The frenzy around the Christmas holiday conceals deeper currents running through advanced techno-industrial societies like froth on the surface of a raging river that surges with dangerous, hidden flotsam. We’re informed that the next James Bond might be a transsexual. But, you see, it’s not just that Hollywood is running out of gimmicks for its floundering “franchises,” but rather that there has been no place for men these days in the struggle to prevent civilization from drowning. The lifeguards are cancelled. All that’s left in the commotion of the flood is the shrieking of women.
Thus, the hysteria over Trumpism. America actually needed a rescue operation and, defective as he was personality-wise, Mr. Trump rose above the surge and called for exactly that, and was pulled under for the effrontery of saying so. It was a bad time to be a man standing out among men. The torrent is in charge now, not the people bobbing and flailing in it. Ride it out, if you can. By and by, the flood will subside and the survivors will be cast back on shore. The shrieking women will also subside, because the men will tell them to cut it out. And then the men and women will go forth reconstructing the human project here in North America.
The landscape will not look the same and we will not act like we did before, when we were just carried along helplessly in the flood. There will be fewer of us. All the giant things, too large to save themselves — the corporations, the institutions, the agencies — will be swept away, but we’ll back on dry land, with a lot of debris to sort through, some of it useful for rebuilding a way of life. We’ll be too busy for any more shrieking and hand-wringing, and crybabies will get whapped upside their heads.
That is what you can expect in the decade ahead. For the moment everything is just froth and noise, and most everybody is in too much of a panic to make sense. Humans don’t do well without sense-making. What makes sense is having a roof over your head, something to eat, some purposeful activities to provide those things, some other people to exist with and care for, and some ceremonies to honor our efforts and declare our gratitude for being here in the first place.
Christmas, most of us understand, is as much about the world descending into cyclical darkness as it is about the birth of a religious figure who signifies our recognition of the very light that makes darkness visible. You also understand, of course, that demons and monsters dwell in the darkness, that they spawn in it. This year, the darkness seems darker than any darkness we remember, and so we may be astonished when the light returns to our world. Eventually, we’ll memorialize the monsters and they will frighten children for generations to come.
I know it’s hard to even imagine generations to come at this moment in history. There is even some question whether human beings will be able to reproduce after the dastardly things we’ve done to our own chemistry. But this isn’t the end of us, not yet anyway. Let’s act as if it’s not, at least. We don’t know for sure where our story goes from here, but we have some say in it depending on what we do. Just knowing that there is a difference between story-telling and story-making is a good start in rediscovering what men are for.
One thing men are responsible for is bringing order to the world. They don’t always succeed, but it must be their duty to make the effort, and it’s not wise to distract them with histrionics when they attempt to do that, or shame them for trying. You are not excused from your duty in any case, American men. It’s not okay to pretend to be women to escape your duty. The women must not allow the men to hide among them and pretend to be them. They must insist that you be men.
One of your duties as men is to oppose false realities to preserve meaning, and you do that first by insisting on being upright yourself and speaking of things as they really are so that you can do with them what you must do. And this is the meaning of authority, which has been submerged in the flood we’re riding on, this flood of false realities drowning the meaning of everything.
I know this makes for a harsh Christmas. It is where we happen to be: the flood-tide of darkness. Do what you can with it, knowing that it marks some kind of turning. I promise you, the light is coming.

Metaphor of the year, James: “The lifeguards are cancelled.”
Sadly, those swept up by the froth still think it wise. And I don’t see them changing their mind before going under for the last time.
jcp
We have talked before on here with some great conversations, but where are some GOOD places to try to live? I lived in colorado, but its overran with high prices and insane politics. Idaho, montana, wyoming are all too expensive (in the places youd want to live). Midwest seems ok. Had my eye on upper peninsula michigan a while, anyone comment on that?
Really need mountains, rivers and moisture. That’s my requirements.
If Mr. Kunstler’s scenario operates, any place will be as good as any other place. Place won’t be the operative concern, but the cooperation of like-minded people will be and the question will be whether or not cooperation is more prevalent in a ‘place’ than competition.
wrong.
location location location.
hawaii over alaska.
more americans are killed in mexico than in all other foreign lands combined.
meanwhile, the jokes write themselves,
EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio (WJW) — The final suspect was arrested in connection with the torture and killing of Alishah Pointer in November.
4 female Summit County Jail inmates transported to hospital after receiving Narcan
In a Facebook post, the East Cleveland Police Department says that around midnight on Sunday, Hakeem Ali Shomo was captured by Hopkinsville Kentucky Police.
Wait, how many are killed in Mexico per year and how many per year in the USA? You might not want to cancel Mexico. outright unless you are 100% sure.
Amman –
You think maybe it’s safer for US citizens in Mexico than it is in the US because more are killed in the US? Have you considered the number of US citizens in Mexico vs.the number in the US, and how that might affect their statistical chances of being killed?
No I do not. That question I opened with is the 1st of many questions, statistical and otherwise, that one must answer before making a decision, if one is so inclined, to move to Mexico i.e you must do a real, comprehensive investigation. There may be far more positives news, facts and opportunities in Mexico than people are given to know by the Cartel DruG Violence fixated Hollywood media.
Thanks, David.
IF USA was all white, murder rate would be similar to Nordic lands, pre muslim-afro invasion.
Well, I consider late abortion to be murder but lets not go there.
Hawaii will starve in a matter of weeks if the supply chains break, unless you can find a remote patch on one of the less populated islands, where you could plant a food forest, in which case you might make it.
Finally I made $92/hr. It’s time to take some action and you can join it too. It is a simple, dedicated and easy way to get rich. Three weeks hgb from now you will wish you had started today. Simply give it a shot on the accompanying site.

Mountain (old eroded ones) rivers and moisture is the Ozarks.
I’m satisfied with life in Arkansas and I’m more than ready to go to a consideration of late term abortion (early term, for that matter). Another reason for life in Arkansas.

And if you provide your services to the right people, you too can become the (alleged) Vice President.
Facing the same sense of desolation and disillusionment I moved to Jalisco, Mexico. Mountains, rivers and moisture here in abundance. And food grows year round in the near-perfect climate. It was hard, terribly hard, but it seemed like the only real choice.
And the people? As in the locals? The natives? Most survival experts warn against going to the 3rd World. The gringos are deeply resented. If you don’t know that now, you may well find out too late.
To a lesser degree, well heeled Liberals sometimes find this out when they set up vacation homes in Red areas. They stand out with their new clothes even when they try to blend in. They find their cars tampered with, etc.
Over the years, trips to Nepal and SE Asia showed me that while the occasional jaunt to a developing but mystifying foreign land might be worth it to broaden your horizons and help you test your mettle, moving to such a location is probably suicide.
I was in several precarious situations in Nepal, and it was a big wake-up call.
The West it is for me.
Get yourself in deep red country at this point. Blend in and be willing to work.
Lol here we go with that ole party thing again, perhaps we should work with unity rather than division but ah that goes against the old inbred party thing you know he’s a commie a liberal a socialist all those things that just makes you want to puke the things that have torn the country apart, so let it come the herd need to be culled out anyway.
night owl, what happened to you?
search ‘death of 2 women in Panama, boqet’. Lisette and her friend.
was it exposure or murder?
many deaths or disappearances there.
Natalee Holloway.
One guy was a massachusetts weed dealer who was living in SD, Cali.
his bones were in a barrel of acid in Tijuana area.
Malth,
I got real sick after drinking a milk-based drink in Patan. A day later we started a 6-day hike to Annapurna with no guide (big mistake). I got real sick on day two and was shitting my innards out by day 4.
On the way back from Annapurna, I thought I was going to die (not kidding). Took some weird meds from a local guide who saw me near passed out halfway down our road back. That kept me stopped up until we hit a point where we could call a Jeep (then day 6). The Jeep broke down on the way to civilization, and we nearly went into a ravine. Once we got back to the only road in the area, they held us up and demanded all of our money. I was with three women in their mid-30s, and I was on death’s doorstep, so we were powerless.
Eventually made it out and got meds and two weeks of bed rest.
I have one of those hats from Nepal with the braids on the sides. It is decorated like a skull. When my wife bought it, it was the only one in my size. It took on a new meaning after that hike.
“They” being the three mountain pirates who took us in the Jeep …
If you make yourself useful to the local population and learn the native tongue you can thrive anywhere,
leaving was hard or resettling once there?
I’ve been living in N.Thailand for 16yrs and have no desire to move back to the homeland-shit-show that Canada has become.
Leaving wasn’t hard..coming back was.
I settled into family life here,with the unique challenges that come with a mixed race/culture relationship.
Language is a barrier – my wife speaks and writes English better than many expats I know – She handles all things ‘Thai’ while I keep ‘face’ , remaining friendly & helpful with the locals , but never getting involved.
Aloofness is the key – Being neither here nor there, one can dwell in a certain kind of ‘freedom’ that is unique only to living in a foreign country.
Your experience in Nepal is a ‘travel horror-story’…which is quit common, especially in Thailand.
Settling down and living in a particularly ‘unknown’ place requires a certain flexibility in thought and temperament – ‘same,same, but different’ – to traveling.
Kinda like when watching chaotic traffic in less than law- abiding countries – no way can you imagine yourself driving there! – until one day you step from the sidewalk and enter the roadway in a different mode, only to discover a peculiar kind of order and flow that seems familiar, then eventually comes to feel like “home”.
As a DARPA member gone rogue, first CHOOSE where NOT to inhabit.
Stay as far as practical from metropolitan areas, ESPECIALLY those “governed” by Deep Blue democrats and district attorney’s sympathetic to the “wokester” agenda.
Classify areas by population density, aquifers, annual sunlight, growing season, precipitation, soil, terrain, access to the right to keep and bear arms, home schooling (if children are in play), county sheriff’s committed to preserving and protecting equitably ALL individual rights of citizens against attack, and district attorney’s committed to the same.
“Strategic Relocation” is a work worth investing in.
The so called wokster thing will disappear once it’s run its course just like the “red scare” back in the 50s but will destroy a lot of good people on its way, but that’s an American thing, and we will never become immune to it because those you elect will never permit it, but you will elect them over and over for great minds run in circles and once you pull that level for him/her they own you for you can’t be wrong.

Got Truth,
All the boxes checked…every one.
If Southern Oregon Coast is not your thing, however, I would suggest New Zealand…they now permit orgies of less than 26 participants…and NO murder hornets. ORGIES…sweet Jesus!

Make sure you locate far away from Andrew or Chris Cuomo, or any CNN ‘journalists’. Likewise, Hollywood culture is not likely a good match, so avoidance of other progressives such as Alec (and the Baldwin Boys) is highly advised. Given Mayor Wilhelm (he changed his name to DeBlasio for the desired optics) of NYC, there could be some much cheaper rents and houses there as out-migration could be significant. A good reference book for research is Joel Skousen’s, Strategic Relocation.
You are very wise, indeed!
And for God’s sake, ditch the TV!
This guy is likely the neighbour from Hades – make sure your Realtor checks to confirm that ‘platform boy’ doesn’t own a cottage in your area.

“As a DARPA member gone rogue, first CHOOSE where NOT to inhabit.”
Probably very few of your readers are DARPA members gone rogue.
Raised in Colorado, it is ruined by Liberal politics.
You did not mention temperature.
Canada? Or warmer, Guadalajara, Mexico, ideal climate.
All of Latin America is becoming expat territory.
Portugal, Spain, Croatia, Montenegro I have heard mentioned.
temperature and rain are important.
I like the cooler temps. I cant handle heat. But I know it needs to be non-frigid to actually grow stuff.
Canada is way too cold. 9 months of Winter and 3 months of hard-sledding is not a joke.
Now, Spring and Summer Heat-domes, and Flooding, rockslides and infrastructure failures happen in the Fall.
In October, neighbours of mine hitch up their SUVs to their RV’s and head South to Mexico at the very earliest opportunity — just before the snow flies.
Asia’s too crowded, Europe’s too old
Africa’s far too hot and Canada’s too cold.
South America stole our name…
Another name coined for the New World is the “Twin continent” i.e. South / North America. Both have a lot in common and a lot not-so-common.
neighbours of mine hitch up their SUVs to their RV’s and head South – Paul
==========
Your perspective is the opposite of mine. I would have worded that: ‘neighbours of mine hitch up their RVs to their SUVs and head South.’
If you need to get lost for awhile, anywhere north of Sudbury, Ontario or Quebec City, Canada might have advantages. Sure, dress well. If the Cuomo Boys keep having wonderful weeks like they are, you might run into them up there mixing in with the Inuit locals trying to avoid detection and the many charges and possible felony ones coming.
I would like to add the Philippines, which I am keeping in mind as a bolt-hole if Indonesia goes too cray-cray in coming years (Shariah stampede toward the caliphate).
Permanent residence in the Phils requires a US$10,000 bond (deposit) the last I read and most important for many of us with no savings or pension you are legally allowed to work. Only country in East Asia with that dispensation, except for the rich bitches who set up their own companies – but of course the rules and regs are always different for them.
The Philippines has wobbly infrastructure (lousy and expensive internet), a degree of crime and violence but nothing like Thailand or Cambodia, and no anti-westerner feeling. Just the opposite in most places, although you will naturally be taken advantage of in commercial exchanges if you allow it.
Stay away from the major cities – especially Manila, and the Muslim south. Try to avoid the heavy typhoon-infested pathways like northern Luzon (inclement weather is the single most critical drawback to living there).
Many westerners have married or hooked up with local women or men and made a fine home. An example was R. Lee Ermey, who gained fame as the Marine drill sergeant in FULL METAL JACKET. He was living with his Filipina wife when somebody recommended him for the part.
The food and local culture is not very interesting (most borrowed from the west) but the beaches are great, and an ambient mood is easy-going, relaxed, tolerant and accepting.
I should also add the while English is widely spoken (more often by older than younger people, alas) medical care is pretty abysmal. Filipinos themselves will sadly confess that the brightest, most energetic and entrepreneurial locals end up so frustrated with the lack of opporunity at home that they move to Canada, Australia or the USA. Or they go work in Japan or Hong Kong.
what about maine
The most pleasant parts are suburbs of Boston, inundated by crazed Liberals. Inland and upstate, the people are like the Appalachians: ferociously clannish and distrustful of outsiders (with good reason of course). You are unlikely to ever be fully accepted even if you accepted at all.
The climate is horrendous, needless to say. The soil, poor.
Some of the many islands actually advertised for people. Don’t know if they still are. That must have been hard for them. Or are they already being taken over by Crazies?
horrendous? long cold winters?
The Bush clan must like summers on the coast there.
Western Mass., the Pioneer Valley and the Berkshires, and NW Ct, some of the best places on earth.
My family comes from Maine, if you’re not from there, or your family isn’t from there, then you’re from away and always will be.
Because of the Teevee most of the young people speak with less of a Maine accent, so i suppose it may be easier to pass as not being from away.
But the places worth moving to are the paces where such things do matter, whether it e KY, Tenn, NM or Maine,
Mosquitos bigger than hummingbirds.

Enjoy!
The upper peninsula of Michigan is wonderful. Munising in particular.
Wisconsin (north of Milwaukee and Madison) is also good. The people are honest and have useful skills. Very clean. Lot’s of rivers, lakes, farmland, forest land, metalworking, papermaking.
One can’t predict the future government anywhere. Don’t worry about it. De Santis is a good governor in my state of Florida but he barely won the election and he might lose the next one.
Watch expat documentaries on you tube.
Number one reason for people leaving?
Politics in DC!
Lack of morality is high on the list.
USA faces hyperinflation and soon, imo.
Desantis may be our next president.
if Soros wants him. if not [and he runs] he is trumped.
We’re still hoping for a White Knight to ride in and save us. I don’t think he will. The system is terminally screwed and we need to build a new one.
You do not need mountains. You want mountains. Heck, I want mountains but I left Colorado in 1990 and never once looked back. Seriously, I saw the future then and I see it now. Latin America? LOL. They’re begging for Socialism from the Rio Grande to Tierra del Fuego and they will think nothing of taking everything from the rich gringo before they slit his throat. No, the correct answer is where you are, especially if you can grow food. If you can’t grow food where you are then you screwed up because the places where you can grow food are closing the gate. They don’t want 11th hour newcomers. They don’t see you the same way you see yourself. which is to say.as a kindred soul. They see what people like you did to Colorado and they will not make the distinction you’re making. They see you as someone who didn’t plan ahead, who will move into their backyard and act like a parasite. Sorry to harsh your mellow, but seriously, dude, the time to think of this crap was ten years ago. Nobody wants you now and by nobody, I mean NOBODY.
Good point. over here in Montana, we’re not pleased at what’s moving in
over here in California, we are unhappy with the invasion.
50k/ month more wetbacks in USA.
TaxD; as a public service; we need to remind folks Montana is now closed. We do hear that the Dakotas are nice.
Lolz, look bud, I fully understand the hate for outsiders, I have it myself at my home state. But its laughable about internet tough guys acting like when you move in people will do something to you. Guess what? IT DOESNT HAPPEN.
It’s not about people doing anything to you, as much as not doing anything for you.
Because if you move into a new place, and the supply chain infrastructure collapses, then without any help from the locals you simply won’t make it.
Sure move to an area with like minded people, but Don’t ever say anything like “We did it differently back home,”
In other words don’t be a condescending jerk. People in rural areas have long memories.
Stay in the background, be polite and helpful if asked, and if you’re in the Bible Belt join a local Church.
“No, the correct answer is where you are, especially if you can grow food.”
True that. Uncle Dave said, “In most cases, you’re better off where you are with what you’ve got.”
They see you as someone who didn’t plan ahead, who will move into their backyard and act like a parasite. Sorry to harsh your mellow, but seriously, dude, the time to think of this crap was ten years ago. Nobody wants you now and by nobody, I mean NOBODY.
I think that’s all a bit harsh and pessimistic, and an over-generalisation.
Once you cull the field of places that are too cold, or too dry, too crowded, polluted, and chaotic, and too far from the growing of food, then you can start making some more nuanced decisions.
Personally I would prefer a place with modest elevation – at least 3,000 feet – avoiding harsh summers, but not bone-cracking cold either. The air is fresher and often the bugs are fewer.
Even if you’re rigorous, there are many places still with reach.
I would look at options where the politics and vibe seem to be attractive, and where the county or city administration has the welcome mat out for growth (industry, people, investment).
And avoid places that are two small or isolated – towns that are big enough to be interesting, with a decent hardware store, barbershop, couple of bookstores, maybe a community college, other local organisations and interest groups, a modest golf course, and you can get a decent coffee.
You don’t want to be driving half your life between the sticks and town.
The Goldilocks position will take some research … you want a place small enough to not have big-city trauma, awful suburbia, and traffic snarls, but also just big enough that people don’t really notice you – you’re not an outsider forever – and the locals don’t look straight out of Deliverance or Petticoat Junction.
Personally I would choose around either the Cascades of northeast California, or the Appalachians of western Virginia.
I don’t know how well Mexico works, but I agree about not being a “rich expat” in lots of the Third World – especially not when you get to say 60.
I suspect that the Appalachian mountains of WV are liable to be filled with lots of characters who look like they starred in the movie “Deliverance.” Do you not realize this? I busted out laughing when I got to the end of your post.
My uncle looks like an extra on the Deliverance shoot. Not a bad look for a guy that lives way out in the sticks. Keeps the city folk away.
I suspect that the Appalachian mountains of WV are liable to be filled with lots of characters who look like they starred in the movie “Deliverance.” Do you not realize this? I busted out laughing when I got to the end of your post.
That would be because you lack reading and comprehension skills I specifically said “western Virginia” and not “West Virginia” – and I burst out laughing when I read your post.
Gotta agree with Liz here: stay where you are (unless it’s really that bad), as long as you can grow food. The Goldilocks era of finding the most comfortable chair is over. The music has stopped, it’s time to sit down.
Agreed, Blackbird. The grass is always greener, especially in these crazy times. We’re thinking of moving away from the dying European mainland, but where too is another matter. Sometimes we just have to be heroes where we are.
” time to think of this crap was ten years ago”
Liz,
…30 years ago to give the planted fruit trees plenty of time to grow.
well said. NOBODY
I have never been to the UP, but one of my daughters spent some time there, and it sounds unpleasant to me: extreme cold, way too much snow, and clouds of mosquitoes in summer.
I would suggest rural Missouri, which is where I live. If it’s mountains and rivers you’re after, the Ozark Mountains in southern Missouri would be a good choice. There are lots of pure, clean, spring-fed rivers there. The population is rather sparse there, and mostly conservative if you stay away from Springfield, a university town. I think property taxes are mostly low. They are low in my area, and I’m about an hour outside Kansas City. Some counties have no building codes, one example being Johnson County, Missouri, but I think there are probably others.
Ive looked at that area a lot. The thing I am worried about is no snow and it being too hot.
Anthea, I live in Boonville MO. I love the Ozarks. The further southish the better.
There are many, many beautiful areas of the Ozarks–probably many I’ve never visited. The area around Bennet Springs is lovely, as is the Shepherd of the Hills country and Ha Ha Tonka. When I was quite a bit younger, it was a family tradition to go on an annual family float trip at Onondaga Cave State Park (near Cuba, Missouri) and float the Meramec River.
I live in the Ozarks also. Hot and humid in the summer with a very diverse population of insects and fungi, for those who like diversity. (Also many ghetto residents moving to town for the cheaper rents. We went years without any murders, but that is over now.)
Right now it is my ideal weather, except for those nasty tornadoes last Friday. Also, things quit growing in December. Sure, the mosquitoes and ticks and chiggers are dead, but so are the tomatoes.
I guess every season has its ups and downs.
We don’t have any influx of ghetto residents, though we do have a very small black population that has lived in the area since before the Civil War. They are so respectable that you can hardly tell them from white people.
Since I’ve lived most of my life in Missouri, the weather seems like a non-issue for me. Normally the extreme heat only lasts two or three weeks, and it’s pretty much the same with the extreme cold.
I really love the good strong sun and heat of Missouri summers–though I tolerate it less well in my old age. I once lived further north (South Dakota) for a year, and when I came back I felt like I had returned to sunny Italy.
Base it on people as much as you can. Some people are mountains you know.
New England has the mountains and water you are looking for; Lots of trees, good people. Outside of the cities, the sense that good fences make good neighbors is still real. Freedom to be who you are, but don’t expect anyone outside of your circle to care who you are.
Aside from Northern New Hampshire and the North Woods of Maine, the rest of New England has become a dystopian nightmare of liberal wokeism.
Considering that the region is somewhere above 90% injected, much higher in the cities.
After a time, when the population is greatly reduced and the disabled become fodder for the medical industry, the region will reset to something very different to what it is now,
I’ve lived in Michigan almost all my life, and love it. I’ve been halfway around the world and back and found nowhere as good as Michigan. The upper peninsula is paradise.

I should go there myself.
It’s nice to be in the forest. There’s always wood to burn, no oil required
An interesting string of comments regarding relocating to a foreign nation. In what capacity? If the thought is that one is only ATM away from the riches of the US and buying the local staff for “next to nothing” may sit on a weak legs. Any thought of assimilating or existing as a permanent Meryl Streep in “Mama mia” movie?
Croatian or Montenegrin who moved to the USA became in no time undistinguished from the any born in. Doubt that is possible other way around.
Talking about those two countries, thought is most likely about having a property on the (gorgeous) coast. Those properties command world class prices. Five room rental owner consider a bad season when after paying taxes is left with low six figure euro bundle, in many attractive places.
If on wants to invest in some business, Americans with “watch and learn” attitude, as I’ve overheard black dude at the airport’s bathroom on my recent trip in Europe calling locals “dumb”, may not get you far on social list. Running, say, a restaurant may get you racketeers knocking on your door. See, the old country had sent criminals to the West to “express themselves” in freedom. On the visits back they were known as such and told to behave or else, which they did. Now Balkans are “free” and those type of men are there and run the show.
Just a thoughts, even though I think that “the current plan” is meant for entire world. At one point people will be forced to decide for the last stand.
The UP doesn’t technically have “mountains”, it has “highlands”. If you like bumpy, the western UP is bumpy. Rivers and moisture too.
Nine months of winter and three months of preparing for winter. Hope ya like huntin’ and fishin’, ’cause ya can’t grow much up there. And choppin’ firewood. A hard land for hard people.
Remote, conservative, self-sufficient – oh, and did I mention cold?
I think it’s best to live among people with whom you have something in common – and the more in common the better. That’s how you build a community, and community is how we the people are going to survive (if we do…).
The racehorse trainer wife and I were considering Kentucky. Didn’t realize it’s part of Tornado Alley, for crying out loud!
One reason I stay where I do- a dearth of hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, and avalanches.
As for floods, those effects can be mitigated with common sense. Sometimes.
I don’t think that Louisville gets many tornadoes.
Nature will have surprises for you wherever you go.
The mountains don’t have them, so Eastern Kentucky out Pineville to Pikeville should be ok, just stay above the river valley or you might be flooded out.
Don’t know how far away you want to be from Colorado but I am partial to the North Georgia mountains. Two hours away from Atlanta but a world away in culture and attitude. I live on a mountain about 2500 feet overlooking a lake and it’s a beautiful area. Same could be said of Eastern Tennessee or Western North Carolina. Sure there are urban areas to avoid but it’s doable. There’s a nice change of seasons with the occasional snow (three years ago we had 12 inches) and there is plenty of humidity for everyone. This past summer it never got over 86 degrees.
Of course you understand there are some mountain folks to deal with but for the most part they just want to be left alone and will do the same for you. Our motto around here is don’t bring the values and liberal culture from whence you came and we can all get along fine.
Also understand that Missouri is a nice place but no mountains to speak of.
Draw a line from the Finger Lakes, due east to the Berkshires, then northeast to Maine, avoiding Boston. Most places north of that line, like the Adirondacks, for example, are very viable in the aftermath. Rivers, lakes, trout streams, forests and open farmlands galore.
Too cold and snowy in winter, so best to steer clear. 😉
The cold isn’t so bad, it’s the snow that gets you, and being cabin bound, but the weather keeps out the riff raff,
Once they can no longer heat their houses because the supply chain infrastructure collapses, or the state stops paying for it. You can bet that the Nuevo Democrats in the northern tier of New England will flood south, that is the ones who survive the winter.
Mountains are of course beautiful but you don’t live on a mountain, you live in foothills. If you want the feeling of living in the foothills of mountains, the upper Midwest has the unglaciated driftless region. You’d be living in nature — rugged bluff country in a region the size of, say, France. Looks like France or Germany, too. Just colder winters and warmer summers.

FallenHero wants to know where he should live.
===========
Just below, Malthuss has terminated all this where-to-live chit chat so I’m going to squeeze in one more recommendation for Fallen just above Malth.
I am surprised no one has asked how old you are. Let’s say you are 65 or more. You’re either retired or soon will be. In an amazingly short period of time (or so it will seem) you will be 80 and suffer from all the ailments that come with that age. Arthritis, enlarged prostate (you’ll be up every 3-4 hours during the night to pee), loss of hearing, loss of memory (i.e. dementia/ alzheimers, I could go on. And that’s if you’re lucky enough to still be alive.
The last thing you’ll want to do is farm the lower 40 or hike the Appalachian Trail from end to end.
So, what is my point? If you are fortunate enough to have children you would be best off to live near the most loving and willing caregiver among them. It is guaranteed you will need to be cared for unless you do what my brother did at age 77 and 1/3 yrs and that is to suddenly drop dead with no prior history of illness. What a blessing sudden death can be for all concerned!!!
My wife and I are currently the caregivers for my BIL Peter who becomes a bigger pain-in-the-ass every day that goes by. I can state with certainty that, were it not for my wife, Peter would be dead a year ago.
I live in the southeastern part of Michigan. Ida, Maybee area. No mountains, but plenty of rivers and lots of farmland. I grow/raise most of my food. Abundant supply of protein for hunting and fishing. I agree with shotho. You really need cooperation and like minded people. I grew up on the farm I live on. Most other farms are third,fourth, and fifth generation. Don’t just look for land, look at the people who comprise the places you look.

hello
Well, Leila, I must say you have a huge pair of brass balls, joy riding on Jim’s site and running your ad 4 times in succession.
Re ‘rivers & moisture’ as desiderata – have you considered sea coast, whence all life came?
And still does, if one is lucky enough to find a mangrove swamp.
The never ceasing tide is eternal balm.
Especially when there is none in Gilead (Jeremiah 8:22) which the US is about to become.
How deep and incognito are you willing to go to escape the madness and hang on to your freedoms? You want mountains, rivers, moisture, creeks, privacy? I suggest you go deep in the Appalachians. But this is a hard life and you must be willing to give up a lot of things and you must know how to physically work hard and learn to grow a garden. The folk round here might not meet up to ya standards, but they honest & goodhearted and if need be, would have your six if called upon. We mind our own, care for our own but welcome all. Oh, a piece of advice,,,,,,, stay the hell away from Michigan!!
Eastern Kentucky, Western West Virginia, parts of Eastern Tennessee outside of the area near the nuclear power plants.
The Ozarks, aside from the regions near the WalMart hq.
next James Bond might be a transsexual.
We will settle for Janie Bond, a Black, Lesbian from Africa who is here ‘undocumented’ and is a communist.
I do not see the Bond franchise making more than one more movie which will flop miserably due directly to the lack of a strong male lead.
In China, Black faces are removed from movie ads.
Chinese want to see Whites and Yellows.
It’s interesting to see the Chinese reject most of the cultural trends that are being foisted on western society. They’ve apparently outlawed “girly men” on social media for example.
China outlawed Girly Men about the same time in the US girls were admitted to Marine Bootcamp to train alongside male recruits. We are told it’s a smashing success, but we’ll see. We’ll see when we get into it with China and Russia; that’ll be the real test where many elemental truths are revealed.
Happy to see Speilberg’s woke “Westside Story” tanking.
And there’s a new woke Annie out there too! The little orphan girl is now “of color,” right?
E.T. Is going to be Black in the 2024 remake
Sarah Silverman and Seth Rogan’s hateful ‘Sante Inc.’ has tanked too, in fact has been cancelled. More good holiday news.
Rogan is blaming White Supremacists on it demise, not that sucked and is full of enmity.
One of the English language papers here had a long article about the new “Westside Story”. I didn’t read it all but the headline described the new version as better than the original.
I read the next Bond will be binary: not male or female. Or both?
Can’t wait to miss it.
Somebody should make a movie parody of these woke times starring Dave Chapelle. “Chapelle’s Nightmare”. Every base covered. Especially make jokes about CRT and white privilege etc. Go for major head explosions.
You’ll laugh till you cry.
Wow, I can already see the queues forming outside the cinemas. People stretching out overnight in their sleeping bags outside the front doors. When does it go to DVD?
Yup JCP, the idiots will continue to cheer as they as they ride surfboards on the frothing tide because it is a new form of entertainment. Any anger issues remaining can be taken out on Donald Trump and will probably still be the rage long after he has expired. Heck I wouldn’t be surprised to see Dopey-Joe-Biden-His-Time elevated to the president’s chair forever even after he croaks, if he can even do that right. They can always freeze him or replace him with a hologram and should for he is the perfect puppet for those that are calling the shots. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, the Great & Powerful Oz has spoken!
It’s certainly entertaining, just like football. I always can’t wait for the next Giants game on TV. But then I watch the “entertainment” and end up wishing I hadn’t, being left angry, disappointed, despondent and hopeless.
I have two words for you. Detroit Lions.
Oh boy, that’s a stinger!
Right? I can’t even imagine. WTF
Another commentary of sheer brilliance from JHK. They just get better and better. It sent shivers down my aged spine just reading it. Yes, it will indeed be a dark Christmas; but maybe too it will be the first REAL Christmas for many a long year. One where we remember what it’s supposed to mean and don’t let ourselves be dazzled by the tinsel and treats.
So far, that has been true for me Herewolfy. First. Time. Ever.

Oh my. Mr. Kunstler, your writing has reached a new level of spiritual clarity. This is remarkable.
Jim is the Poet-Philosopher of our time.
agreed, the shrieking Cassandra of peak oil. Been calling this for 20 years and it’s coming to pass.
but we have green energy.
Hear, hear!
Once again you have hit the nail of the moment directly on the head. Panic and distraction is the business of those that blather and rage rather than do what is needed and necessary in times of troubled waters.
James – yes, these may be dark times, but what a Great Time to be Alive!
Anyone can live in easy times. Now is the opportunity to prove our mettle.
Keep speaking the truth . . . and rejoice!
I have seen a few change their minds right here jc.
Let men be men. Amen
Peggy Noonan had a great piece 20 years ago. She’s not as enlightened as she was these days… and the original is not the current one, but this is a great read — if nothing but a little perspective:
https://peggynoonan.com/156/
“Good times breed bad men,
Bad men breed bad times,
Bad times breed good men,
…and so it goes.”
jcp
JCP, I think the saying goes like this:
https://i1.wp.com/www.cynlibsoc.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/strong-men-create-good-times.jpg?fit=684%2C1024
Yes. That’s Turning Point USA’s version… an often-hijacked [via left, right, or NSA] version of the truth. That specific depiction disgusts me, to be honest. Read more. Perspective matters.
My rendition is my rendition. Having been to just a couple of shitholes [>20] and lived a few years longer than the me-generation [>50] I have a little more perspective.
Humankind did not flourish upon [perhaps ravish] this Earth through the meek and mild, feel-good neat-speak BS orators that so hypnotize the wanting masses. That’s why we’re still here: To the victors go the spoils.
And, spoil it they have.
JHK prophesizes, “We’ll be too busy for any more shrieking and hand-wringing, and crybabies will get whapped upside their heads.” The time between good times and bad times can be millennia…just sayin’
jcp
I’m not even sure this is apropos to your comment, but you got me to thinking, “What exactly makes for good times or bad times?”
Are good times those times when you don’t have to kindle a fire in a woodstive or fireplace (or fire ring in your cave) to cook and keep warm? It is better to turn up the thermostat? We know the food is not as good in these “good times.” We know that the people are not as good, mostly because we have heard tell of times when people were a lot better.
You can ask the same question about success. What is success?
Thanx jc, will read.
Jcp, wish I’d read that Peggy Noonan piece right when I saw it here the first time.thanks. brilliant.
Destruction of manhood (as well as womanhood for that matter) was an integral part of the agenda being advanced to destroy our society from within. It is especially disgusting to me that so many appear to have fallen for the gender wars (or at least that the media is pretending that so many have), because no matter what you may believe spiritually, we were clearly made to work together and not against one another.
“The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.”…Matthew Henry – maybe or not totally accurate, but in spirt wonderfully phrased IMHO.
Left to their own devices, either gender would screw every system up if they did not have the other gender there to keep the ship of life on course. We are designed to complement each other, NOT to war with each other. All of the distraction wars they have us fighting right now, be it economic, race, gender, or vaccination status are designed to keep us fighting one another rather than against the garbage bags at the working end of Dopy-Joe-Biden-His-Time’s strings. You may or may not believe that these creatures are demonic, but you can rest assured that they are indeed evil incarnate. They will not stop now until some dramatic and probably un-earthly intervention takes place, and even then, it will probably be deception. Beware.
Walter: I think most real men and women know the gender wars guff is exactly that. They get along just as they always have done? And is it about gender anyway? During the awful 20 months I’ve noticed many, many wonderful people. Some have been men; some have been women. But their defining qualities of integrity and courage has nothing to do with that.
It is certainly difficult if not impossible to have a feel for how our society as a whole is doing because the media is doing everything it can to distort reality and drive us all to hopelessness. That is what makes places like this so valuable to me.
Fuck them. Go out and live the best life you can. That pisses them off even more that you’re not living in fear.
Good point about media distortion of reality. I loathe and despise the Wokesters, but I also am rather tired of hearing about them 24/7. The fact of the matter is that 99% of the worst excesses of wokesterism have been confined to about a dozen or so deep blue urban areas. The rest of the country is far less afflicted, to one degree or another, and most of Red State America is largely not impacted at all, except to the extent that the federal government tries to impose various woke mandates on them.
Here in NW Alabama I think it is safe to say that if a Woke troublemaker were to pop their head up and try to make a stink they’d be quickly corralled and shipped off into confinement where they would be studied by local law enforcement in order to determine how best to prevent public nuisances like them from defiling the sacred soil of this region again.
So, for the most part, life here goes on as it has for centuries. About the closest thing to the Wokester counter-culture to be found here are the pathetic, squatley-looking, poor rural rednecks who are occasionally encountered working as checkout clerks at Wally World while sporting various neon-inspired hair colorations and accompanying tats and piercings. Other than that, they are mostly non-existent here, as evidenced by the fact that our Confederate War Memorial still stands in the courthouse square despite all of the iconoclasm that swept some other areas of the South over the past 5 years.
@Wizard
Recently saw documentary called Muscle Shoals about the music scene. At least 5 years old but very good. I sent the recommendation to my buddy who grew up in Hsv with me and now lives in Santa Monica and he said you mean Mussel Shoals, home of the freshwater clam. I told him his Alabama native son card was revoked–it might be true about the clams but the spelling was like his Muscle Beach…
The serious problem IMO is that grown adults aren’t the target for converts in so called gender wars, it’s the kids, and in that sense there will be plenty of converts over time and this could drag on forever and a day,especially with single parent households and God knows what bad stuff in the physical environment causing hormonal issues with young adults and teens.
They are the easy targets for those who understand patience in their deception. It appears to be working too and that is heartbreaking, if it is so.
Black feminism has been very destructive to the black community. They are anti family. In fact, I’m becoming suspicious of feminism as a whole. Feminism got us Kamala Harris.
So long as they stay well away from normal people such as women & children.
Honor defines Men. America is losing its honor.
Honor insists that a man can be trusted, a basic of human relationships. Without trust, humanity collapses.
Our politics has closed the book on trust, thus honor. Lying and falsehoods are the name of the game today.
No wonder young men, unschooled by their dads, are going insane today. No wonder the young men, falsely entering our country are just adding to the miasma.
JHK has put up a dangerous idea, that is is the fault of women that this is occurring, that men are not having their feet held to the fire by females to do their damned job, to provide honor to society, to train their young people on the proper role for men, and to provide protection and direction for human society.
Must be easier for young men to become women, to absolve their responsibility and honor to society, either directly (trans) or indirectly by just dropping out (gangs).
The maternalistic societies in America are hotbeds for the breakdown of honorable, moral populations. We are witnessing the destruction that happens when men drop out or are allowed to drop out.
I didn’t get that it is the fault of women at all.
Women making excuses for the men in their lives being louses is nothing new, but that doesn’t make those women the cause of the men being what they are.
Let it be so! Women must lose the right to vote if there is to be any renewal. They don’t understand that history is written in red ink.
Here, the lyrics for Scotland the Brave
Let Italy boast of her gay gilded waters
Her vines and her bowers and her soft sunny skies
Her sons drinking love from the eyes of her daughters
Where freedom expires amid softness and sighs
[Verse 2]
Scotland’s blue mountains wild where hoary cliffs are piled
Towering in grandeur are dearer tae me
Land of the misty cloud, land of the tempest loud
Land of the brave and proud, land of the free
[Verse 3]
Enthroned on the peak of her own highland mountains
The spirit of Scotia reigns fearless and free
Her green tartan waving o’er blue rock and fountain
And proudly she sings looking over the sea
[Verse 4]
Here among my mountains wild I have serenely smiled
When armies and empires against me were hurled
Firm as my native rock I have withstood the shock
Of England, of Denmark, of Rome, and the world
[Verse 5]
But see how proudly her war steeds are prancing
Deep groves of steel trodden down in their path
The eyes of my sons like their bright swords are glancing
Triumphantly riding through ruin and death
You only have what you can keep. Those that attempt to take it from you must be taught how unwise such attempts are. Any woman who objects to the gun in your house or on your person is your enemy and should be shown the door. Obviously don’t get involved with any that are anti-second amendment or anti-male. That’s most of them. They’ll change when things change. And pretend they always believed in men’s right. Women are mutable, without a center. Thus they cannot be trusted with the franchise.
You should read Born Fighting by James Webb. An interesting history of the Scotts/Irish.
@butter56 – that was a wonderful book. I had an Irish great grandmother and Scots/Irish grandfather but I never understood why we weren’t Catholic. My mom would just say we are Scots/Irish and leave it at that.
It wasn’t until I read Born Fighting that I truly understood what that meant. Although I am 3/4 Scandinavian my 1/4 Scots/Irish is my fighting spirit. I once heard Donald Trump was Scots/Irish but who knows. Rumor has it that the Scots/Irish were the reason the Revolutionary War was won!
My guess is that women were denied the vote originally because the lifestyles at the time did not lend themselves to having women enough in the information loop to be able to make informed choices for voting. That clearly changed as the suffragette movement successfully pointed out. But today, I am afraid that now the technologies and media (social and otherwise), make it impossible for anyone to make intelligent or logical choices in the voting process. Plus, Bonhoeffer was right.
From actual, first-hand experience on a decade’s worth of door-to-door campaign trails, I have heard and seen in person much proof of the theory that far too many voters are simply not qualified to vote. Between the “I vote for who my buddy Joe tells me to vote for”, or “I vote for whoever is the democrat” (republicans say it too), or even, “I always vote for people with Italian sounding names”. Seriously, no exaggeration, it stupefies me.
I think that the politicians realize this and have taken steps to remove voters from elections by simply dialing in who the money men want. I cannot see any reason whatsoever to partake in the BS scam again, though I promised myself that I will vote for Tulsi Gabbard anyway.
WB – I have to agree with the general thrust of your observations. It strikes me that as America has steadily expanded the voting franchise, the country has become increasingly dysfunctional.
The problem today, as I see it, is more an issue of inadequate IQ of the average voter, further compounded by poor education and a lack of dedication to keeping up with current events. At least half of the present day U.S. electorate is stupid, apathetic, poorly educated, arrogant, vicious, and overly possessed with an entitlement mentality. This problem is not confined to any one race or gender, but it IS found in varying dilutions as you march through the various demographic groups.
Since discrimination by race, sex, etc. are all pretty much frowned upon and precluded by law these days, I think the only hope is if we can at least restore a general appreciation for the need for legitimate minimal voting qualifications. We need to stop trying to endlessly expand the voting franchise as we’ve been doing for about a century and a half now. Clearly, the pendulum has swung too far. The time has come to set some decent standards and insists that those who desire to vote provide evidence of having MET those standards.
I’m sure many here could suggest what those standards should be. For my own part, I’d at least like to insist on the following:
1) Must be U.S. citizens.
2) Must be 25 to 80 years of age. All ages above or below this range excluded from eligibility to vote or hold office.
3) Must have an IQ of at least 110.
4) Must be able to pass a voting qualification test to demonstrate literacy and baseline knowledge of American history, government, and the Constitution.
5) Must be a taxpayer.
6) Must NOT be receiving handouts, income, entitlements, etc. from any level of government.
7) Must not be convicted felons.
8) Must NOT be mentally ill.
Wiz,
I agree with #1 (obvious), and maybe #5 (but aren’t we all taxpayers, one way or another?).
Anyway, all but #1 are very contentious.
And in the end, the love you take — er, um, uh — we never were a democracy. We’re a democratic republic, so there’s no definitive way to operate voting. In an actual true democracy, it’s one person, one vote. Period. Every question becomes a referendum, and that’s why it don’t work.
I concur. I think that few people of either sex are qualified to vote. Most people just vote for whomever they think will give them money or support the mechanisms or organizations that will give them money or financial advantage. The largest voting block of this kind is government employees/retirees and public sector unions.
My observation is that liberals, almost to a man, are government employees or quasi-government employees (and retirees).
A year or so ago, figures indicated that almost 20% of the working population is made up of government employees at some level of government. When you consider that there is probably at least another 20% whose income is heavily or entirely dependent on government funding (e.g., health-care), probably about half the employed people in this country are on the government tit. And that’s without factoring in welfare, food stamps, and the rest.
Consider too that all these people who are on the government tit have spouses who at least to some degree dependent on them and will vote the same way.
That was written in 1950 by an inky Glasgow journalist (Hancock) with a meagre grasp of history.
Scots tribes fought on foot, they did not ride which is why they were defeated, terminally, at Culloden,

Not directly as adults but
Women raise boys into men, men not directing boys into men with masculine traits at the behest of Moms are the missing element.
A little used phrase any more
Just wait til your father gets home!
So, where are the fathers in this? How do you lay all the blame on women and excuse the fathers? This makes no sense.
It’s okay Mary.
They’re just having a moment.
Hahahahaha! Good one, Abby.
“I’m having a moment…a little verklempt… discuss amongst yourselves…”
I’m sure those fathers would be doing a bang-up job of raising upright and responsible children, if only they weren’t so busy spawning new bastards on the other side of town.
It’s a collective failure. It’s not either/or. It’s both/and.
Not letting you get away with the comment..
Men not directing boys into men with masculine traits at the behest of Moms are the missing element.
Does that sound like I am blaming mothers only? Moms and dads working together raise healthy children, both. Today, both are at fault, let alone single parent families, let alone LBTGQ children.
18% of Americans have nuclear families, that ship sailed 50 years ago.
…when it was already listing badly, before sinking without trace.
I was a single mom for many years. When other moms would debate whether corporal punishment was acceptable, I always used to say that I was unable to comment on this issue, as my kids never did anything wrong.
If you think about it, that’s not even the way you train a dog. I’ve seen a couple of dogs trained in the past few years, and my daugher and son-in-law are in the process of training my dog to keep to his own territory and stop annoying the neighbors and bothering their dogs and horses. (I am elderly and can’t walk the perimeters with him.)
Children are actually easier than dogs because dog-stuff is non-verbal.
There is no aspect of raising/training children that can’t be done by mom. If things are the point where you must physically overpower a kid to get them to behave, you failed a LONG time ago.
As with dogs, you must first have a strong bond with the child-critters. About 90% of the rest is modeling. About 9% is actively teaching, and about 1% is stern looks and stern words. Moms can manage this last perfectly well.
And have done for untold millennia.
The concept of ‘father’ exists only in biology – it has no other function.
Utterly useless, not to say seriously deleterious, when crowbarred into social relationships.
Among the higher primates (as well as most species apart from seahorses…) the family unit is mother, daughters and the female offspring. The males are sent off asap when approaching puberty.
Those who think that stallions/rams/bucks have harems obviously haven’t spoken to the mares/ewes/dams.
I would judge that about half of the screaming Karens of the 2020 covid hysteria were actually Kens, though I haven’t counted. This seemed somehow more unbecoming on men. One is aware that there are a lot of silly women around who are eager to sieze on any opportunity to dominate others, or just generally be bossy. (We have them in our families.) This is invariably because such women have been justly ignored and held in contempt all their lives. This was their once-in-a-lifetime opportuny to play the social dominance card, backed by “authorities” backed with guns. Nothing more. Anyway, the ploy is familiar and most of us know how to handle such women.
When a man goes in for this kind of thing, it seems to imply a more serious character flaw than just being a born stupid bitch, which is arugably at least as much of a misfortune as it is a fault (about half low intelligence and half low character). In a man, it looks like cowardice, unreason, and a rather faggy hysteria, and is pathetic. It is, after all, pathetic to be unmanned by a damn sniffle. But maybe I am just holding the men to a higher standard.
As for any of this being the fault of women (for not holding men to a higher standard), the women in this country were forced to give up on the men starting around 1970. If you can’t send them to the store for a red onion and have them come back with a red onion, there can be little expectation of them being able to do anything else.
Well now we see the problem, both from Ant and those above. One sex must rule, and it simply cannot be theirs.
@ Jarek:
Each has their proper sphere in which they have the final say–unless they are total fuck-ups in their proper sphere. And very often these days, both the men and the women are total fuck-ups in their proper sphere.
But I can’t resist making the observation that there are some things that most men simply cannot do (besides have babies).
Once when I was dining out with extended family, there were four young guys seated at the next table, having an incredibly inane conversation. When they left, I asked my daughter, “What was that all about?” She replied, “They’re IT guys.” I said, “But why were they dressed like Whizzo the clown?” and she said, “They don’t have wives.”
@ Jo-G:
While it is said that it is usually the women who initiate court proceedings for divorce, which is probably true, it is usually the men who initiate the divorce. That is, it is usually the men who abandon their families, lay around drunk all the time, fail to support their families, are violent and abusive, or commit adultery, etc. It is these actions that “initiate” divorce.
Maybe he didn’t like red onions. And where do you get off sending him to get one anyway? He probably realized that you were a Female Supremacist by and by (you’ve already admitted as much here) and what quality man wants to be around that? He is well rid of you.
@ Jarek:
The red onion incident happened when we were having a family barbeque (someone’s birthday, I think). Everyone was busy but my ex. My daughter and son-in-law were grilling and I was preparing side dishes. Someone else was probably herding kids. The reason my ex was idle at this time was because he was either unwilling or unable to do any of this stuff.
IMHO, burgers are to be served with red onions. I figured that maybe could successfully do ONE thing to contribute, so I sent him to the store to get ONE item. Welp, turned out he couldn’t even do that.
As to whether he likes or dislikes red onions, while this remains a mystery these past forty years, he would have had neither the discernment nor the authoriyt to make this decision. The choice of onions would be determined by the preference of all partaking in the meal, and certainly not by the one person who was idle and not involved in the preparation of the food. And, as with many other things, there is a right way and a wrong way to do stuff. Red onions with burgers are the right way. Yellow onions are acceptable but sub-optimal. Some people prefer their onions lightly grilled, so these should be provided.
Decision making on these and other matters should be based on competence–and level of contribution.
Even when my kids were young and undertook some project, I made it a rule that if they were doing the job, they got to do the decision-making.
@ Jarek:
I wouldn’t say I’m a “female supremacist.” As I said, authority and decision-making should be based on compentence and–even moreso–whether you’re the one doing the actual work.
If I tend to favor the ladies’ authority and decsion-making, it is because too many of the men have no competence at anything at all and are unwilling to contribute anything at all. Obviously, in the above case, my son-in-law was in there slugging with both hands, manning the grill. Do you suppose anyone should have the right to tell him when to flip the burgers? Or, while my daughter was manning the grill, that someone should have the right to tell her when to flip the burgers?
By way of another amusing anecdote, both my son-in-law and my ex were astounded that anyone would make up a bed with “hospital corners.” (Like there’s some other way to do it.) And my son-in-law is a guy who will get out a micrometer to mark a cut on dimension lumber. (My ex probably still doesn’t know what dimension lumber is.)
@ Jarek:
Here’s another amusing (I hope) anecdote:
A number of years ago, one of my daughters asked me if a couple of her friends who were traveling across country could stay at my house for the night. I didn’t know them at all. I decided that after a long road trip, they would appreciate a nice dinner, so I planned to serve them deep-fried catfish, polenta, and coleslaw.
The female side of this pair (Bridget) helped with the food prep. The guy (Fox) stood around and told us he wanted his coleslaw without dressing, and that he didn’t want his catfish breaded and deep fried. So I put a catfish filet on a pie pan and told him to bake it to suit himself. I didn set aside a portion of undressed coleslaw for him.
He seemed rather disgusted by his food when we sat down to eat, and it did look like crap. But, as Robert Burns observed in “Country Lass,”
“Syne as ye brew, my maiden fair,
Keep mind that ye maun drink the yill.”
@ Jarek:
Are you seriously saying that if you were attending a family Thanksgiving dinner and the hostess asked you to pick something up on the way over, you would refuse because your hostess is female (daugher, sister, aunt)?
Or, if you were a guest who, for whatever reason, was present throughout the meal preparation (maybe because it’s at your house and your wife is the hostess, or because you are an overnight guest), and your hostess asked you run to the store for something, you would refuse? (She has spent two or three days in meal prep, and is standing over the stove stirring a pot of homemade egg noodles and realizes that she forgot to pick up some Asti Spumate to go with the brie en croute.)
If so, you are very rude.
@ Jarek:
I am coming to think that I am perhaps belaboring my point, but I begin to suspect that you have never had a normal family life. Perhaps you are an orphan who was raised by Cistercian monks. (The ladies are conspicuously absent in Cistercian monasteries.) Clearly, no one has ever pulled a pan of homemade biscuits (“Grandma’s Mile-High” biscuit recipe) out of the oven in your presence. That’s probably why the Cistercians don’t have women around; they would be their slaves forever.
IMHO? You’ve never had a humble opinion in your life.
Mild temperment? All the better to lure people in. Procrustes was no different….
Not a female supremacist? You’ve already admitted as much. Do you not remember? Perhaps you’re more complicated – and less integrated – than you know. This is a good thing since the other Anthea is very bad news.
A theory: Your animus is out of control and always has been. Apart from the Jungian, the main meaning is “hostility”. But let’s focus on the Jungian. You marriage may have been one of your secondary personality, the inferior male or animus to his inferior femininity, the anima. Since both “people” are caricatures and the main personalities not engaged, such things are a disaster waiting to happen.
Get Donna’s book yet? It’s not nice to worship Hecate in the under the guise of the BVM. That’s like the Santa Muerte cult of the drug dealers in Mexico.
This seems like an opportune time to remind you that “real men”–or even real adults–are characterized by detachment, objectivity, and a high level of emotional control. I.e., they do not easily (and certainly not publicly) give way to pique and begin casting aspersions on the character of others, and fabricating imaginary scenarios that seem to justify their views. This is at best immaturity.
You may have noticed that the worst thing I have ever said about you is that you seem to have been an orphan raised by Cistercian monks–a surmise that was offered, not as a personal attack, but as a possible excuse or explanation your lack of experience or engagement with the distaff side.
Okay, I did say your life seems a bit arid and dusty. My opinion. I don’t know what you do with your life or your time, but I notice you have never said anything about an impact wrench, chain saw, reciprocal saw, or other useful object–thus giving the impression of aridity and dustiness, even as guy lives go.
Anthea:
“This was their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play the social dominance card, backed by “authorities” backed with guns. Nothing more. Anyway, the ploy is familiar and most of us know how to handle such women.”
Not so sure about this.
Many Karens are probably narcissistic, and it is damned difficult to “handle” narcissists. Yet they are authoritarians in the sense of receiving their sense of authority to tell others what to do from an “authority” outside themselves, not from within themselves.
In addition, however, I think a lot of this controlling/narcissistic development has to do with birth order, the struggle for dominance among siblings (esp. boy-boy and girl-girl), and upbringing within the family of origin, which largely determines how those intra-familial struggles play out. .
A family without a man (man abandoned family; divorce and man living elsewhere), helmed by a woman—esp. if the mother is also working—that is too much free-floating emotion for a woman alone, probably tired after working all day, to manage, or even understand. She may favor her son and ignore the girls, even if it is the girls who take up the slack in shopping, cooking, etc.. Who also need a father to form healthy relationships and to set boundaries. That is why two parents are needed.
Generally it is men who leave women and the family, not the other way around, soooo . . . .
“Many Karens are probably narcissistic, and it is damned difficult to “handle” narcissists. Yet they are authoritarians in the sense of receiving their sense of authority to tell others what to do from an “authority” outside themselves, not from within themselves.”
Well stated.
Karens have their place in society. The trouble is, we have gradually allowed in the creeping authoritarianism that has anyone and everyone seizing the least little bit of unearned authority that the government “gives” them.
I myself summoned my inner Karen not too far back when helping out a relative who had a problem with a local hospital’s dysfunctional billing department.
What a waste of human potential to have otherwise competent humans looking at strangers to see whether their nostrils are showing.
This is deliberate.
I have noticed that, Islander, sometimes a mother feels guilty that her son does not have a father. No one seems to think that a girl needs a father too.
“Generally it is men who leave women and the family, not the other way around, soooo . . . .”
Is it true that most divorce proceedings are initiated by husbands?
70% or more of divorces are brought by women – because it is in their financial interest to do so.
It’s mind boggling how out of touch you are.
With lockdowns rampant on the Continent, it is interesting watching men doing a new task, supamart shopping.
Though supplied with a detailed list – obviously, no woman would trust them without one – they still make a hash of it and drive the poor shelf stackers to distraction. .
A man who is anti-male. What a pathetic creature you are, mumbles. Mommy’s little helper!
I don’t blame women per se, but I do blame feminism, finding it the unpleasant and strident heart of the woke movement.
I often say that the only people who were liberated by “women’s liberation” were men. They were liberated from all social, financial, and sexual responsibility.
Let’s hear it for a Lysistra League, backed a young, fit Judith & Jael cohort.
Real women want and need real men.
Real men won’t take orders from women. What you want is not what you are going to get with attitude you show above.
My wife gives orders aplenty, some of which I ignore, most of which I don’t, cuz they make sense. On the rare occasions when I give orders, she usually says, “Yes, Papa.”
‘Twas ever thus.
I have noticed that in happy families, it seems to be the mother who calls the shots.
Happy wife, …
Happy families are all alike. Unhappy families are different in myriad ways.
I paraphrase, but close enough. One of the all-time best opening lines, along with “Call me Ishmael.”
JT – I agree with this. In a healthy marriage, a real man is the final word, but he is a fool if he never considers the sage advice of a real woman standing by his side.
This truth also means that real men and real women should be very judicious about the selection of a mate. Too many people enter into marriage too fast and without enough vetting of the other person. This can be a very expensive and life-destroying mistake.
Most of this also applies to unmarried couples if they have any desire to make that far less permanent arrangement last for any great length of time.
My Father said, he made all the big decisions and left my Mother to make all the little decisions but having been married
50+ years he hadn’t yet had to make any big decisions….
@ JT in MD
I always thought this was a funny quote from Einstein:
“When we first got married, we made a pact. It was this: In our life together, it was decided I would make all of the big decisions and my wife would make all of the little decisions. For fifty years, we have held true to that agreement. I believe that is the reason for the success in our marriage. However, the strange thing is that in fifty years, there hasn’t been one big decision.”
JTinMD: I always insist on having the final word when I talk to my wife. It’s usually “Yes, dear. Right away!”
I have exactly what I “want”.
Hanging with the little ones teaching them and cooking and making cut-out cookies and playing Play-Doh. Reading and writing in peace with no one to answer to except my own inner demands.
Not a man in sight save for my son and he loves and respects me and when I ask him for anything he takes care of it. Well, maybe after the fifth reminder.
“Not a man in sight save for my son and he loves and respects me and when I ask him for anything he takes care of it. Well, maybe after the fifth reminder.”
Forcing a boy to do a man’s job or a child to play an adult role is cruel. If there is no man in sight whoever is doing the man’s job is doing a poor job or the job isn’t being done, Today’s essay or sermon addresses this.
Men have their rightful sphere and women have their’s. Life runs more smoothly when each may rule in their own domain, not that it doesn’t take negotiation to establish that. For instance, my father was hopeless with money, a trait I inherited, but my mother was an excellent financial manager. My husband was CFO of our little corporation, and the face we presented to the world in our business dealings.
A real man would be able to know what to do and how to do it without being told. It should, for example, be unnecessary for a wife to tell her husband to rotate the tires, shut the front door when the heat or AC is running, clean the gutters, cut the grass, and so forth. But when you are dealing with a child rather than a real adult man, you have no option but to tell him what to do.
If you’ve ever read Jack London’s short story, “Samuel,” the several Samuels in the story are roughly what most women have on their hands: A “monster idiot.” If they are telling the guy what to do, it should probably be construed as an effort to train him to be a “real man.”
You would never be within speaking distance of a women, apart from perhaps a cashier.
Absolutely abbywood. I could never understand why someone want a man they can lead around by his, for lack of a better word, dick! I am so blessed to have a real man, one who is steadfast in his beliefs and principles, but also willing to consider another opinion.
The thoughts of having to direct and boss around some pantywaist makes me tired to no end. Sort of like dealing with a recalcitrant child.
Reminds me of a now-funny incident. I ignored an “order” once, and wifey said, “Why are you so defiant?!?” She received a cold stare, and never accused me of defiance again.
A girl I know married a guy, in my opinion, largely because she can easily manipulate him. Then she complains about his spinelessness, to her dad, in front of her husband. Inertia will keep them together.
@ Blackbird:
I think my ex married me because it seemed I was easily manipulated. In real life I come off as quite the pansy. This attracts bullies of both sexes. Low characters smell blood. But if you happen by temperament to be rather mild and unassuming, you become a master at putting such people in their place. And it really doesn’t take much, as such people are cowards. Kind of like, “Please don’t force me to insist.”
I don’t understand this talk of one person bossing the other one around. I don’t like bossy people.
My husband and I are partners. We do what needs to be done, discussing what needs to be done and dividing the work among ourselves, and the rest of the time we do what we want to do.
I like to cruise the internet. He likes to watch TV. Neither of us tells the other one to stop. I might show him a funny meme and he might find TV shows he thinks I’ll like, but that is the extent of it.
On Friday night we argued about where to go if the tornado came here. I was irrational and we both know it, but I did not want to go into the storm shelter because it freaks me out. I told him that he could go alone, but he refused to leave me.
I like that about him.
Balance of power! Sharing experiences! Enjoying each other’s company! Giving more than receiving!
Listening!! Not ordering !
Compromise!
Getting married, think on all these.
Sex as a motivator in marriage only lasts for a while.
Our 50% divorce rate shows how many folks do not understand relationship rules.
On Dec. 21, we are celebrating 53 years together, and each one is better than the last.
Sounds like you’ve cracked the marriage issue, Paula. Well done! I hate bossy people too, but don’t either want to be a Victorian patriarch in my household. We work out a balance, like you and other sane people always have done. One of the many reasons I hate the nuttier part of feminism is that it insists that male-female relationships should always be a zero sum battle for power. They don’t realize that men and women can actually work out a balance themselves. Oops, have to dash! My wife is “asking” me to take out the dog!
Call me old fashioned but I think marriage is a partnership between two consenting adults. Not this is your job, this is my job. My father was ahead of the curve on cooking, cleaning, and laundry. His motto was if it needs to be done and if you have the ability just do it. We had eight kids in our family, my dad worked a job then came home and worked the farm. Everyone from the youngest to the oldest had chores. I never heard one of my parents say, that’s a man/womans job. All my brothers know how to do ” women’s work”. And all my sisters know how to do “men’s work”. This was in the 50s.
JAZ: JHK was concentrating on manhood, but I don’t think he was dissing women per se. However, you are absolutely right about the lack of honor among many of today’s men. Look at the armed forces. There are surely many honorable men serving, but their leaders have shown themselves to be cowards and traitors. Men without honor; men without chests, despite their fourteen rows of medals.
I lost a growing relationship with a distant cousin I had come to know, like and admire after some 50+ years of no contact.
He was retired ex-police, ex-USAF, but had alienated practically all of his own immediate family. Testy, grouchy and with similar traits in wife and kids reportedly.
My boo-boo was to insinuate that the Air Force leadership in the Pentagon all seemed to be careerists, lifers, not at all what a soldier should be.
He cut me off, permanently.
Maybe I was wrong? Not by much.
Good advice this morning Jim. Thanks.
I’ll pass it along to my friends in “catholic christian” Austria who are distracted from the advent season by their zeal to vaccinate anyone who doesn’t conform.
I’ll also pass your words along to my vaccinated German friends who since this weekend are wearing a “red arm tag” for Christmas shopping — while unvaccinated are not allowed to enter a shop to buy a warm winter coat.
The Germans still have that “can do” spirit when called to get rid of the people they don’t want around anymore. This is a translated article that says it all about where this vaccine cruelty has gone:

Thanks SW.
Here is the original article link from the Berlin News. It says the homeless can stay in the subway if they test negative, but it doesn’t say what happens if they test positive. Positives must quarantine for 10 days. Which would mean the homeless would quarantine in their subway home, right? It makes no sense but that’s modern day leftist utopian Berlin for you.
We recently did a grocery run for some friends (a family with a young child) who had “tested” positive.
They were not allowed to leave the house, and the local REWE delivery service was overwhelmed.
Had they no friends they could call, they would have had no food.
Mass insanity. There are even people in the US calling for the starvation and torture of vaxx refuseniks. So I don’t think we’re all that far behind you. The difference I think are state’s rights, guns, and a large number of people who laugh at authority.
one must have food on standby.
Last winter it snowed a bit in Toledo. (in Spain)
Made the ‘casco antiguo’ into an island state.
It’s on a hilltop surrounded on three sides by river.
My ex informed me that her sister had no food. Like one day after.
Whole thing was likened to the end of the world, but it was all over in a few days.
I still can’t believe that people don’t have the idea yet of how Just in Time inventory works.
I also shop for fresh food, but I could hide out in here for a month too. Well except for dog walking
Hi Night Owl.
Germany is a successful place in part because the people follow rules. The problem is that they follow rules to the extreme and they are proud to do it, even when it means as in your example that a young family might starve. Suppose there were a rule saying that you couldn’t buy food on behalf of an unvaccinated or corona-positive person. How many Germans would follow that rule?
ProudMary,
I think the big difference – attitudinally – between the US and Europe is that for hundreds of years we have siphoned off the self-sufficient, contemptuous-of-authority ne’er-do-wells from Europe and planted them over here, in very fertile soil.
As a long ago Gastarbeiter in Hamburg I respected the honor system subways that my Italian roommate disparaged and flouted. I found certain “rules” amusing like not jay walking or being required to clean the street in front of your house, or having flowers in the window boxes (if your house had them). I appreciated the rule following but note that Germans here in my Southern town appreciate the ability to do what they like with their own land.
I have returned from a nice cycling vacation in France and Germany and do despair over the papers please culture re-emerging. We do not want that here.
If covid was a problem among the homeless, they’d all have been either sick or dead by now.
OK Beryl,
I’ll give you 50 more points towards the epiphany. Your immunized forwards of 30/70 knowledge/hype may just be excused if you keep this up.
Your casual observation that one of the theorized, vulnerable populations [indigents] is missing from any context has seen zero-nada-nil commentary from any “published” articles, TG’s AI-rants, MSM poll-dancing, nor the WHO-CDC cabal almost appears that my previous assignment of you as mere sycophant was poorly applied.
Unless, of course… you are just parroting another commentator on another site, again, without doing any research.
If, indeed, this is a statement that you derived on your own, please slap me upside the head with heated debasement.

Apocalyptic book I read had a quote,
The moment the comet crashed, women’s lib died!
When the current support systems all collapse, female will become submissive again. Households will again require heads of households that are masculine in nature.
dream on.
@JAZ In such a state of crisis a woman becomes very vulnerable. With no “careers” available to them any longer women will resort to the sort of things portrayed in old westerns. Without a man, women were left with very few choices and as much as we (speaking for myself) think that we can do just about anything a man can do, we really can’t. I’m above average in height and very strong, but at 68 years old I would be SOL in a post-apocalyptic scenario without a man’s protection. Also don’t think that at this point in my life I would make a very amenable dance hall girl!
You could be a crazy witch-doctor type, with poultices and herbal remedies, and nobody would bother you. Hell! They’d likely protect you!
Until they burn her at the stake.
I saw a study (didn’t bookmark) which explained why women perform more poorly under stress while men do better.
The area of the brain devoted to decoding facial recognition signals become more active in women and less so in men when stress is applied.
Women want to know what everybody else thinks, men literally care less, they devote more resources to fixing the problem.
It was not news to me.
C’mon, dear farmgal. Don’t do yourself down! I’m sure you could give me a run for my money at arm wrestling! Let’s hope we never get to find out how vulnerable we’ll all be!
@Htw – much as I hate to admit it I totally suck at arm wrestling. I have these long skinny fast-twitch muscle fibers that always let me down. Actually I believe it’s mostly technique but I have never been able to learn. It was a big pastime when I was a kid staying with my midwestern grandparents. Lots of beer, arm wrestling and pinochle!
I consider myself an outdoorsman. I’m well equipped. But i would be SOL also. Save bullet for myself
Women have often historically had to manage without their men. E.g., in “Little Women,” Dad is away because of the Civil War. This was somewhat based on Louisa May Alcott’s early life, where her dad, Bronson Alcott, was a wastrel poser (posing as a philosopher) who did not provide for his family. Louisa May Alcott’s mother got by, by taking in wash.
There have always been widows and orphans, men who were off to war, men who abandoned their families, and men who did not provide for their families–often due to alcoholism.
In one of his books, Nock observes that it is only with great difficulty that men can get along without women, but that women can generally manage quite well without men. Back when I was married, my ex was rarely home. I have often said that this was his best quality.
If you were him, would you have wanted to be around you? He obviously must have realized what a mistake he had made…..
Yo,
Now, I’m not a hall monitor, but that is a nasty comment. Do you actually know Anthea? If that’s how you treat a lady, what kind of base, spaniel fawning, and, frankly, boring female must you be saddled with??
@ JTinMD:
I begin to suspect that Jarek has no women in his life, and probably rarely (if ever) ever has. As I mentioned above, he comes off as possibly an orphan raided in a Cistercian monastery. It’s as if he doesn’t know what a woman is. I’m not sure he knows what regular men are either. Perhaps he does not know anyone at all, besides having no family. Perhaps he used to correspond with Thomas Merton, till the guy died. Never had an aunt whose every utterance was poetry (my aptly named Uncle Virgil could also talk poetry) and another aunt who played the guitar in taverns, or one who ran the family farm. No daughters who discuss the Council of Nicea on Facebook and listen to rosary meditations while milking the goats in the morning.
I sense that he leads a life that is a bit arid and dusty.
@ Jarek:
Looking back on why the ex was never home during the last few years of the marriage, I have come to realize that it was mostly shame–or what passes for shame among the “entitled.” At that time, his business was running what I estimate to be about $10,000/year in the red and his parents were getting impatient with the mooching and poor business decisions. If his dad hadn’t paid the employee withholding taxes, he would probably have gone to jail. The way he dealt with his catastrophic failure was to blame his financial difficulties on the burden of providing for his family. His dad had bought us a house and a car, and took care of the home and car maintenance and taxes, so all he really had to do was buy groceries and pay the utility bills. His strategy on utility bills was to not pay them, so that when something got shut off his dad would take pity on him and take care of it.
Since he blamed me and the kids for his failure, he became abusive. He also decided to comfort himself for his losses by indulging in a number of extravagances: air travel, an antique car, and a side chick. The classic male response to personal and financial setbacks is to become abusive, spend on status items, and acquire a side chick.
Many traditional enemies praised their enemies. Why? Because it made their victories more glorious and their defeats more understandable.
You married him. What does that say about you and your judgment?
Jtin: But her talking shit about men – including the one SHE chose – that’s just par for the course, eh?
You’re coming into focus now…..
Only if you’re a woman libber. How are these balless effeminate men who won’t even stand up for our rights, supposed to take their rightful place as heads of households?
Women will chase after such men when things get bad. You son? Sounds like he is looking for a strong woman, lol.
In case of societal collapse, I suspect a pair-bond is going to be absolutely essential, at the very least. A clan or tribe would be better. A woman, alone with children, is going to be at a severe disadvantage, as we’ve known since we came down from the trees.
Humans don’t do well without sense-making. What makes sense is having a roof over your head, something to eat, some purposeful activities to provide those things, some other people to exist with and care for, and some ceremonies to honor our efforts and declare our gratitude for being here in the first place.
This is Jim’s most important column in quite some time, and much needed.
Thank you.
This passage struck me too. Impactful. Sensible. Hopeful.
“This too shall pass”.
Thank you Jim.

Exactly. A masterpiece!
It’s not the fault of women, nor do I think Mr K is saying so. It is what it is, as they say. Men were in charge, so men corrupted the masculine mystique.
Men folded but I think they were trying hard to be sensitive to a woman’s perspective and be fair. Remember the man who was fired for saying men are better in math than women? He was right but that made no difference. It’s going to be a while (I have no idea how long) before anyone can make that assertion or say only women can have babies without being attacked.
Only women can have babies. Feel free to attack.
Jaz, do me a favour and load duck duck go for searches. Under 5 minutes and no system overload or crashes etc. This will overide the algos put in place awhile ago by giggle and let you see the true science, stats and conclusions.

Uh huh.
They will not get very far without someone to start those babies.
And are you saying that because they are the baby carriers, they should be more concerned about the upbringing of those babies?
If you’re a woman and you are in heat all it takes is a look and the brush of a skirt to get a man up on his feet.

Men are better in math is not really a sensible statement from a mathematical perspective.
If you take the entire category of men versus women, men will come out ahead.
However, there is a larger difference in ability within the category of men than there is between the sexes.
I’ll let all you male math geniuses scratch your heads over that one.
BTW I’ve had more men than women talk down to me with that “your mask protects me and my mask protects you” “science” nuttery.
Do NOT get me started.
There’s no shortage of stupid men or women. And there have been some exceptional women who have excelled in math. My oldest daughter won every math contest so I’m not saying women can’t be good in math.
A statistic that I have found interesting is that over 50% of college enrollment is now female but majoring in math, engineering and science is dropping.
The problem as I see it, is the judgement that is attached to that. B/c the unspoken judgement is a person is innately smarter if he or she is good in those subjects.
Women are discouraged early in math – at least my generation we were. I think that’s the reason for those statistics.
When I was in school, I was pushed to enroll in an ahead of its time technical program at one of our local high schools. The “smart” girls were steered into it, as well as the boys.
My thought at the time was “kill me now”.
The high school I did end up attending had a man as the head of its math department who was equaly supportive of girls in higher math as boys. That was unusual then.
Most schools then had a higher percentage of boys than girls taking the AP match and science courses. At my school it was the reverse.
I think perhaps one reason the enrollment for the STEM courses is dropping has to do with the students figuring out it isn’t the ticket to the good life that the media told them it was.
They were coming out with degrees that weren’t worthless, but much too expensive. The market wants the cheap foreign labor.
BTW SW congratulations to your daughter. My mother should have won every math and science prize going, but her school would not give them to a girl, and they ended up going to boys who were not just beneath her in ability, but far, far beneath her.
Beryl-
STEM tops out quickly, and only if you play the office politics.
If you do those things, work 100+ hours a week, and have talent in your field you might have an above average career.
In the corporate world they are pushing the DIE line very hard, and who wants to deal with that?
@SW
Part of “The Problem” as I see it is that virtually nobody has figured out that the entire public school system and the state college system of the US operate solely to program and cast cogs for the wheels of industry.
That ain’t edjacation, friend.
“It’s all bullshit, folks, and it’s bad for ya.” George Carlin was not so much a comic as he was a preacher of a better story, for which he possibly forfeited a longer life.
However, mathematics [& sciences], language, and [my] philosophy do seem to make sense at a personal and tribal survival level.

That’s why we can’t get to the Moon now but we could in the ’60’s – sexist racism!
I think it is more often the women who have ignored the mask mandates around here. I have never had anyone dare to scold me, other than a store employee.
It’s hard to generalise. I think it’s BRAVE people who don’t wear masks. Some of those brave souls are men; some are women. It seems to be more about character than what’s between our legs.
Oh, and men are better cooks, too! (not)
Pointless blah blah.
Then you don’t understand statistics. There are more male geniuses and more male retards. Women cluster beneath the dome of the Bell Curve. Church! The Democratic Party! It’s easy for them to see the male retards, but much harder for them to see the men who are ahead of them.
Are some women there too? Sure. In math? Oh, very, very few. It’s the rarest kind of genius.
American women encouraged American men to be soft and feminine – now they hate us for it and seek out manly men from among the newcomers.
I write romance novels and I have to read a lot of them. While most of them are really bad, they do give an insight into the secret heart of women. Apparently, in our fantacies, we yearn for strong, alpha-type men, just dripping of testosterone and aggression, who take charge of things, who take charge of us. On the other hand, they want him to be sensitive. My observation of the world is that those things tend not to come in the same package and women have doomed themselves to eternal disappointment.
You write romance novels? I have to share a tweet with you. It’s from a woman named Tiffany Stevenson writing about men the way men write about women.
“He charged into the room, pert testicles bouncing gaily. I saw a scar and wondered if he’d had a vasectomy. He opened his plump lips, full of promise, but annoying words came out…..something about a football match”.
Paula D,
Then why do women flood the romance book market with purchases?
Your over-the-top caricature ‘comparison’ has nothing to do with what women actually enjoy in romance fantasy-lit.
It’s an inconvenient fact for you that women read what were formerly known as bodice-rippers with obsessive, unrelenting passion.
draupnir is dead on the mark.
By the way, over 80% of romance novels are written by women for women, so you’ve made another incorrect assumption.
You write romance novels? We need to collaborate.
Meanwhile, ladies, waiting for that sensitive man saturated with testosterone? And I’ve got Jif, organic, extra crunchy! And no bread…
As it happens, Soul F, I like a man with a sense of humor on top of it all. Looks like you’re in deficit. Hope the ladies around you don’t care about that.
Paula, the sort of thing you’re referring to is men’s porn, and I’ve read some of that too. According to one of my male beta readers, men are more visual than women, and not particularly interested in foreplay. In their fantasies it’s stick it in and get down to business. On the whole, women don’t care about a perky set of balls and wouldn’t particularly notice them, beyond registering their existance, unless they were slapping them in the face.
Right. I just thought you’d get a kick out of it.
I thought it was funny.
@SW – yes they folded but I think in a lot of cases it was not their sensitivity but taking the easy way out by not having to be harangued by some nagging bitch, more’s the pity.
@ farmgal — I imagine every case has its own compromises,. The happy marriages I’ve seen have sane people in both roles and are able to value each other’s contribution.
There’s a certain amount of tasks that have to be accomplished, day in and day out, for a family to run and kids to be raised. If a husband considers his role to be the most important, it will cause resentment in the wife and feelings that they’re not partners in life but more like the hired help. And I’ve seen wives treat their husbands like their only use was to deliver a paycheck and play a minor role in the family.
Nothing easy about this balancing act and both sexes have valid complaints about the other.
Just watch AOC and her band of four. Look at many of the females in DC as they jockey for power. The model they have created has been Reflected through society.
Star Trek had an episode where Kirk was split into two Kirks, one hard masculine without gentility, the other soft, feminine without resolve. Neither one could function correctly. The moral was individuals and society need both aspects for success, too much of one or the other destroys societies.
We are on a Leftist, soft swing, what will happen when we snap back, if we snap back.
It is funny to see how people exercise their brains to maintain stereotypes.
Islander: isn’t what you just said a stereotype too?
No.
Women give birth to babies. Men give birth to men. Get boys away from the female teachers that are ruining them. A few may be alright, but the majority and the millieu must be male. Correctly formed and polarized in grammar and high school, the sexes can then enjoy each others company in higher education. Of course this is only for the small minority that deserves such a thing or can benefit from it. The rest will be working or in apprenticeships or trade schools.
Fathers, Jarek, Fathers!
Remember you Capitalist work ethic: he’s fucking exhausted and needs help with the endeavor. And he doesn’t see his kids much anway. But hey, if we go all the way back, they’ll be no schools OR jobs, and they’ll be working together on the farm. In that case, it’s his job completely.
For one school year I got to experience having the boys and girls divided into separate classes. This greatly improves the learning environment–especially for boys. ln all-male classes, the boys get super competitive academically. Scrabble was practically a blood sport.
All-girl classes are more relaxed an intimate.
I don’t know how things work with all-girl schools and all-boys schools in higher ed.
I don’t know how things work with all-girl schools and all-boys schools in higher ed.
Australian studies seem to show that girls do better in all-girl high schools, of which we have plenty (State, Catholic, and Independent), whereas boys do better in co-ed high schools.
Boys-only high schools tend to breed jocks, and too much emphasis on sport – but it’s easy to over-generalise too much.
Far fewer K-6 (primary) schools are single sex, but a few are.
War is hell. The dogs of war. The fog of war. The horror.

Medieval Christmas used to be a two week period of feasting, plays, dancing, music and just generally enjoying life. Gift giving was a part of it but the celebration was the main thing. Maybe in the Great Reset it will be back since that will be all anyone can have — making their own fun.
My Dad grew up during the Depression and told me the Polish community would have a large dinner with music and dancing, go to midnight mass and then continue the next day with visits between neighbors. There were no presents since no one had any money but there was a real community spirit.
My wife and I mutually chose to not exchange gifts this year, but instead to use the money to pay down/pay off our debts. No man ever had a better wife than I have.
And it will be one of your happiest Christmas’ ever!
@Lone
Thanks for that short belly laugh.
You chose to not exchange Christmas gifts.?.
Well, better 50 years late than never, we say in these parts.
~toktomi~
So agree. For me, it’s always been about getting together with friends and family, not for gifts or the material aspect of things. My dad was not a materialistic person and I think I get that from him.
Same here.
I am Grandma and the little ones are coming home from Maui Thursday after a month. I have my living North Carolina pine decorated and there’ll be cookies in the jar and the Play Doh is awaiting.

” I have my living North Carolina pine decorated…”
Do you have a place picked out to plant it?
Are people acting stupid because of panic, or are they just plain stupid. I’m leaning towards the latter, never heard of anyone panicking for 2 years straight. Must be wearing after so long, one would think. Proof in point. Everyone I’ve talked to lately thinks we live in a democracy. I rest my case. I never could figure out why we were spreading democracy worldwide when we live in a republic. A constitunal republic based on the rule of law. Which is also based on individual rights. What a fucking howl.
There will be a lot of misery between now and when this supposed light will come, and I would like to believe that I am prepared for said misery before I start putting too much stock in unicorns and rainbow farts.
The great culling is upon us, and sadly, the majority doesn’t have a clue. Here in the US, they can’t force people into concentration camps, they don’t have to. Oh look! a free iPod, and all I have to do is take a nice ride on this boxcar….
Do they still make iPods?
I think it is the latter. These last two years have shown me that the general population is comprised of far more idiots than I ever could have imagined, and many of them appear to possess multiple academic degrees.
I realize intelligence is compartmentalized, ofc, but for many, the compartment that contains the ability to discern when one is being hoodwinked is either somewhat lacking or non-existent.
Stupidity begets stupidity. Each generations teachers are stupider than the last.
That was a surprise to me as well, Night Owl. I could not believe it, the way people I know have at least as much education in The Science! as I do, would calmly recite bumper sticker slogan as if they passed for knowledge.
What is really shocking is the utter innumeracy that seems to exist, even among people with multiple academic degrees.
Apparently basic statistics and calculus are have not been requirements to graduate for many, many years.
Many of the over-educated have to put letters after their names (Ph.D., M.Sc., B.Sc. [Hons.], etc.) because if they didn’t, and you simply judged them by their words and actions, you’d never know what geniuses they are.

An interesting question
When the USA goes economically, where are all the refugees that just spent Soros money to get here, going to go next?

Amusing to note, TCL, recent reports of mass emigration of migrants out of Finland. The cold people and the colder climate seem to have gotten to them.
“HELSINKI (Reuters) – Thousands of Iraqi refugees who arrived in Finland last year have decided to cancel their asylum applications and to return home voluntarily, citing family issues and disappointment with life in the frosty Nordic country.
““Some say the conditions in Finland and the lengthy asylum process did not meet their expectations, or what they had been told by the people they paid for their travel,” said Tobias van Treeck, program officer at the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
“TOO COLD”
“Echoing that comment, travel agent Hassan said: ‘Some say they don’t like the food here, it’s too cold or they don’t feel welcome in Finland. There are many reasons.’
“Nearly 80 percent of the migrants returning home are Iraqis. Just 22 of the 877 Syrians – whose country is racked by civil war – and 35 of the 5,214 Afghans who sought asylum in Finland last year have asked to return to their home country.
“Along with other Nordic states, Finland has recently tightened its immigration policies, for example requiring working-age asylum seekers to do some unpaid work.
“Hostility to migrants has also increased in Finland, a country with little experience of mass immigration and which now has economic problems.”
How can you have much compassion for such creatures when you consider the thousands of dollars the snakeheads scalp them for to sail them across seas and smuggle them across unfriendly borders? Rich Syrians, Iraqis, Nigerians, and on and on? We’re not talking destitute, because destitute will get no free ride from the people-smugglers.

Thanks, really nice read. All of that is or has already happened. No gray champion yet. I believe it will be an event, the wrong person gets murdered by the govt. and there is no covering it up (Greece w/ the killing of the kid a few years ago) and boom, the place blows up. Hence the misery. Who ever steps up then will determine if we have another enlightenment or another dark ages.
Yep. There will be THAT one guy who heckles Ceausescu. That’s all it takes. Then a few more join in. And in four days the whole 60 year old edifice is a pile of dust. There are plenty of little sparks at the moment. Maybe they’ll join in a giant conflagration. I also believe the psychopaths will hit us with another Black Swan to keep the fear going.
Poor old Ceau?escu. Didn’t have a very happy surprise Christmas party, did he now? Ho ho ho.
Merry Christmas, rat-a-tat-tat.
(Now against such unsolicited merriment there is my dead pal E.A. Lacey, who supported Ceau?escu on the basis of his firmly avoiding any foreign debt whatsoever. Kept the international bankers’ talons off his country. Interesting.)

I had to read this sickening puff piece on AOC to find the example I was looking for:
https://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/a25844313/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-boyfriend-riley-roberts/
As it turns out, it’s worse than I thought. I was going to talk about how Alexandria went whining to the Big (White) Daddy Donald J. Trump when she for some reason couldn’t get her grandmother’s roof fixed.
I had thought, what the heck is wrong with her boyfriend, the one she likes to pretend doesn’t even exist? He couldn’t do anything for her grandmother?
This is what I found out he allegedly does for a living:
“According to LinkedIn, Roberts is head of marketing at HomeBinder.com, which helps people manage the maintenance on their homes.”
Trump then offered to help her grandmother and the wretched wench indignantly refused, preferring her grandmother to suffer – assuming there is any reality to any of this.
AOC was widely applauded by Marxists for standing on the principle of not accepting help from non-Marxists.
Tucker pointed out that she herself was doing alright financially and could probably help if she wanted to.
Bet those commies were bummed when Stalin gobbled up all that yummy lend-lease from the capitalist USSA. By the way, what did the USSR “lease” to us after we “loaned” all those trucks and planes to them?
How is it that her prop boyfriend had no contacts at all who knew how to get a roof on a house?
I’m just trying to wrap my head around it, if indeed as you say any of this is true.
Your girlfriend, whom you live with, has a grandmother who suffered damage to her home from a hurricane some time ago. She, who in government herself, starts yelling publicly about the former administration not having helped her relative, all the while you’ve been aware of this?
It never occurred to him that maybe he should get off his rump and help? Where is his pride?
“Where is his pride?” “Pride” may be the key word there. Give the kid a break. A boy can’t properly roof a house if he hasn’t done his hair, put on his make-up and squeezed into his 7-inch heels yet.
AOC is a “Justice Democrat”, who auditioned for the part with Cenk Uygur. She’s a plant, an actor, an agents provacateur, if you will. Her job is to distract and sell the wokie agendas of the day.
Disgusting empty shell of a ghoul.
Yup.
There are multiple videos that break down her recruitment, casting call, audition, and election.
Heck, some of the vids even reveal her string pullers.
She’s like Greta Thunberg: a MSM creation posing as a person of substance.
Apt comparison: Fake, fake, fake, fake.
Greta has an excuse — she’s a kid who’s been horribly manipulated and scared to death about impending doom. Brainwashing children at its finest.
AOC is an opportunist with excellent political instincts (she knows whose ass to kiss, how frequently and with the correct amount of enthusiasm) who may or may not go far. Pictures of her in a dress with a slogan painted on her butt and no mask but all the “servers” maskless, may not play so well in a borough of NY as Pelosi’s hypocrisy does in California. She also was responsible for nixing an Amazon fulfillment center from locating there.
Honestly, I’m very torn between keeping a low profile (aka waiting for the Dark Flood to subside) and letting loose right out in public. I know the former is likely the better choice, but my conscience is more annoying by the day now. My masculinity is crying out for action, and Mr K is making it harder to resist!
But, then again… ?
you can do both maybe. keep a low profile but when a situation arises that you believe needs addressed, then exercise your 1st amendment or do whatever you gotta do.
Yes, this is sage advice.
Yes, remember the young Norwegian man who didn’t like Muslims making time with his female classmates. He dressed up like Darth Sith but with a samurai sword instead of a light saber. He got the one he really hated.
The best thing you can do is resist and you can do that peacefully and be a great example to others. No mask, ever. No social distancing, no testing, no jab.
I’ve had 2 Kens hassle me for not wearing a mask. The first one I told him to go fuck himself and he went apopaclytic or whatever its called, and I just stood there waiting for him to put hands on me but he didn’t so I went on my merry way. Still a scene I didn’t want to repeat anytime soon. When Ken number two got on me a couple months later, I just pointed and screamed “RACIST” pretty loud and I never seen anyone shut up so fast in my life.
Barbie?
Too busy milking her virtual Kens on OnlyFans.
Step – Just say NO. It jams up their mental processes because now the ball is in their court.
Tell them you have C.S. and cannot wear a mask.
They will walk away.
I usually say, “I don’t play that.”

So, is masking a LEGAL mandate that applies to individuals?

The problem is, at a point when men do take over again, it might involve a lot of violence and instability before things reach an equilibrium.

The completely developed person has developed both masculine and feminine traits. In men, the anima. In women, the animus as per Jungian terminology. In our sick society, kids are being encouraged to develop their opposite side before they develop their main or outer nature – the sex that they are actually are. Thus having endless female teachers helps boys to become faggots. It’s really that simple. Not that the women intend this – but people at the higher levels? You get that they do. And again, not just the female teachers but the whole feminized ethos that they are a part of. Now girls are being encouraged to be masculine or to put their animus or inner male before their femininity – as if to take the place of the boys? In any case, all planned from the Capstone.
@Jarek – human nature is a funny thing. I encouraged my firstborn (daughter) to be independent from the get go. We lived on a hobby farm and she always had chores. I’m blessed that she developed into the self-confident woman I always hoped she would (without being a Karen).
Number two (son) I coddled from the beginning. His father was an asshole and very hard on the poor kid. I always took up for the boy and made excuses. Why women do this is beyond me. But the story has a happy ending – father passed away, son went off to get an engineering degree and became a good man and father. I think the endless coddling of boys is terrible. Let’s give then credit that they can actually do stuff and accomplish things. My husband’s a fan of Buffalo Bill Cody and he is always regaling me with stories of what Bill did at a very young age. Most people would not allow a 12 year old to use a weed eater but after a couple of times of getting smacked with rocks and sticks I’ll bet he would bet the hang of it if we would only let him try.
You didn’t like your husband obviously, and starting turning your son into a girl. Glad he pulled thru and that you didn’t push it harder.

I watched this exchange between Matthew B Crawford (Shopclass as Soulcraft; Why We Drive) and Freddie Sayers of UnHerd.

Switzerland legalizes Sarco, the suicide machine.
Malthuss: The Swiss have a very big thing about euthanasia. It makes one think: this is one of the richest, safest and most sheltered nations on Earth. It hasn’t fought a war in 500 years; it hasn’t suffered a major economic downturn in 70 years. Yet more and more Swiss want to off themselves. There’s a moral there somewhere.
It’s only been happening for the past 60 years.
I wonder what major change happened in Switzerland in about 1960?
why would ‘they’ end a plandemic?
I don’t see this as a male versus female thing at all. There’s just a paucity of leadership at this moment in western Civ and that void is being filled by punitive nannies, drugs and superhero fantasies. All these tattooed man-child types need some kind of direction in their life.
I agree. Societal contracts have broken down, and anything goes.
This was engineered by our owner class. It has nothing to do with female/male anything.
The trans agenda was engineered. Women’s lib was engineered. Everything that is happening now is exactly as the PTB want it. Plenty of evidence out there.
For starters, Gloria Steinem was a CIA asset, FFS.
Even back in the day, when I was clueless (well, more clueless than now) about cultural issues, I could never understand why the feminists demonized stay at home moms. I had no problem with women’s right to enter the labor force and equal pay etc…… but why did they have to disparage the women who were happy to stay at home and raise the kids properly.
My wife and I were lucky to actually be able to do that. I worked the entire time and while she mostly didn’t, but she was always in the children’s classrooms, PTA, then the school board, soccer mom and generally really involved with the kid’s lives. We were able to eat less corporate food and she was fine with not working some useless shitty job. Importantly, the kids turned out well-adjusted, high functioning and unvaxxed.
Then you are blind.
Women only got our way in society when men allowed it.
From a recent article at Unherd.com by Jessa Crispin
https://unherd.com/2021/12/why-the-right-is-obsessed-with-masculinity/
“According to Hawley, bad things are happening to men because bad things have happened to masculinity. “Can we be surprised that after years of being told they are the problem, that their manhood is the problem, more and more men are withdrawing into the enclave of idleness, and pornography, and video games?”
And her summation:
“Men should be allowed to set aside the burden of ruling the world, for the sake of everyone. Instead of fixating on turning men back into some patriarchal stereotype, the Right should be helping them get jobs and quit drugs. When I think of the limited or derailed lives of the men I was raised with, I don’t just want them to regress into the structures and lifestyles that drove their fathers and grandfathers to drink, or hit their kids, or work so much they were never around. I want something better for them.”
Nonsense, or food for thought?
Nonsense with a few grains of truth. Capitalist exploitation drove men crazy. Or if able to climb the ladder, they exhausted themselves trying to please the Alpha female they were able to snag and who then kept pressuring him to get and be “more”.
She sounds like a unisex type. Men and women are exactly the same except for genitalia, etc.
Plenty of macho men were idle during the Great Depression. There were camps full of dangerous, violent hoboes and bums.
If a man withdraws into games because somebody said not-nice words about him, he wasn’t that much of a man to begin with.
Not having read the article yet, I can see from her summary that she has some good points, and they aren’t based on hating men.
Live with contempt then? And not being able to leave because Feminists control the divorce courts? Thus the Sword is always over his head.
The complete lack of sympathy for men – and thus understanding since people can’t be bothered to listen – is simply mind blowing.
New York is no-fault. I do not understand what you are on about.
He doesn’t yet get that our society is engineered from the top down, every aspect of it. He instead likes to blame the people without the real power.
Did “Women are life. Men are death” come down from top too? If so, they certainly had her number because she and her cronies loved that one.
“If a man withdraws into games because somebody said not-nice words about him, he wasn’t that much of a man to begin with.”
There is that issue of surging testosterone (we hope it is still surging!!) in young men, to be channeled by society productively, or unproductively.
Men with high T stare at women. They don’t mind their own business at all, in regards to women or other men. They want to do unspeakable things to women’s bodies. You hate men like that, remember?
From Ayaan Hirsi Ali, at Unherd
https://unherd.com/2021/12/will-california-ever-be-safe-again/
“What makes this affluence particularly damaging is the fact that the rich are the furthest removed from the consequences of their negligence. In California, those with enormous wealth are often also the loudest advocates for leniency towards criminals. Those individuals, who have the least contact with crime, are frequently the most enthusiastic proponents of reforms that reduce the safety of the average American. Democratic donors give their money to candidates who support defunding the police. They campaign against stop-and-search, three strikes, and “broken window” policies. They argue for lighter sentences or even the decriminalisation of certain crimes — shoplifting, for example, has been all but legalised in San Francisco.”
She’s spot on. Nailed it.
People with skin in the game v people who don’t have to suffer the consequences of their stupid ideas. Same as it ever was.
Part of the problem is that some people still believe that these reforms are for the sake of the lower classes, when the globalists find it easier to install their commie agenda when the people have been cowed by all the dangerous criminals roaming the streets.
If you steal one purse from Nordstroms worth $1000 you can be arrested. If you steal a stack of clothes from a display in an independently owned store worth $600 and do it again several days in a row (or your buddy does it) that store can go out of business. Here’s a really good take on this stupid law that says it much better than I could:

JT,
Hirsi Ali is correct in her observations. She’s that rare bird, an independent and brave intellectual.
She had a difficult childhood in Africa, but shifted for herself to escape. She sees the slavery inherent in any authoritarian system, and her intellect stops her from unseeing it, like so many big gummint “experts” do. They sell their souls for a safe place in the borg.
It is better to die living in service to the TRUTH, enlightenment, and protection of humanity, one’s immediate loved ones and locality, than to live kneeling AND dying in servitude to the Globalist-Oligarch-Eugenicists (GOE) and their DECEPTIVE fascist purchased sycophants.
These are the U.S. “percolating variables” AT or EXCEEDED critical point, under the law of self-organized criticality:
Borders – Unsecured
Civil Unrest
Consumer – Credit
Crime – Urban
Earthquakes
Education
Electric Grid-Eastern
Electric Grid-Texas
Electric Grid-Western
Floods
Food Availability
Healthcare System
Homelessness
Hurricanes
Hydrocarbon Transports
Hydrocarbons – Production
Inflation
Interstate Highway System – Urban Centers
Market – Debt
Market – Housing
Market- Credit
Market- Equity
Military Rank and File Defection
Pandemic
Political Gridlock
Potable Water – Urban
Poverty
Public – Debt
Public – Emergency Services
Qualified Labor – Professional Services
Qualified Labor – Trade
Student Load – Debt
Supply Chain – Critical Infrastructure Material
Supply Chain – Non-Critical Infrastructure Material
Telecommunications
Terrorism
Unvetted Immigration
War-Civil
War-Worldwide
Wastewater Treatment – Urban
Western Drought
Western Food Production
Western Shipping Container Cargo Ports
Western Water Reservoirs/Reserves
Western Wildfires
We remain is DEFCON-1, as when variables exceed critical point, collapse is the result, within that realm.
The rolling waves of collapse are underway, across multiple realms, and not being disclosed by those employed in the service of public health and safety.
Here is an effective introduction to the law of self-organized criticality, as it pertains to California wildfires:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S83u_y3ZRYg&t=0s
The recent cataclysmic destruction produced by the December 11, 2021 multi-state tornado outbreak, is an example of self-organized criticality, in the natural.
The recent failure of multiple nodes across the Amazon Web Services network is another recent example of self-organized criticality, and the resultant collapse when critical point is exceeded.
In the civil-social realm, the GOE’s purchased sycophants, rather than setting public-private policy to reduce the percolation of variables and lower the risk to humanity, have intentionally enacted public-private policies to exacerbate the percolation, with the goal of exceeding critical point, and inducing waves of collapse.
This allows the GOE’s to “rush in” as saviors of the balance of humanity, with their intended fascist-totalitarian state.
The MANY are being deceived; the FEW are standing for TRUTH and taking action to protect loved ones from disaster.
This is what noble MEN and WOMEN do.
This is what the GOE’s do, through their purchased sycophants:

Thanks, GT.
Gloria Steinem: Women can have babies. Men can’t. That’s the only difference. Women can do everything men can do while they’re having babies.
What about being a mother, Gloria? How does that fit into the careerism? Or is that outsourced to underpaid, minority labor?
Gloria when asked about weakness of female firefighters and not being able to carry people: They can drag them along the floor. You know, down where it’s cool.
Simone De Beauvoir: Women can not be allowed to stay home and be mothers. That’s self indulgence.
Gloria has been quiet while watching one of her greatest achievements, the parity in athletic opportunities for girls and boys, get trashed by the male supremacist trans agenda.
Karma, bitches. They did everything they could to break down men’s culture and invade men’s spaces.
To be clear: I’m against this and for the right of women to have their own sports. But I have no sympathy for the radical feminists who helped to bring this on.
Which radical feminists did that? The LBQYBLT movement is seaparate and distinct from feminism. In fact there is a lesbian feminist movement against it.
Schoolgirls didn’t bring this on themselves, men like Caitlyn Jenner did it.
Disagree completely. Radical Feminists demanded Lesbianism, or at least an attempt at it – guilt tripping heterosexual girls with the taunt of “sleeping with the enemy”. You know very little about this it seems.
The alphabet movement grew out of the Gay/Lesbian movement.
Gotta lurve Jarek below claiming you don’t know feminism.
Go, Bro!
He doesn’t get that Gloria was/is a CIA asset, he doesn’t get the social engineering. Women only got a slice of something resembling freedom because it was helpful to the agenda.
“Freedom” meant the “right” to be a wage slave for life, just like the men.
Screw the kids. Put ’em in daycare and get back to work!
Gloria had very poor self esteem. She was relentlessly compensating for that.
JHK’s writing today is articulate as usual, but excessively optimistic for my world view. IMO, We are in for one hell of a transition to a more peaceful ‘world made by hand’ over the next several decades; a transition characterized by race war, political war, civil war, and very likely world war involving russia and china (just look at what’s happening right now on the Ukrainian border, and NATO neocons are itching for a fight with the bear). I expect that many of the population centers (e.g. NY, Chicago, LA, etc) will be obliterated by WWIII, and the grid will be gone X for a few small areas with solar capabilities. Many of the younger among us now will leave for South America and Asia, as per the Deagel.com reports, leaving a bunch of old people to pick up the pieces and try to rebuild (if one can find a non radiated patch of land for a community rebuild).
Note to self and others: stock up on Geiger Counters and components.
Hard to forecast the exact details of course, but you’re right in that this 4th turning has a ways to go. The calm after the storm is likely quite a ways off. If global shortages of natural gas don’t somehow magically replenish, there will be an immediate inability to reduce nitrogen to ammonia for fertilizer, thus leading to lower food production. One can imagine the political, cultural and economic disarray this will precipitate. Population will likely be much lower about 10 years from now.
@neurodoc
“excessively optimistic”
Ya, well, if James was publishing pure “truth”, he wouldn’t be here.
I can’t find a logical story that ends in a world made by hand. The only story that I’ve ever found to hold much water is the one where the global ruling elite occupy large industrial enclaves supported at large by a small impoverished support staff [at least for growing food and perhaps, to maintain a fractional distribution infrastructure] and in the most optimistic scenario, there exists some few scattered clusters of hunter/gatherers mostly simply dying slowly.
The world made by hand story is merely, to my way of thinking, a variation of the little house on the prairie illusion. The world made by hand is a fantasy of a time from the infancy of industrial society. The requisite energy inputs for that life will not be provided. Industrial society of any flavor or degree is an energy welfare system that cannot be sustained.
I could be wrong.

Perhaps Station Eleven, if not WMBH?
You sound like you may be even more pessimistic than I am with what appears to be a ‘hunger games’ scenario (far worse for normal people than WMBH).
Regardless, some think that the civil war is already here. Currently 12 major dem run US cities are reporting all time record murders.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/12/08/abc-news-shows-murder-surging-12-cities-doesnt-acknowledge-democrat-controlled/
This could be the initial emergence of CWII, esp when the blue courts let the criminals go and the tax paying people decide to take justice into their own hands.
May we all live in interesting times.
It enters official CWII after the homicidal smash and grabbers exhaust city and surrounding deep purple luxury merchandise, and head for deep red country.
It won’t last long.
The balance of perpetrators are subsequently returned to their habitats, as FEMA containment walls are constructed under Build Back Better.
…..a veritable 2022 version of “Escape from New York” across 12 cities.
I recently watched 1973’s Soylent Green. It takes place in New York City in 2022.
Chuck Heston, sure, but how about the performance by Edward G. Robinson as Saul?
I still love cinema from that sweet era of Hollywood 1967-77 – before the Blockbuster changed the whole business model.
Who could forget Heston in the legendary “Planet of the Apes” and “Omega Man”!
Very well written essay today Mr. James, particularly the paragraph on the cyclical nature of light and dark. Beautiful.
I think the celestial bureaucracy, i.e. God, has much to reveal to our narrow, limited lives & minds. We need to be more accepting of worthwhile meaning behind those revelations.
I also don’t think or believe that societies of techno-narcissism & materialism will be in the future for humanity. Those ultimately are dead ends.
Pete,
“I also don’t think or believe that societies of techno-narcissism & materialism will be in the future for humanity. Those ultimately are dead ends.”
They are. But optimism is moderated by the suspicion that we will have to drink that bitter cup to the dregs before coming back to our senses. Like an addict coming to himself after a long bender. “What have I done? What was I thinking?”
Techno narcissism and materialism are the heroin of our times.
> There will be fewer of us.
> but we’ll [be] back
Right!

I’m in central WV and recommend the state to those who are strong, independent, and bring their own community.
Charleston is fairly sophisticated, also fairly Blue. The mountains — everywhere else — are beautiful and green, and politically Red.
Areas are pretty isolated from each other and small towns meet basic needs. Little college cities like Buckannon or Glenville have pockets of culture. Otherwise you’re on your own. Very little running out for a bite of dinner or a coffee. The people are earnest but many of them are not too bright and prone to addiction. Like in Nigeria, large women run things in the country while men are kind of shriveled appendages.
Many smart people left for the Coasts and Colorado. My siblings and I came back and keep our own counsel in the country. My brother doesn’t have cell service except through wifi.
If you do a trade well — roofing, plumbing, etc. — you can become financially independent in a couple of years. There is NO viable competition. The cities have lots of doctors, lawyers, and professional engineers. In the country, the motto seems to be “In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.”
It’s a very live-and-let-live environment with low housing and land costs. Material goods are whatever you create or travel to purchase. Walmart and Amazon and Tractor Supply are available to provide the rest.
Just adding that Greenbrier County, Lewisburg, is kind of Jackson Hole-ish. A rustic wealthy enclave near outdoor recreation. If you have some cash to invest and want genteel country living, you’ll find it there. Something for everyone in WV, and we’re isolated and feisty enough to keep it, I believe.
Isn’t West Virginia the state Anthony Bourdain visited, and then he realized his preconceptions about Trump supporter types with guns were wrong?
He killed himself not too long afterward, IIRC.
Hadn’t known that! My sibs and I were big Bourdain fans. Hope the trip didn’t contribute to his demise.
The Take me home State.
Yep. Country Roads abounding.
Make sure you avoid that Beckley Travel Center! Tourist trap city. An ideal location might be South Padre Island, TX.
Sorry, but this man has already gone his own way. You will have to ride this tsunami without me. I was shamed for starting and struggling to build my own business. Taken to the cleaners in divorce court. Had my children ripped from me. Had my favorite entertainment vandalized. Told I had to work because I was essential during a pandemic, only to be shamed for not injecting poison into my body.
Maybe I’ll help rebuild, but I might also just shoot you if you come on my property.
You sound like you might be a neighbor of mine. Ha!
Wow. These two sentences apply precisely to my own story.
“I was shamed for starting and struggling to build my own business. Taken to the cleaners in divorce court.”
Fuck ‘em all!
O.G. and you should hit it off.
I know your pain, Good sir.
When I get so frustrated at the blatant and even sadistic corruption of this Evil World that I want to punch a wall, I take refuge in the knowledge that God forges His Best in the hottest of fires.
Wear your crown of thorns with Pride. Remain True to our Father and know that Satan’s time is short.
God has blessed you. You have suffered for being Right. This realm is fleeting. You will be rewarded.
Thank you. Your words are a source of comfort and solace in these dark times.
I still fantasize about making voodoo dolls of Gates and Fauci and Soros and casting them into hot oil, though.
“Let’s act as if it’s not, at least.” (The end of us, that is.)
I have to agree with that statement. While I think this probably is the end of us, and that we the people have no chance against our oppressors, I still plan for and work toward the future. Actually, several possible futures: near, mid, and long-term. Saving for a sailboat to begin my new life as a pirate, but still planting trees and bushes just in case.
Hey I might like to join you on your pirate adventure, BB. Maybe as your navigator, as I graduated from Navy QM A & C School. What’s the job pay, or do we just split the loot from the ships that we capture? Either way is good with me.
No pay ‘Row, this is gonna be a hunter-gatherer-raider existence. Know how to rig a line for dolphin (the fish, not the mammal)?
They used to call that going a-Viking. Bon voyage!
I call it rediscovering to my roots.
Where’s that edit button?
What happened to your plan to go looting in CA? That might pay for your boat.
I believe Jim is channeling Jordan Peterson, who has long stated the need for men to be responsible, and to stand up and act like men while the world is spiraling out of control.
Yeah, but first… Clean your room!
Jordan took the jab. Fine words are one thing; actions are another.
He was whining on Twitter again that he’s double-jabbed, got a booster and tested negative and still being given shit when he travels in Canada.
Some people just refuse to get it.
JP is a bull shit artist. Has he ever warned young canuks about their gov, the hate speech laws there, the invasion.
He is disgusting.
He has, malt.
I’ve come full circle on him. I thought him irritating then brilliant then tedious. He is, of course, all three.
Canada’s ridiculous “hate-speech” laws are what propelled Jordan Peterson into the public consciousness. As a fellow student of Jung, I like him, but he does seem to have serious blindspots – as most well-known people do… Dig far enough in one area, and you tend to lose sight of the others. Well, nobody’s perfect.
It is easier to speak about historical misdeeds with impunity than than it is to speak truth to power in the current climate. From what little I’ve listened to him, I thought maybe his Overton window is a bit shrunken based upon current considerations.
Peterson reminds me of Ron Smith, the Voice of Reason in these parts for many years. Only Peterson’s more credentialed (big deal).
Big point in Peterson’s favor — he’s the anti Sam Harris, that supercilious windbag!
JP first came to note precisely because of the speech issue in Canada: the proximate cause was people’s creation of pronouns that were then mandated.
I liked his 12 rules stuff. Greatly admired his deconstruction of the Genesis stories then it all went a bit odd.
I suspect drugs and not self administered.
Not check on him for the past year or so.
@ bile jones
i have followed Jordan Peterson for quite a while.
Been on his JBDaily.org for a long while.
25 of us left or so after this much time has elapsed.
He hit the “wall of fame; so many famous people go through.
The very ideas he is talking about, overwhelmed him is what I believe.
God is hunting him.
There lots of great folks to listen to and Paul Kingsnorth is one from Jordan. I use Peterson as a resource now instead of a “voice in the wilderness”!.
This forum is like that for me also. I love the talent and offerings of all of you. There are some favorites, and Teekopoo has been quite entertaining. As you all well know.
Proton,Mary,Oc,BRH these are the standouts that come to mind.
But I love Kunstler he is an inspiration for me.
Rbanjo
Great comments today
Mr. K, thanks for this message which is one of your better ones. While it is somewhat optimistic you have no problem stating that things are what they are and we must persevere. I’m a huge fan of your WMBH series but I think many of your readers don’t understand that when writing in a genre such as this a writer much chose between an “apocalyptic” theme or “post-apocalyptic” theme. One cannot easily cover the scope of both without it being thousands of pages.
In the original WMBH we have no way of knowing the calamities and catastrophes that people endured before we are introduced to Robert Earle and his quaint little village. We only know of his personal trials and a general outline of recent human troubles.
I recently finished a “post apocalyptic” novel that sort of follows the same pattern. You are introduced to the main character at a point in time where they/their family have already endured collapse. In my case, the main character was a child when the dramatic events occurred so they have no frame of reference. Life has always been hard and will always be so. But in order to have included all of the events, wars, and death that led up to those hard times would have been prohibitive.
I’m very wordy today but I do so enjoy your writing and hope you keep it up for a very long time.
I’m with you, farmgal, for wishing Mr K had given us more info. Not criticizing, just wishing. And I would also love to read one centered on Steven Bullock and his domination of the Union Grove community. Oh, well… Maybe he’ll do it, or maybe it’s time for some well written fan fiction.
My wife asked if I’d go to the store, pick up ingredients so she could make lasagna. OK, I’ll go. She gave me a list. I needed beer anyway. Then she said “Make sure you get artisan bread”. Artisan bread? So when I got to the market I looked at all the breads on the shelf and found a loaf that actually said ‘Artisan Bread’. I was pretty proud of finding exactly what she asked for. Got home, she pulled the bread out the the bag and said “This is the wrong bread, I said Artesian Bread.”
Then
The lasagna “I wouldn’t have bought this brand”
The Mozerella “did you check the date on this?”
The Tomato Sauce “THIS IS ON SALE NEXT WEEK, NOT THIS WEEK.”
The parmesan “Why’d you get the large size.”
Finally, a little snark
“I’ll bet you got the beer you wanted.”
Spank her!
Hahahahaha! Lucy and Charlie Brown!
Sarah Silverman and Seth Rogan’s hateful ‘Sante Inc.’ has tanked too, in fact has been cancelled. More good holiday news.
Rogan is blaming White Supremacists on it demise, not that sucked and is full of enmity.
/ They are from that group that you love so.
Also Sarah has a song on utube ‘I Love America’ or something like that.
I assume she is being ironic.
all time low

Watching wokesters consuming wokesters is more tragically entertaining than watching China-Apple Inc. consume slave laboring Uyghurs in their quest to place the planet under their wage-slave dumbed-down control…..
God bless women. They can be total pains but I love ’em.
Hilarious.
I’ve never been a fan of those fancy liquid breads.
It sounds like your wife doesn’t WANT you to do grocery shopping.
If you want someone to do certain chores or projects cheerfully, or even eagerly, you encourage their efforts even if they are imperfect, offer praise and refrain from criticism–or at least keep the negative stuff lighthearted. (“I see you are blazing new trails in cookery.”)
This was always my approach with my kids. Plus I was so thrilled that they wanted to do anything at all to help out that I never considered trying to discourage their efforts in any way at all. This is how you get a 16-year-old daughter who decides to plumb in a new pump. You’ve never told her she sucked at plumbing.
The way you get “fairlure to launch” syndrome in kids is to nitpick, criticize, predict failure, and rub it in if there is some deficiency in their work. (I know whole families like this.) I think the motivation is often control; one or both parents don’t want the kids to be independent. Another motivation is social dominance games, which are contrary to good family life and good human relations in general.
Sounds like your wife wants to reinforce your dependence on her for shopping and food. The message is, “If it weren’t for me, you’d be eating Vienna sausages out of the can.” She is also staking out her domestic “territory”–and also playing the social dominance card.
Another possibility is that your wife was angry with you for something else. Husbands will often make poorly-timed demands on their wives time, such as asking her to have the folks over for dinner when she has a hundred pounds of pears to can. Hence, to save time, she sent you to the store. Why DID she send you to the store, anyway? Why the time crunch? I’m thinking maybe this is the answer to the whole riddle as to why she was feeling pissy. Did you make some commitment to drive out to East Shigotiesville after dinner to visit with your buddy who has an air compressor for sale? So maybe she sent you to the store so she would have time to take a shower after canning a hundred pounds of pears earlier in the day.
There are many possibilities as to what’s really going on here.
May I suggest searching YT for “Belarus migrants”? As you watch the videos, what thoughts immediately spring to mind?
That Poland should provide help and assistance? Or, holy shit, this is what it’s going to look like everywhere when crunch time arrives!
Do you feel an association with the migrants, or reject them as dangerous invaders threatening to tip the boat for everyone?
If the latter, do you now see the position of thinkers? That we are all dangerous useless resource consumers endangering the entire planet?
I keep coming back to this simple truth: global pop stood at approx 1b when all the great reserves were discovered in the early 1900s.
Indonesia (Shell – the reason japan attached Singapore and pearl). Spindletop (Mobil and texaco). Iraq (BP). And then gwahar in 1948 for dessert.
Now we are 8x more people, but probably down to the above 1/8 recoverable. That’s quite a turnaround. But it helps explain everything.
Strip away civilization and were reduced to the eating, fvcking and shitting machines like any other life forms, fighting and killing for the privilege.
mitchell,
of course I agree with your assessment of the situation. Yet cannot accept godlike “thinkers” solutions.
The very concept of a “solution” to the massive degradation all around us is impossible to imagine: there’s no solution. There’s only the possibility of a leap in consciousness towards compassion, frugality, spirituality.
And that leap can only come after a trial by fire. After experiencing the consequences of our behavior to the bitter end. The “thinkers” role may be to hasten the consequences.
The role of all decent human beings is to keep the candle of consciousness flickering by the window, as the night gets darker and darker. Not to cheer the demons doing the dirty work, so there’s less of us, and smarter, when light finally comes around again. That’s how I read Mr K’s excellent essay.
Just a fleeting thought
Perhaps the bible for woke GloboCap is Clarke’s Childhood’s End, wherein they’re the Overlords, and our kids/grandkids are the children who will ascend above and beyond the rest of us under their tender mercies and expert tutelage?
The first question I had was “How are Syrian migrants getting to Belarus?”
This thing smacks of some dipstick CIA smear Russia plot.
I’m 78, too old to learn how to plow a field with a mule, besides, I don’t have a field or a mule. So, I think I’ll stay where I am, in Santa Rosa, an exurb of the SF Bay Area. Will the world end after I end, or vice versa? I don’t know.
The world system will end. The planet will go on, the remnant will rebuild and the Creator will be vindicated.
Right. This is End of Times not End of Planet.
What amazes me is how many people despise Just about everything about these corrupt times yet also dread them ending.
@messianicdruit – yes that! I recently came across the word “remnant” in the Old Testament – yes we will go on!
Mr. Kunstler,
Eight days before the Winter Solstice, darkest day in the northern hemisphere and your eyesight, your vision, is clear. Thank You.
Cheers
Ed H,
indeed! Mr K keeps the old Roman virtues of gravitas, severitas and veritas alive in our times. Clear vision and a sharp wit to boot.
He’s our Marcus Aurelius, in an age of Neros.
“…there has been no place for men these days in the struggle to prevent civilization from drowning. ”
Ours is a society that has lost its will to live. It is exhibiting various forms of self-hatred. Instead of having big dreams and reaching for the stars, we now find ways to drag each other into the mud while reaching for filthy masks and vials of venom to participate in a societal worship of a death cult.
“It was a bad time to be a man standing out among men.”
A self-hating society does not want men who stand out. It wants anti-men who fall to their knees and whimper and beg for someone to wipe away its tears.
“The landscape will not look the same and we will not act like we did before…”
Our World had plenty of problems before the latest nightmarish attempts at a socially engineered suicide. But there was good within that World as well. But many today choose not to see that good but instead to throw the proverbial baby out with the bath water.
Men? Gotta go. Lighter flesh tones? Gotta go. Virtues and morals? Gotta go. Our History? Gotta go. Throw it all out with the bath water. The Great Reset. The Great Regret. The Great All-Wet.
“Christmas, most of us understand, is as much about the world descending into cyclical darkness as it is about the birth of a religious figure who signifies our recognition of the very light that makes darkness visible.”
Christmas is about each of us personally finding our Light amongst the surrounding Darkness. There may not have been a more critical time in all of history to relearn this truth than these days.
“One of your duties as men is to oppose false realities to preserve meaning…”
This is another of the timeless Christmas messages of ‘meaning’. Tossing aside the falsities of Santa Clauses and flying reindeers and all the rest and embracing the fundamental truth of the Divine that cares about us and always seeks relationship with us. A Divine that is not the property of any one religion and that has no need to make itself a ‘thing’ to be walled-in by anyone or anything.
“I promise you, the light is coming.”
The Light is here. Now. Always. We hold it in our hands like a flashlight. All we need to do is throw the switch. All of us. Men… women… boys and girls.
But we need to first keep our heads above the bathwater.
A self-hating society does not want men who stand out. It wants anti-men who fall to their knees and whimper and beg for someone to wipe away its tears.
Sad but True.
Shaman,
excellent comment, as most of what you post. Keep them coming. Good companion pieces to Mr K’s thoughts.
I had lunch with David Rockefeller in 1977. Our non-profit from DC met in his conference room in NYC. I thought my boss and our chairman of the Board, Ted Hesburgh, were much more impressive, vibrant men. But he of course was funding us and listened with humble genuine interest as I discussed development assistance targeting and disparity reduction rate goals for the Year 2000. Our concept of population control was increased pc income for destitute countries. That had been shown to lower BRs and that required some “globalization” of the participation in the international system. By 1980 it seemed a hopeless task to me and I have had a satisfying career in dentistry in a small Alabama town since then.
It might be unpopular to assert that the vaccine was not intended as a population reduction method. I am wary enough to think it could be. But I prefer to consider that an accidental release of a GOF chimeric virus frightened the complicit who pushed the vaccine as a way to recover (and maintain) their scientific cred and they hoped it would be much more successful than it has been. Thus, they are hoping against hope to pull off a major last minute stick save and show the rabbit to the applause of all. And a satisfying twofer: Riches beyond compare and an efficacious “vaccine”. I and almost everyone I know has had the mRNA jab with no consequence. But I will not be getting the booster and have cautioned my close family against it. Why? If we can duck delta for another month we can welcome the less than lethal Omicron, collect our natural immunity, and tell the Vax Pass police to get lost.
It has been clear to me that the vaccine urgency is about instituting a control system, in addition to whatever “benefits” it brings to us old people from disease. We are at 800K deaths here in the USA and I do think our public health leadership should be prosecuted for killing at least 400K of them. I have no idea who knew what when but when I go to my very nice neighborhood pharmacy and ask the young pharmacist what she currently thinks about allowing me to prescribe fluvoxamine, hydro….quine, i….tin she says it is not allowed and I wonder why I paid the Justice Department $795 for a prescription license….. So I am aware of the big holes in the official story.
I would ask for a certain generosity of spirit to all commenters whether they agree with you or see the world differently. We want open eyes and open hearts with steely resolve.
The most basic question you can ask is this:
Do you believe govt is acting in the best interests of public welfare to improve health & longevity that leads to increased population and and consumption?
We know multi generational wealth goes back centuries. We know they control said govt thru finance & media, and also fund think tanks and activist groups which help set international policy.
Do you think the top dogs don’t understand population overshoot, resource depletion and environmental degradation? It beggars belief.
So, as Holmes said, once you eliminate the impossible, you’re left with the improbable as the truth. I hold that the WEF et al have been telling everyone the plain unvarnished truth for decades, so that eliminates the impossible.
The most basic question anyone can ask is what is the Truth and what is the lie.
The most basic question you can currently ask is this:
How can the government be stopped from injecting a known poison into 5 year olds?
If the rules you followed brought you to THIS, what use were the rules? – NO COUNTRY FOR CHILDREN.
Understanding the mosaic of patents secured by one Dr. Anthony S. Fauci is illustrative of the money-grubbing motive behind the man, the willful deceptions proffered, and the central human control system mandated by the Globalist-Oligarch-Eugenicists, through public-private policies issued by decree from their purchased sycophants, disseminated through their mass and social media operations, and enforced through non-elected bureaucracies.

Looking in the rear view mirror just long enough to chart the path forward is BEST.
Time and Energy is BEST spent building out the NEW, not fighting the old, whereby the NEW is defined as those strategic locales where one may most effectively live at the highest levels of consciousness and provide and share maximum freedom, security, and abundance with their loved ones.
Service to freely disseminating TRUTH is a virtue which is reward enough.
The more noble people stand up and freely share the TRUTH, the greater the hope for the survival of a functional civilization anchored by love, joy, gratitude, peace, and synchronicity.
@rocketdoc
with all respect for those drawn to more extreme theories concerning covid, i agree almost completely with the narrative ricketdoc outlines here. and by “agree” i mean “consider it the most likely in probability terms.”
rocket doc, no rickets
Ya, probably. Billy Gates, after being raised by eugenists and then spending a lifetime rolling out operating systems and espousing Global Depopulation, is now spending billions of his net worth corrupting every institution on Earth in efforts to protect the Good name of Dr Anthony Fauci and grow Earth’s population.
Good thinkin’.
Nothing to see here, people in some countries now not allowed to buy groceries because they aren’t vaxxed. Probably just a passing phase.
…..no conspiracy here.
Remarkable.
You should have punched him in the nose while you had the chance.
How is this for a paradox?:
I am both a pacificist yet somehow also pro-Rockefeller nose-punching.
It might be unpopular to assert that the vaccine was not intended as a population reduction method. I am wary enough to think it could be. But I prefer to consider that an accidental release of a GOF chimeric virus frightened the complicit who pushed the vaccine as a way to recover (and maintain) their scientific cred and they hoped it would be much more successful than it has been.
Popular or not – it really is the only rational and credible position to occupy. The alternative range from not feasible to unbelievable:
• deliberate bioweapon release by the US
• deliberate bioweapon release by China
• accidental leak of a deliberate bioweapon
• deliberate leak of GOF enhanced virus
• virus-vaccine as a means of societal control
• virus-vaccine as a means of population reduction
The vilification of Fauci, CDC, and most medical authorities (including city, county, and state health agencies) are spin-offs from the “Covid-19 is a Hoax” suite of conspiracies.
The conspiracists were conspiracists well before 2019 – they eagerly and greedily grabbed on to the inadvertent pandemic to add to the soup mix.
TRUTH is a function of Time, Discovery, and Disclosure.
…..still believe the Warren Commission’s finding on Lee Harvey Oswald as the sole assailant, and the single bullet theory?
Thought so.
Ian Believes that 2 commercial airplanes somehow demolished 3 Manhattan skyscrapers 1 Tuesday.
I shit you not.

Of course I deliberately left out one of the equally likely scenarios … so as not to scare the horses.
To wit, the virus made the leap from bats to humans (via another species?, and propagated in the wet market without any additional help from Dr Fauci, Fort Detrick, or the Wuhan Virology Lab.
Early cases were hugely virulent, and the Chinese medical and emergency outfits – as prone to clusterfuckery and ass-covering as anywhere else – failed to contain it. YMMV.
Anyway … enough on conspiracies and Covid-19.
the virus made the leap from bats to humans (via another species?, and propagated in the wet market without any additional help from Dr Fauci, Fort Detrick, or the Wuhan Virology Lab.
No doubt.
I don’t know whether it’s true or not OG, but nobody has disproved it. It’s possible, but the scenario from RocketDoc – a leak of a US-sponsored GOF virus from the Wuhan Lab is I guess equally plausible.
We all simply don’t know how it happened. Will we ever know?
And Billy Gates is spending billions of dollars corrupting institutions all over Earth to jab billions of people after decades of espousing Global Depop because … ?
You love to compartmentalize but your ridiculous theories need match ALL facts and evidence lest they display what they Truly are: ridiculous.

I can’t see many people in the US surviving the tsunami.
If there are any tribes left in the Amazon, I can see them making it.
Those people on that island near India who are allowed to kill missionaries, they’ll make it.
The Pashtuns of Afghanistan, they’ll make it.
Everyone else? Hard to picture.
I can’t see many people in the US surviving the tsunami.
I think this is overstating things rather a lot. Peak everything and ongoing pollution and climate change will force major changes in the arrangements for living in a hyper-technology and hyper-consumerist world.
But no need to expect total catastrophe. Apart from any thing else, human beings (even their governments) are ultimately resilient and adaptable.
After holding out forever from seeing the reality and making essential changes, when push really becomes shove, societies will change, and they can do it very quickly.

I sure wouldn’t want to have any money in airline shares. Of course that’s nothing new: investing in or running an airline has been a prime way to lose a great deal of dough in a hurry since the 1930s.
I mention this because the shriveling and prompt disappearance of the world airline business will be the “canary in the coal mine” for what is described above.
Any other candidates?

Probably the ugly sisters of airlines – cruising and tourism generally, especially those thousands of places around the world where tourism has become the totally dominant economic activity.

The Globalist-Oligarch-Eugenicists enjoy the blood sport of war as a profitable hobby.
one thing to say “men have fucked up recently and need to be called out hard for the failures (along with the whole team, who all play some part)”…
another to say “we don’t need men, they just categorically fuck things up,” and flirt with assumptions that women could do better as primary social organizers (when evidence for that position is weak and predominately negative).
better , in my opinion, to ask “what is the ideal role for women in social organization and decision making?” and “do women bear any responsibility for recent social failures also? (because we should be proportionate and universally accurate in our final analyses).”
Thank you for asking sane questions instead of piling on the ‘us/them’ bandwagon of non-thought.
thank you mmfp..
also believe it goes without saying that generalizations are just that… general guides for majorities of cases. individuals should be finally evaluated individually, and there will imo always be lots of room for exceptions to general rules (concerning “men,” “women”… which are in quotes for imperfectly representing generalized groups… not because there’s no such thing, okay everyone?)
”better , in my opinion, to ask “what is the ideal role for women in social organization and decision making?”

“One thing men are responsible for is bringing order to the world. They don’t always succeed, but it must be their duty to make the effort, and it’s not wise to distract them with histrionics when they attempt to do that, or shame them for trying. You are not excused from your duty in any case, American men. It’s not okay to pretend to be women to escape your duty. The women must not allow the men to hide among them and pretend to be them. They must insist that you be men.
One of your duties as men is to oppose false realities to preserve meaning, and you do that first by insisting on being upright yourself and speaking of things as they really are so that you can do with them what you must do. And this is the meaning of authority, which has been submerged in the flood we’re riding on, this flood of false realities drowning the meaning of everything.”
Thanks for the whole essay. I hope it is published more widely. I like this quoted part best.
Mr Kunster get it: Women are going to fight us every step of the way. Civilization per se is a male enterprise, although of course we need women on board too.

What a refreshing breath of air today’s post and comments is. Hardly any talk about Covid and lots of interesting perspectives on men’s and women’s roles. Almost said gender roles but since there are only two I thought I would specify.
“OK. Enough talk. Get yer skinny butt back in the kitchen and make me a sammy.”
Just joking.
Would you like mayo with that slap in the face? LOL
Nice. Thank you. That is the playful to-and-fro between men and women that is so very fun and healthy.
OG, indeed the interaction with lively women is invigorating to a man, inspiring. The ancient Muses were all female, after all. The Greeks had a good insight there. Women inspire men.
farmgal, maybe I should add a couple of images to your comment. When I was running the farmers’ mkt I’d go to the office of the non-profit where it operated to catch up on mail and files. Always in my work clothes, as I had my own farm to run, and other farms to visit, etc, before putting in an hour doing office stuff. At one point there was a 20 something male intern sitting next to me, big beard, fancy clothes, you know the type. One time I felt a call from Nature and had to go the bathroom. “Gotta use the crapper”, was my casual comment as I left the office. Next week, I find out that the guy had placed a formal complaint with the boss and staff (all women) about how he felt “threatened” by my language, muddy boots and minuscule pocket knife I always attach to my belt. Good thing I had good relations with the ladies, in great part thanks to that playful interaction, or intellectual flirting if you will, that was our modus operandi. Or perhaps they just liked the idea of a normal man around, rather than an overgrown crybaby. He was told to finish his internship at Goodwill and we had a good laugh about it.
The other is the astonishing numbers of men I had to dismiss for being unable to perform the most basic chores without disappearing after a few minutes in order to sit in the shade and play with their phones. The state farmers’ mkt accepted people on probation and such to complete comm service hours. There were big warehouses to tend to, as well as considerable fields of watermelon and jatropha (for biofuel) in the back to weed, etc. I usually had no problem with older men – but anyone under 30, or most of them, could not conceive of the indignity of actually doing a bit of physical work. That was a shock! So I understand Mr K’s piece very well.
California about to stab solar power users in the back by massively reducing subsidies and adding new fees:

You just love to see the animals eating each other.
They’re shutting down Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant too, the last one in the state. One wonders where electricity for 50 million Cal. citizens will come from?
OK. Now you are Just goofing on us, Heckler. There is no way that you have never seen my many, many replies to your oft-repeated confusion.
You keep scratching your head on energy issues while TPTB clearly build for a future that includes WAY less “useless eaters.”
You are “whistling past the graveyard,” Heckler.
They are running a Global Depop program Right now. They are planning for a World with WAY less “useless eaters.” Then it all makes sense and you can quit scratching your head while they clearly build for this future of both luxury EVs and WAY less MegaWatts.
—–
It is like the House of Bush shuttering TPTB centuries-old opium/heroin industry in Afghanistan earlier this year. Why would they do that? Because they know that the Demand (“useless eaters”) is soon going away. TruStory
That’s an interesting theory OG and has much merit. But for right now the population is growing, not as much as it once was, but it is growing; 2 million immigrants per year arriving in the US, world population topping 8 billion by 2025. I think even Canada is gaining more people.
The World population will be far less than 8B in 2025. That is why they are designing luxury EVs while simultaneously dismantling MegaWatt production.
—–
Canada is irrelevant. Trudeau does what he is told. Canada will provide its abundant natural resources as instructed.

This shit is Real.
even our genuinely-illustrious-in-ways-that-matter host has made some predictions that were a little.. sped-up in terms of time-frame.
if it happens to you too og, you’ll have good company and deserve only the mildest ribbing imo
Canada is the USA’s little British brother. We send you tar sands oil, timber and comedians. We are your Biggest trading partner (though you’s all guess that that is China).
An old Canadian economic expression: “When America sneezes, Canada catches a cold.”
Of course, that means even more now as we wrap up 2021, eh?
Yes, we are most definitely going down with this ship. Australia, New Zealand, Austria, Germany, UK, Canada. The hype comes from out of the USA and its Dr Fauci and its corrupt Big Med while the noose tightens back the other way.
Americans are armed to the teeth and will be the last grasp/glimpse of Freedom.
Sad but True.
The World population will be far less than 8B in 2025. That is why they are designing luxury EVs while simultaneously dismantling MegaWatt production.
I need more evidence than that, OG. I don’t believe there’s a planned move to a lower population – neither through outright slaughter-by-the-jab, nor by starving people of energy and food.
But even though I accept that Global Warming is a thing that needs urgent attention, to shut down base-load power stations (coal, oil, nuclear, gas) years prior to having a vast ocean of wind, solar, and whatever in place – sufficiently extensive to meet future energy needs – seems batshit crazy.
And even if billions are spent on it – what will be the cost?
Ian, sometimes you Just flap your gums for the sake of flapping your gums.
Like the other day when you agreed that average made no sense but you then lamented that you didn’t have the data to express median so you had to go with average. It never even popped into your pompous little mind that you could have simply abstained from brain farting all together.
—–
1) You will contnue to have access to plenty of evidence. TruStory
2) You misunderstand the cause/effect of what I am saying. They are shutting down MegaWatt production now while also developing luxury EVs now because they understand future Supply & Demand. A vast reduction of “useless eaters” will result in a vast reduction in Demand for MegaWatts.
3) Your standard MSM take is that everyone is “batshit crazy.” We “conspiracy nuts” are “batshit crazy” to say that there is Global Depop in progress while TPTB are “batshit crazy” shutting down MegaWatts that would be needed sans Global Depop.
OK. Everyone is “batshit crazy” but you. Right. Just like your Belief in God’s non-existence, your head is so firmly up your ass and you love your own brand.
Your standard MSM take is that everyone is “batshit crazy.”
I didn’t say that – that’s verballing!
I said that the destruction of base-load power stations before renewables are fully in place is crazy. Do you understand how much wind-solar would be required to replace the ocean of fossil fuel used by the world’s ICE fleet every day?
EVs are a crock, hydrogen energy is a crock, and wind-solar are a vast expense for low energy return per dollar, given our modern world. And it’s highly unstable.
A “depopulation agenda” is convenient (ie, lazy), and not an intellectually rigorous answer to the dramas we are currently going through to “de-carbonise” the world of energy.
You missed every point. It is quite simple. I will try again.
TPTB are now executing their long-planned Global Depop.
TPTB are now shuttering MegaWatts of production not because they are “batshit” crazy thinking that they can replace them with wind and solar but because they know that Energy Demand will go WAY down once there are WAY less “useless eaters.”
TPTB needn’t replace all the current FF with wind, solar, etc. because Demand will be WAY lower.
Similarly, TPTB shuttered their centuries-old opium/heroin industry in Afghanistan earlier this year because they know that demand for that life-destroying product is also about to go WAY down on account of their same Global Depop program.
TPTB are not “batshit crazy” as you claim, Ian. They know what they are doing. You calling them “batshit crazy” because you do not Believe that they are running a Global Depop program is lazy.
My identifying TPTB’s Global Depop program is neither lazy nor ambitious. Rather, it is accurately matching the facts with the Reality of our current situation.
You simply accept your own Wrong premise (TPTB are not Global Depopping) as fact and then use that in your arguments.
Yes, you are a complete dope.

Ian’s “Logic:”

OGH, it’s difficult not to agree with your frank read that ‘Trudeau will do as he is told’. In these times of ‘Flood-Tide of Darkness’, old Justin has had 6 years to bring-on the his vaunted ‘Sunny Ways’, yet the clouds increase, the debt and deficit increases, and its as if the soul and momentum of the country has become even more in question. Its like a trance – will it become a deeper one in 2022?
California about to stab solar power users in the back by massively reducing subsidies and adding new fees
This has been occurring in the Land Down Under for some years too – it’s a sunny place … rooftop solar comprises about 30% of the total, and I expect a higher percentage on houses built in the last decade or so.
Even with generous government incentives/rebates for the installation cost, the rollout of smart metering and buy-back scheme have always been a big part of the equation.
However the power utilities have argued successfully to energy regulators that the rates were too high, and that a monthly fee was justified, irrespective of the amount of net energy consumed.
It would seem much fairer to grandfather rate changes and fees – you keep what you signed up for, but new systems get different rates.
Agree.
I must confess my first reaction was to smile.
I particularly liked that this fatwa was imposed by that person most beloved of shit-libs: an unelected judge.
Hi, Night Owl,
Here is a story that may be of interest to you:
https://consortiumnews.com/2021/12/13/diana-johnstone-the-growing-franco-german-estrangement/
I have a hard time taking much interest or agreeing with most of what the author covers in the article as I see the stances described as being largely superficial.
Just like the Ampel coalition. There is no lamp putting the brakes on the faux-left WEF marionettes that have taken over Germany.
German policy is WEF policy at the moment. Von der Leyen (EU witch), Scholz, Baerbock, Lauterbach, etc. are some of the most dangerous individuals to hold power in decades here, and the FDP will do nothing to stop their ambitions.
Also, the Germans are on track to hand their illustrious auto industry over to the Chinese. If things continue on the current trajectory, Mercedes will be probably be owned by Cherry or some other communist shitpile.
My social credit score would be to low to buy one regardless.
Gee, N.O., seems like you didn’t read the article, since your comments seem to echo much of what she says. For you to dismiss out of hand Johnstone’s observations is really weird. I have found her to be one of the most penetrating analysts, and she also writes well.
IMO all of Johnstone’s comments in this piece are interesting, in particular re energy, and very relevant. From my above-average- volume readings regarding “green energy” I very much doubt these positions are “superficial.” In fact I find these positions fascinating in light of the current push to impose wind and solar power plants more or less world-wide. Since I am on the front line here were with the insane plan to cover virtually the whole Continental Shelf with wind farms. Germany’s orthodoxy and France’s rejection of it in favor of nuclear are important, and not superficial. For starters, France’s position would, I should think, make it a natural ally of Russia. Being also quite deeply steeped in the EU’s “competition mania” (as a result of working on manuscirpts on the subject) I assesa Johnstsone’s comments as deeply relevant. This mania has affected Russia’s relations with Ukraine (and the EU) since well before November 2013 and was the basic driver for the construction of NS2 in the first place (recall that Russia/Soviet Union has sold gas to Europe since at leaset the early 1970s, if not before). Thus it is highly relevant if France is challenging this blanket centralized policy of the EU. Sure, we shall see how it turns out. Obviously there will be major pushback for France to get with the program, but to me just the information that the French are not taken in by Greta is useful. These are not “superficial” irrelevancies. They betoken very deep struggles in Germany and France (and Russia).
Although Johnstone labels the “Young Leader” program as being American (doesn’t mention WEF), AFAIK this is the first time I have see ANY mention of this programs and its spawn in any “mainstream left” outlet. (And let’s not waste time and energy sparring about in the “there is no left” weeds. It’s just a convenient label.)
Actually, it is quite likely that the Young Leaders program IS managed behind the scenes by the Americans and Schwab is an Aushaengerschild. It seems that Harvard U was a major sponsor of Schwab and a prime mover behind “his” creation of the WEF.
Frankly, I like Johnstone a lot, and i don’t see in this article any of the shortcomings you mention. She is implicitly and explicitly critical of all of the new types at the top. In fact, I think her trampoline comment is pretty funny—a zinger.
I enjoyed reading the story as well – informative and clear.
But I think it’s all too much about the standard palace intrigue of the EU narrative for NO – for whom the overwhelming story of interest is the Schwab-Davos Guys, the WEF, and his fear of the imminent Great Reset.
Nothing else matters when you are so focused and driving in the one lane. It’s all mainstream blah blah blah.
Ian, why don’t you speak for yourself and allow others to do the same?
You are always telling CFNers what some other poster thinks and why they think that way.
Yes, you are a strawman-spewing little puke. TruStory
The Media Matters Muppet moves ever closer to an eruption that will get him banned.
Maybe that will be our xmas present!
You are always telling CFNers what some other poster thinks and why they think that way.
I don’t think that’s true at all … I post my own views and stay within those rails. Anyway, NO was pretty clear about why he found the CN/Johnstone article superficial. I didn’t make it up.
Ok. I will change always to constantly.
Note: If you were not speaking for NO, you wouldn’t be Justifying whether you represented or misrepresented him.
Don’t speak for him at all, dipshit.
Furthermore, very far from being largely superficial, Johnstone is the first writer I have seen in the blogosphere actually talking about the EU’s compettion policy, which is *fundamental* to understanding energy and economic development issues in the EU, and tensions with Russia and the natural gas market.
https://ec.europa.eu/competition-policy/index_en
I have been surprised at the absence of any obvious awareness of this context also in discussion at blogs such as The Saker, Moon of Alabama, etc.
I have definitely liked a lot of Diane Johnstone’s work, but like other journalists that I have admired, they don’t see the big picture. That’s why she pales next to someone like Whitney Webb or Catherine Austin Fitts.
I read it. Most of the issues are issues being discussed in mainstream rags 24/7. Superficial distraction from what actually matters.
Green energy tech. as it exists is a farce. Germany is not going green in any way that matters at present. There is going to be a hybridization over time as certain idiotic policies are pushed with the new government (which are simply marionettes), but most people will still be using oil and natural gas well into the future. Even Merkel was still pushing Nordsteam.
The only issue that really matters here is whether they can fully conquer the people via the virus hoax and smart control grid — sending the Rechtsstaat into an early grave. Perhaps it is your physical location that blinds you from it, but here, this is the only transformative issue that I can identify as being of true societal significance. It is omnipresent, and has divided the people openly against each other, and half the population is living on a knife’s edge both financially and psychologically.
If they can, the criminals will reorganize the economy around the hoax, and the gulf between rich and poor will be larger than nearly at any point in history. Then digital currency once the true virus has killed off the Western democratic Volkskörper.
What other issue(s) was/were even relevant in that piece?
Sad to see Consortium has gone all Democrat mainstream for the most part. Another once-great publication I have stopped reading.
Huh?
“Democratic mainstream” ?
What are you talking about?
Where else did you find consistent coverage of the Russiagate hoax?
Where else did you find consistent reporting on and support for Julian Assange?
Where else would you find an excellent analysis of France’s role in Lebanon.
Sure, I don’t go to CN for stories on Covid19. I go other places for that info.
If you are looking for an outlet that exactly mirrors your own views on every subject, and only covers those particular subjects, whatever they are, you’ll probably have to start one yourself. Id on’t read every single CN story, but to characterize CN as “Democratic mainstream” is IMHO bonkers.
I met Joe for coffee (the editor). The entire board are Democrats. Parry’s wife was in the bag for Clinton even. He worried at that time that the publication would be forced to move neoliberal. And so he has. He caved.
He blocked me on FB and some of my other friends for opposing the covid lockdowns and even the trans agenda.
All they have left is harping on the US’s foreign blunders.
The biggest story is the covid hoax. Have they gone there? I haven’t seen it for months but I’m guessing “no”.
And, “bonkers” is your over the top response to my opinion on a publication I obviously know a lot about.
Much like Caitlin Johnstone, another progressive darling, who refused to even discuss covid19 and the tyranny at all.
I find them useless now.
Caitlyn Johnstone is not Diane Johnstone . . . .
And Robert Parry is dead and long gone.
Parry was a great journalist. Maybe you missed his critical stories about Saint Obama.
I don’t call taking on the Russiagate hoax “harping on foreign policy blunders.” Or taking on the Seth Rich murder and the Wikileaks tapes, covered by Ray McGovern and John Kiriakou. Mainstream Dem? I don’t think so.
Ditto, Julian Assange. IMO their coverage of these issues alone justify their existence and demand respect.
These were/are third-rail issues in DC that sever CN from any current “mainstream Democratic” identity that I can think of, or, I am quite sure, Dem resources. Quite the contrary.
CN will cover what their associated journalists are specialists in. Carping about what they don’t cover is kind of pointless.
Especially when they ARE covering important issues that no one else here is covering.
In any event, I expect directors are long-time board members who antedate the Dem Party’s recent transformation. I do not see CN toeing a “mainstream Dem line,” so party membership is irrelevant. What is important is what people actually write/do.
If you want an informed take on the current situ in Europe vis-a-vis France and Germany’s relationship I recommend Diane Johnstone’s piece.
Ummm I know that Caitlin isn’t Diane. I know them both. Diane asked for my email once, because she liked my commentary on one of her pieces. I know Caitlin a lot better even than that – lol. I didn’t miss any of Parry’s stuff. I read him regularly. You might be too angry/offended to get my point. As you’re arguing for it – I said, Joe Lauria is NOT keeping up Parry’s standards.
Also, I did not denigrate any of those other topics.
I said, they are not moving with the times, and are not bucking the system by any means. Everyone and their dog covers Russiagate and Assange. It’s not cutting edge any more. They avoid the GORILLA in the room: COVID19 and the Great Reset. So what use have I for people covering the already-settled stuff? Assange isn’t getting out. Russiagate is over. And as I said, Joe Lauria will block anyone questioning the trans agenda or the establishment position on covid19. Friend him/follow him on Facebook and test it for yourself.
BTW, it was Aaron Mate’s amazing coverage on Russiagate that broke it open.
And so me telling you that Joe Lauria told me to my face that he worried that the board of CN are corporate neolibs doesn’t register? OK then.
“Everyone and their dog covers Russiagate and Assange. It’s not cutting edge any more.”
Really? I find this statement weird.
I don’t do FB; IMO “follows” etc. on FB are irrelevant.
I agree for the most part. Might as well read The Atlantic.
“Might as well read The Atlantic.”
Ridicilous.
(The Atlantic is now owned/controlled by the Emerson Group, aka Lauren Jobs.)
Ridiculous.
Maybe, I just can’t find much there anymore. Nothing personal.
Where’s “Soul Forensics” when you need him/her? Whomever will dissect anyone and anything. Agree w/ Farmgirl re: the “breath of fresh air”. Almost like my men’s discussion group at church. Sorry, gals.
@tom clark – about to leave our current Methodist church. Even here in rural North Georgia they present in our Sunday School class material called “The Difficult Words of Jesus”. Can’t remember the author’s exact name but husband calls her “hyphenated Jill”. She is a self-proclaimed Jew (not necessarily the problem) but she’s a radical feminist and believes that the Gospels were just “opinions”. I could go on but the stuff is really out there. Our pastor stated that at a recent seminary meeting four out of five bishops did not believe in the resurrection of Christ. I’m sorry but how can this be? Our spiritual “leader” here in North Georgia is Bishop Sue – another avowed feminist and believer in the 1619 Project. As I am sure most are aware there is a schism in the Methodist Church over homosexuality, but in reality that is not the issue – it is the progressive ideology du jour so prevalent these days. They keep putting off the vote because it doesn’t behoove the leaders to lose all that juicy offering money.
There is a Methodist church here in the Atlanta suburbs that has broken away from the United Methodist Church umbrella due to these very issues. Of course it is in court but the UMC is taking all property, assets, etc. They didn’t even have the balls to tell the then current pastor until he found out they had hired another. I watched his sermon after the fact and it was quite moving. Paraphrasing, he stated to his son in the audience, “Robert, I just want you to know that your Daddy will never bend the knee or kiss the ring of these people.” All it takes is one person at a time to stand and make a difference. Remember that old phrase, “if you don’t take a stand for something you will fall for anything”?
Express skepticism of Bitcoin and Soul Forensics shalt appear…
Meanwhile, in Chicago
MAN BEATEN TO DEATH WHILE HANGING CHRISTMAS LIGHTS WITH HIS FAMILY.
And I thought last week was bad when, in the Bronzeville section of the city, a carload of BravoMikes held up a group decorating a community Christmas tree at gunpoint, then set the tree on fire.
Looks like it was an Hispanic man in a neighborhood of modest, well kept homes, decorating the outside of his house, beaten down in what’s being described as a random attack, with baseball bats by men jumping out of an SUV — in front of his kids. JUST FOR FUN. Well, at least he wasn’t shot, and the kids weren’t shot, which could have happened.
BRH-
Sounds like the folks in that neighborhood need to call up the local Latin Kings chapter…I’m sorry…I meant community watch patrol…they’ll get the situation straightened out right quick:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1gvilbkUis
They’re on the payroll of the Republican National Committee, who are gloating over today’s news that Hispanics are breaking even for Repubs and Dems.
Pretty damn bad optics here for Mayor Lori, whose eyes, like Jesse Jackson’s, are way too far apart.
odd sitting among a group of conservatives and not a word about saving the nation. Save my butt, save my butt….look out for myself,look out for myself
might be hard to find but a woman who can stand eye to eye, nose to nose and toe to toe with any human being as an equal and a capable partner is one of the most beautiful and valuable parts of creation
Hypothetically, if it even were possible to save the nation of the United States of America, one would have merely saved 4% of Earth. How long could that possibly last?
Not everything is about the USA all the time. This is far bigger than your 330mm people. This is about 8B people.
This is showtime. Good v Evil. God v Satan. The Whole enchilada.
And God bless women! Our species could have never grown to 8B without them. They Truly are our “Better half.”
That’s how it all starts to go bad, Og: men putting women above themselves. The Romans would have found what you just did to be bizarre. Ditto the Greeks. Ditto the Early Christians. That’s a late Romantic period thing that caught on.
The Old South did it but what a difference! Women were put on a pedestal – and then actually had to live up to it. No blank checks!
Ok, Yoho. That is fair criticism. I accept that and will learn from that.
I intended it to mean that the fairer sex is motherly, nurturing and seeking Peace while the male is competitive, adversarial and even warlike.
Referring to one’s wife as “the Better half” of the union seems innocent enough (and pre-dates me) but you have made me reflect upon it.
Words do have meaning.
Thank you.
From another angle: They naturally think they’re better than the average man and thus they seek the best men. The 8/20 rule: 80% of women seeking the top 20% of men. Getting women to accept men on their own level and marry them was a tremendous cultural achievement. Calling them “out better half” is an early stage of undermining that. It simply isn’t true in any case. And they are never going to say or feel the anything similar about us.
Interesting. I always considered referring to the wife as “my better half” or “your better half” as a comment on that one particular union and not as a Global statement on the sexes.
I have re-examined this old, common expression and will drop it from my speech and writing.
You are correct. Thank you.
I thought better half refered to either?
Thank your consideration. Want a bit more? Consider the immense dignity of Muslim men. Think women don’t find it attractive? Now were the early Christian (ethnic Jews) more like them or more like us? Them, both men and women. Hang out with some since they’re here. It’s unimaginable for them to ever say things like this, even in jest. What does the Bible say about stray or supposedly unimportant words?
Speaking now to the rest of the men as well: It’s ok to disagree with Mr Kunstler. I certainly do on occasion. But realize you are doing so in this case when you chuckle about her making all the decisions or being your better half. Is someone like that going to be able to tell sweetie to shut up? And make her do so? That’s what he said. I’m amazed too – but pleasantly.
Notice how Teacher’s Pet always praises him effusively – but not this week. She knows. She doesn’t lie to herself.
ani: I have never heard a woman say that. I just don’t think women think that way in general.
Jar, I am at least as much your pet as Jims. Difference is, he doesn’t descend here to kick me to the curb 5 or 6 times a day. I gave you the vote and the seperate society. I am attracted to that about Islamic men, but not the crazy jihad garbolla, unless it’s inner jihad, not on wifey. Don’t you just wish you could clap three times to get rid of your wives! Lol.
You know the deal Jar. I am attracted to men for the very same reason I am attracted to God Himself. And I truly think it’s natural.
Who is the muscle behind all the propaganda, including demonizing the unvaxxed, and sharing fake news? TNI.

My wife has taken art class lessons along with a bunch of other mostly old ladies (at 72 my wife is the youngest) for several years. Roberta, the teacher, is currently 94 y/o and her husband, Clyde, is 100. Yep, it’s true, I’ve met him on a couple of occasions and he’s still playing with a full deck. This old couple have 2 sons, David and Scott, approx ages 70 and 67 respectively.
My wife attended a little Christmas get-together just last week at Roberta’s. I inquired about the 2 sons. Well, Scott had come down with prostate cancer but was operated on and is now doing fine. David got Covid and has been in the hospital for 2 months on a respirator. I informed my wife how bad the odds are for anyone who winds up on a respirator.
Today we got word that David died yesterday. What must it be like for an old couple like Roberta and Clyde to have their first son die before them !?!? I can not imagine.
RIP
Did anyone else notice the “infection/plague” language used (by some) in connection with the tornadoes?
Namely, “an OUTBREAK of tornadoes”?
No but that makes sense. If they’re not using climate change terminology, or military terminology, or prison terminology, they’re using covid19/disease terminology.

Somehow, no one has managed to puncture the bubble Cankles lives in and let her know that 99% of Americans just laugh at her and consider her a freakin’ joke.
Can men make a start at regaining their masculinity and strength by refusing to vaxx, mask, and get tested, and supporting women who are taking on school and town boards against this hoax? That would be wonderful.
I’m sick of seeing men cower under masks at the grocery store and outside even (!!!) scared of a little cold germ.
I’ve refused to wear a mask for over a year. How about some of you guys start standing up for yourselves and doing the same?
Here in Maryland, my local Safeway doesn’t require customers to mask up — yet. But yesterday about 9 in 10 were masked. In the checkout line, shaking my maskless head, I said “I cannot believe everybody’s masking up again!” The teenaged checkout girl replied (right out loud!), “I know! I’m so tired of it!”

Covid Has Killed One Of Every 100 Older Americans
Sub headline:
As the Death Toll Nears 800,000 Overall, Three-Quarters Are 65 or Over
Some time ago the Ticker Guy (Denninger) pointed out that contrary to popular belief Social Security was actually doing quite well (unlike Medicare). With these sorts of numbers rolling in there’s hope that Gen X’ers might yet partake of the fruits of their labors.
Hey — it’s not all bad news out there!
LOL, AKA the normal death rate. 800K is 2 years of deaths. Pretty much same as every other year.
The real increase happens above 80.
What is there about over 80?
Aging process having immunity decline. Or
Crowding all the 80 pluses in nursing homes?
Hmmm.
Old people die.

Dear GA
I don’t feel I have any responsibility to explain anything. I have always – and continue to – respect your intellect and opinions, which have in most every case reflected my own. Basically common sense and applied logic.
However, in this particular case, you hold an opinion I cannot share. Like most of the CFN cohort, you’re smart & articulate, which clearly, unfortunately, doesn’t innoculate one against the creeping infection that the likes of Narc Troll et al have passed on to you…a steady drip, drip, drip of misinformation that eventually got to you.
I recall when you saw MaryQ & NightOwl for what they are, and still are, your changed perception aside. From my distant perspective, I see you now as living a life of intense worry and anger about something that is quite likely not what it appears to be to you and your fellow travellers.
Best of luck, GA. I truly hope you enjoy your next summer and are around to toss that crisp chardonnay in ianw’s face personally in December 2022. I actually don’t doubt you will.
Funny you blame only 2 out of dozens of commenters here for taking over GA’s brain.
Quite an insult to someone who changed her mind – in her own words – because she watched the videos many posted and read the articles that were shared over a period of months.
JHK even shares most of many of our views. How do you reconcile that?
Yet, here you are, trying to insult everyone on the blog as we’re all wrong and you’re the only one speaking truth, even if all you’re doing is carrying water for the establishment totalitarians. Good luck with that, but as you can see, it doesn’t work too well, here.
Like I said, intelligence is no inoculation to the steady drip, drip, drip. Not even JHK was immune. There’s nothing to ‘reconcile’.
Looks like everyone has evolved except you (and a couple of others). I get that it must make you feel frustrated. If I were you, I’d start wondering why others are changing their opinions given new information, while you refuse to accept any new info at all.
That’s the opposite of intellectual curiosity. You and Take-a-Poo seem to have very little if any of that. You’re in good company though. That’s most of the population! Yet, you choose to hang out with the few bucking the system. Maybe you should also examine why that is.
“Hanging out with a ‘bucking the system'”?
It’s free entertainment, and useful to know what the kook fringe believes. Most actual people don’t know just how fucked-up your thinking is, but don’t worry, I tell ’em for ya. It’s gives them a good laugh too.
I’m glad you can enjoy us as entertainment. I aims to please!
If you & your laughing friends think that a cold is a pandemic, vaccines aren’t killing people, transing kids by sterilizing them is progressive, Jo Jo Magoo isn’t senile, the country is doing great, starving people, taking their pensions, and firing them for not getting vaxxed is ‘normal’ and healthy, then I am honored to be laughed at for opposing those things.
And I will double down and call YOU the crazy ones.
I get that it must make you feel frustrated. If I were you, I’d start wondering why others are changing their opinions given new information, while you refuse to accept any new info at all.
I don’t think too many have changed their minds on stuff – most of the current conspiracists were conspiracists well before Jan 2020 and the pandemic – GreenAlba is the one exception.
JHK changed his mind from sort-of pro-vaccination, to agnostic, to non-vaccination … that’s okay, and he doesn’t ram it down anyone’s throat – in fact he’s barely mentioned it.
I semi-reluctantly had the vaccination because on balance I thought it was medically better. No problem with it.
What is bizarre though, is that a couple on here are so virulently full of hatred for those who don’t share their view … there is no basis for reasonable discussion of differences.
GA has gone so far as to say she’d throw my offered glass of Crisp Chardonnay in my face! WTF? It’s the modern-day version of burning someone at the stake for apostasy or heresy.
That’s cultish – have you seen the “burn the witch” scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail? It could be instructive.
Have a different opinion by all means, but keep a lid on the insults and abuse, so reasonable discussion can ensue.
” It’s the modern-day version of burning someone at the stake for apostasy or heresy.”
Words fail me. Peak big girl’s blouse. Bless.
“Most actual people don’t know just how fucked-up your thinking is, but don’t worry, I tell ’em for ya. It’s gives them a good laugh too.”
I invite you to try entertaining our charming postman. He’s probably late thirties and has a couple of kids. Now widowed. Wife was a nurse, took the most excellent vaxx and died of a blood clot on the brain in short order.
A mystery, I tell ye.
Go on, I’m sure he’d get a great laugh, if he has time between working and looking after his kids.
And I do not berate you because your opinions differ. I berate you because you are a liar and thoroughly dishonest.
You said recently that you were *absolutely sure* that more people would have died without the intensive vaccination programme and explicitly said there was no ‘control’ to prove the opposite.
Yet Uttar Pradesh has a vaxx rate of about 20% and has banished covid. That is your control.
So far you’ve delivered two ad homs to Peter McCullough and we’re still waiting for your scientific refutation of even one thing that he said in a 90-minute presentation.
That last one was for The Troll.
” in fact he’s barely mentioned it”
Another lie from The Troll. I presume you’re trying to get out of this one:

When Hwood finally goes all black actors for every part, and has trouble finding enough actors to fill them, do you think they will start allowing ‘black face’ again? Or, might it become popular to ‘identify’ as black, ala Rachel Dolziel?
I mean, they are calling them people of color again – which was out of fashion (and racist I was told) in the 1970s.
These wokies, everything old is new again!
What a bizarre proposition to make. Weird trolling indeed.
Have you missed how insanely weird the wokies have gotten?
Gee. – you sure post a lot but, you have nothing worth saying, such as this classic example.
Hmm. A non-reply, yet again.
Unsurprising.
Did you miss Ted Danson & Whoopi Goldberg’s black face incident, then?
I can’t really speak to the relations between men and women these days, since I am no great success with the opposite sex.
Rather, I will merely post a quote from Alexis de Tocqueville, the author of Democracy in America.
As far as I can tell, de Tocqueville was a mercurial fellow, yet he was introspective enough to understand the benefit of having a good woman in his life:
“There is nothing solid and truly sweet in this world but domestic happiness and intimacy with a wife who knows how to understand you, to help you, if need be to support you in the difficulties of life. I have felt that too much from my own experience not to be convinced of it. At bottom, it is only in a father or in a wife that true and continual sympathy can be found.”
A very lovely sentiment, indeed.
I think that a good coupling – where the two sexes complement each other – is a lovely thing. Sadly, our society has really been engineered to put us at each others’ throats rather than get along.
But some manage, despite that.
Much wisdom in Alexis de Toucqueville (who was in the US to study our prison system, strangely enough)
When a kid, I started taking piano lessons at around 7 years old, I think. I was a quick study, and a quick player. So I’d be given the pieces that were ‘fast’ pieces to play. But I lost interest (probably because I didn’t have great instructors or much discipline – plus practicing was a bitch because we had a big loud household), and so my talent was squandered. Just how it was. Which is OK.
Had I stuck to it and worked hard though, I would have loved to have been able to play like Lionel Hampton. His playing makes me so happy! And it blows my mind how fast he plays. That tempo, crazy.
Enjoy!
https://youtu.be/36lwrdc63cI
Imagine the neurology and musculature it takes to play like that. One in a million? Maybe one in a billion.
Yeah, he’s mindblowing! But how would we know? Probably more people with potential ability than we could ever measure. Maybe they just never come near a piano.
Ha.
Mary, I bought a baby grand about eight months ago intending to self teach myself piano.
It is interesting to evaluate my own progress. 74 years old and the limitations on my neuroplasticity are very evident. Frustrating, I am stuck at the level that demands coordination between hands and individual fingering. Chords with one hand and melody with the other is a definite stalling point.
It is fun though. Still trying.
Practice, practice, practice!
My favorite Hampton song is this, mostly because it has my favorite big band riff more than once…

An interesting article in the Sunday NYT spoke about the abandonment of the use of coin and paper currency in favor of credit cards, debit cards and other non-cash forms of money.
The article said that Sweden would be totally free of cash by 2030. The U.S. was considerably slower in abandoning cash but would be fully free of it at some point. 65 and older people are twice as likely to continue to use cash for some transactions as the young. Peter is a classic example of this phenomenon. He is constantly hounding my wife to take him to the bank ATM to pick up some pocket money. He can’t seem to grasp the concept of paying for everything with his debit card. He has no credit card since he long ago ruined his credit standing by failing to make mortgage payments and other must-pay obligations.
There’s that 2030 date once again.
No cash by 2030, all EVs by 2030, oil, coal and natgas banned by 2030, baseload power stations shut down by 2030 replaced by windturbines and solar panels, climate catasrophe by 2030 … get the picture.
I can remember when the great watershed date was 2000, when everything would come to an end.
BRH
The liberal mantra
Do nothing. Make excuses later is the motto of the AGW global movement.
The global conferences are a joke, even Greta calls down the stupidity of them.
2030 is a joke, a kick the can down the road joke. JHK, I believe, said it right in 2005. Peak oil soon, by 2050 perhaps with exhaustion by 2100. Exhaustion being the end of economically feasible oil, and perhaps gas.
Kids being born today face the end of “the easy life” where oil and gas will not be available. I pity them for the future.
All you folks that are anticipating a big die off, Peak oil is the cause starting around 2050. Until Peak oil hits in force, it’s effect will be ignored. Then it will be too late.
Not Covid. When 99.9% minus attrition of vaxxed and unvaxxed folks are still running around a couple of years from now, maybe then the real impending disasters will be realized.
The comparison with 2000 is not really fitting, as this is an actual agenda and the signatories all wear that little colored pin, and praise Schwab and co.
The doomsday conspiracy stuff was just more in line with the other cult conspiracies we have been subjected to at the hands of the corporate media (Russian neo-Nazi revolutions, etc.)
There’s that 2030 date once again. – BRH
==========
The use of round numbers simplifies writing about things.
“I know it’s hard to even imagine generations to come at this moment in history. There is even some question whether human beings will able to reproduce after the dastardly things we’ve done to our own chemistry. But this isn’t the end of us, not yet anyway. Let’s act as if it’s not, at least. We don’t know for sure where our story goes from here, but we have some say in it depending on what we do. Just knowing that there is a difference between story-telling and story-making is a good start in rediscovering what men are for.”
It isn’t just the shots. It’s the people getting their reproductive organs butchered or removed in order to “save the planet” because humanity is a virus attacking Mother Gaeia, and therefore deserves extinction — except the good ones who take the shot, of course. If you seek to have more than one or two kids, many women won’t stop their hectoring until your balls are literally in a jar. Somehow, having kids is a curse because of the expense, the inconvenience, and just the fact the little bastards get in the way of adults’ quest for self-fulfillment via endless frolicking and fun. Then, of course, you have government programs taking over for men, so men basically feel worthless other than for their ability to fight, fuck, and piss away their lives; meanwhile, women emasculate men with their demands and their desire for vengeance against the patriarchy that oppresses them through — government programs that drive men out of the home. We live in a very sick, warped society, full of histrionics, hypocrisy, and trying to have everything both ways. I think JHK is right that we’re caught in a great flood, but I’m less sanguine about our chances than he because we as a society seem intent on committing suicide by any means necessary.

A basic human trait is laziness, doing anything in the least exertional and anxiety provoking fashion, it has driven Man to inventions and mechanization forever.
The bad side of this trait is the gimme attitude and the power giveaway artists that feed into it.
We are in the late throes of this, and 50000 more are invading the border every month.
Throughout history, hungrier, less gimme, societies have destroyed gimme societies over and over. Our turn is next?
The New Normal: Chaos
They can create a lot of Chaos by constantly coming up with and discovering new “Variants” of the Covid 19 virus, right? There will always be new “Variants”, and people will never be “Fully Vaccinated” because the “Vaccines” are only purportedly “effective” for a few months…Chaos….
“ “ In a system of highly concentrated power, once there was movement from the Center, collaborators at the lower levels joined in, building up the breeze until it became a gale-force wind. This “brotherhood of the wind” arose through a variety of circumstances: some joined through their own conscious initiative and agreement; others, through force of self-preservation; a third group, through opportunism; a fourth, through blind ignorance; and a fifth, through a desire to use chaos to their personal advantage.”

All that’s left in the commotion of the flood is the shrieking of women. – JHK
Well, that isn’t the only thing IMO. In the commotion of the flood there’s also this elaborate word and mind game called woke-ism being conducted by what you might loosely call ‘Outer Party’ members if we can borrow some terminology from Orwell. The people in the Inner Party, those being immensely wealthy and currently the shot-callers in America by virtue of their having bought the political class (one of the components of the Outer Party), can pretty much say and do what they want, their money being the inoculant from any consequences. At least for the time being.
But if you’re one of the participants in this game, willingly or not is irrelevant, you are in the cross-hairs, you are under surveillance, the real-life iteration of Big Brother is watching you, and there is for all intents and purposes a Thought Police that can and will ruin your life. IOW one verbal misstep, one transgression past or present deemed problematic and you get ‘canceled’ and you can kiss your ass good-bye.
What’s the point of this game? Why all the scrutiny of pronoun use, or of any slight deviation from woke orthodoxy?
It’s obviously a fight for status and position and money. But it’s more than that. It’s because of what JHK referred to in his commentary, that is, the flood tide that’s sinking the ship, and the point of the game is to toss your rivals overboard to lighten the load, so as to be one of the survivors when the creaking, leaking barge reaches dry land or reaches the Mount Ararat that eventually pokes its peak above the subsiding surge.
Red America, or Flyover country if you want to call it that, has been in a dire state for some time now, where collapse isn’t the bogey-man of the nutcase conspiracist, it’s a daily reality. For wide areas of the country this flood that JHK refers to years ago swept away the lives and livelihoods of millions leaving behind wrack and ruin. And the waters have finally reached the ostensibly well-off environs of bi-coastal Blue America as evidenced by ever growing homelessness and immiserization.
For large numbers of people it’s not as if poverty and living rough is a distant prospect. And it’s not as if it’s beyond the realm of possibility for the children of the currently prosperous clerisy that make up the managerial class.
That’s what the struggle is about, it’s to stay in the elite cohort, it’s to get rid of others, it’s to maximize the chances of living life in a decent state. I know what you’re thinking, instead of mitigation work to stem the tide, the energy and effort is to toss one rival after another into it. Too bad, so sad, this points to the unraveling of American society. Among the managers it’s becoming every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost, or the flood, or whatever other imagery suits you.
But the energy is being misspent, instead of team-work from our purported betters we’re getting the opposite, they’re all looking out for number one.
I’ve got some news for them, not that they’ll listen, and it’s this; they can’t make it alone. In this modern-day Hunger Games of their own making, they’re dooming themselves. And if what our esteemed host is saying is that manhood is what’s necessary in the current situation, you won’t find any of it in the upper echelons. And IMO, as a result, they and their hangers-on are as good as done.
Proton,

And the Outer Party shrill righteousness you describe, also a means to ration vanishing professional managerial class fantasy “jobs” – there’s a stench in the air: the smell of desperation.
We’re at the stage in the experiment where the lab mice turn on each other as they realize there’s not enough food for all. Brace for impact. If you haven’t done so already, quit the rat race. Literally!
Thank you for your thoughtful comment.
Rulo, the White Knight rides in. Why, he’s never had a problem with screechy women, just men! The Great Divider, he has no idea what Mr Kunstler is talking about.
This is an enemy.
“ You also understand, of course, that demons and monsters dwell in the darkness, that they spawn in it. This year, the darkness seems darker than any darkness we remember, and so we may be astonished when the light returns to our world. Eventually, we’ll memorialize the monsters and they will frighten children for generations to come.”
I think that it is interesting that in the TV show “Dark Shadows” that Barnabas Collins started out as an evil vampire at the beginning of the tv series, but at the end up the TV series years later he had morphed into the Collins family “daddy”.
Women are always trying to tell us what to do….

It is part of the curse:

In the spirit of our host’s latest post, I raise a glass of Amarula to the communion of women and men.
The merula tree, in sub-Saharan Africa, provides, through the wonders of fossil-fuel transport, the gift of this most exquisite of liqueurs, which I’ve indulged in during the Christmas season for many years. The merula fruit ripens in their summer (our winter), and many unions are formalized under the marriage canopy of the state-protected trees. The fruit, reportedly, also has aphrodisiac qualities, though that may just be a high-falutin’ angle on the aftereffects of liquor content. But of course, drinking and dancing is part of any good sacred ceremony, as well.
To women and men! [drink]
There might be a wipe-out “reset” underway, but there may yet be a few needed geniuses emerging in the hollowed-out remains who’ll go on to remake the world, engendered from the fiery loins of globalist-defiant couples and coupling.
SF -Who knew you ware an individual of culture and exceptional taste!! Amarula is a fantastic tipple! Pour me another, assablief!
A warm, safe and happy holiday season to Mr. Kunstler and all on this thread.
For a few hours or days, let’s defuse high anxiety about the future with a smile, spreading it like a feel good virus to all our friends, neighbours and loved ones. Let’s suspend our differences and celebrate our common interests and values. Let’s comfort someone alone, or who is less fortunate than ourselves.
Surely many strangers are really friends we just haven’t met yet.
The shortest path to happiness is to make someone else happy. That is the golden opportunity concealed in the crisis.

Ian,
Why would they not be? They got state-sanctioned orgies….
I grew up in pretty much the same Zeitgeist as JHK – he’s only three and a half years older than I am. And we both emerged in a post-war world – boomers and the children of the Greatest Generation, and in Western Liberal democracies.
Part of the journey from 1950 to 1980 was the incredible advances in terms of women’s liberation and the feminist movement. The elimination of the most entrenched sexist norms was one of the great achievements of boomers – and of course, especially boomer women – starting really with Betty Friedan, but many others too.
I believe it has been hugely liberating for men too – and those of us born since about 1950 have benefitted enormously. When I was a kid the “man of the house” made all the important decisions (at least overtly) – women were required to play second-fiddle even if they were smarter and more in tune with reality.
But many of them squandered their lives and intelligence, tied to kitchen, kids, and lowly paid jobs, if they had one. I saw it in the suburban streets I grew up in – bright women going mad with the boredom.
My boomer generation has a great time with young women who were strong, educated, careerist, and vocal – I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I look at the generation younger than I am, and quite often the woman is the stronger, smarter, better educated, more attuned, and earning more money.
Want to plan an eight-week trip to Europe, including a Med cruise? These days you’ll find it is the woman doing all that thinking and organising, and the travel agent she deals with down on Main Street is female as well – as is the local bank manager, real estate agent, pharmacist, school principal, and local mayor.
I think it’s all perfectly wonderful … men don’t have to fight saber-toothed tigers any more – but if they have their smarts about them, they understand the strength and genius of woman, and they become a creative and productive team. Everyone wins.
I would say that this gushing praise of women’s “liberation” is more than a little exaggerated. While women of the past may have been “bright women going mad with the boredom…tied to kitchen, kids…,” most jobs for most modern women can hardly be considered an improvement. Nowadays they are tied to a desk or cubicle, or doing medical billing or insurance claims adjusting from home. The “glamor” of the working world is mostly over-rated. Homemaking and child rearing is, for the most part, a fulfilling, creative, and rewarding job–worthwhile and giving great joy.

Given that I spent several hours typing up and examination and exploration of a certain commandment ,
which was never the less then interpreted as some sort of puerile defense or round – about attack —
( really shitty reading comprehension ? Or a matter of always emphasize personalities , never ever emphasize the issues you are supposedly addressing ? )
— I doubt that I will.
It is pretty simple, KA.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

“JFC” is clearly breaking this Commandment given to us from God.
End of story.

You can go on and on about where you can and cannot smoke but that’s nothing but a red herring.

You can heed my warning and stop with “JFC” or you can disregard my warning and continue with “JFC.” You have Free Will.

You called this months ago.

Drain the main brain.
OG
Have you watched Dr. Moran or just dismissing him like you do all voices that disagree with your Truth?
They’re not completely sure how the vaccines? access the bloodstream. Sunflower seed oil, radish root ferment, and extract of arnica montana flowers can help improve blood circulation and reduce clotting. But I guess mitigation and rehabilitation can’t necessarily reverse ongoing and accumulating damage. It’s not just an expert but the right expert needed for the question. The lesson learned is that it’s not wise to distract the pilot in midflight. He says all the time. I just say midflight lol.
Circulation can also be improved using curcumin, the yellow in curry and mustard., best heated with oil to increase bioavailability.
Ah ok yes thank you for that tidbit. I also understand that curcumin has potential anti-carcinogenic properties and may also help to keep diabetes under control. Apparently you need at least 100 mg a day to see any real anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
Datz alotta curry! I take a supp. Usually.
Lol yep. I noticed they have the tablets but I think also tincture too and also nowadays they have gummies. I always like gummies lol 🙂
As I wondered months ago, Dr. Moran has addressed that the blood invasion problem may be bad injection technique, ie not aspirating the plunger to check for blood. Injecting into a muscular arteriole could be the variable that is what is giving the adverse effects. Could be the density of blood vessels in the muscular shoulder affects this tendency to inject into the vessels. Like in athletes? Hmmm. It could explain the “surprise” that happened once the public injections started, ie why so many problems now when the trials did not show it.
Moran updates regularly on you tube with info on the jab. His latest gave information of pre and post jab PULS testing. PULS is a 9 parameter cardiac assessment test that evaluates the inflammation levels in the body and is used to predict cardiac events in the next five years. The results show a definite uptick in the inflammation levels right after the jab. He stated, as I figured, that the increase is expected as that is the purpose of the jab, to excite the immune system. Unfortunately, it looks like maybe too much for a small group of jabbees. He definitely put the warning out about the effect on susceptible folks.
He also showed data on, believe it or not, a study using jabbed vs. a placebo group, something I have been waiting for. It showed increases in myocarditis and pericarditis, but no difference in heart attacks or strokes. It is short term in scope, still under surveillance, and currently in abstract only form.
Moran is a breath of fresh air showing actual data on the jab. There definitely is much to be concerned about, especially with the injection technique and it’s effect on adverse events. I believe that this possible departure from the “model” needs big time investigation. If true, it could be responsible for tens of thousands of lives.
Dr. Moran stated that he felt that anyone getting the jab should request the jabber aspirate before injecting and witness the same.
My belief is if this ends up being a big variable, the administration into the bloodstream, it violates the safety of the IM model and should jeopardize the future of the mRNA technique.
“Nothing is idiot proof!”
SSL
I too wonder why if platelet modulated blood clotting is causing problems, why a preventive drug such as plavix could not have been utilized to stop the tendency to clot. Oversimplified I know, but the model has always said that getting into the bloodstream is a bad thing.
In months past there has been nurses exposing the fact that they were expressly instructed NOT to aspirate the needle.
In the US. If you search it with swiss cows or duck duck, you will find it john.
The video or article was on here. 10s of thousands dead per one little instruction from the cdc…
Well it seems like the healthcare industry has pretty much locked down any potential treatments for covid while maintaining a nearly complete blackout on the adverse reactions from the jabs. So it only makes sense that there isn’t much discussion officially at least of treatments for the adverse reactions like clotting.
Yeah, John, it’s perfectly safe. They are just injecting it wrong. That must be it.
Good thing there is no other evidence and that the majority of injections are being given at Walgreens, pop-up sites, and even drive-thrus here in Germany.
What nonsense. Even if your theory were the cause of the problem (which is laughable, given other evidence), why would they ever allow something like this on the market?
They released 30 pages of the Pfizer docs that the FDA wanted to make secret for 55 years. In the first 90 days of injections, over 1200 people died and there were 150,000 serious adverse events.
LOL.
Your opinion is yours, thank you for it. Your insulting tone is typical.
My feeling is that the majority of injections were given wrong and across the millions given, bad reactions happened.
Even the model makers said that getting mRNA into the bloodstream is a bad thing.
This is just starting to be explored, we shall see.
If it is true, it will be the end of mRNA for the meantime, hopefully.
My tone is insulting because I have no time for Good Germans.
“It showed increases in myocarditis and pericarditis, but no difference in heart attacks or strokes.” — JohnAZ
How can they possible conclude this with any authority?
Damaged heart muscle doesn’t repair. Heart attacks and strokes happen after developing for many years. Kids with myocarditis from the jab(s) are in for a world of pain and shortened life spans, no matter the short-term speculation on a single study, even granting the study’s clearance of strict design protocols (which we don’t know).
It was not a conclusion, it was the actual numbers from the study showing the difference between the vaxx group and the control unvaxxed group.
Watch the Dr. Moran videos for details.
John,
If improperly administered and the serum enters the bloodstream, then the spike protein won’t emerge cuz blood cells don’t have nuclei, right?
If that’s correct, then serum in bloodstream should not be a problem; at least not from spike proteins, right?
” Note that your history in the oldest profession is only a matter of public interest because you yourself have shoved it down people’s throats on multiple occasions ”
Uh huh.
I’m pretty darn certain I have written about twice as much or more about Barbie Dolls and fashion and Soviet military hardware , than I ever wrote on my one – time occupation.
One reason I’m so sure is because I’m reluctant to discuss it.
CFN may be described as something of a family – friendly website , or at least not a dating site , or a posted hang out for pervs , which are arguably almost as bad as dating sites.
( If the internet is anything to go by , don’t ask me how anybody ever gets married. The dating scene in general has always struck me as a dismally stark argument AGAINST getting together . )
Some folks may loiter around CFN instead of watching TV , because TV is pretty much 95% prurient interest , and they wish to avoid topics of prurient interest.
And , on that score , I say with a great deal of confidence that I am not one of the denizens of CFN who drags in the , ” who is fucking who ” every five minutes.
I , that is myself , generally limit references to my one – time occupation to two things —
— the biographical detail that might give the reader some idea of WHERE I’m coming from , what MY CONTEXT is , as this might have a baring on the subject at hand , and aid in understanding it.
It seems to me that is entirely for their benefit.
How the detail that might make me look bad is supposed to benefit me , I can’t imagine.
I could very well and easily play the anonymous neutral , and they would subsequently never learn a god damned thing.
Not about me , but not about the subject either.
— The usual , ” Men are better than women ” , ” Women are better than men ” , ” The sexes are vastly and starkly different ” arguments.
That is not what you see at all in prostitution !
Though , granted , a great many girls in the business themselves use these arguments when trying to play the victim to the hilt , and trying to milk victimhood for all it is worth.
I’m sure there is such a thing as human trafficking. Just as slavery surely exists. But then sex hardly even needs serve as a motive or intent in slavery.
I’m sure there is such a thing as human trafficking. —- But I NEVER saw it.
As for those drug addicts who stand on street corners at 2 AM only on account of they want to get their next fix — that is an entirely different ball game.
Granted , your typical call girl is hardly a teetotaler , but then there has always been a stark difference between vices that can be afforded , and vices that cannot be afforded , even when , objectively , there is no difference.
The one whore goes to jail , the other whore pays off a mortgage. They are both whores.
* sigh* Such is life.
My guess is that dichotomy or injustice bothers me more than it does you.
Anyway —
Sex differences ?
I didn’t see that in my occupation.
And so the subject comes up there.
There are a few exceptions , like ;
The only thing I miss about youth was getting paid to fuck.
But , there again , the quite preponderant point there was not my former occupation , but that people bitch waaay too much about the negatives of aging ,
and practically white – wash out all the negatives of youth , so that the result is more like a Disney Movie , and scarce bares any resemblance to reality.
” shoved it down people’s throats ”
I wrote one sentence , and primarily baring on another subject.
You wrote an entire article baring solely on my one time occupation.
—
First a caveat —
I cannot possibly read every single post on CFN.
So , MAYBE I HAVE missed a post or two , or three , on the relevant subject ???
” but primarily to use it as a weapon to shame your readers and never yourself. ”
Not remotely accurate.
” but primarily to use it as a weapon to shame your readers ”
The majority of my readers never fail to point out the black marks on the resume of others , but likewise never point out the black marks in their own resume.
” … and never yourself. ”
I’m the only one who does.
For example , last Blog I pointed out that the banking practices that led to the banking crisis of 2009 received the seal of approval of millions of people before the fact.
To blame it all on fat cat bankers and Washington corruption is blatantly , vulgarly , completely dishonest.
Again , it received the seal of approval of millions of ordinary people UNTIL it went bad against THEM.
Now what about me ?
Well , there are — albeit the few — times that I pointed out that I screwed and whored my way to a better life.
And twice , or three times , I think I have pointed out ;
They shot people going over the Berlin Wall ?
Well , they did it with my endorsement.
How any of that constitutes painting myself in a good light , or constitutes self – flattery , I cannot imagine.
Except to speculate that you assume right out of the starting gate , and subsequently despite any evidence to the contrary ,
that I’m so fucking stupid that I don’t know what makes me look bad.
—
” But I do find your general awareness a lot more astute than your self-awareness. ”
Granted , likewise , you may not read every bolg post , or even read every word of my blog posts , but ;
” … not your atheism of the time ”
I have gone to the trouble SO MANY TIMES to point out that I was never an atheist , and never a communist
( my love , and my endorsements . of East Germany had other sources )
that I must conclude it is not a case of overlooking something.
But that even when you do read something , you read in it what you want to read in it , and do not read in it what you do not want to read in it.
Or , another theory ; It is really others you are addressing , not me.
You want me to look bad to others .
Your false arguments are not meant to convince me .
You already know that I know they are bullshit.
I certainly don’t want to speculate on the particulars of the whys and the whos. But. The incongruent comparisons and attempts at pinpointing are essentially the same as one claiming that Bambi is a real life deer, and/or a real life deer is Bambi. Iow it was a monologue directed at a self made caricature. Ok I’m in enough trouble lol.
” I certainly don’t want to speculate on the particulars of the whys and the whos. ”
I rather doubt you would need speculate.
You have been here long enough to know her , to know me , to know pretty well where the bear shits in the woods , and I would bet money that you read her shit and my shit as religiously as I read your shit.
So , yeah , you’re already in trouble with the first sentence.
” I certainly don’t want to speculate on the particulars of the whys and the whos. ”
Then why post at all ?
That’s like going to the trouble of going to a dance hall , but then claiming you don’t want to dance.
” Iow ”
Now I have to do a Google search , when I warrant you simply could have written three fucking words.
Q Shtik and OG presumably have more important particulars of grammar to address ,
so it falls to me.
Lucky fucking me.
Breaking one of God’s Commandments is hardly a syntax error, KA.
Yes I do read you and her religiously but I also would be speculating as to ascertaining exactly why a certain piece of information is posted and who is the intended recipient of said piece of information. I tend to feel that many of us here speak to different members of the *audience* in each and every post we make. It’s one continuous torrent of discussion and free association. Iow, in other words, I feel you are lucky as I feel lucky that deciphering your words is a cherished hobby of mine. Typically Q will not show up at my posts so yes you will have to do the legwork if I’m not clear. OG typically will not either. I’m certainly by no means as popular as you are or Alba for that matter. My main point as stated was that Alba is conversing to caricature of you which she has constructed in her own mind. Which is likely what we are all doing to some degree. And that is a relevant way of her relating to you in the circumstance. The bigger question I had hoped to leave you with is what percentage of our perception of the outside world is nothing more than a figment of our very own imagination.
to a (to be clear) 😉
This person to whom you are addressing your sycophancy, SSL, on at least one occasion called me a ‘child molester’.
Let me explain.
I was at the time agnostic on the validity of the Christian faith.
The object of your sycophancy presumed that I spent my time trying to convert innocent children to atheism, or some such nonsense, when the truth was and is that there is not a child in the known universe who knows my views on religion. Except my grandson (whose father insists he not be indoctrinated into religion), who recently told me that the Christmas story wasn’t true (from Daddy), to which I replied ‘how do you know? Were you there?’.
Not even my own children knew that I had drifted from faith to agnosticism for the time that I did (and they were adults anyway).
So, you see, SSL, what the object of your rather oleaginous sycophancy did (is the sycophancy because she told you were a good writer?) was to create a (quite disgusting) caricature in her head of who I was and what I must therefore be doing, and addressed herself (quite disgustingly) to that.
So you can take your sycophancy, my dear, and shove it where the sun don’t shine.
You should be better than what you just did.
I thought you were. But you’re not, sadly.
SSL,
Meta analysis! Right or wrong, I love it! Fascinating.
Wow! Thank you Alba for those clarifying statements but I of course must object. I never implied in my statements that I did or did not align myself in agreement with any of Kesa’s statements or assertions concerning your character and actions. I was actually, which to be honest with you I’m puzzled because I thought I was crystal clear particularly in brevity, attempting to simply say that we, the collective we, are often interacting with self-created caricatures of those around us rather than the actual people/posters. It really at the base of it is nothing more or less than that. And it was actually a simple reflection within the moment subject to all of the pitfalls and beauty of spontaneous emotions and thoughts. I’m sorry that you drew so much negativity from my comment. I think it’s an overreach. The Sun is out today and I bathe in its light. I am barefoot and thankful.
Right! Except I didn’t quite realize that was the process, but yes! 🙂
I feel like you took excess liberties to lash out at me. Another one may have well concluded that I was your “sychophant” based upon my own words. But in any case, I accept it as my Father refines me with fire
My apologies for upsetting you, SSL.
It was a strange approach that you took.
In other words, no one tells you what to do. Not even God. That’s the essence of it. Don’t blame OG and Messi – they’re just the intermediaries.
Somehow you thought you were above sin. That’s how the Elite think too.
“Or , another theory ; It is really others you are addressing , not me.
You want me to look bad to others .”
Pot meet kettle.
I suppose it would be offensive to point out that I had nothing to say to you except that you gratuitously included my name in your post to tell *others* what I think, or don’t understand about you, when I wasn’t even talking to you.
The last time I replied to you, it was the exact same thing – that you can’t help putting my name gratuitously in your posts, hoping for a chance to do what you just did.
Feel free. Water. Duck’s back. I have more important things to worry about now. (And I don’t even dislike you, sorry to disappoint.)
Same with my comment on your history on the game. You said to *others* that I didn’t realise how liberal you are. I replied by saying I consider you very liberal, giving one pretty obvious example.
Maybe refrain from addressing the gallery and telling *others* what I think or don’t understand, and you won’t have to waste time replying to my replies. Or maybe I should just ignore your baiting and trolling, although I type very fast so I don’t have to waste too much time.
The last time I mentioned your name gratuitously on this board was to express admiration.
I said (to *others* since you were not around) that I hoped to adopt your excellent tactic of not accepting the role of the defence, in my own hypothetical future dealings with vaxx-enforcers.
Admiration, Kesa. You need to move on.
“The usual , ” Men are better than women ” , ” Women are better than men ” , ” The sexes are vastly and starkly different ” arguments.”
What do you see then Kess? I mean, apart from loneliness, rejection and anger if it’s unprocessed business. Oh, and plain old ‘need’.
“ You are not excused from your duty in any case, American men. It’s not okay to pretend to be women to escape your duty. The women must not allow the men to hide among them and pretend to be them. They must insist that you be men.
One of your duties as men is to oppose false realities to preserve meaning, and you do that first by insisting on being upright yourself and speaking of things as they really are so that you can do with them what you must do. ”
All that you have to do is to threaten their prestige and their place in the hierarchy. However, it didn’t work on Cato.
“ After Mao’s speech, no one spoke against the Left. The rest of the conference focused on criticizing Peng Dehuai, Huang Kecheng, Zhang Wentian, Zhou Xiaozhou, and others, and forcing them to endure self-criticism. The senior officials joined in lockstep. Men who had fearlessly faced hails of bullets on the battlefield and had refused to surrender under the torture of the enemy became as submissive as lambs, while others willingly served as the falcons and hounds of evil. Many more trimmed their sails to the wind and toadied to whatever side gained the upper hand. Their rationalizations included preserving the overall situation for the sake of party unity. During the revolution, most had been single and lacking possessions. They had believed their opponents were evil, and that the sacrifice of their lives would be honorable. In their rise through the ranks, they had acquired wives and children, honor and wealth. The higher authority positioned to punish them was cloaked in idealism; punishment would be accompanied by a disgrace shared by their loved ones. So it was that totalitarianism turned yesterday’s heroes into today’s slaves.47”

LOL – it’s full of angry dudes (male and female) who never speak of a warm, healthy, mature, happy relationship with a significant other (male or female). Rarely even hint at it.
And very few seem to ever have any fun … it’s always dour doom & gloom. Oh well – their loss – but it’s not a crime to relax and enjoy yourself, even if you believe the world is crashing down, or maybe precisely because you believe that.

Gosh, that’s such a sweet sentiment OG. Ian thinks he is better than everyone else. A lot of people are in rough patches and I think he lacks empathy.
I don’t think I’m better than anyone else. Happier, chirpier, and more optimistic than many, perhaps. I just don’t buy the catastrophism, doom & gloom, end-of-days jive – and for those who do, it certainly shows in their posting – the certitude with which they hold their views (repeating them endlessly, brooking no opposition), and the all-pervasive darkness. It’s sad.
Thank you, SSL. Your thoughts are always appreciated. Marina Just arrived for a little “Head on lap.”

Yes, the Communist Chinese Party IS the beneficiary of BABY BOOMERS WILLFULLY relocating the means of domestic critical infrastructure production to CHINA, in their self-indulgent pursuit of greed and power.
Yet, despite all that, and knowledge of the percolating variables that are AT or EXCEEDED critical point, under the law of self-organized criticality, I remain happy, chirpy, optimistic.

The heartwarming Christmas stories just keep on coming, CFNers, this one is from Detroit.
GRANDMOTHER FOUND RAPED, BEATEN TO DEATH OUTSIDE ABANDONED CHURCH.
Apparently there were onlookers but no one saw fit to interfere and help this poor woman.
In terms of sheer depravity Detroit is giving Chicago a run for its money.
Was the thug 14 years old?
On November 14, 2021, an 11-year-old boy in Chicago stole a woman’s car at gunpoint, the latest in a series of carjackings in which he was allegedly involved.
On November 28, 2021, a 13-year-old boy led the police in Antioch, California, on a 2 a.m. chase in a car that had been stolen at gunpoint in nearby Oakland.
That same day, a 13-year-old boy and a 12-year-old boy were arrested in connection with the armed carjacking of a pizza delivery man in San Leandro, California. The assailants had dragged the victim out of his car at gunpoint.
In the Minneapolis suburb of Roseville, on November 4, two young teenagers held a gun to a woman’s head as she exited her gym at 10 p.m. and stole her SUV. A car chase and foot chase through downtown St. Paul ensued, with the police eventually arresting all the car’s illegal occupants: three boys, ages 13, 14, and 15, and two girls, ages 13 and 14. No one asked: why didn’t these children’s parents intercept their guns?
On October 14, 2021, a 13-year-old boy and four other juveniles, including three girls, smashed their way into an SUV parked in a Holiday Inn Express outside of Milwaukee. A 47-year-old deaf woman, Sunita Balogun-Olayiwola, interrupted the attempted car theft and drove off in her own car to apprehend the fleeing thieves herself. When she confronted them, they tried to steal her car as well, punching her in the face and slamming her car door in her face as she held on to it. Balogun-Olayiwola fell, and the 13-year-old boy ran over her several times, fatally crushing her skull and ribs. The thieves drove off and used Balogun-Olayiwola’s credit card at a local Walmart. Upon arrest, one of the females, age 14, let it be known that she wanted to keep the deceased’s stolen cell phone. No one asked: where were the parents?
One can maintain that Ethan Crumbley’s intercepted note—“The thoughts won’t stop. Help me”—provided clear warning of his homicidal intent and is sufficient evidence to deem his parents legally responsible for the four deaths. (Ethan’s school counsellors, however, who questioned him and observed his

It is the BEST of times.
It is the WORST of times.
Which one applies to the individual is ENTIRELY predicated on one’s locality AND frame of reference.
Same as it ever was…..only MORE amplified AND extreme.
I like your posts, but they still have a taint of cynicism.
Honest question: is it better to have loved and lost, or never to have loved? CFN version: is it better to have lived and lost, or to never have been born?
There’s a lot of anger, resentment and angst on display, but few seem to consider a core point: most of us here (the 8b that is) would never have been born if not for the one-off surplus of 200m years of stored solar energy. (And for Americans, a vast empty continent.)
I’ve mentioned this before, each of my grandparents’ family trees can trace back to where some had 8-10 **surviving** siblings during the 1800 and early 1900s.
If the eons old metrics of survival had been applied, who knows if I’d even be here? It’s the energy/land surplus that was converted to fertilizers (food), heat, light, transportation and manufacture that enabled these family sizes and consumption patterns.
I get what’s happening. I even agree with the objectives. But, we’re all born with an innate will to survive, regardless of the overall logic. So, that of course breeds the adversarial perspective.
At this point, I’m in it to win, simply because it seems like the last great competition for an aging jock.
Thank you for the complement (I think).
I too once played the game of life to win.

Just got my copy of The Real Anthony Fauci. From the Into: The FDA receives 45% of its budget from big Pharma. This is called “user fees”.
Kennedy muses about the results if the EPA received 45% of its budget from the coal industry.
What is wrong with his voice? I heard him the other day and I couldn’t make out a word he was saying. It sounded like classic “Kennedy” but the words could not be distinguished, at least not at first hearing. Maybe over time I’d be able to understand him.

It’s not a book I’ll ever pay to read … another salesman with a political agenda and an axe to grind … starts with his conclusions and then cherry-picks the facts that fit.
Anyway – lots of industries are prone to regulatory capture, and there can be far too close a relationship between the regulators working on behalf of The People, and the companies they are regulating.
Boeing killed a lot of people in its 737-800 MAX planes because the FAA more or less trusted what Boeing said.
But it’s not unusual for the companies and industries to pay fees to cover some of the costs involved. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the regulator is compromised or faces conflict of interest. It is a mandatory fee being levied … it’s not dependent on whether the company believes it’s getting its “money’s worth” from the FDA.
No doubt the book is full of such lazy thinking and prejudicial examples of stuff that fall apart under a bit of critical analysis.
And I bet the coal industry gets away with rather more than even Big Pharma can ever hope for – and has for centuries.
Well that settles it.
Yeah, I love coal. I give it as Christmas presents. Sometimes even smear some on my face for night missions.
LOL interesting
I have 3 pieces of coal sitting merely decoratively on one end of my hearth (I don’t have a real coal fire). I found them randomly on the beach* over in Fife (across the Firth of Forth). They are pieces of sea coal from an old seam under the Firth. They are smooth and ‘clean’, i.e. they don’t leave dust on your hands. One is pretty, with white splodges of some kind of incrustation and a few tiny barnacles.
It used to be mined in the 17th century from the village of Culross (pronounced Coo-ross), which is now prettified as a National Trust property.
https://thirdeyetraveller.com/wpcontent/uploads/9iCULROSS-11-of-67.jpg
(I see just now that it was used as an Outlander film location, so JohnAZ may be interested!)
The miners had to tunnel under the water, and the owner built a tall chimney from the sea end of the mine, so that the miners could breathe fresh air. One night there was a terrible storm, which destroyed the chimney and flooded the mine. The owner pretty much died of a broken heart. TruStory.
*On the same beach you can occasionally pick up small fragments of blue and white pottery from 17th century Delft. The boats would go over with coal, and come back with pottery and pantiles for the roofs.
Bad link to Culross.

My family had a beach shack at
this beach south of Sydney for many decades. Coal was mined there from 1796 until quite recently.
The beach had a good surf, but lots of rounded, clean lumps of coal washed up on the sands. And at certain times the entire surf was black. All clean these days, and yuppified.

When the main character in Outlander, Clair goes back to 1700’s, she does run into Nessie, but only in the book. What an adventure she has, going from 1946 to 1700’s and interfacing with all the Characters leading up to Culloden. I know that Outlander was filmed entirely in Scotland, even the North Carolina part.
Be sure to send ianw a big sack of coal for Xmas.
No doubt the book is full of such lazy thinking and prejudicial examples of stuff that fall apart under a bit of critical analysis.
That has to be, without doubt, the laziest book review that I’ve ever read.

Reviews from some very impressive people of Kennedy’s new book, “The Real Anthony Fauci”.
Dr. Joseph Goebbels wrote that ‘A lie told once remains a lie, but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.’ Tragically for humanity, there are many, many untruths emanating from Fauci and his minions. RFK Jr exposes the decades of lies.”?—Luc Montagnier, Nobel laureate
“Bobby Kennedy is one of the bravest and most uncompromisingly honest people I’ve ever met. Someday he’ll get credit for it. In the meantime, read this book.”?—Tucker Carlson
“As a trial lawyer, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has taken on the world’s most powerful corporations and held them accountable for harming people and the environment. Those companies denied any wrongdoing—but time and again, judges and juries were persuaded that Kennedy’s position was the right one. Kennedy’s information should always be considered, and agree or disagree, we all learn from listening.”?—Tony Robbins, New York Times bestselling author
“Bobby Kennedy and I famously disagree about many aspects of the current debates surrounding Covid and vaccines. We also disagree about Dr Fauci. But I always learn when I read or hear Bobby’s take. So read this book and challenge its conclusions.”?—Alan Dershowitz, Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law, Emeritus, at Harvard Law School; author of The Case for Vaccine Mandates
“If you have any interest in doing a deep dive into the more than 100-year history of what led up to the COVID-19 pandemic, then The Real Anthony Fauci is an absolute must-read. In addition to exposing Fauci, the book reveals the complex web of connections between Gates and Big Pharma and many of the most important players that were responsible for seeking to implement global tyranny and profit enormously from the propaganda behind the COVID injections, masks, and lockdowns.”?—Dr. Joseph Mercola, founder of Mercola.com
“Bobby Kennedy’s book on The Real Anthony Fauci speaks truth in times when health care becomes health harm, untruth rules through anti-science and fake news.”?—Dr. Vandana Shiva, director of Navdanya and author of Oneness vs. the 1%
“I thought I understood what was going on from an insider POV. But this is mind-blowing. Anthony Fauci is playing precisely the strategy that he developed and tested during the HIV days. Bobby is on fire in this manuscript. The depth of information and facts, all carefully cited, is mind-blowing. It is a must-read. I think it will really help clarify what has been going down here. Thanks to the consistently dysfunctional COVID-19 response by Fauci and USG/HHS (US Government Health and Human Services Department), we have all become familiar with the terms “regulatory capture” and “Noble Lie.” The personal opinion and bias of Dr. Fauci has been repeatedly substituted for evidence-based medicine, and we are all living with the consequences. But beyond this mundane incompetence, what this book clearly documents are the deeper forces and systemic, pervasive governmental corruption, which have led us to this point. Not since the reign of former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, have we seen such empire building by a corrupt, longstanding federal employee who is long past retirement age. Dr. Fauci’s apparent need to bolster a fragile ego has led to the almost complete systemic corruption of not only US HHS, but the entire world public health system. The consequences will be lasting damage to the reputation of the United States of America, US FDA, and US CDC as honest, independent guardians of public health, which has been carefully nurtured over many decades. The world is now able to clearly see that the US HHS has been captured and compromised by commercial interests. One unintended consequence of allowing and enabling this tragedy will be further erosion in domestic trust in the Public Health System, and in particular, in the entire vaccine enterprise. Global impacts are likely to include accelerating loss of trust in US and western pharmaceutical companies and regulators, and more rapid rise of Asian, Indian, and Middle Eastern pharmaceutical competitors.”?—Robert W. Malone, MD, virologist, immunologist, molecular biologist
“Standing as a pivotal work for the history of science and medicine, this book unveils the astonishing, twisted truth about a man (Fauci) and a corrupt institution (NIH) that have betrayed humanity at every turn in order to achieve profits and power. If the American people knew the truth that’s documented here, they would be marching by the millions, demanding criminal prosecutions of all those who are complicit in these outrageous betrayals of humanity. RFK Jr’s book closes the loop on one of the most disastrous and truly evil schemes in the history of medicine and science. If humanity does not now demand investigations and prosecutions across this vast landscape of science fraud and pathological ‘authority,’ we are truly beyond hope.”?—Mike Adams, a.k.a. the “Health Ranger,” founder of NaturalNews.com
“If you’ve ever wondered why so many good scientists and doctors have been silenced for discoveries that don’t fit the mainstream Big Pharma narrative, look no further than Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s tour de force exposé of Anthony Fauci. This book reads like a John Grisham legal thriller. Except that it is not fiction. Read it with your eyes wide open. It’s time the world woke up to the truth.”?—Christiane Northrup, MD, former assistant clinical professor of Ob/Gyn, University of Vermont College of Medicine; New York Times bestselling author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom
“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did a great job. I don’t agree with everything, but his case is well laid out and copiously documented. The most disturbing things are the unbelievable financial entanglements, the shoddy treatment of patients in clinical trials, and the culture of intimidation. Overall a very good book and a call to overhaul the CDC/NIH.”?—Dr. Thomas B. Hakes
“To give great responsibility and power to those with no accountability is a recipe for disaster.”?—K Paul Stoller, MD, FACHM, Hyperbaric & Integrative Medicine
“Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”?—Mahin Khatami, PhD
“Kennedy’s book proves beyond a shadow of doubt what many Americans have come to learn about Fauci: that he has stifled open debate to the point of utter stagnation of biomedical science. Fauci issues knowledge by decree. This most uninquisitive Fauci is far more concerned with being right and with making sure that the solutions adopted to problems come from his circle rather than in discovering fundamental truths, regardless of the completely externalized cost of his ‘solutions.’ The evidence shows plainly that Fauci has been wrong on matters of life and death far more than he has been right. Fauci’s resulting body count is such that he should have a statue erected with him posing and hanging his head in eternal shame. Thanks to this book, historians will mark Fauci down as the most dangerous threat to global public health in the 20th and 21st Centuries.”?—James Lyons-Weiler, biomedical research scientist
“RFK Jr.’s story of Fauci’s failure as the government’s AIDS coordinator is a highly disturbing prologue to his COVID mandate as head of NIAID. So, who is Dr. Fauci in the end? Has American medicine truly become a ‘racket,’ as corrupt as a mafia organization? Does everything in our country turn on the size of the money involved? How can we begin to solve this? The Real Anthony Fauci is a fascinating starting point. RFK Jr. has written a strong, strong book.”?—Oliver Stone, award-winning director, producer, and screenwriter
“As I read Bobby Kennedy Jr.’s book I thought a discreet and thorough criminal investigation into Fauci should occur. Having observed Fauci’s flip-flops on his statements on the COVID pandemic, coupled with the book’s descriptions by former coworkers as ‘neither a competent manager . . . nor skilled or devoted scientist . . . with a domineering nature toward subordinates and rivals that discouraged dissent, a foundation for an investigation exists. The conduct cited, involving the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices approval of a vaccine and how Fauci and his Pharma partners use their PIs to control the key FDA and CDC panels that license and ‘recommend’ new vaccines, is a red flag that warrants this investigation. The book cites an approval of a vaccine, whereby there was no testing of a vaccine against a placebo in pre-approval trials that is a standard scientific process to ‘predict’ and/or determine risks if the vaccines would avert more injuries than they would cause—and the vaccine was approved. This appears to be similar to what happened with the Covid vaccines. The Covid clinical trials were not in accordance with prescribed regulations. It brought back memories of criminal bid-rigging schemes conducted by Organized Crime in New York City. If an investigation identified intentional rampant fraud, vaccine deaths could be considered murders and the federal forfeitures would be billions of dollars.”?—Mike Campi, former FBI agent and retired coordinator of the Organized Crime branch of the New York Division
“Who—or what—is the real Anthony Fauci? That may be the most important question facing us today, as We the People struggle to survive the lethal care of ‘America’s Doctor.’ This essential book reveals—at last!—that Dr. Fauci is, on the one hand, a severely twisted person, in his fiendish cunning, vindictiveness, and ruthlessness, a covert blend of Stalin and Iago; and yet, far more importantly, the story of Dr. Fauci’s rise and reign is really all about the absolute corruption of our major institutions—government, medicine, academia, and (above all) the press—by Big Pharma (and the Gates Foundation). Those of us who really do believe in science and democracy, now have this book to help us break his fatal spell on everybody else, and start to rid the world of that corruption.”?—Mark Crispin Miller, professor of media studies at New York University; editor, News from Underground
“RFK Jr is a tireless champion of Americans’ rights to be informed about their medical choices and has been way out front in warning us of the dangers of an out-of-control pharmaceutical industry. In his new book, The Real Anthony Fauci, he turns the same relentless insider scrutiny on an out-of-control bureaucracy.”?—Naomi Wolf, bestselling author of The Beauty Myth, Give Me Liberty, and Outrages
“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has written the Rosetta Stone that will help the public finally understand the machinations of Dr. Anthony Fauci, and how he has acted as the puppet master of science for the last half-century—pulling the strings of public health and Big Pharma influence and causing both sides of the political aisle to dance to his tune. A must-read to understand the fake news about medicine and therapies, bought and paid for by corporations with billions of dollars at stake.”?—Kent Heckenlively, attorney, science teacher, and New York Times bestselling author
“Throughout history, fear has been used to manipulate and control populations. In a democracy, we have the privilege and responsibility to question the things we are encouraged to fear. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. provides something denied to most Americans in recent years: the opportunity to hear more than one perspective. You can accept or reject the new information in this book—but at least listen.”?—Gavin de Becker, bestselling author of The Gift of Fear
“If you want to understand the role Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, Big Pharma, the CDC, WHO, intelligence agencies and others played in planning, launching, and profiting from the COVID pandemic, drop what you’re doing and read this powerful and meticulously researched book! Your future, your family’s future, and the future of our democracy are at stake.”?—Ralph Pezzullo, bestselling author of Jawbreaker, Zero Footprint and other books
“At the beginning of the COVID pandemic, a leader rose to the stage, and his soft voice and welcoming smile drew us in, and we trusted him emphatically. After reading Bobby Kennedy’s earth-shattering book, The Real Anthony Fauci, it is clear that our trusted COVID leader shouldn’t be on a pedestal and should instead be on trial. This book is a must-read for anyone wondering why the United States of America refused to mandate wellness and instead pushed a problematic vaccine.”?—Rachael Ross, MD, PhD
About the Author: ?Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the chairman of the board and chief legal counsel for Children’s Health Defense. He is also counsel to Morgan and Morgan, a nationwide personal injury practice, and the founder of Waterkeeper Alliance. Kennedy is an esteemed author, with a long list of published books including the New York Times bestseller, Crimes Against Nature, as well as American Values: Lessons I Learned from My Family and Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak. Mr. Kennedy was named one of Time magazine’s “Heroes for the Planet” for his success helping Riverkeeper lead the fight to restore the Hudson River. His reputation as a resolute defender of the environment and children’s health stems from a litany of successful legal actions. He received recognition for his role in the landmark victory against Monsanto, as well as in the DuPont case that inspired the movie Dark Waters (2019).
“That has to be, without doubt, the laziest book review that I’ve ever read.”
And you are surprised, OG? This is the most dishonest troll we’ve had on this site by a country mile.
Dishonest is as dishonest does.
“Chief legal counsel for Children’s Health Defense” Translation: virulent anti-vax crazy, peddling his famous name on voodoo science.
Source?
“Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., does not want you to think of him as an anti-vaxxer. I have yet to meet an anti-vaxxer—someone who spreads misinformation about all vaccines being harmful—who is comfortable with the label.
Kennedy is not just anti-vaccine; by many recent accounts, he is one of the princes of the anti-vaccination movement, if not its king. The website Media Bias/Fact Check calls Kennedy’s corporation, Children’s Health Defense, “a strong conspiracy and quackery level advocacy group.”
An academic paper published in January 2020 reported that Children’s Health Defense was one of two buyers accounting for 54% of anti-vaccine advertising content on Facebook.”

Oh! Media Bias / Fact Check. Gotcha.
ian, that review reads like some very familiar writing…hmmm..who does it remind me of…
Oh! Media Bias / Fact Check. Gotcha.
No – the primary link is to McGill University – one of the finest educational establishments in your fair nation.
RFK Jr is an unreconstructed anti-vaxxer – time to face reality – and his book should be seen in that context.
ian, that review reads like some very familiar writing…hmmm … who does it remind me of…
From a source you wish to deny would be my best guess.
I would say that you need to defend your premise that there is anything incorrect in the anti-vaxxer position. You are once again proceeding from false premises.
I would say that you need to defend your premise that there is anything incorrect in the anti-vaxxer position. You are once again proceeding from false premises.
My premise is simple – the net benefit of vaccination throughout history has been far higher than the cost, including with the Covid-19 vaccines.
Some vaccines totally prevent infection, but virtually all of them prevent a severe case – I had polio as a young teenager, and it was a mild case because I was vaccinated.
The anti-vaxxer position has no credibility to my mind, and is based on falsity and quackery. Lots of people have unnecessarily died or been maimed by being anti-vax.
That has to be, without doubt, the laziest book review that I’ve ever read.
I patently was not reviewing the whole book – I haven’t read it – but lots of it has been quoted by the unwavering faithful.
I was commenting strictly on the egregious non sequitur regarding regulatory capture, and the very dubious analogy that this Kennedy was using to make his “point” – as I say – conclusions in the Intro paragraphs.
And I bet the coal industry gets away with rather more than even Big Pharma can ever hope for – and has for centuries.
How much? I’ll take that bet.
Coal don’t jab 5 year-olds, dipshit.
Beat me to it, OG.
Coal don’t jab 5 year-olds, dipshit.
It’s killed hundred of miners for centuries though.
Just as fishing has killed thousands of fishermen. Not sure what your point is.
Just as fishing has killed thousands of fishermen. Not sure what your point is.
My point is that – in respect of “regulatory capture” – there is no major distinction to be made between the FDA and other regulatory agencies. All of them have major issues – it’s the way capitalism works … industries coerce regulators to meet their profit objectives. No mystery.
Kennedy is making a very dubious comparison – that is my point. Coal is poorly regulated, perhaps fishing is too.
Well, that still leaves me with OG, I’m afraid.
Even coal companies are not deliberately setting out to poison billions of humans. And nor are they planning to make it mandatory to work in coal mines, regardless of the lack of choice of employment in many or most coal mining areas.
Even coal companies are not deliberately setting out to poison billions of humans.
Yeah, yeah, yeah … yawn. When will you all give up on these nutty red-hat conspiracies? It would make your life a lot nicer, and this forum a lot more intellectual.
When I said ‘yawn’, you said ‘how eloquent’.
So, how eloquent.
You didn’t say anything there. You still haven’t explained why Uttar Pradesh has licked covid, with a vaxx rate of 20%*.
Or scientifically refuted anything Peter McCullough said in his 90-minute presentation.
*Expect to see ‘vaccinations’ pushed on Uttar Pradesh to destroy the control that you have not even been honest enough to acknowledge.
You want to the forum to be ‘more intellectual’ while you are one of only about 2 people espousing the line that you troll with.
Why not just go to a ‘more intellectual’ forum and be happy among your kindred spirits?
ianw = I am not wise?
‘I won’t read it because it’s all lies….’ Very impressive. (not).
Probably why you included such inanity as, “Boeing killed a lot of people in its 737-800 MAX planes because the FAA more or less trusted what Boeing said.” No. The dead pilots were trained to let the airplane fly them into the ground. Boeing’s 737-MAX design killed no one. Their safety analysis simply failed to account for the modern pilot, void of training as an aviator.
NOTE: I actually had one of those freshly minted ‘pilots’ sitting next to me a few years back willing to fly through Mt Ranier because that’s where the aircraft was going.
Nice that you offer your opinion. However, “[you are] full of such lazy thinking and prejudicial examples…”
jcp
You’re a commercial pilot?
What are your thoughts on That Tuesday in September 2001?
USAF. 5000 hours around the world.
What are your thoughts on That Tuesday in September 2001?”
It sucked.
Up until that time, the SOP for hijackings was, “do as they say.” It was just never accepted that someone would go Kamikaze with the jet.
Rhetorically similar to what we have 20 years later. Hmmm.
jcp
No. The dead pilots were trained to let the airplane fly them into the ground. Boeing’s 737-MAX design killed no one. Their safety analysis simply failed to account for the modern pilot, void of training as an aviator.
You’re really making a distinction without a difference … the FAA was not rigorous in its licensing and permitting of the plane and its software. Pilot training would be part of the certification process if it were thorough.
“It’s not a book I’ll ever pay to read.” — tekapo
It’s always the ones who’ve never read the book in question who have the strongest opinions about it.
In a past life, I reviewed books semi-professionally for a time. We in the reviewing fraternity used to laugh about this all the time when we read online responses (or even literate essay-snips in journal/mag form) where the writer proudly stated his or her ignorance up front.
We’ll be needing a lot of coal in the future, to keep the lights on, and to avoid freezing to death in winter.
King Coal!
What about Greta?
Like Moses, he has a speach impediment I do believe.
In 2008, it was reported that Kennedy has spasmodic dysphonia, which causes his voice to quaver and makes speech difficult. It is a form of an involuntary movement disorder called dystonia that affects only the larynx.

Oh speech. Yeesh where’s Q?
First post-covid doc checkup this morning.
Happy to report no pressure whatsoever on vaccines.
“Have you had the covid vaccine?”
“No.”
“Okay. Would you be interested in getting covid or flu vaccines today?”
“No, thanks.”
“Alright. You understand we just have to ask.”
“Of course, understood.”
Done deal, on to coughing with turned head and other sundries.
Oh, and somehow my blood pressure is just fine after the last two years of madness. Small miracles still abound out there, folks.
Important to pay attention to our local realities over just what we read. (but be on the lookout for the things you read about, of course…)
Same here, Mango, in October.
I took the pneumonia/shingles shot, a week later came back for the flu shot. Doc asked me if I wanted the Covid Vax, I told ’em I’ll pass for now. No problem, see you next year. (It was my yearly physical at the VA)
That is good news, brh.
Hopefully next year we are still allowed the same casual interactions…
Good news, MrM.
I think it varies depending on the doctor or the individual making the decisions. My usual aeromedical doctor refused to see me because I am unvaxxed so I found another that would.
The head at my children’s school is a Covidian/H&S type so the diktats keep coming on masks, and she is stopping parents from gong inside to watch their children’s nativity plays. Heads at other schools have taken different approaches, some better, some worse.
I finally listened to Boris’ address to the nation this morning.
Unbelievable. It was like Chamberlain’s announcement:
“I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this country is at war with Germs. Many Germs …”
He didn’t? He actually said that? What a tosser!
I wonder what happened to him, what made him turn from a self-styled libertarian to the anti-science, anti-common sense, pathetic, weak and fragile old fool that he now resembles.
At war with germs, lol.
Sorry, no, Slugoon, that was me being facetious. 🙂
I just meant his manner and the set-up.
I wonder what happened to him, what made him turn from a self-styled libertarian to the anti-science, anti-common sense, pathetic, weak and fragile old fool that he now resembles.
He had Covid-19 himself – not a bad case, but enough to concern him. Plus he saw the results of the devil-may-care, let-her-rip policies he started out with … and saw that the pandemic was serious and they had to react accordingly.
Far from the only country that had a big turn-around.
Did you just copy that off of an approved note card, ian?

Look at the Night Owl – so utterly obsessed by WEF stuff that he appears blinded to all reason and rationality 24/7. He must be great fun at dinner parties.
For the 30 years or so that I’ve heard that phrase used, I don’t think I’ve ever come across any greater pea brains than people who say ‘must be great fun at dinner parties’.
The inanity of it deserves an award.
Although I’m an introvert anyway, so fun at dinner parties is a bit of an oxymoron for me.
People dropping by for a bite of food, on the other hand, is fine.
But dinner parties …
The horror, the horror.
LOL.
Each new day, there is something that tops whatever happened on the previous day.
For anybody who ever wondered how the genocide of millions could take place while a whole nation stood by aiding, abetting or simply acquiescing, this is exactly the same mentality.
The utter failure of pushing lockdowns, masks and vaccines for the past eighteen months, against all data, science, reason and logic, and all this clueless, authoritarian government can do is double down while the sheep stand by and bleat.
The only glimmer of hope I see is that when getting booster after booster becomes the requirement to live a normal life in this self-imposed clusterfuck enough people will finally stand up and be counted.
Wishing you the best in Deutschland brother Owl.

Two points:
(1) Much of the world isn’t like Fascist Germany, and politicians of all stripes do actually face elections – I expect masks, lockdowns, QR-Code passes, and even vaccines – will be dropped as soon as medically safe – pollies know they are intensely unpopular.
(2) We can’t say lockdowns, masks, and vaccines have not been successful – there might have been tens of thousands more severe cases and deaths without these measures … that’s certainly what I believe.

Good lord, man. How long can you keep this up?
Good lord, man. How long can you keep this up?
Keep what up? Look at the facts. Liberal democracies are run by politicians who “fear” electoral backlash.
In my neck of the woods they are relaxing stuff every day – as the total numbers vaccinated hit their 80%-90% milestones.
Even punitive measures against the un-vaxxed are being steadily relaxed.
Perhaps one day you’ll get back to planet earth, and realise this is a pandemic, not a takeover of the world by dictators.

On your first point I hope you’re right but governments around the world appear to be doubling down on all fronts. Not only that but a majority of the population seem to be in favour of them too.
On your second, more people are dying this year than last year (in England & Wales). Are you telling me that for the first time in history a virus is becoming more deadly as it mutates and not less? How would you explain the rise in deaths in spite of mass vaccination, if they are ‘safe and effective’? Surely one would expect deaths to decrease?
Slugoon,
I am more hopeful than I was. People are waking up late, but they are waking up. Protests are growing. There were about 6 sizeable ones here in Germany and many more elsewhere in Europe over the past weekend and into Monday.
The criminals have accellerated the program in many places because they know people are waking up. In Germany, they are moving to ban Telegram, because the feds can’t hack it to stop protests.
Shockingly, I just read that in Australia, NSW dumped both the idea of mandates and the slave pass. They are still letting businesses decide, but that is some progress. I will never purchase anything from any company that supported the move toward this hell on earth, and I suspect many feel the same.

The rate of real, known, deaths is one thing, but not the only thing.
My point is – had there be no vaccinations through 2020-2021, would the rate of Covid-19 deaths and serious illness been far higher? I have no answer of course (how can one?) – but it seems to me it’s the critical point.
I still hold the view that the vaccines have been by FAR net beneficial. If there are widespread bad outcomes from using the vaccines, then that’s another matter that I don’t resile from … but it’s premature to speculate.
So far it seems clear that the vaccines prevent serious Covid-19 outcomes.
“My point is – had there be no vaccinations through 2020-2021, would the rate of Covid-19 deaths and serious illness been far higher? I have no answer of course (how can one?) – but it seems to me it’s the critical point.”
You keep repeating this deliberate lie.
And you keep being corrected on the point, because Uttar Pradesh has a ‘vaccination’ rate of about 20% and yet has eradicated covid.
THIS IS YOUR CONTROL, that you keep ignoring because you are a lying troll. What the comparison actual shows is not just that the ‘vaccines’ are ineffective in controlling covid, but that they actively increase its prevalence and drive mutations. No mutation, to my knowledge, has arisen in Uttar Pradesh.
Uttar Pradesh proves the critical point which you have rightly pinpointed, just as the critical point about yourself is that you keep lying about this. Everyone on here is witness to your lying.
I realise you cannot stop lying, because you are paid to lie, hence you will keep repeating the same point about how ‘we cannot know’ when in fact we know very well. Although ‘we’ is a limited quantity, since governments, the media and the tech companies are doing their level best to make sure most people do not find out. Just as you, in your small, pond-life way, are doing the same, like countless other paid trolls who are corrupting countless other blog sites.
“We can’t say lockdowns, masks, and vaccines have not been successful – there might have been tens of thousands more severe cases and deaths without these measures … that’s certainly what I believe.”
Here we have it again
“This is certainly what I believe.”
This is certainly what you are paid to repeat, ad infintitum and without shame, despite the evidence from Uttar Pradesh, to the contrary.
There were no vaccines in 2020, ianw. It was July this year before even 50% of the population had been vaccinated here and since that time deaths have gone up significantly compared to last year when there were no vaccines.
I know I’m talking to a brick wall here but unless somebody in authority could acknowledge and explain this inconvenient truth then it’s pretty obvious that the vaccines are at best useless and at worst causing the increase.
Shockingly, I just read that in Australia, NSW dumped both the idea of mandates and the slave pass. They are still letting businesses decide, but that is some progress.
It is not shocking at all, if you’ve been paying attention, and are not blinkered by crazy rightwing conspiracies.
As I have said all along, politicians fear the electors, and they will drop and dismantle all restrictions the very second the medical advice says it’s clear. They are also dropping a number of restrictions against the unvaxxed.
These things are occurring in Victoria, but more in NSW where cases have quadrupled in a short time (days). But NSW is a special case – a far-right Jesuit Opus Dei Catholic is the newish premier (governor), and he has an extremely libertarian type (and basically a pandemic denier).
He looks straight out of the CIA circa 1964 or so.
I should add that almost all the on-screen epidemiological experts that have been seen and heard for almost two years, are quite puzzled – and concerned – by the relaxation of restrictions, in the face of exponential rises in new case numbers.
While the proportion of cases requiring hospitalisation remains quite low, it’s clear that the virulence of the Omicron variant is so high that the “national plan” might require re-visiting.
But politicians face elections in 2022, and they are making risk-assessments no doubt … whether it’s better to allow cases to sky-rocket (but not killing many), versus re-introducing strict conditions, in an attempt to flatten the curve.
It’s a tricky thing to get right.
There were no vaccines in 2020, ianw. It was July this year before even 50% of the population had been vaccinated here and since that time deaths have gone up significantly compared to last year when there were no vaccines.
I don’t have a closed mind on the subject. But we need to see whether the Covid deaths in 2021 were disproportionately among the unvaccinated.
And further, the increase in deaths in 2021 despite greater vaccination might well reflect the fact that the virus is far more widespread than during much of 2020 (via Delta virulence, and soon Omicron).
Germs? I thought it was Germans.
It was, OG.
I was joking. I occasionally do that. 🙂
It was actually ‘Germany’.
Ha! I took you seriously and was then cracking my own lame joke.
A year ago today the first COVID-19 vaccines were given out, and more than 450 million shots have been administered across America since. The rapid development and manufacturing has been described as one of the greatest scientific achievements of our time.
With all that progress – not to mention billions of dollars spent on vaccine development – what’s next for vaccines?
Researchers are racing to create variant-specific boosters, the first of which could be available as soon as March. Scientists are also working on vaccines that will act against a broader range of variants and viruses, as well as ways to preserve doses so they will be hardier and won’t require freezing. /MSN USA T

Green Alba, I watched the video you posted last time and it was a song that my father taught to me as a child. His mother had a Scottish grandfather.
Anyway, we sang it all the time, but one phrase we sang like this, “For me and my true love, wherever wan to gee”.
I always assumed the words were Scottish, but I heard them singing in English on the video and it occurred to me that we had just mangled the verse, as people are wont to do as songs get passed down.
Could you enlighten me?
Paula
The official version seems to be:
“Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae,”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bonnie_Banks_o%27_Loch_Lomond
But with old songs, people do change the words over the years, and Runrig took some minor liberties.
‘Gee’ isn’t a word. ‘Gie’ (pronounced ‘ghee’) means give, and ‘gae’ means ‘go.
You’ll maybe know:
“O, wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as others see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us,
An’ foolish notion.” (Burns)
There’s been an argument over the years between those who consider Scots to be merely a dialect of English, and those who consider it (the language known as Lallans – from Lowlands, as opposed to the Gaelic of the Highlands and islands) to be a separate branch of an earlier branch of English.
I have no view, as I only speak English, but can understand the gist of proper Scots, as you can yourself!
http://lallans.co.uk/
an earlier *version* of English, pardon the repetition.
Robbie Burns was an incredible fellow, with an extraordinary life story.
Wait a minute, GA, wasn’t there an original Scottish language, separate from English? What language did James Stuart, James I, speak?
Here are some bits and pieces for your, brh.
Seems yer man spoke Latin and French, and understood Italian, as well as speaking English, presumably with a Scots accent. Although it would depend who was teaching him, I suppose.
But he certainly didn’t speak Gaelic, if that’s what you meant.
Of course his mum was mostly brought up in France, so spoke French and English (and presumably Latin) and I don’t know what else. But she didn’t see much of him …
Forgot the link.
https://www.ilovelanguages.com/what-language-did-james-1-speak/
Wait a minute, GA, wasn’t there an original Scottish language, separate from English?
There still is – Scottish Gaelic – which really is a separate language from English, not a dialect. Similar indigenous languages in Ireland and Wales.
It’s not an ‘original Scottish language’ in the sense of being an original language of all Scotland, replaced by English. The Gàidhealtachd, although it evolves, is quite specific, and does not equate to Scotland.
Most parts of present-day Scotland have never been a home to Gaelic.
Or Pictish, if you want to go further back.
Ah…uber-Northumbrian Mensch?
OK, thanks. I guess we didn’t mangle it too badly, 4 generations on.
Here’s an excellent song by Burns, performed by Jean Redpath. She recorded about 50 Burns songs, so you can listen to them as songs, and they are all excellent performances. You can find almost all of them on YouTube. She also recorded many other Scottish songs.
Another one of my favorite Burns songs is “Corn Rigs.”

Who dies fully vaccinated?
You tube
Dr. Moran. 1 month ago
Good synopsis with real data of where we are at.
I hear most often now that most active covid cases are among the vaccinated
I hear most often now that most active covid cases are among the vaccinated
That would be expected, given that the “fully vaccinated” account for 90% of the population in some places. The critical epidemiological question is the number of cases that require hospital, ICU treatment, or lead to death.
It still seems the vaccinations prevent (or much reduce) symptomatic and more severe cases. The test will be the number of vaccinated-boosted people who contract severe omicron in the next x weeks or months.
I hear most often now that most active covid cases are among the vaccinated
The CMO of Victoria advised today that 92% of those in hospital with severe cases (ICU etc) are unvaccinated. And of the 8% fully vaccinated, almost all are elderly or otherwise compromised.
If the vaccines were not effective then the situation would be the reverse, and those with severe cases would reflect the percentage of the population vaccinated. Vaccines do prevent severe Covid-19.
Nobody will ever be “fully vaccinated,” John.
You are right on this one, no argument. Just like the flu shot, every year for a new variant. Covid, because of its transmissibility and speed, may be ridiculous in its vaccine demand, all to avoid a mild cold in most cases.
Your option, preventive behavior to avoid the virus.
Omicron is moving quickly, a report from UK said at 50% of new cases. Very mild, some are calling it the natural control of endemic Covid. Curious, I wonder if the same thing ended the big impact of the 1918 flu? A milder form outperforming the more virulent forms.
Just like the flu shot, every year for a new variant.
They sure didn’t sell it that way a year ago. Right?
You know? Given their track record these past 21 months, why would anybody still Believe anything coming out of their lying mouths?

Australia has bought/contracted enough vax to jab every Aussie 14 times! Yuck! A Whole country of dirty needle junkies!

I hear tell that T-cells will become so compromised that the jabbed will avoid sunlight like a vampire lest they easily grow fresh skin cancer. That would suck, eh? [Pardon the pun.]

If I were double-jabbed, I like to think that I could go cold turkey.
I’ve quit alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, cigarettes but quitting those actually improves one’s immune system.

I have never taken a flu shot. I can’t remember the last time that I got the flu. 10 years? I’d take ‘The Over’ on that.
I thank God that I remain in His image with my natural, unfucked immune system. As you say, it is my option (so far).
Australia has bought/contracted enough vax to jab every Aussie 14 times! Yuck! A Whole country of dirty needle junkies!
Are you sure about this? Australia media is suggesting there is actually a shortage for boosters – even though AstraZeneca is produced in the country, and a Moderna plant is being set up as well.
These are for “future” pandemics too – and to service the South Pacific and nearby SE Asia in the near term.
I’ve had a flu shot every year for ages … no ill effects, and more importantly, no serious colds or flu (except a couple when travelling overseas – foreign bugs I assume).
No, I can’t say that I am 100% positive. I heard it on video. They seemed certain. Perhaps that’s where the “contract” part plays a role. Knowing Moderna, it would not be surprisng if that was part of the deal to attract that capital and high-paying jobs.
Also, keep in mind, your MSM are Rothschild lapdogs.
You’ve been lucky. The annual flu shot is a guess of what bug might be floating around and later proves to be Wrong more often than it is Right.
—–
There is much speculation that it was spiked flu shots that provided the necessary deaths in early 2020 that kicked this Whole farce off. Especially in Italy.
There is much speculation that it was spiked flu shots that provided the necessary deaths in early 2020 that kicked this Whole farce off. Especially in Italy.
I’ve heard that too – you’d want to see a bit of solid evidence before we ran too far with it though. But the outbreak in Lombardy Italy (and Iran too) were very sudden after Wuhan.
Australia doesn’t produce that much, but in biomedical fields we are world-class, and lots of stuff does happen here. But yes – the owners are doing the deal out of a sense of charity, for sure – there is ultimately a big market in the Indo-Pacific region.
Not sure all the media are Rothschild tools – especially not the “leftie” ABC and SBS networks. And SkyNews is owned by Rupert Murdoch – is he also a Rothy captive?
I wonder if the same thing ended the big impact of the 1918 flu? A milder form outperforming the more virulent forms.
I’ve read that too – and some suggest the current “flu” that cycles around the world is its direct descendant.
Better go get a fix.
Better go get a fix.
You anti-vax hystericals are quite amusing to observe – anthropologically. Night Owl is the extreme species of course.
OG: They may become “fully vaccinated”, but then the psychos will just move the goalposts, and you’ll have to become “”fully boostered”.
Check out the all deaths table here (data from the UK’s ONS):
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/vaccinated-english-adults-under-60
Does this proof count, John? Ian? TikTok (wherever you are)?
No, not one iota of data whether the increased deaths were Covid or vaxx caused,
As I said to GA who brought this up
Correlation does not prove causation.
It IS a good starting point to investigate what did cause the increase in deaths, number one, extrapolate the graph backwards in time to see if it crosses over before and why.
Good thinking, John.
If the vax makes you die from a heart attack or a stroke then it worked.
Did you all watch the video? He addresses all your statements with actual data.
70% of hospitalized Positive Covid patients are UNVACCINATED. For example.
Positive of what? A PCR test? Please.
UK’s deaths went WAY above statisical norm and those excess deaths are those jabbed. Month after month after month.
Now … you can interpret those facts any way that you like but me, with several decades of stats analysis under my belt, they make me Happy that I remain in God’s image on account of wanting to remain alive.
Hypothetically, John, where is your bar? What proof do you need to see before you will admit that these vaxxes are Bad for people (like they undoubtedly were for the tested animals)?
John will NEVER admit such a thing. His noggin would explode like a pumpkin if he did. What a mess!
Fox News story yesterday.
The price of fertilizers is starting to skyrocket, which will reflect in the future food prices.
The inflation is starting to dig in, to invade the resource level. Stand by.
BTW, some people think they benefit from inflation.
No one does.
The people who looted Earth clean will benefit from inflation. They will own all the Real assets and owe nothing for them.
When Dickens was writing about the horrors of Victorian age industrialization, one could sail across the pond to have an entirely different life experience.
For the same type & level of dangerous/hard work that maybe got you a rented row house in Manchester, one could actually “get ahead” in the USA by purchasing land and building your own house.
Our forefathers still had living memories of past hardships, so they well understood just how lucky/fortunate they were with plentiful food, running water, heat, light and (seemingly endless) economic growth. And perhaps even a small voice in the conduct of political affairs.
But somewhere along the line, as those old memories faded to dust, new generations arose that not only did not possess any collective memories, but had actually evolved to the point of confusing the present as some kind of new permanent state of affairs, with attendant expectations and sense of entitlements.
The reactions to being informed that we must all go back to ancient roles and relationships is very illuminating. Even our host, while being an early thinker on resource constraints, seems to fail to appreciate that the simulcrum of self determination is irrevocably tied to surplus.
My advice is rather act out from a sense of depressed/rebellious expectation, one should be laughing at how fvcking lucky we were to be alive during peak surplus in the first place.
Switch your orientation to optimism, know what’s coming, and count your blessings.
Like grieving process.
Shock, anger, bargaining, then final acceptance of the inevitable and unavoidable.
Optimism involves hope. What is going on today is squelching hope?
For the political gain of a very few.
Tax and spend.
Hope? Optimism? How’s this:
I woke up this am without any major aches and pains, nor broken body parts, scars or any other signs of a lifetime of manual labor.
(You see, that’s because I was smart enough to have an office job, but also had enough free time and access to enjoy a healthy Socal beach life style.)
I turned on the heat, took a shit in a nice cozy warm bathroom, then took a nice long hot shower. Afterward, I brewed a cup of coffee from beans flown in from a specialty roaster in seattle.
Right now I’m watching the rain come down, reading the local news about homes prices continue to rocket upward, and planning a trip to the grocery store to get some items for my wife to prepare a nice slow cooked dinner.
She understands her mom’s POV, but chooses not be be fully engaged with what’s happening. She’s the ivy leaguer, but tends to shy away from the type of strident behaviour somewhat characteristic of her class.
We know this sucker is going down, but we’re staying put in our neighborhood of 25 years. This is our last redoubt, but we’re not dwelling on negatives.
Boy, do I agree with you on your last.
It takes 5 to 20 years to adapt to a new environment. Too late for me.
My grandson however needs to think outside the box, possibly the American box.
Good points Mitch. A few Sundays ago my wife put out a nice surf and turf spread, sirloin steak and swordfish, with stuffed shrimp appetizers, and while we are having dinner she started talking about food the shortages she was reading about on Facebook. What food shortages? I asked. “Well, I was looking for this certain Tobasco Sauce and the store was out of it.”
“That’s just one item. It doesn’t mean there are food shortages.”
“No, but there might be.”
“Do you see the irony in eating steak and swordfish, and worrying about empty shelves at the supermarket?”
“All you care about is yourself.”
End of conversation.
Women! You can’t live with ’em … pass the beer nuts.
– Norm on Cheers!
“You see, that’s because I was smart enough to have an office job” — mitchellc
More dripping condescension.
I worked many years in ‘back-breaking’ manual labour. I don’t wear it like a moral badge, but I also don’t belittle it or pity myself or the ‘hardship’.
I’ve also worked many years in offices, so, unlike you, I’ve extensive experience on both sides of your neat, tidy, and superficial, ignorant view of the ‘other side’.
My ‘back breaking’ years also developed physical strength, courage in the face of tough, adversarial sons-a-bitches that served me well in softer jobs and in life in general, and a good income while leaving the job behind when I punched the time clock at shift’s end, unlike the case in an office job (sales) when I constantly took the stress of quotas and office politics home with me to stew over on my so-called off hours. (Mental stress is worse than physical stress on the body and psyche.)
Finally, in a post-oil world, it’d take two seconds for me to side with almost the entire coterie of my fellow labour ex-employees (who knew more than a little about how to survive on one’s property during hard times) and against the egotistical, electronics-obsessed, consumerist office assholes I invariable had to rub shoulders with day-to-day.
Connections with the right people are imperative now, and especially in the near- and mid-future. For all your imperious ‘advice’, you never reveal your own connections, and how you worked to get them. Nothing but abstract responses to futuristic speculations.
Brilliant. Thank you!
My MIL, who was born in the 1940s, straight up says that “she got hers”.
She came – as we all did – from the working class. But unlike the so-called lower classes of today, which are literally trogledidic untermensch, back in the day one could still be witty, smart and attractive.
And thus we have the great post WW2 period of economic upward mobility that produced people like Jim, me, CFN posters and millions (?) of other generational success stories.
But my MIL still remembers the previous realities via her parent’s habits, stories and warnings, and thus has no problem reveling in the fact that she has led a very charmed life and fully intends on riding the gravy train till the end.
That’s what we should be discussing. Monitoring the present as forecast events unfold, but also fully cognizant that we’re also very lucky ducks.
“lucky ducks”
no children except those born into uncertainty. no ancestral tradition worth saving or passing on. no freedom on or ownership of the land. severely injured or non-existant ties to fellow travelers.
“lucky ducks”? i’m going to disagree
We are Lucky ducks in the Boomer group. Our parents left us a safer world with the tools to really exploit its resources.
We did it!!
Now those resources are starting to bottom out. Future generations starting with “Z” are not going to have the lifestyle choices we have had.
We will feel the beginnings of the downturn, but fifty years from now this planet will be very different.
Adaptive species continue, eg humans during the last ice age.
Others do not, the challenge faces the future humans.
….EXCEPT for the Baby Boomer Monster degenerate division represented by the self-indulgent, power-hungry mongrel miscreants like Jeffrey Immelt, Bob Iger, George W.

Jeez, you’re hard to please. Boomers had a great run. Okay it wasn’t all free beer and nude mud-wrestling, and there was (is) a lot of shallow materialism rather than things the feed the mind, but it’s been pretty good.
We were the richest, best fed, best educated, and healthiest generation to ever grace the planet … until those that came after us, who did better. But at some point in time the wheels of progress fell off, and it’s been bumpy for a fair while.
But it’s still hugely better than the life experience of 99.9% of the planet, so we should keep the things that bug us in perspective lest we appear as spoilt brats.

Human nature at all generations.
A study made long ago I believe I heard about in sociology 101.
It studied using a happiness questionnaire.
It studied different groups in Detroit, each group was representative of one of the Big Three car manufacturers, comprised of employees on the assembly line.
It’s goal was to see if raises given to the people made them happier.
The results were interesting but not surprising.
Most union raises are negotiated with one of the companies, say Ford, then given to all three company’s employees.
The study showed that raises to everyone equally made no difference in happiness. The only increase in happiness happened when people got raises themselves relative to everyone else.
Capitalism at its best.
Free Enterprise is not a problem.
BABY BOOMER Hyper-Crony-Capitalism without a conscience, as demonstrated by willful disregard for urban community health and philanthropy, contributed greatly to the destruction of the old republics.
Ross Perot, a non-BOOMER, effectively called IT out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3LvZAZ-HV4
Time and Energy is BEST spent building the New, not fighting the old.
Those who willfully aided and abetted the accelerating destruction of the old republic, are paying an INFINITE price….
BTW, Perot backed out IMMEDIATELY from politics when the GOE’s threatened to offer his soon to be married daughter early involuntary retirement.
…new generations arose that not only did not possess any collective memories, but had actually evolved to the point of confusing the present as some kind of new permanent state of affairs, with attendant expectations and sense of entitlements.
This is right on, mitchellc, and great writing.
There are certainly still places to which one can “sail” that can provide a notably new life experience, but the shrinking of the globe has created a vacuum of variety across the board, so they are few and far between.
In a few short decades the world has become the equivalent of American Strip Mall uniformity as one drives across the expanse of the country. People talk a bit differently, but there’s always a Chipotle, Subway, and a Home Depot nearby. Everyone watches the same shows, everyone is mass-informed about the same topics, everyone has access to the same information, instantly. (I use “everyone” loosely here, but you know what I mean.)
Not only that, the “differences” to be lived elsewhere may last only a matter of a few years now, as opposed to decades or centuries of separate evolution untethered to the global conglomerate, as was possible before the massive leaps in communication we’ve witnessed in our lifetimes.
The only people not being swept up in this are either brutally impoverished in the third world, or those who actively choose not to conform to the new definition of “living”.
While we can enjoy having lived in this time without any real effort of our own to make it so, the current result is, sadly, a widely stupid population that sees no benefit in the details of the past.
“Cuz we’re smarter now.”
No. We ain’t. We’re dumber for all of it.
The time for societal rediscovery and necessary regrowth will come again to future generations, and sooner than they think.
In a few short decades the world has become the equivalent of American Strip Mall uniformity as one drives across the expanse of the country.
Much of the “world” outside America has copied-adopted-been invaded by US consumerism and mass culture, but the absolute direness of the American Strip Mall has thankfully been rejected just about everywhere.
Driving from sea to shining sea they’re hard to ignore – the same dull bleak facades, the same crappy Dollar Tree stores and unlovely grocery stores, an acre of parking … on and on ad infinitum.
I much prefer my local 1880s shopping centre.

I don’t disagree with the first half of your statement, but the subsequent assumption that it has been “rejected just about everywhere” (all of those highly moral and strong countries) of the world is rather laughable.
Congrats on your hometown shopping center. We have those too.
FWIW, I can attest that there are strip malls from coast to coast in the Great White North, eh!
I don’t disagree with the first half of your statement, but the subsequent assumption that it has been “rejected just about everywhere” (all of those highly moral and strong countries) of the world is rather laughable.
Fair enough – over-stated – but I can attest that they don’t exist in Oceana, SE Asia, or the Europe I’ve seen (and it’s a fair bit). But yes – there could be US Strip Malls in Nairobi, Buenos Aires and Kazakhstan … I couldn’t say.
There are hundreds of channels now. For better or worse, we don’t all watch the same shows now. As stupid as that was, it helped us to keep us together, for better or worse.

Sustaining the highest levels of consciousness (love, joy, gratitude, peace, and synchronicity), and the subsequent highest frequencies of sentient existence, by definition, allows for the complete rejection of those elements operating at the lower levels of frequency, and obtain near instantaneous discernment of TRUTH.

Elevating those from darkness IS the categorical imperative.
Hence, the multitude of unhappy endings across the landscape of the subset of BABY BOOMERS who WILLFULLY sold out the old republic to the Communist Chinese, for the love of money and lust for power.

Yah. Saw that yesterday got. Thnx!
You’re welcome!
The categorical imperative is the elevation of ALL SENTIENT BIOLOGICAL life to the highest levels of human consciousness and a thriving ECOLOGY!
My life has been well-lived and in and of itself contains little value.
The elevation of others is the key to the survival of a peaceful planet grounded in love, joy, gratitude, peace. and
synchronicity, AND a thriving abundant ecology.
It starts one relationship at a time, simultaneously.
Your life is of infinite value got. I have a reconciliation ceremony and adoration meditation tonight. Sure we’ll die sometime got, but it is our job to ask for healing. Imma try, tonight.
The Virgin says everybody with faith will be healed physically and spiritually when the permanent miracle occurs.
If your conscience is clear it will be done.
I hide all sorts of sht about myself from myself so… try try again. And maybe mean it this time.
The greatest evil on this planet, isn’t ignorance, but evil.
The current paradigm is akin to some sort of cultural autoimmune disease. Our institutions are failing at a profound level, much like disease causing programmed cell death at an elevated rate. Even those institutions that were held in high esteem until very recently are losing credibility. The military and the NIH come to mind. As a scientist I have watched the quality of the scientific literature decline markedly over the last couple of decades. Although high quality research is still being done, it is also becoming more evident that approximately 50% of scientific literature is now non-reproducible, incomprehensible gobbledygook. More perplexingly, the powers that should not be seem to be intent on accelerating the decline of the very systems that they parasite off of for their wealth, power and status. The printing press is their magic wand and they’ve go to be highly concerned to watch it starting to go flaccid. I wish I had studied more history to know whether cultural suicide is standard protocol for failing empires.
Yes. It is called “parasitic divergence”, and it IS cyclical.

The difference this time is the non-worthwhile Globalist-Oligarch-Eugenicists have acquired the self-replicating technology in the form of sentient, ambidextrous Artificial Intelligence at the upper end, and engineered viruses, bacterium, and nanotechnology at the lower end, to effectively end the human-earth experiment.
Those with the inside knowledge standing and divulging TRUTH may preempt further progress.
Or not.
The answer is yes, those at the top are the first to understand, react and prepare accordingly.
This is primarily due to being raised in the dark arts of leadership – while the rest of us were trained in functional jobs like medicine, law, engineering, etc.
As part of that curriculum, a basic knowledge of empires past is necessary to understand the challenges of every age and generation. Is it a mystery why all empires have eventually failed? A perfect .000 batting average.
Whether resource restrictions (yes, the ancient lands were once forested) or as you speculate, some innate genetic trigger that manifest throughout a universal life death cycle, nothing last forever.
So the real tell is when the captain starts getting drunk. Our leadership is presently demonstrating a completely manic disregard for all traditions, protocols and relationships. What does this tell us? LOL
As to whether they’ll successfully engineer an escape plan via trans human AI coursing along light beams as pure energy, well, how do they get there?
That’s where I agree with Jim that the infrastructure won’t be there. (Another poster also keeps making this same point.)
Everyone thinks they have a plan, but I don’t really see anyone escaping.
….as the legendary poet, non-Baby Boomer, Jim Morrison, at the TRUTH-seeking age of 22 exclaimed, “No one here gets out alive!”
Those of us who cheerfully survived the road of excess are in the palace of wisdom.
The “escape” is not an escape, but rather a life in unity with illimitable-spirit, nature, and TRUTH.
Building out the NEW, is building the local means of regenerative, sustainable food, water, and energy production, in unity with community, illimitable-spirit, nature, and TRUTH…and it is independent of age, space, time, and locale.
…and the philanthropic means to ensure no member of the greater community is suffering for lack.
The fatal flaw in the ‘Great Reset’ plan seems to be that it is utterly dependent upon a perfectly functioning grid that is utterly dependent upon easily available energy. Why attacking the fossil fuel industry looks to be part of the plan is kind of a mystery, especially since their stated wet dreams regarding renewable energies are clearly failing. I just don’t see it coming to fruition the way they seem to be envisioning it.
The Bond villains in Davos also know that the currency will collapse. After all, they have open discussions about this. They clearly discuss plans to replace the dollar with central bank digital currency. This also seems like it could be a long shot.
The guy holding the cat IS perfectly representative of Klaus Schwab.

Knee-capping domestic hydrocarbon-based energy production ahead of deploying effective non-hydrocarbon based energy production AND infrastructure is designed to bring the masses to their knees.
A weakened electorate is readily controlled and desperate for a central solution, by the very same people who performed the knee-capping.
Problem. Reaction. Solution.
A Machiavellian twist to the Hegelian Dialectic.
The MORE you know, the MORE it hurts…..
Taxdonkey: I don’t think that’s what they really believe. On the contrary, I think they really believe they can compartmentalise the destruction of hydrocarbons, depriving we peasants of fossil fuels but somehow keeping their private jets and HVAC mansions up and running. As for the central bank digital currency, I agree that is what they want and that it will backfire. The aforementioned peasants will just find their own currency system. Ironically, if we can avoid the World War Three these psychopaths also seem to want, we may end up Building Back Better in our own way rather than theirs’
I was reading one of SRS Rocco reports that making semiconductor chips relies upon thousands of inputs sourced from over 100 countries. I forget the exact numbers, it was crazy complexity with everything just in time delivery. This attempted uncontrolled demolition of multiple countries has got to affect the supply chains for the powers that should not be as well as for the rest of us.
The rise and fall of “civilizations” is a cycle that has been repeated dozrns of times (probably more like hundreds of times) throughout human history.
Nock elucidates this cyclical process in “Our Enemy, the State,” which concludes, “”Such,”says Professor Ortega y Gasset, “was the lamentable fate of ancient civilization.”A dozen empires have already finished the course that ours began three centuries ago. The lion and the lizard keep the vestiges that attest their passage upon earth, vestiges of cities which in their day were as proud and powerful as ours – Tadmor, Persepolis, Luxor, Baalbek – some of them indeed forgotten for thousands of years and brought to memory again only by the excavator, like those of the Mayas, and those buried in the sands of the Gobi. The sites which now bear Narbonne and Marseilles have borne the habitat of four successive civilizations, each of them, as St. James says, even as a vapour which appeareth for a little time and then vanisheth away. The course of all these civilizations was the same. Conquest, confiscation, the erection of the State; then the sequences which we have traced in the course of our own civilization; then the shock of some irruption which the social structure was too far weakened to resist, and from which it was left too disorganized to recover; and then the end.
“Our pride resents the thought that the great highways of New England will one day lie deep under layers of encroaching vegetation, as the more substantial Roman roads of Old England have lain for generations; and that only a group of heavily overgrown hillocks will be left to attract the archaeologist’s eye to the hidden débris of our collapsed skyscrapers.”
“Civilizations,” like people have a limited life-span–often estimated to be a bout 300 years, though some have lasted much longer.
I put “civilizations” in quotes because it is not civilization that produces the death cycle, but what Nock terms “The State”–which may be best understood as a parasitical disease that attaches itself to civilizations and the prosperity that civilization produces.
Nock goes into the causes of the decline and death of State systems, but, broadly, it is simply death due to parasitism.
Correction: Regimes or Dynasties. Civilizations can last thousands as per Ancient Egypt or China, still going strong. Japan.
The secret? Purity of blood. Keeping others out. And of course the cultural influences they would bring.
Truth or Dare.

….another effective example of the law of self-organized criticality is depicted in the “rogue wave” scene from the motion picture “The Perfect Storm”.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lYTIYvKTNg
The self-organizing weather/meteorological events leading up to the cataclysmic ending represent the law of self-organized criticality, in the natural, inflicting maximum release of sustained energy. The same self-organized weather/meteorological events led to the December 11. 2021 cataclysmic release of energy through the multi-state tornado event.
In the civil-social realm, the greatest hazard is represented by the non-worthwhile Globalist-Oligarch-Eugenicists, and the 6+ decades of accrual of technologies acquired through purchased sycophants, capable of destroying the human-earth experiment. And this is because they are not smart enough to “manage” the technologies and the sycophants they own.
The most effective method to reduce this “percolating variable” is for people with inside direct knowledge to continue to STEP UP and present it in the courtroom of public debate.
…in the equity, credit, debt, and housing markets, the percolating variable of low interest Central Bank “printed” fiat currency not backed by tangible assets, is another current example of the law of self-organized criticality, and the failure of public-private policy to reduce the risk, but rather exacerbate it.
When the inevitable market deep correction strikes, based upon a “black swan” triggering event, the “financial pundits” will mainly claim they “saw it coming”, long and far after the damage has destroyed the livelihoods of millions of innocent people.
….as the “financial pundits” are those who initiated to triggering event,”black swan” for benefit of their GOE owners.
This is parasitic divergence.
I was being sincere when I said I liked your posts. For awhile, too much attention was being focused on the what, rather than the why.
People were understandably upset about various mandates, restrictions, civil rights violations, etc. But lost in the noise was the crucial question of why. What are the motivations, the objectives, the reasons?
If we can keep the commentary directed towards addressing actual machinations, we can not only have a more satisfying discussion, but perhaps more importantly, draw in lurkers, observers and other knowledgeable people to gain their contributions.
A while back, I brought up the feasibility of (re)producing intelligence as pure energy, replicating our internal bio electrical grid with light waves.
The ability to shed a physical body that is essentially entirely devoted to supporting the brain represents the first step towards feasible interstellar exploration.
Pulling off this feat also creates a viable escape path from this doomed planet. Imagine a pop of only 50m drones controlled thru remote blue tooth connections supporting the basic needs of some techo elite.
It’s all right there for any who care to see.
The interstellar explorers are already here, as is zero-point energy, which is free, non-meterable, non-polluting energy production.

Best to become INFORMED and relentlessly pressure your political representatives.
It is likely your political representatives are entirely ignorant of this technology.
Only a relentless, coordinated, informed public exerting pressure on political representation can get this done.
Hmm…most interesting, but from the little I can find at a cursory search, I find it difficult to understand how this technology (or is it just some technique?) could put even my little homestead off-grid, let alone “entire multi-billion dollar commercial-industrial domestic production facilities”.
I’d appreciate further information, such as a directed search query form you?

The ‘absolute secrecy’ trope also doesn’t wash. “Involuntary early retirement” – is that euphemism for being ‘suicided’?
Educating YOUR elected representatives on the KNOWN existence of Pentagon-sequestered unacknowledged special access projects and the LIKELY useful energy technologies contained their in IS the starting point.

To the white eunuch contingent, all the stats you need to know:
According to the FBI for the year 2019:
6578 total murders
3218 committed by blacks
2948 committed by Whites (this category includes Hispanics as well)
For those of you who like math, racist though it may be:
12.4% of the population commits about 49% of the murders annually.
59% of the population commits about 45% of the murders annually (that number is actually considerably lower when Hispanics are taken out of the cumulative total).
Furthermore most murders are intraracial but when you look at black/White:
812 total murders
566 black perp/White victim
246 White perp/black victim
70% in one direction.
Hard to be fair and balanced when the crime isn’t…

From Dr. Malone:
Before You Inject Your Child
(I add…or yourself)
“My name is Robert Malone, and I am speaking to you as a parent, grandparent, physician and scientist. I don’t usually read from a prepared speech, but this is so important that I wanted to make sure that I get every single word and scientific fact correct.
I stand by this statement with a career dedicated to vaccine research and development. I’m vaccinated for COVID and I’m generally pro-vaccination. I have devoted my entire career to developing safe and effective ways to prevent and treat infectious diseases.
Before you inject your child – a decision that is irreversible – I wanted to let you know the scientific facts about this genetic vaccine, which is based on the mRNA vaccine technology I created:
There are three issues parents need to understand:
? The first is that a viral gene will be injected into your children’s cells. This gene forces your child’s body to make toxic spike proteins. These proteins often cause permanent damage in children’s critical organs, including
? Their brain and nervous system
? Their heart and blood vessels, including blood clots
? Their reproductive system
? And this vaccine can trigger fundamental changes to their immune system
? The most alarming point about this is that once these damages have occurred, they are irreparable
? You can’t fix the lesions within their brain
? You can’t repair heart tissue scarring
? You can’t repair a genetically reset immune system, and
? This vaccine can cause reproductive damage that could affect future generations of your family
? The second thing you need to know about is the fact that this novel technology has not been adequately tested.
? We need at least 5 years of testing/research before we can really understand the risks
? Harms and risks from new medicines often become revealed many years later
? Ask yourself if you want your own child to be part of the most radical medical experiment in human history
? One final point: the reason they’re giving you to vaccinate your child is a lie.
? Your children represent no danger to their parents or grandparents
? It’s actually the opposite. Their immunity, after getting COVID, is critical to save your family if not the world from this disease
In summary: there is no benefit for your children or your family to be vaccinating your children against the small risks of the virus, given the known health risks of the vaccine that as a parent, you and your children may have to live with for the rest of their lives.
The risk/benefit analysis isn’t even close.
As a parent and grandparent, my recommendation to you is to resist and fight to protect your children.”
Sorry the question marks should be bullets.

This is a most excellent interview between Peter McCullough and Brett Weinstein about why this jabbing program needs to be shut down yesterday.
There is no tinfoil here, just an extremely informative discussion between two talented scientists. Also, please do peruse the comments, they are just as informative (and some are downright scary).
https://youtu.be/-zg1j7Zquoc
After this, McCullough was scheduled to be on Rogan, which he has been now.
Crackpot? Hardly:

As far as I know, He is the most trustworthy Doctor on the planet.
” Any woman who objects to the gun in your house… ”
As I have said , I would hand out AK – 47’s to 12 year olds.
And that is exactly what i mean.
” You only have what you can keep.”
Do you suppose the average American 12 year old , or the average 30 year old American school teacher for that matter , would draw any distinction between Nazi , and East German ,
or would care if they did ?
You could perhaps get back to me when you know something about that sort of thing.
” So you can take your sycophancy, my dear, and shove it where the sun don’t shine. ”
As I have said , I have been on the internet just about as long as there has been an internet.
And every month , or two , or three , it’s practically an internet ritual , some boob comes along and tries to fake me out , or gas light me , and tries to convince me I’m a lousy writer.
Well , I’m not John Steinbeck.
But , as I said , I have fans.
That’s not bragging.
Merely objective fact.
Anyway , yes , I’m popular.
Like a performing monkey is popular.
Still , I don’t envy any friend of yours.
Oh yeah?
Well, I’m a friend of AL GORE, and HE invented the INTERNET!
LOL!
…..love, joy, gratitude, peace, and synchronicity are free and available to ALL……
He also invented, we can beat AGW, thirty years ago. So far, no real changes.
Of course you have fans. I’m one of them. Despite your frequent attempts to discredit me.
You’re not a lousy writer and I have no wish to ‘fake you out’.
I do find certain of your positions strange, and I have mentioned them.
What you think of my friends is of little consequence. Many of my friends I have had for over 50 years, some for 60. So they seemingly do not agree with you.
Could KesaAnna be er … wrong about something? Surely not.
” “Or , another theory ; It is really others you are addressing , not me.

Precisely so.
My memory is not quite what it once was , but best I can figure , I have spoken to you maybe three times total.
” I have more important things to worry about now. ”
I heard you the first time . Three years ( ? ) ago.
And never once doubted that.
” The object of your sycophancy presumed that I spent my time trying …. ”
This , ” You don’t know me ” argument is quite tiresome.
If you told me something damning about yourself , that might mean something.
That I don’t really know shit means nothing.
Granted , not exclusively your particular fault.
It is , for example , a fundamental reason why your ” justice ” systems are never anything of the kind.
” You need to move on. ”
You are not the Head Cheerleader or the Prom Queen anymore , if you ever were.

I suppose I often sound like a broken record.
Anyway , while I am only 55 years old , never the less the world I see and the world I know is a world where two out of three people never live to see age ten.
I prefer motivationals like ;
That smoking will kill you.
Yeah , if I live.
Not that anyone will believe me anyway ,
But if I have been obsessed with anyone on CFN ,
or are particularly peeved with anyone on CFN ,
it is Janos.
I don’t for one second believe that the concept that scripture , even one of the ten commandments , could be utterly ambiguous , is a concept that would completely sail over the head of a guy who can tell you what this Vishnu character is about.
And I was stupid enough to think that one would at least acknowledge my point , if not endorse it.
When I should know Matthew 10:36 better than most.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world!
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
Yeah as if Buddhists wouldn’t care if they kids started saying, Fucking Buddha. Or Hindus using Vishnu’s name to curse.
Think about what we’re (yes I do it occasionally) doing when we do this: we’re cursing Life because of some little problem in our life, cursing Eternity because of the moment. Is that not madness?
There is no ambiguity. It’s wrong. You can’t accept it because someone else pointed it out to you. Very well then. At least accept it the privacy of your own mind and work to change.
By the way ,
“Pot meet kettle. ”
Would be an admission that I was correct.
But , on this occasion , I’ll allow that could have been a mere rhetorical flub.
Yes the whole your more popular than me thing was an amusing sidetrack but made sense when sycophancy was in my estimation casually if not carelessly tossed into the conversation. Only an observation and not an accusation mind you.
I suppose some good came out of it that you got a laugh out of it.
Whatever anyone thinks , as I said , what ruined my week was ,
sure , certainly it is too much to ask for partisan agreement , to agree with me because we are on the same team , when we aren’t anyway.
But I damn sure did expect an acknowledgement that my argument had validity.
And no , I do not believe he god damned flat disagreed with me.
He’s a hack politician.
It’s not the first time.
Pro – German one second ,
Pro – American five seconds later ,
very dark insinuations about me , when I have long refrained from any kind of Aushwitz – Baby – killer tacts.
And how the fuck does any of that work ?
And for what ? People who wouldn’t piss on him as far as I can see.
“My memory is not quite what it once was , but best I can figure , I have spoken to you maybe three times total.”
Does that include the time when, recently bereaved, I mentioned how loving my kid brother was, and that he’d lived his life mostly for others (as was also stated, not by me, at his funeral)?
On that occasion you wrote not one by six long, venomous diatribles.
One French and entirely heterosexual colleague wrote, on the donations site at the time of his funeral, ‘Ron was the most lovable and loving person I will ever meet’. He hated his job, but was the most loved guy in the office – so it turned out after he died (I’d had no idea beforehand, as I don’t live anywhere near his family).
But your bitterness and hate couldn’t even let me have that, even when I had lost my best friend, the person whom I loved most in the world after my own children. You had to jump in and destroy it, insult and demean a dead person you never met.
I have never known another human being who would do that to a recently bereaved person. Never. I didn’t read your six diatribes, but you may remember my comment that I was glad to know how long they must have taken you to type, given your own admissions, compared to the time it took me to scroll by them. Quickly scanning what you said about my brother, whom you never knew, was enough for me.
I don’t recall and don’t wish to recall the details, but it was along the lines (I paraphrase entirely) of how could I possibly say he lived his life for others when he didn’t spend his days digging ditches and his nights walking barefoot over broken glass feeding soup to the destitute.
You hated me so much you would not even allow the love between a brother and a sister. That day, if I’d been a friend of yours, I’d have been ashamed.
*diatribes* although ‘diatribles’ does have a certain ring, in the context …
Needless to say, you are nevertheless forgiven your shitty behaviour, that being a condition of my own forgiveness.
I mentioned, by the way, in my very recent post, that I drifted away from Christianity for reasons I said I would spare you. Those reasons do me no credit, spiritually, but I doubt they are of any interest to people on here.
What people on here most certainly do know about me is that I have been utterly and totally wrong in the past, and have said so.
Your wish to constantly discredit does you no credit.
I am not sure why you think I should consider the site a confessional. I ask forgiveness for my multitudinous sins in the same way that others do. Mostly in private.
I would repeat my advice – leave my name (and devious allusions to it without saying it) out of your posts, and you will not need to worry about me ever commenting on your posts. Or you.
As I said already, the only recent post where I mentioned your name otherwise was to admire a tactic of yours.
I continue to admire it, but there are things about you I do not admire. I still don’t hate you as you would wish, sorry.
JHK, I hate it, that you are right, Again! Here on the front line of the emergency department, shortages of supplies continue, our census around 104% average, waiting room filled end to end, violence, accidents, drugs, a variety of respiratory stuff, covid, rsv, and disease of our unhealthy lifestyles. We blue collar workers soldier on, and if you are able become a nurse or respiratory therapist, HUGE, I mean huge money. The NYS Governor will deliver us. May I leave a quote od the dreddblog
In the real world there are commercial scientists who work for and are controlled by corporations and corporate interests, and there are non-commercial scientists who do science to properly fact .I have been skeptical of the commercial virology scientists in several Dredd Blog series that concern genes and viruses of microbes and viruses The skepticism and criticism is borne of their failure to determine the extent of the damage that the mass-production-of-animals-for-food industry has done by the indiscriminate overuse of antibiotics and other chemicals that indiscriminately kill microbes and damage viruses.

What great muckety-muck names COVID variants? What’s next after omicron? What happens after the world runs out of greek letters? There must be a protocol somewhere. Inquiring minds want to know.
I defer to the “legendary” Mark Zuckerberg.
Perhaps he can adopt a “meta” suffix and start the train rolling all over again!?
This time, no skipping “Xi”, as Xi would become “meta-Xi”!
When they run out of Greek letters, they’ll move onto random names like they do with hurricanes, I guess.
Alpha alpha delta delta phi!
When omicron runs its moderate course, Covid will be called,
A cold.
And the Outer Party shrill righteousness you describe, also a means to ration vanishing professional managerial class fantasy “jobs” – there’s a stench in the air: the smell of desperation. – Rulo
That’s exactly it. When they sent all those tens of thousands of factories to China and Mexico, a huge number of jobs went with them and not just assembly line work, and to that I can personally attest. Millions of people in China and Mexico are doing work formerly done in the US and other western countries for a small fraction of what western workers used to be paid. A lot of high skill, high pay professional and managerial work also went abroad like engineering, design, purchasing to name just a few.
Economic collapse is what you’d logically expect from such an arrangement and economic collapse is what we have. And so with the American job eco-system crashing there’s a whole lot of desperation as you say and this at the same time as US universities are graduating massive numbers of people who expect to get managerial level work which no longer exists, at least, not in the US.
And I think a lot of people laughed at Deplorables for their supposed intellectual and educational deficits, people who supported these globalization schemes, who thought they were a great idea. Just think of it, millions of deserving poor overseas getting better work, millions of undeserving and overpaid Americans now unemployed.
I think these people who thought they had it made, you know, university grads, people with a high opinion of themselves, aren’t laughing so much anymore. The joke, as it turns out, is on them.
Right on. My job went to China in 1991. My assembly line, that I engineered for was sold to China for pennies on the dollar. My response eventually was to change careers, seeing the writing on the wall.
Another observation.
The pushing of the credo that you have to get a college degree to get ahead is starting to have real repercussions.
College is not a public school. JHK said in 2005 that 8th grade finishes the training the vast majority needs. High school is a babysitting service.
Now college is extending this. The higher level of education is unnecessary for most real jobs. Employers put hiring bullets in for college degrees that are unnecessary.
So once the paradigm is put out that college is necessary, college level jobs, unnecessary jobs are created to carry the higher load of graduates.
College jobs are going to take a disproportionate hit in the future. Hope they get their unnecessary student loans paid off before then.
Oh wait, the college promoters are trying to forgive all the student loans.
This is becoming unfunny rapidly.
Lots of mistaken impressions among foreigners that Amerika is still the “land of opportunity”. Shame on me…I’m being unpatriotic.
Too bad Volodya isn’t here.
For a long time he plodded along , preaching the word that a McMansion and a college degree doesn’t necessarily make you bright , or right.
And did it pretty much alone.
Or , maybe it’s a good thing Volodya isn’t here.
Now nine out of ten are saying the same thing .
So what would he write ?
” Yeah ! ”
or ,
” I said it first , by the way ? ”
Or maybe Volodya is here , but doesn’t bother to post for that very reason.
What you call America is a soulless, bloodthirsty corporation owned by foreigners at this point. In that place Liz Cheney is a patriot. I would certainly imagine and clearly pray that indeed you would be unpatriotic given the circumstance tom.
Yes, and those individuals are transferring their wealth out of America and into their new base of operations.
One of the interesting things about watching this transition unfold is watching how both of the mainstream political bases fail to understand what is happening, but both do so for different reasons.
The case of the left is the saddest in this context, because they were on the right track for such a long time.
The Deep Blue progenitors of WEF and CFR, residing at Martha’s Vineyard, et. al., shall not avoid the waves of calamity they have infuced.

The movement of capital out of the country was predicted on this blog and lots of other conservative sites if Biden, the Communist, won the WH. If the masses of Amerika want a third world country, they are going to get it and soon.
The old “they have the money, I want it, and the government is going to get it for me” is not going to work. They are going look for the bucks and they will be gone!
Yes, but it isn’t Biden. It is the people who installed Biden. That is what most conservatives still can’t seem to understand. This is a global takeover.
Right. Biden is just a face to put on the screen. Again, it is fringe but there are people who say “Biden” is a small cluster of doubles.
Where are they transferring their wealth to?
Off shore back accounts, Grand Cayman, which I have visited, has hundreds of banks got this purpose. Investments in real estate are happening in Australia and New Zealand as a refuge for the collapse.
I will guarantee that folks in the financial know are investing in China, starting with the Biden and Obama families.
The expat rate is increasing, small now but increasing.
The good thing is that they will presumably have a new base of operations. I would say good riddance but I don’t wish them well.
Your use of “foreigners” struck a chord with me.
What are these foreigners?
A lot of them are financial expats. They are corporations that were totally American at mid century but have been globalized by liberal forces as the years have run by.
They are individuals that vie for power with wealth. They have been convinced by the local liberals that the Democratic path is the correct one. I wonder about their common sense intelligence with that.
Now that the horrible effects of the Communist drift is moving the money to the gimmes the wealthy are saying, NIMBY and getting the hell out, right into the arms of the global Left.
Foreigners, some, but mostly expats.
Who owns the Federal Reserve?
Lots of mistaken impressions among foreigners that Amerika is still the “land of opportunity”. Shame on me…I’m being unpatriotic.
That meme ran out in about 1910 – since then it’s been run entirely by the capitalists, and the government they buy ever couple of years.
Examples of nations without capitalism
USSR
East Germany, prior to USSR breakup
Cuba
Venezuela
All nations where the PTB control the economy, not market forces.
And all total failures.
Note China is not on the list.
They are central controlled capitalism, they allow their corporation to perform against a master plan from the CCP.
Against our socialistic drive in the US, China is kicking our butt.
Yes, China ditched Communism a long time ago for the winning formula of National Socialism (race most definitely included). It’s the Simple Truth.
Japan and Korea at least approach the same from the position of Capitalism – again race most definitely included.
If we want to compete as a Nation? Then we must do the same. Too late for National Socialism since we multitudinous. Instead: Fascism.
I was listening to the radio and a black man said he had been to many African countries and everyone he talked to thought that the US was the land of milk and honey.
He mentioned the murders to one group of men and they were astounded. They thought that no one got murdered in the US.

Robert Malone gives official statement on Covid Quaxxines:
https://twitter.com/BreesAnna/status/1470759488194248707
Powerful statement, particularly considering his role in creating the technology that the Fauci and the criminals behind the Great Reset are abusing.
NO, what do you make of this Olaf Sholtz chap? To me he appears kind of milquetoast and colorless, but that’s just based upon video of him making a soft spoken speech in Brussels at EU headquarters. He wasn’t too impressive.
Also, I’m puzzled over the situation with the Nordstream 2 pipeline. Altho the pipeline is complete and ready to go, it hasn’t been certified, and for political reasons may not be certified. But then I read about potential natgas shortages in Germany and thru out Europe this winter. It seems to defy logic. Also, if combat breaks out in Ukaine all the pipelines from Russia could be destroyed, either purposely or as an accident of war. That would leave WEurope up sh#ts creek, where it’s cold and dark. The EU is threatening Russia with more sanctions, but Putin could impose his own sanctions on the EU. When you come down to it Russia has the EU by the shorthairs IMHO.
He is a WEFer (even has a profile on the site), and was a pro-DDR communist in his younger years.
I think he is extremely dangerous where civil liberties are concerned. He appointed a maniac (Karl Lauterbach) for health minister — a man who has called to remove “unvaxxed” from public life. He also recently said there are no red lines that his government is not willing to cross where “Covid” is concerned. I believe the coalition of the Greens and SPD were installed by mail-in ballot fraud, as in the US. Every Euro nation of consequence is now headed by a WEFer.
As for Nordstream, it is difficult to say. Clearly the new government is aligned with the neocon and bankster establishment where Russia is concerned (based on the sabre rattling). For me, most Euro nation policy seems connected to WEF policy, so I suspect they are fixin’ to knock the last remaining non-Chinese hegemon out of the way, so that they can continue sucking up control of resources for the new empire.
Their IMF friends are already demanding a move to a cashless society. The knives are out for anyone who values freedom. Germany is toast IMO. All that could save it is mass resistance from the populace, but the average “Michel” here hasn’t a clue of what is going on.
In short: we have lots of firewood and are preparing to likely submit a visa app for the wife in Feb.
I think you are right. As you and others have already noted, the US is the place where resistance is most likely to succeed. Not only do they have the highest percentage of resisters, but they have more local resources.
If you live in a city, like me, your options (if you don’t have money, and you do have family ties) are limited to saying no until they do their worst, which they eventually will.
Good luck. I hope to hear you all made it there before this part of the internet goes dark.
Well, in the first place GA don’t rely on those red Mary Poppins buses to get you out of Dodge when the sh#t hits the fan. That’s the first thing the mutants and zombies are going for in their hunt for human brains; you’ll be trapped like a rat in one of those goddam things. I already told you what you need to be prepared.
Nice detailed response Night Owl. Much appreciated.
In a sense it’s too bad you’re leaving Germany; it seems like it wasn’t long ago you wrote about the house you bought and was working on improving, the way you described it seemed like a pretty nice place. To give it up can’t be easy.

Well, we are not 100% sure. But if they try to push a general vaccine mandate through in the new year, we will probably have no choice.
I agree with Ely on this from got I don’t know what:
‘Hemi-sync neural oscillation is a demonstrated method to achieve connection to the same INFINITE, high frequency energy source that Tesla, Einstein, Bohr, and Jung connected to.’
Right, ‘INFINITE’! Lame name game, too.
This gem from mitchellc:
‘A while back, I brought up the feasibility of (re)producing intelligence as pure energy, replicating our internal bio electrical grid with light waves.
The ability to shed a physical body that is essentially entirely devoted to supporting the brain represents the first step towards feasible interstellar exploration.’
Stellar scale horseshit.
….even the dull and the ignorant have their story to tell.
The universe IS unfolding as it should.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
The question is not whether mc believes in this horseshit, it’s whether Musk, Gates, Bezos, et al do. Current evidence suggests that they do, even if it’s just as a ruse or last ditch forlorn hope for them and theirs. In the current world, it’s not whatever you can DO, it’s whatever you can SELL to increase your personal wealth and power.
….all the money won’t another minute buy, for those trapped in the darkness, without a light line…..
If the knowledge of light serving simultaneously as a wave AND a particle hasn’t astounded you….IT will…..

I just clicked on that link, OG, and got this message:
“The parent channel of this video is unavailable at your location due to the following restrictions:
Contains Holocaust Denial
Contains Incitement to Hatred”
That’s since yesterday, when I was perfectly able to view Bitchute videos.
And so it progresses …
To Nightowl I would say that I too am encouraged by more people waking up, by the fact that in the UK it seems many of the ‘vaxx-hesitant (according to UKC) seem to be the already vaxxed who are declining to be boosted (the BBC et al would have you believe the boosters are so sought after that, in places, they are running out), also by that online poll – since taken down – showing that 89% of Brits do not support mandates, even with the arrival of Moronic.
But the fact that ‘they’ can take whole channels down and will do so an increasing degree, and that they have all the resources, including military and paramilitary, does, unfortunately, put severe limits on hope.

Hahahaha. For about two or three days now, they have been saying the exact same thing here in Germany: the Impstoff is in such demand that it appears they might not have enough.
Everyone reads from the script.
….and the sardonic TRUTH of the same censors asserting “Holocaust Denial” in removing access to the video, are the very same censors denying the PRESENT holocaust, of which they are willful participants.
I clicked on the link, and the video worked, but the comments are full-on virulent anti-Semitic.

The old Turks got Abrahamic religion and tried to jihad against China. They got crushed. Or maybe it was the Chinese expanding into their lands? Maybe a bit of both?
One Turk appeared at Court and the Emperor asked him what he wanted. “We demand you convert to Islam!”. Well that was never going to happen.
Anyway, the Chinese learned and never forgot. We learned and then forgot (Barbary Pirates). You don’t negotiate per se – you hit them back twice as hard until they stop and they are afraid of you. Then you can discuss terms, borders, exchange of prisoners, etc.
As of yesterday, illegals can vote in NYC municipal elections.
800,000-1 million new voters.
1 million illegals eligible to vote, add in all the kids they brought with them and you figure at least half of NYC population are what used to be called aliens.
This might explain the Teddy Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson monuments being removed from public spaces in Manhattan this year. Any vestiges of the period when the USA was a Republic dominated by white Protestants have to go.
May those who refuse to see the TRUTH, who hear the tolling of the bell, and who fail to maneuver away from induced waves of calamity, enjoy their days still left, in relative peace, comfort, and joy…..
This will go to the Supreme Court. Federal election officials will refuse NY certification of federal elections.
If the federal response is authorization of illegal voting, that day, the Union will be dissolved. State’s rights will be a thing of the past. For the European contingent of the US, time to find a new home and direction for your family lines.
American will be dead.
This is nuts!
The proverbial camel’s nose under the tent. Can’t believe this is allowed in some states already!
Why hasn’t this been struck down? What is the point of becoming an American citizen ?
These people have not sworn any oath of allegiance to the United States of America. Presumably they are still citizens of other countries. If they are stateless, then they just have to wait for their naturalizations to come through before they can vote. No-brainer! Municipalities who allow this have truly lost their minds.

Culture equals society’s mantra.
Cultural suicide equals the Death of a society.
That is why all the enemies of America are trying their damndest to destroy American history and culture and replace it with socialist bullshit propaganda.
Our Deep State is so stupid that they are increasing the import of more and more American enemies, and lubricating their Revolution with more and more drugs.
The real enemies of America are in DC.
All true, EXCEPT the “Deep State being stupid”.
They are executing the GOE plan to near perfection AND ahead of schedule.
Time and Energy is BEST spent building out the NEW, not fighting the old.
A good Message. A great message.
It’s not stupidity.
It’s engineered.
Governor Polis of Colorado has just told the Mandate trolls of the Democratic Party to take a hike and has “freed” Colorado from all mandates,
Boy, is he going to pay for his courage.
He’ll probably still allow businesses to discriminate though.
As governor, none of his business. Businesses can decide for themselves.
Night Owl – your new Chancellor seems like a real teddy bear. [cough] Good luck over there.
Interesting example of how every opportunity is taken to push the narrative as established truth:
This is the caption for a photo on the NYT list of most important photos of 2021:
“Huge wildfires, ***aggravated by climate change,*** burned across the West this summer and fall. Here, a firefighter worked to save a home in Meyers, Calif., near Lake Tahoe:”
Who sez, “aggravated by climate change”? They can’t say “caused” by climate change because some of these fires were started in various identifiable ways, including arson and accidents. Furthermore, in many of these areas, wildfires are a natural aspect of nature if left to its own devices. No discussion, though, just a bald assertion stuck in the middle of a supposedly descriptive caption.
Night Owl: Visa application sounds like a good idea at this point. Do you have a “home state” in the USA?
I have not heard anything from my friend in Chieming who was resisting the jab.
I do, but we are on our own aside from a few friends that might be able to help. Not sure how we are gonna do it if we do it, but anything is better than staying here if the situation continues to deteriorate.
The craziest part is how many just roll over and accept what is happening. Half of the country can’t even ride public transportation or enter any store other than a grocery store, and at least 30% of the population isn’t even batting an eyelid.
It’s pretty difficult to make such a big change, even within a country, without some kind of support system. But, can be done. Maybe a church connection? Quakers?
Maybe a house exchange, to get a foothold?
German “news” is breaking faster than the country itself.

Yeah, this is the staged event they are using to break Telegram.
Telegram is being used to organize protests here. There were 5-6 decent sized protests this past weekend, which is unusual for Germany at this point in time, and all were supposedly organized using the app. The Feds can’t get into the resistance groups, and it drives them nuts.
Protest against Corona measures has been outlawed, and one must make an official request to hold a protest of any kind, so the government thought they had covered all of their bases.
Scholz can suck it.

Wow, and the Orwell Truth Inversion Prize goes to the new PM:

Yep. It is their favorite tool.
Last night I went to a reconciliation and adoration thing at my church, advent prep. When I walked in early, I noticed the light on in the confessional, so I made a bee line there.
What priest was it wearing expensive cologne and speaking in tones of Africa in a heavy French accent. Lucky me, a stranger, so I felt much freer to confess the darkness in my heart.
And even with my seductions spoken, he was all goodness and light, and told me to ask the Holy Spirit to come down on me after I had said ten Hail Marys.
In other years I had to wait hours in the line to the confessional, losing my shit during the wait and in a pissed off state, not making a good confession at all.
I always have a laundry list of stuff to unload, my many selfish tricks. And always forget half or more. But they say if you forget, it was not meant to be confessed. Sometimes we have to work on one thing at a time.
For me it’s been the best advent since I was a kid, and made all my gifts one year in the summer, and don’t know what prompted me to do that then. Best too because I know it’s all coming to an end. The beast is at the door, being enthroned right now, and Africa, and the Americas, Europe, down under will all soon be fully restrained by the persecutor.
It makes these moments sweeter, spent with you, and if by Christmas we are all cut off, then know this was so good for me.
And Kessa I read last night in Ezekial perhaps, that we will be made free, and we the fallen will bear many children in the world to come.
Janjar, read the new Luz at countdown.
And Shelley Anna, at afterthewarning.
Merry Christmas folks.
CHRIST Saves. Do not lose hope, even when it gets unbelievably dark,
That is when HE comes.
Merry Christmas!!

They say Betelgeuse will go supernova in 2022. If it does happen it would be brighter than the full moon for months. I want to say they said it would be something that has not happened in at least the past 10,000 years. So it would be a great sign and wonder in the heavens.
The stars will fall from the sky, and soon. The sun and the moon will go dark, blocked out by smoke from the various volcanos. Your house is your refuge, unless the flame appears to take you to another.
All doors and windows should be sealed to prevent toxins from entering. Stay in prayer and with your food and water supplies inside.
He comes, shortly. Courage, faith, hope charity. Let your neighbors in. Pray as one.
That was in St Luke’s Gospel a couple of weeks ago. It seems to fit the times.
Who is “they”? In the astronomical community it is a given that supernovae timings can’t be determined with such exact accuracy. Yes, Betelgeuse will go nova someday, but it could be in 100,000 years or so.There were some signs of possible instability over the past few years, but it was found that it wasn’t instability, but an effect caused by other factors. The odds of a supernova explosion occurring in 2022 aren’t zero, but are very low.
The point though is
A supernova close enough to earth could scald this planet, basically starting it over with surface life.
Life is tenuous. Enjoy it while you can.
If we see Betelgeuse pop in 2022 it means it went supernova during the Black Plague somewhere around 1380 AD. Any body in the neighborhood would of had a very bad day. For them it would have been Armageddon and all that “fire and brimstone” shit. When we gaze at the stars we are literally looking back in time.
That’s a good point. You’re not satisfied with Fr Michel’s shenanigans, but follow whole other groups of false prophets as well. You probably got the little flame thing from one of them, and thus was “legitimately” confused when I conflated that with Fr Michel – even though you or the other prophet already had done so.
Since you love “communication” type spirituality so much, I recommend St Catherin’s Dialogues between her soul and God. Not about what’s “going to happen” but the existential Truth about our condition and what always is.
Christ: I am the One who is. You are the one who is not.
We are “accidents” in Thomist Theology. We need not have been. Yet at the same time, He did choose to create us and planned us from all eternity. Two truths to be kept in mind at all times.
Very true J. I can see both truths. And My twin and were both “mistakes”. Happy accident I think now. 😉
Is she into all this stuff too? Most twins differentiate but some never do.
Jarek. If you had read or watched fr Michel, you too would know about your gaurdian angel, coming to guide you, appearing as flame.
Ok, did it happen or did it not? You said it would happen for everyone. I didn’t get one. Did you? If not, he was wrong.
If you can’t do what I just did above, your mind isn’t working right. Is there more to life? Of course! But why should there be less? Find me a Catholic Saint who espoused mindlessness. FYI, you’re in the most cerebral of the many churches.
and told me to ask the Holy Spirit to come down on me after I had said ten Hail Marys. – anmari

Good article
This is a message for Redneck Liberal and The Insufferable Troll
As you know my husband is like you (well, like RL, but not the lying troll). He has refused to listen to all evidence. He hasn’t refuted it, just refused to listen to ANY of it.
I was furious to find out a couple of days ago that he got his booster in November without telling me, thus not giving me the chance to stay out of his way for the first month or so.
That fury has now been replaced with horror. Today he had a heart attack and has been taken to hospital. He has no history of heart problems. I am about to phone A&E to find out when I can see him.
So the pair of you, with your ignorance in one case, and your disgusting immoral lies in the other, can fuck right off.
oh gosh. hope he recovers ok. sorry to hear
That is awful, GA. God bless you, your husband and your family at this difficult time.
May healing and restoration be delivered!
“So the pair of you, with your ignorance in one case, and your disgusting immoral lies in the other, can fuck right off”.
This Right here, X 1000.
Prayers offered for you !!!!!!!
Sorry to hear this Alba and hoping and praying he recovers fully and quickly! Redneck and ianw are not worth this. Preserve your energy for your husband and his recovery. This may turn around the sitch that has resulted in so much hardship as of late.
Thanks to you too, SSL. Sorry for saying what I said earlier. I should not have let it or what Kesa said get to me. I wish I could give you a hug. All the arguing is nonsense.
It’s nothing Alba no worries! Hugs to you and I truly hope for the very best outcome. You’ll have to keep us posted.
So sorry to hear this, GA. My best wishes to you and him with hopes for his recovery.
Thanks to all of you for your kindness. I still have no news. They told me to phone again about now.
Thanks again. Bless you.
ALBA, am praying Divine Mercy prayer for you and yours and all injured. Easy, under 10 mins, maybe 5. Start with intentions, then slow Our Father, who I picture and concentrate on the hallowed be thy name part, name unkowable esp. Then the big one, thy kingdom come,…. I say Now, in me, and on earth.
Then one hail mary
Then the creed
Then, Eternal Father, I offer you the body and blood, soul and divinity of your dearly beloved son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins, and the sins of the whole world.
Then, For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
That last line times 10
THoèE Eterna l Father again ttime 5 in total.
tHen to finish, Holy God, Holy might One, Holy immortal oOne, HAVE MERCY ON US AND ON THE WHOLE WORLD. TIMES 3
anmari, I haven’t the least doubt that your heart is in the right place but I wish you could hear how ridiculous your prayer instructions sound to my ear, especially as to the number of times certain elements are to be repeated.
I wonder, if someone forgets the “one hail Mary” or they miscount and only say the line 9 times that you instruct is to be said 10 times, is the whole “Divine Mercy prayer” less effective?
Conversely, if all elements of the Divine Mercy prayer are doubled is its effectiveness likewise doubled?
I am reminded of going to confession around age 13-14. My sins were the same every time: “impure thoughts and actions.”
For my “penance” (i.e. punishment) I’d be instructed to say, for example, 5 Our Fathers and 10 Hail Marys. Get this, saying prayers was considered a “punishment!” The greater the number of prayers the worse must have been your sins. It was punishment because the priest knew that you would much rather be out playing baseball than kneeling in a pew and mentally mumbling words by rote.
I know it’s ridiculous Q. Think about if he told us to rip our hearts out or go kill an infidel…, One priest used to give me concrete stuff like, Go help somebody, or give that to charity.
But you know the point. We know we done bad, and we can’t make up for it, but at least we can own it and know ourselves and our weaknesses.
And then maybe relax and surrender enough to feel….love? I dunno.
As a heart attack victim in the past, my prayers for him go to you both.
He will go through an intensive evaluation process trying to figure out what the condition of his coronary arteries are in, maybe resulting in stents.
You are right blaming the stick for firing off the infarction, it is the chance, the risk he took.
We males are a society of potential heart attacks due to lifestyle and the jab is a trigger.
Unfortunately, no one knows what the situation is cardiac wise until the problem is triggered.
My prayer is for his complete recovery, it is fortunate that we can treat heart disease well.
Also, for you as you face this crisis.
Oh no, GA that is absolutely horrifying indeed! I am so very sorry for you and your husband! I hope he will recover.
I don’t know what else to say – except that this is just terrible news and I am so sad for you.
Hugs to you from across the pond.
Thanks, Mary. Things are looking better for now. He has no recollection of any of it. I will of course keep worrying, but what can you do? He has to go to a follow-up clinic as soon as they advise him.
Not going to pester him any more about stuff he refuses to look at though! But the Bobby Kennedy book arrived today and he seemed to have started it – hope it wasn’t that that pushed him over the edge. 🙂
Oh wow, he was actually reading it?
To someone in deep denial – maybe it would push them over the edge.
Glad to hear he’s doing better.
Thanks all, anmari and John too.
I’m just off the phone with the hospital. No confirmation yet whether it was a heart attack. Heart now back to normal (bad ECG when the ambulance crew were here and his heart rate was down to 45). Waiting for blood test results and they’re going to do a CT head scan in case it was stroke/TIA.
If results are ok he’ll be discharged tonight. We may never find out what it was if the conventional tests don’t show anything. Have to phone back in 45 mins and daughter is on her way round, so I will go blessedly quiet for a while!
Thanks again for all your good wishes and prayers.
I hope he will get at least a CT angiogram to look at his heart arteries. He definitely should be contraindicated from any more vaccines of any sort.
I’m very glad he’s stabilized. 🙂
So sad. Now he knows? Maybe not. You did your absolute best in any case.
I hope everything turns out well for you and him.
So the pair of you, with your ignorance in one case, and your disgusting immoral lies in the other, can fuck right off.
Very classy. Very civilised.
Using a medical emergency suffered by your husband to clamber on to your high horse and slander others with whom you disagree. It may come as a shock, but it isn’t all about you, and you don’t necessarily hold all the eternal truths, and those who disagree with you are not infidels.
I disagree with much (most) of what you say, but I don’t abuse and insult – it is an Internet forum FFS – a place for casual discussion and a diverting interest. It’s not real life. Drop the anger and you’ll be a lot happier.
Anyway – I trust your husband has a full and comfortable recovery … it sure seems he has a whole lot on his plate.
You do not deserve classy or civilised because you are a liar.
Not because you have different views, but because you lie. Shamelessly and repetitively.
You abuse constantly. You just do it politely, except when you get over-enervated.
I don’t think I’ve ever come across anyone quite as intolerant of the views of others – certainly not on here. You are quite extraordinary.
Still lying.
Your views you are welcome to. Your lies not so much. You’ve repeated the lie multiple times that we don’t know what would have happened if the saturation-level ‘vaccination’ programme hadn’t happened.
It’s been explained to you multiple times that we do know, because we have Uttar Pradesh as the control, where the ‘vaccination’ rate is 20% and they have wiped out covid.
You will continue to spew this lie ad infinitum and pretend it’s a ‘view’. It’s not a view. And you remain a liar.
And we still await your *scientific* refutation of anything Peter McCullough said in his 90-minute presentation. So far we have two ad homs and no facts.
And we still await your *scientific* refutation of anything Peter McCullough said in his 90-minute presentation. So far we have two ad homs and no facts.

E = mc*2
E= a constant c squared times mass.
E is mass or maybe mass is a form of energy.
Perhaps the universe was pure energy at it’s onset and as it has expanded it has cooled and mass has been the result. Except that energy is conserved and if mass is just cooled energy the temperature loss had to go somewhere.
Hmmm
Maybe mass is compacted energy, the energy of two neutrons per plutonium atom converted makes Nagasaki.
C*2 is a huge number, to compress that much energy into a “particle” of mass, the equivalent would be to put the energy of an atomic bomb back into the number of plutonium atoms times two neutrons.
Wonder what entity has that much power?
Just thinkin’
“Just thinkin’”
John,
You know, also, that “God” is “dog” spelled backwards?
Others have deep thoughts, also.
Waay too deep for me, JAZ.
E = mc*2
Energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared (a huge number). So you can get an awful lot of energy out of a tiny amount of mass – hence nuclear weapons.
Ah yes, the E Universe after which we lost all respect for 20th century physics including the equation E=mc2.
At the planetary level, gravity IS the dominant energy.
At the galactic level, it IS electricity, transported instantaneously via neutrino’s.

I’m with got on this one.
This is how saints bilocated, meditators float, and mountains are moved. Even mountains of unbelief.
500 years ago, Julianne of Norwich summed it up nicely.
It is the only way to my understanding that this new world we will soon enter according to prophetic religious consensus can happen, where there is no sun, for the sun is within you.
Ironically, it is the only option seen by guys like got and tesla, as well as by the dark side, but theirs is the transhuman solution, and Gods is the light and love as energy consuming you and your will,….solution.
Might not have that exactly down pat.

Got, read that energy company link yesterday and saw we in the west lost from half to four times our hydro potential by not converting over to DC instead of Ac when it was proven viable, unlike much of Europe and all of China.
Aren’t we bright?
Maria de Agreda talked about shooting out of her body like a rocket ship, going West, and teaching the Indians about the Church. When the Missionaries got to the Southwest, Indians approached them, asking to be baptized, and speaking about the “blue lady”.
The Spanish apparently squandered this good will until the Hopi rose up and drove them out for a long time.
I sing the body electric,
The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them,
They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them,
And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul.
Was it doubted that those who corrupt their own bodies conceal themselves?
And if those who defile the living are as bad as they who defile the dead?
And if the body does not do fully as much as the soul?
And if the body were not the soul, what is the soul?
Whitman
Yet he believed in life after death, consciousness being far more than some electro-chemical phenomena of the brain. So why the seeming identification of the body and soul? Because they are linked at any given time, profoundly so. When we “die”, or in other words when our body dies, we’ll get another body consonant with the realm for which we are destined for.
Thus? Thus electricity is not “it” per se, but it works as a symbol of higher energies. No doubt these higher energies impact our bio-electric nature first and foremost, so it most definitely matters.
Well said.
In my implementation of energy and power systems, and advanced study of the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe, it is clear those calibrating at the highest levels of consciousness (and Energy, Frequency, and Vibration) rapidly align in solving technical problems and acquiring of greater actionable insight.
Those calibrating at lower levels of consciousness (and Energy, Frequency, and Vibration), rather than effectively contributing, serve as a barrier to effective problem-solving, and seldom offer ANY insight.
There is a direct relationship between Energy, Frequency, and Vibration, Spirituality, and Enlightenment.
The hazard of the low frequency non-worthwhile GOE dark forces is represented by the technologies and the sycophants they own and operate.
….I believe the Electric Universe model shall be proven, emf is the prevailing energy-force at the galactic level, instantaneous knowledge and insight are transported via neutrino’s to those in resonant unity with this emf, in the Christian realm, the Holy Spirit, in the Hinduism-Buddhism realm, karma, and the Jungian realm, synchronicity.
…..and when our individual earthly walk is complete, our individual emf returns to the INFINITE regenerative source.
May the LIGHT of TRUTH shine upon and reflect through all BIOLOGICAL sentient life and an abundant ECOLOGY for ALL to enjoy!
….and in the Emerson-Thoreau-Fuller realm, CONNECTION is achieved through transcendental meditation AND resonant unity with nature.
we’ll get another body consonant with the realm for which we are destined
for.The period belongs after the word “destined.” Using the word “for” twice is similar to a double negative.
Q, what’s the mark-up for the strike-through effect?
The same as for bolding except use the letter s instead of b.
Yeah I thought it sounded a bit wonky, but I was moving too fast….
E=MC squared refers to the velocity or better yet resonce of energy contained within mass… as beautifully illustrated in the Electric Universe linked vid by got above.
In which he shows the elegance of the electric universe theory in that it does away with universal expansion, black holes, many many difficult laws and shows how the strings I speak of are really just currents. Also very coolly show how spiral galaxies are just faraday machines.
He ends the talk with the book, Yorro, Yorro. It describes the anthropology and origin stories of a Kimberley , Oz, aboriginal group, illustrating with their art the creator, who is earless, lipless, noseless, but has two huge eyes and a bar vertical between them.
” In the beginning, before the last ice age, people saw sun, moon and some stars much closer than they are today. How a great flood had com,e to earth by the God whose rings around his head created shock waves, a symphony of giant trumpets…..(this is what I heard!), and a tale of creation of a new polar configurement.
And….here it comes again folks.
But remember, if it is an electric universe. Then that nrg is yours for the taking, instantly if you can or even a few of your cells can Resonate at the same frequency.!
Sing the body electric indeed Vlad!
And Tok, this is what you were talking about right? Ie; no big bang required!
Thanx got!
You’re welcome!
The best things in life are FREE!
Zero-point energy is one of them……
Tesla discovered it, and it was quashed by JP Morgan, as there was no “profit” in furnishing humanity with free, non-polluting, non-meterable limitless energy…..
The continued Pentagon sequestration will end, by the relentless determination of the few.
JP Morgan gained the world and LOST his soul.

Scanning the comment section this morning.. what a bunch of self important preachers we have here. Government has always been a vehicle of control and thievery. There ain’t nothin new here except the means by which they do what they do. Mr Kunster will soon make his 2022 predictions. If you take the time to read his previous predictions they are nothing but a wish list. His prediction batting average stands at zero percent. I wish it was a thousand percent, but it ain’t.
The Kingdom of God is a form of government, not a religion.
Time for an upgrade.

Aman, read my reply just above and then watch the electric universe vid and you’ll see that you agree we can keep classical physics in the whole universe seamlessly!
Sorry, I meant to say I was not happy with the performance of 20th century Physicists only as far as the Electric Universe is concerned, not in relation to classical mechanics. We need CM for things like space travel, etc you see.

This is an interesting theory on why the ”vaccinated” are getting sicker, on average, then the unvaccinated, and why children are so unaffected by the virus.
I read some of the comments and I think Fast Eddie is MitchellC, or just a soul mate out there in internet land.
The theory that our overlords think this is a kinder way to put us down (rather than allowing 8 billion humans to starve) is one I’ve seen Mitch postulate.
I had a regular man (not a wealthy elite) look at my elderly dog one time. She was slowing down, but was still perfectly able to bebop around doing dog things. He told me “I put my dogs down when they start to look like that”. (She had lost weight from her prime years).
I was horrified that anyone would kill a dog because she was getting old, while she still had a few years to go.
But if he could think like that, why couldn’t the 1%? I think they do.
Anyway, here’s the link….

Just FYI that goes to the comments and they don’t make it easy to get to the article.

https://eugyppius.substack.com/p/original-antigenic-sin-is-a-real
Who’s fast Eddie?
I refused to put my dog down until the last possible day. My wife still thinks I waited too long.
The reason I/others postulate the why is a matter of logic. If we can rule out the impossible, then we’re left with the (im)probable.
Any cursory study of history inevitably returns to governance, including the behaviors and habits of those who have claimed the right to rule.
In our particular case, given the basic facts of the underlying matter (limits to growth), and considering the actions taken so far, one would have to be fantastically wed to confirmation bias to not recognize what is occurring.
Or, one would have to be so self assured, so egotistical as to assume all others are ignorant of the basic underlying facts, and declare oneself among the few knowing the details and thus capable of projecting the future.
This type of attitude is demonstrated in the almost constant attitude of “no one knows what’s going on, therefore its a giant CF”. But this is predicated on ignoring club of Rome, WEF, and many others who are literally telling us what their goals and objectives are directly to our faces.
Sooo, we eliminate the impossible ie our kind benevolent leaders want only the best for us, and desire seeing global pop double to 16m in the next 50 years.
Or we reject that notion as entirely ludicrous, which therefore allows us to then consider the (im)probabilities.
“This type of attitude is demonstrated in the almost constant attitude of “no one knows what’s going on, therefore its a giant CF”. But this is predicated on ignoring club of Rome, WEF, and many others who are literally telling us what their goals and objectives are directly to our faces.”
Why the either/or? I’m fully aware of the cohort of elites proposing population-reduction openly. But i’m not convinced they are a majority or a unified front with a unified plan to effect their goals. So they throw their objectives into the mix, and some things stick (like covid, and vax passes…which was enabled by a coupling with pharma financial interests)… but it is, in my opinion, a huge leap without evidence to assume a great and evilly perfect machine for population reduction has been expertly set in motion already.
why so few nuances and qualifications allowed in great-reset land. why does it have to be all or nothing? i don’t think it does.
RG, if this is a way to put us down, I agree with you that it seems a bit inefficient.
But it may pick up speed. We’ll see.
Fast Eddie was just some guy in the comment section who came up with the same postulation as you.
I am also inclined to agree with you. This may be our overlords thinking they are taking the kindest way to put us down, in the impossible to resolve predicament we are in at this point.
Ooops. Thanks, Mary.
that article is interesting.
essentially, the conclusion is that immune responses to new viruses can be weakened by an overload of prior stored immune information to similar viruses.
a downside, or negative counterbalancing dynamic to vaccination in other words.
better maybe, in many cases, to stay “vax-clean” and face viruses with a fresher immune-system-slate , take viruses as they come
rather than clog your “immune computer” with too much info
Well, ladies and germs;
Very scary news from RT;
It appears that the Norwegians.(usually referred to by the honorific term “Weegies”) have fined the “gay dating site” Grindr, millions of dollars, or crowns, or dong, (or whatever they currently call their currency.)
Apparently the site was playing fast and loose with members’ data, selling it without permission to other sites.
Many of CFN’s more liberal readers are aghast at the prospect that they will be targeted with embarrassing ads generated by hateful, and even dangerous sites, such as NAMBLA, or the Republican
Party.

If a woman send you out to buy a red onion, it is a shit test. Shit test her right back and buy a white or sweet yellow – indicative of the woman you’re ready to replace her with. If she makes a big deal about it, she goes.
If you’re married to Baba Yaga, this doesn’t apply. You have other problems, bigger problems. Why did you marry Baba Yaga?
How about if you’re splitting wood in the backlot, your phone goes off, you answer it, and it’s your wife telling you you’re splitting wood the wrong way? Then what?

The South produced considerable literary talent in the 20th century – most of it anti-White, alas, or at least interpreted in that direction.
Flannery O’Connor and her obsession with freaks, etc, was a pious Catholic and was trying to portray the ills of the soul as imprinted on the flesh. She was southern so she placed her stories in the South. Did she believe her people were uniquely evil? Not sure – probably not. To her immense credit, when she was invited by a civil rights icon to dine with him publicly, she refused, citing her respect for the social norms of her society – even though she believed in much of what he was trying to do.
Apologies – I forget the man’s name who asked her.
Katherine Anne Porter or Harper Lee weren’t exactly friends of ours either.
Erskine Caldwell, a Georgian, actually travelled to Ukraine in the 1930s to lend Stalin a hand in crushing Kulaks. Faulkner was once compared to Dostoevsky and Shakespeare and won a Nobel Prize for literature in the 1940s; now he’s on the campus sh#tlist, denounced as a racist White Supremacist, and kicked off American Lit reading lists from Berkeley to Harvard.
This is right up my alley. I’ve read every novel of Faulkner’s prodigious output, and every O’Connor novella and short story, as well as many works of other poets and prose writers that Andrew Hamilton name-checks.
The man is out of his depth.
Filled with the kind of writing style — skating fast over a thin frozen pond breaking into pieces under him — that the reader has a hard time parsing (hard to give a sustained, meaningful critique when he can’t back up any of his outrageous, cherry-picked non sequiturs), Hamilton has created one of those agonizingly familiar inflammatory essays in order to gain the needed clicks from his flock, whatever political stripe they may be painted by.
As a voracious literary reader and critic, and one with a particular interest in Southern U.S. writing, I’m very familiar with this tactic. It’s hilarious, too, because I’ve read a lot of other politically motivated essays taking the other side. The polar opposite view has it that Faulkner, for one, is an anti-Black “racist” as well as a “misogynist”.
That’s the formula: find a literary heavyweight, take a few examples
— mostly not even from the works in question, but from the logical fallacy of false and skewed association — and then fuse those connections together like a bad, cheap reno project.
Look, anyone can play this game. It’s too silly to be infuriating. Hamilton brings up Faulkner’s recurring characters that make up the Snopes clan. He does this by first citing an approbatory Faulkner piece from Time magazine, uses the Snopes lie (Faulkner’s hatred of his Snopes characters — especially Flem — was actually based on rapacious greed, not race) as it was supposedly seen by subsequent generations of Southern Whites (who had never read any Faulkner anyway), and which displays the same guilt by future misrepresentation that had plagued Nietzsche vis-a-vis the “will to power” and racial domination and violence).
You can see how far this is from any comprehensive study of the text of any Faulkner work or works.
I doubt Hamilton has even read any Faulkner either, but he could start with the character of Lena Grove in Faulkner’s great Light in August (emblematic of light, hope, fecundity, courage, and indefatigable effort — and, against Hamilton — Southern, White and unschooled). Or Gavin Stephens, in his many iterations — Southern, White, educated, moral lawyer. Or any dozens of other complex but highly sympathetic Southern White characters, all of them idiosyncratic, and impossible to reduce to stock thematic punching bags to fit the simplistic political points Hamilton tries to score with.
I could go on in much greater length with his equally ridiculous drive-by smears of O’Connor and Tate and others he also hasn’t read (or read with an open mind), but this is already too long.
The most laughable charge from Hamilton, though, is that these writers were somehow promoted and even guided by a Jewish “controlling Elite”. Jews made, and still make, great editors, needed ones to the genius of the likes of Faulkner. Publishers and editors — certainly back then — were concerned with finding and promoting great literature. And they did a damn fine job of it.
is j-man indescriminately swallowing anything and everything put down by anyone who puts white-focused racial perspectives front and center again
I don’t understand your question, gus. Perhaps you could rephrase it.
sorry sf,
i was ribbing jarek for possibly letting his favored subjects sway his judgment on the value of the literature takes he posted and you criticized. enjoyed your response
Ah, OK.
I tend to agree. As I say, wading into the so-called “messaging” of an author as complex as Faulkner with rickety ideological sleuthing is depressing and unfortunately all-too-common.
And thanks.
I don’t doubt your erudition in fine, but he is correct in his main thesis: That the South has been vilified, first in literature, then by Hollywood. You don’t even address this, so eager to get into the case by case. Thus you are wrong. Maybe because you don’t know being Canadian? A little hard to believe…..
So it was done, but how? The editors have played a big role, as did the playwrights, and later the producers, etc. No one ever doubted their ability, Soul. Just their love for Us. Together they did a fine job in slandering the South. Again, in my own defense, some of the writers may be innocent in and of themselves. I bow to your knowledge in this.
Gus? He has no excuse being an American. He lives in North Carolina. A transplant I hope – for his sake…..
Jarek, I’m dealing with the essay you linked to, not the larger context in which Hamilton jams it into. You can’t do that with a large swath of exceptional Southern literature without looking silly.
Hamilton cherry picks. If you want to prove a case for anything, it’s easy to do. Gather a few phrases, paste it next to what someone said on a Time magazine article, set that next to a further biographical detail (again, out of context), and voila! Guilty as charged.
Faulkner wasn’t led by the nose (pardon the pun) by nefarious Jews in order to castigate Southern Whites. Nor was O’Connor. Nor were they on a mission to destroy Whites. Their views as to slavery and race relations were complex, with many a great insight.
Many critics (and worse, thematic cultural writers, like Hamilton) want to paint an easy picture of Faulkner as a race traitor, which is ridiculous. The man wrote many novels which didn’t have a single Black character in them, nor were there any narratives involving race, including one of his best, As I Lay Dying. When he DID bring up race, yes, he dealt with slavery, not in order to damn Whites, but mainly to show how Whites took on guilt from their forebears. This isn’t anti-White, it’s just depicting what was happening at the time. (Great literature, as Stendhal said, holds up a mirror to human nature.)
Have you read any Faulkner?
By the way, many supposed students of American twentieth-century literature don’t know what the fuck they talk about, either. I’ve brought up Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man here before. Incredible novel. Written by a Black (good friends with Saul Bellow.) Dealt up front about race relations. Students and many reviewers thought it a strong work against racism toward Blacks, but I always wonder what novel they thought they were reading. Blacks come off looking a lot worse than Whites.
Same with another darling of today’s Wokesters, James Baldwin, whose novels Another Country and Go Tell It On The Mountain damns Blacks far more than Whites. But the man called for racial justice (even though I disagree with a lot of his non-fiction), therefore his creative work had to be misrepresented. (These novels were set in the North, but they dealt with the Southern diaspora, and Southern historical issues, as well)
I agree with the general direction of Hamilton’s vision (I read his home page after my first post above), but he doesn’t do the cause any favours by steamrolling over any nuance and ambiguity on sight. I won’t even get into the fallacy of misattribution of the author’s characters and their thoughts with the author’s own.
Faulkner on Hemingway: “He has never been known to use a word that might send a reader to the dictionary.” Hemingway: “Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words?” Zing!
Oh so you DO agree! I had to pull that out of you. You didn’t deem it important enough to mention before. Do you see now how much learning can get in the way of things – little things like communication, perhaps even between the different parts of yourself?
Who was it who said, “Beware the man of few books”? The Spartans were famed for their parsimony with words and the aptness of the same. Two of the traditional wise men of Greece were Spartans.
I think you need a bit more of Sparta.
I’ve expressed my approval of that vision many times before on this blog. I don’t think it necessary to make a mission statement at the head of every post I make. (And I have many mission statements.)
What I object to is the funnel effect tactic of making every issue one about race when race is either subordinate, absent, or misappropriated to something else.
Most streams not only don’t lead to the sea, they end in the gutter.
Your “man of few words” approval is rather ironic in this context. Hamilton was wordy without saying anything of note, even though his essay was maybe 800 words, and Faulkner was nothing if not verbose, though every page of his often lengthy novels shone with necessity.
Most don’t get it that concision can be featured in lengthy detail and flabbiness can be glossed over in brevity. But then most people can’t reconcile seeming paradoxes. As Cynthia Ozick said, to be comfortable in not rushing to reconcile paradoxes is the hallmark of ironic recognition and intelligence.
(I like Hemingway, but I much prefer Faulkner.)
I’m not anti-white
No, you are pro-White! And Southern. So I thought you might be interested for those two reasons.
Tusc and BRH aren’t anti-White either, but not pro-White per se. But both are very interested in literature.
I think that I’m about as pro-White as can be without going to warped, hateful extremes.
You guys are civic nationalists. That’s all we can be at this point. That would have been a very big stretch with Blacks in any case. But after generations of vicious anti-White propaganda and the break down of the Black family, I think its a lost cause.
Hispanics? Wouldn’t have been easy either. Now? They smell blood in the water.
No doubt wanting any “thing” of our own is seen as a “warped hateful extreme”.
Oh yeah I do find it interesting, sorry, I misunderstood. I am not really knowledgeable enough regarding the particular writers or books to provide a lot of insight though.
You doubted me by thinking that I doubted you. Don’t!
If the Sun were to doubt, it would immediately go out.

Life is impossible without some basic faith in the goodness of things or at least the One. No matter how bad the weather, the Sun is always shining. And don’t doubt yourself either, at that high level.
@ GA
I was just reading the comments this afternoon from the bottom up and finally got to your 11:28 am post concerning your husband.
I am, of course, concerned for both of you and wish you the best possible outcome.
Thanks, Q. Back to normal for now.
“Thus, the hysteria over Trumpism.”
What are the objective characteristics of Trumpism, exactly?
The MSM labels anything politically distasteful towards it as “Trumpism”, however it’s much too amorphous.
I think characteristics of Trumpism are these:
1) Civic nationalist. Not anti-immigrant. An idea that being a lawful citizen ought to be a higher characteristic than ethnicity or race in society.
2) Populist. A blend of various movements on the Left and Right politically, but certainly Right Wing populist. Something more akin to 19th century Progressivism of Theodore Roosevelt. Definite suspicion of the federal government, particularly the federal Intel agencies.
3) Regulated globalism. Trumpism does not appear to be supportive of total laissez faire with global economic policy. He widely used tariffs and trade re-negotiation.
4) Anti-Monopolist towards Big Tech/ MSM: I think Trump came to this position by his handling of the MSM. I don’t think he held this position until several years into his Presidency.
5) Anti-War. This is one of the more interesting facets of Trumpism. Or at least it was in its original iteration. Trump has been outspoken about his anti-war positions. Although Trump approved the strike on Soleimani, Trump did not, for example, use Soleimani’s actions inside Iraq as pretext to re-occupy Iraq. This is an important distinction. Now will Trump continue this anti-interventionist policy in 2024? I don’t know. I hope so.
Ms. Green, Alba
May every blessing that flows forth from faith, hope and courage be yours.
Thanks very much, wm. Very kind of you.
I was rather hoping it would open his eyes, but no evidence of that yet!
@stelmos and jaz: re Betelgeuse
Betelgeuse is what’s classified as a red supergiant star. It’s about 43 quadrillion miles away, more or less, a quadrillion being equal to a thousand trillion, or equal in dollars to what the US national debt is heading towards in a year or two.
At that distance, all light from it appears as a point. When Betelgeuse blows up, and it probably will in the next 100,000 years, that point of light will get bright enough to shine with the intensity of a half moon, about 1/9th of a full moon. However, it will still be just a point in the sky. That point will be bright enough to shine during the day and even cast shadows. This will probably disrupt the flight patterns of birds, but not otherwise physically affect life on Earth. A supernova explosion would have to occur within 450 trillion miles of Earth to seriously hurt life here, or 1000 times closer than Betelgeuse. Instead, we only would see a little temporary disruption of the ozone layer, and possibly an extremely small amount of radiation – not enough to harm life at all.
We would, however, see a great light show for a year until Betelgeuse fades away forever, and the constellation of Orion the Hunter would be missing part of his shoulder.
You —
— I will not use your username , as like unto using your real life given name , suggests a familiarity or equality that does not exist —
You said that teaching children Christianity constituted a form of child abuse.
Unfortunately , to establish that fact for themselves , a CFN reader would have to go back through about three years ( ? ) of blog archive to find it.
BUT they CAN do so.
Again ,
You said that teaching children Christianity constituted a form of child abuse.
And said it more than once , too.
Now , if I thought your political philosophy was , right or wrong , good or bad , keep your nose and your laws out of other peoples living rooms and families ,
I might , believe it or not , think nothing of it , and let it pass.
I suppose it would be petty to tell someone to fuck off and mind their own business , when they ARE fucking off and minding their own business.
But I rather doubt that is your political philosophy.
By the way , you said
You said that teaching children Christianity constituted a form of CHILD ABUSE ,
NOT CHILD MOLESTATION.
But , then , I must wonder do you draw a distinction there ?
Would child abuse be a misdemeanor , you pay the 50 dollar fine , and go your merry way ?
Again , I’m inclined to doubt that would be the case.
So , if no petty misdemeanor , or no crime at all , what then ?
Teaching children Christianity constitutes a form of child abuse becomes a law.
And laws are not enforced by the Girl Scouts.
So I take that as a threat.
A mortal threat.
I’m not being threatened with harsh language or a bad reputation.
I’m being threatened with a hell of a lot more .
By the way , OG is worried about my taking the Lords name in vein ,
I’m worried about if he can even have a family , that he can teach Christianity to.
So , sorry OG , no , my conscience isn’t particularly bothered.
As typical in your painting me as an aggressive petty bitch ,
you left the above details out.
Surprise.
Surprise.
Why am I not surprised ?
Now I’m gonna sign off , because I have glum , dark , family business of my own to attend to , which I will not share with others to illustrate how fucking wonderful I am,
and because my blood is beginning to boil.
And you can go go on pretending that one sentence , on another topic , constitutes dragging you kicking and screaming into anything.
I am not worried, KA. I merely pointed out that you are Better than posting “JFC” on CFN.
Because you are.
FYI – I had a family and taught Jesus Christ of Nazareth to my son and to my daughter. They are both adults now.
I never painted you “as an aggressive petty bitch.” Those are your words, not mine.
Again, I merely pointed out that you are Better than posting “JFC” and that you will be judged.
I’m not your keeper. I shared my constructive criticism. “Fill yer boots!”
“Again , I’m inclined to doubt that would be the case.
So , if no petty misdemeanor , or no crime at all , what then ?
Teaching children Christianity constitutes a form of child abuse becomes a law.
And laws are not enforced by the Girl Scouts.
So I take that as a threat.
A mortal threat.
I’m not being threatened with harsh language or a bad reputation.
I’m being threatened with a hell of a lot more .”
Utter drivel from start to finish, for the reasons I have already stated.
And not bearing false witness is a commandment too. Making up what you just made up, entirely in your head, is evil.
NO PERSON ANYWHERE has ever been told my thoughts on the above, apart from the people on here in the context of an argument/discussion’
What you said, on the basis of ignorance, is shameful. But you will not be shamed. I hope your blood continues to boil. You deserve a lot more than that.
No , like I said.
they can look it up.
” But you will not be shamed. I hope your blood continues to boil. You deserve a lot more than that.”
But you mean no ill will.
I think you are rather like Janos , who ONLY wants to emphasis Lebensraum and Strength Through Joy.
Never wants to emphasis ….. well , it has been emphasized a hell of a lot already , granted.
It wouldn’t bother me , except that like you he wants to paint himself as Mary Poppins.
And wants to paint me as Elizabeth Bathory ,
Which , yes , irks.
Because I am Elizabeth Bathory ,
not that you would even know , or be any the wiser , except that I have admitted it.
Don’t thank me for honesty or integrity.
But you’re calling it a fair fight , I will not abide.
You deserve to have your blood boil, i.e. be angry after lying about my friends, whom you know nothing about.
Yes, you deserve the consequences of your own behaviour.
Wishing you ill? Please, don’t make me laugh.
I’m still waiting for you to put that naked lightbulb above my head, torture me, and tell me what it is you want me to admit to.
Like I said, I’m very aware of my sins, but I won’t admit to ones I haven’t committed until you torture me under that bulb. So just tell me what you want me to admit.
No , by the way , my brother died four years ago.
I would say that we were very close , but I’m afraid I’m not even sure what constitutes ” close ” ?
I suspect that like many people , maybe all people , he entered life alone , left life alone , and it was 98% solitude in between , whether he deserved it or not.
His parents certainly never gave a fuck about him , except to use him.
Long story short , he was much cleaner – living than I , put thousands of roofs ( ? ) over peoples heads in his lifetime , once owned three houses , and died broke and abandoned by everyone but — well — sorry ass me.
I had to call in some favors with the Catholic Church to avoid seeing him buried in Potters field.
That actually bothers me that he got a Catholic funeral , because he did not favor Catholicism.
But I couldn’t call in any favors with the Protestants , and in any case they didn’t seem interested in helping out.
My ONLY solace is the hope and faith that he is now in a better place.
Because there was zero fucking justice in his life.
A word of warning ;
Don’t dare express any false sympathy here.
” Teaching children Christianity constituted a form of child abuse.” ?
I read that as , “Fuck you , and fuck your family ”
So fuck you , and fuck your family.
And no , you opened that can of worms.
I did indeed believe that teaching children about Hell was child abuse. I definitely did and don’t deny it. I still have huge problems with it. I spent a lot of my childhood and even later years terrified in a way that was not good. If I had the privilege of telling my grandson about Christianity, which I am not allowed to do, I do not know how I would tell him about Hell (and suggest to him that his beloved father is going there for teaching his son there’s no God). These are things that remain a massive problem for me no matter what side I’m on.
I didn’t mention child molestation – you called me a child molester. Whatever my views then or at any time on teaching children about Hell being child abuse, neither any child nor any adult ever knew what I thought, other than the people on this site, in the course of a discussion. I take them to be adults who can cope with different views, be they right or wrong. So what you assume about my pushing of anything at all on other people, let alone proposing anything legal on the matter, is nothing more than what is in your hateful, lying head.
For the rest, I don’t care. I don’t offer you sympathy, simply because you have told me not to, so I can’t.
But your treatment when my brother died remains what it was.
And your boiling blood does not worry me – that you deserve.
For clarification, I meant I don’t care what you say about me, not what you said about your brother. The only reason I refrain from expressing sympathy about him is because you have told me not to.
I should also mention that I DEFINITELY recall you saying that when you were young, you were not only not religious, but *hostile* to religion. You cannot have said any less to anyone on the matter than I did, because I’ve never said it to anyone anywhere on the planet, except on here, where there are no children.
Telling a child that his dad is going to be sent to Hell for eternity is not something I could do to this day. Some problems remain problems, no matter how you try to phrase things or try to sort them out even in your own mind.
It’s great for you that you don’t suffer from such anxieties. Good for you.
That means, all in all, that the only person here who has said or implied or even though ‘fuck you and your family’ is you.
Only you. So I’ll consider my family as having received your curse, and leave it at that.
I doubt you will leave shit.
I didn’t drag you into anything.
I did see your ” compliment ” regarding me , directed at another poster , in another topic and discussion , not involving me.
I simply did not respond.
I didn’t think I was obligated to.
Or was I OBLIGATED???
And how was I obliged ?
It isn’t like you haven’t told me a dozen times that you don’t care , and a dozen others the same thing by the way >
But I suppose I am only to take you at your word when it suits your purposes ?
“I didn’t drag you into anything.”
You included my name in your post, as you have done before, when I wasn’t even talking to you. I take that as an invitation, or at least a permission, to respond.
‘I’ll leave it at that’ referred only to the curse, not to any other nastiness that you might come out with.
And no, you were not meant to respond. It was not aimed at you, as I assumed you weren’t around. I genuinely found the tactic, as described a good one. Think what you like.
Another time I wrote a quite long conciliatory message to you at the end of a thread (years ago), saying I wished I could send it just to you as it was not meant for anyone else’s consumption. And nor was it. I presumed most people would have moved on to the new thread but you might look back.
It got no response, but your next comment to me was just the same vitriolic, hateful stuff, with supposition about things of which you know nothing. So I knew better than to try again.
I repeat, you will not succeed in making me hate you, no matter how much you try.
Your calumnies may come as thick and fast as you like.
@JAZ,
Is this proof?
https://www.cracknewz.com/2021/12/dr-vladimir-zelenko-calls-covid-19.html
Zelenko noted that COVID-19 is a man-made weapon of mass destruction. To Zelenko’s point, medical freedom rights attorney Thomas Renz revealed that a whistleblower provided government data that documented 48,465 deaths of Medicare patients within 14 days of COVID-19 vaccination.
The Ohio-based attorney handles several major cases brought against federal firms relating to fraud and violations of medical freedom rights.
Renz acknowledged the whistleblower who came forward and provided important information from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS) to the public. He noted that the CMS database contains the data of approximately 59.4 million Medicare beneficiaries, which is the largest available in the U.S. for the study of COVID-19 trends.
I read Zelenko.
Now you watch you tube
MedCram – Medical Lectures Explained CLEARLY
Dr. Roger Sehuelt, MD
Covid 19 vaccines vs. Mortality
Real data, real conclusions.
FYI, I do believe that the vaccine gives a hit to the immune system and thus can cause inflammatory reactions, one of which is cardiac events.
You have a population full of diabetics, obese cholesterol laden older people and any insult to the immune system is a potential death threat.
But so is Covid, even Zelenko says that.
So again, folks have to make a risk assessment of whether to try to avoid the disease is worse than getting it. It is individual choice. Every one of the over 65 social club I am in has been vaccinated, no problems yet. About 50 folks. I have had no effects from the booster.
I hate the idea of someone trying to force you to get the shot, mandates suck along with the power assholes that put them in.
From the start, kids should steer clear of the shot, adults are afraid of kids being spreaders but like everything else the extent of kids transmitting is unknown, like just about everything about Covid.
You, and Zelenko think it is a conspiracy? Could be, but thanks to the PTB we will never know. Mostly MSM.
Zelenko’s numbers are extreme, if they were true, why isn’t our conservative media types jumping all over it. Why doesn’t DeSantis, Abbott, and even Trump pull up this info and publicize it?
Read the you tube I showed and we’ll discuss what that MD has put out.
medical freedom rights attorney Thomas Renz revealed that a whistleblower provided government data that documented 48,465 deaths of Medicare patients within 14 days of COVID-19 vaccination.
And you ad hom Dr Zelenko?
You cannot be serious. This is CMS data.

@GA:
I’m very sorry to hear about your husband. I know how you feel because my perfectly healthy wife had a heart attack in 1996. It was incredibly scary, but luckily it was between mild and moderate. She made a full recovery, but scar tissue does replace heart cells in the damaged area. Still, she leads a normal life, but I am forever a little wary of her condition. Unfortunately, the concern never goes away completely.
There are heart attacks and HEART ATTACKS. If your husband has had the former, he will probably be ok if he takes good care of himself from now on. I think you probably believe it was caused by his jabs, but you really don’t know that. When someone is elderly, a heart attack can occur for many reasons.
I have an acquaintance who had a severe heart attack over a year ago. All his coronary arteries were clogged up. Only 40% of his heart was left functioning, and he had to have surgeries. A month after, I saw him and he looked terrible, losing a lot of weight and appearing very frail. I figured him to be a goner. His doctor told him that walking was the only exercise he should do. Well, he listened to his doctor and began walking. Now he walks several miles a day, his frailness went away, and he appears healthy. I guess what I’m trying to say is that the human body can be resilient, so there’s always hope.
Thanks, beantownbill. As I said earlier, they don’t know what it was. The head of the ambulance team said she thought it was a heart attack and gave him the ECG which was not good. The hospital don’t seem to think it was a heart attack, so we will maybe not know what it was.
I thought he was dying in front of me – it was awful. Anyway, he has rallied and is not long back home. I will continue to worry, of course, that it will happen again.
But thank you for your thoughts.
I am appalled that you do not have more info, GA. ECG gives electrical info, did he have elevated or depressed T waves, indicating infarction? He should have had a CT, non invasive cardiac angiogram to check out the coronaries for occlusion. You and he would have a much better picture of what happened and what the prognosis is. How was his troponin level?
I know your feelings, but did anyone you have talked to blamed the vaccine? Has anyone said anything about whether to never get another one? He should have a mandate pass forever.
Get the info, they owe it to you, or otherwise, like you said, you will be sitting home waiting on the next one.
The ECG they did in the house looked bad. The ECG they did in the hospital looked fine, apparently.
The CT head scan was fine, as were the bloods. The only person to mention the vaccine – and somewhat agitatedly – was me. I told them lots about the vaccine (the ambulance people that is).
I also had to phone his work, and I told the ‘hub’ woman (to whom I’ve spoken before) what I thought, albeit nervously. She was sympathetic and said ‘you should hear my son on it’. So that was quite helpful, for me anyway, although if hubby finds out he won’t be pleased!
He has to go to a follow-up clinic, so we’ll see what comes out of that. But nobody will mention the vaccine – I’m perfectly sure of that.
Tell you a story about keeping an eye on these folks.
When I had my heart attack, they did a cath angiogram where they placed a stent in my Right Coronary. Went into recovery, took a EKG 2 hours later. Lousy job of putting on leads, saw a t wave depression.
Back into the lab where everything checked out fine, back into recovery, oops forgot to put me on fluids, so when my B/P passed 45/0, I passed out. Little dopamine and things were fine.
Probably elongated my recovery.
Anyway, get that vaxx waiver, he should never see another.
Bloods okay, no troponin, no heart damage, good news.
Head scan negative no occlusion, no TIA good news.
EKG discrepancy ?? If he feels lightheaded, check pulse. A fib??
Best wishes to both of you! Get well soon to him!
Thanks, John. Unfortunately I think he remains in denial.
He said to my daughter that we don’t know why it happened, and it was probably the medications he takes for BP.
So, between meds for BP, which he’s been taking for years without any problem, and an experimental vaxx he took a few weeks ago, he’s going to believe it’s the BP meds.
There is no telling people. But I will try to get him to get an exemption for the next time. Because we know there’s going to be a next time (for the boosters I mean).
As the saying goes, old age ain’t for sissies. You look into the abyss and the abyss glowers back.

Best to you and your husband, GA.
Thanks, Tucson. 🙂
“It’s tough, watching people almost die,”
It also makes you realise how much you love them, even when you’ve recently been exasperated with them!
Well, I hope your husband appreciates his good fortune.

Newsom wants yet another month of masks indoors.
I recall, 3.2019, ‘2 week lock down to flatten the curve.’
These guys do not know what they are doing. They have a situation that has no answer so they are winging it. Lockdowns have not helped flatten the curve or even stopped the surges at all anywhere. We have no data on what causes the surges, or what stops them. We have no real new cases data, only trends because the tests are unreliable.
To these idiot politicians:
Drop back 15 and punt!
Not only Covid.
Climate change
Pollution
Plastic trash
The national debt
Inflation, interest rates rising
Global debt
The Deep State impasse.
Income inequality
Crime
Riots
The border
And on and on
Biden’s solution for example.
Do nothing and make excuses.
As long as people keep buying into the “data” hoax (ahem…!), they’ll keep doing it. Watching an NFL Owners meeting as we speak. Physician presenter was very slick and smooth. talked a mile a minute and must have used the “data” word 1,000 times or more. Fucking huckster!
And stop beating on Biden. It’s not like your beloved R’s are resisting this shit for the most part either!
Biden is the head of the current Deep State that does nothing and gets away with it, I will bang on the WH any time I want thank you.
You are right about most of the Rs. They are Deep State.
And just like the NFL, the lack of a case by not having real data allows the opposing lawyers et al get away with inaction.
Biden’s not the “head” of anything – including his own body, apparently – he’s just the selected spokesman. And a damn poor one at that, at least if they’re selecting for coherence.
It really doesn’t seem like they are winging it John. Unless you think that dozens if not hundreds of countries are semi-slow rolling out all of the same vax mandates and lockdowns. And that is just one on your list. It’s a long planned demolition
They are winging it because they do not know what to do, period. On all those items I listed.
That is why we are going down.
I remember when I became old enough to realize that those “in charge” are really just as hapless as the guy next door…just with a nicer suit and the right word salad. There are exceptions, but for the most part it blows my mind that people trust any of these clowns to solve our problems.
They do John and Mr. There is a conspiracy. Sure there are a lot of dumb people who are now aware of what is going on or how to handle the problems that they are aware of. But don’t assume that everyone is like that. There are higher secretive echelons that are coercing and coaxing things. People are wealthier than countries who can buy governments. They and it do exist
now = not
But how far down is the question, John. I guess it depends on one’s ideology. The sad fact is that too many people view the current situation, with all of its ‘wokeness’, as morphing into something better.
And the Republicans continue to be on the defensive, with Bannon and Meadows now held in contempt, their fate to be determined by the DOJ. On and on it goes, from Russia Gate to Contempt Gate.
No organization seems tough enough or dedicated enough to stop this constant Democratic attack on our culture, and I mean stop it in its tracks. So, what we will have is a gradual erosion of the ‘old’ values, whites with less and less power and minorities with more, economic policies here dictated by global interdependency, with acquiescence and adaptation to maybe decades of discontent and disillusionment before the appearance of the ‘Die-Centennial’.
Find your own way, be your own first responder.
PRECISELY!
It is the repeating failure of public-private policy to reduce the percolation of variables, but rather exacerbate them, that has produced the rolling waves of collapse, across multiple realms.
…..and today Nancy Pelosi asserts she does not know why “lawlessness” has overtaken San Francisco.
Remarkable.
It is too easy to list the policy errors that fomented the collapse.
Yeah, the mayor of San Fran just took the Pelosi’s to task for the lawlessness, She is just another Deep Stater who is out of touch with her district and does not care anyway.
Another fiasco brewing
The head of the Fed, actually doing his job, announced that interest rates will rise at least three times in 2022 and Fed policy will suppress stimulation of the economy.
Ha, I will be the Build Back Better folks love this one.
The great fear of the Deep State has been higher interest rates and what that is going to do to the national budget pie chart.
Finally, a breath of sanity.
And now Rachael Rollins is US attorney for Mass. The takeover continues.
Errors? It’s policy. A takedown of the United States.
Yes. It is a take down of the those territories whereby the electorate is incapable of exercising their Individual Bill of Rights, AND where those Rights do not exist.
THIS territory does not and shall not have those issues, because WE the PEOPLE shall not permit it.

Alba – wow…can’t imagine what that must be like. Very sorry to hear. Best to your husband and your family, prayers for a speedy recovery.
Thanks, Mango. He’s OK for the moment. I’m just going to be worrying about it happening again now. They’re not calling it a heart attack, but, to my mind, if your heart rate is 45 and they’ve handed you an ECG bad enough to send you to hospital, it’s at the very least a ‘cardiac event’, whatever anyone chooses to believe.
In May I visited family and was in a small room for hours with 4 vaxxed family members.
For 5 days after that I had severe arrhythmia and bradycardia , with long pauses in between heartbeats, and dizziness.
It got so bad I thought about going to the doctor and getting an ECG, because my father had a first degree heart block and needed a pacemaker.
But then I got better. I was on the fence about vaxxed people shedding, but that made a believer out of me.
Was his heart rate slow and regular, or irregular?
From what I recall it was a bit irregular, with a few extra beats happening.
I’m still annoyed at the shedding issue. I’ve been sleeping beside him for a month (he couldn’t or wouldn’t say when he got his booster in November) without knowing he’d had it, after agreeing to tell me so that I could stay out of his way for the first month.
But then he thinks the shedding is nonsense …
Your story is scary – it must have been frightening at the time.
” I should also mention that I DEFINITELY recall you saying that when you were young, you were not only not religious, but *hostile* to religion ”
No , I said I was hostile to Christianity.
Again , folks could look that up. Though granted , that is easier said , than done.
And I warrant that my admitting I was once a sworn enemy , though a small thing , is a hell of a lot more than you’ll ever admit to.
Though , ” I was once a sworn enemy ” is past tense.
Now gimme a cardboard cookie.
I’m an enemy of the United States , STILL , TODAY , is CURRENT.
And rather of a different quality than your claiming to be my friend , in between telling me that you don’t care about me , have better things to do than babysit me , and dragging out my past occupation about three times as often I do , while never so much as admitting to jaywalking yourself.
“No , I said I was hostile to Christianity.”
I stand corrected. Presumably that emphasises my point rather than detracting from it. If not, colour me confused.
Because you used not to be a Christian, and have been, by your own words, previously hostile to it, I return to my point on the previous thread that I do not understand, therefore, how you lack all tolerance to those with honest doubts. Since your own doubts were presumably honest.
I understand you less with that last post than I did before.
“And I warrant that my admitting I was once a sworn enemy , though a small thing , is a hell of a lot more than you’ll ever admit to.”
I have no idea what you want me to admit to. I spent something up to 20 years becoming increasingly agnostic but never being sure of anything. I said nothing about this to anyone.
If you want to hold a lightbulb over my head and torture me into admitting to whatever it is you want me to admit to, I’ll see what I can do.
“I said nothing about this to anyone.”
Except, as I have already stated, on here, in the form of arguments/discussions.
I have also stated that I consider that some people (and here I would include myself) have been known to argue on such matters with other people, when the person they are most trying to convince is themselves.
I can hardly deny that, because I said quite plainly before. It is an insight, which may be right or not right. It’s just a thought that came to me in the time afterwards, not at the time.
I repeat that I do not understand your horrendous intolerance to people who are, or have been, exactly where you have been yourelf.
Perhaps I’m just stupid. I certainly don’t mind admitting to that.

Sometimes I type REALLY quickly.
Gustafson, for the record I don’t think the Vax is necessarily a premeditated kill shot.
Rather, many avenues and possibilities have been considered over the decades with various degrees of failure and success.
I will say that elite thinkers probably became exasperated as it was proven time and again that humans couldn’t possibly overcome our innate desire to eat, fvck, sleep, shit and do it all over again the next day.
And why should we? Each of us is a (imperfect) genetic copy of those that who succeeded beforehand. So successful that as a species we’ve far outgrown any possible semblance of a sustainable level.
Anyway, like a triage situation, it was imperative to first get a handle on things, to establish the unchallenged assertion that the state is the grantor, licensor and arbitrar of rights and privileges.
I believe covid delivered a success far far in excess of anything that was previously dreamt, or to have even been thought possible.
And so here we are today, an essential foundation for control and management in place, to varying degrees of influence and effectiveness, around the globe.
It’s like gaining air superiority – what do they want to do next? They have the luxury of complete economic, media and legal controls in place. They could even opt for a Stockholm syndrome group suicide approach.
I don’t really know, but it is interesting to tease out poosible logical threads. What I do know however is that this is not some kind of CF.
That’s either untenable arrogance (eg only a few “alternative sites know the truth” while everyone else is a dunce), or simply blind adherence to intense normalcy brainwashing. See: jews stoically boarding cattle cars.
if you look at historical social collapses… you dont really see any elite classes profiting from those collapses to rise to new heights. you see a toppling that de-legitimizes elites and erodes all the bases of their former privilege.
why would this situation be likely to follow an absolutely opposite pattern?
oh, you did post something earlier about “not believing that elites will ultimately succeed, as their resource base wont support their projects” ..something like that
so maybe you see this great reset movement as an interim event… part of a collapse prelude.
i can see that. cant it be partly strategic but with a giant scoop of clusterfuck thrown in though? why cant it be significantly disorganized while also partially organized?
Au contraire, the catholic church pulled off one of the all time pivots.
You don’t think roman thinkers knew at least 100 years before that the empire was in an unrecoverable flat spin?
So if you can longer afford to enforce taxation via broad military posture, what better way than to flip secular to ecclesiastical power?
Who needs expensive armies when you can collect tithes merely by asserting some essential truth? And punish heretics and non conformists with damnation of eternal hellfire? (Plus of course various torture and execution methods.)
Would you be surprised that anyone who was anybody transitioned over to the church? Bishops, cardinals, the pope. Do you think these people were the unwashed religious zealots of yesteryear?
If you’re an American, you know the founders went big and captured a nation. They upsold the story of heroic effort, all the while gaining even greater wealth and influence.
Ptolemic Egypt, another example of winning big as one empire crashed. (Alexander’s greece). History is ripe with successful transitions. It’s not rare at all.
i was actually meaning to refer to civilizational collapses, as opposed to merely nation-state or governmental collapses.
india-china-greece-rome-europe-usa…..this is, in a macro view, one big continuous trajectory of civilization that has not yet collapsed
if you view todays global culture as reaching ultimate resource limits and facing forced contraction…what you see is a final collapse to this whole asian-european continuous trajectory of an agricultural-industrial civilization.
the situation of collapse is then much more like the collapse of easter island’s culture than the fall of rome as the mantle of the civilization’s fore-front of growth was merely passed on to europe.
its probably just as extreme though to say elites never survive a collapse (as i basically did) as it is to say they regularly do. it goes both ways.
but the elites that survive a transition have to adapt…. if our elites are very smart, and will successfully transition, they will have to be accurate about resource limits, not base their future plans on the current tech-mania paradime
In the Universe of the movie “Alien”, our creators, “The Engineers” came to hate us so much that they were brining a ship full of aliens to wipe us out.

” For the rest, I don’t care. I don’t offer you sympathy, simply because you have told me not to, so I can’t. ”
” For the rest, I don’t care. ”
As you very often say , and not just to me , and I have always believed it and never doubted it.
” I don’t offer you sympathy, simply because you have told me not to, so I can’t. ”
I think your kindnesses are of the sort like the smile accompanied by the knife in the back.
And have never found them to be otherwise in practice.
Your compliments are written in water.
If , hypothetically , my brother had ever crossed you , I reckon it would have been in the nature of a grievous mistake for him to have ever confided in you , to have ever confessed anything to you ,
to put it plainly , to have ever spoken the truth to you.
Any third – rate actor can yet make things look rosey.
But the truth invariably makes someone look less than perfect , and not uncommonly the messenger.
And while , granted , he is not here to say so himself , I think he would agree that you are not one to re posit faith in.
So , no , I would not have your ” sympathy ” on his account.
“I think your kindnesses are of the sort like the smile accompanied by the knife in the back.
And have never found them to be otherwise in practice.”
Your continued insistence on bearing false witness, when you know absolutely nothing on the matter, is your problem, not mine.
You will not succeed in making me hate you, and, if you were my neighbour, the only person refusing my friendship would be yourself.
You have a problem. I can’t help you with that. You know nothing about me. Not my sins (I know most of them, but presumably not all) or anything else. You certainly don’t know what I’ve done for friends, except in one case that I told you about. I paid dearly for that – in a ‘no good deed goes unpunished’ kind of way.
” For the rest, I don’t care. ”
And I already explained that that was referring to what you said about me, NOTHING to do with your brother. So I think you must be twisting my words deliberately. Go back and read what I wrote.
You don’t want my sympathy on that account, and that is the only reason I don’t offer it, in addition to having said kind things to you before, that you have presumably forgotten, and which were paid back with the purest nastiness.
It remains a fact that, given what the loss of my own brother has meant to me, that I do entirely know what the loss of yours must have meant to you. I will, however, obey your instruction to not express sympathy. But you do not have it in your power to make me not understand.
I’m sorry for all the things in your life that have made you so full of hate, however.
My friends know what my friendship is worth, otherwise they would not have remained friends for so many decades. That is enough for me.
Game. Set. Match. Well played! A fine volley between you two. Switching to boxing, no knockouts but I would give the wreath to you on points.
JohnAZ
sir, depending on pattern recognition in a camouflaged environment carries with it a substantial possibility of misidentification
reference offshoring assets,
in a systemic economic collapse offshored funds will remain offshored funds. Those who are in possesion of a self sustaining estate (plantation) will be in the catbird seat. All of the financial experts who cannot escape the society will then become has been drips under pressure. Do you remember the video of the human falling from the airplane departing Afghanistan? Replace that image with financial advisors falling from Gulfstreams.

Very good!
How this particular saga started , was I merely said that you didn’t understand me or my motives.
And I wasn’t even talking to you. and it was one sentence. But to hear you tell it , it’s like I put a gun to your head and marched you to my tea party.
When all of this is fucking ether , we don’t even have corporeal form here.
And how ever many times I mention my former occupation , or don’t mention it ,
certainly on this occasion you dragged it in.
And maybe a few dozen words too about my hypocrisy an sinfulness
and this from a person whom, — well , I do get confused here — it seems at one point you were atheist ???
( And not a hundred years ago , but practically yesterday )
and then agnostic ???
And now —– fuck , I’m not sure ???
Christian ?
what sort ?
Hindu ?
what the fuck ?
I suppose if you were going to call me a hypocrite ,
or even sinful ,
YOU COULD CLARIFY YOU ???
( so maybe I could figure out if any of that APPLIED TO YOU .
you know like a trial that was really remotely fucking fair ? )
But , hey , that’s me.
“And I wasn’t even talking to you. and it was one sentence. But to hear you tell it , it’s like I put a gun to your head and marched you to my tea party.”
Not at all. You mentioned my name and said I didn’t understand something about you. That would invite a response in most people’s eyes. You said I didn’t realise how liberal you were. I said that, on the contrary, I thought you were exceedingly liberal, for the reasons I stated.
I always said I was a-theist, implying exactly what is meant by the word ‘agnostic’. You may continue to pretend to misunderstand if you with to.
And it’s not my problem what kind of Christian you think I am either, just as it’s not my business what kind of Christian you are.
I repeat, however, that I still do not understand, in general, how you can be so intolerant of people who have honest doubts, when you had those same honest doubts yourself, so must presumably understand what it feels like.
Keep venting if you want to. I still won’t hate you.
The only kind of Christian I know I am with certainty is a pretty rubbish one. Good ones don’t go walkabout for 20 years.
I’d have thought that was pretty obvious.
But He popped by to give me a hug one time when I was on my knees (literally and metaphorically) so I try to hold on to that.
“but practically yesterday”
June 2021, if you want to be precise. It happens. I can’t be precise about the beginning of the period because it was gradual and not at all clear or consistent. Life is not black and white and neither always are beliefs.
You’ve been a Catholic for 7 out of your 55 years. I’m glad you’ve found where you want to be, but sorry it doesn’t seem to be making you very happy.
I’m not terribly happy either, before you start venting again. That’s because I’m terrified for my kids. On that count, you are lucky and I envy you.
” I did indeed believe that teaching children about Hell was child abuse. ”
Did , or do ?
How about taking a stand ?
You know , one of those things that folks can nail you on ?
” I did indeed believe that teaching children about Hell was child abuse. ”
” So what you assume about my pushing of anything at all on other people, let alone proposing anything legal on the matter, …. ”
— And that would have been a great time to clarify those points.
I have.
I think — like right now — that teaching children atheism is child abuse.
Alas , I do not believe I , or anyone else , has a legitimate authority to impose in the lives of children we DON’T REALLY care about.
I can SAY that I care.
And that costs me all of nothing.
Do I have any intention of paying our hypothetical childs grocery bill ?
Bluntly ; Fuck no.
Gonna buy the kid a pony , and send the kid to art school because the kid thinks she has talent and wants to be some kind of Bohemian ?
Nope.
Do I even know the kids fucking name , or favorite color , or really care to ?
Not really.
anyway , so what is the upshot of all of this ?
Yes , I would stand there and do nothing while a kid is abused .
( Abused in MY opinion. )
And for that I have already been called a child abuser.
Granted , not yet been called a child molester , but then , as I pointed out , that seems a very fine line , and folks are NOT terribly hesitant to cross fine lines.
I have been called a murderer too.
But then , heck , being a murderer can make you a celebrity.
Apparently killing people can be small potatoes , so long as they are of legal age , and you are on the right side. 😀
So maybe being called a murderer is not so much.
Anyway , so I don’t feel particularly sorry for you.
As the old saying goes , ” If you can’t stand the heat , stay out of the Kitchen ”
” So what you assume about my pushing of anything at all on other people, let alone proposing anything legal on the matter, is nothing more than what is in your hateful, lying head. ”
— So back to the , ” You don’t know me ” – argument.
Though this all started because not knowing me didn’t seem to bother you then.
You will continue to think what you like. I don’t require your sympathy.
But I will respond if I wish to.
“And that would have been a great time to clarify those points.”
It is not my obligation to prevent you from making unwarranted assumptions.
If I express an opinion on any other matter on here, I’m not generally called upon to clarify whether I’ve ever declared that opinion elsewhere.
“Did , or do ?
How about taking a stand ?
You know , one of those things that folks can nail you on ?”
If your ambition is to ‘nail’ me on something, I feel sorry for you. Nail me on whatever you like. I find the issue of Hell and children massively problematic, in terms of telling them that a loving God send people to Hell for eternity (if He does – I hope He doesn’t, but how the heck would I know?). If he sends people to Hell for honest disbelief without malice, my lovely brother will be there.
Along with Pol Pot.
?
Perhaps you could do something actually helpful and tell me how you would describe to a little boy like my grandson how his dad, who does not believe in God, is going to burn in Hell forever, even though his son loves him to bits. I’m not up to it. And I’m no theologian, as you will have figured.
@jarek
“I don’t doubt your erudition in fine, but he is correct in his main thesis: That the South has been vilified, first in literature, then by Hollywood.”
i hadn’t read the article. the southern literature question is a complex one.
i guess, i can see some merit to the idea that new england elites chose southern writers to promote who furthered or complimented their own perspectives, to a point.
but i don’t think it’s a dominant part of the picture. these writers’ concerns were primarily moral, universal and religious. the “southern grotesque” genre was more about exploring extremes of humanity in order to ask moral/spiritual questions and confront mysteries than to “vilify southern whites”.
the vilifying of southern whites “deplorable” style is a much more recent, post-hippie phenomenon, in my view.
southern writers were prominent mainly because the south was simply a more dynamic place than northern states were from 1860 to 1960 as fodder for art. thats the big picture.
the backdrop for all this, for me, is not an elite plot to undermine white culture……. (uh, no.)
it is the bankruptcy of NORTH-EASTERN US INDUSTRIAL CULTURE during those years. they got their art from the south and elsewhere because they were so spiritually shrivelled and poor they could not produce any.
and the backdrop to the “southern gothic” wave, for me is… a dark view into the soul of america which the artists themselves did not clearly comprehend, but felt… a sensing of the forces of dissolution we experience today.
if southern writers on the whole had animosity for any part of the country it was the industrial north, and its accompanying forces of effete, bland, monied, condescendingly shallow “progressivism”…not the south.
now, if you’re talking late 20th century hollywood depictions of the south….an entirely different thing….yes, vilification and mindless pc progressive ideas abound
“these writers’ concerns were primarily moral, universal and religious. the “southern grotesque” genre was more about exploring extremes of humanity in order to ask moral/spiritual questions and confront mysteries than to “vilify southern whites”.

Bingo!
You’ve stated this more succinctly than I did.
Ok, that makes some sense. But the “New England Yankees” have a very, very long time frame. In other words, not them so much as the driving force. All those statues of Southerners? That was one poster elsewhere called “a blood peace”. Respect them so we can move on together. Civil rights and the rest of it began to chip away at that understanding and rapprochement.
” “And I wasn’t even talking to you. and it was one sentence. But to hear you tell it , it’s like I put a gun to your head and marched you to my tea party.”
Not at all. You mentioned my name and said I didn’t understand something about you. ”
Lets break this down.
‘ You mentioned my name… ”
I didn’t say otherwise. I did say that it was one sentence , and it was.
” … and said I didn’t understand something about you. ”
Yeah ….. like I said.
So ,
” Not at all. ”
No , not ,” not at all. “
Ugh … whatever.
If you are determined to make me grovel on hands and knees and apologise for evening opening my mouth, please consider yourself grovelled to. I’m going to bed soon.
even, not evening.
” If your ambition is to ‘nail’ me on something, I feel sorry for you. ”
You don’t mind nailing me.
And that does not answer the fucking question.
I didn’t ‘nail’ you. I keep asking why you have so little tolerance towards people who are just what you used to be. It still confuses me.
Nevertheless, if you have that advice to hand about how I should tell my grandson that his beloved dad is going to burn in hell for eternity, I’d still be happy to hear it. Like I said, I can’t go there. Maybe that’s another sin to add to the pile I have already.
” How this particular saga started , was I merely said that you didn’t understand me or my motives.

— Whatever you want to call it.
You don’t want to call it ” nailing ” is neither here , nor there , to me.
I certainly will object to your painting yourself as innocent bystander ,
or making out like you are some sort of friend of mine , or would be if only.
I am not your friend. If you were my neighbour I would try to be your friend, assuming you did not attack me every time I opened my mouth. Anything I had would be yours to borrow if you needed it. As we do with our current neighbours (in practice that amounts to garden tools, pretty much).
Your previous occupation is not, per se, the issue. It surprised me that you said you regretted not being able to continue with it, since I thought you’d have different views on it now that you’re a Catholic. I don’t find that particularly contentious. I got re-married while I was not very sure at all what I believed. I presume that to be a much greater sin than your historical occupation, in religious terms. It’s certainly a lot harder to undo.
I’m still waiting to hear some advice on the wording of my story for my grandson.
Your, Why do hate those who are as you were until seven years ago, was a fine punch. Not just in the school yard sense of arguing, but in all truth.
In debate per se, it wouldn’t be allowed being an ad hominem.
To me it’s not an ad hom, it’s a question, or a mystery. Or a challenge to explain it. I don’t get it. I understand why people believe and I understand why others don’t believe. I’ve been there, on both counts. So has Kesa. Perhaps hating people who think as she once thought helps her deflect her anger from herself. I don’t know. I find it easier just to ask forgiveness for what I believed before and what I said before. But it’s not from Kesa that I require forgiveness, as her past guilt is the same as mine and others she vilifies.
I recall reading in one of M. Scott Peck’s books (a hero who turned out to have feet of clay, if ever there was one, but still) his view that people often hate other people in whom they see their own faults.
Perhaps that’s why Kesa so much needs to administer the tongue lashings she revels in, while she continues not to answer the most important questions.
So be it. It will stop when it stops.
I’ve read some of him. How was he a hero? He’s certainly good when it comes to unveiling the mystery of evil. A worthy subject! All I meant is that within a formal debate, any question of the motive of your opponent is off limits. But discussion is another thing completely.
Feet of clay? His drinking? He shocked people when he admitted that he and his wife got intoxicated every night if they weren’t going out. An old fashioned drunk – disciplined. No intention of quitting. But yes, quite far from the New Age or Christian ideal.
GA,
Whatever happened to Scott Peck? I remember him being the big cheese in the self-help movement back in the day, then he seemed to drop off the map completely, years before his death in 2005.
If it’s not too much trouble, perhaps you could also explain the “feet of clay” comment?
So sorry to hear about your husband’s episode. Hoping for the best for him and you.
SF and Jarek
Thank you, SF.
Re M. Scott Peck, ‘hero’ was the wrong word, sorry. He was, as you say, SF, very popular, almost cultish. I read several of his books, and they seemed to make a lot of sense.
I recall particularly that he said he’d been commissioned to report on the My Lai massacre. What came out of his study of the incident was a description of crowd psychology at work, i.e. soldiers abandoning their own moral judgements to the psychology of the crowd, leading to an orgy of killing).
The Pentagon (who, I think, commissioned the report) found the conclusion so disturbing that they declined to publish it. Basically it showed the dangerous side of military practice, psychologically speaking – the abandonment of personal morals to the possibly temporary ‘morals’ of the group.
The feet of clay bit was with regard to his personal life – I only read about it long after I’d read the books, in fact maybe when he died.
He was greatly into ‘building communities’, with a recognition that people are different and complement one another. It was in that context that he talked about people getting angry at other people in whom they saw their own faults.
Anyway, he said his marriage was a ‘community of two’ and that he and his wife worked on in in that context (mutual respect etc.).
Then it turned out that he’d been having affairs all through his marriage, and his wife finally divorced him at age 70, after years of this. He went on to marry the 35-year-old he’d been having a most recent affair with, and promptly died.
Haha, Scotty.
Meanwhile, in Russia….
Russia’s QR code regime is collapsing
It was never about public health and Russians know it
“The Russian government is still planning to push through a deeply unpopular nationwide QR code law—but making such legislation a reality could be a tall order.
In some regions where QR codes are already in place, authorities have hastily abandoned enforcement efforts.
Fed-up Russians are boycotting, bypassing, and beating people up.
Non-existent enforcement in Kazan
On November 22, Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan, became the first city in Russia to require QR codes for public transportation. The new rule led to absolute chaos: buses were being delayed by twenty minutes or more as conductors struggled to check QR codes—and there were numerous reports of angry passengers starting brawls.
It appears that Kazan basically… gave up. QR codes are still required to use public transport, but the rule is not enforced in any meaningful way.
In early December, Ilya Zotov, a member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, Chairman of the All-Russian Association of Passengers, decided to investigate how Kazan’s QR codes regime works in practice.
His findings were quite extraordinary:
“Briefly: I traveled on 4 different bus routes, 1 trolleybus, and also in the metro. What did I see in fact?
– on 4 bus routes the QR code was never asked;
– in the trolleybus they asked if I had a code, I said yes (which is true), but they did not ask me to show it;
“In the metro, QR codes are checked at the entrance to the station, but you can show any code (of a relative or friend), there is no data reconciliation,” Zotov, wrote in his Telegram channel.
He also said that 70% of passengers were not complying with mask rules. The takeaway? Maybe this is not such a good policy:
“I come to the conclusion that this whole imitation is not needed… It is better for the authorities of Tatarstan to honestly admit this and cancel QR codes in transport,” Zotov wrote.
Enforcement reportedly remains quite laxed. At the Doctors for Truth conference in Moscow on Sunday, your correspondent spoke with an activist who said that she recently took several bus rides in Kazan without having to present a QR code.
The most dangerous job in Russia?
One of the problems with enforcing QR codes in Russia is that you can get stabbed for doing it. On paper it sounds like a major growth industry, but is it really worth the lousy pay and the constant beatings?
For example, at the end of November a mall cop in Kazan was wounded in the arm with a knife after he asked a man for his QR code.
In some parts of Russia, violent opposition to QR codes appears to have played a key role in dropping the regime altogether.”

In some parts of Russia, violent opposition to QR codes appears to have played a key role in dropping the regime altogether.
I appreciate that the Russkis have had centuries of oppression and illiberal government – with few real highlights – but still, is there absolutely no sense of social-community responsibility?
Australians value the freedom as much as anyone else, but QR Codes are seen as a respectful act, in a pandemic situation where case-tracing strategies are important.
I’ll put it down to mature emotional intelligence, and a far greater trust of democracy.
Nothing sez “Democracy” quite like:
Your papers! Vere are your papers!
Entirely democratic, in that “we” asked for it by not resisting it in the first place. Covid – the hoax that keeps on giving. And now, just in time for the holidays, the ‘Oh My! – cron’ variant! Order early and beat the Christmas rush!
“Entirely democratic, in that “we” asked for it by not resisting it in the first place.”
Not knowing what you tried at the outset, there were some of us who tried. It would not surprise me if you were among the “us”, considering how, with all the obfuscation and fear going on, it was difficult, at least for me, to identify kindred spirits.
Which is a point. There were some trying to resist. Lack of organization in part due to difficulty identifying other resisters, was in play, likely by design.
By the time some groups emerged (by late Spring 2020) there was too much fear on board the masses and the voices from the wilderness were labeled as more of the usual conspiracy theorists. It’s such a convenient label, rolled out on an almost daily basis to quash dissent from “the narrative of the day”.
Sure, it was “democratic” regarding the willingness of a majority to trade liberty for safety, and yes, it does just keep on giving.
“Nothing sez “Democracy” quite like:
Your papers! Vere are your papers!”
Just as, as someone already pointed out, nothing says science like saying ‘we will take no legal responsibility for the product we want you to take and keep taking’.
It might even have been yourself, OG! I can’t remember.
Spoken like true branded farmstock.
Or someone paid to help get the farmstock to accept branding.
i find it pretty much impossible to believe that anyone could genuinely be as supposedly naïve as our troll.
” Nevertheless, if you have that advice to hand about how I should tell my grandson that his beloved dad is going to burn in hell for eternity, ”
I’m as as certain as I am sitting here that you know that is not my belief , or position , or policy.
So the question itself is false , and intentionally so.
A , ” do you still beat your wife ? ” – type question , when you already know that I don’t even have a wife to beat.
But let’s pretend you don’t know exactly what my thoughts on the subject of hell are.
By the way — you are INVITING commentary on a grandson I don’t know , and a dad I don’t know , except perhaps second hand via you , and I hardly trust your word.
And If I venture any assumption — you are chronically in the habit of using the ” I don’t know you ” – argument ,
and I wouldn’t put it past you to pretend YOU didn’t INVITE the speculation —
But then , maybe in this case , I need not even assume anything much at all ?
” Better to reign in Hell , than serve in Heaven ”
” One can , in ones own mind , make a heaven out of Hell , a Hell out of Heaven ”
— From Milton’s Paradise Lost.
In other words , I actually don’t believe Hell is a prison that people are driven into at bayonet point.
Hell is SOLELY full of volunteers.
Do YOU assume good old dad volunteered for Hell ?
He’s living it up , raising Hell , with the bad boys ?
If YOU think so , well , I suppose maybe you know better than I ?
And if not , how is it that you assume I do ?
You don’t assume such ?
Your fucking question assumes such !
But then , like I said , I think your question was false to begin with.
You already know that my speculation is that it is not beyond the realm of possibility that Joseph Stalin or Jack the Ripper are in Heaven .
Or Pol Pot.
And regardless of whether I’m happy about it here or not.
While we are at it , how about shaking the question up a bit?
Let’s say dad had a really terrible , horrific life ?
How to tell the kid , ” This is all there is . Judy Judge isn’t going to be doing anything about this case , so tough shit . ” ?
Or , let us say that Dad was Jack the Ripper .
How to tell the kid that this is all there is , there are no second chances ? ( Assuming the kid would want a second chance for dad ? )
Or let’s say dad was Jack the Ripper , but got clean away with it , and was a very good actor , so was beloved by millions , when he really was a monster , he got every lucky break imaginable , lived life to the full ,
while people starve to death not because there is no money or food , but merely because of neglect.
Oh well , this is all there is .
But there is justice ! …………somewhere ……..else ?
How to explain that to the kid ?
Maybe better not.
Tru story, my nephews cell phone rang in his coffin during the eulogy I was giving to 800 to 1000 ppl at some weird big church that would take the unprofessed .
I was not prepared for the many who came seeking counselling or guidance or solace after that outing. In fact, a week later I got on a train and ended up in Regina, running away from death, apparently.
Volunteers who refuse to make peace or apologize? We can surely hope such obstinacy in the face of a more than human Love does not last forever.
He made us. He knew. If you (generic) refuse the Doctrine of Kama or individual responsibility and pulling oneself up by the old bootstraps – as Christianity does – then it’s all on HIM to make it right. All in the inequalities. All the degraded wombs and horrible families that He put children in to.
Again , I have a theory that the reason we aren’t getting phone calls from dead loved ones is ,
first , time is not linear in Heaven. Briefly , 500 years to us is 5 minutes to them.
Why place a phone call from your place in the bathroom to your wife in the kitchen that you will be with her in 74 seconds ?
And secondly , they literally have better things to do.
Do you really want to visit your pal in Treblinka when you have tickets to Disneyland accompanied by the Cheerleading squad ?
” We can surely hope such obstinacy in the face of a more than human Love does not last forever. ”
One of the attractions , or dare I say , apparent truths , of Catholicism to me was Purgatory.
Often scarce even mentioned in Catholic circles anymore ,
and Protestants generally really wrinkle their noses in disgust at the idea.
Indeed , generally in the West , if you like the idea of Purgatory , where do you go otherwise ?
There’s an Orthodox church ——- two hours away. And for me that might as well mean it is on the moon.
By the way , if the worst happens , I genuinely hope GreenAlba derives some comfort from my theories presented here.
And that’s the closest you will ever get to nice from me.
Thank you, Kesa. I appreciate that kindness.
Me too. I love the Church Suffering. Catherine (of Sienna I think) told of the agonies that people suffer there but also Simultaneously, of the Joy that enables them to bear it well. They are bound for heaven. No other possibility. It’s just a matter of time and purification. They say prayer can lighten their load. So I do.
Time slows down with pain. A day may seem like thousand years. And with joy? A thousand years is as a day.
One cannot know joy without pain.
The pain that is carried is the love that is withheld.
….with its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is STILL a beautiful world..
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2yIkDVs0cA&list=PLl55Zh3U2VW7YD-JKHT0vYIk1ZCrK7c4-&index=43&t=0s
No. Suffering and happiness are the opposites. They’re relative, and of the manifested world. Joy is of the unmanifest. Joy, as per Blake, is the High Third on the triangle. Joy is non-dual.
“So the question itself is false , and intentionally so.”
No. I have read before your belief in last-minute converts. I’m aware that the psycho Henry VIII allegedly died a Catholic.
But you’re a Catholic, so I assumed you believe Catholic dogma generally, to some extent And it’s not just about your specific beliefs anyway, it’s about Christian orthodoxy, which generally – Catholic or Protestant – holds that people who don’t believe in God (or more specifically, Jesus) spend eternity in Hell.
If the dad in question, who is not a bad person in human terms – not a Pol Pot or a Henry VIII – just a person who thinks religions cause trouble and are made up, but (with some minor exceptions) I would say is a good dad, is not going to become a deathbed Christian. He doesn’t believe it’s true. Honest disbelief, as I said before.
He’s not whooping it up with anyone. But he’s not volunteering for Hell, because he doesn’t believe it exists.
Neither does my lovely younger daughter (not sure exactly what my other daughter believes on the matter) who thinks it was invented by humans to control people’s behaviour.
I don’t think my daughter, my brother or my grandson’s dad deserve to be tortured for eternity. I pray for them all every day. Which is tantamount to admitting (or desperately hoping for), in one case, the possibility of what you call purgatory, which is maybe unusual for a protestant (I don’t even like the term protestant, because I’m not protesting against anything, just sticking with the ethos I was brought up with).
Personally, I like (but then I would, wouldn’t I?) the reasoning in that pamphlet Messianicdruid has posted a few times. But I don’t know if it’s true or wishful thinking. Given people have been arguing about such things for two thousand years, I don’t flatter myself that any thoughts I have on the matter have any validity.
And I still don’t know how I’d begin to put the notions to my grandson, regarding his dad whom, with his virulent atheism, you consider is volunteering for a Hell which he does not believe exists.
Not that I’m allowed to proselytise to my grandson anyway. He’s just a hypothetical example of a kid who would not be attracted to a theology that involves him believing his dad is doomed to eternal torture.
And possibly his mum as well, in addition to his kind (great) uncle.

Zero point energy production is sequestered by the Pentagon under an unacknowledged special access program.

The percolating variables that have exceeded critical point, across multiple realms, have produced the present state of rolling waves of collapse, under the law of self-organized criticality.
I’m posting on this blog EXCLUSIVELY for one reason: Mr. Kunstler is correct. The advising of the building out of local resilient supply chains, the means of local energy and food production is the BEST path forward, with a set of practical knowledge, skills, and abilities that are in support thereof.
That clarifies it.
Thanks.

It is the GEN-X Categorical Imperative.
Good observation.
Same problem, what is Truth?
The Few certainly do not see the same truth as I do, or probably you do.
The minority is protected by the Bill of Rights in this country.
It does not give them the right to run things. That is still the discretion of the majority.

” but sorry it doesn’t seem to be making you very happy. ”
As I said — in so many words — happiness for me would have been a spot in the East German Army. Goose – stepping around in a pretty uniform by day , fucking officers by night according to an informal tradition nobody talked about much , and convenient at least for some that it isn’t talked about.
in a still existing East Germany.
It would have been Americans , and especially Brits , crushed under my tank treads.
Every person shot in my name , or thrown in the jug with my seal of approval , only an evidence of what a wonderful girl I am.
Real time , and genuinely convenient circumstances , to make art.
( And not writing either. I went into writing because it was CHEAP , and in the old days I never got beyond crude and broken German , and in my new life everyone was essentially the enemy.
Believe it or not , there was a time when if I wanted to approach a boy —who was five feet away — I would write him a letter.
That was before email or chat rooms or texting , but not the Victorian era.
So it looked very weird.
But just because the Berlin Wall isn’t there , no , it is still there.
Keeping ones distance from the enemy is actually good manners , and good manners primarily for the enemies sake ! .
How the Hell did I ever become a Call girl ??
It’s like acting , and it is business , and with those two buttresses , again you have a Berlin Wall in effect.
It is like you are not even there , even when fully there. )
I really don’t think the Communist aspect would bother me much.
I assess that I’m not very materialistic.
Like I always actually despised Mercedes – Benz.
It’s just a wagon to get from A to B , so the Traubant is actually better.
The housing could leave a lot to be desired , but if there were any homeless in East Germany they did a damn good job of hiding them.
Hell , maybe even a kid or two of my own someday.
Dictatorship ?
In America I have been among enemies. Voting is rather a trifle under the circumstances.
And while America may or may not have been free in 1976 ?
I suspect that more denizens of CFN would agree with me , though they very much rather would not , that comparatively now East Germany would have little to be ashamed of now.
And you could almost say that is a positive development for me.
I have always lived in a state of terror. All that has changed is that now you do too
. Welcome aboard.
On that score I wouldn’t be any worse off.
—
And I think I almost certainly would have been a much more terrible person.
And a really lousy writer.
You are sorry I am not happy ?
As I said , for me , happiness would have been paying the Brits back in spades for 1914.
i.e. you get to eat crow for the rest of your life , because you ( supposedly ) deserve it. 😛
These days I am not so happy ,
and I would allow you the freedom to raise your children as you see fit.
And get called a child abuser for my trouble by some.
I really don’t think happiness amounts to much.
It is NEVER too late to complete the assignment.
http://www.got-truth.com/images/Lennon3.jpg
I certainly agree that happiness is not the be all and end all, and not the criterion by which a good life can be judged. In that sense, the point about you not appearing to be happy, given you’ve found your theological niche, was superficial – mea culpa – but you do still seem to be eaten up with hate.
“I have always lived in a state of terror. All that has changed is that now you do too
. Welcome aboard.”
I agree with that too. although I’m personally only terrified for my family (since I don’t think any Gestapo-type torture will be required, our oppressors having access to all our information already). I would be not exactly happy, but willing to be stood in front of a firing squad in the public square, to make our current oppressors do the thing honestly and openly, rather than succumb in the underhand way I will doubtless be forced to succumb. Firing squads are unpleasant but quick.
I don’t really go with the notion of punishing people for the sins of their fathers, so the idea of mowing down people living in 2021 (under a fast-approaching totalitarianism) for the sins of people who fought in a war in 1914, most of them without much of a clue about what they were fighting for, on either side, but who just did what they thought was their patriotic duty, duped by vicious elites, is alien to me.
I prefer the squaddies from both sides who played football with one another at Christmas.
And Eric Lomax (the real-life ‘Railway Man’).
A better way to go, to my mind.
” One of your duties as men is to oppose false realities to preserve meaning, ”
As I have said before , THE reason I wound up on CFN was when JHK said ,
( paraphrasing , from memory )
” The myth that if you can measure something , it necessarily means you can understand it , or control it. ”
Which could be ( ? ) ;
A false reality could be insisting on a meaning when there isn’t one.
I BELIEVE the commandment is ambiguous.
And PERHAPS that is a sign that I value the Bible as something more than a vehicle to power , a path to popularity , or a ticket to the feeding trough.
Great point.
You NEVER change things by FIGHTING the existing reality. If YOU want to change something, BUILD a new reality that makes the existing reality obsolete.

Or maybe you can just take a nap, surf porn , go out for cheeseburgers , whatever , and the worm will turn anyway ?
Like , for example ,
my best guess is that eventually American versus German will be about as meaningful as Spartan versus Athenian.
And you can then play Spartans merely because you prefer red , or play Athenians because you prefer blue.
You can play either in a miniskirt and Corinthian helmet , and BECAUSE you like miniskirts and Corinthian helmets
Well …..maybe you guys shouldn’t wear the miniskirt to work .
Maybe you gotta cook up a tissue – thin excuse like a play , or a reenactment.
And not one in a thousand people will even know that both the Spartans and the Athenians committed ghastly atrocities ,
engaged in practices related to slavery that would shock an old school American Southerner ,
and were both deep into pederasty.
……………
Wait a minute ……….. maybe you should wait to play Spartans and Athenians when it is Chinese transsexuals on Mars ,
or bestiality is in vogue among Blacks on Jupiter ?
Anyway , a time is bound to come when your Corinthian helmet won’t be stigmatized , or get you thrown in the jug.
Look, they won’t let us do any of that. They’re driving us back and forth as a superior tennis player does an inferior, until they finish them off with a kill shot.
You of the Electronic Universe! We need a secret weapon to destroy those who would destroy us. That was Hitler’s only real chance crushed as he was between Capitalism on the West and Communism on the East.
The secret of change is to invest ALL Time and Energy BUILDING the NEW, not fighting the old!
….and an egalitarian, diverse Constitutional Republic with autarky is BEST!
ALL works out for those in resonant unity with Illimitable-spirit and nature….
You just repeated yourself without taking in my input.
The Old America or First Republic: First we had to defeat the Indians and dispossess them. At the same time, while still under the Crown, we had to defeat the French. Then we defeated the British and established the Republic.
If you are boxer who is all offense and no defense, you will lose. But you’re no fighting because you’re not in a Fight? Yes you (we) are. So far only one side is fighting, theirs. We’re getting stomped. They’re going to stomp us to death.
Unfortunately, Treaties are the highest [ most important ? ] portion of the CONstitution.
Making agreements you don’t intend to honor has been around long before the CCP.
Jen Psaki the other day when asked about the debt: Who told you the debt was important? Did you find some person on the street who said that?
Tucker tumbled tonight when talking about ordinary (Has anyone ever seen this unicorn? I have.) people’s views of CNN type liberals: What does the average truck voter think of these people.
Truck voters are among the most ardent Trump voters and the most hostile group to pedestrians, who they no doubt deem to be Bidenites. Beware the pickup truck. Professional truck drivers? Superb in my experience.
Lol yes I saw that and he was really going after Jen saying something about how horrible the world would be if there were 8 billion Jen Psakis but thankfully there is diversity and essentially the CNN liberal types are a tiny, hated minority. But they still have an awful lot of power I’m thinking. I agree with you. Tucker is best addressing the enemy peer to peer so to speak. But the dynamic isn’t the same when he embraces the lower to go after the higher. Because Tucker comes from a higher class background. I think he becomes concious of that more than he should. He is still relatable without almost I guess pandering.
Well he was apparently insufferable as a young Libertarian type Republican. He’s the rare case of a middle aged person and public figure who has made the effort to stay open and keep growing.
In terms of the Cosmic Man or Social Body, the lower classes are our feet. If your feet are of a different color (race) than the rest of you, they may obey a different head and take you where you do not wish to go.
In other words, he’s very far from the lower class as a person – and that’s fine. It would be grotesque for him to try and act like one. The important thing is for him to try and understand them and to sympathize with them. This he is doing. It’s most rare….
He’s a Civic Nationalist. His best writer was a White Nationalist. He knows, but what can be done at this late date? From my pov, you’re about the only other fully sane person on this site because you get this.
Wow that is encouraging to hear. Honestly it is probably a result of me being Southern. I don’t understand how more people simply do not get that because to me it is like the simplest thing. There are families, clans, tribes, etc. that are related by blood that forms a people or a nation. Well I say Southern and also because I studied the Bible a lot when I was little and of course that is what the Bible basically says.
Tucker is the type of elite that we should have from the standpoint of his empathy with the lower classes. He is definitely rare, but I do think there could be more like him if culture and education focused on that (loyalty to nation) rather than the antithesis. That is a really good analogy, nation and body, it should be used more because the simplicity yet perfect sense of it is magnificent. You wouldn’t want your feet to bring you to a bad place. Especially if in your mind you are screaming no no! but the feet defy you anyway.

Dr. Michael Palmer, Canadian board-certified doctor, medical microbiologist, and professor of pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Waterloo, explains how the MRNA poison the body.

Palmer: The body can tolerate a limited number of the poison injections, and that number is different for each person.
“MRNA shots”
From the UK Office of National Statistics:
• Between 2 January and 24 September 2021, the age-adjusted risk of deaths involving coronavirus (COVID-19) was 32 times greater in unvaccinated people than in fully vaccinated individuals.
• The weekly age-standardised mortality rates (ASMRs) for deaths involving COVID-19 were consistently lower for people who had received two vaccinations compared with one or no vaccinations.
Vaccines work … the net benefit is undeniable.

Covid MRNA shots are not vaccines, and do not work.
The net destruction is undeniable.
The Vaxx works, raised antibodies are there to counter any Covid invasion.
For about three to six months, maybe. and on a continuously declining amount. Who knows what the required amount per person is as well as how soon they reach that level and get infected. the surges this winter are proof that the levels Vaxxed people have gotten are not enough.
THAT is the failure of the vaxx, it does not create even six months worth of immunity.
As the vaxx is the inflammatory part of the virus, the side effects will probably cancel out the goodness of the vaxx in people’s minds. I await the “official”, whatever that means, release of the data that shows the real effects of the S protein mRNA vaxx from biopsies, autopsies, real studies of the VAERS data.
Right now, people are dying, getting the same thing as Covid ( remember that the disease is really our reaction to the virus), and very few seem to wonder why. I smell Fauci trying to protect himself and his bioweapon development from public scrutiny, don’t you?
“I await the “official”, whatever that means, release of the data that shows the real effects of the S protein mRNA vaxx from biopsies, autopsies, real studies of the VAERS data.”
You can see the evidence from the autopsies of 10 or 11 vaxxed individuals here, John, near the start of the latest Symposium of Doctors for Covid Ethics.
I don’t recall exactly where it is but I’d suggest starting from the beginning. After the first speaker (I think), there’s a German pathologist showing many slides taken from the deceased.
https://www.ukcolumn.org/video/doctors-for-covid-ethics-an-interdisciplinary-symposium-ii-sounding-the-call
Re ‘real studies of the VAERS data, Peter McCullough did exactly that with the myocarditis date from VAERS. Jessica Rose and he published their finding in ‘Issues in Cardiology’ (I think that was the title), an Elsevier journal.
After being published, the paper was mysteriously removed ‘temporarily’, without advising the authors.
Then it was permanently removed.
This is what anyone will be up against when trying to get to the bottom of VAERS data.
In the UK, one of the UKC News editors sent a FOI request to the MHRA (UK medicines regulators) asking for evidence that the deaths and injuries reported on the Yellow Card system were not vaxx-related. Five months later, he’s still waiting for a reply.
UKC gave quite a lot of coverage this week to evidence that the MHRA isn’t paying the slightest attention to the Yellow Card data, which is presumably to be memory-holed eventually. I think they’re planning to change it to make it less visible too.
Tekapo, please define “age-adjusted risk” and “age-standardised mortality rates”.
Tekapo has a to-do list that includes reading up on Uttar Pradesh and scientifically refuting at least a handful of the data presented by Peter McCullough over 90 minutes (although you’d think the incorrect data would be throwing itself at him, given what a fraud Dr McCullough apparently is).
So you might have to wait your turn. 🙂
But rest assured that the vaxx is the double-plus-goodest thing since sliced bread.
We could just continually post this as a response to all of his comments, since it would apply to 99% of them:

That was funny!
My husband is sitting in bed reading The Real Anthony Fauci …
I kid you not. It arrived yesterday morning before he collapsed and I just left it beside the bed while he was having a pre-collapse nap.
I’m pretending not to notice that he’s reading it. Staying quiet.
LEGENDARY!
No, Tekapo cannot present the risk data, because it does not exist outside of the Vaers data. It is starting to leak out however, watch You Tube.
The only thing we know now is that mortality increases from 65 and up and apexes above 80 with some serious numbers. Hmm, could that be because we jam those folks together in nursing homes. I think Cuomo lost his job over that one. Co-morbidities increase the risk, how much????
That is about it.
GA The limited response you got from your husband’s experience is disgusting, but typical. You two walked out not knowing what happened, knowing he was stable, but not knowing what to expect next.
The fear continues.
Mary Q that vid. Yes! Lol
define “age-adjusted risk” and “age-standardised mortality rates”.
Statistical techniques to ensure that you’re properly comparing like with like.
So if the average age in say Japan is much higher than say Zimbabwe, the incidence of severe illness and death might be different in raw terms, but the actual rates might be similar when both populations are adjusted against the world average demographic spread.
Exactly, Night Owl.
Exactly how many injections CAN a person tolerate? How many inflammatory episodes before the condition of the heart across a population spectrum culls out a percentage of the folks.
The introduction of a disease into a population will kill a small percentage of folks due to pre-existent co-morbidities. Every time a really bad flu hits, or say SARS1, people die.
The Vaxx is a disease. It is an insult to the immune system. It presents a “controlled” version of Covid to the immune WBCs to provoke a response. Like the disease itself, the “controlled” vaxx treats everyone different. and some will die, whether from the flu, Covid, the flu vaccine or the Vaxx.
My problem is how the Deep State has handled this fact. Instead of a controlled release of Vaxx to susceptible folks first, learning about the drugs effects, and adjusting according to what is found, we got this shoved down our throats. This damnable government has used the panic of 2020 to give the drug to every person in the world, or try to anyway. I do not believe that there is a master plan to knock down population to >% million as some do. I do believe it is a power grab by the Left swinging Deep State to control the population. Fauci is the cheerleader, only, because he has not added one meaningful addition to the Covid solution since last year. He is worthless and if not for the MSM would never be heard from again. Hopefully, the conservative backlash coming will stop the tomfoolery and put the decision to Vaxx back with the individual.
The “vax” is Covid-19.
It is what they were working on: a product that slowly destroys your immune system, to the point that it is no longer effective against everyday corona virus.
There was nothing else other than theater that began in Wuhan, and an ongoing media propaganda campaign.
To add to your bile,
Read a News story yesterday, documenting a group of virologists saying there is no way this virus evolved into humans.
Their statement is logical, based on the fact that during the last two years, not a single animal has been found with the virus.
Not one.
They also state that there is a feature in the Covid virus that is not possible to be there naturally, it had to be engineered in. If true, some people, alot of people need yo be executed for murder.
“The vaxx is Covid19.”
Aha, you have got this one.
The sphere of Covid is a lipid coating over an RNA interior. The real worker bees are the S proteins surrounding the sphere. They make contact with the host, fool the host into allowing cellular entry and mutate to avoid attack by the immune response, antibodies.
Why the S protein was picked for the Vaxx antigen, I don’t know. It is the most changeable part of the organism. Variation is the result. I have read that new vaccines are coming that will include parts of the sphere, who knows.
Another bad thing about the S proteins selection, is the violent way the immune system reacts to it as evidenced by the original alpha editions higher mortality rate and the way it attacked the lungs. That tendency would pass through to the vaxx, logically making the vaxx pretty damn tough on the inflammation reaction.
BTW, also read yesterday that Omicron seems to only attack the oropharangeal and bronchial tissues and not the lungs.
As I said a couple of days ago, Omicron may relegate Covid to just another cold virus.
OMG, what is the Deep State going to do without big bad Covid? Maybe they need to build a vaxx based on Omicrons 53 variations in the S protein.
In the meantime, expect our illustrious government to use Omicron to scare us, until the data is in showing it to be relatively harmless to all ages.
My “bile.”
It’s getting tougher and tougher for you, eh?
You bought the Big Lie, and you injected yourself with poison. Just own it and piss off.
One more thing , before I sign off for the night.
( I bet some will be glad to hear that.. )
You know , I could have just lied , and told you I was an atheist , and I don’t believe any of that shit.
Good luck out – voting me , the Antifa , my Rainbow brothers and sisters , and the Mongol Horde.
Fuck off.
Entirely your problem pal.
Or , for example , I have been saying since about three months after the Covid appeared on the radar , that it was a hoax .
( easy bit of research there , just check the blog from March of last year )
I never had to admit to you that I folded like a cheap tent and got the Vax.
I could just as well have played the morally consistent heroine .
Actually the very thought of doing that sort of shit makes me want to throw up .
But I could have.
I don’t suppose any of that ever occurred to you.
Search others for their virtues, thy self for thy vices.”
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
“I could just as well have played the morally consistent heroine .”
Being intimidated into doing something you didn’t want to do by a neurotic parent isn’t immoral. But it is sad, and I’m sorry you let it be done to you. I wouldn’t have. I was simply duped by the early propaganda and made a decision that was rational on one level, but not on another. That’s probably worse, but who’s to say?
We will both doubtless pay a price for our weakness of different sorts.
I hope you get lucky, nevertheless. I don’t feel lucky. And I truly believe what happened to my husband was vaxx-related and may happen again. Properly this time.
And then my family will be fucked, as you have wished.
I’m not saying its your [ Biden’s ] fault [ for inflation ], but you’re going to get the blame for it.
Why should Joe get [ all ] the blame when the FED has been responsible for over a century?
the Fed has kowtowed to the Executive branch now for ten years, keeping interest rates down to promote money supply growth in front of a declining economy. remember, two ways to goose an economy, fiscal and monetary. Biden is trying to goose it with big fiscal spending projects, the Fed has ignored inflationary signals now for a time under pressure from the Obama, Trump and Biden White Houses and kept interest rates way too low. Ever since 2008, the limitations of this country to create economic activity has been limited and thus the monetary brakes have been off. Right now, tightening the money supply with higher interest rates may be the shut down people have anticipated, as the interest on the National Debt may skyrocket allowing less leverage in the spending budget. I guess we will see if Psaki is right and there is no problem with a skyrocketing debt.
Well, it might be over now. With the Fed chairman indicating higher rates in 2022, the dream merchants may be on the ropes. He is trying to avoid higher inflation by controlling the interest rate, gee, the actual function of the Fed.
However, the Biden crowd is going to hate it. If they pass the Build It Better idiocy, the monetary side is going to crack down even more, inflating the interest payments on the 5 trillion additional dollars in the Debt. Like everyone else this damnable government needs to do more with less, instead of kowtowing to the Deep State’s desire to increase federal power.
Screwed and tattooed, no matter what.
Screwed, blued and tatooed.
Like everyone else this damnable government needs to do more with less, instead of kowtowing to the Deep State’s desire to increase federal power.
Not just this government. Republicans since Reagan at least have spent like drunken sailors when in power, and whenever the Dems have the black cars, suddenly they become “concerned” about debt, and spruikers of “fiscal responsibility” – somewhat hypocritical!
Bring it back! Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Very entertaining program.

It’s really too bad it doesn’t effect her and every other person in a position of power who has encouraged the defund the police movement. At the same time the police are obviously still problematic because as we see some/many? of them will turn their guns on patriotic legacy Americans if given the order or encouraged by the anarcho-marxists. The anarcho-marxists are seriously a cancer. So nothing in the current order can be trusted because it could be contaminated with the cancer. If we ever get our own communities and land there will have to be a loyalty pledge and test for civil servants and breaking those pledges will be punishable and the sentence is public execution.
Politicians do not need to be smart.
They are life failures that can bullshit their way through the statement,
Do nothing – Make excuses. Especially in the Deep State.
With a 98% return rate, it is easy, obviously.
BTW, it is this statement in the Deep State that killed Trump. He wanted to do things to change DC. They stopped him cold.

LOL! No surprises there. Cue: 3, 2, 1… but, but, but… DATA!
Sarcastic as always. The lack of observable data is exactly why the governments are getting away with selling their snake oil.
Still blissfully ignorant, as always. No, the proliferation of blatantly FALSE data is why they got away with it in the first place. And people like you lined up at the trough to get your fill of it.

That’s been circulating for a while and I don’t doubt they were planning it back then.
But I think the IQ comment is simplistic (and not just because I fell for it back in Jan), because lots of people with objectively high IQs have fallen for it while others with lower IQs haven’t.
It’s about a lot of things, including overall trust in governments. There are a lot of bright people in Singapore, for example, but there’s a very high level of confidence in what is a paternalistic/authoritarian government that people generally think works for their benefit.
As I tend to point out occasionally, Dr Robert Malone took it and so did Steve Kirsch and his entire family. Neither of these people is stupid.
And psychologists, psychiatrists and military vets have testified to Reiner Fuellmich’s committee that they consider the public to have been subjected to military-grade psychological warfare and terrorism, so I tend to think people should be given some slack. Although less and less as more evidence appears. But the psychological warfare is doubling down too.
It’s about a lot of things, including overall trust in governments.
Exactly. The difference between myself and some of my PhD friends/family is that I had an inherent distrust of the media and authority figures when the “pandemic” hit…whereas they did not.
They may be right. I may be wrong. Who knows. But the point is this decision wasn’t about IQ, it was more about world view and the willingness to believe authoritative sources (or the lack thereof).
The Hegelian Dialectic, running constant psyops, is why people trust mommy and daddy government.
We start to lose trust? Here comes another Pearl Harbor or 9/11.
Easy peasy.
My father developed comms for the NSA when santa clara valley was still all defense.
He always warned me the cold War was a complete fraud crafted to ensure steady employment. Aka the MIC.
My wife, the very good & obedient student, has greater trust in authority, but will change tack given new information.
Who got jabbed and who didn’t? But will there be a follow up jab? That’s a firm no.
The easiest way to demonstrate that govt in no way, shape or form represents the people is to simply point out the viet nam memorial.
No punishment, no fines, no public approbation. All swept under the rug with the feeble excuse that “mistakes were made”.
md here, yes it was simplistic. They all deserve compassion. They have been going to government schools and churches [ 501C3 = hired help ] as well as watching television most of their lives.
….whereby “vaccines” are defined as messenger Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecular in vivo gene therapies.
It sounds very much exactly like what is happening now. But it does bring some more questions into the equation. I agree with Alba and Mr. Mango that the injection campaign is targeting people who believe in government and the truthiness and goodness of the existing structures of power. Which btw, is actually at least initially counterintuitive because one might imagine that the elite would want to target and neutralize independent minded people who have an inherent distrust in their systems, rather than those who eagerly embrace obedience to them. One would imagine that the elites would only want the most subservient left behind after the depopulation campaign. So it isn’t entirely clear what the overall strategy is in that regard at least in my view.
BOTH the gain-of-function virus AND the vaccines are providing mainly compassionate early involuntary retirement to hosts classified by genotype, phenotype and epigenetically-induced co-morbidities, such as cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, shortened telomeres, AND the persistent presence of the cell-structure molecules produced by benzodiazapenes, grain alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, natural and synthetic opiates, HIV, and sexually-transmitted diseases.
……without getting too deep in the weeds, the above-named molecules readily attach to human cellular structures, providing a much easier method of spike protein attachment, via said molecular pathways, and subsequent cellular deep penetration and replication, within the unwitting host.
This method of early involuntary retirement addresses Bill Gates primary concern of reducing the cost of healthcare to those members of society who are OR destined to be “non-essential”, with maximum plausible deniability.

I don’t doubt any of that
Yes.
It is a diabolical elimination of “wasteful healthcare expenditures”.

There was always a proportion of people even in the UK who distrusted the government in general – many people already saw them as a London-centric cosmopolitan elite out of touch with ordinary people.
However the PTB played a blinder here by grooming us with admiration for the plucky NHS workers (most of them are indeed plucky and the NHS could never have survived without the unpaid hours its staff put in). But trust for the injections was bought, I think, via trust in the NHS, which has genuinely been there for even the poorest since 1948. There are endless programmes on TV about ’24 hours in A&E’ and suchlike.
But the people at the top (e.g. Simon Stevens, who was until recently head of the NHS, is a ‘friend of the WEF’ and is now sitting in the House of Lords for services rendered) are not the same as the people at the coal face. And it’s not the people at the coal face who planned all this.
God is not His name, it is a title.
Based on
“He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
when a person says “I’ll be godamned” it means ‘I don’t believe it’ not that he is taking God’s name in vain.
If we would judge ourselves we would not be condemned.
All that aside, JP makes some excellent points about finding your voice [ iow – judging ourselves ]:

It’s very sad and angering too. But for them it is a brilliant move. To use trust as a weapon. The devil can cloak himself as an angel of light.
The elites don’t care who they kill. They probably get an extra kick out of killing the subservient, though. That’s a psycho thing. Ever watch them torture someone in a movie? The more the person begs for their life, the more glee they get out of it. The rest of us who don’t comply? They can make us do so by other means. Which is why you’re seeing them attempt to starve people and taking away their livelihoods.
Yes definitely, I agree with you I think may of those that are involved in all of thus enjoy inflicting pain and suffering. They may not have even started out that way but I honestly think a lot of these people are downright Satanists. And many of them are naturally sociopathic and yes, many are psychopaths.
I think you make an excellent point

I bemoan the fact that over 50% of the people of this country bought Biden’s campaign BS last year.
These are your government dependent folks.
We are getting 50000 more of them every month. In NY, they are getting the vote.
The election was stolen John. Biden did not win an election. He was installed
Jeez, do we still need to revisit that? Oh yeah, this is JAZ your responding to. His naivete is astounding! He still thinks things are on the up and up.
Oh yeah, here comes Disaffected with his sarcastic view of everything. Insult me all you want,I will never share your twisted viewpoint.
SSL
Whether you think that the election was stole, I do too, or not, the fact remains that enough people in this country are government dependent to make the election appear legit. That is the bitch of it and it IS getting worse every month Biden is there.
OK, that I will. You’re an ignorant, self-important poser presuming to be some sort of health care policy auteur. How about that? Dip shit.

I was listening to Steve Bannon and Raheem Kassam last night and they both mentioned where they think the covidians are going to go in the next couple of months. Think about it. Makes sense to me given everything else they have done.
Vax to Vote
Brilliant.
Tanx!!
I mentioned Vax to Vote to my covid-knowledgable local postman this morning and he said he didn’t want to vote for the scumbags anyway!
But in principle it’s shocking. Although people seem less shockable these days, in a boiling the frog kinda way.
Hope your husband will be OK, GA.
Sounds like he has gone above and beyond in fulfilling his duties as a Doctor in this trying time, and has worn himself out. Get him to retire, or at least cut back. Enjoy life a little bit.
Thanks, brh. He only works part time, and mostly because he doesn’t like having nothing to do!
On hell. You all know by now that all I have to offer are intuitive proofs. I know a couple who pulled their young children out of Sunday school after they came home terrified of the hell they had been taught to fear that day. Those kids are now adults and have asked their parents why they removed religion from their lives as an option because they now have nowhere to rurn in the face of horror. My syblings did the same, in fact my sybs never sent their kids to church and I know of one who asked her parents the exact same question. If God doesn’t exist, why not do drugs or whatever it takes to escape the angst of living and dying?
I was enraged by Ann Barnhardts condemnation awhile back and Jar jumped in to tell me that was exactly what the church teaches, eternal hell, in that case for a presumptive suicide, but also for the unrepentant. This doesn’t square with either my understanding or my faith, though you all know I’m Catholic.
I was raised into post Vatican two Catholicism, and my sorry understanding of the catechism to this very day belies that fact. My syblings invariably correct me should I spout any dogma, they know the dogma well, and have left the whole edifice because of or in spite of it.
So here’s my intuition, … Hell is a burning away of attachment, in exactly the way described by Buddhism. When we die, maybe just before, we are all given a revelation of truth, and I base this belief, among other things, on the sheer number of near death experiences I have read and watched on utoob.
Many people get this revelation much earlier in non life ending circumstances. In my own case, the phrase, “Ask and you shall recieve.”, was answered inside of a year with my celestial experience of an ‘audition’ of Gods being, the trumpets sounding in that aboriginal tale told by the Jarro in gots post and Link (about the electric universe), yesderday.
So people who do go to hell imo, are those who ultimately see the truth about themselves, and understand it, and still reject it out of hand. And that’s not many people. The vast majority of us want purification after we experience real love.
So for all our dead, brothers and others, who are closer than we know, pray for us, as we pray for you.
Looking forward to Qs response here. And yours!
During the Middle Ages, the Church was in charge. Its power was based on fear of death, going to heaven. They ran the show.
Much of the catechism, the teaching of fear of hell, is still based on trying to control the world from Rome.
Periodically, folks on the blog talk about the evil the Vatican drops on the world, and most is true. Everything the Pope does in based on control.
The war started the day Luther nailed his objections on the cathedral door. Also, the day Henry said, I want a divorce.
It continues today, in every Sunday School class, or Communion class conducted by all churches.
The Gospel of Thomas is anti church dogma, the power dogma. He states that Jesus taught that the connection to God is individual, that God is in all of us, that we do not need the intercession of a priest or pastor to have a relationship with God.
Not what the Nicene boys wanted to hear.
God must be held accountable for his atrocities.
Free will given, he’s not the atrocious One.
As for floods and fires etc. , how do we know what is truly just?
Is evil on earth God caused or Man caused?
Humans were put here to manage Earth God’s creation.
We suck at it.
Evil on earth is caused I think by our selfish choices and those of our forefathers right back to that damned apple.
But of course that must have been the plan in the first place, to allow the duality of nature. And apparently we are going back to eden shortly, but 1000 years hence will again bite the apple of death!
We do suck at management! I look at my own life, whoah…
Planet earth did not come with an operating manual.

He takes credit for all of it. After all He is the Creator of all that is, which makes Him responsible.
He is never surprised because He is not limited by time as we are. He can move to and dwell in any nanosecond and spend eternity in it. If you could do this you would be able to ask answer any question or solve any problem. Omniscience.
The tension in creation will be resolved, nicely.

Messi that was long! But good, as always with your stuff. I scanned it.
No, I’m in agreement. My issue was with your inability or unwillingness to just give me a simple answer. When you did, you had to use abstruse symbolism of the different kinds of resurrection, which you probably got from your teacher.
But he himself? He can talk simply when he chooses, as he did in the article.
Hey jaz, be that as it may, in regards to power, the cathlic church now says they would have taken a different tack with Luther. And Martin prayed the rosary every day of his beer swilling, wife loving life, and that former nun apparently made, “the best beer in the burg.”, and I do love lager!
Henry is a strange case, but you know that I believe it was all for a purpose, the ultimate purpose, which we are about to be shown. Given my druthers, I would say it’s about how the Anglican clergy maintained the music and the ancient holiness of the ceremony itself. Oh that we catholics had that music…., not some other foibles.
The connection to God is individual and God is in all of us. The purpose of a church is to magnify the prayer in us to and for God, to make us all into Him, while possible on an individual level, hard to invent the wheel and go to space in one lifetime.
Not saying that we catholics haven’t gone very wrong, gotten off track and now bought the farm with the coof policy.
I gotta tell you John, by some kind of heavenly grace, if I take the eucharist, the bread, the body, in even a half assed state of thankfulness and surrender, I am bouyed for sometimes days, and fall to earth only when I get caught up in the mundane.
You take away evil no.1, power and the church has done many positive things over the centuries. Need less Popes and more Sister Theresa’s.
Amen on the mother Theresas! I had a dream once mother theresa and tony blair were having a convo outside a coffee shop in the first mall ever built, next to the Duomo in Milan., where I had just been. Their convesation was animated, but I heard nothing. A psycharist told me they were my ideal parents. Being a bit of a dream interpreter myself, I disagree. I think they represented good and evil. Thatt conclusion only now coming after years of consideration.

Jar, from below, lol, i think sspx has a mass in Nanaimo, closer to souls neck o the woods. In fact I may have seen soul in church a few weeks ago, not sure, a feeling, a look.
I have a commitment to my fathers regarding their faith & mine, I can do no other. Sorry.
We are all fallen Jar, prophets and patriarchs alike, except Job I think, and Our Blesssed Mother, for sure. So if Solomon couldn’t keep it in his pants, and David put his first wife away, Noah was a drunk, and Abraham whored out Sarah to the Pharoah, how is that NOT LIKE GOD.
HE HAS MANY BRIDES…..AND A FEW SPIES, WHORES, AND DRUNKEN ECSTATICS.
So your final position is that the Church doesn’t believe in eternal hell because you don’t. You ARE the Church much like Fauci IS the Science.
You never cease to amaze. Gerigou-Lagrange diagnosed such as you: You’ve developed the Supernatural virtues but not the mundane, cardinal ones. Ideally, the Holy Spirit can infuse the cardinal virtues with His gifts. But if they aren’t there then it can’t be done. You jumped over an important stage.
God can’t/won’t do what Man refuses to do for himself.
And from all this you think I’m trying to get you to stop going to Church?
The false Pope is going to invalidate the eucharist by changing the consecration. Where are you on the Latin Mass? Got a SSPX close to you? It may become the only option, assuming they don’t cave too.
You’re trying to have it both ways again above. But you get it right and the Church gets it wrong. Being humble in this way (but not in others!) you can’t accept that so you try and make the Church into your dummy and make it say what you want it to say. So humble! Why not just face it squarely like a woe-man and say, I am right, they are wrong?
Some of the early Eastern, mostly Syrian, agree with you, me and Messi. But the Church went another way. According to Messi’s teacher, turning Aeon or Age into Eternity.
The Bible was obviously compiled by very flawed men, as were many of the Old Testament figures we’re supposed to revere. On the Old Testament, check out a liberal classic called “The Sins of Scripture”.
Jarek, can you please, once more tell me simply, clearly and unequivocally exactly how I am off the mark here? Unless it is simply in my understanding of eternal damnation, which I think even the church understands is only for the few, simply through biblical revelation itself, ….eye of the needle, all things being possible with God, and many more.
“closer to souls neck o the woods. In fact I may have seen soul in church a few weeks ago, not sure, a feeling, a look.”
anmari,
Outside of weddings and funerals, I haven’t set foot in any church since I was thirteen. (I have much more sympathy for and with Christians than I used to, though.)
I’m an Advaita Vedantist, if one can label oneself as such.
Gonna look that up soul.. got a long look from a prerty bright lookin guy is all!
Just looked up Advaita Vedanta. There is no individual soul, only one encompassing soul.
Julian of Norwich, God showed her this 5 or 6 hundred years ago.
Like this, …. She saw a man fallen in a ditch. He couldn’t get up. No matter what he did hwas unsuccessful in helping himself. Finally God picked him up and he stood before His throne, haggard, beaten broken.
And he was Christ. And he was all mankind.
So the Jewish midrash got it right.
God blew himself up into infinitesimal bits, to know himself.
Cool Soul. I’m down with that. And to quote Faulkner, “Anything other that that, (soul work), is ephemeral, doomed.” Ok paraphrase not quote. Ha
Do you have “experiences”, in your meditation?
anmari,
“There is no individual soul, only one encompassing soul.”
One has to be careful. Advaita is quite similar to Buddhism here: there is a relative and an absolute, but they’re not, in essence separate. All is Self, Soul, Atman, the Unmanifest (etc) — however you want to phrase it. But ….
Consciousness is the background to everything. It exists in the individual, but the individual doesn’t always (or often) exist with Universal Consciousness. Does that make sense to you?
I like your Julian of Norwich snapshot. Sounds like Divine Grace. One usually has to work very hard for surprising gifts.
I had many experiences, almost all of them when much younger, but I don’t want to go into them here. The main thing is not to cling to them, or to try to bring them back. (That’s just getting out of the present by idealizing the past — taking us away from Grace).
Still, those experiences are important. The Advaita Master Jean Klein calls them fore-feelings (Japanese Zen states them as satori), which gives one confidence on the path.
Blessings.
Thanks soul, my experience meditating under a Guru brought me back to catholicism, by virtue of being entirely too overwhelming to handle w/o a definitive protective structure. All the people who came regularly to the ashram had endless experiences of the senses during meditation. With their 5 senses they experienced the God head.
Julianne was an anchorite, bricked in to the side of a church for life after her initial experiences of God.
Christ showed her something the size of a walnut and said, “This is all that was ever created.”
And one more thing, a biggy. Can’t remember right now.
May you be blue like Arjun.
You are very wise indeed!

The strong dominate the weak. The wolf kills the lamb. This is the harmony. Life feeds on life! You would change that? That’s the sin of Liberalism. Only God can change it.
It is the phenomenon of a group peaceful dolphins retiring the great white shark!
No change required!

Harmony!? No, futility. Life lives on death. The bloodthirsty rule.

Ahhhh tae kwon do, bushido, the way of the sam…… you know
This is a strange question to my way of thinking:
“If God doesn’t exist, why not do drugs or whatever it takes to escape the angst of living and dying?”
It would not occur to me to escape the angst of living in vice just because I didn’t believe in a God.
Doing drugs, drinking, etc. has its own built-in punishment. That’s enough for most people – many of who don’t believe in God.
I teeter between atheism and agnosticism, but I have never been a less good person than I was when I was a Catholic because of it. In fact, in most ways, I’m way better.
This is just a strange line of thinking. You either have a good moral code or you don’t. I don’t really think a belief in a religion has much to do with it. I think nature/nurture/psychological makeup does.
You might be right Mar, but if that is the case, I certainly had none. Morality that is.
Even now, maybe more so than ever it’s a struggle between my belly, my other wants, versus my need, and ‘the good’.

Fundamental survival situations seem to kinda throw a wrench into the innate goodness mechanisms of all creatures.
Stayin’ Alive can be shite.
And then, all of sudden, doncha know, the pea-brained sperm donor jumps into the half frozen river to save his child, which wasn’t actually his at it turns out, and drowns in his failed attempt.
Even the best hearts are many times over but failed saints, it seems.
Hell, please don’t confuse any of my ramblings with intended statements of fact.

Good point tok. Did you catch that bit upstream where got brought up the theory you espouse under guise of electric universe?

Ps tok, that drowned guy is a saint.
@Mary
I resemble your expressed thoughts on “[Why be a decent person if there is no after-death accountability?]”.
I would add that running amuck in the world is totally illogical for this reason.
There has never been a human creature whose existence has not been reliant on the existence, efforts, and assistance of other humans. Sure, there have been short periods of time for some individuals when they were able to exist in the wilds by themselves. But prior to and after those short snippets of time, their dependency on other humans was in full bloom.
So, it makes no sense to “bite the hand that feeds you” or to shit in your own nest. It is illogical to inflict harm on other humans upon whom generally we are all dependent for our survival.
Additionally, a healthy set of empathy genes render those fail videos on YouTube too painful to even watch, and that genetically ordained empathy dictates to our personal code of conduct towards others.
Some people translate these fundamental forces into moral dogma like “do unto others…”. That’s sound programming, I suppose, for the less astute among us, and so, I reckon we can be thankful for religions.
I could be wrong.
~toktomi~
Blacks are perfectly willing to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Why? It’s not rational! Rational? Blacks?
Because like Miltion’s Lucifer they would rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven. Of course some of them think that they built America and can create a Wakanda without us. True delusion. Most have no such fantasies, just wanting what they want and to hell with us or their own future.
And of course ditto for Leftists of all colors and stripes.
TikTok “Logic:”
I do not pray to God as He demands of me.
God does not reveal Himself to me.
Therefore, God does not exist.
And the billions that have experienced God are all Wrong.

TikTok “thinks” that God’s existence is up to him.
Yes, TikTok is a moron.
I was raised in a strict Baptist setting. So strict you may even be able to compare some of it to Islam. No images allowed for display, no music really, no dancing, no drinking, etc. Primitive Baptists believe in eternal hell. Later when I was a teenager my parents started going to a non-denominational church that was really fundamentalist but not Baptist so lots of singing, speaking in tongues, elaborate prayers, etc. In all of my reading and thoughts on it I personally have a really hard time believing in eternal hell. Because the Bible says God is love and I personally believe he loves all of his creation and will redeem it. This is my personal belief because some people interpret from scripture that there is an eternal hell. And the responsibility of guiding people in this regard is intimidating because so grave and cosmic so I don’t want to guide anyone wrong but just sharing my thoughts.
You’ve come far. It’s a relief to give up this terror. But of course the opposite danger is complacency in the face of Ultimate Justice. “Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” remains true and your reticence to talk about your realization is probably wise.

Continuing from yesterday, remember, it’s written that the gothic novel started back in 1764 with Horace Walpole and the ‘Castle of Otranto’. It’s also good to remember that Southern Gothic isn’t really particularly distinctive, outside of the slavery issue, as the gothic style has been around for the last few hundred years. Do a Google search and you’ll find dozens of writers in the genre.
There is a commonality in all of this writing, but slavery (and the civil war and its aftermath) in the South provided such a unique mother lode of darkness and depravity, that good miners like Faulkner could bring forth almost endless treasure. Nuggets from the plight of ‘niggers’, if you will, and wealth from the wantonness of whites.
‘Gone with the Wind’ done in true gothic style could have been fantastic, but probably wouldn’t be nearly as popular. Isn’t there more than just a trace of gothic in Shakespeare?
Here is a quote about ‘War and Peace’ from Ekaterina Chelpanova:
‘The problem of transcending the conventions of realism in Tolstoy’s prose has not been fully explored. Scholars have discussed portraying pandemonium and incorporating elements of Gothic poetics in Anna Karenina, however, War and Peace is still viewed as a purely realistic novel. In my paper I rely on the definition of “Gothic” in literature by Michael Gamer, who understands it not as a specific genre, but as certain poetics that can merge with any other genre and disperse at the borders of a realistic novel. According to Richard Peace, Gothic imagery includes not only supernatural elements in the plot, but also such themes as supernatural intuition, destiny, repeated dreams, and the “pandemonium” of the human soul. War and Peace contains such motives.’
Let’s expand with this:
Melmoth the Wanderer: Grandfather to Gothic and Irish Literature
Charles Maturin’s Melmoth the Wanderer will be celebrating its two hundredth anniversary next year, and it deserves to be celebrated since it is one of the most important Gothic novels of all time, yet few people who are not students of the Gothic have ever heard of it. Published in 1820, the novel was the most popular of the several novels Maturin, an Anglo-Irish and Anglican clergyman, published. It is also one of the last works from the Golden Age of Gothic Literature, ranging from roughly 1790 to 1820 when Radcliffe, Lewis, Shelley, and many other writers published notable Gothic novels. Most importantly, it had a huge influence on many other Irish and Gothic novels that followed it.
The range is a broad one. We can go from Edgar Allan Poe to Joyce Carol Oates. From Charlotte Bronte to Anne Rice. From Mary Shelley to H.P. Lovecraft, on and on.
Isn’t world history just global gothic writ large?
There are certainly parallels to Gothic literature in film noir, at least in that they both deal with the convoluted, sinister, and darker sides of the human moral struggle.
I’m just getting into Japanese noir. Of course, the Japs had to get over their ‘nightmarish nuclear noir’ before copying the style of the ‘Yankee imperialist dogs’. ‘Cruel Gun Story’ with Joe Shishido aired on TCM last Saturday.
Life is good.
So Faulkner was anti-White!
Good reminder: I need to watch “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.” Only vampires would be so mean to Blacks!
“So Faulkner was anti-White!”
jarek i dont know if you’re 24 yr old or a 60yr old sometimes man-child, but it’s moments like this when you sound all of 19
you dont even need faulkner to be anti white in any way to make your best points, and the stretch is so absurd
does criticism of slavery as part of any healthy social structure make one anti-white? sign me right up. death to whites if that’s the case. And death they’ll get if that’s the case.
oh wait, this event is already in progress..
ever heard of someone “clinging to something so hard they destroy it”? thats you and whiteness
The moment Lincoln got the 13th amendment passed, freeing the slaves in the yet undefeated South, the Blacks in slavery entered the competition based economy of the USA.
They have simply, as a group, never risen to the task, using the government as a collective welfare recipient for 150 years. The 1860s amendments were restated in the Civil Rights laws of the 1960s. Large parts of the Black community have still not risen to the task today. They have in their blame game, become mass racists against Whites, Asians, even their own successful Uncle Toms.
Until the Blacks stop blaming everyone but themselves, they will continue to be a indigestible lump of grist in the US economy.
And the primary source of racism and division in the country.
Michel Tofoya had Kaepernick dead in her sights. It is hard to stomach multimillionaires criticizing 150 year old history and trying to destroy the societal glue that the NFL provides. That is what is going on, anyway.

Are you a real Southerner? If so, what a disgrace you are to put ideology before blood. But of course I agree: America signed its death warrant by bringing these people here. And missed its chance to save itself by not sending them out as per Jefferson, Lincoln (the vampire hunter), et al.
i’m a fifth generation swede-american who grew up exclusively in deep south but without roots.
but there are no real southerners. blood is spoiled and diluted now. the only blood that matters much anymore will be forged in the future
and…you cant split blood and ideology. i think you fetishize blood-connection because maybe you lack it, as do most today.
but blood and ideology are inseperable when the blood is real, and if the blood is to stay full of life. blood and ideology are symbiotic, two wings a healthy tribe flies with

Magic Realism has replaced the supernatural hysteria element once popular in Gothic lit. But Magic Realism is now also ironized to death, just one more fatality in our cynical, self-conscious, passionless age of hatred of Art.
The Great Reset will inspire our next Homer or Dante — sober and spiritual world-transforming epics.
A long time ago, I found it tough getting into “One Hundred Years of Solitude”. Not that the reading itself was difficult, but because my mindset was more in tune with something like logical realism, hard facts, and indisputable physical and mathematical laws.
Science fiction was okay because the stretch was fun and often understandable and often in the realm of possibility. Anyway, I’m now more receptive to the wonders of magic and fantasy.
Speaking of irony, it was the late, great Robert Hughes who once said, ‘Modern art is fatally circumscribed by the facile irony and mocking facetiousness of camp’. Or something close to it.
I loved “One Hundred Years.” But I had to laugh when some wag gave Marquez a rib-poke by saying he wrote the same novel again and again. (I kind of agree.)
Interesting take. I actually could never get into SciFi, but have loved Magic Realism, Surrealism (when done well, of course — there’s a lotta bad Surrealist novels out there), psychological horror, farce and hyperbolic comedy ….
Hughes was a great critic. The Shock of the New was excellent.
“So Faulkner was anti-White!”
*eye roll*
I asked you before. Have you read any Faulkner? Yes or no. If so, what novel(s) exactly? If not, your opinion — “anti-White” — is worth as much as tekapo’s when he stated he hadn’t read RFK’s Fauci expose, but thought it was shit, anyway.
when he stated he hadn’t read RFK’s Fauci expose, but thought it was shit, anyway.
I said the regulatory capture analogy Kennedy was pushing in the Intro (pharma v coal) was a blatant strawman, and utter crap on every level … on the basis of that I wager that the whole book is crap. And he is a virulent anti-vaxxer.
And what’s all this dripping condescension about “reading every Faulkner”?

I’m stating my bona fides for weighting in on the discussion, an important point when debating someone who has no familiarity with the subject. It puts the debaters’ background in context to the discussion. Much like you weighing in on a subject, offering your arrogant opinion, without knowing what the fuck you’re talking about.
You haven’t read the book. That’s all one needs to know.
I rarely do this but…..
“to the battle of wits, he came unarmed”
Much like you weighing in on a subject, offering your arrogant opinion, without knowing what the fuck you’re talking about.
I do know what I’m talking about – fact and science based. Your problem is that you don’t like what you hear from an alternative point of view. Makes you crazy.
And he is a virulent anti-vaxxer.

No – vaccines against serious infectious diseases are better than not being vaccinated.
RFK, Jr.’s kids are vaxxed and he’s stated he is a supporter of vaccines.

RFK, Jr.’s kids are vaxxed and he’s stated he is a supporter of vaccines.
We’ve been here before – all his kids are adults, and I suspect that they got vaccinated because they know the big guy-old man is totally fucking nuts. Happens in the best of families.
His “Children’s Defence” outfit is virulently anti-vax – why can’t you own this? What’s your problem … you’re virulently anti-vax too.

Faulkners nobel speech
That’s a timeless speech. Often referred to. Look at all those “big” words he reveres, now — all of them — derided and mocked by liberals.
Listened to Kuschners read on that, much clearer. By this time Faulkner was already dying. The broken hearted man drank himself to an early grave. We all have just about one story in us Soul. I’ve noticed that in authors and in myself.
How do you write? Sit down at a typewriter and bleed. E. Hemmingway
Anti-White in quotation marks? As if it’s not a real thing? Now we see the method in my madness: I fool around a bit and the evil comes out of both you and gus like poison from a wound.
It’s in quotation marks because I’m quoting you. Quotation, here, isn’t used in its ironic presentation.
And instead of answering my question, you’ve deflected, stonewalled, and lashed out like a petulant child. Obviously, you haven’t read Faulkner, but are now too embarrassed to admit that.
I should have known you wouldn’t have been gracious enough to just take the loss. If you’re not going to communicate in good faith, no point in further discussion.
You have consistently misread my emotional tone. I don’t think we can have a profitable internet relationship. I obviously stung you yesterday when I noted the glaring deficit in your post. You didn’t like that and now want revenge. But I did give you good advice…..
Give me your best take on a Faulkner novel, Jarek. (No peeking at wiki narrative synopsis now.)
all love . i legitimately want to see your many quality ideological stands and passion unmuddied by your sloppier ideological takes
thats my wound lol
i agree with sf that faulkner is worthy of respect and reading. some of the best lit is early 20th century, and faulkner is probably king for me
the issues we deal with today were just less apparent to a faulkner in 1925. your article didnt straddle that timespan skillfully enough
Melmoth sounds like a superman, like vampires in general. That far more than just freaks, geeks, queers, and inbreds as per Southern Goth as presented in the article.

Well starting next week ‘Vaccine Passports’ will be issued in the State of Ct. Not clear on how they will work. Will you need a Vaccine Passport to enter a grocery store? We don’t know yet.

You’re making an assumption, it seems, they know what they are doing. Not being one to trust government to be anything but inefficient, your tracfone will present a problem. Likely an immediate disqualifier for access to many essential items for everyday living.

Although cell phones are very convenient, they are new and rely on a lot of energy tech. What if a significant (to be determined) number of people stopped using them? Or, the energy source deterioration situation accelerates? Interesting times.
Just expanding on your question, which is a good one.
Getting rid of my “smartphone” as we speak for a Jitterbug flipper. Just puts mums (85 and fading fast) in a nursing home, so I’m buying us each one and putting her bill on my tab. Very reasonable all around, uses Verizon towers, and with voice to text, my only objection to flippers (hard to text with) has been solved, so what’s not to love? Never did see the attraction in squinting at the damn cluttered smart phone screens, when all I need is a damn phone to communicate with.
I’m rapidly becoming a self-imposed recluse/hermit anyway, so fuck the bastards and all their bullshit.
I never had a “smart” phone. Went straight from landline to flip.
Money well spent. Throwback is good whenever you can find it these days.
Living in the Past..,,,in the present!
Perfect alignment to the emerging world made by hand!
My mom passed a couple of years ago. She, too, was in a nursing home. We bought here one of those Jitterbug phones, hoping she could talk to her friends. The phone, unknown to us, had one of those emergency medical buttons on it. Her fine coordination of pushing buttons was not up to the task and she had backlogs of calls into the emergency number. Not long, we had the service discontinued, after having a not too nice conversation with the service. She never got the hang of the phone even with big buttons.
I was amazed by how many abilities she lost as she aged in the last three years. Passed at 93.
My mom passed at the same age, and had the same accelerated decline, although at that age it’s not too surprising, at least for me, just hard to watch.
How sad, losing even those basic, simple abilities.
You try, it is the best you can do. We had a similar experience, touchpads became an issue. After locating suitable assisted living there was no need for the phone. Lucid conversations eventually became few to just about nonexistent anyway.
I think the phone will still ping the towers.
With this it will keep track of location.
I remember I had to get a replacement phone many years ago because the perfectly functional phone I had did not track location.
The plus side of this is in an emergency the phone can be located to within a few metres. A person would not need to know their exact location. This was the stated reason for replacing the phone. It is valid.
The minus side is the phone can be located to within a few metres. Tracking is continuous. Everywhere one goes is tracked. This raises a huge privacy issue.
2 mètres is about 6 feet, sound familiar? I’m not going there, just pointing it out.
The system compares signal strength and votes the strongest signal, designed to give the best service. It also hands the radio signal off to adjacent towers using this system as the phone moves.
There was an experiment I watched with the phone turned off and the wearer walked around for a while, eventually went to a location and turned the phone on. Within a few minutes, with the equipment they used for the experiment, they watched the phone load all the locations visited while it was supposedly “off”. Unfortunately I do not recall the link, however it was a version of a Samsung smartphone, performed by a local news station in a US city.
On a slightly different topic, I keep a piece of tape over the camera on laptops and desktops. I’m considering options for defeating the audio pickup.
Oh they have a plan for the folks who don’t have a smartphone or iphone. That’s just step 1. They will get us used to that, and then it will be chippin’ time. Once we’re branded, voila! No need for phones. You become scannable.
What if I don’t want the chip? What are they going to do?
It will be like these vaxx passports, you will be scanned everywhere. No chip, no place to go.
The power supply for the chip lasts for years.
However, when we go over the energy cliff, the game could change. Remains to be seen.

“I still do not understand how they get the models of the S proteins…”

Ha, I believe it.
I have heard of genetic sequencing, whatever that is. It is based on models, relatives to the models that say that mRNA and S proteins stay in the muscle thus do not present hazards to other parts of the body.
The S proteins were taken from other known viruses.

I posted the following long comment about a year and a half ago. Since another batch of “believers” have arrived here on CFN I felt it was time for a re-post.
Concerning the existence, or not, of God or Gods:
I throw plural God(s) into the title because there are, or have been, people (the Greeks? Romans? Hindus?) muddying up the waters with their multiple deities. Declaring through their literature that they not only exist but interact in real time with humans, even having coitus (hat tip to Sheldon Cooper) and producing offspring… sort of human/spirit mulattos. But I’m going to set aside multiple Gods to simplify the discussion.
Each day after breakfast I repair to my office/man-cave and activate my computer which I never turn off. It’s in screen saver mode. I click on the Chrome icon and a Bing screen appears with the photo of the day, usually a gorgeous nature scene. Awhile ago the pic was a shot of a canyon somewhere in the US west (but not the Grand Canyon) taken in the evening. Toward the bottom there is the space between two imposing gray shear canyon walls filled with water and above and between the walls one of the most impressive star filled night skies I’ve ever seen. This got me to thinking about time, space and the alleged God who created it all. Time, for now, will remain a subject for another day.
BTW, the stars were all in our Milky Way Galaxy as seen with the naked eye which may have included another galaxy (Andromeda). I gather there are a few smaller and closer galaxies but they can’t be seen with the unassisted eye.
I Googled that scientists believe there are at least 100 billion galaxies. The Milky Way and its larger neighbor, Andromeda, are 2.5 MILLION light years apart and light travels 186,000 miles per second. You start putting 2 and 2 together and you begin to have the barest inkling of the vastness of it all… and God created all of it (in 6 days which didn’t exist as a unit of measure until Earth was set spinning on its axis, then rested a day which became the Sabbath) down to the most distant mote of dust and along with it the laws of physics, like gravity and atomic structures, by which it all hangs together and operates. The whole shebang is either 13.8 billion years old or 6,000 years old depending on what religious or non-religious story or calculation you buy into. I’m going with the bigger number. Actually I believe time is infinite going both backward and forward if time can even be said to exist at all.
So here we are, you, I, and our earthly cohort, the only known life, much less intelligent life, in the universe, on a common satellite of a common star in a common galaxy. And aren’t we the lucky ones to be alive at this present moment and not dead and gone ages ago? I would love to be around long enough to see how everything turns out but, alas…
So God, for whatever rationale, decided to focus his attention on planet Earth and to create life of all sorts there and each of the humans had an animating principle of life called a soul. Common sense would say that all OTHER life must have had souls too (right down to the billions of bacteria in your intestinal tract) and God is keeping an eye on all these lives and souls at all times. You might wonder “how does he or she do it?” Actually it’s easy when your God, omniscient, present everywhere, and all powerful.
So God, for reasons of his own, focused on a people variously referred to in Scripture as Hebrews, Israelites, Jews, etc in a specific area of the planet we currently call the mid-east. Why not Mongolia or Central America or Burkina Faso? Who knows? And God was concerned with the welfare of these Hebrews to the exclusion of all others. He (for simplicity in writing I am portraying God with male gender although, again, common sense would say he has no need for reproductive genitalia of any type) named them his ‘chosen’ people. He communicated regularly with certain leaders of this people and helped them escape slavery under the Egyptians and gain dominance over all other peoples who stood in their way while advancing to a promised land. This often involved miracles to achieve certain purposes in the mid-east of Earth. Somehow this doesn’t seem like fair treatment of Others from a perfectly just God. But maybe fair, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
God gave the Hebrews a whole set of laws to live by and God forbid (pun intended) they should violate them or there would be, and often was, Hell to pay. So many rules and regs. Having read thus far 68% of the Old Testament, many questions come to mind. For example, why would God be pleased by the slaughtering of animals as sacrifices? I’m pretty sure God has no need to eat or drink. These sacrifices, known as holocausts are endless in the OT. How can such a supreme being be pleased or displeased about anything? You’d think he would be above such lowly concerns.
Another thing is the obsession with circumcision. Sure, I can appreciate there might be health issues with head cheese and all but nowhere in my reading thus far has God explained why he wanted foreskins cut off. And not only Jews’ foreskins (note I am switching to calling these people Jews for simplicity in writing) but the foreskins of males of enemy peoples.
There is a story in the OT (I will paraphrase but the numbers I use will adequately demonstrate the gist of the story). God directed the Jews to send out some warriors to meet the enemy and bring back 100 foreskins. The Jewish commander figured if 100 foreskins was good 1,000 foreskins was better. And so he brought back 1,000.
What’s up wit dis? After awhile I had to stop reading the Bible even though I had committed to myself that I would read the whole thing cover to cover. It was often too violent and gross but worse, ridiculous in the extreme. And yet there are Jews who believe these stories word for word as long as it’s the right Hebrew version. What are the odds these stories came down to the present without error and, more important, were not the concoction of a narcissist on a power trip? Zero, zilch, and nada.
I never got to the New Testament. But I don’t want to be too hard on the Jews because the back story of every religion that ever was or is is totally ridiculous as well. How about the Ganesha story in Hinduism. That’s a corker. What about Muhammad’s (Islam) night flight around the world on a winged horse? Don’t hold me to the details. And then there is Mormonism… Don’t get me started on Joseph Smith and the angel (Boney :-)) Moroni. And what about the whirling Dervishes? Aren’t they the ones that never lie down or sit down – EVER – or am I confusing them with some other sect? Jesus H. Christ!
All of these religions, particularly the ancient ones (although the modern ones are equally as appalling) make a certain sense given the general ignorance of the people in those distant times. Lightning would strike because God was angry and thunder was clouds bumping into each other (or was that from Beatrix Potter and not the Bible?). The religion of each people was, of course, the one true religion and God created these favored people first. No religion ever came second and was never NOT the one true religion. That would be absurd on its face. Their God was the one true God to the exclusion of competing claims of others. And theirs was first. It’s like every town in America, it seems, claims to have the very first McDonald’s restaurant. Or the absolute best pizza anywhere. Ever noticed this? It’s uncanny and people believe these myths.
And all religions have Scriptures inspired by the Big Guy, not dreamed up by a regular person with an active imagination and a gift for turning a phrase, and any others extant are bogus. Oh the endless wars and death these writings have caused. Truth be known, these scriptures were written by men who created God in man’s image by anthropomorphizing Him. Not the other way around. By necessity God had to look, act and think like a human. Man and the universe could not be envisioned in any other terms.
Most religions find it natural to proselytize. To go out and bring in fresh blood (members). Getting other people to believe as you do gives a warm feeling that comes with having your biases confirmed. Even if the recruits have to be tortured into conversion. The Mormons of Salt Lake City manage to proselytize by coming to your door wearing suits and ties or, if female, wearing flat shoes, no makeup, and long dresses showing minimal skin. Plain but wholesome. They are polite and clean as hounds teeth. There is no torture other than in trying to get them to leave after you have heard all you can bear to hear of their sales pitch. And they leave you with handouts to peruse. From all I can tell, this is a successful religion with great and genuine charity especially to neighbors and fellow members. And, in their favor, they are not opposed to seeking and accumulating the almighty dollar.
Christianity in its many forms and endless offshoots is the big guy on the block, especially Catholics, but I perceive their efforts at retaining members, much less recruiting new ones, is nearly in free fall. People have wised up to the sale of indulgences racket to buy time off from purgatory where you are tortured in fire until your sins are purged and you’re fit to proceed into heaven. Well, it sure beats eternity in Hell. They – the fallen-away – question the mumbo jumbo of 3 persons in one God, the virgin birth, and all sorts of miracles like the loaves and fishes, Jonah and the whale, and the raising of Lazarus from the dead stories. It is all a bit much for a modern man (in which term I include women despite their howls of being placed in a secondary position) with at least a Junior HS degree and two eyes. Yet there are many totally committed fundamentalist “Evangelicals” who believe their scriptures verbatim. The mind boggles.
The Jews are kind of unique. They don’t proselytize. In fact they seem to discourage anyone from joining their very exclusive organization (as George Carlin is famous for saying in a different context, “it’s a big club and you ain’t innit.”) They don’t want Jews marrying non-Jews especially Goy women because any offspring of a non-Jew woman is not truly a Jew. They don’t want to come to dinner at your house and eat on your un-kosher dishes unless they are half-baked Jews who would leave home without their yarmulka on. Being a Jew goes much deeper than a set of beliefs. It is a full blown culture that includes the maintenance of genetic purity to a degree where they themselves see the dangers of inbreeding (two heads, mongolism, flipper arms, or whatever) and take mitigating steps. But they are extremely successful at passing on traditions which makes them one people no matter where they reside. I am thinking of the Passover Seder dinner (I have attended a few) where readings are done in Hebrew (just try reading backwards, it’s like driving in England :-)) and the opening words, if memory serves me, are “Why is this night different from all other nights?”
Sooo, with all God has on his plate with the vastness of the universe and all the probable life out there of which trillions are probably intelligent (and who can say for sure a bacterium is not intelligent?), God speaks Hebrew, writes Hebrew and is, in fact, a Hebrew God. Riiiight.
Even with all the absurdities I’m poking fun at, I have not even scratched the surface. Is it any wonder I long ago became a non-believer? Do you ever wonder what is going on in the mind of your pet cat? Well I wonder about what’s in the minds of otherwise smart people on this blog site. No need to name names. You know them when they quote chapter and verse numbers without having to even glance at their well-worn book of myths, sagas, fables and yarns.
That’s quite the uplifting Christmas message, Q.
The Q. Man lays down the law. Nicely argued, no matter what you think of the message.
They don’t want Jews marrying non-Jews especially Goy women because any offspring of a non-Jew woman is not truly a Jew
Someone told me is sis married a rabbi wanna be and despite her not being jewish, the children get free holidays in Israel courtesy of some organization.
I read a funny story about some brit businessman, his wife wanted the children raised jewish.Neither were jewish.
he wasnt suspicious enough to do testing.
he ws not the father of his jewish children.
I think Rulo is like this. He worked on a kibbutz but insists he isn’t Jewish. He refused to say if it I was right but I assume I am. Takes after his father.
Because of the high number of intermarriages, there is talk about opening membership up to people with non-Jewish mothers.
When I came here you raked me over the coals for being a jew. Remember you catch more flies with honey J, no matter how your dad thought, spoke, or acted. You diminish the faith with your over the top hate. Granted there are some few in collusion and some who would conqueor the world. But not your average “bear”.
No, wrong. Your wildly pro-Jewish attitude is at odds with Catholicism. That’s what I took issue with. I think I asked you if you were Jewish, once.
Rulo is destructive, but he is far too clever for you to ever see it.
The above isn’t hateful. He acted weird and I asked him about it. No answer. So this is my theory.
Do you know any non-Jews who work on Kibbutzes? I’ve never heard of any. It’s something you’d do I suppose….
I will tell you Again. I looked into it because Israel is prohibitively expensive!
according to those who go thru hypo regressions, not only is hell waiting but there are cold hells. Buddhists acknowledge cold hells.
Dante’s lowest (most punishing) of his 9 circles of Hell was the one of ice.
he must have had glimpses.
It’s why we feel cold when true evil approaches.
Well, if enough people abandon the Faith, Christainity will eventually go the way of Mithraism or Zorasterism. Islam will most likely move in to fill the vacuum. Already in the UK and Europe, indeed even in this town, abandoned churches and chapels have been transformed into Mosques.
And maybe the past will become the future, when two regimes, monstrous in their atheism, Bolsheviks and Nazis, battled it out in the Bloodlands in E Europe in a war that left 30 million dead.
Numbskull.
Jains have very few in numbers.
Zoras are small in number. Meher Baba was one. quality not quantity.

The Kepler space telescope expected to find ~50 “earth-like” planets. It found (maybe) one, possible two but their signatures could just as easily be ‘noise’. Kepler’s major discovery was that our sun is on the extreme right side of a normal distribution of similar stars in terms of solar activity (i.e., it is extremely “quiet” as stars of its type go). Might this have some bearing on the existence of life here on earth?
Further, Earth’s moon is an unusual satellite in terms of its size relative to its planet. It keeps the earth’s rotation stable. Without the moon, our earth would at random times change its axis of rotation. Climate would be radically affected to the point where only the simplest microbes could survive.
There hasn’t been discovered any essential reason why our planet has the amount of water it has. It might have been fully covered with water in its formation, thus preventing the generation of an advanced technological species. Or it might have received little to no water from comets in its formation. Was this accidental that it received just the right amount of water for life to arise?
It was unusual that Jupiter stopped its inward migration toward the sun in the formation of our solar system. Most giant gas planets continue their inward course & assume a very close orbit around their stars (“hot Jupiters”) closer in than the orbit of Mercury. The existence of Saturn at just the right distance out from Jupiter stopped Jupiter in its tracks from continuing its inward migration, which would have thrown the earth & the other rocky inner planets out into the void.
We live in a tight “Goldilocks zone” where liquid water is possible on the surface. This also allows plate tectonics & a recycling of the elements essential to life (the Carbon cycle). Enabling the circulation of the core & mantle, the earth becomes a giant magnet which prevents the solar wind from stripping the earth of its atmosphere & protecting its biosphere.
The presence of the gas giants outside the inner planets may very well act as a kind of barrier to the incursions of most comets & meteors from encroaching on the inner planets thus fostering the evolution of advanced forms of life.
When you combine all these improbabilities, it becomes unlikely in the extreme that there are “trillions” of intelligent species out there (& no a bacterium is not intelligent). In fact we may be the only intelligent species in our galaxy. This doesn’t prove anything about God, because a kind of self-selection bias (the Anthropic principle) is at work here, but it does mean that the earth is almost certainly a special place in the cosmos.
I meant to say “extreme left side of a normal distribution…”
Yes, it’s good to look beyond the Earth, see the improbability of it all, and rejoice!
[…] but it does mean that the earth is almost certainly a special place in the cosmos.
There are other analyses – bases on probabilities also – that suggest there could be millions or billions of planets much like ours that have intelligent life. Depends on what you’re hoping for.
I don’t think we’re specially, and certainly not divinely created.
All the evidence accumulated over the last few decades points in the opposite direction.
Good stuff Q, and right, wtf is up with all that circumcision? It’s a damned desecration of those ‘boys in the hood’!

I have no idea what you history is, in relation to the opposite sex, TS, but all the many women I have related to are mightily pleased that I am circumcised.
Females of the species much prefer it. Which is why it is a good thing. End of story.

“But I’m going to set aside multiple Gods to simplify the discussion.”
Simplifying the discussion will not resolve it. Many g-o-d-s [ rule-makers ] is exactly the problem. The first commandment addresses it head-on. This is THE reason for all the chaos and oppression in the world system. Wars of the gods – and of course their soldiers do the bleeding and dieing.
“We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no [ legitimate ] God but one. For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called [ false = lieing/usurping ] gods and lords), yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we exist. And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we exist.…”
Avoiding the main issue leaves us free to argue about all the details.

The new No Nonsense NYPD Police Commissioner is a black woman named Kechant Sewell. She was sworn in yesterday in Queens, in front of a mural featuring Malcolm X, Nat Turner, Angela Davis, and cop killer Assata Shakur. Al Sharpton was in attendance. The new Commish said a few words, not about the unprecedented violence and blood soaked mayhem occurring daily on city streets and how she will be dealing with it, but about “breaking the glass ceiling”, and “showing girls of color that anything is possible.”
It doesn’t really inspire a lot of confidence that order and a sense of stability and safety will be restored in NYC anytime soon, if ever. The Big Apple might be a good place to avoid whenever possible IMHO.

Undergraduate 1960s … big yawn.
@anmari et al:
Here’s an online quiz I took the other day. It shows the Roman Catholic vs. the Protestant viewpoint supposedly. Each response shows the Catholic position or the Protestant position on doctrine. I could only identify one question however that is clearly Catholic vs. Protestant. I scored 6 out of 10 Protestant. These questions are closely reasoned so it’s difficult at least for me to see much difference in them. See how you do. I will give the answers in a later post.
1. a. God gives a man right standing with Himself by mercifully accounting him innocent & virtuous.
b. God gives a man right standing with Himself by actually making him into an innocent & virtuous person.
2. a. God gives a man right standing with Himself by placing Christ’s goodness & virtue to his credit.
b. God gives a man right standing with Himself by putting Christ’s goodness & virtue into his heart.
3. a. God accepts the believer because of the moral excellence found in Jesus Christ.
b. God makes the believer acceptable by infusing Christ’s moral excellence into his life.
4. a. If a sinner becomes “born-again” (the regenerating, transforming process of character), he will achieve right standing with God.
b. If the sinner is granted right standing with God through faith (“born-again”), he will then experience transformation of character.
5. a. We receive right standing with God by faith alone.
b. We receive right standing with God by faith which has become active with love.
6. a. We achieve right standing with God by having Christ live out His life of obedience in us.
b. We achieve right standing with God by accepting the fact that He obeyed the law perfectly for us.
7. a. We achieve right standing with God by following Christ’s example by the help of His enabling grace.
b. We follow Christ’s example because His life has given us right standing with God.
8. a. God first pronounces that we are good in His sight.
b. God sends His spirit to make us good, & then He will pronounce that we are good.
9. a. Christ’s finished work on the cross & intercession at God’s right hand gives us favor in the sight of God.
b. It is the indwelling Christ that gives us favor in God’s sight.
10. a. Only by the imputation of Christ’s righteousness through faith can we fully satisfy the claims of the Ten Commandments.
b. By the power of the Holy Spirit living in us, we can fully satisfy the claims of the Ten Commandments.
A mumbo jumbo word salad and crock.
How’s your “study” of stock prices to prove they aren’t insane coming, lol? Any word from the WSJ or NYT?
And it’s not a crock. Near as I can tell, these questions mostly have to do with the question of Free Will.
Ignorance instilled by emphasis on one part of salvation and ignoring the rest.
Justification happens once. Some call it being “born again”. Some say ‘once saved always saved’. If they would say ‘once justified always justified’ then you could move on to being sanctified.
Sanctification begins when you are washed on the blood, baptized into [ eis ] Christ and begin “working out your salvation” just like a baby becomes a toddler, then a child, then a teenager, then an adult [ mature ]. Too many have arrested development [ needing milk ] because they were taught nothing about the whole council of God.
When two people disagree it does not mean one is right and one is wrong.
They could both be tight or both wrong because of what part of the issue they are emphasizing.
Let’s throw out all the commandments and traditions of men [ denominationalism ], start using bible words for bible things, and let the Holy Spirit lead us into all Truth.
Quit eating food [ the Word ] mixed with dung [ private interpretations ].
Interesting. Here’s wikipedia on Justification.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justification_(theology)
We are saved in our spirit [ justification ]. We are being saved in our life [ soul – a spirit living in a body ]. We will be saved in our body [ resurrected ].
Tripartite being – [ body, soul, spirit ] made in the image.
“Imputed righteousness is the righteousness of Jesus credited to the Christian, enabling the Christian to be justified.” –(“signature doctrine of the Lutheran & Reformed…”)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imputed_righteousness
These terms, “imputing,” “imputation”, “accounting,” “credited,” “to his credit,” “claims of ,” sound like business or legal terms.
Others like “infusing,” (Roman Cath.)… (as opposed to “imputing,”) seem to leave out free will. But I’m not interested in this too much. “This” being a typical college-dorm late night “bull-session” subject (leave out the grrls, they never talk about such matters.)
And is it true that once justified, always justified? I’m not aware, is there a Catholic – Protestant divide here?
“And is it true that once justified, always justified?”
I think you are asking – if a person who is justified falls away into sin, is he still going to be saved?
“For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.”
“Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.”
You can’t be justified again again because you cant be born again again. We are crucified with Christ. So you can’t be crucified again again.
If you repent [ change mind ] again again – then you are forgiven and restored to fellowship. God saves to the uttermost.
You are saved by faith, not by baptism. Seeking to be baptized again shows you didn’t get it the first time.
Being baptized into a denomination is not the same thing as being baptized into Christ.

I didn’t do it your way. I tried to figure out which answer I thought was correct. So I’m 60% Protestant in my thinking & 40% Catholic, haha whatever. Clearly, 5. is the big Prot/Catholic divide so that was easy. I don’t know how the others are reasoned according to church theology. Here’s the website I took this from.
https://christiananswers.net/q-eden/catholic-protestant_test.html
Thanx tate. Needed that. So I’m what, 70 Percent something….
Well, since you didn’t ascribe any “correct” answer which is what I did, I don’t know. For example, I answered b to No. 5, which I think should be the correct answer, even though I was raised a Protestant. Were you ever required to actually think about these kinds of questions?
Tate
I just did this quickly but to the best of my flawed ability – and after 20 years ‘out’ – and got 10 x P.
Not sure what that indicates, good or bad. I expect Jarek would know, although it might indicate to him that I am irrevocably lost.
I had no impression, while I was doing it, of one being P and the other being C. Maybe that just means I don’t know much about Catholicism.
I did try tate, but it was worded such that only a prot could understand imo.
I didn’t mean anything by it, anmari. I wasn’t required to either. But I learned a little something about “imputed” etc, which I included in a reply to Messianic above.
GreenAlba, that’s impressive. You must have received rigorous instruction in the mysteries of the Anglican sect. Were you trying to answer what a Protestant would say? Or what you think is the correct answer regardless of the ecumenical split (even though you say you’ve given up on God because of the Hellfire question)? I doubt there’s any Hell like it’s popularly imagined. But I do believe there’s a Satan roaming this world.
Never required to think period tate. My church, as opposed to my syblings, was hippy dippy shitty music, novus ordo mass and me at the altar as a server at maybe 9 y/o.
I do remember one sunday school class a lady asked us something. But no memories. My sybs had the old hellfire catholicism beaten into them by a bunch of angry clergy, monks n nuns. Lol. They got the education. I got faith, later. Trade off.
Tate
Re ‘giving up’, you must have missed some of my posts. I drifted away gradually for 20 years (not just because of the hellfire question but to do with things in my personal life).
I jumped, rather than drifted, back this last summer, hopping off my agnostic fence for what I imagine will be for good (somewhat mirroring the earlier experience of the writer A.N. Wilson!).
I’m not Anglican. I was brought up in the Presbyterian tradition (i.e. United Reformed while I lived in England, and Church of Scotland since coming back here in 1978. I have no particular attachment to Presbyterianism specifically. In fact I’m somewhat attracted by the Episcopal tradition, which is basically the Anglican communion outside of England (also the Church of Ireland is Anglican).
The Anglican Church is not really ‘protestant’ in the same way as the non-conformist churches and chapels. It is historically just the RC church stripped of its allegiance to Rome as a result of Henry VIII wanting to marry Anne Boleyn, although its theological stance has evolved with time. So it’s kind of a half-way house between Catholicism and other protestant traditions. It has a spectrum of practice, from High Church (sometimes called Anglo-Catholics – bells and smells) and Low Church. I don’t know that much about it, but I’m sure Wiki would help!
I just answered the questions according to my reading of theology in my younger days. I only listened to the Bible in church – I have to own up to not sitting at home reading it back then, to any great extent. But I read huge amounts of Christian apologetics, including C. S Lewis. So maybe it’s that as well as the sermons!
I certainly didn’t do it with any knowledge of the difference between Protestantism and Catholicism on those particular questions. My knowledge of Catholicism is not at all detailed. I know they have seven (?) sacraments, while the church I went to only had/has two (baptism and communion). Then there’s the endlessly divisive issue of transubstantiation (where I am very clear on the difference between P and C, but it didn’t come up in the quiz, being too obvious, probably).
Maybe I’m just good at multiple choice questions. 🙂
@ GreenAlba,
& here I was all this time thinking Lutheranism was midway! 😉 I was also brought up Presby. no bells & smells period. I know what R. Cath. think about the Eucharist but I think there are differences within Protestants sects.
Take this shit to some hippy-dippy christian happy-clapper site … it’s quite offensive and totally out of place here.
Why don’t you take your trolling shit to some happy-clappy, ‘chirpy and optimistic’ covidian site?
The proportion of covidians on here is way, way lower than the proportion of either religious or non-religious on here. If you weren’t paid to be here, I’d consider your covidianism religious too. But you’d be happier and less offended (by science) if you joined an online sect more in keeping with your *claimed* views.

lso who is just buying a house online based on some pictures, without going to see it in person at least once?
Unless you’re buying it to flip/rent, the cat will be out of the bag as soon as you physically go see it.
There were a lot of beautiful old Victorian mansions and pre-war brownstones in Hartford Ct, that online looked amazing, until you went to the neighborhood and saw that the houses on either side were turned into section 8 apartments, or groids spending the day sitting out on the stoops after 2pm when they finally roll out of bed.

Perfectly normal for young people to drop dead every day.
Now I’m seeing many dying in their sleep. At 33. And after being jabbed.
Well, if you’re willing to play Russian roulette with the shot and die, then I guess that’s the way to go. I would advise not to get the shot, but they wouldn’t listen.
VERY glad he’s at least still alive.

Ya know, got_truth. You have been on CFN for quite a while throwing your infinite energy crap around. I will give you credit, you make a nice sound/video U tube presentation. There is no infinite energy available to mankind.That’s bullshit. If you believe that I have a 300 mpg carburetor in my basement that Exxon/ Mobil squashed in 1957.
Zero-point energy exists and it is Pentagon-sequestered.
And MY INDEPENDENT off-grid energy and production systems exist, and so does my TEAM.
Here is a brief collage:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZVSco1pDxE&list=PLl55Zh3U2VW7YD-JKHT0vYIk1ZCrK7c4-&index=3
Not only are multi-billion dollar domestic production facilities off-grid, so are ALL my extended family members and my teams’ and their extended family members.
Dr. Steven Greer and TEAM are leading the effort to have zero-point energy released from Pentagon sequestration.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZM9Ibf0Guk
Nikola Tesla discovered it.
JP Morgan rejected it, as he could not “meter” it.
Tesla’s papers were sequestered.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-tesla-nikola-and-donald-trump-are-all-connected-115511618.html
The Pentagon has it.
Simple and true.
Best way to release it is relentless pressure on “elected representatives.”
It’s ALL good!
Enjoy!
“Nikola Tesla discovered it….”
GT,
In the end, Tesla was nuts.
#Teslamyass
At least it’s not aimed at me.
Yes. Not everything is about you.
are you coldly and rationally convinced of this “infinite tesla energy” stuff?
or are you so desirious that “it all be good!” that you convince yourself of the reality of the tesla energy stuff for emotional reasons?
Zero-point energy is real and has been intentionally withheld for public use, as it removes profit from central power generation, as it resides locally, on-premise, and does not require a connection to the grid.
It will be in widespread use by the end of the decade.
Or sooner, if public pressure on “lawmakers” is effective.
Will it work in -40F in Saskatchewan in January?
Zero-point energy is real and has been intentionally withheld for public use, as it removes profit from central power generation, as it resides locally, on-premise, and does not require a connection to the grid.
You are a fucking loony. Stop posting anything else, would be my best suggestion.
Yes, Zero-point energy “works” in ALL environments.
No, censoring the high frequency TRUTH, because it causes “discomfort” to low frequency unenlightened dwellers, SHALL not occur.

Go. Out. Do.
His alternating current polyphase power distribution design, from 1880, and widely deployed by Westinghouse, starting in 1896, transmitting electricity from central power stations, remains the primary method of OVERHEAD distribution, for the majority of humanity, who are grid-connected.
There are the FEW who Go Out and Do, and there are the MANY standing on the sidelines, criticizing, condemning, and complaining about those who DO.
Same as it ever was, only more amplified.
Just because an idea is NOT accepted by the many, DOES NOT make it untrue.
Godspeed to you and stelmosfire!
May you BOTH enjoy criticizing as much as I enjoy creating!
i did not mean disrespect.
actually, “doing” bestows many emotional rewards…endorphins; feelings of movement, progress, positivity
often the path of discipline, reason and truth involves a lot of “not doing,” in the sense that many active roles must be rejected as ultimately flawed and without a high-aiming enough possible outcome.
i am willing to be convinced that tesla was not a loony…. but i’m coming at it from elysian’s perspective, which is the more going, common rational one.
if i were someone convinced of teslas value, i would never tire of any length of rational persuasion efforts to convince open-minded skeptics
Tesla himself was definitely not a loony. Some people who profess to be his ‘disciples’ however, are.
to some, me included, the core problem with the usa, and maybe western civ, is an excess of “doing” for the sake of “doing”, and a lack of recollection
Better: doing for the sake of profiting, and total lack of meaning, as in, what’s it all for?
“to some, me included, the core problem with the usa, and maybe western civ, is an excess of “doing” for the sake of “doing”, and a lack of recollection”
You’re on fire the last few days, gus.
Nicely put.
No offense taken whatsoever.
Free and open debate and discussion is healthy.
Nikola Tesla’s contribution to humanity far exceeds any effort to denigrate based upon the latter years of eccentricity.

Tesla the automobile, requiring deep earth mining for lithium for batteries, connection to an aging, mainly hydrocarbon based, central power-station based grid, is a disgrace, in terms of presenting it as “greener” alternative to combustion engines.
It is not. The sum total of energy expended on mining operations plus grid-loading-demand for battery charging operations, exceeds that of optimized internal combustion engines, when calculated under the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
g__t, I traveled the world in a full size e-150, 240ci with a one barrell, I could get 27 mpg’s out of that thing at 55-60 mph. 1950’s tech. Living the van life before it was cool. Sure it was only 95 hp but who’s in a hurry? Modern tech should be able to get 35-40 mpg’s out of the same thing. It would not sell. Everybody is in a fucking rush.
Yes.

Chargers-Chiefs pregame on TV. Should be one helluva game. Funny, not one face mask noticed on players warming up or sideline personnel. None on the few spectators I’ve seen either. Don’t these fucks know that we’re all about to DIE? Guess not.
The NFL makes headlines all week about cracking down on practices and team meetings, and yet; actual games, where players are by definition in “very close contact” all night long and breathing as heavily as they likely will all week long, are suddenly, dare I say it – MAGICALLY – not contagious!
Imagine that! A lie so fucking preposterous that apparently only rubes in AZ could possibly subscribe to it. But, but, but… DATA! Give me some FUCKING DATA!
WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!

A dismal anecdote.
I got a card and letter this morning from an English friend who lives in France. I shared an office with her when we were translating for an engineering firm in the late 70s. I haven’t seen her since the 1980s. As she and her husband are both high flyers, I’ve never understood why she’s kept in touch with me for 40 years, but I get an update every Christmas.
Last Christmas the card had a letter from the husband saying my friend had been discovered to have lymphoma at the base of her spine. I’ve been emailing her through the year and she’s been having chemo off and on. The first tumour cleared then more appeared. Now she’s had her a transplant of cells from her bone marrow.
I never said anything about covid or the vaxxes, given she had enough on her plate and it seemed cruel to mention it. But when I read this year’s letter, I was reminded of Dr Zandre Botha, the South African doctor who said in an interview (while saying that Moronic was mild and unworrying) that 100% of her cancer patients who were in remission and who took the vaxx now have metastatic cancers.
This sentence felt like something out of a horror movie:
“So, as we draw closer to the end of 2021, we are hoping for brighter things. Val is now allowed to have her third jab of the covid vaccine and the flu jab which she has been prevented from having up until now because of her immune deficiency.’
I’m at a loss. I could email and warn her, but I’d probably be too late and then they’d just be distressed (or think I’m nuts or evil and ask me not to get in touch any more). It’s quite likely that the reason she got the recurrence after the first lymphoma was the first two jabs.
This stuff is hellish. I’ve had quandaries like this for 6 months.
What do you do? I’ve tried on a number of occasions to warn people before boosters and it hasn’t always turned out well.
My advice: Don’t. They’re adults, let then make their own decisions, for better or worse.
The World is chalk-full with dumb-asses. Bursting at the seems.
Sheep.
Sad but True.
Alba, just engaged neighbour with newborn. I said hey, if your having trouble sleeping with baby why not take magnesium citrate? She said, Oh, I took that during my pregnancy, still have some. I said, I wrote a list of supps for you if you want to go there, she said ok. I got list. It was all our supps.
Initial contact was a Christmas bouquet, that might’ve sweetened things a bit.
“So, as we draw closer to the end of 2021, we are hoping for brighter things. Val is now allowed to have her third jab of the covid vaccine and the flu jab which she has been prevented from having up until now because of her immune deficiency.’
It is absolutely essential that those who are severely immuno-compromised have the vaccine. Covid-19 is very tough on such people. Why do you have a problem with that?
I have a problem with lying trolls.
The reason why she should not have a booster is contained in my post, referring to the testimony of Dr Zandre Botha, whose cancer patients who were in remission and took the vaxx have now ALL got metastatic cancers. Every one of them. One hundred percent.
Not the unvaxxed cancer patients.
The vaxxed cancer patients.
You are immoral.
Everyone who has taken the vaxx is immunocompromised, including you (unless of course you lied about being vaxxed at all, which is perfectly possible). You will become incrementally more immunocompromised the more boosters you take.
GA, your gonna get gigged. DON’T ENGAGE THE TROLL!
I know, St E. It is a most grievous sin. 🙂
The few times we are able to get out, we comment to each other on the exact same phenomenon, it is quite amazing!
…only those profiled with present and future “expensive” health-related chronic issues….
BOTH the gain-of-function virus AND the mRNA in vivo injections are providing mainly compassionate early involuntary retirement to hosts classified by genotype, phenotype and epigenetically-induced co-morbidities, such as cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, shortened telomeres, AND the persistent presence of the cell-structure molecules produced by benzodiazapenes, grain alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, natural and synthetic opiates, HIV, and sexually-transmitted diseases.
……without getting too deep in the weeds, the above-named molecules readily attach to human cellular structures, providing a much easier method of spike protein attachment, via said molecular pathways, and subsequent cellular deep penetration and replication, within the unwitting host.
This method of early involuntary retirement addresses Bill Gates’ primary concern of reducing the cost of healthcare BY those members of society who are OR destined to be “non-essential”, with maximum plausible deniability.

Yep. Inclined to agree. Still, I’m 64, still gainfully employed, and STILL kicking the shit out of the dip-shits I interact with many years my junior both mentally(!!!)* and for the most part physically as well.

Undergraduate shit, Redneck.
” Or , for example , I have been saying since about three months after the Covid appeared on the radar , that it was a hoax . ”
Grr , this statement grates on my nerves !!!
What ?
Why?
Actually , ” Covid is a HOAX ” was Night Owl’s innovation.
” Hoax ” drives the description down to just a few words.
You don’t have to write a paragraphs – worth to describe one thing.
So , yeah , ” Hoax ” was borrowed from Night Owl.
I was saying three months into this shit that it was shit.
But Night Owl came up with ” Hoax “.
No need to quibble over terms. Me? I’m old fashioned. I prefer plain old ‘bullshit’. It’s got a certain ring and connotation/smell to it that’s pleasing to old-timer ears like mine.
In the kinder gentler times of old, the seniors in the room would slap their knees and laugh, while instructing the young’ns in the room to shut up and ignore such obvious stupidity.
Now? We’ve got “experts,” we’ve got “data,” and we’ve got “studies.” How could anyone outside AZ possibly argue/
And the rest, as they say now-a-days, is ‘herstory’.
The rumor is — though it could be bullshit ?? — that in the bad old days it was proper English in the sanctuary ,
and then wine , beer , cigars and cigarettes , and the use of words OG and Jarek strongly object to , in the Church meeting hall after hours.
Church attendance was standing room only , even though they were poorer they dressed better , and I’m pretty sure whether they used those words or not , their social mores and behavior in many many other ways would have shocked a modern.
As I said , all of that is rumor.
I think , though , I should not begrudge those who stay home of a Sunday now and watch football.
The landscape now is so bleak and dreary — LGBTQ NOT withstanding — that one really must escape it.
In the “good old days” of my memory of mid-20th century Nebraska on the prairie, religion was a Protestant (Nazarene) affair in a small town church of a dozen at most. It was a quaint and affecting affair, especially for those of a tender age such as myself, but even then, I could tell that no one but my aging grandmother and the preacher (also an aging woman) truly believed in anything that was being sold. Funny thing about old men farmers and children: you really can’t bullshit them, no matter how hard you try.
Even so, I still have fond memories of all of it, and often (even now), wish I was back.
Football? Likewise. It was just getting popular at the time and widely televised, and I remember so many of those (grainy) details even now fondly like they they just occurred yesterday.
Thanks for helping me remember the beauty of a simpler time!
I prefer hoax, as it aptly describes the whole propaganda campaign from start to finish.
Go back and watch those comical videos out of Wuhan. People dying in the street, screaming, people being welded into apartments, trucks spraying the highways with an unknown substance, moonsuited men lassoing pedestrians and spraying them down.
You will see them in an entirely new light.
This is the greatest hoax in history.
Hmmm. I called it a hoax in my journal I keep, dated March 20, 2020, a week after our school shut down. I didn’t start commenting here until months later.
He may have borrowed the term himself ?
Not like Hoax is an obscure word.
But I borrowed it from him later.
Black Anne Boleyn. Hmm, OK?
So who will play MLK or MalcolmX in their next biopics?
A white dude? Because, inclusion?
Just curious.
LOL.
Humorous speculation on “The Dan Patrick Show” today was that David Spade would play Alvin Kamara in a future Kamara/NO Saints biopic. I thought that was pretty funny/risque for a fairly main stream media outlet. There’s still a few remaining holdouts of sanity if you look hard enough for them. Alas, probably not for long.
” Along with Pol Pot. ”
— GreenAlba
” ? ”
— Malthuss
She once compared me to , or described me as , Pol Pot.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pol_Pot
I agreed some time later that the comparison or description had some merit.
” I was just reminded of an old movie I should watch, The Boys from Brazil. Hitler zygotes are implanted in dozens of women so that they can grow up and conquer the world. Did you see it? Any good? ”
The movie was made in the 1970’s .
Given that single fact , I would suppose a National Socialist could predict without psychic powers the general gist.
Clones of Hitler : There is the interesting question , ” Is it nature , or nurture ? ”
Never the less , the Nazis are veritable cardboard caricatures.
Generally , until ” Schindler’s List ” , that was standard operating procedure.
Any presentation of a Nazi as anything but a cardboard caricature would have qualified as the rankest obscenity.
But presumably you would know this.
Oh , and the main character was Joseph Mengele.
You could watch it as a comedy.
Given what we now know for a fact about Mengele’s post – war life ,
I dare say the depiction is hilarious.
At last a respondent! That’s all I was looking for – an assessment. Thanks.
A better movie — about Mengele , is the Argentine film The German Doctor .
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_German_Doctor
Actually three – fourths very good and interesting .
Except for the Disney moralist ending , in order to shoe – horn in , they flatly contradict the facts they just themselves presented.
But still a good movie.
” Whatdya we want?
No more JFC.

If rejection killed by itself I would have been dead decades ago.
KA,
Stop that. Don’t worry about it and carry on. You’re posts are still valuable.
Dis
Demons.
Perhaps it was an act of inclusion though? From a different angle. Typically that which is rejected is ignored or unnoticed kinda by definition. And inclusion doesn’t happen without participatory requests. You are aware of that dynamic more than others because you could write a thousand page book about it I imagine.
First the good news. Consumer demand is projected to decline at a steady pace, through Q4, 2022, greatly easing inflationary pressures, along with an anticipated increase in available existing housing units, and a steady decline in CO2 emissions.
Now the bad news.
CDC issues grim forecast warning that weekly COVID cases will jump by 55% to 1.3 MILLION by Christmas Day and that deaths will surge by 73% to 15,600 a week as Omicron becomes dominant strain.

Remarkable.
“Funny”” how prescient that is, eh? Almost like they know what’s going to happen ahead of time, isn’t it?
JAZ, is that’s what you so often refer to as “DATA?” Maybe not in Arizona, though, eh? No? Probably not.
Personal aside: It’s indeed “funny” how a God reputed to be so smart could create people in his/her/its image so stupid.
But admittedly, that’s just me.
15,600 American deaths per week after Christmas from Omicron (which has, so far, caused zero deaths) sure is a Big bold prediction!

Troy Aikman and Joe Buck are commentating the Thursday night football game. I never got the feeling that Aikman even likes Joe Buck. I think he just tolerates him.
I think that you are Right.
Never really thought about it. Aikman’s delivery is always rather old school dry and deadpan, while Buck is obviously the network’s designated shill. They work pretty well as a team, for me at least. Still prefer Phil Simms over the idiot Tony Romo, though. WAY too much senseless blather out of the latter.

CDC warns Americans NOT to get J&J shot over blood clot risk following nine deaths: Panel unanimously recommends “more effective” Pfizer or Moderna vaccines instead.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10318751/CDC-panel-unanimously-recommends-Pfizer-Moderna-vaccine-instead-J-J.html
The generation that has lived dedicated to their own selfish desires, at the expense of community and brotherhood, are being given early involuntary retirement, as are their communities.
By design.
Not being very trusting of such “reports”, could it be the deeper pockets of Pfizer are eliminating the competition? In such a scenario, Moderna could be an easy cleanup operation, or absorbed (with billions in profit changing hands, likely with some insider trading included).
Astra-Zeneca was removed from the board early on. If or when J&J is exited, Moderna experiences one of a couple of options, Pfizer gets the monopoly, which does seem to be a game plan.
Astra-Zeneca is being widely used around the world, outside of the EU and the US. There’s an enormous amount of it being used as part of the Covax programme.
Hi, Green Alba. I just caught the end of news about your husband. I hope he is feeling better. Our thoughts are with you both.
I thought it had been rather done in everywhere. So maybe I’m not getting enough input from other locations. The Russians have Sputnik V and the Chinese have Sinovac.
Pursuant to their insatiable quest to satisfy self-interests at the expense of community and brotherhood, THEY were predictably the first to line-up at the mRNA punch bowl.

Adding on to my earlier post of the BYU basketball player going down after the jab: Here is a video of his collapse. Pushes himself and then collapses clutching his chest. Just like nearly every other jabbed pro athlete we have seen recently.
https://twitter.com/wakeupfromcovid/status/1471510525410525185
And yesterday in Miami a 20 year old catcher with the Cleveland Indians system … suddenly dropped dead. What could have caused it? Remember how healthy and strong you were at 20?
At 20 we were healthy and strong … and we weren’t pro athletes.
RIP
With the lack of autopsies it likely will remain a mystery.
Not knowing the full story, it’s not possible to make any conjecture. However, seems it is an expanding theme.
Your IQ, it may be low.
Peppermint Patty Psaki, PPP, triple P, PP+P, Red on the noodle like the dick on a poodle, Liar’liar,pants on fire, says it’s no biggy,. In the 17-1800’s many people died during childhood.
Cracks in the facade beginning to appear for the NFL – one of the main propaganda organs for the CovidCon here in the US – as teams, realizing that games are in jeopardy because of all this testing silliness (sidelining players who are fully vaxxed and asymptomatic based on test results which are known to be shit), are violating their own self-imposed protocols randomly at whim to keep the sacred money train rolling. In fact, they are to be congratulated for exposing their ass on this one, as it’s just one more brick in the wall of massive coverup and bullshit being exposed for what it is for all to see. Congrats to Baker Mayfield, Cleveland QB and fellow dissident for calling this out loudly yesterday on Twitter, and Mike Florio, who, although he’s a died-in-the-wool CovidCoward, at least calls out the NFL for their rampant inconsistencies. One senses that the wheels are finally beginning to come off this whole fiasco, not that that will deter the idiots in charge from imposing it anyway or the numb nuts insisting on “DATA!!!” from believing in it. All of which begs the question, how did humanity as we know it EVER get this far and how much longer can we possibly go on? I’m not sure the proverbial God in heaven – if there actually be one – isn’t stroking his long grey beard in thought as we speak, pondering just flushing the human toilet and being done with it altogether.
“GOD” = Go Out Do, and is that INFINITE regenerative energy source connecting to those calibrating and sustaining at the highest levels of human consciousness.
DESIDERATA
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your TRUTH quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
