For now, the public seems to want nothing more than to breathe a little easier — that is without masks on our faces after a year of Covid-19 paranoia — and attempt to return to something like normal life. It’s like an “all-clear” siren went off the past week and a consensus swept the land that can be summed up as we’re done with that. There were zero cases of Covid-19 in my upstate New York county the past week and now the few people going around still-masked begin to look a little like whack-jobs acting out a stupid morality play.
The official Covid-19 narrative took quite a beating last month, but the bottom line of it all is hardly reassuring. The main theme of the narrative was the insistence by public health authorities at the highest level, staunchly supported by the compliant news media, that the disease did not originate in the Wuhan, China, virology lab. They kept the story going all year. Then, just days ago, the narrative flipped and is suddenly accepted as self-evident: of course, the virus came out of the Wuhan lab! (Jon Stewart shouted this out right in Stephen Colbert’s contorted face on TV.) Dr. Fauci’s email trail says as much, along with videos of his colleague Peter Daszak bragging on it as far back as 2012, with plenty of supporting evidence from various Chinese scientists.
But the flip-flop on Wuhan leaves some extremely uncomfortable questions that the nation is too distracted (or dishonest) to debate in the public forum, the public forum these days being mostly social media: Twitter and Facebook. And it’s not altogether clear whether they will continue to suppress discussion about the origin of the virus, and issues arising out of that — though they risk looking tyrannically obtuse if they keep up the gaslighting. And in these sorry years of anything goes and nothing matters, Zuck and Jack may never have to answer for their craven deeds.
The biggest question that the authorities want to evade is: if the virus did originate from the Wuhan lab, was it released by accident… or on purpose? The “Joe Biden” government is now forced to, at least, pretend that it will investigate. My guess is: they don’t want to know. It would raise enough subsidiary questions to leave a normal person panting with nausea. For instance: was China trying to soften-up the USA by disabling our economy? And soften us up… for what? Some observers who are hardly dumb or crazy think that China wants to reduce the USA to a vassal nation that can only supply China with food, oil, and other resources.
Sound far-fetched? Maybe. After all, we still have that fleet of submarines armed with multiple-warhead nuclear missiles circulating around the oceans as a kind of insurance policy. But Americans have to do something to make a living, and it sure isn’t going to be mass production of consumer goods, like in the old days. Meanwhile, the infrastructure of the service economy got gutted during the lockdowns — millions of businesses bankrupted, restaurants, yoga studios, concert venues, dog groomers, shops of all kinds, you name it — gone, and a lot of the people who took livelihoods from all that are financially ruined for good.
What’s left? Health care and pharma, two odious rackets preying on the psychological weakness of people so beaten down by adversity that they can only console themselves with junk food, liquor, sexual debauchery, and drugs, and then must beg the health care system to fix them — after which it squashes them to death with outlandish charges for services rendered? Or government, another reprehensible racket, seeking desperately now to control its citizens’ every move while everything it does is not only running wildly out of control, but via the most idiotic, suicidal policies — such as throwing the border with Mexico wide open to all comers, while it pays Americans to not work.
The leading government policy just now is to hector, browbeat, and coerce Americans to get vaxed-up with vaccines that appear to be pretty hazardous. The Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines so far (which is not very far) have produced more deaths and adverse events than all the other vaccines for all other diseases developed in the past thirty years, and we have no idea what the long-term effects will be of a spike protein that likes to damage blood vessels, brains, and reproductive organs. That’s another thing the news and social media don’t want the public to inform themselves about, not to mention the scientifically-based opinion that vaccinating a populace in the middle of an epidemic is pretty certain to provoke the evolution of new and more dangerous variants of the disease agent.
For now, all these mighty issues stand aside while Americans enjoy some early summer days of liberation from a long nightmare. Coincidentally, the Democratic Party has just now engineered two separate-but-equal Independence Days for America: Juneteenth, for People of Color, and the familiar old Fourth of July for everybody else. Isn’t that a fine way to reinforce the idea that we are irreconcilably so far apart?

They could have come out with all this on January 21, but the reason for the prior gaslighting would have been far too obvious even for their delusional minds….
Judas Fucking Priest, you just knew that these buffoons would bring the Georgia Guidestones into the mix eventually.
http://www.opensourcetruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Doc-10-Original-AFLDs-Complaint.pdf
Please read this recently filed lawsuit from Frontline Doctors against the CDC, the FDA, Fauci and others.
It is a long read (113 pages) but is packed with up-to-date information to bring us all up to speed.
Juneteenth is beyond irony. The Democrats celebrating the time that the Republicans made them free their slaves.. …
Politics makes strange bedfellows. Emancipation Day actually took place on Jan. 1, 1863, not on June 19 of 1863 or 1865. But this way, the worker bees at the Federal government get an extra day off. In the next few years, pressure will be put on state and local governments throughout the country to give their workers a day off with pay on June 19, to be followed up by large businesses in the private sector.
In the meantime, the nation’s crime wave in its black ghettos continues. On June 15, there were 8 homicides in Chicago and 4 in Baltimore. For those of you who were never good in math, be aware that Baltimore’s murder rate is well above Chicago’s, when adjusted for population differences. Year to date, Chicago’s homicides count is running well above 2020, 2017 and 2016. Each of those three years got a boost from major urban unrest.
If anyone started a movement to make Juneteenth a crime free day “in the community”, they would be denounced as racist.
They can’t even have Christmas day crime free ffs.
I couldn’t agree more with you. If there was ever an ASININE FEDERAL HOLIDAY, This is it. Just the name alone is asinine.
And it definitely goes to motive pertaining to the barely discernible English that the “garden variety” black male & female can speak. And my God, look at the 1st names that so many unwed, uneducated, “shit-for-brains” socially dangerous black female names their offspring.
The vast majority of the names hardly any white person can pronounce. The boomer generation by the way it looks is going to be the last generation for sometime that a black person was given a name that was normal.
Like “Ruth, Brenda, Virginia. George, Gerald, Howard.” and I have seen well-known conservative black men point this out to black women time and again. And sure enough, they throw it `right up in their face about how it’s in support of them having a Afri-Kun Hair-Teg!
And the black conservative male is trying to be patient with them and points it out to them that they are American. Period. Not African American. But American. But, it always seems as if it’s a waste of time.
MontanaMan,
I agree the name is asinine. Virginia Governor Northam was all over Juneteenth. That man makes me sick. I followed a car this afternoon with a sticker in the window that says “My Governor is an idiot”. Where can I get one?
Apostrophes.
My favorite is “Syrknoreon”. Try and beat that!
Syrk’noreon.

Is it a moveable feast, like Easter, so they don’t have to close up and pay government workers an extra holiday? The very name of it repels me. It sounds like something made up by a child or someone of few intellectual means. I’m mortified that we now have a holiday using such an abysmally substandard word. It’s even more humiliating than the time we elected an actor as president, or when Minnesota elected Jesse Ventura for governor. I had a fit on Facebook about it last year, when I still had a Facebook page, but the replies were mostly pitying. Apparently, it’s beyond my comprehension.
I’m not surprised the mob drove you off Facebook. You manage to insult conservatives, blacks – their intelligence and dialect, and wrestling fans, all in one brief post. LOL
It’s a gift. What can I say?
Ventura is a horse’s ass who thinks he knows more than he does. Reagan (former governor of California before crushing Carter and Mondull) beat the USSR (no thanks to the Democrats or much of the Republican Establishment), only to have his successors not only breathe life back into it but bring its thought police and jackbooted thuggery here. If you helped with this effort to overthrow America’s traditional worldview in favor of some Alinskyite masturbatory fantasy, you’re a freedom-hating asshole.
I was young. My opinion has changed radically over the years, though not my opinion of Ronald Regan. I hope they cut off his head, put a rose in his mouth, and hammered a mountain ash stake into his heart before they put him in the ground.
How about Democrats rooting to tear down statues that connected the nation to its past? The Democrat is a different animal today.
I would have to come out in support of Juneteenth.
As pointed out, Emancipation Day was January 1, 1863. The Union Army however hadn’t liberated slaves in the farther reaches of the nation. They got to Texas on June 19th, which was thereafter celebrated by those who were set free.
I support Juneteenth because this is an organic celebration. It isn’t contrived, or made up to placate anyone. It’s a real, honest to God event, and it marks a point in time when abolitionists righted a wrong, when America acted true to it’s character as expressed through the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. It is indeed an event to celebrate by all Americans.
Having said that, however, this should also serve as notice to race hustlers everywhere, that this event could not have been possible without the tireless and selfless efforts of the abolitionist movement brought about mostly by White people, and that puts the lie to the claim of systemic racism.
Well said, Pete. But you know the usual suspects will turn the holiday into another occasion for bashing white people (perhaps literally).
I was just thinking today: what culture outside of Western European Civilization has ever felt and expressed moral guilt and regret over past injustices? I can’t think of any.
The irony I find (unless it isn’t) in our race discussion at present, is that white Christians, recognized that chattel slavery was outside the providence of God, for the slavers. Amazing Grace anyone?
Once recognized, the meme was taken up, and followed through to completion. The eradication of the practice. The price to right that wrong was paid in blood by white people. Blood being the currency of social justice. People who are inherently racist don’t do that.
The race hustlers lie.
Democrats trot out their brick throwers and race hustlers to get mostly peaceful people stepping backwards off-balance. In previous election cycles they would cure racism in America by going back to ignoring the black lives. Today, Democrats got their hands full of communists and can’t get back into the rhythm of ignoring black lives. They unleashed a meme they can’t reign in.
America is not a racist country. Trump was not a racist President. Trump supporters are by and large not racist people, and many themselves people of color.
People, can be racist. And since we’re all people, we got some racism. Racists are present among all races. If white people were suddenly quimmed off to mars. Racism would live on, on planet earth.
Hutus can pick a Tutsi out in a room full of crowed people.
Forgive me if I strayed off-topic. These were my thoughts today while I did yard work…
Happy Father’s Day.
Hire a lawn care company
The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in areas in rebellion against the federal government — in other words, in areas controlled by another country, however illegitimate was may believe it to have been. Technically, Freedom Day should be December 18, which is the anniversary of the 13th Amendment’s adoption and proclamation as part of the Constitution.
Come December after a month of no sun (November) vitamin D levels will be down to unhealthy levels influenza A and B will be back along with the common cold and CV19 The lock down will return the crazy will be shouted loud by MSM. The unvaxxed will be ???
According to the WEF lockstep scenario they will be living in “pockets of discontent” on the fringes of society.
The lab story is both a distraction and a real issue. This entire thing was engineered. The Great Reset.
Yup.
The major (intellectual-logical) problem with a Grand United conspiracy theory is – just like those who believe in an omnipotent god – it explains everything, but winds up explaining nothing.
There is absolutely no way anyone can demonstrate (a) that a Great Reset is a planned program that is underway, and (b) that the Great Reset required, and therefore instigated, a mild pandemic via a lab in China.
Just saying it repeatedly gets us nowhere … some evidence and dot-joining is required, but it’s never forthcoming.
I don’t believe the virus was released deliberately, but I have no proof that it was not. You just have to think through the logistics and ask who benefits.
I don’t think there is a Schwab-WEF-Davos-Rothchild plot to depopulate and rule the world … and there is never any evidence provided to make me change my mind.
If there is no central planning, why are they all using that same Build Back Better slogan?
Good question BoO.
Not to mention it’s the lamest slogan of all time.
Why respond to the Media Matters Muppet? You know he isn’t here in good faith.
Whta is the point?
BRH, I think some of the covid ones were lamer. Start with we’re all in this together, staying together by keeping apart and on and on. They have almost faded out thank Gawd, but build back better keeps chugging along.
Somebody put up the Georgia Guidestones which direct the world population be kept under 500 million. I’m not saying The GG prove all conspiracy theories. I’m saying someone with a bit of money to spend has a population control agenda.
Honestly, I’m getting tired of going over this with you Tekapo. You don’t see the lines connecting the dots. Other people do. Just leave it at that. Agree to disagree instead of constantly proclaiming yourself “rational” and others nut cases.
You are not the measure of all things. Get over your narcissistic self.
He’s like John AZ in that if you answer his questions he’ll just ignore it and continue to make the same claims. He’s a waste of time. I like to scroll by the majority of his comments.
Fine, better than reading your insane fairy tales about Covid. The idea that a disease that is ten times more transmittable than the flu and therefore that much more dangerous is claimed by you to not exist shows how worthless the rest of your claims are.
I consider it a privilege that you scroll past my posts. Keep it up.
Mary’s exactly right, as soon as you return a robust argument he just falls silent and starts again somewhere else. It was the same “tell” that his alter-ego Enough Already had. No useful contribution to the blog at all.
We absolutely shouldn’t tar JohnAZ with Tekapo. Not even close. JAZ makes some honest and rational arguments, whether you agree or not, and engages in useful dialogue.
Tekapo is more like a bot or troll.
I agree Slugoon, JohnAz has a lot to offer. I agree with him on about 19 out of 20 issues. If I disagree on one thing, I’ll just let that sleeping dog lie, rather than start a war.
I agree, Slug.
Aside from his take on the Coroneau, JohnAZ is generally a pretty level-headed and agreeable guy.
Honestly, I’m getting tired of going over this with you Tekapo.
What does this mean? You’re not going “over this” with anyone! It’s not a Philosophy 101 tutorial, or a debate in the university union.
And nor do I initiate it, so it’s a bit rough blaming me.
I am simply requesting that those claiming there is a Grand United Theory to explain the whole messy world that leads to mass die-offs, have to do better than just assert it. Some evidence, some dot-joining please.
And the inadequate response – they use the “Build Back Better” slogan – my goodness you need to come up with something better than that.
And it is fairly straightforward to analyse and explain the whole pandemic, based on information we have. Just like you don’t need a god to explain the human condition, you don’t need a Davos Great Reset to explain 2020-2021 at all.
You’re as crazy as Mary. LOL
JAZ,I said I scroll by Take-a-poo’s comments, not yours.
Shall I explain an entire world view to you in 100 words or less including all evidence, Tekapo? There’s plenty of reading material out there, plenty of YouTube videos. As you said this isn’t a tutorial.
“What does this mean? You’re not going “over this” with anyone! It’s not a Philosophy 101 tutorial, or a debate in the university union.”
100-level classes are introductory courses, not tutorials. If you’d gone to college and spent more time in class and less time fucking around with communist subversives, you’d know this. Are you on the Van Wilder plan for college, letting Mommy and Daddy pay for a decade of undergrad asshattery while you go around feeling superior to the society that allows you to engage in such frivolity?
the Great Reset required, and therefore instigated, a mild pandemic via a lab in China.
The Great Reset required that the populace be panicked into accepting outrageous restrictions on freedoms long held. There are those who insist the whole COVID thing was fake. I don’t agree; I spoke with people who had the virus who described how exhausting it was, beyond a normal flu. But it was not, and never was, anything like the Spanish Flu, or even as bad as the 69-69 Flu, in terms of deaths. Combine a new disease with a whipped up media storm (and every year there’s a new disease, some more deadly than others) and you get the conditions needed for the Great Reset.
“ I spoke with people who had the virus who described how exhausting it was, beyond a normal flu. But it was not, and never was, anything like the Spanish Flu, or even as bad as the 69-69 Flu, in terms of deaths.”
Hear Hear!! I couldn’t agree more with you my friend. I myself along with my wife also new people that caught the virus and some of them barely made it. I do mean just that. Barely. And by that I mean 2 individuals.
And then we know of 5 that caught it and it didn’t bother them a whole lot except for 4 to 5 days. And during that time all of them said it was just some “discomfort.”
The 2 that caught it and barely made it has several common denominators.
A. Both, live in Florida.
B. Both, are retired, and over 65.
C. Both, are not over-weight.
D. Both, stay healthy and work out on a regular basis.
E. Both, have the right BMI=Body Mass Index.
F. Both, are retired in the higher tax bracket.
G.Both, are related to me.
H.Both, do not drink or smoke. 1did do both. Over 25 years ago.
I. Both, do not have high or low, blood pressure.
We haven’t had it and chances are, we won’t catch it. When you take into consideration whereabouts we live. NW Montana. 5 miles from the Canadian border, and 11 3/4 of a mile from the Idaho state line.
Outside of our little town of Yaak. We didn’t lock down nor did we mask-up. Both of us are born & raised here. I’m from Yaak and my wife is from right down the road in Eureka. And I thank God, so much that neither one of us had parents in some large city and had to go to school with blacks.
And thank God none of our 4 boys had to either. All 4 are grown now and they know what’s going on in the world and they are so glad none of their kids will grow up like so many are having to do. And it’s not only pitiful it’s downright disgusting and evil what so many children are having to go through in places like California, NY State, etc etc.
I like your part of the country, MontanaMan. Years ago i went to a Silver investor Summit in Couer d’Alene, with trips to Wallace and Kellogg.Didn’t get into Montana, though.
Yaak looks interesting, 248 people, 3 saloons, the real estate prices look pretty high. Is the rise recent?
Combine a new disease with a whipped up media storm (and every year there’s a new disease, some more deadly than others) and you get the conditions needed for the Great Reset.
I agree that the public-health response to the pandemic (which has been nasty, highly transmissible, but luckily not super-lethal), has generally been appalling – particularly in the wealthiest Western nations.
It has been a bizarre combination of criminal inaction (including lack of preparedness and then response) AND some very questionable lockdowns and restrictions that were often disproportionate in their severity, and doubtful in their effectiveness.
But I can’t make any leap at all to the notion that there is a Great Rest conspiracy that required, instigated, and exploited the pandemic. No credible evidence for that.
I think much of the population are snowflakes, are very easily scared, and that politicians | bureaucrats know this … and therefore always err on the side of going over-the-top.
Plus, in the US at least, the whole process was grossly politicised, rather than being treated sanely as a public-health drama that required broad social co-operation. No Great Reset dark forces required to reach an understanding of all this.
And I thank God, so much that neither one of us had parents in some large city and had to go to school with blacks.
And do you think your god would appreciate your unashamed racism? What hypocrites “Christians” always seem to be.
I like your part of the country, MontanaMan. Years ago i went to a Silver investor Summit in Coeur d’Alene, with trips to Wallace and Kellogg. Didn’t get into Montana, though.
Montana is nice enough – been to Glacier NP and other parts. Buggering cold in the winter, and okay if you’re not too ambitious for yourself or your kids, and you don’t require too much human stimulation.
“okay if you’re not too ambitious for yourself or your kids, and you don’t require too much human stimulation” – Tekapo
Always have to include that gratuitous slap in the face, don’t you, Tekapo? If people live in certain areas you see them as hillbillies with a family tree that looks like a wreath, a lawn of rusted beer cans, and several old cars up on blocks.
You always want to feel superior to others, It shows through in almost every posting you write.
Oh, so it’s a mild pandemic now. Last year when Trump was president it was the apocalypse.. …
Sure. Because now that the globalist drone is in power so that the Jacobin Left and the banksters who fund and are allied to them can move to finish off America without serious opposition from the mean, crude, old orange bastard, some actual truth can leak in around the edges because nobody can do anything to ever undo what the revolutionaries are doing.
I wonder what people in Russia were telling each other prior to the Bolshevik Revolution, or in China prior to the Cultural Revolution. When resource constraints become an issue in massive nations, it seems to me that grand social engineering schemes are thought up by great thinkers (gracious) to try to deal with them, and the result is massive suffering among the experimentees.
I used to hang out in the circles where very concerned international intellectuals who go jetting around everywhere hatch these schemes, just to watch them get rejected by the people they sincerely want to help, with a growing sense of desperation. These folks are not “red” this time, nor Catholic, they’re “green.” I’m still “green” too (there’s quite a spectrum of it), but if you don’t stand with the people even when their vision of the future they want differs from yours, you wind up fighting them. My God we were an arrogant bunch! (Nature always has the last say, and we obey Nature’s dictates. And Schwab and them will play their role in the drama. Stand aside as far as you can.)
So the fact that these groups have endlessly pontificated on eliminating world population and even gone into detail on how it will be done does not constitute evidence? Far from a conspiracy, it is openly discussed. It is a huge disinformation campaign and well coordinated. There is evidence that has come that covid-19 has been talked about years prior. That said I believe that covid-19 is a scam and non existent. What was worked on in these bio weapons labs is the vaccine. The vaccine is the bio weapon and no such virus called covid-19 exists. Yhe story of a lab release of a virus was just another way to get a different segment of the population to buy in. It also provides cover for the deadly vaccine that has not been fastracked by any means. It has been in the making for years. It does everything it was designed to do and woks perfectly. It puts an expiration date on everyone who takes it and sterilizes and dumbs down at the same time. There is no virus but endless speculation about a lab leak lends credibility to the fact and as yet unisolated virus as well as provide cover for the true bio weapon the vaccine. If you look closely everything that is said to be a symptom of the virus has been seen in people who have been injected.
How about a future where you will own nothing? Tweeted as under consideration by a Danish _minister_.
Do you think that a transition to a future where almost everybody “will own nothing” is going to come naturally or might this necessitate plans, conspiracies, false flags and disinformation on a scale that dwarfs everything currently believed by “fringe elements”.
Not a “Great Reset” as such. But the idea that our debt will eventually reach the point where it can’t be managed seems reasonable. And this doesn’t require any conspiratorial planning, just politicians of all stripes doing what they do naturally.
When the time comes, then what? Well then there’s a great reset in the currency. You get a week or so to trade in 1000 classic dollars for one Biden Buck. Or— knowing Dems—the ratio will be based on your race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.
Where have you been? Rumors claimed you were arrested in The Great Insurrection.
Ha! That half-day occupy-style protest hardly holds a candle to the one the Left pulled off when they stormed the Wisconsin state capitol. And Pelosi was a huge fan of that particular “insurrection”.
It has already been clearly shown, and is blatantly obvious Who Benefits. That list of beneficiarys is pretty obvious, with well documented money trails to prove it. The only kind of ‘thinking through logistics’ that could miss that is to simply ignore it. Plenty of evidence is readily available for anyone who cares to follow those money trails and connect those dots.
If I were to move to Germany (I have the legal right), can you recommend an area that is relatively sane?
I love the sea. Cuxhaven?
The Harz?
I would certainly consider it a plus if the new party of Wodarg is active in the area.
Thanks for any ideas.
Cuxhaven? I don’t think that you will like it there. It’s a relatively cold region, the seas are very rough, it’s windy, and the weather changes every ten minutes. I am familiar with the area, having been stationed in Bremerhaven for a year (1967).
I used to go to Bremerhaven so many times. I worked for MSC.
Military Sealift Command. Lant Division. (Atlantic, Division.)
Went to the United States Merchant Marine Academy. Kings Point New York. Retired as a relief Captain. I was a member of
the AMO, Union. American Maritime Officers.
If I remember correctly, the short is we ever stayed bumping the dock in good old Bremmie was right about, oh, 4 to 5 days. On average we stayed 2 weeks. There was not a crewmember that I can think of that didn’t like it. Even in winter.
Because just about any port is better then the North Sea or the North Atlantic or the Northern Pacific. Except in Africa or the Middle East and several of the port-a-calls in South America.
All of them are absolute shit holes.
Especially in Africa. And it doesn’t matter which port. From the Northern part all the way down to Johannesburg. Africa in general is one big shit hole. And the stevedores will steal you blind, and try like mad to do what we call, “double bill of lading manifest.”
I am very familiar with South Africa before during and after apartheid. And it was 100% better before, apartheid. It used to be such a safe country and so deeply prosperous. Now? Ha. Flat ass broke.
And everything is falling apart all because of the black population. They have flat out stolen, ripped off, grafted people, businesses, locales slap to death. It’s so bad, the hardly any international bank wants to loan them any money.
And China has moved in, in so many places in Africa. And when they get done sucking every bit of the mineral resources out, they will own the vast majority of Africa. But I digress.
https://www.amo-union.org/ MSC is, https://sealiftcommand.com/
MSC has been trying to hire like crazy the last 10 to 15 years. Like so many other careers, so many young guys really don’t want to work hard to start off with. And I am not stereotyping.
I’m very good friends with the oldest staffing member of the
SIU Union. Seafarers International Union.
https://www.seafarers.org/ He’s retiring anytime after September and we talk quite often. As he has said to many several times over the last 5 to 10 years, “ back when me and you was coming up the books was closed for so long.
Regardless if a young guy wanted to go blue water or brown. Now? The books have been open for the last 15 years no matter how much money we throw at it we can’t get that many that will stick it out to amount to anything.
Garland, very seldom does a ship report in to any hall that isn’t sailing shorthanded. I shit you not. Back in our days every ship was always fully manned and we carried 2, remember that?? 2, 3rd mates for Christ sakes.”
(Blue water = deep-sea. Brown water= the Great Lakes and the Inland Rivers and all Intracoastal Waterways.)
Lord I vividly remember when a deckhand only made $45 to $55 a day. Depending upon what company you went to work for.
Out in the Gulf. On supply boats.
Running out to the rigs and back. Today? Try $185 to $200 dollars a day. For a greenhorn. Experienced man is getting $260 to $280 a day and, absolutely outstanding health benefits.
@ MontanaMan–
A friend of my sister’s was telling me about South Africa just a few weeks ago. His family had a farm there and his youngest brother and his family stayed after apartheid ended. Just last year 3 men invaded, shot the father (he survived) and his son was able to wound 2 of the men and chase them off. He said it was incredibly dangerous there and wants all his family to leave.
Talk about a memory. We landed in Bremerhaven in 1947, after an excruiciating 17-day trip across the Atlantic on the S.S. Huddleston.
My father was in the Occupation Forces, stationed (as I recall) in Fürstenfeldbruck, a Luftwaffe base taken over the the Allies.
My father, a victim of the Reduction In Forces (RIF), knocked down from Captain to Master Sergeant, was awarded a huge rural villa in Kempten that a Nazi colonel had been kicked out of. RIF = “Thanks for winning the war, now we’re either going to discharge you or let you stick around at a very inferior rank.”
It was a wonder for a six-year-old, except for the part where the Catholic nun broke a wooden ruler over the back of my hands for some forgotten transgression (nothing to do with their creaky religion). We had us a live-wire Hitlerjugend houseboy named Helmut, who had not quite got the picture that it was GAME OVER and he better shape up or ship out.
Fun times.
Look at the Leubeck, Travemeunde area.
Check out Schleswig Holstein. Beautiful landscape, close to the sea.
However I can think of no reason to move from the US to Germany. Population density in Germany is much higher, taxes higher, Government overbearing and intrusive (like parents forced to bring their kids to a doctor regularly to check on the progress of their vocabulary), population overwhelmingly has a serf mentality,
leadership idiotic (exiting form coal, nuclear despite the highest electricity prices in Europe — in a manufacturing country!), the completely insane Greens on the ascendancy, Financial situation precarious (the rest of Europe owes Germany almost 1 trillion via the Target II system, a debt that cannot be collected).
The place like much of the rest of Europe is on a downward trajectory and it will be quite dramatic within 20 years.

“The unvaxxed will be ???”
Reply
Still Alive. The covid vaccines have killed more people and have had more reported “adverse” reactions reported than all other vaccines combined forever.
And one study shows that only 1 in 200 adverse reactions are reported.
The unvaxxed will be the happy and healthy ‘deplorables’.
What about the vaxxed, and their prognosis?
We shall all see soon enough…
Justin: The unvaxxed will be happy, healthy, deplorable. And armed.
You should know the answer to the question better than anyone else.
Overthrow this government and destroy the Marxist invaders and purge this nation-state of all of their embedded destructive elements, or… say goodbye to America forever.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. No more being asleep at the wheel if you want ANY chance of being free.
Amen.
Where is the source of the opposition to stop it? The GOP is so weak right now that they cannot put up an good defense let alone an offense.The Dems are in disorder also, yet their progress continues.
I was hoping Trump would start and support a third party, but little so far.
Biden is awful, Kamala is worse.
John – too many cling to the hope that the answer is political. It’s not. Make of that what you will.
Revolutions are violent, blood is shed and people die. They haven’t erased enough history – yet – to bury that truth.
The sooner people accept this truth, the better – nothing changes until then – except things proceed apace & we’re pushed further down.
I’m not condoning nor promoting violence – it’s just the truth – sometimes it’s required. We are at a crossroads of one of these times.
Agreed! I keep asking, bitch, bitch and bitch, What the heck can anyone do about it? A very suspect American public is the real problem, formed by direct action of the Deep State , to maintain power. How do you fight the folks?

People tend to forget that, historically speaking, the human race has been living in a relative sweet spot since the end of WWII. Advances in medicine, plentiful energy, mass production and the relative peace engendered by the concept of mutually-assured destruction have created pretty cushy times (as measured against the (almost universal) nasty, brutish and short nature of much of human existence pre-20th century). This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in the West.
The cushy times have created whiners so insulated from the knife-edge of survival that has been the norm for the vast majority of human history that they have to create offenses and injustices almost out of whole cloth. I think it’s pretty clear that we are moving out of this time into a more chaotic period.
George Orwell reviewed Mein Kampf in 1940 before Hitler was “Hitler”, the synonym for absolute evil. There is the following remarkable passage in the review:
“Whereas Socialism, and even capitalism in a more grudging way, have said to people ‘I offer you a good time,’ Hitler has said to them ‘I offer you struggle, danger and death,’ and as a result a whole nation flings itself at his feet.”
Orwell understood “that human beings don’t only want comfort, safety, short working-hours, hygiene, birth-control and, in general, common sense; they also, at least intermittently, want struggle and self-sacrifice, not to mention drums, flags and loyalty-parades.”
To your point and as much as it may seem unlikely in our fat and bored society, there undoubtedly lies an inflection point somewhere on the horizon where a large part of the population that now passively endures the nonsense going on will embrace that “struggle, danger and death” that Orwell cites and then all bets will most definitely be off.
History is a pendulum…
This is the big picture, right here.
Well said!
Thanks King – I teed it up and you drove it about 400 yards. You defined my point exactly. Thanks, much appreciated. The wise will take your words of wisdom to heart.
Thank you for sharing that. It gives me new insight into what is likely to happen.
Americans and West/north Europeans were living in a relative sweet spot since the end of WWII. Other “sweet spots” in history were known as “Golden Ages” where life for ruler and ruled was relatively good if not utopian and humans made great achievements. Today’s world is different in that it was set up by 1. The sharp rise of Europe/UK (and their bankers) in the 19th century, 2. The emergence of the New World in 1900, namely the US and the inventions like the light bulb, and 3. by the supine position of Islam (Turkey) in contrast to these 2 new power poles. Anyway, I personally do not know what kind of human beings this guy Orwell hang out with on this planet when you claim he says “they don’t want comfort, safety, hygiene, and common sense and that they want “sacrifice and struggle.” Orwell perhaps has a romantic notion of what it means to embrace “struggle, danger and death.”
Agreed. Modern people don’t realize how unique the last 70 years or so have been in human history. They are HG Wells’s Eloi: spoilt, pathetic and cowardly. And here come the Morlocks…
Jefferson wrote it. To paraphrase: The tree of liberty occasionally must be bathed in the blood of revolution. Tyrants must be ousted.
This is one of those times that he predicted would come upon us. Politics, committees, voting, etc. will not give us the results that we need. Constant vigilance and the willingness to use force and fight back is the correct course of action. We need to rip these people out of office and out of the influential institutions that are destroying America. These destructive, anti-American politicians, gov agencies and private sector institutions must be purged from our society. Every time you use force that is too light for the problem the enemy gets larger and you get smaller, and your survival-potential goes down another peg.
Spot on, amb. “The tree of liberty occasionally must be bathed in the blood of revolution. Tyrants must be ousted.” , Short and sweet, the truth simply stated. Again showing the wisdom of the founding fathers.
Hell yessssssss!!! You would really really like a very close friend of mine’s website/blog called, Gulf Coast Commentary. Doug always does his homework / research. Please do check it out.
https://gulfcoastcommentary.blogspot.com/
Thanks. Been up thru Kalispell, Whitefish, Glacier and the Blackfeet Rez – not many more beautiful places.
As a young man, planned to live up there, but life happens. Yaak Valley – you’re certain to know Tom Oar?
God it’s beautiful in Big Sky country – you and family are fortunate to be there.
Thanks again for the link.
BTW – I’m moving to Driggs, ID. And, I’m black. And, I spend a lot of time in Montana – Whitefish mostly. I hope – MontanaMan – you meant thank god your kids didn’t have to go to school with the kind of public school nonsense that’s invaded many of our states public schools, rather than just going to school with other black kids….?
I see Wikipedia has decided again that JHK is a “conspiracy theorist.”
“James Howard Kunstler (born October 19, 1948) is an American author, social critic, public speaker, conspiracy theorist, and blogger. He is best known for his books The Geography of Nowhere (1994), a history of American suburbia and urban development, The Long Emergency (2005), and Too Much Magic (2012). In The Long Emergency he imagines peak oil and oil depletion resulting in the end of industrialized society, forcing Americans to live in smaller-scale, localized, agrarian (or semi-agrarian) communities. In World Made by Hand he branches into a science fiction depiction of this future world.”
Perhaps one of our media agents is involved. LOL.
Wikipedia is now STRICTLY UNREADABLE on contemporary political issues. It’s been infiltrated and subverted by leftists.
One of the founders has spoken out and said the same thing.
Much of history has been subtlety changed throughout that site as well. Unless you already knew better, you would never notice. You really cannot trust it for anything. I do a lot of historical research and I use academic papers pretty exclusively for that, but sometimes, just to verify something I have looked at Wikipedia for a quick confirmation. No longer.
Waybackmachine is great for this. Wiki on the level of Snopes.
There is no reason to use it.
Here is a problem though.
Who to believe? The MSM just crushed a president of the US because he disagreed with their globalist communist plans.
Every issue has two sides to it, two sets of zealots who are narcissistic enough to think they are always right and everyone else is full of it (are you listening MQ).
Who do we believe, who is the correct source of the truth?
Not the cherry picked sources that are quoted all the time.
Maybe the Truth is a victim of the destruction of the common culture in the USA.
As I have said in the past, John. I agree with part of what you say, but you do not see the big picture.
This is a global event, the virus narrative is fake, and the enemy is not “The Democrats.” The Dems are, however, on board with the enemy.
Night Owl
We DO NOT disagree.
The Deep State is girding its loins. IT is tied into the globalists, but where? Soros, Rothschild? China? Russia? SPECTRE?
I do see that Soros is undermining our judicial system by backing Black unqualified women for civic offices in all the problem urban areas in the country.
The PTB got their claws into Waybackmachine, I have read.
Draupnir,
Your mention of history being changed reminded me of a recent story I saw.
As you can well imagine, Colonial Williamsburg has been getting more and more infused with critical race theory lately.
Now they’re researching the LGBT etc community of that time period to incorporate it into the Colonial Williamsburg experience.
See Washington, Jefferson, Franklin et al..hanging out at “Ye Old House of Buggery”.
Any such community anywhere in Western Civilization was pretty much closeted until very recent times. (unless they were rich and of the ruling class and could get away with flaunting it). Let them look. They’ll be surprised when they see the condition of women at the time, too. That will definitely need to be retroactively improved.
Wiki is handy if you want to know the weight of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in kilogrammes or how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall. Hitchens once said it was useful in showing what other people think while I argued that it always reflects conventional wisdom and received opinion (that is, wrong opinions). I have always hated it.
Sean, I frequently ask Google questions like:
How tall is Tom Cruise? Or, how old is Joe Biden?
Prior to the 2016 election I asked “How tall is Donald Trump?” The answer was 6’2″. Shortly after Trump won I asked the same question and the answer came back 6’3″. Men in the limelight want to be perceived as taller than they actually are.
Just now I asked “How tall is Barron Trump?” The answer was not definitive but said that some people claim he is about 6’6″. They showed a picture of Barron with his parents and he towered over them and he is only 15 years old. I wonder if he plays basket ball.
Q, I always thought Trump was small because that was the impression I got. I do not watch the telly, except for sport, read the papers or watch films (like a lot of people). I also thought Hitler was tiny. I understand that Americans did not realize Roossevelt used a wheelchair and Robert Redford (who really was small) appeared taller than he was by using photographic tricks.
If you want accuracy on anything, even non-controversial, you have to ditch Wikipedia and Google. Google Earth will not even give you accurate coordinates.
Pat, that is an interesting subject and an important one. I do not think it is at all easy to find accuracy. It never was but it is still very hard in spite of the internet. I think you need ever ounce of your intelligence, skill and education to reach an opinion in many, or most, cases when it comes to simply establishing the facts. Thee can be strong psychological barriers when the subject threatens to challenge your world view. For those in the grip of collective fantasy (most people) this is far beyond their ability or will power.
“…how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall”
I have no idea what that means.
hmuller, it is a line from a Beatles song, A Day In The Life. The Tower of Pisa information I have from direct experience after my son asked me to look it up for a school project when he was little. This is the kind of nonsense you find in Wikipedia.
Bingo!!!! Yes it has. I gave up correcting things. I got to an argument one time and I will never forget this. Because the shit-for-brains said this.
“I don’t care if you’re right! truth doesn’t matter!!!!! Get it!! all that matters is long as we win!!!!”
We all know what you are evading by “leftists”.

I see that Tucker’s conspiracy theories are gaining traction with some people who would be in a position to know something about the likelihood of their being true.
unreal
What could be a good counter-term to this term “Conspiracy Theorist?”
Coinkiedinkist, coinkidinker or just dinker.
Definition, one who believes information is never shared events are never planned, people never get together to discuss or plan. It is completely impossible for two people to plan anything much less more than two people. A dinker is a strange creature that will always and everywhere deny the possibility of a conspiracy no matter how obvious and how much evidence may exist. The dinker at the same time believes in highly coordinated and well financed influential networks of white supremacists plotting to reinstate slavery. This figment of their addled minds also works tirelessly to oppress something a bltqzx community whatever that may be.
Love it.
Dink – used as a Noun or verb. Noun – ‘That paper is full of dinks.” Verb:- “Yo! Wikipedia just dinked Kunstler!”
Realist.
Wow. What a sorry state of affairs! The worst part is that the US administration is actually covering for China, an enemy state. I sense collapse is not far away.
Worse. It’s been verified that a high-ranking CCP member who worked as Vice Minister of State Security has defected to the US bringing absolutely terabits of information including names of all the Chinese Nationals, mostly students, who are working for the PLA. About a third of all Chinese students are here under pseudonyms, as they are the children of high-ranking military and government officials. Also included are the names of high-ranking American citizens, including government officials, business executives, scientists, and media personalities who are working with the CCP, and as you can imagine, this goes to the very top. His information included the highly inconvenient Hunter Biden laptop, detailing his unfortunate penchant for porn, drugs, underage girls, and willingness to sell out his country in partnership with his dad, and so much more. This information must be really setting the cat among the pigeons. What to do? What to do? In the hands of the DIA, he is being kept away from the FBI and other agencies at this time. Are people sweating bullets? I kind of doubt it.
Is this the story?
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chinese-defectors-identity-confirmed-was-top-counterintelligence-official-redstate
Thank you. Pretty interesting indeed. Who does the DIA report to?
The DIA answers to the Secretary of Defense – Lloyd Austin. Yup, I expect a whole lotta nothing. I hope someone’s keeping track of these bread crumbs being thrown out, then forgotten.
Yep.
I read that story.
The Chinese don’t defect. That person is a messenger, and his data trove is a message.
No wonder he thought a copy of Hunter’s laptop was important enough to bring along.
Mainland Chinese do not often defect. How do you account for Mr. Dong and his decision?
What you are sensing might be a DISCONNECT event or events. The US is disconnecting rapidly from the past arrangement into a new “World made by Hand.”
tenth!
jk
Don’t you mean teenth!
I wonder if the officialization of Juneteenth is not to celebrate an event that occured 158 years ago, but to keep the systemic racism/White supremacy/CriticalRaceTheory/1619Project at the forefront.
Yeah, the whole meme was already fading.
They needed something to buck it up, but the essence of the matter has not changed at all. For example, 100 club members will be shot in Chi on the 4th of July week, no matter how many bogus holidays are declared.
Brh
If more club members collect lead during holidays, then I suggest we make every day juneteenth.
You betcha!
It is a direct attack on the unity of a common culture in this country. It was passed unanimously in the Senate.
Deep State cowardice.
A question, when are we going to have a Latino Independence Day, there are more Latinos here than Blacks. Then how about China Independence Day, etc.
We have 365 days per year, I guess we cannot have more than 365 independence days.
I thought MLK day plus black month of January was the celebration of the Blacks in America.
That never existed. The only way it could exist would be for us to come down to their level – which started a few decades ago. This was Jefferson’s nightmare. The Founders never considered them prospective citizens. Conservatives are lying about that, including Tucker.
Lincoln did not have a clue. He did the Emancipation Proclamation to save the Union, to give flagging enlistments in the North something to fight for.
He would have sent them back to Africa if he could’ve.
The vast majority of the Black labor pool that was freed have never really fit into the European common culture here. Like the Latinos, they are not Americans, they are Africans living in America in their hearts.
Ask the BLM folks, would you like to take a chunk of land and secede from America? I think I know the answer.
What are the odds such a new black country would be self supporting? I foresee perpetual support payments from white America.
plus black month of January – JAZ
=========
It’s February and it’s called Black History Month.
Thank you! So MLK day, and February and Juneteenth. Hmmm?
How many months and days do the European Whites have to commemorate?
Let’s see? Columbus Day, nah, too White and anti Red, tear down those statues.
Fourth of July. Not a good idea to celebrate this one. Or make sure you fly a rainbow flag. Lots of Founding Fathers statues under threat.
President’s Day. Both are under attack for Woke BS.
Memorial Day. Even the Woke do not dare defile this day, besides, the dead do not care.
Labor Day. Ha, who labors any more. Should be renamed gimme day.
Veterans Day, ditto Memorial Day.
Halloween, a celebration of the US true personality.
Thanksgiving. Under attack from Native Americans
Easter and Christmas, well you name it, some one hates it.
Where does this go?
This has never happened in US history where minorities hated their holidays, Hello? No, this is new bullsh-t.
Columbus Day was created to show pride for Italian -Americans who were, at the time, treated as second-class citizens and made the butt of jokes. The woke crowd is busily repurposing it as Indigenous People’s Day.
Latino Lives Don’t Matter
They are playing the smart game, and winning.
anything to keep people divided, then promise them you~re the party that can fix the problem
you have to be as deluded as tekapo to fall for it
or just simply stupid and inherently dishonest
liberals revel in dishonesty
They have their America and we have ours. Peaceful separation is the only way forward. Or rather, the best way.
Probably the only way.
One of the BLMs problems is there are Blacks who are Americans and have prospered.
I’m sure the number of prosperous black Americans is far lower than the number of whites actively supporting Burn, Loot ‘n’ Murder. From what I’ve seen, more than half or BLM’s rank and file is white.
I don’t think separation is possible as long as the central command and control is intact – and it’s reach grows every day. The hand-off to China and the globalists will go smoothly. A few unavoidable embarrassments will be quietly buried beneath our golden fields of genetically-modified grain.
BB
Try to imagine, to extrapolate where the US progression goes if it continues unchecked.
Not pretty. It will not be anything like it’s patriotic 20th century.
JAZ, I’m all about extrapolation.
You’re right, the future of the US doesn’t look pretty – or even civilized – or even human.
We built a tower that is far too high and it’s coming down. It was going to collapse anyway, but this is a controlled demolition – to ensure our Masters consolidate their grasp of wealth and power.
The solution to surviving the collapse of the fossil fuel financialized world should be A World Made by Hand, (and we should have started building it awhile ago) but I don’t think that will be permitted to build that world. As I squint into the future the World I see looks “Brave” and “New”.
Could be an interesting weekend. Juneteenth on Saturday, solstice on Sunday and hot as blazes.
Thankfully, no full moon. It is not until the 24th. 🙂
President Trump finally came out and said the vaccines are not a good idea for “young people”.
This is absolutely true, and Bernie Sanders has already come out and said this too.
I see that the MSM can’t help but tell a bunch of lies while criticizing him:
Trump rails against Covid vaccines for ‘very young people’
With shots protecting older Americans, younger people now make up the majority of Covid patients in hospitals — something the former president didn’t mention in a Fox News interview.
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/06/16/trump-rails-against-covid-vaccines-for-very-young-people-494975
Good for Trump, Sanders, and anyone with a large audience who says this.
Perhaps they don’t want to be tied to genocide or eugenics.
Has anyone noticed how suddenly 15 months on Big Pharma have developed oral anti-viral Covid-19 “treatments” that are all under patent and will cost hundreds/thousands to prescribe even though Ivermectin was available from the beginning at 87 cents a pill??:
https://dnyuz.com/2021/06/17/a-pill-to-treat-covid-19-the-u-s-is-betting-on-it/
Crooks and criminals cashing in.
Where is the FBI to launch RICO investigations against the CDC, FDA, Fauci, his Big Pharma buddies and all the others?
We are all being punked.
Where is the FBI?
They’re watching Hunter’s sex videos, (use your imagination) and eating popcorn.
Another reason the MSM and social media have been burying/torpedoing IVM info. Big Pharma has been beavering away on their own early intervention treatments that will cost a whole more and make them big bucks. Hard to make those bucks if IVM gains strong evidence of effectiveness.
Just another huge part of the scam. Outrageous.
I missed these comments by former Pres Trump and Senator Sanders regarding the vaccines.
I remember during the 2004 elections, USA today’s electoral college map showed Republican in RED and Democrat in BLUE.
I thought this was backward–RED is the color of the communism in particular and the left in general, BLUE tends to be the established order and tradition. Should be RED=Dem, BLUE=GOP.
I see now that I maybe used the wrong, “classical” reference.
To the extent that, until that disaster W Bush, came in, Republicans were generally the party of some (often feigned, but still) responsibility concerning deficit spending and the debasement of our money. So they were RED, as you will see shortly.
WE are living in the “Matrix” (please see the movie). For those of you who have not seen it:
In the Matrix, Neo (the hero) is offered the RED pill, which represents reality–and it is grim and grey, or the BLUE pill, which is a machine-generated facade, which appears normal and comfortable (the baby boomers and generation X of the USA lived in an era of unmatched prosperity and convenience), but is an illusion, where the “machine” controls everything and everyone, to squeeze the energy out of them…
Forty years ago, by pure luck, a friend of my father’s, took an interest in my high school curiosity and opened my eyes by making me think outside the box on various topics.
Until then, I viewed politics then as the traditional left/right–Communism at one extreme, then Socialism/US Liberals, then ‘moderates’, then Conservative/Capitalists, then Fascist.
But that’s not linear–the differences between Fascism and Communism are superficial–in both, the few overtly control the many. (The Fascist regime is better at allowing the country to fulfill it’s economic potential). It’s a circle.
No, the linear is like this: on one end, totalitarianism (Communism/Fascism/many dictatorships), then major government control (from Singapore to most democracies today) , limited government (the USA from 1789 to 1861) , and anarchy at the other end. I realized this forty years ago.
But that’s all STILL the BLUE pill. It doesn’t address physical limitations and the fact that nothing can expand forever.
Then twenty-five years ago, I ran across “The Long Emergency”. That’s the RED pill. Cheap energy, probably not sustainable. And that’s the enabler, but we are confronted with other resource constraints, not to mention climate change, which has happened before modernity and is happening again. The 20th century, for Americans who were not maimed mentally or physically, or killed, in wars, was like an Eagle in golf–everything lined up, 3 strokes on a par 5! NOT the norm of human history….
In the context of the BLUE pill, where 99% of all Americans who don’t read this blog exist (or think they do), most of them know things don’t add up. This is why the two most popular presidential candidates of 2016 were those who spoke many of the inconvenient truths: Donald Trump, and Bernie Sanders. The former won the primary and the election, the latter was robbed of a fair contest in the primary by the Democratic party machine (aka Clinton/Obama).
It’s interesting that both of these pariahs (to the the deep state, aks “the machine”) would adopt the logical, albeit very tentative, position that vaccinating minors with experimental vaccines is not a good idea.
Even more interesting for Mr. Trump, since he is to a large extent invested in the “epic effort to get these vaccines out ASAP”. He thought the vaccine help him keep his seat–it was not enough.
Do we have any mask manufacturers or wholesalers reading?
I’ve seen some with the message “My governor is an idiot”.
That’s good, for some of us, but I want to find some masks that say:
“NOT WILLING to be a GUINEA PIG for EXPERIMENTAL VACCINES” with a smile at the bottom.
I waive all copyrights to the above.
…twenty five years LATER ran into “The Long Emergency” at a Barnes and Noble store (now closed). LE is only about 15 years old. Sorry.
I think that Trump and Sanders tentatively perching on the kiddie bandwagon is a pose to maintain their populist credibility.
Fool me once. Fool me twice. Fool me once again…
Those “My Governor is an Idiot” stickers are very popular in Michigan too. (Also available as flags and hats.) She faces re-election next year. She’ll win in a landslide – “Even the deer and bears (apparently…) voted for her”.
Yes, I agree – they are playing their populist parts. Nothing more.
And yes, how Sanders supporters are fooled over and over is one of the more entertaining phenomenons I’ve ever witnessed.
I think putting off that “emergency” meeting of the CDC, and then delaying it yet again was so they could figure out a way to either pin the problems on Trump, or find some new thing to distract and make it all go away.
Why would you drag out having an online meeting for something so important?
There is no good reason, so it has to be a bad one.
Hi BofO. Here is some logic to consider:
1) Trump told his most adament followers to be in DC Jan. 6 as it will be “wild.”
2) He shows up. Speaks. And says [paraphrased], “Meet me at the Capital Bldg!”
3) He does not show up there himself
4) They are then herded into the Capital Bldg
5) They now languish in dungeons sans Justice
6) Trump tries to build his own blog network but never once mentions these saps
Therefore, Trump is merely playing his role. DC is Pro Rasslin’ and the Good Guys and the Bad Guys all drink beer and laugh and profit together while the sheeple gobble it down and baaa.
Plot twist: Trump is an FBI operative.
AKA the Deep State. The DS is just finishing up absorbing what is left of the GOP. Uniparty!!
They will have to do some very creative spinning. Who knows what they are planning? And yes, it’s insidious they are delaying what is essentially an emergency situation.
They should have shut down the trial months ago, when people were first dropping dead or getting clots or Bell’s Palsy.
The holiday they postponed their meeting over isn’t even today.
Good point.
It’s not enough for a law to be unconstitutional to have it struck down.
Now you have to show how it personally harmed you, and in order to do that you have to have “standing”, and evidently no one has any standing.
This is new for me, I thought the Supreme Court was different from a court where you go to sue the guy who messed up installing your replacement windows, but I guess not.
Our rule of law is hanging by a thread, if not already gone. Judges were placed or bribed or whatever well in advance of this hoax.
Remember in 1976 when the Swine Flu killed 56 people and it was brought to a roaring halt?:
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/long-shadow-1976-swine-flu-vaccine-fiasco-180961994/
5,000 Americans have died from all the Covid-19 vaccines so far. Why are they not stopping the jabs?
Hundreds of mostly young men developing potentially life-changing myocarditis after the jabs, so the answer is to continue to play Pfizer/Moderna/J&J Roulette with the American people?
Is there ONE person who is in Congress demanding a halt to this insanity?
You mean the vaccine killed 56 people. “Swine flu” only killed 1 and hospitalized 13 – and for that we got a massive vaccination program.
1976 was also the year of “Legionnaire’s Disease” – caused by a “previously unknown” strain of bacteria – which broke out ironically in July in Philadelphia, among members of the American Legion. Sweet sweet irony…
We all laughed it off as more of bobble-head Gerald Ford’s incompetence. That’s what ya get for playing football without a helmet. (Gerald Ford, born Leslie King, of the Warren Commission, the first appointed president).
As a kid steeped in the history of this country, I looked forward to celebrating the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of the US. I followed the events of two centuries earlier as close as those of the days in which I was living. By the time the fireworks started going off, I had developed the sneaking suspicion that our government is a cabal of scoundrels.
The US turns 250 in 5 years. It will be interesting to see how we mark the occasion.
Thanks for that important correction!
Abby, that wasn’t a correction, I thought you meant that the vaccine killed 56 people and that because of that the drive to vaccinate was halted. I don’t know of any deaths linked to the swine flu vaccine, but according to the linked article it caused 450 cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome. The vaccine manufacturers received indemnity and a guaranteed profit.
US at 250–will it be a virtual celebration of our virtual freedoms?
Excellent comment.
The plandemics were done over and over until there was enough buy-in, which happened this time.
I do, indeed. Watched a really sad segment on 60 minutes (back when they were allowed to question the PTB) from then, about a woman who was permanently disabled by a vaccine.
I never paid much attention to the dispute about whether the virus originated in the Wuhan lab, since it always seemed self-evident to me that it did.
As for the “why,” it also seems self-evident to me that China was not exactly a lone wolf acting solely in their own interests in this matter. This was a hoax that was perpetrated world-wide, by people who have the power to do such things by virtue of their control of almost all world governments. Hence, it was banking/financial-system actors.
Their motives are rather obviously further centralization of economic power, economic destruction of the middle class, the abrogation of virtually all civil rights, and creating a precedent for virtual martial law under the pretext of protecting public health.
All this is to prepare the way for the “great reset.” This will probably involve the destruction of all world currencies and their replacement with their own brand of digital currency, controlled by a single central bank.
This scenario will require near-total economic collapse, with most of the world’s population reduced to desperate straits.
Now, what I am about to say is pure speculation, but I suspect that both the virus and the vaccination were ready years in advance, to be rolled out at a time of their (the banking sector’s) own choosing.
I further suspect that they have yet another truly deadly virus sitting on the shelf, ready to be rolled out at a time of their own choosing. The time for that would be after most of the world’s population has been made destitute and desperate (and potentially dangerous). I don’t know whether this speculative deadly virus will attack only the vaccinated or also all those who have come in contact with the vaccinated. (Seems to be designed to shed.)
Everything is now in place, and they will pull the trigger when the time is ripe.
This rather smacks of a “conspiracy theory,” of course. But you’d be nuts to think that the whole thing wasn’t gamed out every step of the way. It is also reasonable to assume that there are a few more steps that have not yet been executed.
Remember, back at the beginning, when some Chinese said they thought the virus was released on purpose, to get rid of excess old people?
People said a virus as a weapon isn’t much good because it kills indiscriminately, but this one doesn’t. It affects mainly the very elderly, which the Chinese don’t want, and the obese, which China doesn’t have, but America does.
The story of Ivermectin being a safe, effective, and inexpensive treatment for the Wuhan flu is still being suppressed.
The vaccines are illegal if there is a treatment available that works.
“Remember, back at the beginning, when some Chinese said they thought the virus was released on purpose, to get rid of excess old people?” ~ Beryl of Oil
The kids early on called it “The Boomer Remover”.
And “boomers” who weren’t ready to keel over and die and had the strange idea of being treated by doctors were accused of being selfish dogs in the manger.
I put “boomer” in quos because most people who rant about boomers have no idea what the actual baby boom cohort is. The oldest baby boomers are now 74.
These horrid people ranting against the elderly apparently never stopped to think that actually elderly people (in the UK) had paid into the National Health and/or Social Security/Medicare all their lives, and now they have a right to access the services.
Not if they are dead.
Even the incredibly intelligent Ken Jennings, of Jeopardy fame, got it wrong when he called Alex Trebek (born 1940) a boomer. Kids…
You just nailed the big crime which not one person in the MSM is discussing. Not even Tucker Carlson.
The first part of “the emergency use authorization” for the vaccines states that all potential safe and effective “treatments” must be exhausted prior to vaccine rollout to the public.
Early on, clinical trials were happening in different countries for Ivermectin and the results were very good, as Dr. Pierre Kory tried to explain to Sen. Ron Johnson’s committee. (Almost every member walked out on his testimony and the video on YouTube was scrubbed after garnering six million views).
NO clinical trials for Ivermectin have been allowed in the United States because Big Pharma is calling the shots in Congress and at The White House and with the MSM and Big Tech. Ivermectin has become “The ‘I’ Word.
This is a CRIME and everyone involved should be indicted for it as MAJOR harm has been done with the vaccines and the mandatory germ-laden masks people are being forced to wear (especially children):

Agree, Abby! EVERYONE who had a hand in this war crime, from politicians to doctors to health officials. And mostly, Gates and Fauxi.
They should all be tried and executed.
BTW now there is evidence that the CDC has deleted 150K deaths from VAERS.
Nice Anthea. My personal guess would be sooner rather than later for the next bug – while they have the momentum. Probably as early as this coming fall & winter.
When one fighter has another on his heels, they don’t let up – they keep advancing – looking for the knockout punch.
My guess is that it will be this coming fall and winter only if all else is in readiness. I.e., is it time to collapse the currency? Are all the world’s financial institutions on board and well positioned? Perhaps mask-fatigue has been factored into the strategy. I would look for a major PR campaign celebrating the defeat of covid through both the vaccines and the restrictive measures–to prepare people to embrace a second round, which would be made easier if there really were a high number of deaths to kick it off.
Agreed – it won’t be until the table is completely set and as you say, “only if all else is in readiness”. A concern is that if they feel like they are losing the narrative on too many fronts, they may go for broke in a “now or never” reactionary gamble.
I would argue that’s what they have been doing for the past few months.
The Cyber Polygon exercise (a WEF production) is wargaming on July 9 a “targeted supply chain attack”. Rehearsal for the key players.
If I were “Them”, I’d shut down a major pipeline or several this winter – after using HAARP to heat an area of the ionosphere to drive the jet stream and a cold front way down south. Make those gun-totin’ rednecks burn their houses to keep warm. Then slap them with $8,000 gas bills. Good thing I’m not them…
And of course because of “hackers”, we have to get rid of physical money, make it all virtual…

Good stuff … however rather more realistic and rational than our regular conspiracy junkies would prefer, is my guess!
Cyber Polygon is a good name for a grunge band from about 1984.
Tek, HAARP and weather modification aren’t fudgenuttery enough for you? Guess I gotta try harder…
“Cyber Polygon is a good name for a grunge band from about 1984.” One of those bands that’s only appreciated long after its members got real jobs.
’ If I were “Them”, I’d shut down a major pipeline or several this winter – after using HAARP to heat an area of the ionosphere to drive the jet stream and a cold front way down south. ’
Blackbird -wtf? Your posts are generally “reasoned”. Why/how have you fallen into this particular quagmire of a rabbit hole?
Feel free to provide credible evidence of HAARP being anything other than what it says on “the can”. In any case, it was closed in 2014 (at least, ‘officially’!!! But you can’t trust the US Govt. “we all know that”, don’t we, OGre?
This rather smacks of a “conspiracy theory,” of course. But you’d be nuts to think that the whole thing wasn’t gamed out every step of the way.
It sure does smack of conspiracy theory, and it will continue to be derided by rational minds until you put some evidence on the table. But it’s always the same “great reset OWG plot” repeated endlessly, with no evidence, no back-up.
I don’t think it’s “nuts” to reject the theory at all. We have had a mild pandemic that has killed over three million, but it’s not the end of the world – not even a reset.
Mind you, a few things being reset could be attractive: an end to mindless consumerism, reducing profligate energy use, looking after the environment better, having healthier food, national health system … it’s a long list.
And until proven otherwise, I’ll accept that the virus escaped by infecting three workers, just as soon it was pathogenic for humans. And I am deeply intrigued as to why the US medical establishment and the Pentagon funded GOF research so that it did become a human virus.
you somehow missed klaus schwab?
really, tekapo, a sophisticate who sips crisp chardonnay on his tiny yacht
Tekapo imagines conspiracies with no evidence in some areas (AZ audit). Then fails to see connections where evidence is overwhelming. Then he once again waves his “rational mind” in front of us to prove his opinions really count as fact. And what we think is just a load of crap.
Been down this road so often, I know every turn and bump. LOL
Hahaha! You nailed it.
you somehow missed klaus schwab?
Not at al – he loves a crisp Chardonnay at sunset – and a spin on the tiny yacht off Monte Carlo.
Dr. John Lee, a pathologist in the UK, said from the very beginning that deaths due to coronavirus were being overcounted. So three million may be correct but in a population of 7+ billion it’s nothing to panic about. The Black Death in the Middle Ages had a death toll of 50%, not 0.00042. And here’s a voice of reason on viruses in general:
“The point is that no cell has ever existed which did not have to live alongside replicating RNA molecules, and, later, RNA viruses. It’s not unusual to have a new virus that’s out to get us. It happens all the time, in more ways than we have been able to measure. Every amoeba, every simple organism composed of a few cells, every fetus in its mother’s womb, every child, every adult, has to make their way in a world rife with independent RNA molecules following their own agenda.”
https://spectatorworld.com/topic/coronavirus-immunity-riddle/
Because politics and political hatreds have so deformed truth, it’s all but impossible to know who’s lying, who’s not, and who, in spite of everything, has clung to sanity.
Well said, SW.
“The point is that no cell has ever existed which did not have to live alongside replicating RNA molecules, and, later, RNA viruses. It’s not unusual to have a new virus that’s out to get us. It happens all the time, in more ways than we have been able to measure.

Yes – it’s interesting, and possibly even correct – but hardly earth-shattering. I think we all know that there is a war going on at the cellular level, and has been going on for 3+ billion years.
However I fail to see its relevance or usefulness. If you follow the logic to its conclusion, then there would be no discipline called “medicine” at all, no germ theory, no vaccinations, no antibiotics, no painkillers, no chemotherapy, no heroic efforts to make food safe, and water safe.
Is that the reason we shouldn’t take Covid-19 seriously?
Brilliant, Anthea. Thank you!
HOW?
It seems the inscrutable ones, no friends of the American Experiment, alr4dy partnered with other like-minded groups Asian & the full population of Mohammedanism; shall commence with massive satellite destruction, coupled with Electromagnetic Pulse generators spread thru out North America via container traffic. More than a few Troposphere nuclear detonations for topping off the EMP atmosphere. PDRK; Pakistan; Russian help too. Shares for everyone!
Mainland China and Korea will be pockmarked like Swiss Cheese; the commissars and upper echelon party members betting the tunnels are deep enough. Ace in the hole for the Chinese Communist Party are the 40,000 Boeing transport aircraft, all instrumentation shielded and independent on-board controls, flying through the EMP laden skies to predetermined landing places (Freeways) or parachuting 250 troops, into predetermined sectors where they will secure utilities, warehousing and transportation assets. This commences with an EMP afternoon, runs through the night, and is accomplished in 24 hours. China will absorb her licks.
The EU; they lay low… America has closed hundreds of military bases since Clinton, so ability to stake out perimeters by home forces would be limited. China, having mucho practice in modern era rail based strategics. immediately puts several 100’s of thousands of tech savvy men to control utilities; specifically rail savvy men to appropriating control over all existing North American 1435mm rail network, Honduras to Nova Scotia. Drone surveillance of rail lines commences immediately, in turn surveilled by a flock of new/newly revealed look-down spy satellites. Vegetation and structures not part of the rail plant is burned down or demolished within 100 meters of rail line. These spaces are lethal no-go zones. Try to grasp the fact China has the numbers, the skills, and airlift!
As time passes and North American resource management is perfected, recurrence of Cyber/EMP sabotage prompts delivery of thousands of Chinese manufactured SY class stream locomotives protection against any sort of electrical disruption in total. Chinese/Russian food sharing treaty includes standard Gauge rail link across Bering Strait enabling several day transit for foodstuffs between continents. Not a pleasant prospect for the electronic generation, reduced to forced labor and a Soylent Green retirement program…
This draft was created over breakfast… what can several well financed adversarial nations, hundreds of think tanks and research cadres accomplish working year-on-year. Cyber warfare is ice shavings on some serious ice shelfs!! We have work to do.
The PTB have definitely been chattering about the possibilities of cyber warfare, that is for sure.
One theory is China wants our farmland. Otherwise China would have nuked us [with technology Clinton let them steal or buy].
I think China is far more likely to buy up the US – what they want of it anyway – than to invade. The world will eventually toss out the burst condom formerly known as the US Dollar and take whatever China gives us. At that point our fairy dust economy falls to the bottom of the snow globe. Utilities, infrastructure, for sale to the lowest and only bidder. We will become China’s economic vassal without any shots fired.
One theory is China wants our farmland. Otherwise China would have nuked us [with technology Clinton let them steal or buy].
Whose theory would that be? Sounds straight out of Dr Strangelove. Nobody wins a thermonuclear war – even the dead-set lunatics inhabiting the Pentagon and the Forbidden City know that.
You don’t understand that the US is in trillions of dollars of debt to China?
It was gamed out. Many people have posted countless articles and videos proving just that.
And of course all you have to do is visit the WEF website.
All of those ‘live exercises’ and ‘scenarios’ were exactly what is happening now. Who knows what they are injecting people with? It doesn’t stop COVID19, because COVID19 doesn’t exist, not as they claim it does. They just rebranded the regularly existing flu season and pumped up the numbers. When that wasn’t enough, they invented ‘cases’ and ‘variants’. And on and on it goes.
This repeated view that COVID19 doesn’t “exist” is enough proof that you’re full of shit MaryQ. ‘Everyone knows that.’
Well yes – as long as they have a real vaccine for themselves against the deadly one. Or plan to completely isolate while it finishes off the world.
They don’t need a vaccine. All they need to do is panic the sheep and drive them all off the cliff, shaming and sending the dogs after any that don’t follow along. In country after country, 70% “vaccination” is the goal, being attempted mostly by various forms of coercion.
So you think you are free at last? Free to apply logic to the latest propaganda outburst from our Malignant Overlords?
Let’s apply Ocam’s Razor to the suddenly new story reversal that paints the Yellow Peril as the source of the Worldwide Pandemic. That’s the same story line that only two weeks ago would get you censored for even mentioning it. Who benefits from this strange flip flop? It wouldn’t be the same War Lovers who have been searching for a new pretext to take the place of the Middle Eastern Ragheads who have exhausted their usefulness? China is a much more useful enemy, partly because their economy is an actual threat to Pax America’s ability to control the world economy by printing money out of thin air and using it for the world’s reserve currency. The War Lovers are nothing if not delusional. They have finally come to understand that Putin says what he means —- if the American Empire dares to set foot on Mother Russia’s soil all sorts of hell will rain down upon the West from hypersonic weapons against which the US has no defense. But the War Lovers still think they can have a nice little war in the China Sea or Taiwan which will serve the traditional purpose of jump starting the post Covid economy and putting all the crack heads back on the assembly lines. .
Maybe that’s why Biden is backing a repeal of the Iraq War Authorization at this time?
To look like the Democrats are against forever war, because they don’t need the Middle East Wars anymore. because they have a replacement war all lined up?
When someone in government appears to be doing the right thing, it pays to look behind the curtain.
I don’t know if we want war with China, but IMO you are correct about the MIC. They want the military budget to keep increasing, so world peace is not an acceptable option for them. Expect to see more scary dialogues, skirmishes and the like to keep that military budget rising. They are safe as long as they can manufacture more enemies.
Bill
Our military was built for the twentieth century and is obsolete as a tool in geopolitics.
Just watched a trio of national security folks discussing with Fox News the new forms of warfare. Their primary concern was a biological agent being used in conjunction with crypto warfare. They consider that what we have seen recently are just thrusts by our enemies to see what they can do and get away with, under guise of supposedly private companies doing the dirty work.
The three said that we better start fighting back, “carrying a big stick”, or we will be overwhelmed.
I am curious, what under the cover stuff is going on between Putin and Xi?
“so world peace is not an acceptable option for them.”
Bill,
…Not an option for anyone..
History.
You still think it’s a good idea for White kids to join the army?
Yo,
The Military I was familiar with, yes. Today’s military may or may not be viable…depends upon what you believe to be true in reportage….
Well, somebody gotta defend Pride Week, Juneteenth, and the 10 story parking garage in the heart of town.
My favorite conspiracy theory for the Wuhan Flu is that it originated in the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg and was sent to the Wuhan lab by two Chinese guest researchers who were subsequently deported back to China. Maybe we should call it Winnie the Flu.
Very good!
Mix Garden of Delights, The Scream, Atonal Music, The Twilight Zone, Sci-Fi, American Soap Operas and Sitcoms, The Black Plague, The American Civil War, and a few other atrocities of live and livingness, and you have… the current state of affairs and condition of America. Or, should I write it as, “America”, since America died a long time ago?
CORRECTION:
“…of LIFE and livingness…”
Juneteenth the slaves found out they were free in Texas. It’s been celebrated here by the black community for decades. Either this will be made into a wedge like many other historical events surrounding slavery or turn into a day for stores to hold sales — like the Labor Day Sale?

Great article today, James.
If you wanted to stoke a race war, aggravate tensions, highlight, amplify and play on the differences between people, increase the level of violence and hatred in society and generally prevent any form of unity in the USA whilst simultaneously doing nothing to improve the lives of black people, you would do exactly what “Joe Biden” and the Democrats are doing right now, to the letter.
OG and I joked about a Boulder Free Zone last thread. If any of y’all get your act together and secede then I may emigrate from Airstrip One.
“Improve the lives of black people” – you are still far from the Truth. Black don’t want to improve their lives. They’re perfect as they are, racist.
I agree. Their stated goal, not mine.
The only people who can improve the lives of black people are, black people. White folks aren’t the problem.
I’d welcome a Zone Free of Boulders.
@Mary — I agree with what you wrote. It’s America’s Never Forget (or put the past behind you) Day. There were terrible injustices and slavery was wrong in every way, Jim Crow laws needed to be abolished (and were) schools, restaurants, everything needed to be integrated and have been.
But this keeps slavery front and center and unless this is made into a holiday that is inclusive — a wrong was righted — it will add to the divisiveness.
Yes, it’s ridiculous. Punishing the entire country also for what 7% did. Those were the only ones who owned slaves out of the entire populace.
Then slaves were freed, allowed to join into regular society, and finally integrated, from the 1960s – present. When the CRT garbage really started, we were at a place where there was less racism in this country than ever. The PTB couldn’t have all that harmony, so they had to introduce Robin DiAngelo to mess it all up.
Ffs. Delusional nonsense.
They want to savage us. As one Antifa flag says, We will tread on you.
Some observers who are hardly dumb or crazy think that China wants to reduce the USA to a vassal nation that can only supply China with food, oil, and other resources.
That would nicely explain why Bill Gates has become the largest farmland owner in the USA.
I am less sure that the uneconomic harvesting of rock farts (fracking) interests the Chinese much. They’ll probably build the pipeline from “Fort Mac” (norther Alberta) to the BC Pacifc coast. [Yes! Tar Sands glunk running through the frozen, jagged Canadian Rockies – what will they think of next?]
They can then refine & ship or ship then refine. Tar sands glunk takes intensive, custom refining. Sweet Alberta Crude it is not. [You don’t hear of Sweet Alberta Crude or Sweet Texas Crude much any more, do ya? Peak oil as we spend more and more getting less and less in return. Uneconomic.]
——
And, they won’t have to worry about fishing boats because the waters will be made bitter (by Fukushima).
peak oil was in 1970, then 1980, then 1990, and now we have more than ever
No, rube. While foreseen in the 1970s, Peak Oil was around the turn of the millennium. Oil production / consumption at those peak levels was then extended (in time) as the USA uneconomically harvested rock farts (fracking) and briefly once again produced more than it consumed. Those days are gone.
Now, whenever the World economy heats up the least little bit, Supply / Demand cranks up the price of oil and puts the brakes on the economy. Classic Peak Oil
It’s a slow train comin’
We are here.
Rube – do yourself a favor & stick to things you know something about.
I tend to agree, Rube.
It looks like oil production peaked at 101 million bpd in about July, 2019. Not to worry, there are articles every day in publications like the Guardian and Forbes declaring that oil is an unnecessary, outdated commodity, easily replaceable by renewables.
Really, Heckler?
Peak oil in July and then a global “pandemic” lockdown by March.
What a co-inky dink!
Yep, Airbus sez they’ll be running them iron birds on hydrogen in the future. LOL! I shouldn’t laugh as I’ll be unemployed but I do think most people believe in the idea that you just switch out a coal-fired power plant for a few wind turbines or solar panels and everything will carry on as it is.
It may not be in our lifetime, Slugoon, but then my dad couldn’t have conceived of actual space travel as a boy in the forties. Progress is as unrelenting as gravity.
https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/PT.3.4632
I thought conventional crude peaked for you guys in the early 70s, or am I wrong?
Hey Slugger. I Believe that West Texas Crude peaked in the 1970s and that Alberta Crude peaked in the 1980s.
Of course global oil production is the sum of all the regional production.
I’m talking about Global production / consumption.
Heckler sez that that peaked in July 2019 at Just a hair over 100 mbpd.
We seem to have crossed in the ether, Slugoon.
My understanding too.
That’s when they stopped building cars that looked like boats, and briefly took to European-looking vehicles, before the advent of SUVs. Or so it seemed. 🙂
“peak oil was in 1970, then 1980, then 1990, and now we have more than ever [..]”
No guarantees re my memory, but my understanding was that it was US conventional oil whose production peaked in the early 1970s, and that the global peak came later (early noughties?).
Peak oil, when it was first a thing, was about conventional oil production. Nobody knew people were going to squeeze oil out of sands and shales, or blast it out of rocks.
I’ve quoted him before, but I always like Rob Hoskins’ analogy of tar sands production as being like when the pub has run out of beer and the punters are so desperate that they start to wring the spilt beer out of the carpet.
What I never understood about tar sands and fracking is that people saw them as something hopeful when they both scream utter desperation.
You’re Right.
tar sands production as being like when the pub has run out of beer and the punters are so desperate that they start to wring the spilt beer out of the carpet.
That’s a good analogy!
Utter desperation?
Exactly, Fossil fuels are a necessity to current human life on earth.
Notice that the GND folks do not really have a plan to obsolete oil.
All they have done is try to negate what Trump did to raise the oil output of the US.
We have to have oil, period. We will do whatever it takes to get that last barrel of oil out of the ground. Financially feasible, who cares, some one will pay for it.
Until Peak Oil, the depletion of available oil, really occurs, some where around 2100, per JHK.
I wonder what the reserves of Saudi Arabia are today? According to JHK in 2005, the reserves are a state secret.
I think they still are a state secret, JAZ, but from my memory of Twilight in the Desert, all the big oil fields in SA were discovered in the 60s and are now using tertiary recovery methods. I’m not sure if any large fields have been found since then.
My dad reckons the USA has got a stash of billions of barrels tucked away underground somewhere.
You are correct, Slugger. Saudi Arabia’s oil production has peaked.
Global oil production seemingly has peaked. It is a slow train and the peak can only be identified in the rearview mirror.
When it takes more energy to destroy the Earth’s mantle and its precious ground water than what you get at the other end, you are running an uneconomic sham.
Fracking was an uneconomic racket. It did briefly extend Peak Oil and radically altered the Petro-Dollar as the USA briefly produced more energy than it consumes. Those uneconomic forces have played themselves out and ain’t nobody dumping more money into those uneconomic ventures. Fracking is dead.
Peak Oil does not mean “last barrel.” Peak Oil means that we’ve burnt half – the Good, Easy half.
Your Dad is probably Right, Slugger. When US Sec. Of Def. Donald Rumsfeld announced $2,200,000,000,000 MIA from the Pentagram on 9/10/2001, TPTB were telling us, “We have more wealth than you can possibly imagine.”
The USA has comfortable high-speed rail.
It’s a Big Club and you ain’t in it.
What about that oil volcano they set off in the Gulf of Mexico some years ago? Maybe we shouldn’t have corked it like that.
Peak Oil does not mean “last barrel.” Peak Oil means that we’ve burnt half – the Good, Easy half.
I think it means peak production (mbpd), which is not necessarily half, but I catch ya. It’s true that all the light, sweet, low-hanging fruit has long gone.
That’s probably why they’re now trying to wean everyone off it, flatten the depletion curve (where have we heard that before) and push the date of EROEI<1 further into the future.
You’re Right. In a perfect Bell Curve the peak occurs at exactly half. The Real World data of oile depletion may not be a perfect Bell Curve. Of course we will never know as we do not have accurate enough data on total consumption since 1860s and it will be impossible to determine how much we can’t get or is uneconomical to get.
——
That’s why they are exterminating us by the Billions.
Sorry, OGre, but those two statements cannot go unchallenged. Pity you took offended../
It is NOT impossible.
I like your carpet wringing analogy, GA.
Many years ago when i smoked, I’d sometimes run out late at night. So I’d get a few puffs off the squashed butts in the ash tray. Disgusting addict behavior is what it was.
If our whole society depended on the tar sands for energy, we’d be in serious trouble. It take so much energy to extract the energy; we’d be an impoverished dystopia overall.
Modern prosperity springs from cheap energy. We could live in a world with the latest computer technology running off solar panels. But no petrol and food production depends on a reliable ox pulling a plow. At that level of efficiency about half the population would work as serfs. I wonder if that thought has occurred to anyone?
In my opinion, this is where it’s all going. Global organisations and governments are not stupid. They know all about resource limits and exponential population growth.
My guess is that instead of nature taking its course, instead of this or that country playing ‘last man standing’, TPTB are trying to manage the decline, which requires coordination and control of things on a global scale.
Whether C19 was part of the plan I don’t know but, if it isn’t, then certain interests are taking advantage of it. I think all this Build Back Better stuff is absolutely coordinated between the advanced nations and is why they’re all so in favour of open borders.
Slugoon, I suspect it doesn’t have to go that way. I think there are technologies involving new energy sources and much else which have been withheld from humanity by malignant forces.
I guess that qualifies me for a tin hat.
I guess you haven’t heard of Power of Siberia.

The world will do whatever necessary to get oil. Russia knows it, China knows it, only Biden’s mob does not have a clue.
The world without oil is not really on the agenda for the AGW fight, just on the agenda for a bunch of zealots fighting for an impossible cause.

Russia has the gas—enormous fields.

Russia has the deal with China.
Maybe you are motivated kick your habit of consuming Amazon burps and access a genuine information source:
https://www.gazprom.com/about/production/transportation/
The annual yield on Gazprom shares is 4.67%.
We seem to have crossed wires, islander.
I was merely playing on your words and pointing out another feature for which Siberia is also known – the kind of gas production you really don’t want, spewing into the atmosphere with about 26 time the greenhouse properties of C02.
But JohnAZ is right, of course, that no-one will do anything about it. Or probably can do anything about it. John didn’t mistake my meaning, but my apologies for not spelling it out for you. I thought not giving ‘power’ a starting cap. would make it clear enough. Obviously not.
So, sorry for making your insults a bit redundant, but enjoy them anyway if you need to.
Which reminds me of that military, money guzzling NATO.
Set up to protect Europe from the Big Bad Bear.
But things do change. The US likes to make Russia and Putin the Boogie Men we need NATO to fight.
The only problem is that now Germany, France, Spain etc. have billions of dollars in business dealings with Putin and they are really not in the mood to keep pretending Putin’s out to get ‘em.
OG
Hmm?
You strike a chord.
I have heard of the pipeline from the tar sands proposed to go to the Pacific Coast. Now we have Biden’s mob stopping US connection to the area through pipelines.
Hmmm? Does China already run this country?
They should, JAZ. They own it.
They bought it for inexpensive mixing bowl sets and other everyday low prices.
China bought USA fair and square.

I gotta think that there are more than a few Chinese men who built the railroads across the Great expanses of Western North America (while being treated like a commodity) that would laugh their asses off if they could see this turn of events.

Americans knew that China having all their T-Bills would not matter because they’d simply forfeit and bomb as necessary.
It turns out that that’s not the way it’s going down. Rather, China now owns USA and there is to be no bickering about it.
I find it interesting how the Peak Oil aspect of this comment stirred much discussion (Hello, Josie!) while Bill Gates & Fukushima remain unexplored.
Peak oil got me into all this, and Alba too, I think? We’re going back to our roots, and to TLE.
Greg Hunter on his website posted that Ohio Governor Mike DeWine wants to make it mandatory that everyone in his State take the vaccine. That’s bullshit and if I lived in Ohio, I would pack my bags and leave ASAP.
We’ve only Just begun
There’s no where to run. This is a global event.
Why leave? That just sidesteps the problem and does no one any good. Resistance is the only possible response. If I’d leave anything, it would be the US altogether. We all knew this day was coming.
Start by coming up with a list of places that are better, I am watching.
Anyone who runs against that scumbag who is into personal choice will win.
I am from Ohio and I would fight that little prick.
Very good article today, Jim. You only missed the soon to be imploding housing bubble (again) and the stock market correction.
And the UFOs are flying again and they’re out to get America. In this hilarious article —
“We take the issue of unexplained aerial phenomena seriously to the extent that we’re dealing with the safety and security of US military personnel or the national security interests of the United States, so we want to know what we’re dealing with,” Sean Patrick Maloney, a Democratic congressman from New York, told the New York Post.”
One of our genius bureaucrats said that “it had to be from another galaxy and 50 to 1000 years ahead of us in technology.”
The American people will get a full accounting of the UFO information just like we did with the JFK assassination and 9/11.
Cough.
If only Trump had originally said that there’s no way in hell the virus came from a lab leak and it had to be of natural origin, the media and the dems would have been screaming for an investigation into the lab over a year ago, certain that that was the only plausible theory.
If only life were that simple.
I’ve often said that if Trump said that Arsenic was a lethal poison then Democrats would be insisting it was a superfood…..
“What’s left? Health care and pharma, two odious rackets preying on the psychological weakness of people so beaten down by adversity that they can only console themselves with junk food, liquor, sexual debauchery, and drugs, and then must beg the health care system to fix them — after which it squashes them to death with outlandish charges for services rendered.”
Their motto used to be… ‘Do Not Harm’. But today, it’s, “Do NOTHING BUT Harm. Physically. Financially. Spiritually. Socially. There’s big money in harm. Real big money. Lots of harm. Lots of customers with no end in sight, ever. There’s little to be gained by having a society of healthy people who don’t need nor want your wretched Mad-Scientist-Doctor potions and poisons and prattlings and puffery and thugery and smugery.
These are fabulous times to be employed by the Medical Industrial Mafia or by Big Harma Pharma™. And there is even a better future in becoming an undertaker. Who will be the first undertakers to offer group family rates?
Revelation 9
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
so tell us what the locusts are and what the power is they have, and why that~s similar to scorpions, and what scorpions really are
anyway, the scenario could describe ANY wartime situation
also, tell us what 5 months signifies and why
First off, rube, I don’t know. I think that we’d all agree that Revelation is cryptic.
I Believe that the scorpions and the 5 months are to be taken literally. The pain that the marked will endure for these 5 months will be similar to the pain that one feels after the scorpion sting.
I cannot speculate as to the locusts (delivery mechanism). As is often the case, the Lord’s Word is impossible to decipher beforehand but crystal clear once fulfilled.
I don’t know why the scorpion-like pain will be endured, with death an impossible relief, for a period of 5 months other than, “because God said so.”
Lastly, rube, while Revelation 9:3-6 could describe any wartime situation, it is, in fact, describing this coming wartime situation.
In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them. 7And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, with something like crowns of gold on their heads, and faces like the faces of men. 8They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions.…
Yoho: Drones? Or rock musicians using sound as a weapon a la Dune?
Interesting, Yoho. Thx.
“and faces like the faces of men. 8They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions.…:
Yo,
Send them out, so that we might know them….

They are busy making a buck in Dayton by cooking the BroodX locusts into pizzas.
I hear the wings give the outside crust a certain crunch.
You know?
Could it be that the corruption we are noting throughout our economy are parting shots from industries that are being sucked, no pushed out of the US.
What is really going on? Where are we in the US being led? What do the commies want to do with us? What are the Deep State idiots going to do with 330 million people when there is no economy to support them? Do they want a nanny state? With what money? UBI is the most ludicrous idea ever. I really think that the Left thinks that everyone will be supported by the government eventually.
What are the Deep State idiots going to do with 330 million people when there is no economy to support them?
Reduce them, obviously, until the intersection of Supply & Demand.
Obviously?
Like standing in the euthanasia line?
Is this to be voluntary?
What happens to their plan when there is no reaction to the vaccines this fall?
Yes, obviously, JAZ. You think that they are bumbling nincompoops while they are not.
Yes, exactly like standing in the euthanasia line. Identical.
No, not voluntary. Duped, rather.
I do not know their plan but am pretty sure it is thoroughly enforced with contingencies throughout. They’ve been lugging this football since 1717, thay are not going to fumble it on the 1-yard line.
Doesn’t matter, there are thousands already dead. Same as with their other vaccine plots.
But the flip-flop on Wuhan leaves some extremely uncomfortable questions that the nation is too distracted (or dishonest) to debate in the public forum, the public forum these days being mostly social media: Twitter and Facebook. And it’s not altogether clear whether they will continue to suppress discussion about the origin of the virus, and issues arising out of that — though they risk looking tyrannically obtuse if they keep up the gaslighting. And in these sorry years of anything goes and nothing matters, Zuck and Jack may never have to answer for their craven deeds.
Zuck & Jack were clearly in on it. This whole thing was a clever ruse. The virus was natural until they jabbed over 2,000,000,000 souls with their blasphomous poison. They needed to suppress The Truth until the deed was done. Zuck & Jack were clearly in on it.
Of course they were.
Fauci has emails (in the FOIA mails) from Zuckerberg in which Zuckerberg asks how they can help censor opposition and aid Fauci’s disinformation campagin.
This isn’t even a question at this point.
I did not know that. Thx, NO.
—–
Now … why do you & I know this? What are we missing? How does us knowing this benefit them?
I do not Believe that they have engineered global Totalitarianism, Techno Feudal Serfdom to ultimately be foiled by a FOIA request.
What’s next?
The FOIA/Fauxi stuff is a distraction.
In terms of Fauci being a fall guy, yes, but the emails are not a distraction in terms of the content.
They provide the link to the US government’s (among others) involvement in the greater context of the Great Reset.
Right. Like Butch & Tré’s divorce.
@NO – so, are TPTB Really taken aback by this FOIA “loss” or are they are simply rubbing our nose in it?
And Ashli Babbitt is more potent weapon to beat them over the head with. Truth should be our polestar, yes. But sometimes we must deviate from it in order to Win.
OG, they are fully out in the open.
At this point, it is a question of IQ.
Agree, Night Owl.
However, the more they emphasize the origin or nature of the so-called virus, the more they legitimize it. That is my only concern.
I agree it’s of massive importance that the connections are made. Just today I found a connection between Reuters and Blackstone/Blackrock.
So, all important, but my issue is, if the MSM is reporting it, then I start to become nervous.
Yes, Mary. If you really want to cut down to the very core of it, the lab leak narrative and even the fact that Faust and co. were illegally funding deadly research with a foreign power really doesn’t matter in the end.
What matters is what the powers that be have used and will use the “virus” for. The New Normal is Year Zero for a brutal system of control.
Yes I agree with you there, NO.
You bet. I had a FB account for 13 years and out of the blue they threw me off the platform the other day. No way to get back in unless I ‘prove’ who I am. Screw that.
MaryQueen,
Losing FB is no great loss. I stopped watching the nightly network lies too. It’s been great. I take the dog out for more walks and have been reading actual literature with plots. It is all good.
I agree, thanks. The only thing that bothers me is that for years, I didn’t use it politically, it was for family and friends mostly, and there are so many photos and videos, so, memories. But other than that – they can shove it.
I don’t want to be part of their sick silicon valley spying machine.
The Romanized Britons, out of fear of the wild northern Celts and Irish Celts, invited better warriors in from Germany to protect them, the Saxons – who proceeded to conquer them.
Similarly, in fear of the natural (perhaps) spike protein of covid, people injected themselves with more efficient and dangerous spike proteins to take care of the natural ones – which then proceed to savage their entire bodies.
That is an interesting analogy, Yoho.
OG
Are the social media despots answering to the Deep State or to the same globalist masters as the Deep State?
I never use the term Deep State, JAZ. Americans have a Really Bad habit of thinking everything is all about them when they are Really only 4.3% of Earth.
Our dear Queen Lizard and The House of Rothschild are at the Pyramid Capstone.
Ultimately, they all work for Satan.
It’s a Big Club and you ain’t in it.
Agreed! The Deep State however is American and is the group in Washington, DC that believes that the American people work for them instead of vice versa.
Why? Easy, to protect their jobs, starting with the elected ones.
So they great question is, how do you disempower the organization with all the power?
At huge risk.
Speaking of unrequited power, how has your fella Trudeau been doing lately? BTW, is the G7 the current version of SPECTRE?
Hey JAZ, I Really don’t follow Cdn politics. Scumbags but Minor League scumbags. I saw a headline today that Teudeau will continue with the border closings but I’m sure that he’s Just following orders like everyone else.
I am unfamiliar with SPECTRE so have no thoughts. Sorry.
Tongue in cheek. SPECTRE was the international enemy to James Bond and MI6.
Ya. Bond & Star Wars … there are many cultural touchstones that I never participated in.
I thought Wookies were ridiculous and for kids when I was 12.
I never used to think this, but it has come to seem to me that life in this world is perhaps primarily a “battlefield” experience of an ongoing war between good and evil–fought with both the exterior world and within ourselves.
I’m not sure what I thought before, probably due to not thinking much about it. But it was something along the lines of assuming that people were generally well meaning, and their lack of well doing was because of ignorance, habit, confusion, weakness of character, and fear.
And I don’t really doubt that many people (including myself) would do quite a bit better if they had received religious training that emphasized the dignity and glory of the human experience (“a little less than the angels”–I’d say greater, myself), an awareness of which would necessarily restrain a person from certain of the coarsest degradations, as enumerated: no lying, cheating, stealing, killing, and so forth.
The degradation of the sexuality of women is a case in point. You are Creatrix, the Divine Mother; you are Mary most Holy–in the microcosm. Will you submit to being treated as less and behaving as if you were less?
This of course goes for everything.
Seems like someone should have taught people this–instead of the opposite. The opposite being that we are mere animals, or cattle, or complex machinery, and that our doings are of little account, except perhaps in terms of appetites satisfied (or not) and our economic utility to our owners.
Seems like we should have been taught to further our awareness of our dignity and glory through prayer, meditation, the regular examination of conscience, and–yes–confession and Holy Communion.
I see religious and churchgoing people all the time who, despite many good qualities and much good-doing, blithely go around lying to and undermining family members, or treating them abusively in other ways. Seems like regular examination of conscience would help, along with the expectation of admitting it out loud, in the form of formal confession.
But to come back to my original point, the battle lines between good and evil seem now to be drawn in a way they never were before. Maybe this is just my impression, or maybe something’s really up.
But to come back to my original point, the battle lines between good and evil seem now to be drawn in a way they never were before. Maybe this is just my impression, or maybe something’s really up.
All will be revealed.
When atheistic secularists rule a society, people are no longer the children of God Most High, but walking bags of protoplasm. They are to be managed and exploited; they have no inherent rights from their Creator (seen as a myth).
And that defines the battle between good and evil IMHO.

Fantastic article, and video:
https://celiafarber.substack.com/p/if-we-only-have-love
The second speaker in the video talks about how his career was immediately destroyed and threats and attacks came the second he talked about the heart swelling (myocaraditis) subject.
Likewise, Dr. Tenpenny is being smeared, attacked by the usual WEF agents:
“Jimmy Kimmel, Fox News, Washington Post, Good Morning America, CNN, Anderson Cooper…..a coordinated media hit on Dr. Tenpenny. Lift her up in prayer? She’s been an absolute warrior, she did 450 interviews in the first year since you heard the word “covid,” and she’s identified 20 different mechanisms of injury of the jab, she’s amassed a database of 16,000+ studies they moved, hid, or unpublished, documenting the harm, the autism, the deaths, the SIDS, the racism, all of it. And now The Machine is coming after her. They don’t interview her anywhere; she’d embarrass them; they just show her photo and gaslight her.”
What does she say about the nasal injuries caused by the pcr test?
I believe she is in the camp where it causes damage, even to the brain, but I’m not 100% sure. I know she’s against it.
Did all you vaccine lovers see this news? Does it fill you with confidence that all distributed vaccines are safe?
By the way, you ad hominem source attackers, this is from NBC, one of your own beloved MSM sources of information.
***********************************************************************
“The Food and Drug Administration has told Johnson & Johnson to discard about 60 million doses of its Covid-19 vaccine that were produced at a troubled plant in Baltimore, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The doses in question were produced at the Emergent BioSolutions plant in Baltimore. The facility threw away ingredients for 15 million doses in late April because of contamination with materials from the AstraZeneca vaccine, which was also manufactured at the plant.”

hmuller,
What I find troublesome, is that with the various vaccines, using various methods of manufacture, usage, dosage, and invitro methodology, that no one has rated them as to effectiveness…they all work equally well?
(snort).
If some work better than others, then why are the marginal products still being employed?
I would suggest that the only thing equal amongst the various vaccines is…their legal immunity.
And what of the bizarre Reality that China developed 1 vax for its own domestic population but a completely different 2nd vax for export to 3rd-World countries?
“Riddle me that, Batman!”
Because when you deploy a bio weapon surreptitiously you ensure that you have a vaccine on hand for your own people. Others not so much…
That’s Good Police work. There is a thought where the theory explains the motives for the known facts.
Trean OG
I do not know much about the genetic formulation of the mRNA.
Is it precise enough that a genetic variance could be included that would make it more effective for Asian folks. It sure seems as though the Asian countries have been much less affected by Covid.
Even scarier thought is that the virus intensification programs may have made it more effective against everyone but Asians.
And it escaped.
EF
Huge demand. Limited supply
Everyone is on board.
I wonder, how many manufacturers do the flu, or shingles shots?
Why am I not surprised? Yet another aspect of this whole thing: Who knows how safely the jabs are made? And the conditions? I saw who was making the masks. Kids in 3d world setups on dirty floors. The PCR ‘tests’ as well.
Or how the jabs are given? Remember at the beginning, we were being meted out PPE, masks, ventilators by guess who, China, our best friend. Trump had to use defense powers to get US companies to make the stuff. Bad Orange, my foot.
Bayern’s Zipser successfully operated for brain hemorrhage
Bayern Munich forward Paul Zipser underwent a successful surgery for brain hemorrhage Wednesday (9/6), per Sport 1.
Zipser complained to be dizzy near the end of the German League semifinal series against MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg. His neurological examinations revealed a spontaneous brain hemorrhage that required emergency operation.

I agree with Mary: we will be seeing more and more people of varying degrees of fame dropping of previously rare maladies.
Eric Clapton survived, One of the Bee Gees nieces died,
I dont know of others, anyone have names to add?
A BBC reporter, a CNN reporter, Hank Aaron, DMX (rapper), Marvin Hagler, and then I saw 1000s of other unfamous people, of all ages, who died, mostly of the blood clots.
Right. The vast majority of people are not famous (by definition, Andy Warhol’s claim notwithstanding).
How many people are famous? 1 in 10,000? If so, statistically every celebrity drop will represent 10k dead.
Good point.
Eric Clapton survived, – malth
==========
Survived what?
A Google search told me that a couple of years ago he had a lot of pain from something called peripheral neuropathy. Is that what you’re referring to?
He had horrible reactions to the jabs.
His hands felt like two balloons.
He was unsure if he’d be able to play guitar ever again.
He had horrible reactions to the jabs. – MaryQ
His hands felt like two balloons. – OGH
===========
That’s odd, my Google search didn’t have any mention of this.
It was in the news we read which is not the MSM.
Mainstream media will NOT report adverse reactions to the vaxx.
If they do, it’s local news… and it quickly gets reeled in.
Q, I typed ‘eric clapton’ into Goggle. ‘vaccine’ was the top-most autofill. That yields this:

Note: I nicked My hand felt like two balloons from the Floyd’s Comfortably Numb – it is not a Clapton quote of his concerns about his hands and feet after being jabbed.
Eric Clapton’s Anti-Vaccine Diatribe Blames ‘Propaganda’ for ‘Disastrous’ Experience
Hall of Famer, who also appeared on Van Morrison’s single in December, expressed opinions to anti-lockdown activist
Eric Clapton detailed his “disastrous” health experience after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine and blamed “the propaganda” for overstating the safety of the vaccine in a letter the guitarist shared with an architect/anti-lockdown activist.
Clapton previously shared his thoughts on the Covid-19 shutdown when he appeared on Van Morrison’s anti-lockdown song “Stand and Deliver” in December 2020; two months later, in February, Clapton received his first of two AstraZeneca vaccinations, he wrote in his letter to Robin Monotti, who shared the letter on his Telegram with the guitarist’s permission. (Rolling Stone has confirmed the authenticity of the letter. A rep for Clapton did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)

WTF, and the danish player collapsed of a heart thingy
Heidi ferrer, a hollywood writer, contracted covid last summer, had several months of bad symptoms. By late august she was finally recovering.
https://www.health.com/condition/infectious-diseases/coronavirus/heidi-ferrer-long-haul-covid-suicide
However, in recent months, she had a horrific recurrence of all the worst symptoms… And she’s comitted suicide.
Who wants to bet her symptom-recurrence in recent months was NOT from the vaccine?
Not me.
Or she had sepsis, which takes months to die from, like that stage actor that lost limbs and took 90 days to die. That’s a blood infection. Not a flu virus.
Very sad news.
But.
She said she was never diagnosed with covid-19.
She apparently received no treatment for her symptoms.
Did any physician actually diagnose the symptoms she had?
Do some tests?
Of course, large portions of the medical infrastructure were shut down and people were being told to just stay at home.
Severe pain is extremely debilitating and depressing.
To me this looks like a death that maybe could have been avoided with early diagnosis and treatment by an experienced physician.
If it was covid-19, then a number of physicians, e.g., Dr. Peter McCullough, have stated that *early treatment* in their experience heads off “long covid.”
Agree totally. It’s just being used/hyped by the MSM to keep fear over Covid19 alive.
MaryQueen: Sepsis take months to die from? I did not know that. I thought it was pretty quick, or “at any moment”.
Lovely receptionist from my husband’s work got sepsis from a perforated bowel.
She was dead before they got her to hospital.
No, it is usually a slog. Look up the guy who lost some limbs and part of his face but miraculously survived. Sepsis is the scariest shit (IMHO).
Patty Duke took a few months to die from it, and so did my friend, Connie Bryson. She got it in December and lasted ’til March. It was a battle the entire time, she never left the hospital.
The “No” was that it is not instant in many cases. in the case of the guy who lost part of his face and limbs, he got sick but didn’t act on it for 3 days and by then he was in horrible shape.
Thank you MaryQ and GreenAlba, I appreciate your replies.
So it can be immediate, or it can take weeks or months with patient hospitalized.
Awful either way.
From what I can tell, it is one of the very worst ways to die.
That’s why I am a bit obsessed with it, and have done a lot of studying.
Hospitals cause a lot of the cases. So I’m afraid of hospitals. They created superbugs when they started over-using hand sanitizer.
Vaccine is poison.
https://corona-ausschuss.de
Old Man Biden now bragging about 300M shots given out so far. Even in the post-reality world we live in today, that’s a lot of shots for a land of ~330M or so where a goodly amount of renegades such as myself have refused the Magical Poison Prick. Perhaps they’re manufacturing them digitally now like the Fed’s Funny Bux and depositing them in corporate accounts to pad the books. Vaxx inflation just follows CV19 death count inflation I guess, all fabricated from thin air, which seems entirely appropriate in a land so completely virtually fucked up such as ours, all of which matches our virtual freedoms inflation as well. We the People hold these virtual truths to be virtually self-evident… and all that.
Biden/What’s Her Face: Truth – It’s whatever you want it to be! Humorous anecdote: They begged Burger King to let them use the old “Have it Your Way” jingle, but they demanded payment in yuan and the banks refused to convert worthless Funny Bux.
I don’t give much weight to Bedpan Joe’s brags, whether it’s the number of Covid shots or how many push-ups he can do.
agree with humuller, Jo Jo Magoo doesn’t know what he’s slurring about. He reads a teleprompter (and wanders off that no doubt much to his handlers’ chagrin).
If we are at 50% that might be close, if everyone got both jabs but a lot did not.
But I view such ridiculous statements by Biden in a positive light.
TPTB can say 80% or 90% of the population is vaccinated, we have achieved herd immunity and can now resume normal life.
In fact it may be 30% or fewer. But let them get away with their face saving lie if it means the end to all this Covid nonsense – the masks, the lock-downs, the social distancing, etc
Remember the asymptomatic and presymptomatic folks?
Just supposing:
A majority, not just the new cases, of the population got the crud during its three runs, and most never even knew it. IOW, it was even much less of a pandemic than a cold (thank you, MQ).
And what if the up to 50% of folks, the percentage I heard, got at least one jab.
Add the two. 70 to 90% of folks may have immunity to the crud.
No wonder it just tailed off.
We will see, if no further surges, Covid is gone.
This time, why don’t we take a stab at curing viruses instead of vaccines? Get rid of the suckers.
If only.
But now they want to do the vaccine apartheid, and vax passes.
Yep. That is the biggest issue. The Vaxx IDs. They are creating the infrastructure, because they plan to use it for everything, as they have already told us in their papers.
Amazing how many people are entirely unaware of what is going on.
They just rolled them out here in Europe. Temp keeps rising in the pot.
OK so if you have to have a vaxx pass to fly, how would you even leave Germany if you wanted to?
To fly one can also have a negative test or proof of “recovery.”
They are crowing about how free it is here because they still allow us proles to drive ourselves to a testing site 48 hours before we want to do anything interesting.
Travelling across any border here also has the same requirements.
If we leave, it will be before the pass is mandatory. There are no questions about where things are going. They don’t roll out infrastructure like this for all member states if they don’t intend to use it.
What they are doing right now is making things as annoying as possible for the Great Unvaxxed. Once the approx. 80 percent tipping point is hit, I have no doubt the pass will be mandatory.
Given the Pfizer and Moderna are two shots, that would be around 115 million vaxxed, give or take. Some of the shots will be the J&J.
US population is 332 million, so at this point, a little over a third of the populace have gotten their shots.
Got a long ways to go to get to 70%.
“Coincidentally, the Democratic Party has just now engineered two separate-but-equal Independence Days for America: Juneteenth, for People of Color, and the familiar old Fourth of July for everybody else.”
Priceless.
Has anyone checked the fine print on the “Juneteenth” holiday declaration? All police to stand down; shoplifting, drug dealing, rioting, assault and battery, and murder likely okay. Granted, in many cities like Chicago and Atlanta you wouldn’t need such fine print. But such fine print would ensure we were all on the same page.
To understand this violence, with a criminal democratic Governor in charge of California, Gavin Newsom, who is supported by an equally criminal democratic party political class in the states capitol, Sacramento.
If an honest accounting was done with regard to how many American’s have been killed because of democratic party policies in California, the count would easily exceed thousands of people.
Eric Swalwell, democrat, who had a Chinese girlfriend spy roaming around all kinds of government facilities and offices.
You have Diane Feinstein, a senator who had a communist Chinese spy as a Chauffeur.
You’ve got Pelosi, as one of the ruling elite of California, a woman who openly violated her own rules concerning what Californians must do to avoid the corona virus
” fine print on the “Juneteenth” holiday declaration”
Bill,
Reference, please.
I’m reminded of the “Purge” movie series. “In a future dystopian America one day per year is set aside when any crime can be committed with impunity.” Only one day – now that would be an improvement over what we have in major cities..
Did you ever see “Death Race 2000”?
Regarding June 19…let’s make everyday a federal holiday, why not? Federal workers can “retire” in peace and leave the rest of us alone.
What I want to know is how Joe Biden can declare “Juneteenth” a federal holiday w/ no debate from Congress? Where’s the filibuster? I’m pissed. But then, I’m an old fogey and my opinion doesn’t matter, right CFN?
Old fogeys’ opinions have never meant shit to a “forward-looking” America. Why would that change now?
Tom, bad news. I heard that Juneteenth was passed by the Senate unanimously. I do not know what the House did.
So many wokie politicians, terrified they will be cancelled or doxed if they don’t comply.
The first New Normal holiday.
We are in Year Zero.
Imagine how many are in the queue.
The trans already have a whole month I believe.
Women have one day, and the trans took that over.
“Hubbert’s original predictions for world peak oil production proved premature. The rate of discovery of new petroleum deposits peaked worldwide during the 1960s and has not approached these levels since. OPEC predicts the peak will be in 2040 but everyone else predicts an earlier peak.
”
sorry guys you were all wrong about ~peak oil~ as well as the end of the whirled
plus, we only have 3,000+ years’ supply of frozen methane on the oceans’ floors
plus nuclear basically without limit when the time comes
you guys are batting .076 in the predictions department
if oil peaked in 2019, why were oil prices so low in 2020 under mr. trump?
Oil prices collapsed in 2020 because the world shut down. Hundreds of millions of the largest consumers suddenly stopped consuming any. Hence a massive glut and price collapse. One of the weird side effects is that the cost of producing plastics actually rose because the by products from refining that go to the plastics industry suddenly became scarce.
Weird side effects can be fascinating. I remember in the noughties when construction was undergoing a depression, the price of wood chip cat litter went up by about 50%. Not so much sawdust around. (I had a cat then.)
Exactly. In a perfectly Free Market, Price is determined by the intersection of Supply & Demand.
If Heckler is correct and oil production did indeed peak in July 2019, that is no guatantee that it cannot surge yet higher before its inevitable downward trajectory.
We can’t Truly identify the Peak until we are a ways below it.
That is, the Peak may be a little jagged.
Yeah, OG. JHK predicted that when the peak passes it will exhibit a jagged profile.
“Ever since I began eating, more food has consistently been available on my plate. Based on past data, there is absolutely no logical reason why my plate should ever become empty. So far every single one of your empty-plate predictions have been false! Some of you were screaming “empty plate” literally 7 bites ago, you fools.”
Nice
Fracking! Easy loans to fracking companies, low % rates.
C’mon Rube. Did you read JHK TLE? 2100, that is the date his book said that oil was going to fail. Not now.
If anything, the fail will happen sooner than that because we have opened the spigot wider. TLE was written before fracking was practical, even JHK says it changed the forecast.
Unless you have a way to obtain oil that creates it, ie a renewable resource, the end is inevitable. Most forecasts come from EIA data on reserves.
You are right about one thing, nuclear is a big partial solution, if we can convince enough people outside of France that it is. How many bills for funding or construction requests have been submitted for new nuclear plants here? How long does it take to build one, let alone 100 nuclear sites? I think they are retiring more plants than building them.
No solution in sight.
Depopulation is their solution. We all know that.
“if oil peaked in 2019, why were oil prices so low in 2020 under mr. trump?”
I think the theory is that the downward curve is not straight. It will bump up and down as the price of oil toggles between being too expensive for economies to afford without pain and too cheap for producers to be able to invest.
Scotland is a little screwed since this effect started to take place in the North Sea.
Re 3000 years of methane, ocean clathrates might be best left exactly where they are, for at least two reasons (I’m not starting a sub-thread, so won’t list them).
They explode, don’t they, when exposed to oxygen?
The NAACP, The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was founded in 1909 by certain people concerned with the challenges facing African Americans and this organization has seen fit to keep their Association’s name unchanged ever since.
But today JHK wrote that “the Democratic Party has just now engineered two separate-but-equal Independence Days for America: Juneteenth, for People of Color, and the familiar old Fourth of July for everybody else.”
Now I ask you, would not all hell have broken loose if Jim had used the term Colored People?
Yes, the Blacks aren’t overthrowing us on their own. Just as they didn’t in South Africa. Or end Australia as a White Nation either.
Yes, only 13%.
I keep asking wokie people why ‘colored people’ is taboo but ‘people of color’ is now the choice descriptor.

I have asked this question too and I have gotten answers but they always reminded me of that stand-up comic, Professor Irwin Corey, “The World’s Foremost Authority” where he speaks with a tone of authority that for a moment sounds intelligent but then rapidly degenerates into a hilarious nonsensical word salad of gibberish.
Warning: COVID Vaccine ‘Spike Protein Shedding’ Damages Placenta, ‘We Are Being Experimented On’
“Concern started when we saw that individuals who were not vaccinated, who were around vaccinated individuals started having abnormal bleeding. Their periods would be disrupted, or they had a passage of large clots or heavy bleeding or pre-term deliveries, miscarriages even,” Dr. Shelley Cole, a board-certified OBGYN and Medical Director for America’s Front Line Doctors explained in an exclusive interview with The Gateway Pundit.
Thousands of women have reported disrupted menstrual cycles, hemorrhaging, miscarriages and stillbirth after receiving injections of the vaccines.
The alarming side effects are attributed to receptors in the contagious spike proteins that attach to the placenta and uterus and “cross the blood, brain barrier within 15 minutes of the vaccine injection,” Cole explains.

Doesn’t sound like any kind of mistake to me. They go where they are meant to go.
Check THIS out. Blood cells before and after the jab:
Friend comment: ” I’ve seen blood in dark field microscopy. Never seen cells that look like this. ”
https://www.bitchute.com/video/qRUuSThq6RRv/
One of the comments hit the jackpot: What about the blood banks? I hadn’t even thought about that. They won’t want our blood and we sure as hell don’t want theirs.
Better donate your own, and have it banked. If one can do that.
MaryQueen, I recall that at the height of the AIDS panic (mid-1980s) some bikers’ clubs were organizing their own “blood banks” for any riders who might crash and need them.
Don’t know what eventuallly happened to that program but it revealed the mistrust of the public in the safety of the big blood banks.
It would be interesting to follow the data on this subject for the next 20 years or so…
can someone tell me if this is correct? Its from Microsoft news,
The two suspects, who were in a Volkswagen station wagon,
were cut off by Aiden’s mother Joanna Cloonan, according to prosecutors.
A few miles later, as Cloonan was attempting to merge over to the 91 Freeway, she passed the defendants and was “still angry about being cutoff and she put up her middle finger at the two as she passed,” prosecutors wrote in a bail motion filed Wednesday.
“She then heard a loud bang to the rear of her vehicle and heard her little boy in the backseat say, ‘Ow,’” prosecutors said
[it states she cut them off then was angry about being cut off???
This is much clearer:

Also mentions that this kind of violence has gone up a whopping 66%.
So glad I left California.

The flight to Red is huge. What happens when , like Arizona, they turn blue? Where do we escape then?
*SIGH* who knows…. now Boise is lousy with Californians.
I don’t know if anybody else is listening, but it sounds to me as if the music has stopped. Time to take a seat – if ya got one.
The flight to Red is huge.
Getting all the Low IQ types in one spot is a good idea, I reckon.
Tekapo,
You have a great need to believe and proclaim that you’re smarter than the people with whom you disagree. You have a rational mind; they don’t, end of story. This is not an endearing trait (even if it were true)
You originally presented yourself as a truth seeker with an open mind. We all know that’s a lie. You’ve learned nothing the whole time you’ve been here. You’re here to practice advocacy whether pro bono or paid.
@hmuller
Or he is just full of shit which is obvious to anyone who chooses to see.
Po
Uh huh.
I guess that is why all the problems are in Blue zones. All those High IQs in the cities, right?
We were talking about drugs, right? High IQs?
Blue states and cities are the highest in crime, homelessness, and increasingly unsustainable to live in, and getting worse. No one can afford to live in the Bay Area anymore, for example, unless they make over 100K. They have the biggest tent cities and human shit on the sidewalk.
I guess those are high IQ policies at work.
I do not believe the China ‘narrative’. Denis Rancourt holds that the Chinese were forced to play along with it in the early weeks, partly because of, ahem, ‘international pressure’ and partly because some of its citizenry (including some of its scientists) have been influenced by all the nonsense. He believes the US is provoking them into a war it will certainly lose since its military is in such poor shape.
As for the ‘manufactured virus’, whoever made it obviously wasted their time and money. A ‘killer’ virus is supposed to make people sick. This one is imaginary.
What if the vax is the weapon, Sean? In that case, the virus was merely a means to an end.
That seems far more likely than they goofed the virus and the vax in over 2,000,000,000 souls is unrelated and benign.
Denis Rancourt holds that the Chinese were forced to play along …
You’re posting Denis Rancourt – seriously?
Ad hominem attack, You can’t do better than that – seriously?.
The Left always appeal to authority even though they believe themselves rebels and independent thinkers.
Yes, seriously. Why not. From memory, you made a similar comment when I referred to that well-known Jewish American climate sceptic whose name escapes me. Tony Heller, I just remembered. (It may have been someone else who did this.)
Rancourt seems well qualified and quite conservative in his approach. I say that because in a recent interview he was cautious about accepting anecdotal evidence of vaccine injury and he maintains that the (undoubted, he concedes) deaths caused by the ‘vaccines’ are statistically insignificant when looking at all-cause mortality. So far, at any rate.
I also do not think Rancourt sees a lab ‘event’ in Wuhan as being all that important. He may, for all I know or can remember, be like Wolfgang Wodarg (surely you have heard of him) in conceding that there may well have been a laboratory accicent or deliberate event (whcih I have come to the opinoin, albeit recnetly, that they are well capable of of) but that, even if it did happen, it was not very important since a dangerous virus would quickly kill its hosts and would die out quickly as a result.
Rancourt does not even think it is important whether ‘Covid19) actually exists as a distinct, identifiable virus. For myself, while I agree with him I still like the idea that it is entirely fictitious because that way it would fit into the template of other health scares, most notably AIDS.
His arguments as to why the disease is nothing to worry about are clear and distinct and well set out and after watching only two or three of his videos I have memorized them reasonably well. I can sit through an hour long video with him and find practically nothing to disagree with, which is quite rare. For example, I listened to an interview with Swedish commentator Lars Bern this morning and, while he made a lot of sense, he made two or three quite serious blunders (about HCQ among other things) which betrayed an imperfect understanding of things. The closest I have come to this with Rancourt is a careless jibe about the Inquisition, which I can forgive as scientists do not usually have a good grasp o history.
Why do you think Rancourt should not be taken seriously?
He also has a very good grasp of geopolitics, a very difficult subject, and his ideas seem to agree well with those of Matthew Johnson, who I think has the best understanding of it of anyone I have come across. I have learnt a great deal from Johnson, who is also expert in philosophy, political science and (I think) theology 9at least Orthodox theology). E Michael Jones too. If you know of anyone better then tell me and I will let you know what I think of him (if I have the time). When I was a history teacher I could (like all teachers) have a good idea of what a pupil’s mark (you say ‘grade’) would be from the very first sentence. Well I have now reached the stage where it is the same with public commentators.
For those wondering, Dr Wodarg was a very early critic of the ‘Covid’ narrative. He was a senior doctor who reached the position of managing his regoin’s (in Germany) response to annual respiratory epidemics and then became involved in politics (as a left winger in the SPD) where he led an official investigation, on behalf of the European Council, of the 2009 swine flu hoax. So he was ideally placed to see through this one. Few people, still, cannot put the events in sequence that have led up to the present catastrophe. They do not want to do it and they are not capable of it either.
Denis is awesome and he has done amazing work all throughout the plandemic.
Jim mentioned the Spike Protein aspect of COVID-19. Here is an article that goes into this topic and should be read by all Americans:
https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-killer-in-the-bloodstream-the-spike-protein/5747572
From the beginning Covid has been a conspiracy against health and life.
Oh dear … I just read the first line, and walk away.
Please keep walking until you come to a nice left-wing site where you’ll feel loved and accepted.
Haha … you don’t handle diversity of opinion very well, I’ve noticed. More of a lock-step kinda guy.
LOL!! Had the same thought.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Po.
First I heard of “Juneteenth” was back in the seventies. I was attending college in Texas at the time. This was a local celebration by blacks in Texas, nowhere else. Now they’ve made it a national holiday. Great. It will cause further division (as if this sad ‘nation’ could be any more divided.) When do the Republicans put their foot down? My prediction is Never. They’re about as useless as a pig saddle.
The People Who Built This Country will never cease their agitation until we are all at each others throats. Can’t wait.
Well, look for bullets to fly and blood to flow at Juneteenth Celebration across the US tomorrow.
Club Members will be ramped up, looking for vengeance about something that ended 155 years ago.
Ramped up and armed to the teeth.
I saw who Republicans are, when they allowed the election to be stolen without doing anything about it.
Americans got fat, lazy and stupid, across the board.
Same with the left. There are just groups of people who don’t buy into the establishment bullshit, but there aren’t enough of us. Yet.
Yes, Mary, complacency.
In the immortal words of the villainous Dean Wormer, “…fat, dumb, and stupid is no way to thru life…”
And yet, most Americans got too busy with too much and stopped minding the store. Some one else will do it. Life was good! We had that luxury.
1946-63: Peak America for most Americans. Never before in history had so many people enjoyed so much material prosperity so quickly. WOW! Technology (TV, Color TV, the moon, better cars, freeways, etc), consumerism and science displaced the generally shared Christian morality (which was not perfect in reality–I concede racial discrimination being the biggest). The baby boomers didn’t know, or think, there are any limits to anything–yet we all know, nothing grows forever….
That’s why Americans in general are woefully ignorant of politics–and I’m speaking of the “blue pill”, the illusory world we inhabit, where politics play out. Life is good; I don’t have time; I’m busy; let some one else mind the store.
Not enough minders now.
The early internet era was peak America for those who wanted to delve into history and find out why things are as they are. Peak bookstore era. Libraries still had books.
Now, every day, the internet is increasingly squeezed and censored. At the same time, misinformation and distortion, from random misfits or deliberately planted (Tekapo comes to mind in this space, not sure which of the two categories he is in), so it’s harder to get to the root truth. Makes me think of 1984….the book.
Getting to truth is even harder for those who lack context–and dumbed down Americans do.
In “Bowling Alone” in 2006-7, by Robert Putnam, he cited studies that a US HIGH SCHOOL graduate in 1948 was more proficient in english, math, history, and basic science than the average college grad 50 years later.
Now, as the tide is going out, and more people are seeing all the jagged rocks they didn’t know about, they make wake up, but they will be more easily duped.
After 1963, again, in the blue pill world, America sowed the seeds of it’s economic undermining by living beyond it’s means–Vietnam and the Great Society. The Vietnam War and the raw reality of racial discrimination, followed by the riots, undermined the public’s trust of institutions.
The 1970s were rocky—but we had a lifeline! In 1981, Volcker squeezed inflation, and Reagan and the Democrats doubled down on borrowing–deficit spending led to a faux veneer of prosperity. Foreigners (Japan, Saudi) bought a lot of that debt.
When the USSR imploded, THAT was the focal point in time. The US could have said, “hooray, let’s dismantle this intrusive, expensive military and use those resources to restore our infrastructure, fix education to try to grow some home-grown brains, instead of importing hungry smart students from Asia, and put our finances in order”
1990 was the inflection point.
America could have declared the Cold War won, come home, and used all those trillions of misallocated resources on defense to fix our infrastructure (roads, bridges, basic R&D for health), support an educational system that would educate, and incentivize/support conventional family units, and pay down our debt.
Didn’t happen. Today, our Dept of Offense is bigger than ever.
But we had a second lifeline. The Chinese government jettisoned Communism and adopted fascism–Deng said something like “profits are beautiful”.
The Chinese in particular, and poor Asia in general started making labor intensive products that were good quality. These imports “saved” American consumers money, while also destroying many manufacturing jobs–that “no one wanted, because we are doing white-collar stuff” (the BS that JHK has called, particularly in FIRE, which adds little real value to society).
As plastic totes and t-shirts got cheaper, the Chinese used the paper dollars they got to buy capital assets (tooling, tech) from the West, so they could make higher-value things, and repeat the cycle. They did. From the early 1990s to about now. NAFTA helped with that also. About 30% of “American” cars are Hecho en Mexico.
Well, now that lifeline is gone. What next life line will carry us, in the blue pill world, going forward? Our epic deficit spending?
In the red pill world, the advance of China and Asia has essentially fast-forwarded the rate of resource use and depletion.
We can only speculate, but many Americans had it pretty good by 1963: heated homes, clean water, HOT water, electricity. The plutocrats drive for MORE wealth for them persuaded America that the city, or the 1100 sf bungalow from 1954 wasn’t good enough–more stuff. We now have suburban sprawl that makes 1990–NINETY, look tidy, with 2500-3500 sf homes, most on what used to be good farmland close to cities. That’s gone.
We have bigger bills than ever, yet the means of servicing those bills and debts are very fragile…. And as almost four decades of mild inflation (it’s always been there, but the lifelines AND the feds’ way of counting concealed it) comes to an end, and we stand at the threshold of what life was like for Italians or Greeks in the 1970s, when prices would go up 10% in a good year, 25% in bad and double ever four-five years or so, the future in the blue pill world is looking kind of shaky.
Klaus and Gates and the Davos crowd know the pie is going to shrink. This ‘great reset’ is a big shell game to conceal the extent of the shrinkage from the hoi polloi, while making sure that the “first among us” get as much as they are used to and more, and we content ourselves with the smaller piece in order to “save the planet”.
And perhaps, to make the smaller piece easier to live with, while they’re at it, maybe, as some of you here contend, quite plausibly, let’s order up a boutique disease or COVID just to thin the herd–after all there is still manual work to be done.
Now, every day, the internet is increasingly squeezed and censored. At the same time, misinformation and distortion, from random misfits or deliberately planted (Tekapo comes to mind in this space, not sure which of the two categories he is in), so it’s harder to get to the root truth. Makes me think of 1984….the book.
Hahaha. Another one who tries to sound contemplative and intellectual, but just another paranoid doom-monger who can’t handle any opposing views. So he goes the typical ad hom path, just like all the others.
Troll! Paid Agent! Clean-Up in Aisle Seven!
You’re all the same – attack the messenger, and never have a decent debate about the meaty issues. Blame Schwab-WEF-Davos-Gates etc – it’s always the bad big daddy path for the easily duped, but it’s a chimera, like religion.
This forum is called “Clusterfuck Nation” for a reason … it is an acknowledgment that humans have taken a pretty good society and wrecked it … the greatest material abundance in the history of the world, and we’re destroying it, burning through our stored resources like they’re limitless – self-inflicted clusterfuckery caused by greed, stupidity, laziness, and the attention span of a gnat.
Have a great day.
Uh oh. Something triggered a meltdown.
Always funny.
I like to think I’m thoughtful. Perhaps I am, perhaps not.
The further away from the event or happening in question, the less sure we can be of the facts. We can watch the news on TV or the internet, and decide.
Even based on that news, there are many disconnects, in my opinion, in the mainstream media. This space is the “marginalized reality”–and our host offers up the red pill.
For example, “Black Lives Matter”. Of course they do–no less than white lives. All lives matter.
And it’s proper for law enforcement to be held to a higher standard, since society has given LE a lot of power–up to and including the use of deadly force.
At the same time, the biggest threat to black lives is violence, which if we believe what we see and hear is perpetrated by overwhelmingly by young black males.
Is that true or not? I have not personally seen any cops shoot an African American, and I have not personally witnessed any African Americans shoot anyone. Does that mean it doesn’t happen?
All I see is that the overwhelming push of the MSM and the government is to say that we “need more training” for police; to ‘defund the police’, for the acts, or perceived acts, of a few police officers. Being a policeman is a very stressful job, especially in a high crime area, especially with unruly suspects…
As for the high number of African American homicide victims–well, the problem is too many guns. NOT the behavior of young black men, but GUNS.
So let’s take away everyone’s guns, and depend on the police for safety. Those most likely to comply with such an edict are those least likely to commit a crime. Is that logical to you?
That’s the narrative–and that does NOT make sense to me–based on what I see, hear, and read.
Perhaps I’m looking at it wrong?
I think a lot of the commentariat here sees other, more complex disconnects, and points them out. The host sure does–thankfully! He’s a trained reporter and a good writer.
Some news accounts note the crime is up. I don’t know–I haven’t noticed that yet in person. Does that mean that crime has not risen?
But I have been a victim of larceny, several times. My family home as a teen, burglarized. My gym locker, broken into–thankfully, the thief was considerate, only took my cash..
The last time in 2015 the perpetrators were caught, proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, I saw how HIGH the bar is set to convict a criminal. And whereas before this incident, I had been (and remain to a significant extent) concerned about cop abuses, like frivolous traffic tickets or excessive use of force, I could not help but admire the patience of these cops to nab these guys; the hours WASTED as they must wait for their turn in court (and they are on the clock, paid by taxes) for some preliminary hearing for the OBVIOUS. As we waited, they said, “you know, these guys are smart. WHy not just use their smarts to get a job?”
The accused were recorded on a security camera during the act of breaking into my car. My brother foolishly left his iphone in the door pocket, where the top was exposed.
The cops had been monitoring these folks for a while. The undercover police LET them break into my car, and steal the phone and my sunglasses (which were out of view in the console, and are prescription–pretty useless). They then followed, chased, and caught the suspects. And then, when we gave them the number of my brother’s phone, on the other end it was…the arresting officer, 5 miles away! Fortunately, the during the car chase, no one was hurt or injured, and I don’t believe the thieves used weapons.
So now, not only do I like at local press reports differently, but I realize it was dumb luck that our stuff was recovered, and absent iron-clad evidence, good luck convicting some one of larceny, at least for small amounts. At the same time, just because the thieves were black, I don’t assume all thieves are black. But the statistics I’ve seen and read seem to show that a disproportionate amount of property/violent crime in the US is caused by African Americans, Latinos, and illegal aliens. Should I dismiss that? At the other end, a disproportionately low amount is caused by Asians it seems.
Tekapo, you like to find small holes in peoples’ arguments and point them out, but seem willing to overlook big disconnects in your arguments.
I’m sure you will find some in my comments, no worries. I’m not a professional writer, or a lawyer. But my comments are closer to reality than yours.
Oh admit it, Tekapo, you love the attention. Haha
As far as “a decent debate about meaty issues”, it always come down to you pontificating about how wrong others are. And they don’t have a “rational mind” like yours. And what they think is paranoid conspiracy theory; while what you think is proven fact. Yadda, yadda, the twisted narcissism is all quite mind numbing.
But if it makes you happy, I’ll call you a “Master Debater”. Or something very similar sounding.
Where is the next lifeline? It’s kind of like the Titanic. There aren’t going to be enough lifeboats, to extend the metaphor. The water is cold, it is death-dealing & the shivering few who will huddle in those lifeboats will be at the beck & call of the remaining powerful nations who will come in & pick up the pieces. They will impose their own rules on the survivors & the lunacy will suddenly end. But we will never be a great nation again. The corrupt elite who are feathering their nests with Chinese money such as the Biden crime family are harbingers of things to come.
Excellent breakdown. This is very much as I see it as well.
I was born in 1963. LOL, 2 months before the JFK assassination. What luck, eh?
I think people my age may be the most confused of all. We had it made as young adults: Plentiful jobs, we could afford to go out every night.
Our parents watched us nervously, as they had lived through the aftermath of the Great Depression. We just went along not worrying about much, until Strike 1 (9/11) when I started questioning things. For 20 years now, that’s what I’ve done. Watch, research, study, and realized we grew up in The Truman Show. As many here have also come to realize (or knew much earlier than me).
Americans have become used to censorship and the erosion of our rights, which is why now if we speak the truth we’re called crazy. You’re correct: It’s straight out of 1984.
Been fun seeing the ny post take over the mantle of real journalism as ny times turns to populist pulp. Post has story about the tide turning against wokeism citing john stewart’s laughing at the natural-origin covid theory on late night and a recent bill maher show pushing back on “defund police” and like messages.
I’m wondering how pendulums might swing next as some of these edifices and dogmas fall apart.
An equally brainless surge of right-leaning practicalism?
Just a more balanced and familiar American confusion?
Will we recognize many of our problems result from giving everyone a voice… too many vocal, dumb voices, and not enough intelligent ones guiding?
Could we somehow turn collectively towards a submission to better informed authorities? Will any real, grounded debates over real macro issues materialize for the first time in probably decades?
To your last 3 questions:
No, no, & no.
lol
There are no real solutions other than maybe euthanasia.
Volunteers?
Not even gonna go where this question leads, out of respect…
28 million baby boomers rise as one to save their country through one final heroic act!
( purely joking)
RG
28 million boomers making the ultra sacrifice.
Two years down the road and the remaining folks will starve. The boomers and their parents were the transition from rural America to today’s mess. As JHK stated, a big problem for the Long Emergency is a loss of skills.
The Post is great, hard copy and online editions.
NY Post is available here in convenience stores, news stands and so on. I’m not sure if its distributed across the country tho.
Been fun seeing the ny post take over the mantle of real journalism …
When a Murdoch rag in any society is the “mantle of real journalism” I expect everyone is in deep trouble.

https://dailystormer.su/the-coward-donald-trump-tells-hannity-he-lost-the-election/
At least Trump was admirable in not accepting the Lie and vowing to never give in. Now he has, throwing his remaining followers under the bus.
When he threw the Jan 6 protesters under the bus, that told me who he was. Coward, and poison jab pusher.
Thanks, Yohannon. Facebook disabled comments on that video, because the woke fascists don’t want people like us expressing an opinion.
To be fair, I wouldn’t call that brief turn of phrase a concession speech.
But, also to be fair, I’ve never considered Trump a rational purveyor of most of his thoughts. Or necessarily the truth. He was always an interesting and intentionally uncouth political figure, who sometimes said the right things when no one else would…but almost always in the wrong way.
ROFL. Anglin for Pulitzer 2026.
Uh, that isn’t what he said.
He said (from the article):
“Shockingly, we were supposed to win easily at 64 million votes, and we got 75 million votes, and we didn’t win. But let’s see what happens on that.”
He is highlighting the fraud.
“Shockingly, we were supposed to win easily at 64 million votes, and we got 75 million votes, and we didn’t win. But let’s see what happens on that.”
No … you win if you collect more votes than your opponent. Who is advising the former guy – perhaps Cyber Ninjas (Florida) Inc.
Now he has [conceded], throwing his remaining followers under the bus.</i
Does anyone think he cares (or has ever cared) in the slightest about his followers? They have been fleeced indeed – he's got their "fighting fund" donation money.
Gays were asked not to donate blood for awhile. Many refused to refrain. Where does it stand now?
You hardly hear about AIDS anymore. Apparently, it served its purpose.
Back burner. Still around, controlled by a slate of drugs.
It was the test-case for Covid19.
My grandmother died from a HIV-infected blood transfusion in the early 1990s – I concede she was 94, but that was the end for her.

Hey, hey hey!
Maybe “the many” have no clue what to do.
I remember that prior to the election, it was bantered about that all the problems are impossible to solve, physically and politically, and that no one in the Dem side had a clue what to do. The only thing they ran on was to oppose what Trump did.
My conclusion stands on the evidence of what has been progressed since Jan. 20.
Nothing!
Did it come equipped with bronze drug paraphernalia?
Not sure. The eminent sculptor probably left that out, along with the cheap 9mm semi auto St. George used to brandish during his armed home invasion adventures.

JAZ, hot where you are, but cool, almost autumn like here. Last nite I had to fire up the woodstove.
Nice!
Only 117 today, 114 tomorrow. It actually has been this hot before in June in the past, I posted a picture of a thermometer showing 120 degrees in the past.
I read JHKs description of what was going to happen in the Southwest in the future in 2005, TLE.
Heat and drought will drive folks out of here is the prediction. If you have been reading the news, you know that our area is running out of water and fast. The Colorado River, Green River complex feeds five states, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada and the big momma, California. There is a compact allowing certain outtakes for each state, with California being the biggest. Cities and Agriculture. All based on a minimum fill in Lake Powell, and Lake Mead. Oops, not happening and getting worse and worse. The drought has been going on for at least ten years from here to Colorado. The main outtake for Arizona is a big canal called the CAP, the Central Arizona Project. That runs from Parker, AZ to Tucson, through Phoenix. Much of the recent growth of Phoenix is dependent on the CAP. The extreme condition of the two reservoirs are threatening the CAP. Also, the water for Las Vegas comes from Mead and their outtake is about to be exposed by the falling water level. They are currently boring a new outtake lower. Southern California will be nothing short of a disaster if they lose water of any consequence. And all this area supplies produce and other products for the country, so this affects everybody. Phoenix growth will probably slow and even the Aggie area between here and Tucson will be clobbered if the drought goes on much longer.
The way it works is Arizona gets most of its water during winter and during monsoon season. Seven inches a year. The last two years have had very little rain in either time frame. Monsoon season is July through August and some of September. Big thunder boomers in the late afternoons. If it does not happen this year, number three, we are in deep kaka.
Even if Arizona gets its Monsoon, it does not help the drought, only ameliorates it locally. The real source of water are the snows of Colorado and Utah accumulating in Powell and Mead. Not for a long time. Right now, none of the five states are getting much moisture year to year and it is reaching criticality. It should be a major, major issue for DC and I will bet nothing is being even discussed.
JHK figured that the SW would be the first exit area in the Long Emergency and his prediction is right on unless someone figures out how to make it rain or snow a huge amount and quickly.
Whew, it is hot out there.
Excellent overview, JAZ.
The drought is why I finally exited CA.
It is on the brink of disaster. Not just the water, but the totalitarian bullshit and the fires… it’s a mess.
Someone compared what’s happening to the entire west to the Dust Bowl. Talk about irony. I read a great book about the DUst Bowl (The Worst Hard Time) and it blew my mind. Something they don’t teach in history classes, that’s for sure, and the biggest man-made disaster in US history!
Looks like they made similar mistakes in trying to change desert to farmland in the west.
Mother nature bats last!
Just a comment, irony wise.
The Grapes of Wrath followed a family of sharecroppers forced off their land during the Dust Bowl by the advent of large scale farming with tractors. They went to California and had a really bad time. Steinbeck ended the book with the family having no future.
Now, where are the folks like you going, to get out of that overgrazed, over taxed, overpopulated, underwatered disaster area.
No wait, I forgot, the Dems are going to give everyone UBI.
Never mind!
Yes, the only famous historical novel I know written about it. Stunning. The book I mentioned is really worth a read. I found it beyond fascinating. It follows the histories of some of the people who were in the thick of it. Great read.
The gov’t didn’t want to do anything but eventually they were forced.
What’s going to happen in the west promises to make the Dust Bowl look like small potatoes.
… the water for Las Vegas comes from Mead and their outtake is about to be exposed by the falling water level. They are currently boring a new outtake lower.
Building huge cities in the desert was never a good idea.
I saw Lake Mead and Lake Powell about six times in the 20 years between 1998 and 2018 – the fall in water levels has been dramatic over that time – goodness knows what has happened in the four years since.
And they get naturally shallower anyway – because they silt up.
And for those Americans who live in well-watered areas (essentially all three coasts), it can be hard for them to appreciate how arid parts of the Southwest are.
Is the current drought (and lack of historically regular rain cycles) all down to Global Warming? And does Phoenix have an aquafer that it can “rely” on?
All they need to do is run pipelines from the great lakes to the other side of the country.
End of problem.
They can do it with oil and water is far easier to transport.
Benr
It has been proposed! Western states have asked for piped water from the Great Lakes states. The response was a resounding NO!
Also, the Great Lakes are at historic lows.
Yes, the aquifer is refreshed by the CAP. Nuff said
South of Phoenix, the ground is filled with giant cracks. The cause, settling cause by the decline in the aquifer.
A big lesson here, Leftists and Rightists.
You cannot keep pumping out a limited resource without Peak ____ happening. It all has deadly consequences.
Water, oil, food, arable land, common sense, houses, police protection, personal space for a start.
How many volunteers for the euthanasia line so far?
Another Lake Mead story from The Hill
Another consideration is that a lot of the produce in grocery stores comes out of the west coast growing regions: central CA for six months, and the Yuma AZ region for the cooler six months of the year.
We will see the return of more seasonal produce consumption with the use of canned goods in the winter soon enough. No more watermelon in January for us.
Know what the number one crop of Arizona is?
Lettuce!
Sam Kinison called it years ago. You can’t live in a desert.

Las Vegas Sunday was 84.2° – 114.8°, and was still 100.4° at 10:30 pm. That is all very uncomfortable, unimaginably so if it sustains for a period.
The Chinese are after power. They want personal glory. They want collective aggrandizement. They want the American King at the doorstep of the Chinese Emperor waiting to pay obeisance, rehearsing words of respect.
The Chinese want polished and mannered Chinese specialists in the intricate protocol of the Imperial Court, tugging at the leash of the foreign visitor, leading him or her and the following train of American officials and reporters who will soon witness the abasement of the formerly powerful America.
And the Chinese want money. The ordinary folk want meat everyday, a reasonable income and a decent shot at life. The rich want more riches.
The Chinese are ambitious in other words. They mean to run the show, they mean to be a global shot-caller, they mean to hobble a rival civilization. Their ambition is to make the US a tributary state and its leader a kneeling subordinate.
So, to the point. No matter that they say they’re investigating, does the Biden administration really want to know? No, they don’t. They already know that American Oligarchs, having relocated American corporate assets to China, now have to do the Chinese leader’s bidding. Either that or lose all those billions and trillions they idiotically put within the grasp of those men in Beijing and the massive armies and police forces that those men command.
And it’s those same American Oligarchs that call the shots in the US with the active complicity of American politicians and the American Deep State. And everyone knows, that having sold out the USA and the West for the sake of corporate profits, America is in no position to give orders. The Oligarchs will tell Joe to not rock the boat. America is too weak, America may have a huge military but it no longer has the productive capacity to fight a power like China. People with an eyeball and a braincell know because such people can see that America is economically eviscerated, hollowed out. Collapse isn’t coming, collapse is here, collapse having already happened to a large swathe of the country.
There is no chance the Biden administration will conduct an honest inquiry. Just as they did with Hillary, they will manage to not see mountains of malfeasance, just as they’re doing now with the 2020 election. They will make shit up, they will lie like hell, they will blow billows of distractionary smoke, they will issue fogbanks of disinformation.
They will talk about “science” as if actual science matters. They will use words like “facts” and “evidence”. And they will bury facts. A lack of evidence they’ll say. And, in the end, they will conclude that there is no conclusion to be drawn.
The problem is that there’s too many of us that can see and think and have minds of our own. Where did the Wuhan flu come from? You tell me. What do your eyeballs tell you?
Excellent comment.
We didn’t even need a Wuhan flu for this to come about. Just the marketing of a Wuhan flu.
Sure, just the marketing of the wuhan flu or some other crisis. Like a terror attack. The handful of people at the tip of the pyramid want control. They want compliant people willing to be told what to think, what to do, living on a miniscule income, happy with next to nothing, no family, no belongings, no nothing. .
The problem with a proposed subversion of America by China is that to most Americans the concept is, well, boring…and unrelatable.
The Russians…now for some reason we could get behind being eternally against them, back in the 50’s-80’s…an interesting and understandable foe. (though the recent attempts at resurrecting that fear have been laughably weak and predictable, like something out of Dan Brown’s worst book that was never even published).
Not so sure most have the same interest in caring about what China might be planning. It’s strange.
But I must admit, I’m not as interested in renting that movie either.
That’s probably not a good thing.
Maybe that’s what makes China the perfect foe? Even if we decide they did “do it” , we just can’t get riled enough to blow up the world. I don’t think anybody wants a real nuclear war – just the apparent threat of one.
China will be the new boss, cursed by disgruntled deplorables in unheated cabins. Overhead he old boss will still soar over the world in personal jets.

Just an observation in Denver particularly. Housing prices skyrocketing as few single family homes being built. Apartment buildings are blooming all over the place.
Apartments are the future for the US instead of Single family? The ramifications are enormous.
We will look like old pictures of the Soviet Union.
The disgusting part is that our illustrious PTB thinks this is the proper direction. Uh-huh.
Ok, so they got it wrong in the USSR – but we’ll get it right this time.
Rural living is so inefficient. All those electric lines and roads always needing to be fixed. All those cars and trucks suffocating trees and melting polar bears. Who needs 10 acres on a dirt road when you can live in a pod surrounded by pods filled with people you’ve never met who don’t speak your language?
Free cable!
Just an observation in Denver particularly. Housing prices skyrocketing as few single family homes being built. Apartment buildings are blooming all over the place.
JHK has talked of US suburban sprawl being the great misallocation of resources in history, and while I overwhelmingly agree with that, and the resultant car dependence and spiritually bereft communities, the fact is that a lot of people want their block of dirt, and are prepared to put up with tacky plastic houses, very long commutes, and high land prices.
However apartments – if well designed and built, and ten floors or less – are much more energy efficient per person than individual houses, and moderately higher densities generally mean many more resources and facilities are within reasonable distance.
Apartment-based neighborhoods do not have to look like projects in Newark, or some grim Soviet era new city.
I haven’t been to Denver for 15 years, so I can’t comment on how it’s changed – for better or worse.
Not so sure most have the same interest in caring about what China might be planning. It’s strange. But I must admit, I’m not as interested in renting that movie either.
I think they might be a few reasons, including racial/ethnic difference, lack of deep knowledge of them (“inscrutable”, etc), and history too.
Americans “knew” the Russkis – and there long history of large-scale military sacrifice and success, from well before Napoleon and WWII.
The Chinese OTOH have almost no “recent” military tradition outside a few lesser skirmishes versus Korea, Pakistan, India, and Vietnam. And the Japanese had a big piece of them in the 1930s and 1940s.
So they have never entered the popular psyche as a big military power in a traditional Western sense, despite the size of the PLA.
But really, while people have been able to fill their carts at Walmart or Home Depot, China looked like a big honey pot, and who cares much about slave-labor in sweatshops?
I don’t see China as a military threat with the aim of dominating America – the US is their biggest trading partner and also their biggest debtor. I can’t see how they benefit from the collapse of the US dollar. Who is going to buy all their output, and what about those trillions in US paper they hold?
And they know the US can turn Beijing and Shanghai into ashtrays pretty easily if they cross a line – even without nukes.
They will talk about “science” as if actual science matters. They will use words like “facts” and “evidence”. And they will bury facts. A lack of evidence they’ll say. And, in the end, they will conclude that there is no conclusion to be drawn.
The problem is that there’s too many of us that can see and think and have minds of our own. Where did the Wuhan flu come from? You tell me. What do your eyeballs tell you?
It seems to me there are some good questions to ask::
1. Did the virus escape from the lab (probably via infected workers)?
2. Did they become infected via gain-of-function genetic research?
3. Did the gain-of-function research to create a human virus involve US funding?
4. The big one – is there any evidence of deliberate release?
I’m a bit less sceptical about deliberate running-dead on the “investigation”, not because there aren’t political issues and palace intrigue involved, but rather – if there isn’t Chinese co-operation – what can the US authorities discover?
Unless there are communications between the lab and the US, advising of (a) “success” in creating a human pathogen, and (b) oh-oh – it’s escaped.
Well-written piece, volodya, even if I disagree with parts.
Just an add on, V.
One of the main avenues into the US for all those Chinese oligarchs are the Mexican Cartels through the souther border. Just another example of the Biden mob’s affiliation with China. Ding dong Harris will not even acknowledge the problem, and Biden probably forgot about it.
A potential prognosis for the US as you say may be a vassal state.
Curious. At the top of the JHK page (scroll up), it says at the far left, “Hone” instead of “Home.”
Green Alba, don’t tell me this is correct in this context.
Why would I tell you anything about someone else’s website?
I clicked on it. It looks kinda home-y.
I’m going to bed untroubled.
you have sharp eyes.
Honed, even.
Dr. Fauci was plugging the expensive “Remdesivir” that doesn’t work. Fauci was knowingly telling the doctors to give sick patients a drug that doesn’t work because it is profitable for the drug companies that Fauci owns stock in. The doctors who are afraid of losing their medical licenses just toe the Party line and never question anything. Why anyone in their right mind would trust these assholes is amazing?
Thinking in America now is just about reaching a conclusion that always fits into the approved official narrative. That is so embarrassing. How can people live like that? It’s like a deranged Cult…. Mind Control….
They are mind controlled, 100%. When you are at the point where you will shoot poison into your own child and torture them with masking, then your mind is gone.
Also, the PCR test is very suspect if run above 30 amplification cycles which produces a very high percentage of false positives. And it only looks for pieces of the Covid 19 virus which contains various pieces of other common coronaviruses. Finally, the PCR test does not distinguish between live and dead pieces of viruses. The pandemic numbers are all based on the false premise of the highly dubious faulty PRC test.
Doctor Joseph Mercola and 2 more
The Truth About COVID-19: Exposing The Great Reset, Lockdowns, Vaccine Passports, and the New Normal
Even though Dr. Mercola is basing his opinion on valid science and also the directives of the man who invented the PCR test, we are told it’s still ‘tinfoil hat’ to post it… according to the morons who still live in The Truman Show.
From Tom Woods, a voice of sanity since day 1 of the plandemic hoax:
“A lot of people are finding themselves facing moral dilemmas at work, in connection with COVID-19 vaccination.
What’s interesting here is that even the often confused director of the CDC, Rochelle Walensky, put it this way to a concerned vaccinated person: since you are protected by the vaccine, you needn’t worry about the unvaccinated.
That point doesn’t seem to have trickled down to every workplace, to put it mildly.
Most recently, I’ve been reading about the new protocols inside the NFL.
Here’s a summary by columnist Judy Battista:
Fully vaccinated players will no longer have to be tested daily, will not have to wear masks at team facilities, will not be subject to quarantine after exposure to a COVID-positive individual, will have no travel restrictions, may eat in the team cafeteria and use the sauna and steam room. They also will not be subject to capacity limits in the weight room and will be allowed to interact with vaccinated family and friends during travel.
Unvaccinated players will still have to be tested daily, must wear a mask at team facilities, are still subject to physical distancing, will have to quarantine after exposure, will have travel restrictions and will not be able to interact with family and friends during travel, and cannot eat in the cafeteria or use the sauna and steam room. They will be subject to capacity limits in the weight room, too.
So unvaccinated players will be subject to the same pointless rules that accomplished pretty much nothing over the past 15 months.
But of all these absurd restrictions, the toughest to deal with is that unvaccinated players would still be subject to quarantine, thereby causing them to miss practice or playing time. As Battista puts it, “For players — especially those battling for jobs — availability is critical.”
Now:
Remember the awful commencement address you had to sit through in high school or college, in which you were told that you can make a difference?
One person can make a difference, we were told.
Here we truly are faced with a case in which one or a handful of people can actually accomplish something. If even a few of the league’s top players said they would refuse to play unless these crazy rules were lifted, they’d get lifted.
The question is: do we have even a few people with the guts to do it?
Time will tell.
Most people wind up going with the flow, as 2020 made abundantly clear.
You, dear reader, aren’t most people.
Sometimes it’s hard not being most people. It can involve sacrifice, loss, and ostracism. It can be exhausting.
I am happy to report that the Tom Woods Show Elite, my private group, consists of precisely such people: amiable, intelligent, engaging — but immovable in their principles.
All of us in there are friends you haven’t met yet.
Need some normal friends right around now?

Physical distancing is going to work out great for unvaccinated running backs.
LOL, imagine unvaccinated quarterbacks. Who’s gonna pile on?
At least hockey will probably stay the same…
Ha!
And baseball. So MUCH social distancing.
The Montreal Canadiens were without their Head Coach, Dominique Ducharme, for Game 3 of their Stamley Cup Semi-Final series against the Vegas Golden Knights this evening.
Despite receiving his second vax shot a coule of weeks ago, Ducharme tested positive for the COVIDs.
The Habs defeated the Knights 3-2 in overtime and now lead the Best-of-7 series 2-1.
This is the closest that the Montreal Canadiens have been to the Stanley Cup Final since their last Cup triumph in 1993 against Wayne Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings.
A colleague in NYC writes that it has been 609 days since you could go to a Yankees game with no test and no mask.
A lot of “no-vax bravado” proclaimed on comments at this and similar sites comes from the folks capable of warming up the chair 24/7
(based on frequency of posts) due, either to retirement (mostly) or independent source of income.
Disclaimer: not a critic, just a fact.
Sorry, 40 hour a week (sometimes more) working stiff here. So far indications are my employer will not mandate the shots, but time will tell.
We are a hot spot for the so called delta variant with over 100 hospitalized and 49 in ICU. Officials say they are younger and mostly unvaccinated, but no specific breakdowns of ages and shot status offered. Sadly, the health officials have BS’d and exaggerated so much the past 18 months, I take their pronouncements now with a grain of salt. Guess lots of folks locally feel the same. The vaxxed percentage continues to slowly creep up by a few tenths of a percent daily despite the official begging that everyone get shot up. Doesn’t look like we will hit 50% vaxxed rate by July.
It is actually a bit surreal. Given the new “cases” (at PCR tests run at 38 cycles) plus hospitalizations, we should be back to mandatory masking, restrictions on indoor gatherings, and 50% max occupancy for retail and restaurants. Not one word has been uttered by the health poobahs about doing this.
I fully expect to see my county on the national news soon, as the media muppets tsk tsk over us dumb hillbillies and the coastal elite hope we will all just hurry up and die already.
I will continue taking the vitamins D3, K2, and C I’ve taken for years to aid calcium absorption, plus the zinc, quercetin and ivermectin I’ve added this year. Eating lots and lots of veggies, some fruit, and other healthy fodder, and avoiding junk. I do struggle with a fondness for whole wheat crackers, but there are worse things to eat.
You just proved my point in your first paragraph. Your employer is the hero of the story.
Yes, for now. Vaccines are currently strongly recommended only. But for how long? Health department will be pressuring for vaccines, and if the FDA approves the vaxxes, that makes it highly likely courts would uphold employers’ rights to require the shots.
Then there is the company health insurance provider. Employees do have half their premiums paid by the company, a goodly sum. If the insurer says premiums will be lower if the company requires the shots, I would expect them to be required as a cost saving measure.
Starting to feel a bit like being stuck on the railroad tracks and hearing the train coming.
You again proved my point.
What I was trying to say rather bluntly is:
There is no bravery, and there should not been a chest pumping (up to the point is OK), in those who are retired or having an independent income in their rejection of the vax,
Ah—-see what you are saying now. Apologies for being a bit slow on the uptake.
For working people, be they hourly or salaried PMC, I. suspect reports of serious adverse reactions and deaths increasing to the point they can no longer be ignored is the only thing that might stop shot requirements for workplaces and schools. The longer one holds off on the shot, the better the chance of dodging it, as those reports are piling up.
Good luck and hold without vax as much as you can, and if possibly no vax at all..
Time for a chuckle, because losing our sense of humor is the worst thing we can do:
“U.S.—With more and more statues across the country being pulled down, pigeons are being forced to redirect their payloads to different targets.
As soon as statues are pulled down, the pigeons turn toward the nearest available target: angry rioters.
“Yes! Down with racism–AHHHHH!!!!” screamed one rioter just after pulling down a statue of Christopher Columbus. The pigeons immediately turned on him, with a squadron of the birds divebombing him to unload hundreds of pounds worth of excrement. “Run!!!”
Rioters frantically tried to put the statues back up as they were attacked by the feral flocks. “Put Christopher back! Quick!” cried one Antifa group as they were swarmed by a whole fleet of pigeon bombers. But try as they might, their weak liberal arms could not lift the statue and they were forced to flee the scene.”

Tearing down is easier!
Question: “Was it released by accident… or on purpose?”
Answer: Somebody bribed someone at the lab to release it. Or it was imported by foreigners – athletes that attended the 2019 Wuhan tournament known as the 7th CISM Military Games.

“Free at Last” should be the motto of juneteenth – celebrated anywhere and anytime windows are smashed and stuff is liberated. Our homegrown version of Allahu Akbar.
Juneteenth was a quaint holiday enjoyed by blacks especially because it has always been below the radar and could be enjoyed in a folksy manner unlike, say, Christmas. (White-mas, if you prefer.) Now that it is has come into “National Consciousness,” Juneteenth is no longer Juneteenth.
Holy crap, we’ve already culturally appropriated juneteenth from them. How many shoes will I need to shine to get this monkey off my back?
I don’t mean to belabor things, but what the fuck is going on w/ this Junetenth federal holiday? Can the president of the USA just unilaterally declare it so? What’s going on? I’m not agin’ it, mind you. But that’s 2 days of lost mail service in less than a week. Let’s ditch the US Postal Service altogether and deliver mail by Amazon, the ultimate in privitazation.

You asked earlier if you think that Whites should serve in our service now.
I refuted my recommendation to my college aged grandson to use the service after college.
I think each White person of service age needs to decide whether what the US is turning into is worth dying for.
One thing that breaks my heart is watching the veterans that have been ripped apart asking for help. For What?
Our enemies aren’t overseas, they are right here. Join the military to learn combat skills, not job training. Bring those skills home and share them. (That is, if there is still time to enlist, serve out your enlistment, and get an honorable discharge. I don’t think there is.)
“Some observers who are hardly dumb or crazy think that China wants to reduce the USA to a vassal nation that can only supply China with food, oil, and other resources….”
Jim, this may be the most important comment in today’s essay. Let’s think a bit about how the US Empire has worked– The US controls the global money supply and prints as much of it as they want. Other currencies get devalued, we ship our industry to much poorer nations so that their sweatshops can make goods, which we then buy from them with newly-printed PonziBucks. This sucks wealth from around the globe into the accounts of a few large players on the East and West Coasts, while leaving the Fly-Over residents out of the bargain.
All China has to do is become the new controller of the Global Money Supply. Maybe with Russia as a partner in the venture–for a while…
The US Dollar gets devalued to a worthless 3rd-World currency (probably over night). Then the tycoons come over from China, buying land and assets for pennies on the Renminbi. They buy off the regulators to look the other way while they bulldoze the parklands to put up drab concrete block factories that can reclaim lead from circuit boards, dumping the waste into, oh let’s say, the Mississippi and Shenandoah rivers, just to start. The good stuff gets shipped to China for their profit, and we get left with the mountains of toxic waste.
I suspect that is their exact plan. It will work too. They have learned how to do this from us….

Just read up on Eric Clapton’s case.
This man was abused by whoever his primary MD is relative to the jab. He got AZ. He has a history of peripheral neuropathy. He took the jab because he believed the, in his words, propaganda of the media that it was no threat, no problem. He reacted horribly taking weeks to get his hands and feet back to normal. Okay, fool me once. Where was his MD to tell him not to do it again? He did it and really reacted.
I agree with you one hundred percent that this whole thing has been politicized and propagandized to the nth degree. An element of the population is at risk, big time to the side effects. In Pharma terms, they should be contraindicated for the jab.
Uh, whose job is it to tell people with known problems to not take the jab. That function is missing.
He was seduced by Dave Grohl and Mick Jagger’s Easy Sleazy. I mean, who wasn’t? I was ready to stab myself after less than a minute of it.
Eric Clapton’s doctor should be contraindicated for the job.
Yup, if he has one?

The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
Pucker
Interesting thing we learned on our tour of the Coliseum in Rome. In 70 AD, I think, the Jewish Temple was sacked by Rome and Jerusalem destroyed. Want to guess where all the wealth, especially gold that was in the Temple went. Voila, a new Coliseum for the folks.
Want another? After the fall of Rome, iron was used more and more for weapons and construction. Guess where some of it came from. The stones of the Coliseum and many other Forum buildings were joined together with iron joiners. If you get a close up of the Coliseum, you will see it looks like Swiss cheese with holes all over it. Those are the bore holes where they scavenged the iron joiners. They also took stones for building.
Lee Penn, Beware the New Age, Inplainsight.com
THE NEW AGE POPULATION SELECTION PROCESS
As part of the imminent global transformation, the radical New Age leaders look forward to a “selection” of the human race. The elect of humanity will survive to enter the New Age. Many others will die – a prospect that these gurus view with cold equanimity.
Alice Bailey described World War II as “the broom of the Father of all, sweeping away obstructions in the path of His returning Son.”[223] Since she saw war and mass murder as part of God’s plan, it’s reasonable to ask whether other Theosophists and New Age leaders who foretell a “selection process” intend to kill their opponents, if they can.
For several decades, in books with titles such as Happy Birth Day, Planet Earth, The Revelation: A Message of Hope for the New Millennium, and The Book of Co-Creation, Barbara Marx Hubbard has predicted “personal extinction”[224] for people who will not get with the New Age program.
“A Quantum Transformation is the time of selection of what evolves from what devolves. The species known as self-centered humanity will become extinct. The species known as whole-centered humanity will evolve.”[225] At the time of the quantum transformation, “humans capable of cooperating to self-transcend will do so”; “elements” who maintain “the illusion of separation will become extinct … just as Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal humans became extinct.”[226]
In referring to undesirable people as “elements,” she follows the example of the Nazis, the Communists, and others who dehumanize their opponents to justify destroying them. Barbara Marx Hubbard warns that if the selection comes, it will be violent: “Either the good will prevail, connect, link, and magnetize the majority of humanity to act with love for life everlasting, or the violent selection of the self-centered will begin.”[227] For her, Satan “is part of the selection process … that will bring forth the self-elected from the self-rejected, so that … only those connected to the whole survive.”[228] Robert Muller says that persons “who hold contrary beliefs” to those favored in the “next phase of evolution” will disappear [229] ; opponents of the UN and other “anti-evolutionary, blind, self-serving people” will have their souls “parked in a special corral of the universe for having been retarding forces, true aberrations in the evolution and ascent of humanity.”[230] David Spangler says that those who do not enter the New Age “will lose, for the time being … the ability to control or influence the developments upon Earth. … They will have moved from an active state to a relatively passive one.”[231] “Relatively passive” – like a corpse?
All the New Age soothsayers say that the extinction of the opposition is for their own good, the beginning of their cosmic re-education.
David Spangler says that those not attuned to New Age energy “have no place in the new world”;[232] they will be sent “where the patterns of the old still hold sway” for their “highest good.”[233]
Barbara Marx Hubbard says that those who are against the New Age “will begin again within a different planetary system which will serve as kindergarten for the transition from self-centered to whole-centered being.”[234]
Nick Bunick, the self-styled reincarnation of the Apostle Paul, sets the date for the selection. Between 2000 and 2010, “those people who are not living according to the laws of God” will be “no longer participating in our world”.[235] The resisters will be sent to “a different vibrational plane”[236] – not as a punishment, but to improve their karma.[237]
Barbara Marx Hubbard says that survivors of the “selection” will go with the flow of evolution, will love “choice, diversity, flexibility, ambiguity, uncertainty, responsibility, and response-ability,” and will be able to “co-create, unite, synergize and love everyone as a member of your body.”[238]
The inheritors of Marx Hubbard’s new kingdom will pass all the current tests for political correctness, and will be highly qualified to serve as bishops in the Episcopal Church.
The leaders of the New Age movement argue that the earth is overpopulated, and that radical measures are needed to defuse the “population bomb.” In the 1940s – when world population was less than half what it is today –
Alice Bailey said, “certain physical restrictions should be imposed, because it is now evident that beyond a certain point the planet cannot support humanity.”[239]
Matthew Fox has said, “Excessive human population is a grave danger … it’s one of the reasons I joined the Episcopal church, because of its open-minded and pragmatic view of birth control.”[240]
In 1997, Gorbachev said, “for a certain transitional period families should limit themselves to one child;” once the world’s population is stabilized, the former Communist premier would consider upping our ration to two children per family.[241 ]
Some of these “forward-thinking” people want to go further, and reduce Earth’s population to 2 billion or less. In a November 1991 interview with The UNESCO Courier, Jacques-Yves Cousteau said: “World population must be stabilized and to do that we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. This is so horrible to contemplate that we shouldn’t even say it. But the general situation in which we are involved is lamentable.”[242] That works out to 127,750,000 people per year, and 1.27 billion people to “eliminate” per decade. Media magnate Ted Turner is more patient; he will allow 80 to 100 years to reduce the population of the Earth from 6 billion to 2 billion by a global “voluntary” one-child policy.[243] In an interview with the environmentalist E Magazine, he added,
“I think the population should be closer to when we had indigenous populations, back before the advent of farming. Fifteen thousand years ago, there was somewhere between 40 and 100 million people. But [population researchers] Paul and Anne Ehrlich have convinced me that if we’re going to have a modern infrastructure, with commercial airlines and interstate highways around the world, we’re going to need about two billion people to support it.”[244]
The eco-feminist theologian Rosemary Radford Ruether has a similarly low view of humanity. She told those who attended a May 1998 ecological conference that “We need to seek the most compassionate way of weeding out people. … In place of the pro-life movement we need to develop the ‘spirituality of recycling’ … a spirituality that includes ourselves in the renewal of earth and self. We need to compost ourselves.”[245] Several months later, Ruether told a national conference of Call To Action, a liberal Catholic organization, how many people must go onto the compost pile: “We must return to the population level of 1930?[246] – about 2 billion people. What the supporters of population reduction leave discreetly unannounced is how to get rid of the 4 billion “surplus” people.
Despite his deep involvement in New Age occultism, David Spangler points out some dangers of the New Age worldview: “a desire for power, the tyranny of the group over the individual,” “an attachment to novelty for its own sake,” destruction of marriages due to pursuit of “self-development,” a misguided pursuit of “limitlessness,” losing awareness of the transcendence of God, and “unwillingness to say that anything is out of place or wrong.”[247] He also warns, “The new age movement in North America has much in common with its counterpart in Europe between the world wars. The ecological spirit and desire for transcendence expressed at that time in Germany became corrupted and channeled into the Nazi movement, which had many roots in occultism.”[248] An orthodox Christian might also offer all of these criticisms. It is unfortunate that Spangler did not use similar discernment in his other work.
Because the radical New Age adepts extol each other’s writings, speak at the same workshops, and share board memberships in the same organizations, it’s fair to assess their teachings as a group. (If this is “guilt by association,” it’s an association that the New Age gurus have created themselves.)
Taken together, the works of Robert Muller, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Neale Donald Walsch, Alice Bailey, David Spangler, and Helena Blavatsky are an anti-Catechism: a revival of the Gnostic heresy, a comprehensive anti-Gospel, and a point-by-point inversion of Christian morality and doctrine. The problem is not a few “smoking gun” quotes pulled from otherwise-innocent writings. The adepts of the New Age have provided an arsenal full of smoking guns, all pointed in the same direction. Those who can stand to read New Age and theosophical books in detail will find that these writers make clear their intentions for us all – just as Hitler did with Mein Kampf and as the Communists have done since Marx and Lenin. This time, let us heed the warning!
Is the New Age movement a conspiracy? No. Conspiracies are usually secretive associations with illegal objectives. New Age leaders and their utopian, globalist allies are open about their aims, and their activities are legal. The goals of the current crop of New Agers and utopians match what radicals have sought since the French Revolution. Their project reveals the permanent vulnerability of mankind to temptation and sin. Consider: God remains forever, and does not change. Human nature does not change, since mankind is created in God’s image. The devil does not change, and the temptations he offers mankind do not change. From the Garden of Eden to the séances of the theosophists, the message is the same: you will not die, and you will be a god. Human response to temptation does not change either; apart from God’s grace, we sin. Therefore, human rebellion against God will follow a consistent pattern. People who wish to rebel against God will find collaborators and mentors to affirm them and to assist them in their plans. (Also, the religious and governmental authorities, by their oft-repeated injustices and abuses, put the same temptations, scandals, and stumbling blocks before their people, again and yet again.) What some fevered observers see as multi-generational, international conspiracies are really just successive groups of fallen men following temptation to its logical conclusion. If New Age and utopian movements show unity and consistent purpose internationally or historically, it arises from the dark spirit they follow, rather than from human conspiratorial skill.
Yoho: Not Jacques Coursteau too! 350,000 a die have to die above the regular death rate to reach the promised land of two billon. This is the Erlich number – what he says is necessary to maintain our civilization. The Georgia Guidestones say only 500 million. I would be this is the chosen number now. They may not even need that many given automation and advanced computing. Given the savagery of the current program, I assume Ted Turner’s gradual program of doing it over 80-100 years is completely out.
Christianity can’t deal with this problem at all. Any attempt to control anything is killing souls for eternity or something. All acorns must become oaks! Sperm cells have rights too, not just eggs. The Gnostics, Occultists, and the East have a far more enlightened view of the cosmos and God. If souls aren’t born here and now, they’ll be born later and/or elsewhere when conditions are right.
What do Christians want? A dying world of ten billion people or more? The author and Barnhardt would grimly assent to this and gamely try to make such a disaster work, claiming God’s Will. There seems to be some Law that serious Christians can’t understand much about the eco-system and the Earth. Father Fahey was interested in organic farming, along with a back to the land school of Catholics back then, Chesterton among them. But they never touched overpopulation to my knowledge, probably not knowing about it.
Og might take a very tack. There’s a Schedule and it’s wrapping it up. Man was never going to solve this problem or any other big problem because we’re too fallen, too flawed. I actually have far more sympathy for this pov than the mainstream orthodoxy of Protestantism, Catholicism, or Orthodoxy. A humble and humane fundamentalism.
The problem with Ted Turner’s voluntary program is that the only people that would participate are the ones who should be exempt from participation. Countries in which the citizens can voluntarily limit population growth should not take on the excess population of those countries that can’t.
It’s the lifeboat game. It’s disappointing to watch the grotesque distortions of reason as otherwise intelligent people refuse to see the sea reaching up to them. Fortunately I’m a good swimmer and not too big on hysterical crowds. If they take me alive I’m kinda hoping they will keep me around for, shall we say, investments in the future…
“Christianity can’t deal with the problem at all.”
It’s not the Christian west that’s over populated, tho.
India population, 2021 est.: 1.4 billion
China population, 2021 est.: 1.3 billion
One of the (former) charms of the US was it’s great landmass, low population density, and homogeneous population. That’s gone now, mostly due to the immigration act of 1965. Do you remember the org. Zero Population Growth, whose mission seems to have been convincing white women in the US not to have children, at the same time opening up our borders to the whole 3rd world?
Brh
It was the Jimmy Carters [habitat for blacks] etc that caused the

Clearly a virus is the most practical solution. The wars of the future will be fought by first developing a virus along with a vaccine (mRNA makes this easy enough), then finding a pretext for a vaccination campaign, the unleashing the virus.
It’s the Green Final Solution.

“Dr. Tenpenny is being smeared” (MaryQueen)
They are all crooks, including Dr. Tenpenny. They are getting rich off the virus. The Anti-Vaxx industry is raking in $36 million a year and is worth over a billion to Big Tech.
Even if this were true, one industry has now created infrastructure for passports that will be part of a “digital wallet” and integrated with a score that will effect your ability to travel, and potentially work or shop for food in a brick-and-mortar store.
The threat from one group is a system of control unlike anything the world has seen before.
The threat from the other industry is that you will have to hear them tell you not to take certain vaccines.
More deep thoughts at 10.
Digital wallets are more used in other countries, not in the USA.
You seem to be scared, without any basis in reality. In the USA 38% pay with credit cards, 10% pay with a “digital wallet.”
No way in hell “digital wallets” is going to happen. 90% just don’t use them. What industry has created an “infrastructure” that only works with 10% of the population?
Your ability to travel, work, and shop for food is not in any danger … except in your mind. Chill, night bird.

A new troll enters the scene.
LOL.
enough already
tekapo at some level you’re not here in good faith. The energy’s relentlessly negative. Life’s too short for that. I believe you should be bigger as a person
I absolutely adore all the flattery Gus – every time a new smart rational dude logs in, your thoughts and prayers are focused in my direction and I’m touched.
But sadly they are not I – I have enough trouble keeping up with the Kardashians, Harry & Meghan, and the baseball scores, to have more than one persona.
And it is I who’s constantly urging the paranoid and conspiracy-driven to drop their negative energy and relax more … and as I constantly advise, they should play golf, go sailing, and sip crisp Chardonnay … it works.
E-commerce and digital wallets were steadily growing, but their popularity exploded in 2020.
Every year, FIS, a financial services company that performs retail analytics, documents payment trends around the world in its Global Payments Report. This report gives us an idea of the newest changes and what to expect in the future. The big news this year was a surge in digital wallet spending, which became the most popular payment method for e-commerce and point-of-sale (POS) transactions.
Considering that the COVID-19 pandemic had a massive impact on the world, it’s no surprise its impact extended to payment trends. Lockdowns led to much more e-commerce spending, and wariness about exchanging cash resulted in consumers turning to alternatives, including contactless credit cards and digital wallets.
That is the absolute worst Police work that I have seen yet on CFN (and that’s saying something!).
It could not be clearer that we have a David vs. Goliath situation. One knows a troll is spewing propaganda when they attack the little guy, or punch down.
I hope they are raking in the bucks. They need money to do the important work they are doing.
It’s not uncommon for the Elites to go Nuts.
Son of the great Stoic philosopher Emperor, Marcus Aurelius, Commodus, fantasized that he was some big, heroic gladiator. In order to scratch his deranged itch, Commodus would get into the gladiator ring dressed as a gladiator and then mortally stab some poor bloke in a rigged contest. Commodus did this hundreds of times. Apparently, the common Roman people found it mortifying to see their Emperor demean himself in this way. It’s a bit like the way that the Americans view their embarrassing leaders today. It was so embarrassing to watch Joe Biden try to out-man Putin during the G7 meeting.

Your beliefs, most of them are unbelievable.
Because China has not had much experience fighting, they are not much of a threat? Ludicrous. Millions against billions! A navy now bigger than ours. Space capability showing precise locating for land based missiles. Cyber tech that seems superior than our cyber defenses. A homogenous belief system that is overwhelming our joke of a culture. Like most of your comrades, you hate the USA, you make a good cheerleader for the other side.
Your comment on housing is just as ludicrous. The pride of America is the single family house. You have not been to Denver in 15 years. I was raised in Denver, I have seen the degradation of one of the most beautiful cities into the Bronx. Have you by any chance been to Cabrini Green in Chicago, or visited Harlem. Have you visited the tenements in New York, or Watts in LA. How about the Tents cities now omnipresent.
Conversely, have you visited the urban planned single family neighborhoods built since the 80s. Exquisite. Rental property is never cared for properly, declines and slums out. Rents skyrocket, crime invades, gangs invade and we get city expansion, worse than suburbia.
The recent expansion of the cities in response to the insane open border is the WORST single mistake that the US has ever done.
The Chinese had to do with the Mongols before they absorbed the Mongols.
And there has not been in al of history a people more militarily capable than the Mongols.
Americans are being trained for the coming War with China.
America sold itself to China for 3 decades of everyday low prices.
China out capitalized the Capitalists. China now owns the USA. They bought it fair and square and have your T-Bills to prove it.
Your elite don’t give a shit about you. They have built themselves luxury that you and I cannot imagine as each plays his role in China’s Just foreclosure of America.
Americans always thought that they’d simply forfeit after racking up the credit card for 50 years. They thought that they’d Just bomb their financier(s) if necessary.
They Believed, “If I owe you a million dollars, I’ve got a problem. If I owe you a billion dollars, you’ve got a problem.”
Scholars have often wondered on the seemingly lack of mention of the USA in End Times prophecy. New Babylon (DC/NYC/Hollywood) is mentioned but not when TSHTF (Battle of Armageddon).
Perhaps the USA will soon be nothing more than a Totalitarian choke-hold on its decimated population while the whole World goes to War against Israel.
Let’s be Honest. If China (Legally) forecloses on the USA, Israel’s in Big trouble. Right?
That would also fulfil prophecy.
Yep, we agree, the fall of America, and you better believe that Canada is right there too, has worldwide repercussions. What will it be like if China does take over the lead? The Asian philosophy that denies individuality will take over, the ideals of Western Civilization will decline. That is what is at stake. Including Canada and the rest of the G7.
Absolutely, JAZ. While I often argue that it is self-evident that America is no more exceptional than Queen’s rook’s pawn, there is no Western Civilization left after its fall. Canada, UK, the whole mess comes tumbling down in this global power-play.
The rest is pure speculation. I am constantly reminded of Karl Rove’s very definition of hubris quote. To paraphrase:
They act and we study, Judiciously as we will, there actions. Then they act again. They define Reality and we are left* to study what they have done.
They’ve got the playbook. They’ve got the ball. They’re Offence.
*left? Maybe.
That would also fulfil prophecy. – OGH

“The recent expansion of the cities in response to the insane open border is the WORST single mistake that the US has ever done.
John,
…And, you consider this a “mistake”?
Consider that the shot callers are not stupid.
Oh yes I do. The number one mistake is the development of the mega cities.
Concentration of drugs, crime, hatred, gangs, gimmes, tent cities, disease (has anyone compared the incidence of Covid in cities vs. rural areas) happen as the personal space collapses in cities. Political power concentrates in the cities where the influx of immigrants dilutes the patriotism needed to glue the country together.
Brown vs. White hatred exists at its peak in the cities. Actually, haves vs, have nots.
It is funny that JHK thinks that China might hve released the virus on itself as an attack on America while he is violently opposed to all deviations from the official 911 report as “conspiracy theories”.
With gain of function research it is now possible for small rogue groups to release a virus, even for an individual.
If that virus was released, the intent was a global pandemic (Wuhan is a transportation hub, military games with participants from all over going on). The purpose of such a pandemic can only be to weaken nation states.
And who is it that is opposed to the concept of a nation state?
I leave it to you to reflect upon this.
And who is it that is opposed to the concept of a nation state?
who?
The UN and its supporters. The EU government. The Davos crowd that want to run the world their way. Xi, under China control. Bill Gates. The Communist Party of the USA, formally known as the Democratic Party.
The heart of every one is the same. Disbelief in the individual as the center of power and the control of the people by a group of power folks who are much smarter than they are. All the way to the global level.
Even the Chamber of Commerce and Main Street want open borders. More customers! Capitalists are maniacs. Profit isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.
Such people can never be allowed to be in control. They are slaves to their own greed.
Before the Asian exclusion act, Whites couldn’t compete with Japanese immigrants who would keep their shops open 18 hours a day and slept on mats behind the counter. The crazy people win unless sane Government steps up and does its job.
Whoever the global forces are, they are shrewd. They know that many small attacks works better than one big assault.
They are also very stealthy, keeping their attacks quiet and small.
One step, one nation at a time. Think what Putin thinks right now after meeting with one of the poster children of the Leftists. I would make a wager that he will just ignore the US and will grow Russia independently as he knows if the US goes, he is next. The US is worthless as an ally.
The worst enemy of the globalists are the conspiracy theorists. That is why they spend so much effort playing whack a mole trying to shut them down.
A perfect example is Soros feeding the bank accounts of the BLM, Antifa, and supporting the campaigns of Black female urban mayors and DAs and a few White nambies. Now the facts point to the fact that it is the perfect squelch for the USA.
Nothing is worse than a Black female politician. Dumb, incompetent, self righteous lunatics given to endless virtue signaling. Lori is the most important, not only because Chicago is important but because of her hairline. As it goes, so goes America. If it continues to recede so does America.
Thus she is the Oracle, kind of. Just ignore everything she says and watch the hair.
SF, St Louis, Tampa, Atlanta, Rochester NY, Chicago … all blest with black woman Mayors. Hard to say what it means. When they emerge is it the End of Civilization, or merely the beginning of the end? IMHO when a figure like Mayor Beetlejuice is elected all hope is lost. Look at the results in the cities I cited. Who could have ever predicted the destiny of great cities like SF and Chicago would be dangerous, chaotic, blood soaked dystopias, run by ignorant, clueless black women?
But there it is.
Brh
St Louis has been referred to as the Rome of the West due to so many Catholic Churches, built with beautiful traditional architecture. Some have closed and combined parishes, but the buildings still stand. Anyone who is fan of great architecture would enjoy visiting them.
The catch would be not getting mugged while in the neighborhood visiting some of them 🙁
.
Who is it opposed to the concept of a nation state? By definition, anarchists. But also New World Order, One-World govt types. I leave it to you to reflect upon this.
It’s likely that the Wuhan virus escaped from the lab accidentally. But a competing theory that may or may not be true is that it was a deliberate false flag attack perpetrated by our own U.S. of A. spook agencies. Ron Unz has toyed (if that’s the right word) with this theory.
A question still exists. Why the hell are Fauci and his cohorts trying to create a super bug in the first place? Some one need to stop this scientific arrogance.
Esp. Genetics of any form. What always happens when Man messes with Mother Nature, in this case, DNA and evolution?
Catastrophe.
Often the answer is right there in the physiognomy (the face.) That little rat-face is glib with words, I’ll give him that.
Only Rand Paul asked him how much he was profiting from all this. A rhetorical question in a moment of anger. Fauci said nothing. He should be made to answer this question under oath.
Our goal in buying a new residence was to get beyond the reach of the Denver light rail system. We have succeeded. Even if light rail extends to our local city there is no way the ‘enrichers’ will get to our neighborhood up in the hills beyond.
The buyers of our old house are Chinese. These people are hard bargainers. It’s obvious we are coming from two different ethical backgrounds. Their goal is to never leave money on the table. Our goal as Westerners was fairness.
Fortunately, it’s a seller’s market. So we put our foot down and said no to their latest demands. They signed the documents just as I knew they would. Mrs. Tate was in solidarity with me, but out of exasperation, not out of understanding your foe. She was hoping they would back out but I told her No, they’re gonna sign. The realtor was also doubtful, but maybe she’s never dealt with the Chinese before? I haven’t either but have the benefit of an ethnographer’s perspective (even though I’m not an ethnographer on paper.)
I have witnessed personally the marauding going on along the Denver light rail system. But also by hearsay. Our neighbor’s kid was stabbed by a ‘vibrant’ while riding the light rail. They have undercover cops riding the light rail system but it’s a joke when the cop is a girl, as is often the case. Our modern American-African is analogous to a totemic animal to the totem societies of the Amerindians, such as the bear, coyote, rabbit, & beaver societies. But this is the case only for the bien-pensant among our Whites. The great unwashed don’t subscribe to this idea. That being the case, the typical light rail rider being a bien-pensant Goodwhite, he is an easy target for their beloved totemic animal.

The denizens of Portland and vicinity (and I know you have visited here Jim!) have drunk the Kool-Aid fer sure. Although nearly 70% vaxxed they continue to wear masks even after given permission to remove them. But the cracks are appearing. A recent trip to Costco showed dozens of people daring to show their faces.
What’s lost on Oregonians is that the mercurial labyrinth of risk-level-rules they been suffering under since March of 2020 are the work of a public health authority run by a career bureaucrat with no previous background in public health and no background whatsoever in science or medicine. The State epidemiologist is a former pediatrician who I suspect was hired in part for he/him/his woke credentials. Both serve a governor who stumbled into office from her Sec of State gig after the last governor resigned. His girlfriend was caught dipping into the state honey pot, but at least he was a doctor.
Masks not withstanding, Portland has myriad other problems too.
A few days ago the entire PPB riot squad resigned.
Now Antifa/BLM squads have Free Rein to wreak havoc as they like, unimpeded.

None of them lost a day of work from all this. They are all communists and had no sympathy for private business to begin with. So why would they start having any now?
The Stupidification of the US is no more obvious than with the Covid. The over reaction of the political folks caused by ignorance will be looked back on as a historical embarrassment.
I wonder what would have happened if masks had been used only when people were within a few feet of each other, people adjusted to stay a few feet apart from strangers, sick people stayed home, like the flu, nothing closed down, the economy went on humming, the crud running through the population as a low grade infection, no NY governors sending the most susceptible folks into concentration camps to spread the crud and die together.
A senior vaccine, not under pressure would have been developed. No politics, no Leftist pressure.
The HUGE diversity of data on almost every aspect of the crud and the really tiny amount of actual data to judge by is criminal. Zealots on both sides have presented opposing views since 2019.
Vaxxers will be heroes if nothing untoward happens to the vast majority of jabs. And the crud subsides to nothingness. Anti vaxxers will be heroes if a big sickness develops this fall as a consequence of the jab.
No one really KNOWS, it is all opinion.
The Left saw this as an opportunity. It was fated. “Never let a crisis go to waste.” Saul Alinsky via Hellary Clinton & her henchman Rahm Emmanuel.

Possible…who knows?
Out and about town this morning, didn’t see any JUNETEENTH celebrations. However, local news reports huge murals being painted on the walls of mostly abandoned buildings (not all) across urban areas in the state. Some people would call it grafitti and vandalism. They are of mostly Club Members in revolutionary poses. Many are renditions of George Floyd, with a halo. The effect is to make cities like Hartford and New Haven seem more menacing than they already are. This distinguished artwork will last for years, long after George Floyd is forgotten and theses once prosperous Yankee cities are crumbling and abandoned, which will come when the Section 8, foodstamp and WIC schwag stop flowing.
Brh
You never bring another race into your nation for any reason. We learned nothing from all this because we then invited the Mexicans and Central Americans in for cheap labor (modern slavery) – while they had plenty of White and Black slaves available.

A delicious conundrum: BA is now talking to the government about banning vaccinated pilots. So you pressure your pilots to get vaxed, ban them, and then go out of business.
Are you not embarrassed to post this utter bollocks?
I can’t believe I actually soiled my psyche by reading it. And now there’s a record of me accessing this lake of pig slurry.
It would be insulting even to have to point out the individual items of nonsense.
But I loved the bit about *driving* a plane. Is the author four years of age?
Beyond parody.
I won’t click on the daily stormer.
Well I certainly won’t again, benr.
I feel like I need a shower.
Please! I have lunch on the stove.

And Trump didn’t win the election, either. ?
Yet they admit four pilots are no longer driving their bodies…..
I’ve given you details of one of them below.
And Trump may well have won the election.
You are a true believer – a good slave! You’d be happy if your pilot was driving a plane and died – so you could be a martyr to your covid religion.
Grow up and get some integrity.
You are better than this.
You are really rattled. I’m over the target!
Reuters presented the claims to British Airways, which said they were unfounded and that no such talks were underway with the government. The spokesperson, however, confirmed the authenticity of the four condolence books, as four company pilots had recently passed away. “Our thoughts are with their family and friends,” they said, adding that none of the deaths was linked to vaccines.
GA, what now? Are you “better than this”?
Are you double-jabbed? Moderna gal?
Does it constantly hurt with your head crammed up your ass or do you acclimatize?
Yoho
This is one of the four pilots.

Maybe I was wrong and you aren’t better than this. I won’t insist.
And I’m not rattled, I’m disgusted that you would lower yourself to this level. And it’s not even anything to do with the allegations about the vaxx.
But you be who you want to be. Nobody is forcing you.
And I’m not rattled, I’m disgusted that you would lower yourself to this level. And it’s not even anything to do with the allegations about the vaxx.
When are you getting your 2nd jab, GreenAlba?
I forget. Are you a Moderna gal?
“What’s your poison?”
“Driving” a plane is common parlance among airline pilots. To them, it’s just a job.
Thank you.
GreenAlba,
I Believe the words you seek are:
“Thank you. I stand corrected. I was Wrong.”
If you Really wanted to self-reflect, you’d add:
“I Best pull my head out of my ass.”
Thank you again, Tate.
I may get back to you again with more if either of the arrogant clowns acknowledges that they didn’t know that at least one of pilots died after 8 months in a Texas hospital being treated for Covid that he caught while working – probably from multiple organ damage. Or as it’s sometimes known, ‘a cold’.
If either of these clowns acknowledges they know fuck all about how any of the pilots died, I may soften even further. And thank you most profusely. 🙂
In the meantime we can all give some consideration to how the widow of the pilot who died of Covid feels knowing how certain unscrupulous people are abusing her husband’s death.
Not you, obviously.
I forgive you, Alba.
Talk about having no shame!
Good God!
I forgive you too, Yoho.
But you really should make an effort not to post articles with lies in them from utterly appalling websites.
You are forgiven this time. Just don’t do it again.
Is this a trap? Never mind.
You’re welcome, Green Alba.
But you really should make an effort not to post articles with lies in them from utterly appalling websites.
Who are you to vet our sources in this topsy-turvey World where MSM bold-face lies?
In 1 pass of the sun, pretty much everything in the article of the “utterly appalling website” has proven to be True.
You find The Truth “appalling.”
You don’t like God’s Word so you deny His very existence.
You are in for a mighty rude awaking if you do not mend your ways, GA.
God bless you.
THE FUCKING PRESIDENT HAS FUCKING DEMENTIA
When receiving information about the world it’s necessary to scrutinize not just the information, but also the means by which the information was brought to your attention and who could benefit from its circulation. Few bother doing all of these things, which is why most people are confused about the world.
The fact that Biden is continuing all of Trump’s policies means those who believed Trump was fighting the establishment must now admit that either (A) they were wrong or (B) Biden is also fighting the establishment.
The only people promoting the idea that Joe Biden has dementia are right wingers, left wingers, and Joe Biden.
People tell me I should criticize Biden’s policies and not his obvious mental decline, but a very clear sign that the most powerful government on earth is not being run by its elected officials is actually an extremely noteworthy fact that everyone should be talking about.
The only face more suitable for the US empire than a sociopathic billionaire is a decrepit warmongering corporate whore with dementia.

Frick v Frack.
They’re goofin’ on ya.
Christopher Langan, IQ: 200, is one of the smartest people in the world. Quite sensibly, he never perverted his intelligence by working for these people or trying to make money with it, preferring to work humbly and honorably as a construction worker, bouncer, and now raising horses. In recent years he has apparently become more active, with a deep interest in theology. His thoughts on the Crisis:
Response: First, according to the usual definition of “vaccine”, the current injections are not “vaccines.” They are just another strain of dangerous technology that the parasitic overclass is funding and using for the purpose of global domination and control.
A mass human die-off would be traumatic and threaten the status quo. If the human population crashes and the economy follows suit, the elite will have nothing, no innate superiority or adaptivity, that might protect them and conduce to their survival. Hence, they prefer mass sterilization and a slower (but still rapid) population decline.
Obviously, the parasitic overclass is worried that its environment is being destroyed by human overpopulation. Unfortunately, it’s right about that – whereas the Earth and its resources are finite, population growth is exponential. But there are at least three major problems with their approach.
(1) Instead of addressing population control the right way, by upgrading the population through education and genetic hygiene, appealing to what is best in the human species, and convincing it to control its own reproductive behavior for its own good and that of the Earth, they prefer to lie and sneak around behind everyone else’s back, conning and threatening us into “vaccination” on false pretenses. Hence, their conspicuous neglect of Logos. Instead of upgrading humankind, they are degrading it, relying on a combination of public ignorance, misplaced trust, and dead-end ideas and ideologies like atheism, materialism, communism, multiculturalism and forced ethnic “diversification”, tyrannical “global governance” to snooker humanity into compliance.
(2) While the global elite desperately want total control of the planet including its human population, they are neither intelligent nor morally good enough to deserve it, and have no idea how to properly use it to the advantage of the human species and the planet as a whole.
(3) This is reflected in the fact that their control agenda is limited to quantity control and totally excludes quality control. They assume that all the true genetic wealth of mankind resides in themselves despite their conspicuous lack of merit (genius, moral rectitude). Subscribing to an outworn idea called “Social Darwinism”, they simply assume that everyone else, no matter how much better and how much smarter one may be, is inferior and expendable and should be either culled or sterilized, or downbred, deracinated, and melted into a vast mocha-colored slave race for elite convenience.
In short, by virtue of stuffing their pockets and pushing everyone else around, the elite consider themselves a “Master Race”, a kind of global livestock breeding association to which the rest of the species is nothing but a herd of docile cattle to be bred for servility and barely enough intelligence to follow orders. This has been clearly and irrefutably documented by, e.g., the “White genocide” agenda described a century ago by R.N. Coudenhove-Kalergi, originally funded by the Rothschilds, Warburgs, and other international banksters and now pursued as international policy throughout the Western World.
It’s easy to see where this leads, and it’s nowhere good. Personally, I’m willing if necessary to do severe physical harm to anyone attempting to force one of these injections on me, and the same should be true of any other decent self-respecting person.
Q: “Why would the Global Plantation Owners want to kill off or reduce the fertility of their most subservient, obedient subjects?”
A: You may not quite understand. Resisting the “vaccine” helps the elite identify you as someone who is better killed and therefore eligible for “lead vaccination.” [winky face emoji]
Besides, they think they can force everyone to take the “vaccine”, so it’s moot. Take it now, and you may be eligible for zombification and enslavement as a chemical cyborg; don’t take it, and you’re ripe for culling, no “vaccine” required. Any “worthwhile” slaves who die immediately are acceptable collateral damage; besides, every death serves the depopulation agenda. (Never assume these control addicts haven’t calculated every move they make for its “heads we win, tails you lose” value. Even when they don’t know their asses from their elbows, which is quite often, this is their primary policy criterion.)
Remember, the elite $uppose themselve$ to be the genetic creme-de-la-creme, and assume that everyone else is genetically inferior garbage and thus ultimately susceptible to their mind-control techniques. This is a mass-scale operation in which human error makes it impossible to efficiently select for “quality”, whether quality is defined on objective merit, or serviceability to the parasitic overclass.
In the elite worldview, only the elite are “elite”. Everyone else is sh*t and therefore expendable.
Yoho: Nothing to add, I agree 100%.
Why doesn’t he solve the energy crisis? Well maybe he has thoughts about that, but any invention would be suppressed or perverted by the Satanic elite. How do we know it hasn’t already been done? Also, high IQ isn’t the same as creativity. Someone with a much lower IQ but creative genius may be the one to do that. I don’t know if he or isn’t.
Never assume these control addicts haven’t calculated every move they make for its “heads we win, tails you lose” value. Even when they don’t know their asses from their elbows, which is quite often, this is their primary policy criterion.
Nailed it.

Someone with a much lower IQ but creative genius may be the one to do that. I don’t know if he or isn’t.
Genius and go-getter are very different things. As rare as a 170+ IQ is, 170+ & go-getter is rarer still.
I would not wish a 200 IQ on anyone. The thought turns my stomach. It must been awful for him – living with primates.
As an IT guy I am forced to deal with people who for lack of a better word are dumb as dirt.
A friend of mine also in IT at the same place once quipped to me about feeling at best average intelligence until he started working where we work.
He now feels far superior to most of the people we work with.
I would hazard a guess most of them are far below 100 but most are above 80 as they can in fact spell their own names.
The company likes to put together various howtos for people to fix easy computer problems but if the steps are more than two or three most people simply can’t follow along or refuse.
Humanity is in sad shape as everything continues to move at rapid pace that most people now need to know as much about computers as I did as an IT guy back in the mid 90’s.
I provided PC user support in the ’90s. I know exactly what you mean.
I have worked – extensively – in IT. I totally agree. Made me feel like a genius.
I used my first IBM punch-card in 1971, programmed in the late 70s, and so have been around computers for 50 years, and have helped countless people get themselves set up, or solve problems when they happen.
Some people don’t “get it” and are totally dependent on everything working 100% all the time. But I found very often that when you show people the solution in a clear way, they learnt it, and didn’t have to ask that again.
I’ve never been an Apple Believer … so for me the Peak Accessibility point was Windows XT, where a skilled user could pretty-much find everything, even the embedded stuff.
But with Windows 10, so much of it now is so opaque that I haven’t a clue really. Same with smartphones. Nothing to do with getting older of course.
It was Windows XP, Josephine.

@og
No there actually was a windows XT
How ever it never went anywhere AND 99% of the planet never saw it or used it.
Just like there was a windows 98, 98se and then Millenia.
Most the problems I don’t know how to fix are well documented with a simple google search.
Yes it must be a burden as well as a joy. You don’t see the latter or it wouldn’t be for you? You are humble indeed.
I saw a show about people who never forget anything. Some of them use a kind of system and the researchers thought that maybe that was the key. But no, it was just a way or organizing their power, not the source of it. One woman didn’t want to talk about it – it was clearly a source of great pain for her. Talk about being alone in the bad sense. This I can see as only a negative more clearly – so flawed are we that forgetting is a mercy, especially since remembering would separate us from others.
An IQ of 200 and a credibility of zero … quite an achievement. A 9/11 truther and now a Covid-denier, but nothing new to say – rinse and repeat. Perhaps he should stick to his racehorses.
Remember when the Democrats attempted to impeach President TRUMP for threatening to with hold Ukranian funding?
Not only did Biden do the same thing and worse he has now actually done such and the timing is even more odd.
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/06/18/white-house-ukraine-military-lethal-weapons-495169
Right after getting handled by Putin.
How bizarre!
Nothing to see leftist democrat dupes nothing to see continue praising demented ol’ Joe.
You can’t make this shit up.
Oh and the video of Ol’ Uncle Joe bragging about doing what TRUMP WAS JUST ACCUSED OF…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXA–dj2-CY
Tell me again how Joe should ever have been allowed to run for resident in the Whitehouse much less actually ever sworn in.
Quid pro quo said Lecter to Clarice quid pro quo.

Wow … Biden Derangement Syndrome far exceeds anything achieved for the former guy!
No I don’t get angry at the mere mention of Bidens name but hearing him stumble around while speaking makes me sad that so many people are deluded enough to think this guy is fit to run anything.
That and the utter hypocrisy of how the media covers for Biden and his endless grifts and corruption.
Not only did Biden do the same thing and worse he has now actually done such and the timing is even more odd
Your whataboutism and shock-horror false equivalence are creative but do not wash. The former guy was impeached (correctly in my view) because he stood over the Ukraine Prime Minister and demanded a quid pro quo – in order to achieve illegitimate ends (political dirt on the Bidens).
President Biden has done nothing of the sort, and I expect you know that full well.
It was a blatant abuse of power by the former dude, but the Senate was too craven to convict. I suspect they now wish they had – they might well have not lost the presidency, senate, and house.
HAHAHAHAHA
You are so full of shit I posted the damn video of him publicly BRAGGING about doing what Trump was accused of but DID not do.
Go fuck yourself Goebbels.
“Whataboutism”
Terms used by people with nothing to say.
And nothing between the ears.
Agent Po is good comic relief today. First a meltdown, now this. LOL!
Tekapo, you actually think we haven’t seen the video of Joe Biden bragging about how (when Vice-President) he threatened to withhold a billion dollars from the Ukraine until their President fired the prosecutor investigating Biden’s corrupt associates at Burisma.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXA–dj2-CY
I’m sure you’ve seen the video. When you lie so blatantly, you make yourself look like a complete buffoon.
Tekapo, you actually think we haven’t seen the video of Joe Biden bragging about how (when Vice-President) he threatened to withhold a billion dollars from the Ukraine until their President fired the prosecutor investigating Biden’s corrupt associates at Burisma.
This has been regularly debunked – which I expect you know full well.
Vice President Biden was seeking (demanding?) the dismissal of a corrupt prosecutor – a step that might have lead to greater scrutiny of Burisma, not less.
HAHAHAHAHA
Another huge lie and he calls it debunked.
So when a leftist troll says debunked you know it means a mountain of lies from the media and everyone else.
Damn near as bad as this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_x6QmuJdms
Whos is more believable?
Your transparent lies fall apart, Tekapo
Biden got his wish. The prosecutor was terminated. Did this result in greater scrutiny of Burisma? You said “might have” so I would guess in reality it did not.
Are you saying Biden wanted greater scrutiny of Burisma’s shady dealings? Are you going to tell us he wanted Hunter investigated and imprisoned? Your silly story falls apart.
You admit Biden threatened to withhold one billion in aid from the Ukraine if he didn’t get his way. That’s called blackmail. You claim Trump did it and that it was wrong when Trump did it.
Why is blackmail right when Biden does it?
I used to think you were simply wrong in your opinions,. Now I see you are a malignant, knowing liar totally lacking in honor and devoted to spreading disinformation and falsehood.
You labor in service to evil and I almost pity you for the justice the universe will one day impose.

Firstly, Hunter Biden was a director of the company, and was not being investigated as a criminal. And while his appointment as a director looks as dodgy as all get-out, there is no evidence I’ve seen that says he was committing crimes.
Anyway – the distinction is crucial: Trump stood over the PM for a quid pro quo – I would have thought a blatant abuse of power – and for which he was impeached.
Vice President Biden was applying blunt but “proper” financial power – and it was a decision that was supported by EU/NATO. A pretty big difference. And the reality is that the prosecutor targeted was seen as corrupt – his removal was a condition if the funding.
Not pretty, but not impeachable at all.
And worse you double down on your lies and bullshit.
You can’t see that Biden DID what Trump was only accused of but did not do and then Biden went ahead and with held funding right after his meeting with the boss Putin.
Biden must be getting whiplash taking orders from the Chicoms and Putin.
Don’t worry Congressman Adam Scfiff and his committee are on it and ready to file Impeachment charges come Monday LoL.
I have an old high school chum who lives in Maine. Everyday he forwards me several Facebook pics that he has received from other friends. I open these pics but I rarely comment to him on them because more often than not they present some political or cultural view that I don’t agree with. I don’t want to disturb a friendship that extends back to 4th grade so I just keep my mouth shut.
But this picture today is soooo provocative that I just have to pass it along for you CFN commenters to see. God, I hope you all are able to open this link, especially Yohannon. It will curl his hair, he’ll shit himself, and possibly have a heart attack.

Not permanently but you haven’t shut down your computer since the last time you logged in.
It’s only for his friends I think.
Yes. that is correct.
Indeed stelmo, that is the very guy (although his nickname is Chas (pronounced Chaz) not Chuck. You would not believe the size of his little car collection…it’s massive. It’s almost entirely devoted to Ford and other Ford products…Lincoln, Merc, whatever.
Chas has been a collector of everything under the sun going all the way back to grammar school…stamps, silver spoons, thimbles, US silver coins (pre-1965) etc etc. When the price of silver peaked out around 1980 he sold a shit-ton of it and the following day drove up to my house in a brand new white Pontiac convertible purchased with the proceeds.
Chas worked all his life as a Parts Manager in a Ford dealership and he got into collecting all kinds of Ford and other car memorabilia. He began to acquire car manuals, both the kinds that are in your glove box and the big monster manuals that auto repair places use. He then began to sell these manuals on ebay and made connections with other collectors. One of them had an entire garage full and wanted to unload the whole thing. Chas bought it and had to rent a truck to bring it back home. He then began to feed these manuals into the market piecemeal via ebay. He has taken in $thousands$ over the years. He keeps meticulous records in Excel spreadsheets of his “matchbox” little cars collection and his dealings on ebay. He even collects food (like a “prepper”) which is stored in row upon row of shelves in his basement. He has so much that every once in a while he has to purge some of it because it has become too old to risk eating.
Way back in the day he and a friend bought a model A Ford and restored it. He kept it for decades and just a couple years ago sold it. Currently Chas drives two vehicles…the largest Lincoln Navigator SUV and a Mustang with a giant engine and stick shift. I’ve driven it. It’ll snap your neck.

Juneteenth is a dumb, cheap name. Even a generic “Proclamation Day” sounds more official, sophisticated, and classy. These drab, monotone corporate-marxist slogans and mantras are very offensive and insulting, and gross and ugly. But I suppose its important to keep in mind that pigs do love mud.
Juneteenth is a dumb, cheap name. Even a generic “Proclamation Day” sounds more official, sophisticated, and classy.
I don’t agree that “Juneteenth” in itself is dumb and cheap – it has a long and well-established history.
But I agree – “Proclamation Day” would be a clear signal that the folksy semi-official day/date has been elevated to the Pantheon of national (federal) holidays, and that would be a good thing.
“Juneteenth National Independence Day” – is wrong in just about every way.
But you assume it is meant to be something positive. It is not. It’s like a hot knife to butter. It’s just an instrument of dissolution and destruction. Exactly why the national independence day part was added.
Is it as lame as
BUILD BACK BETTER?
Indeed.
And I fucking hate alliteration.
All the sudden lefty pubs like the New Yorker, Atlantic, USA today, the NYTs etc are going balls to the wall JUNETEENTH. I mean every single article, looking at this now venerated, historic, 1 day old national holiday from all perspectives and angles LoL.
They understand it’s a provocation and endeavor to take full advantage of it, before the jokes and ridicule begins.

They knew it was in the month of June, & most of them couldn’t count up to 19 because they had lost a digit or two over the years, so they condensed it into ‘Juneteenth.’

A well-designed wealth (asset) tax is an excellent idea. The fear-mongering is laughable.
A wealth tax is good for the economy, good for society, and far easier to achieve compliance under than taxing hidden “income” – just look at Jeff Bezos or Warren Buffet, who pay essentially 0.1%.
It is a progressive tax, the wealthy can easily afford it, and 80% of taxpayers would not be affected. All principal residences and family farms below a threshold would be exempt. So would most savings and investments by ordinary wage-earners.
If you own a $100-million mega-yacht, it owes $5m a year … so you make it earn it. Same with ten-bed mansions on Nantucket.
Oh so you’re an expert on tax policy now, lol? Nobody really knows what would happen, but my guess is there would be a collapse in the value of all assets, real estate, tangibles, etc. in the scramble to pay those tax bills brought on by a massive liquidation sale. We would all be poorer in so many ways. What covid hasn’t killed, that would. Leave it to the Dems. Fortunately, it won’t happen. There are enough rational brains even among their party to keep it from happening.

I have not claimed tax expertise … putting words in my mouth (not the first time, I might add).
Other nations have a wealth-asset tax (3%-5%) – it hasn’t led to the end of Western civilisation. If well designed it can work quite effectively, and can reduce – or even eliminate – the income tax burden on say the 50% of lowest earners.
Such people already pay a much higher effective rate in tax, through regressive sales taxes, and other fed, state, county, and city charges that apply regardless of income.
Asset values won’t crash, and even if they did, it doesn’t wreck the “real economy”. And a lot more money would be directed to the productive economy – if you have to pay 5%, you’ll want to earn 6% …
“Asset values won’t crash…”
Hahaha. But “even if they did…”
Typical neoliberal hokum. Why do you put “the real economy” in quotes, my friend? As I said, even in the “woke” party, cooler heads would prevail. At the worst, it would be phased in. All I know is that here in this state, where businesses are subjected to a kind of “wealth tax,” traditional manufacturing has never thrived. A national wealth tax would result in the same, driving traditional manufacturing to other countries. Like we need more of what made the patient sick, something akin to medicinal leaching. Thank you, Billary.
leeching.
“It is a progressive tax, the wealthy can easily afford it, and 80% of taxpayers would not be affected. All principal residences and family farms below a threshold would be exempt. So would most savings and investments by ordinary wage-earners.
“The Revenue Act of 1913 imposed a one percent tax on incomes above $3,000, with a top tax rate of six percent on those earning more than $500,000 per year. Approximately three percent of the population was subject to the income tax”- Wike.
…Yeah….
What to expect inside of America if the USA decides to engage either Russia or China in a war
Lately, there has been all this talk and speculation about how the USA is going to “counter” China. All made with the best of intentions by nationalists with little experience, poor or fraudulent Intel, and a lack of awareness at how incompetent the United States actually is today. Yet they own the MSM; the media mouthpiece and everyone desires to go ahead and pick a fight for “freedom™” and “democracy™”.
I have argued over and over and over again that America is very, very fragile. It is more than balkanized, it is tottering on the edge of chaos. And all it would take to send it over the side is China or Russia doing what the US Military is vocally planning to do.
One strike on a city.
It doesn’t even need to be a nuclear strike.

Left Facebook a LOOOONG time ago. Sorry, I have enough addictions w/o having to add another to my long list of concerns.
When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.
It’s not equality tom, it’s equity. Equality is as 2015 as Facebook.
Equality went out of fashion when they realised it did nothing for the permanent victim class. Equity won’t work either.

Pfizer and Moderna Fail to Respond to British Medical Journal About COVID Vaccine Safety Concerns
An article published in the British Medical Journal by Dr. Peter Doshi titled “Covid-19 Vaccines: In The Rush for Regulatory Approval, Do We Need More Data?” raises concerns regarding COVID-19 vaccine rollout, and one of them is the bio-distribution of the vaccine. This refers to the examination and study of where the vaccine and its ingredients go once injected into the body. Having sped up the approval process of these vaccines, it has been claimed that no compromises in the process of examining their safety were made. But the fact that no study for tracking the distribution of the vaccine within the human body was conducted for any of the authorized vaccines, we cannot say this is true.
Dr. Doshi points out that such bio-distribution studies are a standard practice of drug safety testing but “are usually not required for vaccines.” This in itself is concerning. Research regarding the bio-distribution of aluminum containing vaccines, for example, have raised concerns about injected aluminum crossing the blood brain barrier and being distributed throughout the body where it can be detected years after injection. This is important, because vaccines are a different method of delivery than say, ingested aluminum, which the body does a great job of getting rid of through digestion.
In his article, Dr. Doshi also references a report that Pfizer provided to the Japanese government. In the report there is a table containing lipid nanoparticle bio-distribution.

They are in no rush. Kick this can down that road.
~at least one of pilots died after 8 months in a Texas hospital being treated for Covid that he caught while working – probably from multiple organ damage. Or as it’s sometimes known, ‘a cold’.~
are some of these people getting vaxxed even after severe covid bouts last year…dying now after the vax i wonder?
Like the dawson’s creek writer who’s symptoms recurred two months ago (vax time)
Well ya. Except you are never or probably never going to be told that from anyone from an official mainstream source. The vaxxes are safe and effective! That is apparently a hill they are willing to die on or maybe willing for you to if you know what I mean.
What’s the difference between equality and equity?
I could look it up, but I’m too fucking lazy and besides, I’m sure all the geniuses on this site will set me straight
Me dumb…me no understand.
Equality is where you give people the same opportunity to do something, i.e. you don’t discriminate against any particular individual.
Equity is where you deliberately engineer an outcome to benefit a particular group, which requires discrimination against an individual (usually a white male).
I’m still waiting for equity in midwifery (too many women), bricklaying (too many men) and soldiers dying on battlefields (too many men).
You could also add world champion sprinters (too many blacks) and rappers (ditto) but, like racism, I think it only works one way.
And does anybody remember the film White Men Can’t Jump? Where is the outrage or calls to ‘cancel’ that?
Now imagine if I made a film about Formula 1 racing called Black Men Can’t Drive. Can you imagine the meltdown! Yet what is the difference?
Beating up on/being racist against whitey is acceptable. Yes. Great example.
Yet what is the difference?
I have run this explanation previously, but I can do so again briefly. Racism is political – it is not just transactional, it is not a=b therefore b=a.
Racism is a term where the dominant class discriminates against (and in the case of slavery, totally oppresses and controls) another group on the basis of their race,
Therefore when members of the oppressed class take the piss out of “whitey”, then it is often humorous, but not really upsetting the power relationships. Everyone knows that.
But in a post-slavery world, it is time for atonement and reconciliation – and therefore white racist attacks on blacks are simply not allowed, because it is either an echo or a continuation of the centuries of oppression.
So despite all the whingeing and whining from white guys seeking the status of victimhood – it’s not “possible” for black guys to be “racist” under the definition I’m using.
There is a parallel process to do with feminism, under which it’s not “possible” for women to be sexist. I don’t expect everyone to agree with me, but what I’m suggesting has a long academic pedigree.
In prison, they are the dominant class. Or in their ghettoes. So they can be racists in those places according to your definition. Or any work place that has a Black boss if he is anti-White.
Thank for playing (and losing).
You are the dimmest most brainwashed special kind of stupid.
There is no human more racist than the average black.
They hate each other for skin color variations amongst themselves I saw it over and over while in Uncle SAMS CANOE CLUB and worse no one ever called them on it and that was in the mid 90’s I can’t even imagine how bad it is now.
Someone missed the memo about academia being a cesspool of irrelevant sophistry for the last 5 decades.
The game is changing. “White” america is falling apart by its own structural weakness. The USA is an open field again, and just about everyone on the landmass is on equal footing concerning what the country will become. Prediction: those who recognize this will rise; those of any background who stay stuck in the past will pay a bill for that luxury.
The main weakness of the “white oppression” narrative to my mind is its assumption that whitey still has power to redistribute. The narrative is stuck in the past, more irrelevant every day, a victimhood narrative that will sap blacks of needed energy.
From Glenn Greenwald’s Substack:
Questions About the FBI’s Role in 1/6 Are Mocked Because the FBI Shapes Liberal Corporate Media
The FBI has been manufacturing and directing terror plots and criminal rings for decades. But now, reverence for security state agencies reigns.
The axis of liberal media outlets and their allied activist groups — CNN, NBC News, The Washington Post, Media Matters — are in an angry uproar over a recent report questioning the foreknowledge and involvement of the FBI in the January 6 Capitol riot. As soon as that new report was published on Monday, a consensus instantly emerged in these liberal media precincts that this is an unhinged, ignorant and insane conspiracy theory that deserves no consideration.
The original report, published by Revolver News and then amplified by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, documented ample evidence of FBI infiltration of the three key groups at the center of the 1/6 investigation — the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys, and the Three Percenters — and noted how many alleged riot leaders from these groups have not yet been indicted. While low-level protesters have been aggressively charged with major felonies and held without bail, many of the alleged plot leaders have thus far been shielded from charges.
The implications of these facts are obvious. It seems extremely likely that the FBI had numerous ways to know of any organized plots regarding the January 6 riot (just as the U.S. intelligence community, by its own admission, had ample advanced clues of the 9/11 attack but, according to their excuse, tragically failed to “connect the dots”). There is no doubt that the FBI has infiltrated at least some if not all of these groups — which it has been warning for years pose a grave national security threat — with informants and/or undercover spies. It is known that Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio has served as an FBI informant in the past, and the disrupted 2020 plot by Three Percenters members to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) was shaped and driven by what The Wall Street Journal reported were the FBI’s “undercover agents and confidential informants.”

Thanks MaryQueen, I’m so utterly disgusted by the deep state criminals who oppress us. My hatred for the lying MSM and agents of disinformation like Tekapo grows daily.
Same. Just think how depraved one must be to carry water for the psychopaths.
Agent Po probably has posters of John Brennan and Comey on his wall.
My hatred for the lying MSM and agents of disinformation like Tekapo grows daily.
I don’t hate anyone or anything, however I am bemused by the degree of power players like Tucker Carlson seem to have – they start up or rev up wild conspiracy theories, and then they do the predictable round of the usual websites, and then they wind up on here as “Truth”.
Interesting to observe. Seems the people are predisposed to believe and repeat the most outlandish unlikely cause of something, ignoring the mundane and simple explanation.
And then there are the nuts who parrot Democrat talking points as not only the truth but rational.
Meanwhile on planet reality we all see them for what they are…tools and Muppets.
Wrong about everything and incompetent beyond imagination.
It takes actual work to lie like you do.

It must be tough to watch all your fantasies that your hate of Trump is based on get repudiated one by one by the sources that conjured them up in the first place. Is it hard to accept that your entire political philosophy is based on lies from a thousand different sources.
Media Matters puppet thinks he can debate with people leagues ahead of him, has no clue how far behind and in the dark he is.
This continues to be funny.
“Seems the people are predisposed to believe and repeat the most outlandish unlikely cause of something, ignoring the mundane and simple explanation.” Tekapo
Oh you mean like your claim that Joe Biden wanted the prosecutor fired because Biden wanted more scrutiny of Burisma? Not less. That’s a classic.
3 skyscrapers were pulverized by 2 airplanes 1 Tuesday by a conspiracy of a Saudi elite, ex-CIA, on US Military-assisted kidney dialysis in a cave in opium-monopoly Afghanistan, a NORAD stand-down on the Eastern Seaboard of the Homeland and 19 coke-snortin’, strip club-frequentin,’ jihadis with magic, explosion-proof paper passports.
Simple. Mundane.
I am bemused by the degree of power players like Hillary Clinton seem to have – they start up or rev up wild conspiracy theories, and then they do the predictable round of the usual websites, and then they wind up on CNN as “Truth”.

Hey Slugger.
What are your thoughts on the recent 4 BA pilots’ deaths?
Thank you.
OG
Here is my evaluation of what I read about the 4 BA pilots, whether you want it or not. I was interested in whether anyone did a competent evaluation of the deaths.
As usual nope.
There is actually two scenarios. The first is a pilot who caught Covid 293 days ago between Britain and Houston. He was diagnosed with long term Covid. No vaxx. He has been in the hospital in Houston and recently got to go back home in a coma. He died from multiple organ failure.
The second three are disturbing. Absolutely no information what they died from, but they did recently get the jab. Did they die from clots, organ failure, stroke, heart attack? What was their history? Should they have been contraindicated, like Eric Clapton? BA is covering their ass with the government right now. Why is it that the deaths are never investigated like with Vaers? Here is the deal. If they took 40000 folks, the size of the initial experimental groups, and gave them the jabs, then took 40000 folks matched age wise, and history wise and compared the two groups, you would have a legitimate measure of the vaxx mortality.
Without that, you have the pile of political BS we are currently running under.
Again and again, the coverups and the lack of data are covering up what is really going on?
I, too, Slugger, am interested in your opinion.
whether you want it or not
Always, JAZ!
You & I don’t agree on everything but we also don’t disagree on everything.
Regardless of my opinions, your points are always structured in logic based on facts. I enjoy reading you.
Plus you are an Expert Witness vis-a-vis nursing.
Beyond that, you come across as a Really Good guy.
Nursing gives one a fundamental knowledge of what is going on with medical issues. Further research has always been a favorite of mine.
Personally, what scares me the most about Covid is how little we know about it, what few facts are in place, and how much of what is discussed is based on some “experts” conjecture. For example:
Getting the crud is like getting the flu, right? Yes.
For 99% of the folks. For the other 1% it is a nightmare.
Same with the vaccines.
A new group is forming, people who have long haul Covid. The British pilot is one, the suicide actress is another. They test negative finally after getting the crud, but the symptoms never go away, to the point of death or suicide.
Now the politicians are firing up on the next variant, Delta, and Biden sorta threatening lockdowns again.
We better figure out a way to kill this damn virus in vitro.
Thank you for the post.
Add Jimmy adore to the list of long haulers, via the vaccine. He had health issues, so followed his doctor’s rec to get the shots, and now has more problems.
He talked about it on his show, saying his doctor told him so many people are in the same boat, a few doctors are forming a clinic to treat them. Believe Dore lives in the LA area.
Jimmy Dore. Blasted auto correct.
“We better figure out a way to kill this damn virus in vitro.”
John,
Yes! And end world hunger, solve the Middle East question, and no more wars!
I don’t have any ‘inside information’ OG and I wasn’t even aware of the other three deaths, only the 60-year-old who’d been holed-up in Texas.
I don’t know how many pilots BA has got but I’d guess around the 3500-4000 mark. To have three of those die in quick succession seems highly unusual.
In BA’s defence, I wouldn’t expect them to talk about the nature of somebody’s death on Twitter whatever the circumstances but it was an odd clarification: “there is no truth that…the four deaths are linked.”
Linked to what? Each other? A virus? A vaccine?
This is where journalists are supposed to do their job but we all know that MSM exists only to push a narrative these days, not to discover and report the facts.
Thx, Slugger. If there is a correlation between being jabbed and then death from hours of high altitudes, that would be a death knell for your entire industry.
You are correct: BA denying that they are in Crisis Talks neither confirms nor refutes that they are, indeed, in Crisis Talks.
I really don’t think BA is in crisis talks about vaccinations but they obviously went to the trouble of making a social media post to refute something without actually stating what it was. It seemed a bit cagey.
If I hear anything on the grapevine I’ll let you know.
We appreciate it, Slugger. We are fortunate to have a commercial pilot in Mr K’s eclectic garden.
3 out of 4,000 in such a tight timeframe is statistically anomalous. If high altitudes are Truly a problem for the jabbed, there will be more.
An America where your kids can’t afford to keep your money: Middle income families’ disgust with Biden’s ‘twisted’ ‘death tax’ that would force many to part with their inheritance to pay the bill
* Biden’s ‘death tax’ would impose capital gains of $1million or more after someone dies
* There are more than 3million homes nationally worth at least $1 million and the number continues to rise
* The person who inherits it would have to pay 40% of the increase of the asset’s value from when it was purchased to when they received it
* It does not just apply to property – it applies to stocks and other assets, including businesses
* The Biden administration promised protections for businesses and farms but none have been confirmed
* Families who scraped to buy property in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, would be knee-capped by the proposal
* It means their kids would have to pay hundreds of thousands to the government just because the property is now worth more
* Some say it would force the kids to sell what they inherit just to be able to pay the tax on it – a ‘twisted’ and ‘disgusting’ result of a lifetime of work
* The threshold so low it could wipe out family businesses along with farmland – which has escalated in value
* The proposal is part of Biden’s American Families Plan which Congress is yet to vote on
Middle income families are lashing out against Joe Biden’s punitive new tax plan that would claim a large chunk of the amount someone leaves to their kids when they die just because it has gone up in value over the course of their lifetime.
The harsh new tax – dubbed Biden’s ‘death tax’ – is hidden in his American Families Plan and it’s receiving ferocious backlash. It proposes that when someone dies, any asset they leave behind that has appreciated in value by more than $1million since the time they bought it should be taxed.
The tax rate would go as high as 40% – double what it is now – and it applies to how much the asset has appreciate. So someone who inherited a house their mother and father paid $250,000 for but that’s now worth $2.5million would have to pay tax on the difference.

The govt. creates money from nothing, so why the need for taxation?
20 people shot in Chi, 10 in Minneapolis, 8 in Baltimore. It’s not even Sunday yet. These Juneteenth celebrations are really getting traction.
Great point re: taxation. It’s all a big shit show.

Not quite – all money “created” is created as a debt on the government.

This appears to be how they get their mitts on ALL the farmland, also.
It sure does.
This was the plan in 1971. Go fiat, let the Boomers work & succeed their whole lives and then take it.
just scour the bill for the predictable loopholes to allow lawmakers to get out of it, and do the same

yeah, that

The Truth will out. Alba can’t see patterns – the forest for the trees! When Me Gain was ascending to Royalty before the wedding, the British media made a big deal about how the first people in Britain were dark skinned. They had pictures of one specimen and everything. Alba thought this was just a coincidence.
The Lads didn’t waste the opportunity and transposed him with Me Gain on Harry’s arm.
Later on it was admitted they had no idea of what color this ancient chap would have been.
The odds on that are pretty near impossible. And the official statements are bullshit, canned responses, revealing nothing.
It will all come out in the wash. Unless a really huge cover-up is in the works.
Remember Tiffany Dover? Still no one can find her.
I tracked that down. There’s even a website dedicated to clarifying the situation: “whereistiffanydover.com” but no news or appearance after three months – from a woman who was very active on social media all through the years.
Very sinister. And frightening. Looks like the big boys are playing for keeps.

Pertinax awed the Praetorian guards with his wise Stoicism and his selfless, austere courage and love of the Roman people…right up to the point at which one of the errant Praetorian guards who didn’t want to get a pay cut and give up the good food said “Awe Fuck It!”, and then killed Pertinax anyway. Then the Praetorian guards promptly invited bids to businessmen to offer the Emperor’s throne to the highest bidder to the great horror and mortification of the Roman people. Sound familiar? Today’s Praetorian Guards are the “Deep State” intelligence agencies, right?

The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
A good historical analogy. Perhaps even extend it to the crowd of lackeys around the emperor plus the military, the legions, being analogous to theDeep State.
Yes, and I am gripped with horror and mortified. But in trying to manage my anger – which is a negative emotion to be positive, I started preparing my Dear Atilla letter. Apparently barbarians are more appreciative of calligraphy and floral patterns.
Without the resources, the “Northern Barbarians” still aspired to a more sublime level of civilization. Their amazing designs were an expression of their higher yearning.

From JHK:
Meanwhile, the infrastructure of the service economy got gutted during the lockdowns — millions of businesses bankrupted, restaurants, yoga studios, concert venues, dog groomers, shops of all kinds, you name it — gone, and a lot of the people who took livelihoods from all that are financially ruined for good.
My colleague in NYC returns full-time to his office in W 34th Street on July 1.
He says the absence of millions of office workers has made commercial districts very unpleasant, with shuttered stores, homelessness, crime, and graffiti. He’s hopeful a re-opening will improve things – assuming the current situation is reversible.
Hmmm. Part of me thinks that it would be best to let your friend know that Santa Claus is dead. But then again he most likely wouldn’t get it and it would be awkward and everything. So maybe then something along the lines of considering that its never going to go back to pre covid most probably. And too, Biden said there might be more lockdowns coming. And if not for covid, definitely for the climate.
Part of me thinks that it would be best to let your friend know that Santa Claus is dead. But then again he most likely wouldn’t get it and it would be awkward and everything.
Indeed, he is the most ardent Manhattan-praising dude – Gotham is heaven, and he thanks me little when I point out its drawbacks. He has a level of optimism that is “infectious”.
But he claims they will retire to a small regional city when he stops working … we’ll see if that happens.
More chirpiness from my NYC buddy:
There are signs everywhere of things recovering like new shops and restaurants opening and there is construction of new buildings. The economy as a whole has effectively recovered but 8 million less people working.
So everything is swell!
What in the world lol?! The economy is booming but 8 million less people are working in one city. Ok, are you high or is he lol?
I used to utter the words “it doesn’t get any stupider” in reference to offshoring America’s industrial might to China. But maybe I was wrong. Maybe I was wrong because our so called “experts” came through one more time, this time offshoring gain of function research to that sorry-ass piss-hole way over yonder where lab workers walk around with their shorts hanging out.
So can it possibly get any stupider? Just leave it to towering, self-regarding intellectuals that look down on mere mortals like us. What they don’t seem to grok is all their mighty brain-boggling theorizing is worth shit without simple common sense.
When experts in economics and finance like Greenspan and Bernanke and Yellen (and who’s that clown in the Eccles Building nowadays) walk up to the lectern to tell us what’s what I laugh. Same with any of those nit-wits pretending great depths of wisdom in foreign affairs. They leave me in stitches.
And the field of medicine hasn’t exactly covered itself in glory has it? While I wish it wasn’t the case that we’re better off going to the local plumbing supply store for medical advice, maybe it’s coming to that. Because maybe those guys in grubby coveralls have got the clearer take. Would a plumber be daft enough to contemplate making innocuous microbes lethal to humans? Would he be crazy enough to send money to labs in China to do such research?
And while you might hesitate to consult the fellow on the next bar-stool on trade policy, maybe he could do better. Seriously, could he possibly do worse? Because when one of the expert class opens his mouth, in that same instant I think “he’s lying”, before his words even register. And then afterwards I say to myself “he’s a fool”.
So you think this whole covid thing is bogus? Think for yourself. Make up your own mind.
What, you’re not an expert?
And I don’t even want to think about what happens to world geopolitics over the next few years, if it were shown to be a Chinese bioweapon, and a deliberate, well-planned release.
The offshoring of the deadly GOF research to China was just another criminal act in the Obama Administration — now the most criminal administration in US history (even outdoing Bush).
The offshoring of the deadly GOF research to China was just another criminal act in the Obama Administration — now the most criminal administration in US history (even outdoing Bush).
No – the Obama Admin banned GOF research, and did not authorise it being “off-shored” to China. True fact.
They offshored it and funded through the NIH subproject so they could continue doing it in violation of the law and scientific ethics.
True fact.
In Media Matters world, Obama can do no wrong.
The ban on GoF function was lifted by Obama in January 2017.

In 2019, the lab at Ft Detrick was shut down over concerns about contaminated wastewater.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/05/health/germs-fort-detrick-biohazard.html
They mess with all sorts of nasty bugs, including Ebola.
Guess the wastewater issue was sorted out, as the lab reopened April:

Now what could possibly go wrong?? /s
As to funding Wuhan, that was done by the NIH via Eco Alliance.
From The Lancet (Feb 2018):
On Dec 19, 2017, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced that they would resume funding gain-of-function experiments involving influenza, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. [That’s under Trump]
A moratorium had been in place since October, 2014. At the time, the NIH had stated that the moratorium “will be effective until a robust and broad deliberative process is completed that results in the adoption of a new US Government gain-of-function research policy”. [That’s under Obama]
This process has now concluded. It was spearheaded by the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) and led to the development of a new framework for assessing funding decisions for research involving pathogens with enhanced pandemic potential. The release of the framework by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), of which NIH is part, signalled the end of the funding pause.

Hmm….the ban was lifted by Fauci, who did not inform Trump.

Tekapo
Huh? Facts? You mean Fauci didn’t PERSONALLY organize the resumption of GoF research secretly, in order to unleash COVID19 so that Trump would look bad?
Your beloved Obama is a cretin and a psychopath, true fact.
Do ya think Po will check out the links above and get back to us? After Obama lifted the ban, ole Fauci made the public comment about a major infectious outbreak during Trump’s term.
I truly wish Obama had not turned out to be a cretin and psychopath; partly for the good of the country and partly because I voted for him. Twice. Just damn embarrassing to be fooled so badly.
Are there false facts?
… our so called “experts” came through one more time, this time offshoring gain of function research to that sorry-ass piss-hole way over yonder where lab workers walk around with their shorts hanging out.
I can understand (sort of) that you have to pump up animal viruses into human pathogens, so that you can do solid vaccine research, and maybe get ahead of the curve. A bit like test-crashing cars with dummies in them.
But I don’t understand how the research could have been sent off-shore after gain-of-function research was canned during the Obama Admin – because of the accidental-escape risk.
I find it amazing that they off-shore it to a lab they couldn’t control in a nation that might not be totally transparent in what they were doing, if they didn’t feel like telling the US. Or if something went not to plan.
Was this one part of the Deep State ignoring another part? I don’t think the pumped-up coronavirus was deliberately leaked – however the US and China just kicked the mother of all own-goals.
All those responsible should be held to account … but I shan’t hold my breath. They’ll enjoy rich retirements in the Hamptons or Aspen.
Was this one part of the Deep State ignoring another part? I don’t think the pumped-up coronavirus was deliberately leaked – however the US and China just kicked the mother of all own-goals.
You can’t fix stupid.
Not that we will ever truly know, but perhaps they offshored it to the lowest most technically capable bidder. And because their activities were already questionable at best at that point maybe they just weren’t all that concerned about a leak. They might have just thought if there was a leak they had lots of plausible deniability and everyone would think it was the fault of the Chinese alone. I do think there are various factions of the Elites and they probably work at cross purposes at times. And I agree, I don’t think anyone is going down for any of it unless it would be some very low on the totem pole.
They might have just thought if there was a leak they had lots of plausible deniability and everyone would think it was the fault of the Chinese alone.
I agree pretty much … what puzzles me greatly is the bioweapon possibility of it all, and whether some factions of the US Deep State (Pentagon?) believed they were heading down some path where off-shoring to China (America’s most formidable adversary by a very wide margin) was a really clever triple play. Who could possibly know?
They offshored it because it was illegal to conduct such research in the US.
Yes – and the Obama Admin were the ones that made it illegal. If the Rightwing Pentagon loonies contravened those orders, then I’m not surprised. Deep State = Republican plaything.
It was already illegal. Which is why they move it to Wuhan and continued funding it.
Because they are criminals.
Yep.
Technical arrogance is a good term. Mengela probably thought he was advancing medical science. Here it is, “scientists” egos in a secular world create monsters. Will Fauci and the virus gang be remembered as societal monsters? Probably, if everything they were doing in that lab were to become public.
Sorry MQ, I do believe those assholes weaponized a bat virus that was found in that cave by those guano cleaners and killed them. Think about the fiddling with the RNA ribosome connection that can create the spike protein. It is actually amazing. Think, though, about the genetic manipulation capability of that disclosure. Do you think they could manipulate a found virus and gird it with a spike protein that makes it much more dangerous to humans. You better believe it. Remember too, that what has made Covid different and more transmissible is the change of receptor sites from respiratory receptors to the ACE2 receptor. This change alone has made this bug many times more dangerous to susceptible folks. Instead of hooking up exclusively to respiratory receptors, this crud attacks throughout the body. Could this have been engineered by that lab and all those “scientists”. Yup!
Fauci et all need to be investigated for what they have done in that lab, what viral monsters are there. The leadership of the CCP makes the possibility of what is available right now really scary. I believe that Fauci is just a case of technical arrogance ego run wild. I also believe this release was accidental, three careless workers leaving the lab contaminated somehow.
Here is the really negative part. Once it got out, eradication of it did not become a priority. It became an experiment. Let’s see what comes of this monster’s release. Remember the Dems telling Trump that stopping Chinese immigration was xenophobic and racist. Did you ever hear a renunciation of that statement? A statement made by Biden, himself. Heck no. It became the dominant issue of the Trump loss. The Dems hooked themselves onto the monster for political gain. Makes me all warm and fuzzy that the real culprit of not stopping the initial spread of Covid is now President. I will say it outright, the Dems are responsible for the Covid impact on the US. By the time Trump cleared his head from the bogus impeachment, it was too late. Biden and Fauci should be jailed, not promoted.
Right now, the lab in Wuhan should be demolished with an A bomb. No more biological manipulation. Make this proposal, see who comes out against it, and jail them. They just finished up killing 3 million people.
MQ. You are right, it is a bad flu, an engineered bad flu that kills and cripples susceptible folks. Those engineers need to be punished. The PTB that push this research should be jailed also.
Scary thought. What else is in that lab?
Well John it sounds like the Deep State is maybe worse than the CCP. Or they are just as bad at least. I’ll have to find it but dozens of these labs like the one in Wuhan are going to be built in different parts of the world in the coming years.
Oh ffs, are you so naive you think the beltway insider bureaucrats and alphabet agencies are just GOP playthings you have your head in the sand. They work equally for both parties.
Robert Reich says the greatest danger we face is not China, but what he calls ‘proto-fascism’. IOW, MAGA is the greatest danger, although he can’t be that explicit.
Note the Russian and Japanese analogies to point out how ignorant and xenophobic we were. See, don’t worry about China, we’re ‘fusing’ with the world!
https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-greatest-danger-isn-t-060015365.html?.tsrc=fp_deeplink
China isn’t the danger. The global capitalist class is the danger. They are using China as a means to an end.
They are in cahoots. Our elite burn Care in effigy. Our elite care for us less than the Chinese elite care for their billion plus.
The Solstice is here. Record breaking temps, as John has noted. Humidity in low single digits. Have seen 2%, but so far not down to 1%.
We may go the way of the Anasazi. Is it the 50, or hundred year drought or more? Who knows. Lake Meade may become a ‘dead pool’. No rain dance, no rain. It has been spoken. The ghost of Geronimo will roam the desert and the Southwest boneyards.

Signed by a Republican. Eliminated by the Democrat Clinton.
” President Bill Clinton and Congress eliminated the “luxury tax” citing a loss in jobs.”
From the Wiki.
“In November 1991, The United States Congress enacted a luxury tax and was signed by President George H.W. Bush. The goal of the tax was to generate additional revenues to reduce the federal budget deficit. This tax was levied on material goods such as watches, expensive furs, boats, yachts, private jet planes, jewelry and expensive cars. Congress enacted a 10 percent luxury surcharge tax on boats over $100,000, cars over $30,000, aircraft over $250,000, and furs and jewelry over $10,000. The federal government estimated that it would raise $9 billion in excess revenues over the following five-year period. However, only two years after its imposition, in August 1993, at the behest of the luxury yacht industry, President Bill Clinton and Congress eliminated the “luxury tax” citing a loss in jobs.”
Hey Bud, why you citing inconvenient facts? Don’t you know Tekapo is a tax policy expert?
Climate Czar “Horseface” Kerry has a large yacht, Gulfstream V, and multiple immense houses. He wants you to ride the bus. Taxes? WTF? He’s in the club. Fair taxes are for the stupid, deplorable, little people.
Too bad he and Stormy Daniels (another horseface) don’t get to together.
Drop “Fair”.
Apparently $100 per barrel oil is right around the corner. The Dems have largely been successful in choking off supply, mostly by pressuring Black Rock not to lend the 7 Western Oil Companys any more funds for exploration or drilling. There’s a good chance some of these oil giants will be going out of business. Of course, these 7 corporations account for only about 9% of world oil production, so we’ll be importing a lot more petroleum, unless Dems and climate activists stop that too. This will bring the country to its knees. After that things will get interesting. No. 2 heating oil is how 50 million citizens in the northern states heat their houses in winter; when it becomes unaffordable, and people begin freezing to death in their houses in Bangor, Maine and Kenosha, Wisconsin, we’ll see if they’re placated by lectures on “reducing your climate footprint”, and “meeting the mandates of the Paris Climate accord.”

Maybe a good cold winter and being locked in due to unavailability of oil and gas will screw a few heads back on straight and stop the insane movement to the Left in the NE and Midwest.

The west is having a bizarre heat-wave, the likes of which I’ve never experienced. Usually, they last 3-5 days, but after nearly a week, this one is just ramping up. It’s been 99 degrees for a few days, and the forecast says it will continue at this temp then get up to 106, 107 near the end of the week.
I wonder what this is doing to crops, in a part of the country from which so much of our food comes?
Not bizarre, it’s always hot in the desert southwest of the USA during summer. Have any records been broken? I doubt it. Nobody was around to record the temps over millennia. Did the Anasazi have thermometers? Obviously you can’t grow shit in the desert without massive artificial water inputs. When the water runs out the desert southwest will revert to what it was. Never mind the insanity of the 7000 mile supply chain to bring strawberries to the wokesters in NYC from Chili.
It is hotter, for longer, and the lack of monsoons, drier now than when we moved here 17 years ago. Ask Tusconspur. The past three years have shown an acceleration of heat because there is no monsoonal flow. When it snows in October up north, it can still be in the 100s here.
The history of Native Americans in the SW shows the ebb and flow of habitable conditions here. Is history repeating? All things considered, I would not move here right now.
You’re talking long term, and of course there are shifts. I also don’t subscribe to the GND ‘climate change’ bullshit, but there is a bad drought in the west, and I think it has been engineered.
We have had that obnoxious spraying in the sky for 30+ years, and even the sun looks different. Also the record number of forest fires no one can dispute they are getting worse and worse.
Short-term, a Boise local says yes this is unusually hot. Usually in the 70s and 80s this time of year, the hot stuff comes in August.
I was wrong, July is hot and August less hot (traditionally).
“…but there is a bad drought in the west, and I think it has been engineered.”
Oh, well, of course it’s engineered. Is it DARPA? NASA? The DoJ? Who is running this dastardly plan?
Oh goody, the guy who identifies as a YouTube influencer/ flying monkey has arrived.
All information I have is above your comprehension ability. Sorry.
Agree with that. The Dust Bowl fiasco was caused by trying to ‘reimagine’ prairie that should have stayed prairie.
MQ
I have many desert plants in my yard that are sun bleaching. I have a grapefruit tree that lost 80% of its leaves from last year’s heat blast in August. Long term Phoenix trees are dying all over. A typical summer up to about four years ago was:
May. Warm up
June. White hot month, up to 120 degrees for 3 to 5 day stretches.
July. Hot at first, Then monsoonal flow increases clouds in late afternoon dropping temps to 105ish.
August monsoons. The weather channel loves showing the dust storms at the head of the thunder boomers. Flash flood watches common. We get 70% of our water from the monsoons, the entire SW.
September used to cool off in the middle of the month.
The changes in the past three years are striking. June has been cool, up to this year. Yeah, cool. Only 100 to 105. July and August which produces clouds, humidity, rain and cooler temps. have not done so, just getting as hot or hotter. Last year, August was deadly, records of the duration of days over 110 and 115 being set in Phoenix. September stayed hot, 110ish, until October. Much damage was done to the flora of Phoenix.
So far this year, we are finishing a week of over 110, with a couple of 115s.
Just re read JHKs prediction for the SW in the Long Emergency. Spot on. Heat and drought making the area untenable.
No monsoon this year, coupled with federal action cutting back the COP canal, and Phoenix may start contracting. Oh yeah, we have a nuclear plant here. Without it we would be facing brown and black outs like California and Texas.
Every jerk in the Congress should have to spend a summer in Phoenix, or Tucson, or Yuma or El Centro before they make a single decision about our five state drought.
Incredible. Thanks for sharing, John. I also watched the drought change the weather in LA over the course of 17 years. The Bay Area is now like what LA used to be like, and LA is just gross.
When I first lived in LA, I didn’t even hardly need an air conditioner, that’s how temperate it was. It could even get very cold in the winter, occassionally. And it rained a lot in the late fall and winter.
Now? 95 every day, everyone needs A/C and it hardly ever rains.
That happened in the span of 17 years.
Incredible. Thanks for sharing, John. I also watched the drought change the weather in LA over the course of 17 years. The Bay Area is now like what LA used to be like, and LA is just gross.
But of course ‘climate change is all bullshit, right?
The climate has always changed Tek. Nobody basically argues with that. It’s the theory of anthropogenic global warming that people argue about. And of course for one faction that theory is used as a weapon.
The climate has always changed Tek. Nobody basically argues with that.
A lame non sequitur SSL. You know fully well that “climate change” is used almost always to mean AGW – as I did in this case.
And I don’t ascribe to the fossil-fuel industry spin that “climate change always happens naturally and burning fossil fuels is not the cause”. It’s the same smoking-lung cancer playbook.
The issue is not to deflect the role of CO2 … the issue is what to do about energy needs for the next 25 years about it.
Yeah I do. I can’t help if others use language improperly Tek. It is a statement of fact, as simple as that. Now, human caused global warming. Ok, can we consider real, unmanipulated data please? And let’s definitely disavow ourselves of any misunderstanding. I don’t like the big fossil fuel conglomerates. At all. And also to be clear, they are the biggest investors in “green” energy and the whole global warming new green deal regulatory scheme. They wrote that whole narrative in fact and are active enthusiastic participants. Once again. The ultra rich are never going to be regulated. But the slogans and cutesy protest messages make for great theater and group think
So droughts never happened in history before fossil fuel industrialization, Poo? Is that your logic? If so, it’s wrong.
Until the AGW/Green New Deal scammers admit that the military causes more damage to the planet than anything else in existence, I will believe all their bullshit to be garbage.
They’re so desperate for you to believe it that they are now tying ‘climate change’ to racism.
And they will also convince people like you to lock yourself in your house and eat lab grown meat because cow farts bad.
Not surprising that you believe in their fairy stories. Same ol’.
BRH has proven that New England hasn’t changed, at least not where he is as far as last frost or planting season. And sea levels along the South Coast have remained constant as well.
The West seems to have changed lately? Maybe it is more changeable than the East. Both historically and now.
If the AGW crew wanted to be taken seriously, they should have not said 1) CO2 is ‘dangerous’ and they should have not said 2) cow farts are the biggest cause.
And they also should have not 3) used an autistic teenager in braids as their brand.
All stupid.
So droughts never happened in history before fossil fuel industrialization, Poo? Is that your logic? If so, it’s wrong.
I was responding to the comments from TS, JAZ, and your good self about significantly hotter temperatures caused by global warming – and not drought specifically. But high temps and low humidity lead to droughts.
And the biggest cause of the five-state water shortage is the consistently smaller snowpack in the Rockies … also a result of global warming.
Droughts and high temps also lead to forest fires. There’s a biggie right now just inland from Big Sur, east of the PCH – beautiful country normally.
If the AGW crew wanted to be taken seriously, they should have not said 1) CO2 is ‘dangerous’ and they should have not said 2) cow farts are the biggest cause.
Neither of these statements is an accurate summary of the AGW position.
1. It is the very rapid increase of CO2 in the atmosphere since 1850 that has alarmed climate scientists, and while there is debate about what the “optimal” level is, it’s undeniable that the ten hottest years have occurred in the last 14.
2. Not one climate scientists to my knowledge has ever stated that methane produced by cows is the biggest cause – in fact it might not figure in the top ten causes. The biggest cause of course is “nature” – the short-term and the deep carbon cycles. But after that it is the immense scale of fossil-fuel burning by humans.
However for global-change deniers, I’m not sure there are any arguments from “the science” that would convince you of its truth. As I say frequently, once you believe one conspiracy, you tend to fall for all of them.
The Grand United Theory – culminating in the Great Reset – is a simplistic and lazy answer to everything on the planet.
Yes, I believed that garbage until I did the real research.
Good luck with your MSM talking points, Poo. They don’t work on me.
As I say frequently, once you believe one conspiracy, you tend to fall for all of them.
“Therefore, it is imperative to Believe that people in Power never conspire and it is crazy to think that they ever would.”
So, looking at Boise climate averages, it should be:
May – 70’s
June – 80’s
July – 90’s
August – 80’s
But now they’re all 90s & 100s.
This is a big change.
This news will get Marlin riled up.
107 in Boise??! Damn. 🙁
We’ve been in the 90’s and humid the past week, Tomorrow rainy and high of 71.

He obviously believes that capital is better utilized in the hands of people like Pelosi, AOC and Bernie Sanders than in the hands of the creators in the private sector that created the wealth in the first place.
Of such insanity is the Democratic Party and the rest of the Deep State composed.
He’s a Media Matters flunky, probably paid to catapult the propaganda in comments sections where people who understand reality come to hang out. It’s their feeble, pathetic attempt to ‘influence’ the people who see right through their bullshit. As if that has ever worked.
Sorry, Poo, it only works on the already malleable. Plus, you’re not good at it.
He obviously believes that capital is better utilized in the hands of people like Pelosi, AOC and Bernie Sanders
The point of a wealth tax (not just a luxury tax) is not to increase taxes per se (although taxes should be raised to reduce deficits and debt) – but to increase compliance, making more sure that those who are liable pay up rather than evade income tax so easily.
You can hide $50m in cash easily – in a trust or the Cayman Islands – but a $50m yacht, estate, office tower, or Picasso is a bit harder.
The other goal with a wealth tax is to reduce the tax burden on the lowest 50%-70% – working families.
than in the hands of the creators in the private sector that created the wealth in the first place.
Realistically, the vast majority of serious wealth is inherited – for every Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg there are a hundred Rockefeller trust-fund babies every generation.

BRH, the mentality has infected everything and not just in the US. I loaded up a new PC game recently and had to sit through a credit screen telling me something to the effect that the developers believed in diversity and it was reflected in their programming team.
I mean, what the fuck is that all about? I just want to pass some time. It never crossed my mind that the company that coded the game was full of bigots yet there they were making sure to point out they were ‘down with the struggle’.
There are photos of black people everywhere, on new software, in ads, on Hulu, on billboards, etc.
Slap a photo of a BIPOC on things and that signals to the country that you are not a white supremacist bigot.
What “we” (they) are doing here is what I say every time someone brings this stuff up.
They are distracting you. Cloaking themselves in warm fuzzies, while they create the Global Plantation.
And what I say every time someone says “It’s a distraction from the real deal, The Great Reset for the Global Plantation” is that like an omnipotent god, it could explain everything, but actually it explains nothing. It’s blancmange.
The reality Slugoon is more simple. For the one or two on here who get their knickers in an absolute twist over these things, there are hundreds, thousands, out there who are either entirely neutral, or feel positive about the message in the game.
Corporations and government agencies – and lots of other entities including celebrities – have been talking / boasting of their diversity credentials for absolutely decades. Their social license to operate.
Being “woke” was a positive virtue for years … it has only been turned into a term of abuse with the rise of White Supremacy, White Victimhood, and the crazy proto-fascism of MAGA. While noisy and vocal like parrots, they are still very much a minority.

From Mercola (news you can trust):
“In a newly released book, members of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behavior, a subcommittee that advises the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies in the U.K., admit government is using fear to control and manipulate the population
– SPI-B, which advocated for the use of fear messaging, now says it was unethical, totalitarian and a regrettable mistake
– Aside from the barrage of bad-news-only data — which was heavily manipulated in a variety of ways — fear and anxiety are also generated by keeping you confused
– Giving out contradictory recommendations is being done on purpose, to keep you psychologically vulnerable. By layering confusion and uncertainty on top of fear, you can bring an individual to a state in which they can no longer think rationally. Once driven into an illogical state, you are easily manipulated
– Government’s reliance on behavioral psychology didn’t just happen as a result of the pandemic. These tactics have been used for years, and are increasing
Governments are using fear to control and manipulate their citizens. That has now been admitted by members of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behavior (SPI-B), a subcommittee that advises the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) in the U.K. And they should know, because they advocated for it, and now say it was a regrettable mistake. As reported by The Telegraph, May 14, 2021:1
“Scientists on a committee that encouraged the use of fear to control people’s behavior during the COVID pandemic have admitted its work was ‘unethical’ and ‘totalitarian.’ Members of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behavior (SPI-B) expressed regret about the tactics in a new book about the role of psychology in the Government’s COVID-19 response.
SPI-B warned in March last year that ministers needed to increase ‘the perceived level of personal threat’ from COVID-19 because ‘a substantial number of people still do not feel sufficiently personally threatened.’
Gavin Morgan, a psychologist on the team, said: ‘Clearly, using fear as a means of control is not ethical. Using fear smacks of totalitarianism. It’s not an ethical stance for any modern government. By nature I am an optimistic person, but all this has given me a more pessimistic view of people.’”
Psychological Warfare Is Real
The Telegraph quotes several of the SPI-B members, all of whom are also quoted in the newly released book, “A State of Fear: How the UK Government Weaponised Fear During the Covid-19 Pandemic,” written by Laura Dodsworth:2
“One SPI-B scientist told Ms Dodsworth: ‘In March [2020] the Government was very worried about compliance and they thought people wouldn’t want to be locked down. There were discussions about fear being needed to encourage compliance, and decisions were made about how to ramp up the fear. The way we have used fear is dystopian.
The use of fear has definitely been ethically questionable. It’s been like a weird experiment. Ultimately, it backfired because people became too scared’ …
One warned that ‘people use the pandemic to grab power and drive through things that wouldn’t happen otherwise … We have to be very careful about the authoritarianism that is creeping in’ …
Another member of SPI-B said they were ‘stunned by the weaponization of behavioral psychology’ during the pandemic, and that ‘psychologists didn’t seem to notice when it stopped being altruistic and became manipulative. They have too much power and it intoxicates them.’
Steve Baker, the deputy chairman of the COVID Recovery Group of Tory MPs, said: ‘If it is true that the state took the decision to terrify the public to get compliance with rules, that raises extremely serious questions about the type of society we want to become.

The public elects them.
The old excuse, justifying what they do.
The real story is that the nomination process is so fraught with corruption and money that the candidates we choose from are terrible.
Think about it.
Bush Gore
Bush Kerry
Obama McCain
Obama Romney
Clinton Trump
Trump Biden
Are these the best candidates this country can muster up?
Maybe so!!!
It would explain a lot!!!
The best presidents money can buy…… With the possible exception of Trump who entirely blindsided them with his popularity and of course the reason for 4 years of continuous bull shit.
Ummm, given what we experienced 8 months ago I’m pretty sure you mean they get “elected”. May not actually correlate with what the public did though right.
T R U M P
MAGA
GO GO
Now that’s odd. All these people on the committee being quoted about how terrible it is to use fear as a manipulative tactic, but nobody owns up to being responsible for their role in it. It was a “regrettable mistake.” Um, yeah. Well, akshually, this is an age-old tactic of governments to control their populations. Usually over matters of war, but nowadays it’s over everything, from “climate change” to “white supremacy” to “pandemics.” Get ready for more of the same.
No one does these things by accident. They should all be rotting in prison.

Nice take. Russell Brand said something similar.

The reality of the renewables market…
“A decade ago, fossil fuels accounted for just over 80 percent of final energy consumption in the world. During the last ten years, renewable energy has boomed, and installations continue to soar to record highs. But oil, gas, and coal still represent over 80 percent of final energy consumption, despite the rising share of renewable energy in the world’s total energy consumption.
Fossil fuel use around the world hasn’t retreated despite the avalanche of net-zero pledges, significantly increased support to clean energy from governments, and record-high installations of solar and wind power in recent years.
To be fair, fossil fuel use has dropped in overall global energy consumption over the past decade, but by a meager 0.1 percentage point, from an 80.3 percent share back in 2009 to 80.2 percent in 2019, a new report from REN21, a global renewable energy community advocating for a transition to clean energy, showed.”

TPTB have every intention of having a carbon footprint less than one-half of 2005’s levels while they don’t build windmills.
The only reasons we had a viable American 20th Century: The Asian Exclusion Act which stopped an endless flow of cheap Asian labor. And other legislation that basically stopped all immigration, even from Europe. Later Eisenhower kicked out the Mexicans in Project Wetback.
Teddy Roosevelt’s anti-Trust legislation. Capitalism won’t work without competition and/or control of Government. Obviously to reign in Capitalism or the Private sector, you need something that is stronger than Capitalism or the Private sector. That would be Government.
The only way we’re going to have a viable 21st Century is more immigration and control and again, breaking up the Corporations. There is nothing unnatural about Corporations – it’s simply the end stage of Capitalism. And that end stages doomed the nation in which the Corporations resides, and ultimately all nations. To not like Corporations, is to not like Capitalism. Acorns become Oak. The effect is hidden in the cause.
We should have kept this dangerous tree well pruned. If they must get big (and some naturally do since smallness doesn’t work) nationalize them or keep them on a very tight leash, like the pit bulls they are.
What are the chances of getting the Corporations under control now? Very, very slim outside of a successful Revolution. And what are the chances of a successful Revolution? Slimmer.
In 1900, there were not that many Yellows on the planet.
Now, planet yellow.
The only way we’re going to have a viable 21st Century is no immigration. [fixed that] legal or otherwise, no refugees, real or otherwise. etc.
True. I was just being moderate on that point because I emphasizing other points.
Yes, a complete mistake after all. If only we had an edit button.
And mega corporations also effectively end actual mainstreet type business since they by nature destroy small businesses. But do you mean we need more immigration or was that a typo? Immigration is destroying the environment and is increasing exponentially the loss of wildlife habitats and old growth forests. That is also something mega corporations aren’t concerned about because everything is an expendable commodity to them.
Yes, no one cares for nature anymore since the Reds took over the Greens.
What a terrible typo that was!
I forgive you 🙂

A corporation is an artificial person. It was created for one thing but has been subverted to another use. Not many understand this. If you went to B school, forget what you learned there. People ask: who owns the corporation? The usual answer is shareholders. No, technically, shareholders don’t own the corporation. The corporation itself owns all of its assets. This somnolent artificial being owns all of its assets. But being a somnolent artificial being, it has no will, it has no control of its assets. The only thing the shareholders own is an uncertain future stream of declared distributions mainly in the form of dividends. But earnings can be manipulated. Further, the distributions don’t even have to represent earnings. In other words, the racketeers who now control most corporations can treat their host with the classic “bust-out” treatment, say of a sporting-goods store like in the Sopranos. If the controllers of the corporation are immoral — & most are — say like a Bain Capital (Mitt Romney alumnus), one of the prominent innovators of the technique, then they load up the corporation with debt, fire half the employees, & work their bust-out, stiffing the shareholders & devastating entire communities. It reminds one of the John Adams quote, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” It is the same for the corporate form of capitalism. It was made in a different age, & has been mobbed up in our own age.
Alternatively, as we see today, they can subvert the corporation in another way. They can declare the corporations they control as being “woke,” & all sorts of destruction naturally follows. The corporation becomes a giant NGO wreaking havoc on the social fabric, plundering social capital, promoting the deracination & globohomogenization of their employees & patrons, & suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of a cultural revolution.
That virtual person is a psychopath. As are the controllers of the golem. And if they are are golems too, then the actual people who control them. Like Romney – who marched with BLM.

I’m surprised. I thought you’d like it. It was subjected to an “Eyesore of the month” litmus test and it passed….
It looks like the fucking Death Star in Star Wars, if memory serves.
For much more fun of this ilk, I trust you check out JHK’s Eyesore of the Month – they make the LA Movie Museum look positively Palladian.
I have seen many entries and enjoy it immensely.
Si, exacto.
Looks like something they’ll be taking a wrecking ball too in about 20 years.
Half the complex is a renovated building from the 30’s. The other is just a glass sphere. I can’t find out what is wrong with that but maybe I have blinders on.
Yes I agree – it is not crushngly offensive at all, as is everything by Frank Gehry and others.

Look at that clenched jaw. Juneteeth. The rage virus. Not just aeons behind us in evolution, but now evil as well.
Kudos the strong worker who finally had enough and gave her a beating. Hope she doesn’t face any charges.
Well, she’s definitely in the running for a Juneteenth award.
Plenty of other candidates tho, video even better than that coming in from all quarters of the country.
Take out that n. It’s teeth.
Holy sh#t I’ve had it wrong the whole time.
Seeing as how I just learned of this venerated holiday just 3 days ago I think I should be forgiven.
I forgive you and I’m sure Alba does as well.
Grammarians need not apply. Ok?
Incredible video get.
She literally thought she had the right to do that and she didn’t think she was going to jail.
Glad that worker finally beat her down. Wow.
With 8 hours to go, over 32 Juneteenth celebrants shot in Chi, 2 celebrants stabbed. Say what you want, in the City of Big Shoulders, they know how to throw a party.
In Oakland, another garden spot, 8 people gunned down at the actual, official Juneteenth ceremony. Being the first one, this will go down as a historical occasion.
Brh
You can’t make this shit up!! Wow.
Send in the clowns. There’s got to be clowns. Don’t bother, they’re there.
Blimey!
done with black people, ignorant low IQ miscreants unworthy of modernity, save for a few

same goes for low IQ white trash
Or low brow Hasidics. Settler types.
Well, seeing as you don’t feed on black people or WT, it’s should be easy to do.
Anyone read Frank Herbert’s, Hellstrom Hive? Maybe neutered females as the best workers as in the insect world. Since only work matters, maybe males should be gotten rid of except a few kept as drones for breeding.
In Britain, one female boss hated her male employees, telling them the females make fewer mistakes in the lab. One of them sued, but I don’t know how it went.
It would certainly cut down on the sexual tension if there were no males and just asexual female workers. Not very human, but the Corporations hate human life to begin with.
In his book, Consilience, E.O Wilson talked about Marxist Revolution in the insect world. A young Queen would fly up to a colony, adjust her scent to match it, waltz past the guards, kill the Queen, and take her place.
More amazingly, some would do the same – but somehow get the workers to kill the old Queen for her. Telepathy via chemical signaling? Extraordinary.
No morality. No soul.
black ape nicely programmed by decades of leftist indoctrination that whitey is inferior and to blame for her inferiority
she~d probably be a decent person sans the indoctrination
The Guardian
The drive to vaccinate all adults over the age of 18 in the UK could lead to the concentration of Covid-19 cases in schoolchildren, a leading British virologist has warned.
Under-18s would then become reservoirs in which new variants of the virus could arise, said Julian Tang, of Leicester University.
Tang was speaking as Public Health England revealed a 79% rise in one week in cases of the Delta variant of Covid, first identified in India. A race is now on between the vaccination programme and the emergence of a third wave of the virus, say scientists.
Many believe there are grounds for cautious optimism that the vaccine will hold back hospitalisations and deaths in the wake of rising case numbers triggered by last month’s partial release of lockdown measures, as well as the arrival of the Delta variant.
However, Tang sounded a note of caution. Most recent data indicates that the main focus of infections was now in the under-30s who have not yet been extensively vaccinated, he said. “The predominance of the Delta variant over the previous Alpha variant now confirms an increased transmissibility over this earlier variant – and a much higher transmissibility over the original virus,” he added.
As the Covid-19 vaccination programme progressed into younger and younger age groups, this process would drive the virus into the under-18s, who are not yet scheduled to be vaccinated. “As a result, the virus will concentrate in school-age populations, which will eventually become a reservoir and driver of any ensuing Delta variant epidemic, as well as being a hotspot in which new mutations may arise,” Tang said.
Such developments would increase pressure on the government to give the go-ahead to Covid vaccination programmes for children and teenagers, although Liz Truss, the international trade secretary, said last week she understood the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation would not be recommending such a move in the short term.
Yoho: Better the keeds be injured or killed than become reservoirs of the Delta variant. On the other hand, everyone is going to have to be jabbed for Delta and all new variants in any case. Why just talk about Delta and the keeds?
They’re trying to get rid of their outdated products on an unsuspecting public, Shame. We demand the Delta variant jab – NOW!
The intention behind the variants nonsense is to be able to jab jab jab every few months. How many people are going to be willing to get sicker than a dog a few times a year to avoid Covid19?
The idiocy is just so over the top at this point.
The brainwashing is impressive.
Chatted with a friend today based in the States, and she is a full-on New Normal.
If I bring anything of substance up, she will talk around it like it didn’t register.
The psychological aspects of it all is incredible to take in.
“are”
I have many of those friends. They really want to talk about it. They ask about my thoughts, and I tell them if I think it’s necessary, but also tell them it’s not something I really want to talk about.
Sometimes I have to say more. Usually don’t.
That’s the cult think. No outside/new/contradicting information can be allowed in.
Yes how could anyone sensible ignore Dr Tenpenny’s claim that 5G technology causes Covid-19. Sheer genius.
Funny coming from the biggest conspiracy theorist in this blog’s comment section.

And there appears to be a correlation between increasing vaccination rates and increasing Delta variant cases according to some.

The past could have been better, but now it can’t. It’s gone. Fuggetaboutit as Jimbo would say. The future CAN be better and we in the present are making that future now. The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of worlds…the pessimist fears this is true.
And therefore the optimist is a jackass.
Agree.
It requires blinders on all the time.
The optimist suffers most when the blinders are forcefully removed.
Rather be a realist.
The pessimist fears it is true only in that there may be no better options with what the people have left at their disposal.
Haven’t had enough?

I like to think that the PTB exposed themselves too much… we’ll see.
I guess everyone heard the Texas guvnor vow to build the wall. And about De Santis sending cops to help police the Texas and Arizona borders.
This is the stuff that starts to happen when the reach of the federal government shortens. People take matters into their own hands.
Now, I know that the American nomenklatura are generally on board with the prevailing business agenda of desperate and impoverished workers settling for low wage – no wage arrangements, which is the whole point of open borders.
But there’s others that may read the tea leaves somewhat differently. You know, the MAGA types. And people like in Kansas that stopped buying Republican bullshit. And the odd politician with his ear to the ground.
It is entirely possible that Abbott and De Santis are just posturing having learnt the Democrat playbook of all talk and no action. But what they’re dealing with is explosive stuff, going to the basis for nationhood – control of a patch of land. It isn’t rocket science, with no boundaries there’s no control. And to people not cretinized by higher education, this is about survival.
Time will tell. Power hates a vacuum. Watch for things to happen just like in the Middle East inside the carcass of the expired Turkish Empire. As authority disappeared with the demise of Saddam and as national borders dissipated, a lot of jostling of the high velocity type to re-establish governance. You know, ambitious tough guys with guns wanting to run things. And that means boundary lines. One way or another they will draw those lines.
The question is, who will do it in America’s case? Will it be America’s pre-existing sub-national governments? Or will it be something entirely new, maybe people from outside the borders exerting their will and their muscle? Or maybe people from inside the borders, previously outsiders to the political process.
You can liken this to Vesuvius. The mountain is grumbling said the locals around Pompeii and Herculaneum. And many others scoffed. And the Roman governors said yes but don’t worry, the mountain always grumbles. Something like America. It always grumbles. But then Vesuvius blew its top.
I guess everyone heard the Texas guvnor vow to build the wall. And about De Santis sending cops to help police the Texas and Arizona borders.
Just some grandstanding by a couple of ambitious dudes who either want to ensure re-election, or perhaps have set their sights higher for a run in 2024?
Another great comment.
This crash of civilization is coming. It’s in the process, and that process is speeding up.
Cue the desperate posers and people trying to get theirs before the crash-landing.
I don’t trust Abbott or Desantis. No one in power cares about anyone but number 1 at this point. It was designed that way, and thus the inevitable crash. And Americans STILL have not learned not to make heroes of one person. Until they do, there is no helping them. Until they take up their own power, and use it, we’re dead in the water.
This crash will be spectacular and chaos will reign for awhile.
The best anyone can do is prepare for it.
And Americans STILL have not learned not to make heroes of one person.
Indeed – a system based on presidents and governors with too many powers in one office is rarely the best form of governance. And with Abbott and DeSantis being radical idiots … well, always a poor combo.
This crash of civilization is coming. It’s in the process, and that process is speeding up.
The more paranoid in every generation claim that this is the time for The Big One … “The End is Nigh” on a sandwich board.
But what happens is they just grow old and disappointed. All those crazy preppers out there – their food going bad, their batteries going flat, their gardens turning to shit, and the wife and kids getting really sick and tired of it all. Sad.
About half of what you say is pure gold.
I’ll add a note.
EVEN IF Armageddon was to happen first thing tomorrow morning , it would be like the reality of battle.
And the reality of battle is that Rambo is a bullshit Hollywood fantasy.
The reality is that two – thirds die . And who lives and who dies is shear luck. —- And that’s in a battle you WIN !
But then Americans , I suppose , wouldn’t know that.
The last and only time the U.S. was genuinely involved in a total war was the middle of the 19th Century.
This crash will be spectacular and chaos will reign for awhile.
… your paranoia really is getting very very tiresome and dull. Up there with OGH and Night Owl – the ultra-paranoid bed-wetters.
We are the healthiest, best-educated, best-paid, best-fed, and best-rewarded generation that has ever lived on the planet, and you’re still shitting your panties every day. Why on earth do you?
I can only assume you’re all Catholics, and you’re consumed by guilt and the desire for self-flagellation. Just fucking relax … or at least take your paranoia off the forum. Everyone would be much happier.
— And half is total shit .
” We are the healthiest, best-educated, best-paid, best-fed, and best-rewarded generation that has ever lived on the planet, ”
That might have been true of , say , 70 % of the population , in Western Europe and North America ….. in 1975.
If it is even remotely true now , then why the fuck are you even on CFN ?
How about making a habit of trashing our host and moderator instead of the small fry ?
” …. you’re still shitting your panties every day. Why on earth do you? ”
I would heartily agree —
IF you mean Pearl Harbor was a bullshit pretext ??
IF you mean that the military Industrial complex and American Empire was a ruinous and dishonest aberration and clusterfuck ??
IF you mean the Cold War was a fraud , the Soviet Empire was already broke and couldn’t even feed itself ??
IF you mean that AIDS was a gross exaggeration ??
IF you mean Pedo Witch Hunts were a gross exaggeration and hysteria ??
IF you mean the reaction to 911 was pure hysteria??
IF you mean that the invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan was the most stupendously stupid piece of military practice since Galliopoli or the Crimean War ??
IF you mean that a fatality rate of less than one in a hundred in no way adds up to a pandemic ??
Otherwise , you just look to me like another talking head with a new and different crisis every single week ,
and yet another case of the pot calling the kettle black ??

Quick Quiz – who said this Sunday:
“Happy Father’s Day to all, including the Radical Left, RINOs, and other Losers of the world. Hopefully, eventually, everyone will come together!”
Who the fuck would ever say that?
That’s stupid, Jo.
The average American ?
Granted , the labels for the hypothetical others that are to be blamed for everything might be a little different.
It’s blame everything on a cabal of Pedo Gay Bolsheviks.
When it has never been more popular to bash pedophilia ,
when anyone who has ever ACTUALLY set foot in a Gay and Lesbian Student Union , for example , knows the LGBTQ lobby is a total joke.
And when nobody except rich people has taken Karl Marx or Vladimir Lenin seriously in 70 years .
And , of course , you out-number those wacko rich people a hundred to one.
But the formula is exactly the same , whatever the claimed politics.
Let’s look at the opposite example.
A cabal of Imperialist racist misogynists is to be blamed for everything.
Typically they don’t actually use the word Imperialist , because that would confuse people who have gotten their knowledge of such things entirely from the 3rd Grade Level Mainstream media.
They use instead the term capitalist. Well , the genuinely nationalistic capitalists ( i.e. Imperialists ) have all been dead at least 80 years.
The wacko capitalists that are left are , again , a wealthy portion of the population that you out – number a hundred to one.
The racists with any status or pull have likewise all been dead at least 80 years.
After that , it is pretty much blaming the 15 members of the American Nazi Party for everything from global warming to the price of salmon in Alaska.
Then there’s the misogynists. ” Men rule the world ” ?
90% of the population of men on planet earth are ditch – diggers and fruit – pickers who don’t rule anything.
If they are single and live with mom and dad , or are married , then they don’t even rule their own household typically.
And any man stupid enough to buy into the , ” Men rule the world ” – meme is so stupid as to present hardly any sort of obstacle even to a ten year old girl.
And there’s your list of the usual suspects.
Everyone EXCEPT the average person who rubber stamped all this shit for 60 years , and typically still is .
Granted , I am NOT familiar with the individual biographies of every CFN regular.
So , MAYBE we have a surprisingly huge percentage of peculiar exceptions to the rule ?
Otherwise , typically , people will sit there with a strait face and make out like they didn’t endorse any of this , when in fact they spent 50 years endorsing precisely this.
” Remember
I do
You said it wasn’t worth fighting for. ”
I can’t figure out who you were addressing , or replying to.
No matter , the shoe fits me.
And my reply is ;
Please do remember.
Remember that I wasted 40 years of my life telling White Americans that stigmatizing Germany and the Confederacy was a really rotten idea , and that it would boomerang on you eventually.
That there is not one sin you can lay at their door that you can’t just as well lay at your own door.
With the exception of the German extermination of Jews , which was a minor affair , which the Nazis were able to get away with because nobody at the time , including the Americans , British , or Russians really cared about.
You spent 70 years stigmatizing Germany and the Confederacy in order to legitimize the military – industrial complex and American empire . And to gloss over the sins of the same.
Likewise I wasted 40 years of my life warning White Americans that the military – industrial complex and the American empire don’t give a fuck about you , may even be your active enemy.
Finally , Confederate monuments were put up by loved ones to honor loved ones who got their heads blown off for the sake of loved ones.
Trashing all of that proves there is nothing here worth fighting for.
No way in hell would I , for example , get my head blown off for the sake of others , knowing full well that those others may in ten years time freely vote to trash my name and memory for the mere sake of transient popularity and transient riches.
I stand 100% behind the statement that you sons of bitches are not worth fighting for.
Well certainly. Help yourself to the entire wardrobe if you wish. Make yourself comfortable while your here. Thank you for sharing how you feel. I can appreciate it. But I also then expect you not to complain about the disarray and despair surrounding you when you have relinquished your stakes in the game. And then again, part of me can’t blame you. After all, you really do want to remember. So yes. Let’s view that dreamscape through the lens of 5,000 years. And perhaps then you’ll remember that current affairs is nothing substantively more than a procession of invasions with a different master for a time and times. And did you so easily forget that water finds the path of least resistance. Did you expect the laws of physics not to apply to the behavior of human animals all the same? So it is always the norm. The colonial revolutionaries were but 3% of their population? So finding someone to give a fuck in any given historico-political situation is not quite as easy a task as you appear to imagine. But I accept your chastisement nevertheless. Though I don’t empathize particularly when one cries out in deep angst in their affliction meted out by the Emperor’s court when they left the fight to stop the Emperor from usurping the throne. I also did not write anyone off nor do I plan to. Sometimes the one others imagine is your mortal enemy is in reality your closest friend. A beautiful yet strange subtlety of life and war.
How trying to stop the emperor from usurping the throne adds up to leaving the fight , I can’t say.
It strikes me as an utterly illogical claim.
Like claiming that two plus two equals minus two , minus two.
I’m loathe to call someone incoherent , especially given it is an old sophomoric trick to do so.
Except in this case it is genuine.
The above example will serve for the rest.
HOW the fuck DOES trying to stop the emperor from usurping the throne add up to leaving the fight ???
My guess would be you can’t give a credible answer.
A possible word of advice ( ? ) :
Go back to prose.
Your poetry , if that is what it is , is incoherent.
Precisely 256 words of pure SSL voodoo. And 256 is a perfect number for the digital age: 2^2^2^2, or if you prefer 16^2. What symmetry indeed. Meaning free at last!
I think almost nothing about historical European America (USA) is worth fighting for and only something nearly entirely new would be worth fighting for.
Not too long ago (1940’s), several southerners wrote about the american civil war as a war of “agrarianism” against industrialism (book called “I’ll take my stand”). I sympathize entirely with a fight against industrialism, which has done us in, but the southern states were not mentally up for the fight.
Extermination of jews has become all the nazi regime is remembered for, 100%, to our detriment, because (Yohannon on here is right), Europe and the USA are falling apart now for many of the reasons nazis sought to combat, though i think the nazis were just as doomed, flawed and not-truly-up-to-the task as southerers in the USA confederacy were to their industrialism opposition (which existed more in the hindsight of writers in the next century than in confederates of the time).
Dr. Peter McCullough said, “We have now a whistleblower inside the CMS, and we have two whistleblowers in the CDC. We think we have 50,000 dead Americans. Fifty thousand deaths. So we actually have more deaths due to the vaccine per day than certainly the viral illness by far. It’s basically propagandized bioterrorism by injection.”
