We step back from the disorders and idiocies of the moment to wish Bob Dylan a happy 80th birthday. He entered the scene in a previous moment of national disorder, the Sixties, as we call that wild era when we Boomers came of age and turned the world inside out for a while, flinging our ids into a raging zeitgeist. Bob was actually a little older, not quite a boomer, born seven months before the US entered World War Two.
This is important because he was poised perfectly on the front end of that breaking wave in a particular way that I will try to explain. When he stole into New York City from his Midwest Nowheresville in the winter of 1961, he was unformed, ambitious, intelligent, cunning, and not yet grown up. He did his growing up in public over the next decade. He acted it out in the songs he wrote. It was the essence of what he meant to those of us who trailed behind him. He instructed us in the mystery of what it means to come through adolescence into consciousness, and he did it with a matchless artistry that, once he got traction, made his competitors look barely adequate. It’s easy to understand how being cast in that role irked him, but that’s how it was.
It was Bob who turned the long-playing record album into the art-form of my generation. Before that, the pop music scene in America just amounted to different sorts of adolescent fluff, clichéd hormonal yearnings of boys and girls for each other. It was a long way from the Everlys’ “Wake Up Little Susie” to Bob’s “Visions of Johanna.” He was twenty-four when he wrote it in late 1965 (and then recorded it in February, 1966). Twenty-four is about the age when the judgment region of the human brain finally develops, and the song spells out vividly the jarring wonder of becoming a fully-equipped adult — and recognizing it! The subject of the song isn’t a girl anymore, she’s a woman, with such cosmic ramifications that “the ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face.”
Lyrics like that — and Bob generated them by the bale then — just made everybody else’s songs seem a little lightweight and silly. The Beatles came close around exactly the same time with their venture into songs of full-fledged adulthood in the album Rubber Soul, but they were not able to bring the focus of a single sensibility to it the way Bob did, and they knew it.
Anyway, Bob had been leading up to that for years lyrically. He had a comfortable childhood back in Minnesota, but it was a harsh place. He absorbed that and summed it up with dazzling concision and specificity in songs like “North Country Blues” about a failing family in a failing town where the iron ore mines are shutting down and there is no such thing anymore as the future. Similarly, “The Ballad of Hollis Brown,” which is the story of a despairing farmer who kills himself and his family of six out on the lonesome South Dakota prairie. These were stories about other people and other lives, reportage from the scene, with more resonance than Walter Cronkite could ever hope to bring to it.
When Bob wrote about himself and his own strange journey, more and more he populated that dreamscape with a hallucinatory cast of characters: dwarves, madonnas, hermit monks, cowboy angels, drunken politicians, Napoleon-in-Rags, the mystery tramp…. Imagine how weird it was to be Bob in those few years. He barely had to struggle to become famous, was rolling in dough before he was twenty-five, and had every jerk-off workaday Johnny journalist tugging at sleeve whenever he left the house begging him to explain how the world worked. No wonder he played cute with them, claimed he was “just a song-and-dance man,” when everybody knew better. And amazingly, he pulled it off.
Once he completed that transformation into adulthood, he had pretty much done his duty, and everything after that has been a long coda, with not a few flashes of the old brilliance like these stupendous lyrics from his 1985 song “Dark Eyes”:
A cock is crowing far away and another soldier’s deep in prayer,
Some mother’s child has gone astray, she can’t find him anywhere.
But I can hear another drum beating for the dead that rise,
Whom nature’s beast fears as they come and all I see are dark eyes
Sounds like what’s going on ‘out there’ right now, don’t you think? He deserved that Nobel Prize. I’m glad he’s persevered through all these years and still goes on stage and keeps putting out tunes. I met him once back in 1975 when I worked for Rolling Stone Magazine. It was after a benefit concert in San Francisco in the Fairmont Hotel. I couldn’t help greeting him like an old friend, and was foolishly surprised to realize that he didn’t know me from a hole in the wall. Anyway, I’m glad we shared these decades together on this marvelous planet and I salute him on his birthday for what he gave that has lived inside me all these years.

An excellent tribute. Thank You.
It was very nice, wasn’t it?
Hear hear!
Excellent, Yes
Very well done, thank you.
The pump don’t work cuz the Vandals stole the handle…
Forever young!
http://www.got-truth.com/docs/Forever%20young.pdf
The party of President Biden,
(1) child drag queens
(2) “drag queen storybook hour” for children at local libraries
(3) sexually explicit material as required reading in grade schools
(4) children as young as 8 being allowed to lop off their genitals because an instagram “influencer” told them they were “assigned the wrong gender” at birth
(5) abortion on demand for minors with no parental consent
(6) “transgender” education starting in kindergarten
(7) the abolition of the nuclear family because mommies and daddies are “oppressive”.
etc
Big Pharma wants those patients for life.
Now they are vaxxing the kiddies for a virus that died out last year and some will die or be maimed, guaranteeing even more patients for life.
MaryV
As long as the Side effects and deaths from vaccines are much less than the actual disease, the vaxx attack will continue. Little by little, the herd immunity will take over. The decline has already started.
Good news. Texas is banning critical race theory in the schools. Yay! Now if the Reds follow, it will die in force. Let the psycho cities
Have their race baiting.
They aren’t, with children.
Karl Denninger has an inspired rant on that topic today.
Stop The Death Cult
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=242492
One comment, he said that the spike protein showed up in the blood of one quarter of the one hundred person group
????
I certainly hope so, that is the purpose of this vaxx. In two weeks, three quarters of the immune systems had already eliminated the spikes. Where was the data point at three, four weeks to see what continued to happen.
When I was in nursing school, we were required to take a statistics course that tipped you off on bogus studies. Most happen because the experimenter has a bias on results expectation. Most studies are bogus. When it does not happen as expected, funding gets cut. So, many exercises in cherry picked data occur to spin the results.
This is a good summary rant, BoA, but I would add to it the things that should have been done by Big Pharma, but are not being done because of potential liability.
I wonder how many of us are aware that computer hackers who also have diabetes have already created working artificial pancreases? That’s right–For several years now, it has been possible to link an insulin pump to a diabetes monitor so that a diabetic can have the same insulin characteristics as a non-diabetic.
Hobbyists did this with no government grants by voiding warranties with their soldering irons and getting together to build their rigs. They work, and they work right now.
And the response from pump and meter manufacturers? They engineer their new meters so that the connections are more difficult, because they are afraid of possible lawsuits.
Read more about it here, for example:
https://www.bcdiabetes.ca/welcome-to-loop/
You may have to bypass the study signup link to get to the text–Unless you are a diabetic living in British Columbia, Canada, which seems to be helping people get this working for themselves.
Sorry if I have violated the genteel, polite tone of this blog, but I am completely furious about it.
Read the article, John. The thing is a disaster from a to z. These people deserve the death penalty.
Have you lived in abject terror your entire life, or only recently?
Who is living in terror here? Not me, I got jabbed, I do not wear a mask, I did something pro-active to obsolete a threat.
You seem to be very afraid of the effects of a vaccine that by a vast majority, will not even affect you at all.
Who is living in fear? Not me.
My only “fear” is what this push for an untested vaccine is being used to usher in a totalitarian system where you have to meet certain government “requirements” before being allowed any freedoms.
I see young Americans forced to labor with rags on their faces, still, because of the fear tactics used to scare people into getting a shot that most do not need.
Right now “the unvaccinated” are sitting in workplaces with their breath restricted.
Rod Rosenstein’s sister colluded with Randi Weingarten, to dictate that American children will not receive their entitlement to an education, unless they get a vaccine that to them is stratospherically more dangerous than a virus, or else be smothered in a germy rag all day!
That isn’t fear of a damn vaccine! That’s the guts to stand up to oppression, and guess what? The brains to see what’s going on here!
The fearful ones are still pretending it’s about a virus.
JAZ you bet we’re living in fear.
Fear of being unemployable, unless we submit to a fucking EXPERIMENTAL gene therapy poison. It’s NOT a vaccine.
I’m fearful of losing my ability to work, here. This is a LEGITIMATE threat. I just posted how OSHA now won’t protect the unvaxxed any more from employer demands.
Businesses are practicing MEDICINE without a license. This is FASCISM. This is EUGENICS in action. That you refuse to acknowledge it means you live in woo woo fairytale land.
If you aren’t worried, then there is something wrong with you.
No fear?
Here in Germany they are about to make the experimental shots mandatory for children, after terrorizing them with a year of masking and self testing.
And they just annouced a “green passport” for travel, after claiming they wouldn’t.
Fuck you and every person who aided and abetted this hoax.
If Nuremberg II rolls around, I want you on the list, too. Spineless coward.
@Night Owl I am astounded and disgusted that people still don’t see the hoax.
And that Germans are willing to re-create the Holocaust and learned nothing from it.
Governors who get hailed as heroes for not having vaxx mandates or passports but then allow businesses to require them are weasels. They know exactly what they are doing.
And they are allowing unelected corporations and institution heads to practice experiments on the populace under coercion.
This is fucking war crime. Why is anyone defending it??
Mary, many Germans are not, unfortunately we have several WEF prodigies who somehow “emerged” into key positions (surprise, surprise) and are simply passing laws, including changing the German Constitution twice nearly spontaneously and with no oversight.
Most of the population is against what is happening here, but the levers of power are in the hands of those who some believe are fictional movie villains with no power whatsoever.
We are one decision away from moving to Switzerland, that being the forced vaccination of children.
This is the greatest crime in history, not just for what is about to happen, but for what is to come.
@Night Owl, and also what has already happened, which destroyed so many lives, businesses and our entire way of life.
In any case, a tipping point is approaching, one way or another.
Why the rush for “vaccination” to prevent a virus that has a 99.7% survival rate? Simple question.
When asked, no one has an answer. It’s as if they never thought about it – which they haven’t.
Must be asking the wrong people…
Why have flu shots? Because people do not want to get the disease in the first place. Same with Covid.
Older people were afraid of dying from Covid and statistics bore out their fear.
People do not want to get sick! Mortality does not even enter the equation for most people. Especially when the vaccine has better results by magnitudes of orders than getting the disease.
We hear for decades about how the flu eats up national productivity due to absence from work, or school. Covid is worse, it infects more people easier. Flu shots were developed to help folks not get the flu. And it historically works. Covid vaccine development was accelerated as a panic reaction due to the production of BS from the CDC and its impact on the elderly.
The Covid vaccine was brought out quickly because it WAS killing older folks at a significant rate. Should have it been limited to older folks upon release? Not in our new Liberal world where the government yearns to control our lives. Personally, I believe that the elders should have been given the initial lots, data gathered and decisions made on dissemination to younger folks.
Not in this country right now, Big Pharma and the Biden mob made sure of that.
Also, bad news…. OSHA was gotten to. Our protections from Big Pharma are being removed.
https://www.stltoday.com/business/local/osha-wont-enforce-ruling-on-counting-vaccine-reactions-as-recordable-injuries/article_0da29162-9c3c-5746-83cc-2204664b7e9f.html
So John – any chance these horrible people might have lied about the statistics? The case numbers, the death numbers, the effectivity rate of the vaccines, the death and injury numbers from the vaccines, etc. You know, like everything?
The Ticker Guy answers questions about his posts.
Even the CDC admitted last year that only 6K people died of only Covid19.
And then there are the hundreds of thousands of deaths by other causes that doctors got paid to call Covid19. No shortage of nurses and others calling it out.
But mainstream media is directed by the people who have taken over, so it’s not reported.
Y
Maybe?
I watch one thing. The first order effect. The surges, why have they happened? Why are there surges then level offs? Not just here, Europe, India, China.
We get no help trying to get answers. That is why I too am suspicious of the PTB of stirring the pot.
Trump realized that the surges happened without control and spent his time working the vaccine side, a good decision whether agree with the executions of the plans or not.
Surges are not lies, they are documented in hospitalizations and deaths. A death of a compromised patient because the virus attacks them is a death caused by the virus, if it has not been there the patient would still be alive.
Surges are real, the virus is real, the virus is being manipulated horribly by the PTB.
Think about this, what would have happened in the US if the control methodologies and the vaccines had not been brought on, what if it had been allowed to go full bore on. India?
No thanks!
JAZ, ask yourself why people are now afraid to get sick when they weren’t 14 months ago.
WHY.
Another question, JAZ, why is OSHA caving on holding businesses liable if they force someone to get the jab and that person is disabled?
It isn’t, though.
NO kids got sick or died from Covid19.
But they are experimenting on them anyway.
Sad to see you on the side of Big Pharma and their profit at any cost agenda.
One of the most prominent virologists in France, the man who discovered HIV says the virus was manmade and that Corona vaccines are creating Corona variants that are deadly.
TBH, if he ends up correct, I have no sympathy for the affected. They have aided and abetted one of the greatest crimes in history.
Third try for the link.

This is interesting:
https://www.cracknewz.com/2021/05/federal-law-prohibits-mandates-of.html?m=1
All college students and their parents need to be aware of this.
I saw that the other day, but didn’t watch it yet, so thank you.
I have zero sympathy for the vaxxed adults, either. They had the better part of a year to do their homework and instead spent it acting like Karens on steroids, judging and attacking their neighbors and torturing their kids.
The kids though – THAT upsets me no end. If this guy is correct, think of all the kids left homeless. That is, if they aren’t vaxxed and the parents are.
@abby thank you! Putting it in the vault.
Don’t think they won’t try to change the law, though. Look at what OSHA did.
Interview with Reiner Fuellmich:
https://odysee.com/@tassietigertalks:4/Reiner-Interview-23.05.2021:8?r=B3ZgyQxA6iuWgDeW3jLAqfHVkHT3p5bd
Fuellmich never ceases to impress. He is one of the best possible individuals to be leading the charge.
What I appreciate is that he focuses on the provable facts from a legal perspective, but clearly indicates that he understands the plan.
His interviews should be required viewing.
@Night Owl, I also have nothing but contempt for anyone who is pro-testing this experimental poison on children.
They have lost all credibility and their minds.
God bless my native Texas.
> Big Pharma wants those patients for life <
Hope that's an accurate quote, because The System now oddly doesn't let me comment or quote inline.
I'd say The Situation is quite a bit direr than what's suggested in the above quote, though the estimable, extemely well-spoken GA- as one example- should soon be along very soon to fully disabuse All of such notions..
How sweet that you missed me when I was minding my own business.
“[…]the estimable, extemely well-spoken GA […]”
My grovelling apologies. This is the mischief you find when you take the children of the post-war hoi polloi (who left school at 14), put them through the 11-plus, and allow them to benefit from 7 years in grammar school. Should never have been allowed.
I blame the parents. Or the government. Somebody, anyway.
“[…] should soon be along very soon to fully disabuse All of such notions..”
I doubt I’ve ever disabused anyone of anything. But it never ceases to amaze me how often you can say some things, yet some people will continue to speak as if you’d never said them, according to some template they have in their head of things you are presumed to believe.
Big Pharma has been The Devil since I emerged into adulthood. I treat them much the way I would treat a second-hand car dealer. That is, I don’t much trust them as a group, but I will buy their product when I judge it is in my interest. And I know that those very long lists of hypothetical side effects on the folded paper aren’t there to protect me, but to cover them against my hypothetical lawyers.
I take an oestrogen blocker to help prevent my cancer coming back. With the oestrogen blocker, plus the radiotherapy, the chance of it coming back is down around 5%. I’m OK with those odds, so I’ll take the oestrogen blocker that Big Pharma is no doubt happy to sell me (via the NHS).
Same with the vaxx. I’ve looked at the odds, at my age, and my risk factors, and I’ve taken the vaxx.
I don’t even think my daughters should take it. I’d be horrified at the thought of my grandson being given it. But I’m OK with my own decision, while monitoring the situation generally.
I don’t want anyone to take it if they don’t want it, and I don’t want either hard or soft coercion to persuade anyone to take it, let alone any kind of sanction if they don’t.
I hope I’ve covered everything. Not that it will make the slightest difference the next time.
I doubt I’ve ever disabused anyone of anything. But it never ceases to amaze me how often you can say some things, yet some people will continue to speak as if you’d never said them, according to some template they have in their head of things you are presumed to believe.
Pot … Kettle.
Kettle … Pot.
We have what you said on record.
You can pretend words don’t mean what they mean as much as you like, Humpty Dumpty.
You have one ambigous sentence on record … and you will not take the authour’s clarification … and who gives a shit?
I didn’t find it ambiguous at all, but I do realise you wish you hadn’t been quite to forthright and will endlessly try to walk back from what you said. Perhaps it will teach you to think before you speak.
“Ooh look, annoying lady is giving me pissy postnominals when I wanted that to be entirely my prerogative, because I know everything.’
Diddums.
I don’t give a shit if you found ambiguous or not, GA. It was. I am the authour, surely I am allowed to clarify my own anbiguity!
And I am the author of all I write on her, yet you took the liberty of making multiple statements to the gallery regarding things I had never said.
Because you are like that.
I acknowledge that you apologised for that, but it would have been better if you’d weaned yourself off your love of the sound of your own voice earlier and LISTENED instead.
You also made false assumptions about the earlier matter, but I think we’ve all had enough of that.
Agree. Even the Covid19 catastrophe is only ONE of the attacks on humanity now.
Geoengineering, the destruction and poisoning of the biosphere, and they are leaving lots of hints that they will be pulling some sort of new ‘live event’ my guess is UFOs or something (DARPA has quite an arsenal of stuff that people wouldn’t believe exist).
Here was a little toe in the water. They claimed it was the Space X launch from Vandenberg – 200 miles away – riiiiight. I think it was a test. Just like AIDS was the test for COVID19.
It’s amazing what a few billionaires can pull off.

The main place where the trans target are girls in the early stages of puberty. “Lucky” girls develop early, and their chests show it very markedly. Later girls really suffer in school, and trans advocates feed on it. Early childhood trans is so sick it should be criminal.
We couldn’t have a boy, so we will make one. Sick psycho parents.
Kids do not even type onto their same sex parent for modeling until the startup of hormones around age 7 or 8.
Trans psychology is a sickness. Drag queens in elementary school and writing books to encourage trans psychology are symptoms of a pervading sickness in our society.
I read in Deuteronomy that God says that men dressing as women and vice versa is an abomination. In the early years of Man, we know what God did to abominations.
While I think the media giving a loudspeaker to unhinged people accounts in a large part for a lot of this focus on transgenderism. And the impressive amount of cowardice our educational system and government have shown hasn’t helped.
I do think there are some people (and I don’t pretend to know what percentage) that this is real. The reason I say this is b/c of all the endocrine disrupters pregnant women are exposed to and the evidence this has a cumulative effect. That doesn’t mean I think men should be allowed in girl’s bathrooms or to compete in women’s sports. Babies are born either XY or XX — I just wonder if these chemicals have a feminizing effect.
Atrazine is an endocrine disruptor, sprayed all over corn, lawns and golf courses. As a result, I expect hormone imbalances are much higher among the US population now than 100 years ago. Same with neurotoxins (e.g., glyphosate) and cognitive disorders. Then we’re deluged with propaganda telling us that gender is just a “construct”. We are intentionally being twisted into a macabre new sick and sterile organism.
I don’t understand where the idea that gender is a construct came from & what purpose it could serve. What’s wrong with there being 2 sexes? That’s what’s kept the human race going after all.
In our everyday diet is a high level of corn. It’s fed to all the livestock, in a lot of snack food & also hidden as corn syrup in a variety of foods. We’re probably getting more than we suspect.
Remember the theory that the Roman Empire ended because the Romans ate and drank from lead-lined plates, glasses and utensils, thus causing widespread brain damage and madness?
Hmm. You think that’s what’s happening today with all the chemicals we’re ingesting? It would explain a lot. Maybe in 1,500 years future historians will marvel at the end of the great American Empire because we willingly poisoned ourselves. And maybe self-pollution is why empires die in general.
I will argue that gender IS a construct, sex is not.
Sex is (mostly) binary, despite a teensy part of the population who are intersex. Which is also not a gender.
There are potentially 7 billion genders! According to the logic of the trans agenda folx.
@beantownbill — I think, and have no way of proving, there’s a lot more polluting the soil and water than we understand. It’s only been since the end of WW2 that wide spread use of nitrogen fertilizer has been used on crops and big agribusiness got going. And what have we seen? Explosions in obesity and all the problems that go with it. I’ve never heard of any studies that link artificially adding nitrogen is different than naturally occurring nitrogen (such as composted soil) and its effect on human bodies. And maybe there is none.
Our water supply can’t be tested for everything and it’s also being doused in some cities with chlorine and added flouride. I spent several years growing up in Lubbock, TX where the fluoride level in local water is naturally high. The dentist who got the idea to add it to toothpaste had lived there and of course, it was a big success. But is there a difference in the way our bodies process the natural flouride as opposed to artificial? I don’t know.
It’s only been fairly recently too that the harmful effects of BPA have been acknowledged and people warned against heating plastic. Teflon is in all our bodies and has even been found in fish. Yes, I think we’re poisoning ourselves, slowly but surely.
@sw
The natural occurring fluoride is calcium fluoride the man added version is Sodium fluoride which is toxic.
@SW, it’s Post Modernism bullshit started by Judith Butler, among others… the PTB saw a way to use it to their advantage as yet more social engineering.
@ Mary — didn’t do anyone any favors, did she?! Added to kids natural confusion and anxiety about adolescence and here we are.

As Mark Twain once said, “there isn’t a nickles worth of difference between the two parties” as they party on, so the only thing left to do is join them or fight them.
This has been going on for years, clear back to Reagan and his appointee to head the high court Sandra Day O’Conner, who came out of nowhere to make the attack on religion and usher in the gay right movement and both parties have been stanch supporters of it ever since
Malthus, Teen Vogue, a magazine for 12 to 17-year-old girls, is running a series on “practical magic.” The latest article instructs them on the use of menstrual blood in casting spells. They’ve also recently run an article instructing them on the techniques of anal sex. It apparently had to be revised because the earliest one didn’t even caution about the necessity of using condoms. I don’t understand why their offices haven’t been fire bombed yet.
B/c, sir, they’re “cutting edge”!! Just like WAP by Cardi B is Song of the Year on PBS. Ya gotta see it to believe it —
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10cRNiXlWRQ
Yes, in a few decades we’ve gone from Dylan, the Beatles, Jim Morrison to Cardi B.
That’s beyond vile.
Right? It’s almost a parody of itself.
This might be even worse. And the ‘music’ just as bad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6swmTBVI83k&ab_channel=LilNasXVEVO
MaryV, I have a tin ear, so I hardly heard the music on the video or even the lyrics, as it was absolutely visually stunning. Dangerously so. It was filled with symbolism that was disturbing to say the least, with a building sense of the heretical and shocking as it traveled to its revolting denouement. What a depraved use of such artistry. I couldn’t tear my eyes away, and it’s probably a mortal sin to watch it. It would take several more viewings than I intend to give it to attempt to analyze the thing. It really is much worse than the Cardi B piece, which is merely childish, vulgar, and disgusting in comparison.
Is this what they mean by “keepin’ it real”?
The folks who enjoy that worship Saint George of Floyd.
@draupnir, Hollywood’s satanic cult has been exposing themselves more and more. All of the half-time superbowl ‘shows’ are satanic ritual now too. This guy really wants a career, and he’s not very talented so he got tongues wagging by making this disgusting satanic video. He also admits he knows his audience is young kids, and claims to be a Christian.
Hwood is full of nutcases.
Teen Vogue’s offices have not been firebombed because responsible people who care about their family, their community, and their country do not act out like spoiled children. An unfortunate side effect of this stoicism will be their daughters scouring Marina Abramovi?’s cookbook for recipes and selling their used panties online, while their sons become the new daughters.
I suspect it more likely that parents have no idea what their children are doing online.
That too!
I suspect the parents know, and don’t care, or think it’s stunning and brave.
yeah and bob dylan last song “murder most foul’ was likely his freemasonic contribution to the Solve et Coagula plan to do in a george floyd to destroy civilization and built it back in a commune hive way. Doesn’t hindsight show Jhk that bobby D. turned out to be a bad guy? why doesn’t the 60’s showman tell today’s people that they can’t re-do the 60’s? dylan was just a commee that pretended to intelligence and made people feel less dumb if they listened to him, but in reality, it was all crap. only known in 2020 hindsight
You couldn’t give it a rest just once and celebrate the Bob’s oeuvre?
Bob Dylan. Insiders say he is crazy.
A friend owned the house next to his on Point Dume.
Friend said he saw cars at the place but the Dylans did not walk around the neighborhood.
They probably drove “the cars” instead.
Today’s blog reminds me of something I might read in Rolling Stone…
Heh.
You be less congratulatory if you’d been paying attention to what the grifter was doing in Washington.
He was co-sponsor of the The Bayh–Dole Act or Patent and Trademark Law Amendments Act of 1980 which made it possible for individuals paid by the Federal Government to register Patents in their own name and get paid for them. Faucii has over 50 .
This was the law that turned the CDC into the marketing arm of big Pharma, Dole is responsible to more death and disability in America than anyone since Lincoln.
Fuck him.
Are you confusing Bob Dylan with Bob Dole?
Bob had to tune his guitar really low due to his withered right arm – B flat if I remember correctly. He auditioned for Polka Tulk (which later morphed into Black Sabbath) but as Dole was unwilling to switch to bass, he was muscled out by Tony Iommi. Dejected, he ran for the U.S. Senate. War Pigs was written in his honor.
LOL.
Ozzie later quipped, “Oy couldn’t roitly hoir a bloke what had to say “I’m Bob Dole” before every bleedin’ song, could oy?”
Thanks for the translation. Yandex doesn’t handle Ozzyspeak very well…
Agree the Bayh-Dole act is a disaster though.
Opps. I are!
At least once everyone has an Emily Litella moment: Never Mind!
FUNNY
Okay I’m confused.
Jim,
Beautiful. Such a refreshing break from the demoralizing shenanigans of Dog Patch!
Your ode to Dylan reminds me that for every lazy, despicable, greedy, manipulative, self-serving, corrupt, venal, malignant, vile, contemptible, bitter, dishonest, nasty, criminal, stupid, crazy and insane American, there are probably two or more who are energetic, laudable, generous, helpful, honest, cooperative, kind, intelligent, calm and wise. Thank you for reminding me of that this day!
Lo! Behold the light! How he shines!
Your ratio is way too generous.
Look around.
Had to look. Hunting tune.

Blame the edgemacational system. Maffs be wayciss.
I’m not so sure, SvrzoH. Every time I visit the U.S. I’m impressed with the many, many positive attributes exhibited by the people. Look around, yes; look deeper too; it’s still there.
Then, with “your ratio” there would not have been Jim’s blog in this format?
I am, too, fully aware of what is good about the US and holding to it
Someone else who thinks along those lines-
Sean Ono Lennon
I have lived in many cities and countries and I can say from experience that there is an EQUAL distribution of shitty ppl and good ppl in EVERY human population. Most are good, some aren’t great, and a very small number are clinical sociopaths you absolutely need to avoid.
And the sociopaths work together very well since all they care about is power – and they take the society, almost invariably.
The natural greed of the ordinary man – called getting ahead – serve them completely. The competition creates the desperate conditions that always emerge in Capitalist society.
@ Beryl — I agree with you completely. It’s the old bell curve over and over again and I’ve seen it repeated with people’s character as well as IQ. 1 to 2% are saints, geniuses, artists, 95% generally good people, and 3 to 4% are to be avoided at all costs.
I was just thinking of Bob recently, in a political context.
I remember Lyin’ Brian Williams (along with the other network anchors) voicing his dismay that ‘the 60s are really over’ due to the claim that Bob allowed the Chinese government to make suggestions as to their preferences for his playlist, when he toured that country.
He didn’t play some of his most popular protest songs.
I couldn’t figure out why the MSM was pushing the censorship story so heavy.
Maybe as a cover for so many other public figures busy selling out to China?
dylan was in commercials.
cadillac.
victorias secret?
That Victoria’s Secret one was just plain creepy.
The fact that Victoria’s Secret has prisoners making their lingerie is pretty creepy too. Lady’s wash them knickers real good before ya try ’em on.
Dylan should clearly, clearly be permanently cancelled for his Sins.
/s
fools’ game
“Lady’s wash them knickers real good before ya try ’em on.”
Bird,
Yes, and remember…Wednesday means Wednesday….
OMG had no idea.
https://youtu.be/QsFrFQ-F64Y
Yeah.
What a really creepy commercial. I have never liked Dylan.
Nice retrospective…thanks.
Dylan still gets lots of press on the frozen tundra, deservedly so.
So does George Floyd (first anniversary tomorrow), maybe not so deservedly so.
Maybe not? Our Tom is growing….
co-incidentally, Bob’s “murder most foul” came out just before the Floyd incident. was he called up to make a long stupid song to signal the chaos so the order would be imposed? dylan is a sell out.
Nice tribute by JHK but I never found Dylans work as enlightening as Jim wrote. I guess i’m not as big a fan of Dylan as JHK and i’m in my early 60’s.
There’s one artist who’s work and songwriting who I really like and also has deep meaning and that’s British icon, Morrissey. I hold him in the same regard as Jim does with Dylan.
I have a few Dylan albums in the collection. Amazing wordsmith for sure. Personally, I liked John Prine a lot more. A friend of mine who worships Dylan went to a concert in Savannah, last year I think. He said the band was too loud with keyboards and synthesizers and the songs were un-recognizable from the original versions and he didn’t understand a word that Dylan sang.
see a book called–The Dylanologists.
he has been reworking his stuff live since ‘Before the Flood’ and that tour was in 1974.
That is the genius of Dylan. Everyone talks about his culture-changing lyrics but he rarely gets mentioned for being the most successful band leader ever. Dylan’s music is even more brilliant than are his lyrics as he changes every song every night.
John Prine was great. Also a fan.
Me too, for a very long time. Pity the Covid got him…oh, wait…
You I’m sure know this, but for those who might not, John Prine
had been ill with late-stage cancer for a long time before the OMG! Cobid! trope came around.
s/ big John Prine fan
‘Far From Me’
To each their own … but Yeesh!
Dylan being the best band leader ever. Yeesh!
To each his own.
Hahaha! Touche!
I actually didn’t say, “Best.” I said, “Most successful.”
Not getting into the “best band evah!” stuff, but his with Larry Campbell on gitfiddle and David Kemper on drums seemed real good to me.
And of course Tony Garnier; still with him, and probably best of the lot.
What a musician..
i used to love dylan when i was a young idealist pseudo-intellectual – he appeals to commee dimwits. it took a long time to burst the bubble. after he came up with murder most foul, i realized he is dangerous. and connected.
after he came up with murder most foul, i realized he is dangerous. and connected.
Whats it about?
after 1976, he went into a huge artistic decline.
JFK’s murder I believe.
only ostensibly…turns out it was more like the call for the G. Floyd thing – he is and always was a commee rat
he suffers from the green eyed monster of Envy, which you can clearly see in “Don’t Look Back” against both Lennon, and Donavan…..i was blinded by his cuteness, backed his seeming insecurity, but now that I am over 50 he just disgusts me – if one is mature they will phase the phases.
Yup, Don’t Look Back solidified my opinion of “Dylan” as envious attention-seeker. A disgusting display of rats clawing each other to get out of the box.
Do you only appreciate art from artists that you respect as people?
If you’re asking me, O.G., the answer is “no”. Great art is often created by terrible people.
Indeed. The Moz is one of my favs.
Saw him live in Cologne a few years back. As good as he ever was, even in The Smiths days.
Seems to me that without the uplifting influence of Johnny Marr, Morrissey naturally descends too far into himself and shares too much.
Marr is one of my favorite guitarists, and a huge influence on my own playing, but most of his opinions are shit.
I don’t care for Moz’s militant anti-meat stance, but I understand it to a degree, and I love that he shares “too much.”
There are few things more pathetic than individuals who self censor out of fear of what others will think.
Owl, I agree with your last comment, but I have to say, there are those who share too much. George Lucas is a good example. I have always felt, while watching Star Wars movies, that I was peering into George Lucas’ fantasy world. I don’t want to see that George, please pull the curtains down. Or I can just look away – probably easier.
Are you talking about the Prequels? And the revised versions of the original films?
As I understand it GL had almost no real input on the first three films. Lots of interesting info. out there.
These facts helped me understand why everything that came afterward was such a pile of steaming shit.
I’ve only seen the first 3 Star Wars – I was a kid, didn’t know any better – and the 3 with Natalie Portman – because, well obviously. It was the first time I saw Natalie Portman play a piece of cardboard – and quite convincingly. George Lucas is truly some kind of master if he can make Natalie Portman look like a high school drama class washout.
I am a sucker for the first film, but I generally agree. They were all pretty bad.
The Prequels are not even worth discussing other than to say that there are some hilarious reviews of them from a guy called Red Letter Media on YouTube.
I would highly recommend if you need a laugh.
Seeing the word ‘Icon’ these days, especially on this darpaNet, makes me want to quickly head the other way.
Same with the phrase ‘Making History’ – see Ms. Kamala™ Harris.
YMMV
This interview excerpt from 2009 on 60 Minutes with Bob Dylan reveals a person who seems at least somewhat disappointed and disturbed with life, rather than happy with success.
In it, he says he made a deal with someone (the chief?) to achieve success, and that he no longer has the magic abililty that it took to write songs, as he was able to when a young man. When he describes the talent he had so young, he seems to not even understand where it came from, as if it were just given to him.
To me, the attitude in the interview is very striking. I have to say, it’s rare to hear an artist say they have lost all ability to do what they did as a youth.
https://youtu.be/m_wAZ02JUtM
I have seen it described as they are done expressing themselves.
I always wondered what gives a young person out in the hinterlands the drive and interest to learn so much about obscure forms of music?
That seemed to be the way, they would have a dream, hone their talent, and then take it to someplace like NYC to be with like-minded people.
Nowadays with access to everything at your fingertips, it doesn’t seem to have increased the talent pool or raised the level of art, does it?
Just yesterday I was asking another music lover, “where are the bands?”
Technology has ruined creativity and schools are indoctrination centers, for starters.
We used to have artists creating songs, now we have Cardi B and WAP winning awards.
Depressing.
I think the trappings of wealth distract people and that’s why they ‘lose’ their creativity.
Sad to see it happen.
Selling one’s soul, indeed.
Aye that.
Soul-selling aside for a moment, it is rare that musical genius continues into later years.
Neil Young could keep releasing albums because his genius was based on simplicity. The Rolling Stones could because Keef can keep inventing riffs. Paul McCartney has enough money to surround himself with brilliance.
All the rest are nostalgia acts. Van Halen to Van Morrison.
Rock n roll was the music of the young by the young for the young. Now it is catered corporate boxes for the jabbed.
Anyway, the reason why there were so many one-hit wonders and second-LP disappointments is because brilliance of that magnitude burns itself out. Quickly.
As I alluded to on another posting this morning, Dylan continues to release relevant LPs that may not be worthy of a Noble prize but still have clever twists and turns from the brow of the Super-Brain.*
Nobody has ever written lyrics like Bob Dylan and it is not surprising that his later works are less regarded but he also sold himself short in that 2009 60 Minutes interview, imho.
——
Of course, there is the Crossroads myth. Young Robert Zimmerman left Hibbings, Minnesota and, when he came back a few months later, nobody could fathom how much he had improved on the guitar.
If he did make a deal with the Devil, he also released Slow Train Coming and Saved, 2 of the very Best Gospel albums ever.
Dylan found Jesus in the mid-1970s, released incredible Gospel and then ceased speaking publicly about it. It is unknown if he remains a Christian to this day.
As always, an enigma.
*David Bowie
There is no art without struggle.
The young person in the hinterlands is touched by those wizards of the airwaves, and envisions a life far removed from the surrounding privation. For a poor kid, that star hangs a lot higher – and is a lot shinier – than it is for a rich kid who only has to step out onto the balcony to bask in starlight. The less privileged have more to gain and less to lose.
I knew someone so motivated to learn music that he used to break into an old country church to play the piano late at night. Played in the dark to avoid notice. Couldn’t see the keys, but they turned into animals and told him where to put his fingers. Ya gotta pay the dues if ya wanna play the blues.
Some people need to channel creative energy, others want to be idolized. The “music industry” serves the latter group. The New American Consumer don’t want talent, they want WAP. Thousands of wannabe starlets are twerkin’ their way up that pole, enthusiastically blowing the piper’s horn for the promise of adulation and millions of followers and dollars.
Well said BB.
Yes, extremely well said.
Depends on one’s POV, I think.
we are in a contrived epoch.
He was in tune with the “Zeitgeist”. Puffed-out ego.
Interesting interview. I seem to see flashes of candid honesty amidst the mumbled jumbled facade of the aloof Dylan image – but are they real or just part of the act? Bob may have lost the magic of his early days when songs were handed down to him from above, but he still has a persona to maintain and a master to serve. Since I am a guest in Mr. K’s garden, I won’t slap Mr. Zimmerman around too much.
Well, the songs are still out there making people joyful so there is that.
I was never a big Dylan fan, but I can appreciate his body of work.
The Devil. But he turned away to save his soul.
All the great say the same. Inspiration comes to us from above. From our own soul, or God.
“You’ll have to serve somebody
It may be the devil, or it may be the lord”
https://youtu.be/0MzyBv4yOPU
He’s right.

Dylan was a sellout Freemason. Enough said!
dylan was jealous of lennon so he introduced the beatles to pot.
Zing!
Sam Shepard also admitted he was washed up as a playwright in his later years.
Joni Mitchell claims finding her lost daughter completed things for Joni.
That her songwriting was a way of trying to fill the void.
Maybe but her genius went south around 1980.
Also she says she started writing songs because other folkies told her the traditional songs ‘belonged to them and she should not perform them.’
I like that interview that MaryV linked quite a lot- have had it saved for some time, in fact. Not that Dylan isn’t doing plenty of dissembling there, but he’s sprinkling some truth-oids, too. Liked the bit about the Chief Commander, and as I head into my dotage, I think Dylan’s not far
off in his thinking.
Adding: Dylan looks like he’s suffering from Clincal Depression- perhaps the main product of late-stage Capitalism and its consequent, inevitable social atomization- in that interview, as well as in many of his concert performances from the 80s on.
I hear ya, dude.
Check out the photos from the “We are the World” nonsense of the mid-80’s. Dylan looks like he is about to puke on the constellation of stars surrounding him. Is he “too cool for school”, or is he disgusted at being used? I can’t tell, but subsequent history provides clues…
I will have a look, when my ultra-superb ISP finally cooperates.
Wow you’re not kidding… lol.
he is talking about Lucifer the great architect. as it turns out.
“And there are no truths outside the Gates of Eden” Dylan 1965
however some do need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows
“Anyway, I’m glad we shared these decades together on this marvelous planet and I salute him on his birthday for what he gave that has lived inside me all these years.” JHK
yessir!
These were stories about other people and other lives, reportage from the scene, with more resonance than Walter Cronkite could ever hope to bring to it.
I was born Just months before Dylan turned 24. Not only was his reportage from the scene more resonant than Cronkite’s in your day, he vastly exceeded his importance and timeliness for us stuck at the Wrong end of Boomerdom and were looking back at the recent history of the 1960s with such longing from the Ozzy Osbourne / Iron Maiden 1980s.
From a historical perspective, Cronkite was the old guy in the clip you’d see every few years taking off his glasses in an unprecedented Human moment in Nov. 1963 while Dylan was a fabric of my house every bit as much as the living room furniture.
My parents (b. 1946 & 1947) were into Dylan before I was born. Bob Dylan and Gordon Lighfoot LPs were the soundtrack of my early childhood.
I sort of met Bob one night. Nov. 14, 2012. Air Canada Centre in Toronto. I saw him live 4 times but this time, we were Row 4 … and the 2 seats Right in front of us were vacant all night! What a view! There he was – Right there! – for the next 2 hours. Our eyes met several times. We shared smoke with a older woman from Boston who was there seeing Dylan for her 104th time.
I was fortunate enough to attend many Great concerts. Seeing Bob Dylan like that was Truly one of the very Best.
Your writing was a fantastic diversion this morning, Mr K. Thank you.
———-
Happy Birthday, Bob!
I was supposed to go see Bob with a friend of mine at SUNY Albany.
This was back when he and his band were dressing in matching costumes with sashes and stuff, so it was easy to get in because who wants to see that?
We didn’t go, I think it got canceled.
Commenters who are glib, well-spoken, and give lots and lots of Personal™ Details™ make me wary.
That is all.
Yup, I don’t know you – keep your pants on.
Wary of what?
Woody Guthrie was way ahead of Dylan.
In fact Dylan lifted a lot from Woody, including the midwestern scamp shtick.
The exception being that Guthrie was a genuine hobo.
There is a lot of plagiarism in Dylan’s history.
Alas, he’s an act.
He idolized Woody. He took trains forever to go visit him in a hospital somewhere in New Jersey, I think.
Sure he stole. All poets steal.
poets don’t steal. who but blake said that grain of sand thing?
Thieves, copycats and co-opters, and the jealous steal. real poets only come to similar conclusions, but the poet must come from pain and authenticity of experience, not a theory. theorists and voyeurs are the fake poets
poets don’t steal. who but blake said that grain of sand thing?
I’m not sure that I like your Police work, there Tao.
There’s no such thing as car theft! My car is in my driveway.
Besides, Dylan comes from the final frontier of folk music where songs evolved organically for decades without copyright concerns.
It wasn’t even considered theft when Woody was a young man.
Artists gonna art.
Something else I admired about Bob, he supposedly said that Jimi Hendrix’ version of All Along The Watchtower is the definitive one.
It so is.
He also gave the Beach Boys credit for being good, when they were kind of going out of sytle so it wasn’t ‘cool’ to say so.
IMO “Bringing It All Back Home” is Dylan’s finest album, and indeed one of the finest folk/rock (or however you want to classify it) albums of all time. The number of great songs on that album were rarely produced over the entire career of most artists. “She Belongs to Me”, “Subterranean Homesick Blues”, “Mr. Tamborine Man”, “Gates of Eden”, “It’s Alright Ma”, and the incomparable “Baby Blue”are all masterpieces that somehow both defined and reflected the zeitgeist of that era. I’m not one of those who thought Dylan a sell-out when he went electric, but with rare exceptions (“Like a Rolling Stone”, etc.) he rarely topped that early work.
he did 3 good albums in 12 months. as did the Beatles.
the good old days.
now ‘singers’ [autotuned] may take a year to do a song or songs, at huge costs.
see credits for various people, with 3-8 or more people credited for writing the song.
Agree that ‘Bringing it All Back Home’ is Dylan’s finest work (IMO).
‘Blonde on Blonde’ gets the accolades, and it would’ve made a
really fine single disc, but it starts feeling formulaic to me.
Thanks for so evocatively noting Dylan’s 80th birthday, Mr. Kunster.
He is a truly remarkable human- warts and all, like the rest of us- and a
touchstone.
I’ll mention a few works of his that mean a lot and don’t seem to get
due notice: his songs ‘Abandoned Love’ and (especially!) ‘Up to Me’,
both found on the excellent ‘Biograph’ set; and the 2003 movie
‘Masked and Anonymous’, worth a watch in these so-curious times.
May I recommend “Positively 4th Street” by David Hajdu, which describes Dylan and his friends during some of his most prolific times. I was always grateful to him for giving those of us with crappy voices a license to sing out anyway.
Is my Mandela Effect scrambled brain playing tricks on me? It seems not long ago people were labelled whacko conspiracy nuts for thinking the virus was engineered in a lab in Wuhan. Now everyone is admitting it and that some non-Chinese institutions paid for the development.
What’s next? Obama admitting the existence of UFO’s and nearly admitting they are not of this world? https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/everything-keeps-getting-weirder-and-weirder
Conspiracy theory is not about unquestioning belief in any and every weird idea that someone dreams up. It’s about critically thinking for yourself, weighing the evidence, and not trusting the Powers That Be (who have plenty of reason to lie to us). There are plenty of conspiracy theories that I have dismissed after a fair hearing, e.g. flat earth.
I recommend the book “Everything You Know is Still Wrong” by Lloyd Pye. (2017) The author (who is very anti-religious, by the way) uses a purely scientific factual approach to poke holes in the Theory of Evolution.
And he points out what many of us have long known. The scientific and academic authorities in any field are not open minded. They see themselves as the high priests of the accepted dogma. If the dogma falls, they are discredited. Consider how that applies to – oh say – the AGW crowd and its brilliant spokes-girl Greta Thunberg.
The latest bouncing around on Fox, is that three Wuhan lane employees became very sick, weeks prior to the first reports of Covid.
I remember the escaped virus that wiped out most of America in “The Stand” was an escapee from a lab. Someone over in China better sign up to the fact that an escaped bug from their labs could obliterate mankind and start acting responsibly.
Unless of course this whole thing was planned by the sociopaths in the New World Order.
Alex Jones reported this within weeks of covid lock downs.
Unless of course this whole thing was planned by the sociopaths in the New World Order.
Indeed. That is far more likely than any Chinese to start acting responsibly.
The Chinese want their money while the USA exports soy beans and scrap metal. How to make it worth their while. Hmmmm … Let’s see …
Oh! And smut. I forgot. The USA exports soy beans, scrap metal and smut.
Sad but True.
“The latest bouncing around on Fox, is that three Wuhan lane employees became very sick, weeks prior to the first reports of Covid.”
David Gonigam has noted doubts on the validity of this story, on account of its source:
“Three researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick enough in November 2019 that they sought hospital care, according to a previously undisclosed U.S. intelligence report that could add weight to growing calls for a fuller probe of whether the COVID-19 virus may have escaped from the laboratory.”
We’re immediately suspicious because the first name on the article’s byline is that of Michael Gordon.
Nearly two decades ago, writing for The New York Times, Gordon retailed some of the Bush administration’s most egregious lies during the run-up to the Iraq War — the ones about Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction” and “ties to al-Qaida.” Somehow, Gordon’s reputation remained intact while Judith Miller, his colleague on many of the worst stories, was drummed out of the Times in 2005.
I have always found it amazing how the left will lie in order to damage their opponents even if it actually hurts our country in the doing.
Not only were WMD found but they were burned and blown up as well as transported out of country.
The CBRN ALARMS went off a hell of a lot as a result of all this destruction.
Nor do they want to discuss the tons and tons of high explosives that went missing or the 500+ tons of yellow cake flown out to Canada but hey your narrative is more important than the truth.
Most of all would be the REQUIREMENT we admit that a lot of those weapons had made in the USA and that would never do.
I understood at the time to admit the existence of such would cause the terrorist types to double down on trying to find this stuff but here we are two decades later its time to admit not only was all this shit found but the staggering amount of it that was destroyed.
Saddam was legendary for the amount of guns, bullets, bombs and assorted weapons he would buy no matter how old.
I’m not convinced that the sudden release of information about aliens visiting earth is real. It has the feel (to me) of a red herring. If in fact it’s true, publish all the evidence and ask other countries to co-operate in sharing their information, if any. While we scan the skies for flying saucers, people who have been arrested for the January 6th demonstration at the Capital and some of them are in solitary confinement. Why isn’t that in the news?
“The jail allows them to leave their cells for an hour a day. Religious services are not allowed; they can’t exercise and access to personal hygiene such as showers is nearly nonexistent, according to defense lawyers and relatives I’ve spoken with.”
https://amgreatness.com/2021/05/17/shawshank-for-january-6-detainees/
Ample grounds for a lawsuit here.
Political prisoners, much like we’ve always seen in so-called banana republics and third world ‘shit holes’.
We are there. SMH.
I am 100% certain that the vast majority of the left is OK with this, to boot.
MaryV,
I got a kick out of the community member who filmed inside the Capitol and was recently arrested. I guess he was BLM. They took the $90K he earned on selling the footage. His mug shot looked like a deer in the headlights. I am sure he was saying, “Wait, wait, I am BLM. You can’t arrest me.” I wonder if his charges will be dropped. Maybe they just wanted his $90k,
That’s exactly what the ‘progressives’ don’t get. That they are next. They somehow believe all the rules will apply to conservatives, and ‘others’ but not themselves. They are in for a rude awakening.
He was in there with a CNN reporter. There is another vid where he asks her to kiss him.
Fake News and BLM working together to stage another hoax.
You all talking about “John Sullivan” and the documentary being made about him (and his “right wing” brother) during the Capital protest? This is no Mohammad Atta passport, don’t let it disappear, forgotten on a DC sidewalk…
Yes, that would be Mr. Sullivan.
One of the many Antifa/BLMers who worked hand in glove with the McMedia in one of the most disappointing “attempted coups” in recorded history.
Just another day in clown world.
These guys are “political prisoners”? I thought most of them are Antifa & BLM agitators who were attempting to blacken the name of the MAGAverse.
No worries, my chubby friend.
Aliens will soon destroy us all, and the memories of the January 6 Attempted Overthrow of the United States Goberment and the Great Chlorox Debacle will just be a speck in the Clown Historical Record.
The so-called “left” is utterly gotten-to, as became clear in March 2020,
with its capitulation to the elites’ OMG Cobid! narrative.
Ms. Rania Khalek was the one who made this perfectly clear, with her™ people-friendly “STAY THE FUCK HOME!!! WEAR A FUCKING MASK!!!” messaging..
My guess is that the Intelligence Agencies have owned the mole, so-called “left” for a very long time- a very clever move from the former.
Well they don’t even try to hide it any more. Record number of spooks ran for Dem party seats in 2020.
Yeah, the UFO bidness feels like yet another misdirection by those Few
who rule us.
It is the cherry on top of the extra large Fake News sundae of the past 5 years.
Aliens.
LOL.
Our Friendly™ Intelligence Agencies: keep the ground shifting beneath our feet since 1947 (or well before)..
“Remember the Maine!..”
what a country, what a time.
Adding: the only good part is this shows that they’re (maybe) scratchin’
a bit. U-effing-FOs? Or, it could show their utter contempt for the Many..
Hmm.
TBH, I sometimes think that contempt might be warranted.
I suspect only the vaxxed will be seeing UFOs everywhere in the near future.
The IQ test does not lie.
The Team D True Beliebers I know are also very pro-Vax, and believe that the human race was seeded on this planet by “Ancient Aliens” who are watching over us and will rescue us if necessary. (And they tell me to “trust the science”! Haha!!)
It appears a selective singularity may be on the horizon for a segment of our population.
“Beliebers.”
Nice.
Borrowed it from Justin Bieber. Seemed an appropriate post-it note to slap on the back of Team D.
I know where it comes from. Nice usage.
🙂
The Scumbag himself (Fauci) is calling for an investigation, lol. If you don’t learn to roll with the punches, you don’t rise or last. Fauci is a Master and hopefully we will see him in the dock along with Gates at Nuremberg 2.
Do you think that that is possible, Yoho?
As you know, I believe that this is headed towards The Mark of the Beast. That is, I believe that Gates & Fauci will prevail over these next few years.
I have to agree. Why should the World Court be any more honest than the American one? As Rammstein says, We’re all living in America. It’s Wundervoll!

Is not Gotham (NY) the Great City? The epicenter of this entire Global Civilization of buying and selling?
Some Catholic Prophecy says that we are now in the Chastisement and that there will be a miraculous recovery and Renaissance, with the Muslims defeated and driven out of Europe.
We’ll see! I don’t see it now and not all Catholics believe it. Barnhardt thinks we’re near the End and Bergoglio is the forerunner, the False Prophet of the Antichrist.
In the other version, the Antichrist comes, but later, after the reprieve.
I believe that President Barrack Obama is the anti-Christ.
Muslims defeated and driven out of Europe. really?
in 1990s a nut told me Bill Clinton was the anti christ.
I don’t know if he’s attractive enough or brilliant enough to fulfill that role. The Antichrist will be a universal genius, who knows something about every field. No one will leave his presence uninspired. A great Man of Peace – and War.
Obama has cunning to burn and have been very effective. But he’s still a dope and unliked by many. Putin stared him down to boot.
Why did Barry change his name?
Are you familar with barq obama is the phonetics of what Jesus literally said, in Aramaic, when speaking of Satan? Something to do with lightning and the fallen angel – I’m obviously no expert on the topic.
Yeah, I don’t see Thelma and Louise slammin’ on the brakes. Hold onto your hat and take your seatbelt off – it ain’t gonna do ya no good.
I think this human rights lawyer who spoke at an Orange County school board meeting is on the right track about what should be done:
https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/leigh-dundus-telling-the-orange-county-school-board-that-they-are-violating-nuremburg-codes-and-will-be-held-accountable/
She is. And she is a powerhouse. In OC they have Leigh and also Peggy Hall, another powerhouse. Those women are highly motivated and not taking any of this sitting down.
The Shit That Matters.
Right here.
What matters is that we don’t fear death. None of the people fighting the PTB fear death, and that’s what is required.
I think all the governors and other political figures who didn’t/don’t follow their own edicts belong there too.
Whitmer, Cuomo, Newsom, Birx, Pelosi, Kerry, the list goes on and on.
FauciGates “in the dock”?
Not gonna happen. Who’ll adjudicate?
yeesh.
He was great in the sixties and I spent many a night with friends, roommates or alone listening to his albums. A one of a kind original which is pretty rare in any decade. I haven’t kept up with any of his recent work but it sounds like some long-time fans have.
A funny story about one of his songs (or at least I thought it was). Years ago Dave Berry said he wanted to have a contest to see what was the WORST song ever written and that Lay, Lady, Lay was automatically disqualified b/c his secretary had voted for it 16,492 times. I guess she didn’t like it.
I had to go check out the winner.
And you came back without telling us?
The winner: MacArthur Park as sung by the inimitable (thankfully) Richard Harris (peaked at #2 on Billboard’s Top 100 on June 22, 1968).
that was a good song.
Or at least, not the “worst” – ever…
I loved making fun of that song. My sister’s comedy troupe back in the 1980s did a music video to it and it was hysterical. I wish I had a copy.
Not “Afternoon Delight”?
Color me disappointed.
Didn’t even make the list… But then again, Yummy, yummy, yummy, I’ve got love in my tummy came in at Number 2, so it’s a pretty well-supported list.
But remember, the book came out in ’97, and candidates had to be at least 10 years old. Would MacArthur Park be able to maintain the title of King of the Hill today? After 24 years, might be time for a re-vote…
Hey, now- ‘Afternoon Delight’ was a fine piece of Product, as I recall.
Terry Jacks’s stuff was better, though.
Hey Bill, ya thinkin’ Seasons in the Sun?
For the Covid crew,
A new virus has been uncovered in Malaysia. This one showed up in 8 patients out of 301 pneumonia patients tested. It is transmitted to humans through dogs, cats and primarily dogs. The patients are all under 5, and live in close quarters. The virus is a coronavirus and is labeled as CCoV-HuPn-2018.
All kids were released within a week. Human to human transmission did not occur.
It is good to know someone now seems to be monitoring the virus factories in Asia.
This is another toe dipped into the water testing us. Then they can justify coming to kill your pets. It’s been done in China many times in order to instill fear in the population.
They’ve been toying with it in the press isnce the start of this, saying tigers, cats and dogs spread it.
It’s total absolute bullshit.
First they came to kill my dog…
MANY friends of mine say this is where they get out the AK 47s. When the gov’t/Great Resetters come for our critters.
I’m thinkin’ guns come first. Lotsa wokies with Yorkies ‘n’ ferrets ‘n’ stuff…
Personally, I love “My Back Pages” and nothing beats this version.

Unusual, often when a bunch of “stars” get together like that, the result is nowhere near excellent.
Happy birthday Robert Allen Zimmerman!
I’ll never understand why Mr. Zimmerman changed his name to Bob Dylan.
Anyway, my favorite Bob Dylan song is “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right.”
But only the Peter, Paul and Mary version.
“I give her my heart but she wanted my soul,
But don’t think twice, it’s all right.”
Nice tribute James. Ya either get Dylan or you don’t. I think his mid 60’s stuff is amazing. I always thought he’d be an interesting guy to talk to in the right circumstance. In particular his view of his tribe as someone outside looking in. I’ve always had a hunch that his sarcasm at media people and of the folks that booed him for not following their vision of what they wanted him to be was founded on that in part.
The later Dylan wore dark glasses and played bit roles in weird movies. He escaped from the Devil, but he didn’t take refuge in God. In other words, he lingered in the no-man’s-land of the Sinai. The desert.
As Whitman said, either the Work must remain incomplete or the Man. Both Whitman and Dylan chose to complete the Work and remain incomplete as Men.
If they had chosen otherwise, they wouldn’t be as famous – or famous at all. So it goes.
I have always liked Zimmerman. Saw him live years ago when he stil had it. That said, every cover Jimmy LaFave ever did was better than the original. Not Dark Yet was perhaps the best of the bunch.
Song for Bob Dylan
Oh, hear this Robert Zimmerman
I wrote a song for you
About a strange young man called Dylan
With a voice like sand and glue
Some words had truthful vengeance
That could pin us to the floor
Brought a few more people on
And put the fear in a whole lot more
Ah, here she comes
Here she comes, here she comes again
The same old painted lady
From the brow of the superbrain
She’ll scratch this world to pieces
As she comes on like a friend
Couple of songs from your old scrapbook
Could send her home again
Gave your heart to every bedsit room, at least a
Picture on my wall
And you sat behind a million pair of eyes
And told them how they saw
Then we lost your train of thought
Your paintings are all your own
While troubles are rising, we’d rather be scared
Together than alone
Ah, here she comes
Here she comes, here she comes again
The same old painted lady
From the brow of the superbrain
She’ll scratch this world to pieces
As she comes on like a friend
But a couple of songs from your old scrapbook
Could send her home again
Now hear this, Robert Zimmerman
Though I don’t suppose we’ll meet
Ask your good friend Dylan
If he’d gaze a while down the old street
Tell him we’ve lost his poems
So we’re writing on the walls
Give us back our unity
Give us back our family
You’re every nation’s refugee
Don’t leave us with their sanity
Ah, here she comes
Here she comes, here she comes again
The same old painted lady
From the brow of the superbrain
She’ll scratch this world to pieces
As she comes on like a friend
But a couple of songs from your old scrapbook
Could send her home again
Ah, couple of songs from your old scrapbook
Could send her home again
Oh, here she comes
Here she comes, and here she comes

Interesting how today’s comments tend to hover around Mr. K’s original post – as opposed to the more typical assemblage of soap boxes. He throws us a curveball and we go running for it. Good times at Clusterfuck Nation.
I confess to having infected it with the Wuhan flu, somewhat.
I can’t help it, I am on a crusade.
And … beyond that … nothing else comes to mind, BB.
And yet, posting about Bob Dylan is almost (?) as divisive as posting about Covid, or the election, or any of the other interlinked eschatological subjects.
I think most of us congregating here at Clusterfuck Nation are crusaders, of one form or another.
Per adua ad astra!
Well said.
Wonderful post, JHK.
It’s hard to summarize Dylan’s 60+ years of writing and performing. I often enjoy playing some of his earliest tracks, such as Let Me Die in My Footsteps, The Ballad of Donald White, Dusty Old Fairgrounds, and I’ve Been a Moonshiner — to name just a few of dozens. It’s amazing how powerful they remain. Kudos and thanks to the people who saved many of Dylan’s performances for posterity, such as Richard Alderson, who taped Dylan’s early Gaslight sessions and his 1966 world tour; the late Don Pennebaker, who recorded Dylan’s world tour on film, and the countless others who thought to turn on tape and film machines and preserve so much of Dylan’s astonishing material. The late Albert Grossman, Dylan’s often criticized manager, was a genius at promoting Dylan; without Grossman, Dylan might never have made it. Grossman was thinking in four or five dimensions at all times.
I knew someone who introduced Bob at the copper kettle?
in Chicago, 1962? as Bob Die-Lan and Bob corrected him as he walked on stage.
I neglected to mention the unfortunate report a few weeks ago that Sally Grossman, the late Albert Grossman’s wife, has passed away. Sally Grossman was immortalized as the attractive lady in the red dress sitting with Dylan and a cat (feline) on the cover of Dylan’s 1965 “Bringing it All Back Home” album.
Levon Helm, in the ‘penguin book’ later edition said,
‘robbie and al and now sally cashed in on The Band and cheated the 4 of us’ or something like that.

At a party. Another Black, probably – or we would have heard bloody murder by now. Critical condition.
Those who live by the sword shall die by it, as a Man once said.
This Sis-tah was more than just an activist.
She fancied herself an historical Revolutionary and the woman who could take down the UK, and establish an African Homeland on the Island Nation. For starters, she demanded all English Statuary must go, reaching all the way back to Roman times, thru Anglo Saxon Britain, and into the Norman period. And there was no question any monuments from the times of Empire building and Victorian England must be smashed right now.
Shot in the head in some gangland spate of violence by the people she spent her short career promoting, in a city where just mentioning the word “Gun” can get you arrested. Somehow it seems fitting. Nothing unique here either. Two mass shootings at Club Member get togethers yesterday, in Jersey and Carolina, at a birthday party and an illegal Hip Hop event, 28 shot. Chicago’s totals came in at an even 50 for the week. Shooting season usually begins with the advent of warm weather and this season is getting off to a bang, no pun attended
This would be a good point to insert a link to the West African “soldiers” giving an AK-47 to a chimp, illustrating the 1,000 monkeys/1,000 typewriters/Tale of Two Cities hypothesis… Drop one gun – and enough ammo – into a room of monkeys, and eventually the correct person will get shot. Ya done good Sasha, less have somorra dat.
yet you believe in equality, right? Enough monkeys and enough typewriters and enough time, and you’re sure to get Shakespeare, right?
Did I say that Yo?
Recipe for success: more monkeys, more typewriters, less Shakespeare. Better yet: barrels of monkeys, truckloads of guns, and no Shakespeare.
You’ve seen what a marginally trained chimp can do. Why shut the door on their evolution?
Our brothers with prehensile-tailed mothers…
“After death threats” – uh huh. At a house party at 3 a.m. Doesn’t sound too much like a ‘death threat’ was carried out at some house party, to me.
This woman says it was a ‘rival gang’ drive by shooting kinda thing.

[I will send an error-free post someday … If I Just keep trying and Really believe in myself!]
Never saw it. Always was curious though.
My favorite Bob Dylan Story is from when he lived up in Woodstock, NY. Dylan freaked out when he learned about the concert that was being planned for Woodstock, and was one of the locals who insisted the event be staged somewhere far from town. One thing Dylan didn’t like was hippies, specially ones that showed up at his house. He was very protective of his family and was mindful of the kidnapping and ransom of Frank Sinatra’s son. This was about the time Dylan had his friend the local sheriff procure him an Inland M1 Carbine, which he practiced with in his back yard. During the period of the Woodstock music festival, which happened about 50 miles from Woodstock, NY, Dylan got out of Dodge, took his family to Paris.
Nobody likes hippies in their hood
https://youtu.be/go6K37T-un4
Why he toured with Bob and Jerry in 87. To learn how good his work really was. Period.
That Dylan was friends with and toured with Mr. Garcia is a real blemish on the former’s record. What was that horrid album called: ‘Under the Dismal Sky’, or somesuch?
The Dead™ and their acolytes used to show up at the Ventura Fairgrounds now and then- that was way more of both of them than
I ever wanted to hear.
You are correct, Avatar. I was shocked and disappointed at how much differently I was treated after growing my hair long in 2015.
O.G., at least you had hair post-2015… Many of us are envious. But – where were you in 1975 when some of us* were havin’ our long hair flushed down the toilet? Takin’ care of business, every day.
* Not me of course…
I don’t know about about that. I think It was that fiend M that gave them a bad name.
Jethro Tull was invited to play at Woodstock, but Ian Andersen was so alarmed at the idea of hordes of naked hippies spawning like grunion among flowers and mud puddles, he decided to keep the band at home.
“Rock” band with a flute and he’s worried about hippies?
Couldn’t stand ’em…
The Tull may have had some integrity. Won a Grammy in 1989 for “Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance” – they were probably more shocked than anyone else. Came out with Kissing Willie as a response.
I loved Jethro Tull.
he is or was a fish farmer, killing countless fish and doing how much polluting?
rumor is the Eagles stole a song from him.
Yes, malt, I heard an interview on NPR way back when they played music, in which Ian Anderson talked about his salmon farming. Neither he nor the interviewer was interested in pursuing that thread – but i was. I suspect that Ian Anderson is more interested in making millions of dollars than in preserving thousands of years of evolution, or hundreds of years of culture.
But if any English rock band of the ’70’s could convince me that they are not totally subversive, and actually gave a damn about the future, the Tull is near the top of that list.
I liked Aqualung and Thick as a Brick very much; and Songs from the Wood, though less so.
That band does elicit strong reactions both ways.
I saw Badly Drawn Boy in a small intimate setting in Southern California about 20 years ago.
He brought along a flutist for the tour. A total departure from his recorded material.
Horrendous. Just awful.
*Silent Sigh*
100,
Yeah, I’m thinkin’ Dropkick Murphys and bagpipes…
No insult to bagpipes – they made Sky Pilot – in my opinion.
“The Bob Dylan Documentary ‘No Direction Home’ Is The Best Martin Scorsese Film Of This Century. … Originally broadcast as part of PBS’s American Masters series, and currently available for streaming on Netflix, it tracks Dylan’s life from his youth in Minnesota through his confrontational UK tour in 1966.”
I was somewhat disappointed with this documentary on Bob Dylan because it focused almost exclusively on his music. Barely a word on his connection to Duluth, MN (where I spent 3 years in the AF) other than the fact he was born there. And nothing about his Jewishness…was he Bar Mitzvahed? Did he ever wear a yamaka? Any brothers or sisters? And what about his love life? Only now, in a Google search, did I learn that he had 4 biological children and was married twice.
Annoyingly, Dylan seemed to take pleasure in NOT giving straight answers to the questions of interviewers. He would do what Steve, a close Jewish friend of mine, would do, viz. answer a question with a question. (Question: Steve, why do you always answer a question with a question? Answer: Why not?) I guess being extremely famous can make a person that way.
For context, note that I am 6 months and 3 days older than Dylan and don’t have a musical bone in my body.
I remember seeing young Robert with another kid or two (sibling(s), I think). What made the pic memorable for me was the Christmas Tree in the background.
rumor is he has married 3 or 4 times.
helena springs is wife 3.
I went to Church today and influx of the Divinity was simply extraordinary. As the Chaldean Oracle put its, I eat fire. I drink light.
Maybe because I was bitter that my prayers hadn’t been heard? But they still haven’t been: I asked for material grace, and just got more spiritual. Better than nuthin’….
Interesting Yo. I’d have expected you to be a pagan or Cosmotheist – even a Lutheran! – but not a Catholic. Good luck untangling these threads and adhering them to your armor.
I know, right? Luckily I’m a Universalist and believe Christianity is A true religion, not The true religion. It is flawed in many ways since Christ didn’t teach about this world at all, apparently. So for things like property, war, politics, etc we have to go to the Old Testament – which isn’t for us since Judaism isn’t a universal relgion. And since Christianity is, Christians now don’t think they have the right to have their own race or nation or culture or civilization. It’s been weaponized against us.
“Universalist”?!?! I had expected that to be a slur you’d use against me!
It’s a voyage Yo. (The longboat has been hijacked and we sail on strange seas.) One that we must all undertake, yet one which we will not live to see the end of.
Now grab your oar, we have leagues to go before we sleep.
God is on thing. Man quite another. One doesn’t argue from God to Man or his affairs. Religion is one thing, politics quite another. Of course God being God revealed Himself to all peoples. The doctrine of Providence is very, very weak in Christianity. They opted for the Semitic “every one else is doing it wrong”. Tragic.
Yes, we have a serious course correction to make. Now grab your oar.
Welcome back Q.
Bob Zimmerman’s dad was an oil company executive. His mother’s family owned a successful dept store in Duluth. It was one of those downtown anchor stores that sold everything, which every medium sized city in America had before our cities were gutted.

It is Better that the Walton (Walmart) family be multi-billionaires and the people who help you there get food stamps from the gov’t to make ends meet, Heckler. We all enjoy cheaper microwave ovens that way. Capitalism.
Kill ’em all, let the dogs sort ’em out.
Hi Q! Been a while.
Well, we know he was American Jewish. But what the hell does that imply? The country changes every generation.
R. Zimmerman, right there at the end of the alphabet, achieve or give up completely, picked a poet’s name, closer to the front, who’s gonna go through the all bins, all the way to W-X-Y-Z?
Silent Generation pied-piper, leading the leaderless, pointing out the pointless, social criticism set to music, j’accuse!
Everyone has a voice, but some are hard to listen to, words in a blender, a beautiful turn of phrase.
Eighty rounds, a good game, play if you like playing, a fine line straddled, all this time.
That was the brilliance of ZZ Top. The last band in every rock section on Earth.

What kind of a World is in store for the youth and all the yet-unborn generations when all the future Bob-Dylans’ of the World have been gaslighted, weaned out of, sidelined, shamed, shut down, silenced, discouraged, ‘Cancelled’, threatened, and otherwise prevented from Seeking Their Bliss and fulfilling their destiny to walk their own path and stray off the One And Only Authorized Road and to express that freedom in song and words.
The Sixties were a time (maybe the LAST in all human history) when rebellion and creativity were not seen as being the horrible acts at worst… or simply bad taste and Cancel-Culture worthy… like rebellion and creativity and being an individual are viewed today. We are entering lock-step into the World of the One Path… the One Choice… the One Way To Think and Live… the ‘SAFE’… the ‘Inoffensive’… The ‘Un-TRIGGER-able’.
In such a World, there is no room or place for a Bob Dylan or anyone like him who would dare to think for himself and express ideas that might run afoul of THE HOLY GROUP OF MASS CONFORMITY that the World has currently constructed and seems to relish in.
Why does Sixties music still sound so good? Because so much of it WAS good. It carries timeless lessons about love and longing and pain and sadness and rebellion and great victories and social concern for the well-being of others. It had/has… SOUL about it. It
came from the Heart. It came from the Mind. It had passion. It SAID something worth saying. It was not just bunch of mumbled words set to an overloud drum-beat-track that are not uttered to inspire people to greatness but to hypnotize and degrade them. It was not some Corporate Construction of synthetic people and empty mindless lyrics to keep people anesthesized consumers.
Younger generations today like to dismiss Baby Boomers as old, out-of-touch fogeys who have nothing to say to them or to teach them. Only ‘The Youth’ now can possess the wisdom of the Ages. But in throwing out the Baby Boomer generation, they are also throwing out the Bob Dylans’ and all those like him (then as now) who have much timeless wisdom to share with the World… if the World would only listen.
Is their a chance that Bob Dylan’s spirit will ever find a place in the World again? I’m afraid that The answer – my friend — is what he already told us… it’s just Blowin’ In The Wind.
Excellent post Roundball Shaman.
Sixties music was FUN to listen to and still is. Yes, some of the groups were very earnest and had a “message” but there was a spontaneity and love of life that came through. And variety too — Motown, the Beach Boys, the British invasion, Rockabilly — and love was a direct experience, not something on Tinder.
Motown. Music that allowed us to hope that black and white could live together “in perfect harmony”. I miss that world, though I was barely aware of it at the time.
I wonder if Bob feels the same now about
Talkin John Birch?
Maybe he’s singing the blues

Is the conspiracy guy right? Did Dylan contribute to the George Floyd event?
Huh? I always wonder where the George Floyd incident happened. Me & my son were in downtown Minny for a few days in 2017. Yeesh!
I do remember a bldg with a Real cool Dylan mural. Minny’s a shithole, imho.
I don’t know anything about Dylan being involved with George Floyd though. News to me.
Blood bath in Minneapolis the past few weeks.
Is the City Council still defunding the PD?
About 200 Minneapolis cops quit this year, so really, the PD is defunding itself.
Who cares about the cities any more? Let them sleep in their own slime. They are no longer part of the America I was raised in. The best thing that could happen, IMHO, is for the folks to finally have enough of the socialist crap, invade the City Halls and State house and execute the SOBs.
JAZ, the zipper ain’t all the way down yet, the house has yet to be divided. Gonna be a lot more hurt before any of us get our hands anywhere near the levers of power – or the throats of those who currently wield it.
taoistonthecross said that Dylan’s “Murder Most Foul” came out just before the Floyd incident exploded.
I don’t see the connection. Murder Most Foul is about Nov. 22, 1963 and pop culture since. I read the extensive lyrics and didn’t see anything that ties to George Floyd.
Ok, thanks.
Jim set the bar high today. Well cleared.
Turning 17 in 1969, Dylan was an important part of musical life – particularly for someone far more interested in anything but rock ‘n’ roll – so folk, country, jazz, blues, great lyrics, simple instrumentation, and solo acts especially.
So apart from Dylan, I much recall Woody Guthrie (and Arlo), Pete Seeger, Janis Joplin, James Taylor, John Denver, Carol King, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Simon & Garfunkel, the Doors, CSN&Y, etc.
When you start thinking about, there was a lot of good stuff – we lived in the best of times. Happy 80th Bob Zimmerman!
He was born in 1941. So, not 17 in 1969. 28.
I can see why you read it that way – poor construction on my part. I turned 17 in 1969 – classic boomer.

Some of us saw this *fourteen months* ago, of course.
The big variable is each individual’s personal inflammation reaction to any disease or vaccination. Spike proteins probably cause reactions anywhere the ACE receptor exists. They include, heart, lungs, blood vessels especially arteries, kidneys, liver, and probably the brain, if it crosses the barrier, also probably genetic.
Susceptibility causes troubles.
Kids have thymus glands to handle this stuff, they really should be allowed natural immunization.
Did you hear about Rand Paul, refusing the vaxx because he had the disease. He is a great candidate to see how long antibodies last and if memory Bs and Ts exist. If his natural immunity lasts, great news. If not, it defines booster shot intervals.
I talked to my MD a long time ago and he told me that the immune system is the least understood system in the body. He also said that improvements in treatment in the future was going to help with many diseases. We were talking about autoimmune at the time.
Triggering the immune system to target specific antigens and cancers would be a powerful tool. mRNA has been under development for a while to do it.
-I” be firmly in the Control Group regarding the experimental “vaccines”
until late 2023, when the first full scale trials of said substances are
concluded.
Can you say “myocarditis” and such?
“Who coulda ever, ever knowed that these untested “vaccines” were poison?”
You do not get it. All vaccines are poison! They trigger the immune system, that what poisons do. That is what they are supposed to do. They cause inflammation, that is what they are supposed to do. They are not kool aid, they are supposed to trigger a reaction with your body. In 99.997% of the people, it is an inconvenience. The rest definitely have a problem.
Your choice. You are supposed to believe in free choice. It is your choice not to take the jab. It is the choice of 160 million people to take it.
The old saying
You can’t make me! Well, you can’t make me not!
I’m more interested in increasing our knowledge of the immune system, than increasing our tinkering with it.
Nature/God got it wrong – but we will fix it! Yeah, ok…
Still chugging the Kool-Aide in La La Land.
And anyone who would rather be sick for two weeks to two months rather than take a jab that makes you feel bad for a couple of days, must be a little masochistic.
Tell that to the people in ICU for weeks after the jab.

Well, in the past week or two we have learned that our host, Jim, has met personally Hunter S Thompson and Bob Dylan. I salute you sir! What can one say, except Rolling Stone must have been an interesting place to work back in the 70s.

Today, he’d be interviewing AutoTuned BoobTube influencers or Taylor Miffed TM.
What are you doing, Alabama?
You got the rest of the Union
To help you along.
What’s going wrong?
Different singer, same song.
None of it touches my heart. Perhaps I might have wondered a little if it was supposed to but such a thought (if it ever passed through my mind)
was fleeting. The music at that time was all about the notes. I barely heard the words. they were just thrown in to fill the spaces.
The Sixties are when it really went wrong.
I would not cross the road to listen to Dylan, or the Beatles or the Stones if I got in for free, but there is a thrilling enchantment in the s0unds the last two groups made, and indeed I even listened to the Beatles’ lyrics, even if I did not always understand them (and I would not agree with them if I did understand). That is the sound of the fantasy. The long melancholy note, I think it is described as in On Dover Beach.
Dylan was just another artist, you could go and make a cup of tea while he was on.
What music (if any) moves you?
I bet he loves traditional Irish music. Perhaps classical, or jazz.
Rock was an initiation. As Plato said, introducing a new form of music is a very serious thing. The whole chakra functioning and focus is different. And above all – it blocked the old culture from being inculcated into the new generation. Laurel Canyon again.
I took it. Almost everyone did, here at least. Most everyone in Ireland as well, if a few years later.
Yoh, you nailed it there but I think it goes further. Hitchens is perceptive and he thinks the soundtrack to the Sixties was at their heart. It is not just that the tradition was no longer handed on but that we stepped into a dream.
Rock music was the Sirens’ song which expressed the spirit of the time, the Great Fantasy, in its cadences. I appear to be unlike most music lovers as the lyrics are for me just subliminal and do no more than express a general sensibility. (Whenever I took the time to find out what they were actually singing I just laughed at how clichéd and banal it was.)
I think I still love it but I wish I did not. What do I like? A couple of examples. The short, single version of Layla. By Dylan Knocking On Heaven’s Door, Blind Willie McTell (although he did not rate it), Subterranean Basement Blues (the one where he has the words written out on sheets of paper) and, from my younger years when we had the vinyl single, Watching The River Flow (I tried to learn how to play along on the piano and did not even get close). Bowie’s John I’m Only Dancing without the sax.
I love All Along The Watchtower, but just Hendrix’s version and Hendrix’s Little Wing, but only by Derek And The Dominoes. There is a live version of Sympathy For The Devil which comes and goes on YoutTube. It has Lennon watching from behind the stage and it is sensational. Which reminds me. Either EMJ or Johnson referred once to a clip (which I looked up) of Dylan saying that he (as it were) sold his soul. It is ambiguous and he may well have been in jest. But they do say that the Devil has the best tunes.
I have a playlist on my YT channel with hundreds of my favourites and I even occasionally listen to it with a beer. I used to be able to settle down for an evening at this but after half and hour now I can go no further. Music In A Doll’s House (Family)
I Want You (She’s So Heavy), I’m Only Dreaming Let It Loose (I was 41 when I first heard that), Shine On Brightly, itchygo Park, Ashes To Ashes, Alison Moyet’s two big singles in the early 80s and on and on and on. I’ll Put A Spell On You by Credence Clearwater. I can’t stop! Blood On TheRooftops.
“One SWEET dream…” (McCartney, Abbey Road).
Stevie Ray Vaughan’s rendition of Little Wing is something.
He just about tripled the original
Thanks Avatar. Very nice and I have added it to my playlist, alongside a Wanda Jackson song recommended by Tate a couple of years ago (I do not really like country but this one – Pick Me UP On Your Way Down – is very nice.)
Yes, I love traditional Irish music and I learnt to dance sets after I turned thirty when I came here from London. I got quite useful at it because it is in the family on both sides. (I could never have seen myself dancing before.) Classical also but not modern classical (atonal). I don’t mind trad jazz but am not keen on the rest.
“The Sixties are when it really went wrong.”
Yup, and most of us put the pedal to the metal once we had the chance. We are still weightless over the Grand Canyon, but once gravity reasserts its dominion – look out!
Dead Horse Point in Utah is a salutary spot … where they shot the Final Scene from Thelma & Louise.
That’s the image I had in mind. Thanks
They must have used stunt women for that final scene, because Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis turned up later alive.
Yes, the Lie of Freedom as Irresponsibility. Or the Personal is all that matters. You can choose your sex. Or if you’re born in America, that makes you an American just like a hamster born in an aquarium is a goldfish.
One comment. The sixties were rebellious but like other rebellions, nothing really changed. We just continued down the same path toward the slime ball situation we are in today.
Capitalism is great at co-opting and appropriating every threat to it, and then profiting. It’s genius the way it works like that.
I see the 60’s as the first me me me temper tantrum, actually.
They may have wanted the end to war and were anti-establishment but they sure got co-opted the second they saw $$ signs.
So, fake, and a tantrum.
Just like now.
Tantrums abound.
I think the ’60’s started out honestly – young people reasonably concerned about the future – but it got co-opted and corrupted very quickly (If it feels good, do it!).
The present identity rebellion was astroturf from the start.
They may have wanted the end to war and were anti-establishment but they sure got co-opted the second they saw $$ signs.
No doubt true enough – but life did hugely change for boomers, and I think on balance for the better. Women, gays, blacks, Indigenous People, anti-war warriors, environmentalists – lots of different interest groups and stakeholders found a voice, and a lot of it was for the better.
There was also an explosion in culture – art, literature, music, film … lots of stuff blossomed.

oh, good… and here we effing are.
LOL.
We always had culture.
Now, as a result of those decades, we’re under censorship, the end of comedy because it hurts feelz, and art as money laundering.
You live in a fucking fantasy land.
Tekapo – “…but life did hugely change for boomers, and I think on balance for the better. Women, gays, blacks, Indigenous People, anti-war warriors, environmentalists – lots of different interest groups and stakeholders found a voice, and a lot of it was for the better.”
Wait…I thought none of those marginalized peoples had a voice today…I mean that’s what the news tells us…you mean to say these problems were already addressed 50+ years ago, but we’re just playing into a fallacy now? Huh. Interesting.

Key West (Philosopher Pirate)
Bob Dylan 2020
As far as I’m concerned, Key West was a place for drunks, loners. meatheads – and those with more money than good taste. YMMV.
A good place for those with neither money nor taste…
Tennessee Williams lived in Kew West.
Ernest Hemingway.
Robert Zimmerman may be a nice person, but his poetry is not really that good and it’s not really that bad either, As anyone who has taken English Lit 101 knows; his words are merely distilled from English poets. Then Robert proceeded to transmogrify collective poetic works into the wishy-washy parse that pass as generational hymns. He saw the problem in the sixties, noted the reaction ie drugs, protests and provided a solution; ie.,conning the boomers with false ideology. He knew the boomers were suckers, stoners, acid-heads and excised his options.
Robert even had the nerve to borrow his name from Dylan Thomas, whose real poems are lyrical and romantic. Unfortunately Robert was merely behind the curtain; not the real thing.
Well, not for nothing Dylan got a Nobel Prize, and he’s in with Faulkner, Hemingway, Steinbeck and Sinclair Lewis, quite a select group.
Not to take anything away from Faulkner, Hemingway, Steinbeck and Lewis, but Barry Soetoro also won a Nobel Prize – of course he didn’t have to do anything…
Actual achievement is over-rated.
LOL, the first ‘pre-emptive’ Nobel Prize.
Well, there was some karmic justice in the Sotero award: He went on to be GWB in half-blackface, to the hilarity of all who saw through him.
There are still Eurotards here that will sometimes say in conversation “Yes we can,” expecting some kind of approving laugh from this ex-pat.
The brainwashing is impressive.
And it gives Barry-O’s supporters an accomplishment they can claim for their hero: “Well, he won the Nobel Prize.” Otherwise all they’d have is: “But Trump!!!”
So many eloquent explaining-class explainers, working for ???

Wallace Stevens
Poetry is one thing. Spoken word another. Sung word or lyrics, another. Lyrics are the oldest form of poetry. Did he take? Who doesn’t? Expecting otherwise is like thinking a plant can exist outside of soil, and without water or light. It’s a false ideal of existence and creativity. Fie.
> his poetry is not really that good and it’s not really that bad either, As anyone who has taken English Lit 101 knows; his words are merely distilled from English poets. <
That's how it's done, My Dear, for the last many, many years..
John Donne did the same. Was he "better"? Dunno / big don't care
Dylan speaks well enough to my condition- very well, in fact- and I'm grateful for that.
The pre-boomers gave us Dylan, the boomers gave us disco.
Bob Dylan ?
I HAVE heard of him.
And that’s pretty much it.
Believe it or not.
But , hey , I recognize the branch of service color for combat engineers and chemical warfare troops in East German and Soviet practice ! 😀
I could be wrong about Dylan , though ??
Several CFN regulars are associated in my mind with ” theme songs ” .
For example , this is GreenAlba ;

BackrowHeckler ;

Hey , wait a minute , that’s two songs by America . And there’s another two songs by America I like , but not associated with anyone in particular.
Anyway , up until two weeks ago I was unaware that I had been an America fan for 30 years.
Hmm…interesting take KesaAnne. It took me to thinking of a song by America that comports to my understanding of you…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm4BrZjY_Sg
Not sure how’d you take that, but it was intended to be a compliment. Of all the commentators around here, you sound like you’ve had a challenging journey.
Of all the commentators around here, you sound like you’ve had a challenging journey.
No doubt Kesa has had one of the tougher rides, but I suspect there’s a few here for whom it hasn’t been all free beer and nude mud-wrestling. I for one … came from a very modest background indeed.
Free beer and nude mud-wrestling gets Real old after a decade or 2.
Yeah, if the beer and wrestlers haven’t changed in 2 decades it gets kinda stale… But keep refreshing the beer and wrestlers, and, “Hold my beer and watch this!”
And you are still of modest means.
The meritocracy worked for a while.
“When I think Scotland , I think of the ocean.”
This could be Scotland, but it’s actually Cornwall. 🙂

Landsend, John o’Groats, same difference …
As far as you can get from Thurso, though, for Slugoon.
(cold sweats)
Going to Thurso (not that I’ve been, but my daughter has friends there) and judging Scotland by it is a bit like going to Hartlepool or Runcorn and judging England by them, although not in exactly the same way. 🙂
I know, Alba. I’m teasing. I was sat at a tea dance in the middle of a cold-front, in winter, in northern Scotland. They were extra-ordinary circumstances.
By the same token, you could do a lot worse than Hartlepool and Runcorn!
BRH’s number is a favorite dance jig for my 3-year-old granddaughter…
‘Splain please how a 36 year old has a 3 year old granddaughter.
Love the theme songs! Also, I have an appreciation for America the band as well.
Tug at your heart-strings, don’t they? The manipulative bastards! The songs of America (not all of them…) instantly transport me back to the summer of ’74. Not that I want to go back there, but if I do, I’m gonna try to grab the steering wheel.
Yes, very nostalgic of the bright orange 1970s.
I would go back there.
I was in East Germany then , and 8 years old. Obviously my perspective on that was a bit different from what is typical in the West .
And ’76 , in America , struck me as a rather good time and place to be alive too.
No computers then , but you commonly saw ten year olds free – ranging around neighborhoods without adult supervision.
Otherwise , the apparent shear amount of freedom generally then ?
Hard to believe now .
People were generally decent back then. Not all, of course, but most. That provided safety as the default. When things are safe, Freedom can run wild. And it did. And it was amazing.
When we went from putting iodine on skinned knees to engineering our society so that the scourge of the skinned knee would be a horrible artifact of a Devil-may-care past, we coddled away Freedom.
Of course, Hollywood corrupted people and then the default safety was gone. Freedom died a slow death.
KesaAnna,
It’d be interesting if you could return to your former German hometown, see what is like now and compare it to what you remember. Also, compare current life in that part of Germany to conditions in the South where you live now.

You mentioned Barry as the AntiChrist. Nah, he is not that good.
The Anti-Christ will unify all nations under his banner for a period of time. The globalist union will be the Evil ones domain. The people that the Biden mob are reporting to internationally will be the soldiers of the Anti-Christ. Is he alive today? ??? Will he pick a religion, you can guess which one, to unify the troops under? Is the internet going to be his Avenue? Will the Anti-Christ just be man’s inhumanity to Man and will just implode onto itself? He, or the attitude, will be worldly, humanist, power driven, hate filled, and impossible to resist. H
He will unify probably a world religion, be anti nationalistic and will have no good intentions, just the defeat of what little good is left in the world.
The result may not be salvation but extinction.
The Earth has had 98% die offs of flora and fauna in the past. Who knows, we may drive it again.
That was Og. I agree with you: he’s not impressive enough.
What if they kill a bil or 2? He might become impressive enough in a changing World. He is adored globally. Knock off 80mm GOP voters and Voila!
Yoho, are you familar that Jesus, speaking in Aramaic, would have phoenetically pronounced “baraq obama” when speaking of the fallen angel as lightning?
Why did Barry change his name to what Jesus literally, phonetically said when Je was describing Satan?
Barack, also spelled Barak or Baraq, is a given name of Arabic origin. … The cognate Hebrew term is Berakhah (????????) “benediction, blessing” which is related to the Biblical Hebrew given name Baruch (Hebrew: ?????????, Modern: Barukh, Tiberian: B?rû?, “blessed”
Obama is a Luo (Kenyan tribe) name meaning to bend.
But who knows? You may be right. It is said that “somehow” when backwardly masked, his “Yes, we can” becomes “Praise Satan”.
I read an analysis by a (claimed) expert in Aramaic back when BO was still President. He went through the structure of the sentence of Jesus telling His disciples that (paraphrased), “the fallen angel comes to the Earth like lightning” translates so that Our Saviour literally, phonetically, said the syllables baraq obama when describing Satan.
One analysis. Once. Circa 2014ish.
It made sense to me but my Prof. gave me a 50% pass in French 100 (i.e. what do I know?).
Like I say, he is adored globally. He ticks all the boxes. Black? Check! Mixed race? Check! Married to a middle linebacker? Check!
I thnk that we should keep a close eye on Baraq during this (his third) term.
Don’t believe everything your read, little Josephine.
https://www.studylight.org/language-studies/aramaic-thoughts.html?article=628
This is the kind of utter crap that fills half the interwebz.
And is quoted, it appears, but people who like to claim they KNOW The Truth.
Jeez.
And you’re right, it ticks all the boxes. Just not the ones you mean.
Yoho, are you familar that Jesus, speaking in Aramaic, would have phoenetically pronounced “baraq obama” when speaking of the fallen angel as lightning?
Why did Barry change his name to what Jesus literally, phonetically said when Je [sic] was describing Satan?
I am asking questions, you troll-y dope.
I seek The Truth while you believe in magic, explosion-proof paper passports and 6 vaxxes developed on an impossible timeline.
don’t believe everything you read, little Josephine.
D’uh! But is it ok to read and ask questions about it to an expert like Yoho, you troll-y dope?
As for giving me insulting nicknames, you’re awful at it. See, the whole goal is to zing the opponent with Truth.
You believe that Gates & Fauci are working towards a goal of 10,000,000,000 souls on our depleted planet. Santa-Claus Believer fits. GA, SCB. Get it?
Tekapo argues like a little girl. He states his opinion as Fact then engages in a barrage of name-calling, ad homs, strawmen and then goes stomping off to her room after throwing her birthday cake on the floor. Tekapo is Josephine. Get it?
OG, Let’s Have a Baby (thx, Yoho) makes no sense. You misinterpreted my one ambiguous sentence and now refuse to take my clarification on my thoughts and feelings you troll-y dope.
Calling me “Josephine” when “Tomahawk” would be more fitting does not make sense.
Ok, GA, here is the deal:
You must give me a nickname that both fits (i.e. Elephant Feet or Bull-in-China-Shoppe (BCS)) and hurts me.
It must fit me, Right? That’s how this works. Focus on my confidence or my arrogance or my too many personal details or something based on my many, many Real flaws, you troll-y dope.
Thank you for the link. I will examine it as I ask questions and seek The Truth, you troll-y dope.
You’re so damned attractive when you’re angry. 🙂
And don’t tell me what to focus on, Gorgeous, that’s not the way it works.
At the moment I’m focusing on how credulous you are, and previously I was focusing on your exact words that gave me your pissy postnominals.
https://dailystormer.su/british-blm-activist-shot-in-the-head-by-the-blacks/
Was it M5? The same ones who killed Diana! Perhaps a Black agent loyal to the Crown? What say you, Dame Alba?
Nothing at all, I’m afraid. Never heard of her before she was shot and find myself incurious, sorry.
It probably wouldn’t matter what I read, I’d most likely still not know what happened. So I won’t bother.
You’re into nature, aren’t you, Yoho?
I found it quite funny, given last year’s focus on them, that my daughters and I found ourselves temporary custodians of a bat at the weekend, in our rented cottage in the Borders.
They are a protected species in the UK.
We had to take it to a vet. 🙂
They are said to make ok pets. You can pet them a little. I don’t know if they’re very smart or affectionate though. Did it warm up to you, Allison and pale, dreamy Mildred?
Oh, GA, about Baraq Obama’s box ticking:
I get it from both the way that you think that I do as well as the way that you think that I do not.
That is, President Obama is Super Wokeman. He ticks all the boxes for the woke and for the anti-woke.
—–
Gorgeous, eh? So I’ve been called “a chick magnet” a few times in my life. Big deal. I keep pointing out that I am irrelevant and that it is The Truth that matters.
God bless you, GreenAlba. Have a Great evening!
We only had it overnight. Alison, who found it, checked the bat pages on the interwebz. She eventually phoned a local bat group, who said they didn’t cover our exact area so we should take it to a vet. They took her name, so she became the Responsible Batperson.
It didn’t look very perky and we didn’t know how long it had been in the house (it was on the kitchen floor). Per the bat pages, she soaked a paper towel and it got a drink. You can’t touch them without gloves, as they carry diseases, like rabies, so the first vet declined to take it, because of the risk of infection, but the second one relieved us of our responsibilty to Hamish or Boris (it was never finalised).
We learned that they can’t take flight from the ground. You have to put them up high, which of course you can’t do if you don’t have any gloves. Or a ladder. 🙂
Anyway, after driving 25 miles and back for the blessed bat, I hope it survived.
We don’t have a Mildred, pale or otherwise.
On the other hand, if the bat wasn’t male, Mildred would have done fine.
“So I’ve been called “a chick magnet” a few times in my life. ”
Men are hilarious.
But have a good evening yourself, OG.
Evening, I mean, not weekend!
Oh gawd, I was right the first time. Weekend bat-tery is getting to me.
Question: How many of the unjabbed would’ve simply popped that bat into a plastic bag, crushed it underfoot on the sidewalk and gone on about your day?
I’ve no idea, OG. My daughters and my grandson are of the unjabbed, and none of them thought to put it in a plastic bag and crush the life out of it.
YMMV when it comes to your unjabbled.
And it was the country, so no sidewalk.
Interesting. Of course any hard, reasonably flat surface will suffice when crushing a bat underfoot. A step-stone. A piece of wood.
I remember my Dad & Uncle dealing with bats in the cottage one 1970s spring. They got the job done with tennis rackets.
I wouldn’t want the little guy to suffer but he’d be crushed before I had my gov’t tell me that I’m now deputized to drive all over Hell’s half acre trying to save a wounded rodent.
They’re a protected species. No-one was there deputising for the government. I fully realise what you’d have done. Given your attitude to humans, I wouldn’t expect consideration for the natural world. I expect you’d kill the last badger too.
But you can’t look at a blood clot. Got it.
“I’m now deputized to drive all over Hell’s half acre ”
Not at all given to exaggeration, are you, OG?
Do you never tire of point scoring? Over an anecdote about a bat. It’s not as if we were doing anything else.
And I just checked Google Maps – it wasn’t actually much over 25 miles both there and back. I recall the SatNav used kilometers, which was annoying. My error.
O.G.,
What Would Jesus Do (with an inconvenient bat)?
I suspect that Jesus would understand that the insectivorous bat (not a rodent – not even close) eats a lot of mosquitoes – probably the best natural mosquito control. So I think Jesus would take that bat from where it is unwanted and park it on the trunk of a tree, and let the bat take it from there. I’m pretty sure Jesus would never have thought of stomping the life out of God’s Little Mosquito Control Unit, just to give the finger to the government. Hopefully Jesus isn’t reading today’s comment section…
“Jesus wept.”
Good question, BB. WWJD should always be considered and I will be the first to admit that I did not run that test when I asked the unjabbed if they would, like me, put the little disease-ridden non-rodent out of his misery and then go on about my day.
To be clear. I wouldn’t step on him to fuck the gov’t. I’d step on him to put him out of his misery, contain his disease-ridden little damaged body and then go on about my day.
Anyway, I was curious what other people would do but ultimately only got more yap from GA.
Of course, God is omni-potent. He knows our every thought and deed (including my admission that I’d’ve snuffed that life). Thankfully, He is a merciful, forgiving Father … and we are talking about a bat.
Yes, OG. LHB it is a bat we are talking about.
And if you go back to the first, very short post where Hamish/Boris/Mildred is mentioned you’d see that there are two clues, obvious to anyone without cloth ears.
One is ‘I found it quite funny’ and the other is ‘we had to take it to a vet’, followed by a smiley.
This kind of language would generally alert the non-cloth-eared demographic to the likelihood that they are reading a passing anecdote that the author considers to be the source of some minor humour related to the apparent absurdity of the situation.
But you seem to need to transport it to the front line of the culture wars, with your wish to claim that being jabbed or unjabbed has some relevance to whether one should save God’s Little Mosquito Control Unit (thank you, Blackbird – nice to know humour still exists beyond these shores!) or crush it to death entirely gratuitously.
You seem joyless, OG, LHB. I’m not surprised you spend your days wishing the time when the 95% of unworthy humans can be seem to be sizzling nicely forever would come quickly.
And nobody said the bat was damaged. It was stranded and may not have eaten for a while (the bat lady, who had a better sense of humour than you, laughed when she said not to feed it ‘unless you happen to have some moths handy’). We can leave the vet to ascertain the bat’s physical integrity, and you may go on your humourless way.
What? Am I not allowed to ask how many unjabbed would’ve put the little non-rodent out of his misery and gone about their day? I am not allowed to Believe that there is a correlation between the jabbed and being deputized to care for a mouse with wings?
I’ve killed my share of suffering mice and birds. I have never, ever done so gratiously and resent that statement.
I thought the little fella was hurt so I guess the whole thing is my bad. I don’t read, GA, much. I find you pompous and boring. TruStory
You may find me humourless. If you walked my 56 years in my shoes, you may appear humourless yourself. Who knows?
I actually split my guts laughing on CFN most days and sometimes more than once but, as Tekapo attempts her constant mud-slinging, I am “one weird cat.” My point is, don’t you worry your little vaxxed brain corpuscles over my humour or outlook on Humanity.
God v Satan has nothing to do with me.
God v Satan has everything to do with me.
I know. Those can’t both be True yet they are.
“I don’t read, GA, much. I find you pompous and boring. TruStory”
So ignore my posts. Really, please, please do.
And I find you mega-tedious and mega-arrogant.
True story.
“My point is, don’t you worry your little vaxxed brain corpuscles over my humour or outlook on Humanity.”
So, er … “I’ll tell you but don’t you tell me’.
Arrogant *****.
” I am not allowed to Believe that there is a correlation between the jabbed and being deputized to care for a mouse with wings?”
You may believe what you like. My daughter, who took on the responsibility for the bat, isn’t jabbed.
Quit with your childish vendetta. It does you no credit.
I don’t know anything about this dude, and we now live in an utter Hall of Mirrors, so YMMV; but I like what this man is saying:

No thank you to Tech-railroading solutions, if you please; those will not end well for almost all of us.
Dylan would ride his 500cc Triumph Trophy motorcycle around the perimeter of his rural property in Woodstock, NY, M1 .30 cal. carbine strapped to his back, patrolling for hippies. The Band, Tod Rundgren, Maria Muldaur, Van Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and the dozens of other musicians and artists who called Woodstock home in that period would discuss it at the one or two local bars in that town of 6000. Dylan wouldn’t socialize much, preferring to stay home with his wife and young son.
His 3rd abiding interest other than his family and his career was investing in real estate.

Someone told me, in the 1970s, He would see Bob on Rodeo Drive [shopping street in beverly hills]. Bob would drive a red caddy convertible.
Someone else worked at the local smoke shop. BD showed up and when asked for autograph, Bob flipped him off. F— you, fan.
It is impossible for us to even imagine what it is like to have people tugging on your sleeves and cuffs all day every day.
Especially back in the 1970s when flipping off one of a thousand people some Thursday would not be trending on InstaFart within hours.

The many crimes of Joe Biden…and gay trucks!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUl5jA-cQx8
Gay trucks was kind of funny but, all in all, not your Best.
Are you running into that obstacle, RL? It’s a Great character. Could’ve been a recurring character on SNL. But, interesting and comedic characters with their catch phrases grow tiresome quickly.
Writing keeps them alive. I’ll bet that your character had a lot more “grist for the mill” with President Trump tweeting daily.
Funny how Biden winning in 2020 was Good for your country (in your opinion) but Writer’s Block for your character.
This just in: RL has been lying to you.
He’s not a YT influencer, he just pretends to be.
He’s a confused grampaw with an identity crisis.
It’s always funny when the Libs own the MAGA nutters … gay trucks LOL

Slow Train
Bob Dylan
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Can’t help but wonder what’s happenin’ to my companions
Are they lost or are they found?
Have they counted the cost it’ll take to bring down
All their earthly principles they’re gonna have to abandon?
There’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend
I had a woman down in Alabama
She was a backwoods girl, but she sure was realistic
She said, “Boy, without a doubt, have to quit your mess and straighten out
You could die down here, be just another accident statistic”
There’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend
All that foreign oil controlling American soil
Look around you, it’s just bound to make you embarrassed
Sheiks walkin’ around like kings, wearing fancy jewels and nose rings
Deciding America’s future from Amsterdam and to Paris
And there’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend
Man’s ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don’t apply no more
You can’t rely no more to be standin’ around waitin’
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin’ over in his grave
Fools glorifying themselves, trying to manipulate Satan
And there’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend
Big-time negotiators, false healers and woman haters
Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency
All non-believers and men-stealers talkin’ in the name of religion
And there’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend
People starving and thirsting, grain elevators are bursting
Oh, you know it costs more to store the food than it do to give it
They say lose your inhibitions, follow your own ambitions
They talk about a life of brotherly love
Show me someone who knows how to live it
There’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend
Well, my baby went to Illinois with some bad-talkin’ boy she could destroy
A real suicide case, but there was nothin’ I could do to stop it
I don’t care about economy, I don’t care about astronomy
But it sure do bother me to see my loved ones turning into puppets
There’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend
This is a nice lyric. Probably representing dylan’s personal outlook very honestly i think.
My only criticism of him is of the failure to look deeply at the problem of the modern world and figure it out… I feel like, like most, he was content to rely on vague apprehensions and intuitions of problems without doing the hard work of actually dissecting true causes and effects or hammering out true possible solutions.
So it’s kind of symptomatic of dylan’s times (age of denial) that he was looked to as a “prophet” and insightful answer-man when he himself was content to “rest” (i think) in the satisfaction, aesthetic, and popularity of vague “artistic” gesture rather than the true honesty of actual hard-earned knowledge… in fake prophecy rather than actual prophecy in other words…
That said, i like foppy aesthete bobby d pretty well anyway…
How would Mr. Dylan “figure it out”, exactly, and potentially provide solutions; “solutions” that would, if improbably found and somehow
implemented, inevitably step on other more powerful persons’ toes, and likely get him, um, “defused”, if not worse?
“You mean he’s *not* The Messiah? How Dare he!”
We’re *damned lucky* he wrote and performed the songs.
Thank you, Bob Dylan. That is all.
There’s a responsibility for people who throw mystical language around to possess truths to which the phrases purport to point. I’m just not sure dylan cared enough about that.
But I like him. I listen to him, and I have no problem with the Nobel or anything. A great artist of his time, just a bit tainted by the time.
For instance… later in career. He could have done more study of economics and less drawing…
How is that unfair?

Something I’ve been wondering about lately is just how much the cultural product we’ve been graced with for the last fifty years or longer has been shaped by our intelligence agencies and their ilk. According
to the late Dave McGowan their influence has been significant, though
his take was also of the smooth, just-so manner that makes me wary.
Who shall one trust? These days I trust only what I can verify myself;
and if it’s on this here darpaNet, I assume it’s gotten-to until clearly shown otherwise, no matter the source.
Bingo.
Who shall one trust? These days I trust only what I can verify myself;
and if it’s on this here darpaNet, I assume it’s gotten-to until clearly shown otherwise, no matter the source.
What is this here darpaNet – is it a new organic hair shampoo?
JohnAz: I know a fair number of people now that have taken the experimental, untested-in-long-term-trials Covid injection and *have been sick ever since*; not to mention the 4,138 persons in the US (according to VAERS, which is way undercounting) who’ve died shortly after taking so-called the “vaccine”. Keep your head in the sand if you want to, but many if not most here will not.
What will be the *long-term effects* of the so-called Covid “vaccines”?
Adding: then there’s the explaining class’s explanation for the sicknesses post-vaccine: “you’re sick? good, that means the vaccine™ is working!”
It sure does; but for whom?
“It’s difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” -Upton Sinclair
What will be the *long-term effects* of the so-called Covid “vaccines”?
Protection for millions from the worst effects of the Covid-19 virus, and hopefully sufficient herd immunity for the pandemic to fade away. Isn’t that a good result?
It is Just marvy, Josephine. Little girls can grow up to be whatever they set their little hearts to.
Now lights out! Little girls need seeps. Nighty night.
I’ve never been a Bob Dylan fan, but I enjoyed reading JHK’s tribute nonetheless. Beautifully written and it was nice to veer away from the depressing train of current events that we all must normally dwell upon.
Yes, Mr Kunstler is a master of the short essay.
Mr. Kunstler did a fine job here- few of the empty adjectives in this piece that have often been found on the blog (and I think The Long Emergency and Too Much Magic are great). Bravo, Sir!
> it was nice to veer away from the depressing train of current events that we all must normally dwell upon. <
Agreed, especially since we'll see no people-benefiting action on any
of the Eternal Misdirections like:
-Russiagate Perpetrators to be Brought to Justice!
-Obama to be Exposed, and Real Soon!
-Election Recount™!
and on, and on, and on, and on, and.. no, dudes: nothing will come of any of it.
What'd we get? Some dude named Clinesmith..
Election Recount™!
The election recount “audits” are nothing more than another Benghazi – flood the zone with shit that never ends … the classic MAGA / Repub / Alt-Right playbook … keep the media hyped over nothing.
The Republicans and MAGA-type Trumpies literally cannot beleive that lots of people would vote for the Democrats … literally cannot believe it could happen. But it does – millions of Middle Americans are not consumed by the Alt-Right conspiracy jive.
Who knows about flooding the zone with shit? It might even work … we’ll see in the 2022 Midterms I guess.
keep the media hyped over nothing…an Alt-Right playbook
I am more and more convinced that I’m living in a parallel universe here.
Does it matter? It’s the only one you got.
’ A new Gallup poll today finds that 53% of Republicans think that Trump won the 2020 election. But only 26% of Americans identify as Republicans. Journalist Richard Hine crunched the numbers and notes that those percentages boil down to about 14% of Americans who think Trump is still president. They are a minority, but they believe the former president, who continues to insist that he won the 2020 election despite all evidence to the contrary.
Hey, the MAGAverse is shrinking, as predicted…
You are full of it.
All evidence to the contrary.
There is none. Not one piece of evidence that says they did not rig the election. The converse has tons of affidavits from people under threat of perjury that ballots were stuffed, illegal ballots were included, observers were blocked, and computers were rigged.
The Deep State of this country unanimously blocked all investigations. They did not even address any information at all, they just blocked the investigations. Unanimously! A set up totally. I wonder how many people would be indicted if the truth ever came out.
You are a dupe for the most corrupt political group in US history. Common sense has deserted you in favor of the thugs in the Biden mob.
Give one piece of evidence that the election was not rigged. Just one. It does not exist.
If it ever gets past the blockage the Deep State has put in the way, the SHTF and the Dems and RINOs know it.
C’mon Arizona. Not for Trump, but for removal of the corruption the Feds have foisted on the country.
I sincerely hope that if the Arizona investigational audit, BTW, the only one, shows intentional discrepancies, heads roll.
IMHO, the only way things will change is if people are removed from power.
Looks like they are finding some evidence of election irregularities in New Hampshire as well.
Roughly 1/3 of Republican votes were counted the other 2/3’s were not counted as a result of some fold in the ballot making the vote unreadable.
Oh my engineered failure that only affected the Republican’s how gouache.
All evidence to the contrary. There is none. Not one piece of evidence that says they did not rig the election.
You can’t do that, you know, JAZ. You can’t demand that your opponent prove the negative, because in both logical and practical terms it’s not possible.
I can’t prove there are no fairies at the bottom of my garden, just like I can’t prove there isn’t a million ounces of gold under Tucson. It’s up to the other side to prove the positive.
Give one piece of evidence that the election was not rigged. Just one. It does not exist.
I’ll prove two:
(1) Of the 50 states, 49 submitted their certified results to Congress by the legal safe-harbor date (Dec 8), including all Republican-controlled states. Wisconsin was just one day late because of a legal procedure.
(2) Some 85 judges in 60 cases were sufficiently unimpressed by the “affidavits” and other alleged evidence that those cases couldn’t get to first base. And it is ludicrous to claim that all those judges – many Republican appointments – are all Deep State pod-people, and all primed and programmed to ensure Trump was ousted.
The election was not rigged nor stolen. Trump followers are just being duped by the world’s biggest sore loser.
But anyway it’s as tiresome and as pointless as re-hashing 9/11 … with the greatest argument about both conspiracies being the obvious one: far too many people with not a lot to gain had to be on it, performing perfectly, and for none of it to have leaked.
You can’t do that, you know, JAZ. You can’t demand that your opponent prove the negative, because in both logical and practical terms it’s not possible.
Says the little girl who knows that God does not exist!
Oh my engineered failure that only affected the Republican’s how gouache.
It seems that the counting error occurred – in just one county for a state rep race – because the election officials used a folding machine they had hastily acquired to deal with the large increase in mailed ballots.
The machine put a fold through the oval of one candidate, creating a shadow that was incorrectly counted as a vote for that person. Why the counting machine did not detect (or reject) a ballot with two marks on it – is a question I have no answer to.
A logistical stuff-up for sure, but hardly evidence of Deep State malfeasance across the land. When you think there’s a conspiracy, check first that it isn’t just incompetence … it normally is.
I sincerely hope that if the Arizona investigational audit, BTW, the only one, shows intentional discrepancies, heads roll.
IMHO, the only way things will change is if people are removed from power.
Two points about that: (1) the evidence will need to be solid, compelling and concrete – arm-waving theorising by Cyber Ninjas isn’t going to cut it with anyone serious, and (2) all the people in power in Arizona – all those who ran and monitored the election – are Republicans. Who is going to remove them?
“Hey, the MAGAverse is shrinking, as predicted…”
Well aw-dawm,
I’m on 14th in Ponca City, parked. It is the busiest I have seen it- here in flyover erats. The appolumi are out and about.
I also heard 82,000 have moved from californicate to the l as nd south of the Red River.
You making any plans?
Red River Oklahoma or Red River North Dakota? Whatever – you’d have to be pretty desperate to live out near either. Give me California north of Sacramento, any day.
> That isn’t fear of a damn vaccine! That’s the guts to stand up to oppression, and guess what? The brains to see what’s going on here!
The fearful ones are still pretending it’s about a virus. <
Thanks for that, B of A, especially the apposite last sentence.
Gotten-to Fauci: "Do as you're told!" [especially if it slowly kills you].
No, thank you.
B7
That isn’t fear of a damn vaccine! That’s the guts to stand up to oppression, and guess what? The brains to see what’s going on here!
Um … it is actually all about a nasty virus, and attempting to defeat – or at least seriously ameliorate – a viral pandemic. Everything else is just conspiracy horsefeathers, and are ruinous to that effort.
You should be pretty ashamed, actually.
Says the little girl that believes in magic, explosion-proof passports.
Childish…give it up.
You’re too kind RL … it’s infantile, autistic, Asperger’s OCD,
But “childish” might cover it in summary. I wonder if the dude has a picture of the twin towers stuck to his ceiling? You know – something he can jerk off to?
The problem is not me, gentlemen. I am irrelevant. Truly we all know that.
The problem is that you, grown men, must believe in magic, explosion-proof paper passports to protect your little noggins. The problem is that you believe that believing such ridiculousness is ok here in the Real World and that your ostrich actions will not have advserse consequences. That’s the problem. It’s got nothing to do with me.

I’m wasting myself on pix of bldgs with the most wonderful woman in the World visiting me twice per week?
What outlandish, inappropriate speculation, Josephine. Go to your room!
I’m childish? US Gov’t slaughters 3,000+ Americans to pass the PATRIOT Act and War forever in the Middle East.
Looking the other way is childish, RL. Truly we all know that.
If me, several other commentators on CFN, thousands of Architects & Engineers the World over find gaping holes in Philip Fucking Zelikow’s Official Report, then adults need address the argument.
Children turn their heads, call the messenger of Bad News names and believe in magic, explosion-proof paper passports.
OG
If you are right about 9/11, and you may be, it condemns this country to death pretty much. The American experiment of individual freedom and responsibility is over. We become just another country where the people are managed by the government. Just another USSR, another Venezuela, another Europe, another China.
Just so a damn group of Liberal Democrats can have their little power party in DC.
The manipulation of the people by acts such as 9/11 or JFK shows a government that is just as corrupt as the USSR was in the 20th century.
Wait and see what tax and spend Biden and his mob do to the upper and middle class of this country. They are going to steal the wealth of haves and redistribute it to the have nots. Might work in an ideal world. Not here, ten years from now, the capital will be back in the same hands as now, and the have nots will be lobbying the government for even more handouts.
Government control and socialism will never work for the good of the people. Yohannon’s dream of a benign government distributing the wealth fairly is a pipe dream. The power contingent will always make it fail, as it always has.
Another thing.
Wiping out 3000 folks in the WTC. Even if it was a bunch of Arabs that did it, how did we respond? We attack a bunch of herdsmen in North Afghanistan and pushed them back to Kabul. Nothing with southern and western country where the poppies grow. Nothing to clobber Iran for backing up al Queda, nothing to make SA nail one of its big families. Nothing really.
Compare Bush to FDR. Pearl Harbor cost less people than 9/11, yet we destroyed two countries in retribution then had the wisdom to really destroy the militant spines of both in reconstruction. They have been wealthy allies ever since.
I think our government is just plain stupid.
OG – If you are right about 9/11, and you may be, it condemns this country to death pretty much.
Close, JAZ. Actually, it shines Light on the Fact that the USA is condemned to death. Worse, it shines Light on the Fact that the entire Earth is condemned to death.
That is why we have so many Santa Claus Believers on CFN. Otherwise intelligent people cannot and, therefore, will not accept The Truth that the pyramid Capstone has engineered our very existence our whole lives and they have engineered everything against God and towards Satan.
Also, it is not a matter of me being Right about That Tuesday. Michael Ruppert (RIP) did the investigative work. Thousands of Architects & Engineers have performed the scientific analysis of those 3 controlled demolitions that our very own bluekayak was an eye-witness to the second collapse from his vantage point on the Manhattan Bridge.
The Truth is blatantly obvious. It is not a matter of me being Right. It is, rather, a matter of me holding feet to fire in order to force Truth-deniers to face Reality.
Nothing with southern and western country where the poppies grow.
“Nothing” being no US Warring because the Taliban, who were in the process of shutting down the poppy fields in Afghanistan on religious grounds when they met the House of Bush at Dubya’s ranch near Crawford, Texas in the summer of 2001, go to the mountains when under attack.
The US military facilitated the House of Bush’s flooding of global heroin misery for the past 20 years. Sadly, Canadian military participated for many years.
I think our government is just plain stupid.
That’s exactly what they want you to think, JAZ. Actually, the US Government are actors, jesters and clowns doing what they are told – whether it be Maxine Waters, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Mitch McConnell or JoJo Magoo.
Yes – stupid, but only assuming they intended to do what they’ve told you they intend to do. There’s no evidence for that assumption. And much evidence against it.
The only way to bear the Truth is to have faith. It’s that bad. Faith in humanity? Oh, that’s a joke. Faith in God.
Get your jab yet?
IOW, you believe thinking for ones’ self rather than listening to the people who are criminally insane and in power, is ‘dangerous’.
Bill Gates isn’t dangerous, but some random commenter on a blog is.
Woo woo tinfoil, right there.
More of my awkward , off – topic crap .
” BRH’s number is a favorite dance jig for my 3-year-old granddaughter… ”
Like I said , BRH gives you a warm fuzzy happy feeling , even when the news is bad.
Seems like a big compliment to Me ?
” Love the theme songs! Also, I have an appreciation for America the band as well. ”
Good , because —- Plwwff ! , I forgot — yours is another America song.
I forgot.
Something you once said that reminded me of the opening lines of the song ,
” Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man , that he didn’t , didn’t already have. ”
But what was it you said ? It was weeks ago , and I can’t remember
But then , too , you post a lot.
So ;
” When I say I’m spinning round , round , round ,
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down , down , down ., down
Soapsuds green like bubbles … ”
Fits — in my way of thinking.

As I understand it , the author wrote the song in response to the death of a loved one.
And , in that vein , some people , like me , think the song is beautiful.
And some folks , like me again , think the song is creepy and frightening.
Well , I’m an East German in exile in America.
He’s an American in unified Germany.
So ; A song that provokes strong reactions , for a person who provokes a strong reaction.
( Hey , my reaction to ALL “Germans ” is strong. )

— which reminds me of some old Irish song , which I know nothing about , except the line ; ” You won’t appreciate your mother until she’s gone ” —- which reminds me of this song.

And the person here who most expresses the working class experience is Volodya .

Tekapo ?
Like Yohannon , you are really complicated.
Yohannon actually has two songs , and I suppose you WOULD mind sharing a song with him.
Oh well.
A classical piece.
A lot of folks associate it with corny horror movies.
I have no idea what Bach was thinking about when he wrote it.
Which is just as well , because I have always had my own take on it.
I associate it with Prometheus . In Greek mythology , the God who arguably did the most for man , but was damned for it.

And finally OGH.

WTF ?
I don’t feel like writing an essay.
So , briefly , what if God was like a stalker , but in this case the stalker thing was an absolute positive ?
An idea , I suppose , many or most Christians would think is loony.
And the bands name is coincidental irony .
But he’s stuck with it anyway.
And I suppose that’s enough weirdness for one day.
I like my two songs.
Volodya, working class? Successful trickery on his part. Rulo as well. Like Michael Moore or AOC who grew up in Westchester County.
You had better run from me
With everything you own
‘Cause I am gonna come for you
With all that I have
I am gonna break you down
To tiny, tiny parts
I never believed, but I see it now
I’m learning your lesson, I’m learning your lesson
That’s fair, KA.
in this case the stalker thing is an absolute positive Thank you.
I guess that I’m kinda like CFN’s Dexter. Maybe not exactly the way that it should be done but, nevertheless, holding feet to fire to force Truth-deniers to face The Truth.
Yes, he was a Sheep Dog that didn’t wait for the Wolves to come for the sheep but went after them instead. Offense is the best defense. Zoroaster taught the same: Evil is to be hunted down.
Thanks, Kesa, I love my song.
We’re definitely not in Kansas anymore.
I’m looking for a song for you too, Mary. I have an honor and a privilege to return…
I set a high bar.
That song (or medley?) is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.
“I set a high bar.”
Yes you do! (You are so hard to shop for.) This may end up being a birthday present…
What an interesting and very thoughtful tribute and birthday wish. If I had to pick a Dylan fave? Man in the Long Black Coat. The more things change the more they stay the same. And some things never change. It is written in the dust.

To be serious, it’s great Dylan. Layers of mystery and meaning.
Here’s one I was just listening to:

Very nice! Our very own Island of the Rising and Setting Sun. And if you want to get away from it all for real then it isn’t but a boat ride to Dry Tortugas. There it really is nothing but the sun, the sand, and the waves.
Hunter needs to be at the big meeting at the White House between the President and the Floyd family; they could hash it out: What’s more lucrative, the brutal, drug soaked street crime of the Floyds, or high level, drug soaked influence peddling of the Biden family? It’d be like Dutch Schultz and his grimy Brooklyn number rackets having a sit down with Herman Goering, international art thief. In this case Floyd’s come out on top with their $27 million payout from the City of Minneapolis, proving crime does indeed pay.
Incidentally, current news coverage of St George and the ‘Racial Reckoning’ doesn’t even mention the bloodbath occurring right now in Minneapolis and ‘Communitiess of Color’ across the country.
Brh
You know, you are right.
We are trying to get the perpetrators of the illicit it trades to admit their guilt.
Not only will they fight that to the death, they have incorporated it into their life style.
Hunter should be doing ads on You Tube for the cartels, the CCP and its fentanyl, the Colombian cocaine lords and for the Afghani farmers and their poppy fields.
The Big Guy will get his 10%.
Heard anything about Cash Gernon lately?
sssh. they warn of white privilege. I just read an article in a local throwaway about such.
Who’s got time for that? The BIG news is that Rogan criticized the Wokester cancel culture silencing of white straight guys.
LMAO. The white straight guys have big pulpits, loud megaphones, and millions of white straight guys listening to their grunge every day … they have the MOST media power by far. The opposite of being silenced.
The White Grievance industry is a laughing stock.
The only laughing stock is you.
Your ridiculous take on unreality shows how unhinged you really are.
Have you actually paid attention to anything?
The media portrayal of the white male is imbecilic at best and downright cuckolded.
Just where is this magaphone of which you speak?
Ask him if he ever heard of Ma & Pa Kettle ?
He’s completely oblivious to reality.
Mark Levin, the late Rush Limbaugh, Steve Bannon, Joe Rogan, Glenn Beck, Newsmax, OANN, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson …and a thousand straight white males who fill the media (as either anchors or interviewees) in every direction you care to look, from the lunar right through to the center.
No shortage of megaphones – but they’re still not happy.
I heard that straight white male christians make up about 28% of the population, but they want 90% of the power and all the voice. And if they lose their grip just a little, they go batshit crazy with White Grievance.
There’s no pleasing some people.
Why is Agent Po only listing conservative-leaning men?
What if I tell you to STFU Po?
I’m a woman and I get all the say now, according to you. Or does it have to be a BIPOC?
If you’re a white man and you believe your cult members, you should not be bossing people around on a public forum. That is a no-no.
So if that were the case, why are we vilified 24/7/365?
Because we don’t, in fact, own or control the media. The Tribe does. And they have a very, very deep grudge against us.
LOL … and you haven’t quoted from The Protocols of the Elders of Zion for at least a week!
All part of the infantilization of everyone.
Agent Po is proof of the emasculation. He wants his police state gov’t to take care of him. He doesn’t even want to have a voice in anything. He’s afraid if he speaks he might be mansplaining or talking over a woman, which is verboten in their cult.
Hey now, he has managed to procure a unit in a low-rise apartment complex.
I also recall him telling us he owns a set of satin sheets, prior to his ban.
U just jelly.
I think you can still make the 1 pm “two minutes hate” session on Twitter.
“The White Grievance industry is a laughing stock.”
Topped only by the White Privilege™ industry…
It is indeed amusing though to see the groups which can’t seem to get through a day without invoking the Perpetual Victim Olympics so upset when Whitey fields a team.
Blacks have totally dominated the NBA for decades. When the old Boston Celtics fielded a mostly White team (a business decision?) that was successful, Blacks were utterly mortified. It was racism! The unconscious bias of these people is complete and will never end.
Why is Agent Po only listing conservative-leaning men?
Because we are talking about what Joe Rogan claimed – obviously without any irony given his own megaphone – that “Wokester cancel culture silencing of white straight guys.”
If you wish to discuss the silencing of one-legged lesbian muslim commie blacks, then I could endeavour to find a list of those for you.
“Brown has since been charged with kidnapping and burglary but has not yet been charged with murder as police are still awaiting the results of forensic testing.”

He’s “special”.
“Broken hands on broken ploughs
Broken treaties, broken vows

The Wanderer
‘Often the solitary man enjoys
The grace and mercy of the Lord, though he
Careworn has long been forced to stir by hand
The ice-cold sea on many waterways,
Travel the exile’s path; fate is relentless.’
So spoke a wanderer who called to mind
Hardships and cruel wars and deaths of lords.
Frequently have I had to mourn alone
My cares each morning; now no living man
Exists to whom I dare reveal my heart
Openly; and I know it for a truth
That in a man it is a noble virtue
To hide his thoughts, lock up his private feelings,
However he may feel. A weary heart
Cannot oppose inexorable fate,
And anxious thoughts can bring no remedy.
And so those jealous of their reputation
Often bind fast their sadness in their breasts.
So I, careworn, deprived of fatherland,
Far from my noble kin, have often had
To tie in fetters my own troubled spirit,
Since long ago I wrapped my lord’s remains
In darkness of the earth, and sadly thence
Journeyed by winter over icy waves,
And suffering sought the hall of a new patron,
If I in any land might find one willing
To show me recognition in his mead-hall,
Comfort my loneliness, tempt me with pleasures.
He knows who has experienced it how bitter
Is sorrow as a comrade to the man
Who lacks dear human friends; fair twisted gold
Is not for him, but rather paths of exile,
Coldness of heart for the gay countryside.
He calls to mind receiving gifts of treasure
And former hall-retainers, and remembers
How in his younger years his lordly patron
Was wont to entertain him at the feast.
Now all that joy has gone. He understands
Who long must do without the kind advice
Of his beloved lord, while sleep and sorrow
Together often bind him, sad and lonely,
How in his mind it seems that he embraces
And kisses his liege lord, and on his knee
Lays hand and head, as when he formerly
Received as a retainer in the hall
Gifts from the throne; but then the joyless man
Wakes us and sees instead the yellow waves,
The sea-birds bathing, stretching out their wings,
While snow an hail and frost fall all together.
The heart’s wounds seem to be yet heavier,
Grief for the dear one gone; care is renewed,
When memories of kinsmen fill the mind,
He greets them gladly, contemplates them keenly,
But his old friends swim frequently away;
The floating spirits bring him all too few
Of the old well-known songs; care is renewed
For him who must continually send
His weary spirit over icy waves.
Therefore I see no reason in the world
Why my heart grows not dark, when I consider
The lives of the warriors, how they suddenly
Have left their hall, the bold and noble thanes,
Just as this earth and everything thereon
Declines and weakens each and every day.
Certainly no man may be wise before
He’s lived his share of winters in the world.
A wise man must be patient, not too hasty
In speech, or passionate, impetuous
Or timid as a fighter, not too anxious
Or carefree or too covetous of wealth;
Nor ever must he be too quick to boast
Before he’s gained experience of himself.
A man should wait, before he makes a vow,
Until in pride he truly can assess
How, when a crisis comes, he will re-act.
The wise must know how awesome it will be
When all the wealth of the earth stands desolate,
As now in various parts of the world
Stand wind-blown walls, frost covered, ruined buildings.
The wine-halls crumble; monarchs lifeless lie,
Deprived of pleasures, all the doughty troop
Dead by the wall; some battle carried off,
Took from this world; one the dire bird removed
Over the ocean deep; one the grey wolf
Consigned to death; and one a tear-stained hero
Concealed from daylight in an earthy cave.
Just so in days long past mankind’s Creator
Destroyed this earth, till lacking the gay sounds
Of citizens the ancient world of giants
Stood desolate. He who has wisely thought
And carefully considered this creation
And this dark life, experienced in spirit
Has often pondered many massacres
In far off ages, and might say these words:
‘Where is the horse now, where the hero gone?
Where is the bounteous lord, and where the benches
For feasting? Where are all the joys of hall?
Alas for the bright cup, the armoured warrior,
The glory of the prince. That time is over,
Passed into night as it had never been.
Stands now memorial to that dear band
The splendid lofty wall, adorned with shapes
Of serpents; but the strong blood-greedy spear
And mighty destiny removed the heroes,
And storms now strike against these stony slopes.
The falling tempest binds in winter’s vice
The earth, and darkness comes with shades of night,
And from the north fierce hail is felt to fall
In malice against men. And all is hardship
On earth, the immutable decree of fate
Alters the world which lies beneath the heavens.
Here property and friendship pass away,
Here man himself and kinsmen pass away,
And all this earthly structure comes to nought.’
Thus spoke the thoughtful sage, he sat apart.
Blessed is he who keeps his faith; a man
Must never be too eager to reveal
His cares, unless he knows already how
To bring about a cure by his own zeal.
Well shall it be for him who looks for grace
And comfort from our father in the heavens,
Where is ordained all our security.
adapted by Tolkien from the Anglo Saxon poem
Yoho: Did Dylan take? So did Tolkien. The question is not to take or not to take from Tradition (not other living writers), but how well you take, and use, and adapt. Of course the true scholar is careful to give credit as Tolkien did. The artist is typically less careful. He may not even know he is doing it, if the Tradition has become part of his subconscious mind.
Parts of the above were further adapted and used in The Lord of the Rings, very artfully. Adaptation is an art in itself.
Interesting… Just last night I listened to The Wanderer in Anglo-Saxon/Old English. Remote viewing again, weren’t you?
You listened to that because you knew at some level I was gong to post this. Or we both are the same “stream” to put it neutrally.
Ever read that one about how Christ was a Warrior Chief, and the 12 Apostles his warrior band – making him the 13th Warrior?
This liberal culture of guilt and tolerance is dead. Adopt these values and make them your own.
Heard some crazy Jesus stories, but not that one.
Ever read the story of the Flavian Caesars and how they invented a religion?
We’re in a ditch on a dead end road, and the maps that got us here aren’t gonna get us out.
Goes well with Dalton’s Wanderers:

Nice, but a very different vibe and conceptual system. This is like Christian extraterrestrials.
And therefore it would seem life itself is art. And not all for naught. Not that one can see their name written in the heavens. But would it not be all different if not for that one? And if the river does not flow how will the willows live?
And when the wind blows through the willows, the good news is given.
I got the information about Bob Dylan’s M1 and his Triumph motorcycle from an excellent book called ‘Bob Dylan, The Band, Van Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Friends in the Wild Years of Woodstock’, by Bernard Hoskyns (who Jim probably knows)
There’s another book out about the west coast Laurel Canyon music scene that parallels Woodstock, occurring at the same time, and involving some of the same people.

All poets steal.
“Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.”

The Great Simulator’s experiment has gone awry. His coding has a major flaw. Or maybe he designed it that way on purpose. He didn’t code in critical thinking. Leaving that out of the cosmic program has resulted in most humans refusing to see reality, and instead embracing magical thinking, global conspiracies, demonic intrusions and other such delusions.
What is happening Right now is exactly as prophesized, Shill.
His coding has a major flaw. Or maybe [H]e designed it that way on purpose.
Ye of little Faith. What outstanding hubris as your puny, little Human brain questions the Word of Almighty God!
Leaving that out of the cosmic program has resulted in most humans refusing to see reality, and instead embracing magical thinking, global conspiracies, demonic intrusions and other such delusions.
Indeed … although I’m not sure I would say “most” humans.
Most humans are going about their daily lives, and if they’re lucky, living a happy and fear-free life, without jumping at shadows, dodging hobgoblins, or praying to wrathful deities. The fearful demon-freaks are far more prevalent on here than in the general population, one suspects. Or at least one very much hopes so!
Tell us more about the Coming Alien Invasion.
This particular rant of his sounded a bit like he’s hearing voices or something. Maybe he got the jab.
You are too idealistic, IMO. The American educational system is so bad they don’t teach critical thinking at all, so the typical American has no idea of true critical thinking methods.
They do still teach critical thinking in school…it’s just been put in a box of late…which is not critical thinking by definition. And then when those students become adults, they get the NYT telling them critical thinking is dangerous:
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/18/opinion/fake-news-media-attention.html
Like “How can Philip Fucking Zelikow be telling me The Truth of That Tuesday and paper passports survive an axplosion strong enough to collapse a 110-story scraper where each floor was an entire acre?”, Shill?
Critical thinking like that?
Or … “He’s kind of got a pont there, notwithstanding my Israel-is-always-Right bias and prejudice. It does seem strange that 7.5B people know exactly how many Jews Hitler exterminated by none of us know how many people Hitler exterminated. What is up with that? Surely Jews are not more count-worthy than are goyim!”
We are in agreement on one thing though, Shill: There is a defecit of critical thinking in the US of A.
Not sure why you call him Shill. I mean, I get the near alliteration and all…but beantownbill has proven himself to be a pretty clear-headed contributor here, albeit old school and a bit curmudgeonly. He is clearly reacting to your provocation…but it’s not necessary on either of your parts. Just sayin. That said, what the hell do I know, carry on.
Thanks, Mr M. Blessed are the peace-makers.
While you were gone, beantownbill. got his shit in a knot shilling for Israel and lobbying to have my Freedom of Speech ceased. Shill believes in Freedom of Speech that he approves. Of course, that is identical to being anti-Free Speech.
Shill has countered with Onerous Garbagebrain. That’s fair. My Free Speech makes him uncomfortable. Discussing how 3 skyscrapers were pulverized by 2 airplanes 1 Tuesday by strip club-frequenting, coocaine-snorting Saudi jihadis with magic, explosion-proof paper passports makes him lose his marbles because, deep down, he knows who shorted airline stocks on Monday, Sept. 10, 2001.
On the otherhand, Bill, asked a Good question downstream. I Hope that he has re-commenced his journey to The Truth & Light. We shall see.

What in God’s name are you blathering about again?
You literally do the above shadow-fearing every day on this blog.
Fearing God and fearing global media bullshit are two very different things. You might want to go back to Sunday school. They still have cookies and lemonade there. I[‘d recommend it.
You literally do the above shadow-fearing every day on this blog.
Your logic is not clear.
I fail to see how being allergic to conspiracy theories, sceptical of so much disinformation lobbed on here, and preferring to stick to fact-based and science-based realities – constitutes “shadow-fearing”; it’s the total opposite, it seems to me.
I don’t “fear” any deities, for the obvious reason. I don’t “fear” the media either – I consume them very critically and sceptically … I understand they are big businesses in a competitive market-place, and they have to maximise audience reach.
Their content has to appeal to whatever market they perceive is out there. That is why they do what they do, to deliver audiences to advertisers.
Tekapo – “I don’t “fear” any deities, for the obvious reason.”
So who created the world we live in? Stephen Hawking and his “everything started randomly from a ball the size of an atom that exploded into everything”? Kinda sounds like creation to me.
Tekapo – “I don’t “fear” the media either – I consume them very critically and sceptically … I understand they are big businesses in a competitive market-place, and they have to maximise audience reach.”
Haha. But you believe them, knowing what you just said about their business origin.
Tekapo – “Their content has to appeal to whatever market they perceive is out there. That is why they do what they do, to deliver audiences to advertisers.”
That audience = you.
@MrMango, spot on.
His opposite-speak is entertaining as hell.

Mr. M has pointed out one thing. Here comes another.
The Big Bang started from a singularity, a point with no dimension, infinitely smaller than an atom. The entire universe has evolved (cooled) from that point.
0 dimension, infinite energy with the intelligence to create the universe. Sounds like a description of a Creator!
The Big Bang started from a singularity, a point with no dimension, infinitely smaller than an atom. The entire universe has evolved (cooled) from that point.
Yes – I’ve read a great deal about the first three seconds … it’s the greatest story ever told.
I find it totally, endlessly intriguing – wondering where and when and how it all began. How did something the size of a grapefruit expand faster than the speed of light, and now contain over 10^80 atoms … it’s mind-numbing, but brilliant, at the same time.
One theory is that has been a trillion universes created over a trillion trillion years, but our occurred and survived because the laws of physics it created worked just right. Could be.
But I don’t need a god or creator to explain it – and besides – it just pushes the issue down the road a bit: where did the creator come from? So it’s not of any use.
The world is going to end tomorrow, according to a totally-sound old Bible prophecy.
But don’t run to the underground bunker just yet – scientists say the moon’s colour is simply a result of it passing through Earth’s shadow in space.
Most people think that only that which cannot be explained by Science could even possibly be an Act of God (while Really knowing that Science Just has not quite got there yet). It never occurs that Science merely glimpses into how God works.

Rudy Vallee, one of the first pop music stars, died in 1986, but by then nobody was listening to songs like ‘Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries’, or ‘When Yuba Played the Rhumba on his Tuba’. But here’s Dylan at age 80, 60 years on the music scene, and we’re still listening to ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ and ‘Tangled Up in Blue’. What explains it?
One can only rhumba with a tuba so many times, Heckler.
But here’s Dylan at age 80, 60 years on the music scene, and we’re still listening to ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ and ‘Tangled Up in Blue’. What explains it?
Perhaps it’s just a function of time, and there are still enough of us wandering the planet who recall Bob Dylan pre-1970, but when we all shuffle off, those who are 30 or 40 today will not be so entranced.
Although a few of the true greats from the past still get a little airplay. Especially in jazz, folk, and the blues, which tend to be more conservative and change much more slowly over the decades.
I have three sons in their 20 – ranging from 29 to 23. The oldest was brought up listening to Dylan, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Jethro Tull et al, and is an accomplished musician (guitar, piano, vocal & performance).
The other two are not so gifted but are avid followers of contemporary music. The youngest – who can recite rap till I want to puke – is also an avid fan of The Beatles…go figure.
So, exposure to ‘good’ music (as defined by a parent) does create a receptive mind in the youngers.
No one cares, Maj.
What they do care about is that you now pretend to be a young YT personality known as the Liberal Redneck.
You just gave the game away entirely.
LOL.
Someone better break it to O.G. that the one thing he liked about RL is a big hoax.
I recall having a conversation with Mr Mango some time ago about this, where I pointed out that I had not seen RL claim at any time to be LR.
What RL said at the time (to OG) was along the lines of ‘off topic, but this is funny’, not ‘off topic, but this is funny and it’s me’. And a person would hardly be likely to say ‘look at this, it’s funny’ if it was themselves.
I don’t imagine RL or LR are particularly unique appellations in the US.
I never at any point thought RL was LR. If people want to add 2+2 and make 5, that’s their own business.
You are correct, Alba. I suppose I fell prey to the anonymous nature of the internet and presumed the best of someone I don’t know, nor ever will.
Shame on me!
Mary, I tried to tell him.
Redneck Liberal posted those YouTube videos and claimed to be the guy. And then when OG complimented him on his work, time after time, Redneck did not correct him.
I didn’t really buy that he was the YouTube guy but I take people at their word until they say differently.
RL clearly passed himself off as this guy, for weeks now.
Redneck did not correct him. Perhaps Redneck does not feel any obligation to put OG right when he makes 2+2=5. Perhaps Reckneck found the misunderstanding funny. I have no idea.
But nor did Redneck claim to be the guy.

That they are burying proof means something has gone awry. Also, why are they dragging Gates through the public opinion wringer? Did he piss one of the handlers off by having an illicit relationship that made his wife call it quits?
Something is not going according to plan…
Maybe. But it’s also become standard practice in recent decades for media outlets to publish whatever tf they want, and then later quietly issue a retraction after the damage is done. People hear it enough times and then believe it…the retraction is an unnoticed afterthought.
Something should be done about that accountability. But it won’t.
Agree; but the PTB are usually exempt from their treatment. Bill Gates is one of the ‘off limits’ people. Which is why I am wondering why they allowing the press to be on top of the divorce and alleged bad conduct.
When they did it to Nipples Cuomo, it went away the second he got back in line.
Billy G will be back before long. He just needs a standard PR break. Everyone will forget,
Maybe too many people were asking too loudly why the dog doesn’t bark. So the dog pretends to back. All is as it should be. We can go back to sleep.
Exactly, MrMango.
This is standard practice at every McMedia outlet now.
America’s Frontline Doctors is ON IT. Thank goodness for them.
“BIRMINGHAM, Alabama, May 21, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — A group of parents, along with America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) and written by Thomas Renz, Esq., filed a motion in federal court seeking a temporary restraining order “to prevent the expansion of the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for COVID-19 vaccines to include children under the age of 16,” according a statement released earlier today.
The motion was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama and is directed against Secretary Xavier Becerra and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It consists of numerous plaintiffs representing various interests and backgrounds, including “physicians and the parents of minor children who are alarmed about offering children experimental products that have not undergone long term animal or safety studies.”

Great Happy Birthday article Mr. Kunstler.
As for Bob’s song ‘Everything is Broken’ one might want to refer to Pablo Neruda’s ‘Ode to Broken Things’ as a source of ‘inspiration.’
I love how Onerous Garbagebrain has such an in with God as to know his thoughts and actions. Oh, wait! He knows all this by reading from 2,000 year old books written by delusional men. Or is it because his drug-addled brain hallucinated it?
If God exists, and I’m not sure either way, I bet no one knows what He is thinking. I do know, however, He would not look kindly to Garbagebrain’s insistently mocking palaver.
Can’t comment on your rift with OG, but I will say in regards to “If God exists, and I’m not sure either way, I bet no one knows what He is thinking.”
The general understanding of the biblical texts is that he told us exactly what he was thinking. Even if told through mere human scribes who were there or had second/third/fourth hand accounts. The message is stil lthe same.
You are correct, Mr M. You usually are.
What I don’t understand, how can anyone know if 2000-4,000 year old books were dictated by God? It’s just a matter of faith. What makes faith in one thing and not another? If you feel that the Bible is the word of God, then that’s just a feeling, and you know how accurate feelings are.
“What makes faith in one thing and not another?”
Faith.
And I don’t even go to church.
But I know this world isn’t random.
I’ll take the word of clearly educated people from thousands of years ago over the word of prostrated video game-playing jagoffs today. Yet that is who has the microphone.
I know what you’re saying, but actually the world IS random, at least according to quantum mechanics, and at the sub-microscopic level. But through astronomical observations, we can explain the entire history of the universe from less than 1 trillionth of a second after the cosmos came into being.
However, we still don’t know what happened before that, or if time even existed. Admittedly, we really don’t know anywhere near as much about the nature of the universe. Lots and lots of surprises are left. But what we do know now doesn’t need an all-powerful God to explain how things work. It’s just that we don’t know about existence from than darn t=0 to the first fraction of a trillionth of a second.
But what we do know now doesn’t need an all-powerful God to explain how things work.
need of God to explain what God has done is irrelevant, Bill.
There is God or there is not. It is binary and factual.
need indeed! need has nothing to do with it.
You have fallen down and believe that a scientific explanation of Moses’ parting of the waters proves that there is no God while, Really, you are simply discovering how He works.
Follow the evidence and apply logic, Bill. Do not start with, “We do not need God, we have Newton!”
I gotta quit turning bold on as I constantly fuck up and follow it with italics off.
Sorry. Again.
Bill,
Do you think that our Almighty Father would have us read His Word corrupted or incomplete? Rest assured, The Bible is exactly as He intends.
I’m unsure what adjective to deploy but I am _____ in the fact that I do not require Faith. I know that God & Satan Really do exist. For Reals.
God bless you, sir.
——–
I am sure that we can agree that Free Speech does, indeed, include me and mine. That’s the burr under my saddle. The hypocrisy of a guy named beantownbill. standing up against my Right to Free Speech.
“Do you think that our Almighty Father would have us read His Word corrupted or incomplete?”
When you start an argument from an obviously self-referencing premise, you actually have no argument, O.G.
RL, I simply point out fact. Bill was asking how we can Trust the words of the prophets, the Word of The Bible.
The answer to Bill’s concern is that God is Almighty and everything is exactly as He intended.
Whether you have Faith (as Bill seems to be reaching for) or confirmed knowledge (as I do), it is logical that an omni-present, omni-potent infinite Superior Being would have The Bible, read by billions, exactly how He intends.
He is all about The Word. He is The Word.
You can’t tell me that that is not logical because it is. In fact, it is The Truth.
When you start an argument from an obviously self-referencing premise, you actually have no argument, O.G.
This is undeniably, logically true RL – but we’re dealing with happy-clappin’, god-botherin, snake-eaters here – so I wouldn’t hold my breath that you’re going to get a sensible response from these pod-people. They’re all possessed.
It’s interesting how those who believe the god-delusion are most prone to believe every other conspiracy nut-fudgery – JFK, 9/11, election, coronavirus, vaccine, the Great Reset, the NWO … it’s a hugely long list of recent nuttery.
Those people are really really sad cases.
The Truth marches on unabated.
It’s just a matter of faith. What makes faith in one thing and not another? If you feel that the Bible is the word of God, then that’s just a feeling, and you know how accurate feelings are.
It is a circular argument that has no beginning or end. Religious texts are deemed to be religious because they claim they are texts from religious figures. QED.
So it’s a question of faith – and all those who claim there is proof of the existence of God (and indeed Satan) – and there’s a couple on here – are missing the point terribly. Religion has to be based on faith alone … proof is the preserve of science.
“proof is the preserve of science.”
Which has disproven itself many times over. Try again.
Proof is the preserve of science,
You know little about science, science is at best a theory of everything. I have as much faith in the Bible as a storyteller as science. Science is the religion of the humanist.
Have you been paying attention to the science you have been talking about. Are you aware that the cosmology physicists are now arguing about whether there was a Big Bang or whether dark matter really exists.
It is all theory! Have faith!
BTW, there is not much difference between science and the Bible anyway. The sequence of events is identical. Science has never answered the big questions at all.
Why are we here?
Where did we come from?
What is existence?
What is the purpose of life?
Remember one tenet, we have as humans created many things, but God created the minds that have created all those things.
No. You dope. There Really is God and there Really is Satan. It is not Just a mental masturbation game, Tekapo. They Really exist and they are Really battling for souls (including yours).
There is a point in time when Faith is rewarded. When all is revealed and one understands Albert Einstein’s assertion that Science does not disprove God but, rather, gleans glimpses of how God works.
What you cannot grasp with your little-girl brain is that, the way you state it, it would be impossible for God Himself to prove that He exists!
Basically you are saying, “God has never revealed Himself to me, therefore, He has never revealed Himself to anyone.” Your hubris is staggering.
You discount what I have witnessed. You know that I am Wrong? You do not, you hubric moron.
There are no atheists in Hell, you smug atheist.
Which has disproven itself many times over.
Exactly, totally, and precisely!
The whole POINT of the scientific method is that you hold something to be true only insofar that it is testable and disprovable. When it is successfully challenged, we move on.
If you cannot test and disprove a theory then it’s just hocus-pocus or voodoo. And 90% of what you nutters on here believe in is in the hocus-pocus voodoo category. And you don’t even recognise how anti-intellectual – in fact how anti-human – they all are. Sad.
You know little about science
I have two science degrees (plus an arts degree) – including a post-grad science one. What the hell would you know about my scientific knowledge … talk about a nonsense statement based on nothing but prejudice – and being a deadset grumpy Trumpy.
The OrangeManFraud lost, okay? Get over it, and move on, ffs.
Remember one tenet, we have as humans created many things, but God created the minds that have created all those things.
Sadly you are very wrong JAZ. Humans created a god as well, because they believed they needed one (or at least the rulers did).
Absent these absurd anti-human deities, human beings would probably be about 2,000 years more than advanced than we are.
It took the Enlightenment and the Age of Reason to drag humans out of the Mediaeval Darkness that had reigned since Christianity took over the Western world in the 5th Century.
God worship (Judaism – Christianity – Islam) has been a huge tragedy for the human race … but hopefully we’re getting close to tossing it all off us. Hopefully.
Tekapo – “… but hopefully we’re getting close to tossing it all off us. Hopefully.”
And finally, you reveal your goal.
James.
Thank you. You got it completely right. You distilled my feeling in one column. Dylan did a thing for 10 years. And that deserved richly the Nobel. He was brilliant.
Since then? Not so much. You’re right: occasional flashes of brilliance.
But there was extraordinary brilliance back then.
To my mind, the best of the entire century. And beyond.
I don’t know if his work will survive. It certainly survives with you and I.
Nevertheless, great column. Thanks.
Dylan did a thing for 10 years. And that deserved richly the Nobel. He was brilliant. Since then? Not so much. You’re right: occasional flashes of brilliance.
Albert Einstein did a thing for ten years (1905-1915) that were not only brilliant but changed the world. He is on the podium with Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin.
But after he published his General Theory of Relativity, he was pretty much done, and didn’t really do much for the rest of his pretty long life. But he had great hair.
Yeah, what a piece of shit. Not worthy of a second thought, Tekapo.
You’re a very strange person – especially imputing in others things they did not say whatsoever. Stick to your knitting, I suggest.
I am not a strange person by any stretch. I just call you on your crap.
So Einstein did nothing in the 20s, 30s and 40s? Ever heard of the Enola Gay? The long debates with Niels Bohr? Joining the NAACP and speaking out against segregation? Being offered (and declining) the presidency of Israel? Yeah, he was a one-trick pony to be sure.
What is your point here?
And no, I do not knit. Though my mom is quite skilled at that craft. Do you have a skill that we should know of?
MrMango, Blue Anon knows very little about anything and can’t wait to show it off.
Lol. Talking shit about Albert Einstein and his pathetic lack of achievements…
“MrMango, Blue Anon knows very little about anything and can’t wait to show it off.”
Mary, I suppose so. Amazing after just a week and a half away, and I can’t see that when I read his comments.
Thanks for the grounding.
I am not a strange person by any stretch. I just call you on your crap.
I used to think you had a bit of a brain but were just another far-right wing-nut batting on about pro-Trump shit. Now I understand you’re actually as dumb as pig-dribble.
Good to know … it will temper what I bother to write in the future.
Nice. You didn’t reply to anything I had to say.
I wasn’t trying to go for the win, but thanks for kindly setting it on my front stoop.
Bob must be disgusted with what we’ve become as a nation. Every warning he sounded, we ignored. Every cause he highlighted, we found a way to incorporate into the mainstream disillusion.
Oh, I’m sorry, we have drag queen story hour for toddlers now. Problem solved.
No wonder he stays out of the spotlight. I would too, if people looked to me for wisdom. Thankfully, I don’t have that problem beyond my own family and friends.
And even then, they rarely ask.
Tekapo should.
But he is on payroll, and I’m not. Bummer for me.
I cannot fathom anybody paying for that little shit show’s brain farts.
Surely budget would provide Better bull shit than, “Whacko! Crazy! Insane! Nut-bar! Nut-fudge! Loopy!” and then snittin’ out of the room like a sickenly spoiled little princess.
Tekapo’s smugness in knowing that God & Satan do not exist will prove ill-founded and hubric. TruStory
Valid points
Well Bob didn’t listen to Bob, either.
He sold out, as they all do. So why would anyone else listen to his warnings?
Selling out is called “growing up” in the music business.
I have no problem with that…
Ain’t singing for Pepsi
Ain’t singing for Coke
Ain’t singing for nobody

if you want to aggravate our local zionist, like to Brother Charles. At least I did and he went ballistic.

Mr. M, I like to think that ole Neiler still cashes his cheques.
Touche…
So I was out of town the last week and a half for my family visit road trip.
I’m sure you all missed me immensely.
Not one new conversation with any group we saw neglected the obligatory covid/vaccination discussion. We spent a lot of time getting up and leaving the room when everyone needed to tell their story.
It was fine.
But clearly, the topic is pervasive across multiple states. It has to come up in any given conversational cycle.
As far as I can tell, everyone I visited had been vaccinated. And made sure that fact was known. Granted, there were a few that I’m sure were just playing that card because everyone else was. Is this really where we’re at, I wondered to myself. Yes.
Hoping to fly south to visit others this coming fall holiday season…we’ll see if the govt will allow it for us “unvaxxed” then. I’m hopeful, but not expecting easy travel. We shall see.
The world is strange right now. People don’t see straight.
Bobby D probably didn’t get jabbed.
I am glad it wasn’t completely insufferable for you. It would be for me.
I agree, Bobby D probably would not get jabbed.
Nice to see you back here!
Good to be back with y’all…
I don’t know about the jab, but I do know Bobby D is not a racist asshole:
“In a rare interview that compiles conversations with Dylan over two years, the music legend spoke about […] the death of George Floyd.
“It sickened me no end to see George tortured to death like that,” Dylan said about the events of the past two weeks, which began in his home state. “It was beyond ugly. Let’s hope that justice comes swift for the Floyd family and for the nation.””
Esquire.
Oh so Bobby D didn’t realize Floyd committed stupid suicide by downing all that fentanyl. Not surprising. Celebrities often speak out on things they don’t have the facts on.
Like you, speaking of things when you have zero idea of the facts, such as…
“I agree, Bobby D probably would not get jabbed.“
Is that your opinion, or Trae Crowder’s?
Imagine pretending to be a YT influencer in order to try to gain more street cred.
Hilarious.

Claimed his work as your own, continually allowed O.G. to think it was you without correcting him.
You’re a big fat liar.
And, a YouTube Influencer is one of the most pathetic and despicable things to be, IMHO. Of course you are like a school girl gushing over some TigerBeat morons, because that’s the world you inhabit. Worshipping (even below D-list) celebrities.

As to what O.G. thinks, how is that my problem? As GA pointed out a few threads back (but no doubt you’ll claim to have scrolled past them), I have never claimed to be YT guy Liberal Redneck and she astutely explained – for the benefit of nutters & other irrational thinkers, such as your good self – that some people made an assumption and went with it, it not being my problem to disabuse them.
You really are a piece of work, MaryQ.
I’ve saved you the trouble, MaryQ, because you’d hate to have your malicious statement debunked so wouldn’t fecking bother, obviously:

I don’t actually recall RL saying LR was RL.
It seems to be an assumption that has grown legs.
But I don’t care either way, except to say that from the couple of videos I watched of LR, I agree with OG that he was funny.

I know about the videos, Mr M. I’m just saying that, as far as I recall, RL just said, ‘look at this, it’s funny’, not look at this, it’s funny and it’s me’.
I don’t imagine it’s impossible for there to be a RL and an LR in the whole of America. Or even that one borrowed the other’s pseudonym for use on another site, which is not remotely unethical, especially with the names turned around.
Joe Bageant referred to himself as a ‘Leftneck’. i imagine the names are not unique on the Interwebz.

Well, given how much flak is directed at RL, s/he might well enjoy seeing y’all believing something silly.
But I have no idea. Didn’t occur to me for a minute they were the same person. Might just have been saying ‘look, someone else with (almost) my name. And funny.’
After all, there’s a political party and a whole country named after me. ?

GA – The Great Late Joe Bageant called himself a “Redneck Liberal” which is where I purloined the handle. He being dead and all, since late 2011, I couldn’t seek his permission, but I expect he would consider it a compliment.
LOL thinks MSM Esquire is an impressive source.
It’ll do, as a quote source, MaryTroll…you’re not hesitant in quoting outright nut-job sources, I notice.
Can you tell us how a 36 year old man has a 29 year old son, ‘redneck liberal’?
Mary, things sometimes work differently down in Alabama.
RL – Everyone found that video sickening to watch, no matter the circumstances. So what does his quote have to do with racism?
Racism has already been conflated with nearly everything, and it appears you’re perpetuating that viewpoint.
He’s just doing what wokies do, dragging race into every conversation. I think they have quotas.
MaryQ – you’re obsession with “wokies” is becoming frighteningly pathetic. Seek help.
I’m no “woke” type, and it seems to me that in the CFN universe, those who “drag race into every conversation” are generally of your political-slant cohort, not mine.
Yes, we missed you, and happy to see you back. 🙂
Thanks for the trip report; right now it is hard to get a fix of the reality on the ground, which varies from place to place. I’m in the land of a 33% vax rate that will struggle to hit 50% by July 4th, the new goal. Thankfully, the owner where I work will not force employees to get the shot. However, it may ultimately not be his decision to make.
“Thankfully, the owner where I work will not force employees to get the shot. ”
And that right there is a frightening snapshot of the state of affairs in our “land of the free”.
Glad for you that your employer is taking that stance, but the fact that it even needs to be said is quite shocking.
Agree. Businesses are now being paid covid19 that they don’t seem to want to resist in order to practice medicine. Incredible. And illegal, and a war crime.
And it’s not Just the 4.x% of people in “the land of the Free.”

Sasha Johnson: UK’s Black Lives Matter activist in critical condition after being shot in head in London

And the story keeps changing. First it was ‘death threats’ made good, then when it came out she was at a party at 3 a.m., it was a drive-by, and now it’s men who crashed the party.
That’s because they’re desperately flailing around trying to work out how to blame ‘systemic racism’ or ‘white privilege’ but so far coming up short. I can almost feel the disappointment and frustration at BBC HQ.
Expect a very short news cycle on this one.
Oh what do you know, it was four black men.
Whoopsy.
There goes the ‘death threats’ trope.
Of course it was. If the BBC doesn’t tell you that it was four black men, then it was four black men.
he 1964 Civil Rights Act is an illicit second constitution that tramples upon white interests. This Act empowers any group that can analogize to the situation of Negroes in the 1950s South. This includes immigrant terrorists, men pretending to be women, etc. Furthermore, sub-Saharans failed to live up to their end of the bargain. Implied in the act was avoiding crime, serving on a jury in good faith, etc. That did not happen.
Sub-Saharan behavior coupled with non-white immigration means that no white can genuinely trust a member of the Democratic Party or those advancing the interests of “marginalized” groups. “Civil rights” is a racial attack — an attempt to overwhelm and suppress whites. Additionally, believers in “civil rights” misread data. “Civil rights” supporters must point the arrow of causality regarding social problems the wrong way. With “civil rights,” it’s “police violence,” not sub-Saharan crime — a Muslim ban becomes “baseless,” rather than a rational response to considerable Islamist violence, etc. This fact is often understood by many, but cannot be expressed due to the social victory of “civil rights.”

Po’ li’l whitey…I feel soooo sorry for you, Yoyo!
What color are you? Plu-perfect purple?
Fella, I’m as white as any other Scots-Irish mongrel.
I just don’t ‘feel’ like I’m being picked on like you whack-job white supremacists.
That’s cuz you dumb. A natural slave as Aristotle would say.
Curious…What do you do for a living, RL?
“That’s cuz you dumb”
Practicing your ebonics, Yoyo, for the coming black ethnostate?
“Curious…What do you do for a living, RL?”
To what does the “curious’ refer, Mr. M? That you are curious about what I do, or that my statement to which you are responding is curious?
You’re too enslaved in the cult mindset to see it, which is no surprise.
“You’re too enslaved in the cult mindset to see it, which is no surprise.”
A perfect example of your intense cognitive dissonance, coupled with the Dunning-Kruger effect, which is no surprise, MaryQ.
BLM wants the Black Ethnostate and you support BLM (of course!), so you must want it too, right? And if you don’t, why do you support a Party or Movement that does?
Are you a masochist or just a garden variety fool? As Anthony Quinn says in Laurence of Arabia, Thank God that that He gave you the face of a fool otherwise someone might get offended by you.
Fella, I’m as white as any other Scots-Irish mongrel.
Jeez, I go away for a coupla hours and all manner of firefights occur!
I’m a white mongrel English-Scots-Kraut as well … but I also understand that the white guys still have 90% of the power, influence, and money.
These white supremacists and other gap-toothed nativists simply cannot accept that the world – and the US in particular – is going to be shared around a bit.
They could not ever handle that n— Barack Obama in the White House; they felt like they had been totally betrayed and defiled, and “Their America” had been stolen from them.
And it continues today … that former guy didn’t cause the MAGA white supremacy thing, he simply recognised it and played on it. Sad.
But RL – I really think you’re on a hiding to nothing arguing with these lunar-right dudes … you’ll never change their mindset. So why bother trying?

Is this really the way you and your ilk view the ‘other half’ of society? If so, that explains much. Speaking in absolutes is a bad way to get one’s point across, but thinking in absolutes is downright dangerous.
@MrMango well we now know it’s not as an influencer on YouTube.
It seems you are likely correct on that, Mary.
@RL ‘identifies’ as an ignorant hillbilly persona on YouTube but wants to edumacate me and others.
He learned a shiny new term looks like: “Dunning Kruger”.
Can’t use it appropriately though.

I come to divide every household, three against two and two against three.
I come to cast Fire upon the Earth, and what would I but that it be already kindled.
I come to separate the sheep from the goats.
Fr James also told his flock not to get the vaccine. What a man. I’m sure they really, really loved that part too. What started the Fr James show? He said Catholics couldn’t be Democrats. How many Catholics voted for Obama, Clinton, or Biden? Zero!
Fr James, image of Christ, pray for us.
What is Father James doing getting all political anyway?
Spiritual values aren’t just for one hour a week on Sundays. They must be reflected in our daily life. No sane person would take experimental drugs, so he’s trying to keep his children from destroying themselves. The Hierarchy, Wolves in Shephard’s clothing, worship Satan and greatly desire the destruction of the faithful.
“Spiritual values aren’t just for one hour a week on Sundays.”
Thanks for that Yoyo…that’s a huge revelation to me. Gee, how’d I ever think they were, even after being taught by Catholic nuns & brothers most of my school life, they not being in the least bit hypocritical?
So, anyway, Father James is claiming that “God” told him not to use the vaccine and to warn all others of it too?
More likely, he just has an opinion (and, being human, he’s entitled to it of course), but has he any right to proselytize his opinion from a position of power?
The rest of what you’ve stated is just the usual paranoid faux-philosophical tripe…
If you know, why did you ask? Act like you know if you know.
No, there’s no need for Divine Inspiration to know not to take the Jab. He’s just using Reason. Just!
He was a lawyer before becoming a Priest and has taught logic at the University level if memory serves.
RL – “More likely, he just has an opinion (and, being human, he’s entitled to it of course), but has he any right to proselytize his opinion from a position of power?”

The Pope for one. The One.
You “quoted” him. Reference, please, or admit you’re a devious lying exaggerate-for-effector.
Here you go:
https://www.ncronline.org/news/vatican/pope-francis-suggests-people-have-moral-obligation-take-coronavirus-vaccine
“I believe that morally everyone must take the vaccine,” […] “It is the moral choice because it is about your life but also the lives of others.”
That’s a very long way from your post, stated as a quote:
“Thou shalt bow down to Big Pharma as your God”.
I guess you could claim editorial prerogative or some such bullshit, but what it is, in fact, is a demonstration of your dishonesty.
No, it actually is not, when one considers the immense influence of his position.
But I am not surprised that you can’t see that things can be worded or expressed in more than one way. I’ve noticed your proclivity for not being able to stray from literal quotes, that you cherry pick. No thought involved, just behaving like a street monkey clapping his little cymbals.
Wow, Yo, check THIS quote out. Even worse! And from the NYSlimes itself, all the truthiness that Agent Po and RL crave:
“Pope Calls Coronavirus Vaccinations an Ethical Obligation

Hey, I’m a fiscal conservative (oxymoron) and a social liberal (oxymoron). I also freely admit to being an asshole.
Recognition is the first step in … rectifying the problem.
LOL!
Hey, I’m a fiscal conservative (oxymoron) and a social liberal (oxymoron).
The true oxymoron is that you CANNOT be both a fiscal conservative and a social liberal.
Because the result of fiscal conservatism – the type of raw ruthless capitalism that results from “fiscal conservatism” works against all the social outcomes you might prefer in your idealised “social liberalism”.
Genuine liberation of humankind in the social realm also requires social democratic / socialist economic and political reforms too.
The way it is kid. Your doublet simply does not fly.
You’re seriously gonna pick that statement apart, too?
Ever heard of picking your battles?
I keep suggesting to you that speaking in absolutes is a weak position, as you will always (<– an absolute) back yourself into a corner.
Oh, and his statement was not a doublet.
This might be the biggest FAIL of a comment from you and that’s really saying something.
Your entire premise is incorrect, but you spew it from some voice of authority.
Which makes it just out loud laughable.
His word salads are painful to read.
If one is going to argue based on one’s own personal definition of a term that already has widely accepted definition, one should at least make one’s own definition something of substance.

beantownbill said. “What I don’t understand, how can anyone know if 2000-4,000 year old books were dictated by God.”
“Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.” [ guess who ]
I’ve been asking people for years to explain how one verse of scripture was written. What it contains is beyond the ability of any of us.
https://dangerousintersection.org/2007/06/18/believers-versus-skeptics-by-the-numbers/#comments
“These evidences of deep design in the Bible’s opening words throw a completely new light on the true status of the Judeo-Christian Scriptures, for Who alone is capable of simultaneously speaking into existence a meaningful sentence copiously embroidered with such a variety of significant number structures – these incorporating the Author’s own signature.”
http://www.whatabeginning.com/Misc/Wonders/P.htm
Tekapo claims. “Religion has to be based on faith alone … proof is the preserve of science.”
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith YHWH: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”
God doesn’t insist on “faith alone”. STRAWMAN !
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith YHWH: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”
I rest my case, Your Honor – that was pretty easy. They use the “Word of God” to validate the “Word of God” – supreme circularity it seems.
Anyway – arguing about religion is completely and utterly pointless. As a famous social hostess said early last century, “When at a dinner party, do not discus, sex, religion, or politics!” – and she was right.
Well, if you can’t even get a us eull definition
A useful definition for what we are discussing might be nice.
All I did was show you your definition is flawed, which is part of why our communication is failing.
I wasn’t “validating” the Word of God. Validation occurs [ as stated above ] “Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.” [ guess who Rev. 19:13 ]
Just a verse from the Bible which shows you haven’t grasped the whole issue.
Just a verse from the Bible which shows you haven’t grasped the whole issue.
No … just a verse from your “bible” which very clearly demonstrates the circular illogicality of your argument. You really cannot quote the bible (or any text) in order to prove the truthiness of that very text.
Even you (and in fact all happy-clappers) should be able to understand that.
“You really cannot quote the bible (or any text) in order to prove the truthiness of that very text.”
When I say ” A ” and ” A ” is recreated in your mind, we have communication. If I say ” A ” and anything else is recreated in your mind we have miscommunication.
All I’m doing right now is showing that your definition of the word “religion” causes you to oppose religion because it is inaccurate. Your put-downs do not change this, only illustrating your rancor, and perhaps some frustration, like myself, in being able to exchange symbols with another that will aid in the guesswork of communication.
Wrong symbol :
Validation vs. Testability
“The crucial part of obtaining proof for a hypothesis is ensuring that it has an inherent testability.”
https://explorable.com/testability
“Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak of myself.”
A scientific way to prove a hypothesis.
You bring a lot to this table, MD. Thank you!
Tekapo – “They use the “Word of God” to validate the “Word of God” – supreme circularity it seems.”
But of course you realize your slam-dunk statement above is just as applicable if you swap out “Word of God” for “Science”…yes?

Yet that’s all the social justice warriors and lefties can talk about…and attempt to require others to talk about.
My recent family road trip visits can confirm.
I like some of Dylan’s music, but he borrowed heavily from Woody Guthrie at least in his early career, and Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and others stand tall in their boots next to him. The Last Waltz album is testimony to that…..
A very talented person from that era who sadly doesn’t get the attention he deserves was Gram Parsons.
Those true pioneers of the high lonesome sound like Parsons, Emmylou, Union Station, Vince Gill, The Band (especially Rick Danko). Well, let’s just say a lot of their work breaks your heart when you listen to it. It’s about real human experience.
Blue Rodeo, a Canadian band emulated some of that in the past years.
Jim wrote a while back that people don’t ‘ sing together’ anymore. I think I know what he means. I listened to a version of Peter,Paul & Mary singing live at some benefit concert recently. ‘Blowin in the Wind’, a live performance, and an error where they didn’t ‘join up’ on a particular chorus, but it was just so wonderful anyway. The blend of those voices, and especially their expertise with harmony. It’s like something from ‘bygone’ days. Thank you Jim for reminding us how much those great artists gave to all of us and the world.
Joni, Neil, Rick Danko, Blue Rodeo. Oh Canada!
In the 1990s I caught Rick Danko play to a crowd of not even 20 people. I should have spoken to him.
I read Roy Orbison, in a lull, sang at an auto show to a tiny crowd.
Gram Parsons had talent but he f##kd around too much and OD’d at age 27, a trust fund kid who preferred wasting his time with Kieth Richards in the South of France instead of getting down to hard work in the studio in LA.
Part of the aforementioned Laurel Canyon crowd.

Tucker’s talking about a Sixty Minutes segment done by Leslie Stahl about tranny kids. Apparently she committed a real act of Journalism – something she is not known for. The usual suspects are outraged because she let kids talk about the very, very dark side of all this.
One woman had “top” surgery after a few months of testosterone. She told her therapist, Being a woman isn’t working for me any more. The therapist’s reply, “Ok” Well then! It felt all wrong so she stopped. As she said, I transitioned and then detransitioned all within a a year. “Crazy”.
Tucker, Yes crazy, as well as reckless and completely unethical.
A boy was castrated within THREE MONTHS of beginning the process. It used to take years and years. He immediately wanted to kill himself and utterly regrets the whole thing.
Many Therapists agree but are afraid of what will happen to them if they don’t support young people. Where did this fear come from? Who decides what is good? Obviously not the Therapists as individuals. Some decision is made at the top – and of course all kinds of money are involved. Think Bill Gates might be involved? And those behind him who want this for reasons beyond money?

I agree with you that the bar should be set quite high, prior to any transition plan from one sex to another. I think the whole issue of puberty inhibitors is fraught with difficulties as well.
But then you go and spoil it all by implying vast left-wing conspiracies, and an over-riding “authority” that is ordering stuff.- even invoking Bill Gates!
There is absolutely no need for this. It’s nonsense.
What is happening is a politically correct response / reaction to a whole generation of kids (possibly many generations) – where kids really felt they were boys in girls’ bodies, or vice versa. And those kids went through hell from say five to 25 – often leading to suicide, drug abuse, prostitution, and unhappy lives.
But I agree that it’s a gross over-reaction by various medical, school, and state authorities … a moderate response doesn’t seem possible thee days.
Tomboys are a natural evolution, boys in girls bodies is a load of crap. Healthy kids go through a self sex love time as they learn to identify as who they are, then an opposite sex love time as they mature. For those that mature that is. That is the job of the parents to explain the changes they are going through, to teach boys to respect girls and to teach girls to respect the physical strength of boys. Women’s lib sorta destroyed the second with a huge consequence of inter sex violence as a result. This is reality, no matter what the Wokesters think.
Wokesters, what a joke. What happens when you set a group of undereducated really dumb children on society and give them adult responsibility? Exactly what we have seen happen.
The real cause of boys in girls bodies is the varying speeds of sexual development in girls. It must be tough trying to become a woman when Mother Nature does not cooperate. Especially when it comes to the “girls” on the chest. Emotional damage is done to girls when they do not grow up as fast, is it any wonder they think they should be boys?
Again and again, it is the fault of the parents to not understand and support their girls during the roughest part of their lives. Instead they butcher them.
Again and again, it is the fault of the parents
And also the fault of the evil fucks messing with our children’s nature (food supply, jabs) and nurture (mass media, porn).
Cop out, OG.
Parental control from births sets the tiller in a kid. When they leave home to go to school, you progressively lose control, so what you program in, is what happens.
Parents are no. 1, 2 & 3.
I don’t think that it is a cop out, JAZ. Rather, that is what is going down.
Mass media & porn screwed up the adults and the children. Now, in 2021, when they push their “everyone will love you if you sacrifice your manhood” shit on 5 year-olds, parents are proud if Little Billy wants to be Wilma.
They do this to blaspheme God. Truly we all know that.
Ye shall reap what ye has sewn.
If a kid is taken over by drugs, porn, whatever, whose fault is it?
These things show up because of demand economics, there is a market. Parents are responsible to put the psychological armor on their kids to reject this crap. Overindulgence is killing the morality of this country.
BTW, the primary sources of the adolescent battleground are parents and peer groups. If the parents give up their responsibility of socialization to the peer group, and I include school as part of the peer group, then the disaster we are witnessing is naturally going to happen.
Lord of the Flies was Salinger’s statement on children without parental control. Scary what children can do.
The children of the NWO are really scary.
If a kid is taken over by drugs, porn, whatever, whose fault is it?
Common wisdom once was: “It takes a village to raise a child.”
They have engineered our society away from man in God’s image and into parents that are 3rd- and 4th-generation lost.
Whose fault? The kid. The parents. The peer group. The school. The TV. Social media. Hollywood.
Ultimately we agree, JAZ. Many of today’s parents are not doing well. I contend that this was the goal when Ed Sullivan showed Elvis from the waist up.
JAZ,
Parents can’t control what they don’t know about.
The PTB have made sure to set up a system in schools where kids are pressured by their peers, and kids are naturally curious so… the result is a shit storm.
Example, my boss is about the most attentive and devoted mom possible. Her daughter still became severely anorexic, without her knowing. How? they get good at hiding it until they can’t. And the kids at school feed off this stuff, the disorders, etc. I understand it because it was around when I was in high school.
Even the best brought up kids hide shit from their parents.
“Lord of the Flies was Salinger’s statement[…]”
I think you’ll find that William Golding is not J.D. Salinger…
Well said, and many parents are to blame, but many are blind-sided, and don’t even know what happened, and then are threatened with all sorts of horrible stuff if they don’t comply with the child’s new ‘identity’ once the child has been sufficiently brainwashed.
A dad in Canada was jailed for trying to keep his daughter from transing.
The authorities doing this are children with no idea of morality.
Children raising children has always been a major problem.
“Women’s lib sorta destroyed the second with a huge consequence of inter sex violence as a result.”
JohnAZ, are you seriously suggesting that there was no ‘inter sex violence [sic[]’ prior to “Women’s lib’?
I posted a link which proves it’s not ‘nonsense’ and there are millions of dollars behind pushing the trans agenda.
I’m sure though that Gilead just did this out of the goodness of their hearts, because Big Pharma is oh so generous.

You have to hand it to them though. All it seems to take to dupe a large percentage of the population into supporting war, poison, and a police state is to wrap one’s corporate self in a rainbow flag.
It is obligatory now. Just the latest trend in corporate PR.
“Ok! Ladies & Gentlemen! We need a 30-second spot that can be edited to a 15-second version. We need a mixed race couple, lots of rainbows and a castration.
I’m going to have you break into groups of 6 to brainstorm. Remember, nothing is off limits. Sex with aliens. Lizard Queen. Village People. No holds barred.”
You got it.
What was that saying about never underestimating the stupidity of the average person?
It makes me want to join the WEFers on some level, I must admit.
The slightly evil side of me knows the Useless Eaters should get what is coming to them, and that I could even profit from it in several ways, but the darned Renaissance humanitarian in me just won’t shut up.
At this point, who would argue with the proposition that: “most of the human race has to die”? The problem is – as always -where do we draw that dividing line?
MaryV et al.
Big Pharma is the result of people demanding immortality and being promised it by the AMA.
Demand industries are the result of people wanting their products. Blame the folks, not the industries.
Same with the government.
Utter bullshit. They are predatory as it gets.
I’m with Mary on this one, JAZ.
Big Pharma was the the result of demand decades ago…when the well became dry, they then out of necessity began finding the next thing to push on the populace to bring the books back to black for their investors…they are not merely “filling a necessary role” anymore…they are creating it.
That said, the folks have become pretty stupid, too. So they are partly to blame…
Look up “Hegelian Dialectic,” JAZ. I’m sure you probably already know what it is.
even invoking Bill Gates! There is absolutely no need for this. It’s nonsense.
“The Gates Foundation is not into social engineering, silly billy!”
So who’s involved in all this freakery — the Pasty Whites?
Same crowd across the board for all of the insanity (CRT, anti-racism, trans agenda, 1619 project, covid cult, free stuff for illegal immigrants, etc), white liberals mostly and then all of the BIPOC who buy into their insane wokesterism.
Yeah, instead the pass the blame and responsibility to the person who is emotionally unable to make this decision. Any therapist that considers sexual butchery as an alternative should have their license taken away.
Again, where are the parents.
Ah yes. Parents.
Kids all go through hell in early adolescence. The main source is what the have been raised like versus the peer group.
What a deal. A bunch of kids telling each other how to handle their worlds when none of them have a clue.
Parents are the tillers of their kids at this age. No wonder this world is so screwed up with the quality of parentage that shows itself today.
BTW, Po are you a parent?
They all should lose their licenses.
Now the gov’t is pushing for kids to be able to do this without their parents’ knowledge.
Think Bill Gates might be involved? And those behind him who want this for reasons beyond money?
I am confused, Yoho. GreenAlba, SCB has assured us that Bill Gates, Dr Anthony Fauci, et al are doing their very Best for mankind in their efforts to further grow the overpopulation of our depleted planet.
I find you to be dishonest, and not for the first time, OG, LHB (would have dropped it but I see you are at your tricks again).
I have said nothing about Gates (apart from, as I recall, a request to malthuss to let me know which of the 250-300 vaccines were owed to him), and specifically said Fauci is nothing to me but some furrin medic.
I very definitely never commented on them doing their very best – or anything else – by either the US population or that of the world.
You should be ashamed of yourself, you farcical ‘Christian’ who tells people to do their best to follow the commandments.
Does the one about not bearing false witness not count any more?
Shame on you for your dishonesty.
Sorry, I guess that should be OG, LHB.
GA, SCB. You Believe that everything is in its own, little vacuum.
You Believe in the safety of the impossible 6 vaxxes but have no thought nor comment whatsoever vis-a-vis the vax-pushers.
I am not bearing false witness against you. You Believe that Gates & Fauci are doing what they are doing by your advocating their downstream activities and negligently abstaining from how/why they are jabbing everyone on Earth.
God knows that.
The Truth is unstoppable.. We all know that.
There will be Justice.. We all know that too.
You bear false witness.
You are what is commonly known as a liar. And I am thoroughly sick of your modus operandi, OG, LHB.
I haven’t advocated ANYONE taking ANYTHING. I have told you I made my own risk assessment, for ME.
Shame on you.
I could list you at least six other people on here who have been vaccinated – we both know why it’s my name that’s in your post.
Pathetic.
It looks like I struck a nerve, there GA.
I do apologize. I was under the impression that you were assuring the hesitant with Science while Believing in Santa Claus. There were so many characters when I first started here at CFN.
Yes, by all means, you have every Right in the World to take their kool-aid and report your experimental results to us. In fact, that’s awful White of ya.
Other than that, you & I are Just oil & vinegar. I rubbed a few woman teachers the Wrong way back in the day. Another one called me, “Sunshine.” You never know with women, I’ve found.
“Yes, by all means, you have every Right in the World to take their kool-aid and report your experimental results to us. In fact, that’s awful White of ya.”
Yeah, because I was just waiting for you to Canucksplain my rights to me. So grateful for your permission.
Jeezus.
Wow! You have no grace at all.
I’ll find my grace in your regard when you dump the arrogance.
You can’t even apologise or half apologise without wrapping your supposed apology in snark, you hypocrite.
I had read awhile ago that the therapists were bullied by insurance companies and big pharma, and if they didn’t comply they would lose their jobs.
This was well known a couple of years ago, and why activists countering the trans agenda were so frustrated.
As usual, big pharma and the for-profit healthcare industry stands to gain by creating patients for life.
A friend wrote the best piece outlining how it all works. Brilliant, fearless woman.
This was published in the Federalist because, even though Ms. Bilek is no conservative, obviously, no lefty-leaning outlet will allow a dissenting voice on the subject.

MaryV
The AMA is no angel. The collusion between doctors, pharma and the insurance companies has been around for a long time.
The Fugitive is real! Big money rides on this grouping.
For your information though, patients for life, chronic folks are the number one money LOSER for the medical community. We used to call them frequent flyers. They lose their insurance after awhile, become indigent and become the medical equivalent of welfare.
Seniors mostly but chronic disease strikes all ages.
That’s why they went after the young. Patients for life, who will be able to afford it (at least a good portion will).
They will get their surgeries and hormones before they can afford to eat. THey all have GoFundMes for their medical expenses.
Anyway, did you read the article? I am guessing no.
And how very, very few made the Decision (for Humanity) to go in this direction. The Pyramid in all its awful power.
She tries to make LGB innocent. They were all in until the TERFS cried foul. The rest still are. It opens the door to them to kids. Of particular interest to Gay men.
A lot of the LGBs are coming around, figuring out that the trans rode their coat tails and are now basically destroying the advantages they fought for and got.
Gays didn’t demand access to women’s only spaces, and they also didn’t ask for special rights. They wanted equal footing.
The trans want special rights, and to destroy women’s sports and occupy our safe spaces.
So there are many new gay/lesbian groups who are kicking the T to the curb, because they see the writing on the wall.
Superb. They saw a financial opening. It agreed with their personal desires and/or their transhumanist philosophy. And they went in that direction – and now herd us in the same direction.
The longer one waits, the less convincing the transition will be. Thus the rush to do it fast. One Tranny Philosopher opined: All children should be given puberty blockers until they decide. Wowser! That might well sterilize the human race. But I bet they have no problem with immediate surgery for kids who make the “correct” decision.
Not only that, when the person matures, their reproductive organs remain child-sized.
Ew.
Must … not … crack … Jo joke!
And, thank you for spotting it as a step toward gaining acquiescence for transhumanism. This is very important.

It’s interesting that you can laugh your head off while the country unravels. You’re one weird cat.
Take-a-poo. When you laugh your head off do you get a bad case of intestinal bloating? Just wondering as your head is so far up your own ass.
This week he’s really shoved it up there real good.
Po
Just a reminder. You are so worried about the nation unraveling?
Who is in control, especially in the cities. Your buddies.
Get your mirror out when you start criticizing people who really care about what happens in the country.
I thought everything was fine and we were overreacting.
Which is it?
And, if you lose your ability to laugh, you lose everything.
The left has lost its ability to laugh. In fact, they want to make satire illegal because it hurts too many feelz.
One of twelve characteristics of the New World Order. No humor!
Also, one of the maturity steps at the twenties is the ability to acknowledge your own foibles and laugh at yourself. The greatest comedians all laughed at themselves.
The egomaniacs of the NWO are children without that ability.
Notice how utterly awful the liberal late night comedy shows and hosts have gotten? They aren’t allowed to make fun of anyone but white people who lean conservative. That’s a pretty tiny pool to draw from.
So all their ‘comedy’ now consists of base level humor because complexities require describing the human experience, and they aren’t allowed to do that.
I like the comedians who have not changed a whit since cancel culture began, like Ricky Gervais.
One of twelve characteristics of the New World Order. No humor!
I read the 12 characteristics article – it was remarkable how they all fitted the previous guy – Orange Man – to a T. Or perhaps a tee.
And everyone of the idiots that are running this country right now. The Democratic Party should be home having their sixteenth birthday party.
At least Trump tried to undo the evil of this national extension of the NWO. The Deep State is an operating group for it.
No matter what you think of Trump, like or hate, that guy is funny as hell.
Weird cats are deadly.

“So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late”
yes everyone who has not and will not be innoculated should demand that ALL those who have taken the shot and their associates be identified so we may protect ourselves from the effects of the genetic experiment – as one in the UK said about the refusers, “it is time to ring fence” them – I agree ,you identify yourself and put yourself in isolation so we can continue to pursue our lives
link vax info to drivers licenses, credit and debit cards and allow business owners and the workforce to keep the ” I Got Mine” at a safe distance
the space fabric of time, the cat in the box, particle wave duality and entanglement tell us that we are not in Kansas and we have never been there – every cent spent on the Large Hadron Collider is to prove correct the Standard Model, of which is admitted, we have no more than solid conjecture concerning 80% of the model
All the scientists with all the money in all the World spend decades still absolutely clueless on how God did what He did in a week. He even took the last day off for kickin’ back.
“I Believe in Science! They were white ‘lab coats’ instead of the usual dark or colourful priest garb. They almost always wear glasses. They are allowed to marry and to have children. Men and women can equally become a scientist if it is their life’s calling. The scientists feed us everything that we Believe through their TV screens Right in our comfy Home Theatres. Instead of mass, it’s called mass appeal and you can join and stay as long as you like. 24x7x365. It’s Really fun!”
“All the scientists with all the money in all the World spend decades still absolutely clueless on how God did what He did in a week. He even took the last day off for kickin’ back.”
O.G. Literalism, now? Your wierd certainty of the existence of “God” & “Satan” is telling enough, but to go with the old “seven days” metaphor as fact is just downright foolish.
God knows what He is doing, RL. I have read physics anaylsis explaining how the measurement of a day from the centre of the universe can have a gear effect whereby time at the centre does not match time as the universe expands further out.
Plus, to the Lord, a thousand years is like a day and a day is like a thousand years. God has complete control of expanding or contracting the timeline like video-editing software.
It appears that you do not grasp His Power, RL. You will.
Your wierd certainty of the existence of “God” & “Satan” is telling enough
How so? What does my witness to 100%, no-doubt proof tell you?
Do you mean 24x7x52 or does it just feel like every week has 49 days up there in Saskatchewan? 🙂
It’s an infection from south of the border…
24x7x365 is standard IT talk for always up, always live. It is in Regina, Toronto, New York & Silicon Valley.
I cannot recall it ever coming up at our London office but it is most definitely a North American expression.
The x7 means Mon. – Sun.
The x365 means Even Christmas Day
Tekapo
I have seen you state, at least twice, that it is impossible to prove a negative.
Then you state, with such arrogance, ‘There is no God.’
Please explain.
—–
It takes more Faith to know that He does not exist than it does to simply know Him.
Anybody that does not believe in a creator denies reality. Keep going back in time, everything came from somewhere, t=0.
Tekapo does not have a clue about origins, and is missing much without faith that something created it all. Call it God, the Creator, whatever.
The leading physicists believe in a scientific God, because they cannot explain the origin. How do you explain a singularity which is impossible?
Not in the workings of God. Who knows maybe the singularity is God.
I feel for folks that have no purpose. People whose egos are so large and fixed that they cannot acknowledge that something or someone is bigger than themselves.
Tek only knows what the leftist media tells him it really is that simple.
Yes, essentially the definition of “beating a dead horse”
He goes to the tabloid Media Matters every morning to get his ‘zingers’ for the day. LOL.
He’s a simple fuck. A Global Village Idiot.
Atheists have lots of “purpose”, goals, dreams, ambitions, plans …
But not among them is a craven fear of a vengeful, demanding, wrathful Big Guy.
Nature and the world are wondrous enough – needing to resort to the supernatural and superstition to explain the very difficult bits, which include the origins of the universe, the origins of life, and the evolution of a billion species. But science can explain all of that.
And it is the reverse – it is the religious who have all the ego to believe they are so special that they must be the creation of a wondrous god. They cannot accept that we are just mammals with clothes on, that our free will is our own, and that there is no afterlife.
Once one comes to terms with these realities, life is very good indeed. and science becomes a thing of joy and wonder. And atheists have a strong moral code, based on ethics, decency, fairness, and humanity.
They do not criminalise women’s reproductive rights, and demand control over their own bodies.
You are just as confused as the rest of your cadre.
God is not a vengeful big guy, He is a loving Father to all his creation.
He is omnipotent, but does err. He made the mistake of giving Man the management of this planet and the power of reason to do it with. It has been a struggle ever since.
Nature and the world are a consequence of his goodness. Science is just an incomplete attempt to try to explain God’s majesty. You put your faith in science, you will find it an empty shell as you get older, like me.
Where the hell do you think that atheist moral code came from?
Try reading The Torah.
Abortion, here we go again.
They celebrated St. George’s martyrdom yesterday. The inadvertent homicide of this man by the policeman has fired up an entire generation that Black Lives Matter.
A fetus is a human being, birth is a continuation of the creative process that ends when adulthood is reached.
When a woman makes the decision to have sex, she is daring nature to impregnate her. When creation occurs in utero, she has a responsibility to another life, not just hers. Her own hormones are preparing her for acceptance of the new life.
I is no longer just her body, she voluntarily set into motion the new life that is there.
The political question is, do the rights of the law of the land extend to an unborn life. And when does that fetus qualify as a life.
It is between a woman and her God whether abortion is murder.
Many women has had severe psychological problems with abortion. I guess one way of coping is to deny the presence of God.
What is the lefts facinantion with wanting people to eat bugs?
https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/nutrition/people-are-eating-cicadas-and-sharing-their-recipes/ar-AAKp5pa?ocid=msedgdhp
It appears to be part of the “Green New Deal” theology and sacraments. And the World Economic Forum among others are openly advocating for eating insects. Eventually the goal would be to not have any agriculture as we traditionally understand it. It won’t be an issue once the population is reduced by 7 billion though. But until then they are now destroying stockpiles of crops and livestock and so soon people may not have a choice but to eat bugs and rats to survive. Also why people like Bill Gates are buying up valuable farmlands en masse. They want to destroy the food supply as we know it IMO.
Yes, that is the plan. UNLESS people get a freakin’ clue, and stop them in their tracks.
Have you seen the ads for the veggies and fruits in a capsule that will solve all your health problems?
Are the folks stupid enough to buy this crap?
Probably.
Shades of Soylent Green.
Soon we will be eating people in capsules.

Have you read Dan Brown’s Inferno? Not the movie, the book.
Quickly, a megalomaniac like Gates is killed early in the book for creating a virus to control overpopulation. Robert Langdon then gets involved. A good read and a warning, like all of Brown’s books are.
His solution to overpopulation is interesting.
The movie was a total Hollywood Woke cop out.
I have heard about the book but have not read it. But it sort of makes me think that is why the depopulation agenda is being approached from many different fronts. If plan A and B fall apart it is ok because C may work, and if not D will no matter what. I think that is maybe their logic and equations but just best guessing based on what they have already rolled out.
If the green new deal involves depopulation and reduced pressure on Earth by agriculture, I think I’m in, no matter how draconian or cryptic.
But I doubt it. I think the green new deal’s just a smokescreen to placate the left and allow big business to continue with the status quo.
They are sadists, and like forcing people to do humiliating things, like spraying themselves with Lysol and masking.
They like it even more that the people were gullible enough to do such silly things on command. That is what actually gives them essentially what can be considered an orgasm
AKA “Narcissistic Supply”
I agree with this. The petty side of the power trip may have played huge role. Maybe the largest role
Now I get it. That is why the Left has always bugged me.
🙂
Trans.
The worst of the bad.
Parents that push their boys to go trans so they can compete in girls sports. I cannot think of any worse child abuse than this.
Many sane folks are coming out against this, thank goodness. I have a hard time envisioning a parent getting the sex changed on a son so he can play better soccer or whatever.
These parents should be jailed. Their sons should be taken away from them before the abuse occurs.
This practice WILL destroy girls sports.
Yes, and they are doing it at the Olympics level now. Too bad I had already boycotted those 25 years ago…
paste the words below into your search engine:
Salk Institute covid spike protein
now continue to convince yourself you know where this “novel virus” came from and the time frame and that no one ever did any animal trials or cellular analysis and all of this is a mystery – and double down on “no evidence” preceeding the identification of the pathogen in December 2019…..created, immediately escaped and we “don’t know nuttin”
Rand Paul is too kind – Fauci should spend a luxurious instructional weekend in Guantanamo – taxpayers expense of course – or come clean now
I agree. And the bigger question is why is Rand Paul too kind? My guess is it is all theater. Remember Trey Gowdy? All hot air that sounds good and definitely no action. Fauci will be fine.
Maxine Waters and Marjorie Taylor Greene each play their specific role in this choreographed sham.
Rand Paul is to stir us up. Jim Jordan too.
When the cameras stop and the crowd goes home, all the pro rasslers drink beer & laugh together.
I think you are correct O.G. It’s a shame that we think that someone that we don’t know, but with a name we recognize – will descend from Olympus and save us.
I think Fauxi deserves the death penalty. THanks for the article.

I am going to keep throwing this out every couple of days until some pro-jabber explains this.
Is it not bizarre that a year ago we were told that vax-makers were going to pull out all the stops in efforts to impossibly make a COVID-19 vaccine in a completely unprecedented timeline and then 6 manufacturers around the globe did the impossible?
Pfizer
Moderna
J&J
AZ
Sputnik
Chinese
Note: On NBC News w/ Lester Holt, a spokeserson explained that they (one of the manufacturers) achieved such unprecedented vax-development timelines on account of their breaking the project into parts and starting work simultaneously rather than sequentially.
I remember playing with Gant Charts in Microsoft Project somewhere around the turn of the century. It sure is a Good thing that Big Pharma finally discovered MS-Project in 2020. Eh?
This man got the Astrazenica vax. Now every Bluetooth device loves him and wants to connect with him. Watch him demonstrate it. This was more than a vax. He was given something electronic.

I don’t blame him, though. I wouldn’t try connecting if it were me.
That video would be pretty easy to hoax, too though.
If it is True, there should be more anecdotal reports soon, I would think. If it is True, GA, SCB & Tekapo will be forced submit to the Science of The Truth.

It is impossible for me to ever go to your house now, GA. As tempting as that sounds.
They will never let me on an airplane ever again. I know that.
Nobody said the vaccine has a chip in it.
“That video would be pretty easy to hoax, too though.
You’re not too bright, are you?”
Not especially, no. But I didn’t think it was unreasonable to give you some alternative thoughts anyway, since you were interested in the issue and considering both sides.
Cloth ears.
My daughter is flying to Amsterdam tomorrow and from there to Pisa. She isn’t vaxxed. Just had to take some tests. Maybe you think neither the Netherlands nor Italy are entitled to make arrangements to protect their own populations. That’s not one I can solve.
But it’s fine – I’ll leave you to watch all the bluetooth activity ‘reported’ on the intertwebz instead.
MD says no-one said there were chips. I definitely recall some people saying exactly that last year, but whatever. I’ll shove it down the memory hole. Perhaps you have some thoughts on potential technologies. I don’t claim to know anything about it.
Yes, I saw the post about vaginal bleeding. I think it comes under ‘hearsay’. I don’t know why you’d think I owe you an explanation. It’s not my vaccine. I don’t have shares in any of.
them or any emotional investment in any of them either, even the Oxford University one. I’m just observing. I’ve had mine and I’m absolutely fine, which is all I can tell you. Evidence of my own eyes and whatnot.
But your story remains hearsay, and you know what I think about your attachment to the truth already.
Nobody said the vaccine has a chip in it.
Reuters did in the link that GA provided to construct a strawman, MD. They mentioned it a couple times in a high-brow wink and nod of the enlightened who live above and beyond conspiracy theories.

You’re Right, GA. You have frustrated me so much that I over-reacted when you pointed to hoax after I said that it could be an easy hoax. I apologize.
I do tell The Truth. My GF is Really upset and it is a shooting gallery of shame in her salon and sheeple demanding that they control her medical decisions for her body and her health.
I Hope that your fam travels hassle-free. Those days are numbered.

Some time ago, people on this thread were complaining that the US government was being hypocritical by letting in people through its southern border without testing them for Covid.
Now, I don’t know if they were being tested or not, but I do support the US’s right to decide who enters its territory. And I don’t support those who encourage excessive immigration for their own purposes.
So, do you also support the US’s right to check that those who enter its borders are not carriers of disease?
And, if so, do you extend that support to other sovereign nations who wish to check that those who enter their borders are not carriers of disease?
Because I’m perfectly fine with travelling with the unvaxxed, and indeed with not knowing if the person in the seat right next to me is vaxxed or unvaxxed, because I’ve made my own arrangements (if they don’t wish to travel with me on that basis, then they can make their own arrangements too).
But I don’t see how you can criticise other countries for insisting that people be tested before arriving in their country, as my daughter was.
Because otherwise you’d have to accept that people should be able to come into America willy nilly. And that doesn’t seem right to me.
BTW, if you’re going to apologise for something, just apologise. Don’t say ‘I apologise but you made me do it’, because you’re just wasting your breath on a non-apology, or as it’s otherwise known, a crapology. 🙂
GA, I apologized for snapping at you for pointing to the hoax after I said that it might be a hoax. That is an apology. It is not crapology.
You then completely ignore all my Good points and run off on a border tangent.
As far as your tangent, I never criticized countries for anything and am unsure what you’re even talking about.
Ultimately, there will be a VaxPass. We all know that.
Pretty sure that’s a hoax.

Anglin: Black Lives don’t matter to Blacks because they would live differently if they did. What Black Lives Matter really means is that White Lives don’t matter.
Thus the insane fury when the slogan is questioned for its bias.

That skinny dude don’t look too formidable, probably not many places he could go dressed up like that without getting his ass kicked.

Since Obama got himself elected the price of everything has been going to the moon.
Case and points I took today off and went to Ihop for a breakfast out the door just for me was $23.29 for a 2x2x2 and a coffee plus tip.
Just got an oil change using full synthetic for my wifes POS hyndai sonota $107 out the door three years ago it was $89.99 everything is going straight up in cost.
IHOPs been over priced for decades.
Yeah, but ya getta 10% discount for packin’ heat – in the open – well, usta be anyway, down NC way…
Food prices are insane. Even produce is ridiculously high.
I get an oil change for less than $30. Cheaper than I could do it myself, including getting rid of the old oil. The drive here and back would probably wipe out any savings unfortunately. But do it and I’ll cook up some tortillas and beans for the return trip.

The Maple Leaf (on the flag) is just a fig leaf covering the dark abyss of the Satanic Elite of Canada. Down with it! Return the honest Union Jack of the Commonwealth.
Commonwealth – sounds almost Socialist.

A year ago, I never would have believe Canada would go more police state fascist than the US. Then again, there were indications, what with them being ahead of the US with the transagenda fascism.
Canadians are sheeple. Canadians would rather be injected with poison than make a fuss.
Its called Socialism which is always a police state of some type.
Speaking of talented Canadian singers/songwriters, Fred Eaglesmith needs to be recognized. He wrote the eponymous ‘Time to Get a Gun’, performed most magnificently by the beautiful and talented Marissa Lambert. I can’t get a link up, but video is easy enough to find.
Marissa Lambert, Tiime to get a Gun.

Hey RIP wait till they start writing songs about Hot Rod EVs.
“My Hot Rod Nano electric sh#t box.”
Hey Marlin, I used to put out a lot of car fires. These new EV’s I figure you just let them burn. Hittin’ ’em with a hose line would be like pissin’ on an electric fence. I understand they run 400 to 800 volt systems. OUCH!! Twist one up in a wreck and who knows what happens. Is the whole thing juiced up?
Hmm, hadn’t thought of a wreck making an EV a “hot” car. Using jaws of life to get someone out a bad idea, I reckon?
Hahaha. Best laugh if the day again, Heckler.
I’m kind of surprised Tepako isn’t on here speaking up for Little Stevie Wright and the Easy Beats, fellow countrymen.

Yes, Happy Birthday, Bob Dylan!
May you stay “Forever Young”.
Thanks for blowin’ into Greenwich Village and NYC way back when, when I was blowin’ out.
Didn’t meet you in the flesh, but more than met you in your music.
You told us that “The Times They Are a Changing”, that the answer was “Blowin’ in the Wind”, and that “A Hard Rains a Gonna Fall”.
Often enough, you gave me, and I’m sure many others, “Shelter From the Storm”.
Happy Birthday and many more! As we know, “It’s not dark yet, but it’s gettin’ there”.
‘Shadows are fallin’ and I’ve been here all day
It’s too hot to sleep and time is runnin’ away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I’ve still got the scars that the sun didn’t heal
There’s not even room enough to be anywhere
It’s not dark yet but it’s gettin’ there
Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there’s been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writin’ what was in her mind
I just don’t see why I should even care
It’s not dark yet but it’s gettin’ there
Well, I’ve been to London and I been to gay Paris
I’ve followed the river and I got to the sea
I’ve been down on the bottom of the world full of lies
I ain’t lookin’ for nothin’ in anyone’s eyes
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
It’s not dark yet but it’s gettin’ there
I was born here and I’ll die here against my will
I know it looks like I’m movin’ but I’m standin’ still
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
I can’t even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don’t even hear the murmur of a prayer
It’s not dark yet but it’s gettin’ there’
Everybody must get stoned!

So, in keeping with the theme of today’s post about music (or A musician) I found this bit of info about a concert venue right near JHK’s home. In order to attend a concert at The Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) all attendees must:
attendance will be limited to 30% of our full capacity in an effort to maintain safe physical distancing. All seating, including lawn seating, will be sold in “pods“ that range in size from 2 to 4 fans. Each group of seats must be purchased all together.
COVID-19 TESTING OR VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS
Guests have three options to demonstrate they are eligible to attend an event. Please note the required timeframes associated with each option so you can plan ahead accordingly:
Proof of a negative antigen COVID-19 testtaken within six hours of the event start time OR
Proof of a negative PCR COVID-19 testtaken within 72 hours of the day of the event OR
Proof of vaccination. To ensure you fully vaccinated, the day of the event must be at least 14 days after your second dose of the Pfizer-BioNtech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine or at least 14 days after your single dose of the Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 vaccine.
For all options, anyone 18 years or older must also present a government-issued ID such as driver’s license or passport. Those younger than 18 may use a government-issued ID, birth certificate, social security card, school ID, or locally-issued ID.
Please note: your documentation needs to be directly from the healthcare provider that performed the test or vaccination. You can display your test results or proof of vaccination on your smartphone or present a physical copy. In addition, Live Nation and Saratoga Performing Arts Center encourage use of the New York State Excelsior Pass, which will provide secure, digital proof of COVID-19 vaccination or negative test results. For more information on Excelsior Pass, visit: https://epass.ny.gov/.
To help us ensure a fast and efficient entry, we ask that guests using the Excelsior Pass Wallet app download the app in advance and log in prior to your visit so you have access to your documentation before arriving at the venue.
HEALTH SCREENING
Each guest must complete a health survey and temperature check prior to entering the event.
Personal lawn chairs & blankets will NOT be permitted for these events.
To maintain our lawn pod seating arrangements, properly sanitized lawn chairs will be provided and pre-set at no cost for patrons seated on the lawn.
MASK REQUIREMENTS
Fans: Fans will be required to wear protective masks at all times. Individuals may temporarily remove their face covering when seated at an assigned seat/area to eat or drink.
Venue Staff: Venue staff will be required to wear protective masks at all times, until further notice
Please be respectful of your fellow fans and their space during your time with us.
MOBILE TICKETING
Contactless technology will be implemented and all publicly available tickets will be delivered digitally/mobile-only and available on mobile devices via the Live Nation app. No paper tickets will be issued to general public. Hard tickets delivered via artist fan club for the Saratoga Performing Arts Center will be honored.
ETC,,,,,,,,
I’ve been to over 400 shows in my time but those days are over if this is what’s gonna be like. Concerts are supposed to be celebrations through music in a group gathering. Hey SPAC! Suck it! I hope the venue goes bankrupt.
Yeah there is absolutely zero reason to attend an event with clownish and fascist rules like this. I can’t believe people actually go for it.
We need to return to having our own community entertainment without corporate or government bullshit involved.
“To help us ensure a fast and efficient entry, we ask that guests using the Excelsior Pass Wallet app download the app in advance and log in prior to your visit so you have access to your documentation before arriving at the venue.”
Hahahahaha.
The cattle that do this deserve what is coming. TBH, at this point I almost want the plan to succeed.
I know exactly what you mean, NO. [GA’s ears perk up.]
I don’t want to go see some talented has-been old sellout with a sparse crowd of poisoned dipshits anyways. Plus parking & traffic? No fucking way!
Mankind is getting exactly what it deserves.

I saw a headline today that President Biden has called for an investigation into COVID-19’s origin so this whole mess will obviously all be straightened out Real soon.
They will determine it comes from animals, and slaughter a few 100 thou probably. It’s the China way.
I can’t disagree. Seriously. Right into the cattle car, no questions asked.
Night Owl, maybe the whole thing really is a setup to weed out the cattle and permit the intelligent to continue to live, intelligence being defined by not being easily deceived, manipulated or frightened into submission. Just finished watching The Last Samurai. Very inspirational.
It could be, but I suspect they will just enslave those who remain.
The digital chains are nearly on.
Living in NC the rules are more relaxed but not totally. The Vax Nazis are still on patrol so If I even smell talk of a vax pass I’ll boycott. Yer right MaryV. Let’s revive Barn dances, and small town Saturday night dances. Forget the mega corporate concert experiences which, these days, can easily cost a week’s paycheck for nose bleeds.
I believe our host JHK plays fiddle in a group that plays at contra dances in his neck of the woods. Or did prior to covid.
Similar music and dances are a regular occurrence in his WMBH books.
DIY music, with better home made food and home brews than you would find at any concert venue today. Sounds like an improvement to me.
I agree Tully. I think more satisfying as well.
So what you’re implying SY, is the concert in question will be a little different from the wide open, drug and alcohol fueled, hell bent, wide open blowout rock concert at Altamont Race Track, 50 miles east of SF, on Dec. 6, 1969?
(When the Hells Angels were breaking heads and the Stones were playing Sympathy for the Devil)
I went to a Stevie Nicks concert in 1983 .
It was in a concert hall owned and managed by the city.
And , yes , police were in attendance.
Never the less , this huge enclosed space was down – right foggy with marijuana smoke.
The only time I ever recall the police just chilling in such a context.
BUT THEN —
Stevie Nicks fans ???
I’m pretty confident in saying that pretty much all Stevie Nicks fans are soft – spoken guys who describe THEMSELVES as born romantics ,
and girls who still like to put on plastic wings and a mauve dress and pretend they are Tinkerbell when they are 20.
Odd culture.
Stevie Nicks is a real Rocker , I think .
But it’s adults who would like watching a Care Bears movie.
To imagine folks getting beaten to death at a Stevie Nicks concert strikes me as down-right far – fetched !
Altamont was a special case, KesaAnna.
Along with the Manson murders, it was when the Peace, Love and Brotherhood bullsh#t of the 1960s went down in flames.
BRH. I am not implying that at all. I’m actually SAYING it! Like The Kinks once sang, Where have all the good times gone?
Yeah I realize the SY, just trying to interject some humor.
The Kinks are an interesting case; they pretty much ruined their US careers by hating each other and actually getting into fights onstage during live performances.
Well BRH, that was just their destiny. Many tortoise hatchlings fail to reach the sea once they hatch
Oh FFS. I wouldn’t jump through all those hoops to time travel back to December 2007 and attend Led Zeppelin’s Celebration Day concert. And I love Led Zep. (In spite of Page’s occult interests. Seems to have mellowed in old age; now looks a bit like a Japanese grandpa.)
Led Zep left more money on the table than probably any other band of their era. Unlike the Stones.
Yes, he does look Japanese now.
Businesses practicing medicine, that aren’t related to healthcare at all.

You asked how they did the vaccines in such a short time.
They didn’t, it was a work in progress and started in the early nineties, the technology is thirty years old.
Read an article in statnews,com by Damian Garde.
The Story of mRNA: How a once dismissed idea became a leading technology in the Covid vaccine race.
Multigenerational, lots of failures before they figured it out, I learned a lot. It started with one person with an idea.
Also, many more drugs will be developed with the technology down the pike, cancer, autoimmune stuff like RA and psoriasis.
JAZ – now you’re muddying the conspiratorial waters with science, facts, and well-documented research history.
You are ridiculous, Josephine. Your comment to JAZ has no merit. And this childish game that you will not speak indirectly with me … except when you do … is farcical. Man up ya dweeb.
I seek The Truth and I thank all of the people who post facts and links to facts that dispute or dispell something that I have speculated or even contended.
I have done so with Slugger. I have done so with GA. I have done so with JAZ.
Rather, it is you that ignores uncomfy evidence, Jo.
Do you Believe that strip club-frequenting, cocaine-snorting, can’t land a simulated-Cessna, flight-school dropouts Really had magic, explosion-proof paper passports here in the Real World?
Put up or shut up, dipshit. Answer the question.
See, rather than categorizing evidence to be determined it it is sane or not, The Truth-seeker examines it and adds it to existing knowledge. Sometimes theories are strengthened. Sometimes weakened. Sometimes obliterated.
That’s what facts do. They further understanding but only if you consider all of them.
You must explain the magic, explosion-proof paper passports, Josephine. You seem to think that you need only dispel the easy ones and call the hard ones nut-fudge. That’s not how Science & Logic work, shit for brains.
You see, the well-documented Official Report by Philip Fucking Zelikow says that they know who piloted 1 of the 2 airplanes that somehow pulverized 3 skyscrapers one otherwise fine Tuesday because they found his paper passport asap in all that mess. TruStory
You pretend that does not matter and that if it does matter then the person is crazy.
You are a pathetic little worm.
Come on, OG, you already had your answer.
strip club-frequenting. Irrelevant. Straw.
cocaine-snorting. Irrelevant. Straw.
can’t land a simulated-Cessna. Untrue, but still irrelevant. And straw.
flight-school dropouts. Irrelevant. Straw.
magic, explosion-proof paper passports. Disingenuous. It was no more explosion-proof than the wallets, credit cards, photographs, and driving licences that were also found. Not everything burns up. The passport served no purpose anyway since he was on the passenger manifest.
Ok. Sure, Slugger. All of the Official Report by Philip Fucking Zelikow is on the up-and-up. No doubt about it.
Go take your kool-aid and rest assured that jihadis on religious suicide missions snort cocaine in strip clubs all the time and besides it’s not even relevant anyways because Zelikow told us and … why is there blood in my pee?
Oh, Slugger. It appears that you do not know what Straw even means.
It would make more sense for you to call the facts that the jihadis in question were cocaine-snorting, strip club-frequenting, flight school dropouts red herrings. You would be Wrong but at least no longer completely logically off-base.
Oh, they figured it out. The ferrets died when confronted with a virus in the wild, and you are the human test bed.
The level of stupidity in these posts is not even worth commenting on further.
Thank you, NO. You said in so few words what I struggle with for paragraphs.
They’ve been cooking this evil shit for 30 years and now have to get it into every child on Earth asap? C’mon! The whole fucking World is stupid!
He keeps thinking he’s going to get a different response, like suddenly we’ll ‘learn’ that Big Pharma only has our health as their main concern. LMAO!! Yes not worth commenting on.
The new ‘talking points’ smack of desperation.
Trying to keep a populace believing they’re in a pandemic which was never one, and under the threat of a flu virus that died out a year ago.
And it’s all getting exposed, bit by bit.
Fl & Ga have ongoing water disputes, but Georgia’s thirst is nothing compared to California’s, or Mumbai’s. Anthropocentric climate change, non-anthropocentric climate change, or no change at all (your pick), the fact remains that there’s less good water and more people every day, worldwide and in the US too. Peak water.
J Dillon kneeling to the BLM con. J Dillon for fuck’s sake, a vampire who has sucked more humans dry than Vlad Dracul, kneeling for the NYT photo: we’re supposed to agree he, and the corporation he represents, are the “good guys”. A psychopath of this caliber has no principles. Consolidated corporations bigger than nation states cannot have principles when sucking up the last of the rare minerals, timber, fertile land, oil and everything else. Pristine water, for example. See Patagonia and North Florida.
A Northern Fl county wants to protect its water, to drink, bathe, swim in it, to irrigate crops and water herds, etc. Their traditional way of living, one that is not too tough on the Earth if the population stays at the levels it’s now in that county.
There’s all kinds of political gales blowing in the example. Republic falling, internal strife, but the heavy actors, Citi and the rest, being smart and cunning, are observing from the sidelines, their assets preserved or hedged, waiting to access YIELD again (the magic word of the era).
The Northern Fl county joins a larger N Fl secession in the upheaval. All is cheers for a day or two, then the fact becomes clear that Washington won’t have any of it. Armies are on the move, and the Gainesville militia is tiny.
Nestle or Microsoft sense an opportunity and offer the separating region support, financial, political, even military (mercenaries, battle robots). Psychopaths can change position quickly when they sense an opening. In exchange for…
Water rights, say. To the highest bidder. Without interference from Washington and those pesky EPA swampers. N Fl doubts, then accepts. The N Fl county loses their water as the new state of N Fl is born. And that’s just the first of many things they’ll lose. The new president in Gainesville is a puppet in the hands of someone like J Dillon. Or Bill Gates, or Donald Trump, or Bill Clinton. Our betters, our masters.
Culture war, race war, virus hysteria, are distractions from the only valid political questions: how do we manage our descent? How do we preserve what we can for our children? How do we reduce our numbers, and live with less, voluntarily and proudly, without someone else deciding those things for us and going to war with us? The planet cannot let all of us live like we’re accustomed to much longer. We’re running out of things, and it takes more poison, more ruthless allocation of $, pressure, dark arts, slave labor, surveillance, to keep this system going every day. There’s just not enough! Not enough for all! The distractions are only ways to manipulate, mask or distort that fact. I’m trying to look beyond culture & race war, and virus hysteria, and use night vision to perceive rather than see what’s real. The water. The land. Nature. Are they OK? Can they nurture & regenerate? Us. Our bodies. Our minds. Are they better now? Can “Progress” exist? Can it last? What have we done to ourselves, and how do we get out of it now?
Entropy, as JHK says. And what we do about it.
Here in MI Nestle pays $200/year to suck all the water out of the ground they want – and sell it back to us at $2/12oz bottle. Yeah, one gas station in one week pays their permit fee.
Who is your vampire?
I guess they haven’t changed since the good old days when they were hawking baby formula to desperately poor women with no access to clean water.
Yup, providing “baby formula” for free – until mama’s milk dried up – then demanding payment.
Nestle’s may make “the very best chocolate”, but I can do just fine without it.
Their chocolate sucks IMHO. It’s the cheap waxy crap.
They also bought up my fav health food/vitamin companies and ruined them.
Thanks for keeping me honest Mary.
I saw a documentary recently on the chocolate “industry”. Of course to maintain my intellectual purity I followed up with flush of research articles…
I can live without cacao, but if I ever attain even a marginal capability – yeah, I’ll try to grow it.
“Their chocolate sucks IMHO. It’s the cheap waxy crap.”
MaryQ, I’m having a fainting fit…there is something (waxy) we agree on. It’s not so ‘cheap’ though.
(Also, I don’t care for Hershey’s…way too sweet compared to almost every other brand you can find.)
You know much. about selling baby formula to 3rd worlders.
It (Nestlé) is also a gigantic consumer of Indonesian & Malaysia palm oil, for which huge swathes of tropical rainforest are destroyed each year.
Cadbury started using palm oil in New Zealand in 2209, but the consumer backlash was so furious it had to renege and switch back to cocoa butter.

From my favourite Neiler album, 1973’s On the Beach:
Vampire Blues
I’m a vampire, babe, suckin’ blood from the earth
I’m a vampire, baby, suckin’ blood from the earth
Well, I’m a vampire, babe, sell you twenty barrels worth
I’m a black bat, babe, bangin’ on your window pane
I’m a black bat, baby, bangin’ on your window pane
I’m a black bat, babe, I need my high octane
Good times are comin’, I hear it everywhere I go
Good times are comin’, I hear it everywhere I go
Good times are comin’, but they sure comin’ slow
I’m a vampire, babe, suckin’ blood from the earth
I’m a vampire, baby, suckin’ blood from the earth
Well, I’m a vampire, babe, I’ll sell you twenty barrels worth
Good times are comin’

OG, very apropos. In the early 70’s the issue of finite fossil fuels became evident – then ignored for 50 yrs, as ever more political and financial pressure was applied to keep the spigots open. The cheap stuff is all gone. Fracking has no future.
That line about the black bat is ominous. Corona bat? BLM bat?
Perhaps 1973 Neiler was pre-programming us CFNers for GreenAlba’s bat adventures.
My favorite comment of the week.
BB, same one
Rulo, a good deal of Florida in already ruined beyond repair. Sea levels are,rising. Beneath the surface a lot of Florida consists of limestone. Much development has put pressure on the underlying rock beds, and rising sea water eats away at the limestone, and eventually the surface collapses. Hence giant sinkholes. If the oceans continue to rise, the situation will only get worse, and South Florida will be another Venice, Italy. Yet the population continues to increase.
A similar fate awaits New Orleans and southern Louisiana, unfortunately.
TPTB have no insight whatsoever.
TPTB have more insight than you give them credit for, Bill.
Way more. TruStory
Hence giant sinkholes. If the oceans continue to rise, the situation will only get worse, and South Florida will be another Venice, Italy.
Unfortunately, it will never be as nice as Venice Italy. We walked a lot of blocks in South Beach Miami, during a big high tide. The gutters and streets were awash with salt water.
In some parts of the world there is a critical water shortage – in other parts far too much.
Beantown, South FL is toast, rising sea levels being just a minor factor in that so far. Development and population pressures are, as you say, the main culprit.
There’s floodlands that historically were either left alone or farmed just some months of the year and then left to flood (nature’s way). Now the gladioli and collard fields have been replaced with mc mansions and strip malls as far as the eye can see. Billions invested in waterworks and millions added every rainy season, but in the end it’s a battle that cannot be won. The oldtimers had it right: you can build in some spots, but not others. It’s rather hopeless.
Water shortages in bureaucratic systems have long been a source of conflict. State is pitted against state and region against region in the political struggle. Mark Twain said, “Whiskey is for drinking—water is for fighting.” The fight will continue as long as water is allocated by politics instead of the market. – Wall Street Journal 1983
If your culture is stronger, if you value your race and ethne more, you will probably win the competition for scare resources.
Talking to you is like talking to a child. But I know you’re not a child and not stupid. Thus I think you disingenuous.
If your culture is stronger, if you value your race and ethne more, you will probably win the competition for scare resources.
Yes siree – lets all get some white sheets and white hoods – maybe some shovels and some BIG buckets – and we’ll go and secure all that white water from them commie misfit libruls! LOL indeed.
Yoho, the ethnic view doesn’t explain everything. And you can’t force it to. In my example, 90% of the county is white. Most of that block, along with most blacks and hispanics, would NOT want Nestlé to steal the water. Yet, if that corporation offered enough to a new regional govt based maybe in Gainesville or Tallahassee, and also mostly white, that regional govt would sell the water. And if necessary, do the dirty work for Nestlé in mopping up any resistance.
You’ll say “white vs white, caused by power and greed” – I’d say “rich and powerful vs all who resist power and greed”. See the difference?

In the UK possessing of a butter knife is a felony, a firearm is out of the question. Oddly enough, African Gangstas on the streets of London appear to have all the guns and knives that they need.
And that begs the question: What happened to the English people in London? In available video you don’t see any.
Both of y’all got a very big problem with the CAPS LOCK key – but I’m not surprised … I see you both sitting there, doing sloooow one-finger typing, your tongue sticking out just a little bit. A shotgun across your knees, some mongrel dog at your feet, and a small glass of Jack at your side. Perfect.

Nature and the world are wondrous enough – needing to resort to the supernatural and superstition to explain the very difficult bits, which include the origins of the universe, the origins of life, and the evolution of a billion species. But science can explain all of that.
And it is the reverse – it is the religious who have all the ego to believe they are so special that they must be the creation of a wondrous god. They cannot accept that we are just mammals with clothes on, that our free will is our own, and that there is no afterlife.
Your first sentence is incomplete but it is pretty obvious where you were headed.
You see the Science problem that you have, notwithstanding your 2 Science and 1 Arts degrees, Right, Jo?
You approach God’s existence like it is Just a state of mind. People Believe in God because Science can’t explain until we are enlightened enough for Science to explain enough to our puny little Human brains and then we no longer need God.
Science, of course, says, “Ya, ya, ya! Our need for God is not dependent on how many Science discoveries we make or the mountains that we still cannot explain. In fact, our need is completely irrelevant to this analysis and should not be considered again.
Either God Really exists or He really does not regardless of your attitude! He does not diminish and disappear with our puny knowledge increase and He is not Just a state of mind.”
You go on all sorts of strawmen missions. I keep telling you that Science is a study of how God operates the universe while your little-girl brain thinks that God can only prevail in realms that Science cannot yet explain and that that is His only purpose.
I say that Science proves that God exists while you say that it proves that He does not. So we are at a stalemate there … but stop claiming our stalemate as your victory, you dweeb.
——
You keep saying that it is impossible to prove a negative and then turn around and state that we “are Just mammals in clothes” (i.e. there is no God) and “there is no after-life.”
How did you prove these negatives, dipshit?
How did you become so special to know what Billions have struggled millennia with, Tekapo?
See, a True Christian does not think that they are so special that God needs to exist. A True Christian sees that he is low-man on the totem pole and humbly does what he can to serve and please the Lord.
Repent your sins, Tekapo. Ask God for forgiveness and Strength & Wisdom as we hurtle into the next realm.
God bless you!
“Dweeb” & “dipshit”…
These are highly engaging vocative phrases, O.G., which will undoubtedly assist you in convincing those who disagree with you to mend their ways and ‘repent their sins’.
Good point, RL. Tekapo frustrates me beyond … Let’s Just say that dweeb & dipshit were milder than some of the names I contemplated but held back.
Point taken though. I ridicule Jo … er … Tekapo for his barage of name-calling while I call him a dweeb, dipshit & little worm.
I will try harder to refrain.
Thank you for holding me accountable to be civil, RL. Much appreciated!
OG, that’s the attitude I like. Engage with the issues, fiercely if you want, but never insult those who disagree. I appreciate seeing your struggle to not “lose it” and your honesty about it.
Thanks Rulo. I do struggle trying to stay on the High road when the fight’s down there in the gutter.
Cheers!
These are highly engaging vocative phrases, O.G., which will undoubtedly assist you in convincing those who disagree with you to mend their ways and ‘repent their sins’.
Duck of a water’s back, RL. Even if I were offered 17 virgins in the afterlife, I would still decline a conversion event. After all – what would I do with them?
What is most ironic is that the biggest, longest-lasting cabal of power-mongers in the history of the world is the Christian Church – not only but mostly the Catholics.
Where is our passionate Israeli friend, who railed constantly against the corrupt Vatican Mafia? We could do with some of his wisdom right now.
“Even if I were offered 17 virgins in the afterlife, I would still decline a conversion event. After all – what would I do with them?”
That puts me in mind of a joke I heard many, MANY years ago.
This guy, who believed he’d led a good and god-fearing life, died but nevertheless found himself at Satan’s Gate. Lucifer met him personally and offered the ten-cent tour.
The scene was inspiring! “Hell” was like a Pacific Island beach, teeming with beautiful naked women and buckets of ice, full of beer & wine.
Our hapless departed exclaimed “Huh? This is “Hell”? What’s so bad about THIS?”
His tour guide responded “Ah, yes, it is beautiful is it not? However, things are not all they appear to be. Here, nothing has a hole in it.”
It wasn’t in defence of you so much, Tekapo, as my frustration at the infantile insults to which O.G. stoops without thinking…(much in the vein of the execrable benr, but I’m not bothering to even try to correct him any longer).
LOL you think you can ‘correct’ people.
Hahahahaha!
my frustration at the infantile insults to which O.G. stoops without thinking
I don’t know if this makes things Better or Worse … but for the sake of The Truth and full disclosure:
I do have thought when stooping to “infantile” insults of Jo but, in fairness to me, he Really is a dweeb and a dipshit. It’s not like I’m making it up.
I am so very frustrated with him while he pretends that all of my “gotchas” simply do not exist.
He thinks that God’s existence depends on us not figuring out too much Science! He thinks that if we can scientifically explain how a flower grows or a distant galaxy is formed then God does not exist!
He is that dumb. I shit you not.
As the old saying goes Majella fuck off you crusty school marm.
What is most ironic is that the biggest, longest-lasting cabal of power-mongers in the history of the world is the Christian Church – not only but mostly the Catholics.
There is no irony there, Jo. Try again.
Akmofo. He’s been gone awhile. Mobilized maybe? Most israelis are in the reserves until retirement, and have to train some weeks every year.
An interesting fellow, but in my opinion with a big blind spot, the commie Vatican mafia thing, constantly. What he had to say wasn’t bad, but that Vatican recurring coda sort of diluted it. Happens to all of us, or to many. Can be religion, a pet peeve, a one size fits all explanation of what’s going on. In my case it may be the last case, explaining everything I see by resource depletion and overpopulation. Others explain everything by Jesus, the Vatican mafia, the evil left or right, 9/11, racial injustice, or what have you. Nobody’s 100% right. The truth is somewhere in between, we all have pieces of it.
Indeed Rulo. And, of course, The Truth is some blend of all those things you mention plus trillions more.
This message is from a friend who is an ex-military intelligence technology expert.
“We are no longer being governed by governments. We are being ruled by corporations and banks bypassing governments with public-private mandates and tech infusion. This is a runaway train we’re now dealing with. They have always had the ability to track us, but our laws always held them in check. Now they are bypassing and ignoring our laws and our governments are saying nothing and instead helping the big techs and people at WEF and UN. We need to take back our governments and detach from the current big tech empires.”
We continue to ignore this at our own peril.
More pearl-clutching & catastrophizing, from a hearsay source…
Does you friend either:
a) explain how this “tracking” is damaging you & me; and
b) suggest a solution and how to “detach”?
Does you friend […] (b) suggest a solution and how to “detach”?
The problem is late capitalism, as you well know RL.
And if one reads your Marx, he advises that the proletariat will get so pissed off that there will be a socialist revolution.
But the fear-mongers and conspiracists here can’t even tolerate the most mild reforms of the capitalist Democrat Party – let alone see a solution in anything more energetic and radical. But there is no solution from the Right, notwithstanding the daily fantasies from Yoho about a White Fascist Nation.
There is this belief – ground in history – that there is a “Real America” that is (or was) not totally bound up by the rapacious corporations. If so it is a very long time ago – when most of the people worked in agriculture.
As Maggie Thatcher said when she was ousted, “It’s funny old world.”
You’re far too stupid to understand it, sorry. Time for your binky, and YouTube influencers.
Oh, please, Aunty MaryQ! Please…explain it to us!
WTF is a binky? Asking for a friend.
Po
A binky is a brand name and nickname for a infant mouth pacifier.
Sorry boys, I reserve good stuff for the truly intellectually curious, not the Media Matters parrots.
a) explain how this “tracking” is damaging you & me; and
b) suggest a solution and how to “detach”?
a) the damage is so far limited, but we’re in the fat years and under nominal rule of law. Fat years: the trove of info about us is used mainly for intrusive marketing, relatively harmless. Snowden talks about games they play, activating cameras in devices to catch a nude wife or whatever. It can be done, it is done, it has the potential to be much worse. Nominal rule of law: blackmail is off limits, for now. We’re supposed to have free speech, although we can get canceled, lose friends and jobs, etc, over something we said on a digital platform. I grew up under a dictatorship, you didn’t, so I know when the gloves are off, information can be used to harm people. The junta could only dream of having such complete info on political dissenters. Now a 21st century junta can have it. So the potential for damage is there, no doubt.
b) to a degree you can go Luddite, but it’s harder every year. They make it harder. Also, the digital universe has good uses, like identifying what pest is damaging your crops, or enjoying the comments in this esteemed forum. It’s understood there’s no privacy online. Even when they say there is, there isn’t. Everything goes into a database. My MO is assuming one’s every email, page visited or purchase can and will be filed. It’s a glass house. We all have to think hard of what we will and will not do in a glass house.
We are being controlled by social media. When they can dictate what information is posted, they control the flow of information. Same with the MSM.
Indeed. Does that not give you pause, JAZ? I mean Social Media banning anything negative about vaxxes while they push the pro-vax agenda?
Kinda fishy, Right?
We are being controlled by social media. When they can dictate what information is posted, they control the flow of information.
As I have noted previously, social media are mainstream businesses, in the business of making money – mostly by delivering a huge number of eyeballs to people trying to sell products or disseminate information that is profitable.
We could argue about whether google, facebook and twitter are too big, but at one very obvious level – they only work successfully if they are enormous. Like we only have good communication because we speak, write, and read the same language.
If there were 50 small facebooks, or 50 small twitters, and say ten mutually exclusive search engines, then none of it would function. They are to a large extent, natural monopolies.
They do control their content, but not for nefarious reasons … they are in business, they have competition to keep an eye on, and they definitely need a social license to operate. This is literally the case in a hundred or more countries around the world, where they must conform to the wishes of the local ruling class, or they don’t operate there.
It’s a lot trickier in a liberal democracy, where notions of free expression are taken pretty seriously. I expect if you analysed ever facebook comment or twitter post over the past decade – from Memorial Day 2011 – there would be at least as many conservative leaning posts and ideas, as liberal ones.
The social media are not biased in a political sense – the are only biased in the sense of asking What is going to keep most of our consumers happy, and coming back.
They knew which way the wind was blowing, and refused to cooperate on Trump’s Big Lie about the 2020 Election, and they refused to support anti-vaxxers generally, and anti-Covid-19 vaccination in particular.
They are seeking the line of both profits, and being socially good … and of course the ones who disagree with the social goods being favored, then they scream censorship and manipulation. But when the shoe is on the other foot, they’re happy enough.\
As has been discussed regularly – this is not a Free Speech debate.
This science vs religion business, in the main they’re about different realms so I’m not groking why there’s a conflict between the two.
See, all I know about religion is what I learned in Sunday school and the bits I read about it since then. My science goes as far as high school, my math and stats as far as university. The religious book I know most about in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. Hardly makes someone like me an “expert” does it, but maybe that just means not being as totally full of shit as someone that is.
Anyway, in my view, the Bible was/is different things, but it was never meant to be a scientific book, no matter how you define science, nor was it meant to be a catalogue of facts, falsifiable or not, about the physical world. I think that the writers of those books would find the idea amusing. Just a guess here, but I doubt that the authors of the creation story of six days and a day of rest really gave a shit whether it was six days, six minutes or six hundred thousand years or six billion.
People immersed in the scientific world laugh when they hear the term “religious truth”. To a “scientist” truth is something arrived at through systematic reasoning, investigation and observation.
But what if I was to say that the truth most central to both the Christian and Jewish religions is this notion that an individual human life is invaluable and irreplaceable, that the life of the homeless beggar living in a tent encampment is as valuable as that of the CEO of Amazon? What has science got to say about this? Nothing? Next to nothing? How does a scientist apply his method to a question of that sort? Is money the measure? The only measure? Who sez?
All that said, there’s some interesting stuff in the Bible that isn’t so out of line with ideas coming out of the scientific world, some of it is implicit, some explicit.
One great idea from the Jews, whether it was their own or whether they acquired it from another ancient source, is that time has a direction, from past to future. Yeah, yeah, I know, the laws of physics operate as well no matter the direction of time. But in practical fact you can’t unmix the cream from the coffee, you can’t unscramble an egg. One direction IOW, past to future. No recycling of time, no circle of time, so once you’re born and lived and died, that’s it, done deal, no do overs.
Another is that the universe has a beginning, what we think of nowadays as the Big Bang. Another is that creation proceeded in stages, meaning that the whole tapestry wasn’t just put there in one big flash, which is consistent with astronomical observation.
What’s really fascinating to me is this notion that everybody alive shares a common ancestry from two individuals, a man and a woman, Adam and Eve in the Bible, a topic that’s been bandied about for a while by scientists. No idea where it stands now but some geneticists said a while back that the most likely place for these ancestral people was somewhere in east Africa, maybe 150,000 years ago.
And this idea also, that humanity didn’t always struggle to scratch a living out of the dirt, a time before farming, idealized as the Garden of Eden. The Bible talks about a transformation of human consciousness before the expulsion from the Garden. Not an exact parallel but archeologists refer to a Great Leap Forward, a huge transformation when people became behaviorally modern, evidenced by an enormous flowering of technological innovation and artistry around 50,000 years ago, maybe the time when modern language took shape.
A linguist, recently deceased, Merritt Ruhlen, wrote a book about the evolution of the mother tongue, a language ancestral to all existing languages, which he said you could discern through commonalities all over the world in certain basic words. Like “ak” and “wa” for water. So, for example, in Latin you have “aqua”, in Amerindian languages you see “o-ko-kwa” and “kwa-kwa”. He gave a whole bunch of examples. Kind of reminds you of the story of Babel doesn’t it when everyone spoke the same lingo.
This is getting to be a long post so just one more: a mass extinction event, an environmental calamity that killed just about everybody except a small band of survivors that became the new founding population. This is referred to in the Bible as the Flood, but geneticists tell us that something similar happened tens of thousands of years ago, a calamity when humans damn near went extinct. They discern this from patterns of genetic variability that point to a population bottle-neck. Just as Noah and his family became the founding people of whoever is alive nowadays in the Biblical account, the archeological account tells of something similar, possibly from a giant volcanic event (Lake Toba 70,000 years ago) that obliterated food sources for years killing almost everyone but a small remnant.
Anyway, these ideas have been knocked around for a while. I think they bear recounting.
How the ancients came up with all this stuff we can only guess, maybe retelling of old stories, generation and generation, but some of it has to be from their mulling things over during the thousands of years that people led settled lives. Jericho, after all, is a city ten thousand years old. And there were others like it. What I’m trying to say is that those ancient books weren’t totally full of crap. Maybe the almighty enlightened should have another look at them.
Kesa thinks he’s working class. Why?
Anyway, these ideas have been knocked around for a while. I think they bear recounting.
Indeed they do – race memory can be incredibly enduring, as myths, fables, sagas, even nursery rhymes … through millennia. And in an era of very little science or understanding of nature, it’s quite reasonable that these myths are turned into mystical religions, that then take on their own life. Nice post volodya.
Volodya, interesting notes and complex questions. It is my understanding that the great monotheistic religions believe in a linear time, whereas the other traditions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Native American, think of time as a circle, everything comes back, there’s no end, what’s happened today also happened an era ago and will happen an era from now.
What you wrote is a big bite, intellectually speaking. I will have to ponder it awhile. Thank you, good essay, honest and not claiming to “know” it all.
As for the Bible… it’s like the internet: you can use it to prove any point, and the opposite point as well. That’s an old joke, but it has an element of truth in it.
Thanks Volodya. You’re an island of sanity in a sea of crazy.
I am here to serve. And that was a very nice compliment.
I’ll second that. His questions and reasoning are thought provoking. Food for thought is what I come here for.
I bow most humbly.
https://www.amren.com/news/2021/05/cycling-and-the-power-of-white-privilege/
If Blacks want to get into cycling, then they can buy a bike and get into cycling. Or not. Either is fine. Its devotees tend to be very liberal and they would be welcomed or even worshiped. But instead this one at least prefers to to try and shake the whole industry down. And of course Capitalists being cowards and swine, one big store immediately started groveling. They’re not even customers yet, and its groveling. This is the power of Ideology. Or perhaps they fear what will happen to them from their peers if they don’t.
Were there ever two more dissonant messages than: 1) “environmental calamity threatening life on earth” (legitimate but mis-branded, mis-identified as “climate change”)
and 2) “we MUST COMBAT microaggressive racism in bicycling”
?
no sense of proportion, no logic at all
Plenty of emotional logic though. Give it up or be destroyed. It’s a sophisticated version of paying protection from the Mafia in order to run your business. Don’t kick in, your windows get broken. Then your fingers.
Don’t welcome Blacks into cycling with generous grants to BLM Inc, well then you’re racist in a very liberal industry full of fanatical liberal customers. Maybe the folks who make helmets don’t want to deal wit you anymore. Stars won’t want to wear your stuff. You get the picture.
guess i dont give an f about cycling and dont know why anyone else does either basically.
In the end, corporations will self-defeat schmoozing up to every populist whim
https://www.yahoo.com/news/brad-pitt-wins-joint-custody-154039282.html?.tsrc=fp_deeplink
A rare victory for Men. She tried to destroy him in every possible way – not uncommon. For a time it looked like she might succeed as he lost weight and remained isolated. She’s no worse than the average woman though. Nothing jolly about Jolie or the Daughters of Eve in general.
After
Why do you care about celebrity garbage?
You like celebrity stuff. You don’t like men winning in court though….
What matters is not the man winning or the woman winning, but the child winning. In most cases, i.e.where neither party is actually a monster, but just a very human human who is finding it difficult to behave as well as they might because of historical ‘stuff’, then joint custody could be said to be the child winning.
People aiming to *win* generally means the child loses.
Regardless, the lawyers’ children make out like bandits!
Indeed they do. Then they may even become lawyers themselves.
True I like to make fun of celebrities because they’re mostly all beneath contempt, you got me there.
That’s about the extent of my acknowledgment of them.
Actually, I don’t like Jolie and Pitt’s always seemed the more decent of the two. So, you’re wrong there, too.
Weird you assume I don’t like men winning in court. Based on what?
I even posted on this thread somewhere about the dad who was jailed trying to keep his daughter from transing. I’m on that dad’s side.
Wondering where you get these pre-conceived incorrect ideas about me. Stereotyping again I guess.
I was the one who gave you that thread! That red thread….
Jolie is probably the one who made them adopt all those foreign children. He’s a bit of a submissive (not totally), dyeing his hair to match the women’s he’s with. He even said something like, Our biological kids are the odd ones out here. Pretty weird.
Based on what? Oh, a feeling, an intuition perhaps. Reading between the lines. The way you’re always raving about women being brilliant. You favor your own sex. I say men should be in charge. So from a classic Liberal pov, we’re both equally wrong. But I reject Liberalism whereas you embrace. You’re in contradiction, not me.
I’m not claiming you’re a separatist. Obviously they stick to themselves and have their own sites. Any contact with men is onerous to them.
Many over the last hundred years and more have said that America is a matriarchy. I concur. I think that might be your base of reference, your normal. It’s not stated openly, but it’s no that subtle any more either. Feminism by itself would have ended Western Civilization. The marriage strike by men is now quite profound and the birthrate among Whites very, very low.
We are no longer allowed to decide what we think is the best choice for our own health and well-being. I watched a video where Peggy Hall interviewed a salon owner who was closed down – even though she followed every single health requirement – because she didn’t require masks. The charge was, she was a danger to others’ health. That’s insane. There is no way they can prove by operating her salon that she is a danger to anyone’s health. And people CHOSE to go in unmasked, willing to take whatever risk is there. These choices are being removed soon, if we keep allowing ourselves to be railroaded.
Whitney Webb—from her latest investigative report:
“Last Wednesday, President Biden was widely praised in mainstream and health-care–focused media for his call to create a “new biomedical research agency” modeled after the US military’s “high-risk, high-reward” Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA. As touted by the president, the agency would seek to develop “innovative” and “breakthrough” treatments for cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes, with a call to “end cancer as we know it.”
Far from “ending cancer” in the way most Americans might envision it, the proposed agency would merge “national security” with “health security” in such as way as to use both physical and mental health “warning signs” to prevent outbreaks of disease or violence before they occur. Such a system is a recipe for a technocratic “pre-crime” organization with the potential to criminalize both mental and physical illness as well as “wrong think.”
In the merging of “national security” and “health security,” any decision or mandate promulgated as a public health measure could be justified as necessary for “national security,” much in the same way that the mass abuses and war crimes that occurred during the post-9/11 “war on terror” were similarly justified by “national security” with little to no oversight. Yet, in this case, instead of only losing our civil liberties and control over our external lives, we stand to lose sovereignty over our individual bodies.”

Ironically – these corporate practices of poisoning our air, water, food and environment – have CAUSED cancer to skyrocket, since the 1970s. But they are gonna ‘cure’ it. It is to laugh.
Amazing how instead of a united popular front against corporations we have a divided populace with both sides of this division essentially equally cozy with the corporations. Nice
Indeed – I’ve been saying just this for a very long time.
Some of the more astute punters on here perceive the problems – actually understand some of the stuff that JHK talks about – but then they head down all sorts of weird paths looking for solutions in places and politics where solutions do not exist, and never will.
Socialist revolution is the only possible answer … it might take another generation or two, maybe a century – assuming the World Made By Hand doesn’t overwhelm us all in the meantime.
There’s probably a lot less difference between yohannon’s fascism and your socialism than either of you would admit.
Socialism is such a weak word with weak, industrialist-centered precedents. I’d think if you were really interested in a united front against corporate power you would come up with a different way to describe political change needed
Socialism blows goats and suffers its own problems since it IS communism light and leads the way to complete slavery with a ruling elite that puts people up against the wall and shoots them in the head for daring to not want to live under such a system.
The solution is not to grow government to control all facets of life. And the solution is not to allow the free market corporations to control the government, which is what we now have.
There needs to be a balance, and people need to learn to fend for themselves with some government services we pay taxes for, instead of this nanny state run by psycho billionaires from Silicon Valley.
Up until about age 12 I wondered why religious people put so much positive stock in Hell.
And since age 12 I have wondered why secularists put so much negative stock in Hell.
And doesn’t seem to me that you need speculate , or believe , or need test it with death.
Hell is as common as dirt , right here , right now.
And it’s not like you have to go to South Sudan or Yemen to see it.
I don’t know if the story is true , but last I heard , That little boy BRH kept mentioning was being pimped out by his mother for drugs.
That is , you can find Hell easily enough in the United States , too.
The way I figure it , assuming Heaven exists , no way in Hell DO HUMANS HAVE ANY PART IN SAYING WHO GETS IN , AND WHO DOESN’T.
And if Heaven does not exist ?
Lol , I’m pretty sure you are fucked no matter who wins the next election.
There’s a school of thought that sez the mathematics that describes the universe is the same as the math that describes a hologram. So, in effect, what the universe is, and what we are, are multidimensional projections from a lower dimensional “surface” that contains on it all the information or “coding” that determines everything that happens in our universe, I presume, from the earliest flicker of the Big Bang to the last glimmer of the last dying star, and everything we all say and do.
“Predestination” said some Christian religious sect, and I guess we can call it that, but if true, then we’re all helpless puppets of this cosmological master code inscribed in a place that we don’t have access to.
Which raises a question; then what of free will. And if there’s no such thing as free will, then what’s the point of a heaven or a hell?
It’s not to say there can’t be such places. I mean, THIS place exists, by all appearances a magnificent creation, and if this exists then who is to say places like heaven or hell can’t? But what would be the point if all existence including us is pre-programmed?
I look first to what’s under my own nose and try to understand what I see. If there is a deity that created this, then I have to assume he’s not what the religionists say he is, that being a loving “father” creator that really gives a shit. The book of Job had an answer to this, when Big G gave Job hell. What does a pip-squeak like Job know about what it takes to make a universe run, to make it all hang together?
All right, I get the point, but still, the evidence points at best to an indifferent creator, the best evidence for a creator being that there is something that exists instead of nothing. And there’s others that talk about realms “above” ours, and how they come about such notions I have no idea, the most important stuff happening in those places, ours being the the dung-heap of creation. A dung-heap, yeah, maybe.
V
Wow! Nice insights.
Here is one for you. There is a new physics theory being talked about called mirror universes. Just what it sounds like, different dimensions, invisible to each other.
Unless
Some entity could slip between universes? Would it look like say:
A Transfiguration?
An Ascension?
Angels we have heard on high?
Ezekiels vision?
Science is pushing more in the direction of the supernatural!
Science is pushing more in the direction of the supernatural!
No – science is pushing religion further and further out into the realm of the truly cosmic, as more and more of the here-and-now has been explained by boring old physics and chemistry. Been going on for centuries.
You’re on a losing horse here, JAZ.
You are a moron, Josephine [sorry, RL. I tried!]
What makes you think that scientifically explaining how something works disproves God?
It doesn’t so quit it.
Josephine pretends this does not exist.
Jo, you are constantly chirpin’ about the sanity, or lack thereof, of the vast majority of mankind (i.e. the Believers).
Answer the question, or, RL & Rulo, what name may I call such a perp?
Do you understand that man’s increasing scientific understanding of how the cosmos and nature behave does not disprove the existence of God?
The old free will versus predestination argument. I go for free will because Einstein was wrong when he said God doesn’t play dice with the universe. At least according to quantum physicists.
That’s what our little, puny Human brains cannot handle, Bill. It’s both!
7,670,000,000 people. Each and every one with Free Will. But yet the outcome is predetermined and written for us all to read while it is happening!
How can it be both? I don’t know but it is.
Thus He made some – nay MOST – for eternal perdition.
Thus He is a Monster – because he did it knowingly.
Ergo, I either reject eternal perdition, or that He is a loving God.
I reject the former.
Purgatory (temporary Hell) exists. Not eternal Hell.
If eternal Hell, no loving God.
Is it not possible for a loving God to draw a line in the sand? Tell us of that line and then let people exercise their Free Will as they make their Good v Evil choices day in and day out for decades.
After that time, God will forgive those that pleased Him and turn His back on the rest.
To me, a loving God does not necessarily mean Jeffrey Dahmer gets forgiven.
Even if Jeffrey Dahmer burns in Hell for all eternity, God can still be a loving God, imho.
You’re denying your own thesis now. God knew when he created Jeffrey Dahmer that he would turn bad, become a monster, and be damned for eternity. So why didn’t He make him better? Or not make him?
Nay, good OG. All will attain unto the Beatific Vision in the End, howsoever far they stray. Else God would not be God….
This is where I leave every discussion that I ever have because my theory is ilLogical to our puny little Human brains.
God loved Jeffrey Dahmer and gave him Free Will. Dahmer became a monster (undoubtedly on account of many sins by many others) and was ultimately lost from God to Satan.
God tells us that Satan will garner more souls than will He.
Maybe He’s not “loving” by your definition but He is consistent as He both shares and withholds His Grace.

This is presented with complete respect, Yoho. It is a privilege and a rare opportunity to speak of these topics with someone as learned as yourself.
You’re denying your own thesis now. God knew when he created Jeffrey Dahmer that he would turn bad, become a monster, and be damned for eternity. So why didn’t He make him better? Or not make him?
Every thinking child asks similar questions by about age nine – they can perceive deep-down that it is illogical and internally inconsistent – bullshit dressed up as holy writ and sacraments.
Only the truly gullible – or the fearful – stick with it.

“All atheists are superior and everyone who Believes in God were defective by age 9.”
“Notwithstanding it being common knowledge that God helps those that help themselves and my personal rejection of His very existence since age 9, God and Satan have both never revealed themselves to me therefore they do not exist.”
Nice Police work, there Jo … not!
—–
Yoho’s quote does not disprove God, Jo. In fact, you’ve interjected with your atheist Beliefs between 2 Christians discussing the nature of God.
How rude.
I like reading your posts volodya, but I’m still left with the very firm view that you’re not asking any questions that really matter, nor do they impact on the lived lives of human being on this temporary planet.
The big questions are down here – not up in the cosmos somewhere. Religion is the opium of the masses.
Religion is the opium of the masses. “Therefore God does not exist.”
I’m not sure that I like your Police work, there Jo.
—–
Careful, Jo. The House of Bush runs the Real opium for the masses. We all know that.
“Opiate” of the masses.
Well – this is the full quote:
Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
Excellently stated.
Hell,
Defined as spending a lifetime here on earth, dying then finding out you have to come back.
Yuck!
Some people have speculated that’s what deja vu is, JAZ.
They theorize that we are, Right now, serving our time in Hell and will do this same life infinity times and we remember snipets from the last go-around that give us that dema vu feeling.
I confessed to being an asshole at 11:03p 5/25…still applies.

” Kesa thinks he’s working class. Why? ”
As I have said before , as a little girl my great ambition in life was to join the East German Army , to do my modest part , to help kill as many greedy , decadent , lieing Western capitalists as possible. 🙂
Have you somehow gotten the mistaken impression that I am sorry about that ?
One of the reasons the Berlin Wall was built was because , arguably , the three places most torched in WW II were Poland , Western Russia , and Eastern Germany.
East Germany was already pretty fucking poor.
Never the less , East Germany provided , at taxpayer expense , free education Kindergarten through post – graduate.
And trades too.
People were getting free education in East Germany , and then skipping over to West Germany for higher wages / status.
i.e. a poor country was subsidizing the economy of rich mother fuckers.
” … to help kill as many greedy , decadent , lieing Western capitalists as possible. ”
— would include West Germans.
My PERSONAL FEELINGS ( not to be confused with morality or truth ) when I was 8 years old is that I hope they choke to death on their god damned money.
And my personal feelings today are that I hope they choke to death on their god damned money.
Gee , does it sound like I don’t like my fellow Germans ?
Does it sound like the sand – n _____ doesn’t like White people ?
Well , it sure looks to me like when you give the AVERAGE person power over another , or a little bit of god damned money ,
suddenly they don’t give a shit where your birth certificate comes from , or what your eye color is , or even if you share the same family tree at least to the second degree .
Suddenly it’s ” fuck you . ”

Anyway , I didn’t say I thought he was working class.
Or , if I did , then , OK , that was shitty writing.
You gotta be born with a silver spoon up your ass to buy into horse shit ideas like ” non – religious ” to begin with.
Sometimes I wish I could convince the ex – KGB Colonel Putin to lob a few nukes your way .
THEN these folks can tell me that no do – overs is a reasonable idea.
Here’s a hypothetical for you ;
I get to come over and slaughter your loved ones , and destroy basically everything you love or care about , for the fun of it , and I get medals and pensions for it , and you get the blame for it.
THEN you can sit there calmly and diffidently and and tell me that , ” the evidence indicates …. ” .
He is RIGHT when he says things — at least similar to —
White trash denizens of trailer parks are not the only people who pimp out their children. Not by a god damned long shot.
You talked about yourself, Germany, Putin and Capitalism, not Volodya. I agree that these are more interesting than Volodya. You used him to go on a rant – with me as the target?
Huh?
I agree that America needs to go. And go it will. It is going even as we speak. What gets me is the folks who want an exact redo – that would put us back in the same position in a few short decades.
” not Volodya”
Huh ?
I said that the very term , ” non -religious ” is a god damned lie.
I somehow doubt these folks are getting a warm , fuzzy feeling.
Quoting you quoting me (loving you loving me): Kesa thinks he’s working class. Did you change the he to a she in your mind? Or imagine I was referring to you as a man? I was talking about – yes, Volodya.

SCOOP: @LockheedMartin, the nation’s largest defense contractor, sent key executives to a three-day white male reeducation camp in order to deconstruct their “white male culture” and atone for their “white male privilege.”
I’ve obtained internal documents that will shock you.?
— Christopher F. Rufo ?? (@realchrisrufo) May 26, 2021
Woods was joined by other executive-level employees at Lockheed, including Aaron Huckaby, director of global supply chain operations; retired Air Force lieutenant colonel David Starr, director of the Hercules C-130 military transport program; and retired Air Force lieutenant general Bruce Litchfield, vice president of sustainment operations.
The retreat was run by ‘White Men as Full Diversity Partners,’ an organization of white men dedicated to improving “the brand, image, [and] reputation of white men,” according to course documents. The group’s clients include mega-corporations like Intel and Coca-Cola, arms manufacturers like Lockheed, Boeing, and BAE Systems, and Colonial Pipeline, whose fuel lines ran dry due to a hack earlier this month.
The group also held training sessions last year for staff at Sandia National Laboratories, which designs US nuclear weapons.
According to Rufo’s documents, participants in the course were first asked to free-associate connotations that come to mind when they hear the term “white men.” The trainers started them off with a handy list, including: “old,” “racist,” “privileged,” “anti-women,” “angry,” “Aryan Nation,” “KKK,” “Founding fathers,” “guns,” “guilty,” and “can’t jump.”
The trainers, who ask their clients to “work hard to understand” their “white privilege,” “male privilege,” and “heterosexual privilege,” then got to work “deconstructing” that supposed privilege. The Lockheed employees were asked to repeat a series of statements belittling their own race, including: “My culture teaches me to minimize the perspectives and powers of people of other races” and “I can commit acts of terrorism, violence or crime and not have it attributed to my race.”
Next, participants were asked to repeat and internalize 50 “white privilege statements,” including: “My culture teaches me to minimize the perspectives and powers of people of other races”; “I can commit acts of terrorism, violence or crime and not have it attributed to my race.” pic.twitter.com/uA8tZXajFi
— Christopher F. Rufo ?? (@realchrisrufo) May 26, 2021
Similar apologetic mantras on gender and sexuality were then repeated, before participants were asked to read a series of “I am tired” statements from the point of view of women and minorities, like “I’m tired of reverse discrimination claims” and “I’m tired of…the concept that we should be ‘colorblind.’”
Though Lockheed evidently deemed it important that its top-level employees atone for their racial sins, all was not well at the time with the corporation’s primary mission: building fighter jets.
A Pentagon review at the beginning of 2020 found more than 800 software flaws with the F-35, and defects that rendered its gun unusable. Though “most” of these issues were said to have been fixed by last summer, a number of issues that could “injure or kill pilots or otherwise jeopardize the plane’s security” remained. At a current lifetime cost of around $1.7 trillion, it is the most expensive military project ever undertaken, and even with the jet entering service, it already requires costly modernization upgrades.
Yoho: This Chris Rufo was on with Tucker tonight. At one recent camp, there was a retired three star general. What the fuck? I assume he doesn’t need the money, and there’s no guns being put to heads, so what was he doing there? I suppose he wanted to stay active as a consultant or something. No dignity or moral compass whatsoever. Not only disgraceful but pathetic. Imagine being put thru such paces with people like Tekapo in charge. All mental free association has to be negative. That’s true free association…..

Doesn’t instill a lot of confidence does it? Perhaps Eisenhower’s Military-Industrial-Complex should be the Military Incompetence Clusterfuck.
Perhaps what we really need, is to get little flapping dicks of all them white-guy dude engineers out of the place, and let people with real smarts take over – Indians (from India, or even Navajo Nation), other Asians. or even 20 kids from the projects … the nerdy ones who were better at mathematics than playing basketball for the Celtics, or a big bunch of Muslim high-school girls who are dead serious about their careers.
Leave the little flapping dicks to wander around the forests getting in touch with their inner KKK, and let Others take over the place. Surely they’re not going to make 800 software errors, including some that could kill the pilots or stop the fighter jet being a fighter jet. LOL.
Is Australia buying the F-35, or are you sticking with the tried and true F-4s?
I believe the RAAF is transitioning to pink hot air balloons. The balloons will be equipped to drop warm fried rice dinners to the occupying PLA forces.

If this weren’t leading to the complete destruction of society, I would not be able to contain my laughter.
As it is… well, I am laughing a little bit, picturing an Agent Po type of deranged, culted CRT ‘specialist’ forcing three star generals to decry all things whitey and prostrate himself on the altar of woke equity and subservience to minorities which by extension nowadays includes men in dresses, wigs and lipstick.
I was just thinking this a.m., after seeing a group of people chanting at a trans dude to leave the library as drag queens are not welcome there, that we truly are seeing the fallout from a collapsing empire. Much like the days of Caligula, where perversion abounded, ridiculousness reigned and cruelty was rewarded. At least some people are fighting back, and lots of them are conservatives, which has given me new respect for them.
What a shit show, though. Sheesh.
Was it drag queen story hour? Yes, much like Rome. No boy devotees of Attis castrating themselves yet and running through the streets holding their bloody bits. We have doctors! And lack the intestinal fortitude for such unholy deeds on our own persons.

Perfect editing. Hahaha.
White Nationalists knew this was coming. None of the rest of you did. What other important things are you missing?
Where to begin..lol. Well most still have trouble believing Race is a thing beyond the affirmation of a global Afrocentric political and economic redistribution scheme. Melanin worship has rendered the very utterance “White Nationalists” verboten and unfortunate. Thus the alleged “Conservative” wing is rushing to disavow that Whites have any collective interests beyond restoring equal application of laws and stopping censorship. The organism is diseased and dying. A body fighting against itself. And yet sadly, I’m afraid most still believe that some level of the American Empire in all of its Babylonian glory is where its at. Never realizing that precisely because of the Empire, the Nation is rootless and homeless. That the nation they see, in truth, is a hologram and a masterpiece of fiction.
A nation run by haves will favor capitalism where the talented earn as much as possible then many of them try to give it back.
A nation run by have-not gimmes wants to favor Communism where their political sway gives them stuff..
The problem with number two is when the PTB get into the lead, there is nothing to give. Not only that, the PTB do not give a rat’s ass about the gimmes.
That is why communism always fails.
Capitalism and Communism are two sides of the same coin. In either instance the PTB do very well. And in both instances the PTB give a rat’s patootie about anyone below their own station. And all of the those laborers who actually build up the civilization and never receive any recognition for it are nothing but “gimmes” to you? Perhaps your categories are too narrow or narrowly defined. Are there indeed many free loaders? Well of course. But then I would rather think that was the whole point of Capitalism and Communism anyway. To concentrate wealth and power into the hands of the few. And render the many to be simply useless. And then again. What is the incentive for anyone on the outside to invest in a closed system they are not actually a part of?
Who do you think the PTB are? They’re the Super-Capitalists and Bankers of course – and even the Antifa desire what they are told to desire: a world without Nations, ruled by NGOs.
The Pyramid is very steep now indeed. Even people we would think to be high level have to abase themselves for being of the Builder Race. And tragically – they do! Thus showing themselves to be unworthy of their heritage.
The Whites who make it to the Capstone obviously don’t identify with their people at all. If they do, they won’t be invited in. Indeed, it looks like the Capstone Dwellers don’t even identify as human.
Yes, I believe that. I think there is some link between the transhumanism ideology and the emerging alien contact narrative that we continue to hear more and more about. Allegedly Trump was discussing the alien narrative the other day. Just like Biden and just like Obama too.
“That is , you can find Hell easily enough in the United States , too.”
I’ll up the ante 😉
The “United States” is a Hell and has escalated the geometric expansion of Hell across the face of the Earth. It’s not the only geographic suggestion that trafficks in such things btw. The one who sits on the Throne of Hell is the ruler of this world and age. And so too do they render unto their Caesar what is Caesar’s.

The Hellish USA is from an attack from outside creating Hell inside caused by the progressive wing. They are in the process to destroy all that is good about the US and substitute the twelve tenets of the New World Order.
Here comes the USSA, the Union of Soviet States of America.

You may be interested in just how bad it is, which Dr. Shiva uncovers after doing an unbelievable amount of research after his campaign for office was sabotaged, in part by Twitter.
He uncovered and has proven (in court) that Twitter is partnered with the US government, which is telling it who to spy on, control, etc.
Pretty amazing. Kind of a slog to watch, but the good stuff is at the end.
So, those lib idiots claiming that Twitter is a private corporation so they can do what they want are 100% wrong.
https://rumble.com/embed/vewsi5/?pub=7z229
I agree with your conclusion. If Twitter is actively partnering with the government to do anything, let alone spy on the population then they are basically serving in the role of the government. IMO that by default removes any of the protections they may have legally as a corporation and I would say that just like any government program they can just be liquidated with a simple command at that point.
Agree completely and if we had any semblance of legal recourse left, this would not be happening.
Civility and compromise are very often not functions of peace at all. But rather defeat. And so they will always speak to you with forced civility and feigned compromise. And at the same time they speak careful polite words to you they are very busy desecrating and ransacking your cherished monuments, idols, and temples.

I see now … you’re just an old-fashion, redneck, rebel-yellin’, good ole boy Southerner. You’re just pissed off the Northern Aggressors are pulling down the statues of Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Jefferson Davis.
How are the monuments in Melbourne holding up? The BLM Sistah in London whose chief portfolio was destroying historic statuary was shot thru the head, so you’re safe — for the moment — of her showing up and throwing a lasso over your Gallopili and Boer War memorials.
Brh
By another Black gang. BLM is a gang and they are gangsters, as well as race hucksters and grifters.
Lol Northern Aggressors. You mean those people who are afraid of their own shadows? Due to your cognitive impairment I see it is easier for you to try to boil everything down to really simple nuggets that you understand and make you feel validated. Again. Bless your heart
You really push Po’s buttons, without even trying!

They’re high on self-righteousness and jacked up on adrenalin, delivered daily from the MSM.
No, they are evil sociopaths.
Only a fool would buy off on the idea they are doing all this evil business of theirs from the goodness of their hearts. Hard to do, they have no goodness in their hearts.

BTW
Watched a You Tube about CC. The man said that one of our major problems right now is that CO2 is way too low.
His data was that CO2 bottomed out at 150ppm before the Industrial Revolution. Plant life needs 150ppm to survive. We are currently at 400 ppm and slowly increasing. Satellite photos are showing a greening of formerly desert areas. His required CO2 level for successful reforestation and reclaim of the desert edges is 1000ppm. He said that it may not be possible to re-achieve it because of extinction of the fauna and destruction of the forests.
The Left will go nuts over this, trying to destroy his theories. But what if he is right? What if Man is destroying everything because he is pulling too much CO2 out of the air with his agriculture over the millennia. Other possibilities are a slowing of carbon mineral decomposition due to drought, a low ebb of volcanic activity.
Whatever the cause, the atmosphere is being distorted by something and we have no idea what it is. Monkeying around with what one group thinks is the problem, being led by a teenager, is bordering on suicide ideation.
A government that really understands and cares would be putting in adaptive strategies into place to help people adjust to new conditions. That may even include a realignment of national borders at arable lands change location. Right now, that can never happen. The two party system in the US is doomed by natural forces and does not have a clue what to do. Bye bye.
A government that really understands and cares would be …
… a Time Machine trip away.
Their future does not include us.

These arguments have been around for quite a long time – I would expect since the 1990s, and they still have legs. It makes sense at one level.
But I don’t know whether increasing CO2 from fossil-fuel burning since 1850 is occurring at a catastrophic rate and needs to be slowed – the vast scientific consensus – but I do have a lot of concerns about what the world is doing about it.
It is simply not possible to sprinkle fairy-dust and claim that the transition to “renewables” is a done deal, and achievable by 2030,2040,2050 … whatever is your favorite date of choice.
Windmills, solar panels, hydro, and other exotic wave and tidal systems, are just nowhere near powerful enough. The re dreamers who believe in “green hydrogen” and “blue hydrogen” but the physics and chemistry are proving devilishly formidable, if not downright fatal.
Battery technology remains stubbornly heavy and expensive. Electric vehicles have a whole range of practical problems in their own right.
I think we need coal, natgas, and nuclear – and if we don’t want to revert to a hippie existence circa 1700, we will need them for a very long time to come.
I find it amazing that nuclear, coal, and even natgas power stations are entering decommissioning, while blithe statements are made by the John Kerry’s of this world, about reducing emissions, and transitioning from fossil fuels, in very short timeframes.
But just how the fuck is it going to happen Mr Czar, without making electricity and transportation totally unaffordable?

Rocinante, despite the flamboyant name, was a bony old thing. Quijote fan here, too.
“I’ve been wondering for several years now about the mental disorder that motivates people to want to monitor everything about everyone as we slouch towards The Singularity via The Great Reset. It is a deep sickness that historically culminates in population complicit genocide. Now, as then, we can see it coming and are not doing much – collectively – to stop it.
Now, as then, we are in insane totalitarian rule by fear, lies, censorship, propaganda, and snitching. Only this time we have the benefit of well established history to inform us and are STILL allowing it to happen.
What is it about our general nature that has us worshiping ‘leader’ even in the face of them killing us right out in the open? Classic empath / psychopath dynamic. The ensouled do not have the ability to conceive of the unensouled so we continue to disbelieve it exists right up to when the oven door slams shut. Or the needle plunger gets pushed.
It’s been spoken of many times. Mengele said the more he harmed them the less they believed he was harming them.”
– Susan Guest
Indeed. A sort of normalcy bias too I suppose. But in the end it really does appear that all civilization is built up upon ritualized abuse, exclusion, and ultimately murder. The psychopaths climb up the food chain and sit at the top because they are who they are. And then the masses with their sheeple brains and bovine nature follow the orders of the psychopaths and feel validated and included in following orders and reinforcing the order of the pyschopaths. They receive small prizes sometimes for their efforts and then work even harder A vicious cycle. Much of it due to the fear of having to think or simply the lack of the ability to really think..
We sure had a decent run having all this hidden from most of us, haven’t we? And some still have no clue.
Things get too organized. To get ahead men must become “company men”. Drones. Droids. If you don’t, you don’t rise up and no woman worth having will have you. Thus the three star general had no problem with abasing himself, he’s been doing it all his life. That’s the purpose of school – to break you, the best you.
Ah! Thank you for that check. Some/many? go along with the vicious cycle because it is simply the only way they can lead a normal prosperous life. They do understand the deal. And others just follow their training manuals. That is important to recognize and remember.
Well said.
Good points, SSL.
Man is a social animal. Sheeple gonna sheep.
We fear being ostracized far more than we fear burning for eternity in Hell.
Now, as then, we are in insane totalitarian rule by fear, lies, censorship, propaganda, and snitching. Only this time we have the benefit of well established history to inform us and are STILL allowing it to happen.

Hey Mary, got a link to the text or vid. that this snippet was taken from?
I would like to read/watch the whole thing. A wise lady.
I think it was just a comment. Here’s her profile:
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010161139101
Here was an intro she did, prefacing it:
“‘…the late social psychologist Erich Fromm describes sadism as ‘the passion to have absolute and unrestricted control over a living being’ … and the end point of sadism is necrophilia, says Fromm, ‘the passion to transform that which is alive into something un-alive; to destroy for the sake of destruction; the exclusive interest in all that is purely mechanical…’ ~ The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness, Erich Fromm, 1973, found in Bright Green Lies, 2021, by Derrick Jensen”

The most interesting thing there was that Fauxi was shown to have equal status as the POTATUS, judging by the way it was staged.
7,670,000,000 people. Each and every one with Free Will
babies have this ‘free will?”
mentally deficient have it?
smart people, evil people have free will?
I am skeptical of this ‘free will’ in a world of cause and effect.
Good point, malthuss. [Note: 7.67B World pop. is according to Goggle & is 2019 data.]
Infants & the mentally incapable technically have Free Will but are unable to exercise … but then they are personally dependent upon 1 or pther people with their Free Will.
You have Free Will, malthuss. You can hop in the car and leave your whole life behind this afternoon. You will not but you could.
You have desire[s]. Do you have free will?
I Believe that we do have Free Will. It is interesting that you bring Desire into the discussion. Free Will is often one’s choice of Good v Evil – supressing or pursuing Desire.
Malthus, yes and no. Smart, evil, babies, retards have a human dignity. Maybe part of it is a potential, or past, right to choose, a free will. Probably yes. All life is precious.
At the same time, homo sapiens is the most prevalent lifeform on Earth. Maybe there’s more ants, but ants don’t have a millionth of the influence we exert. We are really ruining it, shitting in our own bed. So not so sapiens after all.
The key question is “who decides?”. The decision belongs both to the individuals (I will not procreate and consume less) and to a universal consensus about steps to be taken to correct the situation: future avoidance of large numbers of individuals, no potential free will for them, they will not exist (which is acceptable morally, yet nearly impossible to achieve), or reducing the numbers of those already here now (unacceptable. Who decides? Who can play God?)
Q: Who can play God?

Safe and effective. Kills ferrets and people, but otherwise good!
The risks for those under 40 having the AZ vaccine is about 1:100,000, while the risk for all ages is 1:1,000,000. This is within most people’s definition of “safe”.
Scare-mongering by trumpeting rare cases is what anti-vaxxers do.
The anecdotes are relevant, Josephine, as we all experience whatever the outcome will be from this, the Biggest Medical Experiment in Msnkind’s History. D’uh!
In fact, the anecdotes are piling up … and we are stiil in the short-term with medium- and long-term to play out over the next 5-10 years.
My GF’s 92 year-old client that was taken to hospital for vaginal bleeding (for the first time in over half of a century!) yesterday most likely recently had her second AZ dose. That is the product and timing of the kool-aid distribution here in these parts.
Correction: She would have had her second Pfizer jab about 2 or 3 weeks ago.
AZ is for us 56 year olds around these parts but the old folks got the Pfizer kool-aid.
Poor woman. She must be so scared!
Roll up your sleeve, Popo.
Don’t let the Russian Agents and Aliens dissuade you.
He’s afraid, but won’t admit it.
Tek, also infinitesimal is the actual death toll from the virus the vaxx is supposed to prevent. Well under 1% in most groups, not making the top 20 killers by a lot. Alcohol, tobacco and drugs, cancer, car crashes, many other causes are big killers. This thing, nobody can claim is anywhere near, say, the Black Death in Europe, which wiped a third, sometimes more, of the population.
So what’s the rush? Why wouldn’t I prefer to wait and see?
So, we have to ignore the probability numbers when it’s the wild germ, and think only of the feelz. But when it’s the shot, we have to reverse and accept the numbers, damn those pesky feelz.
Wow… no self-awareness whatsoever.
They had a tribute on the telecast of an NHL Playoff game last night for a legend in the niche profession of skate designer. He had worked with many stars including extending the career of Colorado Avalanche’s Peter Forsberg after a serious foot injury.
The man (sorry, I do not have his name) was listed as 1962-2021. We were told that we should, in his honour, contribute to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
Of course, you can’t help but wonder which kool-aid he got. 1 or 2 shots? How long ago? Depending on his birth-date, he was either 58 or 59 years old. He was a normal, healthy looking guy in the recent photos they displayed.
Oh was he allowed to die of diabetes then? Funny how those were Covid19 deaths before the jabs started.
BINGO!
4K dead with only an estimated 1% reported.
Them’s great odds, to the jabber enthusiasts.
4K dead with only an estimated 1% reported.
LOL. You make up any old stuff. And this 4,000, is that world-wide, just the US, or just Ada County Idaho? Whatever – there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that 400,000 have died as a result of being vaccinated against Covid-19.
Sigh … I have to spend most of my time countering and correcting the nonsense BS that gets either made up or regurgitated on here by the loops.
But you didn’t counter anything, Popo.
You just laughed and claimed you did.
LOL.
So VAERS is lying, then? OK.
Maybe explain how the same vaccine would work differently in a different country.
So VAERS is lying, then? OK.
VAERS is not full of lies (well, not necessarily) – it s a register of vaccine events from the public – but they are uncorroborated, unconfirmed, and mostly not investigated.
So Uncle Bob gets the jab, and dies two weeks later … it’s a bit hard to attribute it to the vaccine without verification. But poor old Bob goes into the “4,000 deaths” bucket.
Still no proof of the lie.
Agent Po of Media Matters is not equipped for this.
Nobody knows numbers on anything covid-related.
But we can guess what’s most likely. The most likely scenario is that adverse vaccine reactions are significantly underreported.
That’s my view.
So Uncle Bob gets the jab, and dies two weeks later … it’s a bit hard to attribute it to the vaccine without verification. But poor old Bob goes into the “4,000 deaths” bucket.
So we don’t investigate Uncle Bob’s coincidental death much one way or the other while we focus i stead on getting this experimental kool-aid into as many children as is possible.
I’m not sure that I like your Police work again, there Jo.

I can’t wait ’til Po Po takes his jab.
My lawn guy thought he was gonna die, after both vaxxes.
I know people who have been harmed by the vaccines.
I don’t know any one who was sick or died of Covid19.
And this is the same for 99% of everyone I know.
Anecdotal is all we have, since the CDC, etc. lie, and so do doctors.
Even if you’re correct, Mary, that’s still a rate well under 1%. Yes, I know this is more or less the same rate of the jab.
I meant more or less the same as the covid death rate. And of that jab number, how many were elderly or had co-morbidities?
Many are young. It’s not the same thing, but nice try.
A lot of young people that had zero chance being harmed from so-called Covid19.
This is too idiotic to respond to.
“#BBC radio presenter died in hospital after suffering #bloodclots after receiving #AstraZeneca vaccine, her family has said.
#Headaches a week after having the jab seriously ill a few days later.
Treated in intensive care for blood clots & #bleeding.”
And I posted a video the other day with a mother talking about how her son and husband went to the ICU full of blood clots. Hubby still there over a week later.
Kids had no chance of getting Covid19.

Guessing Dan Crenshaw isn’t seeking therapy over Jan 6th. He’s probably more preoccupied with the memories of an actual IED attack that took his eye…not a made-for-TV clown show that “could have been” something dangerous.

There should be free speech, so the fb ban is wrong. Hell, fb banned JHK last time I checked, maybe 8 months ago.
But one should understand what he’s reading. UNZ is a cauldron of dis & mis info, that features a motley crue of writers, from CCP asset Pepe Escobar to every nazi and cult leader out there.
One writer there I always liked is Fred Reed, writing from Mexico. I used to read him at his own website before he migrated to UNZ. He’s in strange company.
So, censorship wrong, but take the screens you read with a grain of salt, or a pound.

I know about the videos, Mr M. I’m just saying that, as far as I recall, RL just said, ‘look at this, it’s funny’, not look at this, it’s funny and it’s me’.
I don’t imagine it’s impossible for there to be a RL and an LR in the whole of America. Or even that one borrowed the other’s pseudonym for use on another site, which is not remotely unethical, especially with the names turned around.
Joe Bageant referred to himself as a ‘Leftneck’. i imagine the names are not unique on the Interwebz.

GA – The Great Late Joe Bageant called himself a “Redneck Liberal” which is where I purloined the handle. He being dead and all, since late 2011, I couldn’t seek his permission, but I expect he would consider it a compliment.
Sorry RL.
I saw the thread where you convinced O.G. that the YouTube influencer was you.
GA is wrong (again). She’s good at that. I rolled my eyes at that particular piece of bullshit, as I had paid close attention to the thread where you led everyone to believe that guy on YT was you.
You are a liar, and allowed OG to go on and on for weeks assuming you were the guy on YT. You never told him you weren’t.
I read all of it so I know.
Bark up another tree, Fibber McGee, along with the other members of the Troll Triumvirate. I know what you are.
“I saw the thread where you convinced O.G. that the YouTube influencer was you.
Again, MaryQ, provide this imaginary thread.
Go on.
Your inability to produce it will just further prove what a deluded twit you are, along with your awe-inspiring inability to acknowledge when you’re simply wrong and/or making shit up.
MaryV
“GA is wrong (again). She’s good at that. ”
I have said – on not one but two threads now:
(1) I do not recall RL saying s/he was LR (confirmed by actually posting the initial conversation yesterday);
(2) RL did not correct OG when he made his own assumption;
(3) I do/did not know why RL let OG carry on with his own assumption, but put forward a couple of lighthearted suggestions.
Please clarify which of these statements is ‘wrong’.
Thank you.
Also, please note that I am not part of any triumvirate.
I have a stand-alone presence on here and pay dearly for it.
Still waiting for clarification, Mary.
P.S. You haven’t even come close to ‘putting it right’. Just posted a bunch of crap that means nothing in your pathetic defense.
Night Owl also paid attention, and called you out on the lie, yesterday.
What Narc Troll says can be easily discounted as his usual self-congratulatory puffery.
However, YOU continue to make a direct accusation of lying on my part, but you won’t produce this purported thread to support this:
“Redneck Liberal posted those YouTube videos and claimed to be the guy. And then when OG complimented him on his work, time after time, Redneck did not correct him.
I didn’t really buy that he was the YouTube guy but I take people at their word until they say differently.
RL clearly passed himself off as this guy, for weeks now.
So, how about you put the fuck up or shut the fuck up?
You saw comment after comment where people believed falsely it was you. It was obvious even to the biggest moron. You loved identifying as Trae Crowder, so you kept the grift going.
Oh, and I put it up, scroll on down.
You were caught red-handed again, and it is hilarious.
Who are you Peter Proud?
Hahahahaha!
To NONE of these did you respond: “Sorry to have misled you guys, that chap on YouTube is not me.” But you responded to other comments on the threads, so you saw them, and decided to allow them to think it was you.
MrMangoOnMyShoulderApril 23, 2021 at 1:38 pm #
And FWIW, I’ll give Redneck Liberal some slack after seeing his youtube posts (liberal redneck). The words he’s saying I still tend to disagree with in the overall, but most notably so when in written form. Once I saw his personality via video I have softened a bit. Genuinely funny dude.
But I still ain’t running to the vaccination center. Even if someone calls me gay, while throwing a firecracker at a washing machine full of gasoline, (or however they’re choosing to spend their afternoon).

Nope. Kept the grift going on for over a month now.
You ask “Where’s the post saying ” That’s not me…”
I ask you, more pertinently “Where’s the post saying I claimed to be Liberal Redneck?” which is what you have now stated, more than once.
