The signals from the political establishment to Donald Trump ring pretty clear now: get thee hence, thou big-bottomed orange menace to order and sanctity! Has ever a president been lonelier at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave? Lincoln’s “team of rivals” in the drear winter months of 1864 seem downright chummy in retrospect and, of course, poor Richard Nixon stayed swozzled on scotch whiskey during the darkest nights of Watergate, when he reputedly wandered the West Wing halls conversing with portraits of his predecessors.

The other power centers of America, especially the news media, insist that there is no evidence of fraud in the recent election and it’s time to get on with the hallowed ceremonies of transition. The post-Christmas suspense is killing them. Mr. Trump will not be moved to declare that he lost the election — probably for the excellent reason that he really didn’t, if there had been anything like an honest tally of the ballots. They hear murmurings of martial law and the Insurrection Act, and it all sounds to them like an imperial Nightmare on Elm Street. They can hear the tinkle of their lucrative perquisites shattering in the creases of their temporal lobes.

It’s said in the alt.media that the president wishes to exhaust all the formal alternatives before possibly moving onto the novelty steps of contesting this final act of the four-year coup against him, which brings us all the way to January 6, when the electoral college slates are toted up in the House chamber, Vice President Pence presiding. One popular fantasy has the Veep tossing out “certified” votes from states where irregularities were starkest in favor of alt.slates submitted by Republican-majority state legislatures — with Hieronymus Bosch-style Antifa chaos to follow all over the land. Sounds like a low percentage deal to me, but then… what’s actually at stake here?

Not to be too melodramatic, but something kind of like a Manchurian Candidate situation. How okay is it, actually, for Joe Biden, with a record of accepting large sums of money from China’s intel apparatus, to move into the Oval Office, especially after they laid the Covid-19 trip on the world? No problemo, the DNC and its vast network of apparatchiks answer. There’s no evidence of Ol’ Joe colluding for pay!

Oh, but there’s plenty of evidence, and quite a bit of it is in the public annals already, what with Hunter B’s laptop having been partially dissected since, at least, October, and a great tangle of slime-trails clearly revealed in the email logs and his corporate memoranda. And one must wonder if there is additional evidence in John Ratcliffe’s DNI files — you know, the place where every electron of recorded information ever transmitted on the Internet sleeps. You might have forgotten that something a little screwy is going on there, since the ODNI was supposed to issue a public report on the election (and its adumbrations) by December 18 and the fateful report was indefinitely postponed for reasons so far unknown.

Maybe the president’s antagonists are acting super-anxious to get rid of him — and constructing yet another media campaign to agitate public opinion — because there is evidence that other persons in government, persons of both parties, have been importuned by CCP largesse to perform services in recent years, not to mention other incriminating highjinks they’d hoped would fade harmlessly into history with tags such as the Clinton Foundation, the Open Societies Foundations, Skolkovo, Uranium One, the Maidan Uprising, the Steele Dossier, the Mueller investigation… you get the picture… a vast sepulcher of unholy rot where the Deep State has tried to entomb its most shameful secrets, including now the dark deeds of Election 2020.

Problematical, also, is the likelihood — in the event that he actually does concede and agree to exit the scene — that Mr. Trump will transition into post-presidential life with a bale of secret knowledge so huge, reeking, and damaging to his enemies, gathered over four years of access to the nation’s intel files, that not a congressman, senator, or high-up bureaucratic lifer will be left standing as the information dribbles out strategically in the months-to-come of the as-yet hypothetical Biden-Harris (or Harris-Biden) Administration. Imagine what Ol’ Joe, Kamala, Nancy, Chuck, perhaps even “Cocaine” Mitch and the rest of the Beltway gang are fretting about as they chug down their midnight Zolpedims. The Golden Golem of Greatness is not fading away from the Swamp crime scene no matter which way this thing turns out. And don’t forget, he is not exactly alone. Tens of millions of extremely pissed-off Americans are standing-by pretty quietly, for now, from sea to shining sea, behind him.

    Your media will never let you hear any of this –
    https://youtu.be/hKDXVo-OKeQ

    From the proverbial Ukrainian Horse’s mouth.

    Wow!

    • Pete December 28, 2020 at 9:50 am #

      My cynicism is at an all time high.

      Why would any of this information have any effect on what is going on in our country today. Why would this revelation cause those who want power to stand up, admit their mistake and pursue an honest outcome.

      Joe Biden could stand at the podium with horns, a pointy tail and a friggin’ pitch fork, and still be heralded as having won the election by the other half of the country who simply don’t care about the truth.

      It’s in our hands now. We either act, or we go gently into that good night.

      • hortonz December 28, 2020 at 12:30 pm #

        Was Margaret’s boy [aka Justin Trudeau] also getting bribes from the same officials through his Ukrainian Canadian underling Chrystia Freeland to turn a blind eye to all this corruption and shower the corrupt Poroschenko government with billions of dollars in aid? I wouldn’t be surprised.

      • K-Dog December 28, 2020 at 12:59 pm #

        That mask may save him from covid but A dose of American made Novichok will do him in. Putin will be blamed.

        Justice regarding the theft of Ukrainian money is not in the national interest of our oligarchy. The evidence is likely faked. Not to be confused with untrue. But that is fine with readers here. This blog stopped being concerned with truth a long time ago. If it ever was.

        We have a national disinterest in truth and machiavellians are cashing in on that fact.

        News flash – Biden won. Deal with it. Your crocodile tears are lame.

        And I don’t like him any more than you do.

        • Yohannon December 28, 2020 at 1:14 pm #

          Yes he won – by cheating. Thus it’s not legitimate. Remember how you people used to rave (incorrectly) about how Russia stole the election for Trump? Now you don’t care about election integrity or don’t believe cheating is a thing?

          What’s wrong with you?

          • UrbanHick December 28, 2020 at 2:05 pm #

            I can’t speak for all of us “you people,” but my thoughts on Russia in 2016 were that it seemed at the time like it might be corrupt voting machines, but I never heard much in the way of evidence of that (regardless I think all voting should be on paper ballots) and assumed it wasn’t a thing.

            What seems to have been settled on is that Russia’s interference mainly came down to social media shenanigans:

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_2016_United_States_elections

            What really swung the election in 2016 was 1. No one thinking Trump stood a chance 2. Hillary being an uninspiring candidate, and sexism didn’t help either 3. The electoral college not reflecting the popular vote (by design). So that was that. A giant a-hole became president, and it sucked.

            Fast-forward to 2020: Here, finally, is our chance! To get rid of the a-hole! MASSIVE enthusiasm, for, as a yard sign in my neighborhood said, “Any Functioning Adult.”

            “But Joe couldn’t get people to come to his rallies,” some say. Yes, because there was and still is this pandemic thing, and we were encouraged to stay away.

            All those dems who were lulled into complacency in 2016 were rarin’ to go this time around. Joe got ahead in the polls and stayed there. Why think cheating was even necessary? It wasn’t.

            And all of Trump’s lawyers, money, and appointed judges can’t upend this win for Democrats and for democracy, because they can’t find evidence of cheating, because it’s not there.

            It sucks to lose. I remember. I remember the sick sensation, purely out of fear that this greedy narcissist was going to burn the place down. I remember the shock that my own family didn’t see the danger I saw, and found this con man entertaining.

            This whole schism of reality opened up, where we all look at this one guy and see vastly different things.

            Anyway, the law demands proof of cheating, and there isn’t any. See the 50 or so dismissed cases.

            But I do get that some parts of this election do seem fishy. I mean, Mitch McConnell? Winning Democratic strongholds? This year of all year? I call BS:

            https://www.dcreport.org/2020/12/19/mitch-mcconnells-re-election-the-numbers-dont-add-up/

          • Yohannon December 28, 2020 at 2:43 pm #

            So you agree that we should get rid of the Dominion machines that allow candidates to cheat, be they R or D?

          • UrbanHick December 28, 2020 at 3:38 pm #

            Well again, see the link I posted:

            https://www.dcreport.org/2020/12/19/mitch-mcconnells-re-election-the-numbers-dont-add-up/

            Where it says, “Kentucky and many other states using vote tabulation machines made by Election Systems & Software all reported down-ballot race results at significant odds with pre-election polls.”

            So forget about Dominion, seems like this Election Systems & Software is the real villain, right? Except that’s just a link to some web page. Seems legit, but it’s proof of nothing, as much as I’d like to believe it’s true, and to have some reason to send Mitch packing.

            (BTW – y’all think dems hacked the election but left Mitch in power? Are you kidding me?)

            I can only really run with that assumption election machines have allowed cheating if the claim has been investigated, put through the legal system, and found to have merit. As opposed to the way Trump’s 50 legal challenges were put through the system before being found to have NO merit:

            https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2020/12/08/trump-and-the-gop-have-now-lost-50-post-election-lawsuits/?sh=70f18a412960

            (While I’m at it, I never could understand why there’s such populist support for a rich guy whose solution to things not going his way is to sue, and sue, and sue some more, apparently on the assumption the other side will just run out of money and give up. Because that’s what rich a-holes do, and what he would do to you if you were to get n his way.)

            Regardless of the brand of machine, I would rather have votes on paper because, while it has its own problems, paper at least can’t vanish into the ether with a hiccup of an electron.

          • Captain Swing December 30, 2020 at 11:13 pm #

            No Yohannon – He won..by winning – Both the Popular Vote (by a LANDSLIDE) and the College Vote (convincingly).
            In 2016, the Democrats did whine long and loud about alleged Russian meddling – mainly in social media, but how many law suits did they launch to try and overturn the Election? None. Zippo. Zilch. President Obama handed over Power immediately and his People conducted the transition with dignity.
            Of course The Great Comb Over got creamed (as the Polls said he would) and of course the postals went largely in Biden’s favour – Most folks with any intelligence chose to do so, given Covid19 and standing in close quarters at a crowded venue with strangers is, at this time, something best avoided if possible.
            News flash: Postal votes are NOT “illegal” votes, as much as some churlish, ignorant, dumb-assed buffoon (and the even bigger buffoons who support him) wish it was.
            Your Country has an independent judiciary – Trump and his merry band of elves have been thrown out of every one of them because they have not presented a scintilla of evidence to support their claims of Electoral fraud.
            Hillary lost in 2016 because she was poor Candidate, and because a lot of folks were so fed up with BOTH parties that they went with the outsider.
            Trump lost this one because he was an even worse President.
            As for Biden’s “links” with China – All the intel we have seen here in Australia indicates that the Chinese were desperately hoping for a TRUMP victory. They figured that another four years with him at the Helm would just about finish your Country.
            I wish your country well – The World need you. I wish President Elect Biden and Vice President Elect Kamala Harris every success – Especially VP Harris, as I have a feeling she is the one who is ultimately going to sort things out… and I have the feeling she is up to the task.

        • Ron Anselmo December 28, 2020 at 2:39 pm #

          Biden won? He has a better chance of having lunch with Jesus tomorrow.

          Here’s a suggestion, 1 man, representing each 1000 voters for Trump, show up on January 19th, at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, all exercising their 2nd Amendment rights.

          Puts about 74K armed men there, to contest the election – a We The People thang – prepared to stay until the criminal conduct, proven massive voter fraud, “baseless accusations”, and “lack of evidence” claims are sorted out?

          This is not to suggest violence in any way you understand, only an exercise of Constitutional Rights, as the Founders intended, but there will be no pink pussy hats.

          What do we have to lose if we go? Maybe a better question is, what do we lose if we don’t go?

          It really is that simple folks.

          Merry Christmas K-Dog. Did Santa Claus come this year? While we’re on the subject of reality vs. non-reality, he’s not real, you know? If you wish really, really hard though, maybe he’ll show up in a blue suit next year!

            No – just a bunch of pussies too afraid to not carry a gun.

    • Soloview December 28, 2020 at 12:56 pm #

      Problem is that this video comes from interfax which is a Russian news outlet even though it was evidently made by the Kiev branch. Incidentally, for all of those unfamiliar with East European languges, the entire video text is in Russian, not Ukrainian.

      It’s not a fantasy, Jim…It’s a lot of drama over something that has already happened at least twice in American history…Thomas Jefferson, after losing the 1796 election when 3 of his electors deserted him for Adams, won the 1800 election outright(otherwise it would have gone to the House) by counting 3 dubious Georgia electors for himself…In 1876, the Republican VP under Grant counted two entirely bogus delegations from Florida and Tennessee who had been selected by the Army of Occupation, defeating Democrat Tilden by 1 vote…

      If Pence does his job, Trump will win in the electoral college..After that, it’s all good….

      • FreddieMars December 28, 2020 at 3:02 pm #

        Define what Pence’s job is, please. Read the Constitution to be certain.

        • Iananna December 28, 2020 at 4:26 pm #

          I think that the main job description for Veep is “having a heartbeat” which would seem to exclude Pence, who dreams of Gilead & Ofmike handmaidens on Mother’s lap.

      • Tekapo December 28, 2020 at 3:15 pm #

        However the Electoral Count Act of 1887 was passed precisely to bring some order to the process.

        VP Mike Pence chairs the Joint Session, but his role is mostly ceremonial, and he certainly doesn’t have any powers to decide whether an electoral slate from any state is valid or not.

        If there is an objection, the houses divide and both must vote to reject, replace, or overturn an electoral slate, and that won’t happen with a Democrat majority in the House. Even the Senate seems unenthusiastic.

        Apart from that, the pro-Trump shadow electors have no standing – they were not passed by legislatures nor certified by the relevant state governors.

        There are even comments that Mike Pence might not even turn up – that he’s heading overseas that day.

        • Ron Anselmo December 28, 2020 at 11:03 pm #

          *that won’t happen with a Democrat majority in the House* ~ Tekapo

          Makes no difference that there is a Democrat majority – House votes are one per State Delegation – 50 votes total, period.

          Republican State Delegations, currently outnumber Democrat Delegations.

          • Tekapo December 29, 2020 at 1:20 am #

            “Makes no difference that there is a Democrat majority – House votes are one per State Delegation – 50 votes total, period.”

            For all deliberations (in both the House and Senate) on any objections to one or more electoral slates, both houses vote with every member having a vote – as per normal.

            The only occasion where the House votes by state delegation (with each state getting just one vote) is if there is a contingent election for president.

            A contingent election is only required if no candidate receives half of the electoral votes counted. And because the Democrats have a numerical majority in the House, that scenario will not happen on Jan 6.

            So Joe Biden still gets to 306 … at least from my reading.

          • Tekapo December 29, 2020 at 3:04 am #

            And here is a link that explains the counting procedures in Congress, for a presidential election:

        “If” I am seeing disturbing signs that Pence has been lured by the ‘other side’. But this is not set in stone of course, but disturbing.

        • hmuller December 29, 2020 at 8:53 am #

          I never trusted Pence. He looks like the guy on TV who says he’s not a doctor but wants to sell you aspirin, nevertheless.

        • Tekapo December 29, 2020 at 10:41 am #

          If Mike Pence accepts that the Trump administration ends on Jan 20, then he has to find a job, and make a decision as to whether he is going to run for office in 2022 or 2024.

          His political antennae will be tuned, to constantly check whether Trump has any really sustained power over the GOP base or not – once he is no longer president.

          Will depend a lot also on how many legal and financial entanglements that Trump finds himself in next year … Pence may wish to distance himself substantially.

      • Night Owl December 29, 2020 at 4:26 am #

        Trump has at least two paths open, and he is certainly holding his cards close.

        This will help regardless: https://twitter.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/1343757000132472832

        I am not sure there has ever been a more clear cut case of fraud in history. Cartoon-like fraud. So sloppy, it almost seems that they didn’t care that they’d be caught.

        • Tekapo December 29, 2020 at 1:23 pm #

          I remain intrigued that, if there is a “clear case of fraud”, no court cases have been able to provide sufficient (ie credible) evidence to any court, including the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

          Has it been mostly a case of legal ineffectiveness by the Trump team, or some other factor?

          • Night Owl December 29, 2020 at 4:18 pm #

            There has, to date, been no evidence presented in court.

            That is what the lawyers are fighting for.

          • Tekapo December 29, 2020 at 5:19 pm #

            Okay – and I don’t have any skin in this game, I’m just fascinated by the process, and why evidence so far has not been comprehensively presented.

            Is any court going to do anything before next Wednesday, when Congress meets in Joint Session? And it would require decisions for Donald Trump in three states to reverse the Joe Biden majority.

      The Ukrainian press conference is being reported widely, X in the corporate propaganda infotainment ‘news.’ Major info breakthru that will probably be ignored by americanus boobus and the communists.

  5. Rodster December 28, 2020 at 9:56 am #

    JHK in the end lays out a plausible theory that Trump will unload on the opposition. Except people tend to forget that the Main Stream Media is part of the Deep State. They are NOT going to report on any of Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s shenanigan’s.

    Trump once out of Office will be careful to stoke the flames of the Deep State unless he wants to face their anger. Hopefully he’ll be reminded of what happened to JFK and Robert Kennedy.

    More importantly, Trump in the end won’t care as he’s a billionaire, in his 70’s and took a shot at righting some of the wrongs of the US Gov’t. In the end he became part of the problem because he brought in the same Swamp creatures into his administration, he said he would eliminate.

    The USSA is too far down the rabbit hole to bring back. People need to realize that every Empire in world history has it’s day in the sun and eventually “OFF’s” itself by becoming too large. It happened to the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Brits and you can add the USSA to go down in flames like the rest of those Empires.

      The worst of those creatures, IMO, is the execrable Dr. Fauci (along with Dr.s Birx and Redfield).

      In keeping with the Nixon references, I’m feeling a bit like John Dean (only a bit!) with his cancer on the presidency speech.

      I never got to make such a speech in person, I can’t even make it indirectly, without getting my head handed to me by those of the “Trump can do no wrong” school of thought.

      Worse are the arguments I get- it isn’t Trump, the 10th Amendment gives governors the power . No it does not.

      He can’t get rid of Fauci, Nancy Pelosi will become angry . The MSM will fuss. He’s “boxed in” blah blah blah.

      When I speak to the average Trump supporter I meet, though, they are very clear about it, they want those people gone, they want this nonsense to be OVER.

      That “vaccine” they are pushing is experimental. It can only be distributed under a state of emergency. This is the reason the phony emergency has been extended not once, but twice, and it is President Trump who extended it.

      He did this to himself, he stopped listening to the people who put him where he is.

      • neurodoc December 28, 2020 at 10:37 am #

        Interesting Note: it turns out that dr. birx is NOT a licensed physician and has not been licensed as such for many years. Major fraud!!!!! Also, I’ll bet that fauci has not seen an actual patient, that he had responsibility for, in many decades.

        • Beryl of Oyl December 28, 2020 at 10:43 am #

          Note that she wasn’t even fired after she violated her own silly “restrictions”.

          I didn’t know that she has no license.

          You don’t need a license to peddle superstitious nonsense, though. You just need a platform, which for some reason the president continued to afford her, even after hundreds of brilliant men and women urged him to change course.

          • SW December 28, 2020 at 11:38 am #

            Fauci has consistently gotten it wrong but even with his mediocre skills, has kept his job. He stood by his “prediction” that HIV/AIDS would be 10% spread by heterosexual contact and it’s never been more than 4% but he would not retract his statement. These are our public servants — people who can tell us where we can go, what vaccines we and our children must take (I’m not anti-vaccine, I’m anti-coercion) and whether or not we’ll be allowed on a plane.

            I saw Dr. Scott Atlas being interviewed by Tucker right after he resigned.

          I saw yesterday where the Admiral in charge of Covid-19 vaccines at the CDC said yesterday, “By June 2021, every American will have had the vaccine.”

          Really?? Newborn infants? Pregnant women and those women trying to get pregnant? Americans with serious allergies and those who bruise easily are currently exempt from getting the vaccine.

          Not to mention the millions who simply do not want the vaccine in their bodies.

          My understanding is that the “authorities” will attempt to strong arm everyone into getting the vaccine by threatening to quarantine them, take away their banking privileges, deny them the right to attend public schools that have been funded with taxpayer dollars etc.

          The second the US government tries to make this vaccine “mandatory” will be the moment millions of Americans will finally get off their asses and say, “Okay. That’s it.”

            Bill Gates (a dark horse candidate for Antichrist if ever there was one) has said we’ll be in masks until at least midsummer 2022. He also wants everyone in the world to get one of his shots. His employee, Fauxi, admitted that he’s lied about herd immunity in order to hornswaggle people into getting a toxin- filled inoculation against this flu, even though it’s already mutating as flus and colds are wont to do. This is public knowledge, but everyone is so scared of catching a disease with a 99% survival rate that everyone is ignoring it because “Trump is an idiot” and “Trump didn’t do anything to stop the virus” and “America needs socialism NOW or we’ll burn the whole goddamn thing to the ground.”

            When Trump is gone and our rights are gone and our ability to own anything is gone, will Americans finally do something about the keep correct? Or are we so inured to their rape of this country that we’ll let them keep going if they’ll guarantee us a bowl of cold gruel to eat and a straw mat upon which we can sleep, and a sort-of promise to leave us alone?

          • Night Owl December 29, 2020 at 4:21 am #

            If it is made mandatory it won’t be via the government. It will be done indirectly, as employers, airlines, etc. refuse unvaccinated individuals the right to participate in society.

            The constant repetition in the McMedia that we cannot go back to normal until we are vaccinated is just another red flag in the greatest hoax in history.

            That said, think of the profits for those involved. Such caring people.

All heads of state know it’s bullshit and an agenda that has been years in the making. You can even tell by their behavior and inconsistent “science” made up on the spot.

            When this all happens there will be no more “safe spaces” for snowflakes and fairies. Micro-Aggressions will be replaced with actual police state repression.

      “Trump once out of Office will be careful to stoke the flames of the Deep State unless he wants to face their anger.”

      You would think it would be in Donald Trump’s best interests to cut a deal with the Biden administration … go quietly, state clearly that Biden in the legit president, and play more golf at West Palm Beach. And Biden will go soft on any indictments.

      But if Donald Trump keeps feeding the fire about the stolen election for years, the DOJ and other deep state types will go after him with both barrels. It really is his choice.

  6. shotho December 28, 2020 at 10:00 am #

    After playing nonsensical games with the ‘stimulus’ and budget, I’m ready for Trump to shuffle off the board. Begone and let the next process begin. The sooner he exits, the sooner we can see the incoming mess that’s about to unfold. Undoubtedly, the man will keep boiling the pot and that’s a good thing, but surely he will begin to slip into the mists of history and with him out of the way, it will be clearer what needs to be done to save what little is left.

    • Paul December 28, 2020 at 3:37 pm #

      shotho, I’m with you on the vaudeville act which the GGG has always been. Your prediction of what is coming next is an unfolding ‘mess’. But more specifically, what in your view ‘needs to be done’ to ‘save what little is left.’ And what exactly is that ‘little’?

      • shotho December 28, 2020 at 5:01 pm #

        I believe that the unfolding mess is our financial plight. Trump has done nothing but aggravate the incredible debt load we are carrying. At some point the bond market will implode, sending interest rates much higher, where they naturally belong. The dollar as world’s reserve currency is already threatened and may not survive at that point. What little is left? I’m not sure about that and it certainly doesn’t seem that much of the character of the American people is left. The weight of this will likely force a change of governance with strong men coming to power. The nature of that power is a big question mark for me.

      • Night Owl December 29, 2020 at 4:34 am #

        He is anything but a vaudevill act. He is to date the only president who has been able to draw out the global cap fascists into the open, to fight them in plain view.

        If Trump goes, it is unlikely there is going to be anyone to stop what is coming.

        It never ceases to amaze me how many can see part of the picture, but lack the balls to be honest about all of it.

  7. NickelthroweR December 28, 2020 at 10:09 am #

    Greetings,

    Frankly, I do not think that any of this matters. They’ve printed the currency into worthlessness while creating a scenario where more than half of US households now depend on government payments or their moratorium edicts in order to survive.

    Velocity of our currency is just above one which means that the currency created vanishes as quickly as it is conjured up. The principle and interest, though, remain to be repaid by the taxpayer – all 28 trillion of it (plus all the unfunded liabilities).

    Finally, that Trump hesitated to sign the bill did nothing but expose all the pork that was in it. People got to see for themselves a 5500 page give-a-way while their “resistance”, loss of work, loss of purchasing power was rewarded by a one time check for $600.

    The end can’t be far off now.

    • Beryl of Oyl December 28, 2020 at 10:19 am #

      I heard that his only quibble with the stimulus was the amount to Americans.

      Your statement of velocity of money is correct. That is the only thing holding hyperinflation at bay and with more phony money being added to the Fed’s balance sheet day by day, it’s only a matter of time for inflation to get out of hand. Ultimately, we have no one to blame but ourselves, as the politicians are just giving our fat and lazy population what they want.

        In “Capital in the 21st Century” Thomas Piketty lays out a pretty clear history of what happens when wealth accumulates in the hands of a very few people. The wealth always gets re-distributed or destroyed. Redistribution can come through taxation or civil upheaval. Destruction comes through war or financial system collapse. Of the four, most people would prefer taxation to solve the problem. Is it a coincidence that the top 1% of wealthy Americans hold about $26 Trillion in wealth and that the national debt is about $27Trillion? Just doing the numbers, and assuming that the current crop of Red Hat reactionaries goes back to their TV’s and Pizzas next year, it looks like it will be time to Eat the Rich as O’Rourke would say.

          I for one believe that “The End” would be best served by the same kind of breakup that has allowed the Russian part of the Soviet Union to emerge as a much sounder and unified State.

          The USA is no longer a nation united. It’s brief history as an Empire is over, having exhausted its wealth in attempt at military dominance only to see nations like Russia and now China achieve military equality or defensive impermeability. The USA’s history of starting a war to unite it’s citizenry is no longer an option because the common people have finally learned that all governments lie all the time.— including theirs.

          The emergent nations within— New England, the Confederacy, Greater Texas, Californicia. and Cascadia all have economic bases stronger than many existing countries.They have little or no cultural commonality. And most important of all they are small enough to not nurture fantasies of becoming Empires.

    And bring on the post-holiday dark winter of gray skies, lonely winds and endless cold. I love all three of those things in principle, but I can feel there’s going to be a downturn in the general American psyche this year. A collective seasonal depression begins for the nation. The things to look forward to have passed, and we’re left with…blah.

    Soon, even the enthusiastic and empowered Biden voter bloc (or especially them?) will come to be disaffected by the choice they were given and the lack of something good to be found there. More businesses down, more freedoms willingly given away, the likely shocking number of vaccination side effect horror stories that will seep out and then be softly quashed by the msm…spring may feel good for a few days as the air smells refreshingly hopeful, but people will not feel fulfilled and rejuvenated as they once did.

    Or…hell, maybe it’s that I lost the fantasy football championship yesterday and I’m feeling a bit pessimistic this morning. Either way, get some sun (where you can find it), exercise (where you can do so without getting hypothermia), and take your vitamins. Gonna be a strange winter.

        The local ski area is a second tier destination resort. They designed an extensive Corvid Compliance protocol in order to be allowed to operate in the face of county-wide mask mandates and rolling lock-downs. Part of their program is to hire a roving band of Mast Nazis who’s job it is to make sure that everyone is properly muzzled.

        I went up to the mountain yesterday,unable to resist the sunshine in spite of the Christmas hordes. All of the masks being worn were of the cloth variety — Mast Nazis and the pubic alike. (Which science and simple logic show to be completely ineffective in stopping nano-sized particles many sizes smaller than the openings in the cloth material.)

        One encouraging sign in this clusterfuck—– at least half the skiers on the mountain have reached the end of accepting Control. Ten Mask Nazis for 1500 people were simply ignored as the skiers loaded onto chair lifts and harvested Vitamin D.

        One can only hope that it is the first sign of refusal to accept an fraudulent election managed by the CIA Dominion servers in the Frankfurt Germany office. And refusal to accept DNA alteration by mRNA “vaccines.”

      The buyer’s remorse started on Twitter on Nov 4 when gullible and bamboozled liberals were actually SURPRISED that Biden was going to put neocons, Monsanto execs and various other psychopaths in his cabinet. That they didn’t figure this out 12 years go is stupefying.

      Biden will be gone by April Fool’s Day by either illness or death, impeachment or invocation of the 25th Amendment, or resignation. He’ll be replaced by a jism-swilling, mentally unstable, power-mad harpy who will do whatever Gates, Soros & Co. tell her to do in exchange for the big chair. The Woke will rejoice that a POC is in charge, even though she’s, again, a mental case, and one who kept POC imprisoned after their terms were up so as to appear “tough on crime.”

      I expect the economy to do well, as far as Wall Street is concerned anyway. Main Street is damn near dead, but it’s been dying for years due to our addiction to cheap foreign shit from big box stores (and now Amazon). When the dollar dies, the masses will be scrambling to find food, while the plutocracy will luxuriate in their de facto palaces. Morons like K-Dogshit can’t grasp that Trump, even with his flaws, was the last chance America had of keeping the Bezoses and from destroying the middle class. With Trump gone, there is nothing — NOTHING — to stop the ruthless bastards from finishing off the American Experiment. Thanks a lot.

    To paraphrase B. Franklin; A republic is ONLY operable IF a large enough segment of society is grounded in a sense of legality, morality and selflessness. “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what YOU can do for YOUR country (JFK). We are so far past that societal ideation as for it to be beyond comprehension as to its meaning for the majority of “ Americans”. Today, the thinking is diametrically opposite of JFK’s admonition. It’s now only a matter of the form by which leftist enact (multiple) scenarios that accelerate the devolution of society. As I’ve stated prior, identify your area of control, plan accordingly for contingencies, envision really Bad JuJu scenario’s and PRACTICE with Bad Intentions.

    Trump has the power of the primary, so long as honest elections are held. He could, if he wants, advise the Trump supporters to back one GOP Senator in Georgia, and sink the other. That would let EVERY Senator know that he is now the power broker.

    That is one reason why the establishment GOP doesn’t want to look too closely at election fraud. Trump is likely a bigger threat to them than the Democrats at this point.

          Living and working in Southeast Asia since 1988 I have come into contact with a number of employees, executives, financiers and others who appear to have missed the time machine: they seem puzzled and incapable of understanding that anything whatsoever could ever ever happen to their dollar savings.

          Cheap Chinese-Indonesian conglomerates squirted their money offshore just before the recent crises – most notably in 1998. Resting comfortably in “safe havens” like Panama I presume it was denominated 100% in Uncle’s currency.

          Won’t they be astonished when the system burps and gasps, and the value of those Yankee Yuan evaporate magically?

          When I politely mumble something about Norwegian Krona or physical gold I get the oddest looks. “Is this old white bastard expat trying to put me on?”

    Maybe when child chest rubber Biden gets into office, he can look into the USPS. Word has it that bins and bins of mail are stacked up in Central Virginia. It is so bad, the they can’t even use “First in, First out” to move things along. Bins are being shoved in front of older bins.

        The demand for precious metal has been unrelenting now that the government has tossed all restraint to the winds and simply spends with abandon with no real intent to ever erase the ever growing deficit.

        The Media is our societal nervous system. The medium that conveys messages from our brain to our hand or our senses to our brain. Nothing gets done because an alien organism now controls our nervous system. Thus the media needs to taken over immediately after the Crossing.

          If our 17 Intel money-pits were REALLY clever, they’d back off Snowden and Assange and stop looking to prosecute or even come out in favor of pardons — slough off those “small-potato cranks” as if they didn’t matter. But, no, pricks like commie Brennan are so bitchily vindictive they can’t even play the game. No wonder the CIA supposedly had no frigging clue the USSR was about to implode, right up to the end.

    Continuing a discussion from yesterday

    How are we ever going to decrease the national debt if the number of gimme folks outnumber the number of productive folks. The government never producers one dollar of wealth but it sure can spend the public’s wealth. Hence the deficit and debt shooting up like rockets.

    The sins of the Deep State are documented on the history of the national debt. They will never stop taxing and spending as that is the source of their power. Also, they are no longer part of us, the public of the US. This election was the final stage of their separation from us. IT and manipulation of ballot counts, per Joe Stalin, now invalidate any election result. Hence, why bother to care, just stay in your basement.
    The 1.4 trillion you are seeing in this relief bill is just the beginning. The Dems have won for now, whatever their means. Spending will now be the answer to all social problems. Forget about the debt, until your piece of it comes due for payment, ie you retire, and there is nothing there.

    The end approacheth. One of the signs is when the Deep State officially divorces itself from the debt, which is in process now.

    The crud is the mechanism. Spend, spend to try to keep the economy afloat. No amount of money, not wealth, is going to stop the downfall now. No party has any answers. And with the quality of our elected government officials, it is mission impossible.

    • Soloview December 28, 2020 at 1:28 pm #

      You better take your Economics 101 again. The humungous US debt is not the result of too much taxation but exactly the opposite, too little taxation. You only have to look at the federal tax brackets of the 1950-60 and compare them to the last forty years, to see where the whole monetary system began to collapse. Yes there is wasteful spending that can be cut down, but the country needs significant revenue boost to begin to amortize the insane debt and finance the much-needed rehab of the infrastructure.

        “ but the country needs significant revenue boost to begin to amortize the insane debt and finance the much-needed rehab of the infrastructure.”

        LOLOL!! “Revenue boost”. Translated from Marxist 101: More pressure needs to be applied to the fewer-by-the-day productive tax donkeys to pay the immediate desires of the slovenly gimmedats so they won’t riot and make democrat politicians look bad. All that’s missing is calling extraction of earnings by force “Investment”.

        • Wizard of the Saddle December 29, 2020 at 6:12 pm #

          It never occurs to these lame brains that the quickest way to stop the hemorrhaging is to stop spending money the country does not have. Just like regular folks have to do.

          Asking for tax hikes just encourages the bastards to up the spending even more.

          I say cut off their goddamned allowance.

      • rube-i-con December 28, 2020 at 5:32 pm #

        virtually no one paid those ultrahigh tax rates in the 1950s and 1960s

        you cannot tax an economy into prosperity

        that is ludicrous

        the US debt is simply due to excessive spending beyond income

        it~s that simple

        cut taxes to 5% and watch the supernova explosion in tax revenues

        i~ve seen it live and in living colour

        trump~s tax reduction led to record tax revenues

        • JohnAZ December 28, 2020 at 5:55 pm #

          Rube I con

          Right! A very long term plan of economic enhancement with tax reductions and spending reductions is needed. Looong term 30 to fifty years. And the rapid reduction of the gimme percentage of the country as they do not produce wealth to enhance the economic growth.

          The most recent deficit reduction, Clinton in the late 90s, was done with welfare reform, ie gimme reduction. Since then they have skyrocketed and so has the debt.

          Look around, trillions spent on Covid and trillions for social programs under the Dems control.

          We have not got a chance.

      • JohnAZ December 28, 2020 at 5:46 pm #

        Soloview

        Your understanding of economics is pretty limited it seems.

        To offset debt, one must have revenue, earnings. For the taxing agency, there must be a robust economy to tap for funds. Every dollar taken from the economy to pay for gimmes is a dollar that is not being invested in the economy. The government is a sink for wealth not a source.

        After a while of acquiring gimme folks, which the Dems have excelled at, their drain on the economy is filled in with more and more debt.

        Trump was right, more economy growth, more tax revenue.

        His problem, he was fifty years too late. Just like in family finances, when money is borrowed to pay interest payments, bankruptcy is inevitable and the downward trend cannot be reversed.

        What would happen if we really increased taxes to the point that we could start paying down the debt. Just what happened with Obama, when corporate taxes were 35%. Everybody left and went to China. China exploded its economy over twenty years thanks to us.

        Expatriate citizens are starting to increase due to inability to pay all the taxes. Both from state to state and US to foreign lands.

        Taxes must be balanced and minimized to allow adequate economic growth to support the tax base, and support the expenditures needed.

        The US has become a paupers paradise. We support so many gimmes that there is no way to pay the freight. Why? Because gimmes do not create any wealth to tax.

        So if we want more gimme voters to support our own political base, we are just increasing the debt. That IS the problem, and the Covid increase of unintentional gimmes, not their fault, is proof.

  22. MrMangoOnMyShoulder December 28, 2020 at 11:02 am #

    Interesting thought…isn’t is rather a head turn to notice that Trump, having been now exposed to humility in the “loss” of the election, is now acting “presidential”?

    If only he’d done that four years ago, he’d have been embraced. I thoroughly expected his rhetoric and Twitter style to change the second he entered the Oval Office. “We just don’t say things that way, sir. Here’s how you speak to connect to more people (cue Obama speech video)” I appreciated him being him, it was amusing and refreshing, if not completely annoying at times.

    But now that he has some taste of loss, he’s acting like a normal human. Maybe this will do him some good.

    • benr December 28, 2020 at 11:21 am #

      I got news for you Obama did not act Presidential he was petty and vain.

      He insulted people right and left to include the Supreme court to their face as well as half the electorate.
      After reading off his handy teleprompter in the rose garden he went to leave but was slowed by Hildabeast on the path back to the Whitehouse so what does he do?
      He side steps around cankles and steps right in front of her causing her to have to stop.
      You could see the tension in her posture and how pissed she was.
      I was appalled by him propping his feet up on the resolute desk the man had zero respect for his role in fact there are so many things he said and did I am sure there is a book out there and I wish I would have wrote them down as he did and said them.

      I love the recent picture of his hideous wife and him rowing a double kayak she was way more manly looking them he was!

            But could that possibly be because drones are far more prevalent in recent years as a preferred “easy” method of war?

            Nah, must just be because Obama was a better person.

            Kind of like the added national debt is always (every new president in my adult lifetime) multiples of the entirety of the debt before then. Not an argument.

        Pro tip: Events like this are either false flags or real. But you will never learn the truth either way, because the media will simply construct whatever narrative is most suited to the goal at hand.

        Obama took the teeth out of Smith-Mundt to help enable the propaganda you are subjected to. You will never learn the truth, and TBH, even if it were reported accurately, the sources are too suspect to be believed. We have crossed the Fake Nooz rubicon.

        Lastly, as the event has little effect on your life or anything that is happening outside of the space the explosion occured, it is best ignored.

    The agencies behind all this are the ‘global management’ crew. Remember the airport book “The Work of Nations”. It was the predictive programming starting gun. (or the one the ‘educated middle class’ noticed-all those Fabian and CFR articles flew under the radar) Francis Fukuyama famously wrote the globalist victory speech. The 90s were all about Europe was going to take over from America because they were so multi-culti. The problem is these schemes have all hit the same wall utopian plans always hit when they meet the messy terrain of human animal reality.

    “The signals from the political establishment to Donald Trump ring pretty clear now: get thee hence, thou big-bottomed orange menace to order and sanctity!”

    Donald Trump was/is a modern version of the old ink-blot test. What image do you see in all that muddled ink splat? Savior? Devil? Business tycoon? Huckster? Preserver of America? Destroyer of America? That boss you always hated? Fulfiller of prophecy? Bankruptcy king?

    What he was/is remains the same of what he always is: A ceaseless self-promoter who seems HIMSELF in all things and does everyone with the goal in mind of helping himself or a member of cherished set of family members and insiders and enablers and lackeys.

    Drain the Swamp? Lock her up? All those big promises along the way? All of that playing up to the cheering, adoring crowds of fans and worshipers? His real score card: A great big flop. Just like Obama was to his same kind of crowd of sad worshipers and lackeys.

    As for President Trump, “has ever a president been lonelier at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave?” Maybe not, but he has only himself to blame. When you spend four years insulting everyone and everything around you then it’s no surprise when no one is there to come to your aid when you need help. Instead, it’s “Payback Time!” And all of these many targets of Trump’s ire are now relishing their chance to stick it to him in every way possible.

    There is something to this thing… working together. Compromise, the good kind. Treating people with respect (even if they don’t “deserve” it). Acting the leader. Leading by example.

    Did Mr. Trump do any of these things? No, not when there’s all those people to attack on social media platforms endlessly all day. And who suffers most? Sure, Trump does. But his supporters suffer worse. They believe/believed in this man. They took four years of abuse from friends and family for this man. They placed their faith in this man. And he left them down. Oh sure, supporters may blame the Evil Dems and Gutless Reps who did not work with Trump. And they do get their big share of the blame. But bottom line, you reap what you sow. Trump sowed chaos and anger and smirking and working angles to bring benefit to his insiders for four years and now it’s harvest time of a tarnished legacy and millions of heartbroken and disillusioned supporters who still wear red caps and want to believe… because they have nothing else left to believe in.

    • Tate December 28, 2020 at 1:33 pm #

      If you look very hard you can see that Obama & Trump had something in common, & if one focuses closer in, one can see that YOU have it in common with the both of them. The idea that “working together, compromise” are enough anymore is ludicrous. They underestimated the size of the problem & so do you. There will come a day when this shopping mall called the U.S. of A. will get the leader it truly deserves however.

    • Tate December 28, 2020 at 1:47 pm #

    Roundball Shaman,

    “Compromise” is one of those weasel words that can mean anything you want it to. Meeting half way. Listening to the other side. Taking turns in ‘getting your way’. Continuing to talk through differences.

    It’s all bullshit.

    Meeting half way means what, exactly? It means no one wins, no one is happy. How do you “meet half way” on Critical Race Theory? Does that mean that saying “brown paper bag” in a bureaucratic report is still “racist”, but driving on “blacktop” is sorta, kinda, maybe OK if, in your struggle session, you say that you meant no underhanded racist intent?

    Listening to the other side is also meaningless. You can nod your head like a demented, phony, therapist bobblehead, being careful to add the rote “so what you’re saying is …” … “Yeah, that’s what I’m saying, are you fucking deaf?” You can then say you listened, but what’s the action?

    Taking turns is also impossible in the real world. Imagine the ‘vision’ of the country then. One week it’s the printing press on steroids, the next it’s sell, repair, or recycle all your useless shit, buy food from local farms, and play and listen to music for free within your own neighbourhood.

    Continuing to talk is downright funny. How do you talk when one side — the DNC and corporate RINOs, funded by the Deep State — have declared war? Do you flick an olive branch onto the blood-soaked ground in front of your smoking trench?

    “Compromise, with respect” is an insult. Respect is earned, not given.

        I am reminded of the politician who praised moderation in all things and walking the golden mean between corruption and honesty.

        In other words there’s right and there’s wrong. Making accommodations for those who practice evil is not OK.

        For example:

        “I’ll be tolerant of child molesters, so long as they don’t kill the children. After all that’s just another sexual inclination. Who are we to judge?”

        Perhaps as a left-wing admirer of the deep state and globalist totalitarian world agenda, you would disagree.

    Gohmert and other idiotic Republicans filed the most absurd lawsuit stating the VP has the power to pick the electors !! The outgoing VP who as the constitution says COUNTS the votes ….. how stupid are you all ??

    • JohnAZ December 29, 2020 at 11:27 am #

      R8

      Who is the stupid one here?

      The 12 th amendment states the process starts with “The electors”.

      Who is that exactly and how do the states pick them? Is the elector selection process legal? There are 50 different answers to that question.

      For example, two Pennsylvania sets of electors exist going to the VP. The first the original, ordained by their Supreme Court, and the second selected by their legislature, “taking back their power”. Which goes to the final selection process in DC?

      This is not so cut and dry as you seem to think. The procedure may get reviewed by the SCOTUS before all is said and done, January 20 is no sure thing.

      You hang your hat on your understanding of the Constitution, which I just one in one hundred million. Only time will tell.

      Trumpers, do not put away your MAGA hats just yet. They corruption of this election may be undone yet.

      • JohnAZ December 29, 2020 at 11:40 am #

        You know, the most important issue here is the eradication of the ability of elections to be defrauded.

        Even you, r8, should be concerned that computer systems may be used to set up elections depending on which IT group has control. The ones with the most IT resources and money have ultimate control. Also, mail in ballots are so corruptible, all the affidavits talk about hundreds of thousands of “who knows where they came from” ballots were just put into the machines and counted. Will elections be decided by how many people sit around generating phony ballots that will be brought in by the truckloads?

        r8, the voters, you and me, no longer control election outcomes. Biden may have beaten Trump legitimately, but we will never know.

        Your justification based on all these judges is a joke. The judiciary of this country is just one extension of the Deep State.

        BTW, if Georgia produces one or two GOP victories for the Senate, who becomes the most powerful person in DC?

        Who, with his two female soldiers, will control the votes in the Senate? Hint: what do you put on your hands when it is cold outside? Who will run for president in 2024?

    Paul, it seems that our esteemed host shares our mutual admiration of Milton’s “Paradise Lost” if today’s header “in Darkness Visible” is any indication.
    It is hard to believe, writing almost 400 years ago, how prescient Milton was of the current scene – one might just transcribe large chunks and it would be highly apposite.
    To wit, from Book 1, after being rejected for his overweening, –
    Reserv’d him to more wrath; for now the thought
    Both of lost happiness and lasting pain [ 55 ]
    Torments him; round he throws his baleful eyes
    That witness’d huge affliction and dismay
    Mixt with obdurate pride and stedfast hate:
    At once as far as Angels kenn he views
    The dismal Situation waste and wilde, [ 60 ]
    A Dungeon horrible, on all sides round
    As one great Furnace flam’d, yet from those flames
    No light, but rather darkness visible
    .
    If that is not a description of today’s Benighted States then I’ll say no more.

            Well, I replastered a few walls in the basement. As I was doing some painting a few weeks ago, around 11 p.m., I heard some low pitched murmering coming from a back room. Figured I was hearing things.

            About 10 minutes later all of my body hair stood on end and I felt a presence approaching my spot on the stairs. I tried to ignore it and it became overwhelming. Almost woke my wife up to come and stand at the top of the stairs so I could finish.

            I have had other experiences like this, but I have never been so unsettled before.

            Dunno what it was, but somewhat related: I was recording some guitar tracks here for a music project and captured what sounds like a (loud) scream at the end of a take. Could be some weird overtones that the mic caught, but man does it sound like a German dude yelling “jaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

            I took it to mean he/it liked the track.

He went to jail for atleast 5 times and a look at George Floyd’s profile as per court documents reads like a career criminal involved in drug abuse, theft, criminal trespassing, aggravated robbery as well as entering a woman’s home and pointing a gun at her stomach while looking for drugs and money.”

    My, My. We seem to have “acquired” FOUR little trolls. They issue comments which range from superficially cogent to outright moronic. Ignore these shills, let them rant to an empty arena. Responding to these cretins may well lessen the impact of your own comments , which could serve to reduce the pleasure of perusing these, mostly intelligent (up to genius), comments.
    If the dems steal Georgia and enact HR 1, remember what James Watt Said: “If not the ballot box, then the cartridge box”. Nuff Said.

    Many on this site go on and on about the Vid. Who’s had it? Who knows someone who has had it? There are probably a hundred people posting here on CFN. I have not had the “Sickness” as my granddaughter calls it. She is 6YO and thinks we are all going to die. I know probably 15-20 people which have had Covid-19. Mostly fireman and cops. My nephew , a PA, had it. My SIL had it. Heavy smoker and 75 YO. A bad cold she says. She was at the house Christmas along with a bunch of other people. FUCK GOV. Charlie Baker.

        excise the ~worry portion~ from your numbers give us 45k dead from covid in younger age brackets

        knowing the horrible state of Americans’ health, co-morbidity is highly likely to account for 40% of those deaths

        so i~ll give you 30,000 purely covid-related deaths, kind of like the regular flu

      I have known five people who have had it.

      None of them wound up permanently invalided.

      On a personal note , the first person I knew who got it was an asshole before she got it , and a year after having contracted the malady , she seems no less the asshole than before.

      One of the five did die .

      — She was in a nursing home , and I’m certain regarding my memory on this ; She was expected to die soon anyway , and that was the prognostication a year and a half ago , before anyone had even heard of Covid.

      Now for speculation ;

      I suspect that hundreds or even thousands in my immediate circle have either been exposed to it , or even have it , but just don’t know they have it.

      Rather than this scaring me , or making me all paranoid and shit ,

      If true , it rather instead suggests to me that this simply is not the Black Death.

      It’s just yet another example that modern man is a totally out of control , control – freak .

      StE

      “Heavy smoker and 75 YO”

      Smokers are apparently at less risk from serious Covid issues than the general population. So they can afford to be glib.

      • stelmosfire December 29, 2020 at 2:30 pm #

        Well then. I’m headed out to pick up a carton of non-filter Chesty’s. Saves me from the VID I guess.

        • GreenAlba December 29, 2020 at 7:59 pm #

          I can’t remember the presumed mechanism, StE, but I do recall from way back in the early stages of deaths in Wuhan itself, that very few of the deaths were among smokers. Lots were old men (70% of Covid deaths are in men, I think), and lots of old men in China smoke, apparently. But the smokers were spared the worst, proportionately.

          I also recall reading a lovely (but short) book called ‘The Forgetting’ many years ago when my mother was taking care of her sister, who had Alzheimer’s. I’d recommend it to anyone with a demented relative – I seem to recall it won the BMA prize for the popular medicine category for the relevant year … but I digress. The author mentioned that smoking seemed to be protective against Alzheimer’s, for some unknown reason. He cited a study, as they do, and of course other studies have said other things, but for what it’s worth …

          https://www.amazon.co.uk/Forgetting-Understanding-Alzheimers-Biography-Disease-ebook/dp/B00C0U74TS/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+forgetting&qid=1609288968&sr=8-1

          I suppose smoking would make you more vulnerable to vascular dementia though, perhaps.

          And if you like weird facts, here’s one I also recall from that book. When you tickle a young baby’s foot (under 6 months – or less, I don’t remember?) its spontaneous reaction is to splay out its toes. With older children and adults, it’s the opposite – the toes are curled inwards.

          But when a person gets dementia, they go back to the baby’s reaction of splaying out the toes. Strange. A propos of nothing, but it stuck in my mind.

          I think it maybe followed the pattern of how the book described the disease – as an unlearning of things people had learned over their lifetime.

          • bluekayak December 29, 2020 at 10:25 pm #

            You are referring to what is known as the “BABINSKI sign”. A neurological based on the obse rvations of Josef BABINSKI. Young infants splay their toes when the sole of the foot is stimulated; normal people above the age of 18 months will curl their toes.
            Trauma patients with severe brain damage will present the babinski sign like an infant.
            It is one of the saddest things to see in the back of an ambulance …. You know you are transporting so

        They keep saying we are the stupid ones yet they won’t look beyond the false propaganda. I could fill the page with links to articles by doctors questioning the official narrative (many of whom were then fired, or in China executed).

        A typical MSM story reads: “He died after testing positive for Covid”

        Does this mean he died from Covid? Well no, not exactly.

        A hospital may test some old person about to die from pneumonia for Covid. If the results are positive, you can add Covid to the causes of death and collect more money

        “if it’s a straightforward, garden-variety pneumonia that a person is admitted to the hospital for – if they’re Medicare – typically, the diagnosis-related group lump sum payment would be $5,000. But if it’s COVID-19 pneumonia, then it’s $13,000, and if that COVID-19 pneumonia patient ends up on a ventilator, it goes up to $39,000.”

        https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/04/24/fact-check-medicare-hospitals-paid-more-covid-19-patients-coronavirus/3000638001/

        And do note the tests used have been debunked as bogus and useless, showing too many false positives. (Just the way the Healthcare Industry likes it.)

        Have you ever heard of the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta? Apparently, they also are a bunch of right-wing crazy tin-foil hat wearers. Because they say 94% of those who died “with” Covid had an average of 2.6 co-morbidity factors. So how many would have died if they had Covid alone? How many simply tested positive via the flawed test kit? How many really died from the usual causes which kill old and sick people every year?

        You Kool-Aid drinking, MSM loving mind zombies think you have accurate, unimpeachable numbers?. You think you’re so smart and well-informed? You people are a joke.

        • benr December 29, 2020 at 9:56 am #

          My daughter was possibly exposed to covid at her work.
          Four tests now one positive three negative.
          First one came back positive next three negative.
          Her work is making her take yet another one.
          Her husband is about to go into quarantine for some deployment work up.
          The testing as of right now is a joke and costs $200 a pop.
          Her company is spending $1,000 on virus test that don’t work on just her.
          They have several hundred people that pop in and out of the office at any time. Start doing the math and it is mind boggling.
          How many billions of dollars are being spent on just the testing?
          How many trillions of dollars are being lost in productivity?
          Closed businesses?
          Never to return?
          I noticed yesterday a dry cleaner closed up shop down the street and that industry may never recover.
          Watching plenty of small mom and pop business shutter up.
          My favorite barber shop closed their doors never to return.

          One big law suit and the bill handed to China is what all nations of the world should do right now.

            Even with a fine toothed-comb, one can no longer find that reference on his Wikipedia page.

            There is this howeber:

            Kunstler is a harsh critic of both the Republican Party, describing them as “a gang of hypocritical, pietistic sadists, seeking pleasure in the suffering of others while pretending to be Christians, devoid of sympathy, empathy, or any inclination to simple human kindness, constant breakers of the Golden Rule, enemies of the common good.”[5] and also the Democratic Party and their “underhanded attempts” to get rid of Donald Trump, a man whom Kunstler sees as showing “strength”.[6] He was also a promoter of the concept of a so-called “deep state” working to overthrow and thwart Trump.[7] He endorsed Trump for re-election and declared that he intended to do “everything he can to prevent the Democrats from winning the election.

            which seems a fair enough assessment. If he could only dig deep enough to share that utter disdain for the GOP rump and express THAT once in a while too.

    Does anybody remember that the Wuhan novel coronavirus’s first reported incidence was in extreme close proximity to a high-security bio-weapons lab in the city of Wuhan, that the virus had properties that could NOT have been the result of natural mutations, that it appeared during the peak of Chinese New Year travel season, of which the city of Wuhan was a travel hub, that it coincided suspiciously with international military games in that city a week previously in which U.S. military personnel participated, & that the initial Chinese reaction was a pretty clear OVER-reaction (images of spray trucks, people being hauled away in chains, hauled out of their homes), causing a panic which spread around the world?

    It appears that Dominion was sending vote tabulations to servers in Belgrade, Frankfurt, Barcelona, and Toronto. For instance, why were vote tabulations from Georgia sent to China or votes from Nevada sent to Pakistan? What did Iran do with all the data it mined from its hack of the voter registration system? And what about the printed ballots from China and Mexico? Its not really fraud. The word fraud for some reason doesn’t have the right feel even though the connotation is good. A better word for that sort of foreign collaboration though is treason. But. What does that mean in a lawless society? And if it doesn’t mean anything then it would seem that elections and elected officials don’t mean much either at that point. In any case. Very recently, John Ratcliffe seemed pretty unconvinced of any incoming Biden administration. So whatever it may mean at the end of the day who knows but its an interesting perspective from what is supposed to be an outgoing administration. Who by the way have allegedly told staff not to pack their bags.

      What intrigues (indeed puzzles) me greatly, is if some or all of these claims are provable, then why haven’t they been, in some forum where it would really count? Donald Trump is rapidly running out of time to turn the election around.

      • SoftStarLight December 29, 2020 at 11:35 am #

        Well its likely very complex but then in some ways very simple too. The political class, the oligarchs, the media, big tech, Wall Street, Hollywood, and essentially the entire federal bureaucracy, and basically all areas of power within society totally and unequivocally want Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the White House. They represent a return to the ruling classes’ safe and secure normal. Thus President Trump and anyone at all who supports him is completely censored and all evidence of voter fraud has been completely dismissed outright. That is why the court cases are tossed out without being heard. That is why the legacy media won’t even talk about it. This is not a democratic election. If it were, all parties would be willing to fully vet out all concerns. An honest presidential candidate would not want a huge percentage of the population believing they were elected illegitmately. Have you ever wondered why Joe Biden himself does not ask to see the evidence?

        • Tekapo December 30, 2020 at 12:32 am #

          Fair enough. It would seem to be clear that more of the powers-that-be want Donald Trump out rather than get another term.

          “An honest presidential candidate would not want a huge percentage of the population believing they were elected illegitimately.”

          That is probably as much because Donald Trump has been saying this constantly since 3 November, but I take the point.

          In fact since before the election. I actually thought he made a real tactical mistake to say, “If I lose the election it’s because it was rigged”. To my mind, large numbers of people in the center might have said, “F*ck you – I’m voting against you, it’s not rigged”.

          I thought his other big error was to attack vote-by-mail, whereas the Dems worked it to their advantage.

          “Have you ever wondered why Joe Biden himself does not ask to see the evidence?”

          It’s crossed my mind!

    Here is an historical story that I believe has a worthy lesson.

    I invite your comments.

    On the clear, cold morning of December 29, 1890, on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, three U.S. soldiers tried to wrench a valuable Winchester away from a young Lakota man. He refused to give up his hunting weapon; it was the only thing standing between his family and starvation. As the men struggled, the gun fired into the sky.

    To read the rest..

    In other words, Whites shouldn’t have the right to own guns but Indians and other minorities, should?

    Or is this Jeff Cooper quote more on target:

    “Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.”
    — Jeff Cooper

    Isn’t that glorious? Doesn’t it fulfill Huey Long’s dictum, Every man a king? Course he needs to stay under his own national fig tree. I hate seeing non-Whites at gun shows. A truly normal and healthy instinct.

      Yo-yo:

      Thanks for responding.

      Your quotation is insightful and profound. It describes exactly the position and mindset of gun owners, particularly at a time of lawlessness.

      I have to ask though, did you read the rest of that story?

      If not, you should.

      If so, then I’m not actually surprised at your own words. As usual you start with “In other words…” and set about completely skewing the argument (to your long-expressed personal narrative. Then you just get typically bigoted, which is unworthy of an intellectual such as you.

            It’s an historical tale, but unvarnished. You could still take the 2 minutes required to read it…you read hours 7 hours of ‘The Prophet Anglin’ and the ‘sainted’ Anne Bernhardt (and even deign to print screeds of their deluded prattlings here -TLDR).

    Wuhan!

    https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4695

    No asymptomatic spreading. If you don’t feel sick, you ain’t sick and you can’t make no one else sick. Throw away your masks or better yet throw them at Fauci in some kind of mass ritual with him on stage, or an altar, or in the public square.

    Ten million people tested. Attn Alba.

    The body always has Corona viruses present. If he tested with enough cycles, everyone would test positive. It depends on how many, what kind, your health, etc as to whether you will succumb to them. Perhaps a fresh load of new ones from someone can be particularly challenging if your immune system is run down, but it’s hardly an excuse for ending all normal Human Life on Earth, is it?

    • rocket8 December 29, 2020 at 2:13 am #

      But did you read that BMJ article?

      The findings cannot be extrapolated to countries where outbreaks have not been brought under control successfully, said the authors of the report, which was published in Nature Communications.

            “Not even a flu season”

            And an average flu season would be how many deaths, for a useful comparison?

            Remember to take out the over-65s, under-fives, and all people with comorbidities.

            Still waiting. Hope it will be enlightening when it comes.

            #The Flu Hoax.

            Not that I even think the number of deaths is the point.

            But I’m not impressed by people who keep quoting a nebulous statistic (the number of flu deaths) without saying what it is.

            Here is the real deal. Why are we saying that a flu season is acceptable? It is not!

            It shuts down schools, puts people out of work, hurts small business due to absenteeism, etc.

            The virulence of viruses is increasing, the effect is getting worse with each new virus.

            When exactly should we stop ignoring these tiny killers and learn to destroy them?

            It is no worse than the flu. Really? How do you know? And you are accepting the flu as a norm? Not me.

      Janos

      Do you ever read anything properly before diving in and then sticking my name in there for good measure?

      The researchers said that their findings did not show that the virus couldn’t be passed on by asymptomatic carriers, and they didn’t suggest that their findings were generalisable.

      “They said that strict measures—such as mask wearing, hand washing, social distancing, and lockdown—were successful in reducing the virulence of SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan and that asymptomatic people in Wuhan may have low viral loads. This means that the finding cannot be applied to countries where outbreaks have not been successfully brought under control.”

      The good news is that a lower percentage of people are now dying of it because treatment is gradually getting better. The bad news is that more ICU beds are needed for people getting that more effective treatment than for dead people, who liberate those beds more quickly. Life can be like that. What matters for management is hospital throughput, not the number of deaths, which is a personal issue at the end of the day.

      And it’s worth remembering that you can build all the Nightingale Hospitals you want, but if you don’t have trained staff for them they might as well be warehouses for garden gnomes.

          If you expressed a truth that suited their opponents, it didn’t matter that it was a truth, they called you ‘un allié objectif de la droite’. Proper Stalinist stuff.

          That kind of thinking sickens me. The truth remains the truth regardless of whose side it seems to benefit.

          YOU provided a link. YOU didn’t bother to check what it actually said. So don’t take YOUR laziness and your mauvaise foi out on me.

          “And so much for your “compassion”. Millions WILL die, not due to the virus but rather the lockdown. Global poverty is going to double.”

          Who mentioned compassion? See the person who talked glibly about dead people liberating beds? That was me. All practicalities, no compassion.

          And the person who said she didn’t support lockdowns? That was me too. But then I support people who aren’t so far up themselves that they can’t stick a mask on their face and keep a few feet from other people when it would help to do that. Help as in help avoid lockdowns and help keep people in work.

      Y

      It seems to me that the determiner of whether you get really sick, or not so much or even asymptomatic may depend on how big a dose of visions you get hit with. That may also pertain to testing. We know that the virus invades certain areas in different people. Testing only checks respiratory sources, saliva, or frontal nose or pharynx. Some people only get the crud in their gut.

      Testing is not reliable and is only a guide.

      One comment here for all the hoaxers.

      You are right, this situation with the economy is nearing criticality. Let ‘er rip is not an option as it will shut down the economy by itself.

      So what to do? Open everything up and enforce the distancing laws that have been known since the beginning of this fiasco. The real problem is the refusal of people to respect or understand what this crud is capable of. Stories abound of former hoaxers that have either gotten the crud or had a family member get it renouncing their hoax beliefs.

      Flu has been ignored for a long time. Get your flu shot. But sometimes they miss. We end up with a heavy flu season where schools shut down, 30% of folks end up at home and the economy is severely impacted. That is the flu!

      Now we face the crud! Many times more transmissible and a factor of 2or3 more deadly. And now it seems mutating. Again, what to do?
      Just ignore it like the flu? Stand by for a medical system disaster as California is currently showing us.

      Vaccinate like crazy? What potential unknowns exist here? Who should take the risks of side effects or long term effects? Maybe folks who have substantial risks from the disease, health care workers and caretakers and older folks. Certainly not AOC.

      We need to kill viruses, to cure folks who get it. That is the ultimate answer. And where trillions of dollars should be spent, not in Pakistan.

      And that includes rhinoviruses and influenza viruses as well as Corona viruses.

          GA, your argument is specious. the vaccine as “proximate cause” of death can be scientifically and chemically proven. Timing is also a critical factor.

          A hodge podge stew of verified co-morbidity factors with a likely bogus positive covid test result thrown in results in far less certainty as to cause of death. Though I’m not ruling the Covid out entirely in all such cases.

          Nothing is certain in life, but your argument is premised on slim possibilities and probabilities being equivalent. Such sophistries are often used to confuse the simple

          • GreenAlba December 30, 2020 at 1:47 pm #

            hm

            Talking of sophistries, I have read the car accident trope a whole lot of times on this very website. How many people actually died in car accidents within 28 days of a positive Covid test, and were actually recorded on a death certificate as having died of Covid even if they broke their neck and crushed every vital organ in the accident? And the coroner said ‘yeah, fine’.

            And how many people died 29 days or more after a positive Covid test of the sequelae of Covid, but weren’t recorded as dying of Covid because they didn’t die within 28 days?

            I’d suggest the latter probably happened more often than the former, but that’s just me. Maybe people are being knocked down right, left and centre over your way.

            And don’t forget it was our very own neurodoc who pointed out the huge number of false negatives. Those equate to how many Covid deaths that weren’t counted as such?

            “Timing is also a critical factor.”

            That’s why I mentioned the Covid victims who will never be counted as Covid victims.

            None of it means I support lockdowns or people’s businesses going under.

          • GreenAlba December 30, 2020 at 1:50 pm #

            Over this way, the 28-day thing is used by the Public Health authorities. The Office of National Statistics does it more accurately, with some delay, using the actual data on the death certificate.

            And I’ve yet to meet a doctor willing to risk losing his licence to practice by writing rubbish on a death certificate about road traffic victims dying of Covid.

      The real question here is why anyone would consider this a surprising result, evidence of a Covid hoax, or, sarcastically, a “miracle”. Like it or not, a majority of people in the US are taking the precautions of mask wearing, social distancing, washing hands often and disinfecting surfaces. Is there some reason to think that these measures would not be effective against the spread of flu, or, for that matter, any disease spread by droplets or on surfaces?

      Another fact is that the CDC has already attributed more than 50k deaths to flu/pneumonia (separate from Covid deaths) so far this year. Here is the data source for that:
      https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Weekly-Counts-of-Deaths-by-State-and-Select-Causes/muzy-jte6

      That same data source shows that over the first 50 weeks of 2020 there have been 334,654 more deaths than over the same period of 2019. We’ve still got 2 weeks to go and there is a data lag. 2018 was the worst flu season in 40 years and accounted for approximately 80k deaths. So, even if every single death that should have been attributed to flu was instead attributed to Covid, you’ve still got a minimum of about 250k excess deaths to explain.

    • Soul Forensics December 29, 2020 at 7:34 pm #

      I enjoy your dystopian narratives, BRH.

      I believe there’s still enough fight in the U.S. population, though, to stick it to the invading imperialists.

      I like to make associations with my glorious forebears, the Finns.

      In 1808 and 1944, Finland fought ferociously against the Russians, and would’ve decimated them were their numbers anywhere near equivalent. In the 1808 war, the Russians were aided, in the lead-up, by their ‘gentler’ rulers of 300 years, the elitist Swedes, who caved to Russification by wearing Russian clothes, acting out Russian customs, and taking on a Russian diet. They were the university and media elites of today, polishing the big Bear’s knob in public all day long.

      China’s infinitely more organized and savvy than 19th and 20th century Russia/USSR, but are they any braver?

      The Finns, always tightly-knit, were further encouraged in the 1830-1850 period by a wave of European nationalism. Maybe this period in the U.S. is 1830 Europe.

      • hmuller December 29, 2020 at 9:31 pm #

        Love the Finns, who have a very complicated and unique language. No one quite knows where they came from. Atlantis?

          Possibly Hungary. Or even Mongolia.

            And how about those Lapps, domesticating and herding reindeer. Unmarried Lapp girls neuter the young male reindeer by biting off their testicles. That and the rarity of bathing pretty much excludes them from the A-list of mail order brides.

      In reality a vaccine is worthless in this case. But a people pleaser is going to do what the crowd wants and the crowd demands medicine. But to his credit it is true that vaccine development is a super slow process and in this case the vaccine rollouts were super fast. To me that is actually terrifying but again, if you are thinking speed then he did well. If you were truly concerned about the alleged pandemic then you would be in a better mood at this point so it appears something else is going on.

    A BLAST FROM THE PAST:

    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–

    That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —

    That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

    Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

    But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

        • SoftStarLight December 29, 2020 at 1:18 pm #

          Well I don’t know for certain why Russia does what it does. But. Being that Russia isn’t exactly our friend I would imagine you need to take everything they say with a grain of salt. I am very very skeptical of everything covid just because look at the mountains of conflicting information and data out there. And health officials have openly stated they have made mistakes on responses every step of the way. So I simply question the efficacy of the masks and vaccines. All of which are legitimately questionable.

          • rocket8 December 29, 2020 at 2:15 pm #

            Because when this shit show started in March/April 2020 they cleared out the hospitals to make room for the flood of patients. And nothing happened. A trickle here or there.

            The network news (I think NBC) showed a busy ICU in NY City that turned out to be stock film footage from Italy. Lies and fictions. But by all means believe them, little man!

            After four days of thumping around and cussing my wife forced me to go in for what appeared to be a fractured ankle yesterday.

            Urgent care total time yesterday a little over 2.5 hours@10:00am.

            There were exactly three beds being used.
            Bright note I get to hobble around with a brace/boot for the next month not a busted ankle.
            There were around thirty open beds so not sure where this massive problem is but it is not here in sunny southern California.
            Bad news no Vicodin just ibuprofen.
            Good news I can’t go for a jog which is how I blew my ankle out.
            Bad news I need to go for a jog cause I ate like a pig the last week.
            Makers mark, Cayenne pepper and brown sugar carrots!
            Whiskey brown sugar basted ham with Emeril’s essence added!
            Potato, cheese and sour cream casserole.
            Hawaiian sweet rolls!
            Home made cheese cake with blueberries on top.
            A bunch of Captain Morgan on ice Canada dry new Bold ginger ale with a lime twist! Delicious!!!!!

            I talked to the two nurses and doctor about the current epidemic and they all said the hospital right now is well positioned to handle most things that come at them bed space wise.
            Staffing is where they are hurting most of them are working double shifts.

      230,000 is really not a very large number. Some years go up, some years go down. Usually it goes up because the population goes up, therefore more are available to die.

      Not sure if you’re aware, but death happens, always. It’s always been a tragedy.

      Expecting politicians and doctors to create a world of life without risk is the stupidest contribution our current brainless generations have come up with. Mitigate risk, sure. Eliminate it? Impossible.

    “Problematical, also, is the likelihood — in the event that he actually does concede and agree to exit the scene — that Mr. Trump will transition into post-presidential life with a bale of secret knowledge so huge, reeking, and damaging to his enemies, gathered over four years of access to the nation’s intel files, that not a congressman, senator, or high-up bureaucratic lifer will be left standing as the information dribbles out…”

    Dribbles out. Precisely.

    When the state controls the media.
    (Vice versa most likely)

    And what of the Ukrainian investigation into Biden & Co.?
    It is not being reported by the MSM.
    2 birds killed there:
    -It’s not a story
    -It’s internet fringe conspiracy
    How convenient. How accepted.

    The issue going forward is not so much the graft, corruption, criminal behaviors, and the cover-ups, but the ignorance.

    A population already disinclined to parse truth from the propaganda, disinformation, and psy-ops bombarding them at a constant rate from all the electronic screens they have become slaves to, is simply devoid of the initiative needed to both “hunger” for, and be open to, the truth.

    There is no platform for truth.
    It has been yanked out from below. The house of cards is indeed falling, but not immediately.

    When and if Trump dribbles it will get no traction with those that need to hear it. Those presently under the sway of the infotainment, social, and manufactured consent media.

    It will be avoided. Ignored. Like the laptop.
    It will be dismissed as Russian disinfo
    It will be fringe thought and crimethink of the unperson

    • SoftStarLight December 29, 2020 at 1:08 pm #

      Yes, I agree. If Trump does concede and exit the scene it seems like the powers that be will only consolidate their power and ensure an outsider can never get to the levers of power ever again. If he does “do something”, its seems like its going to have to be extraordinary and total.

        Yes, the two Georgia Republican candidates are deep state horrors. Electing them will stop us from going over the cliff at 90 mph. They prefer a staid 35.

        Only radical change can save America as we know it. And that must come within the next month I’m afraid. I don’t trust the Swamp to clean up elections. An thus Trump coming back leading the Constitution Party in 2024 is a non-starter I’m afraid.

    Sydney Powell on with Todd Herman in for Rush: The accusation against General Flynn that he was a Russian agent was the worst abuse of power I have ever witnessed.

    She also talked about the Steal. She brought up that many people up watching late at night had witness the board change with Trump votes disappearing and going over to Biden. Some people made screen shots of this. One guy used the NYT’s data to confirm this. I was going to post the article a few weeks ago but it disappeared.

    Sydney: No Judge anywhere has looked at our evidence or really even looked at our affadavits.

    Not all of these Judges are “traitors” per se. They are loyal to the new System that was created quietly without anyone noticing. As the guy who burned himself alive said, “the second set of books”. They didn’t know they had switched their allegiance. Their loyalty grew in the dark along with the new system. Human frailty being manipulated by Masters of Darkness.

    One would expect more from the Supreme Court but alas, even “conservatives” have rotted. They will be loyal to the New Regime if Trump succeeds. They know which side their bread is buttered on at least. But as a warning, all but Alito and Thomas will have to go back to private life.

      Excellent analysis!

      The cause for the Deep State is preservation of the status quo. Preservation of their jobs!

      Look at the past four years. Typical action by the Deep State.

      They do nothing. They spend money on themselves ad Infinitum and they do nothing. Their approval rating is less than 20%. Trump tried to put pressure on them and failed. They continue to do nothing.

      A House member spends a year getting elected and spends lots of money. He/she sits in session and most do nothing. They just go back and forth, arguing about inconsequential things while doing nothing about the issues that count. They avoid them because then they have to take a real position which jeopardizes votes. Two years of doing nothing, then the process starts all over again. What a crock!

      Why it never changes? Because they control everything! The past four years, if anything, is proof of that statement.

      It IS the Deep State against the people!

        Young folks like you have never been cognizant of the days when the government actually had a purpose in their own mind instead of being solely a jousting field for two idiotic groups.

        Stupidification spreads and intensifies generation to generation and no more indication of that is our federal government.

        Those days were gone when JHK was assassinated and Nixon was ousted politically.

        Nixon was called a crook by covering up the actions of CREEP, look it up.

        Those actions pale in comparison to the BS the Dems just pulled off to “win” this election.

        Should Biden be impeached like Nixon? Should he resign because of the corruption he has brought to DC?

        Then we get the Mean mama instead. We are so screwed!

    “Mr. Trump will not be moved to declare that he lost the election — probably for the excellent reason that he really didn’t, if there had been anything like an honest tally of the ballots.”

    Oh brother. Wasn’t it you who loved to remind us that saying something repeatedly didn’t make it true?

    Only parrot i’m inclined to lend much credence to these days is the one who says and says and says and says he wants a cracker. Of course, even in this case, it doesn’t mean there actually is a cracker.

    Deranged former MSM personality has unscripted candid moment about what “unity” & “healing” means to Wokesterfarian class:

    “…But healing can only follow justice. Donald Trump should spend the rest of his life in prison. His grifting sons & daughters should spend the rest of their lives in prison. Disgusting henchmen, from William Barr to Stephen Miller to Steve Bannon should spend the rest of their lives in prison. Those fascist, anti-democracy Trump conspirators attempting right now to overthrow the government of the United States, from Rudy Giuliani to Sidney Powell to House Minority leader McCarthy to the other 125 Republican Representatives, they should spend the rest of their lives in prison.

    Therefore, I call upon President-elect Biden to select as an Attorney General whose first act after the inauguration be to appoint an independent Special Counsel with a full remit to investigate & prosecute anyone & anything connected to the Trump criminal presidency. Period. And Trump first. Then, this country can heal. Not before!” — Keith Olbermann

      That is why with the odds a thousand to one in DC, the city of failures, Trump won most of the time.

      Also why the Left had to cheat to win and why they cannot just let it go.

    More powerful than the president?

    Who will control the passage of every law than makes it through the Congress?

    Not the speaker? Not the Majority leader.

    This man and his two female cohorts will rule the place, and he knows it.

    He will also run for president in 2024, again.

      JAZ, we also know the privileged type of a Romney.

      Born to a senator in a patrician class family. Sent away to the south of France on “mission” for the polygamist cult during the ‘Nam era. How convenient. How privileged.

      A vulture capitalist.
      A vulture pragmatist.

      He needs to be everything to everyone.
      Just like Trump, he is accustomed to getting what he wants.

      Where Trump is direct, Romney veils his predations with tact and diplomacy. Manipulative. Cunning. He tries to keep his ulterior motives concealed. Yet they’re there.

      He did not expect Trump to be a barrier to his path after Hillary. That delays what is his.

      A second term of Trump is unacceptable. It would surely mean another Democrat after Trump, as their game goes, and that would age him out.

      Nah, he wants it in 4.

      Make no mistake about the very real privilege this charlatan commands.

      Make no mistake about the centrist role he tries to embrace.

      I’m convinced that Mittens threw the race against Obama as part of some backroom deal (“it ain’t your night, kid…”) and that Trump was a giant wrench in the works. Romney’s monomaniacal hatred for Trump is even more than Rachel Maddow’s.

            Tate – you’re right.

            I checked back on the statements and he didn’t say ‘ We’re not alleging voter fraud.”at all.

            He said “ We’re not alleging fraud” – there was no qualification after all.

            I must have had that ‘voter’ bit inserted into my memory from watching too much CNN. Or OAMN . Or Newsmax. We can all access ALL Media g to hear days. I watch shot on Fox, OAN & Newsmax – probably no less than I watch CNN, MSNBC et al.

            I just don’t buy the bullshit you guys have digested. Trumpism we can now see is a virus. We’ve always had mammalian viruses and it wasn’t long after the first email was sent that the age of the computer virus arrived. Now we have algorithms “in the wild”.

            The current manifestation of this AI advance is right now. Trump’s cult following, its pure obstinacy in the face of objective reality is astounding and may well be the first coming together of the mammalian & the electronic.

    In Chicago, forget about the 715 murders so far in 2020, there were over 1200 armed carjackings.

    Granted, some of the murders were committed during carjackings.

    In Ct, the year 2020 is ending with a bang. No, literally, in the past few days there have been a sh#tload of shootings. I don’t know what it is about the holiday season that inspires such gunfire in our urban areas. I mentioned the lit up Acura in Hartford with a body inside on Christmas eve; phew, I’ll say it was a fire, flames were shooting up 40 ft. Who knew Acuras were that flammable? Nevertheless, police were able to identify the guy inside (burnt to a crisp, also filled with bullets): an illegal alien who lived in Chicopee. Needless to say his stay in America didn’t work out to good. Smoking barrels, hot lead, and running shootouts are expected to continue thru New Year’s weekend, actually probably beyond that, most likely into next year and for all time.

    Out here, Libs are in a tough spot. Their cars are being stolen from driveways and in some cases from garages. Nice cars too, last night a Range Rover and a BMW. Both vehicles were recovered in Hartford today. Its odd, many of these car thefts are caught on video, and some people in town object to the video being shown on the local news. It seems facts themselves are racist, and truth is unsayable.

      ATTENTION PLEASE FELLOW CFN pals, I have worked frontline hospital for 40 years, currently I am in the emergency department. I along with a couple hundred of our frontline staff, docs, rns, lpns, techs, aides, cleaners, transport, etc have gotten the moderna vaccine, me 6 days ago, me nothing, others mild arm pain. I asked our infectious disease doctor who is a very out spoken man, and he cannot find this 80%. SO PLEASE I was also volunteer ems/fire as well.

      PLEASE listen to evidence based presentation NOT Political or religious. The Skeptical Inquirer, Quackwatch.com Dr. zdogg on YouTube or Facebook.

        If you followed mother nature, you wouldn’t get the vaccine. You seem conflicted, roc.

        • FreddieMars January 1, 2021 at 2:55 am #

          If “following nature” meant not taking the polio vaccine or the TB vaccine, you may not be here to be able to make such a pig-ignorant statement.

          You’re one of the few that I can’t recall revealing your age – generally or exactly – so I’m just speculating you were born not long before these global health miracles were achieved. And you definitely & personally benefited from their implementation.

      They are using us as guinea pigs or worse, they know what they want to achieve and they don’t care about what it costs us.

      Rocco don’t go in for the second. Mr Alba, don’t even get the first.

      • GreenAlba December 30, 2020 at 6:13 am #

        Mr Alba, is pushing 67 and is still working with patients. Although he’s not overweight, to my knowledge, he’s diabetic and has hypertension. He would be well advised not to get the lurgi. That would be his own informed advice to himself too.

        He’s an adult and will make his own decision. Like I said, you should stop trying to micromanage other people’s lives to fit your narrative. Knowledge is power, and he has more knowledge than you in these matters. He knows he’s got a seafood allergy, so he’ll know to mention that when he gets his vaccination, although I’m rather hoping (since it seems impossible to get a vaccination at the moment, for him and his colleagues anyway) that the Oxford vaccine will be on offer soon (which, you will recall, isn’t an mRNA vaccine).

        I’ve noticed that I seem to be the only person on here who doesn’t talk about ‘the vaccine’ as if there were only one. Obviously I understand why people choose to refer to ‘them’ as ‘it’. Eventually there will be dozens, out of the hundreds currently in development.

        You have to wonder why George and Bill bothered to have more than one made. All part of the theatre, obviously.

        You stick to micromanaging your own life, chum, and make your vaccination decision for yourself and only for yourself.

        • Yohannon December 30, 2020 at 11:26 am #

          Well tell him not to get the Moderna one at least. The second shot (like the second revolution, typically) is the kill shot.

          • GreenAlba December 30, 2020 at 12:28 pm #

            If I had to choose on the basis of the little real information that we have I’d go for the Oxford one*. But I’d only be hazarding a guess.

            The rollout is typically shambolic here. I have an 80-year-old friend in England who’s booked for a vaccination this week I think. But the number my husband and his colleagues have been told to phone doesn’t reply, and apparently there’s no Pfizer vaccine to be had until at least mid-January for them.

            I hope that means they might get the Oxford one, which has just been approved.

            *I’m still curious about the Sputnik one. They started their vaccination programme concurrently with their stage 3 trials, but that doesn’t mean it’s all going to go wrong, just that they took a risk no-one else was willing to take. It would be interesting to know how it’s going.

      • Night Owl December 30, 2020 at 8:02 am #

        Think of the profits to be made with a mandatory vaccine that will be distributed to most of the planet.

            Most coral fish do not stray far from their coral homes.
            They eat breed and live in small areas because well they don’t want to get eaten.
            My guess is all the types of fish he is talking about fall into this group and are damn happy about a long hunger free life without the worry of being eaten as a side benefit.

          • GreenAlba December 30, 2020 at 11:40 am #

            “Most coral fish do not stray far from their coral homes.”

            And most of their coral homes don’t stray at all unless they’re harvested for wealthy people to stick in a pretend sea in their livingroom.

            And most people who buy bits of nature that are already under stress don’t then tell you repeatedly that they’re a card-carrying member of the Green Party.

            Allow me my amusement at the cognitive dissonance.

          • Night Owl December 30, 2020 at 2:10 pm #

            I think you are missing the point, actually.

          • Night Owl December 30, 2020 at 2:20 pm #

            Benr, you are right with regard to many species. But more importantly, many commonly kept reef fish are bred in capitvity.

            Those that aren’t are common and living what could arguably be said to be a safer life in a properly cared for tank.

            The rare species that are wild-caught are prohibitively expensive, and not commonly held by aquarists. Those that do have them typically have massive tanks and are as knowledgable as any Zoo operation.

            Anyways, my lights arrive tomorrow. I am pumped.

          • GreenAlba December 31, 2020 at 9:31 am #

            “I think you are missing the point, actually.”

            How delightfully vague. Easier than admitting you didn’t even think about the harvesting of already-stressed coral reef for your livingroom.

            I think aquaria look beautiful. I expect yours will be amazing, given that you keep telling us you can afford the best of everything. Watching beautiful fish swimming around is lovely, and intensely relaxing.

            I just think that, along with your habit of showing off about your very expensive material possessions and your very expensive car (not owning them, showing off about them and taunting other commenters that they couldn’t afford them) makes your alleged Green Party credentials a total joke.

            But there are lots of people like you in the modern world. Some of them will lecture you about recycling packaging as they jet off to an environmentally friendly holiday in Costa Rica.

            It’s just that you said you were ‘straight as an arrow’, so you’ve set the benchmark quite high.

          • Night Owl January 1, 2021 at 6:52 am #

            The point being that everything in life comes with some compromise.

            That said, I will specifically purchase only fish that have been caught in the wild, and I shall feed them only with frozen foods flown in from Indonesia. My live rock was also harvested in a particulary destructive manner, involving heavy machinery.

            When out and about in my personal luxury conveyance and prole-flattener (the 475 hp Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG), I also make it a point to floor said AMG product wherever possible, particularly when there are cyclists behind me. I love watching them struggle to breathe — even more so when they are donning facemasks to protect themselves against The Virus.

            I apologize for the Albian-like length of this post, and the fact that typing it required my computer to remain on for longer than normally necessary, consuming a few extra watts of yet-to-be-green-sourced energy, but oh well.

I saw it earlier today (or yesterday at this point) and was thinking to post about it because it’s Rasmussen which seems to be a big deal from the PR perspective and all. Trump is the most admired man in America now too according to Gallup. So will he be able to translate the PR wins into an election reversal the public will broadly support? It is looking better by the day despite the media drear and depressants. They wouldn’t be working so hard if they were comfortable. And then DJT keeps tweeting to stay tuned for more big fraud evidence drops so it’s getting really interesting. This controversy is fun. Just think about how friggin boring it would be without Trump around. The Elite like it when its boring in Washington because that means they are getting their way.

    ” I hope this prick never has another day of peace in his miserable life. ”

    Why ?

    When , after all , presumably you won ?

    My guess is that one of the things that got him elected in the first place is that you folks are by no stretch of the imagination gracious winners.

    Also , if you really want to get rid of him , then the smart play is to make retirement as enticing as possible.

    Quite possibly the reason Caesar crossed the Rubicon and destroyed the Roman Republic was because his options were otherwise pretty bleak.

    Best case scenario ; permanent banishment from the civilized world , which at the time happened to be the only civilized world , unless you wanted to travel to China.

    Worst case scenario , but not unlikely ; Death.

    So Caesar’s decision to go postal was quite rational .

    The idiots , you could argue , were the folks who backed him into that kind of corner.

      “Also , if you really want to get rid of him , then the smart play is to make retirement as enticing as possible.”

      I agree with this … if Biden is strategic – and Trump is looking for his least worst outcome – they would do a deal, where Trump publicly recognises Joe Biden as the legitimate president, in return for which Biden goes very softly on any investigations, indictments, and charges.

      OTOH, if Trump maintains the rage, keeps calling the election a steal, and Biden an illegitimate crook – then you would expect all the forces available via the DOJ and everything else would come after Donald Trump and his entire family.

      If I were Trump I would cut and run, and play a lot more golf at West Palm Beach … but it will depend on whether he believes 2024 s a realistic goal (I don’t think it is – too old, too much baggage), and also the degree to which he pardons his family, his inner orbit, and possibly himself.

      But I repeat, if I were Biden I would cut a deal with Trump to get clear air – and just weather the outrage from the leftie arms of the Democratic Party.

    • SoftStarLight December 30, 2020 at 4:21 am #

      Do we know what percentage of the Roman population supported Caesar when he decided to get rid of the Republic? Did he have 75 million + supporters? I agree too that the Biden camp should make concessions if they wish for a semi normal outcome to all of this. But their total and complete out of hand dismissal of all election related concerns seems to indicate no such thing will occur. TBH, I don’t think conciliatory behavior falls within their predatory reptilian nature. But. They are less than one percent of the population. Ultimately a supermajority of the electorate want the America First agenda.

    The short term purpose of the vaccine is so that you can get your covid passport stamped. Longer term? Maybe they’re experimenting with us, working up to major transformations of human nature. But getting everyone to submit to being a guinea pig and to being locked down, isn’t that enough for now from their pov?

    What about your pov? If you willingly submit to this, you don’t have one. You are just “organization man”. A cipher. A factotum. Homo Nothingburger.

    • GreenAlba December 30, 2020 at 2:02 pm #

      If it is proven that the vaccine only protects the vaccinated person and does not prevent them from transmitting the virus to someone else, all justification for the refusal to take unvaccinated people on planes or allow them to go to work, sports venues or anywhere else falls apart.

      What would be the point of a vaccine passport if your vaccination doesn’t protect anyone else? That wouldn’t stand up five minutes in a court of law.

      • Yohannon December 30, 2020 at 4:58 pm #

        Really? Coercion. Because they know what’s best for us? No, because brutality is an end itself as O’Brien said to Winston.

        We’ve known for months that asymptomatic spreading isn’t real, but did it change anything? And since the Elite don’t want to know, you don’t want to know either – or believe it when it is told to you.

        You – like most – need to feel that the People in charge know what they’re doing and care at least a little bit. I sympathize but it’s obvious to me that they hate us and know what they are doing in order to destroy us – all with plausible deniability.

        You made a good point but it will be ignored much as you ignore the above and how it obviates the need to wear a mask.

        • GreenAlba December 30, 2020 at 7:10 pm #

          “Really? Coercion.”

          I still don’t believe it would stand up in a court of law. It would only take one challenge. The entire point of a vaccination passport is to assure other travellers that they can travel without YOU infecting them and that people in your destination country or city will also be safe from YOU. There is no other point.

          Asymptomatic spread is entirely real. Otherwise the whole thing could have been shut down as quickly as SARS-CoV-1 was, since it was only spread symptomatically.

          Six cancer patients died recently in the same week in my local hospital following a Covid outbreak in their ward. Are you suggesting symptomatic staff went to work anyway and killed them? Seriously, have a word with yourself.

          • GreenAlba December 30, 2020 at 7:19 pm #

            Regarding masks, if the vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission, wearing a mask and distancing still makes sense to protect other people.

            However, that’s just for now. Once everyone has had the opportunity to be vaccinated, even if many don’t take it up, the rationale for wearing masks disappears, since anyone potentially helped by other people wearing a mask can make the choice to get vaccinated themselves or simply not care. Ergo, end of the need for mask-wearing in the community.

          • Yohannon December 30, 2020 at 7:56 pm #

            You’re being logical – and you assume they are as well. But they (the politicians and Gates cult) are lying. The scientists say there is no asymptomatic transmission. Why would they lie? Because helping us isn’t their goal. Domination and death are.

            Germany is fighting harder than anyone. This brilliant Member of Parliament has come to the same conclusion as I have: our Governments are simply no longer valid, except perhaps a few places like Poland or Hungary.

            “The scientists say there is no asymptomatic transmission. ”

            They’re not saying that at all. They know there is asymptomatic transmission – the percentage has been revised back since the early days but it happens. Otherwise we’d have put a lid on the whole thing within a couple of months.

            You really think a symptomatic doctor or nurse deliberately went into a cancer unit, knowing they were infectious to their seriously ill cancer patients, and killed them?

            Whoever infected them was almost certainly asymptomatic/presymptomatic. They may even have had a false negative test.

          • GreenAlba December 31, 2020 at 6:15 am #

            It remains difficult to establish just how much asymptomatic spread there is.

        I looked up the history of the polio vaccine, and learned the first effective drug (Salk’s) was put out for general consumption (1955) just two years before I was born. My parents had both lost friends & family in an epidemic in 1947-48.

        From its discovery to the declaration that polio was eliminated in Europe was 64 years – 1955 to 2002. As well, the history’s jam-packed with progress through innovation and challenges.

        These COVID vaccines are so novel anyone with a pulse can see this is going to take a long time to ‘conquer’ ( as if that were possible). There’s no doubt the mutation factor that may not have been an issue with polio, but it’s an auspicious start.

      Hah you proved his point! That’s just it. Without a very open and transparent process everyone will have their own tally. There has to be a full and open audit of all legal votes to know what the real tally is and to date that his not been done. But many mathmeticians and statisticians say Joe Biden did not win among the legal votes that were cast. He actually underperformed Hillary Clinton’s 2016 numbers everywhere with the exceptions of Philly, Detroit, Milwaukee and Atlanta. And in those metros there were numerous irregularities including in the middle of the night dumping of hundreds of thousands of Biden only ballots. Not to mention the fact that voting machines have been found to have switched votes from Trump to Biden.

        If this corruption is as deep and well planned as I think it was, a Trump success would put half the Deep State structure in jail. If he were retained as president and lame duck, he would make his first priority the elimination of Deep State scum.

        By now, anything that could be a threat is either intimidated, dead or at the bottom of the Atlantic.

        I wish that folks could see what a super “conspiracy” this has been and quit denying it. They are giving away the integrity of the country to a group of thugs.

          Go deeper. Who determined what was to be taught? The elite Universities (private). And who controlled them? The Alumni – the rich Alumni. What they did, the public Universities copied. And no politician gets in, and hasn’t for a long time, without their financial aid. Remember John, we live in a Plutocracy and Communism is only part of the System, the tails or “for us” side.

          The Elite think it the epitome of commonsense and virtue to make common cause with the Chinese Elite. But are they really the same? Have the Chinese Elite spat on their own People, Nation, and Tradition? If not, our Elite may be in for a very rude awakening.

        Covid in a huge percentage of people leads to “Covid pneumonia” which likely leads to pneumonia being on the cause of death order from a physician.

      You are as bad as the hoaxers. One statistic and the situation is decided.

      The panic of 2020 is about over. The crud is understood much more that January. It IS a super flu that infects and kills a factor of 2-3 more than a typical flu year. But that is it!

      The Deep State and its Great Reset have manipulated this crud just as much as the election. How the hell can we justify shutting down the small business service sector? Unless you want to!

      So hoaxers and alarmists, what to do?

      Hopefully, the vaccine will eliminate the debate. However, much of this year’s panic might have been avoided by the simple mitigation procedures and the government would not have taken over the situation. Who is at fault here? Both sides own mirrors.

        No, but if 350,000 dies of FOP and hundreds of thousands of others had long term complications from FOP and many hospitals were at capacity with FOP patients then that becomes a different problem. The 41 year old, with no co-morbidities, merely proves that it doesn’t only kill the old and feeble (not that that would be OK).

    Closer to home, in New Britain, Ct, the City Council voted to remove the century old Columbus statue at Columbus Square. New Britain was at one time a solid working class town with a strong Italian Community. It appears demographics have changed a bit.

Fauci was right in early 2020, flatten the curve until the vaccine is out.

It is a serious situation but not the world ending crisis the Left wants it to be to fire off the Great reset.

    Daily Mail

    WHO says that coronavirus vaccines may not even prevent the spread and that vaccinated people need to take the same “precautions” everyone’s been forced to take since the start of the pandemic.

    Being vaccinated against the virus did not mean an end to social distancing and other public health measures, chief scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan told the briefing on Tuesday.

    ‘I don’t believe we have the evidence on any of the vaccines to be confident that it’s going to prevent people from actually getting the infection and therefore being able to pass it on.

    ‘So I think we need to assume that people who have been vaccinated also need to take the same precautions,’ Swaminathan said, adding that the vaccine is intended to prevent symptomatic disease as well as severe cases of infection and deaths.

    Anglin: What this means, in practice, is that nothing is ever really going to go back to normal.

    The normal we knew is gone — it was dead the moment the government realized people wouldn’t resist being abused if the abuse was said be for their own good.

    Yoho: The article also said that this wasn’t the Big One, but just a wake up call. Thank God for Covid in other words. It’s getting us ready for “the Big One”.

    This is a blitzkrieg or Lightning War against humanity. They say it’ll be over in 2030, with Humanity utterly subdued and broken, scarcely human anymore, just rats in a lab.

      We are giving the Deep State license to overwhelm us with every surge that happens. All three surges were triggered by public complacency and ended when enough folks put their damned masks back on and separated.

      You got a better way to handle surges, please put it forward. Ignoring surges is catastrophic, as California is demonstrating now. They may be at the point of no return now where the virus is everywhere and cannot be avoided.

    Amazingly good article to find on yahoo. Girl got her learning permit or something, and posted, “I can drive, nigger”. Black Culture has come to completely dominate pop culture. Or it all but is pop culture now. But Whites as second class citizens aren’t allowed to say the magic word.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/vindictive-classmate-cowardly-university-ruined-113026876.html

    A half Black classmate saw it and bided his time, waiting for the right time. When the girl tweeted about Blacks being killed and how you have to do something to help BLM, he shot his poisoned arrow. It went viral and the University retracted their offer of admission.

    To be fair, at least one Black friend stood up for her, saying to the boy, You’re supposed to educate people not destroy them in order to feel empowered. But the boy is unmoved and is quite proud of himself. He has good fame and his victim is now infamous – and that’s all that matters and what he intended.

      With this logic we’ll soon find that it’s not possible for an orc to be arrested, jailed, tried or imprisoned by any whites or in accordance with “duh white man’s law.”

      The law, and indeed anything having to do with civilization, will be inapplicable to duh brothas and sistas. We already saw that during this year’s riots and looting in which so many Soros DAs dropped all charges against the perps and let them go free.

    “A huge question, what has motivated this country to throw its birthright in the trash.”

    The decision to make everyone in the workforce a contractor and either a sub chapter corporation or an LLC. Then the Mighty Wurlitzer played the grand opus of “corporations are only responsible to creating profit for the shareholder”. Alan Greenspan redefined greed in a single speech and without any hitch in the get-a-long or mention that a rhetorical slight of hand was being employed our nation joyously embraced “Greed is Good”.

    No matter which side of the Orange Line of Demarcation a person stands they should find a picture of Patty Hearst, look as closely at the image as possible, and imagine they are looking into a mirror.

    The current edifice was built by hand and among the tools used were:
    Might Makes Right
    My Country Right or Wrong
    America – Love It Or Leave It

    and like Janos most have tethered themselves to a stake to make their last stand oblivious to the archer mocking them beyond arm’s reach.

    January 1961 Mr. Eisenhower, the only human being alive at that moment who could have spoken his words and lived, described the greatest danger to our nation. The military industrial complex is the Deep State.

    Here is a clue: There is NO NEED for a distribution manager when there is nothing to distribute. There is NO NEED for middle management when there is no production to manage.

    Look at the balance sheets of all NATO and Pacific Bloc banking systems and then look at the governments of the same. The system has collapsed and the spoils have already been taken. We are the hostages not Russia not China.

    “Swiss Patient Dies Shortly After Receiving Pfizer COVID Vaccine”

    After an Israeli man reportedly died just 2 hours after receiving his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, authorities in the Swiss Canton of Lucerne said on Wednesday that one of the first people in the country to receive the vaccine has died, though whether his death had anything to do with the inoculation hasn’t yet been determined.

    • Yohannon December 30, 2020 at 12:50 pm #

      One rationale for the elderly NOT getting the vaccine first is that the elderly die a lot and people would associate the vaccine with their death. Nothing matters more than the vaccine – certainly not human life.

    I think we are about to see how the country functions with “Women and Minorities” running the show. Their track record is not good if you look at conditions in Latin America and Africa, and where women are concerned, Germany and Sweden. But who knows, maybe it will go ok. We shall see.

    Looks like some kind of shooting war is brewing with Iran. I hope Joe is up to it. If China backs Iran Beijing Biden will find himself in a tough spot. CNN says Biden has the reflexes of a 30 year old man and at 78 is “sharp as a tack”. But Iran might just see Biden as a weakling, easily cowed. We’ll find out what Biden is made of pretty quick I think.

    And there’s this. Natgas pipelines leading into Aspen have been vandalized in an apparent act of eco-terrorism, leaving residents without heat, freezing in 5°F temps. Earth first is suspect, and this follows the train carrying petroleum north of Seattle derailed last week.

      Many years ago the Rand corporation suggested the US should seek a war with a country that can actually fight back.

    IN STARKNESS UNASSIMILABLE

    Trying to swallow the stark reality of Biden’s win, along with the almost unimaginable but fair chance of a Harris presidency is like that python trying to swallow the deer. Many people just can’t seem to take it in, let alone digest the fact.

    While it’s obvious that Trump is not black like George Floyd, the Democrats have had a knee on Trump’s neck for about two million minutes as compared to George’s nine. Of course Trump didn’t die, but I’m sure that many perpetraitors hoped that the continuing coup would croak the clown.

    After four years of Trump being mercilessly mugged and mauled, and the George Floyd riots showing the public that hate for a president and ‘old America’ can come right through their front doors, one would have thought that the law and order president would be carried back into the White House on a golden, bejeweled palanquin.

    The numbers are befuddling. Trump certainly lost votes because of the virus, but it seems to me that those votes would have been more than offset by votes gained because of the devious and destructive behavior of the Democrats. But who really knows the numbers? Could the number of TWATs (Trump weary and tired) added to the number of CUNTs (certifiably unhinged never Trumpers) really be that great, far surpassing the number of POPPs (pissed off, patriotic people)?

    Could the Obama coattails have dragged in that many votes? People have grown fond of zombies, so maybe that helped.

    Biden getting 81,000,000 million votes is in itself surprising, and getting 7,000,000 more than Trump is even more so, thus fraud is more than a reasonable suspicion.

    But what if the fraud was minor and inconsequential, and Biden actually won? Hence the stark, unassimilable reality. A venerable, once great nation now fractured by the cancel culture of wokeness with old fashioned patriots in the minority, or a government forged in fraud and soon to be feted. Chew on that, swallow that if you can, but it’s all indigestible and unassimilable.

    5 Great Lessons Learned in 2020
    December 28th, 2020 | by Gunner Steele

    Well this is going to be my final blog entry for 2020. I don’t need to reiterate for anyone what a crazy year it has been. For now, I just want to highlight very quickly what I believe the 5 GREAT LESSONS of 2020 have been. Obviously, there are tons of lessons for everyone to learn and consider, but below I will list what I believe to be the 5 greatest or most important lessons in the context of politics, government, and faith:

    1. There is No Lie So Great or Implausible that the Mainstream Propaganda Machine Cannot Successfully Propagate
    We have chronicled, at great lengths, the SCAM that is, was, and will continue to be, the “pandemic” of COVID-19. But no matter how much information was freely available to all of mankind to see exactly how they were being scammed, the mainstream propaganda machine succeeded in mentally terrorizing the majority of the population to such a great extent, that they simply accepted and believed the mainstream narrative.

    This demonstrates that an ignorant population can, shall, and will always be controlled by propaganda. Only informed, intelligent, and faithful citizens who possess the ability to think critically and form logical conclusions can escape such treachery.

    And government schools (aka public education) exist to ensure that the masses will never be able to think critically, form logical conclusions, or attain real intelligence.

    SUGGESTED ACTION: take your kids out of public school and never submit to government run or government subsidized education ever again.

    2. RINO Republicans are Probably a Greater Threat to the Constitution than Democrats
    There are currently 26 Republican Governors and 24 Democrat Governors in America. All 24 Democrat Governors issued lockdown orders while 19 of the 26 Republican Governors issued lockdown orders as can be seen in the graphic below:

    This means that 73% of Republican Governors were complicit in destroying the Constitution, violating peoples’ rights, and illegally oppressing their citizens.

    Every state in the country has stories and examples of outrageous corruption, oppression, and violation of civil rights against its citizens by Republicans at every level: local, county-wide, and statewide.

    Furthermore, Republican Congressmen have been complicit in extending Federal powers, expanding bureaucracies, and voting to inflate our national debt—all while protecting their cronies and corrupt big business partners who finance them. Yes, nearly all of them voted for billions of dollars of pork and foreign aid (including $10 million for “gender studies” in Pakistan), all while slapping Americans in the face with a $600 handout to its citizens. These are supposed to be “conservative” Republicans.

    The problem is that ignorant “conservative” voters continue to vote for them and allow them to keep their power and control all the while they do nothing that the Republican party claims to stand for in their own written party platform.

    At least the Democrats are honest about wanting socialism and about their disdain for the Constitution. The Republicans lie about it, and their ignorant constitutents continue to support them, therefore making them even more dangerous than their Democrat counterparts.

    SUGGESTED ACTION: Stop voting for Republicans just because they are Republicans. Challenge your representatives at all levels and make a vow to never support Republicans who support expanded government, who support mask mandates, lockdowns, or who permit violations of Constitutional rights. This unfortunately means you will oppose those who you have voted for in the past and even those you thought were your “friends.”

    3. Traditional Doctors and American Hospitals are Killing Machines that Should Never Be Trusted
    Doctors, and the corrupt hospital institutions they work for, have been one of the greatest cause of death in America during the so-called “COVID crisis” or pandemic.

    Their corruption knows no bounds as they have been complicit in harming and even knowingly killing their patients through well-known faulty protocols.

    They have broken their hippocratic oath and have broken every moral code by falsifying information used for the public in order to enable mass hysteria and fear including:
    Lying about the cause of death on tens of thousands of death certificates falsely attributing the death of nearly every sickness imaginable (including cancer, heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, and more) to COVID-19.
    Knowingly using inaccurate testing methods (RT-PCR tests) to make it appear as though more people have been infected with COVID-19.
    Falsifying numbers of COVID infected people without having met them, examining them, or administering tests (even faulty ones) to them.
    Using ventilators with bad protocols that are known to kill over 90% of all patients, with reckless abandon, ultimately killing patients who would have otherwise recovered, in order to intensify public hysteria or to receive government subsidies (around $40,000 per patient), or both.
    The bottom line is that if you are so ignorant that you still trust doctors then you deserve the damage that they will bring to your life—both physical and financial.

    SUGGESTED ACTION: Never trust a traditional doctor again and never go to a hospital for anything other than physical trauma (i.e. from a physical accident). Doctors and hospitals should never be used or trusted for health issues like colds, flus, COVID, cancer, etc. Learn to make doctors EARN your trust on an individual level by demonstrating their ability to think critically and by their history of success and not by their blind acceptance of “common practices.”

    4. Health Freedom Will be the Final Battleground
    They’re not coming for your guns and they’re not coming for your faith. Nope! To do either would be to ensure an armed revolt in this country.

    Furthermore, court precedence has shown that legal attacks against gun rights and religious rights have nearly always ruled in favor of those rights.

    However, that same history has shown that violations of human and civil rights based on “health” have always ruled in favor of the violators. Why? Because they say it is in the “best interest” or the “greater good” to do so. Therefore, our government has for years, ruled in favor of FORCED medical procedures, FORCED vaccines, FORCED blood transfusions, and more FORCE in the name of “health.”

    This year showed us that HEALTH is the ultimate and final battleground for our civil rights.

    While they could never walk into a church and shut it down for preaching the gospel, they can simply say, “In order to protect everyone’s health, we can’t let you have church anymore.” And everyone complies. The few who don’t, get arrested, and everyone just accepts it.

    The bottom line is that the final battle for our rights will not be over what you’ve always thought—it will be over whether you are sovereign over your own body. The government thinks they own you and they use the propaganda trick of telling you that their actions are “for your own good” and in order to “protect your health and the health of others.” Those are not only foolish lies, but they are unconstitutional violations of your civil rights.

    SUGGESTED ACTION: Focus your energies on fighting for health freedom at every level. Join and support Health Freedom causes and get informed regarding Health Freedom issues including vaccines, immunity, healthy living, integrative health, and more.

    5. The American Christian Church is Pathetic
    Earlier this year I wrote an article titled, Christians Response to the Coronavirus Pandemic is Shameful, which elicited great response from all sides.

    In the end I even made the following challenge to any and every Pastor in America:

    To any Pastor in America who has shut their church services down due to the coronavirus, I hereby challenge you to a public and written debate to Biblically defend your position.

    This challenge was sent to many Pastors and many church members brought it to their own church leaders urging them to accept my challenge. This was in April, and the year is now over and NOT A SINGLE Pastor or Church leader was willing to accept my debate. The reason is obvious—they’ve been caught and proven to be the worthless hirelings that they are and didn’t want any further exposure.

    For years Christians have claimed to be praying for revival and renewal in America and for Americans to set their hearts back on God and His Word. Then along comes a fake “pandemic” causing millions of people to be struck with fear, paralyzing their minds and terrifying their hearts. This was the time for the Church to shine! People were turning their hearts towards God and were seeking answers in a confusing world.

    In other words, in a modern era with hardened spiritual soil and generations of evolutionary, atheistic, and anti-god sentiments, for the first time in my lifetime, it was as if God had miraculously tilled the ground and given the American church the opportunity to reap a new harvest!

    So what did the American church do? In short, our churches as a whole, complied with illegal lockdown orders all over the country—which had the effect of shutting down churches and arresting Pastors and church-goers for simply attending church.

    When the Church was most needed is when it demonstrated itself to be the most pathetic. The hirelings were exposed along with their weak sheep (professed Christian church-goers) who have yet to meet a Constitutionally violating government order that they don’t accept and happily comply with.

    SUGGESTED ACTION: If your church shut down for any period of time during the 2020 lockdowns then your hireling leaders have been exposed! Leave your church immediately and go to a church that did not shutdown or start your own home church ministry (which is very Biblical [Ro. 16:15; 1 Co. 16:19; Col. 4:15, Phm. 2] and which have proven to be even more edifying for many hungry souls).

    Yoho: A perspective from the Protestant Heartland. I find nothing to disagree with. God bless our yeomanry.

      He’s right on some things, but he also seems weak and defeatist on others. UBI making us dox proof?

      ‘We should pursue universal entitlements and basic protections so we can survive economically. We are not conservatives, because we don’t want to conserve the social order.’

      Does he consider that our foes would be receiving those entitlements also? That they could weaken, instead of strengthen us?

    Trump is out. Biden is your ruler. Trump gave him to you, along with Harris. Both the House and Senate would have to vote on elector disqualification. The House buries Trump and even the Senate might help with the shovel.

    Yes, indigestible, unassimilable isn’t it? Tums, Rolaids won’t help you. All you can do now is vomit. Regurgitate. Pathetic. Harris will whip all the weasels, the Biden bells will ‘woke’ the nation.

      And even if both the House and Senate had a Republican majority, there are real legislative limits to what they could do to overturn the certified electoral slates submitted by the 50 states plus DC.

      The “alternative” or “shadow” electors proposed by seven states are not certified, and I expect would have no standing, and VP Mike Pence is very likely to rule that way.

      In addition, DC plus all states except Wisconsin (who were a day late) made the safe harbor deadline, so they are guaranteed to have their slates accepted. Otherwise, why have the safe harbor provisions?

      The rules governing the certification process give almost all power and authority to the states to submit their conclusive and certified electoral slates. The role of Congress is largely formal and ceremonial.

      And if you think about it – it has to be this way. Otherwise an opposition that controlled both the House and the Senate could reject sufficient states so their candidate overturned the election result any time they felt like it.

      But this can’t happen under the rules … we will see. I would expect the process to be over before 11:00 pm on 6 January. And I agree – even Mitch McConnell seems less than enthusiastic about stirring this pot pointlessly.

        BTW, if GA approves one GOP senators, Mittens becomes very powerful in the Senate. If two Dems are elected, he is meaningless.

          “Which means they got away with it.”

          Well … for Donald Trump to prevent Joe Biden getting away with it, he had to nail two or three churning / overturning court cases well before this.

          All I am outlining is that the Joint Session on January 6 is not going to be the place where any overturning happens, unless I am wildly mistaken.

          “How to prevent another electoral debacle becomes a major issue.”

          Couldn’t agree more – the need to re-visit and reform the electoral process so that there is widespread acceptance of its democratic probity, would seem to be an urgent and compelling need. Is there a bipartisan path to achieve this?

      “The decision for removal acknowledged the statue’s role in perpetuating harmful prejudices and obscuring the role of Black Americans in shaping the nation’s freedoms,” [Mayor] Walsh said.

      I don’t have a strong view either way on whether the statue should have been removed (although the kneeling ex-slave is fairly problematic), however this type of sanctimonious official pronouncement about it can definitely make me gag.

      All Mayor Walsh had to say is the statue was sufficiently controversial that we thought it better if we whisked it away. That would have been enough.

    “If, as is often the case, the fracturing of consensus results in (or is caused by) strong feelings of grievance among one group against another, a cycle of retribution may ensue. Recent brain research by James Kimmel, Jr. at the Yale University School of Medicine shows that the brain on grievance craves retribution in much the same way a brain addicted to heroin craves more heroin.”

    Vindication is so amazing and cathartic. See!! The Dominion machines can be easily hacked and were and have been absolutely compromised. And yes, absolutely votes were sent overseas and it just so appears that the Italian government may have a larger role in this than has been suggested to date but I’ll keep those conspiracy theories to myself for now. 😉 But one thing for sure I will lol at are these pleas for clarity and coherence (a is an oopsie and Q would slay you for it) from people who are so far away from the two that neither gps nor map or anything else could help you reach them. It’s like these people have become marooned in their own little worlds. Get a clue. Which also means get a life but my goal is to be of cheer and service so I’ll try to explain better. Massive fraud happened. The 2020 Presidential election was stolen. Other elections have been too but this one really takes the cake because of the scale. It obviously is about Trump but its also obviously way bigger than Trump. Another point of great importance is that there is no obligation for consensus. And really. Who wants consensus with messengers of privilege derived arrogance, condescension, and derision anyhoo?

    Below is a reality check for all those drinking the government Covid Kool-aid. I have seen numerous accounts from citizen journalists in the US finding similar situations at hospitals. Are you listening GA, rocket8? And of course, the story ends with the truth teller arrested.

    https://www.zerohedge.com/political/uk-woman-arrested-filming-inside-empty-hospital

    UK Woman Arrested For Filming Inside Empty Hospital

    “This is a disgrace…it is so dead…all the people in our country desperately waiting for treatment, cancer treatment heart disease, honestly this is making me so angry,” she states as she films a row of empty waiting chairs.

    The woman expressed shock at how quiet the hospital was, saying she expected there to be “a few more people around, there’s absolutely nobody.”

    According to reports, a 46-year-old woman was subsequently arrested by police for filming the video and has been charged on suspicion of a public order offence.

    While the footage shows the inside of the hospital to be virtually empty, UK health authorities have continually asserted that the NHS is at risk of being “overwhelmed” as a result of rising COVID-19 infections.

    Almost all of the emergency Nightingale hospitals that were built at a cost of £220million to handle overflow COVID patients were never used and are now being dismantled.

      “The reports in the Daily Mail and the London Telegraph note that the facilities, known as ‘Nightingale hospitals’, set up at huge conference centres and other warehouse spaces are “being quietly taken apart” because there are not enough staff to run them

      Why did you miss that bit out, hm? I’ve said repeatedly (and in this very thread, further up) that a Nightingale hospital might as well be a warehouse for garden gnomes if you don’t have trained staff to man it. And a ‘critical care bed’ might as well be a bar stool if you don’t have a 24-hour shift of critical care nurses for it and a share of a critical care consultant.

      The equipment in the Nightingale hospitals is being shared among normal NHS hospitals, not thrown away.

      And your example of a hospital without busy wards is … Gloucestershire?

      “she states as she films a row of empty waiting chairs.”

      When I got my cancer treatment at the end of 2019, I sat in busy waiting rooms. Got there early and was sometimes treated early. When I went back for my checkup last October I was advised by letter not to arrive more than a few minutes before my appointment time. Because of bad timing (it’s a 2-bus trip), due to a fear of being late, I sat in a cold, damp (it was pissing down) bus shelter on the main road outside the hospital for almost an hour, because I knew they didn’t want me in the waiting room.

      So, yeah, I’m really shocked at the whole empty waiting room scenario. You’d think they’d be having parties while they were waiting.

      ‘Gloucestershire’. I’m surprised they didn’t film in Stornoway or a cottage hospital on Orkney.

        Not apropos of Covid, but here’s a story you might like about empty wards, hm.

        One time a few years ago there was NOBODY in the paediatric wards at a hospital outside Edinburgh with a major paediatric unit.

        Backstory: More than 50% of new doctors in the UK are women. Well over 50% of the doctors in paediatrics are women, because of that baby/child thing that women are still into.

        It takes a little over 10 years to train a doctor, including specialist training. That means you get a whole bunch of female doctors who get to 30, have just finished their training and decide to have their family, which they couldn’t easily do until then. Because they like their own babies too, they often come back part-time (which has the unfortunate economic effect that it costs twice as much as it used to to train one full-time-equivalent doctor – law of unintended consequences and so on).

        So, guess what happened in that hospital? It was full of young, female paediatric docs and a whole lot of them were on maternity leave at the same time. It proved impossible to replace them all, so the Paediatric Unit had to close temporarily. Just as well your amateur photographer wasn’t around, eh? Goodness knows what she’d have made of it for the Daily Mail. Especially since the Daily Mail isn’t over fond of women, unless they are worthy of being in their tits and arse sidebar.

        Such obvious cherry picking is disgusting. How many research hours did the folder do to take videos of “empty” hospitals.

        Both political sides of this pandemic are so fundamentally full of s**t that their opinions are worthless.

        Do what the hoaxers want, the economy shuts down because absenteeism and health care overloads.

        Do what the Lockdown people want, and you shut down the small business sector, the main part of the economy.

        The real suckers are the common folks, who do not know what is right. If they follow one or the other, the results are catastrophic.

        The right answer is mitigation, separation to avoid spray, masks when unable, good hygiene, protection of safe spaces, and convincing 95% of the public to follow these simple rules.

        And open up everything following these rules. The droplet part, the most serious part, the surges, would just go away.

        The aerosol part would just be like the flu, waiting for vaccines to make herd immunity.

        One thing, like the flu, this virus will not disappear but come slowly under control. One difference between it and the flu, however, seems to be it is not seasonal, it hits all year.

        Trumps belief that it was seasonal, his hope, probably cost him the closeness of this election. It did not “just disappear” and seems to be adapting itself to be a part of the human landscape.

        Personal observation. Up until the last surge, it seemed like very few folks I know, got the Covid. Since the last one, I would guess 30% of my acquaintances have gotten the crud, including my grandson and daughter. If people do not mitigate, it is just going to continue to grow. Good news is, most northern and Midwest states that put mitigation into place in December are decreasing with new cases.

        Three times, three surges, three complacent preludes, three successful mitigated attenuations. Take this and forget about all the cherry picked studies. Do not believe anything the MSM says, it is all lies.

      I’m afraid those people are scarcely any sort of real problem at all.

      A genuine discussion , a genuine difference of opinion , goes like this ;

      Person A — ” I think you should do this. ”

      Person B — ” No. ”

      And that’s the end of that. 🙂

      What’s really going on here is people who write endless walls of text , but NEVER flat out state ;

      ” I’m going to force you to do this. ”

      Those people haven’t drunk any fucking Kool – Aid .

      They are those people who , at Jonestown , were pointing the guns at those other people who didn’t want to drink the Kool – Aid.

        Gloucester is 240 people per square mile , Orkney is 20 per square mile .

        Almost , not quite , a 5 to 1 difference.

        As for the United States , some numbers ;

        Average city ICU size — 20 to 30 beds.

        Average rural hospital ICU size — 5 to 8 beds.

        Why so low ?

        Maybe because typical national ICU bed occupancy rate is only 66% ?

        Maybe because building and maintaining two hundred beds for something that might happen occasionally adds up to one hell of a maintenance cost that isn’t occasional ?

            My anecdote was (precisely) about people filming situations they don’t entirely understand. If the woman had come to film in my local hospital, I doubt she’d have filmed me sitting in a bus shelter for an hour either when she was agog at empty waiting rooms. Other people would have been waiting in their cars.

            In the first spike of the pandemic we had people saying exactly the same thing. But they didn’t know that the NHS in some regions had paid for the entire capacity of local private hospitals to carry out surgery, for example, in a situation separate from where Covid patients might be. Hence empty surgery wards in the main NHS hospital.

            I agree that the situation is often over-hyped. It’s just that I don’t believe every Tom, Dick or Harry with a smart phone either.

            “GA, How is it possible that in your wonderful socialist national health care system, you are left waiting on a cold. rainy bus stop bench for almost an hour? Trouble in paradise? LOL”

            HM, I’m confused. Because I explained already why I was in the bus shelter – but I’ll tell you again. They wrote and asked me, as they asked everyone else, not to come early for appointments, in order to avoid having any more people than absolutely necessary sitting in a waiting room together during a pandemic. I’ve already told you that six unfortunate cancer in-patients died in the same hospital (in the same block, in fact) following a Covid outbreak in their cancer unit. What are you missing?

            And the reason for the time (one hour) was because, as you well know, I don’t have a car. It takes two separate buses to get to the Western General from where I live and I have a horror of being late for appointments. I included a large amount of ‘contingency’ for possibly just missing the second bus, but I didn’t. Hence my early arrival had nothing to do with the NHS. And I don’t generally expect people to re-arrange their appointment systems to suit my very early arrival.

            I hope you are reassured. But there has been trouble for some time. I could tell you lots about it any time you ask, since I have the insights of someone working in it to add to my own observations. I have done before, in fact. But waiting in a bus shelter was my choice, following their request not to come early. I could have gone for a walk. Or indeed gone in early, whinged about the rain, and made myself their problem, but I try not to make a nuisance of myself, generally.

        • GreenAlba December 31, 2020 at 7:37 am #

          My point was that the population density in Greater London is 11,760 inhabitants per square mile, which makes Gloucestershire rather more similar to Orkney than to London.

          Usually when hospitals are overwhelmed by a train derailment, large numbers of hospital staff are not already off sick and it doesn’t go on for months. You also don’t have to demarcate hospital units to keep train derailment patients (and the staff looking after them) from infecting other people with their train derailment syndrome.

          Otherwise you’re right that in a system that’s very tight (e.g. NHS as opposed to the US system which has spare capacity (because $$$$) you don’t pay for spare capacity that is only used occasionally.

          Same reason we’re always short of snow-ploughs in a really bad winter …

          But you still have to deal with the problem and accommodate the people, even if it’s only in the back of an ambulance. It’s not unknown for ambulances to be stacked even outside of pandemics, because there’s not much slack in the system.

          I still don’t support lockdowns. But I recognise that the price of sticking to that is that people with heart failure or stroke as much as Covid will sometimes be left practically in the street to die. In some places.

            Gavin Newsom asked for a 1-2 week lockdown.
            Then a month.
            Now, almost 10 months later, he wants the lock to stay on.

            Thank you for ‘Bocburnen’, brh. It has warmed the cockles of my heart. Which is a good thing, because it’s currently snow and ice around these parts. I lost my dignity yesterday by falling over on an icy pavement on my way to the shops with the dawg (new one). Like an ice rink it was.

            Gavin Newsom (whom I only know from these pages) sounds like a tit, if you’ll pardon my French. Incidentally, should you be wondering, I also support the balancing of budgets (or the attempt thereof), and not inviting people in large numbers to live in your state on the streets, likewise any number of policies that most people would consider sane in a world of grown-ups.

            If no-one had ever mentioned ‘lockdown’, it wouldn’t have occurred to me as a policy. But I’d have stayed away from crowded places (and buses, which I did, for months) and would have found the cancellation of huge concerts and sports events to be very reasonable.

            When the first lockdown was announced (we were on holiday in the Lake District, so felt somewhat illicit), I also thought it was to be for two weeks, then four. At that point, I specifically said to my daughter, who was more worried than I was, ‘well people have to go back to work now, no matter what, because this can’t be sustained’.

            But like I said, I am not impressed by people who say they don’t want lockdowns but won’t make the minor sacrifice of keeping a few feet from other people and sticking a mask on in a shop or in a bus, so that something resembling normal life can go on, without hospitals being overwhelmed. I don’t find them sincere.

            Let’s keep going with the above. Want some more? Say, “Can I have more please.”

            The vaccine will not only not stop transmission, there’s no evidence that it stops sickness and death. After all, you can’t transmit it if you don’t have it. It may only lessen symptoms.

            https://www.unz.com/mwhitney/heres-why-you-should-skip-the-covid-vaccine/

            And just my own thought: Is there any reason to believe their 95% thing? They’ve lied about everything else….

            The number one thing that vaccine does it allow you to get your vaccine passport stamped. And of course they’re already working on another one for the “new strain”.

            There is actually a lot of evidence that it stops sickness and death. But you’re right to suggest the 95% might not be the final percentage after years of use in the real world, rather than in a lab.

            https://theconversation.com/pfizer-vaccine-what-an-efficacy-rate-above-90-really-means-149849

            “The number one thing that vaccine does it allow you to get your vaccine passport stamped. And of course they’re already working on another one for the “new strain”.”

            You keep saying this – well the first bit anyway. I’m not aware of a new one for the ‘new strain’, but maybe I’m just not up to date. They’re still using the ‘old’ new one, despite the fact that, here at least, the ‘new strain’ is taking over from the original, as it would if it’s 70% more infectious. But the passport thing makes no sense, and the lack of sense is just as easy to prove as you saw me do upthread. A barrister in a court of law would do it even better.

            You’re not going to take it, so why don’t you leave it at that? I have no wish to persuade you to take it. I haven’t quite persuaded myself, hence my continued perch on the fence.

            My other half’s personal risk assessment seems to be that his diabetes and hypertension makes vaccination the better option. Any pressure for me to get it is coming from him, rather than from any public authority.

            But there are no guarantees in life, so I’ll be guessing whichever option I choose.

    ” All Mayor Walsh had to say is the statue was sufficiently controversial ”

    Umm , no , The distinct impression I very commonly get , from both right – wingers and left – wingers , from Americans in general , is that there is nothing controversial in the pro – U.S. narrative of that war ,or , specifically , the pro – U.S. narrative of that man.

    Hey , if you want to suggest that narrative IS VERY MUCH debatable ,

    I would be happy as hell to go right along with that ! 😀

    EXCEPT FOR ME , though ,

    I doubt that ;

    ” All Mayor Walsh had to say … ”

    Is remotely true.

    If anything , no doubt , Mayor Walsh hasn’t explained nearly enough.

    ” I don’t have a strong view either way on whether the statue should have been removed (although the kneeling ex-slave is fairly problematic) ”

    Why “problematic ” ?

    How , “problematic ” ?

    This statue was put up in Boston Massachusetts , yes ?

    So it probably wasn’t put up by the United Daughters of the Confederacy ?

    No , as Boston Massachusetts was arguably the very cradle of Abolitionism ,

    It was most likely put up by the very people who pushed the narrative that the war was for the benefit of Black people , in order to make Blacks free and equal .

    Except that kneeling is clearly symbolic of subordination , of a relation of inferior to superior.

    You kneel to gods , you kneel to kings , you kneel to your betters.

    That is , it is problematic precisely because it is NOT CSA imagery , and IS USA imagery.

    Is not a CSA narrative , but a USA narrative.

    Simply remove a statue OF LINCOLN ?

    But keep the moral – crusade , – we – did – it – to – make – men – free – narrative ?

    That seems to me like trying to stage Hamlet , without Hamlet.

    Hey , I’m sorry you folks dug yourselves such a deep fucking hole. 🙂

      Lincoln is just a reminder of the past which the Wokesters want to denigrate. Their aim is to destroy the past, the good and the bad. Without tradition, they can overwhelm the public in the future. That is their goal to remove the predominant goodness of the American experiment.

      This is an attempted takeover by the globalist Communistic community in a quest for world power.

      Most of the rest of the world sucks in comparison to the USA. The vast majority of veterans have seen this and are staunch America supporters hence Deplorables. These jerks are stealing the goodness of America.

      BTW, Lincoln was first and foremost a magnificent politician. He hated the ravages of slavery, but Union was number one. When it was apparent that the South was not going to give up their peculiar institution, the Emancipation Proclamation was initiated, and the war became the abolition of slavery. If you want to see how fervent Lincoln was about the abolition, please watch the movie, Lincoln, and watch the fantastic maneuvering this political genius accomplished to get the 13th amendment passed.

        The water in Florida stays warmer so there is that.
        Take for example surf report for San Diego is 4′ to 6′ and the surf report for Florida is New Smyrna beach 4′ to 5′ close but all you have is beach break.

One of the positives was the dominance Trump had in the Cuban community and how it panicked the Dems. Within ten minutes, Fox called Arizona for Trump and the downturn started. It was like flipping a switch.

      Very interesting, EF. You could tell him we’ve heard there’s some spare capacity in Gloucestershire, if it helps in the short term. Can’t vouch for the quality of the surfing for time off (haha) – the Severn Bore would be a bit of a disappointment to a Californian, not to mention the water temperature. But Gloucester has its own cheese, so there’s that.

      I liked: ” but to a person, everyone of them has expressed that the Internet jet-fuel geniuses who think this is a scam should STFU, and pull a shift here, any day of the week, with their eyes and ears open, and their pieholes shut.” [As if.]

      And if your blogger and his mates need help doing the triage with a hood and sickle at some future point, I can suggest at least three names on this very website who’d be a dab hand at sorting out the deserving from the undeserving, without batting an eyelid or experiencing the slightest shard of an iota of self-doubt. Only don’t ask them to wear a mask, as that would detract from their gravitas. In fact don’t allow them PPE in any shape or form, if they’ve every uttered the word ‘hoax’ or ‘scam’.

      But perhaps they’d save time and effort by taking the ‘Tuez-les tous – Dieu reconnaîtra les siens‘ approach to intensive care, which wouldn’t be much of a stretch for them anyway and would save heaps of $$$$$.

      Courage! Look for the Orange Man’s coming at first light on the Sixth Day. On a White Horse named Unraveler.

      Lin Wood

      A sealed document in a federal court in Maryland, sealed under National Security, documents how Nancy Pelosi, Rod Rosenstein, John Podesta, and John Brennan have tapes of John Roberts talking with Podesta about who would best replace Antonin Scalia, and they were recorded before Scalia died, and apparently had foreknowledge of his death. Roberts flew on Epstein’s plane because Epstein helped him acquire his children from Wales.

      Barack Obama is worth well over billion dollars, much inherited from his step-father who owned it in Halliburton stock.

      Many people in this country will go to jail for treason, and the number that will be just associated with trying to steal this election from our President will be astounding.

      He predicts a violent period of civil unrest as the Cabal tries to engage in violence as part of their Color Revolution plan, just like we have seen overseas, after Trump wins the Presidency.

      He believes the Governor of Georgia has been taking kickbacks on Georgia purchases of Dominion voting machines and Chinese PPE orders. And the death of Harrison Deal in a car wreck, which produced an explosion that was heard by witnesses a mile away, was a message to him.

      Pat Cipillone, the disloyal White House lawyer trying to thwart President Trump at every turn, drives a new luxury vehicle to the White House every two days, including a Rolls Royce.

      Rosenstein, Sally Yates, and Christopher Wray all worked in the same law firm, and are corrupt.

      CIA is the most corrupt organization in the country, and President Trump is about to defang them by pulling all direct-action operational capabilities from the Agency, reducing it to an organization of paper pushers. Oddly enough President Kennedy was about to do that when he was killed, and the memo, named “Memorandum 45,” sat on his desk unsigned. Lin implies President Trump set it in motion by signing that very memo.

      Bill Gates is going down as well.

      George Bush 41 and 43, Bill and Hillary, and Obama all ran crime families, and they ran them out of the Oval Office. He said he believes the notes given at Bush 41’s funeral said, “I’m sorry, but they know it all.”

      Under the 2018 EO on voting integrity, President Trump will have the power to seize all the assets of the Fake News mainstream media once things start happening, because they have profited from trying to aid China in voter fraud.

      He also points out there were reports of gunfire before the bombing, and that it is inconsistent with a lone bomber, and might indicate good guys killed the bomber before he positioned the bomb appropriately, and that is why the bomber failed to destroy the “evidence” he was trying to destroy.

      Lin says he believes if the election is shown to be fraudulent, all down-ballot elections may have to be re-held.

      President Trump will prove to be the greatest President in the history of the United States.

            I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt when they’ve already successfully gone against conventional ‘wisdom’ as in making an assertion without being able to as yet prove all the details of that assertion while at the great expense of having their reputation ruined.

            I have no idea if the allegations re Roberts, Scalia, Epstein are true or not. But we do know that Roberts’ name was on the flight logs to Epstein’s ‘care home for wayward girls’, and there’s enough legit speculation as to Epstein’s fate that several outlandish claims can be entertained with at least some degree of plausibility.

            You also fail to acknowledge Wood’s points re GA Gov Kemp and his compromised position as to his relations with the GA business community, Dominion, and the CCP. This isn’t hair-on-fire speculation, it has more legs than octopus quintuplets.

            Trump’s holding a lot of classified documents as an ace card. Perhaps Wood has direct or linked access to at least some of that?

            Just like with the attempted steal, it’s not wise to lay all your cards on the table immediately. He could know a hell of a lot more, with direct detail, than it would currently be wise to let on yet, for many reasons.

    China covered up its role in spreading Covid globally?
    No way that’s tin foil hat conspiracy theory stuff!

    https://www.oann.com/hacked-documents-detail-chinas-effort-to-control-narrative-surrounding-coronavirus-outbreak/

    The only real problem is how they blocked travel in China from Wuhan but allowed flights out of there to anywhere flights could go to!

      Seems to me China covers up its role in pretty much everything. Including slave labour and dodgy organ harvesting. It’s no wonder they have a list as long as your arm of capital offences.

    Samantha Maiden on changing Australia’s national anthem:

    Changing the national anthem is stupid and annoying. It’s like getting a historical artefact or a painting and going “ooh why don’t we just drop a dollop of pink paint on it?” Actually, no, don’t, you vandals.

    The anthem was suddenly changed yesterday/today to be more inclusive of Abos, or “first nation” people.

    • BackRowHeckler December 31, 2020 at 1:54 pm #

      You mean the Australian National Anthem is no longer Waltzing Matilda?

      • Yohannon December 31, 2020 at 2:06 pm #

        Unless “Mathilda” is not a bag at all, but an Abo maiden! PSA’s are made to remind them not to huff gas too much and not to sleep on the roads. At all. Harsh, I know.

    • FreddieMars December 31, 2020 at 3:33 pm #

      Pearl-clutching, much?

      The line that’s been changed -the spot of pink paint – is from
      ‘For we are young and free’ to ‘for we are one and free’.

      Also, it’s hardly an historical artefact that. Until “Advance Australia Fair”was adopted in 1977, the National Anthem was “God Save the Queen”.

      There’s nothing in which you cannot find a nasty, dark and evil element.

      • Yohannon December 31, 2020 at 6:23 pm #

    Lin Wood confirms Epstein is alive. Asks Roberts why he asked about a successor to Scalia shortly BEFORE his mysterious death and if he is a member of any pedophile cabal.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/trumpist-lawyer-lin-wood-goes-031910691.html

    No one is going to sue him because their hands are too dirty to face scrutiny. He probably can’t prove his claims, but they will incriminate themselves if they try a legal assault. He’s unafraid – unlike most. Fear is how they have conquered America.

    Lou Dobbs discredited his own reporting when Dominion threatened him. Woods just said, “Bring it”.

    • Tate December 31, 2020 at 2:30 pm #

      • SoftStarLight December 31, 2020 at 3:49 pm #

        He’s actually a successful attorney and he is very intelligent and he loves America and simply wants to see America’s domestic and foreign enemies destroyed. So in my estimation for whatever its worth he is a good and godly man. He has enemies in very high and resourceful places so he is pretty daring and bold too knowing the grave risks. If there is disappointment in the fight for that which is right it is what it is. But why should that be a deterrent in the face of an existential struggle? The dark powers of the world have gathered against DJT for over four years so why would anyone believe hus fight is going to be easy or simple?

      “Lin Wood confirms Epstein is alive.”

      How was this achieved … are there pictures of a currently healthy Mr Epstein? Words are important, and a claim isn’t a confirmation.

      As a person who doesn’t have a dog in this fight, I shake my head when I see such stuff from these lawyers.

      They are purportedly working on behalf of Donald Trump’s cause, and may have some solid arguments – about failures in the electoral process – but then they go and de-rail their case with big arm-waving conspiracy add-ons. To what purpose?

      “Asks [John] Roberts why he asked about a successor to Scalia shortly BEFORE his mysterious death and if he is a member of any pedophile cabal.”

      It’s a funny way to run your business … attacking personally (and rather viciously) the Chief Justice of a court you may hope to appear before.

      • SoftStarLight December 31, 2020 at 5:12 pm #

        What is your proof that his assertions are false? You sound convinced that they are so besides “official sources” what tangible proof do you have that Epstein isn’t actually alive? Are we venturing that it is an impossibility that Roberts is a compromised tool? Has it not been proven throughout history that in fact many “officials” are corrupted tools. You seem to have an open mind. Perhaps things that sound outrageous aren’t really when you peel back the layers. There is that saying too that truth is often stranger than fiction. Smart criminals can do amazing things from a technical perspective at least right? So as much as you doubt maybe don’t doubt. Unless you really know for sure, you don’t really know for sure.

        • Tekapo December 31, 2020 at 7:23 pm #

          “What is your proof that his assertions are false? You sound convinced that they are so besides “official sources” what tangible proof do you have that Epstein isn’t actually alive?”

          Well – yes – I can’t prove that he is dead of course, one just has to rely on the official sources and media stories that he died in that jail, and make an assessment … everyone does.

          But overall, on balance, I expect Epstein did indeed die in the jail, although whether it was suicide or not is less certain.

          It’s hard to prove the negative case any time. It seems to me that the onus is on the person claiming that Epstein is alive to provide the evidence of this.

          I can’t prove there are no fairies at the bottom of my garden either, and it’s sort of up to those who claim there are to prove it. No?

      • Yohannon December 31, 2020 at 6:21 pm #

    ” An anecdotal account from the front lines ” ;

    The Boy Who Cried Wolf ” —

    — Was written in an era when one in three women died in childbirth.

    When three out of four children didn’t live past the age of ten.

    In an era when , even though people lived in houses , death from exposure was commonplace , because they didn’t have central heat and air conditioning , refrigeration , electric fans , indoor plumbing , or cast iron stoves.

    Now , that the moral of that story is that lieing is a bad idea , is such a gross over – simplification as to be tantamount to deception.

    The moral of the story was rather that you shouldn’t incessantly jerk peoples chains.

    That you shouldn’t relentlessly go around scaring the shit out of people.

    That you shouldn’t manipulate the shit out of people for power.

    And , again , that was the advice when really bad shit ,

    was really happening ,

    every day.

    Covid ?

    Frankly ; What about it ?

    It isn’t like this is the first demand you people have made .

    Or the third ,

    or the fifteenth ,

    or the 30th.

    ” But you still have to deal with the problem ”

    It so happens I can pinpoint the precise single statement that brought me to CFN ;

    ( paraphrasing from memory. )

    ” It does not follow that just because we can measure something , that means we can control it. ”

    I might tack on ; ” unintended consequences ” , and , ” diminishing returns with increasing complexity . ”

    Then too ,

      I agree with you that it’s debatable. I agree that there is an option of ignoring sick people just because previously sick people had no options and presumably will find themselves in the same position again.

      Debating it’s fine.

      But while we still have some hospital beds, someone or some someone’s have to decide who gets to occupy them and have a chance. I’m fine with that person being you.

      That having been said though ,

      the pedophile shtick has always altogether struck me as rather bizarre ,

      Or the obvious circumstance that the LGBTQ “movement ” always was , and is , a fucking joke.

        So nobody can be considered to know what they’re talking about, even if they spend their life defusing mines, unless they earn less than whatever amount currently pisses you off.

        That makes sense.

        And it has the advantage that you can claim full-spectrum insight into every human soul and every human activity (which you regularly do) simply because you earn less than whatever amount currently pisses you off.

    Joe Biden —- 509
    Donald Trump —- 2,547

    This is even after millions of fraudulent votes for Joe were injected into the system via the massive in the middle of the night dumps of hundreds of thousands at a pop. And the hundreds of thousands of mail in ballots couhted days and days after the election in the swing states and elsewhere. Again, not to even mention the hacked machines and algorithms.

    Joe Biden should stop pretending and concede already. But really, its good we are going to do this the hard way because maximum exposure and disclosure is going to bring the whole house of cards down.

    • Tekapo January 1, 2021 at 1:17 pm #

      “Joe Biden —- 509 … “Donald Trump —- 2,547”

      Those are pretty eye-popping numbers I agree.

      Unfortunately for Donald Trump, elections aren’t based on counties, but states, where it’s about 25-25. And the national popular vote is about 52%-48% for Biden.

      Many of those Trump counties are rural, with very small populations compared to urban ones. For example, Georgia has 159 counties, but over 60% of the population lives in Atlanta.

      However the bigger point is well made – the Republican Party can’t win big cities, and the Democrats aren’t very good out in rural areas.
