Insurrection Anybody?

    Insurrections galore spark off all of a sudden, and 2023 was just born days ago! Want to know why? Because the business model of the global economy is broken and the supposed remedy for that is centralized control of populations and super-strict regulation of all their activities — that is, techno-tyranny (with Marxist characteristics, as the Chinese like to put it). Not everybody wants to ride that bus, and so an epic economic problem becomes an arduous political struggle, here and elsewhere in the world.

    A great mob of many thousands went apeshit in Brazil over the weekend in that country’s weird, geographically isolated capital, Brasilia, a horror of 1960s-style Modernist city planning. They stormed the national congress and trashed the offices within to protest the fishy election of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva over the former incumbent Jair Bolsonaro. As in our own country, the quarrel was over the mysterious behavior of voting machines and the unwillingness of election officials or courts to verify the results. The New York Times offered a thumbnail of Mr. Bolsonaro, who is sitting out the current action in Florida:

The resulting picture showed an elected leader, first as a congressman and then as president, who has built a narrative of fraudulent elections based on inaccuracies, out-of-context reports, circumstantial evidence, conspiracy theories and downright falsehoods — much like former President Donald J. Trump.”

     Get it? There’s no way fraud could have happened, just like in our country. And Bolsonaro is another Trump. It explains everything. All complaints are “baseless,” “false,” and “conspiracy theories.” End-of-story…. Are these shopworn tropes maybe losing their mojo? And is The New York Times embarrassing itself, a little bit, to trot them out as if they are actually arguments against anything?

     The truth is more that Mr. Lula is another Hugo Chavez, poised to wreck Brazil with a fresh attempt at nationalizing all enterprise, ramping up a Marxist police state, and inviting China to partner-up in the action, including new Chinese military bases in the western hemisphere — an interesting challenge to the Monroe Doctrine (if anyone remembers what it says). And so, Mr. Lula has arrested hundreds of protesters and declared a national emergency.

     Don’t expect it to stop there. The protesters are asking the army to intervene, as Brazil’s constitution actually obligates them to do in election disputes. Also, unlike the USA, Brazil has plenty of prior experience with the army removing elected leaders. Sometimes, electing yourself into tyranny is not the best way to solve economic problems. For the moment, Mr. Lula borrows a page from the American Left’s playbook for destroying a society. It will matter a lot if he doesn’t get away with it. That’s why the US political Swamp, and its errand boys in the news media, look on the action in Brazil with alarm. Unlike the January 6 protest in Washington, the Brasilia mob represents a genuine insurrection aimed at overthrowing a communist seizure of power.

     Likewise, the US Swamp endured a rebellion in the House of Representatives last week. The 20-odd reps who revolted against Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker — Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and others — sought written guarantees — which they won – to prevent such legislative insults as the passage of a 4000-page omnibus spending bill that nobody could possibly read prior to voting, along with many Swamp-draining changes in rules. One rule change makes it much easier to remove Speaker McCarthy from leadership if he reneges on any of his agreements. The House can now proceed to multiple inquiries into the vast matrix of rot, malice, and deceit that has set the federal government at war against its own citizens.

     One example of this despotic malice, of course, is the open border with Mexico that has enabled millions of unvetted migrants to enter the USA illegally with the federal immigration apparatus recruited (also illegally) to disperse them all over the country. “Joe Biden” traveled down to the border last weekend in a pretend show of concern for the disorder the stage-managers behind him have instigated there. They stupidly took him for a photo op to one of the few places on the border where he wouldn’t have to actually witness mobs crossing the Rio Grande: a stretch of wall that his predecessor, Mr. Trump, built. Hey, no unsightly foreign riffraff cluttering up the picture there!

     Before long, the House is going to impeach Mr. Biden over this fiasco and quite a few other matters. He may not be convicted in the Senate, with its slim Democratic Party majority, but they will be compelled to hold a trial, at least, where a lot of dirty laundry will get aired, and pressure will mount for the old grifter to resign. Ms. Harris is sworn in and five minutes later suffers a “nervous collapse” that the public is not informed about. It sets off a wild series of events around the selection of a new vice-president — Barack or Michelle Obama? — that could burn the whole joint down. Stick around in ’23, unless the spike proteins have got your number. It’s going to be a humdinger of a year.

    The only good thing to come from the recent election here in the USA is that our divided government will be able to get little done especially since the funding for the government is assigned to the house. I hear those 87k IRS agents are about to be deplatformed.

    Apart from that, the bigger issues are the war with Russia that is not going well for Ukraine and NATO as our allies are being drained of weapons, ammunition and, as with Poland, manpower. Should the Russians decide to move further West, France & Germany have enough resources for TWO DAYS of combat. After that, they are completely defenseless.

    Finally, everyone would like to forget about Covid but the vaccine isn’t going to forget about them. Another close family friend went from perfectly fine to the great beyond just this weekend.

    • JohnAZ January 9, 2023 at 10:24 am #

      Could it be that the slow response of the Russians is on purpose with the desire to not just drain NATO, but the USA weapon coffers as well? The Russians and Chinese signed a defense agreement last year. Could it be that the national Whip of the CCP is counting the weapons the US is losing here? I wonder what threshold will draw them into Taiwan.

      Who is going to be the proxy in SE Asia, I do not think VietNam will volunteer after we stabbed them in the back.

      • Disaffected January 9, 2023 at 10:50 am #

        Very likely, I think. It’s an extension of the guerrilla warfare concept that the US has been playing all along, where instead of taking an enemy on directly in a massively bloody confrontation(s), you bleed them over time.

        The US sees this as advantageous, as they can rid their inventories of obsolete junk and then soak the taxpayers for a new round of even more expensive and lucrative obsolete junk.

        Whereas Russia is seeing this as just another opportunity to keep weakening the west, who seems to be determined to shoot themselves in the foot no matter what.

        • NickelthroweR January 9, 2023 at 11:18 am #

          These weapons we are handing off are anything but obsolete. 1980’s technology is all you need for “smart” munitions. After all, laser guided artillery rounds don’t have to be able to run Call of Duty.

          Frankly, you could take a modern day infantry platoon and transport them back in time 55 years and they’d feel right at home. They’d recognize much of the equipment because it is still being used today.

          Finally, Russia is being smart in that it is allowing NATO to disarm itself by hurling all of its weapons and ammunition into Ukraine very near the Russian border where the Russians have an overwhelming advantage in heavy artillery and a very short supply line.

          • Mick January 9, 2023 at 11:24 am #

            People are going to be very surprised over the next two to four months when Russia really devastates The Ukraine’s military.

            I’ll enjoy our MSM’s attempts to explain it away.

            They are still pushing the shot.

            In Wayne County (Detroit), they recommend masking kids in school. In neighboring Washtenaw County (Ann Arbor), they are mandating it.

          The next domino that falls may easily be Margaret Trudeau’s precocious little boy Justin. He’s hanging on by a thread and the opposition NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has been publicly expressing delusions of grandeur, namely that HE would be a better PM than Margaret’s boy. Maybe he’s tired of playing lapdog to a megalomaniac? In other news, the all-powerful Ukrainian Canadian Congress is pressuring the federal government to ban Russian NHL players from Canada on the grounds that since so many of them support the Russian invasion of Ukraine, they are no better than Nazis. Funny, I didn’t know we were at war with Russia. And why is the UCC dictating immigration policy? I thought we were a multi-cultural pluralistic nation where no one ethnicity could dominate the rest. I didn’t hear anything about a vote in Parliament officially declaring war on Russia. Meanwhile, Canadians with Russian ancestry continue to bear the brunt of my nation’s hyper-Russophobia with attacks on Russian churches and businesses.

          • abbybwood January 9, 2023 at 2:02 pm #

            Justin’s puppet master, Christina Freeland, is about to become head of NATO.

          Putin’s main objective in the SMO was to destroy the Ukrainian military. The slow grinding effort is doing that very well. If it depletes NATO stocks, even better.

      • Socrates-Detroit January 9, 2023 at 11:35 am #

        Drain NATO. That has occurred to me also.

        The US Secretary of Defense, Austin (an overfed former General who sat on the board of Raytheon) before becoming SecDef, wants to “bleed Russia”.

        US military “policy” really, US military industrial complex) can be summarized as “high quality (aka EXPENSIVE and PROFITABLE) over quantity (the Soviet/Russian view).

        Every system the US sends to Ukraine requires months or years to replace, “weakening” the US and enriching the defense contractors. That’s besides the facts that the Ukrainians are not trained and therefore the systems must be operated by US troops covertly or former US troops, “contractors” (mercenaries).

        Biden’s dealing with Ukraine investigated by Congress? Impeached? I’ll believe it when I see it.

        I just listened to a podcast “Douglas Macgregor – Not Good Strategy” on u-tube. As always, interesting insights, but one new thing that stay with me, about the “deep state”

        “How does Liz Cheney’s net worth, after 3 terms in Congress, go from $7 million to $40 million?”

        • Mick January 9, 2023 at 11:43 am #

          Daddy Warbucks pays well.

        • hortonz January 9, 2023 at 1:07 pm #

          Breaking news: the Canadian government just signed an agreement in principle to buy 88 F-35 fighter jets. Just what we need in a country whose entire health-care system is on the verge of collapse and thousands of Canadians still don’t have access to clean drinking water or affordable housing. And this is the work of “progressives” who are more interested in cozying up to NATO than the looking after their own citizens. The Windsor-Essex county health unit has begun pushing masking again and there’s a push over at the school board to get kids vaccinated again. Ontario is pushing MRNA booster shots for everyone, even folks like me who’ve been triple vaccinated.

        Putins stated goal of the de-militarization of Ukraine implies the destr’uction of the Ukrainian armed forces. Zelenski and the West have a need to win this war in the media. Without “progress” and “victories” the West will quickly withdraw support as the true cost- steep recession throughout Europe and the industrialization of Germany, becomes apparent. This P.R. above all ethos means that the Ukrainians are throwing themselves into a meat-grinder where the Russians are better trained, better armed and better led.
        Instead of Russia having to chase them across all Ukraine they bring themselves to the slaughter. a senseless mindless blood-drenched tragedy,

        Russia gets the de-militarization of Europe thrown in almost for free.

      • ViceGrip January 10, 2023 at 6:15 pm #

        The Russian Federation is waiting for the ground to freeze in southern Ukraine.
        Both NATO’s and the United State’s weapons stocks are bottom-of-the-barrel depleted, which is absolutely wonderful for the Military Industrial Complex.

    • C.O.Jones January 9, 2023 at 10:28 am #

      I can relate, NickelthroweR. Clot shot took my brother in June of 2021 and I am still furious. I want retribution.

      My prayer is that 10% of the US citizens have the mental acuity and testicular fortitude to recognize the attack on us all and to stand up and stop the communist – spelled Bee Eye Dee Eee Enn – takeover of our constitutional republic. Impeachment is too good for him.

      I am still waiting for someone – anyone – to provide a logical explanation as to why Trump strong-armed representatives into voting for swamp creature McCarthy for speaker. I can see two possibilities: either Trump has lost the plot or he is and always has been deep state. Trump sycophants such as MTG followed suit and insisted McCarthy would bring about MAGA policies. I cannot stretch my imagination far enough to envision McCarthy doing anything to help this country.

      Our host is correct. 2023 will be a humdinger. Buckle up.

      • steppingup January 9, 2023 at 10:41 am #

        • JohnAZ January 9, 2023 at 11:14 am #

          Trump needs to separate himself from all parts of the Deep State. It is easy, if he breaks away from the GOP and creates the third party, he might take most of his base with him and a lot of Independents too.

          Otherwise, I agree, he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, with a line of drain the swamp rhetoric that no one will believe in 2024 if he runs as GOP.

          • Socrates-Detroit January 9, 2023 at 11:49 am #

            Trump had his chance. In 2016, his statements and wealth and (perceived by the public, and I include myself in that group) status as an outsider more than made up for his pompous, Howard Stern-like (they are, or were, pals) antics.

            In 2024, he will be too old, and his personality flaws will be worse. He can be manipulated.

            Trump can make a difference by using his considerable influence to mold the Republican agenda to be more like candidate Trump in 2016.

            What I foresee happening is, whether he is really a double-agent for the deep state or not, is that he will play the same role Theodore Roosevelt played in 1912, which will allow the Democrats to retain the White House, and all the executive powers therein.

            If JHK can still write online, and if we can still access this space, I predict JHK’s Dec 2023 column will rhyme with this one.

            It’s going to be rough ride, jagged ride, and the trend is down, at least in terms of standards of living, I’m sorry to say. Hopefully there are other values of importance in people lives to help them survive and find joy.

            Most of us here are in the USA. 2022-23 for the USA is what 1988-89 was for the USSR.

            All the gimmicks and short cuts we see in our life will come undone, and we will have leverage in reverse.

            Will 2024 be America’s version of Russia in 1992?

        The notion that Biden is in ANY control (possibly bowel-control, at best) is curious. And, as a person who has read books, may I ask you to tell me ONE even mildly socialist thing Biden has done? Or, as is so often the case on this site, is “communist” simply a synonym for “puty-head” (a favorite epithet of my roommate’s 6 yr old!)?

            Boy, ya got me there! Squeezing money out of you to give to (already wealthy) PRIVATE over-priced schools is just so “commie”. “Course, in Europe no one individually pays for college. THAT might be, y’know, socialist, if even mildly. But, for the (currently-ruling half of) Duopoly to maintain privatized educational credentials at ridiculous rates, along with privatized medicine, and MIC plundering is Class Warfare… not “socialism”. The “student loan forgiveness”, wasn’t “forgiveness”, it was a subsidy to the damned LENDER! Probably a bank. All Duopoly “help” is simply to augment the payments we, increasingly broke non-1%ers, can NOT pay back any other way to Duopoly bosses (banks, HC industry, universities, et al)

            Who funded the Communist revolutions? Think that didn’t take a lot of money?

            The Bankers did – who else? Communism is the attack dog of Capitalism, used to bring traditional regimes into our system. As such, they are one system.

            @rudyspeaks

            Show me where I used the word “commie” or quit trying to put words in my mouth – it’s a standard communist tactic. You sound like an apologist for marxism. Now tell me marxism has nothing to do with communism. More standard playbook. If you had read the books you claim to have read, you would know that socialism is communism lite and that both are based on class warfare, creating a base class by dragging everyone down to their level and killing those too bright to comply. Anyone who has read the communist manifesto and who has listened to the speeches of Klaus Schwab and his acolytes can see that build back better and the great re-set are thinly veiled communism.

            “You will own nothing and be happy.”

            Q: if the people don’t own anything, who does?
            A: The state.

            This is the platform Joe Biden supports and it is no coincidence that the CCP also supports it. That is why I referred to Biden as a communist.

            See if you can find anything about re-distribution of wealth in the communist manifesto or in the global warming hoax.

            Any time you post a political comment on the web, you run the risk of having to defend your opinion against pseudo-intellectual communists who conflate owning a thesaurus with intelligence.

            Done.

          Keeping the border open, negating state attempts to control it.

          Funding the welfare state of illegals.

          Promoting Obamacare.

          Funding the hiring of 87000 new IRS agents.

          Sponsoring a DOJ that promotes the weaponization of the intelligence community against the public.

            Obamacare is not “socialism” FGS(!), it was a way to funnel tax money to the worst rip-off Ruling Class hustle in the west! Took HC from 17.2% of the US GDP to over 18%! (Essentially, twice the world average) 87,000 new IRS agents for an agency that actually announced the end of Upper Class tax audits. They will be sicced on 90%ers! How Bolshevik! The “weaponization” of the “intelligence” (sic) community? Yeah, that’s a Biden move! Ever hear of the Palmer raids? The FBI’s interactions with the Civil Rights movement? The right wing’s butt-hurt whining about mistreatment on Twitter (which IS true) omits the total blackout of any left wing perspective on the MSM. Even mainstream Bernie Sanders was squelched! As far as “illegals”… both ends of the criminal party (Dems & Repubs) avoid the embarrassing question of how they got there! Which is the Party’s attack on Latin America, a policy that never changes… excuse me…ANOTHER policy that never changes.

            Encouraging rampant immigration is a capitalist wet dream.

            Immigrants compete for jobs, driving wages to the bottom, and making it possible for the owners to cut back on safety in the workplace.

            It traditionally was the left that opposed open borders, while the right supported it.

            The self-identified left of today are no more left than self-identified ”women” with penises are women.

            “Commie” is indeed the go-to word of insult for the right the way that “racist” is the go-to word of the self-identified left.

            Maybe both should just switch to “poopy-head”. That way we could elevate the discourse to “You’re a poopy-head!” “No, you’re a poopy-head!”

        I’m sorry to hear that both you and NickelthroweR have lost loved ones to the franken jab. I can only just begin to fathom the grief, then rage over that unnecessary loss.

        • C.O.Jones January 9, 2023 at 11:06 am #

          Thanks, Mick. When you factor in the jab being part of the great re-set, build back better nonsense, it’s apparent that our loved ones are being sacrificed for the greater good of the elites.

          I have no illusions that Biden is in control of anything, much less his bowels. If it works out the way it should, he will be known as the fall guy for the failed communist takeover of the United States. Otherwise, he will be known as the US father of the great re-set and get his demented mug carved in Mt. Rushmore. Either way, he is nothing more than Klaus Schwab’s lickspittle.

          Susan Bradford wrote a book titled The End of Globalism. It’s a dry read but it details Trump’s dealings with and indebtedness to the Rothschilds. I understood, after reading it, why Trump put his daughter in charge of the white house. It gave him more time to tweet to the fleet of bots that comprise an inordinate percentage of Twitter “users.” Anyone who has a gold toilet is far too narcissistic to be taken seriously.

            Yes. Couldn’t agree more. Trump was and is still a big disappointment. If he had been a better man some real good could’ve come out of his ascension to the presidency.

            But he is not a good man. I think even Bannon is seeing this. Steve always said, “He’s a flawed vessel, but we can work with him.” No….he was just too flawed. And compromised.

            The scion of a well-known banking family once told me a family secret. When a certain stage of responsibility and awareness has been reached by a young banker he is taken to a room lined with family portraits in the middle of which is an ornate gilded toilet. Here he comes every day to defecate surrounded by the family portraits until he realizes that money is shit. And what does the money machine eat to shit it out? It eats youth, spontaneity, life, beauty and above all it eats creativity. It eats quality and shits out quantity. There was a time when the machine ate in moderation from a plentiful larder and what it ate was replaced. Now the machine is eating faster much faster than what it eats can be replaced. That is why by its nature money is worth always less. People want money to buy what the machine eats to shit money out. The more the machine eats the less remains. So your money buys always less. This process is now escalating geometrically. If the West does not start a nuclear war first their monetary system will fall apart through the inexorable consumption by the machine of life art flavor beauty to make more and more shit which buys less and less life art flavor beauty because there is less and less to buy. The machine is eating it all. The time must come when money will buy nothing because there will be nothing left for money to buy. Money will eliminate itself.

But they agreed with him on all of it – he was just too caught in rebellion to realize this. They knew the System was doomed, so they decided to destroy it first so they could stay on top in the new order, one of stasis atop the Pyramid – the most stable structure of all.

            They may be more aware than you think, at least some of them. There’s a difference between thinking someone is a hero and simply thinking they’re the best of a very poor bunch. Trump’s flaws are evident to anyone who’s paying attention. But he did at least a few good things as President, and a few good things are still better than no good things. With human beings, we’re usually not heroes or villains – especially in the political arena.

            I wish we had better choices, genuinely honorable people we could trust to represent interests other than their own. As it is, we choose the lesser of various evils.

          Take a look at: dr ana mihalcea substack this is behind paywall but some free posts, goes into blood work with some case studies; perform your due diligence, there are potential risks along with potential benefits from this approach to removing foreign entities injected as part part of the bioweapon .

          It begins with figuring out what is going on, such as where does all that clot material morticians are finding originate. Is it Rouleaux formation (essentially red cell stacking)? Look for references and independent work arriving at similar conclusions.

          Deep dive Karen Kingston’s work including power (energy) source for the artificial entities working in the body (goes to 5G and other sources people are exposed to (hanging preposition, apology for the sloppy style). She also is on Substack.

            The ”clot material” is not what would be expected in terms of a regular red, jelly-like blood clot, which would simply break up & dissolve if handled.
            The white fibrous material being removed — if possible, before enbalming is totally different, and never before seen by physicians or human eyes.
            It is a rubbery, solid material composed of Amyloid fibrils.
            It has been found to fully clog the arteries, veins, capillaries and even Aorta of the heart. It self-assembles, beginning in the Endothelial cells of the cardiovascular system utilizing mRNA nanotechnology. It is often removed from the decedent’s arteries & veins during now exceedingly-rare autopsies; at times nearyl three (3)feet in length; nearly indestructable.
            It is one of many mechanisms of injury now documented pursuant to the ‘spike protein bioweapon.

            Australian Doc had a time lapse video showing it at work making something.

            Dr Ana Mihalcea has photos of strands removed from live patients blood vessels, the color is mixed, also has some before and after photo work. Apparently has had some success.

          • Not_GeorgeT January 10, 2023 at 8:21 pm #

            From what I read, the veins couldn’t be cannulated due to abnormal obstruction. The plan was to do chelation therapy. The target veins were accessed in a manner allowing the the long strands to be removed. Possibly cut-downs, not sure.

          • Not_GeorgeT January 10, 2023 at 8:36 pm #

            I wonder what would happen if IO access were to be attempted. Would it be possible to aspirate bone marrow or would something else appear. The Jamshidi, for example, comes in 15g which might be a reasonable internal diameter for aspirating the bone marrow channel to find out what comes out. I’m not sure of the needle gauge for Cook IO access needles, would need to look it up.

            Please understand, AI was most certainly required pursuant to the *final* design of this bioweapon. However, patents issued by the U. S. Patent Office; said patented methods & procedures thereafter now proven to have been utilized in it’s [the bioweapon] construction, range as far back as 1974.
            That said, and, with the concept of AI — practically speaking, at *that* time- not existing, this ‘project’ could not be completed by the DOD until our current era.
            With that as a backdrop
            — and perhaps a way-too-lengthy one at that, I’ll get to the point:

            Self-assembling of biological materials by means of nanotechnology [requires electron microscope to visualize],as orchestrated via the instructions [read messages] of mRNA placed on-site does not also require additional “AI”.
            To wit: already “baked in”.

          • ViceGrip January 11, 2023 at 7:40 am #

            . . I might also add the following:
            The destructive processes related to the cardiocardiovascular system — discovered to date — in *any* way, shape or form, all begin with the A1 Spike protein lodging in the endothelial cells lining the capillaries, arteries & veins. This endothelial lining is only one (1) cell in thickness. Simply put — because of this fact, there is simply no reversing or mitigating the damage once initiated by the A1 Spike protein — injected by the trillions, and *each* thereafter self-replicating with no “Off” switch.

            There is too little discussion about how to deactivate the SARS-CoV-2 toxins from Pfizer and Co.

            At the same time, the possibility of a large-scale D-dimer study to obtain true statistics on the number of vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia cases is nowhere applied. In addition, a rapid test for vaccine poisoning should be developed. Urinalysis would be the simplest way to detect toxins in vaccinated individuals. A simple urine strip test alone proves whether leukocyte, protein or erythrocyte levels are pathologically altered in vaccinated individuals.

            In urine, all toxins from the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines can be clearly detected and examined. In addition, it could be accurately investigated whether SARS-CoV-2 vaccine moieties are present at the receptors of erythrocytes. In addition, high protein levels in urine could contain spike proteins. Thus, the actual composition of the spike proteins can be studied in detail in the laboratory.

            And finally, it must be investigated how the artificial, toxic spike proteins, the adenovirus mRNA and the messenger RNA sequence from Pfizer can be deactivated.

            The first promising natural remedies are already available for this purpose. Andrographis Paniculata blocks the SARS-CoV-2 spikes and prevents blood clots.

However, unless it’s something truly deadly (always possible with Bill Gates in the mix), I don’t think they will be able to play the same game twice. Too many people are wise to what they are up to.

      I know about his ego, but do you think that maybe he does not see anyone that can defeat him in GOP primaries, or that wants to? One thing to notice about the Speaker debate was the fact that many GOP headliners wanted no part of that job.

      If Trump does not believe in someone, I do not think he will stop his campaign, relying on the primary season to select the candidate.

      IMHO, a consortium of legislators need to fire up an investigation of all aspects of the voting procedures around the country. A good start, how come Arizona allowed the election to continue when a blockage against same day voting occurred. That is blatant, folks.

      The results, the Secretary of State, responsible for the total election, has become the governor, and the officer responsible to the Secretary of State for actually counting the vote is now the Secretary of State.

      Arizona is a Blue State, in spite of Andy Biggs.

      The mechanisms of mail in voting needs to be investigated, not just silly recounts. How is the inclusion of non citizen ballots, just filled in with a phony signature, prevented? How are ballots just filled in in blocks prevented from being counted? How many smoke filled rooms are busy in the cities during the end of the voting day making enough ballots to win? Why are the big cities always the last to report, their systems should be the first to report? What interconnections are being used computer to computer?

      It seems tome that when there was paper voting, results actually came in faster. It makes me very suspicious that a main aim of the Democratic Party is universal mail in ballots, and enfranchisement of all these illegals. Does that make you a little suspicious?

          Voting one day, in person, under the watch of election volunteers, with the counting to be done before anyone leaves.
          If they stop the count, the whole thing is invalid and must be redone.

          Voting won’t get us out of our situation unless the voting happens in state houses everywhere with the voting being about secession. And this happens because state governments get overwhelmed with demands to secede. And those demands come about because the dollar is dead and the public has nothing more to lose and hardly anything to eat. When the public becomes aware of the fact that we are all way to broke to be able to afford a central Washington government. All we’ll be able to support will be state and local governments.

      I say let the women fight Civil War version 2.0. They are wanting to be in service and want to be like men – go for it. Us guys are too lazy, too fat, and too feminized to go to war like our forefathers did. Look at the pics of groups of Civil War soldiers. You’ll see hard serious faces and lean and trim bodies. A Confederate soldier could march for days and then fight. He didn’t need much more than some primitive tasteless food like hardtack and a drink of water to keep him going. Civil wars are known for being very brutal and vicious, as many “family fights” are. Let all these butch women have at it. I’m too tired.

    Was this column a joke? Bolsonaro is a fascist who engineered the legal mugging of both Lula and his VP, both of whom were imprisoned until their cases were exposed as baseless. He gave the Amazon basin to the oligarchs who are destroying it for (transient) cattle ranching, impoverished the already poor majority whom he refers to with racist taunts, and, oh yeah (!), informed a hostile female journalist that the only reason he wouldn’t rape her is that she’s ugly! There’s yer champion, Jim! [the rest of this mess is just by-the-book elementary school anti-communism]

      Yup, good elementary school anti communism!

      What makes you think that Lula will not turn into another Castro inspired Madura, dropping his country into poverty and destroying the western hemisphere’s main access to heavy crude, of which diesel is made.

      • EdD January 9, 2023 at 11:31 am #

        Yep, Lula is obviously another Castro-clone like Madura. He’s supported in the US by the same media trolls who worked 24/7 to dismiss any idea that Biden was simply given the stolen ’20 election.

        To me, that suggests that he serves the same globalist cabal that Biden serves.

      • Islander January 9, 2023 at 11:49 am #

        To me it kind of looks like a toss-up in Brazil.

        Yes, Lula was illegally imprisoned. For that Bolsie gets a very bad mark. But it doesn’t automatically mean that Bolsie should be president.

        JHK seems to be focusing on the relevance of the Brazil situation as a reflection of, or shadow of the somewhat comparable situ in the USA.

        Or, how US commentators are using their own USA narrative and bias (and visceral hatred!!) to describe and interpret what is going on in Brazil.

        That, of course, is not reporting.

        At this point, the fundamental issue IMO is not which guy is better/worse, but the existence of rot in the electoral system so that no one—neither the Brazilians nor anyone else—know which guy The People actually chose.

        That goes for both Brazil and the USA.

        The merit of their choice or of either guy is a whole nother issue.

      • Paula D January 9, 2023 at 12:12 pm #

        Why do I think that Lula is not like Maduro?

        Because the US backs his presidency, whereas with Maduro, they told us the election was stolen and Juan Guaido was actually the president of Venezuela.

        And then they stole Venezuela’s oil revenue and gave it to Guiado, no doubt with a big cut for the Big Guy, or whoever was siphoning off Venezuela’s wealth.

        The Brits, of course, stole Venezuela’s gold, and GAVI blocked the shipment of insulin to Venezuela after Venezuela had already paid for it, causing a shortage in the country.

      • rudyspeaks January 9, 2023 at 12:19 pm #

        #1) Misspelling the name of the object of your own post (Maduro, not MadurA) hardly marks your post as carefully constructed! However, for sheer shallowness, I gotta nominate the “elementary school” logic you use! Your reference to “dropping his country into poverty” (actually Venezuela HAD extreme poverty until it was radically cut by Chavez…look it up) seems to overlook the (get a pencil out, it’s a list!) #1) Incessant economic warfare waged by the world’s largest economy, #2) The theft of Venezuela’s foreign reserves (a Crime, btw!), #3) The theft of Venezuela’s gold (also a crime… keepin’ count?) #4) At least 3 attempts to instigate a coup (also a crime). Since I can’t spend all day playing brain-dead Whack-a Mole, lemme answer EdD (below), who claims the US media “supports” Maduro! Are you insane or just living in some parallel universe? The reference to stolen elections was priceless, however, since your dislike of (elected, in an internationally-supervised election, called the world’s cleanest by the Carter Center)) Maduro. Guaido has less’n 20% NAME RECOGNITION… as opposed to “support”. People just aren’t embarrassed by ignorance anymore!

        • Woodchuck January 9, 2023 at 6:21 pm #

          Hmm. We did all that to Venezuela? No wonder they gave Mr. Sniffy the cold shoulder a while back when he came sniffin’ around for an oil deal. They have a lot of the heavy sour crude that we don’t have – the stuff you need to make diesel and jet fuel.

      rudy, easy.

      Bolso & Lula both want to make Brazil wealthier. One gives the Amazon, what remains, to the oligarchs as you say, cattle ranchers, miners, Monsanto soybean & corn growers. The other, to the Chinese.

      Brazil is a top economy and BRICS founding member. Bolso would probably prefer a closer alignment w the US, but not the “Biden” US. He’s a big buddy of Trump. In neighboring Argentina, Milei is a growing figure, the first serious libertarian candidate, also identifying w Trump.

      Spare us the racism thing. Brazil is not a racist country, cannot be, as big majorities in both factions are black, mulatto, mestizo or Indian. Also sizable German and Italian populations in industrial centers.

      There’s no good guys and bad guys. And there’s really no way for us to really “know” what’s going on. Most all we read is disinformation, in both MSM and “alternative”.

      • Rulo Deschamps January 9, 2023 at 8:06 pm #

        Puerto rico is a country of many races and racism is very prevalent there.

        I spent almost a month in Brazil and I can tell you Rio was a shit show and THE PEOPLE were just racists as anywhere else.
        I spent a week in Fajardo Brazil which is predominantly black and wandered around with zero problems unlike Rio.

        The only place that I have ever been that seemed free of Racism flowing both ways I might add was Grand Cayman the blacks had zero chip on their shoulder there was zero animosity shown on either side.

    Another excellent essay, James. Thank you.

    “One of the definitions of sanity is the ability to tell real from unreal. Soon we’ll need a new definition.” — Alvin Toffler

    With regards to real/unreal, this is a most excellent essay as well. We are being punished for enjoying beauty, and today’s authoritarian woke agenda is not having it.

    Beauty has become our enemy
    We are being punished for desiring the forbidden
    BY DAVID SAMUELS

    “The Calvinist vandals of Geneva, like their latter-day successors in the Taliban, sought to repress the life-force by denying the validity of any experience or standard outside their own fixed notions of virtue.

    The assault on beauty that we are seeing today is more puritan than punk; its authors defend their actions as expressions of the millenarian urgency of their supposedly secular beliefs. When climate activists deface paintings by Monet, Klimpt, Vermeer, Picasso, Van Gogh and others, they are not merely attacking paintings; they are saving the planet. Activists in the United States who tear down sculptures memorialising Confederate war dead are not merely attacking works of art, or rejecting the achievement of peace between warring sectional armies; they are posing as warriors locked in a death-struggle with racism and white supremacy. Putting photographs of overweight women, or trans women, on the covers of men’s magazines is said to be a way of fighting misogyny or saving trans lives, even as it is also obviously a way of expressing contempt for the readers of those magazines and the universe of desire they inhabit.”

    • Rowdypiglet January 9, 2023 at 12:28 pm #

      That was an excellent article. There is an agenda that goes unnoticed even by those promoting and participating in it. I don’t have what it takes to untangle it but one of the aspects is an authoritarian desire to force ugliness on people in every aspect of their lives – particularly in the visual landscape. Confronting us with ugliness at every turn serves the goal of alienating us from our culture and our surroundings, so that we cannot find comfort anywhere, and we look on everything around us with despair.

      I recall reading an article about a beautiful, traditional village that was built in Britain in recent years. Every normal person who saw it praised it and wanted to live in it or something like it. Everyone lucky enough to live there loved it. Every architect and critic mocked it as “chocolate box” and all were seemingly repelled by its “prettiness” which they clearly associated with a class of people they considered deplorable. As an alternative, they offered concrete slabs, devoid of ornament, with minimal (gray) furnishings for elite people of taste and refinement.

      I’ll just point out the execrable wrapping of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris with 25,000 square meters of polypropylene fabric. To quote from the article in Taki’s Magazine:

      “None has claimed that the beauty of the city has been thereby enhanced. It has been called “remarkable,” “amazing,” “bold,” and even “artistic”—O Art, as Marie Antoinette would now exclaim, what crimes are committed in thy name! But no one—at least, no one whose cowardly dithyrambs to this costly, pointless exercise I have read—has called it beautiful. It is a case of the Arc de Triomphe’s new clothes.

      The artist posthumously responsible for this absurdity, Christo, said that the whole point of it was its pointlessness. But if the pointlessness of something is its point, it has a point and is therefore not pointless (a version of the Cretan liar paradox). Of course, the mere fact that something has a point does not make it worthwhile; many points are not worth making.”

      • MaryQueen January 9, 2023 at 12:32 pm #

        Excellently said, RowdyP.

        This is what they are doing, destroying beauty and art. Re-defining it for a new age. And yes, notice that all modern architecture is akin to barracks or jail cells. Cold, devoid of charm or comfort, just ugly.

        JHK is ahead of the crowd in that department too, having his series “eyesore of the month.”

          Jarek,

          Brasilia is that sort of brutalist architecture, with a tropical twist.

          Good Burroughs quote above, BTW. I always dug his dark style and stream of consciousness discharges, and you’re right he came to be an influence in the normalization of “anything goes and nothing matters”, JHK dixit. Along with other “underground” figures like Hunter Thompson, Jim Morrison, the satanists, Tim Leary, the new age transhumanists based in California and Europe, occultists, and a dark stew from whence our shellshocked, angry, perverse culture emerged.

      • Anthea January 9, 2023 at 11:33 pm #

        That same guy, Christo, did the same thing in Kansas City, Missouri, back in the 70s or early 80s. The most important point, as far as I’m concerned, is that the city spent taxpayer money to pay this so-called “artist” to do this. You can bet that the arrangement was just another political grift: Donate to my political party and we’ll pay your “artist” nephew to make a laughingstock of our city.

        In 1979, the city of Kansas City also paid for an “artist” to create huge (about 20′ tall) sculptures of dog shit to adorn the city’s parks. One dogshit sculpture adorned the front of city hall for several weeks. Fitting, but a poor use of taxpayers’ funds.

      I saw in the news this early AM that a former Bronco, Ronnie Hillman, died of a “rare form of kidney cancer” over the weekend. He was 31.

      There seems to be a sudden rise in kidney cancer over the past year and a half. Especially the “rare” type. And fast working type.

      I’m sure it is…….natural. Yeah.

      • C.O.Jones January 9, 2023 at 11:44 am #

        Yeah, Mick – agreeing again.

        I lost a drummer friend who took the jab and 6 months later died of esophageal cancer. Went from just fine to stage 4 and dead in 6 months.

        When I point out the timeline
        feel fine>jabbed>diagnosed stage 4>dead

        I am accused of being a conspiracy theorist. My consolation is that if they keep getting jabbed, soon only the unjabbed will be left.

        • Mick January 9, 2023 at 11:51 am #

            The ‘Spike Proteins’ (hereafter “SP'”) deliverered via the injections [any manufacturer] number in the trillions with each dose.
            They [each SP[ are able to evade the immune system without being detected, by having been placed within a lipid nanoparticle. The specific lipid utilized is called polyethyline glycol [PEG].These trillions of SP, though it having been claimed that they remain at the injection site; don’t, by design. They are carried throughout the body via the cardiovascular system [including lymph], and lodge in *ALL* organ systems. They pass through the blood/brain barrier via the Cribiform Plate. This is a thin porous bone with microscopic-sized holes at the base of brain. Actually, this is nearby the place at which the ‘testing swabs’ are swirled around before removal pursuant to the Covid “Test”.
            But I digress.
            Peer-reviewed research findings which had been published nearly a year ago document SP migration from the injection site to the liver within six (6) hours. SP passes through the placenta to the fetus, thereafter migrating throughout the unborn via the same mechanism.
            SP is emitted from those who have received the injection via what are know as Exosomes. This occurs via bodily fluids — sexual, sweat, touch, and through the breath.
            The SP has been documented to affect non-injected postmenopausal women in their 90’s who begin periods; likewise 6 month old female infants.
            Injected persons ‘vaccinate’ those in proximity via exosomes, which appear to operate surface toxins.
            It has now also been documented — within the past 3 weeks; that, in addition to the SP shedding as above-described, the mRNA is also shedding.

            I have only scratched the surface here in terms of it’s mechanism’s of multigenerational destruction. . . all by design.

            I don’t believe that anyone who has had the experience of not being with a loved one who was dying (in this case because it was so quick that we had to say goodbye over the phone) will ever forgive or forget those who caused it.

            And of course there are the many who were kept out of hospitals and nursing homes while their relatives died alone. The relative of a neighbor whose husband went into the hospital and was effectively killed by the treatment he received not only could not see him in the hospital, but couldn’t find out his condition until they told her he had died and been cremated.

          Toll-like Receptors (TLR’s) are a class of proteins that play a key role in the innate immune system; said system becoming deficient by a factor of 5% per month after the initial delivery of the A1 spike protein ‘payload’. As a consequence thereof, this system is destroyed by a factor of 60% within one year, and completely absent in 20 months.

          In addition to the above (as a back drop), and, among the countless other mechanisms of injury thus-far discovered, there is also the programmed down-regulation of specific Toll-like Receptors.

          Think of them as being like a tollbridge; thus the name.

          These receptors are extraordinarilly vigilant at the first appearance of anything ‘not of the body’, including also any and all precancerous cells [displasia] — anywhere in the body.

          To wit, ‘not of the body’ any more? . . .Off with their heads!

          Out they go!!

          Unfortunately, a glycoprotein of the A1 spike has been programmed to specifically ‘downregulate’ [read ‘turn off] Toll-like receptors TLR4 and TLR7.

          TLR4 and TLR7 were designed by God specifically to rid the body of still-benign precancerous cells before they proceed towards malignancy.

          This is the mechanism whereby cancer’s which had previously been ‘under control’ can no longer be controlled — ever again– all by design.

    The lesson of the McCarthy circle jerk is that the people leading the R side of the UniParty are every bit as brain dead as the people leading the D side. Whatever happens or doesn’t happen to Biden is irrelevant theatre. The big issue remains vax injury. I saw we lost MMS rockstar Victoria Lee over the weekend. 18 years old and in primo shape. Weird that it is so unexplainable. An ODU basketball player went down, too. In a game. Not much about that one. Apparently nobody watches ODU. What’s the betting line on making it through the Super Bowl without another player tragedy? Imagine if something happens in THE BIG GAME ™ with the largest television audience in history. Another blow to the chest? Yeah, probably but if I was on the pro-vax train I think ‘d be going all Timmy Robbins and pretending I was never part of that. The mob is going to be looking for blood.

            Beryl,
            I see, thank you for clarifying and that does make sense. The problem I see tho is it seems with most people, even if it’s shown to be not caused by the Vax, it’s never believed no matter what. So most people assume it’s the vax over that it could be, and even given evidence in cases that it isn’t, they go with the vaccine narrative.

          I disagree with Berenson on that.

          So did a lot of commenters. I posted some stuff on this last time around and got dissed for my trouble.

          I think Berenson mischaracterized what Kirsch said.

          I don’t think Kirsch said anything about the jab. Kirsch stated something to the effect that it would be very unlikely that someone who had no pulse for 9 minutes could escape some level of brain damage.

          This is a perfectly reasonable statement.
          Even though Hamlin did come out of the coma, AFAIK it is far too early to tell whether he has brain damage from lack of blood circulation to his brain.

          • Paula D January 9, 2023 at 8:07 pm #

            But didn’t they immediately start CPR? That is supposed to push blood to the brain.

            Also, if he was successfully defibrillated he would have had a pulse. I don’t know the official story, so I’m only speculating.

          • Paula D January 9, 2023 at 8:32 pm #

            But I take your point about Berenson misquoting Kirsch.

          • Islander January 9, 2023 at 10:16 pm #

            Not sure whether CPR can keep a pulse going.

            Forbes has this:

            “Hamlin received CPR on the field for several minutes as medical staff used a defibrillator to restore his pulse before an ambulance took him from the field to the hospital.”

            A google query gets this:
            “The idea of CPR is not to start the heart beating again, but to get oxygen into a person’s lungs to prevent brain damage. To restart the heart would usually require an electric shock. This is why it’s essential not to give up on CPR before medical help arrives.”

            This implies that CPR was getting blood to Hamlin’s brain.

            Here is Kirsch’s substack:
            httpX://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/the-most-likely-scenario-is-that?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=auto_share&r=o7iqo

            I think it was reasonable for Kirsch to speculate on both the causes and the possible consequences of Hamlin’s collapse, given the situation that we are not getting straight talk from doctors and health officials. And in the current situation of the sudden deaths of so man;y athletes, any NFL player has become a semi-public figure.

            There is a lot more attention on high-profile athletes, with reason. And our “health professionals” are not providing convincing answers or acknowledging the context within which these collapses are occurring.

    Brasil is a mess, and there are no good guys.

    The press uses the term ‘extreme-right’ liberally, but in the case of Bolsonaro it is defensible. Bolsonaro is not just socially conservative, he has contempt for democracy, hinting at rule by the army, and generally worships force.

    On the other hand Lula is a pretty typical third-world leftist grifter who will send Brasil down the slope to Venezuela.

    Well, here is the translation of an article by a Bolsonaro supporter describing brazilian politics of the last few years.

    In 2018, Lula was sentenced to twelve years for corruption and money laundering. The images of his incarceration have gone around the world and mark the memory of all Brazilians. Then suddenly, during the pandemic, the Supreme Court canceled the entire procedure and reverted all the court decisions that found Lula guilty (First instance, Second instance and Superior Court). It does not declare him innocent, it cancels the trial itself on technicalities. The icing on the cake: there is a time limitation for the crimes of which he is accused, Lula can therefore return to the game with peace of mind.

    At the same time, the Supreme Court prides itself on prosecuting all those who criticize it on the grounds of the fight against fake news. In 2019, it launched a mega-investigation into “undemocratic acts” which is nothing more than a witch hunt targeting Lula’s opponents. Deputies in full exercise were incarcerated in defiance of the principle of parliamentary immunity, bloggers imprisoned and others forced to go into exile in the United States, right-wing Youtube channels demonetized, homes of several business owners close to Bolsonaro searched at dawn after having illegally intercepted their exchanges on WhatsApp. Important detail: no legal text authorizes these persecutions, the Constitution and the penal code guaranteeing freedom of expression. And to aggravate the illicit nature of the procedure, the lawyers for the defendants do not have access to files! All of this goes unnoticed during the pandemic, with people stunned by fear of the virus and the media busy lambasting Bolsonaro and his opposition to masks and lockdowns.

    The covid having ebbed, the last phase of Lula’s “come back” project is being put in place. We are at the beginning of the year 2022 and the Supreme Court is issuing several fatwas declaring absolutely inviolable the electronic ballot boxes that will be used during the presidential election in October. Better still, it prohibits anyone from auditing them, starting with the candidates or the competent public authorities. The press under orders of course relays the message and accuses all skeptics of being conspiracy theorists and negationists. When Bolsonaro exhibits a report issued by the authorities which manage the elections in Brazil and which attests to a proven “hacking” in 2018 is ignored by journalists.

    The sequence of events boils down to the acceleration of the vexatious and clearly illegal measures inaugurated in 2019. The campaign takes place in a surreal climate where it is forbidden, under penalty of a fine, to remind voters of Lula’s criminal record. The judges go so far as to take a campaign calling for polio vaccination off the air on the grounds that it could create sympathy for the Minister of Health, an ally of Bolsonaro.

    On October 30, Lula ended up winning the elections with 50.90% of the vote. This is tight for all the boosts he has received.

            He found employment with the Villares Metalworks in São Bernardo do Campo, an industrial suburb of São Paulo. At Villares he joined the Metalworkers’ Union, and in 1972 he left the factory to work for the union full-time, heading its legal section until 1975 when he was elected union president. That post brought him national attention as he launched a movement for wage increases in opposition to the military regime’s economic policy. The campaign was highlighted by a series of strikes from 1978 to 1980 and culminated in Lula’s arrest and indictment for violations of the National Security Law.

      PAKISTAN PORT CITY GWADAR SHUTDOWN OVER PROTESTS: Pakistan’s port city of Gwadar, a key link in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, was shut down by authorities as part of a crackdown after weeks of protests in the city. Government security officials began a blackout on mobile and internet communications on 28 December but have since lifted the cellular network restrictions. However, internet services have yet to be restored. The shutdown comes as Pakistan’s capital of Islamabad faced food riots over the weekend. Pakistan’s finance minister is currently meeting with International Monetary Fund officials in Geneva in an attempt to get $1.1 billion in relief funds released to the country. Currently, Pakistan only has enough foreign exchange reserves to cover one month of imports. (AC: Pakistan is traveling the same road as Sri Lanka, except that it is also battling two active insurgencies while trying to maintain the security of its nuclear arsenal. Pakistan is essentially insolvent, and its economy can no longer sustain the country. Lacking further bailout assistance from the IMF and China, expect Pakistan to enter failed state status.

      The Paki’s are nuclear armed, violently disposed towards their neighbors, and, some say, crazy as a shit-house rat…

        E. Pakistan had those floods, which didn’t help uplift the GDP any. It looks like the IMF is stepping in with a $10 billion emergency loan; that’ll stabilize the situation for awhile anyway.

        Another country in dire straits is Lebanon. As a former French colony you’d think France would get involved, but no. Ironically enough, purported enemies Iran & Israel have cooperated to provide enough aid to Lebanon to at least keep Lebanese citizens from starving & freezing to death this winter.

        • Rulo Deschamps January 9, 2023 at 9:02 pm #

          BRH,

          Lebanon and Greater Syria, in Ottoman times, towards the end of the Pashas during WW1, suffered one of the most horrific famines in history. Mr K wrote about unsustainable population levels in the near and Middle East, considering barren soils, little water, populations only made possible by easy energy.

          This was around the time of the Armenian death marches. The few that made it to state mandated exile in the deserts of Syria (which included Lebanon and Palestine) died of starvation there.

          Around that time, TE Lawrence of Arabia was raising an Arab army to accomplish one of the greatest military upsets in recent history, defeating the Ottomans and kicking them out of the Arabian peninsula… with its rich energy reserves, later developed by the US and Britain.

          • BackRowHeckler January 10, 2023 at 6:54 am #

            Interesting bit of history there, Rulo. TE Lawrence is such an interesting character; unfortunately, today he is largely remembered for being the guy to point to when promoting the use of motorcycle helmets. I have a book around here “War in the Garden of Eden”, by Kermit Roosevelt, one of TRs sons who served in the British army in the Middle East — he touches upon the events you mention in your post.

          • Islander January 10, 2023 at 7:34 am #

            Personally I wouldn’t view Kermit Roosevelt as a reliable source on the ME.

            It was he who engineered the coup against Prime Minister Mossadegh and his government in Iran.

            Mossadegh had moved to nationalize Iran’s oil wealth for the advantage of Iranians and also develop the country for the same reason.

            Kind of like Hugo Chavez, except Mossadegh came from a different social stratum as Chavez.

            there is an excellent documentary on the coup, in which Mossadegh.

            “Mosaddegh was imprisoned for three years, then put under house arrest until his death and was buried in his own home so as to prevent a political furor.[12][13] In 2013, the U.S. government formally acknowledged the U.S. role in the coup, as a part of its foreign policy initiatives, including paying protestors and bribing officials.[14]”

            Don’t you love that term “foreign policy initiatives” for overthrowing dem.. elected govs?

          • BackRowHeckler January 10, 2023 at 11:27 am #

            Islander, that was Kermit Ii. Many of TRs decendants went to work for the OSS & CIA. I’m talking about Kermit, TRs 3rd son, who ended up committing suicide in Alaska in 1945.

    Mr. Kunstler grapples with the latest misdeeds of leftists.

    i’ve just been reading Ted Kaczynsky’s opus, “Industrial Society and Its Future.”

    Kaczynsky writes a clear and accurate description of the psychology of the left. It’s quite useful in understanding “how they roll.”

    For brevity, see paragraphs 6-23 and 219-232.

    Really i kept thinking — this guy has read all of Ayn Rand, and has dissected the psychological basis of her plots and characters.

    When you learn that kaczynski was a genius level mathematician, so much about his life becomes logical, even inevitable.

    The wikipedia (ptui) bio is useful, especially about the marxist style radical-deconstruction mind control operation he was subjected to.

        You know K-Dog, I don’t point out towels on heads for regular people of the Islamic faith. Meaning, people who are not in politics.

        (I mistakenly said Talib, when I was actually picturing in my mind Ms. Omar, who wears the Hijab)

        Ms. Omar however, wears that headgear to make a religious statement as a politician. Yet, she had a year or so long affair with her campaign manager who was married to another woman with kids, and while she herself was married. He divorced his wife to be with Omar, much to his now ex-wife’s shock.

        Last time I checked the religion of Islam forbids adultery. If she were in an Islamic country she’d….well I think you know.

        So, her wearing her religion on her head is just a mockery. Or a hypocritic symbolism over substance exercise. He adulterous affair wrecked a marriage with children.

        So, she is a towel head hypocrite. No apologies.

        • Mick January 9, 2023 at 1:42 pm #

          ….and Ms. Omar can’t even be a true liberal, much less a true Muslim.

          From Chris Hedges’ latest post on the 8th:

          “Our political class does not govern. It entertains. It plays its assigned role in our fictitious democracy, howling with outrage to constituents and selling them out. The Squad and the Progressive Caucus have no more intention of fighting for universal health care, workers’ rights or defying the war machine than the Freedom Caucus fights for freedom. These political hacks are modern versions of Sinclair Lewis’s slick con artist Elmer Gantry, cynically betraying a gullible public to amass personal power and wealth. This moral vacuity provides the spectacle, as H.G. Wells wrote, of “a great material civilization, halted, paralyzed.” It happened in Ancient Rome. It happened in Weimar Germany. It is happening here…”

    The truth is more that Mr. Lula is another Hugo Chavez, poised to wreck Brazil with a fresh attempt at nationalizing all enterprise, ramping up a Marxist police state

    No, Lula was the first former worker to become president of Brazil, and he governed the country for two consecutive terms (2003 until 2006, and from 2007 until 2011).

    Thinking Lula is going to wreck the country is sclerosis dementia. Which is not really a thing but it is appropriate.

    Popular Christianity, an early and enduring influence for Hugo Chávez, informed his deep commitment to justice and the equality as well as his generosity and forgiveness of adversaries.

    People who don’t troll for the deep state know this.

      About 1.5 million Venezuelans learned to read and write thanks to Chávez and his literacy campaign. Free access to health care was ensured for all

      In Venezuela the number of doctors increased, infant mortality rate fell, and average life expectancy increased.

      But since Chávez was using the proceeds of American Oil to fund the social change he had to be taken out.

      • Mick January 9, 2023 at 12:37 pm #

          That was epic!
          But that’s probably when they gave him the cancer that killed him.

          Hugo walked the streets of Germany when there was some sort of international meeting there, going into bars and hanging with regular people.

          Bush stayed on a ship, surrounded by US military, with the streets leading to it blocked off to regular people.

      I don’t like to see dumping here on Hugo Chavez.

      His death was very suspicious. He openly defied the international PTB and was a proud man of the people. .

      He was a genuine man of the people, a mestizo, a combo of Amerindian, Afro and Spanish. .

      I believe he was the first leader of Venezuela who was not from the mainly Spanish upper class.

      Those who opposed him and his program to redistribute Venezuela’s oil wealth to the poor—who supported the Guaido farce— were upper-class white(ish) Venezuelans who felt entitled to their class’s hold on power.

      Chavez was not a savvy economist nor an international chess player type (like Putin), but he could smell a rat when he was near one. He outraged TPTB when he called them out at the UN. After that his days were numbered.

      When I heard that he had been diagnosed with cancer it was a similar feeling to when I learned that Paul Wellstone had been killed in a plane crash in October 2002—“How convenient!”

      Maduro as Chavez’s successor has struggled to keep V’la on an even keel, under constant political and economic attack by the USA . He does not have Chavez’s power and popularity. But he did stand up to the foreign and domestic Guaido puppeteers.

        • Islander January 9, 2023 at 6:59 pm #

          Pretty soon we all might ahve to poach eggs to get any at all.

          Today, no eggs whatsoever in the supermarket. Instead, a sign announcing “Supply chain issues.”

          It was the same deal last week.

          Fortunately on my way back from Town X on a fruitless mission to get the 4G flip phone that Verizon owes me, I remembered that I would be passing a spot where they sell eggs from a fridge in the backyard for $7/dozen. They still had two cartons.

          My niece-in-law is convinced that a coyote has been ‘poaching” her flock. So, no eggs there.

          Yahoo says this:
          “f you’ve had trouble finding eggs at your local grocery store, you’re not alone. Stores around the nation are experiencing a shortage, and have for some time. The primary reason is a spreading avian flu, reducing poultry flocks while driving up the price of eggs. In Colorado alone, some 6 million chickens have been euthanized.”

          Wow. Did all of those chickens really need to be killed? What happened to the corpses? Is this another plandemic to deprive us of real food?

          • Woodchuck January 9, 2023 at 7:36 pm #

            Millions upon millions of chickens are crammed together in unhealthy conditions in giant farms and pumped full of various ag drugs. Its well known that disease can spread rapidly among populations of critters this close together. It happens in the wild when the populations of prey species are too close to each other. Of course it will happen on farms as well. I grew up in an old neighborhood where every other home had a derelict chicken house in the back yard. When home refrigerators became standard in every home, people quit raising them and bought chicken and eggs at the grocery stores. Us kids played in the old chicken coops, they made great forts that we defended with cap pistols. The gals used them as play houses instead of forts. And after our food supply system fails badly enough (famine usually happens when your government is taken over by commies), then the backyard chicken houses will be coming back. Instead of watching trash on tv or arguing with trolls on CFN, we’ll be feeding and caring for chickens. Just like we did in the US up until the 50’s when everything changed.

            Well, Pfizer needs to develop an mRNA vax for the chickens to help them not die, or end up in the ICU on ventilators!

            But, like with humans it won’t ‘stop the spread’. And then the chickens will start dropping dead from clot and other vax injuries.

            Never mind.

            i had my own freerange (during the daytime) chickens years back. i really loved them, not individually but as a flock. they were a little village.

            i’d have them again, but the winters here are to cold to want to go out twice a day and bang the ice out of the water pans and check on them.

        @ Night Owl – yes, and a transparent attempt to re-write history. If you watched the video of Ruby Freeman and her daughter on election night in Atlanta, you will forever remember them rolling out suitcases full of unfolded ballots and repeatedly running them thru the machines. This was after someone jammed a roll of toilet paper in a men’s room toilet, flushed until water ran out on the floor and then declared a “water main break” so the location had to be shut down and have its windows covered while activity inside the building continued thru the night.

        There are articles on the web saying all of this never happened.

        The courts of this once great land refused to hear the evidence on the basis of “no standing.”

        The people, like Sidney Powell, who tried and failed to have the evidence viewed by the courts and the public have been sued into oblivion.

    A motorcyclist turned into pink mist the other day after slamming into a viaduct support. Reports are he was vaccinated.

    Also an 89 year old former coal miner and lifetime smoker was diagnosed with lung cancer and passed away. But only after getting jabbed.

    A stunt performer at a roadside zoo was killed when the hippo he was training became suddenly aggressive. He was recently vaccinated and the theory is that the hippo detected is unpure blood and was fearful of cross contamination.

    What amazes me is the power of the Mighty Wurlitzer to control the minds of the population.

    So now people protesting the election in Brazil are Bad People, just like the ones in the US on Jan. 6th.

    But before this every Color Revolution was based on elections that the US declared were fake and rigged, from the Rose Revolution in Georgia in 2003 to the Orange Revolution in Ukraine in 2004 (that one really pissed me off, since it came only weeks after the stolen 2004 US election, in which we were told ”exit polls are not reliable”, but in Ukraine we were told “exit polls showed the election was stolen. Who would be stupid enough to fall for that??? The US public) to the 2009 Green Revolution in Iran to the 2019 US-backed government overthrow in Bolivia that wasn’t assigned a color to the no-color uprising in Nicaragua in 2019 to the attempted coup in 2019 in Venezuela to the Slipper Revolution in Belarus in 2020 to the Kazakhstan attempt in Jan. 2022.
    Oh, and the Umbrella Revolutions in Hong Kong.

    But now we are told that protesting a stolen election is a Bad Thing, right up until the US wants to overthrow another government, at which point it will be a Good Thing, and the majority of Americans will follow right along without a hint of cognitive dissonance. Because it takes cognitive ability to have cognitive dissonance.

    • K-Chien January 9, 2023 at 1:05 pm #

      Actually Paula D, they are bad people. BozoNero is a POS.

      Bolsonaro enables the killing of opponents. The border of far-right is murder and Bozo is there.

      • Paula D January 9, 2023 at 1:45 pm #

        My point was not about Bolsonaro though, it was about the sudden declaration that elections cannot be rigged, although the US spent the last 20 years overthrowing elections of which it disapproved.

        And my future annoyance when uppity citizens of another country disobey the US and vote for someone unapproved for president, and we are told “The election was rigged and the protesters are valiant freedom fighters”.

        I just really hate hypocrisy and double standards. Also I hate stupidity.

        • K-Chien January 9, 2023 at 1:55 pm #

          There have been countries where only one person ran in an election, yet the process of getting it done right really mattered. Some people take voting seriously.

      An excellent rundown of the “heads I win, tails you lose” deploiyment of “protest” by the US govt.

      Re the Great Wurlitzer, Dr. Mercola has an excellent video up today with a British academic who specializes in Propaganda Studies, Piers Robinson, asserting that the Covid-19 propaganda effort was international and the biggest propaganda campaign in history.

      Plenty of visuals to support his contention on the use of guilt- and fear-inducing slogans in March 2020 to effect behavioral change—you will recognize them all.

        I forget where I saw it, but someone commented that people who state that the goal is a one world government seem to have not noticed that there must already be some sort of one world government, because almost every country in the world was in lockstep (so to speak).

        WTF? Lockdowns, plastic shields, blue facemasks clogging up the oceans, media propaganda, social media censoring, government dictates….and then the vaxes.
        Someone issued those orders. And non-compliant governments were punished, like the president of Tanzania, who tested a goat and a papaya to prove that the PCR tests were bogus. He died of “covid” and his vice-president, a WEF stooge, promptly reversed his orders.

        President Luchanshenko of Belarus testified that he was offered $1 billion by the IMF if he would go along with the program.
        He refused and promptly faced a color revolution. Luckily he survived, because Russia helped him.

        The president of Haiti reputedly refused to push the Pfizer GMO product. He was murdered outright (none of that cancer or covid cover for him.)

        But maybe there isn’t some mysterious Sauron ruling Earth. Maybe it’s just the bankers at the IMF and their buddies at Big Pharma.

          Well, per my post below (see the link to all the contracts) the DoD has been in charge of this op from the beginning, starting in 2013.

          I am having a hard time actually locating the interview referred to here, but here is the text I received in an email from a friend:

          “Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD
          Jan 8 · Dr. Ana’s Newsletter

          I just finished watching Sasha’s latest interview. Although I know about this issue, it still makes me nauseated. Take 17 minutes out of your life and watch this brilliant expose. The entire C19 operation was a Pentagon run show planned by a secretive Cabal since 2013. The trials and FDA approval was smoke in mirrors. Please watch and share.

      • Not_GeorgeT January 9, 2023 at 9:05 pm #

        I certainly lost count before I got started. All those billion$ of US taxpayer dollar$ making debt slaves of many future generations really had my math mind spinning.

        I figure the Russians likely have an idea how many weapons made it to the Western border of Ukraine since they have an idea how many they are blowing up with missiles, artillery, drone attacks, air strikes, etc.

        (Does it look like confetti made from U$D when the result of combustion and detonation are overcome by force of gravity and return to earth?)

        Surely some make it through. Do they populate an arms bazaar?

        If I were prone to headaches I’d have a massive one trying to add in the ones from the Afghan arms market.

        Does the 3-letter agency which operated Air America currently either engage or facilitate in moving weapons systems?

        Could there be proxies involved?

        Maybe at some point we’ll find out.

        Stay tuned, it’s unrolling (or unravelling) in present time.

        Meanwhile… many, many people in the US still think the Russian Federation is the aggressor in the territory formerly known as Galicia, feting the penile piano player allegedly running the disaster there.

        I wonder if Churchill could perform such a party trick.

    Late to the party today Jim, needed a few more hours at work, sorry.

    Always a great work of art you put out twice a week, thank you. In your last paragraph you state that the new congress might get a little work done in getting rid of the brain-dead career criminal in charge. While it is always my position that our corrupt, criminal government never gets anything of value accomplished, this time you have a point, because getting one or both of the Obamas into positions of power again is clearly, at least IMHO, very much desired by the real owners of America.

    Those two bags of human waste could actually achieve the total collapse of our nation because they are “so pretty” and dimwits LOVE pretty things, don’t they? At least enough of the dimwits do and would follow them right over the cliff with shouts of praise and joy.

    “Insurrections galore spark off all of a sudden, and 2023 was just born days ago!”

    What causes ‘Insurrection’? When people are PISSED. And today, we have all kinds of reasons to be royally pissed off. Human beings will take a certain amount of discomfort or being dissed and dislocated and depleted… and once that level is reached we go from Dissed to Pissed.

    And when people get pissed? Along come The Saviors. The Ones who will make things all right if they were just given the chance. The Ones with The Answers. Sure. Right. Like all the saviors that have emerged before. And still, we end up right here and now with THIS?

    The question is… what happens to all this anger that is percolating in this great big World Soup Pot of Being Aggravated and Aggrieved? And will that result makes things better or worse once the big boiling bubbles simmer down a bit and we see just how scalded we all became from all the Bubbling Over? Ever watch a boiling pot? That pot looks mad. Really mad. And a bit out of control. And it is too hot for anyone to handle.

    “… the US Swamp endured a rebellion in the House of Representatives last week.”

    It’s nice that the House Rebels were able to extract some concessions from the UniParty RINO Cabal. But it’s not nice that these concessions will not be followed or enforced by the Rinocabal and their DemoFriends. But these were nice window-dressings to give the Rebels something shiny to show the folks back home.

    “One example of this despotic malice… is the open border with Mexico that has enabled millions of unvetted migrants to enter the USA illegally… Joe Biden traveled down to the border last weekend in a pretend show of concern… They stupidly took him for a photo op to one of the few places on the border where he wouldn’t have to actually witness mobs crossing the Rio Grande…”

    Why right there is the answer to the Big Porous Border Problem! Just let Resident Biden take up full-time residence there and POOF! No more border problem! He can enjoy some good Tex-Mex (or some Taco Soup) and give the poor abused Border Agents a break from not being allowed to enforce the United States border all by themselves.

    And maybe these Agents can stay home for a while and enjoy a nice big bowl of spicy bubbling soup. Hope it doesn’t boil over too much first.

    “With Democracy….everyone must be fully politicized at all points and in all activities for every possible party position. Democracy requires that everyone must constantly live and breathe politics. Otherwise, one side will inevitably dominate and centralize the other…….

    …….This is not a sustainable nor a desirable condition. We are not meant to be politicized constantly, which the rule-by-many requires for any semblance of balance. Which is why the leftists are succeeding in bringing us under a rule-by-few, where they are the “few”.

    Leftists dedicate their entire life to politics. They live, breathe, eat, and sleep their politics. Most conservatives start and end it at the voting booth every two years. Given this information, there should be little surprise why one side has won, and the other has lost.

          i could swear, i am completely certain that riverrunner said most sniffily that he was departing and never would return to our based company.

          so we must have been transported to some fabulous past era when riverrunner made his regular gracious and welcome appearance.

    Just an aside. I think the Chinese prefer to build secret military bases in the minds of their opponent. Bases such as tapes and videos. So I doubt they will build physically in Brazil. Besides, who is to say the Panama canal is not one already?

    Anyway, No more predictions from me on the USA.

    Uh-oh…Jimmy’s slide into dementia accelerates….I picture him foaming at the mouth while furiously punching the keys on today’s missive ….
    Speaking of uh-oh…..y’all need to do some ‘splainin as your ghoulish fascination(hope?) w Hamlin’s condition has fallen flat.
    And finally, it’s nice to see Jimmy taking sides with Bolsonaro’s thugs as they ransack government buildings and throw a Brazilian hissyfit. I’m surprised he didn’t mention those dastardly devils, antifa, behind the whole thing or it being orchestrated by the likes of Soros, the Obamas, Hillary, the deep state, blah, blah, blah.

    “For the moment, Mr. Lula borrows a page from the American Left’s playbook for destroying a society.” Do elaborate on this insane sentence that means nothing. “A communist takeover!!” Jeezus, Jimmy, you sound like a screeching weasel straight outta OANN.

    And finally…jumping on the impeachment bandwagon…what exactly will that accomplish for the American people? How will that help them? What’s the impeachable offense in your harried imagination? Dear gawd….what a trainwreck of a post by our demented ‘host.’

            It’s interesting to consider how the NPCs got that way.

            In some cases, it’s almost pure self-interest. I grew up a few miles from Lake City Arsenal, back in the sixties. At that time, it offered the most secure and well paying jobs in the area, so it was of course anathema to question whether the Viet Nam War was a good thing–even if a lot of the boys in the area were coming home in body bags, an objective reality that was automatically rejected. Also, many people in the area really were not all that bright.

            But I think most of us have met other types of NPCs–the kind who, as best you can tell, really aren’t fully human. There’s no core “person” there; there is only the programming. As one of my friends put it, “You’re knocking on the door, and there’s nobody home.”

      • Anthea January 10, 2023 at 6:38 am #

        @ stelmosfire & riverrunner:

        Karl Denninger has provided us with a kind of diagnostic tool for riverrunner and his co-religionists. It’s over on tickerforum dot org, under the title of “The Modern NPC.”

        Denninger describes and NPC as a “programmed automaton,” like ChatGPT–that is, a sort of machine that operates as a “pattern-matching device” that cannot operate outside the parameters of its programming–the “garbage-in, garbage-out” phenomenon. As Denninger observes, “If that’s what you are in any particular domain of your existence then you are an NPC — not a thinking being.”

        In other words, there is no real thought going on with riverrunner. He is probably incapable of thought. What he offers is the mere regurgitation of assorted programmed fantasies–stuff he has been programmed to repeat. (I wouldn’t go so far as to say that it’s stuff he’s been programmed to “think,” as there is no actual thought going on here.)

        Riverrunner cannot consider or evaluate Jim’s points; to do so would go against his programming, and is beyond those habits of thought that are purely mechanical.

        Denninger points out that even a cat or a dog is capable of a higher order of thought: “They are curious enough and have enough out-of-scope processing capacity to attempt to solve [a] problem even though nothing in their natural environment has given them a pattern to match in that regard….”

        So…. A cat or a dog can do it, but not riverrunner, who is an NPC. “Said things may look like intelligent beings but are not in that they have a base of information and either refuse to engage or are incapable of synthesis beyond that.”

        It’s interesting to speculate as to how the likes of riverrunner got that way. Is it innate mental deficiency, or rigorous training? Or is their refusal to acknowledge or consider objective facts and reality that go contrary to their programming mostly just a matter of (perceived) self-interest: “I refuse to consider particular facts or realities because, if true, that means I’m fucked.”

        So you get comments from riverrunner like the above: products of the media fantasy factory’s “garbage-in” function, characterized evasions of objective reality.

        Look at riverrunner’s comment: It’s a bunch of fantasies strung together.

        • Woodchuck January 10, 2023 at 10:37 am #

          Let’s give RR a break. He’s simply following orders and doing what his elementary school teachers taught him to do. To sit down, remain in the same spot for most of the day, and to repeat and believe everything he’s been told. He’s been to obedience training school, and has been made into a good doggie that obeys his masters. He thinks inside the school box they put him in, and the school hypnosis is working well, as it’s been doing with most people. The school system has now replaced the old church authorities that made the lives of children everywhere so regimented, sour, and dour in the “old days”. In Huckleberry Finn’s era, children had autonomy and went out and played their own games and had their own secret clubs and gangs. Not anymore. Today, there’s always a helicoptering adult buzzing around, making sure not one single independent thought or movement enters their world. . Instead of being confined in Sunday school once a week, kids are confined in schools and other buildings all week long, with adults hovering over them 24 hrs a day. What a damn nightmare we’ve created for ourselves! Look at how we abuse our children, and now we are killing them with shots.

          Our world sucks big time, and deep down we may be unconcerned about a nuclear holocaust on the way because we don’t enjoy being alive in such a crazy system to start with. The child devouring Moloch and Baal that ancient Israel ran out of their territory – is still here. The materialists will say that there is no Baal, and in the next moment will engage in Baal worship. Go figure.

          • Woodchuck January 10, 2023 at 11:19 am #

            Replying to myself, and I wonder how many people even have a clue as to what I’m talking about? I do know there are people on this forum old enough to understand.

            Years ago, JHK’s criticisms of modern suburbia made me think about my own experiences growing up in what I call semi-suburbia. We had houses on large lots because they were built in the first half of the 20th century, lots were big enough to make room for gardens and chicken houses, and this included the upscale homes. And mixed into this arrangement were vacant lots and fields and woods. We had toy guns and Western outfits and re-enacted Western dramas we saw on tv, We really did play “cowboys and Indians”. On a family vacation to an Indian reservation tourist place, I got my first head dress with feathers and a toy tomahawk. And I dressed up at age 5 and left home to go out in the woods and do battle. I also had toy cap guns, chaps, and spurs – and we rode imaginary horses. At age four to six there would be groups of us after dark in summer going about the neighborhood catching fireflies and placing them in glass jars we were carrying around, had lids on ’em with holes poked so the air could get in for the bugs. We’d come home with a jar full of flashing bugs, we’d been outside after dark ALL BY OURSELVES AND WITH NO ADULT SUPERVISION! But this was 1952, not 2022. We played ball games by ourselves on vacant lots, we rode bikes about the neighborhood with no whining and fearful adults following us around and putting helmets on us. God only knows how we survived eh, and our parents were abusing us by letting us experience autonomy? The first times in our lives when one’s consciousness truly expands is when we as children are out on our own with our peers and we are experiencing successful self direction, creativity, and self consciousness on the steps to adulthood. Dropping acid later in college is NOT going to do that. The backdrop for these type early-growing-up-experiences happened on small town streets and in small town vacant fields and woods, not in big urban sprawl areas with traffic everywhere. We’ve created a very toxic environment that is about to fail in spectacular manner. It’s not fit for children or dogs to grow up in, and its certainly not worth defending militarily.

            And the experiences I’m writing about have all been removed from our popular culture. The young people in our society are having a terrible time. They are growing up as prisoners confined in buildings with fences, guards, and confused and sick adults around them. Go look at a typical elementary school right now, a school cop or two on guard, front doors locked with security procedures involved to get in, chain link fences around it. What the hell? What’s wrong with us? Who thought this was a good idea? Many young people are so confused they don’t know their own gender, and basically have a synthetic identity. Our school and automobile culture is producing widespread mental illnesses, and that’s also why this culture’s days are numbered. Destroy your own families and children and you destroy yourselves and your own nations. This ship is goin’ down, and I don’t think people care anymore because they are having a really terrible voyage anyway.

            How about that six year old boy who shot his Oppressor, his “teacher”? He has admitted it. It was no accident. A little psychopath or a hero of the Fatherland? Perhaps it depends on how we react to it, eh?

            @ Woodchuck:

            I had the same kind of childhood. We used to walk or bicycle about four miles to the next town, because there was a restored fort there, Fort Osage, which overlooks the Missouri River from a high bluff. On the way back, we would stop for something to drink at a little store attached to a honey farm, which had a few tables and sold drinks and snacks.

            We walked there during the years in which we were too young to ride bicycles.

            We spent a lot of time climbing trees, or just sitting in trees, or exploring the woods and fields. We often organized baseball games.

            We were almost completely without adult supervision all summer.

            I was lucky enough to be able to raise my own kids the same way.

    If you are confident the vaccines are safe and effective, then why isn’t okay to question the causality if one particular adverse event happens, such as it did live on tv?  No one says a vaccine is 100% without some rare adverse reaction happening on occasion, so why is not ok to speculate that it could have occurred from the shot?
    If you’re confident in the efficacy of the vaccines, why wouldn’t you remain objective instead of feeling some kind of pressure coming from the ‘counter-narrative’ and lashing out?
    Unless you’re just here to create conflict.

      I doubt Barry-O is interested in having a real job. He used the Presidency as a stepping stone to become a celebrity. Why shuffle papers in the Oval Office when he could be hot-tubbing with Richard Branson and Scarlett Johansen?

      Big Mike as the first black tranny President? It would be “history-making”, but I expect he prefers a live of unaccountable irresponsibility like his wife Barry.

      The Hildebeast as VP? Only as a quick step to the top job: the Presidency, then (if the position is still open) Antichrist.

        The underestimation of Barry O continues. This is what he wanted. Power behind the scenes. He’s running things for the Globalists here – and he has shown great ability at the work of destruction. And yes, he is enjoying every minute of it. You don’t begrudge a man the enjoyment of his work, do you? That’s like something a female tyrant does.

            What KesaAnna did not seem to realize, or perhaps did not care about, was the difference in punctuation conventions for English and German.

            She would add a space after an opening quotation mark or before a closing one. If the computer is set up for default-English, that confuses it so the quotes come out bass-ackward. One suspects that most of her typing is in German so she doesn’t bother to shift over to English convention.

            Ditto for the unnecessary space before full stops and question marks. It’s only disturbing if you pay attention to the details, and since I’m paid to pay attention I found it annoying.

            I just remembered a priceless gag from about three years ago. Some wag employee at Microsoft inserted a “bon mot” into Autocorrect on Word:

            If you type in “I’d like to see Bill Gates dead”, then text on the screen would automatically come back with “I’ll drink to that”.

            One presumes this was a guy or gal already heading out the door – giving a parting shot / middle finger to Mister Big.

          I probably drove her away by making fun of her unwillingness to admit the deadly nature of the vax. It’s not that she’s afraid (she’s vaxed), she just wants to focus on the the Treaty of Westphalia and the epaulets worn by Russian officers pre-Communist rule. All this covid crap bores here, thus it isn’t real.

    “We have no poor houses in the Colonies; and if we had some, there would be nobody to put in them, since there is, in the Colonies, not a single unemployed person, neither beggars nor tramps.”

    His friends could not believe their ears, and even less understand this fact, since when the English poor houses and jails became too cluttered, England shipped these poor wretches and down-and- outs, like cattle, and discharged, on the quays of the Colonies, those who had survived the poverty, dirtiness and privations of the journey. At that time, England was throwing into jail those who could not pay their debts. They therefore asked Franklin how he could explain the remarkable prosperity of the New England Colonies. Franklin replied:

    “That is simple. In the Colonies, we issue our own paper money. It is called ‘Colonial Scrip.’ We issue it in proper proportion to make the goods pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner, creating ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power and we have no interest to pay to no one.” — Benjamin Franklin

      My reaction is that I think it is very interesting, surprising while at the same time not surprising, and also frightening as to what they could be planning for us in their secretive dens. I have never heard of the injections being a prototype countermeasure before so that is new. It certainly would mean that the shots were entirely experimental in every way. It makes me wonder if it really is mrna tech or not. What if it is something else altogether? Like the nano materials that form the stringy calamari like things that clog up the veins and arteries?

      • Islander January 10, 2023 at 7:55 am #

        If Sasha’s info is true, I see a plan.

        A plan either formulated by the DoD or formulated elsewhere and “inserted” into the DoD to execute.

        Of course Big Pharma made out big on the plan.

        They are obviously part of the MIC, tapping coffers filled by taxpayers.

        But to me it looks like “the plan” was and is driving the operation.

        • gustafson.robert.22 January 10, 2023 at 10:30 am #

          A plan… but what is the plan? Is it depopulation?

          I’m thinking it’s “control” as GA says below, but opportunistically, under the guise of biological warfare preparedness with so many mechanisms already in place, just waiting to be used… for… moneymaking and pushing a heavily invested-in, profit-potential rich, and medically questionable technology (mRNA) through, past the FDA, by this mechanism.

          It seems more likely to me there was some hope for a fast, miraculously good or at least benign, outcome for mRNA drugs without a testing period, moreso than for a depopulation plan.

          • GreenAlba January 10, 2023 at 11:14 am #

            Wishful thinking, Robert. Of course you don’t want there to be a depop plan – who would?
            Gates has already sterilised a huge number of women very deliberately with his tetanus ‘vaccines’. The man hasn’t even the shadow of a medical qualification, but he is obsessed with ‘vaccines’ and ‘pandemics’, as well as being obsessed with population reduction.
            How many dots do you need before you can start joining any of them?
            Not that he’s even the instigator. Like Schwab, he’s a very wealthy messenger boy whose ideas happen to confirm to The Plan.

            Actually, I’d like a (open and publicly intentional) depopulation plan.

            I tend to think the WEF depopulationists like Gates were only a piece of the Covid puzzle. Another layer greasing the wheels, laying the infrastructure, so to speak. Until proven otherwise, I will continue to ascribe the most significant driver in the Covid scam to moneymaking.

            These baroque, neo-fuedalist techno world-domination cabal theories need more proof, more substance. More concrete, real world evidence than a bad vax and “look what their stated goals are on their websites.”

          • gustafson.robert.22 January 10, 2023 at 11:47 am #

            I can make a website and declare any number of things.

            With a little money, get some press too.

          • GreenAlba January 10, 2023 at 11:59 am #

            Your argument makes no sense. If they just wanted to make money, they could have injected the world with saline or some other harmless compound.

            The fact that they know (and know that many of us also know) that the quacksines are killing people AND they are pretending it’s for any reason bar the quacksines – makes it pretty obvious that the excess deaths are deliberate.
            I grant you they’re not fast enough to make much of a dent in global population, but (a) we don’t know the final effect on life expectancy because it’s only been 2 years, (b) if too many people died at once they wouldn’t get away with it, and (c) the Big One appears to be coming in 2025. That, as Bill Gates has said, will get your attention. Even yours, Robert.

            You are as keen on depop as Bill Gates, of course, and don’t seem to mind them doing it their way (democide), so that probably affects your thinking too.

            Or perhaps you are controlled opposition. 🙂

          • gustafson.robert.22 January 10, 2023 at 12:07 pm #

            Typical stuff, GA. I do mind the method of depopulation. Ends don’t justify means.

            The moneymaking theory makes perfect sense. They wanted a big gamble on mRNA drugs. They orchestrated it (and made some big initial profits). But the gamble went south, medically. So, they will fight to the death to cover up that failure and that medical malpractice.

            Saline would have been pointless. The main point WAS the mRNA tech.

          • GreenAlba January 10, 2023 at 12:23 pm #

            If you say so, Robert. Time will tell. You’re more likely to still be here than I am when it does.

            BTW the quacksines that don’t use mRNA tech. are also killing people. Killing people is the common denominator in all vaxx-lands.

          • gustafson.robert.22 January 10, 2023 at 12:44 pm #

            That’s a good point (what’s going on with non mRNA vaxxes). But, other pharma-benefitting medical experiments are possibilities.

            The opposing point is: extreme lack of evidence (yet) of any effective depopulation.

          • GreenAlba January 10, 2023 at 1:05 pm #

            I guess you’re going to have to wait for SEERS, then, to convince you. I am very unlikely to be still here by then, but I’m not sorry to miss it.

            Obviously we won’t know till it comes if it will be ‘just’ a new vaxx that will achieve the depopulation or if whatever they unleash on us to justify the vaxx will be part of the trick.

            I’m surprised at you, bob. I can’t even call you gustaph. Humanity at its best and worst has a grandeur about it. These guys are definitely the worst. They are as serious as a heart attack. OF COURSE it’s about making money for the lower tiers of the Pyramid. That’s all they know and care to know. But what’s it about the to guys who not only have all the money they’ll ever need, but literally have all the money since they create it out of nothing?

            They are simultaneously drastically reducing the world’s population AND gaining absolute control over that population so as to stay on top forever, in a green, new world. To those in the Capstone, no doubt motives vary. Some may not care about the last part, some do. But they all care about staying on top. And I assume they all see that we live on a finite world that is going to crash if something isn’t done. So they are doing something.

            The motive of greed by their less brethren provides them perfect cover, so they don’t disabuse them of it. Meanwhile they speak openly of their plans knowing how very few can “grok” them.

            Usually you are one who can. But you woke up on the “small side of the bed” this morning. It happens to all of us….

          • gustafson.robert.22 January 10, 2023 at 2:34 pm #

            Sorry to disappoint, Jarek. I don’t dispute “elites” intentions or money.
            I guess I dispute their actual, practical power in these futuristic plays.

            I dispute that the driving force behind covid was an elite, WEF power-play. I think the driving force was (as is so often the case) immediate profit (the same force that lifted these elites to their stations, from which they have the adorable luxury now of nursing their techtopian daydreams). I think the dreams of the WEF elites only piggybacked on and greased the wheels for the engine of pharma profits..

          • Jarek January 10, 2023 at 4:38 pm #

            That ignores the vast amount of planning. They didn’t bother to hide their paper trail very well. No need, given their control over the herd. Plus it’s part of Satanic ethics. And it torments those who can put the pieces together. From their pov, what’s not to like?

          • gustafson.robert.22 January 10, 2023 at 5:10 pm #

            “Vast amounts of planning”

            It’s hard for me not to see the covid fiasco as either: 1) a failed attempt to mainstream mRNA drugs, (and/) or 2) a failed depopulation/tech-fuedalism-installment operation.

            IN OTHER WORDS, all that planning… for what end. If the planning was so comprehensive, why is the result such a shapeless mess, is my question?

            One could disagree and say the masterstrokes are still to come. I’m just doubtful of that position.

            I agree, there was lots of planning involved… but what’s the fruit of it? Maybe not all that much. The takeaway of covid could be… the pointlessness of it all. The plain, complex disfunction it represents…

        I don’t think it has ever been primarily about money making. Making money from it has just been a great big fat perk. It’s about control (micro-management) and depopulation. Money has been a means of getting the players to play. It’s not the point of the game.

            I do not understand how Gates got to where he is.

            Ask his wife, she will say it was Epstein.

            Was it the foundation that was set up, and even then what gave him access to tell the WHO what to do.

            Also, he just about ruined American education by trying to make everyone a nerd like him.

          • GreenAlba January 10, 2023 at 12:11 pm #

            I think they’re all picked, groomed and mentored, JAZ, the way Kissinger picked and groomed Schwab and (I think) Jacques Attali picked and groomed Macron.

            This is a generational cabal. Schwab is no spring chicken. Like Soros, he could die tomorrow – I don’t think they care because they are part of something bigger than themselves.

            You could listen to at least the start of Sessions 5 and 6 of Reiner Fuellmich’s online Grand Jury Trial. I can’t remember the order – I think Session 5 is the financial rationale and Session 6 is eugenics. Patrick Wood (who writes books on technocracy) starts both sessions. He’s really excellent and demonstrates the development of eugenics from the early 20th century. Gates’ antecedents were also eugenicists – like I said, this agenda is generational. His grandfather gave him $1m when he was born, plus all the contacts he needed, so he has achieved nothing special in reality (excellent 2-hour video (in 4 parts) on The Corbett Report ‘Who is Bill Gates?’

          • niner January 10, 2023 at 12:32 pm #

            These days, Gates has erased the memory of his earlier crimes against humanity, with his monomaniac drive to depop.

            Gates is Windows, the most regimenting and opague digital OS yet devised. (yes, yes, let’s skip over the details of IBM and Apple–Gates is the one who infected the world with Windows.)

            Made for children and innocents to grasp with monkey paws and run the “mouse” all over the screen. Thus, they learn the lay of the labyrinth.

            A highly weaponized labyrinth. Really it is a programming device for our mind. And it is a important reason why our traditional schooling no longer works to raise healthy reproducing adults.

            We’d all been much better off without a GUI.

            Command lines force you to remember exactly what you are dealing with.

            Gates’ singleness of focus, cannot obscure the devils in his head. It is they who are smarter than we are.

            Whitney Webb has a lot of into on the Gates-Epstein connection.

            Per Webb, Epstein was active setting up both the Clinton and the Gates Foundations—and possibly other international NGOs. There was already an agenda there to steer international policy from “public-private” (basically fascistic) platforms.

      There will be some good aspects to the Long Emergency that is on the way. The USA will disintegrate into a multitude of squabbling independent countries living in conditions that today we call “poverty”. The dollar will have no value and nobody overseas will use it for trade anymore. We’ll have to make do on what domestic resources we have left. We pigged all our stuff up at max speed in the industrial revolution, and now we seem to think the rest of the planet owes us a living. That Asians should be required to do all the sweatshop work for us. That Asians should be manufacturing all of our clothing, shoes, pots and pans, toys, car parts, drugs etc etc. This will most certainly end when the dollar ends. North America will be too broke to have the resources to spend on any more military adventures to prop up the dollar and steal resources from abroad. And the situation in the West might get so bad that other nations will have little interest in coming over here for plunder. It will be too dangerous here and there will be too many violent and mentally ill people running around all over the place. We have more guns here than we do people.

      The land comprising the USA was for some 30,000 years occupied by Indian nations who never organized into central governments and seem to have fought each other constantly, maybe out of boredom and desire for adventure. The land here will return to the way it’s been for many thousands of years. It will be occupied but balkanized in such a way that no United anything will return. It will be disunited in the same way old Europe was pre European Union. The war with Russia will destroy the EU and Europe will go back to its usual demonic behavior of endless quarreling and warfare. It’s what we humans are hard wired to do. We follow satan here in the West, the Western Church has failed completely and is all fake and divided up into so many squabbling groups and denominations that it’s impossible to count them all. Some say the Western Church has split up into some 30,000 differing denominations.

          The cities cannot operate without the Red’s support. If the country was split, it would take about three weeks for the Blues to come crying for their handouts and welfare.

      I don’t know what to think about it.

      I have to say that if they are trying to wipe out the population, it doesn’t seem to be doing it.

      As Mrs saj pointed out last week, even the big jump in the percentage of untimely deaths doesn’t add up to that many, compared to the population.
      I thought it might be a birth control injection, but babies still seem to be being born.

      I had never heard of the thing (law, executive order, whatever?) that Obama signed that takes away the right of Informed Consent when the experimenters decide that it is not in your best interest to be informed.

      Say what??? I would like to see that order.

      But I agree that whatever their plan is, only the people at the top need to know, and pure greed gets everyone else to go along.

      Much like when the Congress passed the CARES Act (which they no doubt didn’t read), which provided big bucks to the medical industry to use the PCR swab on everyone, with a bonus for every “covid” patient and $35,000 extra for everyone put on a ventilator.

      Did administrators and doctors know the plan? No, they didn’t have to. All they knew was that they could make big money by following the plan, so they did.

          Speaking of Stetson Bennett IV, he’s quite good but I checked and he’s only 5’11” tall so I wonder about his potential as a pro… Then again there was Doug Flutie at 5’10”.

          • BackRowHeckler January 10, 2023 at 6:51 pm #

            Flutie & Warren Moon had nice careers in the CFL.

          • Disaffected January 11, 2023 at 10:08 am #

            Moon did anyway. Flutie got royally hosed, especially by the Bills. Should have been much better. But Bennett’s never been all that convincing as a college QB. He’s been excellent in GA’s program, but then again, they’re GA. They’re basically playing Div II programs every week by comparison. That’s why so many Alabama and Ohio State (among others) QB’s flame out in the NFL.

        • Disaffected January 10, 2023 at 3:58 pm #

          Bennett’s more than a little too cocky for my tastes. His NFL potential is nil. Q. could have played QB with that lineup.

          Can’t tell if you mean this favorably or not jim e. He has quite an interesting story and is a role model for dedication and hard work. Yes I suppose he comes off as a bit cocky but he’s had a big chip on his shoulder. Personally I think he should have.won the Heisman but that’s all a political theater so I guess it doesn’t matter.

          As a long suffering Dawg fan I was happy to see them beat the snot out of TCU although I would certainly have been cheering for them had they not been playing Georgia.

          And speaking of running up the score @disaffected what are you supposed to do when the other team rolls over? Kill the clock or just allow them some feel good points? That’s what is wrong with America. A little ass Whipping never hurt anyone and it builds character. Trust me TCU will never forget this and if Sonny Dykes is any kind of coach he will use this defeat as a prime teaching opportunity.

          • C.O.Jones January 11, 2023 at 10:54 am #

            Good points farmgal. I will add that Kirby Smart played second string guys toward the begining of the 4th quarter and they still marched down the field and scored against the demoralized TCU defense. I detected a degree of “quit” in some of the TCU players.

            As far as Stetson Bennett’s NFL potential goes – having people saying he can’t do it is exactly the motivation he needs. He’s smart, uses his legs when appropriate and puts some mustard on his passes when needed. If he can get the inherent desire to pull off the surreal coached out of him – that’s an IF – he could win at the next level.

            I would much rather have him on my team than a six foot three inch dolt who has to be reminded to step into a throw after every play – think Derek Carr.

          • Disaffected January 11, 2023 at 4:16 pm #

            Hmm…. comment got lost in the ether. I hear ya, TCU really laid down on this one and that wasn’t Georgia’s fault. In a perfect world, I’d like to see them give the coaches an opportunity to throw in the towel like prize fighting, not that many of the dumb asses would ever use it. But I don’t see getting beat 65-7 in by far the biggest game of the year is a “program builder.” More likely it’s a program destroyer. They’ll be stigmatized in recruiting for years to come after this debacle, much as Nebraska was in 2001 when they got their ass handed to them by a vastly superior Miami team after not even winning their conference after a regular season ending blowout loss to Colorado.

    The covid19 op certainly is not the first time in my lifetime that docs have put forth a BS narrative that has become medical scripture.

    Two others:

    The cholesterol flap and the soy madness.

    The Framingham Heart Study did not show that cholesterol was dangerous. In fact, it pretty much showed that low cholesterol was sending a “signal,” not high cholesterol.

    The “eat soy” mantra was connected to avoiding actually healthy foods such as eggs and butter and cheese and meat.

    Soy as a food was/is kind of a bug-cuisine precursor, “infomrationallyl” speaking.

    Docs have pushed both of these narratives, while prescribing Ensure to elderly people who actually need high-quality protein.

    A telephone conversation with a 94-year-old friend last night prompts this comment from me. We were talking about the egg shortage. She said her doctor forbids her eggs and in any case she uses Ensure for protein.

    I said: “That is Bullshit. Look at the ingredient list on a can of Ensure.” She promised she would have a poached egg today, which she loves.

    Here is the ingredient list for Ensure:

    Water, Corn Maltodextrin, Sugar, Milk Protein Concentrate, Blend of Vegetable Oils (Canola, Corn), Soy Protein Isolate, Cocoa Powder (Processed with Alkali).

    This is not food.

    • Woodchuck January 10, 2023 at 9:55 am #

      Most processed foods – aren’t food. And they are filled with ag chemical residues, preservatives, bad veggie oils, sugar (really bad for you), dyes, etc. It’s all mostly garbage and is likely the real reason most of us hang out in doctor’s offices. We save money by eating crap quality food, and then spend ten times as much in the “health care” system trying to fix damage caused by our so called food.

    • MaryQueen January 10, 2023 at 10:26 am #

      Gawd, that’s horrid (the Ensure). Processed crapola! I have never read the ingredients. Horrible for the elderly. I’m glad your friend decided to have an egg instead.

      I’m a huge fan of eggs, so a shortage will suck. I might try to find someone local. I have already seen other people on NextDoor doing that, though, so I am guessing most local egg sources may corner the market.

    • MaryQueen January 10, 2023 at 10:29 am #

        Me, heart attack at age 53, three pockets of cholesterol, two active and scented.

        Main cause of myocardial infarction is cholesterol pockets that become inflamed and clot up. That is what is causing these male athletes to drop like flies, as cholesterol starts building in males as fat streaks in coronaries. The source of info, autopsies on teen age boys killed in auto accidents.

        After the first stent, I was put on the standard CAD pharmacy, two B/P pills, plavix and a statin. 2001. I have had problems with statins, muscle pain since. LDL in 60s for years. About three years ago, it shifted to the 90’s. Too high for CAD. Tried a new drug, Repatha. LDL in 30’s, total cholesterol in 110s. Muscle pain minimized.

        Now, you for example. I would expect to see few problems with cholesterol as until menopause women carry a much lower LDL due to estrogen. That is the reason there are so many widows in the 50sand 60s. Just one of many ways women have a better metabolism than men. Men, prostate and coronary, women, breast and reproductive cancers.

        Seems like someone is out there to get us all.

        Anyway, bad cholesterol and inflammation will get you in the end. Hmmm, isn’t there a problem with Covid vaxxes and heart inflammation and clots. A diagnostic is the heart cath, a way of checking cholesterol in the coronaries. I wonder if the Bills kid had his coronaries checked under treatment. As that might point at the vaxx, I doubt it. A coronary CT scan can do almost as good a job.

          You say it’s a bad habit to think that everyone is like you (I don’t, and never said I did, I came to the conclusion doing research and talking to my naturopath).

          And then you go onto put your own experience in detail, to prove me wrong.

            I never make global statements like you do. You are not the only one that is LMAO.

            Your research is always biased, always, if data does not agree with you, it is dismissed.

            And your naturopath? One opinion?

            Believe what you will.

        • Woodchuck January 10, 2023 at 12:29 pm #

          One primary source of problems and inflammation is sugar. Statin drugs are a major “health care” scam, and these drugs do far more harm than good. You need cholesterol, it’s a basic building block for many other vitally needed substances. For example, testosterone and brain/nerve tissue are made using lots of cholesterol. Eating processed foods is the primary cause of heart problems. Heart attacks are often caused by being chronically dehydrated. Naturopathic medicine has many very effective ways of treating human maladies, Since people are brainwashed against naturopathic medicine in schools and in the controlled media, they become victims of the pharma industry.

          I’ve an ancestor who used only naturopathic medicine for his ills, and he lived to be 100 in near perfect health for all those years. Friends and relatives were extremely bewildered as to how he could have done something like this without any assistance from allopathic medicine. Then they became upset and insulted when he told them he’d done so well with his health because he did NOT go to doctors. Such an idea is beyond the capability of most people. We worship and trust the medical industrial complex with the same attitudes that fundamentalist Christians experience when they trust their fake tv preachers.

          • Night Owl January 10, 2023 at 12:38 pm #

            The key to health (diet-wise) is to avoid sugar and carbs. And many seed oils.

            Eat animal products and some veggies.

            Supplement essential vitamins and minerals that are hard to get through food (D for example).

            That’s it.

          • gustafson.robert.22 January 10, 2023 at 2:56 pm #

            Yep.

            The way many ate before industrial/agricultural/pharmaceutical profit motives skewed diet beyond any semblance of health.

          • MaryQueen January 10, 2023 at 5:58 pm #

            No one needs refined sugar that is for sure. It’s poison, except in small doses.

        • kbird January 11, 2023 at 3:37 pm #

          Agree with you Johnaz….It’s quite common for Women once they reach menopause, to end up with High Cholesterol and Pre-Diabetic..Lack of estrogen really affects Cholesterol.
          Maryq, Eggs have gone through periods where they said only eat one egg a week, and then they changed that. Now it’s known that actually carbs are worse for cholesterol..crackers, chips, etc…lack of fiber…

      • Night Owl January 10, 2023 at 12:40 pm #

        It’s not a scam, it comes from eating carbs, sugar, and processed food.

    • MaryQueen January 10, 2023 at 11:09 am #

      One more (because it just popped up from a nutrionist I follow):

      “Eggs are one of the healthiest foods on the planet.

      They contain vitamin D, zeaxanthin, omega-3, vitamin b12, iron, vitamin b2+b5, vitamin A, vitamin E, phosphorus, folate, selenium, iodine, & HDL cholesterol while being a great source of protein.

      They also contain choline & lutein, which are powerful nutrients for your brain health.”

      • JohnAZ January 10, 2023 at 11:18 am #

        That is true, and not only eggs. All sources of Omega three cholesterol are good, Omega 6 not so much.

        Remember too, that all fats are broken down in digestion, absorbed, then what is needed is really manufactured by the liver. What we eat affects what is produced. One example is saturated fats which produce LDLs. Statins and Repatha affect what the liver does.

        • JohnAZ January 10, 2023 at 11:19 am #

          And by the way, your health seems to be excellent. Others not so much.

        • JohnAZ January 10, 2023 at 11:21 am #

          BTW, on the international protein rating system, eggs are the only protein source rated as 100 out of 100.

          No wonder so many creatures eat eggs.

        • Jarek January 10, 2023 at 5:08 pm #

          Many among the wise reject eggs. Others, the yolk only as being too fatty.

          But if you are really hungry, or low on fats, by all means eat it. Nothing will build you up faster.

          • MaryQueen January 10, 2023 at 9:56 pm #

          • Disaffected January 11, 2023 at 10:02 am #

            I eat more eggs than I can convey. I keep 12 soft boiled in the fridge all the time, with another 12-18 for everyday cooking use or to be boiled later. My cholesterol is off the charts, but then again, it always has been. Coronary calcium score 3 years back? A perfect 0. Stress test (5 minutes @ 4.8 mph at 18% incline for the last minute) and echo cardio this past year both excellent as well. Maybe I’m just lucky?

            Hey JAZ if you’re out there, how’s this for a trainwreck blood work?:

            Triglyceride: 284
            Cholesterol: 310
            HDL: 41
            LDL: 212

            Just got tested 01/03/23. I’m a staunch contrarian. My PCP has given up on me altogether. I’ve broken better men than he!

            I’m off the beer this year, so we’ll see if any of it improves, but I doubt it. Interestingly, I was damn near an alcoholic last year and my A1C actually went down from 6.0 to 5.9. It had been rock solid at 6.0 for years, even when I was dieting. All the while flushing the Metformin down the loo where it rightfully belongs.

          • Islander January 11, 2023 at 4:14 pm #

            If they reject eggs, they are not wise.
            Unless they have some kind of allergy.

        What do you think of Life Insurance? – Jar

        ============

        A guy (i.e. a breadwinner) should have term life insurance (pure insurance at the lowest cost that doesn’t build cash value) until his/her kids are self sufficient. Then no need for life insurance.

        This was the advice of Prof Dier, my Ruckers finance prof. He also told us the secret of wealth accumulation. “Spend less than you earn.”

    Ugh!

    Two more government debacles.

    Automobile kill switches are being signed into law, mandatory. Sounds like Buttigieg doesn’t it.

    Sounds good, thieves can have the stolen vehicle stopped from a central system, think On Star.

    Uh huh, how about the potential for monitoring a car and driver, the ability to shut down cars to any hacker or even the government themselves.

    Typical, putting in a “good” thing opens the door to criminality.

    Two, no more gas ovens. Already signed. All new construction will have electric ovens. This one is a GND debacle. Clothed in the benevolence of reducing home pollution and consequent asthma in kids, the very obvious goal is the reduction of FF usage. Shades of EVs, we now have EOs.

        @st elmo a dual fuel is a wonderful tool but as you say very pricey.

        They try to dress their war on gas stoves up in their concern for the kiddos and asthma but deep inside an article I read is the fact that gas stoves emit methane and the climate terrorists cannot allow that to happen.

        • stelmosfire January 10, 2023 at 6:30 pm #

          If a gas stove is emitting methane it must have a gas leak. Natural gas is methane (CH4) and you don’t want that loose in your house. A well adjusted gas range emits nothing but CO2 and H2O.

    • Woodchuck January 10, 2023 at 12:58 pm #

      I’ve been looking around recently at prices and availability of wood burning kitchen cook stoves. My great grandma used one until nat gas and electric became available. Installing a kitchen wood burner is a lot more expensive than a regular gas or electric model. And it takes time to fire one up. But from that point on, and especially if you have access to free wood, no more utility bills from that particular kitchen appliance. And you are also on your way to having an off grid kitchen setup. Electricity down for a few weeks or even a month? No problem, you’ll still be cookin’ – and lots of neighbors will be very interested in your setup.

    • MaryQueen January 10, 2023 at 1:45 pm #

      I read the excuse for ending gas stoves is because of childhood asthma. I have NEVER heard of any child getting asthma from a gas stove. This will put even more stress on the already-stressed grid.

      Plus, cooking on electric stoves SUCKS.

    Whether that remains true is quite another story of course. – Jarek

    ===============

    Jar has some short phrases that he loves to use. Here are four of them, (there may be others):

    of course
    per se
    you see
    what to say

    Which one do you find most annoying? For me it’s per se.

    • GreenAlba January 10, 2023 at 12:29 pm #

      I don’t have any objection to per se. I much prefer it to his ‘in an of itself’, a tautology that annoys me.

      You forgot ‘anent’ or perhaps you excluded it because it’s just a word, rather than a phrase.

      But, of course the most annoying phrase, which is you see

      • GreenAlba January 10, 2023 at 12:32 pm #

        Oops, that went off into submission-land unsolicited.

        I was going to say his most annoying phrase is in other words, specifically because what he says is always something one didn’t actually say or remotely mean.

        • Blackbird January 10, 2023 at 1:35 pm #

          Yes, I was going to tell the Stick that he missed the one phrase that is most vintage Jaros: In other words… I’m waiting for him to start his own blog with that title. Let’s see your (oft-changing) name turn green JarJar.

          But, per se has long been one of my unfavorite wastes of syllables. An injection people make to their statements in order to sound smarter, but all it does is make them sound like they are trying to sound smarter, which actually makes them sound dumber.

          Oh, and “actual”, as in, “These are the actual eggs from those chickens!”, or “We relocated the actual corals!” Adding the word “actual” makes what you are saying more important – and more exciting!

          • Jarek January 10, 2023 at 2:05 pm #

            2=2. a=a. a+b=b+a. These (and others) are the building blocks of life. The postulates. They can’t be proved, but rather they are that by which all else is proved.

            Mary and the Ladies get put out when they say 4, and I say 2+2. “I didn’t say that!”. I never said you did. It’s called conversation. And it also happens to be true. It’s seeing what was said in a different way.

            Mary repeated EXACTLY what Islander said and Islander snapped at her. Mary replied, I was adding to the conversation. And Islander replied quite rightly, “You added nothing”.

            Of course Islander does that same thing as the rest of the ladies at time. She’s all over the place. She’s a Lady too!

            Yes, you do, fantasist. All the time.

            One must be very high to trust oneself to be an animal for an hour. None of the ladies here could do it.

            Song of Myself, 32

            I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain’d,
            I stand and look at them long and long.

            They do not sweat and whine about their condition,
            They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,
            They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,
            Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things,
            Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago,
            Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.

            So they show their relations to me and I accept them,
            They bring me tokens of myself, they evince them plainly in their possession.

            I wonder where they get those tokens,
            Did I pass that way huge times ago and negligently drop them?
            Myself moving forward then and now and forever,
            Gathering and showing more always and with velocity,
            Infinite and omnigenous, and the like of these among them,
            Not too exclusive toward the reachers of my remembrancers,
            Picking out here one that I love, and now go with him on brotherly terms.

            A gigantic beauty of a stallion, fresh and responsive to my caresses,
            Head high in the forehead, wide between the ears,
            Limbs glossy and supple, tail dusting the ground,
            Eyes full of sparkling wickedness, ears finely cut, flexibly moving.

            His nostrils dilate as my heels embrace him,
            His well-built limbs tremble with pleasure as we race around and return.

            I but use you a minute, then I resign you, stallion,
            Why do I need your paces when I myself out-gallop them?
            Even as I stand or sit passing faster than you.

            Whitman

          Niner:

          Interesting points re the GUI.

          I never bought in to the idea that the mouse interface was “intuitive.”

          Sure isn’t “intuitive” to me.

          What I notice is that a lot of people are unable to organize their documents so that they can find them again. They have a mass of docs on their desktop and do not have any system for organizing them. My whole professional life since the advent of the computer and on-line editing has involved keeping hundreds of documents organized and easily findable, including multiple versions of each document, author’s and editor’s revisions, etc. etc. I had to think very systematically about managing large volumes of documents and identify and retrieve them quickly. There is nothing “intuitive” about it!!

          • niner January 10, 2023 at 10:03 pm #

            well, Islander, you have put your finger on the innate confusion of Windows.

            a command line system, while more difficult to learn and memorize, has a more regular order, and the essential links and doorways and “windows” dont keep jumping around on the screen.

            much else could be said about the disorienting effects of gui’s, but most fatal is that gui’s are now such good imitations of what you would see looking out a window, or into a messy closet or desk, that there is a serious tendency to accept gui’s as a form of reality, as a “place” where events happen and emotions become attached.

            we’d be better off with linear text and zooms where pictures of living, talking people are shown to each other in real time.

            and the asymmetry of time shifting in this kind of posting format, or any asynchronous discussion format has psychological effects on how we perceive our material reality and our true physical voice-to-ear relationships.

            we’ve all been caught in this hall of mirrors at least once.

            not of course, that i think we can give it up. we have fallen down the rabbit hole. and there may be no exit, while there is still the electricity to run the screens.

            i am merely pointing out that Gates did this to us — first, he infected us with Windows, and then he infected us with the vaxx bioweapon.

            this was not an accident.

      Haha, I saw that yesterday and sent it to my still brainwashed hubby.

      Early on, there was a ‘Karim’, who appeared in a French ICU, then again as ‘Noah’ in another one far away, then nameless in a third, equally far away. In each case, like Carol, he was saying how he regretted not being vaxxed (for covid). There were loads of articles with ‘ICU patients’ wishing they’d only taken the vaxx. Some of them said it just before they died, allegedly.

      If ‘Karim’ was spotted three times, I’m guessing there were many other regional performances where he wasn’t spotted.

      • Night Owl January 10, 2023 at 5:27 pm #

          And I recall this one from Dr Eli David, although it isn’t patients exactly.

          twitter.com/DrEliDavid/status/1475496620011700227

      The actuall woman Travis was interested in rejected him because he took her to the “movies” (porn). He apologized, saying he didn’t know much about movies! – (an obvious dig at the supposed stupidity of the goyim).

      She came around after he had become a hero – and known as such. Being a hero would have been enough after all. She asked him specifically at the taxi stand. He drove her home, wiped out the fare, and then drove off, leaving her in longing at the curb. That’s class. He realized he was way too good for her, but he was polite and kind about it. Why say anything when there was nothing to say? Life had vindicated him and show her true colors.

            I’m shocked you thought that. You are by far the most rational woman on this site. By way of further explanation: I came to dislike the word “lady” even before my awakening. It didn’t seem to have even the mild moral connotation of “gentleman”, but rather all about externals, perhaps rising to the level of style – but sans substance.

            You might have a different connotation, a far more positive one and thus the misunderstanding. I’m not against style per se in any case.

            Have you seen the movie, “Where the Crawdads Sing”? She shined up like a penny when she dolled up. But I thought she was beautiful already – as did the men in the movie.

    Watching Chris Martenson’s new video that begins with Damar heart attack on the field, and per usual, getting a cathartic dose from him methodically and carefully explaining and reinforcing my thoughts on things..

    If there was ever a time for a kind of zeitgeist moment for America that was it, because no one under 50 that watches NFL has seen that happen.

    Plenty of players, announcers, coaches have heard Brian Kilmeade by now or thereabouts…you know?
    All the sanctimonious coverage that continued afterward, it felt like they struggled with containing a feeling of foreboding.

      Oh? What did Kilmeade say? Nothing real, right?

      He written some fine pop history about Andrew Jackson and the War with the Barbary Pirates – but he always gets things wrong in the present.

      Always. If he had lived during Revolutionary times, he would have been on the British side.

      • Woodchuck January 11, 2023 at 11:56 am #

        And if King George III had prevailed instead of farmer George, in the long run it would have made little difference. Canada never rebelled against British authority, and yet today there is very little difference between the USA and Canada. Judging just from appearances, both countries are essentially the same, the only difference being in the minor details as to how they relate to the house of Windsor. The USA, once it figured out how much muscle it had, would have formed an independent and centrally controlled state anyhow, with or without British influence. The US Revolutionary War really didn’t make that much difference in the long run, in my opinion. Others might disagree.

    The Swiss Guard refuses to allow Pope Benedict’s body to be dishonored by evil Bishop.

    Barnhardt

    Here’s what was communicated to me from Rome, with permission to make this public:

    After Pope Benedict’s body was moved into St. Peter’s Basilica in the very early morning darkness of Monday, January 2nd, IN A GREY CARGO VAN – NOT EVEN IN A HEARSE – the wicked and hateful Gambetti, Cardinal archpriest of the Basilica, immediately after processing back to the sacristy (seen in the video below at the 4:57 timestamp) re-emerged and ordered all of the lights turned off and the Basilica emptied and closed until the next morning. He literally wanted Pope Benedict’s body to lie exposed on the bier, alone, in the dark, unattended, during the overnight hours for the three days of Pope Benedict lying in state in the Basilica.

    And here’s where a ray of light shone forth in the darkness:

    The Swiss Guards REFUSED TO LEAVE.
    The evil Gambetti AGAIN demanded that the lights be turned off, and that the Basilica be cleared and closed until the morning.

    AGAIN, the Swiss Guards refused to abandon Pope Benedict’s exposed corpse – an unthinkable humiliation and desecration of a body that no mortuary or funeral home would EVER allow for ANY PERSON, much less a Pope.

    The evil wretch Gambetti, seeing that these MEN were not going to relent, then huffily declared that if they wanted to stay that it would NOT count toward their “on-duty” time, that they would be “off the clock”, and no on-duty Swiss Guards would be permitted to stand overnight vigil, only Swiss Guards who were already off-duty, and thus volunteering their own private time, and would be expected to work their full, regular shifts regardless of if they had been up all night standing vigil. And then he stomped off, seething.

    And so, it warms my heart to tell you, that Pope Benedict’s body was never left alone as he lay in state, that the Swiss Guards stood all-night volunteer watches at his side until he was placed in his coffin, and thus Pope Benedict’s body was never desecrated by exposure and abandonment, which was what the vile Cardinal Gambetti, fully in line with the truly evil Antipope Jorge Bergoglio, intended to happen.

    Please pray for the Swiss Guards, who, sadly were given the ultimatum, as were all Vatican employees, to take the deathjab or lose their jobs. Quite a few Swiss Guards did refuse and left the Vatican, but the ones who remain to this day have been injected multiple times with the poison, by definition. They might have heart damage in the physical sense, but they showed with their actions last week that they still have heart in the more important and lasting sense of the word.

      I can understand the importance of preserving ritual and respect for such a high personage.

      But something else was probably going on here. Three days of black silence, alone in with the spirits, which spirits. There was another intention, not mere disrespect.

      • Jarek January 11, 2023 at 5:57 pm #

        Good point. Since Satan was formally installed in the Vatican decades ago, and since (as many Traditions say) the soul is associated with the body for three days, poor Benedict might have had a very hard time of it there alone over the weekend.

        A terrible Pope but a good man, at least in some ways. We needed a Lion but got a Lamb.

    The Big Reset documentary,

    httpX://odysee.com/@thebigreset:1/ENGLISH:bb

    is really excellent.

    It shows the roots of Davos most specifically in the founding of the Bilderberg Group, and its role as a “casting” venue for getting a closer look at “candidates” for taking orders to run the New World Government. And eventually maybe to give orders, too.

    Plenty of vintage film footage.

    Some of the doc’s talking heads are Spanish and hence remain under the radar in Anglo media environments, also alternative. But these are some very, very smart people.

    Anyone who doubts the existence of a plan, and planners, really needs to confront reality. Watch this film. I am watching it for the second time.

    • gustafson.robert.22 January 10, 2023 at 7:08 pm #

      Nothing wrong with the film, but simplistic. If “2020 was the year all our notions about our world were turned on their head” as the movie opens… if that was true for you, then in 2020 you were quite innocent.

      I object to the attitude that much about the covid event is very new or shocking. Pharma profit. Techtopian pipe-dreams. What’s new about these?

      The real Plato’s cave is believing that our society is not headed inevitably for collapse. If you were in that cave in 2020, I guess the covid events were shocking. Some of those shocked by covid malfeasance and plotting.. are still in the cave.

      • Islander January 10, 2023 at 7:39 pm #

        I kind of doubt that you watched the film. it is over 2 hours.long, and your comment posted just over an hour after mine. .

        The film is absolutely not “simplistic.”

        It is a very good melding of history, events in “real time” and fresh commentary and analysis.

        The context of “the world changed in 2020″ is absolutely clear.

        If you were expecting the events that transpired in 2020, why didn’t you tell us all what was about to happen?

        You are just pulling the ” yawn” gambit.

        It is also becoming clear that you are invested in talking down excellent sources and putting forth silly comments.

            There’s a big difference between an epidemic (or even a pandemic) and a plandemic, with lethal ‘vaccinations’.

            Btw, none of the primitive (ok, so called) peoples view nature as he does. Some may see it as a divine gift. Others may not. Some seem to enjoy it aesthetically. Others, don’t seem to. In any case, for them it’s all about the the higher realms and beyond that, God. Neither of these are in Bob’s lexicon. What a strange savage he is! Like Mr Savage in Brave New World.

        • GreenAlba January 10, 2023 at 8:15 pm #

          I agree, islander, it is a very good, polished film and covers most of the main issues. I think I’ve watched it 4 or 5 times over the months since it came out. The testimonies of the featured scientists and doctors are impeccable.

          I am finding Robert’s arguments childish. ‘Nothing really bad has happened yet and I’m not convinced it’s going to happen’ isn’t much of an argument, based on the evidence we’ve seen so far, with multiple countries merely experiencing a remission of their full-fascist expression at the height of the supposed pandemic, until the next time (the Big One that Gates has been promising).

          On the back of covid, we’ve seen free speech eliminated on large swaths of social media, a WHO Pandemic Treaty in the making so that centralised, global control will be possible next time, and that ‘next time’ has already been war-gamed via the Catastrophic Contagion scenario in October 22. And mujltiple countries around the world are finalising and implementing online ‘safety’ legislation so that anyone speaking against the narrative ‘next time’ will be summarily dealt with.

          Nothing new in all that, no …

    Today, I realized why. A flashback to way way back, growing up where I did:

    “Dagmar Hagelin was a 17-year-old Swedish-Argentine girl who disappeared during the Dirty War on 27 January 1977, and is presumed to have been arrested by security forces in El Palomar, Buenos Aires, and murdered in a case of mistaken identity.”

      I don’t know if the classic stages of grief are going to apply here, on a national basis.

      Because we cant agree on the cause of death.

      At some percentage maybe 55% or 70% of us who believe these raindrops of death, falling every day on our beautiful youth, at some point, our hearts will harden and let loose our revenge.

      More than justice, we will want revenge.

      And that will be the new agreement, much as liberty, fraternity, equality, was the old agreement.

        100 years ago a fair amount of people died in work related accidents and child birth those accident are lower now.
        100 years ago the food was often tainted or straight up rotten the water supply was not treated so there were actual pathogens in the water and the miracle of antibiotics had not been invented.

        Normal styles of vaccines were employed using dead or dying bacteria and viruses not frankenshot that even as little as a decade ago killed most of the animal subject injected with them.

        It is not normal for otherwise healthy children and young adults to just drop dead until now.

      On Dan Bongino’s podcast last week (Wednesday)
      he gave a report about a recent study that said since Jan. 2021 to now, there have been 1100+ sudden deaths among otherwise healthy 20-30 year old athletes

      In the previous 38 YEARS combined there had been around 1100 deaths from heart attacks in the same age group. I don’t have a link to the study, but you can listen to the podcast for details.
      So just since the mandatory vax campaign, young athletes – mostly male – are dropping like flies.

      • Not_GeorgeT January 11, 2023 at 7:05 pm #

        The number makes the rounds. Something like 58xx injured, 1101 deaths, the 38 years is the timeline. First saw it on something Peter McCullough wrote, it has been echoed by a few others who don’t necessarily live in the same rooms but might read similar material.

        I’ll go with it until proven otherwise and suspect the #’s are likely too low.

      I think you are implying that the cause was the vaxx and/or booster. If so, I wish there was something more definitive in the report such as “the cadet had just received a booster shot at the dispensary and was on his way to class.”

    President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, sworn in last Sunday, promised that the protection of indigenous peoples will be an important part of his government. As a signal of his intent, he announced the creation of the Indigenous People’s Ministry, led by activist and politician Sônia Guajajara — the first indigenous person to sit on Brazil’s cabinet.

      Yeah ladies, if those Brazilians really cared they’d go back to Europe as the Indians have demanded both up here and down there.

      Then where would you all be? Probably going to rallies to support the Muslimification of your new homes.

      Is immigration the essence of America? Is it alright to give the indigenous lands to anybody except Whites, Whites being uniquely evil? Or should the Americas just be allowed to go back to the stone age, cannibalism, and human sacrifice a la the indigenous?

We save money by eating crap quality food, and then spend ten times as much in the “health care” system trying to fix damage caused by our so called food.”

    Well, yeah, I think we all know that, WC.
    Our food is highly processed.
    Nothing new there.

    My point concerned the specific use practically as medication/nutrition supplement—it is actually prescribed by doctors— of a substance, Ensure, that contains little actual food. The same can be said of baby formula.

    (I did check a label online and there are a lot of supplements listed, so Ensure might be a way to take supplements in a liquid form—many elderly cannot swallow pills.)

    Infants and the very elderly are dependent on caregivers. Infants cannot make their own food choices, and the elderly are often very restricted in what they can do or choose for themselves. For instance, my elderly friend lives independently but she cannot shop nor really for herself and she has a local friend who sees after her. This person basically follows all of the doctor’s orders. You see what I mean:????

    • Woodchuck January 11, 2023 at 1:36 pm #

      Yup, I see what you mean. The best baby formula comes from the mother’s breasts, not from formula bottles containing fake and synthetic food. Real food comes from backyard gardens and local organic farms, not from big agriculture. Fake food is the stuff you find in the center aisles of the grocery store, and most of it is inside boxes that have very long ingredient lists printed on the back. Some of those ingredients will require someone who has taken college level chemistry class just in order to pronounce them correctly. Long term, the processed foods will make you sick. They are both lacking in nutrients and include toxic ag residues and added chemicals to provide proper looks and shelf life.

      Because I’m an old fart I can remember when much food was grown locally around here or even in back yards. And people went to restaurants only on special occasions. Good food was prepared by female homemakers who were home instead of in the work force, and they could produce food that didn’t eventually kill you, and they also raised both mentally and physically healthy children with moms who were at home taking care of the most important aspects of raising a successful family. The reason us kids could have adventurous learning experiences on our own was because there were stay at home moms in the neighborhood keeping a general eye on things. When a crying kid comes in all skinned up from a bike wreck mom is there to fix it. That’s how it used to be. Today, children aren’t out riding by themselves or even riding back and forth to school on their own bikes with their own pack of friends that they chose, not their parents. Instead they are herded around like cattle in captivity by teachers and daycare staff because mom wants to be a man instead of a woman. She’s not raising her own children, instead the state is doing that. And she sits around confused, upset, and angry because her kids are failing and in trouble.

      • Jarek January 11, 2023 at 2:03 pm #

        She is woman, hear her roar! She ain’t going to obey no man – except her boss at “work”. She’ll do anything for him to get a “raise”.

      Verrry interesting.

      Bill Fawell’s ideas coalesce a lot of mulling over about the red and blue portions of US society. Definitely worth a listen even if not taken as total gospel. This is my first exposure to Fawell, but he is closely examining ideas that the zeitgeist is revealing. .

      The breakup/undermining/destruction from within of the USA has been a thing for years now—a long-term goal of the UK and the globalists.

      At ca. 47:00. Discussion of Musk.

      Reinforces my own view as one of the “Musk waiters” (as in wait and see) as opposed to “Musk haters” (he is a con man and it is all a con [Hey, “Trojan Horse whisperers”!!!!]:

      People don’t realize how dangerous his situation is, how dangerous it was/is for him to take on Twitter and the political elements that had in effect taken it over.

      Luongo and Fawell agree that Musk must be working with some faction—because he is still alive!

      • niner January 12, 2023 at 11:54 am #

        Yes, Islander, Musk does seem to have at least a partly functioning moral conscience.

        But he is walking a tightrope, no doubt.

        You have to admire his daring.

        I would not bet on him, either way.

        His situation is too precarious, and no doubt the flying monkeys of Davos are working hard to pull him down.

        Especially, they chase those who have been members and then later defect.

  71. beantownbill. January 11, 2023 at 2:07 pm #

    Here I am. There’s a number of reasons I haven’t been posting for a while. The big one is I haven’t been entirely honest – I’ve lied by omission.

    N.O. has always been on me for everything I’ve said, to the point I didn’t ever want to hear from him again. So when my wife and I got covid sometimes around the middle of last year, I knew he would rag on me – I didn’t want a smug CFNer to do that and I kept it quiet.

    Both of us had a fairly bad case and we were very fatigued for a month. We got over it. I now have to eat crow. This isn’t easy for me, but I’m doing it. The vax not only doesn’t work very well, but it is dangerous.

    I still stand by my logic for originally getting vaxxed – but I guess I was too trusting. I certainly didn’t think the authorities were that evil, although I should have known better since I’m a cynical person. Mea culpa.

    Anyway, I’m glad I’ve gotten this off my chest.

    But wait! There’s more. My wife has been pretty sick for the past 2 months – she can’t move without getting out of breath. She has to sit down most of the day, otherwise she’s exhausted. When she moves, her pulse rate is around 115 until she sits down. It’s been very tough on her and on me.

    Determining what’s wrong has been a long and drawn out process, but I know it’s because of the vaccine. She’s had a zillion tests and every one has ruled out something. But each test narrows down the possibilities. We’ve recently made diagnostic progress. It’s now down to only several possibilities: Severe dehydration (she’s had a lot of diarrhea), an autoimmune disorder (bingo #1), a lung inflammation (bingo #2), or possible- but according to the doctor, unlikely – multiple myeloma (very scary). It will take another 2-4 weeks to finally make a positive diagnosis.

    BTW, I’m having some difficulty with my legs, they’ve gotten weaker unless I exercise them daily, which I do (remember, I had hip replacement in May). All in all, I feel pretty healthy: My energy is good, my BP is around 125/70 and my resting pulse is 63 bpm.

    Well, that’s my story. Now I can start to post my comments on what’s been happening in the world. And thanks to those who were asking about me.

    • cowbell81 January 11, 2023 at 2:40 pm #

      Possible silver lining?:
      Maybe the bout with covid has built up your *real* antibodies?

      It might be worth checking out the info at the Frontline Doctors site for post-vaccine recovery info—they also have webinars with people who are recovering from various issues related to covid or the jabs:

      I’m glad to know you’re alive and somewhat kicking, BB. Sorry about your wife. And it takes an intelligent man to incorporate facts and data and change his opinion, and a brave man to admit it.

      For what it’s worth, here is my unsolicited advice. Whatever damage the shot did to your wife is probably not detectable by the tests the mainstream doctors use, and probably not curable by any drugs they might supply. If it were me, I would stick to normal ways of creating good health (food, exercise, sleep, sunlight, meditation) and maybe try what the doctors who were right all along recommend.

      Good luck to you both.

      • Paula D January 11, 2023 at 6:53 pm #

        It happened to my mother, is how I know.
        She took the drugs recommended by her doctor and she developed an inability to swallow. They did every test in the book and informed her that they were all negative, therefore there was nothing wrong with her.
        She went down to 69 pounds and they were still telling her that since their tests couldn’t find what was wrong, it meant that nothing was wrong.
        This was back in the old days before email, so I would copy the PDR page that had the side effect of inability to swallow attributed to one of the drugs they were giving her, and I would mail it to her and tell her to STOP taking that damn drug! And she would tell me that her doctor told her it was important. I did this about 3 times and then gave up.

        So that is yet another reason I don’t trust doctors or drugs. After being a nurse for 35 years, I have many more reasons.

        • niner January 12, 2023 at 12:06 pm #

          What an incredible story, Paula. It must have broken your heart to watch your mother shrinking on doctor’s orders. And she resisted your help. How sad for you both.

          Just for curiosity, if you remember the name of that drug that impacted “swallowing,” i’d like to find out. Since i have developed severe swallowing pain 3 or 4 times a week, and increasing.

          • Paula D January 12, 2023 at 4:37 pm #

            It was Fosomax. They did a bone density test and told her she needed to take it to strengthen her bones.

            I pointed out that her bones weren’t going to be helped when she was so thin (she was 5’7”), and she did eventually fall and I think broke her pelvis. By then she was on hospice so they didn’t x-ray her.

            But it turns out that Fosomax doesn’t actually help your bone density anyway. Yet another drug sold that turned out to be both unsafe and ineffective. I don’t know if it is still on the market.
            It seems like they don’t take unsafe drugs off the market anymore.
            Obviously the GMO injectable is a huge case in point.
            As if I was going to take that experimental drug when I watched for 35 years as one ineffective drug after another was hyped by the detail people!

            Good luck on your swallowing issue. I hope it is not permanent.

          • Paula D January 12, 2023 at 4:40 pm #

            FYI, I did talk to an ER doctor I trusted about my mom and she suggested that my mother could have had a slight stroke which affected the part of her brain that controls swallowing, but which wouldn’t show up on a CT scan.
            I don’t think she had pain, though, just difficulty.

          • niner January 12, 2023 at 8:54 pm #

            Huh. A stroke maybe. Oh well, nothing to be done.

            I’ve thought it might be something to do with vegas nerve, because sometimes the pain is so consuming that i have to hold onto something to stay standing. And often it is just from a swallow of water. So, I just stretch out my neck and tilt my head up, to try to pull my esophagus into a straight line, the pain goes away usually in 20 or 30 seconds.

            I did have an upper GI a while ago, the doc said it was some kind of constriction of the “ring” of cartilage at the bottom of the esophagus. He said he stretched it somehow, but it would constrict/contract again.

            But at this point, I’m more afraid of the docs than I am of dying. Death can be a peaceful and welcome solution. You know — things wear out.

            Years back i had very good results for low energy with a Hong-Kong trained acupuncturist, traditional medicine. But after I moved there was only an American woman trained in the states. She didn’t help.

            I completely understand and sympathize with your feelings about current American medical care/health system.

            Very tough to stick it out for so long, Paula. You earned your respite.

            Did you leave before covid and the vaxx hit.

          • Paula D January 13, 2023 at 12:08 pm #

            I left before covid because I got fired for refusing the mandatory flu shot.

            Part of Obamacare was that all hospital employees had to be injected or Medicare would dock their compensation.

            It was an outrageous farce. None of us ever got the flu, although we were all exposed to every flu bug that hit the community, since people would come to the ER and demand a cure. We were all immune by the time they forced us to get a shot, in late November.
            AND the staff that was nowhere near patients, the ones in “corporate” whose only job was to go through the charts and find out where the people who actually worked had neglected to charge for some procedure, also had to get the shots. Clearly they were not in any danger. It was a farce, designed to make money for Big Pharma and to get people ready for the idea of mandatory injections.
            “Healthcare workers all have to be injected every year. Why shouldn’t you?” I just got sick of it. I found it oppressive as hell. So I refused.

          • niner January 13, 2023 at 12:52 pm #

            You are very brave, Paula.

            You are in the very small elect group who passed the test when the genociders took aim at you.

            You stood up and passed through them.

            I hope I would have had the courage to do the same.

            I’m very concerned what they are going to do when the next lab-made-plague and matching poison-vaxx runs over us.

            this time the fatality rate is going to be more than 0.05%.

            and there will be even greater pressure for forced inoculations, or exile to quarantine camps for the purebloods.

            saw a tweet that Lula-Brazil, is already forcibly vaxxing the 1000+ protestors his goons captured and sequestered.

            as the poster (Jim Stone) noted, the covid is over. the only purpose for forcible vaxxing is mind control, and i would add, health/disease control.

            as the vaxx clearly sickens and kills. and as the antenna structures in the blood build out, the speculation is that they will act upon the endorphin system through 5G frequency switches.

            i hope we can continue to encourage each other to stand firm against the coming programs, pograms, of the genociders.

        Of course once the transformation is past the point of no return, this is no more problems or questions as per that nation in and of itself. It is gone. Most of Western Europe is close to or past the point of no return – certainly not without a tremendous struggle and oceans of blood being spilt with no guarantee of victory.

        Nice try on South America, but I shut you down again. Tell them about the war fought in Paraguay to make Whites mix with Indians. The mixers won – and there are no more Whites there.

        Reality is. The Traditions approach it in their various ways. Do you hate me for truly being universal and catholic – which the Catholic church is not? Obviously at a lower level of my being, I have a particular body, nations, culture, and tradition. But I am tall enough to look over my own fence. Are you?

    I’m guessing that many of you here have read All Quiet on the Western Front. There have been 4 movies of the same name and the most recent was released in Sept 2022. The movie is streamed on Netflix. It captures the novel’s depiction of trench warfare perfectly. The movie is in German with English subtitles. To say “I highly recommend it” is understatement of the highest order. This is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen.

      Q,

      Erich Maria Remarque? Yes, I’ve read it, a long time ago. The one about being the last soldier to be killed before peace?

      WW1 was brutal. Senseless. The young men of Europe, butchered in their millions, for what. For nothing. For planting the seeds of an even worse catastrophe.

      War is shit.

      • Islander January 11, 2023 at 8:29 pm #

        If you like reading history books that delve below the official narrative, I recommend Hidden History: The Secret Origins of the First World War, by Docherty and Macgregor.

        Fascinating read. With quite a few photos.

        • Blackbird January 12, 2023 at 10:28 pm #

          I agree. Totally changed my perspective on WWI, and on the UK, and on Germany, and on WWII.

          And once you’ve gotten through Hidden History, it’s time for Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time, by Carroll Quigley. Every time I read it, I pick up something new.

          Then the perfect bookend: Icebreaker: Who Started the Second World War?, by Victor Suvorov.

          But you’ve read them already, haven’t you?

      • Woodchuck January 12, 2023 at 9:14 am #

        Take a broad look at the last 1000 years of European history, and I’m using this as an example. Europe’s entire historical record consists of mostly of one war after another. Studying history becomes an exercise in boredom because nothing ever really changes. It’s century after century of so many battles that it’s impossible to keep track of them or remember it all. Nations speaking different languages and various governments constantly fighting with each other and national boundaries constantly shifting around as the results of battles change the locations of borders.

        It seems that warfare was like football is today. Lots of pageantry going along with it including marching bands, spiffy and colorful uniforms, fancy armor, camp followers marching behind the troops etc. etc. Governments everywhere made decisions based on the outcome of battles. If there is a conflict with another nation, instead of resolving things through negotiations and diplomacy, the final decisions are controlled by the outcomes of battles. Men died in warfare, and women died while giving birth to a child. Maybe that’s how they kept the numbers balanced.

        • Blackbird January 12, 2023 at 10:47 pm #

          “Studying history becomes an exercise in boredom because nothing ever really changes.”

          And that’s why woodchucks go into meteorology.

          War is the noisy part of history, the part that tells you that something is changing. And war has dates that make it easy to remember (for those unfortunates who think history is all about dates).

          Take the Thirty Years War for example. A war (resulting in political and economic change) caused by sociological change (Protestant Reformation) enabled by technological change (the printing press).

          A WWI ignited by the UK (as presented in Hidden History) is very different than a WWI in which Germany is the villain (the story we are all taught).

          Now back to your burrow before you scare the Sun away.

          • Woodchuck January 13, 2023 at 7:12 am #

            Yeah, it’s noisy and some lose part of their hearing because of it. My hearing wasn’t good enough to start with to be able to pass the induction physical way back in the 70’s. I wasn’t able to experience it like some of my peers did in ‘Nam. Yes, the times they are a changin’ – and during the Obama presidency we had both hope and change AND war. I relaxed later in college, not having to worry about being drafted, and I got a degree in meteorology. I’m now an expert in meteors. It’s real simple, you don’t need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

    Today the FAA grounded all domestic flights for the first time since 9/11 sparking airport chaos with more than 4,000 delays. I chalk this up to antiquated technology and multiple layers of high tech that complicates matters further. They need to simply their flight software. Buttigig should be getting something done in his Transportation Department to fix all these airline issues. What a farce, welcome to the friendly skies.

        My daughter left for Indonesia on Boxing Day. It was for a diving holiday that had been meant to happen while she was living in Singapore, but was (paid for) and postponed for years because of covid. She had five flights to get her to the island she was headed for, and was screwed before even getting to London from Edinburgh as that flight was delayed for hours. So the flight to Doha was missed and everything after it. She eventually got another flight via Singapore, and made it within a few hours of the boat leaving for the diving trip.

        And they lost her luggage. She was finally reunited with it but not until she’d bought some clothes to keep her going. Neither the clothes nor – more significantly – the extra flight to the other side of the world was covered by her travel insurance.

        Organised chaos, I think.

      2nd time, SouthWest was grounded a few weeks ago.

      Maybe it is as they say, antiquated equipment and such. Believable?

      Here’s an alternative: prior to launch the airspace needs to be cleared so missiles aren’t taken out by airplanes before the missile reaches its target.

      I quit flying after 9-11 and the establishment of the TSA.

      No way I was going to be treated like a criminal for wanting to go somewhere. I switched to Amtrak, so that I would be treated like a traveler, not a prison inmate.

      But then I took a flight when my dad was dying. I just refused to go through the rape-a-scan, which pissed off the TSA thugs, because it involved extra work for them.

      I got sick as a dog after that flight. Thought I was going to die myself.

      So Never Again. It is a dehumanizing and oppressive experience, as well as dangerous to your health.

      • MaryQueen January 12, 2023 at 12:43 pm #

        I could not agree more.

        If they are trying to take away our ability to fly, I wonder what all these businesses who force one to travel are going to do? Should be interesting. Maybe there will be an uptick in privately-owned jets just used for these people. They already do this, but I mean for even lower-level professionals.

        • Paula D January 12, 2023 at 4:46 pm #

          It is stupid to make people fly to a meeting when they could just zoom.

          My son got a job in 2020 which was headquartered in San Francisco and was told that he had to show up in person 4 times a year.
          He went one time, but then covid comes along and lo and behold!, it turns out that going in person was of no particular need. Just bullshit hoops he was supposed to jump through.

          But then last year they made him go again.

    “Mr. Uche Nwaneri was an offensive guard in the NFL. He played seven seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2007 until he was released by the team in 2014. Mr. Nwaneri had a YouTube channel called The Observant Lineman.

    He was a die-hard vaxx zealot. Mr. Nwaneri, 38, not only received the injections himself, but referred to the non-vaccinated as “dumb asses” and “dumb MFers.”

    He advocated for vaccine mandates, and called for the non-vaccinated to be imprisoned.

    He collapsed and died in his West Lafayette, Indiana home on December 30. His wife found him unresponsive in the bedroom. The cause of death is a [post-injection] heart attack.”

    Biden aides find second batch of classified documents at new location. Aides to President Joe Biden have discovered at least one additional batch of classified documents in a location separate from the Washington office he used after leaving the Obama administration, according to a person familiar with the matter.

    I chalk this all up to early dementia. Biden clearly forgot that he even had these documents, and didn’t realize where he was leaving them. Dr. Jill should have helped him out some more. Maybe he was saving them to use as toilet paper so he could claim “my butt’s been wiped”. So many plausible explanations for this!

    More good news from today’s Situational Awareness;

    The PLA can likely put 5-6 American Division-equivalents across the Taiwan beachhead in 96 hours. That size of force exceeds all U.S. and allied military forces in the region capable of responding within two weeks of a Chinese attack on Taiwan or another U.S. ally.

    That’s in excess of 80,000 troops. And Artillery. And very short lines of communication. And offers PLA fighter aircraft mucho* loiter time.

    *Mucho…Mandarin for “A lot”

TSMC has indicated that it does not want a transfer of their proprietary methods…IBM just announced that they have “invented” a 2nm chip, how many years and how much money to put it into production is a question.

            China currently reported to be purchasing massive amounts of Gold, perhaps as a hedge against future “issues”. US military analysts report that China’s military policies are getting, what security analysts call “froggy” (sorry for the technical term…I don’t know any other way to put it).

      How could that be possible, E.? Its 110 miles between Taiwan and the mainland, and Taiwan has been digging in since about 1950. There has to be more concentrated artillery leveled at those Tiawan Straits than any place on earth.

        Imagine if China engaged Taiwan and Little Rocket man decided to move on South Korea at the same time? I just built two armys on Globalfirepower.com…

        Blue team: USA, Australia, Canada, South Korea and Taiwan against Red team :China and N. Korea.

        Blue team:212K men, 10.5K Tanks, Rocket Artillery 2.0K, Navy 939 ships

        Col. Doug Macgregor gives us his professional observations about China and Taiwan starting about 40m.

        Macgregor IMHO is the primo military analyst for public access.

        He interviews w/Napolitano at least weekly.

        The two young interviewers here — mostly i just skip past them.

        But this long form gives Macgregor the chance to let his hair down more than I’ve ever heard.

        He is usually right.

      What is bizarre is the official US policy recognizes that Taiwan is China and has since the 70s.

      So all this propaganda is ignoring official US policy and pretending that the US thinks that Taiwan is a separate country.

      And after they lie about their policy they invent an invasion and then pretend that it’s going to happen, any day now.

      Remember after Pelosi went to Taiwan and everyone was quite sure that the Chinese would invade Taiwan the next week?

      Yeah, didn’t happen. But no matter! This is America and we’re an Empire now and we create our own Reality. And when our predictions don’t come true we simply move on and invent more bullshit and get the Mighty Wurlitzer to play its bullshit tune and watch when everyone sings along.

      Yeah….no.

      What is actually happening is major US provocations over there in the South China Sea, which the US claims is not Chinese (just ignore the name, it’s actually an American sea).

      But the Chinese watched this play out in Ukraine and it is my guess that homie ain’t gonna play that game.

      The status quo has remained stable for the last 73 years. Why would anyone think that it will change just because US propaganda says it will?

    A tiny peace group in a town in Penn. holds meetings every once in a while and some guy videos them and puts them on YouTube, where they get a couple of hundred views.

    Then they held an event with Scott Ritter and a bunch of Ukrainians showed up to harass them. Apparently there has been another ratline operating, because these are not descendants of the first ratline post WW2, because they have accents.

    Anyway, Scott was in fine form and it pissed off the Ukie nationalists and made for fine entertainment, plus when they trashed him afterwards more people watched it.

    It will become easier and more convincing to combine a Jewish lineage and a Nazi aesthetic, and with pride rather than guilt and misgiving. The die is cast with the vast number of mixed Jewish/Gentile origins. They need a place to go. They need a tough identity. They won’t find it in the Christian church, nor will they find it in the synagogue. They certainly won’t find it among identity anti-Christian anti-Semites who use noble, rich, and inspirational Norse mythology as an excuse to rant about the “ZOG”. The only place a rational amalgam of proud admitted Zionist Odinist Bolshevik Nazi Imperialist Socialist Fascism will be found-and championed-will be in the Church of Satan.

    Anton LaVey

    Jarek: Quite a character! Not him or his group per se, but this mentality explains much about some of the stranger and darker aspects of Azov Brigade. The Jews, both the Orthodox and the rebels against it, have been on the forefront of Western Occultism for the last 2000 years. Many of the Gnostics were apparently disenfranchised and/or disappointed Jews, amazed or disgusted at the success of Christianity. Or most positively, admiring him but having their own interpretation of Christ’s life and teaching.

    Odinism and Zionism and Bolshevism all together? The latter two were already together. I hope you all knew that. But Odinism? Nazism? Even that? Even that. They seek to appropriate all things to themselves, you see. A masterful people. As Leonard Cohen said, You’ll never see us coming. This boggles our mind. We would never dream of doing this nor could we.

    But there is no ZOG! Of course not, Anton. But you’re right about one thing: You and yours aren’t welcome. We want something for ourselves, ourselves alone.

    To be fair, very few Jews are going to go along with LaVey in all this. From the Orthodox pov, such Jews are drifting even farther from God as revealed in the Torah, and by Moses, the Law, and the Prophets. And from the Liberal Jewish pov, this isn’t why they signed on with modern Western Culture.

    But God ordered them to throw down our high places. And by hook or by crook, they have done so and continue to do so. This is part of the common Jewish project – even among the liberals who don’t realize they are doing it for the most part. The Orthodox know they are doing it. Brother Nathaniel was walking down the street with a rabbi in Brookline. He pointed to a porn film showing at the Coolidge Corner theatre. What about that?, he asked. The rabbi smiled and said, That’s for the goyim. He wouldn’t touch such a business of course. But apparently he was fine with his secular brothers doing so. Nathaniel never accepted such a ruthless attitude. And contradictions like that led him out of Judaism and into Orthodox Christianity.

    Just a piece of the puzzle as far as the Azovs are concerned. Other pieces: the ethnic Russians who hate Putin and care nothing for the Ukrainians. And I suppose ardent Ukrainian nationalists, the descendants of those who accepted the Nazi promise of development. How did this group fight in the same brigade as the former group? Or did they? There are other militias, the Azovs are just the most famous in the West.

    Why did the Nazis favor them? They produce some beautiful people. But so do the Poles and Czechs. The Nazis never offered them anything. Maybe because they were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and thus rivals and opponents of the Germans? Perhaps the Ukrainians were farther away and thus could be looked at with non-jaundiced eyes.

  90. Why_weren't_we_asked_about_Degrowth January 12, 2023 at 1:42 am #

    What if we already passed the age of cheap abundant energy supplies? What if it happened about 20 years ago? What if in order to keep everything running we had to create enormous amounts of debt? What if we made a deal with the East, mainly China, that we would need to take turns shutting down our economies to avoid overheating into an inflationary crisis. The west shutdown in 2008 just about the time China hosted the Olympics and oil hit 140 a barrel. China had record growth in the ealrly teens while the West languished. In order to get the West back in growth mode in the next 5 years, the US spent 5 trillion on a short term plan to extract tight energy supplies.
    Drastic central bank measures were undertaken to pay for all of this new debt, but the global crisis energy sharing agreement with China wasn’t working. A new cycle of crisis narrative (global pandemic) was hatched in 2019 to severely shutdown the entire globe while simultaneously creating new record debts. The shutdowns and debt creation allowed for another spike of extreme growth but this latest expansion was short lived.

    Now the West is ready to again crush its economy, while China economically expands for a short period. The West will work on a new narrative (rapid response to climate change) and create a new debt cycle. This time the money will be spent on dismantling reliable energy infrastructure and kicking off Civil Wars.

    Re ““One of the definitions of sanity is the ability to tell real from unreal. Soon we’ll need a new definition.” — Alvin Toffler”

    Does anyone here have any ideas what Toffler meant with this statement? Did he offer a new definition of “real” and “unreal”?

    Of course I can come up with my own ideas, but I am wondering whether anyone knows what Toffler thought about this.

    Me: We are in such a hall of mirrors now that it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish actual reporting from propaganda and PR.

    But this was already the situation when Toffler was writing.

    Piercing the veil of confusion that powerful groupsj—absolute monarchs, priests, dictators, petty overlords, tribal warriors, and others— put out in order to control underlings has always required effort, determination, commitment, the basic gray matter, and other qualities.

    But humans have also evolved to have these qualities. I am thinking they might be “extensions” of the theory of mind.

    So, Toffler’s statement, while thought-provoking, on further thought seems to be a bit of a nothing-burger. But I don’t know the context in which he wrote this.

    • SpeedyBB January 12, 2023 at 9:57 am #

      Islander, I had a similar dismayed reaction to that bon mot of Mr Toffler. Leaves you hanging.

      Could say the same about A LOT of the McLuhan throwaways.

      “The medium” is NOT “the message”, but is certainly a major modulator and exercises a major effect on it.

      I realize that these gents were mostly keen on giving placid, plump Mr & Mrs America (& Canada) a thought-provoking jolt. Like pop musical lyrics, however, they do not survive close examination and peeling apart.

      I remember reading Future Shock back in 1975 as a HS book report assignment. Pretty decent read for young dumb ass me. I’ve heard some speculation since that he was a loosely connected Deep State asset all along. That wouldn’t surprise me. At the very least I’m sure he was plugged in to them for information.

      I also think the statement is self-explanatory, seeing what we’re seeing in the current day.

      • SpeedyBB January 13, 2023 at 6:00 am #

        Dis, what disappointed me most of all in FUTURE SHOCK was the total absence of any reference to the internet and the effect it would have on human civilization.

        Agreed, at that point (1975) it was still quite primitive, user-unfriendly and limited to a few geeks at lucky points, but after all – if the fellow is a FUTURIST should he not be able to sniff at a sensational trend like that?

        On the same subject, I just came across another paean to Bill Gates, and I definitely remember him brushing off the internet as a passing fad, round about 1995. Seems to have drained down the holy Memory Hole.

        You could make quite an impressive list of the trends that Gates & Ballmer managed to overlook, dismiss, belittle or ignore over the years. Lucky that one cash cow of theirs kept mooing to be milked.

      Islander,

      “justified true belief” is the classic definition of knowledge. Epistemology is the study of what knowledge meets – or not – that ideal.

      What can we know? Even before propaganda, precious little. I mean just from the philosophical point of view.

      The information domain is a war – always has – few would doubt this form of warfare has ever been more advanced. Information is abundant and pretty useless. We can’t know.

      I think what Toffler, and McLuhan too, were referring to is digitalization. Again, few can doubt that’s the goal: all things becoming pixels.

      So the medium IS the message: if it’s digitized, it’s open to manipulation and total control. And the “ability to tell real and unreal” disappears.

      Take price finding. How much money is out there? What does it represent? How much debt? Nobody knows. Take deepfakes. Take the volunteer plunge of the masses into a privacy-less world. Take crypto and state issued equivalents. Take revenge porn and blackmail. Take UFO’s. Take c19.

      If it’s bytes and pixels, it can be retouched or even created anew, and most of us will never know. And most of us are believers in pixels and bytes. Technology is unquestioned from any quarters.

      The only viable form of resistance, or independence, will at some point the hard decision to get severed, untethered, from pixels and bytes.

      That’s why it’s so important to achieve a degree of self sufficiency and local community. Food, water, energy will all have to go through the Matrix IF the energy supply holds.

      Being poorer and living harder lives will be the only territory left to the independent, in that scenario (power on, mostly). Power off will mean poorer and harder lives for everyone, including those willing to kowtow to power and surrender in exchange for steady entertainment and comfort.

      As toktomi would say, I could be wrong. Just another 2¢.

      • Islander January 12, 2023 at 1:04 pm #

        Rulo, I certainly take your points, and of course the idea that Toffler was referring to digitization is the low-hanging fruit in terms of an explication of his point.

        But do we know that Toffler was talking about bits and beeps?

        And does it matter? I don’t really think so. The medium is a kind of message, but it is not the message. The message is the message.

        The information age didn’t start with the binary (on/off) era.
        I would say it started with the invention of the printing press.

        People were producing pamphlets all over the place, and a pamphlet on the wrong subject, the wrong message, could cost you your head, or deportation to somewhere.

        Huge propaganda campaigns were waged certainly in the U”S post-Civil War. The Robber Barons such as Rockefeller understood very well how to sell the public a bill of goods via newspaper control. And Hearst; The Spanish=American War was an imperiallistic psy-op involving story plantsn in Hearst papers. The same goes for the run-up to WW1, as demonstrated by Docherty and Macgregor in Hidden History. Same goes for . . . . and on and on.

        Forbidden ideas, forbidden words—these go together. Just read this:
        httpX://www.zerohedge.com/political/uscs-school-social-work-bans-word-field-because-racism

        Wrapup:
        “Power over language equates to power over reality, and this is why woke progressives are hell-bent on limiting the range of acceptable words in the name of political correctness.”

        At least in the digital age we have a space to fight back and use whatever words we want, to say what we want.

        So. IMO the point of Toffler’s own words remains murky. Can mean anything.

        Did Toffler perhaps foresee the concentration of media in the 1990s under Clinton?

        Too me the attempt to control what we are allowed to say adn thus to control the description of experienced reality is a very clear message that is much more dangerous than the “bits’ medium itself. The problem is that the media concentration and the “bits” medium itself allows word hunters and controllers to hunt for transgressors and offenders more efficiently.

        This leads to more and more self-censorship and use of eupemism to escape the strictures. Thus, the divide seems to be more between our own formulations of our ideas and reality and what/how we are forced to express it for public consumption.

        Back to the USSR!!!

    You know what Stelmo I think Presidential Libraries, offices of former Presidents etc are full of so-called ‘Classified Material.’ Anybody who’s been in the military more than a few years most likely has handled ‘Classified Material’. Much of it is just routine documents. I don’t think former presidents ending up with ‘Classified Material’ was ever a big deal until Dems decided to use it as yet another cudgel against President Trump — after all the other efforts to criminalize him failed. Another attempt was Trump’s tax returns; we’ve been hearing for about 7 years now about Trump’s tax returns; well, they were finally released. Rest assured if there was anything that was illegal or questionable in those returns the NYTs and CNN would beat the story to death.

    • JohnAZ January 12, 2023 at 10:07 am #

      And it would have happened already.

          It’s a really good question. I haven’t formulated my thoughts really on it but have two initial idea bubbles. Could they be acting as if they are really getting tough with Biden so that they can make some sort of justification to really take it to Trump as well? The other one is sort of what you are maybe indicating. Is this the beginning of justifying removing him from office only to replace him with a completely controlled Kamala who could be even worse than Biden if that is possible?

          • Jarek January 12, 2023 at 2:35 pm #

        But they did.
        And now here we are, two years later. After Jan 20th, any new president installed can rule for 10 years.

        Will they Agnew Harris? I can’t believe our overlords want her.

  98. JohnAZ January 12, 2023 at 10:01 am #

    Unbelievable.

    The Post wrote a story that shows how really dumb they are.

    They have been blaming the California and SW droughts on AGW for more than a decade, ever since folks noticed Lake Mead and Powell keep going down due to too many people tapping them.

    So today, the atmospheric rivers into the California coast and the SW 2 that is causing so much damage to the California Coast are being caused by AGW according to the Post.

    Are these reporters daft?

    Right now climatologists are witnessing a climate change, not a weather change.

    Where is the research to find out why things have changed, in one year.

    I remember at least three swings like this in my lifetime, drought to rivers and back to drought.

    This is one of the worst cases of journalistic stupidity I have ever witnessed, another Leftie power grab.

    BTW, there is no solution for AGW, GND is a humongous joke. California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Nevada had better start building small dams on their rivers to trap the rivers when they occur. It is the ONLY solution for the drought years.

    BTW, three impacts on the Phoenix area due to Lake Mead.

    One. The city of Buckeye has developers west of the White Tank Mountains wanting to build a million homes there. Oops, Katie Hobbs just refused to give any future water taps due to the lack of 100 years of groundwater as required by law. They have to come up with supplemental water. As far as well water, groundwater,

    Two, Rio Verde, northeast of Phoenix, was developed decades ago as a wealthy exurb that was supported originally by groundwater. The wells ran dry, were drilled deeper and ran dry again. Until January1, they received their water in trucks from the city of Scottsdale. Last year, cuts were put on the CAP, the Central Arizona Project, the water line from the Colorado River, for Arizona due January 1. Scottsdale no longer has water to supply Rio Verde. Last report before the beginning of the year, folks there had no idea what to do. Could be a big time loss.

    A third is the Aggie area south of Phoenix, having been supplied by the CAP, farmers are being paid to hold fields fallow or change to more dry land crops.

    America, this drought is going to affect you. A quarter of the supply of produce eaten in the US comes from the SW.

    • JohnAZ January 12, 2023 at 10:04 am #

        E. to pick up an earlier thread …

        I actually saw a Brough Superior. If you remember the frequent Poster here, Ozone, or Ozone P, he belonged to a British Motorcycle Collectors Club … they had an event every year, Ozone provided the entertainment, and he brought me along as guest. (He really is an excellent musician. I’m surprised he wasn’t famous. Probably a lot of luck involved in getting famous) Anyway, one year they had a Brough. It was the star of the event. They had it roped off so you couldn’t touch it, but what a wonderful piece of machinery. Many other vintage motorcycles were exhibited too: Ariels, a Vincent, BSA, Triumph, many more I never heard of and can’t remember. British made some nice stuff back in the day. One wonders, what went wrong?

        • JohnAZ January 12, 2023 at 2:09 pm #

          Mary, they should have been building small dams throughout the region.

          Except there have been a group of tree hugging liberals trying to get both the Lake Powell and Lake Mead dams removed.

          Liberals are too stupid to realize the implications of what most of them want to do. If a larger population moves into an area, infrastructure need to be built.

          California has made the same mistake. Too many people. People have known Mead was falling for thirty years. No action, politically stifled. Now, too late.

          BTW, all the rain you hear about is in Northern California, snow too. We are still dry after a couple of rains. The frequent rains have not helped much, the last I saw Mead was at 1044 ft, up 4. That is elevation at the surface. It took from 1936 to 1983 to fill Lake Mead until the spillways ran over, over 1200 feet. It has been going down ever since.

          If it goes dead pool in 2024 as expected, there will be no water for the CAP, about 40% of Phoenix and Tucson, no water for around 40% of Southern California, some left for Vegas, none for the Natives of West Arizona.

          Now, RR jerk, just keep laughing.

          • MaryQueen January 12, 2023 at 6:38 pm #

            They also don’t allow people to collect the rainwater. If they were smart, they’d have a way to do that.

            CA likes endless developers building where no one should. There are areas that have McMansions that are deserted because people got sick of their pets being eaten by mountain lions, or they got buried in a mudslide.

            By then of course, the developers are long gone.

I read Thomas Wolfe’s books “The Electric Koolaid Acid Test” and “The Pumphouse Gang”, and it made me want to visit the place. It sounded like a much more cool place to be than in hillbilly country. Unfortunately it is no such place anymore. But I’ve been binge watching an old 50’s tv series called “Highway Patrol”, and it was filmed in the areas around LA. You’ll see what rural and suburban California used to look like and how people dressed in that era, what cars they drove. The cars are particularly interesting. It was another California then – and a far better and more attractive one. I’ve no interest in visiting today’s Ca.

      The swings you have witnessed are micro swings. There are also macro swings and those take hundreds or thousands of years. Eventually the Southwest will be covered with numerous lakes and rivers and grasslands and forests. Same thing for the Sahara desert. About 40 thousand years ago Louisiana was a boreal forest with spruce and fir trees that grow now in Maine!! And the cypress forests grew in areas that are now beneath the water of the Gulf of Mexico.

          Wow that is so hard to imagine a wall of ice that tall! It must have been an amazing sight to see a mile high wall of ice rising from the tundra. Of course if it was like a steep wall. Maybe it graded down to hills and slopes that came down to just being a layer of ice and snow on the ground. That would be neat too! I like the ice i suppose but I like plants and the greenery more. Did you know that the taiga forests form some of the darkest surfaces on earth? Like if you were looking at them from way up high or even better from space.

            Think about how difficult it is for God to get us to be able to relate to him. male female ? We do not seem to be able to relate to what God is, The Creator!!!

            I read you as being tongue in cheek, but you gave me an excuse to talk about me feelings on this.

            Jesus used Abba as the descriptor of God, Father. It is because He entered the world as a Male, a Father figure. It is interesting that he never referred to himself as The Father.

            Remember that Father is a volunteer position, something many men are forgetting today. Jesus reminds us that God is here to aid and assist us, to be our life coach, much as a Father.

            Mother is a gift, the bringer of Life. She is committed to the creation by flesh, unlike the father. A man helping to create a life without being a father to that life is committing the most mortal of sins.

            Ever wonder why fatherless populations are evil?

    I had a cool HS history teacher who talked about Toffler’s book, “Future Shock” so then I read it in ’96.  I thought it was amazing, it allowed a way of rational predicting of the future. 
    Reading the book when I was 23, it opened me up to other non-fiction future prediction books, like JHK’s stuff. 
    “Future Shock” was dystopian in that the premise was, future shock was like culture shock, but will just keep coming.  The future of MORE entertainment and choices of same products was too much immediate change for the slow progression of change that our brains had evolved to be used to.
    I actually read the other 2 books in his trilogy and that’s when I think Toffler had become a shill for the government and the diversity in products was described more of a dizzying ride and high to get used to, rather than a negative thing.
    ‘Future Shock’ felt prescient when i read it, 26 years after it was written.  Curious how it would read now.

      It helps to have a rational personal philosophy to deal with the onslaught of changes for two reasons.

      First: Wth a strong internal compass your desire to conform and go brain dead is reduced..

      Second: It is far easier to see what ‘changes’ are bullshit and treat them accordingly because the contradictions become apparent.

    Violence against indigenous Brazilians and illegal incursions on their land roughly doubled in the first two years of Bolsonaro’s government from the two years prior, according to The Missionary Council for Indigenous Peoples (CIMI).

      Lula is no different and perhaps worse. Most of the people he has jailed and killed so far are indigenous. Many many more will be genocided under his rule. Globalists and Uniparty warmongers love weaponizing one group against another. The process of dividing and conquering.

        What did you find?

        Where did you find it?

        BTW, I would like to find out whether the Woodwell Climate Research Center, formerly the Woods Hole Research Center, has a WEF connection.

        It now describes itself as “Woodwell Climate Research Center is a leading source of climate science that drives the urgent action needed to solve the climate crisis.”

        “the climate crisis” is a theory, and a very muddy one at that. IMHO, a science organization that hews to a particular view of the field it is studying is no longer really a science organizaition, but some kind of political or ideological sciece cadre.

        Before the renaming and reincarnation, the mission of the Woods Hole Research Center was

        “TO ADVANCE SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY AND SEEK SCIENCE-BASED SOLUTIONS FOR THE WORLD’S ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC CHALLENGES THROUGH RESEARCH AND EDUCATION ON FORESTS, SOILS, AIR, AND WATER.”

        My suspicion is that the WHRC has been captured by climate change activists based in DC.

        • JohnAZ January 13, 2023 at 12:59 am #

          The reason why I believe things are warming is the slow disappearance of ice, especially glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere. The impact of this will definitely shift things around.

          However, what if things just switch around again and things cool off for a hundred years.

    My 96-year-old, tiny, obstinate, retired-nurse, Great Grandma refused to be vaccinated and demanded Ivermectin which her son acquired for her at the beginning of Covid. She had worked in the jungles of Africa in the late 40s and 50’s helping to vaccinate African people. When she studied exactly what Covid was, she knew Ivermectin was what she needed and was so angry that the medical world would not report the positive of Ivermectin. She ended up catching covid from a vaccinated relative that was visiting her and refused a hospital. We all thought this would be G.G.’s end. With family keeping a close 24-hour watch G.G. was given Ivermectin for 3 days. She got sick as if with the flu but is now just fine and back to booking around on her walker and ornery as ever. I recommend everyone to have ivermectin for emergency situations! You can get yours by visiting getmeivm.com

      That’s hard to believe. Our local NBC news outlet runs a daily Climate Change segment; just this morning the subject was melting ice caps (both ice caps) and how the Ct coast will be flooded out by 2030. 2030 seems to be the agreed upon year when Climate Armageddon will strike if nothing is done. The date has been moved up from c2000, 2010, & 2020. Ice Caps aren’t melting at -60°F. Somebody has to be lying, but who?

      @N.O. You said (or quoted someone?)

      “More than one million vaccines were put under the microscope and contained both the spike protein and dangerous toxic foreign matter.”

      Um, excuse my ignorance but this doesn’t make sense to me: as I understand it, the vaccine causes your body to manufacture the spike protein, so how can they be found to be IN the vaccine?

      Also, “dangerous toxic foreign matter” – this doesn’t mean much without some reference to what this “toxic foreign matter” is, and an explanation as to why it is “dangerous”.

      I remain sceptical about the whole question, especially when someone so committed to the “anti-vaxx” alarum, as you, puts up a comment that is so transparently weak and illogical.

      • Islander January 12, 2023 at 10:38 pm #

        Your comment shows that you are the one who has not been following the discussion of the mRNA vaccines’ features and do not understand how, it was put forth, they were supposed to work. .

      • JohnAZ January 13, 2023 at 1:19 am #

        Suzin

        I do not understand how s protein could be in the vaxx either, but the toxic foreign matter may be the carriers for the mRNA.

        LDL and HDL carry fats in the plasma as fats do not mix with water.

        These vaccine nanoparticles are the same, carrying the mRNA into cells.

        What happens then is what the discussion is all about. Blood tests have shown bits and pieces of carriers an mRNA and s proteins for months.

        No one knew what this was going to do for sure.

        What has bothered me is if overreaction of the immune system causing lung distress and clots during alpha Covid, it was the s protein that the body was reacting to. So why the hell did they pick the s protein to propagate?

        How about this theory, the s protein was mapped during the development of the Covid Bioweapon and the mRNA could be manufactured quickly to produce it.

        IMHO, genetic manipulation should be hands off by man and left in the hands of God.

    Re what I wrote up=thread:

    “The fact that a few entities have made a lot of money along the way or perhaps have their own agendas and are only semi-aware of the big picture doesn’t change things. There are of course a thousand subplots and side s”

    OK, here is some reinforcement—strong reinforcement—of this speculation that lower levels of the operation didn’t know what was realliy going on. Originally in the Daily Sceptic and now at the Unz Review, Will Jones, writing about the lab-leak theory, writes this:

    “But if the lab leak was the intended cover story, why was it shortly afterwards suppressed as a ‘conspiracy theory’? It is a matter of public record that this occurred largely due to the efforts of Anthony Fauci, Jeremy Farrar and other Western scientists, who organised a scientific cover-up of evidence that might implicate their complicity in the gain-of-function research that they suspected may have created the virus. Did they know about the attack? There’s no evidence they did. Which means they would also have been in the dark about the intended cover story. Indeed, one of the conspirators, Christian Drosten, in one of the disclosed emails directly asks the group where the “conspiracy theory” of a lab origin has come from. Farrar and Fauci, for their part, appear to be genuinely exploring the origin questions in their emails (while clearly aiming for a particular answer).”

    Sure, Fauci et al. were making a lot of money along the way, but first it was CYA operation for them.

    Do read the whole thing.

      “How plausible is all this? It certainly fits the evidence, though perhaps there is another, more innocent way of explaining it all.”

      It is all just a bunch of “noise”.

      “Never let a good crisis go to waste, …”

      What was the first issue, for which there did not appear to be a viable solution, that was resolved? How about China dealing with the issue in Hong Kong? I didn’t hear one peep by a world leader in protest.

      “Farrar and Fauci, for their part, appear to be genuinely exploring the origin questions in their emails (while clearly aiming for a particular answer).””

      Even though the likes of Fauci, Xi, Kerry, (many high-up government officials) were in bed with each other at the WEF, Xi could have ordered the release, and then word would/could have gotten around to use the crisis as an opportunity to deal with a variety of world issues. If one rats on the other, the whole ship goes down.

      What better way to obscure the truth, than to make a bunch of (conflicting) “noise”? Especially, when they all have each other’s backs.

    Today from Martin Armstrong. this is ringing a bell re more Clinton dirt—harm done to the economy by the Clinton administration:

    ” The Clintons removed all restraints and allowed interstate banking which siphons money from local regions and deploys it someplace else. ”

    One could argue that this dissolution of internal barriers in the banking business played into the Davos agenda.
