And thanks to all my Patrons for your support!
A major premise of my 2005 book, The Long Emergency, was that government at the highest level would become increasingly ineffectual and impotent as the melodrama of national collapse plays out. So, there was no small irony that the floundering political elites would settle on the pathetic figure of “Joe Biden” to symbolically head a foundering government. They picked the very embodiment of collapse to usher in collapse, and that is why “Joe Biden” appears to be nothing more than an usher, somebody whose only duty, say, at a funeral, is to show the more important attendees to their places before the ominous casket.
Nobody believes that he is in charge of the executive branch, or even in charge of himself, as he shuffles stiffly out to the podium with eyes gone all slitty to do the one thing his minders have trained him to do: read a teleprompter. Surely the leaders over in Europe were uncomfortably bemused by his recent appearance among them, as if the USA sent a ghost from the bygone 20th century to spook our allies into mindfulness of self-preservation — message: the great power that rescued you in two world wars is gone, and you are on your own now.
The collapse is universal, though, playing out globally in different flavors of culture and economy, but well underway, for Europe, too, and eventually even China. It’s a collapse of modernity and the techno-industrial horse it rode in on. The extreme political narcissists of the day, intoxicated with messianic fantasies, would like to retail a Great Reset in a desperate effort to prevent modernity from becoming yesterday’s tomorrow. But it only seems to amount to an obsessive-compulsive wish to push everybody around and herd populations into controllable corrals that, some suspect, are just a prelude to a not-far-off global Auschwitz. “You will own nothing and you will be happy” is about as reassuring as “work will make you free.”
The USA, with its more anarchic ethos, can only offer laughable rationales for its failures on the disorderly way to bankruptcy and breakdown. Naturally, the folks in-charge are terrified of any challenge to their unconvincing rule. The election audit underway in Arizona is driving them up a tree. The latest desperate gambit is the New York State court system’s move to suspend Rudy Giuliani’s law license as a sort of warning to anyone else who would try to cast doubt on the ironclad rectitude of the recent election.
The New York court’s Attorney Grievance Committee states:
….there is uncontroverted evidence that the respondent [Giuliani] communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to the courts, lawmakers, and the public at large in his capacity as a lawyer for former president Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump’s failed effort at reelection in 2020. These false statements were made to improperly bolster respondent’s narrative that, due to widespread voter fraud, victory in the 2020 presidential election was stolen from his client.”
Notice the assertion that contesting the vote is necessarily proscribed, and that any argument to that end is in the service of a false “narrative,” which is necessarily inadmissible. Since when is it against the rules to have a point-of-view? Especially a legal point-of-view about legal matters, in courts of law and in the public arena? Now, it happens that a number of state courts dismissed cases brought by Mr. Giuliani, without bothering to entertain any evidence, most particularly affidavits Mr. Giuliani proffered detailing voting irregularities. The courts didn’t want to hear it. If that is proof of anything, it may only be of corruption in the state courts. Has anyone noticed that the grievance committee is manufacturing a narrative of its own, very possibly a false one?
In fact, there is one legal review of the 2020 balloting currently underway in Arizona, at the order of the Arizona State Senate, as it should be because, according to the US constitution, elections are a prerogative of the fifty states’ legislatures. It’s not “a narrative.” It’s as official as can be, and they have every right to do it, and there’s a fair chance that it will uncover both ballot fraud and voting machine fraud. I suppose all that seems “baseless” if you refuse to look. Also, this week a judge in Georgia approved a process to unseal roughly 145,000 mail-in ballots in Fulton County (the Atlanta metro region) to inspect them for fraud. The ruling stems from a lawsuit against the county that alleges evidence of fraudulent ballots and improper counting. “Joe Biden” won the state by a mere 12,000 votes.
Other states, notably Pennsylvania, are taking action toward their own 2020 vote audits, and through the proper legislative channels. The “incontrovertible evidence” of a fair and honest election is the fraud at issue. There are only assertions that it would be wrong to even look for it, and it’s hard to imagine a weaker argument. So, the politburo behind “Joe Biden” is running scared. The New York court’s action against Mr. Giuliani is just a peevish act of political desperation aimed at disabling a legal adversary. That and Attorney General Merrick Garland’s threat to shut down the Arizona audit on specious “civil rights” grounds are just attempts to create distractions for a regime that begins to apprehend it is whirling around the drain.
As “Joe Biden” fades altogether from the scene, the country will have to grapple with the real problems it faces, not hobgoblins of racism, misogyny, white supremacy but how to cope with a dwindling energy supply and a falling standard of living, and how to remain civilized. We’re doing a good job of destroying the institutions that make civilization possible, especially law and the courts.

What about the shots fired from a Russian boat?
crisis, which crisis?
Just Putin having fun at our expense.
Russians fired on Brits.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1kJbUNOqsA
Malth, History tells us that Poking the Bear is not a good idea, and more often than not leads to disaster.
Payback for the Russia Russia Russia narrative?
I doubt it, Beryl. Americans care about the American bull-shit narrative.
Vlad Putin’s got Bigger fish to fry.
I have no illusions about Putin, but the way the EU has been poking its nose into the Ukraine and Baltic States could prove very costly. These are Russia’s traditional buffer zones and God help anyone who throws their weight around there. He will react in the same way as any US President would (before Obama), if the Russkies started sending “observers” and “advisors” to Mexico.
That aluminum destroyer would burn fast had they been in earnest.
You lie.
They didn’t.
#Putin2024, I say- though I doubt he’d take the dismal job.
Correct. Why would anyone want to be the head of a dying empire and quickly sinking morass?
Frightening conjecture: https://seemorerocks.is/hal-turner-it-starts-next-week-june-28/
Entirely plausible.
This was a direct warning to Britain that Russia is prepared to actually bomb British war ships if they make additional, unauthorized, entry into Russian territorial waters.
Bronnert then attempted to engage in a repeat discussion of what she called “the illegal Russian annexation of Crimea.” The Russian Foreign Ministry told her that they “would not discuss a situation which does not exist” and then dismissed Bronnert, telling her she was to leave the building.
One is left to wonder whether or not British Ambassador to Russia Bronnert explained that NATO is providing a long overdue career path for its trannies & “cocksuckers.”
Sometimes those Russians can be so steely-cold in their resolve that they completely ignore the military career path options for their own Lesbians and Queers. It is very concerning.
My son is leaving the British navy in exactly 3 weeks. If I maybe be allowed a brief moment of coarseness: Thank F*ck!
Rum, Sodomy and the Lash. Secret to British naval expense. Until the Japanese gave them a humiliating kick in the crotch.
‘expertise’ -sorry- typing too fast!
Don’t forget the actual ass kicking the Japanese gave the Russians as well.
“The Band Played Waltzing Matilda” from Rum, Sodomy & the Lash.

Yep but the Russians got even for that in the second world war, that’s the real reason Japan surrendered when they did, and Russia walked off with a few islands to boot.
June 28th. Yep, that’s the date somebody wants to repeat one more time.
Wow. Looks like we might be finding out how the New Model US Armed Force — with open homosexuality, transvestite worship, ladies in the ranks, and a woke ideology — stacks up against Russian Armor and Infantry.
Is Russian Spetznatz “Woke”? Does anybody know?
Brh
https://www.rt.com/usa/527308-nellis-airforce-drag-show/
The Royal Navy must have been thought it was still the 1850s or something in the Black Sea.
Crimean War Redux.
Brits will be sending in the Light Brigade haha.
The best way to nip this ugly “exercise” in the bud is for the people of Crimea to quickly form some get-togethers at the ports with giant signs reading “Crimea is Russian. Stay Out.”
Of course they would need some good international publicity to get those photos out to the Internets.
It is interesting how the whole “exercise” meme keeps rearing it’s ugly head.
Recall in March of 2020 how Mike Pompeo, former director of the CIA and Secretary of State (they run all the wars and war games) said regarding Covid-19 and the international lockdowns, “This is an exercise.”
BRH: more like the Tights Brigade in this day and age. There’s a fine old British unit called the Queen’s Regiment. I think they may need to change their name today.
We regularly read hysterical headlines in the British press about Russian fighter jets that get “intercepted” over the North Sea, or Russian subs that lurk around British waters.
Naturally, most Britons share in the paranoia and have a very negative view of Russia. They’ve never been there or even met a Russian but they just know how bad they are because the Daily Mail says so.
If you ask them what a British warship is doing 1500 miles away in their territorial waters, or ask for some examples of the countries Russia has bombed, invaded and destabilised in their lifetime you obviously get no answer. But Russia bad.
Next time I hope the Russkies bomb them clean out of the water.
Correct. And Russian planes and warships are perfectly allowed to pass through international airspace and waters. Just like we are. What’s really going on here is that the perverts who rule our Western nations hate Putin and the Eastern Europeans for not kowtowing to the rainbow cult and other globalist evils.
You just nailed it.
Exactly, no wonder the Moslems and the Eastern Europeans don’t respect us any more. Why should they? They rightly understand the importance of masculinity while we produce “men” who are effeminate nancies. If men pretend to be women or vice versa sane people have to pretend they are too and those who say otherwise risk losing their jobs or even their freedom.
Yet the globalists demand that they become more like us. No. We should become more like them.
What about more American patriots arrested in Florida for being at the capitol on 1/6. The FBI IS the American Gestapo.
I notice that former VP Mike Pence has just piped up, making some remarks against President Trump, and pretending that what he was asked to do but didn’t on January 6 was something other than what it was.
It seems odd that Pence completely separates himself from the president, when he was his running mate and he himself was cheated out of a win.
He didn’t seem to mind at all, much like the way Bernie didn’t get mad when he found out that the primary was rigged against him.
There too, candidate Donald Trump made claims of fraud; and guess what? He was right!
Standing up to the pretense of the professional politicians and powers of darkness is what makes Donald Trump special and dearly beloved by many.
Yet:
1) President Trump told those that dearly belove him to be in DC for Jan. 6 as it would “be wild.”
2) He spoke to them Jan. 6 and riled them up at the Lincoln Memorial.
3) He told them to go to the Capital Bldg – that he’d meet them there
4) He never showed
5) They did … and were herded into the Cap. Bldg.
6) The ridiculou “murder” of “Ashli Babbitt” was staged
7) Many who dearly beloved President Trump are now in dungeons sans Process of Justice.
8) The Donald golfs.
There’s a conspiracy theory that the grandmother who recanted was a plant all along.
Yes. blanket pardon for anyone not engaged in violence. Instead, a bunch of grifters and convicted embezzlers:
https://www.justice.gov/pardon/pardons-granted-president-donald-j-trump-2017-2021
I did not agree with the March on DC, but Trump’s failure to protect the loyal crowd that came out for him (ignoring anyone who did violence, like breaking down doors) was despicable. He lured them there for a pity rally for himself, to make himself feel better.
True, Dr. Tom. That’s exactly what I thought. But Jan. 6 was hardly a resurrection – some minor physical damage and a little theft. When Andrew Jackson opened up the White House to the people in the 1820’s, there was more damage, but Andy didn’t mind and said it was ok because it was the people’s house.
Connecting the dots: Trump! is just Part of the Act; useful for identifying those ultra-dangerous™ dissidents who believe (i.e., know) that they’ve been bumphuc*ed by the Very Few for the
last forty-plus years..
Shorter: it’s Theatre, dudes: the “elections”, the “investigations” the “audits”.. use your imagination.
No riling up whatsoever, OG, to anything remotely resembling a real insurrection. I was there and know.
OG is confusing Jan 6 with the Left’s assault on the Wisconsin state capitol back in 2011. Except that Pelosi approved of that one. The Left’s definition of insurrection clearly depends on who’s doing the trespassing.
I notice that former VP Mike Pence has just piped up, making some remarks against President Trump, and pretending that what he was asked to do but didn’t on January 6 was something other than what it was.
What does this mean? As Chair of the Joint Session of Congress, Vice President Mike Pence performed his duties prescribed by the Constitution and Legislation.
Just because the World’s Worst Loser wanted him to break the law does not mean he was in a position to do so. Anyway – what could he have done? If he had rejected Joe Biden’s electoral win, the House would have simply over-ridden him, or failing that, Nancy Pelosi would have become Acting President.
It was then and is now all total madness – Pence was not a hero and not a villain … he performed the ceremonial role as laid out by law.
No one asked Pence to break any law.
Donald Trump explicitly asked him to do what he was not lawfully empowered to do. So that’s pretty close .
GreenAlba must’ve gotten the day off.
Your interest in my wellbeing is kindly noted, Sweet William.
It always tells me a lot about a person when they’re the one who tries to stick the knife in even when you’re saying nothing.
And appeals to the gallery.
Always the same types.
*saying anything*
Right the first time – thought i saw a ‘not’ in there.
Never mind.
People like you aren’t worth worrying about anyway.
If someone steals from you and you report it that makes you a sore loser – right! Election fraud in 2020 isn’t nonsense; it’s documented fact with more to come.
Election fraud 2020 has not been confirmed by a single court (despite 60 attempts), and not by one of 50 states. So if it’s documented, they’re keeping it very much to themselves.
Look at you denying reality even after hundreds of people came forward to testify UNDER oath they saw illegal shit going down.
After endless videos showing people doing bad things and trying to cover them up even while denying access to observers.
Yet here you are pretending you care about elections.
You don’t care at all about free, fair, transparent, honest elections all you care about is brand Democrat wining at all costs.
You are literally an enemy of the American people and our great Representative Republic.
benr, This is what Tekapo does. Boldly states a lie. Never acknowledges correction. Just runs off to tell more lies.
Look at you denying reality even after hundreds of people came forward to testify UNDER oath they saw illegal shit going down.
I have never ever said the 2020 election was fair and honest – I have assiduously avoided doing so because I cannot prove it.
But if there are hundreds of sworn affidavits and dozens of eye-witnesses, how did the Trump lawyers NOT get one court of 60 or one state of 50 to have a good look?
Were the Kraken Lady and Hair-Dye working undercover for the FBI – to make sure the former guy got the bullet? Is there a triple play going on? Were all the judges bent?
Anyway – all the whingeing in the world about affidavits and witnesses don’t matter a pinch of shit unless you can get someone in authority to agree with you. The whingeing definitely does not turn it into a fact.
Don’t call Guiliani “Hair-Dye”, he’s a greater man than you will ever be.
Yep and it’s been going on ever since the country was founded, the only difference is which ox is being gored.
History will not be kind to Pence. He had his moment to choose greatness. He chose treason and betrayal instead. And the fool still thinks he’s in the running for Potus.
History will not be kind to Pence. He had his moment to choose greatness. He chose treason and betrayal instead. And the fool still thinks he’s in the running for Potus.
Utter malarkey – VP Mike Pence performed the precise ceremonial role he was required to perform, even though it was costing him his own job. Anything else is kool-aid sipping, and repeating the nonsense spouted by the World’s Biggest Loser.
But I agree that Mike Pence won’t win the Republican Party beauty pageant in 2024 – because of people thinking like you. It’ll be some far-right fruit-cake.
They drank Flavor Aid at Jonestown.
Glad you’re addressing the salient points!
if you ever made an actual honest point someone might take the time to address it.
if you ever made an actual honest point someone might take the time to address it.
I have made the salient point twenty times probably – and I am the only one on here who has:
Vice President Mike Pence was bound by (a) the Constitution, (b) relevant legislation, and (c) Congressional Rules, to behave exactly as he did to perform the ceremonial role of opening the electoral college results and have them recorded.
Not ONE person on here has been willing to discuss this reality. Why not? Because there is no comeback – that is the reality.
Pence is about as relevant as Dan Quayle or Dick Cheney these days.
He is quickly fading away……
When our military is composed of exclusively transgender persons of color sitting at laptops directing drone strikes on cis-gender, transphobic wedding parties on the other side of the globe, we will have achieved Peak Wokeness.
The “trans” folk will have a rude awakening when they find out no one in power really cares about them, they are just an instrument for implementing an agenda.
They’re about .006% of the population, but “trans” folks loom large in the purview of Ny & DC media, and some Dem pols.
They love us blaspheming God’s creation.
Their fear is palpable and the sole reason they deem 1/6 an “insurrection.” They drape the Capitol in barbed wire then boast that guns won’t work if you want to fight the government; you’ll need F-15s and nukes. Oh, but that kid in war paint and a bison hat nearly succeeded in his coup attempt. These people are stupid and depraved.
Awesome post

Well stated.
Over here in the People’s Republic of Trudeau the government is doing its’ best to hide any documents that might shed light on why two scientists were fired from a government virology lab in Winnipeg. All we know so far is that the two scientists were escorted off the the premises in early 2019 by the RCMP and fired eighteen months later, The Liberal government, trying desperately to prove to the country and the world that it deserves a seat at the grownups table, ignored the opposition Conservative party’s demand that it produce all unredacted documents related to the firings and touted it’s latest “green energy” and “diversity” policies to anyone that would listen. Meanwhile that poor bastard Justin Trudeau has gone AWOL as of late, He was last seen at the G7 summit trying to convince world leaders to take him seriously but to no success.
Hey Timmy,

Actually, all we really need to do is ignore them, as the states take up their previous functions out of necessity and they become increasingly irrelevant. They can sit there behind their barbed wire, mumbling incoherently, enacting legislation to which no one pays any attention. I understand DC is practically empty. Government buildings are closed. I suppose their people are working from home. Where is Congress meeting these days? Are they simply zooming their business? I understand they are using the 3/4 size replica of the White House in Georgia, along with various sound stages for various appearances. There’s hardly any traffic on the streets and parking is wide open. The FBI building is boarded up. The Pentagon relocated to Cheyenne Mountain at the beginning of the Covid-19 spread, and has apparently not returned. I suspect they never will.
They don’t even try to be consistent. They just say whatever sound bite that the “moment” demands and count on the American people’s infamously short attention span to consign what was said down the Orwellian “Memory Hole” before the next self-contradictory sound bite is uttered.
The shitshow continues and maybe we’re heading for the scenario depicted by Greer in his “Twilight’s last gleaming”. If the central govt. collapses, it could end up freeing us from the consequences of a variety of bad decisions made by courts over the years establishing dysfunctional precedents that have sunk us. Among the more significant bad decisions is the establishment of legal “standing” for any NGO or other group to sue anyone for anything using the specious claims of “harms” to constituencies manufactured to order with the goals of obstructing and and all projects or actions that the plaintiffs simply do not like for ideological or aesthetic reasons. If we got rid of that, we could do things…
It seems to be the trend that standing is for anyone but those who actually have legal standing.
Yes, I still have trouble believing our Supreme Court said that. Cognitive dissonance. America is gone but I can’t seem to believe it. It’s just their way of saying, We don’t want to hear it so we’re not going to. And they didn’t want to hear it because they didn’t want to look at the evidence – because they knew what the would find. The Establishment closed ranks – right to the top. The other two branches were mostly gone, but we imagined the judicial was not.
Denial is one of the first stages in grieving a death.
The judiciary has been kneecapped in most countries in the West. There was a great discussion on this in a recent Corona Ausschuss meeting here in Germany.
The politicians closing ranks would have little impact in the end if the judiciary were still functioning.
Whether election theft or a Plandemic, what we are witnessing has in aggregate been carefully worked out over many years.
Oh good. We can repudiate their odious debt. China’s going to be pissed.
“… but how to cope with dwindling energy supplies”
We are assured that problem has been solved.
Refineries and power plants are being decommissioned as we speak, in Cal., the Caribbean and NY.
I read tech articles on Yahoo every single day on the efficacy of wind turbines, solar panels and EVs, which stand ready to pick up any slack in energy production, and will allow us to continue as we have in the past 60 years.
The only thing holding Renewables back are Republicans, Donald Trump, and evil oil companies. (Not the implacable Laws of Thermodynamics)
Brh
uh, you are a smart and street smart old man.
do you know ‘its’ about depopulation?
ya hear about the jewish princess killed in Ctown? her career was to help black criminals.

Yeah I heard about her, stabbed in the back while walking down the street in Chicago.
Well, at least she wasn’t a victim of GUN VIOLENCE.
BRH
What of depop, Heckler?
You regularly point out your confusion that TPTB promise 50% of 2005-level carbon, are decommissioning old generation, are not building new generation and the new can’t replace the old regardless … and then you don’t wrap it up with the incredibly obvious:
Energy_Use/Person x People = Energy_Use
Depop is the obvious answer to your regular conundrum, Heckler, imho.
That is not going as well as they planned. I’m seeing figures of only approximately 38% to 42% of the US population has fallen for the vaccine scam. Biden’s never going to reach 70% by 4th of July. Rumor has it, if he doesn’t meet his quota, he and probably Harris will be replaced; not right away, of course, but before the first of the year. No one believes Harris can assume the position of POTUS. Her job performance is appalling, she is disliked by everyone, and that constant nervous cackle and inane grin are tells that she is way out of her depth.
OG, you are prescient …
The only way really to meet Paris Climate Goals is liquidating the human race. Everything else is folly.
Could be that’s where the Climate Crisis fanatics are taking us.
Brh
This is not an American story, draupnir. This is a global story.
Americans are 4.3% of Earths’s population. Assuming your 38% to 42% is correct (it is not*), it would be statistically irrelevant to the billions jabbed all over this planet these past 6 months.
Their depop is Right on schedule.
*177mm/330mm = 54% of all Americans.
Once you subtract the Americans ineligable (under 12), that percentage increases.
@draupnir, you are correct, but you sure wouldn’t know it from the MSM. On Becker’s Hospital Review, looks like 17 states at 50% or more fully vaxxed; 15 at 40% or below. Even allowing for larger populations in some the the 50%+ states, doesn’t seem to add up to great enthusiasm for the shots.

stabbed by a black man, homeless.
when popo showed, he slashed his own throat.
in a small enclave called Beverly Grove in West Hollywood at the end of March.
It was on all the major news channels & in the LA Times.
Gabe Donnay was the victim’s name.
Young Gabe left his yard door open. The man had climbed a few fences and in this yard, saw an open door.
the senseless violence.[sarc]
I would like to leave my doors open sometimes too. No way. We are locked up like Ft. Knox is to hide the fact there is no gold. The folks across the street interrupted some guy who came in their back door. The woman of the house told him to leave or she was coming down there with her gun. I would have gone down there with the gun and at least taken a shot or two at them. No lesson is learned unless you make them at least pee their pants.
That’s happening around here too, in Glastonbury, a beautiful town east of the river. Cars were being stolen in the early morning, under the cover of darkness. People wised up and began securing their cars (pols blamed the theft on the victims for not locking their cars at night, something we never had to do until the Diversity Cult showed up) So now the MO is Homeys in a stolen car identify isolated houses with a woman and children home alone, and — George Floyd Style — approach the property with the announcement “Gimme de kees”.
A few night ago there was a town meeting over the issue and it was hilarious watching officials dance around who was actually doing the strong arm robberies.
Brh
” (pols blamed the theft on the victims for not locking their cars at night,)”
BRH,
Reminds me of an incident, in the early ;70;s, where the narrative was similar.
Received a call of possible burglary in an upper middle class neighborhood bordering Berkeley in upper West Oakland. Neighbors saw several (of what we then described as NMA…Negro Male Adults) trying doors, etc. on a neighboring property.
We checked the property, and all doors and windows were secure…undamaged and locked. Neighbors said that the occupants were on vacation and further, that the NMA/s spent some time on the property.
Using lock picks, we unlocked the front door and entered the home. In a hall closet we discovered the three NMA’s in hiding…hilarity ensued.
During the arrest, the NMA that I had hands upon became very vocal in the fact tht…”THE OWNERS DISERVED TO BE ROBBED BECAUSE THEY LEFT A WINDOW UNLOCKED”.
We disagreed….
Malthus, I looked up Gabe Donnay, seemed to be an accomplished young man, a musician and scientist.
His murder wasn’t a national story, as is this is the first I heard of it. What a tragedy.
Gabe Donnay
SAY HIS NAME.
Heckler,
I mentioned before we have moved. Our old neighborhood was just hit by tire slashers. The “pool people” (previously discussed) saw the perps & chased them but they got away. However, they got good video of their vehicle. When they took it to the police, they said don’t bother us with that.
Brh-
It’s almost as if there were some sort of…controlled demolition…going on out there…
“Controlled demolition,” you say?
How appropriate.
“We’re doing a good job of destroying the institutions that make civilization possible, especially law and the courts.”
Not to mention our own currency.
Somebody in North America needs to buy up land and start their own nation like Killer Mike did on his Netflix show, They can make JHK the leader of this new model civilization where every able bodied adult is required to perform meaningful work and liberals have to undergo intensive re-education in the virtues of critical thinking and manual labour.
Bill Gates & China are already on the case, Timmy.
And the fools doing the demolition work don’t realize that when everything collapses they too will be under the rubble.
“The extreme political narcissists of the day, intoxicated with messianic fantasies, would like to retail a Great Reset in a desperate effort to prevent modernity from becoming yesterday’s tomorrow.”
Nicolaitanism in your face. Hierarchies of Wickedness will inherit Outer Darkness.
I believe that work does in fact make oneself free, but not in the way that “ARBEIT MACHT FREI” was presented.
Purposeful, meaningful work that pays reasonably well is what is required. Sadly there seems to be little of that these days, as is the case with the current state of medicine. The principle of ‘primum non nocere’ seems to have been cast adrift if it was ever foremost in the minds of many.
Good point Dr Gonzo.
Get yourself a tolerable job that pays well and everything else seems to fall into place. And I’m not talking about “Meaningful Work”, Do Gooder BS, or Saving the World efforts. For example, a few of my young relatives have listened to my advice and decided to forego college; one is a machinist/tool and die maker who gets job offers every week trying to lure him away from his current employer. Another is a Diesel Mechanic, trained in the Coast Guard. He too, gets to pick his employer and can entertain his best opportunity.
Brh
Good point, BRH. I was having a coffee at my local bar the other day and watched a few working class guys fixing a telecoms box in the street. This is the kind of stuff that keeps society going, not non-jobs in indoctrination colleges. Electicians, mechanics, construction teams. And they’re all the lower class guys that the liberals despise.
I never understood why that particular saying got so much attention. The most cynical and appropriate of the concentration camp “Sprüche” was at Buchenwald: “Jedem das Seine”
And TBH, it would fit well with the Great Reset, too.
That is some deep shit, bro. And pretty hard to fathom if A) one doesn’t speak or study German language or B) one doesn’t understand the German mind.
I once had a German girlfriend – Bavarian, from the allgau, heart of deepest Catholic Germany. She related a story her father told about his time in the Wehrmacht during what the Russians call the Great Patriotic War.
The sergeants asked if anyone had experience or skill in playing the piano. Thinking he might get better treatment, he volunteered … and ended up digging and servicing the latrines!
Oh vey, those Germans! What a sense of humor. Or something.
Heh.
So much going on, yet it feels like we are in the doldrums, doesn’t it?
Our adrenals were blasted by the Steal and the months of rioting. Now it seems like nothing is happening, but much is happening.
The deadline is today for Congressional Intel Committees to release their declassified report on UFO’s.
I read where members of the committees had to go in a SCIF room to be de-briefed and most came out white as sheets.
Betcha a report gets released just like the one ordered on the declassified JFK assassination.
Crickets. “It’s too soon.”
If you’re thinking there’s really some scary UFO info, then you’re going to automatically assume that the report has been whitewashed (is that a racist word now?) if it doesn’t say it’s aliens or human advanced technology. It’s highly unlikely that it’s something other than an artifact of our electronics or a visual illusion, although it’s possible, I suppose.
white washed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
black balled
black mood
etc
I think we are just about out of permission to use the word whitewash. Tom Sawyer was due to be cancelled anyway.
I did notice a week or so ago on my favorite (ie only watched) Science Channel show How it’s Made that a part of a manufacturing process involved parts being placed in a specially made frame.
We have lost the use of the word Jig.
Almost all the reports were from Navy pilots. 144 incidents since 2004.
My theory is that all this is is a project to regain some of the massive loss of trust in the U.S. govt by the general public. In other words, it’s a new twist on the classic “limited hangout” scheme. But here, instead of them trying to leak some carefully spun narrative of something real, they’re creating out of CGI gimmickry a confirmation of the UFO meme in order to reinstill trust in our failing government.
abbybwood:
Every employee of every “vested interest” (astronomers, defense experts, academics, aviation poobahs and so on) should be ignored [cancelled] in the discussion of UFOs / UAVs. They have been the cheerleaders in the firestorm of ridicule, false flags, suppression of any serious attempt to deal with this phenomenon, since the late 1940s.
Example:
It is estimated that around 10,000 livestock have been drained dry of all blood, mostly in the far west in an arc that seems to indicate a pattern. Ranchers have raised hell and been told to beat it – there’s nothing happening.

Not just in the USA:

Residents of Phoenix were understandably outraged when the mass sighting of “lights” one evening low over the city were denied, ‘splained away by Air Force mouthpieces and local politicians, who derided them. Authorities backtracked and waffled when confronted by angry citizens they had accused of lying or being deluded.
After 75 years of this official stonewalling it seems as though a corner is being turned. Not “disclosure” by any means – a grudging “acknowledgment” at best.
Yes UFOs are coming and going and violating airspace at will, snatching citizens and experimenting on them.
So what are you going to do about it, flyboys, with your collection of war toys that cost the taxpayer nearly a trillion a year?
They will do what they can do about it, which is jack shit, to be specific.
Well, in 1966 (I was 16), on the evening of the 4th of July, in northern Ohio, I had a very memorable experience with a UFO and I had never considered them prior.
According to hypnosis with Budd Hopkins it certainly appears I had an abduction experience.
Take mine and the thousands of others worldwide in the past 60 years alone.
Let’s talk about those!
Ef U.S. military/intelligence!
Slowly. Then very, very quickly.
abbywood
Budd Hopkins was the real deal.
He worked with Dr. John E. Mack, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard Professor of Psychology, on the issue of abductees. Mack was not unnaturally initially skeptical, but after meeting numerous purported victims of abduction his position became agnostic: he simply could not explain away what was being told to him and the people talking to him were clearly not mentally distressed.
A cabal of his fellow profs at Harvard ganged up on John Mack and tried to get his tenure stripped away and get him fired, simply because he refused to couch his research as a “mental illness”. They failed.
The denial is intense, and very much internalized. Those affected by the issue have everything to lose and nothing to gain by disclosure.
JHK opined, “I suppose all that seems “baseless” if you refuse to look.” concerning some State Judiciary’s lack of work ethic aka white privilege.
“A fool decides a matter before he has heard it.”
A bigger fool follows him.
“just a prelude to a not-far-off global Auschwitz.”
This is very important.
Side note: Norman Finkelstein was canceled ages ago. Well, about 14 years ago.
Denied tenure. Sued. Banned from Israel.
Why?
Because he challenged holocaust Inc.
and, more importantly, Alan Dershowitz.
A child of survivors, he couldn’t overlook the ease of scapegoating and persecution and a new chapter of war, hatred, and animosity.
Long contentious and very political story cut short:
Finkelstein is right about 1 thing: the extreme ease that humans, even the formerly persecuted, can ease into the role of the persecutor.
To some, never again means something universal.
Yet here we go again.
Identified. Branded. Dehumanized.
Good morning Mr. Jim. Thanks for the blog today.
“As “Joe Biden” fades altogether from the scene, the country will have to grapple with the real problems it faces, not hobgoblins of racism, misogyny, white supremacy but how to cope with a dwindling energy supply and a falling standard of living, and how to remain civilized. We’re doing a good job of destroying the institutions that make civilization possible, especially law and the courts.”
Yes, exactly. Above all, the law. There is no point to any of this without it. Law based in property rights, and the sovereignty of the individual.
If we lose this, we’ve lost everything. May as well just rename this geographic blob New Rwanda, or New Yugoslavia. Same damn difference.
This is why power on the local level is so crucial. A big step down in technology– for example, the reappearance of the horse as primary transportation as oil declines– predicates as necessity that law, order & political power be more dependent on locales vs. centralization.
Furthermore, this localized power ought to be based back on what really made America free. We already have all the founding documents, books, letters, and writings from Locke, Jefferson, Payne, etc. We don’t need to reinvent anything.
Jefferson has much to say about Blacks – things modern day liberals and “conservatives (liberals lagging behind) don’t want to hear. He was a White Nationalist – just like the rest of the Founders. So the Left is right, but they say it like it’s a bad thing…..
Tucker knows better. His best writer was a White Nationalist. He is lying.
Tucker seems keenly aware exactly how far he can go on Fox.
He’s probably reluctant to give up the income stream. I would be too, were I in that position.
Well hopefully it more than just that. He is doing great service where he is.
Someone near the end of his life like Pat Buchanan should come out though.
Pete, they have engineered this whole mess. 176,000,000+ Americans plus 2,000,000,000+ non-Americans have been jabbed and now have spike proteins building toxins in their bodies 24×7 until death.
If they were to release the next engineered virus in the Fall/Winter, we will see death on a 3rd Testament Biblical scale.
If you think that you’re gonna live on Walton Mountain, you had Best re-evaluate our current situation.
Considering the source, I do question those numbers.
NBC reports the number of Americans jabbed nightly. They got it at over 176mm for USA (with at least 1 jab).
I Believe that I got the 2B globally from CBC but am not certain. I definitely heard 2B+ globally from some MSM source.
——-
Oh … Now I get it. You were insulting me – saying that I am not a reliable source. Why do you say that? Have you ever seen me posting inaccurate numbers? If not, shame on you for blindly tossing unfounded serious accusations.
Oh dear. You are not the source I doubt. It is the sources you use that I question.
Why so sensitive, OGre? Very snowflakes of you, you…poor sensitive guy.
Fear-mongering par excellence…
Try some actual facts, OTre…

Any effective reform of America, culturally, politically or economically will have to come from the bottom up. The globalist experiment is a failure and the future belongs to those communities that can build a society based on local strengths. A culture of self reliance, mutual aid and mutual respect is what used to be what America was all about.
The “World Made by Hand” future shown by JHK in his book of that name is a best case scenario, worst case is “Mad Max”.
Your conjecture seems quite reasonable. There are some commonalities between the two outcomes. Likely many. One in particular stands out; a greatly reduced population.
Ray’s conjecture proposes A or B while neither match Reality at all.
TPTB have a plan. It may include a period of localized Mad Max scenarios but always contained and only as those survival games help them and their cause in their secure opulance.
Organized, independent local government for Good, hard-working Free people is not an option. That is completely off the table. Globally.
Thoughts that the global economy was a failure displays a lack of understanding of the motives behind the global economy. In actuality, the global economy worked exactly as planned.
Utter tripe. Your tiresome preaching tone is predictably wrong, at every level, even globally.
I don’t think the America we knew and loved can ever be rebuilt. There are already signs that states and communities on a lower level are ignoring or circumventing DC. That’s great and it will continue and gather force. But it will end up as a whole bunch of new sub-units, rather than a new, cleansed version of the traditional “USA”. And maybe it’s for the better. If I was a Yank, I wouldn’t want to be in the same nation ever again with the perverted, demented leftists currently bringing us down.
I agree. The first error to be corrected should be the North / South divide that dates back to the nation’s founding. New England really needs to be its own country. Ditto for the Deep South. Why should anyone care if Dixie goes it’s own way? Texas clearly wants to tear up the now-hated Treaty of Annexation. The Left Coast should be let go. Whatever is left can still be the USA, or can Balkanize further as the states and regions desire.
America as a 50 state union is soooooo 20th Century.
Stick a fork in it. It’s DONE!
I don’t think the America we knew and loved can ever be rebuilt […].
If I was a Yank, I wouldn’t want to be in the same nation ever again with the perverted, demented leftists currently bringing us down.
It has little to do with “Leftists” (perverted, demented, or otherwise indisposed) … have a good hard look at that thing called Global Capitalism – if you really want to see what has caused the hollowing out of the US, and the corporate corruption of governments and bureaucracies everywhere.
Demented lefties haven’t been offshoring good “American” jobs for the past 60 years – check the Fortune 500 for the real perps. Anyway who cares, with everyday low prices in Walmart and on Amazon?
The Clintons, Robert Rubin, George Soros are innocent, are they? You saying the Banking and Wall Street Elite don’t have their interests represented by the Democratic Party?
You keep repeating this same lie over and over.
So let me tell the truth. The Globalists control most of the higher leadership of both parties. Trump led a movement against the Globalists within the Republican party. And we see how you hated that. So don’t pretend to be anti-globalist!
You keep repeating this same lie over and over.
And so do you and others. Claiming that the Democrats are the party of capital, Wall Street, bankers, and international corporations.
Of course they have a finger in the money pie – to win elections costs a fortune. But Republican Party ties with big money would beat the Dems 100 to 1.
I don’t understand the rightwing obsession with George Soros, as if he is especially evil. Dozens – if not hundreds – of Koch Brother types buy and sell politicians every day, but you don’t complain about them.
Trump saw that there was a big class of angry disgruntled whites out there and he exploited them to scrape an election win. But he was no “anti-globalist” – he was the ultimate global player. He used the shtick of “drain the swamp” etc, but he did nothing to rock the big boat.
“But Republican Party ties with big money would beat the Dems 100 to 1.” – Tekapo
It’s impossible to have an intelligent conversation with someone who invents such hyperbolic numbers. In fact, you have no idea what the numbers are. Let me enlighten you.
They were about 4 to 1 in favor of the Democratic Presidential candidate in both 2016 and 2020 Presidential races.
I await your apology and admission of stupidity.
**************************************************
“The securities and investment industry has donated $74.4 million to Biden’s campaign and aligned super PACs compared with $18.1 million to President Trump, according to campaign finance records on OpenSecrets.
The 4.1-to-1 margin is smaller than the 4.23-to-1 margin from 2016, when Wall Street sent $88 million to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and only $20.8 million to Trump.”

@tekapo
You lying sack of manure.
Just who bailed out the banking industry and coined the to big to fail nonsense?
Who talked endlessly about using the credit card in our children and grandchildren’s names and how it was unamerican and then spent more money then all previous presidents combined?
Your hero zero one Barry Soetoro the Kenyan kook.
Guess them shovel ready jobs were not so shovel ready huh?
Green energy investments that kicked back to his reelection campaign before going under after spending a cool billion or so.
Bailed out health insurance industry with a huge bill written by the very industry!
This after complaining about the Republicans doing everything they could to stop his ridiculous agenda.
Democrats are owned by big backs, big tech, big Pharma and do everything they can to kick back their vig.
If there’s a Mad Max scenario to play out, it’ll have to be conducted with solar-powered electric vehicles. Gasoline goes bad within six months and even sooner with ethanol blends.
The easy availability of unspoiled gasoline is also yet another plot hole in the oddly long-running “Walking Dead” TV series and its various spin-offs.
Well, it is called the WALKING Dead, not the Driving Dead.
Just sayin’…….lol…..
Well, yeah, the dead are stumbling around (if they still have two functioning legs), but many of the living are ripping around Georgia in gasoline-powered vehicles most every episode.
I’ve learned the hard way about gasoline, and how fast it goes bad. Even with stabilizer it doesn’t last that long.
Brh
I’ve found it to last at least 1 year, even the EtOH blended. I use ZERO-EtOH with stabilizer in my prepped cans, and I’ve never tested beyond a year, so no data there.
Having a diesel vehicle makes it easier to store fuel, as it last a LOT longer than stored gasoline, from what I understand.
Then you’ve got storage & security issues. You can’t be the only 1 around with supplies. Not for long.
Funny that there’s rarely a mention of the Arizona court action on the evening news. Or Hunter Biden’s racial slurs. Lots about the “delta variant” complete with pictures of ICUs & staff in full isolation gear (implying anyone who gets it ends up there) and happy Moms who are going to get even more money from the federal government — why work?
China will be on the ropes if America ever stops buying her cheap junk so the primary consumers of cheap junk have to be supplied with cash incentives. The biggest Ponzi scheme the world has ever seen is firmly build on America’s working (or, in this case now, non-working) class. Food prices have been steadily rising so the ability to buy nonessential stuff will have to go down.
You would be surprised the number of people who consider Biden competent. To me it’s amazing that anyone can look at him and not realize the man is struggling. From one brief article I read, the meeting between him and Putin was scheduled for 4 hours and broke up early. It was a mistake to give Putin a closeup view of his opponent but he probably already knew he was dealing with the dummy, not the ventriloquist.
Great article today!
I saw a news article from NY, where some local official is worried that people might think that just because the state of emergency is over, so is the pandemic.
These are the kinds of brains who were handed dictatorial powers. The guy has no idea that a pandemic is a thing with a specific meaning, and not just a virus going around.
There is always a virus around.
Such a person isn’t likely to use his own intellect to discern the obvious, that Joe Biden suffers from dementia,
For all the talk about the MSM fading away, they have done a brilliant job of distracting and dividing people. If you tell the average Joe the facts about the China flu, PCR, dodgy “vaccine”, or about the audits going on, they look at you as you’re a martian. Until the power of the MSM is broken, sanity will not come back.
They do. I tried to tell a couple of people about the problem with considering positive tests as “cases”, and I was speaking clear sentences, in English, and they looked at me as if I were claiming I just saw a UFO.
I was out to the local convenience store, moments ago.
The state of emergency ended yesterday, but the poor kids working the registers still had muzzles on, behind plastic barricades.
Sanity is gone. It’s been edging toward the door for decades and now there’s no turning back. IMO it started in earnest during the Clinton years when financial safeguards were thrown in the trash, Hillary’s incompetence to put in place even the most basic health/rx plan went nowhere and despite warnings from people who actually ran businesses, disastrous trade agreements were signed.
And now look at what we’ve got — a stock market & financial base that’s built on sand, medical care that’s corrupt & predatory and a post-NAFTA country of hamburger flippers.
“Pandemic” as a word referring to a health crisis situation was redefined about a dozen years ago when the last health crisis was declared a pandemic, massive #’s of deaths being in the definition, and the massive mortality event fizzled out.
Simple solution: change the definition to cases instead of deaths and use the test which is not a test to juice up phony positive results from the research lab replication process and voila: a pandemic appears.
And consistently ends his sentences with a comma,
People are desperate to believe POTATUS is competent. It’s just part of the brainwashing. If they admit his mind is creamed spinach, their whole world falls apart. The TDS mindset took 5 years to install and launch. Some of my friends all agree that watching their friends who fell into the covid death cult (preceded by TDS) was like seeing a switch go on, after which they could no longer communicate without the person going into conniptions if disagreed with.
So the MSM is the vehicle by which the mind-control is delivered. Of course they aren’t going to broadcast anything but what they want the death cult to believe.
Biden is not mentally fit to be President. This is obvious to any objective casual viewer of his, more so to any one who has ever had an older friend of family member in the early stages of dementia, or alzheimer’s or some other neurological ailment.
He referrred to “Latinics” on Thursday. Some one on Fox said it was a “slur”.
Dude, that’s no slur. That’s what happens when the brain can’t decide between “Latinos” or “Hispanics” so it kind combines the first and second part and blurts “Latinix” or “Latinics”
But we all know that Biden is malleable puppet in any case, mentally fit or not.
Actually, he said, “Latinx”
It is woke, for hispanics (the rest of his comment was leagues more offensive, IMHO). It’s literally in my college’s public statement of support to BIPOC.
It’s like transagenda pronouns. So that’s one thing he DIDN’T fuck up. The liberals actually say ‘Latinx’ instead of Latino. Problem is, no one asked Latinos, and they hate it because it doesn’t make sense in their language (or ours I would argue).
Also, they spell ‘women’ as ‘womxn’ ask me how you pronounce THAT? I hope they make Jo Jo Magoo try.
Welcome to the new Wokeism, ravaging colleges everywhere with idiot-think.
Lots about the “delta variant” complete with pictures of ICUs & staff in full isolation gear (implying anyone who gets it ends up there)
Full isolation gear on our heroes: the double-jabbed front-line workers.
Full isolation gear meaning that they have been double-jabbed for absolutely nothing … at Best.
China will be on the ropes if America ever stops buying her cheap junk so the primary consumers of cheap junk have to be supplied with cash incentives. The biggest Ponzi scheme the world has ever seen is firmly build on America’s working (or, in this case now, non-working) class. Food prices have been steadily rising so the ability to buy nonessential stuff will have to go down.
TPTB understand their own Ponzi scheme. They built it. They prospered from it. They know exactly how they will unravel it.
Hint: Their plan is Good for neither me nor you.
I’m glad to hear somebody knows what the plan is b/c it certainly isn’t me. Maybe it was millions of individual plans with no other goal than just to enrich themselves and nobody really controls much of anything. They all just hop on each other’s bandwagons, clobber anyone who disagrees and pretend to know what they’re doing.
Are the Chinese really that much smarter I have to wonder? Maybe they are but did you know entire cities have been built in China that no one lives in. And daming some of their major rivers may turn out not as great as they thought they would.
Our dear Queen Lizard & the House of Rothschild are firmly in control of evets as they unfold, SW.
I shit you not.
The Chinese are brilliant. When they dam the rivers and horde fresh water from their dying, impoverished neighbours, they will move their people (or some of them) from the new lake bottom into Ready, built, modern cities.
Did you Really think that they are smart enough to end up with all your T-Bills but also dumb enough to build modern cities for absolutely no Good reason?
You’re Better than that, SW. Surely.
I’m not sure who the Queen Lizard is but even I know you can’t get blood from a turnip. T-bills could turn into Confederate cash in no time at all if there’s nothing to back them up.
Even if the plan is for them to move their populace into these new cities, exactly who is going to raise the food to feed them? And they have no energy resources of their own. I remember seeing a picture of a young woman walking down the street in Shang-hi. She was in front of a Gucci store and the smog was so thick you could barely see either her or the store. These are the “smart ones”?
One cannot judge the smartness of another country’s elite by examining the lifestyle of its common man lest you show a complete lack of understanding of their motives.
The Chinese elite care no more for that woman walking through the smog than American elite care about square miles of meth tents in Los Angeles.
While I do not have the logistics of how much depop. China plans and how they will feed their survivors but I Believe that that is far more reasonable than thinking that they built entire modern cities for no reason whatsoever.
——-
Queen Lizard is the Queen lf England. The City of London still runs the World. J.P. Morgan worked for the House of Rothschild.

You are correct, the US$ is bsnkrupt. China owns US debt and are foreclosing.
OGre, you’re so full of imaginative crap, you probably no longer float.
Maybe it was millions of individual plans with no other goal than just to enrich themselves and nobody really controls much of anything. They all just hop on each other’s bandwagons, clobber anyone who disagrees and pretend to know what they’re doing.
That is much much closer to reality than TPTB-OWG-Illuminati conspiracy jive that gets repeated every day like a religious mantra. It’s ridiculous and infantile, but it’s got its hooks into quite a few of the inmates. Stay with your original and rational analysis.
No, Jo.
Our goal is The Truth, not to live by the stupid mantra, “If you Believe in 1 conspiracy theory then you will fall doun the rabbit-hole and Believe in all of them. Therefore people in Power don’t conspire.”
You walk into every situation knowing that it was incompetence and not conspiracy notwithstanding mankind’s history is little more than one conspiracy after another for millennia.
That is correct – you are a closed-minded moron. TruStory
Funny that there’s rarely a mention of the Arizona court action on the evening news.
If you’re referring to the quite bizarre election “exercise” going on in a basketball stadium in Phoenix, and a luxury log cabin in the Montana woods – then yes – I agree that it seems to be taking an awfully long time, and there has been essentially a news blackout.
A couple of the Arizona dailies are covering it pretty regularly.
Anyway, whatever “finding” that the “Cyber Ninjas” come up with eventually are likely to be trumpeted by right-wing media, and scoffed at by the rest. I doubt that it will have significant impact on the Biden Presidency.
The Arizona court action may turn up nothing — I don’t know. Biden’s presidency is safe if for no other reason, I don’t think anyone wants the chaos that would ensue from trying to overturn it. The Supreme Court had a duty to take the accusations seriously and refused. So, like many of our government workers, it appears we’re paying them for very little real work.
My point was the news always has plenty of time to show some saccharine interview with “a hero” who has a) overcome losing a limb b) a six year old who has raised money for a pet shelter c) (during the Trump administration) children in cages that Obama and Biden built but that’s never mentioned.
The Supreme Court had a duty to take the accusations seriously and refused.
I disagree with that assessment. The Supremes fully understood that the election of a president is a political issue, and that their role in it was extremely small. They are co-equal branches.
Besides, the Supreme Court doesn’t hear evidence, and considers points of Constitutional law … all the Trump lawyers failed to get a case through a lower court, and you can’t just jump to the Supreme Court.
In the state-v-state case (Texas v Pennsylvania) essentially every legal expert in the land said it was ludicrous and had no chance. So the Supremes were hardly out of step legally, with their decision to reject it 9-0.
You know the law better than I do I’m sure. I moved right before the election to a home that had been owned by a man who died in a nursing home several months before. Even though his son had repeatedly tried to stop the mail, I got a ballot for him. As I’m still officially listed as a Democrat, I was contacted no less than 5 to 7 times a day (robocalling) to get out and vote (and I know there’s nothing illegal about that).
With the presidential election being so contentious maybe, in the interests of fair play and transparency, the Supreme Court should have been leaders in looking at any and all evidence, hearing the concern of citizens and making it official that Biden won or an investigation into irregularities (if any) was needed.
We all remember Bush vs. Gore.
With the presidential election being so contentious maybe, in the interests of fair play and transparency, the Supreme Court should have been leaders in looking at any and all evidence, hearing the concern of citizens and making it official that Biden won or an investigation into irregularities (if any) was needed.
You’re talking very fairly and sensibly, and at a high level I agree with you.
However, at a fundamental level, it really was incumbent on various Republican officials and election observers to raise all of their disputes on the night, and then in the couple of weeks after.
For some reason, lawyers for Team Trump really mucked it up, and I’m not certain why that happened – basically in every one of the six swing states everything was passed as kosher.
If I were conspiratorially minded, I would suggest that everybody in the country except the MAGA crowd – so everyone from the Court of Petty Sessions in Round Rock County Minnesota right up to the Supreme Court, and including hundreds of Republican election and state officials – ALL wanted Biden to beat Trump.
I can’t believe it’s possible it occurred like that, but it’s fun to entertain the possibility that it’s true. He was a complete pig that no-one sensible liked – and everyone wanted him to come a cropper bigtime – still do I reckon.
Chaos is coming, like it or not. If the stolen election results are not rectified, it will be infinitely worse. Heads should roll for such blatant dishonesty. Literally, roll.
You and OAN, huh, cbeard?
“We’re doing a good job of destroying the institutions that make civilization possible, especially law and the courts”
And how.
Politicization
You cannot even find yourself on a school board in this rotten patch of a civilization in rapid decline without having been “jumped-in” to one of the 2 insidious gangs destroying our society.
Why is the SCOTUS issuing 9-0 and 8-1 decisions?
To show that they are not politicized as the Lunaticrats have suggested when floating “court-packing”.
Also on their totalitarian agenda: federal/centrist voting laws that seek to diminish the “sanctity’ of the cherished vote.
By hook or by crook.
The people who claim presenting ID to vote is rayciss, are the same people who think we should all have jabports.
Especially the law and courts, but it’s pretty devastating what they’ve done to education, esp. higher ed.
You realize (I hope) that if “higher ed” was returned to its original standard, ceasing to be a business in other words, almost no Blacks would qualify?
Yes or No? If yes, do you think the Blacks would accept that – after generations of telling them they were better than we are? Not equal, better?
I have noticed that blacks seem to do just fine when someone seriously requires it of them.
No, I haven’t noticed that at all outside of athletics or the performing arts.
A few, sure. The paradigm includes them. An IQ of 130 for high level work in the professions. The peak Black IQ pretty much peters out in the low 120’s. Don’t use a Black doctor, pilot, etc.
Can’t use black pilots. Can’t use jabbed pilots.
Commercial Airlines are doomed.
Thank you. They do. As do all other humans.
Of course less would qualify, and of course I’m fine with that.
I’ve already explained this.
It’s just logic: Black people are what, 14% of the population? So yeah there would be less black people who got in.
And yes, it’s now a business, not centers of learning as they used to be. I’ll add, most things don’t need a degree, but they scammed the system into requiring them.
Academia is just as grotesquely corrupt as the banking industry, and just as insidiously predatory.
Americans were sold a bill of Goods.
Americans for decades sneered at Swedish or Canadian “socialism” while they allowed Big Bucks to control their Medical Care & Higher Education.
Big Med & Big Ed are important social institutions that need be ran for the Public Good and not for profits for stock growth.
Americans’ blind hatred of “socialism” for decades resulted in their complete fleecing as they paid WAY more for WAY less.
Big Med & Big Ed in the USA took the profit-motive to its pinnacle: rackets against the masses.
Less Black people who get in because there’s fewer of them: You’re skipping the question. Fooling yourself or trying to fool me?
“Yohannon/ Janos”‘s backstory is no doubt interesting.
It does give red-meat content, though; I’ll give it that.
What is not -IA
No, Yo, you just don’t understand my answer. It’s that pesky bias blocking logic.
“I suppose all that seems “baseless” if you refuse to look.”
Refuse to look?!?! These allegations of voter fraud have been looked at ad nauseum, and none has found any credible evidence of voter fraud beyond a handful here and a handful there, most of which were committed by Trump partisans.
Why is Jim so disinclined to look at the non-partisan reviews, including, most recently, the one out of Pennsylvania, which found no fraud? Why was that not even mentioned in this essay about investigations into voter fraud? Why is he inclined to believe this incredibly partisan exercise out of Arizona? I seem to remember when Jim had some semblance of journalistic integrity.
Oh, a review. That clinches it.
There have been many, many such reviews, including in Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, and Pennsylvania. None of these reviews has found any significant fraud. But for some reason, Jim and many here are perfectly willing to believe a highly partisan review out of Arizona. Why is that?
It’s an audit, and it isn’t over yet.
It is most certainly not an audit. It is a highly partisan exercise designed to find the result that is being sought, which is that there was fraud.
Sounds like the Russiagate hoax.
How so?
Are you asking how is the audit a highly partisan exercise? Here’s a nice summary, if you’re really interested.

Them? You have to be kidding.
remember that NONE of these reviews was a forensic audit
YOU ARE AFRAID OF THE TRUTH
If you believe that what is happening in Arizona is a forensic audit, I’ve got a bridge to sell you in, well, in Arizona.
The whole point of that joke is that you would sell something that doesn’t exist in Arizona, you fucking idiot.
LMAO!
Narc Troll
Once again with the nasty ad homs Because you’re a sad, angry, little nan living in a world that doesn’t deserve you, huh.
https://www.aarp.org/politics-society/history/info-2018/london-bridge-arizona.html
London Bridge was moved to Arizona in 1968. Who’s the actual “fucking idiot”? Oh, look – it’s you.
A review is where a political party gathers together a group of people to make a pre-determined assessment of something, without doing any investigation or reviewing any evidence. Their job is to respond to any claims that any evidence (or thousands of sworn affidavits) exists by saying, “I don’t believe that.” It is merely someone, or some group, giving their opinion.
An audit is where evidence is gathered, assessed, and presented to the public–and hopefully adjudicated.
See the difference?
“A review is where a political party gathers together a group of people to make a pre-determined assessment of something.”
So exactly what Cyber Ninjas is doing in Arizona.
I see Agent Po has switched socks.
What EnoughAlready meant to say is: “Nothing to see here! Move along!”
Hmmmmmmmmm………
Why the big concern? What’s the rush to end the audit?
If the election was truly on the up and up the auditors will find nothing to hang their hat on.
Biden zombies like you should welcome the inquiries if you have nothing to hide.
My apologies. The review out this week was from Michigan, not Pennsylvania. My argument stand, however.
No it doesn’t.
Your use of the term “highly partisan” above shows your bias. You’ve already dismissed the AZ audit results. Of course, any court that dismissed a challenge without looking at one page of evidence is not “highly partisan” in your book!?
I use the term “highly partisan” because it is highly partisan. Why was Cyber Ninjas, a firm with zero experience in election audits, selected for this task? Can you explain that to me?
Well, if attempting to objectively check if voter fraud was present and to ensure that democracy triumphs is “partisan”, then I guess it’s partisan. As for you question about CN, I will answer it with another question: why was Dominion chosen to provide the vote counting machines for 2020 when it’s CEO was none to have a pathological hatred of Donald Trump?
I like partisanship. It means each side works like the Devil to keep the other side honest!
How about you answer my question about cyber ninjas first, as I asked first?
Enough – we’ve literally seen video (with audio, and since identified with full names) of vote-counters discussing what they’re doing, “remember, there are ears on us here so watch what you say”, pulling out ballots from underneath the tables after everyone else was sent home early (for the first time in modern history), and then feeding batches of ballots through the same machines multiple times.
I’ve seen the videos. Have you? What is your explanation? Business as usual? Presume the best of the three or four people chosen to stay behind in each of the six major swing counties? Presume the windows were blocked and hundreds of election monitors excluded because of good intentions?
The hundreds of sworn affidavits will make no difference to you, as it’s not on camera (as is now the burden of proof in our mentally-stunted society), but things such as mail-in ballots with no folds (impossible) and ballots with no physical indentation in the paper where the Biden vote is printed are kind of worth looking at. Hence, they are looking at it.
The courts didn’t take the cases because enough judges in the right places are long bought and paid for, not because there was nothing there.
Same reason DAs around the entire country now won’t prosecute crime. They were brought in to conduct business in exactly that way.
Anyone who doesn’t think it worth a look is a jackass.
You nailed it, Mr Mango. I’m so tired of these DNC shills with their talking points (a list of lies) coming here and spewing forth.
The question is whether we in this country still have enough honest people left in positions of power to do justice?
With Hillary Clinton and those of her ilk still walking free, the answer to your question is NO.
Yes, Mr. Mango did nail it.
Honestly, one wonders why these members of the Crypt Keeper’s (Biden) Free Shit Army keep showing up here spouting their Leftist talking points drivel.
Do they honestly believe that we have not already heard this load of bullshit DNC talking points a million times? Especially with all of their multitudinous obliging MSM whores parroting the bullshit narratives (lies) 365/24/7???!
I mean, seriously, give us all a fucking break here. We have heard this boldfaced horseshit more times than we care to count and we are well and thoroughly SICK of it.
You Lefties are convincing/persuading NO ONE. You are just annoying everyone. Please go away.
Cases were brought before them you mean – and then summarily dismissed. No Standing! In other words, they knew what they would find and they didn’t want to be implicated in the Fraud. Or they were for it.
Database Swells to 1,285 Proven Cases of Voter Fraud in AmericaMay
https://www.heritage.org/election-integrity/commentary/database-swells-1285-proven-cases-voter-fraud-america
remember these are convictions
1,285 cases?!?! In an election with 155 million votes cast? Thank you for bolstering my case.
That’s not 1,285 ballots, but cases. One case may included many ballots. Stupid, lying shill.
And we are just getting started.
It gets better, hmuller. Those 1,285 (actually now up to 1,328) are for all elections dating back to 1982! The numbers are beyond miniscule.
Here’s the actual database, for your perusal.
https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud/search?combine=&state=All&year=&case_type=All&fraud_type=All&page=0
Enough,
Yes, you deep state globalist scum have been busy stealing elections for a long time. I’m glad you don’t mind admitting to that.
Whatever the Heritage Foundation presents is their work, only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to your vile crimes against the American People and all humanity.
Quit presenting it as the sum total of all allegations against you. You know that’s not the case. Such deliberate lies earn you the title “liar”.
Notice how I refrain from calling you names, despite the fact that you continue to do so to me.
My point is that actual, real voter fraud is extremely rare. That is a fact. You have no credible evidence to suggest otherwise, as it does not exist. Despite enormous resources being devoted to finding fraud in the 2020 election, nothing has been found. Mike Lindell keeps saying he has evidence, but will show it later (after you pay for his movie, of course).
You can’t even see that you’re being duped.
The only ones duped are those who listen to your lies, liar. And I’m entitled to call you that because you really are one.
Enough,
If you had any integrity at all, you would discuss the Georgia film footage of massive ballot fraud discussed by Mr Mango above. But you ignore that. We’ve all seen it. Do you deny seeing it? You can’t deal with the truth, You just ignore the evidence and keep pounding your shill talking points.
was one of the cases the democrat in San Fran that filled out 9,000 ballots himself?
or the 80 million unsolicited ballots that were mailed out with zero or almost no chain of custody?
Oh, look. It’s Takeapoo using one of his other handles again.
Shut the fuck up, you muppet.
It is called “Free Speech.”
The fact that you don’t like it means it’s working.
Indeed, I am free to tell him to shut the fuck up.
Not only are you free to, NO, but you are also Justified in doing so, imho.
The real beauty in self-moderated blogs [this is the only one I can think of] is that the owner of the blog need not get involved (messy), 1st Amendment rights are preserved (critical), and value is delivered to the owner of the blog by way of insightful, stirring, even witty commentary. This last feature is what keeps me coming back; JHK’s writing is an added bonus.
I recall in the not too distant past a rather airy, genteel, even supraintellectual discussion on a number of different topics … until the clown(s) showed up and stunk up the place. I don’t have time for that shit.
It is clear that the Media Matters agent(s) [? paymaster] are here in poor faith as has been pointed out innumerably by Owl.
My suggestion is: Don’t feed the trolls!
> disinclined to look at the non-partisan reviews <
there is no such thing.
Spot on, JHK.
As shocking and disgusting the NY Attorney Grievance Committee’s (presumably for the First Judicial Department, in Manhattan) suspension of Rudy Giuliani is, I can’t help but wonder what Rudy must know about the unfathomably deep rot throughout American government. Rudy was NYC’s mayor when 9/11 happened. He obviously knows volumes more than what little has been disclosed about that series of huge lies and what can be stated publicly. Perhaps some others who were threatened into silence are starting to talk, no longer willing to try to forget the many souls who were forced to jump 100+ floors onto street-level concrete, and the countless other victims.
JHK’s post also reminded me of the refrain from the The Earth Opera’s powerful “The Great American Eagle Tragedy” (1996):
“And call out the border guards,
The Kingdom is crumbling,
The King is in the counting house,
Laughing and stumbling,…”
*correction: 1969.
If Rudy knows something, then he needs to speak up. Getting sick of the people around Trump saying something “huge” is coming up and then silence. The dems are pure evil, but when they aim to do something, they do it. No endless prevaricating and “Next week, we’re gonna do this!”; just action. We’re still waiting for Sydney Powell’s “Kraken”. I see plenty of Karens, but no Kraken.
> Getting sick of the people around Trump saying something “huge” is coming up and then silence. <
"releasing the Kraken" yeah yeah sure sure
Almost like it's pure theatre, but with so many Willingly Taken In.
curious
Before you anoint Rudy Giuliani with the label of savior I suggest you investigate what he did to Sandy Lewis, MAYBE one of the last good guys on Wall Street (was there ever such a creature?).
Why are you still beating the same old tired “drum-of-nothingness”?
There IS no “big thing” coming so how can you expect anything but the blatant, bald-faced grift of these clowns – from Trump himself, down through the sorry list of sad-assed actors – Guiliani, Powell, Lindell, Jenna Whats-her-face, and that lawyer from Georgia, L Lin Wood, who started out sounding really credible but couldn’t hold his fake-nerves long enough and slid into the slime with the rest of them.
He probably knows it all. I’m surprised he’s still alive.
John McAfee didn’t seem that depressed. I guess you never know.
Spending the rest of his years on earth in the American Gulag didn’t appeal to John McAfee, apparently.
But wouldn’t he have gotten a fair trial first?
LOL!
Like Guiliani?
NYS Bar made a mandatory COVID vaccine recommendation.
Shows you what a special case anything having to do with them is.
Didn’t he say both things: That he would never kill himself AND that he would kill himself before being extradited to America?
He did say he wouldn’t kill himself in jail, I don’t know about the other claim.
He wasn’t wrapped too tightly and said a lot of really strange things, but that doesn’t mean none of them were true.
Everybody dancing around the issue: John McAfee almost certainly did not kill himself; nor did Jeffrey Epstein™. One or more of those persons is likely still alive.
It’s a myth that most suicides are committed by folks with longstanding depression after prolonged deliberation.
Many are committed by people in a sudden state of agitated panic – sometimes with as little as 15 minutes contemplation.
The push is on to scare the bejeebus out of us deplorables. The Delta is coming, the Delta is coming. A bullshit article from AOL sent to me by my school teacher uber-liberal sister.
https://www.aol.com/news/6-warning-signs-delta-variant-090025183.html
Just a small clip from the article. The Delta is gonna kill all the Trump voters. You can’t make this shit up.
The gaps in America’s immunity would be one thing if the unvaccinated were evenly dispersed among the vaccinated. Someone who has refused the jab but lives in a city like San Francisco, where 72 percent of adults have already been inoculated, faces a fairly low risk of contracting the virus through community spread.
The problem, however, is that vaccination rates in the U.S. tend to break down along political lines — and people with different political views tend to live in different places.
According to the most recent Yahoo News/YouGov poll, more than three-quarters of Democrats (76 percent) say they’ve already gotten a shot, while less than half of Republicans (49 percent) say the same. A full 28 percent of Republicans say they will “never” get vaccinated.
Yet again Republicans are proving to be the smarter party.
I’m neither Dem or Repub, but I will not be innoculated.
There are countless people like me. So again, yeah, it’s bullshit.
Delta variant, lol.
A variant of nothing is nothing.
I refused the jab. So did my GF. So did my mother. So did my sister and her family.
We are Legion. LOL….
My issue going forward will be employment and them trying to force me. Not gonna happen and if they try to mandate it I’ll sue.
Play it wiser. Tell them you’re afraid of the jab and prefer/offer to work from home without coming into the office. Don’t turn it into a crusade for truth and justice against the workplace because they couldn’t care less and you would probably end up with expenses. In short, try to do as little as possible and collect.
That’s actually what I am doing, but for other reasons. 🙂
@MaryQ Good. By way of correction, as little as possible viz nullifying the jab. Haha…
At the now utterly gotten-to Naked Cap site, they recently ran a story
with the header “Delta Force”™, regarding the ultra-deadly™ new
Delta variant. Having to invoke military Special Ops™ in one’s title
seems like striving for effect, to me. But they’ve been right all along
about the super-ultra-deadly Covid™, right.. ?
gotten-to / clowns
No, it’s the Delta Variant Plus that is the real danger.
Just you wait until the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle strain arrives!
Are you sure it’s not the Delta Variant SuperDuper Plus?
> Are you sure it’s not the Delta Variant SuperDuper Plus? <
That one's for next week.
They're extreme-trolling us and laughing their a**es off at the same time..
I found it funny how JP Morgan Chase said everyone had to be out of their Miss Kitty pajamas and back to the office in Manhattan by July AND fully vaccinated or else they’d be fired.
Apparently that threat fell on deaf ears. Now they are saying, “Okay. Vaccinated or unvaccinated! But definitely no Miss Kitty pajamas!”
That is such great news. If this type of news was heard more often around the US and World, peoples spine would harden.
…or is it peoples spine would return? LOL. 🙂
Great news!
But is it true?
Link?
Perhaps I spoke too soon.
Stelmos: I do tend towards the “conspiracy theory” side of the China Flu debacle. But one thing I can’t understand is that surely, these oh-so-much-more-intelligent-than-the-plebs behind all this must have known that only the stupid and leftwing (sorry, tautology) among us would take the jab? One could get paranoid easily these days!
They counted on Trump supporters being stupid, and they counted on us blindly following our leader, as in a cult.
We love him, but we hate it when he starts talking about vaccines.
We know our man is a germaphobe with a can-do attitude.
He has come out and said that these shots are not for young people, however.
The CDC head keeps making public statements that contradict her agency’s own data on that topic.
“We love him, but we hate it when he starts talking about vaccines.”
Did he not get your memo yet, BoO? After all the ‘warp speed’ hoopla and wanting it names “the Trump Vaccine”? After finally admitting he’s had ‘the jab’ himself and even saying he thinks everyone should? What’s not to love and admire about this Giant of a Man?
Saint,
Your comments and statistics. if accurate, may have a silver lining, politically speaking. If the Majority of Dems get the prick of misery, and the said prick is deleterious to their health, or even deadly, might it not skewer the demographic towards the Republicans, or those just left standing?
Be still, my heart….
However, if there are no untoward issues in the future for those pricked, then what does it say about the Repubs? This may skew the demographic towards the unwashed Dems.
Hunh….
Hunh…indeed. As I’ve been saying to the likes of MaryQueer et al, you should be rejoicing at the moment, if all your nutjob convictions are true, as the vaccination plan will leave the whole of the USA (and possibly the planet) to the Unvaccinated. Surely, a win-win for you?
Of course, on the other side of the coin, it may also well be that the Vaccinated will watch in dreadful horror as the next variant wipes out those ‘who know better’ because “the Elite/The Illuminati/Soros/WEF/Bill Gates/Mickey Mouse are controlling everything!!!”.
Jim, I love your stuff, but I don’t understand why you always seem to think that the bad guys might be prosecuted.
I saw the other day that there’s another person who thinks Durham might possibly be doing something.
I forget who, but Jim is oficially not the only one.
I see people on YouTube who still think Trump will come riding back into office on the back of a military coup. Bitter as it is, the evil bastards have won the latest round. Injecting hopium into our veins won’t change anything.
Rather than expecting miracles, prepare to fight them in every arena for as long as it takes. We are the people of God and they are the spawn of hell.
Exactly.
Be the change you want to see in this fouled up world, no matter how small the effect might seem.
All the “he has a plan” talk is maddening.
He didn’t have a plan when he wouldn’t get rid of Fauci, and that ended up undoing all the good he’d done up until that point.
There just isn’t any mechanism for restoring the rightful winner, no matter what they find in the adits.
Beryl: Agreed. There was in fact a Plan. Unfortunately it belonged to the forces of evil. And the audit is admirable, but the chances of any judge handling it are zero. And neither will it even be reported by our lovely MSM truthbearers, let alone used as a valid excuse to purge DC by any would-be American Pinochet figure. All conservatives and even most dems know that the election was stolen, but overturning the result is another thing entirely.
Hmuller. The Q crowd are pretty sad. Still trusting The Plan (all rights reserved) and expecting The Return of The Trump. Much as I loved what he did, I think him coming back would actually be a backward step now. Assuming that this mess can be sorted out by ANY conservative Potus (questionable), we need someone far more savvy and ruthless than DJT. If he came back, we’d get a few fireworks, but mostly just another 4 years of fiery tweetstorms and lousy appointments of Deep State slobs like Barr.
I always thought the Trump haters were some kind of drama queens. What did he actually do to them?
Throw them into jail? Seize their property? Limit their control of the MSM propaganda outlets? Purge the Universities of these mentally diseased scum? Loosen their hold of Hollywood? Did he even protect voices for freedom from being kicked off social media? OH HELL NO!!!
Trump was barely a speed bump, never an obstacle, to the globalists agenda. Yet these drama queens squealed and contorted like Linda Blair when the exorcist came calling. (An analogy deliberately chosen)
Yeah, I was talking to my brother the other night, and he started going off about how much worse Trump was than Biden. But he couldn’t say much except that Trump was a disaster and literal hitler.
So funny these liberals.
Trump isn’t coming back. If Joe Biden can’t complete four years, then VP Kamala Harris does. The US Constitution is still in place. Even 50 bad audits in 50 states can’t affect the presidential term.
I expect neither Trump nor Biden will be candidates in 2024.
This is what I don’t understand either. He didn’t act like a politician and he didn’t talk like one. That’s why people loved him (and probably why they hated him too).
I saw him make some pretty powerful speeches and he was always pretty upbeat and positive, a trait that I admire you Americans for, but it has never been explained to me what he did that was so bad. I hear lots of sweeping statements and generalisations but no specifics.
This is what I don’t understand either. He didn’t act like a politician and he didn’t talk like one. That’s why people loved him (and probably why they hated him too).
I thought he acted and talked like the biggest bragging bore down at the country club … the guy to always avoid. And they always carry on like they are god’s gift to business … they never mention that they inherited the company from daddy.
Wow, a real scathing indictment there Tekapo. He was a braggadocio, ergo four years of leftist hatred and hysteria. Thanks for setting the record straight.
Wow, a real scathing indictment there Tekapo. He was a braggadocio, ergo four years of leftist hatred and hysteria. Thanks for setting the record straight.
It wasn’t intended as an indictment (scathing or otherwise) – it was a response to the very specific notion that he “didn’t act like a politician”, and I don’t think he acted or behaved as most Americans want their president to either.
Not exactly regal, but exude some class. Trump was coarse – rough trade from the brawly side of Noo Yawk – so he was tossed after one term.
Slugoon said: “… he was always pretty upbeat and positive.”
Hmm. The first instance was when he launched his joke-campaign, with the doom-and-gloom of Mexican rapists & drug dealers…then we had 18 months of his blathering tripe until the most egregious example of his dark-views-on-everything as encapsulated by his Inaugration Speech, 20 January 2017.
Slugoon, there was rarely anything “upbeat & positive” in all his ramblings. The closest you could get to “upbeat & positive” is when he was telling his biggest porkies.
I would welcome such a coup. Democracy has failed. Time for an American Franco or Pinochet to crack the damned whip and send the Left’s parade of ass-clowns swan diving outta helicopters into the Atlantic and the Pacific!
You’ve earned it.
I would welcome such a coup. Democracy has failed. Time for an American Franco or Pinochet to crack the damned whip
Infants who yearn for the Apocalypse have no idea what it would be like … and would also be first to squeal like stuck pigs when you lost all your precious rights – including Amendments One thru Ten for a start. Nut-fudge.
Who’s “Durham”???
I think he invented the tobacco you spit.
Good one, Beryl. But where would baseball be today if not for chewing tobacco and groin lice? (They must be scratching for some reason.)
> I saw the other day that there’s another person who thinks Durham might possibly be doing something. <
Keep us informed on latest developments, there.
heh.
Well we’ll alway have Clinesmith™, darling..
Shrubrake – can’t argue with you there. It is sickening to just know deep down that nothing will come of prosecution for these clowns.
About Giuliani’s disbarment, correct me if I’m wrong. But I read he wasn’t even allowed a hearing to present his case against the accusations. And did those charges even list one specific proven falsehood? We clearly have a banana republic court system to go with our banana republic money printing.
Yes, we have gone the way of a banana republic.
Now that we have acheived Banana Republichood can we please bring back Bob Dole and substitute his aged butt for Biden’s in the White House?
That way it’ll be a properly corporately branded Dole Banana Republic!
Plus old Bob probably still has more mental agility than The Crypt Keeper does.
“I’m Bob Dole!”
Best branding EVAR.
Bob Dole turns 98 on July 22.
He was not disbarred. His license was suspended. He could have it back by tomorrow.
The Bar Association seems pretty wokie now, so it’s probably only a matter of time.
It wasn’t a court that started this – courts never start anything. It was:
“An attorney disciplinary committee had asked the court to suspend Mr. Giuliani’s license on the grounds that he’d violated professional conduct rules as he promoted theories that the election was stolen through fraud.
The court agreed and said suspension should be immediate, even though disciplinary proceedings aren’t yet complete because there was an “immediate threat” to the public.”
Once completed, the disbarment will be inevitable.
I read it won’t be until August when Arizona will release their election fraud findings. Why? Why not now?
They need time to move the Nationnal Guard units into place for the backlash, perhaps?
I read the Arizona Senate is adjourning until the Spring of 2022. They can’t have very much on their plate. Do they get paid?
Florida’s senate is also only in session 60 days per year…it’s the case in many states.
Realistically, for the states, all the laws they probably need have been implemented over the last century or so. They need an annual budget and other spending bills.
So other than Republicans suppressing Democrat voters, what else is there to do?
And by suppressing you mean dead people voting Democrat or people voting as many times as they can.
Your idea of voter suppression in reality is to stop Democrat operatives from cheating.
Florida’s senate is also only in session 60 days per year…it’s the case in many states.
My point was that they don’t seem to want or need a session to consider the “findings” of the election exercise. Perhaps it’s not necessary.
Why not now? There’s a lot of work in ‘creating’ a credible-sounding load of bullshit.
Mr. Kunstler,
Your writing is always worth reading. A few of my favorites from today’s article:
* ominous casket
* messianic fantasies
* “You will own nothing and you will be happy” is about as reassuring as “work will make you free.”
* We’re doing a good job of destroying the institutions that make civilization possible, especially law and the courts.
Looking forward to Monday’s post.
Cheers!
> “You will own nothing and you will be happy” <
That is not in fact what was/is said on the WEF site:
the quote is ".. and have never been happier".
Quite a different (slippery) meaning.
“They picked the very embodiment of collapse to usher in collapse, and that is why “Joe Biden” appears to be nothing more than an usher, somebody whose only duty, say, at a funeral, is to show the more important attendees to their places before the ominous casket.”
I love this sentence. Thanks for the excellent article today, James.
Agree that Jo Jo Magoo can’t even take care of himself. The creepy whispering at press conferences has exposed that. His ‘fans’* still defend him as the most confident, bestest president the US has ever had. This is a sure sign that the blinders are firmly in place. Until most of these people wake up (it will be painful, being as they haven’t gotten to do it gradually over the course of 20 years as some of us have), the slog downward will continue apace. I do see that we are well into it, I wonder when we will hit bottom?
*Desperately TDS-addled people who have been hypnotized and programmed into existing in an alternative reality, resplendent with unicorns & fairy dust, where all one needs to do to feel ‘whole’ is identify as a letter of the alphabet, live in a stinking effluvia-riddled mask, or get a poison jab.
Most people will never wake up. Even if the jab turns out to be the dangerous killer many predict, or inflation makes wheelbarrows the most popular form of transport. They will just moan and blame Trump/Racism/Misgendering of pronouns by nasty conservatives. As the German lawyer behind the class actions against government leaders has said, 80% of the population is lost permanently. They are beyond reason, logic and hope. The only chance for humanity lies with the remaining 20%. Our job is to be part of that minority.

Every nutjob thinks the vast majority are sheeple, that there is a smart minority with deep inside knowledge, and they are in that group. Always the same – plenty on here as well.
Mainstream Media Matters Muppet changes socks again.
The Peter Principle – where 20 percent get 80 percent of the results.
In building a house or making a film – 80% of the effort goes into the last 20% of the project.
That’s rich. Like you Tekapo haven’t been a pseudo-intellectual elitist prancing around here, touting your big “rational mind” in contrast to our inferior minds. Impress many people on the street, do you?
Good point.
Yep – will always back the rational and evidence-based over the conspiratorial and wild rumor-mongering. But that has very little to do with the 80-20 argument.
Anyway – I don’t think 80% of the population is stupid or hopelessly misled – so I am quite the anti-elitist. People do all sorts of things for all sorts of reasons.
Some inmates on here can’t believe anyone could be so insane to vote Democrat, and virtually claim it is treason. These are the elitists.
I don’t think 80% of the population is stupid or hopelessly misled – so I am quite the anti-elitist.

God, I hate uctuous, Corporate-class Democ**ts.
Sacre bleu. I meant the Pareto Principle.
I agree, Hereward.
It is very tough being in the 20%.
And I agree the others are lost. I DO see a lot of people who are not really buying into it all completely though, and might be swayed. But they are probably not a big percentage.
“It is very tough being in the 20%.”
Are you referring to the 20% of nutjobs who create 80% of the tinfoilery on this board?
Have you seen the relatives of people who are hospitalized after the 1st jab proclaiming, “who knew [name] had Covid19! Thank God for the vaccine, or he/she would be dead!”
They are incapable of seeing reality.
Tucker was on fire last night against CRT which the military has embraced completely – just don’t call them woke. General Mark Milley objects to that: We’re a university. I read Mao and Marx, but that doesn’t make me a Communist. I want to understand White Rage.
Tucker: So why don’t you read White Nationalists, then? Because you’d be fired if you did.
Tucker then actually called him a stupid pig. He’s not respected by his peers for either courage or intelligence, his only real talent is being obsequious.
The Elite have given away our Nation. Why wouldn’t we be mad?
There is only 1 way to make it in the swamp:
Do as you’re told.
No if’s, and’s, or but’s.
And good company men get rewarded handsomely.
SES’s. Retirement gig sinecures.
The elite know that, if paid well enough, the ostensible “patriots” “conservatives” and “distinguished civil servants” will do anything.
They know the system attracts those willing to do anything.
We definitely need a methodology to identify and sequester high-functioning sociopaths and psychopaths at least from all parts of government, if not from society in general.
Unfortunately, these same miscreants would very likely devise and administer the identifying methodology.
Thing is, they’re not even high functioning.
They’re good enough.
But a “good enough” who knows to thank his lucky stars.
A “good enough” who knows he is bang average.
Because in the private sector, he/she would not be earning a fraction of their current pay.
Hold a fraction of their current responsibility.
Don’t get me wrong. Plenty of them have delusions of grandeur.
“I must be special”
“I must be smart”
They keep promoting me.
They gave me a virtual Harvard/Georgetown MA in Public Admin.
Kennedy school. That’s the dummy school for seculars. The divine non-divinity branch.
Yes, the bar for high-functioning sociopath seems to lower every year.
And when the bar for high-functioning psychopath falls far enough, the “elite” crawl out from under their rocks and attempt yet another global takeover.
Well I’m glad I saw it. It helps put my mind to rest. There’s no way these guys were ever going to back Trump – even assuming Trump had had the stones to try. Obama didn’t begin the wokening of the military – he just finished it up in a systematic way.
AND they recruit from the depraved pool, so they can be controlled by blackmail if they step out of line.
Excellent article on it by Glenn Greenwald:

General Milley
So many medals I thought he might have been an Admiral in Idi Amin’s Navy.
Big war hero and commanding general coming across like Bedpan Biden’s lapdog.
Brh
We’ll call him General Milley-Vanilli Maybe someone else is actually speaking while his lips move. (Too esoteric a joke?) https://people.com/music/milli-vanilli-lip-sync-scandal-anniversary/.
Good one!
He was Trump’s lap-dog previously.
The technocratic narcissists have only just begun.
As the host has been saying for quite some time, humanity is perched atop a deflating fossil fuel bubble.
An energy bubble.
“They” know this.
They being the people with power and influence.
But more importantly, they know that this same energy bubble is responsible or the exponential inflation of the human population.
Remember, “climate change” is merely a euphemism.
Man-made climate change hits a little closer.
But “ecological failure brought by too many damn humans”, although totally correct, is totally dead-in-the-water.
So let’s just keep it “climate change”.
So
We must reduce fossil-fuel energy consumption.
But we cannot expect renewables like solar, wind, hydro to replace our needs! It’s impossible.
Something has to give.
And this is the piece you missed.
They did not.
A non fossil fuel based plant cannot support all of humanity.
Indeed.
“A non fossil fuel based planet”
Vehicles are going 100% electric.
Volvo lists internal combustion engines off the main page as: “other cars”.
This does not shift the energy needs, it shifts control.
It introduces prohibitive costs.
It introduces cultural adaptations.
Away from a personally owned vehicle.
Away from a trip down the collector road the arterial’s smorgasbord of big box retailers and grease pits.
The meat industry, and its attendant energy drains are next on the chopping block. No pun.
-fertilizer
-grazing lands
-feed
Don’t forget the methane and the deforestation.
What if we simply engineered food allergies?
Specifically meat allergies?
What if
engineered solutions
technical ones
I got a kick out of California asking folks to charge their EVs in off-peak times because of the stress on the grid. I hope all the libtards got up at 2 in the morning to follow nutty Newsom’s instructions. How is that going to work out long-term?
A: Depopulation.
Uh, timers? Spreading the load doesn’t seem to be rocket science.
20% cheaper juice in the wee hours. Hell, lots of solutions present themselves
I spent a couple of weeks in Yenchang, a second-tier city in Jiangsu Province. Swarms of electric two- and three-wheelers, sweet clean air. Dead quiet as well.
Most of the scooters did seem to be powered by big clunky lead-acid batteries. When I asked about recycling I was told there was a plant outside the city.
I see where they are now blaming the collapse of the Miami apartment building on “climate change”.
Engineers claim the building has been sinking since the 1990’s at a rate of 2 mm/year.
Of course, building a high rise on wetlands doesn’t seem to be the brightest (or safest) thing to do:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/collapsed-miami-condo-had-been-sinking-into-earth-as-early-as-the-1990s-researchers-say/ar-AALoUP0
You mean sand shifts?
It looked to me like the pillars could have been the problem.
Everything that goes wrong is now the fault of:
1) Racism
2) Climate Change
3) Trump
And therefore there is no such thing as race or it doesn’t matter? That doesn’t follow.
Surveillance camera footage sure looked like controlled demolition. Rich Paraguayans inside too?
(Conspiracy engine fires up, belches smoke, shudders.)
Every time I see some clown use “Fossil fuels” to refer to petrochemicals I want to ask them how the evil oil companies got all the methane seas to Titan, why didn’t the rest of us know about them shipping dinosaurs into space?
Or is it all bottled cow farts?
Thanks for the laugh, it’s been a trying week.
The Stranger by Rudyard Kipling
The Stranger within my gate,
He may be true or kind,
But he does not talk my talk–
I cannot feel his mind.
I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,
But not the soul behind.
The men of my own stock,
They may do ill or well,
But they tell the lies I am wanted to,
They are used to the lies I tell;
And we do not need interpreters
When we go to buy or sell.
The Stranger within my gates,
He may be evil or good,
But I cannot tell what powers control–
What reasons sway his mood;
Nor when the Gods of his far-off land
Shall repossess his blood.
The men of my own stock,
Bitter bad they may be,
But, at least, they hear the things I hear,
And see the things I see;
And whatever I think of them and their likes
They think of the likes of me.
This was my father’s belief
And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf–
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children’s teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.
For MarV. May it serve. Praxis, not techne. Not a mere ladder, but a Ladder of Being like Jacob’s ladder. Good poetry can be that.
Warm night time smells in the air

And when you go back, It’s nothing but dark hard faces staring at you. There’s no going home again. Millions of Whites have experienced this very thing. Sympathy for them in popular culture? Zero. From you? Zero.
I’m not fond of academia-speak, FWIW.
How many people at the top have been caught breaking their own rules? Just about all of them, because they are the ones conducting the hoax, and are not concerned about catching any make-believe killer virus:
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/15388014/matt-hancock-secret-affair-with-aide/
Mary. What’s scary is that The Sun is the biggest selling paper in the UK. Yet, millions read this kind of story (and there have been many) and STILL believe and follow the rules.
Yep. I saw a bunch of sheeple defending it on Twatter.
They can’t learn.
You’re right: 80% are unreachable, and their brains are gone.
GOing to be worse even still if what some doctors and scientists predict happens, the prions in the brain thing.
Total zombie apocalypse!
They have been signalling and pre-conditioning us for the Zombie Apocalypse for a long time.
From countless Hollywood productions to Bath Salts.
Heckler likes to laugh at me about the Zombie Apocalypse while mentioning vax & 5G in the same sentence is crazy.
We shall see.
OG, I never talk about 5G, or the Vax.
Sorry if I was confusing there, Heckler.
I was talking depopulation with you and then I launched into vax & 5G to the general CFN population.
I’m CDO (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder … but with the letters in alphabetical order as they should be).
Yeah OG
I take your post seriously, never did laugh at anything you posted.
My bad, Heckler. I thought that you were kinda goofing on me vis-a-vis zombies eating the unjabbed’s brains when I joined CFN 2-3 months ago.
It would be understandable. Zombies for Reals sounds like a Hollywood script, not Real life.
——-
I Believe that the vaxxes & 5G are related. They were rolled out together and they will be used against us in tandem, imho.

Even you can appreciate a good token when needed.
Even in spite of all your race braying.
An IQ of 130 for high level work in the professions.
/ what percent of Whites have such an IQ? I do not have it.
The peak Black IQ pretty much peters out in the low 120’s.
/ what is peak, top most? does even 1 in 20 American Blacks have 120 IQ? If so, where are all the patent holding Black Americans?

Your pointing your finger at poor black people, the historically disenfranchised and powerless, as your white brothers have one hand in your pocket and the other over your mouth.
Thank you, Avatar.
The issue is the Great Reset and the technofeudalism being ushered in. The rest are tactics to keep us from communicating and fighting back.
The issue is the elites vs. 7.6 billion as OG says.
It is not whether whites are smarter than blacks.
Black pilots have been flying planes since the 40’s. We still fly them except now we hope the auto-pilot doesn’t takeover and enter a steep dive….. Boom!
Thank you, Mary.
Yes, Barry & Michael are in while this white guy is out.
Since the world was shown (by CNN) the characters, mostly white, who were participating in the Capitol ‘disturbance’, I think the World witnessed a new common ground and convergence between Blacks and Whites in America as far as the IQ question is concerned.
MarV: If they say it’s about race, it becomes about race as well. It’s doesn’t take two to start a fight (despite what female teachers tell little boys), but only one.
You’re not interested in Race? Well it’s interested in you.
Avatar: Your dark tribal roots are showing. How many nations have you destroyed with this crap?

IQ. Are physicists the highest IQ profession?
followed by mathematicians?
I would guess psychologists, because it was largely that profession that invented the tests.
They aren’t about to rate themselves as dumb.
is that why jews have such high IQs?
did they create and grade the tests?
I’d say central bankers are the smartest, as they’ve managed to get physicists and mathematicians to expend their lives working for the small rectangular pieces of paper created by the central bankers.
Those on a lifetime government dole would be next in intelligence, as they receive their central banker credits with an absolute minimum of exertion and are thus free to pursue philosophy, the arts, and spiritual attainment.
IQ is (apparently) highly overrated.
Truer words have never been said.
Thank you for reminding us.
you only have 1 metric: $ remuneration
It’s their metric, not mine. And they have convinced the world of their production, supply, and measure of that metric.
Then I’d say, and you are now saying, the smartest are not playing their game.
They seek knowledge, truth, etc. over $
I’m saying the smartest own the game and at the same time support a generally indolent underclass that can’t or won’t play the game, squeezing the life and sanity out of the middle that actually supplies the goods and services upon which all depend in order to survive.
The best strategy for the middle is to recognize the game and their role in it and then tactically decide when having enough is enough, and if possible, leave in reserve at least some meaningful portion of one’s life for higher pursuits and other, non-pecuniary interests.
‘Your pointing your finger at poor black people,’
It is You are pointing, etc.
Thanks Q.
All these years I thought it was possessive.
It’s only possessive in this case:
“Your pointing your finger at poor black people is embarrassing.”
Sarcasm
Your pointing of fingers
“Your pointing your finger” is perfectively okay, using pointing as a gerund (noun form of the verb).
AV–why are you people so hung up on “race”?
/ You are hung up, you ninny.
You are [fixed yr error] pointing your finger at poor black people, the historically disenfranchised and powerless, as your small hat [fixed that] brothers have one hand in your pocket and the other over your mouth.
/silence is golden, to those who force hate speech laws on YT [whitey].
poor black people, / you mean the same group that has killed 300,000 of their own, in USA, in last 30-40 years. Also they have committed a BILLION crimes against YT.
More telling.
You’re threatened by them.
The cognitive dissonance needed to brush aside your insecurity is a cause to wonder.
Good point.
and morality under rated. if smart means rich, the bankers have the most money smarts.
and morality under rated. if smart means rich, the bankers have the most money smarts.
I expect 95% of bankers inherited their positions and wealth. They were only smart enough to choose the right parents.
You are Wrong, Jo.
While many successful bankers were raised with mucho opportunity, the banking business is dog-eat-dog.
Successful bankers are brilliant (that’s where all the top IQ has gone since Gordon Geko declaring, “Greed is Good.”) that have generally excelled in all facets of life.
There are no free rides in banking. You will work even if you are a Rothschild.
No. Spies, especially assassins, are far superior.

Who is the greatest, Gretzky or Orr?
Gretzky. He was so superior in the 1980s with the Edmonton Oilers and the Los Angeles Kings that hockey fantasy drafts in that era split him into 2 separate players:
Gretzky-Goals & Gretzky-Assists
Orr was a Better skater. Lots of players were. Gretzky saw the game with a superior brain. The game is so fast … but his mind was faster. Consistent brilliance night after night, year after year. The pinnacle of hockey.
imho, of course.
Note: We never did see the Real Bobby Orr. He went under the knife for the 1st of many, many times while he was still playing Junior Hockey for the Oshawa Generals.
They had no clue how to properly operate on knees in the 1960s & 1970s. Butchery. Orr was as amazing as he was on knees that “looked like a bags of marbles.”

Interesting Stanley Cup history:
The 1919 Stanley Cup Finals was the ice hockey play-off series to determine the 1919 Stanley Cup champions. No champion was declared; the series was cancelled due to an outbreak of Spanish flu after five games had been played. It was the only time in the history of the Stanley Cup that it was not awarded due to a no-decision after playoffs were held.[1][2] The series was a rematch of the 1917 Stanley Cup Finals and the first since the armistice to end World War I.
Hosting the series in Seattle was the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA) champion Seattle Metropolitans playing off against the National Hockey League (NHL) champion Montreal Canadiens. Both teams had won two games, lost two, and tied one before health officials were forced to cancel the deciding game of the series.[2] Most of the Canadiens players and their manager George Kennedy fell ill with the flu and were hospitalized, leaving only three healthy players.[1] The flu would claim the life of Canadiens defenceman Joe Hall four days later.[4] Kennedy was permanently weakened by his illness, and it led to his death a few years later.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1919_Stanley_Cup_Finals
Tampa Bay leads 1-0 after 2 periods of play.
Some preppers are ready to die for their stash of canned goods.
Here’s the news: Homo sapiens sapiens die. Every. Single. One. Of. Them.
That’s why there’s no need to worry ’bout a thing.
(Except for extremely painful and degrading last moments, I reckon. Thus, it would be of the utmost relevance to have a friend, a real friend, able to swiftly put an end to one’s misery; strengthen yourself to do the same for a friend is also a must.)
I humbly disagree, AK.
We are taught to put our destiny into the Hands of our Lord Almighty.
It is our mandate to not go gently into that Good Night. It is our mandate to breathe our last breath according to His will, not ours.
There can be no purer purpose for a mere mortal than to be persecuted and martyred in His Name and/or the Name of His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
imho
“We are taught to put our destiny into the Hands of our Lord Almighty.”
Dear Sir (Madam?),
This is correct, when one is a Christian.
However, and for reasons beyond the mere human rational abilities, God provided us with the ultimate entheogen – i.e., consciousness – which allows us to serve Him through a multitude of paths which are all in accordance to His will, albeit looking putatively antagonistic for us.
How can a mortal go against God’s will? (Yes, in His wisdom, God allowed me to doubt the – sacrosanct to some amongst us humans- concept of “free will”.)
God manifests His will through countless prisms. I’m just one of those.
Kind regards.
Wouldn’t it be sweet if the various religious types on here had a little respect for those who are not, and wound back all the preaching mantras? It’s extremely inappropriate in public discourse.
Personally I think religious types have given up the opportunity to be a sentient human being, but I I don’t ram my views down anyone else’s throat every second post.
The only inappropriate thing in public discourse should be rudeness (except when it arises as an allergic response to hypocrisy.)
Free Speech transcends your determinations of appropriateness, Josie.
The fact that my posts bother you means that they are working.
In a perfect World, you will be saved. That’s what God wants for you. We all know that.
Nice, AK. You, of course, are correct.
Unfortunately, Tekapo & I have each indeed descended to that level.
He calls me “Nut-Fudge” and worse while I point out that he argues like a 9 year-old girl.
We are all religious.
“…I don’t ram my views down anyone else’s throat every second post.”
You never miss a post. We all post about what we believe [ preach ] every time we tap a key. Deny it.
This is beyond hilarious, seriously.
We are all religious.
Well, anyone cam misconstrue a word or phrase so badly that you strip it of all useful meaning.
As an atheist I don’t preach about it, but the happy-clappers do it all the time. Their voodoo religious beliefs are of no interest to anyone else – it’s not Sunday school.
So yes – I deny it.
PS It’s actually deeply offensive to say “God Bless You” or anything similar when you know the other person is not a god-botherer.
I’m not religious and it doesn’t bother me at all.
Sounds like you’re a control freak who wants people to ‘behave’ as you’d like them to.
You’d do much better hanging out with other knee-jerk, triggered libs who walk on eggshells around each other.
Tekapo said, “It’s actually deeply offensive to say “God Bless You” or anything similar when you know the other person is not a god-botherer.”
“Well, anyone can misconstrue a word or phrase so badly that you strip it of all useful meaning.”
Well, it would be nice to be able to establish the meanings of our symbols so as to make our guesswork [ reading ] successful, assuming of course, success in communication is our goal.
For example: you are misconstruing “god” in my opinion [ my understanding/use ] with something that doesn’t exist – which causes a default position in your mind of ‘this is not an important use of resources’ ie. there is nothing to discuss.
A g-o-d is one who makes rules for others. We all follow rules, even when we convince ourselves they are our own. Some are legitimate, some are not.
Atheists claim they are devoid of faith, but they kid themselves. They believe in humanism, science not as method but an unassailable body of truth, and progress.
Exhibit A: the unquestioning scientism of the 18 months.
Resource limits will eventually bring an end to the technological progress we have come to expect. That might not be such a bad thing. Personally, I’d rather not go all the way back to our host’s WMBH, but I did find Greer’s “Retrotopia” where technology and energy are rolled back to the level of 1950 appealing.
Humanism may be fine for a general set of ethics, but fails to discourage the hubris of humans who think they know better then the natural forces that brought the universe into being. I have just finished reading Margaret Atwood’s “MaddAddams” trilogy which depicts what can happen when humans who think they are sooo much smarter than nature try to creat their vision of a perfect world.
Having said all that, I’m an agnostic who views most everything with a skeptical eye.
And again tekapoo lies.
As if he is not attempting to ram his opinion and often incorrect comments down anyone’s throat that will entertain the fool.
How can a mortal go against God’s will?
What? Are you new here?
Breaking the 10 Commandments, for starters.
We face Good v Evil choices daily. Men go against God’s will constantly. Satan runs this realm at this time. We all know that.
God manifests His will through countless prisms. I’m just one of those.
Exactly. So smarten up! Don’t be instructing souls to escape their God-given mandate.
AK, May God bless you with Strength & Wisdon for what we now face.
I will keep doing what God allows me to do until He sees fit, then I will die – God only knows what will happen then.
Thank you for your blessings.
Satan is also just another prism (or an easy alibi Christians use to justify their own shortcomings.)
Can Satan defeat his own Creator?
Thought so – why worry, then?
AK,
1) Faith is not “worry.” Faith is assurance. Faith is a goal to aspire, to strive for and, Hopefully, to attain.
2) Satan will indeed garner the vast majority of the souls for eternal damnation (alom time). It is our mandate to please the Lord while Satan tries to claim us too.
When it comes to Heaven or Hell, it is critical that one knows his/her place.

” It is our mandate to breathe our last breath according to His will, not ours.”
OG,
Well, what must HE have been thinking when he caused for me to possess a Model 28 Smith & Wesson?
God allows you determine your own fate, EF.
Our Father understands that souls choosing Good means absolutely nothing unless they can also freely choose Evil and then choose Good.
To make things yet more challenging, as men become more wicked, it becomes increasingly more difficult to choose Good.
He is such a wonderful Teacher!
OG said, “God allows you determine your own fate,..”
I think [ do I need to preface it overtly ] it is more like:
God allows us to believe we determine our own fate. This accomplishes the same thing.
[ believe = live-by = to live as if a certain thing is true ]
I don’t understand, MD, but perhaps that’s Good.
I sure do feel that I have Free Will. So does EF with his Model 28 S&W.
Do you mean that God already knows what we will decide with our Free Will before we decide it?
If so, I Believe that both of those are True even though our little Human brains cannot comprehend how that can possibly be.
He is not restricted by time.
He can dwell in the present nano-second for eternity.
If you could do this, you could [ eventually ] answer any question, or solve any problem, and anticipate any action.
Cause, effect, cause, effect, cause….
The notion of “eternal damnation” as propagated by invented “Christian” religions is the greatest calumny against God and His manifestation in the flesh ever devised by man/Satan.
His Name is Jesus Christ. “Hear O’ Israel, the Lord your God, the Lord is One.”
I’m ready to die for my stash of wine and top of the line spaghetti sauce. LOL.

Mary,
I hope that Chianti is well represented in your “stash”,
Thanks for the reminder, it’s been awhile since I’ve gotten a Chianti. That used to be reserved for whenever I went out to eat at an Italian restaurant. So great, both in LA and Chicago, I had neighborhood Italian restaurants that kept it flowing for very cheap.
I tend to like whites, but I also like Malbec, Merlot, Syrrah and Rose. (which is really a white).
My fav is Chardonnay but don’t tell Take-a-Poo. I tend to like the smoky/oaky ones tho, not ‘crisp’.
Mary,
For a number of years I was an assistant to a CEO of a publicly traded company (essentially a dog-robber). Many trips in country, many fine restaurants (and cost was not a metric considered).
I can flatly say that the best meals I ever experienced were over a bottle, or bottles, of Chianti.
“As “Joe Biden” fades altogether from the scene, the country will have to grapple with the real problems it faces, not hobgoblins of racism, misogyny, white supremacy but how to cope with a dwindling energy supply and a falling standard of living, and how to remain civilized. We’re doing a good job of destroying the institutions that make civilization possible, especially law and the courts.”
Well put. The heart of the matter in one passage.
JB may or will fade but TPTB will not fade, unless killed.
@malthuss
I’ve been thinking lately that the way to take them out is the same as with any communist state: decapitation. The ruling class is a VERY SMALL minority who have an outsized influence. All that the common people need to do is gain an awareness of their numerical superiority and then the game is over. A co-ordinated strike which takes place ALL AT ONCE, just like 9/11, where let’s say 200,000 men swarm across the country and seek out, kidnap and put down EVERY single far-leftist they can get their hands on – leftist judges, professors, lawyers, politicians, business leaders. One such co-ordinated strike and the ENTIRE movement collapses. Why? Because the ideology they espouse is grossly unnatural and can ONLY be held by a fanatical few who take it upon themselves to impose it upon others. Take out these fanatical few and the entire country will be exorcised; it will break free from this mass psychosis.
From Solzhenitsyn’s “Gulag Archipelago”:
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
? Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
I agree that is the only way it could happen.
All those thousands of WEF puppets they painstakingly put in place, taken out at once, would go a long way in thwarting their objectives.
Sadly, this is the human condition. Obey, submit, keep your head down, parrot “their” propaganda. Hope you are allowed to live another day, while they drag away your neighbor.
The wolves who rule despise the sheep. An evil spirit lives in them. And sometimes I get emotionally enraged at those in this forum who carry water for the wolves.
There is a war going on right now between good and evil. And it becomes increasingly clear who is on which side.
Spot on.

“As ‘Joe Biden’ fades altogether from the scene, the country will have to grapple with the real problems it faces, not hobgoblins of racism, misogyny, white supremacy but how to cope with a dwindling energy supply and a falling standard of living, and how to remain civilized.”
Ages ago, primitive humans emerged from their dark caves to
engage with that Great Big World Out There.
Today, modern humankind has decided to retreat back into the safety and ignorance and emptiness and defeat of those dark caves and to wonder why they ever thought about leaving them in the first place.
Cave men and women are in our past. And, in our future. Who’s taking loin cloth measurements these days? And, what’s this thing called ‘Fire’ for, again? And that round thing?
This is why CRT and other lib brainwashing is harmful.
CRT isn’t harmful – it is a challenge to white hegemony over history, and the maintenance of systemic racism and economic advantage. So it’s a threat to white privilege … which is why they send in the rich white kid Tucker Carlson to bash it night after night after night.
CRT is bullshit. It teaches that white people are all racist by birth, and asks us to atone for shit we never did.
Absolute garbage.
It is creating wedges in the communities, where none were before.
Well said Mary. All this CRT and BLM nonsense is achieving one thing and one thing only: further division. The more they go on about it the worse it will get. It will do absolutely nothing to change a genuine racist’s mind and only serve to make tolerant people intolerant because they are sick to death of the constant hustle.
Astonishing that you have open anti-white racism now in the USA. Is that part of The Cabbage’s idea of ‘unity’?
The supporters of CRT espouse the exact same policies and ideas as ZanuPf did in Rhodesia who eventually took over and ran it into the ground. Today it has a lower GDP per capita than it did in 1972. That’s where the USA is heading.
The diff is the white population in Rhodesia was relatively pretty small. And white ranchers who chose to stay after Rhodesia became Zimbabwe lived to regret it.
The are still 200 million of us in the US.
It began before Cabbage got into office. I’ve been watching it sizing up in my college for 3 years.
And it’s just another thing they make us have to battle while our attention should be elsewhere.
Unfortunately, the likely snapback for all this ungrounded race hustling has the potential to be breathtaking.
> All this CRT and BLM nonsense is achieving one thing and one thing only: further division. <
Hear, hear! If it divides, it's from the careful courtesy of the Very Few.
"Woke" = -IA
CRT= -IA
"Antifa"= -IA
and so on..
The bloodbath of WWII created a climate ripe for soul-searching, particularly in the smoking ruin that was Europe post-1945. The Cold War took the stage pretty quickly after the war and the soul-searching took a back seat for the next several decades but for some, it was hard to square that the culture which produced Goethe and Bach and Beethoven could also produce Auschwitz and Treblinka.
The banality of evil, the humiliation of Versailles, the Depression, etc, etc. Maybe all of the above but I think the primary reason was the simple fact that, as the Weimar Republic crumbled, the Nazis were a better alternative than the Bolsheviks. Or put a better way, the Bolsheviks were so repellant that the Nazis looked good by way of comparison.
A warning from history, perhaps, but for people who would otherwise not be susceptible in the least, the repellent ideology of CRT will in short order make fascism seem eminently reasonable and appealing.
Well said!
Yes, they borrowed the concept of Original Sin.
It isn’t a cult tho, I swear.
LOL, great point.
Then there are the oaths and rituals.
CRT is bullshit. It teaches that white people are all racist by birth, and asks us to atone for shit we never did.
LOL Tucker Carlson talking points! You make my case for me … threaten white privilege and they go beserrk.
No, those are: John McWhorter, Matt Taibbi, Coleman Hughes, and Shelby Steele’s same points.
Now call those black intellectuals (except Taibbi, who’s a journalist) all idiots. I dare you.

We all know Agent Po won’t read these, so they are here for the intellectually curious among us.
The basis of morality, even for an atheist, must involve reciprocity. The doctrine “I can punch you in the nose, but you may not hit me” must seem wrong to a rational, superior mind. Yet CRT is filled with such absurdities favoring people of color.
But by all means embrace CRT, BLM, and Antifa, then go sail your yacht and sip your chardonnay. It confirms what we suspect about you. Limo liberal hypocrite.
CRT, an attempt to push blacks to the center of American life, mostly using white guilt, and coercion.
It’ll run its course. Blacks are 12-13% of the population, with a huge criminal element. Who really takes this sh@t seriously? Historically, in the US, they were kitchen help and field hands. Places where they have assumed power and control — Liberia, Haiti, Newark, Chicago, Detroit — have been a disaster. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always personally got on well with black people, on the job and in the military. I wish them the best. Anyway, most of the trouble in the streets and on campus seems to be stirred up by white psuedo radicals with their heads stuck up their ass. There aren’t enough of them to make a difference.
Brh
Well, the problem is, it’s institutionalized, and they are starting the ‘oath’ stuff etc.
So it’s basically an institutionalized religion now. Who knows where that can go!
@brh
I challenge you to look up the percentage of Americans that forced other Americans to fight the then global power of England.
I assure you it was a very small percentage of total population.
Motivated people can move mountains.
Ben, good point.
Not sure of the exact %, but I know it was pretty small.
Until we work out how to reduce the number of people whatever the color, none of this bs matters. White privelege, reparations… empty, irrelevant talk about the past
Don’t worry about that. The globalists have a vaccine that will cull the herd.
I don’t know if you’re being mendacious, stupid, or both, but it all amounts to the same evil. You’re in the wrong place to carry water for Obama’s victimization/destabilization program

Good retrospective on John. Pictures of his guns and girls – mostly low level zambo prostitutes. Also a picture of the guy John had to kill. I assume he was a “great White hunter” type like Avatar, trying to horn in on John’s women.

Dr Peter Gøtzsche exposes big pharma as organized crime
“Peter C. Gøtzsche, MD is a Danish medical researcher, and leader of the Nordic Cochrane Center at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, Denmark. He has written numerous reviews within the Cochrane collaboration.
Dr.Gøtzsche has been critical of screening for breast cancer using mammography, arguing that it cannot be justified; His critique stems from a meta-analysis he did on mammography screening studies and published as Is screening for breast cancer with mammography justifiable? in The Lancet in 2000. In it he discarded 6 out of 8 studies arguing their randomization was inadequate.
In 2006 a paper by Gøtzsche on mammography screening was electronically published in the European Journal of Cancer ahead of print. The journal later removed the paper completely from the journal website without any formal retraction. The paper was later published in Danish Medical Bulletin with a short note from the editor, and Gøtzsche and his coauthors commented on the unilateral retraction that the authors were not involved in.
In 2012 his book Mammography Screening: Truth, Lies and Controversy was published. In 2013 his book Deadly Medicines and Organized Crime: How Big Pharma has Corrupted Healthcare was published.”
https://youtu.be/dozpAshvtsA
Besides Gøtzsche’s book on mammography the ebook “The Mammogram Myth” by Rolf Hefti (author’s summary at https://www.rolf-hefti.com/mammograms.html ), are the only two truly extensive, independent works on the big fraud of mammography.
These books complement each other and make evident that women have NOT been given an “informed choice” about screening but a deliberately biased or disinformed choice to their detriment.
I have a horror story about the one mammogram I got. The experience was awful! The mammogram itself is torture, then they say the ‘may have found something’ so they can get $$$$ to slice into you and then say “whoops no you’re good”.
Yet another horrible scam.
This may be one of the greatest memes created.

That’s very generous description of an obscure trivial meme. But carry on – I withdraw the request for it to be translated … the moment has passed anyway.
Here is a nicer one:
All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts,
From today’s essay:
As “Joe Biden” fades altogether from the scene, the country will have to grapple with the real problems it faces, not hobgoblins of racism, misogyny, white supremacy but how to cope with a dwindling energy supply and a falling standard of living, and how to remain civilized.
I agree, and there is serious fault on both sides in the “culture wars” that infest the media and distract everyone from seeing the main game.
Fox News hysteria over Dr Seuss and CRT are in a contest with the deification of George Floyd, and political correctness in all corners of the public square.
Happens on here too – never a chance goes by where someone doesn’t have a little rant about transgender and pregnancy accommodation in the armed forces, as if that is emasculating this man’s army, and the Russkis or the Chinese are going to storm over the good guys.
Yes – we need much more emphasis on dwindling energy supplies, the agenda to reach “net zero emissions” by next Friday at the latest, and never-ending techno- dreams, with a new Apple or Samsung “model” coming out every month or three.
What are the brains trusts going to do to “fix” the wrecked cities that rock the country. Untold resources will go into the Miami condo collapse – what about Portland or Seattle or Minneapolis?

LOL they’re not my CIA, Antifa, r BLM … I am a mere centrist observer and commentator, plus I dislike zealotry and extremism from any and all sides! Social democracy and responsible government are my gig.
But you want to reward bad, destructive, and irresponsible behavior. This makes you – excuse my candor – an idiot. People who elect a bunch of Red Guard politicians can live with and pay for the consequences.
Nah, ‘Tekapo’ is in vociferous favor of increased Division.
Not an idiot at all.
But you want to reward bad, destructive, and irresponsible behavior.
That’s a ridiculous conclusion, and totally devoid of reason or justification.
I think the riots should have been dealt with totally – not by killing or maiming people – but a combo of a significant show of force plus skilled negotiations.
That whole bullshit in Seattle was a scandal – you might be surprised the degree to which I support law & order … destruction of property and lives is never justified, no matter how aggrieved and righteous the rioters might feel.
Appeasement doesn’t work.
Are you serious, Tekapo? The radical left-wing nut job mayors and city councils of these cities allowed thugs to riot, loot, burn, and inflict injuries for months. Now we’re supposed to send our money to rebuild these places! For what – so your friends can burn them down again?
And you howl like a stuck pig about a couple hours when rowdy tourists ran around unsupervised in the Capitol building. Relax, the FBI was leading them the whole time.
I know you must write such ridiculous things just to get a rise out of the adults in the room.

Actually I think it’s the reverse, and you might be projecting a little there!
I have seen all the unedited bodycam footage of the assault and riot at the US Capitol … the Fox News talking points – the rowdy tourists – doesn’t wash with anyone who allows themselves to see.
But you have no problem with BLM and Antifa thugs rioting?
He follows the Democrat/libtard narrative to a T.
So I could answer that for you, knowing their narrative very well.
Po is a Media Matters cypher.
But you have no problem with BLM and Antifa thugs rioting?
It’s a complete deflection and has nothing to do with the discussion – it is a classic combo of strawman and whataboutism. Does you no credit.
But since you ask, I hate what has happened in so many cities, and believe it is tragic, utterly pointless, and totally counter-productive.
The authorities (many Dems) should have dealt with it crisply and within the law, but been really tough. Allowing the mob to run riot was the most ridiculous approach – and cost the Dems lots of votes in 2020 I expect.
It’s a complete deflection and has nothing to do with the discussion
You asked what about Portland and Minneapolis…he answered that question by suggesting Antifa/BLM stop trashing them.
So you see, it has everything to do with the discussion, you led with a question, he followed with an answer. That is called “discussion”.
I’ll have office hours this afternoon if you’re having trouble keeping up with the curriculum.
So true, Mr Mango. Above Tekapo sua sponte raised the issue of the cities burned down in last summer’s daily rioting. I quote:
” Untold resources will go into the Miami condo collapse – what about Portland or Seattle or Minneapolis? – Tekapo
Then when we discuss that issue and who burned those cities down, and who permitted it, he becomes hissy fit defensive. I quote:
“It’s a complete deflection and has nothing to do with the discussion – it is a classic combo of strawman and whataboutism.” – Tekapo
Is this part of the mystery of having a big-brained rational mind? The kind he boasts of, the kind we lack. LOL
Message to Tekapo’s deep state handlers: You’re embarrassing yourselves every week you trot out this buffoon.
Hire me. I’m far more eloquent, possess a larger, erudite vocabulary, have a gift for humor and phrasing which your dullard lacks. And I’m ten times the advocate this playground Plato will ever be.
Of course, I don’t work cheap. If you want me to betray humanity to serve your Satanic masters, I’ll need big money..And 72 virgins. But we can negotiate the number.
Lol.
Hey Tekapo’s deep state handlers, I’ll undercut hmuller by 10%…eh?
hmuller love the Tekapo examples.
Mr. Deep State should become another one of his nicknames.
Or Mr. Lame Deep State because he’s so obvious.
What about “Ashli Babbitt’s” “murder,” Josie?
Did you see her co-ordinating with those around her before she ultimately climbed that phoney bologna baricade (on the Wrong side of the door!) to be “shot” “dead?”
So what? We USE it against them.
I’m sorry but after 9 months of rioting and looting aided and abetted by the Democrat party, with 35 people dead, 700 police officers injured, shops and homes destroyed and $2 billion in damage the 6th was in comparison a noisy protest. The only violent death that day was clearly unarmed 90lb woman who was gunned down in cold blood by a Democrat goon hidden behind a door. Unlike EVERY OTHER police shooting the Democrat goon remains unidentified.
In a land of over 400 million firearms, the so called insurrectionists didn’t bring any.
Well put. There’s absolutely no equivalence between what happened in DC on the 6th and the BLM/Antifa fiascos.
Maybe somebody, including our esteemed host, already referenced this but, if so, I missed it. Mea culpa. Or maybe I plumb forgot.
But it seems that Cornell University is offering a course called “Black Holes, Race and the Cosmos”.
I first heard of it when I read on RealClearScience an article on this course by somebody called Hontas Farmer.
I doubted that this was at all on the level so I looked to Cornell’s website. And there it is:
https://classes.cornell.edu/browse/roster/SP21/class/COML/2034
I still have to wonder if this is a practical joke of some kind. Maybe it is and if so it has to rank up there with some of Monty Python’s most inspired lunacy.
But sadly, I don’t think it is a joke. I think it probably is a serious attempt at scholarship, or what passes for serious nowadays.
OK, I’ll get to the point. Not long ago I posted a comment that people pay huge sums of money to go to university to have their intellectual capacities diminished. This is the kind of shit that I was talking about. IF it really is on the level, which I still have trouble believing.
But if this is the nonsense being peddled as knowledge by institutions of – cough – higher learning, then it would greatly behoove humanity to take apart each of the buildings on each offending campus brick-by-brick and either throw each brick into the nearest deep body of water or recycle them for a better purpose like, for example, affordable housing.
Because what this points to is a ludicrous misallocation of scarce resources. Baloney like this is unaffordable. And if this is what universities are presently about, they need to be shut down.
Gravity is a white patriarchal myth. Protons are anti-gay. And don’t get me started on the racism imposed by the speed of light – speed of white – more like it!
Oh it’s happening.
Our college asked the planning & research department to please report their statistics through the ‘lens’ of equity.
Which makes zero sense of course. How do you report data through lens? You don’t. You report data.
It sounds to my own uneducated ears that “lens of equity” means “fake the numbers”.
Could be.
Hahahahaha. The lens of equity.
Right? They’ve all gone bananas.
There are suckers out there who pay $70,000 per year to attend Cornell and learn that stupid sh@t.
Suckers, dupes, mopes, marks, prey, targets … call them what you will. Sure you can laugh at them, but for God sakes show some pity too.

Covid-19 updates: Merkel warns Europe is ‘on thin ice’ as concerns about delta variant grow
German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned that Europe remains “on thin ice” in its fight against the coronavirus, as experts predicted that the more infectious delta variant, which was first detected in India, would become the dominant variant across much of the continent by summer’s end.
Here are some other developments:
* A new study led by Britain’s Kent University suggests that the first coronavirus case in China probably occurred on Nov. 17, 2019. Using statistic modeling techniques, researchers said that the first U.S. case most likely emerged on Jan. 16, 2020.
* India administered a record 8 million vaccine doses in one day earlier this week. But experts fear low vaccine stockpiles will leave the country unable to prevent a third wave of infections, Bloomberg News reported. At least 390,000 people have died of the virus there.
* Sydney will go into a partial lockdown on Friday as officials in Australia’s most populous city try to stamp out a growing delta variant outbreak.
* Japan is donating another 1 million doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine to Taiwan. This follows an earlier delivery of more than 1.2 million shots to the East Asian island, which had effectively eliminated the virus until cases started surging in May.
* Doctors in Britain have reported a record rise in respiratory illnesses, particularly among younger children. The National Health Service said it was “overwhelmed” by these cases, which are not covid-related and common in the winter months — but are climbing as distancing restrictions ease across the country. Indonesia, which is fighting a post-Ramadan spike in infections, reported a record 20,574 new cases on Thursday.

That’s rather disturbing news, OG.
This Delta variant, where did it come from? A mutation from the original Covid 19 virus? I remember reading about AIDS, that the virus kept changing and altering itself in order to stay alive as different anti viral medications were introduced into the body.
Like AIDS, I have a feeling Covid 19 will always be with us, albeit in different forms.
Brh
Yep.
AIDS was the warm-up act.
Worked perfectly to dupe the public, so they rolled out Covid19.
Like AIDS, I have a feeling Covid 19 will always be with us, albeit in different forms.
You can say that again. But the unifying thread will be that they’re all complete bullshit.
Where did it all come from? From the same place everything else comes these days: the head of corporate marketing, aka the ministry of propaganda.
Believe nothing that you hear, very little of what you see, and precious little of what you actually experience. The Big Lie is strong and growing ever stronger by the day these days.
Yep.
They warned us, came out and said they’d know when they’ve won when every American believes in the fake reality they’ve created. We’re about there.
There is no Delta variant. They are desperate to vaccinate kids here.
The STIKO chief is somehow not a globalist fuck and has just refused again, enraging Spahn, Merkel, and Wieler — globalist fucks.
Owl
The Delta mutation was all over local news this morning, segment after segment blaming this “new” variant on “the unvaxed”.
Looks like it’s a worldwide initiative.
Gee, who could have ever foresaw that eventuality?
Thank goodness for the few brave folks.
I hope he doesn’t get removed and replaced with a WEF puppet.
Israel is all masked up again, enraged at people who refuse. Some of the smartest people on Earth live there…..
Imagine! A meme so totally bullshit that even the Jews won’t subscribe to it! Who’d a thunk?
As a Jew, let me say that Jews are the stupidest smart people on earth.
This is their big push to try and mandate a vaccine.
Timed to occur with the introduction of the .absolutely in-no-way-mandatory-for-now Green Pass.
I hope she ends up swinging from a rope by the end of this.
If even a few million more people wake up, and deaths of kids might do that, those people won’t be able to walk down the street and be safe.
Any new news on the Durham™ Investigation, or on the Obama Cabal being soonly Exposed, or such stuffs? Anyone?
When predicted things don’t happen over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and
No, none of that is going to happen; it’s just going to get slowly, grindingly worse, for almost all of us. Prepare accordingly.
Agree. I have absolutely no hope of any one of the PTB/cabal/psychopaths in charge ever being held accountable.
Mostly agree, but a few (7) physicians did meet their end at the gallows on 2 June 1948. I wonder how many more got away.
Videos are poor quality B&W.
I’m for 24/7 web cam, let them swing in the breeze for a few days.
WE can definitely keep hoping and working toward that end, anyway. I know I won’t quit.
I should have said, I have no expectation of it… there is always hope.
There also is a great deal of clatter and noise generated by the greatly “learned” and the greatly “virtuous” who tell us constantly that the societies that we live in are defined by White hegemony and White privilege.
Ok, let’s for the moment accept this as true. What does this mean in practical terms? Firstly, it looks to my eyes that a disproportionate number of these noisemakers are White and high-income and wealthy, having attended or are currently working in highly expensive colleges and universities. And by their own logic they are in the positions they are in because of this system of White hegemony and White privilege.
If this is true then it also logically means that non-Whites were unjustly deprived of positions in life and employment by these same Whites because of this White power structure. And it also means that money and wealth that should have by rights accrued to non-Whites, were unjustly taken by those White people, you know, those people making all the commotion.
And if this is true, especially given all the noise and furor created by these privileged Whites about their own unearned circumstances, it is way past time for all these noise-making Whites to put up or shut up. Give up your money, give up your job and your house and your stocks and bonds and put all of it in a fund as compensation for the non-White people you screwed out of what they deserved. You’ve been talking about it for long enough. Time for action.
Some call for a system of reparations. Ok, let’s go, let’s start on a voluntary basis. Let those who claim virtue back it up with action.
I’ve read some commentary on this blog by apparent Whites talking about White privilege and hegemony. Words have consequences. So let them put their money where their mouth is.
Something like that happened at least once before in history.

Well, it’s a long way from southside Chicago to a condo in Melbourne, Australia.
At any rate, Australia has it’s own set of unique problems, not the least of which is its proximity to the Chinese Colossus.
Like the Japanese in 1941, China just might take exception to round eyed White Mice (Japanese term for Australians and Americans in WW2) living in their Asian neighborhood.
Brh
LOL! I know all about ’round eye” – my best friend in Chicago is Japanese American.
We had several jokes about it between us.
The Aussies have their own race problems. Seems they scoffed a good sized piece of real estate from a pre-existing population. But that’s pretty small beer next to the existential issue you brought up: China.

Haven’t you heard that logic is racist? I pity both Mr. Spock and all the poor schmoes who program and maintain our critical computerized infrastructure.
Hypocrisy, on the other hand, has free rein among the woke, so don’t look to them to volunteer either their jobs or their resources in faux “reparations” (but they will readily volunteer ours).
Logic is racist, math is racist, and so is dark wood paneling or so I’ve read. The woke are useless, illiterate, innumerate, narcissistic ninnies whose singular obsession is themselves.
We are of like mind.
Also, too, climate change is racist.
I forgot about climate change.
The Dane geld. Pay it in gold or your privates.
The Mongols and the Turks: Grain, Virgins, Boy Prostitutes (Turks), and Boys or Teenagers to become warriors.
The Mongols left the Russians alone otherwise. Had no interest in changing them. Thus when they finally rebelled, they fought the Swedes first, because they wanted to completely change them.
Make no mistake: This is a biological war. They cease to sterilize us or breed us out of existence.
Blacks are just a weapon in their hands? Yes. So you don’t have to watch the weapon because it’s just a tool? This is how women think.
A handful of billionaires ransacked the country, in the process ruining tens of millions of lives, debasing the currency, wrecking federal and state finances, building China into a nasty adversary and global shot-caller. And you’re worried that Blacks are going to do what exactly? Screw your wife?
So burning, looting, murdering, and raping don’t matter? Ah Devil, you have revealed yourself!
Sure they matter. But who’s doing more damage?
Re this small group at the top; you’re playing right into their hands and thinking exactly how they want. Not just you but a lot of guys just like you.
The intent of this small group is self enrichment and they intend to keep their wealth via distraction and divide and rule. And you’re ignoring the gigantic country-wrecking damage they’re doing and you’re focusing on Blacks. Big mistake.
Don’t get distracted, keep your eyes on the main prize.

I Believe that this is very telling (beyond the hypocrisy of Jo complaining of being offended in the same sentence as calling his antagonist as a “god-botherer”).
Josie claims that she proved that God does not exist and, not only that, but that she did so by age 9!
That is, of course, impossible. So, why the ridiculous lie?
Josie’s evil.

May God bless you with Strength & Wisdom, Tekapo. I have Just prayed, yet again, to our Alimighty Lord for your lost soul.
Actually pursuing that logic it would be deeply offensive for an atheist not to say God bless you when a Christian sneezes. Or are religious people of unequal worth in Tekapo’s eyes?
Zing!
Now BLM burns down police stations if they dare arrest a black person:

Wowsers!!
It’s a funny thing, the Great and the Wise tell us that the Right and the White Supremacists are the greatest internal threat. Yet you look at the facts on the ground and you have to conclude that if you’re looking for violence and armed insurrection, it comes from the other side of the political spectrum.
Absolutely, But that doesn’t even make the top 100 on the list of MSM lies.
Seeing as we have a surplus of academics looking for things to do, maybe one of them could make it their life’s work to catalogue these lies. Because that’s the other thing in great surplus.
Maybe we could have a whole group of perfessers the same way that Justinian had a bunch of his legal scholars distill and codify centuries of Roman law and jurisprudence and legal opinion.
But, instead of law, we’ll have a tome of MSM lies. And how about a Book of Wall Street Lies. That ought to be a good decade of work.
These would of course be for future generations so they could have some ideas as to the societal maladies that led to our civilizational collapse.
Ha! If only. The academics I know prefer to put virtual ‘backgrounds’ on their zoom calls which are BLM banners, etc.
You betcha.
This is where Yohannon seems to have a blind spot.
It’s more about political spectrums than it is about race.
It’s more about class than it is about race.
And, it’s all engineered by the PTB.
Totally agree. Blacks seem to draw most of his ire. So much of his mental energy expended in pretty much the wrong direction. Too bad about that. Especially given that Blacks are such a small proportion of the population. There’s far bigger problems encompassing a far bigger swathe of the people.
Not true. I know who is really behind it, but the weapon is very real too – not just the hand the wields it.
It’s some black superhero, with superpowers.
In other words, don’t look at the weapon. A master swordsmen might be able to do that, but it’s fatal for everyone else.
It becomes about race if they say it’s about race – and they have. Women find this concept almost impossible to understand.
Whoosh! I’ve really got you going. Go, Yo, go!
Yeah, women typically very quick on their feet when it comes to strategic thinking and action in relationships, shopping discounts, career, etc. But somehow it often doesn’t “scale” into issues outside of their life. You simply can’t get this, though I’m sure you quite savvy in your own affairs – and of course on the issues that really interest you like health and conspiracies. Ah well, one of the mysteries of the fallen nature of Man.
This doesn’t interest you enough to challenge the dogma. So you won’t look, thus you can’t see or know.
So just ignore that three foot long, razor sharp piece of metal. Only the person matters. Not race, only class.
Whoosh! I’ve really got you going. Go, Yo, go!
Doesn’t take much. White Rage and Male Rage have a short fuse. Look at the cross-eyed one, Tucker.
Tekapo is pleased with you, Mary…..
Strictly speaking, Tekapo being pleased with you isn’t a logical argument against what you’re saying – thinking that would be considered the logical fallacy of relying on popular opinion. Yet less strictly, he is wrong about everything and if you find yourself on the same side as him, it should give you pause.
Yo? I haven’t replied to him.
Think what you want. I don’t really care.
” Look at the cross-eyed one, Tucker.” – Tekapo
Recent studies have disclosed that those who mock the cross-eyed are without exception suffering erectile dysfunction.
Trust the Science!
On a scale of 1 to 10, how proud are you of your boys out there (the Antifa, natch)?
how tall?
what weight?
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/jun/25/massive-human-head-in-chinese-well-forces-scientists-to-rethink-evolution
I don’t think anyone knows yet how tall or what weight. I think they only have the skull and nothing else.
I hope you’re not talking to me – lol.
No, that was for Volodya, but it got lost in space. The subtle indentations unnoticed.
But BLM has nothing to do with Blacks, right?
It’s an agenda. The people involved are pawns.
Matt Taibbi is doing such good work as an independent journalist, no longer under the thumb of the liberal/deep state press:
“On December 31st of last year, an 80 year-old Buffalo-area woman named Judith Smentkiewicz fell ill with Covid-19. She was rushed by ambulance to Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital in Williamsville, New York, where she was put on a ventilator. Her son Michael and his wife flew up from Georgia, and were given grim news. Judith, doctors said, had a 20% chance at survival, and even if she made it, she’d be on a ventilator for a month.
As December passed into the New Year, Judith’s health declined. Her family members, increasingly desperate, had been doing what people in the Internet age do, Googling in search of potential treatments. They saw stories about the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin, learning among other things that a pulmonologist named Pierre Kory had just testified before the Senate that the drug had a “miraculous” impact on Covid-19 patients. The family pressured doctors at the hospital to give Judith the drug. The hospital initially complied, administering one dose on January 2nd. According to her family’s court testimony, a dramatic change in her condition ensued.
“In less than 48 hours, my mother was taken off the ventilator, transferred out of the Intensive Care Unit, sitting up on her own and communicating,” the patient’s daughter Michelle Kulbacki told a court.
After the reported change in Judith’s condition, the hospital backtracked and refused to administer more. Frustrated, the family turned on January 7th to a local lawyer named Ralph Lorigo. A commercial litigator and head of what he calls a “typical suburban practice,” with seven lawyers engaged in everything from matrimonial to estate work, Lorigo assigned one of his attorneys to review materials given to them by the family, which included Kory’s Senate testimony. The associate showed Lorigo himself the the material next morning.
“I was so convinced by what Dr. Kory was saying,” Lorigo says. “I saw the passion and the belief.”
Lorigo immediately sued the hospital, filing to State Supreme Court to force the facility to treat according to the family’s wishes. Judge Henry J. Nowak sided with the Smentkiewiczes, signing an order that Lorigo and one of his attorneys served themselves, and after a series of quasi-absurd dramas that included the hospital refusing to let the Smentkiewicz family physician phone in the prescription — “the doctor actually had to drive to the hospital,” Lorigo says — Judith went back on ivermectin.”

Thank you for the excellent post. Dr.Kory was on the Dark Horse podcast and he presented evidence based medical treatment and the T.P.B—the powers that be kept shutting him down. So sad.
JHK–wow you are on a roll.
Yes, I am so very grateful that Dark Horse doesn’t shy away from the facts. Hope they will just keep finding more platforms that won’t censor them.
Yes, thank you very much for this important post, Mary.
God bless Matt Taibbi.

Hey Josie!
How come you never leave your brain droppings on a thread like this one?
Explain this – going on all over our entire globe – as some sort of mass incompetence and not a co-ordinated conspiracy to have every soul jabbed.
How many times have you been jabbed, Jo? Are you a Pfizer guy or a Moderna gal? A mix-&-matcher?
Please tell us that you have made your “sacrifice” for our elusive herd immunity.
Or are you completely full of shit, Josephine Alexandria? Spewing nonsense that TPTB do not conspire at their secret, Top Security, Bilderberger meetings but avoiding their poisonous jabs yourself.
——–
Tekapo, may God bless you and your lost soul.
If it be God’s will, may he reveal Himself to you as He did to Saul.
He can’t even argue that Matt Taibbi is some far right fringer… so there’s that.
One of many reasons Po can’t weigh in on these sorts of articles.
@MaryQueen
Thanks for posting. It’s sad that a judge had to get involved, but heartening that he made the hospital do what it was supposed to.
I think it’s a matter of time before big business and government start putting on the pressure to get the experimental vaccine or lose job or rights.
Of course, San Francisco would be at the forefront of such an effort. Per a yahoo news article (I’m not sure what the policy is on links here, JHK or moderator, please advise), SF will require vaccines for all city employees, or they face penalties up to dismissal. The rule will take effect once FDA approves vaccines (they are currently “authorized” for “emergency” use).
Houston Methodist hospital requires employees to get vaccinated or they face dismissal. This week 150 employees were fired.
What a world we live in!
I saw a great Peggy Hall segment (she’s fighting city hall tooth and nail in Orange County, CA) where she opined that the Houston Methodist lawsuit focused on the wrong violation and that’s why it was dismissed. They should have focused on their Constitutional rights being violated but instead they went after the governors mandate, I believe.
So, it’s very important in these lawsuits to go after the right thing. There are many attorneys who don’t get it even if their heart is in the right place.
Just imagine what happens to people who can’t afford an attorney or don’t have family or friends to stick up for them.
This is why 1000s died in NYC, per Erin Olszewski, who documented it using her phone. Early on in the plandemic, she claims that any person walking in off the street who sought help for whatever ailment was drugged and put on a ventilator to die. Each one of those deaths netted the hospital $39K. The doctors overheard in the video display a complete lack of respect for life. Sadly, that is where our medical community is now. Money-grubbing drug pushers.
American Renaissance
Posted on June 24, 2021Blackness Fatigue: Enough Is Too Much
Fred Reed, American Renaissance, June 24, 2021
Methinks the US may very well be heading toward a social explosion. The phrase “race war “is overwrought if it implies organized units and chains of command. However, in a country awash in firearms, a bloody, disorganized, continent-wide eruption is possible. To think “it can’t happen here” is complacently inattentive. We have already seen it in temporal and geographic piecemeal in the Fergusons and Portlands and Baltimores, in the armed anarchy of the cities. Arguably a broader uprising has failed to happen only because of intense pressure from government and media, and because whites have not acquired a sense of racial identity. If they do, or when they do, Katie bar the door.
Both racial war, and its close cousin, ethnic war, result from contact between groups of different kinds — that is, diversity, which causes most of the world’s bloodshed. Americans seldom notice this. One reasons is that they are constantly told that diversity is a blissful state. But it isn’t. Consider: Catholics and Protestants in Ireland, Sunnis and Shia in many places, Jews and Moslems in Palestine, Hutus and Tutsis in Burundi, Hindus and Moslems in India and nearby, Tamils and Sinhalese in Sri Lanka, Chinese and Indonesians in Indonesia, French and Africans in Paris, and so on. The assertion that “diversity is our strength” seems an attempt to avoid realizing that it isn’t.
Racial and ethnic conflicts are cruel, often explosive, and irrational. They seldom make sense because the devastation and hideousness are disproportionate to the assigned causes. For example, the differences between Protestants and Catholics in Ireland are so slight as probably to be undetectable to you and me, yet the two fought murderously for years, blowing up pubs packed with member of the other faction. In the American case, nice and good-hearted people will point out that blacks are warm and friendly people if they like you, immensely talented in this and that, have legitimate grievances’ against society, and so on. All true. And irrelevant. Similar things can be said about both sides in most ethnic conflicts.
The prospect for bloodshed grows in the presence of other forms of social tension and is probably proportional to suppression of mention of the frictions. You can’t solve a problem if you don’t admit that it exists. The United States today is bent to the breaking point under many stresses other than racial. Severe economic uncertainty, declining standards of living, growing economic inequality, crushing debt loads to include student debt that hinders normal formation of families, hatred — not too strong a word — between Trump people and the coastal elites who rule the country, actual poverty in Appalachia, the Rust Belt, and the rural South, large and growing homeless populations, immigration, and the recent discovery that America consists of many cultures that do not like each other: New England, Alabama, West Virginia, Jews, Latinos. These constitute a poisonous accelerant that will detonate easily and intensify any conflict.
Note that most of the whites involved in the Floyd eruption were not greatly interested in blacks. They appeared to be bored youth with no prospects and much free-floating anger looking for an outlet. The prolonged rioting in Portland involved fairly few blacks. Blacks themselves are furious over being at the bottom of society, also with no prospects, a condition they blame, with encouragement from the media, on racism. If this were the case, it would be easy to correct.
Then, ominously, the imposition of black cultural norms on whites. America is being utterly remade to conform to the desires of blacks, this being pushed by people most of whom do not like blacks. How many of them go to black ghettos to eat, or send their children to black urban schools? Rather the whites opposing “systemic racism” seethe with hostility to the deplorables, whom they detest. and want to shove blackness down their throats. In doing this they are threatening things dear to at least half of the white population: their culture, children, physical safety, and sense of propriety. This is not smart.
The danger is that a flashpoint will come, that for example BLM will mob the wrong house in the wrong state and the occupants will open fire, leaving a dozen dead. The entire country would explode. Nice well-intentioned whites would not be able to protest that they supported the fight against systemic racism. That is not how racial and ethnic wars work.
We are seeing a ferocious attack on the underpinnings of white European civilization , and for that matter of all actual civilizations. Japan, India, China, South Korea — none would buy into the enstupidation and degradation. Neither would Argentina or Mexico, which try to raise their cultural levels. Only America is on a downward path, in search of social justice.
Consider: Math curricula are being dumbed down because blacks do poorly at math, English grammar instruction eliminated because blacks can’t or won’t learn it, entrance exams for the elite and demanding high schools eliminated because blacks don’t pass them, SATs dropped because blacks score poorly on them, promotion exams in police departments eliminated because blacks don’t pass them. Entrance requirements at medical school are lowered because not enough blacks pass them, AP courses in high school eliminated because too few blacks get into them.
Dangerously, the government forbids white parents to have schools teaching what they regard as desirable material at what they regard as acceptable academic levels while requiring what they regard as civilized behavior. White parents are forced to see their children subjected to what they regard as obscene, semiliterate, violent, stupid, a culture dominated by what seems to them, (and would to any First World country) the opposite of cultivation. When parents whose daughter wants to go into electronic engineering see her forced into pseudo math taught by teachers who couldn’t recognize a partial derivative if it spoke to them in tongues, when she ought to be in AP calculus, they are not happy. But there is nothing they can do about it. Yet.
Imposing black intellectual standards on a country that sees itself in competition with disciplined, studious, bright, and exceedingly numerous Chinese engineers has obvious consequences that already make themselves felt. Much of the white population, aware of this, becomes angry and angrier.
The decline started perhaps when the Supreme Court disallowed the use of IQ tests by employers because blacks couldn’t pass them, and allowed affirmative action, racial discrimination against whites, because blacks couldn’t advance without it. This incapacity is the root of the racial problem. It cannot be solved, if it can be solved in any circumstances, in a politically chaotic and censored country that refuses to address it. Renaming buildings and toppling statutes will improve nothing while raising the level of anger among whites.
Not all of this degradation arises from the demands of blacks. The conversion of universities from scholarly enterprises into profit centers required the admission of huge cohorts of students neither intellectually or culturally suited to higher education. These, like blacks, have neither the interest nor capacity for genuine schooling. America’s characteristic anti-intellectualism and resentment of superiority plays a part. The argument for it is embodied in the semi-literate gibberish of education majors who themselves are unsuited for schooling. But blacks have provided the throw-weight for the promulgation of peasantry. Pampered white rabble have found that they can force elimination of virtually anything they don’t like by calling it racist.
The renaming of streets and buildings, the toppling of statues, the near worship of a negligible armed robber and semi-derelict, the renaming of military bases in narcissistic self-abnegation are winding a spring. It is dangerous that those angrily promoting the appeasement, the media, the talking heads in New York, do not see the advancing fury. These people, substantially congruent with the coastal elites, elected Trump by being contemptuous of Middle America and blandly unaware of the brewing storm. They are doing it again.
Yet it is black crime that is likely to provide the ignition. The figures are stark, undeniable, at the level of states, municipalities, FBI. These numbers are unknown in any other civilized country. It is perilous that black men rape white women at a high rate, while the reverse barely happens. Sexual transgression pushes primordial buttons that are not wise to push. At what seem shrinking intervals black mobs burn cities, loot and destroy stores., wreak havoc on neighborhoods, and go largely unopposed. Governments at all levels fear them, know that if they respond forcefully, the entire country will go up in flames. The police are cowed and neutered, so crime rises sharply. Whites, intimidated — intimidated so far — flee. Many cities are now only formally part of the United States. The black mobs do as they please without consequence.
The appeasement of blacks, fear that they might riot, runs through society. Increasingly, jurisdictions simply give up on enforcing the law. Cities like Chicago and New York have abolished cash bail to that criminals immediately go free, and immediately often offend again. Baltimore and Chicago no longer prosecute minor offenses such as prostitution and urinating in public. San Francisco has made shoplifting of goods worth less than $950 a misdemeanor, the shoplifters not being Asians, with the result that to this date seventeen Walgreens have closed (video). Cities stop prosecuting the jumping of subway turnstiles as this is done only by blacks and Hispanics. The latter won’t riot. The former will, and governments know it. When blacks very often racially attack whites, the media suppress the story. There are many, many of these attacks, covered briefly in local media but ignored by the majors, caught on video that circulates widely online.
Herein lies a great peril. Blacks are accustomed to getting anything they want and growing confident, expect whites forever to back away. Perhaps, living in concentrated ghettos, not reading, poorly educated, they do not realize the certain outcome of an actual war. They are fed by white farmers from afar, heavily outnumbered, with electricity dependent on fuel supplies from sources run by whites.
Twenty-four Black on White Homicides in a Month. Read it. This goes on all the time. Over and over.
The racial attacks on whites and Asians share an unsettling explosiveness, an apparent lack of impulse control or awareness of consequences. A black shoots a store clerk for telling him to pull up his mask. Or black man stabs 96-year-old Asian woman. A black man shoots a white woman because she cut him off in traffic. Black man throws white five-year-old off third-floor balcony. Black man stabs four-year-old to death. Black man shoots white five-year-old in head.
The psychology here is strange. Shooting a child with no provocation in front of witnesses, or throwing one off a balcony in front of witnesses, or shooting a clerk for saying “Please pull up your mask,” all certain to lead to life in prison or close to it, is baffling.
Government and the media hide what is going on. In crime stories they increasingly do not publish the race or photo of perpetrators. This, they say, would perpetuate stereotypes, as indeed it would. Stereotypes are the aggregate observations of many people over time and are almost always accurate. But there is another, and worse, pattern. For example, when a black was shot in Ferguson, black witnesses lied, saying that he had his hands up and said, “Don’t shoot!” The media bought this and propagated it. They invariably go for the bad-white-innocent-blacks narrative and ghetto blacks, who don’t, and often cannot read, believe it and understandably become enraged. An uprising follows.
In particular the media do not make public the very real hatred of blacks for whites. Exceptions and degrees, yes, but the centerline is a powerful hostility. If you doubt this, and the brewing reaction, watch this video by Jared Taylor, one of many white advocates never seen in the media. About the video, two points: First, the examples of black hatred are documented, verifiable, and many. Second, whatever you may think of him, he is an example of what a great many quietly say — quietly because you can lose your job for saying the wrong thing.
What the country is doing hasn’t worked, isn’t working, and shows no sign of working. Things get worse by the month. With Biden, Harris, Pelosi, and so on apparently doing everything they can to infuriate the other half of the country — gun control, open borders, erasing the South, anti-white indoctrination in the schools, promotion of sexual curiosities, on and on, anger will grow. As the man associated with Finland Station asked, “What is to be done?”
Unfortunately nothing can be done. Anything that might work is politically impossible, and anything that is politically possible won’t work. Cosmetics, moral preening, lowering of standards, party politics — none of these will fix the country. In calmer times, saner heads might prevail. Partial alleviation might be achieved by allowing, or encouraging, voluntary segregation, taking white police out of black neighborhoods, letting black neighborhoods decide what laws to enforce within their own boundaries, letting the races decide for themselves what to teach their children, and to the extent possible allowing racial autonomy. Instead, the elites will double down on what isn’t working and nothing will get better, except the monthly sales at gun shops.
Yoho: That Black mob coming down the street doesn’t matter. They’re just people! It’s the Elite who are the real problem….
MarV: Go to Amren and check out the Jared Taylor video embedded here. He’s closer to your class than I am and you might find him more convincing.
Wow going all out. I suppose I should be flattered, but …nope.
The Truth is the Truth. You’re too attached to your Liberalism – a word that has changed meaning again and again. Originally it meant free thinking or inquiry in contrast to the earlier ages of Christian doctrine. Jefferson is considered a Liberal – and he wanted them sent out of the United States. So obviously you’re a different kind of Liberal than he was.
Now Liberalism has come to mean no inquiry but only doctrine. This is where you are – on this issue. Not everything obviously.
The Kipling poem didn’t move you? Your heart is brass!
The biggest enemy (for all) is not elites, racial others, or political groupings. It is energy miscalculation. Economic overshoot. This root enemy common to all will in turns aggravate or alleviate divisions within the populace as it reveals itself.
But, again, the biggest enemy is common to all… economic miscalculation… and culpability for it’s threat is also pretty much common to all at this point
It may unite or divide.
A racist white supremacist telling me that my heart is brass is probably one of the more ironic moments in my life.
Thanks for that!
Those talking points are very mediated, straight out of CNN. In fact, I don’t believe Whites are the smartest – East Asians and the Ashkenazi are smarter.
And Blacks of West African descent are the best athletes – at least in most respects.
So how am I White Supremacist? Because I put my people first and value them the most? Like every other people does? I’m offering you a different perspective – that White Nationalism isn’t completely focused on the negative of hating others but rather on the positive, of loving one’s own.
You said you liked to be challenged….
“racist white supremacist”
Mary,
Does being a racist and white supremist automatically negate any truth that might be offered by the adjudged offender?
Yo, you have proudly asserted many times to being a white supremacist, and your views are patently racist. So that was not an insult or a CNN talking point. That’s your own admission.
elysianfield, yes, I do consider the source when insulted.
Nope. You’re wrong. I’ve never said Whites are supreme.
You’re projecting – Again.
Nope. You’re wrong. I’ve never said Whites are supreme.
What nonsense … you never say anything else! If you’re going to spout white supremacist rubbish day in and day out, at least be a man and own up to it.
Tek, read my first comment below Mary’s. I don’t say we’re the smartest, nor the most athletic, nor for that matter, the best businessmen.
Prove me wrong. I’ve been consistent. I simply believe we have the same right as other groups – and that is radical indeed in this climate.
Wow. Now you are flat out lying.
You have openly touted: White supremacy, fascism, and male superiority to women.
At least admit it. It’s all over the archives. Maybe I’ll do a little round-up of some of the top comments.
But if you are no longer proud of being a white supremacist, I guess now is the time to admit that, lest we be confused at your new stance.
If you think increasingly calling me a liberal is getting to me, I can assure you I don’t really care what some random dude in a blog comments section calls me.
Just so maybe you can stop wasting your time.
No fool like an old fool, you foolish lib woman.
again,
The racial attacks on Whites [FIXED THAT] and Asians share an unsettling explosiveness..
actually there are more black on black attacks.
as in 300,000 blacks killed by blacks in a few decades, not that google etc will tell you that.
I still say the problem is more economic than it is racial, but I realize that POV is not very welcome up here.
”
I still say the problem is more economic than it is racial, ”
Mary,
You might say that, but you would be wrong. You are attempting to parse an issue with education, intellect and but a paucity of experience. Your viewpoint reflects an upbringing in a civil environment. The ghetto, however, is the antithesis of civil discourse. If you lived in one for any time, you would understand the issues.
But your worldview is based on the fact that you have not.
The article by Fred is correct in almost all respects. I will defend my position, and his, until the day I die, there are no grey areas where arguments can be successfully applied, where misguided “common sense” might prevail…Fred speaks the absolute, unadulterated truth to an issue that cannot be discussed in polite circumstances.
Easily determined if true: get crime figures by race and by economic status and compare. Then you can post a comment here backing up your statement.
It’s economic. It’s cultural. Hell, there may even be some (more minor) genetic components Yoho loves to break taboo on and overemphasize by over-reacting to those taboos. (And genetic criticisms cut both ways).
I have no problem with racial conflict. I agree with most of that posted article there. Eventually there will be a white backlash if there’s enough push, and blacks in america may regret adopting simplistic, opportunistic views that encourage conflict
But i think “long-emergency” bolts tightening will cut across some of this division and hit everyone equally in places that hurt
Bill,
During my tenure in Oakland, most of the blacks in that particular ghetto were lower-middle class. Most were clothed and had a roof over their head, many had vehicles, most appeared well fed.
Economic? How so?
Oho! When gustavson doesn’t agree with you guys, he doesn’t get labeled a liberal.
Is that label only slapped on females who dare stand up for themselves?
Mary Q, yoho has called me lib multiple times for not subscribing to his racial genetics, but he let up when i described that i’m comfortable with violent solutions and the right of groups to fight other groups directly for survival. Still, if you won’t sign a skinhead pamphlet, you’ll get called a lib
But i do think it’s more than only economics. It’s cultural fault and weakness… on both sides
Um, I’m not a liberal.
Ironically, you guys are all getting just as bad as the liberals, behavior-wise. When they call you a conservative or white supremacist for one lousy opinion on something that doesn’t gel with their ideology.
If you notice, I post things here from a wide spectrum of political points of view.
I don’t even agree with 3d wave feminists, and have been accused of that, too.
Not one of you seems to be able to deal with someone who doesn’t fit your stereotypical cookie cutter.
Mary, it’s a challenge when you get pulled into the race conversation with the pros, isn’t it. Been there…methinks you’ll be fine.
Yoho – do you suspect all the readers on here are muppets? Why do you have to copy & paste miles of cabbage screed? Wouldn’t a link with a pithy comment telling us why it should be read be sufficient?
Wow a lot in there. Fred just about sums it up.
One point he brings up — the rape of white women — caught my interest. Early on last summer when the disturbances began there was hours of video featuring young white coed types out in the streets with the BLM mobs, scantily dressed in radically chic attire and showing a lot of cleavage and skin. I remember thinking these girls were never properly schooled in self preservation, how to dress properly, and the need for modesty in public places; clearly they were in danger without even realizing it (that’s how stupid they are) Looking back, I wonder how many of these naive young ladies ended up raped, beaten up, forced into prostitution, or murdered (now missing)?
Brh
