Karma is God’s hickory switch, and almost always applied with a cosmic chortle. Things come around when a certain excess cargo of cognitive dissonance breaks the brains of those just struggling to carry on. The country has had enough — enough walking-talking hypocrisies, enough trips laid on it, enough Tik-tok lectures from the nose-rings-for-lunch-bunch. We’re at the end of something and the beginning of something new. As in: an ass-beating is coming down.
Cue one Oliver Anthony, southern country boy with a flaming red beard and a new anthem for millions sore-beset by the relentless effronteries of the ruling elites. Rolling Stone Magazine, a ruling elites house organ, played the phenomenon this way:
These things listed above are…what? Things that Rolling Stone is in favor of? Pet causes? High taxes and obese people on welfare? And Mr. Anthony’s song is dissing them? You mean Right-Wing influencers shouldn’t mention Jeffrey Epstein’s name? Is it just plain rude… or does it stir up unappetizing questions that are better off not being asked (in polite company)? Kind of shows you where the battle lines are drawn now, doesn’t it?
Perhaps the final insult galvanizing all this sentiment in a song was Merrick Garland’s devious Friday afternoon announcement — when, theoretically, no one was paying attention — that he appointed US Attorney David Weiss as Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden matter. This is the same David Weiss, you understand, who oversaw the Hunter Biden investigation for the past five years before ascertaining anything that might be chargeable from a vast inventory of financial crimes with an overlay of documented sex and drug transgressions. The same David Weiss who let the statute of limitations run out on many of those crimes while he dawdled and frittered in Wilmington. The same David Weiss who cooked up a wrist-slap plea agreement on all this, with a hidden Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free clause inserted slyly in the fine print of the so-called “diversion agreement” that would have immunized Hunter B against any further inquiries — which Judge Maryellen Noreika discovered only by chance at the last moment, scotching the deal. (And yet, the government now claims that the diversion agreement — and Hunter B’s immunity from further charges — “stands alone,” is “in effect” and “still binding.” Hmmmm….)
This sort of in-your-face audacity sums up Mr. Garland’s reckless, lawless run as a rogue attorney general. But then who do you appeal to for relief? Anybody wondering why there is actually no justice in America these days need seek no further. By the way, the appointment of Mr. Weiss was patently illegal. The Special Counsel statute states plainly that the post can only be occupied by someone not in the employ of the government. Does Mr. Garland not know how this works?
What the AG also flung in America’s face was the “ongoing investigation” dodge that supposedly would allow the DOJ to avoid answering any congressional inquiries into Hunter Biden’s tangled financial crimes, which, after all, were committed in the service of the Biden family global racketeering operation. Has a cover-up ever been more blatant? And so now the time has come to impeach Merrick Garland for breaking the special counsel law and obstruction of justice. It’s pretty cut and dried, and it should be the first order of business when Congress returns from its August recess making the rounds of the county fairs. The second order of business should be the impeachment of “Joe Biden,” if he hasn’t resigned before Labor Day.

On a different but hugely consequential note, and related to the long-running outlandish mendacity of the US government, an attorney for the Federal Drug Administration told a federal appeals court in Louisiana hearing a lawsuit last week that the agency actually had no policy against the use of ivermectin for Covid-19.
FDA was not regulating the off-label use of drugs These statements are not regulations they have no legal consequences they don’t prohibit doctors from prescribing Ivermectin to treat COVID or for any other purpose. Quite to the contrary there are three instances I’d like to point the court to in the record that show that FDA explicitly recognizes that doctors do have the authority to prescribe ivermectin to treat COVID.”
How true is that? The FDA coerced Blue Cross and other insurers to warn doctors not to prescribe ivermectin for Covid-19, and likewise the Federation of State Medical Boards and National Association of Boards of Pharmacy to not fill doctor’s prescriptions for ivermectin for Covid-19 patients, despite the fact that it was among the best, most effective, and safest treatments for the disease. The FDA put out public service announcements telling Americans not to take ivermectin. The net effect was that state medical boards persecuted doctors for prescribing the drug (e.g., Maine Medical Board’s persecution of Dr. Meryl Nass). Also that hundreds of thousands of Covid-19 patients were denied early treatment, many of whom died.
We all know why the FDA pretended that ivermectin was not allowed to be used. Because it would have removed the Emergency Use Authorization that designated mRNA shots as the sole response to Covid, and it would have obviated the pharma companies’ liability shield for anything that went wrong. Of course, the whole damn thing went wrong and millions are now paying the price. Is this the beginning of the unwind of a colossal crime by those Rich Men North of Richmond against the people of this land?

In April, 2023, Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) Kathie Breault was indicted in the Eastern States District Federal Court for “Conspiracy to Defraud the United States” for giving vaccination cards to people who did not receive Covid-19 vaccinations. Her defense is that the vaccinations were ineffective and harmful, and to administer them would violate the Hippocratic oath of health professionals (First do no harm). Her legal battle against a dishonest and vindictive federal government will require lawyer’s fees that exceed her ability to pay — a reminder that “the process is the punishment.”
Kathie has also been accused of “professional misconduct” by the New York State Licensing Board for prescribing Ivermectin via telehealth visits in July 2021. Many other medical practitioners across the United States have been similarly persecuted and some have lost their licenses to practice. Kathie has been under investigation by New York’s Office of Professional Discipline since March 2022. No decision has been reached as of May 2023.

“Right-wing”? The song identifies the enemy as “Rich men north of Richmond”, talks about shitty wages… gosh, as an ACTUAL “leftist” I like it! PS: The MSM seems intent on identifying the “LEFT”, as concerned with irrelevances as gender confusion, abortion and gun control… not income justice, AKA, the only real political issue, the only one the owners of the MSM want to avoid.
The elite intentionally polluted tradtional economic class interests with diversionary, invented identity “issues”.
I have said countless times, rather than complain, people should at leasy acknowledge some grudging respect about the genius levels of subversion achieved in destroying the West.
I think the song acknowledges that “grudging respect” by calling it out in the first place. Many among the working class amazingly still don’t recognize it. It all goes back to trusting Billy Jeff Clinton in 1992, when he asked us to “trust him” that sending all those jobs overseas would allow all of us to retrain as computer programmers and do-nothing service sector office paper shufflers. It took thirty years, but now we see that it was all a lie for the vast majority and the jobs ain’t coming back anytime soon, if ever.
Dis-
I thought the plan for the service economy of the future was that we all got rich giving each other haircuts and doing each other’s laundry?
… and flipping each other GMO burgers.
Third coast, I think maybe Billy Jeff had services of a more sexual nature in mind. LOL!
The plan was it wouldn’t be us doing the serving. It would be all of our replacements pouring through the wide open border.
Shoot-up and learn to code. Er, shut-up I mean. US main-line message. When will AI learn to pick cucumbers and run 12-3 wire through the stud space on an 1885 Victorian in Poughkeepsie, New York. Joe says it has to be done. We’re gonna electrify and get rid of all those fossil fuel eating systems which took 150 years to install. Good luck widdat when a blizzard blows through and it’s -15F . Electric heat, electric cars, electric, electric, . shit last time the wind blew around here the power was out for 12 hours.
The real money is in yard sales and craft shows.
You forgot bake sales and sewing potholders!
(Just sewed one myself, as a matter of fact. Saved myself $4 at the thrift shop!)
Yeah, when Trump was in office, you used to be able to get hand-sewn potholders at our local thrift store for $1 – that’s Bidenomics for you.
At our local thrift store, potholders are $.25. Pants, shirts, and shoes are $2. Everything else (dishes, cookware, small kitchen appliances, etc., are similarly very cheap. Our thrift store is church-run, by volunteers. There are also a couple of places that provide things for free, and a community center that provides free commodities.
When a friend’s daughter moved in with me a couple of years ago, I made the rounds with her. She got a nice wardrobe for free, plus I bought her some things at the thrift store.
Right now, there is a friend of the family–a single mom with a little girl–who’s living in a homeless shelter, but who will get Section 8 housing in a week or so. I’ve met her a couple of times but don’t really know her. If I can get her to come out here, I’ll hook her up–and take her grocery shopping. She has literally nothing but a mattress to put on the floor.
And running tattoo parlors.
Our local thrift shop has become quite expensive! It might make a good subject for a novel by a writer like Barbara Pym.
It seems like since 2020 there has been an influx of outlanders and semi-professional volunteers who do decidedly upscale pricing these days, verging on the ridiculous. So that the original clientele—people with very little money—can’t really afford to take a chance on an item. Since the plandemic also the changing rooms have been eliminated. Plenty of pandemic panic still in evidence.
Fortunately we also have the Dumptique, where everything is free. I now take my donations over there. Plus there is a clothing exchange in one of the churches.
Another new phenomenon is Brazilians and Jamaicans (now very prevalent) raiding these resources and sending boxes of clothing back home. Whether intended for resale, or free distribution, or just family members I do not know.
My last month’s paycheck was 11000 dollars. All I did was simple 0nline work from comfort at home for 6-8 hours/day that I got from this agency I discovered over the internet and they paid me 45 dollars every hour. Visit for more detail..
“Foreman said, ‘These jobs are going, boys
And they ain’t comin’ back
To your home town.'”
– Bruce Springsteen, 1984
Yep. Some of us got it right from the git go.
Oh yeah, that song where Springsteen pretended to care about the working man. Well, in truth, that was his whole schtick in the 80s. In reality he’s a leftist Dem hack. I have about as much respect for him as I do that other Jewish hack who pretended to be a true American populist, Bob Dylan.
that other Jewish hack – Mick
========
I googled “is Bruce Springsteen Jewish?” and got a very confusing answer that failed to answer the question.
Sleepers awakening.
I think Dylan became a born-again Christian.
Then after that he turned out to be Zionist.
So, a two-fer for Zion!
Springsteen is a Dutch name, but his mother is Italian and he’s got some Irish in there too, so he grew up Catholic.
Steen rhymes with some Jewish names, is all.
Yes, Beryl you are right. I’m only half right about Bruce. He is a long time Dem hack, but not Jewish. My thought that he was goes back a long time from hearing that he changed the spelling of his name from ending in ‘Stein’ to ‘Steen’. I mean it goes way, way back. Before the internet. It turns out he’s very much not Jewish.
I got that Springsteen’s dad is 3/4 Irish and Dutch.
His mother is Italian/Sicilian.
Bruce and his phony twang.
When that Born in the USA album came out I remember all the serious muic fans and musicians mocking it from the cheesy album cover to the jingoistic title to the fake joe sixpack anthems.
Everything about Bruce is phony and produced.
Only the Europeans were fooled. For some strange reason they consider him an authentic genius.
Slick advertising and music videos will do that.
Style over authentic substance
Edge Lord, THANK YOU.
I never liked Springsteen, and got no end of flack from friends. They tried to drag me to a concert, and I wasn’t having it.
I can’t stand John Mellencamp either, they’re in the same vein.
Mary – you’re exactly right on Mellencamp. I fell in love with his music and lyrics – home spun from America’s heartland, farm boy from Seymour, Indiana – did all the Farm Aid concerts.
Two years ago, at our “small town”, intimate amphitheater (voted best of its size in the US), I was looking so forward to seeing him – never had a worse misread in my life.
He was the most arrogant, distant, unappreciative performer I’d ever seen – zero interaction with the crowd.
Friends working at the amphitheater said he was the biggest prick & prima donna ever. Had a tunnel built from his bus to backstage, so no one could even see him coming on stage.
John “Cougar” Mellencamp – maybe the biggest poseur ever.
This summer, Bruce was on the start of his European tour with Obama, Hanks, and Spielberg in the audience when he took a faceplant trying to dance up some stairs on stage.
That certainly was symbolic: Mr. “Murica falling in the spotlight.
Not sure if he was performing “One Step Up” at the time
Wade,
According to Italian friends, Sicilians aren’t Italians. In fact, Italians view Sicilians as the lowest form of human life.
Yes Uncle Bob – coming from a Sicilian – they say we are descended from “North Africans who could swim”.
But we live by the saying, “Il morte prima, il dishonore”. This is why we’ll die before we capitulate to the criminal elite.
Q. Is Bruce Springsteen Jewish?
A. Chat GBT: No, Bruce Springsteen is not Jewish. He was raised in a Roman Catholic household and has identified as a Christian throughout his life. While he has written songs that touch on themes of spirituality and faith, his religious background is not Jewish.
@Edge, that made my night.
Hahahahahaha!
Thank you.
The Good Ship Lifestyle

Yep, I remember that.
I als remember that ignoramus Biden and his Mob using the same technique to sell us on the oil to Green conversion of jobs, which has also not happened.
Luddites are right, increasing technology in the work place creates more poverty, and currently, more homelessness.
Homelessness shows the increasing failure of crony capitalism as the government removes the ability of lower level companies to compete. Unfortunately, the only identified way out of this mess is the installation of increasing socialism in an inane attempt to “fix” the problem.
Government cannot even fix itself as its attempts to right the ship just drives it into the pit faster and faster.
Ned sed: Rent or sell us the machines. Teach us to use them and we’ll make your clothes as we always have.
Fuck you, Ned. No one gets in the way of the rise of the Industry.
Ned and other leaders were hung and their people become de facto slaves in Manchester and other hell holes.
The Capitalists control the Government since the politicians have to crawl to them to get the money to run for office. You’re not seeing the little men behind the curtain, John. Then, yes, their lackeys do what they say once in office. Get your first cause straight. Put the horse before the court, ok?
Who is Ned?
Did I miss something?
Ned Ludd.
Ned Ludd. The original Luddite.
@Islander—Ned Ludd.
OK, thanks.
Put the horse before the court, ok? – Jar
========
Hahaha. This is a set up, right?
I checked to see if anybody else had commented (answered your query) Islander, and seeing nobody had, offered my 2 cents on it. Re-scrolling the thread and the timeline just now it would appear I am a redundant idiot. Some portion of which is true, but that’s what I got for having looked before I leapt into what became a fray. There must be a sacrificial goat and I are one this time. Lol and rue-hoo-hoo.
This song also reminds me of Iris Dement and “Our Town”, which is a tad more feminine and sentimental but still works today.

Yirgach,
Ahhh, sweet little Iris Dement. The “Anthony Anthem” does not speak to me at all, however.
Now THIS, from 1964, does;

Yes, I remember that. Globalization was going to be our savior. Ross Perot made his famous “sucking sound” comment, and he was right. And everyone laughed at him at the time. It has always seemed to me that NAFTA was the door that led us to where we are now.
When the condom fell out of Jessie’s wallet, Tuco laughed at him.
The media laughed at him. There was no social media back then, so when the media spoke, Americans figured it spoke for everyone.
Now we have the ability to communicate horizontally.
Now we know that a whole lot of us don’t go along with their bullshit propaganda.
” It has always seemed to me that NAFTA was the door that led us to where we are now.”
Yes, that.
And other stuff.
The (Third Way) Clinton administration basically laid the groundwork for the mess we are in in a number of ways.
Including massive media concentration, the NAFTA disaster, a huge Wall Street bubble that wiped out a lot of innocent savers, anything proposed by Larry Summers . . . !
A sign on the road. Just like November 22, 1963.
Of course they aren’t, because that might cause the billionaires and Black Rock a few pennies in profit…And with the Fed mainly worried that wages for the working and middle classes might go up, DC is united in support of low wages…for everyone who isn’t on the take..
Now we know that a whole lot of us don’t go along with their bullshit propaganda.
Too bad the deep state elite and their journalist field hands don’t know. Or maybe they do and don’t care. They don’t need to.
They do know. That is why they are cracking down so hard on social media.
It is a multi-sided attack. They try to convince people that social media is dangerous.
They censor people who go against the narrative.
They ban particularly effective communicators.
This all started in 2017, after Trump was elected and our rulers decided that it was because we were allowed to talk freely among ourselves.
That is when they hauled Zuckerberg, Dorsey, et. al., in front of Congress and openly threatened them, unless they agreed to allow agents into their companies to censor.
@Pyrrhus—
They have so much financial power now I tend to think rather than just furthering their Scrooge McDuck hoards, they are going for the “pressive” kinds of power in order to shape destiny according to their whims and for their potential legacies. That’s in any number of prefixes as in suppress, repress, depress, etc.
“Larry the Great” has a certain kind of ring to it when stacked up against Alexander or Richard the Lionhearted, no…?
Oh my gosh, Paula D. Once again, you’ve reminded me of something I had completely forgotten about: those Congressional hearings with Zuckerberg and Dorsey! Yep, we didn’t know at the time what the REAL purpose of that was….
Never, power motivation destroys intelligence. Washington DC is proof positive of that.
Government is incapable of running this country, let alone itself.
‘Government is incapable of running this country, let alone itself.’
I think the Founders didn’t want much government at all. Some entities being necessary for organizing transactions, to include those between the states.
“We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed,…”
,
People, moving out of the ‘state of nature’ create entities for basic organization. A lot of the time it is called ‘government’.
Thomas Jefferson thought the one they created should be refreshed every twenty years or so to keep the ‘Spirit of ’76’ alive. Seems like a good idea.
Republics all through recorded history have had an average lifespan of around 250 years. If the USA is an average country, and there’s no reason to believe it isn’t – then we are quickly approaching our expiration date. What’s happening all around us is a very natural process.
Monarchies last longer and are more stable and efficient. One very good example can be shown in the history of Bavaria. The house of Wittelsbach enjoyed great popular support over the centuries and ruled Bavaria successfully for some 700 years or so. The famed Munich Okotoberfest (the most fun one can have while drunk) started as a giant outdoor celebration and wedding party for King Ludwig I. Everybody had such a good time at the event that the people decided to turn this party into an annual event that’s been happening ever since the early 1800’s. Since the house of Wittelsbach is also famous as brewery owner/operators – the Oktoberfest has been a money maker for the family for a least 2 centuries. The fall of the house of Wittelsbach also signaled the fall of Bavaria which became iinstead the birthplace of Nazism a decade or so later. Instead of hosting parties and good living Bavaria turned into something out of a Hieronymus Bosch painting, a descent into a demonic and nightmare world of self destructive behavior that’s left the world with some terrible problems that haven’t yet been solved. The spirit of Nazism is alive and well, it’s just rebadged itself with new names.
The Communists tried to take over Bavaria. The Freikorps – Ronin, masterless warriors – crushed them. This was one of the lead ups to the rise of the Party.
You’re awfully good at leaving things out that don’t contribute to your narrative. Classic liberal/leftist “thinking”.
When the interviewer summed it up, Mags Thatcher eagerly agreed: Yes, Society doesn’t exist! It’s just individuals with government as the enforcer of contracts between them.
Given human nature, especially as molded by a society given over to greed that doesn’t believe in “society”, the government will have much to do, thereby gaining all power.
The punks negate themselves with these daft arguments. But of course society does exist. Thinking or acting as if doesn’t just allowed the Bankers and Corporations to take it over and use it against the people.
Mitch, will you seriously STFU already with your, “grudging respect” “genius levels” shtick?
What a broken record.
Identity politics is as old as time.
There is no genius here,
Read the intro quote.
Who made it?
A journalist.
Who does he work for?
Himself.
Why?
Because a free press no longer exists.
This is the difference.
So long as the rubes and low-info populace rely upon infotainment and anti-social media for their “news”, people will only receive state approved propaganda.
They have no agency.
The voice of the masses, the little people, has been co-opted, censored, stolen and silenced.
Is this “genius”?
No.
It is what happens when you let the “elite” buy up EVERYTHING
Identity politics IS politics. If people lose their identity as a People, they will identify with ideologies, singers, movie franchises like Star Wars or LOTR – even learning Klingon or Elvish.
My favorite online Nerd is “Just Some Guy”, a brilliant Black who is fluent in Elvish and raves about respect for the Lore against all comers. I agree.
Very true.
Look at Southern California, the land of lifestyle cultures and everyday LARPing:
-Rockabilly/hot-rod
-Pin-up
-Tiki
-Surfer-dude
People dress, act, and live a part. The lifestyles becomes part of them.
This phenomenon exists elsewhere to a lesser degree, particularly the midwest where you find the Parrot Heads, a strange group of escapists who not only convinced themselvesthat Jimmy Buffet music is good, but that flip-flops, a few margaritas, and the annual trip to the sands of the Florida panhandleis the cure to a life of meaningless drudgery.
Kinda like the way they will buy up all the property in Old Town Lahaina, Hawaii?
I wonder how good all the insurance was in that area? That “unprotected tinder box”?
Five years from now there will probably be Zuckerberg mansions, a Ritz Carlton and an 18 hole golf course.
All will be forgotten.
The fire’s devastation on Maui is dreadful everywhere, but its destruction of Lahaina is particularly sad. It is (was) among the few towns in Hawaii with a genuine historic core, as opposed to a made-for-tour-groups “theme” identity.
I’ve stayed twice at the old Pioneer Inn, where with a little imagination you could feel like you were in a Somerset Maugham south seas tale.
It will probably be reconstructed but it will not possess that subtle atmosphere of the past, where you wouldn’t be surprised to encounter a resident ghost or two.
My fingers are crossed for the survival of that huge banyan tree nearby, the largest I’ve ever seen, its above-ground roots nurturing sub-banyans encompassing a park the size of a city block.
What I remember of Lahaina town from the early 00’s was something a bit touristy. Cruise ships off the coast. Overpriced restaurants. A few nightlife establishments.
It’s Maui after all. Tourism is king.
So they want tourists going forward?
Or shall it be another playground for the yachted?
Puts me in mind of downtown Fort Myers, Florida.
The thing with cruise ships is to AVOID them completely.
Check the crew schedules while planning a trip and just don’t go there.
crew-center.com/cruise-ports-schedules
I bet FEMA says they can’t rebuild where they were before, like they told those poor people in California. Good luck with the insurance.
It will be built as a New World Order island, at least that’s what I am reading. It’s been slated to become a model for everyone else.
This guy is talking about how there is evidence showing the area will be the first official “Smart City.”

@MaryQueen—“She”
One sharp cookie who came out of the research and corporate pharma world. Well worth knowing.
Oh sorry, Dave! I knew it was a “she” – since I was reading her witty banter on Mark Crispin Miller’s comment section.
Thanks for the correction. I just discovered her! I can’t wait to read more.
@ mitchellc:
You respect some things that I think most of us would regard as contemptible.
I don’t agree with your “genius levels of subversion” statement. The subversion was on a level of utter idiocy, stupidity. Yet, it seems a majority of “genius’ American citizens bought it lock, stock and barrel.
Right wing is simply a trope used to smear anyone who disagree with the powers that be.
Here in Germany they called an world-renowned Thai microbiologist a Nazi for warning people that the “vaccines” were deadly.
So because the Right Wing is misidentified, it doesn’t exist? So neither does the Left wing? Everybody agrees, then?
You’re just collapsing everything. The Capstone approves. They wish to be all in all.
Nothing you said in your post was in my post.
Classic Jarek.
You said 2+2 and I said 4. I just followed where you led. You don’t like where your thinking goes, eh? Then change it. Don’t get all bitchy.
You get all over my case for allegedly doing what you just did, Jarek.
A nice slice of pie would probably help you mellow out.
What did I just do, Ber? This should be entertaining.
Last week you seemed interested in looking into the word impeachment. Then you lost all interest in favor of censorship. The ordinary mind loves the well trodden paths.
Following along where the conversation led, Jarek. That’s why they call it the flow of conversation.
It’s an exchange.
Nothing you said was in my post.
I am beginning to question your IQ.
Night Owl: So a conversation is just repeating what the other person said? Like the ladies say?
What a dull boy you are.
Beryl: No, jumping tracks completely is something completely different. I thought you were interested – it’s a subject nobody touches.
Again, partly my fault for using the wrong word, I gave you an “out”, a way to get back to the familiar and of course you and Greg took it.
Look at you squirm.
You put words in my mouth.
Your tactics don’t work here, worm.
You need to learn to debate like a man, not shut things down like the ladies do.
I don’t debate claims of what I supposedly said.
Your powers are weak, old man.
These two “wings” are attached to the same big bird that’s shitting all over everyone. Problem is people see the wings but somehow cannot see the bird. This issue goes all the way back to the Jacobins who liked everyone divided into two camps, left and right. And it’s still going on.
NO, is there any recent news on that ridiculous case against Bhakdi (dang, how is that spelled?)?
Is there any protest in Germany?
Night Owl – I briefly saw a headline this morning saying the German government was thinking of outlawing the AfD. Christine Anderson is obviously getting to them.
I saw that, too. I would not put it past them to try, as they fear the AfD more than any other political organization.
The only thing that will stop all this is financial collapse. Not a few low tier banks, but full stop collapse. Until then, “they” will and can do whatever they want. Not one single American will rise up because if we do, things will magically get fixed overnight and you will be on J6 detail eating bad food in slippers and chains, and the politicians urging you to do it will be on the beach. I have lost all respect for governance.
Uvalde?? Where are all the cops at? None of you stood up against your own bullshit.
Doctors…informed consent?? You DID NOT HAVE IT and you lied…all of you lied. Now trying to blame the CDC or the US government.
Media: people in general don’t believe you anymore, any of it. You are all bloggers unwilling to dead name the BS. Why are you not using your platforms to call for rebellion??…the reason why is because you’re all STILL EATING. When that stops, then we can get to business. Until then, this is the norm. Expect lies from all of it. …where is American Jesus? He has been paid His 1/10 and yet He just watches as usual? No middle east melt down? No beast in the temple?…that means no nuclear Armageddon people. All of this is just marketing. It’s why it Never has longer teeth than inflation or closets with skeletons.
One German Green guy who oversees Soros’s efforts to expedite further 3rd world infiltration of Europe is demanding the party members be jailed. He’s the chump in charge of mid-Mediterranean rescues.
Normally, that is my first instinct as a water man, but knowing how this particular game is playing out (according to plan,) I think him less than altruistic on the whole.
How about his contempt for Welfare gimmies? Do you like that too?
The Volk are against both the Elite and their welfare clients/janissaries.
Right – as if the Left doesn’t have positions on abortion and gun control.
rudyspeaks : In today’s highly charged Social and Political environment most anything that is found to be factual and true is criticized by the Left as Right Wing Conspiracy Theory.
Amazing how quickly the roles of the parties reversed. I think it started with Clinton and culminated with Obama. Now Dems are the “big money party” and Republicans represent the working class.
Amen. I have had it with the term “right wing” being used for anything that the current cadre of monsters posing as “the left” disagrees with! I often have to remind people that perfectly *normal* things that both the “right” and the “left” completely agree with are now designated as “right wing extremist”.
The country was destroyed. End.Of.Story.
Criticizing, complaining or crying are a futile waste of time.
As Jim observed about karma, we can also utilize the classic Fortuna’s wheel to describe the coming calamitous times.
It just is – our generations are not special or unique, that this is some kind of weird time in history. It has happened countless times before; it’s just our luck that we happened to be born into this era.
So, deal with it. How you do that is up to you.
Cue music from Carmina Burana – – –
Whenever Mitch posts I hear “Froli” by Luciano Michelini
I once attended a performance of that entire thing by two or three combined community choirs.
What a weird piece of music.
Think how it has stood the test of time.
Calm before the storm, Mitch. Everybody works through the five stages of grief at their own pace, with final stage, acceptance, not necessarily implying passivity.
Someone once said, “living the unexamined life was not worth living”. I am a fly fisherman, so I’ve had a lot of time to examine life. First there is no such thing as psychology, there is only reverse psychology. If you want something done, ask that it not be done, or ask for something else be done. Whenever I wanted my son to do his homework, I would ask him to clean the kitchen or cut the grass. His response predictably was to let me know he had homework that needed immediate attention. The other failure of psychology is in its definition of a healthy adjustment to disappointment or loss. Anger, denial, bargaining, depression, acceptance may be what they teach in some ivory tower, but in life as it is lived the actual sequence is anger, acceptance, bargain, denial, depression. Let my experiences from fly fishing for small mouth bass in Maine (one of the truly clarifying human experiences in life) illustrate what I have learned. The stream of thought when a fish strikes and is lost goes “oh shit (anger), lost him (acceptance), maybe he will strike again if I cast back to the spot (bargaining), he never got the hook (denial). A healthy response to failure is not acceptance, you do not have to define yourself as a loser every time something goes wrong, a “healthy” denial allows you to go on living. Failure to achieve a meaningful denial would unfortunately lead to depression.
jlmartin, A lot of wisdom in your post that I shall take into consideration when things go wrong.
Nice post, JL
Interesting perspective, and maybe it applies to disappointment and loss, but I don’t think it applies to GRIEF, which is the actual context of Kubler-Ross’s five stages. I can’t see DENIAL of a loved one’s death as sane or healthy!
The work of those death and dying “experts” is falling under question, but not fast enough, IMO.
Mitch’s salve is akin to Stockholm syndrome. Powerlessness and cognitive dissonance conquered.
We are in the middle of the Fourth Turning. My generation has to take at least partial responsibility for it, but it was also kind of inevitable. I tell my kids that their generation will be the ones to dig us out of it and rebuild from the rubble. They’re not happy about it, but I think I raised them to deal with it.
Good for you David – that’s what it’s about – raising up tomorrow’s young lions.
David Webb, Maybe I’m a Doom and Gloomer but I’ve come to the conclusion that most everything that man has conjured up to give civilization a better go at it has carried within themselves elements of their own destruction. And now some of that destruction is being deliberately planned to accelerate civilizations downfall.
My son is just 9, but I do the same. It also helps that when it comes to trying to understand how the world works, he sometimes seems many, many years ahead of what a 9-year-old kid should be.
There are moments where you just know he understands, but you don’t know how the fuck that is possible.
Excellent Owl – here’s how that’s possible. You are his idol, his hero – his eyes are always on you. He listens to what you say – more intently than you realize.
You do what a good father does. You live your life and let him watch you. As fathers, when we practice and let our sons watch, there’s rarely any need to preach.
Strong, fearless fathers raise strong, fearless sons. It’s not always easy, but in my opinion, there’s no more noble or worthy cause.
Truth told, I live for my sons and there have been times where I’ve decided to live for them.
Stay after it – stay a good father Owl.
Cheers, Ron.
I think the Washington Mob should call its made-men, Weissguys.
Yeah, that was pretty blatant, appointing him. Which shows they believe nobody gives a hoot.
Nobody gives a hoot. Or
The majority of Americans are too ignorant or stupid enough to even understand what is happening. Early in American history, it was recognized that popular control of the country would only work if the people were educated. Today’s USA is proof positive of that statement as the Liberals have spent seventy years stupidifying the people of America.
I guess as we are a”democracy”, our government is representative of the quality of the people.
That is scary.
Are White adults stupid? IQ 100 on average, many with IQs of 110-150.
“popular control of the country would only work if the people were educated”…precisely! Which is why our 12 year public “education” system is copied from the Prussian system of educating obedient soldiers. The difference between the thinking of Adults and Children is Logic…do public schools even teach it? How about Media Literacy? Or a non-Dtsneyworld version of History? No? It’s as though they want us ” too ignorant or stupid enough to even understand what is happening.”
Didn’t they actually say that popular control would only work if the people were MORAL?
Yep. I often remind people that if people can’t practice a bit of self control, lawfulness, and courtesy on their own there’s thousands of people who just can’t wait to take over and control us instead…
It seems that rudy may know about the work of John Taylor Gatto, a teacher who has written some books exposing the history of abuse and fraud involved in complusory public education. People everywhere are beginning to notice that home schooled kids are better educated and far more mature than are their public schooled peers. Today our public ed is little more than government sponsored child abuse conducted mostly to provide government jobs for people employed in the system. Terminal federal bankruptcy and failure of the US dollar will end this particular type of education, the resources to support it will at some time in the future not be available. Simple as that.
Grinding poverty everywhere will also put an end to our “health-care” system. People will then discover, by trial and error, that the education and healthcare system of the former civilization had been parasitic frauds. Home schooling is entirely possible as is being your own doctor at home – all it takes is a pair of balls – something lacking somehow in males everywhere these days. Women on the other hand seem to be out there trying to grow a pair on their own – and they are all failing as well.
“our public ed is little more than government sponsored child abuse “… HAH! You stole my description, word for word! Couldn’t agree more!
I’ve read John Taylor Gatto’s work on public schools and education. Really rang a bell with me and answered a lot of questions.
I happen to have a copy of his book, or one of them, right here.
Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling.
I have only leafed through it
However, the blurb on the top is “Strong Words from the New York State Teacher of the Year.’ On the back it says, “John Taylor Gatto has just resigned after 26 years of award-winning teaching in Manhattan’s public schools.”
That suggests to me that the problem with our public education is not the idea of it, but the way it is being exploited for propaganda—like virtually every other sphere of our life.
Including churches. Interestingly enough, though, Gatto’s last chapter is “The Congregational Principle.” I won’t summarize I just read about half of it), but he states: “Roger Williams saw as clearly as any person of his time and recognized the inevitable connection between dissonance and quality of life. You can’t have one without the other” (p. 85).
Islander, I think you are correct.
I’m reading a short history of Guatemala. It’s shocking, really the similarities between the US today and the Guatemala of the 19th and first half of the twentieth century. The landowners owned 70% of the country and controlled pretty much all of the country’s wealth. The indigenous indian population was deliberately kept illiterate. This is exactly the same tactic as is being used in the US today. The population, while not completely illiterate in the literal sense, is very much illiterate in terms of being able to assimilate actual accurate, actionable knowledge about the real state of their world, their economy and their polity. This is made possible through the actions of the education system, the media and the government all working together to create a “fog” of misinformation. The indigenous indian population was also kept in a perpetual state of economic serfdom through a calculated system of debt coupled with wages calculated to be too low to allow debt to ever be repaid; the proverbial “company store” system.
It is all very familiar to the neo feudal system being imposed on Americans today.
Good analysis.
Feudalism is what the climate change ignoramuses want, along with their masters the WEF.
You will own nothing, and be happy.
Paraphrasing that statement,
What, me worry?
Capitalism leads to such vast disparities in wealth that Feudalism was inevitable.
Very much like the climate, human society and it’s cultures are self regulating.
So Jarek, given your hatred of “capitalism”, does this mean you’re a hoodie sweating burn out TA at a mid-level college with Mao and Che tapestries hanging from the ceiling and various bongs and roach clips littering your bedroom floor? And, would you agree that there’s a difference between free enterprise as espoused by actual liberals (mostly mislabeled as ” conservatives”), and corporatism (mislabeled as “capitalism” by Marxists) as practiced as private a public partnerships, aka fascism?
I think the people who you feel are ignorant or stupid are working at their job, trying to raise a family and just don’t have the time or energy to get involved with the current problem de jour.
And those problems are never ending.
I agree. But I’ve noticed that some people just have way better instincts than others, and way better common sense. The vaxxx really revealed the differences. Pretty much EVERYONE I know is overwhelmed with work and family, and doesn’t have or make the time to research everything. But SOME people instinctively said NO to the vaxxx for themselves and their kids. Last year, I asked one of these women (a non-college-educated clerk at a local gas distributor) why she decided not to get the vaxxx. She said, “Well, they developed that thing so dang fast. How could they know whether it was safe and really worked? I figured, give it a few years to see if it’s legit.”
“Weissguys” That’s pretty good!
Thank you!
Yes, I like that a lot. Nice work, Penelope.
They believe nobody can do a damn thing about it. It’s like giving the middle finger to Congress and everyone else who wants an honest investigation into the last decade that enriched the Bidens. And it will burn up time arguing about it and maybe the hope is something else will take its place in the headlines.
The entire Biden administration could care less if they’re called out on one lie after another. They just tell a different one — or the same one over and over. Biden knows he won’t be impeached since the Democrats control the Senate and Garland is praying for a spot to open up on the Court.
Nobody CAN do a damn thing about it. Obama got rid of pretty much everyone who could have. What we’re left with now is a murder of apparatchiks who work like moles in their own way undermining and destroying everything from within, so long as they get their house on the lake and get to live la dolce vita.
That’s because nobody does give a hoot. All of this is met only with a disinterested yawn, when the lemmings meet it at all.
Getting there. Impeach Garland? As in remove him? Or does it just mean reprimand him? Censure, or slap on the wrist?
The Weis guys are not going to remove one of their own. Trump? Oh they’ll remove him. Kennedy? Hell yeah if he doesn’t tow the line. And he’s a towing it so far.
Study the word. As Confucius said, rectification of names is the first step in reform. That adds clarity to the American, Freedom begins between the ears. You will find that, indeed it used to mean put on trial and if found guilty, remove.
The Elite don’t like that so they changed it. They didn’t like Jury Nullification either, so poof, gone.
The struggle for the outcome of destiny is writ large in this case. If the “opposition” does not respond with “it’s a matter of life and death for the Republic’ judicial purpose, it means the Owners are on a (the homestretch) true roll and its acceleration will continue to its known end of total repression and domination.
Mr Anthony’s ballad is a significant moment in all of this.
Calling Sam Ervin, Peter Rodino, and the other ghosts or sons of principle, be there any left in the Halls of the Bought And Paid For.
This time it’s for real, not a mere grudge match involving the shifting of the chairs at the table.
I’m too old for a revolution and too young to keep living like this. I guess I will just have to flip a coin.
LOL! Ain’t that the truth!
how old r u
We’ve all got to man up (or if we’re female, woman up). I’m 66 and my gut reaction is “I never wanted to be here for the era when Satan doesn’t just work behind the scenes but is right there out in the open, BARING HIS FANGS and sneering in our faces. I did not sign up for this!”
But then I look at my 65-year-old sister, who took up gardening only a couple years ago (and now grows her own vegetables and herbs), tries to keep herself so healthy that she can be independent of the corrupt medical establishment, is teaching history classes to homeschooled kids, is helping train adults in getting more self-sufficient, is building and nurturing a sub-community of like-minded people within her local community… in other words, doing the things that Jim Kunstler, Hrvoje Mrcic and their podcast guests encourage us to do — getting ready practically and spiritually for the coming collapse.
If she can do it, any of us can do it. The key, as I have learned from her, is coolly, rationally discerning priorities, then working on them in a focused, steady, disciplined way. Actually, the real key is she stays close to God, prays throughout the day, and tries as best she can to hear and follow HIS leading.
Never, ever, ever give up. Never, ever, ever comply or submit. Live life as fully, joyfully, constructively and intentionally as you can.
Obviously, your baby sister is the product of your tutelage. You’re probably just too humble to take any credit, Amirite?
You’re too old to rock n roll and yet still too young to die? Where’s the middle ground?
No mention of Maui, the latest government debacle in a Blue state. The blame game has already started, no sirens sounded, according to witnesses, Biden refused to comment on the crisis.
Over and over, government shows its incompetence to handle any form of crisis.
In the meantime, the border situation gets worse with videos showing the control the cartels have with the migrants in Mexico. Drug mules are getting more daring and more common.
JHK prophecy of government collapse is getting closer and closer.
i’m pretty sure the MIC/FedGov/Blob started that fire. if they say anything it will be reminder of the importance to send more money to stop Putin in Ukraine (?#@#$#@$?)
This 8/8 eyewitness most definitely agrees with you:
httpX://wwwDOTbitchuteDOTcom/video/EFD49StBbOVu/
She appears to be very sincere.
I think she is sincere.
But . . . for me, not solid enough.
There is a forensic arborist named Robert –I think it is Brame, who did a show with . . . can’t recall name, on the CA “wildfires.’ (cf. “boiling oceans”).
Now in this video his last name is not given and his face is blurred out.
Perhaps he will turn his attention to the Maui fire.
This vid was done in July.
Check out also the text and images.
httpX://action4canada.com/empower-hour-with-forensic-arborist-robert-global-fires-global-control/
Thanks for posting the link ‘action4canada’ regarding the fires and the glaring anomalies if one makes a small effort to scratch the surface.
I encourage a greater effort and deeper scratching.
I had viewed it when it was made available. I tell people about it, but lost the link.
You might want to read this Substack article:

Even if you believe it was natural and due to land mismanagement and failures in government stewardship, why didn’t all the geniuses who own a lot of property there call out the deficiencies before this happened?
Oprah was happy to tell her followers the Obama was The One, so she obviously knows everything, and don’t get me started on Bezos.
Yep. You can already hear the arsonist pleading in court: “The climate change made me do it!”
You win the Interwebz.
“JHK prophecy of government collapse is getting closer and closer.” ~ JAZ
JAZ – for collapse, I’d use past tense. Collapse in not an event, it’s a process – too many people waiting for an “event. The country is collapsing – already well into the process of collapse.
Walk a mile, turn around and take a look at it – you’ll see what I mean.
Ron …
“Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that who cares? He’s a mile away and you’ve got his shoes!”
Billy Connolly
Yes. A lot of people are living the dread but have yet to willingly identify it for what it truly is. Those of us who have seen it and have not flinched are talking, communing its truth right here and right now.
Exactly, Ron. That’s why so many people look stupid when they try and pick a date. It’s a spectrum not a single point. Fourth Turning, meet Law of Entropy.
Yes, but there will be a moment for the history books.
It has not happened yet, but all signs point to it coming.
That said, what will it mean? So few people seem to realize how big this is and what is at stake.
Per Martin Armstrong (his Socrates computer/program), the rubber hits the road in 2032.
Islander – I know his program is sophisticated, but are you sure it didn’t transpose the numbers? Feels sooner.
I did not transpose the numbers.
Or, perhaps that was a joke that I took literally??
Yep, a joke, but not on you, on Socrates. Maybe 2023 vs. 2032? Nine years seems like a long time before we go full-on medieval. Gut instinct says sooner.
Somewhere (more than once I am sure) Armstrong shows with one of his visuals (with colored bars for different categories and dates) that basically all of the bad bars line up in 2032.
I think that is how Socrates works.
To me one of the weird things about the Eco 2100 (linked by Night Owl down-thread) horror “documentary” (really a horror fantasy film) is how many of the “solutions” that the farsighted pepole of “now” are (1) high tech/energy-intensive and (2) fail. Even i the technological fantasy pipe dreams of our “leaders” and “planners” and “engineers” are a bust.
So, the obvious conclusion is the the high-tech medicine concocted for the masses to take did not work. So then, it is back to basics: Lockdown and total control.
One idea that is not mentioned is to stop all wars (the biggest polluters); stop poisoning Nature for profit; let nature take its course; and adapt as best we can in the various local circumstances that will develop.
The whole film—an animated comic book punctuated by “serious” fear porn from experts— looks to me like a brief for Green Fascism and global control.
I’m surprised they haven’t blamed it on white supremacy. Wasn’t that the greatest threat to the nation just awhile back? It’s interesting this comes on the heels of the fires in Canada, all blamed on climate change, of course.
Bobby Jr. says it’s mostly from neglect of the land. Fine.
Okay, climate, climate change was a little bit of a factor. Not fine.
Now he’s going to bring the climate nuts and the rest of us together in perfect harmony, like on that Coke commercial from the 70s, the era he seems to be stuck in.
This was the good part:
“Everyone can get behind land + water healing whatever their views on climate change.”
This cancelled everything that went before:
“As President I am going to unite climate activists and skeptics in an environmental renaissance the likes of which we have not seen since the 1960s.”
https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1690038716285526017
He has insulted my intelligence here. I am not a skeptic when it comes to the climate nuttery. I have no wish to be united with the climate activists.
Come to think of it, I have no wish to be united with any activists at all. Activist is a word that needs the definition changed, because what it really means is a self-righteous loon who can’t stop bothering other people.
Beryl,
Back in the day we called activists what they really are: shit-disturbers.
I have no wish to be united with any activists at all. – BofO
=============
As I suggested recently, Jesus was a political activist in his day.
Jesus was The Christ. He was here to fulfill a prophecy.
I have no wish to be associated with any people who think they are Jesus.
Jesus was The Christ. He was here to fulfill a prophecy. – BofO
==========
Jesus was here because his mother gave birth to him after getting pregnant the old fashion way.
Jesus was not a political activist. That’s absurd.
I saw a video that was taken from a helicopter that flew along the coastline. So you could see the town and the waterfront, and the fields and hills beyond.
It looked to me as though there was quite a clear line—like, a border line formed by a street— between the grey-black devastation in the foreground and the yellow-green rolling fields in the background.
But if the grass was that dry, surely it would have caught fire.
“Come to think of it, I have no wish to be united with any activists at all. Activist is a word that needs the definition changed, because what it really means is a self-righteous loon who can’t stop bothering other people.”
Oh, so you mean like GOP-dominated State Legislatures?
They’re going to interweave climate change, white supremacy, “healthcare” and “safety” into one big ball of totalitarian hell for the entire planet.
So I think they have already mostly dropped blaming everything on racists – that was just a means to an end.
Same with the transgenders.
It is about to get interesting.
The big, big goal is reduction of human population by 90 percent or more, facilitating the complete control of the smaller number of humans who remain.
Climate change, caused by “overpopulation,” will be used to impose mass MANDATED contraception, abortion, and sterilization. (That is coming SOON, mark my words.) Bill Gates used to talk about wanting to put sterilants in the water supply. The “Covid” “vaccines” — which are killing people of all ages and, significantly, sending rates of infertility, miscarriages, and stillbirths skyrocketing — are a big step in the depopulation program.
The Evil Ones already have control over most people’s minds via the information space that we swim in and breathe, like fish in water. News media, entertainment, pop culture, education, etc., are the water we swim in, and it shapes our view of reality.
Given the incompetence of government, one might ask, ‘what the hell are we paying taxes for?’
So that the government can pay 60% of their bills.
Biden presides over a largely lawless nation with a crumbling infrastructure, despite the vaunted bipartisan infrastructure bill, and a collapsing economy. This will be his “legacy.”
Govt. collapse oh no.
What’s gonna charge up the EBT cards? Who’s gonna pay for sex change operations for members of the US Navy & US Army? That sh#t is expensive.
They’ll probably continue those, but stop things like allowing the poor to eat.
Once some issue or another stops the 18 wheelers from operating, most everyone living in urban/suburban suburban areas will die if some way isn’t found to bring in emergency food. They will die either fighting over food or because of starvation and malnuitrition. The rest of the world will be watching and adjusting their beliefs and plans accordingly.
Let me offer an explanation of the ongoing border fiasco/trauma. Since the Biden’s, especially China/cartel Joe never do anything without grift or bribes, you can reasonably assume the cartels have paid them handsomely to turn over control of our Southern border. Joe’s removing our military contingent recently sort of proves that point. Since the cartels are making billions $ from drugs and human trafficking, 20-30d million $ would have been reasonable. With our justice system totally corrupted, no chance of being punished for their treason. And, wait for Joe to issue an executive order for illegals to vote, after spending many billions for their care and comfort. Along with antifa and blm, the millions of military aged men form the new storm troopers for the Demoncraps. IMHO!
and also pretty sure Merrick “Undertaker” Garland knows he can’t and it doesn’t matter what he “can’t” do – he will doggone do it anyway. Stop me.
Consider it might be the climate change zealots trying to energize their ranks.
What better place to show off than Maui.
True that. Talk about making a splash.
It is IMAGES, shown over and over and over on TV, that traumatize the public and make them go along with the cabal’s plans.
Think planes going into the Twin Towers. Over and over and over. As a result of those images seared deeply into people’s brains, people went along willingly — even eagerly — with the Patriot Act and the national-security surveillance state.
Think people falling down dead in the streets of Wuhan, and hospital wards in Northern Italy with dozens of beds lined up with patients on ventilators. And they showed those images over and over and over. The horror and trauma this caused in people made them willing to go along with everything that followed — labeling their fellow citizens as “essential” or “non-essential,” banning church services, closing schools and businesses, bankrupting people, physically and psychologically harming their own children by putting masks over their mouths and noses, and finally, lining up for a totally novel and unproven genetic injection. All for a disease with a 99.97% survival rate. All because of those damn images broadcast non-stop in the early spring of 2020.
Neuroscientists say that pictures can be powerful, but that MOVING images — video feeds — are uniquely powerful in that MOVING images, such as TV and movies (or now, YouTube and such), go DIRECTLY into our subconscious, bypassing our conscious filters of reason, logic, comparison-making, and discernment. (I first read about this in Jerry Mander’s classic book “Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television.”)
The Evil Ones know this and use this. The current project is fires on Maui. A woman I know who watches CNN is a perfect example of the effectiveness of those images being shown all day, every day. Maui is all she can talk about. Though she was not a climate change True Believer before, I expect she will be one before too long, if she has not already become one, thanks to those 24/7 images from Maui.
Leftardica’s moral code boils down to this: If white males are for it, I have to be against it. It runs no deeper than this. If white males like this song, I hate it. If white males like Sound of Freedom, I hate it. If white males are against abortion, then I am for abortion. If white males call out Jeffrey Epstein for running a child sexploitation racket, then I am in favor of molesting children. This is the corner the left has painted itself into. Unfortunately, the right is not much smarter. The good news is that normal people (which is the vast majority of us) know who is full of shit. We don ‘t need moderators or censors to tell us. We inherently know. It is getting increasingly more difficult to stay quiet about it
Liz – why is there even a thought about staying quiet about it? I don’t understand.
This I do understand though – getting loud about it will not change anything – not one thing. There’s a long list of people that need to get throat-punched.
It can even be done quietly.
Ron …
“The only way to overcome evil is to let it run itself to a standstill because it does not find the resistance it is looking for. Resistance merely creates further evil and adds fuel to the flames. But when evil meets no opposition and encounters no obstacle but only patient endurance, its sting is drawn, and at last it meets an opponent which is more than its match.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
‘The Cost Of Discipleship’
And so they hung him exactly one month before the surrender. And I do consider him a very stand-up guy
So, did he give up his own life Christ-like following the above quotes, even as the Red Armies and the Western Allies were giving up their own lives for their own defined purposes of sacrificing all if necessary? Just as were the Germans and their allies being concurrent with their “beliefs” of being ‘good’ in the face of their foes’ designated evils? Then again, were they all—us and them ‘just following orders’ while caught up in the vast forces of ‘good vs evil’ as shaped and defined by their nations’ leaders?
His above chosen (enlightened?) theocratic notions–were they a win or a loss to himself? To humanity?
Elevating Bonhoeffer to sainthood based on the excerpt above seems illogical, even to and by himself for his previous stands in that he had already chosen to resist and like The White Rose Society—they were not morally or theologically conflicted—were condemned by what they defined as Evil.
I have yet to see Bonhoeffer’s theocratic musings above play out in any way effective or as an enduring truism. In my mind they are just that: musings. Inspired, yes. Constituting reality? I’ll need examples, beyond faith. I lack that, admittedly, if not sadly as well.
For the “Good Guys” won WW II, and by their actions over the years proved just as susceptible, or were already in numbers bearing those same seeds of capacity for evil. Same as today, largely. Note how it is generic in psychopaths, already there in the hard wiring, pre-propagated and growing (this is nature at work) within themselves. Even as the war was all, their personal chessboards retained their primacy.
Those directing the slaughter had their own agendas even before the spark of war had been ignited—by their own hands. Allen Dulles’s actions in WW II, and pre and post-WW II prove quite illuminating in how some to greatest effect, lead from the shadows, forcing history to their will. “The Good Guys…”
And if we still residually define ourselves, our country, our leadership as the moral victors from that largest human slaughter of all time, then just look around and see what we have (inevitably) become. Had we followed Bonhoeffer’s advice, just where do you believe we would actually be, other than here?
Woe unto Sisyphus! Woe unto Prometheus! Woe unto us.
Yet the spark and the flickering flame keep on burning within each of us—to varying degree.
Now ain’t that a thing?
Russia not doing anything about Ukraine? They would have loved that. Persecuting the Russians there until they fled en masse back to Russia, cursing Putin with every breath they took. His popularity would plummet, empowering the Opposition and opening up the possibility of a successful color revolution.
Meanwhile Ukraine would be turned into a Masterpiece of the New World Order.
You left one thing out – if white males are against genital mutilation then the left favors sterilizing their children.
It is the craziest thing I’ve ever witnessed.
Nickel – it’s a self-solving problem.
In a test tube. But in the real world there are many outside factors than mitigate against a recovery and return to normal.
You could have a lot of fun with that mentality. Think of what you could get them to be FOR if white males were against it?
I’ve seen the Left dust off their “state’s rights” argument on occasion when it suits them and they were insistent on every citizen in Ukraine having a semi-automatic weapon. Their mendacity and lack of scruples is breathtaking. The elites are infinitely-malleable shape-shifters.
“States’ rights” are OK if it means states are “laboratories for democracy,” like California with its emissions stnadards and now EV madness.
Back when we were still at “emissions standards” I thought this “laboratory” idea was great. I gthought there should be emissions standards—and I still do, actually.
Now that I look at CA and what it has become, or at least its cities and its impractical green madness, I am less enthusiastic about that version of states rights.
Except, well, I guess in a way the “laboratory” idea has kind of worked!
Just not in the way leftist states’ rights advocates expected.
Now, states as laboratories for rolling back woke ideologies in public institutions is . . . uh-oh, populism!!
I was late, only a few years ago seeing most of “Idiocracy.” What we bear witness to today illustrates how the future can be so much closer at hand than we ever thought possible, let alone plausible.
Our Adversary’s incorporating mass psychological manipulation combined with its inexhaustible funding stream makes for a very daunting foe.
Most everything we are exposed to enmasse is a psy-op, requiring negotiating a perilous path on a cliffside, we must not deviate too far from the trail we know and understand or we end up in a cul de sac from which it is impossible to turn around. Leaving only the Abyss as the way out.
Yes, it is crazy, but then again, it’s made-up handwringing for the righteous few who “know”, right?
The majority of the Leftwing are White????
Why is that?
Liz, if memory serves me, a voting block called suburban housewife, mostly White, voted for Biden in 2020.
To me, voting for the Democrats for Whites is like playing Russian Roulette.
Biden wasn’t rude and crude, like Trump, and the media associated Trump with the social unrest the democrat party and its governors across the nation allowed to occur, so Biden was the obvious “peace and safety” choice. Women will always vote emotionally. That’s why abortion was such as successful political ticket for Protasawicz in Wisconsin.
Everybody votes emotionally. Some of us just don’t know what are emotions are.
“Our”.
Every woman votes emotionally. Men, at their best have values and they vote based on those.
Jarek you dope. Where do our values come from?
Jarek is a dope.
But I guess he is OUR dope!
From women, Ber? Lol. Morality is masculine. Women love to get away with shit. They refuse categorically to take responsibility for anything, using men as their scape goats for everything.
Projection is their modus operandi, their first go to, always.
Thank you, Islander. Not for nothing are you our Leader against Mary and her horde of minions.
When Jar is behind you, that should signify how low you’ve sunk.
Congrats, Islander!
The absurdity of the Queen’s comment is delightfully obvious!
Social unrest is some young single mother objecting to her little kindergartner being compelled to sit thru Tranny Reading Hour, where a hairy, 350 lbs. Tranny Freak From Hell prances around waving his Johnson in the little one’s face.
That’s the social unrest Garland, the FBI & their elitist lefty allies are determined to crush.
Because to them, it IS social unrest, as they have convinced themselves that they are in the majority. I mean, after all, the president hung a pride flag from the white house, for heaven’s sake, right? So by extension, anyone NOT on board with all that is an evil minority and no doubt on an FBI hate group list.
The Pride Flag is the real flag of the United States.
Well, it’s the flag hanging off many US embassies, along with a giant poster of George Floyd wearing a halo on his head.
I think the whole thing is just a moral panic created by the right as part of their whole anti-woke culture war BS.
The only drag shows I’ve seen have been late at night in bars and I wouldn’t even consider those to be “explicit.” It’s a person in a great outfit walking around lip synching a fun song. Kids can look up much more explicit stuff on their phones all day long.
Conservatives know they can get votes by whipping up a bunch of outrage and fear among their voters so they pick out these things that are not even real problems and turn them into crises (viz MTG et al).
Any groups of people who are not straight white cis Christians are fair game for them. I don’t believe any of their crap. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say no one is putting on “explicit, inappropriate” drag shows for kids, and no one ever has.
Rooftop Observer – what color is he sky in your world?
*the* – but you understand my question, right?
@ tuco22:
I’d say it’s more that everyone votes according to what they perceive to be in their interests. (Actually, people BELIEVE those things that they perceive to be in their best interests.) Voting decisions are really pretty pragmatic. Most liberals are government employees/retirees, or on the tit in some other way. As far as they’re concerned, the more power the government has, the better.
If women tend to vote in favor of abortion or in favor of other policies that (supposedly) benefit women, the voting choice is pragmatic, rather than emotional–however much the argument in favor of certain policies is couched in emotional terms.
“Housewife” is a term for a woman who stays at home and tends the children while the husband works to pay their bills.
It is beyond stupid to believe that they are a voting bloc of any size.
And it has been like that for 40 years.
The “housewife” thing was just a blip in the middle part of the 20th century, really.
The idea that a woman’s place is in the home came and went.
And no, it isn’t a bunch of feminists who think this. Talk to working mothers of any demographic.
The idea that marriage and motherhood is an agreement to 20 plus years of house arrest is over.
Kiss that shit goodbye.
People still don’t understand how much of that was a creation of Madison Avenue and television.
A woman’s place is in the home. So is a man’s. You have embraced Corporate Culture and “work”. What an er-ror (emphasis on the 2nd syllable). Some priests talk like this, lol.
Ollie is out front with the dogs picking his gui-tar. You’re in the kitch dishing up up the medicine. What’s not to love?
Beryl,
“House arrest”?
What a way to dismiss women who choose to be at home raising their own children instead of turning them over to government indoctrinators, who choose to grow a garden and prepare healthy meals from scratch instead of feeding their loved ones processed junk, who choose to be the managers of their own households, instead of being the servants of some corporate manager all day….
Have you ever read Wendell Berry? Everyone should read Wendell Berry. I bet Kunstler has. I have met Wendell’s wife, Tanya Berry, his partner and help mate. She was an at-home mom when their kids were young, and she helps her husband on their farm every day. She is a smart, confident woman, the furthest thing from a dishrag or a doormat. If you suggested that she was under “house arrest,” she’d probably just laugh. Or perhaps just pity you.
Yeah, but ponder this too. Trump got them in 2016, not the hardcore Dems, but a majority of women, iirc. That had to be Hillary Aversion Syndrome at work to some large extent.
And I applaud them for it. The actual results of the 2020 sweepstakes are forever it seems, clouded. My opinion, of course.
I think a lot of women despised her for sticking with Bill after his peccadilloes in the oval office were proved true.
And some significant number are sharp cookies, as evidenced in this community.
The big club at the top of the heap will welcome anyone who’ll add to their power and work for them to stay in power. And they’ll shield them from the law but sometimes that breaks down. Sam BF got thrown in jail last week (finally) b/c the arrogant twit thought he could tamper with the jury and get away with it. Epstein got too well known so had to be disposed of and low IQ Andrew thrown under the bus instead of high IQ Americans.
The Democrats are only going to be able to pretend this is politically motivated — the “persecution of poor, recovering addict Hunter — for so long. The Blue Dogs will never admit reality but evidence is piling up.
The evidence is piling up, but the Democrats continue to ignore it, as pointed out by the Babylon Bee, and illustrated by our resident shitlibs, who show up every week to lambast our host for his deviance from their doctrines.
Does anyone think the deep state will arrange an unfortunate accident for Hunter? Will he, because of his crack use and the people with he associates to get it, become a liability to the state? Or has he already?
He’s been a liability for a long time — like his entire life after puberty. They’re going to fight on is my guess and the MSM will keep it as quiet as possible. There’s nothing on the national news about this. It’s all about the weather, the disaster in Maui and the brawl on the dock.
‘Dad, we have a problem. I left my laptop at the repair shop. And Joe looks at him and says, what’s on it, son?’”
And Hunter looks back and he says, ‘every single crime that you’ve ever committed, dad.’
There’s more to this family drama than we know. Hunter and Joe are in a prisoners dilemma where each could turn the other in or cooperate to show a united front. It looks to me like Hunter maybe on an unconscious level wants to destroy his father. I remember a picture of him and his brother in the hospital after the car accident and Joe there with reporters and photographers exploiting this terrible tragedy.
Hunter already IS an unfortunate accident.
This attitude an outgrowth of New England fallen Puritanism.
Which attitude are you referring to?
Conservatism is Liberalism with the breaks on. Tucker Carlson’s gleeful support of Gay Marriage now that it is no longer controversial in a perfect example of this.
Even Hillary and Obama used to be against it, and thus more conservative than Tucker is now. Maybe he was always for it too?
With Tucker, you can never know. He will say what is convenient and/or profitable, especially to fit with the narrative his base holds as ‘truth’ – such as the evidence in the Dominion Voting Systems case. He’s an empty suit.
A couple possibilities:
No one in charge will do anything
No one in charge can do anything
There’s no one in charge

When the Chinese come, there are going to be a lot of people surprised to find themselves up against a wall waiting to be shot.
Instead of in the seat at the table they were promised.
Thus the constant push by the Chinese, and not just Demoncraps, to disarm Americans. Thank God for the approximately 60 million hunters and their firearm proficiency. If even a third or half refuses to lie down, or bow down, we may have a chance. Just remember, before shooting Chinese or other invaders, take time to shoot the leftists behind you. They are the biggest danger as they have proven.
They’re pretty much stalled in the advance of their agenda by the 2nd amendment, and so they’ve been working hard over the past at least 20+ years to convince Americans that they don’t need a 2nd amendment and that guns are actually a liability to them. And with each “mass shooting” they gain more adherents.
Yes jgalt – to my leftist neighbors, which are very few fortunately, I tell them I can no longer hang around them – that there are plenty of people who want to shoot people like them – and I don’t want to get shot by accident. Makes neighborhood interactions short & sweet.
“Has a cover-up ever been more blatant?” ~ JHK
For over a year they have been pushing and shoving, and no one has had a “you crossed the line Jake” moment. They need action so that they can take action.
Well, Russiagate was a blatant frame-up.
In order to pull-off the coup, martial law will need to be declared.
In order to declare martial law, they will need justification.
“Joe Biden” is not hiding his criminal conduct because they need justification to take action.
Highly trained cartel soldiers are operating in American forests.
And their grows are fouling our pristine lands.
And China has its fully built out network here now.
And Afghan terrorists. (65 acknowledged and whereabouts unknown…)
And here we are with tyrants in charge and sabotaging America in every way that matters.
“Anybody wondering why there is actually no justice in America these days…”
Because the majority don’t care.
That’s actually true. They just don’t care. About anything other than their instincts and appetites. I think it’s a kind of spiritual pall that’s settled on the country like a blanket, like dulling the herd just before destruction.
Chalk it up as being due to the
successful downregulation of 82% of the American populations’ VMAT2 gene.
[Google “Search” won’t fly regarding *this*]
Tell us more then.
God gene
It’s responsible for fanatics and followers, so the theory posits.
They were kinder, they called it predisposition to the “spiritual”
From Google search:
“What does the VMAT2 gene do?
VMAT2 encodes a transporter protein that imports several monoamine neurotransmitters into vesicles in the brain (reviewed in Zheng et al., 2006). Thus, an alteration in the transporter could potentially affect the levels of multiple types of neurotransmitters, resulting in altered brain function.”
The FDA didn’t hesitate rolling out Pfizer’s Paxlovid (a protease inhibitor) while they continued to disparage Ivermectin (a protease inhibitor, and more). Of course, a new patented drug makes a whole lot more money than a generic one.
I wonder if our state health departments that have finally seen the light about early treatment realize that Paxlovid wasn’t even tested on vaccinated people. (See the trial exclusion criteria at clinicaltrials.gov.)
Were there ever any numbers published on how many took that poison?
John K,
What do you see as implied there? That they know that vaxxed people already have one foot in the grave, so it’s no use trying anything on them? Or something else? Can you clarify?
Reading the YouTuber comments to the Oliver Anthony song brings a tear to the eye.
“I’m an electrician fighting like hell to keep the bills paid and this man is singing what my soul has been screaming. All the love to you, brother.”
“I work 98 hours a week, 3 month hitches in the oilfield and this brought me to tears. I’m 26 and I’m 3000 miles from home out here in the North Dakota cold just trying to make a better life for my family. Really needed this.”
“Swedish steel worker here, this speaks to us all. God bless the honest working class, we’re the backbone of the west and they see us as worthless.”
Ollie doesn’t want to work harder than he has to. That’s the difference. The Yankee bastards (of all lands) may complain, but they want lots of stuff so they’ll keep doing it. He just wants to sing outside his trailer and read the good book to his dogs.
Watch his song Virginia, with the camera focused on the white dog. Why not the black one? Is this a dog whistle?
Is he clever like Jason Aldean who didn’t show any Black faces in his video?
We need such cleverness! The Vikings were reknowned for their cunning, no brutish barbarians they!
I remember a summer afternoon in Athens back in the 00s, everyone enjoying their wine and espressos under the canopies. All calm, laid back, at least seemingly. Less than a week later, back in the USA, Athens had exploded in turmoil. Things can happen as suddenly as a biting dog.
I met a man who was at Kent State on May 4 1970.
He said that the protestors and the guard seemed to be having fun, until they weren’t.
Everything was jake until the idiots starting throwing cinder blocks at armed men.
Don’t ever do that unless you’re in blue, urban America, circa early 2020’s.
Damn. That means the FBI snitch/agent provocateur who fired the
first “Let’s get this show on the road” shot likely ruined what could have been another Woodstock moment.
It seems the Sarajevo Olympics were a similar story. All diverse and international with kumbaya in the cafes and then wham-genocide.

But check who started RS. Theres at least one book about Jan.
As someone who knew him told me ‘before he came out he was closeted and liked to be put into bondage by a woman’.
No, I read an article someplace that talks about the rednecks’ contempt for the fat white people amongst their ranks who like nothing better than to get on the government dole through disability.
I notice the MSM is hard at work trying to squelch any glimmer of racial harmony, such as the Montgomery brawl.
They want to make it into something other than what we all just saw
A fight over a boat docking has to be turned into a racial grievance even though it had nothing to do with it. Opportunity to drive the wedge in must always be exploited to the full but the rising crime in cities and the decamping of businesses from crime zones is barely mentioned. The honest people left behind are then in a food desert and then MSM turns around and acts like it’s b/c these neighborhoods are primarily minority.
MSNBC is having a field day with that incident.
My thought–how many murders happens that day in US?
Yeah, they did the same thing years ago in a city in which I used to live, where they shoplifted the local grocery store and K-Mart out of existence, and then cried racism when they left.
What did we see, Beryl? I saw Whites behaving badly against a Black official. What did you see?
The Blacks took his side, naturally. As did most of White America, but for different reasons. Some because the Whites were wrong. Some because they think Blacks are always right. The Blacks because they think Whites are always wrong.
I saw much the same as this, which I posted the other day:
“It’s the unity in the re-enactment, for me.”
“we rebuild as a country, starting here”
“Proof of concept that the American experiment can work”.
https://twitter.com/naima/status/1688624945998274560?s=20
I’m not sure how that will post, X has been funny lately.
Most of what I saw, Jarek, was the reality of race relations in this country, as in every disagreement between a white man and a black man isn’t race-based, and that black people don’t act like the select examples we see in the media.
In other words, this shows that Whites are no better than Blacks. Uh huh!
Blacks see it as proof of how terrible Whites are. See what we have to put up with!
You’re as wrong as wrong can be.
Jarek, I can’t be wrong about what it means to me. I’m me.
Flying might mean a lot to you, but if you step out a window you will still fall. The Laws of Nature are objectively true, no matter the whims of wimmin.
malthuss, the SPLC plant likes to hyper-focus on race.
Just as the left likes to hyper-focus on “white supremacy” and “MAGA’
Our own dear President said (after a big dose of something) that white supremacy was the biggest problem America faced. I guess that’s why the man who could barely walk got shot dead after a stupid comment on social media. One less worry about! But since there’s plenty of poor whites along with poor minorities, starving them out with inflation should do the trick.
The lemmings cared about that as much as they cared when all those Branch Davidians were murdered.
That was horrible and a cover up that blamed the victims completely.
Those children asked for it!
They chose to be burned alive by living with David Koresh.
They had to incinerate the children to save them from harm.
So, who are “Merrick” Garfinkel’s handlers?
Well, everyone is Building Back Better, so, IMO, it is not hard to guess.
Read into how he prosecuted the Oklahoma City Bombing from DC.
The German who got away.
How McVeigh did not appeal, was executed, and his body “cremated”
Tim insisted he acted alone.
Whatever happened to the Terry Nichols interview ?
Yeah, that whole thing was just a travesty. They couldn’t kill him fast enough, and even walking two-legged vermin like Bill Clinton will get a grave. Does anyone still believe that that Rider truck caused all that damage to the building? Or that 19 middle eastern men, one of whom flunked Cessna pilot training, could fly a 737 from a manual? And do the feats they did?
A truck was driven into a building from outside, so forever after the general public are locked out of our federal buildings, and we have to go through a security screening to enter.
That makes sense.
It was parked outside, not driven into.
There were explosives planted in that building, just like in the WTC.
It was parked outside the front of the building. And afterward, when ATF, etc, were there, there was a witness who said they were looking for additional bombs in the building, and then you never saw that again. A retired rear admiral who was a demolitions expert said that the truck itself couldn’t have caused all that damage. So, look upon that, as well as WTC bombing in 1993, as an early “sacrifice” for political power.
Yes, you are correct Paula.
So police will scream at us at the airport if we leave our car sitting at the curb out front long enough to help an elderly relative get inside the airport.
Because people drive around with their elderly parents in cars full of explosives.
Paula, the truck was outside, but was supposed to be inside. No matter, the charges were already set/planted.
Find the interview with the female fed worker who had previously testified before congress, unrelated, for her branch, she’s not a kook, was respected, she saw the charges planted.
There is no way the Rider truck did it. The building was wired with explosives just like 9/11.
It was a small rental truck. No, a bigger truck. No, it had nitrogen-rich fertilizer. No, it had conventional explosives. The more they kept changing the story, the more ridiculous it became.
It was a newly designed (for that application) thermobaric bomb – a two-part munition – ignitions about 5-10 seconds apart.
The first ignition creates and disperses a highly concentrated vapor cloud of highly explosive material – usually aluminum or magnesium.
The second ignition sets off the vapor cloud, causing an unusually powerful blast wave – sometimes called a vacuum bomb.
There were seismic records from Colorado on 4/19/95 that picked up the two separate explosions of different magnitudes, 7 seconds apart.
Of course, they’ve long since been scrubbed. I used to have copies but can’t find them now.
Now more perfected, these same type weapons were used on apartment buildings in Ukraine. Look at the pictures vs. the Murrah Building – exact same type destruction.
The buildings aren’t collapsed, half the structures are “pulled off” by the explosion’s vacuum – blown out, not in.
The greatest act of “domestic terrorism” ever. Yeah, until 9/11/01, then until the COVID S-Protein bioweapon.
Problem is the real domestic terrorists are still at it. More to come, I promise you, as they promise us.
Spot on, Ron.
I read an entire expose on the whole thing, maybe 2 years ago?
Made me feel as physically ill as 9/11 and the other psyops did, like the Boston Marathon ‘bombing,’ the Vegas shooting and a few others.
But what hurt the most is that at the time of the OK City bombing, I believed the official story 100%. Same with the attack on the Branch Davidians, and hell, the Jones Town massacre.
Mary – not to worry. They say enlightenment comes after six decades – you’ve been well on your way. Almost there:-)
Does anyone still believe that that Rider truck caused all that damage to the building? – tuco

Yep. And does anyone still believe that Mary was a virgin? Yep. The mind boggles.

“Honest Officer, the quotation marks must have just fallen off. Poorly-made Chinese glue probably.” – the ‘Stick
Yeah who believes that story!
They had to cross Israel to partake in a census? Seriously?
That’s maybe what prego before marriage Mary’s mom had to tell her rummy and cribbage group over breakfast at the delicatessen:
“Goils, you’re never going to believe this! Mary’s census paperwork got lost in the mail and she decided to go to Bethlehem to resubmit it herself. No, she’s not going alone, that nice boy she’s dating, the one with the VERY successful furniture factory, Joseph, well, he’s going with her., should take them about nine months, yep, exactly 9 months”
McVeigh was a MKULTRA subject. Might not have been literally called that when his mind was fucked like the UnaBomber’s.
Anyway, that’s why he didn’t appeal. In fact, he was rather docile through the whole process. The mindfuckery worked very well on him.
Did they know, when they planted the charges, that they were planting them in the vicinity of the daycare? Of course they did. Why do you think they planted them there?
Yes, he was, and there is speculation that he wasn’t really put to death. Many said it looked faked, who witnessed his execution.
Classic US Government Deep State operation, murdering 168 of their own people – killing (at least) two birds with one stone:
1) Proving ground for newly designed thermobaric weapons (used on the Murrah Building).
2) Drum up the “Something must be done” chorus against, and shut down the Montana Freeman (you know, those “militia types” like McVeigh).
Evil (continues to) flourish when good men (continue to) do nothing.
At the time, dumb Boomer women were petrified that angry, white militia men were going to emerge from the north woods of Michigan and take over the country. My mother was one of them.
When Judge Roy Bean and a fast draw sheriff managed to restore order to a town, the townspeople thanked them and then removed them from office.
White Americans are appalled by having to see the violence that has enabled them to have peace and prosperity. Hypocrites to the bone. Women are among the worst now, but they couldn’t vote back then so it was and is many of the men as well.
We were told that women were terrified.
I don’t know that their date of birth had anything to do with it.
My mother wasn’t terrified of any such thing, and neither was I.
@ Beryl of Oyl:
Same here. I’m a boomer woman, and I wasn’t petrified and angry, and I didn’t know anyone who was.
As for Jarek’s example of “Judge Roy Bean and a fast-draw sheriff” restoring order, only to be removed from office afterward, you have to consider what was likely really going on in such a situation.
I’m not familiar with this particular historical case, but I’ve lived in a small town where there was a lot of lawless behavior. Most of it was on the part of public officials or those connected with them. This was almost invariably because said public officials were scheming for personal gain. Some other people who were involved had little or no reason to think that they’d make money on these crooked deals, but were in favor of them because they wanted to curry favor with the more powerful people. Either that, or they just got a malicious enjoyment out of harming the interests of innocent people.
No, we didn’t get a new sheriff in town. For the most part, these schemes collapsed with the real estate bust of 2008. (They were mostly real estate scams.) There was one instance in which an egregious loophole, which had allowed this sort of thing to go on, was closed. Was everyone happy to see law and order restored on this particular point? Obviously not. Too many people were in on too many scams.
So my assumption that the reason why Judge Bean and his buddy met with ingratitude when they restored law and order was because there were a LOT of people in that town who anticipated profiting from the lack thereof.
That’s the way that stuff works. While there were doubtless some women (and men) who feigned a fit of the vapors when their scam was shut off, vapors had nothing to do with it.

I notice that phrase “what you need to know” in the MSM all the time.
That should tip people off to who is behind it, because where do you hear “need to know” in real life? In the government, and perhaps from your parents. Authority figures, and self-styled authority figures.
It saves reading the articles, because often in the articles you find information that contradicts what’s in the headlines.
It spoon-feed those who believe they are “getting” the news in short bursts from their iPhones.
Throughout the entire covid scam, you can see the agencies and individuals laying the groundwork for their plausible deniability.
Fauci saying he never told anyone to lock down, for instance.
Randi Weingarten had the nerve to say in a Congressional hearing that she hadn’t approved lockdowns! She just said she wanted everyone “to be safe.” Astonishing nerve.
Love to be on a plane with her during takeoff at about a 1000 foot altitude, when the pilot comes on the PA and says, “Folks, we’re struggling to gain lift, we need to jettison 200 pounds”.
I’ll help. Of all the villains in the covid gallery, she’s of particular interest. The kids in Chicago were out of the classroom for two full years even after the mayor and groups of parents begged for them to be reopened. Instead of listening to them and doing what was best for the kids she took a vote and the union said no, they didn’t feel safe. This was long after the data was in that the virus was dangerous for the chronically ill and elderly. The teachers should have been ordered back to work or told to quit with no benefits.
She was dictating policy that mirrored exactly what the Chicoms were doing, to the head of the CDC.
Nobody asked her how it was any of her business, or what made her think she was qualified. Or who she was really working for.
Has any word been more abused and distorted and exploited than “safe”?
We had “safe spaces.”
We had “safe and effective.”
We have “Keep you safe.”
“Safe” should be . . . safe.
But “safe” as now become an antennae-twitcher. “What do they really mean?”
Safe, as in “Safe macht frei”?
I think what they mean is “we’ll make sure you’re safe from thinking for yourself.”
Agree, SW, except I would say “we’ll make sure that we’re safe from you thinking for yourself.”
What is the key difference between today and the Viet Nam era? We have the same corrupt executive and legislative branches voting for, funding and enriching themselves via war funding and corporate kick-backs.
The military is of course all in since this is actually what they do; like tennis players or golfers, this is their hobby/game. So, in no way are they going to oppose or challenge the very system that provides them with a open career path and a shower of financial rewards.
What of the judiciary? They too enjoyed a tremendous, open ended mandate starting in the 50s by essentially legislating from the bench. They are fully invested in the system, had are as thoroughly corrupt as the other branches.

OK, we still haven’t identified any core differences over the last 60 years of elective wars. Back then, we had the USSR, now Russia, so even the force : counter-force dynamic existed as well.
Let’s think this through: if there aren’t any significant differences, why does everyone seem to believe “this time is diferent”? Well, at the risk of having people sighing, ‘here we go again’, let’s go over it once again.
Resource depletion, population overshoot and environmental degradation. These are the key differentiators, and why this time is well and truly different.
These factors not only alter the dyamic from a domestic angle, but also entirely change the foreign aspect considering powerful state actors challenging our present standing and global hegemony via the $dollar.
This is what has changed. It we weren’t under this level of stress from physical factors outside of our control, we would most likely, just like the 60s, keep going as before, accompanied by loud wails of despair while the screws just kept getting tighter.
But this time things have changed, and since there is no available domestic corrective measure available via any branch, military or state, change is going to be applied from external sources.
Know that, those who understand what is occurring might have a small measure of advantage, but in actuality, it really is going to be a free for all.

Wow! 37? Dude got around.
I wouldn’t hold that against him, E. He was spreading it around which wasn’t unusual back in the day. Besides, he’s not running to be a Saint. He probably shouldn’t have kept a record of his activities in the form of a diary tho. As far as his environmental activism goes, for RFK jr it was mostly about clean water and protecting LI Sound. I think that’s a worthy cause.
Thankee. Well said.
It’s a matter of looking around and establishing what’s what and conducting oneself successfully within the framework of the larger and dominating reality. So what if it’s not all fun and games that only lead to further illusions. And if permanent, delusions.
“Rich Men North of Richmond” appearing on the back (flip) side of “Try that in a Small Town.” You’d sell 10 million copies.
“Try That” is stylistically too far apart to be on a split single, IMO.
Also, parts of the solo in that song are so similar to “Beat It” that I could imagine some kind of copyright infringement being filed.
Owl, funny you say that. I don’t know anything about music, but parts of ‘Rich Men’ sounded a little like Darius Rucker’s ‘Wagon Wheel.’
That’s the way the (music) world goes round. A regular stealer’s wheel. 200 chimps and Shakespeare’s collected works not so much. Divine spark creativity not so much either. Rarer than hen’s teeth. More-so it’s chemistry mebbe..?
Or: “That’s the Way the World Goes Round.” by John Prine

nice..
I just meant that Rich Men is a pretty raw, stripped down song written by a salt-of-the-earth guy on his porch in Farmville. Some of the lyrics are like poetry and delivered in a way the move from almost conversational to verging on tears. It’s genius stuff.
Small Town is much more in line with modern country music. It’s not a bad song, but it is very polished/almost overproduced by comparison, and the lyrics are simple and the delivery kind of synthetic. Almost feels focus-grouped.
Owl – great points – you have a promising future in music reviews. Seriously, great in-depth comments.
Thanks, Ron.
I always enjoy your comments, too.
Where did you get the depopulation WEF stuff you posted in the last thread?
The lyrics might be inspiring to the powerless populist Right, but is the music hokey-pokey lame? More ammunition delivered to the snobbish cultural elite to further paint Whites as dipshits.
How about brevity and clarity being the soul of whatever’s seriously on one’s mind? Especially oppressively on one’s mind…
@ workingclasshero:
I suppose you must have some reason for considering either the song or the musician to be displaying dipshittery. Pray tell us what that is.
“These things listed above are…what? Things that Rolling Stone is in favor of? Pet causes? High taxes and obese people on welfare? “.
I’m speechless.
Several years ago RS was taken over by Jay Penske, Penske Media Group. Jay’s pa is none other than Roger Penske, race car driver of the 60s and founder of an auto parts empire in the same time frame. Da’ is worth over $3 billion, so scion Jay was “well on the way to the races” with a full race cam and custom headers when the flag dropped.
I did not know that, Dave, thank you. I have heard of Penske, but didn’t know there was a race driver involved.
By the way, someone on fb was complaining about the post office, so I copied and pasted your DeJoy explanation.
And then yesterday I got an anniversary card from my sister which took a week to get here, so I copied and pasted it again in my thank you to her.
Your efforts are not wasted here.
Paula – inform your sister, for more speedy delivery.
Personal mail can be mailed First Class, with a 3-cent stamp or it’s equivalent – three 1-cent stamps.
Has to be addressed as such:
Return address: Care of Non-Domestic
Joseph Smith
123 Noah Way
Atlanta, Georgia
Envelope Address: Care of Non-Domestic
Mary Brown
1234 Main Street
Dallas, Texas
“Care of Non-Domestic” means you do not reside in the Corporation of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA – mail then goes State-to-State.
Federal mail in the Corporation assumes travel from sender to DC and then sent on to addressee. That’s why it costs so darn much – even though that’s probably not the routing.
No abbreviations – names & States spelled out – no federal zip code required. Usually a 2-3 day delivery – First Class.
Ron
Just to clarify: do you mean first-class postage PLUS a 3-cent stamp?
Nope Heartlander – just a 3-cent stamp. Try it, send a cross-country personal letter.
An educated Postmaster, seeing how it is addressed – will let ‘er rip – First Class. I’ve had mail NC to FL in one day. The joke between the sender and myself was that it sat in the pilot’s lap.
Some will say, “Oh no, it needs more postage”. Tell them to do their homework and that will resolve their misunderstanding of the postal law’s – “loophole”, if you will.
There is a prohibition for commercial mail. As I understand it, it has to be citizen to citizen – no other entities.
No other *fictitious* entities – which all corporations are – regardless of the Citizen’s United ruling, granting corporations personhood.
“A top upstate Dem official and previous vocal supporter of housing migrants there now says he will refuse additional resettlements — after a second local alleged sex assault involving an asylum-seeker.
The frustrated pol, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz, added that the National Guard will start providing security at the three hotels-turned-migrant shelters in Cheektowaga in Erie within a day or two, after he learned the facilities are not safe, according to a weekend report.
Poloncarz said the county’s “trust and good faith has been betrayed,” including potentially by the New York City-hired firm paid hundreds of millions of dollars to oversee the relocation of migrants from the Big Apple to other areas.
The county exec said the company, DocGo, “may have interfered” with a Cheektowaga police investigation into the second assault case, which involves a hotel-worker victim.
“I demanded [New York City] Mayor [Eric] Adams pause all further transportation of asylum-seekers to our community until such time as we can resolve all security issues,” Poloncarz said during a Saturday press conference, according to Spectrum News.”

This eejit had previously referred to these people as “new Americans”, and now he is bellyaching that they were supposed to be “vetted” by the feds but they were not.
Just how do you “vet” a bunch of strangers from all over the place, you retard?
Also, how do men from Venezuela get all the way to the United States, and then suddenly become needy?
Excellent point Beryl! How indeed. And plenty are bringing families with them. Could the word possibly have gone out that they’ll be housed and fed free?! All they have to say is the drug cartels were meanies and they heard there are no cartels in America?!
The ways liberals have had to twist and turn logic to encourage illegals to swim the Rio Grande has now backfired on them. It’s hilarious to watch NYC mayor be all pissed off b/c of buses arriving from Texas.
“… the National Guard will start providing security” ~ Beryl of Oyl
Given all the nonsense, one wonders if there is more to this than meets the eye. Conditioning?
If I were going to declare martial law, it would sure be prudent to have a couple test runs, to work-out the glitches and know that the National Guard would follow my command.
So as not to be a major undertaking, it would also be helpful to already have them active in key areas throughout the nation.
Does anyone have the authority to pull the plug on “Joe Biden”? What action would be needed?
The scope of this thing is mind-boggling to the uninitiated. The same thing is going on all over Europe and the UK while the people respond to it the same way as us: slack-jawed and helpless.
It’s overused but so very true, cognitive dissonance is one of the prime weapons deployed on the field of the Battle of the 21st Century.
I really hope most of you “get it” insofar as what is coming at us, let alone what is already upon us. Massive but mostly silent wheels inexorably grinding in our direction. Destination on the ticket stub reads Dystopia.
Bobby Jr. is getting a little better. He’s trying to teach people a history lesson about his party and the US border.
A strong border is compassion, not bigotry. It is conscience, not xenophobia. It used to be that Democrats understood this.
https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1691098139951091712?s=20
Geezus.
RFK Jr. is a lifelong leftist democrat. He is a global warming fraud enthusiast. He opposes petroleum, coal, nuclear, hydro, and wind (at least it it might block his view from Hyenas Port).
RFK Jr.: “I’m a constitutional absolutist. We can argue about whether the Second Amendment was intended to protect guns.” Uh… OK?
He’s teamed up with Morgan and Morgan (’nuff said), supports “indigenous rights” (I was born in Ohio, but am I “indigenous” and deserving of any rights?)
He was expelled from two boarding schools for drug use before being arrested in 1970 for drug posession. His second wife hanged herself after finding his personal journal describing his sexual encounters with 37 women. (Well, DNA runs deep, I guess)
One thing you can’t accuse him of is ever having a real job.
OK, he got the Covid/vaccine fraud right. wow. Support this guy at your (our) own risk.
Not unusual for a fatherless young man, especially one who has lost two relatives bearing his last name to violence, to act out in a self-destructive manner.
He grew up and out of it.
@buckeyeman – RFK Jr. is an old-school democrat who has stated that environmental causes have been co-opted by the authoritarian left who want to control the world.
RFK Jr. is not anti nuclear – he says he would be in favor of it if it could be made safe. Big if, I know. Where has he ever said he is anti-hydro? or anti-wind? I can’t find those quotes anywhere.
His quote you mangled was “I’m a constitutional absolutist – you keep your guns.” Check the teamKennedy website for video of him saying exactly that.
RFK Jr. says he says he is a free-market capitalist and that’s not what we have in the US. We have crony-capitalism which is welfare for the rich. He’s anti government subsidy which angers a lot of people, Elon Musk among them.
He has been employed as a lawyer for decades, contrary to your assertion that he’s never held a job. He made $7.8 million as a lawyer last year.
For you to pretend to know why his wife hung herself is disingenuous at best. Repeating establishment talking points about a genuine electoral threat to a sitting president is…well, predictable.
He has stated that he was hired by Trump to run the Covid “vaccine” program and fired by Trump/replaced by Fauci after Trump accepted a check from Pfizer. More crony capitalism or bald-faced bribery?
Overcoming addiction will teach a person a lot about life and a lot about God. RFK Jr knows things many people never learn.
To me, best of all is that unlike Trump, he really is opposed to the deep state. The deep state murdered his dad and his uncle. He has an axe to grind and grinding it would be of the utmost benefit to the average citizen of the US. That makes him a populist or, as the brain-dead right would say, a “commie lib.”
Anybody who wants to clean up the yard and stop people from profiting from polluting is against the Pave the Wilderness Society that made us so great.
RFK Jr has stated that he has so many skeletons in his closet that if he could get them to vote for him, he would be king.
The man is not perfect. Listen to what he says about changing the fact that corporations are running the country and tell me he’s not correct.
Thanks for that.
RFK’s second wife appears to have been a disturbed young woman who had an obsession with becoming part of the Kennedy family. Marriages are pretty compolicated, and to misquote Tolstoy, “unhappy marriages are all different.”
Let’s not use a dead woman to thrash Kennedy—really, it brings her down, in memory, more than it does him, and certainly is very hurtful for the woman’s children.
Personally, I think that Biden’s first wife killed herself, her daughter, and probably meant to kill the two boys.
If the media doesn’t want you to know something, you don’t know it.
Kennedy’s wife killed herself long after their marriage ended, is how I heard it.
Q: Do you know why my last wife divorced me?
A: No, you don’t. You have no way of knowing what happened
between two people in a marriage.
I could tell you and then you would have one side of the story.
You could talk to one of her friends and then you could repeat gossip. In RFK Jr’s case, you could read some celebrity scandal sheet and think you know something you have no clue about. Bottom line is you don’t know.
RFK Jr. has endured more family tragedy than most people. He has been strong enough to persevere and he emerged with his integrity intact and a love for his country that drives him to want to turn it around.
The higher his poll numbers, the more women you can expect to “come forward” and claim he boinked/assaulted/raped them. They never said anything until now because….?
Bucky illustrates the other side of the takeover of the environmental movement by the Establishment and their “turn the environment over to Wall Street” climate change agenda.
I think that we should carry on with the original environmental concerns, clean air, clean water, saving species, protecting the oceans, making sure we and our children are not poisoned, etc.
That is what RFK, Jr. has spent his life working on.
But Bucky boy has gone along with the climate change agenda as much as any Greta acolyte, just from the other side. That leads to him to falsehoods like claiming that Kennedy’s interest in the environment is limited to climate change.
He literally claimed that RFK, Jr. has never worked a day in his life!
Unfuckingbelievable.
Yeah, Paula D, seriously UFB.
RFK Jr has made a living litigating and winning more lawsuits against corporate polluters than anyone we can name. He has stated “Show me a subsidy and I will show you a polluter.”
He has also stated that he can be successful dismantling the alphabet agencies working to assert authoritarian control over you and I.
buckeye needs to make the connection between corporations and government in this nation. Mussolini said “Fascism – such an ugly word. It’s not fascism, it’s corporatism.” If buckeye has already made that connection, then he’s simply spewing corporate – pronounced fascist – talking points.
“I think that we should carry on with the original environmental concerns, clean air, clean water, saving species, protecting the oceans, making sure we and our children are not poisoned, etc.”
Absolutely.
It is important to make these distinctions between genuine environmental impacts and their causes and the climate change “explain-all” buzzword for the dumbed-down.
It depends on how you define the word. Work, to me is hard, hot, heavy lifting, pick it up, put it down hundreds of times a day. Digging a ditch with a shovel. Slaving long hours in a loud, filthy, dangerous factory. Working in the fields on the farm etc. White collar jobs such as lawyers, corporate types and such may be stressful, but to say they work hard is bullshit. Anyone who doesn’t respect and appreciate what the real working class does in this country can go to hell. Very few of our political so called “leaders” have ever done an honest days work in their fucking life.
“Anyone who doesn’t respect and appreciate what the real working class does in this country can go to hell. ”
Pefect example of a straw man argument.
No one said a word about not respecting the working class.

“He was expelled from two boarding schools for drug use before being arrested in 1970 for drug posession. His second wife hanged herself after finding his personal journal describing his sexual encounters with 37 women. (Well, DNA runs deep, I guess)”
Bucky,
Unless you have seen him in the shower, there’s no telling how deep his DNA runs….
Just sayin ‘
Everyone here ignored my post about him appointing the CEO of Zionist America as a consultant.
Mary,
If you expect the worst from a politician, you will be rarely disappointed….
True dat.
There’s nothing wrong with xenophobia. It’s natural, a nation builder.
Xenophillia is the disease, the unnatural, the destroyer.
You’d secure the border and then allow them all in legally. And then expect that to change anything.
Who, Me, Jarek?
I’d throw EVERYBODY out who didn’t cross every t and dot every i.
“Dreamers”, those married to Americans who never bothered with the paperwork, all of them.
I wouldn’t allow “asylum seekers” who didn’t follow the rules to step one foot into the country, and anyone who entered illegally is banned forever.
As I said, legal is a magic word to you, Trump, Bush Jr, etc.
Bullshit.
No, I said nothing about who I would allow in. I said who I would throw out.
Ok, valid. So who would you let in and how many?
I’d end chain immigration, and I’d end diversity visas.
IDK about the rest, I certainly wouldn’t have the asylum-seeking and refugee fraud s continuing.
Just slow down our destruction in other words. Over the edge at a staid 20 mph not a roaring 120.
You said nothing about form where – as if all immigrants are created equal. Big fail as I surmised. But thanks for confirming.
The correct answer would have been Zero. No more immigrants at all.
Wasn’t Durham illegal as Special Counsel also?
Yes. But double-dipping is a sacred tradition in high levels of government.
Difference vs distinction?
Was Durham was investigating the government itself, and Clinton Inc and minions secondary parties to it? Was that the distinction?
I don’t know, it’s all one newsflash same-old-same-old day after day after day. Wearing us down via repetition of the crimes and the news.
I’ll say it again, we live in a coordinated panoply of psy-ops, it’s what they feed us, inject us with, drum into our heads daily via electronica of all stripage.
Covert but coordinated. And incessant.
And I thought Kafka’s “The Trial” was as bad as it could get. It shows to go you (me) how little I knew and how much I’ve learned from swimming out of the main channel and observing things from a remote back eddy.
(I kinda like it out here, think I’ll ride out the rest of it as able from here in the as far away as possible.)
Durham should have been arrested for obstruction of justice.
Muhammed Ali popularized the “Rope-a-Dope”. You lay back into the ropes, cover up, and let your opponent exhaust himself punching your forearms. But it doesn’t work if your opponent beats you til you can’t stand up and then does a victory lap around the ring.
Kuntsler now opines that some no-name bearded guy with an unintelligible song mimics the view from Mount Pisgah and points the way to the promised land.
That is NOT what is going on now. We are NOT “winning”. We are being crushed. Donald Trump PROMISED us that he would “drain the swamp (Deep State)” yet he did nothing of the sort. For four long years we waited for the idiot to stop listening to his brat daughter and commie son in law but it was all in vain.
Even now we have pundits like Kunstler marveling at how poorly the left is covering up its (many) crimes.
“Scott, you just don’t get it, do you?” (Dr. Evil)
The sad reality is that they are not trying to cover up at all. We’ve sunk so deep that they WANT us to know that they are criminals and THERE’S NOT A DAMN THING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT!
I don’t know where it goes from here but for Gawd’s sake, please stop pretending that we are “winning”.
…Yeah…what Buckey said….
“Kuntsler now opines that some no-name bearded guy with an unintelligible song mimics the view from Mount Pisgah and points the way to the promised land.”
I think that we can all agree that that is a strawman.

If you never hit back, your arms will get so bruised you won’t even be able to hold them up much less hit back.
Ali could always hit back. And at his best he didn’t fight like that anyway.
Ali asked Joe Louis how they would have fared in the ring. Louis said, I used to have a bum of the month tour. Ali: You sayin’ I would have been on the tough. Louis: You would have been on the tour.
My Dad, an aficionado and boxer himself, said Louis was the greatest of all time.
Tyson for me.
Short
all black, no satin
southpaw in a right-hander’s stance
No softening up
Straight to the deathblow
Tyson for me too – a beast, a pitbull. Sometimes he’d get so excitable in a flurry of punches, he’d spring off the canvas with both feet.
Watch a slow motion right – the torque starts in his feet, transfers to his hips, up through his waist, into his back & shoulders and finally into his arm and fist. The mechanics are incredible. Brutal, raw punching power.
Watch some highlights – as the referees were giving instructions, a lot of his opponents would avoid direct eye contact with him.
It was instinctive – like how people are told never to make direct eye contact with a bad dog, because instinctively he sees that as a challenge and will immediately go after you – same with Iron Mike.
Love him. Check out a video of him in a Vegas nightclub I believe, recently, when a black guy walks in waving a gun.
Tyson stays seated, doesn’t blink an eye and tells him to put the gun down. Fearless.
I think your dad was correct, Jarek. Joe Louis was a force of nature. Ali was a master self-promoter.
One of my favorite youchoob fights is the first Frazier/Ali bout – the look of satisfaction of Frazier’s face when he’s walking back to his corner while Ali lies prone and helpless behind him is priceless.
Joe Frazier beat the living hell out of Ali. People don’t remember that…
Spot on.

=============
I would like to point out the tiniest error in our host’s essay today which, if he has gotten out of bed on the wrong side, could cause me to be banned.
The comma after Dr should be a period.
I must confess, though, that I have to look at the keyboard to make sure which key makes a comma and which a period.
I’ve yet to figure out the point of your work in correcting grammar. My grammar was rather poor until I found myself in Catholic school in the early 60’s. At times when I found myself with too much spare time decades ago in the early days of the ‘net – I’d both troll as well as participate in online forums. There was always in every group a fundamentalist Christian or two that weren’t really interested in the topic at hand, instead they were there to “witness”. The answer to all problems was always the same, read your Bible and be saved! Nothing else much matters.
Somehow you come across to me as a guy with only a few things on his mind, grammar and a disabled relative. Not much else seems to be going on in your world. But that’s ok by me, I can brag about my garden and talk doom and gloom over and over – and you can correct my spelling and grammar.
That admonition to read your bible and be saved still is true. God doesn’t follow the world’s rules.
That admonition to read your bible and be saved still is true. – tuco
===========
I have a Bible given to me by my mother on Christmas in 1966. It is a Catholic Bible called the Confraternity Version (God knows how many other versions of the Bible exist. Which one contains the one and only absolutely true story?)
One day about 10 years ago I said to myself “with all the books I’ve read in my life I really SHOULD read the Bible.” And so I set out to read every freakin’ word of it. I got to page 693 of the Old Testament which ran 1016 pages. And then I stopped and never got to the New Testament. I couldn’t take it any more. The subject of circumcision must have come up hundreds of times in those first 693 pages and yet there was never a mention of why God (or Moses or somebody) was so obsessed with circumcision. I kept expecting that it would be explained as for certain health reasons… like it is not a good idea to have head-cheese accumulate under your foreskin. But nope, not a single word.
Another thing that came up a thousand times was “holocaust.” This was the ritual slaughtering of animals. I cannot recall any explanation why God would be pleased by the killing of animals. It certainly makes no sense to me.
I couldn’t take it anymore and stopped reading. Maybe someday I’ll return to finish what I set out to accomplish because I’m nothing if not a very persistent person. But then again, probably not. I’ll probably croak first.
Q – FWIW, my younger brother, an MD, says that all medical procedures are, or should be, risk-based decisions.
He says that the circumcision procedure – in addition to being billable – is higher risk than anything one would face by being uncircumcised.
There’s your answer – its billable – maybe they got a few extra shekels.
The subject of circumcision – Q.
=============
An obituary headline in today’s NYT read as follows: “Philip L. Sherman, 67, a Maestro of a Mohel for 45 Years, Is Dead”
A Mohel, also spelled and pronounced Moil, is a person who performs a Jewish religious rite known as a bris or circumcision. Mr. Sherman is said to have performed this rite 26,000 times with a record 11 in a single day.
The obit contained lots of interesting tidbits about Sherman’s life but to my amazement, and as if to confirm what I wrote about circumcision in the Old Testament of the Bible, this article had not one word of explanation WHY cutting off the foreskins of baby boys got started and became so important beginning thousands of years ago.
A bris is performed on the 8th day of a boy’s life during daylight hours (why daylight? who knows?). Jewish parents invite many guests to the bris and it becomes like a super-duper birthday party.
And STILL, no explanation of the purpose.
Perhaps one of our resident religious fanatics can chime in on this question.
And you are both reasons why I feel welcome here – we are a collection of nuts. Many of us are eccentrics, walking off the beaten path.
Q’s schoolmaster’s role makes CFN more fun.
I did some garden work as a boy but not since. However, I love produce and foresee food scarcity in those dark clouds coming this way. Gardening stories are relevant and educational.

Q is nuts about things he is obsessed about: Peter, Religion (hates it), Grammar.
But he is eminently sane about illegal immigrants. The solution is not to let them in. This is a corollary to his approach to individual finances: Don’t spend more than you make.
Don’t spend more than you make. – Jar
===========
This is so true and so obvious when you think about it.
I wrote a rather lengthy comment about the first finance lecture I attended in Rutgers grad school. It was night school at Rutgers in Newark, NJ (it took 4 years and 66 credits to earn my MBA). The lecture was three hours and was delivered by Prof Dier. He was terrific. You got your full three hours’ monies worth with Prof Dier.* The conclusion of the lecture was “To accumulate wealth you must spend less than you earn.”
* He would enter the classroom precisely at 6pm, usually wearing a sport coat with oval leather elbow patches (classic old timey professor). He would drape this sport coat over the back of a chair and begin his lecture while simultaneously writing on the blackboard. He would conclude at 9pm sharp. Ah, those were the days… he’s probably been pushing daisies for decades by now.
He’s not correcting grammar here. He is correcting a TYPO!
What a friggin’ waste of time.
Well, at least he got the correction right this time.
I kinda enjoy Q’s obsession with grammar. It annoys me when I’m reading something written by supposedly professional writers who seem to have no idea how to use punctuation in a sentence. In some instances the punctuation is as important as the words themselves and the message can be misunderstood due to the total lack of, or erroneous use of puntuation. Now I’ll get called out for my first sentence.
He is correcting a TYPO! – Islander
=========
When someone types “then” where they should have typed “than” is that a typo? No, it is not. A typo is hitting an incorrect letter adjacent (up, down, or next to) to the intended correct letter.
When Jim hit the comma rather than the period after Mr, THAT was a true typo.
You forgot a comma and a period.
Also not typos.

Somehow you come across to me as a guy with only a few things on his mind, grammar and a disabled relative. – Woodchuck

Yeah Woodchuck, that’s pretty much it at the moment but back in the day, before blogs, computers, and cell phones my life outside of work was all about shooting pool (thus my screen name).
Rarely do I write about politics. I hate politics, politicians, and political pundits. Rather, I write about stuff in my own life like the 3000 mile motorcycle trip I took five years ago up into Canada and westward to Duluth. The 9th anniversary of my brother Armand’s sudden death is coming up next month and I’ll probably have something to say about that as I have on the 8 previous anniversaries.
BTW, Peter is not doing well. In fact he’s driving us fucking crazy. We are doing everything in our power to get him into a nursing home but it’s not easy.
My longest motorcycle trip was around 1500 miles, but that was done back in the mid 70’s, traffic wasn’t what it is today. I rode as far south as I could along the east coast and stopped in Key West. I was sickened when I went back to Key West decades later for another stay – the place had been ruined and wasn’t the same island it was in the 70’s. Then I rode through the Everglades and up the west coast of Fla and wandered around in the panhandle areas for a while. I don’t street ride much anymore and mostly ride on dirt. Street riding will be safe and more enjoyable again during the long emergency – then there will be little auto traffic and nobody speeding because of fuel rationing. With the new small displacement fuel injected bikes getting 150+ mpg I forsee motorcycling becoming very popular because it will be all people will be able to afford after the shit hits the fan.
Q.
I must confess that, with the glasses I am currently wearing, I cannot tell a comma from a period…and I cannot see the keyboard clearly.
What keyboard? I don’t see nuttin’.
” No Mas” eh? No More, No More!!
That was the Duran/ Leonard fight at the Superdome in ’80. Site of the GB II Katrina debacle.
Some British Whites on vacation sought shelter there, lol. They built a barricade of chairs to defend themselves. As you know, people were being raped and murdered while they waited for rescue.
I think it is readily apparent why Garland appointed Weiss to be the special counsel at this time:
“Congressional Republicans want David Weiss to testify about his investigation into Hunter Biden. But now that he’s been appointed special counsel, that is unlikely to happen.
It is Justice Department policy not to comment on ongoing investigations, meaning Weiss is off limits for congressional testimony as long as he is special counsel.
The chairmen of the House Judiciary Committee, Oversight Committee and Ways and Means Committee wrote to Attorney General Merrick Garland in June, requesting testimony from 11 Department of Justice employees, including David Weiss.
The chairmen said these are employees they “believe to possess information concerning allegations of politicization and misconduct with respect to the Department’s investigation of Hunter Biden”…….”

““Congressional Republicans want David Weiss to testify about his investigation into Hunter Biden. But now that he’s been appointed special counsel, that is unlikely to happen. ”
Aha! So, he knows a lot.
Isn’t this the same as suppression of evidence?
Who is gonna sue to get Weiss removed as special prosecutor, so that he can testify?
Looks like it should be an easy one, if Garfinkel broke a law in appointing Weiss in the first place.
@Mick: “I think it is readily apparent why Garland appointed Weiss to be the special counsel at this time”
Well, those pieces just keep falling into place, don’t they?
Mr. Kunstler,
The communists are in the White House and won’t easily leave. That pattern has been set beginning with the Bolshevik Party of Vladimir Lenin and later on by Mao Tse-Tung and other less notable dictatorial-communist notables.
Just wondering what they’ll cook up around voting day 2024.

Well, for starters, it looks like covid is making a come-back. So, either masks again and social distancing and mail-in ballots, or no election at all. But would the lemmings care?
They use communist tactics, but they are not straight communists. These are rich elites that are using tech to create a digitally based tyranny.
They are techno-fascists; they use private capital and “partnerships” (infiltration) with government to subsume public entities and destroy protective laws created by greater men.
A more simplistic description is parasite.
They are parasites.

What is the purpose of the media attention on Jeffrey Epstein?
The media and the Democrats go apeshit over any mention of Pedogate or pizza parties or adrenochrome.
Any mention of elite proclivities for torturing and abusing children elicits panicked screams and accusations of Qanon.
Why do they hate Qanon so much? Just listen, they will tell you. It is because Qanon accuses the wealthy of depravity and child abuse.
You can talk about Epstein’s island, and underaged teenaged girls all you want, but don’t dare mention Podesta’s emails.
Epstein is a deflection from far greater crimes than enticing teenagers to be paid for sex with wealthy perverts. Note that his victims survived.
(When I googled adrenochrome to check for spelling, this came up right after the usual Wiki article.

When print media, in particular the NYT (and now apparently usatoday), tells me something is “baseless” it makes me certain that I’ve hit pay dirt.
You’ll get page after page of articles from every conceivable source, telling you how baseless it is, if you google it.
And when Biden refused to debate Trump again, after the first time, they held two town halls, each candidate with their own personal pro-Biden media questioner, Trump’s went after him about Q-anon. She made it obvious that her (and thus her handlers) main objection was their opposition to child sexual abuse.

“Note that his victims survived.”

Note that at least some of his victims survived.
If any of his victims were killed, I hadn’t heard.

Put me into the – we are into a long process of collapse that will likely include an attempt at what I call a hard totalitarian maneuver. (See the writings of N.S. Lyons, especially “The Chinese Convergence.”
The emerging psychological revolt (we no longer believe anything you say) among 40 to 60 percent of the population is epitomized by this new anthem.
The emerging Elite panic is symbolized by the ham-fisted Garland/Weiss decision.
What may come next because of this panic is a collective elite decision to move from a soft to a hard totalitarianism.
Our relatively new (since the mid-19th century) mass managerial regime (characterized as something beyond the categories of left or right) consisting of the managerial state, the managerial economy, the managerial intelligentsia, the managerial mass media, and the managerial philanthropy were and are experts at a soft and sophisticated narrative manipulation type of rule.
But this incipient revolt of the public may cause our present soft managerial regime to begin to default to the use of force or the threat of force to try to coerce stability and obedience.
The softer approach of narrative manipulation tended to conceal the real scale, unity, and power of the present regime but its hidden and more coercive impulse may now be moving to the forefront.
Jim:
Interesting.
It seems like the Covid op was the most totalitarian situ we have had here since maybe WW2.
What will “hard” totalitarian crackdown look like?
Any ideas?
Cancellation of 2024 election?
We already have a de facto crackdown/elimination of protests and demos.
People self-manage by not even thinking about protesting anymore.
Islander:
At this point, I really don’t have a coherent answer to your question–an interpretation I feel confident about–even though I love to make predictions.
From my perspective, too many variables (potential causes) both to weigh and to assess interactions among.
Just one example. Beyond the immediate day to day events which I discussed above that appear to indicate some degree of elite panic which might, in-turn, lead to a more coercive stance, there is an entire evolving economic history that may or may not be leading to a U.S. financial/economic and subsequent political collapse.
I know many on this site are convinced that economic collapse is probably inevitable and perhaps much closer than I think (say a financial crisis that cannot be contained or an inflationary spurt that cannot be controlled, even by untraditional means–either of which might induce a more hard totalitarian turn).
But thirty some years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there are still unresolved debates about fundamental causes and their respective degrees of influence (authoritarian political centralization, structural nature of the Soviet economy, cultural issues swirling around the attempted creation of a new Soviet Man).
How do you see the next year playing out?
Like many others, I cannot imagine how the “campaign season” is going to roll out.
I also don’t know enough about finance to form a real opinion about financial collapse.
I have my savings in a couple of high-yield CDs at a regional bank. Not a tiny bank and not a TBTF type of bank. After 2008 this bank was ilsted among “community banks.” Now they have done an IPO, and I odn’t know whether that means ipso facto not a “community bank.” The manager there says these CDs are going like hot cakes. I said, You must be making a lot of loans in order to offer this interest rate. She said she assumed so, but didn’t work in the mortgage department (and of course t here are also business loans but no idea what the interest rates would be on those).
Given the real estate market on the Cape and Islands, it may be true that there is enough “new” money coming in to this bank.
Interest rates on CDs that are an IRA are half that for non-IRA.
Yes, Jim.
I’m thinking two things regarding Hunter’s place in all of this.
1) They all call him “Fuckstick” or worse behind his back.
2) they’re using him like a carrot and a stick to play out their little psychodrama. With all of the power they have thus far amassed and perverted they can afford to ad lib their presentation of HB to the public no matter the egregiousness of the Biden Brand of Crime.
Via their capture of seemingly every significant business enterprise toeing the line with the media, Mussolini’s definition of fascism seems to be ours.
Country music is canned and effeminized for the most part. They’re even bringing in Blacks and trying to make it part of all there cultural sphere, just like NASCAR.
Country can’t save us, but Bluegrass can.
Nashville. What do you expect? They let a pennsylvanian daughter of a lawyer to springboard into pop music from there. It’s Hollywood east.
In these purist parts, it’s Oldtime music that will save you, not Bluegrass.
I’m with you. I like some Bluegrass, but I hate that Bluegrass turnaround.
Oldtime for the win!!
I thought I was a bluegrass fan… until I discovered that all those old fiddle tunes, “camp meeting songs,” etc., that I love so much were not bluegrass, but actually Oldtime.
I like Oldtime, love and play traditional Bluegrass in a small combo of family and friends. Primarily on mandolin. Love to play piedmont, country blues and rags on guitar.
Wasn’t Charlie Pride a country music performer?
Why shouldn’t anyone sing any kind of music they want to sing?
Linda Ronstadt came from a middle-class background, and she could sing in any popular-music genre.
Bluegrass is banjo.
The banjo came from Africa and was adapted in the United States.
Look closely at some ‘whites’ singing Bluegrass music.

That was damn good. Love Ralph Stanley.
Artists take from each other. The White and Black musical traditions “borrowed” from each other.
The Black founders of Jazz were graduates of musical conservatories.
Grow up.
“The Black founders of Jazz were graduates of musical conservatories. ”
Really?
Whom are you talking about?
Names.
And why do you u.c. “black”?
You come after me even though Amman thinks that bluegrass music is Black? And puts White in quotation marks as if we don’t even exist?
Why do I “u.c” black? You need to get over yourself. The Island should have been inundated with refugees so you people would have had to live in fear or flee, selling your homes for pennies on the dollar. It would have been a growth experience.
Note: The NYT u.c’s Black by l.c’s White. People pointed out the hypocrisy but they stood firm.
You do not have to follow this idiotic new woke rule of u.c. “black” just because the NYT says to do it.
I u.c. “black” when working for a publisher who now has a new style rule for this word. I have to.
But I see the absurdity, so I don’t do it myself.
You have personal choice in your own writing.
U.c. “black” is purist wokery, recent twis that defies every standard rule as to the distinction between proper nouns (names) and regular nouns.
Now, back to the question of which jazz “founders” attended music conservatories.
Waiting.
What about Am’s putting White in quotaton marks? You good with that?
Wiki
Jazz is difficult to define because it encompasses a wide range of music spanning a period of over 100 years, from ragtime to rock-infused fusion. Attempts have been made to define jazz from the perspective of other musical traditions, such as European music history or African music. But critic Joachim-Ernst Berendt argues that its terms of reference and its definition should be broader,[14] defining jazz as a “form of art music which originated in the United States through the confrontation of the Negro with European music”[15] and arguing that it differs from European music in that jazz has a “special relationship to time defined as ‘swing'”. Jazz involves “a spontaneity and vitality of musical production in which improvisation plays a role” and contains a “sonority and manner of phrasing which mirror the individuality of the performing jazz musician”.[14]
Jarek: African folk music traditions confronting European music, both classical and folk. You really don’t think any of these guys studied the former, formally?
I admit the specific knowledge you requested (names) has been scrubbed from the internet if it was ever there, due to the desire to minimize the European influence and glorify all things African.
If you want a purely African based tradition, you’re thinking of Blues. A Bluesman can harmonize with griots of West Africa. But of course the topics of they lyrics have changed completely, from the noble to the often overtly prurient in the case of American Blues.
Read the whole wiki. There were many great White Jazz Men – all left out by what’s his name by the odius Burns in his documentary.
Yehudi Menuhin loves the spontaneous music of the gypsies with whom he had played in his youth. In his old age, after his retirement, he sought them out again to reexperience this.
Because everyone l.c.’s White, we u.c it. And to be courteous, do the same for Blacks.
Correction: Menuhin loved
I assume he’s passed on by now
“What about Am’s putting White in quotaton marks? You good with that? ”
Pure straw man.
Now, still waiting for an answer to my question as to which “Black founders of Jazz were graduates of musical conservatories.”
Grow up.”
Uh, trying to “grow up” here, and not getting any assistance. Hold the general lectures. Just answer the question. Otherwise you get a FAIL.
Straw man, huh? Like hell it is. You’re politically correct, always favoring minorities above your own people. And political correctness gave birth to wokery, being political correctness with the courage of its convictions. Just as classic Communism is Liberalism with the courage of its convictions.
You don’t like wokery but you’ve never renounced political correctness. And the only reason you don’t like it is because it’s coming after you and yours.
I did answer your question, but you’re too small to understand. Now you answer mine, little one.
What they are spooning up as country, oh yeah. “My ears! My ears!”

This is interesting. I googled “20th hijacker” because this same tactic was used in the 9-11 coverup, accusing Zacarias Moussaoui of being the 20th hijacker, and then running a years long trial that kept 9-11 investigators from interviewing witnesses, because, you know, our overlords are SO very invested in fair trials and all.
Anyway, the first two result pages were about a totally different “20th hijacker”.
Huh, that’s weird. They switched out the 20th hijacker at some point and I didn’t even notice.
I did notice when they switched out the “mastermind of 9-11”, changing him from Osama BinLaden to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
Say what? How do we go from 2 years of constant BinLaden propaganda to suddenly KSM propaganda, with less public outcry than when Bewitched switched out Darrens?
Anyway, charging Moussaoui to shut down the investigation was a very effective tactic, so they are repeating it.
Was his passport one of the several miraculously recovered from the rubble?

with less public outcry than when Bewitched switched out Darrens? – Paula D
==========
These obscure references to old TV shows are just too much for me. I don’t think I EVER watched Bewitched, even for five minutes.
But you must remember the uproar. It was part of the culture, as manufactured by the media.
Who is Darrens?
Samantha’s husband Darrin on Bewitched. They switched out actors, Dick Sergeant for Dick York. I remember the switcheroo, but don’t recall that it caused an uproar. Bewitched was kind of a marginal show for me as a youngster at the time.
If you didn’t watch the TV show, but you remember the switch, even though you were a child, then that proves that it was an uproar.
Why else would you remember it?
I remember the switch, even though I wasn’t watching the show anymore by then.
I thought the new Darren seemed much less gay than the old one.
Ironic, new Darren was gay.
I hated the old Darren and the way he bossed his wife around and thought Samantha should have listened to her mother.
Who needed that jerky little tyrant?
Wow, yeah, that is pretty just… sad. That no one noticed and they made less fuss than the Darren switcheroo.
“…..”Give us back our well-worn husk,” they said, “where we were so snug and comfortable.”
And then they tried word magic. “Conditions are fundamentally sound,” they said — by which they meant to reassure themselves that nothing now was really changed, that things were as they always had been, and as they always would be, forever and ever, amen.
But they were wrong.
They did not know that you can’t go home again.
America had come to the end of something and to the beginning of something else.
But no one knew what that something else would be
and out of the change and uncertainly and the wrongness of the leaders
grew fear and desperation and before long hunger stalked the streets….”

I have a feeling this is what the elite and their programming organs are most fearful of.

The High Middle is Fascism or National Socialism, though of course other names would have to be used.
Huey Long’s program of “Every man a King” and limits on wealth was the most radical thing ever spoken on these shores.
Not even the Fascists or the National Socialists go that far. As Pinochet said, you have to treat people who know how to produce things very well.
But his exalted populism could have been a positive contribution to what needs must be.

The longer one spends time in this Age of Rampant Lunacy… the more one realizes that this entire experience can be looked upon as just one big bad running joke.
It’s impossible to take anything that goes these days seriously because fundamentally this is a bad, ongoing Comedy Sketch that’s not at all funny and has no good punch lines to redeem the experience.
From the time we are children we are conditioned to take ‘Life seriously!’. Grow up… get an education…. get a good job and earn a living… find someone you can stand to live with who can also stand you… keep your nose to the grindstone… stay out of trouble… retire early… and plan your funeral so your kids don’t have to do anything but collect everything you leave behind that the government didn’t already steal. Looking over that list, perhaps there was always a clue hidden in plain sight — THIS is LIVING? THIS is IT? Or in the words of that old famous song… ‘Is That All There Is?!’…
Sure, all that’s not the most terrible way to live. But when you’re supposed to do all that in a toxic Society amongst a rabid Leadership Class that hates you… then the joke gets old and thin in a real New York Minute.
The rot is so deep now in everything that no one dares to try to fix anything. The Elitist Class has never been fatter or sassier. And We the People have never been broker and more confused. And this is no way to run a Nation… a Society… a Planet.
In short, we just can’t muster the energy to treat any of this nonsense seriously anymore. Mind you, it IS serious because our lives are serious at their heart. But you simply cannot look a ridiculous and absurd Social and Lifestyle structure in the eye everyday and act like this is in any way a good use of time and energy. Because it ain’t.
The Earth has become The Joke Planet. And We, the Jokers in the Deck.
Perhaps the first step back to sanity and healing is to realize that we’ve been going about things the wrong way. We’ve been treating this ongoing Bull-ship like serious business when all along it was actually just mocking and trolling us to finally wake up.
Trump? Biden? Wokeism? Covid? CBDC? Fauci? Hunter? Gavin? Pelosi? ‘Migrants’? Diversity and Inclusion? Drag Shows at Church? Little boys wanting their ‘thing’ to go away? Institutionalized and Sanctioned Racism against Light-Skinned People? Etc., etc. All bad punchlines to an ongoing joke being played upon We the People.

James, another great post. OK, a friend brought to my attention what may be a factual error from a post of yours I shared a couple weeks ago.
In the ‘Blob Nation’ post you referred to Devin Archer and Hunter Biden as college roommates. My friend begs to differ, pointing out that Biden attended Georgetown and Archer Yale as undergraduates. I have seen articles with said that it was Archer and Chris Heinz who were roommates at Yale, and that it was through Heinz and Archer was introduced to Biden.
The line in your post, that Archer and Biden were college roommates, caused my friend to question the accuracy of your writing, if, in his opinion, you can not get basic facts correct. What is the actual record? I did some looking around, and could not find anything about the pair having been roommates in college. But perhaps there is more than what I could find?
“The line in your post, that Archer and Biden were college roommates, caused my friend to question the accuracy of your writing, if, in his opinion, you can not get basic facts correct. ”
Tell your friend to keep his shirt on.
Newspapers make such little mistakes all the times.
They publish a correction the next week.
It looks like maybe Archer and Biden Jr. met through Chris Heinz, who is described as a classmate of Archer’s at Yale.
The Heinz tidbit is a useful addition, so thanks for that. It looks like all three of these scions had their hands in the Ukrainian pierogi plate.
Yes Islander – all three – and don’t forget Paul Pelosi, Jr., he had his hand in the Ukraine nookie jar, or maybe he takes after dear old dad.
One hand on a hammer and the other in the jar.
Yes, they were all close enough–Archer, Heinz and Biden–to partner up and form the Rosemont Seneca (what a name!) ‘investment and advisory’ firm.
Lon, does your friend no longer have any respect for the papers of record who have lied multiple times, including about Hunter’s laptop?
Or does he just use nitpicking to reject heretical reporting?
Yes, perhaps nitpicking on that to denigrate CF Nation? Which is a bit much, with all the mis-reporting, ‘Miss Info-ing’ that gets disseminated daily on the lamestream outlets, and where they deliberately make BIG errors of commission and omission.

“The Blade Runners vowed back in July they would stop at nothing until they had taken down every single one of the Ulez cameras.
That month an onlooker filmed a man calmly unscrewing one of the cameras as the hatred of the Mayor of London’s low emission scheme began to grow as the expansion date drew nearer.
A month later a Blade Runner climbed a lamp post and used a drill to tear down an enforcement camera in Bromley. …
Since April the covert group has been stealing and vandalising the Mayor of London’s Ulez cameras ahead of the zone being expanded.
. . .
One of the secretive Blade Runners met with MailOnline and vowed: “We are going to take down every single one no matter what.”
Dressed in a balaclava to protect his identity, the father in his mid-forties revealed he had stolen 34 Ulez cameras himself but his group and others like them have taken down hundreds.
He told MailOnline: “In terms of damag”e, it’s way more than what [Khan and TfL] have stated. It’s at least a couple of hundred.” …

Well, ladies and germs;
A potential solution to the unaffordability of education in America, Now, those of you who know me, know that I ain’t no goddamned commie.
However, I believe that the government should fund higher education. To begin with, a basic means test (based on aptitude alone). Then a full ride, full room and board, all inclusive financial coverage. Maintaining good character and acceptable grades contingent upon remaining in the program. All fees and costs to remain as a loan charged to the student.
Then, the student will repay the loan using payroll deductions during the life of his/hers/its productive years. Handled like social security deductions, maybe 5-7% of gross each month. Student will have these deductions made until the no interest loan is paid in full. No work, no payment.
Students entering the program must agree that there will be no exceptions to the repayment. No exempt income. Those wishing to work overseas must agree to the deduction of overseas wages.
The program will be handled by the Social Security Administration, with help, of course, from the IRS. The actual need for universal education, and discussions of the quality of that education, is an argument for another time. There would be no banks nor financial middlemen in the process.
Unless Daddy is rich, education is one of the few bootstraps in our culture. Everyone capable deserves nothing less.
I think that you’re onto something there.
Adding:
You can’t major in something stupid. No CRT degrees or even diplomas. Real, economically productive disciplines only.
What about the humanities and classics?
We need those, too. More than ever, actually.
Also, we need people who can speak foreign languages, and know foreign literatures.
Good point, Isles. And, sure, those are long-standing economically viable pursuits that enhance our quality of life (unlike CRT and gender BS).
economically productive disciplines only. – Zonk

It didn’t take long for someone (you) to throw a qualifier into elysianfield’s plan. I am against the whole idea. There are simply too damn many people who shouldn’t be within a mile of a university. Take Peter, for example. They are simply not able to handle academic rigor.
BTW, against my wishes my daughter was a “women’s studies” major.
That’s the beauty of elysianfield’s plan: those who shouldn’t be within a mile of a university will be weeded out after a semester or two. If you’re still standing with above-minimum grades after your freshman year, then you deserve to be there. If not, the loan will be closed (relatively) quickly saving both the ex-student and the school bigger problems later.

These marginal universities will be loath (loathe?) to fail out paying customers. Grade-flation will be rampant, worse than it already is.
That’s the trouble with using public money to fund for-profit institutions.
There are institutions that should never be run for profit, because the profit motive leads to graft and corruption, and some real harm to actual humans.
I think that education and health are two societal goods that should be run in a non-profit manner, the way that K-12 was run so many years.
Otherwise you get untreated sick and injured in the health care business, and stupid people being fleeced for worthless degrees in the education business.
I also think that prisons and the military should be non-profit.
Profiting from locking people up leads to the abuses we have seen, where judges were paid to put juveniles into prison, and prisoners of all ages are fed inedible slop, in order to skim more money from the government.
And, of course, we can see where the for-profit war machine has gotten us, and the world.
As Major General Smedley Butler pointed out, “(war) is the only (business) in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.”
Q,
These marginal universities will be loath (loathe?) to fail out paying customers. Grade-flation will be rampant, worse than it already is.
Maybe. Universities, like current health care providers, could either opt in or out of the system. The controls, requirements, bench marks, etc. are details which are always subject to abuse in ANY program. Value of tuition in questionable circumstances might face downgraded payments. Universities might be segregated into in A thru E quality,
and their position might reflect allowable costs…you know, like credit scores…only with validity…who knows?
WWRD? (What Would Rutgers Do?) opt in or out?
Q,
As an added bonus, current debtors in the program, past and present, can be rolled into the new system.
No added administrative costs to speak of, considering that everyone has a SS account, and it would only amount to another line item. No enforcement problems or additions, as the IRS is entirely competent in this area, and with the new hires, fully staffed with little to do…. Enrollees in the system will have more money to spend on essentials and discretionary purchases.
What’s not to like?

Some great new speakers were at the Amren conference:
Dr. Richardo Duchesne gave a deeply challenging talk, attacking the idea that “Cultural Marxism” or another recent innovation is responsible for the decline of Western Civilization. Instead, what we face is arguably the endpoint of civilization as liberal pluralism reaches its logical conclusion.
Dr. Duchesne said John Rawls was the most influential political philosopher of modernity, rather than anyone from the far more infamous Frankfurt School. Rawls argued that the right of everyone to determine his own morality, free of any collective standard, is regarded as “settled” and unchallengeable by reasonable people. Liberal pluralism is thus the heart of modern Western morality. Any attempt to impose collective moral standards or to asset a common purpose must therefore be suppressed to preserve individual freedom of conscience. The assumption that every person has the right and ability to make his own choices leads inexorably to egalitarianism and the liberal immigration.
Dr. Duchesne described modern Western history as one long story about the progressive elimination of restrictions and standards for voting and political participation. He argued that these ideas flow logically from the principles of John Locke and John Stuart Mill. Though many Western leaders, notably the Founding Fathers, took white racial identity for granted, Dr. Duchesne said the principles they espoused made it logically difficult to oppose even the most radical egalitarianism. Citing the Russian political philosopher Alexander Dugin, Dr. Duchesne argued that white racial survival requires the development of a fourth political theory beyond liberalism, fascism, and communism, though he warned that the project of overcoming liberalism will be extremely difficult.
Jarek: Well said. This is Mary’s, Everyone should be able to go anywhere and do whatever they want. Radical individualism is a nation killer. The Founders took their race for granted as they worked against it with ideologies of radical individualism.
The Fourth Theory? Already developed. You just fear to mention, good sir.
But kudos anyway! They also invited the towering figure of Stephen McNallen, Odinist priest turned White advocate. This is a religion of the blood, not for everyone but ourselves, ourselves alone.
There’s a good chance there will not be a 2024 election as we know it. Republicans will support Trump in the primaries, but somewhere along the line, the RNC will disallow his nomination. This will force a scramble in Milwaukee by the Republicans to align to a candidate that the majority will accept, which will be impossible. Trump will be fighting the courts and the RNC right up until the election.
There could be election cycle security threats, most likely created, or made by people working for the alphabet agencies.
I’m starting to dread elections in this country, which is most likely what they want.
Confrontation is coming. This is always where it was going to go.
The psychopaths will not stop. Their plans are public–one just needs to take the time to read them.
The question is, what will things look like on the other side?
According to Crane Briton’s excellent book “Anatomy of Revolution”, the most dangerous situation is where the people have had a foreshadowing taste of material comfort, but then the prospect of immediate improvement in their material circumstances is then suddenly snatched away.

I guess if the MSM don’t report all these unbelievable crimes, however, then they haven’t happened. At least in the minds of the average person. Seems they still don’t have a clue.

C.S. Lewis almost died in the trench warfare of WW-I
Became best friends with Tolkien
Sold 100 million books
On the cusp of WW-II, he gave an iconic lecture at Oxford University (1939)
His question:
Does beauty matter when bombs start falling?
THIS is his profound answer??
1/ The permanent human situation is endless strife, chaos and pain
C.S. Lewis:
“Human life has always been lived on the edge of a precipice. Human culture has always had to exist under the shadow of something infinitely more important than itself”
Yet culture breaks out
2/ If we waited for peace to create art the first cave painting would still not be made
Always some “imminent danger” looking more important than culture
Lewis: “If men had postponed the search for knowledge and beauty until they were secure, the search would never have begun”
Image
3/ Insect life v/s Human Life
CS Lewis:
“The insects have chosen a different line: they have sought first the material welfare and security of the hive, and presumably they have their reward. Men are different”
We demand not just mere continuity but variety, growth, adventure
4/ C.S. Lewis on why humans are a truly unique species:
“Men propound mathematical theorems in beleaguered cities, conduct metaphysical arguments in condemned cells, make jokes on scaffolds, and comb their hair at Thermopylae. This is not panache; it is our nature.”
5/ Right on the “front line,” soldiers don’t talk of the “allied cause” or the “progress of the campaign”
They’re instead concerned with stories, myths, fateful open-ended questions
They desire “aesthetic satisfactions”
If they wont “read good books” they will “read bad ones”
6/ CS Lewis on good ideas:
“Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered. The cool intellect must work not only against cool intellect on the other side, but against the muddy heathen mysticisms which deny intellect altogether”
7/ The soul feeds on truth and beauty like the body feeds on food:
“God makes no appetite in vain. We can therefore pursue knowledge and beauty in the sure confidence that by so doing we are either advancing to the vision of God ourselves or indirectly helping others to do so”
8/ C.S. Lewis on why we must study the past:
“Not that the past has any magic about it, but because we cannot study the future, and yet need something to set against the present, to remind us that the basic assumptions have been quite different in different periods”
Image
9/ Past as immunity from new-age BS:
“A man who has lived in many places is not likely to be deceived by the local errors of his village; the scholar has lived in many times and is therefore…immune from the great cataract of nonsense that pours from the press of his own age.”
10/ Don’t wait for spare time to know what you want to know and to chase what you want to chase
C.S. Lewis: “The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavorable. Favorable conditions never come.”
Image
C.S. Lewis was a brilliant thinker
Always rewarding to read
I’ve been reading his classic books along with his obscure lectures, and collecting the insights in one place:
Jarek: The real liberal arts, not “liberalism”, falsely called. Not for everyone however. Might disagree with the old boy on that point.
The other side of the coin, in this case from ‘The Imaginative Conservative’, offers this:
‘Overall, the Inklings found Lewis’s fame a bit perplexing. Humphrey Havard noted the Inklings “were inclined to laugh at him” in a friendly manner, but “we didn’t take him all that seriously. Nothing like the seriousness with which he’s taken in America today.”[4] Tolkien also told Roger L. Green, a mutual friend, that he thought very little of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It was, he thought, a hodgepodge of incoherent mythologies. Perhaps most infamously, Tolkien wrote a long article or a short book (few outside of the Tolkien Estate have ever seen it) in 1964, the year after Lewis’s death, entitled The Ulsterior Motive. From the few snippets that have been published of it, it appears to be an attack on Lewis as anti-Catholic. Tolkien seems to have vented mightily.’
‘One American critic, Victor Yarros, was vicious after Lewis appeared on the cover of Time. “C.E.S. [sic] Lewis, the Oxford don, the pious paradox monger and suspicious word juggler, will surely meet his match one of these days and be subjected to a severe debunking operation. He is asking for it,” Yarros continued. “Oh, for a Huxley, or a Heine, or an Ingersoll, to expose his tricks and call his bluffs.” Though he never stated it directly, Yarros appears to have opposed Lewis’s Christianity, claiming him to be no better than a Jehovah’s Witness or Christian Scientist. Sadly, the author claimed, Lewis had conned millions of gullible people with his “rubbish.”’
‘Though she never published a critique (that I know of) of him in her lifetime, the Russian-American novelist, Ayn Rand, despised Lewis in a manner similar to Yarros. In her marginalia to Lewis’s 1943 book, The Abolition of Man, she labels him “an abysmal bastard” and a “monster” who “literally thinks to give men new knowledge is to gain power over them. The cheap, awful, miserable, touchy, social-metaphysical mediocrity.” She claims that Lewis either does not understand—or, rather intentionally misunderstands—reason, rationality, and nature. Yet, whatever the case, he offers nothing new in his ideas and books. “The lousy bastard,” she writes, “is a pickpocket of concepts, not a thief, which is too big a word for him.” Lewis is, Rand concluded, a mystic and a liar who “postures as a ‘gentleman and scholar.’”[5] No less than three times, Rand labeled Lewis a “bastard” in her notes. Whatever the legitimacy of her criticisms of the man, she was absolutely wrong about this one. Lewis knew very well who his father was.’
To each his own. A time and a place. Right now, I’ll leave the more lofty and go with the gutter to grave stuff, the bare-knuckle reality stuff, hard men and cold women, death right around the corner stuff, the eye with the glint of the kill, flint like toughness and knuckles like lug nuts.
Rand was a mad woman. It is known!
Lewis hated the new woman – that is also known. One of them, a professor of the new philosophy of positivism, defeated him a well publicized, drawn out debate. As the Chinese say, when the Dragon is in shallow water, it will be bitten by eels and things that it has left far behind.
Yes, he was a real mystic. You hate such people since they have more than aesthetic experiences.
Tolkien hated his friend because he never overcame the prejudices of his Ulster youth. Tolkien expected him to keep going on to Catholicism, but his youth was sacred to Lewis, the source of his inspiration, so he wasn’t going to mess with that. The religion of his youth was what it was going to be.
But yes to your last point. As Adams said, my son will study war so that his son can study engineering so that his son can study poetry. We’re back to square one again.
I hope you got my apology last week.
When you’re loose, (with the lips), you’re obtuse. I don’t hate such people. Do I hate Joan of Arc, Kahlil Gibran, Buddha, Lao Tzu, or Confucious? Of course not.
Rand was/is certainly a polarizer, but she is needed now more than ever.
“I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.”
“I started my life with a single absolute: that the world was mine to shape in the image of my highest values and never to be given up to a lesser standard, no matter how long or hard the struggle.” Remind you of anyone?
People have difficulty in dealing with her formidable intellectual and emotional muscularity, her fiery independence. But, from Nathaniel Branden,
‘Ayn Rand was a great champion of reason, a passionate champion of the human mind — and a total adversary of any form of irrationalism or any form of what she called mysticism. I say “of what she called mysticism,” because I do not really think she understood mysticism very well — I know she never studied the subject — and irrationalism and mysticism are not really synonymous, as they are treated in Atlas Shrugged.
I didn’t, but thanks for that. I’m glad that blade was fairly dull! Lol!
Thanks for tuning into this week’s Literary Corner, hosted by Yaros, The Great and Terrible. Tune in next week to hear Yaros discuss Ernest Hemingway: The man, the myth, the enigma, the lover, the scoundrel, the inveterate drunk. 🙂
A friend flew in from NY and was dining with Hem in Sun Valley. The friend started abusing a waiter who had gotten his order slightly wrong. Hem didn’t like it and told him to apologize or fuck off.
You see the waiter, the “kid” was actually a higher being, a veteran – as well as just being a good local guy. Hem tried to look out for his Idaho family…..
That’s the teaser, I take it. I can’t wait!
I think that when Lovell extols being “Dangerous” as a masculine virtue that all Men must possess in order to be mentally viable that he means dangerous but not psychopathic?
Ted Bundy was “Dangerous”.
Didn’t Michael Jackson cut an album called “Dangerous”? I think that Michael Jackson was probably dangerous to little kids, like Joe Biden and Jeffrey Epstein and Kevin Spacey?
“
The word “dangerous” is a concept our culture does not currently value when applied to men.
The barrage of news headlines and propagandized attacks against masculinity has lulled the public into thinking there is only one kind of “dangerous”—the bad kind. But there is an invisible liability in asking good men to suppress their warrior instincts: their longing for adventure, their natural boldness and strength.
To dismiss what sets your soul on fire and live an existence that doesn’t ruffle any feathers is not what you are here to do. It will not keep your loved ones safe, and it won’t satisfy you. Not to mention, it just doesn’t work.
Battening down what makes you dangerous won’t make your longings any quieter. It only adds fuel to the fire. A man who doesn’t find a challenge worthy of his strength will find another outlet. He’ll lose himself in sports teams, work, pornography, or going to the gym. He’ll obsess over the next NFL game or some new video game or the next career goal, never quite satisfied with what’s in front of him.”

@ all commenters
Go to the next to last line of the next to last paragraph of today’s essay.
Originally it contained these words: (e.g., Maine Medical Board’s persecution of Dr, Meryl Nass).
The comma after Dr has been corrected to a period. This tells me our host wants what he writes to be error free yet somehow this desire has not rubbed off on many of you.
And yet I am the nutcase.
Oh yeah. JHK has been in publishing for decades. Publishing (going to press) is all about the pursuit of perfection. In publishing, 99.9% error-free is not nearly good enough.
FWIW, Q, I enjoy your posts. You keep everyone on their toes. Poboby’s nerfect but we should all aim for perfection.

It is a shame how a minimal few nutcases have ruined being a nutcase for the rest of us. Most nutcases are generally good company.

Speaking of which:
In the business section of today’s NYT there’s an article about Japan’s economy. There’s a picture of some Japanese women crossing a city street. Beneath the picture is a caption which reads as follows: Japan didn’t suffer as greatly Covid as others economically, but the effects were longer lasting.
Do you believe as I do that this caption is misworded?
I believe the correct wording should have been Japan didn’t suffer Covid as greatly as others economically, but the effects were longer lasting.
@ Q. Shtik:
It could be that the author of that sentence was a non-native speaker. If not, they are so stupid that speculating on what they meant to say is a waste of time, since it was assuredly something stupid. I’m not really keen on speculating about what non-native speakers meant to say, either. I don’t like playing, “Guess what I mean!”
Yeah, you are the nutcase.
Because you obsess about trivialities.
And you think those who have other things to think about—such as THE CONTENT of what is written—are deficient in their attention, or their priorities, or something, and you actually add to your annoying “correction” tic a new tic: upbraiding normies for not sharing your tic.
Get a grip, Q. .
Ignoring a comment’s content only to nitpick on a spelling or mechanics error is as appealing as offering up a cup of cold vomit. It is a punk-ass thing to do and merits being stuffed into a locker and given a wedgie.
I’m currently obsessed with vulcanism and the history of the House of Windsor. I’m sure all of you would enjoy my lengthy disquisition on these topics. Who gives a shit about the Long Emergency, anyhow?
I read Karl Denninger (market-ticker.org) every single day. His punctuation (or lack of it) drives me nuts, not just because I am a professional proofreader, but also because it can make his writing difficult to understand. Because he has very worthwhile things to say, I re-read sentences when I have to, to figure out what he means. Over time, I’ve gotten used to his style, and now, getting his meaning has become more automatic. But I would share his articles with more people if they weren’t so needlessly confusing.
However, even having said all that, I have never commented on his glitches unless there is a HUGE, major error — for example, accidentally writing “would” when he meant “wouldn’t,” which flips a sentence’s meaning to its complete opposite. Other than major errors like that, I keep my mouth shut — and I damn sure wouldn’t get into some long, drawn-out pissing match with some fellow commenter over a fucking mark of punctuation.
Pissing matches in general are boring (I usually just skip right over them when I come across one), but pissing matches over… punctuation? Ugh. Beyond boring.
@ Heartlander:
Yes, Karl’s main writing deficit is punctuation, though I think he’s gotten better over the years. Karl is a guy who can crunch numbers, tease out the meaning of statistics, explain virology, work through the finer points of law, and on and on. The guy is brilliant. I can’t do any of the stuff he does. Which is why it’s so puzzling that he doesn’t get hold of a Chicago Manual of Style and figure out where commas go. It’s much easier than figuring out IG-whatchamacallits, R0-whosits, and interpreting the law.
There are also a few people who comment on tickerforum who are far worse than Karl, when it comes to communicating. And this is a damn shame, because some of these same people are also briliant.
I also wish Karl would devote less digital ink to metaphorical violations of people’s poopers, and occasionally even people’s cooches. Additionally, the constant adjurations to “do something” about our nation’s troubles have sometimes made me suspect that he’s doing a bit of agitating at the behest of people who are not our friends–that, and the accusations that our current state of affairs is my fault, because I have failed to “do something.”
I agree with Islander. Who knew?
Meanwhile Island asked me about why I used “u.c” for Black.
Physician, heal thyself!
But actually I do have a reason: Because I u.c White and I’m a gentleman, extending that courtesy to other races.
You wear the pedant’s badge like a general wears his stars. It’s rather pitiful.
BTW, above, you forgot to add a period after Dr.
Nothing more absurd than a man in a glass house with a bucket full of rocks.
“The comma after Dr has been corrected to a period.” Emphasis added.
In JHK’s source, there was not a comma after “Dr.” That would be “Dr.,” but that is not what Q is describing. That is, Q made no error and has no bucket full of rocks.
He was not quoting directly which would require a period after Dr.
Otherwise a quote with (sic).
Thus (sic) he is wrong, Dr. Dork
I will let Q weigh-in. I believe that he intentionally left the period off after Dr to better illustrate what he was saying regarding the edit to JHK’s essay. I may be wrong. Q?
Dr. Dork, eh? That does seem a more mean-spirited nickname than does Edgy, would you not agree?
How much simpler life would be, and how redundant this specific argument, if you guys just followed UK English rules.
Those rules mean no period after Dr, Mr, St (whether for Street or Saint), because the contraction includes the first and last letters of the full word. The period, over this way, stands for missing letters, of which there are none at the end of the contractions in question, hence:
Dr
Mr
St
Fr
Cllr
Ave
Rd
but
Prof.
Rev.
Pl.
GA,
Yes, as I found out the hard way back in the day, the USAF and most other branches don’t add a period at the end of abbreviated ranks/titles. Had to write a paper for a “Leadership School” class back in the early 90’s, and they gigged me for every time I used a period after a rank. Thirteen times I think it was. I complained that it was the same mistake, just thirteen times, and the instructor replied that at least my math was good.
Those rules mean no period after Dr, Mr, St (whether for Street or Saint), because the contraction includes the first and last letters of the full word. – GA
===========
Interesting. I did not know that.
@ GreenAlba:
But Dr., Mr., St., etc., are not contractions; they are abbreviations. If they were contractions, they would be written D’r, M’r, S’t, etc.
Missing letters are not indicated by a period, but by an apostrophe. Now, you can indicate missing or omitted words with elipsis dots.
Three elipsis dots, to be exact. (Some people will just put in any old number of elipsis dots.) If the omitted words occur at the end of a sentence, you use three elipsis dots and also a period, so you wind up with four dots.
Call them abbreviations, then, Anthea. It doesn’t matter. The rule in UK English remains what it is and for the reason stated. I worked in medical publishing for over 20 years, so I spent my life writing Prof., Dr etc!
For the British and world markets (‘world’ meant everywhere except the US in this context), UK conventions were used. For the US, the copyeditor would make the necessary changes, where authors and contributors were not American.
That doesn’t mean the average punter has any idea of the conventions, of course.
This may be of interest to some here:
httpX://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2023/08/is-obama-running-a-shadow-government-from-his-mansion-in-kalorama-washington-dc.html
Here are the first three grafs:
“This post was motivated by “The Obama Factor“, a long and rambling Q&A between Pulitzer-winning historian and Obama biographer David Garrow, and David Samuels, the Tablet’s Literary Editor. Garrow and Samuels answer the question posed in the headline in the affirmative; basically, “quite possibly, yes.” Spoiler: By Betteridge’s Law, my answer is “No,” but with significant qualifications.
Most of the reactions to “The Obama Factor” — which focuses primarily on the irresistible rise of a fabulist creep who had written not one but two autobiographies by the age of 47, both in election years — have focused on Obama’s sensational fantasy life. In fact, I can only find serious reaction pieces from FOX and the New York Post; nothing from the other side of the aisle at all, and since the piece has been out for two weeks, I assume there won’t be (and if it were easy, the takedowns and the dogpiling would already have happened). Nobody seems to have focused on the most provocative part of “The Obama Factor”: Why Obama remained in Washington, DC, bought a mansion, and what he’s been doing with his time there[1]. In this post, I will take a first cut at explaining that.
I will first look at Obama’s neighborhood: Kalorama. Then I will look at his mansion, and what he is known to have done there. I will then present a great slab of Garrow and Samuels, who present the thesis that Obama is running a shadow government long form. I willonclude by briefly critiquing that thesis. ”
I had never even heard of Kalorama before I think this week. It sounds like a margarine brand.
Great discussion in the comments of the the STrether piece.
It is nice to see how many have seen right through the Obama mask and shtick.
“Fabulist creep” is right!
I saw the Kalorama purchase remarked upon in the press at the time as something unheard-of. I think they initially rented it but then bought the place. Does the article also mention that Planet of the Apes creep, Valerie Jarrett, lives with the couple? Ed Klein reported on it. She and Michelle run the world and together try to coax The One out of his video game lair, which reeks of the ganja. He has apparently abandoned his former work ethic and become totally inert.
“He has apparently abandoned his former work ethic and become totally inert.”
That certainly is not what Strether and the many commenters think. The idea that Obama is “inert” belies the point of the whole piece, which is: Why would a former president choose to remain so close to the seat of power . . . .????
The supposition is also that Obama gets paid well by someone to do whatever it is he is doing.
Michelle comes across like an empty head—“Knitting now means so much to me!” I guess she has a social media following. She probably pays someone to write her posts and knit up the pink garment until the photographer comes, at which point she picks up her knitting.
Totally fake, just like her hubby. IMHO.
As near as I can tell, Obama is interested in leadership only insofar as his speeches are applauded and his edicts carried out, and as near as I can tell, Michelle is obsessed with status and rides her husband like a sea hag, according to Jarrett’s advice.
The statement that Obama refused to arm the Kiev regime is so often repeated that it is taken as fact.
But it is not true. The rebuilding and arming of the Ukrainian military, after so many units defected to the Donbass side in 2014, started immediately, as Jacques Baud has testified.
As I recall, there was one particular weapon that Obama loudly refused to send, and that was spun, and continues to be spun, as “evidence” that Obama did not arm the Kiev regime in Ukraine.
But the coup, the rerouting and shooting down of the Malaysian airliner, the sanctions, the insults, the discrimination against Russian athletes and musicians, the attacks on Russian ambassadors, the build-up of NATO, the shooting down of both civilians and military planes, and the entire media campaign against Russia started before the 2016 election.
It started under Obama. As I stated last post, I was watching the provocations and I was sure that we would be at war with Russia very soon.
Trump screwed all that up, but they are now back on track.
Do I think Obama is running things? No, I think they are running it from the State Dept., with Obama’s henchmen and women, like Cookies Nuland.
But to believe that Obama would never have started a war with Russia is deluded, and basing on a non-existent policy shows that they were not paying attention during his regime.
Obama to Putin:
“We can do stuff to you”.
Obama:
”“And we will at a time and place of our own choosing. Some of it may well be explicit and publicized, some of it may not be.”
NATO Jacques Baud on the building of the Ukrainian army. It didn’t start under Trump.
Actually Trump was impeached because the Democrats said he held back weapons.

Jacques Baud is THE BEST. Too bad more people have never heard of him. Thank you for the Schwerpost link. I’ve read his stuff at the Postil Magazine, the postil.com.
He has several books out. I’ve been reading his book “Putin: Game Master,” which is a thorough, readable, very readable backgrounder on the whole Ukraine conflict. On every page, Baud debunks the stories presented in the Western media, and he is careful to document everything he says. It’s depressing as you realize that nearly everything we have been told and are still being told about Ukraine is a big fat lie.

FROM SBPDL / UNZ
Looking at the original report, it appears that CT has a system to track any supposed “disparate impact” impact of traffic enforcement on non-White, and that (at least until recently), this system was almost entirely independent of the system used to track infractions for enforcement purposes.
This separate “racial profiling” tracking system used different software, was run by an outside vendor, and allowed officers to generate their own traffic stop ID number (different from the number used to to initiate a report, without any involvement of dispatchers or requirement for a matching citation in the “enforcement” side of the system.
If you create an easily gameable system, and the people subjected to that system have strong incentives to game it… they will.
Yeah, that’s a big thing going on here right now. In a nutshell, what’s happening is a large percentage of black & hispanic residents don’t bother to register their cars, insure their cars, and even get a DL … and the fact that illegals are given DLs adds to the problem on the roads. Add to that all the cars that they steal mostly from suburban (white) towns. State & local PDs know what the score is & stop non whites more than they do whites, and make many more arrests from these traffic stops. For the left (most of the state and city govts) this is evidence of racism. Just last week in WHartford a Puerto Rican was shot after engaging police in a high speed chase driving a stolen car. He refused to surrender and crashed into numerous autos, endangering everybody, then fought the cops on the street. Inevitably, yesterday there were demonstrations in the Park Street neighborhood against ‘Racist Cops’ gunning down Puerto Ricans. As the White population here shrinks and the govt panders to the ever growing ‘minority’ an impossible situation has developed ~ with no end in sight.
For ordinary citizens the only way to deal with this mayhem is to stay vigilant & above all avoid the cities of Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport etc., where chaos reigns, and not much good happens.
An article in a recent issue of the London Review of Books, about the SCOTUS decision striking down affirmative action, argues that it is wrong to equate “negative” racism with “positive” racism, which helps those who have been injured by ongoing racism in the USA.
The writer is Randall Kennedy. He might even have been a “diversity” admission himself.
But going easy on minorities (positive, do-gooder racism) does not help the society in which they live, and so it cannot help them. The smarter ones, members of minorities, realize this. Not only will their personal achievements be called into question, but social breakdown and lawlessness is encouraged, and so they are also exposed to the mayhem, and the potential backlash.
Whatever happened to the “tough love” concept?
Maybe proponents of “positive” racism ought to be obliged to spend a week out on the beat with actual cops.
Wearing an adrenaline monitor!!
My cousin’s a retired State Trooper. He patrolled the NJ Turnpike for many years and went by the motto: “racial profiling saves lives.”
Incidentally, the AG just implemented a similar tracking system here.

Lol. Thank you Mr. K!
Dreamy. You’re such a good witch. Glenda’s got nothing on you.
Were the people in Lahaina flash incinerated so their land could be taken? Real estate developers have literally already swooped in like vultures and are contacting victims to buy up their land. This is happening as survivors are still searching for loved ones and trying to identify bodies.
The NYPost ran an article yesterday showing elites like Paris Hilton & Leo DiCaprio in Hawaii still lounging and partying on their yachts just a few miles from the burnt over district ~ and people flying into Honolulu airport for their summer vacation lol.
if I had a vacation planned to non Maui Hawaii Id take it, why not?
Its Maui thats in crisis.
I spent time on the Big Island. It was an excellent vacation, what with exploring lava tubes and helicoptering over the volcano and watching the lava pour out into the sea.
I spent a month there in the fall of 1978 at the Pohakuloa Training Area up between the volcanoes. Pretty fun for a 20 year old. Drove a Gamma Goat up to the observatory on Mauna Kea. Damn thing wouldn’t hardly run at that altitude.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pohakuloa_Training_Area
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gama_Goat
Different people feel compassion differently. I remember, a couple of decades ago, many people in my circle raving about how wonderful and affordable their Dominican Republic vacay was and suggesting that I do the same. I told them that I would not be able to enjoy a vacay lounging on the same island as Haitians in agony. They blankly looked at me like I had two heads.
Look at how lovely your lawn is. But to the bugs therein it a dangerous jungle, one filled with predators.
The moral is: Don’t look to closely. You won’t like what you see. This goes for Nature and Human nature and society.
But if you want wisdom, look very closely. You will end up looking for something beyond this fallen natural world, both human and non-human.
People are vacationing on Maui as if nothing happened. On the other side of the island or just a mile or two away?
Did you remain composed? That’s at the point typically where I stare back for a moment and then just get up and say y’all are so fucked up and just walk off. And besides. If you think about it in one respect. Two heads are better than one. You can think double the thoughts!
I did remain composed at the time, SSL. I had much more composure back then.
Yeah. It’s as if they aren’t really trying to hide the ulterior motives here. In fact, I believe the governor Hawaii just basically said that the government wants to acquire the burned out properties.
I personally wouldn’t mind having a convict as my President. If that prevents me from attending your dinner parties, well, fyi, they’re basically boring filter bubbles anyway.
Future shock: we’ll ALL be locked up doing time, even El Presidente.
Yeah. I guess that is why they are investing so heavily in the open air tech prison grid system. Do they have a fail safe to keep the prison grid system going in the case of EMPs?
Yeah, it’s called YOU DIE.
Dis, it would not be surprising to learn that the military has an extermination strategy in place for maximum-security correctional institutions like the Colorado Supermax. It would kick in with (a) social breakdown and anarchy, (b) infra collapse – no power or delivery of goods, or (c) natural disaster like Yellowstone supervolcano goes off.
Everybody gets killed, guards as well as inmates. You try and hustle the guards to safety and street-smart inmates will figure the deal and riot. The warden, if popular with his superiors, might be helicopered out, “…on business”.
For the rest inside it will be nerve gas from drone sprinklers.
If anyone is interested in a publishing miracle, there is a book out on the Maui fires and what they mean for climate change!
amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CFCYXMRX
Written, edited, typeset, proofread, printed and bound (OK, we’ll accept it’s POD, wasn’t proofread or edited and didn’t exactly need a cover designer) in how many days? The first few reviewers have nailed it, i.e. a publishing miracle that even puts Schwab’s effort to shame.
Why would they not wait a couple of months to make it look credible? Presumably to let us know that credibility isn’t even a thing any more?
On closer viewing, this is a hoax. Pub. date is 10 August, fires were 11 August? Nothing in ‘view inside’ except the cover. Another attempt to discredit the naysayers, then. Perhaps Marianna Spring will cover it in BBC Vilify, sorry Verify, as part of ‘Marianna in Conspiracyland’.
LOL! They’re not even making any attempt to hide it anymore. Cojones like basketballs on these bastards.
Warning: Change of subject
Was it the status of Jury Nullification o’er there? Anything left at all?
Over where – Maui or the UK?
If the UK, it still exists but hardly anyone knows about it and judges don’t mention it to juries. Saw an interesting exposition of it by the ever-excellent Alex Thomson on UKC a while back. I hadn’t known about it either. I bought a copy of ‘The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate’ as a result as well!
The COLOR REVOLUTION of SOROS & FRIENDS was rammed up UKRAINE’S butt some years ago, and is in the firm grip of the ULTRA wealthy Zio-Globalists who lust for world hegemony.
AMERIKA got its COLOR REVOLUTION rammed up its fanny back in 2020.
Forget about the “FOOT STOMPING ON THE FACE FOREVER”.
More like the FIST UP YOUR BUTT FOREVER.
Of course, the BIG difference between 1776 and today is, those folks back then didn’t take kindly to being raped.
Today, more then 1/2 of the goy out here LOVE IT, and LIVE FOR IT.
What an asshole you are!
The unwanted truth hurts, right Bill? The unwanted truth can cut right to the bone. The unwanted truth can make a man name-call exactly like a little boy.

Enough, O.G. You think we’re all dumb and don’t know who you are? Isn’t it time to go back on your meds and visit your shrink? How’s your divorce situation coming along, btw?
I thought Edge Lord was OG. A big big bull lose in a china cabinet!
Wrong
OG is the most toxic person I’ve ever run across in a regular comments section.
He’s way past anything a shrink would be able to help, that’s for sure.
2020?
ONE COULD MAKE THE ARGUMENT 2007!
Or the day the Marxist scum realized they could use Barry Soetoro and his faux oratory skills to con Americans to vote for him.
He then laid the foundation to restart the slowly burning race wars.
Recent news Re: Hunter Biden.

Are there apt metaphors for this decision? Similes? The low hanging fruit will be soon picked (rats from a sinking ship). Liberal Arts majors might include the “bloom being off the rose” The practitioners of the dismal arts (accountants, statisticians and economists) might suggest that the “figures did not add up”. A student of contemporary French History might suggest preparing to be “shat upon from a great height”…or the hopelessly romantic among us might suggest that the lawyer understood that “they were headed to pound town with a whiskey dick”.
My favorite? The lawyer recognized that they were “Up the Ganges without an air freshener”….
“they were headed to pound town with a whiskey dick”.
LOL! Love it!
“Up the Ganges without an air freshener” is certainly a good one!
No, I’m not the author, nor am I searching for confirmation. Rather, just another writer who understands the global political dynamic. Now, if he could just incorporate JHK’s theses, people might begin to understand the complete picture of why what is occurring on the world stage is happening now.

imetatronink.substack.com/p/the-summer-of-fraying-threads
On April 23, 2021, I wrote the following:
“Ukraine has two options: accept its role as a buffer state, or be dismembered. If the US goads them into an attempt to subjugate the Donbass, Russia will slice away eastern Ukraine and assimilate it — and there is *nothing* the US can do to prevent it.”
Of course, we all know what has happened since then. And now, as the summer of 2023 slips away here on our increasingly vexed planet, I note the following salient developments:
1) The empire’s proxy war in Ukraine is a lost cause, and Russia will emerge from it exceedingly stronger than when it began.
Matters have reached the point where the imperial masters will be forced to choose between a humiliating disengagement and abandonment of Ukraine to its fate — or otherwise blunder into a calamitous direct military intervention.
In recent months, many of the most influential voices in Russia have reiterated the demands made of the NATO bloc in December 2021: it must withdraw its military forces to their pre-1997 posture.
NATO presence in and military support for Ukraine must cease forthwith; Ukraine must be entirely demilitarized, and a neutral regime must be installed in whatever Ukrainian rump state the Russians choose to leave unrestored to mother Russia.
Additionally — and this demand has been explicitly stated — American missiles must immediately be removed from Poland and Romania, and NATO military presence in all the Russia-adjacent nations must be withdrawn.
Many geopolitical analysts have commented to a limited degree on Putin’s address to the world delivered even as Russian forces had commenced their “Special Military Operation” in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, but few, if any, have focused their attention on the equally portentous address Putin delivered three days earlier.
In his February 21, 2022 speech, Putin meticulously recounted the relevant history of the region dating back multiple centuries, and focused specifically on the events that followed in the wake of the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
In addition to Putin’s history lesson, he makes particular reference to a detailed proposal Russia delivered to the United States and its NATO allies in mid-December 2021 — a proposal that effectively amounted to a “final warning”; a last-ditch effort to avoid war in Ukraine.
Consider his words carefully, and especially in light of how Russia has unswervingly adhered to the three primary war objectives Putin articulated in his February 24th speech.
Last December, we handed over to our Western partners a draft treaty between the Russian Federation and the United States of America on security guarantees, as well as a draft agreement on measures to ensure the security of the Russian Federation and NATO member states.
The United States and NATO responded with general statements. There were kernels of rationality in them as well, but they concerned matters of secondary importance and it all looked like an attempt to drag the issue out and to lead the discussion astray.
We responded to this accordingly and pointed out that we were ready to follow the path of negotiations, provided, however, that all issues are considered as a package that includes Russia’s core proposals which contain three key points. First, to prevent further NATO expansion. Second, to have the Alliance refrain from deploying assault weapon systems on Russian borders. And finally, rolling back the bloc’s military capability and infrastructure in Europe to where they were in 1997, when the NATO-Russia Founding Act was signed.
Vladimir Putin, Address by the President of the Russian Federation, February 21, 2022
(emphasis added)
Clearly, the Russians are emboldened by both their burgeoning military strength as well as NATO’s manifest military debility.
This war has achieved precisely the opposite effect envisioned by its imperious authors: it has served to strengthen Russia, and also forged an unbeatable alliance between Russia, China, and Iran.
That said, I cannot shake the haunting worry that the Empire At All Costs cult may yet succeed in persuading the powers-that-be in the Pentagon to test the myth of American military supremacy against what was so long imagined to be Russian military ineptitude.
I believe we will see the answer to that question between now and the vernal equinox in March 2024.
2) Like its new allies in Russia and Iran, China has now declared in unmistakable terms that it will no longer abide by the arbitrary “rules-based international order”.
They will no longer tolerate US meddling in Taiwan, nor permit the US to dictate the geopolitical relationships of the nations in east Asia and the western Pacific.
The days of a patient and grudgingly submissive China have come to an end.
To punctuate this reality, we have recently seen the unprecedented development of joint Russia/China naval patrols in the Pacific — including off the coast of Alaska.
In other words, we have well and truly arrived at a hinge point in time.
The first global empire in human history has long-since receded from its high-water mark and is now in rapid and increasingly chaotic decline.
“I have touched the highest point of all my greatness; And, from that full meridian of my glory, I haste now to my setting …”
Great dangers and momentous changes lie ahead — some in the relatively near future; some not far over the horizon.
Prepare accordingly …
One minor nitpick: I think Afghanistan proved pretty definitively that the empire is incapable of feeling embarrassment, if Iraq and Vietnam before it hadn’t already. And I remain convinced that nukes will be rolled out before long, very likely first as false-flag events right here in the “homeland” to justify wider use elsewhere. That’s how they do.
@Dis:
Gee, thanks, Dis. Like I don’t have enough to be concerned about already. If we get nuked, I guess I’ll pack it in. I once thought I could build an underground shelter and survive, but then I read a novel “Level Seven”. If you haven’t it might be a good read for you.
Hey Bill! Nukes are the least of our problems. They do their dirty work pretty quickly, so long as you’re reasonably close to the blast. Even if you’re not, you’ll know that the end is coming pretty quickly once the mushroom clouds make their first appearance.
I’ll check out “Level Seven,” but I have no desire to hang around after we cross the nuclear Rubicon. I guess you could call me an optimistic pessimist. I know for a fact that things are going to shit fast and that we probably don’t have much time left, but somehow it just doesn’t bother me anymore. Go figure.
Rated highly on Amazon. Published in 1959 at the previous height (man, if we only knew then what we know now!) of the madness. Looks like a great read!
I hadn’t heard of it. I am going to get a copy and read it right after I dig this root cellar. Subterranean shelter is next week. If you’d like to imagine surviving, try Dr Bloodmoney or How We Got Along After the Bomb by Philip K Dick.
Good article. Glad you’ve realized your heroes are malignant fools and incompetents.
Merrick Garland is the furthest thing there is from a rogue AG. James, what the hell happened to your brain? Meanwhile, Georgia is bringing Trump’s criminal syndicate to justice. Stop lying to your poor I’ll-educated followers.
That’s a good question ATZ942. About the time JKH’s college speaking tour dried up (biting the hand that feeds you) he fixed his focus on identity politics, anti-wokism, conspiracy theories, etc. I hoped it was a phase, now it’s a mania.
Yeah, Weepstate – that succinctly describes JHK’s descent into the bottomless pit of bullshit promoted by the loose-minded.
“I’ll educated”
Irony for $500 Alex
Ha! Well-played. I tried to come up with something like that but drew a blank.
Yawn, zzzzz…
@ ATZ942:
Your political philosophy–and indeed your philosophy, which is also your religion–has sent millions to their deaths, and continues to do so. Your aim is the destruction all human dignity, freedom, agency, and decency.
Since it’s my observation that liberals, almost to a man, are government employees/retirees or beneficiaries, I think it’s fair to say that they support these horrors because they’re on the payroll: They do it for money. They are not motivated by a desire for truth or justice or the happiness, prosperity, or virtue of human beings, but rather the contrary.
By “they,” I mean you–and your co-religionists posting here. Most of us here can’t fathom your level of malice. You might want to consider what you’ve allied yourself with.
“….they have made a covenat with death and with hell we are in agreement. When the overwhelming scourge shall pass through, it shall not come to us: For we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”
Jim, what makes you think that a Congress, which is bought and paid for by the same powers that Merrick Garland works for, is going to impeach him? or Biden?
Good article in The Expose on the ‘wildfires’. Excellent 20-minute video with 360 degree views on the destroyed homes in Paradise, CA, without the trees being burned.
expose-news.com/2023/08/15/maui-and-the-wef-there-is-no-such-thing-as-a-coincidence/
This is very interesting Alba. I’m to the point where I definitely can believe they intentionally scorched the city to obtain the land. I hadn’t thought ahead enough to consider that they wanted to establish a smart city in Lahaina’s place. Have you been able to find any videos where the actual dew rays are in motion hitting their targets? I have just seen still shots. Video showing the rays hitting would be interesting to consider.
No, I haven’t seen anything like that, SSL. This DEW stuff is all new to me. Who knows how they manage to destroy an entire small town like that without anyone seeing it done? I don’t even know if the people were in the houses or if they’d left. Nor do I know why they’d even leave if there was no sign of the forest burning. It’s a mystery.
It sounds like school had let out and many of the kids had gone home for the day but parents may not yet have been home from work etc. Apparently the fire department did not respond at all. And strangely enough the sirens did not go off or any emergency messages. There is just so much that doesn’t add up about this. Now I am reading that people there have said that the 80 to 90 mph winds just started out of nowhere and some people felt energy waves come over them almost as if they were having seizures.
That Hawaiian fire was nothing that unusual. A firestorm caused by an ignition source( probably power lines dropped by hurricane winds), wooden houses built on top of each other, and total lack of maintenance of the surrounding grasslands. The fire swept in from the east and there was no escape to the west. . Once that fire got in among those older wooden buildings with those winds there was no stopping it. We’ve all heard about the Great Chicago fire, on the exact same day a wildfire storm in Wisconsin killed at least 2000 people. I think of Hawaii as a lush tropical island. I am surprised to read that percentage wise more of Hawaii burns every year than in any of the other 49 states. There have been unheeded warnings about this for years out there. West end Maui only gets 14 ” of rain a year and they have been below average. Look at pre-fire photos. The town was surrounded but dried grass. That fire was running like the wind.
SSL, there is a brief mention of possible DEW activity early in this video, including showing up on a weather map.
youtube.com/watch?v=aUR113G-5T8
St E – I guess it’s just a really lucky break for the WEF, then, that they had plans for making Maui their first ‘smart’ island and they can now Build Back Better where Lahaina used to be. Honolulu would be biting off more than they could chew at this point, so it will make a great prototype.
GA, I’m where JHK was a few years back. Yea, conspiracies are rampant but I really don’t put much faith in them. People are bladdermouths. They can’t keep a secret for shit. Maybe a half dozen or a dozen in a group but we’re talking huge numbers of schemers here. Public and private. I know from working in the medical end of the fire service and all the HIPPA regs. when the box pulled back in the station it was spill the beans time. Not right but that’s human nature. I used to tell the inquisitors to pound sand. I was the third wise monkey, but I was the minority.
What you’re missing is that in most cases the PTB realize that no one will believe someone trying to get the truth out. They’ve set things up that way.
If only the “millions sore-beset by the relentless effronteries of the ruling elites” didn’t think they had to vote for fat guys north of Richmond.
I must admit I love the normal world
People still going about their business with nary a concern other than rising prices and political disagreements
Regular gas @ $5.50, plugs and oil change, $1,000, 15′ extension of redwood fence, $2,500, shopping for a new car, yikes
Yet, yet everyone is still operating as if on day one of the Titanic pleasure cruise. And who wants to tell them? In fact, it’s a real joy to just absorb the total and complete cluelessness if only for a few days
The appeal of the blue pill
I think people are actually changing in subtle ways though. It’s a plan that will kinda work for a little while. What about it is particularly appealing? The apparent efficiencies of a lobotomized world are only so interesting right?
I just went to the bank to pay my property taxes and a normie seeming bank clerk was helping me.
She asked for my ID and I asked why, and she said it was a new law.
So I made a crack about laws being so strict for us regular people, whereas billionaires can launder billions without problem.
She came to life and enthusiastically agreed. I think that more people know than let on.
Because why would you? It’s not part of your job. It takes some mouthy tax payer to bring up the subject.
What new law? Federal? State?
State.
Same – went to the local USPS office to check on my father’s mail, which he requested be forwarded to NC two months ago. Hasn’t seen a stitch of his mail.
The Post Office manager tells me:
“This conversation is over. I can’t even discuss your father’s mail with you. There is a law against that and it’s there for a reason”.
“So, we’re following laws now, are we? You know we live in a lawless country, right? Do you know what’s going on in DC?”
in a booming voice, “We’re not having any political discussion in MY post office!”.
Mistake.
“Stop right there. That’s the problem. This is not YOUR post office; it belongs to The People!”
“Sir, I’m going to ask you to leave or I’ll call the police”.
“Go ahead”.
Half the crowd was aghast – the other half, “You tell him!”.
Moral of the story: We need to make them uncomfortable, read accountable.
All that drama to pick up a solicittion from State Farm, a pre-approved Discover Card, and some Domino’s Pizza coupons. Sheesh.
That is mean.
The point is that most mail is inconsequential
Edge Lord – you make a good point – taken from your first comment without need for clarification.
Let me add a little context – my presence is fearless, and it’s not an act, it just is. Gentle, but physical appearance can be menacing – at times, some are intimidated, without cause.
I will walk thru fire for friends and family but can and will choke out anyone – anyone – who means my friends or family *intentional* harm. Only takes a split second to realize I’m just to the right of Atilla the Hun.
He read me right from the get-go, I don’t fuck around, I mean business – and will not get fucked around – especially by some tiny tyrant public servant.
The manager was black, and he understood immediately, my comment, “So, we’re following laws now, are we? You know we live in a lawless country, right?” His eyes flashed at me.
Think black DA’s refusing to prosecute certain criminals. Think organized retail theft gangs of certain individuals cleaning out stores. He knew exactly where I was going.
You are right, most all mail is junk mail, but I was also questioning his competence to get mail from Point A to Point B, which seems relatively simple, one would think – a 2-mpnth battle so far.
If US Gov can’t handle that without dysfunction, one wonders what happens to anything else, even incrementally more complex. The answer is self-evident.
Again, he read me right from the get-go. I am genuinely polite, courteous and respectful, but I expect competence & efficiency. People understand that and many times I get that “Here comes trouble” look —— from the incompetent & inefficient, read gov employees.
He cock-blocked me from getting my father’s mail on purpose, for underlying reasons. His day will come. The winds are shifting, but his kind (not color) don’t see it yet. They will.
This moral of this story is the true meaning of ‘righteous.
“She came to life and enthusiastically agreed. I think that more people know than let on.” ~ Paula D
Yup.
Plugs and oil change a Grand? Man where do you live? I’ll be over this afternoon. My wifes car you change the oil from the top. Sumbitch engineers finally got warm and fuzzy. Suck out the old oil from the top and the filter is right there next to the air cleaner! Two sections fence? Two holes , a level, and a manual post hole digger. We’re not blastin’ granite here.
Sounds like your typical Ferrari dealer.
Except it would be $3500. and a two-week wait on the “special oil filter” that has to come from Italy.
Just make the tiniest face and you’ll be banned from that dealership forever. And your name and your car will go onto a blacklist.
Owning a Ferrari is exciting in more ways than one.
When I blew up my Plymouth engine, that was it for me for cars. Even my Yamaha RD350 cost me too much such as when it simply fell over (kickstand in sun-heated semi-soft pavement with a slight slope) and busted its turn-signal light.
@mitchellc:
Believe it or not, I agree with most of what you say. What I don’t agree with is your somewhat condescending attitude and snarky commenting. It’s not necessary.
Hint: Try to tone it down, and I think people would be more receptive to your ideas.
That’s not his schtick though Bill. The condescension and snark come with the package. Learn to love it. or leave it. Or you might get shot lol. I’ll never be able to get past that one.
SSL, I can deal with it, it just seems to bother other people and my shtick is to try to reduce the number of negative comments here. Lord knows, we got enough negativity in our lives as it is.
I walk around and sleep wearing a full suit of class 4 body armor, so I’m not afraid of being shot. The only problem for me is getting up in the middle of the night to pee. Lol.
Bill,
Relax. As you get older, you will find the need, the desire, the ability to get up will wane…the full bladder, however, will not share in your epiphany….
Sigh. EF, If you have any pertinent info on the subject, please help me talk to my bladder, since it’s getting badder.
“Sigh. EF, If you have any pertinent info on the subject, please help me talk to my bladder, since it’s getting badder.”
Bill,
Should I, or should I not give advice regarding your medical condition?
Depends….
Lol you are too funny Bill! I’m way too lazy for the body armor thing. I say at that point shoot your shot if you need to. When he told me that he was saying that I was too mouthy and whining. He really hates complaining. Or at least that’s what he says.
You deserve every problem that comes your way, Bill.
A lot of what Mitch says is totally correct.
I take umbrage with two idiosyncrasies:
-his claim that he sees the outcome, the grand plan, and has conjured a way to both survive and profit as if he has reached the state of dystopian Arahant
-his disingenuous and forced admission to respect the ingenuity and superiority of his masters.
He reminds me of that sinister but starstruck David in Prometheus, like right before the Engineer separates his head from his body.
The overlords don’t take kindly to those who have them all sussed out. Fate of hubris
Bobby Jr. still hasn’t noticed anything untoward going on regarding President Trump.
He needs Don’s votes
I guess today is my criticizing day. This has to do with the recent spate of negative commentary about Q.
Q has his distinct personality. He’s an excellent storyteller. Sure, he’s obsessive about grammar, but I think proper grammar is exceptionally important. Presenting one’s ideas in a clear manner makes one’s points more effective. There’s been a continual degradation in writing over the recent past. If it continues at the current pace, pretty soon writing will become unintelligible.
I’m not a perfect writer, myself. I try to write well. Just in this post, I misspelled ‘exceptionally’ with one l. However, I try to double-check what I’ve written for errors. I see some commenters writing as if they’re in too much of a rush to post. If someone does that a lot it shows me that they really don’t care about their audience. Mis-typing is ok in that it’s easy to do, is common and sometimes hard to see.
What irks me is errors repeatedly made. For instance, mixing up to and too. Or spelling lose, loose. Where I differ from Q, is I’m not obsessed enough to comment on them, though it does fleetingly irritate me. But for some reason, it’s in Q’s nature not to tolerate them.
That doesn’t make Q a bad person, so why don’t you complainers not comment on this? He could be a NAMBLA or a murderer or any other kind of deviant. If it bothers you a lot, all you have to do is scroll over.
Q is a murdering NAMBLA deviant? I didn’t know that. Now feel bad for sticking up for him.
Yes, Q:
*Now I feel bad for sticking up for him.
This is Bill’s schtick to garner attention.
He did not get enough of it when demanding the “unvaccinated” shut up and deal.
We were raging conspiracy theorists to be shut down by Bill’s “men of science” and their Davos friends. The architects of the Great Reset and Covid Hoax Bill took part in.
Beantown “The Gauleiter” Bill didn’t know where the trains were going–he swears it.
Very concern trollish.
Responding honestly to Q’s obsessive commenting—also his and BB’s pretentious assertion that it is really just all about the importance of good grammar LOLOL—is not, IMO, being rude or gratuitously negative. People could get a lot heavier with Q than they do.
Q’s obsessive behavior is quite antisocial and clogs up the thread. It is not rude to point this out.
They are both nasty little Eichmanns.
Q a murdering NAMBLA member?
I KNEW IT! His potty mouth, filth spewing fingers, and Rutgers degree tipped me off. I have good authority that the USAF’s accountants are guilty of war crimes, also….
That’s but the tip of the iceburg. He keeps a mentally disbaled and physically icapacitated man, “Peter”, in bondage, pilfering his victim’s pension and social security payouts. Peter’s only reward is a bi-annual car ride to Long John Silver’s where Peter is “free” to order a to-go bucket of the Captain’s Popcorn Shrimp. Q bills this outing to the lawyer he has on retainer.
LOL! I’ve NEVER trusted those Ruckers people, myself. New Jersey “State” University BS and all that; we all know it’s just a thinly disguised mob front. Beneath that humble grammarian exterior, Q. is a ruthless and dangerous man, not to be trifled with in the least. Still waiting for someone to start a “Free Peter” GoFundMe, complete with kitten commercials. I think the SSL or maybe lo’ t is heading that one up. lo’ t’s been super busy with his nascent presidential campaign, though; so I think it’s probably in SSL’s camp for now.
kittens and puppy dogs. Expand that audience and expand the funds. Free and feed Peter. Glitter and sparklies, smiles and tears. In this case they truly must read and weep lol!
Yes! How could I forget? And puppies!
Poor ol’ Peter will be free to run again in no time!
Diss,
Yeah! I can hear Sarah McLachlin now, warbling about how, for only 50 bucks a day, you can put Peter into better surroundings, with a loving family that would service his every need and desire.
“Free Peaty Q, and give until it hurts….
Clean up all his messes, even when he has the squirts,
Feed him shrimp and scampi, and multiple desserts,
Send the Bucks, Lira, Sheckles or Yuan”..”*
*Sung to the tune of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”**
**Of course…..
M’Lord,
Sooo that’s why Q requires Peter to wear long sleeved shirts in the sweltering summer?
To hide the cigarette burns?
Or the welts from the metal hangers. Joan Q Crawford
Peter got a seafood tower for free from a rich guy, who was paying and happy to let him order anything.
Q was LIVID.
They don’t want Peter to enjoy anything.
Textbook elder abuse.
Not quite Mary. Q’s descent into rage that fateful evening began when Peter beat Q to a misspelling on the evening specials menu. Those little pieces of cardboard paper clipped to the standard menu:
“No Peter, you absolutely can’t have the %#^*&$g Brozino entree, because there’s no such thing…w,w,wait… well I’ll be a sumabitch…he’s right… they forgot the goddamned “n”… does anyone %^*€£#g care anymore!”
“Uh, does that mean I can get the shrimp tower instead?”
LOL! That’s pretty funny, EL.
Hahahahaha!
I thought it was Bo who was furious with Peter for ordering the Seafood Tower.
Q seems pretty harmless to me. He can be super annoying when he wishes to push the envelope but otherwise his quips make me lol.
“my shtick is to try to reduce the number of negative comments here”
– beantownbill.
“What an asshole you are!”
– beantownbill.
lol zoinkers!!
I said that in response to an anti-Jewish comment, OG.
Oh! My bad, bill. I was unaware that reactions to anti-Jewish comments were exempt and treated differently than all other comments.
Equality, anyone?
Ask Bill about his Corona comments. Specifically those directed at families locked out of food stores for being “unvaccinated.”
Oh ya? Now we’re talking! Remaining pureblood is every bit as important to me as a pyramid-base Jew believing that there cannot possibly be evil Jews at the top of the pyramid.
Yes, Bill would have not liked ou.
He admonished those suffering incredible abuse at the hands of an infiltrated state government in one post, while informing us of the joys of his Mickey Mouse vacation in another.
you have chutzpah.
This is quickly becoming a Festivus “airing of grievances “
“You couldn’t smooth a silk sheet if you had a hot date…”
It’s a Festivus miracle!
I’m waiting for the feats of strength, but Bill and his bladder are really driving me to take the under
Yes, the feats of strength tend to moderate as we get older. They usually degenerate to making snide comments or observations from the comfort of the recliners. Having grown up in Nebraska, I can attest to the truthfulness of this clip. Great movie! I believe that’s Rance Howard, Ron’s dad, on the left.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywPLVZQ7Wis
Diss,
You mentioned that you were a Military Officer…
Branch
Grade
…Nation? Inquiring minds NEED to know. Also, Nebraska? Dad was stationed at Offutt in 60-61. Retired an O-4.
Hey Ely. No, I was a lowly enlisted. I “worked for a living” as we were wont to say back then. Retired a humble E-7 aircraft maintainer in the Air Force in 2003. Didn’t care for the politics at the senior NCO level. I still identified with the young enlisted too much. Grew up in Council Bluffs IA, across the river from Omaha. Lived in Fremont NE one year in 1963 while my mom was newly divorced, but my sitter’s husband was stationed at Offutt as an enlisted. Carl Newfient (unsure of spelling) was his name, as was his boys’, who was my age. They and we both moved the next year, us back to Council Bluffs, and they PCS’d overseas somewhere, I’m thinking Panama.
To thicken the plot even further, I’m the bastard son of another USAF enlisted guy from Offutt, who promptly hauled ass when my mom got pregnant back in 1957. Can’t really blame him, though; as my mom definitely had that effect on men. Se was raised as a fundamentalist Christian straight off the farm, so the guilt trip she got laid upon her was tremendous at that time. She tried marriage twice after that, with the same guy no less, and failed miserably both times. Credit to her, though; she smartened up after that.
That Nebraska movie with Will Forte and Bruce Dern without a doubt captures the rural zeitgeist there better than any I’ve ever seen. Can’t really put it into words other than to say it’s just spot on. Not “quiet desperation” as so many people say, but something else. More like simply provincial and somewhat resentful at the changes in the world.

Vladimir Putin: Ladies and gentlemen, Dear foreign guests,
I welcome you to the XI Moscow Conference on International Security.
Representatives of defense departments, diplomats and experts gathered again in Moscow to discuss issues on the global and regional agenda.
Such open, honest, unbiased discussions are extremely important and in demand today, because all of us, the entire world community, will have to build the contours of the future together and on equal terms.
We see how the formation of a multipolar world is progressing consistently. Most States are ready to defend their sovereignty and national interests, traditions, culture and way of life. New economic and political centers are being strengthened.
All this can become an important basis for stable and progressive global development, for a fair and, most importantly, a real solution to social, economic, technological and environmental problems, and for improving the quality of life and well – being of millions of people.
At the same time, hotbeds of long-standing conflicts are being inflated and new ones are being provoked in different regions of the world. The goal of those who do this is obvious: to continue to profit from human tragedies, to pit peoples against each other, to force states into vassalage within the neocolonial system, and to mercilessly exploit their resources.
NATO member states continue to build up and modernize their offensive capabilities, make attempts to transfer the military confrontation to outer space and information space, and use military and non-military means of pressure. And all this is happening against the background of the destruction of the arms control system.
The United States seeks, among other things, to reformat the existing system of inter-State cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. The promotion of the so-called Indo-Pacific strategies, in fact, is aimed at creating military-political associations controlled by Washington.
We do not rule out that they will lead to the full integration of NATO forces with the structures of the AUKUS bloc that are being created.
Hotbeds of tension are simmering in other regions of the world. And although the security challenges in each of them have their own characteristics, I repeat, in fact, all of them are generated by geopolitical adventures, selfish, neocolonial actions of the West.
For example, countries in the Sahara-Sahel region, such as the Central African Republic and Mali, were directly attacked by numerous terrorist groups after the United States and its allies unleashed aggression against Libya, which led to the collapse of the Libyan state.
What this policy of adding fuel to the fire leads to is clearly seen in the example of Ukraine. Pumping billions of dollars into the neo-Nazi regime, supplying it with equipment, weapons, ammunition, sending its military advisers and mercenaries, everything is being done to further inflame the conflict and draw other states into it.
I repeat, today it is obvious that it is possible to reduce confrontation at the global and regional levels, neutralize challenges and risks, strengthen trust between States and open up broad opportunities for their development only by combining the efforts of the international community.
We have always been and remain firm supporters of a multipolar world order based on the priority of the norms and principles of international law, sovereignty and equality of States, creative cooperation and trust.
I am confident that the XI Moscow Conference on International Security will contribute to the development of constructive cooperation between our peoples and States.
I wish you success and fruitful and meaningful discussions.
Thanks for your attention.

One wonders what the reaction of Nazi high command was to the Yalta conference when the Allies clearly articulated the looming ass-kicking and resulting post-war organization, and speculate whether US leadership has similar qualms today.
As I’ve often said, change is going to be externally forced, but is there a chance that certain domestic groups may pre-empt complete disaster, just as the German military attempted before unconditional surrender?
Glenn Greenwald shreds Nuland in his latest podcast
Chris Hedges socks it to RFK Jr. re a genocidal Israel and the Palestinians, no holds barred.
Sometimes I find Hedges a bit too anodyne and skip over. But he is on fire here, and on target. Wow.
httpX://consortiumnews.com/2023/08/15/chris-hedges-the-israel-lobbys-useful-idiot/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=603fff71-f9e8-43dd-9b47-3c0afa1b369e
The Israel Lobby is extremely powerful, in both parties. So, it is understandable that RFK Jr. not choosing a battle with them as he launches his campaign. But there really is no way around this battle.
RFK Jr. must be challenged and pressed by his supporters and well-wishers to read Hedges’s excellent summary of the disgusting, disturbing, criminal situation and take it upon himself to present these truths to the American people. Not just the truth about the covid op, but the truth about our government’s and our complicity in the maintenance of, basically, a huge concentration/death camp in Palestine.
He must travel to Palestine and see it for himself, as he traveled to our southern border.
He must then hear the question loud and clear, and answer it:
“What would your father have done?”
I don’t engage with the emotional aspect of the talmudic driven genocide in the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Rather, I recognize the countries aligned and subject to this influence and dictates are those slated for defeat. It really is just that simple.
Evil cannot create; it only destroy. It corrupts everything It touches, thereby weakening unity of purpose and making the people subject to defeat by those more disciplined and focused.
Is this spiritual realization the result of NATO’s impending defeat in Ukraine?
You certainly weren’t saying this a few months ago. In any case, you are now on the right side. You can now identify with the Eurasian Elite instead of Oceania’s.
Can one invest in Eurasia while living here, however? I heard the Ruble is now valued in mere pennies by our financial indices.
And why was his father ostensibly “done” by a Palestinian, albeit an MK-Ultra-infused / intubated one? Then there’s the irony of his uncle taking the killer shots from the front while his father took his bullets from the back.
Both ‘patsies’ were convicted in the court of public opinion of being guilty, again albeit being in the wrong, the impossible places for perpetration, their physical locations opposite of the ballistics known and proven in each incident.
Way too much weird, which is why I’ll continue to shave with Occam’s Razor.
Thinking of publishing depicted in drama, All the President’s Men on the big screen or Lou Grant on tv both come to mind right away.
However, I always liked the depiction of publishing in 1988’s Bright Lights, Big City. Frances Sternhagen and John Houseman are both fantastic as the old guard in a changing world.
The ever-stalwart and unflappable, Chris Martenson says that the US Military is now aggressively targeting the U.S. domestic population with advanced information warfare PsyOp “Nudge” operations. He uses the Maui fires as a case study. Apparently, the bot algorithms can now target people’s mental idiosyncrasies individually….
It may not be healthy mentally to live in such an environment where one is mentally under constant attack? You could end up with some very mentally damaged people?
Canada has been aggressively targeting the Canadian people. Martenson says that the mental landscape and psychological milieu of the Canadian population has been irrevocably despoiled.
Maybe, just abscond somewhere to be a Buddhist and to meditate?
Are you have trouble communicating with your AI bot “Friends”?
//////https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea5Yrmnheh4&pp=ygUVQ29uZGkgcnVjZSBmcmVha3Mgb3V0
Too much of Martenson’s material is behind a paywall. It’s too bad.
Maybe, just abscond somewhere to be a Buddhist and to meditate?
Or just unplug altogether. I used to think that they’d cut us all off using various means, paywalls, etc. But the opportunities for gaslighting are just too beneficial to pass on, especially for the youngsters. I have to remind myself periodically that it’s not my generation that’s being targeted, it’s the thirty and youngers they’re after.
They aren’t just “now” aggressively targeting us, they have been for quite some time.

Hilarious. As former military officer, I can safely say that the conspiracy mongering fringe gives its ability to direct such copious nefariousness. And as the father of tenagers, it’s encouraging to see the degree of suspicion they have of social media and the amount of unplugging they are doing as a generation. Now the boomers who think everything they read on the internet is true is who I worry about.
And as the father of tenagers – GoldenRoad

tenagers are children who are neither nine or less years old nor eleven or more years old.
Ha! I really enjoyed my tenage year.
I was friends with a military officer who said that it was a conspiracy theory and untrue that 9/11 was an inside job.
Apparently, the military brainwashes you guys. Therefore, you know less than the average person, not more.
Officers definitely. You really don’t have the luxury of being an independent thinker as an officer, especially if you’re intent on making a career out of it.
Christopher Bollyn.com This guy did the work uncovering so much meaningful truth. And paid for it. Now living in a Scandinavian country as a result.
did he ever ‘cop to’ geo engineering?
Obama’s whiz kid, Cass Sunstein, was an early practitioner and formulator of ‘nudge’ and Nudge Units. Co-authored a 2008 book, “Nudge.” Was hired by Boris Johnson’s government to get it going in the UK during the darkest days of 2020.
Sunstein, married to that redheaded humanitarian Samantha Power, current dominatrix at USAID.
I’m all dialed in re: meditations from my sailboat in mostly remote locations. If only my hide and bones will serve me well and long enough to do it.
Sunstein and Power give the Clintons and the Nudelman-Kagans a run for the money on most obnoxious power couple.
Word, Islander.
Speaking of sailboats, did Dmytry Orlov take his with him when he moved back to Russia?
I enjoyed reading about his adventures at sea.
I don’t know, but it likely was shippable. I’ve been catching him on VK and he’s been doing interviews that crop up in my browser meanderings.
Dialogue Works w/ Dmitry Orlov

Hemingway’s fiction at its core was about life and death. Living or dying went right along with writing or not writing, or not writing well.
When the writing stopped out came the shotgun and he did so, even having said this:
‘The real reason for not committing suicide is because you always know how swell life gets again after the hell is over.’
He knew that the getting swell again was finished, and that the hell would never end.
He had become empty and frail, and he heard the bells tolling the death of his writing and thus himself.
Or he had CTE
He certainly took enough head knocks during the course of his life; all while seeking out dangerous situations. Perhaps he was flirting with death, or just looking for something to write about. But there’s a history of suicide in his family(father), which probably predisposed him to it.
To this point, his book ‘Death in the Afternoon’ is a detailed, technical account of Spanish bullfighting. I read it in my 20’s (despite knowing nothing of the subject matter) and was fascinated by the accounts and the pictures; but moreover, it’s autobiographical, containing the authors perceptions, experiences and his way of looking at life and death. Hemingway valued the bullfighter who would hazard death while working at the limits of his skill to avoid it. It was a sign of genuineness.
This is so dark. It’s a subject matter that can actually still be almost taboo in some ways to discuss. My prayer for that day. Allow me to go gracefully into the night, Father. The only difference between the beginning and the end are the coordinates in spacetime.
I refer to it rather as “gracefully into the Light.” Seems a reasonable assumption, as much if not more than the other.
Old enough now (and then some) to be curious about what’s next.
Or not.
Sounds more or less like Hunter Thompson, although he certainly took drunkenness and weird behavior to previously unimaginable new heights. I hear that the tales of his drug abuse were greatly sensationalized, but his alcoholism was the real deal and plagued him to the very end. Alcoholism and prodigious writing seem to be mutual traits for many.
The police chief in Maui was the response director of the LV massacre.
He’s taking the lead as the governor is on vacation.
They really hate us
I read that too and thought it too much to be coincidence. And the governor has said that the government is interested in acquiring the burned properties. Lahaina is the ancient capital of Hawaii and so has a lot of significance for native Hawaiians. The global elites are removing native peoples from their land.
The global elites are removing native peoples from their land.
where do they get pushed to? cities? where?
I think they want to place them in smart cities?
yikes
Fascinating. Didn’t know that. And given how into the Occult they are, it makes even more sense now. People always try to co-opt the traditions of others. Christians putting the Cathedrals where Pagan holy places were. Muslims converting the same into Mosques, etc.
Yeah, I just learned about it myself within the past few days reading up on the whole situation going on there. If it truly is a takeover of that kind it does make perfect sense in terms of symbolism and cultural significance.
John H. Pelletier . His middle name is Hyperbole.
Crazy that Aussie PM Scott Morrison was on vacation in Hawai’i several years ago as Oz burned with a new ferocity and highest-ever numbers of acreage. Didn’t leave for home despite the howls of protest Downunda.
Power centers in various places on the planet. Different kinds of power, political and military.
The flat Earth theory does strike me as like a bridge too far. It is too much to take and my mind is tired. good nite.
It’s useful to have some really weird stuff in the pot, like flat earth and Queen Liz being a lizard person, in order to paint all ‘conspiracy theories’ as being unarguably nuts.
Keep a dollar bill around to meditate on. The Ancients never tired of meditating on geometrical forms. They have so much to teach us!
What is the lesson of the Pyramid? The few rule the many. Each tier communicates with the one below to pass on the “mandate” and specific orders and policies.
The Dollar adds to this basic trope by showing the Capstone as separate from the rest of the Pyramid – a Pyramid unto itself! The whole Capstone is an Eye but who or what is the Eye of the Eye?
Perhaps it’s Arthur Round Table? With an Arthur as chief presider? The circle is egalitarian, but the center is another eye. And of course this circle is above the hoi polloi – as it was in all cultures.
Jarek,
With all respect, You had too much to think last night….
You are obviously an uninitiate.
Oh, I been initiated, several times, and didn’t like it.
https://vlipsy.com/vlip/animal-house-thank-you-sir-may-i-have-another-33Lk8Zqy
Very interesting. No matter how much we want true and complete egalitarianism we have to come to terms with the fact that there is natural aristocracy.
Legend has it, the ancient Chinese Emperor Fu Hsi constructed the eight diagrams, from which were developed the whole system of ‘I Ching,’ by observing the markings on the back of a tortoise.
So much to be divined.
Yes, the symbolism of the dollar bill is quite shocking. Not that I have any. My ‘American’ aunt used to send us 5 dollars each at Christmas when we were kids and we used to get 35 shillings in exchange from the bank, which was the equivalent of 1 dollar: £0.35. How times have changed.
That does make sense.
Hmm. I’m pretty unplugged from any cable news. Just long form real journalism. Hadn’t heard this tune. Not bad songwriting construction – and I listen to a lot of country music and Americana (which is real country music done by real people getting paid less to do it). I find most of the lyrics pretty clumsy vs clever. The rants are familiar finger pointing that pretty much sums up the abdication of any personal responsibility on the part of the so called disaffected. As the product of a long line of West Virginia John Birchers I can safely say they invented blaming everyone else for their misfortune, eschewed education for religion and conspiracy theorists, and distrusted anything offered by outsiders. My guess is he ought to look southward to the rich men in Florida seeking to further divide this country.
“I find most of the lyrics pretty clumsy vs clever. ”
I don’t look for “clever” in country music.
It’s the vocal and instrumental style working together that puts over the message, IMHO.
I really love the use of violin – aka, “fiddle” – in bluegrass music. Makes me wish I had taken that up as a youngster.
The lyrics are excellent. Morrisey (not a country artist, ofc) also used simple constructions an ideas quite cleverly.
It is all about where the words go and how you say them.
😀
The song construction is quite simple. The lyrics and delivery are the genius.
I know you are a troll, but it is enjoyable to point out how far you have to stretch when spreading the Shareblue word.
Absolutely it is genius.
“Livin’ in the new world
With an old soul”
“Roger Waters or Leonard Cohen or Gord Downie could run circles around this guy with their lyrics.”
Yes but no.
This is a protest sing-song that has perfectly captured the time every bit as much as CSNY’s Ohio did after Kent State. Absolute genius.

The Conspiracy Theorists have been proven right on just about everything.

Our boy Ollie is on record believing the Israel was behind 9/11. He’s going to be crucified.
Or is he going to claim it was part of his drunken, bad boy past? Climb down from the cross? Sell his soul for the world?
I posted this long ago (during the Corona hoax), but just came across it again today.
Incredible piece of predictive programming from ABC in 2009–complete with city quarantines, masks, climate change, etc.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSIDL1TwTCU
“Earth 2100”
Interesting watch!
Definitely veers into propaganda territory as it goes on, though. No mistaking the point of view of this one.
As it goes on? The opening is one long transhumanist pre-programming special.
The fact that we lived 75% of it should scare the shit out of you.
This is from 2009.
Yep, I realize that. I was probably on board with most of this back then too. But you live and learn.
Oh, boy, they had a “simulation” game for climate change in 2008!!
John Podesta “played” the UN sec-gen.
That pretty much lets the cat out of the bag right there.
This movie was most likely hatched at that simulation.
It is all so dishonest. Deliberately confusing the viewer/public as to what is made up and what is real.
Part of the “plot” of the film seems to be that Lucy stays six years old forever. So, since Lucy stands in for the viewer, I guess that means that the viewers are assumed to have the mentality of six-year-olds.
In the Thales advert for digital ID, the happy owner of nothing is also called Lucy. They seem to be stuck on that name. I think the WEF used a Lucy too in that ad that says ‘I own nothing and I’ve never been happier’.’
I remember Sandi Adams, in her first of three sessions with Brian Gerrish on UKC, saying that the UN’s publisher was originally called the Lucifer Trust, before they changed it to Lucius or something like that.
Lucy is also, of course, the multi-million-year-old ‘mother of man’, so perhaps there’s some symbolism there too, for the ‘new man’ that’s coming.
Just saw that you mentioned the last point in your post further down. Great minds!
NYC held up as “the shining city on a hill.” Lol!
Mr. K adds an interesting take on Dick Cheney’s famous edict about negotiations at about 56:15. So true!
The opener is totally NYC.
Then also the idea of NYC as “shining city on a hill,” which is pure crap. I mean, no one ever spoke of or thought of NYC like that. So, appears to be
educated” but is just ignorant.
John Winshrop coined the phrase “city on a hill” to refer to the New England colonies as examples to mankind.
NYC, when it finally came along, was basically a mercantile phenomenon.
Just for starters we are deep in Propagandastan.
Then what about the oddness—or pointedness– of choosing the name Lucy for “our” human. protagonist. Lulcy just happens to be the name given to the remains of Australopithecus afarensis, a female ancester of H. sapiens, found in the mid-1970s and named for the popular song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.” Pop culture crap.
2:00. Ugh Podesta. A creep pretending to speak for humanity.
Jared Diamond. Don’t get me going.
“Where did it begin? The droughts? the famine? the plague? My story is everyone’s story.”
Again, total crap.
Then, there is the little “countdown.” Shorthand for “We are doomed.” “King Charles” is heavily into this doomspeakery with the Climate Catastrophe Countdown Clock. There are these huge clocks in NYC, London, Glasgow, and other cities.
Then, the Great God Obama weighs in on desperate challenges speaking over images of hurricanes, temps on maps in the 100s ya dah ya day. Fear fear fear.
In a sense it is all so crudely, so childishly, done. A comic. but it is presented as reality. Even though we are also told that “only an artist can imagine the awful future.” This gives the producers license to go wild with their imagery, designed to frighten watchers.
Will we see a Republican politico join in on the panic mongering??
More incantations of “energy climate food population pressures stock market falling, temperatures rising sixth-grader came down with swine flu”—wait, what? Swine flu?
“Jun 11, 2019 — This new H1N1 virus contained a **unique combination of influenza genes not previously identified in animals or people**.
“Unique, huh.”
It is really quite disturbing to watch. Not because of the “surface” content but because of the blatantness of the manipulations and messaging.
Kind of like a sampler. A PhD could be written on the manipulative tropes, techniques (including art and graphic), and buzzwords used in this film.
So, the famliy move to Miami so Dad can work for the new public transit company. But a few minutes later Lucy and Mom are waiting in a line for gas . . . what happened to the new life style? Or, the story continuity? The underlying message: No matter what we do to confront specific issues, basically nothing works and we are all doomed—and guilty, too!! We had all better start believing harder in “climate change”!
Lucy does start to grow up in 2030.
How the family got from Miami to San Diego is not explained, but in San Diego they start to plant a garden.
This looks fascinating, NO. Thank you for this.

Ooops! Apologies. This was supposed to be a reply to NO’s “Earth 2100” post above.
Yes, uncanny, eh?
JHK is in there! (I’m only 14 minutes in …)
😀
@night owl:
I know I said I want to eliminate negative comments here, but Jeez, when the attacks become personal, it becomes extremely difficult to do so.
Like I’ve said to you many times, you lie about what you purport I said. I’ve implored you to show me in what posts I’ve said such things, but you’ve never done so. Maybe you don’t want to put out the energy to find them? If so, you are not being fair. In America, you are supposed to be considered innocent, until proven guilty. Your lack of such a response says that innocence or guilt have no meaning to you, you just want to disparage me.
To the rest of the CFN readership: Do you think – whether you like me or not – that I am wrong to want to see the statements I deny I supposedly made? Just wondering where people stand.
Regardless of what you’ve said or didn’t say, Bill, you’ve got the right to change your mind and/or elaborate on your position as it is right now. This isn’t an inquisition (yet) and you don’t have to explain yourself to every accusation. I think we’re running the risk of doing the same things the neo-libs are doing everywhere now by turning everything into a “purity contest.”
My advice: try to stay above the fray and just keep on keepin’ on. I mostly like the motley crew we’ve got gathered here most of the time. I’ve learned a lot in the years I’ve been here. Granted, there’s a lot of sharp elbows that get thrown around, which kind of reminds me of family gatherings of old, but I guess you just have to take the good with the bad. Plus, I’ve learned that people are always going to be more contentious on the internet, where we all hide behind anonymity to a certain extent. So I grant them a little more leeway to account for that. Not to mention the fact that I’ve been quite an ass on more occasions than I’d like to admit in the past as well.
Hope that helps!
Mary, thank you. I’m glad you understand.
Should be directed just below to your reply. The way the comments are displayed sometimes makes me dizzy.
@Dis:
What, you an ass? Don’t you dare disparage Disaffected. He’s a gentleman.
Really, though your advice is good, it’s sometimes difficult to ignore. Maybe I’m too sensitive, but in my own experience I’ve found I end up feeling much better when I fight back.
I generally like the people here.
I tell my wife I don’t like people, but she just laughs at me. She says I go take out the trash (2 minutes away) and disappear for an hour because I meet somebody and shoot the shit with them. I don’t know, maybe she’s right. She usually is.
I think that is a fair ask, for sure.
Jarek often misquotes me, also, and can’t provide the quotes he’s referring to (that, of course, I’ve never said).
So I understand your frustration if you never said those things.
Pretending you weren’t there.
Snake.
I don’t see my suggestion as unreasonable, but apparently it hit a chord.
LOL.
P.S. My personal policy on people who got the jab and advocated for it is mostly forgiveness when they realize their mistake and apologize, which Bill has, several times.
I don’t see the point of blaming people who were the victims of the biggest psyops in history.
I don’t equate them with the people paid to spread the lies.
Good point, Mary. For various reasons my parents, children, sister, nephews all took the jabs. Mom & Dad get the flu shots to boot!
My gf & I were banned from family stuff during the panic in 2021 & 2022 on account of our steadfast pureblood status.
We could be bitter … but we focus our energy where it belongs. Everyone who took the clot shots is a victim, not a perpetrator. The perps need to be held accountable, not their victims.

My gf is a hairdresser. Today alone, she had a new client because his long-time hairdresser, 65, suddenly went from perfectly healthy to a massive tumour on her kidney; another client told of his wife’s recent stroke; and then yet another new client on account of his hairdresser has now quit working due to her medical issues.
News of three women out of commish in one day.
God help us.
You’re right, Bill. Yesterday I read the accusations of what you allegedly said and automatically assumed them to be true without any evidence whatsoever. Shame on me.
Now that you deny these accusations, they should be backed-up with hard evidence or, at least, corroboration. Short of that, they should cease. This is one of the final refuges of America and a man or woman should be presumed innocent until proven guilty here at CFN.
***
Dis: Well-said.
Very good. I’m glad you responded accordingly. Maybe I shouldn’t call you OG anymore, Dr. Zonk.
I’m fine either way, Bill.
Quality debate is spirited and lively. Let’s keep it respectful of all combatants and of decorum and of integrity. Once that, then let’s duke it out and may the best man win.
Cheers!
What does OG stand for?
People should be ready to back up their accusations.
Otherwise we are in Makes-Up- Shit-istan.
O.G. Hawkins – a past (resurfaced?) commenter.
Ignore Night Soil. He is vile and delights in hurling insults. Just a nasty piece of work.
Of course you have the right to ask him to prove his assertions, but he won’t do it.
Tell him you’ll wait.
Inversion 101.
Bill, Mary, and Paula.
Add in Tucsonious and we have a Dream Team.
Reminds me of the old days with Redneck Liberal (Mike Sherman?), Tekapo, and a few others.
Everything is cyclical. 😀
@Paula:
As one of the people I respect here, it does my heart good to see you agree with me. I really appreciate it.
Ooh now we’re satanists in league with the WEF who invert everything, because we asked Night Owl for proof of his claims.
Hilarious.
I have no interest in trawling comments from 2020 and 2021 to post the magic quotes.
You know exactly what I am talking about.
Your actions speak for themselves.
No, I actually do not.
I do not personally remember BTB ever saying that he hoped we died in camps or were put on the train, that’s what you accuse him of.
So it’s your interpretation of what he said.
Same thing as Jarek does.
Also false. He called us crazy and told us to stop talking about things like families locked out of grocery stores in France and here in Germany for refusing the injections.
I compare him to Germans who, post war, “didn’t know where the trains were going.”
You’ve nearly gone full Rednut now.
😀
Hawaiian culture looked egalitarian with all people feasting together out in the open, but that was mostly the nobles. If a commoner, say one of the servers, touched the King’s head by accident, he or she would be immediately clubbed to death.
A well developed medieval culture without castles or metal (as far as I know), with a Priest caste, the Kahunas. Some say the hard ass stuff came when it was taken over by a dynasty from another Island group, but I doubt it. On a third island group, Melville saw commoners grabbed, killed, and put on the fire for cooking.
Wow that is kinda scary. Best to be compliant and quiet. In European medieval culture there were times where peasants were allowed celebration and rowdiness. Maybe simply to let off steam so to speak and keep the social order buttoned up. Wonder if ancient Hawaiian culture had anything similar?
In one early Festival (the Saturnalia I think), the commoners became lords and were served by the lords not become commoners. One day. But it didn’t last into the High Middle Ages. Too revolutionary and unsettling.
I doubt they Polynesians had anything like that. It seems they took themselves very seriously. But of course they Pyramid is broad, and high nobles few. I’m sure they had fun, at least the ones away from the high Nobles.
Why did the haole Hawaiian Governor, a New Yorker named Josh Green, have to come out, fake his roots and throw in obligatory Hawaiian alohaisms, and ban property purchases in light of the “climate disaster”?
The Hawaiian’s plight is worse than the Native American’s. Their own island stolen by the parasite class.
Who elects these weasels?
The White minority is ruthlessly persecuted in Hawaii, in a way other minorities are not. The singer, Jewel, has spoken out about how she was beaten up every day at school by the Hawaii kids.
Many of the worst of aren’t the purebloods, but the large mongrel element.
Our Government will never protect the dignity and property of White citizens. The best solution would be to cede it to Japan. They would restore order and make an effort to rule justly.
That’s appropriate. I finally learned the meaning of Kahuna from CFN’s Big Kahuna.
During partying, the Polynesians would engage in wife swapping. This led to conflict because the English sailors then thought the women were just prostitutes and the husbands just their pimps or something. Partying was one thing, ordinary life something else again.
Similarly the Polynesian penchant for stealing, perhaps. It was a game to them. Not so for the English!
All of the sex stuff was gone by the time Margaret Meade got there, destroyed by the Missionaries. So she lied and pretended it was all still the same as per the order of her Master, Franz Boas.
Margaret Mead’s work was done on Samoa, not Hawaii.
I see no evidence that she ever set foot in Hawaii.
Tahiti. I was talking about Polynesia in general.
Now this makes the Maui situation very interesting:
“The Maui Chief of police, the same chief from the Vegas massacre refusing to answer questions from locals. So much more Nefertiti’s crap going on here. These locals are going to rise up.”

I noticed the spate of comments up thread dealing humorlessly with my interactions with Peter. Someone said something about starting a Go Fund Me to raise money for Peter. Please do not do this.
I want you to know that our big problem is that Peter has too much money and that is what prevents us from getting Peter into a nursing home. We must spend him down to $2,000 or less to make him eligible for Medicaid. When we retrieved Peter from Florida he had $13,500. That was all that remained from $90,000 he got from selling his house. We stopped certain insane expenditures (like two storage facilities containing nothing but junk, like two different credit repair outfits that were draining money, etc.) and with Soc Sec and a pension check coming in we pretty much leveled his on-going net worth at $13.5K.
There are several main elements to this “spend down” process:
1. A monthly pension check of $634 (attributable to his wife’s working career) gets deposited into a trust fund instead of going into his bank account. I’m not sure what will become of this trust fund money. Maybe it is paid back to Medicaid after Peter dies. Not sure.
2. Bo hired a care giving agency to handle many menial tasks involved with Peter. Primary among those tasks is cleaning up after shit-storm events, showering him, taking him for brief walks for exercise. He becomes exhausted very quickly. This costs $660/week.
3. We have a Ukrainian woman who works three hours on Wednesdays doing laundry and sundry other tasks. That costs $60.
4. Peter pays us $1,212/mo room and board. This includes a very small portion for the extra work a cleaning lady does every second week, plus a cable box fee for his TV.
5. A Soc Sec ck is automatically deposited the second Wed of each month. So money enters his account and leaves his account. Slowly but surely his bank balance declines and at the moment stands at about $10K.
When we get down to $2K we can reapply to Medicaid.
Charge him an extra k/month and he’ll be where he needs to be much sooner. It that profit bothers you, keep the $8k in trust for him (but off the books for Medicaid). Just a thought.
Someone said something about starting a Go Fund Me to raise money for Peter. Please do not do this.
That was me. Sorry, Q.! Sounds like a real headache.
Bitch please.
Get the man his shrimp towers.
This story is even worse now knowing that you’re exploiting a Ukrainian refugee.
$60?
$60?’
I know people who pay their shitzu’s pet sitter more
I get pay double this rate to visit Bootsy, a neighborhood Poodlier (Poodle x Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) and give to her the fresh water, some walk time, and sobacha yizha.
han?ba tobi, zla lyudyna!
My father had the same or similar situ in CA. In order to be eligible for Medical he had to have no more than $2,000 in a bank account.
He sent me some money. However, there was a two-year delay period—that is, he would be eligible for Medical two years AFTER he could show that he had no money. It was not a next-day thing.
So, if this is the rule in your state, Peter should give this extra money to someone else ASAP and get it out of his account.
My father also had a decent SS check coming in every month, but that easily was used up for his regular monthly expenses. The best way to help out financially was to give his caregiver gift cards to be spent at Berkeley Bowl etc. for food.
Q, if you put Peter in a private care home, his assets would be gone in weeks. Then you could move him to a subsidised facility. Perhaps your sytem doesn’t work like that.
My husband has to visit lots of care homes, both private and local authority. Occasionally he will say ‘guess how much the fees are’ at such and such (i.e. the fancy ones). It’s generally more than I ever earned. I imagine fancy US care homes are off the scale.
Luckily for the wealthier residents here (and the care home itself) they still get free medical treatment, including ‘home’ visits that other people don’t get any more.
$7K a month at my mom’s mid-tier facility. Don’t know how much money she has on hand, but it can’t be more than a few hundred $K. We’ll see what happens when she runs out, but I gather from talking to her that she just has to turn over all her remaining income after that and they won’t throw her in the street. There really are very few to no cheap options anymore. Pay as you go all the way to the bitter end.
Wow, that’s insane ($7K I mean). I fervently hope and pray never to end up in one. My flat would pay for about 30 months but I’d rather it went to my kids, barring Agenda 2030 rules to the contrary, of course.
The systems in our two countries are not as different as people sometimes think.
Also they have a habit of taking liberties with syringes in these places, which is to be avoided.
She finally had no choice. Advanced osteoarthritis, no doubt irritated by years of being extremely overweight has left her a near invalid. Knees and hips completely shot. Tremors and carpal tunnel in the hands, etc. And yet, her mind is still amazingly sharp, all things considered.
I sense from talking to her they’ve already sized up her financial viability and adjusted services accordingly too. They’re extremely understaffed as it is, but she’s already had several instances of underpaid staff members taking advantage of her, at least to hear her tell it. Small thefts and appropriations. That sort of thing.
All in all, it’s a sad way to go out after a lifetime of working hard for others. One of the best book keepers I’ve ever seen. All ten key and handwritten six column ledgers too, back before computers made it easy even for idiots like me. Impeccable handwriting even now, adjusted for the tremors. And of course she has no choice whatsoever when the clot shots come around.
Sorry to hear that, Dis. They don’t allow you much dignity. It must be hard if she’s still mentally sharp, although mostly that’s a good thing.
You reminded me that, years ago, I had an elderly aunt who had dementia back when long-term geriatric wards in public hospitals were still a thing for people who couldn’t take care of themselves any more. My mother and her younger sister used to buy my older aunt nice dresses and cardigans and the next time they’d go to see her, the nice stuff had all disappeared and she was wearing someone else’s old rags that didn’t fit her, as she was a tiny waif of a thing at that point. She’d have been horrified, if she’d had her wits about her. I know the carers wouldn’t have been earning much, but stealing a helpless old lady’s clothes is beyond the pale.
“In June of 2023, WHO and European Commission announced a landmark digital health partnership to establish a system that will help facilitate global travel and protect citizens across the world from an ongoing and future health threats. This is one of the first building blocks known as Global Digital Health Certification Network (GDHCN) that will, according to WHO, develop a wide range of digital products to deliver better health for all, and in opinions of critics a path for surveillance.”
https://twitter.com/KLVeritas/status/1690432541021413376
Some may recall that I posted about these digital heath products and service centers several times. I edited several presentations on the subject at my former Beast employer.
They are not stopping. Healthcare is going digital, and you will need CBDCs and digital identification to access services.
Unless we say no …
I sure want to say no, but how to do so in a meaningful way?
Once one is strying to cross a border and one is trying to get onto a plane is too late.
Just yesterday my bro (who flies A LOT) asserted that if you don’t let them do a biometric face scan you can’t get on a flight.
I sent him an article that said that you can refuse it, but they don’t provide this info at the boarding area.
What will be our options to refuse this shite before we are confronted with the real-time pressure?
We are nearing the point where shit gets real in Phase II of the Reset.
Globally, more and more shops are testing entry via face scan or ID scan. And the EU has more or less finalized plans for biometric identification.
All we can do is say no. Sadly, as evidenced by the initial attempt at a vaccine passport via the injections, I think many will opt in out of stupidity and/or disinterest in how this affects them down the road.
Either way, we are going to live it.
One other note of interest: Here in Germany bank branches are disappearing at an alarming rate.
Two local branches for our bank are now gone, and many others I have visited almost never have cash in the machines.
The talking heads continue to push the “cash is bad” narrative as well.
This seems to be the case also in the UK.
I have not yet noticed this here,but here is a story:
“Over 10,000 bank branches have been shut down in America since 2019, according to research carried out by S&P Global Market Intelligence.
The data highlighted how bank branch closures have accelerated in the last four years as more savers have turned to digital services.
According to the research, shared with Daily Mail US, the number of locations cut has risen from 1,417 in 2019 to 3,066 in 2022.
Overall, 9,536 brick-and-mortar branches at both small and major legacy banks have stopped operations at locations.
Experts are warning that this is resulting in certain vulnerable groups being left unable to access crucial banking services.”

I haven’t travelled abroad for years, so I’ll last a bit longer. As NO says, the supermarkets are bringing this in – not yet anywhere I shop, but Neil Oliver tweeted the other day about facial recognition cameras at the tills in a supermarket in Stirling, where he lives – he said he wouldn’t go back.
Apparently the one flagship Amazon store in the UK with biometric everything and no staff has closed down already – people voted with their feet. Not sure they will when it comes to Sainsbury’s and Tesco, though.
I haven’t had anything to eat yet today – at such times it’s difficult to contemplate the ‘starving’ option, which is easier to feel determined about on a full stomach!
I used to watch the people paying their bus fare with their phones in Portland. Many of them had a strange smile on their faces. It made them feel powerful, on the cutting edge of the the Zeitgeist! The blade cuts both ways as they will learn.
Glad to hear that people wised up and boycotted that store.
I haven’t paid for anything so far with my phone. We travel by train when we escape Edinburgh for the odd week. Every time I buy tickets online it tells me that 90-odd percent of people now use the app instead of buying tickets that come through the post. I continue to buy tickets that come through the post. although they make you pay about 5 times the actual cost of postage. You can use the tickets as bookmarks afterwards too.
Mind you, the railway service is falling apart. After our last two trips, I got a 75% refund because 3 out of 4 of the legs of the journeys were affected by delays or cancellations due to strikes or staff shortages. I don’t know how they make any money.
RON A
J Mellencamp–in the 70s or 80s he was banned from a city for throwing [a drum?] into the crowd while onstage and injuring someone.
Thanks Malthuss – not surprising. He’s a real piece of work. when he played our local venue, a girl singer accompanied him on stage – he groped her numerous times on stage while they were singing.
Plain as day and he couldn’t have cared less. Disrespectful is an understatement. Seemed like he was under the influence of something – no excuse, just an observation.
Here is a pretty interesting article, from (!!) CounterPunch. Usually I ignore CounterPunch nowadays (since they changed a lot of their spots, so it seems), but this is a useful overview of the actual history of the town, and the economic profile of the Islands before and after the arrival of the white man, esp. whaling ships, but before tourism.
In light of the current sabre rattling vis-a-vis China, the new military agreements with AU—and Hawaii being so strategically placed in the Pacific—it is not that far-fetched to think that “Someone” might want to tear it all down and rebuild with totally new electronic military infrastructure there (as Catherine Austin Fitts proposed was maybe an underlylin factor in the location of BLM –Floyd riots in the summer of 2020).
It is breathtaking, the speed with which selected places on Earth are being destroyed, supposedly by natural causes.
Sorry, forgot the link (again . . .):

I was informed yesterday that the USAF has a major top secret base up in the mountains on Maui. A sister base was mentioned elsewhere on the North American continent. But I was reminded of another research base in Norway (US Navy) I’d seen over the past several months while following a penchant for the ancestral home and what might have been had emigration not have happened.
Research bases, biolabs, the beat goes on.
People can’t even read Tweets without an account now.
Yeah Elon sure is the champion of free speech!
Hahahahahaha.
It does annoy the heck out of me, too. I don’t use Twitter, but I did enjoy being able to read comment threads on linked posts from time to time. Now it’s just “read the post” and it’s over.
Mango, Nitter may be back up soon, and is a good workaround.
NO, the other day you and JHK were referring to an Oliver Anthony song. Seems like a basic 3 chorder key of b on the dobro.
4 chorder. But yes, very simple and repetitive, not Grammy material, but a good message and performance nonetheless…
Yes, structurally it is simple, but his picking technique is moderately complicated, with a banjo-style roll in there.
A lot of that country picking stuff is that way. 4-5 open position chords, but highly refined picking patterns that require lots of practice.
😀
The banjo is African. Bluegrass is therefore, African. Oliver Anthony is a cultural appropriator. It should be a Black American singing that and getting that acclaim, but he’s as white as snow.
He calls for justice. Blacks seem more focused on reparations and revenge.
Speaking of Attorneys General around the nation, the Trump indictment game has become comical. <em”Which state will indict Trump next?!” Blah blah.
What an obvious distraction for the lumpen. All unnecessary, even if he did do something wrong. Everyone else in D.C. does something wrong every day. They’re just not currently taped up on the break room dart board like Big D is.
He’s got to be in on all of this. He knows his job is to distract and divide the electorate while other candidates are auditioned and business gets done under the table. He’ll be fine.
Headline outlets like Drudge are just sad to look at. As if any of these charges will hold up…seriously, everyone else is doing/has done the same crap without getting a second glance, and (most of them) weren’t even president.
The projection is strong with these jackasses. Sadly, many of our friends and family don’t see that it’s all theater, and cheer it on like it’s real. It is not.
The US is entering its Imperial Rome phase. This slew of coordinatd indictments is so absurd, that I can’t even believe they are doing it.
On MSNBC they were openly saying this will allow them to “get rid of Trump.”
When they don’t even try to hide it, then I would say we are at the Nero-fiddling stage.
Indeed.
The restless lumpen are now coming after Bradley Cooper for augmenting his nose to play Leonard Bernstein. Why? Because he’s a goy, and therefore it’s antisemitic to make his nose look more like the character he’s playing in the film..
His augmented nose is still smaller than Bernstein’s was, so I really don’t see the problem here.
I’ve felt for a few weeks that society is starting to regain sanity…apparently I am entirely incorrect and can go back to being purely cynical.
People are dumb, and really need something to do.
I have to wonder why they couldn’t find a Jew to play Bernstein.
Even if they had to augment that fellow’s nose (yeah, he might have already had a nose job not to look like a Jew!!).
Maybe Cooper bought the “property.”
I wonder who is writing the screenplay. Fairly recently I read a memoir by his daughter titled “Famouth Father Girl.” Very interesting. Warts and all, as they say.
As for the prosthetic nose, no one made a fuss when Nicole Kidman used a prosthetic to look more like Virginia Woolf. I think she won an Oscar for her performance (I didn’t think she was very good, and I thought she was totally miscast).
No one made a fuss when that actor who won the Oscar last year basically *became* a prosthetic to portray a grossly obese man. In fact, he was congratulated on the effectiveness of the extreme transformation. No one made a fuss when Eddie Redmayne turned himself into a cripple in order to play Stephen Hawking. Redmayne also won an Oscar.
Actors are *supposed* to do whatever it takes to convince the audience they are looking at the character portrayed by the actor. That is the actor’s *job*. To be someone else on stage or for the camera. Plenty of Jews have played goys and shiksas.
This is a typical Jewish freakout. No one is supposed to touch any aspect of Jewish identity or Jewish anything (such as history) that is not approved by Jews themselves. Well, this is the USA. If you don’t like it, you are welcome to move to Israel.
Cooper was a co-producer and I believe director. Labor of love kind of thing.
I couldn’t give a rat’s behind who plays who in a film, as long as they do it well.
Side note: violins weren’t invented for about a thousand years after Nero’s time, but I’d be willing to bet he sat on the Capitoline porch pickin’ a banjo and sipping a semi-chilled watermelon White Claw as Rome was torrefacted.
Diddled.
Nero definitely diddled
Speaking of diddling, Podesta blamed Maui on the climate can’t change
😀
” we are at the Nero-fiddling stage.”
What I remember reading somewhere is that Nero had his own “build back better” program going on, but he needed to burn Rome down down first as a way of clearing things out for reconstruction. And now we hear conspiracy theorists claiming that the Maui fire was set intentionally for similar reasons.
There are some very shady things going on there. Most of it being shared from locals on social media.
In short, the ADL is just another cog in the wheel of Big Tech censorship. Like the ACLU, the SPLC, and others, the ADL holds massive sway over what is allowed to be shared online – and now they are going after X, which Musk took private for the stated purpose of cleaning things up and stopping all the censorship – though, we are told, censorship is still the same on X or even worse, in some cases.
Keep in mind that the ADL et al. are basically doing the bidding of the federal government, which cannot overtly censor Americans because to do so would be a violation of the Constitution. So, the spooks in Washington, D.C., contract it out to “non-profit” organizations instead.

Still watching Eco-Horror 2100.
Guess who comes on at 1:02:00?
The lockdown frreakout starts at 1:03:00!!!
All of these so-called scientists are feckless disaster-porn ghouls.
They are obviously just loving making absurd catastrophic predictions (look at the gleams in their eyes!).
(Even though a major plot element is a global “experiment” in climate manipulation via jets spewing out sulphur dioxide or something that ends up as a cure worse than the problem, since all the ozone is destroyed . . Guess no one thought of that . . . . No mention of the source of the fuel for all the jets. Just one of the many logical disconnects in this Dystopia Limited production.)
John Holdren is one of the worst offenders.
He was Obama’s science adviser. Very political. And it is he who, I am convinced, totally politicized the Woods Hole Research Center (whose research focus was on the world’s forests), helming its makeover into “Woodwell Climate,” now doing “agenda climate ‘science’.”
Hmm. I’ve always known Woods Hole as an oceanography center for well over 50 years. But, I’ve never been there so could be wrong as to its primary focus.
You are right; Woods Hole is known as a center for oceanic science, fisheries, etc. Chiefly, the Woods Hole Oceanegraphic Institution (WHOI), and the Marine Bioological Laboratory (MBL), which are surrounded by a cluster of other independent and govt. agencies and entities (NOAA, etc.) plus the Coast Guard has a big presence there.
But, The Woods Hole Research Center is, or was, an independent institute founded by Georgy Woodwell, a forestry expert. Its logo was a “world tree.” The new logo of the new iteration, Woodwell Climate, is a scary “hot climate” orange thing developed, I reckon, by “brand experts.” Woodwell, a very congenial man whom I met a few times, and his battle-ax wife built up the original institute very effectively within a thirty-year period.
Now it has been taken over by the climate emergency crowd and renamed. Led, I believe, by John Holdren.
From an older website (but I think it has been massaged):
“John Holdren, who succeeded Woodwell as WHRC Director upon the latter’s retirement in 2005, served from 2009-2017 as President Obama’s science advisor.19 Following the announcement that Holdren would be joining the White House, controversial statements published in a 1977 textbook co-authored by Holdren, Paul Ehrlich and Anne Ehrlich came to light. The textbook, entitled Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment, included discussion of instituting a “Planetary Regime” to “control the development, administration, conservation and distribution of all natural resources.”20 The textbook also considered the advisability of “compulsory abortion” as a response to too-rapid global population growth.21
In response to news reports about the textbook, Holdren’s office rebutted the controversy with a statement that: “Dr. Holdren has stated flatly that he does not now support and has never supported compulsory abortions, compulsory sterilization, or other coercive approaches to limiting population growth.”22
Oops: George Woodwell.
“Woodwell was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts to parents who were educators: Philip McIntire Woodwell and Virginia Sellers.[6] He spent his childhood summers on family farm in Maine.[6] He attended the Boston Public Latin School[7][8] and completed his bachelor’s degree in biology in 1950 at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire.[6] He served as an Ensign Lt. Jg in the US Navy Fromm 1950-1953. He holds a masters degree and a PhD in Botany from Duke University. His first job was as professor of Botany at the University of Maine. ”
The rest of his Wiki entry is worth a look, mainly, his early research focus on the influence of radiation on ecosystems (forests).
Thanks for the clarifications.
Same as Scripps. I always knew it as an oceanography center, but somehow they emerged as one of the primary sources for covid hysteria in 2020.
The worst was when they arrested some guy paddleboarding all by himself in the ocean, and some Scripps “expert” was quoted as saying the entire Pacific Ocean was full of covid, and the waves were flinging it into the air, and she herself would not go near it.
WTF??! That was beyond jumping the shark, so to speak.
I’m vaguely remembering something early on about trees wafting covid about as their leaves blew in the wind!
We can never forget the fomites that CNN breathlessly reported, climbing up water pipes for 10 stories to infect people.
No corrections aired about the lies, of course.
And then we were told that a tiger in a closed zoo in NY got covid from a zookeeper who was asymptomatic.
Because zookeepers and tigers get real close and personal.
That was when they were trying to convince people that covid could jump species, and it was probably prudent to kill your pets.
They’re in it to win. No rules, not even the “based” ones they are so interminably twinning with ‘order.’
Knocked it out of the park.

Which is your favourite Bioweapons Lab? They must have accolades for people and Labs that develop humdinger bioweapons? Whatever happened to the bioweapons labs in Ukraine? There are/ were purportedly somewhere between 7 and 30 labs in Ukraine. There was that bioweapons lab in Tbilisi which specialised in pathogens delivered by biting flies. And, whatever happened to that bioweapons lab that was overrun by Mu…slim Ji…had..i’s in the Sudan?
They all wear their pristine white lab coats while on their lunch break….
“I’ve got some good news and some bad news.”
“Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has warned that thousands of “death scientists” are developing deadly pathogens as killer bioweapons in secret biolabs in America.”

Maybe this is how my flat will go, along with all the other old properties that aren’t retrofittable to meet 2030 energy regulations. And they don’t even have that much to clean up as the process seems to leave little rubble. They’re building ‘student accommodation’ around here like there’s no tomorrow. I’ve thought for a while that, once no-one can afford to be a student any more, that’s where the survivors will be put.

Wow yes. So true! Its like I keep seeing this reminder and i think about it. Have you ever heard that sometimes you don’t choose your friends? Ikr lol! Like actually , they’ve chosen you. And like, say that you initiated the convo. Well according to this theory they directed your action subconsciously.
I undergo a programming error when I see that video lol. I know its funny and I am supposed to be laughing but I just watch it with a straight face. Presumably I would need to laugh if among real humans. gnite

The Black Sun. Does she know – and know that she knows? Experience and then remember?
Many of us go to night school. But how much do we retain?
I’m not even sure why I put that star symbol there. It felt right within the moment. Good morning 🙂
Good morning, Sunshine. A Star becomes a Sun if you get close enough.

You must be humor impaired tonight, SSL. The Condi Rice segment had me in stitches!
Lol probably so. I feel more laughy today tho.
The words were almost perfectly matched to the lip movements. Looked like she was actually saying all that. The fact that most of it was (funny) gibberish only heightened the effect.
I thought that too, Dis. I began to wonder if they’d deep faked her too, as it was so well synchronised.
That was hilarious, Puck!
Tuned in to the RFK Jr/Tucker interview today. Whatever happens in the next 15 months it has been a genuine pleasure to hear someone actually speak their mind and talk about ‘verboten’ stuff like the CIA, Blackrock & friends, how things really work in the backrooms of American politics, etc. Despite his voice challenges he is so very well spoken and knowledgeable on so many subjects. I really admire him. If I were an American and able to vote for him I certainly would do so. He is a man of great courage. Not many around these days.
Then there is this thing with everything but the kitchen sink being thrown at Trump. These Dems think they are so clever, but what they miss is that despite their obvious politically motivated efforts the guy is still standing. Not just standing, but defiant as all get out. Who among us cannot summon that desire to champion the underdog in what by all appearances is an obvious ‘pile on’? Trump is like Alec Guinness in Bridge on the River Kwai. He’s going to fight to exhaustion, and if he falls forward on the detonator and the bridge is blown up, then so be it. I have to admire his perserverance under daunting aggression. This is how legends are borne..
Snagglepuss, do you have a link for that interview?
Let’s go out in a blaze of glory,
All good things must end…
What is propping up the dollar (DXY)?
Could it be Milei?
“His best-known campaign promises include using the United States dollar as official currency in Argentina and abolishing the country’s central bank ..”
aljazeera.com/news/2023/8/15/argentina-primary-results-reflect-frustrations-desire-for-change-experts
“Acting as a litmus test in the run-up to general elections in October, the vote on Sunday night clearly showed just how much Argentinians want change – and how many of them are ready to shake up the wider political system to get it, analysts said.
Javier Milei, a far-right libertarian candidate who has taken the country by storm, drew in the most support – 30 percent – and far more than any poll had predicted, raising questions around his appeal and what his rise means for the country.
“They are not right-wing votes. They are votes that are free of politics,” said Carlos Fara, a political analyst in the capital, Buenos Aires, who told Al Jazeera that support for Milei is not ideologically driven.
Instead, the candidate has drawn support from both ends of the political spectrum and held a strong appeal among young voters, especially young men. “This voter is looking for a hope for the future, and they have found that in Milei,” Fara said.”

The population does not understand that the format for life is just a man made game, but they know that things are not right.
Keep an eye on Vivek Ramaswamy.
How about some mix of Kennedy and Ramaswamy?
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ? Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)
Brilliant. “Be a man, not a mouse.”
“I think what you’re seeing tonight is one tree in a forest, and I think we are drifting towards the greatest Constitutional crisis since the 1850s, uh, and the rise of secession and the Civil War. I don’t mean that as hyperbole. Uh, if you read Andy McCarthy’s remarkable book, Ball of Collusion, which came out in 2019, he makes very clear that it is Barack Obama who corrupts the Justice Department, it is Hillary Clinton who routinely breaks the law and gets away with it. And now we have Joe Biden who’s learned, he’s learned from Obama that is doesn’t matter what you do, if you’re a liberal Democrat, you will not be prosecuted. He learned from Hillary that a person in high public office can get millions and millions of dollars. And they learned from watching Donald Trump that a true outsider, willing to take on the entire system, could destroy their entire machine. So what you’re seeing across the country, is a desperate, last-ditch effort by a corrupt machine to destroy their most dangerous opponent in a way which not only breaks the Constitution, destroys the rule of law, and establishes a moment of bitterness, uh, which I think will last for a generation or more. I think this is gonna be a horrendous period and we just need to understand: The people who want to control America and dictate to the rest of us will break any law, lie about any topic, and manipulate the system any way they can, and that includes a lot of the elite news media.”
From someone called Newt Gingrich, infamous in the 90’s.
Very trenchant quote.

Thank you.
Should Gingrich be reassessed?
The guy who trolled the Clinton administration?
I agree with that which was quoted above, and I’ll let others assess Newt.
“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”
? Harper Lee
I am an outspoken critic of “Joe Biden” because I believe that I have viewed circumstances from many perspectives, and cannot find a legitimate excuse for their actions. If any of them wish to clear the record, I’ll gladly help them up on the stump.
Even in my Green days, I always found Newt to be rather level-headed for a modernish Repub.
I heard this yesterday. It’s too bad a peaceful breakup was not negotiated. But greedy is greedy and the globalists don’t want to share power. We need our medieval nobles back. Thanks!
Someone should tell Newt that his many uhs are not to be typed.
The Dems will continue their onslaught against Trump until they get a conviction.
Hard line Trumpers, me included, better get a second choice, a plan B. His number one enemy is inside his own party.
Our judicial system is a farce, led by a farce as AG. Going after Trump for political reasons and ignoring the Mob that occupies DC, unbelievable. It used to be that when the Mob dominated a city or state, the Feds would come in and at least take out the leaders.
It will not happen in the future, as the Fed is now part of the Mob.
Watched a movie centered on the Russian Mob working in the US, the Equalizer. I know that Hollywood sensationalizes things but one message received is that the Equalizer, operating in Boston, was a vigilante against the same crimes as is being sponsored by the Dems at the border.
The Mob rules now and the elimination of Trump will remove the last impediment to their total control. Clarence Thomas is next, followed by a upsized SC.
The end result, about ten years down the road, will be having the same autocracy in place in the USA as existed in the USSR. The balance of power that has separated the US from socialist countries is departing quickly, the two party system is gone, the Congress is a joke and the SC is under attack. The Uniparty will be the same good Ol’ boys club as the Communist party in the USSR, and the media, oh yes the media, will become a rubber stamp on the presidency like Pravda.
We are 51% of the way down the autocratic socialistic path. Our decision making is by executive order and the Congress is a do nothing entity. 51%+ of the lemming public will put the Dems in control forever.
Amman
Is the crisis you are anticipating going to lead to the secession of various regions.
Look around, the idiots from the Blue states are rapidly corrupting the Reds as they move in and do not change their stripes. As I said, the Uniparty takeover is inevitable. Arizona, a bastion of conservatives is now Blue, Californication. Texas is next.
The USA is a changed country, conservatives are passé and their influence will be gone after 2024. Trump’s convictions will destroy the little influence that is left.
That will be the beginning of the end.
As Jarek would say, these guys are starting to “sing”.
“MARK LEVIN: How can a party that not only wants to increase the number of Democrats in the Senate by hook or by crook by adding two more states, get rid of the filibuster rule so they can impose their will? Don’t tell me they are standing for we the people. Don’t tell me that this is the party we count on to protect the vote. Don’t tell me that this is the party protecting documents and e-mails and texts when is the party of Hillary Clinton that destroyed 30,000 of them and was never charged with obstruction.
Don’t tell me that these bums believe in classified information when the jerk prosecutor in Washington, D.C. has been leaking information related to classified information and Bill Clinton is still free to run the countryside when he had classified information in his suck drawers. This isn’t even about any of this.
This is about a political party that sees its opportunity to seize control and destroy the constitutional construct, to embrace these Marxists in their party, to push their equity agenda to control prosecutions, to control what is justice. We don’t have a justice system, America. You and others say we have a two-justice system. No we don’t. We have a no-justice system. We may have a judge. That looks pretty good. We called them your honor, they wear black robes, and we bow down to them.
We have a grand jury system that is supposed to protect a defendant which we know is actually a tool of the prosecution. And in the cities we know it is loaded with Democrats. There is no voir dire or anything like that. Those are prosecutor Democrats. We have prosecutors, Democrats, the guy they dragged back from The Hague who looks like he should be tried in The Hague, quite frankly who has destroyed one individual after another. That’s a resume enhancer with the mob guy running the Department of Justice right now. And then of course we have trial juries in Democrat cities.
Wow! We have a prosecutor, a judge, rules of evidence, a jury. That looks so, so importantly traditional. It’s crap. They’ve destroyed our justice system just as they are destroying our republic, destroying our voting system. Destroying our sovereignty. Destroying women’s votes. Censorship, destroying free speech. Destroying the right to protest. Ask the pro-lifers. Attacking faith. Ask the Catholics. And on and on and on. This is the Democrat party.
Every part of our culture, every part of our society right now is under attack. This is a revolution. People better wake the hell up. Every revolution doesn’t have to be violent. Some of the more brilliant communists said in a country like the United States or in the Western countries, you are not going to have the proletariat rising up. You’re not going to have the middle class rising up. It’s got to be top-down. You have to take over the culture. You’ve got to take over the culture and bureaucracy and slowly but surely impose your will. That is what is happening. What they are doing to Donald Trump, they are doing to America, they’re doing to the American people. I don’t know if we will claw our way out of it but enough of our fellow citizens better understand that this is about them and their liberty. “
Mark Levin is the radio shout host..he yells.
We all have our “glitches”. I won’t hold that against him.
Remember when they wore purple? Our color revolution, red and blue together. Don’t forget the red. Our boys are part of it too, a big part.
Trump is the flawed instrument of our revolt. He’s with them to a large degree – but not completely. He has some sentimental ideas about America and freedom. That’s unbearable to them so he has to go.
In the last post, MaryQueen said “… he did not push for support of the 1/6 victims. He threw them under the bus.”.
That which comes to mind, is that Trump’s actions from now until 2024 will be throwing half the US population under the bus.
If Trump wants to serve the US and it’s population, he should get up on the stump, and start a discussion about the 2030 agenda, The Great Reset, Build Back Better, Davos, a One World Government, and forget about running for president.
Agree. That would really be to go down fighting – and who knows? Maybe triumph for all of us.
Fortune favors the brave.
More and more are starting to “sing”.
Did you watch the current RFK Jr/Tucker interview?
What is it going to take to keep a lid on all of this?
It’s really not a revolution, though. It’s WWIII, against the citizens of the western world (mostly).
We don’t have a revolution. So far we are just sitting ducks. Most people don’t even know there is a war on them, even if their house spontaneously blows up, or their kid keels over from a heart attack after the jab.
Just consider what happens if the speculation/conspiracy becomes definitive.
“Definitive” like the last thirty years?
“Most people don’t even know there is a war on them, even if their house spontaneously blows up, or their kid keels over from a heart attack after the jab.”
Indeed, Mary. I think if Bill Gates himself fetched up at my brother’s door with an armed guard and a loaded syringe, he and his wife would be really touched at Bill’s kindness and gratefully roll their sleeves up. I’ve never been so shocked, over a period of time, as by my brother’s complete imperviousness to the truth. It’s as if he and I speak different languages. I gave up most of a year ago. It’s weird, because (surprisingly to me) they get the trans lunacy, but for everything covid related, it’s as if I’m speakin Urdu. It’s the stuff of nightmares.
So sorry about your brother, GA. How maddening. When I talk to my family members, I don’t bring up anything, even while they whine about their new-found immune system problems, and get “covid” over and over. Yes, they are all jabbed. Jabbed their kids, too.
One brother knew better but got the jab because my mom told him to! He is so unhappy now, he has all sorts of nagging problems.
In any case, we’ve done what we could. I did tell my fam I wasn’t getting the jab, and exactly why. I also shared my stats with them, showing the CDC and World-o-meter numbers showed that Covid wasn’t even a pandemic, by definition, with less than 1% dead, and the numbers vastly exaggerated and pumped up. The biggest death percentage I could get was 0.27%. A pandemic is at least 4%. But whatever….
People want to stew in their fake belief that the monsters that are attacking them actually “keep them safe.” It’s just bizarre.
“This is about a political party that sees its opportunity to seize control and destroy the constitutional construct, to embrace these Marxists in their party, to push their equity agenda to control prosecutions, to control what is justice. We don’t have a justice system, America. You and others say we have a two-justice system. No we don’t. We have a no-justice system.” TPTB
Huh? That is delusional. It is just bullshit, especially
“What they are doing to Donald Trump, they are doing to America, they’re doing to the American people. I don’t know if we will claw our way out of it but enough of our fellow citizens better understand that this is about them and their liberty.”
The guy committed his many crimes in plain sight yet you cannot see them. The Cult is strong with you.
51 ‘intelligence’ experts were either incompetent, or flat-out lied. Bill Barr should have known about, and of all people, Joe Biden.
The Cult is strong with you.
It is not socialist, John. It appears there is no plan B. The best hope is that the beast system collapses under the weight of its own stupidity and bankruptcy. That is actually the most likely outcome it would seem. Until the globalists experience actual pushback in the interim their reign of terror will only get worse.
Wonder if a Yellowstone eruption might be the total end of the USA?
Where’s that one coming from, JAZ?
I’m betting on a double whammy. A large CME (coronal mass erection) followed by the dreaded Yellowstone eruption.
I see what you did there, stelmo.
A large CME (coronal mass erection) – stelmo

Back in the day I used to get large coronal mass erections but, alas, those days are gone. 😉
Q…you get an A+ for poor humor. And take good care of Peter…he’s my chosen running mate in 2024, as readers of this blog know.
As for Donny Trump, he gets an A+ (I still give grades) for thinking and acting outside the box of “normal” human behavior. Septigenarians everywhere should be awed by the stamina of the stable genius. His longtime enablers seem to be abandoning him, leaving him to pursue life on his own, the way most adult humans do. As Jimbo would say, stay tuned.
As for Joe Biden, of all the “isms” in the world, ageism is the most prevalent and least discussed, because it kinda sneaks up on everyone. Sure, Joe should retire…most octogenarians are “retired”.
But Joe’s still got plenty of enablers to turn his cranks, and they can’t break away from the horrible morass Amerikan politics has become. Blogs like this give (almost) everyone a chance to rant and rave. That’s a good thing in a world where (almost) anything goes and (almost) nothing seems to matter. And as Jimbo would say, stay tuned.
My, my, my, it’s a newly loquacious lo’ t! Keep this up and you’ll be shoo-in for sure!
The ring of fire has been VERY active in the last decade.
There is a mile wide and long bubble in Lancaster that is slowly rising.
Many Scientists now think the glacier melts are due to volcanic activity..
It could be. It would be massively cataclysmic from what I read a few years ago. But how do they know?
My prediction is that the PTB need to ramp up their game even more, though. What better natural disaster to “set off” than that?
Those psychotics would think nothing of doing that at all.
I really do think they might drop an a-bomb somewhere soon and claim it was Russia or something. Because people didn’t wake up after 9/11 and Covid, they feel very empowered, no doubt.
MQ, how do you sleep at night. The sky is not falling. You see a destructive monster around every corner. Same old same old.Chemtrails? What a joke of a theory. Sure they ran us with the Covid.Lots of people see the scam/ grift/ fake news for what it really is. ? Don’t pay attention to the doomslayers on the internet. Hurricane Andrew hit in ’92. Cat 5. I wrote a song about it. If it was 100 miles north it would have hit Miami. Big deal.Total destruction. Call me a terrible cynic. Miami no loss as far as I’m concerned. Of course I don’t live there. I hate Florida. Well South Florida anyway.
No, I actually don’t. I go by what’s been done, and predict what they will do next.
I’m actually not worried or paranoid, simply observing.
I know they will do something, because that’s what they do.
Or did you sleep through 9/11 and the Covid Hoax?
The Boston Marathon hoax, the Jonestown Massacre hoax, the Oklahoma city bombing hoax, etc. etc.
They WILL do it again. And then I will be back to tell you I told you so.
All these hoaxes! You’re sounding like Trump now.
Shooting at a funeral home in Chicago.
Two men badly wounded.
C’ Mon man! We need programs! midnite basketball. summer programs
to cool youths off.
Open the fire hydrants. Attach hoses and use the water to knock Whites down. That’s what was done to Blacks, remember? By the police?
Until they get their reparations, every White is fair game. And they’ll be back for more in a jiffy. Rodney King went through his three million dollar settlement in about two years.
And three million was worth more back then. But it was still just chicken feed even then! They cheated Rodney.
yutes
Malthus, business was slow. They were running a BOGO sale. Jarek I think it was the FF’s running the water lines on the rioters. Remember when the Flint, MI Police Chief got in the pissing match with the Public Works Head over the tainted water. I think the Police Chief said, “What the hell is wrong with your guys? My boys are supposed to put the lead in the N*****s!”
OH MY
Shooting at a funeral home in Chicago.
LOL! Now that’s what I call efficiency!
often the shots ring out but miss or are non lethal.
Practice makes perfect! But the idea of shooting them right in the funeral home makes a certain twisted sort of sense.
Have you heard rumors that the “Biden” regime is about to decree a climate emergency? The other day in an interview he said the military was going to help with it. The rumors essentially go something like they are going to ration food and energy and essentially there will be lockdowns and shutdowns similar to or worse than covid. Some people are saying the decree is coming next week.
SSL…I hadn’t heard that, but I tend to think it’s a rumor. Thanks for the heads up.
Ok, well just keep me posted if you hear anything. I don’t trust those people. They wouldn’t be doing it for the “climate” imho.
I would think there would need to be some sort of precipitating event, SSL. I don’t think even the neo-lib woke-tards are stupid enough to fall for something like that without it – YET. Not sure the military, especially stretched as they are – would go along with it either.
“the military was going to help with it…”
SSL,
If you have pearls, you’d better clutch them.
SSL, who are these “some” that are saying that?
IMHO, I believe that the precursor to such an announcement or big move would have to be a REALLY big psyop event. It would also have to be a “natural disaster” that is scary enough and huge enough to push people into allowing themselves to be locked down again for the good of the planet.
They already proved they will suffer being put in solitary confinement to save others from getting a cold.
So you can imagine where this is about to go, if my prediction is correct.
I would hope they wouldn’t try to set Yellowstone off, but if they did, they’d blow up half the Pacific Northwest.
How would they ‘set Yellowstone off’? Jewish Space Lasers?

Will it do worldwide pandemic lockdown?
Climate lockdown, maybe.
depopulation agenda.
JAZ, the only thing different today is the target. No one cared when it was someone else being served the shit sandwich.
But now it’s the heritage population, ironically the current ‘native americans’ getting the same exact treatment as the former.
You can label the next generation as gimmes, but thow are these aggressive colonialists any different from the first waves of Western migrants who claimed everything for themselves via government land granted.
I’ll say it again: live by the sword, die by the sword. You and everyone else who benefitted from the western system enjoyed the benefits of the not-so hidden imperial power structure that enabled the accrual of global wealth.
Now the worm has turned and Fortunas wheel is spinning. You can either complain, or be a player with grinning acknowledgement of a well executed play.
For Mitch, morality is a function of power. Might makes right in his world. The Russians are winning, therefore they’re supposed to win and are the moral ones.
Imagine this guy voting. He can’t stand to “waste” his vote on someone who is not going to win. There are lots of people like. Voting is just sports betting to this kind of psychology.
Does he, though, Big Kahuna? I just re-read what MC posted. He puts forth his analysis of today’s invasion of North America vis-a-vis the previous (i.e. our) invasion of North America.
In his comment, he makes no mention of right v wrong or good v evil. He simply analyzes reality.
***
The same thing happened to me a while ago when I explained that Putin’s strategy made sense [start small (90k troops), see how NATO reacts (escalation), then ramp-up (750k troops)].
But, because I said that, it was wrongly assumed that I love Putin and that I think that he’s a great guy!
C’mon, CFN, we can do better than that. Acknowledging our foe’s strengths and odds of winning is (unless indicated otherwise) purely objective in facing the reality of our situation and must be presumed as such.
The right v wrong of us Europeans losing our lands is a completely separate topic than is the fact that us Europeans are, indeed, losing our lands (i.e. reality).
A few days ago he spoke about the evil of Oceania. He never talked like that before, seeming to eschew all morality.
All of a sudden he says Eurasia are the good guys. I can come to no other conclusion.
Understood. You are looking at a track record of MC comments while I am looking at just the one above.
MC, please weigh-in. Are you merely saying that it is or that it is and that is right & good?
I’m a double native because I have some Native American heritage + European heritage. I guess I am experiencing another programming error because I am not acknowledging the well executed play with a grin. More like an expressionless gaze. You know, you’re living by the sword to.
” I have some Native American heritage”, Lizbeth Warren is that you? Shall we share a beer?
Uh, gimmes are aggressive colonialists?
When pigs fly.
Gimmes are government dependents with little or no ambition.
Grinning acknowledgement? Never, disdain and hatred of what these people have become is more like it.
The USA is becoming a pig sty where the inhabitants just wait for their slops.
Then they fly!
Hard times make hard men.
Hard men make good times.
Good times make weak men.
Weak men make hard times.
Rinse. Repeat.
And I believe that we have, right now, hit Peak Weak Men.
It sounds nice, but it isn’t true.
Character comes from within; the times simply make it clear to observers.
Just like the past few years have done. The weak were exposed.
And boy are there a lot of them–including here.
Hey NO talk about fake news. What is this? Hendrix was a lefty! Trump played a Strat right -handed.
httpx://sadanduseless.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/trump-history10.jpg
A bridge too far!
It’s not true but you completely agree? I don’t understand.
Please keep in mind that I am describing society as a whole and that I’m not saying that today is absolutely 100% weak men. I’m saying that in society’s ebb and flow, we have way more weak men now than … probably since the fall of Rome.
I don’t completely agree. I disagree, as written in plain English.
“Just like the past few years have done. The weak were exposed.
And boy are there a lot of them–including here.”
That completely agrees with what I am saying in plain English.
The statement around which the post revolves is found in the second line of the post.
The rest of the post builds off of that core statement.
The times make the character (already present) of a man or woman clear to those around said man. Just as we have witnessed in the past few years.
The weak fell for the propaganda, took the shot, often viciously attacked those who trusted their own cognitive faculties and resisted, and those who have not repented will continue to do the same.
Those who were fooled and have truly repented I would place on the same level as those who held strong, as admitting error is also a sign of character and moral values.
We are clearly not on the same page as to what I am saying. I am referring to a cycle that plays out over centuries and even millennia while you’re talking about last year.
What you are saying is something you read on the Internet and that you thought was clever.
Don’t tell me where I read things and what I think! Holy …
The balls on this guy!
Many things are clear to THIS observer, Night Owl – the most obvious one being that your toxic arrogance makes you shit all over the board. You just cannot help yourself.
As well, I can easily predict the response this will receive from you.
Thank you, “Rooftop.”
I assure you, I wear this as a badge of honor.
Only one of us has been banned, and it isn’t me.
😀
Well Zonk, I’ve lived in decidedly good times. I can assure you I am not a weak man.
I’d like to know your birth-year to properly respond … but that may be too personal. I’d put the pivot-point at 1971. People born before Nixon pulled gold-support out from under the US$ were good people making good times. Then the pivot. Then kids starting telling the parents what’s what and Ozzy rules and Hell’s Bells at stadiums during tv commercial breaks.
That’s what I think. 1971.
Zonk, I said I lived in good times. I was born in 1957. In 1957 the birth rate was the highest in USA history. I grew up in good times. Graduated High School 1975.. Biggest class ever in my town. The thing is everyone bitches about the cost of living these days. Sure because people have too much shit,. My family had five kids, lived in three bedrooms without AC, one used car, one B&W TV. in a 1600 sq.ft. 1920 Colonial house. My Dad would walk to work if my stay at home Mom needed the car. Now Ken and Suzy Cream-cheese have a 4-5 bedroom McDonald house, 3200 sq. ft. 2 kids, a $100,000 Ford F- 150 and a $50,000 Honda minivan. A TV in every room with a 75″ in the living room. The kids have cars and the folks go to Hawaii or on a cruise every year. No wonder they’re broke. I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.I picked tobacco at 15, I worked in an iron foundry at 17 and welded gas pipe at 19. Pressed grinding wheels at 20 and started fighting fires and picking up stiffs at 22. So take your hard man BS and shove it up your pimply fag ass .
Huh? Your life’s story completely supports what I am saying. You were born in 1957 and were a hard man who made the good times that made the weak men (those born after 1971) that you are now making the bad times.
Please note that my butt is blemish-free. I have always been blessed in that respect.
*You were born in 1957 and were a hard man who made the good times that made the weak men (those born after 1971) that are now making the bad times.
And, you do understand that we can make general statements about demographics (i.e. Baby Boomers) that are both true but do not apply to every member of that demographic, right?

“If black people are better at basketball, explain Larry Bird!”
Zonk are you fucking obtuse or just illiterate? I was born in the good, easy times as I stated.Perhaps the best of times. I lived the life that only a King could dream of in the past. Myself and my fellow time travelers. Most of the people I know my age are not soft. You say good times produce soft men. I call BS on your time frame. From 2000 on maybe not so much. Bunch of pussy hat wearing motherfuckers as far as I’m concerned. Sumbitches can’t get their puss off the phone screen
You cannot see the forest for the trees because you are making a social linchpin change moment that built for centuries all about you!
Yes, hard, good you and the hard, good people your age lived and built and bettered the good times that the hard, good people built and passed unto you.
The good times that you maintained and furthered, however, have now spawned the weak men born into those good times. They (those born after 1971) now lead us towards bad times.
We completely agree while you cannot take one step back to see it.
Mitch has to get off the dope box.
It’s pretty obvious none of you have ever played competitive sports.
When someone copies your technique(s) or style of play, or spends time practicing and getting better to the point of presenting an effective challenge, only pussies pout.
JAZ has this romantized view that Euro immigrants were some kind of noble breed in search of opportunity to fully express their potential “doG given rights”.
Consistent with this pov, the past contrasts with the current wave of immigration which is driven by the desire to fully exploit the benefits afforded by the public dole.
The reality is, there are always some number of slackers and losers, and a (smaller) percentage of ambitious hustlers; today is no different.
The heritage population got outplayed and are complaining the whole way back to the locker room.
The USA is still the aggressive, expansionist empire it has always been. You can either be part of the movement, or you can bitch and complain.
That’s not say we will prevail in this global contest; in fact, we may well lose. But trying to reshape history to fit your particular peevish snit only makes you look weak.
“It’s pretty obvious none of you have ever played competitive sports.”
Wrong.
Not only wrong but childish and ridiculous.
Not your best.
Who is “none of you” directed at, and why?
I have played a lot of competitive sports.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
I’m with Bill above. If someone says you said a certain something they should be able to prove it, cite the time and date of your statement. No lies.
The other day I dredged up some ‘old hat’ mystics. I didn’t mention a contemporary, the great Bob Dylan. His music often seems to come from another place and time, it’s often poetic, spiritual, and symbolic. He is simply uniquely creative.
Bruce Springsteen is in another category and has done a lot of good stuff outside of the so called ‘arena rock’ genre.
Saw the Navarrete-Valdez fight last week. Two pretty good Mexicans going at it. Nothing like a good fight. Love the fury of Tyson and now we have the big Brit Tyson Fury. I guess size does matter.
Some call boxing the ‘sweet science’, I prefer the savage science. Remember when Emile Griffith killed Benny ‘Kid’ Paret? Paret died about a week after the fight because of the beating. And Emile was bisexual. Go figure.
And remember when that sculpture of chiseled stone Ray ‘boom boom’ Mancini killed the Korean Kim Duk-koo? Savage. Remember when Tyson went cannibal on Holyfield? Savage.
So many greats. Louis, Dempsey, Frazier, the showman Ali. Yeah, smokin’ Joe the jaw breaker, right out of Philly. Mike Tyson right out of Brooklyn. Maybe my favorite, Sugar Ray Robinson. See his classic left hook against Gene Fullmer on you tube. A thing of beauty with its savage elegance.
Carmen Basilio, Julio Cesar Chavez, Sugar Ray Leonard, etc., etc. It was the great Roberto Duran who gave Sugar Ray his first defeat. Forget ‘no mas’. Sugar Ray started playing the monkey.
I don’t like Floyd Mayweather. Gotta run.
Let me leave y’all with my favorite punch, the crippling body shot to the liver with a left hook. Something in the body short circuits, you’re drained and just can’t continue. Many, including Oscar de la Hoya were dropped by one. Savage.
Peace my brothers.
I am reading a book about Tom Waits. years back he would be seen walking near UCLA [ u cee lotsa asians] in black clothes.
Good for you, and thanks for mentioning him. Just listened to a couple of his songs and will listen to more.
Personally, I liked Rocky Marciano, a local boy. Boy, was he tough.
The Brockton Blockbuster. Retired undefeated, 49-0. 88% kos. About 5’10 and 185, he almost killed 6’4 Carmine Vingo. Beat a faded Joe Louis and is said to have cried after he did so.
Leather tough, but not panther quick like Johnny Yuma.
When he died in the plane crash, he was with Frankie Farrell, son of the mob boss Lew. (???).
Q, as a distinguished alumni, can you not go down there and knock some sense into their heads?
//brownstone.org/articles/rutgers-to-disenroll-students/
Smells like a lawsuit to me. I wonder if it applies to online and video extension classes as well? That would damn sure be unreasonable. The Convid fight lives on.
Q, as a distinguished alumni, – Paula D
==========
Paula, for starters, I am an alumnus (singular) not an alumni (plural).
I agree with you though. This new revived mandate is an absolute outrage. Unfortunately I have not one iota of power over TPTB at Rutgers. RU is as liberal an institution as you will find anywhere.
If I could somehow arrange it I would have every student resign from the school on the first day of classes later this month. Of course, that will never happen.
I do intend to write to RU’s president to express my outrage.
I just used an on-line form to contact Rutgers’ President Holloway and sent this message:
President Holloway,
Regarding “Rutgers Set to Disenroll Students on August 15th if Not Compliant with COVID Vaccine Mandates”
I am an alumnus of Rutgers Graduate School of Business in Newark, evening class of 1978.
This article was just brought to my attention and I am utterly outraged. How could you do such a thing!? If I had the power I would have every RU student resign from the school on the first day of class this fall.
Hypothetical:
“President Holloway,
I am writing this on behalf of The Man They Call Zazelle (hereby further abbreviated as Zaz) who is not and would never be an alumnus of your, and I quote, ‘Silly institution even if they paid me to be. Well, ok, if the price was right. I wouldn’t come cheap, though, I can tell you that!’.
Regarding ‘Rutgers Set to Disenroll Students on August 15th if Not Compliant with COVID Vaccine Mandates’, ‘Go right ahead.’, says Zaz.
As far as he’s heard, it is possible that in the process of civilizational decay, there will be far less universities with far less people able and/or willing to pay the tuition which will increasingly have universities in general enter a world of irrelevance, like many things. ‘Rutgers might just be trying to get a leg up on that eventuality. Collapse now and avoid the rush.’, suggests Zaz.
I am an alumnus of Rutgers Graduate School of Business in Newark, evening class of 1978 and even though I am utterly outraged by the news, Zaz couldn’t care less and, as he briefly reflects on it in between sips of his favourite drink, even feels a vague sense of smug satisfaction, or schadenfreude if you will, about it, ‘given in part the ostensible rackets that many universities have become’.
Suffice to say that he is inclined to agree with my contention that I would have every RU student resign from the school on the first day of class this fall.
Best regards,
Q. Shtik”
I listened to the whole Carlson-RFK interview.
Regarding RFK’s final statement—what he says his father said to him and his siblings upon returning from Mississippi—I just hope RFK Jr. can be brought to understand that the Palestinians and THEIR children must also be “his people.”
httpX://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2023/08/14/full_interview_robert_f_kennedy_jr_talks_to_tucker_carlson_about_secret_service_neocons_assassinations.html
IMO, unless RFK runs with Trump, there is no point in him running, other than to continue to point out facts uncomfortable for normies, and these dissections of somewhat irrelevant issues are a waste of time for everyone.
Any incoming fraud aside, I don’t see his path forward. He needs to get through the Dem primary, and the knives are out. If he does that, he will have to stand across from Trump on national TV, and, superficially, he has too much stacked against him: shortish (not even 5’10”), not blonde, voice issues, etc.
Ever since the advent of televised campaigning and debates, the superficial has been more important than just about anything else.
“there is no point in him running, other than to continue to point out facts uncomfortable for normies”
I believe that that is exactly what RFK’s campaign is all about. They are waking us up now. It’s weird for us insomniacs who were up all night. It’s almost show-time!
And here I thought he was running to win the presidency.
That’s me learned.
I said, “I believe.” You, of course, are free to believe whatever you like but your goofy ridicule of me will not cause me to waver.
You think I care if you waver?
Waver away.
Ha! “Go waver yourself!”
Anyway, I believe that there is a whole lot more afoot than RFK trying to be the Democratic candidate next fall. I believe that he is playing his role in waking us up.
I don’t expect you to be “learned” from a couple sentences of my beliefs so this would go way better if you were not an ass, imho.
This has got to be OG.
You are insane.
Wow! This guy is the minister of off-the-beaten-path. He’s way too smart for MSM and knows that the only correct path off of the highway in a vast wilderness is his path so he ridicules and ad homs anyone on a path other than his! Sight unseen.
Tsk, tsk.
You can question my sanity all that you like, NO, but keep in mind that even madmen are entitled to their own opinion and often madmen were later proved correct.
***
For those interested in my beliefs that RFK Jr (thanks, GA) is playing his role in waking the sheeple and that we may even be seeing JFK Jr again soon, I suggest that you listen to SG Anon, Derek Johnson and Juan O Savin over at the ‘Chute.
SG Anon is my favourite. Here is his latest audio file:
httpX://wwwDOTbitchuteDOTcom/video/XQzC9QGBf8GY/
Well, I may listen to SG Anon tomorrow, as it’s 2 in the morning here, but in the meantime I’m trying to figure out which position is the less plausible.
RFK Jr seems sincere (I know that doesn’t prove anything). And it seems to me that for a psyop involving waking up more people, you’d pick someone who was easier to listen to, perhaps.
I’m wondering what the purpose would be of ‘waking us up’ anyway, other than the way you might shake the drunken condemned soldier so that he might more consciously appreciate being shot at dawn.
In the world of Q Anon, there are Black Hats and White Hats at war. RFK Jr is indeed sincere in his White-Hat role to awaken the sheeple as to what the Black Hats have been up to for these past few centuries.
RFK Jr is perfect for this role both as a vaxxed-fighting lawyer and as a descendant of Camelot. Also, the more you listen to him, the less drastic is his voice. You get used to it – at least I have.
Everything is measures and counter-measures. The Black Hats push their Ukraine, mRNA/depop & CBDC agenda while the White Hats awaken earth to expose the Satanic Black Hats for what they are: true evil.
Don’t worry, though. In the end, God wins.
*vax-fighting lawyer
” You can either complain, or be a player ”
” You can either complain … ”
In my experience and / or perception it is the most aggressive , ambitious , and most privileged who complain the most , and by a very wide margin.
” … or be a player ”
The basic and fundamental problem with being a player is that nobody has psychic powers.
For example , I’m pretty confident in saying that if you had told the average American with an income of 50K + in 1980 that in a mere 30 years they would be sucking the knee caps of a Transexual Pakistani they would have called you an idiot.
For another example ,
I recall being told by a school teacher in the mid – 1980’s that anyone who didn’t learn about computers would be left behind.
Today , there are ten year olds who never took a computer class who know more about a computer than people who took thousands of dollars worth of computer classes in 1986.
For another example , if you had told a Leningrader ( a Bolshevik Party Member 1905 – 1925 ) that in 1934 they would be put up against a wall and shot by Communist party members who were five years old in 1917 , they wouldn’t have believed it.
As likewise , an Alter Kampfer ( A Nazi Party member 1919 – 1934 ) that in 1934 they would be put up against a wall and shot by Nazi Party members that JOINED THE PARTY LAST WEEK they wouldn’t have believed it.
The list just goes on and on ,
and I didn’t even have to go any further back than the past 100 years.
Zonk and NO…boys, boys…mama sez settle down.
” That’s what I think. 1971. ”
Dr . Zonk
I agree .
Though I would not have called it a pivot point.
What I have said is that it was the United States that lost the Cold War.
And maybe even the Revolutionary War.
Well , since you mention it ,
in my opinion the rot in the Western World set in in a big way the day the aristocracy sold the peasants the idea that —
— Everyone his own Traffic Warden is crazy
— But everyone his own Pope / Magisterium is reasonable and sensible.
i.e. AD 1523
” Uh, gimmes are aggressive colonialists? ”
Yes.
Absolutely.
For example ,
Currently half of your Gimmes , or wanna – be Gimmes ,
Flatly gloss over the fact that 70 – 100 years ago 70 – 90% of the population that they call the ruling or privileged class were in fact Trailer trash or peasants.
And the other half of your Gimmes , or wanna – be Gimmes ,
Flatly gloss over the fact that 70 – 100 years ago 70 – 90% of their grand parents / great grand parents were Trailer Trash or peasants.
* correction ;
One – third , instead of half of all Gimmes.
The last one – third of Gimmes or Wanna – Be Gimmes boast that their grand parents or great – grandparents were Trailer Trash or Peasants ,
but they pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps , a rag to riches story ,
except the story is a complete fabrication.
” .I picked tobacco at 15, I worked in an iron foundry at 17 and welded gas pipe at 19. Pressed grinding wheels at 20 and started fighting fires and picking up stiffs at 22 ”
I Love statistics !
Like —
Only one in three will live to see age ten.
Of the lucky one in three , they can look forward to an average life expectancy of 40.
At death , their typical net worth , if fortunate , will be somewhere around fifty dollars.
In a society where two – thirds live in dirt – floored shacks and go bare foot in winter ,
never the less one – third will never marry , not because they are sexually nueter , or Queer , but simply because even with such a low bar they are still too poor to afford marriage.
Of the ones that can marry , as eluded to they can expect to see two – thirds of their offspring die ,
and can expect to be widowed at least once.
And , best I can tell , this is still the average on planet earth in the year 2023.
And , best I can predict , will soon be the norm again in the small part of the world where this is not the norm at present.
as eluded to – Kesa
==========
This is a quiz:
Which of Kesa’s three words is incorrect?
Loath as I am to play your game, Q, it’s “eluded”, which should be “alluded”.
Hey , I was just sitting here thinking ;
” Nobody loves me today ! Nobody wants to play with me today ! 🙁
But then you showed up and —- obviously you paid attention . 🙂
(
I faithfully read your ravings, and devote serious thought to them.
Railing against government is easy when you’ve never been part of it.
Changing it isn’t easy, even if you have.
Ask Donald Trump.
I don’t know , bitching about the Cheerleader Mafia seems easy enough when you ARE a part of it.
For example — and this has happened to me at least a hundred times —-
I’m in a room with nine other people.
I’m the only person in the room who says I hate the fucking police , I don’t trust the police any further than I can throw them , etc.
The other nine people claim the police are supranormal , their shit don’t stink , and things in that vein.
So the police do something perfectly normal , predictable , and commonplace.
So it’s the other nine people who defend their actions ?
Nope.
No , their sole defender is the girl who numbers among her song favorites , ” Fuck the Police ” .
You would think that in a world where being one of the cool kids is so exceedingly valued ,
that there would at least be fidelity to that ?
No , the more a person fits in and is popular , the more likely they are to be , and the greater the degree ,
that they will be backstabbers.
” …. or be a player ”
Really , this whole self – improvement , meritocracy , inspirational , results – oriented , survival – of – the – fittest schtick ,
is one of my favorite ruminations. 😀
In my own lifetime —
( I’m not a hundred years old )
— I recall when , at least to a few people ,
George Armstrong Custer was still a hero , or even a martyr.
Today ?
( Not a hundred years later )
Even people who fly U.S. flags in their yards , wear MAGA hats , and get all righteous telling you that you owe everything to people who got shot for your freedom , and get all butt hurt if you suggest the issue might be a bit more complicated than that,
call George Armstrong Custer an asshole.
You know , that guy who got himself shot for your freedom.
By the way , it has been what ; barely three years since Confederate monuments were vandalized / erased ,
but ; old George Custer fought in the American Civil War.
Guess which side he fought on ?
( Hint ; His uniform wasn’t grey or butternut. )
But , yeah , still an asshole.
Given what I have seen a hundred times in my brief , less – than – hundred year lifetime ,
I wouldn’t be surprised if next week the final verdict on the killing of the East – German – spy – fucking – Kennedy was that he got what was coming to him anyway ,
and Joseph Mengele was the patron saint of children.
( To be honest , the first wouldn’t hurt my feelings. Fuck Jack Kennedy .
And the second wouldn’t hurt my feelings either .
The only reason the murder of a few million Jews , Gypsies , Fags , and femi – Nazis is still being milked 70 years later , while far greater genocides in the same time frame are virtually forgotten , is to justify the military industrial complex. )
So ;
You’re gonna be a winner ?
Lol ,
if you say so honey !
Welcome to life in North America. Perhaps one wins by being graceful in the midst of loss. Is there something unacceptable with petitions and pleas? Given the laundry list of genocides that have occurred right here I personally will not dismiss and denigrate victims so casually. Nor does it mean that I accept the war machine or make peace with it.
” Welcome to life in North America. ”
I Luvs you anyway !
— Because you said , Welcome to life in NORTH AMERICA. ”
My number one , all – time favorite song , after all , includes these lyrics ;
Oh, I’m a good old rebel
Now thats just what I am
And for this yankee nation
I do no give a damn.
I’m glad I fit (fought) against ‘er (her)
I only wish we’d won
I ain’t asked any pardon
For anything I’ve done.
I hates the Yankee nation
And eveything they do…..
I hates the glorious union
‘Tis dripping with our blood
I hates the striped banner
And fit (fought) it all I could….
Three hundred thousand Yankees
Is stiff in southern dust
We got three hundred thousand
Before they conquered us.
They died of southern fever
And southern steel and shot
I wish they was three million
Instead of what we got…..
Like the song says ,
I hates the stripped banner , ‘ tis dripping with our blood.
That’s me talking.
Not some white guy a hundred years ago.
Kesa: “…Kennedy was that he got what was coming to him anyway…”
Yet another conspiracy theory is a-borning: it wasn’t even a month after his senior military officers ordered the killing of South Vietnamese President Diem and his influential brother that JFK ate lead.
Being fed mostly false intelligence, and basically wanting to cut and run from Vietnam, Kennedy was not the cold warrior he has been portrayed (Gore Vidal’s assessment stands out).
Henry Cabot Lodge, the US Ambassador in Saigon passed along the message to a cabal of generals that the Prez would be OK with taking out the long-serving Diem. Strangely enough, after the brutal killings, it was VP Lyndon Johnson who reacted with angst. Something on the order of “The world will think we are just gangsters, going around and killing world leaders…”
The theory is that loyal Diem subordinates pitched in to finance or otherwise assist the Kennedy hit, as payback for the Americans encouraging the murder of their (quite popular) president.
* Fuck Jack Kennedy .
AND his whole fucking family.
My totally bigotted contribution for the day . 😉
Oh second thought —
The way I hear it , Jackie was in the hospital recovering from a miscarriage by herself because her husband was busy that week fucking a known East German spy .
But I don’t feel sorry for her.
Obviously that bitch was on the grift too.
Yeah , I’m cruel and unfair .
But then I reckon it is cruel and unfair that I get the grief for East Germany ,
not the Jet setting East German spy ,
or the saintly symbol of America who was fucking an East German spy.
I repeat ;
Fuck the Kennedy’s.
And I mean every word of it.
I’ll fucking apologize to RFK jr when he apologizes to me.
He apologized to you by using his capital and energies to war with the state and police forces that you rail against consistently, and quite legitimately. You can accept it if you like or not. I am accepting it. He didn’t have to bother and could’ve simply enjoyed his wealth and good life without the hassles.
Hey , if you don’t like repeating yourself ,
don’t be a writer.
So I’ll repeat myself ;
I HAVE met a few SAINTS in my lifetime .
And all of them meet one of three criteria ;
— They are dead . ( And not posthumously honored . )
— They are in Gulag
— they are living in a tent.
So , call me a real hardass ,
but you gotta try a lot harder to impress me ,
or moral – one – up me.
Somebody needs to write a song with the chorus ;
” I wish I had a dime for every time someone loved me —- yesterday. ”
Unfortunately I’m not a musician
I heard something interesting and wanted to share with you. The following timeline allegedly captures the incremental increase in the total breadth of human knowledge through the ages.

Don’t get me wrong ,
I love Cheetos , the internet , cigarettes , and air conditioning.
But every day I pray that the era of cheap coal and cheap petroleum will end a day or two sooner. .
I don’t have to ” believe ” in Demons.
Could a red goat with bat wings that stands upright that shoots fire balls out of its ass and eats babies possibly be any worse than humans with power ?
” How would they ‘set Yellowstone off’? Jewish Space Lasers? ”
Well , Anne Frank tells you herself in her diary that she was growing a mustache.
But to hear people tell it , she was Christy Brinkley.
OR
if you believe Jarek’s claim ,
then for 70 years a 30 year old man has successfully passed himself off to millions of people as a 13 year old girl.
Under the circumstances either way , Jewish space lasers is not too far – fetched .
Or ,
Mary Q is not being particularly hyperbolic in claiming everything is a psyop.
* Anne Frank tells you herself in her diary that she was growing a mustache.
— unwillingly .
Given the limitations of her confinement , she was treating the condition with Clorox . ( Making dark – to – black hair transparent , apparently ? )
I guess I should have added that detail .
” How would they ‘set Yellowstone off’? Jewish Space Lasers? ”
One of the things I love about the Ukraine war is that for 40 years I have had to hear that American weapons are wonder weapons and Russian weapons are shit.
Because the performance of the Egyptian and Syrian armies were less than stellar.
Even if you win the war eventually , that narrative is pretty well busted .
I guess maybe that is wishful thinking on my part though.
It was an army equiped with American weapons that had to get the hell out of Dodge in Saigon in 1974 ,
and an army equipped with Communist Bloc weapons that kicked your ass out.
1974 was nearly 50 years ago.
But still this story of American wonder weapons.
* Sigh *
I would still take a T – 55 and an AK – 47 myself. 😛
In any case I’m not holding my breathe.
Vietnam , Lebanon , Syria , and Afghanistan have been gratifying.
But one of my favorite rules of thumb is ;
” If it sounds too good to be true…. “
I would love to see American and West German Cheerleader Mafia – types crushed under the treads of Soviet Tanks.
But if it sounds too good to be true ….
Sacrifice ?
I could be downloading and installing Unification Mod for Dawn of War Soulstorm.
I could be playing Chaos Sisters of Battle ,
If you aren’t familiar with the Warhammer 40k lore , that’s an army of really cute girls in pink and purple armor who worship a fertility goddess / goddess of fucking.
( the lore is a bit ambiguous in this case.
The official Games Workshop lore says Slaanesh is a God / male Demon.
But that SAME lore says the Aldari call Slaanesh ” SHE who thirsts . ”
You figure it out. )
No , the only porn in the game , sadly , is demon girls in chainmail bikinis.
If they ran around fucking people to death , that would be porn.
But , they don’t do that.
Alas , instead they run around exterminating people , which is not porn .
( one of the reasons why I’m not sure what , ” taking genocide lightly ” even means. )
Anyway , instead I’m sitting here writing love lovers to sons of bitches who are in bed at 3 AM when they ought to be fucking working saving their beloved country.
* Love letters , not love lovers.
How many fucking times did I pace the floor at 3 AM trying to figure out how to save my country ?
But it was lost anyway.
Oh well.
Yeah , fuck meritocracy.
It’s a fucking joke.
No doubt you will think I’m bullshitting ,
but I have little doubt my last thought on this world will be be for the Holy Land , Sacred Deutschland !!!
Meine Glaube , Meine Liebing , Gross Deutschland !!
I think Gross is actually GrossE ?
Q Shtik thinks I give a fuck about the grammar of a nation I hate ,
when what really embarasses me is my grammar in sacred language of the volk I love is that of a fucking retard.
My favorite porn is the scene in ” Come and See ” where a German EinsatzGruppen exterminates a village of Byelorussians .
because …. because ….. well …. they aren’t Jews , and despite 20 years of living under Communist Rule , I doubt these peasants would recognize a Red if you drew them a fucking diagram.
So I can’t say why they were exterminated ,
except maybe that murdering people is fun ?
( That’s my boys ! 😀 )
And the Jack the Ripper Mary Kelly crime scene photos.
Near as I can tell though ( I’m not a lawyer ) neither qualifies as illegal porn.
I must be crazy ,
because that doesn’t make any fucking sense to me.
Presumably I hate White people
( because unlike a portion of Soft Star Light ancestors , a portion of my ancestors were not collecting skulls and not eating their enemies for the sake of malicious glee , in 1750 North America , but were instead doing boring shit like chopping cotton , and cutting sugar cane in death factories , in 1750 North America , so I don’t qualify as White. )
But it strikes me as totally bat shit that in the entire Western world the birth rate for natives is 1% , and in some cases MINUS 1% ,
but the Sexual Revolution is called a success.
50% of the population isn’t fucking at all ( ? ) and 50% of the population is practicing genocide on a staggering scale ,
but the big news of the day is the sexual proclivities of some New York Jew millionaire ( Epstein ) ?
But I hate White people , so pay me no mind.
I need a go – fund me page or a patreon
so I caqn go to Ukraine and kill American Mercenary scumbags .
Who wants to write me a check ?
Show me the money ! 😀
Seriously , there is an American Civil War battlefield just South of Nashville Tennessee , Murfresboro ( ? )
that has a Union , Yankee graveyard .
I went there to GLOAT.
I hope you Yankee sons of bitches enjoy your looooooooooooooong stay in the humid , ugly , too fucking hot South.
Freedom isn’t free !
lol !
yEAH , THOSE WHITEBREAD , REDNECK HONKY ASSHOLES DIDN’T KILL ENOUGH yANKEES.
MY ONLY COMPLAINT THERE.
I guess Mariah Carey flying a Confederate flag in her yard is incongruous ?
I don’t know, the way I hear it , most Cherokees ( the only indigenous group in North America with a written language ) and Choctaws fought for the Confederacy.
And the last outfit in the Confederacy to surrender , two months ( ? )
after Appomattox , was a Cherokee / Choctaw outfit .
But , presumably , Chief Joesph is more condusive to strait hair , and long noses with small nostrils , than Mandigo .
So head – hunting , skull – collecting , cannibal Indians are Honorary Aryans .
— Unless they want the Rez — ie. want to tumb their noses at the United States ,
in which case they are Native Americans , qualified to tell the NFL ( A kind of fraternity for male whores ) that they are violating our copyright rights !
Such is life.
So What is incongruous ?
The mulatto empathises with Jarek’s Einsatzgruppen ,
while Aryans wouldn’t piss on him.
Such is life.
The Zodiac was right ; the movie The Exorcist was a hilarious comedy.
To the average American , The Third
God Bless the memory of the Confederate States of America , the Cherokee Empire , the German Democratic Republic , Picklehaubes , the Goose step , and fucking skirts and dsre3sses. n
And the Church Jesus Christ founded , and gave his authority too , you heretic rebel mother fuckers , the Church of rOME.
Covid — millions of ashholes will drop dead ?
If it sounds too good to be true , it probably is.
That was my thinking.
Was I wrong ?
The Death Vax — millions of assholes will drop dead ?
If it sounds too good to be true , it probably is.
Is my thinking.
Call me stupid.
We will see.
As you might have guessed , I’m a fan of Custer.
Some reasons :
— At least a hundred years before Custer a truism was that a GOOD cavalry officer is brave , but fucking stupid. But never mind that.
— Cavalry units getting wiped out is hardly uncommon . But never mind that.
— in the dictionary under the term , ” Milf ” ( 19th Century ) there should be a picture of Libby Custer.
— more than once Custer said publicly that he thought the Indians were getting a raw deal.
But he’s a white guy and a war criminal , so never mind that.
— having your name put on a national park , and then having your name removed from a national park , isn’t particularly derogatory , isn’t egregious disrespect , isn’t Hate Speech. But never mind that.
So , yeah , I kinda like the asshole.
But I’m a bitch , because I’m too liberal.
Such is life.
Don’t let my sympathies for Custer confuse you.
I’m not one of those retards who flies the Confedrate flag on the same flag pole with the flag of the evil empire with the flag of the Confedracy BENEATH that of the evil empire.
what is that bullshit ???
I’m more like the total scumbag Jesse James , I really fucking hate yankees , and the yankee nation.
* What is that redneck honky whitebread bullshit ?
The United States ; Love it or leave it .
OK !
Now get the fuck out of my country you yankee mother fuckers.
OK, then.
Thank you, Kesa Anna…over and out.
