Tripping over the doorsill into “Joe Biden’s” dark winter, what do you see out in the gathering gloom? That old Shining City on a Hill is looking more like Detroit in a sleet-storm, with dumpster fires sputtering here and there in the broken streets. The darkness descending is something more ominous than any ordinary night. In the shadows, an insectile legion seems to be stealing away with what remains of your country.

Was it reassuring to see Dr. Anthony Fauci declare on MSNBC: “What we’re starting to see now is an uptick in hospitalizations among people who have been fully vaccinated but not boosted”? And the moral of that story? Get more of the same thing that’s not working — and if you don’t volunteer to get it, maybe we can find a way to force you.

How does this lying prick get to remain as America’s chief public health officer? Has he not done enough damage? In case you can’t put it together, that “uptick” is happening because Dr. Fauci’s vaccines undermine immune systems, making the vaxxed more susceptible to disease, and not just the illness called Covid-19, but to disease generally, including cancer, and to all kinds of mischief and mayhem around the organs as well. Now, in the gathering darkness of winter, we’ll see how far this “uptick” goes and whether public opinion will flip over the dastardly trick that’s been played on it.

Everything your government tells you these days is a lie — the old epigram goes — including “and” and “the”. The chief victim of that inexhaustible deceit is America’s rule-of-law. Case in point, the shenanigans in the DC District federal court last week in the action known as Page v. Comey et al. (basically the whole FBI and DOJ). This is Carter Page’s lawsuit over the phony FISA court warrants sworn against him in the attempt to use the “three-hop rule” to surveil everybody in the 2016 Trump campaign, and defame Mr. Page in the process.

A judge named Rudolph (“Rudy”) Contreras, who happens to be the current Presiding Judge of the FISA court, also happens to be the DC District’s Chair of the Calendar and Case Management Committee, meaning he gets to pick which DC District judge will sit for Page v. Comey. Rudy picked Judge James Boasberg. Judge Boasberg sat on the very FISA court that approved the RussiaGate warrants. He also presided over the trial of FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, convicted of altering documents to conceal Carter Page’s prior service to the CIA. Say, what…? Boasberg is supposed to adjudicate matters around the very proceedings he was involved in?

Rudy Contreras was the judge who accepted General Michael Flynn’s 2017 guilty plea (for speaking with the Russian Ambassador in his capacity as designated National Security Advisor to the President-elect) after Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe threatened criminal referrals against General Flynn’s son on a confabulated FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) rap. Rudy Contreras also happened to be a boon companion of FBI officer Peter Strzok, who headed the phony-baloney Crossfire-Hurricane counter-intel operation, based on the Hillary Clinton-sponsored Steele Dossier. Judge Contreras coordinated FISA court filings with Mr. Strzok — making him party to a seditious conspiracy to disable the chief executive, a matter currently being reviewed by Special Counsel John Durham.

Notice how all these people are still in office, and still involved in nefarious cases they played roles in. Anyway, Judge Contreras’s appointment of Boasberg sent up such an odium that he had to rescind it, replacing him with DC District Judge Timothy Kelly, who recused himself hours later, with the case then booted again to DC District Judge Dabney Friedrich, a Trump appointee. The lingering question: where is Chief Justice John Roberts in this farce?  Justice Roberts is supposed to be the ultimate supervisor of the federal court system, and especially these parts of it: the DC District and the FISC. Does he really want it to look this bad? Like a poor imitation of the Soviet Russian courts in the 1930s?

Attorney General Merrick Garland apparently wants to go full Soviet at his end of the justice system. Earlier this month, he told the Senate Judiciary Committee that the DOJ would not use counter-terrorism statutes to target disgruntled parents in school board meetings as domestic terrorists. Then a DOJ whistleblower produced internal department emails showing that the DOJ and the FBI did exactly that. Where’s the contempt citation against AG Garland?

Next was the FBI’s invasion of Project Veritas chief James O’Keefe’s home in a case involving “Joe Biden’s” daughter Ashley Biden’s personal diary, which Project Veritas was alleged to be holding, and which supposedly contained some entries about sketchy father-and-daughter showers together. Bad optics for a floundering president already suspected of being a bit free with his touch, shall we say, around the little ones (not to mention the florid pornographic exploits self-documented by son Hunter).

Instead of defending Mr. O’Keefe’s first amendment rights, the legacy news media piled on him as “not a real journalist.” More to the point, though, within hours of the FBI confiscating Mr. O’Keefe’s cell phones and other devices, Mr. O’Keefe’s private communications with his attorneys turned up in the hands of The New York Times, which published some of the material. Of course, James O’Keefe is in the middle of a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times. And wasn’t it a fortuitous coincidence that the newspaper came into possession of their adversary’s privileged information? The thing is (of course), that the info could have only been provided to The Times by one possible source: the FBI, investigative arm of the DOJ. Days later, Judge Analisa Torres from the Southern District of New York ordered the FBI to stop extracting data from the phones — as if they hadn’t already downloaded every last shred and made a zillion copies. Where is the DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz? Where is the DOJ’s ethics office? Why has the leaker not been outed and arraigned?

Why? Because we are ever deeper into the age of Anything Goes and Nothing Matters. Every institution in American life is failing. The people are finally starting to see how this works at the same time that they see how the vaccines work. It did not have to be, but we allowed it to get this far, and now so many things are broken that there is barely any honorable and effective authority left. As the long night falls over the land, we survey the terrain and see fiery eruptions on the horizon. Is that the flashing of chaos in the distance? In the darkness it’s hard to tell how close it may be.

        The “law” as we’ve understood it all of our lives has been weaponized, through the capture of the DOJ by the Bolsheviks.

        Totalitarian regimes always rid themselves of the opposition by way of the laws they control.

        In the world we now have a generic term for anyone we want to rid ourselves of. Terrorist. If you cause the regime any discomfort at all you will be a terrorist and dealt with accordingly.

        • Ron Anselmo November 19, 2021 at 12:22 pm #

          Yes Albert – the generic term you mention was coined in the “Patriot” Act of 10/25/01, a little more than a month after 9/11.

          Big surprise it’s being weaponized against Patriots no less. That was the intent all along.

          Welcome to the party.

            I labeled the term as useless a bunch of days ago in a comment I wrote.

            You’ve correctly identified the purpose of the term.

            It describes nothing, being so broadly generic and tremendously overused.

            A weaponized word.

          Yes indeed. Here is one dictionary definition of terrorism.
          “The unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.”

          https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/terrorism

          A definition of terror.
          1.3 the Terror, The period of the French Revolution between mid 1793 and July 1794 when the ruling Jacobin faction, dominated by Robespierre, ruthlessly executed anyone considered a threat to their regime.

          https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/terror

          Both sound like they originated from government terror against its citizens.
          As usual, governments have turned it around and redirected it against their citizens, to try hiding the real terrorists.

          To call it ‘overreach’ is being too polite.
          It is blatant, unbridled government terrorism and tyranny.
          Those of us who already saw this tyranny coming have an easier time dealing with it, since we are somewhat prepared for it.
          I can only imagine how surprised and shocked those who are just now waking up to this tyranny must feel.
          Those who cannot deal with or accept it will stay in denial, and may never wake up until the very end, when they are finally exterminated in the final solution.

      Here’s another great one where a professor of psychiatry in Belgium is interviewed regarding mass hypnosis:

      https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uLDpZ8daIVM

      There are three basic groups now in society. First there is around 40% who are under the pre-totalitarian spell of getting the jabs, wearing their masks in the shower and never questioning the narrative. Then there’s around 30% who are on the fence and starting to wake up. Both these groups generally buy into the jab narrative. Then there is the 30% group of rebels who are refusing the narrative and jabs and masks. Radical free-thinkers.

      He says in history ALL totalitarian schemes have failed as the totalitarians eat their own and dissolve. Even the Klaus Schwabs and Fauci’s and Walensky’s and Collins’ and Dazick’s and all the totalitarian “doctors” will ultimately be brought down and their vax passports with them.

      I was in the rebel group from day one.

      There are people writing cute responses to the alarms JHK posts. I don’t expect much from them. However, others are ready for direct action. Unfortunately they will bring reform by sledge hammer. Not neat, not well thought out, emotion driven for the most part. But when pressure is allowed to build up to this point cute comments are swept aside along with those pretending they might make a difference.

      I saw that and I’m looking for more details. Does mandatory mean mandatory for people working in health care, restaurants, etc? Or for everyone? I live nearby in Poland, and I think that would not go over well here, but there are hints that the government is considering additional restrictions.

        • GreenAlba November 19, 2021 at 12:16 pm #

          I think that’s the end point everywhere, Mr M.

          In the UK, 103,000 NHS workers are going to be sacked in April if they won’t be jabbed. Now, if the government believed its own lies (that their being vaxxed would lower their risk of infecting other people), it should be doing it now, before they allegedly contribute to the winter surge.

          But it appears that springtime will do, and, in the interim, the winter surge can conveniently be partly blamed on unvaxxed doctors and nurses, and, by extension, on unvaxxed people generally.

          Next step everyone ‘working with other people’, then everyone working, then everyone …

            Isn’t it fun to watch the desperation of authoritarian governments around the world frothing because the vaxxes are doing diddly squat and watching the Covidian cult followers desperately trying to plug the holes in the narrative. They’re mentally ill, all of them.

            Hi Slugoon

            I’m double vaxxed but Imrefuse to get a vaxx passport, so to all intents and purposes I might as well not be vaxxed.

            And I didn’t turn up for my booster.

            School friend has just told me she’s very concerned about my mental health, what with me having had some hard times an’ all, and I should see my GP, because of the er … conspiracy theories and stuff. She says it’s very sad. 🙂

            She looked on factcheck.com and assured herself that the vaxxes are safe.

          • hmuller November 19, 2021 at 5:23 pm #

            Last posting GA said she declined the booster (shot number 3) and may now suffer the same leper status as the completely unvaxxed.

          • hmuller November 19, 2021 at 5:24 pm #

          • hmuller November 19, 2021 at 5:33 pm #

            GA, you may remember that in the 1970’s the Soviet government had to contend with a form of mental illness in the population. Some people in the USSR developed the insane idea that they didn’t live in a free society. Many were sent to mental institutions for “treatment”.

            Now it’s happening here. The conspiracy theory disease is rampant making people socially deranged.

            Your old school friend sounds like the perfect product of our brave new world, deeply drinking the soma.

          • GreenAlba November 19, 2021 at 5:45 pm #

            Yep, I certainly remember all that. I wonder if the psychiatry profession in Russia ever recovered.

            I like Kesa’s approach – you have to refuse to take the role of the defence (I mean when we eventually encounter official persecution).

      The ‘overwhelmed hospitals’ is a recurrent theme in this drama but when interrogated, usually proves to be a lie.

      Note also the prior Austrian PM was ousted after what looks to be a contrived scandal involving a black mail video of extremely cinematic HD quality. German intel has its fingers all over this. Kurz was hustled out of office and the Austrian conservative party discredited in much the same way as President da Silva was in Brazil- which was how they installed the tool that’s in charge there now.
      They always use the same playbook. Color Revolution, bribery scandal. Why? Because no one who wants to keep their media corp job will ask any questions.

        “Accountability” journalism. As the head editor at AP informed us a few years back, facts are not always the most important thing. A journalist needs to filter facts based on how they feel the story should be reported.

      As James also demonstrates in his article, rule of law is just about gone. The people who are running the show are purposely ignoring and violating laws, secure in their knowledge that there will be no repercussions.

        I’ve been saying for quite a while most courts are rigged. Certainly not a news flash to many on here.

        JHK’s inclusion of absence of rule of law in todays writing is another affirmation of how bad things are getting.

        Unfortunately, I believe it will get a lot worse.

        Living WROL was derided as an idea fostered by tin-foil hat preppers, those “conspiracy theorists” who’ve been warning about this for quite a while.

        We probably have a distance to go before real ugly happens. The speed the distance is traversed appears to be accelerating.

        I am flashing back now to early November 2020 when Trump was holding rallies with thousands in the crowd and many more trying to get in.

        Then Joe showed up on a street somewhere and people were literally walking out of shops and walking on as if they didn’t even know who he was or cared.

        Two plus two ain’t makin’ four anymore.

        Plus so many counts in swing states stopped for hours in the middle of the night. Lies told about poll watchers being sent home for a major plumbing issue turned out to be a total lie.

        Especially seeing them trying to ram through the nomination of the Russian woman who has a rap for shop-lifting and she openly declared she wants to see the oil and gas industries bankrupted because it will be good for climate change and she wants private banking stopped plus siccing the IRS on Americans to monitor banking of even accounts with $600.

        The Biden administration is moving at warp speed to destroy this country and our health as well!

        And Republicans are, for the most part, silent.

        Even Youngkin (like Biden) lied before the election and said there would be no jab mandates. He’s already flipped that script and he is locked into big banking and the WEF.

    • Blackbird November 19, 2021 at 10:03 am #

      The Kyle R verdict, which ever way it goes, will result in business as usual.

      Kyle found guilty: We the people sit back on our haunches and say, “Well goddamn…” No demonstrations, no riots, not one tire lit on fire.

      Kyle found not guilty: Tires, buildings, cities set on fire to condemn the lack of justice. Then a retrial when Kyle is found even guiltier than originally claimed. Tires, buildings, cities set on fire to celebrate a rare win for the oppressed.

      • Warren November 19, 2021 at 10:21 am #

        I fear you are right. I find I am reluctant to read JHK and some other sites that showcase the real Zeitgeist of our country because it all seems so hopeless.

        Like Yeats said:
        Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
        Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
        The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
        The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
        The best lack all conviction, while the worst
        Are full of passionate intensity

        I don’t know where this all will end but it looks worse by the day. There is so much interconnected evil, it is impossible to parse the crimes and the perps.

        Well, it turned out that Rittenhouse was found Not Guilty on all counts.

        Amazing. It’s like the Hand of GOD intervened to stop the onslaught of the Left. It has a miraculous feel to it, even though it is clearly the correct verdict supported by the facts and the evidence.

        No riots so far and it is mid-day on Saturday.

        I think this is further evidence that the worm has finally turned. First the massive repudiation of Democrats in the recent elections. Now the bravery of a judge and jury who refused to be intimidated by the Left’s street mobs.

        We have now passed “Oeak Woke” and the counter-Revolution is underway.

        As Churchill once said, this may not be the beginning of the end, but it sure as hell is looking like the end of the beginning.

        There is much work yet to be done and the mod-terms are still one year away. A lot can happen in that time, so sane people must keep up the pressure and the vigilance.

        We must follow the maxim of General Nathan Bedford Forrest on how to defeat enemy troops you have just routed: “Put the skeer on ‘em, and keep the skeer on ‘em!”

        In other words, once you have put the enemy on the run, DON’T LET UP. Run them into the friggin’ ground until they are thoroughly whipped.

      This trial reminds me of the OJ trial. In that trial, many people, black and white, suspected that OJ was guilty. But the atmosphere, the anti-black zeitgeist, was so oppressive and unfair, black people could not care a hoot about Justice. For them it was about beating the system and saving one of their own. I suspect it is the same in reverse here. I think Kyle, in better times, would definitely have been convicted on at least some lesser charge.

      Here’s how that uptick will be played out — “Dr. Fauci was SO RIGHT!” He said things would get much worse and they did! Why won’t people listen to him?!”

      Why do I put my money on this scenario? I talked to a friend yesterday about the insane lockdowns of the unvaxxed in Austria. She had been in public health for years and said (I quote) “all they have to do to be free again is take the shot and put on their masks.” She went on to say she saw no problem with wearing a mask for the rest of her life and saw no reason it would have detrimental effects on children.

      She is an avid supporter of Fauci and there are plenty more who think exactly the same way. It’s really chilling to hear this from someone I thought was smart.

            Since WWII, there’s been a spiritual shift in the West’s attitudes towards death. Death used to be accepted stoically. It was understood as just part of nature’s life-growth-decay-extinction cycle.

            But in our technological arrogance, combined with our soft living conditions in that time (no major wars, most wealth abundance in history thanks to fossil fuels), we not only fear death much more than in the past, but we also find it a bit offensive, as if, in our scientific explorations, we should have “solved” the “problem” by now of eternal life.

            This is the thinking of TPTB. Get rid of 7 billion, and extend the lifeline of fossil fuels for a hundred years until high tech can make possible they and their forbears eternal existence (and hubris).

        He is perfect for his job, Mary. A politician to explain the unexplainable. He makes a great target to push the attention away from Biden and the mob.

        I looked at the trends today.

        There are no explanations for the surges and downfalls. Israel that was up two months ago is back down again, with near herd immunity levels of vaxx.

        The vaccine as a preventer of the disease is a failure. It has only one positive left, as an intensity moderator but the latest trends indicate that hospitalizations are on the rise. Even having the disease is not helping reinfection.

        The north south dichotomy continues.

        Are posters from New Zealand and Australia have nothing to brag about any more, both are in major surges.

        Wow, Europe, especially Germany is surging big time.

        Worldwide. IOW both hemispheres shows surges every six months.

        These are trends, I cannot fathom any logical explanation for any of it.

        One adder on the north south dichotomy. Temperature, the flu likes a discrete temperature range. Maybe Covid does too. Along the same lines, there is a period of time that HVAC systems are not running during change of seasons.

        One more modifier, maybe, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado are in surges? Let us talk about Covid laden immigration.

    Let’s see if our ‘science and fact based’ little Australian friend, ianw, responds to this.

    Headline:
    Official Public Health England Data Says COVID Infection Rates Higher In Vaxx’d Than Unvaxx’d

    The Spectator has published an article citing official data from Public Health England, which states that for the over 30’s, “the rates of Covid infection per 100,000 are now higher among the vaxxed than the unvaxxed.”

    Well, this is awkward.

    The article, written by Lionel Shriver, is titled ‘The absurd theatre of vaccine passports’.

    It points out that according to official data, vaccines only offer about 17 per cent protection for the over-fifties.

    “As I observed then, this would mean the vaxxed and unvaxxed pose a comparable danger to each other,” writes Shriver.

    “All Covid apartheid schemes are therefore insensible.”

    She then clearly explains how the official data undermines the entire argument behind vaccine passports, which ban the unvaccinated from entering innumerable venues.

    Meanwhile, the Times reports the results of another study which “found the double-jabbed are just as likely to pass on Covid-19 as unvaccinated people.”

    After Public Health England published the data, government bureaucrats begin to panic that people would use it to suggest vaccines were not that effective.

            The Market Ticker guy has some more analysis of the shots:

            Israel already had its three spikes.

            Did we have them here? Not really. We had two, more or less, but we tried to claim success by jabbing into the decline in January forward and which then blew up in our face this summer.

            Has the UK managed to jab its way out? No.

            How about the Netherlands? Nope.

            Iceland? HA! They’re getting ass-pounded right now with roughly 75% of the population fully vaccinated.

            Singapore has roughly 83% fully-vaccinated but took the largest spike of the pandemic anyway, which is just now subsiding.

            So who’s “succeeded” thus far by jabbing people?

            How about Sweden? They took two pretty nasty spikes, didn’t mandate much of anything and so far have not gotten a third. Will they? We’ll find out.

          How about you getting off the “Ooh, this virus is so terrible!” kick? So we’re all “facing the virus on an equal footing”? Wow, scary! Do you actually know the official mortality rate? It’s not 90% or even 10%; it’s 0.26%. This is not a real “crud” like the Black Death or even the Spanish Flu. Countries that did virtually nothing about it are doing absolutely fine. I respect that you are scared of this virus, but stop projecting your fears on to us.

    • Ron Anselmo November 19, 2021 at 11:30 am #

      H – as the truth about the “safe & effective” “vaccines” begins to percolate and can no longer be buried and concealed, the vaxxed are becoming (more) fearful.

      Rightly so, as they discover that their natural god given immune systems have been compromised & disabled – now susceptible to about any respiratory virus, existing disease acceleration, cardiovascular problems and a host of other opportunistic diseases.

      If fear makes people easily led, which it does, imagine how much more easily they’ll be led by sheer terror – waking up each day wondering if today’s the day – the day they lose the clottery.

      So far, those that are starting to see what’s happening, and realize they’ve been had, are blaming the unvaxxed. Hopefully they’ll start to direct their misdirected anger at the sick fucks that fooled them in the first place.

      Alas, most still trust the sick fucks – do as they’re told – blame the unvaxxed.

      • Beryl of Oyl November 19, 2021 at 11:35 am #

        There has to be some reason we haven’t all gotten the virus yet, as they claimed we all would, early on.

        Even the CDC is admitting there was more resistance in the population than they thought.

        Trying to vaccinate everybody was a big dumb mistake, and that’s only if it was a mistake.

        • Ron Anselmo November 19, 2021 at 11:52 am #

          Beryl – don’t think it was a mistake – think depopulation – Deagel Study says US population ~ 100MM in 2025.

          Interesting that projections for other countries highly correlate with their “vaccine” mandates & protocols.

          US, UK, Europe, AU, NZ – populations projections down. Countries using alternative methods – not so much.

      Even Fauci has admitted they aren’t very effective which is why he is now saying it is “essential” that ALL Americans get the boosters.

        Abby – Dr. Rochelle Walensky is already on record having stated that the CDC may need to revisit the definition of “fully vaccinated”. In other words, the day has come and gone – just not official yet.

    • ianw November 20, 2021 at 4:01 am #

      The Spectator has published an article citing official data from Public Health England, which states that for the over 30’s, “the rates of Covid infection per 100,000 are now higher among the vaxxed than the unvaxxed.”

      Why would anyone be surprised at this? For basically all age cohorts above 30, the percentage of total people vaccinated is very high – in some cases exceeding 90%.

      So it stands to reason that new cases will come increasingly from the vaccinated, if you take the population as a whole. What would make some sense would be comparing the number of cases per 100,000 of the vaccinated only, versus the number of cases per 100,000 of the unvaccinated only.

      The unvaxxed rate I suggest would be far higher.

      And apart from the vaccines reducing your chance of catching Covid-19 in the first place, the vaccines are good to keep you out of hospital, critical care, and the morgue.

          Oh my goodness. Our ian doesn’t do stats. How the heck do you think they did it other than that?

          The obvious way – just take the total number of new cases in each age cohort, and determine how many are vaxxed and unvaxxed. I 90% of those over 60 (say) are vaxxed, then of course it’s likely the number of vaxxed new cases might exceed the new cases among the remaining ten percent unvaxxed.

          The reason they sneakily add the wriggle-room of “those over 30” is obviously because below the age of 30 a smaller percentage is vaccinated – therefore the number of unvaxxed new cases exceeds the number of vaxxed new cases.

          Anyway – the reality remains – you’re ten to twenty times (depending on age) more likely to die of Covid-19 if you are unvaxxed.

            “According to a September 2021 analysis, based on conservative, best-case scenarios, the COVID shots have killed five times more seniors (65+) than the infection.

            -In younger people and children, the risk associated with the COVID shot, compared to the risk of COVID-19, is bound to be even more pronounced.

            -Data show higher vaccination rates do not translate into lower COVID-19 case rates.

            -The COVID shots are an epic failure. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports having more than 30,000 spontaneous reports of either hospitalizations and/or deaths among the fully vaccinated; data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services show 300,000 vaccinated CMS recipients have been hospitalized with breakthrough infections; 60% of seniors over age 65 hospitalized for COVID-19 have been vaccinated.

            -50% of reported deaths after COVID-19 “vaccination” occur within 24 hours; 80% occur within the first week. According to one report, 86% of deaths have no other explanation aside from a vaccine adverse event. A Scandinavian study concluded about 40% of post-jab deaths among seniors in assisted living homes are directly due to the injection.”

    If we survive this communist takeover in America, Jeffrey Tucker will be one of the heroes of the Battle of the Coronavirus.

    How Fanatics Took Over the World

    Early in the pandemic, I had been furiously writing articles about lockdowns. My phone rang with a call from a man named Dr. Rajeev Venkayya. He is the head of a vaccine company but introduced himself as former head of pandemic policy for the Gates Foundation.

    Now I was listening.

    I did not know it then, but I’ve since learned from Michael Lewis’s (mostly terrible) book The Premonition that Venkayya was, in fact, the founding father of lockdowns. While working for George W. Bush’s White House in 2005, he headed a bioterrorism study group. From his perch of influence – serving an apocalyptic president — he was the driving force for a dramatic change in U.S. policy during pandemics.

    If the rules don’t apply to the people who mae them, or enforce them, why should we obey them if we don’t want to? Especially if we can violate them on the downlow and get away with it?
    If the courts are political, why shouldn’t we treat them as such? If leftists jurors in Wisconsin can vote to convict a palpably innocent person based on their political views, why shouldn’t people who lean to the right do the same?

    If a DA in Kenosha Country can hide evidence and prevent witnesses from testifying by hiding their identities from the Defense why shouldn’t DAs in conservative counties do the same?

    If one side doesn’t give a damn about the rules then why should the other? Because we can’t live under two separate rules of law, no matter how wrong it is the same rules must apply to bot sides, even if those rules are worse than what we have lived under upnto recently.

        • Beryl of Oyl November 19, 2021 at 11:15 am #

          It’s looking more and more to me like the Deep State was controlling the covid task force.

          I can’t find out who actually asked Fauci and Birx to be on that panel.

          People say that Pence was in charge, which is true, but a vice president is a figurehead and his “picks” would have to have been approved by him, but not necessarily made by him.

          You take someone like the Surgeon General, well anybody would choose that, wouldn’t they?

          Ditto for the CDC, the Director comes readily to mind. But how many people even know there’s a NIAID, or had heard of Dr. Fauci? How did he get on there? Anyone who did know who he was would have the same reaction I did, when I was reminded that it was he who played such a major role in the AIDS debacle.

          Who gave his name to whoever gave his name to Pence? Then there’s Birx. Where did she come from? PPence would not have known who she was, and again, anybody who’d heard of her would know of her track record.

          I have heard that Pence delegated to someone named Marc Short.

          He, according to Emerald Robinson, delegated to someone called Olivia Troye, who had formerly held some sort of national security position, not any kind of medical one.

          BTW there is or was an ethics complaint against Marc Short over stocks he held.

          These things are important if they can be used against President Trump, but since he’s currently not in office it may not go anywhere.

      It’s hard to ignore the fact that the justice system has turned into a weapon to punish the designated scapegoat rather than conduct a fair trial. In the George Floyd murder trial, the drug dealer he got in the car with after passing the fake $20 bill was not required to testify at the trial. The prosecutor convinced a compliant judge that it would damage his case apparently.

      No one in mainstream media asks the question what were those three men who were shot in Kenosha doing there that night? All three had serious violent criminal backgrounds and there’s absolutely no evidence any had participated in some “social justice” demonstration before. It’s pretty obvious they were there to loot and create chaos and attacked the wrong person.

So he was free to fantasize about the humanitarian impulses surging through the pedophile mental patient when he lunged at Rittenhouse, shouting “F**k you!” (attested to by two witnesses).

    The big mistake is believing it was ever any different.

    Take a look at the headlines leading up to the Mexican or Spanish wars. All the others (yellow cake anyone?) use similar tactics, but these set the gold standard.

    Once you understand that goals and objectives are first determined, and then the media is used to establish an official narrative, then you’ll recognize the same exact pattern.

    The true genius was moving from an authoritarian monarchy to an inclusive “democracy”. This masterstroke allows the argument that consensus grants authority.

    If you’re honest, you’ll admit it’s extremely clever. This recognition allows you to float above the partisan games and legal misjustices and focus on where the real game is headed.

      Consider the fact that the US has had a Government sponsored media supported war every twenty years or so to provide cohesion between the states.

      Afghanistan was not really a war after the first year, just a monitor site, like Korea. It was still 2001.

      So our last “war” was Iraq, a sorta war. Around the same time.

      We are fighting brushfire fights that are gaining reputation of being worthless.

      So we haven’t had a sensible war in thirty years, Kuwait.

      IMHO, the lack of periodic wars, t=20 years, is allowing the huge amount of divisive forces to fester into an oncoming explosion.

        “Global thermonuclear war…” reminds me of a report around 2015 that the Pentagon had actually whipped up concerning the possibility of a – HOLD ONTO YOUR HATS, FOLKS – “…winnable nuclear war…”

        Haven’t read it, BUT they are apparently still playing that old broken record of “decapitation strike” or some such other fantasy.

        Will it be a case of “Use ’em or lose ’em”?

  12. shox November 19, 2021 at 10:25 am #

    I urge everyone to watch Geert Vanden Bossche’s long-anticipated interview on TheHighWire. He has some bone-chilling predictions about how the “unnatural” pandemic we’ve created through mass vaccinations will unfold:
    TheHighWire EPISODE 242: THE VANDEN BOSSCHE INTERVIEW
    https://thehighwire.com/watch/
    or
    https://thehighwire.com/videos/vaccine-expert-warns-of-covid-vaccination-catastrophe/
    or
    https://www.brighteon.com/20c97e6c-c938-4a4f-8c52-41144036ca62

    Geert’s message has been haunting me for months. I’m only slowly grasping the sheer gravity and magnitude of the situation. It’s hard to grasp because of its enormity. Del Bigtree used the term “extinction event” in his closing statements.

    Who is running all this behind the scenes? Who is the small group who coordinates all the media, educational institutions, government bureaucracies etc? It’s not Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg. It’s a small and shadowy clique who, from what I’ve discerned, is adept in the theory and practice of Marxist/Leninist subversion and subjugation of an entire population. It specializes in inverting truth, reality and morality and in turning the social order upside down. I also think they’ve had this going for decades, with this being the last and most dramatic stage. All that the world needs to do is identify them and take them out. The one great weakness of Marxist/Leninist movements is that, though they are dedicated and fanatical in the pursuit of their evil goals, they are always a very, very small group and therefore vulnerable to “decapitation” – that is, where once you take the leader of a movement out, the movement dies instantly. This is the case with North Korea’s Kim dynasty and its inner circle. It’s most certainly the case with whoever is pulling the strings in the western world – most people don’t even know their names. Most of the population is incapable of espousing and disseminating the unnatural ethics and ideas of this small clique and therefore, if the clique dies, so too does its evil spirit and legacy.

    • Alfred November 19, 2021 at 10:40 am #

      “All that the world needs to do is identify them and take them out.”

      We already know who they are, and we know who staffs their organization, and I disagree, Bill Gates and the company he keeps are certainly in their employ.

      It takes an enormous amount of money to make this happen.

      It takes a fair amount of grass roots organization to make this happen.

      The action WE must take to “take them out,” as you say begins in the street, and must be rolled up over and through anyone who stands in our way.

      There is a moment in every bold move where one thinks again before committing to the unknown. The Bolsheviks are well past that moment and are all in. WE are stuck in our normalcy bias, and in the ritual shaming of racism.

      The civil war started in earnest when Trump won in 2016. They went all in then. Here its almost 6 years later, and many of us don’t know whether to, “shit or go blind,” as my dearly departed mother would say.

      And so it goes…

      Not the James Bond organization but something similar.

      Look at the part that Soros is doing, supporting Black unqualified city level politicians for the DA and mayoral positions. What we get are Detroits, Baltimores and DCs.

      Remember in the Bond movies, SPECTRE succeeded because nobody knew they were there.

      The “expert” author of the vaccine bible in the video explicitly predicted several years of immunity through vaccination. Now we have data that the “immunity” (redefined as an effect suppressing severe cases) lasts about 6 months.

      Professors of medicine can now no longer be trusted because of their thoroughly corrupt and conflicted state in which they make lots of money producing opinions and “research” that fits the profit motive of pharmaceutical companies.

      And one thing is for sure: putting the entire population on a booster shot treadmill is a golden goose for these companies.

      This is quite similar to how the (continuing) financial crisis is handled. Terminally conflicted actors or even the perpetrators themselves are consulted by our idiot politicians on how to solve it. predictably the proposed solution was to give them much more money.

      Funnily in case of the corona virus it is also likely that the perpetrators themselves are involved in the pandemic response.

      It appears many nations, including the USA are no longer truly sovereign – the polititical class are Build Back Beter policy implementors.

  13. Beryl of Oyl November 19, 2021 at 10:27 am #

    Something I’ve been thinking about recently- how some big corporations seem to have had some major restructuring planned exactly to coincide with the Build Back Better initiative.

    Almost if they knew what was going to happen.

    Recently we heard that GE is breaking up into three separate companies.

    Now we hear that CVS is going through major changes involving closing hundreds of stores.

    These things aren’t unheard of; it’s just that they take a while to plan, and the planning so closely coincides with the devastation caused not by the pandemic, but by the shutdowns imposed by the government, with the ridiculous cover of “slowing the spread”.

    Anybody with a functioning brain should have understood by Day 16 that this was never about a virus.

    Another thing, a group of “corporate titans” got together early on to push for forcing superstitious voodoo mask wearing on Americans.

    As if people with that kind of money couldn’t consult with real “experts”.

    No, the urging of the adoption of primitive superstition was deliberate and with full knowledge of how absurd it was.

    • SW November 19, 2021 at 10:39 am #

      One of the reasons CVS is closing is the high rate of shoplifting. In California there are videos of young men filling trash bags with merchandise in front of a security guard. No arrests are made if the goods do not exceed $950. I read an article 10 years ago that theft and the cost of hiring security guards contributed to grocery stores leaving neighborhoods and that lead to “food deserts” within cities.

      • rainmaker November 19, 2021 at 10:47 am #

        CVS should abandon California, totally. So should (and will) alot of other businesses. How are landscapers ect. going to function without small gas powered tools and equipment? EVs, you gotta be kidding. California is leading the way back to the 18th century.

      • Jarek November 19, 2021 at 10:58 am #

      Good observations. Consider that Obama, in the guise of AGW, sent our manufacturing base to China, Mexico, Malaysia, Taiwan, Viet Nam, the Caribbean, etc.

      Trump tried to pull some of it back. The pandemic interrupted along with all the political malfeasance.

      Biden has not a clue what to do with what has survived. The service sector, which the Dems wanted to fill the gap left from the Obama debacle, has been dealt body blows from the crud.

      So with manufacturing essentially gone and the service sector reeling, what to do.

      UBI!!!!!!!

      Run the presses, keep the gimmes Fed. Import immigrants to force down labor costs then increase the minimum wage???

        The effects of masking people can’t help but impact children. If nothing else, it’s a form of conditioning that will seem normal and open the door for further conditioning.

      I’ve long now been reading your posts, and every time you call people ‘gimmes’ I know exactly who you’re talking about.

      However, consider this: the recent bill (instituting that damn’d socialism) is aimed at assisting working people, by providing many services that the rest of the civilised world has long provided its citizens, through progressive taxation.

      In ‘Shithole’ countries like, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, things like healthcare, paid parental leave, low cost or free pre-school education, are simply seen as basic human rights.

      I get it that you’re probably pissed off that all the ‘illegals’ may (if they’re extremely cheeky and persistent) get at the Federal ‘honeypot’, and that they don’t deserve it, because to your mind, they haven’t paid taxes and they’re freeloading. I get that.

      I have no detail about how the Make-Believe Money will be spread around and plenty will still end up in rich pockets, I’m sure you’d agree.

      But a significant proportion will end up on your town, your neighbourhood, your street, probably. Because for the first time in over 30 years, the ‘middle’ income earner (which btw starts at the 89th percentile down) will share some of the accrued wealth as a just reward for their input into the businesses that employed them when they were spouting obscene profits.

      While the Walmart HR adviser would give county assistant forms to their new employees because they were paying starvation wages, who was paying for that Walmart subsidy? You, as a county taxpayer. So who is the parasite in that situation, who gets fat off the taxpayer’s blood? The ‘Welfare Queen’ or ‘ The Pimp’?

      What you call “Socialism” isn’t what Socialism really is – I t’s a common-law, common-purpose and common-sense way in which to generate a sense of fairness in a complex world.

      Watch this for a different perspective to what you might normally watch.

    I wondered how and why the left turned the Rittenhouse trial into a sort of referendum on racism. Everybody at the center of it is white, for cryin’ out loud!!!

    I won’t bore you with the details of my deliberations. My conclusion is that the trial/verdict and its aftermath amount to an old-fashioned proxy war, at least from the left’s point of view. So, to them, if Rittenhouse walks, it’s war. His innocence matters not a jot.

    • MaryMaryFullOfPride November 19, 2021 at 11:09 am #

      I don’t think so. I think the trial being televised took the wind out of the sails of Antifa and BLM. they don’t have any skin in the game, even though they are trying to make it about ‘institutional racism.’ Not enough are buying in.

      I think if Rittenhouse is found guilty though that will be an enormous miscarriage of justice. And he will probably win easily on appeal. And if that happens, it will probably be just to show the power the corrupt Democrat machine has over the court system.

      • Beryl of Oyl November 19, 2021 at 11:54 am #

        BLM has outlived its usefulness, just like Westboro Baptist.

        A BLM leader threatened the mayor-elect Eric Adams in NYC, after Adams said he would bring back plainclothes anti-crime cops.

        My guess is this person, Hawk is his name, is about to find out, in a big way.

      • Islander November 19, 2021 at 12:48 pm #

        Re Rittenhouse, from a comment at the Market Ticker:

        “So I actually, think this is one of the main reasons the MSM, the Left, Karens, etc are so focused on the Rittenhouse case – a case of obvious self defense. They just cannot allow someone – especially a young white male – who brought an “evil” AR-15 to protect himself, win this case in court. They need him to rot in prison. Otherwise they probably feel it will embolden others to dash into the fray and protect life and property instead of sitting down and taking their shit.’

        Read the whole ticker to get the context of the comment.

        Namely: Things are going to get nasty, esp. if our overlords imagine that we will NOT defend ourselves. Best that they understand that the price for further attacks will be high, and they will feel it in their own bodies and ability to survive.

        • MaryMaryFullOfPride November 19, 2021 at 1:37 pm #

          No matter the outcome of the trial, Rittenhouse did defend himself and millions see that.

          But I totally take his point – their message is that we should be helpless and trust the government to take care of us, in every aspect of our lives. Even as they are trying to kill us – lol.

          • SW November 19, 2021 at 2:53 pm #

            BLM and Antifa don’t stand to gain by the Rittenhouse trial as the attackers were white criminals and the prosecution has carefully avoided any opportunity for the defense to bring this to the juries’ attention.

            My guess is this about an upcoming, intensified campaign to nullify the second amendment. The prosecution has presented Rittenhouse as being a young man who went there that night with the intention of shooting people. Since many of the mass murderers that have made the news are young white men, he’s the perfect poster boy for this campaign.

            IMO, he acted in self-defense but both he and his parents showed terrible judgment by allowing him to show up at such a volatile situation. I don’t expect a 17 year old to have good judgement but his parents should have known better.

          It’s called Black Friday, and it’s celebrating by young men camping out in long lines to buy overpriced gadgets for themselves, or for the poor folks, trampling each other in Walmart.

      Polls. Rigged, like just about everything else.

      If a well-conducted poll could be found, I suspect the % is a lot lower than 30.

      There will be the 10-12 % who will never admit the problem, whatever their motivation. Add in some others who just want everything to collapse and “Brandon” is the patsy. Thus, the “numbers” will never go to 0%.

    The only war we will have is going to be choreographed just like everything else in this world. The Banksters have already bought every country in the world, including china, russia and the ussa. Since history is written by the winners, starting with the bible, well, you know where it started and where we are at now. Anybody who thinks that Christ was crucified for turning water into wine, or feeding the homeless is a moron. He was at war with the bankers and finally got snitched off for money…he called them money changers then. Was the most wanted man in the known world, and talk about violent, ask any money changer in a temple. It’s always about money. Banksters win, get too greedy, everything falls apart. Rinse, Repeat, etc. The problem is all the rest of humanity paying the cost over and over again. Until people realize that until the bankster families are gone, IT WILL NEVER FUCKING END.

    President Biden is briefly transferring the power of the presidency to Vice President Kamala Harris as he undergoes a routine physical.

    The White House announced that Biden would be going under anesthesia to receive a colonoscopy at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, making Harris the first woman to hold powers of the presidency.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/biden-briefly-transfers-power-to-harris-making-her-the-first-woman-in-us-history-to-hold-the-presidency-153553211.html

    He was dead before he took office, but what if he doesn’t wake up? I can only think that, in addition to what JHK wrote about above, life in America must be somewhat like what we inflicted upon other nations/cultures/societies for the last 200 years or so. Total chaotic shitstorms.

    Is Karma a bitch? Maybe, but it shouldn’t be from those who purport to lead your nation but are actually traitors and Gucci thugs. Off with their heads!

    AUSTRIA is doing exactly that Jim!

    A week ago it was lockdown for the pure ones (those not yet injected). Next week everyone, including the injected and the recovered, must go in lockdown. And starting February 1, all citizens must be injected per central government command.

    Should we even use the word “citizen” anymore? It seems to have lost it’s traditional meaning now that man’s rights have been pruned back to the trunk.

          Someone left this in a comment at ecosophia: The leader of the Freedom Party (FPÖ), Herbert Kickl, called for a “mega-demonstration” on November 20 in Vienna.

          Shortly afterwards, Manfred Haidinger, president of the Austrian Armed Forces Union (FGÖ), followed suit and joined in with the call in a letter published on November 14. He intends to “defend fundamental rights and freedoms”. The FGÖ specifies that “everyone” is allowed to demonstrate, even if they are confined!

          The obligation of control imposed by the Minister of the Interior, Karl Nehammer, has already been rejected by the police union. In addition, the Union of Austrian Armed Forces announced that they will participate in the big rally in Vienna.

          Government in panic

          This is a resounding slap in the face for the government, which, according to the Austrian media, is becoming increasingly panicked.

          Hermann Greylinger, president of the Social Democratic Trade Unions (FSG) and the police union, left no doubt in an interview that the police feel unable to carry out these checks, according to the weekly Wochenblick.

    But what about the bright EV future? If the US is failing, how could EV makers Rivian and Lucent (neither of which ever sold an automobile) be worth $80 billion and $100 billion respectively? Surely there must be a mass market out there for a Rivian electric pickup truck ($80,000) and a Lucent lux auto ($160,000). And why would GM invest $2.5 billion in a plant in Hamtramk, Michigan to build an electric Hummer ($130,000) if the country is falling apart? These companies must have economists who do market research; clearly they have told their employer that Americans are flush with cash and millions of buyers are lining up, eager to fork over an average $100,000 for a motor vehicle that takes 12 hours to charge up, and has a 300 mile range before you have to do it all over again.

        People don’t even realize how much hidden energy is used in our day-to-day living. For example, there’s a lot of petroleum consumption that go into hybrid and EV auto construction beyond the obvious use of gasoline, such that the actual energy savings are small or non-existant. People’s concept of energy consumption is limited to how much they pay

        • beantownbill. November 19, 2021 at 2:07 pm #

          Oops, fat finger. People’s concept of energy consumption is limited to how much gasoline they use for driving; they don’t consider oil changes, hybrid battery energy costs and such, so their energy knowledge is not very deep.

      • Islander November 19, 2021 at 4:59 pm #

        I recently read a company profile and update for shareholders for a natural gas infrastructure company that emphasized out rosy the future was because of the growth in ev use: because the ev owners who plug in their vehicles for a boost of energy will be getting that energy from gas-fueled power plants.

        Yep. Here is the quote:

        “”Note the areas that [the company] EPD is increasing investment in: Petrochemicals, NG, and NGLs – segments with very strong fundamentals and will directly benefit from the push for “green” energy. . . . When you plug your car in, where is that electricity coming from? A natural gas powerplant is increasingly becoming the answer.””

        The “green” revolution is a scam whose “profits” come from subsidies. It is going to be a disaster for all living things, as more and more habitat needed for species to evolve and adapt is destroyed.

        350 right whales left, but the “green energy” people are constructing 180 huge turbine towers in the middle of the whales’ breeding and feeding grounds south of Martha’s Vineyard. The turbines will never pay for themselves with the power they generate. I just read, AAMOF, that the generating capacity of the turbines declines as much as 4.5% per year. . . .

      Heckler, I keep pointing out that you can’t make sense of the present because you have such a strong normalcy bias when looking at the horizon of the future.

      Investing worthless US$ now to build infrastructure for the meaningful production of luxurious EVs in the future does make perfect sense once one understands that the future is Techno-Feudal Serfdom for 99.9% of the 0.5B people left alive.

          And one thing that wasn’t mentioned as America got run out of Afghanistan by heroin farmers is that the country is a treasure trove of rare minerals. Maybe hanging on there for twenty years had more to do with that than educating girls without head scarves.

Our dear Queen Lizard and the House of Bush could not have that. They invaded Afghanistan in the Fall of 2001 and ensured that Afghan farmers grew opium for their lucrative heroin trade for 2 final decades of life-destroying profits.

    It’s kill, or be killed. This IS IS IS the correct response when one is being maimed or killed. 100% logical. American citizens don’t see this. They are too degraded and anesthetized. Jefferson has the foresight to warn us over 200 years ago! If these usurpers aren’t dragged out of their agencies, departments, offices, etc. and forcefully removed (some executed for treason, some imprisoned, some banned from public office) we will lose our country. How can you think you can depend upon “rule of law”, or use vehicles such as elections, the courts, etc. to reform your city, state, or country when these evil and corrupt actors OWN AND RUN EVERYTHING!?!?!? You can’t save our country using the system. We have to go outside the system, a la French Revolution and remove the cancer (yet, this time do it correctly by REINSTATING our Constitution, Bill of Rights, Rule of Law, etc. etc.) and rebuild this nightmare back into the great, capitalist, benevolent, nation-state that it was intended to be.

The means to accomplish One World Government, One World Currency, and the One World Survaillence State will shortly be unavailable.

            Stay away from allegedly “smart” phones!

            I have a dumb little Samsung prepay flip phone that has, however, worked for about a decade.

            I was upgraded to a new “plan” or program or some such that supposedly works with 3G. I had no choice in the matter. Verizon said they were burying 2G.

            The thing is, that now it looks like no texts are coming through in either direction. I never used it a lot for texting, but a few friends and relatives like to text, so I need to be able to quickly text back something short like yes or no.

            So I am thinking they are trying to prevent people from keeping it simple with a flip phone.

            They want everyone on the umbilical cord.

            Screw that.

            @draup &TCL,

            You are suffering from normalcy bias.

            The key words was TCL referring to “per capita.”

            We are so entrenched into changing the numerator because that is all we have known since World War II. The numerator is the variable while the population is slow, steady growth.

            TPTB are now varying the denominator. When they reduce 8B to 0.5B, they have increased energy per capita 16-fold while Total Energy remains unchanged.

            —–

            TPTB have not started this without a complete game plan. I Believe that they will allow some disruptive anarchy (starting with our promised “dark winter”) along the way but, make no mistake, they have the resources, the plans and the fortitude to implement their One World Government with One World Currency and One World Religion. It will be.

            They know what they are doing.

            So do we – God told us.

            Subsidiarity
            Political ideology
            Subsidiarity is a principle of social organization that holds that social and political issues should be dealt with at the most immediate level that is consistent with their resolution. Wikipedia

            / (s?b?s?d??ær?t?) / noun. (in the Roman Catholic Church) a principle of social doctrine that all social bodies exist for the sake of the individual so that what individuals are able to do, society should not take over, and what small societies can do, larger societies should not take over.

      I don’t believe that Sun Tzu ever expressed any strategy as “kill or be killed”. He may have alluded to it as specific tactic for a specific situation.

        Otherwise you will become extinct, and deserve to be so, since you didn’t follow a basic principle of life and survival… KILL, OR BE KILLED.

          Import that file into Excel 2003
          Wrote an Excel VBA macro to assign each paragraph to its poster
          Sorted that mess by poster
          Calculate the Word Count of each paragraph
          Sum the Word Counts by poster
          Calculate percentages of Word Count by each poster
          Provide the results to CFN

    About half way through Jims offering. Saw “Boasberg”, that means the snake around the castle, or fort..

    Will go back and finish reading…

    Now every name mentioned seems rife with meaning, not least of which, Contreras, or one who goes against, is contrary, the counter of.

    We have Joe & family
    Winter & the law, (now feckless servant of Oroborus)
    Alphabet agencies colluding with powers to contra the very truth,…
    Veritas, the steaming showering touching truth.

    And speaking as the mother of all crack whores
    But for the temple itself, for God I mean,
    I think this is a moment to call to mind
    That even whores in service of the good
    Can sometimes point out the shadows

            Oh! In other news, today Padre synthesized what’s up in Maccabees.
            So Alexander the Greats only heir conquers Judea, he rules from Greece. His army is forcing the Jews to eat pork or die as a way to demoralize the populace, while also trashing and desecrating the temple.
            A mother watches her 8 sons get killed before her for refusing.
            They approach and old Jew, tell him that they’ll give him chicken instead of pork so the rest of Judea will follow his example.
            He chooses to die instead, He says something like, ‘Why would I want that on my conscience?’

            That was his line in the sand.

            The Maccabees rise up and win.
            They rededicate the temple.
            It takes 8 days.

    I am impressed with the courage of the jury in the Rittenhouse case.
    It was very obvious that he was defending himself, but everyone knows that the DNC brownshirts are violent.
    But they did their job.

    • MaryMaryFullOfPride November 19, 2021 at 1:44 pm #

      Just saw the news: Rittenhouse NOT GUILTY on ALL COUNTS.

      Finally, some justice.

      Yes, that jury is to be commended. And now, Rittenhouse probably has to watch his back. I have been seeing so many people making death threats. HOpe it’s just social media false bravado.

    Mr. Kunstler,

    Again, you’ve hit the nail on the head, “…Because we are ever deeper into the age of Anything Goes and Nothing Matters. Every institution in American life is failing.”

    Plus, it’s been reported that Biden is selling oil stored in the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to people in Asia:
    https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/11/something_very_peculiar_is_happening_with_our_strategic_petroleum_reserve.html

    Biden is more fucked up than a football bat.

    Let’s Go Brandon!

    • thirdcoastlegend November 19, 2021 at 2:45 pm #

      Relax.

      That oil is probably just going to cutouts and shell companies owned by the CCP.

      Makes sense because we know the big guy works for Xi.

    • O.G. Hawkins November 19, 2021 at 3:25 pm #

      China owns the USA. China bought the USA fair and square. The USA sold itself to China in exchange for 3 decades of everyday low prices. China has the US$ T-Bills as their proof of purchase.

      The “Joe Biden” Administration is exactly that. They are there to administer payment owed from USA to China.

      Like most of us, when the boss says, “Jump!”, we jump.

      President Joseph Biden has promised Americans “a dark winter.” He will deliver.

      • thirdcoastlegend November 19, 2021 at 7:18 pm #

        Shopping carts full of savings!

        Rumor has it that Biden actually sold Afghanistan and all that gear to the Chicoms to keep the Treasury sales going a bit longer!

        • O.G. Hawkins November 19, 2021 at 7:27 pm #

          That rumour does nicely mesh with the facts.

          • O.G. Hawkins November 19, 2021 at 7:40 pm #

            And, specifically, I mean the seemingly haphazard cluster-fuck US withdrawal from Afghanistan whereby billions of US$ MIC gear was left, oil changed, gassed up and keys in the ignition.

            —–

            That said, I do still Believe that the timing of Aug. 31, 2021 was set by the House of Bush as they shuttered Afghanistan because they knew that their multi-generational, lucrative heroin industry is now completed as global depop begins.

            Heroin use seems low-rent, dirty, scummy and it is. But it can only run on the margins of wealthy societies. With global depop, Good people will do Bad things for food like, in properous times, junkies did for their next fix.

    I like what this commenter said about the Rittenhouse acquittal:

    “Not a hung jury. Not a mistrial. Despite all of the prosecutIons fuckery at the end, 12 jurors looked at all of the evidence and agreed this was self defense.

    And yet, for the past year if you posted that position on Facebook, IG or Twitter it could be removed if someone reported it for “violating community guidelines”. Kid wasn’t even allowed to have a GoFundMe to cover legal costs.

    And anyone looking at the fact pattern in the case could see that this was self defense. The whole thing started because an insane child rapist who had just been released from a mental hospital earlier in the day chased Kyle, a minor at the time, around a dark parking lot.

    Then he was attacked with a skateboard. Then a dude who was illegally conceal/carrying a gun pointed it at him after pretending to put his hands up.

    And the Democrats and the media defended all of that shit. Tried to paint the five time child rapist as a good family man.

    I’m glad this kid walked, but our media is a fucking joke.”

    James Howard: Domo Arigatou gozaimasu Sensei. You are truly a “teacher” to we here. I hadn’t ANY notion as to the incredibly illicit attempt at covering the nefariously criminal FISA activity of past months. Another attempt at a major “slap and tickle”.
    For all given to the small group of evil genius’ explanation, I think not. Gates, Soros et al are certainly funding, sometimes directing events detrimental to society at large, but do not extent orchestration of multiple, seemingly interlocking trends to a coordinated plan by a “few” billionaires. Serendipity plays a large part, in that increasing the money/power equation involves similar actions of a small group, not necessarily in concert for world domination. And exactly WHAT would one (two, three) do with that? Have their pick of men/boys/women/girls? Best whiskey (Dalwhinnies). What of the second week of “world control”? Think about this please, before comments.
    As it always has and forever will, that which IMMEDIATELY affects you, your loved ones (not always family only), your town is what should motivate you to identify, plan and execute a course of corrective action. Unless you desire fame -or infamy, going beyond these stated boundaries is exposing oneself to suicidal vagaries. Cost/benefit analysis applied to ALL constructs.

      My bet is on Oban, as whiskey of choice. Sometimes meat puppets alone do not suffice to sate the beast, or 3. Something stranger in the gyre itself, perhaps a Transylvanian?
      And oh, I see your domo, James, and raise you a quote from the Way of the Samurai,

      I“This is the substance of the Way of the Samurai: if by setting one’s heart right every morning and evening, one is able to live as though his body were already dead, he gains freedom in the Way. his whole life will be without blame, and he will succeed in his calling.”

      “Engage in combat fully determined to die and you will be alive; wish to survive in the battle and you will surely meet death.”

      The money…. Hagakure is sometimes said to assert that bushido is really the “Way of Dying” or living as though one was already dead, and that a samurai must be willing to die at any moment in order to be true to his lord.

      • Blackbird November 19, 2021 at 8:05 pm #

        “[L]iving as though one was already dead”. Once we quit clinging to the pathetic, tattered fragments of our former lives, we can really begin to live. Well, I think so anyway. Had glimpses of it. Don’t quite live there, yet.

        When I worked part-time at a small advertising agency in Osaka, around 1983, my superior advised me that he was going to visit his grave site the next day, and that I should be thinking along the same lines.

        I was 42; he was a couple of years younger.

        I pressed him for more insights, politely. Not simply because he was the boss but I also wanted to coax out of him more of the rationale impelling him toward non-existence. He was thin and drawn; like most Japanese businessmen he looked like the company and its duties were sucking the life from him.

        Nothing more did he care to share; still, visiting your already-constructed tomb struck me as a curious avocation for an average middle-aged, middle-class executive in a big city.

        One of the reasons I became disillusioned about staying in Japan was the ambient desperate unhappiness of just about everyone I came into contact with, in spite of evident material prosperity (tough times were still a few years away). That, and the pervasive atheism, is most likely linked to the impulse to be drawn toward death.

        The prodigious consumption of alcohol does not help, either.

        • MaryMaryFullOfPride November 20, 2021 at 10:28 am #

          Interesting – I didn’t know that the Japanese were huge drinkers.

          I’ve had sake, good stuff. It’s been years now though that I’ve tasted it.

        • anmariwakaranai November 20, 2021 at 1:38 pm #

          BB, the good doc also took me to his shrine, a stellae, ( see synonyms for light pillars and obelisks), of prodigious proportions in the bowels of Kagoshima prefecture. I have a photo of us, doc, wife, me in the middle, just in front of the huge light grey granite shaft,inscribed in golden kanji, describing an illustrious life. But no kids, end of the line.

          Around this time the wife gave me one of her wedding kimonos, autum colours on a wide ribbed off white pearlescent backdrop, burnt orange obi cinched my waist, fine cotton underslip, a kimono as well to protect this piece of toil & great finery. Funery to me then, and is long gone, sacrificed at the alter of fashion by a designer in the midst of a breakdown, oh Max, I am so sorry now I blew. It was priceless, but in the end, like us, it isn’t and doesn’t matter.

          There is a pervasive grey mist bubbling up around us in the roaring previously blood soaked jungle, ancient toppled ancestors
          Varied coloured obelisks abound, and one perhaps for him,
          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyotomi_Hideyoshi, or some other doyen of Toyokazus line.

          He keeps trying to touch me, on the roof of the hospital where we practice long bow, in my lead glove, shuddering at the constant thirty pound draw weight, him behind, rubbing his junk on my back, and I arch to avoid this but am too cowed to throw him from the roof in front of witnesses.

          In the taxi, deep in Tokyo, grabbing my hand, and I let him do this, staring out into the grey drizzle, the noodle stands dripping with toasted octopi & beer, praying for and end. And then the painter, for my portrait, buried deep now in the museum archives,, some gaigin chicklet chosen to further his seed.

          The painters studio deep in somber drips from decades at his craft, anthill mountains of paint lay below the easel, he was nearly blind. I am a ghost in his portrait, a sea foam apparition.

          I think that’s why they chose me, I wouldn’t be missed, last daughter of big family, all the requisite genes.

          Under the winter blanket at the kitchen table, always reaching, touching grabbing. How could I kick him away before his very wife? The shame.

          ==========

          Last night I saw the ghost of my father who showed me how to live. I was doing dishes, and I choked, and then a sudden salty rinse. I did not know my feelings were this raw, this incapacitating. The hollow mockery that I am here an attempt to turn away from falling, and look how that worked out.

          But all things in the end work for the way of the master. And when you give yourself fully to one way, all ways are perfected. I know therefore that all shall be well, though I still take thumb, first thing, and trace a small cross on my third eye, lips, heart and shoulders saying, on each designation, ‘burn me in your flames of mercy sacred heart, in your immaculate heart intercede & purify me, in your most chaste heart, that furnace, let me too be free.

        • hmuller November 20, 2021 at 9:30 pm #

          I don’t know much about the Japanese.

          But I find it interesting that like they like to contemplate cherry blossoms, while thinking:

          “How beautiful, how transitory, how sad.”

          That seems to sum up their attitude towards their own lives.

          I did live in Korea for 5 years. All their mental un-health, insecurities, rage and self-pity seem routed in more mundane concerns.

          • anmariwakaranai November 21, 2021 at 11:36 am #

            Muller, They took me to a cherry blossom festival, Shinto I believe, on the banks of some river where we sat down with obento boxes of unimaginable delights….
            The blossoms were beautiful, some already falling, trees lining the banks, us on our blankets against the spring damp.
            I forget the ceremony itself, but remember the costumes.

            In fact, the thing is, all the Japan I experienced outside the worship of Mickey Mouse and the encouraging of ‘idoru’, or idols, that young girls and boys would put up on their walls and literally worship. One for example was a one or two hit wonder plastered all over teen beat or some similar NA publication at the time, whose name escapes me.

            The school girls drag me to his outdoor concert being held in the town square, central Fukuoka, (happy hill), all in our high school uniforms. We line up to meet the idoru himself afterwards. As the line gets closer, I see him looking at me quizzically. On approach he says, ‘What the hell are you doing here?’, I go to answer but am abruptly moved along by bouncers straddling him on either side.

            Around the same time I see John Denver or his dopplganger walking past me in the underground market. I see on the news there is a concert coming up. That guy was short!

            One more. The same girls drag me to a Police concert @ Buddokhan which btw just means big stadium. We file into place and take a seat on the cement floor, which has been divided by squares of about 10 or 15 meters roped off with wire….razor or barb or probably electric. Yes, electric.

            The girls are swooning. I sing along with Do Do Do, Dah Dah Dah. The drummer starts saying some bad shit considering some of these kids might understand. Sting tries out a few Japanese words….the equivalent of , ‘ Hello Wembly!’….

            Back to cherry blossoms. The thing that best sums up my admittedly maybe uniquely seen Japan, from the whole dying courtly Daimyo perspective, may just be a card game called Hyakunin Isshyu…
            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogura_Hyakunin_Isshu
            Better to look at the pictures contained in it, and read the poems.
            These in link do not do justice to the set I had, maybe a hundred years old, vividly coloured and laminated, 7 layers of a ladies courtly kimono all showing, shining black hair tied and streaming to the floor, graphic sex I think too. That deck also long gone in a forced attempt to eschew things I really loved.
            https://swisscows.com/image?query=hyakkunin%20ishu%20images&culture=en

            But what was indicative to their plight in these cards to me was the game, the dance, the motions all were going through to just carry on in case of an extinction event that they seemed to be actively encouraging with public policy and death by overwork.

            They are masters of the esthetic. The shin, soy, tai of a flower arrangement. How on earth did they intuit the Holy trinity in nature? Search me. Post and beam construction, better than our approach I think. All gates are to heaven, the kami await.

            And imagine, before they disemboweled then burnt the Jesuits that converted pockets of them some 4 or 5 hundred years ago
            now, they accepted a faith that they hid for hundreds of years without a sacrifice, a ceremony, a mass. Reminds me of hawk.

            So, for the faithful. Hidden for three years and a bit. It is not too long. There is protection and succor avaible. You know where.

          • anmariwakaranai November 21, 2021 at 12:12 pm #

            And Muller, during my layover in Seoul a cabby told me in Japanese, remembering the occupation, how they were despised, the japs, and cruel, vicious even, and it clicked with me remembering the road crews in Japan and how they were all middle aged women and my asking wtf is up with that? And being told, they’re Korean, roll eyes.

            Then in the hotel ordering a curry dinner, to my room and the young dude who brought it trying physically to force himself on me and my easily dispatching him, but still it sickens.

            Then again! At the airport in customs when they tell me this long bow and quiver of arrows can not go on the plane back to NA. And me still having balls of steel only available to the very young and very stupid saying, ‘Fine, the plane can leave without me then.’

            Because I knew these fuckers wanted that heirloom I was carrying and it would disappear in a heartbeat if put in with the stowed luggage. So in the end they duct taped the whole thing and it sat next to the stewardess en route. Removing the tape proved difficult, tearing a lot of the 100 or so layers of laquer and infinate shibusa ( shibui, understated elegance, like beauty versus the sublime), of the design on said quiver.

            My living brother has it now, among his many stuffed heads and bodies, other interesting collections, where the wise store their wealth as a hedge against, you know.

            He is fully ammoed up. Lives in a fortress. Does he have food and water? No. He is under a forced delusion.

          • Jarek November 21, 2021 at 12:15 pm #

            The Jesuits started a war on one of the main islands – which they lost. Hundreds of thousands were killed – all because they couldn’t accept Japanese culture and insisted that the converts stop bowing down to the Emperor. In other words, become disloyal in the eyes of other Japanese.

            They learned from that and never tried the same foolishness in China, where they made millions of converts.

            The question now arises: Did we really have to be so abrasive in Ancient Rome? Burning incense to the Emperor or bowing was just their version of the Pledge of Allegiance or “God Save the Queen”. Civic religion in other words. If other believed that the Emperor was a divine being, descended from the gods, or an incarnation of the Logos or Tao, that’s on them.

            Janjar, that’s why I’m here, to learn at the feet of more than a few masters.
            Admittedly my history is a bit sketchy, or a lot! How could the Jesuits start a war after all the good they did in Goa? Was it synchronous?
            Maybe Jar, the ultimate expression of faith is drawing your line in the sand with the little things, like eating some pork for example, which though it led to a bloodbath, ultimately saved the temple, the people of Israel, and our own Christian heritage by matter of history.
            As celebrated in Hanukkah by the one days oil that lit the lamp for eight days. (Remember this as concerns your food stores.)
            In Isaiah 49, I see the Jews are the light to lead and further it says the survivors of those hated by all nations shall be bowed down to by Princes and by Kings.
            And I don’t think David is speaking soley of Christ and His cohort. ?

    MSM is trying to make fun of people wanting to protect themselves with cheap and proven drugs. Ivermectin has been FDA approved for human use since 1996. It also beats Pfizer’s new wonder drug hands down, and costs next to nothing. Ivermectin doesn’t make tons of money. So they know the Covid shot is on its final gasp, so they take it add something different to it, rebrand under another name and charge 20 times what they would for ivermectin. I cannot wrap my head around this nonsense. When I explain this to my relatives they label me as crazy and ask me if I know better than science. I don’t make up these information out of my ass. All this information is true and proven. For some people it is near impossible for them to wake up. They are comfortable in their clown world life.

      I don’t think I’d trust any new anti-viral pill they came out with specifically for covid. You wouldn’t know what they’d put in it. Sounds like a ploy to get the unvaxxed.

        I thought they had to release the ingredients.

        Probably ivermectin as prime ingredient.

        I would not trust it without an ingredient list and mechanism of action .

        And based on facts, not conjecture like the “vaccine”.

        Unfortunately, this drug is like cannon fodder for the medical PTB. They can order MDs and hospitals to only use the new pills for treatment.

    Given all the tension regarding covid and the Kenosha trial I worry that I am off the reservation a bit posting about the amazing destruction in British Columbia. (just in case there is doubt about my sanity I believe the DNC planted the virus on a Lt Col Vindman-type who was at the military games in Wuhan, effectively framing the Chinese for the pandemic AND providing a level of plausibility for the baked-in-the-cake election result, to say nothing of the opportunities for Deep State tyranny; Q-Anon was/is a CIA psy-op targeting uncritical thinkers desperately seeking an eschatological catharsis. I dare not continue…)

    Nevertheless after viewing the stunning photographs of the destruction I once again was reminded of lines from Eliot’s Four Quartets — in this case The Dry Salvages:

    I do not know much about gods; but I think that the river
    Is a strong brown god — sullen, untamed, and intractable,
    Patient to some degree, at first recognized as a frontier;
    Useful, untrustworthy, as a conveyor of commerce;
    Then only a problem confronting the builder of bridges.
    The problem once solved, the brown god is almost forgotten
    By the dwellers in cities — ever, however, implacable,
    Keeping his seasons and rages, destroyer, reminder
    Of what me choose to forget. Unhonored, unpropitiated
    By worshippers of the machine, but waiting, watching and waiting.

    • hmuller November 19, 2021 at 9:08 pm #

      I had to chuckle when you raised the image of LTC Vindman going to the military athletic games in Wuhan. I pictured round boy attempting to pole vault over the All-You-Can-Eat Buffet and landing in the Mu Shu Pork.

      When You Are Old
      BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

      When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
      And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
      And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
      Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

      How many loved your moments of glad grace,
      And loved your beauty with love false or true,
      But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
      And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

      And bending down beside the glowing bars,
      Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
      And paced upon the mountains overhead
      And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

    Innocent or not, I still think Kyle Rittenhouse is a little prick. Vigilantes of the world unite! Especially those with GUNS.

    Meanwhile, James Alex Fields can rot in hell, for all I care.

      But, dear readers, please pay attention to this idiot not understanding what vigilanteism is.

      An inability to understand the difference between self-defense and a vendetta.

      Tom Clark thinks people who take bear spray into the woods are vigilantes.

      He also thinks women with tasers in their purse are vigilantes.

      Moms with bug spray at the picnic.

      And what of the peaceful-felon-pederast protesters?
      Rioting as a vendetta against the police and the community.

      Peaceful vigilantism everyone!!

      Hoplophobia (n.): The irrational fear of weapons, correctly described by
      Freud as “a sign of emotional and sexual immaturity”. Hoplophobia, like
      homophobia, is a displacement symptom; hoplophobes fear their own
      “forbidden” feelings and urges to commit violence. This would be
      harmless, except that they project these feelings onto others. The
      sequelae of this neurosis include irrational and dangerous behaviors
      such as passing “gun-control” laws and trashing the Constitution.

    • Anthea November 20, 2021 at 8:46 am #

      Thing is, your opinion of Rittenhouse has no relevance to anything at all, and even less interest. It’s just a silly remark.

      You see this at deinner parties sometimes. Everyone is having a stimulating conversaion, but there is always this one guy whose only contribution is, “Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk,” because the only thing he’s ever been interested in is the Three Stooges.

      The polite people at the table–or at least the ones who haven’t yet figured out that he’s a retard–give him a look of perplexity. His wife–or, more likely, ex-wife–rolls her eyes. Everyone else struggles to pretend he never spoke at all.

    Jim,

    Yes, Covid early treatment is surely the best idea and kudos to Steve Kirsch for all his hard work on the subject.

    The problem as I see it is as follows…

    Once someone gets Covid-19, usually accompanied by symptoms, either pre-hospitalization or post hospitalization, there is no way to get anti-viral drugs like Ivermectin in time to save that person…

    If doctors and hospitals refuse to treat with any of the early drug protocols, infected folks can’t get this form of treatment, and even if they could somehow get the drugs through another source, it would probably be too late by the time they could be delivered…

    To sum it up, what good are the protocols if they can’t be administered?

    Perhaps you can address this problem and advise your readers.

    Sam

    • hmuller November 19, 2021 at 4:29 pm #

      Your assumptions that once symptoms appear – it’s too late – is simply wrong. Where did you hear that?

      • JohnAZ November 19, 2021 at 10:14 pm #

        Not too late, before the treatment process was understood in 2020, people would wait too long and the fatal cascade in the lungs would start. Then they were put on vents to pack the drainage in tighter and kill the patients faster.

    Maybe you could say that world – wide , not just poor old America , a half -assed pseudo – religion that was never really any good anyway is failing ?

    Surely computer games and hot dogs , motor cars , air conditioning and the Hubble telescope will be sorely missed.

    I suspect though that , “Dances with Wolves ” was not such a popular movie because people really take seriously the notion that the Indians were pacifists with dry cleaners hidden away in a tipi.

    Or because White people are really so bad except as subjects in soft core porn.

    But because holes in the ozone layer , data banks exercising a tyranny worse than anything feudalism was ever capable of , microscopes shoved up your ass , and not for your health , and concentration camps ,

        Here , the girl is perpetually child – like , arriving at nymphomania not through decadence , but through nature.

        And it’s not a liquor store , but a lifestyle where you wander at will , no tyranny of money or time clocks , eat meat every day , and party all the time.

    Faux News Network, Fri, Nov 19, 2021.

    In a major move on the social media scene today, ParanoidPsychotics.com announced the acquisition of two related sites UnderMyBed.com and CovidCowards.com. The acquisition instantly boosted ParanoidPsychotics’ stock price by 50%. The move was considered synergistic by most analysts, and the plan is to merge the three sites under a single banner, with separate pages for each sub-community to further elaborate on and explore their own particular neuroses. It’s expected that the new format will naturally encourage cross-linking and posting, allowing the rapidly growing CovidCoward community, who’ve already displayed an affinity for UnderMyBed type fetishes, to further explore the much wider world of paranoid psychoses in general, something a few of the more intrepid members of the CovidCoward community had expressed a longing for in online surveys. Other, up to this point largely unrepresented members of the paranoid psychotics’ community, including face diaperists, vaxx nazis, and lockdown camp supporters joined in celebrating the move.

    Noted poster JohnAZ elaborated from under his bed in suburban Arizona: “This move is long awaited and overdue for those of us scared out of our minds from a phantom bug that poses no actual threat to anyone. I’ve spent many a long night under my bed here in my suburban gated community enclave, comforted only by the light of my laptop as I commiserated and shared my every paranoid psychotic fantasy with other like-minded members of the UnderMyBed and CovidCoward communities. But thanks to this merger, I’m overjoyed to find that I can instantly exponentially expand my sharing of all utterly groundless concerns with all the other sniveling cowards out there just like me, and in the process, begin to embrace their psychotic fears as my own. I call that win-win from where I lay looking up at the bottom of my mattress. I’m looking forward to many long future hours during the coming Dark Winter on this new improved site stoking my fears, and in my own small way, stoking the groundless fears of others. Yes, it’s true that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, but with so many groundless fears out there to be afraid of, that’s a full-time job! Now, get the fuck out of here! I’ve heard Covid can be transmitted over the internet, so I’m out of here!”

    Late to the game again Jim, but better late than never. All that you have itemized in the corruption of our system is exactly what those of us that fought corruption at our local level saw from the inside. Without oversight, without higher authorities with power to protect what is right and prevent what is wrong, chaos results. In a podcast with Dr. Mercola, Dr. David Martin replies to a question of how this happened with a remark that it all began with the corruption of the judicial system. Bingo! Without a justice system there can be no justice, and in a system where everything is for sale, eventually everything gets bought by the highest bidder. .

    In corrupt systems of rule, might makes right and that is where we are today. I feel like a member of a group of rabbis meeting in a cellar in Warsaw in 1939 complaining that Dr. Goebbels is printing up lies in the papers and perhaps we should write a letter to Herr Hitler and ask him to put a stop to it.

    To anyone offended by the comparison of those events past and what is unfolding today, I would say that yes it is different today. Back then the evil was isolated to a relatively small area compared to the movement that is in play today on a global scale. There will be no good guys available to ride to the rescue.

    JHK asks, how does this lying prick get to be America’s chief public health officer?

    How does anyone that aspires to high office actually get there? By lying. By telling people around them what they want to hear, those being bosses and peers and people with influence that can make or break.

    How do car companies come to the conclusion that EVs are viable given their impracticality and cost? Why do they invest billions in the making of these contraptions?

    By lying to themselves. See, company execs – not just car company execs – have got ‘consultants’ of various stripes, from both inside and outside the firm, who, by virtue of social aptitude, understand the conclusions they’re expected to provide, and then by means of ‘studies’ containing those conclusions – of course draped in a lot of technical jargon plus the requisite spreadsheets – tell the execs what the execs want to hear.

    What do the studies show? Well, damn, they show that people have a lot of money. That’s from the economists. Yes, the economists say there is a market for these things, there is indeed. Never mind that economists have never ever been right about anything ever except maybe by accident, as sad-sack a crew of second-raters as ever existed, who prove daily that ambition without talent is a terrible thing.

    But what about the engineers? What do they say? They say that the technical hurdles can be surmounted. Well, what did you think they’d say? That’s how engineers earn their pay, by surmounting technical hurdles.

    What do Wall Street sharpies say? They say that the metrics all point in the same direction, the RIGHT direction. They say that riches beckon. They say that the company is a buy, a buy for certain, undervalued, grossly undervalued, yes, at the very least a solid hold, an essential part of any growth portfolio. But then they always say shit like that.

    This is how people stay employed, not by telling the truth, nor even anything approximating the truth, but rather by way of social cue and verbal and written presentation skill, convince others that they’re solid and dependable.

    How can it be, that in this modern age, companies that have no hope in hell of making a profit let alone paying a dividend, or whose results show rivers of revenue and sales but paltry trickles of profit, have got founders that have paper wealth that would make a pharaoh faint? It’s by others willing suspension of disbelief, by outsourcing what ought to be done for one’s self: thinking, assessing, using basic reasoning skills.

    So, with this pandemic, what are we doing? Are we following the dictates of science or even simple common sense? Do we seriously think that all these lockdowns and restrictions do a stitch of good? Given that the vast majority of deaths from this thing are apparently the elderly or the already very sick, what earthly sense does it make? Do we even ask whether shutdowns are doing more harm than good? Are disease stats even worth a damn? Do diagnostic tests even work? How can it be that we’ve done everything except what fact and practicality require?

    It’s because 1) there’s a lot of money to be made out of this debacle by certain interests and 2) we’re too lazy to think for ourselves. We listen to lies. We believe. Like the sheep we are, we do what we’re told.

      Easy, how can you control the people if you tell them the truth. Why would they, the government, invest in R&D on a disease that might not be scary enough to control public opinion? Other than anecdotal data, the database for both the disease and the vaccine is relatively non existent. VAERs is a joke, no info on fatality or adverse effects, no data reduction.

          They buy into it because it is all they hear. How many media sources broadcast real data about anything, let alone Covid data, what little of it exists. I am astounded at the uniformity of the magazines and newspapers reporting supporting Leftist agendas, including Covid. As an example, I have never heard in the press that Covid is a hoax, a opinion discussed on CFN often.

          The three TV channels are a disgrace to their journalistic roots. Their biased reporting is infamous and ongoing.

          Three conservative channels exist on cable and even they are intimidated by Leftist propaganda related to Covid. The remaining two are a joke.

          So what is to be expected with the continuous outflow of BS coming from the vast majority of the media? Trump could not beat it, even!

          One more comment. The American public is notoriously optimistic. Could it be that the dose of reality that Covid and the vaccines have presented has thrown them into denial and all they want to hear is fairy tales? I personally know a few that fit this category.

          I was one until actual data instead of conjecture started showing the negative side of the way things were being handled. Only Covid tho’, the rest of the Leftist propaganda is an enemy of the public.

      Wow, much to unpack in that post of yours, Proton.

      “Do we even ask whether shutdowns are doing more harm than good?” – Proton

      Three stories I heard briefly in local news within the past week:

      1) Opioid/fentanyl OD deaths in US for 2021 stand at 103,000 and counting.

      2) Auto accident fatalities up 22% for 2021 in Ct over previous 5 years.

      3) Unprecented outbreaks of violence in Connecticut High Schools in 2021, authorities struggling to contain it.

      That perhaps partly addresses the question.

      Also, great insight into recent EV IPOs, which seem to me to be nothing more than a fraudulent pump and dump scheme. I wish I could have stated the situation as clearly as you have.

      Good show, my friend.

        Points 1and 2 and 3 are perfectly valid facts to throw at the inside-the box-thinkers in the expert class. Medical people think inside the medical box and can only think about disease transmission and give short shrift to any other consideration, like what you just said. Or the economic wreckage of Main Street caused by repeated shut-downs. Imagine the ruined lives from that, and wrecked marriages and families. They made Amazon rich.

    “Doctors” aren’t really “Doctors” anymore? They’re more akin to “State Medical Workers”, right? They do the bidding of the State, right?

    Did you ever read Huxley’s “Brave New World”?

    “ Doctors who answered those questions for themselves and prescribed ivermectin after early September faced growing scrutiny and heavy-handed tactics including censorship, threats to their license and board certification, and other repressive policies from governments and medical boards. Pharmacists, including the large chains like CVS and Walmart, refused to fill prescriptions. “For the first time in history, pharmacies were telling doctors what they can and cannot prescribe,” says Dr. McCullough. The directives shattered the traditional sacred relationship between doctors and patients that the profession had nurtured and protected since Hippocrates. The medical profession has long told doctors that their single obligation is to their patients. The AMA’s declaration helped march doctors into their new role as agents of state policy. The state policy is to prescribe treatments, not based upon the health interests of the individual patient but based upon the perceived best interests of the state. “The suppression of HCQ and IVM is one of the greatest tragedies and crimes of the modern era,” Dr. Peter Breggin told me. Dr. Breggin, who has been called “The Conscience of Psychiatry,” by author Candace Pert, is the author of Talking Back to Prozac and COVID-19 and the Global Predators.70”

      Hmmm.

      Could it be?

      Could it be that the entire medical R&D group in the US were counting on the mRNA technology for the next major move in medicine. I know talk has been going on about cancer interdiction in the future, but lately that vaccine mRNA for lots of viruses is being bandied about. Money is paramount, but could it be that future development in medical medicine is dependent on the goodness of mRNA? We’re the medical PTB totally counting on mRNA to continue future cures?

      Did they look upon the cures, such as Ivermectin, to be a confounding factor that would cloud the goodness of their super drugs?

      IMHO, they were sold a bill of goods by the leaders of the mRNA industry. All the models pointed to a wonderful new technology for the 21st century. Figuring out the carrier for the RNA was the final step. It happened recently, just before the vaccine release.

      The models all predicted success. Damn, what happened?

      The darn process did not follow the models. Release of the mRNA and/or s protein directly into the bloodstream was a factor, clots. Escape into the bloodstream causes reaction with muscles including the heart. Something crosses the blood brain barrier and causes problems in the brain. The stuff just refused to stay in the muscle as modeled, doggonit.

      Short term effects are enough to shut the sucker down except for maybe the highest risk areas. The long term effects could have been studied by using old folks, or high risk others.

      Politics from both sides caused the release that happened. Trump put all his reputation for reelection on getting the vaccines out. The public was in a panic with misinformation.

      Look at it this way, the public was just as panicked by the effects of Covid by the Left and their spokesman the media as they were by the lies about Trump. If you remember right, the Left was talking down the vaccine because it was developed “by Trump”.

      Any way the vaccine hit and the adverse effects started immediately.. clots, heart inflammation, other organ inflammation, joint pain, muscle pain and so forth. Small amounts but worrisome if it got to the public.

      Thus started the biggest coverup in history, by DC, Pfizer et al. One by one, the benefits of the vaxx were torn down as info was gathered. The initial number, efficacy in the 90% range was reduced by actions of the immune system itself. It looks like possibly the memory humoral and cellular reactions were not kicking in, thus antibodies were all we heard off. Sustained antibody creation is BAD!!! Later on some effects of immune response to sustained inflammation started rising.

      The answer, suspend the total public release and limit to high risk only for further release and long term assessment. Do not inject children. Stop the control mandates, make it voluntary.

      IMHO, when this goes around, the big Pharma, especially the R&D parts, are going to get a humongous black eye. Not much else as the Deep State will protect them totally.

      The real losers are us, a sparkling new technology that promised cures for cancer and other cures has been destroyed by marketing and really bad politics.

      Where to go from here? Stop it? Control it and continue development?

      In the meantime, publish the truth and allow folks to make their own decision. Use the conservative media channels to tear down the lies of the Leftist shills.

    Boy George sings about Time and Homosexuality:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLhToMS8YHk

    “ In January 2021, Syracuse, New York attorney Ralph Lorigo filed for an injunction on behalf of a critically ill hospital patient—the mother of one of his clients— against a local hospital that was resisting family requests to treat her with ivermectin. A State Superior Court judge immediately granted Lorigo’s request. Within 12 hours of taking ivermectin, the dying woman miraculously began to recover. Two weeks later, Lorigo obtained a second injunction for a similarly situated client, who also made a preternatural recovery. When local news organizations reported Lorigo’s IVM victories, his law office telephone began ringing off the hook. Within a few weeks, he was working twenty-hour days struggling to keep up with a new cottage industry filing injunctions in New York and Ohio courts to help dying patients get access to ivermectin. To date, Lorigo has been in thirty courts. “The people who I’ve been able to get the ivermectin to on time have all lived; the others have died.” He has obtained dozens of injunctions for patients, precipitating a host of sudden recoveries. “The hospitals are so arrogant. They are letting the people die. They get $37,000 to put them on the vent, and they just let them die.”

    ” ….a massive installment will probably be posted this , Thursday evening. ”

    It happens every time ;

    No sooner do I promise a person a date , than the valley I live in gets snowed in , the car breaks down , we have one of those five second power flickers that we have at least once a day here , that knocks out the electric alarm clock , and nobody makes a practical mechanical wind – up alarm clock anymore .

    Somebody winds up in hospital , or the sky falls.

    Thank God , perhaps , that I put in the qualifier , ” PROBABLY “.

    ” Kesa,
    I’m hoping to be entertained…lots of car chases, East German spies, explosions…gratuitous sex…. ”

    Car chases ? Sounds like a police drama. I hate police dramas. And not primarily because I hate police.

    As I have said before , perhaps the one person I most hate from the past 200 years is Edgar Allen Poe .

    What dastardly crime did he commit ? Apparently with his , ” Murders in the Rue Morgue ” he invented the murder mystery.

    In my opinion murder mysteries and police dramas contribute greatly to this pseudo – religion that says if we can measure something or define something , we can control it or fix it.

    Harmless fun would be police dramas and murder mysteries if people only took them as fun , a show , entertainment.

    But they take the Punch and Judy Show seriously.

    Still fun , I suppose , if that’s what you like.

    I despise it.

    Interestingly in , ” Murders in the Rue Morgue ” they catch the killer — but the killer turns out to be an arguably mistreated wild animal merely following its own aimless whims.

    So there is no murder , only a kind of accident about which there is nothing to be done.

    Which , I’m guessing , is rather in character for Poe .

    As I understand it , Poe never made his fortune in life , he died broke and vexed , as he had largely lived his life broke and vexed.

    He never had a clue that he was going to be famous , and what good did it do him ? Fame was posthumous.

    In my story , that is one bitch of a problem ;

    There are no police . The army is strictly theater. There are no laws , no murders. No dilemmas for our hero to resolve and win the day.
    No justice.

    Well , there is a dilemma , but it defies resolution ;

    ” How do you relate to someone that you cannot relate to ? “.

    ” East German spies” .

    Well , there is a thinly – veiled hidden motive ; You could say that the entire thing is my vision of an idealized East Germany.

    An East Germany of the heart , of wishes , desires , and dreams.

    Alas , like Anne Frank ( or her ghost writer ) said ,

    ” …. if only there were no people in the world. ”

    ” Explosions ”

    Maybe if I get around to describing a day or two of a holiday , and how Cassie spent that holiday

    Their ” holidays ” involve artillery barrages and gas attacks and , oops , a girl gets blown to pieces.

    ” gratuitous sex ”

    Grrr , creatures that at least superficially look like 12 year old girls , and a real human girl , who in the story is often 12 years old or younger.

    So I reckon that subject is already plenty problematical.

    Indeed , I reckon that even though I have myself forbore the gratuitous sex , it would never be published , if I were the greatest writer ever , without it being edited with a pair of scissors.

    And as a Disney Movie ? Barf ! Only if it were edited beyond recognition.

    My biggest concern you didn’t mention ;

    People keep referring to it as a novel.

    As I said , it is more like a fictional book of sociology or archeology or anthropology.

    Great fun !?

    Well , the supposed smart – set always say ;

    ” Do what you love ! ” 😛

    Now : Lots of scrolling to be done , unless JHK finally gives me the ban hammer.

    A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF CASSIE

    Well …..origins and earliest memories of Cassie.

    First , two notes ; The fancy Latin scientific name for our subjects , other than Cassie herself , is Apis Fomera – ” Smoking Bees”.

    But that’s a bit clunky for common everyday use.

    They refer to themselves commonly , simply , as , “Madel ” or ” Madschen ” which would be ” girl ” or ” girls ” in English.

    That might be confusing ?

    But it suits me.

    So you’re fucked.

    Second note ; previously I have shyed away from using surnames. Some names are made up out of whole Cloth , like that of the star of the show .

    But others are real names , but borrowed of course , and I’m loathe to subsistute made – up names.

    It’s always obscure people though.

    Like Cassie’s ever – present companion and keeper , Lisa Solomon ;

    That’s actually the real name of a minor actress , only two movies ( ? ) , and in minor , secondary roles in those two movies. My guess is 999 out of a thousand movie fans still wouldn’t recognize the name. And , who knows , maybe that real life Lisa Solomon would appreciate any reference , even in my weird book ?

    Others , though , might not be so appreciative of my memorials?

    Well , I could always deny that shit. Pure coincidence that I once knew someone by that very name 30 years ago. 😀

    Without surnames , keeping track of characters can very quickly get to be a problem , which Cassie supposes is why Apis Fomera gives girls surnames , even though they are essentially meaningless.

    As near as Cassie can make out , most humans were not familiar with their geneology past four generations , and by the 21st Century , geneology as a basis for status had largely died out ( supposedly ) . So likewise in the case of humans , too , it was merely a matter of keeping strait which character you are refering to.

    And , finally , we will begin with that — in this case made – up — name ;

    Cassie Melody Lisa Bourque .

    ( Like humans , they sometimes throw in middle names for good measure. )

    ( And ” Bourque ” is pronounced like , ” Turk “. )

    Cassie is originally from Kurdistan , or Afghanistan.

    In Apis Fomera usage , Kurdistan and Afghanistan are interchangeable terms for the same area , and describe a general area that stretches from Anatolia to old Afghanistan proper.

    In addition to her nick – name of ” Brownie ” , Cassie is also commonly referred to as ” the Kurd ” , or , ” The Kurdish “.

    Where precisely in that area she was picked up , she doesn’t know.

    Kurdistan is one of those places where humans are still found , living as Stone Age hunter – gatherers , and somewhat loosely managed at arms – length by the Smoking Bees like an endangered species.

    But not a beloved endangered species apparently.

    In the Standarte where Cassie wound up , in common with many Standarte Cassie has seen , they have a little musuem , adjacent to the library , and in common with many such musuems , the centerpiece display is of an incident apparently from the tail – end of the Smoking Bees trouble with the humans ;

    A Brownie ( a girl less than 9 years old if you recall ) somehow wound up in the woods by herself and encountered some humans.

    The display is a life – size diorama of the aftermath ;

    The girls head is displayed on the end of a stick planted in the ground , and over here a little arm , over there a little leg , and what remains of a badly mutilated torso.

    Right next to this display is a large glass cabinet in which is displayed , propped upright , the very real semi – mummified corpses or skeletons of the five humans that presumably committed this atrocity.

    The library is a favorite haunt of Cassie’s , but she has to pass right by this display to get to the library. To pass by this display still unsettles her greatly , but one learns to endure and accept what one must.

    Something like eyes incredibly still persist in one of these semi – mummified corpses , and the ” eyes ” seem to follow Cassie around the room from behind a fiendishly grimacing mask of a face.

    Countless is the number of times Cassie has seen the like ; Mummified or skeletal parts of humans displayed as grizzly trophies .

    For example , there is a Standarte down on the French Broad River where many girls are housed in barracks built atop a bridge spanning the river . ( Like the famous London Bridge of the Middle Ages up to the 18th century ) And at both entrances to this bridge are many spikes atop which are impalled the heads of about 80 or so humans.

    They are pretty old now , though , and have been mummified or shellacked to preserve them . So you might think they were fake , paper – mache decorations or some such , but , no , they are real.

    Humans are habitually referred to as monsters or demons.

    Indeed , almost always when the word monster or demon is used , the reference is to humans.

    Cassie herself is occasionally referred to as a monster or a demon , but happily , so far , never in the most negative way.

    Not , so far , in a threatening way.

    Getting back to our biography —

  76. KesaAnna November 20, 2021 at 12:09 am #

    Cassie was picked up somewhere in Kurdistan and brought to live among the Smoking Bees when she was three years old.

    Why ?

    As referred to earlier — and here we get a discription of Cassie — though human , Cassie looks a lot like a Smoking Bee.

    In adulthood she still stands only four feet six inches tall. She has little or no waist , and is flat – chested.

    Like the majority of Smoking Bees she is left – handed.

    She has bright , orange – red hair , and very pale white skin , like the Dole , their religious leader.

    Her eyes , too , are large , round , and Brown. As their eyes commonly tend to be large.

    In another , albeit coincidence , like them , she chronically suffers from menorrhagia.

    Like so many of them , she is a voracious chain – smoker. ( Though whatever physiological reason they might have for a predilection to smoking , she supposes that in her case it’s more in the nature of a habit picked up from the culture around her , and the company she keeps ? )

    All together , she looks just like a typical girl , except for the four fingers of her hand being different lengths , unlike theirs , where all four fingers are the same length.

    ( Another difference in the hands ; Girls not uncommonly , say one in twenty ? , have six fingers each hand , instead of five. Less commonly , say one in a hundred , have four fingers total on each hand. )

    Cassie has noticed , though , that somehow girls always instantly recognize her as human , and not one of them , even if her hands are out of view.

    Apparently the fact that she looks so much like them strikes them as a delightful novelty , and some kind of weird joke that she never gets the point of.

    The common reaction of a girl upon meeting Cassie for the first time is delighted laughter.

    Like they hop up and down on their toes , and clap their hands , or whirl around in a ballet pirouette , and laugh .

    That kind of delighted.

    ( Grrr , I can’t resist the detail ! Your typical Smoking Bee is as obsessively into Ballet as they are into smoking. So here’s a Ballet pirouette if you don’t know what that is ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLTM_KP0Dsg )

    Her first encounter with them , however , was not so positive.

    As I said , she was picked up in Kurdistan when she was three years old.

    What does anyone , a girl , or a human , remember from the age of three ?

    Well , presumably up to age three Cassie lived among humans.

    But she remembers none of it.

    She does remember , however , her first encounter with the Smoking Bees ,

    or , at least , her first encounter with them as far as she knows.

    She was sitting under what she later learned in books was an Olive Tree , on a largely barren hillside , in a landscape that was more tan than green.

    And standing in front of her , towering over her , were two girls ,

    dressed in full Sunday military parade Infantry Standarte kit.

    Tall mitre caps , long tresses hanging to their knees . Their faces painted white , their lips painted red or pink , pale blue eye shadow making their big eyes seem even bigger.

    White blouses and black jumpers , black and yellow miniskirts.

    Polished chocolate brown Sam Browne belts with short swords , canteens , map cases , gas mask canisters and such hanging from the harness and making them clink and jingle as they moved.

    And finally glistening , liquid black jack boots.

    Though she was three years old , she remembers the entire scene as if it were five minutes ago.

    She even recalls that one girl smelled like vanilla , and the other girl smelled of Lavender.

    She remembers thinking to herself that these were the most beautiful creatures she had ever seen , and surely they must be the most beautiful creatures in the whole world.

    No sooner than she had thought that , though , than they commenced hitting her and kicking her.

    She was terrified ; certainly if they continued they would soon kill her.

    But more than that was the pain of a broken heart.

    She remembers thinking ;

    ” I LOVE YOU ! WHY ARE YOU BEATING ME ?! ”

    Fortunately the beating and kicking didn’t last long , though while it happened it had seemed like a week of it.

    They stopped , and the girl who smelled like vanilla grabbed Cassie by the wrist , and off the three of them went at a brisk pace.

    But , being three years old , Cassie couldn’t keep up , so she stumbled and fell.

    So then the girl just dragged her along the ground by the wrist.

    ( As I said , they have little or no concept of personal space , so they commonly enough grab each other by the wrist or hand and pull each other along.

    They don’t drag each other or their little ones through the dirt , though.

    And after this incident it never happened to Cassie again. The girl who grabs Cassie will slow down so Cassie can keep up , or , if of a mind to do so , and strong enough to do so , even in adulthood Cassie has been picked up and carried. Lisa Solomon will often carry Cassie on her back. )

    It seemed to Cassie that she was dragged along the ground all the way to North America.

    But it couldn’t have been far , or else doubtless the dragging would have killed her.

    They came to a group of fifty or a hundred girls dressed like the first two , in mitre caps and black and yellow jumpers and skirts ,

    and in the midst of them , a group of five or six girls in lace dresses , hovering around a girl in that pink and white uniform Cassie would come to know meant Ouslafah.

    From the two most beautiful creatures Cassie had ever seen in her life presumably , to , in a brief moment , now in the midst of a hundred of these beautiful creatures.

    But , again , it was terrifying , and not just from the tactile overload of being dropped perfunctorily in the midst of so many heavenly creatures.

    The girl in the pink and white uniform with her entourage of girls in lace dresses was standing in frount of a tank , and a tank that for some reason kept gunning its engine repeatedly.

    Cassie had never seen a tank before , didn’t know what it was. She thought it was some terrible beast , like a dragon , though she was too young to know either the word , or the concept of “dragon”.

    But here she was set down before a dragon , and this dragon bellowing horribly.

    Cassie thought the dragon would roll over her and crush her into pulp , and then eat her.

    So she rolled up into as tight a ball as she could on the ground , and trying to cover her head.

  77. KesaAnna November 20, 2021 at 12:11 am #

    In her mind Cassie thought with superstitious hysteria that in such a pose maybe the dragon wouldn’t bother her.

    With this dragon screeching and bellowing at her , and rumbling menacingly , through it all Cassie never the less kept an eye fixed throughout on the girl in the pink and white uniform.

    Cassie could intuit that she had been dropped , not so much at the foot of this dragon , but at the foot of this girl in the pink and white uniform .

    And she intuited that in the mist of these heavenly but intimidating creatures , this one was a special focus of the rest , something like the leader .

    Then too there was something about the behavior of the girl.

    The girl stood there at ease , with something of a languid air , but looking at Cassie.

    — And looking , and looking , and looking at Cassie.

    As if the girl were only looking at the sky , but with a seeming contradictory marked intensity.

    This went on for quiet a while.

    The girl would talk to other girls , or they to her , at one point she was handed a map case , paper , and a fountain pen , and wrote out a note of some sort, but at least one eye never left Cassie.

    Finally someone killed the motor on the tank , though that was terrifying in itself . When the power was cut , the tank heaved a deep , woshing , dragon – like sigh and shuddered before going abruptly still.

    Right after that the girl in the pink and white called for a field radio.

    At this point Cassie didn’t know a word of German , but you could guess as much.

    A girl not much bigger than Cassie with black hair and olive skin and a cigarette dangling from her lips came dancing over ( among them you are as likely to see Ballet far from the barre , as at the barre. ) with a big black metal box on her back and a long black antenna sticking up from it.

    The girl in the pink and white uniform picked up the reciever on the black box and talked into it , with someone sqawking back from the box , for awhile.

    Then she hung up , and called for some food.

    As I said previously , Ouslafah girls typically are very cold and stand-offish with Cassie , but this was the one exception.

    The girl came over to Cassie , squated down , smiled gently at Cassie ,

    and laid a tomatoe , a hunk of cheese , a hunk of bread , and a mug of beer on the ground in front of Cassie , and motioned for Cassie to eat.

    After all this excitement Cassie was very hungry and gobbled it all down .

    The mug of beer , a rather large mug , tasted like smokey bacon , and seemed filling for liquid , so Cassie drunk it down in two long swallows.

    She was still hungry and thirsty , so the girl had fetched more cheese and bread , and a second mug of beer.

    Cassie still had one eye on the dragon , but as you might imagine , the effect of a large mug of beer on a three year old , in a moment Cassie was quite drunk ,

    at least provisionally relieved , and plain happy.

    These were , despite the terrifying aspects , beautiful creatures , and now smiling at her and feeding her.

    At one point the girl with the field radio on her back , and who smelled of Patchouli , lit a cigarette off the cigarette in her mouth , and , smiling ingratiatingly , offered it to Cassie.

    Cassie took the cigrette , and the girl giggled with apparent approval and nodded her head vigourously at Cassie.

    At three years old Cassie couldn’t fathom smoking , less was she into it , so she just sat there with the smoldering cigarette that soon went out , stuck in her little fist.
    But , afraid to offend , did not discard it.

    It was certainly just as well .

    As said , Cassie was already drunk . Cigarettes among the Smoking Bees are typically chocolate , mint , lemon , or strawberry – flavored — and often as not laced with Marijuana.

    Without Marijuana – laced cigarettes , the face of the girl in the pink and white uniform was now radiantly and softly swimming before Cassie anyway.

    Shimmering , and even more beautiful somehow .

    Cassie reached out to touch her face , but the girl slapped her hand away , though softly and gently , and still smiling at Cassie.

    Cassie began to sink into a drunken stupor , and before she went to sleep she found this girl in the pink and white uniform caressing her hair and rubbing her back.

    As I said , the only time Cassie has ever been treated so affectionately by a girl from the Ouslafah.

    Sometime later Cassie woke up briefly. It was dark , and she was laying on a pallet laid out atop the tank , but now the tank didn’t scare her. Some girl she didn’t see patted her head and spoke softly to her , and she fell asleep again.

    That was all for that memory.

    The rest is a fog.

  78. KesaAnna November 20, 2021 at 12:13 am #

    Cassie’s second memory from that dim period is again terrifying , except while it lacks in specific details , the terror goes on for … weeks ?

    It seemed like a whole life time to a three year old girl.

    But in this case the terror has little or nothing to do with girls.

    If anything , girls were the succor amidst the terror.

    For some reason , Cassie didn’t remain in Kurdistan. For some reason , she was put on a boat and shipped to a Standarte in North America , in the Mountains of Tennessee.

    Though rare , Cassie isn’t the only human the Smoking Bees sometimes bring to live among them. What is apparent is that they wind up in far – flung places , but why they wind up in those places , Cassie doesn’t know.

    One thing Cassie does — sort of — know is that once upon a time the Standarte she is a part of played a prominent part in the Seige of Saint Louis , a horrific and titanic battle that went on for three years ( ? ) where many thousands of girls and humans were killed.

    She somehow constitutes some kind of reward or mark of distinction commemorating that long ago battle.

    But that maybe isn’t to know much , or anything.

    It seems every Standarte has some epic tale , a claim to fame , concerning the time of troubles with the humans . Surely Kurdistan has such Standarte , after all , they still presumably encounter the humans in the flesh , and those humans not in the uniform of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation either.

    Why ship her to a Standarte in Tennessee thousands of miles away ?

    Perhaps because a human in Tennessee , is like an elephant in Tennessee ?

    In any case , to Tennessee she was sent , across the Atlantic ocean, in a very small boat.

    A boat just like this ;

    https://web.archive.org/web/20070119155951/http://www.museumindocklands.org.uk/English/EventsExhibitions/Special/the_discovery.htm

    ( As I understand it , this was a very common ship type plying the Atlantic in the 16th until the 19th Century. And there is one on permanent display in Jamestown, Virginia. Never the less , finding a picture of precisely this boat on the internet was a real pain !! )

    Quite possibly the most common ship type in service in the Imperial Navy.

    But that was scant comfort to Cassie.

    Here’s a boat she might trust on a lake , river , or in a harbor ,

    but she was in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on this tiny boat !

    And it was winter when they crossed , or very bad weather regardless.

    The sky , which was gigantic , was a menacing black and blue the whole way , except when it was raining buckets , and then the sky was a void – like black , and the wind howled like a thousand giant wolves.

    The ocean , which was also gigantic , was an endless sea of waves , ALL of which seemed ten times bigger than the ship !

    So Cassie spent the entire voyage , as far as she could recall , curled up in a tight ball with her hands over her head , like with the tank previously , and her eyes squeezed shut , in a corner , on the deck !

    You would think the deck would be a very frightening place in such an enviroment , and it was , but down in the hold the ship was carrying a cargo of denaturned alcohol , that made your eyes water and your throat burn intolerably.

    Plus , Cassie was afraid a cask might break free in the hold and crush her.

    So curled up in a ball in a corner on the deck was where she stayed.

    As I said , if anything , girls were the succor in this nightmare.

    Specifically one girl.

    There were only four , or maybe six , crew on this ship. The recollection is foggy , and she can’t remember any faces , except for this one girl.

    The ship was called , ” Budgie ” , and this girl , likewise , was Called Budgie.

    Budgie Breton Bouchere .

    Somehow Cassie remembered all of that.

    Like many Navy girls she didn’t wear her hair long , but cut off at the shoulder , and curled in on the bangs and at the ends , so it seemed like she had a bowl on her head.

    Her hair was a nice soft , chocolate brown though.

    She had big , expressive eyebrows , and a pointy , but slightly upturned , nose.

    She seemed to be permanently grinning , and was always laughing.

    Like , all day .

    Like her talk would go like this ;

    ” Ha ha ! Brownie , don’t worry ! Ha Ha ! You Demon Kurd ! Ha Ha Ha ! You won’t go in the drink today ! Ha Ha ! You are not for the Black Rabbit yet ! Ha Ha ! Budgie and Budgie have the little monster in hand ! Ha ha Ha ! You will be a good and proper Brownie soon enough ! Ha Ha Ha ! ”

    Somehow Cassie was given to understand that Budgie was 50 or 60 years old . Guessing age can be tricky with girls.

    Budgie had ugly blue blotches on her legs , and deep crows feet around her eyes , but otherwise her skin was very soft and smooth on her face and legs.

    Budgie might slip on some canvas trousers under her skirt , and might tie a water-proof sheet on her head over her hat ,

    but even in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean , in a gale , Budgie still always wore a white pleated Navy miniskirt , and a sailors pie plate cap , as if she were in harbor on Sunday parade.

    When she wasn’t working , Budgie always seemed to be sitting next to Cassie on the deck , reassuring her between laughs.

    As I said , Cassie’s habitual pose on this voyage was curled up in a tight ball with her arms and hands covering her head , and her eyes squeezed shut.

    As a child , Cassie had this superstitious notion that if death thought you were asleep , it would leave you alone.

    Budgie somehow percieved this , so she told Cassie between laughs about two different versions of death , a land version , and a sea version.

    The Sea version was the Sirens. The Sirens were bueatiful Nymphs and profoundly horny. That kept them highly motivated to carry off girls to drown in the Sea of Love.

    ” Hear that sound ? ” Budgie asked at one point. As I said , the wind was howling pretty much the whole voyage.

    ” That’s the Sirens singing , little Kurd ! ”

    “Calling for you and me Brownie ! ”

    That scared the shit out of Cassie , of course. As if being any more frightened was somehow possible under such circumstances.

    But it was also somehow comforting too , seductive , finally become flatly erotic once Cassie reached an age to identify erotic.

    To this day Cassie never hears the sound of the wind without thinking of the Sirens.

    Budgie said a bit more about the Sirens , but it’s all fantastically obscene.

    The land version of death is the Black Rabbit of Inle.

    Budgie didn’t have much to say about him , except that she seemed to invoke him * in conversation more than the Sirens.

    ( Yes , among a species consisting entirely of females , a personage as important as death is a HE. God is also a HE. But that’s another essay. )

    Cassie couldn’t have said which struck her as more frightening ; a black rabbit with the power to hang out in the middle of the ocean, or girls who can walk on water and want to rape you when you are dead.

    Anyway , later Cassie would learn a lot more about the Black Rabbit.

    Curiously , the Black Rabbit seems to originate from a story written by a human long ago , the story entitled , ” Watership Down “.

    Likewise , the names , “Ouslau ” and “Ouslaufah ” come from this Watership Down story.

    The Black Rabbit of Inle is of course commonly depicted as a black rabbit.

    But , also , curiously , girls commonly depict the Black Rabbit as a humanoid skeleton , but with rabbit ears.

    After Budgie , Cassie of course thought of the Sirens and the Black Rabbit when she squeezed her eyes shut and pretended to sleep to ward off death.

    ( I can’t resist here a homage to Budgie and the Black Rabbit ;

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WANNqr-vcx0

    I dunno , Grace Slick struck me as very unsettling. )

    Budgie didn’t tell Cassie these stories to frighten her , though.

    To drown in the Sea of Love , or to go off with the Black Rabbit , presumably you are given to understand , is a very good and pleasant thing .

    No , she told Cassie these stories to take her mind off her frightening situation !

    One thing Cassie remembers Budgie telling her , several times , was ;

    “Someday you will be a girl , not a Demon , Brownie ! Ha Ha ! But first you have to be a Brownie ! Ha Ha Ha ! And Budgie and Budgie will see to it that Brownie doesn’t go off with the Black Rabbit or the Sirens , but makes landfall to put on that dry Brown uniform ! Ha Ha ! Put on dry panties , you Kurdish Demon ! Ha Ha Ha! ”

    Cassie supposed Budgie went on to tell her something about Brownies , but can’t remember.

    Budgie talked to her about many things , but this is all she can remember.

    She doesn’t remember when she took leave of Budgie Breton Bouchere , and the ship also named Budgie.

    And she doesn’t recall where they made landfall in North America.

    All she remembers of that is her little ship being tied up on the dock in the Shadow of a ship she would later learn was the SMS Melody Carolana . Basically a faithful copy of this ship — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_Rheinland

    And she does not remember the trip overland to Tennessee.

    Her last memory from that period is brief.

    She remembers , in trying to please her new friends and benefactors , trying to goose – step out to be presented to the Standarte on her first Sunday parade , but since she was three years old , she flubbed it badly. The best she could do was a stumbling waddle.

    They seemed pleased by it anyway.

    She remembers being stripped naked in frount of the whole Standarte , and Lisa Solomon , her first memory of Lisa , doing a somewhat better goose – step forward , and dressing her up in the Brownie uniform , the Brownie uniform that Budgie had so emphasized that she was carrying her to on the long voyage over.

    Normally in this ceremony girls are just dressed up in the uniform , the Sunday parade otherwise proceeds as usual.

    But on this occasion when Sunday parade ended that evening , Cassie was abruptly mobbed by the thousand girls of her Standarte.

    If not for the positive aspect , it would have seemed like a lynching , or a gang rape, though it seemed that way too in passing impressions.

    Hug after hug. By the end of it she felt almost like she had been beaten.

    Kiss after kiss. By the time it was over , Cassie’s face , her mouthe , and the inside of her mouthe , was sodden with Saliva.

    And , again and again , from girl after girl ; ” WELCOME TO THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE OF THE GERMAN NATION !! ” ”

    And while at least 500 different girls said it , curiously they used the singular , and near – sang it in a sing – song voice , ” YOU BELONG TO ME !! ”

    ( Ameri — yeah , ripped that off from the Carly Simon song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukkRG-flg20 )

    Despite the bruising and the sodden mess , Cassie was so happy that she felt her heart would burst.

    And that’s it for the memories of a three year old Cassie.

        Maybe James could publush this if you want him to?…

        Struck first by the sandman whispering through that scary wabbit and the siren song, but death does that to me being a scaredy cat.
        Black cat note. 4 cats in this life. Growing up Scrag the bum. A feral kitten I picked up out of about 15 on the way home from school. No tail, a bloody festering mess after one of his many weekend jaunts.
        Spaz & Paris, sisters, Paris being a sleek hunter of many things. Once I came home from work and the salmon I left defrosting was gone, but a slime trail ended under the bed. Not a scale, not a bone left. 2 smallish cats, 1 10 pound salmon. Spazmo, my love fell on her head from 3 stories and lived to tell the tale, but much damage accrued. Often, coming home from work she would be hanging on an old quilt up on the wall, or from the blinds, or caught up in laundry.
        And the lately departed ebony, who came with that name, from the pound, and would listen to no other. Ferocious beasty that 1. Scared the sht outta both my bros and many dogs. In fact, leapt on the bed at 3am once to route a dog in there with me. That real dog ran 8 miles home to my brothers and would not come back.

        Sorry, digressions. I don’t know where it comes from Kess, but keep your ear open to that shell singing your world into being.
        Ships, oceans of lust and pain, scary older girlz, smoking and drinking and war and satiation, fk, do I know you???

      novels are Out

      dream sociology is In

      beaut…… we have now been clued-in as to the relation of the girls (bees, victorious germans) to the humans

        very possibly disprovable theory: the more outlandish the circumstances confronting a fictional character, the more you’re induced to identify and care

      How do little Mariah and Uncle Hitler fit into this?

      It’s awesome Kesa thank you for sharing it with us! Based on your earlier installments I would have never dreamed that Cassie would be from Kurdistan. That was a twist. The Smoking Bees are global it seems and humans are an endangered species. Very interesting and a strange scenario yet you explain it so well!

    Tucker: All day long the mainstream media was raving about the murder of unarmed Black man, Jacob Blake in Kenosha.

    Jacob Blake is alive. He admitted he was armed with a knife. It’s just a vehicle of incitement now, with zero regard for the truth.

    Glenn Greenwald was on with Tucker. He said the both the media in Brazil and Britain think that Rittenhouse killed and injured Blacks. Why else would our media keep raving about racism in a case that didn’t involve Blacks.

    Again, the utter childishness of Blacks. Can’t just sit this one out. Always have to be the center of attention. Manipulating them is child’s play.

    And of course everything is race now – so the woke embrace this pov no matter what their color. And since Blacks are the holy ones, why wouldn’t they accept this Crown being offered them?

      no exaggeration, straight facts

      but black “childishness” in this culture is a willing stance (or at least a “developed behavior”, for the lesser among them) in a context, not a hard-wired trait

      • Jarek November 20, 2021 at 10:22 am #

        And when certain drugs don’t work on Blacks or work on Blacks but not Whites, is this cultural too?

        And the European wildcat looks like a slightly larger version of Felix Domesticus, but it is implacably savage. You see, the brain and hormone levels are different.

        Holy Smoking Bees, Batman, you mean Darwin’s Theory is true? And that rather than being a ghost in the machine, the brain is part of all that?

          yes, fair. choices and reactions to environments do become hardwired over time. but parsing the extent, and the exact nature of the hardwiredness in the context of every other trait of the subject is a highly complex task that frankly, your average racial supremicist hopelessly oversimplifies.

          because also hardwired, at a much deeper level than some of these more surface qualities, is the ability of the human, or cat, to constantly adapt to changing environments. So, what is a permanent evolved quality, and what is a temporary one? What is determined and what is changeable?

          And what if…the adopted “childish” pose of blacks in america, while becoming “hardwired” over generations culturally and even chemically… what if this quality actually promotes an adaptive flexibility that is a strength in a long emergency situation? And what if more rigid cultural/genetic adaptive stances of whites render them less adaptive to a violently shifting landscape?

          what if IQ is a measure of not only a strength but a hidden weakness, a hidden rigidity?

          the brain is part of everything, but beware oversimplifications.

          in a changing environment, black americans might sprout strengths seemingly out of nowhere…but its not out of nowhere, it would be out of a genetic adaptive quality less easy to pinpoint if ine made the mistake of “over-geneticifying” an analysis of contemporary behaviors in a different context. or just exaggerating the importance of a certain set of behaviors which were more context-dependent than they seemed
