What were the execs of these mighty companies thinking — these knights of the boardroom, these capitalist geniuses, these moral nonpareils — when they cancelled Atlanta’s turn to host the midsummer All-star Game to “protest” Georgia’s passage of a law that requires voter ID? Surely that they were striking a righteous blow against systemic racism. And then, the rest of the world realized — almost immediately — that Major League Baseball requires online ticket buyers to show ID when they pick up their tickets at any stadium… and that Delta Airlines requires passengers to show ID (duh) before being allowed to fly in one of their airplanes… and that various other corporations snookered into this latest hustle such as Nike, Coca-Cola, and Calvin Klein support forced labor in the Asian nations that manufacture their products.

They’re Woke, you see. The tentacles of Wokery have reached into every last compartment of American life now, more effectively even than the Covid-19 corona virus. Wokeness emerged on the scene in 2014 when the feckless teenager Michael Brown was shot to death by police officer Darren Wilson upon arrest in Ferguson, Missouri, an event that kicked off the Black Lives Matter movement. The moral panic BLM ignited proved to be a spectacularly effective device for repelling the truth of the situation, and many more like it, which was that Michael Brown resisted arrest, fought with, and menaced officer Wilson before getting shot.

The Woke moral panic that proceeded from this effectively suppressed two truths about police relations with Black America: 1) that Blacks committed crimes against life and property at a disproportionately high rate to their percentage in the US population, and 2) that the number of unarmed black people killed by police was statistically minuscule, and in most cases involved people resisting arrest or fighting with police. As the 2016 election approached, the Democratic Party realized it was in its interest to cultivate the Woke moral panic so as to marshal the Black voting bloc so crucial to victory at the polls.

With the help of their allies in the news media and the coddled faculty ideologues on campus, the Democrats fed this moral panic until it grew into an historic mass hysteria every bit as insane as the witchcraft hysterias of the Middle Ages in Europe. Then Mr. Trump came along, inflicting a savage trauma on the Left, and after his election, the news media and the campus crusaders were joined by very potently placed officers in the federal bureaucracy — especially the Intel Community, with its weapons for disordering public opinion, and the Department of Justice, with its ability to ruin lives and reputations — to crush Mr. Trump and everyone who opposed the Left’s will-to-power.

They kept it up for four years, using every device in the bureaucracy to drive Mr. Trump from office while deliberately gaslighting, hoaxing, misdirecting, and bamboozling the public. In the process, the Democratic Party became hostage to the worst elements among its supporters and foot-soldiers: the race hustlers, the gender-deranged, the criminal sociopaths, the limousine Marxists, the Wall Street swindlers, the Silicon Valley megalomaniacs, and even America’s foreign adversaries — as evidenced by the Biden Family’s lucrative dealings with the party that runs China.

In 2020, China gave the Democrats their greatest gift, Covid-19, a means to wreck the US economy and an excuse to pare away Americans’ constitutional rights to various freedoms of speech, published expression, movement, association, self-defense, and economic liberty. Finally, in managing to elect the inert and incompetent Joe Biden via ballot fraud the party went a scam too far.

All social hysterias run their courses. They run out of new gags, and out of new recruits. Their tropes grow tiresome, even comical, such as the Woke mainstays of “racism,” “misogyny,” and “white supremacy.” Their promptings reveal themselves as obviously dishonest. The punishments they seek seem increasingly warped and sadistic. The behavior they induce begins to look patently insane. That’s where America stands now.

To keep the flywheel of hysteria spinning during the Covid year of 2020, the Dems turned the death of George Floyd into a new-and-improved second coming of Michael Brown in order to juice BLM for the fall election. This time there were video cameras galore on the scene to capture what turned out to be an ambiguously deceptive storyline. Half the world flipped out at the sight of Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd’s neck at that Minneapolis intersection. It sure didn’t look good. Now that former officer Chauvin is on trial for Murder 2 and 3 plus manslaughter, the prosecution spent a week demonstrating indeed how bad that looked, with one witness after another who described how bad it made them feel to watch George Floyd die. Of course, watching anything die can be horrifying. It was, in essence, a wholly sentimental case for the prosecution.

The defense is ready to present facts that tell a different story: of a multiple violent felon and drug abuser hopped up on dangerous levels of narcotics and stimulants, with an impressively dire array of medical problems including Covid-19, who refused to follow police instructions, and in a manner that appeared deranged, leading to his being subdued by an approved police procedure to prevent harm to himself and others. The Minneapolis city council already queered the trial before it started by granting a $27-million settlement to the Floyd family, officially imputing guilt on Mr. Chauvin’s side. BLM has made it clear that they will not accept an acquittal.

Even a conviction is liable to inspire riots as the victory dance revs into the warm spring nighttime. Judging by last year’s BLM uprisings in city after city, the precedent has been established that mob violence is justified and holds no consequences. Something tells me that this particular error in political thinking will not be indulged this time around. The Woke hysteria and the hustles that grow out of it have shot their wad. Something else has awakened in this land: a recognition that we are in serious trouble, that our adversaries are having their way with us as we act stupidly, that we have become our own worst enemies, that being insane is not a virtue.

        Excellent point, Mary. It makes me wonder. What if in the name of safety for all, they only allowed people with Covid vaccination papers into the polling places. I’ll bet the Democrats would embrace that idea.

        Even those with mail-in ballots would have to present proof of vaccination, since those nasty covid bugs can live on paper for who knows how long. LOL

          You are correct, hmuller. TPTB will not allow us vax Refuseniks to do anything including vote. We will be lepers.

            Just give it 3-5 months and the antibodies, generated via mRNA, to corona spikes (which are literally everywhere in the body due to the ubiquity of the common cold, also a corona virus with corona spikes) start chopping away at tissue containing the corona remnants (e.g. lungs, liver, kidney, brain, vascular, you get the picture). So sad, so stupid. So fascist.

            Idiocracy always has its day.

          • hmuller April 5, 2021 at 11:23 am #

            And I’ll bet you, Neurodoc, they’ll blame that on the unvaccinated. The authorities have a talent for blaming the innocent for their crimes.

            Whistleblower Mike Yeadon, former chief science officer and Pfizer vice-president, said that the vaccine was part of a depopulation scheme. Look that up on google and you’ll get pages of articles “debunking” and attacking Mr Yeadon.

            A sign of the times.

          • MaryV April 5, 2021 at 11:56 am #

            @hmuller yes they are already laying the groundwork to blame the ‘unclean’ (unvaxxed) for the coming illness and deaths of the vaxxed.

            What a scheme. It’s a shame that the same tricks work on people over and over, ad nauseam.

          • feralandroid April 5, 2021 at 12:20 pm #

            neurodoc: are you talking about an autoimmune response in 3 months? Or something else? Curious how a medical professional thinks this will play out?

          • GreenAlba April 5, 2021 at 12:45 pm #

            The Pfizer phase 3 trials started at the end of July 2020, so I guess we could find out if the participants are now dead.

          • neurodoc April 5, 2021 at 12:48 pm #

            Response to feralandroid

            The mRNA procedures (not true vaccines per the FDA and NOT approved as vaccines) produce antibodies to all cells that exhibit or CONTAIN corona spikes. Multiple immunology experts, that have not yet been banned from msm, have demonstrated that
            1-most people have had corona infections via the common cold, and thus have corona spikes in most tissues (i.e. trash left over from NK cells and antibodies fighting those infections).
            2-when mRNA procedure induced antibodies, en mass, start developing and targeting those residual trash corona spikes the tissues in which the ‘spike trash’ resides will be attacked. Think it thru from there. This is all widely accepted pre march2020 science.
            Hope this helps.

          • neurodoc April 5, 2021 at 12:55 pm #

            Response to Greenalba

            The HUMAN safety studies were skipped via ‘warp speed’ BS; the human safety studies are going on NOW. That’s a major reason why the mRNA procedures are NOT FDA approved or cleared as vaccines. Your friends and relatives are participating in a massive human safety study without fully informed consent, hence the case of Israel health admin being brought before the World Court for Neurenburg violations.

            The typical sequence of vaccine study phases has been turned on its head via ‘warp speed’ thinking. Typically true vaccines take 3-6 or more years to produce a SAFE product. Recall that in the SARS vax studies all the vaccinated Rh monkeys died. Think about that (the mRNA procedures are spin off of the failed SARs ‘vax.’).

          • GreenAlba April 5, 2021 at 1:06 pm #

            A short search seems to suggest the trial participants are still fine as of early April 2021, six months (at least) post second dose.

            https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizer-and-biontech-confirm-high-efficacy-and-no-serious

            Of course Pfizer could be secretly hiding them comatose in a huge hangar, like in that film with Genevieve Bujold and Michael Douglas, the press release being dated 1 April an’ all.

          • GreenAlba April 5, 2021 at 1:08 pm #

            Thank you for your sarcasm, GA. It shows how open minded you truly are. Point being, no one knows how long it takes for all the side effects to manifest.

            And everyone is not OK. There have been plenty of “unintended side effects”. There always are with vaccines. But I wouldn’t expect you to take note of what the MSM does such a good job of covering up.

            hm

            Sarc aside, I read, some months ago I think, the comments of the chap who led the 2012 study using mice he says didn’t die at all. He also says the vaccine platform used for the Covid19 mRNA vaccines is completely different from the one used in the trials for SARS in any case.

            https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-mice-idUSKBN2A22UW

            I know some people can’t read anything called a Fact Check because it must have been paid for by Bill Gates or whatever, but the study lead says what he says. If you can find him saying somewhere else that Bill Gates was holding a gun to his head, I’m happy to read it.

            I have no skin in the game. I haven’t taken the Pfizer vax and neither have my family, as far as I’m aware. Apart from my husband. If he suffers any ill effects from it, I will let you know.

            First it was 3 months, then 6 months. The advantage of your argument is that you can always argue the worst is yet to come. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. I’ve made my own risk assessment and so has my husband. Your own is yours to make, as I keep repeating.

          • GreenAlba April 5, 2021 at 1:33 pm #

            Yes, thanks JohnAZ – I remembered it after I’d pressed ‘submit’!

            2nd response to Greenalba

            Thanks for The citation you provided, but it is a NEW RELEASE from Pfizer; I would like to see their DATA, RAW Data (which they will never release externally).

            FYI: Early in my 30+ yr medical career I worked, with my department colleagues, with several major Big Pharma Companies on neuro drug development. What I saw astounded me: requests and then demands to fake data, requests and then demands to alter data (to latter find out it was for reasons of covering up side effects, including diabetes induction), and constant lies massaged as advertising and ‘consumer education.’ This was the typical, not the rare or occasional mode. I have not taken grant money from any pharma for the last 20 years and never will again. I don’t even buy stock in pharma, despite having the knowledge to do so, as I don’t want to be reincarnated as an intestinal worm or worse. 🙂
            Believe them at your own risk. I have pharma stories that would blow your mind.

            ALso, I said 3-5 months; who knows, maybe a year or two for full effects to be seen. I don’t know for sure and neither do the big pharma guys. 3-5 months was an off the cuff guess. Also I don’t trust their data on adverse effects. Reread above.

          • neurodoc April 5, 2021 at 1:36 pm #

            I meant NEWS RELEASE

          • GreenAlba April 5, 2021 at 1:40 pm #

            “And everyone is not OK. There have been plenty of “unintended side effects”.

            I’m aware of that, HM. Seven people here have died of blood clots, out of 14 million vaccinated with the AZ vaccine.

            But if you add some zeros to that you’ll get the number who have died from blood clots from Covid.

            With the actual disease, people on here were fond of citing percentages. With the vaccines, not so much.

            But like I said, I remain watchful. I was before I was vaccinated and I continue to be so afterwards.

          • Yohannon April 5, 2021 at 1:41 pm #

            In other words, Alba is fine with humans being used as guinea pigs. She does have the courage of her convictions, offering herself up as well.

            Does that make it alright?

            No.

          • GreenAlba April 5, 2021 at 1:57 pm #

            neurodoc

            I pay attention to your posts more than to most of the non-medics on here when it comes to medical matters. That includes the one where someone asked you why the US had fared so badly with Covid compared to other countries and you said, among other things, that fewer Americans would distance or wear masks. Too many descendants of Scots, you said! I could find it but it would take me a while … We could always claim you were joking I suppose.

            Anyway, I digress. I am not a devotee of Big Pharma and have been wary of them since way back in the 70s when it was absolutely de rigueur for students to be so.

            But in individual cases, one has to make one’s own risk assessment, which is what I did.

          • GreenAlba April 5, 2021 at 2:02 pm #

            Yohannon

            I have not obliged anyone to volunteer for the clinical trials; nor have I ever suggested anything other than that people should make up their own minds and make their own decisions.

            Further, I have not only said I oppose indirect coercion but I have taken at least some small actions to oppose it, in my own country. I have even argued with members of my own family who mind it more than I do. I intend to voice my opinion further, to my political representatives.

            I am entitled to make my own decisions and assess my own risks, as are you.

          • GreenAlba April 5, 2021 at 2:03 pm #

            That should have been *mind it LESS than I do*.

          • SW April 5, 2021 at 3:27 pm #

            @neurodoc — I agree with what you said about the vaccine and know it’s actually impossible to know if it’s safe or not within this short time period.

            Even knowing this I took the shot b/c my daughter lives in England & it’s only a matter of time before they demand you’re vaccinated before they let you in. So the choice was take my chances and hope it’s just some form of normal saline or risk being unable to travel to see family.

          • hmuller April 5, 2021 at 4:25 pm #

            “First it was 3 months, then 6 months.” – GA

            What you say in mockery of the vaccine critics sounds oddly familiar.

            Oh yes, that’s what TPTB said about how long we would be in lock-up; how long in masks. But the time kept getting extended. Every promise ‘to get back to normal’ has been broken. But of course, they always have a good reason.

            Here’s a couple headlines:

            WHO warns it could take up to 5 years before the coronavirus pandemic is under control

            COVID-19 will be ‘with us for the next 10 years’, warns vaccine chief

            So, the authorities who love us so much and never lie are going to milk this as long as they can or as long as flu bugs prowl the earth..

            But the docile and gullible grow fewer as time passes. Maybe that’s why THEY are in such a hurry to pump us full of mystery juice.

            Thank you, Yohannon, and I acknowledge that you’re being fair.

            Whether it turns out to be a poor decision for others, including myself, we will just have to wait and see. In the meantime I’m looking forward to getting back to normal and helping my local businesses get back on their feet.

            “Oh yes, that’s what TPTB said about how long we would be in lock-up; how long in masks. But the time kept getting extended. Every promise ‘to get back to normal’ has been broken. But of course, they always have a good reason.”

            I don’t recall ever disagreeing with you about that. It doesn’t change my point. Whether the vaccines are ‘really very safe’ or not, you can keep extending your time frame, unto the next generations etc. etc., if you so wish. No pharaceutical product is ever 100% safe for 100% of persons, since every human is a unique organism. Risks and trade-offs are the order of the day. But I fully respect your right not to take any vaccine that you don’t want.

            I asked for no lockdowns, and, like most people, assumed the first two weeks was going to be it. Then that the first whole month was going to be it.

            Personally, I’d be happy for the whole mask thing to stop as soon as everyone over the age of, say, 40, has had the opportunity to be vaccinated. Not been vaccinated, just had the opportunity. I could be selfish and say it’s fine to get rid of them now, since I’m all right, Jack (almost).

            I continue to wear a mask for about five minutes every other day, in a shop. I’m sorry your experience has been more oppressive. And we don’t do doubles, as far as I can see, not that I pay that much attention.

            Yesterday I saw a letter in the Telegraph from someone claiming they’d been responsible and got the vaccination, and wanted to be able to go to sports venues, concerts and the like without having to be beside the unvaccinated (aka less responsible).

            I don’t get that lunacy any more than you do. I got vaccinated so that I can go wherever I choose, among the vaxxed and unvaxxed alike. I’ll even hug them, like a latterday People’s Princess with a leper or HIV sufferer. 🙂

          • MaryV April 6, 2021 at 11:16 am #

            @neurodoc, thanks for your input. I have other friends who work in the pharmaceutical industry that mirror what you are saying. One runs drug trials, and so she is aghast that they found a way to put an experimental drug out to test on the public.

            And speaking of that, today a facebook friend reports that, pressured by her husband and his family, she got the vaccination (am trying to find out which one). She woke up on Easter Sunday with Bell’s Palsy, which is mostly not permanent but can be. She is paralyzed on one side of her face.

            We truly need a high court for these war crimes. They are literally violating the Nuremburg principles by experimenting on the public – for profit.

            Early on in the mass hysteria, I recall seeing a photo of a guy on a beach with no one else around him, I think he was paddle-boating, and 3 officers came up – without masks – and arrested him.

            So, because of the ‘deadly pandemic’ a guy out in nature near no one else, was grabbed by 3 other people, and then put in a cell with countless others.

            But, they have our best interests at heart.

            What’s a fomite?

            I lived in Portland when they made a huge deal about banning plastic bags, though East Asian food stores still had their own. Then they quietly started brining in bags back. Anytime I asked people why, they seemed confused, as if it was a strange question. As if there was no other reality than the current mediated hysteria.

            Discarded masks are killing wildlife now. Hysteria or Truth?

            This place has three hundred people descend on it the instant it gets bigger then thigh high.
            Right now there are at least 100 people all packed together surfing there.

            @Yohannon, a fomite was the early form of covid spread. It came and went, just as most of the fake science that changes daily does.

            Fomites were spread by hand, and first they could climb into water pipes, then they could live on bags, and that’s why they stopped letting people bring their own bags to stores, and snuck the plastic back in. Absolute garbage ‘science’.

            Against such a shape-shifter enemy muzzling the entire Western world, conducting elections where the leaders don’t even have to pretend that the outcome isn’t manufactured, loosing 9 trillion $ in lost productivity and creating a permanent opioid-addicted under class is a small price to pay for opening the door to the Brave New World.

        Compared to the inertia and anomie that characterizes leadership on this side of the border, America is now a model of order and level-headed leadership. Case in point, while American leaders are moving heaven and earth to get vaccines into the arms of Americans in an orderly fashion Canadians are being subjected to another round of heavy handed lockdowns that even the medical community unanimously agrees is going to be marginally effective at slowing down the spread of the newer and deadlier Covid19 variants. Our ICU wards and emergency wards are filled to capacity with younger and healthier adults who have contacted the newer variants of coronavirus including the South African and Brazilian strains while mass vaccination sites in places like Toronto and Montreal are closing due to the lack of vaccines. The useful idiots that we call a national media keep trumpeting the federal government’s lies that enough quantities of vaccines will be arriving soon but we’re getting nothing but a trickle. A conversation I had with a fellow my age yesterday pretty much sums up our dilemma. “You know I’m so damned bitter I do everything I can not to think about it because this is the closest this country has come to Communism in my lifetime”, is what he said. I’m 54 years old and this fellow was a few years older.

        • Yohannon April 5, 2021 at 12:21 pm #

          A John Hopkins study showed that there has been no increase in deaths – they are just playing with categories, labelling the flu and pneumonia (the way many elderly die) as Covid.

          You are still in love with your chains if you want to become a vaccine (it’s not a vaccine) pincushion. The “vaccines” are already outdated according to official (lying) sources.

            If that’s true than why has the average age of people with the novel corona virus in Canadian ICU wards fallen from 80 to 53? Why are ER doctors unanimously telling the public that nothing less than a full-scale shutdown of the Canadian economy will prevent our health-care system from collapse? Do you know something they don’t? I talk to front-line workers at my place of employment every day and they are all telling me the same thing to a person: they are all burned out from the responsibilities of dealing with all the new corona virus cases and want everyone to know that the new corona virus variants are a lot more prevalent and deadlier than we think and to please follow the experts advice and limit human contact as much as possible.

          1- mRNA shots (as manufactured by Phizer & Maderna) are not vaccines) as measured by any definition of the word used before the Covid19 pandemic began.
          2- They have never been approved as vaccines except for experimental emergency use. That status was granted by suppression of existing alternative treatments using fraudulent studies and methodologies backed up by a massive propaganda campaign.
          3- All mRNA shots are illegal according to US law which requires testing and verification.
          4- Millions of Americans (and Canadians) have been seduced into acting as test subjects without their knowledge or consent. If the US were a country of laws they would join together to form the largest class action law suit in history.
          5- The USA refuses to recognize actual vaccines (like the Russian Sputnik V) as the basis for “fully vaccinated” individuals. Instead it uses the experimental gene modification mRNA shots as the only basis for returning some of the rights of citizenship in the form of “vaccine passports”.
          6- None of the millions of mRNA experimental test subjects are fully vaccinated.Nor will they ever be until they receive an actual vaccine.

          ‘while American leaders are moving heaven and earth to get vaccines into the arms of Americans–”

          Hortonz, please stop spreading disinformation by referring to gene modification shots as “vaccines” You should ask yourself why the Malignant Overlords south of the border are moving heaven and earth to inject as many as possible before the reality curtain falls and they are only left with passive Canadian musk oxen to jab.

        The problem with using masks and certificates to separate the sheep from the unwashed is that they are too easily bypassed.. One need only to don a mask and chant the approved mantras and nobody will be the wiser. And the market for fake passports is due to explode as the Cartels with billions of dollars in accumulated profits look for a new source of revenue.

        The solution is a permanent Woke branding system. I suggest a K burned into the forehead of all females who carry the mRNA genetic modification and an S for their compliant male counterparts. For the refuseniicks destined for the uranium mines and gas ovens a R on the forehead is appropriate.

            What an asinine deduction, Redneck.

            The point is that the federal government is currently ramming through legistlation to federalize election procedures, and cement things like mail-in ballots with ever-extending due dates and blurring voter ID requirements (picture ID, signatures, etc). Georgia is merely circumventing this coming change in advance.

            And the argument calling it “voter suppression” is not completely wrong, as it will suppress the votes of those *that are not allowed to vote by law anyway*. Other than that, it’s nothing more than a Brian Stelter sideshow gag.

          • Redneck Liberal April 6, 2021 at 6:32 pm #

            Mr. Mango

            What you say may or may not be so, but JHK didn’t go there on this point. He implied quite deliberately that the Georgia Voter ID law is ‘new’ and that the corporates who object to all the OTHER shit the GA GOP is implementing are actually objecting to Voter ID. Clearly, this is not the case.

          • Redneck Liberal April 6, 2021 at 6:34 pm #

            Mr Mango – as posted below, but here again for your edification:

            “Consumer-driven corporate America is increasingly throwing its weight against the new voter suppression measures across the country. While MLB and Coca-Cola are out front on the new Georgia voting law, American Airlines, Microsoft, and Dell are all opposing the new Texas voter restriction measures. These corporations are focused on those Americans with buying power, and on those they predict will have that buying power going forward. When they take a stand against voter suppression laws, they are making a bet that the future of America is moving away from the Republicans toward a more inclusive society.“

    Well I have a little different take on it for what we are receiving is what we have dished out to others for so many years, war and more wars as we tried like the old Roman Empire that we are based on to bend the world to our dictates, our looting of any and everything that’s of any value no matter how many lives it took or cost or who they belonged to and the American people went along with it as long as their space wasn’t violated. Now perhaps they will learn a great lesson, but only time will tell as they will beat the drums of war to try and save what can’t be saved..

Something else has awakened in this land: a recognition that we are in serious trouble, that our adversaries are having their way with us as we act stupidly, that we have become our own worst enemies, that being insane is not a virtue.”

    Hoping upon hopes this is true, that we will soon hit Peak Wokery, and the hysteria will evaporate. For those of us working in education, it’s doubly painful and torturesome, to hear the wokies droning on about how horrible white people are, and that BIPOC (lol) can do no wrong. Insanity.

    There are multiple players/power centers capitalizing on this woke hysteria to advance their goals. Covid 19 is the shock and awe and many feel they can use the situation to their advantage.

    As John Kerry stated in mid Nov, immediately after the election, “”And yes, it [the Great Reset] will happen,” Kerry continued. “And I think it will happen with greater speed and with greater intensity than a lot of people might imagine. In effect, the citizens of the United States have just done a Great Reset. We’ve done a Great Reset. And it was a record level of voting.” Kerry later argued that the Great Reset is necessary to slow the “climate crisis” and that “I know Joe Biden believes … it’s not enough just to rejoin Paris [the Paris Climate Accords] for the United States. It’s not enough for us to just do the minimum of what Paris requires.”

    Note these comments were immediately after the election and nothing said during the election. The great deception. I suspect the elites want to keep America in “shock and awe” as the implement “The Great Reset”. Not just America, look up comments by Trudeau in Canada and the Prince of Wales. Look up Merkel’s comments on the Great Reset.

    While the elites move forward with their goals, others such as the hard left have their own goals which the elites dismiss as unimportant and controllable. Well time will tell who will achieve their objectives and whether the country will survive their radical departure from the republic and the constitution.

    In a short video showcased on social media, the WEF (World Economic Forum) predicts that by 2030, “You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.” Of course, the elites will own everything. And yes, you will own nothing…almost as if we were back in the days of Marxism.

    Bad times are here. Better prepare.

        I’ve heard a lot about reparations, but I’ve never heard the actual amounts that will suffice. LeBron James couldn’t possibly advocate for GM Hummers unless the ‘repaired’ would be able to easily purchase one or more of these with the granted funds. Every year.

        I suspect that any proposed amount that does not allow an approximation of LeBron James’ lifestyle will be considered inadequate.

        Q: Will a government-issued ID be required to collect one’s reparations check? If so, do you imagine there would be the slightest difficulty in all persons eligible immediately obtaining such in triplicate, if necessary? If not, I’m in line myself.

      Are there emptier words in the English language as “better prepare” or “prepare accordingly”?? When TSHTF, even the best “prepared” will be screwed. My only advice is to make your peace and tell the people you care about how you feel while you have the chance.

      • U R IntheVillage April 5, 2021 at 1:50 pm #

        There is no “preparing” with a capital “P.” You can only sit on your porch with a weapon behind sandbags and protect your garden or your basement full of canned food from the hordes of the unprepared for so long before you need to take a nap. And you have to be mentally prepared to shoot a stripling or someone’s grandmother to keep them from stealing a carrot or a potato. Then there’s the problem of corpses rotting on your property.

        If you happen to live in a rural area amongst a number of like-minded folks, you might form a mutual protection pact. But medieval cities had walls. And their assailants didn’t have nearly the firepower available today.

        A few weeks supply of groceries, water, fuel, etc is prudent for short term problems, but surviving a Hobbesian nightmare in relative comfort is a fiction, IMHO.

          Yes – I’ve always admired those who have sacrificed a lot, and poured huge money and time over the years into preparing to live totally off the grid, and with superb self-sufficiency – essentially for decades. Some of what they set up is amazing, in terms of food, medicine, energy generation, water, waste management, pest control – it’s a long list.

      Truly a holy book. Part of the New Canon.

      Trump knew about the Black IQ. His favorite line against people like Maxine Waters was to call them “low IQ individuals”. But it didn’t stop him from trying to outdo Lyndon Johnson with a new “platinum plan” to put Blacks even more above Whites.

    Speaking of hustles, one could feel the palpable deflation of the American Pravda when the perpetrator of the recent attack on Capitol police turned out to belong to the wrong hate group while in possession of a greater than baseline amount of melanin. The news readers were all primed for a white supremacy redux but alas…

    Whoever’s hand is up the posterior regions of the cadaverous puppet occupying the WH directed the flags to be lowered to half-staff but nary a mention of the racism™surely inherent in a black supremacist devotee murdering a white cop.

      Stories which don’t fit the narrative die quickly, like the black man who brutally beat the elderly Asian woman in NY City. If such a story even gets reported, it’s a one day wonder.

      Meanwhile, those unarmed, rowdy, Capitol tourists of January 06 have achieved legendary status. The survival of the Republic hung by a thread that day. Lester Holt still has nightmares. Oh, the humanity!

      • MaryV April 5, 2021 at 11:24 am #

        Poor Lester Holt and his nightmares. I do believe AOC has them, too. What a hoot when it was discovered after all her drama and hysterics that she wasn’t even in the building during the so-called ‘insurrection’.

        These people are just clowns. All I can do any more is laugh at them.

          Ocasio-Cortez (I know it’s a lot of work to spell things out, but I don’t go for that initial crap LOL!!) may not have been in physical proximity to the neo-Nazi, right-wing, fascist, Nazi, white nationalist, racist, Nazi, Nazi oppressors, BUT!!, she was psychically raped by them – and continues to be!!(!!). I’m sure Lester has the same nightmares – that Ocasio-Cortez is brutally raped by white nationalist neo-Nazis – but he isn’t…

        @hmuller — The man who beat the elderly Asian woman was out of prison on something called ‘permanent probation”. For — wait for it — stabbing his mother to death. How long he’d been out roaming the streets was left out of the story.

        The stats on victims of crime who are Asian are 25% white perpetrators, 25% Asian and the rest black and Hispanic and these are probably the result of muggings. But you’d never know it listening to the nightly news.

        • hmuller April 5, 2021 at 3:43 pm #

          I suppose the perp’s lawyer could argue it’s not a race related hate crime. His client just hates all elderly women who remind him of his mother. Then the lawyer will plead for the jury to show mercy because his client is an orphan.

    Portland PD reporting “hordes” of officers leaving. Duh. No I’d rather spend my summer running, ducking deadly projectiles OR when enforcing the law, being filmed, falsely edited and arrested, after proper feigned outrage from the media.
    Crime rates still rising, especially murder, in large dem cities. The sweet irony of the left’s provocations, standing down police when riots occurred, turnstile justice with no bail or holding tank, just walk back out, is about to take a Godzilla size bite out of the dems image of being able to handle the job. And where’ s kneesup been? Hiding under Willie’s desk? MIA on the border assignment.

    “All social hysterias run their courses. They run out of new gags, and out of new recruits. Their tropes grow tiresome, even comical, such as the Woke mainstays of “racism,” “misogyny,” and “white supremacy.” Their promptings reveal themselves as obviously dishonest. The punishments they seek seem increasingly warped and sadistic. The behavior they induce begins to look patently insane. That’s where America stands now.”

      Now Dem,Libs can pass any legislation without the Rep,Cons so we now have a one party system.

      That is how democracy works!

      One party wins a majority and they pass laws whether the opposition agrees or not. All the “bipartisanship” noise from the minority Republicans is what they roll out every time they lose power. But when they’re in power they ignore and steamroll the Democrats.

      It isn’t a one-party system – but there is only one party in power at any given time.

            I think most of the ‘inmates’ up [sic] here think both parties stink.

            I don’t buy that – 95% of the political comments on here are against the Democrats (some virulently so … JAZ, benr, etc), and there is only a small minority who cry “A pox on both …”, and an even smaller percentage (like me) who believe they are very similar in their roles and their positions in the political landscape.

            The Republicans are far from either a populist or conventionally conservative party, and the Democrats are far from a genuine worker / labor / social democratic party.

          • MaryV April 6, 2021 at 7:42 pm #

            Hating the Democrats doesn’t equal liking Republicans.

            Just as, if someone compliments something Trump did, does not make them a Trumper. And criticizing something Biden does, does not make one a Republican.

    Great article today though I don’t think this insanity is going to end anytime soon. It will take courage on the part of companies and individuals to denounce this and call it out for what it is — vicious intimidation, a willful destruction of truth and a bully threat of violence if the company or victim doesn’t go along with them.

    The only thing that will eventually put an end to this is the courage to defy BLM and antifa. As long as the media and the government support the lie that these groups are righteous and justified, it will go on and on.

    • MaryV April 5, 2021 at 11:22 am #

      I agree. The capitulation toward any so-called ‘oppressed’ group is now the norm. The logical extension of making everything about race and gender. So we’re stuck now, until a big enough backlash happens.

      • SW April 5, 2021 at 12:01 pm #

        The backlash will be labeled a “white supremist/Trump-inspired” conspiracy that must be crushed to make America safe. Look at the zeal in which the FBI pursues the January 6th “insurgents” and their devotion to prosecute them to the maximum sentence.

        Look at the all the companies and professional groups that have quaked in silence and fear — the doctors who refuse to challenge the fairy tale they assign sex at birth, the military who refuse to demand their soldiers wear a “baby bump” to be able to empathize with pregnant soldiers, innumerable universities that are one step away from book burning, and even defying the woke mob over Dr. Seuss children’s books was too much for them to handle.

        An end to this will eventually come, I just don’t see how exactly.

        • Blackbird April 5, 2021 at 1:03 pm #

          “Courage on the part of companies”. You are seeing that now as they undermine their market – the citizens of the US. They are confident that they can turn us against each other, weakening the country (no nation here) and strengthening their brand.

          The end will come when “we the people” are too exhausted from killing each other to see the boot coming down on all of us. Or maybe I just need more high fructose corn syrup…

            Is it all a freaking plot (yet another) or simply capitalist pragmatism?

            “Consumer-driven corporate America is increasingly throwing its weight against the new voter suppression measures across the country. While MLB and Coca-Cola are out front on the new Georgia voting law, American Airlines, Microsoft, and Dell are all opposing the new Texas voter restriction measures. These corporations are focused on those Americans with buying power, and on those they predict will have that buying power going forward. When they take a stand against voter suppression laws, they are making a bet that the future of America is moving away from the Republicans toward a more inclusive society.

    I can’t stand the police, and I have ZERO sympathy for any of them.

    They’re all fascist tools, and if they weren’t that way before, then certainly with their fascist nazi training they are all that way after.

    It will be the police that will put you in the concentration camps and it will be the police that will turn them into death camps. That’s been their history.

    People who think the police protects them or will protect them in any way are completely delusional. They certainly haven’t got a clue just from watching the BLM/Antifa riots.

    The police will do what they are told by the Vatican mafia, and if that means wiping you out economically and physically, it will be done without hesitation, as it obviously has in many cases.

    The police are worse than racists. They are lying thieving nazi psychopaths with a god complex. They have no scruples and like the Roman soldiers/mercenaries of ancient times, the only thing that concerns them is their pay and pension. They will not hesitate for second to absolutely destroy you when given the order to do so.

    Not only should Chauvin be frying in the frying chair, so too the entire police force in the country.

        Any time I have dealing with cops, I try to remember both sides of it. This guy might risk his neck to save me, and would cheerfully break my neck if told to do so. They’re just Dogs. Neutral. Not their own masters. I love dogs, but I don’t pretend they’re not dogs.

          Thing about Dogs is that they have marvelous noses that enable them to sense the motivations and fear of the humans they interact with. Unless they have been deranged by previous human encounters, if you present them with an open palm to sniff you will inevitably be greeted with a wagging tail.

          Not so much with cops.

      Akmofo, our views of the police are 180 from each other! I’ve only encountered one cop who was not professional or helpful or friendly toward me. I’m 75, so I’ve met a few. In all the YouTube videos I’ve looked at, I’ve only seen 3-4 that showed outright murders of blacks by cops. All the others, over a hundred, showed suicide by cop. All of those deaths were initiated by the blacks who died, and all of them forced the police to shoot them, or to subdue them to the point of death. They never stopped struggling and resisting arrest, until they died. In my opinion, the police have been the victims when black people forced them to kill them.
      The other day, my last police encounter, I had lost my balance when dismounting my bicycle so I could hydrate, and I fell over on the road. A passerby alerted a cop down the road, and he came by to check on me. He was friendly, and I appreciated his concern. He could have checked my ID. but didn’t. I appreciated that, not that I’m wanted for anything, but I appreciate non-intrusiveness.

        Are you serious? Are you a serial criminal that you’re constantly dealing with the police? Why should they have any contact with you at all?

        • O.G. Hawkins April 5, 2021 at 11:47 am #

          Shit happens, almofo. I’m 56, have also met a few police over the years living life, witnessing shit, speeding. You don’t have to be a serial criminal to have dealings with police!

          You go straight to the ad hominem attack every time, akmofo.

          I ask how many US$ does bankrupt US gov’t send Israel each year and you start attacking Canada. That sort of thing.

          [BTW Toronto’s condo market is plunging (Gee, who’d’ve saw that coming) but they are not cock-roach infested. Toronto’s condos are on the Wrong side of Supply/Demand but they are modern and clean.]

            What kind of shit requires someone to constantly be dealing with the police? Why is the police constantly harassing people with their fishing expeditions and thieving from them on roads like highway robbers?

          • akmofo April 5, 2021 at 12:02 pm #

            A million dollar 800 sqft Toronto condo is a million dollar cockroach box. It’s obscene. But I guess it’s still better than Hong Kong, where you get 400 sqft for that money. Not surprising it’s like china town in them condos.

            ==

            Sure. How much money does Canada pay for its defense? Practically nothing! You live on the hog on account of the US protecting you with an $800 billion/yr defense budget. And all you do is ankle bite the US at every opportunity.

            “I’m 75, so I’ve met a few.” He never said “constantly,” you did.

            I remembering deal with cops in 1988 after our tennant in the basement suite had a tree trunk thrown through her bedroom window by her irrate ex-.

            I remember NYPD in Harlem one crazy night.

            I remember Vancouver PD with machine guns in a Gestapo presence prior to a Dec. 2018 Canucks hockey game.

            I remember being the luckiest “odd man out” in a Calgary PD RIDE (drunk driving dargnet) in 1991.

            I remember being in the back of Fort Qu’appelle RCMP cruiser for playing our car stereo too loud rolling into town in 1982.

            I remember tossing a vile of hash oil into the Paddock as Regina PD grabbed my shoulder in 1985.

            I’m hardly a serial criminal.

            People live life and have various dealings with Police.

            Your second question is a whole other matter. On that, we agree, Police follow orders, culture and eyes on prize (pay & pension).

          • O.G. Hawkins April 5, 2021 at 12:25 pm #

            You sure got a bug up your ass for Canada, akmofo.

            Your experience in Toronto codos is very different from mine. I was in GTA for over a quarter century and never saw a cock-roach once.

            You’re giving shit for living our lives? We provide USA with a natural resource playground that can be exploited as far as the eye can see. We are their biggest trading partner. We’re the little brother of the baddest ass in the whole school.

            We exercise our democracy as much as TPTB will allow. We forward their agenda with our Gay Marriage 20 years before USA, Rainbow parades (ditto) and legalized pot. We have our role.

            Again, though, Canada is irrelevant. This is Good v Evil.

          • akmofo April 5, 2021 at 12:30 pm #

            Interesting.

            Not one “speeding” ticket or parking ticket by cops making their monthly quota? Not one kettling experience for protesting fascism? Or are these not memorable enough for you?

          • akmofo April 5, 2021 at 12:45 pm #

            Maybe the term shoebox will better explain my meaning. You can’t lead a normal life and raise a normal family in a 1.5 bedroom 800sqft million dollar condo. And it is made so on purpose.

            So what’s the choice? Live in isolation in an alienating suburb, where the kids are bussed to school and live in isolation with their damn videogames. It’s obscene.

          • Yohannon April 5, 2021 at 12:47 pm #

          • O.G. Hawkins April 5, 2021 at 12:47 pm #

            Actually, I remember other encounters than those I quickly recounted. 3 speeding tickets in GTA (1997, 1998, 2005ish). Parking ticket in Regina in 2017. Reporting crime committed against me in Regina in 2021.

            There have been other times not yet shared.

            So what? That’s Just more proving my point that a man, like patrickd, who has lived his life is likely to have had some contact with police without being a serial criminal!

            That’s how ad hominem attacks work. Actually, technically, ad hominem attacks are irrelevantly dismissive but, at least, accurate. You mud-sling.

            patrickd don’t deserve that shit. I assume that he’s a fine chap until proven otherwise.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 5, 2021 at 12:55 pm #

            I agree with your assessment of the downtown Toronto shoe-box condo market. I landed there in 1992. I left in 2017.

            Downtown TO is not for families. Yuppieville. Now that COVID made corporations finally realize that they can have employees office themselves, downtown TO real estate is a screaming short.

            They turned all available land into 30- & 40-story condos with P1-P5 parkade underneath. Everywhere! They turned downtown TO streets into bladder-busting traffic creep on Good days.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 5, 2021 at 12:58 pm #

            Yes, Yoho. All Members of Congress must swear an oath to Israel. Senators? Goes without saying. It is their money … and hurry up printing it!

          They were always super nice and I’ve never had a problem.

        I agree Pat, last encounter I had with the cops was last week. My nephew was stopped for having an expired license ( he’s not that bright). The officer could have been a dick and cited him and had his care towed. Instead the cop allowed him to call my daughter who called me and we drove down there to get my nephew
        and retrieve his car. Cop waited there for about 45 minutes until I arrived. Checked my license just to make sure I had one. A very pleasant young man.

        • beantownbill. April 5, 2021 at 12:57 pm #

          About 20 years ago, I was driving with an expired registration sticker on the S.E. Xway. I never received a notice in the mail about my registration about to expire, like I always did in the past, so I was unaware. I noticed a cop car following right behind me for a few miles. Then their lights flashed and I was pulled over. My wife and daughter were in Florida. The cops told me I was driving with an expired license, and therefore was “an outlaw on the highway”, and they had to have my car towed away.

          I was pulled over in a sketchy neighborhood on a Friday night. Fine. “Give me a ride somewhere to get out of here,” I said. The cops said no way and drove off, having taken away my car keys. I was left stranded in the middle of nowhere. Luckily for me I found a payphone and called a cab (this was in the days before cellphones were ubiquitous). Also luckily, I had some cash, so I got a ride home. My wife came home on Sunday. We drove to the lot where my car was towed, but it being Sunday, the lot was closed.

          On Monday, we drove to the lot, but they said we had to go downtown to get a new registration. So we did, plus a fine ($50?). That totaled around $70, plus I had paid around $15 for the cab on Friday. Then we drove to the tow lot in another part of Boston. They charged me $250 for the tow because my car was in their lot for 3 days. “But you were closed yesterday,” I said. “Tough shit”they said. So I paid the $250. I was too busy to hassle it, and I wanted this whole thing to be over. All together, because the State didn’t send me a notice, I was into them for around $335, plus hours and hours of my time. All the police had to do when they pulled me over was to give me a warning and let me go away.

          So pardon me if I have no sympathy for cops.

          • stelmosfire April 5, 2021 at 1:38 pm #

            BTB, did you really expect the cop to let you drive away in an unregistered car? He was a dick though, he could have given you a ride. Vinny the tow guy was probably his cousin.

          • MaryV April 5, 2021 at 5:31 pm #

            I’ve had expired stickers before, and got pulled over, in CA. But they never towed my car. What state is this?

        • draupnir April 5, 2021 at 1:05 pm #

          The very best that can be said for the cops is that they are bagmen for the city and their job is to squeeze out every cent they can get their hands on.

          May be unpleasant to remember, but cops are (for the most part) people too. In high school I worked with the (soon-to-be) Police Chief’s wife. She and I got along great, he pulled me over every chance he got.

      PS Akmofo,
      What concentration camps?
      As for Chauvin, his knee on the neck is standard police procedure, and it did not cut off either Floyd’s air supply or his blood supply, as demonstrated by his ability to speak and to remain conscious during the time he was restrained. He had complained of being unable to breathe while unrestrained in the police cruiser, before he requested to be put on the sidewalk. His blood work showed three times the lethal level of fentanyl, which kills by disabling the ability to breathe.
      Your post reads like propaganda.

          You really lost me on this one.

          You condemn a necessary control on civilization, the police, for what a group of lunatics did in Europe? The Holocaust was horrific, no way around that. Slavery was horrific, no way around that. All slavery, not just Black slavery.

          Blaming crazy sociopathic people from the distant past is a good thing, to make sure it never happens again. Blaming people today for history’s stupidity is wrong.

          Cops are necessary, and like everything, there are power mad ugly cops. Effort needs to be spent eliminating bad cops.

          More effort needs to be spent eliminating bad perps. The evil in our society right now is horrendous.

            Necessary for what? For writing a report after you’re dead or your business is destroyed? When was it that a cop protected you from something in real time? They are NEVER THERE when you need them.

            Jews in New York city have to hire their own security forces because the cops do diddly shit to protect them and their businesses. Why the fsck are people paying huge taxes for? These grossly overpaid and overstaffed scarecrows just burn gas in their cruisers and yapp between themselves all day hiding in some secluded corner.

            They have spy cameras at every stop light. They know exactly where trouble it, but you don’t see them. And even if you call, it will be hours before they show and it’s too late to do anything about it. And that’s deliberately so.

            In some cases it’s even worse than that, Mr Hawkish. Some already transitioned from being completely disconnected virtual Jews (really non-Jews) to outright Vatican anti-Jews, like Karl Marx or Bernie Sanders. They so completely internalized the anti-Semitic Vatican deceit surrounding them everywhere and at every moment, they became one with it.

            The vile incessant selective duplicitous campaign to blacken tar and sully Israel and Jews on the Vatican MSM propaganda outlets is then further maliciously repeated by so-called compatriots that only wish ill will on their fellow Jewish compatriots. Sounds familiar, Mr Hawkish?

            Ben claims to be Jewish, but like a frightened little girl he swallows in silence the abuse and the staged lies aimed at turning him into a Vatican anti-Jew. He is so psychologically broken by Vatican propaganda, that he actually argued with me as an advocate of this propaganda. When I showed him how vile ridiculous and duplicitous the argument(s) he presented were, he got angry with me for exposing his stupidity gullibility cowardice and ignorance. You see, I hurt his ego by actually possessing a backbone.

            You are wasting your time attempting to rationalize with Akmofo. He is a lefty hater, nothing more and nothing less. Your well-reasoned post is like water off a ducks back to him, and has as much chance of getting through to him as trying to reason with antifa. There are bad cops and there are also not just good, but great cops, and most have the ability to recognize the difference. Only a insanely deranged person would deny the breakdown of law and order in Demoncrap-run cities where the police are not allowed to do their jobs.

            I claim no actual jewish belief system as I have spent more time reading the koran than the Torah and no I am not a muslim.

            I call you out on your constant bullshit and you double down on lies and nonsense.

            I said the Vatican is not controlling the world they can’t even control their own corner of the world and people who claim to follow the teachings.
            They had sway five hundred years ago now pffft.
            They have input and some sway as a billion people claim to be Roman Catholic yet a vast majority of them take birth control and even have abortions and in some cases are even homosexuals.

            Yet Jews control the media for the most part and I suspect have far more influence on shaping peoples reality.

            See that dehumanizing thing is a thing – and definitely has been used in order to justify horrific genocides and pogroms. But sometimes it is actually NOT a good thing to think of monsters as human.

            Very simple really. Pederasts are individuals who have committed crimes, and are so identified. They are unique and singly noted.

            The term lying thieving murderous nazi scum is somewhat generic in it’s application…it is opaque, and it’s application usually…overly generous. Painting with a broad brush….

            You can prove that you are not convicted of pederasty…denying that you are a lying thieving murderous nazi scum is…well, ask Mofo, and his Palestinians…an errant word, an impudent question, a different religion….

      Most Regimes or Dynasties lost 250 years or so, fall, and then are replaced by another of the same Civilization. A Civilizational fall is something much bigger. That’s what the West is facing now, with all its nations replacing their own people with 3rd Worlders and eager to become part of some Transhumanist Globalist Order.

    “You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.”

    But I have been told at least a thousand times now that this is an irrational and mean – spirited matter of faith or belief that I consider such a notion preposterous , or dishonest , or sadistic , or all three.

    ” Lebron James will be in a GM commercial running during the final 4 NCAA basketball tournament hawking the new Hummer EV. Base price: $125,000. ”

    They tell you that you are supposed to find meaning and justice in the moment , but then every TV commercial they turn out says you are supposed to find meaning and justice in a future that nine out of ten will never live to see.

      Perfect that it is Cadillac. It was Cadillac that finally bucked up enough for Led Seppelin to “sell out.”

      The Who Sells Out was a “Ya, Right! As if!” moment of purity (dec. 1967) before their Michelob ad approx. 20 years later. [It’s so insignificant that a Google search of “The Who Michelob ad” yields nothing.

      Greed has trumped all in our time. Selling out is now nothing more than Good business. Feast & Feed the Capstone.

      • Blackbird April 5, 2021 at 1:46 pm #

        I suspect that the Who sold out at the very beginning of their career. I remember reading a quote (in High Times magazine – or was it Rolling Stone? – back in the ’80’s) from Pete Townshend in which he said (and I paraphrase): “We aren’t just part of the Establishment, we are the Establishment.”

        And yet, some great music – at least from the perspective of my boot-stomped, victory-gin-scrubbed mind. A beautiful lie.

        • O.G. Hawkins April 5, 2021 at 1:57 pm #

          That brings to mind the conspiracy theory of Laurel Canyon and the whole Hippies guided from Love to Hedonism as a US gov’t operation. Many stars of that era were kids of US military & intel.

          Then the whole “Paul is Dead” and The Beatles leading their social agenda at that time in co-ordination with MI5.

          —–

          Keith Moon was the Best drummer ever, imho. Kudos to Bonham & Peart but Moon’s hands were lightning fast.

        Interestingly, I think what you’re seeing is a desperate search for and identity. In their quest to “be somebody” in particular, they will decide they don’t like brussels sprouts or call attention to their allergies, or imagine they have something interesting wrong with them, or drink Dr. Pepper so they can “be a Pepper.” They will buy a car or a truck to that end.

        They want to distinguish themselves in some way. I think this is mostly an artifact of the sex drive; one seeks attention to attract a mate.

        Our society does not encourage people to distinguish themselves by mastering skills or demonstrating compassion or responsibility or by other methods of self-cultivation.

    We’re nowhere near Peak Woke, but some are approaching.

    Like Charles Barkley:

    “I think most white people and Black people are great people. I really believe that in my heart,” Barkley said. “But I think our system is set up where our politicians, whether they are Republicans or Democrats, are designed to make us not like each other so they can keep their grasp of money and power. They divide and conquer.”

    “We’re so stupid following our politicians, whether they are Republicans or Democrats,” Barkley continued. “And their only job is, ‘Hey, let’s make these people not like each other. We don’t live in their neighborhoods. We all got money. Let’s make the whites and Blacks not like each other. Let’s make rich people and poor people not like each other. Let’s scramble the middle class.’ I truly believe that in my heart.”

    Peak woke is when people finally realize who is emptying their pockets and stripping away their freedoms.

    Made to believe the threat is the have nothings. Not the have everything and never sated.
    More money
    More power

    The have nots distracted with powerless working class rubes who the have everything’s told them are racists
    Because of Trump
    Because they’re white.

    They won’t let you get fully awake
    They have safeguards for that.

    Who is profiting from this?
    What are they gaining?

    This has been repeated in western history for hundreds of years if not thousands.

      I agree, Avatar. We are nowhere near the peak for “Peak Woke”. The two Marxists running the country from their Martha Vineyard mansion will not relent until they have it all. The problem of Woke is of course bigger that the Democrats who are “dizzy with success” (Stalin’s famous headline in Pravda in 1930 – Golovokruzhenie ot uspechov – just before the Great Famine in the Ukraine, Kuban, and the lower Volga). It was because the hated forces of counter-revolution, did not have anything left to fight the bolsheviks with. The Republican Party of today is political black hole with no program, despite Laura Ingram’s and Steve Hilton’s assurances that it is a vibrant populist party of workers and middle class. In fact, it isn’t anything of the sort. Trump’s grafting of a few popular policies on fantastic promises, never really sat well with people who hate paying taxes, love sending the peons to fight useless wars with no plan of winning them, are pro-NRA, and never quite lived down FDR’s Social Security, let alone Obamacare. They made Trumpism irrelevant. The president was left with a brand name used by the conservative Swamp for its own purposes. Like the Russian grand landowners and a few big mega-enterpreneurs at the end of the tsarist era in Russia, they don’t care a whit about the common people. They don’t have a clue that their oversized greed feeds into the hatred that builds the Woke project, just as the Russian aristocracy could not figure out where the bolsheviks came from.

        Well said.

        The power in this country is elected. 98% of the same folks get re-elected every cycle. If the people are so satisfied with the power structure they have, no wonder it is so corrupt.

        Two interesting items relative to the vote.

        Why are the anti-ID folks so adamant about a voter proving they are who they say they are? Easy, you cannot manipulate the vote if a one person one vote system is incorporated.

        Why was the nationwide rejection at all power levels of the affidavits that US citizens filed against the political machines? It was unanimous! Not a single exception, not one judge said, maybe we need an investigation. Even the governor of Georgia, Kemp, shut down the investigation. I wonder if he regrets that now.

        How can one political side have that much power? The answer to that question might give an answer to what is wrong with this country.

        • O.G. Hawkins April 5, 2021 at 2:23 pm #

          “How can one political side have that much power?”

          Because TPTB want it that way.

          Dems v Republicans is Frick v Frack giving the facade of democracy to the Amereekan sheeple.

          That’s how.

      • Yohannon April 5, 2021 at 1:01 pm #

        Yes, it is completely disorganized. In the end only half a dozen people stood with Trump – and Trump didn’t stand with his followers. Than Trump appears at CPAC and asks why would he ever leave the great Republican Party. Fatuity to the nth degree.

        And yes, the Warmongers didn’t like Trump, nor did the Libertarians. They held their nose and voted for him. But the Warmongers in Power did everything they could to oppose him. The Democrats are the Party of Power and Money now. And the Anti-War movement is herstory.

        • thirdcoastlegend April 5, 2021 at 3:43 pm #

          One thing Trump seemed to not quite understand about politics is that, to be an effective political leader, one has to understand that in the political realm loyalty is much more of a two-way street than it is in the business world.

          • Tekapo April 5, 2021 at 5:13 pm #

            I don’t think Trump understood political loyalty at all, or the value of building working alliances in DC that endured. Everything was transactional, and it led to his downfall.

            He went off and played golf every weekend, with his useless, uninfluential white-shoe-car-dealer buddies. He should have stayed in town and had nice meals with powerful people on the hill.

            He didn’t appreciate competence and good performance … he only wanted sycophants and yes-men. Not the first or only leader to have this weakness, but he sure had it in spades.

            His choices for cabinet, White House, and the agencies, were pretty disastrous. Too many ideologues and fruit-loops, and not enough pros. Turnover was horrendous.

            Even his Supreme Court picks “let him down” – he was like a mob boss who didn’t have the power that he though he had, and he was always vulnerable.

            Almost literally, no-one in DC died on a hill trying to save him after November 3 – other than a couple of wannabes like Matt Gaetz.

            I don’t buy that the Illuminati wanted him out and deliberately carried out his ouster … so much of what happened can be sheeted back to Trump’s own actions and lack of allies that mattered.

      Mr Kunstler puts forth the idea that “Something else has awakened in this land: a recognition that we are in serious trouble, that our adversaries are having their way with us as we act stupidly, that we have become our own worst enemies, that being insane is not a virtue,”

      I am not sure he is correct but even if he is – and I hope he is – the people sentient enough to make the realizations he suggests are not motivated in the same manner as those obscenely wealthy communists in the Vineyard.

      The Vineyard communists are on a mission and until and unless the sentient beings who love liberty can match the zeal and fervency of those communists we as a nation will continue our downward trajectory.

    ” If I don’t need an ID to vote, I shouldn’t need one to drink, drive, buy a gun, and get on an airliner – not necessarily in that order… ”

    Well , once upon a time when a person thought , ” necessity ” they thought of a limited number of things , and those things circumscribed to boot.

    Now , ” necessity ” is spun out to infinity , and is open – ended.

    For example ;

    Next you will need a document that proves you don’t have a cold.

    After that , to acquire that document will require a process so byzantine and / or expensive that at a stroke a good percentage of the population will not be able to acquire that document.

    And in an instant a good percentage of the population will be rendered de facto criminals . No robbing a bank , taking up murder as a hobby , or selling coke to kids required.

    See how easy that was ?

    The bar to invoke necessity ought to be pretty high.

    The burden of proof to invoke necessity ought to be pretty high.

    Instead , now , every time somebody gets a funny feeling in their big toe , millions of others must once again dig down into their pocket to come up with the money to prove that they have not done , what they have not done.

    So much for , ” innocent until proven guilty”.

    These days , you never even get to the , ” innocent until proven guilty” – part until after you have gone broke , gotten arrested for vagrancy , and been thrown in the jug.

    What fun that is.

    • JohnAZ April 5, 2021 at 12:57 pm #

      Think about this.

      What is an ID for?

      It starts with what documentation you need to get one.

      Your birth certificate if you are a native borne and your naturalization proof if you are a legal immigrant.

      So it provides two things, it proves that you are you, and that you are a citizen of the US, and the state of issue.

      That ID buys you the right to certain rights and privileges, including the right to vote. Presence of a warm body in a polling location is not enough to be able to vote, only citizens can vote. Thus proof of citizenship is required, an ID.

      That flies in the face of the Dem drive for every warm body having a vote as they know that all, all illegals will vote Dem to preserve their ability to hide out here.

      The ID if implemented in a memory data base will guarantee another voting requirement, being able to vote once and only once. One person, one vote. Proper ID tracking will stop cemeteries electing Dems also.

      • Yohannon April 5, 2021 at 1:04 pm #

        And how tragic to lose one’s ID or inconvenient to forget it or mislay it! Especially when a Covid Cop asks to see it. Isn’t only logical and humane to have a chip put into your hand that you can never lose, forget, or mislay it? One with all your information on it?

        • JohnAZ April 5, 2021 at 1:33 pm #

          Do you believe that citizenship is only a token and is not required?

          What a lovely globalist ideal!

          • Yohannon April 5, 2021 at 2:33 pm #

            Yes, to ID’s. No to vaccines that aren’t vaccines and their passports.

            Where do you stand on the passport?

          • JohnAZ April 5, 2021 at 5:14 pm #

            A good question.

            Cruise ships and airplanes are closed environments where this crud can explode. I can see the passport as a convenience item, but no a requirement. Sorta like the skip the security line documentation today. Proof of not having the crud needs to be a requirement as it only takes one case to spread it in close quarters. Testing for it is in normal processing now anyway.

            Remember cruise ships and norovirus. Same oh. Many cruises ended prematurely due to that stomach flu.

            For day to day processing, no passport.

            I think it is important for people to realize that elimination of the crud by herd immunity or vaccination or both, such as Sars1 or the Spanish flu removes the power given to the idiots in DC to approve such idiotic ideas.

            One more. Risk vs. reward.

            The hospitalization and death rates of the crud are fairly well documented.

            The hospitalization and death rates of the 44000 test group and 12000 of the community are also well documented now.

            Zero deaths and zero hospitalizations and a 6% new case occurrence rate from vaccinated folks.

            Side effects can be unpleasant but is it worth the peace of mind.

            If the same mentality existed in the early fifties, we would still have cripples and iron lungs instead of polio vaccines.

            It is individual decisions. Risk vs. reward.

            BTW, all of our antivaxxers and anti maskers, I have not heard of any of you getting the crud. You must be doing something right.

          • Yohannon April 5, 2021 at 7:18 pm #

        I don’t like the idea of having to produce an ID to vote … it’s all too Third World-y for me – and plenty of US states do not require it. There is almost zero evidence that voting fraud occurs because voters did not produce an ID.

        Issues to do with deceased people or those who have moved to another state – seem to be way over-stated.

        Anyway Georgia already requires photo ID for voting.

        But if you are going to have ID then do it properly – issue a simple Registration Card if you are on the roll, or when you first get on the roll. It is at the point of registration that proof of citizenship should be assessed.

        The Registration Card should be good for the whole state, not just the one county. And I seriously dislike the idea that “same day registration” is justified. Election dates are known years – decades – in advance.

        The Dems (and GOP) instead should have a voter registration drive months before election days.

        • Tekapo April 5, 2021 at 6:53 pm #

          And I seriously dislike the idea that “same day registration” is justified.

          Just to add, I strongly support “same day registration” in all those cases where a voter finds themselves not on a roll, and they think they should be, and they have been previously registered.

          It can happen for lots of reasons (some the voter’s fault, some the state’s), and the capacity to update or fix your registration, and also vote that day, should be allowed. We’re not talking about thousands of people here.

    “Something else has awakened in this land.”

    Unfortunately we may not be at peak woke we may only be at beginning woke. Instead of a waning of social hysteria we may about to experience a real hammer coming down.

    If you had this much cultural, economic, financial and political power would you simply disappear?

    This may be the problem with the opponents of wokeness, they think it is not necessary to organize something outside of electoral politics, they continue to naively believe that the next President, the next Dunham report, the next Attorney General, will save us.

          Define Woke ness

          A group that does not have power to define social mores and folkways, yet. But they want that power, to tell the other 97% of the society what they want to see. It usually follows ethnic boundaries, or economic ones, haves and have nots. I would bet anyone that the majority of rioters in the country do not have a clue what they are “protesting” against.

          In the USSR, 3% of the population, the Communist Party, ran the show.

        Adolph Hitler stated Nov. 6, 1933: “When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side,’ I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to us already. … What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.’”

    James:
    I know my earlier comment is difficult to digest. Difficult in the same way your commentaries choke the woke. But you, of all people, should know that gagging on truth is no reflection on the truth itself. Intellectual pride prevents me from displaying my Jewish credentials but, I assure you, they are considerable. And anyway:
    -The last 6 Chairs of the Fed Reserve Bd. know at least as much about economics as you and Peter Schiff, and yet, the billionaires continue to get richer regardless of plainly disasterous policies that prevail unabated — despite the obvious folly.
    -US foreign policy in the middle east makes no sense whatsoever from the standpoint of the people of the US, but fit perfectly, in a short-sighted and desperate sort of way, with the goals of the Jewish state.
    These two issues are not Left or Right issues. People of your background, qualitirs and intellect are crucial to correcting this unfolding disaster.
    The Pesach story began with Pharoah realizing that he had a problem with Egyptian Jews. Its too old a storytoo oft repeated through the ages to be dismissed as mere gentile depavity.

      Two things

      All political issues by definition are insolvable. Issues too big or too controversial to be able to be resolved logically.

      Politicians are people that have failed in their chosen fields and then use their ability to fool more of the people more of the time to get elected. They are failures, usually with huge bruised egos who use their power drives to the detriment of all of us.

      The combination of these two has led us to the state we are at now.

      There are no answers in DC only struggles for power. Power people compete with power people, it is their nature, much to our chagrin.

      • O.G. Hawkins April 5, 2021 at 3:31 pm #

        Exactly, JohnAZ! “They are failures, usually with huge bruised egos who use their power drives to the detriment of all of us.”

        Plus, they are compromised. Each & every one. Many are paedophiles but far from all. Regardless, TPTB have something on all of them. They fight for their role in power knowing that it’s the game between TPTB & the Amereekan sheeple masquerading as democracy.

    Dennis Prager, rather committed in his battle against the Woke zeitgeist, listed a few reasons for the latest trend with the Woke crowd:

    a) Further demonize America.
    b) Further demonize white Americans.
    c) Further divide Americans by race and ethnicity.
    d) Reinforce — or create — the belief among Asian Americans that they are widely hated (and must therefore rely on the government and especially the Democratic Party).
    e) Engender ethnic identity among Asian Americans, most of whom have heretofore essentially considered themselves Americans who happen to be of Asian descent.

    I believe reason E is the most crucial.

    Get everyone to accept and believe they are separate.

      They are different. They’re Asians. A Nation by definition is one People with an organic culture, one not imposed from above as say the Greeks and the Roman tried to do to the Jews.

      • JohnAZ April 5, 2021 at 5:32 pm #

        You know, you are right.

        Think of the USSR and Ukraine SSR. The Russian breadbasket was the Ukraine. Marxists destroyed two generations of farmers in the Ukraine to set up their communes. When that did not work, they allowed a small plot to be given to each farmer to farm his way. Very shortly later, those small plots out produced the communes. So much for Communism.

        I offer this idea. Are the communes of Ukraine any different that the manors of feudal Europe? Is neo feudalism just communal farming? Is the lousy performance of the communal farms in the USSR an indicator of what the US would be like under Bernie Sanders mentoring.

        No damn thanks!!!

        • Yohannon April 5, 2021 at 7:24 pm #

          The Kibbutz was a successful social/agricultural form, was it not? At least by and large? Of course they were/are of a different culture, one more group oriented and very idealistic, patriotic, and often religious. Highly motivated. A self chosen elite if you will – like the early settlers of New England….

          • JohnAZ April 5, 2021 at 9:55 pm #

            The Kibbutz is nothing like the Soviet commune.

            The state owned the commune, the state defined farming regs, the state assigned people to the communes, there was no chance of “getting ahead” for anyone. Like serfs, later called slaves.

            Individualism will always outdo government control, always.

            I believe that in the Techno-Feudal Serfdom of the former USA in the 2020s, rural living will be Better than suburban or urban but there will be the capstone living in power & luxury, a support layer below them and 99.x% people thinking, “This sucks!”

            BigAg will farm Mr Gates’ land. While Russia under Stalin is interesting, I have witnessed how North American farming has changed circa early 1970s through today. You’ll be extremely fortunate if you can hoe a bit of land to grow vegetables.

            Relatively, it does not take anywhere near the man*hours / bushel.

            Tractors & combines are technically amazing. Monsanto engineers the seeds. The once beautiful fertile Saskatchewan prairie land (generated from millennia of prairie grass and buffalo pies since the last ice age) is now an empty vessel sponge for the fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. Massive petroleum products grease & fire it all.

            Big Ag is not considered with Stalin comparisons. It knows what it’s doing. There will be lots of sugar-syrupy puffed wheat & soy Goodness for the BRI ghettos in Techno-Feudal Serfdom in the 2020s.* Big Ag knows what it’s doing.

            In fact, at the capstone, the same people who run Big Ag also run Big Pharma, Big Oil, Big Media, Big Tech, US Fed, IMF, WHO, CDC, NSA, CIA, FBI … and a partridge in a pear tree. They know what they’re doing. They learned from Stalin. This will be very different than that. They’re gonna put the TOTAL in Totalitarian.

    ” Interestingly, I think what you’re seeing is a desperate search for and identity. In their quest to “be somebody” in particular, they will decide they don’t like brussels sprouts or call attention to their allergies, or imagine they have something interesting wrong with them, or drink Dr. Pepper so they can “be a Pepper.” They will buy a car or a truck to that end.

    They want to distinguish themselves in some way. ”

    This brings to my mind this contemporary wrinkle on transexuality.

    That is , I thought the idea was to pass as the opposite sex ???

    By screaming it from the roof tops , they guarantee that won’t happen.

    And then just lately you have the curious case of Ellen / Elliot Page.

    It wasn’t as if Ellen Page was into pink dresses and tresses down to her ass and Barbie dolls.

    And the fact is she struck me as an aggressive , domineering , controlling jerk when she had a vagina between her legs.

    So what’s different , exactly ?

    The whole thing strikes me as rather like a TV commercial , the message of which is both ;

    ” Hey , look me over ! ”

    and ,

    ” Now that I have your attention ; Fuck You. ”

    And that is Elliot Page.

    ( Just like that was Ellen Page yesterday. )

        Again, she is not a man.

    Something else has awakened in this land:

    Something else has awakened in ME: A really profound understanding that, as the idea of the melting pot / E Pluribus Unum recedes, so does any sort of real American identity. A nation isn’t a piece of ground, or necessarily common bloodlines(though this helps, and admittedly bloodlines ARE usually somewhat related). A nation is primarily a common culture and future. Europeans were able to largely abandon their ancient hostilities and form the White American nation by buying into that common culture, and putting it before their ancestral identities. That idea was America’s “secret sauce” and it is being destroyed.

    As identity politics and marxism march on, and as more and more dissimilar peoples move to the territory of the USA, my sense of belonging has receded. I used to see the Blacks, Asians, Hispanics and Jews as my fellow Americans and their “otherness” as a secondary consideration. Much in the same way as I had trouble understanding the former animosity between the various Christian sects. It was a secondary attribute, like class. I see now that I was wrong. Very wrong. Those other peoples don’t see me as a fellow citizen, but an oppressor. My ancestors (both real and ideal, like the “founding fathers”) are not theirs. My values are not their values. My hopes for the future are not their hopes.

    Even as I look around at my fellow “Whites”, I see large amounts of lunatic, bourgeoisie, marxists and people with broken families and drug addictions. And so racial solidarity escapes me as well. My people, my tribe, is my family and close friends. They number a couple dozen, and the rest of humanity are strangers to me. I no longer give to charity, I won’t stop to help someone on the side of the road, and I no longer feel guilt about not having served in America’s Imperial wars. I no longer consider myself an American citizen, but a subject of the American Empire. From here on out, it is me and mine. Perhaps it was always so.

    • Blackbird April 5, 2021 at 2:17 pm #

    And who would be these adversaries?

    I can tell you that the greatest adversaries to our freedom and way of life are internal.

    More so than any poor bastard in Syria or Afghanistan.

    Are they so stupid to not realize they are being played by the CCP? The Chinese are busily developing interior capability to replace all products they get from the USA. You foolish corporations are going to find out the Chinese do not want you at all. They are expanding westward rapidly to the ME, Europe and Africa where they already dominate. Watch and see, in a few years, the US corporations will be cut off in China. Better keep your friends here in the US.

    Beautifully crafted first paragraph in how you show the doublethink emplyed to show the racism and lack of consitency the woke is actually using with this ID example. Brilliant ID isomer you reveal here. It is OK for the capitalist system to demand all of these requirements and restrictions by us to play their game or have the privilege to enter their world, use their products and services, but we should use the same logic for something even more important where transparency and fairness for the votes is considered wrong. It is funny how the things they choose or the path they take reveals where they are tricking, screwing us: deligitimise a fair voting system and at the same time they try to keep us away from knowing about all the manipulation of the past election. It is similar to how they increasingly prevent us from using petroleum (via, for example, high prices, shaming or taxes) but do not look at the effects of their own industries, lifestyles, systems they set up for the majority which disregard this–even if we put aside the supposed cause of climate change from CO2 and that it is necessarily going towards a warmer world.

    ScottAdamsSays Bitchute podcast on April 4, “I’ll Change Some of Your Lives for the Better Today.”

    Go to 44:35. Last five minutes of podcast. Something Scott has witnessed is something that if he tells us, “then bad things would happen to me, so I’m not gonna tell you.”

    “The reason I can’t tell you is part of the story.”

    “If you had told me that it’s possible to witness what I’ve witnessed in the last week, I would have thought that it’s just the biggest conspiracy theory, until I watched it with my own eyes.”

    “It’s information related. It’s about what you believe, or about what information you have available to you.”

    “I see some people trying to guess, & you won’t guess it. Nope, it’s not angels, nope, not aliens.”

    Scott says it’s not in the news, & it’s something that will never appear in the news. Something disappeared he says & “probably only 100 people in the country noticed, but they’re not talking either.”

    “Behind the curtain, there’s some stuff that’s just shocking, just shocking.”

    I don’t have a clue either as to the specific news he’s referring to. But I can hazard a guess as to the category of “non-news” he’s talking about.

      He probably got a glimpse into child trafficking, or the ritualistic stuff that the people who run the show do with them.

      I was in shock too when I started investigating and went down the rabbit hole. It’s too much for most people to handle.

      And yes if you have a big following and talk about it, you’re dead meat on a stick. RIP Isaac Kappy.

      • Tate April 5, 2021 at 6:52 pm #

        Don’t know who Isaac Kappy is, MaryV, but “the people who run the show” is what I’m talking about. And yes, though I don’t know, I’m open to the possibility, given the so-many-unanswered & squelched questions about the Comet Pizza affair.

          Well, if he said something disappeared… I don’t know. Maybe the other people giving opinions are closer.

          Maybe he means the last of our rights. Wouldn’t surprise me.

          Isaac Kappy was a Hollywood insider (was in a couple of movies) and he started spilling the beans on who were ped0s and he ended up suicided.

    “What were the execs of these mighty companies thinking — these knights of the boardroom, these capitalist geniuses, these moral nonpareils — when they cancelled Atlanta’s turn to host the midsummer All-star Game to “protest” Georgia’s passage of a law that requires voter ID?”

    Cancelling this baseball game is just another symptom of an Out-Of-Control Cancel Culture running around the World like a virus worse than Covid.

    Cancel Culture is taking a great big eraser to cancel out anything and everything that is (and was)… America. America has always had it’s big virtues and big flaws. But instead of having the maturity to concentrate and focus on correcting its errors while preserving its virtues, the Cancel Culture Creatures just go around all day with their dead eyes bugged out and their arms extended doing their shaming and Karen-ing and erasing of everything that smacks of… America. All of it. Throwing the baby out with the bath water and being proud about it. Feeling all morally superior about it.

    One of the greatest evils in life is doing evil and not even knowing you’re doing it. And, being proud about doing it.

    “Half the world flipped out at the sight of Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd’s neck at that Minneapolis intersection.”

    And these days, the Wokesters have their knees on the Neck of America. They can’t see that they are doing to our Nation the very thing they so claim to detest and abhor when they looked at Mr. Floyd on that street.

    America is gasping for its breath. The knees keep on pushing down. And no one seems to be videotaping this monstrous scene this time.
    Who will be left to show outrage when the deed is done?

    • O.G. Hawkins April 5, 2021 at 4:05 pm #

      Don’t worry, RS. This mess is most definitely being recorded. Every thought, word & deed.

        And in fairness to Melania, she probably is the most attractive First Lady the US has had – although Dolley Madison – from what I’ve heard – was quite the hottie (and intellectually well-endowed to boot) – although of course, standards change…

        • JohnAZ April 5, 2021 at 8:11 pm #

          Melanie speaks eloquently in five languages. I get by with a decent knowledge of English. Most of the press that criticized her during his term do not have the smarts to shine her shoes.

    Notable Easter weekend in Chi, 41 people shot, 9 dead.

    I know, nothing unusual to see here, but one would think, at some point, everyone available to get shot, already has been shot. But that doesn’t appear to be the case. The supply of shooting victims seems inexhaustible.

    The best Wokesters are the Hollyweird elite. I am so happy they are willing to school me on the deficiencies in my thinking and character. Lets see, they are so knowledgeable because they went to acting school (?), or so wonderful because they spend all their time on charitable works. And of course, they live life like me. I too have a $15 million dollar mansion, fabulous cars and a eight figure bank account.

    This is an old dodge by government–
    Remember the HIPAA act? It was supposed to keep your medical information confidential.
    So thanks to HIPAA, if you have, for example, Bubonic plague or Ebola, no one is allowed to question you about whether you are infected, and you have to give written permission for anyone to look at your health records, UNLESS–the folks who want to look at your medical info are insurers, any healthcare professional, the police or government.

    Upshot:
    Anyone with a deadly disease near you has the right to hide that fact from you, with impunity.
    Government and industry has the power to discover your medical conditions whenever they want to, with impunity.
    If you blow the whistle on someone with a deadly disease– Say, if you work in a pharmacy and see that someone has active TB but is walking around the store coughing, you will face exhorbitant fines and imprisonment for revealing that fact.

    It is much the same with this ID- No-ID business. The internal passports start with COVID, but don’t be surprised if they continue long after as a means to generate computer tracking of our movements. Not that government needs such a thing. They already do it through our cellphones…

    JHK:

    Jim, that is such an egregious oversimplification of the issue. “(R)equiring voter ID” is not what is so revolting about this naked grab for electoral advantage through ‘legal’ maneuvers. Restriction of voting hours, reduction in voting places (especially in poorer neighborhoods), reduction in postal drop boxes, making it illegal to provide food & water to those choosing to wait in line for hours & hours to exercise their democratic right.

    • MaryV April 5, 2021 at 6:22 pm #

      I don’t get the kerfuffle about no food or water being provided in lines of people waiting to vote.

      I bring bags of nuts and water with me whenever I know it might be a long wait (or hike, whatever). It seems a bizarre law, but seriously, can’t people take care of themselves?

            Two debunkings mentioned:

            1) “Restriction of voting hours”: What, you want the polls open till when? People standing in line when the polls close at 7:00 pm (not 5:00 as has been tossed around by the lying media), still get to vote.

            2) “Making it illegal to provide food & water to those choosing to wait in line for hours & hours to exercise their democratic right”: Partisan campaigners only. Anybody else can provide their food & water. Including the voters themselves.

            What do you mean I didn’t get it?

            I didn’t even look into the laws (thanks, Tate for doing so). I just opined on how bizarre it is to worry about food and water in a voting line.

            “Redneck Liberal doesn’t refute my “show[ing] him all these debunkings.’”

            What debunkings? Simply saying “debunked!” does not debunk.

            On the first point, you’re wrong. The new law sets the closing time at 5pm, UNLESS a particular county ELECTS to extend that till 7pm.

            The second point is moot, because, as you say yourself, partisan campaigning around polling places on Election Day are already heavily regulated.

        • MaryV April 5, 2021 at 8:28 pm #

        See, everyone knows that watering the long lines would result in more Dem votes … So GA does it this way and half of America goes, “Un-fucking-Real!” and the other half goes, “Damn Right!”

        Then California lets illegal immigrant’s cousin’s dog vote and the first half are like, “Damn Right!” and the latter half, “Un-fucking-Real!”

          @GreenAlba (UK) & I (Kanukistan) have never seen a voting line where people have time to get thirsty. I suggested more resources: more school gyms, town halls, hockey rinks.

            Some things are hard and some easy. I see these long lines in other States and “touch screen” voting and ask who plans these elections? If there are paper ballots, enough precincts and workers, it goes smoothly, and has in my town for the last 30+years. Of course most voters have no idea who the candidates are or what the issues are. e.g. We vote for district court judges so I have to ask a friend if they are competent.

      RedLib … a lot of those things are egregious indeed.

      And requiring ID to vote is on the books anyway. I think it’s most important that they have good electoral rolls, but also same-day registration – so if you believe you should be on the roll and your name is not there – you still get a vote that day, and the registration issue is resolved at the same time.

      (However I do not believe that first-time registration should be allowed on election day – the staff are busy enough, and you have 2-4 years to get up off the couch and get yourself registered).

      And rather than raising hell about no food & water for those in line (under the guise of preventing “electioneering” – what a laugh) – the real anger should be at WHY anyone should have to wait more than half an hour.

      Other democracies – many far less wealthy than the US, and indeed Georgia, manage to hold elections without torturing the voters.

      But the really oily, greasy, sneaky, awful law changes are they ones that straight-up allow elected officials (I can hardly believe this) to take over from election officials whenever they like – and just change the results.

      It is a naked Republican power-grab – they cannot abide the fact that the Secretary of State was honest and impartial in his management and oversight of the 2020 general election and the special election.

      For the good ole boys in their white shoes, this is tantamount to treason, and totally un-American 🙂

          You don’t care to admit that either:

          a) you donated and had your account drained of around 6 times what you intended and didn’t do anything about it, or

          b) you didn’t donate but don’t dare admit it – at least not around here.

          • benr April 6, 2021 at 9:28 am #

            I did not donate because I knew Trump was probably toast and the feckless spineless GOP is not doing enough to actually combat the scourge of Leftist Democrat evil bullshit..
            So what?
            You really don’t have very much of worth to say do you?

            Hmmm.

            I don’t vote, and I don’t support either party. What donation are you referring to?

            Why would I admit to something it wouldn’t even occur to me to do (be suckered into giving money to politicians who are billionaires)?

            I bet you gave Bernie $27 though, or worse, a few hundred to POTATUS and Cackles Harris.

        POTATUS said, “come on in, people!” and now the kids there are being trafficked, and/or dropped over a 14 foot wall.

      It isn’t clear what you mean. He trained in a “Realism” dojo. Now he thinks “Realism” requires that he disown Realism. But he’s senile. Power corrupts, & absolute Power corrupts absolutely. An old man should not be playing for high-stakes.

        America did have a wonderful culture. Gary Cooper rode into town and quietly made things Right. A hundred years ago, USA was the shining beacon on the hill for all mankind.

        • Redneck Liberal April 5, 2021 at 11:28 pm #

          Really? Cowboy Movies & Leave It To Beaver weren’t the reality of those times. It’s an illusion to which so many ‘conservatives’ cling.

          • Yohannon April 5, 2021 at 11:43 pm #

            People didn’t focus on minorities because they didn’t matter. Healthy cultures are insular and self referential. They are interested in themselves first and foremost, if not only.

            It’s good if some bright spirits keep a weather eye out at the rest of the world of course, both for signs of danger or for advantage if someone else comes up with something good.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 6, 2021 at 1:35 am #

            Yes, Really. Culture is, in no small part, the art produced. Cowboy movies with Gary Cooper or John Wayne or Clint Eastwood are as American as apple pie.

            In culture, art is not hand-cuffed to Reality. Culture is more than a share-cropping documentary.

            Culture strives for ideals. Hollywood pandered with quiet, stoic heroes who made things Right with gunfire.

            That was American culture. Peanuts & Cracker Jacks at the old ball game and success took elbow grease.

            You can belittle it as lacking authenticity but it was authentic to the vast majority of Americans. It was their culture.

          • MaryV April 6, 2021 at 12:53 pm #

            The reason cowboy culture was so popular is because the wild west truly existed. And it was even more violent than those shows ever portrayed.

            So yes, it’s a HUGE part of our culture – like it or not.

            Leave it to Beaver was the quintessential middle class family show, also based upon the growth of the middle class after WWII. Also pretty reality-based.

            American stuff is American stuff whether it’s ‘inclusive’ enough for you or not.

            What about Canadian Culture then? Combined Canadian and English forces crushed the American imperialists when they tried to take Canada too.

            And the Mounties always got their man. A more controlled expansion of course. Settlers weren’t allowed in until the Indians had been pacified. Saved a lot of lives I assume.

            And when the non-Whites rioted in Vancouver, Canada cut them off at the knees, declaring Canada a White Man’s country. The United States followed suit.

            Yeah well … one of the great contributions of unfettered American capitalism between 1870 and 1950 was for many countries to realise that is NOT what the wanted. The Depression was a really big wake-up call.

            The welfare state models produced in the UK and much of Europe after 1945 were very good – and they remain being very good. The US could learn a lot. Even having a single-desk national health scheme would be a huge advance.

            @Tepako

            I agree with you but quibble over your timeline. The 1930s Depression was global. World War II, Leave It To Beaver, Elvis, Roger Maris, The Everly Brothers. Then Ike warned, leaving office, of the military/industrial complex in 1961.

            Then JFK. The Rubicon.

            Dallas 11/22/1963

            Then Nixon untethers US$ from Gold 8/1/1971.

            9/11/2001 – Madman elite boy, operating from a cave in Afghanistan, makes US Air Defence collapse.

            3/11/2020 – NBA suspends operations & President Trump halts air travel to and from Europe.

            That’s the timeline.

            I am proud to say that The Father of Socialized Medicine, T.C. Douglas, had this legislation passed in the Leg. Bldg (pronounced “Ledge”) mere “klicks” from me. Socialized medicine is younger than you think. The year following Ike’s warning: 1962.

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Douglas

          • Tekapo April 6, 2021 at 5:41 pm #

            That’s the timeline.

            I would add three critical factors:

            1. JHK has outlined regularly that American suburbia is the greatest misallocation of resources in history, and I agree, and also that the days of cheap oil are over, and the American way of life will change. No need to worry about “The Great Reset” coming via the Illuminati in Davos – it will come through an energy crisis.

            2. Endless wars, and never-ending incursions into other countries, to bend them to the will of the Pentagon. Central America is a mess … the US caused much of it, like the Middle East.

            3. On-going, hopeless, seemingly intractable issues of race and poverty (and by extension, crime & policing) … I hold great fears for what will occur this summer, and so many inner cities are already wrecked.

            I would love to see all the “woke” stuff fade back to a sensible middle – all racism and white supremacy shit – there should still be zero tolerance – but the BLM and all the anti-racist groups and institutions need to identify and address the “real” problems.

            Meanwhile, pull down all the Confederate dude statues, and change the names of army bases and high schools if you really must – but they ain’t the big issues.

            Your logic is flawed. Surely you are not saying that our host, JHK, knows things about an energy crisis that Davos does not.

            You are watching the puppet show and you seem to get it. You see the strings. I tell you to look up higher, from our angle – we can see the puppet-master moving the characters with those strings. And you go, “He moved his arm! He moved his arm!”

      Your hatred and anger is pretty weird. Isn’t it a good thing that all manner of social, community and institutional bodies are aware of the structural bias against racial minorities?

      Isn’t it a good thing that they are inclusive and aware of all that stuff? Your small-minded white nationalism is really showing. Time to really grow up! There is a modern real world out there.

            It wasn’t a response to the list (random as it is). It was a response to the notion that if institutions become more aware of issues of social justice and system racism – then those institutions are “infiltrated and destroyed”.

Hatred against any whites who refuse to hate themselves, hatred toward anyone who criticizes racism toward whites, hatred toward women for trying to protect their safe places against men in dresses, hatred against women trying to keep their sports female only, hatred against women trying to protect their kids against the invasive and sick trans agenda, which peer pressures their kids to take sterilizing puberty blockers and causes debilitating dysphoria. Yeah so very ‘progressive’.

    I didn’t find this blog on the 50th page of a Google search.

    I saw JHK on TV , and he said , ( grossly paraphrasing ) ” just because we can measure something , does not necessarily mean we can control it. ”

    That looked like REAL out – side – the – box thinking to me.

    So I wound up here.

    And we have maybe two dozen regulars ? But at least one – third of the content is NOT canned 6 o’clock news – type bullshit.

    Like , so far , I have encountered in this small group four different people who have apparently not only heard of The Gulag Archipelago , but have read it ! Again , in such a small group !

    This must be the place.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_5ZyjmSbUw

    I rarely or never compliment JHK , so ;

    He has wittingly , or unwittingly , given me roughly two years of free publicity.

    So I’m happy.

    ” I said it before. She’s really a poetess. ”

        I read Solzhenitsyn in high school(late 60s): A Day in the Life, Cancer Ward, First Circle, August 1914. I have never read Gulag. When he came to America in the early 70’s he said USSR was bad but USA might be worse–superficial. At the time I thought he was insulting us, the people who took him in… I later reflected on his criticism when he went home and thought it sadly accurate…..But no one with any sense then wanted to actually live in Russia.

        We had 5 Soviet State Dept visitors in 1988 that stayed with us for a week. They brought empty suitcases and went to K-mart to buy as many Levi’s as they could…. The Russian ARE great writers though. I told my children they had to read Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy. At least 1 listened…..

No normal, self-aware human being in his right mind would, with self-righteous indignation, storm an Asian Nail Salon…. The Americans’ mental and spiritual universe of fat people shopping and eating in the local Shopping Mall may have been disrupted by straitened economic circumstances?

    I wonder if they know that they’re wearing black leather and shouting belligerently in an Asian Nail Salon? I wonder how many Americans really know what they are doing and whether it makes any sense?

    “They kept it up for four years, using every device in the bureaucracy to drive Mr. Trump from office while deliberately gaslighting, hoaxing, misdirecting, and bamboozling the public.”

    And one device outside of it.
    The electro-leash masquerading as a phone.

    As a cigarette is the perfect vehicle for nicotine so is the smart phone for manufactured consent.

    Of course the boomers and a cohort of GenX are still hooked to the boob-tube. How many tuned-in to that prescription peddling infomercial masquerading as investigative journalism? 60 Bonghits? At least that’s what it takes to believe anything they’re selling.

    Gaslighting indeed. From peaceful protests of statue toppling and courthouse burning to now, where ID required to vote is racist and undemocratic.

    Coups started. Police defunded. Elections stolen.

    Now the corporations outside of infotainment and antisocial media are weighing in. Corporations outside of the handheld indoctrination device.
    Baseball and fizzy sugar water.

    Alas, what’s more American? What was?

    They’re Woke and totalitarian.
    That’s USA Today.

    Pretty soon a red blooded American is going to have nowhere else to turn but to the bitter embrace of guns and religion.

    Don’t worry, they’re next.

        A failed ulcer drug so sweet they decided to use it as a sweetening product as a side note it also attracts and kills ants.

        https://theseoultimes.com/ST/?url=/ST/db/read.php%3Fidx=8125

        Tom diet Pepsi products also use aspartame.
        Another “diet” sweetening product is derived form turning sugar into a form of chlorine molecule don’t that sound yummy!

        How is sucralose made? Sucralose is made through a patented, multi-step process that starts with sugar and selectively replaces three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sugar molecule with three chlorine atoms. The result is an exceptionally stable sweetener that tastes like sugar, but without sugar’s calories.

      This interesting. Doctor had Covid and has the antibodies to prove it. He doesn’t want to get the shot because he fears an extreme immune response and beyond that, he simply doesn’t need it and resents being pressured and threatened.

      He says, They say to wait 90 days after your illness to get the shot. Why? Where are they getting 90 days from? If natural immunity (always the best) lasts only 90 days, then why should the shot give more than 90 days?

      Or do they plan quarterly boosters? He says Johnson and Johnson isn’t a mRna shot, but when I looked into it, it sounded like it was a different way of attaining the same thing.

            Google “the great reset” and you’ll find globalist elitist talking openly about it.

            And do you know why they talk openly about it – because it is no secret, it is a set of very positive principles, and the so-called “global elite” are not hidden in the Illuminati Castle – they are responsible to shareholders, global agencies, their own governments, and voters.

            The Great Reset is a big discussion about how capitalism can work or should work in the post-pandemic, post-BLM, post-#MeToo, and much else, world.

            It also discusses the real threats of financial crises, energy crises, wars, and much else. Does not your host JHK also talk about these things, and that life must change?

            I would add global warming, over-population, desertification, and the movement of millions of desperate people.

            Many of the big agenda changes they are talking about many people would agree with. No need for tinfoil.

            To me this sounded like you dismissed the reset as a conspiracy theory unbacked by fact. Now you say it’s real; of course, we all see it..

            My point is that the globalist elite have a whole lot of harsh plans for the future of the world’s common people. To a large extent they’ve openly published these plans. Then people like you come along and deny it all.

            For example, take the Georgia Guidestones calling for a world population cap at 500 million. Will you admit the Georgia Guidestones physically exist on planet earth? Will you admit they represent the goal of (at least a part of) the globalist elite?

            I can never be too sure what you’ll admit as fact and what you’ll deny as being merely my fevered imagination.

            Well yes … I dismiss “the Great Reset” as if it’s some vast Illuminati conspiracy in the sense that Night Owl and MaryV see it, where the millions who survive the cull wind up as serfs on the globalist plantation – yes – that is all complete apple-sauce.

            I think it’s a GOOD thing that the “global elites” are thinking and discussing all this stuff. There are very real reasons why Business as Usual (BAU) – the great creaking oil-driven Capitalist Machine – can’t go on forever.

            I sometimes really wonder why certain people are on this forum at all. JHK talks constantly about the Turning and much else – and that despite Rumsfeld or whomever – the American Way of Life is indeed very much negotiable.

            Reality is going to make it so. I’m with JHK on all this – what happens in Davos is a sideshow, but so many on here absolutely obsess over it. Reality checks are good.

            Lest there be any doubt – the globalist billionaires will have an even bigger share of the pie after a global reset. The rest of us – not so much.

            Tekapo once complained about not being able to earn interest on his life savings in the bank. For once we agree. I think that’s a terrible thing.

            It is not; however, some natural phenomenon that blew in on the solar winds.

            The globalists and their central banking cartel are now creating currency ad infinitum, destroying the middle class, destroying small businesses (via covid lockdowns), artificially dictating zero or even negative interest rates.

            THEY are reducing the currencies to no value, Hey, everybody loves that free money, keep sending it; what could go wrong?

            THEY want to bring in a new worldwide digital monetary system (totally controlled and surveilled). If you buy a pack of gum, they’ll know it. This is open source and admitted.

            If I tried to explain this to Tekapo in any detail; he would dismiss it as more crazy conspiracy talk. What the rich and powerful decide behind closed doors – a trifling irrelevancy!

            A rock cannot be educated.

            It is crazy conspiracy talk, for all the reasons I have articulated previously. These include lack of real power held by these gnomes of Zurich, huge jealousy and mistrust between all of them, factions, and much competition between the powerful.

            For every zillionaire who wants the US Dow or Dollar to crash, there are five others who do not want that to happen. It is not a neat little PTB / cabal / Illuminati package.

            Our host JHK recognises this – he is always reticent to go too far down the loopy conspiracy rabbit-hole … he knows full well there is a lot of craziness and un-controllability in the system.

    The COVID narrative as an occult work of art Mar
    by Jon Rappoport, the no more fake news blog

    March 24, 2021

    Readers who have been with me the past year know I’ve dismantled every piece of the official COVID narrative. Factually. Scientifically.

    I knew from 30 years of experience—investigating HIV/AIDS, West Nile, SARS1, Swine Flu, Ebola and Zika—what to look for in the fake COVID science.

    I also want to look at the COVID narrative as an occult work of art. That is, it embroils the uninformed person in an initiation of sorts, with the promise of a final revelation and rescue.

    Occult initiations are mysteries, in the sense that the believer is fed steps and procedures which he can’t fathom, or only partially understands.

    This is purposeful. The believer’s imagination is engaged without him knowing it. He attributes meaning to factual gibberish.

    But no one wants to find out that the images and speculations he is entertaining are empty and barren. HE PREFERS to think a ceremony is highly charged and, on some level, is important to him.

    Thus, at the beginning, when “the virus is discovered,” and the initiation is introduced, the believer’s imagination clicks, and he senses he is on a new track of experience. He is entranced:

    This is not ordinary life any longer. This is different. Fear, interest, excitement, anticipation are all available. Which are exactly what occult initiations are supposed to provoke: the magnified sense of possibility. The Ordinary is gone.

    “Researchers have found a new virus, which is causing an outbreak.” Found a virus? What does that mean? The virus has been isolated. What does that mean? The virus has been sequenced. What does that mean? The believer can automatically apply his own images and thoughts and sensations and feelings to this mystery.

    And indeed, the whole “virus discovery process” HAS been conducted behind closed doors, in high-security facilities, in a sanctum where only the priests can operate. Because they possess the magic.

    They have found the enemy.

    Next comes a new piece of magic. The test. The priests have devised a highly complex system of amulet arranging and rubbing, in order to detect the presence of the virus in a human.

    How did they accomplish this, and so quickly? Through AMPLIFICATION. The essence of the specimen taken from the patient—in itself an initiatory step—is so small, no microscope can register it. But through a successive series of “doublings,” the specimen is transformed into a visible object.

    And the believer will take this (PCR) test. Another step on the road.

    Minor priests will announce the outcome of the test to the believer. Positive or negative. Now the meaning of “the virus” sinks in: infected or not infected. Either way, the initiation is proceeding.

    If infected, there will be potions. “Anti-virals.” Ventilators, to bring what the believer may not be able to provide himself: the breath of life.

    And yes, one possible outcome is death. This is no superficial initiation. The stakes are high, very high.

    We come, of course, to the mask. The believer’s identity will be protected. Masking makes one an anonymous member of a very large group—all of whom are undergoing the same ceremony and enforcing it on others. Secret society.

    Masking, traditionally, is for criminals as well. (The thrill of the outlaw.)

    Masking also erases identity. The believer can find (imagine) a new persona.

    Masking includes a sense of sacrifice. “I eliminate who I was, for the Cause.”

    Masking introduces touches of humiliation, guilt, and pride. All standard elements of initiation.

    Distancing provides “necessary isolation,” so the initiatory process for the individual can proceed unhampered. Distancing (like masking) separates the Clean from the Unclean.

    The lockdown is further isolation. Removal from the influences of the outside world and its distractions. “The monk in his cell.” Great sacrifice of the means of financial support, in order to attain purity. Renunciation of ordinary work (employment) for a higher purpose; purification.

    And finally, rescue and revelation—the vaccine. The injection. The transformation of cells of the body, which now produce a protein that stimulates the action of the immune system; a protein that under ordinary circumstances would never come into being. Miracle.

    Immunity and purity are attained. Elite status is won through enduring the whole preceding ritual. A document (wellness certificate) is created and recorded. The initiate can now reenter the world. He is made anew.

    If he suffered from the injection—well, that was part of what he needed to endure. If he died, that, too, was “worthy.” A sacrifice on the altar of The Group.

    Of course, this COVID initiation isn’t meant to be a CONSCIOUS occult ceremony. The person isn’t meant to know he is in a cult. He senses glimmers and rivulets of ritual. He swims among them. He knows very little, but he FEELS.

    As with every occult process, reality is created for him. The whole purpose of the steps on the ladder to redemption is: the quelling of the person’s own creative fire, by which he can invent his own future, freely.

    In effect, the cult artists say: “You don’t make your own painting; our painting makes you.”

    Through the pretended “science” of virology (fake isolation, fake sequencing) and the pretended “science” of vaccinology (fake immunity), the State—which is already an authoritarian entity—becomes a Cult.

    Prior law (the Constitution) is ruled out; it is anathema. It didn’t account for the new great enemy: the virus. “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty” is replaced: “The eternal virus demands the curtailment of liberty.”

    “Science” is the cover story that conceals the occult hypnotic inducement.

    Yoho: Right belief has replaced healthy debate and tolerance for diversity of opinion. Of course not all opinions are equally valid. They’re right about that. But they’ve chosen all the wrong opinions to make into holy writ on just about everything.

    Believing in Science is not understanding it. And it in itself is far from fixed on the issue of viruses and disease. Much healthy debate and experimentation remains to be done – but financial and political interests won’t allow it to be.

      And again the lines between Science and Religion become blurred and the two become difficult to distinguish. Though alchemists are likely far more ethical and hippocratic oath oriented than the experimental vaccine manufacturers. But who will administer the scales to weigh them?

        And again the lines between Science and Religion become blurred and the two become difficult to distinguish.

        I disagree. The lines between science and religion have been sharply drawn since at least the 15th-16th centuries.

        As soon as Copernicus and Galileo worked out jhow the Earth (and the other planets) revolved around the sun, Christianity was very seriously wounded. I took until the 1860s (and Darwin’s theory of evolution) before it was declared completely and utterly dead.

        Anyone who hangs onto a minority cult from Judea 2000 years ago is probably in need of professional medical help.

          Darwin’s theory is still just that. A theory. So I think that the only place that Christianity is seriously wounded and dead is in your own head. Since there are billions around the world, including in your favorite most treasured worshipful continent of Africa that consider themselves Christian I do actually wonder who is in need of professional help. But I do realize that your cult is definitely very interested in destroying all opposition. That is very factual and well documented indeed.

          Your ego again astounds. You just cannot believe that there is anything bigger than you. Science is moving closer and closer to proving the existence of God. Even the most progressive physicists acknowledge they cannot explain why we exist, why anything exists without a creative source.

          Is the force human-like? Nope! What is it? Who knows?

          All I know is that the Creator has interfaced with mankind to make us who we are.

            Please feel free to believe anything you wish – ’tis a free country … fairies at the bottom of the garden, the meaning of gazelle bones and tea-leaves, Donald J Trump walks on water … human beings are a special species … anything you like.

            I don’t care much – but I do care a great deal when organised religious types want their “laws” to apply to everybody, like the Muslims do, and like many Christian Nationalist want for America as well.

            I also care a great deal when religious types hide behind their “laws” to disguise their prejudices and bigotry. That’s been going on for 2000 years as well.

            But no – science and religion are not being blurred, and no – science is not closer to proving the existence of a god, and no, evolution isn’t a “theory” – it is established, settled, proven science, and in partnership with genetics, explains everything in the biological world, including us.

            Anyway – a pointless debate that goes nowhere.

            Science is science and religion is … whatever it is. The two do not mix – science requires research, testing and proof. Religion requires a leap of faith and a belief in the unprovable … they could not be further apart.

          • hmuller April 7, 2021 at 1:35 am #

            Science is the search for facts; spirituality is the search for meaning. Some people embrace “scientism” defined as “efforts to extend scientific ideas, methods, practices, and attitudes to matters of human social and political concern

            As in – we can look to science to tell us what is the best economic system to live under. Hopefully, you don’t fall into that absurdity.

            Yeah well … the founding fathers were very leery about organised and powerful religions – they saw what religious conflict had done to Europe for 1500 years. They devised a secular state run by laws and earthly men.

            So they included freedom of religion, but more importantly freedom from religion.

          • hmuller April 8, 2021 at 4:01 pm #

            Tekapo, if you think religious conflict raged across Europe for 1,500 years; you are not the historical scholar you imagine yourself to be.

            But I agree we are entitled to freedom from religion. Freedom from the carbon/global warming religion, freedom from the woke race theory religion, freedom from the modern monetary theory religion, freedom from the scientism/materialism religion, freedom from the sexual freak show religion.Freedom from all the lunacy you left-wing nut cases have elevated into your religion.

      ‘Occult initiations are mysteries, in the sense that the believer is fed steps and procedures which he can’t fathom, or only partially understands.

      This is purposeful. The believer’s imagination is engaged without him knowing it. He attributes meaning to factual gibberish.”

      This guy is himself doing what he says doctors, scientists, and virologists are doing, engaging your imagination with gibberish, with smelly garbage that he tries to perfume over with the words ‘occult art’. Oh yeah, art and the occult, that’ll reel ’em in. He must have taken a double shot of stoopid to think people will buy this shit.

      ‘Masking, traditionally, is for criminals as well.
      (The thrill of the outlaw.)

      Masking also erases identity. The believer can find (imagine) a new persona.

      Masking includes a sense of sacrifice. “I eliminate who I was, for the Cause”‘

      • SoftStarLight April 6, 2021 at 10:17 am #

        But don’t you think the whole wearing two masks at one time is pushing it way too far? That alone makes the whole thing seem really strange. What is the point of two masks. I can’t fathom it is for “more protection”. At that point why not just stay home if everything is that dangerous. I think it is a ploy to get people to comply with arbitrary decrees. That way when new arbitrary decrees come the people will already be buttered up and ready to comply to be good and responsible citizens. He may not be right. But I don’t see how one can jump to assert that he is a scam artist. What is his angle then and what is he trying to gain do you think?

        • JohnAZ April 6, 2021 at 11:27 am #

          Wearing two masks is Lib stupid. The idea of wearing a mask is to block projectile sputum, that is it. Unless you wear a fitted n95 mask that is sealed at the borders, masks leak to aerosols.

          The idea of masking is to keep people from spitting on each other. Wearing a mask where that is not possible, greater than 6 ft. Apart, outside, by yourself, is a waste of time. It is established that droplet transmission is more serious, more serious disease, more chance of getting it. Aerosol transmission, indoors, distance independent, time dependent, HVAC dependent, less serious on the average, probably responsible for the low levels between surges, resistant to just going away.

          My feeling has always been that masks are the exception, in places indoors when you are close enough to people that they can spit on you, literally. Remember that spitting on you is, talking, yelling, singing, coughing or sneezing. If workplaces, bars, restaurants had used their heads and just kept people far enough apart to avoid spit, there would have been no shutdown.

          Then again,if people had been smart enough to follow very simple rules to avoid being spit upon, the surges would not have occurred, we would not have idiots running this country trying to take away your freedom of choice.

          Where is common sense here?

          Masks block projectile spit, projectile spit transmits viruses, any virus, wear a mask to block the 95% of droplets that we eject and another 95% on the receiving end.

          Anti maskers are concerned about their freedom of choice. With every freedom goes responsibility. Protecting yourself with any means, and protecting others from your spit are the responsibilty of everyone.

          Anyone who thinks they do not have this responsibility to everyone else has a problem, I will leave it at that.

          One mask, only at appropriate times, and only when the density of virus, as indicated by the surge trends warrants the masking, would make huge resistance to the spreading of the disease.

          Anyone who takes the tack that they would rather get or spread the disease than wear protective gear is nuts. Any virus, any time. Our enemy is the virus, not masks.

    • JohnAZ April 6, 2021 at 12:09 pm #

      C’mon man.

      Anything that tears down anything that is trying to kill us is a good thing. Any exposure to disease shortens telomeres leading to earlier demises. Inflammation is a necessary part of life but damages self. Inflammation causes damage to self. Heart disease is now seen as a result of inflammation. Neurodoc’s warning about the effects of future inflammation effects of the vaccines are right on. But no one knows for sure whether any of the future fears for the vaccines are legitimate. My feeling is anything that can slow down the inflammatory reaction to getting the disease itself is a good thing. That is what the vaccine does.

      I wish one person could say that the vax creates the memory B and T cells that give long term immunity and not just the immediate antibody reaction that goes away in a few months. Will we be getting vax every six months, or boosters every ten years like tetanus? No one knows.

      Does remnants of former immune battles continue to reside in us or do the CD4 Tcells ensure that all foreign antigens are gone before shutting down the inflammation process. Will a vax clean out prior inflammation causing damage to self? Does anyone know these answers.

      Right now, I believe the anti-vaxxers are operating on very little verified information. Conjecture to match political beliefs is running rampant.

      Risk vs. reward, so far vaccinations are a good thing, verified by studies of the first 12000 Pfizer community vaccinations. Is there risk of long term effects, maybe? Same with polio, measles, shingles, tetanus or any other vaccine.

      The defeat of disease should be paramount to the research side of medicine, not done at the whim of a bunch of bean counters in DC. SARS one vaccine development was well along before it was stopped because of the disease going away. Until an anti virus agent that kills the virus in vitro is available, medicines’s job is not done. The goal should be to eliminate disease.

    Well some of the most creative artsy type people and scientist types too probably get close to an area that a common person may think is insanity. But in reality it seems as if insanity is more of a common cold contagion. And once it becomes widespread there are scary positive feedback dynamics that lead to ever more outlandish outcomes. Is it possible too that an aged and decrepit civilization suffers mass insanities/hysterias? Sort of like an elderly individual can be prone to suffer from geriatric dementia. And what to make of the cosmic alignment of an insane, demented crumbling empire being “led” by an insane, demented individual who has been in the Senate for 120 years and headed up the biggest, baddest and bestest voter fraud organization in American history? Personally when I started thinking about this whole topic it made me think of that movie Bug (2006). About how delusion and insanity are less about individuals and much much more to do with two or more. I mean, that is my little theory. Its a bizarre but really good movie too. But all of that to say that it might be possible? that this insanity is the actual devastating pandemic. At this point there is no way to prevent the spread of the delusion if electricty and the internet are “on”. So the innoculation is presumably a firewall of common sense, calm, deliberation, and prudence.. Suffice it to say I guess we should all be really worried in the day and age of the nanosecond attention span

      Old saying: People who believe in nothing will believe in anything. If it is packaged right. And once the right people are on board, it can be spread like wild fire. And the right people are available for the right price – and money is no object. The Super Rich probably have some of the best minds in the world working on this. We have no idea exactly what they’re up to, only that it is Bad for us. Gates wants to block out much of the sun. His experiments were stopped by the Sami Reindeer people. I mean, wtf!

      I haven’t read this guy before, really. Just heard about him. He doesn’t seem to believe in the virus theory of disease. Many people don’t. Maybe both sides are right – as in looking at the same complex phenomena in two different ways. One paradigm explains some things and the other paradigm other things.

        Good Morning :-)! I actually stayed up a little too late lol. Sometimes I just have a lot on my mind and have way too much energy to go to bed I guess when I should. Wow, I have heard a bit here and there about Gate’s efforts to dim the Sun but it sounds like I need to read up on it more. I’m sure it is possible that whatever he is doing on that front may have something to do or relates to him also buying up a mega amount of farmland. It is very interesting that the Sami people figure in to all of this at some level. Did you know that some anthropologists say the Sami are the original Europeans. Before the Indo-Europeans! But even then they apparently are originally Siberian. So of course the everybody are immigrants cult takes note :-P.

        I think it is an interesting point. The whole cult aspect of the covid phenomenon. I think his observations there are very straightforward and make a lot of sense. But I am not as familiar with the non-virus theories of disease I guess so that would be interesting to learn more about. But the covid cult wraps nicely into the blue anon “woke” cult so it seems those two canons (?) go hand in hand.

          Why? Do they think it will stop global warming? Or increase it and make things worse? Worse is better for their Agenda. Whatever they say, it’s probably the opposite. Or they just want to destroy all Life as Anglin surmises. That’s a real possibility.

          A lot of the Sami are interbred with the Scandanavians now and look like them, Sami traits being recessive. They weren’t very good looking in their natural state to my eyes. But perhaps the few pure bloods remaining mourn the destruction of their people. Maybe there’s more of the pure blooded to the East in Finland and Russia. I think riding Reindeer is really cool in any case. What does modern life have that could match that? They should remain as they are and be allowed to do so.

          They may be a living link between the Caucasian and Mongolian races – like the almost vanished Ainu of Japan.

        • Blackbird April 6, 2021 at 1:48 pm #

          My limited reading on the subject has led me to the conclusion that the Sami (and other Finno-Ugric speakers of Scandinavia/Siberia) are remnants of the North European Hunter-Gatherers (aka the “Original Europeans”). Their cold, wet, isolated environment kept them from being overwhelmed by successive migrations of Anatolian Agriculturalists (ca. 7,000 B.C.) and the later Andronovo/Aryan/Indo-European speakers ca. 3,000 – 2,000 B.C.). Some of these Siberian populations (e.g., the Komi) have very high rates of blue-eyed blondness. Makes me wonder if Siberian admixture helped to develop the common Scandinavian phenotype. As fascinating as the genetic history of the Finno-Ugric people is, I have found little information on the subject.

          Recent research seems to indicate that the North European Hunter-Gatherers had neighbors on the east side of the Urals – the North Eurasian Hunter-Gatherers. Their genetic contribution is found in northern Europeans and… American Indians.

          • Yohannon April 6, 2021 at 2:02 pm #

            The original Sami look very different: small, dark, mongolian type features along with the Caucasian. If we are related, it is very far back indeed as I said. Mixes tend to be problematic, with lots of dimorphism and health problems. Unlike East Asian or Inuit mixes with Caucasians which tend to be fine. Strange if they are more closely related to us than them. Maybe they are just some kind of cul de sac, a byroad off the main racial highways.

            I don’t know about the Komi. Some Aborigines are blonde as kids. Different genetic pathway – nothing to do with Whites. Might be something similar. Or they mixed at some point.

        Terrain theory is fascinating.

    BREAKING:
    Two girls, ages 13 and 15, who were charged with the murder and carjacking of a Mohammad Anwar, 66, in DC , have reportedly reached a plea deal
    On Monday, the teens are said to have reached the deal with prosecutors that would ensure they won’t be held past age of 21 nor be placed in a prison facility
    Anwar died when police said the girls, armed with a taser, sped off in his car as he clung to the driver’s side with the door open and crashed seconds later

    I note two things:
    1) No talk of charging these murderers with a hate crime.
    2) People who entered the Capitol without permission face tougher penalties than these two murderers. That’s considered justice under the illegitimate government in power.

    For the zombies, brainwashed, and simpleton libtards who are gun-ho to take the mRNA procedures (not vaccines), NATURE, arguably the most well respected science journal in the Western World, just published an article showing the mechanisms by which mRNA ‘vaccines’ cause hyper-immunopathologic reactions (i.e your mRNA stimulated antibodies attack your own tissues massively).

    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-020-00789-5

    Some of you will thank me for this in the next year or so.

      I’m not gung-ho about taking any medication, neurodoc, but I’m curious as to why you’d claim this article is ‘just published’ when it was actually published 7 months ago, and I’d bet my house all the vaccine developers read it back then. I read the abstract months ago, partly because ADE was being talked about with regard to Covid19 itself, and partly because my daughter experienced it with two doses of dengue, the second worse than the first. And finally because it was being discussed in relation to vaccines back when the currently used ones were still in trial.

      It describes a hypothetical risk, as far as I can see (like the hypothetical risk of ADE from the actual disease), rather than a mechanism for which there is any real-life evidence as yet in the case of these vaccines.

      In fact I’m also aware that the developers have been extremely conscious of this hypothetical risk (as you’d expect them to be) as I read articles to that effect back in May and June (one in Nature).

      Obviously I defer to your medical knowledge generally, and I suppose in your world it helps to refer to or address people as zombies, simpleton libtards, so whatever, to make your point. But I expect some of them aren’t so simple that they can’t read a date on a journal article.

      It’s the first thing I look at since knowledge is increasing all the time.

      • Yohannon April 6, 2021 at 12:21 pm #

        And some knowledge doesn’t change. Why? Because it’s true and becomes the basis for any knew knowledge. If everything was always changing, always up for grabs, we’d never get anywhere.

        Seven months old! No if true, it’s a lot older than that. ADE is hypothetical? To you maybe, not to the people or animals who get it and who have died from it.

        We’re dealing with two things: the physical realities and our psychological reactions to them, in this case trying to understand them. The scientific quest. Please don’t mix these two things up or try to replace the physical with the psychological. As the Old Alchemists said, before two things can be profitably combined, they must be separated.

        • GreenAlba April 6, 2021 at 1:07 pm #

          Why don’t you read things properly? I didn’t say ADE was hypothetical – I’ve just told you my daughter had it with dengue, which is common.

          I said it remains hypothetical in the context of Covid19 vaccines. At the moment. If a whole lot of people get it, then it won’t be hypothetical any more.

          So first the article is ‘just published’ and now it’s a lot older than the date that’s actually on it? Are you folks for real? It’s got a date on it, just look. Jeez. ‘Published 09 September 2020.’

          Your first and last paragraphs have nothing to do with ADE. Mix up whatever you want but don’t dump it on me. I try to be clear.

          • michael April 6, 2021 at 7:26 pm #

            Already linked to by neurodoc:
            https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-020-00789-5

            ADE, two pathways:

            (a) Antibodies no longer neutralizing (virus has mutated) +
            virus able to infect macrophages:
            antibodies bind weakly to free floating (i.e. non-intracellular) virus particles and traffic them to macrophages, virus infects the macrophage and multiplies instead of being destroyed.
            So far: no evidence any variant can infect macrophages.

            (b) antibodies form immune complexes (agglomeration of viral particles and antibodies) leading to excessive activation of the immune cascade in lung tissue + (not in the paper) suppression of M2 (= healing, anti-inflammatory) macrophages.

            Result: inflammatory processes (virus cleanup) dominates but is not followed by healing processes –> lung tissue damage.

            Already observed.

          • GreenAlba April 7, 2021 at 8:04 am #

            michael

            Do you think ADE has been involved in the development of variants that occurred before the vaccination programme?

            I may be getting the chronology wrong, but the Brazilian situation seems pretty serious, with the virus killing younger patients, and hospitals at breaking point. Did that variant not develop independently of the vaccination programme, as did (I think) the British variant that seems to be taking over in Europe?

            Seems we’re damned if we do and damned if we don’t?

          • michael April 7, 2021 at 11:42 am #

            @GreenAlba below:
            For a new variant to induce ADE via the first pathway it needs to be able to infect white blood cells. This has probably not happened yet.
            ADE via the second pathway (inflammation and tissue damage in the lung) may be happening with the new variants since it is already happening with the original virus.

            The virus now attacking the young more vigorously is an interesting point. The alarm about the vaccination campaign was raised by this guy:
            https://www.geertvandenbossche.org/
            He has two main arguments:
            (I) leaky vaccines applied in a pandemic breed more virulent, vaccine resistant strains. This is not controversial and is already observed with Covid-19.

            (II) Once the virus has mutated so that existing antibodies become non-neutralizing, they will actually interfere with the action of natural antibodies thus becoming a problem for the innate (nonspecific) immune response.

            A prediction from this is the following: the young, who previously were not much affected, now get sick: previously they were able to fend off the virus with the innate immune response (generalized against novel pathogen) and then built up pathogen specific antibodies (like what you get from a vaccine). But these antibodies are no longer neutralizing since the virus has mutated and now all they do is hampering the innate immune response.

            I read up on the mechanism he proposes for that and I am not convinced. The immune system is extremely complicated and simple mechanisms are always dubious. An argument against it is the following:

            the vaccinated are also building up antibodies which become non-neutralizing as the virus mutates. They should therefore also be affected by the same mechanism, i.e getting sicker.

            If you get an mRNA or viral vector vaccine, the immune system will only see the spike protein of the Covid-virus and you will only develop antibodies against that (albeit a lot of them and binding to many different places on that protein, so that it will take many mutations to make them all useless).

            If you get a whole virus vaccine (inactivated or live attenuated), the immune system sees the entire virus. It can therefore learn of more molecular patterns on the virus surface to identify the virus. It will be much harder for the virus to make all of them unrecognizable via mutation.

            Mary, there’s a difference between being aware of the possibilities (both real and imagined) of nanotechnology and stating categorically that the current crop of Covid vaccines (more than a couple of hundred, including the ones still in trials) contain a Bill-bot.

            You do recall Dolly the Sheep? It’s been a while now, so where are the human clones we were warned of? I mean, the technology is there and has been for a long time. And don’t be telling me ol’ Bill doesn’t know about it!

          But there are increments in cap doffing. Our doc’s specialty seems to be neuroscience and pain management, not virology, immunology or vaccinology.

          A simple two-step bit of detecting led me to what may be Dr Neuro’s photograph, so now I have an image in my mind (rightly or wrongly) for the next time he insults a chunk of CFN readers as zombies and libtards.

            I’ve just glanced at the first few pages of your document, and I see that it flatly contradicts your own assertion that “They just successfully rebranded the regularly occurring flu season”.

            Thanks for confirming (a) that you are clueless and (b) that you can believe two opposing facts at the same time.

            Priceless.

          • MaryV April 6, 2021 at 7:25 pm #

            Yep. I can hold a lot of conflicting theories in my mind at the same time. That’s called being objective.

            I can actually *gasp* agree with some things and not others, and still not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

          • MaryV April 6, 2021 at 7:27 pm #

            In addition, the part I find important here is the violation of our rights, regardless of what theory on COVID19 you think is correct.

            I thought that was tacit but apparently not.

          • GreenAlba April 6, 2021 at 7:31 pm #

          • GreenAlba April 6, 2021 at 7:32 pm #

            That’s what you said. You didn’t say it was a theory.

          • MaryV April 6, 2021 at 8:01 pm #

            Yep. I do believe it is rebranded flu.

            I don’t know.

            I do know of a shitload of evidence that points to that.

            However, whether it’s a gain of function leaked bioweapon, a regularly occurring coronavirus, or the black plague, the population fatality rate was no different in 2020, and our rights have been horribly violated.

            That’s where this doc comes in.

            There are endless theories still about the virus. It hasn’t been isolated, for one thing. We also know that PCR tests are bullshit, but some still want to use that as an example.

            Again – not sure what you don’t grok about my ability to share something I don’t agree with 100%.

            What I do agree with is the violation of laws, rights, and the Nuremburg Principles.

            “I do know of a shitload of evidence that points to that.”

            Medics have ways of providing evidence too. Like they can test for the influenza virus. Imagine that. But I guess if you don’t really believe in the existence of viruses we’re going to come a cropper again there.

            Also flu has a different range of symptoms from Covid, so there’s that.

            BTW, the notion that being properly fed makes people better able to resist illness is hardly new. Not even remotely new. But it has limits. If you don’t agree, then next time there’s an Ebola outbreak, I invite you to feed yourself admirably for a few weeks, then go and offer to help out with the Ebola patients. You’ll be cheap because you won’t need PPE.

            And guess why the SARS 1 vaccine was left incomplete (as you mentioned elsewhere). Because the virus disappeared. The reason it disappeared was that it only transmitted symptomatically, so was infinitely easier to contain than SARS 2, which doesn’t.

            If SARS 2 had only transmitted symptomatically it could have been stopped in its tracks in a couple of months.

        Good stuff Mary, thanks. Been working on my own Covid “white paper” in order to sort through all the info I’ve been gathering on the subject – but without the carrot of a degree or a paycheck to reward my effort, my progress has been a case of “punctuated equilibrium”.

        • MaryV April 6, 2021 at 5:39 pm #

          Thank you for doing it anyway. I have been collecting articles, memes, anecdotal stories, studies, etc. for a year, also.

    • michael April 6, 2021 at 6:38 pm #

      Some of the stuff that neurodoc spreads is nonsense:
      (a) cells are not attacked because they “contain leftover corona spike trash”
      (b) Antibodies do not attack cells at all, certain T-Cells do that (when the cell presents recognizable antigen on its surface or fails to present sufficient MHC complex on its surface).

      The mRNA vaccines have risk and advantages. Advantage: no adjuvant. Risks: known and unknown, most worrisome: no real experience with the stuff.

      Adjuvants are often toxic, like “alum” (really: aluminium, one of the few substances not naturally incorporated by any living organism). Injected alumunium is not cleared and can lead to neurological problems.

      Almost all vaccines apart from mRNA and live attenuated virus type (not available for Covid-19) need an adjuvant. You might prefer Advax
      https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7150192/
      to “alum” if you get such a vaccine.

      The bad news is: you’ll need a vaccine. The current vaccination campaign is a big biowarfare project breeding ever more infectious and vaccine resistant strains. The reason is as follows: with most vaccines it takes 6 weeks for full immunity after the first shot. However we have an ongoing pandemic. So some will encounter the virus after vaccination but before full immunity. The virus is then presented with a suboptimal immune response which is not sterilizing and selects for vaccine evading variants.

      That resistance to some types of antibodies can quickly be obtained, has already been verified here:
      https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03324-6
      However that was adaptation to _monoclonal_ antibodies (all exactly the same). With a vaccine you will develop a variety of antibodies all binding to different sites on the spike protein.

      Be this as it may more infectious, more deadly variants are on the way and especially so from Europe, where the spread of infection is exploding all the while vaccination is lagging but nonetheless is done in some volume.
      The operators in bioweapons labs are fully envious since they never had so many lab animals to work with.

      Cheerfully the effect of “leaky vaccines” (some immunity but not sterilizing) is already known from a chicken disease. When some of the chicken were inoculated with a leaky vaccine a new virus variant emerged that killed all the unvaccinated chicken but only mildly affected the vaccinated ones.

      This is what is in store for you and me. Regrettably none of the available vaccines is really optimal (e.g. injected instead of inhaled, so no IgA antibodies which are the ones in the mucuous membranes of the lung). Also the antibodies which you will develop (from mRNA or viral vector vaccines): IgM and IgG will be good for the first few mutations, thereafter (soon) they will be a problem.

      They can be a problem already (see the article linked by neurodoc) but once they are non-neutralizing they are only a problem.
      So we can look forward to shot after shot until the immune system is messed up to the point that almost anything will kill you.

      • GreenAlba April 6, 2021 at 8:01 pm #

        michael

        Thanks for all of that. Certainly looks concerning.

        When you say ‘in store for you and me’, do you mean you are at risk even though unvaccinated?

      • GreenAlba April 6, 2021 at 8:02 pm #

        I mean you personally, in this case. 🙂

        • michael April 7, 2021 at 12:10 pm #

          You have to weigh the risk of the vaccine (small but real) against the possibility that a killer strain emerges and the vaccine is still somewhat effective against.

          The probabilities involved are small for either side. I would find out how close we are to

          (a) an update of the mRNA or viral vector vaccines,
          (b) inhaled type of vaccines,
          (c) live attenuated whole virus vaccine

          The combination of (b) and (c) is ideal. The virus enters through the mucuous membranes in the lung and there the predominant antibody type is IgA. You want to stimulate that part of the immune system dominating at the point of entry .

          Injected mRNA or viral vector vaccines work by infecting cells
          (preferably white blood cells) at the point of injection. This will then lead to mostly IgM and IgG antibody production.

          Currently the strains are not too dangerous for healthy people.
          Updated vaccines will protect better against future variants.
          Moreover if you wait a little, side effects will become more visible.

          I plan to wait it out some more. It’s a gamble either way.

          I found some information that ASPIRIN seriously interferes with
          coronavirus replication:
          https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7382528/

          (the “LASAG” there is Aspirin, see also:

          https://www.researchgate.net/publication/312115736_D_L-lysine_acetylsalicylate_glycine_Impairs_Coronavirus_Replication

          load down the paper and search for “Aspirin”).

          However if you take it orally the concentration in Lung tissue will not be enough. You must dissolve and inhale it. I got an inhaler in case the situation gets serious. You can get a good one for 50 bucks.

          At least that acts where it counts, namely in the lung.

            Thanks for both posts – I’ll keep the info and bookmark the articles. I’ve been taking baby aspirin daily since March/April 20, partly because my husband recommended it as a precaution, and partly because I came across some articles about aspirin and Covid (anti-viral,anti-inflammatory and anti-coagulation effect).

            A later one from Maryland School of Medicine showed that hospitalised patients who’d been taking low-dose aspirin prior to getting Covid did better than those who hadn’t.

            https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/10/201022195637.htm

            Interesting about the inhaling imperative, though – didn’t know about that!

        It’s a cold, guy. Somehow humanity has survived for ages without this bizarre genetic technology which are trying to make mandatory.

        And yes: The CDC website admits that they’ve lied and conflated the statistics with Pneumonia and Influenza. Do you remember the insufferable Dr Birx saying with her little smile: We are diagnosing Covid liberally.

    I was pulled over in a sketchy neighborhood on a Friday night. Fine. “Give me a ride somewhere to get out of here,” I said. The cops said no way and drove off, having taken away my car keys. I was left stranded in the middle of nowhere. – beantownbill.

    Bill,

    I know of that the oh so humane nazi police up in Canada regularly pick up inebriated native people, drive them off 20 miles from town and just drop them there in the middle of nowhere to freeze to death in the winter.

    I’m sure Elysia and his nazi comrades had a good lizardly laugh at that in their $50,000 shiny new police cruisers, idling burning gas for hours.

      Seems to me police vary as much as any other group of people, with a slightly higher preponderance of authoritarians and people with a mean streak because it’s in the nature of the job that it might attract some of them.

      Ninety-five percent of my encounters (and encounters involving my wider family) with police have been positive, sometimes exceptionally so. A couple of examples:

      A couple of decades ago or more, I found myself, on the first day of the Edinburgh International Festival, with a convoy of floats about to descend on the city centre, suddenly stuck in the middle of a busy road into town, partially blocking another road, and with a dead clutch. And a teenage daughter with a train to catch to Norwich (England) at the station to which we were headed.

      I looked towards the pavement and a young man in shorts and T shirt came over. A policeman on his way to work, it turned out – could have just ignored me and gone on his way. He wasn’t on duty. But instead he got the car going, albeit somewhat precariously, and took us to the station. With daughter dropped off, he then took my other daughter and me to the temporary police office on the Royal Mile (where the cavalcade was due). He left us with tea and biscuits while he went to shower and get his uniform on.

      Then he drove us to the tiny garage I used, where the guy told me a new clutch would be £150. The car was a rusty banger not worth £150 so I declined, and the nice policemen drove us to a scrap yard, where I was offered some derisory amount to which I agreed. At this point, the nice policemen left us to get the bus home and he walked back to work.

      Good value for tax pounds, I’d say, and left me with a good impression of our nice young cops. Unlike my impression of scrap dealers, since scrap man stole my tax disk before I came back with my registration docs.

      Then there was the nice one that came with his partner to my brother’s house when his son got into a scrape. Wee bro said you absolutely couldn’t fault them for their professionalism – and care.

      Same young officer came round when said nephew was found, last April, dead in bed. Same one again when my brother had the heart attack that killed him, a mere 11 days later.

      Community policing … I felt sorry for the poor guy.

      There are some awful scandals, but most of them are just people doing their best to do an often thankless job, as far as I can see.

          That Derek Chauvin on George Floyd restraint? Israel via Minneapolis. Don’t get me Wrong – I do not think that the restraint killed Mr Floyd but its Israeli origin sure doesn’t get mentioned much on MSM.

          —-

          Sadly, he is Right aboot Cdn police leaving drunken Indians to freeze to death. It happens.

          North American natives have nothing in their DNA to offset the White Man’s “fire water.” Like The Irish on steroids. In north Regina, a white man beserk on Canadian rye whiskey is considered, “Going native.”

          Many RCMP spend all day & night forever in reservation squalor of drunken knife fights and domestic abuse. Some repeat offenders are provided Justice outside-the-box. I am not advocating it but it doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

            Or the gang of Mountie Thugs who assassinated White Nationalist, Jeff Hughes, in Nanaimo, BC (Vancouver Island) when he called the police to complain about noise. The female Mountie said felt terrified of the unarmed 140 pound Mr Hughes and riddled him with bullets.

            She was transferred to a remote part of Ontario, but not punished beyond that.

    https://dailystormer.su/former-pfizer-scientist-speaks-on-the-insanity-of-taking-a-dangerous-vaccine-for-a-harmless-virus/

    Well a relatively innocuous virus. Anglin exaggerates of course. He also says that non-symptomatic transmission isn’t a thing. Well there is the occasional Typhoid Mary. And of course people transmit venereal diseases without knowing it. But for respiratory diseases, usually you know when you are sick and full of the virus, thus expelling it with your breath and coughs. If your not full of the virus and sick, you’re not going to be expelling it in all likelihood.

    A key part of this was getting people to be terrified of other people, and then treating them like disease vectors. If you’re worrying like that, they’ve won a huge spiritual victory, which leads to things like forever masking. The perfect (absolute assurance that the other isn’t transmitting) is the enemy of the good – as in a good normal life for the majority of people, a functioning society in other words.

    Also significant, the Scientist says like many others that it hasn’t been isolated.

        Same with people who get sick with the flu.

        Two friends of mine a few years ago got so sick with flu they were hospitalized, and almost died.

        There’s no diff between that and COVID19.

        They just successfully rebranded the regularly occurring flu season. Easy peasy.

        And the fear spread like wildfire, doing the work for them. Also, states and counties made out like bandits from all the Covid money.

        • JohnAZ April 6, 2021 at 6:07 pm #

          You are wrong.

          Covid is more serious than influenza, it attacks many more parts of the body, propagates much faster inside the body causing our immune systems to over react causing serious respiratory problems unto death. It is not seasonal, it surged in all seasons in 2020. Our illustrious medical community does not even know why it surges. Put your masks on, stay apart, wash your hands, keep clean and in Sept. it still surged.

          Bad ass flu is very dangerous too. While nursing, I saw lots of flu patients go to the ICU with compromised breathing. Flu kills for the same reason, the lungs cannot keep up with the immune systems overreaction. However, flu attacks the respiratory system and that is it. Why? Because the receptors it hooks onto is only in the respiratory tract. Covid attacks anywhere there are ACE receptors, which is everywhere in the body. ACE regulates blood pressure. Symptoms of Covid appear everywhere, including the nervous system, which is unlike flu.

          Besides, what is done to kill the Covid applies to other viruses too, including more serious forms. What we learn from Flu and Covid will apply to future virus development, it seems that each version is more virulent than the last.

          For right now, Covid is NOT a mild flu or cold, it is Mother Nature learning how to kill us more efficiently. For people susceptible to it, it is deadly.

          • Redneck Liberal April 6, 2021 at 6:24 pm #

            JohnAZ – you state “Put your masks on, stay apart, wash your hands, keep clean and in Sept. it still surged.

            The issue is that way too few people took those recommendations seriously. You, and others like you who are not wrapped in tinfoil, did, but as you can easily tell from the mood among posters here, many, many more did not. Hence the surge.

          • malthuss April 6, 2021 at 6:27 pm #

            Wish you would really read the posts.

            Masks do not stop viruses. Masks stop gobs of viruses in sputum droplets. 95% of them. Nothing stops the individual viruses, fortunately the viruses do not travel by themselves.

            One fact. The more viruses during a transmission, the bigger the infection, the bigger the response.

            Stopping droplet transmission is a good thing.

            Masks do not stop infections, they lessen them.

          • MaryV April 6, 2021 at 8:29 pm #

            You won’t find any scientific proof to demonstrate that COVID19 is more deadly than flu.

            The current population fatality rate from just 2020 was 0.027%.

            No matter what the authoritarians who are profiting off it and the vaccine tell you.

          • MaryV April 6, 2021 at 8:30 pm #

            You are wrong on this one. Yes, any type of flu is bad news for the very old and very ill. However, there is no proof whatever that masks help stop or reduce infections. FFS, Dr Neil Orr way back in 1981 found that they didn’t even stop infections in surgical ops rooms, a finding that has been replicated many times since! We should have isolated and protected the vulnerable (people like myself, btw) and then let everyone carry on as normal and just wash their hands more and build up herd immunity. We laugh at the Amish, but even THEY knew better than all the medicos! Nearly EVERY part of the world that did this has seen fewer deaths and not had their economies trashed by wannabe Nazis. I had China flu and had the sniffles (ooh, close down the economy everyone!) for a few days. In contrast, I had the normal flu (what ever happened to that?) two years ago, got pneumonia and was in trouble. We need to grow a pair and stop behaving like pathetic wimps.

            US flu cases 2019-2020 (pre-China flu) 38 million

            How do you explain that amazing coincidence? There is only one explanation possible: that normal flu cases have been counted as China flu cases.

            How also do you explain that the overall mortality rates for nearly all nations have not changed from this year compared to last year, and many have fallen? Again, there is only one explanation.

            There is no one so blind as those who will not see.

      • Hereward the Woke April 6, 2021 at 5:39 pm #

        I got flu and then pneumonia 3 years ago and could have died. Funny how no-one seemed to make a fuss about these kind of cases before China Flu came along.

          If Covid, by being a little more infectious and virulent, fires up things to get some results, great. I for one do not believe in the if you are going to die, just die attitudes of some folks on the blog.

            There’s the postulation that viruses are the earliest form of ‘life’:

            https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/140716-giant-viruses-science-life-evolution-origins

            “In the world of microbes, viruses are small—notoriously small. Pithovirus is not. The largest virus ever discovered, pithovirus is more massive than even some bacteria. Most viruses copy themselves by hijacking their host’s molecular machinery. But pithovirus is much more independent, possessing some replication machinery of its own.

            Pithovirus’s relatively large number of genes also differentiated it from other viruses, which are often genetically simple—the smallest have a mere four genes. Pithovirus has around 500 genes, and some are used for complex tasks such as making proteins and repairing and replicating DNA.”

            The ‘modern’ virus is technically not ‘living’ so how do you ‘kill’ it anyway? I’m sure there are thousands of virologists seeking that Holy Grail, on all our behalves, every day.

          • MaryV April 6, 2021 at 10:23 pm #

            You can battle the flu leagues better by changing lifestyle.

            This is proven again and again, if you are hanging out in the right communities, and read the right stuff. Namely, from the holistic, homeopathic, healer communities.

            For instance, people who take vitamin D religiously probably wont’ get coronaviruses or any other viruses. Viruses mutate quickly that’s why vaccines for them don’t work. Or maybe they don’t exist in the way we’ve been told? In any case – 18 years later, no SARS-1 vaccine either.

            The real magic happens at the food level. Food is medicine. Not rocket science, but basically very logical. Gargabe in, you’re ill. Nutrition in, you’re golden.

Of course Big Lefty Pols, like our own Governor Lamont and Senator Blumenthal, both multi millionaires, both gold coast Greenwich, Ct residents who back the agenda 100%, won’t be riding the bus or living in a housing tower on the bus route. Both live on massive oceanfront estates, and Lamont for one gets chauffeured around in a Bentley, Blumenthal in a stretch Mecedes limo.

          In Baltimore, the DA announced last week that her office will no longer be prosecuting any crimes, which are all racist.

          The Philadelphia Tribune had a different take on it:

          And then crime went down in Baltimore. A lot. While violent crime and homicides skyrocketed in most other big American cities last year, violent crime in Baltimore dropped 20% from last March to this month, property crime decreased 36%, and there were 13 fewer homicides compared with the previous year.

          This happened while 39% fewer people entered the city’s criminal justice system in the one-year period, and 20% fewer people landed in jail after Mosby’s office dismissed more than 1,400 pending cases and tossed out more than 1,400 warrants for nonviolent crimes.

          —————————–

            Tekapo, you are either the stupidest person on this website or a calculated liar. When the prosecutor won’t prosecute crime and the police won’t do shit about it, people stop reporting it. There’s absolutely no point in reporting crime. So yes, it looks like a decrease in crime. Get it?!

            I’ve been to Baltimore a few times – including Camden Yards, and even to some sketchy areas looking for the Bolt Bus pick-up point. No – I wouldn’t like to live there, particularly as so much of ex-urban and rural Maryland is pretty nice.

            “Wouldn’t be the first city to demonstrate that if you stop hassling the community over victimless and petty crimes, then serious violent crimes also decline.”

            Tekapo,
            It is certainly the first city to demonstrate that if you take the report writers off the street, reports of crimes having been committed are greatly reduced.

          • hmuller April 7, 2021 at 1:45 am #

            Exactly my point as well, elysianfield.

            Recalling a classic movie:
            In MadMax’s world there were zero “reported” crimes. It must have been a very tranquil place.

            Tekapo embodies the lunacy we’ve seen in the radical left-wing, nutzo mayors of Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, et al.
            They’ll let BLM and Antifa burn and loot the city at will for months. But as long as they don’t call it a crime, no crime has occurred.

    Rejecting Rockefeller Germ Theory Once and For All, John Rappaport

    Note: In a number of articles, I’ve offered compelling evidence that the deaths attributed to COVID-19 can be explained without reference to a virus. Furthermore, whatever merits “alternative treatments” may have, I see no convincing evidence their action has anything to do with “neutralizing a virus.”

    The entire tragic, criminal, murderous, stupid, farcical COVID fraud is based on a hundred years of Rockefeller medicine—a pharmaceutical tyranny in which the enduring headline is:

    ONE DISEASE, ONE GERM.

    That’s the motto engraved on the gate of the medical cartel.

    —Thousands of so-called separate diseases, each caused by an individual germ.

    “Kill each germ with a toxic drug, prevent each germ with a toxic vaccine.”

    In the absence of those hundred years of false science and propaganda, COVID-19 promotion would have gone over like a bad joke. A few sour laughs, and then nothing, except people going on with their lives.

    The overall health of an individual human being has to do with factors entirely unrelated to “one disease, one germ.”

    As I quoted, for example, at the end of a recent article—

    “The combined death rate from scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough and measles among children up to fifteen shows that nearly 90 percent of the total decline in mortality between 1860 and 1965 had occurred before the introduction of antibiotics and widespread immunization. In part, this recession may be attributed to improved housing and to a decrease in the virulence of micro-organisms, but by far the most important factor was a higher host-resistance due to better nutrition.” Ivan Illich, Medical Nemesis, Bantam Books, 1977

    And Robert F Kennedy, Jr.: “After extensively studying a century of recorded data, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Johns Hopkins researchers concluded: ‘Thus vaccinations does not account for the impressive declines in mortality from infectious diseases seen in the first half of the twentieth century’.”

    “Similarly, in 1977, Boston University epidemiologists (and husband and wife) John and Sonja McKinlay published their seminal work in the Millbank Memorial Fund Quarterly on the role that vaccines (and other medical interventions) played in the massive 74% decline in mortality seen in the twentieth century: ‘The Questionable Contribution of Medical Measures to the Decline of Mortality in the United States in the Twentieth Century’.”

    “In this article, which was formerly required reading in U.S. medical schools, the McKinlays pointed out that 92.3% of the mortality rate decline happened between 1900 and 1950, before most vaccines existed, and that all medical measures, including antibiotics and surgeries, ‘appear to have contributed little to the overall decline in mortality in the United States since about 1900 — having in many instances been introduced several decades after a marked decline had already set in and having no detectable influence in most instances’.”

    How the immune system (if it is a system) actually operates is beyond current medical hypotheses.

    “T-cells, B-cells, neutrophils, monocytes, natural killer cells, proteins,” are welded into a breathless story about a military machine that attacks germ invaders. Push-pull. Search and destroy.

    The notion that THIS is what creates health is fatuous.

    Positive vitality is what keeps us healthy.

    A few factors of positive vitality are on the tyrannical COVID list of what-should-be-squashed: financial survival; open mingling of friends and family; people looking (unmasked) at people; open communication without fear of censorship.

    Nutrition and basic sanitation are key vitality factors, of course.

    And then we have Purpose in Life: where are people pouring their creative energies?

    Obviously, freedom from harmful medical treatment is necessary for vitality to flourish.

    Suppression of LIFE, in order to stop a purported germ, is institutionalized death.

    Modern medicine is sensationally exposed in a review I’ve mentioned dozens of time over the past 10 years: Authored by the late famous public health doctor at Johns Hopkins, Barbara Starfield, it is titled, “Is US Health Really the Best in the World?” It was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on July 26, 2000.

    It found that, every year in the US, the medical system kills 225,000 people.

    Per decade, the death toll would come to 2.25 million people.

    You won’t find that in CDC reports.

    In 2009, I interviewed Dr. Starfield. I asked her whether the federal government had undertaken a major effort to remedy medically caused death in America, and whether she had been sought to consult with the government in such an effort.

    She answered no to both questions.

    Yoho: Some go further. They say no virus has ever been isolated and the whole paradigm is just an unproven theory.

    I reserve judgment, this whole subject being new to me. One should be able to entertain ideas without either accepting or denying them. Make part of your mind a hotel. The ideas check in and stay for awhile and then they have to leave unless the prove themselves.

    • MaryV April 6, 2021 at 8:22 pm #

      Goes along with Dr. Shiva’s theory that food=medicine.

      I have believed this for years, and supplement and eat accordingly, which means I have no problems with weight or energy and I never get sick. I haven’t had the flu for over 25 years. Clean environment, clean food, the right supplements (esp. vit. d which everyone is deficient in), is key.

      I truly believe that people are sicker now (even before the covid nonsense) because of the poisoned environment. Our water, food, air and earth are poisoned. Round-Up is legal! And yuppies spray it all over the place.

      No wonder we’re collectively sick.

      Something else germophobes can’t seem to understand: Our bodies are made up of trillions of bacteria, viruses and germs. WE are not a ‘clean slate’. We need to exprience bugs in order to maintain our immune system. Current theory seeks to do the opposite.

      I figured out the covid19 thing was a hoax 1 week after our school shut down. And have researched every since, and nothing the authoritarians profiting off it all makes any sense once you scratch the surface.

      • Yohannon April 6, 2021 at 8:30 pm #

        So you don’t believe in viruses? Or just that they can’t gain traction in a healthy body?

        Interesting. The old Star Trek touched on that once in a episode. That our very conquest of nature induced a sterility that lead to a strange illness that could not be cured but only controlled.

        We have conquered nature outside of ourselves, but inside the beasts rage.

        • MaryV April 6, 2021 at 8:57 pm #

          I can’t say I 100% believe in viral theory at this point, no.

          But I don’t know. I am seeing incredible evidence to new, emerging scientific theory on it, namely, terrain theory, and learning a lot from many different scientists, doctors, epidemiologists, etc.

          It would help if they could actually isolate this one they’re blaming the black plague on. And if the scientific community were even allowed to debate it (they aren’t).

    • MaryV April 6, 2021 at 8:24 pm #

      Not to mention, where did sepsis go?

      I’m no particular fan of Cher , but I think it falls within the broad category of the culturally bizarre.

      I think brevity is very similar to comedy .

      That is , it is an art that is very , very , very difficult to master , and perhaps even then it requires native talent ( ? ).

      So very , very , very few people are any good at it.

      Come to think of it , rather like the Circus high wire act.

      One cannot master the circus high wire act even with dedicated classes . No , the study requires 8 to 10 daily hours , week in and week out.

      Somehow , though , 99 out of a 100 people have the good sense not to fancy themselves as high wire circus acrobats.

      But , you do see people trying to practice brevity or comedy , when the fact is 99 out of 100 of them absolutely suck at it.

      I signed up for Twitter once.

      Back then it had a 500 character limit ( ? )

      Seriously ???

      You can barely clear your throat in 500 characters.

      My presence on twitter lasted 4 days.

      I down – voted this advertisement ;

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyc1sZiV4Hk

      I then tried to explain that , in my opinion , if you pay very close attention to what the ad actually says , and reflect on it for some time , you might arrive at the same conclusion that I did ;

      That it actually encourages what it claims to be fighting against.

      But , of course , I couldn’t explain that in 500 characters.

      So , Twitter makes Cher , and a great many others , look like morons ?

      Gee , who would have thought ?! * sarcasm *

      • KesaAnna April 6, 2021 at 11:57 pm #

        As tempted as I am to explain why I formed the opinion of that advertisement that I did , no , I will forebear for awhile.

        Hopefully to serve as a demonstration of what I mean when I say that brevity doesn’t work worth shit for most people , most of the time.

    It is fairly obvious that the problem with Americans is that they are deathly afraid of dying. They are like little children when they first learn that death was a part of life. Be Brave, Do Something.

    • O.G. Hawkins April 7, 2021 at 12:48 am #

      Agreed. I never understood the fear of death. It is inevitable yet everyone whistles past the grave in this big, long, drawn out procrastination.

      Don’t get me Wrong. I’m in no rush to die but I do not fear death.

      The current crop of Americans are very much like children. Feelings trump logic. Fear has them trade Rights & liberty for security from the manufactured threats.

      • tucsonspur April 7, 2021 at 4:53 am #

        If not fear, a certain unease or angst regarding death is only natural. Death is related to danger, and inbuilt mechanisms cause our response. Fight or flight. But death is usually in the distant future and the danger is minimized.

        Yea I say unto thee, and yea I say it unto thee verily, that those who dive the skies, those who enter the octagon of oblivion, those who ride the cycle at 100mph through traffic, those that parasail the Himalayas, those that surf the fifty footers, yea, these who giggle at the grim reaper have my boundless admiration.

      It is fairly obvious that the problem with Americans is that they are deathly afraid of dying.

      I find this a very odd statement – sort of a reverse exceptionalism. Do you think Americans are more “deathly afraid” of dying than say Russians are, or South Africans, or Sri Lankans, or Brazilians?

        I think that Americans are WAY more afraid of their inevitable deaths (or even being gypped of their kick-ass Boomer retirement) than are Russians. Not even close.

        Americans are the biggest, fattest, plumpest sheep of all.

        What evidence do I have? Well, for one, The Snuggy.

        Americans born after 11/22/1963 are children on a sliding scale – the further after 11/22/1963, the more childlike. America was the land of prosperity on account of Henry Ford et al but shifted to the land of faux, temporary, living-way-beyond-one’s-means, Hank Paulson prosperity.

          Americans demand mommy and daddy (government) take care of them, and GUARANTEE they are safe. That’s why the government has been able to steamroll our rights: IT’s all for ‘our protection’. And it’s all rollicking bullshit.

          Taking your shoes off at the airport? Idiotic.

          Americans will do anything, maybe dance the Hokey Pokey on demand if they think they’ll get protection or guaranteed safety for it.

    Many scientists who study the Sun say that it is growing dimmer and generally less active over time. For instance, researchers at Max Planck Institute in Germany assert that the Sun is five times less bright than it was 9,000 years ago. And since around the year 1610 and thereafter sunspots have progressively grown less frequent and intense. Some people believe the Holocene officially ended back then and the next 100,000 year ice age began. It is true that Greenland was green and Iceland had forests in the day when our Viking ancestors sailed the seas. But as you can see today they are essentially desolate icy wastes. Victims of Endless Winter. And remember. The fear of endless winter and the relentless march of the ice is deeply rooted within us. So why dim the Sun even more? Well do we think they ever tell us the truth? And would they ever tell the masses how seriously bad things are? Why create a crazed stampede when they believe they will survive and prosper no matter. So they tell us global warming will fry us but they are not talking about how Earth’s magnetic field is getting dangerously weak and that situation has destroyed basically the ozone layer. And they won’t tell you that once the ozone layer and magnetic field are essentially toast then things really do get biblical. As predicted. For one thing imagine an intense electrical storm lasting for days or literal Noah’s Ark type floods happening on regional scales. So one theory is that this is an attempt to save THEIR world. Most normies have no earthly idea about the whole hibernating Sun, and the dissipating magnetic field or the subsequently disappearing ozone layer. They just want to fight global warming as directed. One possibility? Gates and friends and minions know we are headed for actual catastrophe and they have their life boats ready. They want the resulting depopulation. But they are looking beyond that. Calcium carbonate is said to be deep therapy for a damaged ozone layer. Why not start therapy now? It can’t stop the worst symptoms of the disease. No. And those have utility as mentioned above. But eventually the idea is that they can stabilize the climate and most useless eaters will be gone and they literally own everything and the land at that point. They know science is experimenty, dynamic, and unpredictable and so they are trying to achieve depop on multiple fronts. This is one of the more terrifying ones. It’s just a theory humbly provided for your consideration. And now for sweet dream time. 🙂

      Hey SSL, I’m wondering about the sun being five times brighter 9,000 years ago. Talk about getting a sunburn.

      Things are changing with the magnetic field, and we need this field for protection against the sun.

      Depopulating the Earth, that’s some scary stuff, to say the least. I sure hope it isn’t true.

      Pleasant dreams.

    • michael April 7, 2021 at 1:11 pm #

      “…researchers at Max Planck Institute in Germany assert that the Sun is five times less bright than it was 9,000 years ago…”

      If the sun puts out 5 times more than it does today this place will look like mars in months. Get a magnifying glass and project its circle of light down to an area 5 times smaller than the glass onto your hand
      (half the diameter can serve as an approximation). See how long you can take it.

      And that would be very localized. Now imagine this going on everywhere around you.

      Deep thoughts. It makes sense – of course that is not proof. But I think you have their attitude pegged: They are humanity, not us. And they are thinking in very long terms of what’s best for them.

        Maybe they could spring Auburn Calloway from Supermax to train new “pilots of color”. Calloway is the negro pilot who, after spending time as a total waste in the Navy and working for and getting fired by another airline, got a job as a pilot with Fed Ex. When they too were going to can him in 1994, he hitched a ride on a flight and hijacked the plane trying to murder the crew while in flight and to crash the aircraft.

    The term never again applies to the thought process and actions of the American left.
    Never heard of this former “MMA artist” until the woke Left went ape over her views. Below is a picture she put on Instagram with her telling words above it. It has since been excised. And Disney fired her from her role in the hot-chick-badass movie series ‘The Mandalorian’ because of her comments, thereby proving her point; they’re too stupid to see the irony

    https://twitter.com/leiaswinterfell/status/1359490660068438026/photo/1

    I found this picture very disturbing even more disturbing than the ones of executions I saw in Washington DC’s Holocaust Museum. Being shot would suck but its quick. Being tortured is continual terror with an unknown future.

    How could it happen? Ms Carano tells us. Her spot on analysis applies to today not just 90 years ago. It bears being broadcast to every member of the politically correct cabal of “Love” that dictates who gets compassion and who gets censure.

    Because history is edited most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of undesirables or the people scapegoated the government first made their own neighbors hate them [emphasis added] simply for being coined the enemy. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views? That is a very easy trap to fall into the difference of course is most people don’t want to kill their opposing party members.

    “Because history is edited…” What a gentle euphemism for cancel-culture. Government-sponsored hate of opposing views is “in”. Free speech? What’s that?

    I just can’t wrap my head around capricious falsehoods. Especially when inculcated into children. How many black kids today are being taught — not just by their parents but by their schools — that all whites are racist because its impossible for whites to not be racist? How many prepubescents are being taught that their gender is theirs to decide not Mother Nature and anyone who says otherwise is bad? How many Republican and Democrat kids are being instructed that the other crowd is evil? Or that Abe Lincoln was a bad guy? Aside from being all lies it’s a form of child abuse.

    Thank you, Gina Carano, for shining a light in the darkness.
    anmd lets face it for looking damn good at the same time.

    • MaryV April 7, 2021 at 11:35 am #

      Well said, Ben!

      I also thought Gina’s post was spot on and relevant. So, of course the totalitarian liberals had to shut her down. The way they wanted Dr. Seuss also cancelled, because his work showed the warning signs of totalitarianism, and taught us what happens when we succumb.

      Anything that exposes the fact the PTB are repeating history will be cancelled.

      New heros and heroines are emerging, who resist, such as Ms. Carano. There is the woman who was fired from Smith College for exposing the institutionalized racism planned – against whites. Jodi Shaw.

      There will be martyrs next. When they step things up.

    In case you thought California got a bad rap for lunacy, consider this. A male prisoner (anatomically correct and fully functioning) says he feels like a woman inside. So they must transfer him to the women’s prison. Multiply this situation by hundreds, by thousands.

    “On January 1, a law went into effect holding that state prisoners must be housed in a facility consistent with their gender identity, regardless of their anatomy. To date, 261 prisoners – 255 of them biological men – have asked to be relocated.”

          • Rulo Deschamps April 8, 2021 at 3:19 am #

            OG, with all due respect, “the word of God” is not a valid argument.

            True, valid arguments are hard to find. I don’t trust the MSM. I don’t trust the repetitive posters insisting they know the truth, God-inspired or not, either. I don’t know the truth, of course. The closest I’ve come to it is silence. And looking at the world with fresh eyes for a second, mental braces and corsets removed, until the noise comes roaring back in.

            If you read what’s being said here, you’ll find interesting stuff. Stuff that is not “the truth” but certainly warrants some thought, as a possible paradigm and approx. explanation of some side of the truth. A poster in this thread (michael) gave us a well thought and well researched working model of pros and cons of vaccination, risk assessment, the way the immune system works and ceases to work. The reason I paid attention to it is because it agrees with another side of the truth I observed in agriculture, namely that disease and blight get stronger when repeatedly nuked with un-natural inputs. There’s no silver bullet to quickly get rid of parasites and disease, no matter what the chemical industry says. Good crop today, ruined field tomorrow. So caution is the word, and think about what you’re doing not once but thrice. The “easy” becomes the “hard” in the long run. If you make it a habit to start with the “hard”, it becomes “easy” in time. You get what you pay for. The currency is your mental effort and your physical effort and your accrued knowledge, not the word of God or of someone on the internet.

            I’m not a covidian, FTR.

            Anyway, scroll up a bit and read michael’s posts. They are a better argument for resisting the vaccine than “God says so”, in my opinion.

            And GA is right that, while discussions about any topic incl. religion are allowed here unless they make JHK cranky, this is not primarily a religious site. “an old-time revival meeting on stilts” is quite funny, but don’t take it too hard or too personally. It’s just that many of us, as the fact that we are here reading and writing and trying to think for ourselves prove or suggest, are a bit allergic to “revealed truth”. Agnostics, you may say. Not all, but many.

        And yours aren’t real? Just plans, right? As I’ve said before, you simply refuse to project into the future when it doesn’t agree with the Narrative or your internalized portion of it.

        • GreenAlba April 7, 2021 at 3:04 pm #

          Why are you claiming I’ve ever supported vaxx passports? Can you not read?

          I’m just laughing at the Owl’s attempt to pretend it’s only being discussed in the UK.

          I signed a feckin’ government petition against them and I’m paying every month into our principal civil liberties organisation.

          Do you think I voted for the blond buffoon or something? Seems to me he got a whole lot of support on here at one time.

          The more fool you.

          • Night Owl April 7, 2021 at 5:13 pm #

            You were laughing at your own twisted narrative.

            Nowhere did that statement appear.

            Meanwhile, the crowd piles on.

            Good luck, Dr.

          • GreenAlba April 7, 2021 at 5:51 pm #

            You keep pointing out stuff that Boris Johnson’s government is ‘discussing’ without mentioning that your own government is doing the same thing. You do it for a reason.

            Because you were rattled. Sorry you were rattled. The fallout is tedious, always, when you are rattled.

          • Night Owl April 7, 2021 at 6:07 pm #

            So, you lied.

            LOL.

          • GreenAlba April 7, 2021 at 6:24 pm #

            Nope.

            But you lied when you said Astra Zenica ‘renamed’ their vaccine because of bad publicity.

            Although I’m happy to accept gullibility in your choice of ‘news’ source as an excuse if you prefer.

          • Night Owl April 8, 2021 at 6:07 pm #

            I said they renamed it in the wake of bad publicity.

            Which is entirely true and verifiable.

            Feel free to lay out the facts for us.

            As you see them, of course.

      Color me not surprised.

      We continue to find and unearth the plans from well before 1/1/2020.

      Such as, the WE Forum’s interactive infographic that drills down 1000s of levels, which was somehow ready (complete with branding) at the very start of the plandemic.

        Very convenient, eh? It’s absolutely hilarious how transparent all this is, and yet the sheep keep lapping it up. Fear – whether legimate or not – is the most powerful motivator. Proving yet once again that CV19 is indeed a pandemic – one of brain dead stupidity!

    • MaryV April 7, 2021 at 11:45 am #

      One year ago:

      Covid19 is only dangerous to the elderly, let’s put infected people into nursing homes.

      Kids don’t get COVID19, but lets close all the schools so they can’t kill grammaw.

      Nothing has made sense since Day 1.

      And now, kids die of COVID19. SUpposedly. So they need to be vaxxed.

      Insane what most people are buying.

  88. O.G. Hawkins April 7, 2021 at 10:57 am #

    I was talking with my parents. They got their first Pfizer jab recently. They are both mid70s.

    I was like, “How can Astra Zeneca be paused for people over 60 and for people under 55 but be ok for me at 56? That’s not science! That’s inventory management!”

    Mom & Dad watch MSNBC, CTV et al constantly to be informed. Dad looks at me and goes, “They say, ‘The Best vaccine to take is the one that’s available.'”

    My Dad used to be intelligent. He retired 15 years ago and is completely brain-washed by corporate news. Sad but True.

    • GreenAlba April 7, 2021 at 11:04 am #

      “I was like, “How can Astra Zeneca be paused for people over 60 and for people under 55 but be ok for me at 56? That’s not science! That’s inventory management!””

      It’s actually quite simple, OG. Vaccination is the only therapy where you’re treating people who aren’t currently sick (although given the size of the vaccination programmes, some people will unknowingly have the disease while they’re being vaccinated against it, which will complicate the observations of presumed adverse reactions – e.g. the actual disease kills people via blood clots/strokes).

      So, the statistical bet that you make when you get vaccinated is that the risks of the vaccination (never zero) are, in your case less than the risks of getting the disease.

      That ratio is different, in the case of Covid, depending on your age. Hence the cautious decisions regarding age ranges.

      • O.G. Hawkins April 7, 2021 at 11:10 am #

        Bull shit! What science yields those completely ridiculous curves? How could there be? They don’t even have the raw data on these medical experiments in order to assess the statistical risk/reward of a 55 vs 56 vs 60 year-old. They won’t for years.

        This is inventory management and see what happens. We all know that.

        • GreenAlba April 7, 2021 at 11:24 am #

          OG

          The roll-out used age ranges. I was in a different vax priority group from my brother and his wife even though I’m only a year younger.

          You have to draw lines somewhere in a statistical analysis, in this case of the risk of the disease to people of different ages.

          The women in Germany and in the UK who got the blood clots were in a particular age group, so the response was to use caution with that age group.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 7, 2021 at 11:44 am #

            You are missing the point, GA. 1 age-threshold for 1 vax is going to be arbitrary and contestable sure but, perhaps, backed with some data and medical knowledge of the human body as it ages.

            To say that there are 2 age-thresholds for 1 vax and that there is a “sweet spot” in our aging process for the use of this 1 vax is ridiculous!

          • GreenAlba April 7, 2021 at 11:53 am #

            I didn’t say there was a sweet spot. Different regulatory authorities will use different cut-off lines, but the logic remains the same no matter where you place they exact line: you take fewer risks with one demographic than with another if their risk:benefit ratio is different.

            I don’t have shares in Astra Zenica, OG. I’m just telling you how risk-benefit analysis works.

            If you persuaded your parents to eschew all the Covid vaccines, and – heaven forfend – they died of Covid a month from now, would you feel the slightest iota of guilt or would you just rejoice that they didn’t ‘take the Mark’?

          • O.G. Hawkins April 7, 2021 at 12:06 pm #

            GA, I have an Econ degree and 22 years on Bay St (Canada’s Wall St). I know risk/reward analysis.

            Using that knowledge, I understand that there is no possible Real World data that would pause a vax for all but 56-59 year-old.

            —-

            You are talking an age group for caution or pause nit a miniscule age group for green light.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 7, 2021 at 12:11 pm #

            I never tried to convince my brain-washed parents of anything.

            I do not believe that Pfizer et al is The Mark. It is preparation for The Mark. Acclimatization. Normalization.

            The Mark will be a willing choice to worship The Beast. Us Refuseniks will be shutout from buying and selling.

            So it is written. So it shall be done.

            “Us Refuseniks will be shutout from buying and selling.”

            Well, that’s the bit we’ll be looking at this time next year, OG.

            If I’m still around by then I’ll be very happy. And I’ll be making the most of the time in between. There is a lot of beauty still to be enjoyed.

      • Night Owl April 7, 2021 at 11:13 am #

        OG: “These age ranges make no sense”

            They’re figuring you out too, OG. 🙂

            Quite a few figured out Night Owl a while ago. His respect for facts is a bit variable. And if you call him out on it he gets very rattled.

            No doubt people are figuring me out, GA.

            I don’t buy shit like a medically experimental vax has any science behind there being a 55-59 “sweet spot” like it’s not a curve and is instead a “buy low, sell high” stock market graph. People will figure out that I’m smarter than that.

            People will also figure out that I’m what we used to call, “A straight shooter!”

            What is in it for you anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers to be so obnoxious about your claims. Why are you getting so adamant about something that is individual choice?

            I will tell you one thing, your obstinance about this issue is being greeted by the Left gleefully in their divide and conquer world. For every cherry picked item you present, there is an opposing view. There is no science here, just opinion and it’s brother politics.

            You are not going to convince me of any of your claims about the virus. There is no virus? Gimme a break, I guess the same wind that blew over Biden on the airplane has killed 500000 people. Right!! Vaccines are going to kill everyone that takes them this fall as a solution to overpopulation. Uh huh. Taking a vaccine is worse than getting the disease. C’mon man.

            Show me the bit in the bible that tells you not to be vaccinated in a pandemic.

            Sorry if I gave the impression that I’m all worried about all the souls who will take The Mark. Just as I enjoy Hitchcock or Kubrick, I’m watching the Greatest Show on Earth. It’d be Great if someone repented their sins and turned to God after reading something I tapped away but that’s not my goal.

            The vax is a step towards The Mark. We have already agreed that we will see if the Earth is further or closer to The Mark in April 2022 but I think everyone reading this already knows that of course we will be really, really closer than we are today.

            I’m simply sharing my thoughts, opinions & logic. That’s not bullying. Being Right isn’t bullying while ad hominem attacks are a trick of the Wrong.

            I have an argument with your bizarre, and I find quite arrogant, belief that people who get vaccinated during a pandemic are ‘marked’ and headed for Hell.

            I know of at least two sincere Christians on this site who have been vaccinated and don’t interpret things as you do. There will be others I don’t know of.

            There are millions of Christians vaccinated against Covid around the world.

            And for two millennia people have equated their personal pet hate or the moral panic of the moment with ‘the mark’.

            Yohannon, well said. I don’t think it’s an argument as John AZ sees it between anti-vax and vax.

            Some of us are posting information we come across in order to warn others who may only be limiting themselves to MSM and don’t realize there are myriad other sources for news and information. We are in the midst of the most massive paradigm shift humanity has probably ever seen. Many seem to want to shut us up for revealing some of those events and agendas.

            I find a lot of great info up here, and end up sharing a lot of it. I noticed that some people are allowed to do so, and not attacked, but a couple of us have a target on our chests I suppose. Not sure why.

            Indeed. This is all running exactly on schedule. They know what they are doing.

            The road to heaven is narrow while the (Bill) Gates of Hell yawn wide for the multitudes.

            “but a couple of us have a target on our chests I suppose. Not sure why.”

            You don’t have a target on your chest, you just want to be a victim rather than actually answering challenges to things you present as facts. You never, even respond to a challenge in any other way than flinging insults.

            For example, you present us with a document about Covid, written by people who accept the disease which is Covid, yet you also tell us you think that there is no such thing as Covid and that all the people have died of Covid actually died of flu.

            But no-one must challenge you on that, because you are MaryV and Must Not Be Challenged.

            How dare you assume you know where people get information from? You think no-one is able to look up a scientific paper except you? The arrogance is unbelievable.

            Adding ‘Bill’ to Gates of Hell doesn’t do anything for your credibility.

            When you are telling people what you really, really believe, it’s worth remembering that people have really, really believed things since time immemorial and they all thought they were the one who ‘knew’ while other folks just ‘thought’.

            This time it was the daft article about AZ’s ‘new name’. You don’t like your gullibility being pointed out. You don’t forgive and your silly remarks go on for days afterwards. Sometimes weeks.

            Narcs are like that.

            Yohannon’s nothing on you. He might even redeem himself. You? Hahahaha.

            Henceforth, I shall ignore Green Alba’s comments because that is the only way to deal with aggressive narcissism.

            Ah, yes. Another Alfalfa classic.

            AZ decides to change the name of its product and the packaging at the height of controversy as it is banned in over 20 countries for vaccine-related injuries and death.

            https://www.rt.com/news/519574-astrazeneca-name-change-vaccine-vaxzevria/

            But wait, kids. They had registered the name previously so that means the name change had nothing to do with the controversy!

            Big win. LOL.

    Jim Crow 2. The Georgia voting rights law.

    What an absolute crock of crap.

    Everything the Dems are doing right now is aimed at one thing, voiding out the GOP, eliminating any opposition to their holy wokeness. The Dems do not care about any of their minority minions, they care about their dream, a Uniparty federal government with 330 million serfs totally dependent on them.

    Biden is not a president, he is a dictator, already. The media blasts the public with his declaration that the Ga law is Jim Crow 2.

    Here is the central question. Why are the Dems against ID voter laws? Why are they racist in their eyes? It is because of one simple fact, if proof of citizenship is a requirement to vote, the illegals will not be able to vote, people will only be able to vote once, dead people will not be penciled in, and one person per vote may be able to be enforced. No ballot stuffing allowed. No teams of folks signing phony ballots, no deliveries of thousands of unverified ballots fed into counting machines without surveillance. Computers being used to verify votes, not change them. All these claims were affidavits from thousands of folks under threat of perjury. All these claims were rejected, without review by all the judicial structure, unanimously without dissent. That in itself is an indication of what a dictatorship we the people live under already.

    Thanks to bad education and immigration, America is no longer America. The Dems dominate everything, the GOP does not have a clue how to counter the forming dictatorship, their day is done. Racism is the greatest con job in history. The nation’s prime directive, security, is a joke. You cannot guard your border, you cannot control crime in your cities, you cannot control the influence of hate groups and rioting show the inadequacy of the Feds. This country is a joke.

    The real question for the few Reds that seem to exist is what to do next. Without Trump, the Right has collapsed. Fox tries to present what is left of the Red cause, mostly ineffectually.

    Want to know what Georgia is really about? It is the entire Blue movement trying to use every resource to crush opposing viewpoints. Crush them, let them know that any opposition to the Uniparty dictatorship coming will be dealt with harshly. Sending the All star game from a teetering Red state to a totally Blue state is a very obvious ploy.

    So far, they are running pretty much unopposed. I do not think that very much opposition to the takeover really exists. Lemmings, forward March!!

    • Tekapo April 7, 2021 at 6:05 pm #

      Here is the central question. Why are the Dems against ID voter laws?

      Democrats are against voter ID laws for the same reason they are very cautious about electoral rolls. Both have been used since the Civil War to suppress voting – women couldn’t vote, negroes couldn’t vote, a whole range of other minorities were barred from voting.

      A whole range of ridiculous rules and regs were imposed to stop “unfriendly” voters.

      Even in the 2020 election, some Republican states disallowed a range of IDs because they thought it might help them electorally.

      And that is the central issue – none of the voting law frenzy going on is about preventing fraud … it’s all about getting fewer people to vote Democrat. So rather than having policies that might attract more voters, the GOP sticks to their whole big-business / fuck-worker policies and try to stop people voting against them.

      It’s cynical, open, and brazen … and it drives them crazy that big business calls them out – MLB, Coke, Delta … absolutely crazy since they are so accustomed to having business in their pocket.

      Same reason Trump went crazy over NFL owners accepting that players could take a knee … for people like Trump and McConnell, they see it as an act of treason by the white-shoe brigade. LOL.

      My dislike of voter ID are (a) it doesn’t reduce fraud because voter ID fraud barely exists, and (b) it is crude and Third World-y or Commie (“Show us your papers!”) – it demeans citizens. ‘It’s a solution for which there is no problem.

      • hmuller April 9, 2021 at 12:34 am #

        Wow, no mention in all that rhetoric about how it was southern DEMOCRATS who kept blacks from voting up until about 1964. And northern Democrats like FDR allowed it to happen. Go flog yourself!

        Voter ID demeans people, but showing ID in 100 other everyday situations does not?!

        Want to pick up baseball tickets at the gate, you have to show ID. Shame on Major League Baseball!

        And when they require vaccination papers to go anywhere and do anything in America, will you say that’s wrong, Tekapo? Will you oppose the deep state, globalist, MSM narrative? Or will you carry on like a pork chop?

    • Tekapo April 7, 2021 at 6:24 pm #

      Sending the All star game from a teetering Red state to a totally Blue state is a very obvious ploy.

      I don’t think the Democrats moved the All Star Game – MLB did for its own strategic and marketing reasons. Coke and Delta didn’t get a sudden attack of the Wokes – they are looking where their bread’s buttered, and protecting their social licence to operate.

      Mitch McConnell was furious – not because big business got involved in politics, but because they criticised Republicans! He doesn’t get it – a lot of people dislike the Georgia voter-suppression moves.

      You called it right – that is “an absolute crock of crap.”

      John, you think and speak clearly about the issues around the COVID situation, yet you still have this huge political blindspot…”the Dems”, “wokeness” and “Uniparty dictatorship”, “serfdom”, “the Blue movement trying to […]crush opposing viewpoints”…

      Reading posts such as this is like watching that shameless liar Tucker Carlson spewing his toxic bullshit.

      Georgia went ‘Red’ from 2002 on (previously a strong Blue state). The GOP holds strong majorities in both State Senate & Assembly houses, so why all these new regulations if not only as a bitter reaction to the 2020 Federal Senate election results? Sore losers?

    • Tekapo April 7, 2021 at 10:47 pm #

      Thanks to bad education and immigration, America is no longer America. The Dems dominate everything, the GOP does not have a clue how to counter the forming dictatorship, their day is done.

      We’ve been here before; the Democratic Party is far from dominating everything:

      ? a Republican super-majority on the US Supreme Court
      ? large Republican majority on district and state courts
      ? appointments “managed” by the Federalist Society
      ? an intelligence community that has always leaned right
      ? state legislation “managed” by Koch Brothers (ALEC)
      ? about 35 states are under Republican control
      ? most media (press, TV, Radio) are in conservative hands

      and so on. Plus the Presidency was a pretty close race, the Senate is a voting tie, and the House majority is very skinny – and might not survive the Midterms.

      The Republican Party is far from powerless, and if they wish to win more elections they need policies that resonate with ordinary people – huge tax cuts for billionaires and attacks on the welfare net do not.

    Two Yemeni Men Arrested by Border Patrol Identified on the FBI’s Terrorism Watch List,” the title of the CBP press release read. By Tuesday morning, though, the release had been removed from the CBP website and has not been republished.

    A link to the original press release shows up as an “Access Denied” page with a note stating “You are not authorized to access this page.”

    A CBP spokesperson told Breitbart News in a statement:

    The news release in question was not properly reviewed and contained certain disclosure and policy information related to national security that required CBP to remove it from our website.

    As Breitbart News reported, the CBP report revealed that on March 30, Border Patrol agents in southern California apprehended a 26-year-old illegal alien from Yemen. When they ran checks on his background, they found he is listed on the FBI’s Terrorism Watch List and the No-Fly List.

    Months before — just eight days after President Joe Biden took office — on January 29, a 33-year-old illegal alien from Yemen was apprehended in southern California by Border Patrol agents. A background check found he is listed on the FBI’s Terrorism Watch List and the No-Fly List.

    Both are in federal custody, according to the CBP report.

    On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki attempted to downplay the national security threat of illegal immigration at the southern border.

    “First let me convey that these sets of incidents are very uncommon,” Psaki said when asked about the two illegal aliens from Yemen who were apprehended. “… while this is rare, this is a reflection of [Border Patrol] doing their job.”

    Those on the FBI’s Terrorism Watch List and No-Fly List seeking to cross illegally into the U.S. are not isolated incidents, as reports over the years have confirmed. From October 2020 to the beginning of March, for example, congressional aides have said there have been at least four separate Border Patrol encounters with illegal aliens on the FBI’s Terrorism Watch List.

    Arkansas PERMANENTLY axes mask mandates: https://www.westernjournal.com/arkansas-senate-passes-emergency-clause-immediately-permanently-end-mask-mandates/

    I am guessing they are seeing all the people leaving blue states in droves because of the totalitarian measures, and are hoping people may come their way?

        Hmmm. Seems to be a wide net. Everywhere from SF, LA and the inland empire; Modesto, was one I met the other day (elderly gentleman who grew up on a ranch).

        • Tekapo April 7, 2021 at 2:45 pm #

          I would definitely prefer Boise to Modesto.

          The Californian Central Valley is hugely impressive if you like to observe agriculture on an industrial scale, but its towns are not that enticing … Turlock, Modesto, Fresno, and Bakersfield.

          Bakersfield is mildly interesting because it has an active Basque community, and Basque restaurants.

          Ketchum Idaho is a neat town – with a great thrift store. Coeur d’Alene and Sandpoint were good too.

            Modesto high crime rate and lots of gangs the entire central valley is polluted with industrial farm waste forget well water its toxic as fuck.
            Drove through it enough on my way from Santa Clarita to San Jose and then later in life when my daughter and her husband moved to Le Moore. Taxes in Idaho are also more in line with living a decent life instead of paying for every shirt bird that shows up with their collective hand out for freebees.
            Houses are cheap in the cetnral valley compared to the coastal centers but life is pretty boring.
            Boise is the liberal bastion in Idaho.

            The ‘middle community’ in that area (not city, not farm, not really suburb) along CA-99 north of Visalia has a very large Indian component. Many of the adverts along the hwy are thusly targeted. Even 10 years ago, when wife and I went to see a concert in Marysville (between Sac’to and Chico), most businesses in town were owned/staffed by Indian (or other central Asia?) people. Much of the area has been switched over to growing rice; lots of migrant birds everywhere hanging around in the rice fields.

          • MaryV April 7, 2021 at 5:43 pm #

            Yes that is a horribly shitty area. I have a friend in Vacaville, and that at least has some pretty areas, and a cute down town. But I wouldn’t want to live there.

            Boise, unfortunately, has a LibDem WOkie as mayor, and the libs from CA are trying to make it CA 2.0.

            Sad – because they will ruin this state just as they have CA.

            The blue scourge is going to destroy any great part of this country, because their greed is so out of control and they operate like the mafia. And I will include a lot of Repubs in that groups.

            What do you need – the pictures to prove it? Tekapo’s Terrific Trip to Tahoe!

      Unfortunately, Blue state totalitarianism is working in the Blue country which is growing. The Blues smell a victory in Georgia turning it permanently Blue and are throwing everything, including the kitchen sink, into the battle to change it. The majority of people in the US no longer believe in the Constitution, only in their own gimme selves. The Democratic Party has encouraged the growth of this majority with its policies for fifty years. The cowardly GOP presidents have done nothing to stem the tide, both Bushes.

      Those who believe in individual over collective are screwed in this country. Once the Deep State in entrenched as a Uniparty in DC you are going to see a suppression of states’ rights throughout America. The southern border is one such drive for power as well as the Georgia folks trying to legitimize their electoral results.

      Right now, IMHO, the Libs are winning and winning big. Those of us who have been waiting for a Red response will be disappointed.

      The only real solution is division. There is no way in hell that this country will ever be United again, so why pretend.

      • MaryV April 7, 2021 at 4:16 pm #

        I have to agree… the divisiveness was orchestrated and I don’t see people breaking out of the positions we’ve been manipulated into. I have never had much of a thought that the Republicans will rise up and somehow defeat the liberal scourge. We’re toast!

        • Night Owl April 7, 2021 at 4:50 pm #

          I agree. Trump was outside though, nothing else explains the absolute committment of all corporate entities (with media) and corrupt state organs working hand-in-glove to stop him at every turn.

          He was the last real hurdle for the system to overcome, at the political level, at least. The only resistance now is the people.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 7, 2021 at 5:21 pm #

            Interesting. I’m not sure that Big Tech preventing POTUS from communicating with the American people was not a co-ordinated flexing of muscle. Big Tech trumped the Executive Branch. That neither proves nor disproves The Donald’s role in it all.

            Why did he bring everyone into DC Jan 6? The people who believed in him now fear for their lives, beaten by prison guards. I kept waiting for Trump to play the trump card and have Pelosi frog-marched to prison where she belongs … but … … and a fund-raising scam.

          • MaryV April 7, 2021 at 5:40 pm #

            I’m not convinced he wasn’t controlled opposition, and all that malice toward him pure theater, in order to keep TDS alive, so that they could get away with the COVID19 plan and the rigged election, without much pushback.

            If he had sent even one of that cabal to jail, then I might be convinced otherwise. I’m pretty sure that these people in charge now – the Obama/Clinton gang – wanted DT gone he’d be dead meat on a stick by now.

            But I don’t know – that’s just what has occurred to me.

          • Night Owl April 7, 2021 at 5:41 pm #

            I think he got duped, TBH. But I can’t hold it against him. I cannot imagine what it would be like to try and govern in such an environment. That he lasted 4 years is a testament to his intelligence, experience, and understanding of human nature.

            When you consider what he was up against it makes sense. The media coverage alone said it all. When have you ever seen wall-to-wall fake news on a nearly 24-hr. basis?

            What we witnessed from the McMedia, most of the largest corporate entities, and state organs was unprecidented. Particularly when they could not pin one single “crime” on him. The resources and personnel funneled into stopping Trump at every turn was truly incredible.

            Yet, they failed every time. Because he was clean. It is the only answer. Where they did not fail was simply using fraud to ensure they never had to try again.

            I have yet to see any evidence that he was part of the scheme. The resources invested in ousting him said it all. It was truly unprecedented.

          • MaryV April 7, 2021 at 5:50 pm #

            I guess for me, having realized what sort of theater these people are capable of (hell, look at 9/11), and the ‘red v blue’ act that’s gone on for 40, 50 years… why not just push it up a tad, especially if it got you everything you want even quicker?

            There is a chap on FB that I follow, and he claims that an intel agency insider told him in 2013 everything that has unfolded so far, including Trump’s term in office and Covid19. I found that pretty amazing. He claims that they have all of this plotted out years in advance.

            I have to take all that into consideration when I think about ever trusting anyone in power. Not to mention, Trump is in plenty of pics partying with Epstein – yet Qanon nor anyone else ever called Trump out on that. Only others like the Clintons who also kept his company. And Trump has paid off women who accused him of sexual assault. If we are going to criticize Dems/libs for that stuff, we should hold Trump to the same standard.

            M.V., I think you are right. Look at the gains of the anti-American “left” during the Trump “admin”. Much more progress than the 8 years of Obama.

            Someone – I think it might have been Michael Hudson – wrote sometime in the past several years, and I paraphrase: “The greatest gains of the left are made under Republican administrations, and those of the right under Democrats.”

            Every time something good for the masses falls by the wayside: “We’d have made so much progress – if it hadn’t been for those assholes!”

            Are you for real? You follow a guy on Facebook (very high level of confidence in THAT, I’m sure) and because you give this guy’s claims some level of credence, you “have to take all that into consideration” when blah, blah, blah…

    Political prisoners being tortured by Black guards. As well isolation, deprivation of necessities, etc. Maybe the isolation is the price of keeping them safe from the Black prisoners.

    CFN,

    I’m interested. Do you have thoughts to share about gold/silver? Bitcoin?

    Thank you.

    • JohnAZ April 7, 2021 at 3:18 pm #

      If collapse occurs, skills will count, not any form of “wealth”.

      What happens to Bitcoin when China has had enough and shuts down our grid?

      Can you eat silver and gold?

      When money goes, so goes our consumer economy.

      That IS scary. The preppers all set up to preserve life for a month or two, then what?

      True preppers know that they will have to protect themselves from the urban hordes that will go on attack. They will relocate to rural areas where community will provide security against the gimmes streaming out of the cities.

      This may be the format of CW2.

      • O.G. Hawkins April 7, 2021 at 3:38 pm #

        Interesting. I don’t see the collapse playing out quite the same as you. You are thinking more anarchy while I think Totalitarianism.

        If you are rural, secluded and mind your Ps & Qs, they might leave you alone. I don’t think you need worry about roving bands of hungry city-people. Cities will be locked-down into concentration camp ghettos. Exit & Entry will be on an as-needed basis.

        I think that your concern will be to convince them to allow you to stay. A local official may find your property ideal for his mandate. You may have it comandeered, comrade, and you will be re-located to an apartment in Indianapolis or Dallas/Fort Worth or, God forbid, LA.

        • Night Owl April 7, 2021 at 4:47 pm #

          I agree OG. It is simply going to be herds of powerless individuals doing as they are told.

          If they get the vaccine passports through, it is over. This is the thing they are pushing hardest for, as it will pave the way to mandate the medical tyranny and create a two-tiered system.

          They are already warming the populace for shutting people out of access to essential services. Right before Easter Merkel did a head fake here in Germany, nearly closing all supermarkets prior to Easter. At the last second she reversed course. The shutdowns are coming. It was nothing less than pre-conditioning, as with every other episode from masks to temp. shutdowns, to vaccines.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 7, 2021 at 4:57 pm #

            I agree, Night Owl. Pre-conditioning and at an ever-accelerating rate.

            VaxPass has gone from an academic Orwellian warning to inevitable & IBM contracts in mere weeks.

            This is a global play to end Freedom forever.

          • MaryV April 7, 2021 at 5:37 pm #

            Very succinctly said. When they ‘scare’ us with the threat of the vaxx passes etc. they are testing the waters, and they plan to actually do it. I was happy to see some states end their mask mandates, and opt out of forcing vaxpasses, but something tells me that with the type of hypno-engineering of the masses they are doing now, they will give us false hope only to pull it back later. That is why I don’t trust any governors, not even DeSantis. All he has to do is engineer some fake death stats and reverse course.

          • Yohannon April 7, 2021 at 5:45 pm #

            Yes, even if they let other people keep functioning with twice a week testing, they will ratchet up the “treatment” (penalty) for a positive, effectively destroying the person’s life with at home quarantines.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 7, 2021 at 8:41 pm #

            And the testing is part of the submission. And the testing is invasive with injuries. And I read (don’t know if it’s True) that the testing sticks are “sanitized” with a cancer-causing agent.

            God help us!

            My goodness – more than the usual dollop of Doom & Gloom this week. The main problem with all the apocalyptic conjecture is that everything has a pretty simple explanation.

            I would continue paying the mortgage, and heading off to work like the responsible member of a functioning society … the world ain’t going to end any time soon.

            The Dow is over 33,400, and it’s almost Happy Motoring Season! Baseball is back. What is not to love about this very peak of human existence in the 2021 world?

            But pay down all your debt, dump risky investment, and have a Plan B of sorts (I’m looking at sharing with MaryV out in Boise).

            And be prepared for a lowering of your standard of living if you’re young enough. Wear a mask and get the vaccine – it won’t kill you. Neither will Bill Gates.

            Anyone else think that Tekapo is one of those lame deep state paid idots that plague all other social media? I don’t know why they think this sort is effective. If anything, it just makes me more sure that they are all bluster and their plans are tanking.

            Unless caged, Blackbird. I believe that cities will get locked down and Big Ag will run rural with even sparser population than now.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 7, 2021 at 7:34 pm #

            @Blackbird, Biden & BLM will do as they are told.

            You might be Right … They might let complete anarchy loose for a year or 2. As you say, rutal America is loaded for bear so city mobs invading red rural could be Civil War II: Balkanization.

            I doubt that, though. I believe that Bill Gates has bought all that farmland because the rabble will be contained and Big Ag will produce all the food for the containment camps with its infrastructure untouched.

            We shall see.

          • cbeard April 8, 2021 at 12:25 pm #

            For O.G., I don’t know who you think will be capable of locking down the cities in the event of a real SHTF situation. Desparate people will be dangerous and hard for anyone to control. Smaller more rural communities may fare better for a while, depending on the racial makeup of said communities.

        • ThorsHammer April 7, 2021 at 11:45 pm #

          I agree O.G., Totalitarianism is the form of Order the Malignant Overlords are preparing their flocks for. However locking cities down into concentration camps would prove impossible. Modern cities are as structurally dysfunctional as flying pigs. Halt the continual flow of trucks bringing in food, beer, and the other necessities of life for 48 hours and the apartment denizens will emerge, gun and knife in hand, looking for something to eat or a bottle of water to quench their thirst.

          Fly your antique Cessna anywhere near New York with an air burst EMP weapon strapped in the back seat and it can single-handedly and permanently render every modern vehicle, cash register, bank, electronic deposit of paper dollars or gold, hi-rise elevator, and mass transit system disabled without the possibility of repair. Along with the entire city of New York and it’s human support system.

          And that is how totalitarianism ends in chaos.

      Gold: $1,741.13 at the moment. Shit Hits the Fan: “I’m sorry Mr. Hawkins, but I don’t have $1,739 in change to give you for that loaf of bread.”

      Alchemists of the near future will be turning gold into lead.

      • O.G. Hawkins April 7, 2021 at 7:48 pm #

        Gold has been the store of wealth globally for all of recorded history except this 50-year Petro-Dollar rigged racket.

        Of course, when the shit hits the fan, all bets are off. There is no shortage of people, though. If your offer is a loaf of bread for an oz. of gold, I will move on in attempts at a Better deal.

        Rather, I believe that powerful local warlords will be converting their lead into snarfing other people’s gold. That is, I’ve no doubt gold will be valuable to own post shit/fan. Rather, like all preps, it is going to be very challenging to keep.

        Note: It’s hypothetical to me. I prepped for Y2K but have since lost eveything to nightmare divorce with criminal lawyers.

      This is a true measure of how much the Liberal culture is willing to destroy the rule by law, the trial by jury.

      I anticipate death threats against the judge, the jurists and the lawyers. If they do not convict for murder, the country is going to go nuts.

      Until the PTB start shooting these assholes, this is just going to accelerate more and more.

      Remember Chamberlain in Britain accommodating Hitler, the spineless liberal governments are just the same. WW2 arose from Chamberlain’s idiocy and cowardice, what will arise from the idiots in this country.

        Until the PTB start shooting these assholes, this is just going to accelerate more and more.

        I don’t believe the state ever has the right to kill its own citizens. But a massive show of determined non-lethal force would seem to be necessary. Lots of tools and techniques available.

        And if the politics are too hard (for a police chief, mayor, or governor) then resign and let someone else do it.

        • JohnAZ April 8, 2021 at 11:42 am #

          Wow, you are right.

          Shooting these turkeys with rubber bullets, stuffing tear gas up their ass, using batons, to stop these “protests” would be very appropriate.

          History shows when governments lose control of the security of their own land, they do not last long.

          These anarchists know this!!! That is why it will continue until it is forcibly stopped.

          By the way, the financing for all of this disorder comes from outside the country.

          That is a fact. Why can’t we just destroy Soros?

      • JohnAZ April 7, 2021 at 8:35 pm #

        Here is the deal. This element of the Blacks in America has been long groomed by our Liberal governments. They are the ultimate gimme artists. They are fatherless, have no morals per se, and they are trained from youth not how to get ahead in the American economy, but how to milk it for everything they can get. They are uneducated, unable to compete in the White world. They form into gangs in self defense.

        So are we surprised when they drop out and feel they are owed a life by the government. When they do not get their flat screens and nikes, they gang up and go take them.

        The acceptance by this by the Common Culture is a disaster. Soros and his AGs are going to cook this country good. The cities are going to destroy us.

      • JohnAZ April 7, 2021 at 10:26 pm #

        What has changed though? I have asked this question a zillion times.

        What has given the Blacks the cajones to think they will be in charge of this country. Why have the White PTB starting kowtowing to the Blacks? The Blacks do not seem to be able to compete with the rest of the ethnic groups in the US so they want to take everything by force. They hate anyone that can best them in American society, which is just about everyone. They even hate their own Uncle Toms, Blacks that have competed and won.

        The top of the economic pile is the Asians. That is why the Blacks are starting to try to intimidate them. Whites second, old story. Even the influx coming from Latin America is starting to compete well against the Blacks. Hence the continuous whining and affirmative action from the Liberals trying to farm the Black vote.

            Only to be called tinfoil hat by 2 roving Lib/Dems stuck in IDPol, who are continually banned (I assume for abusing others?). If I responded to every post I disagreed with by calling them crazy, I’m guessing perhaps people wouldn’t be engaging me in discussion as they do. But I don’t do that. So they do.

      • GreenAlba April 8, 2021 at 7:45 am #

        OG

        Just to be clear, I didn’t mean to comment specifically on SaskHealth’s policy, but to make a point regarding why a whole variety of health authorities had made decisions based on caution (yes, I know …) regarding various age groups. Different authorities have made different assessments, based on the data at their disposal, and I don’t at all discount that some decisions are affected by the investment of having millions of doses already.

        So I’m not saying they (SaskHealth in particular) entirely know what they’re doing, but I do agree, where it has been implemented, with the policy that the lower the risk of the disease, the less risk one should tolerate from the vaccination policy. For older people in general, the risk is still many times greater from the disease.

        And I agree with Slugoon further down, that people of 30 and younger shouldn’t be being encouraged to get the vaccination in the first place, since their risk is almost non-existent. If they want it, they can ask for it.

        The price, of course, is that the disease will circulate more – and mutate more, in a partially vaccinated population, but we’d just have to live with that.

        • GreenAlba April 8, 2021 at 7:51 am #

          Actually I’d go with people under 50 not being specifically offered appointments. If they want the vaxx they should be left to ask for it.

          But I remain grateful to have had it, and I have no personal qualms about getting a second dose of AZ (although in future I’d be happy to consider other vaccines, especially following the information kindly – and politely – provided by ‘michael’). I’m statistically way more likely to be knocked down crossing the road than to suffer any ill effects from it.

        • O.G. Hawkins April 8, 2021 at 12:20 pm #

          GA, Yes, I understand.

          My point remains, however. There is no possible science data that says these obvious curves are a camel hump where people under 55 shouldn’t take it and people over 60 shouldn’t take it but people in that sweet spot (56-59) should take it. That is not scientifically possible. That’s inventory management with my health. Obviously.

      Given debt costs nothing, that would seem to be a huge premium. I assume the risks of default / non-repayment must justify such a hefty interest rate.

      I remain puzzled that anyone would carry a dollar of credit-card debt – pay the lot off every month on a no-fee card … that’s my pro tip for the day!

    Have you seen the show on Hemingway on PBS? Last episode of three on tonight. So far, nothing woke about it.

    Great photos and film clips, like the 20 mile caravan of Greek refugees fleeing the Turks in 1922.

    He’s in Paris, Spain, Key West, London and Cuba. His women, his booze, his writing. Great stuff.

      Yes I’ve been watching, TS.

      I thought Burns might do a hatchet job on Hemingway, but no, it’s been an honest, respectful presentation. (Warts and all)

      I had never been too interested in Hemingway; African safaris, expat life in Europe, bullfighting, trophy fishing, it all seemed pretty esoteric and far removed from my own American centered life … the one novel I liked the best was To Have and Have Not, which featured Key West, and at least I knew where Key West was. I don’t know where San Remo is. When Steinbeck wrote about Okies, well I’ve been thru Oklahoma, I can relate a little bit. Then a few things happened. The first was I got to know an old guy in town named Al Hemingway, when I asked if he was related to the author he said yes, a cousin, told me the whole family was from 2 towns over, Plymouth, Ct, that Ernests great grand father was a sales engineer with a clock company who moved to Chicago to open a store and repair facility, taking his son Anson – and Ernests grandfather – with him. I visited the S Plymouth Congregational cemetery and sure enough it was filled up with Hemingways and Edward’s (another branch of the family) So there was the local connection. (Remarkably there is no record of mental illness or suicide with these Ct Hemingways) Next thing was I married my wife, whos uncles and father fought in the Spanish Civil War on both sides — and believe me grudges were held to their dying days. After that I read For Whom the Bell Tolls, altho I thought Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia was a better book about the war.

      Since then I’ve read most of his novels and short stories, and about a dozen biographies, which continue to appear. It’s interesting that most of Hemingways contemporaries — Louis Bromfield, Dos Passos, Glenway Wescott, Robert MacAlmond, Chard Powers Smith — once popular and even iconic authors are forgotten, but Hemingway lives on.

      • tucsonspur April 8, 2021 at 2:54 am #

        Very interesting. If I’m remembering ‘FWTBT” correctly, I’ll have to agree about Orwell’s ‘Homage’, since I can’t recall much political depth in the former. Just looked up “Homage’ and it seems to probe deeply into the rival factions. Looks like a buy.

        Well, it’s finished, and thankfully there was nothing woke about it.

    What is the modern Republican Party? It sure ain’t what it started out as. The current GOP seems intent on letting the place collapse whereas, in contrast, it was the GOP that led development and investment which took the USA to its position as global superpower, right through to 1960, the end of Eisenhower’s administration.

    Look at all this SOCIALISM, JohnAZ!

    A historical summary from H C Richardson:

    “Republican Party roots lie in the immediate aftermath of the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in spring 1854 when it became clear that elite southern slaveholders had taken control of the federal government and were using their power to spread their system of human enslavement across the continent.

    At first, members of the new party knew only what they stood against: an economic system that concentrated wealth upward and made it impossible for ordinary men to prosper. But in 1859, their new spokesman, Illinois lawyer Abraham Lincoln, articulated a new vision of government. Rather than using government power solely to protect the property of wealthy slaveholders, Lincoln argued, the government should work to make it possible for all men to get equal access to resources, including education, so they could rise to economic security.

    As a younger man, Lincoln had watched his town of New Salem die because the settlers in the town did not have the resources to dredge the Sangamon River to increase their river trade. Had the government simply been willing to invest in the economic development that was too much for the willing workers of New Salem, it could have brought prosperity to the men who, for lack of investment, failed and abandoned their town. The government, Lincoln thought, must develop the country’s infrastructure.

    Once in power, the Republicans did precisely that. After imposing the first national taxes, including an income tax, lawmakers set out to enable men to be able to pay those taxes by using the government to give ordinary men access to resources. In 1862, they passed the Homestead Act, giving western land to anyone willing to settle it; the Land-Grant College Act, providing funds to establish state universities; the act establishing the Department of Agriculture, to provide scientific information and good seeds to farmers; and the Pacific Railway Act, providing for the construction of a railroad across the continent to get men to the fields and the mines of the West.

    In 1902, Republicans fascinated with infrastructure projects joined forces with southern Democrats desperate for flood control to pass the Newlands Reclamation Act. Under the act, the federal government built more than 600 dams in 20 western states to bring water to farmland. “The sound and steady development of the West depends upon the building up of homes therein,” President Theodore Roosevelt wrote. Water from the western dams now irrigates more than 10 million acres, which produce about 60% of the nation’s vegetables and 25% of its fruits (and nuts).

    Democratic President Franklin Delano Roosevelt combined this focus on infrastructure development with the need for work relief programs during the Depression to create the 1933 Civilian Conservation Corps, which planted trees, built fire towers, built trails, stocked fish, and so on. In 1935, Congress created the Works Progress Administration.

    During its existence, it employed about 3 million workers at a time; built or repaired more than 100,000 public buildings, including schools and post offices; and constructed more than 500 airports, more than 500,000 miles of roads, and more than 100,000 bridges. It also employed actors, photographers, painters, and writers to conduct interviews, paint murals of our history, and tell our national story.

    As the country grew and became more interconnected, pressure built for a developed road system, but while FDR liked the idea of the jobs it would produce, building the road fell to Republican President Dwight Eisenhower. Three years after he became president, Eisenhower backed the 1956 Federal-Aid Highway Act, saying, “Our unity as a nation is sustained by free communication of thought and by easy transportation of people and goods.” The law initially provided $25 billion for the construction of 41,000 miles of road; at the time, it was the largest public works project in U.S. history.

    […]

    The vaccines have dovetailed with the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan from last month and the spring weather to speed up the economic recovery. Economists had expected a job gain of about 660,000 in March, but nonfarm payrolls actually rose by about 916,000. And now Biden has rolled out a dramatic new infrastructure proposal, the $2 trillion American Jobs Plan.

    […]

    In this moment, Republican lawmakers seem weirdly out of step with their party’s history as well as with the country. They are responding to the American Jobs Plan by defining infrastructure as roads and bridges alone, cutting from the definition even the broadband that they included when Trump was president. (Trump, remember, following his huge 2017 tax cuts with the promise of a big infrastructure bill. As he said, “Infrastructure is the easiest of all…. People want it, Republicans and Democrats.”) Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) warns that Biden’s plan is a “Trojan horse” that will require “massive tax increases.”

    Biden has indeed proposed funding the Democrats’ infrastructure plan by raising taxes on corporations from their current rate of 21% to 28% (but before Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, that rate was 35%). It ends federal tax breaks for oil and gas companies, and it increases the global minimum tax—a tax designed to keep corporations from shifting their profits to low tax countries– from 13% to 21%.

    This is in keeping with our history. Americans since Lincoln have proudly used tax dollars to develop the country. During Eisenhower’s era, the corporate tax rate was 52% (and the top income tax bracket was 91%). The Newlands Act was designed to raise money through public land sales, but in 1928, when Congress authorized what would become Hoover Dam, the Bureau of Reclamation began to operate out of the government’s general funds.

    But it was Lincoln’s Republicans who first provided the justification for investing in the nation. In the midst of the deadly Civil War, as the United States was hemorrhaging both blood and money, Republican lawmakers defended first their invention of national taxes. The government had a right to “demand” 99% of a man’s property for an urgent need, said House Ways and Means Committee Chair Justin Smith Morrill (R-VT). When the nation required it, he said, “the property of the people… belongs to the [g]overnment.”

    The Republicans also defended developing the country. In a debate over the new Department of Agriculture, Chair of the Senate Finance Committee William Pitt Fessenden (R-ME), famous both for his crabbiness and for his single-minded focus on the war, defended the use of “seed money.” With such an investment, he said, the country would be “richly paid over and over again in absolute increase of wealth. There is no doubt of that.” “

    • BackRowHeckler April 7, 2021 at 9:36 pm #

      Sleepy Joe or whoever is running the show in DC has special plans for gas and oil. What can we expect? Are brown outs and black outs on the near horizon like in Cal last year, and Texas this year? Will our electric bills be higher, or lower? How much will a gallon of #2 heating oil — which New England uses to keep from freezing to death in winter — cost next winter? Why is gasoline up $1 per gallon since Biden assumed the presidency?

      It seems like the plan is to choke off the energy supply, at the same time f##k around with the national grid. These megalomaniacs come across like they got it all figured out.

        • BackRowHeckler April 7, 2021 at 11:58 pm #

          Well now, Biden has spoken to Zelensky and pledged US support if war breaks out between Ukraine and Russia, and it does indeed appear that a shooting war will break out, and very soon. Ukraine is eager for a fight, and Russian armor on the border are no shrinking violets believe me. It’s not for nothing Yale historian Tim Snyder called this area on the frontier between Germany and Russia the Bloodlands. Nobody knows whether or not Biden promised to commit NATO troops once hostilities commence. Democrats have had it in for Russia since they cooked up the Russian Collusion hoax in the 2016 elections, so it’s a distinct possibility. That didn’t take long, what, not even 3 months?

          • Redneck Liberal April 8, 2021 at 1:21 am #

            That’s a curious response to what was, essentially, an examination of the GOP vis-a-vis infrastructure investment. See what I mean about everything being a conspiracy to some people?

    ‘Mr Kunstler puts forth the idea that “Something else has awakened in this land: a recognition that we are in serious trouble, that our adversaries are having their way with us as we act stupidly, that we have become our own worst enemies, that being insane is not a virtue,”

    I am not sure he is correct but even if he is – and I hope he is – the people sentient enough to make the realizations he suggests are not motivated in the same manner as those obscenely wealthy communists in the Vineyard.

    The Vineyard communists are on a mission and until and unless the sentient beings who love liberty can match the zeal and fervency of those communists we as a nation will continue our downward trajectory.

        Here in the UK the family of perfectly healthy 59-year-old, who died from a blood clot caused by the vaccine, is now doing media rounds singing the virtues of the vaccine imploring that everyone should have it.

        This is why it is abhorrent to force, or coerce people into getting a shot with no recourse to the law or indemnity for death or injury. It is happening to many people, perfectly healthy ones.

        It’s some perverse version of Stockholm Syndrome, its widespread and its incurable. Never in my life did I think that an entire population could suffer from such cognitive dissonance and cowardice but here we are.

        Now they’re thinking of ‘alternatives’ they can give to under-30s to avoid the blood clots. Why does this group need alternative anything? How about just not injecting them? Nobody is even asking this question, or if they are they are being silenced.

        Control HAS to be the endgame here. There is no other explanation for what is happening but even sadder is the eagerness of everyone to comply and go along with it.

            I read about an insane sport or pass time called “Wing Walking”. Much as it sounds. The poor fellow had lost his father, brother, and fiance to this madness. Yet he was going to keep on with it. He had to. To stop would be to dishonor those whom he had loved. Talk about life getting smaller and smaller – just like the pot of the gambler who won’t quite while he’s ahead.

            Mark Twain: It’s harder to make someone admit that they’ve been fooled than it is to fool them.

            People sell themselves. The wily salesman knows you just have to get your foot in the mental door. The antidote is humility, the ability to admit that you could be fooled or that you have.

      Ah yes, the winged monkey warriors were one of the Wicked Witch of the West’s most potent weapons. But. Do I recall correctly that you questioned Glinda’s goodness at one point in time :-)? I believe it had something to do with a touch of sympathy for the Wicked Witch of the East’s fate. Being smushed under Dorothy’s house and all. She tortured those poor Munchkins. And what did such a happy and hospitable little people ever do to deserve such a cruel fate? And did not the Wicked Witch of the West imprison the free, carefree monkeys and transform them with dark magic into those flying monstrosities you so feared? Forgive me. But it seemed therefore most compassionate that Glinda celebrated the death of the Wicked Witch of the East with the Munchkins and giggled at her sister and indeed told her basically to get lost are a house would fall on her and smush her too. It was too late anyway you see. The red slippers chose Dorothy. And bad witches are ugly too.

      • Yohannon April 8, 2021 at 12:35 pm #

        Fine points. Think about becoming a Lawyer. Your defense of Glinda is good, but a house didn’t just fall on the Wicked Witch of the East, Glinda dropped it on her. And threatened to do the same with the WWW.

        The red slippers chose Dorothy? Well that’s a winner. I’m visualizing you calling the red slippers to the witness stand. I can see them sitting there. Can they talk?

        Was the WWE smushed or smooshed? And yes, the poor munchkins. As well as the humans of Oz enslaved by her.

        The Moral? Beautiful doesn’t mean good. But ugly doesn’t mean good either. All have fallen short of the Glory of God. Socrates said that his ugliness was from the bad karma of previous lives. But he said that he had overcome the evil. Yet the homeliness remained of course, lightened by a bright countenance and beautiful aura.

    We’re Running Out of Planet
    By Frosty Wooldridge

    As the human mob overwhelms this planet with 7.8 billion on its way to 10.1 billion within 29 years by 2050—more and more “average” Americans speak up with a video, research and social media voice. Last night, I watched a movie: “Cowspiracy” by Kip Anderson and Keegan Kuhn. http://www.Cowspiracy.com

    (The wilderness must be preserved if we are to preserve our sanity, our spirits and our world.) Photography by Frosty Wooldridge
    The movie walloped me upside the head with the facts and figures about how we intend to feed ourselves with less and less water and less and less arable land. The most compelling statement from one of the interviewees, “We can’t keep up with exponential growth; we’re running out of planet to feed ourselves.”
    As I sat watching the 80-minute video, the facts spellbound me into a kind of intellectual despair.

    —–100 billion gallons of water toxically polluted annually by fracking for oil.
    —–34 trillion gallons of water drank by livestock annually.
    —–1,500 gallons of water used every second 24/7 in California.
    —–1 hamburger takes 660 gallons of water to produce it.
    —–Livestock on this planet cause more methane gas pollution than anything else.
    We feed 16 pounds of grain to a steer to add one pound of beef. It takes 2,500 gallons of water to add one pound of beef on a steer. The average cow eats 50 pounds of feed daily.
    Human agriculture grows as the greatest cause of rain forest loss, species extinction and water pollution. A mind-numbing 91 percent of the Amazon forest suffers destruction from raising cattle.
    “The Sierra Club, born to protect the wilderness by visionary John Muir, totally evades and avoids any discussion about population because it would stop contributions. The rest of environmental organizations follow suit. They make people feel good about doing something for the environment, but in reality, they waste their money.” Dr. Will Tuttle, environmentalist
    Cattle create 116,000 pounds of excrement every second 24/7 in the USA. That much waste covers every square foot of 10 major cities around the world. The ground water poisoning grows beyond solving.
    When the video addressed the fisheries, it featured more mind-boggling statistics of fish kills. Humans kill 100,000,000 sharks annually and have been for the past 25 years. Humans slaughter 28 billion marine creatures annually. http://www.oceana.com
    One fisherman scientist said, “When the oceans die, we die.”
    As to GMO’s, they change the DNA and destroy the natural balance of pollinators, bugs and nitrogen fixing bacteria in the soil. GMO’s equate to giving a drowning man a drink of water.
    At the end of the video, one former mega-rancher said, “We won’t make it as a species until we stop animal agriculture.”
    Solutions: Humans need to gracefully reduce their numbers via birth control. Humans need to move toward vegan food consumption. Otherwise, massive human starvation awaits the human race within the 21st century.

      This is what Greta is saying too. This is what Gates of Hell wants as well. All that rises must converge.

      We didn’t have the Wisdom to reign ourselves in gracefully, so now the Globalists or going to do so savagely. And if they fail, Nature will do it – savagely.

      What is wrong with these people? Why are we the Prophets, why are we the ones, who know the sad solution of what must be done?

      Whites aren’t the problem! We could have rebuilt our White ramparts and kept the 3rd World out as Lindbergh said. He was both a man of action and a man of the mind and spirit. Of course he was inclined towards Nazi Germany. Of course! They were putting Eugenics into effect, voluntarily for the most part, with an emphasis on the positive – more Eu or good births. Most of the theory had been developed in America. It was as American as Apple Pie.

      You want an apple pie world, Malthus? Then you want Eugenics. But you rejected that and destroyed those who taught it. So now you have the poison pie of Dysgenics pushed by those that hate you. Did you choose well?

        If they fail ??

        IF ???

        If they were right ,then to oppose them would be nothing but the merest stupidity.

        No , the reason to oppose them is because they are totally full of shit .

        ” Whites aren’t the problem! ”

        The Protocols of the Elders of Zion may have been credible in 1920 ?

        70 – 80 years later, though , it’s pretty conclusive that it was white folks picking up the Bolshevik tab at Stalingrad and Kursk.

        The Jews are rather like the Gay lobby ; anyone who ever set foot in , and spent as much as 20 minutes in , say , a college Gay and Lesbian student union in the 1970’s – 80’s , must know the Gay lobby is a fucking joke.

        It was heterosexuals who sighed off on that shit , and if you have ever had one hours discussion with a Baptist , ( You live in America , but have never encountered a Baptist ??? )

        Then it’s hard to believe that you don’t know the Jews merely jumped aboard the ” Holy Land Crusades Part II ” bandwagon.

        Some respectable numbers of Arabs , Indians , and East Asians were on the National Socialist side .

        And it sure as fuck wasn’t Zulu’s you were fighting at Leningrad or in the Caucasus , and , again , it wasn’t Nigerians buying weapons for the Bolsheviks.

        ” Nature will do it ”

        Let me guess ; another religious – type basically arguing that God taking the matter in hand would be a bad thing ?

        • SoftStarLight April 8, 2021 at 4:14 am #

          Nature has no Mercy. He was given dominion over it. And thus Man molds and shapes Nature to his reason and his science. That has not always worked well. But what people live in totality by the will of Nature? A thatched hut is a relict of culture. It doesn’t just appear in the wild. So be grateful for mercies when they come. For as you can be sure. Such things are exceptions. And the rule is kill or be killed until you no longer draw breath.

        • Yohannon April 8, 2021 at 12:52 pm #

          Can you slow down and stay broad (philosophical)?

          There are too many people in the world.
          Whites are the ones overbreeding, at least not anymore.
          A vast decrease in population is going to happen soon.
          One way or another. So why not go out and meet the enemy?
          Choose how we do it in other words. Be proactive.
          And protect ourselves from the fast breeders – browns and blacks.

          Back in the old days, the Higher IQ people had more kids. Now they don’t even replace themselves. Too busy with careers. So the idiots are increasing – paid to procreate. I know you have trouble with the idea of IQ. But it’s real and it’s largely hereditary. And it is responsible for Civilization and its maintenance.

          Yes, Whites are imperfect. We fight each other just like you people do. So? Does that mean you have some divine moral right to destroy us? Or replace us?

          But thank you. Many men from many nations supported National Socialism. Even some Black Africans. It is the Way. The kind of Christianity that supports Capitalism/Communism is simply Satanism in disguise.

          There are philosophical differences between National Socialism and Christianity. We would need Christ Himself to mediate where one is right and other wrong. By no means do I accept that the Churches represent the whole Mind of Christ. They did some good mediating before the modern era and its subsequent technology and mass immigration. They even gave some decent social teaching about reigning in triumphant Capitalism. But they fell down completely on mass immigration post Vatican Two especially.

          It’s not our fault Africa ha

          • Yohannon April 8, 2021 at 12:56 pm #

            Correction: Whites are NOT the ones overbreeding, at least not anymore.

            We should have left Africa alone. Built a giant Wall around the whole thing. And left China alone. Expansion? Into outer space. Or cities beneath the sea. Or explore the City left by the aliens beneath the ice in Antarctica.

      • SoftStarLight April 8, 2021 at 4:00 am #

        It is your burden. Your cross to bear. Your shoulders have the strength to carry its weight. And so you have been chosen. And so your words should be arrows, your arguments spears, and your directions swords. Who can stand against the one brandishing the blades and fire of Truth and Order? We have not chosen well and are thus gravely chastised. Would that our fate be only our chastisement by the prophets What a glorious day it would be. But rather, such darkness and desolation are made for this Day. And the Day is Evil

        • Yohannon April 8, 2021 at 1:40 pm #

      “Solutions: Humans need to gracefully reduce their numbers…”

      Malthuss,
      I, for one, am in full agreement. As the Italians are wont to say…we should “do the right thing”…we should kill ourselves.

      …you first…trust me, I’ll be right behind ya….

    • Rulo Deschamps April 8, 2021 at 4:25 pm #

      Malthuss, is that the one narrated by Woody Harrelson? I saw it. Facts are facts, sure. In the one I saw, they present the California governor, Newsom I think it is, as the knight in shining armor that’s going to save the day. That’s when I turned it off. So many agendas…

      Elysian, nobody’s talking about killing anyone. But a global consensus on birth control would do more than a thousand global climate change accords. Not going to happen. I didn’t like the documentary, but facts are facts. We are running out of planet.

    Once you agree with her that she’s right? About you? What does she know? Nothing.

    It’s called ‘narcissistic supply’ and it occurs when you buy into a narcissist’s gaslighting, insults, or manipulation (even when it appears friendly).

    Don’t let anyone tell you you’re ‘not humble’ in your opinion or anything else. Seriously? No one should be analyzing your comments or telling you what you ‘really meant’ or try to get you to alter what you say or how you say it.

    Those that do, reveal themselves.

    • GreenAlba April 8, 2021 at 7:26 am #

      So, Mary, what do you call a person who makes 140 comments and refuses to accept anything other than a pat on the back for ALL 140 of them, even though she criticises other people’s comments and insults them hysterically with phrases like ‘you sick mess’? A person who simply will not tolerate being questioned about some supposed ‘facts’ she asserts in two or three of those 140 comments, while all the others are ignored?

      And then projects like there’s no tomorrow.

      • GreenAlba April 8, 2021 at 7:28 am #

        And I think you’ll find, if you look at your own posts, that you spend quite a lot of time describing other people’s thought processes, claiming you know why they think what they do, and presuming to know what they read.

        Priceless, as usual.

    • O.G. Hawkins April 8, 2021 at 4:21 pm #

      @MaryV. I hear ya. But now you’re doing Just that.

      All in Good fun. Plus, @GreenAlba & I will assess whether the Earth is closer or further to The Mark next April. Eyes on the prize.

      • Rulo Deschamps April 8, 2021 at 4:48 pm #

        OG Hawkins, I like your attitude. You’re a welcome addition to this forum.

        GA, Mary, Night Owl, and others engaging in cat and mouse games, teams, “gotcha” and so on: perhaps it’s not worth it. As a previous poster said, most of us come here for the issues, not to be involuntary witnesses of a version of a high school clique conflict. I for one find interesting stuff said by almost every poster here.

        Also, I don’t agree completely with anyone. I agree with this and that somebody wrote, so any alliances would be pointless when I know I’ll disagree with my “ally” at some point. So, then what? I have to be “loyal” and support what he/she said just because at some point I agreed with something else? Ridiculous.

        Laissez faire, laissez passer, seems to me the best attitude when I find a very combative poster with whom I totally disagree. Let’s not make it personal. It would be better to engage rationally when possible, and to let it pass most of the time. Nobody has to comment on everything, y’know. In fact, there’s an element of derangement in somebody who has to say something about every single thing the others say. In the real world, in a normal conversation, you’d raise eyebrows if you’d take the floor at every turn, or worse, keep interrupting to heap opprobrium on your enemy du jour.

        Not enlightened, and not telling anyone what to do – but I appreciate this forum, have been following it for over a decade and only recently started participating, although sometimes it seems to me I’m taking up too much bandwidth and it’s my turn to shut up and listen to others.

        • O.G. Hawkins April 8, 2021 at 5:06 pm #

          Rulo Deschamps, thank you very much for the kind welcome and wise insight. It is Greatly appreciated!

        • Night Owl April 8, 2021 at 5:55 pm #

          If you paid attention to content, you would understand what you refer to as games.

          I simply call a spade a spade.

          Be a pussy. I don’t care.

          • Rulo Deschamps April 8, 2021 at 7:36 pm #

            NOwl, I do pay attention to content – it’s the only thing I pay attention to! Why else do you think I’d be here? I do read what you post, and oftentimes I like it or agree with it. Calling a spade a spade is fine. Engaging in cat and mouse games as to who got whom… different thing. It is my hope to learn something every time I visit this page, and you contribute to it, so don’t get all tied up in knots. No need to call me a pussy, either. I won’t reply in kind because it would be pointless. Alles gut. Just consider that your points would be more powerful without the combative tone. We’re not enemies here, and I mean the whole board, including the cretinous liberals a la Tekapo who only come here to troll. They’re just another voice, and I read good arguments re. why they are wrong, so they serve a purpose, too.

            OG, you’re welcome! I like it that you don’t take yourself too seriously, have a sense of humor, and you’re big enough to recognize someone is a “good egg” despite not agreeing w her. Upthread I said that many of us don’t put a lot of value in statements like “God wills it”… please don’t take it as an attack towards your religious convictions. I sometimes wish I had faith, but I don’t, so only rational arguments and thinking can influence my opinion on the issues. I have great respect for people’s faith and convictions. Cheers!

        • MaryV April 8, 2021 at 7:17 pm #

          I like your comments, but you assume a lot about some people you probably don’t really know.

          • Rulo Deschamps April 8, 2021 at 7:40 pm #

            Mary, I also like a lot of what you say, and I’d say we’re on the same page on a lot of issues. Of course I don’t really know you, or anyone else here, except what they say about themselves, consciously or not!

            I only say, no need to find imaginary enemies and hijack long chunks of the comments fighting them. The enemy is elsewhere. We come here to learn, inform ourselves, read other points of view, not to fight… I hope!

          • MaryV April 8, 2021 at 10:54 pm #

            GA attacked me the past two weeks on other threads, I didn’t seek her out. And she’s managed to craft her goofy “poor me” bullshit afterwards. It’s unfortunate that so many in this society not only welcome and fall for narc tactics, they welcome them and see them as upstanding. Just more evidence of the conditioning.

            I have a lifetime experience with people who use this tactic and I have zero patience for it.

            When I tried to ignore, she followed me around and insulted every comment I made.

            It gets old. And I don’t really give a rat’s ass about your opinion, either. So, maybe stop judging something you know nothing about.

      • MaryV April 8, 2021 at 11:46 pm #

        Actually – you appear to have zero self esteem, and keep apologizing to everyone for your opinion.

        YOu have valid opinions, and are as important a voice as the next person, so I don’t get that.

        Further, the devils you claim to not want to agree with, you are agreeing with, so long as they make a good case for themselves, and belittle you real good.

        You should be able to see them, but – you don’t.

        Good luck with that. Meantime, I enjoy most of your comments. Not the ones in which you grovel to anyone who criticizes you though.

  109. MaryV April 8, 2021 at 2:13 am #

    It seems that it’s a ‘conspiracy’ here on these threads to quote or post the World Economic Forum’s plan for the global technocracy future.

    So I will ask: Is the website, the movement, the organization, agenda, and its dictates, a fake? What is the actual ‘conspiracy theory’ when we link to it? This makes no sense to me.

    It’s possible that policing as we’ve known it will disappear within our lifetimes. That is, a public force, well trained and equipped, paid for with taxpayers’ $, that serves all, rich and poor, to guarantee some version of enforcing the law for all.

    Before the tomatoes start flying in my direction, I add that of course I’m aware of some citizens being more equal than others, pockets of corruption, bad apples, etc. However, most policemen I’ve known are fundamentally decent people, and doing society a great service.

    On the one hand, you have the Wall St Journal displaying full ads for a robotics co. promoting non-human, AI enabled enforcers. Mayors are looking at that, and wondering, if we have to pay $27M to the family of every no-good criminal who happens to die in our custody while OD’ing on something, and that’s even before a trial, maybe the robocops are a good investment. They can’t be racist or biased. Technology always makes everything better, is the mantra of the age. Shite, but most people believe it.

    Then you have a demoralized police force, pelted with rocks, unable to do what they need to do because of politicians and corporations and the media will crucify them.

    Soon, they’ll start the exodus to new privatized security corps, is my bet. Enclaves of the wealthy and the elite will have top notch security, probably a mix of robots, electronic surveillance and rent a cops.

    The rest will slowly descend into lawlessness. You get burglared or attacked, you call the public force… they may or may not show up… if they do, they won’t move unless you bribe them… depending on the amount of the bribe, they may have a word with the perps, but unless you keep the $ coming their way, you’re defenseless again after they leave… sort of a mafia racket. The best will be long gone into safer, better paying jobs w private security.

    That’s how the Third World works, start getting used to it. The security racket will be right up there with the health-care racket in this country, that is… you get what you pay for. If you can’t pay, you get nothing. All this BLM nonsense is just noise. The system, our Babylon, thrives on firing people, making them unnecessary and unwanted, demonizing them, pitting them against each other. The public servants that provide a modicum of security to all are next on the chopping block, to be replaced, automated, outsourced, tossed like a used condom.

    That’s my 2¢ regarding JHK’s good essay.

        When will we learn, slavery of any kind… even of animals or substances (petroleum)… always backfires.

        If you don’t kill your enemies (because you think you can control them, enslave them, make them build your wealth)… you’ll regret it.

        If you think you’ve found a way for your tribe to circumvent natural laws of resource relations and population controls… nope, you haven’t. You’ve fucked up.

        • SoftStarLight April 8, 2021 at 10:34 am #

          Yes. This is essentially verified for instance in the Old Testament for one. But for whatever reason we (Western Civilization) certainly did not heed such ancient and innate wisdom. And now the price will be paid. So the sacrifices will be made. But likely now in a way which will be most reprehensible. But such are the consequences of ignoring Natural Law.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 8, 2021 at 4:33 pm #

        SSL you are talking the most ridiculous oogoo-boogoo ridiculous shit. I suggest you stop digging the hole deeper.

      • Rulo Deschamps April 8, 2021 at 2:38 pm #

        SSL, gustafson, Yoho, interesting thoughts. Just to add my 2¢: I’m a bit of a Mayan archeology buff, read and traveled much to try to understand them. Human sacrifice as a relief valve to control the pressures of overpopulation, deforestation & soil depletion? Maybe, but it didn’t work in the end – it’s now the consensus that exactly those factors caused their demise.

        Perhaps SSL means human sacrifice in ways different than ancient cultures understood it, too. I read a book someone recommended to me here, “American Gods”. The basic point is that the old gods are being replaced by new ones: TV, social media. Just as Odin got his nutrition from human (and animal) sacrifices, they require a different kind of food: time spent looking at them, attention paid. The god of the car, he’s bloodthirsty and well fed, he accepts blood sacrifices and never go hungry. Hell, the god of covid has to get by on scraps compared to the mighty tribute he harvests every year!

        I get the hunter-gatherer vs. farmer dilemma, but the point is moot. Human populations are grotesquely huge, blotting out everything else on this planet in their insatiable appetite. Hard enough to feed them all as is, with all available farmland intensely cultivated using massive amounts of chemicals, etc. Just imagine going back to Stone Age survivalism… impossible.

        There’s all these moral dilemmas, this sense of a certainty of what’s good and what’s evil crumbling all around us, disintegrating. Is a vaccine, a new GMO crop, an improvement in security that will save millions of lives in Africa or India a good thing or bad? I don’t know anymore. The millions saved will have dismal lives, die of starvation anyway, leave the planet poorer and more barren for what? To enjoy some years on this Earth, propagating, cutting down more trees and staring at Instagram on a cheap Chinese phone?

        We are all Mayans now, the world is our Yucatan, we know how this ends…

The world of verandas and cicadas, missionaries and adultery, gin tall drinks and bridge & whisky sodas at the club, but also a world of roads and hospitals built, railroad lines, telephones, books, schools, antibiotics, agriculture.

          Southeast Asians took advantage of all that and harnessed it for their own advantage when the British left. Africans burnt it all and went back to warlords, witchcraft & barbarism. The Dark Continent indeed…

            He focused on Indonesia. And actually to be a bit more precise: They had the ability to build vast Temples and Palace complexes. I don’t know if they had cities per se, but I suppose a lot of people lived around those. So they were actually quite a bit beyond the Black Africans, even if their common people lived in much the same way.

    Mitch McConnell had this to say yesterday:

    “Republicans drink Coca-Cola too. And we fly, and we like baseball,” McConnell said. “I’m not talking about political contributions. I’m talking about taking a position on a highly incendiary issue like this and punishing a community or a state … I just think it’s stupid.”

    This is hilarious … those of you with some brain cells will understand why.

      Mitch is an idiot but there is no punishment for the crime of being black the only systemic racism or bigotry in play is giving people benefit for being some preferred group for hiring minority, religion, ethnicity, sexual preference instead of hiring the best candidate that applied.

      Quotas
      preferential treatment
      diversity goals
      equal opportunity

      What ever your idiotic tagline for promoting one person over another for some perceived social ill or justice is part of why America is coming apart at the seems.

      The above shit is nothing but getting people to vote one party in over another and in the end we get less qualified people and we see it ALL over government.

      I think it might have been in TLE that I read that the eastern US used to have tram systems joined up end to end that would take you hundreds of miles – I’ve forgotten the towns that were mentioned.

      And they were bought up by the new car companies specifically in order to be destroyed, to make you dependent on their new product. And most people are now indeed fully addicted and can’t imagine not having their new shot of car ownership at regular intervals. And they’ve let their entire physical environment be changed so that it supports that new addiction and makes it almost impossible to go cold turkey.

      So many things are about endless profit. But people just pick one or two. And continue to love their own addiction and call it free choice.

      And I don’t mean you in particular. After a life lived mostly without one, I might just buy one myself again and have some fun if, by popular assessment, I’m going to be dead soon from the vaxx. I’m talking about all of us.

          Right nine months and I would bet at least two or three more buildings have been stood up to produce ever more vaccines.
          They have also stood up several coal fired power plants each week since then.

          Cars are fun they take you to places public transportation simply can’t or won’t.

          Like this mountain range close to home but impossible to get to without a car.

            I agree that they take you to places you can’t get to by public transport, benr. But eventually we won’t have them anyway!

            I’ve done without one for more of my adult like than I’ve had one – initially because I didn’t have money for one, but for the last 20 years I couldn’t justify having one that I didn’t absolutely need, and whinge about climate change/resource wastage at the same time. Same for flying, which I have almost wholly eschewed since I finally had the money to indulge myself, except when coerced by my other half, who is less tolerant of long rail journeys than I am.

            Anyway, my observation in the last 20 years has been that nobody much really cares, so I should leave someone else to do without for a while, if they so choose, and I should spend more time getting to those out of the way places i can’t get to that easily by public transport, before it’s too late.

            I’d love to see some of the beautiful parts of the US, but don’t know if that’s remotely likely at this stage.

        I believe it was NY to Chicago without leaving a train or a train platform.

        More than likely just phased out rather than bought out from disuse. A lot of them were municipal. They really did not need to buy them out, people just stopped using them.

        Cars are not an addiction. They are a necessity in the US because of the way transportation systems are set up. Started after WW2 and took off when DDE got his Autobahn facsimile approved. Right now, we do not need RRs, or rapid transit, or Greyhound buses, we have roads and roads and roads. And big airplanes to take care of the long fast distances.

        Peak oil hits? That will change, big time.

        We are at point A right now. Cars and airplanes.

        We need to get to point B, the Long Emergency, post SHTF, oil wise.

        The real contest on who comes out on top will be who does this trip the fastest and best. I am afraid for the US because with our political system, nothing gets done except on an emergency basis and the oil market has shown itself to fall off cliffs rather than making smooth transitions. Stuff to offset Peak Oil needs to have started ten years ago. Instead we shut down oil when we need it most, do nothing to increase our electric grid, push alternatives that have been proven inadequate instead of investing in the one system France has proved to be adequate and cost effective. We seem to be steering a course to make us dependent on China in the future. I wonder which numbskulls is pushing that.

            Most of the companies involved were convicted in 1949 of conspiracy to monopolize interstate commerce in the sale of buses, fuel, and supplies to NCL subsidiaries, but were acquitted of conspiring to monopolize the transit industry.

            Calling that an urban legend is akin to saying that O,J. Simpson never murdered anybody.

            That GM et al out-lawyered prosecution on how far their conspiracy to monopolize went while the profits from the shutting down of efficient transportation that respects natural resources controls to acrue to this very day is not urban legend.

          • GreenAlba April 8, 2021 at 3:49 pm #

            Well, I read it quickly and thought I’d been duped by an urban legend, OG. Or by my long-term memory. I originally thought it was fact and that I’d read it in JHK’s book. It was 15 years ago, so gimme a break!

            Then I read (on that page) that “The story as an urban legend has been written about by Martha Bianco, Scott Bottles, Sy Adler, Jonathan Richmond,[4] and Robert Post. It has been explored several times in print, film, and other media, notably in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Taken for a Ride, Internal Combustion, and The End of Suburbia.”

            I guess legends can be true? Anyway, I haven’t gone into it. It was a true story in my mind/memory, but I deferred to JohnAZ, as how the heck would some nobody from Edinburgh have a clue about a US streetcar system from before she was born?

            I now have no idea, officially. 🙂

Even our bloated, mostly useless health insurance that made them thousands of dollars per person every year even if we don’t step foot in a doctor’s office. Nope, even that, and the profits from all the crap medicine they peddle, which debilitates millions every year, wasn’t enough.

      Nope. They have to change laws, skirt other laws, break laws, bribe, coerce, propagandize the airwaves, pay influencers, run global marketing campaigns, all to create patients for life, to keep feeding the gluttonous beast.

He is the vanguard of the solar and wing technologies and he understands the futility of using them as first source of electricity.

          England’s biggest planned nuclear power plant (Hinkley Point C, in Somerset) is in partnership with the French EDF and China.

          There are problems with EDF’s side of the financing, as their share price has plummeted (halved?).

          And I heard years ago its design was a technical nightmare as well, but I don’t recall the details.

          Twenty billion pounds’ worth anyway, to be paid at huge interest rates over 35 years from 2025. Hmmm …

          The French had no option but to go nuclear. When I lived there in the 70s there was a state ad for the nuclear industry on the telly regularly saying ‘En France, on n’a pas de pétrole, mais on a des idées.’ (‘France has no oil, but lots of ideas.’ -ish.)

    I just realized I hadn’t responded to an important question / questions up thread re: aerosol particles accelerating the onset of an ice age and the changing brightness of the Sun. May I first say (thank you) that I have no clue if scientists are actually correct that the Sun was five times brighter 9,000 years ago. On the other hand, I don’t see a particular reason to dismiss it out of hand because I find that I can’t wrap my mind around the Sun being that much brighter. This is the place where one either has faith or does not. I can only say I am reporting on possibilities. We are also told that the composition of the atmosphere changes over time. As does the reflectivity (albedo) of sunlight back to space, the strength of the magnetic field, etc. We are also told the orbit of Earth around the Sun literally changes over time. So is it that much of a leap of faith to assume that such important changes could change the amount of light and energy from the Sun that makes it to the surface of the Earth?

    [Paragraph spacing inserted to ease Tek’s reading woes and probably others (Note: Focus of criticism will simply shift from format to content but no one can say I didn’t try)

    Aerosols could certainly theoretically accelerate the onset of an ice age that is already naturally beginning. However, in and of themselves, I don’t suspect that aerosols can cause an ice age. But we do know that massive volcanic eruptions can cause brief mini ice ages. I’m sure though there are always exceptions. My understanding is that the onset and recession of ice ages are primarily dictated by the rhythms of the celestial bodies. Yep! It’s a dance. And remember that dance is math!! The elements of the dance all depend upon the variation of the Earth’s orbital eccentricity around the Sun, the axial tilt of the Earth, and changes of the precession of the axial tilt of the Earth. You can look up the technicalities of all of that. It’s all theory. Just like evolution. But I guess all of that to say that aerosols and particulates would/could have a limited impact on the climate in comparison to other longer term and more basic factors like the ones mentioned above.

      It makes no difference what has caused changes, it is a fact that large changes have occurred, Mankind has witnessed ice ages, mini ice ages, droughts and warm cycles. Measurements of atmosphere content of ice cores in Greenland say that CO2 has varied throughout history. What about methane, O2, and others. Just the history of the various generations of native Americans shows constant movement into warm wet regions and retreat when droughts happen. See Anasazi.

      Man will not affect the climate favorably, in spite of Bill Gates who thinks High tech fixes everything. How much aerosols, when to stop to stop an ice age. What happens when the Earth upchucks through volcanos at the same time we do aerosols? Oh darn, we did not mean to cause this ice age.

      History speaking, when Man decides to correct something, we make it worse. It is called Murphy’s law.

      Leave it alone, plan to clean up the pollution that fossil fuel combustion causes, preserve the FF we have left for necessary needs.

      Kowloon Tong, by Paul Theroux, about the Hong Kong transfer from Britain to China, is a must-read to understand how the Chinese regime acts. Machiavellian, indeed. Promise anything, say what the delegation at the other end of the table wants to hear, sign the papers knowing full well they won’t mean a thing once they take control.

      Recently I saw this photo on Argentine media, taken from a Coast Guard spotter plane – the South Atlantic at night, lit up by the lights of hundreds of Chinese fishing vessels, plundering Argie territorial waters after wiping out the squid & whiting fisheries in international waters.

      This is how it works: the Chinese regime green-lights the fishing armadas to do this. The Argie Navy & Coast Guard can only interdict & tow a couple of ships or so, while the rest beat it towards int’l waters, where they are untouchable. At an Argentine port, the captains & crews are detained for a few hours, then released. They leave in their vessels, minus the catch. China has big investments in Arg and throughout South America. A word from their ambassador, a few palms greased, and voilá: no consequences for this ecocide. The Argentine Sea will soon be barren of these resources, and not just the commercial species, as the fishing methods employed are brutal, wiping out all marine life.

      And so it goes, everywhere, all the time. Resources depleting, populations exploding, cynical govt’s worldwide looking at China with envy and admiration as they tilt totalitarian: “this is how it’s done. They have the right idea. An iron hand to control their population, and an iron will to get what they want on the world scene. They are our model.”

          OG, funny!

          Yoho, I wouldn’t know about a new Israel in Patagonia, or about alien fleets in Antarctica. What I do know is that Argentina has the 3rd largest Jewish population in the world, after Israel and the US. They have been there for generations and are Argentinian through and through. They’ve made numerous contributions to the country, just like the Italians, Spaniards, Germans and others. Pity in the end the European (and Jewish) heritage of the country could not prevent its demise into 3rd world irrelevance. Other factors came into play, as we discussed in other threads.

          This may disappoint you, but there’s no widespread antisemitism there. That community suffered two horrific attacks back in the 90s. The Israeli embassy was blown up, and worse, an Argentine Jewish community center bombed, with many innocents killed. Both attacks came from Iran, albeit with some local support. A federal prosecutor investigating the community center bombing, who happened to be Jewish himself, was “suicided” on the eve of a presentation in Congress that was to blame the Peronista gov’t of complicity. Alberto Nisman, you can look it up.

          Many powerful players have been claiming stakes in Patagonia for a long time now. The Chinese have a base there. American and European tycoons buy land wholesale, including pristine bodies of water and forests. It’s resource-rich and sparsely populated. I should add, beautiful and very harsh. I worked a year there, at almost the very Southern tip of it, as a crew member of the boats that take visitors on tours of the lakes and glaciers. I saw pumas swimming long distances from island to island among chunks of ancient ice, enormous condors, herded sheep on my bicycle (the base for the boat company had to be self sufficient, so they also had greenhouses to feed the crews). Those memories are a jewel. Wasted youth, wasted time, maybe, but the memories remain.

          GA, Theroux is also a jewel. I discovered him not so long ago and didn’t stop until I’d read every one of his books. I fear you’ll get addicted, too! Happy reading!

            How are the Welsh doing in Patagonia, Rulo?

            I’d always thought they’d gone there for economic reasons, when employment dried up at home, but I learned recently that it was cultural. They were afraid of their Welsh culture and language being assimilated into greater England, with their language not being recognised officially (all rectified in the last 50 years!), so they thought they’d do better maintaining their culture elsewhere.

            I guess a bit like the Mayflower folks but more cultural than religious (but probably a bit of the church/chapel thing going on as well).

            I remember studying South America (hmmm … not a small topic) in Geography at school and the fact that a lot of Welsh people had upped sticks to Patagonia was one of those odd facts that stays in your head, even at 15, because it’s slightly incongruous.

          • Rulo Deschamps April 8, 2021 at 5:28 pm #

            OG, on good days I feel that way. On bad days there’s regrets. I truly was a rolling stone for most of my youth, and now, edging 50, I sometimes think I was a fool in drinking up the world the way I did, collecting memories but not having the discipline to lay out foundations for the future. Good experiences, but I started farming in earnest too late. Mea Culpa. I thank you for your comment.

            GA, the Welsh are doing fine as far as I know, although you know, they stopped being “Welsh” a long time ago and are now Argies. They do participate in the “communities parade” in Buenos Aires, a big thing there, where everybody dresses in their ancestors’ traditional garb, play their music (nobody digs the Scottish bagpipes, sorry to say, but kilts are always popular) and share their traditional dishes in a day long street party.

            Some of them have gone back to the old country, but I dunno if you’re aware that the UK has a very strange immigration policy that bars most descendants of British immigrants and denies them citizenship or even permanent resident status. I know this because a side of my family (I’m from Spanish and Yugoslav stock) married into a Scottish family, so my cousins were educated at St Andrew’s, always spoke fluent English, and at some point when they were trying to emigrate to Europe went to the UK consulate and were flatly denied despite their name and history. They ended up acquiring a Spanish 2nd passport.

            I fondly remember my English teacher when I was a boy, a Miss Bayley, a spinster in her 90’s, very sharp. She had arrived from Wales with her father, who was an engineer with the British co. building the railroads. Amazing lady. She would have me read Disraeli’s memories out loud as she sipped her milky tea and ate her homemade cookies, a Welsh recipe she’d taught her housekeeper and was very delicious. I learnt English passably well, despite Disraeli being such a bore 🙂

            I had a great love in my youth, a Welsh girl of my age at the time (24), red-headed, funny and brilliant. She was a fellow volunteer at the kibbutz where I spent some time. She came from very humble origins but became a millionaire by age 30. I sometimes regret things I did or didn’t do. In her case, after the travels in the Middle East, I was returning to Argentina after a year’s absence, and passing through London, she invited me to visit her in Edinburgh, where she was at the time, on the way up in the music industry. I didn’t go, because I was utterly broke and ashamed she’d see me like that, returned to Argentina, got the job in Patagonia thinking I’d go back sometime with shekels in my pocket, but never did. We stayed in contact for a number of years, but then we both formed families and faded away from each other. C’est la vie.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 8, 2021 at 7:09 pm #

            Rulo Deschamps, if it is any consolation: at least you lived life. I played by their rules. University out of high school plus Computer Engineering Tech School, 22 years of eating silver-spooners shit as their negligence was always my emergency, accumulated over $2mm net worth by age 50. Allwith the goal of enjoying life in my 50s & 60s.

            Instead, crooked lawyers extorted it from me.

            At least you lived life as a rolling stone. That was corporate magazine to me.

          • GreenAlba April 8, 2021 at 7:55 pm #

            Thanks for all of that, Rulo. Your posts are always full of interesting highways and byways.

            “She would have me read Disraeli’s memories out loud as she sipped her milky tea and ate her homemade cookies […]”

            She got the better deal, obviously!

            Re your lovely Welsh lady, it’s strange how things work out. At least you both went on to be happy.

            We have an Irish friend who lives on the other side of the Forth (Kirkcaldy – if you kept going along the coast you’d get to St Andrews!) who is a retired doctor. My husband met her when they both did a stint in an Irish hospital in Baghdad decades ago.

            Anyway, doctors move around, obviously, when they’re training especially, and she was in a hospital in York, in her 30s I suppose, and seeing a Syrian doctor there who was the love of her life. But when he finished his stint in York he went back to Syria and married a Syrian woman – they live in Aleppo.

            Our friend hasn’t seen him since, but she arranged for him to meet us for dinner when we were in Syria. They stayed ‘friends’, and speak on the phone from time to time. She’s obviously no threat to his wife. But basically he remained the love of her life, my husband reckons, so that was kinda that. And she’s never married.

            Romantic but sad.

          • Rulo Deschamps April 8, 2021 at 8:13 pm #

            OG, “their negligence was always my emergency”… that’s good, I recognize it, I had to eat my share of that ordure too when I was a fresh (legal) immigrant here in the US, with 2 young children to support. Not anymore, thank goodness, but I never accumulated wealth. I own some land and sell my produce at farmers’ markets, do contract work for bigger farmers, but my bank acct is rather slim.

            I’m sorry you lost your savings in the hands of lawyers, and if I understand some things you’ve said here correctly, a rapacious ex. It must be tough to have to work hard for others for many years, and then lose all the fruits of your efforts.

            If it’s any consolation, you as a religious man know very well what Jesus said about camels going through needleholes being more likely than rich men entering Heaven. I’m poor too, well, relatively speaking of course, but sometimes think I was selfish in not trying to get a little something to leave to my children.

            I visited Toronto in 1991. I remember the used bookstores on Yonge St, the Jamaican enclaves around Eglinton, just a few memories. It seemed to me a vibrant, fascinating city. Not sure if you’re there or in rural Ontario. Argentinians bitterly joke that we could have been Canada, and chose to be Zimbabwe. Although the label “Argentinian” is getting rustier and rustier with me, I’ve been an American for decades now. Canada is an incredible country. Or was. I recently read a Canadian historic novel, I forget the author, it’s called “the trade”, about the Hudson Bay Co. – you may enjoy it. Cheers! Here’s to being poor!

          • O.G. Hawkins April 8, 2021 at 8:34 pm #

            Thx Rulo. Toronto is a fantastic city! I was there 1992-2017. I have returned to my hometown: Regina, Saskatchewan.

          • Rulo Deschamps April 8, 2021 at 9:16 pm #

            GA, “Romantic but sad”… I know what you mean. Some of us experience great and powerful loves at some point, like your Irish friend, loves like a wrecking ball or a hurricane that leave us in tatters for years. Has she read Garcia Marquez’s “Love in the Time of Cholera”? She may dig it, since she’s still in touch with the Syrian doctor. It’s about a great love, the protagonists can’t marry each other for x reason, but he never gives up, and in their old age they finally get to be together after a lifetime longing for each other. I remember the name of the woman in that novel, Fermina Daza, which is lovely. Just that name, not to mention the author’s masterful descriptions, makes you understand the man’s lasting obsession, life-long courtship and final triumph… when it’s already too late… or not?

            But you’re right, I can’t complain, and I have a jewel of a wife, who can grow anything, understands the secret life of plants and bees and livestock, is loving and smart and funny. I just got a little melancholy thinking about the Welsh woman and what could have been, but regrets are no good. The first thing I did when I made a little $ from my sailor wages was send her an English version of the book I mentioned, with a letter promising her I’d wait forever, blah blah. Well, hell no, I didn’t wait forever, and I’m glad I didn’t. Plus, I don’t see myself living with a very rich woman… I prefer my wife’s dirty fingers after weeding all day, and I’m happy overall about how my life worked out.

            Doctors… have you noticed how many famous doctors there are in literature? Dr Watson of course, Dr Zhivago, there’s a Dr Diaz Gray in Onetti’s books, who is a morphine addict but like most of the famous doctors, also very humane and compassionate, a philosopher of sorts. There’s Dr Jekyll of course, and he is a good apple, but his other side needs a Mr Hyde, who is a dark character like Burroughs’ Dr Benway in his drug-fueled hallucinations. There’s a very humane and understanding doctor in one of Houellebecq’s books, and I’m curious to know if you’ve read that author. I think you read French, mine is very poor, but I’ve devoured his works in English & Spanish. Well, there’s many more. I know your hubby is a doctor, and sometimes when I read what you post I know you speak a bit like him and the other good doctors of literary fame, with common sense, compassion, a sense of humor, a forgiving and understanding stance on mankind’s flaws. Of all the professions, doctors to me are the most useful, the least selfish (well, in the US there’s plenty of asshole doctors that only care about the latest BMW models and golf memberships, but still), the most admired, the ones who truly are able to help others.

            I’m so happy and proud my son is studying to be one. We could have never afforded college tuition, but he got a scholarship and is very keen on achieving his goal. Every day I wish hard he achieves it, the world doesn’t go to hell, some woman doesn’t make him lose concentration. He’s young and naive, but I like it that he says he wants to be a doctor to help others, not to get rich. Lucky thoughts travel from where I’m at to his campus every day, along with a small check for pocket money so he doesn’t have to work. Competition is fierce, from the Chinese students and the rich kids with many advantages, but my boy is smart and determined and has a chance. Crossed fingers here.

            When I said my cousins studied at St Andrews, I meant the Buenos Aires school, not the real thing. It’s a posh school where many British Argentinians study.

            Funny how small the world really is. You mentioned Baghdad and immediately made me think of my childhood friend (we’re still tight – both of us ended up here in FL) who had to spend 2 years there when we were about 13. His mum, a bit crazy, got a job teaching in one of Saddam’s universities, and took him along. This is during the Iraq-Iran war, and my friend brought recordings of the scud missiles raining down, and he had a flak battery stationed on the roof of the high rise where he lived with his mother. We thought we were so tough because we had to live through the military junta and the Falklands war, but that was peanuts compared to daily life in Iraq.

            Anyway, a pleasure talking to you. Thank you for your comments, and cheers!

          • Rulo Deschamps April 8, 2021 at 9:45 pm #

            OG, wow! What a small world! I wish you the best of luck with truvinyl. I think it’s a very good move to include the albums artwork and information. It was one of the pleasures, right, not just the music, but to read the lyrics, study the cover art.

            I hardly listen to rock anymore, I dunno why. I guess all the years with the Sony walkman were enough, I’ve had my fill, and now I only listen to classical music, some country music my wife enjoys, and a bit of my old homeland’s music, tango. But I see Clash and Beatles album covers in your page, so I know the selection is good!

        The Chinese are overtaking the world by two devices, out thinking their opposition and failing that moving in on them through immigration and just buying them out from under themselves. War is obsolete, takeovers are in. The USA has never learned this.

        China wins.

        • JohnAZ April 8, 2021 at 3:39 pm #

          Uh, being 30 trillion in debt with a significant portion owed to the enemy does not help in countering the trend. Trump found that out. The Deep State had already sold us down the river before he got there.

          • Rulo Deschamps April 8, 2021 at 3:55 pm #

            Hm, my comments to Yoho & GA should have been here. Oh well.

            John AZ, indeed, China has us by the short hairs… in fact, they have the world’s balls in a vise. The debt you mention is one factor. Immigration too. I was just telling Yoho how Jewish, and indeed all European immigration became Argentinian in a generation or two. The sizable Chinese population never integrated, to this day. No contributions whatsoever to a common culture. Barely any Spanish. Constantly glued to their devices, watching Chinese news & nationalist propaganda. I’ve come to the conclusion that they regard Argentinians, and everybody else for that matter, as inferiors. In their view, nobody has their subtlety, long term planning, cunning.

            There’s also sheer military power, and in the case of South America, massive investments. They have been successful with their vaccine diplomacy, too. Most of the region is distributing their SinoPharm shots.

          • Rulo Deschamps April 8, 2021 at 11:02 pm #

            Malthuss, around 200,000 is the estimate. They run small grocery stores that are open insane hours, often in shady hoods where the chains won’t go. They never really integrate or learn the language, but stay connected to China and generally want to go back there once they make some $. They even have their own mafia!

            Yoho, not sure I understood your comment, but last time I checked Argentina was still part of the Western world so, in your book, is migration within Western countries allowed? Truly there’s not much difference between an Argie and a Canadian, except the language, but we look pretty much the same. Part of the European Diaspora, you know, canucks a bit blonder maybe… can Australians go to Britain? Portuguese to Germany? So many rules…

          • Rulo Deschamps April 8, 2021 at 11:05 pm #

            Malthuss, 200,000 is the estimate for Argentina alone. Not a clue how many in South America, or the world. Millions, surely. You know, there’s a Chinese community in every single country in the world, and I’ve been to a few. Funny they don’t want any foreigners in the Celestial Kingdom, but they establish themselves everywhere.

          • Yohannon April 9, 2021 at 12:11 am #

            Yeah Rulo, but should it be? Weaken a Nation with mass Western immigration. Then it has lower resistance to third world immigration. And then the nation (google its etymology) is basically gone, and voila, the Globalists can take over officially because you’ve been doing their will for decades.

            Google the etymology of nation and then of country. Countries are nothing. Uruguay is a country. Argentina could have been more but chose to be a whole lot of nothing instead.

    @ Redneck Liberal

    You claim that I didn’t debunk your assertions about the Georgia election law, but in your response you confirmed one of my debunkings & dodged the question in the other, going off into some irrelevant piffle.

    Furthermore we have to look at the larger picture. Why do Democrats engage in this talisman of universal participation in elections anyway? This isn’t virtuous in & of itself. The vast majority of people are lumps who can’t even name their Congress representative. They don’t have any interest in politics, & why should they? They’re involved in their own lives to the exclusion of politics.

    One of the promises of the Enlightenment was that humans would engage in their own private interests, leading to an outpouring of artistic & scientific achievements, having been freed of political concerns. Ironically, the exact opposite has happened with this Woke revolution. We’re required to believe that the smallest personal actions are political, just like under Communism.

    You’re not fooling anybody here. We understand that the real motive behind the Democrats’ fanaticism on this subject is the same as Open Borders. It’s to allow the monied interests behind the scenes to control the great mass of uninformed voters & thus control every election. The people whose votes they control are of the same quality whether they originate from south of the border or in the big-city ghettoes. Invariably ignorant & a large portion of them incurably stupid.

    • O.G. Hawkins April 8, 2021 at 1:14 pm #

    • Rulo Deschamps April 8, 2021 at 2:08 pm #

      Tate, democracy as practiced today has failed us. The Greeks who came up with the concept never intended it to mean every warm body votes. Only those heavily invested in the polis did, those willing to take arms and raise armies to defend it, landowners who raised crops and fed the people. In the most generous polis constitutions, every citizen could vote – that still didn’t mean everybody. Women, foreigners, slaves and many others couldn’t. We could debate ad infinitum whether this was good or bad, but that’s how the system was intended to work.

      I can’t answer any of the 3 questions posed by OG, and I get his point: the ignorant and lazy own the future. Used to be roughly half of the population, so the informed and hard working other half could at times offset their agenda, if adequate candidates made an effort.

      That’s all in the past, as 2020 has shown us. You know, I won’t even go into the fraud question. Doubtless some shenanigans were allowed to happen, but the point is that probably they weren’t or will not be necessary anymore. The evidence is all around us: those of us who give a shit and want the best for the country, not just some handouts and breads & circuses lean older, are more disappointed and cynical of the whole kabuki theater, we are slowly dying off or retreating into our inner circles, our farms, our own backyards at best, and know our voices don’t count. At the same time, the powers that be are working double time to add, add, add to the voter rolls. New arrivals, the barely literate, convicted criminals… it’s rather hopeless, I think.

      One Greek political custom I’d love to see a return of is the ostrakon. The chance for voters to write the name of whoever needs to be exiled (“ostracized”) on an oyster shell – enough shells with your name on it, you get the hell out of dodge. I’d get a truckload of oyster shells from my shellfish farmer neighbors, get a few sharpies ready & a bottle of rye, and write names all night long, or until my hands can’t move anymore, in the hopes of seeing toxic shits like Ms Omar, Ms Ocasio, Ms Pelosi, Mr Buttplug and many others sent packing. Would I make one for Mr Trump? Hmmm, difficult question. He’s failed me, big time. He blew up his chance, the doddering, tweeting, egomaniac idiot.

    • Tate April 8, 2021 at 2:38 pm #

      In the 3rd paragraph, I should have said “freed of political & religious concerns”. Back in those days the authorities controlled the personal lives of the populace through officially-sanctioned state religion. But it was political all the same.

      O.G., I assume a “Batman” has nothing to do with the comic super-hero. 🙂

      Rulo, there’s a good part of the Millennials who don’t buy all the bull, we’ll see. On the Ostrakon, where do we send them? I’d advise the Mojave desert. (It worked in Brave New World.)

      Smug & elitist. Nice job.

      “Commentator Kevin Williamson published a piece in National Review justifying voter suppression by suggesting that “the republic would be better served by having fewer—but better—voters.” Representatives, he says, “are people who act in other people’s interests,” which is different from doing what voters want.

      This is the same argument elite slaveholder James Henry Hammond made before the Senate in 1858, when he defended the idea that Congress should recognize the spread of human enslavement into Kansas despite the fact that the people living in that territory wanted to abolish slavery. Our Constitution, Hammond said, did not dictate that people should “be annoyed with the cares of Government,” but rather directed that they should elect leaders who would take those cares upon themselves.

      It is the same argument wealthy men made in the 1890s when they illustrated that laws calling for “better” voters meant that white registrars would hand-pick the nation’s voting population. In the South and the North both, legislators wrote new state constitutions to keep Black men, immigrants, and poor workers from the polls. Leading Americans argued that such men “corrupted” the vote by electing lawmakers who provided public infrastructure like schools and hospitals, paid for with the tax dollars of hardworking white men. To keep poor voters and men of color from the ballot, new state laws called for literacy tests, in which white registrars personally judged a man’s ability to read; poll taxes for which one had to keep the receipts; grandfather clauses, in which a man could vote if his grandfather had, and so on.” HC Richardson

      • Tate April 8, 2021 at 7:11 pm #

        Is Kevin Williamson wrong? Only in calling our government a “republic”. Was James Henry Hammond wrong when he said that the people should not be “annoyed with the cares of government”? That he was a slaveholder, all I can respond to that is: “Nice smear.”

        Still no word on my effectively debunking your claims, lol. I would point to the current results of allowing anybody who shows up with a pulse (& many without) to vote as all the proof we need that it’s not so great an idea. For heaven’s sakes, now we have the spectacle of an old guy who was “elected” with barely a pulse, isn’t that reason enough to reconsider?!

        • Redneck Liberal April 8, 2021 at 9:30 pm #

          “Is Kevin Williamson wrong?” It’s a matter of opinion. In my opinion, yes; in yours, apparently, no.

          But the very idea that there should be ‘fewer – but better – voters” is such a fascist perspective/opinion, I find it hard to believe anyone could genuinely buy that – except for Janos et al (whose number now include thee, Tate).

          “Fewer voters ” – fewer blacks, browns, mud-bloods, immigrants etc

          “Better voters” = Republican votes, only preferably.

          The lengths to which the GOP will go, the depths to which its operatives are prepared to stoop, is simply mind-blowing. But I guess if you’re on the losing side of public sentiment, then what else ya gonna do?

          • Tate April 9, 2021 at 2:18 am #

            Unfortunately, democracy at last reveals its true colors: totalitarian in hue. Everyone must vote or… we’s gonna die! Most of the banana republics of Latin America require proof of participation. And the sheep enthusiastically participate. That’s where we’re headed I’m afraid as we import that same voter base into this former-republic. Has it ever occurred in that vacuous space between your ears that most people would be at least as well off (& probably way better off) by going about their lives indifferent to the machinations of the high & mighty.

      “When we first reported that handing a slice of pizza to a voter waiting three hours in a line is now a felony in Georgia, other media ate it up (forgive me my puns). It’s easy to understand the cruelty of plantation-minded Georgia Republicans making Black folk suffer from hunger and thirst in lines the GOP deliberately made long by closing polling stations in minority precincts.

      But there are greater horrors than pizza prohibition hidden in the 95 pages of Georgia’s new anti-voting law.

      Donald Trump infamously demanded the Georgia Secretary of State “find 11,780” votes. The MAGA mafia in the Georgia legislature found 364,541 votes to cancel, that is, voters whose ballots would be blocked from the count in the next election.

      To understand how this mass attack on citizens will work, we have to go back to December 21, just before the Georgia Senate run-offs, when True the Vote, a Texas group founded by Tea Party crusader Catherine Engelbrecht, challenged the right of 364,541 Georgians to cast ballots. You read that number right: more than a third of a million voters almost lost their vote.”

      — except maybe for the “all ” – part.

      As I have mentioned before , the county I live in is 97 % White , and 46% of those are below the poverty level.

      And it’s been years since I was in the habit of reading Supreme Court decisions word – for – word , but the way I hear it , the only Supreme Court Justice who practices conservatism to any degree , rather than merely advertising themselves as such , is Clarence Thomas.

        The analogy is baloney. Go to the Deep South if you want to see which base the ethic groups start on. Maybe in all those fine cities everyone is so proud of, the White culture favors the White candidate, but not out in the boonies.

        The Black apologists have used White privilege as a damned excuse for way too long. If the Blacks refuse to take their place among the White culture, to hell with them. Let them sell drugs, let then gang up, let them stay poor, let them shoot and kill each other, let them tear down what others of their group have built up, let them Uncle Tom the heroes of their group who have made it and cast a long shadow with their success.

        Listen to Leo Terrell talk about worthless Blacks, listen to Herschel Walker talk about how much Trump did for the Blacks, listen to Ben Carson talk about striving against the odds and making it.

        Remember when women were discriminated against in Vet school or Medical school. The Blacks need to learn something from the female pioneers that overcame the prejudice to excel in their fields. The opportunity to get ahead has always existed for every group as indicated by the presence of exemplary examples. First step, every young male Black need to appreciate classical music instead of the garbage being generated today. Just kidding, but not entirely. Young Black men need to be shown, by their fathers if possible, the pathway to success and a fire lit in themselves to get there. No fire? Then just the continuation of the baloney that has been leading Blacks to earthly hell for generations.

      It is not an original by any means, and I misquoted it in any case.

      It should be, “Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple,” and is attributed to famous football coach Barry Switzer – perhaps wrongly.

      It basically means that those who win the life lottery and are born into a family of wealth, education, and privilege (or even just good middle class) can downplay their inherited advantage, and believe they achieve big things through their own brilliance.

      And also the corollary – they claim that anyone who is poor is feckless, lazy, and dumb – a loser. Nothing to do with systemic poverty, systemic racism, and a very rigged game.

      There’s a certain recent ex-president who fits the mold.

      And of course there are millions of people of all races who are in poverty and doing it tough, even though they lead sober lives and work hard.

      That’s what a raw, naked capitalism does – the system is rigged against them, and the ruling class buys governments to keep it that way. People like me who want to clip their wings, support unions and working families, and increase taxes on the rich, etc, get attacked for being crazy commies and marxists.

      Go figure.

        Which is pretty much all Tekapo said, even adding ‘perhaps wrongly’ to the attribution story.

    ” When your ID expires, do you cease to be who you were? Does the picture on the ID no longer look like you? Do you now have a different name?

    No. The expiration of the ID is something imposed by the a Government Bureaucracy. It means none of those things. ”

    — Yohannon

    Also , curiously , when the state wishes to present you with a tax bill , or throw you in a cage , they don’t seem to have any trouble recognizing that you are who you are then.

      No, your proof of existence is your birth certificate. Your proof of expiration is your death certificate.

      In between, IDs take the place of your birth certificate.

      So by declaring that no ID is needed to vote, we are saying that the proof of the voters existence is not necessary.

      Wow, what a can of worms that opens up.

      Bundling votes, like putting in hundreds of lottery tickets for better chances of victory. Nothing identifies that you are you.

      How many times do you want to vote, no one is counting because you do not exist.

      If the existence of a person’s birthplace is set by a birth certificate and that birth certificate is the basis for the ID, the ID is proof that the person is a citizen and entitled to vote. Non-citizens need to be screened out. Naturalization citizenship papers take the place of the birth certificate for immigrants.

      No ID laws allow violation of all the above.

      I am a citizen, prove it. I vote in Virginia, prove it. I am not an illegal immigrant, prove it. I deserve to vote by all law. Prove it. It is up to the individual to prove they are eligible to vote.

      Which is the rub isn’t it. How many votes will the Dems lose if every vote was legal, one vote per person, only live people.

      The goal should be one vote per legitimate citizen.

      The Dems cannot stand that. No ID laws allow the political parties to cheat, gerrymander, register illegals by the carload, vote more than once, vote in different states, think snowbirds.

      The Dems will fight, tooth and nail, any attempt to enforce one citizen, one vote laws from being enacted and enforced at the state level.

      Hang in there Kemp, you are in the right. Cheaters like Stacy Adams can suck an egg.

        How many times do you want to vote, no one is counting because you do not exist.

        Voter ID has nothing to do with preventing voter fraud.

        An electoral roll will contain your name, DOB, address, and county … after you provide your name, and are asked for your address, if correct you are allowed to vote, and your name is marked off the roll (either electronically or with a checkmark on a physical roll).

        This process happens whether you vote in person on the day, use early voting, or mail in your ballot.

        No-one can use that name twice – and the incidence of voter fraud caused by “ID theft” is effectively zero. A lot of states do not require ID, because the system works as I have outlined, and they know that.

        I’m not sure what “vote bundling” is. or even if it occurs, and nor do I understand how it relates to voter ID.

          • benr April 8, 2021 at 5:55 pm #

            A top Democratic operative says voter fraud, especially with mail-in ballots, is no myth. And he knows this because he’s been doing it, on a grand scale, for decades.

            Mail-in ballots have become the latest flashpoint in the 2020 elections. While President Trump and the GOP warn of widespread manipulation of the absentee vote that will swell with COVID polling restrictions, many Democrats and their media allies have dismissed such concerns as unfounded.

            But the political insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he fears prosecution, said fraud is more the rule than the exception. His dirty work has taken him through the weeds of municipal and federal elections in Paterson, Atlantic City, Camden, Newark, Hoboken and Hudson County and his fingerprints can be found in local legislative, mayoral and congressional races across the Garden State. Some of the biggest names and highest office holders in New Jersey have benefited from his tricks, according to campaign records The Post reviewed.

            “An election that is swayed by 500 votes, 1,000 votes — it can make a difference,” the tipster said. “It could be enough to flip states.”

            The whisteblower — whose identity, rap sheet and long history working as a consultant to various campaigns were confirmed by The Post — says he not only changed ballots himself over the years, but led teams of fraudsters and mentored at least 20 operatives in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania — a critical 2020 swing state.

            “There is no race in New Jersey — from city council to United States Senate — that we haven’t worked on,” the tipster said. “I worked on a fire commissioner’s race in Burlington County. The smaller the race, the easier it is to do.”

            A Bernie Sanders die-hard with no horse in the presidential race, he said he felt compelled to come forward in the hope that states would act now to fix the glaring security problems present in mail-in ballots.

            “This is a real thing,” he said. “And there is going to be a f–king war coming November 3rd over this stuff … If they knew how the sausage was made, they could fix it.”

            Mail-in voting can be complicated — tough enough that 84,000 New Yorkers had their mailed votes thrown out in the June 23 Democratic presidential primary for incorrectly filling them out.

            But for political pros, they’re a piece of cake. In New Jersey, for example, it begins with a blank mail-in ballot delivered to a registered voter in a large envelope. Inside the packet is a return envelope, a “certificate of mail in voter” which the voter must sign, and the ballot itself.

            That’s when the election-rigger springs into action.

            Phony ballots

            The ballot has no specific security features — like a stamp or a watermark — so the insider said he would just make his own ballots.

            “I just put [the ballot] through the copy machine and it comes out the same way,” the insider said.

            But the return envelopes are “more secure than the ballot. You could never recreate the envelope,” he said. So they had to be collected from real voters. blah blah blah…

            Mail-in ballots have become the latest flashpoint in the 2020 elections. While President Trump and the GOP warn of widespread manipulation of the absentee vote that will swell with COVID polling restrictions, many Democrats and their media allies have dismissed such concerns as unfounded.

            Here is a counter to that: firstly, a lot of states (including Republican ones that funnily have never been accused of fraud LOL) use universal or no-excuse mail-in (absentee) voting – and have done so for a very long time without drama.

            And secondly, not one of the several states that expanded the availability of mail-in voting for Covid-19, including state-wide mail-outs, etc, flipped from Republican to Democrat in 2020 … not one state.

            The difference between 2020 and many other previous elections? This time there was a malignant narcissist incumbent, who literally could not believe or accept that a “nobody” like Joe Biden would whip his ass – but he did.

            His sore-loser behaviour for two months after 6 November led to the deadly storming of the US Capitol on 6 January.

            And also – voter ID is not related to mail-in ballots. If you’re eligible to be on the electoral roll, then you’re eligible to request and receive a mail-in ballot. Voter ID doesn’t come into it – each person registered on the electoral roll can only receive one mail-in ballot … no fraud.

            It’s up to election officials to keep the rolls up-to-date – regularly removing people who have died, moved interstate, or for other reasons (dementia etc) need to be de-registered.

      When I heard this, the very first thing that came to mind is CME encephalopathy. If you have seen Concussion, you will recognize the pattern.

      This story will be locked down immediately by the phones press and the NFL. I do not expect to hear about it again once the NFL gets their clutches onto it.

      • JohnAZ April 8, 2021 at 2:50 pm #

        The NFL and the player’s union have reached an according on what to do about CME. Suits still exist from individual players.

        This has crossed a boundary, the public has been harmed by the effects of CME. I hope the families affected by these deaths sue the hell out of the NFL.

        My belief at this juncture is that all professional sports, with the corruption involved, would just go out of business and amateur sports would take over.

            Takeover, hell yeah. I do not believe that the money of pro sports will ever be eclipsed by amateur sports, just wishful thinking.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 8, 2021 at 4:55 pm #

      I became critical of professional sports roughly ten years before the Will Smith movie , ” Concussion ” came out.

      Among the reasons , because it was obvious to me that professional athletes are not uncommonly trading their bodies / health for money / status.

      I do not object to people trading their bodies / health for money / status. Such is the way of things. And it is in fact a rational trade – off.

    ” Oh wait hmm. ”

    — Benr

    I wouldn’t dwell on that much if I were you.

    The other day I asked Yohannon if he wanted to know about men I have been keen on.

    And he replied , ” Only if you loved them. ”

    In the old movie , ” Night of the Generals ” , a German soldier is decorated for gallantry and a general says to him ,

    ” The newspapers say that you are the very reincarnation of Siegfried. Do you feel like Siegfried ? ”

    And the soldier replies , ” I’m not sure I know or understand what Siegfried felt. ”

    I suppose it may sound like the guy is trying to appear sophisticated and brainy , and perhaps me as well , because I identify with that statement ?

    I celebrated my 55th birthday last month.

    In 55 years I have been what I would define as ” close” to two people.

    The first was my grandmother. But she lived in America , and she died a year and a half after I came to America.

    What can you claim to know about someone that you knew for barely a year , at the age of ten ?

    I would say we were close because she apparently thought the sun rose and set on me. I cannot begin to guess why she would think and feel that way , or what her motives were .

    But I suppose apparent enthusiastic and unconditional love amounts to a closeness you would have to go out of your way to avoid ?

    The second is my best friend of eleven years .

    I would describe that relationship as ” close ” on the basis of if there is an expert on the subject of KesaAnna it would be her .

    If there are things she doesn’t know , it would be because , after all , even if you wrote or talked 24 hours a day , seven days a week , there would still be huge gaps in any autobiography.

    Secondly , I think it reasonable to venture that someone does not keep showing up at your door for eleven years for no particular reason. Nobody is that interesting or that attractive or even that convenient .

    Unfortunately , are you familiar with the character of Howard Hughes ?

    Reading a biography of Howard Hughes is just like reading about her. She is very secretive , unaccountably secretive , and she is in no way the hugs and kisses – type. Very much the cold fish type.

    So , except for the part about her hanging around eleven years , I really can’t say how close I AM TO HER ?

    I have been told by outside observers that my family seems to be a very close one ?

    And I can imagine how it would appear that way .

    My family members and I have been through a great many trials and crucibles and traumas . But then how I dealt with all of that , apparently by age 8 at the latest , was with invisible walls.

    The good news ( ? ) is that things that apparently strike others as intolerably abusive , strike me as no big deal.

    The bad news is I suppose that renders closeness impossible.

    Good things have a price , no less than bad things have a price.

    And that is pretty much it for social history.

    So , in all seriousness , I’m not sure exactly what ” Love ” is ?

    Or even what ” Like ” is ?

    I get the strong impression that like and dislike , good reputation or bad reputation , popularity or unpopularity , mean a lot more to other people than they mean to me.

    • JohnAZ April 8, 2021 at 3:20 pm #

      Nice.

      Friendship is marked by two people who care about each other’s existence, and when one must withdraw to take care of self issues, the other understands and supports. That is friendship. Unfortunately, it occurs very rarely and you you and your friend have that, you are very fortunate.

      It is a measure though that you only acknowledge one such relationship outside of family. No criticism as I consider it pretty typical.

          Study the Spindle (spun by Clotho) of Necessity in Plato’s Myth of Er. You mourn for the road not taken. But had you taken it, you would mourn for the road you have taken this time. All roads lead to Rome but we must stay balanced to stay on the road. Thus Odysseus searched for a quiet life where he would mind his own business to counteract the life he had just had. He found it lying in a dusty corner and brought it to Clotho.

    Take a peek at

    WOKE PEAK

    Baaa, Baaa, Baaa. The sheep are being shorn, partly by Republicans gathering wool, but mostly by Democrats with their clippers of cabals, coups and casuistry.

    Baaa, Baaa, Baaa bleat the sheep, the cutting blades shearing them into pathetic looking remnants of their former selves.

    Baaa, Baaa, Baaa bleat the talking heads on TV, rich, but powerless to stop their fellow creatures from being shorn.

    Soon, it will go up in Washington, D.C. and replace the Washington monument. Replicas will rise across the nation. It will be called Woke or Pyramid Peak, and be built out of the finest stones. It will be almost twice the size of the Great Pyramid at Giza. Anything less grand would not appropriately represent our noble Constitution and democracy, which gives us so much ethnic, sexual, and religious diversity. Within a few decades it will allow the white population in the US to fall below 50%. Such great achievements don’t come easily, and should be honored with magnificent monuments. Woke Peak replicas will replace most of the old, worn out statues of privileged, white racists.

    At the truncated top of Woke Peak will be a huge bronze of the Obamas, holding hands while gazing smugly and proudly over their Capitol and the nation that they conquered, with American eagles sadly nesting in Michelle’s hair and in Balack’s ears. It will be taller than the Statue of Unity, in spite of the then prevalent disunity.

    The people will be shorn and Woke Peak will be born. From the viewing sites, you will see and hear the people below, plaintively bleating, Baaa, Baaa, Baaa.

        I never heard of her until now. They’re claiming there’s no evidence that the vaccine caused her death. Well, sure, there’s no evidence but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Will we learn the cause? Doubtful.

    We find out today the govt is flying hundreds, maybe thousands, of ‘Refugee Children’ into Ct. Some have already arrived. This is a little puzzling because the original reason for the Covid lockdown 1 year ago was out of fear the medical system here would be overwhelmed. Yet here we are bringing in thousands of poverty stricken 3rd worlders. Some of these ‘Children’ are 24 years old. In 2015 this same thing happened, and places where the ‘Children’ were settled, there were outbreaks of measles, TB, meningitis and polio. American kids got sick and died. Local do gooder groups are mobilizing, soliciting donations, raising money, throwing out the welcome mat; we are all moms now!

    Today I noticed a car ahead of me weaving across the lane marker, then I noticed that its brake light was out. It was a late model vehicle with a vanity plate. Then when I drew abreast at a stop light, I noticed that it was being driven by a young East Asian woman. I thought “Okay, East Asian, bad driver.” Quite often, stereotypes are true, you see. I didn’t think, “Okay, I’m rolling down the window & hurling invective at her to “go back to where she came from.”

    This is the difference between a rational White man’s response to a stimulus & that of a sub-Saharan original. These people are very prone to emotional reactions to everything they encounter. They are necessarily unduly influenced by media proselytizers telling then how wronged they’ve been by {fill in the blank}. I won’t go into the motives of these said media proselytizers, we are all familiar with the usual suspects’ activities.

    Geez, Baltimore

    A few days ago the DA Carolyn Mosby announced she will no longer prosecute criminals in the city; now, the mayor, Brandon Scott, has begun taking steps to defund or even eventually disband his PD. Sometimes I mention the unravelling of civilization; in Baltimore it’s happening, from the top down.

    On the streets the power vacuum will be filled with gangs and criminals. It’ll be a wide open city, where the strong prey on the weak. Those who can afford it will hire private security, everybody else will be fair game. About 30% of Baltimore is still white but I expect that number will go down pretty quick now. Anybody running a business in Baltimore will have to get out too.

    It’s not for nothing Baltimore is known as the deadliest city in America. Now it’s about to get worse, much worse, like Cape Town, or Mogadishu.

It’s actually an anachronism, since the 2nd world has ceased to exist. 1st was the Western developed democracies, 2nd the Soviet socialist countries, and 3rd was the bright invention of diplomats from places like India, Yugoslavia and Brazil, who said they rejected both models, the capitalistic 1st and communist 2nd. In time it’s come to mean everywhere except the 1st. Useless info, I know.

      I’m expecting things to get really ugly once they run out of voluntary pin-cushions.

      This vaccine reminds me of the Thalidomide they handed out to calm pregnant women around 1960. The result – horrible birth defects, babies with seal flippers in place of arms and legs.

      “Experts estimate that were thalidomide led to the death of approximately 2,000 children and serious birth defects in more than 10,000 children, about 5,000 of them in West Germany.”

        • GreenAlba April 9, 2021 at 6:35 am #

          Why would you think only rich parents look after their disabled children? Many do it in circumstances of a abject poverty.

          When they Tories conceived the ‘bedroom tax’ (actually not a tax, but a system of charging social housing tenants a higher rent if they had a spare bedroom, to encourage them to move to a smaller house/flat), many disabled people and parents of disabled children were adversely affected because they needed the spare bedroom for the kind of equipment that made it possible for them to live their daily lives.

          The thalidomide story was horrendous. But some of the thalidomide generation married and had normal children, thankfully.

          Here’s one from hm’s search list, and the lady is relatively badly deformed compared to some.

        I think that is a really poor (and inaccurate) analogy. Thalidomide was an utter tragedy – who can disagree – but there is nothing about that event that is similar to the current reality, in relation to the various Covid-19 vaccines.

        I just do not fathom why people are re so anti the vaccine. It seems it is the same conspiracy-minded people who are anti global warming, anti renewables, anti the Joe Biden win, anti 9/11 reality, anti the moon landing, and probably anti the JFK assassination.

    Imagine that friends an imbecile with a sweep of his pen is going to transform millions of Americans into instant felons.

    https://www.oann.com/biden-gun-executive-action-risks-turning-millions-of-gun-owners-into-felons/

    Color of law means Joe Biden does not have the right to deprove millions of Americans from owning firearms just because he does not like them.

    That’s why it’s a federal crime for anyone acting under “color of law” to willfully deprive or conspire to deprive a person of a right protected by the Constitution or U.S. law. “Color of law” simply means the person is using authority given to him or her by a local, state, or federal government agency.

    Thus our felon and chief is about to step on his own tiny pecker.

    I was raised in Baltimore, 1950 to 1963.

    It was a middle state, not south not north. Lots of bigotry in place then. But lots of acceptance too. Very few Black in the suburbs, but they were brand new then. In high school, Blacks were cool, knew the latest songs and dances, were the best athletes, did well. These were the kids of the successful Blacks then.

    Blacks have big problems to solve between themselves, Trying to drag the rest of society down to their level is no answer.

    Our cognitive abilities are not formed naturally (some people hold the opposite view), but a process of continuous development. In the beginning, everyone will rely on their own experience to master math homework writing https://ca.liuxuesavior.com/shu-xue-dai-xie/ Basic concepts, but in order to complete difficult tasks in mathematics, it is not a good idea to focus on intuitive cognition. This means that the learning of students is a process from intuition, experience to abstract thinking. It is recommended that students master this abstract logic as soon as possible, rather than relying solely on intuitive viewpoints. Poincaré gave another example: “Suppose you are in a class, and the teacher is saying that a circle is the trajectory of a point, and this point is equidistant from the inner point called the center of the circle. Excellent students marked the above in his notebook The information surprised the poor student; however, neither of them could correctly understand the meaning; then, the teacher drew a circle on the blackboard. The student shouted: Ah! Why doesn’t the teacher say that a circle is a ring, so we already understand it.
