      The exhausting toils of the holidays are behind us; the mischief that could be done by the lame ducks in Congress has been done ($1.7 trillion Omnibus Spending Bill); and the time has come for the citizens of this land to get some answers about the escalating trips laid on them by their own government. The House of Representatives is in new hands. You’ll know in pretty short order whether they are capable, trustworthy hands, or just a blur of fast fingers running another three-card-monte table.

     The most pressing questions abide around justice, and the gavel of the Judiciary Committee passes from the barely-alive Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) to the very animated Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). He needs to ask FBI Director Chris Wray how it came to be that the Bureau sat in possession of the Hunter Biden laptop during the impeachment of January 2020 and did not offer up to the defense the exculpatory evidence it abundantly contained in the way of business deal memos between the Biden family and officials in several foreign lands, Ukraine in particular. After all, the impeachment hinged on a telephone inquiry Mr. Trump made about just those matters. Was there a good reason for that phone call, or not? Obviously, there was, and Mr. Wray’s conduct looks like obstruction of justice in the highest degree.

     Rep. James Comer (R-KY) comes in as chair of the House Oversight and Reform Committee. He announced months ago that he would hold hearings on interesting issues such Hunter Biden’s taxes and exactly who has paid to support his new career as an “artist.”

We’ve got national security concerns with respect to Hunter Biden. We want to know if you remember who bought that expensive artwork when he was an artist for about three days and sold the artwork for half a million dollars. We want to know why the Russian oligarchs who paid Hunter Biden money were mysteriously left off the sanctions list when Joe Biden started putting sanctions on Russians and Russian oligarchs. We’ve got a lot of questions about shady business dealings that Hunter had and whether or not they impacted the Biden administration.

     Next Mr. Wray has to answer for the FBI’s infiltration of social media. How did the top lawyer at the FBI, Jim Baker, come to be employed as the right-hand to Twitter’s chief censor, Vijaya Gadde? How did all those former FBI agents land at the company along with Jim Baker, and what did Mr. Wray have to do with the FBI demands to censor news and persons on matters of critical national importance such as vaccine safety and election fraud? How did more than a hundred former federal agents land on Facebook, Google, and other platforms? How did Mr. Wray decide to shut down the avenues of the First Amendment to the Constitution?

     Next up: Attorney General Merrick Garland. On what grounds are pre-trial January 6 Riot suspects being held in the decrepit DC federal lockup without bail on rinky-dink charges two years after the event? How does that square with American due process of law? What did he know about the existence of the Hunter Biden laptop and the evidence it contained? What is he doing about it? How did Mr. Garland happen to target for prosecution parents protesting school board policies on race and sexual matters? Of course, Mr. Garland is going to evade answering by using the ploy that all these questions “pertains to ongoing investigations.” Mr. Jordan had better hire a gutsy chief counsel with some brains to penetrate that bodyguard of lies.

      If the Special Subcommittee on the January 6 Riot is disbanded, turn the matter over to the Andy Biggs’ Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security. Let’s hear from Nancy Pelosi’s staff as to why her office (of the Speaker) turned down offers from the Trump White House for national guard protection that day. Let’s also hear from the then-chief of the Capitol Police, Steven Sund, who resigned from that job two days later — in consternation or disgrace? Bring back Mr. Wray and Mr. Garland. How many federal agents were circulating in the crowd the night before and on the day of the January 6 riot? Why was one Ray Epps never indicted for his much-recorded incitements to enter the Capitol? Who opened the magnetically-locked doors from the inside of the building? Stuff like that. What was the decision process for not charging officer Michael Byrd in the shooting death of Ashli Babbitt?

      I hope it’s not too impertinent to suppose that the January 6 Riot was engineered by our government to embarrass and punish its political opponents — taking advantage of the First Amendment “right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances,” which was what that crowd had come to do in Washington DC that day. Interesting how a little tweaking here and there turned that into a convenient fiasco. Entrapment, anyone? And how government control and interference over social media and corporate news reinforced the narrative that the stage-managed riot was “an insurrection” — one of many actual “big lies” of our time nurtured by our government against its citizens.

     A few other inquiries in this new Congress that need to commence ASAP: Can we hear from Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as to how come the US-Mexican Border is absolutely wide open; why his employees are transporting illegal aliens all around the USA; why he is running a program in Mexico to give Venezuelans and other select alien nationals “advanced authorization” and “two years parole,” then sneaking them into the USA through regular ports-of-entry?

     Then there is the enormous looming storm-cloud of questions over Covid-19: its origin; the botched trials of the mRNA “vaccines;” the management of the emergency in 2020 by Dr. Anthony Fauci, Deborah Birx, and many others; the role of two other principals hiding in the shadows for three years, epidemiologist Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina, and Peter Daszak of the EcoHealth Alliance; the demonization of early treatment protocols with safe and FDA-approved Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine to maintain the Emergency Use Authorization that protects the mRNA vaxx-makers companies from liability; the fudging of numbers and scrapping of web pages containing incriminating data at the CDC under Rochelle Walensky; the rising cases of disability and death now presenting via insurance company statistics in the absence of agency reporting; and, again, the coercion of social media platforms to conform to official narratives about the so-called pandemic. (Was it really?)

     Then there’s all the darkness surrounding Ukraine, our 51st state, as measured by the amount of taxpayer money funneled into it…. A lot of someones got a lot of ‘splainin’ to do about a lot of things in the weeks and months ahead. We’ll be a better country when we start getting some truthful answers.

    Does passage of the Omnibus Spending Bill imply that the majority of the lame ducks in Congress were frequent-flyers on the “Lolita Express”.

    • TPTB-USA January 3, 2023 at 10:11 am #

      What is the logic behind the votes that allowed passage of the Omnibus Spending Bill?

      Were they frequent-flyers (or wannabes) on the “Davos Express”?

      Could the system be starved for money, and the repo window is flying warning flags which the little people can no longer see because it has been moved behind the curtain?

      Something stinks.

  2. Walter B January 2, 2023 at 9:54 am #

    When you talk about our system and the possibilities for justice, I think we all need to kook back in history in order to be able to perceive how the future will play out.

    I watched a Glen Greenwald podcast last night in which he discussed the Kennedy assassination. It was gratifying to see someone that was born yet understand the truth as those of us who were to see it happen before our own eyes always knew. Mamy of us have always seen through the lies and deception and knew what was done that day. Far too many Americans continue to fall for the Mafia Defense where those who are caught red handed in the commission of a crime simply deny, deny, deny, successfully obscuring the truth from those poor sots that require admission of the guilty and/or confirmation from some “official” authority.

    The successful coup of the American government that took place on 22 November 1963 was aided, abetted, and covered up by what has become known as the Deep State in collusion with what was known at the time as Organized Crime. Today these powers have been merged into one and have absorbed the rest of the federal government, just as the Kennedy brother feared. Where is America headed any why is it in a handbasket? I do believe that this year of 2023 will give us all a much clearer picture of that destination as it unfolds.

    • TPTB-USA January 2, 2023 at 10:17 am #

      I think we are entering new territory Walter.

      After the likes of the Twitter revelations, anyone that questions speculation and/or a conspiracy theory needs to be brought before some type of “Jan. 6th committee”, as a sufficient number of the DC residents have not only discredited themselves, but until proven otherwise, have discredited all of the residents of DC.

    • Beryl of Oyl January 2, 2023 at 10:24 am #

      Yes sometimes a younger person isn’t clouded by what they think they know from memory, and can help us get a clearer look, or confirm to us what we know.

      A co-worker and I were once trying to explain what Watergate was to a woman in her early twenties, who kept hearing that term on the radio because one of the prominent figures had died or something.

      Both I and my colleague realized at the same time that we did not have a good answer as to why it ever happened in the first place.

      • JohnAZ January 2, 2023 at 10:43 am #

        Ha, to your question.

        I was there and I remember that Watergate was a big deal to a lot of my wife’s female friends.

        They were incensed that Judge Sirica would interrupt their chain of soap operas every day for six months.

        It was another fiasco chain of Deep Staters trying to nail someone without implicating themselves in the same pile of s*&t.

        Was plausible deniability invented then? It runs DC today!

        • Beryl of Oyl January 2, 2023 at 10:50 am #

          “It was another fiasco chain of Deep Staters trying to nail someone without implicating themselves in the same pile of s*&t.”

          That’s what New York State government constantly tries to do to Donald Trump.

          Good way of putting it.

          • pyrrhus January 2, 2023 at 11:56 pm #

            It was a CIA op to get the Democrats’ list of prostitutes and clients for blackmail purposes…No one ever told Nixon or Congress until a year or two later…

          • justanotherguy January 3, 2023 at 12:59 pm #

            can’t forget the artful “limited hangout” invented by the liddy crew.

            that maneuver then is like comparing the Wright flyer to the space shuttle when looking at the level of public manipulation these days.

            “its easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled.”

            if we get over the hurdle of breaking all this into broad public awareness, the cascade of failing personal and public narratives will be a thing to behold.

            i’m not holding my breath.

        • Uncle Bob January 2, 2023 at 11:04 am #

          That was my mom’s big complaint, too. She was a Nixon voter anyway and she hated Democrats, but the big sin was “knocking my stories off the air.”

          If you believe G. Gordon Liddy, the book “Silent Coup” was the closest to what happened. One part that’s generally glossed over in the media is that golden boy John Dean was plowing a bimbo whose roommate was the madam of a prostitution ring that serviced Democrat politicians. Some incriminating evidence involving Dean ended up in the hands of someone from the FNC, as I recall, so the Wayergate break-in was really more about covering John Dean’s, uh, ass than it was Nixon’s, at least at the beginning.

          I’ve always thought the 18-minute gap in the tapes was where Nixon and maybe others discussed the Deep State’s activities and/or explained why they did what they did in case they needed evidence. To me, that’s the only reason Nixon kept those tapes around.

          • Jarek January 2, 2023 at 12:25 pm #

            There’s one tape of Nixon and Billy Graham in the oval office whispering about the Jews taking over. Whispering! One is reminded of Trump retweeting covid skeptics in the early days of so called pandemic – while standing like a cigar store Indian behind Birx and Fauci during the day.

            Read C.S Lewis’ “That Hideous Strength” to understand. These men were right to be afraid perhaps, but if so, what were they doing in office?

            Of course they could rightly respond, The People will never believe us and never accept the Truth. Yes. Democracy is hopelessly flawed. They only understood that once they were in? Or that’s only when they began to care?

          • TPTB-USA January 2, 2023 at 1:04 pm #

            “… while standing like a cigar store Indian behind Birx and Fauci during the day. ”

            Consider the contrast between Trump’s bewilderment and Biden’s decisiveness on anything covid. Whats that all about?

            Are you in the loop?

          • Alzaebo January 2, 2023 at 4:12 pm #

            If I remember rightly, that 18-minute gap was Hillary’s to entry ticket into the game. She was a young Nixon staffer, the intern who revealed the gap.

            Alzaebo— that’s not so. She was a young lawyer on the Staff of the Senate Watergate Committee. — JHK Admin

          • Islander January 3, 2023 at 1:40 pm #

            Confusion re Hillary may arise because she did start out as a Republican and a Nixon supporter.

            Time mag had this graf about her:

            “The daughter of a Republican father and a Democratic mother, in 1960 13-year-old Hillary Rodham canvassed for Richard Nixon on Chicago’s South Side. She also worked as a “Goldwater girl” in the 1964 presidential election — cowgirl outfit and all — and was elected president of the Wellesley Young Republicans as a freshman the following year. “I’m a heart liberal, but a mind conservative,” she wrote to a high school friend during college. By graduation, the young leader had decided to follow her heart, stepping down from her GOP post because of her views on civil rights and the Vietnam War and throwing her support behind Eugene McCarthy for President. In 1972, she campaigned for unsuccessful presidential hopeful George McGovern — with the help of her new boyfriend, Bill Clinton. ”

            Oddly enough, in her Commencement speech, in 1969, she mentioned “Before the days of the media orchestrated demonstrations, . . . ”

            Odd . . . Were demos against, say, the Vietnam war “orchestrated”?

        • Alfred January 2, 2023 at 12:11 pm #

          Yes, along with the phrase, “appearance of impropriety.”

          • Jarek January 2, 2023 at 12:27 pm #

            Read your Gracian. Appearances are often more important than realities. Sun Tzu too.

          Your wife’s friends should have been watching the hearings on the then new PBS! Watergate made the
          PBS channel. No soaps were interupted.

          LOL… I think I can empathize and might be incensed if all my laptop’s browser bookmarks were hacked and replaced with Jim’s bi-weekly political blather.

      • Paula D January 2, 2023 at 11:02 am #

        Indeed, the Official Story of that was a bit odd.

        Later on we found out that it was a Deep State takedown of Nixon, for some still unclear reason.

        The whole “blow their heads off in public” thing was wearing thin, after the open assassinations of the 60s, so they used Watergate to take down Nixon and the Iranian hostages to take down Carter.

        And the entire Mighty Wurlitzer combined with Congress and the Deep State (and now the “Justice system”) to take down Trump.

        • Uncle Bob January 2, 2023 at 11:06 am #

          Wrong. Carter was owned by the Left’s money men (see: Bert Vance, BCCI, etc.). He was an early attempt to castrate America, which was finally achieved under your heroes Obama and Biden.

          • CrusherMuldoon January 2, 2023 at 12:52 pm #

            Wrong! It’s Bert LANCE

          • justanotherguy January 3, 2023 at 1:08 pm #

            BCCI – anybody else remember adnan khoshoggi? from wiki (flawed mess that it is):

            “Khashoggi was born in Mecca, to Mohammad Khashoggi, who was King Abdul Aziz Al Saud’s personal doctor,[5] and Samiha Ahmed. Khashoggi’s sister was author Samira Khashoggi who married businessman Mohamed Al-Fayed and was the mother of Dodi Fayed.[6] Another sister, Soheir Khashoggi, is a well-known Arab novelist (Mirage, Nadia’s Song, Mosaic).[6] He was a paternal uncle of murdered journalist, Jamal Khashoggi.”

            poor Jamal just went to pieces – sins of the father, uncle et al….

            the elites watch each other’s backs until they don’t.

            a worthwhile project would be to get them all to betray them all, and off each other until it can no longer remain hidden.

            i think that project is occurring naturally, but not fast enough. their time is nearing its end because the universe abhors contradictions as much or more than power abhors a vacuum.

        • Beryl of Oyl January 2, 2023 at 11:30 am #

          The part we could not explain is why Nixon even believed he needed to resort to extraordinary measures in that election.

          He had it in the bag.

          • Paula D January 2, 2023 at 11:48 am #

            We don’t even know if Nixon actually approved the operation.

            What we do know is that it was botched so badly that it looked like a setup from the get-go.

          • Walter B January 2, 2023 at 12:44 pm #

            I’ve always believed the story that Howard Hunt blackmailed Nixon when he was in the can threatening Nixon with revealing “that Bay of Pig’s Thing” which when told to Halderman, sent him into a tirade.

          • Paula D January 2, 2023 at 1:45 pm #

            Yes, and here are two more weird things, Hunt’s wife being murdered by taking down an entire airliner, and Martha Mitchell being kidnapped to prevent her from talking.

            WTF? If we’d had the internet back then, we would know exactly what actually happened.

            But we didn’t. The Mighty Wurlitzer was unopposed, so they got away with it.

            And that is why they are censoring social media now, and want to make information sharing so difficult, even criminalizing dissent or heresy.

          • Paula D January 2, 2023 at 1:48 pm #

            And Walter B, we know that JFK wasn’t told about the Bay of Pigs beforehand.

            There is no doubt in my mind that Nixon was in on the planning before he left office. He was still buddy-buddy with those CIA dudes in the 70s.

            So if JFK didn’t know about the Bay of Pigs, then I can believe that Nixon didn’t know about Watergate.
            A different bunch of thugs took him down.

          • MaryQueen January 2, 2023 at 11:09 pm #

            But we have the internet now, and they still do these things, and it’s worse than ever, because more people believe the Official Story.

            So how is the internet helping us?

          • Islander January 3, 2023 at 1:46 pm #

            Per Russell Baker, Family of Secrets (2009), IIRC, Nixon was taken down by Bush Sr./CIA because he was getting too interested in seeing classified docs relating to Dallas.

            Great book.
            Baker was the first investigative journalist I know of who went after the deep state—but it wasn’t yet called that.

            He still has his website, WhoWhatWhy?, but seems to have been overtaken in some sense by people like Whitney Webb and Glenn Greenwald. Perhaps he is not the right fit with all of the videos people put out nowadays.

            He has definitely done very good work.

          • Islander January 3, 2023 at 1:47 pm #

            Sorry that should be Russ Baker

            Russell Baker was a columnist.

        All you or anyone needs to know about that day in Dallas is our President’s skull, brains and hair fragments were blown explosively backwards from his head over the trunk and even 30 feet beyond onto a motorcycle cop trailing as Jackie impulsively tried to gather all that gore up again and “put Humpty together again.”

        The evidence of shots from the front has been there from Day One at the very moment.

          Having walked the plaza and been up to the “snipers” nest, the grassy nole is where I’d have been. No question about it. I don’t care how thick of a commission book you publish. You walk that plaza and see how far the second floor window is, and how shockingly close the back nole fence is, and then try to grasp a guy using a poorly made carbine shooting a moving target from that far away window. You come to the conclusion pretty fast. No way.

      ” what has become known as the Deep State in collusion with what was known at the time as Organized Crime.”… boy, that sums it up perfectly! Read Whitney Webb (“Unlimited hangout”.com)… who, masterfully, connects the dots.

      Fletcher Prouty, who was there when the Deep State was organized, helping to coordinate the military and the newly formed CIA, called it the Secret Team.

      Of course, back then it was a team, a group of men in the military, CIA, and the government, colluding with each other to control the US government and overthrow disobedient governments abroad.

      Now it’s an entire league.

          =========

          Indeed. What’s in a name?

          There’s a financial talking head on CNBC named Tyler Mathisen. Peter said back in high school they would beat the shit out of any guy named Tyler or certain other names. I think Bruce was one of them. No other reason, just the pansy name.

          The opposite is knowing that a person is destined for success simply because he has an interesting name.

          Take this past Saturday. The Georgia Bulldogs (ranked #1 in the country) played against Ohio State (ranked #4). OS lead 41 to 24 at the end of the third quarter. Georgia came back to win the game 42 – 41. As far as I was concerned it was a given that this would be the outcome.

          Why? Because Georgia has a quarterback named Stetson Bennett IV. This very cool name alone accounts for the win. I especially like that he was the Fourth just as my brother Armand was the Third.

            Interesting theory, Q. Man. Can’t say I’ve ever heard that one before. Bennet has seemed to play over his head since winning the QB job last year. He was a walk on as a freshman who transferred out to a JuCo for one year before transferring back in again and eventually winning the job from a highly touted USC transfer, J.T. Daniels. I don’t think he’s regarded as an NFL prospect.

            Until I met your brother – virtually, of course, via his brother – “Armand” had always been – to my mind – some rich pansy, sipping California red wine.

            Now I recognize Armand III as being someone too goddamn sophisticated for this world. Someone who hot-tubs with supermonkeys and supermodels. Stay thirsty my friend.

            i remember the cartoons just prior, where superheros like superman were often caught in moral dilemmas, then the commercial break at the cliffhanger moment.

            oh for the days of looney tunes – utterly un-politically correct, completely just for laughs and the art of it…

            it was the formative moment of my young brain – what would superman do?

            answer – he always did the right thing. always.

            the next gen of cartoons was flat out degenerate – that irritating virus song from “Groovie Goolies” that got repeated every episode – and our idiot babysitter insisted on that shit *every fraking day*.

        The present logjam over selecting the House Speaker this week is yet another red flag ? waving in the breeze boldly telling us that the Republic is about to fly off the rails again.

        The historians state that an inability to elect a Speaker on the first balloting only has happened a handful of times in the history of the Republic. One of those times was in 1855 during the lead-up to the War for Southern Independence. The country was highly unstable at the time and is took way over 100 votes to produce a winner. That sort of gridlock sure does resemble the sort we have in DC today.

        I fully expect this union to come flying apart again while I’m still above ground. The manner may be a bit different and way less formal than the secession winter of 1860-61, but fly apart it will.

        The center cannot hold.

      No, it won’t.

      I believe that we are going to see a big increase, perhaps a doubling of deaths from suicide, overdose, violence, and “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome”. I think that Deagal report might have some validity.

      There have been more and more busts of Fentanyl laced pills and other CDS coming across the open border and causing great problems for our already taxed systems. As a local CERT Team member, I have taken many classes dealing with subjects such as Human Trafficking, dealing with “anxious young adults, and a 7-hour course on being an Adult Mental Health First Aider, all of which delved into growing and serious problems that are plaguing our communities.

      Those of us on the inside of our government and our systems are privy to much more than the average citizen is, though communicating to the public does not seem to be what we do much of at all. Guess I have a big mouth. Of course, broadcasting to a general public that will state that the death of a seventy-year-old person is too soon and tragic while teens through 50-year-old people dying from heart attacks out of nowhere is acceptable.

        Assisted suicide is now big in Canada. I assume it will be coming here – even for “mature” minors. Maybe they’ll get one or two Zoom counseling sessions to determine this is what they really want to do. That’s all it take for trannification after all.

        And once the kids on Lupron find out that they will now never be either men or women, perhaps they will make for the nearest Exit.

            Farmgal,

            Your analogy is spot on and make me tear up. Our dog is 16 and at death’s door. Kidney failure. We have been getting her weekly sub-cutaneous shots of saline plus vitamins for a year now. I got the three year rabies booster six months ago as required by law. But the administrators at the vet office started to hassle me about the other vaccines. I had them mark her chart. No vaccines, She’s dying. Don’t bother her parents. I was livid.

      We will see another massive uptick in excess mortality from the poison shots.

      We are currently at 20% (reported that is) in Germany, which is absolutely unprecedented.

      • mrs_saj January 2, 2023 at 11:54 am #

        Hi All,

        I’d like to talk for a moment about the all cause death rate being up by 20%. On its face this sounds extraordinary. From a statistical analysis perspective, this IS extraordinary. As has been mentioned on this blog before, this reality is something life insurance companies don’t even test or model for, its so off the charts, statistically.

        However.

        You knew there was a however, didn’t you?

        I want to emphasize, this is not a 20% death rate. THAT would be impossible to hide or ignore. This is a 20% increase in the death rate.

        What does that mean? What is the US death rate?

        Well, according to the CDC (ha ha, I can hear you laugh), the numbers for 2020 are the latest available and in that year 3,383,729 people died in the US. This equates to 1,027 people per 100,000 of the population. So, a 20% increase is 205 additional people per 100,000 for a total of 1,232 people per 100,000 of population. In aggregate, it is 676,745 extra people dying each year on top of the 3.3 Million.

        Pardon me for saying, but spread across 12 months and 50 states, this is a piece of cake for the government to hide and the media to ignore.

        The average person (who of course has taken on average two of these shots) will never see this nor do they want to.

        Some of the people who die are over 65 and thus their deaths are less noticeable because they are less statistically rare. Some of the people who die are criminals or drug addicts and their deaths are less traumatizing to the public so to speak.

        Ed Dowd has a theory that at the other end of the spectrum, if enough people are killed off at the peak of their productive careers, there will be market dislocations. The recent Southwest debacle may be a good example, I don’t know.

        I just think we are going to be stuck with unacknowledged higher death rates for a long time. Unless there is some breakthrough and the main stream media grows a conscience and starts digging into what is happening at life insurance companies and mortuaries.

        I still remember the week of July 19, 2021. I got into it with my neighbor (she’s a VP in corporate HR for a construction company) about the vaxxes. That was the first week, according to my information, that the vaxxes killed more people than the virus did. I will never forget the way she looked at me. Absolute incredulity. She quoted things from the CDC. I quoted from the CDC that 94% of Covid deaths had 2.6 comorbidities and only 6% of the Covid deaths were caused strictly by Covid. She denied the CDC had ever published such a thing. She sent me a ridiculous group of videos that day from healthaction .org about how wonderful the vaxx was. She had convinced her husband and two daughters (22 and 20) to all get vaccinated. We have stayed friendly, because I refuse to get into a war with my neighbor. She has NEVER come back to me and asked what the heck is going on, even though there is far more content available today in the alt-media about the vaxx related deaths and disability. This is who we are dealing with.

        I don’t fare well in predicting the future. The is just seems to be the beginning of a long slog as far as the adverse events from the vaxxes go.

          The fragility of human nature! From the Taoist Canon: Some one once asked a centipede how it managed its hundred legs. The centipede thought for a minute and then said, “I don’t know”. And not only did he not know, he couldn’t walk anymore either.

          Your neighbor and her entire family are fully vaxxed by her insistance. She can’t afford to contemplate such things and is in denial. My sister (fully vaxxed) had covid twice in 2022 and three other viruses in quick succession since November. She is always sick. I suspect she is going to become so run down if this continues that a minor virus is going to carry her off. I don’t mention things like impaired immune systems to her, as it’s too late to do any good and would just be cruel. She keeps herself carefully ignorant, and I suspect many of those who fell for the vaxxes are reacting in a similar fashion.

          • mrs_saj January 2, 2023 at 2:13 pm #

            Sorry to hear about your sister. The thing that boggles me is these people can at least stop taking the shots. And maybe they have stopped. The uptake on the 2nd booster (4th shot) is much lower than the other shots.

            But why don’t they say anything? Why aren’t they asking public questions about how to detoxify? The detransitioners, God bless them, are loudly calling out about how their transitions weren’t the solution they thought they’d be. These folks are trying to save others from making the same mistake.

            Exactly, Draupnir. Total denial of the truth is the only option for the vaxxed. Especially for those who forced it on their own kids.

          • MaryQueen January 2, 2023 at 7:39 pm #

            2 of my sisters are constantly sick now. Every time I talk to either on the phone, they have a deep, croaky voice but you know, if they hadn’t gotten the jab it would be MUCH worse.

          • MaryQueen January 2, 2023 at 7:39 pm #

            Yeah I don’t say anything to mine, either.

            What would be the point?

        • Paula D January 2, 2023 at 2:06 pm #

          Thank you for that, Mrs. Saj. I read it out loud to my husband. I

          We were talking the other day and he said to me that it doesn’t actually seem like a lot more people are dying. And people are still having babies.

          But as you say, the numbers are not actually that big and spread out over an entire population and a 3,000 mile wide country, and who is going to notice?

          Like Dimitri Orlov said about the massive drop of population in Russia in the 90s, people are always dying and babies are always being born.
          Why would you notice that more people are dying and fewer babies being born?
          You wouldn’t. And we aren’t.

          • mrs_saj January 2, 2023 at 3:11 pm #

            Paula D,

            You are helping me understand an important point. Statistical significance is not the same as noticeability and I should quit conflating the two.

          • Jarek January 2, 2023 at 5:47 pm #

            This is a point I’m always bringing up with the ladies: Statistics matter. He said, she said, your friends and family – all of that is not going to take the place of statistics.

            You may be unusual and thus have unusual friends and family. Another bomb: Most people aren’t “normal”, normal being an abstraction – but an essential one.

          • Suburban_elk January 2, 2023 at 6:42 pm #

            My experience is that more people are dying, by a lot. Some of these deaths are being attributed to alcoholism, but they are organ failure and I suspect that it is from the injections.

            People are noticing and don’t want to (notice).

            And it’s a cruel situation, because talking about it doesn’t help. It’s like pretending is the best option.

          • MaryQueen January 2, 2023 at 7:41 pm #

            Jarek, I have been quoting stats since day 1. And I run into countless MEN using anecdotal accounts.

            Stop already. You sound increasingly unhinged.

          • Suburban_elk January 2, 2023 at 9:55 pm #

            It will be nice if we don’t have to choose, whether patterns are perceived statistically or anecdotally.

          • mrs_saj January 4, 2023 at 4:32 pm #

            I do think statistics matter. And I know a lot of people on this thread absolutely refer to stats. As do i. And let’s not forget, statistics can be manipulated, too. I’ve read some really imbecilic articles about x% of the Covid deaths in New Hampshire are vaccinated and (100-x)% are unvaccinated, so let’s draw conclusions. And I laugh because the article doesn’t tell us what percentage of people in New Hampshire got vaccinated. So duh, there’s no conclusions to draw unless we can see how the death results differ from the New Hampshire population at large.

            But we must also use our anecdotal experience as well. I only know of one person in my acquaintance who “died suddenly”. And I know of one person who was absolutely killed at the hospital by the idiots there following the federal protocols of a ventilator and remdesivir. Other people know a dozen or more folks in their circle who have died suddenly or by design. I learn a lot by listening to others talk of their own experience as well as by reading studies that all of your think are interesting.

            We are expanding our knowledge base together.

        • Paula D January 2, 2023 at 2:09 pm #

          The next comment is about the war in Ukraine.

          Here is something amazing. They are managing to keep the number of dead Ukrainian soldiers secret from the Ukie population!

          You wouldn’t think that would be possible, but they don’t publicize it, they tell the families they are MIA instead of KIA, and the bereaved families are kept from comparing notes.

          The same thing is probably happening here, with the dead mercenaries.

          Same as the vax deaths.

          • draupnir January 2, 2023 at 4:09 pm #

            The difference being that I don’t really care about dead mercenaries. They have no business getting involved, and are being paid for the risks they take.

          • Lyndy33 January 2, 2023 at 5:11 pm #

            How many American Special Forces ‘Advisors to the Ukraine’ are actually there in country? No way of knowing with things the way they are.

          • Paula D January 2, 2023 at 6:40 pm #

            I don’t care about the dead mercenaries either, to tell you the truth.
            I see them in the videos and they seem like scumbuckets.

            But still, how many have died? We have no way of knowing.

            And yeah, we don’t know about the special forces either, or the HIMARRS operators.

            If Americans die and the media doesn’t report it, it didn’t happen.

            Douglas Macgregor: Underestimating Russia Is Bad Idea For The West, Tough Christmas For Ukrainians
            YouTube Video

            If this video is true, it substantiates some of your claims.

            If it is not true, why hasn’t it been removed?

            What is in it for Macgregor?

          • Paula D January 2, 2023 at 7:46 pm #

            They only remove true videos that go against the narrative, for one.
            So they yet remove it.

            For the second, it is my impression that McGregor is motivated by having character, which values truth and honor.

          • TPTB-USA January 2, 2023 at 7:54 pm #

            If it is not Macgregor’s words, then I would think that he would want it down as well.

          • TPTB-USA January 2, 2023 at 11:04 pm #

            The following is a discussion post:

            1. You are confusing “russian speaking” with “ethnic russian” so your premise is wrong from the start. Most people in the former USSR spoke Russian my dude, including in the Baltic countries. It’s called an official language, look it up.
            2. Of course protecting the ethnic Russian (not Russian speaking, actual Russians) was a pretext but the fact is Ukraine did discriminate against these people. They are real people, millions of them and that’s what you fail to understand. They chose Russia because it was the lesser of two evils. And they are not only Russians, they are also Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians even, Gagauz, Rroma, etc. These people were discriminated against constantly by the “democratic” authorities from Kiev and used as meatshield against the Russian separatists. Would YOU want to be part of Ukraine when Ukraine’s president incites to violence against you?! And these people didn’t want to be in USSR and then Ukraine, they were taken as war spoils after WW2.
            It’s super annoying to see western people (maybe like yourself) regurgitating mainstream media opinions and giving lessons to us, eastern Europeans who are living these events and are more aware of the situation.
            I need to do my research? Really? I did, it’s called university and I took my “reseach” aka studying history very seriously. Fun fact for you: Novgorod, the first ever Russian state is today in Ukraine…but by all means, continue to lecture me on the ethnic composition of the region…what do I know, only 10 years of university and post grad studies and the fact that I live next to Ukraine.

            **

            I suspect that the majority in the West that support the war in Ukraine, are nothing more than a bunch of twitter ninnies.

          • justanotherguy January 4, 2023 at 1:30 pm #

            TPTB-USA – a lot of what you say is accorded visibility in the minsk accords. i vowed not to type a thing or open my mouth on this subject until i had some understanding of the greater context.

            it is good to see a well informed subject matter expert weighing in, thank you.

            re: minsk accords, it looks like merkel from the start agreed to germany as a guarantor of those accords, in order to delay a reckoning while the ukr grift was growing and making ties to the uk and usa, allowing the neocons in both uk and usa to box in possible action to what we see now – continuing the fight to the last drop of ukr blood.

            any comments on the bad faith participation in minsk agreements, or the specifics of the grift and its visibility from that side?

            FWIW: An assessment from both perspectives.

            Gravitas Plus: Did NATO push Ukraine into war?
            YouTube Video

            From my perspective the Minsk Agreements could have been used by the West as an off-ramp. Cohen, Black, and Chomsky promoted this idea.

            Then one can argue that comments by the West were the trigger that prompted Putin to act.

          That is, I understand the material presented, but I don’t see why it is preceded by “however.”

          BTW, it is the excess death rate in the young—working-age people—that has the insurance cos spooked.

          • mrs_saj January 4, 2023 at 4:46 pm #

            Islander,

            To be clearer, I should have said, “However, statistical significance to the life insurance companies does not mean it is noticeable to the average Joe.”

            That was the overall point I was trying to make. We are experiencing an unprecedented increase in our country’s death rate and yet the citizenry (or half of the citizenry as least) seems contentedly oblivious.

            My apologies for the confusion.

            But a Man arose who crushed the Weimar deviants, those behind them, and those who defended them (antifa) and drove out the Carpetbaggers and those behind them – the International Bankers. And then? Then he enacted the economical miracle of Nazi Germany.

    It reminds me of Hillary and her 11 plus hours of testimony (shouldn’t it be ovarimony?) to alleged seasoned prosecutor Trey Gowdy, in which he skillfully managed not to ask her one single thing of substance, and his hair looked great the whole time.

    It took an unspoiled local reporter in New Hampshire to ask and get an answer to one direct question, to actually expose her in any way over the pure evil surrounding the Benghazi attack.

    She told the families the lie about the Youtube video.

          Like most shysters, Gowdy had the gift of gab, but he proved to be a poser when it came to being a crusading Congressman in search of the truth. For a time he tried to portray himself as “Mr. Smith goes to Washington” but in the end he decided he couldn’t take the heat and so he ran over to FOX News to cash in his chips and become a commentator.

          He has been about as successful at that as he was at getting Democrats sent to prison.

        A beautiful mind. Most people’s are so ugly. One poster wrote: All wars are resource wars. How very ugly, but do I say there is no truth there? No. But I protest the absolute nature of the statement, as did Sayyid Qutub in his seminal book, Milestones. To say the Islam conquered the world out of greed is to deny Allah, the Prophet, and the Koran.

        Jarek’s corollary: All marriages are resource marriages. Same caveat. Apparently, according to the pundits, about 10% of women are capable of seeing men as something more than just a piggy bank and a sperm donor.

          Your view of relationships is really sad and speaks to the reason you are single.

          While I elected to remain single, it was a choice. I had a few long term relationships and I was the bigger breadwinner in all of them, and I absolutely saw the men as great companions, and neither of us really cared who made more money, etc.

          But then, I’m not a materialistic person. I suspect you are, otherwise you wouldn’t be so obsessed with it.

          • Jarek January 2, 2023 at 9:25 pm #

            No you’re the one making a big deal about money. I ask why women make such a big deal about it because nearly all of them do. I know it’s human biology, but it’s sad that people can’t overcome it when it ceases to apply. Men don’t care, but we are strongly programmed in other ways.

            You must have sought out men that you could have power over. Also men who wouldn’t touch you much – gays and bisexuals as you mentioned before. When they tried to – what was the expression you used – pfft, later. Not very nice. How long could such a thing have lasted?

          @ Jarek:

          Like it or not, marriage is a serious business. It’s purpose is the procreation of children and raising children to capable and well principled adults. Each child requires at least a 20-commitment, as well as a lifelong commitment, though to a lesser degree once the child is independent.

          Due to the very serious nature of marriage and the very high level of responsibility required, both men and women need to think pretty hard about the suitability of the prospective spouse–who will be the father of your children or the mother of your children, as the case may be.

          Financial stability and responsibility certainly enters into this evaluation. You would not, for example, go to work for a company that didn’t manage financial (and other matters) prudently. You’d go to work for a company with a good track record. The same with a business partnership. (And marriage is, at one level, a business partnership.) One consideration in choosing a business partner is whether they are adequately capitalized for the enterprise. Marriage will likewise make some serious demands, money-wise. You’ll want to think about whether the prospective spouse is adequately capitalized for the marriage enterprise–or at least promises to be, due to strength of character.

          Obviously, many other factors enter into selecting a spouse, but the financial angle cannot be neglected. All this would be very clear to you if you had a daughter.

        • Paula D January 3, 2023 at 11:23 am #

          Jarek, imo your problem with women is not that you don’t make much money. It seems to be your view that human relationships are a battle, and your determination to win each interaction with other human beings. Most people don’t look at everyday innocuous interactions as win/lose situations, but you seem to.

          It is merely annoying on a comment thread, but I can’t imagine how horrible it must have been for your girlfriend to have to deal with your need to win every conversation, your tendency to bring up past fights again, your spontaneous sniping and your non sequitur attacks on unrelated subjects.

          I don’t know what ”pundits” you listen to, but their characterization of women is beyond laughable. In any case, you and your fellow incels can mutter to yourselves on your We Hate Women sites, but your attacks on the women here are missing the mark, because there are no women here who look at men as piggy banks and sperm donors, fyi.

          • Anthea January 3, 2023 at 9:59 pm #

            @ Paula D:

            If you look at the overall pattern, Jarek’s views about women and marriage are rationalizations for his being a decidedly undesirable choice as a spouse or life partner. His reasoning is that, “Women are not interested in me because they are grasping and materialistic.” The corollary to this is that men with jobs, wives, families, and adult responsibilities are slaves to women. So he pretends that he refuses to be a slave to women, when what’s actually going on is that he refuses to get a job, make something of himself, and assume adult responsibilities, when by doing so (in other words, by growing up) he could become a contender in the marriage market. Women find him undesirable because he’s a child who refuses to grow up.

            A number of years ago, one of my daughter’s male friends from high school (then in his late 20s), asked one of his female co-workers at Dollar General for a date. The girl (perhaps unkindly) replied, “You’re not really ‘datable.’ You have a part-time job at Dollar General, you live at home with your parents, you don’t have a car or a driver’s license, and your mom drives you to work.”

            My daughter’s opinion was that, however unkind the girl’s words were, it was something her guy friend needed to hear.

            This is, broadly speaking, Jarek’s predicament. And instead of improving himself, he likes to rail against women’s tendency to be selective in these matters–preferring to date responsible adults–and ascribing this preference to females being greedy and grasping.

            But, like it or not, most women don’t go shopping for a husband down at the rescue mission. Some men are beneath consideration in such matters. It appears that Jarek is one of them.

            Thank you Ant for setting Paula straight: It’s because I don’t have money. If I did, I could have just about anyone.

            Your “antidote” about the dollar store nails: She said no to him because he worked in a dollar store – just like she did! Now if he was manager, maybe, right? As usual, you make my case for me.

            Paula: Thank you for your idealism, but you are obviously not reading Anthea very closely. She has said that men should not get to see their children at all after divorce unless the ex-wife allows it. Sperm donors.

            Now get this: She believes in small government too! You need a strong oppressive state to keep fathers from their kids, right?

  13. PeteAtomic January 2, 2023 at 10:47 am #

    Hi Jim. Thanks for the blog this morning.

    Sadly, I believe you much, much too optimistic.

    You aren’t going to be getting many answers. Moreover, you won’t find any justice.

    The few forthright representatives of the “People” will perhaps churn out a few admissions from various unelected bureaucrats about their misdeeds. Sure.

    However, then what?

    The US public has become a golem, remade in the mass psychotic formation by a State Media which is 110% controlled by various US Intel agencies.

    In other words, the “People” don’t give a shit. The sane and otherwise non-malevolent are fewer, while deranged narcissism grows yearly.

    For example. Get on Twitter. You can see it in real time. One of these admissions of malevolent action comes out publicly, and those who support the Party of Chaos continue cheering. And look– it happens on the other coin of the Uniparty, as well.

    So., I don’t know what the answers are. A societal collapse would certainly “reset” everything: With the destruction of almost everyone past the age of 70, and many under the age of 10.

    That’s not a real solution.

    Perhaps a re-ordering of the political union on North America– with people self-segregating to areas of more or less liberty. I don’t know.

    • Hereward the Woke January 2, 2023 at 12:14 pm #

      I keep on coming back to the quote about things continuing until they no longer can. No individual can save us. Things will indeed continue until the Dems and DS wreck the whole system and take themselves down with it. Then – if we’re lucky – we can build something better.

      • Wizard of the Saddle January 4, 2023 at 5:52 pm #

        Sadly, our only hope seems to lie in the failure of the Republic and the utter collapse of the DS power structure. Only then will their death grip on our society be removed.

        You know the country is well and truly beyond redemption when vast numbers of its citizens have reached such a conclusion.

    • Jarek January 2, 2023 at 1:26 pm #

      Now draw the only possible conclusion: Democracy is contraindicated. Let these animals vote? Are you fucking kidding me? They are stupid and ugly – even if not overtly or covertly evil as some are.

      By way of explication (where did I get that word? The jinn just gave it to me): One poster here is wildly idealistic. Yet at the same time they (lol!) think that matter is everything and that all wars are resource wars. If matter is everything a la Marx, then war is the only sane thing to do. Thus their philosophy contradicts itself in its very essence. Marx was consistent at least, but it falls apart when he thinks any kind of worker’s paradise can be achieved. Why shouldn’t the workers just war amongst themselves in order to get control over the most matter once the owners are disposed of?

      • PeteAtomic January 2, 2023 at 2:08 pm #

        The idea of “progress” is limited by the fundamental realities of human nature.

        There will never be a “paradise” on Earth, for anyone. Unless God wills it.

        Peaceful solutions to political problems ought to be attempted first. So, yes. Vote. The interference on the Public by both State Media devices, and the malevolent role of university education– has been a thumb on the collective scale in public opinion.

        There definitely is a war. It’s an information war. We must be info-warriors (to steal a phrase from Mr. Jones). So. It’s also a spiritual war.

        The State is very good at handling shooting wars. Be careful with that in consideration of societal change. Well. The US may not be so good at shooting wars after 20+ years of Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. I wonder about the morale of the US military. If the populace had a true uprising, it’d be interesting to see how many in uniform would join in. ? I don’t know.

        We need an attempt at a Constitutional Convention, first. Peace first.

    I think the answers to a lot of your questions depends on the power of the Senate and White House on the five or six, maybe more of the RINOs in the House. All the changes desired depends on whether those folks are more concerned about their own futures as related to the future of the Deep State. Washington, DC is one sick puppy!

    I want to talk more about government controlled media without getting too meandering, specifically Netflix.

    Netflix started out as a more convenient way for people who couldn’t get out to Blockbuster easily, to watch movies.

    It changed and went all online.

    People started noticing in recent years, especially during the lockdowns, how little they were actually offering to watch.

    They also started spending quite a bit on producing content.

    When people like the Obamas and Prince Harry started to get hired, and there didn’t seem to be enough profit to pay them from, I know very little about business but it should have clued anybody in that they had hidden sources of funding, and the US government was probably involved with that as well as Twitter and the rest.

    Notice right after the Obamas got involved was when Netflix dipped a toe in the waters of child pornography with that Cuties film.

    I could have some details wrong about some of this because I hadn’t watched any Netflix up until recently.

    So, Netflix, CIA, propaganda outlet to push globalism. Also smart TVs spy on you.

      Beryl, Money is at the root of it all – something I haven’t really understood until recently. How is it that the thugs of antifa always have money to turn up everywhere when it’s plain that none of them work? How is it that Hunter Biden sells his “paintings” for vast amounts of money? How is it that piles of bricks are delivered to street corners for the benefit of rioters? How do politicians get rich on their salaries?

      Catherine Austin Fitts has often correctly pointed out that this country is being run as a criminal enterprise. The proof is in the theft of our money, which disappears into a black hole of non-accountability. I don’t know how we can fix this, short of returning to the state our host has predicted for us – a return to living conditions of the early 19th century at best. That’s a steep price to pay but we may pay it whether we agree or not.

      • Beryl of Oyl January 2, 2023 at 11:36 am #

        Hunter didn’t paint those things. It takes some skill to master that, even if you don’t like the stuff he did with it.

        Try blowing ink through a straw and see if you can get anything other than one big splotch.

        Yes, Hunter has a way with a straw, but he has never applied himself to anything at all in his entire like, except not applying himself to anything.

        • Paula D January 2, 2023 at 11:44 am #

          lol, good point, Beryl.

        Rowdy Piglet,

        Check your bible, the love of money is the root of all evil. Big difference. Money is a medium of exchange and a store of value during our time on earth. Evil (the devil, some may call it) resides in people’s hearts.

        The second amendment version of this is guns don’t kill people, people kill people.

        For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. Berean …

        Hitler painted, Hunter does not? Sad – they are pretty good, as was Hitler’s. One would like to believe he is good at something besides degeneracy.

        He is good at that. In contrast, poor Carlos Danger sent dick pics to underage girls with a lampshade on his head.

      And how did a used book online salesman get so rich?

      And how does Pornhub make billions?

      Thanks for bringing this up, Beryl.

      I had noticed all of what you say and when I read the Obamas were involved, I ended my subscription. I was already disappointed with their content. All the series are dark murder mysteries usually involving grisly crimes performed on women and children. Yuck. No thanks.

      And then the Cuties thing. I was already gone by then, but I convinced a few other people to leave. They also noticed the content really had tanked.

      It was way better when they were just a hub for renting movies. Now they make them, and who knows what programming is involved.

      Again, no thanks!

      The biggest ‘tell’ IMHO that they are really pushing a way of thinking on the public? The rash of superhero series and movies – which is the only thing that dwarves the depressing serial killer/murder mystery series and movies.

      That’s for a reason! Americans already have a weird sense that some hero is going to save us, so sit back and do nothing. We have that mindset in part because of popular culture, IMHO.

    • mrs_saj January 2, 2023 at 12:09 pm #

      I have never been interested in Netflix as a subscription service, although I do watch their stock. I think you have the general story right. They have raised their prices a few times over the years much to the consternation of their subscribers.

      I don’t know much about any of their series or movies, so I don’t understand many pop culture references. Oh well.

      I don’t know about government funding of Netflix, but I too noticed a shortage of things to watch with video on demand. About 5 years ago there was a wonderful independent video store near my home. They had thousands of DVDs, including film noir, foreign, music videos, new releases, etc. It was always crowded around dinner time especially on weekends. Eventually I started noticing fewer customers and fewer people working there until they finally went out of business. At the same time my current computer doesn’t even have a DVD drive, and I’m hoping my old one doesn’t give up the ghost. We had a few decades of freedom from the tyranny of the big 3 networks and Hollywood studios, and now everything is becoming concentrated again. Don’t get rid of your DVD player or computer with a DVD drive! Also, there are other video on demand players beside Netflix and Prime, such as Criterion that feature a broader array of offerings.

      FWIW, I read an article this weekend about the same concentration taking place in book publishing where a handful of companies publish a large percentage of books, and that many mid and lower level publishers that nurture up and coming authors have been pushed out. The result is that many authors like movie studios concentrate on blockbusters and sequels, and even talented authors are not encouraged or allowed to try something new.

      • Jarek January 2, 2023 at 1:54 pm #

          A lot of old but not that old work is nearly impossible to find.
          I read a tweet from actor James Woods about movies on cable and commercials, and I thought I knew what he was talking about, becase when they used to put old films on television they were full of commercials; but it is worse now on cable.

          I tried to watch a film from the 1970s that I had missed. There were commercials literally every five minutes. It was impossible to watch.

    The Jan.6th Cmte had several goals. The overriding one was to increase the power of those on the committee, obviously. These people are politicians. A second goal was to further attack Trump. The Deep State must continue attacking him.

    However, the underlying goal was this. To send a message to the 90% out there. You fuckers can run rampant in LA, or Minneapolis, or Denver… or wherever, we in government don’t give a shit if you do that… but if you come to the center of the power– and riot on the grounds of where we work– we are gonna put your ass in federal prisons, to the maximally allowable time under the law.

    The Jan.6th cmte was a testament of the hatred & disgust of “the People” that our representatives have towards it.

      But the political prisoners they are holding are not in prison yet. They haven’t even had a trial. They are still in Washington, DC jail.

      I think that Putin brought their plight up one time, in answer to the propaganda the US puts out about “political prisoners” in Russia.

      They usually bring up Nalvany, who is in prison for embezzling money from a French corporation, as an example.

      Meanwhile, men languish in horrendous conditions in the US for the crime of “parading without a license” or “trespassing” (on public property).

            And it took an hour for him to kill all of them, as we know from the phone calls they were making, desperately asking for someone to save them.

            But in Sandy Hook we are told that one skinny kid, carrying 300 pounds of weapons and ammo, managed to kill 26 people in 5 minutes, so dead that there were no attempts made to save them or even transport them to the hospital.

            Quite a difference.

          • MaryQueen January 2, 2023 at 8:00 pm #

            Great points, Paula.

            Could the difference be that the kids in the Uvalde situation were mostly hispanic, or poor?

          • Paula D January 3, 2023 at 11:30 am #

            No, I don’t think so, Mary.

            The difference was the internet. The Official Story was that a crazed man took a gun and killed kids so we need gun control, same as Sandy Hook.

            But this time we had cell phone videos and parent testimony and the story of the cop whose wife was in that classroom (still alive) who was stopped and disarmed by the other cops.
            Because……”No one was in charge” (Official Story).

            So they tried the whole “We need gun control” line, but there were too many outraged citizens showing the truth, so they dropped it.

          • Paula D January 3, 2023 at 11:32 am #

        “the second Biden got in they put up prison-like barriers with razor wire around the WH.”

        That was shocking.

        I was and am not sure what I think of that—what I think the real purpose was.

        But I think its purpose is basically a stage prop, to reinforce the “insurrection” narrative. To make people act like they believe that ridiculous story, even if they don’t.

        Making people pretend to think something or just keep their mouths shut is just about as good as actually making them believe it.

        Look at how useful it is that everyone pretends to believe the Dallas and 9/11 narratives, even though everyone knows that basically no one believes either one.

        We are very, very deep into “Emperor’s New Clothes” territory. We need a “child” to blurt out the truth in a very public space.

        In some way Trump was playing that role. That is why they had to shut him up.

        Particularly now that Leggio Hispania & the blood of Cortez are awakening.

        The Party of Chaos are losing another demographic leg.

    Wow. This is a great sum-up of some of the fuckery our ruling overlords have engaged in, especially in the last two years. It gave me a glimmer of hope.

    I would send this to my Congressman if I didn’t know he is functionally illiterate. Maybe his staff can read.

        Every year my husband and I make our own predictions about the coming year.

        Yeah, not so much.

        This year mine is heavy on the “the war in Ukraine is going to escalate and we’re all going to Die!” We’ll see if we’re around next year to read them.

        Yes, I saw that. Putin has already pledged to go after the real perpetrators and not just the idiots on the ground who do the dirty work. DC is apparently daring him to do just that. The mindset in DC has gradually changed to nuclear war is winnable and might be their only option, so I think atmospheric “testing” will likely become a reality again in 2023.

        • Not_GeorgeT January 2, 2023 at 12:31 pm #

          Putin, embodying the Russian mindset: if the fight is inevitable, strike first.

          Massive EMP bursts would not vaporize very many. They would toss the world back into the 18th or early 19th century at minimum. Essentially hastening the course of events in a major way.

    Our host offers a perfect compilation of our list of grievances. I suspect they will all be addressed and taken note of, but I also think it’s quite possible that no action will be taken against the guilty and nothing will change.

    After all, if we consider what is known (and has been known for years) about the Kennedy assassination, 9/11, etc., the information is available and could have resulted in prosecutions and punishments, but it has not happened. We all know why that is.

    Is there some point at which the outrages reach critical mass and some equivalent of a nuclear reaction takes place? If it’s possible, the events of the last ten years should be sufficient to bring it about. If not, I’ll have to assume that the Deep State is so entrenched, and the public so debilitated, that there is literally nothing “they” can do to us that we will not simply accept.

      That’s why Putin doesn’t allow gay pride parades: Social morale. The people attack them and then the police show up and help the People by arresting the gays. A morale builder instead!

      They used that same gambit with 9-11 “investigations”.

      They charged a dupe named Zacarias Moussaoui with conspiracy, telling us he was the 20th hijacker (before his trial), and then using his upcoming trial as a reason to withhold evidence from the investigators.

      So he was convicted in the media before trial, but in the name of a “fair trial” evidence was withheld from the public.

      Sweet scam.

  22. AlD666 January 2, 2023 at 10:59 am #

    I beg to differ with fantasyland conspiracy theories. The idea that the new Republican House leadership will waste taxpayer money investigating some guy’s laptop because he happens to be related to the President is chicanery of the highest order. Hunter Biden was a drug addict trying to find money wherever he could; smearing him to get at Biden is pathetic. Vaccinations saved lives. When Trump was President, he gave tax breaks to billionaires. By contrast, Biden is working for each of you who comments on this blog. As for January 6, it’s quite clear by now that Trump hoped to keep the election from being certified so that he could somehow pull off a coup. The election wasn’t stolen; he lost fair and square. Dozens of courts found that his crazy enablers had no proof of chicanery; the idea of a stolen election was based on the false assumption that somehow early voting is suspect. It’s not; it allows more citizens to cast their ballots without waiting in long lines on election day.

    As for Kennedy, it’s not especially clear what Kennedy would have done differently than LBJ; we like to think he would’ve avoided Vietnam escalation, but that’s hypothesis. He was a cold warrior, just like LBJ. The idea that MacArthur enlightened him and he would’ve allowed South Vietnam to become Commie is far-fetched. We’ll never know. What we do know is that LBJ, in Kennedy’s name, managed to pass needed legislation that benefits all of us. Civil rights, voting rights, Medicare.

    I too like the Feynman quote, but ‘reality’ isn’t what any of us pretend it is. I suggest many of you read Kurt Andersen’s Fantasyland about Americans who live in a post-truth world where they make it up as they go along, which pretty much describes the conspiracy theories that rely on talk show blather and factoids that are either misinterpreted or completely bonkers.

    Good luck. Happy New Year.

      It wasn’t Early Voting™ that was a problem for us, it was the late votes at 2 am in truckloads that were 90% for Biden that made Biden’s vote count rise vertically in 4 states that all stopped counting votes at the same time.
      It was the evidence gathered in 2000 mules by geofencing that the mules were going to NGOs linked to Democrats. The same sort of evidence the DOJ used to get January 6 protesters ya know.

      The election wasn’t stolen; he lost fair and square. – AID666

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

      Hey AID, in the election in question I personally cast 2 fraudulent mail-in ballots anonymously, one each for Biden and Trump. The object was to prove it could be done, not to actually influence the election outcome one way or another.

      I have described here on this board a half dozen times exactly how I did it. I won’t bother to describe it again. It was soooo easy. It was obvious to me that a million others could easily duplicate what I did. Whether they did or not I couldn’t say. I even wrote to my county clerk (the woman in charge of the election in Middlesex Cty NJ) and told her what I did and how I did it and I challenged her to discover who I was and arrest me.

      I said I looked forward to jail time since I had/have a shit-ton of books I would never get around to reading otherwise. Needless to say I never heard another word about it.

    In that vein, I’m sharing this amazing substack post. The author created an in-depth chronicle in poem form on the covid hoax/fiasco with all the requisite research and links. Totally brilliant:

    Mistakes Were NOT Made:
    An Anthem for Justice
    by Margaret Anna Alice

    “The following poem was inspired by a conversation with Mike Yeadon. We have both independently noticed the increasing use of terms like “bungled” and “blunder” to describe the crimes against humanity perpetrated under the cloak of COVID. Even well-meaning people who share similar values and goals sometimes fall into this trap being set by those preparing their parachute jump from culpability.”

    Speaking of businesses that made a profit without visible means, and Disney providing entertaining Woke propaganda to indoctrinate the children…..

    My husband was brought up on the east coast and a couple of years ago he told me about a great amusement park his dad took him to called Freedomland. It sounded great. We looked it up and it was built by an ex-Disney employee in the most heavily populated area of the USA. It only lasted 4 years.

    Meanwhile, in LA, with a population 1/4 of the size of the NY area, Disney built a very expensive amusement park out in the middle of farm fields in Orange County. The electric bill to run that place must have been more than the total admission charges, imo.

    But somehow Disneyland flourished and grew, while Freedomland went broke.

    How? I think that there are some deeper pockets than Disney involved here.

      Well I’ll probably get trounced for this, but I have read a very credible-sounding account from an adult who was a sex-trafficked child and that DL is where they did a lot of their programming, grooming, schooling, etc. It was a horrific account.

      So if there was human trafficking that would account for how well it’s always done.

        I think you’re right about large entities with money.

        Look at the universities and their giant endowments. With those, they are able to dominate their local economies, snap up local real estate, support the Leftist project, support their foot soldiers, and print money as the management team plays in the markets.

        Note I haven’t touched on the enormous amounts of income they receive from alumni giving and federal money. Much of that is tax-free.

        So we get to Disneyland and the line of teenagers went around the entire park! I’m not kidding, it was insane.

    The Battle of Bakhmut purportedly has shaped up to be a major battle in this war in Eastern Ukraine, but it’s hard to find any video or battlefield reporting that one might expect in this age of instant communication. You can find more video from the Battle of Verdun in 1916 than you can find on Bakhmut. It seems the armies are dug in, like they were along the Marne outside Paris a century ago. (slugging it out with artillery duels) Why would this be? Panzers, helicopters, drones, and close air support with fixed wing aircraft, long ago made this sort of warfare obsolete. This is a strange war, nothing being quite what it seems.

    On CNN this morning one of expert guests, a retired US General, suggested that even tho Ukraine is winning on all fronts, hundreds of billions more in military aid will be required to secure final victory. CNN seems more like Zelensky’s agit/prop department than they do a US news gathering organization.

    • Beryl of Oyl January 2, 2023 at 12:04 pm #

      Speaking of Zelensky, I was looking a little bit into who he actually is, to try to understand more of what is going on.

      The media always goes along with the foolishness of showing the president poring over battle plans etc. as if he is somehow equipped to be making military decisions by himself.

      We don’t even get that silly over here.

      I still do not understand his personal motivation for wanting to stir up WWIII. I am aware of the deep and abiding hatred of Russia of some people in that part of the world, but I don’t see that as being a big enough motivation for anyone except a zealot, which her heretofore never appeared to be.

      People keep repeating that “Florida mansion” nonsense as if that could possibly explain things.

      From everything I have seen, he could have bought property over here before he ever ran for office.

      I did learn that before her went into performing arts, he went to law school.

      I don’t think law school is the same big deal in other countries as it is here, but it could be where he learned how to grift, if a Ukrainian didn’t just come by that naturally.

      I thought that someone doesn’t go through all the rigors of a presidential race just for some extra cash when they already likely were living very comfortably.

      I learned that he didn’t go through a typical campaign. He mostly just released a series of videos.

      He was politically aware before he ran for office, as his comedy shows often dealt with politics.

      That show of his, Servant of the People, he didn’t just act in that, he wrote it.

      It aired over there in 2015, which was after our government was finished with their coup or whatever, wasn’t it?

      Interestingly enough, it found it’s way to Netflix in this country in 2017.

            Have you noticed how short his arms are, from the shoulder to the elbow? Really weird.

            If he had more charm, he would make a great protagonist for some kind of play. Because of the current tensions and modern tragedy he represents—“El Yid.” Of course, in the future they can find someone like . . . Liam Neeson . . . to play him. A Jewish Liam Neeson . . .

      • Paula D January 2, 2023 at 2:41 pm #

        I don’t think that Zelensky knew what he was getting into. Much like Trump, he seemed to think that the president could make a difference.

        The coup was in 2014, so yeah, his show was after. He was elected in 2019.

        He was not hired by the US. The US backed Poroshenko. But Zelensky ran on a Peace With Donbass and Carry Out the Minsk Accords platform and he won with 72% of the vote, not counting the people of Donbass, who were not allowed to vote.

        I have put this here before, but I will do it again, because people are overwhelmed by propaganda and forget even recent history.

        “There was a breaking point early into Zelensky’s presidency where he and his team was made aware of the position of both president and parliament in Ukraine in the overall pecking order. The chiefly ceremonial transition of power was still in progress, coupled with nearly a month of relative calm devoid of street action by right-wing radical organizations, as they too reassessed whether they still had state backing or would be held accountable for past misdeeds.
        Suddenly, hostilities on the front-line with Donbas resumed, and with such ferocity that it spilled over onto the UN platform and threatened to bury the Minsk agreement there and then. Zelensky was basically called to the front with this provocation, which gave us the notorious exchange of him trying to dress down the military: “I’m 40-something years old and I’m the president — I’m not some shmuck.” The military told him to go fuck himself and that they would do what they want, that they do not answer to him. That much was obvious by infuriated statements made by his cadre on return to Kiev.
        Back in Kiev, Zelensky and his party of clowns attempted to push back by quickly formulating a law proposal, restricting the use of weapons on the front-lines to only be used in response. Needless to say, this stirred such a hornet’s nest that the proposal was scuttled before the ink had time to dry; perhaps someone was even made to eat the paper.
        That week it was made apparent to everyone that neither the president nor a parliamentary majority had any control over the military or security services. Protests by right-wing radicals erupted all over, with police supervision. Court-houses and government buildings were stormed, the president’s office was vandalized and the state appointed security detail responsible for “protecting” Zelensky abandoned their positions for the duration. The message was unequivocal — the nationalists are in control of all state organizations capable of projecting force and the political establishment is merely a figleaf on a military junta.
        Following this cold shower, team Zelensky reorganized the party apparatus who hadn’t even had time to warm up their seats, they rubber-stamped the advisory positions of prominent neo-Nazi figureheads to positions within both political and security organizations — presumably, for the people actually in charge to have more immediate access to their respective areas of responsibility. The only aspect that wasn’t flipped like a pancake was the conciliatory rhetoric coming out of Zelensky — in this, he was braver than his spokespeople who put on their brown shirts almost immediately.
        That is not to say that there weren’t nationalist tendencies within Zelensky’s party even on the campaign trail — it is my impression that Ukrainians in general, even when neither particularly radical or militaristic, are generally comfortable with ethno-nationalist ideology or, at best, downplay the significance of discriminatory or hostile ideas, symbols and statements to themselves.
        For eight years, the Russian information sphere was saturated with coverage of manifestations of Ukrainian neo-nazi ideology and always tried to bring in Ukrainian political analysts to explain their position. That position, without fail, almost always amounted to marginalization — deeds, images and statements were made by or depicted nobodies who held no power and did not represent official Ukraine, even when these nobodies were official representatives of Ukraine, advisors to the same or acting with the approval of Ukrainian officials. At most, manifestations of government approved neo-nazi ideology was labelled as “excessive” by Ukrainian political analysts, embarrassing not for the evil that it represented but for the negative impact it might have on PR.”

      • Paula D January 2, 2023 at 2:49 pm #

        Also remember that Zelensky was open to negotiations with Russia.

        The first negotiations were in Minsk, in early February. The SBU then killed their own negotiator!!!
        Blatant thuggery, ignored by the Mighty Wurlitzer.

        So then the second negotiations were in Ankara and they came up with a tentative deal.
        That is when Russia left Bucha, as part of the deal.

        Then Boris Johnson flew into Kiev to personally strongarm Zelensky into scrapping the dea.

        Then the SBU went into Bucha 2 days after the Russians left and slaughtered “Russian collaborators”, and the Mighty Wurlitzer started playing the “Russia did it” tune, and the whole west went along with it.
        Because they stupid.

        And Russia said “You are not agreement capable”, and carried on liberating Mariupol.
        And then moved on to liberating Donbass.

        Zelensky is following orders now, for sure. But I don’t think that he knew he was going to be following US/NATO orders when he ran.

        He had the backing of a powerful oligarch. But that oligarch has lost his wealth and power, under US orders, and has a US warrant out for his arrest.
        Just a little showing of power to make Zelensky know he had better do what they want.

        And then people personalize the whole damn war onto Zelensky as if he chose to do it himself.

        So now Hollande, Merkel and Poroshenko are all on record saying that the Minsk Accords were only meant to buy time for the US/NATO to arm and train an Ukrainian army and dig them in on Donbass territory.

        They never had any intention of carrying out the agreements, and they have now all confessed in public.

        Which raise a whole lot of questions. One of the justifications for putting women in US Marine & Army ground combat units is that warfare is not like it was at the Battle of Loos in 1915 or the Somme in 1916; somehow it has been sanitized and is more amenable to the ladies. But judging the few photos of the battlefield at Bakhmut it looks exactly like the Somme in 1916.

        Loos is where the British first shot canisters of poison gas into German trenches. People are worried about Russians deploying battlefield tactical nukes but I think it’s more likely that one side or another lobs a few phosgene gas shells into the opposing trenches; if that doesn’t work then the nukes will come out.

        • Paula D January 2, 2023 at 2:52 pm #

    I will be ecstatic if this new house can just get rid of the 87,000 IRS army they hired. I ain’t holding out hope for that either- I am reminded of all the promises to get rid of the ACA after Obama lost control of the Congress and that POS Supreme Court used some excuse.

    Our government is completely off the fucking rails. No justice, just unlimited criminal activity from the Bidens, Fauci, and the FBI.

            So the Official Story is that they were doing CPR at 1pm, but she didn’t die until 5pm?

      The American “voter” has always been ensnared in a Mommy vs Daddy dynamic.

      Ultimately, both mommy and daddy are on the same side, with one or the other being more willing to work with you and compromise, or willing to give assistance on a given issue.

      But make no mistake. They are working together to keep you in line, obedient, and minimally contented.

      What we had with Orange Guy was a temporary live-in Grandpa.

      Mommy and Daddy didn’t see it coming, but Grandpa got in the house and boy did the kids love him. Someone was actually paying attention to their grievances with mommy and daddy and telling it how it was: mommy is a vindictive whore with despotic tendencies, and daddy is a closeted fetishized cuck behind a wall of religiosity and puritanism.

      Grandpa knew how f_cked up and sick both of them are and Grandpa really enjoyed letting you know. He gloated in it and grew overconfident. He thought he could trust in Mommy and Daddy’s old friends from the neighborhood, and was oblivious to their machinations to keep him in check and ride him off to the sunset in heaven’s waiting room: Florida.

      Grandpa kept with the bombast and pull-my-finger-jokes to the delight of the kids. Yet, he was naive enough to trust mommy and daddy’s octogenarian doctor who worked with Mommy and Daddy to get the kids to resent Grandpa. They started to doubt Grandpa’s sense, but still preferred him to the alternative dysfunctional family arrangement.

      Alas, the kids really never have a say, and despite their opinion and their vote, Grandpa was sent packing to Florida.

      Mommy and Daddy never did forgive him. Even swearing out warrants for the precious Moments tchotchkes he pilfered from their curio cabinet.

      He still sends postcards, although the USPS refuses to deliver them.

        The only thing that can save us now from all these malformed and sickly life forms is a good-old Crazy Uncle or Aunt. And he’s not actually crazy, of course. He just looks that way to those who have wilfully untethered themselves from truth and reality. When you embrace the truth during insane times it makes you look crazy to all the deluded suckers. That kind of crazy has never looked so good.

        And also, getting some additional help from a few Black Sheep members of the family who never did like taking orders or living up to someone else’s expectations.

        Ultimately, most families are dysfunctional. They may not want to admit it but they are. But what else could you get from a collection of confused and gullible human beings with harmful tendencies that are easily led astray?

        That is NOT our true nature of course which is grounded in Spirit. But we were all sent down to this Penal Colony Planet to learn just how effed up we can get when we take our eyes off the Spirit ball and pretend we are something less.

    Consider the various rackets that are frequently mentioned and discussed here, including health, education, and the MIC.

    Now, why would we leave media out of this group? The answer of course is that we cant; the next question then is, how are profits to be generated in an organized scheme?

    Hence my favorite QED conclusion: duh. Media is based on advertising, which is driven by delivering viewership aka eyeballs. And what causes people to tune in? Ah, the good old venial sins.

    So, here’s the trick: create sufficient drama exploiting natural desires triggering wrath, envy, etc. Any writer, dramatist knows the game (Including of course our esteemed host).

    So who puts it up on the big stage, strutting and preening about during their moments of glory, providing bofo box office while keeping the masses enthralled, enraged, despondent, etc?

    As I keep saying, walk away. The fate of this country is no longer in our hands. It’s being determined on the other side of the world. All I can advise is stay as far away as possible from any segment that is dependent on welfare, ss, mic, finance, etc

    Old wine, shiny new bottles! You really have to marvel at how Jim ‘crafts’ his rantings. He has his checklist next to him:

    Deep State orchestrated 1/6-Check
    Hunter Biden-Check
    Ivermectin-Check
    The Party of Chaos-Check etc. etc etc

    Jim, hard to tell exactly when, but perhaps when he got off the Peak Oil kick, noticed a shift in his freakish audience, and like any good grifter, took advantage of the paranoid style in ‘merican politics and here we are with a good ol’ fashioned ‘merican circus show.

    Let’s go over a few things again for the slobbering hordes here who think they ‘really know.’

    1. Ivermectin and Hydroxy don’t work for the Rona. Numerous double blind studies on thousands have demonstrated this.
    2. Dumpy did nothing on 1/6 to quell the white trash party so Nancy P didn’t refuse the National Guard.
    3. Hunter Biden…while a pos, has nothing on Javanka and the rest of the Dumpy criminal crew.
    4. Funny how Jimmy fails to mention the fact that Dumpy, in light of recent tax docs, failed to pay taxes using illegal schemes.
    5. And let’s just ignore all of the video evidence and text messages to/from Mark Meadows.
    6.Right, the white trash was just in DC hoping to ‘peacefully assemble.’

    Sorry Jim, but you just suck. You lie about nearly everything. Just stop.

            Sweetie Pie, you can get the low-down on Ivermectin all by yourself, by acquiring Dr Pierre Kory’s book, The War on Ivermectin when it comes out next month. (Do come back with a detailed scientific rebuttal when you’ve read it.) Dr Kory is an Ivermectin expert and has saved many lives by using it for covid. He started the AFLD, whose doctors have successfully treated thousands of covid patients. The one thing that almost all the covid dead have in common is that they were not given available and appropriate early treatment.

            The book will include:
            (a) the overwhelming (but censored) scientific evidence for Ivermectin’s success in treating covid;
            (b) details of the criminal conspiracy by governments, publishers, health authories, Big Tech and others to censor true information on Ivermectin;
            (c) details of the personal and professional attacks, defamation, censorship etc. inflicted on Dr Kory himself for speaking the truth.

          He won’t read anything but officially approved sources.
          His overlords tell him that questioning Science™ is very, very bad.
          Science™ is pronounced by his betters (Dr. Fauci) and then becomes ”established” Science™.

          Also, medical treatments cannot be questioned. Once an official protocol is distributed to medical corporations, all doctors must follow it.
          Any doctor that does not bow to the protocol must be threatened with the loss of his or her job and/or license.
          Because medical Science™ is also a sacrament and heresy is not allowed.

          You may have learned last century that science is never settled and that science that cannot be questioned is not science.

          That is now outdated, just like human biology and the definition of ”vaccine” and ”woman”. Science is what your ruling overlords tell you, so shut up about it.

      Conclusions:
      Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally

            The Department of Justice is trying to prevent disclosure of 400 pages of sensitive documents on Hunter and Jim Biden’s dealings with China, Russia and Ukraine – by pretending they don’t exist.

            Colorado lawyer Kevin Evans sued the department in March after it failed to comply with his request for records on the Bidens’ dealings under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

            Evans, a FOIA expert, asked for documents pertaining to ‘any relationship, communication, gift(s), and/or remuneration in any form’ between the president’s son Hunter or brother Jim, and China, Russia or Ukraine.

            He said government lawyers first admitted in court to having at least 400 pages of ‘potentially relevant’ documents – but are now trying to get away with saying they can ‘neither confirm nor deny’ the existence of any records that match his request.

            You’re really bad at this you should quit while you only look ignorant and stupid.

            Donald J. Trump declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 income tax returns, a tax deduction so substantial it could have allowed him to legally avoid paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years, records obtained by The New York Times show.

            Although Mr. Trump’s taxable income in subsequent years is as yet unknown, a $916 million loss in 1995 would have been large enough to wipe out more than $50 million a year in taxable income over 18 years.

            So much for your leftwing hack expert.

            “Mr. Trump is a highly-skilled businessman who has a fiduciary responsibility to his business, his family and his employees to pay no more tax than legally required,” the statement said. “That being said, Mr. Trump has paid hundreds of millions of dollars in property taxes, sales and excise taxes, real estate taxes, city taxes, state taxes, employee taxes and federal taxes.”

    Here’s something that has been out there for awhile but I had not gotten around to reading. I was mostly concentrating on the vaxx and lockdowns.

    I don’t know how much of it is true, because I don’t believe that out State Department and George Soros care about corruption in Ukraine:

    “In other words, Hunter Biden’s boss and benefactor at Burisma Holdings is the same Ukrainian billionaire-oligarch who also claimed the position of boss and benefactor over Volodymyr Zelensky before he became Ukraine’s president.

    Kolomoysky Owns 1+1 Media Group

    Kolmoysky, who currently holds a net worth of $1.8 billion, making him the 1750th richest person in the world, owns holdings in metal, petroleum, and the media sector, where he has had a long history with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

    For years, Zelensky’s company produced shows for Kolmoysky’s TV network, 1+1 Media Group, one of the largest media conglomerates in Ukraine. Zelensky achieved national fame, portraying a president on a hit television sitcom called Servant of the People, which was broadcasted on a channel owned by Kolmoysky.

    In 2019, Kolmoysky’s media channels gave a big boost to Zelensky’s presidential campaign, while Kolmoysky even provided security, lawyers, and vehicles for Zelensky during his campaign. Kolmoysky’s bodyguard and lawyer accompanied Zelensky on the campaign trail as Zelensky was chauffeured around in a Range Rover owned by one of Kolmoysky’s companies.

    The Pandora Papers showed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his TV production partners were beneficiaries of a web of offshore firms created in 2012, the same year Zelensky’s production company entered into a deal with Kolomoysky’s media group, which allegedly received $41 million in funds from Kolomoysky’s Privatbank.

    Zelensky’s political rival, President Petro Poroshenko, commented on their connection during the campaign trail, “Fate intended to put me together with Kolomoyskiy’s puppet in the second round of the elections.”

    After Zelensky’s victory, Kolomoysky, who had spent the last few years living between Israel and Switzerland, returned to Ukraine to keep up his relationship with the new president, nominating over 30-lawmakers to Zelensky’s newly established party and maintaining influence with many of them in parliament.”

      Just another good ole boys club in another good ole boys place huh. Essentially Zelensky is a fabrication and a template. And so it definitely makes sense now that the war is really a media production and an emotional swindle. Very interesting connections, thanks for posting!

        The Ukrainians are dug in. Defensive trenches protected by artillery make Russian movement west difficult.

        It took years to prepare the zig-zag trenches for this shitshow. The Zelensky brand planned years in advance for all this.

          Wow I did not know that K-Chien re the digging of trenches over the course of several years. Though I did read somewhere that the Ukrainians have been fortifying Donbas ever since the 2014 revolution. All the weapons and arms producers must love this and probably have been invested in this for a long time too.

      @ Beryl of Oyl:

      Fascinating! So…. It sounds to me like 1) Ukraine gets billions in aid from the US, 2) Hunter Biden gets a nice cut of that, through his paycheck from Burisma, 3) Kolomoysky probably also gets a nice cut, 4) Kolomoysky needs to control the Ukraine government by placing Zelensky in the presidency, lest someone (such as Trump) starts to make inquiries about whose pockets all that US aid money is flowing into. Besides the 10% for the Big Guy.

      I’ll bet Kolomoysky is a central figure in the Ukraine money-laundering operation as a whole.

      • Paula D January 3, 2023 at 12:12 pm #

        Nope. He has fallen out of favor. Zelensky’s sugar daddy was removed by the US and Zelensky was forced to bow to the US/NATO instead.

    I always feel enriched by your positivity Mr. K but I must admit that I am not super enthused about this supposed Kevin McCarthy House of Representatives. He is also the same person who right after Jan 6 was checking into getting people kicked off twitter for one. He also supposedly told Liz Cheney that he was going to ask President Trump to resign. And basically Marjorie Taylor Greene who has sided with McCarthy has said there is no chance that the 14 thousand hours of video from the Capitol on Jan 6 will be made public. I’m kinda done with her too. But at the same time i do hope that there are some good things that will occur on the investigation front. Anyhoo, happy Monday!!

    • literofoyl January 3, 2023 at 5:09 pm #

      Any estimates on how many lost rounds of Votes will happen, before Kevin McCarthy removes his name for Speaker? After five rounds, the odds of getting the 218 magic number become very long (unless he offers to buy free dinner and drinks for the next week while the voting continues).

    Hunter Biden is a party animal and he could have sex with a flock of sheep on his laptop. So what?

    The chain of evidence for his laptop is nonexistent. Anybody could have put anything on the damn thing by now. The laptop will have no standing in a court of law.

    People will only believe what they want. Haters will hate the people who ignore will deny. From a legal point of view the laptop is worthless.

    So an adult playing with a full deck cant get their undies in a bunch because there is not point.

    Hunter never was elected to anything. There are no voters hunter is accountable to. He is a guy with a rich daddy, that is all he is.

    “we are creatures of outside influences; as a rule we do not think, we only imitate”

    Mark Twain knew everything is a remix. The temptation to believe what you want is tempting. Knowing this it is best to consider how clean your facts are. Most likely you won’t look at how clean they are unless you think about it first, if you admit you may be easily influenced.

    Most people can’t do that. Pride gets in the way.

    I look at the laundry list of ‘wrongs’ in today’s article. America seems short of cosmic justice. This is true. I too am impatient but what do we want? Vengeance or justice? There is a difference.

    Vengance or change.

      You forget a major point here politically.

      The folks after Hunter are really after his dad who if proven, used his position in the government to enrich the Biden Mob. Illegal as hell. Ukraine and China as well.

      If the same terms were used against the Biden’s as have been used against Trump, the whole crew would be indicted.

      The other big part of this is the very evident bias in the FBI for years. This is an organization that spends 100% of its time trying to sway politics and yet cannot stop a single shooting even when the perps are on some sort of watch list.

      In all ways, this Federal government is worthless as tits on a boar.

        I understand the delicacy of your position, non-Stormfront Bro. All the ladies support you – Now! And will continue to support you as you climb the Pyramid. All moral concerns are as nothing compared to keeping the wife in furs and jewels and keeping “her” kids happy. That’s just what men are supposed to do! Slaves, walking ATM’s and sperm banks.

        Unless you were to find another position of both equal income and equal potential, then your wife would suddenly feel you were holding her back. And the other ladies would back her up.

        Is there no limit to this? Unless she is one of the 10%, no. Why would there be? That’s what men are for. She gets to have moral scruples, not you. Any limit is in you. Would you be willing to make offerings as the Dutch Banker said he was being asked to do? A chicken to Moloch as Hillary put it?

            River is with you! What does that tell you?

            sciencedirect.com

            Carrying capacity is the maximum number, density, or biomass of a population that a specific area can support sustainably. This likely varies over time and depends on environmental factors, resources, and the presence of predators, disease agents, and competitors over time. The concept of carrying capacity has been explicitly recognized for more than 175 years, and its use has waxed and waned during this time. Currently, the use of carrying capacity to describe any particular population requires caution, although the concept remains intuitive and invokes questions that challenge our fundamental understanding of factors that regulate populations over time and space.

            Jarek: Carrying capacity directly determines optimum population and thus by extension (for any normal mind), what is over-population. Your attempt to separate the two is like trying to separate roads from the cars they were built for.

            Ok so let’s take it out for a spin: If a pack of wolves needs fifty square miles of territory, how many packs could five hundred square miles hold?

            Trying to fit more packs of wolves in, would lead to environmental degradation – such as too many deer killed, and ultimately starvation for all of the wolves. Undefined variable: the size of the wolf packs. Can it very? If so, by how much. Other variable: Domestic animals and the reaction of ranchers to wolves killing them. Do the packs fight? Don’t know.

            The concept also has applications to vehicles, boxes, suitcases, roads, any and all species in a given niche, and of course, the Earth itself relative to human demography. In terms of biology, there are always two aspects: the species itself and the niche in question. Interrelated since the health of the latter has everything to do with the health of the former. And the number of the former has much to do with the carrying capacity for that species in that niche.

            Mocking this most broad of concepts is bizarre in the extreme.

          • Jarek January 2, 2023 at 9:08 pm #

            Mary: Not true. I don’t begrudge him that at all. I’m simply amazed at people’s acceptance of success at any cost – including that of working directly for the Enemy. Isn’t this the kind of Lust that got us here to being with? That and the acceptance of it as not only necessary but Moral! The Ladies like it!

            Yes, he is far more successful than I. Satisfied? Now address the above.

            If he is really good, then he could find similar work someplace else. But perhaps making a bit less? And that simply isn’t acceptable, is it? Notice how all the ladies put themselves in the place of the wife when questions like this come up.

            Fascinating, is it not? My sister looks down me because I’m not a good catch. Isn’t she supposed to be my sister? But no, she’d rather put herself in the place of some prospective girlfriend or wife.

            Not all women. Apparently there are ten percent or so you accept men as human beings. She is not one of them. Obviously you aren’t either.

            My Mother loved me even though a pretty limited person in many ways. Perhaps only in this bond can the average woman transcend the terrible conditioning of her sex. And some women not even then from what I hear….

            Are you putting yourself in the position of his wife? You all seem to do it – maybe even the half mythical ten percent though not to the complete exclusion of a man’s humanity.

          • GreenAlba January 3, 2023 at 7:45 am #

            “Are you putting yourself in the position of his wife? You all seem to do it […]”

            Are you addressing me? If so, do be assured that I would not presume to put myself in the position of anyones’s wife. What a frankly bizarre thing to say, especially to someone in my position. I own my own home. I married someone earning a lot less than me, and subsequently married (and housed) someone else recovering from a business bankruptcy, so if you’re looking for mercenary women, you’re looking at the wrong person.

            On top of which the only thing I know about Mrs Owl is that she is a professional and has her own career. And shares a son with Mr Owl. I don’t know her views on anything, other than that some of them have changed with recent circumstances. Which is probably more than you know.

            In other words, eff off with your devious insinuations about women.

            You could equally say that Night Owl is operating behind the lines and getting useful intelligence on the perpetrators.

            But like I said, Blackrock probably paid my salary and currently pays my pension(s) for as long as they last, which I don’t think will be that long. I hadn’t even heard of Blackrock 2 years ago, but we live and learn. Or we should.

            @ Jarek:

            You are rather obviously living off of somebody. It also appears that you have been living off of somebody for your entire life. Must be somebody who is/was worth very considerable bucks. Where did it come from?

          • Anthea January 3, 2023 at 11:06 am #

            @ Jarek:

            Re your comment that, “Apparently there are ten percent or so you accept men as human beings,” adult human beings (both men and women) have adult responsibilities. The chief of these is the capability to be self-supporting and, if married, the capability to provide for a family. Traditionally, the position of provider/breadwinner is primarily the responsibility of the husband, as, particularly if there are children, the wife’s time and energies will be largely consumed by children and the other responsibilities of the domestic sphere.

            The reason your sister looks down on you as “not a good catch” is because you refuse to assume adult responsibilities. One has the very strong impression that you have never even assumed responsibility for providing for yourself (let alone assuming responsibility for a family) or engaged in any productive occupation. Not only that, you continually carry on about the injustice of anyone (particularly any female) expecting you to assume adult responsibilities.

            One of my former neighbors was like that. He had moved into the utility room of his dad’s trailer (where he had a cot set up by the water heater), because his girlfriend had kicked him out, he had lost his job, and his car had been repossessed. And he had a pretty bad drinking problem. He was about 32 at the time.

            His refrain was much like your own: Women are selfish and materialistic, and every time he meets a woman, the first thing she asks is, “What do you do?” He frankly stated that he was looking for a “cougar,” so he could become a “house-husband.” The duties of a house-husband were, in his view, mowing the lawn and drinking up all the liquor–which was what he did while living with his dad.

            Funny that he never applied to any of his guy friends (some of whom were high earners) to take him in and support him. The menfolk too are fully cognizant of the disadvantages of supporting their unemployed acquaintances–and are perhaps even more reluctant to do so than the ladies. Like the ladies, the guy friends will decline to feed and house them and cook and clean for them. Nor will they provide free sexual services, as a rule.

            Your sister rightly views you as a kind of superannuated child who had never assumed adult responsibilities, and who is quite determined not to ever do so–and is even made angry by the suggestion that he do so.

            I’ll bet your guy friends (if you have any) also regard you as a loser.

          • Anthea January 3, 2023 at 11:35 am #

            @ Jarek:

            Now that I think of it, this is probably the reason you have almost no human contact: Everyone, both male and female, regards you as a loser and a mooch. Social contacts thus become painful and embarrassing.

            People probably ask you what you do. Not much you can say, is there? And you probably have sense enough to know that, if you wax eloquent about the injustice of (men) being expected to have a job and (minimally) be self-supporting, such an assertion will be met with derision–probably much more so by men than by women.

            You doubtless feel a little silly in the company of adult men who have bought houses for their families, taken them on vacations, bought cars for the teenagers, remodeled the kitchen, and are planning to renovate the small barn/garage on their property to make it into a carriage house for their aging parents, in order to have them nearby so they can look after them.

          • Anthea January 3, 2023 at 12:03 pm #

            @ Jarek:

            Oh! And try telling these adult men (assuming you know any) that you’re the smart one for remaining a child and dependent, and that they are slaves to wives and children.

            Sure, you can say that to Night Owl anonymously, on an online blog. Try saying it to some gainfully employed, successful family man in person. Maybe you know a chemical engineer working in the oil patch who would like to hear your views on this matter, and how much better of a person you are for being a zero.

            You will be speaking to someone who knows you, who knows you’ve never held a job in your life and are a loser without knowledge, skills, or backbone. You will, in short, be speaking to someone who knows that your your motivation for espousing such views is to try (unsuccessfully) to make an argument that anyone who is not a zero is a slave. And the main person you’re trying to convince is yourself–such a (pretended) view being balm to your ego.

            Not one of you has addressed the point: In a corrupt system like this, the higher you go, the lower you go.

            Alba accepts that we’re all working for Black Rock just as she accepts the coming Black and Brown Britain. Just get on with it. Do your best. Climb that Pyramid! That’s what Momma wants. And if she ain’t happy, she’ll destroy you.

            Anthea is frothing at the mouth. Her God is matter. I’m probably the only one who bothered to read her theological posts – and that IS what she said. The idea of anyone escaping from this is anathema to her. Thus she serves Black Rock (the stone deep in the UN’s meditation room is said to be this) in the Religious Department. There are different sub-Pyramids that make up THE Pyramid itself. See the work of David Icke.

            My dream girl will be as proud of her gumball machine ring as other women are of their blood diamonds – red with the blood of their enslaved fiance or husband if not the enslaved Black workers themselves.

            Being poor in spirit is not the same thing as being poor materially. But alas, the latter is an aid to it. Christ said, It’s harder for a rich man to attain unto the Kingdom as it is for a camel to go thru the eye of the needle – the gates of Jerusalem. That was then. Now? Now it’s like trying to thru the eye of an actual needle.

            This is rare. For most the cost is very high. Night Owl can’t even think any more. He literally cannot understand “carrying capacity”. I have no doubt he was once a finer person, before drained by his career.

            Lying toad lies again. I don’t ‘accept’ – I just presume. I don’t have the slightest clue which companies my company pension organisation invests in but since I recently learned that Blackrock ultimately owns pretty much everything, I assume they are involved in my rather meagure pension. The other bit – my state pension – comes from the government and another minuscule amount from a small public-sector teaching pension.

            Who exactly have I encouraged to climb a pyramid? What Night Owl does is his business and his wife’s but it really seems to get to you.

            As for my situation, you odious, presumptuous ignoramus – not that it’s any of your business but I tore up my husband’s Will, which was mostly in my favour, and have declined to take any of his money if he dies before me, because it came from the NHS. So FUCK OFF, you lying toad. I never climbed any greasy pole and never encouraged anyone else to do so.

Being a parasite is also an indication of narcissism, where the person imagines themselves “above” having to work, so makes all sorts of excuses (as Jarek provides) about why working is evil and for suckers, etc. But it’s working people who support Jarek in some way, I’m betting.

            I don’t work for Blackrock. Most of my career was spent in the public sector or at tiny publishing houses.

            I have climbed no pyramid. Just landed a job and stuck around.

            “My Mother loved me even though a pretty limited person in many ways.”

            I love how that sentence is a textbook example of ambiguity! How sweet.

            Regarding not working much because clilmbing the greasy pole leads you into temptation, I am reminded of M. Scott Peck, who felt somewhat contemptuous of people who thought like that. He only saw virtue in poverty – relative or absolute – if the person had achieved success and voluntarily given it up. The other scenario is just as easily interpreted as laziness, either in the simplest sense or because the person wants to avoid the moral dilemmas that any thinking person comes across in a high-achieving career.

            I recall Mike Yeadon mentioning that he gave up a job at a very inconvenient time for him and his family because staying in it would have involved doing stuff he thought was wrong. He was pointing out that scientists he knew professionally, who were now either high-level public health officials or CEOs in the key vaxx companies, should resign – or sue him.

          • GreenAlba January 3, 2023 at 6:37 pm #

            NO – I meant in the sense that Blackrock seems to ultimately finance everything – including our governments and public services. I suspect they financed the lockdowns, one way or another.

            I’m thinking of that excellent documentary of Tim Gielen’s, ‘Monopoly’ that showed them to be at the top (or bottom) of literally everything.

          • Jarek January 3, 2023 at 6:43 pm #

            As far as I can make out, pretty much everyone is working for Blackrock and their pension also depends on Blackrock.

          I actually agree with Jarek here.

          Why work your butt off for The Man to get bling when you can be happy with the simple things in life?

          This story illustrates the point:

          AUTHOR
          Courtney Carver
          An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.

          The Mexican replied, “only a little while. The American then asked why didn’t he stay out longer and catch more fish? The Mexican said he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs. The American then asked, “but what do you do with the rest of your time?”

          The Mexican fisherman said, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siestas with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine, and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life.” The American scoffed, “I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing, and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually New York City, where you will run your expanding enterprise.”

          The Mexican fisherman asked, “But, how long will this all take?”

          To which the American replied, “15 – 20 years.”

          “But what then?” Asked the Mexican.

          The American laughed and said, “That’s the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions!”

          “Millions – then what?”

          The American said, “Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siestas with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos.”

            @ Paula D:

            Well, the thing is, the lifestyle of the Mexican fisherman that you describe is not what Jarek advocates–or at least, so it appears to me.

            You notice that he advocates “escaping from matter,” and equates providing for a family with slavery. Jarek’s general view about how to make ones “escape from matter” appears to be that this is best done at someone else’s expense.

        • Anthea January 4, 2023 at 10:52 am #

          @ Jarek:

          You seem unable to face the fact that you are a bum.

          So your latest rationalization is that you are too far above the material world to concern yourself with practical adult responsibilities.

          • Jarek January 4, 2023 at 1:30 pm #

      Hunter Biden was in pay-to-play with the Big Guy, helping him with his Ukraine business deals, including coercion. Probably laundering as well.

      That’s not something that should be glossed over.

    • Paula D January 2, 2023 at 7:14 pm #

      The Bidens have never said that the laptop was not genuine.

      Also, actual reporters have verified many of the emails on the laptop by asking the recipients if they were real.

      The significance of the laptop is that there are not just sex and drugs and rock-n-roll evidence on it, but evidence of corruption, including corruption in Ukraine, with the Big Guy demanding 10% of the cut.

      Hunter being on the board of Burisma, pulling down $50,000/month is significant, and the Bidens are not denying that either.

      We have the video footage of Joe Biden bragging to an audience at the CFR that he personally threatened Poroshenko with the loss of a billion dollar IMF loan unless Poroshenko fired the prosecutor looking into the corruption at Burisma.

      But you think it’s irrelevant??? Trump was impeached in 2019 when he called Zelensky to congratulate him on winning the presidency and then asked him to look into the corruption case.

      The Democrats were outraged! And the FBI sat on that laptop throughout the entire farce of impeachment, although there was exculpatory evidence on it.

      Not that asking another president about a corruption case is grounds for impeachment anyway.
      And neither is the other reason they stated, that Trump held up weapons to Ukraine.
      It is illegal for the US to send weapons to a country that is killing its own people, which Ukraine was doing, although somehow they managed to hold an entire impeachment hearing without ever mentioning that salient fact.

      And to this day, dumbass Democrats still don’t know that Ukraine was killing the people of Donbass for 8 years, even though they watched an entire impeachment supporting it!

      What a bunch of idiots.

        Uh, Paula D you forgot to mention that what Trumpy was doing was a mob-boss shakedown. You also fail to mention that Dumpy was the first pres to allow lethal weapons shipments to Ukraine, something Obummer was hesitant to do.

        • Mac January 3, 2023 at 7:19 am #

          River- Wait. I thought it was Trump, not Obama, who was Putin’s boy. Which one sent arms to Ukraine and which one sent blankets?

        • Paula D January 3, 2023 at 12:34 pm #

          No, Biden did a mob boss shakedown when he demanded that Poroshenko fire the prosecutor.

          Asking about the progress of an investigation is by no stretch of the imagination a ”shakedown”.
          You must know that. But I guess you’re getting paid to proclaim absurdities.

          Obama was president when the arming and training of the military by NATO commenced. Of course he allowed lethal weapons to be shipped.
          Trump supposedly sent a category that Obama did not. Why wasn’t he impeached for that?

          Because Democrats are war mongering lying assholes who supported it then and support it now.

      • Night Owl January 3, 2023 at 6:28 pm #

        Even if they said it was not genuine, it would never stick.

        I posted links to about 100 videos off of that laptop from a Chinese media site well over a year ago. Showed him doing all kinds of stuff. Waving a gun around, plowing hookers, posing naked post sex with his sister Ashley, etc.

        Dude even had several of the vids on sites like PornHub.

        The chain of custody for the laptop was well documented. It went from Hunter Biden to the repair shop bro, who turned it over. He even had Biden’s signed work order.

        Everything else is Shareblue nonsense.

    In the Better Late Than Never department,
    I just want to thank JHK for the outstanding previous post with its comprehensive tying together of “Christmas Past” with “Christmas Future.”

    Well and truly worthy of Janus, “the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways,[2] passages, frames, and endings. He is usually depicted as having two faces. The month of January is named for Janus (Ianuarius).[3] . . .

    “The name of the god I?nus, mean[s] in Latin ‘arched passage, doorway’, . . .

    “From Ianus derived ianua (“door”),[9] and hence the English word “janitor” (Latin, ianitor). ”

    Whoa!!
    Today JHK invokes our our DC janitor gods to clean up the current squalid mess.
    I sure hope they are paying attention.

    For RR

    Some facts for you

    MYNBC.COM Thursday June 9. 2022
    Alec Schemmel/ The National Desk

    TitleTrump administration was ready to deploy National Guard on Jan. 6, Capitol Police timeline shows

    Paragraph 1

    “A Capitol police timeline of the days and weeks surroundingJan.6 shows former President Trump’s Department of Defense (DOD) offered the National Guards assistance in the days leading up to the violent attacks on the US Capitol, validating claims from the Trump administration officials that were said to be false by Liberal fact checkers.”

    Further

    “What we also know is that President Trump wanted to make sure that the peoplethat came, that there was a safe environment for that kind of assembly. And I’ve said that publically before, the 10000 National Guard troops that he wanted to make sure that everything was safe and secure. Obviously having those National Guards available, was actually the reason they were able to respond when they did, was becausr President Trump put them on alert.”
    Mark Meadows to Sean Hannity

    “Liberal fact checkers like the Washington Post and Politifact argued the claim about National Guard assistance coming from Meadows and other top Trump administration officials was false, but an official timeline of the events leading up to Jan. 6 apparently shows different.”

    JohnAZ The rest of the article expounds on the happenings involving the Trump administration, the Capitol Police and the Guard. It is documented in Capitol records. Also documented is that the Sergeant of Arms of the Senate refusal for the Guard on the 6th and reported to Schumer thus. This is such an overt lie by the media, what else can be believed?

    If I remember right, the Committee did not read the Capitol Police reports and guidelines. No wonder.

        The shedding is of the spike protein, which you must know is produced by the body of the person injected with the GMO product.

    • SoftStarLight January 3, 2023 at 12:36 am #

      Terrifying. It makes me think about when I briefly seriously considered wearing saran wrap because of fear that the injected were shedding everywhere. Dr. McCullough though says that he isn’t sure the jabbed are shedding by breathing out and stuff. At the end he said that it looks like the injections are permanent so that shedding will always happen when someone is jabbed. So that is a problem if your significant other is jabbed and you are not. I’m single so I don’t have to worry about that quandary.

        And another clone further up.

I think it must be just Scottish caution – not wishing someone a happy new year until you know they’re going to get there, the same as you don’t give someone a present for a baby until it’s born.

She probably didn’t tell the governor because he would have shut the investigation and charges down. Duh! What, does that mean she is supposed to not do anything about international human traffickers? This whole episode proves everything about the whole Epstein thing is most definitely real and involves an incredible amount of powerful people that they don’t want us to know about.

    NFL might have just suffered its first Vaxx casualty live on MNF. Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin makes what appeared to be a routine tackle on a Cincy WR, gets up, takes a step or two, and falls over backwards as if dead on the spot. They brought an ambulance out on the field immediately and administered CPR on the spot for over 10 minutes before finally loading him up for transport with an oxygen mask over his face. Just speculating, but he might have well died right there and they just haven’t announced it yet, as they weren’t going to pronounce him right there in the middle of the field. The game has been suspended for now, but from the look on the players and coaches faces, I think they know already. This did not appear to be a football injury in the least.

      This did not appear to be a football injury in the least. – Disaff

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

      At the moment this Damar Hamlin incident occurred I was tuned to the Rutgers vs Purdue basketball game which Rutgers had just won by one point. It was just like a year ago. Purdue was ranked #1 nationally and got knocked off by lowly Rutgers. So after I basked in the warm glow of victory I then switched over to the Monday Night pro football game only to discover the game was “temporarily halted.”

      The coverage I watched never made it clear whether Hamlin suffered an injury like a concussion and then shortly thereafter collapsed. You, Disaff, apparently were watching and it “did not appear to be a football injury in the least.”

      Please confirm.

      • Paddys Lament January 2, 2023 at 11:18 pm #

      • Disaffected January 3, 2023 at 7:39 am #

        That video summed it up, although it looked even more perplexing live. Routine play, routine tackle, not even a “hit” per se (as the NFL is calling it), gets up, falls down, doesn’t get up. Turns out it was cardiac arrest, just as it appeared to be. He’s in the ICU and still in critical condition.

        • Disaffected January 3, 2023 at 8:08 am #

          True to form, Chris Simms on PFT Live this morning makes the insipid connection that now players have to worry about being hit in the chest, even on routine plays, causing cardiac arrest. If that were the case, football never would have gained in popularity in the first place. This had nothing to with a “football hit.” Does that automatically make it a vaxx injury? No, but it sure makes you wonder.

          But now the hand-wringing over the whole thing has started and that will be the worst of it. The NFL and their lackeys will attempt to lionize this kid, who if this event had never happened, would still be a nobody.

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

            Yeah, we will learn he is studying nights to finish his college degree and on the side was working on a promising cure for cancer. lol

            Actually I don’t feel right about making light of this kid Hamlin’s condition. For all we know he could be dead by this time tomorrow.

          • Disaffected January 3, 2023 at 2:16 pm #

            Well, but you’re not making light of him. You’re making light of the image they’re about to create of him. The whole “how can we play games now next week?” and all the rest of it. It’s an injury of whatever sort, it may or may not be upsetting to anyone personally, but life goes on. To put it into perspective, how many other heart attacks occurred last night in Cincinnati alone that we never even heard about and how many of those people actually died? Are we all going into mourning today over those people too? Of course not.

            The only relevant consideration to me here at all is what caused this, and I ain’t buying for one minute that it was because of a “football hit.” That’s just stupid.

          • Paddys Lament January 4, 2023 at 10:56 am #

            Diss, that’s a pretty ironic commentary considering Simms’ dad made his reputation by hanging in the pocket and taking such hits. He probably got concussed more than a few times and stayed in the game. Of course, that wouldn’t happen in today’s game.

    • riverrunner January 2, 2023 at 11:53 pm #

      Right….let’s make a huge leap of so-called logic. We have no idea what happened and it’s not like athletes haven’t dropped dead on the field or court before so just spare us the speculation for now.

      Haven’t heard an official announcement on Hamlin yet, but I think that’s where it’s headed. It’s been over an hour since the “injury,” so if there was any good news to be had they certainly would have released it by now. Sure looked like a vaxx related cardiac event to me. The NFL will be in damage control big time, so the announcement will probably be delayed. But it looks like the game is going to be called for tonight at least. They’re already packing things up on the sideline.

      • Jarek January 2, 2023 at 10:07 pm #

        It’s good you guys are watching this. Finally your vice has born fruit!

        They’re not finishing the game? Why not? They don’t stop for injuries, and that’s all that they’ve admitted to so far.

        Football must be cancelled. Too dangerous to the vaxed. And all decent people must be vaxed.

        • Disaffected January 2, 2023 at 10:17 pm #

          Yes. This will certainly open the Pandora’s box on vaxx injuries. If it brings that discussion out into the open it will have served a noble purpose, but I’m sure they’ll (the NFL and the press) do all they can to cover it up and explain it away. To do anything else would be to admit that all of those players they forced to be vaxxed are at serious risk now.

      • stelmosfire January 3, 2023 at 9:00 am #

        Never saw it, though it does happen rarely I guess. Takes quite a confluence of events. A perfect hard blow , in exactly the right spot, and at a certain exact moment during the heart rhythm. Happens with baseballs, hockey pucks, and such because the impact is confined to a small area. Don’t these footballers wear chest protectors? That would certainly spread out the impact point. Back in the stone age we were taught the precordial thump for cardiac arrest to try and shock the rhythm back to normal. I whacked a few people . It never worked. They took it out of the CPR protocols years ago. Hopefully they got this guy with the defib in time. He may be ok or he may be a veg on a vent. They know by now.

        • Paula D January 3, 2023 at 12:48 pm #

          That reminds me of the taser deaths and how they spun them.

          I remember there was an article on the wall in the breakroom explaining in great detail how “excited delirium” caused taser deaths. It seemed unlikely to me, but that was their Official Story.

          And then I was in a ACLS class and they were going on and on about how you can only use a defibrillator in v. fib, not when there was a rhythm, because of the risk of throwing them into v. fib. You had to use synchronized cardioversion for any other arrhythmia.

          I turned to the nurse next to me and said “I’ll bet that’s what is causing taser deaths, don’t you think?”

          And she just gave me a blank look. Maybe riverrat is the same person.

      Never happened before /

      On October 24, 1971, the Lions hosted the Chicago Bears at Tiger Stadium. Late in the 4th quarter, with Detroit trailing 28–23, the Lions were driving into Chicago territory and Hughes, who entered the game as an injury replacement, caught a pass from quarterback Greg Landry for 32 yards and a first down at the Bears’ 37-yard line.

      Three plays later, Landry threw a pass that tight end Charlie Sanders dropped near the end zone. Hughes, a decoy on the play, began running back to the huddle with 1:02 showing on the clock. Suddenly, he dropped to the turf clutching his chest around the 20-yard line.[3] Hughes collapsed near Bears linebacker Dick Butkus, who saw him begin to convulse violently on the field. Butkus motioned to the sideline frantically to get Hughes assistance.[6]

      Both teams’ doctors and trainers, along with a physician who happened to be attending the game, ran to Hughes to try to save him. An ambulance was called for and arrived to take Hughes to Henry Ford Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 5:34 pm that afternoon. He was 28 years old. The game was played to its conclusion in front of a now-stunned silent crowd in Tiger Stadium, with the Bears’ lead holding. The Lions awaited word of Hughes’ condition after the game and the players were informed once word had broken that he was dead.

    Idiotic to say that the vax was the cause of Damar’s collapse. High school players have dropped dead on the playing field and in practice before the vax.

    What the entire scenario depicted to me is how far the state of weak, weasel wokeness has embedded itself into this country.

    It was right to pause the game, be concerned, pray, and feel bad because of Damar’s injury. But once he was found to be alive, even though hospitalized, it should have been announced that he was under good care and the game should have resumed.

    Instead, you had young boys, yes, boys, not men, bawling like babies and harvesting hugs. Roger Goodell and the elites then decide that this is all too tough to take, as if serious injury is not an imminent possibility in this game, and so they postpone the game.

    Effete elites and obsequious owners, all with multi millions if not billions of dollars, protecting their bawling boys to the utmost, virtue signaling to their enslaved, fervent, and often fanatical fans. ‘See, we love our players!’

    • GreenAlba January 3, 2023 at 7:24 am #

      The average number of players dropping dead on the playing field and practice (or elsewhere) has historically been around two dozen per year worldwide.

      Since the vaxx rollout this figure is, cumulatively, 1616 athlete cardiac arrests, 1114 of them fatal. Doubtless the real figure is even greater, since the Goodsciencing site depends on people around the world sending in details of local athlete deaths and injuries (any of which you are at liberty to research individually).

      Please stop spreading misinformation, TS. No single athlete collapse and/or death can be attributed to the vaxx without investigation, but the sheer number of such collapses and deaths mean that the onus is on the authorities to prove that it wasn’t the vaxx rather than the other way round. And the players know they’re playing Russian roulette as well as football, hence their faces.

            I initially heard of this incident on a YT video early this morning. This YouTuber asked a cardiologist friend what he thinks happened to this player. Hamlin.

            He said “it looks like it could be commostio cordis”. And this is “lethal disruption of heart rhythm that occurs as a result of a blow to the area directly over the heart (the precordial region) at a critical time during the cycle of a heart beat, producing what is termed an R-on-T phenomenon that leads to the condition. It is a form of ventricular fibrillation (V-Fib), not mechanical damage to the heart muscle or surrounding organs, and not the result of heart disease…Commotio cordis occurs mostly in boys and young men (average age 15), usually during sports, most frequently baseball, often despite a chest protector. It is usually caused by a projectile, but can also be caused by the blow of an elbow or other body part. Being less developed, the thorax of an adolescent is likely more prone to this injury given the circumstances.”

            So, whether this was truly a case of commotio cordis or not, my bet is that this is what they will hang their hat on.

    Just finished reading Michael Lewis’ The Premonition (2020) which is less about covid than the abysmal failure of the risibly named US “public health system”.
    It cannot be happenstance to be so woeful and inextricably dependent – when not tied to – for-profit outfits for basic tests and supplies.
    Almost as if it is deliberately dysfunctional, in one of the last passages described as “…lurching between lethargy & avarice..”
    Meanwhile every survey for the last several decades shows in excess of 70% of the populace in favour of a single payer national health system – but wadda they matter, they’re only tax paying citizens.

      After the final and terminal collapse of the dollar, the United States will be unable to purchase very much in the way of imports. We will be forced for a while to try and make it without access to items such as new shoes and boots. There might be a few years when the only place to find such basic items will be in basements and attics. The footwear and clothing in the thrift stores will be long gone. And the domestic factories for making shoes are still under construction.

      Also unavailable will be “healthcare” as we know it. It won’t be possible for some 20% of the nation’s GDP to consist of the “healthcare” industry. That 20% will be spent in other, more critical areas. When your nation is third world level poor and hungry, the meager resources left won’t be used to make 100 thousand dollar medical procedures for available for anyone and everyone who wants it spent that way. Lifestyles and medical practices will revert back to where it was roughly a century ago.

      Perhaps on some level, the medical/industrial complex realizes this and they are going for one last hurrah, just one more major scam until the entire industry collapses into its own footprint in a spectacular cloud of dust, smoke, and debris. And after a decade of no “healthcare” and finding out it makes no difference and never did, only then will people find out they’d been scammed all along. The Covid-19 scam was just the grand finale. Our health care system is just one of many centrally controlled parasite systems feeding on what’s left of Western syphilization. Education and military are other examples. They’ll all be gone after the dollar fails and is no longer accepted in international trade.

    • Paula D January 3, 2023 at 1:04 pm #

      Single payer, meaning government funding of a profit-based system is a recipe for fraud and graft, as we can see by the military-industrial-complex, which operates the same way.

      You have to take the profit completely out of health care, not just the insurance part. It is obscene anyway, to have doctors and hospitals holding people hostage, forcing them to sacrifice all their savings and property in a desperate attempt to keep them or their loved one alive.

      Either have the entire thing a non-profit service funded by the government or leave it as it is – a scam in which drugs are pushed and surgeries performed for as much money as they can pump out of each “patient”.
      Then people with common sense can avoid the entire enterprise.

    ICAN OBTAINS DISTURBING INFORMATION ABOUT ASTRAZENECA’S COVID-19 VACCINE FROM THE UK EQUIVALENT OF THE FDA

    “…..ICAN, through its attorneys, submitted an information request to the United Kingdom’s FDA equivalent – the Medicines and Healthcare Products Registry Agency (MHRA) — in April 2022 seeking information relating to its authorization of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, as well as that relating to its authorization of the Janssen, Moderna, and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines.

    One of these studies investigated biodistribution of the AstraZeneca vaccine, meaning where it goes in the body after injection, in mice. This study revealed that the viral vector DNA did not remain localized in the injection site but instead migrated to other organs. Disturbingly, the study found vector DNA in the sciatic nerves, bone marrow, livers, lungs, and spleens of the mice following vaccination….”

  58. Mick January 3, 2023 at 9:09 am #

    Before I looked at this site today, or heard any news at all, I saw that on YT there was a video titled, “MNF Tragedy shocks….” I saw that it was uploaded just a few hours ago so I thought, “Huh, I wonder what happened last night”, and clicked on it.

    I don’t know who this person is on the video. He seems to have a channel that is sports focused. He did not show footage from the play that led to the player Hamlin’s collapse. He said that it appeared to have been as a result of a “stiff arm” from the ball carrier who Hamlin was tackling.

    I just looked at the video myself. There was no stiff arm. At least not much of one. This was not a brutal play by NFL routine standards. Not even close. Hamlin clearly stood up after the play looking just fine, then collapsed. No indication of injury.

    So now the game is suspended indefinitely. A very important game between two of the top teams in the AFC with major playoff consequences. Cincinnati needed this win more than Buffalo, who has already wrapped up its division leading status. And it is suspended? They didn’t even stop the game like this when Joe Theismann’s leg snapped like a match stick in the 80s. As soon as he was off the field it was, “Play ball!” There have been other games in which players have been paralyzed.

    The NFL has a problem here to figure out I think. How many players got the recent bi-valent jab? They of course know. They know how many potential ticking time bombs they have going into the playoff season when viewership numbers will go up through the stratosphere.

    NCAA just lost a beloved DIV 1 coach in Mike Leach who most likely got the bi-valent jab in September. He promptly got sick and was “under the weather” up until a “heart condition” led to a “medical event” that killed him.

    Yeah. A “heart condition” that he had never had prior to the “medical event”. That would be like me getting killed in a traffic accident later today, and my family being told, “Well he died of an automotive condition”.

    • Disaffected January 3, 2023 at 9:30 am #

      Weeding through all the sanctimonious hyperventilating on Sports Talk channels this morning. They’re now talking about what if the game can’t be resumed at all. Yes, they’re definitely speaking out of both sides of their mouth now. Shut down the whole sport based on one incident? But the great unspoken truth is, and I wonder how many players are thinking this now, how many of us are ticking timebombs now, knowing full well that this wasn’t caused by a “football hit,” as the narrative is already being pushed.

      • Mick January 3, 2023 at 9:40 am #

        See my reply to GA above. It looks like they will go with “commotio cordis” as the reason for the cardiac arrest.

        I see that Skip Bayless got excoriated for strongly questioning the decision to cancel the game. People were screaming, “This man’s life is more important than a game!!!”

        Our culture is completely pussified now. How does either stopping or not stopping a game save this man’s life? The doctors at the hospital are not hindered at all by whether the game continues or not.

        Pussification leads to over-emotional and irrational decision making and thinking. Most likely Hamlin himself would say, “Shoot man! Keep playing! Our team needs this win.”

        Well, that was old style thinking.

        • Mick January 3, 2023 at 10:00 am #

          Even Lebron James, that noted spokesperson for and fan of the CCP, has said that “The NFL’s decision to stop the game was a good one because the safety of the players is more important”.

          Uhhhh……Hey Lebron, he was taken to the hospital quickly, you know. Although still in critical condition he may survive this. Continuing the game was unsafe for whom? Football by definition is unsafe. Or were you thinking of the other players who may collapse from being recently boosted? If that’s the case then let’s just cancel all sporting events.

          I really need to go on a looooong fast. Fasting from all news and reporting. Too much stupidity and emotional driven irrationality.

          • Disaffected January 3, 2023 at 10:29 am #

            Agreed with all. This event was just one event. It doesn’t affect “player safety” at all. And if it does, then they should just cancel the season altogether and be done with it.

          • malthuss January 3, 2023 at 10:58 am #

          • Mick January 3, 2023 at 11:10 am #

            Lol….Malthuss you just inspired me to have a vision of a white collapsed player being dragged by the feet to the sideline and then play being immediately resumed.

            For the rest of the game they just step over him as the sideline shifts with the play on the field.

            “Troy, who is that Cracker who collapsed?”

            “Well Joe does it really matter?”

            “Hahahahah….of course not Troy. I apologize to anyone who was just triggered by my irrational concern for a Cracker.”

            “Oh no! It looks like that brutha has a sprained ankle!”

          • JohnAZ January 3, 2023 at 11:32 am #

            Yes, they would.

            Let us not forget that this is a one in a million situation, kids die from the violence of football. Players are regularly crippled by the explosive hits that pro football especially provides. Who has not gone, “Wow, what a hit,”?

            They fragility of the human body is evident here, regardless of how much padding the players wear. The pussifacation of today’s game started with the movie, Concussion, which very effectively showed how repeated hits on the head, both the giver and receiver of the hit, damages the neural network, creates scar tissue and progressively destroys the frontal lobe of the brain. This is basically acute Alzheimer’s.

            I think this incident, being acute, shakes up the invulnerability syndrome that these players have to have. They want the bucks, the glory but not the risk.

            The NBA PTB put band Aida on the CME problem. The players union has largely ignored the issue after an initial settled suit allocating money to care for players with CME.

            Unfortunately, the only real way of settling this is for players to acknowledge the danger of their profession by signing medical waivers absolving the NFL of responsibility for bodily injury.

            No one forces the players to play. The response during this injury was really weird, players crying and probably refusing to return to the game. Was this fear that a one in a million injury was going to happen again, NOW?

            The proper response would have been to have a minute of prayer for the injured player, then finish the game and the regular season.

            TheMedia this morning is its normal idiotic self, treating this as the number one story.
            Every sort of an MD is being interviewed for their opinion, which makes not one iota of difference. Not one mention of viral or vaxx myocarditis!!!! Will this kid be autopsied to report the cause of death, and explore for vaxx damage? Are you kidding me?

            What will the response of the player’s union to this incident? This is far from over!

      So a football game is going to be cancelled because of one inexplicable “collapse situation”, meanwhile after thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of “transitions to non-life conditions”, and “minor modifications of basic physical processes”, and frozen faces, the Vaxx campaign is still rolling forward at Warp Speed.

      I agree. We should not allow such valuable members of society as football players to risk their lives simply to entertain us pampered, privileged white people. Let them sit on their asses watching The View while they make their millions.

      Meanwhile, white trash working at the Dollar Store – you never had it so good. Maybe we could compile all the surveillance video of light-colored people getting robbed, beaten, and killed by our darker-skinned betters and create a new spectator sport to replace dangerous football.

    Speaking of an event that will be decided up largely due to emotional irrationality…….

    Let’s go cashless! Why? It’s safer! No more bank robberies. Yay!

    Bank Robberies Fall to Zero for First Time in Cashless Denmark

    (Bloomberg) — “Bank robberies are becoming a thing of the past in cashless Denmark as the Nordic country recorded its first year of zero holdups in 2022.

    Criminals have found it no longer pays off to walk into bank branches in search of a bag of crisp notes, as falling cash use in society has pushed banks to trim costs by pulling cash services from most branches.”

    bnnbloomberg.ca/bank-robberies-fall-to-zero-for-first-time-in-cashless-denmark-1.1865202

    Of course, never mind that the State can “turn you off” if you “misbehave”. But Liberty is less important than having zero bank robberies.

    • GreenAlba January 3, 2023 at 10:42 am #

      Yeah … ‘to trim costs’. That’ll be right! To trim the population, like.

      One of my daughters works for a Danish company. Although they’ve let her stay here and work from home, she has to go over there for a week every month. For her job she’s already had to get digital IDs for both Denmark and Norway, so she’ll think nothing of getting a third one when they bring them in here.

      Our kids were groomed for this. I used to be amazed, more than a decade ago, when she’d pay for a cup of coffee with a card. It used to be that small shops asked you not to pay with cards for purchases of under £10, because they were charged by the banks and it wasn’t worth their while. I fear this is all going to slither in, because mostly only older people have any instinct about the necessity of cash.

        Yes, Alba, when I went to visit my son and grandson, my grandson threw a fit when my daughter went to buy tacos, and he wanted to go.
        He was saying “I want money to buy tacos” so my son handed him a dollar bill.
        He threw it down and said “I want money!!” so my son gave him a credit card and he calmed down.

        I gave my son a look and he looked sheepish. He knows how I feel about credit cards.
        But for sure it won’t bother any of them to drop cash and go to a completely cashless society.

    • Mick January 3, 2023 at 11:50 am #

      Another reason that will be given for a cashless society is the increasing practice of “jugging”. Or is this just an Austin thing? Or thang?

      What is jugging you ask? Well, it is when a guy, or a group of guys watch an ATM machine from a distance. When they see a person who can be easily overwhelmed–elderly person or smallish person, usually female–withdraw what looks like a decent amount of cash, they then follow her/him to a location in which they feel is conducive for a quick smash and grab. Sometimes they follow the person all the way home.

      Often they beat the person to the point of having to be sent to the Emergency Room. No deaths yet.

      In 2022 over 1.3 million dollars have been jugged in Austin.

      So, you see, cash is baaad!

      My guess is that people working at dollar trees everywhere might be asking themselves why they are working a job that not only pays minimum wage, yet part of the dangers on the job is getting hacked to pieces by crazy people. You might be better off enlisting in the military. At least when you are working that job you are required to shoot back, and the benefits and the pay is better.

      So my Goodsciencing figure of 1114 dead athletes is already out of date!

      There are literally endless articles on MSN over here about people dying of aggressive cancers. And still endless articles about all the things that can give you heart attacks, cancer, stroke etc. On top of all the articles saying the NHS is about to collapse and people should go back to wearing masks if they feel ill. There’s a new health article every hour.

      Chris Whitty (our Fauci) has just warned about the thousands of middle aged people who are dying of heart attacks now ‘because they didn’t want to waste NHS time during the pandemic’ getting their heart problems checked out. He didn’t mention the 20-somethings and teenagers (or actual children and babies) who bizarrely weren’t in line for heart checkups.

      • JohnAZ January 3, 2023 at 11:44 am #

        Middle aged males have a cholesterol buildup problem in their coronaries that has been documented for decades. It starts as fat streaks as teen ages. Women do not share this tendency, until after menopause at which time they catch up quickly.

        When the fats gets thick enough, the immune system attacks the sites. When the inflammation point explodes, the platelet clotting mechanism kicks in and if the vessel occludes, the heart attack occurs.

        Hmmm? The immune system? Has anyone heard about the virus or the vaxx related to over activity of the immune system.

        The big question? Does the immune response to Covid or the Vaxx aggravate all sorts of inflammatory issues?

        I would bet money on it!!!

        Yep. Then when they crash everything and bring in the digital systems, you will get treatment via the Internet and a potential subsequent visit to a health or pharmacy center — accessible only with digital ID and a good social credit score.

        Just as described in the paper that came across my desk at work all those months ago.

        • GreenAlba January 3, 2023 at 7:12 pm #

          There’s been a lot on UK Column about this in recent months – much from Debi Evans. Seems there are ‘hubs’ all over the place now, not that I’ve seen any because I’m becoming a recluse! Hubs for heart check-ups, hubs for cancer check-ups. Pop-in centres, I think. Or maybe it’s just in England so far. But, as you say, you won’t get in, in future, without a pass. I have a repeat prescription for a couple of meds – I imagine it won’t even be possible to get those eventually without an app.

          My husband deals with out-of-hours pharmacies and tells me the pharmacy sector is crashing too. All part of the plan, I presume. Debi has said many times that they are phasing out conventional medications. There are already shortages. You’ll get gene-based stuff or nothing at all.

          I’m mentally prepared for it and have been for a long time. I’ll take my chances at home. Although Iain Davis has reminded us, rightly, I think, that the majority of health workers are still good people and not out to euthanise us!

    “What’s striking to me, is that not only is Dawson Knox (who’s brother Luke dropped dead suddenly) on the same team as Damar Hamlin, but this incident takes place only days after J.J. Watt announced retirement, in part due to arrhythmia. I wonder what those two were thinking..”

    • Disaffected January 3, 2023 at 11:22 am #

      Yep. Forgot all about Watt. There will be more. No doubt the NFL is holding its collective breath that it doesn’t happen in the playoffs or the Super Bowl(!!!). Brings up the question, would they cancel the Super Bowl for a similar incident? I’ll bet they’re scrambling to figure that one out now.

      And just as an aside, Hamlin didn’t have an arrythmia as some in the media have insinuated, he was flatlined, as in technically DEAD if they hadn’t resuscitated him with the paddles. Still no word on whether they got to him in time to prevent brain damage, but it’s not looking great at the moment.

        I heard this AM that he was on CPR, meaning pulseless for nine minutes. Very iffy,and totally dependent on how effective the CPR was.

      • stelmosfire January 3, 2023 at 1:35 pm #

        I didn’t see it but I thought they defibbed/ zapped him on the field. You don’t zap a flatline. You defib for Vfib. The zap causes a flatline and then the heart should hopefully start up with a normal rhythm. Hopefully being the key word. They zapped me one time to stop my heart and that thing came bouncing back in a nice sinus rhythm. My heart was rate 185-190 for a few hours in SVT. That was 14 years ago.

        • Disaffected January 3, 2023 at 1:58 pm #

          Yes. Just had an SVT last summer myself. I was up around 200 for approx 3 hours – took me an hour or so to even figure out what was going on. ER gave me an IV shot of the slow juice and it came right back down again. No issues since. Had a cardiologist review, a stress test, and an echo cardio, all good.

          They said this morning they definitely zapped him on the field, for whatever that’s worth. Probably some amount of of erroneous info floating around at this point, but one thing’s for sure: he damn near died right there and might still yet.

        • Paula D January 3, 2023 at 8:40 pm #

          As I recall, the AEDs check the rhythm and recommend the action. You put the pads on and turn on the machine and it tells you what to do.

          It only tells you to shock if it’s V-fib.

          I don’t know if you can shock anyway, but I doubt it.

          • Disaffected January 4, 2023 at 8:54 am #

    As predicted, commotio cordis is going to be the official reason for last night’s collapse and cardiac arrest on the football field. Just posted on Drudge….

    msn.com/en-us/sports/more-sports/what-happened-to-critically-injured-nfl-player-damar-hamlin-a-cardiologist-explains/ar-AA15UUtC

    “Jerome, who was not watching the game but looked at replays, said late Monday night that it appeared that Hamlin suffered commotio cordis, Latin for “agitation of the heart,” from being struck in the chest at a particular time in the heart rhythm cycle. That causes an interruption in the heart’s electrical signal, and cardiac arrest.”

    • Disaffected January 3, 2023 at 11:26 am #

      Yep, I agreed with your prediction when you first posted it. That cardiologist’s *guess* is no more or less informed than anyone else’s, but it smells like bullshit to me. I ain’t buying it.

      • Mick January 3, 2023 at 11:31 am #

        Oh, but it is very effective bullshit. Their favorite kind.

        Why they’ll run with it is because it is very difficult to either prove or disprove. And then when folks say, “Well….what about the jabs? How many jabs did he get?”

        The CDC/WHO marching ordered reply via the MSM will be, “You anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorists! Cardiologists say it was commatio cordis! What med school did YOU go to!”

        “We need bigger protective pads on the players!!”

        Watch for that to become a rallying cry on the pads.

          • Mick January 3, 2023 at 1:56 pm #

            He meant to say CTE. So I was being facetious when I referred to him as ‘Mr. Obvious’.

            And for anyone who doesn’t know, CTE is Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.

    • Paula D January 3, 2023 at 2:25 pm #

      My husband said that Dr. McCullough also cautioned that it could be commotio cordis. We don’t actually know.

      And he is a cardiologist I trust, unlike any interviewed by msm.

      • Mick January 3, 2023 at 3:03 pm #

        It truly could be cc. But, if its not we’ll never be told.

        My point is that if it is cc that’s what we’ll be told. If it is not cc, we’ll be told that it is cc.

        My bet is that if it is vaxx related he will not live. Mike Leach was in the hospital for a bit over a full day before he passed. I’m very suspicious that his was vaxx related. No one hit him in the chest, and he had no history of heart disease.

        • Paula D January 3, 2023 at 6:44 pm #

          I agree, Mick. Either way, the story will be the same.

        • Paula D January 3, 2023 at 8:44 pm #

          I watched the video and I highly doubt it was cc.

          He rolled over and got up after he was hit. You don’t do that if you are in V-fib.
          It had to have started after he got up. Dr. McCullough said that it could have been the rush of adrenaline.

          • Mick January 3, 2023 at 9:21 pm #

            I just saw Dr. Malone on Kim Iverson’s cast and he said that while it could be cc, he was leaning toward this being vaxx related.

            For one thing, the “hit” to his chest area wasn’t really that bad. It was, by NFL standards, a pretty routine tackle. It wasn’t one of those direct hit tackles in which both are moving at high rates of speed toward one another.

            Plus, they have a lot of padded material above the heart area. Most of these cc events take place when a baseball hits a person in the mid chest area. Or a hockey puck….or even a soccer ball.

        This is a recent one too that is not getting as much attention

        chronline.com/stories/dori-monson-conservative-seattle-radio-host-dies-at-61,306203

  66. Mick January 3, 2023 at 12:42 pm #

    Right now I’m listening to a local radio guy who himself played in the NFL. His Dad was a longtime referee in the NFL too, so he has an ear to the ground regarding the League.

    He said that the NFL through the Refs was telling the coaches last night that they would get five minutes to warm up and then the game will resume after Hamlin was off the field and on the way to the Hospital.

    It was the players and the coaches who refused to play. Then the NFL acquiesced.

    Putting myself in their shoes now, I can see that viewpoint of not wanting to go on. This wasn’t a “normal” injury. They thought he was dead. Then, after the ambulance took him away they figured he was probably going to die on the way or at the hospital. They were freaked out.

    (On a lighter note…..This local radio guy is calling everyone blaming this on the vaxx “Losers, conspiracy theorists, and knuckleheads”. I’m not surprised because he was pro-vaxx from the start. He was one of the first who went through those drive thru vaxx centers in March of 2021).

    • MaryQueen January 3, 2023 at 1:11 pm #

      Most people who got vaxxed because they truly believed in it are not going to back down now and admit the may have injured themselves or that they could be walking around with a ticking time bomb inside them.

      The people who have the best chance of being fine after the jab are those who understand its potential harm and who move forward with health protocols to heal their body.

        Now I’m embarrassed. I was never a devoted covidian. I completely admit to believing the story grosso modo, although I thought the endless fear porn was exaggerated and annoyingf. I thought I was personally at risk (age + risk factors) from this thing that was allegedly causing people to die gasping for breath, probably the scariest thing about it as narrated.

        I also admit to taking scientific papers at face value, probably because of my positive experience in medical/scientific publishing (but in the textbook part, which is not on the whole pharma tainted).
        I knew that a new ‘vaccine’ technology was a risk, and I had to balance two unknown risks. I was also stupid enough to think my husband and his colleagues knew more than me. I also didn’t consider that the government and public health authorities were actively malevolent and totally captured, as opposed to just hyperbolic, incompetent and financially corrupt in a small-fry kind of way.

        So it only took eventual exposure to facts (from Roger Hodkinson, Reiner Fuellmich and Mike Yeadon in the first instance) to correct my trajectory. I do recognise that many people are entirely impervious to facts (like our current trolls).

    • elysianfield January 3, 2023 at 1:41 pm #

      I hope Hamlin makes it. After making his millions playing football, he might turn his attention to peace in the Middle East, or donating heavily to find a cure for cancer, or, or maybe discover cold fusion.

    his vitals are back to normal. – riverrunner

    ==========

    After rr reported the above statement I googled it for confirmation. It was indeed reported that a marketing rep with the team said “his vitals are back to normal.”

    Now, this morning, I have been looking for further info concerning his “vitals.” Can’t find a thing.

    I wonder what all would come under the heading “vitals?”

    . His heart is beating …….
    . His pulse rate is ……..
    . His blood oxygen level is ……
    . His blood pressure is …..

        ===========

        Mick, have you got a link for ^this^?

        I haven’t seen the word “vitals” used on the internet since late last night.

        • Mick January 3, 2023 at 6:41 pm #

          No I don’t. That news piece is now many hours old. I think most stories are now saying that his vitals are indeed now normal, but he is still in critical condition.

          I think that the window in which his vitals were stabilized was short. Or, it could be that the story I saw was pulled if it ended up being incorrect.

          The main thing is that he is still in critical condition, unless that has changed over the past hour.

          RR was essentially trying to say, “Oh look, he’s fine now so all you anti-vaxxers are wrong”.

          No. He’s not fine at all.

          • riverrunner January 3, 2023 at 6:50 pm #

      Vital signs are temperature, heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate. They added O2 saturation later.

      Is he off the ventilator? Because if the ventilator is providing the resp rare and the O2 sat, that’s not really “normal”.

      And you can be completely brain damaged and still have normal vital signs.

      • Paula D January 4, 2023 at 7:28 pm #

        My question has been answered. He is on a ventilator.

        Therefore his respiratory rate is not “stable” it is mechanical.

        No, I see what he’s getting at. It’s like all these movies with the non-stop soft-core violence, which actually glorifies it. If you want to show violence, you should show it realistically, which would make most sane people turn away and reject it altogether. As in, why don’t we see graphic war footage on the TV anymore, especially since we’re spending so much money on instigating it? Vietnam taught the Generals and the pols not to do that again.

        Football’s not-so-gradually going the same way with all the safety measures. Do they actually care about player safety? Only as much as it affects their TV ratings and bottom line. Other than that, they’d be perfectly fine with these guys killing each other, and the real kicker is, many if not most of the players would likely be just fine with it too.

            A small few, which is really all it takes to sow chaos, find it to be an adrenalinic, lizard-brain thrill.

            Part of human reality that makes life just a bit precarious even when all seems safe (see: “the knockout game”).

    Calling off a game due to a player’s injury is at least a rarity, possibly unprecedented. Yet I can understand it. With all the news reports of young healthy athletes dropping dead I don’t know of any happening in front of 60,000 live fans and another million eyes watching on TV. And it looked for all the world like the genuine article. He appeared to be dead on the field.

    Only 9 minutes of the first quarter had been played. All those fans filed out of the stadium. I assume the teams or the NFL will attempt to compensate the fans. What a huge mess that will be!!

    As Mrs saj points out, we are a large population spread out over many miles. An increased death rate will mean nothing to us, even if a couple of them are people we know, dying suddenly and unexpectedly.

    But when millions of people are watching TV and the players just drop dead, suddenly and unexpectedly, there is a risk that people will start to connect the dots.
    No matter if riverrat and his cohort believe any bullshit the squawking heads tell them, there is a risk to our overlords that the general population might actually wake up.

    So maybe they’ll just cancel all professional football out of a great (and sudden and unexpected) concern for the health and well-being of the players.
    Because isn’t it all about health?

    TR nearly banned college football around 1904, in which year there were about 18 gridiron fatalities. He didn’t want his sons playing the sport at Harvard, and at the time it was a game played primarily in the Ivy League. A local chap named Walter Camp “The Father of College Football”, worked with Roosevelt to make the game safer and less brutal, changing the rules and coming up with equipment like helmets and shoulder pads. This was before the NFL, which didn’t start out until the 1920s.

    This story……well, it just speaks for itself:

    Liverpool star Mo Salah is criticised by Muslim fans for his picture of a Christmas tree alongside his wife and daughters with ‘#MerryChristmas’ on social media

    He’s getting tweets from Liverpool fans saying they will no longer root for his team. Some say he has “cursed” Liverpool.

    Oh Britain. It doesn’t make me feel any better that you are just as effed up as the US is with this nonsense.

        There are whispers of Jim Jordan. That could see results.

        Jordan is one of a handful who I think would most definitely get things moving.

        That said, the assault on not just the US, but the West in general is so all-encompassing, that it is questionable whether anything whatsoever would be accomplished from a slim majority in a governing body in one country.

        No, I think the people are the only ones who can stop anything.

        • JohnAZ January 3, 2023 at 7:34 pm #

          The elected representatives are supposed to represent the problems and needs of their districts. Supposed to.

          That is the problem with the existence of the Deep State. The Deep State hates the fact they have to be re elected. They have developed a socialist government mentality where the people are subservient to the state. Aggravating this is the regionalization of the country, the East Coast mob runs the Deep State with help from California.

          The vote is supposed to make the government subsidiary to the people. That is why the Deep State spends lots of time and money trying to make the electorate permanently Liberal and therefore negating the effect of the voters.

    So can someone please enlighten me here. Why the big controversy over confirming McCarthy as House Speaker? He is from California, so I think that would certainly be a mark against him. As for Jim Jordan, why not him? An Ohio Republican….what could be better?

    As mentioned by BRH above, the Republicans are already mucking it up and showing their weakness through this division. This is not going to end well, and the Democrats will continue to divide and conquer (cheat) as a result.

    • Mick January 3, 2023 at 6:24 pm #

      The reason why a significant group of conservatives want to block Kevin McCarthy is because he has shown over the years to be an establishment bottle washer, so to speak. They don’t want the GOP to go back to being soft on out-of- control spending (passing these onerous bills with NO floor debates) and neo-con foreign policy.

      As far as someone saying, “Oh the Republicans are fucking it up again”. Well, time may ultimately tell that they are doing the right thing. The only way McCarthy can win is to give even more major concessions to the true conservatives. We’ll see. Got my popcorn popping.

      • JohnAZ January 3, 2023 at 7:09 pm #

        Yes, it is a contest between Deep State GOPers and true conservatives led by Chip Roy of Texas. The conservative group has 20 members which in the close GOP majority, 3 folks, can pretty much block everything. Roy sounds like a climber, believing in conservative ideals. Trump isn’t even the issue as Roy has had run ins with him.

        Roy has two really big issues with McCarthy, the first being the passage of the 1.7 trillion dollar spending bill. Roy wants the Senate RINOs punished by not allowing their bills to go on the House floor. Second is the priority setting in the House, Roy wants the power of the speaker to control bills to hit the floor, used extensively by Pelosi, to be diluted by allowing motions from individual members on the floor to be voted on by the House.

        Roy is aTexan, McCartney is a Californian. Basically a battle between the RINO and conservative sides of the party.

        How is Trump going to react may determine the future of the GOP. Dems are loving this, a majority of 3 means nothing in the GOP. Pelosi ran the House into the poor house with a majority of Four. McCarthy is no Pelosi.

        Time is ripe for Trump to take his base, mostly aligned with Roy conservatives, and create a new party to take power away from the Deep State. Right now, the Dems plus RINOs comprise the Uniparty. Roy is trying to stir the pot and has the ability to raise a little hell.

        • Mick January 3, 2023 at 7:28 pm #

          I’m thankful that Chip Roy is my Representative. But, sadly only for three more weeks. Due to redistricting I will once again have Democrat Lord Dodgett (Lloyd Doggett) as my Representative. Already feeling nauseous over this prospect. He’s an old fossil now who’s been in the House since the mid-80s. Just a Pelosi rubber stamp.

          Chip has been great. Anytime I emailed him he always replied within a day or two. And I could tell that it was he who was replying. Not a staffer. He’s really dedicated in serving his constituents, and he is a true patriot in the old sense of the word.

        • JohnAZ January 3, 2023 at 8:06 pm #

          Add on to this wish.

          The last time the House, the voice of the people deadlocked on its selection of Speaker, was 1856, the year of the creation of the GOP.

          A portend of things to come, hopefully.

          • Mick January 3, 2023 at 8:30 pm #

            ….and that was a factor that led to the civil war. The new party of Lincoln was not very friendly toward State’s Rights. That’s why when Lincoln won in 1860 the southern states started seceding. Not one southern state went for Abe.

    What? No blaming women for the fuckups of mankind, apekind, today?

    Ah, women.

    The grandmother smuggling dynamite in an accordion to kill nazis at great risk ages ago, the mother teaching letters and Mozart to the immigrants and the original inland darkies to feed her offspring while the baby boomer father fiddles and pursues pleasure outside the home, cheating like men do, the strong sister documenting the shark-life in waters off Patagonia and Antarctica to understand, save the creatures, the other playing guitar in bars and interviewing Jane Goodall for zines the cream of society won’t read, the wife whose body I still slowly discover when the mood hits and age is forgotten, the strong, wise, beloved wife who knows the seeds and the bees, the plant that will fix my toothache (Spilanthes, that. Toothache plant. Grow it!) the beautiful daughter mixing lattes and dreaming of being a chef, a pastry wizard.

    Who the fuck can rain condemnation on the better half of humanity? Who’s the imbecile?

    And the women that laid with me, got drunk with me, cared for me more than myself and cleaned my cleats and my cock before the rugby game, the mysterious witches, the ones that paid for the hotel, or the food, Reina Isabel of España, Queen Elisabeth of England, only in Guadalajara or Athens, writing poems in the wee hours, getting in fights at the bar over me, giving me their fragrant gash and their alien mind space, fixing me breakfast, curing my hurts.

    Why would a man live? Why not just check out? Women, that’s why. Them with a thousand flavours, them who cook greens and cut mint for neighbors, them who make a man anchored, safe in the world, them with life giving breasts, the ones who will jump and gauge the eyes out of a man’s enemy, them who would alibi-you, justify you, lie for you, love you, bite you.

    Glad this edition didn’t feature wanker boy, angry boy dissertations and fulminations about our better half, Jeremiads of ridicule… women, the Universal Female. Who doubts the Earth is our Mother, the Moon a woman and half of ourselves, men, mustached men, hairy tall men, a female too.

      Planet Inceladus

      As I’ve tried to explain months ago, in large part specifically to one or more characters hereon, women are just the other side of the same coin with men on the other (and maybe the infinitely-fluid genders around the circular edge that comes around and goes around) and that there are many ‘cool’ women out there.

      I’m unsure that some people, however, will get to know them, or easily know them, given their own dubious attitudes, etcetera, which become self-fulfilling prophesies to not getting the full pictures and so thinking that women or so-called blacks who whomever are somehow less cool.

      So it’s sort of like this:
      ‘Women are uncool because I, or my experiential bent/take, is uncool.’

      Sure, there are many dubious women out there– as there are many dubious men.

      Woe is you who is trapped in and feeding off your own self-reinforcing mired woe.

      It’s sort of masturbatory when you think about it.

        Women are weak and confused and the enemy always targets them. That’s how America was taken down. As Dr Duke says, it was the fatal blow, the dolorious strike.

        And of course the greatest weapon was no fault divorce with women doing most of the divorcing – more than 70%. Tempt not thy sister, for she will fall.

            I make way better sammiches than my wife. I also do all the meat, or I’ll end up hovering and asking her why she put it into a cold pan on low. Breakfast? Mine. Rice? Hers. She makes great scratch soup though, and I do not. Except for split pea, that’s my domain.

            I make the coffee and do the dishes and counters throughout each day, she does the laundry. We both tackle the bathrooms and floors from time to time, but there is no clear delineation there. I wish there were, but let’s be honest, who likes cleaning a bathroom?

            Anyway, I am ever thankful for my lady. But I don’t defer to her her with a grill or a fry pan, ever. I think that’s okay.

          Part of your and many others’ perceptual frameworks seem to be channelled and reflected largely inside, as in a fibre-optic cable, corporate and State government media and systems/rules/mindfucks, etc., despite the criticisms of them.

          There are at least two allegories for that sort of thing of course; Plato’s Cave and The Matrix.

          There are many anarchist and libertarian (and related) men and women who reject much of their crap and don’t bother much with corporate advertising, Hollywood, CNN, marriage, religion or government schooling or law.

          Too late, sucker. It was done.

          In the early 20th century, advertisers realized women like ads that made men look like fools. So they ran with it. Do you think they ever forgot about this or gave us a break?

          Never! Think the new rulers of America, post the JFK coup, didn’t know, weren’t dominant in advertising, media, and academia? Think Rulo isn’t with them if not one of them?

          • Mick January 3, 2023 at 8:44 pm #

            “In the early 20th century, advertisers realized women like ads that made men look like fools. So they ran with it. Do you think they ever forgot about this or gave us a break?”

            Then they got ‘the vote’, which made advertisers target them even more. Then when they started getting men’s jobs during WW2…..well, now they had their own spending money. And then the economy shifted after WoWoTwo to the point where both hubby and wife had to work. Or “had” to work. Then the pill came along…….Game-Set-Match.

            Ovah!

            And like the ads in the early 1900s, most TV shows and movies made men look like fools. Ads never stopped doing that to this day, of course.

          • Paula D January 3, 2023 at 8:51 pm #

            The proper phrase is “my better half”, not “the” better half.

          • The Man They Call Zazelle January 3, 2023 at 9:36 pm #

            Fair enough, Paula, but presumably we both know how the Captains of Woke/Dunning-Kruger and their followers can pick up some notions, warp them, or further twist them if they aren’t already distorted, make them their own and then run with them like God’s gospel.

            Furthermore, while I’m at it, presumably we both also know how some, maybe all, children, will sometimes try to get attention, even if it’s the negative kind.

            The attention, even if merely virtual, lavished– especially by women– on some could be viewed in a twisted sense by others as enviable. LOL

      Another: The poetess, what’s her name, wrote about how she loved to give blow jobs. Maybe Tusc, also known as Slur, will know.

        The fossil fuel culture has allowed the powers that be to confuse everyone about what men’s and women’s roles and work are in building a stable and functioning society. For example, when homes were heated with either wood or lump coal, you needed men to cut trees and make firewood, or men to dig into the earth to obtain coal. It required too much muscle for women to do these jobs effectively and safely. But there was much other work women were doing that was just as critical and just as necessary. It was just different, that’s all. Most men in the 1800’s didn’t have the luxury of living and working indoors under safe and climate controlled conditions along side the women. Today, everything is blurred and confused, and it was done deliberately to make controlling things easier.

        After the cheap petroleum and nat gas is all gone, men and women will return to the traditional roles they’ve been playing for at least the last 100,000 years.. There won’t be any other options.

    • Woodchuck January 4, 2023 at 10:03 am #

      Not quite sure what your point is here. Not all women are buying all the BS, but way too many are because they are being brainwashed from kindergarten all the way up to PHD level. It’s rubbish cooked up by cult people who live indoors all the time and spend their lives talking shit, writing garbage, and shuffling papers.

      Jennifer Galardi has been a leading voice in the health and wellness field, and just wrote this on a blog:

      “Maybe the rest of the women are silent because they know they promulgated a system that led to the very dissolution of women. Maybe it’s because they didn’t support women embracing and safeguarding the very thing that made them powerful—their wombs. Instead, they devalued the influence of women’s sexuality in courtship and insisted women become more like men. They rejected the idea that giving birth to another human being is possibly the most awe-inspiring achievement of human nature. In doing so, they led millions of women to become dissatisfied and disillusioned by the awesomeness of their biology.

      What many feminists can’t seem to grasp is that, ironically, in insisting society treat them more like men they’ve bolstered the patriarchy and toxic masculinity they so vehemently rally against. Many women complain that there aren’t any strong, masculine men out there without comprehending they are the ones who have emasculated them.”

      Yup. And the emasculation process starts when young males everywhere are herded into schools, placed under total female control, and introctrinated for many years by delusional and utterly mediocre female instructors. Instructors that should be clerking in Walmart instead of teaching.

    Oh. Did I haplessly blunder into unofficial snowflake safespace and/or is/was that rhetorical?

    Assuming it was, aside from it’s my holleedaze, I decided to make a pit-stop to wherever ‘here’ actually is to see how ‘here’ has evolved, or devolved, as the case may be.

    But why is anyone here?
    How about you, hun? why are you here. (without the question-mark)

    Why does anyone climb Mount Everest? Because it’s there?

          It’s Carghoul. Of boxed wine and apartment fame.

          When I mentioned Trae, I was referring to his brief appearance last week. He was so enraged by a comment of mine that he broke his promise never to return.

    In the latest issue of THE NEW YORKER, staff writer Louisa Thomas writes, with evident surprise on “The Terrifying Collapse of Damar Hamlin and the Everyday Violence of Football” and I naturally used CONTROL + F to see whether the word “vaccine” was in the article, which goes back to cases of on-field injury and death to the early 1900s. Lo and behold, nothing, nada, zip. So I will attempt to leave a little note for the little lady, and suggest that at the very least she might debunk any nasty horrible fake rumors that the mRNA was doing its merry work on the field that day. They really, really do seal off their minds. Right there in front of a hundred thousand plus goofs one of the giants of sports keels over with a heart attack. Uh-huh. Still wilfully avoiding the obvious.

    • MaryQueen January 3, 2023 at 9:09 pm #

      I think at this point if they acknowledge it, it would really open a powder keg.

        • MaryQueen January 4, 2023 at 10:29 am #

          Indeed. The fact they have to do so much ‘fact-checking’ and back-peddling and attempted suppression tells us all we need to know.

          And the only defense they have is “conspiracy theory!”

          That’s gonna get old.

    • Islander January 4, 2023 at 6:25 pm #

      Yeah, I saw a story in the NYT that made a point of emphasising that football is America”s most dangerous sport.

      As if football fans were just idiots who, after watching football games all of the blessed lives, would fall for this jive when they a player collapses with no pulse after an everyday football impact.

      I predict a new wave of “inquiries” as to how dangerous the contact sport football is, and how it can be made “safer.”

    Any body catch Tucker tonight?

    Dr. McCollough brought up the fact that the collapse on the field may have vaxx implications. That maybe myocarditis may have something to do with it.

    Under the spotlight: Excess deaths and the Covid vaccine

    By Sally Beck

    “FORMER Wall Street executive Edward Dowd, whom I interviewed for TCW last year, has been dissecting excess mortality statistics recorded since the Covid pandemic began three years ago. He has analysed and reanalysed the numbers and has concluded that excess death rates, in those aged 26-41, are closely related to the administration of Covid vaccinations.

    ‘From February 2021 to March 2022, millennials experienced the equivalent of a Vietnam war, with more than 60,000 excess deaths,’ he said. ‘The Vietnam war took 12 years to kill the same number of healthy young people we’ve just seen die in 12 months.’”

        Now you’re becoming desperate. Where has this info ever been debunked? Even the state propagandists are admitting that death rates are elevated. They try to spin it by saying people missed doctors appointments during the pandemic but they don’t deny it.

      • GreenAlba January 4, 2023 at 1:35 pm #

        riverrodent

        Ed Dowd’s book, ‘Unknown cause’ is coming out very soon. He knows the cause, but for the purposes of this book (his next will go into the cause) he’s sticking with the data. Pure data. That people can’t refute because it’s official government data and insurance industry data.

        He knows that the first thing to do is establish the data because the deniers can’t call data a conspiracy theory unless they’re totally unhinged, on a level with the dead parrott sketch.

  86. niner January 3, 2023 at 11:20 pm #

    I just hope someone finds Pelosi’s coffin and drives a stake through her heart.

    Only then, can we rest easy.

    We are going to look back on her and not be able to understand how that all happened.

    I thought when she tore up Trump’s State of the Union papers, she would start emitting billows of smoke and the building would shape.

    No speaker has ever so dishonored the post.

    Do you remember the look on her face while she leaned over Trump and leered at him. Pure evil.

        • riverrunner January 3, 2023 at 11:46 pm #

          “You are a librul….” dear gawd, this is the most dim-witted comeback. At this point, considering how vax denial has killed off many more republicans than democrats, I’m more than happy to be called ‘liberal’ on this point.

          • JohnAZ January 3, 2023 at 11:58 pm #

            You sure about that claim, where is your source?

            As usual. If the vaxx is as ineffective as even the CDC claims, I doubt if the virus cares who it infects.

            ‘If the vaxx is as ineffective as even the CDC claims, I doubt if the virus cares who it infects.’ Well, duh but what this comment reveals is that you really don’t know much about infectious diseases and mitigation measures.

      Niner

      She is representative of the Deep State, a concentration of power that has no other way but to be evil.

      A common pattern of history is the removal of evil from control, usually through war especially civil war. We have been warned in this country over and over that if you do not fight for liberty that the evil forces of government will be happy to take it away from you.

      We are living in those times, it is interesting that we are seeing events that are repeating history from one hundred years ago. Remember Fourth Turning’s premises. Also temper that after the House stalemate in 1856, civil war decided the issues four years later?

      Nuff said.

    • MaryQueen January 4, 2023 at 10:34 am #

      She is first and foremost the daughter of a mafia boss. It’s how she got where she is.

      • niner January 4, 2023 at 12:45 pm #

        And she had 9 children, doubtless with servants and tutors, but still she had to keep the household rebellions in check.

        I think that is where she learned and perfected her technique of irrational and paradoxical and emotional demands.

        Years back i saw a clip of her arguing some point w/Speaker John Boehner. She completely baffled him, such a stream of contradictory irrelevant “facts” and dominating, insistent jabbering, that he just gave in.

        I once had a master salesman use the same technique on me and a small group of women. It was almost like being stunned. I ended up wondering how he did that. I did not buy whatever he was selling. But he really confused our minds. And without raising our anger or defensiveness.

        Some people have perfected this technique.

        Here is a short sample of Pelosi’s talent:

  87. JohnAZ January 3, 2023 at 11:54 pm #

    To both sides,

    Men and women developed through history to do different things, have different roles.

    Mentation followed these roles, the idea that men and women are same brain is ludicrous.

    Even in the workplace, priorities are different between the sexes.

    Men have ALWAYS, on average, been more adventurous, more ready to look for greener grass, women concerned about hearth and home, not so much. Men protect women and kids by nature, women seek that protection.

    This is the nature that these three generations have inherited.

    Women, by nature, have the responsibility to produce the next generation. If not so, we would not be here. They need men to set up protection and help provide so they can be about that business. Men are here to provide that protection and more importantly, sperm.

    Throughout history, men have been tolerated by women as a necessary evil. But you women, let us not forget, a very very necessary evil.

    As roles conflict a lot, the war between the sexes will always exist.

    Irony! Why is it the most stable human relationship is between a man and a woman? What other relationship can last a lifetime?

    All the bickering on the blog on who is at fault for all the world’s problems, women or men is well, who cares. The answer is

    Both.sides need to put their big girls and boys panties on and work to get along, both macro and micro.

    • MaryQueen January 4, 2023 at 10:39 am #

      Men have more of a sense of adventure than women? Better try harder to convince women of that, given there are so many of us adventurers. Lots of famous ones as well. Want a list? We could start with Amelia Earhardt.

      According to Feminists (see Mary’s post), men have nothing that women don’t have but women have much that men don’t have.

      Thus they try to “out dick” us as OG said. So then men are encouraged to become feminine – thinking that was what women wanted from them. It wasn’t! They couldn’t win except by becoming women. Thus did Feminism lay the foundations of the tranny movement.

            Greenalba, Your comment doesn’t surprise me nor does everyone else’s comments on Darren Hamlin. When he dropped on the field, you didn’t see it as a tragedy, you and every other creep on here saw it as an opportunity to pounce on it, even to make a comment about his toy drive. I get it, you want to feel special, you and everyone else on here except for a small handful feel like your special, smarter than everyone else, you feel you’ve figured out a secret most can’t see….you may be too far down the hole to remove that tin foil hat.

            It’s now over $6M. Much of the money is coming from NFL star players, so that’s a good thing. They can certainly afford it, plus they get the good PR for doing it.

          • GreenAlba January 4, 2023 at 3:05 pm #

            I didn’t say a word about Mr Hamlin, kdolt. I commented on your amusing word ‘conclussions’.

          • GreenAlba January 4, 2023 at 3:08 pm #

            But I consider Mr Hamlin’s fate absolutely tragic, especially as it could probably have been avoided, like most of the current spate of athlete deaths of unimaginably-difficult-to-figure-out-cause.

            I haven’t actually noticed your commiserations on the 1114 athletes who have dropped dead of cardiac arrest since the rollout out of the miracle juice, but perhaps I missed them.

            GA,
            “Get over yourself” lol, nice try. You once again proved that all you do is jump up and down when an athlete dies, or for that matter, anyone who dies that it’s the vaccine… and if they didn’t take the vaccine, it must be because of being near someone who had the vaccine lol….It works for you and your echo chamber of idiots. You are one of the top 5 most self righteous twats on this site. It’s really sad….

            Being called a self-righteous twat by someone like you is a major compliment, so thank you.
            Meanwhile you haven’t provided any evidence about the 1114 dead athletes who’ve suffered cardiac arrests since the arrival of the miracle juice to suggest that it wasn’t the miracle juice that killed them.

            You are a quite appalling excuse for a human being. But then you would be, being a kakabird.

          • GreenAlba January 4, 2023 at 5:12 pm #

            Just tell us why you think the 1114 athletes died of cardiac arrest at nearly 50 times the background rate and we can take it from there, k-numpty.

          • kbird January 4, 2023 at 9:43 pm #

            Greenalba,
            You are a conspiracy theorist spreading your gospel that the COVID vaccine is deadly and truth is being suppressed. You and many others on here used an NFL player’s sudden cardiac arrest as a grotesque opportunity. And now your asking me to prove that it didn’t happen from the Vax. That’s not how science works. Evidence showing that X is a significant cause of Y is necessary before scientists think it’s a likely factor. Presuming otherwise violates a scientific principle so well known it’s become a cliche: correlation is not causation. Just because two things happened around the same time doesn’t mean one caused the other. And with Damar Hamlin’s cardiac arrest, we don’t even know if there’s correlation. Scientific analysis requires a baseline of skepticism, where the burden of proof falls on those making a causal claim. That doesn’t mean one should assume a theory is definitely false, just that it shouldn’t be considered likely until tested and supported by evidence.

            To test a theory, scientists need data; a universe of cases, a representative sample, not merely a few anecdotes that fit a preconceived conclusion. Otherwise a correlation between X and Y could be coincidence, or X and Y could both be caused by some factor Z. Telling people to assume, without evidence, that X caused Y until someone else proves that it doesn’t is the method of superstition, manipulation, and conspiracy theories. Don’t forget to take off your tin foil hat at some point, haven’t you heard, it’s dangerous.

          He’s not even a millionaire, much less a multimillionaire. He was drafted in the sixth round two years ago and makes the league minimum, which is around 800K per year. If he plays very well over the next two years, then he’ll get another contract that could pay in the millions per year. But he’ll have to be very, very good. He plays in the defensive backfield, and is not even a starter. He’s been playing in place of the starter who was hurt earlier in the season.

          Most likely he’ll never land a multi-million dollar contract. He’s a good player, but not great.

      John AZ and all the antivax peeps here,
      As your righteous crusade against Big Pharma and the former Trump Adminstration’s nefarious Covid 19 vaccination campaign continues into the new year, I have a non-rhetorical question that I’d like you to ponder. Why is it that as self-described patriots, so deeply concerned about the health and welfare of your fellow citizens, but in a country where in a recent BBC study reported that in 2020, for example, a total of 45,222 American’s died from gun-related injuries, as opposed to all the combined European nations, a population roughly 113 million greater than that of the U.S., in the same year saw a total of 6700 gun-related deaths (5000 of those suicides), you aren’t as vigorously carrying the fight to the NRA, an organization that was recently forced to declared bankruptcy due to gross fraud while continuing to spend millions opposing sensible gun control, or politicians like Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who in June of this year signed into law a bill that allows Lone Star residents to conceal and openly carry firearms without a license, permit or training? And let’s not even talk about the U.S. non-military firearms industry, which in 2022 racked up 19.6 billion in revenue, or the fact that news cycles can’t even keep up with incidents where school kids are being slaughtered in their classrooms. Why not go after the forces that continue to allow all these American citizens to be killed each year with the same strident effort you apply to vaccines? Seriously, I’d like to know.

            Then you talk about what to do. But the guns themselves, not necessariiy the cause.

            A bad drug though, an obvious cause.

      • JohnAZ January 4, 2023 at 2:02 pm #

        Well, I will try to give you my opinion on guns. BTW, I do not own one, nor plan to unless my neighborhood starts attracting punks from the city.

        The ascent of the gun toting criminal and Antifa element in our society is the reason Joe Everyman goes out and buys guns.

        The decline in police protection is the reason folks are arming themselves.

        The traditions of the old west that folks protect themselves from danger adds on to why arms are bought.

        A race against criminals is the reason that higher level weapons are bought.

        Ex military folks are trained onto weapons and feel comfortable having them around for protection.

        Some folks just collect them.

        Philosophically, Americans are rebels against authority. Want proof, just drive down the road and note how many people do the speed limit. The second amendment was written by rebels. The gun has been part of American society since it was a necessity for obtaining meat and protection. Do you think we have any less need for protection today than two hundred years ago? IMHO, we need more.

        You want less use of guns, reduce the threat. Punks will find away to do violence even if guns do not exist. Finally, the wonderful law enforcement agencies of this country, whose job is our protection, cannot stop these shootings you are talking about, even when the punks are on watch lists and buy guns anyway.

        The anti gun lobby has little to stand on, their main intent is the Dis arming of America in preparation for Amerika.

        • JohnAZ January 4, 2023 at 2:09 pm #

          The answer

          A real FBI leading state and local law enforcement to adequate levels to stop the advance of Liberally inspired criminality.

          Proof of this? The border, where much of the increase of criminality has come from.

          Speaking of which is in Colorado where Polis the governor is starting to send illegals to New York and Chicago. Both cities are raising hell over it. A total failure of the federal government and federal law enforcement and a huge inspiration of border state residents to arm themselves.

      • stelmosfire January 4, 2023 at 2:07 pm #

        America, guns, 25,000 murders a year. 40 years =1,000,000 people. Europe, no civilian guns, 2,000,000 innocents killed a year 1942-45, 8,000,000 people OK Europe wins. I think the Europe numbers are a little low and the American numbers are mostly shitbirds and gang members.

        I haven’t seen any gun mandates, neither from the government nor from corporations.

        I haven’t seen the media telling us that the gunshot victims lying on the ground bleeding out are victims of “climate change” or “dog owners” or “it is totally normal to lie on the ground bleeding. It has happened for years”.

        I haven’t seen the government decree that guns for 2 to 5 year olds are now approved and the kids can’t go to school without having a gun.

    • Disaffected January 4, 2023 at 1:23 pm #

      I think their ultimate goal is 2, 3, or ~maybe~ 4 conferences for the big boy teams at the top. Much more of an NFL-like setup, further blurring the lines between shamatuerism and full-blown professionalism. The upside being the regular season will take on more meaning if the good teams play only each other, but the downside being that will further drive a wedge between the hyper-wealthy teams at the top and the rest of the schlubs – although that’s likely occurred already.

      In that light, some have even suggested promotion/relegation being considered as a sort of play-in system for the schools on the margins, such as both Ruckers and Nebraska at the current time.

      Taking all of that to the logical extreme, I have to wonder if all this couldn’t eventually evolve into a sort of farm team system like baseball has, where a certain team or teams sponsored either entire university teams or (more likely) specific players, and then placed them on the University teams of their choice to develop them for a future in the NFL. As it is, the creme of the crop only stay in school two years now before going pro, and the court ruling allowing the NFL to restrict them based on age is subject to being overturned someday as age discriminatory. Being declared fully professional at the college level might be a way around that.

          Yes, they’ve completely turned the corner now with the NIL $$. That said, the players were just following the Universities’ lead in all this. They’ve been raking it in for years under the guise of it paying for everything else. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t.

        • JohnAZ January 4, 2023 at 2:29 pm #

          Why not start college football being a minor league for the NFL, using the pro teams to place the players into colleges and running the show to grow and extract talent.

          • Disaffected January 4, 2023 at 3:07 pm #

            Yep. That’s what I suggested above. As it is now, universities are already going after commits (non-binding, obviously, at least so far) from kids as young as 6th and 7th grade. But the NFL could then turn around and hold a supplemental draft (for instance) for high schoolers coming out and then place them in preferred college programs for development.

            Most of this carries a marked resemblance to the Euro football and cycling systems, where they just dispense with the universities altogether and have junior semi-pro development leagues. The only difference here being that the universities already have their fingers in the pie and they damn sure ain’t giving that up for nothing. Not to mention the whole current marketing scheme, traditions, TV contracts, etc, etc.

    Repeat attempt …

    Slightly O.T., John Ward the UK bloger (who, confusingly, lives in Gambia) reports that the UK government is about to cut the basic state pension, which you call ‘social security’ I believe

    therealslog dot com/2023/01/04/explosive-hunt-in-bid-to-raid-state-pensions/

    NB: the UK doesn’t pay an earnings-related state pension. That system was sold off to the City of London ~35 years ago. The basic state pension is £7,000-9,000 per year, currently equating to $8,500-10,800. 40% of over-65s in the UK have no other means of support.

    F***.

    Definitely the most *screw the poor* UK government in the past 75 years. But it’s reacting to drastic financial circumstances … a hard time for any country.

    It’s worth reading the 1971 book ‘The Collapse of British Power’. This has been going on for ages.

    Crime and Punishment

    …I got a call yesterday. A sobbing voice that sounded vaguely familiar. He Called me “Grandpa” and said he needed help. He was in an auto accident, therein broke his nose and further, that he was arrested for drunk driving and was currently locked up in Las Vegas. He needed bail money, and he was afraid to contact his parents because he was so ashamed. I asked him if he was still in Alaska, and he said that he drove down to Nevada with a friend to attend a funeral. I then, sounding a bit confused, I asked him what his mother’s name was…he mumbled an unfamiliar name.

    I told him that I had to go, but if he remembered his mother’s name, to call me back….

      They get more creative every day, don’t they? I had a minor scammer last year, posing as a bill collector. Called up saying my account was in arrears and told me to stay on the line for a payment specialist, me knowing full well that wasn’t true. Turned out, all they wanted to do was get me on the line long enough to pose some election survey questions. I hung up, but I had to admit that was pretty ballsy.

      I get persistent calls from ‘Officer Sanchez’ from the IRS; apparently, she is opening a tax case against me, and would I confirm my SS #? Strangely, Officer Sanchez speaks with an south Asian accent.

      • Disaffected January 4, 2023 at 4:10 pm #

        That sounds like a pretty good one. Wonder how many people they’ve trapped with that one? My mom probably would have fell for it, as someone borrowed her SS# a few years ago to claim illegitimate tax refunds.

      I got an offer a few years ago. More than I was asking, for a couple of air-conditioning units. The overage, said the buyer in an email, was to pay the guys he was sending to retrieve the units. The cashier’s check was endorsed by “Woodrow Wilson”.

      I called the State Police. They said go to the Sheriff’s office – despite the fact that the attempted crime crossed county lines. The Sheriff’s office said call this number at the State Police. The State Police internet crime unit (or something like that) said the pick-up guys would never “roll on” the guy who put them up to it – honor among thieves, right? – so they said forget about it.

      So I made another call.

      Then I emailed the scammer back to set up a rendezvous. Sonofabitch must be psychic, because he never showed up.

    Due to the unfortunate incident during the Monday Night football game this week I feel compelled to make an admission:

    I was something of a star football player in my day and could very probably have earned millions as a pro but I sprained the pinky finger on my left hand and decided to change sports (I became a pool player) and to aim for accountancy as my vocation. It has not been easy passing up the lure of fame and glory. 🙂 🙂

    • Disaffected January 4, 2023 at 4:04 pm #

      I thought as much! Those pinky finger injuries can be quite debilitating.

      As a real world aside, I actually broke my left pinky finger (no shit!) playing playground football as a young lad and then didn’t get it set. Didn’t want to be a mama’s boy and see the doc, or something stupid like that. It’s been deformed ever since. Can just barely get it into a glove now. But needless to say, I never had a hope in hell of going pro (or even jr. varsity, for that matter), so I wisely forwent tackle football from there on out. One of my few better decisions in life.

    • Disaffected January 4, 2023 at 4:07 pm #

      You’re developing quite the acerbic wit there, Q!

      I’m afraid to admit it, but I LOL’d the above.

        Who do ya got in the Championship Game Horn Frogs or Bulldogs?

        I notice in some of the bowl games there were a few teams with .500 records or worse. UCONN got into a bowl game this year with a 6-6 won loss record, but some of those losses were by over 50 points. At one time UCONN was ranked 90th out of 128 Div I programs. These college bowl games ain’t what they used to be. Q, did Ruggers get in one?

        • Disaffected January 4, 2023 at 5:29 pm #

          I like TCU, but I think Georgia will be too much for them. Too much size and talent on both sides of the line of scrimmage. But TCU’s still got a sprinter’s chance. They’re fast and feisty as hell. Plus the QB’s from the same town I went to HS.

    • Blackbird January 4, 2023 at 4:31 pm #

      I hear ya bro.

      Broke my right pinky finger playing dodgeball in fourth grade. Walking in shame to the sidelines – I didn’t catch the ball, so I was out – I grabbed that weird-looking finger – about 90 degrees, up and to the right, from where it should have been – and snapped it back into place. I was in the next game. That finger is still crooked, but works just fine.

      I was a better man then.

    Klaus Schwab’s WEF has declared that people should not own cars but instead “walk or share.” The WEF believes that too many people own their own cars and this situation must be rectified by pricing them out of the market.

    https://twitter.com/SikhForTruth/status/1610585128404942851?cxt=HHwWhoDUsYOp-dksAAAA

    As I keep saying: This is why they want to move to EVs. EVs are the bridge to no car ownership.

      NO, I’ve got a different take. I think as the market expands and matures EV’s will become much less expensive. They will not be hybrids but plug-in models. Thing is the cords will only be a couple of hundred feet long so we’ll all be staying much closer to the hive.

      • Night Owl January 4, 2023 at 5:48 pm #

        Your take is made under the assumption that this all involves organic market forces, advances that benefit the greater good, and a genuine need for such technology at scale.

        They literally tell you that you will own nothing. Then they proceed to take things away from you.

        You don’t need a car in their world. Because you are a plebe.

      • JohnAZ January 4, 2023 at 7:25 pm #

        Disagree.

        You are basing your thesis on the fact that mass production cheapens cost per unit.

        The EV is costed based on scarcity of raw materials which is already starting to affect the prices. EVs have gone up in price, not down to date.

        As hybrids are not dependent on rare earths, they will decline in price. Their gas usage reduction is only about 20%, so the additional cost is questionable.

        Toyota is going to base their future on plug in hybrids. I own one and for the typical urban/suburbanite lifestyle will save 70% on gas. Getting close.

        EVs have lots of problems to ever think of being a Joe Everyman vehicle.

        The Green dream is a hallucination.

    • gustafson.robert.22 January 4, 2023 at 5:30 pm #

      Silly that they promote all these contortions (bug-burgers, carpooling, etc.) to deal with overpopulation pressures, but the obvious and simple solution, actual intentional depopulation, is not promoted.

      (And, no… the vaccine is bad, but not an effective depopulation tool. Evidence of actual effective WEF depopulation initiatives is still presumptive.)

      • Night Owl January 4, 2023 at 5:46 pm #

        Just imagine if the aim involved more than “depopulation.”

        Now imagine that you can read about their plans to create a digital plantation on which you only get access to their infrastructure and all it provides if you do as they say.

        Just imagine.

        • gustafson.robert.22 January 4, 2023 at 5:53 pm #

          I’m not as worried about it as you, because I don’t think they will succeed with any of it. Just hot air and sick dreams. If they legitimately planned to succeed, would they publish the plans? (No.)

          • MaryQueen January 4, 2023 at 8:11 pm #

            They’ve already succeeded with enough to destroy millions or billions of lives, ruin cities, industries, etc. But naw…. they will never pull it off.

            It’s just a question of placing a blanket over people’s heads and eyes where they can calm down enough to be further handled. So keep an eye on the protests. If they boil up too much, just take them off the heat a little until they simmer down, then turn up the head again, and so on. While diddling with the heat, of course stir the pot too, that way it gives them more distraction and so they may not react as much to increases of heat. Add spices too and water cannons.

          • Night Owl January 6, 2023 at 3:26 am #

            Yeah. Here is a 2010 video of sociopath and current “chief public health officer” Teresa Tam (one of the many Little Eichmanns of the past few years) telling the world on live TV how they would treat noncompliants in a diseas- outbreak scenario involving vaccination. Something they never would have cooked up, ofc.

            https://twitter.com/Kukicat7/status/1607849109515374592?cxt=HHwWgMC8keKPndAsAAAA

            As stated, this dates from 2010. They never meant to succeed you see. All of this has just been a half-hearted effort that they wanted to fail at.

    The White House Spokesperson is an important job. The current incumbent, Karine Jean-Pierre struggles heavily with the Binder of pre-scripted quotes, and the treatment of those in the WH Press Corps trying to ask serious questions are often replied to in a derogatory way by KJ-P. Recently, it clicked as to who KJ-P reminds me of: the Ed Sullivan-era ventriloquist puppet, Topo Gijo.

    The “Republican agenda is the Democratic agenda of ten years ago. They support gay marriage, LGBTism, red flag laws, mass immigration, “anti-racist” libtardism, globalism and so on.

    Their refusal to represent the interests of their base is the reason they botched the midterms. Rather than provide the American people with any concessions following their embarrassing performance, the GOP establishment doubled down by re-nominating McCarthy and Ronna McDaniel to lead the party.

    I applaud Gaetz and the other “infidels” for standing up against these sellouts.”

    “I own the Speakership” is not working. 14 years… time to ReElect Nobody.

    True to form, looks like commotio cordis is already being semi-officially accepted by the sports talk crowd and associated fans as the cause of Hamlin’s cardiac arrest Monday night. NFL didn’t even need to push it, just put it out there and let the rubes run with it. Will chest and abdominal hits (one of the few areas they can still hit) be the next thing to be outlawed? How about Kevlar vests for the general public? Wouldn’t want to run into someone by mistake at the supermarket and send them into cardiac arrest!

    Deep-Dish State

        The so-called Americans (the ones who accept the State indoctrinate programming of course) could reconfigure their society (magically of course) into a Deep-Dish State that bombs the world with its special brand of deep-dish pizza and democracy. Instead of extraordinary rendition tomato sauce and torture cheese.

        But at least for now, we can opt for Kunstlervision and feeling content that we’ve worked toward that by saying stuff like, oh he did that and they will get him and I wonder if they are thinking about that angle and if they will be prosecuted or just impeached and stuff. Wait what? He did that? Well she’s a democrat and they do things like that,and it might come out. But maybe it will leak out and this new guy presents hope that the swamp will be taken care of, or cleaned out, or whatever or however swamps are dealt with. Until the following year, when oh my god I can’t believe they would say that about them but it serves them right because of how they went after them before the elections. And that happened to them too but still… and it is only a matter of time before they get them and what’s their due…

        Hell no, what are you talking about? Ramp that oven up another 300 degrees and that will be our slow cook. Then take them out, cool them down and borrow some extra Saran wrap from that chick who was going to do that to herself. I think the technical term for Saran wrap is cellophane, but I could be wrong. But anyway, let them cool down before otherwise you’ll melt the Saran wrap.

    Thoughts on the new format;

    1) The red reminds me of Jesus…who spoke red…you can look it up…or ask Jerek, who knows of these things.
    2)The red proliferation might be a metaphor for our Host and his current political leanings…red state, blue state thing….
    3)The clean, new format reminds me of the men’s room at the Greyhound bus station…clean, but vaguely ascetic and unsettling, especially if you hang out there looking for friends.
    4) I’m old, and resistant to change. unlike my friend who hangs out at the bus station.

    I expect it is a work in progress, and will evolve…maybe see an “edit” function?

    I’d be interested to hear the actual views of the MAGA people here with regard to the clown-show of the election for Speaker. These hard-out MAGA congresspeople are not actually achieving anything positive, are they? It’s a shameful embarrassment to my way of thinking.

    The greatest irony would be if a whole bunch of McCarthy supporters choose to vote “present”, neutralizing the school-yard bullies and Jeffries wins. Ha!

    • SoftStarLight January 6, 2023 at 3:43 am #

      They are actually achieving a great deal. First of all the House should be busy with debate like this every time there is a bill to consider. But most of the gov now is just auto pilot and not connected to any representation at all. It sounds like you prefer government without consent or representation. The holdouts have been able to move the entire discussion to the right. Unfortunately most people have no idea how our government is supposed to work. Which is of course why we are essentially failing is a country. A win for Hakeem Jeffries would be a loss for every single McCarthy supporter as they would lose the constituencies that voted them in forever. On the other hand there is not much distance between McCarthy and Jeffries. Both are Uniparty darlings.

  110. Night Owl January 6, 2023 at 3:39 am #

    Looks like eleven (eleven!) votes now and the globalist WEF-backed McCarthy still can’t get a majority.

    How much longer will McC and co. continue to embarass themselves?
