If Quentin Tarantino made a James Bond movie, the villain would be a maniac named Klaus Schwab, played with a light touch by Christoph Waltz, leading a SMERSH-like org bent on turning the world into a utopia of robots, and, of course, absolutely everything would go wrong, leading to a joyously comical bloodbath in the climax. Are we living in that movie, one wonders?

In real life — is there even such a thing anymore? — Klaus Schwab is the octogenarian head of the World Economic Forum (WEF), the NGO that hosts the annual cavalcade of global villains at Davos, Switzerland, held every January in perfect designer snow, with the raclette melting temptingly on the hearth, endless flutes of Bollinger R.D. Extra Brut making the rounds, and plenty of pretty young things on hand, only some of whom know a reverse repo from an Appenzeller Sennenhund. Must be fun as all git-out.

The Davos meeting is ostensibly called to improve the state of the world (ha!), and thereby inspires countless paranoid fever dreams in the minds of many who would prefer to be spared utopian social experiments, especially from plans drawn by billionaire bankers who view the present surfeit of mankind on this planet (some 7.6 billion) as cluttering up the joint — all these unnecessary hoi polloi filling the oceans with their yukky plastic, making navigation difficult for the Davos yachting crowd… or something like that.

Klaus Schwab has been shockingly literal about his wished-for utopia, summing up his vision as, “You will own nothing, and you will be happy about it.” Hmmm, no property… and then what? Logically, no corpus of contract law to regulate it?  Farewell pesky US constitution. (Let’s face it, it’s been falling apart lately, anyhow.) How’s that going to make folks happy? Can I at least keep my Waterpik and my flyrod?

And what about your property Klaus?  And the property of your nonagenarian buddy George Soros, including all the cash money he’s been sprinkling around the USA to fund the election of utterly incompetent Attorneys General and District Attorneys, so as to sow chaos in America’s streets? What about your pal Bill Gates’s property… those hundreds of thousands of acres he’s buying up across the American grain belt? And the half that goes to Melinda under California divorce law. Will the poor girl have to make those dreary trips to the Safeway on her own?  Will there even be supermarkets? Or just distribution depots like the old soviet glory days, with long lines for schmoozing?

A few other particulars from Klaus’s 2030 agenda: No more meat-eating for you! It’s a waste of energy and a carbon spewer. You will eat artificial “plant-based meat” from Bill Gates’s soybean fields, self-propagated like giant boneless garden slugs on Bill Gates’s factory walls. Pass the Sriracha, Klaus! Next, no more national borders. The teeming poor evacuating their wretched overpopulated homelands must be free to overpopulate your homeland and make it equally wretched. Of course, no more fossil fuels! The planet is overheating so badly that there may not be any snow in Davos, and the Davos elect do not intend to don lederhosen and march up and down the bare Jakobshorn ski trails yodeling like goat-herds.

There is considerable unease among the sentient hoi polloi about the WEF exercise going forward this summer called the Cyber Polygon simulation. The idea is to game-out a cyber-attack aimed at bringing down the global financial system.  The reason folks are nervous is because the WEF held a somewhat similar simulation in October 2019 for a hypothetical pandemic disease outbreak, and, guess what? We got the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak a few months later. This has led some observers to hypothesize that Klaus and his WEF might have had something to do with the Covid-19 outbreak, and that an actual global financial train-wreck will be in the works shortly after Cyber Polygon, opening the door for Klaus’s heralded Great Reset.

Personally, I have no data to suggest these things are linked to one another. What’s more, if ever a complex system had evolved to self-destruct spectacularly on its own, it would be the global financial system, but especially the parts of it currently running in the USA and in Euroland, based on the Big Rock Candy Mountain economic model: Need money to run your society when your standard of living has outrun your productive capacity? Just pick hundred dollar bills off the money trees! That’s how we roll.

America’s empty suit, “Joe Biden,” travels to Euroland this week to confab with his supposed counterparts. He’ll drop into the G-7 meeting in Cornwall, UK, where the head honchos of foreign lands will perhaps get a chance to size him up for twenty minutes between naps; he’ll meet Queen Elizabeth, who was appointed a Counsellor of State before “Joe Biden” was out of his diapers (will she appreciate his wit?); he’ll drop into a NATO Summit in Brussels and meet with Turkey’s President Erdogan — better wear protective head-gear, Joe — and finally, the main event on June 16, Mr. Biden will meet with Vladimir Putin, wherewith, we’re given to believe, Mr. B will “discuss matters of mutual interest” with the Russian president. Oh, to be a fly on the wall in that room!

Meanwhile, speaking of crashing financials, the Bank of International Settlements’ (BIS) Basel 3 net stable funding requirement goes into effect before the end of June. That’s a mouthful, I know, but the net effect will be the demise of the “paper” gold markets that have been used by interested parties to queer the gold price and thus protect the value of the dollar for decades. Combine that move with the — what? — $11-trillion that “Joe Biden’s” handlers seek to print-up and distribute the next year or so and it kind of looks like the US dollar should be given last rites. Prepare to reset yourselves to flat broke.

      Yes. Today’s essay is full of gems.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder June 7, 2021 at 11:58 am #

        I can think of two posters here who may not enjoy the topic very much though. I mean, why write an entire blog post on an obvious fictional conspiracy theory??

        • O.G. Hawkins June 7, 2021 at 12:58 pm #

          Yes indeed, Mr M. One can bury their head in the sand or one can soar with eagles. No one does both.

          • bluedog June 7, 2021 at 3:41 pm #

            Well seeing the eagle is a vulture, I guess you would be about right..

          • O.G. Hawkins June 7, 2021 at 4:25 pm #

            Eagle, any of many large, heavy-beaked, big-footed birds of prey belonging to the family Accipitridae (order Accipitriformes). In general, an eagle is any bird of prey more powerful than a buteo. An eagle may resemble a vulture in build and flight characteristics but has a fully feathered (often crested) head and strong feet equipped with great curved talons. A further difference is in foraging habits: eagles subsist mainly on live prey. They are too ponderous for effective aerial pursuit but try to surprise and overwhelm their prey on the ground. Like owls, many decapitate their kills. Because of their strength, eagles have been a symbol of war and imperial power since Babylonian times. Their likeness is found on Greek and Roman ruins, coins, and medals.

        Agree wholeheartedly!
        Loved this one:
        the Big Rock Candy Mountain economic model. LOL

        Also agree that the Cyber Polygon simulation is quite ominous. I wonder if Bill Gates will also host something similar to the Event 201, held the same day the World Military Games began in Wuhan, which described a novel Coronavirus that could kill 70 million people, see https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/

      I’ve recently read a great book, “Red Plenty” a fictionalized account about Soviet economic policy setting and consequences. Don’t laugh, I really found it engrossing.
      There were haunting echos of the noises our masters make when telling us about their next N year plan

  2. PeteAtomic June 7, 2021 at 10:00 am #

    Good morning, Jim. Thanks for the blog today.

    The ‘Great Reset’ is really just another name for a form of neo-feudalism, with such aristocrats as Schwab, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos, are cast as the new liege lords of the system. These people may believe they are doing good deeds, but the road to hell is indeed paved with good intentions. What it really is is yet another layer of the matrix of control that has been spun around the individual. As you point out, such fundamental & historic individual liberties like personal property or privacy are being explained away in a fresh type of NewSpeak by these oligarchs. For them, the idea of individual choices are the main problem. The choice of what to eat, to divulge to others, to defend oneself, or to choose what to think with the freedom of your own mind– these are the things that must be “Reset” so that billions of individuals live & die under the rule of their golden thumbs.

    • Ishabaka June 7, 2021 at 10:03 am #

      Workers are not in demand, with robots.
      So depopulation is ‘in’.

    • Night Owl June 7, 2021 at 11:33 am #

      Pretty much, Pete.

      I keep saying, this is pretty much the only thing that matters right now. Particularly if one reads about what they’d like to do if they are able to mandate these vaccines.

      The fake pandemic and vaccines are being used to bring in a reorganized society and control structure. The vaccines could also actually be developed to harm us, given how much Gates and co. talk about depopulation, but that remains to be seen — beyond the deaths and injuries that could be explained by the lack of proper testing and the rush to profit from them.

      I recommend everyone visit the Stiftung Corona-Ausschuss where a bunch of very big brains are discussing these things in a very sober manner and connecting quite a few dots with hard evidence. Many episodes are dubbed in or held in English.

    Every people’s revolution I’ve ever read about ends with people like Klaus headless. I wonder if he reads the same history as I do. I wonder why he thinks this time will be different.

    • O.G. Hawkins June 7, 2021 at 10:36 am #

      I am sure that Klaus has access to history that would blow your noggin, LH.

      What’s different this time?

      Planning & Technology come to mind immediately. They have been imlementing this plan since they formed in 1717. Their plan included Free Market Capitalism growing Technology into all-seeing and all-hearing surveillance of a zombified populace. Check.

      This is different because it is “Peaceful” and Global. This jab database allows the herding of all of Humanity for the first time ever and without a shot fired or people trekking to Bethlehem. All of Humanitiy. That is, not only the 4.3% of people that are American but the other 95.7% of us as well.

      This is different because of our 50-year run of “prosperity” on fiat Petro-Dollars. Their plan included looting the efforts of Billions for decades. Their plan was to allow the average Joe the opulence of lying on his back in the Mexican or Jamaican sun with a piña on its way 1 week/year and cruise in private luxury SUV comfort the rest. That is, they let the cake rise to its fullest before taking it out of the oven.

      Even the historical deaths that I presume that you speak of (France 1770s & Russia 1910s) were actually merely parts of their plan.

      ——

      USA was exceptional. Exceptional in the sense that it was Queen’s rook’s pawn while War was waged elsewhere on the board.

      • MaryV June 7, 2021 at 11:46 am #

        I gotta go with OG here.

        They would like us to believe that it was the little guy who took down the royalty in the French Revolution.

          On the eve of the Black takeover of South Africa, Mandela suddenly announced the new nation would not be Communist, but rather Socialist. The International Corporations weren’t going anywhere and the people weren’t going to own them. If he decided differently, he would have been taken out.

    • Ron Anselmo June 7, 2021 at 10:44 am #

      Agreed Liz, 100%, very well said – headless or a headshot. On history (and preservation of same) – that’s precisely why the Marxists want to erase history.

      They can then teach our children that there was never a time in which people did not follow orders, did not do what they’re told and just simply comply.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder June 7, 2021 at 12:14 pm #

        They already are starting in the grade schools. Well, they haven’t been able to completely dismiss the way people used to be as fiction (yet), but they certainly have diminished those that came before us as simple-minded and barbaric.

        Bullshit. Same people we ever were, just easier times. Sooner the kids learn that the better. But that isn’t the plan at the moment…

        • Dr_Wellington_Yueh June 7, 2021 at 4:30 pm #

          I observed long ago that humans are just getting stupider with every generation. I think about Lewis & Clark…they crossed a grizzly-infested continent with their bare hands and a few muskets. It takes a quick, agile mind to survive over several different landscapes with differing types and levels of sustenance available.

    • Not_GeorgeT June 7, 2021 at 10:52 am #

      They always think this time will be different. It’s the part of the history they choose to ignore, likely due to myriad reasons, a common thread being they are convinced they are just better than the rest of us.

      They…. always an interesting collective suiting many circumstances.

      History is now available to us mostly in the form of online – quickly editable – format. So we don’t all read the same history nowadays unfortunately and that is the reason why we should read and preserve any and all history books and encyclopedias on our bookshelves where history cannot be altered at will by a Google technocrat under the orders of Pichai Sundararajan.

      • Blackbird June 7, 2021 at 5:57 pm #

        Also a good reason to copy web-based resources to your hard drive. Besides changing, stuff keeps disappearing.

        I’m visiting a couple used bookstores this week, on the hunt for 1970’s dictionaries and history books. With so much revisionism happening, want some books from that era.
        Wish I had kept my books from American and European history college classes.

    • Yohannon June 7, 2021 at 11:50 am #

      Agree with OG. They are so, so much better at it now. Their plans are very, very well laid. They lost their heads? The people behind the French Revolution? No. The middle men did. Later Napoleon did lock up one big Banker who happened to actually live in France. International Bankers were already a thing. He realized that he was still running things from prison. He then put him in the deepest, darkest dungeon and that was the end of him – unless his buddies managed to get him out somehow.

      Capitalism and Communism are now working together in very close tandem – not trying to hide their agreement. Communist Ideologues want stuff too. Blacks are very easy to buy off, typically as Buy Large Mansions show. Browns may be harder.

      Liz,

      Klaus and Co. are writing history. It will treat them well.

      What is happening is not a people’s revolution, it is a revolution of the elite. It is the people headed toward the guillotine.

      If, on the other hand, you mean a yet-to-happen counterrevolution of the people against the elite, I can’t see that happening due to extreme asymmetry of resources.

      But I would like to see that big white cat batting that bald head around the kitchen floor.

That was back when the Chinese population was not as large as it is today.

    Thanks for today’s offering, JHK. Brilliant as always. The ability to find humor in our situation is key to not giving up or into the maniacs in charge.

    I often wondered how just a handful of individuals with power could do what Hitler & co. did but now it’s apparent. Great propaganda, mass hypnotism, and marketing, plus the key people Soros & co. put in place, to enforce the new rules. That’s about it. And people give up everything, and allow themselves to be used as lab rats. Easy peasy.

    Last night I talked with a friend from childhood, who I hadn’t seen since. She said she got her grandkids and herself vaxxed so they could go to a concert.

    The hoi polloi is going to move fairly easily into techno-feudalism, it would appear.

    • SW June 7, 2021 at 11:12 am #

      @MaryV —

      “to enforce the new rules.” Exactly. A family member will be flying to America later this year and I was reading the newest rules on line for the pandemic. A child two or older must wear a mask the entire time. This is a ten hour flight! Every study shows children are at zero risk of getting it, transmitting it or being seriously ill. And the cabin crew will be enforcing those rules or you can be put on a list and denied flight privileges in the future. I’ve heard the announcements when I’ve flown and there’s no doubt in my mind they mean it.

      So –“I often wondered how just a handful of individuals with power could do what Hitler & co. did but now it’s apparent.”

      The Third Reich thrived b/c the majority of the people not only obeyed the rules but were willing enforcers.

        Belief and commitment are everything. You can burn an American flag since “it’s your flag”. It was made in China and you own it. You got a receipt! But if you burn a Gay or BLM flag, you’ll get stomped and may to jail for a hate crime.

        As a sophisticated American, you believe in little and agree that a person should have a right to burn “their flag”, right? Are you sophisticated enough to realize how weak that makes us? That there literally is no us anymore once devalue our collective symbol?

        If most people don’t follow the rules, you have nothing. The rules should make sense and be for the good of the collective. The Nation. The Folk. Not aliens or non-folk.

          A flag is just a piece of material if the ideals they represent have deteriorated. That’s the point unfortunately that’s made. To a lot of people the flag still and always will represent the ideals of America even though the corruption is on full display.

        • SW June 7, 2021 at 5:20 pm #

          @ Yohannon.

          The flag itself is a powerful symbol & that’s why the Confederate flag was such a bone of contention. IMO only the American flag should be flown over government buildings & people can fly the BLM or gay flag or even the Confederate flag at their own home. It’s part of freedom of expression whether anyone else likes it or not.

      • MaryV June 7, 2021 at 2:32 pm #

        Most Americans now are so brainwashed I think they’ve outdone the proverbial “Good Germans” when it comes to clamoring for police state totalitarianism in the name of ‘keeping them safe’.

        If only they would just stay home and live under their beds with their fear instead of insisting the entire world around them change to ‘keep them safe.’

        Here is how you handle the 10 hour flight with the two year old to keep the mask off:

          @ MaryV —

          Most people want to obey laws that are reasonable and for everyone’s benefit, like traffic laws. I don’t think many people had any idea before this pandemic how extensive and repressive these rules “for our own good” would be used to control and circumvent our lives — and how compliant many would be. And how little power to dissent anyone who disagreed would have.

  7. NickelthroweR June 7, 2021 at 10:27 am #

    Yesterday evening I had a phone call with one of my rabid leftist friends. Yes, you can be my friend even if you are a rabid leftist and, besides, who else is there to talk to in California?

    Over the course of this hoax, I’ve laid out the arguments put forth on sites like this, Zerohedge, The Burning Platform, etc. The people I talk to speak to me as if I were the village imbecile – almost with a sense of pity that I didn’t believe “the science” even thou I have an insane laboratory, design and manufacture precision tools and conduct medical experiments. But that doesn’t count.

    Anyway, last night my friend finally came around because the lab origin of Covid can’t be hidden anymore. I went back over with him all the “canceling” that took place in that anyone that suggested that this was a lab leak was banned from twitter, banned from facebook, faced jail time or just simply had their life ruined. Odd about all of that huh?

    Since he had but no choice to concede that covid was a man made bio-weapon (gain of function) I then hit him again. “The cooks that made this virus must have the recipe, right?” Of course they do. They know its ingredients, how it was “cooked up” and, possibly, how to resist and fight it but we didn’t get any of that information because no one dared suggest it came from a lab.

    Now that he was open to an actual discussion, I sent him short video clips of the Nobel Prize Winner and creator of the PCR test explaining that it CAN NOT detect a specific virus. The test CAN NOT tell you if you are sick or not. Of course, that guy died 3 months after making that announcement. Funny how that works.

    The final lie is waiting to reveal itself and that is the jab itself. Everyone that has taken it has jumped on a train built by the SS & I.G.Farben. They’ve been told that the train is taking them to Unicorn & Rainbow Land and, for their sake, I hope that is true. But, what if the train built by evil MONSTERS isn’t going to Funland? What if it is going to Treblinka?

    Frankly, I’m so certain the train is going to Treblinka that I went out and bought 3 suits so I do not have to wear the same one to all of the funerals I suspect I’ll be going to come winter time.

    • MaryV June 7, 2021 at 11:07 am #

      I also think the train is going to Treblinka… and I am not even close to prepared for something like that.

      And of course the PTB will blame those deaths on the unvaxxed.

      Anyone who thinks that Covid19 is ‘over’ is going to have a rude awakening.

      I still don’t think it was leaked out of a lab though… or if it was, it’s a pretty weaksauce bioweapon. And I think it was gone in June 2020 just like the graphs showed, like coronaviruses are every year. Notice that’s when the ‘cases’ bullshit started, and the mask fetish, etc etc. Then they just rebranded all deaths as Covid19 and come fall, the CDC created PIC which lumped all respiratory illnesses and death together.

      What a scam.

      • O.G. Hawkins June 7, 2021 at 12:18 pm #

        I Believe that COVID19 was “leaked” and that Dr Fauci knew that it would be contagious enough and lethal enough to wreak havoc in old folks’ homes. Separately, another localized agent was used to provide people dropping in the streets in Wuhan and to hoodwink Iran.

        I Believe that everything is going to script. They have their timelines down. They hold other shoes yet to drop.

        Here is a what-if to ponder. If I were an evil PTB type and I wanted rid of the excess population to make the world happy for the little animals and end climate change and just to have wonderful harmony on the Earth, would I unleash a super-bug and kill a bunch of folks… or perhaps, I might unleash a “weaksauce bioweapon” that maybe just kills people mostly sick and nearly dead already (i.e. old, obese diabetics and such) … and then get “all the nice, compliant types” to get a vaccine that replicates a spike proteins keeps them from being killed, if say, a virus with the spike proteins affixed to the Ebola virus suddenly emerges (aka unleased). Then, folks without the vaccine die in a massive die-off…perhaps these folks might be deplorables?? Sometimes people say what they mean and mean what they say. We might need to step up what we think of as evil.

        • MaryV June 8, 2021 at 9:45 am #

          That scenario sounds plausible until you realize that thousands have died from the vaccines themselves… so I am not in the camp who thinks the vaxxed will be saved and unvaxxed killed off.

          But we shall see.

    • Night Owl June 7, 2021 at 11:38 am #

      Good post, but the virus itself (whatever it is) does not appear to be much of a bioweapon at this point.

      I tend to believe that the vaccines are the issue — particularly as they have indicated that we are to be taking several of them, and regularly — if they get to the point where they could implement it.

      They are absolutely desperate to get people to take these shots.

        • KappaJoe June 7, 2021 at 5:23 pm #

          A close friend and I discussed this very idea on and off in the early 2000s.

          On the nearing completion of human genome sequencing, immortality (or at the very least a very long life) was within THEIR grasp and THEY would not allow it to escape.

          We often scratched our heads as to why the financial system was being run so recklessly, and this is why, to:

          1) flood the system with money to induce rapid advances in technology, especially materials (esp. nano) science and life-extending medical research, most of the results of which were to be kept secret except for a few bridging technologies.

          2) create as many test subjects as possible and emplace an all-encompassing network to track each of them in real time.

          It’s funny, as I was commenting to my neighbor just last week that, “I’ve never seen the release form for the injection, but I’d assume it has detailed records including SSN or driver’s license or state ID, plus maker, lot number, and sub-lot number. They’re experimenting on us. In fact, I’d wager that each of Pfizer, Moderna, J & J, and AZ each have 100s if not 1000s of versions of their particular covid ‘vaccine’, some of which may even be administered based on age, gender, or race”.

          And, possibly, this is how THEY will know what version and delivery method of telomere enhancement might actually work on humans with the least side-effect. This is why they want everyone injected as quickly as possible, including now even younger age groups.

          If the above theory is correct, we should start seeing immediate death from first injection wane (those experiments are obviously no good, except as lethal injection) and start seeing deaths mainly from the endless various “boosters” and then only the long-term effects, if any.

          As a result, many, if not most of the injected will die or be severely crippled within a few years. Phase one of the experiment will be complete, and Build Back Better (Struggle On Much Worse) will commence with a greatly reduced population to be eventually lorded over by a sizeable a group of 300-year-old trillionaires.

            Maybe, I’m missing something here, but it seems to me that the “blame China” folks might be too hasty in their judgement. After all, the “blame China” meme could just be another diversion conjured up to conceal US involvement. We just don’t know. Secondly, there’s no reason to assume that the alleged “leak” was an ‘accident’ at all, in fact, there is a mountain of circumstantial evidence suggesting otherwise. For example, how do we explain the fact– way back in October, 2019– elites from the Gates Foundation, the World Bank, big media, big pharma, the UN, the CDC, the CIA, the Chinese Center for Disease Control, and John Hopkins University, conducted a “live simulation exercise to prepare public and private leaders for a pandemic response”?

          We know one thing for sure (unless one subscribes to the “shedding” theory). Everyone who has refused the jab is in the control/placebo group in Big Pharma’s little “clinical trial”.

          The other night a guy I know attended a dinner with around ten of his associates in the biz. Eventually the subject of the jabs came
          up and one guy said, “I’m not getting it.”

          Around the table they went and 100% said they were not getting it.

          This tiny statistic makes me doubt that 60% of American adults have gotten it. Regardless of free beers, free burgers, lottery tickets or any other kinds of bribes Newsom, Whitmer, DeWine, DeBlasio or Cuomo have hatched, many I talk to are not interested in taking an experimental untested jab for a virus most have a 99.97% chance of surviving.

            Trump claimed to have done an incredible job “coming up with the vaccine” and arguing no one else could have done it, which is a tired and ludicrous claim.

            Very good killer-argument from RL … the anti-vaxxers literally have no answer to the fact that half a dozen Big Pharma companies were incentivised to do massive research into a vaccine – there were no orders coming from Davos and the NWO.

            The vaccines are not depopulation bio-weapons … those who claim this should take a powder and have a good lie-down.

            One reason for the speed of the vaccine development was they worked off the back of coronavirus research that was decades long, plus they have remarkable technological tools now.

      You couldn’t resist begging the question!

      Even if it is feasible that the origin of the virus was a lab-leak rather than a “natural” crossover (it’s still not close to proven), there is no clear evidence that there was gain-of-function genetic engineering.

      There is no evidence either that it was a bio-weapon – it could have (and most likely was) coronavirus pandemic medical research. GoF research occurs for reasons other than bio-weaponry.

      The virus could have been collected in the field (from a bat-cave), and then infected three lab workers.

      What is interesting is the US seems to have funded this research, despite an Obama-era ban on GoF research. What is interesting also is when the Trump Admin knew of the research funding, and when they knew of a lab-leak (if it occurred).

    Morning Jim – great take as always, greatly appreciated as always. Thanks.

    There will be supermarkets, but they will serve as food depots. Restaurants are done – people just refuse to see it yet – like years past, retail claiming internet sales were a “flash-in-the-pan” that would pass – complete denial.

    Mom & pop first to go. Next, privately held restaurants with a little better capitalization, followed by the nationals (fast food joints well dispersed and capitalized – but too hard & costly to individually defend).

    All that will remain will be supermarkets (as distribution centers, due to established logistics, supply chains & locations) and community food banks/soup kitchens.

    These two options – the only two – will then become the choke points for food distribution or not – depending upon behavioral modification needs of the “locals”.

    Based upon the well-noted Katrina response simulation – we’re about 72 hours away – 9 meals – from complete societal breakdown.

    Happy Monday everybody.

        Revelation 13

        9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
        10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
        11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
        12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
        13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
        14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
        15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
        16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
        17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
        18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

      Listening to the local radio station this morning, the hosts were talking about signs they’d seen on a couple of local restaurants –” Please be Patient with us! We have staff shortages!” One of them talked to the owner who told him that not only can they not get anyone to come back to work, getting supplies (like meat, eggs) is harder b/c the suppliers don’t have enough people on the job.

            Sounds like you haven’t grokked overpopulation. Few Christians have.

            Now you may know about this, but Michael Matt of the Remnant didn’t. He was driving across America, amazed at all the open spaces. Overpopulation, he scoffed! He doesn’t know that the Dakotas are hard lands. That many bought land there thinking it was Iowa all over again – and were ruined. Much of the West is even harder. That’s just the Great Plains. Parts of the Great Plains are high grass – you can do more there. But it’s still not the Midwest or the East. The Low Grass is harder still. Then you get to the little or no grass.

      I also think restaurants will be having a hard time in the future. As inflation bites, folks tend to stay home to eat. I just returned from a week trip in New England. Lots of restaurants are still only doing carry-out. Lots of staff shortages and longer than usual waits. However I must say the lobster was delicious and my better half enjoyed his fried clams with bellies.

      My hope is enough people are paying attention in my small corner of life and the world to sustain ourselves and adapt to changing situations. Life is change, adapters have a better chance at weathering the storm. Hope it is the same in your small space in the world.

In addition to this, these ‘reviewers’ are back-channel teaching people how to prepare their own healthy food…escape the trap of the McMeal.

      Things will have to get very bad before we get to bread lines, and then methinks only the blue counties. I suspect things will just get very weird for a time.

      The brain drain to red states/counties is a problem they will try to counter by forcing a refugee crisis. Red states/counties should prepare to repel refugees.

    Meanwhile, away from Davos and back in the real world of a capital city that’s been around since 1130 and eventually built upwards to 14 storeys on top of the basalt rock, suburbia not being a practical proposition at that point – and where the bodily wastes of the Old Town’s rich and poor, from the same tenements, flowed in unison down to the fetid Nor’ Loch (now Waverley Station), I happened upon an interesting statement of reality.

    (with apols for run-on sentence …)

    And I only happened upon it because I re-acquainted myself with ‘Nextdoor’ to add a notice that someone had addressed a parcel to my address with the name of someone I’d never heard of.

    Anyway, some helpful person had also added a notice to the effect that the city Council has declared that the electric grid will in no way be able to support the move to what he called ‘EV vehicles’.

    Well, there’s a thing.

    This person has apparently created an online space where earnest and interested users and aspiring users of ‘EV vehicles’ will be able to discuss er … issues.

    I’ll give them a couple of weeks, then perhaps drop by and be annoying by providing a link to The Long Emergency.

    The city Council’s view on the ‘issues’ is that the future has to include more of what it called ‘active transport’ (bikes and shoe leather to you and me) plus buses. There was also mention that with ‘EV vehicles’ being heavier than petrol/diesel vehicles, the Council’s roads will take more of a beating. Watch out council tax payers, whether or not you drive an ‘EV vehicle’ or indeed drive a vehicle at all.

    But it will be interesting to see how the discussion space goes for the earnest ‘EV vehicle’ folks and their ‘issues’.

    Separately the only good thing about the blarney that will go on in Cornwall is that it’s very beautiful but one of the poorest areas in the UK, so especially with the lost of tourist pounds over the last year, it really could do with the big spenders doing some brief big spending. And eating some of the local fish, which can’t get to the EU any more before it rots.

    Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and Bill Gates???

    Powerful men.

    What has made a huge contingent of the USA favor their world view?

    The problem is here!

    Gimmes in control. Power people maintaining their power base. Population growth measures incorporating gimme folks only. Not Black, not White, not ethnicity, but gimme status on the economic theater.

    Remember Black like Me in the 60s. How come none of our White Leftist zealots do not “dye” themselves Black like that long lost crusader? If they want talk the talk, why not walk the walk.

    Because that is them, all talk.

    I wonder if the Vanilla Oreos, white on the outside and black on the inside, realize that when they give away this country, almost done, they will also have to find a new home. Their power will evaporate.

    It is time for Patriots, no matter what color they are, to stand up and tell these crumb bum globalist supporters to go find another country to take over. It is time for Patriots to stop the gimme invasion.

    The main opposition seems to be coming from the Red states. Good for them. But what happens when federal political control comes from the cities, and the cities outnumber everyone else. With the current immigration situation, open borders, this will continue in this direction until the economic balance evens out.

    In other words, we will continue to fall to the level of Honduras, etc. until we are equal.

    Which is exactly what the globalist Leftists of this country wants.

    Again, the question is why? Only one thing explains anyone hating their country when they have progressed to the point these crumb bums in the Deep State have achieved.

    Insanity, mental illness.

      As Yogi Beara said, “Predictions are very tricky, especially when they deal with the future.”

      We must try to avoid linear thinking, JohnAZ. Not that you do this; I’m speaking in generalities here.

      There are so many factors in play, it’s hard to predict how they will all interact, and what the results will be.

      For example, I hope the Deagle Report with it’s prediction of only 100 million Americans alive by year 2025 is wrong. It doesn’t say how we get there. Pathogens or their vaccines run amuck or war with China, or some other cause.

      But I have a strong suspicion that those who own and run the world are not our friends. Once this made me one of the craziest of the nut jobs. But I sense a lot more people are reaching that conclusion..

        Having studied and worked in Japan a total of 8 years since 1962, I an affirm that there is a powerful awareness of this reality. They thus loathe the notion of foreigners residing among their people (equally-despised ethnic Koreans and the untouchable “burakumin” historically reside apart from “true Japanese” – before a daughter is allowed to marry, her parents customarily hire a private investigator to snoop around the prospective groom’s past, making sure he has not hidden an unwanted identity).

        Now that the birth rate in Japan has gone into a death spiral, and they are forced to allow in the despicable aliens to work (particularly in “three Ks” jobs: “kitanai, kiken & kitsui” (“filthy, dangerous and harsh”), they face a conundrum as never before. They can contain the corrupting foreign element in ghettos (there are communities of Japanese-Brazilian immigrants, moved to Japan as Brazil becomes impossible – they are encouraged to keep to themselves, as they are not to be accepted as “true Japanese”) but sooner or later there will likely be challenges to the monolithic culture, and it promises to not be pretty.

        Youhannon, you’ll love this bit of early American history., When Lewis & Clark arrived for a winter oi endless rain at the mouth of the Colombia they kept hearing rumors of a Black God who ruled over one of the tribes to the south. White seafarers had been ranging up and down what is now the Oregon and Washington coasts for years, looking for the mythical Northwest passage but didn’t dare come ashore because of the flotillas of war canoes that guarded its shores.

        When a storm sank one of these white expedition ships the one person strong enough to make it ashore was the black ship’s slave. Not only did he make it ashore, learn the language and culture of a completely foreign people, but rose to a position where he owned every person and all the wealth within sight.

    Great fun right from go. When you compared Schwab to a James Bond villain, my mind leapt straight to “Casino Royale” wherein both David Niven and Peter Sellers are James Bond. It’s the best comparison to our current panoply of technofetishist villains.

    Today’s essay got me reflecting on the trajectory of this: Remember “The Work of Nations”? When this came out, the father of my best pal at the time, living in Westchester,NY- a senior executive at IBM would regale us with stories about how IBM used to be and how it was being ruined. But then he also insisted, paradoxically, that we read this latest faddish tome by Robert Reich. While the top management of this venerable company were really at loggerheads with all the ‘diversity hires’ and other such feel good management fad stuff coming it, they were simultaneously enthusiastic about the meta ideas being propagated by the same idiots who were clogging up American business with ruinous notions of financialization, &c…
    We can see how all this has turned out.

    Work of Nations was followed by a series of similarly idiotic books by Thomas Friedman who is a factory for bad takes on any subject you can think of.

    Maybe one of us could get paid for writing a parody futurist business book “Own Nothing and Like it (Or else!)” – feel free to run with it, people. Just put me in the title crawl somewhere.

          The year I got married my husband’s US siblings and their families came over and stayed in the little village where the deed was done, on the west coast, up north. Very bad internet connection and mobile reception.

          His sisters, with good jobs, were expected to deal with their emails while they were on holiday. I was gobsmacked, but was told this is quite routine in the US. I wouldn’t have dreamed of looking at my work emails on holiday – or if I’d looked at them I wouldn’t have dreamed of dealing with them. What do they think holiday means? It’s not like they were the president of a country or something.

          I fondly remember a Canadian doctor from the ‘Sick Kids’ hospital in Toronto having an out-of-office message that said ‘I am away from ____ to _____ . Any emails sent during that time will be deleted, so tough.’

            All they had to do was check emails? Must be nice to work there…

            I once spent two days of “vacation” in a hotel working on somebody else’s “emergency”. Phone calls anywhere, all the time. To compensate, I took a lot of vacation (which I earned, so it’s not like it was free).

            They took as much as they could from me, and I took as much as I could from them. First job to the last. The hidden hand giving us the finger.

            I guess I was too lowly to have to do stuff like that, BB!

            When I first met my husband a couple of decades ago, he was working as a ‘medical forensic officer’ (used to be called a police surgeon in the UK), a job he truly didn’t like.

            Courts would have the right to call you back from your holidays to give expert-witness testimony. Vacationing police officers could likewise be summoned back from holiday to testify. So a habit developed – allegedly – of saying of someone thus summoned ‘he’s walking in the Highlands’, meaning he’s not contactable so you might as well piss off. Everyone knew what it meant, and life went on.

      Ah, Thomas Friedman, of the famous “Friedman Unit”, tongue-in-cheek for the time unit of 6 months, the length of time which Friedman predicted the Iraq war would take. He’s been wrong about a shitload of stuff since then of course, but that’s what keeps his pay checks rolling in. He even sent his daughter to go heckle Jimmy Dore… it didn’t go well for her.

      Robert Reich once dated Cankles, little known factoid. “Cankles and the wee Toad” would be a good descriptor of them as a couple.

    If Quentin Tarantino made a James Bond movie, the villain would be a maniac named Klaus Schwab, played with a light touch by Christoph Waltz, leading a SMERSH-like org bent on turning the world into a utopia of robots, and, of course, absolutely everything would go wrong, leading to a joyously comical bloodbath in the climax.

    I see Screenwriter and Executive Producer credits in your future Jim! Maybe even a cameo, as Tarantino is quite fond of those, although I think he really missed out casting Barry Corbin in No Country for Old Men, a part that was tailor made for our resident curmudgeon.

          John Lennon, I recall a cover story with photo, think it was Esquire, early 1980, the image is still clear to me.

          A quieter person in many ways, with investments, particularly real estate, up and down the Hudson. Successful financially, working on being a parent/family person, the piece showed a different side of him.

          • Yohannon June 7, 2021 at 12:48 pm #

            Exactly. A Capitalist. They got him, either as a youthful Communist idealist or as a practical Capitalist. It’s One System.

            More evidence: the overtly Globalist, Yoko.

            Real estate up and down the Hudson. A sell out? No, because that would imply he was ever “in” or not bought. We are born in captivity. He thought we word born free – a huge mistake. We have to free ourselves.

          • malthuss June 7, 2021 at 2:48 pm #

            Okay, here goes. I knew someone who had lived with JL. This was confirmed in one of the many books about him.

            When he left the Bs, he had a million dollars and it was tied up in lawsuits.
            Yoko is from a rich family and did the investing for them.
            By his death 12? years later, the royalties he was getting and his 1 million grew to maybe 50x that.

            THE DAKOTA, they bought so many units in it [presumably for privacy] the other residents created a rule about how many units one person or corporation can own.

            The last time I saw John, it was at an eatery that served rice etc. No beef served. But much of the money they made was from Yoko investing in cattle. At least thats what I read.

            His last album got bad reviews, after all Yok was singing on much of it.
            When he was murdered, then the good reviews appeared. GENIUS. COME BACK. BRILLIANT.

            ‘OUR LIFE TOGETHER, WE HAVE GROWN’
            One review said the critics were invited to a listening party and ‘we all groaned over his sentimentality.’

    The man with no soul (Putin) meets the man with no brain (Biden). They then encounter the man with no heart (Boris Johnson of the perpetual lock-up). They are joined by a pig-tailed girl in a dirndl named Angela (and her little dog,too) in trying to find the way back to Kansas down the BIS gold road.

    But alas Klaus Schwab flying around on a broomstick keeps harassing them by taking everything they own. And he’s screaming “Are you happy, now?!”

    Lots of food for thought in this JHK post. Maybe GA can enlighten us as to what a raclette is, but otherwise, the gist is clear. My mentor used to say, “Ownership is nothing, control is everything.” Folks, that train done already left the station. The people in charge have perfected a system of control never before seen in all of human history. They have been making exploratory forays into elimination of the useless eaters for many decades. Only now have they perfected the tools to do so. However, there is a significant percentage of the population who are not going along with the scheme. Fortunately there is a large overlap between this group & the remaining producers who are not useless eaters. Unfortunately, a large segment of true useless eaters are also “vaccine hesitant,” most of them residing in the inner urban ghettoes. This summer their antics should get interesting.

    The killing of the fake gold markets is designed to ratchet up the pressure on the dollar. If you’re a billionaire, & you lose 75% of your nominal wealth, it’s to laugh at (Let’s just say these people have already made provisions.) If you’re a typical suburbanite, losing 75% of your wealth is a disaster.

      You’re right, it’s the electronic panopticon and if cash can be eliminated and all transactions become digital, this surveillance system will be complete. Already what we read can be known from Kindle, online libraries and ordering books from Amazon. Most bookstores are closed but that may not matter anymore since only a few people actually read.

      Raclette is a Continental thing. You sit down with a few friends and share a griddle/stove that sits in the middle of the table. You all get a little pan with a handle into which you put your Raclettekäse (here in Germany) and you add vegetables or meat to the pan to your heart’s content.

      Then you put your little pan on the stove and wait about 5 mins until the cheese melts.

        I thought the idea was to take a large Swiss cheese, cut it in half, turn the cut “face” (kind of like a cheese Alp) toward a blazing fire, and when the face of the mountain has melted, scrape it off and eat it with a piece of bread.

        Meanwhile the exposed layer of the cheese has melted.

        Rinse and repeat until it’s time for desert or is that dessert.

    “And what about your property Klaus?”

    Exactly. Somehow folks (and the media, as a specialty) seem to imply that fortified island lair-dwelling jagoffs like Schwab are saying “We will own nothing. And we will like it.” No…it is clearly stated that <strong/you and I shall be the experiment here (huh, sounds vaguely familiar…). They shall watch from on high and chuckle, whilst rudely gesturing for the piss-boy and his bucket.

    “Ah-ahh…don’t forget the shake!”

    The sad part is he’s kind of right about the liking it part. Give every American 2k+/month to not give a shit and rent/consume/ingest the products of those busybodies who actually do and make things…more than half of them will think it’s just friggin’ dandy.

    Eventually that number will be more like 90%, as there will be an even more stark two-tiered system than there already is. Those that do (and have), and those that don’t (and don’t, but think they do).

    Klaus may umltimately be a puppet of the unseen higher-ups, but he’s in a pretty good seat to bloviate about naturally lesser masses. Must be nice to be so pompous and have literally no one of significant public stature call you on it, for fear of dropping into the lower 90% sooner rather than later.

      The currency can be backed in several ways.

      1) You need some of it to pay your taxes
      2) Government run brothels will also provide all manner of drugs and a clean safe place to use them. Payment in Govt issued currency only.

    • Yohannon June 7, 2021 at 1:04 pm #

      That’s the purpose of technology: to make things easier. Machines put people out of work. The jobs they create are far fewer than those that they take. Just realizing this now?

      Maybe we shouldn’t have take this road? But we did. Now you want to keep on it and damn the consequences instead of dealing with them? No, that IS what you are doing here. We’re moving towards a Leisure Civilization where a job is a privilege and a luxury. Or would you prefer millions dying on the street? They have a Plan for that too…..

      Remember, having a job and extra cash will be a mark of distinction. Most will want one and many will not be able to get one. In that sense, nothing will change.

      Somehow folks (and the media, as a specialty) seem to imply that fortified island lair-dwelling jagoffs like Schwab are saying “We will own nothing. And we will like it.”

      Klaus Schwab is only worth $5 million, which is sort of peanuts even among average suburban millionaires, let alone among the Davos elite. I don’t think he owns any islands, but I expect he knows one or two who do.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder June 8, 2021 at 11:54 am #

        Huh. I found 1.1M as a net worth for Ol’ Schwabby.

        But I’m sure there’s nothing changing hands out of view of public scrutiny. It’s Switzerland after all, nowhere to hide money there, right?

        I’m also sure he’s probably paying his full mortgage(s), travel, entertainment, food, family’s education, utility costs, etc entirely out-of-pocket.

        You’re right, he’s a regular Joe Jamoke, BBQing brats for the neighbors while listening to the ball game on the ol’ AM. We should listen to him and realize that he’s right, because…I mean c’mon man, what on earth does a guy like him have to gain by being a mouthpiece for the financial elite?

        Thanks for setting me straight. I’ll get back to focusing on owning nothing and being happy.

    seem to be two major forces at play:
    1. The wealthy globalists control everything, own everything and are making power plays and coming up with top-down “solutions” to global problems as if the world was a video simulation they turn the knobs on

    and
    2. Limits to growth of energy “production,” population, economies, water usage… etc. threaten to derail all the structures that keep the globalists in power and present systems functioning

    So, I expect the globalists will play around with their knob tweaking a while, but in the end, it will come to nothing. The systems they depend on will crack-up before too long… But in the meantime, some combination of both forces, while the ptb try to keep things on their pet tracks as long as possible

    But basically, I kind of expect “Reset” projects will be doomed, laughable hubris that will be more a series of jokes than anything else

    • gustafson.robert.22 June 7, 2021 at 1:52 pm #

      also, there’s a limit to what people will put up with, i think. Doesnt seem like it at the moment maybe. But i don’t see enough cooperation from public to make straus-style resets work long

      • Night Owl June 7, 2021 at 2:24 pm #

        Where are you located, and what types of people are around you? Because here in Germany, I would put the chances at 50/50.

        We went to the zoo yesterday, primarily because they had lifted their mask restriction (with the exception of the outdoor ticket area, because even the more relaxed Corona regulations continue to be influenced by knuckledraggers), and although the majority of the crowd was maskless, I found it interesting that when we did see maskers, they tended to be millennials with kids. Most were wearing the heavy duty FP2/N95esque masks popular among the Good Germans, and they even had their kids wearing them. Some of those kids looked to be as young as three.

        The younger generation in this country (in particular) is in need of some serious help.

        • gustafson.robert.22 June 7, 2021 at 3:48 pm #

          Yeah. I’m in a rural area on east coast USA (North Carolina). Majority have dropped masks since the cdc dropped recommendation for vaxers.

          I know majority of urban white and/or middle-class millenials are compliant, scared weenies susceptible to control. They want to believe the world status quo will come through for them.

          But i don’t see deplorable-leaning whites, or majority of blacks, or latinos either here… the “working” class (“lower” might be more accurate) basically, putting up with extreme reset measures without morale getting real low real quick.

          And then, i think the noncompliance or unrest would be serious, and the whole myth that america is for everybody would be so violated, i dont think the reset would get that far. USA would have to go back to placating the masses till the whole system fails.

          Basically, i don’t think the Schwabians will have enough hold on the lower classes to accomplish much significant. I think they would need them more on board. I think they expect they will be able to coerce or convince them and are wrong.

          Its a very middle-class and above atmosphere – this techno socialist sort of dream

      I did a science fair project in 5th grade. I decided to electrocute plants with varying degrees of electricity and see what happened to them. Brilliant, I know. Results, as one would expect. Pretty sure I got a B.

    This is the most sensible thing I’ve read on the origins of Covid-19:

      It’s obvious from the evidence they presented that it was an escape. The level of containment was BSL2 which is about the same as a dentist’s office. I just read this long article on natural spillover vs. lab made:

      https://thebulletin.org/2021/05/the-origin-of-covid-did-people-or-nature-open-pandoras-box-at-wuhan/

      from the article:

      “In conclusion. If the case that SARS2 originated in a lab is so substantial, why isn’t this more widely known? As may now be obvious, there are many people who have reason not to talk about it. The list is led, of course, by the Chinese authorities. But virologists in the United States and Europe have no great interest in igniting a public debate about the gain-of-function experiments that their community has been pursuing for years.”

      It’s a long article but very interesting and full of information about how this was accomplished.

      • Tekapo June 7, 2021 at 4:54 pm #

        It’s obvious from the evidence they presented that it was an escape.

        Is it “obvious”?

        The story states – as do the links within it – that the natural crossover and the lab-leak are both viable origins at this stage, based on available evidence. Various scientists hold strong views both ways.

        The second focus of interest is whether SARS-CoV-2 is a naturally occurring virus, or has been modified – again the jury remains out.

        Then of course whether the gene research was gain-of-function (basically speeding up evolution in specific directions to make the virus a human pathogen).

        Then, whether the US NIH and/or the Pentagon funded research for years, and whether the funded research was gain-of-function research, despite the Obama ban, and then under Trump.

        Lots of questions still, and without Chinese co-operation I can’t see how President Biden’s investigation is going to get a lot of answers.

      • Tekapo June 7, 2021 at 5:10 pm #

        Yes – I read the Nicholas Wade piece some weeks ago – well written and persuasive, without being conclusive.

        And one of the comments was succinct:

        The question of SARS-CoV-2’s origin has little bearing on the trajectory of the current pandemic. But it’s hugely important when it comes to preventing future pandemics.

        If the research that supposedly protects us from zoonotic spillovers is in fact increasing the net pandemic risk (due to human error, accident, etc), then that research needs to be halted. At the very least, it should be limited and done only under tightly controlled conditions. This would require international agreement, and perhaps an auditing regime with actual teeth.

        One thing is for sure though: we will never sort this out if we leave it to the WHO, and to certain researchers who have a personal/financial stake in preserving the status quo.

        I think Dr Fauci and Dr Daszak have some explaining to do. I expect Congress might invite them to do so.

      Of course it did – I read things very critically, especially in terms of the source. But I don’t find it useful to descend to the level of paranoia and government-hate that is so common on here. It too often inhibits rational thought and decent discussion.

          Yes – that’s why it was a valuable read. I’m reasonably convinced it was leaked from the Wuhan Lab – through workers who became ill and presented at a hospital.

          Whether it was collected from the field, or engineered to be more human infectious … hard to know without more evidence, I guess.

          It was late, they wanted to end their shift, they were waiting for more batches of votes to come in from precincts all over the state … they ducked out for a smoke …

          There could be a lot of reasons why voting stopped. The fact that Trump was ahead is no mystery – mail-in ballots (which were always expected to heavily favour Joe Biden) were counted after election-day votes were counted.

          Nothing nefarious about all this – on its face. People who believe the election was fraudulent can’t be persuaded otherwise; those who believe the election was fair and honest would like to see the fraud-claimers put up the evidence.

    TAKI mag—HECKLER, its for you,

    The Walmart PA incident was given front-page coverage in The New York Times,

    The year was 2010, the month was March. The 14th of March, to be exact. And Americans who had fooled themselves into thinking that their beloved country was not a racist hellhole of genocidal slavers and KKK madmen were about to receive a mighty wake-up call…amplified by a public address loudspeaker.

    On that March day in Washington Township, N.J., a teenager grabbed the PA microphone at a Walmart and announced, “Attention, Walmart customers: All black people leave the store now,” before running out the front door giggling like an idiot.

    It was the single worst racist atrocity in U.S. history. Manzanar? Bah! Those Japs don’t know what suffering is. In fact, survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre donated reparations money to the blacks who were in the Walmart that day, saying, “What happened to us was a walk in the park in comparison.”

    The Walmart PA incident was given front-page coverage in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and every other major paper in the U.S.

    It was a leadoff story on every network news show that night. Police spared no expense identifying and arresting the 16-year-old culprit, who was charged with “harassment and bias intimidation,” and Gloucester County Prosecutor Sean Dalton, who held daily press briefings about the matter, assured the media and all of America’s black citizens that justice would be swift and merciless.

    HECKLER,

    A family of six came under fire along a stretch of Missouri highway last week while on their way to vacation, and a 22-year-old mother is accused of pulling the trigger.

    According to police, the family from Tennessee was heading to Kansas City on I-55 in their Nissan Pathfinder on Friday when a Ford Focus started tailgating the SUV. The Pathfinder driver braked to tell the Focus to slow down or go around, KMOV reported.

    The Focus sped up, got next to the Pathfinder, and the passenger, Shanyka Fouche, pulled out a gun and began shooting.

    Our response to this should be simple: OK, you great possessors of all the wealth and knowledge of the universe… YOU GO FIRST. YOU own nothing and be happy about it, FIRST! Then maybe we’ll consider it.

    And, to get to the place where YOU own nothing… how about throwing all that our way just so we could know how it feels for a change? Hey, it’s just going to be tossed aside anyway, right? Please, go ahead and BE HAPPY. We want you gods among us to be happy! OWN NOTHING, but YOU go first.

  36. Tekapo June 7, 2021 at 6:04 pm #

    From the JHK essay:

    This has led some observers to hypothesize that Klaus and his WEF might have had something to do with the Covid-19 outbreak, and that an actual global financial train-wreck will be in the works shortly after Cyber Polygon, opening the door for Klaus’s heralded Great Reset.

    Personally, I have no data to suggest these things are linked to one another.

    I’m fairly confident that no such data exists because there is no connection, no causality. The WEF is not running the world.

    The WEF is a sort-of not-for-profit NGO for the ruling class, and it runs events regularly – to both make income, and to stay relevant to its members.

    So Event 201 and now Cyber Polygon are simulation exercises that allow a wide range of key players to go through “what-if” exercises. They are useful and educative. They can lead governments to have better plans and better resources for when real crises occur.

    The US could have done with a decent pandemic plan around February 2020.

    We discussed some months ago the Great Reset dot-points. They range from sensible and pretty obvious (be nice to your mom) through to hippie-dippie, pie-in-the-sky, techno-narcissism, and the simply naively tone-deaf and out of touch with reality.

    The “transhumanist” shite (electronic bodily add-ons) I thought was particularly egregious, if not totally stupid, if you wish to avoid the cynicism and hostility of the world’s people.

    Europe is spectacular to visit, and we’ve done it several times, but it’s good to remember how fundamentally archaic and reactionary its upper classes are. They are money aristocrats who hate democracy, and abhor open transactions and transparent governance.

    Klaus Schwab wasn’t born into the ruling class, but because of his intelligence and business skills, he now serves them and sups with them. They’re pretty dreadful people, and Davos would make most normal people reach for a bucket.

    They are influential, and shape the financial world and government policies, but they don’t run the world, they didn’t want or cause the pandemic, and they’re not de-populating a crowded planet with eight different vaccines.

    I wish more people on here would understand this. The real cause of the nation’s problems are much closer to home: poverty, low wages, unemployment, race, debt, overstretched cities, decaying infrastructure, rackets in every industry, failing education and health systems, oil, water, and food crises.

    Davos – and conspiracy theories about it – are a distraction from what really ails the populace.

            Fair enough … my challenge is to do it properly in a few words.

            It has nothing to do with specific areas of Black excellence – such as Delta Blues and basketball that the village idiot has mentioned. Nor is it about the disaster of inner-city crime and social decadence and poverty.

            White people simply do not have the depth of soul, or spirit or culture that is evident in Black People (and I would add a lot of Hispanic and Native Americans into this class as well).

            They have a sense of history, a sense of resilience – and of course they have survived despite huge oppression and hardship.

            In a peculiar sort of way, many minorities have either chosen to not embrace the materialism and consumerism of Capitalism, or they’ve never been invited to the table. They have had to find dignity, happiness, and security in a range of different ways to Whites – family, bible, music, community – and other intangibles.

            This is a complicated subject, and I am certainly not a self-loathing white guy who wishes he were born black – not at all – but I do recognise qualities in minorities that have been almost totally washed out of Whites in the West.

          That “deeply held knowledge” is exclusively yours and that of your fellow travelers, maybe 10% of the white population in the US, delicate hothouse flowers only possible in a civilization that has provided for their every comfort and want.

          Most whites are just constitutionally indifferent to black lives. It’s not hate just complete indifference. It originates imo in the fact that most whites in the US are the descendants of people who came here after the Civil War and they don’t give a damn about slavery. You might as well tell us about the Babylonian Captivity for all the relevance it holds for us.

          One thing the last year has shown in a dramatic light is that the kumbaya dream of incompatible cultures living together in some semblance of order is just not going to happen. The dream of Malcolm X and his buddy George Lincoln Rockwell is the coming reality, just a matter of how and when.

    Did anyone believe the deep state (entrenched bureaucrats and revolving door private/public sector agency heads) were going to limit the scope of their takeover to undermining Trump, impeaching Trump, fomenting a coup, and rigging an election?
    No

    Much deeper. You have an unsupervised megalomaniacal octogenarian throwing out pitches while throwing out emails and evidence of his complicity in the greatest man-made health disaster and simultaneous hoax ever inflicted on the human population let alone the American consumers (they’re too undignified to be called citizens at this point in the game).

    Now he says the inquisition is an assault against “the science”.
    The hubris.
    The sociopathy of making science ideological
    of making it dogmatic
    of making it the religion go the technoclass.

      The conspiracy-minded would seem to seesaw between the Covid-19 being a deadly weapon cooked up in a lab by dark forces, and the whole thing being a hoax, and it’s just a bad cold.

      Some clarity would be good … those of us of rational mind remain perplexed.

          Like most of our returning banees, Tekapo’s (Cargill’s) reading comprehension is poor.

          “Deadly GOF research” automatically translates to “deadly virus.”

          The idea that the virus has a low kill count and transmissibility; has not been properly isolated (that the public knows of); and, in parallel, the NIH-funded GOF research is unethical and dangerous; is far too much for him to sort out.

          Let us also never forget that in the fevered dreams of Agent Po Po, Donald Trump was The Manchurian Candidate, and that Aliens are real.

            Very lame, as usual. The conspiracy-minded are caught out in their deceptions and distortions, and are now swinging in the breeze of inconsistency and hypocrisy.

            It’s just a cold this hoax … but also a deadly virus funded by President Trump himself. The “Chyna Virus” could well be the “America Virus” – which no doubt will make you happy.

            For a year it’s been the “corona hoax”, now it’s a deadly gain-of-function engineered human pathogen LOL twisting in the breeze yet again.

            Trump had more than three years to stop US funding of coronavirus research in China. He only did so when the shit hit the fan, and they got early reports that a US-funded bug had escaped from a Chinese Lab.

            Ten months out from a tight election, and panic buttons were pushed. Cover-up and obfuscation were their first reaction. Flood the zone with shit, as the crazy Steve Bannon would say.

    There was a time when Bill Gates was seen as one of the most evil people alive; typing his name into an early internet search engine returned results for terms like antichrist.

    He led the effort to warn of a potential global pandemic (back in 2017, Gates famously said a pandemic was imminent and could lead to the deaths of more than 30 million people), and then, when his vision became reality and COVID-19 obliterated the global economy and killed millions, there he was at the forefront of vaccine research efforts.

    I think the smartest thing anyone can do is abandon hope that some entity or person is going to come forth and set things right… WE have to change – dramatically – if we want this cabal’s overreach to end.

    George Carlin got it:

    “But there’s a reason. There’s a reason. There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education sucks, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never gonna get any better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don’t want that.

    I’m talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want.

    Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want: They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking.
    They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. Thats against their interests. Thats right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table to figure out how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you, sooner or later, ’cause they own this fucking place.

    It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club. And by the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head in their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted folks. The game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people — white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on — good honest hard-working people continue — these are people of modest means — continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t care about you at all — at all — at all.

    And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on; the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes everyday. Because the owners of this country know the truth: it’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.

    • O.G. Hawkins June 7, 2021 at 9:04 pm #

      George Carlin was an American Hero … but Americans Just nervously laughed because they knew that he was Right but that they’d go home after the show and change absolutely nothing in their American lives.

      It’s called Capitalism, and Carlin is not saying anything very new. Karl Marx said it all 170 years ago, and many others have since.

      Capitalists also owns all the media, and they shape the reality that people believe in. It’s why people salute the flag at football games and chant USA! USA! It’s why they think elections are really important.

      And it’s why “socialist” is a slur in America, and on this forum – the people are mind-fucked to equate Capitalism with America. It’s a false reality.

      Some people claim media such as CNN, WaPo, and NYT are from “the left” – but it is really mistaken. They are an integral part of the ideological machine that serves capital – they are big businesses and they rely totally on advertisers and pliant consumers. They do not rock the boat.

      Being anti-Trump or pro-Dem does not make anybody a “leftie”.

            Translation: when I write something you agree with, I speak truth, when it’s something you disagree with, it’s a troll. Very clear.

            Anyway – George Carlin is railing against Capitalism, and who can disagree with that? He is correct in what he says. It’s a rigged game, and most people are losers – toiling all their lives for bare subsistence.

            People applaud him – and then in the next breath cheer and laud the Capitalism he is despising! I think that’s where you could look for your schizophrenia.

            There is no “Real America” of small-town homey businesses that would be just swell if those faceless international elites didn’t hold all the levers of power. That all went out with buggy whips, to the extent it ever existed.

            I think we need a democratic socialist revolution – but I shan’t hold my breath waiting for vast swathes of the working classes to agree with me. And people have got their hands full waiting for NASCAR, defending Dr Seuss, and having the vapours over Critical Race Theory.

            Sure, self-dealing so-called capitalists are among that number, as are self-dealing socialists, self-dealing communists, self-dealing fascists, self-dealing politicians of any bent, self-dealing patriots, self-dealing journalists, self-dealing racists, and on and on.

            Once sufficient numbers of Whites grok to the reality that the Democrat party is the party of Anti-Whiteness, & that their Republican leaders are the weak sisters of that movement, the time of the Republican party as it now exists is over. At that time, there will be a kinetic war, but it will have only faint tinges of class.

            Yes – I have heard this rationale a dozen times but don’t buy it – Capitalism produces, enables, and requires the “self-serving rich and powerful” … that is what it is. The endless labor of the many for the benefit of the few.

            You don’t have an escape hatch, I’m afraid. You’re making a distinction without a difference.

            And ever since the Tea Party days, right through the MAGA days, and onto forums such as this, I have always found it odd that people rail against injustice caused by the rich and powerful – then vote for Republicans, who are their party.

            Do you expect to change any minds with that? Or are you in fact, a paid troll?

            I think it’s very hard to change the views and beliefs of the conspiracy-minded – since they do not require fact, data, science, logic, reasoning … because there is a “great big cause” hovering just out there somewhere that explains everything and causes everything.

            It’s irrational and it’s intellectually lazy. I like trying to discuss things with the minority on here who are not conspiracy theory devotees.

            To me the biggest conspiracy of all is the God Delusion, and fervid adherence to Christianity. Once you buy that, you are of a mind-set to buy anything, it seems to me. I don’t think it’s an accident that nearly 100% of QAnon freaks are fundamental Christians – it’s a mindset.

            The execrable Marjorie Taylor Greene came out yesterday full bottle – doesn’t believe in vaccines, doesn’t believe the virus resulted from mutations, believes Dr Fauci is evil, doesn’t believe in evolution because she believes in God.

            Nothing I could say would ever change derangement of this order, even if I danced a jig naked in the center of Atlanta.

            No I am not a paid troll … who would pay me? And in any case I believe I’m much closer to the general thinking of JHK than many of the wingnuts on here – Night Owl for example repeats the same off-planet stuff over and over, bot-like.

            Maybe he’s the paid troll – paid by that Kraut Konspiracy Kabal that he quotes all the time … as if they’re authoritative.

          • Tate June 10, 2021 at 9:06 am #

            This has been noted before but it’s scarier assuming there is no “great big cause” in control of events than that there is. The conspiracy-minded are that way in part because they suffer deeper paranoias than average, thus it’s an attempt to control their own anxieties & fears, to believe that someone’s in charge, even if that someone has malevolent aims. IDK if any of that is true or not but there is some logic to it.

            On the other hand, conspiracies are rife within human societies so to draw the opposite conclusion that conspiracies don’t exist & that their operations can’t be successful, is stupid. The biggest myth is that large-scale ‘conspiracies of silence’ can’t be successful. The “secret city” (at the time) of Oak Ridge, Tenn. is a prime example how this can work.

            As far as religion, you seem to have a special hatred of it. Sure, unscrupulous people can use it for unscrupulous ends, but so what? MTG is a politician, do you invite a dog to eat at the table with you? Some people do, but any rational person would not, as dogs are shit-nibblers. Same with their disgusting kissing of their canine companions. (Notice Trump didn’t have a dog. A rational man observes things.) Politicians seek power, that’s just the way the world works. That’s why MTG like all the other poodles in Congress, although she speaks many heresies against the prevailing order, will rail against the couple of her colleagues who have the temerity to criticize Israel.

    They make the point in the book that one inherently cannot trust the official establishment “Science” in a fascist technocracy, but they don’t really explain why that is the case?

    The really weird one is where the WHO changed the definition of “pandemic” to fit Covid 19 within the definition of a pandemic. And the WHO also redefined the concept of “Herd Immunity” to mean immunity in the population acquired only by vaccination. This is anti-science since “Herd Immunity” is a naturally resulting condition after a virus blows through a population.

    If I were to venture a theory as to why Establishment “Science” is untrustworthy in a fascist technocracy, it would probably be based on the premise that in a fascist political economy the same people basically own everything such that the same people who pay for the science also pay for the Media who own the drug companies, etc., so that everyone is hugely conflicted such that no one reports the truth out of fear or self-interest? Total mental ClusterFuck….

    Obviously the virologist who noted that the coronavirus was probably engineered has probably been threatened in some way by Fauci, as he has retracted his statements, and taken down his Twittere account.

    Therefore not all immigrants are created equal.

    Pretty simple and obvious to all people of intelligence and good will. The tougher question: Is why did they rule thus? Surely they’re not going to try and save the old United States at this point? I assume it’s just some squaring of the method with the tattered remains of the constitution. They’ll legalize them some other way or wait for Congress to act. Maybe they don’t want to be the actual hangmen of the old America. Let it sit in limbo until the Court and States expand in number a la the Biden Administration.

    In another decision, the Court refused to hear the question of why only men should get drafted. This also is a denial of the new America, but definitely one that serves to preserve it. I’m not sure if that’s good or not at this point. Back to the first ruling: If anyone tried to save America, use the army to close the border, they’d act as one to stop that, right?

    Thus do we twist in the wind. Too weak to live. Too strong to die.

    She must have suddenly sensed this one was not going to remain within the school and there was simply no way this was going to work out in her favor, given that the United States is now insane.

    She quickly and quietly left without making any statement. Went down a hole and pulled the hole in after her. Smart.

    Yale backs away from Black Professor who glories in her lurid fantasies of killing Whites. She’s amazed at the tizzy. She was just talking! But you see, dear, once talk like that become acceptable, others will act even if you don’t.

    Over the weekend, a woman with a funny name opened fire on a family of six going on vacation. Two bullets hit: one in a tire and one in the father’s arm. She had two kids of her own in the car.

    • MaryV June 7, 2021 at 9:01 pm #

      Sure, ‘it’s just talking!’ when a lib-wokie does it. But if you or I step out of line or get ‘creative’ with speech, it’s literal Hitler and we’re nazis.

      • Tate June 7, 2021 at 11:56 pm #

        You have to consider the context,

        “She said people of color can feel “intense rage and futility” when trying to talk to White people about race.”

        This woman interacts with no one but White people of the ‘idiot intellectual’ variety, people like Tekapo, but mostly in academia. They are the types who are constantly patronizing their pets, whom they refer to as ‘BIPOCs.’ If I were in her position, I would probably feel rage too & fantasize nothing more satisfying than going on a shooting spree & putting a bullet in their stupid heads. She is her own special variety of crazy, of course. But think of the self-satisfied pomposity of these clueless fools. They encouraged her in her delusions every step of the way. Just sayin…

        • MaryV June 8, 2021 at 11:49 am #

          Oh, I know the context all too well. I work in higher education.

          I am watching all this CRT/anti-racism pro-trans agenda crap putting its talons deep into our institution.

            Here’s confirmation of it from a piece by Kevin MacDonald:

            “[I]n a later interview, Khilanani said she thinks conservatives are “psychologically healthier.” “They are more in touch with their anger and negative feelings. They can articulate it. They can say it, they’re not covering it up or like ‘Oh my god, I’m amazing, I love all people.’ There’s not all this liberal fluff of goodness.””

    We’ve got a whole month of Pride Events to look forward to all over the state. Something for everybody, even the little ones. And everybody is getting in on the act, corporations, town governments, unions churches, even public schools who are sponsoring a poster contest, schools competing against other schools to create the best poster that both embodies and celebrates Gay Life. I’m not sure what the Prize is, maybe just youthful satisfaction of a job well done.

    The crowning event is a Transvestite Talent Show down in W Hartford sometime near the end of the month. That’ll be sweet.

          I think today’s freak shows are more disturbing. The original freaks were natural and the point of seeing them was to be revulsed. Today’s freaks are volunteers and the point of seeing them is to accept them and hopefully even recruit a few more.

    I went to see the cheesy horror movie “The Conjuring” last weekend. Unfortunately, in the real world, monsters don’t show up late at night wearing grotesque costumes and making loud noises in your bedroom. Real Life monsters are psychopaths who look like everyone else and they don’t kill you by chasing you in dark tunnels with blood curdling screams. Rather, they lie to your face while smiling and they insist that they’re trying to help you and keep you safe. Often, they are politicians, bureaucrats, MSM media personalities and blokes who wear lavender colored sweaters who look like Mr. Rogers. And then they stick little babies with DNA-altering mRNA “vaccines” that don’t work. One would have to inject 254 people with the Pfizer vaccine to prevent 1 Covid-19 infection. One would have to inject 164 people with the Moderna “vaccine” to prevent 1 Covid-19 infection.

    I read about stuff that guys way, way up the food chain, guys like Schwab and Soros, get up to, and I see some of it with my own two eyes, and I laugh. The shit they pulled these last few decades was spectacularly stupid, nothing short of that, in fact, it doesn’t get any stupider.

    They do not seem to grok that the “rights” and legal protections that those guys depend on to maintain their power and wealth don’t come out of nowhere. They only exist in the context of a nation state, which are organizations that have sub-units in the form of laws, legal systems, regulatory bodies, financial systems, currencies, police and military to enforce those rights.

    And it’s those same nation states that they’re doing their damndest to undermine, all in the relentless pursuit of every last denaro in existence, for any humble coin not in their own pockets they regard as a monumental affront to justice.

    I guess they’ve forgotten about that consummate “anywhere” man, one of their own, Carlos Ghosn, former CEO of Nissan, fabulously rich, of indeterminate residence, of uncertain nationality, hobnobber with heads of state and other people like him who move billions and ruin entire countries and continents.

    And so what happened to ole Carlos? Looks like he ran afoul of somebody in that land of compulsively bowing men. See? Mr Ghosn got a few hat sizes too big and some of the Japanese Deep State machinery issued a reminder of who ultimately calls the shots. It’s not guys like Carlos, or Tim Cook, or Jeff Bezos. If you need it spelled out, it’s men with guns and those that command them. Ghosn, a foreigner in Japan, forgot his place.

    Yeah, I know, he got away. “Anywhere” man? More like “nowhere” man, still holed up somewhere in Lebanon, trying to stay out of jail.

    Anyway, again, interest rates are the economy’s blood pressure, and given which, it’s pretty obvious that the global financial and economic system are contrivances that can’t work, that have no hope in hell, the fact of ZIRP in many places and even NIRP in some an illustration of how disheveled this shambling disassemblage has gotten.

    Oh, you want to short this mess? Sure, well, remember that the market can stay irrational a lot longer than you can stay solvent. But it can’t stay this way forever, the wrack and ruin in wide areas of the formerly industrialized west showing that collapse isn’t coming, it’s already here.

      Yes – I have stated very similar things in recent weeks, arguing that the international elites have huge influence, but they have to either be very careful of – or buy off handsomely – those who run national states, and in particular, those who are democratically elected.

      I believe those on here who have a Unified Theory of a vast over-riding world elite with so much power that they control everything – they are hugely mistaken, and the view is both not realistic, and lazy intellectually.

      Firstly, no-one has that much power, second, they compete with each other and are suspicious of each other, and thirdly, there is so much chaos in the world that if there is a ruling world elite, they’re doing a very piss-poor job of running the railroad.

      I agree that near-zero interest rates are both a sign of a dysfunctional money system, and that there are very few ways to cure the disease without also killing the patient.

        I believe the globalist-elite conspiracies are born from an attempt to understand why, and an intuition that, the entire fabric of our world – its assumptions, trajectories, history – is screwed up. It’s off. There’s a deep evil twisting everything. So, maybe it can be explained by elite manipulators who have an evil club through the centuries…

        There is an evil saturating our world, but it’s not explained by an evil club of elite manipulators. It’s explained by the human race’s almost complete dissociation from its natural state, which is to exist as small tribes dependent on wild nature. We have embarked on an experiment with agricultural and technological control over nature’s processes. These methods of control produce surpluses, growth, wealth, civilization, surplus population, slavery, complexity, smartphones. We are addicted to all these things. We are addicted to the short-lived thrills of agro-technical control over nature, to the highs of “success” these mechanisms of control bring.

        Our entire “period of recorded history” is the story of this human experiment with agro-technological control over nature’s processes and the power, surplus and destruction it brings.

        This is the actual source of the “evil” in the fabric of our world… (Of course it springs from natural human proclivity for and attraction to short-sighted successes… a difficulty of long-view foresight… a tendency to stupidity in the species.)

        Fighting “evil elites” won’t fix the problem. Democratic revolt won’t fix the problem… We have to unravel our five-to-ten-millenium addiction to agricultural/technological systems of producing “surplus profit” from our environment

        • MaryV June 8, 2021 at 11:39 am #

          Agree. We have to return to a more simple way of living, in touch with nature instead of constantly exploiting it for profit (as well as ourselves). How to get out from under the grip of the current ‘system’ though?

    The Founders were against “parties” or factions. I’d rather have individuals with different ideas running. But not that different – just different aspects of the Truth.

    America has nothing to do with the two party system. The one party system will be even worse. Real America would be a no party system.

    “You will own nothing, and you will be happy about it.”

    Perhaps as jarring as it is and does sound, I also feel that it is an intentional trigger for something that exists deep in the human psyche.

    The reality is that slavery, in many different forms, has actually been quite normative throughout human existence. There is still massive slavery today, but it would appear that the modern world is an outlier from the rest of history in the sense that open slavery in many places is stigmatized and criminalized. But certainly the likes of Davos Man would like to turn the clock back centuries in terms of both basic human rights and the size of the global population.

    ~~For the good of everyone and the earth, of course~~

    And so I do think trepidation of open predation is quite natural. Truly, it is all a never ending story. But rather than reestablishing the old ways it truly seems like the slavemasters have a new vision for the world. Though there is nothing new under the Sun. And with the realization of their dark visions The Nothing does expand further and erases more and more of the world.

    • Tekapo June 8, 2021 at 3:27 am #

      “You will own nothing, and you will be happy about it.”

      Good grief – another one who misquotes the misquote. Do you WEF-Davos crowd all belong to the same union or something? Have taken the same conspiracy pledge perhaps?

        Okay, Tekapo. How would you interpret Herr Klaus’ statement, then? Show us the silver lining, you know, what he really meant by those words (whether quoted verbatim or paraphrased)?

        Where is this obvious benign meaning of such a quote that we are all missing due to being rabid conspiracy nutters?

        • Tekapo June 8, 2021 at 4:20 pm #

          Here is the full “quote” from the WEF Glossy Brochure for their Vision 2030:

          “You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.
          Whatever you want you’ll rent, and it’ll be delivered by drone.”

          It is fatuous, juvenile, 9th Grade brochure writing … dreamt up presumably by the millennials in the back rooms of the WEF, after a six-hour brainstorming session, fuelled no doubt by vegan pizzas and soy milk.

          And it is untrue and counter-intuitive … anything small I want to consume might be drone-deliverable, but everything other than perhaps a smartphone that I would be likely to rent would be far too big to drone, and how could I return it at the end of the lease period?

          It is ridiculous copy writing, and so are several of the others on their list of 8.

          If these are the people who are going to run The Great Reset and the New World Order – even the most paranoid on here have very little to worry about. If the Glossy Brochure is any guide, this outfit couldn’t organise [insert favorite saying here].

      The plan to expand control through medical tyranny is not new, but IMO has the most likely chance of success at this point in history. We have enjoyed an unparalleled amount of freedom to live a fulfilling life.

      What they have done with the Corona Hoax in every country is use their puppets (many brought up through the WEF Young Leaders org.) to override established law by invoking emergency powers and attempting to codify permanent powers based on states of emergency.

      That is exactly what was done here in Germany when they changed the Bundesverfassung twice, with the second time adding a paragraph giving them the right to limit bodily sanctity.

      The pre-planning of the Covid-based passport (ID2020 project) started long ago. And the prototypes that I have seen prior to the recent release correspond directly with the charts on the WEF Website. The same passport is coming to the US, which is why some states have now preemptively banned them.

      US Federalism appears to still be strong enough to ward off the worst of what is coming right now. But over here in Europe, we are on the proverbial knife’s edge. We are one decision away from forced vaccination of children and a the ID.

      The criminals behind this fraud are working overtime to cement things in a way that cannot be undone. We are not quite there yet, but they are clearly not giving up.

        Yes, I sense here in the US they will not give up either and fully anticipate that they will pull off (or attempt to) another event/incident in order to reestablish full lockdowns and then vaccination mandates and passports. Perhaps the vaccines, which appear to actually increase covid case rates, will play a role in seeding new outbreaks which would set the tone for new restrictions. I do agree with you that the medical tyranny route seems to be their most successful ploy to date because such a large segment of the population is willing to entertain whatever restrictions and recommendations they are handed from their “experts” and “scientists”. And there is a natural human reaction to care for the sick and they want to use that care and concern for the bad. To increase repressive positive feedback loops in social behavior. Think mask lunatics and vaccination braggarts and bullies.

Then we would be slammed in the Autumn with new paranoia around new variants that resulted from all the near normal Summer activity. In essence attempting to kill two birds with one stone. Locking things down and initiating mass guilt for people trying to live normally and then using the variants to cement the entire agenda of lockdowns, passports and all the surveillance and tracking that goes with that.

    Efficacy…,

    “ In a November 26, 2020, BMJ article, Peter Doshi, associate editor of the journal, pointed out that while Pfizer claims its vaccine has a 95 percent efficacy rate, this is the relative risk reduction. The absolute risk reduction is actually less than 1 percent.6 In a later article Doshi presented yet additional concerns.7 For starters he points out that Pfizer did not consistently confirm whether test subjects who showed symptoms of COVID-19 were actually PCR-positive. Instead, a large portion of them were simply marked as “suspected COVID-19.” The problem with this is that the 95 percent efficacy rating is based on PCR-confirmed cases only. Since the data show there are 20 times more suspected cases than confirmed cases, the relative risk reduction may actually be as low as 19 percent, Doshi said, which is far below the 50 percent efficacy required for use authorization by regulators. What’s more, if suspected cases occurred in people who had false negative PCR test results, then the vaccine’s efficacy would be even lower. Yet another data point that might have a bearing on Pfizer’s efficacy rate was the exclusion of 371 participants from its efficacy analysis due to “important protocol deviations on or prior to 7 days after Dose 2.” Of those, 311 were from the vaccine group while only 60 were in the placebo group. Why were five times as many in the vaccine group excluded from the efficacy analysis than in the placebo group? And what exactly were these “protocol deviations” that caused them to be excluded? This is called stacking the deck so the results can be manipulated in the desired direction to “prove” efficacy, when it is merely a statistical manipulation. Will COVID-19 Vaccine Save Lives, Reduce Hospitalizations, or Prevent Transmission? Doshi has also pointed out that current trials are not designed to tell us whether the vaccines will actually save lives. And if they don’t, are they really worth the risks that might be involved? “What will it mean exactly when a vaccine is declared ‘effective’?,” he asks in his November 26 article. “To the public this seems fairly obvious. ‘The primary goal of a COVID-19 vaccine is to keep people from getting very sick and dying,’ a National Public Radio broadcast said bluntly … Yet the current phase III trials are not actually set up to prove either. None of the trials [were] designed to detect a reduction in any serious outcome such as hospital admissions, use of intensive care, or deaths.”8 Nor do the trials tell us anything about the vaccine’s ability to prevent asymptomatic infection and transmission, as this would require testing volunteers twice a week for long periods of time—a strategy that is “operationally untenable,” according to Tal Zaks, chief medical officer at Moderna.9”

And so if the vaccine is not effective in preventing covid infections, what is it meant to be effective for?

      Good question.

      Has anybody heard the name ‘Cash Gernon’ lately?

      No?

      I’m hearing about ‘George Floyd’ every day; our local media is still flogging his ‘Murder’. Floyd’s image is painted on giant murals on the side of abandoned buildings all over Hartford. The Mayor recently declaring Hartford “a center for the arts” might be nothing more than a ploy to give cover and legitimacy to this vandalism and grafitti, which is jarring when first viewed.

      It seems like ‘The Arts’, or becoming a “center of the arts” is a default position for these failed, dystopic cities, when all else has failed, and drive by shootings become commonplace.

      Note that not one state that significantly increased their mail-in voting flipped from Trump 2016 to Biden 2020. Not one.

      In other words, the six states that flipped to Biden in 2020 either already had extensive mail-in voting from 2016, or they didn’t change their system much between 2016 and 2020.

      That mail-in voting leads to more electoral fraud is a myth.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder June 9, 2021 at 12:50 pm #

        First, ,who cares what happened in 2016 vs 2020, Sir Strawman? People are talking about 2020. Eyes on the issue, not creating your own new one, as you are wont to do.

        Second, why do a majority of nations around the world not allow mail-in ballots? For example, why did France ban mail-in voting in the 1970s (due to voter fraud) if it’s a myth that it can increase voter fraud? Or is it that we’re just smarter than all of them?

        Admit it, you didn’t put any thought into your post, did you…it’s okay, we know.

    • Tekapo June 8, 2021 at 7:40 pm #

      oh, so that explains it.

      Well … have you considered the alternative?

      That in the six critical states, dark forces could secretly coordinate simultaneous vote stoppages and flips, AND that they all those states had connected, hackable software AND dozens of election workers have colluded to swing the vote AND that mostly Republican election officials were part of the sting, risking serious felony charges AND mostly Republican secretaries of state wilfully certified false count AND rigged manual manual recounts AND fraudulently signed off on Electoral College electors, AND all these people were vehemently anti-Trump, AND not one Trump lawyer figured this out, AND not one Trump lawyer was able to find an uncorrupted judge to hear the evidence … and, and …

      I don’t know about you, but in the face of this long list of necessary conditions, I tend to believe a few workers wanted to duck out for a smoke 🙂

      And no doubt to the relief of many, I will cease from now on arguing why the 2020 Election has not been proven at any point to have been fraudulent. It is not the same thing as saying they were fair and honest – but to date no state has revised or reversed their position – that they ran fair and honest elections.

      The exercise in Arizona lacks credibility – and in fact it’s dragging on and on with no bombshell leaks at all, which I find unusual.

          Your paraphrasing is both incorrect, and egregiously illogical.

          Take note of the (only) correct reading: I have never said the election was fair and honest, obviously because I’m not in a position to prove the negative (no fraudulent votes).

          But I accept that it was honest, given that 50 states (mostly Republican controlled) have solemnly certified that they were, AND those who claim it was fraudulent have the onus upon them to prove their case, and they have spectacularly failed to do so.

    Time to “open the Kimono”…do you have the CUD?

    Newsmax, (a site you can trust) has reported on a new syndrome, “Cannabis Users Disorder”.

    https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/drg-gen-gov-hea/2021/06/08/id/1024289/

    Apparently, chronic users of “Mary Jane”, (and I would suspect that most of the readership is heavily invested in it’s use) will suffer this terrible disease (Especially Yo, who has repeatedly suggested that I might benefit greatly from it’s use).

    It is not a time to point fingers, however. The wretched victims of this disease are to be treated with a guarded respect… the same as AID’s sufferers, their catamites, or Democrats.

    A short documentary will describe the symptoms…at the time, there is no cure. A link downstream will be provided.

        I usually don’t wade into all the racial talk on CFN, Heckler, but I do have 2 things to say:

        1) Weed being ilLegal and a felony for possession of small amounts has destroyed millions of young Americans’ lives in a ridiculous prohibition of a harmless substance.

        Had the USA retained Freedom vis-a-vis Mary Jane and taxed its Legal consumption like it does alcohol, organized crime would take a Big hit (pun intended) at all levels as would the USA’s weirdly unique Big Incaceration industry.

        People are going to smoke weed regardless Just as people went to speakeasies during Al Capone’s day.

        2) When in Paris with my son in 2014, our accomodations were in an apartment in a vast majority black community. I didn’t realize the difference Right away and then my son, only 16 at the time, hit the nail on the head:

        “Have you noticed how the young black men here are not threatening? See? It is not nature, it’s nurture.”

        We were there a few more days and I did notice after that. I remember walking back to our apartment 1 night and walking by a line-up to get in a packed, loud bar on an otherwise quiet street. Dozens of young blackmen and me, a 49 year-old white guy from Canada. Most completely ignored me. A couple smiled at me.

        That was Paris. I did not feel the same in Atlanta a couple of months earlier.

      So when legalization began spreading from sea to shining sea, I was kinda surprised. Now I get it. Legalize cannabis so people can get “addicted”*, then spend a lifetime using dangerous and expensive pharmaceuticals to “get their life back”.

      *Cannabis has never been found to be physiologically addictive. Like anything – Twinkies, porn, trolling – it can become psychologically addictive. Why aren’t we being protected from everything?

      I also have noticed that everything “bad” they come up with to harp on, be it climate change, health care, supply shortages, education, available pizza toppings…nearly every story talking about these things has to mention that it always affects people of color more than the rest. They rarely offer exactly how it does, just that it does. What about the people in those same neighborhoods that are not of color? Must not affect them.

      One example I’ve heard is that temperatures in cities are on average 1 degree warmer than out in the country, therefore POC are taking the brunt of climate change…that’s a matter of location/demographics, not racism, folks. Cities are always warmer than the country by nature of concrete/asphalt/windblocks. Move if you’re hot.

      Another they cite is lack of trees. Ummm, I had a house in north Mpls for about 5 years in my late 20’s, there were more trees than we knew what to do with, 80 yr-old trees canopy the streets and yeards in every neighborhood there. Stupid theory.

      Sure, in some cases it may, I’m just pointing out that this now has to be inserted into every story somehow, as if it’s a given. Kinda like “the geese are not in their normal numbers on Lake Crankyank this year, scientists are baffled, though most point to climate change as the culprit.”

      Or…they could just say, “Huh. We don’t know, we’re looking into where the hell they went this year.”

      But it’s the narrative that has to be pushed. So droningly obvious, you can almost quote it before they say it.

      • MaryV June 8, 2021 at 7:55 pm #

        They’ve created knee-jerk narratives and sound bytes, that are repeated ad nauseam (and climate change being racist is a big one – I had to hear that over and over when I sat on a sustainability committee at my college, so I left the committee).

        It’s idiotic, just like everything else the libs believe nowadays.

      Whites keep taking the vaccines meant for Blacks! Oh those lucky Blacks!

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder June 8, 2021 at 11:59 am #

        Oddly enough, I’ve heard that news story too. “People of color are finding it disproportionately harder to get access to vaccines.”

        Bullshit.

        They’re handing them out at the friggin’ grocery store for free. They also are offering free rides to and from vax sites for elderly or people of any age without access to transportation.

        So where does the “disproportionate” part come into play? That has not been explained, nor will it. We’ll just continue to be told that’s what’s going on.

            Ever see something on the news that’s utterly bizarre, presently just for a second and without comment?

            I saw a clip lasting two seconds or so of little Black kids giving the jab to people waiting in line in their cars.

          • O.G. Hawkins June 8, 2021 at 2:04 pm #

            Yes I did, Yoho. A couple nights ago as a matter of fact. I mainly use TV for live sports but caught some Canadian news before a Big NHL Playoff Game.

            There were a couple of jabbings completely out of context. Maybe a second. Jab. Jab.

            We are inundated with jabs on our TVs in Canada. And kids playing hockey. And kids hugging Grandma. Jabbed-percentage thresholds are being set for our return to “normal” and I flip the bird at my TV every single time these propaganda messages are shown.

            That and 215. 215 native children’s bodies discovered in Kamloops with new Earth-pentrating radar technology. The Orange Ribbons are on every lapel like Poppies in early November. Uniform.

            Our TV never specifies if our dear Queen Lizard drained any of those particular 215 herself.

In what’s described as the wealthiest Atlanta suburb, Club Members were riding around shooting at white pedestrians and JOGGERS, hitting one man from the neighborhood 2X. This is a jogger case in reverse! Heard anything about it? Not far from from CNN HQ, they have their best reporters on the story ahahahahaha.

      • O.G. Hawkins June 8, 2021 at 2:18 pm #

        There is massive Chinese money in Canadian Big city Real Estate. Vancouver & Toronto. I have not heard about them buying up our farmland, however, and I live in bread-basket Saskatchewan.

        I’ll add, SSL, that the Chinese own the USA. They earned it fair and square.

        For at least 3 decades corporations gutted US production to have Chinese peasants make ridiculously cheap Walmart products shipped half-way around the World and then trucked to St. Louis or Des Moines (on depleting, valuable resources) to run an unprecedented Trade Imbalance financed on fairy-dust Petro-Dollar-denominated T-Bills. The USA was sold to China for cheap microwave ovens and Rainbow BoyGirl action figures.

Still, there is insatiable hunger amongst the gods for total power and control, as there has been since ZEUS crushed the last rebellion some millenia ago. I’m quite sure it will all work out in the end, and if not, there is always the next world war to look forward to.

And they are clever and sly enough to do so and then they can say, see this is what you wanted all along.

Some guy from New Britain bought them. It seems he had a vacant apartment and his radiators disappeared one night. These things were like 300 lbs a piece.Crackheads are one determined bunch of thieves. Around the same time I picked up a wire thief. Him and his buddy were stealing wire from an old industrial place. Oops! One of the lines they cut was still juiced. 12-14,000 volts I think. Cooked the guy through and through. He died a slow death which took about a week. Metal prices are through the roof again and the catalytic converters are being stolen like crazy around here. The scrap yards know there stolen but they buy them anyway. There’s your green new deal.

    Quackwatch.org is a highly respected blog about science misinformation. Here is a segment of a report on Dr. Mercola:

    “Mercola has reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic by claiming that many of his products can boost immunity and by attacking the preventive advice given by public health agencies throughout the world. He has claimed, for example, that masks cause “oxygen deprivation” and that the mainstream recommendation for mask-wearing “has nothing to do with decreasing the spread of the virus, but more to indoctrinate you into submission.” [31] He has also encouragied “civil disobedience” in areas where mask-wearing was mandated [32] and had many articles advising against COVID-19 vaccination.

    In August 2020, the Center for Science in the Public Interest and other nonprofit legal groups urged the FDA and FTC to stop Mercola from marketing at least 23 products with false claims that they can prevent or treat the disease. The letters stated:

    Mercola Group has been capitalizing on the coronavirus pandemic by advising consumers to purchase vitamins, supplements, and other products sold on its website to prevent or treat the virus. Mercola Group’s website contains many misleading articles, such as “Nutrition and Natural Strategies Offer Hope Against COVID-19,” and a “Coronavirus Resource Guide” compiling various unsubstantiated claims about the COVID-fighting properties of various supplements. It also offers “medical” advice, including the extraordinarily dangerous and unsubstantiated recommendation that individuals actually try to contract COVID-19 after using the supplements it sells to ameliorate the symptoms.

    Mercola Group and Dr. Mercola make multiple deceptive and unsubstantiated claims in marketing supplements and other products. The products that Mercola Group sells through its online store, and that Dr. Mercola has endorsed in public statements . . . for the prevention and/or treatment of COVID-19, include: vitamin C (specifically, liposomal vitamin C); vitamin D; zinc and selenium (which Mercola Group sells together); melatonin; licorice; molecular hydrogen; astaxanthin; n-acetyl cysteine; prebiotics, probiotics, and sporebiotics; saunas; ozone therapy; elderberry extract; spirulina; beta-glucan; lipoic acid; and sulforaphane [33,34].

    The letters were accompanied by a chart that detailed the challenged claims [35]. In February 2021, the FDA ordered Mercola to stop suggesting on his website that “Liposomal Vitamin C,” “Liposomal Vitamin D3,” and “Quercetin and Pterostilbene Advanced” sold through his site are effective in preventing or treating COVID-19 and other viral infections [36].

    In March 2021, the Center for Countering Digital Hate placed Mercola first on its list of “The Disinformation Dozen” who “do not have relevant medical expertise and have their own pockets to line, who are abusing social media platforms to misrepresent the threat of Covid and spread misinformation about the safety of vaccines.” His live-in partner, , Eriin Elizabeth, was listed seventh. The report also estimated that Mercola’s accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram totaled about 3.6 million followers [37].

    In my opinion, the dangerousness of his advice, the fact that millions of people take him seriously, and his funding of organizations that promote unscientific practices and/or oppose proven public health measures make him the world’s most dangerous supplier of health misinformation.”

    ME: I doubt the CFNers here who never consider ideas contrary to their pre-conceptions will give this any credence, but I’m hoping some other readers who are more open-minded will read this and think about being a little more skeptical.

    • O.G. Hawkins June 8, 2021 at 6:26 pm #

      Hey Bill,

      Speaking of open-mindedness, do you not find it odd that we are all taught the exact number of Jews that Hitler exterminated (Hint: 6,000,000) but none of us are taught how many people that Hitler exterminated?

      Only someone with a closed mind would not find this odd, imho.

      Thanks for the post, Bill. Always follow the $$$.

      It’s no wonder that “Dr Mercola” is so much loved by the “corona hoax” crowd on here – he nicely suits their preferred false narrative. Science and data and evidence – who needs that?

      It might be a great idea to have a “Disinformation Dozen” on this forum too – for the “corona hoax” and Schwab-a-phobe types. Might need to make it the Two Dozen though.

      It’s pretty funny—peculiar, not ha ha–that people like BTB get their panties in a twist about Dr. Mercola selling products on his website.

      But nothing about the trillions made by Big Pharma with their fraudulent products bothers him at all!!!

      Quackwatch is run by whom?

      Dr. Mercola’s articles are sourced. If you distrust the sources, fine—it is your job as a reader to weigh evidence and make up your own mind about your health decisions.

      But it is, frankly, pathetic for people to rely on ad-hominem type advisories by unknown parties. Ad-hom because you are making up your mind about Dr. Mercola’s info not on the basis of the actual info but on the basis of someone else says who also does not dissect the actual info. I.e., you let someone else make up your mind for you. You are a sheeple.

      Without a sheepdog to herd you, such as Quackwatch, you are lost.

      I recommend that you follow all of the Olis’ advice and get a couple of jabs ASAP. That’s evolution fer ya!

      • beantownbill. June 8, 2021 at 9:12 pm #

        I stated the info came from Quackwatch.org. If you weren’t so close- minded, maybe you would have bothered to peruse the website and see who wrote the article, who runs the site (Dr. Stephen Barrett, btw), and who backs the claims.

        It’s funny, because you’re making incorrect claims about me. You’re claiming It doesn’t bother me at all about Big Pharma making trillions of $. Please point out where I said that? I don’t appreciate someone putting words into my mouth. I happen to despise Big Pharma. But my post was only about Dr. Mercola, so it wasn’t relevant or necessary to state my feelings about the industry. You are guilty of using several logical fallacies, which can be summed up under the rubric of “jumping to conclusions”.

          It’s a proven fact that the rightwing have no logic to them – and will always resort to the ad hom, since they are consistently on the losing side of any genuine discussion. Distortion and obfuscation are therefore their only defence.

    France’s new health pass also comes into effect on June 9, enabling access to activities with large crowds. The pass, available digitally through the “Tous Anti-Covid” virus tracing app or in paper form, provides proof that an individual age 11 and up has been fully vaccinated against Covid-19; has tested positive for Covid-19 more than 15 days ago and within the last six months (with the resulting natural antibodies reducing the risk of reinfection); or has tested negative with a recent Covid-19 PCR test.
    The health pass will allow access to gatherings of more than 1,000 people, including indoor and outdoor sporting events, cultural venues, casinos, festivals, trade shows and funfairs.

        • GreenAlba June 9, 2021 at 12:01 pm #

          Mr Hawkins

          The fact that you repeatedly twist my words is one of the reasons I don’t wish to have any further engagement with you. Another is the fact that you clearly don’t like being ignored and will sprinkle your posts with idiocy about lizard queens to try to get a rise (don’t bother – having demolished your idiocy once I’m happy for you to diminish your credibility over and over again if that is your choice).

          It took me a while to find the thread to which you refer, as you sometimes ‘contribute’ upwards of 100 posts. But I did find it.

          And what I found was a thread where the preparation of vaxx passports for international travel was already acknowledged (Germany, EU), with proposals in the UK.

          The French example you give is a health pass to access gatherings of over 1000 people, not a ‘mark to buy and sell’, which was the subject of your prediction. And said health pass doesn’t require a vaccination – testing is also acceptable.

          Here’s what was actually said:

          OGH: “Us Refuseniks will be shutout from buying and selling.”

          GA: Well, that’s the bit we’ll be looking at this time next year, OG.

          Please don’t bother me again before April 2022.

          • GreenAlba June 9, 2021 at 1:52 pm #

            In the meantime, perhaps you could consider getting off your metaphorical arse to send a formal complaint to your electoral representative, as I’ve done on your behalf (broadly, not in Canada), instead of sitting on it waiting to win ‘bets’.

          • GreenAlba June 10, 2021 at 6:36 am #

            That might be because you’re not good at nuance, Yer Maj.

            OG Hawkins deliberately challenged my moral integrity to get me to respond. Had I not responded he would have continued to challenge my moral integrity.

            But you knew that, back in your passive-aggressive royal palace.

            And I’m laughing myself silly at the way you are so obsessed with me you can’t stop making those passive-aggressive comments when you said you never respond to my comments.

            When you’ve just responded to my comment.

            Poor Mary. No self-awareness.

          • GreenAlba June 10, 2021 at 6:41 am #

            And I’m sorry you find long paragraphs a problem.

            I think you have opined elsewhere about people who find long paragraphs too difficult for them, so you have my sympathy there.

      It’s not clear from the link what “proven” means – people were convicted of a crime? It’s also not clear (or I could not find) how many jurisdictions, and over what period of time (Since 1788? Thousands of municipal, city, county, state, and federal elections?).

    “Eventually, all these late-discovered ballots put Al Franken ahead by 312 votes, whereupon he was immediately certified the winner by the George Soros-backed Minnesota secretary of state.

    A few years later, we found out that more than 1,000 felons, ineligible to vote, had cast votes in the 2008 Minnesota election. (To state the obvious, felons support Democrats by about 10-1.) There were 113 separate convictions for voter fraud in that election. That’s not easy: In Minnesota, a conviction for voter fraud requires proof that you broke the law knowingly.

    At issue was the definition the county was using to count COVID-19 deaths, requiring only that a patient tested positive for the virus at the time of their passing, even if they did not die as a direct result of the virus. In one such case, a person who tested positive for COVID-19 and died in a car crash was recorded as a COVID-19 death.

    In April, Dr. Aruna Khilanani delivered a virtual speech for a Yale panel discussion wherein she said that she has “fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step. Like I did the world a f***ing favor.”In an email to the New York Times, Khilanani said that she was attempting to use “provocation as a tool for real engagement” and that her words had been taken out of context in an attempt to “control the narrative” around race.

  77. Pucker June 8, 2021 at 7:50 pm #

    They conflate a positive PCR test result with a Covid 19 case, which is raw fraud. The PCR test is widely inaccurate and likely to produce false positives if run at too high a number of amplification cycles. Above 35 cycles, it’s useless as Fauci has admitted. One can rig the daily Covid 19 case numbers by simply lowering the standard number of prescribed amplification cycles to lower the case numbers. If you want the case numbers to go up, then raise the number of required amplification cycles for the PCR test. Also, the PCR test only looks for pieces of the virus. Even if the PCR test identifies a piece of the Covid 19 virus, the particular piece could be part of a similar coronavirus that is not Covid 19, or it could be dead virus, in which case the subject does not have Covid 19.

            BTW, you may have to take some of the blame if I’m hobbled by MI5. In my cross email to my MP (triggered by seeing Tony Blair’s face proposing domestic vaxx passes) I perhaps foolishly said I’d seen government documents advising the authorities to target people emotionally to make them more afraid. That was because of the link you posted.

            I don’t think you need to worry about MI5. (I’m assuming you don’t normally have furtive-looking men hanging near your flat?)

    One prime criterion for critical thinking is that a claim must not only be based on evidence, but that evidence is from a reliable source. The evidence must also be reproducible. A good example is the claim of cold or room temperature fusion. Several claimants’ results were never able to be reproduced in any other similar experiments, hence cold fusion is just labeled a claim, nothing more.

    CFN (or what’s left of it) should really tune in Jimbo’s most recent podcast w/ Dr. Tim Morgan, author of “Life After Growth”. I had not heard of him (ignorant, I guess), but it is a great interview.

    Kinda brought back memories of the ol’ one-armed environmental economist Herman Daly and author of “Beyond Growth”, a required read from back in my college days.

    And even further back is Bertrand Russel who penned (1950s?) the following. Suppose a certain number of people are employed making all the pins the world needs. An invention (ie technology in today’s world) is introduced that allows the same number of employees to make twice as many pins during their eight-hour workday. In a sensible world, everybody concerned with the manufacture of pins, would take to working four hours instead of eight, and everything else would go on as before.

    In the far-from-sensible real world, the production of pins would be doubled, causing a glut on the market, the bankruptcy of half the pin industry, and the unemployment of half its working force. Thus it is insured that leisure shall cause misery all around instead of being a source of happiness.

    So the death spiral continues today and the coin spins faster and faster toward the center of the cone

      tom: This is what I, Gustaf, and others have been talking. The paradoxes of Capitalism and State Capitalism and industrial modernity in general. Instead of using machines to save us from labor, we use them to ruin us with surpluses and over work. I tried to bring this up with Mango but he adroitly changed the subject.

      This is your best, greatest and perhaps only good post to date. I haven’t heard of Daly, but Schumacher, Mumford, Leopold Kohr and others have said much the same thing.

      The Ancient Greeks defended slavery because they needed leisure. We’ll give it up when the wheels turn by themselves. We’ve gotten that and now everyone is a slave of the Wheel – and those who own and/or control It.

      You’re a gentile Woody Allen type, always into self deprecation. Can’t you see yourself as the hapless Charlie Chaplin in that movie – blanking on the title – trying to tighten the widgets and failing to keep up.

          A pinko. Not a National Socialist. All ideologies fail because of fallen human nature. But some fail immediately because they are simply flawed and incorrect – not taking fallen human nature into account for example. National Socialism is free of that fault, though not the existential fallen nature of man needless to say.

          • Tate June 9, 2021 at 8:57 am #

            “A pinko. Not a National Socialist.”

            Well, he did a pretty good impersonation of the Meat Tenderizer guy in his subsequent film, “The Great Dictator.” I’d have to agree on the reason for the failure of ideology though. We’re not angels.

            If it ends in “ism,” one should be suspicious. Except for “Realism.” Maybe. But progressive reformers would say even that is no guide. (Because akshually, we really are angels, doncha know? wink wink) That was once a lively subject of debate in some rarefied circles. With the foul stench now emitted within the ivied halls, I’m sure that debate doesn’t happen anymore.

    The ultimate question: was the black murderer in this heinous black-on-white murder in Fargo, North Dakota, a refugee resettled in one of America’s whitest major cities?

    Was this murderer of an innocent white teenager brought to our nation by a refugee resettlement agency?

    Her name is Jupiter Paulsen, a 14-year-old white girl stabbed more than 20 times by a black male in Fargo, ND: Was He a Refugee?. She would subsequently pass away after fighting for her life in a hospital. [Father says Fargo stabbing victim, 14, unlikely to survive; judge sets $1M bail for suspect: An assailant choked the 14-year-old and stabbed her more than 20 times over the course of about 20 minutes in an attack that was caught in part on security video, the victim’s father said., Duluth News Tribune, June 7, 2021]:

        The unfortunate sack of excrement, Arthur Prince Kollie, “suffers from anxiety, depression, and multiple personality disorder” – guess that explains why he assaulted a police officer in 2017, and why he is on parole rather than in prison. Parole again? He’s trying to get his life back in order, hard to do that in the big house.

        The photo contrast in The Daily Beast is great. Jupiter Paulsen in a hospital bed on life support, brave Mr. Kollie with a cute little bandage on his nose. Maybe Aruna Khilinani and Patrisse Cullors can cover his $1 million bail. Gotta get this boy back on the street so we can burn it down and name the melted asphalt after him.

    Antibody Dependent Enhancement

    “ The risk of antibody-dependent immune enhancement, also known as paradoxical immune enhancement (PIE), was highlighted in the paper “Informed Consent Disclosure to Vaccine Trial Subjects of Risk of COVID-19 Vaccine Worsening Clinical Disease,” published in the International Journal of Clinical Practice, October 28, 2020. “COVID-19 vaccines designed to elicit neutralizing antibodies may sensitize vaccine recipients to more severe disease than if they were not vaccinated,” the paper states, adding: Vaccines for SARS, MERS and RSV have never been approved, and the data generated in the development and testing of these vaccines suggest a serious mechanistic concern: Vaccines designed empirically using the traditional approach (consisting of the unmodified or minimally modified coronavirus viral spike to elicit neutralizing antibodies), be they composed of protein, viral vector, DNA or RNA and irrespective of delivery method, may worsen COVID-19 disease via antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE).16 Previous Coronavirus Vaccine Tests Were Flagged for Safety Risks This risk, however, was not communicated to Pfizer and Moderna clinical trial participants. If one or more COVID-19 vaccines turn out to cause this type of immune enhancement, we could be looking at an avalanche of critical illnesses and deaths as people start being exposed to any number of mutated SARS-CoV-2 strains. The saddest part is that this information was known, yet suppressed. In May 2020 I interviewed Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., about this very issue, at which time he provided the following story: Coronavirus vaccine development began after three SARS epidemics had broken out, starting in early 2002. The Chinese, the Americans, the Europeans all got together and said, “We need to develop a vaccine against coronavirus.” Around 2012, they had about 30 vaccines that looked promising. They took the four best of those and manufactured the vaccines. They gave those vaccines to ferrets, which are the closest analogy when you’re looking at lung infections in human beings. The ferrets had an extraordinarily good antibody response, and that is the metric by which FDA licenses vaccines. So they thought, “We hit the jackpot.” All four of these vaccines worked like a charm. Then something terrible happened. Those ferrets were then exposed to the wild virus, developed inflammation in all their organs, their lungs stopped functioning. The scientists remembered that the same thing had happened in the 1960s when they tried to develop an RSV vaccine, which is an upper respiratory illness very similar to coronavirus. At the time, they did not test it on animals. They went right to human testing. They tested it on about 35 children, and the same thing happened. The children developed a champion antibody response, robust, durable. It looked perfect, and then the children were exposed to the wild virus and they all became sick. Two of them died. They abandoned the vaccine. It was a big embarrassment to FDA and NIH. Those scientists in 2012 remembered that, so, they looked closer and they realized that there are two kinds of antibodies being produced by the coronavirus. There are neutralizing antibodies, which are the kind you want, which fight the disease, and then there are binding antibodies. The binding antibodies actually create a pathway for the disease in your body, and they trigger something called a paradoxical immune response or paradoxical immune enhancement. What that means is that it looks good until you get the disease, and then it makes the disease much, much worse. Coronavirus vaccines can be very dangerous, and that’s why even our enemies, people who hate you and me—Peter Hotez, Paul Offit, Ian Lipkin—are all saying, “You got to be really, really careful with this vaccine.”

      If you recall very early last year there were several videos of people supposedly falling out dead in the streets in China, South Korea, and Iran from covid. And I kept seeing blurbs about the people who were falling dead in the streets being people who receved the vaccine for the original SARS virus. And they alluded to severe inflammation responses being the cause of people collapsing in the streets in those instances. It makes you wonder wtf is really happening right now. It’s very scary. And why are they literally bribing people to get the vaccine and still not many people show up if it is so innately wonderul?

        I was listening to that guy, Clif High, who someone up here posted a link to. While very eccentric and claiming some odd stuff I’m not quite on board with, one thing he said was that the best defense against being ‘shed’ on if that’s a thing, by a vaxxed person, is making sure you take the requisite amount of Vit D in your system. He said that is key, and he explained why. It’s also key for people who did take the vaxx as their D will be depleted by the spike protein (his theory anyway).

        For an adult, that’s around 1000-1400 IUs per day, give or take. The toleration level apparently is around 4000 IUs. After that, too much, although if you are deficient, many can take huge loads of it for a few days (up to 10K) until you start feeling better.

        This is probably why the PTB didn’t like homeopaths talking about Vit. C and D3 at the beginning of the plandemic. They of course shut down most of those types of clinics.

        • beantownbill. June 9, 2021 at 11:38 am #

          We take 1,000 units every day and have been fine. We would go up to 2-3000 units if we had to, but so far have had no problems. Vit. D3 is essential for health.

          You’re being too kind about Clif High. He’s quite weird, what with talking about lizard people and space aliens (although we ARE being taken over by aliens – the illegal Human ones).

        Yeah, Pfizer said pregnant women should avoid sex with the jabbed for seven weeks after injection. So they knew something was up. The spikes seem to attack the reproductive system (in men as well), so it is clearly an attempt at mass sterilization. At the same time, why just seven weeks? Does the process begin to slow down? Perhaps there is hope for those who have been jabbed and who refrain from further jabs. I hope so.

        • SoftStarLight June 9, 2021 at 12:49 pm #

          Yeah that is interesting. Maybe the shedding does taper off after all. That would be good but how will we ever really know for sure since they seem so intent in keeping the details so close to the vest. I think vest works there? But there seems to be agreement that the spike protein targets fertility. So it is very hard to think that it is all just an accident or a coincidence. And it is interesting because with other vaccines doctors apparently openly acknowledge there is shedding.

        Because hard assets are still going to be worth money. Which is why my Rolexes and house have increased in value by about 200 percent in just a few years.

        Houses in my hood now sell for double what we paid two years ago. And those are “fixer-uppers.” In most areas here, the market is literally empty. Betongold as the Germans say does not lose value. And in times of crisis, it is one of the only places an intelligent individual would or even could put their money.

        Why wouldn’t they wait till the Great Crash – which will be entirely necessary to invoke your ‘Great Reset’ – when once they have screwed the 99% and could pick up these assets for pennies on the dollar?

          Um. Tekapo. They are buying them up now because they know the bubble has a ways to go before splattering middle-class livelihoods across the landscape. So even buying now at a connsiderable markup, they can hold on to them and make a shitload of money either selling when the time is right, or by simply holding ownership in a ton of properties worth way more than they paid.

            In 1979-1980, when inflation was around 14%, more or less, and mortgage rates hit 21.5% at the peak, real estate prices couldn’t keep up with the rate of inflation and lost real value. Prices then rebounded when inflation went down under Reagan, but I have a feeling this time things will be a lot worse.

          • Night Owl June 9, 2021 at 11:45 am #

            Precisely. Also, quality homes in decent areas never really lose value. Everyone needs housing, but many cannot afford a house, unfortunately. And in the world they are telling us they want to create, they don’t want anyone owning a house.

            That is why they are buying up entire neighborhoods. To rent to Joe Subsistence down the road. And that is assuming Joe’s vaxxes are up to date and his digital accounts in order.

        “Your fevered conspiratorial dreams aren’t logical.”

        They don’t have to wait for the “Great Crash.” So his as you call it “fevered conspiratorial dreams” don’t violate logic. As I explained in an earlier comment, if billionaires (as a group especially) lose 75% of their nominal wealth, it matters not a whit to them. They are still in control. And they have remedies the ordinary mortgagee doesn’t have to shield their wealth. For the average homeowner, that 75% loss of equity is a disaster, for the billionaire, not really. They have gained in wealth & influence relative to the rank-&-file. That’s all that matters to them.

        • Blackbird June 9, 2021 at 10:30 am #

          When “the Great Crash” comes, the billionaires will lose lots of fake money, ones and zeros floating around in the ether will simply disappear. Before that happens, they will have pulled a lot of that fake money out of the ether and converted it to tangible assets – houses, property, etc.

          The rest of us will be thrashed into debt, our assets seized in order to cancel our debt. Onto UBI and into Section 8 – but only if you play by the rules, get your shot, get your pass, get your ass back to your cube in front of the TV.

    Those suitcases full of ballots that were pulled out of hiding after the counters had been sent home are back in the spotlight:

    https://twitter.com/DJcalligraphy/status/1401544947476561930

    It appears they have identified and subpoenaed the culprits and even have audio of them talking about the fraud.

    Trump won. Hahahahahaha!

    • SoftStarLight June 9, 2021 at 10:11 am #

      Trump obviously did win given the reaction to the audits. The fact that politicians and bureaucrats are trying to stop the audits just proves that they are all conspirators upholding a fake and fraudulent system.

      • beantownbill. June 9, 2021 at 10:44 am #

        There’s a perfectly logical alternate explanation. Given that the country is moving on (I won’t say forward) without any revolution – so far – and acts as if Biden is the president, then from a strategic viewpoint, the dems have nothing to gain and everything to lose from the conducting of audits because there’s always the possibility that Trump did win because of honest miscounting. Of course, maybe they did cheat, which is another possibility. But their opposition hardly proves Trump did win. SSL I’m disappointed in you.

            LOL you are so silly Og when your not busy being brilliant 🙂

            Bill I do understand what you are saying and there is some logic there from what I sense but also I would hardly think that a President who supposedly won the largest number of votes ever in the history of the country would be worried about winning because of miscounting. Are you indicating that it is possible for over four to five million votes being classified as miscounts? If so then we may have even bigger problems with a seriously flawed system. If the Dems were confident Biden won fair and square they would want the audits to go forward to make Republicans look like obsessed sore losers. So I see that if they are in a good position they wouldn’t care. Seems logical to me.

        • Night Owl June 9, 2021 at 11:47 am #

          It isn’t about what they have to gain. It is about who actually won the presidency.

          There is only one reason they are fighting tooth and nail to stop the audits.

    The vaxx pass is coming to Europe in July. Notice how they make it sound so casual and unrestrictive. But as usual, the launch of the pass is not even the real story. Not really. The infrastructure they develop to maintain tracking of the passes could easily be used for purposes greater than what they say is intended. Also, this is to get the sheep accustomed to the system psychologically and socially. Soon the herds will be demanding the pass. For safety and security. The billionaires are not stupid but they are human. Well for conversation purposes lol. So their plans are not really all that spectacular. Just clever and smart.

          • GreenAlba June 9, 2021 at 1:07 pm #

            I didn’t say testing wasn’t invasive, I said you can’t demand that another country let you in without knowing you’re not going to spread the disease in THEIR country. You find a solution if you want one.

            I also said that your passport, payment cards and phone can already be used to track you. I didn’t suggest that was a good thing either. I don’t switch Bluetooth on on my phone, even on the few occasions that I take it out with me.

      “The infrastructure they develop to maintain tracking of the passes could easily be used for purposes greater than what they say is intended.”

      I’m pretty sure the PTB could use my normal passport to track me if they so wished. And my normal, health-app-free phone. And my debit card.

      And this EU pass doesn’t even require vaccination – testing before travel is also accepted. My daughter is travelling that way already. A bit of a faff getting tested but I guess it’s Italy’s right not to just say ‘come on in’ if it so chooses. Or maybe you think they don’t have that right?

      • SoftStarLight June 9, 2021 at 1:06 pm #

        Well Italy has chosen to usurp itself by joining the EU so they don’t have the same rights as they would if they were totally independent. I agree with you that there are many ways that the PTB can track and trace. But I honestly believe it is more about the psychological architecture they are attempting to build. Never before has a tracking system that I am aware of like this been tied to health and healthcare. What can be more intimate? It’s another way for the state to dictate every aspect of existence. Plus who knows what those tests really are.

        • GreenAlba June 9, 2021 at 1:11 pm #

          Well, it may be, SSL (re the psychological architecture) but Italy would have the right to test people even it it weren’t in the EU (as has the UK and other sovereign nations which are doing the same thing).

          Being in the EU actually saved their bacon for a while last year. They started by taking really sick Covid patients from Lombardy to other hospitals by helicopter, as ICUs overflowed. Then, they sent them to German hospitals. Not sure that would have happened without the EU link, but I don’t know.

      • Slugoon June 9, 2021 at 1:07 pm #

        If I had to put my tin foil hat on, Alba, I’d say that tracking people may not be the primary purpose, at least initially.

        I’m guessing these passes will have a very convenient Q code that can be scanned and referenced back to a central database with minimal and modest hardware. It can be done with any smartphone, which everybody (except for me) carries. It also has an air of informality about it, nothing so formal as a passport, gosh no.

        To begin with it’s used to facilitate travel, which may just act to push people into getting a vax to avoid the hassle of testing, although the rules may change at any time. Harmless, right? Slowly, and insidiously, it begins to be used by private businesses for other purposes. Access to venues. Maybe even the supermarket would like the ‘reassurance’ that you’re not going to give Gladys in Aisle 7 a dose of Captain Tripps.

        Sooner or later the government starts to use the card, maybe for your visit to the doctor or dentist, or to claim your benefits. Why not? It’s just a harmless card that’s part of everyday life anyway now, right?

        Fast forward a few years. The government now has every swipe of that card from every citizen logged. It’s use is normalised. Trillions of bytes of data, all quantifiable and perhaps good for some AI to go to work on for analysis. Maybe they could even use some of that data, you know, to keep you ‘safe’ from anything that might occur in the future, or some other situation where they ‘know best’ and act ‘in your best interests’.

        I don’t have the wit or imagination to go any further, plus I’m on the Bourbon (no work tomorrow), but you see how easily the government behavioural scientists can begin to boil the frogs?

        • GreenAlba June 9, 2021 at 1:37 pm #

          I totally take your point about potential mission creep, in terms of the passes, Slugoon.

          You know that I oppose any kind of domestic vaxx pass. I just don’t know how you sort out the international aspect of it. That’s how the thing got here in the first place and has spread to countries that don’t have a sufficiently robust health service to be able to deal with the situation they’re gifted.

          • Slugoon June 9, 2021 at 1:49 pm #

            That may well be all there is to it, only time will tell. The EU pass is time-limited but based on what has happened over the past fifteen months would you bet your flat on it being withdrawn on schedule, or at all?!

          • GreenAlba June 9, 2021 at 2:10 pm #

        New passports (also US driver’s licenses) have a chip, so any time you pass a border you will be digitally logged (probably via the chip they can bring up a webpage of your data on their screens as passport control. I’m sure that EU passports also have chips.

        Driver’s licenses are now domestic IDs—which I thought were unconstitutional or something—so that chip will track youi domestically (if you ever show the ID). Plus tracked via smartphones.

        So the vaxx passport does seem to be redundant—except for what is in the vaxx. Which is going to be on the database. Who knows what the relevance of that info will turn out to be? We can only imagine, and shudder.

        How this will work with the unvaxxed and only tested—and how the tests must be done, and how expensive this will be—is another question.

        • Slugoon June 10, 2021 at 1:28 am #

          The key to having a new card might be the Q code, the ease of implementation and the ability of the authorities to market it as an insignificant bit of plastic. Of course passports already track people’s cross-border movements but that’s is all and it would be very difficult to convince people why they need to carry their passport for other purposes.

          A new vax card though, the opportunities are endless since anybody with a smart phone can scan one). If you can get 80% of the population to carry one ‘just for twelve months’ to ‘help keep them safe’ you may find the twelve months get extended due to ‘variants’ or whatever other excuse can be thought of. Before long, people are conditioned to carrying this card with its use normalised by an increasing number of businesses (‘for your safety’ of course).

          That mitht be why they want all children vaccinated. You have to get the whole population on board with such a card system for it to work and mass vaccination citing a ‘health threat’ is the easiest way to do it even though it blatantly isn’t a threat to most people.

    An annular eclipse can only occur under specific conditions, NASA says. The moon must be in its first lunar phase, and it must also be farther away from Earth in its elliptical orbit, appearing smaller in the sky than it usually would. 
    Because the moon appears smaller under these circumstances, it cannot fully block out the sun, forming what’s called a “ring of fire” or “ring of light.”

    I love seeing so many whistleblowers coming forth.

    “Jennifer Bridges, a nurse at Houston Methodist Hospital, has come forward with more information about her employer’s criminal attempts at suppressing the truth about the dangers of Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccines.

    Bridges told Del Bigtree during a recent episode of The Highwire that she and her coworkers at Houston Methodist are now forbidden from logging any adverse reactions to Chinese Virus injections on the company’s official records.

    “Every time a nurse or another employee comes out with an adverse reaction, they basically tell them in the ER … ‘No, it’s not an adverse reaction. This is just an intolerance.’ And they don’t report it properly and they don’t address it properly,” Bridges explained.

    “And I’ve actually been in contact with somebody in the hospital system that deals with, like, the charting and the finalization of people’s charts … They have told me that officially Methodist has told them, ‘Do not list any adverse reactions on anybody’s chart related to the vaccine.’”

    Houston Methodist was also in the news recently for a lawsuit that was filed by at least 112 of its employees who say they are being unlawfully coerced and threatened into getting jabbed as a condition of employment.”

    Good Queen Mary,

    I have been speculating a rather slow, serene Summer ’21 with NASCAR and Alice Cooper concerts. A final hurrah of “normal” before they roll out their new product in the Fall.

    I read upthread that you are picking up very different signals and that this Summer will be a Shit Show. Can you please elaborate?

    • MaryQueen June 9, 2021 at 12:48 pm #

      Well, I have seen some people speculating that given so many people now have died (in the thousands) from the vaccines, they won’t be able to hide it soon.

      Can you imagine the uproar if people start to wake up? And they will – because you can only go so far with self-deception before the cognitive dissonance kicks your ass. Can you imagine what people will do when they figure out they have been tricked into maiming and sterilizing or even killing their own children, not to mention talking friends and family into getting the jab then losing them? Over a virus with a less than 1% chance of even catching much less dying from?

      At some point something’s gotta give. Many don’t think that it will take another 3-4 months for the corpses from the vaccines to pile high, and questions start being asked. Can you also imagine what would happen if the majority stopped trusting the government or the media – at all?

      If this begins to happen, that’s when they may try to pull an alien invasion hoax or somesuch. Maybe another 9/11-styled FF to scare people back into line.

        Maybe you have more faith in the cognitive abilities of people – or at least westerners/Americans – than I do.

        Those who have swallowed the official story will continue swallowing it even as cognitive dissonance builds up. Hook, line, sinker – rod, reel, and fishing license. They are too deeply invested to turn back now. And too angry with you deniers to ever agree with you again.

        How many friends have you had who should have gotten divorced but, “We have so much time invested…”? Or whose kids after their 24 month vaccination spiked a 106 degree fever and afterwards found themselves on the “autism spectrum” but mama and daddy swear the vaccines had nothing to do with it? In their eyes, it’s always somebody else’s fault – probably yours – but never the authorities they “trust” nor themselves.

        • GreenAlba June 9, 2021 at 2:01 pm #

          I got diddly in terms of reactions to the vaxx, Blackbird, but if I decide in due course that I don’t want a booster I won’t have one.

          People on both sides are far too fond of thinking they know what everyone thinks.

          • GreenAlba June 9, 2021 at 2:04 pm #

            Of course the other narrative is that we won’t need boosters because ‘it’ll be over by Christmas’.

            I’d say all those who think that should be finding a niche opportunity in shovels and maybe funeral pyre kits (individual and communal) because those bodies ain’t gonna bury themselves when half the gravediggers have expired.

          • Blackbird June 9, 2021 at 4:48 pm #

            “People on both sides are far too fond of thinking they know what everyone thinks.” Yup.

            If I’ve been reading your comments correctly, you are gathering your own information, evaluating it yourself, and making your own decisions, rather than trusting some authority figure. In my opinion, that is what any rational person would do. Unfortunately I and other (obviously somewhat less-) rational people will still end up disagreeing. I’m not trying to recruit anyone to “my side”, and I resent anyone who says I have to accept what they have accepted. I don’t mind having an honest discussion about a contentious issue, but those seem increasingly difficult to find these days. I would rather disagree civilly than be forced to agree.

            By the way, those “invested” people I mentioned are friends of mine, not some imaginary, generalized, pro-vax strawfamilies. Politically, they are polar opposites, and yet they share a common human trait in that they are more likely to stay the course than admit they made a mistake and change course. My comment was more generally in regard to this unwillingness to re-evaluate one’s position that I see as such an obstacle to a rational assessment, rather than a Covid-specific issue.

            In regard to Covid-specific issues, I hope you made the/a correct decision.

          Talk about people acting stupidly because they have “too much invested”! When are you conspiracy junkies going to give up all the stuff that has been debunked – rather than keep claiming that the debunking itself is part of the Great Deception?

          I would expect nothing better from that village idiot from Saskatchewan, but when are others going to let go disproved tropes like “childhood vaccination causes autism”?

            This TruStory bears repeating:

            My son’s best friend’s older brother was autistic and that caused much damage in many lives. The boy’s mother & father are super-religious. The mother told me of James being a 100% normal little boy until they jabbed him. She is his mother. She knows.

            I have no doubt that she was telling me The Truth of what had happened to James a dozen years earlier. None whatsoever.

          The boy most likely would have contracted autism in any case. There are very few control groups, but it is the case that children who were not vaccination (anti-vax parents) have still developed autism.

            “My nephew started a fire with a lighter. Therefore matches don’t start fires.”

            Mary Lynne & Richard had 5 of her own and plus they took in all sorts of foster kids. Mary Lynne knew kids and she knows what James was like before his jab and after it. She has absolutely know doubt and, knowing her well, I Believe her. She knows what happened to her son, Josie.

            RFK, Jr. posted a study that proved vaxxed kids are way less healthy than non-vaxxed.

            It is the only comprehensive study actually done about it, because of course big pharma would never touch that.

      • Islander June 9, 2021 at 6:25 pm #

        I think the issue with jabbing kids might be the tinder.

        I am so sad that my beloved nephew got the jab and has had his two sons jabbed—one of whom I am also very fond of

        Mom is a mass of fear (although I think she used to be somewhat anti-vaxx). I went up to their house to help my nephew with some info, and he came outside and we sat on the porch (fortunately, a nice porch!!). The wife was a vaguely moving shadow inside. Didn’t come out to say hello. She won’t allow me in the house because I haven’t been jabbed.

        In our smallish community no one has died of covid-19. but the Karens are out, also busy in the comments sections of newspapers, and the propaganda is thick as mayonnaise, everywhere.

        What will it take to break the trance and bring the hysterical to their senses? Maybe a few unexplained illnesses and deaths in the community among the young. Autopsies must be done!

        Great news show yesterday (well, depressing, but the presenters are very low-key and intelligent) at UK Column with Brian Gerrish and David Scott—both heroes, both very good at cutting through the BS and doublespeak. I am also a great fan of David Scott, of Northern Exposure (featured on some of the the UK Column news shows).

        What is going on in the UK is terrifying—worse than in the US, IMO. I speculate that that is because the UK is Ground Zero of the gang that is running this show, from the City and MI6.

        If proximity is relevant in Wuhan, I think it is also relevant in the UK!! Boris Johnson has made a truly chilling statement as to what is on the agenda, international control-wise, at the G7 meeting this weekend. It feels like they are really closing in on us, the people of planet Earth.

    • O.G. Hawkins June 9, 2021 at 1:27 pm #

      Hey Slugger,

      Thank you for doing this. I Truly am for Science and my thoughts, hypothesis and theories evolve with proven matters.

      Unfortunately, my ancient iPad 2.0 cannot see what you have pointed me to but I do Believe you. I did before but proof is always Better so thank you for that.

      Having said that, I do have some thoughts …

      1) “The G was pretty intense.” Was it exactly 1G? Was it intense or is that sarcasm?
      2) How many Gs did WTC1, WTC2 & the Pentagram direct hits each endure?
      3) Did you perform your simulation over Lower Manhattan’s skyline? [DC has no skyline. You can’t build taller than the Washington Monument in DC. Some sort of Illuminati rule.]

      ——-

      Let’s take 2 steps back now, Slugger. You do understand that Philip F Zelikow’s Official Report all must make sense while none of it does, Right?

      The fact that a commercial airline pilot believes that he could have performed these maneuvers by simulating with the Wrong airliner (I Believe that they were Boeings, no?) hardly proves that cocaine-snorting, strip club-frequenting suicide-for-Allah jihadis could go 3-for-3 that day. Right?

      Then there’s the inexplicable bull shit from the NYSE that they could not identify who made millions in unprecedented airline stock short-selling on Monday, Sept. 10, 2001.

      There’s Donald Rumsfeld’s $2.2T MIA disclosure at the Pentagram that same last final “The World had changed forever” day.

      Mayor Rudy Guilliani was warned that WTC7 would collapse even though it was not hit by an airplane, had only localized office furniture fires and, in 160 years of steel-structured buildings, none had done so before or since.

      BBC reported WTC7’s collapse with the building standing there in view behind the reporter. 20 minutes later it collapsed at free-fall (i.e. no resistance) for 2.5 seconds and neatly imploded into its own footprint.

      NORAD stood down on account of confusion vis-a-vis the close to 2 dozen “tests” being conducted That Tuesday by NORAD, US Air Force, FEMA, NYC Port Authority et al.

      Secret Service left POTUS a sitting duck at a pre-announced public appearance location (Florida school) with My Pet Goat out of fear of “scaring the children” that might be caused by immediately getting him to safety with God-knows-how-many hi-jacked planes in the air. I shit you not.

      The dancing Israeli art students.

      And on and on and on and on and on and on. Philip F Zelikow is corrupt. We all know that.

      The evidence is overwhelming, Slugger. Thousands of Architects & Engineers have signed their names, at Great risk to their very own careers, claiming we witnessed 3 controlled demolitions That Tuesday.

      Your ability to hit a WTC Tower with an Airbus is an interesting tidbit but it hardly disproves what obviously happened That Tuesday.

          • Slugoon June 9, 2021 at 2:09 pm #

            It wasn’t a simulation. It was just the ground plot of my flight last week with a (gasp) turn. The moment has passed though, OG, time to move on, but to answer:

            1) sarcasm
            2) in the turn, barely above 1.0
            3) no, the Merseyside skyline, infinitely more hostile, dodging the Scouse laser pens

            You can move on from the NYSE lying to us and saying that they could not identify the profiteers of the off-the-charts airline stock short-selling on Monday September 10, 2001 if you so choose, Slugger.

          • Slugoon June 9, 2021 at 4:59 pm #

            Maybe they could identify them, maybe they couldn’t. What’s your point?

          • O.G. Hawkins June 9, 2021 at 8:15 pm #

            Maybe they could identify (of course they can!) the people with the inside information that made millions shorting airline stocks with their inside knowledge of the impending terror attacks and you ask me my point? Surely you jest!

    Irony – she ended up dating Black guy from the show. I assumed that he was just another slick insider, but as Anglin said, he didn’t have to defend her and ask for some grace to be extended to her. She needed it: the System certainly isn’t going to. As the Maoists said, one misstep by anyone and you ruin three generations of their family. Thus they started examining the voting record of her family.

    So good on Chris. He hired a lawyer and walked away with an eight figure settlement.

    They have the perfect Maoist enforcers in Blacks. The Black contestant cried out, as a Black women, that grace should be mine. Inferiors are always utterly ruthless to their superiors once empowered. Nice doctrine of grace there. If one has it, the other doesn’t.

    I just did a casual on-line search on architects who believe in 9/11 building demolition theories. It seems there’s one splinter group, Architects and Engineers For 9/11 Truth which proposes this.

    According to statistics, there’s currently around 115,000 architects in the US. Over the last decade, the number of architects grew by 13%, which means there was around 100,000 architects at the time AE9/11 was founded. Their own website claims there are 3,000 architects who signed a paper stating their belief in demolition.

    If one looks at the numbers, one can discern that 3000/100,000 is only 3% of architects who believe in, or in other words, 97% of all architects didn’t think enough of this claim to support it. Hardly a ringing endorsement. Actually, the believer percentages are really lower than 3% because the AE9/11 group’s 3000 signatories also included architects from the UK and Australia, not just the US.

    In the USSR’s heyday Communist party candidates routinely won with a declared 97% of the vote. Even they acknowledged there’s always a 3% dissident minority.

          Try on some critical thinking, Bill.

          3% succeeded in the American Revolution. Yoho’s feelz on Right or Wrong are irrelevent to this discussion.

          The point is, do you know how hard it is to become an architect or an engineer? And then to build a career in those long-hour, high-paying conservative fields?

          You act surprised that there are only 3,000+ professionals with the balls to sign their name that Dick Cheney is a War Criminal when clearly the opposite is warranted for those seeking The Truth.

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder June 9, 2021 at 1:05 pm #

      Bill, you’re missing a big part of the puzzle as you do your research.

      Do you think it’s possible that most of those other architects don’t say anything about it out of self-preservation? Speak out on something that goes against the grain (especially when you have no official reason to do so), you’re a nutjob…subject to ridicule and loss of employment.

      For example, I express about one third of the opinions I do here to my friends and family. I express exactly none of my opinions to clients and co-workers. Ever. See the difference?

      100% of doctors will tell you smoking is bad, but a surprisingly large percentage of them still do it anyway, privately, out back. But there’s a real disincentive for them to come out and say, “you know, it does calm me down.”

      • beantownbill. June 9, 2021 at 2:16 pm #

        Where’s the evidence this is so? What about architects who’ve changed their minds since? What about those who signed that had pressure to do so (example: their boss believed and either forced an employee or the employee thought it wise to sign)? See, you can only go by the stated numbers, not make an assumption about motives of people who you don’t know.

        That’s what sets apart critical thinkers from others: Others make assumptions they can’t factually back up. If you wrote that’s your opinion instead of declaring I missed something as if it was a fact, then I would be ok with it.

        • O.G. Hawkins June 9, 2021 at 2:32 pm #

          Hahaha. Thanks Bill. I needed a chuckle.

          Right, those 3,000+ architects & engineers were pressured by their boss to sign their name as the company was looking to go against The Powers That Be in an extremely unorthodox approach to Capitalism.

          Critical thinking you call that, eh?

        • Night Owl June 9, 2021 at 3:17 pm #

          That isn’t the definition of critical thinking. Assumptions are made all of the time when critically thinking. You have to put the known facts, circumstantial evidence, and assumptions together to come up with a composite idea or ideas of what is going on.

          Sitting on the fence because you do not have requisite evidence to definitively prove something one way or the other is not critical thinking.

          Furthermore, you have already completely collapsed on the issue. You were asked earlier to discuss the PCR test, which is provably unreliable for testing as stated by its creator and numerous medical professionals including Wolfgang Wodarg and Luc Montagnier, the man who literally discovered HIV. Yet you believe the official case numbers.

          You are no critical thinker. You are a milquetoast fence-sitter who enjoys the idea of being a sort of neutral, objective third party who expresses opinions approved by one of the two political herds.

          In today’s world of cancellation for a single tweet now suddenly deemed offensive or crazy, I would suggest that the evidence abounds that most people mid-career are not eager to voice their opinions on anything unless it’s the company line.

          It’s not just architects, btw. There are engineers, demolitions specialists, military personnel and more that have gone on record to say the official explanation not only doesn’t make sense, but is impossible as laid out “officially”.

          These things happen all the time, a situation is a hot potato, then you ridicule those calling you out, then time passes, then the general public ceases to give a shit. It becomes old news, and they skate away with a slight blemish. From “Remember The Maine” on, time erases the public’s memory, as “that was then, time to move on already”…and those in power know this.

          The Dutch bomb expert, Dan something, suddenly died mysteriously after providing very solid info in a video online. I can’t recall his last name.

          • Islander June 9, 2021 at 8:45 pm #

            The Dutch bomb or explosives expert, Dan Something, was giving his analysis of what happened on 9/11.

            His video was itself quite explosive.

            Then he was dead.

            Similarly many who had stories to tell and affidavits to sign regarding Dallas 1963 suddenly died of heart attacks or suicidal attacks.

          • MaryQueen June 9, 2021 at 10:29 pm #

BTW, I also replied directly to Mr. M, but I like him, so I’ll continue. I always realized that many people know very little about critical thinking, but I have to admit I am surprised at how many here are so fixated on their own ideas and unwilling to consider alternative evidence. I read somewhere that intelligence doesn’t have much to do with critical thinking. Bottom line: We are going to Hell faster than we have to because of this (and I don’t mean that literally in a religious sense).

            But that is 1, minor, insignificant detail vis-a-vis That Tuesday.

            Let me reiterate something, OG, regarding this ‘evidence’ that I’m apparently not presenting. I’m not trying to disprove anything to you. I’ve got an open mind as to whether it was an inside job. My position is that it wasn’t, on balance, but you can quit citing the lack of evidence thing.

            I’m just pleased you at least accept that flying a jet into a large target does not itself make a very strong case for the theory.

            Big balls are not required for piloting a plane. Big balls would be required for killing yourself along with hundreds of others for a religious/political cause. The jihadis are certainly not testicularly challenged.

            … or so you’ve been told, Slugger. Big balls and hated you because of your Freedom …. and cocaine & Florida strippers.

            Remember when Josephine Alexandria insisted that the “Let’s roll!” plane that went down near Shanksville was targetting the US Cital Bldg in DC?

            I asked her how she could possibly know such a thing.

            … crickets …

            Then she stopped talking to me. She smashed her ice cream cake onto the floor because she wanted the unicorn in the middle.

            That was not my interpretation at all. The point is a question of proportionality, and percentages, and accurate information. People avoid the math in order to spin an argument.

            If you trumpet “3000 Architects & Engineers Believe the WTC was a Planned Demolition”, you might say, “Wow – must be true!”. Or you could say, “Over 97% of Architects & Engineers did not sign on to the Planned Demolition Claims Regarding 9/11”.

            Quite a bit different, eh?

            There are two other similar pieces of spin-doctor voodoo in this thread: (1) 1,250 cases of election fraud (out of how many votes cast – not told), and (2) 4,200 deaths after the Covid-19 vaccination (out of how many vaccinated – not told).

            It’s particularly problematic in respect of Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) – if you go either greenie sites of AGW-denying sites, people link to all manner of scientists who they believe support their argument.

    Covid Disinformation & Media Suppression of Experts’ Warnings Give Creditility to Conspiracy Theories

    Paul Craig Roberts

    Ask yourself why public health authorities would suppress this information:

    https://www.lewrockwell.com/2021/06/no_author/we-made-a-big-mistake-covid-vaccine-spike-protein-travels-from-injection-site-can-cause-organ-damage/

    Or this information:

    https://www.revolver.news/2021/06/revolver-part-one-covid-vaers-deaths-cover-up/

    https://www.revolver.news/2021/06/revolver-investigation-part-two-covid-vaers-deaths-cover-up/

    Why would Big Pharma hire “fact checkers” to discredit safe successful treatment of Covid with HCQ and Ivermectin? Both have been used for decades. They are so safe that in civilized countries not controlled by Big Pharma and their medical bureaucrats, the drugs are available over the counter. In Africa HCQ is known as “Sunday medicine.” In malaria areas it is taken every Sunday by everyone.  Yet American public health authorities and their shills said you would have a heart attack if you took it, and a majority of American doctors fell for the obvious lie.

    American Covid deaths are due entirely to public health authorities banning treatment with the two safe known cures.

    It seems they wanted the deaths for the fear factor. It drove people to line up for the vaccine. Did you notice that instead of calming public fears, the authorities elevated fear? Fear produces irrationality and panic, which normally public authorities do not want. But for the “Covid pandemic” they did want fear and panic.

    Why do you think they generated fear and withheld known safe treatments? Is Fauci simply incompetent, or is he a highly rewarded tool of a hidden agenda?

    James Howard Kunstler tells us that all is not well: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2021/06/james-howard-kunstler/what-if-the-big-lie-is-the-big-lie/ 

    • O.G. Hawkins June 9, 2021 at 6:15 pm #

      And that little rat Fauci was on NBC w/ Lester Holt last night warning of the danger of the Delta Variant out of India. That Delta Variant may become the predominant strain in the USA he warned us.

      The Delta Variant

      It sounds like a late ’70s screen-play written for Chuck Heston but he’s like, “Enough Soylent Green flicks already!” But production is Ready to roll so they’re going ahead on sched with either Starsky or Hutch. Doesn’t matter which one – either one will do.

    • Islander June 9, 2021 at 6:39 pm #

      “It seems they wanted the deaths for the fear factor. ”

      That, but also the emergency authorization is conditioned on there not being any available treatment.

      That is why an EA is generally seen in the context of, say, an untreatable cancer. For example, my cousin had a rare form of leukemia. she had the Philadelphia gene or whatever it is called, and they were unable to find a match worldwide. Her husband was a doc, and he was able to get into a clinical trial to try out a new medication—because her cancer was terminal anyhow. So, it is a way, almost, of donating your body to science —and, the treatment might work!

      This is NOT the situ with these jabs. There are other treatments. But in order to assert the opposite, it is necessary to suppress info about the treatments that have been shown by empirical medicine to work.

      Thus, healthy people who are not on a one-way street to early death from a terminal disease are being treated as though they were. In fact they are participating in clinical trials of a new therapy—one that isn’t even needed.

      I’m afraid that for most people (unlike most here) who have been chuggalugging medical propaganda for over a year, grasping any of the nuances of this situation will be a major mental challenge.

    VACCINE DEATH TOLL – RISK GREATER THAN COVID FOR MOST, MANIPULATED DATA, ILLEGAL TRACKING OF VACCINATED, PROPAGANDA, COVID FASCISTS REVEALED

    Up to 28th May in the UK there have now been 1,227 deaths of those vaccinated. With 40m having been given at least one vaccine (up to that date) – that is one death in every 32,000 vaccinated individuals which means that for anyone under 50 the chances of dying from the vaccine are worse than dying from catching COVID itself.

    For the over a thousand vaccinated people who developed COVID after the vaccine the death rates (for the Pfizer 6.5% and for the Astra Zenecca 6.83%) were more than twice the level of deaths from COVID generally (2.8%)

        I understand that it is beyond banal to draw parallels with ‘1984’

        As I have been repeatedly expressing, the proles have been successfully programmed by the electronic audio/visual screens.

        Pocket screens, tabletop screens, wall-mounted screens.

        They all repeat the same.

        Orwell had a wide assortment of pithy names and terms for the irony and the assertive hypocrisy.

        In a world of programmed, or “brainwashed”, the resistance, the free-thinkers are chained to this insult.

        I come here from an era where people questioned herd mentality, and particularly the herd mentality fostered by authority.

        That has vanished.

        I suppose this aging cohort sees no benefit in resisting.
        They understand they are powerless, lack any agency, and are very much wedded to preservation of order.

        Perhaps even when realizing that order, like so many of Orwell’s aforementioned portmanteaus, leads to

        a new order

      More sustainable future?

      Our Governor is saying the State will be done with fossil fuels and nuclear power by 2030, at which time Renewables will be at the forefront. That’s 8.5 years from now. I did some ciphering. It will take about 27,000 wind turbines running balls to the wall 24/7 to meet the power demands of Ct right now, maybe 32,000 by 2030. As of this week we have 3 wind turbines that are online and producing electricity. That means 24,997 windmills need to be approved, sited, built and hooked into the grid, which has to be rebuilt too. The thing is, I don’t see any construction of wind turbines going on around here at all. For those 3 turbines that do exist, 2 of which are in Colebrook, it took almost a decade for those monstrosities to get licensed and constructed. Our nuke plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in a few years, I’d say they better get crackin’ on those wind turbines or else we’ll be living in the dark and maybe liking it, to paraphrase Klaus Schwab.

      Unless this whole Renewable/Green Energy meme is just another PR grift for who knows what reason.

        Heckler, you assume needed wind-mills ceteris paribus. I keep telling you to chop CT pop. in half and then in half again. All of a sudden, you only need 6,750 wind-mills. Now, if the remaining 25% population each cut their consumption in half and then in half again, well then, all of a sudden, you’re down to 1,688 (round up – you can’t have half a wind-mill).

    tekapo:

    In other words, the six states that flipped to Biden in 2020 either already had extensive mail-in voting from 2016, or they didn’t change their system much between 2016 and 2020.

    That mail-in voting leads to more electoral fraud is a myth.

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

    so giving people NINE extra days to get in votes, NIL chain of custody for 80 million ballots, NO signature verification in numerous instances, STOPPING COUNTING (didn~t happen in 2016!) is not ~much change~ in ~voting systems~

    how about putting cardboard over the windows where votes are to be OBSERVED DURING COUNTING

    dolt

    • Tekapo June 9, 2021 at 9:43 pm #

      You’re going massive strawman all over the place.

      You know very well that In saying “they didn’t change their system much” I was referring specifically to the issue of increasing mail-in ballots, and in particular the practice of suddenly mailing ballots to every registered voter.

      I don’t agree that that should have happened hastily either – even in the context of the pandemic. I think sending a ballot to everyone who requested one (no reason needed) would have been adequate.

      I was very specific in my comments because I checked the figures – you can too. In the five states (not six – Clinton won Nevada in 2016) that Trump won in 2016 and Biden won in 2020, there was no significant increase in mail-in voting.

      And BTW the “80 million” figure is also a myth that Trump started … it was more like 42 million increase over the 2016 cycle. And nearly all of those were in states that were solidly red or blue, and were never going to flip.

      Giving extra time for ballots to arrive was a direct response to USPS sabotage. Do you actually want people to be disenfranchised?

      I don’t know about signature verification lapses, but the numbers would be small. There were no systematic stoppages in the count – it’s a debunked myth. The cardboard was put up to shut out the intimidating image of the angry crowd outside the counting facility.

      Every arm-waving conspiracy theory can be easily explained … you do not need a “Big Steal” to explain any of them. Let’s see what Arizona coughs up 🙂

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder June 10, 2021 at 9:15 am #

        Um, funny that you call him out for responding to your strawman creation. I pointed out before that no one was talking about 2016 vs 2020, then you equated that to the argument at hand.

        The argument was “there was some bullshit that took place in 2020”. Your response was “none of the states in question states saw an overall resulting change in outcome from 2016 to 2020, so nothing must have happened worth noting in 2020”.

        Therefore, Man, thy name is Straw.

        Giving extra time for ballots to arrive was a direct response to USPS sabotage. Do you actually want people to be disenfranchised?

        Aren’t you the one who was saying there was no way that mail-in voting could open the door to fraud? Create USPS sabotage (or the appearance of it) and now you get to change the rest of the rules, with no visible chain of custody. Result: potential for easy fraud.

        Sigh. Dunk.

        It was literally recorded as taking place by every media outlet, mainstream or alternative.

        The cardboard was put up to shut out the intimidating image of the angry crowd outside the counting facility.

        So…that would make it…okay, then? Even Plato couldn’t wrap his head around that kind of logic. The rules were that people were allowed to observe – they were not allowed to observe, and blatantly at that.

        Secondly, you literally just made that “angry mob” up as a (per usual, disingenuous) justification, after the fact. They only became angry after they were denied their rightful access to observation. Even then, it’s not as if they were wielding torches and spears. They were consternated, as they should have been.

    Would a “Free” people “educate” their kids in buildings that look like an “Insecticide Factory”, in the words of JHK? (This is a rhetorical question.).

    I like the Ancient Greek and Roman Stoics. Apparently, the Stoics stressed the importance of looking at something or someone and then objectively, dispassionately asking: “What does that look like?”

    Do you remember the scene in the Woody Allen movie “Crimes and Misdemeanors” in which the character played by Woody Allen tells his young niece after emerging from the movie theater: “Here’s your lesson for today: Don’t listen to what your teachers tell you in school. Just observe what they look like and then you will know what Life is like.”

    «The concept of envy—the hatred of the superior—has dropped out of our moral vocabulary…The idea that White Christian civilization is hated more for its virtues than its sins doesn’t occur to us, because it’s not a nice idea…Western man towers over the rest of the world in ways so large as to be almost inexpressible. It’s Western exploration, science, and conquest that have revealed the world to itself. Other races feel like subjects of Western power long after colonialism, imperialism, and slavery have disappeared. The charge of racism puzzles Whites who feel not hostility, but only baffled goodwill, because they don’t grasp what it really means: humiliation. The White man presents an image of superiority even when he isn’t conscious of it. And, superiority excites envy. Destroying White civilization is the inmost desire of the league of designated victims we call minorities.»

      Theres some truth here. A lot of truth in the envy aspect of white-hate.

      But, one of the biggest problems is this: “whites” (first-worlders, whatever) invite INVITE others in and make promises… “you can share in this great society. You can and should embrace liberal democracy and share in all these good things depicted in hollywood films…”

      And these invitations and promises are lies in every way, traps to suck suckers into the system, to get new blood to feed the beast essentially.

      So “hatred of whitey” is not all envy. Some of it is envy. Some is confusion. And some is righteous anger at false promises made, and an ultimate hollowness to this sparkly but more often false than not “white world”

        Well yes! That’s the import of the quote. Stop telling others that they can be us – they can’t. And stop being ashamed of being who you are, collectively. Our Tradition is second to none.

        And yes, it’s not for everyone, nor should it be. I heard the Chinese obsession with us is so great that they built a replica Swiss Village. There’s all kind of things like that. They gave up their own ways of dressing and architecture, etc. Why? Their IQ’s are higher than ours. There was no need of that except cultural dominance via Communism and now, Capitalism.

    Maybe a little bit off-topic, but referencing the earlier Britney Spears discussion, her Mickey Mouse Club playmate Natalie Portman turns 40 today. Johnny Depp turns 58. I used to be quite impressed by the acting skills of both. The more I hear from them, the less impressed I am with them as people.

    Portman, protesting at last year’s Academy Awards against the lack of female nominees for Best Director, had the names of “all of the female directors who weren’t nominated for Oscars” embroidered onto her Dior cape. At the time, Portman’s production company, Handsome Charlie Films, employed exactly one female director – Portman. In 2009, she signed a petition for the release of Roman Polanski who had been arrested in Zurich in what turned out to be a failed extradition attempt. After getting some heat for her decision, she said that she regretted it, and that she had signed the petition only because someone she trusted suggested she should.

    Depp? Charlie Sheen trying to play Hunter S. Thompson. Highest paid actor at one point but can’t pay his multi-million dollar wine bill. His financial success with Pirates of the Caribbean allowed him to quit acting (now he puts on eye-liner and calls it acting) and just live a life of out-of-control self-indulgence.

    If either decide to return to acting (rather than mind control and mind-out-of-control, as currently employed) I might take a look, based on previous experience. It’s rare that anything out of Hollywood catches my attention (in a positive way) anymore. Propaganda and personality. The more you “know” about an artist, the harder it is to separate that from their art.

    “ COVID-19 Vaccine Trials Were Rigged While vaccine makers insist that any vaccine reaching the market will have undergone rigorous testing, the design of the trial protocols clearly demonstrates the abandonment of virtually any attempt to confirm human safety.

    The vaccines received a passing grade even if their efficacy for preventing infection was nonexistent. Preventing infection wasn’t even a criterion for a successful COVID-19 vaccine. The only criterion of success was a reduction of moderate to severe COVID-19 symptoms, and even then the reduction required was minimal.

    In a September 2020 Forbes article, William Haseltine highlighted the questionable end points of these trials: “We all expect an effective vaccine to prevent serious illness if infected. Three of the vaccine protocols—Moderna, Pfizer, and AstraZeneca—do not require that their vaccine prevent serious disease only that they prevent moderate symptoms which may be as mild as cough, or headache.”32 To get a “passing” grade in the limited interim analysis, a vaccine needed to show a 70 percent efficacy. However, this does not mean it will prevent infection in 7 of 10 people.

    As explained by Haseltine: “For Moderna, the initial interim analysis will be based on the results of infection of only 53 people. The judgment reached in interim analysis is dependent upon the difference in the number of people with symptoms … in the vaccinated group versus the unvaccinated group. Moderna’s success margin is for 13 or less of those 53 to develop symptoms compared to 40 or more in their control group.”

    The other vaccine makers based their results on a similar protocol, where only a limited number of vaccinated participants are exposed to the virus to evaluate the extent of their moderate to severe COVID-19 symptoms. As if that’s not eyebrow-raising enough, the minimum qualification for a “case of COVID-19” amounts to just one positive PCR test and one or two mild symptoms, such as headache, fever, cough, or mild nausea.

    Basically, all they’re doing is seeing if the COVID-19 vaccines minimize common cold symptoms. There’s no telling whether they will ultimately prevent hospitalizations and deaths. In fact, none of the trials included failure to prevent hospitalization or death as a measure of success. Johnson & Johnson’s trial is the only one that requires at least five severe COVID-19 cases to be included in the interim analysis.

    Common sense dictates that if the vaccines cannot prevent or reduce infection and transmission, hospitalization, or death, then they cannot possibly end the pandemic.”

Three of the vaccine protocols—Moderna, Pfizer, and AstraZeneca—do not require that their vaccine prevent serious disease only that they prevent moderate symptoms which may be as mild as cough, or headache.”

      Is this getting a bit dated? Since September 2020 haven’t there been thousands – millions – of trouble-free vaccinations in many parts of the world? There must be quite solid data emerging now on whether the vaccinated are in fact catching (or re-catching) Covid-19, and if so, under what conditions.

      And if the vaccinated are catching it, at what rates, and how are their symptoms – are they presenting differently at clinics and hospitals?

      • Slugoon June 10, 2021 at 1:55 am #

        Not necessarily. Last year we had a six-month stretch after the first wave where death rates were the same as any other year. No vaccinations around then.

        In the UK we’ve only had significant numbers vaxxed since Q2 this year. Even if they are effective I don’t think we’re going to know until this coming winter. That will be the test, the normal flu season.

          I’m not a doctor, but how do you test for antibodies, and don’t they only remain for a few months? I saw a doctor interviewed and he had contracted Covid-19 around October … he is now not registering, and has had the vaccine.

          I confess I am allergic to all conspiracy theories (as you well know), but I find this whole episode since Jan 2020 deeply puzzling – on about a hundred different levels.

          • Slugoon June 10, 2021 at 3:30 am #

            With an antibody test? I believe it’s done automatically if you give blood in the UK but you can go get one done. Who knows how long it lasts for. Who knows how long the vaccine works for.

            So the doctor has had both the virus and the vaccine and still shows no antibodies? I’m not surprised.

            I don’t think the vaccines are going to be truly put to the test until winter. We’re having the usual summer lull now and natural immunity has to count for something.

            Puzzling in which ways?

    They’re probably getting ready to clobber us with a mutant virus and pull one of their other plethora of weaponized viruses off the shelf? Apparently, the Wuhan Institute of Virology has an inventory of hundreds of thousands of viruses. The Bat Lady, Shi Zhengli, said that she has only 500 different bat coronaviruses that can jump to humans.

    “ Vaccinations Have Worsened Pandemic Illness in the Past

    The idea that the COVID-19 vaccine might worsen illness is primarily based on the factors reviewed earlier in this chapter, such as the risk of antibody- dependent immune enhancement.

    But we can also look to previous vaccination campaigns. There are many studies showing that the seasonal influenza vaccine can actually increase your risk of pandemic influenza, for example. Research raising serious questions about annual flu shots and their impact on pandemic viral illnesses include a 2010 review in PLoS Medicine, which found receiving the seasonal flu vaccine increased people’s risk of getting sick with pandemic H1N1 swine flu, and resulted in more serious complications.33 People who received the trivalent influenza vaccine during the 2008–09 flu season were between 1.4 and 2.5 times more likely to get infected with pandemic H1N1 in the spring and summer of 2009 than those who did not get the seasonal flu vaccine.

    The findings were confirmed by the team in a study done on ferrets. MedPage Today quoted Dr. Danuta Skowronski, a Canadian influenza expert with the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control: “There may be a direct vaccine effect in which the seasonal vaccine induced some cross-reactive antibodies that recognized pandemic H1N1 virus, but those antibodies were at low levels and were not effective at neutralizing the virus.

    Instead of killing the new virus it actually may facilitate its entry into the cells.”34 In all, five other observational studies conducted across several Canadian provinces found identical results. These findings also confirmed preliminary data from Canada and Hong Kong.

    As Professor Peter Collignon, an Australian infectious disease expert, told ABC News at the time: “We may be perversely setting ourselves up that if something really new and nasty comes along, that people who have been vaccinated may in fact be more susceptible compared to getting this natural infection.”35

      Mike Adams posted an interesting analysis the other day regarding potential socio-political implications in the US if the worst case scenarios with the vaxx spike proteins become reality.

      The worse-case scenario would be if 64% of normal sensible Americans started to believe the utter nutfudge of ultra wingnuts like Mike Adams. I can’t believe anybody can link to these grifting frauds … are you also being paid off?

      • SoftStarLight June 10, 2021 at 10:12 am #

Please do provide more info on exactly the circumstances which have led Mike Adams to IYO be a grifting fraud. And the other thing is. Even in a theoretical sense, it is interesting that you have zero capability to entertain possibilities outside the realm of your own ideas. Almost like you are programmed.

          And who are “they”, what is the chain of command, and how do they achieve it in practical and logistical terms, in complete secrecy? It’s childish fantasy – a fairy story to frighten the kiddies. A mantra to feed the paranoid.

        However, acceptance of a cheated victory in the election will split the country.

          I don’t think it matters if the fake and phony election is accepted or not. The election was successfully stolen without any real pushback that made any difference. It remains to be seen if any of the audits will bring about anything at all. There is no uniparty either. It is simply a criminal syndicate that runs the country. The criminal syndicate in charge does not even see the United States as a country at all but simply a pool of resources to be fully pillaged and exploited and they don’t care how many people are hurt or killed in the process.

        Recall – NBC News Expert: “Once you add that modem, you are de-certifying it … it (the election) is no longer federally certified.”

        This is not correct – and it distorts the quote, on about three levels.

        I went and read the entire NBC report on a group of election experts who were checking voting machine vulnerability. The story is 18 months old, and has no particular relevance and certainly no urgency post-election.

        Secondly, it is a quote from one of the experts, not from any official source. It is his opinion.

        Third, the quote (in context) is about the inclusion of a modem in a voting machine, and their belief that the modem does not meet AEC specifications for voting machine certification, but they were being advertised as certified.

        It has nothing to do with the “certification” of President Biden’s election victory. And of course it is just dissembling and obfuscation by Rasmussen or low IQ and thoroughly dishonest Night Owl or both.

        I understand why you might think that, and I concede some parallels – but huge differences.

        Firstly, the killer is that the election has a range of dates that were complied with, and secondly, after seven months the Trumpy forces have NEVER EVER BEEN ABLE TO GET ANYTHING TO A COURT.

        So you and anyone else can post Shock Horror Exposé posts on here for ever, but it means nothing. If there were any election fraud surely it would have been to a court in the last seven months.

        The reality is that the election was kosher … and any claims to the contrary are just either Trump sore loserdom, or more perniciously, a strategy to undermine the Biden legitimacy … just the same way they did to Barack Obama, because they couldn’t tolerate a n ____ in the White House.

            The word Uniparty gets used in different ways on here … for some it is an all-powerful Democrat machine (which is a joke in itself – for example the 50% of the Senate held by Republicans represent about 28% of the population).

            And red state after red state is passing virulent voter suppression laws to ensure that as few as possible Dem voters can get to cast a proper vote.

            For others the implication seems to be the whole political charade – and the “politics” between D & R are just a tent-show.

    I post this without comment – Jesus H Christ it doesn’t need any comment:

    Sherri Tenpenny, a Cleveland-based doctor invited as an expert witness Tuesday to a hearing in the Ohio House, had a grave warning for legislators about coronavirus vaccines.

    The anti-vaccination advocate known for spreading unfounded claims falsely told legislators that the drugs could leave people “magnetized.”

    “I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures all over the Internet of people who have had these shots and now they’re magnetized,” Tenpenny said. “They can put a key on their forehead. It sticks. They can put spoons and forks all over them and they can stick, because now we think that there’s a metal piece to that.”

    Her baseless remarks — which also suggested that vaccines “interface” with 5G cellular towers — didn’t elicit strong pushback from legislators, who were listening to testimony in favor of a bill that would prevent businesses or the government from requiring proof of vaccination.

    Apparently, this is a “thing” in Ohio among the anti-vaxxers.

    Naturally, the Internet did what the Internet does in response.

    What an absolutely great country!

    • Pucker June 10, 2021 at 6:10 am #

      I think that what Dr. Tenpenny was referring to is the possibility that the vaccines could contain nanotechnology than could be used to link up with the 5G network to transmit a person’s bodily data to the Internet. This technology is discussed in Kurzweil’s 2005 book “The Singularity”. Basically, the Singulatarians want to turn people (and everything) into data in order to hasten the creation of the AI Super-god. (“What rough beast slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?”)

        I suspect there are a few people susceptible to this notion who also work in the kind of lab where you could actually verify the theory using samples of actual vaccine, which could easily be obtained by any of the medical people also enamoured of such theories.

        BTW, I’m not magnetic either and neither is my husband. Disappointing, obviously, not to be able to perform a party trick.

        I once watched a student friend of a friend bend a fork right in front of me by gently caressing it after the fashion of Uri Geller.

Animals and plants will be connected to the Internet and their data harvested using injected nanotechnology. I suspect that the vaccines are an important conduit for chipping people?

            I know, Bill. It was still strange watching someone do it close up, although it was in the 70s, before Randi wrote his book. She was supposed to be doing tests at her boyfriend’s university for other related things. I don’t buy it – but it was weird watching it close up. She was sitting right in front of me. So kudos for the deception.

          I once took a class in Spiritualism. Strange stuff I know. We didn’t get right into it, but played around with psychic things first. It seems very strange to me now, but we all “took up serpents” (forks and spoons), caressed them, and bent them. I did it too. I have no explanation either. Was some force loose in the room – a collective field of energy associated with that place, that teacher, that movement?

          I didn’t continue with it. I had no talent in that direction (talking to the disincarnate or whatever they were) and I’m not sorry that I don’t. The possibilities of deception and disaster are very great. The morally good ones are protected, but they may well still be deceived and thus deceive in turn.

          You suddenly know you can bend it, it’s already warm, and then you bend it. Could one do the same with jail bars, Alba?

            In need of 4 credits in the “arts” I registered for an intro to method acting class one summer.

            It was filled with who exactly you’d expect it to be filled with.

            One day, the coach or professor or whatever wanted the class to walk around the classroom/studio floor like a herd of elephants.

            The eager squatted down, put an arm to their face, made trumpeting noises and sauntered around.. kicking their torso and head with their arm/trunk while trumpeting way.

            Pausing, sizing, up one another, where they would introduce themselves as an elephant.

            Not I.

            I ignored them, and kept pacing and scanning. Head straight.

            After, I was asked by coach and class why I did not become an elephant.

            “In all my years, I have yet to see an elephant put a limb to its face and wobble around like a gleeful fool”

            I was soon regarded as that guy that doesn’t do well at parties.

            At least I had the temperament

            And the credits.

    “The various modes of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by the people as equally true; by the philosopher, as equally false; and by the magistrate, as equally useful. And thus toleration produced not only mutual indulgence, but even religious concord.”

      These convictions were shated among the leaders who were usurpers.

      “Armed Bolsheviks seized the Winter Palace in Petrograd—now St. Petersburg—100 years ago this week and arrested ministers of Russia’s provisional government. They set in motion a chain of events that would kill millions and inflict a near-fatal wound on Western civilization. 

      The revolutionaries’ capture of train stations, post offices and telegraphs took place as the city slept and resembled a changing of the guard. But when residents of the Russian capital awoke, they found they were living in a different universe.  

      Although the Bolsheviks called for the abolition of private property, their real goal was spiritual: to translate Marxist- Lenin ist ideology into reality. For the first time, a state was created that was based explicitly on atheism and claimed infallibility.”

Race is a “social construct,” doncha know? K-dog used to insist on this, one of his peckadildos. Another was his adoration of Trotsky.

      “Folks of their ilk are the last thin threads of hope against a total uniparty takeover.” – tom clark

      ===========

      I have never before (your use above) seen the word ilk used in a positive light. I googled the definition and found this:

      According to dictionaries, the noun ilk does not necessarily have negative connotations. … The connotations are often subtle, but often when someone refers to a person along with his or her ilk, it is meant in a disparaging or dismissive manner.

      So, technically, you get a pass on this one.

      I would like for the person who wrote the above dictionary definition to show me just 5 instances in all of literature or journalism where ilk has been used in a positive light.

      • SoftStarLight June 10, 2021 at 1:22 pm #

        Yes Q, but can you take tom at his word? It’s very possible he intended a disparaging tone and perhaps you may not have gleaned that from the silence of your screen? tom is dangerous.

Has there ever really been a fair and objective media that actually explained current events in an objective, logical manner? Has the educational system done so? My understanding is that all of those institutions were hijacked by the criminal Satanic Illuminati long long ago. So fair and square may be in the eyes of the beholder?

    The pipeline closure would mean massive energy shortages thru out the upper midwest, and the closing of refineries in Ohio.

            How do you figure crypto currencies into your equation?

          • Night Owl June 10, 2021 at 2:46 pm #

            Crypto currencies are going to be one of the worst places to put your dough. They are hugely vulnerable.

            All that matters is hard assets.

          • O.G. Hawkins June 10, 2021 at 2:50 pm #

            Good question, JAZ.

            From Economist & Computer Engineer POVs, I Believe that crypto is brilliant. The whole distributed block-chain processing of “mined” finite currency that affords anonymous transactions Free of gov’t (or any 3rd party) surveillance or even knowledge is everything that you’d want a currency to be (in the Econ classroom).

            Big Problems:

            1) Crypto only works with consistent, reliable power and internet. When TSHTF, gold is physical.

            2) The Tulip Factor. People can’t Just accept a new medium (Bitcoin) without hype, bubble & crash. People are as people do. Gold has Tulip Factor but WAY less than does crypto.

            3) Government & their Central Banks. Monopolies do not relinquish their Power willingly. Government can & will shutdown/make ilLegal to possess/transact with crypto. Again, Gold is Better.

            Of course, because it is physical, Gold has its own risks. You require:

            1) Great hiding place(s)
            2) “Loose lips sink ships.”
            3) Security – People will figure out that you keep coming up with these silver or gold coins while they’re wiping their asses with old twenties.

            just what i said, that~s been said since the 1970s

            people will use whatever is rare to store wealth in, not just gold and silver

            food in times of scarcity, etc

            sea shells on islands

            if everyone accepts green paper, it has value

            i~ve bought lots of gold and silver, so~ve been on both sides

            You’re Right, rube. Air, water, food, shelter are the basic living necessities. They have all value until met.

            Preserving wealth needs first address preserving the above.

      Just this morning we had a contractor at the house for a vinyl siding estimate. The cost of materials came up, he said yesterday for another job he got a quote for plywood from the supplier: $95 per sheet.

      • BackRowHeckler June 10, 2021 at 2:40 pm #

        I asked him: how much was a sheet of plywood 2 years ago? Answer, $12.

        • O.G. Hawkins June 10, 2021 at 3:02 pm #

          This has the repulsive whiff of hyper-inflation. 8x in 2 years!

          Now, obviously this is a particular product & commodity and we do not (yet) see 8x across the board.

          For those who have spent their entire life with the US$ as the yard-stick of value (i.e. all of us), this may be discombobulating.

          In its simplest terms, a sheet of plywood today has the exact same value as a similar sheet of plywood did in 2019. Therefore, US$ is becoming toilet paper. You watch.

          • rube-i-con June 10, 2021 at 3:46 pm #

            straining too hard there,

            so the dollar has lost 88% of it~s value in 2 years?

            must be, since plywood has the same value even though up 8fold

            please explain for us rubes

          • O.G. Hawkins June 10, 2021 at 4:26 pm #

            Rube, obviously the US$ has not devalued 8x in 2 years. Clearly the price inflation in wood products that we have experienced in 2020-21 are the result of market forces specific to that commodity and even that product line and in, perhaps, that region as we’ve seen nothing similar with other commodities … as of yet.

            Rather, I was pointing out that Americans have value & US$ so ingrained in their noggins as being 1 & the same that many cannot even think of value without putting a US$ price tag on it.

            That will not always be the case, imho. The Powers That Be have and will snarf all things of Real Value leaving rubes with Trillions of US$ suitable for framing, ass wipes, fish wrappers, that sort of thing. [Of course, they are not all displaying the Illuminati all-seeing pyramid capstone. Most are mere digits in databases and nothing more. That is, you won’t even be able to wipe your ass with most of them when they go worthless like the Confederate Dollar before it.]

            You watch.

      • stelmosfire June 10, 2021 at 4:09 pm #

        Even at $95 a sheet plywood is still WAY cheaper than plate glass windows which seem to disappear during “peaceful” protests. Plywood will disappear when the city folk start rampaging across the ‘burbs. Get it now while it’s available.

    Israel Attacks Several Sites in Syria, Killing at Least 11
    Attacks target military sites in four key provinces

    by Jason Ditz Posted on June 9, 2021Categories NewsTags Israel, Syria

    Details are coming in about overnight airstrikes from Israel against multiple targets in Syria, revealing that strikes hit military sites in Damascus, as well as Homs, Hama, and Latakia Provinces. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported 11 killed, seven soldiers and four militia members.

    The Syrian state media initially reported the strikes, fired from Lebanese airspace, and reported interception of multiple missiles. There were reports of large explosions at several sites, though state media quoted the military denying casualties, and saying that it was only material damage.

    Air Force and other military sites were targeted in the Israeli attacks, as well as a site described as an “arms depot” which was reportedly associated with Hezbollah. Israel nominally focuses its attack on militias like Hezbollah in going after Syria, but in recent weeks Syrian military targets have been hit more often.

    As usual, there is no indication why this would be, as Israel once again refused to comment at all on the fact that they just attacked their neighbor. They say they don’t comment on attacks that were reported in foreign media first, which they don’t always stick to, but which tends to be enough to get out of commenting when they don’t want their explanation scrutinized.

    In its simplest terms, a sheet of plywood today has the exact same value as a similar sheet of plywood did in 2019. Therefore, US$ is becoming toilet paper. You watch.

    There is no justification for such a pessimistic conclusion.

    All you need to do is understand Economics 101, and the rules of supply and demand. For a number of reasons, lumber production has fallen dramatically, so the sheet of plywood does not have the same value – because of scarcity it is much more valuable than it was two years ago.

    Talk of imminent hyper-inflation is exaggerated.

      Egads you are clueless.

      Inflation has risen 5% in the last four months.

      • Tekapo June 10, 2021 at 10:54 pm #

        US inflation has risen to 5% in calendar 2021, and yes, it’s about 2.8% higher than the recent historical averages. But it is not necessarily permanent, and it isn’t even close to the definition of “hyper-inflation” – which was the claim made, and to which I was responding.

        And there is a silver lining – a modestly higher inflation rate is often a sign of a more robust economy – at least it is usually more beneficial than deflation. Will interest rates be raised? Will wages be raised? Will they reduce or cease pumping QE funny money into the market?

        You’re really big with the strawman last resort.

        President Biden has not caused the acute, nation-wide, shortage of lumber for construction. President Biden was fairly and legally elected – 50 states certified it, and so did Congress.

        Oil price increases – while they can be painful at the pump – are usually a sign of a healthier, growing economy, within limits.

        Anyway, two points:

        1. Fuel prices are coming off an extreme low in March 2020, when the stock market fell, and the pandemic rolled in.

        2. Fuel prices today are still lower than they were in July 2019, when “president” Trump was firmly in the Oval Office.

      Josie! You’re back! I have many questions for you. Welcome back to The Big Table, little girl.

      At the University of Regina in the mid-1980s, we did not have Econ 101. Econ 100 (Macro) & Econ 200 (Micro) were the introductory classes for us Econ majors.

      You see, smart-ass, you’re talking to a man with an Econ degree followed by near a quarter century on Bay St. Just as I respect Slugger when it comes to plowing airliners into skyscrapers, a little respect is warranted towards my Econ commentary.

      You completely missed my point, Jo. The value of what that sheet of plywood can do for its consumer remains unchanged (covers 4’x8′ of studded wall) while it takes 8x as many US dollars to buy it a mere 2 years later.

      I specifically said that this was clearly anecdotal of 1 product in 1 commodoity but to no avail as you AI-bot your little girl thoughts.

      Talk of imminent hyper-inflation is exaggerated.

      You do know that is why you are so irritating, Right Josephine? You state your opinions of your predictions of a constant rosy future, notwithstanding mounting evidence to the contrary, as if it were simple, known fact. That rubs people the Wrong way. TruStory

        sorry but it~s a fail this time

        the value of plywood is not that it covers the same square footage, come on

        and what do you say about goods prices that have fallen relative to the US dollar?

        does that mean the dollar is gaining as a store of wealth? how can that be without gold backing

          squirming to prove your point

          I do not squirm, sir.

          sorry but it~s a fail this time

          You are, of course, entitled to your own (Wrong) opinion.

          the value of plywood is not that it covers the same square footage, come on

          That is its True value. The US$ is a man-made fabrication that has no Real value. It is a Trusted (for now) intermediary to exchange things of value.

          I should have been clearer regarding a 2021 $95 sheet of plywood versus a 2019 $12 sheet. I know that you’d agree that they are the exact same product.

          You see, the reason why I bring that up is because the US Gov’t has been dorking with the official inflation rate for years claiming that “Better” products at the same price (i.e. new version of iPhone) offsets other (Real) price inflation throughout the economy when they are calculating their bogus CPI numbers.

          and what do you say about goods prices that have fallen relative to the US dollar?

          I say that those are market forces working to strength the value of the US$ but would further note that they are usually at the expense of the millions of low-paid American workers or the Chinese slowly buying your country with isle after isle of crap at Walmart.

          does that mean the dollar is gaining as a store of wealth?

          Ceteris paribus, sure.

          how can that be without gold backing

          Many valuable things are backed by nothing but themselves. The Mona Lisa in times of prosperity, a sharp axe during less jovial times.

          i love gold and silver but i~m a realist and not a fanatist

          I love God, my GF, my kids, my parents, sister, nephews, etc. and I too consider myself a Realist.

        Whatever the cause, every sentient person in the world knows that when a product is scarce its price will increase to the point where the supply and demand are in balance.

          Have you read my recent post explaining how the US Gov’t has been, for years, dorking with their CPI calculations deeming the same product at the same price deflationary as iPhone “upgrades” provide “more functionality per dollar” while coffee and bananas Really go up in Real price inflation.

            I do not have an economics degree – never claimed to.

            OGH is simply wrong … the price of a sheet of plywood has gone up dramatically (the numbers differ a fair bit) NOT because of runaway inflation and declining value of the USD, but because of a supply bottleneck in construction timber products.

            It has the same “value” to the carpenter in that it remains the same 8’x4′ product, but that is a trite, tautological and self-evident observation. It’s “value” is what competing buyers are prepared to pay for it | what a supplier can command for it.

            Yes the CPI calculation is highly political, but a red herring in this discussion. All OGH had to do was admit his error, and move on. But he couldn’t do it – so he hurls the ad homs.

            How can you regularly state that it is impossible to prove a negative but also that you proved that God does not exist by the time that you were age 9?

            Until you explain this, your ridiculous inconsistency, Jo, you have zero credibility.

            —–

            The way that the US Gov’t has been low-balling inflation for years is not a red-herring, Jo. It was my whole point in speaking of the product itself being identical in function and features from 2019 to 2021 (unlike iPhones) and I did acknowledge that I should have explained that in my initial post.

            I said that 8x plywood prices in 2 years is a repulsive whiff of hyper-inflation and I stand by that statement.

            I clearly stated (several times now) that this was obviously market forces of 1 product of 1 commodity but you keep acting like I didn’t. So there’s that.

            I Believe that, relative to US$, we are at the beginning of significant commodity price increases that will rip through this stagnant economy like the Red River on a record year. You Believe that my Beliefs are not based on sound economic understanding and reasoning. I know that you are Wrong.

            OG is thinking levels deeper than you are.

            I’m first to admit I’m shallow, but OGH wasn’t thinking deeply – he made a rushed judgment that the skyrocketing price of a sheet of ply was a sure sign of his long-held belief that hyper-inflation (and a deliberate crushing of the stock market, and a collapse in the value of the USD) are just around the corner.

            It was pointed out to him that the price of ply – even if you can find it – is a function of very constricted supply, and he tried to dig his way out. He made a mistake, that’s all.

            Your tirade has been disingenuous from the very start, Jo. We all know that.

            I made no mistake while you build a Giant Strawman.

            Mary is Right about my discussion of Value vs. US$. You can’t grasp i though, Jo. What I find even more interesting is that you are very American about it, Jo.

            People who don’t live in the US spend their lives converting as Gold, Silver, Oil, everything is denominated in the World Reserve Currency. We daily see fluctuations and can more easily understand that US$ need not always be the yardstick but, rather, Just yet another commodity. A commodity that nobody wants anymore.

      There is no justification for such a pessimistic conclusion.

      Talk of imminent hyper-inflation is exaggerated.

      Unless I am correct and The Powers That Be have looted Earth clean and will leave its citizens holding worthless US$. You always speak of The Truth like it is some nebulous thing that will remain as doubtable in the future as it is now.

      You do it with the very existence of our Lord Almighty. You do it with Dr Fauci & the Kool-aids. You do it with the insolvency of the US$. You do it with The Powers That Be. All will be revealed, Jo.

      Don’t tell me that there is no justification when I have spent the past 2 decades gathering reams of justification.

      Just because you, with your closed little mind, have not seen justification does not mean that justification does not exist.

    As any economist will tell you, printing gobs of money over a short period (which is what the Federal Reserve has done during the pandemic) is a key inflation ingredient.

    We have seen this happen many times over the past century. From Weimar Germany to present-day Venezuela, massive money printing never works and always spurs out-of-control inflation.

    The Deutsche Bank report concludes with this dire warning, “We worry that inflation will make a comeback. Few still remember how our societies and economies were threatened by high inflation 50 years ago. The most basic laws of economics, the ones that have stood the test of time over a millennium, have not been suspended. An explosive growth in debt financed largely by central banks is likely to lead to higher inflation. … Rising prices will touch everyone. The effects could be devastating, particularly for the most vulnerable in society. Sadly, when central banks do act at this stage, they will be forced into abrupt policy change which will only make it harder for policymakers to achieve the social goals that our societies need.”

        We can all disregard what those buffoons at the Fed say and also pretty much everything coming out of mainstream economics about inflation or anything else.

        As for D Bank, they’ve been a calamity for years, a consistent money loser, their balance sheet a garbage dump. They say they’ve turned the corner. Yeah, ok, we’ll see.

        All that said, when you grow the money supply the way they’ve been doing, inflation in asset prices and prices of consumer goods is what you’d entirely expect. The fact that economics bigwigs are saying don’t worry about it makes me worry all the more.

        I can’t remember if you’re old enough to remember the wild inflation of 1960s to the 1980s. It was not fun. A lot of ordinary people got crushed. Even bloody Wall Street took a hammering, the Dow in 1982 roughly where it was in 1965. After inflation and fees investors in stocks got shellacked. In 1978 there were magazine articles talking about the death of equities.

        Do I think we should go back to those times? No, I don’t and if inflation squeezes people enough I shudder to think what mayhem follows.

        • O.G. Hawkins June 11, 2021 at 12:11 am #

          You are correct, Volo. So far the unprecedented US$ creation by the US Fed has resulted in the “inflation” of equities and real estate (again!) while mainly buying up US Debt that no one else wants by US$ creation in a circle jerk of obvious bankruptcy.

          I suspect that this froth will spill into commodities (beyond lumber) in the months ahead. Sharp increases in commodities will then deluge everything downstream.

          • O.G. Hawkins June 11, 2021 at 12:13 am #

            Oh! And I forgot to say: D Bank is a major bank. Mistakes made elsewhere in their massive organization does not diminish, in the least, their fine Research Department (which warns of US inflationary times ahead).

    ” the train is going to Treblinka ”

    Something I found just a week ago , that might interest someone besides me ?

    A photo album of Sobibor extermination camp.

    I had read in many sources , both perpetrator and victim accounts , that Treblinka and Sobibor were materially and superficially rather attractive.

    If you are looking for pics of dead bodies , human skeletons , and gas chambers you will be disappointed .

    What I find fascinating , but extremely depressing , is how normal and even attractive the most grizzly of realities can be.

    But then , I think it IS normal.

    If this sort of thing was barking mad , it wouldn’t be a problem to begin with.

    Anyway —

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sobibor_perpetrator_album

    ^ second reference on that page takes you here —

    https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/irn715033#?rsc=207981&cv=0&xywh=-750%2C-122%2C3006%2C2431&c=0&m=0&s=0

    Scroll down the page to , ” Sobibor ( 62 photos ) 1942 – 1943 two folders.

    The place looks like a rather nice SS R&R facility.

    ” Trotsky did write a superb book, “History of the Russian Revolution,” but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t deficient in other respects. ”

    Yeah , it’s so good you wish you could have been there to help.

    If I could have people remember , and take to heart , only one thing about revolutions and politics it would be this ;

    Just because someone is a halfway decent , or even great , artist , does NOT mean you would be wise to give them your bank account PIN number .

    Or , as someone said above , that you would want to leave them alone with your pet rock.

        *sigh *

        I’ll say this again ;

        Jews were 2% of Europe’s population.

        Add Gypsies to the list of murdered , and a fair number of militant Reds , and members of the Gay lobby who refuse to quit flaunting it ,

        and it still adds up to ………..not much to get excited about.

        It was not particularly notable , even in the narrow category of genocide.

        75 years of grossly exaggerated and hyperbolic anti – Nazi propaganda has something to do with how you wound up neck – deep in shit to begin with.

        Very useful and effective for Western politicians ( of a class who would never invite you to their birthday parties anyway ) in the short term .

        For the average Joe White person , long term ?

        For Western Civilization in general , long term ?

        Catastrophic.

        Exaggeration and hyperbole the other way ?

        It doesn’t help the , ” Other way ”

        Holocaust denial is like when Atheists want to ” prove ” how “wonderful ” their not – a – religion is they go and find a Creationist to put on a soap box.

          ” The physical evidence just isn’t there.”

          The physical evidence just isn’t there that Joseph Mengele’s experimental work at Auschwitz was anything other than kinda boring.

          The weird shit he’s accused of comes from a grand total of maybe 5 people , all of whom just might have had an axe to grind.

          It’s not enough that he probably simply didn’t care about 5 year old Jews being herded into gas chambers , any more than the average American cares about American bombs being dropped on Yemeni 5 year olds.

          Nope , they gotta add in some bizarre Frankenstein pedo shit to spice things up .

          And you political types wonder why anyone with half a brain becomes cynical ?

    Consumer prices surged 5 percent in May, fastest pace since 2008

    Spiking demand and limited supply in the reopening economy drove higher price increases for the second straight month.

    By Ben Popken

    Inflation soared by 5 percent in May, the fastest year-over-year pace since 2008, as surging demand from the reopening economy met supply chains choked with shortages.

    Rising prices in the heating, yet fragile, economy continue to erode consumer purchasing power, according to the latest Consumer Price Index report, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics released Thursday morning.”

      And just how has President Biden caused supply chains to be choked with shortages? It’s not the fault of his administration that there is a shortage of rare earth metals, semi-conductors, lumber, and much else.

      And let us be rational – the “fastest year-over-year” has to be taken with a huge pinch of salt – last year was deeply depressed by recession and pandemic. Compare this year with 2018-2019, if you’re actually trying to inform your reader, rather than spin a tale.

    The vaxx is not preventing the vaxxed from getting covid. The *goal* we are told is to stop covid. And the only way to stop covid is if everyone were to get vaxxed. The vaxxes and proof of vaxxiness didn’t stop the spread. So again, then what are the vaccines and the proofports/passports for? Since covid still spreads in their midsts what are their purposes? And why the maniacal rush into unproven, experimental apparent solutions? Why should they receive unquestioning blind faith acceptance. ?

    • GreenAlba June 11, 2021 at 6:41 am #

      Speaking for myself, SSL, and only for myself, I consider (because I cannot know) that my vaxx allows me to mix with all and sundry with almost no risk. It can’t be no risk, because I was quoted 90% effectiveness, not 100% and I have never looked for 100% security anyway. And of course 90% may be an overestimate in any case.

      I do not have a ‘vaxx pass’ of any kind. I was not given even a bit of paper to say I’d been vaxxed and I did not ask for one, since proof to someone else was not the point of my vaccination for me.

      I’ll take it that I’m relatively safe from a fatal dose of Covid for maybe 8 months, and I will enjoy those months. Then, if more decisions need to be made at that point, they will be made at that point, presumably with more information to hand than is available now.

      Other people’s mileage will obviously vary. I do not in any way question their decisions. My older daughter, who is 40, has chosen, for now and after much dithering, not to be vaxxed. That decision is in large part down to me, so I hope she doesn’t come a cropper and I have to blame myself. But I doubt she will.

      Different strokes (and risk/benefit ratios) for different folks.

        There is very little point arguing with anti-vaxxers, or even the vax-sceptics, GA … they are as locked in as the religious. SSL is being illogical – as you state, just because the Covid-19 vaccine is not 100% perfect protection does not mean it is worthless.

        That is the argument the anti-vaxxers are pushing … the same as they spread the disinformation that because masks were not 100% effective, they were somehow fraudulent.

        These people weaponized the pandemic, weaponized masks, and now they weaponize vaccines. They are desperate – particularly as cases and deaths are declining steadily as the percentage of vaccinated increases. I assume they feat the science. Weird.

            Of which, Mr M, since I effectively swung the balance in my daughter’s decision not to get vaxxed, at least for now, so am I.

            All scientists (which I obviously am not) should be sceptics as a matter of course. That’s their job.

            But in practicalities, such as my own personal situation, a decision one way or the other has to be made. So you make it, knowing that it will almost never be made with 100% guaranteed accurate information, whichever way you choose to go.

          Those aren’t even the arguments, you schmuck.

          They are your straw men, erected so that you can further troll the board.

      SSL, the vaxxes are the keystone in the bridge to ID2020.

      Without the fake pandemic and vaxxes, they would have no means of herding the populace into a digital tracking and compliance system. They want a Chinese style system here, as they have clearly indicated.

      Treatments for the infected who are elderly or have weak immune systems were surpressed (Ivermectin and HCQ), as if treatments are known to be available, emergency use authorization would never have been granted to the MRNA frankenshots.

    Don’t subdue your words and arrows just because they are mindlessly enjoying a picnic. Their food is poisoned. You have to get their attention lest they perish. Somebody who doesn’t love you will let you drink rat poison kool aid. But someone who truly cares will toss you out of a moving vehicle face first into a muddy, mosquito filled ditch if it means you will be saved ultimately. Think about it.

    Everyone should just watch Noam Chomsky interview on dissent 1988 with Bill Moyers, what are the means of control? Every society have means of control. Americas means of control is subtle complicit control of thought. Anyway, none of this will matter because climate change will be the left hook no one is really prepared for, no one really understands. In the end, I think the question ultimately is: Is mankind evil? The answer would have to be yes, we have no one to blame but ourselves.
