You can start to wonder what, if anything, will be left standing of the life we once called “modern” when Christmas 2021 rolls around. Shopping? Motoring? Working? Mingling? Eating? Sleeping? Waking…? Suddenly, everything is coming apart.
The supply lines are wobbling and many will go down. No stuff, no parts, before long, no food. Energy supplies are shaky everywhere. China’s electric grid is going dark from insufficient coal. Russia lacks the surplus NatGas to keep Western Europe warm. Global shortages drive up US oil and gas prices while people lose jobs and incomes over vaccine mandates — meaning families will freeze as the daylight dwindles. “Joe Biden’s” dark winter is coming on fast.
Ol’ White Joe might be going soon, too, before his vaunted dark winter even arrives. Guess what’s on his schedule this Monday morning. Answer: an airplane ride from Wilmington to Washington, some remarks at 11:15 about the debt ceiling, and then… nothing. Calling “a lid” on the day. The “president’s” mental mojo has sunk so low that his handlers won’t allow him to gab freely with the Democratic Party’s congressional caucus. They hustled him out of the room on Capitol Hill last week after he attempted a pep-talk to that posse in their deranged effort to pass a $3.5-trillion “social safety net” package that is just a giveaway to ward-heelers in “blue” cities.
But then, who can imagine Kamala Harris in the Oval Office? Surely not Kamala herself, who has been cringing out-of-sight for weeks as the situation worsens. No more trips to Texas to pretend to care about the foreign invasion at the Mexican border that she was assigned to manage. No more anything for Ms. Harris, except hunkering down in the old naval observatory in a paralysis of anxiety and nausea. Do they dare even let her pretend to head the executive branch? Or does she just resign in tandem with Ol’ White Joe, propelling Nancy Pelosi into the job? That will light up our dark winter, won’t it?
The daunting fact is that the country is leaderless, and at quite a bad time. But the vacuum will be filled, sure enough, and perhaps by means that America has not seen before: an unscheduled transfer of power. And to whom? There has been an awful lot of chatter on the down-low about one Donald Trump having engineered a setup in late 2020 whereby he used the continuity-of-government provisions to declare that year’s election invalid and clear a path through the legal minefields to resume governing. Sounds wild. Sounds kind of like the political back-story of my own novels… but need you be reminded again that life imitates art? Gives me the creeps, I confess.
Meanwhile, the country is too busy committing suicide by Covid-19. The stupid vaccine mandates guarantee the loss of hospital services and the failure of medical care generally as nurses, technicians, doctors, and even the cleaning crew peel away from their jobs. Ditto, public education… and just about everything else, really, where employment is conditioned on getting vaxed. A lot of ordinary people have weighed the costs and benefits and have decided to opt out. No thank you on blood clots and a premature death. Help wanted signs are plastered everywhere and no help is on the way. For many businesses, no parts or raw materials are on the way either. The truckers don’t want the vax.
With the vaccine program failing, Pfizer and the gang are looking to ride to the rescue with a new magic Covid cure pill that does exactly what Ivermectin has been doing, though constantly maligned in the mainstream news. Get a load of this statement issued by the Associated Press on Friday.
“Falsely touted as a treatment for Covid-19?” That’s about as maliciously dishonest as you can get, since it will contribute to killing people whose lives would otherwise be saved by the Ivermectin protocol — which has been shown to be safe and effective in the clinical setting around the world. By the way, Ivermectin is an off-patent drug costing only about two dollars a pill. Since the Covid-19 early treatment protocol runs five days, that’s about $10 for that medication. It must gall the pharma companies to see that enormous profit-potential slip through their hands. Their go-to drug the past two years has been Remdesivir, which is neither safe nor effective and costs $3,100 for a course of treatment (NPR-News). How much do you suppose Pfizer will charge for its new ivermectin replacement?
So, while America strangles its economy to death, seemingly on-purpose, do you suppose the capital markets will not notice? You bet they will, and that means big trouble for Wall Street, probably soon. This is their season of the witch, you know, and just last week they twitched up-and-down five hundred points a day. Looking a little shaky.
Is it a coincidence, by the way, that four officers of the Federal Reserve have been outed for trading stocks and bonds in a pattern that looks an awful lot like front-running the Fed’s own “guidance”? Robert S. Kaplan, head of the Dallas Fed, and Eric Rosengren, head of the Boston Fed announced their “early retirements” last week over stock-trading ethics issues. Fed Vice-chair Richard Clarida’s financial disclosure statement indicated that he dumped millions of dollars in a Pimco bond fund and jammed them into a Pimco stock fund the day before Fed Chair Jerome Powell announced emergency interventions to battle the Covid-19 epidemic in early 2020. Mr. Clarida was involved in deliberations leading to the change in Fed policy. And Richmond Fed president Thomas Barkin is under scrutiny for voting to bail out the corporate bond market while sitting on a portfolio of corporate bonds. In his past role as CFO of McKinsey & Co., a global consulting firm, Barkin advised Purdue Pharma L.P. on maximizing sales of its painkiller OxyContin, the infamous scourge of the US opioid epidemic.
There are your chieftains of America’s central bank, a dumpster fire riding the garbage barge of our nation’s economy into a blood-red sunset. That cursed vessel is sailing past epic disorders like the container ships idling offshore of California and New York, full of stuff going nowhere. The country marinates in the fetid exudations of institutional rot, waiting for the lights to flicker out.

We can hope that the recent resignations in Australia, over corruption, will have a chain reaction and more people will start looking more closely at who is behind the scamdemic in this country.
While we still have the semblance of a nation.
Within a year, virus will be the last thing on people’s minds. More pressing concerns will be jobs, energy and food.
Then we’d better hurry up with the courts and hangings.
Australia can hold kangaroo courts.
What are your guys opinion of Alaska’s prospect as a state going forward? Both for the people, clinate and if it can defend itself.
There are Russian nationalists who claim the Czar lacked the authority to sell Alaska, therefore it still belongs to them. Look out Nanook, they may return.
Alaska should have never been made a state in the first place. Neither should Hawaii, in the middle of the ocean, thousands of miles away from the mainland. In the coming secession, they may be the first places Heritage Americans should flee to.
Is Alaska able to feed itself?
That would be the major question on my mind if I was thinking of relocating there.
The Eskimo’s lived a long time feeding themselves. It all depends. Do you like moose and seal meat?

Survival experts say no: Too cold. Too much fuel needed and too short a growing season. Maybe the Panhandle with a focus on fishing?

Make Alaska Russian Again?
Well, after the pole shift and hardening of the soil post permafrost, it might be gr8. But I think the republic will survive in the northern flyover states.
I like mara’s idea of making it Russian again since we have taken most of it’s resources and the oil pipeline is about to run dry…..
The medical profession will not survive this episode, in which tens of thousands of people have been murdered by the use of ventilators (for which the hospitals are paid $39k) and the sheer lack of effective treatment while the miracle drug Ivermectin has established around the world that is nearly 100% effective, and treatments with HCL, Azithromycin and even OTC anti-allergy drugs have proven highly effective…Nor will the heavy handed promotion of a completely ineffective vaccine which has killed more than 100k and caused grievous injury to far more, be forgiven..
Can we bring back the guillotine?

I and others who suggest that Merck’s new miracle pill Molnupiravir is just Ivermectin with a “secret ingredient” to make it patent-able may unfortunately be wrong. If Derringer’s description of the molecular design of the drug is correct, it has the potential to outshine the mRNA injections as the new Grim Reaper.

The new drug should be named Iver-schmuck-tin. Welcome to Schmuckistan. Too much free and not enough brave.

Though why something so messy would be chosen is odd. Maybe it’s cheap?. Maybe some important people get a kick out of it?
Spot on, Pyrrhus. Apart from a few thousand medics, most of them were all in for the Big Lie. They need to be reminded of what happened to Hitler’s docs at Nuremberg. They will never gain the trust they once had.
The King of Epirus had the sense, and decency, to retreat following a too costly victory.
It didn’t save his country from vengeful Romans – never underestimate the vindictiveness of the inadequate who would quite happily cut off their nose to spite their face.
I saw two things this weekend that made me think the end may be nigher than they think.
The first was the claim (undocumented but lunatic enough to be correct) that the bill that the Democrats are having their spat about contains funding in the low billions for illegal immigrants to attend 2 years of Community College.
The second was concerning the degree that Congress has sealed itself off from constituents.
No letter mail is accepted (Iraq Anthrax hoax don’t you know.) Emails are all responded to with automated “Thank you for” spam return note.
Telephone calls all go to voice mail. Return call extremely unlikely unless you are enquiring about where to send money.
I don’t think even Americans are stupid enough to accept this.
If only we could send an electronic virus to their servers, maybe that would get the message across…..
Make that THREE things:
“The United States Postal Service (USPS) has suspended mail deliveries to New Zealand due to an unavailability of transportation.”

“Unavailability of Transportation” W.T.A.F. ???
Bilejones, this is so upsetting if true: “No letter mail is accepted.”
Is there a source?
I cannot imagine older people writing letters going to into a void unanswered.

Good one!
If you are emailing a member of the House they check your zip code and if you are not in their district they will not accept your letter.
But even if it gets accepted, most will completely ignore you.
shotho, the vaxxed will be dropping like flies this Fall & Winter.
You are correct about all those other concerns, however.
Sad but True.
Ever the optimist, O.G.
I think Jim got it wrong by suggesting Obiden will be gone by fall. If he actually is a hologram being played by an actor in a mask he is immortal. The Handlers really don’t want Round Heels occupying the office of Acting President, passing out favors from her favorite couch.. Far better to have a Dead President there who can be managed by withdrawing communication links if the actor starts to think he is President and goes off script. With a strong injection of sedatives every afternoon he can be kept well rested and a virile 80 for the necessary public appearances.
A note of caution to the Actor playing President. Remember what happened to the actor employed by the CIA to play Osama bin Laden..
I am optimistic, TH.
However, we must first earn our Paradise.
Right now, it is “time to make hay.”
The actors playing OBL died in any ways.
Buried in a cave system in Tora Bora.
Droned to death.
One was killed in his bed and his corpse buried at sea.
The real one probably died of kidney failure.
Much like the actor who played Saddam was found in a Spidey hole and hung.
Give that one props for giving his executioner shit for tying the nose wrong.
I remember how many times we were told someone whos face or name was on a card died only to hear that name over and over being killed when they needed a win of some kind.

…aaaand this jewel, from the Newsweek website (Newsweek is still a thing??)

The quote from the grieving mother:
She described her son as lovable and outgoing, and encourages people to get vaccinated.
“I’m not saying the outcome wouldn’t be different, but, you know,” she said.
YA KNOW?? Yet one more bit of cultish response.
Cannot make this up.
Paula’s right (below), the culted are sacrificing their children.
And then asking others to do the same!
That article is insane. Wow.
Or food, ammo and land.
Or as they say in Ozland, “petrol, bait, ammo. & ice” is all that is needed for a weekend away from home.
“Within a year, virus will be the last thing on people’s minds.”
Many of believed that in March 2020. Or this time in 2020.
Something is sustaining this Corona-Panic social-phenomenon that keeps it in the news. One is reminded of the 1980s movie THEY LIVE. If you’ve seen it, you’ll know what I mean.
I believe the Corona-Panic, or Corona Religion, has been influential enough even to survive major recession (it already has done that, all too few people rebelled) and small-scale food shortages.
John Carpenter had definitely seen the future…

“Heheheh…it figures it would be something like this…”

RIP Hot Rod!
Wrong movie.
Think of a 1973 movie set about half a century in the future:
Soylent Green.
Goes live in 2022.
Hence all the fake meat propaganda.
They live, we sleep. We those glasses. Make the masses put them on.
Everything surrounding Covid is a grift. Some people think it’s some grand conspiracy to cull the herd, I think it’s far simpler than that. Perhaps a 50/50 chance on it being natural versus a gain of function man-made virus gone wild – but it doesn’t matter, the grifting is all the same – and the mechanisms to grift never more influential.
What if they never came up with a vaccine? Everyone would still have their jobs despite the virus still be around and the MSM would be talking about some other existential threat like racism or anti-lockdown folks.
The truth is, whether everyone takes a vaccine or vaccines were never invented, the whole impact of covid (in any realistic sense) would still resolve itself in under 36 months if not sooner.
The illusion is that we have more control than we do – and sell that to the masses and exploit them.

I have a simple explanation. It is a religion. A religion in the true sense as defined within the field of anthropology. It was a major-breakthrough apocalypse cult. Occasionally these can happen when circumstances align.
If a rookie Martian anthropologist descended on our planet, encountering ‘Corona’ for the first time, the Martian would probably describe the social-phenomenon of ‘Covid’ as a religion, if keeping consistent with all previous definitions of what Human Religion is.
(With apologies to Mr. Kunstler for posting this twice,) Let me again post my transcript of the Tucker Carlson writers’ recent, excellent broadside against Corona-as-literal-Religion:
TUCKER CARLSON ON THE “CORONA CULT”:
https://hailtoyou.wordpress.com/2021/09/28/tucker-carlson-on-the-corona-cult/
” jobs, energy and food.”
Shotho,
I thought there were Four Horsemen.
“Civil disturbances” will be the fourth. Personally I have no future issues with Jobs, energy, nor food. I am well positioned. It is the fourth one that will get me.
Of this I have no doubt.
four horsemen of the apocalypse are four biblical figures who appear in the Book of Revelation. They are revealed by the unsealing of the first four of the seven seals. Each of the horsemen represents a different facet of the apocalypse: conquest, war, famine, and death.
anmari,
Thank you, but it was meant to be a reference…an allegory…I claim literary license…and as a graduate of a public university, I claim ignorance….
Elysian, thank you! I think civil disturbances among other things fall nicely under the category of conquest. And I don’t see any need for allegory, this is happening any way you frame it.
The dumb, clueless Globalists don’t realize that all of their machinations are just setting them up for removal and execution. Once it comes down to lack of food, clean water, and energy… the masses will indeed rise up and take matters into their own hands. Bloody hands, I might add. I look forward to that day. I would love to partake myself. Would be glorious to see all of these swamp critters hanging from lamp posts. Can’t wait for the guillotines to be rolled out.
“Can’t wait for the guillotines to be rolled out”. Beware of revolutionary fervour — once lit, there’s no predicting how that fire will spread. The people you hate may not be fireproof, but you and your loved ones aren’t either.
It’s not impossible that America’s rulers can be held to account, and some legitimacy restored to government, through lawful means. Unfortunately those means are neither easy nor glamorous, and don’t afford blowhards gratification through redemptive violence.
Your comment seems to imply that lawful means – in other words Constitutional – and violence, are mutually exclusive. They are not my friend.
The country’s solutions are no longer political – the sooner that fantasy is put to rest, the better.
The Deep State has nullified the rule of law without realizing that that cuts both ways.
like they haven~t planned for lack of food and water etc.?
why do you think they pay people to not work?
i hope you~re correct, but they~ve planned for your scenarios, it~s basic stuff
“just get the shot and you can buy food”
I think they’re absolutely working a plan for lack of food and water.
How many folks are now getting groceries delivered?
How much personal responsibility have we abdicated by allowing others to select our groceries? Yesterday, we took delivery of a big salmon fillet that somehow escaped it’s container and was laying in the bottom of the bag.
The totalitarians who fear our guns are in control of our personal supply lines now. That has been their biggest obstacle to their plans. Think about how you would solve that problem. Think about how it was solved in the past. Siege warfare?
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door.
There’s a reason why the sudden disruptions in the food supply, especially of meats. It’s no wonder that animal free “meats” are being so assiduously pushed, they have to keep things on track
Soylent Green was set in 2022.
The virus will be in the past, but the ramifications from the clottery will be ongoing well past a year.
As I have discovered personally through my last six years in governance of my own small municipality, corruption is definitely rampant everywhere which is a problem. The bigger problem is that so many of the American people have accepted it as a way of doing business that there can be no hope that it can ever be turned around. When shown how easy and how prevalent it is to lie cheat and steal and tolerate those who do, a majority of people here say, “Hey, I’d do it too and so would you if you could!” Seriously, I am not exaggerating.
IMHO our nation is thoroughly collapsing because it replaced God with Money and the pursuit of it by all means possible. If it can make you money, it has to be good. If it can make you stinking rich, it is even better. He who dies with the most toys wins. Once these became the new American Religion, we we doomed. So what if half or most of the people on the planet are killed off as long as someone gets stinking rich! Maybe they’ll throw me a crumb or two if I survive.
Good luck with that America sorry to see you go. One upside to this all is that they will have finally found a way to turn lead into gold – you know what I mean, don’t you?
You left the other tenant of the new religion, worship of diversity
@butter
Is not diversity in the Universe the rule and homogeneity not the exception?
Pathogens love homogeneity in populations. yum, yum
I prefer my spaghetti sauce to be rich in the blend of exquisite spices. Otherwise, it’s just tomato soup.
It ain’ta religion; it’s just the way things are.
I could be wrong.
~toktomi~
I could be wrong too but it seemed simpler when we were less diverse. Over complex as our host says, but I like my spaghetti the same way. History is about diverse peoples in conflict, that’s might change if we make it to the Star Trek era.
Enough of your foolishness. Put people in a room and factions form within twenty minutes.
Blacks sit with other Blacks because they like each other more than they do Whites. Only Whites are confused at such an utterly basic level.
you conflate ‘the universe’ and its VIBRANT diversity with
nations
borders
racial differences
social and economic differences
Not a grest analogy.
Typically the spices make up less than 1% of the total sauce volume.
butter, the noodle head makes spaghetti sauce and ethnic conflict into a strange soufflé.
Read Brimlows bestseller. He tells some sorry take of a leftist who is all for endless immigration because his ancestors were

Should be tenet
A tenant is someone who rents or leases a house, apartment, etc. from a landlord. A tenet is a principle, dogma, belief, or doctrine generally held to be true.
Lasted way longer than I thought…
Better a job with apartheid than hunger with an empty slogan? In any event, insincerity planned the agenda.
Walter, corruption has always been rampant in the US of A.
Difference being that the patrician class and monied elites could keep a better lid on things.
Americans were told that petty corruption is worse. Bribing cops and low level bureaucrats. And they bought it, and it was minimal in the US and prosecuted whenever possible.
Meanwhile, the big grift was ignored, and was reserved exclusively for the connected.
America is where the little people accepted that rules are for little people, and the big people? Well, they would never… or at least they’re discreet.
America is great because America is good. When it ceases to be good it will cease to be great.

In my recollection, which only goes back to the 1950s, it would be a stretch to say that people in general were “good.” I guess the difference was that most of them at least believed in being good and had some core standards about what that meant. Some were even cognizant that there were seven deadly sins: lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride.
The sense of sin has been greatly eroded. It is acceptable to watch porn and eat to the pont of obesity. To fail to be envious of the Kardashians and other celebrities is to be out of touch. For many, the goal in life is to never have to do much of anything. Most people want status symbols (expensive houses and cars) merely out of pride–to show off.
You could say that the seven deadly sins have been normalized, or even embraced.
Back when America was much more “good” than it is today, Americans also had courage. I recently read Daniel Boone’s biography, “Bood and Treasure,” which gives you a sense of the diminution of courage since that time.
Yes. Something changed. We couldn’t have gotten this far with people like they are now.
My initial thoughts regarding the “pandemic” were that it was a psyop to disguise another fiscal crash. I assumed that the people in charge knew that the shots were shit and their administration would be limited to the disposable elements of the population. Things changed when I saw them required for medical staff, pilots, and the military. Does anyone know what the end game is? Do the powers that be actually believe in this? Are they taking these shots? I think I’m fairly sharp but can’t figure this out at all.
AreC. That bugged me too. Either they are trying to subjugate the military/healthcare and show them who’s boss, or they are trying to gut the system completely. For them, thousands of nurses and GIs walking out is a win because it throws things further towards their goal: utter chaos. I can never decide if they are brilliant but evil geniuses or just fools blinded by the elitist arrogance.
World domination. Decimate the military, the infastructure, trade, production, medicine.
Indoctrinate the masses and the hordes now arriving.
Cull the useless.
Imprison the free.
Now I am alone. O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I!
Is it not monstrous that this player here,
But in a fiction, in a dream of passion,
Could force his soul so to his own conceit
That from her working all his visage wann’d,
Tears in his eyes, distraction in’s aspect,
A broken voice, and his whole function suiting
With forms to his conceit? and all for nothing!
For Hecuba!
What’s Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba,
That he should weep for her? What would he do,
Had he the motive and the cue for passion
That I have? He would drown the stage with tears
And cleave the general ear with horrid speech,
Make mad the guilty and appal the free,
Confound the ignorant, and amaze indeed
The very faculties of eyes and ears. Yet I,
A dull and muddy-mettled rascal, peak,
Like John-a-dreams, unpregnant of my cause,
And can say nothing; no, not for a king,
Upon whose property and most dear life
A damn’d defeat was made. Am I a coward?
Who calls me villain? breaks my pate across?
Plucks off my beard, and blows it in my face?
Tweaks me by the nose? gives me the lie i’ the throat,
As deep as to the lungs? who does me this?
Ha!
‘Swounds, I should take it: for it cannot be
But I am pigeon-liver’d and lack gall
To make oppression bitter, or ere this
I should have fatted all the region kites
With this slave’s offal: bloody, bawdy villain!
Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain!
O, vengeance!
Why, what an ass am I! This is most brave,
That I, the son of a dear father murder’d,
Prompted to my revenge by heaven and hell,
Must, like a whore, unpack my heart with words,
And fall a-cursing, like a very drab,
A scullion!
Fie upon’t! foh! About, my brain! I have heard
That guilty creatures sitting at a play
Have by the very cunning of the scene
Been struck so to the soul that presently
They have proclaim’d their malefactions;
For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak
With most miraculous organ. I’ll have these players
Play something like the murder of my father
Before mine uncle: I’ll observe his looks;
I’ll tent him to the quick: if he but blench,
I know my course. THE SPIRIT THAT I HAVE SEEN MAY BE THE DEVIL : and the devil hath power
To assume a pleasing shape; yea, and perhaps
Out of my weakness and my melancholy,
As he is very potent with such spirits,
Abuses me to damn me: I’ll have grounds
More relative than this: the play’s the thing
Wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king.
Hamlet. Act 2, scene 2. In case anyone was curious.
“Why, what an ass am I?” reminded me of a silly childhood joke over this way (we were easily pleased in the 50s) when you’d ask someone to sing the ‘Siamese national anthem’, to the tune of God Save the Queen.
It went:
Owa tana Siam
Owa tana Siam
Owa tanas…

Like corrupt Joe’s fake shot, most of the powers that be are not taking them. Just read that over 100K have died within 14 days of taking the shot, and that there are over 500K adverse reactions, many quite serious, like the 12 year police officer who is now crippled after his shot taken as a result of it being made mandatory. Since our CDC and NIH will not tell us the truth and punish anyone who tries, maybe we have to accept these numbers. As for me and my family, no shots, no time. As a result, we are the modern version of the lepers of biblical times, especially in Demoncrap-ruled states.
There is no hope. We are doomed!

Speaking of malicious dishonesty, the Market Ticker guy offers proof of that “UP AND DOWN THE LINE FROM BIDEN TO FAUCI TO THE CDC AND THE NIH AND FDA AND EXTENDS TO EVERY SINGLE ******* IN THE MEDIA CLAIMING THIS IS A PANDEMIC OF THE “UNVACCINATED”; THEY ARE ALL — EVERY ONE OF THEM — LYING THROUGH THEIR TEETH AND MUST PAY FOR WHAT THEY’VE DONE.”

Well, we can only hope that they’re only worthless then, at least, and not actively malicious. That’s one angle we haven’t explored yet. What if the damn vaxxes are just essentially placebos to placate the restless herd and to provide the final round of profits for big pharma before the whole shootin’ match goes down the toilet? That might actually be the best possible outcome that can be hoped for at this point.
Sure, but by then there won’t be much left after they’ve systematically raided the globe of all the really important stuff. Evil, thieving, woke GloboCap monsters!
Dr Yeadon has speculated that 85% of the first 2 jabs were placebo.
The odds of blood vessel injection is low. Aspiration is a safety measure but is statistically surprising when it actually does draw blood into the syringe from a vein.
Now, if it is rare that the needle accesses a vein in the shoulder and then, when it does, there is an 85% chance that that doesn’t matter because it is Just saline water, then deaths will be low. That is, there will be very few (relative to the the jabs jabbed) immediate deaths.
That would accomplish 3 goals:
1) Get the slow-acting (2-3 years) toxic poison into 15% of the people plus, perhaps, get the non-lethal Operating System goop (e.g. graphene oxide) into 100% of the double-dosed.
2) Normalize jabs in the public’s minds to shoot whatever they so choose later in a never-ending, VaxxPass-verified booster program.
3) Ostrasize and demonize* the “hesitant” Purebloods.
Mission accomplished.
– President George W. Bush
*The Devil loves to turn everything upside and backwards.
Yes, I had considered the idea of #1 as well. Why not make the toxic batches random? You certainly don’t want to kill off everyone with the first round, especially indiscriminately. Much more effective to throw additional confusion in the mix, if nothing else just for laughs and because they can. And indeed, the whole vaxx program is a long term project, meant less to just kill off the current generation of oldsters en masse (although that’s an added plus!), but to normalize the whole mess for the youngsters, who had better believe that this is absolutely the “new normal” for the rest of their lives. And what’ya know? They seem to be taking to it just fine from what I’ve seen. Poor bastards!
Indeed, it would be wisest to be selective in who get the crap and who gets the H2O.. Certainly you would want to get the military juiced up to reduce our ability to defend the take over:

And the police can be replaced by Afghan refugees, you would think:

All we can hope for is that the resistance to this thinning of the herd picks up speed before they simply round up the unvaccinated and “isolate” them for “safety”. It’s only one small step for humankind once the ghettos (FEMA Camps) are full to a “Final Solution”. Oh, no, that can’t happen here! BULLSHIT!
“….but to normalize the whole mess for the youngsters, who had better believe that this is absolutely the “new normal” for the rest of their lives. And what’ya know? They seem to be taking to it just fine from what I’ve seen. Poor bastards!” ~ Disaffected
Youngsters “taking to it just fine” because they take their cues from their parents.
Ah, the fear, cowardice & beliefs they’re born into – poor bastards indeed!
My sons – late teens, tomorrow’s fearless young lions – will have none of it – I give them different cues.
You cannot underestimate the power of the public school system and peer pressure on the youth Ron, for they have been resisting or accepting government programming since we turned them over to the school systems. As you watch the percentages of the different groups who comply with the lying scum at the top, you will find that a huge percentage of teachers buy into it:
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/04/nyregion/vaccine-mandate-teachers-nyc.html
96% of teachers in NYC, compare that to law enforcement:

You’re speaking of, arguably, the single most important consideration of this moment; what is the purpose of this vaccine madness?
I believe that we can rule out profits except in the minds of the bit players.
Apparently, lethal injection is or will be the “final solution”.
So, how are they going to do it? And WHEN?
~toktomi~
All this could be a simple Beta test as part of “The Great Reset” just to see if they have the power within the CIA controlled MSM, politicians from county to federal levels, getting the military woke and ready, getting major medical establishment and cowardly doctors on board etc.
How many complied with masks, lockdowns, closing businesses etc. and how quickly? How many millions are unjabbed refuseniks and not just hesitant?
We can believe they have all these statistics gathered to see how their CONTROL plan is panning out. Pretty good on the coasts. Not to hot in the south.
Here is one example of how the Mockingbird CIA media are treating any politicians who are balking at making jabs mandatory for 5 year olds and up:

All these control freaks (because they are all actually freaks) need to be put in their places by the American people and fast.

Karl Denninger of http://www.Market-Ticker.org/nad is one of the best sites on the Corona-Dissident Internet.

Don’t go close the Saker blog then. He’s gone totally meltdown crazy with his anti anti-vaxx bullshit. I’m totally fed up with that site now.
Wow.
The Saker: “I have banned the topic of COVID from the blog.”
[quote from The Saker's list of rules for commenting]
18) I am banning any comments which mention, even indirectly, the medical aspects of SARS-COV-2/COVID19 including, but not limited to: origin, prevention, effects on health, treatments and putative “non-existence” (including the “its just like the flu” kind). However, I am specifically ALLOWING comments about the political, ideological, social and economic aspects of SARS-COV-2/COVID19. Any attempt to “smartass & bypass” this ban will result with an immediate removal from the infringing comment. A second attempt will result in a permanent ban. The “Cafe exception” has now been canceled and this rule applies to the entire blog!
19) New! Okay, I am fed up with all this idiotic “there is no pandemic” nonsense. So, from now on, any post denying that there is a pandemic will be removed and its author banned.
[end quote from The Saker]
— This is a strange position and I am not familiar enough with The Saker (having read him only occasionally) to guess what might motivate this. Any ideas?
Lots of speculation. I didn’t want to think this at first, but I think he got a call from “some of the boys up Langely way who shall not be named” to advise him that living in FL and posting an avidly pro-Russian blog might put him in a bit of “a predicament” with the US authorities and that his editorial policies regarding Covid might in some small way help his legal standing if push were ever to come to shove. He insists otherwise, but what else would he do in that case?
And he goes WAY overboard in enforcing these new edicts, to the point in interceding in comments with denigrating and humiliating comments toward anyone who even comes close to violating them and invitations to go elsewhere. Totally condescending bullshit.
A. Karlin is another Russian who has completely failed on the topic of WuFlu and is no longer worth reading.
I think it’s because he prefers to discuss international politics and the talk about the virus/pandemic/vaccine, etc was taking over the comments.
I haven’t been there in a while, but it is a good place to find out what’s going on in other countries besides the US.
I only occasionally read him on Unz and I notice he hasn’t been there lately. I don’t think people who comment there would put up with his “rules”.
Guy appears to be a typical nmalignant arcissist. Has a little cult following on the Interwebz and no one can challenge the narrative, despite him running a site that he would say has intellectual underpinnings and should, by its nature, be a place for discussion.
A frothing, over the top reaction such as this really just says that he is insecure in his position, and likely afraid he made the wrong one. My advice would be to visit regularly and heckle him mercilessly.
That should say that he is afraid he made the wrong decision.
You left out the part where he wishes us unmodifieds a “shitty life”.
…and not a month later he’s begging for funds.
He’s Russian. I think he’s on our side. By disavowing the science talk he can get to the real issues without provoking the nanny state.
Or rather, without provoking the beast.
Imma head over and take a look.

“speaking of malicious dishonesty, the Market Ticker guy offers proof of that “UP AND DOWN THE LINE FROM BIDEN TO FAUCI TO THE CDC AND THE NIH AND FDA AND EXTENDS TO EVERY SINGLE ******* IN THE MEDIA CLAIMING THIS IS A PANDEMIC OF THE “UNVACCINATED”; THEY ARE ALL — EVERY ONE OF THEM — LYING THROUGH THEIR TEETH AND MUST PAY FOR WHAT THEY’VE DONE.”
Right!!
And Market-Ticker also has a post up that bears reading in full, on the current crash in supply lines:
“Supply Collapse–Inevitable?”
“https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=243788
He starts out
“There is data out there at this point that says it is now taking roughly a month for a ship to be able to dock and offload its cargo — an unthinkable concept just a year or two ago.
Sure, there were strikes by longshoreman and various other events, but this is not that.
This is from mandates and the impact they’re having.”
One of the commenters provides this 15th C ditty:
” “For Want of a Nail”, which is centuries old (1400s).
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.”
In a “global” world small disruptions can magnify quickly.

Hi Jim: I’ve noticed that many readers like to quote particular zingers in your blog. One of my favorites is from last year when the lockdowns began and you wrote “During wars they still kept the bars open”. Could we somehow submit/organize the Top 10 Kunstler Kwotes of 2021?
Imagine in last week’s staged vaccine booster shot for Joe Biden, that it was VP Harris administering the shot and Old Joe dies the next day. BTW why didn’t they have Dr. Jill give him the shot? She’s a real doctor they say.
‘a real doctor of education, I believe.
Old Joe’s injection was as phony as that stage scenery behind him.

Greetings,
For quite some time, people have offered up their dystopian novel of choice to describe what is happening. Is it a drug-fueled utopia like Brave New World? Is it that boot stomping on your face forever like 1984? Is it an illiterate, cartoon-loving world like Farenheit 451?
Nope – it is Atlas Shrugged for the win!
See, useless Kens and Karens – people that have NEVER in their lives produced anything of value, switched the economy off and on like a light switch because they are drunk with power and wanted to punish us for not doing exactly as they wish. Only in Atlas Shrugged can you find such useless people.
When shutting down our businesses wasn’t enough, they paid our workers more to stay home instead of produce things. Only in Atlas Shrugged can you find such madness.
Now these Karens are demanding that we fire our critical workers and do so for entirely ridiculous reasons. Only in Atlas Shrugged will you read about such stupidity.
In all the other dystopian novel, at least they managed to keep the lights on and the trains running.
Atlas Shrugged for the win!
Going Galt looks like a better and better option for any sane people that have any modicum of productive skill.
Ayn Rand, unlike the other authors, offers us a solution to the problem and that is Going Galt. The producers will have to withdraw their support for the failing system and band together among themselves. It won’t be easy but it is our only way out of this terrible situation.
I know that people refer to me as “Noah” behind my back because of all the warnings I’ve dished out over the years while I build my Ark. My warnings always include a plea for the listener to acquire tools, skills and a bit of land. Sadly, skills, tools, and land sound like hard work and why work hard when the markets only go up, when Bitcoin only goes up, and when homes and collectibles only go up? I look like the biggest fool in the world to these people as I sit here surrounded by tools.
The problem that will face the producers is that of all the people that drank the Kool-aid. How will we deal with all the zombies?
When the internet goes down for the last time and even the electricity sputters, how many bushels of corn will a bitcoin buy?
I could never understand where the value of bitcoin comes from.
BRH-
BTC proponents like to claim the, “value,” comes from the, “work,” done to solve the mathematical puzzle to, “mine,” coins.
Okay…except as far as I can tell the puzzle is just that. It’s not like processing SETI or folding protein data.
They also like to claim the, “value,” originates from the requirement that transactions get validated by a certain %age of clients.
The topic of crypto Bitcoin is complex because its technology and economic transvaluation is unprecedented.
Bitcoin saves electricity contrasted with the global fiat system.
Bitcoin is decentralized, meaning TPTB are impotent in their attempts (and there have been ongoing attempts since its inception) to control or abolish it.
Bitcoin, like historical gold, was first a collectible, then (like Bitcoin now) a store of value, and eventually a means of economic transaction (happening, in localized ways, already).
Electricity — meaning, here, the internet — won’t “go down for the last time”, especially if/when global depopulation frees up more electricity re demand destruction.
Clearly, Soul F., you don’t join JHK in foreseeing a world made by hand where we all take a technological step backwards.
I don’t know what will happen, neither do you.
Predictions are very tricky, especially when they involve the future. (As the great sage said)
hmuller,
Both can happen at the same time. WMBH, plus a greater span of independence for those who create an economic and information community away from TPTB, even though it’s harder going.
Yes, no one has a crystal ball. It’s fun (or exasperating) to speculate, but I’m neither a wholesale cynical doomer OR a utopian.
Most will go under, but I believe that many will not only survive, but thrive.
“I know that people refer to me as “Noah” behind my back”
Nickel,
I wish that comments behind my back were as benign.

The power won’t go out all the way it will be a series of brownouts or sags then out for an hour.
The outages will increase and the lengths of time will increase till having power say eight hours out of the 24 will be normal like in South Africa.
Water rationing will also start since it takes power to make the pumps push the water.
Gas will stop being dispensed since that takes water so will cooking and restaurants.
Everything revolves around electricity.

I read The Fountainhead and We, the Living, and got halfway through Atlas Shrugged before quitting Ayn Rand. I think her novels are tedious, at best. Her Objectivist philosophy is a toy, imo.
A producer would understand it – everyone else, not so much.
As novels, their didactic pulpit-pounding and aesthetic clunkiness makes the reading tedious indeed. Rand should’ve stuck to philosophical essays.
Agreed.
IMHO, Rand was a very poor writer, from the standpoint of cratsmanship. Her characterization is particularly poor and winds up being a continual irritant when trying to read her works. They are all two-dimensional, speak in a stilted way, and often behave in ways that are not very believable, let along relatable.
On the “ideas/ideals” front, she makes many good points. But, to me at least, they are presented in such a brittle way, that they don’t really resonate. Maybe some of this is just my temperamental makeup; I am not much moved by railroads and steel mills. The characters’ lack of a human dimension is disturbing. Without it, their focus on industrial stuff comes out, by default, making their motivations seem suspect. There is no real reason to think they are motivated by pure pride and greed, for example. Creative people in any medium can become a little OCD. It’s just that, without a human dimension to them, they don’t come across as being motivated by relatable goodness and virtue.
I love Atlas Shrugged. I loved all of her books including her non fiction “The Virtue of Selfishness.” Also her play “The Night of January 16th. The play is performed and twelve members of the jury are selected to make the final judgment whether the person is guilty or not guilty. Rand wrote two endings. Great stuff. I just don’t believe in her objectivist philosophy but like her brilliance in literature and ideas.
I read Atlas Shrugged earlier this year while I was in quarantine with sniffles from C-19. I’m about to have some surgery and need reading recommendations for a week or two.
If you haven’t already, you might read Thomas Wolfe’s You Can’t Go Home Again.
I finally got around to reading it in 2008 or so, and I was shocked at how relevant it still was.

Thank you Beryl and JT.
I’ve read WMBH series, also The Long Emergency (3-4 times actually).
I wish we knew more about the chaotic times of collapse between the present and the times described in WMBH. So many questions and unknowns: civil war on a national level? smaller skirmishes between states/regions? China’s actions and ambitions? A lot of turbulence ahead.

If one already has a vision of the gist of the story around us, then one might just as well skip to “Patriots” by James Wesley Rawles.
Basic Tenet of Life #1
The meaning of life is simple. It is merely staying alive.
Although, that tenet may have recently been superseded by this.
Human life will go extinct. [Missed that in the bible?]
~toktomi~
Staying alive means to minimize diversity. Sheesh. Will you please integrate?
Well, since you mentioned Carmac McCarthy, there’s “Blood Meridian.” Yeah, I know it’s in the past, but the past may be ‘prologue to the swelling act?’
I’m re-reading Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn. Also The Art of War by Machiavelli and Paradigm by Jonathan Cahn.
C.O.: I learned something today. I thought for sure you were mistaken when you attributed “The Art of War” to Machiavelli.
I have a copy of “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu…..which predates Machiavelli by millennia.
Thanks for the info….I’ll check it out.
M had to know about Sun Tzu….wonder why he chose the same title??????
Hardrock: I’m sure Niccolo was familiar with the work by Sun Tzu and I think he used it as an inspiration. I’m not yet halfway thru Machiavelli’s treatise – it’s not light reading by any stretch – but my take so far is “here’s how to get your opponent to destroy themselves without having to lift anything heavier than a pen.”
Or, if you like “Here’s how I would do it” with the same title.
Sun Tzu was more visceral, Machiavelli more cerebral.
My impression may change as I progress the the book but it’s fascinating reading.
Well, the neo-con Jonah Goldberg stole the title of his second-rate book, “Suicide of the West” from a first-rate previous book by James Burnham. Did he do it out of spite? That would be my guess.
Marco Polo probably brought it back and who the hell else but the Mach would have read it in those days apart from a few dusty monks whispering in the ear of Sancta Papa.
The Cancer Ward by Solzhenitsyn is excellent. And Cervantes Don Quixote is required reading.
Shakespeare’s King Lear and Macbeth are obvious choices, but for what’s happening today, his much underrated Timon of Athens is essential reading.
Don’t believe all the idiot critics who dump on the character of Timon. They don’t get the play at all.
I only read Don Quixote about four or five years ago. I cannot remember the name of the translator (some say it was more of a team) but i was, I think, from the earlier years of the 18th Century. It was one of the funniest books I ever read. This sentence sticks in my mind as it occurred frequently:
“They looked at the knight in astonishment.”
It had a surprisingly contemporary feel to it, except they were much saner then, even the Don.
I like the musical.

Black black humour.
No storytelling in the comics that I’ve read as a kid can come even close to the supernatural powers of the “heroes” in the “Atlas”.
Only obedient few of “us” or 90% of humanity were allowed to be part in the life of protagonists in the book. Even then they are scolded by the Rand as useless parasites sucking on the talent and glory of the captains of the industry or, as called today, “job creators”. They are a suspiciously omitted as major work force at the end, in the building the compound in the Rockies, and reader was left with impression that “you-know-who” had built it, all half a dozen of them.
Piss over “Robin Hood” was a special touch.
Childish work of fiction but covert work of propaganda, yet became the literary guiding light for “Rearden-wanna-bees” in this country.

Producers can’t produce if the boss says No. They can’t produce without supplies. They can’t produce without energy. And it only takes one order from on high to shut the whole thing down.

And growing tomatoes in your backyard ain’t gonna keep you alive very long.

And writing his novel on cigarette paper, match books, wow.
But where is our own John Galt, and where is the hidden valley where productive people can gather to live a free and worthwhile life? Sadly, Any Rand, herself the victim of marxist rulers in Russia, saw exactly what was in store for America and issued her warnings. Her most stark warning was her movie, “We the Living”, based on her life under communist dictatorship. Atlas Shrugged was published in 1957, but apparently, our politicians and military brass never became familiar with the book and its warnings, or they ignored its lessons.

You’re not kidding about those supply shortages. I went to Home Depot yesterday to get some 24″ LED fixtures. You know, the basic ones that they usually have 10,000 of in stock. Zero. Many bare shelves. $hit’s getting real.
Couldn’t find any — not one container! — of French’s Yellow Mustard at Safeway yesterday. Went with store brand. Woe is me!
The right mustard is critical to happiness and quality of life.
No two ways about it.
Ice cream is in short supply for months now. Five bucks for half a pint of lousy, dried out blueberries. Good thing I rarely eat meat too!
For years I bought PUR water filters for about $6.50. Now they’re $20 each. I thought it was a mistake. No, they tripled in price. I’m debating whether to buy at this price.
Inglehoffer. It’s the right mustard.
I scored a superb yellow mustard at a dollar store. Few ingredients, one of them being tumeric. I give thanks to God every time I use it.
Mix tumeric with mustard powder and water. Done.
Oh, and vinegar.

We called ’em pike poles. I got me one of those too. They switched to fiberglass so I took home a nice 10 ft ash handled piece. Kinda like this one.

First of all, no Charmin at Costco. Got the Kirkland brand instead. At the local grocery store, lots of holes in the shelves and freezer. Made me think of the former Soviet Union where the grocery stores looked similar back in the day.
I’m already bugging the grandkids about what they want for Christmas and I also tell them if they want “cash”, that works too. My stepsons are in HVAC and they tell me it is really hard to get parts. Some folks are simply replacing systems because they can’t get parts to fix the old system. An expensive remedy, no doubt.
I’ve promised my youngest kid an apple for Xmas. I think he’s expecting something a bit different from what he’ll actually get. For his birthday, it will be an eggbox rather than an Xbox.
“First of all, no Charmin at Costco. Got the Kirkland brand instead.”
Is this the ultimate ‘first world problem’? Shit paper is shit paper, the brand meaning zilch.
Um, actually, no. You ever tried Kirkland brand TP?
As per usual you are wrong.
Get the bargain basement single ply no name brand and while you are sandpapering off the cling-ons you still manage to poke a finger through through the strangely rough tissue paper.
Now get the Charmin variety soft absorbent and stout enough to clog lessor plumbing.
Its like eating rat and then grass fed filet mignon.
Riding in a lowered mini truck and going for a cruise in a Rolls Royce.
With that said no toilet paper?
Get cheap cloth wash clothes and take a shower with lots of soap.

I recently bought a new car because I heard of the supply problems that are expected to last through 2023 — just about long enough to tether everyone to going a couple hundred miles before they need a 14-hour charge for their “Earth-saving” electric cars. My existing car is fine, but it’s also 13 years old and parts will probably be a problem reasonably soon. Also, getting a loan will be hard soon because of the Fed’s idiocy and the increasing effects of ESG scores on consumer loans going forward — not to mention the ridiculous inflation of car prices (about a grand a month where I live).
Not shifting rotate, ice cream-gobbling dotard.
Interesting. I recently bought a new car for the same reason. I also considered that as the dollar goes down in value, better to by now. My car was fine, also 13 years old, over 100K miles. I bought a hybrid thinking that might help a little bit.
No sweet onions at Kings (Kroger) yesterday. No sweet onions!!!
60 container ships full of sweet onions, now rotting in the holds.
No strawberries at Sam’s yesterday. Oh, no! No strawberry pie! We’ll have to have lemon meringue instead. Surprisingly, I got everything else on my list including 3 bottles of magnesium, which treats my restless legs, and 3 bottles of 5000 IU D3. I am anticipating we will be running out of supplies of such items before too long, not to mention prescription pharmaceuticals. My large order for N-acetyl cysteine has arrived (that stuff is cheap). I started that originally for elevation. I’d heard of its anti-cancer properties, though I didn’t put much stock in that. However, to my surprise, it seems to be shrinking a hard tumor I’ve been ignoring that was growing slowly but inexorably. from my skin. It is now less than 1/4th its former size and smaller every day. Cancer? Probably. Almost everyone in my family died from cancer. I did get 20 lbs of enormous yellow onions. I’m going to caramelize them and make onion jam and canned onions. That will perk things up if fresh are not available.
Rats off a sinking ship. This sucker’s going DOWN!!!
Seems so, Dis. SloJoe’s peeps calling an early lid today and an early lid for Americans for the year. When hunger and cold set in, it will be so much harder to resist. Soldiers and police officers will be far less likely to join us when their own security depends on sticking with the bad guys.

Best to stock up on a bicycle, but then again those are hard to find in the marketplace these days too!
I was looking for a lawn mower last week Cowbell; nobody had any, finally located a cheapy at a small hardware store 3 towns from here. This will at least get me thru till the end of the season (about a month from now) All that was available were electric lawn mowers nobody wants still sitting on the shelf. My old one, a Honda, lasted about 10 years. The engine is still good but the frame itself cracked in half due to hard use and fatigue.
-Marlin, xHe, xxHim
I’d consider looking for another frame. Those older Honda engines are built rather well. 20+ years on one here.
Marlin, Keep that Honda engine. Or trade me for something.
I’ll bring it up. You can have it.
I use a manual. Of course I’m not a wealthy landowner like you what with your green acres.
I see other poor people with tiny plots using gasoline mowers. It’s a status symbol. They want to rise up on the Pyramid.
BRH: to paraphrase the old adage: I complained I had no lawn mower until I met a man who had no lawn.
Lol
Why not take it to a welder and have the frame welded back together?

If you happen to live in North Florida (Red Hills area) I have two Bianchi from the mid 1980’s. Ishiwata chromoly. Might even part with my spare, a Specialized, aluminum. Holding onto my Serotta ti-carbon for use when there is no more auto/truck traffic and before the roads become impassable.
I have been doing the rounds of the bike shops around here (Granada area in Spain) and one of them told me that he can’t get any new bikes until at least Jan next year. How is he going to survive without selling any bikes at Christmas, or before.
Decathlon will be the only bike store left soon. Not that they have almost any bikes either, only two models available out of about twelve ‘gravel’ bikes. Only on the internet too, and although one of those models was the one I wanted, it took about a fortnight to come in, from when I decided on it.
They and Amazon of course.
It seemed a shame to me to not go to a local bike shop, but they don’t seem to want the business, it seemed to me. I have been out of cycling for about six years and it all seems to have changed.
End petrol in 3 years, heh! I spent 20 minutes of my Saturday plodding along behind a ’62 Chevy pickup towing a trailer made from the bed of another ’62 Chevy pickup, and it was literally exhaling gasoline fumes. This is the outskirts of Los Angeles.

Reminds me of “The Gods of the Copybook Headings” by Kipling:
AS I PASS through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.
We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.
There’s a few more stanzas….http://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/poems_copybook.htm

Inflation in the USA is running at 5%+ for six months running (next announcement, Oct. 13th, covering Sept 2021).
The last time inflation was this high in the US on a six-month sustained basis:
Much of the period of early 1989 to mid 1991. (FED Chairman Volcker had “whipped” dogged high inflation in the early 1980s, but it briefly came back to the 5%+ level in line with the early ’90s recession.)
The next time inflation came close to current levels was just ahead of the so-called Great Recession. Inflation stood above or near 4% from Nov 2007 to Sept 2008, but only briefly poked above 5% in June-July-Aug 2008, in line with the gasoline price spike. And now oil has pushed above $80/barrel again.
Hmm….
Who needs gummint inflation numbers? Haven’t they changed the formula repeatedly in order to fudge results that serve themselves? Everybody sees and feels the real thing.
RE: JTinMD
“Who needs gummint inflation numbers?”
If you prefer, you can consult

He claims the government CPI inflation data was “fudged” in a systemic way starting in the 1990s. At that link you can see tThe government official inflation (red line, the numbers I referred to) vs. his alternate measure (blue line).
In either case, the 2021 inflation rate equals the 2008 pre-Great Recession rate, except that 2021 looks to be more sustained and possibly somewhat higher than 2008’s, whatever exact number we want to peg them as.
EH: You’re a bit faster on the keyboard than me!

(September 14) CPI INFLATION – The August 2021 Annual CPI-U gained a softer than expected 5.3% month-to-month, minimally backing off its 13-year high annual inflation rate of 5.4% in both June and July, otherwise at a 13-year high annual inflation rate, similarly with the “Core” CPI-U at 4.00%, otherwise still at a 30-year high, June and July excepted. (Bureau of Labor Statistics – BLS).
Year-to-Year August 2021 ShadowStats Alternate CPI Annual Inflation (1980 Base) declined to 13.2% from 13.4% in June and July, which then also matched the prior 13.4% peak in July 2008, otherwise against a 13.4% peak in June 1980.

“Nonetheless, the quality of government reporting has deteriorated sharply in the last couple of decades. Reporting problems have included methodological changes to economic reporting that have pushed headline economic and inflation results out of the realm of real-world or common experience.”

I think JHK has said Trump is a con-artist or showboat and not worthy of a serious country, or words to that effect, but still grudgingly supported him in 2020. Not as pro-Trump but as anti-anti-Trump. (Everyone knows Trump is something of a con-man; even his supporters.)
What, maybe there are three or four who aren’t sleazy con-artists?
Trump was a businessman, a real estate developer in the most corrupt city of the world. He had to deal with the mafia, the gangs and the most corrupt governance and judiciary in this country.
He was successful, just with that statement means he left a cadre of enemies behind as he moved up the power ladder. I notice that so far, the only judicial damage done to him is a bunch of wet-dreams from the nutty side of the media.
All the antiTrumpers are total products of the MSM believing all the lies propagated against him by the Leftist wienies in the country. You are the products of the greatest smear campaign in history. I always noticed that Trump’s retorts through Twitter were in a defensive mode. Someone took a shot at him and he fired back.
He was the ONLY person in the last forty years that knew what damage was being done by the Leftist deluge, the Deep State, and tried to go to war against them. He lost because he was so terribly outnumbered, but I am hoping that the continued failure of the Deep State in every facet of our discussions will resurrect Donny or an identical substitute. If no, 2022 and 2024, the Republican America is going away, deluged by millions of gimme artists.
Wayne Barrett made a career out of finding the dirt on Donald Trump, but he couldn’t seem to find any actual criminal wrongdoing, perhaps just some unethical behavior he was allowed to get away with by city government and other political ties.
As he himself put it, “Even I was surprised by how clean I am”.
JAZ-
Your first paragraph is exactly why Trump’s behavior mystified me so much.
He dealt with all the corruption in real estate and media for *decades* in NYC.
Suddenly, he’s elected president and magically reverts to, “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” mode?
He really thought the Swamp was going to fight fair and deal with him in good faith?
It simply does not compute.
He was able to make deals with all kinds of slime balls because he understood that you have to give something to get something, and so did they.
He didn’t understand that the Swamp in DC was a whole other level of sliminess.
I think he really expected people such as Mitch McConnell to have a modicum of patriotism.
He’s pushing the Vax now. It’s probably why he isn’t under more fire than he is. That’s after throwing his supporters under the bus on 1/6.
“He was the ONLY person in the last forty years that knew what damage was being done by the Leftist deluge, the Deep State, and tried to go to war against them.”
The ONLY one? I very much doubt that, JohnAZ. In fact, I’d bet he didn’t give an actual f*** about any of that before he accidentally got elected. Even then, his Minders (Bannon, Miller et al) ran the policy show, not the Beknighted Flim-Flam Man from Queens.
You seem to underestimate Americans’ frustration over being bossed around by arrogant assholes with degrees from Ivy League schools but without a gram of common sense or desire to leave things that work alone (e.g., two sexes rather than 463 fluid “genders”). No, the important thing is to drag the troglodytes into the bright future afforded only by Marxism — even though it has failed everywhere (with the exception of enslaving the masses for the benefit of the few — ironically, since that’s the opposite of how the Fascists, Bolsheviks, Nazis, ChiComms, and other Marxist utopians pitched their revolutions to the people). Of course, THIS TIME it will work, because THIS TIME it’ll be led by THE RIGHT PEOPLE. And everyone will be equal, but some will be more equal than others, right tovarisch?

I’ll see your morass of miasmatic perfidious bullshit and raise you two fetid exudations of institutional rot.
Speaking of miasmatic perfidious bullshit I just learned that a family from whom we happen to buy fresh eggs (store bought do not come close) in our tiny town all came down with covid. This includes the wife’s mother (hope it’s not too offensive to use words like “wife” or “mother”). They were vaccinated. The mother is recovering well following monoclonal antibody infusion.
Correction. Just got a text from my wife (ach! that word again!) and the family was NOT vaccinated. They live on a farm, homeschool, and I gather don’t get around too much anymore. Maybe a bat bit a chicken?
Nevertheless we must tell the truth, as it will set us free.
Paula D– they are not all elderly. That’s much of the problem. It’s a debit extending indefinitely into the future.
Fitts is great, been following her for years, but alas, she is in danger of becoming a broken record. Does she “engineer” her breakfast?
Whitney Webb is 1st rate. I’m surprised she is still alive, but she has not yet achieved Assange rank.
The epidemiology of this virus has never made sense.
A guy eats a bat in China in December and two months later nursing home patients in Washington state start dying?
And then it goes to nursing homes in New York?
And then it dies out in the summer, as respiratory viruses do, but the Second Wave arrives, as predicted, just in time to scare Americans into lining up for the jab. The Second Wave is said to have started in the UK, and the first one who fell to it in the US is some dude in Colorado, who never left his town?
And then India, who was untouched for over a year, come up with the Delta variant, and the US sits over here ramping up the fear, but not shutting down air travel from India?
And then this last summer, for the first time in human history, a respiratory virus spreads throughout the summer? And it especially targets people in resistant states like Florida, Texas and South Dakota? Oh, and children who were pretty much unaffected by the virus, up until Summer, 2021? Just in time for the jabs for kids?
How the hell does a family out in Podunk Wherever you live manage to all come down with the covid? I know many people whose family members got sick, but they didn’t. Must be a new “variant” spreading just in time for the Final Push to get the resisters jabbed.
Maybe it’s the Mu variant. They didn’t even bother to come up with a creation story for that one. Why bother, when it turns out the vast majority of Americans are blithering idiots who believe anything? No, the Mu spontaneously generated in 30 countries, at the same time. And it will be presented with fanfare when they want to explain away a more lethal disease sweeping through resistant states (while leaving thousands of homeless people living in squalor on the streets untouched).
Oh, and it’s especially killing off natives on reservations. Because, you know, there’s a lot of international travel between China and the rez.
Not all, though, just the ones in the Dakotas that live over pipelines and shale, and the ones in Arizona who live over uranium.
Point well taken about the homeless. Talk about a control group that should by now be extinct.
Maybe they are not susceptible owing to their lifestyle (drugs, malnutrition) sort of like the wino in The Andromeda Strain (whose elixer of choice was Sterno, which rendered the virus inoperable for some reason I can’t recall).
It’s difficult not to at least entertain the notion that there is perhaps an attempt with covid to save medicare/medicaid by eliminating a particularly needful population (obese, diabetic, etc etc). And helping out social security too. — although Denninger points out that SSA is doing OK. The homeless don’t make too many demands I imagine on medicaid — unlike the sad enlarged specimens being wheeled into the cardiologist’s waiting room for their quarterly checkup.
They want the pension/Social Security funds, for sure.
I posted a video last week of a dude 2 years ago tying in Extinction Rebellion with the pension fund grab. He claimed there was some trillions to be stolen.
And shortly thereafter came the Covid.
I think that giving them credit for trying to “save” Medicare is too kind to them. The medical-industrial complex is 19% of the economy and most of it, as you point out, is spent on wheeling obese elderly people from radiology to infusion centers to hospital beds. I’m pretty sure that our ruling overlords have decided to stop all that.
Here’s another interesting video, with two of the smartest people around, Whitney Webb and Catherine Austin Fitts, connecting some dots.

Across the political and demographic spectrum, Americans wonder not if the “American Moment” has passed but whether the United States will survive President Joe Biden’s dismantling of the country.
Biden demonstrates an attitude toward our nation that is, at best, ambivalence, and, at worst, a dangerous disaffection that seems at times like hatred. We have seen our understanding of who we are in the world riven under the disapprobation of a hard-left political vision that seeks to eliminate any vestige of U.S. history.
The current attack on American values and history began decades ago, but the existential emasculation that has produced extreme chasms between Americans has only recently been revealed.
It came to the forefront during the first presidential campaign of former President Barack Obama and persisted throughout his eight years in the Oval Office. His vision of “hope and change” was a hope that American individualism would be replaced with European-style collectivism and a change to a globalist system that featured Marxist economics.
The Obama administration did not like America.

Bitcoin can NOT be taxed. It is decentralized.
Even were this possible, smart Bitcoiners hold on to their Bitcoin assets, meaning they couldn’t be taxed on it anyway since they don’t spend it.
Etherium, and other cryptos and alt-coins, are a different story. They’re all going down, or will be devalued into the equivalent of junk futures.
Anything can be taxed. If the government makes it illegal with a 25 year penalty and confiscation to own undeclared bitcoin or similar people will fold real quick. Particularly when they declare all your assets subject to seizure as the proceeds of crime. Plus of course a snitch line with a 10 percent reward for your family member, friend, boss.
The line will be, undeclared electronic currencies are funding crime and terrorism and Congress will pass it in a heartbeat.
Trean,
I’ve spent over two hundred hours going down the Bitcoin rabbit hole. The people who write these panic Bitcoin articles get their info either from doomer sites or MSM-backed economics sites/news feeds. IOW, they know fuck all about the topic.
Once again, Bitcoin’s decentralized. TPTB know nothing about anyone on it (nor does anybody else, including those who transact with it.). I’m not talking about specific transactions, I mean they don’t know identities, let alone amounts in anyone’s hardware wallets. It’s been unhackable for the 12 years since its inception, and its efficacy and safety have been getting exponentially better every day.
What about monero, pirate chain and dero. They too are decentralized, ‘privacy’ coins that would be hard to tract by any gubmint thug group. The irs apparently put out a bounty to break into (for the lack of a better word) monero, and so far, no one has. Hopefully that will remain so.
SF: they know who’s got bitcoin. When they grab them by the gonads, they’ll pay tax alright.
They DON’T know.
Back up your assertion with facts.
The only way gubmint can know is if one is naive enough to keep their purchased crypto on the exchanges, which can be coerced by gubmint. If you have a private wallet no one can know unless you let them. Esp if its a hard wallet.
I was recently reading about the negative effects of sanctions on the most vulnerable members of a society, when it occurred to me that we as a country have been placed under economic sanctions by our own government.
Not my government.
No matter who you are or where you were born, you have been assigned a government.
And if not, you will never participate.
And if you think you will avoid participating, think again.
They always have you.

Right, there isn’t an opt out button. Hasn’t been one for at least a couple centuries. Still, I say “not my government.”
You can’t kill an idea.
Good point Beryl.
People in New England are worried about their ability to keep warm this winter, what with the Biden Administraton driving up the cost of No 2 heating oil, and Natural Gas.
Considering the main differences between No 2 heating oil and diesel are red dye vs road taxes, lots of other costs will also rise.
BRH
In 1973, we were living in Newport, RI in the navy. I remember what happened with the inflation of that period and the oil squeeze OPEC put on the US.
One big problem is the dipstick young people do not understand how bad this is going to get and like Europe is discovering right now, how bad an oil and gas shortage can be. Add on the ignorant immigrants who do not have a clue what a shortage will look like as they have never had the resources in the first place.
My prediction for next year is pretty darn pessimistic. IMHO, the demographic shifts in this country and the stupidity of the youngest generation will lock in the Democratic Party, especially the Progressives. Once the gimmes are in control, they will suck America dry, and in short order as the productive folks are going to abandon ship.
2024 or maybe 2026, the great delusion is going to hit and maybe the millions of immigrants will have to take their gimme attitudes elsewhere. They will find out that there is no other place to go.
In the meantime, Panama says another 60000 Haitians are on their way, Jo Jo and Heels up are ecstatic.
@John
I would suggest that the overwhelming majority of “people do not understand how bad this is going to get”; not you, not me, virtually nobody.
I can’t even imagine what I have long prayed for and worked for, an opportunity to return to stone age existence.
~toktomi~
At least they had small government in the stone age.
Perhaps a silver lining?
The Third-Worlders arriving daily have much more appropriate experience for the new world of hardship and deprivation that’s barreling down the tracks. Maybe we could learn a thing or two! 😉
Alexandra on English pensioners freezing to death: It’s an issue.
In other words, as long as colored immigrants are warm, the issue is on the permanent back burner.
Ah, if only the frackers hadn’t spent the last 20 years flaring off all that natural gas.
Oh well, hindsight is 20/20
This sounds extraordinarily familiar, Marlin. One of your perennial grizzles, in fact. Has it not ever been thus?
Great powers throughout history have lifecycle. There is the rise, the peak, and the decline. We are in the decline, and in the decline, you don’t produce good leadership. I suspect that most of the people on this blog are like me. We were fortunate to live when we did. Personally i saw America at its peak when it I was a boy. The decline is hard to watch but inevitable.
The last act of a Great nation is the looting of its treasury.
You are here.

My dad was born in 1946. My Mom in ’47. Rural Saskatchewan.
They turned 76 & 75 in July. They had the absolute most luxurious run for average Joes ever. Almost all of mankind eeked out a bare subsistence for 30 or 40 years yet Mom & Dad flew to Hawaii and back several times on mid-level government jobs.
1946-2021 was no picnic but it was compared to the immediate future.
Who is the doctor? This Yeadon?
I Believe that it is Dr Michael Yeadon.
He is British. He was decades in Big Pharma including 17 years at Pfizer where he became a Vice President of that firm.
He later had much success running his own BioMed company.
Dr Yeadon has been a well-publicized opponent to these mass vaccinations throughout all of 2021. His interviews have been posted many times here on CFN.

When you get tapped, just follow. God speed, boyo.
Yes, growing up in the 1960s and 1970s to me was great.
The roots of what is occurring right now occurred in those 60s and 70s. The Progressive movement started with the Civil Rights movements, and the anti war movement. They got their aims, the Civil Rights Acts and the end of Viet Nam, but just kept going with their destruction of America.
Ask your Liberal friends what they see as the future structure of America. They do not have a clue. All they want is Progressive change to keep happening and do not have any goals to pursue.
The picture of Jane Fonda on the anti aircraft battery in Viet Nam still wells up deep anger in me.
John,
I too share the outrage. I have been long-prepared to forgive Jane her excesses…as soon as the Jews forgive Hitler….
Changing immigration laws happened about the same time as well.
The backlash is always worse—like paying for what you did with huge interest.
Blacks were discriminated against. Attitudes take years to change, yes, but after 1945 especially, Federal and State governments should have removed a legal barriers. It took 20 years.
The Vietnam war was a bright shining lie.
Both these events corroded much of middle of the ground, middle America’s trust of government in particular, and institutions in general.
The thing is, while I too despise the government, governments in general, absent a watch dog government, unfettered laissez-faire leads ultimately to feudalism, or the law of the jungle, or a dictatorship or communism, if one entity can dominate the others. Eventually it collapses and cycle repeats.
So we need some government.
And it appears we are headed in the direction of feudalism with a modern face, or state control, where it will be difficult for “ordinary folks” to live freely.
The founding fathers, extremely well read and intelligent, working on a largely blank canvas called America, recognized all this.
They came up with a divided limited government, that none the less, would keep any private interest(s) from getting too powerful.
To a significant extent, that depended on courts, Congress, states, counties, and individuals and families, and churches, zealously guarding their prerogatives; not trading them for convenience.
Yes, Liberalism became Socialism became our version of Communism, Political Correctness – and now it’s gone kinetic as Wokeism.
John AZ,
How old is that Fonda woman? I think one day she is just going to shrivel and melt like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz. That one piece of connective tissue she has left is finally going to snap like a fresh green bean. She will just be a grease stain somewhere. She should have been charged with treason. Evil folks really live a long time (Soros, Piglosi, Feinstein etc.) Why is that?
Isn’t it obvious? Sold their souls to the Devil.
@MaryQueen
Yes, we were the most entitled generation of the masses anywhere at any time. And then they shot the Kent State students and massacred the Panthers.
the “wave speech” from Fear and Loathing…
~toktomi~
Kent Staters were throwing cinder blocks at armed men. Too stupid to live.
The Panthers! Lol. What are you smoking? They were as bad as BLM is.
Three of the four shot were jews.
Generation born in 30’s in the US was the luckiest, as a whole, that ever existed on the planet. As a kids they “barely noticed” hardship of the depression, and when ready for labor golden gates were opening left and right for them. Mostly exited by now, never knew the crazy world of today.You are in the last generation to pick up some of the crumbs of the prosperity that the US offered.
Well, the depression was hell on my mom (born in ’32) with Irish immigrant parents, who really struggled to survive.
But after childhood, yes, she lived a pretty ideal life, opportunity-wise. And my dad as well.
I agree, they had it the best of any generation probably in history.
Ever saw pictures of the kids in the war zones playing on burned out tanks? Smiles from ear to ear. That’s what I meant to say.
They’ve been tagged as the “Silent Generation.” Very fortunate indeed.
I agree, Mary. It was a good time to be a kid. I know it is the tendency of all older people to look back on their childhood with rose colored glasses, but I honestly would not trade out with the kids of today. They have really gotten a raw deal and will never know the great nation we both grew up in.
Perhaps they have a very good idea from the music, movies, the TV shows and from parents. The wealth part, like $100 dollars buying 5 large stuffed paper bags of groceries, they probably will not know.
Five bags? A hundy in 1970? I woulda made three trips to get the groceries in for Mom back then. Food and dry goods for two weeks, including her famous Sunday roast beef dinner! For a family of ten!

Oh No. Not 1970 which is part of the 60’s. This was around ’79. We are also talking upscale areas of Westchester county, NY. you see….

It is the global JIT based economy malfunctioning. Nobody keeps inventory anymore for crisis situations and when enough disruptions happen in the logistics, too many producer are out of this or that part crucial for their production.
In worst case few producers are all waiting each other to produce the parts needed! Factory A cannot produce because B cannot produce because C cannot produce because A cannot produce.
It’s the modern version of “There’s a Hole in the Bucket.”
It’s a cluster-fuck.
SNAFU & FUBAR.
Thanks so much for the brain stain, M.D. 😐
Great point, Timgenx
We do not have any answers on what is going on. The idea that it is Covid is ludicrous. Someone is benefitting from this debacle, who?
The computerized JIT control locates every product in every container on every ship. The control is there. What is disrupting the ongoing chain, why are container ships not being offloaded now as they have been for fifty years.
Are we over saturated, do the ports just not have the capacity any more to handle the increasing shipment loads?
Is China manipulating the market! If so, why are the ships piling up off American shores?
Are the totalitarian forces in the Deep State finding another method to control the economy? Is the end result going to be the nationalization of all the ports under Deep State control.
All you fricking idiots out there that voted for Biden and the Democrats, I hope you are happy with what is going to happen, actually happening as we speak. What a debacle is coming, a nation of gimmes with no way of supplying their gimme needs. Serves the US right.
@John
Is the “who” a great mystery? We may not be familiar with their names but their positions can probably be extrapolated from their apparent wealth [not $Billions but $Trillions].
“How” and “when” are much more compelling for me.
~toktomi~
Well, we know it isn’t Biden.
Personally, I think that our ruling overlords have decided that there are too many of us to keep warm and fed, so they’re culling the herd.
It’s traditional to slaughter the livestock in the fall, so that you don’t have to feed them over the winter.
If much of what we were consuming was made in North America, and not China, supply chain anxiety wouldn’t be an issue. Globalist economic policies allows the US to live off the cheap goods of poorly paid Chinese workers. In return, we sent them raw materials like iron ore, for real estate speculators like Evergrande to use to build dozens of now collapsing Chinese ghost cities.
So. Solutions? Perhaps we slide back to how Americans lived around 1980. We live with more expensive, higher quality, domestically made goods. Is this feasible & attainable? I think it is.
What do the 700 or so odd ships off Long Beach have? Most of it isn’t food or perishables. Of course, there are goods on those ships that are critical. Medical supplies, for example. Maybe, possibly? I don’t know.
However, thousands of designer curtains, and fuzzy haired trolls, and rubber steering wheel covers, and fidgit spinners, and plastic little army men, and the myriad items that make up America’s dollar stores– are not necessities.
I’m gonna put myself out on a limb and argue that a good portion of what is on these ships from China, are these types of consumer “things”.
In other words, junk. Lots and lots of useless junk.

“Things”. Some people like things much more than other people do.
That reminds me- So many liars, have you read any Tim Winton novels?
No, I have not read any Tim Winton novels.
Put some suggestions out there. Maybe next time I’m at my public library I’ll see if they have him.
Nope, hadn’t heard of him. I’ll see what I can find in the local library first.
The US economy is now founded on Fed shenanigans and your copious consumption of this junk. There is no going back to 1980 now. They gutted all that to set-up their “useless eaters” into a freezing, starvation “dark winter.”
[Kissinger & “Biden”]
“They gutted all that to set-up their “useless eaters” into a freezing, starvation “dark winter.””
ya possibly. It’s gonna be depending on where you live, as well I think. Your access to food and water.
Yup!
There have to be political and economic forces pushing us toward a goal. All the forces here are destroying us. As we go, so goes the world, and I would include all of North America in that. The two keys, Canada and the US, are going to take down the world as they collapse under dictatorial rule.
OG, here is a thought. The capstone you talk about, what will they have left to have power over if they take down the world. Like the stock market, if you destroy the corporations by destroying their consumer base, aKA the next Great World Depression, then the PTB have no clothes.
How far this could go is really scary!
what will they have left to have power over if they take down the world
They will live in luxury while most of Earth returns to nature.
They will meet their seemingly impossible carbon reductions.
They will lord over 500,000,000 serfs that are completely under their control.
You cannot fathom this on account of your strong normalcy bias.
Their 500,000 transhuman slaves who they can switch off with the snap of a finger.
But happy!
Maybe the goal is not to “return the earth to nature” and enjoy a life of luxury.
These people are Satanic. You might say that they are at enmity with life, whether of the animal kingdom or the plant kingdom. They actually detest nature. You do not hear much about our ruling class walking in the woods to marvel at an unfolding leaf or a dog violet, and you won’t find them camping out, cooking over a campfire, or launching a canoe onto the lake. If they own an estate at Jackson Hole, it is primarily for the pleasure of depriving others of access to nature.
If they want to kill of most of the earth’s population, it is not because they want to preserve the earth in a pristine state, but for the pure pleasure of killing.
They detest life and beauty, health and art, with a hatred that is beyond human comprehension. You can see this in modern arts and letters–and, as Jim so often points out, in architecture.
My guess is that the ultimate goal is to turn the earth into a hellscape.
@OG
yup, I’ld say.
The 80’s was the time when exponential financial growth was dragged to it’s knees. The artery had been cut and bleedout begun.
Isn’t virtually the entire human race but useless eaters at the tit of the fossil fuel cow?
~toktomi~
No. Not if you Believe that every man is a soul made in God’s image.
It takes a Satanic point-of-view to feel that any human being is a “useless eater.” It is genocidal to think of all 8,000,000,000 souls in that way.
May God bless you with Wisdom, TikTok.
” we slide back to how Americans lived around 1980…”
Pete,
Think 1960. …Missed it by a couple of decades.
1860. You missed it by a century.
760.
19th century technology is gone with the wind.
20-21st century technology is too complex and fragile.
Literacy and numeracy are in free-fall.
Everything’s broken, nothing works. Nobody cares.
The monks are busy copying old texts, unaware as yet of the Vikings about to invade, pillage, and destroy.
I think they call it a hard landing.
Nineteen Eighty-four
Au Contraire…there were no Twinkies in 1860….
Ely I’m thinking the 1930’s might be close. The saying from the Great Depression went- “We had everything but money”. In the Second Great Depression we might say – “We had NOTHING but money”.
Very clever, Rainnaker.
Mom, married in the Depression:
“A loaf of bread was ten cents.
But, who had ten cents?”
Alza,
I remember my Freshman Year at State…1964. The local Lucky’s market was advertising loaves of sandwich bread…10 loaves for a dollar…in 1964.
Being the archetypical impoverished student, I rarely had a spare dime….
nice one
Indeed! Perfect! Start up the t-shirt makers!
SO much useless junk. It’s filling up all of those storage facilities we seem to need so badly now. Ridiculous waste! I’m with you, PA. We need to make things here. There is no reason we can’t.
I would rather shell out for a quality-made item than buy 100 cheapies that fall apart down the line.
THat goes for clothes and machines alike.
And food! Why are we sending meat to be rendered in China? Insane.
Mary. I’ll assume that you have never lived downwind from a meat rendering plant. NIMBY syndrome prevails.

My co-worker tells of his first audit experience while working at an accounting firm. He kept bugging his boss to let him do field work. Finally they sent him to a animal rendering plant called Valley Proteins to help with an inventory. He said at the third pile of animal guts covered by buzzing flies and stinking like hell; he started puking. Finally they sent him back to the hotel. He liked to never get that smell out of his clothes. After that, he was much more circumspect in bugging his boss.
Why would I, given a choice?
Plus I’m a vegetarian… so yeah, no fucking way.
“We need to make things here. There is no reason we can’t.”
I can think of quite a few reasons, like energy, for starters. Completely futile resource wars are just around the corner, and they will serve only to hasten resource depletion.
Atomization has run its course. Time for the return of “huddled masses.”
Better yet, we send them dollars, the Chinese send us shoes, computers, smart phones, clothes, all kinds of useful things.
The use those dollars to buy capital goods and techfrom the US and Europe and Japan/Korea, to make more, better stuff.
And they loan us back our own dollars, to help our govt live beyond its means.
Maybe buy some real assets in the US.
In short: the US gives China paper and computer data currency—China gives us stuff.
If, when Chinese decide they want things of value, not paper, it will add an epic shock to an already epically shocked economic system
I Believe that that is exactly what is happening Right now.
This is a foreclosure.
The USA was traded for 3 decades of everyday low prices.
Made in China
Owned by China
Americans buy 5 times more clothes than they did in 1980 and throw away an average of 70 pounds of clothing a year.
And that isn’t even counting the plastic doodads and singing cards and disposable dinnerware.
It’s this aspect that has weirded me out a bit lately. A bit contrary to prevailing sentiment, is it not possible that the last 30 years has been used to get China addicted to Western consumption? Now, at a point China and Russia seem to have escaped…apply the choke hold? (How’s that for an ’80s reference? I couldn’t find a way to shoe-horn in ‘batter ram’.)
Maybe my SRAM drivetrain for my Specialized mountain bike is floating around out there on ship #666. Waited 3 months so far with no luck,
I’ve been ordering much of my stuff from what is now L9 Sports (formerly BikeWagon). They’re in SLC, UT, and are an eBay seller. I’ve ordered stuff from them recently (past few months) without problems.
Also, there are choices: SunRace. I’ve been using SunRace 12sp cassettes for 3 years now. Many companies are producing drivetrain stuff now, Paul, Box, e13, SunRace, Microshift, more. Sram and Specialized are the ‘gentrification’ of mountain biking…F#(< them!

You have Life? Great. Then Life has you as well All of you! Every organ, every drop of blood and, of course, your brain: your mind. But I have free will!, you say. Of course you do. Sort of.
Now Life is normally quite placid. Even though Life lives on by consuming itself; the feasting is benign, as it is with all Life’s wards; with one notable exception. You. And the rest of the human race. We are Life consuming gluttons extraordinaire. Think Gettysburg, Dachau, Hiroshima and …factory farming: ad nausea.
This is not new, of course. Our behavior is old news. Life has cut slack to humans because we have a uniqueness that has warranted observation over time. Time may have just run out. Humans now have the ability to destroy the biosphere. Our pernicious conduct may have convinced Life that without its prompt.interjection; it is inevitable.
Enter Mr.Covid 19. Force Majeure of modern plagues. Sponsor of the blame game to end all blame games. Seven billion people have an opinion…and an asshole. The ones who have a microphone or a computer demonstrate both, daily. Think Life has a hand in all this? Maybe the plague is a worldwide distraction to give the Biosphere a little breathing room to heal from ongoing human assault? Hmmm.
Millions are dead. Millions are becoming infected every day. The virus twists and turns and presents a new face constantly. We rush to keep up but seemingly always lag behind. How so? Is it out of our hands?
The solution to “always lagging behind,” as so many (censored) vaccine experts have been saying, is STOP VACCINATING with a non-sterilizing immunization that only drives the enrichment of new variants. Like SARS-1, which petered out on its own without a vaccine, Covid would already be on the way out if we hadn’t hit it with a shoddy, leaky vaccine.
We had to. In order to get the vaccine passport imposed, they needed a vaccine.
Or some kind of experimental crap they could pass off as one.
Bingo. The virus exists for the vaccine, not the other way around.
And the vaccine exists for the ID2020/WEF digital SSI pass, without which one cannot enter a store, bank, or travel.
God did not make Covid 19 even if you call Him “Mother Nature.”
Covid 19. 9/11. 11/22/1963.

“free will”. I have pondered at times where that might reside, unmolested by all previous programming. I’ve never come up with a plausible story. Perhaps, brain farts are that free will.
Ultimately, I have concluded, “who needs it?” and “who cares?”. Having traceable sources for my programmed behaviors is much more useful.

Oh, oh deep water, black and cold like the night
I stand with arms wide open,
I’ve run a twisted line
I’m a stranger in the eyes of the Maker
I could not see for the fog in my eyes
I could not feel for the fear in my life
And from across the great divide, In the distance I saw a light
Jean Baptiste’s walking to me with the Maker
My body is bent and broken by long and dangerous sleep
I can’t work the fields of Abraham and turn my head away
I’m not a stranger in the hands of the Maker
Brother John, have you seen the homeless daughters
Standing there with broken wings
I have seen the flaming swords
There over east of Eden
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Oh, river rise from your sleep

What we are living through is the collapse and death of a civilization. While I wouldn’t say it’s exactly normal, this cycle of the rise and fall of civilizations has been repeated hundreds or thousands of times throughout human history. In the past, such events were localized. When Ancient Rome collapsed, it passed unnoticed by most of the rest of the world.
Humans, for unknown reasons, seem to compulsively create unsustainable social and economic structures.
The difference is that what we are seeing today is worldwide collapse. The only thing that’s novel about it is the scope.
Human hubris.
Scoreboard
But to be here now.
Though I’m in comfortable company here, I despair (and shudder) at the deepening mass psychosis of the general population. Yesterday I got into a double-barreled debate in a news comments section with a retired nurse; this guy honestly thinks the vaccine is effective, despite case numbers in my state–with the highest vax rate in the country–being 5000% higher than the same time a year ago when there was no vaccine. I cited all kinds of data and even official statements, and he basically just pointed his finger at me as the problem, yammering all the way.
Or the other day, walking into the local drugstore and casually asking the pharmacist if he ever fills off-label prescriptions to treat Covid. Every head poking from a white coat turned on me. “We’d lose our license.” “It’s not safe.” Etc.
I’ve got to hand it to the propaganda masters: They know their shit. If anyone wants a short course on how they have been so fabulously successful, this is a great video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09maaUaRT4M
“Or the other day, walking into the local drugstore and casually asking the pharmacist if he ever fills off-label prescriptions to treat Covid. Every head poking from a white coat turned on me. “We’d lose our license.” “It’s not safe.” Etc.”
That’s when you should have yelled back, yeah a drug that’s been around for decades that the FDA themselves have labeled, one of the “safest drugs in the world”. You could have also added, dirt cheap as well.
Indeed. Plus I should have asked him how many people have died from HCQ or ivermectin, or mentioned ivermectin’s Nobel Prize. I wish I was better at speaking off-the-cuff. It would come in handy these days.
jeff2002 – the French have a very amusing term for this: “…down the back staircase…”
The devastating riposte you should have made to someone’s cutting remark – but it only occurs to you half an hour later.
The problem with responding to the CovidCultists is that whatever you say just bounces off them: “Well go ahead and get the vaccine” is the mantra, no matter what.
Dirt cheap brings up a couple of thoughts:
1) Mr K quotes $2/Ivermectin pill. That sounds about Right for the most corrupt Medical System on Earth. Ivermectin is $0.20/pill and plentiful in mid-Africa.
2) Who makes Ivermectin? Why are they not freaking out? They could have saved millions and made billions but they get ilLegally shut out of the marketplace and … crickets. That’s strange.
It is a generic drug now. No patent protection. Anyone can manufacture it.
My 1v3rm3ct1n (how I write the VERBOTEN NAME in places like FB, so I won’t get canned) came through one of the on-line merchants here in Jakarta. Everything on the plastic bottle is written in Chinese, except for the numbers. I pop one pill a day and hope for the best.
Moo.
You’re using a different definition of “safe” than they were.
You’re both right, the drugs are safe, but not for them to dispense without losing their ability to make a living.
There are powerful forces at work making sure that there are no safe ways to treat this bioweapon.
COVID has now entered the realm of cultural myth. There’s no point in arguing about it with anyone. There are believers and there are non-believers, and ne’er the two shall ever agree again. But be careful out there asking questions that give your position away! There’s much treachery afoot!
Stating such, you’re at the essence of the deep division.

So, perhaps, is the time to explore and maybe even to reverse engineer where this thing is bound.

It isn’t so much the quality of the propaganda (which is low), but rather the fact that the corporate media is entirely owned by the criminals.
I have said from the beginning that the media is the most dangerous weapon in their arsenal. Although it is a blunt weapon, the targets are nearly intellectually defenseless.
Agree. It is the weapon by which all of the psychological manipulations have been made. Gaslighting, repetition of lies, fearmongering – powerful stuff. And effective.
We’ve been prepped (and tortured) emotionally/psychologically for decades now. They primed the pump! And then 1.8 years ago they went all out.
As O.G. says, 11/22/63 – 9/11/2001 – 3/13/2020
The main events to scare us into where we are now. With a LOT of other false flags and wars peppered in between.
I like to ask people: Did we need vaccines before the 1950s? Nope.
Were there mass shootings before the 1960s on a regular basis? Nope.
Some things to ponder.
That Jeff, was the best video I’ve seen in awhile, with clear points at the end on how to break this mass psychosis.
Humour.
Dissemination
Self order, be the hope, truth, sunshine.
Create parallel structures, in society but no OF it.

Cowbell up stream mentioned shortage of bike parts, being 84 and wife 83, we ride recumbents due to lower back issues in her case and cervical spine issue in mine, making uprights no longer an option (though I was a “class” cyclist” in all categories through my younger years). Was told by owner of our choice bike shop that new recumbents or parts are now delayed at least to next year.

Thanks Jim for an excellent, spot-on essay. Joe Biden™ (Pat. Pend.) is running like a car that’s racing down the road at 100 miles an hour, when suddenly a tie rod breaks and the car goes far left, heading for a serious crash. His “bringing people together” lasted until about the end of January. So glad to hear the support chants at stadiums (as in “F” J.B.)
The sad part (well there are many sad parts) is his vax mandates are being supported by the judicial system- and now some knucklehead (A “D” from N.Y., who would’ve guessed?) has introduced a bill (H.R. 4980) which would anyone flying to/from the U.S. be vaccinated. This is a collective madness…we need more Rand Paul’s.
Jim wrote: “There are your chieftains of America’s central bank, a dumpster fire riding the garbage barge of our nation’s economy into a blood-red sunset. That cursed vessel is sailing past epic disorders like the container ships idling offshore of California and New York, full of stuff going nowhere. The country marinates in the fetid exudations of institutional rot, waiting for the lights to flicker out.”
Except other nations are no exception either. Anyone think China, Russia, UK, France Germany etc aren’t doing the same crap? I would think as they have learned from the best shysters in the world, i.e. the USA.
The people looting Earth never thought in terms of countries. Countries were/are another cabal to be greased.
They love hosting crap like the Olympics. One World Global Unity and all their chess pieces on full display.

Order of Succession:
Vice President
Speaker of the House of Representatives – successor to Hastert
President Pro Tempore of the Senate – Patrick Joseph Leahy
Secretary of State – Anthony J. Blinken
Secretary of the Treasury – Yellen
Secretary of Defense – Austin
Attorney General – Garland
Secretary of the Interior
Secretary of Agriculture
Secretary of Commerce
Secretary of Labor
Secretary of Health and Human Services
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
Secretary of Transportation
Secretary of Energy
Secretary of Education
Secretary of Veterans Affairs
Secretary of Homeland Security
The only exception to the line provided in the law states that to ascend to the Presidency, the next person in line must be constitutionally eligible. Any person holding an office in the line of succession who, for example, is not a naturally-born citizen cannot become President. In this case, that person would be skipped and the next eligible person in the line would become President.
“A little comfort” you say?
That list is frightening!
They don’t give you “a milder case” either.
So much for vaccine-generated herd immunity
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/so-much-for-vaccine-generated-herd
“The supply lines are wobbling and many will go down. No stuff, no parts, before long, no food. Energy supplies are shaky everywhere. China’s electric grid is going dark from insufficient coal. Russia lacks the surplus NatGas to keep Western Europe warm. Global shortages drive up US oil and gas prices while people lose jobs and incomes over vaccine mandates — meaning families will freeze as the daylight dwindles. “Joe Biden’s” dark winter is coming on fast.”
yeah. Well. Yet another argument to get back on a solid, localized economic footing.
Energy and food really oughta be priority, obviously. I’d argue they both have good solutions. The US really oughta be building nuclear power plants, particularly researching the feasibility of Thorium nuclear application. In regards to energy, it really needs to be an “all of the above” approach. I agree with Jim & others about the end of the petro economy. It is an inevitability.
With food production, again an “all of the above” approach is most practical. One recent phenomena I’ve noticed locally here at least is the rise of many more small farmers. They may be living on 10 or 20 acres of property and produce eggs or vegetables, or running dairy farms.
The farmers markets here have gotten much larger in the last 20 years, and are much more full. Now, this is all fine and good for smaller cities and population centers out there. However, what to do with the dozens of densely packed cities in the US?
I don’t know. I don’t know what their solution will be. More of the same? Trucking everything in. I understand there is an urban farming movement. I don’t know how successful or practical it is. It may help with particular neighborhoods, but may not be to scale for what is needed in that type of environment.
There are lots and lots of honesty stands with eggs, veggies, and honey in the countryside here.
I am trying to do more and more shopping at the local farmers’ markets.
Here too. The way it works, the farther you get away from the city, the more honor stands you see.
I hear you about localization and ruralization, Our host has pushed this since TLE.
The problem is, we are growing our population by impoverished immigration. These folks are going to the cities working against the localization trends. A bomb ready to go off.
food production is or can be local or close to local.
Not in the cities where most of our population is.
It’s time to crush the Walmarts, Targets, Googles and Apples. We absolutely have the power to destroy them and we should use it…wisely.
You/we must. One of the main aims of the lockdown was to destroy small- and medium-sized businesses, so that when we all wake up in the New Normal, we can only shop at the big chains, and we can only enter or engage in commerce with those businesses when we have the global biometric digital ID card, which we can only keep active if we submit to quaxxine shots– among other things.
Are people understanding now?
Statistically very few. TPTB have engineered this for centuries. Most people won’t Believe anything until their TV tells them so. Sad but True.
We cannot stop The Beast System now. It will be.

Nope! The consumer base uses the big box stores and Amazon more every year. Why, a few pennies, convenience and now availability of goods.
Joe Average does not understand what is happening.

One simple story – the masses have no power in this modern industrial society except maybe en-mass to either pour out in total suicidal destruction of everything or to walk away in total suicidal destruction.
I could be wrong.
~toktomi~
Another reason that Amazon (e.g.) will continue to flourish is that the lockdowns play into their business plan.
Can’t go to the store because gas is too expensive, or because as an unjabbed you aren’t allowed to, or because the shelves are almost bare, or because the cost of goods keep going up?
Amazon is cheaper, faster (to your front door, no less), and you won’t need your vaxx card (as yet, anyway) to accept your goods.
This will especially be the case for those in rural areas.

1-A meta-analysis of 15 studies shows clinically and statistically significant effects for ivermectin in reducing mortality and mobidity in COV infections.

2-Another meta-analysis of 18 studies showing efficacy of ivermectin in reducing both symptoms and transmission rates of COV infection.
American Journal of Therapeutics: May Jun 2021 – Volume 28 – Issue 3 – p e299-e318
A meta-analysis is essentially a study of studies using data converted to a common metric for head to head comparison between results of different studies. There is overwhelming evidence of the efficacy of ivermectin in treatment of Cov. Now, why would the PTB want to quash its use? Is it just money?
Neurodoc
Could it be the future of drug development, big pharma’s future, depends on the development of the mRNA approach and now Merck’s new daily pill to knock out the virus after infection. Are the development labs all working in these directions?
Like everything, money is the bottom line. These are impersonal corporations that answer to groups of investors that are only concerned about returns and the future.
Remember the movie, Roller Ball, with, i think, Michael(?) Caine. Big corps ran everything and were in total control in place of govmint. Not a good future for anyone below the level of senior VP. Very dysthymic. (and I do mean dysthymic, which is chronic low grade depression that never ends).

It still stuns me that you continue to think shooting people full of RNA-altering goop is a progressive and good thing to do.
The human body is fine on its own. Without poisons being hurled at us 24/7 we’d be good to go.
Food is medicine.
You just do not get it. My post was totally neutral, I was wondering about why the s corporate direction by big pharma is what it is. My position is neutral. I believe that risk analysis should be used to assertion the reaction to any disease, the closer one gets to 80 the bigger the risk that Covid, whatever it is, will do damage or death. Why, by eighty the vast majority of folks have co morbidities Covid feeds on. IMHO, folks less that 50 should have risks before taking the jab. Kids, only in a very small percentage that have high risk of problems with Covid.
Me, I am almost 74 with co morbidities. You can belly ache all you want but I will continue to protect myself from Covid, the flu or whatever. So far, so good.
But you’re not. You’re destroying your immune system. Good luck with the booster.
Your opinion, MQ.
You are “neutral” but us warning you with myriad facts is “belly ach[ing].”
Got it.
MaryQueen: I’ve never advocated mRNA fakes. You must have the wrong person; or, perhaps you’re confused.
My comment was a reply to JohnAZ not you, doc. I think we’re in alignment.
Forget meta-analysis and Science. I’m good with 100% success in eradicating the COVID Delta pandemic among the 241 million citizens of the Uttar Pradesh region of India.
No double blind study done to the highest standard, no manufactured EUA “documentation” of new and untested procedures, indeed no other treatment for the COVID virus in any form has that kind of track record.
What specifically yielded a 100% ‘success’ rate?
How was ‘success’ defined?
Just curious.
Ivermectin.
From Trial Site (referencing MSN’s coverage):
Recently Indian press touted that Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state with about 230 million people was nearly COVID-19 free. An amazing accomplishment chronicled by TrialSite—a heroic public health story demonstrating how organized, proactive testing, early care, and quarantines contributed to overcoming an outright scary Delta variant-based surge from April to May of this year. The proactive use of Ivermectin, included in a home health care kit, showed to be instrumental in combating the incredibly virulent and transmissible strain of SARS-CoV-2. Public health workers made continuous visits to homes in villages and districts across the state, proactively testing and treating the condition immediately, including household contacts. Even the World Health Organization (WHO) praised the effort, yet omitted the use of Ivermectin—a scandal.
OK, not 100%. And who knows what the future may hold? The virus is difficult to contain. But it would appear the Indians hit upon a winning combination — obviously not just the drug alone, but actual hands-on engagement. Something that used to happen in the USA before we all became “reimbursables.”
OK, I know about that ‘study.’ It did show incredible success for ivermectin. Thousands, probably millions, of lives saved.
But the national group psychosis from which amerika is suffering does not even recognize ivermectin as a human drug, despite the FDA approval, Nobel prize, and many studies. That is the nature of psychosis. And we are dealing with a group psychosis no less lethal than that suffered by the nazis and stalinists. Perhaps, in the future, this will be called Fauci’s disease, given medicine’s propensity for naming diseases after their discoverer (or in this case, their creator).
Neurodoc: “Is it just money?”
So, Doc, I’m assuming you don’t think money is the prime mover. Do tell.
There are some great travel blogs out there about China’s insane real estate industry.
Developers in China have built what is euphemistically called “new areas” on the outskirts of Chinese cities of cardboard & styrofoam made homes and apartment buildings, complete with plumbing and wiring sticking out of the walls.
People pay big $$$ for these places to live. Within a few years, the escalators and elevators stop working, the appliances all die & the wallpaper and other features of the house/apt peel off or break.

Yeah, even the Berlin Brutalism movement, with its stained and crumbling concrete, is infinitely better than those slapdash “homes”.

What do you have against using capital letters to begin sentences and punctuation (for example, a period) to end sentences? And what do you have against using apostrophes? Is using a tilde instead of an apostrophe some kind of style statement like, for example, a Black person having corn rows?
Over the weekend we went to and eating establishment which we visit frequently. Strangely, everyone going in was masked. Strange because it is usually a masked/unmasked mix.
After determining a mass stick-up, stage coach robbery, or similar event was not afoot, we entered, unmasked.
The local heath board gestapo had struck. Signs posted prominently on the doors and walls giving testament to the new/old rules.
Remaining maskless (not my day for a great train robbery), no one questioned us. Order at the counter, find a vacant table, food brought out, identifying customers by shouting out the name on the order. Nothing fancy here.
Not a single person mentioned our masklessness, service was provided and payment made at the plexiglass divider-of-protection safeguarding the cash register from hereforeto unseen germs, bugs and other microscopic creatures, real and imagined. Oh, those generators of fear and trepidation, they’re everywhere!
I resisted the urge to get up on a table and ask anyone, anyone, to explain how the mysterious “virus” knows they are maskless while eating and ignores the opportunity to “infect” or otherwise use them as a virus host.
So, that’s my story from the weekend, just filled with uncontained adventure and excitement while visiting the realm of Covidians.
George, Not
Back in the winter during the previous “outbreak” I had a fun similar experience. Needing a few screws for my ski bindings, I went to my local ski shop. Before the door could close I was met by a high pitched command: STOP. Go outside and put your mask on. I smiled pleasantly and kept walking toward the masked clerk cowering behind two layers of plexiglass, explaining that I just needed a few binding screws. By the time I reached the first of his plexiglass shields he had turned into a quivering mass of fear induced protoplasm and his screams turned to a croak.
“Have a Nice Day” said I, and walked away.
Some forms of insanity are curable– others not so much.
There are moments when one needs to have some fun with it. Harmless laughter-inducing events. I do think a good laugh, or even mild chuckle, is good for the heart and good for the soul.

I resisted the urge to get up on a table and ask anyone, anyone, to explain how the mysterious “virus” knows they are maskless while eating and ignores the opportunity to “infect” or otherwise use them as a virus host.
That is such a Twilight Zone scene. I picture a young Ernest Borgnine publicly losing it in a Seinfeld cafe and everyone ignoring the crazy man as the nice, young policeman hauls him away.
That’s pretty much what I imagine every time I’m tempted to get on a table top and try to shake everyone up with the truth.
I know what the reaction would be…
@MaryQueen
Could that have anything to do with everyone’s opinions that they are in possession of the truth?

The mainstream media is too busy whoring for Big Pharma to even mention it, but the record June 2021 heat and summer drought has had a significant impact on farm yields and things like the size of fruit, grain kernels and livestock population. Supplementing with foreign imports is difficult with ships bottled up off the coasts and ports hobbled by a trucker shortage. But no worries, there will also be fewer mouths to feed as the true damage of a this vax’nation claims more souls than the virus.
“record June 2021 heat and summer drought ” is in some places. In the Northeast it’s been rain, rain, rain with a few days of sunlight here and there.
Too much water also can harm the food crops.
Lots out of balance.
one of these days or years or decades…the tension will be too great. Something will really pop. not yet, but soon
?
And let’s discuss that ‘heat dome’ – another new ‘phenomenon’. First they spray up the sky until the sun looks like a nimbus (which never used to happen but now they are called ‘sun dogs’ and happen all the time), and then suddenly when the drought came here (Idaho) no more spraying for 2 months.
It was 100 or 100+ for 2 straight months. All my tomatoes were stunted. Then August was perfectly normal, even cooler than usual. So was September.
I am really in Dane Wigington’s corner now with regard to weather manipulation. Something is just not right. And the timing is too much coinky-dink for me.

MaryQueen,
I was in Boise for two weeks in July. It was miserable. It was over 100 degrees each day and not one drop of rain the entire time. I decided I couldn’t live in that climate. I live in Virginia where is gets hot and humid, but it has afternoon thunderstorms at least once in awhile. God Bless You Idaho Folks!
That was unusual. It should have been between 80 and 90.
The people who live here were gobsmacked at a heatwave this long. Like previously in CA, there were never 2 month long heatwaves. They’d be 3-5 days tops.
What happened this summer was as unnatural and unlikely as it gets.
MQ: But there again, most of Western Europe had a summer with temps 10° below normal for that time of year. It tends to balance out.

Yes, women get custody in marriage and of course if unmarried. Anthea didn’t seem to realize that, talking about men trying to lure in young women to take care of their kids. It happens, but how about some sense of proportion?

Try to remember you don’t know about people’s lives. I spent many years as a single mother. I’d rather it hadn’t been like that, but we all have our bottom line, unless we are saints, in terms of what we will put up with from a person we realise too late we should never have married.
The court order (this was the late 80s) got me £25/ week for two children. Not each.
The the court system was soon replaced by the Child Support Agency, who called me and said that amount wasn’t enough. I concurred but said my ex-husband didn’t earn all that much, so more wasn’t necessarily reasonable. They upped it to £28.
Then a bunch of men’s rights types started to complain that they couldn’t keep their first and second families. So they got their ‘protected income’ increased and my kids got their support reduced to £3/week. That’s £1.50 per child. After a year or two it increased to £5/week, where it stayed till they were 16, when it stopped altogether, even though one went to college till 20 and the other to university and beyond. Needless to say my kids both worked while students.
I have difficulty considering my ex was a ‘poor sucker’, while I put his kids to bed and proceeded to force my exhausted brain to work out lesson plans for the next tortuous day facing children with two parents, who bizarrely behaved many times worse than mine ever did.
I should have mentioned that my ex didn’t have a second family, but was still happy to support his kids to the tune of £1.50 per week each. Takes all sorts to make a world.
Very infrequent poster,. Had a mother who divorced in the 70s in canada. Also had a girlfriend with a common law spouse who was an unreliable provider in the nineties. Neither became comfortable by any government help,. But they may have been extra proud? Dunno.
If I had to say a common denominator,. Maybe it was a lack of interest in mate selection by the parents involved? It seems like parents are and were pretty lackadaisical about partner selection for their children, and couple that with a ‘do what you feel’ kind of revolution and playboy magazine and James Bond you have a recipe for less than successful couplings. I could stretch out these themes but I hope you get my gist.
There is a kind of response to want to paper it over with government largesse,. But even my own mother, who was a very left leaning substitute teacher, observed adolescent children under her tutelage who expressed their anticipated future as being eventually themselves raising children on a mother’s allowance. A lot of children are being raised in subsidized housing and on disability and God knows what other benefits. I’ve seen enough in my own travels too for me to raise my eyebrows if it is to be suggested that society needs to pass a very big hat for single mothers. Their situations are to be pitied often,. but the reflexive socialist response leaves us lacking a layer of family, moral, and community prevention and mitigation that only facilitates further degradation. Ok thank you.
Sorry,. Poor typing. Girlfriend with a mother who had a common law spouse who became a very unreliable provider However my point is that neither partner was really a interlocking part of a common solid social network either shared. One or the other could be jettisoned.
In that time period all these things became superfluid and mutable in a way it hadn’t been before. The man had less responsibility to maintain his role, as did the woman (my ultimate mother),. and I have no faith in the government to ultimately improve this. We’re going to be out of 1st work welfare largesse to make it remotely possible soon in any case.
An Ill preprared for infant will be very dire soon indeed regardless of ideology.
Thanks Timmy. How is Lassie? Why not call yourself Timon, as is Timon of Athens? T is feminine as is m – the on saves it whereas the diminutive y dooms you.
But good point. To subsidize is to approve. You get more of what you approve of. So much so that women actually boast about being single mothers now.
Timothy is better but still bad as per the song Timothy. The Spanish Timotheo is better, but Timon is best.
I know, everyone has their own circumstances to consider, so no personal offense intended. However, I did see a lot of crazies come through the family court division when I was a clerk at the county level. That was enough to make me want to tear the system down.
That was a long time ago in a land that no longer exists. Women are almost as promiscuous as men now and far more divorce prone. Your story does not illuminate the present situation. We weren’t talking about you in any case.
Touchy!
Real world situations that expose how women STILL get the brunt of the hardship is not allowed in MRA world.
Well yes, men are often better. But we are penalized by a System that hates us and rewards women in hiring, admissions and most egregiously, in family court.
I temped for about 6 months in a recruitment agency where I trawled through BACS printouts to check payments for said Child Support Agency chasing up men for support payments, in this case men employed by said agency. Many did their best to avoid paying, not a few by giving up work rather than support their kids.
There’s another side to every story. I agree life is different for women with wealthy ex-husbands, but there are rather more of us in more modest categories, to whom gold digging was something that happened in the movies.
And there was no promiscuity involved in my case, on either side. You think a man can’t make your life a misery other than by promiscuity?
Of course it wasn’t about me. But if people make sexist generalisations they should expect to see their generalisations challenged. I don’t know ANY well-off divorced women.
Blacks expect the word “racism” to bring the discussion to a close. You attempt the same thing by talking about your ex.
Women bring the great majority of the divorces here. It’s often in their best interest. Seeing the gushing magazine articles, women lower on the economic scale imitate – and often regret it.
As for single motherhood, the more you pay women to procreate irresponsibly, the more that will do it.
Maybe Britain is different? I’ve heard it’s much the same, though maybe a bit better in terms of fairness to men.
Generalizations are of course absolutely necessary. That’s what a concept it, right? So you don’t have a leg to stand on there.
I don’t care about winning a competition – there are vast numbers of women impoverished by divorce, compared to their ex-husbands. I’m sorry you would prefer they didn’t get a mention.

GA, Yoho simply cannot hear anything on this subject. He’s made up his mind and yeah, seems to be based on some movie he watched or the housewives of Orange County stereotypes.
He obviously doesn’t live in the real world.
Thanks for sharing your situation, it is the norm here as well, where the moms struggle to bring up the kids and the dads have the luxury of skirting responsibility.
Yoho is also in denial that most domestic violence is men beating on, stalking, raping etc. women. But “the poor menz” – lol. Women initiate divorce more because they want to protect themselves or their children against violent men.
There are countless Marys that identify with their sex, not their nation or culture. Women are their nation and culture, one that is transnational and thus undermining all nations where this anti-culture takes root.
When I complained about an old ritual in a European country (forget which) for male fishermen being undermined by a female politician, Mary responded, “It’s just a ritual”. The past doesn’t matter. Nations and cultures don’t matter. Only women.
Feminism by itself would have brought down the West if it wasn’t pushed back.
Way to skirt the very valid points I made, about the violent behavior of men, and why women choose divorce to escape their abuse.
Yes, I don’t really consider a ritual that big of a deal compared to women being psychologically abused, beaten, threatened, raped, etc.
Then also let’s review. 95% of violent crime is committed by men.
People reading along can do the math, there.
Just had a convo with my lawn guy, James, the other day. He had a father so violent that he remembers being a baby in a high chair trying to figure out how to protect his mother as she was being beaten up. The deadbeat dad ended up dumping them, he was glad.
There are of course many men treated unfairly, but the majority of domestic violence is done by men. Maybe if MRAs want to ameliorate this, they should start respecting women instead of whining like little babies and hating all women for the behavior of a few.
All divorces suck (or most), and it’s he said/she said. Sometimes the wrong person gets the shit end of the stick. It happens.
Some men get screwed. But mostly, women get the shit end of the stick. Statistics bear this out.
Yet these are the men so many women are attracted to. Women shape evolution by choosing these “Alphas” (they are, but of course at the level of the jungle).
Most experts report a lot of physical abuse inflicted by women against men. Some say it’s about 50/50. Of course women are usually afraid to kill, preferring to get another man to do that for them. Yet there are many cases of women killing their husbands.
Other women (such as yourself), are repulsed by such men, and seeing all men that way, seek to avoid them. This is your right if you can make it work.
Others try to have it both ways, loathing men a la Feminism, but still seeking to be with men. Men must protect themselves against such women who think nothing of destroying them on a whim with divorce. Women bring 70 percent or so of the divorces in America.
There is no middle ground between your womanism and traditional culture and nationalism. You don’t deny it. How could you? What you espouse would have destroyed America and the West in time. As it is destroying Japan. It will destroy China and India too. China may have seen the danger in time though.
Everything you have put forth here, “Jarek”, is bullshit and your own fevered imaginings. No stats bear it out. You probably should spend less time hanging out with the RooshV crowd.
@Jarek: Re your complaint that “men don’t matter; only women matter.”
The reason for this is that men have CHOSEN not to matter.
When a man does not have honorable intentions towards women, he has chosen to be a zero. When a man feels no responsibility towards his children, he has chosen to be a zero. When he fails to support his family, he has chosen to be a zero. When he is abusive towards his wife and children, he has chosen to be in the sub-zero range.
Of course men don’t matter. They have CHOSEN not to matter. Women, on the other hand, who have accepted the responsibilities from which men have abdicated, DO matter.
If the family is the foundation of civilization, women are now creating this foundation alone. Men have decided not to engage in this undertaking.
In a way, I feel sorry for them. Men can only experiece life in a second-hand kind of way, through women. For women, life is a first-hand experience–of pregnancy and childbirth, the love and care of infants, the formation of children, the business of providing for them. They cannot easily evade life’s demands, and so reap the rewards that life bestows.
Men can and do choose to live peripheral lives as nonentities, where they need not experience connection, social value, love, and sacrifice.
It is really a great blessing to be a woman–and often a great hardship. But hardship is the price you pay to be someone who matters. Such a llife, no matter how difficult, is worth any price.
Men are unfortunate in that they can so easily choose to be ciphers. They will matter again as soon as they matter.
Men often state that women initiate the vast majority of divorces. While it is true that women initiate most of the court proceedings, men initiate almost all of the divorces.
The way you initiate a divorce is by abuse, non-support, alcoholism, compulsive gambling, adultery, running the family into financial ruin, isolating wives from friends and family, etc.
Most men are basically mooches. At the age of 73, my dating days are pretty much over, but I still am occasionally importuned by some guy who wants to be “friends.” With the most recent one, his objective was to move in with me so that he could sell his house in a neighborhood that was going downhill fast, and have a woman around to look after him–and doubtless pay the bills. Men often seek relationships with women with such a plan in mind; they are seeking a life-preserver in the form of both a personal servant and someone to support them. Normally, this is the ONLY male motivation for seeking a long-term relationship. They do so ONLY when they find that they cannot manage on their own and, after casting about for some solution, they decide that their best bet is to find a woman to mooch off of.
If they succeed, that’s when the gaslighting, pathological lying and verbal abuse sets in, as it is essential to conceal or deny that they are just sponging. One of my friends recently told me a story about how her ex (and unemployed alcoholic) began telling her, “You smoke to much.” He also smoked. The message was that she was spending money on herself that rightfully belonged to him. Another favorite is, “These kids are spoiled brats,” when Dad has rarely spent a penny to provide for them, and that grudgingly. That’s when the constant abuse of the kids sets in, as a rationalization for denying them their needs and wants.
Of course, hubby has been playing this same game with his wife since day one: “Now I’m going to be late for work. Why didn’t you wake me?” The usual game is, “You don’t deserve anything because you are not good enough.”
Women will often put up with this until the kids become targets.
@Anthea, lovely posts, so incredibly well-said.
My impression is that, while some men probably get taken to the cleaners in family court, this is almost exclusively a “rich guy” problem. The middle and lower classes have no assets. Maybe a house with an upside-down mortgage and a couple of cars of little value. In the latter case, the men are indignant that the courts order them to support their kids. Often the main reason for the divorce is because it has become clear to Mom that the only way to get Dad to provide for the kids is to divorce him and get a court order.
The “rich guy problem” of having to hand over assets to his ex is almost invariably a case in which some wealthy old guy has married a hottie who is 20 years his junior. It may be that she was a gold-digger. It might also be that being married to an old guy, however rich, is not very satisfactory: He is not very physically attractive to her (while many other men are), they have little in the way of common interests, and her new and luxurious home is not really her home, but a place were she must tiptoe around his priceless antiques.
I have frequently read male complaints that his wife or romantic interest is silly, frivolous, temperamental, uninterested in serious subjects, and not his intellectual equal. I have sometimes suggested that they date someone their own age. If you figure on robbing the cradle, you will get someone who is infantile–and who is likely to tire of you.
One is not necessarily saddened for such men when they complain that they didn’t get their pennyworth for their penny.

Oh, damn, there goes another batch of our myopic generalities, petty prejudices, stereotypes, and blind dogma.

~toktomi~
To GA’s statement that she doesn’t know ANY well-off divorced women:
Bill Gate’s ex-wife (although you may not know her personally)
The personal is political. Why read anything?
I said I don’t know any, not that I don’t know OF any.
Here in normal world is where most people live – they don’t share space with billionaires.
GA, your personal disclosures reminded me of a movie I saw decades ago – “Georgy Girl”. Lynn Redgrave had to decide whether to marry this working class, happy-go-lucky guy who knocked her up. She finally realized he was too immature and irresponsible. Fortunately, she had a very rich older guy (James Mason) who also wanted to marry her. So she chose him.
I would guess you married the happy-go-lucky clown, and there was no James Mason in a limousine standing by as option B.
HMuller, that is nearly the exact plot of Germany’s most beloved author Goethe in his first novel.
His first love ditches him for the more stable farmer after a roll in the hay and he is besotted still.
Pretty good novel. Germans are suckers though, I should know.
Authors do keep recycling the same plot lines. LOL

“The country marinates in the fetid exudations of institutional rot, waiting for the lights to flicker out.” This concluding statement is an accurate summation of the entire article.
I’m now 71 years old and based on my family history, 90% of my life is in the rear view mirror. The main problem I now have is dealing with the fact that younger people have no future in a totalitarian world that will torture and kill most of them in the very near future. Unfortunately, those who survive will envy the dead.
That line does sum it up well.
I decided that I am going to enjoy the next couple of months to the fullest, and then see where I have to be after that. I can manage that much. And I have also decided to live for the day, because the future ain’t too bright.
In a way, it’s a gift. We are so conditioned to live for the future, not the present. That’s a big mistake. Learning to enjoy what I have now, and stay in the moment.
@MaryQueen
I’m not convinced that having the illusion of a purpose, a mission is a mistake.
The intellectual “understanding” that there is no grand purpose for human life, that the very essence of the meaning of life is simply to stay alive does in my mind detract from blessings of the emotional need to feel that there is a need to accomplish something for some altruistic good.
~toktomi~
That’s not what I said. Try reading again, for comprehension.
The purpose of life is to defeat entropy, which is a fleeting success and can’t be achieved in the long run. So, there’s that.
You’re absolutely right about living for the day. My Merrill Lynch advisor and I recently discussed my conervative investment plan which would allow me to maintain my current “lifestyle” for the next two decades. I can’t imagine what the world will look like in the year 2140. It is a certainty that my current investment portfolio will worthless long before that.
Obviously, the 2140 date mentioned in my comment was supposed to read 2040. And “conervative” was supposed to read “conservative”. I wish I could edit comments after they are posted. Next time I’ll try be more careful.

All this musing about centenarians becoming a dime-a-dozen in the near future must dismay those who would prefer to see us gone and done with, so they can ride their horsies in green empty pastures as far as the eye can see (used to be downtown Atlanta).
Mowing down the oldies is certainly tempting, from their privileged POV. Old people remember the times before the dictatorship; that’s why they are inconvenient and potentially troublesome.
I just turned 80 and am frisky as a colt (a colt with a prostatectomy and two cataract ops). My mother’s mother lived to 98 before dying in 1965, though her last five years she didn’t quite know what planet she was on.
I’m looking forward to a great age. Also seeing my enemies wither and fall away. Is that wrong? Looks like Henry W.C. Kissinger might outlive me in any case.
Humans are adaptable. The young ones don’t know any other life.
Remember that we humans have been slaves, peasants, industrial workers doing 12 hour shifts 6 days a week, soldiers wiping out entire villages and salting fields, etc., in the past.
Humans sacrificed their children in the past and they are lining up to do it again. Any survivors will think that’s normal.
“Humans sacrificed their children in the past and they are lining up to do it again.”
Injecting an experimental gene altering cocktail with a redacted list of ingredients in their children in an attempt to save themselves is, in my opinion, child abuse.
@Not
ya, so is ice cream.
~toktomi~
What a flippant, insensitive remark, toktomi! Comparing ice cream to injecting a child with a dangerous vaccine, comparable to poison. You might want to rethink that statement if you expect to be respected in this forum.
It’s child sacrifice… like Paula says.
Humans did steal property that belongs to others in entire human history, but Americans still insist that only the socialists/commies are doing that. According to bellowed narrative, that’s what we are experiencing right this moment.
No one is stupid enough to believe larceny began with Karl Marx. There’s an Old Testament Commandment about it, for crying out loud!

The Russian Armed Forces have successfully conducted the first test launch of its state-of-the-art Zircon hypersonic missile from a nuclear-powered submarine, firing it at a target in the Barents Sea, in Russia’s Arctic north.
The Ministry of Defense published a video showing the successful test.
The Zircon, first produced in 2016, is an anti-ship missile capable of accelerating up to Mach 9. It has been designed to hit enemy surface ships, such as frigates and aircraft carriers, as well as ground targets located within the range of the missile.
Zircon’s speed (9,800-11,025 km/h) makes it difficult for it to be stopped by any anti-aircraft systems.
While this latest launch is the first time the missile has been fired from a nuclear submarine, it has already undergone testing from surface carriers.
Jarek: If the West is to have any future, it is Russian. A Russian EMP strike on Oceania and East Asia could sweep their pieces off the board. Russian soldiers would rush in to help us. Why not start studying Russian now? They will take some of our women. You will be amazed at how eager “our girls” are when the time comes.
Could very well be.
The Russians are much less of a threat to Western culture than the Democratic Party of the US.
I do not understand why either Russia or China is bothering with a lot of defense spending, the US is going to self destruct, all by itself.
Same thing with the US investing tons of defense money when the USSR was about to collapse.
You are right, maybe the finishing out of defense contracts.
Howard Hughes finished the Spruce Goose after the war was over, just to show it could be done. It flew once.
They don’t come anywhere near the US when it comes to defense spending.
That is because defense spending in the US is a codeword for massive graft and corruption, with a side of incredible waste and destruction of the environment thrown in. Not to mention the military is the biggest user of oil in the country. (No one will mention that as they bitch about gas prices and shortages, though. That’s how brainwashed we are.)
Russia and China spend enough to let the US know that if they go for the first blow, it will be their last. They have to, or face nuclear annihilation, as the dying empire thrashes out.
“That is because defense spending in the US is a codeword for massive graft and corruption, with a side of incredible waste and destruction of the environment thrown in.”
Yup…
Russia is neither building nor maintaining an empire.
They run their military much leaner. Their generals lead from the front. Their weapons systems have defense as a goal, along with deterrence, which you noted.
What I have been able to glean is they are years ahead of anyone else in weapons technology. Research Putin speeches where he reports on such developments on occasions such as annual addresses to various groups. Then look for the computer-generated demonstrations of the systems (likely will be in Russian).
China… an empire by other means building a military presence. I think it remains to be seen what they have in mind regarding their empire-building as this one collapses.
I’m reluctant to comment further.
because….
Still trying to grasp items such as the purpose of an allegedly former CCP general trying to buy 130,000 acres of land in Texas near a major military base for the alleged purpose of building a wind farm. (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/texas-stops-chinese-billionaire-from-building-wind-farm/ar-AAKrkeu)
Not much wind there, but the grid tie-in would be real. My understanding is the “airstrip” would be built to handle C130/C17 size aircraft. All positioned next to Laughlin Air Force Base.
While I’m at it, whomever is Brazil’s major trading partner through the past few centuries has served as a bellwether regarding the rise and fall of empires. Currently China has been on the rise with the US in decline.
This falls under research of historic trade partners to include Portugal, Spain, Britain, US, & now China as the leaders. Patterns do exist.
Interesting times indeed.
Interesting. I had never heard that before – Brazil being a bell-weather. Thank you.
The Chinese have been investing in US land and corporations for a long time. They own Smithfield’s, for instance.
They also own the Port of Cairo, located where the Mississippi and Ohio rivers meet.
My sister got a free horse probably 15 years ago. Some cowboy married a woman and took her to “his” ranch, where he had 200 horses. She thought she was living the dream.
But then he disappeared and the sheriff came knocking at her door.
Turns out a Chinese man owned that ranch, and her husband was just living there. I don’t think he was an employee, just a grifter.
Anyway, the sheriff gave the woman time to get rid of the horses before she was evicted, and the woman was frantically giving them away to anyone who would take one.
I told my sister we should do that. We drove by a nice looking abandoned place on a large piece of land. But there was a sign that it belonged to Betchel, so we thought the better of it.
Paula D,
So let me try to understand this. The Chinese owned the ranch but not the horses? Did 200 horses appear out of nowhere, owned by no one?
No, the cowboy owned the horses and he was squatting on the ranch, which his wife did not know until the sheriff came knocking.
That is why she had to get rid of them. They had lived there for a couple of years, as I understand it.
The Chinese dude didn’t know, because he was in China.
I don’t know how he found out.
The Ukraine girls really knock me out!
The owner’s manual says if they can knock you out in a fight, they won’t respect you.
Not sure about them taking our women.
See Martyanov’s blog here:
https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/2021/09/oh-not-again.html
As for the Russian advantage in advanced arms, get used to it. (Although I read that the USA just conducted it’s first successful test launch of a hypersonic missile).
“They’re coming to take our women!” Haha. World’s oldest line of propaganda to inspire soldiers. Best rebuttal “Clearly, they haven’t seen our women.”
Second biggest war phobia – being victim of anal rape. Maybe this is why no one has ever gone to war against San Francisco.
Below is a link to the epic 1965 movie “Dr Zhivago” where a Russian officer tries to stop the troops from deserting with claims the Germans are coming for their women. They weren’t buying it.

you call these conspiracy theories?
They are conspiracy theories. Ones that hang together.
It’s outrageous that the government/media complex has distorted the phrase ‘conspiracy theory’ to mean the equivalent of ‘looney tunes”.
Worse. They not only made proponents of “conspiracy theories” “Looney Tunes” but they also provided cover for their conspiracies making myriad facts implausible.

As for the supply chains, the saga of my mountain bike parts continues. I have been waiting 3 months for a new drivetrain for my Specialized bike. Still no ETA on the parts. They are probably sitting in one of those cargo ships lazily bouncing around out off of Long Beach. Maybe I should find out which one my parts are on, paddle my kayak out there, and pick them up myself.
I always figured we would go from Happy motoring, to bicycling, to walking as we collapsed. Now I guess the biking part might possibly be removed as an option and we will go straight to walking. That’s until the supply of footwear is gone, which all comes from overseas too. Then what? Well, sagebrush sandals were all the rage 9000 years ago, so there is that I guess. I better take a trip over to the High Desert Museum in Bend, OR and take some photos of the 9000 yo sandals found a few years back in Fort Rock Valley so we can copy the construction techniques.

Nice looking!
I’m not so sure at this point in life I’m up for such an off-road experience. However, in earlier times, I owned a hybrid which took me such places.
I am not a beginner and have been a road cyclist and MTBer for over 20 yrs., but I can assure you that starting up on a MTB isn’t too tough, and it is a ton of fun!
There are trails out there for all skill levels. Go for it.
I was just at the bike store picking up mine after its 8 month tune-up, and they had a lot of empty spaces in their shop where there used to be bikes. I asked the manager if she was having problems getting parts and she said “Yes” and that it’s really bad.
I’m so glad I got my bike when I did. And that it’s new, and probably won’t need replacement parts for quite some time.
The ride back was no fun, mostly uphill for 5 miles and it was in the mid-80’s.
Not smart of me to flirt with heat stroke.
Most bikes made after about the year 2000 and fitted with good quality kit (Shimano, Campagnolo), will not need replacement parts for many many years if maintained properly.
Modern bike drivetrains last forever.
Mine’s not an expensive bike, so I don’t know if it will last like those will.
kayak parts…easier than bikes
Give me a kayak and I’ll turn it into a starship.

On a thread yesterday where a bunch of people raised in the suburbs were wondering how much land they needed to make a living, it occurred to me (also raised in the suburbs) that back in 1865 they knew- 40 acres and a mule.
But I figured I would be called a ”racist” if I said that.
it really depends. what is “ownership”? how populated is your area? are the “back forty” ag-land stripped of everything for four decades? or some comparatively virgin forest? do you live next to a national park, or 100,000 acres of mcresidences? are you on a lake or ocean? can you predict events in your area 3 decades down the line?
A few years ago Putin was offering 40 acres and a yak to those brave souls willing to settle in the Russian Taiga. This is sounding better and better to me these days.
40 acres and a yak, don’t look back.

It simply cannot be done; can’t get there from here, for a plethora of reasons, not the least of which is the nearly complete lack of water on any available pieces of land.

Are you a believer in ivermectin? Is it a cure for Covid?
A believer?
Is this a serious question?
@Night Owl
Of course it is.
Were you imagining that you were in possession of some great TRUTH, rather than simply a personal opinion, just another story like everyone?
~toktomi~
How does one “believe” in a medicinal product?
There is either empirical evidence that it works, or there isn’t.
The floor is yours.
“Believer”?
This is the problem in a nutshell.
People “believe” in masks.
They “believe” in a lot of BS.
There is a difference between “I believe in . . . ” and “I am persuaded by the evidence that . . .”
Re covid19, there is a ton of evidence that Ivermectin, when taken at the correct stage in the development of the infection, and in the correct dose, and also if taken prophylactically, can effectively prevent the SARS-CoV-2 viris from replicating in cells and thus derail the progress of the illness of covid-19.
People believe in green energy.
People believe in racial equality.
People believe in the global state.
You still believe in one of these, right? And that Whites are uniquely evil thus cancelling it out?
Not a believer – I know it cures the symptoms of respiratory ailments stemming from viruses. I have several friends who used it and recovered in a couple of days.
It used to be a no-brainer & doctors prescribed it all the time.
The PTB couldn’t have that, because then they couldn’t justify their clotshots.
LIke only a month after the lockdown started I saw several videos of doctors at rallies talking about how they were already not being able to prescribe ivermectin and hydrochloroquine and they were aghast, as it had been cheap and safe for 40 years.
Who makes Ivermectin & HCQ?
And why are they not freaking out Legally for having their safe, effective, inexpensive products treated thusly?
Not being under patent at this point, manufacturing them is a wide open opportunity for operations with the capability.
It is also cheap. Read that as not much profit anymore, getting back to the expired patent thing.
Not much profit can translate into not worth the return on investment to start any legal proceeding by a manufacturer.
Look at how Merck is trying to do a profit driven money dance around their out-of-patent Ivermectin (much touted in 2005 : https://www.thedesertreview.com/opinion/letters_to_editor/merck-sees-the-light—provides-ivermectin-for-humanity/article_df5674ee-d530-11eb-98a1-3fc9e8ddc005.html

for a huge profit over cheap Ivermectin.
Regarding Plaquenil, here’s one source which pegs the HCQ price at less than 5 Euro per patient. (the price referenced is halfway through the article).
This info was all available certainly by February 2020, which is when i had sufficiently researched the evolving Sars-Cov-2 situation to seriously question the draconian steps being taken by places around the planet.
The journey started a bit earlier when reports regarding Dr. Li Wenliang and his observations in Wuhan appeared in late 2019 in South China Morning Post.
It continued with reading and watching interviews of Didier Raoult in Marseilles. I also read the English version paper by the Chinese doctors Dr Raoult references as part of the impetus to use Plaquenil, zinc and Azythromicin to treat patients successfully.
Do due diligence. Do your own research. This is out there, currently, for anyone to find. There is a lot of effort being expended to silence and discredit this information. As the saying goes “must be over target”. Another saying is “follow the money”.
Turns out, it’s all bullshit that it can’t be prescribed or filled. More utter nonsense!

Would we ever hear about it if they were?
“Who makes Ivermectin & HCQ?”
Small Pharma?
Generic dumb ass.
The Covid that does not exist? Maybe Covid is intestinal parasites that are killed by ivermectin? Oh, I forgot, there really is no such thing as Covid. So why all the fuss?
Because they’re killing everybody with toxic poison.
Are you serious?
I am starting to wonder if clotshot prions are eating your brain.
“You can start to wonder what, if anything, will be left standing of the life we once called ‘modern’ when Christmas 2021 rolls around.”
We’ll still have billions of people believing in Christmas fantasies… either the old ones or the new Covid patchwork of lies. And billions of people who want someone to come along and give them Free Shi… Stuff… from either a fat guy in a red suit or Democrats in DC with hearts full of Asia Red. We’ll have billions of people wanting someone else to solve their problems… either Christmas elves or Doctor ‘The Science!’ who in his all-seeing and all-knowing infallibility can dictate to everyone on the Planet what they must do and what they must believe and how they must act and how they should treat others… you know, just like regular religion.
Christmas 2021 may well be a Silent Night. The silence of trucks that aren’t running. The silence from family gatherings that won’t happen. The silence from the muted and erased voices of reason taken off social media who don’t worship the same false religion that is now a requirement for one’s participation in society. The silence of those tired of trying to awaken dead empty minds around them like frozen car batteries in the depth of frigid winter. Grind the engine all you want… ain’t nothing gonna start up. Not even when the weather thaws.
And Christmas 2021 will be anything but Holy. And all will certainly NOT be calm and not be bright. And no heavenly peace, that’s for damn sure.
“The daunting fact is that the country is leaderless, and at quite a bad time.”
The country is not leaderless. It’s leaders in the shadows are deliberately letting the train run off the tracks and into the raging river below. All the better to Build The Railroad Back Better in the form of one-way tracks to a final destination for most of humanity.
“Is it a coincidence, by the way, that four officers of the Federal Reserve have been outed for trading stocks and bonds in a pattern that looks an awful lot like front-running the Fed’s own ‘guidance’?”
Each of them have motivational posters on their walls that read, ‘IF YOU’RE NOT CHEATING YOU’RE NOT TRYING! TRY HARDER TODAY!’
“The country marinates in the fetid exudations of institutional rot, waiting for the lights to flicker out.”
Sounds like the business plan for Build Back Better. At least They have a sense of humor with their labeling.
yes, jimmy really underthought his remark when he claimed that the country is leaderless
there are satanically evil folks running the show purposely into the ground in order to grab untold powers for themselves

i~m actually starting to lean towards End Times lol
….given the utterly evil being propagated thruout the whirled
So it is written, so it shall be done.
God bless you, rube.
I am having those End Times leanings myself. The chief argument against this is that there have been many worse times in the history of the world.
The main argument in support of this is, as you stated, the level of evil and the world’s saturation with the promotion of evil.
You can also see that people are separating themselves pretty neatly into into sheep and goats. Individual decisions are being made at the metaphysical level. Everyone, almost without exception, is choosing–perhaps with finality–whether they believe in good or evil.
Can you hear the screaming the lambs? In the books, Clarice hooked up with Hannibal. But Jodie Foster, feminist saint, saw that as a betrayal of Starling and refused to do her duty and portray her.

Your wondering about Trump running for Pres. is legit, a few years before he even said he did not want the job.
However, a good dose of rich boy narcissism and an ego demonstrated by The Apprentice and “The Art of the Deal” gave him enough belief in himself to think he could try to reverse the evil Leftist trends.
He followed Nixon, Carter, Reagan, the Bushes as ego folks that thought they could make an impact on DC. He was, as they were, outgunned by a million fold.
Much to our detriment.
What? The Bushes did absolutely everything that they intended to do in DC, JAZ.
Mission Accomplished
With respect, do a deeper read, suggest starting with George Herbert Walker, Prescott Bush, Brown Bros. Harriman, Averill Harriman and Pamela Churchill.

OG, yes, they were quite successful by their measure of success.
Anyone else thinking about how the oil spill from the pipeline off Huntington Beach, CA is just another bit of icing on the cake to the cruel irony that is this word?
Perhaps this spill was orchestrated to keep prices inflated and keep the narrative going on the “green” energy?

I don’t feel bad about this at all. Maybe someone finally hit the kill switch and FB will never come back online! How great would that be? Zuck deserves it.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/04/facebook-instagram-and-whatsapp-are-down.html
Apparently Zuck lost like $6 billion due to this outage.
“Was just on phone with someone who works for FB who described employees unable to enter buildings this morning to begin to evaluate extent of outage because their badges weren’t working to access doors.”
Haha, that is rich! Sucks to be so invested in your technology. You know, a simple skeleton key would solve that problem in a heartbeat!!!

ZUCKERBERG deserves to have Facebook shut down?
FB is a major platform for sharing news and information horizontally, between the proles, instead of having ”news” handed down vertically, beamed into every person’s house, car or phone separately, for them to receive passively. FB allows us to evaluate the “news”, share rebuttals, offer our opinions and gather in resistance to our ruling overlords.
There has been a concerted effort to put a stop to this by our overlords, and part of that is a propaganda campaign getting people to support censorship of resistors. They do not like us talking among ourselves. And, of course, trotting out a ”whistleblower” to trash FB is part of that effort.
Why would any prole support the complete shutting down of horizontal communication, unless they have been programmed to hate and fear one man, on whom all the censorship (done by the Atlantic Council, et. al) is blamed?
Horizontal communication is essential if we are to survive at all.
That is why this blog is so cherished by so many people.
I support the shutdown of FB because of their censorship policies. I don’t know how you are able to access FB, but they certainly do not allow for the free dissemination of information anymore. It is nothing more than a plot to steal and sell all kinds of personal information.
Agree. FB is no more than a huge data-mining outfit.
They can mine ALL of your data (your use of other apps etc.) if you have FB on your device. And they do. That is their business plan. At the very least they should pay their users for their data, which they turn around and sell to others plus of course use to sell advertising.
But instead they use it to control what info they let you get to see.
And users actually think FB is a portal of some kind to the real world.
It is a real shame because the “horizontal” feature and the “connection” features are real—mainly because of the universality now of orgs and groups and individuals who rely on FB. So, for instance, people here and CFN who might like to find like-minded people to team up with and start a new community or something are more or less obliged to use FB. But by doing so they forfeit their privacy. I am not sure there is any such thing as a “limited” FB user (like an alcoholic who can have just one small drink a day).
Unfortunately the FB well is poisoned water.
Facecrook is disgusting
Weasel Zuckerberg stole some privileged WASP twins’ girl rating
page right out from under them.
He convinced millions of people to sell everything: image, likes, family, friends, interests to him.
For free
In return you can see how your high school sweetheart settled for a muffin-top and a life raising 3 homely kids.
Great service!
yes hahaha
What can men do against such reckless hate? Except become women…..
I think it should go the way of the cuckoo.
I like the idea of connected sites/blogs like we used to have. I think it’s the only way to actually freely share information with the least amount of censorship.
These monopolies are getting more and more totalitarian with their control. They also can shut you down without notice and then it’s just tough beans, because you can’t contact them or do anything about it.
You should see how many supporters/subscribers/commenters Alex Berenson had just 1 day after he was kicked off Twitter!
There are lots of alternatives popping up. I’m gonna support those.
@Cowbell/Facebook
Well, this is interesting.
I was just reading a review in The New Yorker (borrowed copy!) by Jill Lepore of “The Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook’s Battle for Domination,” by Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia King.
In the review it is stated, “In the US, about a third of the population routinely get their news from Facebook.” WTF??
Is it possible that the system goes down the day before the Whistleblower’s testimony so that FB’s users won’t get any news of it, since they won’t get any newsfeed at all?
Another factoid from the review: FB possesses the personal data of more than a quarter of the world’s people, 2.8 billion out of 7.9 billion.
No wonder it is so easy to spread propaganda and shape the view of the world. 2.8 billion? Well, I am not one of them, thank God.
It really is time to break up this company.
I DuckDuckGoed “facebook down” a few hours ago and read a few comments under the official notice from one link. The one that epitomized the predicament we’re all in:
“Oh no! I’m so bored. Who wants to talk?”
IF FB remained dark for two weeks, thousands of detox clinics would spring up to service the traumatized. A positive development.
Too bad, I just noticed FB & Instagram are back up.
A few years ago, a study was published that said that Facebook was as addictive as drugs or smoking. It’s effect on teens as called out as a big negative.
Could it be that the addiction to Facebook leads to the addiction to other things?
Actual whistleblowers are not featured on every mass media outlet. Jeez, how naive can people be?
She is part of the attempt to take down Facebook so that the proles cannot communicate with each other. That is why she is on every “news” program in the last couple of days.
I understand that fb has been increasingly censored since spring 2017, after Zuck and the others were hauled in front of Congress and threatened.
That is because allowing the proles to talk among ourselves was scaring our overlords.
Hence, the censorship, the demonization, the “leaks from whistleblowers”, the constant drumbeat of concern for our well-being. They really care about addiction, you see.
Go downtown in any big city and you can see for yourself how very, very much they care about the addicted.
Yup, as some have been warning lately, Peak Oil and other energy-related mayhem is back on the menu. Part of a richly intertwined tapestry of failures.
Just saw this for example. Based on BoA’s analysis we will see $100/barrel this winter:
https://www.rt.com/business/536421-boa-oil-surge-hundred-crunch/?tg_rhash=8b7b9f9e18d765
Much of this is self-inflicted, thanks to ol’ Joe’s crackdown on fracking. An ugly, land-devouring technology that was getting near curtain-time anyhow, but by squeezing out the dregs it was still helping us stave off Dark Age existence for a while longer.
Our “leadership” clearly wants nothing so much as to bring down the hatchet on every aspect of the life we’re used to as soon as (in)humanly possible. (Most of the decision-making for the last two years around the globe is more like “antileadership”, actually.)
@sevensec
Well, $100/bbl would certainly lend some insight into “when” the main act will be on stage, I’m thinking.
~toktomi~
Hmm… Lock downs plus home heating oil and natty gas shortages could certainly make things interesting. Might be the cue for making lock downs “communal” in nature, as in camps. Now that might be fun!
In Saskatchewan, if they cut our natgas in Dec. or Jan. or Feb. for not being jabbed, we will die.
When it is -30F outside, without a working furnace, it soon will also be -30F inside.
Don’t worry O.G., the Care Bears in Ottawa and D.C. won’t shut the gas off for not getting jabbed. I thought you had heard, northern rural white supremacists will shut the gas off. Probably a ceremonial explosion – or two – along Enbridge’s Line 5, possibly blowing up Governator Whitless in the process, to compliment the more mundane grid hack.
The only real question left is when will Dark Winter arrive – before or after the Super Bowl?
An African tried to break into Canada, from Minnesota, if I recall.
By walking in winter.
He lost his limb[s] and Canada now has him on welfare.
how can this be??! we’ve spent the last decade debunking peak oil.
those efforts cant have been in vain?
From the outer edges of Empire. I’d love to hear JHK’s (and anyone else’s) thoughts on this:

“Unavailability of Transportation” W.T.A.F. ???
Just as I have been thinking, everything is coming crashing down, lines are being cut, and things are coming apart at the seams. All of this seems to be happening on purpose, and all at once, to further a larger narrative.
Watch for something big to possibly happen soon!
of course it~s on purpose, everyone unable to travel, work, raise cattle and hence buy eat….all to save the environment for the self-styled kings
all on purpose
but you simply *must* get a shot while millions of illegals don~t have to
funny how the chinese are now landing their planes at a fully operational airbase in afghanistan, courtesy of the traitor in the WH
“Watch for something bigGER to possibly happen soon!
Do you mean that in a positive or negative sense.
I am fully expecting them to nominate that ghoul jester Lauterbach to health minister to replace the ghoul banker we have in there now.
the BIG will be rationing
government: “we are going to take care of everybody, no need to worry!”
“we will naturally cause lots of other supply / access problems, and everyone will eventually get used to us gradually cutting off their ability to travel, work, bank, eat and more! eventually, you won~t even think about it!”
“We announce that, due to shortages in staff and supplies caused entirely by us on purpose, we will unfortunately have to limit your access to medical treatment, only those with a very good prognosis – and under 50 – will be treated.”
“We love you.”
This administration will prioritize goods and services and give them to the gimmes first, especially the illegals.
We will all be gimmes now, JAZ.
And this this happens to the Ambassador Bridge outside Detroit:

I think that a large number of strange stories are beginning to coalesce. This will further crimp the supply chain. Events seem to be conspiring together and building to a crescendo.
Watch for something big to possibly happen soon!

“Nightlong in the cold

Conjecturing
How to catch the moon”.
-Masaoka Shinki
A good 5.4.4.5 poem but what is it about? Biden?
The monkey man in 2001 was throwing a crowbar that was given to him by his descendants. Time is circular. We are his ancestors and his descendants. And he is ours. Disaster has already happened in the future. He waits for us. He will teach us to walk on all fours, so as to strengthen our arms the better to climb trees. It will be hard on our rigid, deformed, straight backs.
Coyote knows that it’s coming. Disaster in the future. Coyote always waits, waits with the piercing arrow of time.
Even so, coyote will be at our heels as we run for the trees. Then, if necessary, he will wait. Coyote always waits.
ADVICE FROM A COYOTE
Be curious.
Adapt to your surroundings.
Travel under the stars.
Keep your ears open.
Know when to make tracks.
Have a howling good time!
Hey coyote.
That is quite possibly the most profound thing you’ve said on here.

Tried to pull up the complete free last waltz to share with you all but it’s gone behind a paywall. Re: coyote.
Instead, here’s an out take,
https://youtu.be/ynONNMxCaOM
” Is not diversity in the Universe the rule and homogeneity not the exception? ”
It seems to me that homogeneity may just be diversity in a slightly different guise.
McDonald’s in California , and McDonald’s in Korea , and McDonald’s in Russia , doesn’t really strike me as diversity .
Whatever the virtues of McDonald’s may be.
Then I consider the cultures and countries that make up the international shit list.
Iran
Syria
North Korea
Sudan.
MAYBE it is a coincidence that they are all nations that have gone their own way , cultures that are markedly different or exceptional ?
Or maybe not coincidental.
” Apart from a few thousand medics, most of them were all in for the Big Lie. They need to be reminded of what happened to Hitler’s docs at Nuremberg. They will never gain the trust they once had. ”
I got the exact opposite impression from Nuremberg.
It looks to me like most physicians joined the SS ,
not because they were racist homicidal cranks.
But because they figured it would help their careers. — And it did — until , OOps , Germany lost the war.
As for the homicidal part ; Being told by an entire society that you are the elite , I suspect , provides a great deal of fuel for rationalization.
Joseph Mengele’s son asked him why he didn’t go back to Germany and face the music ?
Mengele replied that it wasn’t justice they were after , but revenge , and it wouldn’t change a thing.
I think he was right.
Not least because he has been proven right.
That Punch and Judy show at Nuremberg changed nothing.
Being told by an entire society that you are the elite , I suspect , provides a great deal of fuel for rationalization.
Americans were raised to Believe that they are exceptional (like the Mayor’s little Princess, one presumes).
Dear OG,
You often bring a lot to the conversation, but your constant snipping at Americans is tiresome.
JHK is American. I am American. Most people here are American.
Without the USA, in the the 20th century, Britain, and by extension, Canada, are zeroes.
Intellectually, America would have been better off NOT coming into WWI, and letting the Germans and English/French sign an armistice (however, then the altering of history would have negated my existence, and millions of others, while allowing millions of others to live…). A lot more Canadians and Brits would have perished in the trenches, but in the long run, your countries would probably be better off too…
The people in this space are more aware than most of America’s failures.
But perhaps they’re not as aware of Canada’s. Perhaps you can enlighten us. Or if Canada is going to do so much better during the Long Emergency, tell us proudly.
Canada is exceptional in its own ways—-few of which appeal to me. The most important Canadian exceptionalism is that the new Canadian is the prototype for…”The New World Person (not man or woman)” that the the big reset is striving for. A world citizen, not a Canadian. Yes, the same global reset which the powers that be KNOW will mitigate all our resource constraints and lead to the dawn of a new era…
And I know you don’t buy into the big reset, so stop snipping at America (unless you live here)
No. The USA stomps all over the planet running other countries’ governments, resources, elections, etc. while occupying their land and bitchin’ about not being appreciated for it.
My criticism of Americans’ delusions of exceptionalism will continue.

I’m old and was born 20 years after the end of World War II.
Anything pre-11/22/1963 is a different country than after that coup d’etat in Dallas that day. We all know that.

I never said anything about Canada under our dear Queen Lizard so you’re Just running on a bunch of bad assumptions while I face Reality.

Do you think that Americans are above Honest criticism?
Do you not know that criticism can actually be a spring-board to self-reflection and, Hopefully, improvement?
Do you not know that living outside of the USA (i.e. 95.7% of people) provides a view of America impossible to see from within?
You probably think that criticizing Israeli foreign policy is Anti-Semetic, Right?
—–
I mean, c’mon man! Exceptional? Exceptional Cheez-Doodle eaters maybe.
the thing is OG… the whole world is basically complicit in “americanism”… especially countries that like to dabble in pretensions to superiority to all things “american”.
and canada’s up there on that list.
so it’s not your criticism of american “exceptionalist” notions… it’s your apparent (maybe just appearance) presumption that any other part of the world is very distinctly different, or morally separated, from usa hegemony…that irks me a little
? what do you think
I don’t think most Americans believe in American ‘exceptionalism’ really. And then half of those are not really very patriotic, per se.
So putting us all in one basket is just not accurate.
GR22, I do not know this “Americanism” that you speak of but I can most definitely assure you that, once all the Americans are out of earshot, we laugh our asses off at youse and your delusions of exceptionalism. TruStory
That’s it. It has nothing to do with Canada or Austria or Argentina. The topic is Americans who Believe themselves exceptional.
No other cirizens have had such delusions since the Nazis.
National delusions are bad, imho.
—–
Right, Mary. I am not talking about all Americans – just the millions who delusionally consider themselves exceptional while they destroy other countries and, when counting the dead from their actions, only count their own!
@OG
okay…but the same class of the us population that genuinely believes in some kind of real usa exceptionalism today…. a dwindling number at a low intelligence level…. an analagous class in any other country in the world has nearly equivalent beliefs. They believe in industrial-revolution-type technological development being a great vehicle for liberation of common people from historical oppression, essentially. This is “americanism”, and its global. Outside of that global sentiment, theres very little real “american exceptionalism” left.
So it sounds, to my ear, like you beat a dead horse when you preach the anti-usa-exceptionalism.
At the same time, i get it. I think exceptionalism still had life in the usa 20 years ago. So it may just be that your exceptionalism takes just strike me as slightly dated by a decade or two is all.
I swear you are Martin Armstrong.
Martin….socrates, detroit.

“We are announcing that, in order to take care of everybody as best we can, no more single-family housing will be allowed. You will have to take in other individuals, including illegal immigrants, in order to fairly share the burden of high heating costs and not impact women and minorities.
Naturally, this does not apply to our 75,000 sq. ft. mansions.”
===>>>The End of Private Housing<<<===
plainly obvious what~s going on
Leftists can only ~solve~ problems by banning, restricting, choking the life out of the people.
They are evil by nature and megalomaniacal.
So we~re once again at the pre-war stage with these maniacs, who need to be exterminated once every 2-3 generations when the bloody price of freedom has been wholly forgotten.
Near as I can tell , two , three , or four generations living under the same roof was the norm , world – wide , since forever.
My favorite scene in , ” The last of the Mohicans ” with Daniel Day Lewis ;
Woman asks — Why do people come to this place , this wilderness , to be scalped and murdered by Indians , and such ?
Guy replies — After 7 years Indentured servitude in Virginia , people come out here because it is the only land available for poor people.
— i.e . land and housing wasn’t cheap , even when there were a hell of a lot less people , and a hell of a lot more land.
I told people , still tell people , that to build a norm around something that is anything but a norm , but rather a freakish condition , is sure cause for future grief.
But people are fucking greedy and vain and impervious to sense.
Or , people took for granted what their parents , grandparents , and friends told them .
Didn’t read a history book that would have told them a very different story.
That what their parents , grandparents , and friends told them was Disneyland bullshit.
There are a few million guns out there that might prevent this abuse.

Based on my previous studies in statistical funny business in genocides ,
I got suspicious.
I went to Wikipedia and looked up the population of Italy.
65+ million.
” Getting hammered by the virus ” with a maximum fatality rate of less than one in a hundred ?
Uh – huh.
And not particularly complicated.
Still doesn’t register with most people. Just utter madness, isn’t it?
From December, 2020, isn’t this just the most stupid insane thing you’ve ever heard:

BTW they did that with the forced masking, too!
I wonder how to fact-check this.
Og, he forgot the big international exemptions like WEF and all those other top down alphabet agencies, globally.
ammunition confiscation on the horizon
children reporting parents with guns
i do see secession as an entirely possible outcome, with Florida and Texas being in the movement~s vanguard.
The funny thing about the freak show going on is that non-compliance would render them unable to implement their satanic plans.
hence they must continuously strike abject fear into the populace.

” As a result of our dangerous social media environment, fewer Americans are believing in the proven need for the American military to invade countries and help them to develop women’s rights and equality for the LGBTQ community and protect the territorial integrity of the state of Israel. ”
Lol , fucking – A !
” Another finding of the survey was that a majority of Americans are anti-Semitic, and falsely believe the discredited canard (which many scholars believe is also a trope) that it is possible to negotiate with Iran.
Fewer than half support defending Israel by starting a war against Iran to prevent their aggression and protect women and gays. ”
I don’t know. 🙁
I doubt it is safe for me to start wearing my Ayatollah Khomeini T – shirt with the legend ;

They want to raise the debt-ceiling so that they can steal more?
It’s like an episode of the Simpsons.
I recall that several years ago, Colonel Frank Wilkerson, once bemoaned that just soldiers salaries and benefits alone would eventually bust the US military budget. It’s like the corrupt, kleptocratic palace Eunuchs stealing everything during the rapid decline of a Chinese dynasty….
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/watch-live-biden-holds-press-conference-on-debt-ceiling/
But these aren’t eunuchs. The Balls on Biden. Full faith and credit of the United States. Rock solid. Raise the debt ceiling to pay off old debt.
The mind boggles. Lies from an ossified, obscene, obscurantist.
Yes and no. It’s a debt-based economy – ALL the money you have or have ever had is government debt – so borrowing is essential and just represents the size of the overall monetary economy. That said, because it IS fiat debt-based, based on an exponential paradigm, there are necessarily limits on large the balloon can be inflated. We haven’t found that limit yet, but one certainly gets the sense that we’re about to. Were the dollar not the global reserve currency due to 20th century gunboat diplomacy and nuclear terror, the US debt Ponzi would have already long-since collapsed. That day is now on the horizon and approaching fast.
Those container ships aren’t idling offshore.
They’re dropping anchor. And striking oil.

Too many generations have been lost.

Too expensive.
Obsolete.
The American ‘Left’ is insane, energetically so (notwithstanding the geriatric in the Oval Office), its leadership and thinkers spouting lunacies, out of control, crazier by the day, their collective mental disorder a runaway train. But no matter how nuts they are, they inhabit a mind-space with enough people, sharing enough delusion, that they retain a robust base of support.
By contrast, the American ‘Right’, as represented by traditional Republicanism, is senile, enfeebled, depleted, its ideas co-opted by their political adversaries, repainted and remarketed as ‘liberalism’, a global system of rules enthusiastically promoted as a positive good, the pinnacle of political philosophy, the best hope for humanity, which no right-thinking person could repudiate or would even try.
Of course, repudiate is what Trump did, the utter lack of traction of this ‘liberalism’ with tens of millions of voters evidenced by his overturning and domination of the Republican Party. And his election win.
Too late I think. No matter that he promoted a viable alternative order, circumstances were and are too far gone. If the choice was between controlled demolition and uncontrolled collapse, the march of events made the decision.
Impediments in the form of time and space and geography, of easily communicable disease, the reality of contending and competitive governing ideologies which have a good deal of purchase with large swathes of people in other countries, of human nature, of ethnic affirmation and racial solidarity, all act against this ‘liberal’ vision. Not to mention considerations of practicality and simple common sense.
It was never going to work. And while it acted to enrich, sometimes exorbitantly, a segment of American society and similarly some people overseas, and so was touted as a successful model by these same people, its time is drawing to a close.
The garbage barge of dumpster fires is part of an accretion disc of epic disorders, global in scale, and it’s not a question of if or whether it crosses the event horizon to be swallowed by history’s Black Hole of failed arrangements, it’s a question of when.
Well said, Proton.

Look into the face of Frances Haugen. You want to tell me she’s not fucking crazy?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lx5VmAdZSI
She may be sincere. And of course none of this is good for kids. So she’s right about that. But everyone knows that who cares to know. But her main focus is “hate”. Defined by whom? This could be some kind of Op for all we know. If you don’t hate, you are either a saint or a marshmellow. Ten to one her definition of hate is very Bidenesque.
Obvious psyops to me, for one thing, she wants MORE censorship. For another, since when does the MSM give all this attention and platform to whistleblowers? The only time is when they are controlled op.
I don’t buy much of this shit any more.
Ya. It seems that Facebook is the whipping boy lately.
Well, the PTB want them to censor more so in that regard, yes, but they are also a behemoth who is already censoring people and steering them toward getting jabs and using shit ‘fact checkers’ that spew propaganda and bullshit.
So, fuck ’em.
Ya. It seems that Facebook…etc. – OG
===========
OG, when you type Ya how does your mind’s ear pronounce that word? As yah or as yeah? Certainly not as yay. I will guess the answer is yeah. If so, why don’t you type yeah?
When MY eyes see Ya my mind’s ear hears yah. Is that what you want my mind’s ear to hear?
I don’t know, Q. I never understood the ‘yeah’ spelling for what we say up here in The Great White North. ‘Ya’ not ‘yah.’
I used to spell it ‘yeah’ … but my 24 y.o. son texts ‘Ya’ and I like it.

MQ it could be exactly as you say.
1) Set the whistleblower up to look like she’s gone rogue;
2) have her message actually be totalitarian/pro-establishment;
3) give her a platform & get millions on board.
Mission accomplished.
Pretty much.
America is the upside-down country where everything is the opposite of what the ruling establishment says it is.
If they say ‘hate’, and accuse someone of hating, it’s actually the accusers guilty of that same accusation.
How many times have we seen this? Who is actually the threat to American democracy?
Knowing what I know now, I wouldn’t want to be rich.
It apparently makes people insane.
I don’t know anybody who’s rich that’s happy. Being flush with dough looks good from the outside. And, no question, in a lot of ways it is.
But they get rid of one set of problems and then replace them with others. No doubt you’ve seen it too.
I’ve seen it in spades!
I wouldn’t change places with any rich people I know.

Define rich.
Define ‘rich’?
Ok, well, it’s like that judge defining obscenity; he knows it when he sees it.
I know people in management and professional ranks that make a lot of money, easily in the hundreds of thousands annually. I would call them ‘rich’.
They have nice houses, nice cars, expensive attire, the whole material success story.
And while they’re successful work-wise, their lives otherwise are total messes. You know the drill, disastrous marriages, ugly divorces, too much booze, screwed up kids, the whole calamity.
LOL, this answer about being wealthy ended up under the wrong comment.
Yes: What the establishment accuses us of, they are doing or are planning to. That’s how I know what they are plotting!
That’s a man, baby!

Trading on insider information and front-running the suckers are practices sanctified by time and honored by usage. It’s how money is made in securities markets.
Besides, I mean, can anyone draw a bright line between good and diligent market research and illegitimately obtained nuggets? Anyway, I’ve heard it said that stocks of takeover targets rise months in advance of actual announcements. Wall Street is a not nice place. Never has been. There’s people with information, those being insiders to the game. They get rich. And then there’s you. Good luck.
There is a reason that the ‘hate speech’ bullshit has come around again.
Hate speech laws seek to end free speech. This is their work-around. It happened in Scotland, don’t let it happen in the US. They will call anti-vaxx speech “hate speech”. They will call any counter to the trans agenda “hate speech” (well, they already do). They will call any opinion that is not approved by the establishment narrative “hate speech.”
We already have laws against libel, defamation, etc. We don’t need a ‘hate speech’ law. One cannot legislate someone’s emotional reason for saying or doing something. Stop buying into bullshit because you are empathetic. They use it against us. Over and over.
‘Hate speech’ is as Orwellian a term as I’ve heard. I wonder what Orwell would make of it.
Sounds a bit too close to “two minutes hate” doesn’t it?
I’m not sure it’s correct, but I have heard that 1984 was not a speculative sci – fi future dystopia — kind of thing.
It was instead very much like his other work , ” Animal Farm ” ;
An illustration in fictional form of circumstances that were already commonplace in the 1940’s.
It had very little in common with Star Trek.
Was of the same basic type as Gulliver’s Travels.
And that’s my own take on it.
1984 was an inversion of 1948, and was inspired by the Hungarian uprising.
Exactly. George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-four has very little in common with Star Trek.
It also fits with the inversion pattern. Everything that comes out of the people driving the insanity around us is hateful.
” Stop buying into bullshit because you are empathetic. ”
Ugh , it sounds terribly self – flattering ( ? ) , but I reckon I am empathetic.
And THAT is WHY I never liked the look of hate speech laws.
Not one bit.
Example ;
I’m opposed to open immigration.
= I must hate immigrants !
No , I’m opposed to open immigration because I have no doubt that flooding the country with ever more cheap labor is going to be bad news —
— for Whites.
— for Blacks
— for immigrants themselves.
bad news for the working class , bad news for the middle class.
I guess you COULD say I hate rich people ?
I have a deep suspicion THAT is the demographic hate speech laws are really defending.
” Hate speech laws seek to end free speech. ”
The end of free speech is bad news for Madonna and Bill Gates ?
Or the end of free speech is bad news for Joe Nobody ?
The truth is THERE , in that equation.
Whatever group at the moment you are told hate speech laws are supposed to defend , it’s a lie.
Hate speech laws ultimately will only serve the purposes of those who can afford 500 – dollar – an – hour lawyers / people who can afford thousand – dollar – a – second TV commercials.
“I have a deep suspicion THAT is the demographic hate speech laws are really defending.”
Exactly. It benefits the totalitarians in charge.
not to be Q-ish but…

Thank you – I wasn’t thinking!

Showing empathy for others, and recognizing their feelings etc; empathic
showing empathy or ready comprehension of others’ states

Records and record players ?
I seem to recall the chic revolutionary in , ” V ” had records and , I think it was a jukebox instead of a cheapie record player.
I suppose this was supposed to show materially his chic revolutionary bona fides .
Speaking of George Orwell , 1984 , and an Oceania where everything is the opposite of what is claimed ,
The music INDUSTRY is like that.
Musicians are supposed to be Bohemian types , even revolutionaries .
I don’t think so.
A guy gets paid for a song he wrote and sang 40 years ago.
Hey , I really don’t have a problem with comfort , or with profit.
But a guy isn’t getting paid 40 years later for a song he wrote and sang 40 years ago so he can afford this ;

Rampant inflation will soon destroy this once great nation. Car prices up 30% this year, and another 30 – 40% next year. Houses up 25% and another 30% next year. Do the math. Game over within 2-3 years time. And the media won’t cover any of it. Old white Joe is the greatest POTUS ever, they say. Sadly, over 60% of voters swallow.
They’re driving us out of cars too be ahead of the fact that there soon won’t be any fuel available to power them. They’re driving us out of real estate – rents are up even more too! – to be ahead of the fact that homeless encampments – soon to be followed by isolation camps – are the future for the living, with a global reset in the “next life” for the rest.
The careerism that so many embrace. The ambition. The hubris. It’s Pyramid worship.
If someone really wants to serve in a profession, well that something else again. Many think they do, or they may actually, but they get corrupted. Even Jim Jones might have been sincere in his desire to help the poor in the beginning. He didn’t stop the monster inside himself from taking over.
I started to hate the medical profession long before this Covid business
Why ?
One reason ;
You wind up having to go to the emergency room anyway , because you have to make an appointment to see these princes during banking hours .
You would have bled out and died by then.
Anyway ;
Make an appointment ?
Who the Hell do you think you are ?
You don’t make an appointment to see me , do you ?
I think you so often see the truth in very little things.
Yep. And the latest scam (actually, ongoing for some time now), is one complaint and one usually interim “solution” per appointment. Period. Got a shoulder problem? OK, come on in in six weeks and we’ll take a look at it. Then we’ll need an X-Ray, that’s separate. And while we’re at it, let’s get some blood work too just for the fuck of it. And hey, might as well start some PT too. Then come back in another six weeks or so and we’ll start all over again. Cortisone shot? make an appointment. Hip is hurting now too? Totally separate deal, make an appointment. Then we’ll need an annual checkup. And schedule you for some of tasty vaxxes. All separate appointments. See the nice lady at the front desk. Sure hope you brought that bank card with you today! You’re gonna need it!
Yes, this is typical in the USA.
My brother reports that this is NOT the case in Holland.
They deal with everything on one visit, any tests are done the next day, etc.
USA’s Big Med is a racket. Americans my age & older were brain-washed: “Socialism Bad!” instead of simply understanding that removing profit and, therefore, profit motive from Public Health is Good.
So your med is ran by organized crime.

You don’t make an appointment to see me , do you ? – Kesa
============
It’s not the need for an appointment per se that is the problem. It is the keeping of the appointment that is the problem. You NEVER get to see your PCP at the appointment time. A typical experience for me is this:
I make a 10 AM appt for a date 7 weeks from the present. That is the first available time. I show up at 9:55 AM on the specified date. I check in at the front desk, pay my co-pay, if applicable and get my parking deck ticket stamped. I’m a little bit early because I don’t want to be late. At 10:20 I am called by a rookie nurse holding a clipboard to follow her to a room. On our way to the room we stop near the nurses station where there is a scale. I am weighed. If it’s a hot summer day I have on 5 pounds of clothes. If it’s a cold winter day I have on 15 pounds of clothes. But nobody gives a shit about the difference compared to my stark naked weight. Not sure what they do with these weight readings.
We proceed to an empty exam room. Rookie nurse takes my blood pressure and other “vitals” and reviews the list of meds I’m on. She asks the purpose of my visit. She is typing a hundred miles an hour into a computer. She leaves and says the doctor will be in shortly. At 10:30 a young rookie doctor (male or female but lately, more often than not, female) comes in and goes through the identical routine that the rookie nurse just went through. I inform this doctor that “I am significantly hearing impaired” (in the old days we might have said deaf but that term is now pejorative and politically incorrect) and I request that he/she lower the Covid face mask so I can see his/her lips. (Young people have no idea that a great majority of old people must lip-read in order to hear.) The young rookie doctor is momentarily a little taken aback at this request but gathers his/her self and rolls an additional 2-3 feet away from me and lowers the mask. We discuss my list of current medical complaints and issues. The doctor takes copious notes, leaves and says my doctor will be in shortly. This next doctor will be my actual assigned “primary care physician.” She (a young Asian Indian) enters the room at 10:50 and covers all the identical ground covered by the rookie nurse and rookie doctor. She appears to be very competent and empathetic to my various conditions.
She reviews and makes certain adjustments to my meds and sends off electronically to my pharmacy any required prescriptions. I leave the office at 11:10 and head for the parking deck that will cost $2 or $3. The 3 medical people I have seen are all part of the massive Robert Wood Johnson Hospital system, a teaching hospital.
Q. Shtik
I’ve discovered a way to speed up my doctors appointments. Instead of waiting in an exam room talking to an endless stream of clueless med students, I drive to a nearby airport. Five hours later I land in Puerto Vallarta Mexico, a five minute taxi ride from my Primary Care physician’s office. The level of personalized care he and his staff provide is unobtainable anywhere in the US short of having your own private doctor on your payroll. .
If I need a round of blood tests or MRI’s or if I combine my visit with dental work, the cost savings usually covers the cost of air fare. And an afternoon on my friend’s sailboat (who is retired in Neuvo Vallarta) is the perfect break from Wyoming’s icy wind!
By the way, my doctor doesn’t notify anyone in the US as to whether I am in the class of Untouchables that are (soon) to be denied medical care unless they are i genetically altered by being injected with UNvaccines.
Life imitates art. It feels like a wondrous pre covid pre Biden safe space. The covidians and bidenites (so you are really serious that someone voted for him?, – its still not computing for me – ) will tell you that art imitates life. And there is your reason for a legit divorce but what’s the point of relitigating 2019. In two months time perhaps few will have the luxury to ponder it at all. Which is an intense confirmation that indeed the frog was boiled very slowly.. and suddenly died. Is the supply and energy crunch organic or is it yet another scamdemic so to speak? And with all the very clear shadiness of everything essentially who could even honestly field the question? So tbhwu I assume its all another step in the literal attempt to usurp the planet by some behind the curtain, amorphous, Satanic Dr. Evil. The fact that “Joe” is such a poor puppet may prove they don’t have time for the aesthetics on this one and thus the reason everything seems to be happening all at once. They are flooding the zone to disrupt, derail, discourage, disperse, disband, dispossess, and destroy all objections and objectors. Before the massive scam unravels to a mass red pill. Most crises are fabricated so that they cannot be wasted. A perpetual state of crises for one is perpetual opportunity for another. Turn it off and shut it down now.

“Garland has instructed the FBI to mobilize against parents who oppose critical race theory in public schools, citing (completely unnamed) ‘threats’. The National School Boards Association had complained to the Biden administration, describing the protests as a ‘form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes’.
https://spectatorworld.com/topic/beginning-democrats-biden-defeat-merrick-garland-critical-race-theory/
The broad term of “domestic terrorist” gets broader by the day. Now parents who want a voice in what a child is taught in publicly funded schools are being herded into pen. This is the Merrick Garland Obama wanted on the Supreme Court.

You have a very odd sense of humor as that is simply not funny.
Fact is this kind of post comes off as almost troll like.
Are you all watching what the nut jobs on the left are doing to Kyrsten Sinema? She is representing a state that is more conservative than most. Same with Joe Manchin.
Is it mere coincidence that the Gestapo techniques used by the Left are the same as the mob? Or is the mob now incorporated into the Democratic Party, along with the Mexican cartels? The trail of murders of politically damaging people is long. The fact that these aholes continue to get away with the intimidation they do is indicative of the state of this country.
Do you remember the intimidation used by the government of Russia in the 50s to the USSR breakup? America is there.
The “Democrat Party” is a deeply criminal organization. Likely worse than any mafia or drug cartel you can imagine. The Republican Party is also a criminal org, but they aren’t as competent in their criminality as the Democrats. If there were ever to be any hope for the country both parties would have to be disbanded, dissolved and utterly obliterated

This is a very disturbing situation. Reminds me of the brownshirts roughing up heads of state in pre-war Germany. But I am guessing that the ‘students’ harassing Sinema are probably operatives, and have been given their marching orders.
Sinema and Manchin are holding up the 6uild 6ack 6etter program (thanks, N.O.) and so the strong-arming begins. Good on Sinema and Manchin.
It’s hard to believe that anyone seeing this situation can not help but see the hypocrisy. If Trump had shrugged his shoulders and said it was “all part of the process” if a female had been followed into a restroom and harassed, the feminists and media would have gone berserk.
And where are the members of Congress standing up for her? And demanding apologies? I’ve said it before but I’m going to say it again — what would John F. Kennedy have to say to this Democratic party we have today? Would he even recognize it?
The Dem hypocrisy has been off the charts for years, now it’s entered the realm of completely insane.
What would JFK sa? today?

I Got Mine
Now I went down to a big crap game
Certainly was against my will
I lost every doggone nickel I had
But a greenback dollar bill
Forty dollar bet laid on the floor
My buddy’s point was nine
Well, the police they come in there
And caught all of us
But I got mine
[Chorus]
I got mine, let me tell ya
I got mine
I grabbed that money
Out the back door I went flying
Well, ever since the big crap game
I’ve been livin’ on chicken and wine
I’m a leader of society
Since I got mine
Yay capitalism ! Oh wait – that’s just human nature. All these massive social programs and yet not one deals with the quandaries of human nature. Forgive me for thinking that is very intentional.

============
Speaking of Christ, anti or otherwise, on Sunday, near the end of the prior blog thread I left a long winded comment/question having to do with athletes making Christian-type virtue signals. I mentioned you, OG and messianicdruid specifically as CFN big Christians hoping for some kind of response. Messi responded (lamely) but I got nothing from you or OG or any other commenters on this site for whom Christ is their Lord and Savior. Perhaps youse guys didn’t see my comment or just didn’t want to tackle the absurd situation of the field goal kicker who found it necessary to bless himself a second time.
I look forward to y’all’s response.
Hispanic ball players used to make the sign of the cross with their bat when they came up to the plate. Yogi Berra once said, Aw why don’t you just let him watch the game?
Hahaha! Perfect. Yogi was a quote machine.
Jar, you have avoided the point entirely. You should go into politics.
How so? I think Yogi answered it well. Why invoke God on something where He is naturally neutral since no moral question is involved?
How so? I think Yogi answered it well. – Jarek
=========
Yes, Yogi DID answer it well. He used sarcasm as a put-down to the Hispanic players (if indeed this anecdote about Yogi is true. You have to admit that Yogi is given credit for practically every off-the-wall statement ever made by anybody).
And then you said “Why invoke God on something where He is naturally neutral since no moral question is involved?” Why, one wonders, don’t priests tell their flocks to stop invoking the Supreme Being/Jesus Christ to influence the outcome of a football game or any other sport? “It’s embarrassing” the priest should say.
BTW, I see nothing in your response to tell me you actually went back to the prior thread and read my comment.
You mean from last week? Why don’t you repost it?
I don’t pray for day to day things like that personally. Maybe someone who does could answer you better.

Truly if you hear Him calling and have a platform and feel the need to share your love of Jesus Christ of Nazareth knowing that it may help other souls, God bless you and your journey.
Q, are we supposed to be ashamed of ourselves? What would make you happy – no public display of faith?
Why are you offended?
I think they do it as a matter of ritual and last to annoy the Godless heathens called Progressives.
Hey Q, thanks for caring enough to bother asking. I’ve been searching the concordance below for your answer. The very young Jacov asks the Virgin Mary about the outcome of a football, (soccer), game in the early 80’s, in what is now Bosnia Herzegovina, and she gives him a stupendous reply, but I can’t find it, maybe you can. Search bar, lower left column.

In the NT, they prayed then drew lots to choose disciples I think.
We are taught to do nothing without praying. For me, that’s usually asking my guardian angel to protect others when I drive.
Like I said on the other thread. They’ve done their preps, now they have to give it up to God. The sign of the cross is a blessing on anything and anyone at anytime. For His glory.
I’d be blessing all food and drink before eating these days.

and Q, if you look at that quote by yogi, it could go either way. A believer Deist, like George Washington for example, would believe it was a stupid superstition to sign the cross that way, because he believed God made the world and left us to our own devices.
But even he had a vision of an angel.
Sorry for repeating myself, but this is what’s gonna happen,
Soon. Time will stop, the sky will go black. The only thing you’ll see is a cross defined by light exuding from the wounds of Christ crucified.
You 2ill see your conscience in the light of God. Every hurtful thing you’ve ev3r doneand all the good you did not do.
Many will die. There will be 6 to 8 weeks of peace to get good with God. Go to confession. Bring the priest a sandwich, he’s gonna need it.
YOU MUST DITCH ALL ELECTRONICS RIGHT THEN.
After the 6/8weeks, the AntiChrist shows. News announces this was some galatic electronic phenomina. If you look at the AC he owns you.
All electronic signals, even 2 g will be tracked.
They will track and kill you.
Sometime after the warning you will get tapped.
Follow the angel whever he goes.
Refuges are already ready to go. In 3.5 years it’s over. Fresh start, new earth. No electricity.
More info? Garabandal the warning.
One would have thought that the makers of the jabs would have thought to test peoples’ immune systems afterwards. Yet another glaring warning sign, that this isn’t about making people safe, but the complete opposite.
You are 100% correct.
The Health care organizations are criminally negligent regarding the virus itself’s effects and the effects of the vaccine.
Anti-vaxx side. The vaxx is a killer. 49000 so far within 14 days of the shot.
We do not know if it is a killer. We do not know if the mRNA or the proteins are doing bad things. All we have is conjecture from a small group of folks. We do not know:
How long the mRNA lasts?
How long the Spikes last?
Autopsy data showing mRNA or spike damage
Vaccine antibody or memory cell data, even how long they last.
Does the shot quality allow blood infusion of the mRNA? How much variability of the amount of blood transfer can cause clotting, etc?
What happens in other organs when too much mRNA goes into the blood stream? It was modeled on muscle tissue.
VAERs is worthless without data reduction. Is anyone interested?
Is delta impervious to vaccines? What is the reinfection rate of delta over vaxxed people, over people that have had the disease. Does the speed of infection of delta make vaccines only mildly effective?
Vaxx apologists say that it will make infection not as intense, reduce deaths and hospitalizations. Does it?
1 1/2 years into this whatever it is and we know nothing.
We have an vaccine that is only partially effective and we have masks. Whoopee!
Yesterday during the [faked?] blackout at Fakebook, the workers could not get in as the doors open electronically.
I know, this was one of the best parts of their problem! I laugh at the ignorance of high tech complexity. A simple skeleton key would have solved this problem. Give me an old fashioned lock and key any day!
I bet the government could use this tactic to keep people with smart locks out of their houses if they have not been jabbed.
consider cars that are auto pilot, drive peeps to FEMA ‘dorms’
..and doors-windows wont open until you get to yr new home.
And all new smart cars film and record everything you say and do. Looks like the camera is near the passenger door, front seat.
For this reason (sort of) I have a seat belt cutter and window breaking tool in the door pocket for easy access if I need eather in an emergency.

You must understand, typing pail was NOT a typo. A typo happens when you hit the wrong key on your keyboard which is almost always a key adjacent (right, left, up or down) to the intended key.
“Pail” is funny because it’s a real word and it instantly evokes the image of a bucket that is standing in as descriptive of someone’s complexion.
The word eather is worth no more than one “ha” since it is not even a word (and therefore evokes no humorous image) and it’s not even a typo because the letter a is no where near the intended letter i on the keyboard. It is not adjacent. It is simply a mistake by someone who doesn’t know automatically how to spell either.
@q
Actually it was a typo it does not have to be a letter on or near the correct letter in this case “i” to still be a typo.
Incorrect spellings often get a red underline to show you but sometimes it takes my ancient laptop time to catch up.
In fact the keyboard is tiny compared to my huge hands and fingers.
So cool your carburetors!

It’s the wild west out there. We should all take a page out of the Wild Bill Hickock book and never have our back facing to the door, or strange persons for that matter.
I watched the video and it was hard to tell the race or sex of the victim. Looks like he/she was pushed into the train as it was passing by, so likely the victim just got abraded and hurt from the passing vehicle and did not actually fall upon the tracks. It could have been worse, but this stuff happens every day in the ghetto that is now NYC.

Ryan Grim on The Red COVID Reality…
https://youtu.be/uHXP_ylvzPM
You anti-vaccine people are NOT some kind of new phenomenon, you know. Since the earliest days of inoculation, there have been fears, doubts and concerns. A century and a half ago, before germ theory & medical sanitation were recognized, many of those concerns were legitimate – adverse reactions were common due to poor practices. That’s no longer an issue, though.
Check out this brief history f rom Victorian England and the Anti-Vaccination hysteria when small-pox was endemic and would occasionally flare up into nasty outbreaks with mortality rates of 30% (or more), yet the arguments against a vaccine were remarkably similar to the arguments of many here. Strangely weird, but reflective of human behavior, I guess.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leicestershire-50713991
I guess the Big difference was that the small-pox vax in Victorian England actually worked while this evil mRNA goop is being forced on everyone globally notwithstanding horrendous early results.
So there’s that.
I guess.
Fake Trae believes the MSM.
LMAO!
Yes, very funny. But did you actually read the article before you fell off your beanbag, MaryQuaint?
Nope.
Deeply intellectually curious, I see.
Nothing you post is the truth so why bother with your propaganda?
I don’t do mainstream media any more. They’ve proven to lie about 95% of the time.
Heh heh heh…
Two points:
1) The Covid vaccine is NOT being ‘forced on everyone globally’. You can go ahead and believe the likes of Narc Troll and his hysterical pronouncements and stay vulnerable. It’s your choice, but as with any choice, you will face consequences. Your call.
2) You seem to have full faith in 19th-century science, from before even basic hygiene practices were recognized, but you CHOOSE to ignore modern science because you’ve been convinced that “the PTB are out to get” you. You’re clearly suffering from the same delusions as the anti-vaccine folks from way back when. Sad.
You sound angry, Fake Trae. Take a chill pill!
Angry? Nah. You guys are just laughable.
What’s sad is that you still don’t realize that covid19 is not a pandemic, masks don’t do anything to halt a spread of a virus, Vaxx Passes ARE being introduced, and people are dying in the thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, from the vaccines.
We are correct, you and the MSM are wrong. Unlike you, perhaps, the MSM is wrong on purpose. After all, they dance to the tune of the people in charge, which we have already on this blog demonstrated endless times is big pharma/Davos/WEF/WHO/CDC/NIH, etc.
It’s astounding what you refuse to believe even when your lords & masters are telling you, right out in the open.
Angry? Nah. You guys are just laughable. What is sad is that you constantly burble on, repeating ad infinitum, the same discredited ‘fake news’ disinformation, and you can’t see it. Read that article linked to above and critique it (if you can).
You must be crazy to believe people who lie to you every single day. It’s not being open minded or intellectually curious to read deep state directed drivel whose only purposes is to manipulate small minds such as yours.
Why? You do….
@Redneck Liberal
I will cut people some slack on these issues if I feel that they are uninformed, misinformed, or a little slow, and thus unable to understand the relevant arguments.
What I find it difficult to forgive is their gleeful (and spiteful) embrace of egregious evil, of open tyranny, the destruction of lives and livelihoods, and of the physical injury and death that has been on imposed on the sick, the frail, and the elderly–and now upon children.
Such a choice IMHO is not possible for a person of character or conscience and in fact strongly suggests a near-absolute depravity.
Now, many or most people choose evil in some form or at some level during their lifetimes, realize their error, and reform.
In the case of covid, with those who make the choice in favor of evil, this choice is not made out of error or frailty, but out of conviction; i.e., it requires a conscious conviction in favor of a Satanic level of evil and malice. There are some exceptions, as with some frail elderly people I know who have chosen out of frailty.
Now, if you believe in God or at least have some sense of good versus evil, whatever it’s derivation, I would suggest that you think this matter over. The conscious and willful choice of evil over good is never a good idea, even temporally. It is an even worse choice eternally, assuming you go in for that kind of thing–that is, you believe in the soul’s survival after death, in which case your choices have far longer-term (eternal) consequences.
I am inclined to believe that the sheep are being separated from the goats. While I suppose the sheep are always being separated from the goats, one way or another, I have never in my lifetime seen anything so dramatic along those lines. Eschatology being above my pay grade, I will not venture an opinion along the lines of hellfire and brimstone.
But I would suggest that you give this matter some thought.
Anthea
Thank you. You have provided a reasoned argument, without the usual ad homs and casual drive-by smears that are the usual fodder round here of those whose views are questioned.
I respect that you have your faith and that you are wise from a lifetime’s experience, from which you draw your perspective and the comments you have made above.
However, I don’t share your spiritual views nor your fear & anxiety about how things are changing.
Things have always changed and that’ll never cease. We’re probably, as a species, in our 34,789th “New Normal”. What’s to fear?
We each, individually, exist in a mere blink of time. While we’re here, we strive to learn and understand what’s “right” and “true”. I simply don’t agree with your view of what’s happening or what you foresee.
I’m not that very much younger than you, but in the end, ten years-plus makes us from different generations. The argument between generations has always been the coalface of human change, adaptation & development. So it will continue.
My mother is 86, a Trump supporter, an “anti-vaxxer” and a generalist in conspiracy theories, and has a spiritual thread running through it all. She holds a serious stash of silver dollars (which she adds to regularly in preparation for the looming apocalypse. I just leave her to it…she won’t be convinced otherwise, but she’s at least – like you- polite about it.
You come across to me as being cut from the same cloth as Green Alba – a venerable intellect and formidable debater. And now you’re reading from the same hymn sheet. Oh, well…
explain to us why illegals are exempt, as is congress and pfizer employees?
why don~t they “lose their jobs” if they don~t take the vax?
Good questions – we are all waiting for an answer! Mx. Jen Psaki, would you care to explain?
Provide proof that “Illegals are exempt”, please.
How about you prove they are being jabbed?
Can it be proved one way or the other?
How do you prove someone entering MY country illegally has been vaccinated FOR ANYTHING?
Can you prove they are not bringing in and transmitting actual disease people need to worry about?
Covid in spite of it looking to be an actual bioweapon is just not that deadly compared to some of the others and has been the excuse to cause mass hysteria.
I notice you failed to argue the other points…why?
Why are you so routinely and willfully obtuse?
Notice he doesn’t care about the other ones – like Pfizer employees, etc.
Notice how I ignore what is provably incorrect…

What is ridiculous is the pathetic cover you give to this entire Covid vax scam.
What is equally ridiculous is you think you know whats going on while stuffing your head in a hole and ignoring reality while claiming the sound bites the media feed you are rational and real news.
You are ridiculous, most of your posts are ridiculous.
Always with the ad homs, eh, benr?
Your level of frustration is palpable now.
What’s REALLY amusing is that practically every criticism you throw at me applies just as equally to you. You can’t see that of course, being a one-eyed horse’s ass.
Just to school you a little, benr, let’s go back to the original post to which I responded (with a post you found so blatantly trollish & enraging that you just couldn’t go past it…!)
Rube-i-Conned said “explain to us why illegals are exempt[..]”
A passing knowledge of English would lead one to infer that the poster is saying that ‘illegals’ are somehow “exempt” which implies a right or privilege GRANTED to them, from some higher authority. You are clueless.
Just to school you exempt meaning not forced to take the vax.
Exempted because they HIDE from it there is no way TO FORCE THEM.
And the reality that you really are as obtuse as I point out.
https://nypost.com/2021/09/10/biden-wont-order-illegal-immigrants-to-get-covid-vaccine/
no one would argue against vaxxes for 30% mortality rate
also, undercover videos of pfizer employees admitting natural antibodies are better than their own vax
Wow you still believe the PTB are really working to keep you safe.
Hilarious.
San Francisco even mandated masks. And then people saw that the City Fathers weren’t wearing them…..
Some things never change.
There aren’t too many city fathers in SF, unless they’re of the Harvey Milk, Pete Buttplug variety.
LOL, good one.
Back in the early 20th century. Spanish flu perhaps.
Yeah, back then they did not have global hegemons running multi billion dollar chem labs pumping these vaccines full of gene altering mumbo jumbo. You could actually have some basis of trust back in Victorian times. Now, not so much!
If the vaccines are so wonderfully safe and effective, why not just leave us to our own devices? Be smug, be ‘protected’, be superior. Why does it bother you so much?
Good point. However, as a general consideration, stupidity is offensive.
That works both ways, too.
It sure is and the progressive democrats have literally rolled in the stupidity ocean and ooze it from every authoritarian pore.
Insanity is also offensive which is why the entire Democrat party is offensive from top to bottom.

Okay. Let’s see a cloud copy of your Summa Cum Laude. Got mine, and I’m peering down right now.
~toktomi~
I actually am, philosophically, a true anti-vax person. I’d prefer ditching even polio and mmr, on the principle that it artificially sustains populations that are not sustainable in the long term.
However. This vax is something different. This is a vax i dont even want to risk my personal health on. And this vax doesnt even work as a vax…which is separate from the issue of the desireability of vaccines which do actually function as a vaccine should.
“I actually am, philosophically, a true anti-vax person.”
Pretty strong words for this blog, pal.
You better explain yourself before a torrent of shit comes down on your head.
bring it on
“explain yourself”
i did
Some further explanation:
The idea is that vaccines are a temporary fix to diseases that are actually symptoms of much deeper social/structural “diseases”. Many of these diseases were born in the unsanitary conditions of intensive animal-husbandry practices. The rise of other diseases were made possible by the kind of (unsanitary) urban-crowding only made possible by intensive-agricultural food production systems.
In any case, modern vaccines require the apparatus of petroleum-economy science to originate, so their required infrastructure necessitates what are ultimately unhealthy living arrangements. Over and over, the problem of disease is more about unhealthy living arrangements and social setups than about the diseases themselves. The real, permanent cure for these diseases is a reorganization of society economically and environmentally.
The only kind of “vaccination” i would support are the kind that do not require complex scientific apparatus… the “tribal medicine” variety…things like eating poison ivy leaves to innoculate against the skin-rash reaction, or building up resistence to some venom, things like this.
Most of the major disease problems are solved by less agricultarally-dependent lifestyles and slower processes of cultural change (natural restrictions on travel, slow introductions of new relationships with animals or new environments).
Gusbob, you eat poison ivy (Toxicodendron sp.) leaves? Damn, that’s walkin’ the hunter-gatherer talk. When I find myself standing in poison ivy, I look around to find the milkweed (Asclepias sp.) that is almost certain to be growing nearby. Bust off a leaf – after first ascertaining that it is not in use by a monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) – and apply the sap to the site of inflammation. The snake venom thing – I might take that up if I find the right church…
A neighbor of mine in Maine told me that about eating young spring p ivy leaves to not react all year. Completely unverified because i dont react strongly to ivy anymore anyway, though i did as a kid. i know most young spring leaves of woody plants are edible. wouldnt surprise me if true, an innoculating effect, but never tried it
I mostly agree with you that most diseases should not be addressed with vaccines, but rather with healthy lifestyles: good hygiene, healthy food, clean water,etc.
Your premise (and mine) is best illustrated by CAFOs, where lifestock are raised for slaughter in filthy and crowded conditions and often fed diets that are deleterious. Without vaccinations and the liberal use of antibiotics. animals could not survive in such conditions long enough to make it to slaughter. Most of these same animals would not require these measures if raised in healthful conditions.
It’s the same with humans.
There a probably some exceptions, that is, some serious contagious diseases that could not be prevented by healtlhful conditions. Maybe smallpox and bubonic plague? Maybe. But even if this were true, vaccination is probably a poor choice for their prevention. I think honest investigation would reveal that these diseases are both preventable and treatable with dietary supplements and benign medications–as we have found with covid. There are quite a few very effective natural treatments for many illnesses that are simply scorned and hidden.
One example is the use of Ivermectin for cancer. I treated my kids’ chickenpox with the humble echinacea, and they were well in 12-24 hours.
Plenty of us are anti-vaxx.
I certainly am.
I wasn’t, 2 years ago, but I’ve done 1000s of hours of homework since then.
Have you even bothered?
You seem to have contracted that other rampant virus. You catch it here, if you’re not careful. Aside from JHK,at least one other notable contributor did.
Nope. My mind is free and uncluttered by the intelligence agency squawking heads and ‘influencers’. How embarrassing for you that you continue to not be able to think for yourself, but blindly follow (lying) authority.
MaryQuaint, YOU have your own set of ‘authorities’. Face it. However, yours have no credibility.

There was a great article I read way back about retired President Thomas Jefferson and how at an old age volunteered for the small pox virus, very cool account.
Anyway I just have questions when the doctors I work with, major teaching hospital, trauma center, respected virologists, in hospital attending doctors who treat covid like Dr. Kory and Dr. Dhand, and respected biologists like Heather & Brett from the Dark Horse( the ironic part that many anti covid folks quote Dark Horse, before the virus they were hated because they are big evolutionary biologists) have legitimate scientific questions about vaccines and are censored and shut down by social media, or the big corporate health systems. The hospital I work at is always full, the 2 other major hospital systems in my area, also always full, I work in the E.D. and always full, I have worked on the covid unit, but the majority of our illness, drugs, crime, mental health, but also poor dietary, environmental practices. OH well, I did not win that big Powerball. BUT, ask questions, the most feared and persecuted folks in the world are those that ask questions.
” Whereas Her Majesty Queen Victoria, by Commission under the Great Seal of England bearing date the twenty-first day of August, in the year of Our Lord one thousand and eight hundred and fifty four, has graciously decreed that all loving Subjects whom partake in the ongoing efforts to “Stop the Spread” shall upon presentation of proof of Injection an contingent upon adherence to coffee-filter mask and temperature check regulations as required, receive one Krispy Kreme donut or Burger King Sovereign Menu item of their choice. Eligibile are citizens whom hast received an Injection on the carriage grounds or stable of a participating Krispy Kreme or Burger King franchise.”
Hahahahahaha!
From what I’ve read, the earliest smallpox vaccines were far from safe and were thus widely opposed in the Amerian colonies: “Inoculation, however, was not without risks. There were deaths associated with the inoculation process, as it initiated the disease, though in a milder form. There was also the not-unfounded concern that smallpox could be spread through an inoculated person not properly quarantined. Consequently, inoculation often encountered fear and opposition.”
It seems to have been a given that those who received the vaccine would require been nursed through a milder case of smallpox. When Thomas Jefferson planned to travel to Philadelphia to be vaccinated, his friend Thomas Nelson encouraged him, “You must certainly bring Mrs. Jefferson with you. Mrs. Nelson shall nurse her in the small pox and take all possible care of her.”
Concerns were far from unfounded.

Its good to see at least some token dissent on this blogroll.
Lately, it resembles a mutual admiration society, the dynamics of which any clique of middle-school girls would recognize.
Or are people just disagreeing in order to play devil’s advocate?
Yes, doesn’t dissent imply genuinely motivated disagreement based on some rationally defensible counter-argument?
even polio and mmr, on the principle that it artificially sustains populations that are not sustainable in the long term.
My mother bore 4 children, years after a year in hospital with Polio.
Her sister had 3 children, post polio.
get yr science straight, nimrod.
This is why our society is so utterly paralyzed, the true solutions to the issues are extremely difficult to the point of appearing nearly if not truly morally distasteful to many of the best of us.
But I maintain that the polio “epidemic” resulted from intensive-agriculture-enabled overcrowding and petroleum-enabled mobility, and that lives saved by the polio vaccine only actually pushed structural/societal problems (which tangentially enabled spread of polio) down the road…for who to deal with later? For those very children whose lives were saved …now the same structural problems come roaring back to “cripple” them in other ways, perhaps existentially worse ways, and their children and grandchildren also. The true disease, not truly cured. Just one whack-a-mole down, three more up.

At some point with so much at stake one must simply take a stand one way or another and pursue an objective that might make a personal difference. That is, the whole covy thing in all its machinations is simply a means to an unspeakable end, and so, now how might I dodge that bullet at least initially?

What did they do with the real Sister Lucia?
I looked at your idea around that and decided that age and false teeth, in or out could do it.

Who were you here?
In Zelazny’s novel “Lord of Light”, a small group of colonists seize control of the new planet and future generations by posing as the Hindu pantheon. Reincarnation is a scientific process. Old in body is very different from old in years. One god asks is there anyone old here. An old man approaches and is dismissed. The young stable boy is brought forward – one of the originals paying off a karmic debt by a humble birth – and the god asks him to play the Blue Danube.
Sam wants to overthrow these high tech tyrants so he becomes the Buddha.
This is my only incarnation in the Clusterfuck Nation. Long time voyeur, short time participant. I don’t get banned. I have had comments pruned from the tree of dialogue however – generally when grafted onto comments by scofflaws such as you or the long lost Poo.
I think some of us mistake the many and constant incarnations – remembered to us by the collective consciousness – of the Brahma to be our individual re-incarnations… But hey, Peace of Westphalia and all that.
I’m assuming the stable boy is Sam? Did he grow up to be Sam Walton?

That was many ages ago. You were you then?
We get to live many lives in here. Soon there will be no outside at all if they catch you. I like the outside too so I will flee to the wilderness.
duh
Malthus, what is your problem? She’s not a regular, so she might not know.
@Jarek
If the wilderness was survivable then it would already be covered with human life.
But somewhere between there and here exist small niches, mostly uninhabited but with gravity feed irrigated garden spots, potable water, some wildlife or fish, and tolerable climate. Don’t forget insect larvae and tree cambium; yul git hungry.
And remember, people die in firefights; so pick your battles wisely [read your Sun Tzu].

This is a good summary, by Diane Johnstone:
https://consortiumnews.com/2021/10/05/german-politics-confused-but-self-righteous/
“. . . After over 75 years of military and political occupation by the United States, Germany and Japan are obvious candidates for a Washington-led reconstitution of the Axis Powers, opposing Russia and China as in the past, but proclaiming an ideology of anti-fascism, anti-authoritarianism, human rights, not to mention gender variety and equality.
The fascists felt good about themselves in their day, and the anti-authoritarians can feel good about themselves in theirs. They are helped along by the storytellers not only in the mainstream media but also, for policy-makers in Western governments, by the foundations, the think tanks, financed by a “civil society” that includes big investors in the weapons industry.
A recent strategy paper published by the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) outlines a more aggressive German foreign policy. Faced with alleged Russian propaganda and “targeted disinformation” by Russia intended to “damage NATO’s reputation,” the paper calls for creation of a “non-governmental rating agency” to evaluate media. By a funny coincidence, YouTube just expelled the Russian German-language news channel RT-de (which can still be viewed on Internet). ”
Islander:”anti-authoritarianism “—that’s rich in light of the corona crackdown.
Zero Hedge.
RT.
Hey brah, we all watch the same news sources, wtf…
C’mon man.
Will never happen. Most Germans understand that good relations with Russia are important, and there are actually quite a few Russian immigrants in Germany that are quite well integrated into society. We have Russian neighbors and they are a picturebook family — their kids are some of the most polite, intelligent, and well-rounded individuals I have ever met (for their ages).
And, lastly, Germany needs Russian gas. Russia is pretty much a model state in terms of independence from the WEF/Rockefeller bankster combine.
N.O.
What are you saying will never happen?
I know one Russian family.
Dad was a colleague on an editing project, and we have stayed in touch. I send articles of interest. I appreciate his takes on the Russian scene.
They look to me like a model family! They have been very sweet to me personally. Sending presents, etc., pix of vacations in the far reaches of Russia.
That some Soros-style NGO is going to be created.
Might happen at some point, but the Russians are, for the most part, not really the centerpiece of wild conspiracies here the way they are in the US.
No. Plutocracy isn’t Fascism.
If an Italian restaurant goes out of business, it’s spot taken by a Thai restaurant, is it really, secretly still an Italian restaurant? It’s in the same spot, right? Some of the wait staff and dishwashers stayed on too. So there! And it’s still a restaurant…..
Surely it must be the same Italian restaurant, secretly, even though it serves Thai food.

Melania Trump says,

Recently, Bob Gustafson intimated,
“Most of the major disease problems are solved by less agricultarally-dependent lifestyles and slower processes of cultural change (natural restrictions on travel, slow introductions of new relationships with animals or new environments).”
I bet more people on this blogroll live indoors with animals versus those that don’t.
Easy.
Brilliant (but will have few fans, I’m guessing).
“New relationships with animals?”
Are we seriously going there now already?
Before I nominate Bob Gustafson to run the CDC after Francis Collins steps down, I’d just like to point out that Bob does not believe in Epidemiology.
Or rather, he proposes a new civilization, one under the combined aegis of the CDC and USDA/HUD where internment of citizens and the farm animals they depend upon are co-housed.
I for one think it is a great idea. Plenty of people would love to wake up as the dawn’s light pierces the room, and look lovingly on their sheep. Who wouldn’t spring from their bedchamber with ardor to collect a basket of eggs. But I digress.
My contention is that, whoever the genesis of historical disease, the current environment is different, and so none of your observations are useful, as a practical matter.
The environment we are in resembles the trenches of world war I, western front. While you may think that your Iron suits can repel bullets (and they do a satisfactory job) you are going to be hit with a different type of weapon: then, it was Mustard Gas today it is an engineered virus.
Since you’re already on a battlefield with cross-hairs on you, care to reconsider your frame of mind toward the only- and I mean literally the only- alternative, which is a vaccine- so that you will survive?
Because if not, Bob, you’re a dead man. I’d think about an epitaph, if I were you.
The rest of us are going to be taking mRNA vaccines for everything that is coming. There is no alternative.
Yes, the same people making the viruses are making the vaccines for them. It’s a perfect business model. Humanity is the raw material, the consumer, and the finished product or infrastructure.

The overwhelmed hospitals, the man-on-the-street cautionary tales of two distinct types:
-the rube who eschewed the vaccine and recovered and who earnestly encourages others to avoid the error of his ways
-the rube who eschewed the vaccine and died and whose family earnestly documents how the deceased was perfectly healthy and vibrant even though he weighed north of 300 lbs.
Meanwhile in reality land, Johns Hopkins says 838 people in Idaho have died of Covid™ since July 1st out of a population of 1,787,065. A whopping four hundredths of 1%. The other 99.9996% of the population no doubt await the implacable mechanisms of fate curled in the fetal position.

Glenn Greenwald came to the same conclusion some of us up here did:
Democrats and Media Do Not Want to Weaken Facebook, Just Commandeer its Power to Censor
“Whistleblower” Frances Haugen is a vital media and political asset because she advances their quest for greater control over online political discourse.
https://greenwald.substack.com/p/democrats-and-media-do-not-want-to
Martin Armstrong has a trenchant comment today on FB.
PS. Yeah, whistleblower’s comments were music to the ears of TPTB.
Armstrong:
“Here is a video of Senator Ed Markley calling out Mark Zuckerberg after the damning whistleblower testimony. Perhaps at last we may begin to see some action of breaking up Zuckerberg’s toy. The seven-hour blackout of Facebook raises another problem entirely. Zuckerberg claimed that the issue was an internal technical problem rather than a hack. “Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger are coming back online now,” Zuckerberg said, adding it was an “error of our own making.” But this illustrates that Facebook is too big and should be broken up. One company should not dominate the web.
Many people were calling their internet companies complaining that the internet was down because they are so concentrated on Facebook that they assumed Facebook is the internet. We have a serious problem because the model of gathering your clicks and searches to sell to others has destroyed our privacy all for an economic model created by Zuckerberg et. al to make money from advertising. Zuckerberg really did not care about fake news, as long as it produced more clicks. Zuckerberg was simply harvesting our information using Facebook and selling the data. Groups like Cambridge Analytica began to analyze how to profile people politically. What was once a major advancement of human connection that is the very cornerstone of civilization, has resulted in a frenzy to get your clicks, and companies then went to great lengths to keep your eyes to your screens.
Zuckerberg has taken the greatest advancement in history that expanded the marketplace to a much more global community and turned it upside down to produce clicks for profits. Even Klaus Schwab, who calls this the Fourth Industrial Revolution and touts Artificial Intelligence, does his best to ignore our only truly functioning AI system monitoring the world economy because it warns he is wrong. But what Schwab does not get is the fact that AI will not produce body parts so he can live indefinitely, like replacing the tires on a car.
What Schwab has missed is that the internet has connected the world and that allows sharing ideas — the real foundation of civilization. AI is only one phase of this new age that can solve problems we cannot do individually. However, the real foundation is the interconnection of everyone on the planet.
Facebook poses a serious threat to the advancement of society. Censoring in a way they fail to understand the implications only presents distrust of government and Big Tech. This is contributing to the undermining of the confidence of the entire system and that is what 2032 is all about.”
Me: Not sure what 2032 refers to.

Nobody trusts nobody anymore…it’s sad, but all to familiar in a world that’s falling apart.
Nobody trusts nobody anymore – tom c
===========
Or, another type of double negative might be:
Nobody trusts anybody no more
Negative times negative equals a positive. But if you want to keep it negative, use three negatives as a negative times a negative times a negative equals a negative again since a negative times a positive equals a negative.
Nobody trusts nobody no more.
I hadn’t realized you are also a Logician. Very impressive! The final formula would be a return to Reason? Clearly the higher ups know their hostile, heavy handed ways do nothing to foster public trust and in fact dissolve it.
LOL! YoVladNosEk is a man of many talents!
Well the third negative would return the statement to a positive. In this case, that people don’t trust other people any more. Whether that’s true or not, is another question. Of course I think it has much truth.
A clearer example:
All dogs are reptiles.
Rover is a dog,
Therefore Rover is a reptile.
This is a perfectly good logical form – a syllogism. But the first statement is untrue therefore the syllogism comes to the wrong conclusion. Garbage in, garbage out.
Who were you, Dis – in the before time?
Ah ok, yeah that makes sense. I mean when I have heard people say garbage in garbage out talking about how good data can be for instance is simply based on the input and if the input is junk then it is all junk.

Ordinary person becomes extraordinary. One of her colleagues at the hospital didn’t want to take the vax for religious reasons, but finally gave in. She died from it. That seems to have been the last straw for her.
Nothing extraordinary. This kind of crap is happening all hospitals all over America and no doubt the doctors and nurses are talking the same way about it. What’s extraordinary is someone coming forward.
Yes. Look at this – they are killing people by refusing treatment. Esp. people on transplant lists.

On an entirely different topic, apropos of nothing… I have CNBC on all day kind of in the background and muted. I periodically look up over the top of my computer monitor to see the TV and there, reporting, is one of the bevy of good looking, and smart young women who work for this business show. WHERE do they find them? I muse to myself.
So, it was maybe 4 years ago the new girl to appear in a couple of the most watched program segments was this Kelly Evans. She’s 36 y/o now so maybe 32 then. Until maybe a year ago you only saw Kelly in a seated position. Then they began to have her standing next to, and commenting on, a large graphical display. So now you can see her whole body. It is slender, pleasing, but nothing spectacular.
But, whoa! What’s this!? I spot a fatal flaw. She is slightly bow-legged and stands slightly pigeon toed. So much for Kelly Evans.
I think I may have spotted a fatal flaw as well and am reaching out in deep concern. Are you periodically standing up, stretching, exercising your eyes, walking, and breathing in deep breaths of fresh air outside while allowing your mind to declutter and defrag? Are you spending too much time sitting at the computer? Such reckless behavior can have devastating health consequences. IOW prohibitions may be necessary for you Q. For your own health and well-being and love of community.
I too can learn from your words, SSL. Thank you.
That is so thoughtful of you Og. You know I just wanted to let you know that I didn’t mean to sound snippy with you last week. You can always springboard off of any of my comments with your thoughts whether related or unrelated to my comments. I always appreciate your perspective on things as well.
She’s 36 y/o now so maybe 32 then. – Q.

With the aid of Google I discovered that Kelly Evans has been with CNBC for 9 years. She joined them in Feb 2012.
Time flies.

Hey Redneck Dumbass and others.
CDC website link: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm
Says this:
Comorbidities and other conditions
Table 3 shows the types of health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in conjunction with deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The number of deaths that mention one or more of the conditions indicated is shown for all deaths involving COVID-19 and by age groups. For over 5% of these deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned on the death certificate. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 4.0 additional conditions or causes per death.
Not sure if you can do the math, but that means that 95% of “COVID” deaths were actually people with on average 4 comorbidities. To date, CDC says 687,000 American deaths “involve” Covid. 5% of that is 34,350 deaths from Covid only.
Median age for those who died with COVID = 78.
So after putting that in perspective, and adding the fact that the PCR test can’t accurately diagnose Covid infection, the survival rate for those infected with Covid is somewhere around 99.7% (based on the assumption that all 100% died from Covid)
This is the question. How effective (and safe) would a vaccine need to be to convince a reasonable person that they should take the vaccine? If a vaccine isn’t 100% effective and 100% safe, what argument could ever be made that taking the vaccine is even remotely a rational choice?
Harry, they don’t care. The vax is not about covid, it’s about control.
In other news, recent messages from the BVM state that first the church falls, gets destroyed, then the world.
But that this is good, because at it’s apex the evil will consume itself.
We’ve got 3 years in the foxhole, no atheists alllowed.
The sooner you ask Thy Kingdom come, the sooner this will be done.
The dumbasses don’t listen to stats, they’re mired in ‘scientism’ as part of the covid death cult.
They actually get off on doctors killing people.
They are ghouls.
You’re unhinged.
You didn’t answer the question. Being so much smarter than the rest of us, can you please educate me. Dick.
That fool won’t it spews garbage and runs like a coward.
Agreed. Just wanted to show that dumbass has no way of actually presenting a rational argument for the jab. I’d love to meet him IRL.
I doubt it liver spotted effeminate with a bad lisp and pasty white and either skinny as a rail or fat and shaped like an apple.
You sometimes see this imperviousness to facts and reason in other areas of life. I’ve seen it a couple of times in the last few years.
This seems to happen in cases where “word has come down from on high,” and the brain shuts off. They go into kind of a hypnotic trance–like a sheep confronted with a wolf.
One case was a charitable organization that was slowly going bankrupt, and the board refused to confront this–despite the bookkeeper telling them so at every monthly meeting, and showing them the figures to prove it. I think the main reason was that the director (whose salary was the main reason they were going bankrupt) kept assuring them that all was well, and he was going to land some more donors, and so forth. This was a charity in which the board members were representatives of the donors, and hence had a fiduciary responsibility.
The other case was our local city government. The mayor, a very handsome and personable retarded guy, decided the city needed to increase the minimum square footage requirement of land area to build a new house. The reason he thought this was because his neighbor’s septic system was not working well and was giving him some grief.
And so, “word from on high” came down to the Plans & Zoning Committee, which was charged with recommending what the mayor wanted. We were pretty obviously expected to robotically rubber-stamp the mayor’s request.
This change in the building code was suicidal for the city–and glaringly, OBVIOUSLY so. No potential resident would be able to purchase a sufficiently large piece of land, as the town is a patchwork of lots, with each lot owned by a different person, and each lot only about one-third of what the change in the building code would require.
At one point I told the committee, “If you pass this, no one will ever build here again. But hey, I don’t have a dog in this fight. I like the place the way it is: a little backwater with only about one-tenth of the land area occupied and the other nine-tenths made up of untamed wildernesss that provides a home for squirrels, rabbits, foxes, raccoons, deer, bobcats, owls, blue herons, hawks, songbirds, and some old tires. Zero growth suits me.”
The committee and the city council passed it anyway. A couple of months later they changed it back, as they were almost immediately forced to turn away at least two new residents who could not obtain a sufficient land area to meet the building code’s requirements.
I think it’s a “word from on high” thing. This seems to induce some form remote-control zombification in many people.
Harry, please go to MEWE and look at the vax injury feed. Lots there for you. Also know we’re prayin for your injured teens.
Thank you for the MEWE recommendation. I’ll take a look. This has been a rough week. My employer notified me that they will terminate me if I don’t get on the vax track. A friend of my daughter was over tonight. She is barely functioning. I cannot believe that people are delightedly forcing their children to take this vax. This shit is really getting sad. Looking forward to meeting some new folks at the next board of education meeting.
She comes as awful as an army in battle array.
A relative of mine was in the trenches of WWI. You probly know this story. During breaks in the battle they’d hustle the wounded over to field hospital a bit back from the front.
The guys kept telling the nurses there were giants on the battlefield in Roman armour. The nurses just thought they were all having pyschotic breaks.
Turns out the Germans were seeing them too.
A line of angels in full Roman battle kit as far as the eye could see, their heads touching the clouds.
Fighting stopped. They could get the wounded out.
As for my relative, the shrapnel finally made it’s way to his heart, but he got to see his newborn first.

Absolutely, I really can’t see a way around it. Clearly there is a desire to close down commerce in a significant way. All of it, from shutting down small businesses knowing they would go under, to intentionally destroying crops, to forcing cargo ships to idle offshore for weeks/months. And recall that certain firms like BlackRock have been purchasing up vacant residential and commercial properties.
Blackrock and the Schwabster just want you to be healthy.

Take for example his attempt to pretend illegal aliens are not exempt from Bidens executive tyranny order to impose an almost untested new form of vaccine upon everyone but Illegals.

FYI and flashback – It just really appears that Al Gore won in 2000 but with the machine fraud Bush was installed. Gore was paid off to become a prominent, very well paid global warming evangelist for his troubles. Bush was installed by them to get the Patriot Act and “war on terror” infrastructure in place. IOW the electoral fraud has been going on for a long time and people from both parties serve the puppetmasters. DOD holds a patent on software that can manipulate vote tallies in real time. Oh sorry. You believe there is zero fraud basically in the electoral system. Time to think outside the box.
Absolutely. Always thought it was fishy that Gore threw in the towel so easily. But he would have been a lousy prez anyway, as if there’s any other kind. Dick Cheney was pulling all the strings back then, and no doubt both imbecile candidates – not to mention BillyJeff and his hag – knew that. Anyone who still believes in the electoral system has their head buried in their colon.

LOL yes that is a great observation! Thus I guess why our betters act so childish most of the time and shirk accountability and responsibility. If not acting outright wickedly altogether.
Well said, good overview.
Thank you! I am also waiting to hear if Redneck Lib got both jabs and is in line for the booster. Do you recall if he ever mentioned getting vaxed? I know Tekapo never did from what I remember. But! They love the vax?
I’m guessing Fake Trae is all over that vaxx and boosters. He’s part of the Covid Death Cult after all, and that’s a requirement. I’m guessing he also masks up for his masters wherever he goes.
LOL, if only we knew what they were really up to these days.
The official title of the USA PATRIOT Act is “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001.”
Clever, eh?
The massive law, 342 pages long, amends at least 15 separate federal laws, including the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, the Electronic Communication Privacy Act of 1986, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act.
The law permits roving wiretaps and so-called “sneak and peek” warrants, adds new terrorist crimes, knocks down the wall between foreign and domestic intelligence, amends the definition of domestic terrorism and makes many other changes too numerous to catalog.
Just incredible that lib types are clamoring for this utter totalitarian intrusion on our lives.
Wow that is clever on their part! I never knew that the Patriot in the Act was an actual acronym. I just thought they wanted us to believe it was Patriotic to go along with everything they said about terrorism.
Fiendishly clever. I mean, 911 happened on 911, ya know?
From Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg — the guy who single-handedly ended the phony Swine Flu “pandemic.”:
“FDA document admits ‘covid’ PCR test was developed without isolated covid samples for test calibration, effectively admitting it’s testing something else https://fos-sa.org/2021/08/02/fda-document-admits-covid-pcr-test-was-developed-without-isolated-covid-samples-for-test-calibration-effectively-admitting-its-testing-something-else/ via

More “conspiracy” come to life.
And this one is for JohnAZ:
“Brisante Recherche von Wolfgang Wodarg: Das Paul-Ehrlich-Institut warnt in einer neuen Studie vor Gefahren durch das Corona-Spike-Protein, OHNE zu erwähnen, dass genau diese Spikes durch die Impfung im Körper erzeugt werden:”
Roughly translated, it says that explosive research from Wolfgang Wodarg highlights that the German PEI (a captured WEF organization) is warning in a new study that the Corona spike protein is dangerous, without mentioning that these spikes are produced by the body as a result of the clot shot (MRNA programming, ofc).
https://twitter.com/paul_schreyer/status/1363476714337280004
The ‘infections’ went up when the jabs started, but it’s not the vaccine… lol
Okay, here’s the deal.
The Corona spike protein is dangerous?
How? What mechanism? Where are the autopsy or biopsy reports that declare what is dangerous about it?
IMHO, escaped spikes could attach to ACE2 sites around the body, blood vessels, heart, kidneys, brain, etc. if the immune system inflames that area, damage can be done, how limited, again who knows.
Spikes do not invade cells, they do not generate new viruses, they hang on to the receptors until the immune system destroys them.
The vaxx was modeled on isolation in muscle tissue. We do not even know if this model is legitimate or how much mRNA and spikes escape to invade other organs.
Spikes are antigens and thus will be attacked by the immune system until they are gone. How long? Anybody’s guess. mRNA too.
The current delta surges are after everyone, vaxxed and unvaxxed. The virus is faster than the immune system in startup. IMO, vaxxes, prior infection make no difference when the virus establishes itself before the immune system can attack it. Eventually the immune system catches up, which is why vaxxed or prior infection people do not get the serious forms of Covid.
We are talking about plus or minus two or three days here to determine what the outcome is.
In the words of Sgt. Schulz
We know nothing, nothing.

In Canada, it just came out last week that the government has been using military propaganda techniques from theaters of war on the Canadian population.
Yes, from the forced quarantining that people have to pay for, to that wolf scare – all tactics to keep the populace afraid and pliant.
Wow! Unbelievable. So basically we are back to square one not even knowing if covid 19 is an actual thing or not. Looks like the balance of the evidence is leaning toward its made the f*ck up
This has been the case the entire time. The problem is, most people listen to liars.

Largest increase in homicides ever in U.S. history between 2019 to 2020, all due to Covid, according to CNN. “Nothing else to see here, folks, move along!”
All because of Covid, huh? LOL, they haven’t seen nothin’ yet!
We all have the martyrdom of one Georgie “Boy” Floyd to thank for all of the gratuitous deaths that has since occurred through this nation’s inner cities and near suburbs. Without him we would have nothing.
Covid only exists because racism. Getting vaccinated is striking a blow against “the Man.”
Nuge’s message to the vaxed:

LOL I love this! The juxtaposition of Ted with the interview guy is amazing and is a perfect description of the cultural divide.
He had a program where people in wheelchairs got to hunt. Even parapalegics somehow, using chairs and guns operated with the breath. That’s love!
“Covid is a wildfire pandemic!” and “Kill the unvaccinated!” memes and pile-ons are so prevalent and boring now that I’ve become more and more curious about the more “sober” pro-vaxxers, with appropriate bona fides, and their “arguments” for it. So I’ve lately followed a few twitter accounts to get their analysis and links.
One virologist’s stream was infected by a recurring story about some media personality who continuously called out pro-vaxx B.S. who then came down with “Covid” and died. Wow! An N of 1 How statistically significant! Of course, even this is questionable. What did they do for him in the hospital, e.g., aside from Remdesivir and ventilation, especially in light of the news from some hospital workers of their hatred for treating the unvaxxed in their wards.
Another “expert” spent an inordinate amount of posts repeating a study which separated rate of death with Covid from one grouping to the aggregate. Leaving aside the two major groups — vaxxed, unvaxxed — the largest single grouping who died were the obese at 2X the aggregate population. The “expert” then cited the actual largest group — the unvaxxed over 65 year-olds at 18X the aggregate. Here’s the kicker: the study was from the CDC (LOL!), and there was no mention (of course) on how the study was conducted, with all the many variables and definitions that would have to be fleshed out.
Science!
We’re at the “burn the witches!” stage. Humans, for all their vaunted “progression” to the information age, are still at base a reptilian race, ruled by instincts wired from 300 million years ago.
almost seems maybe… perhaps.. doubting many, most or all central threads of the entire contemporary “human progress” narrative should be on the table…
The City of Angels has finally taken wings and decided to fly off to the big circus in the sky. Quoted from the article:
“Covid-19 could be eradicated if we had mass vaccinations across the country and across the world,” O’Farrell said before noting the United States’ history eradicating smallpox and mostly eradicating polio through vaccinations.”
No, this is not possible with Covid! What don’t these people understand? This is a flu, and there is no eradicating such a common virus. Not only that, but the original strain of the Covid has mutated so over the past two years that this alleged “vaccine” isn’t even doing what a vaccine is designed to protect against.
I am fully expecting Chicago to be the next major city to announce such draconian regulations.

From ZeroHedge:
A report from 9 News in Australia details how people in Victoria are now required to respond to the authorities within 5 minutes of them randomly calling by sending a selfie of themselves at home. If they fail to respond, health goons are sent to their address to dish out punishments.
The reporter notes “Today the call has gone out to everyone in home quarantine in Victoria to take part in a pilot program. And what that means is they will receive random phone calls and they will have to answer within five minutes with a selfie sent to an app which will then geo-track where that person is and to make sure they are who they say they are as well.”
“If they don’t answer within the five minutes that’s when health ministers come knocking,” the reporter creepily adds.
Tate: Bet Ozzies wish now they hadn’t turned in their firearms.
Have your voicemail message relay something to the effect: “Sorry, all circuits are busy now. Please check the number and try again later. Message 483, **beep, beep, beep, beep, beep**”
It’s only a “pilot” program doncha know.
They were doing this in Korea too, when my coworker went home to visit her parents there last December.
I for one wouldn’t put up with it. If you’re going to treat me like a little baby then I’m going to cry and yell right in your face, just to make the lives of those authorities as miserable as possible.
She had to quarantine IN her parent’s house! The had a big plastic sheet separating them for 2 weeks. The state paid for her food.
Why? COVID-19 doesn’t even exist!
One of the few appropriate uses of a ‘dick pic’ would be the spamming of this system with ‘penis at home’ pics.

Wow. Not hiding a thing any more.
Most men are basically mooches. At the age of 73, my dating days are pretty much over, but I still am occasionally importuned by some guy who wants to be “friends.” With the most recent one, his objective was to move in with me so that he could sell his house in a neighborhood that was going downhill fast, and have a woman around to look after him–and doubtless pay the bills. Men often seek relationships with women with such a plan in mind; they are seeking a life-preserver in the form of both a personal servant and someone to support them. Normally, this is the ONLY male motivation for seeking a long-term relationship. They do so ONLY when they find that they cannot manage on their own and, after casting about for some solution, they decide that their best bet is to find a woman to mooch off of. – Anthea
==========
Anthea, this paragraph from your 2:00 PM comment today describes perfectly what my BIL Peter attempted with a woman down on the west coast of Florida.
Peter is like the character Pig Pen in the Charlie Brown cartoons. Everywhere he goes, everywhere he sits down, a small or large mess instantly appears. And Peter knows nothing about cleaning up after himself. Peter had a room in this woman’s house for less than 2 weeks and she wasn’t about to put up with the messes he created. Peter said to her “calm down, I’ll hire a fucking cleaning lady.” (Peter likes to come across as a person to whom cost is no issue when in fact money is a huge issue.*)
Long story short, she threw him out (God bless her) and Peter had to face the music and find an apartment. It was from that apartment that my wife and I rescued Peter and brought him back to NJ about Feb 1st this year. He’s on the 3rd floor above me as we speak and driving us crazy every friggin’ day.
* I’ll write when time permits about a blowout argument I had with Peter concerning his small remaining net worth kept in 3 accounts in 2 banks. Peter will turn 75 y/o in 2 days. You would think that in all those years he would have gained some understanding about how checking accounts, debit cards, on-line bill pay and such work. But you would be wrong. His lack of understanding is something to behold!
I’ll hire a fucking cleaning lady – Q.
============
Peter called my wife at the time and described this woman as an obsessive compulsive neat freak. No doubt she was a normal person who does not want to live in squalor nor pick up after a slob.
She thinks men get custody of kids from family court most of the time.
She obviously draws the worst kind of men to herself – and then thinks that’s what all men are.
How do you think your BIL Peter would hold up under the Chinese Social Credit system? You think he would be any worse off, or any better off, than he is now?

I have heard here that such a system exists but I know nothing about it so I can’t really comment.
I think a lot of these men are actually neurologically impaired in some way, but are high-functioning enough that they have never been diagnosed.
I sometimes wonder if a lot of the problems women encounter with men are because the percentage of men thus afflicted has become very high–as with autism.
Years ago, one of my neighbors was married to a guy who, while a pleasant sort of guy, just could not get his shit together in many ways, not the least of which was holding a job. When she finallly threw him out, another neighbor lady took him in as a kind of project, deduced that there was something wrong with him, and took him to a doctor. Turned out he had suffered from undiagnosed cerebral palsy all his life. She got him on disability, and he eventually got his own apartment. I think he anaged moderately well after that–for a guy who thought people were watching him through the holes in his bathroom ceiling
Many years after the divorce, I finally realized that my ex was a high-functioning autist. He had achieved a highly presentable facade through rote memorization and had almost everyone fooled–except for some of my relatives who were a little surprised, one Christmas, to find that he could not figure out how to put batteries in a child’s toy.
A couple of years ago I mentioned to my oldest daughter that I believed her dad to be a high-functioning autist. She replied, “I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that.”
But to cut to the chase here, I suspect that high-functioning autism may be epidemic among modern males. Maybe vaccine damage. Autism is statistically much less common in females. Hence, many normal women are more and more likely to find themselves struggling to cope with spouses or significant others who are borderline retarded or autistic–unable to connect with or relate to others, suffering from poor emotional control and frustration with life’s vicissitudes, and unable to meet the demands of everyday life.
I honestly believe that there is something neurologicallly wrong with a large percentage of modern males. My recollection was that my dad’s generation of men were not like this.
Interesting, indeed.
I think my brothers are slightly on the Asperger’s scale, and my nephew is high on the Asperger’s scale.
One male cousin who is older than me is VERY high on the Asperger’s scale.
You maybe onto something here. So that would mean the vaccines they started giving in the 50’s and 60’s even contributed to autism, not just the junk they added (after passing laws we couldn’t hold them accountable) in the late 1980s.
Then there are all the hormones in the water… ay yi yi.
Just saw a video of a guy talking about how he has over 100 employees and the fines for forcing them to be vaxxed would put him out of business, so he fired the 42 who were jabbed, and now he’s under 100 employees.
Haha, that is a great way to go about it! If enough employers went ahead and followed that tactic maybe Old Slow Joe would rescind his mandate.
Do you have a link to this video by chance? I was trying to find something along those lines online but came up empty. I would love to see this on.
Yes!

Very nice, thanks! There was a good comment raised on what happens when the gov’t decreases the employee minimum under the mandate to say mandatory vaxx for all companies with at least 50 employees, then 25 employees, then all companies with at least 5 employees?
Do you think they are going to stop at only 100 employees? I doubt it!!!
Oh no they won’t stop until people stand up en masse.

No I think childhood vaccination has allowed too many unfit people to live. It’s been shown that their genetic unfitness comes as part of a package deal, including stupid genes. Ironic because now the stupid people have invented a vaccine that will thin out their numbers considerably. Full circle, bitchez!

The System cannot be wrong. The vaccine can’t be killing people therefore it is NOT killing people. If I oppose the System, it will crush me, therefore it is not wrong. If I support the System, it will reward me therefore it is not wrong.

Close to home we’ve witnessed some brutal carjackings at gas stations and parking lots over the past few days, victims being women; a few of them had children in the car. Thru out the summer in our little towns auto thefts became endemic; we were told by our billionaire lefty governor that it was our own fault for not properly securing our vehicles or our homes, as youths would walk right into unlocked houses and grab keys, valuables etc. In the past there really was no reason to worry about security in these stable, 350 year old towns. Ok so people wised up, began locking their cars and houses, making themselves a harder target. This was about when the carjacking started. So far nobody has been killed, only severely injured. The media is reluctant to identify the assailants, not wanting to “perpetuate stereotypes” in their words. But in some cases we have seen the video, we know who is responsible.
All my Big Lib neighbors with BLM and Hate Has No Home Here signs posted on their front lawn are looking a little bit nervous, contemplating these talismans may not adequately protect them from the evil and violence that is creeping in all around them.

It would be hard to build a wall around a 4 or 5 acre lot. I did read, during King Phillips War 1675-1677, Colonists constructed a stockade around this village to keep Indians out. I know pretty much where it was but I could never finds any signs of it.

The signs could be construed as advertisement of a free crime zone.
It will be interesting if they begin to “disappear”.
What could be the deeper question is the depth of the ensuing befudlement by the owners of the signs.
“looking a little bit nervous, contemplating these talismans may not adequately protect them from the evil and violence that is creeping in all around them.” might be as far as the connection goes. The signs might come down, the confusion will likely persist.
You should read Barbara Hambly’s “Dead Water.” There is a GREAT duel in there.
Her best novel, IMHO, is “Wet Grave.” Sadly, there are no duels in that one. Plenty of everything else: murders, slave revolts, buried treasure, and a nice hurricane.

Prayer isn’t just askin’ for shit as Q implies. It is lifting the mind and heart to God. Defined so broadly and nobly, it then includes meditation and contemplation.
A good acronym for this is ACTS.
A: adoration
C: contrition
T: thanksgiving
S: supplication
Q only get the last part. Of course it is mysterious – not like putting your quarters in and getting a coke or something. You have to ask well. If you ask for something very specific, and someone else does too – well what can God do? If you ask for a specific girl and she doesn’t like you, then it just gets ridiculous. Or as Lin Yutan the Confucian said, people prayed for a sunny day during a drought and were very upset when it rained. Maybe the farmer’s need outweighed yours? Or you got out voted?
Many prayed that Hillary would not become President. A lot of people still haven’t recovered from that absurdity.
“Let me tell you a small story. It happened that Moses was passing and he came across a man who was praying. But he was doing such an absurd prayer (not only absurd, but insulting to God) that Moses stopped. It was absolutely unlawful. It is better not to pray than to pray in such a way, because the man was saying things which are impossible to believe.
The man was saying, “Let me come close to you my God. my Lord, and I promise that I will clean your body when it is dirty. Even if lice are there, I will take them away…. And I am a good shoe-maker, I will make you perfect shoes. You are moving in such ancient shoes — dirty, gone completely dirty…. And nobody looks after you, my Lord. I will look after you. When you are ill, I will serve and give you medicine. And I am a good cook also!”
This type of prayer he was doing! So Moses said, “Stop! Stop your nonsense! What are you saying? To whom are. you talking — to God? And He has lice on His body? And His clothes are dirty and you will clean them? And nobody is there to look after Him, and you will be His cook? From whom have you learned this prayer?”
The man said, “I have not learned it from anywhere. I am a very poor and uneducated man, and I don’t know how to pray. I have made it up myself and these are the things that I know. Lice trouble me very much, so He must be in trouble. And sometimes the food is not good — my wife is not a good cook — and my stomach aches. He must be also suffering. This is just my own experience that has become my prayer. But if you know the right prayer, you teach me.”
So Moses taught him the right prayer. The man bowed down to Moses, thanked him, tears of deep gratitude flowing, and he went away. Moses was very happy. He thought that he had done a good deed. He looked at the sky to see what God thought about it.
And God was very angry! He said, “I have sent you there to bring people closer to me, but you have thrown away one of my greatest lovers. Now he will be doing the right prayer, but it won’t be a prayer at all — because prayer has nothing to do with the law. It is LOVE. Love is a law unto itself; it needs no other law.”
Thank you.
Oh wow, that is so profound! 😉
Ha, nice. Very incarnational. Thus, very, very non Judaic or Islamic. And more gritty than typical Christianity. You’re approaching devotional Hinduism, Messi.

The German lawyer who practices in both Germany & California. What is his name, pls & thx?
I think that his initials are RF.
Reiner Fuellmich.
Thank you.
First time I’ve heard of him was an early January, nowhere else but via Serbian YT channel Podrum (Basement) where Dr Mila Aleckovic, part of the Serbian team in Reiner’s effort to bring up the global lawsuit, was fighting like lioness trying to spread the message of truth in the country where people were offered 25 euros, at the time, to submit to the jab. Now, YT routinely blocks that channel for “spreading misinformation”, I guess.
I had immediately posted the video, him speaking English with Serbian close captions, on Automatic Earth blog. I guess that captions were “too low” to bother for the uppity TAE noses and it was simply ignored, even by the few doctors commenting regularly.
Only months later Reiner became a household name on that site.
Thank you for your service Svrs.

“A lot of ordinary people have weighed the costs and benefits”
The costs of vaccination – it’s free, BTW. Yeah, I heard a 4th woman died from the J&J single prick vax, blood clotting (preconditions). Whoa, that’s *scary* (Sounds like avoid the J&J single-one).
Z,
You are obviously an imposter. The original Z wrote in barely decipherable gibberish…slang, and obscure references to millennial culture.
I hijacked this alias? Nope, it’s really me – the TISOTGH video card solution guy. Cryptic as always (?!?) … Don’t see much of Ozone around here (1.5 years?) or that beantown billy boy d00d.
And actually, the 4th female J&J victim was from right here in OryGone, and apparently fairly young w/ no preconditions (unlike the prior 3) – I @$$-U-me’d…
Or how about, OMFG, that Soker guy. He must have some alias in here, spewing his master-debating skillz…
King Leopold’s big dream was to depopulate the Belgian Congo of the native blacks and then repopulate the region with Chinese people. Unfortunately, all of the Chinese brought in to build the railroad ran away.
The Elites have had depopulation dreams before….
“King Leopold’s big dream was to depopulate the Belgian Congo of the native blacks and then repopulate the region with Chinese people.”
Wow, this guy was way ahead of his time. This is what the CCP is working on today.
Who the fuck is King Leopold? Must be a trivia question for Matt Imodio.
King Leopold was the pedophile Belgian King who set up a philanthropic foundation like the Clinton Foundation first to own and govern the Congo as his personal satrapy. His investment was largely bust until Mr. Dunlop invented the rubber tire and created a market for wild raw rubber harvested by slave labor in the Congo. King Leopold was in his 60’s when he had a 15 year old mistress. He used to take trips to London to visit a high end pedophile brothel run especially for European royalty, like Jeffrey Epstein’s operation today. He’d ride around his palace grounds on a big tricycle. King Leopold died of constipation. He was a bit like George W. Bush, Jr.
Maybe I should find some Chinese IT Bloke who can hack the Dominion voting machines and then run for political office in some Po-dunk county in a shit state like the Mississippi Delta? Inject all of the locals with the vaccine and then after the big “Die Off” bring in the Chinese and robots? The impoverished black people in “The Delta” won’t know what-hit-‘em….
” bring in the Chinese and robots? ”
Puck,
Have you finally made leave of your sense? What a ridiculous comment.
The Chinese, in the Ghetto, would not last a month, and all the robots would be stolen…scrapped or forced into sexual slavery.
King Leopold died of constipation. – Pucker
=============
Constipation can be a bitch but I never heard of anybody actually dying from it. So, I Googled “what was King Leopold’s cause of death?” The answer was “pneumonia.”
LOL!
I don’t know Q. Leopold’s stool groom was a slacker. Unlike President “My butts been wiped” .
“The Groom of the Stool was a male servant in the household of the monarch who was responsible for assisting the king in his toileting needs. It is a matter of some debate as to whether the duties involved cleaning the king’s bottom, but the groom is known to have been responsible for supplying a bowl, water and towels and also for monitoring the king’s diet and bowel movements”
Seriously??
I always figured that Trump was such a pampered sloth (7 deadly sins) that he didn’t even *KNOW* how to wipe his own @$$. Q is shocked – haha!!!
According to the book “King Leopold’s Ghost”, I recall that King Leopold died of “Bowel” problems….
Elvis died on the pot from constipation – but perhaps they called it a heart attack?!…
If you are truly interested, read “King Leopold’s Ghost” by Adam Hochschild.
I’ll pass since I am not truly interested.

Meet Monica. I see the seeds of greatness in her.
It was on telegram so I can’t link it here, but I just watch Jacinda horse face actually using Big Brother terms in speeches. She said, you can only trust her and the mininstry of health for health information in what sounded like 1984 sound bytes. Simply stunning.
Just pretend she’s only taking men’s rights away and you’ll be good with it.
After all you said: As long as any women is being oppressed anywhere, no men anywhere should have any rights to anything of their own – like their own rituals, spaces, etc.
And stop misquoting me.
You’re really bad with that.
I didn’t use quotation marks. But it is what you said when you denied men the right to have their own rituals because of “rape” (as if they’re all rapists).
Ironically – this is something some bitchy queen would say.
The triangle talk was about now, UFOs above Bermuda.
And some things she is ‘it’ the NZ czar is a tranny. I dont know for sure.

Yeah just like companies have the right to do what they want with their employees. Get vaxed or get out. And many cheer this.
The point is that you were cheering…..
Hahahaha! What an absolutely lame and inapt comparison.
Is commenting on this blog your job, for which you are paid? Will you starve if you don’t comment on this blog?
I thought you were smarter than to make such a stupid comment.
Meanwhile, you don’t want women to have rights.
You’re all over the place with inconsistencies, aren’t you?
A sunburn and melanoma are different, but still part of the same category known as “skin disease”.
Similarly, having money in order to live comes first but does that mean the First Amendment isn’t important? Both are being jeopardized by Covidism at the level of Principle (Covidians don’t believe in individual freedoms that aren’t granted and taken away by the State).
At this point, I’m basically your Philosophy Professor. You should be paying me tuition.
Did anyone here sign a contract with James before joining the blog?
What a ridiculous comparison.
Another shitty analogy (the skin cancer).
Not even close.
Comparing someone’s personal blog and blocking someone to destroying someone’s livelihood…
That’s pretty insulting to James, actually.

See you on the other side.
Whenever I hear “fair and balanced” my immediate reaction is to say “fuck you”. I realize that isn’t super sweet for your morning coffee and for that I am a bit regretful. But I have to say. Being that nothing and no one is fair and balanced. All things are done with bias and every one has there own biases. Sure. One can try to move toward a sense of balance and there isn’t anything wrong with that. Perhaps it is the best thing to do in some cases? But let’s also get real. I mean the plea for fairly balanced then goes into a biased diatribe. Anyhoo just noticing that little hypocrisy
When I hear “fair and balanced” I think of biased, communist types. Unfair and unbalanced.

What of fans? Well fans are lesser beings outside the fray. Their prayers matter less, but some athletes find a supportive crowd a great advantage.
As I said above, one does get into logical inconsistencies when it comes to petitionary prayer. So you’re not wrong, and of course you’re not interested in any of the other aspects of prayer, so you have the little victory you desire. I’ve never actually found a good book or heard a real sermon on these questions. And I also said above, it’s never been my approach so I’m not the one to ask either. And of course you don’t really want to know, only interested in the little victory.
When the leader of the Haitian rebels was being lead to the gallows, he, a Voodoo Priest, called upon his gods. No doubt one of them entered into him. With supernatural strength he broke his bonds and with superhuman speed made his escape.
The logical inconsistencies are lessened when one thinks of God as not separate from our deepest selves.

You, of course, know this can’t be the case since there is only one God and any other purported gods exist only in the imagination. They have no actual existence. The benefits of supernatural strength and speed were placebo effects enjoyed by the Voodoo Priest.

I just had a ridiculous thought.
Does any one know what the Covid test senses?
If it senses the s protein, could it be that when folks have the reaction to the jab and feel bad, could they be getting positive test results from the release of s proteins from the shot? Could this be that stupid?
MQ has said she thinks that the vaccines have caused the surge. Could be if this scenario is possible.
If so, somebody needs to go to jail.
If you still have that very first question John why on God’s green Earth did you ever get the clot shot in the first place? Don’t get mad at me. It is a genuine serious question. I do want to understand your thought process behind it.
Here goes.
No 1. I consider that a lot of the anti vaxx information is conjecture and opinion and not based on hard data, like autopsies or biopsies. The “everybody is going to die” scenario is BS.
No 2. I am 73, almost 74 with co- morbidities, CAD and melanoma history.
No 3. 50 years of flu shots have never given me a problem.
No 4. The first Covid vaxx gave me no problem, so I did the second, which also gave me no problem.
No 5. Freedom from the government mandates, masks etc.
The risk determination was in favor of getting the vaxx by a long shot. So to speak.
My decision, no one else’s. Believe what you want, okay.
Think about the ludicrous nature of some of the arguments. If the vaxx is going to kill everyone, 200 million people are going to die in the next two years. What would be left would not be worth living in. A government or a corporation that would chance that reaction has to be insane. So I do not believe it.
I read up on my question.
PCR senses the RNA strand.
Why would a World 94% gone back to Nature be not worth livng in, JAZ? You got 500,000,000 slaves, ski resort in Aspen, 2 Teslas in the driveway, kid at Yale II. What’s not to like?
Thank you for getting back with me John. Some people apparently have great difficulty with that. Yes, the very wicked predators that have accumulated at the top of the food chain are psychopaths. Their thinking would seem insane to you, and most people. Maybe that is a normalcy bias for you? Hey. You know, I hope you are right and that those who are saying that the vax is deadly are insane. There are millions of injuries and hundreds of thousands of deaths from the vax if you believe the data. Which. What can you really believe in a toxic soup of deception and disinformation? I have no issue that you made your own decision via your own thought processes. I was just interested to understand how you came to that conclusion.
VAERs
49000 have died within 14 days. No idea of whether the vaxx caused the deaths, no autopsy reports, no idea of how many were caused by a sequelae of the vaccine, like clots or myocarditis.
Even with 49000, that is .03% of the jab recipients. That is better than the Covid deaths. Especially amongst the elderly.
Millions of injuries? VAERs records everything from a sore arm to headaches to fevers to malaise to death. Everyone I have talked to that have been jabbed have some sort of reaction.
Remember too that the reaction is the immune system revving up, which is exactly what it is supposed to do.
Any history of immune deficiency, allergies, asthma, auto immune, abnormal clotting, or congestive heart failure should be contraindicated from the shots.
If I was 30 , had no comorbidities, I would not get near this vaxx for at least five years. The idea of vaxxing kids is repugnant.
You’re out of your fucking mind, sorry, JAZ.
This jab is killing CHILDREN and young people.
Covid did not.
Wake the hell up.
From Naomi Wolf:
“Covid doesn’t even exist in fully normal Sweden, while deaths are skyrocketing in fully vaccinated Israel
Remember back in the early days of the plandemic when it was widely reported that Sweden, which never imposed lockdowns or mask mandates, fared better than just about every other country in the world that oppressed its citizens? Well, the same thing is happening once again with the so-called “vaccines.”
Sweden has basically told the Branch Covidians to go to hell, and the result is that the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) is basically non-existent. Meanwhile in Israel, one of the most “fully vaccinated” countries in the world, the death toll is skyrocketing.
The latest data shows that the death rate in the “Promised Land” is going parabolic as Israelis get injected with two, three, and soon to be four Chinese Virus needles. In Sweden, on the other hand, where natural immunity reigns supreme, life is pretty much back to pre-covid normal.
How can this be if Fauci Flu shots are what is supposed to save us all from testing “positive?” The answer is simple: The shots are a fraud. Fortunately for Swedes, this is common knowledge. Unfortunately for Israel, Australia, the United States and other heavily compromised countries, it is a constant fight for health freedom with no end in sight.
On October 4, Sweden completely lifted the few minor restrictions it still had in place, which were minor compared to what other countries are doing. Life there is quite literally back to normal, and the data charts show that public health is better than ever.
Conversely, Israel, which has become a medical police state hell, is seeing hospitalizations and deaths soar to record highs.
Be like Sweden, not Israel
Just prior to when its final remaining restrictions were lifted, cases in Sweden were about nine percent of the country’s peak and falling. Only 41 infections per 100,000 people had been recorded, and more than likely a bulk of them were asymptomatic.
Nearby Denmark axed its last remaining restrictions as well, and is similarly seeing a massive decline in the number of new cases of the Chinese Virus.
It would appear as though the restrictions themselves were largely responsible for people falling ill and dying. It turns out that remaining isolated and blocking your breathing holes with Chinese plastic is not exactly good for health and well-being, which the left has still not figured out.
In fact, leftists everywhere are doubling down in support of covid fascism, which has become something of an accessory to these people as they trot around showing off their latest face mask designs and vaccine passport holders.
This sickening display of worship towards “science” would not even be worth mentioning were it not being ramrodded down the throats of others. Think Roman Catholic crusade, covid style.
Covidism really is a religion, and one that Sweden and Denmark have decided is not for them. Unfortunately for the West, it is rapidly becoming a convert or die situation where the apostles of Covidism are demanding full allegiance to covid gods in order to live.
“Most don’t know that Israel runs like a collectivist country,” wrote one commenter at Citizen Free Press. “It has no rules limiting government, but look how voting never gets it anywhere, not ever – same old status quo. Guess the Almighty has chosen them to be the example of man’s folly.”
“Sweden has one of the lowest death rates per million,” wrote another. “Shouldn’t it have the highest rate since it didn’t lock down? Half of America is vaccinated and almost that many got covid ANYWAY, even with the lockdowns. All this crap needs to just end. It has nothing to do with any virus.”
Ho hum.
Reuters reports on Sweden and Israel show
Sweden. 80% vaccinated once, 75% twice
Israel 85.5% twice
Not a lot of difference.
I noted that the same amount of folks are being new cases around Sweden, in Norway and Finland, about 6-700 per day. Israel is finishing a big surge, about two thirds down the curve.
A big difference that should be investigated. % vaxxed does not seem to matter.
Seems to me that the main point about Sweden is that they didn’t lock down their country and society.
Tegnell has acknowledged that they screwed up in the beginning with elderly in care homes.
But no reason to double down on insanity because you made a misstep that many made.
They took a chance on common sense instead of authoritarianism.
They stepped off the the totalitarian bandwagon.
Sweden is in the EU. Hmmm might think about going there. At least for a visit!!
Greetings:
Some Infectious disease folks, and virologist, biologists think that doing the vaccine in the middle of a pandemic might be causing these variants, but not sure they wanted to investigate it study it and debate and discuss with other scientists, but MSM, some universities, and government entities shut down debate and discussions. Dark horse podcasts and Dr. Suneel Dhand who are on Facebook have debated this. Dr. Dhand did say for folks like me, almost 60, diabetic, fat and a front line hospital aide in the emergency department I should get the shot. I did no effects, and I believe in the flu shot, but the scientific way of counter studies, heavy debate, discussions and asking of questions is being shut down, that is very worrisome.
You ‘believe in’ a shot? So your conclusions come from belief, not actual scientific fact?
The immune environment after vaxx make life as a virus more tenuous.
Environmental stress can cause genetic change to any organism, hence evolution.
Bacteria are learning to outwit the best antibiotics, why not viruses. Both mutate.
Treat those responsible like a voodoo doll by using the PCR test sticks to inflict maximum pain.

You may recall that yesterday I went on at some length getting to the point that Kelly Evans, a CNBC correspondent, is both bow-legged and pigeon-toed and that for me this is a big turn off.
Well, I would not want to give the impression that I’ve got it in for women. I am every bit as critical of men. Take, for instance, Tyler Mathisen who is also a correspondent with CNBC. The very day I spotted Kelly Evans’s bow legs and pigeon toes Tyler was standing on the same set near Kelly and I literally groaned when I saw how he stood.
He stood with one leg crossing the other at approximately the mid-shin region. This is something done almost exclusively by women who, I’m guessing, believe this stance helps to create a more hour-glass look and thus more sexy. IMHO it is definitely not a good look for a heterosexual male.
Whoever said that Tyler Mathisen was strictly heterosexual?
This is much like men sitting cross legged at the knees, instead of ankle resting on knee, giving greater warmth to the gonads and very bad for the sperm count.
hahaha
Whoever said that Tyler Mathisen was strictly heterosexual? – cow

Well, his spouse since 2004 has a female name. There’s that.
You can expect as time goes on that I will be writing about various other picayune shit about people that annoys the hell out of me. A collection of these future comments might possibly be used to have me committed to a mental institution.
Let’s begin right here with the phenomenal quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers. Until the new NFL season began last month Rodgers’ look and persona was clean cut, intelligent and unperturbable. He even did a 2 week stint as guest host of Jeopardy back in April.
Now, however, he comes onto the football field with long hair hanging out the back of his helmet and he has done some ads where he appears to be sporting a “man bun.” Oh please God (metaphorically speaking) not the “Man Bun!!” Grunge is NOT a good look for Aaron.
In Ireland, men used to cross their legs like that. Don’t know if they still do. My dad did. He was a construction worker and a boxer in his youth. Other blue collar jobs when he came over here. He probably could have broken you in half.
That’s probably because they are accustomed to wearing Irish kilts and don’t want to put too much on display if they sit otherwise.
Oh, I assumed Jar was referring to the standing crossing of the legs, not the seated crossing. My bad.
He was a construction worker and a boxer – Jar

I’m sure your dad was a fine fellow but the hourglass look is very gay for a construction worker and not recommended. Sorry Charlie.
I’m sure he meant the V taper.
Whoops. Ignore my comment above. Reading the thread backwards, bottom to top. I made a presumption that turned out to be wrong. Foolish of me.

I sometimes see clips from MSM and am amazed at how the “news casters” – both male and female, look like botoxed blowup dolls. They sound like them too, with prepackaged soundbites spewing forth.
The reporters on Russia Today actually look and sound more human!
And since we’re talking appearance, I think late President of Libya Gaddafi had a great sense of fashion. And he could carry it off! I will never forgive Hillary for murdering him, among other unforgivable things she has done.
I stopped watching TV ‘news’ in 2012, so whenever I get a glimpse at the ghouls they use for squawking heads these days it’s startling!
Orange people with a ton of makeup and plastic expressions and plastic hair.
And they are all very stern, condescending, and LOUD.

What are your ideas on the evolution of linguistics? I’m seeing the language change, smaller vocabularies, and phrases that mean nothing used over and over. Such as “like” and “ya know”. I think the use of “like” started in valley girl talk.
I’m hearing language today as some sort of strange birdsong. Even the cadence has changed.
The cadence is as annoying to me as auto-tune.
But linguistics evolve… whether we like it or not, I guess.
and phrases that mean nothing used over and over. Such as “like” and “ya know” – Nigel
===========
Complaining about like and ya know is like ancient history, ya know? In any given 15 minute conversation with my son Thom he will say those words a couple of hundred times. No exaggeration. Drives me crazy. Cannot break him of the habit… not one iota.
More currently my big beef is vocal fry and up talk. Google these terms if you’re unfamiliar. Vocal fry is almost exclusively a female thing. Up talk has spread from females to everybody in recent years.
Vocal fry & uptalk are very annoying, agree.
Up talk. Like, big ups?
No anmari, I had to Google big ups (I had never heard of it) and from what I read it has zero to do with the term up talk. Up talk is an upward inflection of the voice at the end of a sentence making the sentence sound like a question.
Say “The sky is blue.”
Now say “The sky is blue?”
Notice the difference?
Valley Girl with a heaping helping of Kardashian speak.
Like um yah know gag me with a spoOOOON.
Got it.
Thanks for getting me caught up on all this!
Uptalk makes everything sound like a question. I first heard it long ago – Hispanic girls for whom English was a second language, so maybe they were unsure of themselves. I’ll have to search ‘vocal fry’ on youtoobe so I can hear it. What I hear around these parts are Amish form of German, and the old English mountain talk.
I am also annoyed when speakers start their sentence with “so”. It implies that they are jumping into the story somewhere other than the beginning. And that if you are in the know, you will understand all that was left out.
So, y’know, it’s like late. See ya on down the road.
NPR started that years ago, and I noticed it, and said something to people. No one cared, and now everyone does it. Even me, sometimes.
Re NPR,
another recent tic of newscasters and even weather forecasters is to start every other sentence with “Now, . . .”
“NOw, the suspect was apprehended . . .” WTF?
As if they were telling a fairy tale to a child; “Now, the witch didn’t realize that the knight was on his way . . .”
Has anyone else noticed this?
It’s bloody annoying. Lexically it has no meaning, but obviously it serves some purpose in the “atmosphere” of newscasting, because all of them seem to do it. Now. It seems to me that females do it more than males, but not sure—I don’t watch enough telly to provide more data.
It’s as if they can’t just start a sentence where it begins, but have to insert meaningless “noise.”
My new coinage: “linguistica” for this kind of word sausage.
BTW just copyedited a ms. by a young author who started just about sentence with “So . . .” Fixed.
Shouldn’t make fun of people with rickets.
I missed what you meant at first reading, about the dude crossing his legs. I thought you meant sitting, but you mean standing. Yeah, that’s a little odd, but is it unmasculine?
Perhaps he was desperate for a pee. 🙂
Ha!
Yeah, that’s a little odd, but is it unmasculine? – MQ

Before I answer let’s make sure we’re on the same page. We’re talking about a male in a standing position with one leg crossing the other around mid-shin.
The answer, then, is ABSOLUTELY. A very feminine look. And I’ll go one better… picture this male standing as described with, in addition, one hand at the waistline with thumb to the rear and four fingers splayed toward the front on the hip (a classic female model stance).
During a break in the action on an outdoor basketball court a friend (6’3″) stood exactly as I described. When this guy bought a new pair of blue jeans (known as dungarees in those days) he would take them directly to a tailor to have them “tailored” to a perfect fit. I wondered to myself “who does this?” It wasn’t until a couple of decades later that I heard he was gay and living with another guy who I did not know was gay. They were all “in the closet” in those days.
Grampz lookin’ for a lamestream news hottie to bang! (/ducks)
Onward we go toward the fascist end game:
In Bern, it appears they are looking to put stickers on the mailboxes of all “vaxxed” residents so that newly minted “vaccine advisors” can identify who gets a home visit and who does not. For efficiency, of course

Hmmm, poepole are supposed to do the “crossing” themselves, looks like.
The only ethically correct response is for everyone to “wear” the cross—following was it the king of Denmark during WW2? It may be a legend, but per Wiki he did write in his journal:
“It is important to note that the King did write in his personal diary this entry: “When you look at the inhumane treatment of Jews, not only in Germany but occupied countries as well, you start worrying that such a demand might also be put on us, but we must clearly refuse such this due to their protection under the Danish constitution. I stated that I could not meet such a demand towards Danish citizens. If such a demand is made, we would best meet it by all wearing the Star of David.”[18]”
As for Switzerland I can imagine a lot of fun to be had by the boese Impf-Imps!
Drawing red crosses all over the place and on all mailboxes, adding four “Hacken” etc. Creating cross mayhem might be fun . . .

Ancient Briton found to be White. This has caused an onslaught of shock and bitterness. Shouldn’t he look like Megan Markle or something? One recalls the Black who helped Winnie write his speech in the underground. Who could be more British than he? A cheerful bloke, he forgave the White Morlocks all around him for their racism, confident than that he was the real Anglo Saxon!
One poster: Blacks even claim to be the real Japanese. That I didn’t know, but I believe it.
One recalls the Black who helped Winnie write his speech – Jar
==========
Artistic license be damned, that scene REALLY pissed you off didn’t it?
And it doesn’t bother you in the least. That’s why we’re doomed.
What bothers me is that we as a culture have evolved in a negative way that makes it necessary for a movie studio to have to apportion the available major roles (by gender, race, and other factors) according to some formula. If not you’ll catch hell in the Awards Shows. And the non-whites must be shown in some heroic or, at a minimum, favorable light. Thus the Black guy in the subway with Winnie.
Skin color really isn’t the issue, except to the dim bulbs who believe that that’s all there is to race, LOL.
The truth is that there are hundreds of gene clusters including abundance of melanin in the dermis that demarcate Europeans from Sub-Saharans. So what if our ancestors in that time frame had somewhat darker skin. The nogs will of course claim that ‘we wuz kangs’ regardless, supported by such flimsy evidence. Forensic anthropologists have never had any trouble identifying black and white remains. Are somma dem bones a shade darker? Nope.
The dim bulbs who think race is just skin color? That’s almost everyone, including college professors.
As Anglin says, they think we don’t like Blacks because of their skin color….!
This video from Clif High is very interesting. It’s a bit more personal than some of his others. He talks about the relationship of the soul to the pineal gland, among other things:
https://seemorerocks.is/clif-high-they-want-to-kill-you-the-delingpod/
He is so fascinating! Sometimes too out there for me, but what a smart man. He developed those web crawlers which allowed him to really almost predict the future. Apparently now the PTB have changed things and he can’t do that any more.
Was he the guy that started -half past human?
I don’t know. I haven’t really watched him all that much. A friend does, though and told me what happened to his ‘crawlers’.
Thanks Mar

Thanx messi
I’m not giving ‘Hopium’, I’m not saying that we’re all going into ‘The Wizard of Oz land’ as of any particular day, I’m saying we’ve got a very long hard, years of suffering, years of deprivation, years of shortages, years of your life changing until you will no longer even remember what we used to call Normal, and in that process of going through the agony, the suffering and the death, we will become a free humanity and that will be worth it.”
Clif High
So far so good. Imma go back and listen to this guy.
For JohnAZ:
If you go to Worldometer.com and plug in any state and look at their charts you will see that there was very little if any Covid19 UNTIL DECEMBER 2020 when the clotshots came out. Afterwards there is an upward trajectory.
Please explain how this is possible. It isn’t unless: 1) the jabs CAUSE infections and/or 2) the jabs cause injury.
There is no other explanation.
And by ‘covid’ I mean what THEY call covid, given I don’t believe it exists as a pandemic virus but just your regular cold or flu virus.
Sufficient evidence has been brought forward that this virus doesn’t act any different than regular flu or cold. Doctors in hospitals exascerbated the symptoms by using Remdesivir, or refused to treat ’til too late, and most people who died from it (if not all), died WITH it and with other co-morbidities on their way out.
This is all on record. This is not ‘opinon’ or ‘theory’.
There were Covid surges last Spting and a big surge last summer, way before the December time frame, according to the John’s Hopkins tabulation I follow.
If you were watching it now, you would be wondering why the south surged two months ago and the northern tier is surging now.
Indoor living? Temperature? %daylight?
“…according to the John’s Hopkins tabulation I follow.”
There’s the problem.

Also, I think you can judge a robot by its cover.
I seriously wonder whether this girl’s parents had her genetically engineered…
Books are different. No genes they can mess with.
Even in general terms, when I speak of ‘robots’, I’m talking about people who will deliberately imitate anything a machine can do, if it brings them attention and ‘success’.

Maybe they should not have picked the Jimmy Hill chin from the catalogue.
+++++
Me: The chin is the tell, although the eyes and eyebrows are a bit too lowering.
Eye makeup way too careful/professional compared to crappy outfit “she” has on.
Doesn’t know how to dress. Or, does the jacket somewhat camoflage too-wide shoulders?
Just my take.
I called it.
A few times, now. Once you understand how the cabal operates you can spot their psyops a mile a way.
So, now Frances Haughen is a trans-gender, psyop tool of the powers that be?
Insane.
Hey, just speculatin’!
Maybe perfect date for you?
But careful with the hanky-panky.
Might lead to some surprises . . .
I wasn’t talking about her being a man, I was talking about her being a DNC operative.
“Summary: Haugen is a operative.”
I called it – several times this week.
Clear enough for you, Fake Trae? You seem to need more ‘splainin’ than most up here.
“So many of them are trans nowadays, hard to know.”
My comprehension is just fine…your dot-to-dot thinking is very confused.
Again, you flounder, and fail.
I didn’t ‘call it’ a few times by saying she’s trans.
I ‘called it’ a few times by saying she was a DNC operative.
You can go skim through comments, and see for yourself.
Again: not here to help you with reading comprehension.
Yet if only you could write lucidly and accurately. Oh well…
Me, too.
Her testimony is music to the ears of those who want MORE REGULATION and CENSORSHIP.
So many of them are trans nowadays, hard to know. I have read that it’s part of making oneself in higher esteem to Moloch, who is trans.
If so, these people really are screwed in the head.
But it would explain the trans agenda madness (at least in part).
Love this site. I’ve learned so much already, and I can’t even keep up with the comments due to farm chores.
I wondered about Haugen’s massive jaw. Reminded me of Malinda Gates chin and jaw – a popular pick from the ‘catalogue’ of chins.
Hey Nig, or should I say Chris? Luved your work in Spinal Tap.
Thanks anmar! You can call me Nig, has a nice ring to it. 😉
I just listened to what ‘vocal fry’ sounds like = a kazoo! I used to talk through a kazoo just for fun. Try it sometime, it’s better than vocal fry!
N EYE Ju the Brithish way, Nige.

I don’t know what her psy op credentials are – which are what matters – but she has a face shape similar to a blond friend of mine, originally from Lincolnshire in England, who periodically referred to her ‘Anglo-Saxon jaw’ when we were students. This woman here also sounds like a woman.
People can get carried away.
Now the supposedly female Navy surgeon whistleblower a few people linked to recently sounded like a man to me (I don’t care either way) but no-one commented because she was on the home team.
Not helpful, this stuff. Although I don’t have time for trans ‘agendas’.
Huh, do you assess the “helpfulness” of everything people write in comments threads here?
I hadn’t noticed!
I do have to agree – the trans crazy stuff aside – this woman has masculine traits to her build but I have actually had friends with this bone structure who were 100% female.
“Now the supposedly female Navy surgeon whistleblower a few people linked to recently sounded like a man to me (I don’t care either way) but no-one commented because she was on the home team.”
Yes, she had a low voice.
But IMO she looked, moved, stood like a woman.
PS wish we could have gotten more info on her presentation
It just seems like there is zero follow-up for so many important revelations that get made.
She’s a replicant designed by the Tyrell Corporation. She was designed to be exactly between male and female so as to elicit this confused response in people.
To elicit a confused response in CONFUSED people, more like.
Who else here is totally getting psyched?

Of course, in both World Wars, the French and the Germans prayed to the same God for opposite results with far more at stake than a regular season NFL game.
I cannot comment on what is going through the field-goal kicker’s head. He clearly wants success. Is he worthy – especially when the other team’s quarterback visited Sick Kids Hospital again this past Wednesday?
I don’t know.
God knows. God can provide a gust of wind (or cessation thereof), a shoe-lace hitting a football lace hooking a otherwise True kick askew, etc. God parted the Red Sea by causing a tsunami from a Mediterranean Sea earthquake. He can surely affect field goals if He so chooses.
—–
We are warned not to tempt God. It is desireable that we ask for success in our endeavours. It is Wrong, however, to say, “Snuff this candle to show me Your existence.”
It is not for me to judge how others worship and I do appreciate that openly sharing your worship with a platform (i.e. millions watching NFL on TV) could bring others to God but I, like you Q, cannot help but think that some of it is perhaps showy virtue-signalling.
If I were that kicker, I’d pray privately on the sidelines when being completely ignored throughout most of the game.
That’s my 2 cents.

Personally, I Believe that petitioning the Lord for future results should always include: “If it be Your will, …”

I saw him in concert a few years ago. Front row. I got free seats because of my job. So, about half way through the concert, the guy behind me taps me on the shoulder and says, ‘ We came to hear him, not you.’
Same deal with a box at an NHL game. We noticed the box next to us was full of techy types, then out comes Bill Gates, or a resonable facsimile. Didn’t he used to own part of the canucks franchise?
“In June, five weeks after health officials in Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state, launched an aggressive program to fight Covid and the Delta variant, new cases dropped by a staggering 97.1 percent.
According to ZeeNews of India, “The strategy of trace, test & treat yields results.”
The health officials went door-to-door in the state of 230 million residents, providing a test and treat program with medicine kits.
The World Health Organization (WHO) praised the overwhelming success of the program, but would not identify the medicines used in the kits provided to residents.
International media, including Big Media in the United States, also refused to identify the medicines in the kits.
What was in the kits?
That would be Ivermectin.
By July 2, Covid cases in Uttar Pradesh were down a full 99 percent, and still media would not acknowledge that Ivermectin was a key ingredient in the Uttar Pradesh success story.
On Aug. 6, India’s Ivermectin media blackout ended as Western media, including MSN, “finally acknowledged what was contained in those Uttar Pradesh medicine kits,” Dr. Justus R. Hope noted in an analysis for The Desert Review on Sept. 27.
On Aug. 25, the Indian media finally picked up on the discrepancy between Uttar Pradesh’s massive success and the failure in other states, such as Kerala. Although Uttar Pradesh was only 5 percent vaccinated to Kerala’s 20 percent, Uttar Pradesh had just 22 new Covid cases on Aug. 25, while Kerala was overwhelmed with 31,445 that day.
“So it became apparent that whatever was contained in those treatment kits must have been pretty effective,” Dr. Hope noted.
News18 reported: “Let’s look at the contrasting picture. Kerala, with its 3.5 crore population – or 35 million, on Aug. 25 reported 31,445 new cases, a bulk of the total cases reported in the country. Uttar Pradesh, the biggest state with a population of nearly 24 crore – or 240 million – meanwhile reported just 22 cases in the same period.”
https://www.worldtribune.com/behind-indias-ivermectin-blackout-new-covid-cases-dropped-97-percent-in-5-weeks/
But the Five Eyes countries are not allowed this remedy.
And you say this isn’t a hoax? OK then.
Sept 17th
“Setting another record, Uttar Pradesh became the first Indian state on Wednesday to inoculate more than 9 crore (90 million) people with Covid-19 vaccines. The state has administered a total of 9.01 crore vaccine doses so far since the launch of the nationwide Covid vaccination drive in January.
..and then there’s that. With 90 million vaccinated (as of late September), by all accounts from the BS you spew (on an hourly basis), the streets should be littered with dead ‘vax victims’. Where are they?
I have no problem accepting MaryQueen’s comments about the kits and the low rate of COVID-19 after July 2.
For the sake of argument, I’ll accept Redneck Liberal’s comment.
So, assuming both comments are true, it implies that
1. Ivermectin prevented/contained COVID-19
2. Ivermectin also appears to mitigate the serious side effects, including death, suffered by the a minority of the vaccinated.
So perhaps one should take Ivermectin BEFORE taking the shot…
So then, why take the shot if one is low risk?
MaryQ’s assertion that ivermectin is the ‘miracle cure’ in Uttar Pradesh requires a little more corroboration than that offered here.
The weird thing in all this is the ‘accepted wisdom’ among the vaccine-resisters is that it’s a ‘frankenshot’, the ‘clot shot’, a surreptitiously introduced ‘bioweapon’ from the PTB/Deep State/Banksters/BillGates/DonaldDuck et al intended to depopulate the planet.
This implies that most EVERYBODY in Public Health roles, around the globe, are ‘in on it’. On the very face of it, this is just laughable. What’s NOT laughable is how many (even if a small minority) people believe this shit and then act on these flawed beliefs.
Interestingly, these folk also believe the rest of the CT canon, generally without a blink, and that ivermectin works (miracle-like) and THAT’S why its use is being ‘suppressed’, apparently because there’s no billions of corporate profit in it; as well as believing electoral theft; CRT- teaching misinformation; Chinese Communists running the US Govt….and on and on ad nauseam ‘
For fuck’s sake….
The letter doctors are given in the US. Essentially, play the game or lose your license.
No one is allowed to question the vaccines. And you continue to be a good little covid death cultist. Everything in this letter is a lie. There is zero scientific proof behind anything. And obviously, the vaccines are not safe, as they are killing people, which you’re oddly in denial of, even when shown proof. There is no cure for your sort of denial, Fake Trae.
Dear Dr. (my name),
The Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), which supports its member state medical licensing boards, has recently issued a statement saying that providing misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine contradicts physicians’ ethical and professional responsibilities, and therefore may subject a physician to disciplinary actions, including suspension or revocation of their medical license. We at the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM), the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), and the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) support FSMB’s position. We also want all physicians certified by our boards to know that such unethical or unprofessional conduct may prompt their respective board to take action that could put their certification at risk.
Expertise matters, and board certified physicians have demonstrated that they have stayed current in their field. Spreading misinformation or falsehoods to the public during a time of a public health emergency goes against everything our boards and our community of board certified physicians stand for. The evidence that we have safe, effective and widely available vaccines against COVID-19 is overwhelming. We are particularly concerned about physicians who use their authority to denigrate vaccination at a time when vaccines continue to demonstrate excellent effectiveness against severe illness, hospitalization and death.
We all look to board certified physicians to provide outstanding care and guidance; providing misinformation about a lethal disease is unethical, unprofessional and dangerous. In times of medical emergency, the community of expert physicians committed to science and evidence collectively shares a responsibility for giving the public the most accurate and timely health information available, so they can make decisions that work best for themselves and their families.

Hey redneck. You should take a look at what the doctors are saying about it over at the market ticker.
read all the pinned threads and comments.
And also today I saw the patent approval for 5g interface, and 1800 more patents relating to the vax. The link is upthread a bit, where I ask if he’s the guy from half past human.
There is zero reason to take the shot.
They aren’t reported, there are definitely hundreds of thousands more than the 9K who actually died ‘of covid19’ per the CDC.
Sadly, Matt Taibbi has continued on the way of dissing ivermectin.

Wow, high schools sound like prisons. Tell me the difference!
The Golden days of autumn are upon us, the afternoon sun still radiating warmness, the nights crisp, the air translucent. Maple and oak tree leaves beginning to show some color, and in a light breeze, drift in a circular motion to the ground. In fact, they’re beginning to pile up. So you can imagine how surprised I was this afternoon listening to a local radio talk show, with the guest, a local prof, go on about the Climate Crisis, the Global Emergency, the Catastrophe that has befallen us, with doomsday just 8 years away, AND IT MIGHT ALREADY BE TOO LATE! The alarmist spiel didn’t square with what I was seeing in front of me with mine own eyes.
Sure it’s a load of bullsh#t but what is troubling is the conclusion many of these Climate experts have come too, which is that the liquidation of large numbers of human beings might be the necessary remedy to save earth’s eco systems. I’m seeing it more and more, sometimes cloaked in Marxists political diatribes against ‘Capitalism’ and ‘White Supremacy’. Its beginning to get a little clearer which part of humanity, and which political system, they want to liquidate.
-Marlin, xhe, xHim.
Indeed.
I bought into the hype after 2005. Notice, not much has changed since then, except mostly Democrat tyranny filling the ocean with bacteria-laden disposable masks and plastic grocery bags.
Yeah but we’re supposed to conserve.
“Skin color really isn’t the issue, except to the dim bulbs who believe that that’s all there is to race, LOL…”
99% of “race” discussions are polluted by confusions between what is genetic and what is cultural.
And even if some discussed attribute of a “race” IS in fact genetic, why not simply treat it as a cultural attribute, then criticize away… why insist on trampling straight in to genetic-criticism territory when there is no need for it, no certainty of the veracity of such an outlook, and no practical outcome atrained by it?
Why fight your “race” war on genetic grounds when it could just as effectively, if not more effectively, be fought on simple cultural terms?
I would agree that in this day and age, culture is much more prominent than race, when it comes to behavior and trends.
That’s a good point you make there, Gus. Many of these so called Race Issues are indeed more cultural than race based. I mean look how Larry Elder was treated by Libs and Big Media in the Cal. recall election. And I’d venture to say much of Elder’s support came from the White and Hispanic electorate.
The real divisions in America are between the Haves and Have nots.
Capitalism breeds winners and losers, that is a fact. Not controlling the negative aspects of Capitalism has led us to where we are right now.
Add on to that the government has succeeded in loading up the Have not side through worthless college degrees and unbelievable amounts of uncontrolled immigration.
When the have nots of every society outnumber the Haves, either Revolution starts, or the society dies and is replaced by another.
The vote has saved the US by enabling the changeover of philosophies as war has allowed recovery from Have Have not imbalances.
The vote is worthless now and war is obsolete,
As is the US. The Gimmes are in control.
I agree, and society is engineered into ever-splintering groups, to sow resentment and hatred.
Marlin, Latinx
I’m not fighting a “race” war. I’m simply stating the truth about race. There are differences between the races. You may say you believe they’re only superficial but I don’t think you believe that (& it shows by the way you have responded to my comment). I believe that, like all the rest of the center-right, you’re a cringeing coward for insisting that whites have to tip-toe around the issue, so afraid to be called a “racist”, when blacks clearly are not playing nice & don’t care one bit about your subtleties.
Furthermore, you’re misconstruing my position. I never said culture wasn’t important. And I have a range of issues I comment on, not just about race. But I’ll damn well say what I bloody want to when the mood strikes. Does it hurt my cause — & that’s another thing… how do you even know I have a cause? If I knew what the answers were, you would have heard about it by now. But assuming I do have one, does it hurt my cause to speak plainly? I don’t think so. I will speak plainly unlike the other wishy-washy posts your comment has drawn. This is looking at you, MaryQ & BRH.
My opinion is just as valid as yours, and I don’t give a rat’s ass what you think of it. Have a nice evening!
Your opinion may be just as valid as mine, but the facts speak for themselves. You also have a nice evening.
I should have clarified that my post was not meant to be directed at you Tate. i was piggybacking off your topic and making a general statement and should have clarified that.
There are differences between the races. These differences are 100 times better explained as “cultural” rather than “genetic”. Especially the most significant differences.
I just disagree on this. Genetics explains a lot. So does culture. Who is taking the more extreme position here?
The thing is Tate, thinking of ‘The Other’ as genetically OR culturally inferior had led to some not so good outcomes in the Soviet Union and Germany 1920-1953 (Stalin’s death). I think what’s happening in the USA right now is an attempt to cast Whites as The Other.
I do think black culture is inferior in the sense that ideas that I hold important, such as working hard, responsibility to one’s family, being on time, meeting commitments, & so on don’t seem to matter as much to them.
I used to cut them a lot of slack but from now on they will have to prove to me that I should think otherwise. If certain people claim that I am responsible for their misery, then that’s a non-starter, whether Robin D’Angelo likes it or not.
In other words, deny genetics. Then when Blacks don’t do as well (because they are intellectually inferior on average) blame “systemic racism” (Whites) for it.
Same failed, cowardly approach we’ve taken for generations now.
Haven’t we about reached the end of our tether, J? How many sandbags to go before we reach Harrison Bergeron 2081?
No jarek…when blacks don’t do as well, blame that failure on any fuckin thing you want. Blame it on laziness, white oppression, a fundamentally flawed black culture. Or blame it on nothing and simply react to the (hypothetical or not) failure of blacks to thrive with consequences or rejection for that failure. React however you want to the situation….but DON’T use the weak, unprovable, impractical, and frankly moronic genetic argument. Who the fuck cares about the reasoning anyway. Just fight the fucking war you want to fight and quit with elaborate justifications, especially if you insist on leading your justification with the least provable and simultaneously irrelevant rationale out there (genetic inferiority). I do despise the genetic-argument obsessives. It’s a sure sign of someone with their head up their ass both philosophically and practically. Splitting hairs between genetics and culture is scientifically unprovable, useless, and you don’t even need it to oppose any target “racial” group…so its just a masturbatory, impotent position.
The truth is, “genetics” and “culture” are just concepts, and i would argue, actually indivisibly linked.
This means, genetics are never absolute, culture constantly shapes genetics.
So the absolutist “genetic inferiority” or “fixed genetic identity” concept is flawed. genetics are pliable. culture is pliable. culture and genetics are two arms of a joined, active, vital, changeable hub of identity
Anything goes & nothing matters. That’s postmodernism.
Myopic, cramped-horizoned, overly-simplistic conservatism is the number one enabler of its opposite, vagary-filled, infinitely wishy-washy “postmodernism”.
i’m going to go ahead and accuse you of the former.
i do not represent the latter. you’re stuck in a matrix.
And I do not represent the former. Thank you.
you lean toward an extreme genetic determinism and write supportive comments under posts championing idiotically exaggerated iews of the relevance “IQ”. I’m suspicious.
See my comment above. Who is taking the extreme position?
I mean specifically my comment at 10:28 am Octo 8.
OK, here’s something else that annoys me: Pete Carrol, head coach of the Seattle Seahocks. He perpetually chews what appears to be 3 full packs of Bazooka Bubble Gum. Thank God I have never seen him actually blowing a bubble.

Looked like he had some sort of carcinoma on the side of his head last night. Maybe he’s just nervous about that? The Hawks of course blew, even before Wilson went out – Gino was actually decent for the first time in his NFL life – and the speculation this morning is once again all about Wilson wanting out of Seattle. Maybe the Hawks and the Pack can make a deal to swap QBs?
The Female of the Species, by Rudyard Kipling
When the Himalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride,
He shouts to scare the monster, who will often turn aside.
But the she-bear thus accosted rends the peasant tooth and nail.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
When Nag the basking cobra hears the careless foot of man,
He will sometimes wriggle sideways and avoid it if he can.
But his mate makes no such motion where she camps beside the trail.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
When the early Jesuit fathers preached to Hurons and Choctaws,
They prayed to be delivered from the vengeance of the squaws.
’Twas the women, not the warriors, turned those stark enthusiasts pale.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Man’s timid heart is bursting with the things he must not say,
For the Woman that God gave him isn’t his to give away;
But when hunter meets with husband, each confirms the other’s tale—
The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Man, a bear in most relations—worm and savage otherwise,—
Man propounds negotiations, Man accepts the compromise.
Very rarely will he squarely push the logic of a fact
To its ultimate conclusion in unmitigated act.
Fear, or foolishness, impels him, ere he lay the wicked low,
To concede some form of trial even to his fiercest foe.
Mirth obscene diverts his anger! Doubt and Pity oft perplex
Him in dealing with an issue—to the scandal of The Sex!
But the Woman that God gave him, every fibre of her frame
Proves her launched for one sole issue, armed and engined for the same;
And to serve that single issue, lest the generations fail,
The female of the species must be deadlier than the male.
She who faces Death by torture for each life beneath her breast
May not deal in doubt or pity—must not swerve for fact or jest.
These be purely male diversions—not in these her honour dwells.
She the Other Law we live by, is that Law and nothing else.
She can bring no more to living than the powers that make her great
As the Mother of the Infant and the Mistress of the Mate!
And when Babe and Man are lacking and she strides unclaimed to claim
Her right as femme (and baron), her equipment is the same.
She is wedded to convictions—in default of grosser ties;
Her contentions are her children, Heaven help him who denies!—
He will meet no suave discussion, but the instant, white-hot, wild,
Wakened female of the species warring as for spouse and child.
Unprovoked and awful charges—even so the she-bear fights,
Speech that drips, corrodes, and poisons—even so the cobra bites,
Scientific vivisection of one nerve till it is raw
And the victim writhes in anguish—like the Jesuit with the squaw!
So it comes that Man the coward, when he gathers to confer
With his fellow-braves in council, dare not leave a place for her
Where, at war with Life and Conscience, he uplifts his erring hands
To some God of Abstract justice—which no woman understands.
And Man knows it! Knows, moreover, that the Woman that God gave him
Must command but may not govern—shall enthral but not enslave him.
And She knows, because She warns him and Her instincts never fail,
That the Female of Her Species is more deadly than the Male.
Well, good timing on that 1 tate. 😉
Norway has dropped all restrictions because the death rate is no worse than the flu. – Armstrong (Best News)
Therefore,
No vaccine mandates.
No vaccine passports.
No masks.
Full capacity allowed at every venue be it large concerts, parties, sporting events, you name it. In other words, normal life would be restored.
COVIDMANIA “is clearly for some nefarious political agenda, which has yet to come out.” – Armstrong

What??? NO hope, at all? Surely a course of Ivermectin (from the online Snake Oil stores, not the veterinary clinic) would sort it out? What dosage do you recommend Dr. MaryQuaint?
As to the jester you c&p’d in, I could not agree with Dr Newton more. The rabid rejection of science & commonsense among a tiny handful of medical professionals (with “informative” website, is astounding. Most of them end with “Donate Now”, which would tell you all you need to know, if you were actually THINKING with your apparently otherwise adequately functions brain.

There’s a name for this kind of typo. It’s called a “fat finger typo” but, again, that requires the erroneous key struck to be one key away from the intended key.
I measured the distance between letters a and i on my standard keyboard. It is 5.25 inches. You must be much bigger than Goliath for the error to be classified as a fat finger typo.
Sorry, you’re busted.
No its called tangle fingers and having wrestled my fingers have been broken numerous times they don’t work as well as they should.
The pointis you don’t haveall the answers for wy some people type so pooryl.
I did not go back and correct som eof my typing errors for effect.
Get it?
In fact I might just leave all my typing errors just to drive you crazy.
