Have Americans grokked that virtually all of the mis-and-dis-information bombarding them lo these many years actually comes from the government and the news media channels that serve it? What we’ve got now in this country is a Mind-Fuckery Industrial Complex waging a psy-ops war on the people of this land. Why is that?
Essentially, to cover-up past crimes against the country by public officials. Twitter, pre-Musk, was a major accomplice and enabler of all that, and suddenly it’s not — to the horror of everyone in charge at our nation’s seat of government. The main crimes revolve around selling-out America’s future one way or another — “Joe Biden” and Company being only the most blatant perps in the big picture.
Before them was Hillary Clinton, with her purchase of the Democratic National Committee and previous lucrative ops during her turn as Secretary of State, like the Uranium One deal, the Skolkovo military tech transfer op, and then the Russia Collusion op to insure none of that would ever come to light. The whole Intel Community behemoth was neck deep in it, too, amping up the Russia prank into a four-year coup d’état. Remember, The New York Times won a Pulitzer Prize for reporting that Hillary’s little hoax was for-real. It’s all just gotten more grotesque since Mr. Trump was ejected in the souped-up 2020 election, with sideshows such as the ongoing race-and-gender hustles, the climate con, and the Green New Deal bullshit.
Covid-19, surely released on-purpose, was, as Ed Dowd avers, a cover for global bankruptcy. Nothing else explains the astounding coordination of so many governments acting the same way against their own citizens: lockdowns, vaxx mandates, vaxx passports, and all. The icing on that poison cake, of course, is that everything the public health officialdom told you about Covid-19 was patently untrue, and dishonestly so, not via omission or plain incompetence. In fact, the virus was made in a Chinese lab with the help of Dr. Fauci and colleagues. Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine did work effectively against it. The “vaccines” were not tested properly and turned out to be harmful. And now the Covid-19 melodrama is ending in a discernable death-of-the-vaxxed and the reveal of all those aforesaid lies, while, anyway, despite their gaslight and smoke-screens, the global bankruptcy approaches its nauseating climax.
Watching the post-election political vaudeville during the lame-duck Christmas intermezzo, one can’t escape perceiving that just about everything in the USA is now heading south toward breakdown and ruin. The on-the-ground economy craters, inflation rages at the supermarket, supply lines break, the oil and gas industries get strangled, health care goes down smoking and burning, public education folds in disgrace and failure, Wall Street ends with a bang and a whimper, and John Fetterman prepares for his place in history.
Our government’s Ukraine op is ending in disaster for that sad-sack former Russian province and, surprise-surprise, for the European Union, NATO, and us, too. We finally played the Russia card like we’re the proverbial patsy at the poker table. Our hand turns out to be a pair of deuces with the five-of-diamonds high. Russia rakes in the chips with its massive natural resources and the world’s most stable currency, soon to be backed by gold. How’d that turn out, Victoria Nuland?
The EU was already functionally bankrupt. Now it has lost its entire industrial base for a lack of fuel to run it — self-Epsteined, shall we say, on the national scale — and faces not just a return to the medieval standard-of-living but also to the competitive savagery of many small nations soon to be fighting among themselves, making bad conditions worse. So sad. Euroland was a nice place to visit at the turn of the millennium and now the lights will blink out, like seeing a fond relative expire, eyes going vacant, on her deathbed.
Western Civ is, after all, a kind of family. And now the family is disintegrating — as old families will — in a malodorous fog of receivership, vice, and imbecility. Here in the USA, it’s hard to have faith in the supposed political opposition, the Republican Party. Not with Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy still riding herd. They preside over their own coterie of extravagant grift and disgusting privilege. Don’t be shocked… shocked… if they just stand by while America crumples into history at the hands of “Joe Biden.” If there is any saving of this nation, these two must be defenestrated — though saving the nation from penury, depravity, and senility looks increasingly improbable, at least in the form of the old federal republic we knew and loved.
The macro trend is quite clear, as laid out in The Long Emergency: what’s coming is the opposite of global government; rather, national governments become increasingly impotent and illegitimate, and smaller regions by necessity must retreat into autarky to keep anything going. For us that means Washington DC sinks into irrelevance while the states, or perhaps mere parts of the states, have to take charge of their own affairs.
That recovery process might have been jump-started by the Elon Musk revolution at Twitter. It will be a lot harder for the Mind-Fuckery Industrial Complex to operate with this key player in revolt. Lies will be contested now on the grand scale in ways that were formerly subverted. Things blurry will come into focus. Fresh air will blow in on chill winter winds. New ops against the people, such as the threatened central bank digital dollar, will be laughed off the stage. Some lights go out, but others get turned on.

Then the culprits shrug, apologize, wink and nod and life goes on.
Pretty much, yeah.
The wink this time may be separation of states into groups that share values not supported by federal controls. As conditions deteriorate and crimes become uncovered separation from the rotting corruption may be the most expeditious path to survival.
I don’t think that can happen so easily. The red state / blue state thing doesn’t depict the reality of the divisions within states and even metropolitan areas. I read this weekend that liberal Chicago has as many people as the mostly conservative rest of the state. The same dynamic occurs in western Oregon and western California versus the coastal areas of those states. Even a seemingly solid conservative state like Texas has millions of progressive Democrats in Austin, Houston, and Dallas.
Oops. I meant eastern Oregon and California.
i live in eastern central cali–when met my wife(’75) to be Bishop was a cow town-her family has a couple of ranches–since then most the red necks have left and the hispanic is the new red neck,awesome-the lib goooovermint retired workers have moved in with all their lib woke crap–they even have their lbgt shett going on all the time—making plans to move to rurual Nv but even vegas,reno have gone lib woke–when the crash and burn takes place all those weird os will go back into the holes they crawled out of–good riddence
Those are precisely the ideological lines along which the divisions might take place… as Jim said; “or perhaps mere parts of the states.”
I too fail to see how the division into red and blue states could ever come about. Where I live, a “blue” state, the cities are firmly blue and the huge rural areas are firmly red. We still have farms and forests, but we don’t have sufficient population in these rural areas to turn the state red.
Well, the division of british raj india into pakistan, india and bangladesh, required the actual movement of millions.
And now we see it every day, but may not recognize it, down on the border.
West of the rockies is changing it’s face. this is sure material for demographic upheaval.
And americans have always moved around the continent.
Niner:
Good point.
And the ethnic violence in cities was horrific. Esp. Hindu on Moslem.
William Dalrymple’s City of Djinns: A Year in Delhi, has quite a lot of anecdotal info about it, from people he got to know and integrated into his story of his and his wife’s first year in Delhi.
A very enjoyable read.
Not saying I would expect “ethnic” violence in the USA, but if any kind of separating were to become official or even semi-official, things could get ugly.
There is already copious ethnic violence in the US.
Black on Asian, Black on White, Hispanic on Black, Black on Hispanic, White on Muslim, etc.
Not of the sort that is described by Dalrymple.
WEll said, ladies. Unity is strength. Diversity is weakness. The “experiment” as Bill Clinton called it, was designed to fail and take down the Republic.
Mary: White on Muslim? You meant Muslim on White, right?
state like Texas has millions of progressive Democrats in Austin, Houston, and Dallas.
And more coming over the Reo Grande every day.
Rio Grande
Texas and Arizona are taking in a lot of refugees from California and other liberal bastions as well. Significant numbers of non-Wokers. Seems a toss-up to me with what limited info I have at my disposal.
Well, that won’t happen during the NFL season.
Yes, the White Man’s disease.
Learn to bowl, not alone but in League of like, right minded men. Women disallowed. A social athletic club whose real objectives are hidden under the code of bowling terms and scores.
Zing
Yes, we must cut away the gang green before they cut us away from all that we have and are. For the body politic is sick unto death.
And the American public shouts with glee as it embraces fraud, coercion, corruption and mass murder as legitimate ways of doing business with squeals of glee as hordes of mindless dotards are hoisted to positions of power/celebrity to be bowed down before, with child sacrifices performed in their honor, of course!

James, you are getting dangerous. Congratulations!

“They did overthrow the United States.
Kennedy caught a bullet. Trump caught a deep state pandemic followed by an election cheat.”

Agree. Western Civ. has been murdered, overthrown from within. Sorry, Trump was all over that Plandemic. Destroyed his own booming economy, ignored DR. Atlas and let Fauci run his murder-thon.
Amazed that there has been no attempt, that we are aware of, to silence Jim, as he represents a direct threat to the deep state. Like you, I do hope he is very careful and strives to always be in the company of witnesses and friends. They have proven there is nothing they will not do, including murder, as Epstein proves no matter the alleged coroners report.
He doesn’t have enough of a following to be a threat to the deep state. Let him get a couple of million followers though, and then he better watch his back.
No offense to our host, but the Evil Empire had bigger critics to silence. This blog is a small forum, one of many like it.
Correct, Crusher.
With a court system that will not even consider viewing clear evidence of election fraud, the culprits, the perpetrators and their accomplices know they can gen up another pandemic, scam up all the “elections” they want and subjugate the sheep who are afraid of running afoul of the speech police.
To add insult to injury, we’ve got internet talking heads trying to convince us that voting republican will solve everything. They should be put on the wall with their overlords.
Yeah, Washington DC will sink into irrelevance only when it loses its ability to tap the wealth of the people. Mao was right, power comes from the barrel of a gun. There is no peaceful way to effectively oppose DC. Even its courts are corrupt.
And they will only keep up around as long as they need us to perform the menial tasks that benefits them. At this point I am running out of reasons that they need us for anything. They can print up all the wealth they need to spend without selling anything or providing any services, the open borders will supply them with enough obedient serfs to mow their lawns and clean their toilets, and before long, AI and robots will be able to replace the assholes with Uzis and sunglasses that protect them from the serfs.
The robot thing appears to be getting serious in San Francisco.
The robots will soon be referred to as “officers” (just like Police dogs) and taking one down will be a major offence. The robot officer (will they get names?) will be given full honors and a Christian burial.
Jaros, a Christian burial? Not a chance – not the dogs who serve the Satanic Deep State.
A Luciferian burial, most likely complete with a gay orgy and child sacrifice.
But let’s not blame the dogs, they are victims too.
The WEF Masters of the Universe may succeed in subduing, replacing, and possibly even exterminating most of us……but then I expect them to be exterminated by a sentient AI and the robot terminators it will utilize to cleanse the planet of these remaining humans. Their transhumanist dream will not be realized. All they will have achieved is to replace carbon based life forms with silicon based ones.
Nice going there, WEF morons…
Agreed. The latest hopium is that the FTX revelations will bring down the Deep State. No way. The MSM won’t cover it, and the sheep don’t care. Things will continue until they collapse. Bring it on!
I completely agree with that. As it turns out, people have been so conditioned to shrug this stuff away after the initial surprise wears off.
Our side is so manifestly incompetent, poorly led, and devoid of the killer instinct needed to prevail, that I believe the only thing that could save us is pure chance. Like a global war that goes out of control and destroys the power bases of the elites…..or a genuine killer plague…..or a robot terminator apocalypse…..or a collapse of cheap fossil fuels…..etc. Of course, lots of us would perish under these scenarios as well, but at least the whole salad would get tossed and any survivors would have a clean slate to start over with again…..assuming enough are left and are strong enough and capable enough to reassert their personal freedom.
i still cling to some hope, that we may prevail before the whole world goes dark.

Until they bomb and antagonize Russia enough that the Bear says “fuck you” and we set off the real horrors to come.

Another excellent article, James, thank you.
It certainly feels to me as if things are coming to some sort of denouement. I can’t imagine that the powers that be can keep all those plates spinning without a few crashing to the floor.
I think people are finally figuring out that the entire covid19 thing was a scam. Well, people who are able to accept new information and/or that they’ve been duped.
The other day I commented about the price jump in groceries to the cashier, and she told me “I think they are using this covid thing as an excuse”.
You can’t fool all of the people all of the time.
Yep. $100 used to be an extraordinary week for me, extravagant even. Now it’s the norm, with highs reaching $150-$175. And it’s probably just getting started. Plus, the shortages are starting to appear again. Big run on eggs for two weeks now here locally. Did the whole area suddenly develop a craving for eggs?
Rarity increases value, Dis. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. They killed off so many hens in order to do this. Chicken covid or something.
Butter just jumped too like a Mexican jumping bean.
My husband just told me there’s a shortage of eggs here too, Disaffected. When I said ‘well, there would be since they’re killing off poultry after using fake PCR tests’, he said nothing.
I always get two Gressingham ducks for Christmas day, as we’re not that into turkey. You always have to order them early to be sure, but the butcher can’t get any ducks this year. Their free-range bronze turkeys start at £99 this Christmas for a small one. They had turkeys at £176 – who in the world pays that for a turkey? It’s a high-end butcher that we only use for the Christmas order and for their excellent sausages, but even so.
On The Duran yesterday, Alexander Mercouris mentioned the dirth in London of eggs, and turkeys for Xmas.
And other shortages in shops.
He didn’t speculate on where the turkey bottleneck is—farms don’t have eggs/turkeys; trucks don’t have fuel to get eggs/turkeys to market; or what. I hope the booze keeps flowing!!
No you definitely can’t. They sure fooled enough though to make the next few years extremely difficult climbing out of all this, if we are even able.
Climate lockdowns are next.
yournews.com/2022/12/06/2467541/report-climate-lockdowns-being-tested-in-uk-as-oxford-county/
“Climate Lockdowns Being Tested in UK as Oxford County Councillors to Introduce Trial in 2024”
Oxford again. They are implementing 15-minute zones as we speak. A commenter on UKC mentioned that Edinburgh is also working on 15-minute zones. How good is that?
Yuck. I might have to take myself into the country. Gotta find a small affordable place away from the cities.
At this point, the PTB must realize there is very little resistance in cities to any of the draconian things they are pulling.
Not really the same once you get a few minutes outside of one, though.
@ MaryQueen:
I am certainly not the first to say this, but, yes, get out of the city!
The reason I wound up living in Dogpatch-by-the-Lake, a tiny hamlet of 320 people, which was a failed “resort community,” was desperation, but it turned out to be one of the greatest blessing of my life.
One great advantage was that the house I bought was cheap, and I paid it off in three years. And the cost of living, overall, is much lower in the country. Another advantage was that we were pretty much living deep in the woods along a gravel road, and with access to a lake for swimming and fishing (if I had ever learned how). The kids grew up swimming in the lake all summer, and exploring the woods and fields.
But one source of happiness that I’ve realized only in retrospect, was that I knew a lot of AMAZING people, and, over the years, became a part of an authentic community. It takes about ten years for country people to really accept you–and it takes you about that long to get a handle on the many social dynamics going on. Not everybody was a great person. There were plenty of villains mixed in. But there were many people who were absolute legends in their own (often batshit crazy) way. Some of them still are, as not all of them are dead at present.
Washing up on the shore of the lake was a great blessing for me–and I think it will be for the people who bought my house, as well.
So, I guess what I’m saying is, “You too can have such an adventure!”
I’ve seen very few people that will accept that the Plandemic was a scam. After all, once you are on the train to Treblinka there is no point in talking about what happens when the train arrives.
Most Americans are now on that train and all of them secretly wish that maybe, just maybe, they’ll be chosen for a work detail instead of that quick trip to the hereafter.
Good point. If you’re already vaxxed to the max, there’s no point in acknowledging the worst at this point.
Indeed. They just want everyone else to join them. The idea of the Pure Bloods inheriting the Earth is unbearable to the vax demons.
In my own family, any admission that the vax was a scam would also be an admission that 1) they killed family members by encouraging them to get the vax, and 2) their own bodies are now occupied by an alien and dangerous thing that they cannot expel, and that – at the very least – is likely to significantly shorten their life spans.
They’re beginning to be afraid, but there’s no up side to admitting it.
Most Americans secretly wish that their friends, neighbors, co-workers, and relatives will be thrown into the furnace.
This time around, we’ll be fighting to get into the cattle cars.
Sometimes sadness for individuals arises in me, but then I remember that so many of them wanted us to die under bridges. And then arises the ferocious anger anger and pride – necessities of resistance at least for me.
Others may not need it. Real good Christians won’t. But they are blind to dangers that are obvious to my pagan gut sense.
Yes Mary, Jim has laid out the disturbing picture so very well as he always has, but from my own personal experience of two decades inside the beast, it will only get worse, and never better. Sound negative? Well, it is not so negative for there is NO enforcement anymore. For any problem to be solved, for any crime to be brought to justice, there must be a force in place with the power to correct the problem, or prosecute the crime and right now, in our decayed and corrupted society, the only force that wields and such power is the forces that are hell bent on destroying the system. “Build Back Better”, requires the destruction of what is in place, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that this is what is happening. It’s not like they didn’t warn us.
How right you are Walter. I saw an interview clip with Britain’s new PM, a rich little weasel with an even richer wife, who enthusiastically stated that “the police would have a freer hand in stopping protests by fringe groups who disturb private citizens.” And on the news a few nights ago I saw the city council in San Francisco approved armed robots to be used “when necessary”. Google to take a look at these things—they look like small machine guns to me.
I guess those armed robots won’t face the moral dilemma of shooting their own citizens, will they?
No chance a machine will put down the gun and walk away, show restraint or assist the wounded.
Ah but SW, it WILL give those basement dwelling hackers a great opportunity to hack the robots and have the infernal machines turn their weapons on the Fat Men. That could never happen with the assholes with the paychecks and pensions.
They won’t turn them on TPTB.
They’ll turn them on uppity women who refuse to accede to male fetishes and men in MAGA hats.
That’s who they go after now.
He’s not British. Why would he have any concern for the real British – except to hate them and try to replace them as quickly as possible?
The Great Replacement was a precursor to the Great Reset. One bombards before one sends in the tanks and the infantry.
In any case, the Indians have no tradition of civil rights. People gleefully cast aside our glorious tradition and then act surprised by what they get. Their way is the human norm after all. We were the exception, the exceptional ones.
I would financially support any candidate(s) with the cojones to stand up and say “Build Back Better and the Great Reset are nothing but thinly veiled communism. It is imperative our next election is vote in-person, paper ballots that are tabulated and results announced same election day. If it turns out the majority of US citizens are in favor of communism, then so be it but there is a better way.”
The problem is even getting laws passed to accomplish this. If some sanity and honesty is reinstated at all it will have to be on a state level. That’s the big reason the federal government wanted to take control of the election system which is mandated in the Constitution as a right of individual states.
Sorry, but laws are just words on paper unless someone is willing to enforce them and even toilet paper has more value in the long run. Besides, those in power simply choose to ignore them anyway.
The (very brief) Age of Ballots has ended.
The (somewhat hazardous) Age of Bullets has returned.
They are actually thinly veiled feudalism.
The lords own everything, you get a place to live as long as you bow down to your masters, and you have no civil rights.
Oh, and your children belong to the lords also. The Right of the First Night writ large.
Geez. I think of all the fairy tales and old myths I read as a kid, and it was totally normal for the king to demand someone bring their child to court to be put in service.
Yep. That’s pretty much the direction this is going.
Here, at the local level, if someone steals property, they will face arrest and judgement. Things like DUI don’t go unpunished, but granting a lucrative contract for Covid-19 testing to your son with no other bids happens without a ripple. At the city/county level granting building permits to some and not others is just minor misbehavior.
Lyndy,
Suppose…just suppose that your state determines that an inmate sent to jail must be inoculated for the safety of the other inmates…any offense, no matter how benign. DUI? Marital dispute? Would you submit?
If force is required, force will be applied.
…for the good of the inmate population.
Maybe inoculation might be required to pay your property taxes or receive a permit of one sort or another.
But…but this can’t happen…this is ‘Murica, dammit!
I re-read my comment and was surprised how optimistic it sounds. I should have added that yeah, a lot of the people are gonna wake up, the PTB are going to break a few plates, but we are in no way through this nightmare. I’m with you, I am actually not as optimistic as James.
I also think though, that since life goes in waves, after a massive upheaval and maybe a die-off of a few million or billion, people will somehow survive and improve. But I doubt it will be in my lifetime. In fact, I’m sure of it. I think we’re only at the beginning of a total and utter shit show. The powers that be are just getting warmed up.
@MaryQueen, We must gather our bits of reasonably justified optimism where we can. I’m usually about on a level with JHK, being an optimist by nature.
Probably most of you read Martin Armstrong, whose computer, Socrates, seems to predict events pretty accurately. The rationale behind it is that everything is cyclical, and the length of these cycles can be predicted. I’m comforted by that when I’m feeling hopeless. I’m old enough to accept that it’s unlikely to get better in my lifetime. I think of those lonely, remote monks who kept Western civilization alive, and of Tolkien’s Last Homely House. There’s something each of us can do, however small.
Well, plenty of people have lived during awful down-cycles of history. I guess that’s what our fate is.
I’m actually comforted by the fact this is the human condition and has repeated for hundreds of thousands of years. Why should now be any different? It is what it is.
We are all the Antrobuses!

Walter B, is there any chance that the justification for “NO enforcement” is that the system is bankrupt? Do your relatives have any thoughts in this regard?
Absolutely bankrupt, we are just waiting for the official notification. Do you recall how many states like Illinois, New Jersey and a few others were just about bankrupt? What ever happened to that, do you wonder? Well, I found out why not in 2020 when I was mayor of my township and I was notified by email from the NJ Department of the Treasury that they had established an entity called the NJ Infrastructure Bank out of nowhere, and what did it do? Why it handed out billions of dollars all around the stat that is got “printed up out of thin air” as it were from the Federal Reserve.
Problem is that the rest of the world knows this as well and it has eliminated to value of the USD. They all knew this was the case decades ago but it is taking time form them all to set up an alternate system to jump to (BRICS) and to divest themselves of the USD slowly so they don’t lose a ton of their investments in UDSs.
Today, with our military weakened and degraded from it’s hiring practices, sold out leadership (call China first right Milley), and poor health from the jabs, I would bet that the next years’ time will see the bankruptcy fully on stage and acknowledged it’s not like they are doing anything to stop it, are they?
I have in mind that Trump was not going to bail them out on his watch, and this essentially generated a vote for Biden, because the population that needed the bailout, knew Biden would (he might have even promoted it).
My thoughts are that the system is at the point of failure, and the best that can be done is to manage the downturn. It is essentially a “use it, or lose it” situation, and this is the justification for the reckless spending. I believe that the strength in the DXY from 2021 to near the end of October was a result of money flow, where the smart money wanted to escape more vulnerable currencies (just consider the problem, and solution, with the REPO window). This creates an impossible situation for the Fed, especially in light of “The Great Reset” where the Biden administration has to consider the consequences of their actions on their partner (G-7) nations. Could this be why the US is pumping all that money into Ukraine (they need to lower the value of the US$, and get money into foreign hands (look at EUR/USD) to service their obligations and stabilize their situation)?
It is a no lose situation for Biden and his administration (try and manage the issues to facilitate “The Great Reset”, and do it in such a manner that destroys the existing format for life in the event that they fail in their primary mission).
Nonsense by the likes of Milley and Mayorkas, I keep thinking that they have potentially set US up for colossal failure, and then re-realize that it is intentional!
Your thoughts are that that the US$ should crash any day. In the past (prior to the Chinese CBDC) MA promoted the idea that the US$ was the only viable currency to accommodate the money flow (there is also the factor that many foreign loans require US$ payments, and destroyed foreign currencies creates even more US$ demand). So, keep an open mind in this regard (and keep an eye on the DXY).
Re: NJ Infrastructure Bank
This entity has been operating since 1987, but changed their name in 2018.
njib.gov/nj/Annual+Reports.2
The New Jersey Infrastructure Bank is an independent State Financing Authority responsible for providing and administering low-interest rate loans to qualified municipalities, counties, regional authorities and water purveyors in New Jersey for the purpose of financing local transportation and water quality related infrastructure projects. The I-Bank’s mission is to finance projects that enhance ground and surface water resources, ensure the safety of drinking water supplies, protect public health,
reduce roadway congestion, improve highway safety and contribute to New Jersey’s role as a critical channel for commerce.
I think it was a liquidity crisis, and the FED and States needed to get money into the system any way they could.
‘ Well, people who are able to accept new information and/or that they’ve been duped.”
Serious concerns this might not be big in the numbers department.
However, the fallout from the bioweapon jab events might push it over the top.
Yeah I’m with you: We have numbers but not HUGE numbers in that regard. It’s really wait and see at this point. I have seen that during the past 2.5 years, there is no teaching most people.
Not only that, but the elites vastly overestimate their ability to control everyone and everything. This delusion has been the source of most mischief throughout all of human history. Hubris will be their undoing. Like Hitler or Stalin, they think increasingly ruthlessness and ever tighter totalitarian control will carry the day. It won’t. If that worked, Stalinists would still run the Soviet Union and Germans would still be under the thumb of a Nazi fuhrer.
The truth is that total control will always elude their grasp. The human race is like a big blob of mercury…..the more you try to squeeze that toxic blob, the faster it squishes between every finger while poisoning you in the process.
The WEF assholes will ultimately fail, but like all previous tyrants who wanted to rule the world in perpetuity they will harm many people before they go down and they will leave one hell of a mess in their wake.
Agreed.
Very articulately expressed.
Very well said Wiz, great point. I’m anxious to get the party started – the sooner the better. Payback is a big-time bitch.
Yes, this process needs to speed up. I’d like to get it over with before I get too old to participate.
Hear! Hear!
absolutely wrong about the Germans. Haven’t you ever noticed how they greeted Hitler where ever he went.
With joy.
It wasn’t faked. They knew he had saved them from a fate worse than death.
It wasn’t the German people but the Jewish controlled empires that defeated Hitler, and took out revenge on the German people.
Same people doing it now.
Who is absolutely wrong about the Germans?
I don’t see what comment you are replying to.
I wonder if the Twitter release will have any effect on the Georgia Senate race??? My Guess is, no. Because too few people take this sort of stuff as serious.
It is being studiously ignored by the big media and downplayed by the next layer.
Except a big celebrity scandal in the next day or so, to divert people’s attention.
“Squirrel!”
Expect a big celebrity scandal, that is.
And right on cue, the msm tells us that Trump wants to destroy the Constitution.
Also, drink bleach!
Democrats will cheat mercilessly. But McConnell and his RINO friends might try to put Walker over the top simply to deny the Dems a true majority, which would give Senate committee chairs a much freer hand. A 50/50 Senate will remain a largely “do-nothing” Senate as committee memberships will remain split evenly between Dems and Republicans, which makes McConnell still marginally relevant over there. If Warnock wins and takes the Dems to 51 senators, then McConnell becomes essentially powerless. Since all he cares about is himself, that will force his hand.
I am afraid that we are all going to learn that the “melting pot” is a lie, at every level of human organization.
Our melting pot is now a chamber pot.
Race realism. Culture? Sure it’s culture but it’s genetics first. No? Name a viable Black country.
Wakanda.
See? Easy peasy. In fact, I just got confirmation of this at the movies this past weekend when I saw the new Black Panther flick.
So THERE, you racist! FACTS!
Of course. How could I forget Wakanda. The exception that proves the rule.
Someone could make a lot of money offering vacation plans to Wakanda. Why not a White man?
Dominican Republic and of course Libya under Khadafi.
Dominican Republic? They didn’t slaughter all their Whites like Haiti. Although there are few or none left pe se, lighter skinned people dominate in the upper class. White genes!
Libya isn’t Black, though there is obviously a significant Black mixture into the North African Caucasian population.
Fail.
Rhodesia? Err….. wait…
Sure smells the same.
Good one.
Good one
In an act worthy of this clown show, people who claim Herschel Walker is “unqualified” to be a Senator have nothing but praise for Fetterman. The fact that Mr F can’t think straight or speak coherently is an inspiration to millions of Americans similarly limited. More importantly, he’s a guaranteed vote for the agenda of destruction.
Where is the Rednut Liberal? This was one of his favorite topics.
Walking lobotomy Fetterman was just a “regular guy,” while Walker was low IQ he claimed.
Rednut lunatic says he is bowing out and had a massive meltdown yesterday late in the posting cycle.
Apparently, the ass pummeling he got was too much for his little ego.
We wished him a good life and hoped he got a clue from Santa this year.
Just saw that.
Impeccable timing, right as Elon releases the Twatter files, and RP calls Fauci a murderer who will go to jail.
LOL.
No wonder his hair was on fire all his lies are coming back and he would have to answer for them if he stuck around.
After calling everyone names and saying they were all made up conspiracy nonsense.
I am running out of conspiracy facts to put forward as theory.
Anyone know any good ones left to be proven?
I will miss him.
He was so deep in the BlueAnon that I doubt I will ever come across someone so utterly removed from reality.
Truly a sight to be hold. Many a chuckle was delivered.
@benr, proven or accepted to be proven?
There’s a long way between those two.
My best example has been absolutely proven to my satisfaction, many times over, but it is illegal to mention it where I live.
Ron Pearlman?
It’s not either/or. Try to get your reactivity under control. Fetterman is an impaired Oaf and Herschel is a natural dope.
Sometimes, it’s neither/nor.
They don’t like Herschel due to his negro dialect. I thought it was supposed to be a bad thing to declare a preference for no negro dialect.
I do have to admit he needs to take some speech classes.
However there are plenty of terrible speakers on the Democrat side even when Joe had some of his marbles, he was not very good at it.
Then there is the imbecile who quipped he was afraid Guam would tip over if to many people were allowed on it.
Maxine Waters is as vile and stupid as they come.
Dan Bongino was speaking to Democrat hypocrisy and how they simply don’t care what we the unwashed think or hear anymore.
Did they ever care, benr?
I know as recently as Obama managed details by poll numbers.
I did not say governed for a reason.
Think Maxine. 🙂
“Then there is the imbecile who quipped he was afraid Guam would tip over if too many people were allowed on it.”
Ya know, I always wondered if this was his lame attempt at a joke. Like he was saying, “Wow, how much offensive military shit are we gonna dump on this island?”
As one whose satire often flies over-the-head (around-the-head, under-the-head, whatever…) of his audience, I can see how he could fuck up that important observation.
He could be a total dumbfuck too. That seems to be the standard.
He is a total dumbfuck according to my sister. He used to be her Congressman.
Ah, right, like Senator (?) Ted Stevens, who said “The internet is, in fact, a series of tubes”…and something about getting them jammed up if you put too much “stuff” in them!
washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/post/the-internet-is-in-fact-a-series-of-tubes/2011/09/20/gIQALZwfiK_blog.html
I currently reside in Georgia and will cast my vote for Hershel in tomorrow’s runoff not because of his superior….anything but because he’s not yet proven to be a rubber stamp of “Joe Biden.” Warnock is a slumlord and a communist, Hershel is an inarticulate athlete. Neither of them is capable of formulating policy, instead playing the role of house servants. The campaign advertisements in Georgia are nothing but ex-wives and girlfriends saying how bad they are. I declined early voting because that tips the hand and is a tell of how many votes will need to be genned up to defeat. If the voting machines are connected to the internet, in violation of law, I will share evidence of such but it won’t do any good. I will just be labeled an election denier. Such is the state of “democracy” in our representative republic…..
In Arizona that strategy didn’t work.
They just delayed the “results” until they figured out how many votes they needed to gin up.
It would have worked in the old days, before 2020, when it was considered traditional to announce the vote totals on the night of the election.
“I’m gonna vote for the guy that sucks to keep the guy that reallysucks from getting the job.”
Why vote for someone you don’t want to occupy that position?
To keep the fucking Democrat from winning, obviously. Too many of them in office as it is, without handing a scumbag like Warnock a full six-year term by not voting against him.
That said, apparently Herschel has campaigned like an Establishment Republican, i.e., sticking to suburbia and white rural areas while avoiding Atlanta and the Black Belt like the plague. That, by itself, could cost him the election. Plus, Soetoro is running around making his typical snide comments about anyone to the right of Chairman Mao. That’ll get the urban blacks, LGBTQIA+?÷×#@ set and college kids all revved up to vote for Warnock.
What a fucking embarrassment. Oh well, at least the Dawgs may repeat as national college football champions.
“Why vote for someone you don’t want to occupy that position?”
Better to fill it poorly than horribly.
Yeah, because apart from the way he talks, he’s a fucking genius, right?
How many votes did Fetterman get before and after the debate with Oz?
I think the Republicans, and Oz himself, shot themselves in the foot over the abortion debate. Own goal.
The shortsightedness of those in the West, stood up against a clear-eyed, long-distance view of coming decades by our erstwhile enemies, is truly dismaying. The PRC has no reason to institute an old-fashioned military invasion of Taiwan; it is prepared to take several decades to accomplish “integration”. Ditto for southeast Asia and Australia – not to mention Canada. Slow but sure. Immigration, economic integration and takeovers will legally and politely accomplish what they foresee.
The Russian Federation also obviously has time on its side, as Europe goes into deep freeze (even without the theorized change in the “… major elements of today’s ocean system … a conveyor-like circulation that delivers an enormous amount of tropical heat to the northern Atlantic. If that happens then a deeper freeze will endure.)
Meanwhile, Washington and Wall Street are talking next week. It’s the typical short-sighted corporate timespan.
There seems to really be no will to take a long look. Maybe no courage.
Well, everything the DC junta does works toward the real goal of degrading the US in preparation for surrendering it to China.
They’re not destroying US domestic petroleum production.
They’re conserving those precious resources for Chairman Xi’s eventual control.
Yes, I say what Rasputin said of the Balkans: It’s not worth the life of one Russian soldier.
East Asians create powerful centralized states with little personal freedom or rights. The “Capitalists” do this and the “Communists” (funded by the Capitalists) did the same thing. Now the “Communists” are into Capitalism too. Are they still Communists? Pretty silly since it’s one system. What they are still is Chinese.
It’s their foolish struggle. Not worthy the life of one American. Vietnam and Korea? Utter madness. But this would be worse since China is a nuclear power.
‘There seems to really be no will to take a long look’
It’s been this way for so long it is a way of life. I’ve watched this here for decades. Thinking is confined to quarterly reports. Long range thinkers/prognosticators look forward 2 or 3 quarters.
Is instant gratification in the mix? Kicking the can down the road certainly is.
The road appears to be culminating in a dead end at the edge of a cliff.
“GLOBAL CITIES – This is a snapshot of the dystopian future planned for you, by councils & cities all signed up to the great Net Zero con, being pulled by elites.
what you will eat, how many items of clothes you are allowed to buy a year.
All decided for you, by them!”

These slides for the C40 city initiative help put together the long term plan that the WEF and co. have started rolling out over the past few years.
No meat or dairy for the plebes.
No private vehicles for the plebes.
3 items of clothing per year for the plebes.
“15-minute cities” that geofence the plebes into a district using your digital ID.
A CBDC that can be shut off at the touch of a button and is not savable.
This is what the plan is. Unless we stop it.
Nothing else matters.
I still can’t imagine how they pull this off with the crappy electrical grid and iffy & unreliable tech we have.
Incrementalism. Like they have been doing. It isn’t going to happen overnight.
They will have to gird all of the means of electricity so no one can destroy them, and they will have to chip us because otherwise we can ditch our phones, etc.
Yes it’s going to have to be incremental. And yes, that does seem to work.
I’ve attended hundreds of these kinds of “conferences” as the technician that makes events like those happen. I’ve seen it all.
Think of it as a giant Ted Talk where people with zero connection to the real world huff each other’s farts. Because these people have never in their lives done any real work or produced anything of value, they have no idea that the guy or gal selling a Hyperloop, windfarm, net-zero, edible clothing, A.I., fusion power, etc, is full of BS. They have no tools in their toolbox and just believe whatever is being shown to them and it is always some very nice CGI 3d Animation which, I should mention, my associates produced for the talk.
I did events where self-driving cars were “100% guaranteed” to happen by 2018 which is why Uber and Lyft were willing to just burn through investor capital to get market share with the final goal of having zero human drivers as Uber and Lyft were going to own the fleets of cars. It is why zero ownership is still being pushed for the mega-cities. Not because of some environmental plan but because Uber and Lyft gave handjobs to lots of politicians so as to be positioned to take advantage of the driverless technology that they were PROMISED would already be here.
As I said, because the decision makers have zero real world experience with cars, manufacturing, A.I., electrical generation, etc, they have no means to really understand whether or not the conference they are attending (at a 5 star resort) is real or make-believe. But, the graphics are great and it shows a beautiful world where they, and only they, have complete control of how people move about and where they can go. They love it. It is an easy sale and so they will have another “conference” where they tell city government to plan for the elimination of private ownership of cars.
Wonderful comment.
Yes, the graphics are so fabulous. All they have is the fantasy.
“The graphics are real”. Yes, just as one can photograph a rainbow but you can’t get close to it to find the pot of gold. It’s optical only!
And one can photograph a mirage too. But no water will be found, at least not nearby.
Thanks for the testimony. Ironically, it gives me hope.
You have a lot of hubris, just as they do. But they have something you do not: Hundreds of thousands of their orcs working and running national governments, global corporations, and banks.
Here in Germany, they very nearly got a nationwide “vaccine mandate” pushed though. People like myself were barred from entering most stores, and there were calls to deny us hospital care.
What I still find is that many Americans who spend most of their time in America (or have never even left its shores) have no idea how things were and even still are in Europe and other parts of the world. Have you looked at what is happening in China right now? The model for the rest of the world?
If you think these psychopaths can’t pull off centralized world government, digital IDs, CBDCs, etc. — you are completely removed from reality.
We are on the precipice. All that stops the worst aspects from coming are everyday people working together.
Having lived and worked in Germany I can tell you that you guys will be the first to go. You’ll do ANYTHING that someone in a position of authority tells you to do.
That said, you miss my point entirely. They can most certainly pull off digital ID, CBDC’s, social credit, etc. But, just as your Green Energy fantasies failed you and now you will freeze (if the Russians don’t get you first), these plans are doomed to have unintended consequences that will doom them to failure.
Enjoy your hyperinflation and enjoy watching all of your factories relocate over here.
You appear not to know much about Germany overall. The protests here have been going non-stop for about two years — every Monday in my town.
The elections that put the Rot-Grün Ampel in power were fixed, as is the judiciary. Not that things are much different in the US. Just that Americans have yet to feel the worst of the puppets running the show for WEF and co.
I am American, but have lived in Germany for quite some time.
Responding to NickelthroweR @2:42 PM
“(if the Russians don’t get you first)”
The Russians already ‘have’ them thanks to the Owners in the U.S.-UK.
They will likely have to rescue Europe from its fallacious follies if they don’t want further broken and restive states on their borders. The U.S.-UK are already actively jumping ship (the husk.)
The thing is they never wanted them at all beyond a healthy commercial relationship and consequent cross cultural ties.
And everything was going swimmingly for both nations, Germany and Russia as partners.
Nickel and Night Owl,
Needless to say, I am very concerned about what is going to go down in Germany, politically and purely heat- and food-wise.
I got a response from my acquaintance in Erfurt, whom I asked very “carefully” how she felt about current developments in Germany.
I have had a response from her—she is just very accepting of everything and makes no criticisms. Viz. (no umlauts):
“Du musst dir keine Sorgen um uns hier machen. Uns geht es gut – naturlich sind die Preise sehr gestiegen – wie uberall – aber wir kennen ja die Grunde und ja, der Krieg muss bald aufhoren. Ich hoffe sehr, dass dieses Problem bald gelost werden kann – auf das “Wie” hab ich aber auch keine Antwort.
Trotzdem denke ich , dass die schwierige Situation irgendwie gelost werden kann.
Ich hab da vielleicht zu viel Vertrauen in die Regierung, die versucht, die Belastungen auf Burger und Unternehmen zu reduzieren. Ich bin gespannt, weiss aber auch, dass es nicht einfach ist und nicht alles sofort gelost werden kann. Im Gegenteil, es wird lange dauern und zu deutlichen Einschrankungen fuhren, aber jeder muss seinen Beitrag leisten und der hohe Lebensstandard in Deutschland wird auch so nicht weiter wachsen konnen.
Trotzdem mussen wir solidarisch mit den Ukrainern sein – wir kennen ja Fluchtwellen – auch von Deutschen aus der Vergangenheit. Es sind jetzt wohl schon ca 1 Million Ukrainer nach Deutschland geflohen, die untergebracht werden mussen, Schulen und Kindergarten mussen die gefluchteten Kinder aufnehmen und es werden noch mehr kommen. Das fuhrt zu Problemen, auch Spannungen, weil es nicht genugend Wohnraum gibt.
Hier in Thuringen sind wir schon an der Grenze der Kapazitaten – es werden Turnhallen fur den Schulsport geschlossen und als Unterkunfte genutzt. Du kannst dir sicher vorstellen, dass allein diese Tatsache wenig Versta¤ndnis
bei den Betroffenen findet, aber letztendlich mussen wir das akzeptieren und irgendwie Losungen finden. Wir werden sehen, wie sich die Lage weiter entwickelt.”
she is a retired schoolteacher, so of course she is concerned with children.
Then she brings in a somewhat different perspective, as an Ossi:
“Und trotz aller Probleme mussen wir optimistisch bleiben – es gab schon so viele Krisen, die wir uberwunden haben. ich denke da vor allem an die 90iger Jahre, als es hier im Osten zu grossen Veranderungen kam und viele Leute arbeitslos wurden und keine Hoffnung hatten. Dieses Problem ist heute fast vergessen – es gibt tatsachlich so viele Jobs, dass jeder Bewerber genugend Moglichkeiten hat. Und unser Energieproblem ist moglicherweise eine Chance, fruher und schneller regenerative Quellen zu erschliessen. Ich glaube daher nicht an einen Blackout oder ähnliches, was sich vielleicht einige sogar gewunscht hatten, um die Preise noch mehr in die Hohe zu treiben.
Aber wir konnen leider nicht zu weit in die Zukunft sehen… bloss hinterher meckern, dass Vieles falsch gemacht wurde, ist mir zu einfach.”
So, No worries. Hunker down . . . No criticism of the leadership.
God, you reminded me of how much I hated Turd Talks. All those self-righteous idiots sashaying around a stage, telling us how to live our lives…
I am from the Netherlands originally and most of my family is still there. Mark Rutte, the PM of the country, has passed a WEF bill through parliament seizing 3,000 Dutch farms. They will kill the livestock. They want to build more migrant centers. The Netherlands is the second largest producer of agricultural products in Europe and that will cease now. The seizure of the 3,000 farms has begun, according to the news. The government is using highway equipment to overturn tractors with the farmers still in them. German farmers were recently told they could not use most fertilizers to produce food. It will get here as well. Right now the farmers are fighting. Many Germans have joined them. Last year when the protests were going on Italians and Poles joined the protests as well. It is getting very ugly over there.
Linda:
Horrifying.
But thanks for the bulletin
What are your friends and family in the NL saying about this?
Who would ever have thought that state violence would be used against . .. farmers?
Stellar comment, @NickelthroweR
Optimism is good, but the poster is quite ignorant on just how far things have come.
I think things have gone very far, Night Owl, but I am seeing now that they may be stuck – at least for awhile – this is why it’s so important to resist now.
I see both of your points of view.
It is more the attitude. The idea that the plans outlined cannot be successful. They most certainly can.
The fact that we had a “papers please” society in many parts of the world for nearly two years (and which has not been snuffed out entirely); a compliant media; and the construction of camps to hold people in violation of pseudo-laws for a fantasy pandemic, the existence of which was never formally debated by scientists and medical professionals in any proper ´public forum, shows that the proverbial canary in the coal mine has long since died.
When one stops to look where we are, it is not only terrifying, but it is clear the old way of life is truly never coming back. Anything is possible now.
I think the most terrifying thing is how accepted totalitarianism is.
We’re emulating China.
Thanks for that, Nickelthrower. Gives one such as myself much more insight into recent history.
Very interesting, and makes a lot of sense to me.
This sort of reminds me of all those grandiose models of “Germania” that Hitler had Speer prepare to show what Berlin was going to look like 25 or so years after Der Furhrer was done conquering Europe and North Africa. I’m sure old Adolph stood over the thing jacking off on it at night when he was bored and in want if some stimulation. Not much different that what the WEF assholes do at these conferences – which are actually just junkets for them to enjoy.
So, none of this: CBDC; implanted surveillance/control chips; UBI for the cooperative; lack of employment, UBI, housing for the uncooperative; travel restrictions; rationing; bug-eating – is ever going to happen because it is all a wet dream of wannabe technocrats with no real world experience or power – but possessing real cool PowerPoint presentations.
Whew! That’s a relief!
It’s morning in the world – again! Happy motoring everyone!
My favorite dystopian hellscape is the Saudi, “Line,” that is 170 kilometers long, 200 meters wide, and 500 meters tall, all run on green energy.
Based on the hype around this, it’s clear that multiple generations of people have been failing basic physics around the globe.
Yeah, that thing was nuts.
Solar could be used to torture and execute people. Get a magnifying glass and focus the light on your hand. Ouch! Like that but bigger.
Who first? Deniers of the Green. Yes, Greta will be one of the Judges.
Greta can shit in her hat, then slam it down on top of her head, open side down.
Uncle Bob, Greta was very upset when she read your post. Since she is not registered on this site, “I vill not commune mit efil white people”, she called me (I’ve convinced her that I am a rare and exotic mix of Native American, Islamic black, and space alien) and asked me to convey her thoughts:
“Uff course I poop in mein hat! It keeps mein head varm and allow me to recykle efil carbon. It also keep mein many male (and female!) admirers at a distance so I can get mein ferry importunt verk done.”
Bad uncle!
They have started construction…though how far it will get is another question…

Another boondoggle driven by ego and grandiose thinking. Dubai is a black hole that sucks in money and shits it away into eternity in a godforsaken desert.
When the oil money runs out it will be buried by sand and camel turds again.
I’ve been there and seen it all up close. An amazing sight and a colossal waste of capital and energy.
I don’t think they can pull it off with the current infrastructure.
Relax Night Owl. It’s never going to happen.
Their attempts to do this happen in Europe first and they will fail because there’s no ability to police their policies to the degree they proclaim.
Europe barely can stay warm this winter but they’re going to have enough energy and money to build servers to give each citizen CBDC and then track them?
And if they spend fiat with someone who accepts it then what? Prison?
Please explain how this movie goes down.
And stop calling them “elites” for godsakes.
Who can buy meat and eggs? Those with CBDC. Government benefits sans CBDC? No.
Now do you understand? As an Oregonian I assume you would.
Jarek…..don’t you think this will drive many to raise their own livestock and keep chickens for eggs? The quickest escape from the money driven economy is a return to subsistence farming.
As an Oregonian I would’ve thought you’d be cleverer.
We don’t buy our meat at stores and we have chickens for our eggs.
So logically you want to join Idaho, right? But as a woman, logic isn’t your forte and your probably don’t.
A number of things already happened, and people like you said they never could.
You are removed from reality.
Central Bank Digital Currencies will be the final rabbit pulled out of the hat and, trust me, it will be unleashed whether twitter is owned by Musk or Clinton.
The stage has been set for CBDC’s, vaccine passports, and the Social Credit system and they will most certainly be all tied together. No vaxx then your currency will be turned off.
Instead of wishing that these lights be “turned off”, I’d suggest that you prepare for it. I warned my family that lives in N. Italy to prepare but they thought the good times would last forever. My aunt’s last electric bill was more than her yearly pension.
Nobody ran against any of this.
Being against “high energy bills” is not the same thing.
You’re exactly right Nickel – CBDC will be used as ultimate control by freezing assets – beta tested on the Canadian truckers – worked like a charm. Just for the record, they can cut mine off whenever they want. I will eat dirt before I capitulate to these fuckers.
Right there with you. We can exchange recipes for mud pies.
did you learn of the tiktok star dead of a ‘stress heart attack’?
he was fit and maybe 21 years young. a Sikh in Canada I guess.
she not he
Well the spikes do stress the heart…..
Ron-
I think enterprising types will set up a pretty healthy black market system before we are forced to dig for grubs.
TCL – I agree, but think we’ll have to forage a little before values are assigned to certain objects as a means of barter.
For instance, not how much, but what – is a hammer worth? A fishing rod (think hook – otherwise the rod is relatively useless)? A can of beans? A BIC disposable lighter? Q-tip?
Oh, when the time comes, I will kill for a Q-tip. After a shower, are you kidding me? Problem is, we may be down to showering once a week – whether we need to or not.
How did man survive before the Q-tip? They were invented in the ’20’s by a Polish American immigrant Leo Gerstenzang. Originally called “Baby Gays”. And the world owes the man a great debt.
SEF – a great debt indeed! Thanks for the history lesson, much appreciated. Have a younger brother who is a MD and advises that we should never put anything in our ears smaller than our elbow. For heaven’s sake, after a shower and a minute with a Q-tip, I’m ready for a cigarette.
Ron Anslemo, “Mary is a genius”.
Some kind of Italian thing?
From Q tips to the Gom-Jabbar. The cotton has come off.
From Baby Gays to Balenciaga, which translates as Baal is king. The parent company sell baby mannequin objects d’art. Or are the sex toys?
I think the whole idea of barter is that it establishes value to a particular person in a particular situation.
“My kingdom for a horse.”
Janos – Sicilian actually – you’ll love this one – “North Africans who could swim”, but yeah, just having a little fun.
The only way out of all this is by developing alternative systems and being ready to defend them. Maybe the CBDC move will be the spur we need to develop our own off-grid, under the radar system of exchange.
I feel the same. Fuck em. I will live the life of a mountain man before submitting to such nonsense. They can all go straight up to Hell.
the jab is designed to kill.
Morning Jim – excellent as always. Thanks as always. Twitter has clearly been an unabashed, unapologetic criminal enterprise in squelching free speech – no question about it.
Illegal election interference will be the intended, hopefully limited focus – the red herring that lets them whistle past the graveyard on Covid as people continue to die – every day. Genocide proceeds apace.
The FTX comedy of destruction is a godsend to The Powers, sucking outrage and media attention away from more existential threats to life and liberty.
Exactly Shark – another shiny object.
Yet still the Q tards are out there saying “This is the BIG one!”
In their defense, it IS the biggest story of the year.
However, I have no illusions that anything will be done about it.
I think the crash of FTX was a way to write off billions of dollars, maybe trillions.
And it is getting no attention. SBF showed up for the NY Times event, without shame, and got applause from the audience.
His crimes will go unpunished.
Elon “Geraldo” Musk didn’t actually show us the contents of the vault.
I was able to hear from that Taibbi character about stuff he says he saw, but I did not see anything much myself.
Elon is friends with Jack; Jack is a liar. Elon covered up for his friend.
But we pretend to believe it you see. Blame the swarthies. This is how the game is played. Then Jack owes us. We have something on him and Elon for covering it up.
Three or more birds with one stone.
The sinking of the Titanic has long been the obvious metaphor for our ship of state, but now the declining Roman Empire seems to have eclipsed it as the better fit for today’s America.
In place of Emperor Caligula, who is said to have put his favorite horse in the Roman Senate, the good citizens of Pennsylvania have seen fit to elect John Fetterman to ours. Perhaps we should start addressing senator Fetterman as Incitatus.
I made that joke when “Joe Biden” was elected.
This happened back in August.
BTW, the Balenciaga story keeps getting filthier. Are there degrees of gross filth? Evidently so.
Demna Gvasalia Becomes UNITED24 Ambassador, Releases Balenciaga Charity T-Shirt

It’s all just one big scam.
We may as well be living in the Matrix.
No we are living in the Matrix. My favorite (as in only) transgender blogger Blaire White threw her two thousand dollar pink Balenciaga sweater into the fire. She’s reevaluating her attraction to brands in general.
I was shocked. Two thousand dollars for a sweater? I had no idea she had that kind of money. Sad if she really doesn’t. Anyway, a grand gesture. As she said, people like her help to prop them by wearing these tribal fetishes or power objects.
Blaire is a ferocious opponent of the woke mob and the grooming of kids – and has been for years. Deeply hated by them. A conservative “girl” who fled Hollywood for Texas and now owns pink guns, etc. But obviously still a work in progress – like us all.
Blaire is a man LARPing as a woman.
I don’t care who’s side he’s on, he’s a dude. A bloke. A guy.
When you call a man “she” you are playing the trans agenda game and acquiescing to their delusions.
But I already knew you are on board with it, and now I’ve been proven correct.
Whatever, Mary Queen. I understand your position and sympathise with it, but then I saw this yesterday. Please, watch it all, bore you give me your view:
youtube.com/watch?v=ul9yXgrEt5s&t=348s
(before!)
No child is born in the wrong body. That is impossible.
Are you seriously claiming that sometimes the wrong “soul” is placed into a fetus?
“Transgender children” are like vegan cats. Someone else has made that decision.
It used to be the parents, but now it much more commonly the schools and the peer groups.
Children are not able to consent to medical procedures before age 18 for a reason, their brains are not capable of understanding informed consent. (Although we now see that even adult brains can be washed into making stupid decisions).
“Needed medical care”, meaning mutilation and sterilization, is being pushed by the Establishment, full bore. Everyone needs to stand against it to protect the children.
You are swayed by slick propaganda put out by sick people.
So noted.
The first 2 seconds I watched was a lie – it didn’t queue up at the beginning, but I heard “Trans kids are prevented from playing sports.”
No, they aren’t. Already a lie. But it is NPR after all. In fact, just to cater to the trans, the Hologram Joe administration is in the process of gutting Title IX protections for women and girls.
Do you actually believe that those of us who are onto the trans scam (there is no such thing as trans) haven’t heard all of this utter bullshit before? NPR, really?
As Paula says, no kids are born in the wrong body and obviously someone has made that decision (or drilled in that delusion) for the child. Note there were no ‘trans children’ before 2010 or so… maybe even 2015. But suddenly, Transhausen by Proxy parentage is all the rage. They actually get social credit for maiming their kids.
So just suddenly there are millions of them, and big pharma is making out like a bandit on drugs and operations to maim kids, removing healthy body parts. Yeah, no.
And men cannot become women, and when people refer to men as “she” I will continue to correct them.
Paula D – did you watch the video? Those two children were either incredibly talented actors (entirely possible but still unlikely) or you’re wrong. Having a dyed-in-the-wool position is a luxury these days, is it not?
Mary Queen – yes, perhaps I was ‘duped’ by a credible piece of propaganda, or it is NOT propaganda, in the sense that it is not manufactured bullshit for you to get haughtily incensed over, but the reality of having children who are dysfunctional & miserable and cannot explain why…IDK..I just have some empathy for the people in the story. Naive as I clearly am, I can’t NOT feel it.
As to “there were no trans kids prior to xxx…” how can you KNOW that? If the human race is several hundred thousand years old, then there is nothing new. Are you aware of the “Fa’afafine” phenomenon of the Pasifika cultures? Long before meeting the conquering Brits, this was recognised as a real thing and dealt with, simply by acceptance.
wikipedia.org/wiki/Fa%CA%BBafafine
Just to be ultra-clear, I’m NOT arguing for “gender reassignment” either surgical or chemical.
I do not agree with any action other than acceptance and tolerance.
However, I don’t know how I would deal with it if a child of mine was in the position of the children in that video.
How would you deal with it?
Good posts, Cruiz. Pretty much what I was trying to say. But there is a darker side even here: Some of these Pacific cultures would focus on a particular boy and try to force him into the feminine role.
The women like a “woman” who can do some of the really heavy work – like moving a couch to vacuum behind it. The elders like a “woman” the young men can fuck without any social entanglements or risk of pregnancy.
They are treated with affection but their social position is a low one nonetheless.
@ Cruizin Suzin:
“However, I don’t know how I would deal with it if a child of mine was in the position of the children in that video. How would you deal with it?”
Your question suggests to me that you don’t have kids. As a parent, you deal with many things that your kids go through–sometimes horrendous things, sometimes emotional problems, sometimes very difficult temperaments. How do you deal with learning that your child has been molested, for example? How do you deal with a child with panic/anxiety disorder or ADHD or autism? How do you deal with learning that an adult has threatened your child at her school-bus stop? What if your daughter is being sexually harassed or bullied at school, and the school won’t do anything about it? How do you deal with a child who is a Type 1 diabetic or has Down’s Syndrome? Stuff like this is a problem. A girl wishing she was a boy (or vice-versa) is not a problem. A parent “deals with” this by showing sympathy, flexibility, and ordinary common sense.
A concur with Paula D that, “Transgender children are like vegan cats. Someone else has made that decision.” “Gender dysphoria” is a problem that would not even happen without a lot of programming coming from others. It would be recognized simply as a case of a girl being a bit of a tomboy and feeling the longing that many girls feel to enjoy the greater freedom that boys enjoy. Or it would be recognized as a case of a boy having a more sensitive nature than usual.
These are “problems” that could easily be solved by acceptance–in other words, not “problems” at all and roughly on par with having a kid who must bear the stigma of being a “bookworm.” One thing I would do to “deal with” this would be to find out where the programming was coming from and remove the child from that influence.
The parents in this video are nut jobs. Most of the kids are far too young to question their gender identity. Gay men don’t normally realize they are gay until they are well into their teens.
When I was teaching, I saw some real “flamers” who had no idea they were gay. Teacher friends of mine would sometimes tell me that they had inadvertently “outed” a kid by saying something that assumed the kid was gay. (They felt bad about this.) I did it once myself. If I remember right, the kid was a sophomore or junior in high school–quite the flamer and always surrounded by a bevy of girls. I was chatting with this little group, and somehow wound up saying to the girls, “Don’t let him steal your boyfriends.” All the kids’ jaws dropped in shock–including the flamer. It had literally never occurred to the girls–or the boy–that the boy was gay.
Ant: And some girls are more than a little bit of a tomboy, growing up with broad faces and shoulders. They may not think they are men, but they will act like them! Hopefully they will be lesbians, but Nature can be very cruel.
And the flamers may not believe they are women either. But they may find it exciting to act and dress that way…..
Being conflict oriented, Mary and Paula can’t even remember how things used to be. These issues are thought of differently now, but they were always here. The difference is that they’ve been weaponized in order to queer people who would have never even thought of these things on their own.
Thank you for sharing your horrible faux pas. Admitting your faults isn’t easy for you.
“And some girls are more than a little bit of a tomboy, growing up with broad faces and shoulders. ”
This is not “being a tomboy.”
Plenty of girls have broad faces and shoulders. It seems that in some quarters, stereotypes of male and female bodies have actually become stronger! The amount of variation within the “normal” is huge.
I am quite sure that girls who spend a lot of time outdoors with active fathers are more likely to be “tomboys” than those who stay inside playing with toy kitchens.
Actually, the fact that both boys and girls these days are wedded to their devices is probably actually reducing the differences.
There have always been people uncomfortable in their own skin. Long before the woke madness. There have always been both men and women who longed to be the other sex. Maybe Blaire’s brain got feminized in the womb somehow?
In any case, Blaire has been my guide to much of what is going on. “She” hates most of it, particularly the non-binaries who set the tone. She does this for a living and by no means have I watched a lot of it. But it’s an interesting glimpse by an intelligent person. She thinks like a man! Logical for the most part – and not just strategically (to win) like you are.
Hahahaha!
The “Lady Brain” argument.
Yeah, maybe pigs can fly too, Jarek.
This has been enlightening. But you should be happy that in this day and age, you can find a man to partner with who believes he’s a woman, and then you don’t have to deal with any actual women. Win/win! It seems like the perfect setup for you.
I do find it endlessly entertaining that you continue to think that a man who believes he’s a woman is thinking critically. Thanks for that lil’ gem.
Indeed, the famous ”lady brain” installed into a body with the equally famous ”lady dick”, enabling said body to push his way into female sports, locker rooms and prison cells. Cause “lady brain”.
He does think like a man though. Fetishes are a male phenomenon, and that includes autogynephilia.
Logic, on the other hand, is sadly lacking in both sexes, from what I can see.
Btw, Blaire herself wonders what this compulsion is that lead her to do all this. In other words, she’s not totally identified with it. She has said that she knows she is not a real woman – and never can be.
But I speak in vain. You have zero compassion and of course, zero curiousity about this. Just rage. All of your compassion is for women. And women with gender dysphoria are just “victims” of men. Or they were just “born that way” as you said below. Contradiction here but you don’t fucking care.
Paula, shame on your for being on the side of this evil, hate filled fanatic.
A man violently murdered a lesbian couple and their son and burned down their house.
He was put into a women’s jail because “I feel like a woman inside.” The media consistently refers to him as “she”.
Women protesting outside the courthouse last week were violently attacked by antifa, because lady brains trump triple murders and arson, and antifa are the shock troops for the Establishment.
But we’re the hateful ones?

Women in the UK made a video protesting violent men being called ”women”.
It needs updating now because we are two years on and the men keep attacking, raping and murdering.
But it gives a taste of our grievances.
.youtube.com/watch?v=9NpIy-0_esU&t=35s
“Just be kind” doesn’t make it when men wearing the skin of women are coddled by The Powers That Be.
One symptom of the small is their lack of memory. Paula can’t even remember how things were a few years ago before the madness struck.
There was always gender dysphoria, mostly in boys but a few girls as well. And even on the physical level, there is obviously some very masculine women and some very feminine men. Another issue, sure. But it’s there.
Being utterly bereft of memory and also conflict oriented, she automatically thinks anyone bringing things like this up is an enemy.
You too, Mary.
There has always been gender dysphoria therefore we must all now pretend that thoughts create reality, and if someone has a mental illness we must genuflect to them, changing our language and our laws to accommodate their fetish.
I don’t follow that logic. Must be my lady brain, (which fits right in with my actual lady body).
I agree with Anthea. Back in the old days (which I can remember very well) a child that thought he was a girl would be patted on the head and told “It’s just a phase you are going through”.
He wouldn’t have video crews and swarmy reporters arrive to wax sympathetic about his tragic plight. He wouldn’t have teachers “affirming” his delusion and social workers removing him from his family if they didn’t go along with it.
He wouldn’t have doctors prescribing dangerous cancer drugs off-label to stop his normal growth and development.
Yes, times have changed. Mental illness is now installed, developed, nurtured and celebrated.
I don’t follow the logic that insists that I go along with this agenda.
I think you’re nuts, just like the blokes that put on lipstick and swear that makes them a woman.
Little boys used to be dressed as girls until quite far into their toddlerhood.

Bravo, Paula!
Who knew that Jarek bought into all the Wokie trans nonsense? But this week he does. I think it’s his obvious crush on Blaire (a MAN).
Thanks for explaining (yet again) reality to those who have bought into the delusion.
So funny, Jarek’s logic: Gender dysphoria has always been a disorder, isn’t it wonderful now we’re making it worse by indulging it, and gaslighting kids in school to take part in the delusion?
He might enjoy this nice Porn-stached guy & his agenda, too:

@ Paula D:
Actually, back in the old days, I don’t recall even a single case of a boy thinking he was a girl, or a girl thinking she was a boy. I don’t recall even a single boy with a preference for playing with he girls or preferring girls’ activities, such as playing with dolls. To tell you the truth, none of the girls I grew up with played with dolls, or wanted to–though by sixth grade most of the girls spent recess playing jacks or working on some crochet or embroidery project, while the boys played baseball or basketball. The crochet and embroidery projects were school assignments.
On the other hand, many of the girls preferred boys’ activities, like playing baseball, exploring the woods, riding bicycles for miles, climbing trees, sledding, and snowball fights. What you can infer from this is not that they were “unfeminine,” but that girls back then had a lot more restraints placed on their natural youthful vitality. Adults did not forbid you to do these things. They just implied that it made you look ridiculous–or cautioned you that you needed to think of your “reputation.” Girls did–and still do–have a lot more physical vigor than they are allowed to freely express. Thus, many girls would rather be boys. But they did not form delusions that they actually were boys.
My recollection is that girls back in the 1950s were all very sturdy, vigorous creatures, who rode around back roads for miles on our bicycles, wandered around in the woods at the edge of town, teased the neighbor’s goats, and got in snowball fights.
My gay male friend wasn’t aware that he was different from the other boys until his teens, and even then the main difference was that he wasn’t interested in girls. But neither was he interested in boys at that age. Being very devout, he believed that this meant he was called to enter a monastery and lead a celibate life.
My point here is that, in the old days, it would never enter a kid’s mind to think they were literally the opposite sex–even if they were very much aware that they didn’t conform to social expectations of male or female behavior.
Gender-appropriate behavior was just part of “the rules.” There was some flexibility on that, and pressure to conform was fairly gently applied, but you knew there would be consequences if you got too far out of line. I think there was even some awareness that “the rules” were not entirely fair to everyone. But they were still “the rules,” and if you didn’t like them it was pretty much tough shit.
“Leave Britney alone”
Mr Kunstler keeps repeating the truth twice weekly. I know the truth about the 60’s political murders, the Kennedy brothers arrogance, LBJ, Vietnam, Iran Contra, the Clinton’s hit squads, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc etc etc etc….the truth has never set me free, it just reminds me what the power structure can get away with sans personal consequences.
Sad, but so very true, doc.
‘EU is bankrupt, lacking power’.
Yes but whats ahead for the USA in 2023?
Spot on post. Thank you for the twice weekly reality check! Bless you.
I’ve never been a Musk fangirl, but what he did with Taibbi last week takes a set, let me tell you. I may not be up his jock like so many, but he’s certainly not stupid. He knows that he has unleashed the Kraken. Now unintended consequences are going to start kicking in all over the place. My eyes are still on Alberta. Danielle Smith also has a pair, which is more than you can say for Justine (gender confused) Trudeau. I’d love to see Alberta and Saskie bolt, along with the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana and a few other empty US states. Those places have oil and, protestations aside, what’s left of America is gonna need them more than they need us.
Whenever I see clips of Turdo among his WEF/GloboCap peers, he always looks like the pathetic, unpromising kid brother tagging along with the big kids.
Most of our Western political ‘leaders’ have been bribed, blackmailed into pushing Woke ideology, WEF and other ‘virtue signaling’ abominations.
However, Justin he actually believes all this nonsense; he is dumber than a rock
Jussie always looks to me like some rich fuck’s boy-toy who has just been invited to his first gay orgy. He can’t wait to be used.
Jussie put the noose around his neck, called the police, and calmly waited for them with the noose around his neck.
Imagine the state of being of someone who could do that.
I was speaking of Jussie Trudeau, attempting to tarnish his image a bit by associating him with another worthless tool.
I think Juicy T. could totally rock the noose look.
I don’t think that’s any more nuts than, say, calling a man in drag “she” and believing that it’s a woman.
” I may not be up his jock like so many, but he’s certainly not stupid. He knows that he has unleashed the Kraken. Now ***unintended consequences*** are going to start kicking in all over the place.”

I’m no fan of Musk either, but he seems to be doing what Trump promised to do, but didn’t.
All the Krakens have slunk back into the depths of the ocean, from what I can tell.
“We will be publishing next year a special report on what the computer is projecting for the Decline and Fall of the United States and how it will separate as was the case for every civilization historically.

I think Armstrong is correct. There is no – zero – way that this is sorted via DC. The only solution is some kind of split. Things continue until they can’t. And “Can’t” gets closer every day.
If it comes to pass, map coloring implies that Oregon and Washington are non-woke.
Armstrong also calls out the maniacs on the left who have found a “new Trump”—namely, Elon Musk—and are presenting with MDS.

Having lived in Wyoming, I can tell you that the people of Wyoming, sans Jackson Hole, would overwhelmingly vote to leave the U.S. Too many of the deep state elites are in JH, and their voting shows it. I hope we get to see it happen, as the path the U.S. is on at present represents total destruction of our way of life. More concerned for the little ones in my family, as I can, and will, take care of myself and have no fear of the cretins/marxists that are in control.
First I am very grateful for your column Mr. Kunstler. It keeps me sane to know I am not alone in my observations and experiences during this time.
“New ops against the people, such as the threatened central bank digital dollar, will be laughed off the stage.”
Yes!
The feverish hand-wringing by “alternative” journalists on this topic has become overwhelmingly irritating to me.
First of all we HAVE digital banking. Debit cards and the like – what are they if not digital. The fantasy of course is much darker however that means you have to believe that they have a few things lined up:
— one central place with all the financial information of every person in US. How? The IRS? They don’t have this information — no one does. Even if they did how is it coordinated?
— banks and banks of servers to coordinate and process all the transactions of everything from a buying a pack of gum to purchases of mansions. Who is building those? With what processors?
— endless constant energy to operate the banks of servers
— endless minions to operate servers (and of course along with the notion that they are faithful and would never monkey-wrench anything). Oh I know, that crafty AI could do it – until the plug is pulled.
— buy-in by everyone and elimination of fiat. Doubtful. People will work around it as we always do (at my small biz I’m getting lots of cash these days).
I could go on and on but mostly I wonder why anyone else isn’t pointing these things out? Why the feverish worry that “this is happening fast” — really? How have the centralized plans worked lately? I only see failure.
The IRS.
They keep sending me letters about things that did not happen. I call them or write to them, thinking I have straightened everything out, then I get a new letter with a new imaginary situation.
There is a cliff near my house that is looking good right about now.
I’ve ignored everything they’ve sent me for about 20 years now.
Wade – just wait until one of the Biden regime’s proposed 87,000 IRS new hires – you know, the ones that should be proficient in the use of firearms and be willing to use deadly force if necessary – show up at your door. You can pretend you’re not home, but they’ll eventually be hard to ignore.

==========
Youse guys make it sound so simple to ignore the IRS.
Peter was audited and fined twice that I know of. A CPA did his returns but he could only use the data supplied by Peter which were laughable lies. For instance, for business mileage he kept no log of his travel, he just made shit up. To the extent that there were any legitimate records they were gathered and submitted by his wife, Darlene, who was the organized member of their relationship.
After a long battle with “Parkinsonism” Dar died on the 4th of July 2014. The 2013 returns had never been completed since Peter (i.e. his accountant) always filed for an extension to Oct 15. He had no choice since Peter was incredibly bad at providing documentation*. And of course once DAR died no returns were ever submitted for that year or any year thereafter to this very day. Peter just said Fuck It!, metaphorically speaking. There were never any ramifications that I’m aware of as a result of his ignoring tax laws.
There are many side issues related to Peter’s taxes that I could tell you about but I’d rather not bore you.
Years passed, Dar’s ashes were in the ground and Peter had long since stopped paying the mortgage, property tax, HOA fees, utility bills, etc. while he continued to live in a small McMansion out in an area of NJ close to where Walter B lives. WE (the family) finally prevailed on him to sell his house (procrastination is Peter’s middle name). I have told the tale of this effort previously. A lawyer within our extended family handled the closing gratis. The lawyer’s office would contact my wife and say “we asked Peter to bring us seven pieces of documentation and he showed up with one measly piece of paper… can you help us with this? Peter is impossible.” My wife said “Yeah, tell me about it.”
From the sell price, all those unpaid prop taxes and other unpaid bills had to first be paid off. This left an astonishingly small amount. Peter never saved any money in an IRA or otherwise. He always assumed his home’s value would increase endlessly but Au Contraire. The payout of what was left from the home’s sale came to Peter in two separate checks. The very day the first check was direct deposited in his bank account Peter was already on the Autotrain to Florida (the land of deadbeats and divorced husbands who don’t want to pay child support). When asked “Why Florida?” they invariably say they hate the cold weather up north.
When Bo and I rescued Peter from a medical facility on the Gulf Coast on Jan. 24, 2020 his net worth was down to $13.5K. I had researched Peter’s finances (there were hundreds of pieces of unopened mail) and he asked me “but what happened to all that money?” and I said “that’s my question to you.” In plain English, he pissed it away.
… rescued Peter from a medical facility on the Gulf Coast on Jan. 24, 2020 – Q.
===========
Not that it makes any difference to the point of my post (concerning tax returns) but in the interest of accuracy I believe we rescued Peter on Jan. 24, 2021, not 2020. So, we are approaching the two year anniversary of Peter having lived on my 3rd floor which began on or about Feb 1st, 2021.
The IRS/Government won’t care/concern themselves with the “chicken feed” will they Q. Because, “you will own nothing, and be happy”.
BUT, they will want to know where you got the money to buy the property, and the expensive car.
In a right of survivor death, one needs to go the county and file a death notice in order to “unlock” various accounts.
A few more obstacles can easily be added to make an individual recognize that “you either play the game, or loose by default”.

or loose by default”. – TPTB
============
You wouldn’t think that they’d bother with low income filers yet they audited and fined Peter twice. I think when their algorithms spot something that is grotesquely false they feel they MUST audit or word would spread that you can get away with ANYTHING.
BTW, it’s lose not loose.
Do you think it would have been the same if he didn’t own anything of value?
Would you mind following me around and correcting all the mistakes (I’m lucky I’ve gotten this far)?
Same here. I paid estimated taxes in one lump sum rather than worrying about vouchers….this seemed to throw a sabot in the gears. They send letters telling me to review the online site to get it straightened out but it never shows anything.
I think they owe ME money now, so there’s no real incentive for anyone to do anything about it.
You need to pay your taxes on time and in full or go Galt. The nail that stands up gets beaten down.
We get a letter every six months asking for taxes from an entity that we closed out 10 years ago.
We’ve event talked to them on the phone and explained.
What’s the reason? I thought they knew everything.
I know a guy in his 50s who has not filed a tax return or paid income tax in decades–mostly working off the books or as a 1099 employee. He has always ignored any IRS correspondence. I think the key to making this work is to have zero assets–and thus nothing that the IRS can take. Their only option is to put you in jail, which would be a loss for them, so they probably won’t bother.
Could anyone do this without winding up destitute in their old age? I think so. But you’d really have to think it through.
In general, I agree, D. The question at the end of the logical reduction seems to be, will the guys with the weapons actually fire upon the people? And will they unify after the shooting starts, or will they splinter?
There is hope. Look at the revolt in China against the Covid insanity there. There were some government goons laying into the protesters, but at the end of the day, it was the government that backed down.
Thank you Hereward. That’s the point.
What guys with weapons? The police? Army?
Who’s the boss?
Otherwise again this is just some narrative not reality.
What you have missed is the fact that you have the option of dealing in cash. The point of all digital currency is to remove that option & then banks would have complete control over your personal & professional business. Working hand in hand with the government agencies, IRS-Homeland Security-EPA, etc, would create and maintain a slave state. The most effective means to destroy people is poverty. An earlier poster linked to tweets about goals for the people having 3 pieces of clothes a year added to their existing wardrobe. That can easily be accomplished if there’s no money to buy anything. Inflation will accomplish this.
SW:
Paying in cash really is a small action we can all take. I am making a point of doing so for in-person shopping.
Yesterday I apologized to a cashier for using a card to pay for a coffee—I had forgotten that I had scraped the bottom of my wallet.
She said, It doesn’t matter; no one uses cash anymore.
This isn’t good!
Agreed. And of course, any CBDC will be lapped up by the sheep because it is “convenient”. Use cash as much as you can!
Seriously, no need to patronize.
Cash is Fiat. It can be anything and has been and will be. Did I miss something there?
I’m looking for the HOW.
“…then banks would have complete control over your personal & professional business.”
Just simply answer my energy question.
Also the one about servers and computer maintenance.
A simple uproar at a Chinese factory and no iphones for awhile so what happens if its computer chips and the like?
Where can they put the banks or computers where they aren’t vulnerable from attack from the resistance? Just play it out.
Or you could spend your time swooning over all the power you assume others have over you.

Your questions regarding energy and servers will also be answered. The NSA is one of the primary purchasers of supercomputers in the world…dating from the ’50’s.

Paula, what is that a tadpole talking in that clip?
lol, he is not the most attractive man in the world, but he is one of the richest and most powerful.
My woke son in law told me he is going to buy a battery operated snowblower and sell his gas powered unit. We all live in the frozen tundra rustbelt.The more I try to educate him the dumber he gets.
Batteries don’t do well with extreme cold or heat.
Terrible idea.
There is always the age-old method of using a shovel.
Frank – lithium-ion batteries are famous for catching fire. Maybe if the garage catches fire, it’ll melt all the snow in the driveway. He may be smarter than you think.
Experience is still the best teacher.
My neighbor had one of those battery powered snow blowers. It was worthless, a piece of sh#t. If you have to clear any area more than a walkway to the bus stop stop in front of your house 10 feet away it is a waste of money.
Certain battery powered tools make a lot of sense. For one, unless you are using Marine Grade Fuel, your gasoline will go bad after a few months. Also, the ethanol that is put in gasoline is more corrosive to hoses, seals, etc. You can foul a carb fairly quickly by leaving gasoline to sit for a few months thus rendering your tools useless.
I have a battery powered lawnmower, chainsaws, weed eater, hedge trimmer and rototiller. They all run off of the same battery pack and they do just fine. The rototiller is the greediest with regards to power consumption but can tear up enough earth to put in a small garden and do so on a single charge.
I also have a small solar rig that can recharge all of those batteries and when Brandon finally gets around to dropping the grid, my neighbors will be happy that I have those chainsaws and that I’m able to “rent” them equipment to put in a garden.
When the gasoline taps gets shut off I’ll still be in business and be able to do some good.
I’m slow to the take and actually just learned that the quality of most of our gasoline is not good. I was wondering why the carburetors in my mowers, chain saws, generators, snow blowers etc. were gumming up so quick even with careful maintenance.
Buy AV gas, 100 octane, no ethanol, and it still has a little lead for your brain cells. Add some Pri-G and it will be good for years.
The common wisdom used to be that when all else fails they take you to war (presumably to distract from the crumbling empire, then to write the next script).
If the Ukraine Op is the worst catastrophe facing the USA as things fall apart then I’d deem us very lucky indeed — assuming it peters out with an Afghanistan-like coda.
But can we count out the Nulands just yet? Lavrov has recently stated clearly that Russia considers NATO/USA as a direct belligerent.
This did not get much press reaction in The West.
If the neocons up the ante despite the obvious warning expect escalation to follow, and not necessarily limited to Western military assets in Eastern Europe. Putin is reputed to have said words to the effect that “if a fight is unavoidable, strike first.”
But Russia has all that farmland, oil, gas, uranium and other resources!
The US will never stop until our ruling overlords get their hands on those resources again.
That ain’t going to happen.
What people here forget is that it ain’t just about Russia. It’s China too. If we fight one, we get to fight the other one too. No way that China will allow the West to defeat Russia either militarily or economically. In a way, I hope Biden tries.
i hope you’re right that the CBDC gets laughed off stage. That is the worst possible outcome should that come to pass. Here is the way TPTB will play it: They will promise to fund everyone’s account with a tidy sum. The desperate and ignorant Americans will welcome the new currency like a drug addicted mother of four welcoming a monthly welfare installment. Then TPTB will own us.
I expect the CBDC to ride into our lives in the Trojan Horse of UBI. “Free money?! Sure! Sign me up!” Met not with resistance, but with rejoicing by the ignorant masses.
Most people don’t think like us Clusterfuckers.
Well jim, allow me to welcome you to the other side.
No more fighting against logic as you try to reconcile truth with conventional (guided) belief. Accept the fact of criminal conspiracy and forgo social approval; no more allergies.
Anyway, one day yours will be the majority opinion, and then what of those who maintained the ring fence of acceptable dissent, those who controlled public opinion and approved platforms?
The fun and games are only getting started – Maslow should be our muse. It’s all fine until eating, sleeping, staying warm and being mobile become luxuries.
Somebody just demonstrated how fragile the grid is. A couple shots with a decent hunting rifle and there goes the power. These large transformers don’t grow on trees. In fact many come from our friends in the Middle Kingdom and the supply on hand in the USA is limited.
A repeat of the Carrington event that happened in the mid 1800’s, well, that might take out many of our large transformers, and it might take years to get new ones built and installed. The dieoff that results from loss of the electric grid might even be so horrific that it discourages the survivors from trying to rebuild the system and life style that killed so many the first time after it all broke down due to a routine solar event. We are addicted to fossil fuels in the same way someone is addicted to drugs or alcohol. The dependency is so deep and systemic that when the addictive substance is unavailable for whatever reason, the addict dies. The system we’ve created might have made things very comfy and nice for a 100 years or so, but it seems absolutely nobody thinks about what the situation might be if it all breaks down. If you cannot live without fossil fuel inputs, then you are basically little more than a slave in a state of completel helplessness and dependency.
Our ancestors were much stronger than we are because they didn’t live like we do.
Simply put: Raw Materials + Energy Inputs = Finished Goods. Simple equation – the outcome is obvious.
I’m more concerned about some sort of nuclear EMP attack without warning as in “one Second After”. With a CME we would have at least an 18 hour warning and maybe a couple days. The controllers, whoever that is, could at least make an attempt to take everything off line. I myself would be able to prepare if i heard about it.
Woodchuck, ever so often I stumble upon a bit of history that inadvertently reveals how immensely more resilient, yes, and stronger they were up until the Twentieth Century anyway.
Did you know that it was not uncommon for frontiersmen planning to strike out for the wild west to go to a city dentist and have each and every one of their teeth extracted?
The reasoning was that an infected tooth in the barren expanse of the central plains – or worse the west – could soon kill you, painfully, and there was nothing you could do to alleviate it.
So get ’em yanked and get ready to gum that jerky.
I think they are estimating a week of living by candlelight. Optimists?
I’ll last a lot longer then a week unless I get killed in a riot/shootout.
There goes the power, and then they blame it on the alt-right, who are angry over drag queens coming to town.
The grid only goes down because someone wants it
down.
Yea someone like Ra.
Ha ha. Yes, he is, actually was, a god.
Yes, I saw this. Had no idea you could shut down a county pot-shotting at the transformers. I expect to see more of it.
Some good news as the DC junta kicks the can yet again on the Real ID enforcement date for air travelers down the road to May 2025.
How many times have they done this because they refuse to admit no one wants the, “enhanced,” driver’s licenses?
In a few years, and after the USA loses access to the imported heavy crude needed to make diesel and jet fuel – there won’t be much air traveling going on, at least not for us “masses”. At some point, when fuel is either rationed or unavailable, there won’t even be much point in having a driver’s license.
Yup.
All remaining available fossil fuels will go straight to the US military and the people in charge of them.
Will jet fuel still be available for Leonardo DeCaprio’s and John Kerry’s privately owned Jetstream IVs? After all, they’re engaged in the important work of saving the planet from Big Oil.
I’d been thinking about it for a while, but it only took a few weeks into the covid “pandemic” for me to make firm plans to leave the west coast for good. Sold my home I’d had for 15 years (at a nice, top of the market, price), bought land in the WY/ID/lower MT area. And, not near places like Bozeman, Jackson or Boise. In a rural area where people know how to fix their own things, grow their own food even still, know each other and where we get our own energy from a mix of near-by coal, oil, water, wind and sun. I don’t miss anything about the urban areas I’ve left – not the foodie scene, shopping, live theater – and certainly not the homeless everywhere, increasing crime and lunatic elected officials. If you have the means, go rural and go rural quick.
I ran across an 11 y.o. video that talks about 9-11 as a massive cover-up and destruction of evidence previous financial crimes.
I don’t pretend to know how selling bonds was part of the financial rape of Russia in 1991, but apparently those bonds were coming due in Sept. 2001, until 9-11 happened and the rules were loosened for 45 days.
That is only part of the destruction of witnesses and evidence that happened on that day, most of it laid out in the first 20 minutes of the video.
youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=n_fp5kaVYhk%5C
And watching as crazed Ukrainians throw themselves against the Russian frontlines, and how they torture and murder Russian POWs, while Russians insist that “We are all one family”, you have to wonder what made them such crazed haters.
Turns out they have been teaching it to the kids in school for the last 8 years, and the US funded the textbooks. Just like the University of Nevada wrote jihadist textbooks which were handed out to Pakistani and Afghan boys in madrassas, teaching them to hate Russians back in the 80s.
Now look at what they are teaching schoolchildren in the US nowadays and realize that it is the same rulers pushing CRT that pushed jihadism and nazism in other countries. I have no doubt it has the same purpose.
Didn’t Rumsfeld announce the Pentagon had lost $2.3 trillion on 9-10?
Scott Ritter posted an interview with a Russian commander claiming the only languages they hear on their radio intercepts are English and Polish.
Rumors out of Poland claim they have begun conscripting 200k men to fight in Ukraine.
Yes, Rumsfield made that announcement and the next day we are told that the hijacker who couldn’t fly a Cessna and who “hated America” flew all the way around the Pentagon instead of coming in straight and crashing into the top generals and Rumsfield.
Instead we are told that he “conducted a descending and accelerating 330 degree corkscrew turn from 7000 feet west of the Pentagon to arrive precisely at ground level without skidding the surface to strike the Office of Naval Intelligence with military precision at over 500 miles per hour.”
The Office of Naval Intelligence was hit, killing all the investigators
The auditors working on the missing funds were also killed.
The video I posted was mostly about the financial crimes, not the absurdity of the Official Story, but the story of Hani Hanjour and the undefended Pentagon is definitely part of the Official Story.
It’s dangerous to be an investigator of the crimes of the elite.
Back in 1988 Pan Am 103 was blown up over Lockerbie, Scotland. Pan Am hired investigators to find out who did it and why.
It turned out to be Palestinian terrorists hired by the Oliver North Guns For Drugs operation being run out of the White House basement (overseen by that same George H.W. Bush who ran the scam on Russia a few years later).
There was a DIA team of investigators on that plane who had evidence of the drug and gun running. They dead now.
Pan Am was driven out of business for their impertinence, and when 9-11 happened the Federal Government stepped in to pay off the families so that no uppity airlines decided to investigate what had happened to those four planes.
Airlines are not primary investigators of accidents involving their planes. At most they send a few representatives to work with national agencies such as the U.S. NTSB.
But Pan Am did hire an investigator back then.
Weren’t there some important Chinese scientists on the Malaysian flight XXX (can’t recal numbers) that was lost over the Eastern Indian Ocean? Or members of some group that was presumed to have info relating to something . . . ?
I seem to remember they were big on semiconductor research or something like that.
Yeah, Malaysia Airlines should have hired an investigator to find out why three of their planes were attacked that year.
First, the one that “disappeared”. Yeah, right.
Then, the one shot down over Ukraine.
Third, the one that crashed in December 2014.
Someone was sending a message.
Paula:
I think one speculation was that the “message” concerned Malaysia’s holding a people’s court or tribunal kind of event regarding . . . the Iraq War? Or maybe the Libya invasion?
Or maybe re 9/11?
The speculation was that TPTB were not amused at this.
Yeah, I think they convicted George the Lesser and a couple of others of war crimes.
So bye-bye hundreds of people on those planes.
And as is our rulers’ wont, they got double duty out of the July one by blaming it on Russia.
I have not read that the hijacker pilot made a circling approach to the Pentagon. Source?
You’re right that the official story of the hijacked plane’s flight path is a crock. I recall one 20,000-hour professional airline pilot saying he could not have managed it, let alone an unlicensed training school student.
Here is a cartoon version of the Official Story:
.youtube.com/watch?v=MHgNRcrNvoA
Here is a debunking site pointing out how incredible (as in not at all credible) the story is:
(Wow. Trying to find the website I took the above quote from, I ran into 404 after 404. I must have used different search terms earlier.
Anyway, I had to go back to my history to find it again….)
//911pilots.org/hijackers/
Pilots for 911 truth made a dvd set with quite a bit of detail, including animation with narration. They are a bit technical at times (not deep-dive technical) discussing what should have been visible if a plane of such size flew so close to the ground. What should have happened didn’t.
A lot of it has disappeared from searches. However, they made physical dvd sets. The challenge would be finding them in places, maybe libraries, maybe private collections. I had a set, maybe 2. It was a way of supporting their efforts.
The conclusion they came to, as experienced pilots of both military and commercial aircraft, is nearly impossible for them to do such precision flying. Some admitted it was beyond their skill set.
Apparently being able to incompetently fly a Cessna makes one a more precision-talented pilot.
Regarding the circling approach, this is one of the points. Experienced pilots found it difficult to near impossible to imagine putting a commercial airliner into such a turn.
If one can find still photos of the near-aftermath, there is no debris field. The experienced pilots said no, doesn’t work that way.
Later photos (PhotoShop can do wonders) show a small debris field from a different angle. Another no-go.
The cartoon I posted showing the Official Story was rather vague about the turn, if you didn’t watch it.
Corny music, mixed with interspersed cartoon cuts from various cartoon angles, made it look less impossible than a straightforward animation would have.
I wish I had the pilots version to share, for sure.
Hani Hanjour received his pilot’s license with the provision that he only fly accompanied by another licensed pilot – so poor was his ability.
Yet his skills were adequate to conduct “a descending and accelerating 330 degree corkscrew turn from 7000 feet west of the Pentagon to arrive precisely at ground level without skidding the surface to strike the Office of Naval Intelligence with military precision at over 500 miles per hour.”
Nothing to it – or so I’ve been told by none other than an airline pilot. (Apparently not a member of Pilots for 9/11 Truth.)
And leave no debris. ‘Cause airliners are basically just pans of Jiffy Pop. They disintegrate into subatomic particles when smashing into anything thicker than a cloud.
Uh huh. Nothing to see here. Just some devout Muslims upping their Angry Birds skills.
His passport survived though – which was double plus good evidence.
I don’t understand why Poland would want to send its youth—or anyone—-to fight in Ukraine on the side of Ukraine.
I thought the Ukes hated the Polaks. And vice versa. And coveted Galicia.
Are the Polaks doing this to curry favor with the US/NATO?
Or will they “occupy” Galicia and then not go back to Poland?
I assume that all former Warsaw Pact members get the same “Hate Russkies” schoolbooks that Ukraine schoolchildren get.
It is bizarre that they are fighting on the same side as the Banderists who killed hundreds of thousands of Poles, but Poles are not famous for their intelligence.
Yeah, that seems to be the best guess. Poland is puffing up its military presence because they plan to occupy and appropriate north west UKR. As before.
The Poles owned as part of their national lands, much of what is now called UKR.
Poles will establish a military occupation and a boundary line and dare the Russians to cross it.
Ukrainians? who dat.
Ritter, Macgregor, the Duran, many have opined on aspects of the Polish strategy.
Such a plan by the Polaks would seem to complicate the Russians’ establishment of a buffer/no man’s land area between itself and any NATO state.
Somehow I can’t imagine that Russia would like the idea of going to the trouble to demilitarize Ukraine only to find that it is now new neighbors with the Poles!!
Again!!
Maybe Putin will come up with some kind of a pact.
Poland seems to lend itself to pacts.
I heard about the Poles also. Yesterday I also heard that there was a unit of Georgians about to be smashed.
And they also hear Spanish spoken by the mercenaries. That might explain where some of those 2,000,000 young men who have been waved across our southern border ended up.
Paula-
Good call on the Spanish intercepts.
Quite a few Spanish speaking mercs are being exposed on the, “TrackANaziMerc,” Telegram channel.
There may well be Muslims fighting on both sides as well. Consider the millions of young men who marched into Germany a few years ago. “Refugees” in designer clothes, in good shape. That took a lot of planning and feeding. Yet we’ve heard hardly a word about it.
It has also been reported that the US is moving some ISIS terrorists from Syria to fight on the side of Ukraine.
But I saw a video some years ago, before YouTube started censoring in 2017, which was ISIS members opening a shipment of weapons from the Ukrainian nazis who were funneling NATO weapons to Syria
There was something wrong with the weapons. I don’t speak Arabic but I could tell they were furious and cussing up a storm. And now they can get their revenge on the Banderists who ripped them off.
But maybe they’ll be like the Poles and forget about it.
Hahahaha!
I doubt the ISIS thugs will turn on their paymaster. They will kill who they are paid to kill.
Of course there will be extracurricular, recreational killing (raping, robbing, beating, etc.) too – best to think of it as fringe benefits. We can always blame it on the Russians.
U of Nevada? – I’d have never guessed.
Oops. My bad.
It was the University of Nebraska, not Nevada.
.slideshare.net/2sadanand/afghan-schoolbook-nebraska
Hmmm. Is this the same university that Sam Binton the “dog” disciplinarian teaches classes at?
Ha! I didn’t realize that.
Oh, Nebraska, we hardly knew ye.
Seriously! The last place I’d expect a real cesspool of wokie perviness would be Nebraska.
Is that sarcasm, MQ?
And Yes to Oh, Canada.
No it’s not sarcasm
Makes me wonder how many other countries benefit from this and other attentions.
Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Iraq as well as Ukraine, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
And now, the USA.
Thanks for posting. I’m going to watch this.
The thing that always gets me about the pentagon is, it was impossible for a commercial jet airliner to hit it like it did. It had to be a missile or controlled demo. I saw Barbara Honegger’s 3-hour breakdown of it.
In any case, it was physically impossible, just like so many other false flags were (OK bombing, etc.) and yet people still believe it even after being shown the evidence of the impossibility.
This is why I have little faith that most will ever get the covid hoax. We seem to be programmed to not believe in the laws of physics.
I did quite a bit of research on the topic of the ‘planes’ and the route they allegedly took.
My conclusion, shared by others, was a missile. It was a precision hit into the newly renovated and harden area housing Naval Intelligence. What is telling, among other features, is the exit hole. Tough locating pics of it at this point. Impact, explosion, energy wave continuing forward until exiting through the inside wall.
While I’m at it, to fly such an aircraft into the towers allowed, based on wingspan, a 25 foot margin of error.
I think it was pre-planted explosives. That part of the Pentagon had recently been “updated”, much like the parts of the WTC that were hit. Did you see the testimony of the employee who had just come back from maternity leave? She heard explosions and smelled explosives.
Lots and lots of people saw a plane flying overhead just before the explosions. I saw a video of an employee who was on the other side of the Pentagon, smoking a cigarette, and he saw a plane flying low on that side, just after the explosions.
All those “witnesses” swear that they saw a plane flying into the Pentagon, but what they actually saw was a plane flying over the Pentagon, obscured by a massive explosion and smoke.
Smokers are the real truth tellers. I have a friend who was in Washington, DC on Jan. 6th, and she was by the tunnels smoking a cigarette at about 5pm, when she saw a young woman being wheeled out on a gurney, looking pale and “resigned”. She said “She looked like someone going to surgery.” She had an IV, and was surrounded by agents.
She had been out all day at the demonstration and so missed the “news” coverage. She heard about Ashley Babbit later and thought she had seen her being wheeled out, but I had to tell her that that whole thing went down about 1pm and was long over at 5pm.
But she saw someone.
Very good, Paula. Jibes with my take on it. I think a missile would have been way more risky and clumsy.
Actually, they were doing CPR on her at 1pm, but she wasn’t declared dead at the hospital until much later that night. I find it hard to believe that they did CPR for 6 hours.
So whatever happened in between, or who that person was who was wheeled out at 1pm, we will probably never know.
In retrospect, I would say 911 was the biggest crime in the history of mankind.
And they got away with it – at least in this life.
My issue with that is, wasn’t that super chancy? A controlled demolition would knock out the part they wanted to (as Paula says above, the evidence and the evidence workers). Are missiles that exact? I don’t know. There were some things on the ground that they tried to pass off as “American Airlines” insignia/branding on a piece of metal, but it didn’t match. Of course, no one asked questions (except Barbara Honegger, and other ‘conspiracy theorists.’). BTW, Honegger was a WH offficial under Reagan, I believe.
I think that people would have seen a missile, just like they saw the plane.
Also, a missile launched from where? There was a packed freeway right by the Pentagon (which is where a lot of the plane witnesses were).
How to shoot a missile that low and not hit anything but the Office of Naval Intelligence?
Yes, Honegger was a Reagan official. She is the one who spilled the beans about the Reagan campaign deal with the Ayatollah, where Iran kept the hostages until Reagan was inaugurated, so that Carter wouldn’t be re-elected, and then the Reagan administration sold arms to Iran.
The October Surprise.
Another point I meant to make, Paula, thanks.
Where would the missile have been launched from???
Yeah I am gonna go with controlled demolition, just like the 3 towers, and the OK ‘bombing’.
The documentary Loose Change makes the case for a missile strike on the Pentagon. A very short video clip shows – from the only camera (of hundreds – thousands?) not immediately seized by the FBI – what is claimed to be a missile striking the Pentagon.
According to the official story, a jet engine punched through 10 separate concrete walls – miraculously threading the needle between several concrete support pillars – to penetrate the inner wall. Meanwhile, the airliner, the passengers, the luggage, all vaporized.
I flew over the site of the ’96 ValuJet crash in the Everglades in a helicopter at an altitude of 500 feet, 3 days after the crash. More evidence of a plane crash there – the airliner itself disappeared into a 60 foot deep muck hole – than I saw at the Pentagon, or Shanksville, PA, on TV on 9/11.
I remember hearing on the news the night of the Oklahoma City bombing that several unexploded bombs were found and removed from inside the building. Never heard it again – except from conspiracy theorists.
My guess on the Pentagon: pre-planted explosives. Just like the Twin Towers.
JInx! Or, great minds… I had just finished up my comment before reading yours, and yeah, the best explanation is controlled demo.
I just can’t figure out how they could have launched a missile that would hit the exact spot. And as Paula asks, from where?
And yeah: No evidence of any sort of missile or plane.
There was a plane. Lots of people saw it. It just didn’t go into the Pentagon, it went over it.
BTW, I watched “Loose Change” in 2003 – to give you an idea of how long I’ve been onto the scam!
The U.S. and Canada took in the Ukrainian Nazis following WW II. They form a strong political constituency in Canada. One of their own is Finance Minister and Deputy PM.
The OSS-MI-5 were actively recruiting stay-behind far-right commando/guerilla groups to keep things restive for the Soviets. Many deaths and much destruction followed throughout the Cold War (that never ended.) Of course we never heard about it.
A stark fact of history is no Ukrainian Nazis were ever tried at Nuremberg, in spite of actions that appalled even the SS death squads and the numbers dead from their depredations were and are sickening. Jews, Poles, Hungarians, Russians, their own, some kind of record for the era, I have little doubt. That kind of hatred as taught by the CIA-MI-5 since 2014 was sown in already fertile fields.
Germany was destroyed. The Nazis not so much. Their membership was (and is) transcontinental. The games that have been run on us since Bernays got his wings have been and continue in their evermore sophisticated techniques and applications. But you know this already.
Many do not and will not. Ever. They’re going to “fight for the American way” and will continue to carry on as usual in spite of the heaping piles of evidence. But you knew this too.
It’s lonely in the wilderness. But it’s as honest as one can be. I think it’s worth it, if not necessary for living a full term. Fortunately for me, I’ve got most of that already out of the way.
Peace to you for as long as it lasts.
Thanks. Peace to you also.
Barbara Honegger also thought it was a missile, but I don’t believe she was settled on it. ANd I’m going from memory, because it’s been a few years since I watched this. But it’s really great, if memory serves, for anyone who’s interested:
https://youtu.be/hcTQdqSDYB0
I am also amazed that in 2015 or so it aired on Seattle public TV.
Try and pull that shit now – I dare ya!
Today’s title is especially fitting….the lights just went out as I started reading. This has been happening weekly for some time. I’ve been in this house since ’96 and it used to NEVER happen. What’s up with this? Anyone else experiencing unusual outages? Comes right back up but there have been some fried electronics and I HATE resetting all the clocks. It seems like even an electric toothbrush has a freakin’ clock that has to be reset.
What happened yesterday to the grid in NCarolina? Somebody shot it up and knocked it out. I’m reminded of the book ‘How to Blow Up a Pipeline! written by a Swedish Professor who advocates eco-terrorism in the fight against Big Oil & Climate Change.
First they send drag queens to an area they want to gain control over. Then they shoot up the grid, and blame it on the alt-right haters, to have an excuse to throw anyone who opposes their agenda in jail.

I almost froze to death one night a couple of week ago. But now I have my propane heater ready to rumble.
How long does propane last? Anyone know?
Real men know how to dress to stay warm under any conditions. It’s easy after you’ve spent time working or playing outside all day long in sub freezing temps. Real men also know where to get and how to use heavy down sleeping bags that keep you toasty warm at night. It’s wusses, sissies, and women that must have propane in order to get by in winter. How long does propane last? Well, it depends on how many gallons of the stuff you have in storage.
This is your suppressed (and therefore unrefined and vicious) macho side coming out. Hello, Redneck!
My Celtic ancestors in Europe talked like this and got slaughtered. Armor is for sissies. So are heavy down sleeping bags.
Same thing in England. Every Roman Legion had a “psychologist” or expert on foreigners with them. The Romans were beseiging the great fortress at Dorchester. What should we do, they asked? He replied, Call them women. They did and the Celts came pouring out to be slaughtered.
Ireland? Same thing. No heavy down sleeping bag armor. One Norman Baron wrote to another, Our opponents are naked. Strike, barons, strike!
The Celtic refugees who fled to Scotland may have learned their lesson, perhaps aided by the Picts – who may have had a different ethnic lineage. I don’t know if they got armor, but they got cunning and managed to wipe out a legion or two. The Romans became afraid of them and built a wall rather than fight them.
The Scots – those “Celtic refugees who…” invaded what became known as “Scotland” – were of a different lineage than the Picts. The Scots spoke a Goidelic Celtic language, while the Picts spoke a Brittonic Celtic language. They had been separate long enough to think of the other as the Other.
So probably not much aid from the Picts – the people whose land they were invading. Besides, the Picts fought naked too. Blue paint is not the most effective armor.
Then 1200 years later, England uproots Lowland Scots (the Picts having become the Highland Scots) and transplants them to Ulster to make it more Protestant, more like the English. That’s Irish comedy for ya.
The Scots invaded Scotland centuries after the period I’m talking about. The Britons may have been related to the Picts. I don’t think people know. They had a different way of life, but their land was much harder than the prime real estate the main body of Celts had taken.
The Scots and Picts fought for centuries until finally becoming one people via royal marriage. The Scots probably dominated the partnership.
Real children, too!
I am glad I grew up in an unimproved Cape. No central heating, no AC, no nothing except a converted wood stove in the kitchen and a fireplace in the living room. And storm windows. In the winter only the kitchen, dining room, and living room were heated.
I’m more worried about the pipes freezing than me freezing. But, I live in a fairly forgiving climate.
@ Islander:
Yes, if you don’t have central heat, you biggest issue is frozen pipes–usually overnight, when the temps drop and the fire is banked in the wood stove. The best solution for that is to re-plumb with PEX. (It will freeze, but it won’t break.)
My previous house, where I lived for over 20 years, had no central heat. There was a wood stove in one room, a propane fireplace in the living room, and a propane wall heater in the bathroom. We sometimes used electric space heaters in bedrooms. I even used a kerosene heater for a couple of years, before we installed propane. One family of neighbors basically moved in with us when the electricity went out. That was the year when we had a major ice storm, which I think was 2002. We were happily cooking and making coffee on the wood stove, and lighting candles and kerosene lamps at night. The biggest inconvenience was water, which I pulled up from the cistern with a bucket. This was because the pump was electric. It takes quite a bit of water to keep the toilet flushed in a large household. But our electricity seldom went out, and never for long, as all our lines were underground there.
Anthea:
Sounds pretty much like my childhood house! I don’t think our pipes ever froze but could be wrong about that. I do recall leaving a faucet dripping on a few occasions. One advantage to the limited warm space was that the whole family was in the living room in the evening (after dishes washed). No skulking about in your room fiddling with your device!!
It was a small house and the converted wood stove was on all night.
The problem with my current situ is that I live in a small “garret” apt at the top of a smallish converted 1900-built building with a few units. There is one furnace for the whole house. I have no control over anything. The heat is on in the building, my own thermostat is working, but the baseboard units in my apt are not working. There must be an air lock of some kind, but I have no idea how to bleed this type of unit.
Et cetera et cetera et cetera, as the king/Yul Brynner said in The King and I!!
Not long. It burns up quick.
It depends on how much you use it.
Maybe I wasn’t specific enough: How long does it last in the tank, unused, before it becomes useless?
Until the tank rots out and it all escapes. otherwise indefinitely.
Propane is actually one of the most stable fuels available. It will essentially last forever in your storage tank, while heating oils, gas, and diesel have a storage limit anywhere from one year to a few years
Daddy,
I have used diesel that was almost 20 years old. and without issue.
Did it seem weird to you to call him Daddy?
Because it looked weird to me when I read it.
Paula,
Sort of. …my friends call me Alice, but I’ll take a dare….
I had to look that one up.
Fascinating and useful. I will by some larger tanks then.
Thanks, gents.
I remember Woody back when we were Neanderthals with an ice age coming. He was raving about how good his bear skin coat was and that fire was for sissies.
Jarek, propane is LPG, liguified petroleum gas, you have to remember to shake your tanks every month or the components will separate.
What about checking the tanks with soapy water for leaks? How important is that?
Worst case scenarios? Explosive or just peaceful but fiery? Carbon Monoxide, so there has to be an opened window.
Jarek,
Remember that the gas is heavier than air…it can collect in basements, stairwells, etc. Trace compounds are added for an unpleasant smell, and this draws flies…Sooo, if flies are congregating around your supply, you probably have a leak.
I would give the Saint credit for knowing what he is talking about., but I never EVER heard of LPG separating…shaking fire extinguishers, certainly.
I will check it out.
Jarek,
The Saint was just “pulling your Pulaski”…no need to shake the tank.
Yes, it smells like methane and all things decay. I can imagine flies would like it.
Methane is odorless, and lighter than air. Natural gas is mainly methane. Propane is a different animal.
“…no need to shake the tank.”
That’s a relief. My propane tank is 330 gallons. I was just out there with a 4×4 fence post – couldn’t budge it.
It will last until it’s gone. Then you can shake it.
If you still have electricity, go pickup one of the Sunbeam electric blankets at WalMart and a cheap fleece blanket to throw on top of that.
You’ll be plenty toasty.
@ thirdcoastlegend:
It’s good to have lots of down comforters, “down alternative” comforters, and a feather mattress. I used to have two or three feather mattresses that I bought at thrift stores.
Another really good trick is to heat rocks on top of the wood stove and put them at the foot of your bed at night. Only really hard igneous rocks work well for this. Eventually I found an antique foot-warming stone at a garage sale. These are large, flat soapstones–about 10″ X 14″, and about an inch thick. They will retain heat all night long. It’s especially nice to put the hot stone in the bed about an hour before retiring. Gets the bed super-warm.
Some people fill empty water bottles with hot water and put those at the foot of the bed.
I wear socks to bed.
Jarek,
A gallon of propane has approx. 90,000BTU. Look at your heater, it will be listed at a BTU rating…usually per hour. Do da math….
But he’ll probably be buying it in twenty lb. tanks. How many btu’s is that? This maff stuff is hard!
Thanks Eli. That’s helpful. Sorry about Selma, both Alabama and Hayek.
Propane lasts until the tank goes empty.
Tanks come in different sizes.
A Ukrainian woman I chat with online has vanished for the time being. The website says “No electricity in Ukraine. Your posts will be responded to when power is restored.”
I buy seeds from a seed company in Ukraine–Nikitovka Seeds. Their website is still up, and it looks like their location is in the suburbs of Kiev.
The hell you say. What about the TRANSFER TO RENEWABLEs, THE EV REVOLUTION, & the BRIGHT GREEN UTOPIA I read about every day in the Guardian and Atlantic?
Sophisticated, lethal US weaponry abandoned in Afghanistan & provided to Ukraine is beginning to turn up in hot spots across the world in the hands of rebel armies, criminal gangs, and terror cells. Thanks Uncle Sam! Ukraine is wrecked; it has no Navy or Air Force, and the Ukrainian Army is being pounded into fine powder by Russian Artillery. To continue this war is criminal; Ukraine has lost, and lost badly. Where is the $105 billion. Does anybody know?
At least part of it went up Zelensky’s nose.
I wonder if he shared any with Hunter Biden?
Who nose?
Me thinks once the ground freezes up the real fun begins.
My guess is that the fun begins the day after Christmas.
For that reason I’m going to refill my propane tank a little bit early. Goin’ long on Parmesan cheese too.
Surely most of the $105,000,000,000 is by now in numbered bank accounts in the world’s tax havens?
There was a 2011 book ‘Treasure Islands’ on roughly how they work. The City of London wouldn’t at all accept that it’s a tax haven, but it seems to be the centre of the operation.
See The Spider’s Web: Britain’s Second Empire.
Brilliant documentary on the growth of tax havens after WW2.
I have a copy of ‘Treasure Islands … ‘ Basically it’s the continuation of colonialism by other means. There was a chapter on France, one on Britain, one on the US – I forget the rest. Excellent book, though. There’s a revised version, which I have on my Kindle but haven’t got round to reading.
Thanks for the heads up re The Spider’s Web, islander.
Much $ into the DNC
Did they put a hand down between the cushions?
Some lights go out….some lights go on…..something’s never change.
With the country on the verge of a crack-up, one of the most important unanswered questions is: How do we get rid of the 100 million or more legal and illegal immigrants in our midst? It gets messy when you have to break up families, but we can’t support that many beggars, or on the other end, foreigners who steal the dwindling number of decent jobs.
“How do we get rid of the 100 million or more legal and illegal immigrants in our midst?”
Start with the illegals.
Low-hanging fruit.
Freedom begins between the ears – and in the heart as well. Hsin or heart/mind as the Chinese say.
Break up families? Which ones, ours or theirs?
You want America to be free, prosperous and happy? Here’s the secret: We matter. They don’t.
Back when America worked – that was the secret motto inscribed on White hearts and minds.
And YES, the Left knows this and that’s why they hate us. The Right doesn’t love itself enough to know its own history. And wouldn’t be able to accept it (believe me, I know) even if it was presented to them. Too sentimental and weak. Too Christian but not really since they just want to keep on watching football and buying things. They like the Black players! Normalcy bias to the max. Prognosis? Terminal.
Huh, haven’t you heard? The 100 million illegals are scheming to get rid of you, and they are backed by a major US political party.
I’m well aware. I’ve been a VDare supporter since the organization was founded and I was reading Sam Francis columns when I was 10 years old.
VDare…isn’t that named after the (supposedly) first white ‘American’ to be born in the US? Surely that makes her your very own ‘anchor baby’?
No, we are living on conquered land. The new people don’t even have to conquer us, since our leaders are giving it away to them.
Virginia Dare.
Thanks for that explanation.
My prediction is that a horrifically cold winter in Europe, along with lack of the basic things you need in order to live, stuff like food, fuel, clothing etc. – will encourage a lot of the darker skinned “southern people” in Europe to go back home to where they came from. A place where it’s warmer and where there’s at least a bit of food. Maybe even some employment.
For the USA it won’t be so easy. Unless of course, living conditions here deteriorate to the point that it’s better in Central and South America. Then all of our southern invaders might also pack up and go south looking for better opportunities. That’s the reason they came here in the first place. If things get back enough, they’ll pack up and go back home.
If by “better opportunities” you mean “free stuff,” then we are in agreement.
MD3 – no, “better opportunities” means things like education, a job with some level of legal protections and the chance to “make good” with one’s talents. Like those who colonised the British Empire (including America), there was bugger-all “free stuff” back then, and, as I understand it (at least where I live) there’s not much “free stuff” for immigrants until they’re citizens. Can’t speak for where you live, but it’s mischaracterising to state that immigrants only want “free stuff”, which is you saying you don’t like anyone else getting anything you have to pay for.
There was a lot of free land.
.pewresearch.org/hispanic/2015/11/19/more-mexicans-leaving-than-coming-to-the-u-s/
Of course, the US makes up for that by importing people south of Mexico’s border and Africans (who we are told walk to the US because……freedom.)
It’s too much work to pack up and go back home. And it doesn’t make sense when the “better opportunities” are right next door with your native European neighbors.
My prediction – I hadn’t planned to make one, but I can’t help myself – is that that cold winter will cause those innocent asylum-seekers to go apeshit on their neighbors to secure the necessary food, fuel, clothing, cars, housing, booze, white women, etc.
And the woked-up police will shoot the man attempting to defend his home from the blessings of diversity.
Mr. Kunstler, writes again,
just the facts, ma’am, just the facts.
i’m thinking of not voting again. i’ve voted in every possible election — municipal, state, national — my entire life.
it’s broken. and it isn’t going to be fixed until our entire theory of government is replaced.
i could care less who wins georgia run-off.
in fact, a dem victory may hasten the sorry end of D.C., as our rulers disobey the taoist maxim:
To know when is enough, is enough to know.
Most of all the discussion about how to fix the USA is a waste of time. You can’t fix something that’s already been totalled and basically written off. There are no people in the central government that are qualified to be leaders and statesmen. Instead what we have are just parasites and career criminals. Hell, look at their faces. Look at all the unhealthy bags of fat hanging off the moronic baby face of Mitch McConnell. You call that creature a man? I don’t. Look at Pelosi or Maxine Waters. These people look retarded and sick, And they talk the way they look.
There’s only one way out of this mess, and that’s secession. And that’s the word that still scares everybody because they know darn well what it means. Secession means growing up and making it on your own without the federal nanny running things. Secession will mean experiencing poverty until you get your new state up and running. That’s why poverty must come first before secession. After serious poverty becomes a middle class lifestyle we’ll have nothing more left to lose. Then and only then would we vote for secession, we would at that point all understand that we can’t afford to support both a central federal government and our state and local governments. The resources won’t exist to support both. The state and local governments will be the only agencies left that understand what needs to be done locally to avoid going all the way down to rock bottom and living in a Road Warrior movie.
Comment of the year. That’s what it will take. I, for one, will scream if I hear one more “conservative” idiot say, “We’ll get ’em in 2024!” It’s done. Now let the divorce begin.
Why pretend anymore that we’re the United States of America? It’s an experiment which failed. I’m all in for secession.
This is partially what I mean when discussing parallel economies and societies.
I think this is the way we are going around the world. Not sure how else the globo-fascists can be dealt with. Too much infiltration, political systems, government and academic institutions, etc., around the world have been infiltrated and subverted.
@ Woodchuck:
I too see secession as the only option.
Unfortunately, the immediate economic results would be absolutely devastating. In my state, a huge percentage of the population relies on Social Security, Disability, welfare, food stamps, Medicare, and Medicaid–even in the country. It’s at least that bad in the cities, and probably worse.
Secession would mean that the federal government would probably cut off all of the above.
Back when I used to go to our local book club, I noticed that most of the members were retired from government jobs, and I think most of them were federal government jobs. Much of the rural middle class is made up of government employees/retirees at some level of government. Health care (government subsidized) accounts for quite a high percentage of local employment. One of our area’s bigger employers is Lake City Arsenal, where government contractors manufacture munitions for the federal government. One local engineering firm gets most of its business from municipalities, designing infrastructure projects. Every working farm in this area receives ag subsidies.
With secession, most of this employment and the attendant cash flow goes away, and I don’t see any way to employ all these people, at least in the short term. I guess the state could afford to give everybody 40 acres and a mule–and a used trailer, so they wouldn’t have to live under a tarp at their new location.
Secession sounds good. Our federal government has outlived its usefulness. But…
How will 3 or 4 or 6 post-US statelets stand up against the globalists when even the once-mighty US of A couldn’t? What kind of economic, military, or diplomatic leverage will the new nations of “Heartland”, “Deseret”, “Rustbelt”, or “Biblebelt”, etc. wield?
The globalists need a fragmented US. Secession would accomplish that. So would attempts at secession crushed by the feds, with UN assistance if necessary.
“Have Americans grokked that virtually all of the mis-and-dis-information bombarding them lo these many years actually comes from the government and the news media channels that serve it?”
And it’s all been made LEGAL to do so.
“What we’ve got now in this country is a Mind-Fuckery Industrial Complex waging a psy-ops war on the people of this land. Why is that?”
Because We the People are seen by The Predator Class as worthless nothings put on this Earth to serve as tax donkeys and clowns for Them. And The Preds don’t want to have to try to herd us cats because it’s so much easier to just lie to us and break our spirit and have us accept our dehumanization and servitude status.
“Covid-19, surely released on-purpose, was, as Ed Dowd avers, a cover for global bankruptcy…. lockdowns, vaxx mandates, vaxx passports, and all.”
This was a testy run for the full-on day-to-day operational status of The New One World Order that was promised to us decades ago by Bush The First and other lackey perps.
“… USA is now heading south toward breakdown and ruin.”
To Everything… Turn, Turn, Turn…
There is a Season… Turn, Turn, Turn…
The Indispensable Nation is headed for the Social, Political, and Cultural Fix-It and Salvage Yard. But there are no replacement parts available and anyone who knows how to fix anything has either retired or become deceased from The Kill Shot.
“Western Civ is, after all, a kind of family. And now the family is disintegrating…”
Most families are at their heart dysfunctional. They are held together by a shared genetics and often very little beyond that. Western Civ was always one or two main bully powers and a host of obedient followers. And as cultural observers in history have noted… most civilizations rot from within and not from outside.
“For us that means Washington DC sinks into irrelevance while the states, or perhaps mere parts of the states, have to take charge of their own affairs.”
When an animal is injured or fears for its existence it becomes most dangerous. We can’t assume some fairly quiet disintegration here. They may just tear down or burn the house before They would ever admit failure or cede power.
“Some lights go out, but others get turned on.”
The problem today is that many on Planet Earth like living in darkness. That’s all they know… and Light scares them. The future may be so bright that we all ‘need to wear shades’… but many will just try to knock all the bulbs out of the sockets and slink back into their safety and pathology and shared Wokeness of the dark.
The New World Order proclaimed by Bush the First was the USA ruling over the rest of the world with Full Spectrum Dominance.
We have actually been living in that New World Order for the last 30 years.
What we are living through now is the END of that New World Order, with the rebellion of those countries who were ordered to be subservient, but are now standing up and flipping the bird to our overlords.
and who rules the USA? I ask you that.
Paula D: “The New World Order proclaimed by Bush the First was the USA ruling over the rest of the world with Full Spectrum Dominance… What we are living through now is the END of that New World Order…”
That was what Bush The Elder THOUGHT the New World Order was going to be. USA! USA! USA! But he and others were being conned by the true NWO which was far above their pay level. The true NWO are those who control the World’s finances over the centuries and who plan the destiny for all humanity in the dark corners of their think-tank lackeys and Dark-Side-theology worshiping minds and fallen spirits.
It’s not just We the People who are being lied to. Many of the lackey robots who cheerfully promote the NWO will not gain the benefits and status they thought they were personally due and owed for being useful idiot promoters of the Dark. They are being lied to as well.
nice, RBShaman.
we may fall into the “Great Man” stage of decline. and that will be worse than a simple smash-up.
in recent times, the Great Man would include stalin, hitler of course, mussolini, yelensky, napoleon, lincoln (who stopped our natural evolution into regional coherence).
trudeau up at bat now, busy giving canada away to WEF and the chinese.
idiot robot biden, is much too small to be a “Great Man.” he’s more like a retarded pyromaniac.
niner: “we may fall into the “Great Man” stage of decline. and that will be worse than a simple smash-up. in recent times, the Great Man would include stalin, hitler of course, mussolini, yelensky, napoleon, lincoln…”
When problems seem insurmountable and answers seem empty and absent… along comes ‘The Savior!’ notion. One man who will magically and miraculously emerge to solve all of our problems and save us from certain ruin.
But this childish notion has some serious flaws. First, it is overly simplistic thinking akin to believing in some kind of magic fairy who will wave a wand and the problems will quickly disappear. And secondly, it is cheap and lazy thinking. Cheap and lazy because we look for someone else to do the hard work. We get to wash our hands and become the innocent child who runs to the hug of some Big Daddy Savior figure who is more than eager to use our immaturity and lack of agency to become a Dictator for his purposes.
The more complex and ominous the times, the greater is the desire for quick and easy and simple answers. We wait for our milk and cookies and kiss goodnight from our Daddy Savior as he is stealing all the house furniture and turning loose his inner tyrant.
The lower classes are utterly lost without the attention, care, compassion, and love of the higher. In the West, all of that is siphoned off to minorities.
The Great Man? The One on the White Horse? He is desperately needed. We can but wait for Him and prepare, making smooth his path, both objectively and subjectively. When He appears, will you answer His call?
Or deny Him in some adolescent fantasy of independence?
I think that people who await a savior (like Musk, Trump, Putin, etc.) to come to their rescue are as deluded as those who blame their sorry state in life on someone other than themselves.
In other words, Kesa should have been allowed to chain smoke at 7.
And Kids should be able to sign contracts, take adult lovers, and change their sex at that age.
There is no Society! No we! only individuals and the State as the enforcer of contracts.
You talkin’ to me?
Or are you In Other Words-ing yourself this time?
Find the mirror and climb back through it. Sounds like things have gone batshit crazy over there.
I agree, Brezhnev should have intervened to keep Kesa from chain smoking. But Tricky Dick had seduced him with détente and he didn’t want to play the stereotypical commie bad guy on the world stage. The girl or the country? Whatever you do, it’s wrong.
LIbertarianism is a mind virus – just like Communism and Feminism. Zero tolerance for things like this. They must be stamped out utterly.
USA and w Europe are treading the same path it seems. If they falter and fall, which one of them rises like a Phoenix first?
–INQ Minds.
It looks like the plan is for the USA to cannibalize Europe’s economy and strong-arm them into forking over what cash they have for energy.
But then there is the force of geography. The USA cannot create a barrier between Europe and the East. In fact, the USA is behind a gigantic barrier, the Atlantic Ocean. I just don’t see this “North Atlantic” idea as surviving genuine existential challenges.
Proximity and contiguity are going to become more and more important, as Europeans “remember” that they can take the train to Russia, or Turkey, to warm up for a few days . . .
Yeah, the US is wooing both German and Taiwanese capitalists into moving their factories here. Stripping their countries of industrial capacity like the US was stripped pf ours in the 80s.
Sure, we have plenty of oil to run your factories, Germany! Trust us!
And sure we have plenty of water to run a semi-conductor factory in Arizona, Taiwan! Trust us!
Paula,
We have a plan.

Omigod. Just like blowing up the Nordstream pipelines.
What did Kissinger say? It’s bad to be an enemy of the US, but it’s worse to be an ally.
These Know-it-All’s have lost touch with how life or business works.
suddenly, just-in-time globalist manufacturing, and then disbursing the entire manufacturing supply chain — even little itty-bitty parts — all over the globe, doesn’t seem like such a good idea.
theoretical efficiencies versus the nation-state.
this was not ever about manufacturing efficiencies, or the old disproven theory of comparative advantage.
it was always an attack by the globalists on the nation-state.
Yes niner, Dimtri Orlov pointed that out a long time ago.
When the USSR was destroyed they still had a lot of stuff laying around.
He pointed out that the US and its “Just in time” scarcity would not do well after the crash.
As we agreed last week, hoarders are going to do better after the crash.
Too bad the US gave that up a long time ago.
Not only do we not store parts and equipment, all of our parts and equipment are shitty and/or disposable, instead of sturdy and long-lasting.
you’ve been on fire recently, Paula. excellent comments.
Orlov made many trenchant observations about how the old commie russia was better and smarter and more survivable than the USA if there would be a serious crisis.
Orlov and saker and martyanov and other expat’s sometimes said they loved the US. but i always thought they didn’t like us very much.
either that, or the russian cultural habit of constant critique just found a new target.
but i always thought Orlov owed us big time, after Mike Ruppert took him in and gave him his start.
still, looking at us through critical russian eyes is a valuable perspective on our weaknesses.
Well, apparently INTEL seems to think so. They plan to invest 20-100Billion in Ohio and 20 Billion in Arizona. They say it is going to be the world’s largest chip making complex.
A bit jarring? Yes.
PS
Intel also says it will retake ‘process performance leadership’ by 2025 beating Taiwan and China.
They will make Angstrom scale Chips using Machines from the Netherlands
Or Hungary…
Yes, Hungary!
I have been eyeing Hungary myself.
To Relocate??
Just a thought . . .
No migrant hordes, and there is the wonderful Danube flowing through . . .
Not easy to leave a homeland. But if compelled, I’d settle on Brazil, the USA of South America.
Yup. I think the plan (our dear departed Rednut requested that we call it “the Plan” or maybe even The Plan!) is to break Europe until they can be absorbed into Eurasia.
Once the US has been abandoned, neutered, impoverished, the fragmented pieces (farmland! oil! ingredients for Soylent Green!) will be swept into China’s tent.
I don’t get why anyone spends time thinking or writing about “Rednut.”
this is the Satanic New World Order- it’s not communism. it’s worse. It is tyrannical imperialism where the proletariat don’t have a means of production, let alone own one, where they eat children for their adrenochrome “fix me”, and worship their Orion masters.
These people, if you can call them people, or let’s call them what the military calls them: EBEs (extraterrestrial biological entities) are ghouls of the 33° and our saviour is on the way? perhaps. We won’t know for sure until he arrives in his all white TR-3B antigravity vessel. craft. thing.
What about nano-tech? Who developed it? Or was it a “gift” from the ET’s?
a gift. just like mRNA tech and all those Ukrainian “bio labs” owned by Clonaid™? that the Russians blew up. Wouldn’t some power hungry humans love to get their dirty little hands on that!
Notice the AZOVs wear the black sun emblems- it’s in the background of their official military emblem.
All gifted from the black sun empire, and it keeps on giving. (well, not REALLY gifted, let’s say transacted- yes, transacted is much better descriptor).
What do the aliens want from us? Anything?
One remembers the scene in Independence Day where they ask the imprisoned alien what they can do for “him”. He replies, Die.
A pretty dumb movie but a great scene.
They want our blood. we are food. it’s adrenochrome and it’s ongoing, they can’t subsist from a single dose.
So the reptilian paradigm of David Icke?
Maybe they want “loosh.”
it seems that actual slavery, or term-contract-slavery, which is being practiced right now in huge parts of the world (africa & mideast), will be one of the main bases of trade with non-terrestrials, and perhaps already is, if we can believe the reports of millions and millions of people disappearing without a trace.
where money fails, then there is only barter and charity, war, tribal giftings, and slavery.
slavery is a major trade item back to our earliest recorded history, and before that, earliest myths.
we never stamped it out all over the earth, just abated it for several hundred years in western civ. locations.
Shame on you (again…) Jaros for perpetuating the ET myth. You know most UnitedStatesians have minds of Jell-O into which you can stick anything.
Nanotech, the pyramids, Sacsayhuaman (and all that other Andean megalithic stuff) were all built by human beings, Homo sapiens, constrained by the same laws of physics as we are.
We don’t know everything. We just think we do.
You are quite right Blackbird: we don’t know everything.
Especially physics.
kimmasad01 – that’s all just plain crazy-nuts, but I suspect you know that, right? If you actually BELIEVE it, well…too sad.
Musk in revolt is like a drag queen story hour with John Wayne Gacy. But America deserves what it gets. Money is all and Musk has it. That makes him smart here. All it takes.
Your liberal tribe has been exposed as the ghouls they are.
How is Mr Puppy doing? Have you heard anything?
We have to destroy Democracy to save Democracy – as in the Democrat Party. You are the Science! You have the tech as the Scientologists say.
Science is no match for your troll army.
Yes, we’re back. A growing power. Ye is our leader or one of them. Racists? That’s one of the “olds”. This is the new and improved White Nationalism. All noble men of any and all races are called to stand with us under our Aegis.
You didn’t deny the charges leveled btw.
Jumpin’ Jesus Jar-Jar! Kenya (thank you Alba!) is your leader? Maybe you and Andy should cut back on the glue-sniffin’.
There is what he says (“Trump’s cool.” “Jews suck.”). And there is what he does (chasing money and white women). He married a goddamn Kardashian! Ever listen to any of his “music”? Me either…
Blackbird, let’s review who Jar-Jar’s heroes are:
Blaire White
Kanye West
Elon Musk
The Nazi columnist he’s always posting
He ain’t right in the head.
You taunt him about Mr. Puppy when you’re on board with the trans agenda yourself. Hilarious.
yeah but where did Musk get all his money? one day he is sleeping in his car and eating leaves. The next he’s designing electric cars and spaceships.
his mother is Maye Hadleman.
bitch, pleeze
Musk’s engineers design electric cars and spaceships. Musk himself chases pussy. Like Amber Heard. He has been there and done that.
As to his fortune. With his brother, Musk founded Zip2, an online alternative to yellow pages. (Google would not launch until 1998.) He sold it for over $300 million in 1999 to Compaq Computer.
Once in that kind of money club money almost makes itself.
Owning Americas’ space program gives a financial freedom to buy a business for over forty billion that would take a hundred years to return half of that. Musk will never get his money back owning Twitter. If you think he will I hope you don’t manage your own finances without a lot of help.
Twitter is not worth five bucks to every man woman and child on the planet. No way. But Musk is on the money train for life, he can afford to make stupid mistakes.
Men like Musk achieve success with a large host of people whose contributions go unrecognized. Other men with small minds imagine the success of such men is due to special talent and character, the legion of help these men get is ignored.
“Twitter is not worth five bucks to every man woman and child on the planet.”
Let’s discuss this after the devaluation.
He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. In South Africa. He had a nanny, etc. He has never been poor.
so he got it from his parents?
I doubt that.
a billionaire is not made from one’s parents, neither is he made from less than one half of one percent of the market share for his product that he didn’t have a hand in designer-ship.
I’m not trying to criticize him, or maybe i am. I just find his title of “richest man in the world” extremely dubious given his background, his education and his rank amongst amongst the 33° Freemason elite cabal.
we know who holds the real title of richest man (men) in the world. and they live in the shadows, they rig elections, they start extra judicial wars funding both sides, they create pandemics and they own the death shot makers. and in this case they buy and sell men like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, SBF, the Google twins. . . .
So who are they?
Names, please!!
He couldn’t do it without his connections.
None of them have. It’s a myth that there are self-made billionaires.
Musk is too magical. Too many outrageous successes in too many fields to be real. I’ve seen him talk on Joe Rogan. He ain’t that smart. He couldn’t explain his Neuralink, or how it will free us from (or how it is any different than) the New World Order/Great Reset/Transhumanism. He just acted all stoned – which is enough to get the stoner vote!
BB, just like the FTX guy… they are puppets, fronting for big laundering enterprises.
As the saying goes: any behavior you want to see more of, just reward it.
Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day. I really look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens, who, reading newspapers, live and die in the belief that they have known something of what has been passing in the world.
Thomas Jefferson~ Letter to John Norvell, June 14, 1807
Imagine what TJ would say about videos on You Tube and Rumble. A thousand newsrooms repeat the same corporate and government approved memo every day. Now truth hides behind gorilla glass and makes apes of us all.
Good. Jefferson had most of the right answers. If you find yourself on the opposite side from him, you’re probably wrong.
Now quote what he said about Blacks and what Whites need to do about them.
Ah, if only we had a statesmen like him in charge now to deal with the energy crisis and the way forward.
Most but not all the right answers.
Sally Hemings lived with Jefferson in Paris, as a free woman, slavery was illegal in France. She made Mr. Thomas happy.
She returned a slave under the condition her children would be freed upon turning 21. Which turned out to be their children.
So what were you saying?
K-C,
No, what are YOU saying?
This is all old news.
Your point?
Even if true (some say it was his brother), that not what he recommended for America. Judge Garrity of Boston sent his daughter to a private school while ruling in favor of bussing for public school students.
Soooo – does the first fact disprove the second? No, Garrity was a hypocrite but a proud one. When asked, He gave no apology saying that as a father he would do what was best for his daughter.
Don’t lose the thread. We’re still talking about Jefferson. In terms of your comment, you just insinuated that a personal decision was his public policy. it was not.
Jefferson is damaged goods. Heavenly words, hellish acts. Let’s not assume how he would break on today’s political pool table.
But yeah, for all his flaws, we haven’t had a President who came up to his kneecaps since… Jackson (for all his flaws).
Then leave. America is conquered land. You’re too good to be here. Go back to Europe and become a Muslim.
We took this continent by storm. Just as the Saxons took England.
My husband listens to NPR every weekday and then tells me the propaganda of the day.
He reports that today’s “news” did not mention the bombshell release of Twitter files showing that its “content moderators” (censurers) and the DNC colluded to interfere with the election by stomping on the First Amendment rights of free speech and freedom of the press guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. It was studiously avoided.
Instead they reported on a trial in NY City of a Trump corporation.
They ignored the child sexual abuse uncovered by the Balenciaga scandal, but they did report on the Weinstein Sex For Jobs involving adult women) trial.
They reported on the horror of a woman web designer in Colorado being sued because she who won’t work for gay couples, but have never mentioned the women prisoners in the US who have violent men “identifying” themselves into their cells.
Oh, and they reported on the price cap the EU put on the oil they are boycotting as if it were a reasonable proposal, although in the service of reporting ”both sides” they did mention that there are those who do not think it will work.
Yeah that EU price cap on Russian oil ($65 per barrel?) seems like a self defeating move. What’s the point? Russia isn’t going to sell any oil at below market rates. Europe is just making its energy situation worse than it already is.
Too many finger in the pie.
* fingers
I think it’s hilarious that they announce they are not buying any Russian oil (because Putin Bad Man) AND they will not pay more than $60 a barrel, to boot.
If you are complaining about grocery prices, try that on them.
“I refuse to pay more than $100 for this $200 grocery price tag”.
Or, since they say they are “boycotting” the oil, try standing outside a grocery store that you don’t even frequent and yelling “All groceries are half price”.
That should work.
Russia is not going to sell any oil to ANY country that participates in this childish charade.
I kind of love the idea, though.
I see a house I want and I tell the owner how much he has to sell it to me for! Bwa ha ha!
That is the lever that EU “leaders” are operating on.
level
I like that idea too, but…
It will mean higher heating prices and less available (and more expensive) food for me.
I’m on your side Vlad! (The smashing NATO part.) Cut me some slack. A little dacha on the Crimea would be a nice start.
I watched a Jimmy Dore episode last night where he showed the women on The View talking about Balenciaga. How does anyone watch that show? In any case, when one woman would start to talk about how yicky Balenciaga was for the ads, this other woman (clearly the designated imbecile) would butt in and start talking about the real offense was how ugly some of their new products are. I kid you not!
Script by CIA, no doubt…
Wow, that is horrific. She is probably a participant in the rituals.
No doubt! Paid handsomely to steer everyone away from any focusing on the pedo aspect.
Each day is getting more difficult to maintain myself around others, I am such an emotional wreck anymore.
I don’t have anyone that I can open up to about all of the stuff brought up in this forum. I’ve worked with a guy now for three years that I really like but unfortunately he is still stuck in the MSM zone. I was more that guy when I met him, but everything has changed for me in the last year and a half. So I don’t even bring any of it up.
My roommate just follows social media and also lives in a sort of liberal framework. He and my coworker are both smart so I don’t know how they can be so completely unaware.
The other day I had a terrible reminder of my own death flash over me, you know that feeling, where you start shouting just to block the thought away. But it made me think of how we use distraction to avoid that reality, and it must be the same thing. The real truth is so horrible that for most people they simply can’t accept it.
Once a week, a friend comes over to spend the night with me. She’s now no longer getting covid shots, but she’s had 2 and a booster. I just saw a video about shedding to the unvaxxed and it’s so depressing…
FUCK!!!!!
What I do is respond whenever anyone throws msm bullshit at me.
I let them know exactly where they are wrong and what are the actual facts and I present them with evidence that I assign them to study.
They learn not to bring it up anymore and life becomes more pleasant.
“Once a week, a friend comes over to spend the night with me.”
The risk is worth it. Besides, she will only shed the Vax to you if she is married and cheating.
Get some quercetin and zinc and start taking them as a prophylactic against shedding.
Might want to add ivermectin to the mix at 0.2 mg.kg, possibly 0.4 mg/kg. Frequency is of some debate, at least twice/week, maybe a little more frequent. one difficulty is it is observational and the event is still unwinding.
Also, quercetin and ivermectin don’t play very well together, the q interferes with the i. Answer is to takes them at different times to minimize the issue. Look it up, pls, don’t just take my word for it.
I recommend everyone to read Real Anthony Fauci by Bobby Kennedy Jr. On chapther 3 he explains how Ivermectin could have saved 80 percent of deaths Worldwide. This book have opened my eyes. I now know that, 90% of all medicine is not for anything else than profit for them. Low profit and effective medicines are bashed and marketed as ineffective because they go against their narrative and profit plans. One of them is wonder drug Ivermectin. I see that everyday people search for it but can’t find a place to obtain. You can get yours by visiting getmeivm.com
Outstanding book. Didn’t have the impact I hoped it would, but that isn’t RFK, Jr’s fault. At least it’s out there for the record so historians can see how we got effed on this plan-damn-demic.
Ania K. on the YouTube channel, “Through the eyes of…” has just posted a video where she discusses an article in the Polish media that calls out the 200k conscription number and what conscripts can expect when they are called up.
These lunatics really are going to fight to the last European.
The Pollack jokes are going to begin again… :/
They never should have stopped!
My heritage is half-Polish, which means I’m perpetually confused!
Same, hahaha!
Poles are a strange animal.
In Zooropa, they seem to play the role of hyena (c.f. Kipling, Dugin, Putin).
In the upper midwest, the Polish genetic contribution resulted in the prettiest of females and the dumbest of males (based on my life-long experiences in that geographic area – may have had a lot to do Polish with inbreeding with the existing French-Canadiens).
Anyway, just about anybody deserves a place to live. Maybe we should import the Poles over here – Dee-Troit could surely use such an influx – and let Germany and Russia be neighbors again.
I went to hear Lech Walesa speak in Chicago, and a lot of Polish men came up to talk to me, assuming I was Polish, and could speak the language. It was kind of a trip.
Yep. They want a wider European war. Meaning, NATO vs Russia since Poland is NATO. And Poland is so chummy with the US State Dept that Antony Blinken almost always gives the Poles the benefit of a reach-a-round after bending them over.
Western Intelligence (Ha) knows that Russia is planning their biggest military incursion when the ground freezes. Probably January. I bet this is why Poland has been told to mobilize forces now.
I’m betting December 26 – let the Ukies have their Papist Anti-Christ Christmas.
Over by January 6 – Orthodox Christmas.
(Vlad, I’m not asking for much. A modest dacha on the Crimea and a life-long subscription to DCS – plus all the necessary hardware. And ummm, is it cool if I grow my own weed?)
I just don’t understand why these dipshits don’t hire me to plot out their strategy.
Some Lights Go Out, Some Lights Go On.
Despite knowing an energy crisis was coming, government ducked the issue. Hoping future clever people would plug the energy gap.
We are these future people. Cleverness is nowhere to be found.
Hope is a very bad thing.
Now Lights Go Out.
It’s manufactured.
Like your world view.
For the first time in quite a while I picked up a few items at Amazon/Wholefoods. I couldn’t help but notice that they have the palm scan option working for payment now.
When the new digital ‘legal’ currency is fully operational this will be the method of preferred payment just about everywhere, I predict. (Eventually it will be required). Just put your right hand on the scanner please.
If for some reason you can use your palms, I’m sure eventually they’ll have a retinal scanner option for your conveeeeenience.
Hmmmmm……this sounds ‘familiar’ somehow. Buying and selling with your right hand or your ‘forehead’.
Yep. This is how they’re gonna do it. And it’s all tied in with your ‘number’. You know, that number. The one you have had to have since FDR in order to get a job, open a bank account, apply for a college, apply for a mortgage, etc….
Which will be tied in with your CBDC account. Or in truth, identity.
“Let him who hath understanding reckon……”
If for some reason you cannot use your palms. (Correction)
This is quite disturbing, indeed. Of course it would be Bezos’ stores that are already ahead of the gang.
This particular Amazon/Wholefoods store has lots of well to do Moms as clientele. Most of these Moms are probably married to guys in the tech industry. Pretty well off. I was wondering how many of them by children’s clothes from Balenciaga? Or that other perverted high end clothing Euro trash line.
I know these high end Austin Moms are all in with everything that is hipster and hot. One hundred percent vaxx rate, loved the masks, love Beto, and just loooooove the new palm scanners.
BLARFFFFFFF
And, who is STUPID enough to just volunteer their hand print for the PTB???
Insane. Wow.
Well, I’m sure at Wholefoods it is just tied in with their Amazon Prime account for now.
Oh wait…..
They’re so stupid they voluntarily do all this stuff, just because it’s what TRUMPERS wouldn’t do. That’s the extent of their thinking about poisoning themselves and giving up their DNA and hand prints. Probably facial recognition is next.
Yup.
And that’s why I say that Trump’s mission was to sow division. “If Trump is against it, we’re for it!” – no matter how stupid “it” is.
Travel internationally? There’s a good chance your retina scan is already in Interpol’s database (like mine).
In and out of a US port? TWIC card and your fingerprints (like mine).
Tested for “Covid”. Your DNA (not this time you fuckers!). (But they probably have it from some other source.)
And (I’d guess) 40% of the US supports this crackdown on “those guys!”.
Is Iran weakening? Going down into the darkness of letting women do what they want?
And we all knows what that means…..
Oh shut up
You like strong women. You follow them like a stray dog.
Strong men like strong women. What’s that saying about water seeking its own level?
Weak mewling incels like weak women who buckle under. And even those women reject them eventually.
It’s obvious which one you are.
No, men don’t like women who act like men. Why doesn’t that outrage you? You can’t stand Blaire White but what about dykes who feel compelled to dress and act like thuggish men?
Strong in a feminine way is a very different thing, Mary.
“Strong woman” doesn’t mean acting like a man.
What a weird conclusion to draw.
I assume you’re talking about butch lesbians, or just butches. Born that way, not ‘acting.’ Blaire White is acting, and LARPing.
I’m not surprised you don’t understand this though, being so removed from any ability to understand humans or human nature.
I’m not surprised you adore Blaire though, because you hate actual women, but love a man pretending to be one. Maybe you can find relationship bliss with a LARPer performing womanhood as you haven’t been able to with a real one.
So women who “larp” as men are fine and “born that way”, but men who larp as women are scum.
That makes sense from you pov since you hate men and love women. The former can do no right and the latter can do no wrong.
I don’t hate women per se, just bitches. Even dykes are better. And since many women are bitches now – well so it goes.
No butches are calling themselves men.
I guess you’re confused. They are all woman. They’d be the first ones to tell you that.
It’s odd you think women are born to wear high heels and make-up. The vast majority don’t. We wear flannel shirts and blue jeans and work boots most of the time.
More proof you’ve somehow managed to never be out in the real world, or you’d already know this.
So you like Butches, but not men? Even though they look and act like men? Does that make much sense? No.
Or are you saying you’re a butch too? Ridiculous. You are very feminine in a really bad way.
And you expect me to be attracted to strong women – as in butches? Sadly, some of them are heterosexual and I have been hit on by them occasionally. No thanks!
Butches don’t act like men. I’m not sure how you don’t understand this. They act like themselves. You are trapped in the mindset created by socially constructed gender performing roles.
Being a strong woman has nothing to do with being butch.
But you already know that.
I’m gonna call b.s. on any woman every hitting on you.
“ever”
The real ones do. The ones with the broad faces, broad shoulders, and deep voices. Obviously fake butches like you don’t.
Nature has a lot of variety in it. One of the Leftist ideas with a bit of truth to it: Gender is a spectrum. Nature also makes mistakes. Paula (the ex-nurse!) was talking as if development could never go wrong. Pure ignorance.
A big butch did hit on me. Actually touched me on the bus. I got very angry. She was crushed. I felt sad for her. She avoided me after that.
Jarek, living out his fantasies up here on CFN.
“Is Iran weakening?”
Of course.
All national identity must be destroyed. All religious identity must be destroyed. We must be reduced to a world of helpless, selfish, hedonistic, sexually-obsessed-but-sexually-confused individuals.
So let’s fight in the weeds while we are napalmed from above.
Yes, your LIbertarianism leads to this as surely as Communism, being but the opposite side of the same materialistic coin.
The Masters have you folks well in hand. What they fear is Fascism (Russia) or National Socialism (China). They hate MAGA as a return to American Fascism.
My Libertarianism? Oh, I see, you’re talking to that strawman again…
Libertarians don’t want business regulated. I do. From almost no regulation at the individual/family business level, to potentially regulated out of existence at the upper level (e.g., oil companies: too important to the national interest to be left in the hands of private capital).
I don’t think you make a people moral by sheltering them from temptation. I don’t think you can make a people moral, period.
You can and must (at least outwardly)
Fear and shame are the guardians of the world.

Well the grrrreeeeeaaaatt roll out of Twitter’s misbehavior by Musk via Taibbi last Friday night is a big dud.
MaryQ’s prediction was correct.
Of course it’s hard to make a splash when the MSM ignores the story. And I still don’t think it helped that it was done of Friday night.
Which was probably Musk’s plan all along.
He’s a phony. A Trojan Horse. A counter intelligence walking talking, mostly talking, program.
Sorry culties. Your hero is shiite.
People keep wanting someone in power to make a big splash and are convinced ONE person with tons of $$ can just turn the tide with a snap of the fingers, like in the movies we’ve all been programmed by since birth. I don’t blame people for falling for it, I sure used to. I just stopped.
Well that’s the whole point: the Mainstream Media is shit and we need alternatives. Of course they’re going to ignore it if they can. But somehow you’re using that as a metric of the value of releasing the twitter files?
That’s twisted, or perhaps more accurately, circular since the files reveal just that.
Dude, will you listen to yourself?
Notice how pissed off some people here get when you remind them who Musk’s allegiance is to.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Always shooting the messenger.
The Real ID thing is pushed back 2 years, is this good news or bad?
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/real-id-deadline-for-air-travelers-extended-by-2-years/
I say good news.
Looking at the documentation requirements NY state wants to issue a Real ID-compliant license, it’s not worth the time and effort.
They want you to bring your current license, a W2 with your SSN, a bank statement, a utility bill, my passport, and the application for the Real ID enhanced license.
All the enhanced license will do is let you board a domestic flight after the deadline and cross land borders with Canada & Mexico.
Yeah, no thanks. I’m good with my passport.
Also, if they can’t get the sheep to buy into this, how will they get them to buy into the Mark and CBDCs?
Thanks, tcl.
I thought along those same lines, too.
I say “Fake News”.
Of course, but sometimes there is a nugget of truth, such as something made them push it back 2 years…
On Real ID being pushed back that is.
Probably just re-routed onto a hidden detour.
It will be waiting for us, at a roadblock up ahead.
No doubt. Shows their agenda isn’t seamless, though. I like seeing the cracks.
It all starts with the lab-leak, which is why there’ll probably never be a vindication moment because it would be such an olympian change in thought to have to evaluate the entire narrative to realize what that would now actually mean. That conspiracy is suppressed reality, like how comedy is tragedy plus time.
This line seems to encapsulate the whole charade,
‘the vaccines weren’t made for the virus, the virus was made for the vaccines.’
Can the PCR test detect the melting of steel beams?
I grieve on such a personal level anymore because I’m mostly a loner but I can also feel very alone. I have few people in my life that matter to me but I feel so alienated from them with regards to how crazy the narrative that I am obsessively now following vs. the saccharine programmed version they’re still stuck in.
I wish I had the tenacity to argue my redpill truth to them, but the fact is, I need them in my life. I value my relationship that I don’t want to alienate further or cause more tension. It’s not that I wouldn’t stand up for myself or state my true feelings if truly pushed, but that is also the problem, no one really brings any controversial stuff up like that anymore.
Which seems the Brave New World drug and entertainment numbness and compliance coming true, but I am most in dread of the 1984 dystopia where I feel the need for free speech at my core dwindling…
The problem with debating my friends is that they have an a priori smugness stemming from their allegiance to their MSM/social media input that means you start and end in the defensive.
I have an ex rich liberal brief girlfriend that I knew in NYC, she has a family now in downtown Bklyn. I tested her last year on the MSM narrative vs. JHK narrative and she asked if I was now Qanon, even though I (regretfully) voted for Biden.
Maybe you are paying for your sins of being a supporter of the Jacobin Wokies?
Buck up and find similar-minded friends, don’t be lazy and whiny. Life going forward is only going to get more and more difficult. If you are stuck in victim mindset, you won’t make it.
Your friends’ minds are gone. Accept it and move on.
would you be that similar minded friend because sometimes you seem cool on here but sometimes like now you’re a cunt
Haha.
Don’t get depressed, Kornado.
If you get depressed, the terrorists win. Try to laugh at what fools humans are, and take it easy. At least you’re less a fool than many, a little something to be happy about…
He’s screwed.
He bought into the wokie victim mindset, and doesn’t even know it.
Whine whine whine, my friends are all bots! What can I do? But I want to have sex with them and not get infected! Whine whine whine.
Hilarious.
Didn’t read carefully and assumed Kornado was a girl..
I think Kornado is a parody attempt by the esteemed creator of Tekapo and 20 other aliases.
Well it says it has a girl come around once a week for sex, so I assumed a male.
Don’t know many lesbians that roll that way.
Well this explains why your friends don’t listen to you.
I’m guessing it’s the way to talk to them when they don’t agree with you.
you guys use words so easily.
be fun to meet you after there are no rules left
Agree. You’d be the shell-shocked thing cowering in a corner, I would be the person keeping my head and helping you out. Unless you tried to be an asshole, in which case it would be curtains.
Mary q….keep on keeping on with her no-life bombardment of posts. Sad! Fear not though Kornado as Maryq’s finely honed thoughts will act like a surgeon’s scalpel and guide you to dubious glory. LMAO.
Funny when Rednut quits you show up.
Redneck quit? Can’t really blame him.
OK so maybe you can go bye bye as well.
Seizures later! Don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya, etc.
“The problem with debating my friends is that they have an a priori smugness stemming from their allegiance to their MSM/social media input that means you start and end in the defensive. ”
Very well put.
In theory it might be possible to present better information. But the believers are so smugly dismissive and even insulting that one has this double challenge.
Ultimately people have to figure this stuff out by themselves. In fact, an early dissenter might not be the best source of info for them because of resistance.
Look at how Emily Oster “warns” those who were right not to “gloat.” Right there is the perfect exhibit A that people will resist enlightenment from those who were right in the first place.
So, there are plenty of good reasons for not trying to change anyone’s mind—as long as they leave YOU in peace.
If you don’t want to argue with them try saying “I disagree with that. We’ll just have to agree to disagree”.
There is no way you should put up with propaganda being spewed at you from your loved ones.
Just say No.
Good advice.
@ Kornado:
It sounds to me like you need to meet like-minded people, and maybe find a like-minded girlfriend.
Give some thought to where you might meet such people. One obvious choice would be a conservative church–which might require some shopping around, depending on your location. Some churches have singles groups where you could meet both men and women.
Another place where conservatives congregate is the shooting range. You might consider joining a garden club, since gardeners tend to be conservatives. Outdoorsy activities of any kind would be good choices. Some of our local parks sponsor various outdoor activities. (I always wanted to try orienteering.)
If you have trouble talking to people, or you often feel that nobody notices you, make it a point to compliment them and to introduce topics that you know are dear to them. Ask about their new table saw or impact wrench–or their kids or pets. Compliment them on their hair, jewelry, boots, jacket, or whatever. Nobody ignores someone who is flattering them. Most people are as eager to be noticed as you are, and, for the most part, nobody ignores someone who is merely paying attention to them. If you ask people about subjects that interest them, you will probably not even have to hold up your end of the conversation after that. Sometimes you will run into someone who wants to tell you all about their gallbladder surgery, but this may just be a sign that you have joined the wrong group.
I’m sorry, but anyone who voted for Biden has some serious screws loose. I can’t imagine any scenario that would impel me to vote for Joe Bidet. That said, I can relate to the story of being unable to communicate with a lot of friends and some exfriends. It is impossible to have a rational conversation with irrational people. I understand the general dislike people hold for Trump. He’s never been one of my favorites either. Yet he is the only politician or non politician if you will, who has ever shown concern over the border and bringing manufacturing back on shore. He still accomplished very little in that regard.
Yawn…the twitter thing is a big nothingburger. Jim, who went insane around the time the tangerine twatwaffle was elected, has spewed an inordinate amount of keyboard diarrhea. However, his fourth paragraph has to take the cake. Still out there hawking ivermectin and hydroxy. His conclusion that this was deliberate(covid)
and involved mass coordination is belied by his constant railings against govt of any kind. C’mon Jim, do better.
Another mediated acolyte. If they say it’s nothing (by not covering it), it must be nothing then.
Just brilliant!
Who knows, maybe there is no such thing as “freedom of speech.” Not real freedom of speech anyway. It’s funny, but we never had any freedom of speech when I was growing up, & we got along just fine. If you wrote a Letter to the Editor, it was the Editor’s decision whether he wanted to publish your letter or not. You couldn’t just blurt out anything you wanted & have it out there to potentially go viral.
Today, with the so-called social media, anybody can write or say anything in theory, unless it’s moderated by the censors (the Nanny state “fact-checkers”), or suppressed altogether, or have their account cancelled, maybe by the busy beavers, or maybe by Elong himself if the offender is important enough (in order to virtue-signal his purity?) The Founding Fathers never imagined this world, did they?
The problem is that the country can’t handle the truth. If the country was founded on enduring truth, there wouldn’t be a problem with telling the truth, would there?
So, you deny the efficacy of Ivermectin and Hydroxychoriquine. What ever you do, if you get sick with the flu or covid, don’t use the aforementioned drugs.
Odd how the nameless buffoon shows up does a drive by splatter and he thinks anyone is going to listen to him.
Hey dolt no one cares what your opinion is especially when smarter people than you are saying these medicines are safe and effective.
Who are you?
Yeah no one.
The latest Real ID extension is a real knee slapper. Your gubmint hard at work for you.
RT
The highest-ranking general in the US Marine Corps has argued that “misbeliefs” about Covid-19 vaccines are contributing to the military’s manpower shortfalls, because many would-be recruits are balking at being forced to take the jabs.
“You talk to me in the cafeteria, and one of my first questions is, ‘Do I have to get that vaccine?’ And you go, ‘Yeah, you do.’ ‘Ok, I’ll talk to you later.’ It’s that fast,” said Commandant of the Marine Corps General David Berger. He added that the Pentagon’s vaccine mandate is a “big factor” in deterring enlistment of new troops in southern states, where there are “still myths and misbeliefs” about the inoculations.
Speaking at the Reagan National Defense Forum on Saturday in Simi Valley, California, Berger said many opinions were formed during the politicized rollout of the Covid-19 vaccines. “People make decisions, and they still have those same beliefs. That’s hard to work your way past, really hard to work.”
All branches of the US military are struggling to meet their recruiting quotas. For instance, the US Army missed its fiscal year 2022 recruiting target by about 25%, or 15,000 soldiers, even as it boosted enlistment bonuses to as much as $50,000. The Army has gone so far as to eliminate weight limits for re-enlisting troops if they can pass physical fitness tests. More than three in four young Americans are ineligible to join the military because of disqualifying factors, especially obesity, according to a Pentagon study.
US Representative Michael Waltz, a Florida Republican and member of the House Armed Services Committee, said the Pentagon is on the verge of discharging nearly 20,000 troops because they have refused Covid-19 vaccinations.
“This military mandate has got to stop,” Waltz told Fox News on Monday. “The vaccine does not stop the spread. The Pentagon is standing on an order as an order, but you know what, sometimes you need to re-evaluate your orders. We are in a recruiting crisis that is going to take us years to get out of.”
Jarek: Misbeliefs. Misinformation leads to misbelief. And then mis-action or missing in action.
I’m suddenly reminded of “You Die Alone” by the Norwegian Resistance Fighter. The lights may be on next door because the person doesn’t have the strength to get up and turn them off. Then it’s lights off forever.
This is good news! The youth of America are voting with their feet and refusing to join the military’s killing and social justice machine. They’re not so dumb and compliant after all. And the people they are getting are of lower quality than ever before. Take on Russia in a land battle? Better hope not. Even Putin would feel remorse about slaughtering such a pitiful enemy force.
Yes, it must be very hard for those like BRH and even for me sometimes. But yes, it is for the best.
Over the past few years I’ve met a lot of tatted, pierced, rape-rap-addicted, redneck, potheads – who won’t take the Shot, or even the Test. They say it’s genocide.
Wrong about just about everything, but at least they got that one important thing right.
Speaking of “Some Lights Going Out’, just ask the folks in Central NC about what the fuck is goin’ on.
Might it be the weak underbelly Achilles Heel of our civilization. Remember that ultimately, the Anarchists call the shots.
Warnock will probably win in Georgia. Obama nailed Walker on his vampire and werewolf comment, nailed the ineffectual intellectual Senate aspirant, the ‘best’ candidate Republicans could come up with.
He can run for the Senate, but he can’t outrun Obama’s reach, they’ll stop him for a loss. Plus, Trump took a lot of his money.
Stop the run and it’s 51.
In a sane nation, Walker wouldn’t even be a consideration. He’s a poster boy for CTE. The Republican Party needs to be obliterated.
Don’t disagree, but then there’s Fetterman, which is not a good argument for the other party.
There may be some hope. Harmeet Dhillon announced on Fox tonight that she will run to head the RNC. She seems capable and has good ideas.
It appears that she could gather up a huge following. If people had any sense, that is, and if the ‘old machine’ doesn’t grind her down.
Utter comedy, like most of your posts.
She’s a brilliant person, Owel. Don’t let your hatred make you stupid.
She is an establishment hack. You have no instincts.
Jarek believes politicians and celebrities are the people they play on TV.
Running Walker in the Senate race was one of the stupidest decisions ever made, unless they were trying to lose the race.
Riverrunner…”Twatwaffle”…hmmm, I don’t think even Jimbo’ with his vast vocabulary has pulled that one out of his bag o’ tricks. Sent me running to the urban dictionary. “Twatwaffle: someone unaware of their shortcomings and highly critical of others.” Yup, that’d be DT!
Appreciating moments of satisfaction, like a sunset, or a sight of shellshocked stockbrokers as the bell rings on a big daily drop.
I’m tired of politics
You are on a journey, soon to be at a place that most people don’t know about. In a bit more than a week I will let you know where that is, although the knowledge I impart will necessarily be gained by others who may be undeserving. Wonderful, if you already know this.
Tire not, rest and be refreshed in other realms.
Oh, I like being on a journey lol. I can’t wait! I am going to rest and relax more. I can’t keep up and you know what, that is ok, it’s not really my realm but I have a lot of opinions of course 🙂
Politics are your footsteps into the future.
They describe your yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
How else will you know where you are?
It should be interesting and not anti-climactic, I hope.
There are psyops within psyops these days it seems and psychological attacks from every direction. The demoralization campaign is in extreme mode at the moment. Either its because the system is collapsing or consolidating. But it does seem extraordinarily ridiculous to be “governed” by people? thousands of miles away who don’t know you and could care less about you. The idea of the US suddenly just seems so laughably preposterous. Local community sounds much better than some rigged imperialistic dehumanized machine.
I’ve seen some people ask but mostly you don’t hear anything about it anymore. What happened to monkeypox? Paul Pelosi made a recent appearance for the first time since the weird hammer incident. Some were pointing out that he might have had monkeypox. Like, who knows what to believe there, but it certainly was weird.
SSL, apparently you didn’t get the word. Per the CDC, the term ‘Monkeypox’ is no longer used, as it purportedly has racist connotations. The correct designation is now ‘MPox.’ The Monkeypox panic was indeed a psyops, as Monkeypox is a viral infection 100% affecting homosexuals thru their promiscuous activity.
100 more artillery rockets fired into Ukraine yesterday, striking key transportation hubs & energy infrastructure. This is quite surprising as we were were told last summer that Russia had run out of rockets, artillery shells, and missiles. It reminds one of General Gehrens, Chief of Army Intelligence on the eastern front, assuring the German high command in Nov. 1941 that the Soviet Army had no more Divisions to throw into the fight, and were essentially defeated.
When it comes to this Ukraine-Russia conflict the western media have proven to be nothing more than liars & propagandists; you can’t believe a goddam thing that they say.
Not so surprising, the stiff Ukrainian resistance forced the Russians to deplete, pause, and eventually replenish.
Putin is desperate. He thought he would take Ukraine in ten days or so. He will kill endless numbers of civilians to bring Ukraine to its knees. Freeze ’em to death, whatever it takes.
I’m in the process of verifying Ukraine’s attacks on Russia. Can you believe it, Putin must be absolutely pissed!
Of course, the poor civilians will continue to feel Putin’s wrath, continue to bleed, continue to die.
Interestingly, the ratio of military to civilian deaths in Ukraine has apparently been about 7:1, whlle in typical Middle-Eastern wars involving the US and UK, the ratio has been about 1:1. That would very obviously suggest an attempt by Russia to avoid civilian casualties, especially when it has been a deliberate strategy in Ukraine to embed their military facilities in civilian areas, human-shield fashion.
Needless to say, when the MSM reported clvilian casualities in a supermarket (a ‘targeted’ supermarket, they said) they forgot to mention the military installation right next to it which had been the actual target.
The war could have been over in April if Boris Johnson hadn’t high-tailed it to Ukraine to make sure the clown president didn’t go ahead with the peace deal that was then on the table.
TSP: “la la la”
If you seek a return to planet Earth, go to The Duran’s video of yesterday for a rundown on “the numbers.”
The war would have still gone on with or without Johnson. They simply would have sent someone else to keep the Zelensky puppet dancing.
Ever since the US/5EYES-backed Maidan Coup in 2014, it was clear war was coming in some form.
“Putin is desperate?”
No, your misinformed rhetoric is desperate.
Do you not realize that the Ukes shelled the Donbass for 8 years (2104-2022) killing 13,000 Russian speaking civilians?
Take your myopic ideas to the MSM where you can make intellectual freinds.
Well I agree with that, Night Owl. Johnson was also a puppet, so it was just one puppet being sent with instructions to another puppet.
Tusconidjit thinks that Russia did run out of missiles, but then made more.
And yet we are told that the west has run out of missiles to give to Ukraine, so that they can continue their suicidal mission, but it will take two years to make them.
How did Russia make more in only two months when it will take the US two years?
How does Tusconidjit know what Putin thought? Can he read minds long distance? Or is he an mindless media slurper who believes every world of known liars?
I’ll take answer B for 200, Alex.
7:1,
which side is 1 death?
We can trust tucsonslur to bring us all the ‘news’ that’s fit to report from CNN.
The side mentioned first, according to convention.
Sorry, that was for malthuss.
Accordingly, the ratio of civilian to military deaths would be 1:7.
Sorry, malthuss, I said that the wrong way round. The number on the right hand side is the side mentioned second, i.e. civilians. My second post was correct, though.
General Winter has saved Russia many times in the past on defense. This time they’re using him on offense. But of course, they see it as defense. Once a fight gets going, who knows what is defense and offense?
The best offense is often a pretended defense. White civilization has been all but taken down by non-Whites crying as they strike us. Women and feminized men fall for it every time.
What is General Winter? I’ve heard someone else say that before. I think Alex Mercouris. I guess I mean it’s the season but when people say it, they might not think about it, but it sounds like someone involved in the war. Maybe my questions should be where does that name come from?
Both Napoleon and Hitler invaded Russian in the late Fall or early Winter. The Russians retreated before them, drawing them in, destroying their own towns, and attacking their flanks and supply lines. Then Winter stuck the killing blow, with the poorly dressed Westerners (Western Europe is much warmer than Eastern, and Russia colder still) freezing to death as they went out to go go the bathroom. He is a very great General!
As the hapless Western Europeans retreated, the Russians attacked in force.
Wow ok, that makes sense.
Jarek you describe “Operation Uranus” 1942, strange name.
Were you pulling my pulaski?
LOL 🙂
Maybe! No i really was generally curious as to why General Winter was a term as it soundes funny.
I tried to get it relabeled as “Honkeypox”.
Seems I pre-empted the Gates-Fauci-Clinton cabal, so they quietly retired that plandemic.
That’s why I predict the future: so it doesn’t happen.
So in a way you’re like a time traveler?
I travel not only through space, but also time, and occasionally other dimensions.
Wow very interesting! You should tell us more. If you can give any detail?
PLANET HOLLYWOOD. – “BURNT BY THE SUN”
The Heritage cinema and the New Cinema. Both are lights and both will never go out. But the New Cinema should rise far higher than the Heritage. I think Hollywood will prove that.
Well, if it’s as good as King Vidor’s ‘Duel in the Sun’, (1946) with Gregory Peck and the wild Jennifer Jones, and with former silent film stars Lillian Gish & Lionel Barrymore, you’ll really have something.
LOL. OK, Will check it out. The thing is if a filmmaker tries to impress with his film, I think the odds of succeeding are lower compared to than say just actually telling a good story. 1946, eh?
(compared to say just actually telling a good story.)
Oh, man, just watched the trailer.
Jennifer Jones WAS wild, (And Selznick was totally wild over her.)
When those Hollywood dons cast Anglo women as crazy halfbreeds, etc., all kinds of wild things could happen.
Check out “good girl” Jean Simmons as the personification of female sexuality run amok in Black Narcissus.

Not to mention Missippi’s favorite daughter Ava Gardner as the gypsy Barefoot Contessa.

Islander, check out Rita Hayworth from that same era, specially her ‘Put the blame on Mame’ routine.
Phew, she set the house on fire.
I believe Rita was half Irish & half Spanish.

Hayworth was actually a good dancer. Here with Fred Astaire:

One thing the excellent article didn’t mention Hillary pillaging her own charity.
When Haiti had its earthquake Clinton’s ‘charity’ raised $130 million dollars-that’s when Hillary was still S of S which helped , of course.
Only 12% ($15Mm) of that money was spent in Haiti. My brother was working on an NGO and told me of that $15 MM , $6MM was spent on a week long stay in Haiti in a top tier hotel with plenty of security where there the Elite partied and never left the hotel.
What a travesty.
I recall a lot of that $$ went also for her daughter’s lavish wedding.
Wouldn’t be surprised if some of that Clinton Cash was used to grease the skids to spring Laura Silsby from jail in the Dominican Republic, after she got busted kidnapping 33 Haitian children and smuggling them across the border to her non-existent orphanage.
Once safely back in the US, Silsby became VP of AlertSense, the company that puts out Amber Alerts. If your child is lost, don’t worry, Laura Silsby is on the case.
Good morning.
Well, a report in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology caught my eye this morning. It basically has said that getting exposed to cold air does cause colds and flu and probably Covid. It explains why surges happen in the cold months and in the cold areas.
The nose and probably the entire phalanx has little cavities called EVs, extracellular vesicles, whose job it is to release immune cells and antibodies immediately into the nasal passages when antigens, viruses etc. are detected. The key is immediate response.
The report says that the nasal passages drop by as much as 5 deg C when exposed to cold air. Anyone who has been in 0 deg F air knows that the mucus freezes in your nose. Here is the result. The release of vesicle material has been measured to be reduced by up to 42% by exposure to cold. That reduces our ability to quickly counter viral colds.
A few strawman corollaries,
IMHO
People who spend lots of their time outdoors, think eskimos, would adapt to this with more vesicles perhaps.
People from warm climes who visit cold climes are more at risk.
Coming in from the cold into a heated house full of microbes aggravates this situation as the nose takes awhile to warm up.
Myself, every time I visit Colorado and especially when I visited Alaska in May a couple of years ago, flu, cold here I come.
One more and this will not be popular. What if the effect of masks throughout history has nothing to do with filtering and the appearance of viral response to masking maybe nothing more than keeping a warmer environment around the face, nose and mouth. Just supposing. Wear a scarf! Button up your coat. Skiers have worn face masks for generations.
This “discovery needs a lot more work. But the declaration that cold air cannot cause colds maybe on the way out,
Finally.
Hot showers, air temps; covering head all night… all help it’s true. Scarves over masks…
Or it could be people close up their houses and stop up all the windows and then crank the forced air heater.
If being in the cold actually got you sick, then surfers, construction workers, garbage men, postal workers and skiers would always be sick.
immunity. regular exposure as opposed to irregular.
Nope, wrong. As the article said, habitual exposure to cold may build up the number of vesicles to present a good defense. Eskimos have little virus disease.
Meh. I gave up hiking a year and half ago due to hip issues. Now I do all my workouts indoors with gas heat never higher than 65′, although I do try to open my windows as much as possible. I was a serious hiker, doing 2-3 hours a day pretty religiously throughout the winters no matter the temps. Because I was working on-site at the time, the morning hikes started in the dark at 5:00 AM or earlier. Can’t remember any colds or flu of note throughout the 5-10 year period where my mileage was high. In fact, the cold air always felt invigorating. And no, I never wore anything over my nose to restrict breathing.
Second year after giving it up and switching to an indoor weight routine I get a monster cold that’s been going around up here that turned into a bronchial infection that waylaid me for the better part of six weeks counting the time I spent on antibiotics to get rid of it and the recovery time from those. I’m already considering finding some form of exercise that will get me back outdoors where I think I belong.
I’m also missing the humidified air that the CPAP used to provide. Just can’t deal with that thing anymore. Salt water nasal flushes in the mornings now yield copious “stuff,” usually requiring two or more 8 oz bottles to clear it all out.
Anecdotal evidence, your mileage may vary.
Bottom line: I’m not wearing any damn mask, no matter the season. As some dead guy said a few decades back: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” This Covid psyop thing has turned us all into a bunch of sniveling cowards, just as planned.
Spot on, Dis. It’s very healthy to be outside in the cold as long as you’re properly bundled. When it’s super cold here, like below 25 degrees, I will put a scarf over my face just because it’s more comfortable. I’m impressed at how much you used to hike on a daily basis. I have to do more. I bike in the spring, summer and fall, but it’s just too tough to do in the winter so I switch to walking/hiking.
I admit it is hard to motivate myself to go out in the cold, and of course the preparation of getting all bundled, but once I do I am so glad I did it.
I hope you find your outdoor activity!
“When it’s super cold here, like below 25 degrees”
Haha, below 25 F that’s super cold? Shit it’s -36 F in Yakutsk,RU as we speak. A city of 360,000 people and winter doesn’t even start for 2 more weeks Those Russkies are still wearing shorts and tee shirts.
Saint,
I hope Mz Griner has been issued a nice warm coat….
It’s all relative, my friend.
Those people would probably roast to death in Mexico.
I did go through a -40 degree winter in Chicago. Sometimes it’s colder there than Siberia.
That’s interesting MQ since the coldest temperature ever recorded in Chitown was -27 F. When were you there during the last ice age?
1994.
It was -40 windchill factor at least. Which, when the wind is constantly blowing, may as well be the actual temperature.

Still trying to work this hip thing out. The Physical Therapist and my Primary care guy both say it’s a classical case of degenerative arthritis and the only thing that will cure it is a hip replacement. But both surgeons I saw (both assholes, I might add) said the X-Rays said otherwise, with one even stating that I was just probably too “pain sensitive.” They can do steroid injections into the joint, but that’s just a dangerous palliative measure that wears off in 6 months to a year and actually causes more damage by masking the pain, so I’m kind of out of options at this point.
I’m a senior also noticing a few things that might be the beginnings of arthritis. I’m listening to podcasts and interviews done by a naturopath doctor who has explanations and remedies for hips and knees with problems. Dr. Jennifer Daniels says our joints are deteriorating because of malnutrition in the meat department. The animal material we need to be injesting should include the entire animal, not just the choice cuts. We (including myself) like the skinless and boneless choice cuts. We won’t eat stuff like cow’s tails, pigs ears, or chicken feet, and finding those things in the meat department can be difficult. The poor folks in Haiti with their back yard chickens eat the chicken feet and internal organs. Poor folks eat all the stuff that’s loaded with collagen. For us to keep our joints working right we need to be eating material that includes gristle, cartilage, yukky stuff etc. Quite frankly, I have to force myself not to retch a tiny bit while grinding cartilage in my mouth or trying to cook and eat chicken’s feet for the first time. But I’m making my own bone broth and eating lots of gelatine (made from cow cartilage).
Dr. Daniels once explained how “eating high on the hog” was bad for you. If you ate “high on the hog” that meant you were only eating the tasty stuff on the hog and giving or throwing away everything else. Only poor folks ate the entire pig, from ears to skin to tails. Eating high on the hog can lead to gout and joint breakdowns, at least according to what Doc Daniels says. It makes sense to me, so I’m trying to eat as much of the entire chicken as possible, including the skin. And I make bone broth with all the gristle and bones left behind. I’m hoping to help avoid having arthritis this way.
A young child cannot eat too much. An old man can not eat too little.
Eating exhausts the system but it is necessary. So? Cut down to two meals a day.
Buddha recommended one – if you can manage it.
Unless they show bone on bone issues it is then a loss of muscle mass that holds all that in place.
Go see a personal trainer with an emphasis on core training and stretching.
You might also try some easy yoga.
Dis
Orthopedic surgery is a racket. Keep digging until you find someone who is not afraid to explain everything to you and verify what he/she is saying.
There is no such thing as too pain sensitive. The way MDs have botched opioids over the last half century, I would not trust a single one until they can give me a positive reading on what is wrong, what can be done, what your future prognosis is, how muchPT will be involved and what kind of a pain management program will be used.
In dealings with Primary care and orthopedic MDs in the past, little attention is given to any of these subjects.
Two kinds of arthritis
Osteoporosis. Wear and tear damage
rheumatoid. Autoimmune response. This can be tested for.
Osteo comes on slow a little at a time, it is usually related to young injuries. BTW, I am against kids playing a adult level contact sports for this reason.
Carnivores do not eat meat, they eat the guts, especially the liver because that is where the nutrients are. I think you are right on by eating collagen rich areas though, or you can take pills. Ha!
Like most things, MDs are very limited on what they can do. Steroids are one as a control on immune response and inflammation. Like everything, we build a tolerance to drugs meaning more and more needed with time.
What is going on right now with Covid should be an indicator of how little we understand the immune system..
You put a scarf on for comfort. Taking the place of a mask according to this article.
It is NOT promoting masks, nor am I. Any guard to keep inhaled air near body temp is a good thing. As I said, when it gets cold, skiers wear total face masks.
You just don’t get it do you. Here is a group that for the first time is putting info out to explain why winter brings on virus infections.
They are denying the “scientific” adage that cold air, cold weather cannot make you sick.
Wear something to keep your face warm and breathe through your nose where the warming is sounds like good advice to me.
As well as the other virus avoidance tricks.
It’s hard to beat fresh air.
I guess that’s why it’s called “fresh”!!
Seriously, every cell in our bodies needs oxygen.
There is more of it outdoors than in.
Colds and flu are respiratory viruses. Viruses can only replicate in living cells. You don’t get them from cold air, you get them from sick people who are exhaling viral particles.
When you get sick when you travel it is usually because you were in a small enclosed area for hours with 200 or so other people, all breathing recycled air, i.e. an airplane. Chances are good that at least a couple of them are sick and exhaling virions.
Cold seems to bring it on though, possibly lowering the body’s resistance to bugs that are already inside waiting for an opportune moment to strike!
Hey Jarek, did you read the post. That is what it says, cold lowers the immune response to virions, bacteria by lowering the response of the nose, mouth and pharanx response to antigens. The immediate response!
It might be a good idea to suck on a couple of zinc lozenges on an airplane (or train or bus).
Such as Coldeeze. Homeopathic, doesn’t taste bad, not very expensive, and available at Walmart, Walgreen, etc.
The nose and throat are the first line of defense against a respiratory virus.
You can also “warm up:” your throat and sinuses by humming.
And, of course, breathe through your nose.
Hot tea is always good as well and also lots of vitamin C and leafy green vegetables. Be very proactive in the winter and you will hopefully be ok
High quality vitamin D supplements AND GT SOME SUNSHINE!
Get that is.
Ben, here in NE, the sun is but a dim, cold orb in the sky, seen at an oblique angle and emitting hardly anything like heat or light.
Not quite San Diego.
Vitamin and nutrient support is important to maintaining immune system integrity, yes.
But if these folks are right and 42% of the immune system’s integrity in the oro- nasal passage is compromised by cold exposure and the solution is just keep it warm, sounds good to me.
But if you do end up getting laid low by wintertime respiratory illness, nothing – in my experience – works to break the ice and get you back into the land of the living like a walloping dose of LSD.
Nothing magical. You will probably have to take more than you have before. You will have to actively fight the illness. You may feel like you’re drowning. You may forget how to breathe. You may not be able to speak any known language for a little while. But if you can swim under it, and break through the ice on the other side, you’ll be able to step out into that -14 F night with no worries (other than, “Will my lungs shatter?!”) a mere 8 hours (your mileage may vary) since you first ventured from your deathbed.
This prescription is for experienced psychonauts only. For the rest of you, (and you psychonauts too) I’ve got two words: Wim Hof.
Bravo Black. You are a Man despite your errors. Using psychedelics as medicine is rare wisdom. I just touched the hem of this noble garment before all of it fell away from me. But I realized the truth of it.
As the Tantrics say, We rise by that which other men fall. It must remain illegal – and the law must be discretely broken.
Yes! Stop it before it gets a foothold in the throat. That’s where it starts for me. Also blast it with Vitamin C and Echinacea.
Airborne, which you can get at Walmart, is very good for colds/flu. It’s a combination of vitamins, echinacea, and a couple of Chinese herbs (honeysuckle flower and forsythia seeds). For chest congestion, osha root is great–kind of a natural Mucinex. It’s a good idea to take NAC. A Budesonide inhaler also helps a lot.
Codonopsis root is good for the lungs and also helps convalescents regain their strength. Good stuff to have around. You can buy it in a powder and mix it with your coffee. It’s pleasant tasting.
Yes Paula, like the customs area my wife and I got stuck in in Mexico when we acquired the crud.
Now per the article, come into a warm, moist virus laden cabin with a cold nose “immunity anesthetized” and wonder where your cold came from.
I hope these guys have come up with something substantial. Right now, the viruses are winning. And we are killing ourselves with outdated, futile efforts to guide our immune systems with vaxx poisons that we really do not understand.
BTW, if the virus does not exist in the environment, cold makes no difference.
Thanks for that, JAZ.

” Per the CDC, the term ‘Monkeypox’ is no longer used, as it purportedly has racist connotations. ”
I was gob-smacked by this “racial connotations” comment coming from the CDC’s renamers.
[Throat clearing . . .], which racial connotations is the CDC talking about?
What assumptions or stereotypes is the CDC invoking with this “explanation?
Shouldn’t this comment and this reason for canceling “monkeypox” be called out as a huge racist dog whistle?
Anyway all of those “dogs” out there know that “m” stands for “monkey,” right?
Shouldn’t the CDC be exhorted to apologize to . . . ah, whom, actually?
Who is it that is maligned by the “monkeypox” designation?
I take it the monkey coalition filed a formal complaint, with the chimps hurling their feces, as is their custom.
Nah, Dis.
Who is the primary target of the Monkeypox?
The LBGTQ+ folks do not like being referred to as Monkey anything.
Isn’t the disease named after the source animal?
Talk about a self-own by the CDC.
They shoulda’ dropped the M altogether and renamed it the PorchPox.
Yes, they think Blacks are like monkeys. Or they think that Blacks think that they think that. As Jefferson said, a thousand grievances would poison the relations between the two races forever.
Separation, war, or the death of miscegenation. Those are the options.
Well, ladies and germs;
The Situational Awareness, this AM, reports;
Far left activists coordinate a rally at Firestorm Bookstore to support the author of the book “Trust Kids,” a book about abolishing “Adult Supremacy.”
…Abolish Adult Supremacy…. OK, so we should allow the little booger eating, unwashed, unread, little lords of the flies to thwart adult supervision. We should all rely on their innate good nature and judgment.
Just like in the Bible, I suppose.
You could look it up.
Obviously, they want kids to have the say on what happens to them because they are impressionable and easily gotten to. They want parents out of the way, and they are doing their damnedest to do it.
Most parents will go along because of peer pressure. We live in a transhausen by proxy nightmare. Wait ’til these kids are adults. Yikes!
Trust kids and stop trusting adults?
Off topic a bit but reminds me of an episode on the farm my grandson’s family had. One day, I observed one of the cowboys explaining to my 6 year old grandson how he should never ever stand behind a running tractor. This one was a large cab tractor and the rear tires towered over the child’s head. The cowboy was explaining that if he was behind the tractor, the driver would be unable to see him and the boy could get crushed down into the mud and gravel and become a dead and squashed pancake. I watched the boy’s eyes get large and very focused. He was taking it all in and understood that the consequences of not trusting and obeying adults could be fatal – right there in front of him. He loved riding in the tractors and participating in adult work like cutting and baling hay. He never got hurt, but he was also very respectful and very focused on what the cowboys told him and what to do and what not to do. He realized that the activities going on were real and not something like the make believe “let’s pretend” games being played in schools where everything was safe – and boring as hell……
Leftist adults and school teachers, as far as I can tell, really have nothing to offer to a child desiring contact with and experience in the real world.
E. Sounds like this may be another grooming tactic employed by sexual predators, similar to Tranny Reading Hour, used to pry little ones away from the protection of their parents, making them easier to get at for molestation purposes — the filthy scum.
That’s exactly what it is, BRH.
What are the chances a CFN’er goes out there with a pitchfork and/or blowtorch? – THOUGHT OF THE DAY

I still stand by the theory that Obama was signaling to everyone to buy US silver dimes, quarters, and halves.
“Change you can believe in!”
What else could he have been talking about?
When I was a child I made extra money by mowing yards, including mine. There was a gas station not too far away, and I’d buy a gallon of gas with a silver quarter I had in my pocket. Now today, that silver quarter I used in the late 50’s would be worth $3.89. So in terms of real money, like silver quarters, the price of gasoline has remained the same for the last 60 years.
That was real change, something everyone believed in. Today’s change is fake, just as today’s popular culture is completely fake.
Harder to find silver this way now, but I still buy half dollars at the bank. First time I did that I bought 400 halves. 256 of them were 40% silver. Another time I scored 70 90%ers, another time 65 90%ers. If you get lucky that’s a great way to get some cheap silver.
Good finds Wade but that must have been years ago. Do you find much anymore? For years I was killing time at the firehouse sorting pre ’82 penny’s from bank rolls. I bet I have 3-400 lbs of real copper pennies. I found it relaxing. The percentages kept dropping over time so other people or the gov. must be doing it also.
People actually buy them on ebay for upwards of $2.50 a roll. I’m hanging on to my stash.
I started buying half dollars in 2004. The best years for me were 2004-2011. It’s been less productive since then but I still find some from time to time.
Pretty sure he was talking about changing the Big Guy’s depends.
I hadn’t thought of that…
It looks like that log in issue is gone for me now (fingers crossed) lol 🙂
As usual, brilliant insight!
Alex Christoforou connects some dots.
Macron and Schulz recently made peace noises.
Victoria Cookies Nuland goes to Kiev and spends the night.
Ukraine bombs Russian air base that houses nuclear-armed planes and kills 3 Russian soldiers.
Coincidence? He thinks not.
I recall that in March, when Ukraine and Russia came to a tentative peace treaty agreement, Boris Johnson was dispatched to Kiev to put the kibosh on it and keep the war going.
When Germans started to protest about the sanctions cutting off their supplies of gas, the US blew up the pipelines to make the protests moot.
There seems to be a pattern.

Yes there is a patter, and it’s leading to a much wider war. Poland is instituting its own ’emergency draft’. They want 200K to report for training by the end of this month.
No doubt in my mind that Poland is doing what the US State Dept has told them to do. Unfortunately, the Polish government is the US’s most willing bitch. Legs always spread wide.
Poland is instituting its own ’emergency draft’. They want 200K to report for training by the end of this month.
There’s gotta be a dumb Polack joke in there somewhere.
Poland attempting to expand this war is the dumb Polack joke.

LOL imbeciles here complaining about Herschel Walker when there is a certifiable vegetable at the helm of the whole goddamned thing!
Y’all still don’t understand the concepts of puppets?
Well, let me tell ya, the DNC does.
Yet here are conservatives complaining that Walker is a punch-drunk idiot. Well guess what slow-to-the-uptake people? He’s our idiot.
I have more respect for the leftards than the conservatives. They really know how the game is being played, no, scratch that, they are making the rules for the game.
They don’t care that Biden is a drooling infant, Feinstein’s brains leaked from her skull last decade, AOC has the IQ of a bowl of red beans. Of course not! They’re electable puppets that they easily control.
Look at the GOP leadership! A guy with more flesh dangling from his neck than skin in the game or a plan for his party.
The Zero idea party.
This is an old insult from the Soetero admin but it still fits, these many years later.
The GOP deserves to lose in GA.
They still expect a respectable and intelligent politician.
Hilarious
and sad
Herschel is the definition of an everyman who would probably do quite well on policy. An honest guy. Not trained to win over average media consumer, but rather salt of the earth and well intentioned.
That said, the individuals (particularly on this forum) talking him down have been wrong on every other issue to date, so there is that.
🙂
His primary critic has been tada,
Barack Obama
Our primary communist propaganda machine.
That says it all!
Herschel’s a self-made man who has succeeded at everything he tried. Just the kind of guy the elitists hate. But he would have been a pariah in the Senate, so probably just as well. It takes more than one.
Jarek might have a few words to say about the two candidates in this election.
Like, WTF, you mean that control of the US Senate depends on the choice between a black communist and a black football hero businessman.
Great!
Also a hypocrite on abortion, and we absolutely don’t need another knuckle dragger in the Senate.
Yes, the party leadership has to go and maybe Harmeet Dhillon could help show the way out.
The Trump Corporation has been found guilty of income tax Fraud in Manhattan a great unbiased venue judged probably by an Obama judge under pressure from the Biden Mob.
How it will affect Trump is unspoken as of yet.
IMHO, the dream of a Trump led third party is quickly dying now. The GOP as an alternative to the Dem led Uniparty Deep State is a joke. The two party system is dead, right now we are led by the Liberal, WEF inspired BidenMob. Trump is useless as long as his goal is to lead the GOP to victory in 2024. As a senior statesman to a third party with his “bunch” for support, he might be able to make his impact. But not as president.
McConnell calls out Trump for his remarks on ‘terminating’ (suspending?) the Constitution. It’s the essence of Trump, acknowledging a really bad situation and stating what may be the only way to correct it, torpedoes be damned.
His heart, his spirit must be crushed, his essence erased.
Obama has his knee on Trump’s neck and loves every minute of it, watching the life force drain away, watching the white slowly die.
Hi John AZ
I gather from your fist sentence that you think the conviction is wrong? That the evidence (as given by Weisselberg) was faked? Or that the charges were just ‘trumped’ up? That Trump Org didn’t do as it was accused? Or do you in fact think that tax fraud is okay if it’s done by a white Alpha male (R) rather than any body else?
Also, I believe it was a jury that deliberated on the evidence before returning 17 verdicts of guilty. How is that controlled by ‘the Biden Mob”?
The jury was from liberal NY City.
The judge refused to recuse those jurors who said that they were prejudiced against Trump.
Green Alba,
the ratio of civilian to military deaths would be 1:7.
I thought the 1-7 was one dead on one side and 7 dead on the other.
I wonder how many died per side.
full disclosure, I lost a cousin in vietnam and I deplore war.
“I thought the 1-7 was one dead on one side and 7 dead on the other.”
It is. For every 7 dead Ukrainian soldiers there is one dead civilian, whichever way round you express the ratio. It was a while ago that I heard that on UK Column News – I don’t know the recent figures.
An American cousin of mine (from NY) was also killed in Vietnam – the day before he was due to go home on leave – but I’d never met him. His brother ended up on the street and is long dead too – I sometimes wonder if his life was messed up by what happened to his brother. Their mother (my mother’s oldest sister) was already widowed when she lost her son. He’d been shot in the spine and they sent my aunt a recording of him, in obvious agony, trying to say goodbye. Horrendous.
thanks
what are total dead Ukrainians and Russians?
That is a sad story Green Alba. War is a horrible thing.
Most of the dead civilians in Ukraine have been killed by the Ukrainians.
They are shelling Donetsk every day now that the US has sent them so many Himaar missile launchers.
They use them to attack marketplaces and community centers and a couple of civilians are dying almost every day.
Russia concentrates on killing Ukie soldiers. So the ratio is even more skewed, because 1:7 implies that it is Russians killing both the soldiers and the civilians, but it’s not.
Yeah, you know everything, your sources are impeccable, I’m sure.
Still bending over for Putin?
Here comes Mr. Pervy to weigh in with is unwanted 2 cents. Dirty old men are probably the most pathetic creatures on the planet.
Still obsessing about anal sex?
I guess you spend so much time watching anal sex porn that you have no time to read about the war in Ukraine.
Sucks to be you.
Let’s not forget the seriously wounded and maimed, the burned, the blinded, the brain damaged and the amputated.
Indeed. war is hell. my relatives have fought [I refuse to say ‘served’].
Tucsonspur…yes, I fear the “Tangerine Twatwaffle” has come to the end of his rope.
Totally. The truculent, trouble making, tough, toxic, thermonuclear “Tangerine Twatwaffle” is tot.
Toast?
“Tot” is German for “dead”.
Live and learn.
Wow. Garland Nixon, who I’ve listened to for years, and Jackson Hinkle were suspended from the new “free speech” Twitter.
For what? Who knows. They gave the same vague reasons that I got when my account was banned. A whole lot of people have been taken down since EM has taken control. So let’s stop pretending he’s a bastion of free speech, K?
https://youtu.be/zqwD8p7Vz5A
Elon Mabus?
Don’t believe him
No one who gets it does.
Akshually EM is essentially a bastion of freer speech than anywhere else right now. He has done a lot more than any politician or government operative to free up speech somewhat. I don’t see anything else going on on that front anywhere else. Not to say its perfect or much more could be done. But he is apparently going against power and principalities and the pressures must be unimaginable since he said it wouldn’t be suicide. Jackson back on twitter so. Its like feast or famine mentality here and im not going to give in to that. Rather I am going to appreciate and enjoy the moment. EM doesn’t have to do one thing for us anyway so just think about that when you are formulating your arguments.
LMAO.
Enjoy your trojan horse while you can.
Must you bang out the same predictable retort to every post?
Do you ever shut up?
Answer: No.
Nice projection.
Lol, I know it is hilarious. She thinks that these little write off quips do something. Sorry to let you know boo boo that others are watching and listening and sweetheart bless her heart is just not that convincing.
I do? It’s amazing how many people claim to be able to read my mind.
LOL
So glad you’re delighted with my posts. I should comment even more since you & Islander enjoy me so much!
In the meantime, ladies and gents, Warnecke, the communist preacher, the Obama replacement, has won the Georgia senate race, The final race of the Red Wave has been called, the Senate side, and the failure of the GOP is just about complete. The Senate is now 100% in control by the Dems, and the Leftist Dems. Manchin is not needed, Harris is not needed. McConnell is totally powerless.
The House, oh yeah what a joke. The Dem plus RINO group puts the Liberal side in control here too. The spenders get to be in charge still. My state is now blue and blends well with California.
This country is now under Uniparty Deep State control. A large part of the change is folks that will not vote with the conservative side because they do not like one or two people in the GOP. You are responsible, en mass, for what has happened to the country. You know who you are.
To your immense satisfaction, today, between tax convictions and Herschel going down in flames, Trump is about done in 2024 along with the hopes of America..
One more, the optimistic hopes expressed by JHK about the USA future is gone too. The GOP is running out of ideas of what to do to counter the Leftist control of the Deep State supported by the demographics of the country.
Who is going to counter the thrusts of the Left, the perversion of the country, the destruction of the Right? The only person who even stood a chance is setting in the West.
The people of Arizona gave a warm welcome to the tutti capo this AM visiting a chip site that will never exist because of water shortages. When Joe Blow was asked why he would not visit the Border, he said it was not important enough.
Welcome to Amerika.
My understanding is that Jim believes that local and regional areas will need to fend for themselves as the one party dying leviathan dies. Its optimistic at the end perhaps due to the opportunity for a new path however it will be hell to get there. The USA corporation itself is bankrupt already financially and pretty much in every other way.
It really is bad news. Did anybody watch Hannity? Newt Gingrich was on and told it like it is.
Essentially, he said that the abilities of Biden and Pelosi and the Dems have been underestimated, that you could joke about them and criticize them all you want, but that they have achieved their goals. If he mentioned Obama, I didn’t hear it. No more excuses, Republicans must face reality, he said.
I believe that the last election helps to illustrate that the 2020 election was not stolen. Sure, it was hard to believe that Biden could get so many votes, a difficult reality to face.
We have underestimated the effectiveness of the Left’s gaslighting and mind fuckery, as Jim would put it. We have underestimated the power of Woke and the weakness of whites. How many whites turned to BLM, Antifa and the Left after the infamous, iconic image of the knee on the neck?
We have also underestimated the effectiveness of their using Trump as a threat to Democracy, of using him as the evil symbol of rich, white, racist privilege, the very symbol of a revolting Republican party.
It is absolutely stunning that Obama and his clan are getting away with the ‘radical transformation’ of, the ravaging destruction of America. Was a time this nigger and his clan would have been stopped.
Yes, bravely and proudly use the nigger word when appropriate. It may just lead to some long overdue heated confrontation, some hard pushback against racist blacks and their glorification by a supine, spineless media.
It’s kind of interesting that Jarek was banned for posting links to a white supremacist racist site, yet you can throw around the N word gratuitously.
“you can throw around the N word gratuitously.”
Mary,
At one time, the word was entirely offensive…but now, it seems almost…defensive.
I think it’s ridiculous to ban, or even just stigmatize a word (except maybe “problematic” or “practicable”…).
I also think it’s dumb to bend over backwards to accommodate every (or any) grievance group.
I’ve been trying to come up with a derisive term for whites, that we can get all hot and bothered about. I tried to tarnish “honkey” by rebranding Monkeypox – but no luck.
If blacks have any cause to get upset about use of the word “nigger”, it should be due to “cultural appropriation” by whites – who, by my calculations, now make up the majority represented by that term.
I see resorting to a word like that as intellectually lazy at best and just tantrum-throwing at worst.
There are plenty of things you can call Obama that are more fitting, in any case. Like warmonger, war criminal, psychopath…
It’s a loaded word and there’s sort of a societal agreement that using it is the last resort of someone attacking another because of their race or culture, not their character.
Same as when people call each other names based upon their sex.
Why call a man a “dick” when you can call him an asshole? Then there is no sexism.
Agree whole-heartedly that people should be free to say any of those words, but I still see it as weakness of character.
Mary claims that she has had thousands of interactions with Blacks at work with never an iota of prejudice form them.
She lies a lot.
Calling a guy a “dick” and calling him an “asshole” are two very different things. I hadn’t really realized that until I watched Team America.
Kinda like the difference between a fascist and a plutocrat. Look the same to most people, but they are actually mirror opposites.
I like using the right words, it strengthens our language. (Well, I hope so anyway.)
“I believe that the last election helps to illustrate that the 2020 election was not stolen.”
This statement needs to be qualified.
As is being pointed out, when a large segment of the population is conditioned by propaganda, essentially, wasn’t my vote stolen?
When trying to question this population about any of their logic, or present any misdeeds, rather that discussion, like a broken record, the response is: “moving on, moving on, moving on, …).
The Uniparty will remain in control until after the dollar dies. By then, living conditions will become *very* primitive in the USA, and there will likely be waves of shocked hysteria erupting from people everywhere unable to cope with the sudden changes. A lot of the hysteria and “Karen” type behavior will be coming from suburban and liberal/academic type females experiencing their planet suddenly changed to something totally alien and *very* frightening.
No males will be available to assist them in any way because the current crop of males has also been neutered, just as the females have been neutered. When feminism took over long ago, part of the agenda was ignored or even hidden from the public. Along with masculinzing females, the young males were to be feminized. Today’s males have no coping skills for subsistence living either. Today’s affluent males might be able to play football, ride fast motorcycles, or go mountaineering, but those skills have no relation to what will be needed in a world made by hand. Services formerly done for us by large corporations, services like raising, slaughtering, and preserving hogs for example – those services in the next economy will be done locally in back yards and at small farms. Instead of playing ball, males will be required to learn and perform new blue collar skills. To have shoes on our feet in the US, men will be required to step forward and start building shoe and boot factories. To have necessities like clothing, cooking utensils, hardware store items etc. men will be required to get busy and build new factories here. At some point in history, Asians will stop making the basic goods we need for civilized living. If males in the US lack the capability to rebuild our industries, then we’ll be occupying our land here in a lifestyle of abject poverty. This land will be cursed and nobody will wish to live here anymore.
And to think women masterminded it all!
Had no idea how omnipotent we are.
In other words, women bear no responsibility at all? Fatuous.
And if you refuse accountability, then why should be allowed to vote?
No moral agency! What a low view of women you have. Much lower than mine in fact.
Your first mistake is imagining that anyone takes you seriously.
I don’t see women masterminding anything at all. Instead they are collectively and robotically following the rules and false teachings of a tiny group old fat, bald, and elite white men who are running things from the shadows.
Almost Woody, almost. If nations were hermetically seal entities, they could go thru the whole cycle, including the recovery. But instead they typically get invaded, conquered, and/or destroyed before before recovery can happen.
A strong nation might be able to endure even that. But of course that means ethnic and cultural homogeneity – something long gone here. There’s no reason that we should rise again and so we won’t. Maybe certain areas. In won’t say states. I’m afraid states may hold us back in the long term as much as they aid us initially.
Yes, each sex was made to envy the other, and to become third rat imitations of the other instead of themselves.
Mary seems to be claiming that women are complete in themselves, with both masculine and feminine traits and thus no need of men at all.
The liberal elite successfully portrayed Herschel as a dumb-ass country nigga because he didn’t speak like them. Georgia’s increasingly urban and beholden to the MIC big time and the Dems are their main patrons now, so it was a fait accompli that Herschel wouldn’t win. The semi-sports talk show “Brother From Another” on Peacock yesterday, hosted by two blacks with two black guests, excoriated Herschel roundly for his inability to speak and because he made the offhand comment that “he didn’t know what a pronoun was” in reference to all that current nonsense. I thought he spoke just fine in the vernacular of rural America.

============
Google informs me that Herschel Walker was awarded the Heisman trophy in his Junior year of college. Did he complete that junior year? I don’t know. But let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and say that Walker completed 3 years of college after which he left to play pro football. I would love to know what subjects he “studied” and see his report cards. They were probably like Peter’s (the equivalent of “under water basket weaving”) who was thrown out of two colleges after a total of 3 semesters with a cumulative GPA of 1.25.
I recall Walker being interviewed, probably after a game, and I recall cringing at his inarticulateness. Perhaps he has improved somewhat over the decades but to conceive of him as a US Senator is embarrassing.
I know nothing about Warnock. He may be as undeserving of such a high office as Herschel is… I have no idea.
I doubt he’s any more inarticulate than many of the jocks that graduate college these days, especially given his rural Georgia upbringing. Walker was a man playing with boys in college and probably deserved the Heisman every year he played. When it comes to “deserving” to hold such a high office as a US Senator, I don’t know what the criteria is (other than being absolutely corrupt, that is), but if the current bunch is any indication, the bar’s pretty damn low. The blacks turning on him – especially in the sports realm – was just a case of the real niggas trying to please their white masters and get a leg up on their own. Shameful.
Take a listen to Emmanuel Acho – a Texas Austin grad and football analyst – sometime if you want to hear someone who’s articulate as hell but that you want to strangle within two minutes of him opening his mouth sometime. I can’t even bear to listen to him anymore. His non-stop staccato speech just oozes sycophancy and superiority. Articulation is way overrated.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel_Acho
And a reminder that smooth articulation is what gave us Obama, although admittedly, McCain/Palin had a lot to do with that too.
And inability to put together a coherent sentence certainly didn’t hold Sarah Palin back either.
Has anyone listened to Joe Biden in the last two years I mean come on already.
While we are at it take away the teleprompter and Obama stuttered like the village idiot.
George W. Bush had trouble with the teleprompter and was better not using it.
Anyone ever really paid attention to AOC?
Congress and the Senate are full of fools that have trouble speaking. Their speaking ability is not what most of them are put into office to do they are there to have good advisors advise them on how to vote and for the most part follow party lines.
Any imbecile can do that.
Knock it off. He’s a nice black guy, a dummy like most of them. Never raped nobody, or stuck a knife in a pregnant woman’s belly, just gave a bitch or two what they was askin’ fo.
So, nothing has changed.
Things are not as simple as they seem . . .
Especially in Twitterstan .. . .

It always seems like that is the case. It really is always complicated. It’s good to see that he was fired. It will be very interesting to see what other connections and bad actors are exposed. I hope all of this is just the beginning.
Tucker praised him for this, but still didn’t seem to trust him completely.
He said, Don’t try to curate it. Just release it.
I haven’t been able to be as “online” as I have wanted today but I did see something about Jack Dorsey also telling Elon to release everything in full. Is Jack going to ascend to a higher level completely here?
Maybe his Buddha Acid Journey was a success.
Ely was debating whether to try pot a while back, but decided to remain a square.
We are so sick of being lied to. The best “tactic” would now be to just tell us the truth. Anybody who did that would end up as president. Trump won’t listen to reason and is going to listen to all the wrong people again.
A greyed out square appears under some posts including mine. What is that?

10Q
“Loy, Raland, Deron and Gaynor Brunson (the brothers) witnessed the 2020 election along with claims from members of congress that the election was rigged. What got their attention was when the proposition to investigate those claims was presented to Congress and put to a vote. What came as a shock to the four brothers is when they discovered that 387 members of Congress along with VP Mike Pence actually voted against the proposed investigation, thus thwarting the investigation. Whether the election was rigged or not was no longer their main concern. What now became the concern was when those members of Congress violated their sworn oath by voting to thwart the investigation.”
It’s on the docket 1-6-23.
supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/22-380.html
“How can you support, and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign, and domestic? Answer: You investigate. If there are claims that there is a threat, even if you don’t believe there is a threat, you investigate. How else can you determine if there is a threat unless you investigate? You can’t. Were there claims of a threat to the Constitution? Yes. Where did these serious claims come from? 100 members of Congress. What was the threat? That there were enemies of the Constitution who successfully rigged the 2020 election. Is this lawsuit about a rigged election? No, it’s about the members of Congress who voted AGAINST the investigation thereby thwarting the investigation. Was this a clear violation of their oath? YES.”
Seems pretty simple.

Barbara Marx Hubbard: Godmother of Transhumanism and Synthetic Spirituality
“The late Barbara Hubbard, a Rockefeller-funded New Age guru, was critical to the development of the ideas, beliefs and technology necessary to market transhumanism as spiritual enlightenment.”
https://unlimitedhangout.com/2022/05/investigative-reports/barbara-marx-hubbard-godmother-of-transhumanism-and-synthetic-spirituality/
(and yes, the irony of her name is not lost on me).
A woman and therefore innocent. Men are to blame for her wrong ideas and her negative influence. As Anthea said, Women are pure.
Too pure to vote or sign contracts. A pure page of parchment for men to write on.
Insert eyeroll here.
Use your words. Oh you don’t have any? Just an adolescent eye roll? You prove my point. You never got past 13. A lot of women don’t.
Would you like some cheese with your whiiiiine?
@ Jarek:
Well, for starters, I never said that women are pure. That would be a lie, incidentally, as you seem to have an indifference for objective reality. Either that, or you just aren’t at all particular about sticking to the truth and avoiding lies.
As for the rest, it is pure fantasy. You are asking us to have a serious discussion with you about the aerodynamics of flying pigs.
@ Jarek:
You will never make any progress in clear and rational thinking until you discipline yourself to be strictly truthful. And until you do that with some success, spiritual progress is out of the question altogether.
Try it. Make a conscious effort to never tell a lie, for a day or a week (or in perpetuity). It’s very difficult, and it gets harder when you decide never to lie to anyone.
Most lies are told out of cowardice–as when you call the school to tell them that your kid is sick, when you are actually taking them to visit Grandma. Fuck it. Tell them you’re taking them to visit Grandma.
I actually did this once. This leads to listening to them bitch about it, which leads to you telling them that you are the parent and not them, and that these decisions are not theirs to make, but yours.
They want you to be afraid of them–afraid enough to lie.
What @Anthea said.
Jarek, when you stop lying about people, misrepresenting what they’ve said, and claim to know what they are thinking (and are always wrong), and begin acting authentically, then I’ll respond to you in a like manner.
As it is, you’ve lied about me about 15 times on just this thread. So you get the deserved cajoling, and eye-rolling in response.
You reap what you sow.
Ant: Yes, you did – at least in regards to motherhood. But since you believe women are better in general, I would bet you believe they are pure in general, at least relative to men.
Just like the Victorians. Sugar and spice and everything nice – with men as beasts. With that kind of mindset, of course our Civilization was poised to topple, with Feminism as one of the main vectors of destruction.
Now do you deny you said it in regards to motherhood? When I get to this point with Mary, she just lies outright. Let’s see if you are better.
Just about everyone here knows you’re a consummate liar, Jarek.
That’s why we roll our eyes.
Consummate liar would be an “extremely skilled and accomplished” liar.
That is not Jarek. .
Someone who makes up stuff about what other commenters think—Jarek is not the only one who does this—is not a consummate liar but an obvious liar.
Anybody who uses the formula “X thinks” or “X believes” or other similar statements should be called out as a fantasist and liar unless the belief or opinion is documented with a previous post.
Recently Jarek made an absurd charge against me regarding Jews. Off the wall.
Where the hell he got this I have zero idea.
However, others have also written “Islander thinks blah blah.”
Barbara Marx Hubbard:
(and yes, the irony of her name is not lost on me). – MQ
=============
My brother Armand, my father also Armand, and my grandfather also Armand, all had the middle name Marx.
A couple of years ago I came across a document that showed my grandfather’s middle name as Max. So after all these years I’m not sure whether it is Marx or Max that was erroneous. It had something to do with a request for a duplicate of a birth certificate in Philly way back before copy machines were invented.
The same thing happened with the spelling of our last name in that hand-generated duplicate copy. The “duplicate” version contained one less letter than the last name spelling our family has used for more than a hundred years.
I found it very disconcerting to discover so much doubt in the spelling of these names.
Karl Marx died in 1883, about a year before my paternal grandfather was born. I had always assumed that my grandfather’s middle name was intended to honor Karl Marx who I believe was something of a rock star among Germans at that time.
Similar spelling errors occurred at Ellis Island when an ancestor of my wife first arrived from Europe.
@ Q Shtik:
It was also not uncommon for the folks at Ellis Island to change the last name of immigrants. My maiden name was originally a weird one, and the spelling was Anglicized at Ellis Island. The same thing happened with my ex’s grandfather’s last name, except they changed it altogether.
The Q. lineage is quite impressive. And to think: all roads led to Ruckers!
A rock star? Among Germans or German Jews?
Have you taken a genetic test? Or have you been holding out on us all this time?
Well, CFN’rs, gather close;
The Situational Awareness, this Am, reports;
INDIA TO UPGRADE SU-30 FOR WAR WITH CHINA: Citing Russian Su-30 losses in Ukraine, India is upgrading its Su-30 Flankers with indigenous sensors and modern Russian engines. Indian media claims this is in preparation for a war with China sometime in the next decade while the Su-30 is still operational. (AC: India’s involvement in a U.S.-China war would force the Chinese into a two-front conflict, which China will be unlikely to sustain. – J.V.)
…Our State Department is beginning to seem almost competent.
The Indians will stay put and quite.
India and China are both BRICS countries. They were working on their border issues.
I do smell the hand of the State Dept in this. Did Vickie Cookies Nuland make a trip to India after her overnighter in Kiev?
E. I’m liking your Situational Awareness reports.
On another note, what’s your opinion of the .22 WMR? I’m fixing to buy Henry’s version of the Gallery Gun, $100 more for the magnum over the .22 LR. Do you think it’s worth it?
BRH,
The hit on the 22 magnum round, currently expensive and very hard to get, is that it is not a very accurate round. I have extensive experience with the round, even and up to building a heavy target rifle for it. I have had more than a few rifles in this chambering, as well as a Winchester 9422M. None shot well, and the custom rifle I built will only hold just under 1 inch grouping at 25 yards…and this with only one brand (Winchester 22WMRHP.) CCI, will spray like a mad woman’s shit, as I have heard the ill groupings described.
I would opt for the 22lr.
I asked the right guy.
Thanks E.
…Our State Department is beginning to seem almost competent.
“almost” is doing a lot of work here.
The parents of Baby Will in NZ have lost their battle with the health authorities. The courts have given temporary guardianship of Will to said health authorities, in order to go against the wishes of his parents that, for his life-saving heart operation, he should only be given ‘unvaccinated’ blood. The authorities recognise the increased demand for ‘unvaccinated’ blood (also in other countries) but don’t want to give in to ‘anti-vaxxers’ and create a ‘dangerous precedent’.
Poor baby – poor parents. One can only hope he accidentally gets ‘unvaccinated’ blood. (They may even give him it deliberately, but covertly, to prevent a backlash, in case vaxxed blood causes him not to survive.)
Meanwhile Vernon Coleman says the child deaths from strep A aren’t random but are happening following nasal flu vaccination in particular schools and nurseries/kindergartens.
Talk about an assault on babies and children.
Omigod, how is this even possible?
I can’t fathom how it is possible to be that evil.
This is all really demoralizing and heartbreaking. Thanks for sharing the news, though. The assault on us continues.
Hi GA
As a New Zealander, I first brought this story to CFN last week. The Court has found for the health authorities and I read the court report in today’s news. Clearly the judge found the argument convincing. Reading your take on it, it appears that you think that all the qualified witnesses were lying? And that doctors might act surreptitiously in order to ‘cover their tracks’? Isn’t that a bit of a stretch?
nzherald.co.nz/nz/baby-blood-donor-vaccine-battle-judge-to-deliver-high-courts-ruling-this-evening/WG7T6AWM4BHU5PHZL37X2ZI374/
Hi Suzin
Keep cruizin.
Seriously.
I think Take-a-Poo got a sex change.
Me too – the flat earther post on the previous thread was pushing it, though. You’d think they’d try not to be quite so obvious.
“Reading your take on it, it appears that you think that all the qualified witnesses were lying?”
From your laughable article:
“White [lawyer for the health authority] said the safety of the vaccine has been proven medically and by the courts.”
(1) Is this statement true? One word answer only please – no bullshit. It’s a very straightforward, unqualified statement.
“And that doctors might act surreptitiously in order to ‘cover their tracks’? Isn’t that a bit of a stretch?
From Steve Kirsch’s article*:
“Another baby, Baby Alex, received a transfusion of vaccinated blood and got blood clots and died. Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, Washington has removed all records of this case. This is how the officials in New Zealand can testify that there is no evidence of harm… because that evidence is expunged.”
(2) Well, er, is it a bit of a stretch? Again, a one-word answer would be much appreciated. And there’s not need to say hi.
*stevekirsch.substack.com/p/new-zealand-court-takes-custody-of
I don’t know the answers GA, so I won’t play that game with you.
This is a high-publicity case, so if Baby Will suffers egregious consequences that can be proven to be an effect of vaccinated blood as opposed to the effects of his dire cardiac condition, I reckon you’ll have the answer that you want.
You’re too funny. Games are what you do.
Why don’t you take the time to watch this session of Reiner Fuellmich’s International Crimes Investigative Committee and let me know if you’d put vaxxed blood into a sick baby’s body. Imagine if it were your baby.
video.icic-net.com/w/sdWHeFYZcMM4p4RvSncnDF
Given how utterly evil these people are, it’s not at all unlikely that they’d give the baby unvaxxed blood products just so that they could say ‘look, he got vaccinated blood and he’s fine’. Which would be great for Baby Will, but not for those babies coming after him.
Baby Will is at least alive (so far). There has been such a surge in miscarriages that there are many babies lost. I suppose Ms. “Suzin” probably chalks that up to lies or conspiracy theories, too.
Pro tips:
If a story is covered 24/7 by the media, it is probably a lie.
If a story is ignored by the media, that does not mean it isn’t important. The odds are good that it is more important than the ones covered.
If the courts refuse to take a case, that does not mean that there are no grounds for a suit.
If someone is prosecuted by the State, that does not mean they are guilty.
If someone is not prosecuted by the State for egregious offenses, that does not mean they are innocent.
The “justice system” in this country is as corrupted and captured as the regulatory agencies and the media.
That is all.
Good rules of thumb to follow, indeed.

?? Russian motorised rifle units continue fighting with the AFU in the centre of #Maryinka.
?? Ukrainian terrorists shelled populated areas of the #Donetsk agglomeration with barrel and rocket artillery, including residential buildings and civilian facilities in #Donetsk. At least four civilians were killed.
??#Kherson Direction on Southern Front:
?? Ukrainian militants shelled the town of #Tavriysk with mortars. Residential buildings, a school, a gas pipeline and a power line were damaged. Civilians were not injured.
A friend broke off a piece of his basil plant, placed in in a cup of water, and gave it to me.
He said all I had to do was set it in the window and keep the water level up, and it will grow and give me all the fresh basil I want?
Well it actually works. The plant is getting bigger from nothing but water and sun light; and I think air?
Will this trick work for cannabis?
Watermelon?
Fried chicken?
*asking for a friend*
lol, Thwack is back.
Go ahead and experiment. It’s “Science”.
Remember the Night Gallery episode where the thug cut off an old woman’s finger. She planted it before she died. It grew and she got revenge.
And collard greens 🙂
No chitlins?
@ thwack:
You can start many plants from cuttings, but definitely not all of them. Plants in the mint family (which includes basil) are particularly easy.
I’ve tried starting plants from cuttings of wisteria, figs, and passionflower, and it didn’t work–even though these plants can supposedly be grown from cuttings. So success may vary. It probably depends of factors like whether the cuttings were taken from new growth in the spring and whether they were “slipped with heels,” which means that a sliver of the stem that the cutting was attached to was taken with the cutting. Some plants, like figs, will develop roots and then die when you repot them. My daughter started several gooseberry plants from cuttings taken from a gooseberry that was about ten feet tall, growing up in a tree. Several plants survived and several didn’t.
You can supposedly grow roses from cuttings, but I’ve never had any success with that either. My elderly neighbor said you could do that by inserting the rose stem into a potato (which probably needs to be in a container of water).
If you have some particular plant in mind that you want to start from cuttings, you should be able to get the directions from an internet search.
@ thwack:
You should get that basil potted up, as it will not survive indefinitely on just air and water. It’s nice to have a basil plant as an indoor houseplant in winter. They’re annuals, but they’ll live through the winter if you bring them indoors. I’m not sure how long-lived they are. Plants have a lifespan, just like people or dogs and cats. Some are long-lived, and some are not. Some plants that are sold as annuals, like Dianthus, will actually live two or three years. They are just perennials that have a short life-span. Some perennials, like peonies, have a very long life-span and may well outlive you.
@ thwack:
Now you’ve got me wondering if you can grow lisianthus (often called “Lizzies” in the trade) from cuttings. I have developed kind of a mania for lisianthus. You can check them out at Johnny’s Selected Seeds, which has a great selection.
They are a superb cut flower, originally bred from a Texas wildflower called Eustoma. You can grow them from seed, but this might be a little challenging for a beginner, as you have to start the seeds in December, around here, and the seedlings are almost microscopic and stay that way for months.
One of my friends grows them as cut flowers for the farmers’ market and has griped about poor germination–and she grows hundreds and hundreds of plants from seed every year. I never had a problem with germination. It’s the business of taking care of all those little bitty seedlings for months and months that is troublesome.
The seeds are kind of expensive, but I got a bunch from Nikitovka Seeds in Ukraine for cheap–and then splurged on a bunch more from Johnny’s. I’ll be starting the seeds in a week or so, as soon as I can clear out a space and get out the plant lights, which they will need.
@ thwack:
If you want to grow cannabis, there are many groovy varieties available online, in the form of seeds.
One of my friends is a licensed grower of weed. Very skilled. You need to find someone like that, if you’re really into it–though I have known countless people who have a plant or two on the windowsill.
Happy 81st Pearl Harbor Day
You old sentimentalist, you!
Something to be said about the hope evinced normally by jhk. In my reading of Luisa Piccaretta, it is revealed to her by Our Lord that the trinity is faith, hope and charity. That none of these can exist alone. That all three are required to know God. He gives a long explanation that I probably have wrong. But, in our current situation, without hope, why wouldn’t the injured and the gullible opt out of this life once they understand what they have mistakenly believed as fact.
They are drugged, hypnotized, and will jump like lemming when called to do so.
In apparition news, we are told to pray for America, that what is left of Canada will be absorbed into the US once this is done. That plate techtonics will increase due to an space object that will be clearly seen, like a second sun. (Nibiru I think).
^^^^^^^^^^^
I read 500 comments, did anybody say Jacinda Arden just said,
Dairy is a thing of the past.
!
Oh and in arthritus news, an old pro sportsman has been telling me to take borax for years, and I just took a supplement called Osteo Ease, and my hip stopped hurting and my limp disappeared. I looked at the ingredients…..boron plus herbs.
I think humor is the way to go with our beloved misguided ones. I sent them all fauchi votives to worship at the alter of the science.
Lots of new stuff on mewe vax
Dire visions on afterthewarning and countdowntothekingdom
Happy Hanukkah soon I think!
Don’t call it Country Crock® margarine (some of the most unhealthy stuff ever concocted) … it’s now, “plant-based butter” !
@ anmariwakaranai:
I will have to try the Osteo Ease. I’m getting kind of desperate here.
I don’t use the N word gratuitously, because I realize it can hurt people who don’t deserve to be hurt. As I’ve always said, people of all races, as human beings, deserve to be treated with dignity and respect until they prove otherwise.
Do people avoid using the word because they don’t wish to offend, or do they do so because they believe they themselves will be stigmatized and looked upon as being shallow and intolerant, be seen as mindless primitives filled with senseless hate?
My take is more the latter, but probably close to an even split. Self-image becomes paramount and can override honest self-expression.
Simplifying, one could say that it’s in large part fear that avoids use of the N word. One could also say that its use would be mostly counterproductive considering the nation’s racial sensibilities, however misguided.
As the white population continues to decline, fear of offending will grow as black power and influence increase. Is this fear linked in some way to the Right not taking to the streets en masse to protest against the insane policies of the Left?
Or are we now just afraid of the police state we have become? Hmmm, arrested for using the N word. ‘What are you in for honky?’ ‘Well, er, ah, I effed up some red neck white bigot, bro!
So, it’s a word and a stick of dynamite. I’ll take the dynamite over fear any day of the week. Sometimes it’s justified, appropriate and necessary to call a spade a spade.
Thanks for verifying for me what an utter depraved POS you are. I appreciate it.
Mary asks why and Tusc gives a thoughtful response. And she responds like this after saying this:
I see resorting to a word like that as intellectually lazy at best and just tantrum-throwing at worst.
Jarek: I think her depraved nature was outraged by the high quality of his response.
Tusc, she called the Dalai Lama a pos too. So you’re in good company.
Thanks for posting that, J. Even from her, I’m surprised. This is a good example of not only her limited reasoning capability, but of her actual emotional and psychological turmoil.
One might say well, that’s going too far, analyzing from one single line response, but it’s been more than one response and it’s been more than one line, conveying a certain sense of hostile insecurity.
She tries to compete with men but is all too often outdone, and it’s lame responses like the above that supply the evidence. She seems to be a combustible hodge-podge of incompetency, insecurity, immaturity, indelicacy, inanity, inarticulateness, inadequacy, and, last but not least, an insidious, boring instigator.
TS is the ultimate neocon cockwomble.
His predictions are worse than those of our departed Rednut.
Cockwomble (noun): Surprised to learn that this is a fairly mainstream Brit slang word used throughout English speaking Europe. I’m gonna have to start working this one in from time to time, as I’m sure it would have all the locals here scratching their heads.
https://wordpanda.net/definition/cockwomble
Wow, a whole 3 paragraphs without mentioning your obsession with forced anal sex.
I consider that an improvement.
I covered what I needed to say. Why use excess words?
It was what’s referred to as a “rhetorical question.” You can google the definition for it.
Good for you tucson. I think it’s really cool you prefer dynamite over fear. So weird that some peope pose like they are all against the system and then get coaxed by a word to tow the emotionally charged drivel of the system (lol).
@ tuscsonspur:
Well, if you are arrested for using the N word, those other cons will laugh you out of the tank.
Counsel to King Edwin of Northumbria anent the new religion, Christianity:
The present life of man upon earth, O king, seems to me, in comparison with that time which is unknown to us, like to the swift flight of a sparrow through the house wherein you sit at supper in winter, with your ealdormen and thegns, while the fire blazes in the midst, and the hall is warmed, but the wintry storms of rain or snow are raging abroad.
The sparrow, flying in at one door and immediately out at another, whilst he is within, is safe from the wintry tempest; but after a short space of fair weather, he immediately vanishes out of your sight, passing from winter into winter again.
So this life of man appears for a little while, but of what is to follow or what went before we know nothing at all.
If, therefore, this new doctrine tells us something more certain, it seems justly to deserve to be followed.
Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People
Jarek: What a striking image! But did Paganism really give no guidance at all on these matters? Hard to believe, but perhaps it had degenerated at that point. In any case, it did help keep the hall (this world) warm and cozy. Christianity often fails to do that. Under the current reign of Christian error, we can’t even have our own countries any more, much less kings and soon, not wives and children either.
If I had to take a guess it is because today’s Christianity generally focuses on just a few teachings and select cliche verses from the Bible. Today’s Christianity has absolutely no clue that for example ethno nationalism, self defense, and just warfare are encouraged and identified with virtue in the Bible.
Too bad God is not on Twitter. In the days of King Saul he would have been. Samuel would have paid 40 billion Drachmas for Twitter no doubt.
@Jarek Putin does not Yuk-Reign with your Cristian error. Family values before nonsense as you know.
* Christian not Cristian, Jesus Christ I spelled it wrong.
Yes, the Lord does not allow error to prosper. God is on twitter my chien. All things in their due time. But you are correct. Russia is the blessed party and the US corporation is within the ranks of the accursed in this particular ordeal.
Well said. Like Elrond’s “love” for our Constitution. One foolish sentence by Jefferson, All men are created equal. All the Communist rubbish can be deduced from that. It’s all he knew or needed to know.
Thank you J! Yeah, I mean to some degree perhaps that is human nature? It’s like holding on to things you like to hear, or hearing what you want to hear? The rest that you don’t like you leave out.
Jarek asked, “But did Paganism really give no guidance at all on these matters?”
Seems like a fair question:
m.youtube.com/watch?v=w6KCpxMPEzs
High Paganism like the Greek Mysteries or the High Priests of Druidism are a very different thing than the common religions. Just as a learned monk seeking the EXPERIENCE of Theosis (not the theory) in prayer is a very different thing than the drunk who sometimes attends a storefront church on Holllywood Blvd. His experience? That Jesus is his buddy. Ok, then!
What is your experience (rhetorical)? Kesa has never had an experience, except for her faith – and that might be quite real and constant. I’ve had many, thank you, O Lord.
Some people have mystical experiences and then lapse right back into agnosticism or even atheism. A constant experience of faith is better than that unhappy condition.
Interesting article from Kathleen Burke (don’t know who she is) via Tess Lawrie, on mobile phones and EMF dangers generally. I only look at my phone a couple of times a day, usually, to check for messages from my kids. And I only take it out with me if I’m going to be waiting for buses and want to know the bus times at a stop without an electronic display (needing to know how long the bus is going to be in real time is one of life’s more surprising addictions – I should work on that first). I spend too long on my laptop, though, obviously, despite the pile of books waiting for my undivided attention.

Although it’s not mentioned in the article, the hypocrisy/cognitive dissonance of our Owners is off the charts – flooding the world wih 5G while ‘rewilding’ the planet.
And, of course, rewilding is codespeak for geofencing.
Speaking of geofencing, Basil Valentine of UK Column was on Patrick Henningsen’s TNT radio program today talking about the English cities participating in climate lockdowns.
A key feature of the programs: residnents of participating cities are required to stay in their districts and may leave no more than twice a week.
Electronic gates will be set up on roads and will be equipped with license-plate scanners.
Looks like “conspiracy theorists” are 10 for 10.
GA, what’s going on with Albanians in Londontown? Have they taken the city? There appears to be thousands of young military age Albanian men running amok thru the streets, forming up into gangs and committing violent crimes. More alarming still, thousands more are illegally entering the UK every month coming across the channel in hundreds of small boats. Are they in the UK to stay? Is the UK still a sovereign country? I’m beginning to view the UK as a free for all post industrial slum stuck up in the bleak N Atlantic, without much hope for the future. I was looking at some video of London and I didn’t see any English people on the streets; WHERE DID THEY GO?
They went to Spain
I went to school overseas with brits during the hooligan days
In the subsequent decades I could tell London was no longer English to the point I mo longer had any interest in returning
Still, the question remained unanswered until a few years back. There in marabea, drunken sunburnt seniors and drunken, loud fighting youth in all their splendid glory
RE: Brit hooligans. They made the funniest bar drunks ever, though. We had a contingent of Brits come into Incirlik AB, TR back in the day after the Gulf War Festival I in the early nineties. OUT OF CONTROL! It finally got to where they had to ban them from the all ranks club on base, so they stayed out in Tent City and raised holy hell all night there instead. And they were merciless with the poor Frenchies, who practiced the buddy system in the showers, washing each others’ backs.
BRITNEY IS FREE!!! Praise the Lord!! So is the “Merchant of Death”
A pot smokin’, ball dribbler, drug smuggling, man/woman for a gun dealing international arms seller responsible for many deaths. Sounds like a square deal. Good job Joe!! The LBGTQRSTVYU voting crowd is in the bag now.
I guess the Z-man wanted Victor Bout released because he’s been having a hard time peddling all the weapons we’ve been sending him. Slo-Joe needed his 10% cut and was getting impatient.
Send her back stamped return to sender!
I guess she’s already on the schedule to open up the Superbowl with a rousing edition of “God Bless America”. On a knee of course.
To be fair she did not belong in jail for being stupid.
These kinds of laws should be looked at for a small amount of personal use and the person sent back to home country with a word of caution never return to Russia.
Had she been dealing then she belonged in jail for a while and then returned with the same caution.
It just shows how stupid this person is traveling with a substance deemed illegal in most countries and flying with it even more stupid.
Yes, the sentence seemed a little harsh. There’s a temptation to want to punish her for arrogance and an attitude that she should be above the law–presumably as a sports figure and a POC and an LGBT+. (I don’t think it was stupidity.)
So you’re left wondering what the penalty should be for the real (and frankly more serious) offenses; namely, expecting people to kowtow to you.
To be fair she did not belong in jail for being stupid.
benr,
I cannot agree. “Stupid” is EXACTLY the reason most people are in jail.
El, I would have to think Putin would have traded Paul Whelan for Bout in a second. Whelan was just a nobody really, worth little in political value to SloJoe. A deplorable throwaway. Joe’s puppet masters know where the value lies.
My main point is her crime harmed no one else.
Now if her stupid vape pen had caught on fire on the plane and injured someone else ok.
Had she injured someone resisting arrest ok or been driving impaired.
Had she been sparking up and actually high when arrested a small fine and a couple of months would have been appropriate.
I am not saying I approve of drug use and think people smoking dope are stupid but for the most part that is on them.
I concede most criminals are not too bright.
I agree, it was ridiculous to jail someone over cannabis oil.
This is funny. I got a Covid survey in the advert box below asking how likely I would be to get a booster shot in the next 30 days. I said “Definitely Will Not,” of course, and the survey results afterward showed that to be the winning answer, at 35%. “Probably Will Not” was second at 30%, with “Definitely Will” a distant third at 18%.
I see the boxes move when you click on them, or at least this one did.
She broke Russian law.
Apparently they do not want foreigners bringing cannabis oil into Russia.
Nolo is not a defense in the USA, and there is not reason it should be a defense in Russia.
Saint,
Yes, but Biden left a former US Marine in a Russian jail. I feel almost physically sick over this incident.
What a scam. Exchanging a harmless citizen for an actual criminal.
Yes amazing, Griner is finally free and will not have to spend years sewing Russian military uniforms and parachutes after all!
The biggest irony is that Biden released a noted arms and weapons dealer back to Russia, while he continues to vilify all Americans that own guns and support the right to bear arms.
Good job Joey Boy, you’ve sold out the American people once again!
It never seemed likely to me that she’d ever do real time.
A quick note to Jarek;
Los Angeles, CA
Size: TBD
Activity: Antifa and other Far Left organizations coordinate a fundraiser for Food not Bombs, an organization that distributes food to the houseless in Los Angeles.
Location: Church of Fun, 4109 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA
The “Church of Fun”?
Located in West Hollywood?
And you call me “blasphemous”?
This is another hilarious American misconception of Christianity. American people are like some of the most psyoped people on the planet lol. The idea that having fun is not good or blasphemous is not Biblical at all. In fact the more biblical ideal from what I see is joyfulness, laughter, and cheerfulness.
Now the true question I have is the sincerity of a group which believes in firebombing and murdering their opponents and enemies conducting a fundraiser called “Food not Bombs”. The psyops keep a rollin lol!
” In fact the more biblical ideal from what I see is joyfulness, laughter, and cheerfulness.”
SSL,
Perhaps, but I would like to see some references from the Old Testament….
Making me work for the money lol, ok, one moment please 🙂
And David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. 2nd Samuel 6:14
You’ve never watched “Footloose” have you?
Ok Ely – these particular verses are from the book of Psalms
16:11 – Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
5:11 – But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
32:11 – Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
67:3 – 67:4 – Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
If god is on Twitter and I’m not, does that make me an atheist cur?
Of course not!! You have free will and can make that choice. Everyone has their own path.
I encouraged him to smoke some pot and put on new eyes, but wouldn’t.
There’s nothing like getting high and reading the scriptures.
LOL, have you ever done that before?
Jarek, Mary SSL and others;
I suppose I should recant my remark…there might be joy in the Old Testament, but also a lot of celestial anger and smiting. My very limited knowledge of the two books proves that I should keep my opinions to myself.
I suppose, also, that a soporific such as marijuana helps suspend critical thought, to the extent that. I should then not believe my goddamned lying eyes. Perhaps so. I feel, at this very moment, that I could make a deal with God…to become a better human being if only Mz. Griner remained in Russia to pay for her ignorance and contempt for the laws and customs of a host country.
I remain.
Rankled.
I understand your rankledness
There’s simply nothing like a good smiting from time to time…
It’s a group that serves great vegetarian food to people in parks. I used to eat at one long ago. It’s sad they’ve gone with the antifa, but I’m not surprised given the current climate. The leader of my local chapter at that time was a very gentle leftist who eschewed them and the violence of the Left in general.
Ah ok, that is very interesting. And yeah I agree, it isn’t surprising they embraced Antifa in the current climate. Sort of along the lines of that saying the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
“Food Not Bombs” might make sense if they were sending food to one of the countries that the US is bombing.
Last I heard, the US is not bombing its homeless in LA or anywhere else (of course, this could be subject to change…).
There are plenty of churches that are not Christian ones.
LOL. Gray is ok sometimes huh. Too funny!!
2 second google:
https://carm.org/minor-groups-issues/list-of-cults-and-non-christian-groups/
One young man was transferred by his grocery chain to the Innsmouth store. He had to live there since commuting would take too long. His pastor told him in no uncertain terms not to join any of the churches in Innsmouth as they had all been taken over by the Order of Dagon, that promised physical transformation and immortality in this life.
See Lovecraft’s “The Shadow Over Innsmouth”.
I was trying to make an analogy between this and one of Mary’s pet obsessions but it looks like it didn’t work 😛
@ BRH, Elysianfield and any other gun aficionados on this board
I recently finished reading the novel White Noise by Don Delillo and am waiting for the movie of the same name to become available on Netflix as of Dec 30th.
In the novel there is mention of a 25 caliber Zumwalt automatic. I wondered if such a gun actually existed. A Google search told me this:
Response to Journal Article by Steven Carter Regarding White Noise by Don Delillo
In a journal article, “Delillo’s White Noise”, Steven Carter analyzes about relationship regarding the book and the world around Delillo’s time. In White Noise by Don Delillo, Jack Gladney received a “.25-caliber Zumwalt automatic” that was made in Germany. He received this gun from Babette’s father (241). Steven Carter argues that although Zumwalt’s automatic gun is fictional; the name of it is not (1). It relates to a real life story of Elmo Zumwalt III and his father, Elmo Zumwalt II. Elmo Zumwalt III suffered toxic carcinogenic contamination because of inhaling a toxic gas when doing his mission during Vietnam War. His father is the architect who designs this gaseous weapon that was used during Vietnam War. In White Noise, Jack Gladney was shot at his wrist by Willie Mink using the same gun that Jack used to shoot him twice. In result of this situation, Jack could finally see Willie Mink, his enemy, as a human. It is similar to Zumwalts’ story where through the suffering of Elmo Zumwalt III from the toxic gas, Elmo Zumwalt II could realize that he had killed a lot of people using the carcinogenic weapon that he invented.
I agree with Steven Carter’s argument that the book, White Noise, by Don Delillo is a fictional story that implicitly describe about global life around or during World War II. Although at first I thought that “.25-caliber Zumwalt automatic” was just a gun name, after doing my own research regarding the information in Steve Carter’s article, I found out that it is actually true. I thought this story was just another fictional story when I started reading it, but after reading Steven Carter’s article that talks about the relationship between the book and our world during World War II, it seems to be making more sense. Everyone was scared about death and the use of chemical weapon during World War II. Similar to White Noise where the main character, Jack and Babette seems to be scare of death and the toxic around Blacksmith, the city where Jack Gladney and his family are living in. Furthermore, the toxic gas killed a lot more people than what it was intended to in the book which is similar during World War II where the carcinogenic gas invented by Elmo Zumwalt II killed a lot of people during the Vietnam War including his own son. After watching his son’s suffering , Elmo Zumwalt II then realized that his enemies are also humans which brings bad memories to Elmo Zumwalt II. This is also similar to Jack Gladney’s life after being shot at his wrist. He finally realized that his enemy is also human. These situations proves similarities between our world and the fictional world created by Don Delillo in his novel, White Noise.
Excellent article. More people (late to the party) figuring out the entire “pandemic” was nothing but a hoax:
DRASTIC Founder Renounces Lab Leak Theory of COVID’s Origins
The testimony of DRASTIC founder J.J. Couey provides powerful firsthand insight into the perpetuation of the lab leak theory as a controlled opposition narrative.
“Couey now believes the illusion of a coronavirus pandemic has been spun almost entirely through the recoding of ordinary all-cause mortality as “COVID deaths” through manipulative death coding and the widespread abuse of faulty PCR tests that would register positive due to the presence of just about any coronavirus; essentially, the entire response to COVID has been one giant fraud.”
https://michaelpsenger.substack.com/p/drastic-founder-renounces-lab-leak
Hard to know exactly what to believe anymore, which I believe is also advantageous to the cause. Whatever the precise details, I still believe the overall effort, whatever the details, was a hoax, and I continue to believe like CJ Hopkins that focusing on the details, which we’ll probably never know for certain, is to some extent to miss the forest for the trees. The overarching purpose for all this chicanery – the rolling out of the digital ID’s, money, and all the rest of it – is the most important thing.
No doubt, that is the end concern, but if we don’t know how they bamboozle us, then we keep falling for it over and over. That allows them to incrementally move forward with their agenda.
True to a degree. Yes, the rudimentary details are necessary for it to make sense to our skeptical minds, but beyond that it’s just a waste of time, even allowing for the false information traps that are so often employed on the back end. The 9-11 story about directed energy and /or particle beam weapons being used to take down the towers comes to mind here. So very elaborate and James Bond’ish, when all it took were thermite explosives planted during a “fireproofing” upgrade and some drone aircraft for special effects to pull off the caper. In the meantime, if you put a full investigation by impartial investigators to a vote even today over 20 years later, the public would say “hell no,” what in the world for. We all know it was Islamic hijackers that done it!
There was a demolitions expert from Europe, from a top firm, who said it was clearly a demolition. He died under mysterious cirucumstances, ofc.
Not that anyone with an IQ above room temperature needs a pro to tell them that what they saw was a demoltion.
N.O.:
He was Dutch.
Dan something.
I recall seeing a video talk of his; very convincing.
A couple of months later he was dead.
Rolling out of digital ID’s, money, and all the rest of it.
The thing is you can’t worry about this kind of thing. Worry won’t accomplish anything. Worry will only make you sick.
These things are already here and their existence is denied. People have multiple digital ids. Ids that will be around long after you are dirt. The social security digital id sends checks to millions of people every month, that is not so bad. These people earned their money for the most part. People who had grunt jobs all their lives. Then there is your drivers license. When you were 16 years old that digital id made your day.
Digital money is a plastic card. I have about 7 of those. How many do you have?
Most people are fine with all this. Most people will give their freedom away for a Snickers Bar.
The forest for the trees and the whole word wants to make plywood. Wacha gonna do.
They see your paranoia as crazy and their are a lot more of them than there are of you.
Don’t worry be happy. Civilizing this planet of the apes is a lost cause.
The forest for the trees and the whole world wants to make plywood. (I made the editor on my own page able to edit comments)
Point me to the digital ID that is connected to a CBDC that can be turned off when I post something on the Internet or say something that our ruling class disapproves of.
Point me to the digital ID that bars me from entering a grocery store to purchase food for my family.
When I say you are an idiot, I mean it.
Maybe I enjoy yanking your chain.
You can’t answer.
And it is hilarious.

Why in the world are you posting here, then?
By the way, I still remember all your hyperventilation during the initial stages of the CovidCon. Guess all that’s forgotten now, eh?
I don’t remember you at all. I have even less desire to make up things about you. Go fuck yourself. You don’t know squat about me.
He has identified you for what you are.
An emotional manlet returning after the ban.
LOL! Looks like I sparked the Dawg’s shock collar. No, you wouldn’t remember me. I was one of the very few here throwing cold water on the whole thing right from the start as it was obvious to me that it was just another version of 9-11 agitprop being rolled out. Fear and hysteria everywhere based on nothing more than a few hyperbolic MSM accounts that were obviously total bullshit. Yes, I remember all that every well, even the hysterical run on toilet paper of all things. People are indeed sheep, and apparently many dawgs are too. And here we are a few years later and most people’s belief in the Con is just as strong as ever. Paper trained compliant lil’ puppy dawgs everywhere I look!
But not the death jab to lower world population? Oh dude…..
It wasn’t a lab leak from Wuhan, it was a lab leak from a US gain-of-function bioweapon research lab which was brought to China by the US military in November 2019.
There was no pandemic, in that part he’s right. It was simply declared by the WHO. The spread of the virus was not natural. Wuhan, Iran and Italy? Then a nursing home in Washington state? Then nursing homes in NY and NJ? Please, dude, no way.
Corona viruses are not unstable, that is a lie. They are known to be relatively stable.
There is a difference between regular pneumonia and covid pneumonia. You can’t label regular pneumonia “covid pneumonia” because covid pneumonia is bilateral and widespread, whereas regular pneumonia has a focal point. Covid pneumonia shows on a CT scan as bilateral ”ground glass” appearance throughout both lungs, much like the ”vaping disease” that killed those young men in the summer of 2019.
The PCR tests are unreliable. They were used to inflate the rates of supposed disease in the US.
Why are they using them in China now? I find that suspicious.
I also find this backtracking from this dude to be suspicious. We know that they knew it was from a lab right from the beginning and it was covered up. Recently a FOIA request delivered the previously redacted emails and they show that the people on top knew, and they lied.
That isn’t “Scooby Dooing”, it is what happened.
This looks like more anti-China propaganda, as the US winds up for war with China.
“Corona viruses are not unstable, that is a lie. They are known to be relatively stable.”
What is the source of that statement?
At the beginning of (or actually before) the covid op there was much talk about how rapidly coronaviruses mutate. This was presented as a known feature of these viruses.
They cause a lot of colds, and the rapidity of mutation is one one reason no vaccine against the common cold (at least the cc’s caused by coronaviruses) has been developed.
Now, since covid-19, I was unable to find any info about coronaviruses that wasn’t basically about covid-19. IMO it looks like an ex post facto slant on the basic science of these viruses.
So, I would appreciate finding out what your sources are on this.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, they have yet to show us the virus.
LOL.
Sigh, Islander. When this first started I googled corona viruses and got a pre-2020 article that stated matter-of-factly that corona viruses are known to be more stable.
Unfortunately that is now down the Memory Hole. I agree with you that the propaganda from 2020 was that “they mutate rapidly”.
I always ignored the post 2020 propaganda.
Just now I tried to google the issue and got a ton of “SARS can remain stable on surfaces for days!!!!” which was also the propaganda we got back then and which is why bleach and lysol were wiped out with toilet paper back then. Then I got a shitload of “corona viruses mutate like crazy” post 2020 propaganda like you mention.
I could find no article written before the 2020 psy ops started.
I did find one article that mentioned the stability of corona viruses from back in Dec 2020, because they wanted to assure people to take the vaccine and it would work forever, since corona viruses are stable.
You know that that line is now also down the Memory Hole, but here:
”In fact, SARS-CoV-2 seems to have a slower rate of mutation than other RNA viruses. That’s because it belongs to a family of viruses with genetic proofreading mechanisms that can identify and remove most mistakes in its RNA when the virus replicates.”
//cosmosmagazine.com/health/coronavirus-mutates-but-is-actually-quite-stable/
OK, Islander, I tried using result hunter search engine and found this…
”First, the polymerases of the vast majority of RNA viruses lack 3? exonuclease proofreading activity and hence are more error-prone than those of DNA viruses [9, 10]. The exception to this rule is provided by coronaviruses, a family of positive-strand RNA viruses encoding a complex RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that has a 3? exonuclease domain [11].”

We know they drugged and killed people off the street in NYC who didn’t have so-called “covid” and who’s to say they didn’t just put people with the flu into the nursing homes?
I’m with this guy. I think they just took a naturally occurring cold season, added a few murders here and there, threw ill patients in places they didn’t used to (see: all the mandates to put sick people in nursing homes) and then screamed “pandemic!”
And I maintain that China’s zero covid policy is horrifying, draconian and their system of digital authoritarianism which the PTB want to replicate in the western world is also horrid.
He says he has a family to feed? Yeah, that would explain this long bullshit essay.
As the evidence grows, he denounces it?
As Russia demands that the gain-of-function bioweapon research labs be shut down he declares that there is no such thing?
I call bullshit.
I would trust Dr. Chris Martensen any day over some swarmy guy on the internet declaring repentance.

Without autopsies, we’ll never know.
The death rate didn’t go up exponentially until the vaccines were introduced.
If covid19 & variants were bioweapons, they sure weren’t all that effective.
I also take issue with the press putting out alarms on variants, that never really materialized. Same M.O., IMHO.
Just because they didn’t succeed in making a killer virus doesn’t mean they didn’t try.
And they are still trying. And they will keep trying until they succeed unless they are stopped.
Every casual dismissal of their attempts is enabling the mad scientists to continue their research, funded by evil overlords.
If they finally succeed in making an unstoppable killer virus I will be just as pissed at the “They have never isolate a virus” Fauci enablers as I will at the “Omigod we’re all going to die, but not if we wear a mask” media slurpers.
How do you know they tried to or are still trying to? I have not seen evidence of that, only speculation.
And if they release killer viruses they do themselves in. Which also makes no sense to me.
I’m afraid that speculation and circumstantial evidence is not enough for me. I have seen lots of scientists show what the clot shot does, but none have shown what covid does. We only have stories.
I think it’s probably similar to what happened with AIDS. They took regularly occurring seasonal illness, added to it with ‘cures’ and then called it a pandemic.
All of the things they did as an excuse to battle covid killed a lot of people. Such as withholding medical care and putting off operations, and other treatments. And they did drug people and kill them on ventilators. Now THAT is provable. It’s in the news how they ordered 10K of them in NY alone.
I would argue that people who believe what the mainstream media said and continue to say – that covid is a threat – are the ones who are misguided.
Both groups are dangerous.
To be fair she did not belong in jail for being stupid.
These kinds of laws should be looked at for a small amount of personal use and the person sent back to home country with a word of caution never return to Russia.
Had she been dealing then she belonged in jail for a while and then returned with the same caution.
It just shows how stupid this person is traveling with a substance deemed illegal in most countries and flying with it even more stupid.
I agree, it was ridiculous to jail someone over cannabis oil.
Yes, the sentence seemed a little harsh. There’s a temptation to want to punish her for arrogance and an attitude that she should be above the law–presumably as a sports figure and a POC and an LGBT+. (I don’t think it was stupidity.)
So, you’re left wondering what the penalty should be for the real (and frankly more serious) offenses; namely, expecting people to kowtow to you.
Instead of bitching on an American blog, why don’t you three take your bitching to the Duma or the Politburo.
You really think that an American should be able to go to a foreign nation and flout that country’s laws if they think they’re a little harsh” and get away with it, don’t you?
Agreed. I think Putin’s main point for Biden and Co. was, “I can be mean, unreasonable, and vindictive just like you can too. And Russia is under no onus whatsoever to kowtow to what silly-assed Americans think is “unfair or unjustly harsh.”
Further, Biden giving up a “convicted arms dealer” in exchange had to be painful indeed, as he was a kindred spirit to just about everyone in DC these days. They probably had him “stashed” in the best Five Star hotel in the city prior to sending him back, with hot and cold running hookers at his beck and call 24/7/365.
As for Griner, she’s had her twenty minutes of fame now, so I hope she enjoys it while it lasts. She/he will soon be forgotten, and not a minute too soon.
This was political period end of story.
Social media exploits human vulnerability by amplifying stories with a lot of shares, comments and likes by creating posts designed to provoke outrage and to be reflexively shared, with an eye toward one-upsmanship (woops!)
That’s right! Get us together tom! But somehow i think we are all a little swept away by the social media onslaught.
He is giving the liberal line pushing censorship.
It’s for our own good to be cut off, doncha know?
You certainly don’t want to be exposed to Forbidden Truths that your ruling overlords don’t want you to hear, right?
Wow! tom is so snaky and I fall for his snakiness all the time! Thanks for the check Paula!
I actually agree with lil’ t on this one for once. But mostly, I think social media is just a waste of time. It gives every idiot a megaphone and there are a lot of idiots out there.
can’t speak to lil’ t’s “snakiness.” I think he’s mostly just Minnetonkan.
Well, that is the stance of our overlords, Dis.
They want the only idiots to have the ability to speak to be their own paid idiots, and the rest of us should just shut up and swallow it, with no ability to check with other people who have facts that contradict them, or opinions that expose their slant.
Top down media only, beamed into each house, car or phone directly to each individual person, with no way for the target to communicate with other people horizontally, is their goal.
Nope, we need to hold onto freedom of speech.
Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures EXIST. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab.

No worries, kids. According to K-Dog this stuff is already here and normal.
Don’t join the cultists. Be human.
How much food do you grow for yourself Night Owl. Have you ever tried. People don’t have freedom and you are deluded if you think you do. Without money you have nothing in America.
Do you spend time living as a mountain man Night Owl. No you don’t and you never have. You are a wanna-be here to insult because you don’t really have anything to say. People stopping you from using a grocery store? Really Night Owl, that is paranoid. Did Alex Jones tell you to act like this? Adults, don’t act that way. Get some help little man.
Why not answer my question about digital currency and your batshit claims?
I know why.
You are very unclear. Your bank accounts can be wiped out at the touch of a button and you maintain we do not have digital currency. You don’t buy groceries with gold. It isn’t legal tender. Green paper money if you use any at all comes from a machine unless you have cans of it buried in you back yard.
You know why? ooooooooooohhh lay out your why troll. You don’t even hold a pair of deuces.
A refresher:
How is ownership of a credit card (your claim) the same as having a CBDC that can be denied at the touch of a button for expressing views the state does not want me to express?
How are the methods currently used to allow us to transact stopping me from entering a grocery store to purchase food for my family?
In your own time. We both know you have nothing.
LOL.
This is priceless. The anitfa thugs who attacked the women protesting the triple murderer (a man) from being put in a woman’s prison posted this celebration of their thuggery, with photos of them burning the banner they grabbed, which said No Men In Women’s Prisons.
It is like a satire of Ultimate Wokeness, but they mean every word.

But just ‘Be Kind’, amirite?
like Jews wanting open EU borders, bringing in murderous muslims.
Well what is really amazing is that these people who are posing as anarchists are actually doing the foot soldier work of the devil’s empire. Literally a state sanctioned terrorist squad. Now when you say be kind do you mean that as sort of like what people would typically think of as a Christian response? My personal response is that you can treat people humanely even when you vanquish them. But being kind. No, no reason to be kind to people who want to erase you.
Indeed, SSL, they are doing the foot soldier, or storm trooper, work of the empire.
When I use the term “Be kind” I am referring to the apologists for these men who chastise women who refuse to cosplay with their fetish. They insist that it is fine to play along with their delusion, because it’s the kind thing to do.
Not sure if it is referring to Christianity. I think it’s more likely referring to basic politeness, as if being forced to use the special words someone insists you use is being polite or kind.
Coercion as a virtue.
They admit putting cayenne pepper in the pies as well.
But, Proud Boys.
Yeeesh.
What wankers. I saw the video of them attacking the women. They egged them and threw pies on them and yanked their signs away. I am assuming that bragging about what is actually a misdemeanor online still won’t get them arrested.
I see on that beyond-laughable blog post, they don’t believe in prisons. That’s undoubtedly so that they can wreak havoc and not have to pay.

Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi and his wife, like Dr. Peter and Ginger Breggin, are also under legal attack basically because of the critical stance Bhakdi took from the very beginning of the covid operation.
. Bhakdi was one of the first major virology experts to speak out about characteristics of the supposed virus and also the dangers of the mRNA jabs. Now he is being persecuted (supposedly) because he called out the covid craziness in Israel. In Germany you you really can’t say “the jews” (pace David Chapelle) without getting yourself into a heap of trouble!
There is a longish account of this outrageous “lawfare” attack on Dr. Bhakdi here:
httpXX://www.thepostil.com/professor-sucharit-bhakdi-rabble-rouser/
The Postil has quite a few interesting items, but this one in particular I find pretty hard to read. Nevertheless this seems to me like an important story and I haven’t seen mention of it elsewhere. Here are some of Dr. Bhakdi’s Prizes/recognition:
1979 Justus Liebig University Giessen Prize
1980 Konstanz Medicine Prize
1987 German Society for Microbiology Prize
1988 Dr. Friedrich Sasse Prize
1989 Ludwig Schunk Prize for Medicine

They have been smearing him as a racist here for over two years.
The “Thai Nazi.”
There is no barrier on stupid that these people will not cross.
LOL.
Thai Nazi—that is absurd.
He is Buddhist.
“Buddhist Nazi”–oh, yes! That works so much better . . . .
Most of the Nazis were Buddhists.
And vice versa, of course!
Simple logic.
Even if he were not, the concept of a Thai Nazi is such a howler that I see no point in tearing things down any further.
And they keep referring to him as Thai, even though he has been a German citizen and lived in Germany for practically his whole adult life.
Let’s call Soros a Hungarian fascist!
Bourla a Greek snake oil peddler.

Yeah this one is pretty crazy but is added to the list of so many reels like this in the past year or so. I saw a sad headline earlier of like a little seven year old girl dying of myocarditis and they literally tried to say the myocarditis was brought on by the flu. When is enough going to be enough for that necessary critical mass needed for change?
I posted this before, but this guy has been keeping a pretty good list of people dying of the shots. Mostly celebrities.
The list is long. It is insane that we are watching a mass genocide being played out on a global stage.

Yeah he’s great.
Saw my Primary Care guy today for a routine appointment, not sure why I bother anymore. He was in a really pissy mood. Clipped answers to everything and shoved me out the door like he didn’t even know me. I wonder if he’s having a guilty conscience now about participating in all this nonsense, as he was a near rebel when it all first went down? Their little clinic leader, who I like to refer to as Ilsa, of “Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS” notoriety, runs a pretty tight ship, so he got told to shut up and color in no uncertain terms right after that.
Spineless lil bitch.
Owl, we are hearing of reports of an attempted coup in Germany. What’s it all about? Honestly, it seems hard to believe, but I’ve seen it in more than one place.
No one really knows, but it looks like an attempt at a reacreation of the Jan. 6 hoax — im Vaterland-Stil
According to the McMedia here in Germany, they have linked the individuals to “conspiracies” about the “deep state.”
The same tactics are used here as are and were used in the states. Enemies of globocap are branded Nazis and “Aluhut tragende Verschwörungstheoretiker.”
This is my take on it.
I thought it was weird that other countries have Black Friday. That seems like a peculiarly American custom, but it has now been adopted by other countries.
But now they are telling us that Germans decided to have a Jan. 6th style insurrection. You mean a large demonstration marred by a few rioters, like the USA?
No, a secret plot by 25 people to overthrow the government by attacking lawmakers. Not the same thing at all.
Oh, and in another American twist, they tell us they are inspired by Qanon.
Qanon? So they think that white hats in the Trump administration are going to take out child trafficking rings any day now? Somehow that doesn’t seem transferable to Germany. It’s actually no longer applicable to the US, since Trump is no longer in office, it turned out that there were no “white hats” in the military, and child trafficking continues unabated.
Alex Chistophorou, who is Greek and therefore knows a thing or two about actual coups, pointed out last night that a real coup involves the military, they target the leaders and they take over the media, none of which happened or was planned to happen, in this “coup” . (Or on Jan. 6th, for that matter).
It looks like the only actual American thing that Germany is adopting is the habit of making up bs stories and seeing if people will fall for them.
How convenient!
is all I can say.
A bout of dehydration, they say.
Hmmm. Never seen any dehydrated person ever do this, and I managed an assisted living facility.
Yes. Dehydration – the great catch all. Died horribly in a head on car crash? It was due to dehydration no doubt, don’t ya know?
I guess the hysteria diagnosis wasn’t playing well.
American mercenary from Mexico in Ukraine is selling jewelry made from the bones of dead Russians.
/globalnewsr.com/noticia/1310810/el-coleccionista-de-huesos
“We have already told how Ukrainians boil the skulls of dead Russian soldiers, but we could not even imagine that someone would put this case on stream. Mercenary Martinez found out that it is quite legal according to American laws (! ) send human bones if they are correctly “cleaned” (there is nothing to say about Ukrainian laws, they simply do not work).
Having fought in the “Foreign Legion” on the Ukrainian side, Martinez returned home and organized a business selling human bone rings and other “souvenirs”, including the army uniform of the Russian Armed Forces and even a drawing of a Russian soldier killed as a mercenary m – what he brags about on social media putting the price for this lot in 350$.
Now this inhuman is planning to return to Poland accompanied by a taxidermist to scale up his humanistic business. It’s understandable that the death penalty was invented for people like him, but the question is, if U.S. laws allow this, does that mean the U.S. can be called the general sponsor and accomplice of Nazism? Obviously this is true and no fairy tales of democracy and freedom are appropriate here.:”
@ua_tribunal

In a dark comedic twist, the bones are actually from Ukrainians and Zelensky gets a cut of the proceeds.
TBH, this is actually more likely than the scenario described in your post.
Morbid shit, ain’t it?
I saw someone mention that wounded Ukie soldiers that are sent to Kiev for “treatment” actually have their organs removed and then are killed.
This is supposedly under the supervision of western doctors.
Two things that are rampant in the world: Organ harvesting and human sex trafficking. And so many people living in The Truman Show are in denial of both.

Relatively “smart” integrated systems with limited predictive ability based on correct input algorithms, maybe; self-sentient AI, certainly not. Just programming parlor tricks. But I wouldn’t hold my breath – or yours either for that matter – for better humans. They seem to be a dying breed.

Back to abiotic theory of oil.
Just watched this video of Fletcher Prouty discussing the invention of the term “fossil fuel.”
httpXX://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSff0pwc1Xc
Read also the comments there. For instance:
“3 years I drilled for oil all over and not once did any geologist ever call it a fossil fuel. It’s a mineral and there is so much of it. We did core samples in southern Saskatchewan in Canada and had tens of meters of oil soaked cores. I’m talking sweet light crude. Think of that to drill 4000 meters straight down and for 100’s of meters it’s nothing but oil. That’s a lot. But nothing was said they boxed it up and we cemented the well moved the rig off they cut the casing and buried it. Makes you wonder why…cause there is more oil than you can possibly imagine under our feet.”
“My father was a pioneer in offshore oil exploration in the 50s and late in life he told me that there is so much oil in the ground that we could never get it all out, even if we were trying to run out on purpose. There is more oil currently known of and untapped than mankind has used up in all of history.”
“My dad was told many years ago by an engineer who worked for GE–when GE actually made appliances–that virtually everything they manufactured could be made to last, virtually, forever. “The problem,” he said, “is that we’d all be out of a job.” BIG BUSINESS can be as corrupt at BIG GOVERNMENT–sometimes even more so.”
” My Grandpa use to drill back in the 70’s. He said BC is riddled with Natural Gas. They would drill, log it, and cap. I was taking to him about the price of fuel. He said it’s all a big plan. Canada should have pipelines running from east to west, and never have to buy a single drop of oil from over seas. They don’t want that though. They want you to buy oil from over seas, and it comes from Saudi Arabia. The kicker is cause of the laws that the liberals put in place, no tankers on the west coast. So that tanker now has to sail in the other direction… the long way around ”
Here is another gem (in the context of the “cap” on the price of Russian oil):
“When I was in college studying Industrial Engineering, maybe it was an economics class, I’m not sure, but the professor proceeded to teach us all of the algorithms that people came up with to determine pricing of products. Maybe a lot of PHD theses, I don’t know their origin. When he got done going through all of the algorithms, he then told us, “You can forget all of that because pricing of products is really quite simple. You charge what you can get.” ”
Ha ha.
Plenty to mull over.
If you think about it for an instant, the term “fossil fuel” is ridiculous. A fossil is stone. Not oil. A layer of plant material that is compressed in some way would not turn into a fossil. It only turns into a fossil if minerals dissolved in water are deposited in the plant so as to preserve the appearance of the plant.
Here is a definition of fossil from an Australian museum:
httpXX://australian.museum/learn/australia-over-time/fossils/how-do-fossils-form/
“The term fossil literally means ‘dug up’, which comes from the Latin word fossilis. A fossil refers to any remains or traces of past life that are preserved in the rock record. Fossils include the organisms remains, such as plant or animal tissues, shells, teeth or bones and even bacteria (!), but can also include traces of life such as foot prints or worm burrows. Fossils tell us about the history of life on Earth, which we refer to as the fossil record.”
The page goes on to explain the five ways a living thing can become a fossil.
None of this has anything to do with oil, except the fact that oil is extracted from the ground.
I am starting to wonder whether the oil qua fossil fuel thing is a huge psy=op and mind-fuck. Coal is obviously closer to the concept. Still, it doesn’t seem to be formed by any of the five processes described by the Australian Museum.
If fossil fuels really came from fossils, wouldn’t we be looking to paleontologists to explain and find more oil?
It seems far more likely that oil is a mineral with traces of organic matter mixed into it.
There is also a paper to download by Prouty, Oil: A Renewable and Abiotic Fuel. .
Here is a graf from the Prouty paper:
“Since oil is lighter than water, everywhere on Earth, there is no way that petroleum could be an organic, fossil fuel that is created on or near the surface, and penetrate Earth ahead of water. Oil must originate far below and gradually work its way up into well-depth areas accessible to surface drilling. It comes from far below. Therefore, petroleum is not a “Fossil” fuel with a surface or near surface origin.”
Ya never know.
Fascinating stuff, thanks.
🙂
BTW, look up the history of the term fossil fuel itself.
As has been said so often, it is looking like most of what we have been told about many of the issues we are currently dealing with was simply a lie used to control and herd us in a specific direction for the benefit of the ruling class.
I always liked that scene from the end of the Wizard of Oz, with that little manlet furiously punching at buttons as the curtain was pulled back to reveal the truth.

He’s tetched in the haid, as they used to say out in the country or so I hear tell.
Burn me in hell, I forgot! This is one of “those” sites where anything goes and nothing matters.
Got a match?
Dear JHK Admin,
“Our government’s Ukraine op is ending in disaster for that sad-sack former Russian province and, surprise-surprise, for the European Union, NATO, and us, too. .. Russia rakes in the chips with its massive natural resources and the world’s most stable currency, soon to be backed by gold. ,,, The EU was already functionally bankrupt. Now it has lost its entire industrial base for a lack of fuel to run it … So sad.”
Your position, by corollary calls for Europe to accept Russia’s overlordship and with this subservience, an end to the European project. Why don’t you forthrightly state this as a logical end to your position? I think your claim is wrong for many reasons, not least of all because, as you made clear many years ago (in the “early oughts”) and which I still think is true–energy problems will appear in the periphery first–amongst nations that do not have the wealth and productive capacity to bid for resources. Europe will not lose out on these resources–Africa and other places too poor to pay for these resources will lose. Europe’s issues today are a result of it WAKING UP to the expansionist designs of Russia–something Eastern European nations have been sounding the alarm about for years. Europe is going through a short term supply crunch as it reshuffles its supply chains; it will be painful, but Europeans are increasingly aware that Russia’s attitude and actions present an EXISTENTIAL threat to Europe. Putin is no fan of a united and independent Europe; he prefers a Europe that is subservient to Russia.
Right now, Russia’s leverage on the Europeans is at its maximum. Within two years–the Europeans will have found alternative sources of energy, courtesy of the “sacrifice” of less developed and wealthy nations that Russia will be selling to instead if it can. If you think this is a slam dunk for Russia I think you are dead set wrong. Russia could win its war against Ukraine, but the inability of the Russians to fulfil YOUR PREDICTION of finishing the Ukrainians in weeks–does not make me think you are right on this issue either. If the US and Europe lose their nerve and appease Russia, that will be an instance of the lights going out in Europe… Thank goodness for the defiance of the Ukrainians; they put some steel in Western European spines.
Europe will be subservient by their own doing either way. The only question is who will be their master? The up and coming empire that still posses a modicum of common sense in Russia, or the rapidly imploding Death Star headed by the walking dead zombie “the Joe Biden.” Of course we all know which one they’ll choose, so so much for silly European empires. They’ll go down in flames along with their DC and City of London sponsors.
And for the most part Putin and Russia could care less. It couldn’t happen to more deserving bunch of idiots. Not sure what the Russian translation is, but as the old saying goes: “You just can’t fix stupid.”
Sorry Disaffected, you and I will have to agree to disagree on that one. On what basis do you think an aggressive and expansionist Russia–“the up and coming empire”–is going to be so up and coming? Energy giant? They do not corner the market on energy. And the Europeans will adjust–and they will do so a helluva lot faster than an autocratic Russia… the USSR failed for a lot of reasons… including a moribund and sclerotic leadership. E.g., Do you have any idea of a legal or systematic path of succession following Putin? Nope. That is chaos waiting to happen, unless Putin intends to live forever… you know, like Elvis… youtube.com/watch?v=XslNMymKM4g
How about the idea that a nation prospers as a result of economic activity, and in this regard, Russia has a pretty good set-up. They just need their neighbors to be civilized.
And how about the idea that on a relative basis, Putin may be conservative, whereas those waiting in the wings (as a result of the sanctions) have an axe to grind?
‘ chaos waiting to happen‘ denies a history of Russian political chaos since the breakup of the Soviet Union. Putin brought some stability. ‘hustled enough’ is doing a hustle. Standard American propaganda.
You are completely and totally misinformed. Russia is the largest country on the planet and has no need or interest in being “agressive and expansionist”. Russia is a conservative Christian country with a state supported church. They don’t need us as nearly as much as we need them. You’ll find this out eventually.
Selling oil to Europe is an EXISTENTIAL threat!!! It means they are bowing to Russian overlords instead of US overlords and that is just wrong.
It must not be allowed. Within 2 years Europe will run its industry off unicorn farts and US promises and they won’t need that mean ol’ Russia anymore.
Well Paula D, the last time the US invaded its land bordering neighbours, it was the 19th Century. So, the US hasn’t changed much since them I guess you believe. But Russia is pulling that shite right now, acting like the Nazis they claim the Ukrainians are supposed to be. So, yeah, I think Europeans will favour the USA, warts and all, with its liberation during WWII and Marshall Plan, rather than the Russians with their wonderful track record in keeping the peace in Eastern Europe when they were last resident there with the help of, um, tanks … just ask the Poles, Czechs, and Hungarians.
Absolute rubbish. You are talking about a situation happening 70 years ago. That generation is almost gone. The generations following with the baby boomers are delusional, ain’t worth shit, and won’t be able to compete with either Russia or China. Once the dollar is gone the West will be poor and completely irrelevant. Recovery, if it happens, will take decades. We’ve been completely de-industrialized, and recovery will not happen overnite. The rest of the world does NOT owe us a living, as we seem to believe.
Well Woodchuck,
You will have to ask the Ukrainians about the Great Famine in the 30’s that Stalin instigated. The thing about history that you might want to consider is that people have MEMORIES and the capacity to SHARE them with the generations that come after them. Those memories matter, Woodchuck.
And as for Russia and China–they have their own problems. Don’t be so keen to think that they will be inheritors of the world domination.
Cheers

Hustled…Jimbo makes predictions, not statements of what will be. Like anything you read, anywhere, take it w/ a grain of salt, and by all means, don’t get scammed this holiday season.
Hi tom clark, Good advice. Yes he does make predictions–which are, by definition, what he believes will happen in the future. And his predictions have invariably been wrong–at least for now. Some I think could be true in the future, but that is a pretty vast arena, time wise. I guess my issue is that I am uncomfortable with his confidence of what he expects to happen, and when it doesn’t happen, JHK Admin does not update his model of the world when he gets something wrong — as far as I can tell.
I will try not to get scammed this holiday season, but we are human and can get conned!
Look up the totally pagan origins of Christmas. The “holiday season” itself is a scam and has absolutely nothing to do with the birth of Jesus, who was NOT born in winter and especially not on the winter solstice. The early Christians did NOT celebrate Saturnalia.
You got scammed!
It’s nothing but a big money grab now. I’ve thought about marketing the idea of selling stuff online delivered direct to the landfill of your choice. We’d send a certificate to the gifter or giftee of course and maybe a picture of the item going onto the pile, but think how much time and trouble it would save for everyone involved; wrapping, unwrapping, pretending to be grateful for something they don’t want or need, and then hauling it out to the curb with the trash the next day. I think the idea could be a big winner! Investment opportunities welcomed!
Hah! This idea is a keeper. I’ve copied it and will use it sometime somewhere else!

1. A new #TwitterFiles investigation reveals that teams of Twitter employees build blacklists, prevent disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limit the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics—all in secret, without informing users.
Take, for example, Stanford’s Dr. Jay Bhattacharya (@DrJBhattacharya
) who argued that Covid lockdowns would harm children. Twitter secretly placed him on a “Trends Blacklist,” which preven

Dis…actually, I did track down the carport. It’s buried safely in one of Ronnie DUH Santis’ landfills and Paula D was there to witness. Wanna buy a condo in FL…cheap? You’re yo own best realtor they always say.
PS…the Cuban dude you cite is dead meat, just like Donnie Trump.
Nah, been to FL too many times. Bugs, heat, humidity, and creepy crawlies ain’t my bag, man!
Hey SSL! Got me a gopher overnight! I think he might have even been a Minnetonka Golden Gopher sent down to fuck with me by lil’ t! I’ll spare you the gruesome details, but let’s just say he won’t be coming around here no more! Too bad he already tore up half my yard.
I hear the Ukies are just overjoyed at the exchange of Brittney Griner for “The Merchant of Death”
Ms Griner greeted everyone on the plane, “looked them in the eye, shook their hands, asked about them, got their names” and “made a personal connection with them” throughout the 18-hour flight, during which she talked with Mr Carstens and the crew “about everything under the sun,” he said.
“I was left with the impression that this is an intelligent, passionate, compassionate, humble, interesting person,” he said. “A patriotic person, but, above all, authentic. I hate the fact that I had to meet her in this manner, but I actually felt blessed having had a chance to get to know her.”
