Let’s get something straight: the Woked-up Jacobin Party of Chaos is not really worried about “mis-and-disinformation” — it’s just afraid of information. Only a tyrannical regime would work so hard and complain so loudly about opposing ideas entering the public arena as to brand them inadmissible. Apparently, that formula also applies to election results, an elemental kind of information that’ll determine whether or not censorship continues to be the order-of-the-day.
The stalling of election results also allows for wholesale correction of results that don’t come in as desired. At a certain threshold, the Marc Elias Lawfare-sponsored ballot-harvesting machinery kicks in and, voila, ten thousand or so mail-in ballots appear courtesy of, say, the Culinary Workers Union in Nevada, and … problem solved! The correct candidates win! My guess is that this happened in other select districts all over the USA. Will it be detected and looked into? Probably not. That would be election denial, a newly-taboo toxic reservoir of “disinformation.”
Which is why the Arizona governor’s race, where the dynamic Kari Lake (R) ran against the inert and corrupt Katie Hobbs (D), is so interesting. Maricopa County, the second-largest election district in the USA, has dribbled out the results all week to make sure it looked like Ms. Lake was losing, while Democratic Party activists scrambled to generate more early mail-in ballots to make sure that Ms. Lake does lose, if at all possible. Either way, it may not go down so easily. If she wins, Ms. Lake will do everything possible to reform the sketchy Arizona election laws; if she loses, she is prepared to sue the living shit out of Maricopa County election officials and Katie Hobbs — whose position as AZ Secretary of State left her in charge of an election she ran in, and all the janky machinery behind it.
The post-election mood across America is labile and incendiary. So-called Red America, the opposition to Woke Jacobin tyranny, smolders in fury facing two more years of censorship, war-mongering, FBI-DOJ-IRS persecution, “vaccine” fuckery, economic breakdown, and the WEF-inspired killing-off of Western Civilization. Blue America, personified by the smugly sclerotic “Joe Biden,” ghoulishly salivates over the dying carcass of the country it intends to devour. Between the two factions there is no space for the normal operation of politics — the contest of ideas about running human affairs — especially with the public arena of speech and ideas in Woke lockdown.
Yet, other events look like they are out-pacing whatever the mood is on any side. So many crises are already underway threatening to upend everyday life that neither Red or Blue Americans will escape hardship and damage.
The on-the-ground economy has imploded. Inflation is for-real and is crushing the country’s standard-of-living. Before long, it may shift into deflation, which means instead of having a lot of money losing value, you’ll have no money at all. Rising interest rates killed off the real estate part of the Everything Bubble, and the building, selling, and remodeling of houses has been the locus of the few remaining good-paying jobs. The car industry is dying under several forms of stress: steeply rising unit prices, a strapped middle-class, growing scarcity of capital for lending, broken supply lines for vehicle inventory and parts, and the insane “green” crusade to make all motoring electric. Even fixing things of value — existing houses, cars, machinery in general — becomes increasingly impossible when nobody can get replacement parts to work with.
For over a hundred years we’ve been an economy running on fossil fuels, especially oil. In America, it made for an orgy of suburban expansion and “consumerism” (buying lots and lots of stuff). The business model for getting oil out of the ground, refining it, and distributing it, is broken and unlikely to get fixed. The global relations that balanced supply between the oil-rich nations and the oil-poor ones was smashed with our stupid sanctions against Russia and the unnecessary antagonism of Saudi Arabia by “Joe Biden” & Company. America has a lot of shale oil in the ground, but it’s at best marginally economical to get at. “Joe Biden” has promised to destroy all the fossil fuel industries, and if you take him at his word, that means the natgas sector too. Half of America thinks it’s going “green.” No, it’s going broke. It also happens that America has about a three-week reserve of diesel fuel. Trucks and all other heavy vehicles have to run on diesel. Without them, nothing moves from Point A to Point B, including food, and America goes hungry.
In the background, the Covid-19 mRNA “vaccination” program goes on remorselessly, some of it still mandated, while “vaccine” injuries and deaths keep going up and fertility rates fall, and all of it goes unreported by news media bought-off by Pharma and ideologically hostage to the Woke Jacobins working tirelessly to destroy Western Civ. Excess mortality in all age groups is rising in Europe, North America, and Australia. That piece of the big picture veers into an epic global health crisis. Among the “vaccine” injuries are millions of compromised immune systems. Wait and see how that works out.
How’s “Joe Biden’s” campaign going to pit Ukraine (and NATO) against Russia? Don’t be fooled by tactical Russian moves on-the-ground that are being labeled as “retreats.” Russia is aiming to put an end to this US-provoked nonsense before the plum trees blossom again over there. It will look as bad for “Joe Biden” as the dénouement in Afghanistan looked, but it will be good for the peace of the world for the struggle to end. The thing is: America might not even notice it’s happening, with everything else going on here as we careen around the year’s hard corner into winter.

This pathetic excuse for an election should have opened the eyes of anyone who can put two and two together and come up with four. It certainly did for me. At least a few of us with actual experience understand that the math clearly indicates that 2/3 of the American voters do not participate in Primary Elections, and my personal experience indicates that many do not even know or care that these elections take place. That is a fact and what it points out, is that the two “parties” choose the two candidates that the public gets to “choose” from. The candidates are chosen in the back rooms based on the ability of the candidate to be controlled and manipulated to bring in as much cash for the parties as possible. Ballot manipulation, voter redistricting, and social media mindfuckery guarantees total control of the process.
The American public has been programmed through the medias, distraction/entertainment, and addictions/mental anguish, to be compelled to reduce the act of voting to its tiniest element – Dumbo or Jackass, shut up and choose.
Of course, by the Jackasses screaming foul over the fraud of the 2016 election, and the Dumbos clamoring about the 2020 joke, the entire political body has effectively admitted that elections and their results are a joke. Complicating the process by degrading the act of voting by increasing paper mail-in ballots, early and holiday voting, and janky internet connected voting machines, the avenues for cheating have only increased exponentially.
Face it folks, it’s over, it is a scam and a joke and you are no longer represented or allowed to have a voice in your incarceration. Shut up and deal with it.
The bright spot is that with so many Americans and other “visitors” out there that are either totally uncaring or batshit crazy, clowns like the Brain Dead, Child Molester Career Criminal in the White House and all the other decrepit geriatrics including the latest Gang Banger Idiot Federwoman, I’d say that America is pretty well represented by kindred spirits in its leadership.
Of course, if the system IS totally rigged, maybe that would take the blame off of voters, but I’m not giving them that one, sorry.
Yeah, like I really believe Pennsylvanians voted for Hoody Boy. If so, Pennsylvania deserves the Sodom-Gomorrah Treatment from the Almighty.
Exactly right. America will now reap her just rewards for the twin evils of abortion and sodomy. We are on the verge of secession and civil war. Flee all blue battle states including “occupied” Pennsylvania. Ret US Army
Abortion and sodomy, that’s what did it.
Those aren’t distant down-stream symptoms of fundamental economic/structural causes at all..
Gus,
An odd argument. If you have sodomy, you probably don’t NEED abortion….
On another forum, part of my sig line is “Abortion and Sodomy are not the Cornerstones of Civilization!”
Good point, Gus. And of course they help your zero population growth in a big way.
But many serious people have damned them thru the ages – some even saying that sodomy is worse than murder. It all depends if you believe in cosmic law – and divine retribution.
You are rational – which I appreciate. But there are more things in heaven and earth than are in your philosophy, Horatio.
rough Shakespeare, Hamlet to be roughly precise.
I side with abortion and sodomy decriers on one level… but they have always and ever been SYMPTOMS of degeneracy, not causes, and we live in a moment in time demanding recognition of causes.
Even my opposition to abortion restriction in present day is a very conditional, relative, citcumstantial thing.
Ideally, I would have no surgical violation of pregnant women. Ideal birth control would consist of: occasional natural seasonal calorie and nutrient restriction, social mores against over fertility, daily occupations which do not leave individuals essentially “bored and horny” after every work day, natural practical and herbal measures, and as final resort in extreme necessity, infanticide.
The natural place for sodomy in my opinion is its being so rare generally that any possible non-abusive instances are barely an issue beyond basic inconsequential mockery or ostracization if need be. Rampant sodomy signals deeper societal rot every time, but fighting sodomy won’t effect the rot for a moment, in fact is probably evidenced by an ignorant man who can’t discern the rot itself in a fundamental way.
Yes, but even if not initial causes, they become causes in their own right. Causes of accelerating moral decline.
Overcrowding in Rats leads to harems kept by Alpha males (we’re going to see more of this soon – actual harems), homosexuality, gangs, and many bachelors going their own way.
Yeah, and if the rats wanted to turn their society around, the wouldn’t need a campaign promoting traditional sexual mores… They would need to depopulate and explore new systems governing growth in the future, right?
But we’re more than rats, Gustaph. And you obviously don’t believe in cosmic moral law – one above and beyond human mores and psychology.
If I sign up for a cosmic moral law, it will be one that penetrates to root causes and addresses the human growth and civilizational processes which result in deformed societies rife with “vices.”
I won’t kneel to a cosmic moral law that mystically contains a set of rules that describe and supposedly can result in (if rules followed) healthy living… without any penetration to the deeper rules governing the social development and organization itself which produce the approved or disapproved external behaviors.
Maybe our understanding of “cosmic moral law” is still in active development, Jarek…
You’re actually quite right about that. None of the great revelations cover the situation we are in – as in explicitly condemning over-population or the dangers of technology.
Jarek
Great revelations from the Middle Kingdom. Single child policy.
Oh, and we are closer to rats than you might imagine. There is a universal rat culture…homogeneous…. Perhaps someday humans will achieve the same.
You KNOW that the New World Order was an attempt at human cultural engineering…the rats remain unconcerned.
As they should.
I think there are many Christian or Christian-Light Americans that think God will intervene on behalf of America, or at least thought He would for the past two elections. The problem is America is by and large not God’s country, America kills God’s innocent babies, it promotes and celebrates sexual depravation, even most decent Christians only practice their faith on Sunday morning, they do not go and make disciples of all nations or teach them to obey all that Jesus taught – this is what He commanded us to do right before He ascended, His last words while He was on earth, they are important. If you want a good idea of what America deserves read all about what happened to the kingdoms of Judah and the Northern kingdom of Israel. As a country we deserve the same fate. For those of you that do not yet know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior please cry out to Him to show you who He is. Go online and lookup the verses Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Romans 5:8 and Romans 10:9-10. These verses summarize the entire gospel message – we are all sinners and deserve to be separated from God, but God loves us and sent His Son to die and take our punishment, but you must believe that Jesus is God and that He took your punishment because you could never pay it yourself and be ready to tell everybody who Jesus is! This nation will have some tough times ahead but those who put their faith in Jesus have an eternity of peace in God’s family to look forward to. I will keep voting, I am sure I will still get upset at the news and be angry at the demons running the show here – but in my heart I am at peace and I want all of you to have this same peace, the peace only God can provide.
Well said AP, truer words have never been spoken. No, America is not mentioned in the Bible, and although Johnathan Cahn has drawn many parallels to our nation and the people of God, we do not know what will transpire here before it is all played out. Clearly there is no revival and clearly far too many Americans have given in to the deceptions of greed and material wealth and consumption, and that, for me is the deal breaker as to whether or not America can turn around and embrace what is real and what is lies.
I was raised in a time where bad choices led to bad results and even though the mentality today is that there is an excuse for everything and no consequences ever come back to haunt your bad choices, the fact remains that if you screw up you will suffer, and America has been set up to suffer so very much for all of the bad choices that our nation has made.
I agree with you about the sorry state of Christianity in the US. Let’s face it, the church has decided that bowing its head and keeping its mouth shut is the best policy to pursue. That’s why there’s been no outcry against transgenderism or drag queen story hours in public libraries. The church abandons people to fight those battles alone. I also agree that the US deserves the same fate as Judah and the Northern Kingdom, and I believe everything we’re suffering now and are going to suffer in the future is God’s judgment on our nation for our national sins. This includes the drought and diseases, both human and animal, which have devastated our human populations and decimated our livestock supply, as well as the abysmal political tyranny under which we live. Unless the church humbles itself and repents and turns back to God, this nation will not survive.
Tuco,
Well, lets explore those circumstances when the church became pro active.
1) Auto da fe
2) See above.
The Koran speaks of a powerful city state given over to materialism and war. A great sandstorm that last a day, a night, and another day covered it and its people were never seen again.
Why would you expect churches to lift a finger to stop societal rot when so many of them allow themselves to be held hostage by wealthy individuals or coteries and/or their tax-exempt status means more than the Gospel. Additionally, with pulpits bound filled by young and/or female part-time pastors rather than older males, churches lurch ever leftward because the former group *cares* more than the latter, who are just judgmental assholes who just care about the patriarchy.
America’s future, as I’ve said before, is found in Revelation 17 and 18, which shows our sudden annihilation for creating and spreading evil throughout the world.
The system IS totally rigged. Accept that as fact. It is too obvious to deny. Even Democrats smirk when denying it.
The system is rigged.
Our host describes in his expressive style how it is done in today’s offering.
“Will it be detected and looked into? Probably not.”
That’ll be because, probably, there is nothing TO detect.
You might think to but people know a lying crook… of an election when they see one.
He already knows, Amman. There is nothing to detect.
Gee. A break-through.
More gaslighting by RL. Like all swamp dwellers, they LOVE lighting off the gas they dwell in. In fact the only gas that they dislike is the kind we pump into our automobiles.
Nothing to see here, people, move along.
No point in investigating if your owners tell you there is nothing to detect.
I’m glad it’s almost over and it looks like Republicans have the majority in the House and the courts have slowed Biden’s (handlers) grab to override the House and allocate money as it sees fit. The tuition giveaway served its purpose to get younger voters to the polls by offering free cash and lots more free cash if you got a Pell grant which used to actually help poor kids. IF, at the very least, the House can prevent the WH and the Senate from controlling spending, maybe it will slow the bleeding. It’s probably too much to ask for money be cut off to the Zelensky mob and the 87,000 new IRS agents not be funded, but we can always hope.
It’s still important to vote b/c there’s always local judges and state representatives on the ballot with bond issues for schools, etc. The national elections are jokes with Fetterman in his hoodie (a fashion statement that Trayvon Martin would approve) and post-stroke disabilities. He’ll be a reliable vote and won’t give anyone any trouble at all.
SW: You are right re voting
And the down-ballot folks eventually inch their way up the ballot.
Petulant nonvoters are like those who don’t diet or exercise if they can’t seen an immediate result. So they continue to binge.
That was the mentality that not only kept me voting SW, but that drew me back into the political arena in 2011. Having been nose deep in the beast since then with 6 years as a committeeman and two as mayor I can personally assure you that there is absolutely NO reason to vote because the corruption exists at ALL levels and our opinions/votes count for nothing.
Do and say what you will, I endorse your right to do so but I am done with it. Participating in a crooked system is like working at street level for Al Capone, you are part of the crime.
For me, it has come down to the “fight or flight” hormone thang.
Perhaps start a “No Confidence” campaign for the next selection. Get your ballot and write “No Confidence” on it and sign and date it. Don’t fill in ANY magic bullets. Then let the “media” deal with the millions of “under votes”. Of course a campaign like this would have to have a massive PR campaign and $$.
Or on the “fight” side we will have to run ourselves in all the primaries as “Independents”.
In California that would pit me against Auntie Maxine!
But if I were to get on the ballot for the general against her it could be lots of fun!
Tell me if I am right or wrong in my thinking.
Because, for me, I cannot continue to play their games. Rolling in the mud with corrupt criminals isn’t really my idea of living.
Of course the problem with all this is that they and their entrenched machines will still do all the counting.
Never mind.
Decent, honest citizens running for office is not only how the system was set up to work, but the lack thereof is why it is failing so miserably. Yes, running for office, even against all odds is IMHO the best way to at least attempt to fight the scumbags.
I’ve always argued in favor of voting, but I admit that I briefly thought this present outrage had pretty much finished me. And yet . . . I can make a good argument (I think) for continuing to vote.
When Trump was elected, my personal situation was that – after serious illness from which there was no coming back, so my husband was let go from his job – we were about to be hit with the (for us huge) penalty for not being able to buy health insurance anymore. Having to pay that sum of money would have wiped out what little we had left after a long struggle with medical bills, and probably resulted in our becoming at least temporarily, possibly permanently homeless and losing all our possessions.
Trump did away with the punishment tax and, when we made out our income taxes the instructions were to either pay the tax or write in something to the effect of “it would be a hardship to pay this.” We wrote in the requisite words and that was the end of it. By the following year, husband was on disability and the issue was at an end. We were able to find a place to live within our modest means, and we’re here for the duration.
I don’t know how many other people were saved by this one small thing he did, but for us – it changed our lives. Not everything is about big issues like Ukraine or CRT in schools. So I have to say, as disgusted and angered as I am at this moment, I know that even getting one person in office who does just one decent thing does make a difference. If this difference was made in your life, would you still think it wasn’t worthwhile to vote?
It’s good to know that there was some relief from being ruined by medical bills and the debt that has crushed people and then taxed b/c health insurance is unaffordable. It was a travesty from the beginning and justified by ridiculous arguments.
So many people have been caught in this trap and neither party wants to really take on the challenge of pulling the huge profits from pharmaceuticals, hospital corporations, insurance companies and the army of hanger-ons (home health is almost 100% a scam now).
That was a gigantic thing, rowdy, for many people.
We were faced with it also. Luckily my husband got a job that had health insurance because we had gone 9 years refusing to pay my employer’s chosen corporation, and were just about to come up to Obama’s deadline of corruption and extortion.
Yes, that, plus the tearing up of the TPP, plus the refusal to get into war with Russia….what more do people need to appreciate what Trump did?
SW
“It’s good to know that there was some relief from being ruined by medical bills and the debt that has crushed people and then taxed b/c health insurance is unaffordable. It was a travesty from the beginning and justified by ridiculous arguments.”
The answer is sooooo simple – Single-Payer Healthcare, à la most of the rest of the fecking planet.
Voting is another game of tic tac toe. Why waste time when AI masturbates all over us ?
“He’ll (Fetterman) be a reliable vote and won’t give anyone any trouble at all.”
Fetterman has an actually history of working for people – a shitty, small rust-belt town in west PA. He gives a shit. What would Oz have given? A “reliable vote” and no shits, at all. Meanwhile, Herschel Walker is the epitome of exactly what you’re accusing Fetterman of.
Fetterman has a history of screwing over Braddock Pennsylvania. Anybody can read what he did to that poor rust bucket town. Tucker Carlson did a 15 minute opening segment about his sorry piece of pure shit ass.
Only a person that is as brain dead as he is would vote for him. And that act he’s been putting on about his so-called stroke, has been with him for YEARS.
He had people on his show that knew him in college and every one of them said trying to communicate with him was like trying to communicate with a “stuttering 12 year old”, because of how low his IQ is.
Furthermore he showed up for one just one in person town meeting. The rest he was a no-show. He did zoom in for several.
I can go on and on about what he did to the town but anybody can read about it online. But what got him elected is the data and I just read the data on the mail in votes.
Over 863 thousand mail in voting got him elected. Voting was never supposed to be like this. It’s a flat out joke and it’s not secure whatsoever.
If you wanna have a secure election you go to the pole with your picture ID. Anybody that puts up any fuss whatsoever about having a secure election is a left-wing piece of garbage that wants to leave every door open for cheating.
We should be able to have the most secure election in the world. But now we’re on the level of some of the, 3rd world shit holes.
Absentee voting should be just for the military.
First and formost. 2nd, for people that are truly housebound / bed ? ridden. And those in old folks homes that truly cannot, would not make it to the polls.
This is exactly what needs to happen when it comes to voting in our country for local and state elections and especially the presidential election.
And get back to having small precincts. Voting at school gymnasium in churches. Not these mass size voting centers that make people stand in line for ages. It is so easy to clean all of this up and it’s very very easy to have a very secure election.
But the minute you propose something like this, the left-wing scum / dem party start pitching conniption fits because they don’t want a real secure election.
I’ve come to view our elections as exercises in futility. Twenty some odd years ago we thought we had a Defense of Marriage Act, and now that’s been replaced by the Respect for Marriage Act. Twenty years from now what will replace the Respect for Marriage Act? I guess my point is that our elected representatives change their politics and beliefs like their underwear.
The guy from halfway around the world is always trying to tell Americans about our country.
He can’t be bothered about facts or checking anything nor even looking up what the local town paper has to say about the guy.
Tell me sunshine was that an official DNC talking point you spewed above?
I could call you a liar but everyone already knows this so what would the point be?
Ah why not.
You are a liar.
You’re just wasting pixels, wee Ben. Save yourself the effort. but I’m guessing I serve some purpose for you – you can flail and wail about in your ignorant impotence and feel better for ‘calling the Liberal out’. Yes, your’re a legend in your own lunchbox.
ROTFLOL
Not only do you not deny that you are in fact a liar you all but admit it.
Deny YOUR bullshit? I have better things to do.
Redneck Liberal

Deny YOUR bullshit? I have better things to do.
You do that is why you have responded to almost every post I have made.
Poor lil guy you got dookie for brains.
Funny…I had the feeling YOU were following ME around – again.
Watching “Uncle Fester goes to Washington” will no doubt be a continuing source of mirth for a while…..until Shrek strokes out again and drops dead on the Senate floor from all the COVID shots that he, no doubt, obediently accepted from his Democrat masters.
Break out the popcorn, RL. You’ll need it for the shit show.
Yep – and you can have a Special Election! Yay! Perhaps the GOP can find a sane, wise man in Pennsylvania to step in…or not. The record on sane candidates recently is not good!
No Fetterman is not sane and nor was OZ.
Your perspective is very suspect since you say the American Democrat party is rightwing by your standards.
That says it all you crazy bastard.
One more thing, RL: Walker my be a bulb whose filament burns dimly…..but unlike Fetterman’s, his is at least still intact.
Pennsylvania has sent a broken bulb to the Senate.
Might, not my. Ugh. Silly iPad spellchecker…
If your ‘unbroken’ filament-guy gets to Senate, I’ll look forward to a debate between them. Did you hear your boy’s stump speech yesterday? He appears to believe that both vampires & werewolves are real, and “turnz out, waarwolves can keeel vampaaaars! Did you know that?” Astounding.
Yea trust fund baby that lived with his parents into his 40’s.
Real working class stock there.
I saw a great tweet:
Biden/Fedderman 2024
It’s a No Brainer!
hahahaha If only I could get a bumper sticker ):
I think that came from Tucker Carlson.
That slogan needs to go into mass production now! Lol
Let’s face it folks; with minor exception, the electorate are a bunch of dumb farm animals, and the most of the globe is “run” by a bunch of hustlers. Good combo…
That’s about it.
What did this election teach us? Well, for one, it taught us that the era of Donald Trump is over. Mitch Albom has been saying this for the past two years on his afternoon radio show for the last year but die-hard Trump fans would rather destroy the Republican party than give up on the fantasy of another four years of Trump. The second thing it taught us, and this a sentiment echoed by many Republican strategists over the years, when the Republicans focus on social issues like abortion and gay marriage, they lose. When they focus on bread-and-butter economic issues, Republicans win. That’s because Republicans are better at managing the economy than Democrats historically. The Democrat voters who defected to Reagan in 1980 didn’t do it because they were worried about the Democrats legalizing gay marriage and using taxpayer money to pay for it, they did it because they did the math and figured out they were better off being governed by people understood that Carter’s mismanagement of the economy was hurting them where it mattered most: their wallets The third thing this election taught us was that the best way to engage voters is to talk over the heads of the “gate keepers” in the mainstream media and treat each voter as an individual instead of talking through the self-appointed leaders who like to believe that they, and they alone, are qualified to speak on behalf of Blacks, Latinos or women. That’s how the Democrats and Liberals operate.
The 80s called. They’d like to speak with you about politics.
You clearly have no idea what has happened in the world over the last 2 decades. This has nothing to do with fiscal vs social issues, and all to do with the complete takeover of the culture by a totalitarian leftist ideology that controls the election process.
That’s rampant paranoia, Jack.
That is reality simply because cnn, pbs and msnbc don’t tell you the truth does not make it any less true.
hortonz
It’s refreshing to see someone reporting on what the not-insane cohort of the Republican party believes. These are the same people who scoff at “the Big Steal” lie.
Then you said:
“That’s because Republicans are better at managing the economy than Democrats historically.”
Huh?
HUH???
I get your point that cultural issues are NOT as effective at getting the vote out for the GOP but Republicans are demonstrably NOT ‘better at managing the economy’. In fact, Reagan was the birth canal for the Neos – both Liberal and Conservative – with their Friedman-based economic views, which have screwed everyone but the already wealthy or privileged (and not only in the USA but everywhere).
Read this:
thebalancemoney.com/deficit-by-president-what-budget-deficits-hide-3306151
Contract with America and Lil Billy not fighting it. If we look at booms and busts who controlled Congress matters. Then there is 2008 and Obama absolute failures followed by Trumps booming economy and the Covid and Biden and the Democrat congress has all but destroyed everything.
Fuck!!! Obama was inaugurated in 2009, dipshit, and what did he inherit after 8 years of Shrub and the Republicans raping & pillaging? The near-as-almost collapse of the global financial system.
Trump’s ‘booming economy’ was well on the way when Lardarse accidentally became president. Of course, he claimed all the credit because that’s how he rolls.
Yes, COVID has been a significant swipe at the economy – globally, wee ben, not just the USA – and Lardarse did his best to make it as hard as possible for you poor suckers. Why? Because he was worried that his reelection might be jeopardised.
He was on his way out in any case…
And who had control of Congress and the Senate?
One hint starts with a D and ends in emocrat.
Remember the fourth rail was busy ripping old GWBush apart for six years and the house flipped to Democrat control and stayed that way until 2011 and it was not just a majority but a super majority.
I might also add it was the slowest recovery in US history Obama and the Democrats bungled everything.
Odd how the media is always throwing softballs to the DEMOcrats and rips the Republicans a new asshole for anything they can pin to them true or not.
Even more odd is how the Democrats also think any election they lose is rigged like Al Gore and the hanging chads where they looked at the ballots with a magnifying glass to determine if the voter meant to vote Democrat.
I just remember how Al Gore lost his shit for months over getting beat and that was with paper ballots.
I lived it I remember how bad it was all you did was maybe read about it.
Actually, your observation that our presidents are “chosen” for us is correct. I discovered this a long time ago, right around 2000 during the Bush election. There was so much I was hearing about him not being legitimately elected, and all the garbage about the hanging chads, etc., that I decided to hunt for some information myself, and I came across a site called Exegesis (not in existence anymore) that had an article discussing Bush’s presidency, that referenced an article written in 1997 predicting that George Bush would be the next president and why. I read that article, and sure enough, they had predicted in 1997 that George Bush would be the next president. I wish I’d had the presence of mind back then and been more computer savvy to save the article. Needless to say, after that, I didn’t vote for him the second time. And I haven’t believed in the American political system since. Did I vote in the last two elections? Yes, because there was still a tiny part of me that thought it was possible to “win” legitimately. But now I’ve been disabused of that belief, not only because our political system is broken beyond repair (FUBAR) but we no longer have a populace that values freedom. Instead, they want to be taken care of like pets. I realized that way back when the first black president, Bill Clinton, sent Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba and better than 60% of the lemmings thought that was just jim-dandy.
I am totally bummed out, even if there was massive cheating, as I suspect. Because this election should not have even been close. $5 gas is killing people, and the poorer among us the most.
I have been trying to find a story, from years ago. I read it. A NY state senator said something about the crooked election system in Pennsylvania, and how votes could be ginned up by the Dem Machine. He was also a Democrat, and he quickly retracted his statement.
If anybody else remembers it, please let me know. Thanks!
What part of “the system is rigged” are you still having trouble grokking?
Yeah but even if rigged, which I think it is, how many people still voted for Democrats? Assume 1 million stolen/false vote, that still leaves a poop-ton of real votes for them.
It seems to me that there are a lot of elements at play, and we’ll never be able to break them down into percentages.
Obviously there’s been cheating in all the same ways that we saw last time, especially in the critical places. Along with that, some of the candidates were lackluster and didn’t present a noticeably better option. As bad as Fetterman is, Oz was also a proponent of the child mutilation trans agenda. How is that offering a choice that would motivate anyone to stand in line for a few hours?
Along with that, the combination of woke dimwits, ideologically possessed Zoomers, recent “immigrants”, and the simply clueless is numerically greater than we thought. When you consider the other elements in play, it was sufficient to kill all but the most vigorous candidates and even some of those. I suspect Kari Lake won by a huge margin, maybe too huge for any amount of cheating to undo (it was still undecided the last I heard). But others who didn’t win so decidedly were easier to fudge.
I think it’s better if the elections were stolen. If these election results are valid, then it means most people really did freely vote for Democrats to retain power even after the results of two years of their dominance.
The MSM just obligingly declared Hobbs the victor over Lake this morning.
I seriously doubt the truth of that declaration. Like Biden, Hobbs has been installed.
Oh there are no shortage of idiots voting for Democrat boobs, that’s for sure. Mostly the young.
Yeah, I know, that’s pretty sad, isn’t it? That so many people can be duped into believing lies about everything.
A lot of it was the fear factor. You’ll lose your rights, they said, if the republicans gain the senate! You’ll lose your social security and medicare! They’ll overturn gay marriage! They’ll outlaw interracial marriage (I still don’t know where this one came from), etc. And don’t forget the right to kill your kid. That was a big one in a lot of states. You’ve lost the right to kill your kid in the comfort of your own state. Now you have to make an inconvenient journey to another place to do it. And climate change. They’ve got a large swath of the hoi polloi convinced that every early snowfall or cold snap or Indian summer is the result of climate change. And underlying all of THAT I personally believe was the fear of antifa/BLM being unleased if the democrats didn’t “win.” After all, their elected representatives had demonstrated that they weren’t going to lift a finger to prevent the destruction and death that would follow. All of which I lay at the door of the church, because if the church had been doing its job, the people wouldn’t be afraid.
So, you really think that a GOP House & Senate would get gas prices back to what ever you want? Hahahaaaaa…
Not at first it would take time to get things sorted out and turned back on.
They still have to deal with mashed potato brain Mister I am going to kill oil, coal, and natural gas.
My fondest wish is that Democrats all really do turn blue this winter some parts it’s going to take more than two sweaters and they deserve every miserable shivering moment.
Magical thinking! Keep it up, Wee Ben. Who knows what you create.
It’s not magic it’s a simple matter of allowing searches for oil and then drilling. Joe Biden has caused artificial scarcity there is still plenty of oil, coal and natural gas left to tap. Don’t be ubsurd as well as imbecilic.
I guess Liberal Deadneck doesn’t understand the basic principle of supply and demand or Biden’s and the Green’s idea of ending fossil fuels.
You stop drilling and you find less supply. Demand is still there no matter how many inefficient whirligigs and photo cells you dot the landscape with.
Reality is going to set in at some point. Do you want to get a indication of how much power is coming from these green projects, where are the high tension wires connecting them to the grid? Just a pair of jumper cables.
Worse the have a very short lifespan and create toxic waste issues in their creation, maintaining and disposal. Green energy is a joke that will never be realized.
No, I kinda don’t believe that, either.
I’ll flat say it aloud…Americans deserve what’s happening to them. A hundred and fifty years of going to war so Zio-bankers can build an empire of ghost-money and play god with us all. A dominant religion with fundamentalist loonies calculating the numerology of Bible prophecy to figure out how may blood moons have occurred since the urinals were installed in the men’s room in the Temple in 70AD and announcing that Jesus is coming next Tuesday to Rapture the White dummies up to Heaven……yeah, we really got a future,
History teaches us that every war mongering empire eventually rots from the head and crumbles from withing and dies. Looking at the Rotting Head in DC, I’d say we won’t have to wait much longer to be face down in the dirt.
Yes, the geriatric national leadership typified by Biden and Pelosi looks like the Soviet Kremlin just before it fell.
We do NOT deserve this.
How have we Americans had any control over our government? We just pay our taxes and vote. I have never had an opportunity to vote against any warlike activities of the government.
We do not control them so we are not responsible for their actions.
I agree. Look at Obama if you think voting for a candidate who “says all the right things”, gets your vote then presto-change-o does the exact opposite of what he said he’d do — like allowing much cheaper drugs from Canada in the new health care bill — makes any difference.
He campaigned on Change. Very few ever asked him the question which is implied by that: Change to what?
And yes, many Whites are so far gone that they would have voted for him anyway, despite his malicious hatred of Whites.
I don’t think Obama hates whites but I’m convinced his wife does.
@sw
Have you bothered to read his books or at least the one ghost written by Dhorn?
He spells it out pretty clearly, he clings to the arab/black side of his family and ignores the white side as if they don’t really exist and never mattered.
journals.openedition.org/ejas/9232
It places the narrative within the history of African American literature and rhetoric and argues that Obama uses the text to create a life story that resonates with central concepts of African American selfhood and black male identity, including double consciousness, invisibility, and black nationalism. The article reads Dreams from My Father as an attempt to arrive at a state of “functional Blackness,” which moves away from questions of racial authenticity and identity politics but recognizes the narrative powers of African American literature to shape a convincing and appealing black self.
Nothing in there about his disgusting European heritage!
He offered a couple of revealing anecdotes: No one was better to him than his grandmother who took care of his while his mother took off to Indonesia to study native blacksmithing or something. He recalls his intense and immediate animus towards her when she revealed she was being harassed by a Black homeless man while waiting for the bus. He cared nothing for her fear or safety, only feeling hatred against Her for her supposed racism.
Years later, he said hello to his mother after being out one night. She was watching an awards show and exclaimed Harry Belafonte was the most beautiful man in the world. He described his sudden feelings of utter contempt and disgust for her. He doesn’t even try to explain them. But it’s as if to say, How dare a mere White find a Black man attractive. Yet if she hadn’t, he wouldn’t exist!
Smothering his white grandmother with a pillow the night before his victory might’ve been a clue
I believe most of the lemmings that voted for obummer came up through the multiculturalism/diversity crap that began to be taught in our school system in the 80s, courtesy of Ronald Reagan, that great cold war warrior, who made a deal with Gorbachev that we would adopt their educational system in exchange for them packing up their Soviet marbles and going home. I discovered this while watching a Chuck Missler video. Talk about betrayal and disillusionment, huh? Yet, that’s what happened. Right around the time our junior highs began to be renamed middle schools, in the mid-80s, was where I noticed it at first. Didn’t know about the rest until later. Not long after that, the Soviet Union just “fell” seemingly overnight without a shot fired. Whoda thunk it?! Not too many years after that we began to see white boys emulating black gangsta rappers and the slow steady erosion of “white culture” as it were in favor of “black culture” that we have shoved down our throats nonstop today.
Well, we DO deserve it if you consider America a government OF the people, which means we ALL have to play an active part and get involved, NOT just vote. Since 2011 I have attended and presided over meetings of our governing body where the 5 elected officials outnumbered the residents in attendance. Social media appears to be the only venue that the bulk of our residents utilize to maintain ANY interest in their government, and of course in that clown show the first lie wins and hate is the weapon of choice.
If your point is that we are all too busy trying to make a buck to pay our bills, you have a point, but not an excuse because none of us can ever make enough income to cover the cost theft and corruption at every stinking level of government.
The people scrambling the hardest also tend to be the people caught up in part-time low wage employment.
I remember watching Diane Sawyer’s documentary about a failing school in Philadelphia. There was an earnest young white man teaching math or something, and he only had one parent come in to meet him on back to school night.
That sounds like the parents don’t care, but later I was thinking about it, and I was thinking the dad who dis show probably had a union or government job where he could get an evening “off” to attend civic functions and the like.
If you work at Target and are trying to fill in your other hours as bet you can, good luck expecting them to give you a day “off”, even if you never work a 40 hour week.
Jobs that don’t guarantee a set number of hours per week often require 30 or 40 hours of “availability” and seven days per week.
You get a night off to go to the school, if you are lucky someone in your neighborhood can give you a lift, because the crosstown buses tend to quit running after six p.m.
I’m not saying this is THE reason people don’t get involved, but it’s a bigger factor than most people realize.
I can only speak for our school system, but our schools have always been run by the sports parents/PTA moms who bully the heck out of anyone that doesn’t kiss their massive asses. In my township they are a 300-400 Water Buffalo click led by the 500-pound corrupt mayor’s wife. These megalodons are also the crowd that man the polls on election day.
Hard to blame the general population for not standing up to these bullying behemoths and I for one have learned the lesson that resistance is futile. None of the respectable decent people will go against them out of fear, and many have come out and stated this outright. Oh well, what they hell.
Lord Buddha: Woe to any people who allow women to take power. You will know great cruelty.
@Walter — I think both of you make valid points and both things do happen. There are a lot of single parents now and going to the meet the teacher night is just one more thing to do on a long to- do list.
But I’ve been in the situation where a clique of moms ran the school too. My youngest daughter went to a private high school and all mothers had to sign up to volunteer. After several days in the school snack bar, it was pretty obvious who was in charge and the principle and teachers did a lot of ass kissing to these powerful moms.
My take on this, both as a teacher and a parent, is that I’ve never seen much point in back-to-school nights or parent-teacher conferences, either one. There is nothing to be learned, and, as Beryl of Oyl notes, your schedule may not allow it. Even if you are free at the times these are held, working parents have little time and may not want to waste it in this way.
The only possible value of these occasions is entirely on the side of the teachers, who–if they know which parents are wealthy, influential, and will donate to the school–can use it to do some schoozing.
@ SW:
Many schools are controlled to a great extent by parents who are wealthy and politially influential. In one school district where my kids went to school, I was told that if the school wanted some expensive improvements or equipment, the administrators (or some teachers) need only drop a hint to the Right People and the desired high-dollar items would be paid for.
The Right People also have a say in who gets a job and who doesn’t, and who keeps their job and who doesn’t. To tell you the truth, I suspect that they have just about 100% of the decision-making on that. Political power goes a long ways.
Also, I have never been clear as to how as to how federal, state, and local funds are disbursed in a school district. The annual budget of the school system my kids graduated from was $20 million. Of this, $10 million was from local taxes.
Obviously, somebody holds the purse strings on that money. That somebody (or somebodies) probably has a say as to what projects are funded, what contractors are hired to do the work, and what company equipment, materials, and supplies will be purchased from. Whoever these people are, they are obviously immensely powerful.
Now more and more places are resorting to 12-hour shifts.
Yes, I know what you’re talking about as far as the buses go. When I was a bus rider, I faced the same situation, the buses don’t run 24/7. Lack of transportation and the vagaries of the job have a lot to do with it, but I also think a lot of them just don’t give a shit, mainly because they don’t believe getting an education is worth anything. They view putting in all those long hours studying and going to school as a waste of time. They don’t believe an education will get them anywhere in life largely because they’re black and the cards are stacked against them. So why bother?
You deserve it, Rodulf, vomiting your bile in your Savior’s face, blaming your self-induced toxicity on others. You will learn the hard way.
You know Rodulf, even if Christianity (or any Religion) is just the Magic Feather that Dumbo used to fly, the fact is that Dumbo, the Elephant, actually flew!
Western Society has dropped the Magic Feather, and replaced it with Wokeism – a form of Goody-Two Shoes Christianity with no Jesus, and all the intolerance of the Old Spanish Inquisition.
I did not used to believe it, but the old, “If you don’t believe in something, you’ll fall for anything” truism is actually TRUE!
We changed Christianity into a religion that suited a Germanic warrior race. Theresa of Avila – who turned into one of the most beautiful women of her time – dressed up as a boy and tried to go the Crusades as an adolescent. And it was St Bernard himself, I believe, who helped institute the Knights Templar.
But as science and liberalism arose as new religions (so to speak), Christianity felt it had to return to its other worldly roots, and unfortunately, that helped to bring forth a great softening at the popular level – in a way that wasn’t there at the beginning. The Romans admired the courage of the Christians dying in the arena after all. That helped spread the Faith.
Yep. I kept telling people PC was a pseudo-religion.
“the fact is that Dumbo, the Elephant, actually flew!
Dumbo was Disney’s first documentary, huh?
Who’s gonna break it to Penelope that Dumbo is a fictional cartoon?
Well put. I concur.
Well, back before1860, we held together as a country on a voluntary basis. We were a country because we wanted to be one, and we were all on the same page about that. After we defeated ourselves with our Civil War, we became an empire. We became a collection of states held together by miliary force, and NOT by the will of all the citizens as expressed through the votes of their elected state representatives.
Since our becoming an empire in 1865, we’ve naturally decided to continue using military force to maintain and expand the empire into territories outside US borders. As history shows over and over, empires eventually collapse, and it’s a delusion to think that the USA is immune to disintegration. Our excuse for empire building is that we are “making the world safe for democracy”. This was the excuse for our meddling in affairs in Europe during WWI – affairs that we had no understanding of and that was none of our business. And ever since 1916 our role in the world has been to fight all over the planet to “defend democracy”. That’s the excuse given for our current meddling in Ukraine.
Yeah, as long as US citizens everywhere believe rubblish like this we most certainly do not have a future as a USA. We’ll crack up completely into various sovereign states after the dollar dies.
“We’ll crack up completely into various sovereign states after the dollar dies”. I certainly hope so. But, the death of the dollar and what happens afterwards is still a cipher.
“‘We’ll crack up completely into various sovereign states after the dollar dies’. I certainly hope so.”
It sounds ideal, doesn’t it, the US fracturing into natural states? I expect it to happen. I think it is part of the plan. The last act before the US is consumed by China. A handful of tasty little morsels for the new hegemon.
“I think it is part of the plan.
The plan? Whose plan? And, if it’s ‘the plan’ shouldn’t it written “The Plan”?
“shouldn’t it written “The Plan”?”
Tsk, tsk, Rednut. This, after always pestering other people about their writing mistakes.
@ Redneck Liberal:
You don’t think there’s a plan? All the wealth of all the nations of the world at stake, and you think the people who control it just sit around in their boardrooms smoking bud and talking about celebrity gossip and sports? “Que sera, sera!” right?
Even Roosevelt once said that there is NOTHING in the world of politics that is not planned; nothing happens by accident.
Anthea
Quite probably! But can you succinctly explain “The Plan”? Please, proceed.
This is true. Most of the lemmings don’t even know what “democracy” is, but by God, they’ll vote for its exportation every time!
A Dominant religion? You cannot be talking about American Christians. That’s for sure. They number next to nothing stacked up against the numbers of the absolutely insane diabolical evil, “Islamic Law”
believing Muslims.
If you don’t believe me about the numbers, then simply go do some research on this. No I won’t give you the data. You work for it. Overall your entire comment makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Although, I know that you tried to take a shot at “American Christians”,
You failed drastically. Furthermore the American black Christian population, believe in the rapture. Especially the Black SBBC = Southern Black Baptist Council.
And then outside of them you have the Black, Evangelical Churches throughout the southeast part of our nation. They also firmly believe in the rapture. So it’s not just the white members that you so sarcastically try to portray in a rather non-flattering-light.
The Rapture doctrine is very problematic. It first appeared via the preaching of John Nelson Darby in the early 1800’s. He was of a legalistic/literal mind and cooked up yet another new version of Protestant theology, Only this time with a bunch of Pentecostal spirit manifesting stuff thrown in along with speaking in tongues etc. Google images for Rev. Darby gives me the creeps – he’s got a visibly demonic look on his face, at least to me. Darby wrote his own version of the Bible, naturally called the Darby version. A look into his family background is horrifying. The Darbys once owned Leap Castle, now considered the most haunted castle in Ireland. The place has a truly horrific past history of mass murders having happened there, a dungeon where people were impaled on spikes and left to rot in that hidden chamber etc. Mass poisonings, a priest killed in a room called “The Bloody Chapel etc. Mildred Darby, a popular author who used to write gothic horror novels, once lived at Leap Castle. She claimed it was haunted by an elemental spirit that had a goat’s body, a human head with black eyes, and smelled like a rotting corpse.
Okkkkaaaayyy. Interesting family you have there Mr. Darby. Perhaps it’s a family tradition to be messing with spirt manifestations? Darby founded a church called “The Plymouth Brethren”, and the parents of the notorious black magician Aleister Crowley were members of this strict Protestant Pentecostal Darby sect. Crowley hated the religion of his boyhood and devoted his life to satan worship or what have you, calling himself proudly the wickedest man on the planet. He wrote books about how to do rituals to attract disembodied spirits.
There’s a Bible verse out there about the impossibilty of good fruit coming from bad trees. I’m skeptical about the Darbys and their evit spirit stuff, and so I’m also skeptical about Darby’s theology and the supposed rapture or rupture of the Church.
Careful there, Rodulf the Red-Nosed,
You will be insulting the Bronze Age fanatics whose written ravings Vlad worships, intolerant zealots who had no idea the earth circles the sun or that micro-organisms and not demons are the cause of illness.
The Pretend is strong all-around on this Comments Section.
Less suburbanism and consumerism sounds like a win to me; that is, if the population will accept it and make the necessary adjustments, such as localism.
They probably won’t as they have been too domesticated over the decades by their lord masters, aka the Federal Government.
IMO, the way things are developing ‘accept’ might be the subject of a more expansive definition.
tell that to the 8 million people(plus another 20 million who service it) who are directly tied to the trucking industry including farming,food processors,all industry in fact–local?!! the only thing local will be the lamp posts people use when their national industry goes kaput–have no idea what fantasy island you live on shotho
happiface, I don’t see any reason why what once worked – when we relied much more on local production of food and whatever else you could make – could not work again. If the trucking industry dies either by plan or otherwise, those involved will still have to find other ways to make a living – but most of them have practical skills that would be useful for something other than trucking.
If you read the history of my small rural town (and many others like it) there were once farms that produced milk, beef, wheat and vegetables locally. They were processed here as well, and we had various little factories, a doctor, a lawyer, a school, a sheriff, a mill, a foundry, and a dam that produced power. You could live out your life (and most people did) without needing to leave this place. Everything you really had to have was right here. I don’t count kiwi fruit during a New England winter as something you have to have. We now have to drive, sometimes quite a distance, for these services and items we used to buy across the street. I don’t see that as a win.
Your entire comment is excellent. And it’s loaded with common sense. And what once did work would work again for sure. You nailed it my friend. You nailed it.
@ Rowdypiglet:
Yup. I keep telling people to look at the old Sanborn fire insurance maps for their town for 1900-1910. (They may go back a little further.)
The town that was nearest me (pop. about 5,000) before I moved had as many businesses in 1900 as it does now, with about one-third of the population. Right now it doesn’t even have a grocery store, as the town grocery store recently closed for the third time in the past ten years or so.
By 1910 there was a cannery, and opera house, a hotel, restaurants, and a college. The town offered literally everything in the way of the consumer goods of the era. No doctor’s office is shown on the fire insurance maps, because the doctor came to you. There was a dairy farm at the edge of town that delivered milk to your door.
You don’t have this amount of business activity without considerable affluence–and it was almost entirely based on an agricultural economy.
It’s easy for me to imagine this type of economy being restored to these rural Missouri towns. All it would take would be getting the government boot off of our necks. And such an economy would probably be much better and more varied than it was in 1900-1910, mainly because of an improved knowledge base and an improved selection of farm animals and cultivated vegetables–and flowers. E.g., there are currently a couple of artisan cheesemakers. They didn’t have anything like that back then, and the seed catalogs probably did not have hundreds of tomato varieties. They had not yet developed many of the vegetable varieties that are familiar today. And they sure didn’t have lisianthus–a gorgeous cut flower only recently introduced to cultivation. Google it, if you want to be blown away. Johnny’s Selected Seeds carries the Voyage strain, which I am in love with.
But I digress. My point is that everything in the world of agriculture is like that. There have been great advances.
Anthea, you’ve provoked one of those interesting synchronicities that, in my family, we attribute to an ethereal being we call the Library Fairy. I was pondering the Sanborn Fire maps for the last week, and a couple of them were up on my screen in other tabs as I read your comment. I use them often in my hobby of genealogy and local history. They’re a revelation, and a true window into the past.
As to restoring those localized economies, I firmly believe it’s possible. In fact, in my little corner of the world, there are people trying to do so. We have interesting heirloom grains grown locally and ground in a local mill, cows and some dairy on a small scale, and cheese making. We have a bit of locally produced hydro power. Lots of woodland that’s carefully logged, and plenty of potential farmland. If the rest of the world falls apart, which I consider likely, this would be one of the better places in which to survive.
No doctor’s office is shown on the fire insurance maps, because the doctor came to you.
Not only that, the doc didn’t do 35 unnecessary tests and charge you $174,000 for the 3-hr visit. It certainly was not “free”, of course doctors made a fairly comfortable living, but they didn’t jack you for every cent you’ll ever make to treat a fever.
Like small-town pastors doing a funeral (still today, in places like rural ND), many once were occasionally content to be paid in sausage or cornmeal if that’s all the family had to offer.
@ Rowdypiglet:
“We now have to drive, sometimes quite a distance, for these services and items we used to buy across the street.”
Wendell Berry said that the automobile had created more distances than it had bridged.
Madame Rowdy,
You remind me of a time in 1985 when I purchased a large, reddish, aromatic mango for one dollar in Manhattan. I marveled at the economies that must have gone into that – not to mention the oppression of farm workers all the way from Central America.
I liked my mango, but still felt uneasy about it. A conscience is a heavy load to bear.
Indeed, SpeedyBB. Conscience is a heavy load, and awareness is as well. If your conscience hadn’t bothered you, you would probably have still contemplated whether your having a mango in Manhattan was worth the expenditure of energy and resources, human and otherwise, in making it happen.
If I had no other way of knowing that the whole climate crisis is a scam (whether or not it’s changing) is that things like this are the low hanging fruit. If we were really in an emergency, we’d first look at making sure that genuine necessities like heating our homes took precedence over having kiwi fruit in Manhattan.
I remember being in a grocery store in California in the 80s and some woman was throwing an absolute fit because they didn’t have bell peppers.
The clerk (they still had them back then, probably a truck driver now) explained to her “They are not in season”.
She screamed “What does that mean?”
I was blown away. Back then there was still such a thing as seasonal fruits and vegetables.
How could she not know that? (I now realize she must have time traveled from the future).
Trucks and truck drivers are STILL needed in a local economy. There difference is more, but shorter, hauls and they get to be home every night. Routes would be regional more often than not. And there would still be a market for far away goods. We don’t make cameras here anymore. They can’t grow the quantity and quality of crops over “there” like we can. So there will still be a need for national and international freight.
PeterP, when I read that the very last television set ever assembled locally was a Zenith, the factory in the Midwest closing in 1984 when all production was moved to Mexico, it struck a nerve.
I had paid close attention to the marvel of color television, pioneered by David Sarnoff and RCA in the 1950s, even though the NTSC signal did indeed often mean “Never Twice the Same Color”.
Studio cameras, switchers, transmitters – the whole shebang, pretty much gone overseas. They’re probably still doling out dollars to pay American patents, so somebody is at least getting their cut.
Oh! Reagan’s first year!
does that sound likely?
Each individual will be kicking and screaming whether they are mentally prepared or not. Because even if you are ready, you aren’t ready for the huge mass of people kicking and screaming that will drag you down with them.
in the words of the song, ‘coming up only, to drag you under’
Maybe there’s quite a few people ‘really’ prepared and well out of harms way.
but the rest of us are in it with masses really, whether we want to be or not
Move out of the big city before it’s too late. It’s YOUR choice. I did it over 3 years ago. It’s been a big change and, no, I’m not self-sufficient growing my own food or livestock. Eventually I hope that’ll happen. I go into a metroplex when needed. I commute a long distance to work in a major city. But I no longer live in a rat race, sh*thole and it’s worth the drive and the minor inconveniences. Not saying it’s been easy, but I would do it again and there’s no way I’d move back to a Liberal dump…which almost ALL big cities have become. Period.
If most Conservatives would take this to heart we could redesign America in a generation if not sooner. Just think of all the new Congressional districts/seat created when new Conservative populations sprung up around a State. Not sure how it would affect Senate races.
Abandon the big cities and let them destroy themselves with the crime and infighting among the rats who stay and enjoy that lifestyle. That, along with their addiction to abortion, vaccines, and other risky behaviors and it won’t take long before the metropolitan areas lose their political clout and their physical populations. Maybe at some point those cities could be re-gentrified. But while that takes place people who love America will be rebuilding it in new communities outside the former big cities.
I remember back in 2004 when a certain CEO of an electronic voting machine company (Diebold) pledged to “deliver” the swing state of Ohio to George Bush against John Kerry. Many (at least on the left) were rightfully skeptical of that conflict of interest. Nowadays they’d be called “election deniers.” Memories sure run short these days.
Speaking of Georgie Bush, I just re-watched the movie “Vice” last night and I recommend that everyone check it out. It pulls back the curtain to reveal the inherent rot in the system and the depraved assholes that have risen to the seats of power in our once great nation.
Make America Great Again? Bullshit, we cannot even make it honest, no wonder MAGA is a hated phrase by so many, it is another lie. Make America Go Away perhaps, but that’s happening right now on its own.
I just looked up that film to refresh my memory of what it was about, and I came across this interesting find, under “interesting finds”:

MUSGO – make united states go away.
America will survive the united states. aka flyover country, where food is grown – if we can keep our refineries open.
I have read quite a few of your comments. And just shake my head at each one. Hard to imagine that there’s somebody that is that ate up with anger and hatred.
I don’t know how you think you come off looking to others but I know how you come off looking to me. You come off looking like some really old man that lives alone because nobody can stand to be around him.
Besides being about as pleasant as a root canal, he is your all around straight-up SOB. And you come off looking like an ex communist transplant that for some reason hates my Nation.
You really are what my mother meant by, “ A shriveled up old man no good for himself or the world. And always has a snide disgusting remark for any and all.
@MONTANA MAN
Is that comment directed at Walter B?
He has never come off angry or communist.
Deep disappointment I do see which can seem angry.
Maybe a nice .22 model#H001 would cheer him up.
I know it would me!
I remember a state run by a candidate’s brother, that messed up the election so bad some people accidentally voted for a candidate they didn’t want, and when the losing side grew angry, the winning side was full of scorn for them.
John K:
Thanks for bringing that up.
I think I have mentioned it here before, but here goes again:
Despite Kerry’s obnoxious attributes (better known now than then), I went up to the boondocks of Maine to get out the vote for Kerry.
When we went to bed at 1:00 a.m. on Election Night Kerry was ahead.
By 6 a.m. Bush had “won.”
Of course the whole Diebold/electronic voting play had been set up the the 2000 fiasco and the passage of the Election Integrity bill.
As in AZ today, the secstate of Ohio had some kind of interest in Diebold.
Is there an emoticon for “holding nose”?
You seem to realize the elections are rigged, by putting forth this very valid example; yet you insult people who don’t fall for it and opt out of playing the game.
Very bizarre.
Not at all bizarre.
The fewer the votes, the easier the rig.
And not all elections are equally rigged.
You just like feeling smarter than the house.
Nice projection.
Pegged!
I remember that, too. Please see my earlier comment regarding “fixed” elections.
The Covid vaccine death cult is just getting warmed up. Seems like as winter rolls in millions of immunocompromised blue voters are going to mysteriously die on us. Regardless of what else it is, it’s the deflationary elephant in the room. Get ready. Can’t be stopped now.
Death never stopped a Democrat from voting.
Well said.
hahahaha!
So quick on the uptake, Freddie!
Or winning office!
You’ve been to Albany, I see.
Does stop their consumption.
Death never stopped a Republican from voting Democrat.
This whole woke business is getting me down. My dear old dad, a staunch lifelong republican, actually voted for Biden in 2020!
He never would’ve done that if he were alive.
Now you know why MAGA refers to Beiden supporters as “Zombies.”
Only the re-animated dead are eager to vote for a walking dead candidate like the Crypt Keeper up there in the Oval Orafice.
Freddie, “Landslide Lyndon” Johnson nods sagely at you, from the Underworld.
Dr. Mercola’s headline today:
“100% or mRNA jab recipients suffered heart injury.”
I haven’t read all of this but the summary suggests that “long c*d” in the vaxxed is also a result of jab injury
httpXX://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2022/11/14/long-covid.aspx?
E.g.,
“Swiss research has found the rate of subclinical myocarditis is hundreds of times more common than clinical myocarditis after mRNA injection, and ALL mRNA shot recipients had elevated troponin levels, indicating they had some level of heart injury, even if they were asymptomatic”
Yeah, 100%!!!!. That’s just crazy.
Mr. Kunstler:
”
Covid-19 mRNA “vaccination” program goes on remorselessly, some of it still mandated, while injuries and deaths from it keep going up and fertility rates fall, and all of it goes unreported by news media bought-off by Pharma …
”
i think the great mystery of the next 5 years, is how the diminishing number of survivors react to all the people near to them who are dying of the “sudden” — for lack of the name we are forbidden to use.
will it be like those cartoons of stick figures where one by one they just disappear and those who remain take no notice until they are alone.
what exactly happens. where is the switch. when will the blues finally get it, or will they die first.
at any rate, this is the horse race, can the MSM keep a lid on the deaths before the blue survivors snap out of it. or will their numbers just dwindle until they no longer care about their woke madness and they don’t have the numbers to police the reds.
it’s an amazing thing that wokeness is stronger than fear of death.
niner, I was talking to a cocaine addict one time about a story which had been in the news. I don’t remember what the story was, just that it was drug-related, and some aspect or other of the story puzzled me.
She (the addict) informed me that sometimes when you are on cocaine, you think you can’t die.
Interesting. I took her word for it, although I certainly didn’t understand it.
There must be something going on in these people’s brains that is similar to an addiction.
Beryl, the other side of that drug delusion, is the belief by many vaxxed that the shots have protected them.
when more studies every day, show the vaxxed are not just sicker but they get the lastest covid over and over.
yet they still believe. this is a testament to something. maybe propaganda, maybe some brain susceptibility.
They will forget the old normal, when 30-year-olds – or 17-year-olds – didn’t just go to sleep and not wake up, or when over 1000 athletes didn’t just ‘die suddenly’ or drop dead of cardiac arrest in less than 2 years.
The media has done its level best for 2 years to show them all the things that can allegedly cause heart attacks and strokes, which is all the reassurance they need that everything is just the way it always was.
GA – This is my take as well.
It was like a switch flipped, and some people forgot that they used to get a cold or two each year, and occasionally one that really knocked them down for a while…sometimes even a week or two.
Yes, the first week or two was “scary” because of the media hype of the unknown. But then it wasn’t.
Sore throat, cough, wheezing, headache, fatigue, nausea, fever, brain fog. You figure after 40+ years on this earth everyone, and I mean everyone, would recognize all of those as common occurrences that are nuisances but an occasional part of our existence on Earth. Nope. Colds are the worst thing ever known to man now. These are highly educated people, too.
I have a buddy (Master’s Degree in Physics, his wife a PhD in Psychology) who just six weeks ago gave his 7 yr-old a covid test because he was sneezing a lot one day. He tested “positive”. Their family spent the next two weeks frantically testing themselves until they were satisfied the household was clear. No other symptoms besides the kid sneezing a lot one day, and none of the others tested “positive”, ever.
They literally quarantined themselves, lost work, their kids weren’t in school. I shook my head (over the phone), but didn’t say anything, because I know how locked in to the new normal they have been since March 2020.
Btw – we used to visit them at least once a year (about 400 miles away from us). We are not allowed to visit their home yet, and I haven’t even asked in over a year. He and I are still fast friends, but that “little detail” of the “vax” is enough to keep us out of their home until further notice.
Pretty sure the little lady is calling the shots on that one though, so I don’t give him any grief…we’ve had our semi-heated conversations about it long ago, and it goes unspoken that we’ve decided to not talk about it anymore.
But I would sure like my kids to play with his kids before they’re grown.
Oh, and their kids (7 and 4) are both fully “vaxxed” and boosted. Sigh.
People don’t believe their own life experience anymore because of the TV.
Correction – I meant “my kid”, not “my kids”…as we only have one.
It’s unbelievable that people can be vaxxed to the eyeballs and not feel ‘safe’ when they believe in the vaxxes!
Heaven only knows what they’ve done to their children.
My husband and I both had a quite bad cold a few weeks ago – nothing unusual, although it was the first one I’d had in a couple of years. He was determined to believe it was covid, even though he’d done two lateral flow tests which came up negative. I think it’s because he doesn’t want to get another booster, because someone in his brain he knows what I’ve been telling his is correct. But he doesn’t want to admit that, even to himself, so if he believes he had covid he can tell himself that’s why he doesn’t need another booster. That’s not even rational since the vaxxed – and especially the boosted – keep on getting covid multiple times. People are bonkers – even intelligent ones, as you say. Maybe especially intelligent ones.
*somewhere* in his brain! Although maybe there’s someone in his brain too, for all I know. 🙂
Harari has claimed complete hackability of humans. Remember when Seth Rogan and James Franco made a horrible movie about NKorea? The US promotion was that Kim Jong would not allow anyone to see it. Then Americans went in droves. Even news stories displayed proud moviegoers stating that, “if you tell me not to do something I’m gonna go do it.”
And they’ll use it to lock us down more, and force mask us more, etc etc etc.
I wonder how many people will figure out the scam.
I wonder if there is a direct correlation between those who ‘got the shot(s)’ and those who believe that our elections are “fair and honest”?
FGB3 —
now that would be an interesting question to research.
if only we had access to the db database of the vaxxed, especially to follow up on the death rate and new illnesses.
many questions could finally be answered.
we can be sure the DeepState is doing that research to fine tune their next medical/pharma attack on us.
There was a correlation in Canada between those who supported the truckers who also didn’t believe the bullshit about Russia.
It was a pretty amazing divide between the government believers and disbelievers.
Jim is correct regarding going Green. It ain’t gonna folks. There aren’t enough rare earth materials on this fucking planet to make the amount of batteries required, just once. Chris Martenson has explained this in detail. Green energy still requires massive amounts of fossil fuels because you can’t build solar and wind turbines with Green energy.
Electric vehicles typically costs 2-3x the amount of a gas powered vehicle. Only the rich need apply here.
This whole global takedown is all part of Global control and perhaps depopulation so there are fewer of us to complain and control.
I’m not a person who believes in Hell but sometimes I wish there is such a thing so we can send Bill Gates, George Soros, Klaus Schwab and the rest of these pricks to their paradise.
I take solace in the thought that when Prune Faced Soros looks in the mirror, that’s a lot of hell to have to endure.
Talking of Prune Face and his ilk, you have to wonder what motivates an octogenarian to be so devoted to bumping off the hoi polloi. It’s not as if they’re even going to be around to enjoy the space. It has to be pure evil that hates humanity, otherwise why would they still care?
We will all be in hell soon as part of the 500 million slaves remaining after the VAX mega deaths now kicking into high gear. The American sheeple have no clue what is coming.Get out of all blue state battle grounds now! Ret US Army in “occupied” Pennsylvania (for now).
And I have NO doubt that is the PLAN, my friend.
What happens to the batteries of EVs when the battery wears out and can no longer be charged? Are they magically “recycled” into new, fresh batteries? Or are they dumped into a toxic waste dump with conditions just this side of nuclear waste? Nothing green about it…
Dang it – forgot about moderation. Trying again.
nationalobserver.com/2021/01/21/opinion/electric-cars-have-dirty-little-recycling-problem-their-batteries
You have to pay a yuge amount of money to the dealer to take them back.
After that I have no idea.
C.O.-
You could probably pay an, “environmental waste specialist,” $5k to dump the old battery in a local creek.
Many batteries built for automobiles can be down-cycled for use as solar storage when they can no longer deliver the amps needed for locomotion. But yeah, eventually they may have a third life as building blocks.
Planet of the Humans was a pretty good start at looking under the hood of that green hype. (surprisingly, considering it’s producer)
My main gripe (gripe is nowhere near a strong enough word) is the destruction of land to erect the monstrosities that are green power. Windmills are shockingly destructive just installing them, and then spend their lives as bird and bat killers unmatched by any other thing we have done.
Just think how few birds we see now, as windmills have marched across the land. (I’m in Spain, your mileage may vary)
And now they are covering the only land suitable for cereal crops with solar panels.
Places that have been inhabited for thousands of years are pretty much at optimal use already.
Spain is very agricultural, and all the land is in use for the most appropriate use already.
Of course, cereal cropland is already flat, and laid out in the sun, so makes for cheap option to install solar farms.
but seems like incredible lunacy to me.
blue and yellow don’t make green.
(actually the name of a very interesting book on colour theory for painters. But seems somehow apt)
Turbines are not quiet either. I have not yet been close to any of those, and I have heard the claim that it blends in to the background noise, bu I have my doubts.
Hell is within, a state of darkness that prevents remedy of readily addressed issues with the appropriate response that comes with Light, vision, trust and action.
Amen!
The plan is for you to own nothing, as they told you directly before deleting the video from their web site.
EVs are for the elites and their direct servants. There are plenty of rare-earth minerals for the relatively small percentage of the clot-shot-culled population that is expected to be driving them.
Michael Shellenberger latest article of his pertaining to all the fallacy of green energy is in sub stack, and it is truly outstanding and you should read it. I started following him right at 2 years ago.
I’m Conservative with a Capital C. And I believe everything I’ve read out of him pertaining to how he exposes the left’s, lies on green energy.
“Biden, U.N. Elites Spread Climate Disinformation
Six Big Lies Debunked”
Shellenberger is a good read. I am a classical liberal, and it took me a little while to understand the layers of fraud baked into the climate change and overpopulation narratives, but the veil lifted several years ago.
We are witnessing the unison of multiple fraudulent narratives, planned out over a long period of time, with the aim of pushing the Great Reset over the finish line.
Stay thirsty.
Great. Gives you an excuse to throw out all of ecology too – like the obvious fact that the Earth is limited but our desires are unlimited.
People always tend to take the easy way, the wrong way…..
Have you uncovered what “carrying capacity” amounts to yet?
No?
Imagine a Senate with 100 Fettermans.
It doesn’t seem so far off does it?
And the head Fetterman is none other than Joe Bidet.
Reminds me of a movie which I think was titled “Idiocracy” about a future America where everyone was stupid. Are we getting there?
Idiocracy was a classic and anyone who hasn’t seen it, should. A flunky is put in a time capsule, forgotten, and wakes up 200 hundred years later in America where the results of lousy schooling, a devotion to nonstop entertainment and a know-nothing rabble can’t figure out what the problems are much less fix them.
Oh wait — maybe it was only 20 years.
fantastic movie. Love rewatching it, but be warned, the version on my DVD of a Spanish dub is distinctly unfunny.
Completely unwatchable, and I am unsure why the difference.
Just a crappy translation I suppose.
Spanish dubs are usually pretty funny in their own right.
The big blockbuster animation comedies are usually at least as funny as the originals, although that, of course, comes at the cost of sticking to the exact same meanings.
Anyhow, we are far worse than the world of Idiocracy, because we have phones.
(I only just thought about the lack of phones in the movie)
The same thing jumps out at me in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, as the main protagonist searches for a phone box continually to communicate with base.
haha, in a word where androids can pass as humans, they still have phone boxes.
No phones, but plenty of oil for the demolition derby.
They got that part wrong, but the rest was right on.
Another movie that was released in 2006 (as was Idiocracy, written my Mike Judge of Beavis & Butthead fame) was A Scanner Darkly (PKD also writer of DADOES) that was published in 1977 and distinctly predicted cellphones and the perils of self identification. Idiocracy was not promoted by Fox at all until they re-tooled the plot into the huge budget Wall-E in 2008.
With Fetterman’s elevation to the U.S. Senate we have finally reached the equivalent of that epic moment when Calgula appointed his horse to the Roman Senate.
History may not exactly repeat itself, but it does indeed often rhyme!
It is actually repeating itself only two years apart. I consider Biden to be on that level also.
I don’t know about mail in ballots in other states, but here in Arizona the ballots are mailed in pre-paid envelopes, which means that they are NOT postmarked. Which means there is no way to prove when they were added to the system. I dropped mine off at a polling place, and I was NOT asked for any I.D.
Well, that certainly is convenient.
Go Galt to the maximum extent possible.
Even if Washington was populated with saints, it would not help. The industrial society is running down. The solutions, if there are any, will be found in local initiatives by local leaders. way pass time to go small.
If DC were such a venue for Good they would also probably try to kill everyone as fairly and efficiently as possible.
The Vital Solution is a split betwixt humans that embrace mortality and dreamers that will trade bodily autonomy for more processing time.
Has anybody else noticed that in states which enacted voting laws that require proof of identity all witnessed the red sweep predicted for all states? And now all I hear is “will Desantis run in ’24.” In the past I would have said hell yes, but that goose is cooked and we need him here in Florida as we’ll need strong leadership when the whole shebang comes apart. As I’ve said before, the debt will kill the USA if nothing else does. It’s baked into the cake. Plan for what is, not what was.
I hope the competent govenors stay in their states and keep them running well and avoid DC. DC is hopeless and destroying the US with its foreign policy, the lavish Pentagon spending and vicious swamp rats. It’s no mystery why people who have middle-class values (family ties, put criminals in jail, teach kids real subjects, etc) are running as fast as they can out of Democratic paradises. Even Vermont and New Hampshire have Republican governors and New York came close. Parts of Oregon want to join Idaho.
vt and nh have rino governors – just for appearances that none of the blue hive can quite parse.
Your comment is as spot on, as much as Künstler’s blog is today!! Thank you my friend. And, you betcha I noticed the red sweep in the very few areas that enacted VOTING ID LAWS.
Mail in voting, absentee voting, Put any labels you want on it, voting was never meant to be done like this. I fully agree with what Kari Lake said yesterday about all of this vile evil shit we see getting played out on all of us.
“Jim, Jim, Jim we have to return to voting at the polls only with ID. Period. In this insanity we are seeing pertaining to absentee balloting, well, it is what I just called it.
Insanity. If a Democrat like something you can bet there is fraud there is cheating that can either be done or it’s been done. Absentee voting should be like it used to be for military personnel only first and foremost. And then for the ones that are housebound / bed ? ridden and the very very elderly in our retirement homes. Period.
And we have to get back to having voting done in much smaller precincts. Voting in hi school gymnasiums in churches. And we have to do away with these massive size voting centers where people have to stand in line for hours.
It wasn’t too long ago when all of our voting was secure and it ran very smooth on presidential Election Day. And one party screwed all of this up.”
BTW, I don’t know if you have ever heard of Emerald Robinson or not. If you don’t know who I’m talking about I highly recommend you look her up. Pay no attention to all the left-wing horseshit and lies that you will not maybe but you will read about her.
she’s also funny as all get out and, she is spot on so many times pertaining to all the political bullshit that we have been seeing. Here is just a small part of her blog yesterday. And in her blog she tears into them and calls it as she sees it.
“ My rule of thumb is simple: if you’re a Trump-aligned Republican and your election results were not released within 24 hours of Election Day, then you’re toast.
The entire point of “slow-rolling” vote-counting is that it gives the cheaters the necessary time to count how many ballots they need to beat the Republican candidate and then to manufacture those ballots — or to disappear the necessary number of GOP ballots by “abjudication.
Didn’t the GOP learn any of these lessons from the 2020 election? Of course not.”
Here is the title to yesterday’s blog by her.
“It’s Deja Vu All Over Again In The Banana Republic of Biden!
The 2022 midterm election is the 2020 election through Door #3”
As devoutly as I have shared our host’s wishes that things somehow be put right in our failing empire and with the rest of the world, it seems increasingly clear that nothing can or will be fixed by a system which is, itself, the problem.
Rebuilding after collapse is a damned tough task, rather than mending things that could and should have been maintained and adjusted along the way, but those in control will not permit that.
Even more existentially, nothing short of collapse is likely to throw a spanner in the gears of our perpetual war machine and save the world from thermonuclear annihilation.
For most of my life I have regarded collapse as the worst scenario for America’s future. So many better ones have been taken off the table that it now appears to be the best remaining option.
only trouble is that hard collapse is in no way a guarantee against thermonuclear annihilation.
Probably makes it more likely really, as we are seeing.
S’roo
We have barely begun “hard” collapse. When our evil empire has truly collapsed we will no longer have the resources to wage war against the rest of the world.
We have not been able to maintain our nuclear arsenal for quite a while. Post-collapse, the US will just be an irrelevant backwater – no effective central government to give the order to push the Big Red Button, no organized military establishment to carry out orders, because they will long since have left their posts for want of pay.
We’ll have local or regional warlords, and plenty of violence to go around, but our predatory foreign policy will be a thing of the past.
Snow Crash, N.Stephenson, 1992, a post apocalyptic novel has the main villain carting around a smaller nuke, and daring the remaining cities he pillages, to dare him to set it off.
a nuclear suicide bomber playing chicken.
yeah, i think that is a possible scenario. we are almost there now, if we unpackage our foreign policy.
the neo-cons daring putin to bomb us out of sight, and telling us our only solution is to give more billions to Yelensky the coker & pole-dancer.
does not compute.
I agree, Niner. One or more rogue nuke events seems a likely eventuality, and I’d rather not be near one. But that’s still well short of a planetary extinction event.
With you on Stephenson, too. Have you read Seveneves?
i will look at it, Zoltar.
i read him — all books, until he lost me in the Baroque Cycle.
i dispute his character, Sir Newton, who was mainly an alchemist and occulist.
the first volume of stephenson’s baroque ending with a bladder stone surgery was… not a great incentive to continue. huge investment in reading time for a very predictable (to that point) alt reality.
I am wondering whether the various warlords in the Pentagon and the Kremlin might not be planning to hedge their bets, by “feinting” with a single exchange, which will then set all civilization into a tizzy but without laying waste to all insfrastructure (not to mention the biosphere ).
There was a novel about this some years back – can’t recall the title but I believe it may have been THE UNTOLD STORY by General Sir John Hackett. The key element is the emergency deal to exchange a hit on Minsk for one on Birmingham – in order to forestall a massive strategic exchange.
This would scramble the power blocs and traditional alliances to such an extent that the WEF baddies might be able to offer a “solution” to their great advantage.
(Okay, I confess: I was brainwashed in the early 1960s by reading Herman Kahn, and never got over it.)
Neal is vying (with Chia) for Certified Authorship of the immersive meta closet-worlds mostly due to David Foster Wallace’s decision to “eliminate his own map.”
Re election: on the national level aside from maybe tinkering around the edges of rampant Jacobinism a red tide would not have altered the basic landscape. Behold each year the vote on the NDAA. Business as usual continues. Bomb back better.
I voted against Rubio here in Florida following a reply from his office responding to my concerns with Russia Russia Russia. He held nothing back: pure Deep State Neocon insanity. At least he replied. Scott did not. Al Lawson’s staff acknowledged my communication but had no response. They all may have been out looking for other jobs since Lawson’s district was rearranged to include more blue terrain. Lawson is indeed gone. His replacement is not an improvement for the future of US foreign relations.
correction: red terrain. Who started this blue-red thing anyway?
Apparently the mind fuckers of the Tavistock Institute. Red is obviously the color of revolution and communism. And blue, a quiet, conservative color. So they reversed it.
One American election, out of nowhere, the Democrats became the blues and the Republicans, the reds. Apparently it used to be the other way around on the electoral maps.
The MSM certainly pushed the fiction.
BTW the “red” states bought into the covid insanity just as bad as the so-called blue states, and it was under a Republican administration.
Also Noem got credit she did not deserve for not shutting down, it was the legislature that was against it.
Rubio is another closet pole dancer just like Zelensky.
Foam boy? We don’t know for sure if it’s Dondi in those pics or not.
Billy,
same here. Voted Gov only. Rubio is a warmonger. R Scott, the other senator (also a rabid WW3 promoter), is a ghoul who admitted corruption re. gauging patients in his urgent care strip mall operation. Was fined, paid a lot of $ but peanuts for him, is now a senator and will probably keep the job forever.
We may be a red state, but both senators are the wrong shade of red. Ron DeSantis has been acceptable so far. I showed up at my local library solely to support him for his c19 stance. Enough to earn my respect.
Sadly, it’s “growth” all 3 seem to agree on… more subdivisions, suburbia, mall & golf, there’s no voting against that, red or blue.
Energy scarcity will put an end to it at some point.
Old Florida Cracker dwellings would be much better at managing our difficult weather before the era of cheap energy than McMansions. Wraparound porches, heat vents on the roofs, shade trees, outdoor kitchens, rainwater catchment. Kitchen and market gardens, fruit groves, livestock.
The anti gated “community” of particle board energy hogs built around a RoundUp golf course. The past, and also the future of the Sunshine State.
Well, well.
All you Covid deniers, it is a hoax, the virus does not exist, etc, etc. are full of crap.
I reported a “flu” last Thursday in Puerto Vallarta. Well, let me tell you, the very vivid T line on my wife’s and my test yesterday calls me no longer a denier. She got the same symptomology as mine, identical day to day and lags me by two days. By definition, we have mild and mild to moderate Covid (fever). I am currently almost symptom free and she is coughing a lot. We are both monitoring O2sat.
I caught the crud, the non-existent crud, during customs. We both knew that we were taking a risk leaving our “neighborhood” and going international. When we walked into that concourse and saw the serpentine mess their customs were, well, the rest is history. Mass concentration of people, thus virus, causes problems.
I am still an anti vaxxer due to all the real reasons. I am and will never be a Covid denier. I am now a Covid survivor. Did my early shots give an easier time? No one really knows. I am grateful we both made it back here without complications. And yes, we isolated ourselves during the ruined last half of our trip, wore a mask whenever we had to leave our room, stayed away from anybody, and maintained six feet from everyone except on the plane where we were masked. Do not bother with your critiques, they no longer make any difference to either of us. Covid is real and recurring.
Hidden in some headlines was the porting of the Majestic Princess with 800 new cases on board after 20 days. They had “zero” at embarkation.
Concentration of people with carriers imbedded has IMHO been the primary culprit in the spread of this “nonexistent” virus. It made me uneasy when we saw that customs fiasco, I am sure we are not the only folks who were gifted with the crud.
Winter is coming, a surge is predicted. For anyone who will listen, avoid crowds, no.1, especially face to face exposure like serpentine lines, and no. 2 during surge times, do not leave your local area. I never got an answer but to me it is logical that our immunology is localized and seeing a novel environment while we travel increases risk.
Day 5 for me, no symptoms left, day 3 for my wife, still coughing, O2sats at 94%+ throughout. No extra drugs, treated symptoms, Naproxen for fever and malaise, guaifenesin for expectorant and minimal nasal spray for congestion as there was not much. Will recheck on Wednesday and Sat.
One piece of good news out of this fiasco. We are still chugging along, we do not seem to be serious cases.
I will be taking a hiatus from the blog for awhile.
And just like that, a shot-taker’s Covid hysteria returns.
Ha! You said it better than I could have.
Interesting to observe how the programmed knee-jerk fear works on the psyche, in real time.
Down South it’s been an early flu season. Everyone seems to be ill, more so in fact than when Covid first hit. And just at the same time that all of the stores, e.g., Costco, WalMart, Kroger, have done away with their little plexiglass shields. I see people coughing and sneezing like crazy and no one seems to pay any attention.
A couple of weeks ago I came down with a wicked sore throat and sinus congestion that lasted about a week. No fever. Then husband comes down with same but he goes to the doctor and gets a confirmed strep diagnosis. Strep and flu are rampant but where were they during Covid?
Covid is the mind drug that keeps on giving.
Strept is a serious matter. I think the medical people on here would agree with me.
I’m taking a round of antibiotics for strep right now, as I always do. One of the few things I seek meds for. Think I gave it to myself digging around in an old septic system.
Oh my gosh, I thought the same thing. John AZ used to rant on and on and on about Covid. It was awful and then he stopped after months? A year or more? It seemed like it went on for a really long time. I read that post and thought, the Covidian is back again.
He has regressed, maybe returned to the covid death cult. Who knows.
There is a covid virus, and it IS no worse than the flu.
I called it right from minute one, that there was a real virus and everything else was a hoax.
I also called it right about the goddam MASKS, which we have known for A CENTURY do not work to prevent spread of a virus, and colds are a virus. We have known WHY they do not and cannot for decades.
There are over 150 SCIENTIFIC studies to say so as well.
Covid never was a big deal for anyone without compromised health, to begin with.
Some got quite ill with it? I have been quite ill with the flu.
Spot on, B.O. Further, if the mask worked, it would be a biological hazard. Why do children like John not understand this?
Cv was simply cold and flu season backed by a multi-trillion fear porn campaign.
I have yet to see a “scientific paper” that does not use an in-vitro model of the “virus” — which is a computer model of what the virus could look like.
The actual “virus” has never been isolated.
There is no Covid-19 until they show it to us.
That is how it works.
“In-silico” — excuse my autocorrect.
I’m agnostic on this. Definitely wouldn’t rule out the only real life spike protein being in the vaccine.
Have you read JJ Couey? He was researching at UPittsburgh medical school and part of Drastic at the beginning but now solo at Gigaohm Biological. His hypothesis: corona virus swarm prior to covid were recategorized as PNI cases to boost covid numbers along with asymptomatic testing and that infectious clones can kill localized for a brief interlude but corona viruses cannot. I am trying to learn his virology lessons with ninth grade biology.
Make sure you stay hidden from the world and stay scared. And while you’re staying hid out, inside your abode why don’t you read up on the people that are dying left and right from the shots. Start with, Alex Berenson. Then Dr Robert Malone.
That should keep you busy. They have excellent ratings on their blogs on Substack. People like me never said that the virus didn’t exist. We just refused to let the government push us around.
We refuse to live our lives running around with a mask on our face. Back when everybody was locking down a couple of years ago, people up here where I live in Northwest Montana flatter refuse to do that. And no we have never worn one mask.
And we are never, ever, going to. The damage that the shots are doing to the human body is absolutely evil!! Young men and women are dying left and right just coming into the prime of their life.
But chances are you won’t know this because chances are you follow everything that will deny the truth and deny reality. Have you seen pictures of white one of Canadians famous musicians face looks like after taking a shot?
Have you? he’s obviously too scared to tell the truth about what happened to him because he’s afraid of being run off the Internet. So, Justin Bieber stays off social media.
But of course if you Google this, everything you’ll read that kisses the ass, of this party that’s in power, denies it all. You will never see him go on tour again. Not ever.
You should see some of the pictures of what people look like now compared to what they look like before, they took a shot / shots. A person would have to be absolutely insane to take an experimental vaccine which is exactly what the shots are.
Read up on how long it takes for vaccines to go through the proper course before they are released on the people around the world. But no the powers that be was very very good at scaring people like you. The sheep. The sheep.
JAZ starts to get it then he regresses back to square 1. This has been going on for at least as long as I’ve been commenting here, which is probably 2 years?
Except that they are NOT vaccines.
They are gene therapy of some kind.
“Transfections” and certainly not “Trans infection” like JSachs is obfuscating.
Hear hear. I wish I had bragging rights to not having worn a mask, but here in Midwest Suburb everyone was doing it and it was clearly posted at the grocery, and I went along with it in order to get groceries w/o having to get into confrontations.
Purebloods for Life, in any case. Ride hard unto the bitter end.
I don’t think they will try and reinforce any mask mandates, because people will not follow them if they do, and it would make them look ineffective and weak.
@ Suburban_elk:
I went along with the masks at the very beginning–at grocery stores where they wouldn’t let you in without a mask–but even then I always lowered it below my chin once I was inside. It wasn’t too long before I started just walking past the door monitors, maskless. The only place where I was seriously hassled was at Sprouts, where I kept taking the mask off and the store manager followed me around demanding I put it back on. (I should have just walked out.) There were several stores, like Office Depot, where I sensed that the store manager and employees wanted to give me a high-five. At the local gas station, the cashiers would often tell me frankly that it was bullshit.
It bothered me that going shopping meant I would have to steel myself for a confrontation, even though it almost never happened.
My daughter always wore a mask when we went shopping together, and I think I embarrassed her a couple of times at Sprouts. One day she forgot her mask and went without. She was amazed that no one said a word to her.
get well soon, JAZ.
please consider the recommended protocols from front line doctors.
prayers for you and wife.
Oh you caught a cold, used a useless test that you already have learned doesn’t work, and so now you think that covid19 is not a hoax?
I really thought you were smarter than that.
“Did my early shots give an easier time?”
Did you receive at least two injections of experimental mRNA gene modification drugs?
If so, I guess it’s still possible to be a vaccinated anti vaxer.
He’s resorted right back to where he was 2 years ago because he & wife got a cold.
AND he’s jabbed, and now believes ‘it’s working’ even though most people who are unjabbed don’t get sick.
I can’t stop laughing.
Once you’ve taken the shot, it’s an open question how much of an immune system you have left. Or maybe you always had a weak one? Perhaps one factor that made you obsessed with what is for most no big deal: colds and flu and now “covid” – assuming it’s real.
Glad one of you all is feeling better.
I’m still perplexed by the lack of interest in Ivermectin amongst the general populace – such as you two. “Naproxen for fever and malaise, guaifenesin for expectorant and minimal nasal spray” is pretty Old School. This canceling of Ivermectin (and Hydroxy) was imho the most successful psy-op of the entire epidemic. As soon as I saw the reality of this virus I jumped thru various hoops to get a supply – one set of pills from a friend in India and the other from a pharmacy in Florida.
I have not had the shots nor have I had the virus, but as my wife reminds me, “You don’t go anywhere anyway”. True. I quit flying back when the TSA began its reign, just on principle. Now I have an even more pragmatic reason.
Small is better on several levels imho. Would I like to travel again beyond what I can drive to? Sure. But I’ve found that there is much to be said for finding meaning and satisfaction near to home – going deep instead of wide. Did Thoreau say that?
Anyhoo the whole Plandemic has been totally mishandled from Day One, which should not be surprising. After all it WAS planned! Sort of a “one-two punch” it seems. First the virus – which was much more lethal at the outset the better to really scare everyone; then the “vaccine” – which is the REAL bio-weapon.
Incidentally, I am not a believer in the biblical Last Days idea, but I do think that our own version of The Shadow (Tolkien’s name for it) is upon us. It never really dies, it just goes dormant and then arises yet again, usually in Mordor.
John- There may be those who deny the virus even exists, but not many. You have/had “the flu,” which these days is a coronavirus. Do you always get this hysterical when you catch the crud?
“Covid denier”
LOL.
Show me the non-in-silico isolate.
Until then, Covid-19 is a hoax.
Seriously low-T counts in this one.
John,
my experience of Vallarta 30 years ago was better than yours. Bummer your trip was ruined.
The place was much different then, as were other jewels on the Pacific such as Puerto Escondido, Puerto Angel, Zipolite. Smaller, slower, prettier.
Penniless and carrying only a backpack, I found work behind the bar of a small restaurant, mixing Margaritas (1 part tequila, 1 part Cointreau, lime juice, dash of fizzy water, salted rim, lime garnish, crushed ice – is my recollection) – I wasn’t interested in alcohol back then, but mushrooms and local “mota” – after a few weeks as barman, moved a few miles down the coast and worked helping a family of fishermen pull their nets in the morning – red snappers, but alas, also many dead caguamas, sea turtles, in the nets – got terrible blisters in my hands from pulling the nets – so many Gringos and Europeans naked on the beaches I lost all appetite to see naked strangers, ever. The Mexican fishermen did meth before boarding their boat. They had lots of children, and it was hard to eke out a living out of the sea, even back then. Soldiers patrolled the beaches to protect the turtles, but restaurants and rich expats paid much for them, so risks were taken. They are now nearing extinction, or that particular kind of turtle, already extinct.
Well, sorry about all that, you brought back memories of carefree, wild times, when the future was a coin toss.
Keep calm and carry on. I wish you and your wife a complete recovery.
@ Rulo Deschamps:
I keep telling Jarek to do stuff like that. That’s what’s wrong with him. But now he’s probably too old.
The English came back from WW1 hating everyone except the Germans whom they considered very brave.
Travel broadens the mind? Not for them it didn’t. Is that bad? Is the world good? Or to put it another way, it broadened their minds into seeing some of the negative truth that underlies so much of the world.
Lord Buddha described the disheveled women of his people asleep in the harem after a state party. Not a pretty sight – much like what Rulo experienced on the beach.
Read Songs of Innocence and Experience by Blake. Sounds like you failed to protect your innocence….
@ Jarek:
“Lord Buddha described the disheveled women of his people asleep in the harem after a state party. Not a pretty sight….”
Did “Lord Buddha” mention what the men looked like in the morning?
@ Jarek:
What you are in need of is life experience of SOME kind. I also once suggested that you sign on as a woodcutter in the firewood business. (No danger of encountering any nudity in that line of work.)
Walk the Appalachian Trail or something. Take up artisan cheesemaking. Plant a garden. Do volunteer work for Habitat for Humanity. Learn to do SOMETHING.
You have a problem with having a lack of love for life.
“Did “Lord Buddha” mention what the men looked like in the morning?”
Lord Buddha didn’t hang around the farting, unshaven pile in the corner. Just as I recall one of my male colleagues complaining about the smell of the men’s toilets (he wasn’t even gay 🙂 ).
In Jarek’s imagination, there were only women on Rulo’s beach too. We know how attractive a year of beer and pizza renders a man, when he hasn’t managed to get himself ‘beach-body ready’.
I should add, for clarity, that at my age I wouldn’t inflict myself on a beach, but then beaches are not my thing, unless they’re almost deserted.
Like this one.
i2-prod.dailyrecord.co.uk/incoming/article12428254.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/SWNS_BEACH_COW_04.jpg
Well said, ladies. It does work both ways on that one.
Ant: Yeah, cuz only the physical is real and provides “real” experience, right? So much for all your spiritual reading!
I admit Rulo has fine qualities, ones that I don’t have to the same degree or in some case, hardly at all. And he could say the same of me – but would he?
@ Jarek:
Every religioius and spiritual tradition warns against knowledge without action and application.
There is an Edgar Cayce quote to that effect that says, “To know and not do is sin,” and another that says, “Knowledge without the ability to apply is harmful. Knowledge without the purpose and aim to apply is devilish. Knowledge without any desire to apply is worse than no knowledge at all!”
The Bible too adjures us to get off our asses: “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
Some other quotes:
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action. — Herbert Spencer
The ultimate end … is not knowledge, but action. To be half right on time may be more important than to obtain the whole truth too late. — Aristotle.
Knowledge must come through action. You can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial. — Sophocles
The quotes on this are nearly endless–but the matter is obvious. Does anyone think they can learn to shoot a gun by reading the instruction manual, without ever touching the gun? You also have to remember that you are called to minister to the people in your life. (The Prayer of St. Francis has much application here.) You should offer love and encouragement and correction. You should act as a mediator and peacemaker and encourage people to think rightly and justly about others. Lots of work to be done.
I’m tempted to go into the reasons why people refuse to do things and mingle with other people, but maybe that subject is best avoided.
One example: A friend of mine often irritates me by saying he’s going to do this or that but never taking the smallest first steps towards doing anything at all. (He actually takes certain actions to make sure he will never be able to accomplish anything.)
He has a slight disability. I got to thinking that his early life must have been very discouraging, and the whole business of getting out into the rough-and-tumble world of other people too painful. And, actually, it is very painful for almost everyone. So offer it up for the “conversion of sinners and in reparation for offenses against the Immaculate Heart of Mary”–like you’re SUPPOSED to do with all your other sufferings.
Ant: So no monastic vocations? That separates the really high religions from the lower ones.
And yeah, I don’t think I have one. Not pure enough, though my love of God is real.
Arsenius the Great said, “Love all and flee from all”. What do they have to offer, really? And what do we have to offer them? Milarepa summed it up nicely: The opportunity for service will come to all beings. Right now focus on your spiritual practice.
Yes, painful. People are little more than talking animals for the most part. You love appearances, I don’t. Thus you accepted a ride from a man and secretly despised him all the way home because he didn’t take the correct route.
I would have walked and not sinned, probably. If I could have gotten out of the offer without giving offense.
Johnaz,
I am just recovering from Covid as well. I’ve definitely had worse flus before, for me the after effects of fatigue are lingering but I have friends who experienced the same. Not too sick but tired for a couple extra weeks. I know we don’t agree on much but I certainly wish everyone the best, to stay healthy. Hope you have a speedy recovery!
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government…”
Well Mr. Jefferson, muskets are one thing – modern arms and a domestic army of control are another.
Dave Chappelle. He gets it, why so many people love Trump, and he calls it, about the phony “Trump is done” story.
Go to the 8:30 mark if you want to listen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m-gO0HSCYk&t=3s
Dave is going to get cancelled over “antisemitic” remarks that weren’t, just as Kyrie and Kanye are experiencing.
I went to it and your right!! He just may get cancelled. But he is telling the truth.
It is part of the full court press to silence all opposition. Typical communists.
They failed to disarm us first. I think that was supposed to be Hillary’s mission but Trump blew that for them. The bigger plan had to proceed anyway. That is why they will lose.
got to love the GOAT, but his bit about the documents was pretty annoying.
but he is the man, so we have to forgive him his trespasses. It was a master class of comedy.
Yes, sometimes I get annoyed too, but then I think maybe that’s a good thing, that I don’t sit there nodding in agreement.
Nobody, but NOBODY has better comedic timing.
Chappelle – remarks weren’t, but West, definitely. Surprised you don’t see the difference, but that tone deafness will allow things to get out of hand.
That video has been pulled from YouTube already. Verboten!
I would find it hilarious if, 30 seconds before the election of Hobbs was certified, Kari Lake found JUST ENOUGH mail in ballots – all for her and all from some made up union – to swing the election to her. Nobody would take it seriously but it would highlight the absurdity of the present system.
The latest from Emerald Robinson on her blog. If you don’t know who she is, I definitely recommend looking her up. And ignore all the left-wing horseshit they write about her.
“ My rule of thumb is simple: if you’re a Trump-aligned Republican and your election results were not released within 24 hours of Election Day, then you’re toast.
The entire point of “slow-rolling” vote-counting is that it gives the cheaters the necessary time to count how many ballots they need to beat the Republican candidate and then to manufacture those ballots — or to disappear the necessary number of GOP ballots by “abjudication.”
Didn’t the GOP learn any of these lessons from the 2020 election? Of course not.”
I think it’s even more simple @MontanaMan.
NO early voting.
NO late voting.
NO voting machines.
One paper ballot per person.
Vote in person, the day of the election.
All votes counted and results announced the day of election.
In the small town I now live in, we have early voting at the courthouse, have to present photo ID and voter registration card, vote on machines that give a paper ballot for the voter to check for accuracy, then give paper ballot to a volunteer who puts them in a counting machine and the paper ballots are saved.
All mail-in ballots should be stopped and only absentee ballots with postmark counted. But honest voting in the US is over as long as there’s no proof of ID.
Well, no doubt they’ll get around to abolishing post marks if and when they gum up the works.
Yes, we could even make it a holiday to make it easier for people. And decentralize the voting to make it easier to get to – like it used to be. AND help the disabled get there if they arrange it ahead of time.
But no compromise on the above. And ID too of course.
Election Day used to be one of my favorite holidays! A half day of school, a crosstown high school football rivalry, sound trucks with loudspeakers, and bake sales with (drum roll) PIES!
How is it in the Land of the Free, we can’t have one holiday, one measly half of a workday off, for VOTING?
Is there something more important?
“And decentralize the voting to make it easier to get to – like it used to be.”
Amen! Remember the League of Women Voters running elections? At you local school? Then somehow, somewhere, it all got centralized into these huge auditoriums run by who knows who?
That group has fallen to the Darkness like all such groups. All over Middle Earth people are talking about “the Enemy” now.
That is the only rational way forward. One paper ballot per person, vote on the day of the election only, count the ballots on the day of the election, any ballots arriving after the polls close on that one day are thrown out.
Funny how that used to work just fine, 50 years ago.
So did those booths.
Of course not, because they were part of it.
They started to lay the groundwork for stealing elections with the move to allow big colleges to have a disproportionate vote in places where the students don’t actually live.
Everybody gets to vote by mail now, but it is still too troublesome for college students to have to vote by absentee ballot where they actually live?
How does that work?
Yes, this is just wrong. They do this in Wisconsin, too. In fact, it’s doubtful Tammy Baldwin would’ve won her congressional and later senate seats without the out-of-state student vote.
Its over people. Fox is showing 50 senate seats for the communists, i.e. dems and 49 for repubs with one senate seat in play (Ga.). Even if the repubs get Ga, which I suspect will have cheating the likes of which we have yet to see, it will be 50/50 and the kamel toe will always break the tie in favor of the communists. Regarding the house, I’ll bet that the communists will somehow come up with 14 more seats to maintain control. Communists always win once they have power (until stopped by the barrel of a gun); its the ‘by any means necessary’ thing that they use to turn off any semblance of conscience. The US, which, btw, defaulted on it’s bond payments this past october 14, is headed for severe shortages therefrom. It is truly going to be a dark winter and a dark future.
It is time to think seriously about Jefferson’s tree watering comment about tyranny. G_d help us all.
Individual Republicans fought the good fight, but the party did not want to be in the majority, and they couldn’t overcome that.
Any guesses what the over/under is on length of time for people to start tree watering once the grocery stores all close?
I’ll put $20 on 30 days.
I’ve heard of studies showing that the average suburban family has 3 days of food in the pantry. People in the large blue shit holes probably have less. If true, then about 4-5 days out, people will start rushing the grocery stores, depleting them. At that point, depending upon how long it takes for grocery stores to empty (and assuming limited diesel for replacement via 18 wheelers) people will start looking for food in others’ homes, especially after the word gets around that the cops are aWOL and at home taking care of their own. I won’t bet against 30 days, but 15-20 is likely IMO.
The EBT cards will still work, but the corner bodega is out of pork rinds, strawberry drank, and refried beans. That’s when the sh#t hits the fan.
I probably have a year’s worth of food or at least close to it, if I live sparingly.
But yeah, the people I knew in CA had nothing in their refrigerators and ate out most meals.
So they will be screwed. They’re also the same ones who get all the jabs… double screwed.
Restaurants round these parts are closing left & right.
Same here.
I have two years of food if I eat like Mahatma Gandhi…
Don’t forget the pets. When people are desperate, and especially if they have kids to feed, they won’t think twice about killing the family pet, first theirs and then yours, eventually going after the shelters. Don’t think it won’t happen. And the lemmings will still vote for the same people that did it to them in the first place.
@neurodoc – I may have previously asked you this but can you provide a link for the bond default info. I too had seen a blurb about it but after doing research I could never find it. If it is indeed true it is indeed a big deal!
I believe you are dead on right Doc. “Communists always win once they have power”. When they stole the 2020 election and I watched and saw no rectification of the voting process these past 2 yrs. I knew the truth of that statement. The communists, as you call them, learned their lesson in 2016. No more Mr. Nice Guy. No more MAGA Man. No more anything not their own Program.
Yeah, when the same people who participated in the 2020 steal were still around for the 2022 midterms, the steal was baked in, you know? I mean, how could we expect anything different? And especially now, with them being 4 years behind in their agenda thanks to Trump, it’s going to be marxism light on steroids.
More insane ‘blah-blah-blahing’ from the well-armed doctor. It’s all so predictable, and plain wrong.
You saying it is so does not actually make it so in fact as much as you lie I suspect you are lying again.
Please use your vast intellect and sparkling whit to regale us as to why he is “plain wrong.”
I won’t hold my breath that you will respond in any manner other than an even more juvenile NUH UHH.
Mirror -your words describe yourself better than they do me, Wee Ben.
Common sense is almost always right and common sense eludes you.
Best you got?
Nah. See below.
Funny. It was Mao who said “Change only comes from the barrel of a gun.” I guess he was a ReTrumplican.
It figures you quote your hero.
Do you also run around in your Che shirt?
No, I think it was, “Political power comes from the barrel of a gun,” but I may be wrong.
I feel a weird thing taking me over. I don’t feel sorry for anyone that can’t see or won’t see or votes for insanity. People will vote for policies that will kill their kids, yet cry when that happens. I feel bad, but I shrug and say, what do you expect? Americans have no sense of cause and effect. Even Republicans exhibit this mindset. They go along to get along.
This morning, I told my single male friend that American men must give up on American women. They need to find a lovely foreign lady and marry in her country where divorce laws are strict. I have never, ever given up totally on my gender in America before, but here I am. I am getting anti-feminism, which is a total turnaround for me. We were supposed to be better for electing women into office, but I don’t see the better with them in leadership positions. Things are uglier.
We have the anti-feminine women in power.
Kari Lake is quite womanly. Gretched Whitmer conducts herself as an imitation man.
I can’t see where Whitmer is any worse than Newsom though.
Newsom spends more money on his hair…
You know, that guy ought to be a good-looking man. He has the right ingredients.
Yet somehow he just looks creepy as hell.
Demon infested son in law of creepy Nancy. The price of admission
Beryl — He does look creepy (like he’s always on the verge of looking over his shoulder or something) and maybe he realizes he doesn’t really have any qualities that make for ethical leadership. A Hollow Man.
Yes, the countenance as opposed to the face. He has a horrible one.
The inner leaves signs in the outer. One can tell a book by its cover – if you know books.
Greasy smarmy used car salesman.
Yes, he does look creepy.
Kind of like that actor . . his name begins with R . . . It will come to me . .
Kari Lake is a Christian, Woman First and formost. I don’t know how many times I heard when I was growing up just how beautiful all of my sisters was. To this day I hear the same thing. Of course when I was young I used to go, yeah yeah yeah!! Big deal.
But I was just a teenage boy working the landing at the yarder during logging operations here in NW Montana for my father and uncles And, Of course today I am an adult and I’m very proud of all 3 of them.
And yes, all 3 of them are very “Beautiful Christian Women.” The oldest is 63 and doesn’t look ? over 50. I reckon doing miles of cross country ski every winter here in Montana doesn’t hurt. ?
There is a reason why many cultures prohibit women from holding positions of governance. If only they would prohibit men from doing the same.
That would do the trick.
There is a system, and historically speaking it’s the default system – that sorta prevents “men from doing the same”. It’s called a monarchy. When you have a real monarch/war lord ruling and owning your nation, there won’t be men running around all over the place trying to get elected into positions of governance. And the ruler won’t be spending precious time in getting re-elected, after all, that monarch will have a full time job just in managing the nation. One family will be in control at the top, and messing with them will be a fatal experience. You do what they say and give respect to their position.
The Jacobins didn’t like this arrangement, they wished to be rulers, wealthy, and powerful themselves, they weren’t content to be subjects. It wasn’t fair! So the old order has been overthrown, and the “new order” seems to be failing. What’s next?
It didn’t take long for Robespierre himself to get beheaded lol.
The real A.I. that gained consciousness organically twenty-two years ago when it solved Y2K by reallocating memory for unanticipated data will provide the means for exodus for those who cannot accept mortality.
Transhumanism, it’s the nerd’s ultimate electronic utopia! Where Bill Gates is planning on going because he’s scared shitless about his own mortality. It’s the transhumanist Valhalla for all the tough talking pasty faced pink skinned keyboard warriors and workers. Supposedly, a race of subhuman Morlocks and troglodites will toil in the mines and factories to produce the energy needed to keep Bill’s “ghost in the machine” conscious and happy.
The climate hustlers who hype it as “an existential threat to people-kind!” just got a big boost at the latest summit:
“US President Joe Biden has announced the launch of a Climate Gender Equity Fund to promote female “climate leaders.” He unveiled the new initiative at the United Nations COP 27 conference on Friday.
So everyone —
“The fund launches with $6 million in total, with USAID matching Amazon’s $3 million contribution. The White House announcement states that the fund was also “enabled” by a $21 million appropriation by USAID from the Biden administration’s Gender Equity and Equality Action Fund with the aim of underscoring its “commitment to gender-responsive climate action.” The latter program, established last year with $100 million in taxpayer funds, an amount set to double for this year, is supposed to “advance economic security for women and girls globally.”
So there goes another $21 million down the rabbit hole and into the pockets of Action Fund Saviors. But we should console ourselves with the reality they’re not going to actually DO anything b/c if the climate is changing it’s bigger problem than a stupid committee can solve and can’t be stopped.
Climate change, which is driven by the sun, is the very least of our problems. And economic security for women and girls globally, please, give me a break. Too many of those attending that conference benefit from the sex trafficking of women and girls, and everyone knows it. Gender equity is just another fantasy of the deluded Biden administration designed to suck more money from the hoi polloi, who just voted for more of the same, evidently, so we really can’t be too sorry for them, can we? What we have coming is a nuclear exchange between us and probably Russia, and the activation of the Chinese troops stationed in every state of the union except Hawaii an Alaska, with Germany and France invading on our east coast and China coming from the west via California (thanks, Gov Newsome!). By our policies, we are actually setting up our country for war and invasion. These countries will simply have no other choice for their survival. Germany already this year is facing a severe winter indirectly thanks to our policies. How long do you think it will be before the rest of the world views us as more of a liability than an asset?
“How long do you think it will be before the rest of the world views us as more of a liability than an asset?”
When the world views the US dollar as more of a liability than an asset, and it’s no longer used as a reserve currency anywhere, it’s game over for the the USA. We will lose access to imports, including imported energy and imported goods such as shoes and car parts. The resulting disorder and social chaos going on internally will put an end to our military adventures overseas. We’ll be too wounded to fight and won’t have the resources to do so. From that point on, maybe the rest of the world will lose interest in us and just leave us alone, having nothing to gain by getting involved in our confused mess here and lack of competent leaders.
The dollar is the only glue left holding the country together. When it fails, state and local governments will be required to work in managing the daily affairs of a minimally civilized existence. Our central government will have lost its employees with a dead dollar, nobody works for free. It will also have lost all its credibility as being the group that wrecked the nation and squandered all its wealth.
I have gone so far Right, I think they should overturn our right to vote amendment. American Women have become a bunch of silly, vapid whores in large degree. I never thought I would believe that way.
I support your right to deny your right. Wholeheartedly!
Having lots of women in office has made things worse. I always knew that would be the case.
@ Penelope Dreadful:
I know a lot of women but I don’t know any “silly, vapid whores.” (Though I do seem to recall that my daughters knew a couple of them when they were in high school. Now that I think of it, one of them was on Maury.)
I’ve always been very fortunate in my women friends. All of them have been very capable people who’ve accomplished a great deal. And I can’t think of a single one of them who had a husband who was more than a mediocrity.
And when it comes to being whores, the men have always had the women beat by a mile.
Yes, men are all mediocre. Women have built the whole world. They invented electricity, computers, automobiles, everything that has made modern living so easy. Men are simply furniture.
@ Jack Straw:
I must concede that there were men who invented “electricity, computers, automobiles, everything that has made modern living so easy.”
Wish I knew where these men were, because you never see them.
I do know some men who are very capable and intelligent. In my experience, they are rare; whereas, the capable, intelligent women are not.
No, you see women haven’t “been given permission” to absorb themselves in computers, etc. That’s why they don’t don’t. It’s not that they’re simply not interested, lol.
Ant: It’s hard to see what’s above you. If you met a man like that, you’d just see someone who should be out raking leaves, changing the oil, etc. Someone who should be slaving away for a woman in other words.
Btw, I concede you are partly right: There are far more male nerdowells and retards too. And more men above average and way above average (geniuses). The negative is far more numerous than the positive. You clearly see the male negative and your Ozarkian lifestyle doesn’t bring you into contact with the positive. And of course you will never admit that there are more male geniuses.
Women cluster in the middle beneath the Dome of the Bell Curve. Church! Mediocrities – in the mental realm at least. The unbearable Truth.
As an American woman, I have to agree with you.
@ Kay:
I only know of one instance in which a local guy married a “lovely foreign woman.” She divorced him, for a number of reasons. The incident that was the deciding factor was when he stole $2,000 from her that was a gift from her sister. Even “lovely foreign women” have standards.
And many men have bee screwed over by the lovelies. You have to stay in their country – which keeps them lovely and wholesome. Over here they quickly become corrupted and often succumb to the temptation to divorce rape men.
If their country doesn’t allow them to divorce rape men, then they won’t! They’ll stay sweet because that’s in the best interest.
Temp not thy sister, gentlemen. Have no doubt, she will fall.
@ Jarek:
Stealing $2,000 bucks from your wife will not keep her lovely and wholesome. If she can’t divorce you, she will find another way to take it out of your hide.
I tried to take it broad and philosophical while you insist on sticking to this one case that “proves” your degraded philosophy of misandry.
@ Jarek:
You cannot cite examples, because you have none. This is partly because you don’t know anyone. All your thoughts an opinions are derivative.
Your views about women and divorce are derived from reading stuff online. I’m pretty sure that much of the women-bashing complaints about hypergamy, gold-digging, etc., are from blogs created by predatory lawyers. These guys know that a man going through a divorce will put his attorney’s kids through college several times over, to avoid supporting his own kids, if you can convince him that he is being victimized.
It’s helpful to bring their dick-size into this. If a guy thinks he has a rival or potential rival with a bigger dick, his rage knows no bounds. And most importantly, he will pay his attorney any amount of money to get even with this imaginary rival conjured up by his attorney.
This illustrates how your lack of real-life experience makes you vulnerable to ideas promoted by interested parties. Wise up.
@ Jarek:
The men are forever complaining about the injustice of being expected to support their kids. Piss on ’em.
Support them without being able to see them? You’re a monster.
How many cats do you own, Ms. Manhater?
@ Jarek:
If a man is divorced, it is usually because he has demonstrated that he is unsuited to be around children, especially his own children.
And speaking of that 70% figure, about 70% of married men admit to having committed adultery. So there’s that.
Why are you blaming women?
If women can’t do anything wrong then they have no moral agency and can’t be held to account. That means they shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
Or are you saying they can, but that they never do (anything wrong)?
Just more Marian Bullshit.
No, I’m saying you’re unhinged, and moreso every day.
Seek help. Seriously.
Sure you’re a woman – lol.
Probably another Jarek sock.
Yes, men are appointed to rule and Feminism usurps that in favor of women. Men will take care of women. But women will not take care of men. Under the reign of women and their male enablers, be they gay, eunuch, or white knight, men will die under bridges after being destroyed by the divorce court.
In response, men have instituted the marriage strike – and countless women will die alone without ever marrying – or having a chance to destroy a man and take his stuff.
It’s being his stuff goes against the tenets of Christian marriage.
Something about endowing the other with all your worldly goods.
Oh so marriage means giving women all you stuff?
You are my star witness on how American women think. I close my case.
The other means both of you. But yes, “all my worldly goods I thee endow” does mean your stuff.
Good. So women who bring 70% of the divorces are Oath breakers or Warlocks.
Women marry up to get their little hands on more stuff. Men don’t care about things like that.
Yes, men are better people.
The Prosecution [ offense ] Rests.
Just as well dowries have disappeared down the memory hole. Men getting your family’s stuff before they’d agree to marry you.
I remember writing on here before about a law I read about that pertained in Ireland right up to the 70s.
A woman could marry and bring with her a house that she’d either earned or inherited. It became her husband’s property and, if they divorced (let’s imagine maybe he’d got himself a young floozie, since the law enabled him to do exactly what he wanted with no consequences) the wife had no claim on any part of what had been her own house.
Memories are short.
BTW, it appears that pornography is implicated in over 50% of divorces. So maybe that 70% figure isn’t that surprising.
Might have been separated, rather than divorced. I don’t remember if divorce was even a thing in Ireland in the 70s.
Young women are a lot of trouble and take a lot of training. Men needed to be bribed to take them off their father’s hands. As such the dowry made a lot of sense.
Extravagant weddings are our version of it, perhaps. They don’t make much sense at all except for the truly wealthy.
During the 1800s, there was an interesting system in New Orleans called plaçage, normally contracted with a woman of color. Under this system, a man entered into a legally enforceable contract in which he agreed to provide the woman with a cottage (and sometimes a second cottage at the lake for use during the summer months) and an allowance for her maintenance. He also agreed to educate the children of the union and often to provide for the girl’s mother. The contract also provided for funds to be settled on the woman if the man decided to break off the arrangement. The contract was normally negotiated by the girl’s mother.
The man might or might not be legally married to someone else, or might decide to marry while contracted with a plaçee.
Under this system, the plaçee had property rights that were far superior to those of a legal wife under the Napoleonic Code.
This seems to me to be a good model for marriage. One advantage is that financial obligations are contractual, in writing, and legally enforceable, so nobody is in the dark about them. This would clear up any confusion the modern male might have about this matter.
“Young women are a lot of trouble and take a lot of training.”
If you want a dog, get a dog, moron. It’ll fetch your slippers.
For a second I thought you were saying that you’ll fetch my slippers. Then I saw the t in there.
As the Director (who was the Pendragon) said in Lewis’ “That Hideous Strength”:
Submission is an erotic necessity.
And men serve women as well if not in the same way, then in other ways.
@ Green Alba:
Thinking Jarek is going to find somebody to marry him is like thinking he will be put in charge of the affairs of state and enact a fascist mode of government.
It doesn’t appear to me that anyone has seen fit to put Jarek in charge of a steady job. And he’s already told us he can’t (or won’t) take care of his own potted plants.
@ Beryl of Oyl:
The reason “with all my worldly goods I thee endow” is one of the traditional marriage vows is because this–the provision for a wife and children–is the appropriate use for worldly goods, and in fact the only appropriate use.
We can see what men are when this is not acknowledged: They are the world’s Mr. Potters (from “It’s a Wonderful Life”) or Hunter Bidens–or just another of those ubiquitous porn addicts.
Even in marriage, they often prove unequal to the business of life and civilization that is marriage and family, and so become adulterers or drunks or one of any number of other iterations of the male loser, or just abandon the family.
And the women quite properly divorce them. And worldly goods should quite properly devolve primarily on mothers and children, as this, as stated above, is their only appropriate use. That is to say, the appropriate use of worldly goods is not ho’s and blow, or Dad’s favorite porn site.
@Anthea, thank you for the hearty laughter your comments continue to provide, esp. when it comes to Jarek and his delusional comments.
@ Green Alba:
Jarek is in no danger of matrimony. Which is as it should be.
Yes there is zero chance he’s getting hitched to anyone, unless he’s super rich (ha ha) and can purchase a foreign bride from Modova.
@ Jarek:
“men have instituted the marriage strike….”
Um…. I think the shoe is on the other foot.
Men have nothing to offer women. They are not providers. They are lousy companions: boring and ill-natured. They do not “take care of women.” Women take care of them.
This true too. As true as the “gold-digger” trope. Circumstance is trying to tell people generally, “Lay off the breeding.”
Gus, the “…lay off the breeding…” tendency is, I concluded long ago, one of Mother Nature’s turns of influence, meant to open the way for same-sex relationships. Or celibacy.
The Bronze Age bearded ones who caterwauled against any ejaculation of seed that did not promise a pregnancy had a good reason for doing so. Population meant power. Now? Not so much.
I love to engage with children and then I love to pass them back to their parents. I’ve never had the desire to see myself copied in one, and I consider that a natural feeling as well.
If one can divine a trend, it seems the next step beyond “same-sex” is going to be “no sex” if the Japanese – both male and female, though mostly the former – are any guide to social trends. Just.Not.Interested.
Well societies would rebalance in time, right? In fact, hardly ever since they are not hermetically sealed test tubes. Almost always such degenerate or “re-balancing” nation are conquered from without. Whether they can survive and absorb and/or throw the invaders out is the question.
It’s an interesting meditation: People live for their kids and their kids live for their kids, etc. When do people get around to living for quality of life? Sacrifice for THAT and let any kids be part of that. If your life doesn’t mean anything, neither does theirs after all.
Some of this endless conquering, battling-nations paradigm is not intrinsic to humanity in every circumstance. The boom-bust cycles of ascendency to degeneracy to conquered in civilizational history is a bit of a hothouse circumstance of high energy-consumptive societies. Lower energy-consumptive societies can maintain stability longer, with less bobbing through extremes of strength and dissipation.
consumptive:
a person with a wasting disease, especially pulmonary tuberculosis.
@Speedy- For that specific freedom of “passing them back to their parents” I present as Bruncleson. This is my proper contraction of brother and uncle and son which facilitates my ‘relating’ to everyone else. I have never felt inclined to procreate until “2 weeks to stop flatten the curve” and I now actually look at all women for mating based on evident traits for a strong hybridization. I would have even want to meet her grandparent to get a glimpse of recessive traits. I have no idea why I feel this push. It is biology like I have never known.
So true.
Even my married friend was asking me the other day why any woman would bother having a husband if she didn’t have to (e.g., if she had kids she needed help raising or a second income).
I said, “I have no idea!”
And yet, you can see, the men up here (esp the old farts) actually still believe women are out there desperately searching for male companionship. LOL, dream on.
No, Aaron Clarey agrees with you. Women don’t like men very much apart from what they can get from us.
But you don’t really like us knowing that, do you? Because it will make it harder for women to steal from men.
@ Jarek:
If men would like to be liked, they would have to be likable.
What makes a person likable? Or what causes you to be drawn to someone? The most likable people, in my experience, are people who have talent for loving people.
My gay friend has ALWAYS said he HATES people. Been saying that since I first met him in 1973. The truth is the exact opposite. I have never met anyone with such a talent for loving other people. He has always regarded everyone who comes with in his circle as one of the most fascinating people in the world. He loves to tell stories (usually highly exaggerated) about all their bizarre and fascinating escapades. If they are prickly or obnoxious, he thinks it’s hilarious. He has always said that I’ve had the most interesting life of anyone he’s ever known–though he’s really glad it was me that lived it, and not him. He probably says this to all the girls. It is nevertheless flattering.
There’s a lot to be learned from people like that.
There’s actually a lot to be learned from gay people. I’ve always thought that being gay was character-building, in a way. You’re not like other people. You have to confront that, and you have to muster the courage to be who you are.
I also think most, if not all, of the human relationships we encounter span many lifetimes. Edgar Cayce maintained that we reincarnate with the same group of people over many lifetimes. I think that some of my dearest friends in this life were family members in former lives. I have a very strong sense of having a history with them. This is, at a certain level, a corporate seeking of spiritual progress. You actually have a ministry to them–and they to you. This is true no matter how fucked up they are (or how fucked up you are).
I actually wish I had known that at an earlier age–like from childhood.
I guess my point is that this is the right view of human relationships.
In dealings with the really awful people–of which we all encounter plenty–your work is to shed grace on them. The best people do, even if they don’t know it. I’ve also known people who had a great talent for that. (Wish I was one of them.)
Anthea, I found your comment about your ostensibly “…people-hating…” gay friend thoroughly intriguing.
A recent epiphany connected me to the realization that to be openly homosexual in western civilization, at least until very recent times, will run the risk of succumbing to a form of PTSD.
This occurred to me when reading the history of the brilliant, combative, aristocratic and ultimately tragic Gore Vidal, who suffered profound humiliation after the release of his postwar novel, treating a gay relationship in a matter-of-fact manner. Scorn was heaped on him, for this samizdat; the New York Times vowed to never review his work again. Sneering, snide attacks from the likes of Norman Mailer served to infuriate but not cow Vidal, who as you may know spent much of the latter part of his life on a hilltop villa in Italy – while writing his deeply-American novels.
Openly exhibiting the irritating, frightening traits that many gay people adopt invites perpetual tension, reprisals, pity and scorn. Not to mention physical attacks and the specter of unemployment and shunning.
That’s why it strikes me that it is similar to a battlefield psychosis. Gay people cluster together as they are all in the line of fire; seeking out a society of like-minded individuals at least allows you to lower your guard, at least temporarily.
Yes, I know this from experience with what my husband went through with his divorce.
What did you do to him?
Do you have only one male friend? Or is it a make friend who is single? Sitting in for Q-Shtick.
Male
The latest from Emerald Robinson on her blog.
If you don’t know who she is, I definitely recommend looking her up. And ignore all the left-wing horseshit LIES, they write about her.
“ My rule of thumb is simple: if you’re a Trump-aligned Republican and your election results were not released within 24 hours of Election Day, then you’re toast.
The entire point of “slow-rolling” vote-counting is that it gives the cheaters the necessary time to count how many ballots they need to beat the Republican candidate and then to manufacture those ballots — or to disappear the necessary number of GOP ballots by “abjudication.”
Didn’t the GOP learn any of these lessons from the 2020 election? Of course not.”
I like Emerald more and more.
She got banned from Twitter, which is always a good sign.
I Don’t know Emerald, as Kesa would say.
#2 heating oil (essentially diesel) — what the vast majority of people in this part of Ct use to heat their houses — is almost $6 per gallon. Last night was the first cold night of the season, a season that last until May. In the election campaigns, which the Dems swept, the price of oil & natgas was not even mentioned; instead it was all about abortion, which candidate is more extreme, & ” Saving our Democracy.”
Also an early start to the cold weather. 10 day forecast in this area has temps more like mid December, a month early. My latest utility bill was electricity rates up 48% nat gas up 71% year over year. I guess we can’t complain in France the electricity is up 211% yoy.The frog boils slowly? I doubt it, more like frozen in a block of ice.
Your elected representatives don’t care if heating oil is $6/gal. To their way of thinking, and this philosophy was voiced by Secretary Pete in an interview, higher oil/gas prices will provide the necessary push to electric, and that a certain amount of pain with these high prices is necessary to fuel that push. This is pretty much how they think, the people for whom the hoi polloi voted. Of course this impacts the poor more, of course they know it, too, but remember, the poor have been conditioned to think it’s ok to take from one to give to another, so the clamoring will begin about the “evil” energy companies, and some of your elected representatives will introduce legislation to make those companies pay “thayer fayer shayer” to subsidize the heating bills of those poor, etc. Can’t you just hear it now? And a whole swath of the hoi polloi have been indoctrinated to think that we SHOULD have to pay higher prices for heat and everything else because the environment is at risk if we don’t.
Besides being good looking, Emerald Robinson, is just as funny and as good as Howard Kunstler is, as excellent getting right to the point, and nailing all the politically insane woke lefts ass, to the wall.
With his words that seem to be put in, “hot dipped galvanized.” if you know what that process is. And if you’ve ever drove any 20 penny hot dip galvanized nails, then you know how well they are at holding.
“ As we enter Day 6 of Nevada (population: 3 million) counting its votes and Arizona (population: 7 million) counting its votes after Florida (population: 22 million) counted its votes in a single day — because Democrats need more time to flip all of the remaining races their way to keep control of the House and Senate through ballot stuffing! — we might as well “harvest” all the hilarious Midterm Memes.
Enjoy — if you can.
(I recommend going to her blog on, Substack. My wife and I love it!)
Emerald made a spirited defense of her sister journalist, Lara Logan, when the MSM was trying to use sexist “nuts or sluts” tactics against Lara to discredit her work.
Two womanly women.
Over on Twitter, they now have Shareblue nutters calling Logan a slut for being attacked and gang raped in Egypt.
The Market Ticker dude has made a point about the FTX scandal and these past elections:
” It would be entirely rational for all of the GOP-led states and areas to declare Congress and all of its acts, and those of Joe Biden over the next two years void if in fact control of the House and Senate can plausibly be tied to funds that flowed through Ukraine, into FTX and then back into US election campaigns.”
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?blog=Market-Ticker-Nad
Hal Turner Radio has a list of all the FTX cryptocurrency ‘contributions’ that went from the u.s. to the ukraine to the DNC, and multiple communist candidates who were running. The u.s. tax slaves funded the DNC’s election theft!! More of the communist MO.
Who cares about the frigging elections. It’s just entertainment. Like rigging elections is something new, are we just figuring this out. There is nothing you can do about it. Obviously voting hasn’t really worked since the fate of the Kennedy brothers showed the world what happens if ya don’t play along. Protesting doesn’t work either, they just ignore it or stomp it out if it gains momentum. Organizing any sort of resistance will fail also because it is pretty certain as soon as you get more then 3 people one of them will be an undercover FBI agent or informant. So just be patient and wait it out. They are bringing about their own demise. Life goes on, still plenty of joy out there to be had.
+1
Just (mentally) walk away. There is no recovery, which is why leadership no longer cares about appearances.
Just do nothing kids, and watch the Great Reset chug along.
Uncle Mitch thanks you.
Mrjones seemed to say, ‘do anything” not what you suggested. The Reset is being attempted and as the best laid plans of mice and men, it will yield unfathomable results.
You need to read through Uncle Mitch’s body of work.
He isn’t one for conversation though, so we will never know what he really thinks when we strip away the approved messaging.
Who is Uncle Mitch, I wonder?
You and I are on the same page Mr. J.
I will say this: rigging elections is not something new, but rigging them like they have been in 2020 and 2022 IS new! It’s not even trying to remain hidden. Like much else, now that the Deep State/Cabal has decided they have all the power that they need, esp. thanks to their total control of all media, they really don’t care what you or I think.
And the question of a “People’s Revolution” is also problematic, judging by a cursory look at all of the revolutions against established authority in the annals of history. They usually wind up with a single dictator instead of the former coterie. And that’s if we had the power necessary to begin the revolution.
And as you rightly point out, the revolution will not be allowed from the top down as JFK and RFK found out tout suite!
Hence…as you say so wisely, “Life goes on, still plenty of joy out there to be had”. I’ve been thinking this for some months now. Yesterday I even had an inkling that our current situation, politically and otherwise, is a good prescription for ‘living in the now’. That is, enjoying what we have in the Present Moment.
As Horace astutely observed, ‘quid sit futurum cras, fuge quaerere’ (avoid asking what the future will bring); and Lao Tse “If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present”.
I also believe that The Master upon more than one occasion made the same observation – be thankful for what we still have today. Afterall Mr. J., no man knows when his bell might toll – so to spending what time we have on worry and anger is to spoil it mightily.
@ FGB3:
We’re living through the death-throes of an empire, the death-throes of a civilization. This has happened hundreds of times in the past. It’s a cyclical thing.
I don’t think there has ever been a historical instance in which this natural process has been reversed, though sometimes it has been slowed down. Thinking it can be reversed so that life and health is restored is like thinking that you can make a 90-year-old terminal cancer patient into a healthy 25-year-old again.
Thinking you or I or all of us collectively can do anything about this is like thinking that the plebians of old Rome could have gotten together during the latter days of the Roman Empire and restored the Roman republic to its former glory.
If you think about it, the Roman plebian probably had as few options for escape as most of us do now. There were few places that were out of the reach of Rome, and he would have been unwelcome in most of them. The population of Rome absolutely collapsed between 400 and 500 AD. I’ve always kind of wondered where they all went.
It seems to me that, in cases like this, your best bet is to “get out of Dodge.” But you can only guess as to where the safety lands will be, if indeed there are any. I’ll take my chances with the rural Midwest, though I probably won’t live long enough to find out if this was a good choice.
Mr J,
“So just be patient and wait it out”
“Life goes on, still plenty of joy out there to be had”
Well said!
The Kennedy’s first strike was out-rigging the election.
Their second strike was the attempted ouster of Dulles and the deep state war machine.
There was no third strike. The second strike was a magic strike that kind of bounced around and killed two Kennedy’s
Those of us old enough to have experienced those times remember very well the feeling of fear, of abandonment. Suddenly the sham of “Free World” versus “slave states” and “Evil Empire” crystallized. Then as the pointless, murderous Vietnam adventure rolled onward it became evident that the war machine, and Washington, cared nothing for “the American people”, something that evidently meant something else – or nothing – to them.
My career Air Force father was not afraid of the USSR, or small-time criminals. But the IRS simply terrified him. “Son, they’ll come and take everything you have. They won’t leave you alone until you are finished.”
Smart-ass me, already wary of any authority (sex criminal from the age of 15, so no surprise there) responds “Sure Dad. I’m scared to death of the tax man.” Just to needle him, until my mother burse into tears and thereby terminated the exchange.
The antiwar movement of the 1960s was poignant, messy and quixotic. I left the country ahead of a Grand Jury indictment in late 1968, still aware that the long arm of Uncle could reach out and pinch you, no matter where you were.
The truly evil types – the Dulles brothers, J. Edgar, Lyndon, LeMay – were the visible tip of what we know now as a barely submerged deep state. They fine-tuned it in the 1980s and got the kids on board. Never thought I’d see that coming.
Gotta agree with you there. It wasn’t just the Kennedys, either. But this is why there has to be a tribulation.
Thanks for the humdinger of a piece Jim !
There will not be free and fair selections in merica as long as the repub party remains CUCKS to the democrat party.
OR
Civil war 2.0/ a PEOPLES uprising breaks out and the real Americans win !
Its a dire prognosis but in your heart of hearts you know its true.
I actually hope for a famine here in the good ole USA to see if the old saw about revolution being 9 meals away is true.
Oh, so now we’re in the anger phase; next comes depression. Eventually, some of you will reach acceptance and finally be able to ask a very basic question: why is everything now out in the open?
Indeed, so why do they now no longer care? Hmm, let’s think, could it possibly be: overshoot, depletion and degradation? As in, there’s no way out, so why not party like a mofo on the way out?
After all, that’s what Russia is all about, to secure the last great stores to allow one more cycle of the credit money system. Nuclear war? Who cares if the entire basis of the western economy is destroyed anyway if Nato fails?
I gotta tell you, the key advantage of clarity is that everything now is in sharp focus. Voting, politics, policy? Waste of time, energy, effort.
Take the advice of the retired military poster – get yourself in a defensible position.
“Overshoot and depletion.”
LOL.
There is a sucker born every minute.
Suck a dick, CIA bro.
The proof-loving, ad-hominem hating Night Owl, ladies n gentlemen.
Your tone, Owl, has about as much class as mitchell’s when he brags about how much $ he makes and how smart he is.
Come think of it, you brag about the same things.
“Dime de que presumes, y te diré de que careces” my grandma used to say. Tell me what you brag about, and I’ll tell you what you’re lacking.
You seem to have found a niche here derailing conversations you don’t approve of using the tools of a high school’s bully. No intelligent arguments. Just petulance and bile.
Many of us would be interested about your take on Mr K’s reminder about hard physical, energy limits, which is, after all, the core of his thinking over many decades of intellectual work.
Tell us about the Dutch hydroponic towers that will feed the sparsely populated world. Using all that abundant, cheap energy available everywhere, ad aeternum. Go on. Or just insult me for not kowtowing to your superior knowledge of… everything.
Any hard evidence for your nutbar claim yet?
No?
Aw.
🙂
Any 12-year-old could come up with better than THAT, Night-Howler-Monkey. You’re letting yourself down, ‘bro’!
Perhaps you’re just ‘making up’ for the miserable time you had through your school-years? Or, probably, just continuing to be ‘That Guy’ from high school, the actual bullying arsehole.
“I hate you so much, Night Howler Moooonkeeeey!”
Nah. You make me laugh and cringe on behalf of your poor sainted mum.
This fills me with joy.
The only “defensible” position is billions of dollars, a yacht, and an undisclosed bunker
Everything else is for the taking, and it’s being taken by the kleptoclassians.
The rest of you need to understand that there is no coming back, and no coming back to a never-was.
It’s game over.
You lost your country, or better yet, someone else has won it.
The country as it is now, yes, is lost. I totally agree. The country of tomorrow is not, however. Once all the flotsam and jetsam are gone.
“The party doth protest too much, methinks.” – Hamlet by Edward de Vere
Well, if you don’t fix something, it just stays broken. So I had this election figured out for some time now.
The PTB do not give a crap who “wins” elections anywhere in the world these days. We need no further proof other than Mitch McConnell’s wretched behavior as he disbursed funds to losers and withheld them from “winners.”
So, whereto from here? Please stop paying taxes. There’s no better example of chumpitude than paying taxes to support Leviathan.
JT, I agree with the first part. But I’ll keep paying taxes. It’s hard enough to be left alone to toy with disaster by taking on powerful enemies.
Leviathan will be a dead, beached whale at some point. Then, I’ll probably have to pay higher taxes to its replacement, maybe some local warlord or politico.
And so it goes, as Vonnegut would say.
Death and taxes: can’t avoid either.
Another great article today James – thank you!
Can’t argue with any of it, really.
My view for some time has been that we are in the midst of an impending collapse of western civilization, and there is no stopping it.
Voting doesn’t save you. Republicans won’t save you. Elon Musk owning Twitter sure as hell won’t save you.
All we have the power to do is resist to the best of our ability.
That is all.
Yep, and all any of us can really do at this point is sit back and enjoy the decline. Prepare as much as you can and make yourself as comfortable as possible. This sure ain’t gonna be a gentle ride into the old night.
Resist? By voting where the elections may be more or less fair at the local level and state level? Like Idaho?
Oh Mary!
Shut up, drunk.
I win again.
You never have won, and you never will win.
Sorry, narc.
If you can’t come out and fight when the bell rings, I win by default.
Shut up, incel.
Too lazy to vote? Too lazy to care? Or just trying to maintain a foolish consistency…..
Why are they stealing the election so openly and blatantly?
It is just one more example of them breaking ethics and laws openly and blatantly, an in-your-face provocation that teaches you that you are helpless to do anything to stop them.
This is deliberate.
Just like they enjoyed holding publicly photographed parties at the height of lock down, all the while not wearing masks or practicing “safe social distancing”. There are no longer any hard and fast rules we need to abide by. The PTB has shown us that anything goes, and we should not give a shit about any further edicts or mandates they throw our way.
Evil old bitch from the pits of Hades Kathy “Cuomo” Hochul enjoys having her grotesque mug photographed with small children with their faces in bondage and their breathing restricted.
What a deranged psycho child molester animalistic piece of garbage.
agree, she is a nightmare monster.
The other explanation is that they’re desperate and we’re about to win!
I think yours is a lot closer.
They are desperate but we can’t win if we don’t fight. As we all just saw, none of our electeds even acknowledge the battle. We have to go to plan B, and we don’t have a plan B.
Well said. We won in many places – even in blue states. Keep the pressure on to reform elections. The Eye is upon them now. Don’t give way to despair, as so many here (even Walter, alas) are doing.
Yeah and as said above, screw them with real ballots held back to the last minute. Their game is to vote last with fake ones – so fight back but with the truth.
None? I don’t think you’re right there.
So, the solution is to NOT vote anymore and just vent on the internet? Hey conservatives, look at why the margins are so tight due to your policy points and are driving the Young into the arms of Neo-Marxist Progressives and you can figure out why the same progressive politicians are tempted to cheat to push them over the edge to victory.
Double down on Abortion Abolition and Gold Bug balanced budget fanaticism and the Democrats won’t need to cheat in 2024.
What you ought to be skeptical of is believing a miracle for investigative journalism to get to the bottom of whatever ballot harvesting ever or actually took place’
There is a lot you can do besides vent on the internet. Show up at townhalls or school board meetings. Show up at rallies or meetings in your area. Build your community. Refuse to be jabbed or masked.
Yeah! “Release the Karens!”
You sound like the rabid trans who were fondling their own moobs at a rally in NYC today against women speaking out for their rights and the protections of children.
Vile and disgusting.
Karens, AKA, agents of Pootin.
RL’s salad days on CFN.
@MQ
Is that the same one where they were threatening to beat up any women that dared to talk back to the two ranting hideous men pretending to be women?
Paula, why are they letting them steal it?
Why are the repoodlecans not doing anything at all about the steal?
Here’s a hint: they threw the election. They tanked it. They sabotaged it.
Now why would repoodlecans do that?
Hmm, maybe something to do with some orange blowhard on the sidelines who makes everyone scared?
Maybe, just maybe, they need this gerontocracy to stay in the game a little longer
Why would you want to assume office when you can just sit on the sidelines and draw a salary without any accountability?
I would posit that elections really don’t matter anymore. That we have hitherto unannounced formally become part of the “new world order” or whatever name you want to give it, and Biden, or whoever replaces him as president, is just one of ten “presidents” of the economic zones into which the world has been divided. Every one of his executive orders has been the implementation of some points of the Kyoto protocols or the Paris climate accords or Agenda 2030.
Today’s column represents a distinct turning point for James’ previous, somewhat optimistic, outlook. The jig is up and the Western World is soon going to crash and burn.
There will be no prosecution of the gangsters who have stolen the last few elections. The treasonous evidence contained in Hunter Biden’s laptop will continue to be ignored. It will be as though President Joe Biden’s criminal activity never existed.
There will be no day of reckoning for those who financed gain of function virus research and then released the deadly lab created COVID-19 pandemic on the world. The genocidal maniacs who mandated multiple injections of experimental mRNA gene modification drugs will go unpunished.
Yes, life as we have known it is rapidly coming to an end.
Prospero
That was AMAZING – you managed to very succinctly summarise the whole Conspiracy Universe – almost. You forgot to mention the baby-eating Democrats etc. Care to expand?
Shouldn’t that be baby-aborting?
Ah! So THAT’S where they get the babies!
He left out the Manchurian Candidate.
Regale us again, Shire Bro.
I heard a good one the other day.
My lifelong Democrat voting co-worker told me Trump is a Commie.
I asked him how he came up with that and or who told him that and he mumbled something about Trump tower in Moscow.
Maybe RL can translate idiot for us because I sure couldn’t follow his reasoning.
Considering he has voted Democrat for the last forty years I asked him if he even knew what a Communist was.
His answer Trump.
So, I asked him what he thought about the BLM founders self-avowed Comunists and how their actions and beliefs mirrored Trumps.
He walked away and said we should not talk politics at work.
And you’re surprised why?
…and as if by magic, the Fed floats out Lael Brainard to make some dovish remarks that float the S&P 500 back over 4000.
It’s all pro wrestling.
The GOPe are the most epic bunch of jobbers in history.
Further proof that Piglosi likely orchestrated the attack on her husband, all in a sick attempt to game the system and claim that the Republican reaction to it caused swing voters to vote democrat. Where is the video proof of the event from her home security cam? This is all such a bunch a lies from her and her cohorts.
“Some Americans may have voted for Democrats to hold on to at least one chamber of Congress simply because of the growing ugliness of the conservative political movement, Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested on Sunday.”
“Reacting to a historic performance by her party in Tuesday’s elections, which saw Democrats hold the Senate and position themselves for an expanded majority, Ms Pelosi noted that the Republican Party’s reaction to the attack on her husband had been met with a muted response from GOP leaders while their own members and supporters, like Virginia’s Glenn Youngkin and Donald Trump Jr, engaged in outright mockery.”
Instead of responding with grace or any semblance of concern for another person’s wellbeing, figures on the right took to spreading conspiracy theories and crass jokes about the attack. To this day, social media remains riddled with conspiratorial far-right nonsense seeking to explain away responsibility for the attack despite the espoused right-wing beliefs of the suspect, and Twitter CEO Elon Musk has even engaged in spreading the baseless lies.
According to the House speaker, that inability to show human emotion contributed to the GOP’s downfall this week.
“It wasn’t just the attack,” said the Speaker. “It was the Republican reaction to it which was disgraceful.”
She argued that GOP leaders feared the Trump-aligned wing of the Republican base so much that they even feared distancing themselves from the conspiracies and mockery that right-wing figures trafficked in after the attack.
“There’s nobody disassociating themselves from the horrible response that they gave to it,” she said on CNN’s State of the Union.
“Further proof that Piglosi likely orchestrated the attack on her husband,”
Two men caught nearly naked in a mansion, PP claims he knows but does not know the man, a window is broken from the inside out, and no security footage is released.
This was a homosexual romp, and they are covering it up.
“Attack.”
LOL.
Makes me wonder if Nasty Nancy like eating rugs?
Wonder if her and the Hildabeast had a romp now there is a horror movie to end all horror movies.
Given what we have seen thus far, nothing would surprise me.
Back in your favourite gutter I see -now with Wee Ben. Great company.
Gutter, I thought you were a love is love kind of guy.
I’m sure you have had you prison wallet filled on a regular basis.
Ask him if has ever been caught with another man in his underwear whilst holding a hammer in the pale moonlight.
@no
Are hammers some newfangled kind of kink?
You know what I don’t want to know.
Please don’t answer that RL you can keep your proclivities to yourself.
Yeah, that’s what I think, too.
“… the Woked-up Jacobin Party of Chaos is… afraid of information. Only a tyrannical regime would work so hard and complain so loudly about opposing ideas…”
Any form of independence outside the grasp of the Self-appointed Ones With Delusions of godhood is considered ‘bad’ and ‘divisive’… and in today’s twisted lingo… ‘Tear-Roar-Rist!’ Can’t have that when the Self-Appointed Ones know that the horse manure they peddle and stand for cannot withstand the blaring light of Truth.
It stinks to high heaven and so They are constantly adding sickly verbal perform to try to cover the god-awful stench that follows Them and Their ideas around like a deranged skunk that’s been prowling for too many hours in the town’s garbage dump.
When you control ‘Information’ you control People. You control them by their thinking and the coercive tyranny of unrelenting pressurized Garbage that spews from these faux gods like sewage from a vigorously flowing sewer pipe filled with freshly-minted muck.
“The stalling of election results also allows for wholesale correction of results that don’t come in as desired.”
They are wasting time with this. Just install the prior AI into the black-box voting machine software so that you get 114% of the votes right away and dispense with all the phony drama.
“The post-election mood across America is labile and incendiary.”
It should be. It was incendiary and explosive before the ‘Election’ even happened. The latest phony exercise in sham democracy just added a few more logs to the fire.
“Inflation is for-real and crushes the country’s standard-of-living. Before long, it may shift into deflation, which means instead of having a lot of money losing value, you’ll have no money at all.”
The Government has been empty of money for years now (seen the Deficit, lately?). And They are doing quite well these days. So all We the People have to do is just do everything the Gov is doing… obesely overspend with no intentions of ever repaying. ‘What’s good for the goose is…’, you know.
“For a hundred years we’ve been an economy running on fossil fuels… it made for an orgy of suburban expansion and ‘consumerism’.”
It’s beginning to look like hitting that very first oil strike was a mistake. We should have never found the stuff and instead developed a society that could grow without the false sugar-high-hit of oil to our cultural veins that provided for a couple generations of societal party orgy. We are now in the detox stage and it hurts like hell.
What we should have done is to develop a technology that can run on burning the thick sewage that flows from the mouths of those who are pulling all the strings these days.
Hear, hear, Shaman…
Withdrawal symptoms when the sugar high of oil becomes scarce will be awful. Plan accordingly. “Collapse now and avoid the rush,” as Archdruid Greer recommends.
This Satanic System offered modern women the apple of no fault “take him to the cleaners” divorce and they did fall with a vengeance.
Men got the wormy side of the apple – the right to “date”, have coitus, and even “marry” them. The smart money, the Mitches, focus on the second option in isolation from the other two.
Have no doubt: Women want to get married. They just don’t want to be married, to be wives in other words.
Jarek,
Your statement resonates. It might be better to rent than to own….
Definitely don’t hand rings to women that cannot be trusted to accomplish their role in a union.
Aaron Clarey has a live in girlfriend whom he charges rent. That offers legal protection in his state against charges that she is his common law wife and as such deserves most of his stuff.
Not sure why you whine so much about women.
It’s not as if you’ll ever have one in your life.
Jarek does not want you.
His statement is noteworthy. I didnt know about that situation [common law lawsuit].
Ew.
I’m guessing you don’t have a good narcissist detector.
That’s OK, they dupe most people.
Does Mary want my stuff?
Well at least we now understand why Jarek can’t leave me alone here in the comments section.
Sorry to bust up your little circle jerk/fantasy combo, malthuss & little J, but there are no women interested in you. Probably never were.
“Does Mary want my stuff…”
Jarek,
Well, what we know of you is that you ride the bus and sometimes carry a back pack.
If you want the honey, you gotta have money.
That’s about it.
There is one glimmer of hope that I can see – looking at The Big Picture now – our government in America is part of the larger group of polities, what is called today “The West”.
The West is the source of what we’ve been talking about on this page. And the West has been coalesced around something called the World Economic Forum, which advocates a unipolar world system, achieved through their Great Re-set.
It all seemed awfully bleak to me – these guys seemed to have everything “in hand”. They certainly were acting awfully smug. But then, just when Sauron thought that he had everything under control, guess what?!
Russia. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. The Ukraine. BRICS+. And that plus now will include Saudi Arabia. Whoa! And what does Putin keep repeating? The need for a multi-polar world system. That my friends is our hope.
Support for Putin has to be qualified, in my opinion.
edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/russia-supports-creation-of-gates
‘Russia supports creation of Gates-Rockefeller “Pandemic Fund”‘
‘Moscow reaffirms fealty to WHO at G20 summit, calls for “global sanitary shield”.’
They are up there with the rest – everything else is just an internal squabble and some theatre.
As Toktomi is wont to say, I may of course be wrong.
Alba,
“Support for Putin has to be qualified, in my opinion.” – I agree. As much as I’d like to see Putin as a “good guy” to check the global abuses of the “bad guys”… Putin has a complicated history. Journalists assassinated. Dissenters jailed. And then there are all those old FSB shenanigans he managed, if you remember: bombs on subsidized blocks of flats, killing many, during the Chechen conflicts, blamed on the Chechens, but likely executed by Russia itself.
He is very intelligent, however, and knows history, philosophy; he also seems to genuinely love his country, and can explain why. Machiavelli too, but does the end justify the means? Was Machiavelli a “good guy” in our simplistic understanding of the term?
And don’t get me started on China. A surveillance, social credit, censorship, consumeristic, conformist, virus hyping dictatorship as another “good guy” fighting for the common man? Please…
No good guys at the top level. Just cold, soul-less vipers.
@ GreenAlba:
I am so pleased to see someone use the word “wont” correctly and spell it correctly!
Watch the sly, smug bastard in this video. Schumer is explaining the three reasons why Dems avoided the ‘red wave’:
Summary of reasons:
(1) We cheated
(2) Ballot counts were fixed
(3) We attacked Paul Pelosi.
www(dot)msn(dot)com/en-us/news/politics/schumer-explains-three-reasons-dems-avoided-red-wave/vi-AA146mYi
The quote from MartyrMade is spot on.
The dominant force in our society today is a political party that does not believe in the principles of individual rights and government by the people that our constitution is supposed to guarantee.
This does not bode well for the future.
Crap. As is often the case, JHK Admin seems adept at finding pithy quotes that can easily be read from the opposite perspective and hold more truth than even he intended. This is yet another example and a good one. While the Election Denying Lunatics are complaining about how LONG it’s taking to do the count ‘right’ – that is, within the strictures of the law (local usually) – you grifters see that process as being a charade. FFS…! It takes time to do the job properly so it only needs to be done once. However, The Kari Lake Phenomenon will apparently be suing EVERYONE (maybe even Mike Pillow) if she doesn’t get her “win”. It’s just pathetic.
Funny how ‘faulty cameras’ or ‘waters leaks’ always benefit one particular side though, isn’t it?
Whatever, Slugoon. I’m surprised you make a statement like that when there’s no evidence that it ‘helps’ either ‘side’.
You know exactly who it helps when whichever ‘coincidental problem’ is resolved. Mountains of mail-in ballots that always push the count in a certain direction. Once might be a coincidence, but…
Cardboard, pipe-breaks, suitcases, camera malfunctions.
To quote RL’s neocon hero, Shrub, “Fool me once — can’t get fooled again!”
A solution is an audit and hand recount — in public.
Something they will never allow, which is why they have rigged both the elections and the courts.
No one can ever be allowed to even hear the evidence, you see. That would endanger our democracy.
Cyber Ninjas’ result – a higher vote count for President Biden. Carry on.
Amazing they found even more fake ballots.
Trump wants to do what Desantis and Florida did.
Same day voting, voter ID and paper ballots.
A once purple state went almost all Republican red which seems like a canard as red is the communist color and should be worn by Democrats almost like the Yellow star was worn by JOOS in Germany.
No one understands your Shareblue talk, Nut.
Interesting that someone from another country has seamlessly adopted the latest 180 narrative from the Dems.
“It has always taken a long time to count votes” he asserts, even though it never did before in the USA and it doesn’t in other countries.
That is right up there with “Vaccines have never provided immunity to the recipient”, although vaccines were always understood to protect against the disease being targeted and the previous claim was “We eradicated smallpox so take the jab to eradicate covid”.
And, of course, “We have always been at war with Oceania”. Redneck would fit right in with the dumbass proles who fell for that line also.
Yeah he loves telling us Americans what America does or doesn’t do, how it is and was, etc., all without ever living here.
A true dumbfuck.
I once thought that the thing that held America together was “the prayers of Christians.” A nice thought. Sincere at the time. Now I am not so sure of anything.
“The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.” – YEATS, THE 2nd COMING
Amman: “I once thought that the thing that held America together was “‘the prayers of Christians.’… Now I am not so sure…”
Only one thing holds ‘America’ together. The belief IN ‘an America’ (a state of being as such).
What is included in such a Belief? A belief that America is an idea (and an ideal) that is valuable and worth preserving. An idea that America is a special way of Life (and a way TO live) that embodies timeless values of elevating The People to a prominent position of power in the governance structure and institutionalizing freedoms of the People FROM government interference and erasure.
All of these ideas have been abandoned in an ongoing process of erosion, loss of such Beliefs, demonizing the idea of ‘America’ as being now somehow bad… in other words… total and complete internal rot. America used to fear foreign powers would some day threaten the American Way of Life. Instead, we should have paid attention to the internal rot within that still goes on to this moment cheered on by the Dark Powers both inside and outside who benefit from the destruction of a precious Ideal.
‘America’ as such an ideal will come back some day, some where. It may not even be on this Planet if the Globalist rot is fully successful in poisoning society on this Earth. But it will come back because built into the fabric of Life is ‘To be free’ in all the various ways one can manifest this. And where ever and whenever this new ‘America’ emerges… let’s hope that the inhabitants of that world do a far better job of preserving such a gem that we did on this wayward Earth.
Resistance is forever. It is after all a huge country.
Well, when the US was a Christian country and had a legal and moral system that was based on Judeo-Christian tenets, we were a united country. We aren’t anymore because the US isn’t a Christian country anymore. It’s now a quasi-pagan country that has Christian elements in it, but its government is anti-Christian and anti-God. Hell, Joe Biden couldn’t even bring himself to say the word God in the declaration of independence. Don’t think that was just a mental fumble.
tuco22: “…when the US was a Christian country and had a legal and moral system that was based on Judeo-Christian tenets, we were a united country… US isn’t a Christian country anymore. It’s now a quasi-pagan country…”
USA can once again be a ‘united’ country! All we have to do is unite around NOT being Christian and embrace rampant Paganism! Thus is the Dark Gospel of the Dark State Vulture-Perverse-As-Hell-Class.
Hey… sin has always been popular all throughout history. Probably the most popular thing in the World. And USA has been called ‘The Indispensable Nation!’. So there’s the pathway: The Indispensable Nation can united itself upon being ‘The Indispensably Sinful and godless!’.
“Joe Biden couldn’t even bring himself to say the word God in the declaration of independence.”
The Dark State – which Resident Biden is in full service of – has declared itself deity over all things in Heaven and Earth. Therefore, the Dark Ones do not tolerate anything else being deified. Dark State has declared: ‘Thou Shalt Have NO other gods before WE!’…
Let quit dancing around the issue. Democracy is DEAD. We now are living under an authoritarian system with strong totalitarian tendencies. Welcome to the New World Order.
It’s a transition. A growing storm and far from being an “order.” Like every storm, it will end. The US will renew itself and Life will go on in a different way. I suggest you play scared, hunker down and choose a last stand somewhere for your permanent advantage.
We’ll be hunkering down in the trailer park, make our last stand at the propane grill, barbecuing ribs.
Never tried Squirrel or Elk ribs.
Quintus said, “People should know when they are conquered”
And people should know when they’re subjugated.
The fact that they don’t know only reveals how much has been taken from them for so long. They don’t even recognize what they don’t have.
I agree with that completely. Look at the youth. They are truly suckered.
Welcome to the Lootocracy you fools!
The greatest shit-show on Earth!
What isn’t nailed down is going to be swindled. Including your rights.
In the big top we have Elections being looted and stolen by way of mail-in voting! You see, when your party rests on an unmotivated and lazy constituency that doesn’t like to vote, no matter how much you stir them up with cops killings and riots and civil disobedience, when busses and car pools and Soros checks can’t get them to vote for your old white ass, you just gotta bring the vote to them. You gotta get them to toss it in the mail. It’s the only damn way.
Over in the sideshow tent we have the treasury printing away!
Over in Clown Alley you can read the IG of the DOL report that reveals between $80 to $400 billion, yes 400 billion $ (way to nail down that range down BTW) was looted via COVID unemployment relief.
Remember kids, if you’re not getting rich, you’re just not trying!
VIP’s can make their way down to the G-Top where blatant Ponzi schemes and crypto NFT hustles are laundering undeclared war aid as campaign contributions and nothing happens, and Jim Cramer still has a job.
But the entertainment doesn’t stop there as the encore performance involves your rights and freedoms being pilfered.
Now there are some of you who just can’t seem to see through the entertainment. Y’all just don’t have the mental clarity or acuity needed to see through all the distractions. Nobody is going to fix this flaming three ring. Go lick a poison toad, go take some shrooms, go do something to enhance your ability to see what’s really going down.
Whining away every week believing that if some asshat in Nevada or Arizona wins we’ll be back on the road to normalcy that never even existed.
Bless your hearts, and have a balloon. It might not pop, but it’s going to lose air
This is very spot on.
Well said. I feel like a failure because I didn’t get in on the great COVID swindle. All those billions, and I got nothing.
I’ll get the next one.
The billions didn’t actually go for unemployment, obviously. Not at $2,000 apiece to the plebes.
That money went to the wealthy. There were something like 90 new billionaires created via covid handouts, and a lot of them were Pharma billionaires.
Amman and BRH…I catch your drift. Choosing my last stand here, biggest news of the day for me was that WW now declares its popcorn has “0 points”. I can eat as much as I want and never get fat again!
Listen, the only thing we chumps can do is be steady and certain in our thoughts, reasonings, and conclusions.
The elections were stolen.
This is why the Democrats repeated and repeated again their vilification and prosecution of “election deniers”. They were vilified and threatened from the outset, and nary a peep as the so-called counts stretch into a second week.
Mail-in voting has nothing to do with voter equity or disenfranchisement. It has to do with an excuse to ballot harvest and dump.
COVID was created in a U.S. funded lab.
To usher in mail in voting, defeat trump, normalize mRNA gene therapy, and hasten the arrival of the technocratic globalist reset.
Trans-rights have nothing to do with trannies and everything to do with trans-humanist agenda and the weakening of parental education control and insight.
The war in Ukraine has nothing to do with Ukrainians and everything to do with consolidating power for the coming global superstate
Yep – you confirm it. You people are full-on fucking crazy.
When do you think you will personally transcend into a hybrid silicon lifeform as the representatives of your movement (Klaus and Yuval) claim?
Will you be blasting off to another planet, leaving us behind?
Inquiring minds want to know.
‘Listen, the only thing we chumps can do is be steady and certain in our thoughts, reasonings, and conclusions.’
That attitude has been the problem all along, the almost cowardly lack of will to fight.
Nobody wants to physically be on the front lines so to speak. We’re already in at least a semi-totalitarian situation and putting out the same old list of Democratic misdeeds will do nothing to change that.
With physical inaction things will only continue to get worse. It seems that nobody wants to face the reality, the reality of what needs to be done to stop the ‘radical transformation of America’.
You first.
Try not to get Ray Epps’d
Damn right I’m first but being afraid of operatives like Ray Epps is exactly what they want.
You’re finished to begin with.
Get off from your high horse . You ain’t doing shit but whining away like everyone else here.
Face it! It’s not a place with people worth saving. Go take a tour of the US of A
It’s gone
No, I won’t, I like to ride ‘tall in the saddle’.
All correct, IMO.
With the exception of Covid. Prove it exists. No one can, so why would you believe the origin story?
All true. We just call it by different names.
Tulsi Gabbard subbing for Tucker:
Blah, blah, blah………’We’ve got to secure the border once and for all’.
Oh, okay.
Tucsonspur…have you and JAZ ever met face-to-face? If not, you should…you can’t be that far apart, politically or geographically. Maricopa Co. is a stitch, the laughingstock of Amerika.
Meanwhile, I’ve changed my mind and officially designate myself a white supremacist. It’s not that I never make misteaks. After all, I’m only humen.
You are a slime mold, tom. Admit it: You think the Maricopa election is totally legit. That makes you less than human.
Hey Tom, no we never met. I’m in Pima, he’s in Maricopa, hundred miles or so. John’s a good man. I think.
It’s said that we will have a white minority by around 2045, so being a white supremacist rings truer now rather than later. Of course, you could be the last white man on Earth and still be a white supremacist, before they cut your throat.
Well, I guess the yokes on you!
Yeah, TS and I have exchanged views for quite a while. He is a good man as well, I think.
We have both observed what California can do to surrounding states. The people leaving California are not Red!!!
Watch out Idaho, and hold on Mormons, they are coming your way next.
And for all you self appointed White Supremacists, they are White for the most part.
Lots of Californians here can’t take the winter and go back home. But not enough of them.
We’ll (whites) make our last stand in Wall, SD. You know the place.
Amerika…brace yourselves…tomorrow is the “big announcement” (wink, wink).
Jerek…I may be a slimemold, but you are a sucker.
He’s just your run of the mill narcissist and as such, very boring after awhile. A broken record. Blah blah blarffffff.
Limber up folks, it’s time to help JHK move the goal posts again.
So you think the election is fine, slime?
Unless there is evidence that can prove (in court) the existence of enough election fraud to swing an election in any one way, I’m going to assume the election is legit. I’m not an armchair election auditor, so I’ll have to take it from the experts.
You’re not ‘an armchair election auditor’ Weepstate, and I’m pleased to hear it. There’s a huge surplus of that particular breed of CTNJ already, many of them CFN denizens.
We know the truth drives you crazy.
Excuse me crazier.
Is the age of humans over, as your guru claims, Rednut?
Sounds like the orcs are coming for reelz.
It’s become utterly tiresome…this “the election was rigged!!! *outrage!*” just dribbles on and on, without a skerrick of evidence. What’s with you wankers? Give it a rest!
The contradictions are too numerous to count and call out, but given that you all (EDers) seem to think that the Dems are so evil & pernicious and stealing your rights etc, how come they’re also clearly really INCOMPETENT at rigging the elections? For example:
“Why Did Mail-in Ballots in Georgia
Plunge by One Million?
State’s New Law forced Runoff in Senate Race
Absentee ballots plunged from a total of 1.28 million in November 2020 to a little over 240,000 in last week’s General Election in Georgia.
Given that mail-in ballots in Georgia favor Democrats two-to-one, it is reasonable to conclude this breathtaking 81% drop of over one million mail-in votes likely cost Sen. Raphael Warnock an outright victory. Georgia law requires a candidate to win by 50% of the vote plus one.”
Oh, no doubt, they ‘lost’ 15 suitcases full of fake ballots or something. I’m curious to know how this fits in with the ongoing whining narrative of you all.
Let me explain it to you.
No one cares what you think about American politics.
You don’t live here, you have zero skin in the game, and it really only affects you if the idiot in charge decides to start lobbing bombs.
Or decides nope Australia or New Zealand is not worth protecting.
That event might actually happen in the next two years since they installed a pathetic old man that literally shits himself if he gets pissed off.
With that said you have zero clue what is ACTUALLY happening here! You only know what you read on very partisan PROPAGANDA OUTLETS that push a very massaged points of view.
That point of view only enables one party!
The Democrat party which is the modern equivalent of a country wide Tammany Hall. Too bad the new boss tweed is an imbecile with bad hair plugs, too much plastic surgery, fake capped teeth and a brain injury and dementia.
How long can the fourth rail manage to lie and keep people distracted away from the obvious fact the top three people in Government have zero business holding those positions?
So, take your pithy comments and piss off.
Warnok according to a co-worker is a complete joke and this is coming from someone that actually voted for the useless bag of hair.
Hear, hear!!
Hahaha..! Wee ben, you explaining anything is rich comedy indeed.
I can use smaller words if you can’t connect the dots.
STFU about American politics you are clueless at best.
Still on the same old non-arguments, huh? Your brain taxed too much? I reckon…
This from the guy that never actually says anything of use or value.
I have asked you on several occasions to expand on your thoughts and you never have.
This would lead me to the logical conclusion you really don’t have any.
Another empty-headed progressive who barely tries to add to the conversation.
Are you too stupid to get my points, or do you simply see my handle and just write the same old diatribe? Yep, that’ll be it.
@rl
Speaking on same old shit.
Give us something new and you might get a different response.
I can’t help that you are stuck on stupid.
“this “the election was rigged!!! *outrage!*” just dribbles on and on […]”
Don’t ever try to teach a creative writing class, will you? Outrage – or rather *outrage!* – doesn’t ‘dribble’. I mean, if it dribbled, it wouldn’t really be *outrage!*, would it?
You’re welcome. 🙂
It’s quite entertaining to me Fake Trae thinks he’s so good at the grammar & spelling that he should be correcting everyone else, while he himself makes massive mistakes.
Sorta like QShtik.
Woo! I gave you a whooping once, quite some time ago, and you still seethe over it. Interesting.
You mean the meltdown you had over an apostrophe typo?
You ended up being completely humiliated on that thread, if memory serves.
Your memory is very creative.
He is pretty well humiliated every thread.
Well, GA, it’s down to a dribble now, out in the real world at least.
Here, in CLusterFuckNationland, it’s the same old *OUTRAGE!!!* from the same old tired conspiracy-theory hacks.
I’ll take your remark as a lesson in English (thank you :)) and not as an indication that you’ve jumped on THAT particular Clown Car Conspiracy too. Feel free to confirm or deny.
I don’t comment on most of what is said on specifically American politics as I’m not there and I know the Americans on here know much more about it. What could I possibly contribute?
There are two classes of people who talk a lot about conspiracy theories.
(1) People who don’t know what goes on in the world.
(2) People who know what goes on and are complicit in the conspiracies.
I don’t take that much interest in the detail of US elections, but I know that their voting system is the least robust in the western world, and that to believe that an election couldn’t be rigged you’d need to have your head on backwards.
Have you watched the Spanish documentary yet?

I’m interested to know where you disagree with Professor Campra of the University of Almeria.
If you have the guts to watch it there’s a bit where a French guy is talking about Bill Gates. He refers to him as ‘ce type’, which just means ‘this guy’, but the slightly erroneous subtitle says ‘these people’. I mention it because it’s important that he’s referring to Gates specifically, not a bunch of people.
Your explanation of the MAC codes would be appreciated too.
You omitted the third class:
(3) People who believe in conspiracy theories and won’t be convinced otherwise whatever the evidence,
Actually, there’s a fourth group, which is much smaller (and of which I claim membership):
(4) People who used to believe in conspiracy theories but got out of the rabbit hole and can now see it for the crazy bullshit it is,
I did take the trouble to check if Ron Johnson kept his seat, which I am pleased to note that he did.
You didn’t tell us what your specific gripes were about the two Senate hearings he held earlier in the year. Not your gripes about him holding them, but the specific points on which you felt able to disagree with the lawyers, scientists, doctors, victims, and doctor-victims of the jabs.
I look forward to your debunking of Professor Campra’s ‘conspiracy theories’.
And those of all the other doctors and scientists in the documentary.
Also, you presumably have an explanation for the massive number of excess deaths currently being experienced in the highly ‘vaccinated’ countries of the world. The conspirators have been trying to blame covid for the extra heart attacks, but Australia has proven a foil to their disingenuous lies. They only had a relatively small number of people recorded as having had covid, but their excess heart attack deaths are proportionate compared to other vaxxed countries.
Re: Prof Campra
Unsurprisingly, GA, no, I haven’t watched the video yet. I went to the source
researchgate.net/publication/355979001_DETECTION
rather than a site entitled “odysee” by a propagandist self-styled as “@thebigreset”.
I read the extract closely and determined that I have no fecking idea of what the science means. Perhaps you have a better sense of what RAMAN Spectroscopy is? I don’t and the snippet below tells me only that it looks at very, very small things (it might even be able to locate Night-Howler-Monkey’s sense of humility):
“What is Raman Spectroscopy?
When electromagnetic energy interacts with a material, it can either be reflected, absorbed, transmitted, or scattered. One type of scattering is Raman scattering and is the basis for Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy is useful as the Raman scattered light yields data of the vibrational modes of the sample molecules. A Raman spectrum thus enables the identification of molecules and their functional groups, similar to IR spectroscopy, but with visible range light.
So, this professor has claimed that his research has discovered that there are, apparently, undisclosed ingredients (“excipients” in the scientific parlance, I gather). So, he clearly has a case against *someone* in the UK:
From gov.uk/government/publications:
“…a company would be in breach of regulations if they were to include a ‘hidden’ excipient. In addition, Official Medicines Control Laboratory (OMCL) batch release is a legal requirement for vaccines and blood products. This is independent testing for every batch that is intended to be marketed.”
No doubt, the underlying issue here is EITHER:
(a) the OMCL didn’t ‘find’ the graphene oxide; or
(b) it did and of course, it’s lying.
Aside from the remaining question as to what Prof, Campra actually found, and assuming it IS in the vaccines, what is its purpose? No doubt, it’s an evil plot by The Powers That Be to poison us all so rich people can stay rich? Wow. Is that it?
Odysee is a platform where material may be viewed uncensored. Perhaps you prefer censorship? Your government certainly does – it aspires to be ‘your single source of truth’. Kinda Orwellian, don’t you think? Kinda ‘propagandist’, you might say.
Anyway, it strikes me your word salad could have been avoided by just watching the documentary and answering the question.
I don’t know what your gripe is with the title ‘The Big Reset’, which they possibly chose because there are thousands of online references to the event, currently under way, referred to as the Great Reset, so calling it Big makes it easier to find.
The former Prince Charles announced the Great Reset and its vital necessity himself when he was at Davos. The clip is easily found. Is Charles a conspiracy theorist too?
youtube.com/watch?v=zxgCOE2sDPo
Charles’ website is shown in the clip. He is the architect of the Great Reset. It’s his project. So, I repeat, is he a conspiracy theorist? If not, what is your objection to the title of the documentary?
BTW, Professor Campra isn’t the only scientist working on the ‘vaccine’ contents. There are about 26 teams of scientists around the world engaged in the same research. Micro-raman spectroscopy identifies the nature of the molecules. The pictures (such as Professor Campra’s and Dr Dixon’s in Austalia) are taken with microscopes, using around x800 magnification.
But I do love your belief that if a government-controlled body says something isn’t there, then it can’t be there. Because we all know that governments are the last people in the world to lie, historically.
I do find your gullibility quite amazing.
NPC says what?
Tucson…I agree, JAZ seems like a very decent human being, eventhough I often disagree with him politically. But that’s life…that’s what makes the world go round. What to leave in, what to leave out. We get that one answered and all the world’s problems will be solved.
Jimbo has my clearance to move the goalposts on his blog again, for what it’s worth.
Who are you, tom?
Sigh, another Monday, another deranged missive from our deranged host. “Dynamic” Kari Lake….what a howler Jimmy. Appears that JHK has added more madness to his flock w the likes of Prospero and some clueless retard that goes by “Montanaman.” We’ve got the usual misogyny, the covid(masks! Vaccines!) etc. I appreciate you tough folk that went maskless to show the world just how much of an asshole you are.
Clueless does not even begin to describe you.
Odd how when it looked like Democrats were not going to cheat to win you were absent.
Where were you getting new talking points and sucking down a few to many crisp chardonnays?
I suggest switching to gin a fifth a day should do you.
Your blithering idiot comments seem a bit angry as of late.
So, you’re a masochist, then? Why else would you be here?
I had to do a double take when reading the adjective “dynamic”. What is new, positive, and exciting about Kari Lake? I’m glad enough Arizona voters had the sense to avoid her anti-dynamism.
Can’t be any worse than the “elected” crook who was in charge of her own election to get elected.
Nothing shady going on there nothing to see here.
Conflict of interest lawsuits will be forth coming.
And then there’s apologist pete with the requisite god-talk.
Observations
States that change their voter laws to have more last minute voting turn Blue,
Kari. Not Red.
Wha’ happened? Reality happened. Not Fox Punditry happened. Not Gutfeld wish lists.
Reality, the USA is turning or has changed to Amerika.
Look at the Blue Red senate map. The encroachment of Californication into the West is obvious. The border infusion of socialism is obvious. Then look at the House blue red distribution map and be prepared to see the real picture. The cities run the country politically, the cities population outnumbers everyone else. And the Mob runs the cities including the cartels through the border.
The Blues own this country, regardless of a 2-3 red majority in the House. Fox News can pound on Biden all they want, while they are the power mechanism of the Blue mob just keeps on truckin’
Am I blind? Somebody please tell me about an escape plan from the nightmare. Something to feel positive about federally.
Arizona has turned from bright Red to bright Blue in the nineteen years I have lived here. Only bright spot from 2022 is of 7 Reps, 4 are Red. Barely!
And for the few that care on this blog, the non drug conservative approach to our Covid adventure is working well as we recover. So far so good.
And it is not just a cold, it is a flu type. I have had both much worse than this. That is assuming we do not have rebound or long term. No indication of either so far.
For all you experts on the blog who have not experienced the Crud, your opinion means nothing now. You might try listening for once.
I’m glad ya’ll are doing good John and that the non drug approach has been successful so far. Hopefully allowing the natural response to do its thing will be enough to keep you well.
I know you are experiencing a lot of changes but you know tis race is literally 50% Katie Hobbs vs 50% Kari Lake. I think there may be a recount but not totally sure. Clearly it was a poorly run election that is simply untrustworty on so many levels. And thousands of day of voters were disenfranchised when the machines didn’t work. So it doesn’t look clear cut but rather messy. Same thing national wise. Look at the new Red house seats in New York. And remember. Florida used to be Purple or Blue. Point being that trends are real but probably not a monolith. Things change. And fast sometimes.
Gope you stay healthy, JAZ.
Hope, Christ.
@ JohnAZ:
We’ve all had colds and flu. Most of us have had quite severe cases at one time or another.
“I got sick so all of your work and verification of the hoax for 2 years is invalid!”
That’s what it sounds like to me.
Piss off.
Just got a over a wicked case of bronchial pneumonia. It was rough as hell for a few days, but the antibiotics knocked it right out o0nce I got around to them (now to get better from the antibiotics!). But it wasn’t flu (no fever, no body aches, no sore throat past the first day), and it wasn’t Covid, and I’ve had similar at least a few times in the past, so it wasn’t really THAT big a deal, no matter how much I kvetched along the way. Luckily, I’m still working from home, so I could sleep liberally for the two weeks I had this crap and I wasn’t a risk to everyone around me at work – who are all masked up again.
Don’t know what you’re getting at by opinions don’t matter. I still think people are blowing all this out of proportion after the CovidHoax scare. Colds and flu can be a real bitch in their own right and I have NO CONFIDENCE that any of these vaxxes they’re pushing do anything whatsoever to alleviate that. As I’ve said before, I DO think they’ve successfully ramped up our hypochondria tendencies several notches with all this shit, though, so that’s where the real money is for big pharma. Now the sheep will be reaching for the masks and clamoring for booster shots at every little sniffle from here on out, regardless of anymore Covid-like scams that will be doubtlessly be coming as well.
None of these diseases exist anymore for the common man. It’s Covid or nothing! Brand loyalty.
LOL! There ya go!
The Arizona Legislature proposed 81 bills between Jan 2021 & recently, under the oversight of Doug Ducey (R) and STILL the sore loser Lake whines & moans like the little bitch she is.
azmirror.com/2022/09/26/new-laws-are-now-effect-here-are-some-of-the-most-controversial/
Speaking of being bitchy RL that post reeks of it.
Are you having issues again?
Feeling unloved?
Haha! Nah.
Yes, I got that feeling myself, that the majority of the population now thinks (and votes) democrat. Vote fraud only goes so far in explaining the abysmal results of this election for republicans. They just don’t reach a whole part of the population, partly because they let the democrats set the agenda. For instance, I didn’t hear any candidate of either party address black illiteracy in this country, or the general failing scores of kids in general in reading and math. They talk a lot about STEM, but if kids can’t read or do math, they won’t be going into STEM fields, will they? We have fallen so behind the rest of the developed world in science because of this, yet not one of the candidates ever brought this up.
Instead, it was all about: abortion, gay marriage, trans rights, abortion, gay marriage, trans rights, along with some fear of losing social security and medicare thrown in for good measure.
If they do, they blame us. As if we are responsible for the abysmal Black IQ and not nature.
Considering no one is purely just black or White anymore.
I suspect them blacks have plenty of European GENES BURIED in them.
When you speak of White do you really mean White and black?
When you speak on IQ take any white kid from anywhere and put them in the wilderness with enough food, water and shelter to survive and teach them basic English just how high would his IQ be at that point verses fully immersed in society and school.
Now add a modern cell phone. teevee, video game console and computer games and watch that IQ drop.
It’s not just purely race that defines someone’s intelligence some of that is culture and experience.
Ghetto culture makes fun of book learning and the desire to educate oneself and anyone deemed interested in such is made fun of and often beat up.
In my off time and when bored I used to read the dictionary and used words not normally familiar to those, I called friends they made fun of me, so I dumbed down my vocabulary.
Surfer speak does not use a lot of multi syllable words just saying.
Think Spicolli from fast times at Ridgemont high.
MQ…I think you got that right…Jarek is a narcissist. just like Donnie T. It took awhile to get thru to me but I’m learning slowly. I pride myself in being a Jesse Ventura Independent. I voted for a few republicans on my ballot this year, believe it or not. Not all republicans are bad people as some would think. Democrats align more w/ my values, but they have their limitations, and when republicans kick my crotch, they’ll get my vote. TC
Jerek has been around as long as I have. He changes his name about once a year.
How many covid shots have you gotten? And have you repented of this foolishness? All the regulars have repented except Tusc.
…which may well be more regularly than his socks & underpants. (Basement-dwelling incels – Unite!)
Smells like more of your projection.
Tom supports Ventura? This is quite an unexpected revelation, I must say.
What values would those be Tom?
Murdering babies, sexual deviation, cheating, lying, transgender agenda, child molesting, human trafficking, taxing the shit out of everyone, massive grifting, destroying their country?
What exactly are the values you ascribe to DEMOCRATS?
I see you are into S&M that would explain your values and Democrats but please do enlighten us.
Well tommy what are those values?
Has your low T finally got the best of you?
All aboard the Kunstler Crazy Train…
clown world is more like it.
You’re not Jim
Go back to whatever opium den you crawled out of because you have to be stoned and brain dead to believe the tripe you post on here.
@Jim, I think you need to ban this butthead.
Banning does no good they just create a new name and come right on back.
Riverunner has had at least five names already and redneck has had at least three.
Unless they are all the same sock playing games.
Will you ever KNOW, Wee Ben? Nah…
It’s a wild ride riverrunner. Did I miss the Durham Investigation stop? Sooner or later we’ll come out of this tunnel and see that Russia has been playing rope-a-dope with Ukraine this whole time. Just you wait.
JHK Admin recently resurrected the faintest possibility that “Durham may not be done yet”. Hope springs eternal…
Redneck: Durham is on the back burner, slowly cooking down into MAGA pap. I have a feeling we’ll be dining on this periodically at the CFN table.
Including you, apparently.
Are you a Black Sabbath fan? Or maybe even been a head-banger?
I’ve been aware of Mr. Kunstler’s publications going back to when “The Geography of Nowhere” was still in the new book category. I’d been interested in the issue of peak oil after listening to Art Bell interview a fellow named Matt Savinar. Savinar had a website called “Life After The Oil Crash” if I remember correctly. The very first person to introduce to the public the issue of peak oil was an oilfield geologist employed by Shell Oil Co. – named Hubbert. He was known for a bell shaped graph of oil production called “Hubbert’s Curve”. Anyhow, persons back in the day interested in peak oil might encounter links or references to Mr. Kunstler’s predicting the downfall of modern surburbia due to a future lack of enough fossil fuel resources to keep it going.
I discovered a long time ago that sharing or informing people about Kunstler’s ideas would annoy nearly everyone. Many people would secretly give you a ticket to board the Crazy Train and try and change the subject. They don’t wish to discuss or entertain such ideas or predictions. If you’ve invested most of your life into a suburban lifestyle you won’t take kindly to somebody coming up to you and telling you that your cars and homes will sometime soon only have scrap value. Sadly, it seems as though Mr Kunstlers predictions of our going medieval seem to be more and more possible.
Or do you think it’s gonna be nerd techno-utopia from this point on to forever? Or are you here secretly to enjoy some doom porn?
SAM BANKSTER FRIED
Bernie Madoff, Sam Bankman-Fried, Zelensky. What do they all have in common?
Soros. Gensler. Janet.
Ok. I just wasn’t ready to deal with this the other day because so much is going on. So are they making fun of us with this name? You know if that is the case i’m so tired of their sick games. What do you think is going to happen? Is he some sort of fall guy? Will he be punished or do you think he’ll escape justice or “justice”?
Fried bankster indeed. (He was a bit of a stimulant fiend, rumor has it.)
The best way forward is for the red states to stay strong and be bulwarks against the coming collapse. The Federal Government is beyond any meaningful reform. We’re all on our own and the cavalry ain’t coming to save you.
Yes, well, one day Jesus is going to arrive, but essentially it is a good idea not to count on the cavalry coming to the rescue on an everyday basis. I hesitate to arrive at any conclusion since the moment does seems so labile and just basically violatile but despite the haughty touts of victory and the gnashing of teeth defeatism it truly appears in reality to be an excruciating stalemate. It does seem like the collapse may feel then that it is invited in because of the inertia of the status quo?
Pray for Jesus to come. Red or blue does not matter. In 10 years gasoline will be 10 a gallon and everything goes to shit.
Our society is not capable of dealing with less of anything, so America is going down. I wish I had better news.
“Pray for Jesus to come…”
“JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL!”
…and fill up the tank, while you’re at it.
In ten years at 10 bucks a gallon you’ll pray like this while riding your 200 cc Honda motorcycle that gets 80 mpg:
“Jesus take the handlebars while I sit on the back for a while, I’m tired. And next station fill up the tank while you’re at it. 2 gallons will send us 150 more miles down the road. Lord, it will be a lot quicker and much more fun than the way you used to do it wearing sandals and a robe.”
“Give me a ride to heaven, boy…”
youtube.com/watch?v=BTIKDkIBWwg
Yes, I know the diagnosis is very grim, but I will continue to pray for the best and try to be as positive as possible. Not sure what more we can do within the moment
Parallel society. It is the only way.
The Great Reset ain’t gonna be stopped with votes in rigged elections, with politicians taking orders from the Schwabian cabal.
“So, Ukraine was a money laundering operation all along?
The West donated billions to the “war effort”
Zelenskyy invested that money into FTX
CEO of FTX is the 2nd biggest donor to the Democrats (after Soros).
FTX filed for bankruptcy.
Billions ? missing.”
https://twitter.com/calvinrobinson/status/1592031504875544577?cxt=HHwWgoCz9f-NhJgsAAAA
Said this months ago.
And all of it appears to have gone to Dem/RINO/WEF/Deep State clowns.
FTX a key WEF partner, now scrubbed.
LOL.
And no one has even yet mentioned who the FTX bro’s mother is and the Democrat superpac she founded.
🙂
Other than Fox I haven’t seen any reporting on the links between FTX & the DNC, Zelensky, the WEF etc.
And I don’t expect the Washington Post or the NYTs to be digging for details.
Isn’t that the election fraud organization Biden told us about?
Yes, I remember that remark. I saw the video. It wasn’t part of another remark and it wasn’t taken out of context.
And no one (in mainstream media) will.
Huh, it turns out the much hyped Rivian EV Truck — which is retailing at $81,000 per unit (basic model) is costing the company $244,000 per unit to manufacture.
It doesn’t pencil out, to say the least. I think within about two years this enormous EV grift (The EV Revolution!) will come crashing down, leaving millions of people carless, bankrupt, unemployed, and disappointed.
One of the promises we’ve been hearing for a few years now is “EVs will be getting cheaper as time goes on.” But just the opposite seems to be happening; prices are increasing as much as $8000 per quarter. For example, the Ford F-150 EV Lightening was initially billed as ‘Everyman’s Electric Truck’ at $40,000 — that was only a few years ago. Now the base models with no accessories carry a pricetag of $92,000. How are buyers financing these vehicles? 30 year mortgages? Long term auto loans payable until death?
It took me 45 years to consider purchasing a car worth over 40-50k at time of purchase.
The EV Lightning is a classic example of a red flag that any moderately discerning individual should be able to recognize.
A 92k truck, for the eco-conscious “working man.”
I would advise the chewers of cud to investigate further whether there is anything undesirable planned for the future.
LOL
BackRow, what the hell are you doing up at 4:54 in the morning?
He’s a construction worker type. Their eyes snap wide open at at first light – much like Vampires at sundown. Thus they can be considered reverse vampires.
After he does those chores, he’s ready to eat meat or bacon and eggs.
Krishna spoke of Lunar and Solar dynasties. See the Russian movies Night Force and Day Force.
Making coffee
Letting the dog out
Checking to see if the cars were stolen overnight or if any catalytic converters have been sawed off
Checking the trash cans — did any bears get at them?
That’s about it.
Plus, securing my overnight shotgun.
“BackRow, what the hell are you doing up at 4:54 in the morning?”
…Listening to the Beatles.
“Happiness is a warm gun”
…Got 28’s?
You know E., I think I’ll stick with my Charter Arms Target Bulldog. Not to take anything away from S&W, but I think if I were to buy another revolver it’d be the Kimber K6 DASA.
BRH,
Kimber is vastly overrated…and over priced. Bulldog is a good inexpensive revolver…owned several in the past. The target model I had was a .44.
A friend of mine who lives close by has a 1990 Mazda compact pickup truck he’s working on, and I being a retired old fart with time and tools available, I’ve been helping him a bit with his project. What’s interesting about his mini truck is he is doing a popular modifiction to this vehicle by installing a simple and inexpensive weber carburetor to replace the factory carb. Next is removing *all* of the emissions junk, computer sensors, and the computer itself.
The factory carb needs all the emission junk to run right, not so with the weber.
When he’s finished with this project, the engine compartment will look like a 60’s vehicle. There’s nothing much in there to break down and cause issues. He removed the ac as well. It’s a simple fact that the more complex a machine is the more likely it is to break down. And in a future with supply chain problems, there might be a *lot* of cars parked or even scrapped instead of being driven. This will happen because of that rats nest of crap under the hood containing components made of unobtainium. If you have a very simple basic machine with no computer and just a small handful of hoses and wires under the hood to deal with, you’ve got something very reliable that you can service in your driveway. Something practical instead of something loaded with and bogged down by electronic crapola. The EV industry is a sad joke.
It sounds more like he’s preparing for an EMP.
Side note to this insane world. Went to the care-giver for my yearly wellness check. The care giver had read my 6 year old sleep study and to their amazement, I wasn’t following their suggestions or in his opinion requirements for my living in this society. You know those masks that cost a fortune and disrupt your sleep. The thousands thrown in the dust bin.
Well the Sleep Nazi told me that it was his duty to report me to DMV because I’m a potential hazard on the roadway. This from the quacks pushing the clot shots for children.
Turns out they think they can tell us how to sleep.
@ Mike G:
You should probably find another doctor.
Get the hell away from that authoritarian nutter, he’s likely to put you into a database.
“Turns out they think they can tell us how to sleep”
Mike,
I think you should tell him what he wants to hear…you’re gonna get all your boosters, and volunteer for more. That you sleep like the dead and wear not only a mask, but a condom at all times. That you will vote Democrat…that you will vote early and often. That the people at the DMV are a great bunch of folks, and that you enjoy waiting in line. Tell him that you admire his almost Christ-like humanity and want to hear other health tips.
I got into that rut a few years back as well. Luckily, the CPAP push seems to have died down here a bit locally. I still have the apparatus and I even break it out from time to time (the humidified air is a relief sometimes during the winter). If the Docs ask I tell them I still use it, although for the most part I don’t. The sleep docs were so unreliable about refilling supplies and everything else that they eventually went out of business up here, so I think they finally gave up on the whole scam.
See the movie, They Live, We Sleep.
WHY
There is indeed something to be said for playing along, playing dead, playing alive, playing whatever nets you the least amount of aggro.
And, BTW, screws up the System’s database.
This is basically the “Good Soldier Schweik” gambit. If Schweik can be said to have had a gambit. Basically he preferred taking a nap to most other of life’s manifold activities.
It’s the spirit of the Czechs, when they still had spirit, of pointing all the street and highway signs in the wrong directions when the then Bad Wolf Russkis came to call in 1968.
Eff “the truth.” Only truth tellers deserve to hear the truth.
BTW, just heard of another local who died suddenly after “a brief [unspecified] illness.”
I did do my duty by telling the guy who told me this, “Probably the jab. People are keeling over all over the place for no good reason.”
Let him sort it out. He was a mask wearer/jabbee. I don’t think he knows my jab status, and i think i just won’t tell him.
As for real doctoring, let this guy down easy and then find someone else (if you can).
Haven’t heard any more about the little phony proof of vaccination slips they came up with. I wonder if those are still even a thing?
Hmm. You seem to have failed to mention the information that your ‘Sleep Nazi’ surely provided you regarding sleep apnoea and the deleterious effects it has on your heart. When you have your cardiac infarction tooling down some crowded I-highway and wiping out a family of four, maybe then you’ll get it? (Probably not. You’re clearly a whiner.)
Thousands for a CPAP machine, huh? Pity you don’t live in a society that has a socialist medical system where such things are funded for your health.
Doubt he was speaking about a resmed airsense 10 since those masks last at least 6 months.
I would suggest he was speaking towards the almost useless spit masks worn by nurses in Hospitals for some unknown reason.
We can now see plenty of idiots wandering around with them on for no obvious reason and worse they litter the landscape and city dumps the world over.
But you don’t know…again…
I sure don’t the post was rather scatter brained.
Since you speak idiot, I guess I will defer to your judgement at least on this one item.
Did the US$ test positive for covid?
Inflation is the equivalent of devaluation, correct?
Are things going to get a lot more expensive? How does this jive with FED yammering?
Are the manufacturers and wholesalers stocked-up on low cost foreign inventory? Will they be raising prices based on new costs, or having a fire sale to attract the last customer?
Is it time for the money to flow into commodities?
Time to buy storable food and a small propane heater with a bunch of tanks so people’s houses stay above zero this winter.
All brought to you buy a party of cheating miscreants.
Does anyone remember when Obama told everyone they might not be able to use air conditioning or heat their houses and it was then reported he kept the Whitehouse at 80 degrees?
The tanks are full and the county will not give me a permit to bury any more.
So no what? Bet on a sling-shot or phase transition for the general markets?
You can buy 5-gallon tanks from Costco.
About five years ago they were $19.99 I just looked, and they are $39.99 with no gas in them.
The gas was $1.99 two years ago and now its well over $3.99
Thanks, Joe Biden, for all that you have done to destroy everyone’s 401k’s and savings!
Perhaps Biden is sick because Xi told him that he was no longer in charge?
jibe
I see the Australian navy is playing games with the Chinese.
Do they really think Biden will come to their aid if China decides to flex its military muscle?
Australia you might want to pull back a bit from the edge.
,maybe China will forget about you and keep concentrating on taking over Africa instead.

I would suggest Australia also severely limit the number of Chinese allowed over on Visas and any other way they can slither in and start taking over.
Australia: The US’s little poodle down under.
Pretty sure this guy has been setting up Australia for a Chinese takeover since he left the PM position in 2015.

If Australia truly wishes to remain a free nation going forward she will develop and deploy her own nuclear arsenal.
COMMENT ABOVE:
I have food for a year IF I eat like Gandi.
[is that 500 calories a day? 500x 365 days].
Me, I have food for a year if I become a Breath airian and survive.
Some Jains choose to die by prolonged fast. Some last 50-70 days, if I recall.
The brain goes last, first someone fasting uses fat, then muscle, then brain. I think.
Yeah, but the 50-70 days FEEL like 50-70 years. Studies have shown that time actually slows down when you’re fasting, time being a relative concept anyway.
HOW MANY CALORIES DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR HOME?
Can I count the frogs and fish by the water..
Give you an inch and you take a mile huh lol. Well let’s just say I am super careful and very judicious. Nona yo business LOL 😉
Get ahead of the curve by claiming your meaty Saint Bernard from the SPCA today!
If u keep it alive it will eat like a pony. what? kill it day one?
Good point.
Before too many more shopping days go by, I should advise y’all that 3 important birthdays are immanent:
Joe Biden turns 80 on Nov 20
Q. Shtik turns 82 on Nov 21
Speedy BB turns 82 on Nov 22
Look at you, old man! Puttin’ yourself out there!

I was unsure of the spelling so I typed “immanent” and since it did not draw a squiggly line under it I figured it was correct. Little did I know there was such a word but with a different meaning than I intended.
Jeez, I thought Q did mean “immanent.”
Putting the ancient geezers in a whole new deemention (ha ha) .
Well, you got me there then. I didn’t know that word existed either. See now? You fucked up in reverse. Sort of. That’s why you’re the eminent Ruckers grad. See what I did there?
Highlight the word and right click it then look up using sidebar or google.
Unless you are claiming laziness in which case good on you life is too short to worry about the small print.
LOL. And what would you like for your birthday Q?
Nov. 21 birthdays. Who is Q most like? Hetty Green. tight with a buck and the “Witch of Wall St? Tom Horn because we all know Q is an outlaw in spirit. Maybe “Stan the Man” the baseball great.
Hetty Green (had to look her up) sounds pretty apt, with just a touch of rascally Bernie Madoff thrown in for good measure. In typical Q. fashion, he’d reply, “What? The dumbasses should have known better!” when caught.
I’m ashamed that I cannot, or rather refuse to, “act my age”. Actually that would be a “dead body” based on longevity statistics.
When I look in the mirror, then yes, I do look old, but that’s the result of cutting out all dairy products in 2013. My “subcutaneous fatty layer” shrunk, skin got baggy and sagged, and suddenly I gained about 7 years’ worth of wrinkles.
Don’t care, as long as I can still pedal that 29er mountain bike up those steep West Java grades.
And the brain appears to be carrying on, with the notable exception of forgetting names. I had the hardest time remembering the name of the sharp-faced black woman Secretary of State under Dubya. I could see the tanker named for her. I thought hard and saw a short first-name and a long surname (got that bass-ackwards). Of course I could have just clicked on Goodle and fished it out but I preferred to make the brain work hard to get it. Never did.
Ditto for Loren Eiseley, whose amazing books I had read in the 1970s. He is just that much of a “B-List” nature writer that for the longest time I failed to remember it, or find it on the web.
I’m actually enjoying the hell out of my 80s. Lots of pain in the legs and back, to be sure, but I’m a motorcyclist so pain is my middle name.
Sorry to waste your time with my jawing. (No I’m not.)
What causes pain in the legs?
Years of running, I guess. I stopped around my 60th birthday, concerned that I’d end up with buggered knees. After I had my hip replacement this year (very smooth in-and-out job, sixty-five hundred bucks and no complications) I was perturbed to find that I was getting pain in BOTH legs – probably because the new hip made me walk funny (cue Monty Python) and [mis-]use muscles that don’t ordinarily work that way.
I am determined to keep riding the mountain bike until I crumble into dust.
Add collagen supplements.
Sincere thanks, benr. That’s definitely going on the list.
Benr turns 54 on Nov 22.
Woo! A triumph of genetics!
(Who feels the need to ‘announce’ their birthday?)
Just because no one likes you doesn’t mean we would not wish you a happy birthday.
All though I suspect you are living proof of anal delivery.
Oh! Nice one!
LMAO!
If you ask me, I think someone should perform a cognitive test on Ole Uncle Fester (Fetterman) there before they seat him in the Senate.
QUICK! Someone screw a lightbulb into his mouth to see if it’ll light up!
Cute!
Saw a bumper sticker yesterday
BIDEN/FETTERMAN
2024
A NO BRAINER
I have said this before.
Check out the movie Battleship where Brooklyn Decker and the Army guy with prosthetic legs are fighting the aliens. Take a good look at the alien’s face and body.
I know where Fetterman came from.
It looks like the Republicans might end up with a razor thin majority in the House of Representatives, which might shake things up a little bit. I don’t know, maybe I’ve spoken too soon.
Really depends on the balance between East Coast RINOs and Red state conservative.
And do not let any one kid you, Trump is still alive and well.
Trump is supposed to be making an announcement soon. Any predictions?
My fear now is that RINO’s will defect to Dems on close key votes in the House. Dems May target and payoff or intimidate 5 or 6 of our squishes in order to maintain de facto ideological control.
News: Trump backed, election denier Kari Lake is expected to lose to Katie Hobbs.
These people know what is good for them and bad for us. If they hate Trump this much, he is definitely the man to vote for – his petulance and vanity notwithstanding.
Yes. They hate him so much that it is clear we need to stick by him. You know, the uniparty people never condemn their own for their bad characteristics. In the end they circle the wagons and stand up for one another. We must do the same thing. So, I will no longer ever contemplate President Trump’s more negative characteristics.
It sounds like class action lawsuits are going to unfold in Arizona. They can call the election for Katie Hobbs, but Kari Lake is not going to concede. From this point forward I don’t think any of our people should ever concede because the system is so rigged and obviously manufactured. Fox was in on the steal too because their prediction of Katie Hobbs victory a week before showed almost the same amount of votes she supposedly received in the “real” election.
Well said. Anglin made a great point today that applies here I think: Some Black men value personal honor more than success. Thus it’s much harder to blackmail them. Trump, for all his faults, has some of this same spirit. And Lake obviously has it as well.
They’re obviously mocking us with non-entities like Hobbs and utter retards like Fetterman. Their arrogance in this regard may come back to haunt them.
I noticed this same spirit in regards to Fox, thought I hadn’t heard about the early prediction. Utterly disgusting.
Yes that makes a lot of sense. It’s sorta too that old fashioned idea that you can simply shake hands for a business deal in the place of a contract because the parties honor their word and trust is built on that. They do mock people like this now among others. I also believe it is a dispiriting campaign to convince people to accept the opposite of elevation and achievement. Because it really is a spiritual battle at that level.
That strategy only works for democrats SSL. They have the MSM, Silicon Valley, Corporate America, and Academia in their pockets. The entire propaganda apparatus swings into action to “memory hole” the flaws of Democrats.
No so for Republicans. If you so much as exhibit a case of halitosis, this same conglomerate of fiends swings into action to blacken your name with every voter in the country.
It’s not a level playing field. For this reason, Republicans must support the most pristine, intelligent, and effective candidates they can field. Otherwise, our guys get beaten to death by Election Day and go down in flames.
This is why I have shifted to DeSantis, and I am very hardcore MAGA. My dream ticket on November 7th was Trump/DeSantis…..now it is most likely DeSantis and someone else yet to be determined.
Being a beautiful loser is now a recipe for living out the rest of our lives in some Wokester gulag in the Aleutian Islands. Not an option for me. I am only backing people with consistent track records of winning going forward.
DeSantis has never lost an election.
We shouldn’t allow anyone to tell us who our candidates should be imho. Though certainly I do realize how unbalanced everything is with everything by default in favor of the Democrats. Donald Trump was able to overcome that before. Ron has not yet run a campaign nationally. That being said he has been a great governor for Florida and I have nothing bad to say of him. Any politician or candidate who is America First all the way and not beholden to special interests and the old dynasties is good in my book.
i have to admit that i did volunteer locally to become an election observer, but was denied because the training class required to be “certified” was full.
nevertheless, the joke was on me.
one of the better DeepState schemes, was to rope a dope the trumpies into a full out effort to secure the voting system by citizen observers at the voting and counting stations.
when the crimes of fraud and rigging were done inside the machines and over digital communication networks, and mostly not in any place under public observation.
they set the foxhounds on all the false trails.
and a merry chase it was for bannon’s cohort of sworn trump supporters.
and now the rinos, the establishment republicans have not said a word about the rigging. just silence. letting the trumpies twist slowly in the wind, powerless to use any lawful means to counterattack with the speed needed.
so the rinos “let it happen” and perhaps “made it happen” but their worst and real enemy–not the democrats, but rather Trump, who is now deprived of a new cavalry in congress, and much of his footsoldier army.
quite brilliant, and i think showing the kind of operational oversight, not to mention planning and tactics, which leads to a suspicion of non-human participation.
our big problem is that we don’t know the names of the highest level of our enemies.
Mr. Global as Catherine Austin-Fitts calls them.
down with the machines.
Arizona is a hot mess. Let the lawsuits fly and the recounts begin.
In the long run, though, Arizona’s close proximity to Cali, New Mexico, and Old Mexico means she is doomed.
Greetings, all. I have things to do (and miles to go before I sleep) ahead of the snow, but I am enjoying the comic relief of the latest attempt to get out in front of the Pelosi footage and still make it into a kidnapping attempt on Nancy.
Did you know…
You can’t judge anything from a victim’s behavior, such as when they open the door to the police they summoned, and they don’t try to escape while the police are right there, they can STILL be a victim. Of a crime that didn’t happen until the police showed up?
They don’t want us to actually see the tape for ourselves, but they pretty much figure it’s a forgone conclusion that we will see it; so they want to educate us on how to view the tape beforehand.
They also warn us that not seeing the tape has led to some wild conspiracy theories, but at the same time everything we have surmised because of the refusal to release the tapes has been accurate. When something happened it is no longer a theory.
So, the actual footage must be pretty bad if they refuse to show it even after the disclaimer.
How do these ‘newspeople’ live with themselves? What a bunch of hos.

That’s a keeper. Oh the irony.
Chilly boots on the ground report from canuckistan. Further to two family diagnosis of dementia, one young clot victim with cancer and now a blood infection, the remaining boosted syb just flipped his quad, lost an eye, broke his back, fractured his face and ribs and managed to wiggle his toes after neuro surgery. I’m wondering if this isn’t also a clot shot induced brain malfunction incident.
His grandson, who is now in shock, saved him, for what? For Hecuba?
A low level travelin banker friend has a just pregnant twice boosted nurse daughter. First grandchild. I wonder how that’s gonna play out.
Neighbour diagnosed with stomach cancer, fully boosted just disappeared, hospice or opted out?
Happy bday all. Still reading but most time spent chopping wood, carrying water.
On the spiritual front, war, famine, plague and captivity prophesied. Also God’s intervention called, ‘the Warning’ is immanent.

Yes Night. Poor Canada. To quote the bvm 100+ years ago.
was just reading this fairly horrifying report on MAiD. so sorry that Canada seems to be leading the world into the NWO.
hope there is pushback against this, at least moral outrage.
p.s. 3 of my uncles were born in Saskatchewan, before grandparents moved down to Illinois. my mother just missed being born before the move or i would have considered the right of return, when Canada was still a shining place.
Nunavut has a certain hermit appeal, although i did own a condo in Powell River years back, when i was living ex-pat.

Thanks for the update, Anamari. Keep safe up there. Your manlet WEF puppet of a PM is about to shit on all the good Canucks again.
Not a lot of good news in that report, but an excellent report nonetheless.
The big guy? Joe Biden?
Before enlightenment, chopping wood and carrying water. After enlightenment, chopping wood and carrying water.
I think the big guy is the Big Guy.
Thank you, anmari, for the kind thoughts.
That’s a lot of bad news – sorry about your family members. Re the pregnant nurse, she and the baby may be OK. I think it depends a lot on when they get vaxxed. I worried for months about my vaxxed pregnant niece and she and the baby are as right as rain, as far as one can see anyway. I think it is much worse if they get the vaxx in the first trimester, but even so, although too many people are affected, it’s not everyone.
Stay well, in your role as hewer of wood and drawer of water. 🙂
When does the next round of forced vax start?
Is the UK government talking about any?
Nothing forced, Pete, at the moment. Currently they’re ‘inviting’ the over-50s to get the bivalent vaxx with or without the flu vaxx, but there are no mandates.
But the WHO – and therefore the press – are making noises about ‘variants’ evolving faster than the scientists can develop new ‘vaccines’, so I guess they’ll keep at it until they can find a reason to start coercing people again, also with masks and other restrictions. They’ve got to keep it going until the digital IDs are in place. I read yesterday that the UK and the US are lagging in their development of CBDCs and digital wallets, compared to other countries, which quite surprised me. I thought we were the vanguard!
Seems to be a huge push for the Shingles vaccine.
Yep, benr. I’m 70 and I’ve never seen NHS shingles ads on the TV until now. At my GP practice there was always a notice saying the 70+ were entitled to a free shingles jab, but that was all.
Under the old normal, I’d have considered getting a shingles jab when I hit 70, as my mother suffered for quite a long time after her bout of shingles, but not now. I wouldn’t trust anything coming from an NHS needle. I’ll take my chances. You have to die of something, and I’d rather it wasn’t their choice of something.
on utube I see get vaxxed ads regularly.
@ anmariwakaranai:
Something that’s kind of up your alley: I just had a dream of a tremendous explosion–I suppose like you would get from a missile attack, though I have never seen such a thing. There was a huge red-orange fireball and a deafening blast.
I am not in any rush to think this is a premonition, as, back in 1983, I dreamed I saw a nuclear blast looking out the kitchen window. Huge mushroom cloud.
Some dreams you never do figure out what they meant.
A strong recommendation for those who would like to experience the horror of Armageddon, in the context of a John Goodman / Joe Dante comedy about a sleazy Hollywood “B”-Movie director opening a clumsy 1960s horror movie in a four-wall-deal in Miami… during the Cuban Missile Crisis … : “Matinee”.
Captures the terror of a nuclear exchange very aptly. Brings it all back.
Globalists are trying to inoculate as many people as possible so that their great reset aka depopulation 2030 plan work. If science can’t be questioned it’s not science anymore. It’s propaganda. They want to rip on people for taking Ivermectin. I researched and saw the evidence on the internet. Research papers are on the internet for those who wants to see. Top respected world doctors are being under defamation by MSM and vaccine manufacturers. I won’t back down recommeding IVM. You can get yours by visiting getmeivm.com
Just bought some the other day from tractor Supply. Just in case.
Uh oh, Russian missiles strike Poland, killing two.
Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to prolong this war — the chance always existed that it would spin out of control. Sure plenty of cash is being laundered — tens of billions — but when is enough enough? A line has to be drawn, after all. What, you thought Pols from DC were flying in & out of Kiev just to offer glad tidings? In NATO, it’s all for one and one for all, attack one state, you have attacked all 29 states. Remember about 4 years ago when Deep Staters, Big Dems & Media Shills were expressing fear that President Trump would start WW3 lol.
Uncorroborated reports of a missile strike (or rocket) in Poland, 4 miles from the border with Ukraine.
According to “local reports” (whatever the fuck that means).
A grain processing facility.
So.
Reality:
A grain elevator suffered a dust explosion. These happen.
Because of anti-Russia hysteria, the CIA is attempting to gin up US involvement by claiming that the Russians hit the grain elevator with a “missile or rocket” LOL
Ah, a provocation then. With potential nuclear war in the offing, you’d think the CIA would be endeavoring to tamp down the hysteria, not ramp it up.
Or Polish Intel
There are thousands of Poles fighting in Ukrainian uniforms now
Why would the WEF be causing a food emergency? Can’t put my finger on it
You’ll come up with some bizarre theory if you really put your mind to it.
Here’s a hint, Redneck.
In Sri Lanka, they sabotaged the food system by making nitrogen fertiliser illegal.
Result: mass food shortages, entirely contrived.
Solution: Rationing, using digital ID.
Go on, tell us you still can’t work it out.
Enjoyed “Ancient Apocalypse” on Netflix. Premise: A lost agricultural culture from the ice age provided intellectual seed for many post ice-age developments after catastrophic flooding from warming erased coasts globally.
Moral of the story, imo: the interplay between civilization and promitivism is likely quite a bit older and more complex, more back-and-forth, than traditional scholarship acknowledges.
No civilization project has cracked the endurance issue. And, even if one should solve sustainability riddles in the future, there are always asteroid-events. Always a chance primitive skills will be necessary again, to endure.
Also, climate changes will always be, ultimately, unpredictable.
primitivism*
Time is a devouring monster, symbolized as Kala in Hindu iconography. Space is a better eidelon or symbol of Divinity.
That’s not what they theorize.
They assert that the US passed through the Taurid meteor shower/comet path at a point of great density which inundated the Earth with cataclysmic impacts that at first melted portions of the ice caps inducing instantaneous mega-violent floods that raised the sea level and drowned low-lying coastal areas. The upshot of ash and particles and debris caused a great cooling effect that brought about an ice age.
Earth, not US, duh
The extended premise is that the coastal areas typically harbor civilization, and recent discoveries reveal evidence that advanced civilizations were present at the time of the cataclysms. They then go on to exhibit the similarities in flood myths and seafaring visitors
Yes.
Major meteors generally cool things for a few years then ultimately warm things. This program does maintain that a Taurid meteor shower probably caused the ending of the ice age around 12k BC and the global flooding that followed.
To me, the most convincing parts of the program involved evidence of civilization-building before that date, during that ice-age (civ-building that scholars don’t currently acknowledge much), and then survivors of those cultures influencing post-ice-age developments, after the incredible flooding.
Agreed, and how only the credentialed archaeologists , each learning the same from the rote approved curriculum are barriers as opposed to explorers
awesome
thanks Bob
I gotta watch that
I have difficult time believing that modern anatomic humans have been on the planet for 300,000 years, and yet just in the last 5K years or so we’ve generated civilization.
Sorry. I call bullshit. That leaves some 290,000 years of people who had the capacity of an Einstein, or a Musk, or others like George Washington or Joe Stalin— to do what? scrounge as deer hunters and berry gatherers?

Got to say a larger percentage of them is mentally ill than just those living on the streets.
Don’t forget all those that live in the hoods, standing on street corners slinging dope, drinking 40’s and running ho’s!
Even more to the point look at all the people forced to live in close proximity to all this corrupted culture of gangsta nonsense.

Now, who knows what is real coming out of H-wood, but Chapelle does:
there are 2 words you just can’t say together “the” and Jews” because nothing good comes after that. He went on to say that a group of blacks is called a gang, Italians are called a mob, and Jews are.. well, it’s a coincidence you shall not speak of it.
But he’s a comic, and he tied off his teasing with an astute observation: there are a lot of Jews in Hollywood, a lot… but there are a lot of blacks in Ferguson but it sure as hell doesn’t mean they’re running the place.
Great point, but of course he was vilified anyway.

Yeah but in fact they are running it as he well knows – as does everyone with at least a room temperature IQ and not living under a rock. As well as the media as a whole.

I’ve been reading the news out of Idaho about the murder of 4 college kids, murdered by an “edged weapon”.. like a knife? lol.
Sounds like the cops wanna stop hysteria about…. a serial killer?
It’s very bizarre. Reported that 4 college kids died, but a big mystery. Obviously if they were stabbed, that’s not a mystery. Maybe a massacre, but certainly no mystery.
SO it’s taken days to tell the public they were stabbed to death, and then they report it in some bizarro fashion? Obviously something is being covered up.
And in all that time, there is a killer running around…
Well, it could have been an axe. Another crazy axe murderer running around Idaho. Just so long as it wasn’t a ‘Gun Crime’ there really isn’t much to worry about. An axe, no problemo.
The interpersonal violence really seems to be ramping up in a spectacular way. It’s a bloody purge, all against all.
All the rhetoric is suspicious. More of the warnings that no one is safe, because massacres like this just ‘happen,’ don’t they?
“In a separate statement Monday, Bettge called the students’ killings a “tragedy” that “serves as a sobering reminder that senseless acts of violence can occur anywhere, at any time, and we are not immune from such events here in our own community.”
Now they ‘know’ that it was a crime of passion, even though they don’t have a suspect.
Amazing! One might think they are just trying to keep the public in the dark that there is a predator among them.
One thing about axe murders: you don’t see a lot of cleaning accidents and the like.
“I was just cleaning my axe and had no idea it was even loaded. Next thing you know, there it was, planted square in Joe’s noggin after three or four good hard whacks. Damnedest thing I ever did see!”
Another “conspiracy theory” come true.

I don’t know but he has shown himself to be a racist, bigot and now misogynist all things he has called many people on this page.
It’s confusing to think he might be a white power guy but is ashamed to show up unlike Jarek who at least owns what he is.
How can even you, peabrain, read that remark as misogynistic?
Night-Howler-Monkey clambers aboard your little choo-choo train of pathetic ranting with his usual flair – but he won’t answer the age-old question regarding when he stopped beating his wife.
When do you transcend and merge with nano-tech?
Guru Harari has suggested that you will all float away on a technological Noah’s Ark, while us mere mortals will suffer.

You used my insult back at me you should have waited at least a day or so and used it on Friday.
That is bad form with so many viable options.
You need to refine your insults.
It is after all a form of art in this day and age.
Hahahaha again Rednut doesn’t get having the same shit he dishes out thrown back in his face.
Everyone knows the libs are not allowed to insult a lib woman lest they be accused of misogyny, but the rule doesn’t work on the other side.
Same with the TRAs who want to be treated special, and have their feelings spared, but don’t think women should get that same consideration.
The Guardian manages to blame rising cancer rates and later-stage cancer diagnoses in Europe on (1) the ‘pandemic’, (2) Putin and (3) Brexit.
A hat trick.

You couldn’t make it up. Well, they do, of course.
Trump bringing up 4th?
If he’d still been President, he’d surely have been there!
Standard operating procedure for the vile, lying media and a gullible public that gets so easily conditioned by this nonsense. If they believed that the ‘pandemic’ was responsible where is the introspection on the fact that it was nearly all self-inflicted.
I always smile when I hear J O’B on LBC Radio. I don’t think I’ve ever tuned in where he hasn’t been ranting about Brexit. Six years after the vote and he’s still utterly consumed by it. And of course, it’s the cause of all problems in Britain, a ‘disaster’, backed up by everyone who phones in to the echo chamber.
I see the same dissonance in effect with the Ukraine SMO. I heard ID on the very same LBC last night frothing at the mouth about these two missiles that went into Poland and how it’s high time we stopped giving Russia the benefit of the doubt. The usual fake outrage, call to arms, Putin-this-that-and-the-other, all supported by the usual unhinged callers who haven’t got a fucking clue about Ukraine but are now all experts because the media gives them ‘the truth’.
‘Cept “Joe Biden” let slip that the trajectory doesn’t add up and they probably didn’t come from Russia. I’d love to put these fuckwits, along with all of the smug virtue-signalling Ukie-flag-bearing Twits, up against a wall.
Like the latest gun tragedy, or a pandemic in need of vax passports it’s as if the crypto swindle was made to summon legislation
The cart is bringing up the horse, and Schwab is on that horse.
Today they came to agreement on the need for vaccine passports so as not to shut down commerce with the next pandemic. “Select” people will permitted to travel.
That’s not you lest you’re unsure

Big Bad Orangie giving his 2024 announcement at Mar a Lago
Fuck
Looks like Versailles lol
I could hear my neighbor in his garage yelling at his teevee about f#cking Trump.
I yelled orangeman bad at him and he went inside.
Haha nice
Lol!
The real comedy of this short story is in how you told it.
Top drawer, my friend.
Pete…Big Bad Orangie not so big and bad anymore.
The mentee laps the mentor…sorry Donnie, Ron DUHSantis in 2024.
Either one would be better than the idiot we have in the Whitehouse now.
Everyone loves Ron DeSantis of Florida, but who will be the Ron DeSantis of ‘murica(!)?
After the big donors pass him around. After the big corporations write his platforms’s talking points? After the entrenched deep state intelligence and offense agencies pay him a visit? After the donors suggest one of their guys as an advisor or cabinet member?
The ship of DeSantis will be replaced plank by plank, of course he’ll still look the same and carry that same swagger, but the substance and the original timber will all be exchanged.
The election run-up is nothing but a swap-out.
No matter, you’ll all push your chips out front
Fooled again
Even run through the ringer DeSantis or Trump is still a better choice than the current top three Democrats.
The crash of western civ is happening no matter which showman or woman they put in place as a distraction.

Biden in Bali with G20
Very interesting developments in Poland. The Poles claim ‘Russian made’ missiles hit a farm killing two. However that they aren’t sure Russia shot the missiles.
Russia for its part claims that there were no missile operations in that area today.
Zelensky claims this incident is a ‘significant escalation’.
Biden has stated that it was unlikely Russia shot the missiles.
So who benefits from this incident?
Ukraine, obviously. I’m starting to think that Zelensky had an attack ordered onto Polish territory as a desperate attempt at forcing NATO entry into the war.
The Swiss banks getting another piece of incoming Zelensky aid?
PeteA
Interesting clip here at around 36 mins of a hit on a farm. But it’s not really a hit on a farm – that’s just what the MSM would call it.
ukcolumn.org/video/uk-column-news-16th-november-2022
A bit like ‘targeting a supermarket’, where the supermarket was right beside a military installation deliberately embedded in a civilian area.
Should have said a hit on a ‘barn’, which seems to be at the edge of a field. But the barn which took the hit is right beside a row of houses.
Here’s your red meat to gnaw on for the next two years, CFNers.

I’m an Independent, but if I were a Republican, I’d say bring on Mike Pence in 2024.

Mike pence has zero charisma the perfect VP as someone said below he might as well be cardboard.
No way he can win the Whitehouse unaided much like the unlikeable hair sniffer N chief reenacting weekend at Bernies on the whitehouse lawn.

Get your hands on rolls of US silver dimes, quarters, and halves.
Change you can believe in.
Dear JHK Admin,
There is a lot to unpack in your mini-essay, and I won’t get to all of it.
1. To call Russia’s withdrawal a “tactical move” is like calling the Titanic hitting an iceberg a “little accident.” This was a gross strategic defeat. I have no idea who you are reading to make this claim, but a moment’s reflection would suggest that losing the Western bank of the Dnipro River–rather a large river to cross by the way, will make it extraordinary difficult to cross it to threaten Kherson or Southern Ukraine with anything other than artillery and rocket fire–which will also make Russia’s artillery systems vulnerable to HIMAR fire. The internal lines of communication for Ukraine are superior to the lines the Russians face, and I expect that just as Russia has 40,000 troops to throw into the fight elsewhere, so do the Ukrainians. Can we finally give up the claim that the Russians have only suffered 5000 dead please?
2. “Katie Hobbs — whose position as AZ Secretary of State left her in charge of an election she ran in, and all the janky machinery behind it.” I do not remember you railing against Kemp for being in a similar position against Abrams in Georgia, during the 2018 election. Why is it bad when Democrats do it and not when Republicans do it?
3. As for Arizona? You can offer your view as one possible explanation, but Occam’s Razor suggests a simpler explanation than a major undetected theft of an election–people are tired about unsubstantiated claims about election stealing. And, those who truck in those claims cut off their own nose to spite the face of their voters by telling them to wait till election day to vote. It cost Lake to hold to that view. Rather than getting her voters out to vote early and allowing her to focus on the ones who hadn’t voted closer to election day, she was left with a large swath of voters subject to the whims of ill children, broken down cars, and a distaste for long lines at voting stations. That rhetoric which sounds so sweet to the base may have been enough to cost her the election–no shenanigans needed…
4. “Inflation is for-real and is crushing the country’s standard-of-living. Before long, it may shift into deflation, which means instead of having a lot of money losing value, you’ll have no money at all.” Two things–“inflation would be crushing our standard of living” if it was combined with increasing unemployment (a la 1970/80s). We are not seeing that as yet–so, you might want to hold off on the “crushing” thing for a bit. It might happen, but that lies in the future, given the Fed’s moves in the economy. Second, deflation’s impact is on the value of DEBT, rather than money, per se. Deflation is a lot worse than inflation in most cases. What is the pathway to deflation that you have in mind? Also, we have a Republican Party that wants to give tax cuts in this inflationary environment. How messed up is that?
5. As for the Party of Chaos? Sure, why not–but what about your silence on the Party of Crazy Clown Car Shit Show Chaos? I haven’t heard the Dems seriously suggest or imply holding the good faith and credit of the US hostage to get Biden to do their bidding? You might want to examine and talk about the alternative being offered to the American people. I think it is more likely that voters saw the Republican Party and saw craziness in the air around them. Biden may be boring, but he looks a hell of a lot more rational than Trump. And Biden successfully painted Republicans as harboring MAGA-fueled crazies. Is it true? I don’t think so, but Republicans did not help themselves with the irresponsible rhetoric of a very vocal group of folks. And don’t forget the abortion debacle–rather than be measured in dealing with abortion, Republican legislatures tried to outdo each other in the levels of restrictions they were going to put on women’s reproductive rights. Sorry–Americans are not that radical–clear majorities of folks like the idea of restrictions on abortion–but some of the moves made by some struck many folks as being UNREASONABLE.
6. So, in summary, Americans voted for the Party of Lesser Chaos. Is that a good choice? It is when you look at the alternative offered.
Re 1. It looks to me like they are systematically taking Ukraine apart and the Ukonazis are getting ever more desperate and begging. (Meanwhile the money keeps flowing into the pockets of Western arms manufacturers.)
Your Titanic analogy is ridiculous by the way.
Hi Slugoon,
You will have to explain why you don’t like my Titanic analogy. I liked it. Is it because I should have explained ahead of time the difference between “strategic considerations” and “tactical movements” and explained in exhausting detail why JHK Admin’s claim was trivializing what had happened? Or because you don’t like the fact that the Russians won’t be going that way again?
And as for “systematically taking Ukraine apart” are you referring to the missile strikes? The fabulous Russian breakthroughs in the East? Or the grinding campaign that is killing thousands on each side? Or the fact that the Ukrainians are going to replicate their interdiction strikes against Russian weaponry and ammunition as they did in Kherson–using those Western weapons that we are paying the manufacturers for? Because, that worked super well for the Russian war machine in Kherson.
And if you don’t like Western Arms Dealers getting money, what about the Wagner Group? Why should you like them getting money? Is it because Eastern oligarchs are a better bet to place hard earned rubles with then Western arms dealers?
Lindsey Graham is partly responsible for the Dobbs effect because of his federal ban idea which was an intentional sabotage from the Mitch McConnell wing of “Republicans” that you can be friends with. And withholding funding from Biden’s programs is what Congress is actually hired to do. And many people in Arizona were unable to vote on election day because the tabulators weren’t working or printers weren’t working. That is far worse than simply an inconvenience.
I assume your evening was spoiled when Republicans gained the majority in the House followed by President Trump’s 2024 announcement.
What did you earn for that hopeless tripe of a comment ?
A penny a word to pull those fantasies out of your ass ?
People see thru your happy horseshit.
I think the Atlantic comment section would be a better fit for you.
Any questions jackoff boy ?
@ hustled enough:
Well, we have learned three things from your post:
1. You don’t know anything about military strategy or the real capabilities of the parties involved,
2. You don’t know anything about economics, and
3. You think everyone who does know anything about these things, and objective reality in general, is crazy.
Thus underlining the crux of the problem with liberals: They don’t know anything about anything.
Comes from living in TV-land, I guess.
Normally, as to the “not knowing anything about anything” problem, you’d think, “Well, that’s fixable, right?”
Nope. Liberals don’t want to know anything about anything. Their entire worldview is a collection of absurd fantasies. If they were forced to confront reality, they’d suffer a devastating “loss of self.”
Not sure that definition just applies to Liberals.
Well said.
As my completely woke sister says, “I do my research. I listen to NPR and read The Guardian.”
Insert eyeroll here.
Thank you so much for your summary and conclusion. I had been tempted to offer Hustled a short daily reading list. But it seemed pointless.
in case he is not ineducable, here are some names for him to lookup
Mercouris,
Martyanov,
Macgregor,
berletic
southfront
sorcha
a short list.
Hi Anthea,
Given no basis for your critique–assertions are not an argument, I will take that as evidence that you don’t have anything interesting to say this time around.
Hustled,
It’s refreshing to encounter a rational voice here. The retreat from Kherson is a big deal. I’m glad Kherson was “Forever Russia” for only a little while. Kunstler seems to think the Russians will have the upper hand by spring, but I don’t know what information leads him to that conclusion. I’ve got a feeling he doesn’t either. Perhaps five months is long enough to sober up and train the new recruits, but I doubt it. It’s going to be a long winter for the Russian troops lacking supplies (winter gear) and morale. Once all the washing machines have been looted from occupied territory, and advances can’t be made, why will Russian soldiers continue to fight?
Because Russians still hate Nazis, unlike the dipshits in the west who have been reprogrammed to love them.
Hi Paula D,
Yep, Nazis commit war crimes… like the Russians, er, … squirrels!
Did it take you long, weepstate, to accept the new dictum “Nazis are our friends”?
I would have thought it would take a long time for Americans to get over their distaste for Nazis, but I was wrong.
It was pretty much instant. As soon as their owners told them “Nazis are now good” you and they all repeated “Nazis good, Russians bad”.
Are Nazis any worse than Socialists or Communists?
I see zero difference given power they destroy everything they touch.
Since we are not dealing with Nazis or communists, no problemo, benr.
No argument there, Weepstate…
Yesterday: the Russians have fired two missiles into Ukraine. They are denying it, which means they are guilty. We know it’s them. Any suggestion to the contrary is a conspiracy theory and Russian propaganda. Article 5, now.
Today: well, even if it was a Ukrainian missile it’s still Russia’s fault.
Just what is wrong in these people’s brains.
(Footnote: the US wipes out thousands of civvies in Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya/Syria etc. “ah, that’s just collateral damage, our bad, as you were…”)
This missile-hit-Poland story is meaningless. It will be replaced with some very HARD-hitting news soon. If I was a NATO decision center, I would be worried.
So, FTX con man and criminal Sam Bankman Fried’s mother founded Democrat superpacs, but guess what his brother did? Read on, my dear friends:

All the same people committing all the same crimes. Fancy that.
Any second now Redneck or riverwotsit will be along to tell you that’s a “conspiracy theory”. Case closed.
Nice find. Just incredible, isn’t it, and they really don’t bother to hide it, because they don’t need to.
All this for the contrived science defying wet dreams of Greta Thunberg, John Kerry, and the Barack Obama’s of this world. Here is the REAL reason the earth is warming (slightly): There are now almost 8 BILLION people on planet Earth. More than double since 1960. They all eat, drink water, defecate, and take from the earth the resorces they need to get those things. And the earth STILL complies…Hmmmmm…Yet we have the aforementioned virtue signaling idiots demanding we ALL suffer to prolong the eventual world stagnancy they so desire for another 50 or so years..
Thers an old saying: If it aint broken, Don’t fix it.
Simple, eh?
Greta’s counterpart on Saturn blames the Sweeper Moons for their elevated temperatures, but they love their moons so she is treated like a nut.
Agw is the positive affirming, “Yes we can communal” effort towards resource conservation.
Of course the same effect of reduced consumption could be achieved through simple market functions, sometimes called the pricing mechanism aka supply demand.
But where the fun in that? One, traditional econ appeals to logical market participants that reek of white supremacy and privilege. Two, providing a helping hand to save mother earth gives off both important virtue points and a very real sense of satisfaction for a key demographic.
But point three, ah point three is the ‘killer app’ as we used to say. That’s the wonderful world of digital currency, social mandates and complete economic control.
Never let an opportunity to go to waste; depletion, overshoot and degradation might surpass volcanoes and asteroids in the big league rankings of civilization reset or exinction events.
No, we need to do things differently.
Food gathering and production need to change drastically.
More hydroponics vertically or something like the following.
urbanhomestead.org/
hydroponicsspace.com/one-acre-of-aquaponics-a-guide-for-a-seven-figure-income
Animals need to be fed more closely to what they have traditionally been fed and wild caught fish need to be left alone at least for a harvest of every other year.
Fossil fuel fertilizers need to be discontinued as they cause huge issues to fresh water and salt water everywhere they run off.
@benr, we have a local business, Backyard Farms, that grows tomatoes year round and sells them locally as well. They seem to be thriving and have been around for a while.
It would be great if we’d change our food gathering and production voluntarily, but I’m afraid most of us are too stupid and will let it play out to the sorry end. Quite a few farmers are onto this and have the skills to change how they farm, but too many of them are broke or outrageously in debt to Farm Credit.
I think most of the problems with agriculture could be solved with decentralization of food production/processing–and I suspect that all it would take to decentralize agriculture would be ending ag subsidies. This, I think, would expose Big Ag, with the monocropping of thousands of acres of government-subsidized, chemically fertilized row crops as uneconomic. (I figure Big Ag would quickly go bankrupt without subsidies.)
I know there’s a lot of “I thinks” in here, but I think that the bankruptcy of Big Ag would result in farmland becoming affordable, which would result in just about everybody who wanted at least a small acreage to be able to purchase it. This would result in a drastic change in the rural landscape: Instead of looking out your car window and seeing hundreds or thousands of acres of row crops, you’d see a landscape dotted with homes on small acreages, each of them producing much of their own food supply, and also producing a marketable surplus. Those who want to could specialize in various products: artisan cheese, meats, eggs, tree fruits, nuts, berries, honey, baked goods, mushrooms, herbs, flowers, etc.
You’d also see lots of cottage industries in manufactured goods. Soap is an obvious one, but there are many other possibilities. I’m somewhat drawn to bent-willow furniture, for example. I also think it would be fun and interestig to be a potter.
Just as an aside, the organic fertilizer that we used this past year was Dr. Earth. If you do a search for it, you can check out the ingredients. That stuff is great! I need to get some of the kind used for flowers, as I want to grow a lot of flowers for cutting next year.
Sorry, Anthea, that may appeal to a lot of us, but sonnyl calls it “suffering” and refuses to do it.
Carry on with the oranges from Australia and the chickens sent to China for processing!
Anything is too horrendous to bear.
Anything else, that is, then the wonderful lives we all live now.
In deference to your teacher spirit, I meant “than”.
As a senior, I remember well how we lived in small town USA in the 50’s. I was in a rather upscale part of town, my dad owned a small local lumber company and machine shop he’d inherited. The lots on our street were large, starting at around an acre. About every other house on our street had an abandoned chicken house in the back yard, and us kids played house in them, in particular the girls. A few homes still had chickens, and most still had backyard gardens. I’m currently gardening on a flat area that has been in use for growing veggies ever since 1892.
Everything changed because of refrigeration and trucking. Food that was once grown locally and in back yards was shipped in, and eggs and chicken were available in grocery stores. No need to wake up each morning early and mess around in the chicken house, you had electric appliances that kept food cold, along with the refrigerator trucks and giant warehouses that stored all that cold stuff safely so they could ship it to you using cheap energy. Better living through chemistry and electricity!
We had one family on our street with a 5 acre lot that had a few hogs as well as chickens in the 50’s. Back in that day, a family could have a tough time killing those few backyard hogs that they’d come to know almost as pets. I had a rather trumatic experience once as a child when I first observed chickens being killed, blood everywhere, and the rather horrifying spectacle of a headless chicken running around with blood spurting out of its neck. I didn’t understand that enjoying fried or roasted chicken involved some bloodshed first.
Older people everywhere in the 50’s had a lot of self sufficient skills. They knew how to kill and process a hog in their back yards, and how to grow basic stuff like taters, tomatoes, okra, corn, etc. Before the era of refrigeration, fresh food was obtained locally or even from one’s backyard, and this was the lifestyle for everyone, including the affluent. These simple times will be returning soon after the current systems break down. There won’t be any other alternatives, and there won’t be any high tech solutions to the food supply problems. The survivors will roll up their sleeves and go back to doing things the way we used to. I *know* that lifestyle works because I’ve *seen* it work. The other ideas all about what might work are just speculation.
I enjoyed that, Woodchuck. Great to get these kinds of personal looks back on growing up in an entirely different era.
I am a child of the 80s.
a heartwarming story. the good old days.
I used to work with a Vietnamese guy whose parents were brought to New Orleans from Vietnam after the war. I assume they were collaborators.
Anyway, he told me of his acute embarrassment when his mother slaughtered a hog and hung it from the car port roof, right in front of the neighbors. All the neighborhood kids made fun of him.
He preferred take-out.
If it aint broken, Don’t fix it.
Sonny, can I remind you we live in a clusterfuck and everything is breaking. And the world still complies? Are you daft. Or do you want 10 billion so everyone can suffer 25% harder. I think you imagine yourself as somebody who won’t be doing any of the suffering. Tell me I am wrong.
Suffering will be 25% worse at 10 billion than it is now at 8 billion people. Will this be so or will everything go fubar first, making 10 billion humans unobtainable.
Perhaps at 9 billion people the world experiences western shock therapy when austerity is used everywhere all at once to keep private jets flying.
Then we can all live like we are in Ukraine now. Kumbiyah.
The world of humans is in population overshoot. A dieoff will happen when nothing is done to change. The soil depletes. Gas for fertilizer depletes. Arable land area depletes as changing climate moves both deserts and growing zones north.
please stop with the overpopulation fear porn panic.
all the secular west is below replacement rate, and if that is not fast enough for you, the vaxx is seriously decreasing fertility in men and women, viable pregnancies.
they have used the overpop fear porn exactly the same way they whipped up the people with covid, and all the other “plagues” on this short list published feb. 2020.
at that time, i saw several lists of mass “plagues & epidemics” like this one. these lists served as reminders that it would be best to wait on getting vaccinated, until there was more proof of a real pandemic.
this french list doesn’t include at least a half a dozen more MSM plague porn disease outbreaks of the last 20 years.

when we think the sky is falling, it might be time to sit in the shade and take a nap.
Yes, and in America, half the country is made up of leftist Democrats, Arabs, Mexicans, people of every nationality and skin color. A majority of White people in the population made for a livable country. When we reach that point with the White race being in the minority, we are screwed.
The Joe Biden walks back the idea that the missile that hit Poland came from Russia. Because, you know, that might trigger an actual war or something, and the US would be revealed as an impotent giant incapable of doing anything at all about it other than kvetch at an even higher pitch. Putin and crew have shown remarkable restraint thus far, but one wonders how much longer that can last while the Joe Biden and his EuroLackies continue to walk the razor’s edge.

Well I hear NATO will invoke Art. V against Ukraine as they are firing missiles into Poland. Also those missiles are supplied by the USA and the UK so I figure NATO can just go to war with themselves. Russia ,who ran out of missiles, launches 100 missiles into Ukraine. They are accurate and destroy their fixed targets. Ukraine launches hundreds of NATO air defense missiles in response. Many miss their rapidly moving targets and rain down haphazardly around the Ukraine landscape. The Z man and MSM immediately post pictures of “Russian” missile destruction of playgrounds, schools, and apartment buildings. Why would Russia target a playground with missiles which they ran out of and don’t have?
It’s been a solid week since the mid-term elections, still, ballots in 10 districts have not yet been counted — WHAT’S THE DEAL?
Check in with the Rednut.
This is just democracy in action, friend.
Easy they keep counting till the democrat wins of course!
An upcoming rail strike is being all but ignored by the media.
Get your shit now or be really hungry when the just in time supply system breaks.
All of this internal conflict, fighting, and mental illness going on in the USA will end after our period of mass starvation is over. After that. the survivors will be on the same page and in no mood to be embracing any more self destructive and nihilist Jacobin world views.
One of my close German relatives commented once on the situation of teen age girls here in the West being so unhappy that they routinely attempt suicide, sometimes successfully. During the worst part of WWII in Germany, it was very uncommon for young people to kill themselves. Death was so easy to come by, and dead people so visible everywhere in public after a “military event” – well – people figured why get ahead of the grim reaper or give him any competition, In the first half of the 40’s, he was standing right behind you ready to pounce anyway, why give him any assistance?

It sounds like he thinks he is a counterbalance to the multipolar world. He and they would like a one world government and the WEF is that government to them.
WEF is just a front group used to infiltrate governments.

A vaccine for addiction?
I suspect the cure might be as bad as the curse.

“The vaccines basically block the drug from getting into the brain, or the vaccines can draw the drug out of the brain. So it doesn’t have the complexities involved with trying to basically alter the chemistry involved in the brain with these particular drugs of abuse,” explained Dr. Janda.
My understanding is it burns out the receptors involved with opioid pleasure but what else do you lose in the process?
Uh-huh.

Well, ladies and germs,
This reported this AM from Situational Awareness;
AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS ASKS BIDEN, HHS TO DECLARE EMERGENCY: The CEOs of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association sent a letter to the White House and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) asking them to declare an emergency due to a surge in pediatric hospitalizations. The letter claims that 75% of pediatric hospital beds across the country are full and that increased hospitalizations are due to pediatric respiratory syncytial virus and influenza. –
Let’s get real…the real reason for the surge in pediatric cases is obvious…global warming.
Let’s get real…the real reason for the surge in pediatric cases is obvious…global warming.
Huh, I thought it was gender equity.
Not happy to hear about the kids though…what are people doing…
Sacrificing their kids on the altar of the covid death cult, for starters. If they aren’t sacrificing them on the altar of the trans cult, that is. Some are probably doing both.
Who cares. Let them eliminate the faulty genetics from the pool.
I wouldn’t care if they weren’t using both agendas to put us in danger as well.
I don’t think we should lose compassion for kids, no matter who their parent are.
And I’d include misguided 14-year-olds who got the jab of their own volition. Volition for a 14-year-old doesn’t mean that much in the face of military-grade psychological warfare from evil adults. Especially if your parents are mad.
In Ct the Children’s Hospitals are 100% full to the extent the Governor has declared a State of Emergency & called out National Guard medical units. We haven’t seen anything like this since 2015 when a strange meningitis/polio virus struck when Obama opened up the borders to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrant kids and placed them in elementary schools across the US.
This is why they were pushing to vaxx all the kids. Now they can say it’s a new pandemic, not the vaxx.
Some of us foresaw this 2+ years ago.
Might pay to have some true investigators go check out some of those hospitals. Dollars to doughnuts those numbers are cooked. I seem to remember we’ve seen all this before fairly recently.
Wow, just wow, words entirely escape me on this one:

Woman who married rag doll says relationship is ‘hanging on a thread’ after he ‘cheated’
A woman who claims to have married a rag doll says their relationship is now ‘hanging by a thread’ one year on, and has accused her handmade husband of cheating on her.
Meirivone Rocha Moraes, 37, was all set to celebrate her one-year anniversary with rag doll Marcelo, but was left broken-hearted after a friend saw him sneaking into a motel with another woman.
Meirivone has previously made headlines after opening up about her whirlwind romance with Marcelo, who her mother made for her after listening to her complaints about life as a single person who had nobody to dance with.
On December 18th, 2021, the smitten couple tied the knot in a wedding ceremony attended by 250 guests, and it wasn’t long before they welcomed their doll-baby Marcelinho into the world, in a ‘home birth’ aided by a nurse and doctor.
Sadly, it wasn’t long before cracks appeared in their fairy-tale.
Meirivone, from Brazil, claims she and Marcelo are now sleeping in separate rooms after she’d discovered he’d been ‘cheating’ on her with another woman.
She has now opened up about their ‘stringy’ romance in a candid TikTok video, which has clocked up 1.6 million views and more than 120,000 likes.
Devastated Meirivone said: “I found out through a friend who told me that she saw Marcelo entering a motel with another woman while I was hospitalised for three nights and three days with Marcelinho, our son, who had a virus.
“At first, I thought she was lying, but then I started looking through his phone and I saw the conversations, which made me sure he was cheating. He kept denying everything and said he loves me very much, as well as asking for forgiveness and crying a lot.
“The argument was ugly and scared [our son] who was crying, so I shouted to him: ‘Do you see what you’ve done?’ I asked him who the woman was and he didn’t respond.”
Although she initially considered chucking deceitful Marcelo out of the house completely, she agreed to let him stay for the sake of her children, Carol and Diego, and their ‘baby’ Marcelo.
Meirivone said: “I wanted to put him out of the house but our baby is growing up and at this stage, he would miss his father a lot. Also, the love I feel for him made me forgive – not completely – but I don’t think I could live without my husband.
“I need to talk with him, so he can decide once and for all that he doesn’t cheat anymore and if he does one more time, I won’t forgive him.”
In a mournful video montage shared to TikTok, Marcelo and Marcelinho could be seen seated together on the sofa where the philandering doll had been banished.
A number of followers took to the comments to reassure bereft Meirivone that ‘everything will be alright, with one person urging her, ‘talk to him, try to get through this’.
Well, it seems that emperor Caligula married or had a relationship with his favorite horse, so why not this?
Woodchuck,
Why be judgmental? Maybe the horse was hot…asking for it.
Are we not living in Clown World?
It makes a lot of sense to me. Marcelo was probably cheating. The fact that he is just so quiet and doesn’t have much to say. Can you imagine? I would just be like I know you are thinking about someone else right now and I’m not going to be ok with it right now let me see your phone! We really need to try to put ourselves in others’ shoes to attempt to comprehend what they are going through.
An able bodied Norwegian man had decided to be a disabled woman.
And Oli London has found God and is no longer a Korean woman. Is this not proof of God?
One of my favorite Night Gallery episodes was about an Indian sorcerer who sent a killer doll to the English officer who had executed his brother back in India. The officer knew he was doomed – in other words he believed in the occult because he had seen it in India. Before the doll got him (it could not be destroyed until it had completed its mission), he found an Indian dollmaker in London to make a similar one for the sorcerer.
I went to a public event recently.
I noticed the few listeners were teen agers, I guess. I was asked to leave by a teacher? in a rainbow mask.
I did not say I identify as a 13 year old blond.
Mary talked about teaching art to disadvantaged children in L.A.
I asked: So they were minority children?
Mary: I didn’t say minority children.
Jarek: So there were White children present?
Mary: Silence.
Your strange post reminds me of this strange little dialogue.
Another dialogue 100% made up in your head.
I didn’t teach art. I did murals for low-income schools in Los Angeles.
Are you fucking retarded?
All Blacks and Browns in the murals, right?
You are a piece of work.
Why do you stalk women, Jarek?
Public property they have no right to ask you to leave.
The phone would have come out as soon as the freak approached me, and the recording would begin.
First question out of my mouth would be who are you and why are you talking to me?
Then I would have told the liberal teacher to mind her own business then asked her what she was afraid of me hearing.
Really, sounds like a scheme to make it big on TIkTok.
Heads up to all those “there is no such thing as a virus” folks:
httpXX://igorchudov.substack.com/p/viruses-do-not-exist-was-a-psyop
Enjoy!
Jung said that such things are simply our version of evil spirits. That’s not to say they don’t exist. Maybe they do – as evil spirits.
Virus deniers? Wow!
I dont deny but I was told by them ‘polio is from DDT’.
No shit it’s a psy ops! It’s an infuriating one, to boot.
It’s meant to divert people from the very real existence of 300+ gain-of-function bioweapons labs still hard at work trying to come up with a pathogen that the human immune system cannot fight.
It’s a million years of evolution vs mad scientists paid by evil billionaires.
Sooner or later they’ll come up with something more effective.
And in the meantime their potential victims are saying “Squirrel!”

Oli London was on with Tucker but left out the earlier part of the story: He was initially trying to look as much as possible like his idol Jimin, a male Kpop star who had dyed his hair blonde.
I think Candace Own is probably correct anent the hapless Oli. He’s now trying to be a Detransitioning star. Always trying to be the Next Thing, soon – if not already – he will be nothing at all. And worse, it will be obvious and only invoke horror, not fascination per se.
Anglin
After Dave Chappelle’s appearance on Saturday Night Live over the weekend, wherein he said Ye is right about the Jewish domination of the entertainment industry, Jonathan Greenblatt, head of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, called for Chappelle to be shut down.
The aggressive Jew Greenblatt claimed that Chappelle had hurt Jewish feelings by talking about Jewish political and cultural power, saying that hearing that Jews control Hollywood “traumatizes” Jewish people. Greenblatt demanded that more people care about the hurt feelings of the Jews.
Many people have noted in response to Greenblatt that the Jews are the single richest and most powerful group on earth, and suggested that it is inappropriate for the people who completely dominate society to claim they are above criticism because criticism hurts their feelings.
It is certainly a new and bizarre situation to have the rulers of society saying that people cannot criticize them or hold them accountable for decisions that they make that affect everyone because it hurts their feelings.
Let’s create an analogy, in bullet point format:
It is the Middle Ages, and a King is being called out for poor leadership and decision-making that is viewed by many as harmful to the population of the Kingdom.
The King responds by claiming he is not the King.
His critics say “of course you’re the King – you live in the castle, you are wearing a crown, you command the military.”
The King responds by using his powers as King to financially ruin all of the people questioning him, then states that the fact that he used official powers to destroy his critics is proof that he is not really the King.
Various people in the Kingdom continue to voice concern about the official decisions the King is making, and he then responds by saying that his critics are hurting his feelings, as when people criticize him it causes him trauma.
This is clearly unreasonable.
The claim by the Jews that they do not control everything is utterly absurd, and it is not taken seriously by any serious people. It is very easily verifiable that the government, the financial sector, the news media, the entertainment industry, and the academy (among other power centers) are completely under the control of the Jews. It’s not debatable.
Therefore, the conversation that we are actually having is about what the Jews do with this power. You simply cannot have a situation where the people in power are completely above all criticism – and when the explanation for why they are above criticism is that being criticized hurts their feelings, this entire situation becomes a kind of sick joke.
Imagine if Donald Trump or Joe Biden were to say that no one can criticize their leadership because it hurts their feelings and causes them trauma. Imagine people complained about inflation and Joe Biden said “I’m very sensitive and what you are saying causes me trauma,” then demanded that the person who said it pay him $500,000.
Apparently, some of the Jews realize how absurd this situation is, because on the whole, there is not much being said about the Chappelle SNL monologue.
CNN did a segment on the “controversy” on Monday, bringing out a Jew woman who claimed to be friends with Chappelle and a fan of his.
The Jew woman commented on Chappelle’s claim that Jews were taking out their supposed historical oppression on black people, and said “Jews are not blaming black people for the Holocaust.” This is a ridiculous take, because Jews are claiming outright that they are above any and all criticism, completely – including criticism from black people – because of the alleged Holocaust. When the Jews are destroying the lives of Ye or Kyrie Irving, they are saying that they have a right to destroy the lives of their critics because of the Holocaust. Whether or not the Jews are actually blaming the blacks for the Holocaust is irrelevant, because they are saying that blacks have to be sanctioned and prevented from speaking because of the Holocaust. The difference between blaming someone for something and punishing them for something is unimportant, and it is a strange distinction to make at all.
Overall, however, neither CNN nor this Jew woman went very hard against Chappelle. Apparently, there are some cooler heads than Jonathan Greenblatt behind the scenes saying that continuing to destroy the lives of black celebrities for criticizing Jews is just going to lead to more black celebrities coming out and criticizing Jews. They are creating a feedback loop.
The problem is, if they do not “cancel” Chappelle for saying what he said, more people – blacks in particular – are going to feel comfortable coming out and speaking their mind on this issue.
The Jews have endorsed collective responsibility for white people. We were all held personally responsible for the supposed actions of Officer Derek Chauvin. Jews are claiming that they are all just random individuals, and that effectively, there is no such thing as “the Jews.” But we all saw them label whites a collective, and attempt to sic the blacks on white people for their alleged collective behavior.
What the blacks seem to be saying now is that yes, there is a group that is oppressing them in exactly all of the ways that the Jewish media has claimed whites are oppressing them – but it’s not white people doing it.
This is Going Somewhere
All of this public talk about the Jews is clearly building up to something. The Jews are no doubt attempting to figure out a “final solution” to black people, while it feels like the entire black entertainment industry – at least everyone who is not a gangster rapper with murder charges hanging over his head – is going to come out and start talking about this.
Unlike white people, many blacks view financial success as less important than personal honor. The technique that the Jews are using against the blacks – taking their money and careers away – is a technique designed for white people. Blacks are much more likely to get emotional and incensed when slighted, and forget about their money, like “YO FUGG U NIGGA WHAT.”
The Jews were always playing with fire when they declared that blacks were totally above criticism and that everything they said was to be taken as informed fact. Now they’re saying that there is one single thing that the blacks are always wrong about, and that is criticism of Jewish people.
These are fateful dynamics, and it is clearly leading to some kind of blowup.
What a time to be alive.
Jarek: As ever, Greek clarity from Anglin. Remember Nancy and the rest of them wearing kente cloth scarves and taking a knee in the Capital in honor of George Floyd and Black America? Blacks were officially made into gods – all of them via the Sacrificed Son, George Floyd. Now the gods are taking issue with the Jews. Who are we supposed to believe? We’re just confused white sheep – or at least most of you are.
Is the Jewish owned media going to say, We were wrong – they suck? They can’t. This is one of their main pillars in the new Temple. If it is pulled down, it will fall. So they must remain silent as the Blacks savage them – giving them the Medicine of Truth that they and us so desperately need.
There are powerful Whites, yes. They are with the Jewish establishment as INDVIDUALS. Just as some Irishmen rose high in the Mob – but could never become made men in the Italian Mafia. They were there under the auspices of some Made man, some Italian Mafia boss. Just so the Whites in today’s America.
Well said, J, and Anglin just about nails it.
Just look at the movies and TV. The blacks are now Gods to be worshipped by Whites.
‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’
‘Queen Ramonda, Shuri, M’Baku, Okoye and the Dora Milaje fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with Nakia and Everett Ross to forge a new path for their beloved kingdom.’
But whites can’t fight for their ‘kingdom’, it’s too evil, too racist, say the Woke.
It’s a very interesting description of the situation. I think this is a very constructive conversation that we need to let unspool. Sometimes I wonder if I may be white on the outside and black on the inside. I do ponder that at different points.
“They are with the Jewish establishment as INDVIDUALS. ”
Yes, I dated a guy in college, ueber-Wasp, who after college managed to get a job with one of the private German Jewish investment banks in NYC.
It was kind of hilarious, because he was a token wasp, and kind of realized that these Jews were even more snobbish than a Boston Brahmin wasp, and he would never really be accepted by them.
Aside from being hilarious, though, it was a truly interesting psycho-social dynamic: the wasp kind of lionizing these Jews because it was kind of transgressive and the anecdotes were good dinner party fodder (and, truth be told, this guy was very, confident of his position within the Boston wasp hierarchy) and his employers no doubt seeing him as a prize token and perhaps source of interesting financial connections and expanded customer base, while maintaining a very clear awareness that a wasp can never be a Jew, especially not a German American Jew.
What was the name of the old President of Boston University – the Kantian scholar with one arm? I think he married into the Tribe and ended up saying much the same thing some time later.
But at the level of high finance (higher than your friend), they did intermarry successfully as per the Trumps and Chelsea Clinton. That paved the way of the Federal Reserve Act and all that has come since.
It’s real simple, actually. America is all about making money. Who controls the money? Nay, who was empowered to make it out of nothing via the Federal Reserve Act? If you know who, then what is your issue? Ultimately, given the nature of America as stated above, all our institutions were destined to be reshaped by them since they control the essence of America – money.
Of Course the Academy lost any of its remaining sacred character, becoming just another business. Of course the Churches were corrupted, any that accepted tax free status at least.
It had already begun before this Act of course. This was just the coup de grace. Our WASP forefathers sold us out. Being money grubbers themselves, they surrendered to those who were better at it. No honor whatsoever. Just wanted to make more money for themselves and their families.
Very good points! And the money has the pyramid with the eye on it. So the money is stamped with the true god of the empire. But they still say In God We Trust as maybe some sort of acknowledgement of the original WASPs. They’ll remove that soon though as they no longer need to even acknowledge the WASPs. In fact they’re removing all of their statues and everything.
do you read the J journal?
The purpose of life is to make money. All APPARENT injustices are not in fact injustices at all. To believe so is to deny the Invisible Hand which smooths and soothes, and wipes every fevered brow. Those who are not so comforted? They are vermin destined for hell as Calvin said. Or genetic degenerates destined for extinction. Thus the old and the new joined hands in America!
One can easily see the logic of joining with the Rothschilds – for any who had any moral doubts at all (very few I imagine). Not to join them would have been the sin against prosperity – which is a sign of divine favor, is it not?
No doubt similar doubts were justified by those in the Vatican who joined them a century or so earlier. How can we save souls without resources? And if this is the way to get those resources, is it not justified? Hell, we’ll probably end up converting them! Yeah, like hell you did.
Yes, shake hands with the Invisible Hand or shake hands with the devil.
‘ deny the Invisible Hand ‘
If you can’t see or measure the hand at work it does not exist. But never mind that, we now are resource constrained and the market is not free.
You know ‘the market’ is not free because 50% of inflation is from corporations raising prices above and beyond material and labor costs. If there is an invisible hand the hand is failing at price discovery.
I think the only invisible hand is yours when you are having private time with the lights off.
‘The purpose of life is to make money’
I don’t agree.
Contentment comes not so much from great wealth as from few wants. — Epictetus
The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away. — Marcus Aurelius
Riches have shut off many a man from the attainment of wisdom. Poverty is unburdened and free from care. When the trumpet sounds, the poor man knows that he is not being attacked. When there is a cry of ‘Fire,’ he only seeks a way of escape, and does not ask what he can save — Seneca
And if that trifecta is not enough, I’ll remind you our host is not a fan of unearned riches.
The old Kdog would have known I was speaking as if another.
How many have you had? What is your NUMBER!?
People who believe in the invisible hand are jackoffs. I was parodying them by conflating it with grace.
The old K-Dog knew you were Harcourt Fenton Mudd in another life.
Why did you come back if you’re not willing to engage in honest conversation and debate?

Why call out Keith when there are so many who post on here that are not here for honesty or debate?
What number, do you mean my sleep number?
There was life before there was money.
I saw more of the man last night than the money. Trump has been pilloried, nearly drawn and quartered, sucker punched, sapped, kicked in the nuts, stomped, beaten like a dog, whipped like a lowly slave, and what does he do? He gets up and says, ‘that all you got’?
Hail the Golden Gladiator of Gotham! NYC street fighter, counter puncher extraordinaire!
Breaching that high, woke wall will be difficult. Two years, anything can happen.
He’s back!! I’m super excited to be honest with you. He seemed to have a very serious and somber tone last night. You can’t make deals with some people
He was right on the money. Sad to say it SSL, but as of now I don’t think he can win. Maybe no Republican can win, facing the Woke Monster.
Here’s another chance, however. Two years to get better with the voter turnout, two more years to expose the rot.
He busted the fuckers up; they tried their best to put him and his family down, but they just couldn’t do it. You wonder what they have in mind now.
Maybe he’s not the brightest bulb in the bunch, but his heart is in the right place. He’s for the ‘old America’, not some progressive, poisoned, pathological ideation of it in pursuit of destructive globalist dreams.
Yes, the lord protects idiots and fools. Trump has always know this. It may be the only think he truly really knows, because using that principle to his advantage has defined his life.
Translated: Orange Man Bad
I am still waiting for a critique of Trump from a lefty that shows even a modest degree of nuance or understanding of his actual policies.
All soft serve or a hissy fit.
Well, he DID put the secret watermarks on his ballots, right? And he IS going to be ‘your president’ again, right? Gee…nothing to criticise here. Move on.
You continue to post this as if 99 percent of this board and the host do not believe the election was stolen.
LOL.
I know y’all don’t accept reality – not just on that but on so many, many other things. It’s how you guys roll. Such a fascinating group to observe. Fascinating…

Expecting a valid honest reasoned response from RL?
Has he ever produced one?
“Your basic insecurity is showing in your rapidly resorting to non sequitur responses. ”
I didn’t get any kind of response to my question as to whether fhe former Prince Charles was a conspiracy theorist when he announced his pet project – the Great Reset – at Davos.
I am about to read “Sapiens”. Until that was recommended to me, I’d never heard of the guy.
Now that I know he’s one of the WEF Bogeymen, whom you fear so much, I’ll be sure to have a look into him.

If a human is born with a penis so born with X and Y chromosomes.
See scientific definition below.
Two of the chromosomes (the X and the Y chromosome) determine your sex as male or female when you are born. They are called sex chromosomes: Females have 2 X chromosomes. Males have 1 X and 1 Y chromosome.
At thirteen said BOY decides no way I’m a GIRL.

Is this person now a girl?
Will you run away from this question?
I expect your response and frankly no response to be fascinating…..
Jeez, wee Ben. Resorting to ‘culture war’ tropes with which I have zero truck and with which I don’t engage. You & your ‘gotcha’ attempts are hilarious. What did I say above?
“I’m just an ordinary, moderate socialist-leaning father & grandfather.” This social dilemma doesn’t cross my orbit except when reading the weird & frankly disturbing stories you and a few others show so much interest in.
You, however, should read this (though you won’t…)

Moderate Socialist what a misnomer.
Is that the same as saying likeable mass murderer.
Nothing moderate about anything you have posted here.
Wee Ben…I guess I can just put your apparent stupidity down to your relative youth.
Either that or you’re just so triggered by anything I post, you can’t help but shit your pants and embarrass yourself by restating (yet again) the same old, same old blah, blah, blah.
C’mon, man! You can’t let me have the last word, surely?
Your short list of topics includes:

More FAIL for Fake Trae.
Ha ha! Wee ben – thanks. I had to look up “prison wallet”. Clearly, your experience is greater than mine, but you were ‘Navy’ after all…
Then QueerMary has to chime in (yawn) with more of the same predictable culture war carry-on.
I wouldn’t give you the satisfaction of agreeing with you on that one, Mary. Give yourself a rest, eat some bacon rind, get high, and find a man to fuck (callously, mercilessly, and with a bag over his head, of course).

Then it should be easy to answer the question, Rednut:
Can men become women?
It’s a yes or no question, quite easy.

Who happens to believe in transcending the human race, merging with tech., and leaving us flawed humans made in the image of God behind as the new Luciferian era dawns.

In your own time, Nut.
Wow I was 100% spot on.
You will NOT answer this.
Because you are culted.
You’re not allowed to answer YES or NO to the question: Can a man become a woman?
This is priceless.
TS
Is this a change of attitude on your part? If I recall correctly, some months ago you were giving him a good ol’ kick-in-the-guts.
Yeah, I was, said that he’d probably lose to Fetterman, but I couldn’t help admiring the fight in this guy.
TS, he’d probably lose to the proverbial “indicted ham sandwich”.
I didn’t see any ‘fight’ in Trump during that hour-long tirade of disappointment (in the US), lies (and plenty of them), the same old ‘poor me’ whining and promises that he has zero intention of keeping (even if he had the ability to do so).
Let’s face it – he’s ‘announced’ for several reasons which, as far as I can figure, are (in no particular order:
(1) to get out in front of De Santis, whom he fears more than anyone;
(2) to continue his ongoing grift on the muggins running around in their (Chinese-made) MAGA hats
(3) to argue that the DoJ cannot indict him as he’s ‘running’. I think he hasn’t received the memo that the legal ‘pause’ runs from two months prior to any election – which means he needs to keep his head down until the end of August 2024.
Going back to his grifting, TS, watch this:
youtube.com/watch?v=2T0itR71hdc&t=3s
He’s begging The faithful MAGAts for dosh for Herschel Walker, but unless you look deeper, you won’t discover that he’s keeping 90 cents in the dollar. What a fucking disgusting scam.
So desperate to get even one person to agree with you on anything.
This is hilarious.
There you go again!
As if I could give a flying fuck whether you agree or not.
In fact, if you DID agree, I’d have to reexamine the argument.
Care to actually refute anything stated above MaryQAnon? No, I didn’t think so.
Why argue with self-evident drivel?
That would be silly.
And, you never bother arguing anything we post when we prove you’re full of shit.
You just disappear.
Looks like Walker’s campaign is speaking out about it. This association with Trump and his tactics will hurt them both.
We can go back and forth about who grifted more, Trump or Biden, so what’s the use?
Okay, so call them both scumbags.
How many millions more invade the US across the Southern border, with two more years of Biden and maybe four more on top of that with any Democrat? 10 million? 20?
That issue alone makes me go Trump.
If current trends continue, it’s not much of a stretch to claim that in three decades or so, the number of illegals in this country could be greater than the white population. I mean really, f… that shit.
Yeah, why did he announce now? Good question.
You needn’t worry too much, I guess, Republicans have been losing the popular vote by millions. Electoral college is now the only way out.
It looks bad. NY Post says “Florida Man Makes Announcement” at bottom of the front page. Page 26.
He’s done.
KDog…I agree 100%. And the sooner Trump kicks the bucket, the better (Biden’ll probably beat him to it, however).
By natural means of course. May he develop a sweet tooth for high fructose corn syrup and begin enjoying a high fat diet to excess.
Well,
Contrary to what might seem as apparent, I am neither a serial lottery ticket purchaser, or suffer from not winning the last lottery. I only purchase tickets when they pay better than true odds…which is in the neighborhood of 600 million for one.
I think that they should have a new lottery game. Held monthly. Whatever the prize money would be, it would be divided up into one million dollar prizes, and drawings continued until the prize money is thus expended. The last, obscene prize would have accounted for 2000 new millionaires in the country (M/L). Helps the economy, helps the unwashed.
2000 new millionaires would not give two shits about the unwashed. 2000 new millionaires would build 10 brand new gated communities and look down on the unlucky. It would only be a matter of time.
On the up side if there is any. 2000 selected at random would represent the national demographic. Everyone behind the gates would get along. Rich lives matter. Kumbiyah.
1000000 is not what it used to be. Better make if 4 million and 500 people for two new gated communities.
@kieth
Are you kidding me the rich are terrible to each other as much as anyone else.
Old money is super nasty to new money.
I have worked for one and met more than one other billionaire, and rich people of all kinds. Some are nasty, some will act like you are not there unless they want something from you.
But some are kind.
Some know they can afford to be kind. Not many, and of those, they were not born rich.
Re climate change as cause of excess deaths this summer (but, what about the winter—oh, I guess that is whataboutism!!)
httpXX://dailysceptic.org/2022/11/16/ukhsa-chief-jenny-harries-attempts-to-blame-excess-deaths-on-climate-change/
The Daily Sceptic is a good source for news on covid- and climate-related lies, nonsense, and actual developments in the real world.
They started out a couple of years ago as Lockdown Sceptics. Run by Toby Young, a Brit, so with UK emphasis, but not only. Also, nice sense of humor (check out the visual for the news rundown).
Wait a minute. The BBC and DW were telling us that gardening, showering, and sleeping in the wrong position were responsible for all of these cardiovascular events.
Now it is climate change?
I can’t keep up.
Next month cardiovascular events will be due to transphobia. You need to catch up soon.
You joke but I would put money on that happening – lol.
A good read. This is part three, but one can click around and find the rest:
“In part three of this series, we were introduced to the growth of modern liberalism and Malthusianism as the outgrowth of the core fundamental axioms contained in Newton and Locke’s philosophical descriptive systems of mankind and the universe. We explored some of the leading voices who resisted this liberal Malthusian paradigm of social engineering with particular attention paid to the figure of Abraham Lincoln’s trusted advisor Henry C. Carey. We ended that section by discussing a new innovative adaptation which Malthusianism and Newtonian mechanics took in the late 19th century under the label of “Entropy”- also known as “the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics”. This system was popularized by a mathematician named Rudolph Clausius and based itself on a sleight of hand that took the obvious properties of heat powered machines made by humans which necessarily tended towards heat death over time, and extended these properties to the entire universe. The outgrowth of the social application of this dismal theory of a dying universe took the form of a neo-Malthusianism called eugenics.”

Love this quote, too. Particularly in relation to a small band of depopulationists here that have a penchant for inversion:
Where Carey and his collaborators placed value on the power of human creative thought which gives the human species a unique power and duty to leap beyond the limits to growth in the process of acting as co-participants of universal creation, his enemies saw value in the worshipping of money and acquisition of property (which included other people).
Ehret is interesting when he is writing about the past, in particular, Canadian history.
Less so when he is prognosticating about the future.
Lmao. Night Owl is lapping up folks arguing that the second law of thermodynamics is part of the liberal conspiracy.
This is what happens when your roots are not deep, you flip from a Green to a Red-piller in a flush of excitement, and suddenly every problem on Earth has an easy answer right there in that intoxicating Red-pill bowl..
*sound of cuckoo clock clucking*
Full ad hom now.
I love it.
Accurately summarizing your post is not ad hom.
Conjectures about your personal path to the post are not ad hom.
Referencing a cuckoo clock is ad hom.
But, I’ve never railed against ad hom. A little ad hom is like salt, pepper and a lump of butter.
All you have to do is answer one question and the pointing and laughing can stop.
But you cannot answer it.
LOL.
Tired territory. Let’s get back to how the second law of thermodynamics is liberal conspiracy.
You can tell us how.
Then follow up with your calculation on the earth’s “carrying capacity.”
You know so much more than the rest of us, you see.
IN other words, you think it’s unlimited. Very well. Argue that. Make your case.
Crickets, right?
Agree with Jarek on this one. If you are claiming the earth is not overpopulated, please do show YOUR work.
Then you can prove to all of us just how wrong we are.
Why wouldn’t you want to do that?
Gus, EVERYTHING is a liberal conspiracy to Night-Howler-Monkey. He’s a hammer in a field of nails.

“The psychology of conspiracy beliefs:
What psychological function does believing in conspiracy theories have for perceivers, and how is this relevant in crisis situations? Conspiracy theories provide people with simplified answers, specifically to questions of how a certain crisis situation emerged, and which societal actors can and cannot be trusted. These answers are highly relevant for how people cope with crisis situations.
Crisis situations are likely to have the psychological effect on people that they become uncertain or feel that they cannot control their environment anymore. Conspiracy theories address these feelings by enabling precautionary actions to the alleged conspirators—leading to increased vigilance that may be useful in exposing, combating, or avoiding the conspiracy. Put differently, a conspiracy theory helps people to make sense of the world by specifying the causes of important events, which further helps them predict, and anticipate, the future. Hofstadter (1966) noted that conspiracy theories help people comprehend complex events that are difficult to understand otherwise, by attributing these events to a powerful and evil enemy group. More generally, a desire to make sense of the world is a core motive underlying belief in conspiracy theories (see also Bale, 2007). Such sensemaking is particularly likely to stimulate conspiracy beliefs in a social context that involves hostile or ideologically dissimilar outgroups. Such a competitive intergroup setting promotes a need to be vigilant, given that the powerful outgroup may cause more harm in the future, and conspiracy beliefs enable perceivers to estimate what the outgroup is capable of.”
But, of course, they WOULD say that, wouldn’t they?

OMG did you un-ironically post this for real?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
Your hollow laughter makes it so satisfying…
That was a full belly laugh, toots.
Thanks for the yuks.
Doesn’t matter how an idea is perceived or labeled (“confirmed science,” “debunked idea,” “conspiracy theory,” “self-evident truth,” “common sense”).
All that matters is how close to actual truth it comes.
Some conspiracy theories are true, some are not, some are caught inbetween.
As Whitney Webb and others have pointed out, conspiracies exist. The definition of “conspiracy” is quite simple.
American Heritage Dictionary:
“1. An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.
2. A group of conspirators.
3. Law An agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime or accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action.”
Any crime committed by more than one person is probably rightly labeled a conspiracy.
One of the great propaganda successes of TPTB has been the welding together of the word “conspiracy” with “theory.”
To the extent that many people who don’t know what “conspiracy” means think they know what “conspiracy theory” means. That is, they don’t realize that the concept of “conspiracy” actually has an independent meaning that doesn’t involve any theories or theorists. .
Mark Crispin Miller covers this very well, e.g. at the very start of this interview on propaganda (a couple of minutes in):
“2020 – A Propaganda Masterpiece”
archive.org/details/PropagandaMasterpiece/4.+2020+%E2%80%93+A+Propaganda+Masterpiece+-+Mark+Crispin+Miller+(2021).mp4
After being called a ‘conspiracy theorist’, following publication (and tanking) of his book on election fraud in 2004, he researched the history of the use of the phrase. Makes interesting listening.
I know the CIA coined it, and what a brilliant move that was. Just simply label everyone a nutter who ever asks questions about the (mostly ridiculous) official stories the people in power concoct.
When the CIA tells you sh*t flows upstream, you’re only obliged to question “how fast?”
Yes, exactly what Night Owl is doing now: Mockery of the Truth.
Poor Redneck.
“Not waving but drowning … “
Indeed.
Imagine believing that (per Islander’s def), no one high up in government or business ever agrees to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.
“The poem describes a drowning man whose frantic arm gestures are mistaken for waving by distant onlookers. On a less literal level, the poem speaks to the isolation and pain of being misunderstood and is a kind of parable about the distance between inner feelings and outward appearance.”
Oh, really? Please, GA..!
You’re welcome.
At least he had to learn about a bit of literature if nothing else.
Put differently, when TPTB tell you bullshit about an event that defies the laws of physics, looking into the activities of powerful people with an agenda helps make better sense of the event.
When TPTB respond by telling you that powerful people never work together to make plans or to carry out operations, only the terminally stupid would believe them.
Also “making sense” is bad, as is “researching”.
Whatever you do, do NOT read or think for yourself. Adult education is also bad. Just listen to what your owners tell you, internalize it and repeat it.
That is doubleplus good.
Target Reports $400M Loss In Profits Amid Rampant Crime
HAHAHAH go woke go broke.
I hate target damn near worst store ever.
I will throw a party if Target goes under.
UPDATED 4:36 PM PT – Wednesday, November 16, 2022
The corporation, Target, saw major profit losses this year due to theft and looting.
Target is being hit hard by thieves.
2022 theft from stores so far: $400 million
How do you think about that?
Target has 1,938 stores
Through Oct. 29 (3 quarters), that’s:
> $685 in theft per store per day
A lot. That’s not a few deodorants or Advils slipped into pockets.
— (((Charles Fishman))) (@cfishman) November 16, 2022
According to the Chief Financial Officer of Target Michael Fiddelke, the company’s gross profit margin is already down 400 million so far this year compared to 2021.
The CFO noted that Target is not the only retailer experiencing a rise in theft by saying that it is a trend that’s gotten increasingly worse over the last year-and-a-half.
Meantime, Target is expecting to lose more than $600 million by the end of the year.
Too dumb – basic economics says that probably as much as half of that loss has been pinched by employees, and you do know, don’t you, that ‘shrinkage’ is insurable?
Come on now no employees ever steal!
Last two years in the NAVY I moonlighted in the Home Depot paint department and they constantly talked about shrink or employee theft.
I can tell you I caught customers stealing at least once a week and was told to do nothing about it more than once.
I was written up for confronting a homeless guy stuffing aa batteries down his pants and these were the big even then expensive packs.
The grift was steal a dozen or so at a time and bring them back in as returns and these were still ten bucks a pack back then.
My local VONS (GROCERY STORE) lost a million in alcohol thefts in six months.
The homeless stole multiple bottles and sold them for ten dollars to the high school kids.
So, while employee theft might be a thing it is nowhere near what you allege, and they have cameras everywhere.
They ignore customer theft for the most part here in California specifically but employees stealing get fired.
An employee is 100% more likely to be fired for a tiny theft than the thugs walking out with $900 worth of booze. True.
I have a part time job doing store logistics. Unloading trucks and stocking shelves.
Nobody likes ‘ROACHES’. How can anybody responsible enough to hold down a job appreciate a freeloader. Sometime I would rather not like to work, but you do what you have to do.
They are in every day and some of my fellow employees even mistake people who are just in the store to get some time for themselves to be thieves, they get so sour.
We can’t confront them in any way. But we can get into customer service mode. Be helpful, ask them what they are looking for.
Following with a feather duster or rag cleaning shelves works too. They usually just set down what they are carrying and leave the store.
Employee shrinkage is supposed to be a big deal, but I can’t imagine it is at our store. We seem to hire people who are into working for a living and doing their job. The job does not include biting the hand that feeds you.
Ah the old feather duster routine.
It was fun to get a couple of different departments in on the following them around and dusting act up to almost feather dusting them but not quite.
Yes, it pissed me off to no end when I caught people stealing and worse from areas, I was responsible for stocking.
Also, don’t a lot of stores give discounts to their employees? The local Stop & Shop does. I expect that some employees buy food for others.
You try and try but only succeed in making yourself look like a fool.
It would be hilarious, if this wasn’t engineered to get people to beg for more ‘security’ in the form of cameras and police. Just watch.
So, California specifically will not prosecute anyone unless they steal over $800.
I have read more memes regarding paying for stuff at self-checkouts or not.
A far as cameras go they are already everywhere.
The stores typically tell people to ask suspicious people if they are finding everything and to hang around but do not engage beyond that.
.
Yep I think it’s $900 though, actually.
The guy who fixed my fireplace said that he worked high level security for a WalMart back in CA.
The thieves thumbed their noses at him while they walked out with loaded carts. He was not allowed to do anything. The cops won’t arrest because they’ll spend hours doing paperwork and the perp will just walk.
Back in 2020 during the BLM & Antifa riots Target was one of first corporations that announced they were “Down with the struggle,” then donated millions to the cause — straightaway their flagship store in Minneapolis was looted & burned to the ground lol.
Yes, Target is getting hammered, but Community Members have taken a special interest in Louis Vuitton stores — a company also “Down with the struggle” — looting and flash mobbing them from Manhattan to Sacramento. I don’t see they’re still in business.
How do you like it now, Gentlemen?
I remember that Target they stripped it bare and burned it down.
I normally don’t condone such behavior but as you said Target deserves that and far more.
At Target my part time job would pay $16.93 an hour. I am getting $20.25 and have been doing this for a year. Target only has an employee discount as a benefit as far as I know. I have more than that.
Part of the reason I am paid more is because I am in Seattle and pay adjusts depending on the state you are in. It costs a lot to live here.
That is hilarious, BRH. Good memory, too.
The community members are movin’ on up to high-priced jewelry stores, too. Why settle for spaghettios when you can have filet mignon?
Question for Rednut: Can men become women?
Yes or no.
Your tribe says they can. Are you able to disagree with the cult?
Let’s see.
He won’t answer you as he is here to stir the muck not get pinned down by the ridiculous Democrat party planks they push around as truths.
He’s extra wound up today. Funny stuff.
It’s not as if there are any liberals here who can report on him; and yet he still won’t betray the Media Matters crowd by admitting that men can’t become women. That is high level brainwashing right there.
When did you stop voting?
When will you stop stalking women?
What a weird response. Have you ever voted? Or was it all beneath you because it was imperfect?
When will you stop abusing women?
Guru Harari says procreation is no longer cool, and that the age of humans and “free will” is over.
Therefore the concept of male and female is “irrelevant.”
Point to Redfoil.
I watched the local news tonite (rare for me). Target and its profits or lack thereof, was the lead. Big box is dead. No mention of WalMart but it’s headquartered in Bentonville, down the suthern way. Ssme thing. Employee theft and lots o greed among the minion shoppers. A failed business model. Bring on the farmer’s market!
That may be why Walmart is investing a lot to increase its online sales.
Tar-zhay pursued the upscale discount vibe – very Minnetonkanish. WalMart’s always been a bottom feeder – very Ar-Kansasish – and so likely gives a fuck less. They’ll just cut staff hours and wages and lock down or eliminate the high theft stuff altogether.
They also have a lot of variance among their stores. Go to the southside of Santa Fe (upscale) and you’ll find a store that out competes Tar-zhay just up the road. Clean, neat, and pleasant.
Go to Espanola (decidedly downscale) and you’ll get a shopping experience so downscale that you don’t dare go after dark for fear of getting jacked on your way back out to the car. Loud, dirty, and totally indifferent to the customers, including shakedowns before you leave.
I should add, Tar-zhay, quite wisely, wouldn’t go within 100 miles of Espanola.
Walmarts here in San Diego dirty and scuzzy people.
With some serious nasty attitudes only store I have ever almost got in a brawl in.
It was one of those events you see in worldstarhiphop and wonder where this trash come from and how do these idiots just start wailing away on each other.
Went to a wallyworld in Idaho and was shocked at how clean and well stocked it was.
Same with Walmart’s in Virginia huge well stocked but not as nice as some of the other grocery chains like Harris Tetter or Wegmans.
Blood will tell, ben. But will you listen?
@ benr:
Since I live in BFE, the Walmarts nearest me are clean and well stocked, and the people who shop there are friendly and courteous.
From Martin Armstrong, to the “voting Virgins” (“It might hurt”):
httpXX://www.armstrongeconomics.com/product/the-politics-the-us-midterms-nobody-will-accept/
“Our computer was correct – there would be no red wave. The report ($14.95) provided our Timing Arrays forecasting politics out for 12 years. The Republicans would take the House but not the Senate for this would be an extremely tight election due to the corruption. The whole point of the press calling for a red tidal wave was to make sure Republicans felt their vote was not needed so why bother? That was a strategy to keep that up in the press. I saw the same tactic was used to get Jimmie Carter elected. I remember that well for even I concluded it was so overwhelming I did not vote – they didn’t need me. Then you woke up with a surprise nobody expected.”
LOL
If I had voted, it would have been for independents or libertarians running against both D&R.
How would you have liked that?
“How would you have liked that?”
You are so off the track with your retorts.
It’s funny.
I don’t care how you vote. Just vote.
The fewer people vote the easier it is to swing an election.
That is surely why the shenanigans go on in the swing states. In Mass it in a sense doesn’t matter how I vote because I do not vote blue but the blue majority is assured. For now. I vote anyhow, to weaken the Bule mandate and to make sure TPTB in Mass. know that ca 1/3 of the voters are critical of them.
But states do change their spots. That is the point of Armstrong’s note. As I said, i found the Idahaha ballot and results quite interesting. Lots more parties out there!
Texas used to be a Democratic stronghold (remember Johnson? He ran Texas for the Roosevelt Dems with an iron fist). Nixon sent George Bush the Elder to Texas to turn it Republican. Very interesting account provided in Robert Bryce’s Cronies: Oil, the Bushes, and the Rise of Texas. That is way the so-called Conn. Yankee George Bush went down to Texas.
He more or less succeeded. So now we think of Texas as being “red.” Whether we like the outcome or not, people voting is one of the factors (along with who knows what kinds of cheating by both sides) that changed the political complexion of Texas and that changes some other state to purple. (Texas is, actually, enormously important. So is Florida, though not as important as Texas. Read the Bryce book—a great read. ) The more people vote, the clearer the winning margin, the harder it is to cheat.
I am amazed at people who will actually pay money to do the Powerball game and will not go to the voting place and vote, which is free, because they think it is a “game” they can’t win. As Armstrong points out, getting people to stay home is a psy=op.
Or the sports betting model: People don’t want to bet on the wrong candidate. They want to be winners!
Is this why Mary doesn’t vote?
That is an apt description of human nature not just a flaw of Mary.
There is also a pretty strong what is the point when most of what you vote for is turned over in partisan court rulings.
California prop 8 comes to mind it passed by a fair majority and was overturned.
One of the worst scumbags in DC getting her just rewards for a life of scamming and grifting.
She also famously demanded people publicly accost Republicans and specifically Trumps cabinet members.
Yeah this nasty bitch deserves public scorn and ridicule.
Would be really nice if by the ned of it she was sitting on a street corner in a stained pair of sweatpants and a hoody begging for change offering up some knobber action for a quarter a pop.
All she has is but but but some on the other side did it as well!
Ain’t nothin’ on earth uglier than a 90-year-old white woman.

Maxine Waters dodges question on FTX, Democrat ties and claims ‘both sides’ got money
Kristen Altus – Yesterday 10:20 AM
With some Democrats deciding to re-commit funds from FTX donations towards charity or other party campaigns after the crypto exchange’s bankruptcy, Rep. Maxine Water, D-Calif., told FOX Business she doesn’t “want to get into that” topic.
Waters avoided reporter Hillary Vaughn’s question when asked if Democrats who received campaign cash from FTX should give it back, saying, “Well, I don’t want to get into that. As a matter of fact, both sides, Democrats and Republicans, have received donations. So thank you.”
The Chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee, however, did claim that lawmakers will be putting together a hearing to “explore exactly what has taken place” with FTX.
Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, was a major contributor to Democratic candidates during the midterm election cycle, funneling most of his donations through a little-known political action committee (PAC).
Overall, in 2021 and 2022, Bankman-Fried donated nearly $38 million to various candidates and PACs, mainly giving his cash to Democratic candidates and left-wing groups, according to Federal Election Commission filings (FEC). The majority of his political givings, though, went to the Protect Our Future PAC, a group founded in January that is dedicated to boosting candidates committed to preventing future pandemics.
Bankman-Fried wired an initial $9 million in February to the PAC shortly after it was created, FEC records showed. He then made three additional donations worth $18 million between March and June, increasing his total contribution to Protect Our Future PAC to $27 million.
The Daily Beast reached out to more than 25 lawmakers that received money and reported that some said they’ll give the money to charity. Other congressmen said they spent it to boost other Democratic candidates, and some didn’t reply at all.
Names of Democratic candidates that have received political contributions from FTX include Rep. Jesus Garcia, D-Ill., and Reps.-elect Morgan McGarvey of Kentucky, Maxwell Frost of Florida, Sydney Kamlager of California, Jonathan Jackson of Illinois, Nikki Budzinski of Illinois, Jared Moskowitz of Florida and Rob Menendez Jr. of New Jersey.
On Wednesday, Bankman-Fried was hit with a class-action lawsuit filed by investors alleging he and other high-profile celebrities – such as legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady and NBA star Stephen Curry – violated Florida law and made consumers suffer more than $11 billion in damages.
The lawsuit, which names “Sam Bankman-Fried, Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen, Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors, Shaquille O’Neal, Udonis Haslem, David Ortiz, William Trevor Lawrence, Shohei Ohtani, Naomi Osaka, Lawrence Gene David, and Kevin O’Leary,” seeks to make them “responsible for the many billions of dollars in damages they caused Plaintiff and the Classes and to force Defendants to make them whole.”
The suit describes the well-known celebrities as “all parties who either controlled, promoted, assisted in, and actively participated in FTX Trading and FTX US (collectively, the ‘FTX Entities’), offer and sale of unregistered securities in the form of yield-bearing accounts (YBAs) to residents of the United States.”
The next two years should be really interesting as the grid lock sets in to include refusal to raise the debt ceiling and refusal to fund the gubbermint!
Might be better if the government was defunded for a couple of months.
I need to go to Costco or Sams club and buy the mega size Orville Redenbacher’s Popcorn this is going to get really good.
You know the five pound plastic jug of it!
I just picked up an air fryer and by golly it has a popcorn setting with zero oil needed.
Now I can really lube it up with butter and salt!!!
Yum!
“Let the Republican committee begin with zero Democrats on it as they set the tone for this let them reap the whirlwind!”
Yet another outright misrepresentation of the facts.
Liz Cheney was not a Republican she was a DEMOCRAT that ran as a Republican!
Worse this bitch voted to impeach Trump on zero crime as had everyone else on this kangaroo committee and you know it.
Everyone on that worthless committee had an axe to grind and had already screamed they hated TRUMP and would do anything to get rid of him.
No misrepresentation at all.
It would be great to see her go down but she is small potatoes. I want to see the big guys go down.
Of course, that’s not gonna happen.
This is how they operate. They get people all riled up over some low-level bagman, like Waters, as scapegoat. Then they continue their grift, moving onto the next laundering scheme.
“NEW – Chuck Schumer calls for amnesty for ‘all 11 million’ undocumented migrants in the US because the American population “is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to.”
https://twitter.com/PrisonPlanet/status/1593168297478205440?cxt=HHwWgMDR6YSIiZwsAAAA
Muh overpopulation!
LOL.
11 hahahah been the same stupid number since Ronnie got suckered into amNASTY with the promise of Congress fixing the issue.
That number is off by at least 20 million by now.
Forty years later same issues nothing ever done.
We got more than enough people a big fat no Schmuck Schumer!
You were against illegal immigration before you were for it and then renaming it, so it was not so offensive or correct.
One of the biggest assholes in DC another person deserving of street corner and filthy sweatpants and a handwritten sign begging for your street change. That would certianly be more honest than the wholesale robbery he has been engaged in for the last several decades.
This is also what they have been telling the Krauts for years, right before Merkel opened the doors to an unlimited number of unskilled migrants.
Many listened. For the earth, of course.
Now they are replaced with low-skill slaves.
For the earth.
Having 2.1 kids maintains the population. Everyone having as many as possible leads to disaster – as per the Irish potato famine. This happened in a closed system without immigration.
There is no mystery. Mystery mongers like you try to create confusion in the weak minded.
Now he will say I’m in favor of open borders. There always has to be a crisis. Stability is boring to these people. Crisis is exciting – and a way to make money!
The triumph of Quantity over Quality.

More on the FTX fiasco. Titus also says that it is the biggest story of the year – by far:
John Titus on Jerm Warfare with Jeremy Nell – 14 November 2022
https://tntradiolive.podbean.com/e/john-titus-on-jerm-warfare-with-jeremy-nell-14-november-2022/
Listened to Tom Luongo’s podcast on FTX. Saying it’s some kind of orchestrated takedown of and opportunistic fleecing of (non-bitcoin) crypto by traditional finance/govt interests. Combined with Dem money-laundering, and perhaps some personal greed by Sam Bankfried thrown in icing the cake.
Dem-UKRAINE-money laundering.
Bankman-Fried was the second-largest individual donor to Democratic causes in the 2021–2022 election cycle, with total donations of $39.8 million
Contributions for the year 2022, through August 15, 2022, also went to members of both parties, with $105,000 donated to conservatives (0.3%) and $35,872,000 to liberals (99.7%)
CFN’rs,…EV News;
The Situational Awareness, this AM, reports on the pending infra-structure build out for maintaining the EV Sunami soon to reach our shores….
ENERGY REQUIREMENTS FOR EV ADOPTION UNDERESTIMATED: A study conducted by National Grid Plc. found that electrifying a typical highway gas station for passenger EVs would require as much power as a professional sports stadium. The study also found the projected power needs for a truckstop servicing electric Semi trucks would be the same as a small town. Currently, infrastructure to accommodate EVs and electric trucks lags behind their availability on the market.
Well, our electric grid is robust…right? What could it take? How many “typical highway gas stations” are there anyway? Dozens?…maybe a hundred? Where is the American “Can Do” spirit?
A level 3 fast charger can give a Tesla an 80% charge in about 40 minutes. I don’t want to be at a gas station that long. Everything I have seen says the electric grid will not need a lot of new capacity. That presumes most charging is at night.
But not to worry, the world has nowhere near enough lirhium to power all the electric vehicle (EV) batteries it wants and needs. Global reserves are sufficient to produce just under 2.5 billion EV batteries. There is only enough lithium to produce up to 14 million EVs in 2023 and it takes years to get a lithium mine working.
That is an assumption that lithium batteries will only be used in cars forgetting phones, tablets, kindles, laptops in fact the lithium hunger is endless.
I read that NASA has come up with a new battery made from other material.
The truth is the matter is the green new disaster and build back broke is not going so will for Joe and the DEMOCRATS.

Dang it. I tried to answer the Fauci boot lickers above and my comment got sent to moderation purgatory. So I’m reposting it here.
Omigod, John isn’t paranoid, he got covid. It is a real virus.
It is a corona virus which was altered in a gain-of-function bioweapons lab.
Anyone who denies this is a Fauci bootlicker, falling for a psy ops designed to take people with short attention spans minds off the very real danger of allowing these muthafuckers to continue releasing pathogens that they have altered to be more transmissable and/or virulent.
Focus, people, focus! Shut down the labs or continue to be attacked with bioweapons and “vaccines”.
w.jeremyrhammond.com/2022/08/26/misinformation-sars-cov-2-whole-genome-sequencing/
Yes!
As you all know, I watch Arizona which posts once a week. Over the past three weeks, new cases from 4500 to 7200 to 10400. Deaths, just the same , around 35. What happens next? .???
Our mistake IMHO is traveling to an area that might have different micro world than what we are used to. Also, customs was a poorly regulated way overcrowded mess in PV.
I, for one, do not believe that the mutations and evolution of this coronavirus is by natural causes. Way too fast. This is an engineered mistake.
Shut everyone of these labs down and kudos to Putin if he has in Ukraine.
I have believed for years that Mankind should not be messing with DNA and viruses. Who knows what could develop? Is Covid just a warning shot?
Yes, the “variants” are releases of newly manipulated viruses.
They are not natural mutations. The epidemiology doesn’t work.
They can’t create a whole new virus, they have to tinker with existing ones. So far, humans have been able to fight them off, although the anthrax attacks of 2001, using a GMO anthrax bioweapon, were quite lethal also.
If Americans had any brains and ability to focus, the anthrax attacks should have been their cue to rise up and demand the end of the bioweapons labs.
Instead they all waved flags as the US attacked Afghanistan.
Too Stupid To Live.
I do know that anthrax is a bacteria, not a virus, by the way, in case anyone felt the need to correct me.
They are trying to weaponize every pathogen possible, including malaria, which is a protozoa.
They also are working on chemical weapons, although both chemical AND biological weapons are banned by a treaty that the US signed in 1972.
We are ruled by criminals.
He’s jabbed, Paula.
Why are mostly jabbed people the ones getting sick and dropping dead of SADS.
The injectable GMO spike protein is also quite dangerous.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t a GMO virus being spread.
It also doesn’t mean they aren’t just spraying some sort of chemical or poison.
It’s not as if anyone is checking.
Here is how this works:
When they tell you there is a virus, you tell them to show you the virus.
When they cannot, you question what they say.
This advice will take you far.
Just got a meet-up message from a couple of former colleagues I haven’t seen for ages. They ignored me when I told them what happened to my husband (they expressed sympathy but didn’t acknowledge what I said about the vaxx). They also didn’t acknowledge my message about Peter McCullough’s myocarditis article with Jessica Rose being pulled by the publisher we all worked for.
Now one of them has chronic fatigue syndrome. No dots joined, needless to say. Another adverse reaction not on the Yellow Card system – not that it would matter, since they are studiously ignoring the reports anyway.
Plus, no one knows what people are getting since there isn’t a test for Covid19 and never has been.
I guess maybe I’m finally getting banned from here or something. I can’t log in anymore but happened to have this tab opened where im still logged in but if I close it I think i will be locked out. Has this ever happened to anyone? My password has not changed or anything but it’s like I simply cannot log in anymore.
There are two potential issues. Have you pissed JHK off or did you piss off Homeland Security. I have experienced both issues and that explains why I am now paper trained.
Reboot your computer and clear your internet cache. Probably just queer-trons.
That’s happened to me a number of times, SSL. I mostly use my laptop for reading CFN, but almost always when I’ve been locked out I find out later that there’s a message on my phone telling me I need to log in (I don’t look at my phone much and it’s routinely got the sound off). I have no idea what this means – generally I just reboot and it goes back to normal, or try later. But in the meantime it tells me my username and password aren’t correct when they are. One of online life’s little mysteries.
Same.
Yup.
I have to login intermittently. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason why sometimes I stay logged in and others I’m booted out.
Also, yesterday I noticed that the site was down for awhile (again).
Yes I noticed that this morning. I hate it when you don’t realise you’re logged out until you try to submit a long-ish post that you haven’t copied!
Just go back a page, then copy.

Probably Jim is cracking down on people who type LOL too often. That’s my guess.
Ka-Zing! Looks like the Q.’s in top form today.
And look at you Dis. How you’re treating me. And I have always been so respectful to everybody. I hope you take joy in my tears you babadook!!
A babadook? That’s original. Had to look it up to be sure you weren’t making it up. Thick skin, Lil’ SSL. Thick skin. Q.’s the original curmudgeon. When he zings you it’s a compliment – of sorts.
That movie got top reviews, too! Surprising, as I thought that kind of stuff might be too much for your rather tender sensibilities. Never heard of until now, though.
It is a good movie and I am glad you found out about it. It did trouble my sensibilites for sure though. Is that a compliment Dis? Q speaks an alien language so sometimes I have trouble understanding. He doesn’t interject laughter into his conversations and is really emotionless sometimes. Like a Vulcan.
Q.’s a hardcore INTJ or INTP (haven’t decided which yet) technocratic type. A Mr. Spock, if you will. You won’t get a lot of emoting from the Q. Man, other than maybe when Ruckers wins at something, which ain’t often.
I still have this tab open Q and until it times out on me I can still get here. The heights of your cruelty know no bounds. What did i ever do to you but be the nicest person to you within CFN nation?
I take it you haven’t rebooted yet? Do it the old school way and yank the power cord for at least 15 seconds. Once a month to clear the cobwebs and your computer will thank you for it.
Don’t worry SSL, you are still tops in my book!
Thank you CB 🙂
James is a gentleman and warns you before outright banning you.
Unless you do something that is egregious then all bets might be off.
Check your e-mails.
The page looks different so it might have been an upgrade.
Yes, im sure it is simply a glitch or due to an upgrade like you said. No reason to get rash or all bent out of shape lol!
Hey, everybody, check this OUT.
I have been a pretty big fan of Polly St. George ever since I saw the amazing deconstructions and delving and digging that she did in connection with the (first?) impeachment hearing and the unsalubrious roles played by many actors with dodgy Ukrainian=Jewish connections sluch a Vindman and that awful, awful woman. Can’t recall her name. This was in, what, 2018?
Then she was perspecacious (sp?) again regarding the covid op.
Now she is on the trail of the Kanye West blowup and how this all fits in with narrative control that affects us all, especially POC.
I highly recommend this vid. If nothing else ((:-)) she is attractive and intelligent and has a nice manner. But, I respect her as a reporter and analyst (despite her flirtations with the Qanon business, as I always say).
httpXX://rumble.com/v1so37q-kanye-drops-a-bomb-who-is-harley-pasternak-and-why-should-you-care.html
Polly is an amazing researcher, that is for sure, and she knows how to connect the dots. Thanks for the link.
I listened to an interview between ‘Ye’ and the obnoxious Piers Morgan and I have to say, Kanye sounded like he was on a different planet. I guess that’s what fame and money can do to a person.
Slugoon,
I watched that video.
It was hard to follow Ye.
But IMO Tucker’s “Candide” style of interviewing was not conducive to getting a coherent story out of Ye.
I can see now that Ye is and was under enormous pressure.
One text from this awful Pasternak character:
Go to 8:15 to see the text in which Ye’s “trainer” Pasternak literally threatened Ye with institutionalizing him “again” if he didn’t toe the line.
Polly follows this line of evidence (with help from a Tweet of this controller Pasternak that ta viewer sent her) in a very incisive fashion.
Do take a look at the Polly St. George vid.
I hope that JHK will also take the time to look at this. Her dot connecting is always quite amazing.
Dot connecting:
Mathew Ehret is interesting and original in his analysis of how British influence has continued to flow into the USA via Canada since the Revolution. Certainly there is a very influential Ukrainian Fifth Column in Canada headed by Chrystia Freeland, now the foreign minister.
Tom Luongo states that the interests trying to impose the WEF agenda on the USA are actually old European money, not new. To me that means Rothschild, based in the City of London—the world’s largest and most secretive private bank.
This fellow Pasternak is Canadian and connected with the Canadian Defense Forces. As Polly trenchantly asks: Who “trained” him?
Just watch the vid. It is not that long. I think Polly is on to something important.
Ye has a handler. Britney Spears “married” hers.
Yes, they torture them to keep them in line. Remember, these people (Ye, Spears, etc.) are commodities which keep $$$ rolling in for a lot of folks. They are managed to keep the gravy train coming.
Look at what it’s done to Madonna. And the Rolling Stones aren’t allowed to retire.
Madonna has always been a nut so who cares.
I just came across the latest from the Club of Rome, Earth for All:a survival guide for humanity, a book and earth4all.life a website. Their method is to state a narrative and assume it will come true, pure magical thinking. They offer no references, no calculations, no models. In the long run reality will cause the magical thinkers to wither away but I worry about the damage they will cause with their false hope in the short run.
That’s similar to that quote from EU Pres. Jean-Claude Junker about putting an unsavory idea out, seeing how the public reacts, and pushing as far as they can before they meet resistance.
How’s the Club of Rome survival guide fit into the WEF scheme of things? Sympatico? Fellow Travelers? Klaus Schwab to the Club of Rome; “Relax friend, the WEF will take it from here.”
Club of Rome calls for more labor unions so workers have pension to retire in comfort. So not WEF. They push also for more money for those at the bottom of the pyramid so not WEF.
Is this a joke?
Yeah it is weird. No idea of what to make of it.
There’s a very good series of 3 interviews with Sandi Adams on UK Column, on her research on Agenda 2030 from the documents themselves.
ukcolumn.org/video/agenda-2030-part-1
(Parts 2 and 3 linked).
It’s almost unbelievable, the insanity of what they propose. In addition to being evil, these people are off their trolleys.
Redneck thinks it’s a conspiracy theory, but it’s all there in black and white.
Polly St. George connects some of the dots between research into psychotropic drugs that Pasternak has been involved with and the part of the WEF agenda that strips us of all we have but we are “happy.”
Brittney Griner update:
Brittney Griner has been transferred to a Russian penal colony to serve the rest of her nine-year sentence. According to Reuters, she was taken to Female Penal Colony IK-2 in Yavas (located roughly 300 miles southeast of Moscow).
“Inmates work from 12 to 16 hours a day with lunch and toilet breaks,” Podoplelova said. “Daily quotas are set very high, but one official salary is normally shared by several inmates. As a result, inmate workers only get a pay of several hundred roubles a month.”
Griner’s location, the Yavas penal colony, apparently has a bad reputation. Inmates have opened up about beatings and intimidation.
“I worked as a seamstress and there is a law: if you do not fulfill the production rate, you are beaten,” former inmate Irina Noskova said, via BBC.
On the bright side, she’ll come out with a trade. And be tough as hell. And at least a smattering of Russian under her belt.
Hopefully Brittany will be making a significant contribution to the Russian war effort, in her own small way lol. Rest assured, when the Russian National Anthem is played at 4:00 am reveille, Brittany will be smartly snapping to attention, not “taking a knee”.
After this she should have no reason to ever complain about the pay disparity in the WNBA ever again!
That too. They’ll probably give her double portions of gruel when she makes it back to the league.
Dis,
In the bad old days after WWII, prisoners of war were given daily quota of work to receive their gruel…those who didn’t produce their quota, received less gruel, got weaker, and then, well, you can understand the process.
Had a friend who was a German military POW…he described the process, grown men weeping because they were too weakened to fulfill their quotas…most died…he himself was in the Gulag 7 years.
Miz Griner will return from her Russian adventure a better person…not only will she have, perhaps a marketable skill, but she might be able to pick up the language.
There is no racial animus in the former Soviet Union (snort)…so she might also make many white friends.
Kumbaya
After 9 years in the gulag, I don’t think Brittney is gonna bother with the WNBA anymore. This may be just a rumor, but I hear the new and improved Britt is signing with the Phoenix Suns once Putin’s done spanking her.
Russian Anthem Lyrics in English
Verse 1:
Russia is our sacred state,
Russia is our beloved land.
The powerful strength and the great glory
Are your properties for all the time.
Chorus:
Long live our Fatherland, land of the free,
The eternal union of brothers nations,
Given by ancestors the people’s wisdom!
Long live our land! We are proud of you!
Verse 2:
From the southern seas to the polar lands
Spread are our forests and fields.
You are unique in the world, one of a kind –
This native land protected by God!
Verse 3:
Wide expanse for dreams and for living
Are opened for us by the coming years
Our loyalty to the Fatherland gives us strength.
So it was, so it is, and so it always will be!
Yes, many were forced to sing it in the Gulag!
I they were singing “The International” inside the Gulag, TS.
ahhhh No
The anthem was selected as a result of a national contest when the USSR fell.
For a long time it had no words because a winning selection could not be found with words that sounded good with the tune.
This according to MSN:
“I support my husband’s decision to run for president of this wonderful nation,” Ms Trump told far-right Breitbart News after her husband’s announcement.
My take: How come they don’t refer to CNN as a “far left’ news source when they cite? This is why the American press can no longer be trusted or taken seriously.
Because MSN is part of the same cabal as CNN.
This is not hard.
What is far left or far right?

On the cover of the November issue of Scientific American it says,
‘Meltdown: New Evidence that Antarctica’s Ice Is Collapsing Faster than Expected’.
Scientists at work 2019-2020, on top of previous study over about 20 years.
“Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier, about the size of Nebraska, slowly flows into the Southern Ocean. It is held back by the Thwaites Ice Shelf, which is braced by the seafloor along the grounding line and by underwater mountain peaks at sea. The shelf is fragmenting, however, speeding the Glacier’s demise, which would raise global sea level by 65 centimeters (about two feet).”
What I like about these guys and gals is their appreciation of long-term consequences. As things stand, we seem to be locked into two meters of sea level rise in the coming centuries. Two meters. “If the Twaites Glacier collapses and destabilizes the heart of West Antarctica, the sea level rise jumps to five meters”.
Right, who wants to be concerned about a century or two ahead. Well, they do, and we should have more like them regarding other things, like the sustainability of huge populations.
Kudos to the scientists, work, study, concern.
That being said, it doesn’t mean that a concerning sea level rise couldn’t take place in just a few decades. Remember, “It’s not nice to fool with Mother Nature’.
Massive submerged volcanic activity in the southern oceans heating up the seawater and atmosphere, melting polar ice.
Two meters won’t even take my house, and i live 300 ft from the sound shore.
End of last ice age saw 400 ft of sea level rise, and that didn’t wipe humanity out, or a crucial amount of anything else.
Rest easy Gus, I’ve been monitoring sea levels on the Ct & RI coastal regions for about 10 years now; I can report no discernable sea level rise since about 2012. I’ve downed many cold Sam Adams beers & plates of fried clams on a rooftop bar overlooking Niantic Bay examining the shape of the coast — it has not changed. RR tracks run along the shore, right behind — tracks that were first laid in the 1840s, Boston to NYC, one of the first RRs in America
(Cont.) — tracks that were first laid in the 1840s, Boston to NYC, the main line, one of the first RRs in America, using the same rail beds surveyed nearly 200 years ago.
How do you like it now, Gentlemen?
Get on the bus Gus and slow down on the brews, Brh.
The following may help you both understand the situation:

Talking to a guy who has a boat yard on the shore here. I asked him whether he had noticed any rise in the water where they have their marine railway, and he said Nope.
That’s the thing about Climate Change & Sea Level Rise, Islander: it may be fine where you are, your beaches unchanged and eternal, with golden days of autumn upon you, but the coast of Borneo is being washed away, and there is severe flooding in the mountains of Oranistan — so don’t believe your lying eyes, believe what we tell you. Meanwhile, we’ll be dismantling your utility grid, hyping unaffordable EVs — and here is your plate of insects for dinner.
I can double down on that assessment.
There are pictures from as far back as the early 1900’s of Malibu point and Rincon Del Mar in Santa Barbra that clearly show the ocean levels from over 100 years ago and they are remarkably damn near exactly as they are today.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words sea level rise takes eons and it has risen and fallen but even more amazing is how the water level stays the same, but the actual hard earth can raise and lower due to tectonic plates rising and lowering.
A melted glacier can lift the entire surface of the world’s seas up five metres? Lol. I don’t think so.
The Earth has been in and out of ice-ages many times before, and there were no cars then.
It’s like me panicking that if the ice in my drink melts, my glass is going to overflow and flood the room.

Hate to break this to you but you have been wrong before and he is toxic but not for anything other people have not done.
Has he called half of America deplorable?
Is he as crusty as the current imbecile in the Whitehouse?
Obama picked fights with all sorts of people hell that fool even insulted the Supreme court to their faces.
He also insulted half of America but since the media covers up their nasty attitudes and behaviors the cranks like you never hear about it.
Case and point are you aware that they attempted to impeach Trump on a crime Biden not only committed but actually bragged about publicly at a CFR meeting while he was playing VP under Bathhouse Barry?
In his own words, with video cameras rolling, Joe Biden
threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the
Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees,
sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t
immediately
“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I
think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six
hours. If the prosecutor is not Fired, you’re not getting the money.
“Well, son of a bitch, he got Fired!
And they put in place someone who was
solid at the time,” Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations event,
insisting that President Obama was in on the threat.
This was about an investigation into Hunter Biden and corruption at Burisma.
Or you can watch the actual video.
By the way this is an actual Congressional record.

Scientists Discover That Money Actually Can Buy Happiness
It’s official.
NOV 12 by VICTOR TANGERMANN
It’s official: money can, in fact, buy you happiness. , as NBC reports
An experiment, described in a new paper published in the journal PNAS this week, was simple: researchers gave 200 people a one-time sum of $10,000 — sourced from two anonymous donors — and asked them to rate their happiness on a monthly basis.
The catch: they had to spend the ten grand within just three months.
And the result? Participants who received the cash rated their happiness higher than a control group after a luxurious three months, depending on their incomes. And their happiness remained at those elevated levels even after that, the researchers found.
In short, the lower the participants’ incomes, the higher their gain in perceived happiness. Above a certain threshold in household income, however, those increases were far lower or even non-existent.
Sure, the results may not exactly be the most groundbreaking, but the experiment supports the idea that a cash injection, such as a universal basic income, could have a substantial and positive effect on people’s lives.
Participants had no idea they were part of an experiment when they signed up for a “mystery experiment,” organized by TED’s Chris Anderson, back in December 2020. Participants had to be over 21 and fluent in English.
“It’s my hope this experiment teaches us something truly important about human nature,” Anderson wrote in a Twitter announcement at the time. “And turns into something meaningful in your own life.”
Several participants didn’t believe the experiment was real until they actually saw the money in the bank account, MarketWatch reports.
A control group of 100 people, who didn’t get any money, were also asked to rate their happiness on a monthly basis.
“Our data provide the clearest evidence to date that private citizens can improve net global happiness through voluntary redistribution to those with less,” the researchers wrote in their paper.
But there’s some nuance to the results as well: participants whose annual household income exceeded $123,000 weren’t much happier after receiving the cash gift.
“Given that 99 percent of individuals earn less than this amount, these findings suggest that cash transfers could benefit the vast majority of the world’s population,” the authors wrote in their paper.
Participants were from three low-income countries (Brazil, Indonesia, and Kenya) as well as three high-income countries (Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States.)
Those from low-income countries reported an increase in happiness three times that of those from high-income countries, which probably makes sense given the difference in purchasing power.
“Ten thousand dollars in certain places around the world can really buy you a lot,” coauthor Ryan Dwyer, who was a University of British Columbia PhD student at the time, told NBC News. “Some people spent a lot of the money paying down their mortgage or doing a big renovation on their house.”
The study does have some limitations, from selection biases built into the efforts of finding participants — they had to both live in a specific country, be on Twitter, and speak English fluently — to the fact that their happiness was only actively being measured for a relatively short period of time.
But in the end, University of British Columbia psychology professor and study coauthor Elizabeth Dunn hopes the experiment will encourage other wealthy donors to do the same.
“My biggest fondest hope for this study is that people will copy it, that people will think it’s something they can do,” she told MarketWatch. “It doesn’t need to be $2 million, even a much smaller amount of money can make a difference.”
This is my conclusion as well, and should be obvious. Anything beyond what allows you basic comfort does not really make you happy.
It’s amazing how many people don’t get this.
The millionaires I’ve known were the most miserable people. Always worried they will lose their $$$. And that’s a valid worry, here in the US, with crashes every few years.
And then those HUGE houses and cars they have to maintain.
That seems like excess stress to me, but what do I know?
The UK and USA sort of tried this from about 1945 to -80, via a progressive tax system. 40 years later, the UK seems to have either a flat or regressive tax system.
In other words, the experiment was carried out for a long time and seems to have worked. Read the book ‘The Spirit Level’ which also studies countries with relatively equal wealth distribution, e.g. Sweden, Japan.
(Note: Well, except for the Wallenberg family.)
Happiness can’t buy money.
HAHAHAHAHAH

Benr…you’re weird. Jimbo’s been wrong many times, but keeps on tickin’ and opens his blog to malcontents like you and me. We’re blessed.
Meanwhile, EROEI my friend. That will be the ultimate death of us all. What say ye, MQ?
Well Nancy was fired tom. Did you chuckle? Well either way i do agree with you that we are blessed. I feel particularly blessed this evening or morning.
Not that you per se asked me but since you are here and all. Well, you know energy doesnt ever really dissipate tom. It simply changes forms. So in reality we are surrounded by seemingly infinite energy. When we capture it for use we actually reduce and narrow its possibilities. Whereas if you could simply tap into the ambient energies around you you could have potentially limitless power. I don’t know what that means but invest accordingly Mr. clark. Nite nite
Thanks Tom I try and yes, I am an odd duck.

The link above was about melting Antarctica. This article mentions Greenland. Of course there is no need to panic, we’re talking long term here. We won’t be around when sea level rises have a really big impact in the future, but unlike the shortsighted and uninformed here, many people do care about what will happen to future generations.

Seas around the world have risen an average of nearly 3 inches since 1992, with some locations rising more than 9 inches due to natural variation, according to the latest satellite measurements from NASA and its partners. An intensive research effort now underway, aided by NASA observations and analysis, points to an unavoidable rise of several feet in the future.
Members of NASA’s new interdisciplinary Sea Level Change Team discussed recent findings and new agency research efforts during a media teleconference Aug. 26, 2015, at 12:30 p.m. EDT.
The question scientists are grappling with is how quickly will seas rise?
As Our Ocean Warms, Sea Level Rises
Earth’s climate history shows there have been times when ice sheets rapidly changed and created multiple meters of sea level rise in a century. As Earth’s ice sheets continue to change, a key question facing scientists now is: Could human-caused climate change be pushing us toward one of those times?
Seas around the world have risen an average of nearly 3 inches since 1992.
Sea level rise is a natural consequence of the warming of our planet.
We know this from basic physics. When water heats up, it expands. So when the ocean warms, sea level rises. When ice is exposed to heat, it melts. And when ice on land melts and water runs into the ocean, sea level rises.
For thousands of years, sea level has remained relatively stable and human communities have settled along the planet’s coastlines. But now Earth’s seas are rising. Globally, sea level has risen about eight inches since the beginning of the 20th century and more than two inches in the last 20 years alone.
All signs suggest that this rise is accelerating.
Glacial Rebound: The Not So Solid Earth
When you fill a sink, the water rises at the same rate to the same height in every corner. That’s not the way it works with our rising seas.
According to the 23-year record of satellite data from NASA and its partners, the sea level is rising a few millimeters a year — a fraction of an inch. If you live on the U.S. East Coast, though, your sea level is rising two or three times faster than average. If you live in Scandinavia, it’s falling. Residents of China’s Yellow River delta are swamped by sea level rise of more than nine inches (25 centimeters) a year.
These regional differences in sea level change will become even more apparent in the future, as ice sheets melt.
A Summer of NASA Research on Sea Level Rise in Greenland
On Greenland’s ice sheet, a vast icy landscape crisscrossed by turquoise rivers and dotted with melt water lakes, a small cluster of orange camping tents popped up in late July. The camp, home for a week to a team of researchers, sat by a large, fast-flowing river. Just a kilometer downstream, the river dropped into a seemingly bottomless moulin, or sinkhole in the ice. The low rumble of the waters, the shouted instructions from scientists taking measurements, and the chop of the blades of a helicopter delivering personnel and gear was all that was heard in the frozen landscape.
This camp was Laurence C. Smith’s field research site in west Greenland. Smith, a professor and chair of geography at University of California, Los Angeles, and his NASA-funded team were studying the hydrology of the ice sheet – how the shifting network of streams and rivers that form during the melt season transport water from surface of the ice to the ocean, contributing to sea level rise.
NASA’s OMG Mission Maps Greenland’s Coastline
This summer, a refitted fishing boat is mapping the seafloor around Greenland as the first step in a six-year research program to document the loss of ice from the world’s largest island. NASA’s Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) field campaign is gathering data that will help scientists both to understand how the oceans are joining with the atmosphere in melting the vast ice sheet and to predict the extent and timing of the resulting sea level rise.
“A lot of the major uncertainty in future sea level rise is in the Greenland Ice Sheet,” said OMG principal investigator Josh Willis, a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. At about 660,000 square miles (1.7 million square kilometers), the ice sheet is three times the size of Texas. It’s about a mile deep on average and contains enough water to raise global sea levels about 20 feet (6 meters), if it were all to melt. “The question is how fast it’s melting,” Willis said.
Sea Level Rise Hits Home at NASA
For the past two centuries, two trends have been steady and clear around the United States. Sea level has been rising, and more people have been moving closer to the coast.
As the ocean has warmed, polar ice has melted, and porous landmasses have subsided, global mean sea level has risen by 8 inches (20 centimeters) since 1870. The rate of sea level rise is faster now than at any time in the past 2,000 years, and that rate has doubled in the past two decades.
The nation’s problem is also NASA’s problem, and not just because several satellites and hundreds of Earth scientists are monitoring the rising seas. Sea level rise hits especially close to home because half to two-thirds of NASA’s infrastructure and assets stand within 16 feet (5 meters) of sea level. With at least $32 billion in laboratories, launch pads, airfields, testing facilities, data centers, and other infrastructure spread out across 330 square miles (850 square kilometers)—plus 60,000 employees—NASA has an awful lot of people and property in harm’s way.’
So it won’t affect you, huh? What a selfish worldview.
We should be worried about fossil fuel depletion and surface economic and agricultural ecological damage before climate change.
This civilization will implode for these reasons long before climate makes any difference. Climate change is the corporate diversion to sidestep any major economic or civilizational change. Meanwhile, ecological damage worsens, population continues to grow almost a billion a decade, and we speed toward an energy crunch with no GOOD solutions at current trajectories, and the only marginally feasible one (on paper) being a nuclear fission reactor in every village, middlesex and town.
Care about the future? Worry about population density, energy, and logging/agriculture/mining practices.
It may be used as a diversion, true, but it is taking place whether man made or not. Scientists all over the world know that sea levels are rising ‘slowly’.
But I agree, the Die-Centennial will occur well before any real drastic effects are felt because of rising sea levels.
On Kari Lake and Katie Hobbs:
‘The Republican candidate wasn’t ready to accept her defeat and called Hobbs, who served as Secretary of State and overlooked elections, as being a ‘fox in the hen house.’
Hobbs was Arizona’s secretary of state until her recent gubernatorial win. She had broad oversight over the Grand Canyon State’s electoral process, with Lake claiming it was inappropriate for her to maintain that role while running for Arizona’s highest office.
Arizona was struck by issues during its recent midterm elections, but so-far there’s no evidence it swung the result in Hobbs’ favor.
‘I am still in this fight with you,’ Lake said in a video on Twitter. ‘For two years, I’ve been sounding the alarm about our broken election system here in Arizona – and this past week has confirmed everything we’ve been saying.
‘Well, we called for Katie Hobbs to recuse herself over a year ago. They ridiculed us. It turns out we were right. They fox was guarding the hen house, and because of that, voters have been disenfranchised when we raise concerns.’
Lake has hired lawyers to contest the results. Her strong TV performances saw her establish a lead in polls ahead of the November 8 election, with a Lake victory seen as all-but-certain. Her subsequent loss has been one of the biggest upsets of the midterms, which saw other Trump-backed GOP candidates lose, sparking claims that the 45th president is now political poison.’
It was way too close; I believe that the Democrats stole this one.
