Back in the day, LSD trips were mostly a matter of personal choice. Today, though, all you have to do is wake up somewhere between Montauk and the Farallon Islands and your senses are overwhelmed with hallucinations. The public used to depend on newspapers and TV networks to suss out reality, but that filter is long gone, replaced by a relentless “narrative” machine, and all it does is spin out one technicolor whopper after another.

The trouble is: narrative is not the truth. Generally, it’s the opposite of the truth. It’s manufactured counter-truth. The more narrative you spin, the faster you must spin off new supporting narrative to conceal the untruth of your previous narrative — until the national hive mind is lit up in unreality where nothing makes sense and the very language that separates humanity from the rough beasts becomes a social poison. And is “Joe Biden” not the perfect gibbering epitome of this mess, a ghost in the narrative machine, beckoning us into chaos?

America is on a bad trip. The country has lost its way psychologically. Two things will be required to bring it out of the fugue state it tripped into five years ago: some significant shocks to the system and the passage of time. Those shocks are in the offing and the “Joe Biden” regime — meaning Barack Obama and his wing-people who run things — are looking more and more desperate as auguries manifest.

Their current tactical hustle is to amp up paranoia over the receding Covid-19 episode. It looks like an attempt to smokescreen the emerging evidence of massive and widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, and the growing eagerness of a few other states besides Arizona to mount audits of what went on last November 3rd. The supposed surge in new Covid cases is really just a tiny blip, considering it comes off a baseline of close to zero cases in many places. 11,140 so far have died from Covid vaccinations, according to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Last week 2,092 deaths from vaccinations were added versus 1,918 deaths from the virus. Countries with the highest vaccination rates are showing the most new Covid cases.

Yet, it’s looking like the idea is to set up the unvaxed for blame as “Joe Biden’s” legitimacy dissolves and the country finds itself in a political crisis because there’s nothing in the constitution that provides for removing a president elected fraudulently, even if the nation is crumbling around him. Vaccine disinformation is killing people, Mr. “B” warned last week. CBS 60-Minutes led its Sunday night show with more Covid scare stories. The message is everywhere that you must get vaxed-up, and, if you don’t, there may be severe penalties. Those likely to opt out of a vax are exactly those people who distrust what the government tells them, meaning probably people who did not vote for the current occupant of the White House. As it happens, though, the number of people who distrust government is expanding even beyond that demographic.

The regime must know that evidence of massive voting fraud and the loss of political legitimacy will coincide with a financial train wreck that looks to be chugging out of the station this very morning with all asset indexes tanking as I write. There are even fresh reports of an asteroid heading directly towards Washington DC this week. (So said Devin Nunes, ranking member on the House Intel Committee, over the weekend.) The asteroid is the long-rumored return from deep space of Special Prosecutor John Durham with some interesting announcements concerning the most poisonous narrative of this era: the RussiaGate collusion hoax finally revealed as a seditious conspiracy by high government officials in the Department of Justice and the Intel agencies. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mr. Obama and his wing-people turned up in that mix. Won’t that be a nice accessory to “Joe Biden’s” presidential flame-out? And won’t that be just the ripe moment for China to move against Taiwan? Lawkes a’mighty… feets don’t desert me now!

The turmoil could get pretty hairy by summer’s end. Money will be flooding the system with the predictable loss of money’s legitimacy, at the same time that a massive debt repudiation gets under way. Hyperinflation and debt default at the same time? Sounds improbable, I know, since the former means too much money and the latter means money is disappearing like crazy. What it really means is that everything gets repriced rapidly and violently, and not necessarily in US dollars. Banks will not like this one teensy weensy bit.

All this will certainly lead to a lot of people suddenly going hungry, because that’s how going hungry works — it only takes a couple of days of not eating. Goodness knows what will be happening in the streets then. These are the sort of shocks we’re facing. Things get very real, elbowing out the hallucinations. The long, strange trip sputters out. And then begins the long hard job of finding a way to live that actually makes sense. Hint: it’s smaller, slower, closer to home, and in many ways better.

    “Last week 2,092 deaths from vaccinations were added versus 1,918 deaths from the virus” – JHK

    Wow. More people now dying from the vaccine than the Covid. And that’s just the official numbers they’ll admit to. 2,000 people per week and growing is a lot of people dropping dead from “the cure”.

    Eventually, even the fact checkers and social media “guardians of truth” won’t be able to cover this up.

    • O.G. Hawkins July 19, 2021 at 10:19 am #

      They will cover it up. They place blame for the poisoned dropping like flies on the unjabbed perculating variants.

        Your “God’s Word” might be a narrative too. Ever think about that? Do you have any science on it? Documented evidence? Facts? Nope… all you have is “faith” and “belief”. Come down off your high horse and stop insulting people. Just that alone would make you a “holier” person.

          Was if Samuel Clemens who wrote “Faith is what is needed to (pretend to) believe something which you know to be untrue.”?
          When will religion be recognised as clutching for Nanny from humanity’s infancy?

          • pranah July 20, 2021 at 12:40 pm #

            Yes. “Faith is believing what you know ain’t so.” — Samuel Clemens

          • Anthea July 21, 2021 at 12:01 am #

            The word “faith” is usually used in that sense, and I am all too familiar with Christian whose belief system consists almost entirely of the idea that, if they are very, very good–and say the magic words–God will make sure they are spared any suffering.

            I personally define “faith” in its religious sense to mean “fidelity”–in the sense of a high-fidelity recording. You and I are God in the microcosm, and God is our highest and truest self. Are we “high fidelity”–“faithful”–representations of this truest self? That is God-men?

      • oroyrodajes July 19, 2021 at 3:33 pm #

        I’m vaxxed, but do not trust the goobermint. We got vaxxed because we want to travel, perhaps the last time (if JHK is right is right about the nightmare ahead).

        Of course they’ll cover up inconvenient facts re the vax. And blame the usual suspects.

    • abbybwood July 19, 2021 at 1:05 pm #

      What must be making the Biden puppet masters’ heads spin this morning is the study recently released by MIT saying that the “vaccine hesitant” are “highly informed, scientifically literate and sophisticated”:

      https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/rick-moran/2021/07/17/mit-study-vaccine-hesitancy-is-highly-informed-scientifically-literate-and-sophisticated-n1462591

        “Expect MIT to be cancelled forthwith.” Love it!

        For those of us who think that Truth can be discovered, or at least approached by the use of the scientific method and open fact-based discourse we should be thankful for the current state of propaganda. By assuming that all information supported by censorship is a lie we have a good basis for starting to uncover the truth.

        Start with everything the Government, Big Pharma medical totalitarianism, The spook agencies in charge of manufacturing consent, and the Malignant Overlord censors from silicon valley, and distrust every thing they say. Consider it to be a lie unless proven otherwise.

      • Night Owl July 19, 2021 at 3:12 pm #

        Heh.

      • Unperson37854 July 19, 2021 at 5:22 pm #

        Here’s the problem with the MIT article, it tries ti MIT-splain how both camps can be correct in the thought processes and arguments they use, even if one of them is “wrong”, and then reveals that it thinks the hesitant are wrong making claims that rely on believing some unknowns presented as truths.

        Another institution did a similar article a few weeks ago. Cited the vaccine hesitant as more informed, even though they’re “wrong”, and that’s a “problem” (was the gist of the story).

        Perhaps the MIT article author is getting close to opening their mind – they’re close and they’re in those last throw of denial and trying to explain-away/carry water for a reality they can’t reconcile with the narrative-reality they’re fed every day – I’ve been there, for me it still took a watershed moment to break me out of the trance and see through all the BS.

        Of course, on the flip side, this could be the MIT authors attempt at “reaching” the hesitant via the persuasion tactic of “listening” and flattery.

      And they achieve that despite using higher cycles of PCR tests on the unvaxxed than the vaxxed,

      If you read read the whole piece you’ll see that only 596 died of just covid in ten months.

          Pretty horrifying.

    • ThorsHammer July 19, 2021 at 2:47 pm #

      hmuller

      The official numbers from VAERS are exploding off the charts day by day and now exceed the numbers of daily deaths directly from COVID. But discussions based on VAERS alone serve to disguise the severity of the problem.

      A few years back Harvard University did a meta-study of under-reporting in voluntary reporting systems. They concluded that the under-reporting was as high as 100 to 1. Any logical estimate as to the number of deaths associated with the fake vaccines would place the death total closer to 50,000— or five times as high as from COVID itself.

      Step right up all you unpatriotic hesitant sheep. Your masters need a control portal installed forthwith.

      • hmuller July 19, 2021 at 3:31 pm #

        Clif High (exiled to Bitchute) has been claiming the vaccine was a deliberate effort at a mass culling of humanity. That’s tin-foil hat thinking today. It may be undeniable fact tomorrow. We’ll see.

        I seems to me the campaign to vaccinate the unwilling is reaching hysteria proportions. Look at the restrictions announced in France. The unvaxed are now prisoners in their homes. The next step is strap them down and force the vaccine.

        • Unperson37854 July 19, 2021 at 5:34 pm #

          Many in the independent community have noticed the break-neck speed at which the real “misinformation” has been ramped up the last couple weeks.

          The election fraud may have something to do with it, but I think we may be dealing with the efforts of garden-variety hysteria-based extremist ideology bearing its fruits. The shit makes its own gravy at this point.

          You have the “experts” on tv, no more experts than the ones they don’t allow on tv, throwing the essence of their disciplines out the window, unwilling to entertain inconvenient data or apply the scientific method evenly, trading it all for tribalism trumping intellect. Allowing their ego to be exploited. And these, the weaker of the two sets of experts, are the ones who get to declare what is reality, in the face of reality, because they don’t serve the truth, they serve a narrative and belief-system they’ve bought into.

          Heck, I wouldn’t even doubt that there’s no mass-culling intent going on, but just reckless money-making at hand with the unfortunate side-effect of culling – might as well not let a crisis go to waste and cover up the vaccine deaths and use the vaccine-spreaders as a means to blame the unvaccinated and get more people vaccinated. $$$$$$$ this might be all the motive you need.

          • bluedog July 19, 2021 at 6:03 pm #

            Hmm and just what is this election fraud crap for the elections have always held fraud, Fla. In 2000 Ohio in 2004 and many before that, Trump was the chosen one he was put in there as the great divider, and he did his work well, four years of nothing but taking care of the 1%, billions in tax cuts 2 trillion in Wall Street to protect the wealth of the 1% was what he was put in there for.

            And just what do you think will happen if they do find fraud 5 years down the road when it’s all in the dust bin of history

            As the man said, “A people that elect politicians imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims…but accomplices.

          • Justin July 20, 2021 at 4:13 pm #

            Yes, it’s hard not to notice the breakneck speed that the administration misinformation is being increased.
            It makes those already suspicious and untrusting, even more suspicious and untrusting.
            The more they lie, bribe, mandate, manipulate the case numbers, falsify causes of deaths and trespass door to door to force or persuade people to get the shots, the more people will be suspicious and untrusting.
            If there were a real pandemic, which there isn’t, and if there were vaccines that really did prevent it, which there isn’t, there would be no need for lies, bribes, mandates, manipulated case numbers, falsified causes of deaths and door to door trespassing. Not to mention breaking their own HIPPA regs on medical privacy.
            The above was more than enough to make me highly suspicious and untrusting. Aside from the origin of the virus, and how or why it was released.

      Not true. VAERS data is self reported and can lag. The other thing about VAERS data is they all are not even close to dying because they got the vaccine. It just means they died sometime after they got the vaccine from anything. That means an octogenarian could have died from a heart attack blissfully pounding one his many courtesans in the nursing home. He may have had the vaccine 3 months before his rapture. His healthcare professional reports the incident to VAERS. When one talks about false narratives and bending facts to fit them, JHK is just a culpable.

    Good morning.

    I’m trying to figure out how they are going to reconcile that they have been telling us we all need to get the vaccine or we are selfish killers, with the fact that due to the vaccine failures they are going back to “it wasn’t meant to keep you from getting COVID, only to lessen your chances of getting seriously ill or dying from it”.

    We knew that about the vaccines from the start, but the facts didn’t fit with forcing people to take the shot, so they started implying that’s what the vaxx would do, stop you from getting the virus.

    People lining up for the vaccine really believed they were helping eradicate a dangerous disease, as with polio.

    My guess is they just won’t say anything, they will keep the lies going about your responsibility to get vaccinated.

      With the mask mandate back in most California counties now we are being told both vaccinated and unvaccinated need to mask up (inside).

      Which means all the jadrools will be back in their cars, alone, with masks, shields and gloves.

        Surgical style masks serve no medical function against virus-size particles like COVID. Anybody who cared to look has known that since mid-summer of 2020. And that includes Dr. Faschi. and all the Leaders of the western world.

        So what is their purpose?

        #1—- They act a a comfort blanky to enable wearers to believe they are doing something to save themselves from Pandemicius Horribellicus.

        #2—Their continual presence is a reminder that you are not really free, much like a dog on a tether that never can reach the cat taunting him from the fence top.

        #3 — Masks (AKA muzzles) are a branding system signifying that compliant wearers will accept almost any demand from totalitarianism, however irrational or illogical’. Like the “election” of 2020 in the US. or year-long rolling lock-downs. Functionally they are similar to branding with the swastika on the forehead of subservient races.

      They will continue to go back and forth on their public announcements. The game is psychological and the tactics being used make no sense by design.

      The end goal is to simply wear people down.

      I would not be surprised to hear the concept of wearing 3-4 masks being discussed again.

      The end goal is a shot in every arm, which the WEF minions like Lena Wen have stated on multiple occasions.

      • Pete July 19, 2021 at 4:46 pm #

        Night Owl,

        I would say that a shot in every arm is an objective on the way to the goal. The goal is unstated.

        And yes, the massive amount of confusion, as a result is intentional, if for no other reason than to obfuscate that goal. And that draws out the full spectrum of opinions and voices, further obfuscating the goal, and it spirals like that, until we don’t even know what the question was. Which is…

        What is the goal?

          For the record, I think you’re both right, but could this be nothing more than the organic manifestation of human nature cycles at work?

          In ancient times perhaps, getting to this point in the cycle might’ve been easier, happened more often, because you could better “control” and motivate smaller masses of people to compliance or war for instance – fast forward to today, and you have the perfect storm of the information age that could both liberate and condemn us to repeat these cycles on an accelerated path on a scale never seen before.

          Right now, you have more than half the information-consuming world living a delusion. Living in irrational fear. A controlled mass-hysteria if you will. Seemingly only a few very short steps from total chaos, neighbor killing neighbor, governments jailing people for not injecting experimental drugs into their bodies and so on.

            Saw today where one of the Jan. 6th trespassers got an eight month sentence.

            Compared to looters and rioters who torched buildings and were arrested then released to go back out and loot and riot more.

            As long as they were looting and rioting responsibly. I guess that is the new benchmark. Not Constitutional rights.

            Human nature is a beast.

            Totally agree that control has always been a much sought after lever in our human experience. Leads me to a personal axiom; Any technology that can be used to control people, will be used to control people. The irony this go-around is that what was once a promise of universal communication and expression, has morphed into the actual suppression of that very promise. What is more, the likes of Google, Facebook and Twitter have brought a juvenile perspective to adult issues. I guess we all go to Columbine High School now.

            Delusional in their Virtual world, like me in this virtual world. I cannot deny that here, is a world where I have a decent expectation of being accepted. I frequently wonder if my leftist contemporaries believe me to be as insane as I believe them to be. I am not, unless I am.

            The day the trucks stop making the rounds at Shop-Rite is the day when that irrational fear will take those very few short steps you mention. But that’s really just one way this get’s started. There’s plenty of Lexington / Concord scenarios to go around.

          Yes, the long-term goal is still a bit fuzzy for us schlubs, but if you read the writings of Schwab and the WEF Transhumanist crowd, a clearer picture emerges.

          These people are crazy, like most of history’s tyrants. And, unfortunately, it appears as though we are on a knife’s edge in terms of whether they will be able to force their will.

          Have you ever spent a night in the hospital? The first thing the first year residents do is insert a needle into a vein with a couple of secondary valves on it so that they can draw blood or infuse medicines at will. Think of the fake mRNA “vaccines” as a similar procedure except they provide an access port to your natural immune system. The goal is universal inoculation, not because it provides lifelong protection against the CORVID virus like polio vaccines do against polio, but because it provides lifelong access to your RNA/DNA thru “necessary” booster shots every six months. And incidentally creates a revenue stream as wide as the Amazon river.

    Gasoline prices are increasing in this area, over $1 dollar per gallon more than last year at this time. My neighbor is put out by it. Yesterday he was going on about “the greedy oil companies”, “OPEC”, and “those shifty Arabs”, like it was 1973. When I suggested that the Biden administration is full of officials who actually invite higher energy prices in their campaign “to fight global warming”, he called me a crazy conspiracy theorist.

    Gasoline is one thing, but most people round these parts warm their houses in winter with No. 2 heating oil. If the price of that goes to over $4 per gallon, its going to be a problem.

            I was kidding based on a posting I saw at the Cambridge Food Co-op where some group was planning to do that. Not only stinking up the house, but conflating the temperature of a good compost pile (high) with the quantity of heat generated (far too little to heat even a small house).

            My inlaws have this warm-water system in their basement. Pretty slick. Provides a good base for heat coming from below, and then they can just supplement with the woodstove upstairs when it gets cold as balls.

            Hard part is you have to install the pipe-heating system before you lay the basement concrete, otherwise it’s massively cost-prohibitive to dig up foundation.

            “Ondol” is the traditional Korean custom of heated floors – though modern construction may have modified or done away with it.

            In 2018 I visited a very gracious ranch-style home above Berkeley. It was a Vietnamese family so we removed our shoes upon entering.

            I could immediately feel the warmth rising from the concrete floor and it was quite pleasant.

      In spite of what I have written elsewhere, I’m a believer in masking when done properly. For example I encourage Dr. Fraudski to wear a minimum of 8 masks sufficient to prevent inhaling of oxygen and speaking in public.

      And 8 dollar gasoline serves a vital need as long as it is only used as a pre-cursor to break down raw coca leaves during the manufacture of cocaine instead of being wasted fueling SUV’s.

      For Second Week in a Row: More COVID-19 Vaccination Deaths than COVID-19 Deaths in the US According to CDC and VAERS Websites
      JULY 18, 2021

      The VAERS website released its weekly numbers on Friday.
      There are now 11,140 reported deaths from the COVID vaccine in the United States.
      This is up from 9,125 reported deaths from the COVID-19 vaccinations total from last week.

        Define death from the Covid vaccine.

        Remember when everyone was saying that all the deaths were counted as Covid deaths and the number was phony, that Covid was a bad cold.

        Well, you are falling into the same trap with the vaccine. Are all these deaths from the vaccine or is everything just being counted as such. No real data exists. No data reduction, not even cause of death.

        A question, the number of vaccinations per week has hugely declined in the last two months. Why have the number of deaths skyrocketed? There is no data of shot versus death date to see if the number of later reactions have increased. Has there been a surge of actual Covid cases amongst vaxxed folks? Another real issue. What age groups are affected?

        In the words of Sgt. Schulz, “I know nothing, I know nothing”.

          Hey JAZ – three weeks ago My hubby, his sister and I caught the Delta at the local summer festival here in our little MO town. A couple of days were flu-like, but mostly the symptoms were like having a hangover. We are all Un-Vaxxed, and we lived! For the record, my husband is 63 years old, his sister is 61, and I’m 59. None of us are fat people and none of us are are on any kind of meds for chronic illnesses, so I guess that we are uncommon kind of people for this era.

          JohnAZ, I agree, and in fact, when a recent study in the UK showed that the mortality rate from the Delta variant was exponentially higher than if you were unvaccinated, I noticed there were assumptions made, and of course an article came out that “debunked” the data.

          But ironically, while the “debunking” article did bring up some good points, it didn’t disprove the findings, only made you question even more why the smaller group of people catching the Delta (the vaccinated), were dying in much higher numbers?

          Part of the debunking cited that you couldn’t dismiss the vaccine, because in the study, more unvaccinated people caught the Delta variant, and that was “proof” that the vaccine works, and who knows how many people it protected would’ve died? Fair, but there’s zero proof that all study participants were equally exposed, so that’s just an assumption as well, and still doesn’t explain why more vaccinated people died. You could argue that it’s better that more people total get it via being unvaccinated if less people would die overall.

          Also, the debunker ironically decided to ask, we don’t know how old these people were, or their comorbidities (talking about the vaccinated that died). Oh, so these things only count when vaccinated people die, not the general public? You can’t cherry pick qualifiers to minimize causality in one instance, and maximize causality in the next.

          It's alright to display your anti-global warming prejudices but please do so by researching facts and sharing them with us instead of engaging in one line shark attacks.

          I personally have examined two zero-net-energy houses located in challenging climates and can verify that the concept is valid.

          The first is located in Cannon Beach Oregon on a coastal site that sees far more fog than sunlight. It stores its heat with a series of bore holes 100' deep into the granite rock underneath. and collects solar radiation in hot water and PV panels. International award winner. Architect: Nathan Goode

          ps The build cost for this 2400 sq ft home was about the same as a 2800 sq ft conventional code standard house .

          The second is the Rocky Mountain Institute house in a very cold location in Old Snowmass.Colorado. It is basically heated by the waste heat from the computers running for the students at the Institute. It has gone 12 days with nighttime temperatures down to -30 with bananas and oranges growing in the atrium and the minimum temperature never falling below 68f. Built 35 years ago at a cost PSF similar to other high end homes in the area.

          You are absolutely right. Without a base of fact all statistics are just another form of lying.

          Deaths from the COVID virus? When the hospitals were paid a bounty for every death “associated” with COVID? When the flu was eradicated from the face of the earth by the simple action of re-naming it the Horribellus Virus? When Death by Harley no longer involved a Hog? And when “cases” were defined as anyone who tested positive on a test that was never intended for diagnosis and yields up to 96% false positives?

          ‘Has there been a surge of actual Covid cases among vaxed folks?'”

          Who knows since the CDC instructed doctors to stop testing “vaxed folks” to the same standard as un-vaxed Delusionals since everyone knows that the fully vaxed are immune.

          So the voluntary reporting system VAERS reports an exponentially rising count of deaths among the “fully vaccinated? Does that include false diagnoses? Of course.

          Consider the social context:

          1- Studies of other voluntary reporting systems show drastic undercounting of up to 100-1.

          2- Who benefits by reporting vaccine associated deaths?

          Doctors or hospitals?
          a) Actually filing a adverse reaction report is time consuming and somewhat onerous (Approximately 1/2 hr. of unpaid time..
          b) Most doctors work within the organizational structure of a large hospital or medical care system. Wasting time and losing billable hours filling out a report that reflects poorly on your employer or their contacts in Pharma may result in censure or being fired.

          3- If you are trained as a MD it is hard to conclude that symptoms in a patient are the result of a medicine you recommended or have taken yourself. Especially when your main source of up-to-date technical information is your drug salesman.

          Are the “fully vaccinated” dying from having received the non-vaccines? Almost certainly. How frequently? Logic says that it is some multiple of the incomplete VAERS reported incidences. ie +-30.000-50,000 Certainly not worthy of ostrich-like behavior!

          • Pat Ormsby July 21, 2021 at 8:48 am #

            Prior to this year, I’ve known two people who suffered severe reactions from flu vaccines 45 and 40 years ago, one wheelchair bound for decades, the other on a respirator for months, and I was unusual in knowing that many. This year so far, one relative and one friend in their 60s had high fevers but recovered, there was one sudden onset of a fatal heart condition in a physically fit older relative, and oddly enough, two lawyers of personal friends in the US, who were involved in litigation against 5G, suffered fatal reactions after receiving the jab. I guess that’s a coincidence, though.
            The latest statistics I’ve heard from Japan were some 350 fatalities, but I don’t have any references. A doctor’s group is suing to halt the vaccination campaign, which Japan appears to have initiated under economic pressure. Since mass vaccination began about a month ago, they’ve had a major spike in cases that appears on the verge of dwarfing the 2500 daily peak in Tokyo that occurred during the New Year’s holidays, despite the fourth declaration of an emergency ten days ago. With the Olympics about to start, it is very easy for them to focus on the handful of athletes entering the country who turn up positive and blame the surge on that. I don’t think “It’s surging because not everybody is getting the vaccine” would fly here somehow. But after a couple weeks of more subdued wheedling for vaccination, I see the TV trying to ramp up the pressure again somehow in a sort of mealy-mouthed manner. I guess they’ve been told by the WEF agendaists to get their act together.

      Automatic Earth had a link up earlier to some site where the guy had graphed it out. Numbers are available, but they (CDC/VAERS) don’t make it obvious for the average person.

    • brb July 19, 2021 at 10:43 am #

      The Gateway Pundit (via theautomaticearth.com) has an article up about the recent death comparison of covid & the vaccines in the USA:

      https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/07/second-week-row-covid-19-vaccination-deaths-covid-19-deaths-us-according-cdc-vaers-websites/

      As I understand it, the VAERS system is weeks if not months behind given that they’ve been overwhelmed so these numbers might get very interesting soon.

      TheAutomaticEarth.com is a good source for daily virus info (amongst other things):
      https://www.theautomaticearth.com/

      And on a weekly schedule, I’ve been rather impressed with Del Bigtree’s TheHighwire.com which has had numerous interviews with expert scientists and doctors on their podcast show.

      “Do you have a link for the covid deaths vs. vaccination deaths info?”

      tractorguy,
      Why go to the trouble? Who are you going to believe? Why?

      When the issue is as intensely politicized as it currently is?

      Pick a “truth” that supports your narrative.

      Who knows?

      • beantownbill. July 19, 2021 at 12:43 pm #

        That’s exactly correct, EF. The only “real science” is evidence-based (using evidence to to prove your point). The problem is, in this current world of pervasive grift, it requires a lot of research to determine the quality of the evidence presented. Just saying a person is qualified isn’t enough. You have to dig in and see if the person has real credentials.

        For example, someone may be called Dr— . But just because the person is really a doctor doesn’t mean they have expertise in the subject matter. There’s one case (of many similar) where a PHD psychiatrist wrote articles about covid. What qualifications do they have in virology? They are using their title (Dr.) to state an opinion. Just because someone posts a lot of articles and has a wide following doesn’t mean they have done acceptable scientifically-based research on the subject.

        • Night Owl July 19, 2021 at 3:09 pm #

          Post the article(s) in question so we can see what the focus was in the Covid context. There are quite a few mental health professionals writing about Covid and the psychological aspects of the hoax.

          Given your previous posts in this area, and inability to understand even the basics of many of the issues critics discuss with regard to the Covid Hoax, I am sure a look at the materials you reference would be most interesting to investigate.

    Great post, Jim. Your final sentence about ending up living smaller and closer to home was quite ironic because that’s exactly what psychopaths like Gates and Schwab want. But it might not quite be the “owning nothing and being happier” that they imagine. I look forward to the day when the government and all its corrupt pols are asking, “Hey, I wonder what the People are up to these days?”

    • Night Owl July 19, 2021 at 3:04 pm #

      I only see scale is being comparable. They want you to have less, but they also want to control what you consume and what you can do.

      The model Jim speaks of is very much how things are already in many parts of Europe — particularly outside of the big cities. Local supply chains never really died here.

      The centralization of the food supply, transportation, etc., and authoritarian means of control such as medical tyranny with social credit scores are an entirely different ball of wax.

      HtW,

      This was my amused reaction when authorities everywhere perked up and started bellowing “Your government is here for you! We won’t abandon you!” whereas they were in fact revealing their own fear of being seen as irrelevant – and incompetent.

      Which does of course cut close to the truth.

      Quite a few EMS agencies issue body armor. It’s not a new issue, more that it hasn’t made the “news”. Also, who wants to advertise they have body armor? Show and tell really isn’t the best safety plan. Keeping it quiet is a better plan. Said protection mostly stops handgun caliber, is somewhat bulky, and traps body heat. There is still a lot of potential for blunt trauma injury.

  9. SpeedyBB July 19, 2021 at 10:28 am #

    I have to confess I was not prepared for the volume of vitriol triggered by any questioning of the safety of the gene experiments. I unleashed some quite nasty and accusatory responses on the web from people I would otherwise have adjudged balanced and reasonable in considering such issues.

    Why so defensive? Will the house of cards blow away so easily?

    I am prepared to take my shot of Sinovac, a true vaccine (prepared from weakened viruses) as otherwise my Indonesian visa will not be renewed. The other stuff? The more I study the more alarming it gets.

    • Mostly Disagreeable July 19, 2021 at 10:36 am #

      The narrative of vaccine “safety” is firmly ensconsed but the narrative of efficacy is stumbling around like the villain in Wait Until Dark. They were simply not prepared for mounting evidence of vaccine failure.

      • O.G. Hawkins July 19, 2021 at 10:47 am #

        I Believe that they are prepared. I Believe that they game-planned more thorpughly than an NFL Coaching Staff before a playoff game.

        If more sheeple would’ve got poisoned, they’d’ve given us our final “normal” Summer.

        Instead, they go full-tilt Delta and crank up the zombie hate for the hip in mid-July.

    • Amman July 19, 2021 at 6:26 pm #

      The original Sinovac was weakened or inactivated virus. I would take that before the Chinese go to ‘vector’ or ‘RNA’ vaccines – whatever those damned things are.

      • SpeedyBB July 22, 2021 at 9:28 am #

        Amman, the PRC is leaping onto the bandwagon with their own version of RNA experimental medication. Allows them to appear to be more modern.

        It would not surprise me to see them phasing out the infinitely more predictable [safer] Sinovac in favor of the snazzy and futuristic injection.

        I daresay reports of blot clots and even deaths won’t dissuade them. China has historically not been too concerned with injury to the citizenry. Forty million dead, mostly through starvation, during the Great Leap Forward. That history is conspicuously avoided in the popular narrative today.

        I managed after some terrific workarounds in Jakarta and West Java to get my first Sinovac shot today, to fulfill the requirements of my “Advisor” visa in Indonesia. I’ll get my second one 30 days from now and that’s it.

        Felt a bit sleepy and unsteady an hour after the shot, but two hours later I was riding my Trek mountain bike through heavy traffic. Don’t expect it will kill me but I’m starting to grow epicanthic folds in both eyes. They make me look cute.

        • Amman July 23, 2021 at 7:28 pm #

          Haha. Well, daresay or hearsay, It is a peculiar and established habit from the last century to hold a present generation as culpable for or inclined to repeat real and/or imagined crimes from the past – both of which do exist in the Great Leap forward. We can speculate all we like but I don’t think today’s China will injure its own citizens with a vaccine or hurt any other citizen from another country. All the evidence tells me is the whole vaccine thing is linked to greed, the reset and possibly eugenics. Maybe the Chinese are Eugenic-minded and deem the rest of the world ugly? Possible?

  10. John of Red Hook July 19, 2021 at 10:29 am #

    The number of deaths in the VAERS system must put in their geographic context, especially if you want to compare things in the U.S.

    As of July 9, 5378 of those deaths occurred in the USA or its territories, 5613 are listed as foreign and 1026 have an unknown geography. Yes, I know all these numbers are massive undercounts.

    This is, of course, a disaster practically beyond comprehension. But if you use the 11,140 number and compare it to other data that is for the U.S. only, you risk having the Vaccine Is Perfect crowd trying to debunk what you are saying, since the REAL number of deaths are half what you are claiming. Therefore, anything you say can be disregarded.

      If you took the same quantity of unvaxxed folks, “a control group” with the same percentages of kidney, heart or lung disease, 160 million, I wound er how many deaths would occur in that group.

      This argument of vaxxed deaths is meaningless. Until a difference can be shown between vaxxed groups and real life groups, one to one in samples, the data means nothingdeaths.

      5600 vaxxed deaths, without a description of what they died from, on VAERs. What if the control group shows 3000 deaths?

      5600 – 3000 = 2600. Wouldn’t even be discussing it.

      And with the real vaxx deaths, maybe someone would be working on what the problems are instead of just ignoring things. Anti-vaxxers will not be able to stop vaxxing so maybe working on something constructive might be in order. Maybe curing the viral diseases.

      • Islander July 19, 2021 at 11:01 am #

        The problem is, I think, that there aren’t really any control groups. They haven’t done the phase 3 trials that would have produced solid data. They have not done the autopsies that would have pinpointed cause of death of those who died post-vax. They have not filled out the death certificates, called the Blue Form (cause-of-death section) correctly so that we would have reliable data to analyze and produce some meaningful statistics (after last year’s guidance that mandated ditching the heretofore clear instructions for filling out the immediate cause and contributary cause portions of the Blue Form).

        The problems with lack of data are evident in all efforts to try to come to grips with WTF is going on with any aspect of the covid op. And, it’s all politicized. Because it is not really about health.

        I highly recommend the medical bulletins I get from an English doctor, Sebastion Rushworth, who practices in Denmark (maybe Danish wife). This a.m. he just sent one about the gap between how trials are conducted. Very interesting.

            Beryl

            They destroyed everything they could, no China data, no WHO data, no CDC or NIH data. VAERs is worthless. Every cure possibility was quashed, no effective preventive ideas were creates after Feb of last year. The only solution was some sort of vaccine that has many adverse effects and they too are being ignored.

            Why? Easy!!

            There are no other solutions except to try to suppress the disease. The Deep State knows it, the globalists know it. In a world used to having someone technical alleviate all problems, this disease is a real problem. When no solutions develop, politics takes over, Hence, here we are.

          • Hereward the Woke July 19, 2021 at 12:42 pm #

            Beryl, we, the unvaxxed, are the control group. So far, so good!

      • hmuller July 19, 2021 at 11:05 am #

        I think it highly unlikely that VAERS and the CDC would “doctor” the numbers to help the anti-vaxer case. But yes there are questions here.

        • JohnAZ July 19, 2021 at 11:50 am #

          My number one belief that this is geopolitical IS the lack of response to what has happened.

          Think about this, what has happened?

          Fauci, et al, came up with wash hands, separate and use masks, each with a small impact on the new case rate. It wasn’t until third quarter that the disease might be airborne and that none of the above had any effect. The vaxx panic started then, the PTB realized that only vaxx would stop airborne transmission.

          That is it. The only thing being held up for the latest non- surge is masks. Why? Because there is nothing else, nothing. I believe the vaxxed folks will suppress the current minute rise in cases, but it will now peak at small numbers and continue to decline as the non vaxxed people get the disease and become immune. Delta folks have far less intensity disease, and are younger as the vaxx concentrated in the elders. The impact will be minor.

          Unless you are in Wash. DC where the Covid is the end of the world.

      • John of Red Hook July 19, 2021 at 11:12 am #

        For anyone who might be taken in by this argument, VAERS shows a total of 75 deaths in 2021 and 24 deaths in 2021, for the U.S. and it’s territories, from ALL flu vaccines. The administration of flu vaccines should have a similar, if not older, age profile and is probably not a much smaller number of shots (certainly not a order of magnitude smaller).

        • JohnAZ July 19, 2021 at 11:38 am #

          How many patient, doctor connections report flu shot reactions? How many folks get the flu so bad they even report it to anyone?

    When all of the hyper-elaborate systems and long supply chains break down, as they surely must, the result will be outright savagery until things have sorted themselves out in a Darwinian fashion.
    Those who think they’ve solved that conundrum by having a bug-out bunker in the mountains loaded with guns, ammo, and dried rations will find out that they are just easy targets for the locals

      There are no answers. Every solution we hear from special interest groups is baloney.

Let’s see, if we converted all roads back to dirt, how much warming would decline? The greatest disappointment will happen when eliminating all gasoline does nothing to AGW. What has been getting bigger, mor global and moving North over the last 200 years? Cities and the heat islands they cause.

      JHK has prophesied that society will do nothing about Peak oil and global warming because it cannot. I agree with him. What happens will happen. What will the world look like? Take the amount of oil projected and decide by the amount produced now. That factor can be applied against just about everything, population being the most appalling.

          local shop in Reno cannot get ANY rolling stock. NONE !
          cept those evil mopeds for $3 to 12k, but only sizes XS or XL. . .

        eBay: BikeWagon – rear derailleurs

        I’ve been using BikeWagon for a couple decades, and a few other reputable eBay sellers. No supply issues yet. Recently ordered cassette, chain, ring from 3 different sellers, all arrived promptly. It’s a better situation because they are under time pressure of a listing, so they won’t sell something that maybe they’ll have in a week or two. By contrast, I ordered some brake pads from Amazon…three months ago…and…still waiting…

        My guess is someone is choking the supply lines they can control, but there is stuff on the edges happening anyway.

      “Although electronic assemblies constitute about 40% of total car costs, according to a Deloitte report, the semiconductors themselves add up to only $400. The average price of a new car is now $40,768 according to Kelly Blue Book. So lack of components that cost just one percent of the total vehicle cost are holding up sales.”

        Prospero-

        I very much agree.

        Detroit’s issues are cascading.

        I am in the MIC and our electronics volumes are too low to bypass Detroit’s influence for chip allocation.

        I have also noticed that used car prices continue to creep upwards on Autotrader.

    Oh,and a followup on my exposure to the bug. My inlaws who are housed in two seperate facilities a few miles apart tested positive after my wife and I visited on Friday. Both have been vaxxed. The MIL this morning is now too sick to be by herself,so my wife is going over to help. She is vaxxed,I’m not. The assisted facility my MIL is in has 19 cases right now. I’m guessing 99% of those people are vaxxed. You’d think it would be at least a local news story, but NADA word. I’m afraid it’s the leaky vax thing happenning in real time. Story here.

      Either the individual response to the vaccine makes it ineffective, or the Vaccine may be causing side effects causing Covid reactions. If the folks check positive, probably the former.

      The most frustrating things about this pandemic is the lack of real interest from the medical PTB about it. We understand very little about it. On purpose? It sure allows every degree of BS to be spun about it.

    Excellent essay, Mr. K.

    You have long advised interpersonal cooperation as essential for the loco-regional reset which must inevitably occur. I agree.

    Maricopa county election board member wrote the following in an October 22, 2020 email:

    “Next, we’ve heard you and we know youre hearing issues and concerns about the Sharpie Markers. Starting tomorrow, 10/23 and through 11/2m we are asking that Clerks hand voters BALLPOINT PENS ather than markers. We NEED to use Markers on Election Day, but for now and through 11/2, hand voters a Ballpoint Pen. You have plenty of pens in your supplies right now.”

    Why did they need to use markers on election day???

    the answer is obvious, thin non-authorised paper and bleedthrough

          “Ballots should be filled out with a black or blue ink pen. One bold line connecting the head and tail of the arrow is sufficient for a tabulation machine to count your vote. Do not use a marker or sharpie, since they tend to bleed through and will damage your ballot.”

      Are you kidding? This information is easily acquired. For starters, there were 74,000 mail-in ballots cast for which there was no record of them having been officially mailed out by the county. Where did these ballots come from? There are ballots printed on the wrong paper, lacking a watermark, and lacking a number that was included on proper ballots. There were votes, by people who were not registered until after the election, counted. There were votes counted that were received after the election. There were 18,000 votes counted, from people who were quietly removed from the voter roles after the election. It goes on and on.

    Excellent prose as usual James Howard: Twice jabbed limey minister tests positive. Now, either the jab is quite useless at preventing covid or the test is patently worthless at diagnosing, which it was NEVER intended for. All should be immune at this time to screams of “rising positive cases!!”.
    No vaccine has EVER survived several hundred attributed deaths, no less thousands, before being pulled. Does anyone think the CDC would error on the side of truthfulness on attribution of death to the jab? So multiply reported numbers accordingly. JAZ, when has a virus EVER been cured? Tamed yes, cured hell no! Interesting to observe defense mechanisms at play from an otherwise erudite contributor, but there it is on screen. I am also an RN and all the deaths attributed to covid around southern Virginia were old/obese/poor health. The 98/99% survival rate seems accurate vis-a-vis co workers contracting covid. From bad cold to BAD flu.
    What I cannot fathom is why the MIC is pushing a really bad experimental, untested drug on millions. The cull the heard to reduce our killing Mother Earth is pure toddler monster under the bed tripe. All that makes sense is money and so money it shall be.
    Friday’s ref to the U.N. had me rolling. Having seen these “warriors” in slow to no action, any U.N. “Takeover” would be destroyed by any street gang of dem city origin. Give me 15/20 motivated teens and we’d stop any U.seless (mentally) N.eutered convoy and take their equipment.

      Money is, of course, nice, but control and power are better. Apparently they have developed a graphene-based, self-assembling neural net, that they expect will be very useful going forward. At least with regard to the people who survive the implantation. There is a paper on it from some time back. I’ll see if I can locate the video where it was mentioned. Such papers are hard to locate and are often hidden behind a paywall. Apparently, it was initially developed to modulate such things as epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease, replacing the more ponderous electrode devices used some years back.

    I have been checking into some stock purchase opportunities and it looks like pharmaceutical manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna might present a very low risk factor during the current economic uncertainties.

    The experimental COVID-19 mRNA vaccine drugs produced by Pfizer and Moderna instruct cells to make what is called a “spike protein” which is claimed to provide a way for your body cells to build a defense against the virus that causes COVID?19. The long term effects these radical new experimental drugs are unknown, yet these vaccines are promoted as being both “safe and effective.” Pfizer and Moderna have already made billions of dollars during the COVID pandemic and are sure to make many billions more in the near future.

    Pfizer and Moderna enjoy total immunity from liability if their experimental COVID drugs cause death, disabilities or other problems. Mandatory vaccinations for adults and children are now becoming a requirement for many jobs and for students attending certain schools. Many travel and social gathering restrictions for unvaccinated people also remain in place. Another distinct advantage these pharmaceutical companies enjoy is that the government, mass media and social media are currently censoring or banning reports of adverse reactions to all COVID vaccines.

    A door to door, vaccination campaign may soon become a reality, resulting in additional billions of dollars being spent on these experimental mRNA vaccines. The continual introduction of new COVID “varients” will allow Pfizer and Moderna to produce a wide variety of “booster” vaccines, resulting in many more billions of dollars in profits.

    I have ruled out Johnson and Johnson as a good investment due to their extremely poor management of vaccine production. A manufacturing subcontractor in Baltimore mixed ingredients from the coronavirus vaccines of Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca. As a result, 15 million doses needed to be destroyed. It is unknown how many other flawed vaccines Johnson and Johnson produced and what damage they may have caused. Johnson and Johnson is currently considering bankruptcy proceedings due the many lawsuits which resulted from its asbestos-laden baby powder. The company has also recently been found to have cancer-causing Benzene contamination in its sunscreen. While Johnson and Johnson faces zero liability for whatever damage its experimental vaccines may cause, the company still has the legal responsibility of making sure that its other products are safe.

    Karl Denninger has a lot of facts and commentary on the vaccines and scamdemic in one convenient article:

    Plenty of people have tried to discredit “hesitancy” with the Covid shots.

    Calling people “uneducated hicks” and similar slurs is unlikely to lead anyone to believe those pushing the shots, of course.

    Never mind the other lies.

    Oh yes, lies.

    The CDC famously testified before Congress that a mask was better than a vaccine in September of 2020. Had that been true there would have been no winter surge; compliance rates were higher than vaccine herd immunity requirements by far in basically every part of the nation. Yet the surge happened. The claim was false and there was zero accountability for that lie despite being an act of perjury and the hundreds of thousands of corpses generated by it.

    That wasn’t the only false claim. Psaki falsely claimed the other day the shots were “approved” by the FDA. Nope. They have EUAs, but not approvals. Yes, the makers want approvals (obviously) but the President, through his spokesperson, directly lied.

    Two Covid-19 vaccination centers were ransacked in less than 48 hours in France, over the weekend of July 16 to 18. In the department of Isère, a vaccination center was vandalized in Lans-en-Vercors during the night from Friday to Saturday, we learned from the mayor of this town, confirming information from the regional daily The Dauphiné freed.

    “The municipal building in which the vaccination center was installed is completely out of order, all fire-fighting systems have been opened,” explains the mayor of the city, Michaël Kraemer. Furniture, syringes and compresses were also ransacked.

    “1940”, “ARN = danger”, “Vaccine = genocide”: anti-vaccine inscriptions and crosses of Lorraine were also tagged on the building and the tourist office. “We make dubious and despicable shortcuts, it is a lack of culture and total respect for the history of Vercors,” high place of the maquis during the Second World War, denounces Mr. Kraemer.

      Look where the race origins were.

      The African continent provided most of what the humans needed, they did not have to work at it very hard to survive, same with the Natives of North America, or Australia or the East Indies. Most societies were Hunter gatherer until contact with European folks in the 1500 to present.

      Most of the Northern hemisphere, IOW most of the humanized earth, humans had to contend with seasons, freezing temperatures, and their effects on food supply. It is not surprising that most technical innovation over the millennia came fro Europe and East Asia. Neanderthals have been counted as dumb for a long time, BUT could it be that they taught the Homo Sapiens group how to survive in Europe and just interbred with them. We may owe our present Caucasian nature to that blend.

          I don’t know much about Australian Aborigines, but I think you’d have a hard time making a case that African blacks had a “vibrant, stable culture for tens of millennia.”

          European whites probably also had, in general, a “vibrant, stable culture for tens of millennia.” They too were hunter-gathers during much of that time, or semi-sedentary pastoralists, or early argiculturists.

          These European white cultures probably, for the most part, compared favorably to African culture over the same period. (Tens of millennia is a LONG time, and much depends on time and place.) I don’t think we can know that for sure.

          What European whites DID do was advance technologically, domesticating livestock, including the horse, inventing the wheel and wheeled conveyances, building seaworthy boats, and gradually advancing in metalurgy, architecture, mathematics, and the development of a written language.

          I’m not sure I susbscribe to the belief that these advances were the result of cold-climate survival demands–or at least not wholly.

          I do feel fairly confident in the belief that more advanced societies are “better” and more prosperous–and that this “noble savage” idea that gets so much promotion is mostly horseshit. Here in the US, much of this nonsense is promoted about Native Americans, mostly by Hollywood, when any kind of realistic overview of much of Native American culture shows them to have had little going for them in that department.

          Europeans may not have been any better–though I suspect that they were, overall, at least marginally better culturally, being at least in possession of (and often guided or restrained by) decently humane religious and philosophical tenets. More primitive cultures did not even have that.

          We also see that African blacks and Australian aborigines do not seem to be able to master these advances or the skills that gave rise to them, even when they’re on offer. I’m speaking here as a former teacher who taught in an urban black school district for many years. In a typical 11th grade class, more than half of the kids–maybe as many as 80%–could not read. If a kid can’t read after 12 years in school, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that they are simply not able–though there is a percentage of them that ARE able. I suspect they couldn’t do basic arithmetic either, though I have no direct knowledge of that.

          What should our attitude be to large groups of people who are, in the context of a modern technological society, very low-functioning? This winds up being a moral question, I think.

          There really isn’t any “shadow side” to technology. There is a shadow side to humans.

          • Yohannon July 19, 2021 at 9:28 pm #

            Bravo. Making excuses for Blacks is a full time job. They lived in the Tropics! The Jungle! Well other people lived in the tropics and built civilizations. The Maya and the Khymers of Southeast Asia being just two. They didn’t have to? Maybe they wanted to.

          • gustafson.robert.22 July 19, 2021 at 9:33 pm #

            This is certainly a very typical outlook you outline.

            However, this blog’s author does not take this typical, i’ll even say hopelessly cliched approach and does not hold the technological “advancement” of western culture in much esteem, in fact blames much of contemporary cultural problems specifically on this (so-called) advancement. Personally, i would probably go even further than he does.

            White pride should not be based on technological successes, in my opinion. Viking exploits, yes. The reindeer herders of northern sweden, yes. Contemporary techno-society, no.

            “Noble savage” exaggerations are an error only in so much as they sugar-coat realities of primitive people. Writing off serious sustainable culture achievements primitive peoples as “noble-savage-ism” is the worst kind of simple-mindedness…a perfect example of the flavor of “contemporary conservatism” i was criticising in my post. In fact, you yourself seem to be a perfect example of the generalities i was criticizing.

            Also, there are plenty of particular african tribal societies with equivalent cultural achievements to native americans, australian aborigines, papua new guineans, as well as the norwegian primitive tribes, the amazonian, all of them.

            Encounters between more and less technologically advanced cultures and groups had been taking place for millennia before Europeans managed to cross the Atlantic and also to reach islands in the Pacific. (It is ironic, or paradoxical, that Pacific Islanders possessed the “technology” to make vast passages in the Pacific.)

            I am not a huge fan of Jared Diamond, but I think his main thesis in Guns, Germs, and Steel makes sense: That there was ongoing cross-fertilization of cultures on the Eurasian land mass and this accounts for most of the technical progress made in both China and Europe.

            When Euroupeans crossed the Atlantic they encountered cultures that were generally less advanced except that some were advanced in remarkable ways, even though they did not have the wheel. It seems that some of the most advanced were basically slave societies (Incas).

            This post has gotten longer than I planned. The main point is that the encounter between North American and European culture and society was inevitable. From my reading it seems that virtually all of the Indian societies wanted to acquire the new European artifacts such as guns, copper pots, etc. A portion of them also wanted to acquire the cultural advances: reading, arithmetic, knowledge of history. Many of the women wanted to learn to spin and weave—European textiles were major advances in quality of life in the context of child care. They also grasped that you couldn’t just take what you wanted and continue with the earlier way of life. This was a clock that could not be turned backward.

            But a portion of them only wanted the material advances and weren’t interested in learning to read, etc. This resulted in horrible internal clashes last lasted from the late 17th century up until the the era after the Civil War. These different factions became entangled in the struggles between different groups of Europeans on the American continent. The whites–often missionaries and other religious— who wanted to ensure a decent deal for Indians were soon overwhelmed by land hunger of those who streamed into the continent after the American Revolution, at a time when “the frontier” was western Virginia, Georgia, etc. and “the west” was western Arkansas, Missouri, east Texas, etc.

            A really wonderful book that presents these dilemmas of the Native Americans who were “discovered” by Europeans via the story of two leading Cherokee families (lots of documentation but reads like a novel) is John Ehle’s The Trail of Tears: The Rise and Fall of the Cherokee Nation.

            The Cherokees were not all saints and victims. Native Americans understood power struggles very well. There were also among them ambitious demagogues who used the situ to channel resources to themselves and their clans, kept slaves, etc.

          • gustafson.robert.22 July 20, 2021 at 9:25 am #

            I like your post islander. Guns germs and steel is primary reading for me.

            He presents the contact of Native american culture and European culture in the 15th century as inevitable, and inevitably disadvantageous for the natives…disease being the number one factor among many. I absolutely agree. However, it does not argue for European cultural superiority…only the inevitability, and super-human (beyond human) causality of history.

            Native americans are perfect examples of all humanity…we are all savages and none are naturally noble. However, when you judge economic and societal structures against each other, you can conclude things about which is closer to an ideal societal mode for human life. Primitive cultures such as many North american cultures (though not all, certainly not the Mayans for instance), in my opinion, are categorically superior to European technological civilization on economic and societal terms – on the basis of quality of life and sustainability/longevity.

            In reply to Yohannon:

            Blacks’ low IQ scores are often attributed, by their apologists, to the cultural bias of the tests. The problem with that argument is that blacks appear to be almost the only racial/ethnic group on the planet that are thus handicapped.

          • Anthea July 21, 2021 at 1:27 am #

            In reply to Gustafson:

            The reason African blacks and Australian aborigines did not advance technologically was/is due to sheer, stark intellectual incapacity–which is observable and verifiable today, both by IQ testing and by their manifest inability to master abstract subjects like math, or, in many cases, to even learn to read.

            Whites of European extraction do, for the most part, have these intellectual capabilities. They are not only able to gain at least a basic mastery of reading, mathematics, and logic/reason, but also able to innovate by working from these foundations.

            Your notion that intellectual capacity is no better than–and perhaps even inferior to–an intellectual deficit is not very persuasive.

            Capability is always better than incapability. It is certainly true that intellectual capabilities can be misused and can have negative applications. Unfortunately–and, as a matter of fact, manifestly–intellectual incapability and deficit also leads to a rather bad place. I would go so far as to say that intellectual deficit and incapability will and does lead to a far worse place. I think all of us know this from both broad real-world observation and from personal experience.

            Many of us have neighbors or even family members with intellectual deficits. They can be quite pleasant people (if they are carefully trained). We also know that they would come to grief if left to their own devices, and will inevitably have a life-long status as dependents on others.

            Intellectual deficits are an unqualified “bad thing.” Intellectual competence is, in itself, an unqualified good a superior thing.

            Gustafson, “…which are the ultimate terms…”

            Which would seem to lead directly to population controls.

            Even with the “tread lightly on the land” way of life of Native Americans they majorly affected the surrounding ecosysystems that supported them—that they had to defend against one another their hunting and gathering territories.

            Hence the importance of the warrior culture.

            I admit to knowing (a bit) more about these issues from my reading basically about the Indians of the Northeast and Southeast. Things probably looked a lot different in the Northwest with the incredible abundance of fish and the much more unforgiving Southwest. Perhaps the California Indians had it best!

            There is evidence that Indians of New England were already under population pressure before colonists arrived (analysis of layers of middens, etc.). That is, also before the plague caused by some unknown earlier European contact (fishermen?) that had already depopulated the area.

            An excellent discussion, very readable, of the differences in the ways Indians and English viewed and used the land in the Massachusetts area is William Cronon’s Changes in the Land.

            Yes. Really, population pressures are a constant possibility for every species. Only deluded societies deny it. Rather live in one that acknowledges the dangers of overpopulation and has traditional behaviors to keep them under control…as opposed to our culture of total denial of a fundamental reality of life on earth.

            @ Gustafson:

            “Anthea can’t even entertain the idea that other cultures simply are not interested in or aroused by his precious mathematics and other SUBJECTS.

            “embarrassing”

            It isn’t that they are “not interested in or arounsed by” abstract subjects. The are simply incapable of comprehending or mastering them, due to cognitive deficits.

            Mathematics, reason and logic, and the scientific method are tools–very valuable tools with limitless practical applications. They are also, and equally importantly, tools for apprehending truth and engaging with reality. They rid the mind of all manner of falsehoods, stupidities, fanciful and wishful thinking, superstittions, gullibility, and emotionalism.

            To argue that this is undesirable is like arguing that humans should never have learned to make fire, and that those who couldn’t figure it out were somehow superior to those who could. Because mastery of tools = BAD. Mental incapacity = GOOD.

            You can look at Africa and see that mental deficiency just does not lead to a good place either culturally or practically, as is also evident with black “culture” in the US.

          • gustafson.robert.22 July 21, 2021 at 6:19 pm #

            Anthea,

            I’m not opposed to nuance on these issues. I don’t assume every race and lineage of humans is perfectly equal in capacity necessarily. However, your the outlook you describe is the most blunt cliche of a white “racist”…straight out of 1925.

            I think you are simply dead wrong. In large part these people are not interested in western learning. What will they gain personally? Little. On top of that, it’s an admission of cultural defeat.

            Also…you utterly leave out in the most shameless way …these cultures, especially in Africa, are scarred beyond recognition by European colonialist centuries.

            So you’re trying to teach math to people whose cultures have been uprooted entirely for centuries by …you (whites)…and to people who also have next to no motivation to give a shit about your math class.

            You really need to update your incredible myopia

        JohnAZ said, “We may owe our present Caucasian nature to that blend.”

        We are called caucasians because our forefathers were travelling through the Caucausus Mountains on the way to “the Isles”. The people that were already there assumed these new people from the SE were from that area so they called them caucasians, and the name stuck.

        “Whereas thou sawest that he gathered another peaceful company, those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Hosea, the king whom Shalmaneser, the king of Assyria, led away captive; and he carried them away into another land. But they took counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind [ awdawm ] dwelt, that they might keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land. And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow passage [ the gate ] of the river. For the Most High then showed signs for them, and held still the flood till they were passed over, for through that country was a great way to go, namely a year and a half. The same region is called Asaareth [ Ararath, Ararat, Amenia – different forms of the same word ].”

        FYI, it seems to me the Northern Europeans were pretty much living in darkness until the Romans opened their eyes.

        I’m hard pressed to think of any significant contributions, or great cities or centers of civilization in Northern Europe before the Middle Ages. Please feel free to share. It is quite possible, I am simply ignorant.

        One the other hand, most everyone in this space will know of some, or all of the following:

        The Romans owed a great deal to, and sought to emulate, the ancient Greeks.

        Athens built the Acropolis 2500 years ago.

        Persia was a great civilization. Babylon.

        Ancient Israel and Egypt.

        We know all about them.

        India had a sophisticated civilization (though I know little of it).

        In a world where distances where much bigger, China was the Asian equivalent of the Roman Empire, and the two were separated by thousands of miles, with Persia and India in between.

        Every entity I mentioned above, except for parts of China, has warmer weather than northern Europe.

    Most excellent offering today, James, thank you!

    “Countries with the highest vaccination rates are showing the most new Covid cases.”

    One would think that this would be the headline splashed across the news sites. But there’s that pesky narrative they need to stick to, that ‘vaccines are safe’.

    I do feel like I’m on acid every time I see any ‘news’ reports these days. The surreal aspect of it has hit an all-time high.

    And, what exactly are ‘cases’? We know the PCR test is flawed to the point of being useless. I would like to know how they are detecting these ‘cases’. If they are using the word to describe people who are sick after the jab, that would seem to be vaccine injury, not a ‘case.’ I wish there were some clarity there.

    It does appear that muddying the waters has been the real goal of the covid19 hoax engineers from the beginning.

      When somebody wants to exaggerate something they say 99%. Never 85% or 97%, always 99%. Even if unvaccinated people were dying in larger numbers, which they aren’t, would you expect the figure to be 99% or does that sound like unsubstantiated bullshit to you?

      In England and Wales, 63% of people dying with the Delta variant have been vaccinated, and 36% unvaccinated.

  39. UrbanHick July 19, 2021 at 1:07 pm #

    Jim, I’ve gone to trusting what you had to say on urban design to fact checking everything you say the way I do forwarded emails from my octogenarian father.

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/06/28/fact-check-covid-19-vaers-death-reports-not-verified/7587577002/

    “Deaths reported to VAERS are not a “death toll.” The database includes all serious adverse events following vaccination against COVID-19 — regardless of whether the vaccines are to blame. There have been more deaths reported to VAERS following COVID-19 vaccination than for other vaccines, but experts told USA TODAY that’s not because the vaccines are deadly. Anti-vaccine advocates have erroneously cited the database for decades.”

    “After someone receives a COVID-19 vaccine, their healthcare provider is required by law to report all serious adverse health events, even if the provider does not think the vaccine caused that event. These events can include death, inpatient hospitalization or a serious case of COVID-19. That reporting protocol is due to the fact that the FDA authorized the COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use.”

    And it mentions:

    “Perhaps most notably, Fox News host Tucker Carlson featured the number of deaths reported to VAERS in a May 5 segment of “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

    Is that where you’re getting your info?

    I’m glad to hear COVID deaths are low. (Assuming that’s correct, but I’ll also want to fact-check that when I get a chance.) But you know when else they were low? In February and March of 2020.

    And that was when we had a far less contagious version of the bug than the delta variant.

    I’d be happy to leave unvaccinated people to their own devices but my concern is that all these unvaccinated people are going to breed an even more vigorous variant that blooms and blossoms and tears right through the vaccinated and unvaccinated populations alike.

    Spreading unchecked like lies on the internet.

      Are you aware that only 6% of reported Covid deaths are actually due to Covid?

      The current tally for deaths in the US is 613,086, which means only 36,785 people have died from Covid.

      Keep living in fear and believing the lies.

    • Slugoon July 19, 2021 at 1:49 pm #

      Well how about applying the same standards to Covid deaths where any death within 28 days of a positive test is classed as a Covid death regardless of whether Covid is to blame? Maybe if we did that the unchecked lies would even out, huh?

      If you want facts then you may also be interested in the fact that the Delta variant has been cited in more deaths in the vaccinated than the unvaccinated in England & Wales. Sorry if that doesn’t fit your own narrative.

      And have you given any thought to the possibility that mass vaccination itself has caused these so-called variants?

      ” all these unvaccinated people are going to breed an even more vigorous variant that blooms and blossoms and tears right through the vaccinated and unvaccinated populations alike. ”

      What is the selector mechanism operable in the untreated but inoperable in the treated? Since the treated are supposed to have acquired some suppression mechanism, I can understand that the treated would be the breeding ground for a variant that avoids that suppression mechanism. It is like prostitutes who take daily antibiotics to avoid bacterial STDs becoming the source for antibiotic resistant strains.

    Jim, you can make that line between Montauk and the Farallon Islands into a great circle and spin it, gimbal-like, any which way around the globe. The insanity is everywhere.

    I’ve been chatting to quite a few people recently about vaccinations. Nobody I’ve spoken to has been bothered about me not having one but a great number of them admit to having had it purely in the hope of avoiding travel restrictions or any of the other increasingly heavy-handed tactics being employed, not because they have any fear of a virus. How screwed up is that?

    Meanwhile, we are celebrating “Freedom Day” here in the UK with the delicious irony that our Prime Minister and Health Secretary (double-jabbed, of course) are both locked in their houses isolating. Roll on that seismic systemic shock.

    Two centuries ago Sarah Baartman died after years spent in European “freak shows”.

    Now rumours over a possible Hollywood film about Baartman’s life have sparked controversy.

    Sarah Baartman died on 29 December 1815, but her exhibition continued.

    “The trouble is: narrative is not the truth.” JHK

    Just what did people think George H.W. Bush had in mind when he spoke the words “New World Order”?

    Just who did people think Gingrich and Kissinger were defining when they spoke of the “Useless Eaters”?

    Why do so many people believe the narrative they have lived and acted out in the late 20th and early 21st centuries is a life raft and not a pair of concrete sneakers?

    What is the difference between Afghanistan and the United States? The citizens of Afghanistan are willing to die for their children’s future and the citizens of the United States are looking for the highest bidder.

    I saw that link you posted yesterday Malth.

    I doubt any film about Sarah Baartman would be a blockbuster. She’s not exactly a heroic figure. No doubt a movie featuring this woman would be more about racism and colonialism than anything else. Having said that, circus and carnival sideshows from back in the day that featured ‘freaks’ (mostly people physically and intellectually handicapped)? appealing to the pruriently voyaristic, were both cruel and crude.

    This poor woman was shown around the UK, the promoters made a few bucks, and she died at age 26.

    Malthus, LA is in lockdown apparently. What’s that mean for you, personally? Can you still shop for groceries, order in a restaurant etc. Also, the tens of thousands of homeless people on LA streets, how are they ‘Locking Down’?

    “… a relentless ‘narrative’ machine, and all it does is spin out one technicolor whopper after another.”

    When we are little kids, we sit down in our Daddy’s lap and say, ‘Tell me a story, Daddy!’ And so Daddy comes up with one or two to humor us the eager youth. A story true or made up – it makes little difference.

    Now that we are ‘adults’, we sit down in the lap of The Indoctrination Box be it television, computer, cellphone, video, whatever… and we say, ‘Tell me a story, My New Daddy!’ And so our New Daddy makes up story after story to humor us eager ‘grownups’. And just about every story that Our New Daddy tells us is a damned lie. And with each story, the lies get bigger and more outlandish.

    But we love our New Daddy and we love to sit in His Lap and we love to be lied to… and so on and on it goes. New Daddy likes it this way. Those who benefit from New Daddy’s stories LOVE it this way. And now, we love it too. And the more outlandish the lies, the more we seem to eat it all up.

    “America is on a bad trip. The country has lost its way…”

    In the early ‘60s there was a TV show called Route 66. It was about two young men who freely moved about the country seeking fun and adventure and short jobs to get money to keep on traveling. And they found that fun and adventure and those jobs in every town they stayed in.

    If ‘Route 66′ were being made today, it would be about two young men or whatever sex they chose to be that day who fought restrictions and waved Covid passports around to be able to move laboriously around the country seeking fun and adventure and short jobs to get money to keep on traveling and finding none
    of any of that. In fact, instead of tooling around the nation from coast to coast they would heading out to cross the border in search of a place like the one they used to know back in the ‘60s.

    “These are the sort of shocks we’re facing. Things get very real, elbowing out the hallucinations. The long, strange trip sputters out. And then begins the long hard job of finding a way to live that actually makes sense.”

    The Route 66 boys are living the answer. Fast… loose… mobile… one step ahead of the devil on their heels that’s chasing them. And never ever sitting in Daddy’s lap ever again.

    South Africa is providing a sober look into a future with no one with any credibility in charge. Unemployment is 43% so people have plenty of time on their hands to think about how bleak the future looks and how mad they are. As far as I can tell, the police were ineffective and now the army has been called out to restore order. They were told 35 years ago after apartheid ended their lives would be better — so, JHK, it appears the narrative had a head on collision with reality.

    Our brave, heroic Democratic legislators have heroically, bravely fled to DC (the Mother Ship) rather than agree that people need an ID to vote.

    Where was the concern for people with diabetes not being able to get insulin? 40,000 US citizens a year dying with treatable diseases? Yet the government is not only willing to give us free — and really expensive — vaccines but wanting to force them on people who do not want them. And it can’t even be said that they place other people at risk b/c at this point, everyone’s been exposed and has natural immunity. And they also know that children are at zero risk but are not beating the drum for them to be vaccinated.

    “The long, strange trip sputters out. And then begins the long hard job of finding a way to live that actually makes sense. Hint: it’s smaller, slower, closer to home, and in many ways better.”

    The latter is one of the reasons I moved to Europe. We live in a nice neighborhood not too far from the center of a medium-sized city, but some of our neighbors here have chickens and very impressive gardens, and we help each other out.

    Regarding the former: IDK about that. The WEF’s Covid and Climate hoaxes are far from sputtering out. The French are marching against forced vaccines, and Germany is dealing with what is starting to look like an episode similar to what happened when the power grid was taken out in Texas.

    The question here now seems to be whether the flood waters were purposely released on unsuspecting villages, as the nearby Talsperren were “allowed” to overflow. It would certainly fit with the “predictions” of coming climate catastrophes our DAVOS friends were recently warning of.

    Where have I heard this before?

    • Islander July 19, 2021 at 3:53 pm #

      HI, NO,

      As I started to look at the picture and think about it, I couldn’t help noticing

      (1) that the climate change people started bleating that this was caused by global warming **immediately.**

      It was indecent, really. A new form of “I told you so.”

      Almost like Schadenfreude.

      These types of sentiments are not uttered at a funeral.

      (2) there was a story by an English reporter named I think Stokes, writing for I think a Reading (UK) paper, in which she stated that the weather watchers in Germany give clear information some days before the heavy rains started that a very bad situation was shaping up in *exactly* the areas—the smaller rivers were named that became raging torrents— where the very bad situ shaped up. Question: Why wasn’t this info urgently transmitted to local authorities? Why didn’t the govs of the affected Laender send out emergency vehicles with loud speakers telling people to evacuate and where to go? Etc.

      There is a story in The Times but most of it behind a paywall
      https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/germany-knew-the-floods-were-coming-but-the-warnings-didnt-work-cn99wjxzs

      (3) Why didn’t Merkel ***immediately*** returnn from the USA or wherever she was on Wednesday, to take over directing the situation? Could it be that she is incapable of doing so?

      (4) As if on cue, the “global warming” message becomes: There must be a centralized office for all of Europe so that the way emergencies are dealt with is *consistent* throughout Europe. Uh, no. No centralized authority is needed if each country and each province does its job. Just like, say, each Land has its own education authority, etc. To use the failures of (some) local authorities to act professionally is not a good excuse to put idiots in charge of even more!!! Of course such an EU-level “Authority” would quickly manifest mission creep and provide a structure on which all kinds of other enforcement entities could be piggy-backed. All withouit a single vote of the electorate or national parliaments, more behavioral enforcement run from Brussels, one with a great potential to (mis)use and abuse fear to control people’s lives and choices.

      BTW, in the nice area where you live, are you coming under vax pressure, testing pressure, etc. ? Or are people leaving the unjabbed more or less alone?

      • Night Owl July 19, 2021 at 6:14 pm #

        Yep. This is the full-court press to fully realize the New Normal.

        “there was a story by an English reporter named I think Stokes, writing for I think a Reading (UK) paper, in which she stated that the weather watchers in Germany give clear information some days before the heavy rains started that a very bad situation was shaping up in *exactly* the areas—the smaller rivers were named that became raging torrents— where the very bad situ shaped up. Question: Why wasn’t this info urgently transmitted to local authorities? Why didn’t the govs of the affected Laender send out emergency vehicles with loud speakers telling people to evacuate and where to go? Etc.”

        This is an issue, certainly, but the bigger issue IMO (and this is the big debate here atmo) is the Talsperren. It appaers at this point that they let the floodwaters run over. It is one of those things that just doesn’t randomly happen. This is why I compared it to what happened in Texas.

        The fact that there is virtually no aid for the towns affected and (as you mentioned) that Merkel could seem to give a fuck is just another rotes Fähnchen for me.

        Lastly there is the fact that they are refusing to let groups like ElternStehenAuf assist, and they say it is for political reasons. The local politicians are participating in the destruction. And most of these towns are low-income folks ravaged by the lockdowns.

        If the criminals responsible for this ever hang, I will have a front row seat.

        • Islander July 19, 2021 at 6:51 pm #

          • Night Owl July 20, 2021 at 5:06 am #

            There is a piece up on Reitschuster right now that discusses it.

          • Islander July 20, 2021 at 9:13 am #

            N.O.:

            I understand the words here but I don’t get the point being made (https://reitschuster.de/post/zerstoertes-stolberg-hundertschaft-schuetzt-innenstadt-vor-pluenderern/).

            “Dass die Dreilägerbachtalsperre die Flut ausgelöst hat, ist in Stolberg gesicherte Erkenntnis. Dass die den Grundablass geöffnet haben, glaube ich nicht. Die ist irgendwann übergelaufen, und das war dann der Tropfen, der das Fass zum Überlaufen gebracht hat. Die Fehler wurden im Vorfeld gemacht.

            Die hätten schon am Freitag damit beginnen müssen, den Pegel zu senken. Das hätte vermutlich einen halben Tag Luft geschafft und so den GAU vermieden.”

            In what way did the Dreilägerbachtalsperre cause the flood? Are people saying that it should have been opened early so that the water could flow more gradually? Instead of waiting for the water to spill over the Talsperren? How would that have affected the total mass of water? The rain was falling everywhere, not only behind the Talsperren. From Google maps I can see that the whole area is full of little streams and appears to be tightly “managed.”

            I don’t see that any of the Talsperren broke. I don’t see that there were actual flash floods.
            What are people now saying would have been the best way to handle the huge masses of water?

            Maybe if the authorities had lifted their gaze out of their Corona-nabel for a while and looked at the real world around them this would not have happened. Kurz: screwed-up basic priorities?

          • Night Owl July 20, 2021 at 10:16 am #

            As I understand it here, they should have opened them to control or manage the flow instead of allowing them to overflow uncontrollably. Also, they had advanced warning that the dams were in danger of overflowing, but they did nothing. There was also discussion of non-functioning siren systems in a press conference recently.

            Basically, no one appears to have done anything. And of course, it appears local farmers and other private citizens are doing much of the cleanup. Like every other crisis of late, the little guy seems to be paying for everything.

            Hi Alba, I hope you’re feeling better and thanks for the link. I’ve read through it several times and I’m not sure what’s worse, the scale of the accusations or the fact that it will just get censored and buried.

            All of the legal points have been discussed here on the blog and called ‘conspiracy theories’ by many: censorship of opposing views, no interest in natural immunity or alternative treatments, pushing vaccines to the exclusion of all else, no system of vaccine follow-up or honest reporting, vaccination to get a vaccination passport and not for clinical need, nepotism, financial ties between government, PPE suppliers, Big Pharma and Bill Gates, fraudulent testing, dishonest presentation of death statistics, inciting fear and overstating risk, blatant lies, back-pedalling and goalpost-moving by government, regular rule breaches by government officials, symbolic and ineffective mask wearing…

            I’ve sent a letter to my local MP that is as strongly worded as I can make it while hopefully avoiding a knock on the door from the TikTok dancing police. Speaking of which, I was disappointed to see Cressida Dick’s name on the Cc list, a bigger tool of the establishment one could not find.

            I’m restarting my position that I’m not anti-vax, I’m pro-choice and, deeply cynical as I am by nature, what’s been going on these past sixteen months has done nothing to convince me that what’s going on here is normal or rational.

      I am also beginning to suspect a lot of dirty play with regards to these catastrophic events. We did find that it was the feds who caused the Texas blackout fiasco. And there were many questionable fires in CA, such as the Paradise fire, etc.

            The fact-checkers are right (again).

            How did the Texas grid go down?

            The administration of the grid decided to save money by not winterizing as recommended, because “it’ll never get that cold”.

            The Texas grid is separate from surrounding networks because the politicians at the time didn’t want to be part of something the Federal government MIGHT regulate. Your ‘fiasco’ was the result, yet the actual villians want to blame the Biden administration. Ha. Ha. Ha.

    ” The trouble is: narrative is not the truth. Generally, it’s the opposite of the truth. It’s manufactured counter-truth. The more narrative you spin, the faster you must spin off new supporting narrative to conceal the untruth of your previous narrative — until the national hive mind is lit up in unreality where nothing makes sense and the very language that separates humanity from the rough beasts becomes a social poison. ”

    Lol , well , as I have said many times before , you slit your own throat when you not only subscribed too , but jumped in with both feet , on the narrative , ” It was all about slavery ! ” concerning the American Civil War.

    Granted , the Confederacy was fighting to preserve slavery.

    But that is neither here , nor there.

    I’m pretty confident that at least 90% of the people who might read this are dressed head to foot in hats , clothes , underwear , and shoes , manufactured in countries not exactly admired and envied for their high wages and worker benefits , or their labor laws , or their human rights records.

    Ditto your grocery bill. Why do you think your grocery bill is as low as it is ?

    Hint ; It isn’t because fruit -pickers make 25 – dollars – an – hour and take vacations on the Riviera or Yellowstone.

    That is , your economy is as dependent on slave labor in 2021 as it was in 1861.

    Except you don’t call it slavery , which perhaps only indicates you are less honest and have less integrity than those knuckle – dragging Neanderthal Confederates ?

    No , whatever were the Confederate reasons , ” Manifest Destiny ” is a fine – sounding euphemism for Imperialism.

    And that is what Mr. Lincoln and his pals were fighting for.

    Likewise you slit your own throat with this business of underlining , in triplicate , in quadruple , and near 80 years later , the extermination of some Jews.

    As if a half dozen other genocides in the same time frame didn’t happen , or somehow weren’t just as important.

    — They weren’t important.

    The slaughter of some Ukrainians , Cambodians , Tibetans , Rwandans , etc , etc , etc , isn’t particularly of any great significance to the average Joe American.

    The extermination of some Jews in Germany is sooooo emphasized because it suits this narrative that the U.S. Military – Industrial – Complex Empire is necessary.

    Your ( ? ) government didn’t fight the Germans and the Japanese over human rights.

    Like the American Civil War , the motive of the U.S. government in fighting the war was for empire.

    Which brings us up to the present.

    It turns out that the price to be paid for being able to travel from coast to coast without a passport is pretty darn hefty.

    — too hefty for anyone who can’t afford to vacation in Monaco.

    It turns out that Manifest Destiny means the same thing as Globalization ; It means you don’t have a home , a country , anymore.

    As for the Military – Industrial Complex U.S. Empire ;

    History should have taught you that empire is never a good thing for the average Joe.

    But then , sadly , people never do learn from history.

    I suppose then that the end of the Happy Motoring culture , and they can pay Pakistani college graduates half of what they pay you , WILL teach you that empire was never a good thing for the average Joe.

      Kesa, the idea that the South was fighting to preserve slavery is debatable.

      As much as I dislike him on certain other issues, Morris Berman has some interesting chapters on this in Why America Failed.

      • KesaAnna July 19, 2021 at 6:46 pm #

        I’m mixed race so …..

        and long story short …..

        …. I don’t exactly , entirely , buy into the morally simplistic Uncle Tom’s Cabin – take on how slavery worked in reality.

        ” the idea that the South was fighting to preserve slavery is debatable. ”

        Like MOST wars , there were MANY issues.

        For example , I myself fly the Confederate flag , 365 days a year , because I subscribe to secession and subsidiarity .

        Secession ; Not slavery.

        Subsidiarity ; Not slavery.

        Naturally it drives me up the wall all these motives ascribed to me that don’t even apply.

        Its folks ascribing THEIR priorities TO ME more often than not.

        The Civil War was a fight for control of the American West.

        I base this contention on Colin Woodard, American Nations; Alvin Josephy, The Civil War in the American West; and John Ehle, Trail of Tears: The Rise and Fall of the Cherokee Nation; also Frederick Law Olmstead, The Cotton Kingdom.

        • Amman July 19, 2021 at 8:27 pm #

        • Yohannon July 19, 2021 at 9:50 pm #

          Yes, two different elites, basically. Promoting two different ways of life, the industrial vs the agricultural. Slavery was the symbol of the latter and the catalyst for what commenced. They did want to extend it, but it obviously would not have played much of a role outside the deep South. And it would have ended sooner or later in any case.

          With the taboo in place against Black farm labor, the Yankees were then enabled to bring in a new hostile people to work the Sacramento valley and ranches in general, namely the Mexicans. Now they’re everywhere, further weakening the Former United States of America (FUSA).

        • Tate July 20, 2021 at 11:37 am #

          Back in my libertardian days, I subscribed to the theory that the War of Northern Aggression was a fight for control of the American West. That argument has a lot of merit going for it.

          But that’s not in essence how to explain that conflict. It was more a war about what to do with a people who are inherently different than the White majority. Why do you think for thousands of years slavery was never a moral issue? But suddenly when one people enslaved a very different people, it became one? It’s because it opened up a host of moral abuses involving slavery that never existed before that era. People in their hearts don’t change, only circumstances do.

      Completely agree.

      • Night Owl July 20, 2021 at 5:54 pm #

        Indeed. The fact that slavery was ongoing in the North through most of the war is also something they never seem to teach the kiddies in school.

        • MaryQueen July 20, 2021 at 11:16 pm #

        • Islander July 21, 2021 at 8:31 am #

          NO:
          Do you mean the Civil War?
          In that case I am quite sure you are wrong.

          Pre–Revolution there was slavery throughout the colonies, although it had a very different character in the North from the South.

          States were admitted to the Union (officially, after the Rev) in pairs—no slavery in the north, slavery in the south. “The South” did start surprisingly close to NYC!!

          This page has some interesting tables on this:
          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_states_and_free_states

          The last northern state that permitted slavery was NY, until 1799.

          There was no single cause of the Civil War. There were many different and overlapping interests. It was IMO in great part a response to the changes wrought by the Industrial Revolution, radiating out from Britain.

          • Night Owl July 21, 2021 at 11:33 am #

            There were slave states in the North up to nearly the end of the conflict. The War Aims Resolution of 1861 established why the North was fighting, and stopping slavery was not part of that.

            Five slave states fought for the North and were ending slavery of key importance to the North, they never would have allowed those states to be a part of the coalition. Slavery also continued inofficially in the North even after the war.

            I mentioned before that (among other places), there is a great section in Why America Failed by Morris Berman on why the North was fighting the war.

            We know history is written by the victors, and I think this is a good example of exactly that.

          • Islander July 21, 2021 at 8:34 pm #

            NO:
            “There were slave states in the North up to nearly the end of the conflict. ”

            Do you have a source or sources for that statement?

            Some years ago read a lot of Morris Berman.

            I found a lot of his ideas interesting.
            Then I discovered that he actually was a s—, full of ridiculous prejudices as expressed in the blog he maintained, populated mostly by sycophants.

            I still found his ideas “interesting” but not so much.

            Not enough to trump the writings of other historians, not to be casually dismissed as the writings of the victors.

            However, he is worth revisiting.

            Will await your sourcing for slavery persisting in nonslave states of the North past the Civil War.

            Thanks.

            There are many very revealing and thought-provoking comments recorded by Frederick Law Olmstead in his journeys through the states of the antebellum South. He was extremely observant of all facets of the life, agriculture, land, culture, etc. of the South. The South was truly “underdeveloped,” despite the many large and profitable plantations in many regions (not all). The Cotton Kingdom has been criticized by the PC crowd because Olmstead didn’t gild any lilies. He also made an effort to convey how people spoke, and this has made his book enemies.

            Quite a lot of info on how plantations were financed by bank loans, the interest rates charged, the problems with the slave labor system—a system that many wanted to get out of but couldn’t see how. Even Olmstead acknowledged this.

    And I would say , roughly , the same thing about Germany.

    Granted , no , people weren’t exactly beating down the doors trying to get into East Germany.

    But , as long as East Germany existed , an alternative existed , however hypothetical the alternative .

    Hypothetical or not , the alternative , and the threat of the alternative , existed.

    Well, I haven’t been on German soil since 1975.

    So I’m guessing.

    And my guess would be that in a united Germany , unless you can afford a Mercedes Benz , and can afford vacations in Monaco , your alternative is …….

    ….. there isn’t one.

    A look inside one of the Covid 19 units at Cox South in Springfield, Mo.

    https://www.coxhealth.com/newsroom/inside-covid-19-unit/

    A staff member in one photo is the sister of a coworker; he was the one who sent me the link which Cox released today.

    Guessing some won’t even look at it, much less read it. Others will say the whole thing is a hoax, and maybe those people are crises actors. They will be wrong. But I can’t read JHK’s post and the comments today and not share a link to this story.

    I still think the bug that arrived in 2020 and ran through this spring was a serious risk only to the frail elderly and those with comorbidities. What showed up here not quite two months ago is worse, and hitting younger, healthier people.

    New info has presented itself locally, and I have had to revise my thinking. Hopefully what is happening here will not spread throughout the country.

          In the other corner, there are real Conservatives – like tucsonspur, St. Elmosfire and Elysianfields. Heck, even JohnAZ would qualify for this group. I lament the departure of Walter & Ol’scratch. From these guys, I get a reading of the political landscape of the Right, the actual Right, not the fruit loopy-Trumpian cohort of weirdos.

          The stats in MO, AR and a couple neighboring states contradict the stats you and JHK are referencing. That is why I am passing along the link. I have also yet to hear of anyone locally having serious adverse effects, although the latter is certainly just anecdotal only. Statistically, 97% of those hospitalized here have not had the shots.

          This bug is not just sitting in the Ozarks; it is already moving into KC and StL, both starting to see their own increases in hospitalizations. Once something like this gets to cities, it always seems to start rippling out to other places. In other words, this thing will eventually spread throughout the country.

          This process is why I initially doubted the covid 19 bug last year. All these hand wringing stories from NY and CA, while here, the deaths were a few very sick old folks in nursing homes. We had very few cases. The lecturing from pols like Cuomo and Newsom made questioning the official covid narrative a sensible thing to do, imho.

          We began normalizing in June, then in Aug with the return of college students, we had a spike in cases. Things slowed down again, then spike late Nov into Jan. Dec we had the highest number of hospitalizations which we expect to top this week. Normal viruses do not normally fill lots of hospital beds in July.

          In Jan, cases began dropping undoubtedly due in part to lowering the cycles for PCR tests. It is funny business like this that strengthens people’s resolve not to get the shots. Hospitalizations declined as well.

          By early May, it appeared we were out of the woods. We wouldn’t need a high vaxx rate to finally kill off the bug it seemed.
          Now, we are back with the same level of hospitalizations as winter, only a younger sicker patient load.

          Eventually the thing will burn through the local population but the damage will be significant the way the spread and severe cases are increasing.

    • Islander July 20, 2021 at 9:22 am #

      I certainly don’t say the whole thing is a “hoax.”

      I read this:
      ““We wish everyone could see what we are seeing,” says Jeffrey Atkinson, a respiratory therapist who works in the unit. “Perception is key, and we have very few ways of expressing those images and scenarios. Everyone needs to be doing their best to help see this through. Wear a mask, get a shot, come work an extra shift, whatever you can do. This will likely be our legacy in health care. And no one wants to look back and wish that they had done more.””

      “Wear a mask, get a shot, whatever you can do.”

      This may look reasonable in the local context and as directed toward health-care workers.

      But it is not the basis for an effective public health policy, because it is not science-based. It is emotion-based.

      The point of failure is the failure to apply effective treatment protocols early.

      It is also a failure to transform unavoidable deaths into a campaign of fearmongering that actually lead to more, unnecessary, deaths and imposistion of totalitarian rules in society generally.

      • Night Owl July 20, 2021 at 6:05 pm #

        I do. But hoax means different things to different people. There is a virus of some sort that they are labeling Covid-19, but its effects on 99 percent of the population are so impercepitible that it hardly matters what they are. And the test used to find it has been proven to be fraudulent beyond the shadow of a doubt.

        The narrative from start to finish has been a dark comedy, beginning with Wuhan coppers lassoing citizens on the streets and spraying them down with a good coat of Lysol, barring them in their apartments, etc. My favorite moments were citizens appearing to crumple to the ground mid-run and die, like something out of an old B-grade horror film.

        What you will notice here on CFN is that the lowest of IQ play lots of word games, and would appeare to be incapable of understand shades of grey or nuanced thinking.

        It makes for great entertainment.

    Jim, I think Durham knows who is now running the country. And, for those who haven’t noticed, the Democrats are not brooking any interference in their program to eradicate all vestiges of Trump and his supporters. Durham’s priority, at this point, is to complete his assignment in a way that will cause the least offence to those who must be obeyed.

    All Congressional Democrats are vaccinated. So what you say? So are 46 Republican Senators and about 100 House members last count. Remember when Graham and Rubio jumped the line?

    Rand Paul is not getting vaxed because he already had Covid.

    Trump is vaccinated

    DeSantis is vaccinated

    Tucker Carlson is vaccinated-100 to 1 odds

    (Carlson did not respond to a request for comment, and Fox News would not say whether or not the host had received the COVID-19 vaccine, though a network spokesperson did highlight comments that Carlson has made generally supporting the concept of mass vaccinations. (Carlson has hedged his warnings against the COVID-19 vaccine with a vague disclaimer, saying in broad terms that “vaccines are not dangerous. That’s not a guess; we know that pretty conclusively from the official numbers.”))

    TC knows about TV ratings.

    Many Republican governors are urging vaccinations, including ours in AZ.

    The pipsqueaks and mental midgets here are confounded. Why aren’t all these Republicans as smart as them in knowing that it’s all a big Pharma and Democratic money and power grab?

    Oh, the geniuses on this board!

    ‘Those likely to opt out of a vax are exactly those people who distrust what the government tells them, meaning probably people who did not vote for the current occupant of the White House.’ JHK

    Did the above mentioned Republicans vote for Biden?

    I like to step up to the truth ‘counter’ and get as much of it as I can. One of those truths is that spin is everywhere, and my ‘counter’ truths don’t unspin.

    • Yohannon July 19, 2021 at 10:17 pm #

      Yet thousands of Americans have died from the Vax, and hundreds of thousands have been injured. Tucker knows that and talks about it. You do not, obedient to the ruling Ethos to the very end.

      • tucsonspur July 19, 2021 at 10:31 pm #

        • MaryQueen July 19, 2021 at 11:11 pm #

          The vaccine has killed thousands of people and maimed (for life) hundreds of thousands. It’s all recorded in VAERS and other places. That’s why millions are now planning a march against the tryranny.

          It’s a shame you buy into the scam and believe proven liar politicians and the mainstream media personalities over decent humans.

          You choose your side, you live with it (or not – if what many scientists are saying about what will happen to the vaxxed this fall).

          Remember, these people you hold in high esteem at the height of the so-called pandemic were mixing & mingling in close quarters without masks when demanding we lockdown and wear them.

            Are you a decent human? Then why try to spook me about what will ‘happen to the vaxxed this fall’? If you are out and about, not wearing a mask (which you probably are, don’t lie), and you’re in crowds (which you will most likely carefully avoid), you will probably wind up hospitalized.

            Live with it. Soon, when you become ill, (maybe you’ll be lucky), you will know the meaning of gullibility.

            I haven’t been sick in 35 years, and I didn’t hide from the scary covids.

            As OG says, “TruStory”.

            I bike 10 miles daily and swim a half a mile. I take vitamin supplements. I’m a vegetarian. I am 57 and have a shitload of energy every day.

            I understand that vitamin d, C and other supplements + a great diet is the key to not getting viruses. So far, so good. No masking, no hand sanitizer, never stopped shaking hands with strangers, hugging or being near other people.

            Healthy as a horse. And when I drop dead, that’s fine. We all die.

            You haven’t been sick in 35 years? How old are you? 15? It’s highly unlikely that anyone can go that long a period and not catch something or not eat anything that’s a bit off, or any of the other ways you might get at least a little bit ill. I haven’t been seriously ill for much longer than 35 years (I’m 67) but I have been ill.

          • MaryQueen July 20, 2021 at 11:26 pm #

            It’s called understanding how the body works, and doing healthy things.

            I have a kick-ass immune system. Because I worked on it.

            Most people eat crap and poison themselves every day. I do the opposite.

            I also take detox supplements and take elderberry for lungs, and drink teas that boost immunity.

            People don’t do that and wonder why they are sick. And I work at a college so up until the lockdown I was always intermingling with tons of people on campus, esp. in the cafeteria. Nary a cold.

            I also never get vaccines.

            All my coworkers who do, get sick every single year.

            But that makes me tinfoil hat, for not ‘trusting the science.’

        • MaryQueen July 20, 2021 at 10:35 pm #

          No one was saved by the vaccine.

          There is zero evidence of this, and impossible to prove.

          • Mike Roberts July 20, 2021 at 10:49 pm #

            There is no “zero” evidence but whether you think the evidence supports the theory or not is up to you. The deaths in the UK certainly suggest that the likelihood of vaccinated people getting seriously ill from COVID-19 is way down, compared to vaccinated people. Same is true of other well vaccinated places.

            But, you’re right, it’s impossible to prove. Maybe the UK just got lucky for a period or are secretly treating the sick with drugs that actually work.

          • MaryQueen July 20, 2021 at 11:27 pm #

          • Mike Roberts July 21, 2021 at 12:11 am #

            MaryQueen, what data are you looking at? “More” than which countries? For example, the UK has been getting more than 30,000 cases for two weeks but its average daily death count is about 40. South Africa has a much lower vaccination rate (less than 3% fully vaccinated) but is getting an average of more than 300 daily deaths when their average daily cases was under 20,000 a couple of weeks ago (deaths lag cases by 2-3 weeks).

    • MaryQueen July 19, 2021 at 10:24 pm #

      Just a very small release of what was found in AZ audit has several states following the lead and has Biden freaked out!

      Earlier, several disturbing preliminary findings came out at the Arizona Senate hearings: 4,000 absentee ballots lacked documentation, thousands of ballots were duplicated without proper documentation, and most shockingly, over 11,000 voters were not on the November election voter rolls, but showed up later on the December voter rolls. As a reminder, Donald Trump lost Arizona to Joe Biden by 10,457 votes, or merely 0.3 percent of the state’s certified count.

      Or this gem….

      “For example, 74,243 mail-in ballots, where there is no clear record of them being sent,” Logan said. “And just to be clear, here in the state of Arizona there is EB32s and EB33s. EB32s is supposed to give a record of when a mail-in ballot is sent. And EB33 is supposed to give a record of when the mail-in ballot is received.”

      “So there should be an equal… there should be more EB32s, more sent out then there are received. Specifically, with these we can tie them to a specific individual it was mailed to,” he continued. “And so, we have 74,000 where we have, it came back from individuals where we don’t have a clear indication that it was ever sent out to them.”

      “But I think when you have 74,000, it merits knocking on a door and validating some of this information,” he added.

    Neurodoc

    Please read this, I think it is important.

    Lablog.uofmhealth.org
    Novel Autoantibody Adds Fuel to Covid19 “Firestorm” of Inflammation, Blood Clots – Michigan Health Lab – Michigan Medicine

    “Covid emulates many aspects of systemic autoimmune disorders, including the release of overactive immune cells that produce toxic webs of proteins and DNA called neutriphil extra cellular traps, or NETs.

    My add on

    If Covid does this, if it is the spike proteins that trigger the reaction, and if so could the spike proteins created by the vaccines be triggering the same thing in people susceptible to this. Could it be that whatever this autoimmune response is, it could be affecting people the same whether from the disease or the vaccine.

    • Redneck Liberal July 20, 2021 at 6:12 am #

      John AZ –

      Why are you bothering asking the “neurodoc” anything?

      He’s only ever been arrogantly dismissive of you and your medical opinions in the past (‘I don’t waste my time on nurses unless I’m trying them” if I recall correctly).

      He steams in here, gets a hard-on being a “my shit doesn’t stink” know-It-All, then leaves because he has better things to do than sit around gabbing with low IQs like the rest of us.

      One of his earliest posts (IIRC) invoked the nut job CT that ‘the vaccine’ (he didn’t specify which one) was a carrier for a Bill Gates tracking chip, ffs.

      Follow his handle’s link and let us know how his “neurodoc” business looks then. Snake Oil was respectable in comparison.

      • O.G. Hawkins July 20, 2021 at 6:20 am #

        RL,

        Maybe JAZ asks this of neurodoc on account of nurses understand that many (most?) doctors are assholes with a God complex and a cottage WAY nicer than your house because nurses also understand that these pricks are the most intelligent and informed people on the subject of medicines and vaccines and JAZ seeks The Truth as opposed to Sharks v Jets.

        You spend your time judging every person rather than simply considering what is being discussed.

        You are also an asshole, RL. Yes, low IQ asshole. TruStory

            ‘Melt-down…’

            Mr. Hawkins – I know exactly what JohnAZ was on about. I’ve watched “neurodoc” be nothing but a prime prick to JohnAZ since he first appeared. Someone called him out on the “Bill Gates tracking-chips in the vaccine” and “neurodoc” appealed to JHK to have the poster shut down/banned etc.

            JohnAZ has only ever engaged with us all from the perspective of a long-time medical professional. No doubt over his many years in service, he’s gotten to know exactly what types & levels of assholes Specialist doctors can be. However, I don’t have a clue about “neurodoc” aside from what he’s posted. He could be an idiot-savant janitor at John’s Hopkins for all I – or anyone round here – knows.

            The link behind his handle takes you to a weird place…it has a medical veneer to it, but a stridently commercial flavor too. The sort of outfit a link from which I wouldn’t be surprised to get from my mother or a nutty uncle. Try it…maybe he can prescribe something for your currently-rampant psychosis.

            Re JAZ, “one man’s opinions” and “pundits,”
            I would certainly give more weight to the information from Dr. Bhakdi, who has no dog in the “vaxx” money game,
            than to faceless CDC or WHO “experts” who continually change their message, do not offer any scientific explanations that the lay population can understand, and suppress those who are trying to help citizens understand the relevant science.

            Dr. Bhakdi is an eminent microbiologist with a very long and distinguished CV in microbiology and a long career as a professor and department head at the U of Mainz.

            In the video I linked up=thread he provides a very clear explanation of the workings of the immune system, presented as one would expect from a longtime teacher of these concepts.

            If someone disagrees with the actual information he presents, they should do it. It may be that the info is correct but his conclusions wrong—fine. Then discuss that.

            When such a genuine expert is simply “canceled,” it is a sign that “someone” does not want to engages in genuine science but just wants to quash certain views.

            Re “pundit,” that is a LOLOLOL.

    Tucker Carlson highlights: The Biden Administration is about to suspend Title 42, a CDC provision that limits immigration during a pandemic. This is expected to precipitate an even larger torrent of aliens into America from everywhere. You see it’s only a big deal if you have Covid, not if immigrants do or if they bring it into America. Or is it no big deal because they know it doesn’t really exist? Just like it was fine when Antifa and BLM mass rioted in the streets during the lockdown?

      You can choose to emoji or not emoji, but this…

      So, walking through the automatic doors of a grocery store I see the “greeter” (no, it’s not Walmart) very energetically greeting customers. The greeter, large and lumpy, I classified as male due only to the presence of a patchy scattering of reluctant facial hair. The ponytail, as well as the topiary from which it sprung, were blue. It (I didn’t check for genpref) made a point of approaching closely and greeting very loudly every individual to pass through the doors – in and out, the foot traffic at that time allowing basically a running monologue.

      A quick survey of expressions as I escaped into the fruit section (that’s right, escaped into the fruit section) made me think I wasn’t the only one who thought “that was a little strange”. If running that gauntlet becomes a regular event, Talenti Mango Sorbet and Black Diamond Cheddar Cheese may disappear from my fridge. I knew they’d go eventually, but not like this.

      Yes! The borderlands everywhere and in every way now are like by default warzones. Tbh though, the southern border has been such a fiction for so long that we have to be careful now not to fall into the trap of believing it is a reality. Of course we want it to be a reality and we demand it be so! But it has been so lawless for so long that I don’t think anything the CDC does or doesn’t do will impact that flood. No telling what vicious diseases are being imported. And we’ll never know till its too late probably. And yes. Their narrative is that essentially there is no such thing as woman. But don’t get comfortable since man is also unnecessary. A cosmopolitan multiational androgynous human being? is their ideal.

    A very interesting take imo to describe the core of their power and power making, the sculptured psyche, in terms of anachronisms. Fittingly, the airwaves too no less. And sure their blustering bravado is indeed already passe’ on this here floating rock. But it doesn’t make the plunge any sweeter. And that animal ain’t gone die gracefully.

    I am hoping against hope? that the fraud and thievery will be overturned. But then I start to think that probably Jupiter gobbled up that John Durham asteroid before it could make its way to primetime. Bringing me closer to the conclusion that yes, all of these things going on in far flung places are of little import truth be known. In the end, on the ground, laws and rules are only as good or bad as those who enforce them..or don’t..clearly. And that cuts both ways. Actually it cuts every which way. Eventually these authoritarian dictatorships crumble into failed states. And these bizarre people don’t appear to even be able to enjoy their party before it’s over. It’s actually a human tragedy on such a multitude of levels endless volumes couldn’t capture it all. So I’ll stop there lol 🙂

        It is so funny you mention this because a similar video popped up on youtube the other day and I watched it and it was super interesting. I don’t remember the actual event but am so glad there are records of it. Can you imagine that! The explosions generated 50,000 degree heat!! One of the dark plumes left after the explosion looks like a dancing angel. Check it out at 2:05 in the vid. Basically my understanding is the Jupiter is almost a failed Sun. It is that big and gargantuan! And so it basically is the solar systems’ vacuum cleaner and actually plays a big role in keeping Earth safe from wandering comets and asteroids.

            These people don’t see the beauty of nature. They’re too close. They are nature.

            As T.S Elliot said of our homelands, we will spiral back to the primitive but it will be different because we are different. Thus we will see as if for the first time.

          • sevensec July 20, 2021 at 6:13 pm #

            Yo—

            One cannot admire nature if one is too close to it, too one with it. Interesting observation.

            …And yet now we increasingly feel this tremendous gravitation of the natural—this need to surrender to the natural, to become its slave—as the final act of our very charge towards “progress”.

            Does not this material world seem daily to grow heavier and more imposing, also more seductive?

            We make ready to seize and merge with the heavens, and perhaps even *brand* them for “Amazon”, “Virgin” or “SpaceX”; we prepare to blast off into a Gnostic Heaven of self-designed identity-classes (also with its own own set of brands). We have never grabbed more madly for the non-material and the anti-natural. Yet Matter, in reply, simply grabs back, stronger and stronger.

            Remember “the Abolition of Man”? “Man’s conquest of Nature turns out, in the moment of its consummation, to be Nature’s conquest of Man.”

            We are here. Desperate apologists for stupidity, barbarity and leveling, like your esteemed interlocutor, are now a penny a dozen. Many, not incorrectly, feel in their bones that something very bad awaits us but a little ways down the Technological Path. But they somehow do not see that *this path*, too, is one of leveling.

            This is the paradox: those who lean into endless technology or “progress” end up slaves of Nature just as much as these flyweight Romantics who, entranced by some cartoon image of the savage, hope to make “the Natural” an antidote for “progress”.

            What is needed, maybe, is a completely new kind of technology—technology that isn’t technology. Something that stands between these two extremes, which each lead to implosion back into Nature. Your “High Middle”, perhaps…? Who knows?

          • Yohannon July 21, 2021 at 12:49 am #

            We conquered outer nature but not our inner nature. Or to put it another way, we didn’t keep pace with our technology. We’re like little kids playing with loaded revolvers.

        • gustafson.robert.22 July 20, 2021 at 1:15 pm #

          I’m not sure i agree that they dont see it categorically, but i do kind of like. But in so far as they do not appreciate or never appreciated what they possessed in the primitive cultural state…it does not mean they are incapable of that appreciation.

          I dont buy any of this “IQ” garbage. IQ is a petty construct

          • O.G. Hawkins July 20, 2021 at 7:55 pm #

            It is not a coincidence that High-IQ people run banks while Low-IQ people do not.

            IQ matters.

            Morons think that their little piddly thoughts are every bit as valid as the ponderances of the brilliant. They are, of course, Wrong (as per usual).

    Before every NFL game this season the Black National Anthem will be played. I can see players standing proudly for the Black Natiobal Anthem, then dropping to one knee when the Star Spengled Banner is played.

    As for you proles, when the Black National Anthem comes on, you’d better stand, hat removed, hand over your heart; if in uniform a salute is required.

    Even if you’re watching the game in your own house you need to do this. You’re kids will be taking note, and making a report Monday morning at school, in their CRT session.

Murder, mayhem, child abuse, you name it, I picked up a coupla’ heads. they’re heavy. No brag, just fact. Bite me . God is a vengeful prick.

    I never said that I have spoken with Satan.

    That is the most disgusting strawman hurled at me in all of the countless strawmen built against me here on CFN.

    I physically witnessed Satan whether you did or not.

    God reveals His Power to me each and every day.

    You can witness God’s Power too. I’m not special. At least no more special than are you.

    It is not for you to judge God, you dope. God judges you.

    Luke Prokop Comes Out As Gay And Makes NHL History

    High-level female hockey players, such as Olympic gold medalist Meghan Duggan, have previously come out as gay, according to the league. But until Prokop’s announcement Monday, no other player signed to an NHL team — active or retired — had come out in the history of the professional league.

    Prokop’s team and league officials congratulated him on social media, saying the defenseman was setting an example for others.

    “The Nashville Predators organization is proud of Luke for the courage he is displaying in coming out today and we will support him unequivocally in the days, weeks, and years to come as he continues to develop as a prospect,” the team tweeted.

    https://www.npr.org/2021/07/19/1017915128/luke-prokop-becomes-the-first-nhl-player-under-contract-to-come-out-as-gay

    https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=211141

    ———-

    Wow! Have times ever changed.

    Prokup is a 3rd Round draft pick (#73 over-all in last year’s goofy Covid NHL Amateur Draft) playing Major Junior. Most 3rd Rounders never play a single game in the NHL.

    NHL fans in Boston have been known to throw a banana at a black opponent. I wonder if the Beantowners will yell anything if Luke ever plays against their beloved Bruins at TD Gardens and, if so, what.

            Maybe you do not understand “anecdotal” or maybe you are completely full of shit.

            Before the jabs, my gf (who is a successful hairdresser for 30+ years with many loyal clients) never had any anecdotal deaths.

            In the past few weeks however, 4 mean dropped dead. 3 in their 50s and the other was 35. Plus a 93 year-old woman who hadn’t menstrated since the 1960s was rushed to hospital with vaginal bleeding.

            Pretty well all the jabbed women at the salon have reported bizarre vaginal bleeding.

            Of course this is anecdotal. I have labeled it as such. It is anecdotal but worth considering as we look for trends.

            I get in enough hot water on my own, RL. Stop putting words in my mouth, please & thank you.

          • Mike Roberts July 20, 2021 at 8:12 pm #

            So what is the purpose of putting out anecdotes? Surely, the only explanation is that you want us to infer that bad things often happen after the jab. One might even “drop dead.” Such stuff adds nothing to the discussion except to cement the views of those who have no desire to seek the truth.

      Similar situation here. I had a new garage door installed; crew showed up, a younger guy and an older guy. Older guy was miserable, started out shouting that the company’s sales engineer who measured and priced the job was an ignorant f#kkng xxshole, it all had to be done over. Ok. The younger guy was cool, he was interested in my old motorcycle and a vintage car my nephew stores here. Anyway, they got it installed, took about 4 hours. That night I noticed the door wasn’t working properly, needed adjustment at the least. I called the company, stating the problem, requesting the younger guy come out, not the old guy, who I didn’t want to see again. They told me they couldn’t honor my request. Why not? Well, he died last night. I never found out what from.

        My lawn guy is 10 years younger than me. Since he got the jab, he looks 10 years older than me. Or more.

        He looks like shit.

        He got every single bad symptom for BOTH shots, including 3-4 days of horrid suffering. Hallucinating, his thighs turned purple and blew up, high fevers and vomiting, thought he was going to die, and he walked into a wall and cracked it.

        Now his skin looks grey, even though he’s out in the sun all day every day, and his personality has changed from normal to gloomy.

    Anger as French protesters compare vaccines to Nazi horrors
    By ANGELA CHARLTON and CONSTANTIN GOUVY
    July 19, 2021 GMT

    PARIS (AP) — A French Holocaust survivor has denounced anti-vaccination protesters comparing themselves to Jews who were persecuted by Nazi Germany during World War II. French officials and anti-racism groups joined the 94-year-old in expressing indignation.

    As more than 100,000 people marched around France against government vaccine rules on Saturday, some demonstrators wore yellow stars recalling the ones the Nazis forced Jews to wear. Other demonstrators carried signs evoking the Auschwitz death camp or South Africa’s apartheid regime, claiming the French government was unfairly mistreating them with its anti-pandemic measures.

    “You can’t imagine how much that upset me. This comparison is hateful. We must all rise up against this ignominy,” Holocaust survivor Joseph Szwarc said Sunday during a ceremony commemorating victims of antisemitic and racist acts by the French state, which collaborated with Adolf Hitler’s regime.

    https://apnews.com/article/europe-health-government-and-politics-coronavirus-pandemic-race-and-ethnicity-e3757c1c51abd7ce56473c455f6f880d

    There ya go Beantown Shill. Right down the pipe.

    Do people being persecuted today have the Right to compare themselves to the Jews being persecuted in Nazi Germany? Or do Jews have a monopoly on suffering and genocide as well as most other industries?

    I addressed Neurodoc because he and I have had a nice discussion about both sides of the Covid situation. Yeah, once he was a little condescending but if I got pissed at every condescending post on this blog, I would have quit long ago.

    I also know that if I address him, everyone else gets a crack at it. I believed this information the U of M issued might explain a lot of what we a seeing out there, especially with the adverse effects of the vaccine. I also believe that mRNA research is important for the future so that anything learned about understanding good and bad effects of it is a good thing.

    Something that should have been explored long ago is potentially discovered in this study, the possibility that folks that are really affected by the disease will be really affected by the vaccine. From a risk standpoint, very important.

            That’s interesting Ben.

            The right soil, enough sunlight, with some irrigation and hard work, and luck, it’s possible then. It’s like wine making in Ct. The grapes here aren’t the best and the growing season is only 150 days, but growers out in the eastern part of the State are making some pretty decent wine, all things considered.

    “America is on a bad trip. The country has lost its way psychologically. Two things will be required to bring it out of the fugue state it tripped into five years ago: some significant shocks to the system and the passage of time. “

    This sums up well the state of things.

    When the dominating (blue) branch of the uniparty is now celebrating a sort of d’iversity’ which includes pedophilia; when men in dresses are dominating women’s sports, flashing little girls in women’s changing rooms and Drag Queens are rolling around the floor with toddlers in libraries; when it’s verboten to criticize a black person for any reason lest you be labeled a white supremacist nazi literal Hitler; when “Wet Ass Pussy” is considered high art and worthy of an award per the snooty brits at NPR; when it’s fashionable and enviable to chop ones’ self up to the point of grotesquery to gain ‘acceptance’ as a perma-victim winner in the Oppression Olympics all in the name of ‘gender’; when one has to pretend that the POTATUS is not a slurring, drooling, senile puppet; when one has to listen to his press secretary openly advocate for censorship which tramples on the First Amendment; when the press tells the public the exact opposite of what’s actually occurring (esp. with regard to Covid19) and spreads fear all day long; when Twitter holds “two minutes hate” sessions every day on some unlucky person who violated the Rules of the Wokies, yeah, I’d say we’ve hit the nadir of surreal.

    And I suspect it will get much worse still.

      Yes, we are on a spinning rock in the middle of a vast abyss. Eventually the rock will truly be a rock without water and life. Or so they say. But just to add a little. It is winter right now in the Southern Hemisphere. That means a dry season for much of the Cerrado which the map is showing. The Cerrado is grassland and savanna so fires are part of the natural cycle of that ecosystem. That being said, obviously humans are destroying vast areas of ecosystems. But ecosystems can destroy themselves as well. Life and death are a continuum.

          Yes, you are correct. Lots of the forests have been converted to grasslands because of agriculture. And the Cerrado itself is also being wiped out because of agriculture. Will that eventually decrease the oxygen in the atmosphere?

      New Zealand Olympic weight lifter Laurel Hubbard was born a male, but has reputedly “transitioned”. Some kill-joys still scream foul because she/he developed muscles as a man and is now using those very same muscles as a woman. That has to be some kind of fraud?! Bait and switch, maybe?

    North Carolina Door-to-Door Vaccine Outreach Violating ‘Zone of Privacy,’ Advocacy Group Says

    “Though North Carolina’s “door-to-door” vaccine outreach program has been called “not confrontational,” a health advocacy group said it veers into violating a “zone of privacy.”

    The zone of privacy is civil liberty constitutionally protected in the Bill of Rights first recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) when it determined that the government can’t restrict the sale and use of contraceptives, invalidating an 1879 law that the court ruled was a violation of “marital privacy.”

    The court’s ruling later became a precedent in the 1973 case of Roe V. Wade, which decided that the government can’t excessively restrict a woman’s right to have an abortion.

    Leslie Manookian, president and founder of the Health Freedom Defense Fund Inc, (HFDF), a nonprofit headquartered in Sandpoint, Idaho, told The Epoch Times that the established zone of privacy is being challenged by the door-to-door campaign.

    “We don’t walk up to people and ask them, are you on anti-depressants? Do you have erectile dysfunction? We don’t ask people personal things like this for a reason, because it’s unethical, and because of this zone of privacy,” Manookian said. “We understand that it’s not our business to meddle in other people’s businesses, and it’s not the government’s business, either.””

    It would appear – using common sense – that vaccines are making people sick. It’s not giving them ‘covid19’ it’s injuring and killing them. They can’t put the genie back into the bottle, so they make up ‘variants’ and ‘breakthrough cases’ all of which is utter bullshit. But even if you believe in variants and breakthrough ‘cases’ the end result is the same. The illnesses, deaths and hospitalizations have increased since the jabs rolled out.

    I don’t think the PTB planned on it being this deadly. But who knows.

    • cowbell81 July 20, 2021 at 1:59 pm #

      If Hollywood can spend millions of dollars on a feature production with amazing real life looking special effects, then the Deep State can certainly find a way to fabricate “hospital workers” that appear to be haggard with COVID overwork. All you need are some good actors and a decent make-up artist. I wouldn’t put anything past the fake news Media at this point.

      • Yohannon July 21, 2021 at 12:55 am #

        Lots of women are drama queens. And lots of nurses are tired and over worked. Find tired drama queens working in covid units and you’ll get the water works. Nurses who don’t act like that don’t get aired. And you also don’t talk to nurses in empty hospitals if all that starts up again.

        No need for crisis actors on this one, just selective reporting which then reinforces the narrative. Soon you’ll get nurse heroes staring down anti-lockdown protestors like before. Remember that?

        • MaryQueen July 20, 2021 at 8:28 pm #

    I want a protected, closed border

    I recognize, love, and defend the monumental achievements of white, Western civilization.

    I supported mask wearing, particularly at peak Covid

    I have already said that I don’t support forced vaccinations and that I respect people’s concern regarding the vaccine’s dangers.

      I am actually very intelligent and I do tolerate you, TS.

      I tolerate you but also recognize that you are a total goofball and, yes, taking their rat poison into your body is the ultimate litmus-test of sheepledom. D’uh!

      You Believed that a Saudi elite “ex-” CIA pulverized 3 Manhattan skyscrapers with 2 airplanes 1 Tuesday by conspiring with NORAD from a remote Afghan cave! Not exactly Columbo.

      Then you took their kool-aid and became a dirty needle junkie.

      How sheeple can a guy get?

      Wouldn’t you? Get a fresh jab, I mean. Sometimes it’s all I think about. Nice, fresh booster-jab. Right?

      ‘Just a little pin prick.’ Jab me Good! Jab me fine! Jab me often! Jab me all of the time!

      Oh … Sorry … I was Just thinking that, for safety sake and on account of the Covids and all, that all us double jabbers Really deserve a little booster-jabshot. We’ve been Good and followed all the rules so why won’t they booster-jab us already?”

        • O.G. Hawkins July 20, 2021 at 7:17 pm #

          Whatever do you mean, RL? I feel neither conflicted nor confused as I witness God’s Word fulfilled.

          Perhaps your filthy needle addiction is causing irrational anger in your toxic-dump little sheeple brain.

          • Redneck Liberal July 20, 2021 at 8:41 pm #

            Mr. Hawkins

            I’m not surprised that you don’t feel the conflict & confusion, but you generate them like a lighthouse to anyone watching. It’s actually very sad, but that is clearly part of your illness.

            And this new obsession with “filthy needle addiction” – you’re not winning friends or influencing people, you know…

          • MaryQueen July 20, 2021 at 9:36 pm #

            I don’t find OG’s posts provacative. I find them entertaining.

            Until someone attacks him, he just posts what he’s thinking. But you and tucsonspur and a few others like to attack him because you don’t like his ‘style’, and when he retaliates, you turn into little squealing wussies instead of acting like men.

            It’s disgusting.

            This is directed at RL who has no purpose up here except to troll and insult people.

          • Redneck Liberal July 20, 2021 at 9:46 pm #

            You might find HOG’s posts less entertaining if he was casting his nasty aspersions at you for a change.

            However, he won’t do that because you’re his Board Mommy…cosying up to him at every opportunity and he to you. That’s the way your Tinfoil Trio operates.

            I see both TS and RL have hit rock bottom.

            They can’t contribute anything worth anything to the conversation, and they can’t shut anyone up, so they are attacking two people whose posts they don’t like. They must be proud of themselves.

            Congrats boys, you have derailed the discussions and shit all over the board. Did Take-a-Poo give you your orders? I’m guessing you must work for him, doing his bidding and all.

      TS, you bought into their phoney bologna Frick v Frack.

      You thought, “Trump Good, Dems Bad.”

      You thought that you were too cool for school.

      You never saw that both Republicans and Democrats are mostly all sheeple.

      You played their reindeer games while they penned ya.

      Now you are poisoned. Now you realize that you were every bit as much a sheeple on their constructed “Right” as those tatted loonies on their constructed “Left.”

      You wanted “normal” so Bad that you stupidly lost your soul by not paying attention.

      Sucks to be you, I’m afraid. You had Best get Right with God as you will likely drop dead soon.

      “This is what the Democrats do”? Because you got the vaccine? I think it is far more likely that Republicans would label you a sheeple for getting the vaccine. I wouldn’t.

      Seems like I disagree with many of your positions but that’s OK. Maybe I didn’t misread you, further up the comments. I’m not sure. All elections probably have fraud but, at least in developed nations, probably not widespread enough to affect the outcome.

          • Redneck Liberal July 21, 2021 at 7:17 am #

            No, Mike Roberts. TS is defending his reasoned decision to be vaccinated against the rabid attacks he suffers from purported ‘conservatives’ – HOG boy & MaryQadjacent – by comparing their insane “cancel culture” to the same intolerance that the fruit-loop Left cohorts apply to anyone who doesn’t sign up to the WHOLE agenda, as they see it.

            The Loopy Left and the Tinfoil Right are the extremes today, but they get far too much oxygen.

            Mr Hawkins is well off the rails, and MaryQ is close behind, but remains cunning enough to ^appear^ to be “fair-minded” until you’ve rad enough of her lunatic, arrogant and disdainful ‘troof’ statements.

          • O.G. Hawkins July 21, 2021 at 7:13 pm #

            I never claimed to be “conservative” and I rarely (if ever) voice my opinion on “cancel culture.”

    Scratching my head.

    Why are there geographic boundaries for the virus intensity? Geographic or ethnic (genetic)?

    Are we seeing the effect of the delta mutation on people vaxxed and unvaxxed? I checked out the JH statistics and surges are occurring where the report says. Interesting though, deaths are unchanged, even though some of the surges are six weeks old.

    Surges are occurring where vaxx rate is high, but in some areas where it is low. I think there is some correlation.

    If correlation exists, that might mean that the vaccine may be creating variants. How could that happen. All the pro vaxx literature states that is is impossible.

    However, just a stab (pun intended). What if in the spike protein Genesis mistakes are made in synthesis so that many varieties of proteins are made. Those proteins last 4-6 weeks per the literature. I may be BSing here, but what if those vaxx generated s proteins figured out a way to hook up with the ubiquitous Covid viruses. Could we be generating a soup of Covid that one or two are better adapted and become the next variant? Or more scary, what if many variants are being created by the process and we are identifying only a few.

    More vaccinations, more chances of mutation, more chances of new variants.

    This is purely a straw man. It is a scary one because it means we are chasing our tails. Is this a designed virus?

      As I understand it, and according to Yeadon and co. the gene therapies create synthesized spike proteins, which make their way through your body and damage blood vessels and organs. There was no evidence that a deadly virus existed before the gene therapies. ICU bed takeup rates were normal, and the common flu disappeared from the statistics.

      I have seen no credible evidence of any variants, or any evidence that the so-called virus is natural.

      Good luck to the gene-therapied.

      “If correlation exists, that might mean that the vaccine may be creating variants. How could that happen. All the pro vaxx literature states that is is impossible.”

    India’s excess deaths during the coronavirus pandemic could be a staggering 10 times the official COVID-19 toll, likely making it modern India’s worst human tragedy, according to the most comprehensive research yet on the ravages of the virus in the South Asian country.

    Most experts believe India’s official toll of more than 414,000 dead is a vast undercount, but the government has dismissed those concerns as exaggerated and misleading.

    The report released Tuesday estimated excess deaths — the gap between those recorded and those that would have been expected — to be 3.4 million to 4.7 million since the pandemic began through last month. It said an accurate figure may “prove elusive,” but the true death toll “is likely to be an order of magnitude greater than the official count.”

    So Covid is nothing to worry about eh?

      Aren’t some of you fearmongering about so-called covid19 not even interested in the fact it was basically flatlined in December until the vaccinations began?

      Aren’t you interested at all that immunologists have said the most stupid thing to do is vaccinate in the middle of a pandemic? Not that it is a pandemic, since the numbers have flatlined a few times now, only to be revived by false-postive so-called ‘cases’ and now ‘variants’.

      Vaccine injuries are up to 50K by some estimates, and yet the carnage continues.

  107. beantownbill. July 20, 2021 at 11:19 pm #

    This site has turned nasty. We’ve always had basic differences. We’ve always had our arguments, we’ve always knocked heads. But now it’s turned mean – on both sides. Why is that? I believe some posters are inherently nasty. You all can figure out who. Downer people always, always drag others down to their level. When nice people are active, they don’t uplift the nasty ones. Social gravity pulls the good ones down like water seeking its own level. I wish it was the other way around, but mostly it’s not.

    I’ve been here since 2008 or so; I’ve read many of the present day posters. As an example of the above, I’ve seen Tuscon Spur finally get dragged down; I can’t blame him. He’s been maligned so much he’s finally fighting back – unfortunately in like kind. He’s actually a fine writer; I’ve enjoyed a lot of his posts. But this is what happens when not nice persons get a foothold – they turn people into unpleasant versions of themselves.

    I’m scientifically inclined as many readers know, but I do have my eccentricities, too. I can feel some other people’s energy. I can visually picture it. When I read the nasty posters, I can see black, oily clouds pouring out of them. As I said before, we know who you are. There’s now a miasma of bad vibes here now.

    BTW, I’m not commenting very much on the virus/vaccine issue. I’m staying out of the arguments because I’ll probably never be able to learn what’s going on behind the scenes. I don’t have telepathy and I don’t believe in remote viewing. At some point the situation will become clear, but until then, I just don’t know, so I’ll stay out of it.

    Just to be clear, I’ll say I like MaryQueen. I think she’s a little too strident, but I can live with that.

    • Ricechex July 20, 2021 at 11:50 pm #

      Beating up on TucsonSpur, Beantownbill, and sometimes JohnAZ is not right. I know many a Trump voter that took the vax. They are older and they believe it was in their best interest. To put them down and insult them is harming the very people we need to fight totalitarianism. Insulting and derogatory comments are simply no different than the deep state propaganda system. It is judgmental and holier than thou which is always a turn off.

      • MaryQueen July 21, 2021 at 12:21 am #

        Ricechex, why would vaccinated people care what anyone says if they were happy to get it? I and others have been sharing information we’ve found. They can use the information to find out what they can do to mitigate any damage caused by the vaccines or not.

        If you were given poison and didn’t know it would you rather someone alert you to it and give you information as how to battle it and recover, or would you rather just let it run it’s course and see if you die?

        • Redneck Liberal July 21, 2021 at 6:44 am #

          What on earth can a vaccinated person do to change the outcome? What do you offer – if you happened to be right(which you are not)?

          I really like your posts and they are informative. I am hoping to never have to take the vaccine. I think it is poison.

          However, some posters are really derogatory and insulting to those that take the jabs. I just don’t think that is necessary.

          For the record, look at this drama and propaganda. Unbelievable. It is so fake!

            In case anyone is interested, I received my first Sinovac shot about 30 hours ago. The only reaction I’ve felt is persistent grogginess – so I’ve had a day of lovely sleep, on and off. No other effects yet.

            Getting the vaccine was a requirement for the renewal of my Indonesian visa; I chose Sinovac because it is a “vaccine”, and thus hopefully immune to the varied weirdnesses and potential medical catastrophes apparent with Pfizer, AstraZeneca and J&J, and elucidated in great detail on the web (and of course in these comments).

            I was looking at having to return to the USA had my visa application been turned down; I discovered that Mexico is administering Sinovac (as well as the gene-gambling variety) so if anyone wanted to cross the border they could probably get a shot, and then claim proudly that they were part of the loyal band (of potential victims, we do suspect), with a safer vaccine.

            I will go in for my second shot in 30 days, and do not expect to suffer any effects. Those reading the international media may recall that there is a huge number of infected here in Indonesia, hospitals are overwhelmed and the authorities are struggling, but seem to be perpetually behind the curve.

            My take on that is that the Javanese are basically a rather weakened tribe (through thousands of years of inbreeding), there is a high rate of obesity and diabetes has skyrocketed, and most people tend to kind of fall apart physically after 35 ~ 40. Now they are starting to exercise and pay more attention to their condition but the average diet is still wretched. Tasty though.

            Sumatrans, Ambonese and Kalimantan folk just seem to be of sturdier stock than the Javanese, from my observation (here since 1988).

        BeantownBill,
        “This site has turned nasty. . . .

        I’ve been here since 2008 or so; ”

        I have not been here very long. I have always been interested in JHK’s posts but have not followed on a regular basis.

        I am a political cross-over or perhaps hybrid, similar to JHK, and so I have started to follow this blog more regularly.

        I am surprised at a couple of things here:
        People waste a lot of time in personal frat-boy-level wisecracking- type comments that aren’t very funny and don’t add any info.

        People seem to be obsessive about certain commenters whom they view as trolls but to others also seem troll-like. Why don’t commenters drop mention of some “official” troll? It seems like they keep mentioning the “official” troll in order to troll others.

        Many people here opine that certain groups have no ability to achieve intellectually. Others have the discount, put down, and diss to experts who are high achievers in their fields.

    • Mike Roberts July 21, 2021 at 12:04 am #

      Yes, I don’t know what commenters hope to achieve by the constant insults and belittling. Maybe JHK’s use of belittling phrases doesn’t help (e.g. ‘And is “Joe Biden” not the perfect gibbering epitome of this mess, a ghost in the narrative machine, beckoning us into chaos?’). I would like to think that the avoidance of such phrasing would help raise the level of the discussion. Sadly, I think the language often entrenches positions (in order not to look weak in the face of overwhelming arguments). I’ve seen this over and over on similar web sites that seem to attract people who aren’t seeking answers and don’t want to have reasoned discussions about topics.

      • MaryQueen July 21, 2021 at 12:21 am #

        If you don’t like JHK’s style what are you even doing here?

          I’ve been reading JHK’s books and thoughts for many years. Just like anyone else, I can comment on some of his thoughts. When he’s not fixated on a narrow issue for months, he’s quite insightful. I pop in from time to time, so there will be long periods when you won’t see me here (for which I’m sure you’ll be grateful).

      Well thank you, BTB, for liking me. I like you too, despite our disagreements.

      I do think things are getting nastier than when I started visiting up here a few months ago.

      Simple explanation or observation – not only are we (as a civilization) on the tank, but we have just undergone 1.6 years of being gaslighted and booted around by tyrannical assholes in charge. People are pissed off, and understandably so. We tend then to lash out at each other. I’m as guilty as the next guy, although I tend not to do so unless someone makes the first move.

      We can see the craziness of society in general reflected here a bit. I think that’s OK. There are ebbs and flows. It will work itself out.

            Initially, any so-called “attacks” were entirely at the outrageous, unsubstantiated claims you were making. Your tinfoil was shining on the horizon from the moment you appeared.

            When called out, you immediately pivoted to ad hominems by way of ‘defense’ and now you’re surprised that those who can see through your ridiculous, nutjob ‘certainty’ about what you see to be the “troof”, choose to hit back in the same vein.

            GA called you out from your very first lie and your response to that was nasty & vindictive. As a result, you lost any credibility and she found she had to remind you (because you refused to acknowledge your ‘snotty handkerchieves’) from time to time. You’re such a fecking troll.

      Shill, Just so you know, I am here to determine The Truth. I am not here to make friends.

      As Mary said earlier, I share links, facts and analysis on CFN. Mister Bimmler called a recent post “a rollickng good read” on the entertainment front. All Good until somebody like you or RL or TS snipe me. Then there’ll be trouble.

      For 20 years you Believed that 3 skyscrapers were pulverized by 2 airplanes 1 Tuesday so of course you also Believed that Bill Gates loves you!

      You had no clue how you were sealing your fate sheepling through life in a jab line.

      Now you are poisoned, Shill. We all know that. Now the government that you somehow both bitch about but yet also Trusted is killing you and you still want to talk about it all like it’s some hypothetical nebulous thing beyond the horizon of the future.

      You are poisoned now. We all know that.

But the simplest and clearest two facts are these: That a) Over nine thousand people have died from the vaccine in the United States and b) previous vaccines were taken off the market after 25-50 reported deaths.

    • tully July 21, 2021 at 7:01 am #

      Beantown Bill, thank you for expressing my thoughts better than I could.

      Been reading the recent comments with my morning coffee, and appalled at the nastiness. Like you, I have been reading the blog and comments a long time, though I just recently started chiming in.
      This is the nastiest I have seen board comments in all these years. 🙁

      I am living in the hot spot for a nasty bug the CDC calls the Delta variant. Whatever this illness and its covid predecessor are, I’ve been following local health department stats since the beginning.

      Total daily cases don’t concern me much. Hospitalizations and the number in ICU do. They are climbing daily, 235 yesterday, 103 in ICU. That number will be higher today, and tomorrow. We are not expected to peak until mid to late Aug.

      97% of hospitalizations are unvaxxed. All deaths since the shots were rolled out in Dec are unvaxxed. Four people who did get the shots have then tested positive and been sick enough to be hospitalized. They did not require ICU. There have been other break through infections, but they resulted in mild head cold symptoms.

      This describes the reality I am living in. What has happened here ran counter to what I believed about this crap. I could not deny what I was seeing locally.

      The reality was this new variant spreads faster, and is running a 3-3.5% hospitalization rate. I compared a. 3% chance of hospitalization to serious adverse reactions in the over 50 demographic for the J&J, the latter being around 1 per million blood clot incidents verified. The numbers indicated getting the shot was the better option.

      I got the J&J two weeks ago today. I also continue to take the quercetin/zinc/C/D I’ve taken since late last spring, and the ivermectin I started a couple months ago. Another layer of protection against this shit seemed reasonable.

      So, this undoubtedly will make me persona non grata here, and a filthy needle junky. Such is life. I wish everyone all the best.

        Could you provide sources or links to support the figures you are quoting? Your depiction of the ‘Delta’ variant does not match what is being experienced in the UK. You’re not a persona non grata, but with respect we’ve heard all these scary stats before and they just don’t pan out against official statistics nor my personal observations.

          Slugoon, or anyone else wanting the local stats, here is a link to the Springfield-Greene Co Health Dept covid dashboard. They update Mon-Fri around mid-day. Six pages with various breakdowns of the local info.

            I’ve had a good browse but cannot see anything that shows hospitalisations or deaths broken down by vaccination status.

            Have you explored this website yourself?

            I can see that there have been 447 deaths in Springfield, of which 446 of them (99.78%) have occurred in people aged 50 and over with not a single person between the ages of 30-49 or 0-19 listed as dying. There is just one death attributed to the 20-29 category and it doesn’t say whether there were underlying co-morbidities in that single case.

            I can see that the case rate has increased in lockstep with the vaccination rate.

            I can see that there are 259 patients hospitalised with Covid out of a population of 159,498 (0.16% – wow) but it doesn’t give any breakdown of age or vaccination status.

            I don’t really know what else to say other than I remain utterly perplexed by society’s reaction to all this.

          • tully July 21, 2021 at 10:39 am #

            Slugoon, the info on deaths broken down by vaxxed/unvaxxed is not on the dashboard. That info came from Steve Edwards’ at Cox Health, where he is passing along info from their system. I only lurk at Twitter, and don’t know how to post links to it. But he is @SDECoxHealth.

            There is a second system, Mercy, I have not been following as closely.

            This link is to page 5 of the Health Dept dashboard which breaks down deaths by age, by month.

            https://health.springfieldmo.gov/5068/Coronavirus/coronavirus

            Looking at average age trends for cases, it is trending downwards. The over 70 crowd does have a high vax rate, think 75%+.

            The health department has stopped the daily updates on deaths. The last update was via news release July 6:
            https://www.springfieldmo.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=8426

            Yes, I have explored the website. Many times since last spring.

          • Slugoon July 21, 2021 at 11:34 am #

            So the data is not on their official website of Covid stats? Okay. Well I’ve got nothing to go on then. The dashboard is telling me the same old story. Over 50s with underlying conditions may, if they are unlucky, get affected by it. Everybody else, no.

            What you are effectively saying, without any real evidence other than hearsay, in fact contrary to the evidence on that website, is that young people have managed to go through sixteen months of a so-called pandemic with just one death out of four-hundred and forty-seven, in itself a miniscule figure, but are now suddenly at grave risk from Delta?

            Are cases increasing in spite of vaccines or because of them? Are these variants being created in spite of vaccines or because of them? Perhaps Steve Edwards could comment on that.

            And who cares about cases? If I make a test sensitive enough to pick up the common cold, should I then go around saying young people are all testing positive for a cold and lock the economy down, inject them with half-tested substances because they might have a sniffle? That is your reasoning for compulsory vaccination of kids?

            The health department stopped the death updates? How convenient. Is that because there is nothing to report? Are they collecting and publishing data on adverse vaccine reactions or being honest about the ZERO risk to children that they are so keen to inject?

            And you support all this? My goodness.

          • tully July 21, 2021 at 5:21 pm #

            259 is a hospitalization spike in a county where the highest daily covid hospital census was 237. Yes, this is a spike in this county with a population just north of 275,000. As of today, a third of patients at Cox Hospital are in covid wards. .

            No, I have never lived through a huge vaccination campaign. Last big one in the US was polio, I think? I wasn’t born yet.

            Have you lived through such a vaccine effort prior to this one? If so, how is it different/or similar to the current efforts?

            Please remember I am not advocating anyone get these shots without doing their due diligence, and making a decision based on their own situation.

            I am sharing what is happening here, as it differs from what is happening elsewhere at this point. People can do with it what they will.

            Slugoon, the references to kids’ hospitalizations have been in Twitter feeds for Steve Edwards at Cox; the health department, and info from an ICU employee via my co-worker.

            I never said the death rate is high for people under 40. Based on Cox info, they are getting more hospitalizations of younger people under 40 including two infants, both recovered. That is showing in a dropping of the average age per month at the dashboard. The dashboard has never reported age breakdowns on hospitalizations since this began.

            I have not advocated compulsory vaccination for kids, or anyone else.

            I have stated I pay little attention to total cases; never have. What I watch is hospitalizations. They have been running 3-3.50% this summer; today they are 3.14%. At the peak last winter, they never ran higher than 2.5%.

            Death totals have been updated today; now at 12 for July, up from the 4 reported earlier. There are now two under 20, so one of those is from this month; it was 1 yesterday. Yes, for the under 50 crowd, death toll is still low. I expect this given the majority of deaths up until June were elderly, many in nursing homes. Total numbers will skew heavy toward older people a long time given the stats from April 2020-May 2021.

            I support skepticism; but I also support revising my take on things when faced with local info that indicated the new variant, at least here, is more contagious, and making people sicker. As someone in their early sixties. I finally opted to get the J&J. Had I been in my 30s, I would not have gotten any shots. J&J is still not recommended for women 18-49, and I would not take the Pfizer/Moderna.

            This whole business is still wonky and suspicious as hell. But I base my actions on what is happening here. A person in an area not seeing increased hospitalizations, especially in the summer when ICU have never been full of people with “flu like” symptoms, on oxygen due to low blood oygenation levels, would undoubtedly make different choices. And they should.

            I do think people should act based on what is happening where they live. But I would suggest if the so called delta variant shows up in someone’s neck of the woods, they might want to at least keep an eye on local hospitalization levels.

          • tully July 21, 2021 at 4:04 pm #

            Hospitalizations at 259 today, topping the previous high of 237 on Dec. 1, 2020.

            Funny old virus, putting more in the hospital in July 2021 than back in December. In all my life, I have never seen a virus put more people in the hospital in July, than during the winter virus season.

          • Slugoon July 21, 2021 at 4:33 pm #

            I bet you’ve never seen an indiscriminate mass vaccination campaign either. Funnily enough, one that coincides with said summer spike. If you can call 259 a spike. 99% unvaccinated, right?

          • tully July 21, 2021 at 6:40 pm #

            259 is a spike when compared to June 14, when hospitalizations were at 95. 97% unvaccinated, as previously stated.

            No, I have not lived through a major vaccination effort; have you? The big polio vaccine effort in the US was before I was born. There have not been any in my lifetime, at least big enough to stick in my memory.

          • Slugoon July 22, 2021 at 3:31 am #

            Polio, that was the one that DID affect all age groups pretty seriously, right? I wonder, did they have to bribe and coerce people to take those vaccines or was it self-evident?

            As for 95.97%, I’m sorry, I just do not believe it. Twitter news. Add it to the long list of lies.

          • tully July 22, 2021 at 6:23 am #

            Polio is more severe than covid; as I said the vaccine roll out was before I was born. By the time I entered school it, along with smallpox and DPT were required. Exemptions were difficult to get.

            But no schools here are requiring the shots. Not the public nor private schools:the city’s 4 colleges/universities are not either. I do not support any mandates whatsoever.

            As for trusting Twitter, I differentiate between a known local person and someone I do not. The Cox spokesman I cited is not in your area, and if you don’t trust him, that’s understandable. It was what I could find quickly. It has been mentioned in local media, but I did not save links. I don’t have a lot of research time during the workweek.

            But have you considered you might be labeling the info a lie simply because it doesn’t fit what you believe? It’s definitely a question I had to ask myself a lot the past few weeks. I had to conclude I had developed a vary narrow Overton Window regarding this mess, and needed to open it a bit.

          • Slugoon July 22, 2021 at 8:00 am #

            I’ve considered the possibility but the problem now Tully is that it’s a case of The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

            In March 2020 the British SAGE group employed a team of behavioural scientists who asserted that “the perceived level of personal threat needs to be increased among those who are complacent, using hard-hitting emotional messaging.”

            Since then it’s been one giant psy-op with lie after lie and u-turn after u-turn from government and non-stop promotion of fear (or ’emotional messaging’ as SAGE would say) based on fraudulent PCR testing.

            The death rates from the Office for National Statistics do not reflect the narrative of the previous sixteen months. The data coming out on vaccinations and variants does not reflect the narrative. The empty hospital that I saw with my own eyes and recounted by friends who work there during the time when hospitals were ‘overflowing’ did not match the narrative. The tens of people I know who have caught it have either brushed it off or felt a bit off for a few days.

            You’ll have to forgive me for not believing a fucking word anybody in government or medical world has to say.

          • tully July 22, 2021 at 9:24 am #

            Given what has happened in Great Britain, discounting the official pronouncements of SAGE and the NHS seems reasonable. I still pay no attention to the CDC or the Lawn Gnome.

            Great Britain also did not see increases in hospitalizations from the delta variant.

            Here we are, which has me mulling the possibility of people in different regions reacting to the viruses differently. The only factor that comes to mind would be obesity. MO has a 34.8 obesity rate, roughly middle of the pack in the US. Looks like GB is around 28%. Is that difference a factor in the difference? Dunno.

        Thanks again for your courage in bringing this to the board’s attention and further for speaking the truth of your reality.

      The “bad vibes” have been here for some time.

      As it is a “doomer porn” blog, I’ll presume he’s referring to the interactions rather than the subject matter.

      But some of the subject matter offered up by the usual suspects gets tiresome, repetitive, lazy, and vile.

      It is all the fault of black, brown, and working-class immigrants.
      It is all the fault of the historically oppressed.

      The foundations of this country are being unwoven before everyone’s eyes, by the extremely powerful, the extremely privileged, the extremely wealthy, the extremely protected, the extremely influential: the proverbial .01%.

      More than many of whom are the vaunted white masters of the universe that a white nation deserves.

      You can’t make this absurdity up.
      And you can’t take being barraged by it
      All
      The
      Time

      By the people you’re made to believe are leaders, serve you and your country’s better interests, that lead you to argue with friends and family about.

      But it’s browny’s fault.

      You can be tolerant of this imbecility 99% of the time.
      Clearly many serial posters have nothing better to do, or no means or ability to do something more constructive.

      The level of emotion in the press, out on the streets, and even here on CFN is explosive. I would say I have sympathy for those fooled into getting the jab, but I don’t. They are weak and would happily take all of us down with them.

        Some are being forced to take this experimental mRNA concoction in order to continue working.
        Some countries are now basically saying get it or become a shut in.

        The Virus is not as bad as it is made out to be in most cases and the level of shrill take it or else is troubling.

        My wifes company told her to get it she has actual blood clotting issues and wound up with a massive blood clot on her lungs that put her in hospital for a month and a half.
        When I hauled her into the ER they not only believed she was faking it buit one of the nurses came out and told her she was faking it.
        After the scan they could not move fast enough as she did not present with the classic symptoms of pulmonary embolism.
        Apparently 20 some odd years later she is the subject of a case study locally at the hospital.
        The reality is most people drop dead from this and she not only survived but went untreated for several hours.

        Her doctor a big pharms shill refused to write her note and said the mRNA jab was better than getting the Virus.

            Paul should have stuck to the issue of whether GOF research was conducted in Wuhan. Not go into “You are responsible for 4 million deaths.” That gave Fauci an opportunity to grandstand about what Paul was “implying” instead of being forced to answer a simple yes/no question.

            Fauci’s relying on some paper that reviewed the research and said it was not GOF research was also a distraction. The name and authors of the paper should have been read into the Cong. Record so they could be examined for what they actually said, when written, for wnat purpose, etc.

            I mean, who would suddenly get the brainstorm of writing a whole paper about whath something was NOT??
            Sounds like prep for plausible deniability.

            Maybe Fauci identified the paper he was waving about and I missed it.

        Dr. Robert Malone explained (that is, if I understand his point correctly and recall correctly) that adverse reactions to the new jabs follow a Bell curve. He showed this in his (long, detailed) interview with Sonia Elijah of Conservative Woman.

        So, many who got the jabs will indeed have no ARs. As for the future we just don’t know.

        Probably among those who have an adverse reaction, actual deaths follow another Bell curve.

        For me the unknown in this whole story from the medical point of view is how many lives could have been saved via early medical treatment.

        The second unknown is, why was this information suppressed. To what end?

          It’s pretty clear to me, but difficult to prove, that Big Pharma, Gates and national governments are in cahoots to make some seriously large profits.

          I read that the American Academy of Pediatrics is demanding that all children over the age of 2 years old wear face masks at schools and nurseries until vaccinated.

          It’s biggest donor…? Pfizer. The criminality is so off the charts, so enormous, I think that’s why nothing is being done. Nobody can bring themselves to accept that this is really going on and so blatantly.

            Your 1st bit is perfect, Slugger. Their motives, however, are more sinister than Just large profits.

            They assassinated Haiti’s President to incur unrecoupable costs to jab 11,000,000 of the most unprofitable souls on all of Earth.

            Their motives are Satanic and about complete control. Complete. Everyone.

            I was skeptical about the Gates link, Owl, because my skepticism works both ways occasionally but I also see that a major UK Covid testing company, Mologic, is being bought by an investment consortium led by… the Soros Economic Development Fund (SEDF) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

            Those two names, always, every time.

            https://peterwebster.substack.com/p/pandemic-the-next-big-thing

            I think I posted this before but it is very good on the economics of Big Pharma and how much they need this ongoing vaccine business. And also, just how powerful they are and how enormous their profits really are. Also, how much they actually spend on marketing etc. vs. how much they actually spend on research (the latter, not that much), although this is always the rationale for this industry sector’s existence.

            So, relevant to this portion of the thread.

    Slugoon and Night Owl . From the last post. Yea, I’ve got a bunch of guitars.A 1960 Gibson Mahogany Melody Maker,, 1972 Blond Tele, an ES 335 , don’t know what year. I have a nice pedal steel And a whole bunch of other Jap shit, amps, pedals, keyboards.I’m a hoarder. I was making music for years on a Sony real to real. All the way back into the ’80’s. That was until I picked up my music pal wrapped around a tree. in ’99. Kinda turned me off the God bullshit that OG spouts. Before that I was a good Catholic boy.

    • O.G. Hawkins July 21, 2021 at 10:12 am #

      I am sorry about your friend … but am unclear why the incident resulted in considering God thusly.

      God never promised you a rose garden. Your buddy had free will as he skied or drove or fell into a tree. Do you think that God was supposed to miraculously alter science to make the tree disappear for a second?

      Perhaps He wanted to test how you would handle this situation. Perhaps that was your Job moment in life and you failed miserably. Perhaps you will yet succeed gloriously. I pray for the latter for you.

      I do not spout “BS.” There is God. There is Satan. Your thoughts cannot change that Reality. It is not up to you.

    • Slugoon July 21, 2021 at 10:27 am #

      You’re both making me feel very inferior. That’s a nice vintage selection. A Tele is the one guitar that eludes me though I love them in blonde/butterscotch even if they are a bit ubiquitous.

      I’ve just sold my Les Paul, which wasn’t a vintage model but it was damn expensive and that was before the current crazy price rises. I’d like to try a 335. That or a Tele would be my next purchase.

      I’m down to just two guitars now, both Strats. The older one needs a fret job but I couldn’t bring myself to sell it as it plays great and sounds sublime with its CS69 pickups. The new one is an Ultra HSS Strat and is without doubt the best guitar I’ve ever owned. It does everything, incredibly well, but still doesn’t quite have the magic of the CS69s.

      Sorry to hear about your friend.

    • Night Owl July 21, 2021 at 10:52 am #

      You have good taste, Stelmo. I’d like to get a vintage Melody Maker or Les Paul, Jr. in TV yellow. So basic, but they sound so good.

        Regarding your last post — Your next purchase should be a 335. You will not regret it.

        I prefer vintage generally, but they did a superb ice-tea-finish version with parallelogram inlays a few years back which definitely tempted me to pick up a new one.

        Also, if you buy new, it appears Gibson’s quality control is currently better than it has been in about 20 years (excluding Bozeman-made products, which are top notch).

        Do it.

    Jews are behind the pandemic’ chanted at anti-vaccine protest in Poland
    By GADI ZAIG   JULY 21, 2021 13:16

    ‘Every Pole can see today that behind the ‘plandemic’ are the Jews,’ the crowd chanted

    An anti-vaccine protest that took place in Glogow, Poland, blamed Jews as being responsible for the start of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, according to the website Notes from Poland.

    Those that took part in Monday’s protest chanted: “Jews are behind the pandemic” and that they “rule the world.”

    From a German friend:

    “I‘m watching a report from the disaster area in Germany on German TV. So instead of sending evacuation teams and officials helping with removing the debris etc, they sent mobile test centers and jab clinics!!! ‘Because the last thing that people need right now is to get sick of Covid.’

    Laschet, Merkel‘s probable successor is having a speech after joking around minutes before, saying that what needs to be done is reducing Carbon Emissions. People are booing.”

    Could this disaster have been prevented? Yes, to large degree. Why wasn’t it? Was it yet another beyond-desperate attempt to find a way to jab more of the populace? I don’t know, but this is fishy. It could also just be them taking grotesque advantage of a disaster to move their nefarious agenda forward.

Many people who hear my opinions of these topics accuse me of liking it when malevolent and stupid people kill other people by spreading lies about COVID.  They think I like it when harmful false ideas are spread through social media. Many of them are proud Americans who wave flags and celebrate the Fourth of July, but they don’t understand the function and power of the First Amendment and free speech (the latter of which is a broader issue). It’s as though they don’t understand that many truths are complex, making them unendingly imperfect and tentative. It’s as though they don’t understand that by allowing the marketplace of ideas to run its course, we will be in the best position to understand what is going on around us on every topic and every issue. It’s as though they want to completely trust a government that excels in spewing out lies, year after year, administration after administration.”

      It is a lie right now. Saying that the rate has risen by 100% sounds catastrophic. It is baloney. For example, Arizona has gone from 4- 500 a day to a little over 1000. Just like most other states, up 100% or so.

      So what? I happen to believe the Delta, or whatever variant you want to follow is infecting unvaxxed and non converting vaxxed patients. It seem to be much gentler than alpha, probably because we and the virus are adapting. These are parasites, successful parasites do not kill their host. Eventually the folks that are not armed with an immune response will get exposed and build their immunity. When it is complete, it will end.

      I wonder how many viruses accommodate themselves to human bodies and eventually become necessary for good health.

      Yep.

      “It is fairly clear that we are well past the public health concern with Covid. The treatments for those with severe cases are now highly effective. Most of the population has natural immunity. The variants appear to be less severe than the first wave of the virus, which is not uncommon in pandemics. In other words, we are at the point where we can live with Covid, just as we live with the flu. The question now is whether we can live with the people who have spent two years lying about it.

        Covid might just pass through like a cold, or it might develop more severe symptoms not seen with a cold, namely flu. Or it might go past flu to cause inflammation and harm to vascular systems and oxygen uptake. Especially absent *early treatment.*

        That is per Dr. Peter McCullough and IMO he is the go-to for the medical aspect of covid.

    “When you get close to the impasse, to the point where you just cannot believe that you might be able to survive, then the whirl starts. You get desperate and confused. Suddenly, you don’t understand anything anymore, and here the symptom of the neurotic becomes very clear. The neurotic is a person who does not see the obvious.” Perls states that when one understands the impasse correctly, he/she wakes up and experiences a satori, a Zen word meaning “enlightenment.” He further says: “It’s the awareness, the full experience of how you are stuck, that makes you recover, and realize the whole thing is not reality.” Perls therefore sees the process of therapy as one of becoming aware of and working through the roles that one plays and then experiencing the impasse. This leads to an experience of death or fear of death which then results in an explosion or release. Perls says, “The death layer comes to life, and this explosion is the link-up with the authentic person who is capable of experiencing and expressing his emotions.”

        Sounds like that’s part of it or a symptom of it. Of course confusion is natural when learning or when authorities are trying to trick you by telling you different things. The Impasse is deeper than that and not just a stage of learning or temporary confusion. The Impasse is pathological in other words.

    Fritz Perls quotes:

    “Gestalt Prayer
    I do my thing and you do yours.
    I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
    And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
    You are you, and I am I,
    And if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful.
    If not, it can’t be helped.”

    “Lose your mind and come to your senses.”

    “…nobody can stand truth if it is told to him. Truth can be tolerated only if you discover it yourself because then, the pride of discovery makes the truth palatable.”

    “A thousand plastic flowers don’t make a desert bloom. A thousand empty faces don’t fill an empty room”.”

    “The person most in control is the person who can give up control.”

    Yoho: Some good ones. Very 60’s of course – that’s when he was big. The Gestalt Prayer? To be used with caution. Roles are part of being human and one must fulfill ones that have been taken up until they fall away. But one can be aware that one is more than their roles even before then. The prayer is good for people who are awakening and have been too bound by roles and the expectations of others.

    Life comes in stages. Learn your craft and then forget all about it as the French artist said. Then inspiration may flow. The same with roles. If someone adopts the prayer as their credo too soon, then one is a splatter artist like Hunter. Or how about raising kids like that? Imagine not having a Father or Mother to rebel against? Since they let you run wild and didn’t fulfill their role for you?

      This is exactly what I would encourage and hope will happen in the US if they begin mandating COVID vaccine proof or passports. We need to have businesses that open and cater exclusively to those resistant and opposed to the jab.

      Yes it will be similar to regression like “separate but equal” but at least it will show those in power that we cannot be stopped and excluded from living our normal lives. I would gladly patronize bars, restaurants, stores, etc. that cater exclusively to the unvaxxed.

    Does anybody here know where this so called ‘Delta Variant’ strain of Covid came from? Things were beginning to calm down a bit, then all the sudden I began hearing on the news about a new strain of the virus, run for the hills. Is it a mutation of Covid 19? How did it develope? Or is it something totally new, over from Wuhan China just a few weeks ago, when the media began reporting on it? I remember reading that HIV could change its RNA to defeat the various anti viral medications introduced into the human body to treat it. Is that what’s happening here with Covid, it is mutating around the vaccines that have been introduced? If so, after Delta, can we expect Covid Echo an Covid Foxtrot, and all the way thru the alphabet, forever?

    WTF do I know, I barely got thru Biology 101? On the other hand, I’m convinced the Screw Driver Smoothies tm, have kept me and those around me above ground the past 18 months.

Remember that movie with Cher, she was just an ordinary mom who concocted an elixer that cured her son of some heretofore incurable disease? You got your OJ to boost your immune system with a dose of Vitamin C, 80 proof Vodka (Titos) to kill any lurking viruses, and different spices to make it taste good. Drink an icy pitcher out in the sun, there’s your Vitamin D. Good health and staying alive ensue. So far.

      • BackRowHeckler July 21, 2021 at 7:39 pm #

        Yeah that’s a possibility I never considered, Delta doesn’t even really exist, but was created in some propaganda mill in Manhattan or Zurich.

    • MaryQueen July 21, 2021 at 7:21 pm #

      The virus was essentially gone in June 2020.

      But ‘cases’ kept it alive. And then that was starting to be obvious when they brought in the vaccines and promised it would put things back to normal. That’s when the ‘variant’ and ‘breakthrough’ cases started.

      I will go out on a limb and opine that the vaccine injuries are being marketed as ‘variants’ and they’ve already been caught lying as to who is getting ill with it.

      • Mike Roberts July 21, 2021 at 9:23 pm #

        No, it was not “essentially gone” over a year ago. Of course cases kept it alive; that’s how viruses spread. Variants are occurring all the time; some variants have concerning mutations and get a designation. The Beta variant was first seen in May 2020, in South Africa.

        So pretty much everything you’ve stated is either a truism or wrong.

        • MaryQueen July 21, 2021 at 9:53 pm #

          The cases aren’t.

          The test doesn’t work.

          • Mike Roberts July 21, 2021 at 10:36 pm #

            How do you know that “the cases aren’t?” Is it because you don’t like the numbers? If the cases aren’t cases, then the case fatality rate must be sky high but I doubt that’s the case and I doubt you’d admit that. Or you might counter by saying “the deaths aren’t”. In either case, you have little evidence to back up your claims. Apart from deaths, hospitalisations would be right down, for the same number of cases. This only happens in countries that have been well vaccinated.

            No idea what you’re on about with “Take a Poo”.

            Yes, the more I comment the more I reveal. Thanks for spotting that.

          • Night Owl July 22, 2021 at 4:05 am #

            You claim cases kept it alive, Mike. But the way cases are determined is via a test that is fraudulent.

            The PCR test is fraudulent. So what cases are you referring to? How do you know they are real?

            If you are looking at the stats, with regard to deaths, most deaths have anywhere from 3-4 comorbidities attached to them. So who had Corona and how many did it kill, if any?

            Awaiting your detailed breakdown, backed by concrete evidence.

          • Mike Roberts July 22, 2021 at 7:00 am #

            Night Owl, I don’t know the true figures and neither do you. But for a virus to not go extinct, it needs to infect people. They are the cases.

          • Night Owl July 22, 2021 at 7:14 am #

            But the test is fraudulent and they are using test-based numbers to push the pandemic.

        • King of Comedy July 22, 2021 at 10:16 am #

          MR

          The Spanish Flu, an H1N1 virus, appeared sometime in Feb-March 1918, made its way around the globe and was largely “gone” by April of 2020. H1N1 viruses did not go away of course but the particular strain of H1N1 that caused the pandemic made its way through the population, ran out of hosts and the “normal” flu resumed its seasonal assault on the human population. Covid will follow the same trajectory and I can say that with confidence because every pandemic/epidemic in human history has done so, most long before the advent of modern medicine.

          In 1918, they didn’t even know viruses existed so they couldn’t designate variants with “concerning mutations” every two months and maybe they were the better for it. Viruses mutate. It’s what they do. Furthermore natural selection favors a virus that is highly transmissible and mildly virulent. Killing the host is not a great thing if your whole purpose on the planet is passing on genetic material (which is the purpose of all life on the planet not just viruses). So, long story short, the “novel” coronavirus will join with its cousins already extant on the planet and cause the dreaded head cold. It’s just a matter of time.

          No doubt there will be hotspots, like the one in parts of Missouri at the moment, but this is due to the uneven distribution of the virus across populations as a function of time and not doomsday mutations like it is presented by the hysterics in the media. We are at the “boy who cried wolf” stage of the variant propaganda.

    More details on the German floods emerge.

    I see a pattern.

    “Mindestens in einem Kreis, der von der Flutkatastrophe getroffen wurde, wurden Sirenen absichtlich nicht ausgelöst, um “eine Panik zu vermeiden”. Unfassbar. Wofür haben wir die Dinger denn, wenn wir sie nicht benutzen”

    Translation is that in at least one county affected by the flooding, warning sirens were purposefully not set off, in order to avoid creating panic.

    Hahahahaha. Whoooo boy!

      SO now they are not just taking advantage of disasters, they are helping to maximize the damage, so that their agenda can even further benefit.

      How can anyone not understand how evil these psychos in charge are?

    • Islander July 21, 2021 at 9:31 pm #

      WTF?
      “to avoid panic”? What have they been doing for the past 16 months if it hasn’t been creating panic?

      As for people not knowing what the sirens mean, did anyone think about this when they installed the sirens?

      Don’t they have any emergency vehicles with loudspeakers?

      Offhand I don’t think MaryQueen has this quite right. I don’t think anyone intended this outcome.

      It sounds to me as though local officials are totally clueless and spineless to make any independent judgments and take independent action. It may be that htey were lying comforrably in their beds and just didn’t want to get out of bed.

      The same goes for the people manning the Talsperren. They weren’t “sure” and they didn’t want to be made fools of if it turned out that they had been overcautious by letting water out.

      Both Siren-Man and Dam-Man were so concerned about what people think of them that they were unable to focus their minds on actual risk factors and take action.

      The quote at the end of the Twitter thread is a pathetic whine: “No one had any idea of the extent of this . . .” Like, yeah, that’s why you have a Wetterdienst that sends out warnings: For you to take them seriously and take appropriate action, Dummkopf. Is there any town in the betroffene area of Germany where the authorities took any appropriate emergency measures?

      It seems to me that public authorities who failed to take emergency actions could be charged with homicidal negligence. Presumably they have professional qualifications for the positions they hold—are Beamte.

      Then to come along with jabs at the ready and drone an about corona . . . I’d be tempted to smash some of these corona ghouls against a brick wall.

      • MaryQueen July 21, 2021 at 9:49 pm #

        It is dangerous to believe the people in power are simply incompetent.

        I assure you, they are not.

        • Islander July 21, 2021 at 10:07 pm #

          I don’t think of this type of official as a “person in power.”

          All dark speculations are wild unless and until there is some kind of inquiry or by other means (whistleblowers; transcripts of official communications, etc.) solid info makes its way to the public.

          I agree that the eagerness to push the climate agenda is obvious. But I don’t think this means that TPTB let or caused this to happen. They will use it, but that doesn’t mean they caused it.

          • Night Owl July 22, 2021 at 3:52 am #

            I generally agree, Islander. My approach is based on pattern recognition and simply following the money or asking “who benefits”?

            Incompetence could have explained both of these situations, but without some kind of investigation, it is difficult to say.

            One thing that would interest me would be to know who called the shots in these events. I mentioned recently that the group ElternStehenAuf was prevented from providing various forms of aid to the locals due to their “political views” (meaning with regard to Corona). My wife was going to aid this group in providing aid, as she works in mental health.

            This was a very strange occurance in isolation, but not if one looks at the larger pattern of smears and attempts to silence a certain opposition.

        • Islander July 22, 2021 at 6:59 am #

          N.O., re
          “I mentioned recently that the group ElternStehenAuf was prevented from providing various forms of aid to the locals due to their “political views” (meaning with regard to Corona). My wife was going to aid this group in providing aid, as she works in mental health.

          This was a very strange occurance in isolation, but not if one looks at the larger pattern of smears and attempts to silence a certain opposition.”

          Is your point here that some PTB did not shy away from politicizing assistance, by shutting out a group that is associated with dissenting from the mainstream covid narrative? This to prevent this group from getting potential national exposure? Or just to be shits? How can, actually, anyone intervene to prevent a voluntary association or society from helping others who wish and need to be helped???

          I can’t really grasp that! If ElternStehenAuf brought food or clothing or technical help to a town, how can any “authorities” prevent victims from accepting that help—for any reason other than that the town were a no-go area for *everyone* because of physical danger? How can some civil groups be allowed to help and others not? I don’t get that.
          Here in the USA as you know it is not at all uncommon for, say, the Hells Angels (a very rowdy group!) to charge into an emergency situ and provide all kinds of assistance. Perhaps in the current atmosphere that would no longer happen. I am kind of cut off from mainstream and mainland doings. For sure if, here, there is a disaster or a family loses a home to fire or whatever, many local people and orgs spring into action.
          Is it possible that TPTB in emergency response in D’land want to control what “outsiders” actually get to see and perhaps video and tweet out to the world? Maintain an informational cordon sanitaire around the situ?

          I was pretty disgusted yesterday to see at Der Spiegel Nachrichten (German ed.) that flood news was way down the webpage, under a bunch of corrona BS and news of Merkel’s great achievement in getting an “agreement” with the USA regarding NS2. Pathetic. Not a good precedent and not a victory of any kind as I see it to hand power to the USA to force “agreements” with them regarding German-Russian energy arrangements.

          • Night Owl July 22, 2021 at 7:11 am #

            They don’t want the group to get positive news coverage, as far as we can tell. The pro-lockdown crowd, media, etc. here do not like this group, as they have been fighting legal battles to end mask mandates for children in schools, as well as to stop the push to mandate the gene therapy in order for childeren to be allowed to return to school.

            They can’t actually prevent the group from assisting, but they made a big show about an official refusal. I have no idea if they will attempt to stop aid via the authorities.

            I would say we are shocked, but it fits a pattern.

          • Night Owl July 22, 2021 at 7:12 am #

            BTW, Der Spiegel is not considered a neutral (or some would even say credible) news source here. It is considered quite far left, much as Bild is to the right.

            Spiegel are also open promoters of the WEF agenda.

    Dr Who was loved by millions of normal White men. It was already very, very liberal, both feminist and gay wise. But that still wasn’t enough. It had to be utterly destroyed so that White men couldn’t watch it any more.

    Similarly, the Avatars can’t make up their mind whether to rule us or destroy us. Thus they do a bit of both. Destroying us is more fun since they hate us, but maybe not very wise. As Pierce said, they always over-reach.

        One person pointed out that the relevant point might be that they are exempting themselves from adhering to an *executive order.* The implication is that these rules have not been voted on in Parliament. If MPs are not subject to executive orders, then why should anyone else be?

        If the MPs refuse to accept nosy questions about their vaxx status and refuse to show a vaxx passport in order to enter Parliament it might be a legal precedent for everyone else.

        In-group arguing has its advantages but when the arguments are circular, like arguing about how the media/govt lies by using their own data, TPTB can easily manipulate the scene.

        I just limit to anecdotes by reliable individuals in such a situation. That is one thing I learnt from Malays.

        All I know is, no one was dropping dead like what they said about the black death or Ebola. And that once crude oil breaches $65, our “cases” increase.

        If someone says he saw 1000s dying in hospitals and I see none of my neighbours/friends dying, I rather believe my eyes.

        Don’t presume to know my motives. This global story is clearly jot sbout me. D’uh!

        Me & my feelings are irrelevant. We both know that. Yet you attack me and my motives so that you may avoid dealing with The Truth that your beloved gov’t poisoned you.

        Sad but True.

    I feel Really Bad about a few people that I love that are double-jabbed. Dead Man Walking. I will treat them with respect as they suffer their choice.

    But the low-life scumbags that extorted my life’s work from me?

    Expect no mercy.

    For your entertainment, I now share a portion of the eMail that I sent The Cabal this morning.

    ———-

    SUBJECT: How ya feeling?

    Good morning youse scumbags,

    How are you feeling?

    My girlfriend is a hairdresser in a salon. That puts her “in the know” of much anecdotal evidence.

    Knowing as many clients, colleagues and colleagues’ clients as she does working at the same salon for over 30 years, she has never seen anything like this past month.

    She knows 4 men who were perfectly healthy and then dropped dead. 3 were in their 50s while Mike, 35, leaves a young widow with 2 small children.

    It is becoming increasingly obvious that The Pyramid Capstone is poisoning the masses in their de-population program.

    Sad but True.

    The double-jabbed are going to be dropping like flies for the next couple years as rust never sleeps.

    They will blame the “selfish” unjabbed for growing “variants” like centuries of Real science and medicine no longer matter.

    I am now researching the addictive characteristics of the double-jabbed. Perhaps you can help me out by or even Just with your answers to these questions:

    1) Are you double-jabbed? (Y/N)
    2) Are ya jonesin’ for a booster-jab? (Y/N)
    3) Do you get creepy ulcerations of the skin? (Y/N)
    4) If you could get booster-jabbed tomorrow, would you? (Y/N)
    5) Would you pay $10,000 to get a booster-jab? (Y/N)
    6) Do you get a little tummy rush when you think of a booster-jab? (Y/N)
    7) Would you pay $20,000 to get a booster-jab? (Y/N)
    8) Do you Believe that Billy Gates loves you? (Y/N)
    9) If you identify as female, have you experienced bizarre vaginal bleeding? (Y/N)
    10) Would you trade your mortgage-free house for a booster-jab? (Y/N)
    11) Do you see now that God is displeased with you? (Y/N)
    12) Next time, would you choose Right over Wrong if you have to do this whole life thing yet again? (Y/N)

    All responses will be kept confidential.

    The questionnaire has been kept to Y/N questions so that only aggregate data may displayed or be of any use.

    If you are jonesin,’ that’s between you & God & Pfizer but, like those phoney bologna actors on your TV News “dying of the Covids” and wishing that they’d’ve taken the Devil’s Kool-aid, perhaps others can learn from your mistakes.

    Right? That’s why you took the Devil’s Kool-aid, Right? On account of your overwhelming concern for others. Right?

    The Lord works in mysterious ways.

    Epoch reports that CDC is walking back the VAERS numbers for this past week. Response when asked to explain why:

    “It is double what it was yesterday and so it definitely is incorrect,” the spokeswoman said. “We checked our stats internally and it’s only 6,000. So someone doing an update misrepresented that or made a mistake, in other words.”

    Funny that they don’t consider it possible that the reason the numbers went up…was that perhaps the numbers went up. Clearly just a mistake! Of course that may be the case, but curious how that is presented as the only possible explanation.

      Also curious that they “checked their stats internally” to makes this determination.

      So they are saying that their internal stats are different than the stats they display externally.

      Of course that doesn’t surprise me one bit. But they should at least lie about it, per usual, and come up with an explanation that sounds more legit.

    • Redneck Liberal July 22, 2021 at 9:48 am #

      Maybe MaryQ works for the CDC, remotely. Her goal this week was to see her beloved “vaxx death stats” double so a little judicious hacking had worked wonders for her.

          What “points”?

          First, you reference “Epoch Times” as your source so your “argument” ended there.

          Thereafter, all you offer is your personal interpretation of misreported then-over-cooked supposed statistics. What “points” would you have me address?

          I then pointed it back of the resident Queen of Over-Egged statistics. How’s that flinging mud?

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder July 23, 2021 at 8:13 am #

            Sigh.

            I made two points of conversation (yes, on my own like a big boy) based not off “overcooked statistics”, or a “weak source”, but on the actual quote from the actual spokeswoman at the CDC.

            Apparently if the source is Epoch Times or any other rag you don’t like, quotes made by public officials (also cited elsewhere verbatim by mainstream sources) are not to be used in a topical fashion.

    ‘I have no wish that this site become an echo chamber of agreement.’ Benr

    Yes, thank you for that, although certain people here seem to want just that.

    Tucker Carlson says that his show is the sworn enemy of “lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink.”

    So am I. The pomposity and smugness certainly exist here, lying too, I imagine, but it’s the groupthink that’s grown galore and there’s nothing gallant about it.

    The other day, it was the usual circle of jerks, sticking together in their criticism of me, and I could sense the comfort they were feeling in my absence and the weakness of their contrived, cartoonish camaraderie. Not one of them could stand against me on their own. I’m speaking about yo yo, Hog man, Night gnat and Mary.

    I called yo yo out again yesterday for his usual methodology of ascribing inaccurate imputations, and also in the past for actually outright lying. He’s the group center, (off center?), with Hog man seeming to try and grunt himself into that position, all the while dropping piles of hog shit around this pen of pathetic pontificates.

    Night gnat, as always, is trying to be alluring in his ever so see through nightie, maintaining his stagy seduction to perhaps engage in some steamy Nazi group kink on top of the groupthink.

    Now, last but not least is Mary. The would be heroine who’s really not much more than an annoying horse fly, with that constant buzz over her incessant, ignoratio elenchi links.

    When being taken to task the other day by heated parry, this crunt, behaving like a genuine, pusillanimous pure blooded pussy, tried to seek shelter from our host and hoped that we would be banned. Now there’s a high grade heroine for you.

    I must give credit to RL, and even though we may not be in the same book, here at least we’re on the same page.

    “Mr Hawkins is well off the rails, and MaryQ is close behind, but remains cunning enough to ^appear^ to be “fair-minded” until you’ve read enough of her lunatic, arrogant and disdainful ‘troof’ statements.” RL

    Wonderful take on Mary, cunning and sly. Yo yo must see this, but he prefers the pack. Not wolves, but rats.

    Groupthink. “For the instinct of imitation and absence of courage govern society and the mob alike.”

    ? Marcel Proust, Sodom and Gomorrah

    In a raging street battle against the Left, who among this group would you want by your side, or to protect your back?

    Yo yo? No, it’s strategy for him. Out in the open you go, after he yells ‘Charge’! He’s too white to die.

    Night gnat? Only good with a squad of goons clubbing some poor slob into oblivion. Wants to continue making predictions like ‘Trump will be president.’ He’ll tell you, ‘don’t be afraid to die, you’re immortal’.

    Now, I reluctantly have to admit that Hog man may just be crazy enough to hurl himself at the enemy with such a crazy ferocity that they’ll scatter to the four winds in a second. But then again, I just might get a bullet in the back and then be used as his shield. A cruel mutha fucka wanting the vaccinated to suffer and die, so essentially he’s a loose cannon. Probably should be fragged.

    Again, last but not least, Mary. Yes, a crunt and not a grunt. Maybe favors for the enemy to stay alive? Wouldn’t be surprised. Mata Mary? Yes, cunning and sly, false heroine on high.

    A real troop of a group. Too busy trying to show how smart they are. No wonder the Left is destroying the country.

      [Yoho]’s the group center, (off center?), with Hog man seeming to try and grunt himself into that position, all the while dropping piles of hog shit around this pen of pathetic pontificates.

      You should read me more often. I constantly remind youse Americans that you cannot see what is going on on account of you have been raised to delusionally Believe yourselves exceptional!

      Now, if I were trying to become the group centre, I would not regularly spew this to the group … and crickets …

      Right? Your allegations and assumptions of my motives do not withstand simple analysis of facts.

      As for calling my thoughts and analysis “hog shit … pontifications” … well, that’s Just, like, your opinion, man!

      Now, I reluctantly have to admit that Hog man may just be crazy enough to hurl himself at the enemy with such a crazy ferocity that they’ll scatter to the four winds in a second.

      That’s the plan.

      But then again, I just might get a bullet in the back and then be used as his shield.

      Never! My Faith in God is far too Strong to even entertain thought of such a selfish act.

      A cruel mutha fucka wanting the vaccinated to suffer and die, so essentially he’s a loose cannon.

      “Bad news! Kill the messenger!”

      I do not want the double-jabbed to die. I recognize that the double-jabbed will die. Big difference.

      I am not a loose cannon. I am lazer-focused on Good v Evil.

      Probably should be fragged.

    Mary Queen et al

    I think you are right and wrong about the PTB. I get it you think they are the devil, smart ready to screw the troops for profit whenever possible.

    I think that what the real story is that the PTB know that the problems today are impossible to solve. Americans are notorious optimists, thinking the momentum of the country is positive with the government leading the charge. This has been amplified by the Stupidification of the population over the last fifty years.

    The PTB are pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes about what government is all about. The FF put together a system that restricts what the government can do to enslave the public. The last fifty years has been spent by the PTB crowd to take away the gift the FF gave America.

    So today, all the problems are not even being addressed by the PTB. Politics, noise, riots, protests, chain link fences, masks, the press, absolutely NOTHING aimed at fighting the real problems. Total unadulterated BS.

    Look at Covid as an example. Whether you believe in it or not, it is a problem destroying small business in the country. What have the PTB done about it to solve the problem. Masks, separation, wash hands and new vaccines. The only thing that seems to have mattered is the vaccine for a cost. Fauci came out with masks at the very beginning, with absolutely nothing since. I think some posters here are finally figuring out that even with vaccines, the crud is spreading as each mutation occurs and hits unvaxxed and susceptible folks. No solution.

    Another is global warming. Not climate change, AGW. Too many people unwilling to give up Happy Motoring. The PTB try to remove oil from the picture without a substitute that makes sense. The US has already become a net importer again, according to EIA, as the fracking group try to recoil from the PTB duplicity. Oil is going up in price and becoming less available. Hope everyone is saving their money to spend 40% more for EVs. Where is that doubling of electric generation going to come from? “Then a miracle happens”. No answers, ignore and politicize.

    Another is the border. The PTB response, ignore the issue, just ignore it. Let them all in, after all they will vote Democrat. Fly them to cities to increase the Blue voting centers. Wages drop from competition, artificially raise the wage scale with minimum wage increases. In the meantime lunch at McDonalds goes from $10 to $25. Supermarkets charge 20% higher, inflation takes off. The US literally becomes a brown country, a third world country. The PTB smile as they jump ship and go elsewhere leaving behind a cesspool.

    So MQ, no they are not stupid, but they appear so as the flounder about trying to find ways of not doing anything while convincing the very stupid public how wonderful they are.

    Want to see it in action, just watch Biden and his declarations. It is incredible.

    • MaryQueen July 22, 2021 at 10:35 am #

      JAZ, I do agree that they can be do seemingly unbelievably stupid things but I think most of that is planned. What seems like blunders to us can be very well orchestrated to look that way. The end result is they are off the hook, because, well, everyone makes mistakes.

      And sure, there is a possibility that they are just incompetent, but I don’t buy it. I don’t think there are any coincidences or accidents that aren’t planned on some level or another.

      The border problem is engineered, so is the climate change bullshit. They all exist to create crises that we must sacrifice more of our rights to ‘fix’ or ‘keep us safe.’

      • JohnAZ July 22, 2021 at 10:54 am #

        My statement is that the PTB use their resources to bullshit us about problems they can do nothing about,

        And that is getting worse day to day.

        As JHK said it will. Government is becoming more ineffectual.

        The PTB appear stupid as their declarations become more absurd.

    Someone asked where the Delta came from.

    India

    Are variants responses by the virus as it runs up against different ethnic groups?

    I do notice that the spread has been speeding up with each variety. India was a couple of months ago, the Delta is now 83% of the infection rate as the virus roots out new susceptible folks.

    Adding on to my last post, the border’s Dem opening has raised the infection rate at the border by 900% per Fox News. Not a surprise. The PTB reaction? Nada!!

        What is

        The neo far Left. Wokesters?

        Where did the groups get financed from? This answer are not friends of the US. Remember Bush with the terrorists? We are going to use our intelligence capabilities to track down the terrorists. What aren’t those resources being used to find the domestic terrorists that are tearing the country apart.

        Maybe because the domestic terrorists are a huge part of the same intelligence agencies.

      I’d say the number one problem in the country right now is the A/B mentality. Everyone is dug in, with one opinion or another. Changing of minds on core issues is about as rare as it was in 1861.

        I believe the split is a phenomenon of the Disinformation Funnel, as described by Devin Nunes in his “Countdown to Socialism” pamphlet.

        Also, as has been noted by many, competing echo chambers tend to amplify outrage as it is bounced between them.

        I liken the split to competing expert witnesses in a jury trial. Unfortunately, in our case the jury is also on trial and cannot decide impartially, which expert is ‘most correct.’

        That leaves a heavy burden on us who seek out the truth for themselves. And to have that burden impeded by censorship can be debilitating, physically, mentally, and emotionally when forming a world view.

        The battle for our future is the VAXXED vs. UNVAXXED conflict that is picking up steam. This has real potential to light it off. Here the stressors of disinformation, censorship and the desire for truth will collide.

        Never do we see side by side comparisons of what is truth and what is fiction because to do so is to agree on what is true, and those who control the narrative want to control what is true, and more importantly, they want the power to tattoo FALSE any source of friction.

        You can’t change you race. Transracialism has been rejected, at least when Whites try and do it. And Blacks don’t want Whites adopting their rap culture or idiom. They don’t want to share their sacred culture, lol.

        At a South African funeral for looters who were killed by Indian “vigilantes” (defenders), one Black woman hissed that it was “racism”.

    I generally mistrust callouts in such settings. Often times they are part of a woven narrative and are actually intended to provide gravity to a specific set of contributors. Typically at the expense of others. So I notice the handles that are consistently mentioned and I pay even more attention to those who are never mentioned. Those are the voices that are truly being marginalized. And so now we are gripped in an irresolvable conflict. As was intended by those who orchestrate the meta narratives. No one is going to change their position. Occasionally=they will but you will probably never even know about it as they are likely lurkers.

    Set aside even the means for the moment and see the ends please. If it wasn’t the virus or virus, it would be climate or “climate” or any other concoction that would be efficacious in herding the good flocks into their respective pens. The primary point being that your country’s autonomy has been dissolved for the service of private “executive” power and profits. Your basic freedoms as a human being have been erased for the same. And now your dignity is to be stripped away completely so that you can be a malleable cog in the wheel of their depravity and barbarism. You know, all of those elite aristocratic qualities that they cunningly project onto those they wish to destroy. Anything to prevent “the people” from seeing themselves, knowing themselves, and more precisely, from knowing that those who are “beneficent shepherds” are actually ravening wolves.

    Would Mr. Kunstler kindly share the source from which this observation was taken? Were these statistics aggregated over a similar time-period? I ask out of curiosity because sometimes counting taking place over a longer time period but reported all at once can lead to comparisons, (and conclusions), that are not necessarily accurate.

    They didn’t want to create a panic. People would start calling the police and overwhelm the system. The siren only works in conjunction with the media – and they didn’t feel like reporting on it.

    The media want to be all in all it seems. But they’re not up to the task. Or someone higher up wanted to cause a disaster.

          Fantastic session. Too bad the reporter on the spot in the flood area, Martin, is not as clear and coherent as Reiner in his verbal delivery. Reiner speaks in sentences. Martin goes on and on with run-on senttences that keep veering off into something else. Still, he gets the basics across. The weirdest thing is the robots suddenly in the background directing in very loud electronic “voices” that no filming is to be done from the air. Like an apocalyptic sci-fi movie, right there in Germany. It does all look increasingly suspekt. I couldn’t quite follow the issue of bunkers in the area.

          And, if they have these robotic loudspeakers, why didn’t they use them BEFORE the deadly flooding.

          Other segments of this session are worth watching. Mathew Ehret is interesting, but he can wander too much. Ilana Rachel Daniel was new to me. Vera Sharav (sp?) is very good on the role of the medical profession under the Third Reich, referencing the T4 program—the forerunner to the rest, which targeted German citizens who were considered “life unworthy of life.” Sequeing to the captures of the medical profession and public health agencies by Big Pharma and Big Philanthropy.

          She starts at ca. 4:00:00. The energy of Fuellmich and Fischer is amazing—these are long sessions, and Reiner is taking notes and then translating.

          If you are pressed for time, Dr. Victor Zelenko’s testimony is super=interesting and maybe most relevant to the understanding the corruption of the medical establishment and how that has played out during the corona panic (which is how I am now referring to the [pandemic]. He is the rabbi-looking fellow toward the end.

          • Islander July 22, 2021 at 11:42 pm #

            I must say I am finding Wolfgang Wodarg a bit annoying.

            He doesn’t seem to get the point that Zelenko is making about experiential medicine vs. clinical trials, and wastes a lot of time interrupting the session.

          • Night Owl July 23, 2021 at 3:41 am #

            Hi, Islander. Yes, Wodarg should have backed off a bit, but I understood his point. He pointing out that you need to have a double blind study to determine how useful HCQ is and at what point. That it has to be documented in a way that allows the medical community to compare it to other treatments.

            He was also pointing out that Zelenko did not identify how he knows the patients had “Covid,” given that the fraudulent PCR test is the only known method in use for determining such a thing.

            I was disappointed that Zelenko did not calmly explain his methods in response. He came across as very insecure. I do not doubt his sincerity though.

          • Islander July 23, 2021 at 8:32 am #

            NO, re Wodarg/Zelenko,
            I am perfectly aware of what Wodarg was saying, and it was directly counter to the point the Zelenko had actually opened with. Wodarg appeared tow ant to devalidate Zelenko’s medical practice re covid by posing, in a hostile tone, qulestions that no doctor could have answered last year. HOw many patients did Wodarg successfully treat for covid—however you want to label it—last year? Let’s have that figure.

            I htought it was Wodarg who came off as insecure, or zumindest completely unaware of the inappropriateness of his questioning. Not the *line of questioning*, but the rude and disruptive way he went about it.

            He presented himself from the get-go as skeptisch of Zelenko’s whole achievement and and naturally that put Zelenko on the defensive. I think Zelenko was absolutley correct to disallow Wodarg from verbally bullying him and reminding him who was the invited guest there. Furthermore Wodarg kept interrupting, his face was getting red, etc. Fuellmich saw this and translated very diplomatically. Frankly, I have noticed in earlier sessions that Wodarg has too much ego, and I think he may even be jealous of the ease with which Reiner goes back and forth between German and English and Reiner’s composure.

            Wodarg should have taken notes on the questions he wanted to pose, then waited until Zelenko was finished with his discussion in particular Z’s construction of his explanation regarding Remsdevir, which was methodical and easy to follow. At the end W should have asked, in a neutral and adult tone of voice withouit the huffing and puffing, about the issue diagnosis of covid, about the quesiton of two ways of gathering information about medical treatment, and then asked them in a neutral, fact=finding way.

            Since Z had gonen into this latter issue in some detail at the beginning of his presentation noe is left with the impression that Wodarg either did not understand what Z said, or that maybe Wodarg was not there ate the beginning of the session and missed Reiner’s translation into German.

            My respect for Wodarg has fallen. He needs some basic lessons in online conduct. Reiner was visibly annoyed, actually, and he and Viviane tried to make it all OK at the end of the session.

          • Night Owl July 23, 2021 at 8:51 am #

            Like I said, he was a bit too confrontational, but I also think it is a German thing. He was simply very direct about his points, and one of his points was very good — that being how did Zelenko know his patients had Covid? This question is problematic to this day. Covid has never been isolated in the traditional manner, and the only test used for detecting it is a fraud. I still have seen no credible evidence that it is anything other than seasonal flu rebranded.

            Zelenko means well, and is a valuable ally, but I think he could have toned it down and just acknowledged the points. They are both working toward the same goals.

          • Islander July 23, 2021 at 11:03 am #

            Re, “He was also pointing out that Zelenko did not identify how he knows the patients had “Covid,” given that the fraudulent PCR test is the only known method in use for determining such a thing.”

            Actually Z provided very specific info on the viruses he was talking about. He described the gene /sequences.

            Z also provided info on the peer-reviewed published paper he co-authored. Wodarg could have read this prior.

            I think it is established that there is no one symptom that differentiates the syndrome labeled covid-`19 from cold/flu. One could also saly there is no way to diagnose a cold because there is no one symptom that is only present with a cold. A cold is a suite of possible symptoms. Same with flu. Same with covid. But my understanding is that it is the progress of the disease and the direction it takes in serious cases, namely, with the inflammatory effects on multiple organs, that is a marker of how covid19 presents. In fact, one could say that the point of early medical intervention is to prevent the development of actual covid19. .

            Regarding “Typical German = ‘direct'” sorry, I don’t buy that. Reiner and Viviane and other Germans are to be seen in the sessions. They are also “typical German.” Wodarg has annoyed other viewers with his style. He needs video coaching.

    Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony director fired over old Holocaust skit

    Tokyo (AFP)
    The show director for the Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony has been fired over a decades-old comedy skit referencing the Holocaust, organisers said Thursday, in the latest blow for the pandemic-delayed Games.

    Kentaro Kobayashi made the comment in a video of the sketch dating from 1998 that emerged online on the eve of Friday’s ceremony.

    “It came to light that during a past performance, (he) used language that mocked a tragic fact of history,” Tokyo 2020 Olympic chief Seiko Hashimoto told reporters.

    In a statement, Kobayashi apologised.

    “In a video that was released in 1998 to introduce young comedians… a skit that I wrote contained lines that were extremely inappropriate,” he said.

    My wife will be taking Peter for a brain scan at 2 PM. I’m expecting they’ll discover that his skull contains a head of cauliflower.

    When family members try to call Peter’s cell he never answers. Normally the reason would be: the phone has no charge, the phone is in the other room, the phone is turned off, the volume is set to zero, etc. Helpful hints and reminders from me are useless and a waste of my breath.

    Then we discovered Peter hadn’t paid his bill and Verizon cut off his service. Peter pays most bills via a debit card but he can’t remember pin numbers, etc so the task falls to my wife. She paid $328 and after a while his service was restored. Now she must catch up on several other long-overdue bills ($1,600, $828 and God knows what others).

    This morning Peter came down from the third floor to the kitchen for a small breakfast and his AM compliment of meds (normally my wife would take these things up to him on a tray) but for whatever reason he came down. He entered the kitchen barefoot…this was a first. I asked “what’s with the bare feet?” He looked down at his feet somewhat surprised and said “I guess I forgot my shoes.”

    Surely everyone here has noticed that Black people, on average, have considerably larger buttocks than White folks. My b-i-l Peter is a perfect example of this phenomenon. If I told you Peter has NO ass you would say Q is exaggerating…he is using hyperbole. But I assure you his buttocks are virtually non-existent.

    Until recently when my wife got on his case Peter held up his pants with a belt but a belt just doesn’t work. More than once (and sometimes in public places) I have seen Peter’s pants literally drop to the floor around his ankles. The cure for this is suspenders so now we must make sure he remembers his suspenders.

        I mentioned the Fix-a-Flat butt-lift doctor earlier, but negligently didn’t include a link. Here ya go:

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP-hOyuzqTI

        The doc got 10 years in 2017, but being transgender, is probably back out on the streets and looking for work.

          Oh ok, I didn’t see your earlier post but yeah this is the story that made me think of the concrete lol. It is a sad story. But wild that people think being so misshapen is ideal. But then again it makes sense considering the entire cultural context and other body mythologies emanating from our wondrous and obligatory ministries of truth.

      I read yesterday about a woman whose thong was stuck on her daughter’s velcro sandal all day.

      • Blackbird July 22, 2021 at 10:44 pm #

        Was the daughter’s foot still in the sandal?

        • Yohannon July 22, 2021 at 11:12 pm #

          She walked around with it all day.

          • Blackbird July 22, 2021 at 11:30 pm #

            So the daughter’s foot was in the sandal, the sandal was stuck to mama’s thong (after the daughter kicked her in the ass?), in revenge, mama walked around dragging her daughter behind her all day.

            Ok, I can see it now. I can imagine the comments big mama got. Thanks

      Had an acquaintance from Dixieland say to me, “that girl over there is pretty cute, but she’s got no @ss… looks like a frog standin’ up”

      My decrepit Ex-Uncle Ray would say about a big bottomed women…
      “If she hauled ass, she would have to make two trips”.

    • Tate July 22, 2021 at 6:32 pm #

      I don’t have much of an ass either. I know the problem of keeping pants up when you lose a few pounds. My brother has a fat womanly ass. Used to kid him about it all the time.

      • Blackbird July 22, 2021 at 10:50 pm #

        Guys, let’s be honest with ourselves, the problem is not the absence of ass, but the excess of belly.

    Ann’s friend, Dr Beep, thinks it’s so that when the mass die off begins, people won’t know about it.

      Wow. Literally a rolling crime against humanity underway right now. Ann is right. Only that there is more. My guess is that they will simply take the internet down. It will be a mass “cyber attack”. And wow, they have been warning us we are so very vulnerable for a long time. Perfect timing. No conversations in person or online. They are that demon possessed that for them it all makes sense and is good in their eyes

      • Night Owl July 22, 2021 at 5:51 pm #

        You are aware that the WEF just ran their Cyber Polygon excercise?

        This is the next big threat (that they have created) according to Klaus and his Transhumanist friends.

        • SoftStarLight July 23, 2021 at 3:17 am #

          Yep I sure am and that is one reason I am thinking that the internet could potentially go offline. Anything seems possible in my mind given that meglomaniacal sociopaths and psychopaths control such a huge share of global resources and production and institutional and political capital too. That is what the eye and the pyramid on the dollar stands for.

    • MaryQueen July 22, 2021 at 5:27 pm #

      That monster of a woman should be one of the first to be strung up for crimes against humanity.

      I just saw a headline on the NYT:

      “Weary Nation Learns to Live with Covid”

      Really? Have TPTB decided that they have to dial this thing down now?

      Has the NYT gotten a message from somewhere? Maybe some political pushback that bodes ill?

      Or does “living with covid” mean “mask-vaxx rule forever”?

      • MaryQueen July 22, 2021 at 7:54 pm #

        I’m sure they have a new angle. These people are not giving up.

        • Night Owl July 23, 2021 at 3:34 am #

          There is more resistance than expected. The plan is the same everywhere at the macro level, with the same messaging and psychological tactics, but tailored to each country as required.

          Canada, Australia, and Israel have it the worst, as the have a very compliant citizenry, and Israel has, ofc, already had the green pass system. In Australia, they are now telling people they may no longer talk to one another in public. France is kind of an outlier, which I think is attributable to Macron, who is mentally unstable (claimed he would rule like Roman god Jupiter), a former Rothschild banker, and a major player in the roll-out.

          The mask is a necessary tool to keep a visual reminder of the hoax, and to seperate the individuals intelligent enough not to touch the Frankenshots.

          The latest episode of the Corona Ausschuss was on yesterday, BTW. They all seemed to have arrived at the conclusion that the MRNA shots are genocide, and there was a good segment on previous attempts at a Great Reset as well as the eugenics groups that have been involved in each and every event. Interesting also is that the Swine Flu was the original Covid Hoax, with the events that unfolded being very similar to the Covid Hoax. We are lucky Wolfgang Wodarg is still around, given his role in exposing the former.

          • chola3 July 23, 2021 at 5:24 am #

            Speaking from Asia, the above is correct.

            However, I believe they don’t yet have a firm plan on how to solve the resource/population mismatch.

            I made some calculation: US can handle feeding 500mn. India and China can handle about 1bn each.

            India China Bangladesh Japan are over the limit. Many countries can manage without the need for culling. Malaysia is borderline. Russia, Ukraine, Iran etc in fine shape.

            Thus lies the options and methods.

          • Islander July 23, 2021 at 8:42 am #

            Re Wodarg, yes, he can make a positive contribution. I just don’t think he handled himself very well yesterday. He could have made his point a lot better and we wouild have gotten a much more interesting discussion if he had waited to pose his question about the existence of a pandemic/the swine flu example. If he hadn’t ruffled Z’s feathers, the public would have gotten a more interesting dialogue on how Z, a provincial local doctor, reacted to the ill people he was seeing, and whether more people turned up “sick” because of the propaganda, or they were actually sick with something, regardless of whether there was a “pandemic” or not. then you also have to add in the factor of the testing regime and “casedemic.”

            Wodarg w/ Zelenko would have been a great way to explore th ese issues. But for the purposes of conducting such a dialogue Wodarg has to become less emotionally invested in his own experience and learn how to pose the leading qeustions clearly and succinctly and then to listen respectfully, not act like a petulant child.

    A great video on transhumanism, its ethics, its dangers, its weaponization.

      TS

      John D Rockefeller hung on to age 97, but Paul Allen, billionaire, went toes up at 63. Allen’s money didn’t help him much, and if there was ever a candidate for transhumanism, it was him.

      I knew of a few old Yankee farmers in town here who lived into their mid 90s.

      Remember the chapter in Swift’s ‘Gullivers Travels’, when Gulliver visits an island where people live forever, but upon landing, he finds that these ‘people’ are just a mass of slime slithering around on the floor. That’s how it will be with a 150 year old billionaire transhuman, thinking he’s Master of the Universe, until the maid flushes him down the toilet, or sweeps him up in the dustpan.

      Brh

        Paul helped Jimi Hendrix relatives to fight Reprise / Cayman Islands buisness where JH publishing was.
        He wanted to make the JH museum, now known as Hall of Fame.

          Well, two Seattle guys, it stands to reason.

      • tucsonspur July 22, 2021 at 9:14 pm #

        Brh,

        Yeah, Sean Parker actually says it, ‘I’m going to be like 160 and I’m going to be part of this class of immortal overlords.’

        Slime is right. With these people you really can’t dismiss depopulation conspiracies out of hand any longer. Keep enough slaves though.

        I can picture those old, grizzled, Yankee farmers, maybe with the big nose and ears, overalls and a pipe. Salt of the Earth.

          There are only a few thousand billionaires in the world. The Georgia Guidestones suggest the the desired world population is to be limited to 500 million people.

          • Night Owl July 23, 2021 at 3:45 am #

            Do you watch the Stiftung Corona Ausschuss meetings? They have had Malone, Yeadon, McCullough, and a host of others on, and they have arrived at the conclusion that depopulation/genocide is a major part of the agenda.

            Fuellmich remarked yesterday that if you had told him any of this a year ago he would have asked you to leave his office.

            Follow the evidence. 🙂

          • SoftStarLight July 23, 2021 at 4:08 am #

            Wow! No I haven’t had a chance to watch the sessions yet but that is amazing news. So glad this shift is finally happening. It felt like for so long most people believed people in power would never do things like this. Of course that would be amazing if true too. But it looks like our worst fears and suspicions are being confirmed.

          • Slugoon July 23, 2021 at 4:17 am #

            What’s the current consensus? Depopulation as a direct result of death from vaccines or indirectly through sterilisation of the youngsters?

        • benr July 23, 2021 at 9:33 am #

          @slugoon

          Don’t forget to add queer is the new cool.
          Two guys or two girls can’t have kids without help or adopting.
          That might back fire some as the nasty dyke man hating department head where I work has three turkey baster kids.
          Two girls and one boy.
          I feel sorry for the boy I seriously think he will be chopping off his junk in the next decade.

          Also remember China has done away with the one child policy they are now allowing three kids per couple.

    What has really fucked up this world is too many choices. Relax, kick back and have a beer.

    • SoftStarLight July 23, 2021 at 3:57 am #

      You’re on to something tom. The diminishing returns of what not and what have you. Everything is so pretty and flashy and mega expensive. Choice is the American way! But sometimes choice is destructive. Your philosophical drops are sort of like Q’s, afterthoughts and footnotes. Your exhortation of simplicity and his of the importance of structure and order. At least, these are the communications I am receiving.
