Beneath all the psychotic babble that sore besets the collective national hive-mind over a pandemic that comes and goes in waves, and phantoms of contrived identity animus, looms an economy that would collapse without gigantic IV infusions of “money” from the false god that our government has become. The collapse is working its way out in strange ways as we create ever stranger work-arounds for avoiding it — such as the unanswered “help wanted” signs while legions of unemployed adults cash government support checks.

Of course, a lot of those unanswered signs are for what used to be called shit-jobs, flipping burgers, bagging groceries, and such. For a lot of Americans, those are the only jobs. We can argue about whether the government ushered better-paying low-skill factory jobs offshore or whether other nations would have developed industries in the natural course of things (or a combo of both). But the end result is a country full of people who can barely support themselves, let alone a family, and the consequent loss of all the psychological infrastructure for a society that can respect itself.

With the spring zephyrs blowing, the great expectation rises for a return to “normal,” which seems to mainly consist of bustling restaurants, brisk car sales, and the construction of suburban houses. It’s not that these are the only things we can do in life, but they’re what the dynamics of the moment allow. Those dynamics include incentives, laws, regulations, habits, and customs.

The zoning laws and building codes allow only certain types of habitations, generally ones too expensive for people seeking to establish households, not to mention the social costs of building even more unsustainable suburbia based on the selling of ever more unaffordable cars. The work-around for that is official manipulation of the debt markets, artificially-low interest rates, and discarding the framework of creditworthiness. The unintended consequences include the inflation of house prices and exposure of house-buyers to greater fragility (risk) in foreclosure. Ultimately, backstopping the banks that hold the mortgages and their derivative securities keeps the whole dishonest shootin’ match going… until it stops.

One thing that will stop all of that will be the slow death of money, inflation, which is just now transforming from a distant specter on the horizon to a condition in the here-and-now. You will have plenty of money and that money will become increasingly worthless. The authorities probably think that’s better politically than the people having no money at all, but it’s really the same thing dragged out over time to fool everybody. Governments like it because it reduces the nominal cost of debt — except now the government debt-load is so supernaturally gigantic, really nothing will avail to fix that, and meanwhile they’re very busy making the debt situation worse by giving away as much newly borrowed money as the situation requires to maintain the illusion of a functioning economy.

Anyway, as the time-frame for inflation compresses, the people notice that their money won’t buy what they need, and they get restless, perhaps dangerously so. In the process, the government begins to look incompetent, on top of the usual perception that it is corrupt, and before you know it, legitimacy slips through the widening cracks of the floor. Until now, the authorities have been successful in pitting citizens against each other, and the ill-will unleashed has been spectacular. But the memes of “white supremacy” are so obviously dishonest that they’ve only succeeded in hugely pissing off the substantial demographic of white people who struggle desperately to remain employed, housed, mobile, and capable of raising children who are not being driven crazy.

The coronavirus situation is not so reassuring. We are one more serious up-wave of illness from tanking whatever remains of this vaporific economy. An emerging pattern suggests that higher vaccination rates might generate new-and-improved iterations of the disease more efficiently — just as the government tries more aggressively to sell vaccination to the public. The public is also noticing the alarming statistics, and many remain unconvinced that the vaccines are even vaccines in the usual sense, but rather insufficiently tested exotic experiments desperately employed against something that looks more and more like a bio-weapon that the government itself was complicit in creating.

My state of New York is supposedly “reopening” today. Who’s not longing to get back to “normal?” But who’s not a little anxious that mixing normally with other people won’t start the whole cycle all over again? And, anyway, who doesn’t wonder whether normal is really a thing of the past now, disappearing in the rear-view mirror?  Just as the hopeful meme floats over the Internet that the storm is over, we fail to see that there’s a larger storm of history whirling around us that we’re only in the eye of.

    As usual, James, you have illustrated the state we’re in very astutely and with flair.

    “…but rather insufficiently tested exotic experiments desperately employed against something that looks more and more like a bio-weapon that the government itself was complicit in creating”

    With all of the information on gain-of-function and Fauxi funding coming out, people are starting to see that much of this may have been engineered from the start – that’s a good thing, but we’re racing against time for a new wave in the fall, when naturally occurring flu and cold viruses meet the vaccinated with their new altered immune systems.

    “May you live in interesting times.” – my new most hated of all quotes.

    • Beryl of Oyl May 17, 2021 at 10:22 am #

      If it wasn’t created as a weapon, it is certainly being used as one.

      One thing no one is talking about- those vaccines are only legal to use if there is no safe and effective treatment for the disease.

      Potential treatments are still be suppressed and even forbidden.

      The last person I learned of in my area (except for some very young adult men who got over it in a breeze) who got sick with the virus went to the hospital when she started feeling unwell, and they sent her home with no treatment at all.

      Imagine knowing you have come down with what the media has been telling you all year has been killing hundreds of thousands of people, and then being turned away from a hospital?

      She has recovered, thankfully, but why is this still going on, at this point?

      It’s criminal.

      • MaryV May 17, 2021 at 10:32 am #

        It’s so beyond criminal on so many levels it’s hard for me to wrap my mind around, some days. We no longer have access to health care, and soon the government will be giving businesses the responsibility of carrying out medical apartheid by refusing to serve unjabbed customers. They have to do this because they know it’s illegal. It’s actually still illegal for businesses to do it, but hey, they’ve been getting away with it for 14 months, so now it’s normalized.

        One of the new liberal/Dem mantras is “private businesses get to make their own rules”. This is just as idiotic (and false) as “trust the science” or “I believe in science.” There are laws preventing businesses from discrimination. These have been patently ignored, as have the exemptions in mask mandates/orders.

        If we have no rule of law any more, we don’t have a functioning society. If we have medical apartheid, we have technofeudal serfdom, because those of us who refuse to allow them to alter our immune systems with experimental poison will be left to languish.

        I agree, however, with what Yohannon has said, that this opens the door fro opportunity for those brave enough to thumb their nose at the authoritarian dictates.

        Some businesses have refused to close or enforce masking because they know the law – and they keep winning. So, a slight silver lining… may more small businesses wake up and steal the unmasked, unjabbed customers from CostCo.

        • Beryl of Oyl May 17, 2021 at 10:36 am #

          Notice how much better the big corporations and large chains were able to weather the business closures and restrictions?

          A small restaurant or saloon can’t afford to open at lower capacity.

          • MaryV May 17, 2021 at 10:53 am #

            Yes. But now, they have an opportunity to attract people who refuse the jab, and don’t want to wear masks.

            Two business owners I’ve seen interviewed (among many) have reported their businesses grew in leaps and bounds when they refused to require masks or jabs.

            This could be a trend. Will they try to squash it? Yes, that is what they had in mind by intimidating them to close in the first place. The few that knew the laws were correct that it is illegal.

            One fiesty woman who owns a small restaurant in Philly said the AG guys come around regularly to harass her, one even pounding a table once and asking “Why won’t you COMPLY?” She said that she just laughed in his face. We need more people like her.

          • Blackbird May 17, 2021 at 12:18 pm #

            Big business will also be able to ignore lawsuits due to adverse reactions to “the jab” more effectively than small businesses.

          • Night Owl May 17, 2021 at 6:00 pm #

            The entire lockdown was designed to do just that: destroy the middle class. Destroy small businesses. Destroy anything outside of the Beast system.

            Most big chains and online shops stay open, and then the criminal class swoops in and buys up Mainstreet, all the farmland (Gates and Turner), etc.

            The populace is then ferried into a social-credit like system with a global ID (just like the one being prototyped in Europe), and if you don’t go along with the program, you don’t travel, shop, or work ever again. Here in Germany some Green polis were even talking about “Enteignung” for the middle class. That means disposession of property.

            They were going to own it all. That was the plan.

            Only problem is, they fucked up the vaxxx roll-out. And the resistance grows.

          • bluedog May 18, 2021 at 12:05 pm #

            Well this WAS your government, but it seems you didn’t want it as you played the party thing, anyone who may have changed things in your mind didn’t stand a chance because he wasn’t the favorite of the party scam.

            As old Abe said this government and its institutions belong to the people to change or abolish as they see fit, but of course the people never saw any reason to change or abolish it so now whine and moan about a government out of control.

        • O.G. Hawkins May 17, 2021 at 10:54 am #

          One of the new liberal/Dem mantras is “private businesses get to make their own rules”.

          Indeed. And brand spanking new.

          Why, I remember, back in the day, when lib/Dems forced bakery shops to do business that they did not want. This was way back when the once uncelebrated homosexuals went wedding cake shopping. They’ve performed a complete 180 vis-a-vis who makes the business rules around here.

          Perhaps they have no moral compass on business rules one way or the other. Perhaps they are full of shit and corruptly squeeze and form rules however they like (or are told) depending on the situation.

          Perhaps. Who knows?

          • Daddyotis May 17, 2021 at 1:45 pm #

            Perhaps this is the designed function of the Luciferians’ plan to shepherd in the false prophet and the antichrist.

            Honestly, give end times prophecy a read, and it all starts to make perfect sense.

            Isaiah 5:20

          • O.G. Hawkins May 17, 2021 at 4:21 pm #

            You are correct. I Just read Isaiah 5. Very fitting. Thank you. God bless!

          • MaryV May 17, 2021 at 8:03 pm #

            The TDS did it.

          • Redneck Liberal May 18, 2021 at 10:24 pm #

            Full of twisted misrepresentations, there O.G.

            It was 2018 (i.e. Trump Administration) and the “lib/Dems” that forced bakery shops to do business they did not want was in fact the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, which based its ruling on the grounds the Plaintiff’s had employed, namely First Amendment rights.

            In any case, the Supreme Court (U.S., not Colorado’s) overturned the initial ruling 7-2. Hardly a “lib/Dem” putsch.

            Here, read the truth & the facts for yourself.

            “Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, 584 U.S. ___ (2018), was a case in the Supreme Court of the United States that dealt with whether owners of public accommodations can refuse certain services based on the First Amendment claims of free speech and free exercise of religion, and therefore be granted an exemption from laws ensuring non-discrimination in public accommodations — in particular, by refusing to provide creative services, such as making a custom wedding cake for the marriage of a gay couple, on the basis of the owner’s religious beliefs.

            The case dealt with Masterpiece Cakeshop, a bakery in Lakewood, Colorado, which refused to provide a wedding cake to a gay couple based on the owner’s religious beliefs. The Colorado Civil Rights Commission, evaluating the case under the state’s anti-discrimination law, the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, found that the bakery had discriminated against the couple and issued specific orders for the bakery. Following appeals within the state that affirmed the Commission’s decision, the bakery took the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

            In a 7–2 decision, the Court ruled on narrow grounds that the Commission did not employ religious neutrality, violating Masterpiece owner Jack Phillips’ rights to free exercise, and reversed the Commission’s decision. The Court did not rule on the broader intersection of anti-discrimination laws, free exercise of religion, and freedom of speech, due to the complications of the Commission’s lack of religious neutrality.

          • O.G. Hawkins May 19, 2021 at 7:37 pm #

            I don’t give a rat’s ass about all that shit, RL. I did not even read it.

            Woke Left/Lib/Dem/Blue/Whatevs were all about bossing bizzes around then and now, today, the hypocrites are all about biz freedom. Bull shit. They flip flop like a fish on a dock based on the situation while, Really, they don’t give a shit about biz Rights one way or the other.

            And we all know it.

          • Redneck Liberal May 20, 2021 at 11:26 pm #

            “I don’t give a rat’s ass about all that shit, RL. I did not even read it

            Well, color me “surprised”!

            That open enquiring mind that only seeks truth and wants to share that truth (is, I think, how your self-promotional spiel goes) actually doesn’t “give a rat’s ass.”

        • SW May 17, 2021 at 11:00 am #

          I’ve said from the beginning of this pandemic, the government won’t have to issue a nation-wide vaccine passport b/c private businesses will do the dirty work for them. Six months ago I saw on the local news that some businesses in the area would require proof of vaccination before employees could return to work or apply for a job. There ya have it.

          Really good article today — the stock market continues to float heavenward (with a few tiny bumps down) as food prices, home prices and gasoline at the pump prices go up. Who is loaning us the 6 trillion to continue this fantasy?

            Both of my daughters work for the State of Minnesota. They’ve been working from home during this whole ordeal. They were informed that the state would start bringing people back to the office in July and would require they receive a full course of injections. A few day’s later, they were emailed that injections would not, after all, be required. Did some lawyer inform Walz that the state would be liable for any adverse reactions if they made it a requirement for employment?

          • Yohannon May 17, 2021 at 12:50 pm #

            Great angle: If you can’t sue Big Pharma, maybe you can sue those who made you take their poisons.

          • tully May 17, 2021 at 12:58 pm #

            Draupner, OSHA has indicated employers who mandate the vaccine can be held liable if their employee suffers ill effects.
            But how much effort would it take for the guidelines to be reconfigured to allow mandating vaccines?

            My concern is not much effort and time needed at all.

            The public’s lack of enthusiasm for the shots is starting the make the PTB very nervous. This means they probably will pull out some big sticks to beat the recalcitrant plebes into submission.

            We have not seen anything yet, is my suspicion. Things may get very nasty. Look at how apparently polarizing the CDC lifting the mask recommendations has been. One would think it would have been a gloriously happy day.

            Whole lotta folks ain’t happy right now. And the MSM is giving them plenty of coverage.

          • Hereward the Woke May 17, 2021 at 1:36 pm #

            Sorry, but employees who think it is legal for their boss to “force” them to have an experimental “vaccine” are pathetic. It takes 10 minutes on the internet to confirm this and there is nothing an employer can do without landing themselves in serious hot water. People really need to man up!

          • zizzybalooba May 18, 2021 at 4:18 pm #

            Quit complaining and move to a less liberal state. Where we live stores and restaurants don’t require masks. Gamblers have placed their bets: who will win, the unvaccinated or vaccinated? My money is on the vaccinated. The paranoia and fear of the vaccine is hilarious.

          Cognitive Dissonance

          In my home state(s) of Wyoming and Idaho the Deciders have come up with a new cognitive dissonance test to determine how effective the Pandemic Propaganda has been. The Governors have (rightly) declared that virus passports are illegal in their states. Yet all the airlines serving the two states require vaccine passports or fake PCR tests in order to board their planes.

          Vaccine passports are only granted to those who have submitted to the genetic modifications of their natural immune system that are the basis for the Pfizer/Moderna shots. Real vaccines like the Russian Sputnik V are not allowed.

          Individuals who have naturally strong immune systems or who have acquired immunity by overcoming the Corvid19 infections are not eligible for air travel passports. And the fact that “fully vaccinated’ individuals can still carry and transmit the disease is suppressed or ignored.

          Nobody cares that they have to ignore State Law or International Law in order to comply with the administrative requirements of a private transportation business.

          Success!

          “When the men on the chessboard
          Get up and tell you where to go

            There is this little thing called the Nuremberg code and those pushing this jab should probably look closer at it.

            The ten points of the Nuremberg Code
            The ten points of the code were given in the section of the judges’ verdict entitled “Permissible Medical Experiments”:[6]

            1).The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.

            2). The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.

            3). The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment.

            4). The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.

            5). No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.

            6).The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.

            7).Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.

            8).The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.

            9).During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.

            10).During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.

            How many of these have already been broken?

            Benr, I must have posted this about 15 times, but the international lawsuit being filed by the Stiftung Corona-Ausschuss here in Germany (and the planned Corona Court) is based on the Nuremberg code.

            Medical experimentation is a crime against humanity.

            In fairness the large-scale ‘Recovery’ trial has been testing potential treatments since the start of the pandemic, along with many others.

            https://pharmaceutical-journal.com/article/feature/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-covid-19-therapy-trials

            Not many medications actually showed themselves to be genuinely effective under clinical trial conditions (it was the UK Recovery group that found dexamethasone to be effective, which was then given to President Trump.

            And when they said ‘effective’ to great applause, they only meant that it helped about 20% of hospitalised Covid sufferers, from what I recall. In the field, that’s considered a breakthrough.

            It seems to me people are looking for magic.

            They are hardly neutral or uninterested now, are they? Things like Ivermectin are cheap and aren’t going to make them richer than Croesus.

            A key component of science is neutrality or objectivity. To sit down before the facts like a little child…..

          • GreenAlba May 17, 2021 at 1:15 pm #

            Dexamethasone costs peanuts.

            Aspirin is even cheaper and it’s looking good in trials.

            I had a heads up early on and have been taking a baby aspirin every day for 15 months. And was vindicated by the study (Maryland) that found people who’d been taking low-dose aspirin as a prophylactic were less likely to have a bad outcome if they were hospitalised.

            It’s an anti-inflammatory, an anti-coagulant, and it inhibits viral replication.

            Cheap as chips.

            It was obviously a trick on the Proles. Leave the EU but not really.

            In what way do you think we have not left the EU?

            Ask a Scottish or Devon fisherman whose livelihood has been destroyed because his market has disappeared overnight if he’s noticed we’ve left the EU. Or one of the many small and medium-sized export businesses who are also in crisis or collapsing because it’s impossible to comply with new rules-of-origin and suchlike. Or hauliers, who can’t afford to bring stuff in, when they can’t get a load to take back.

            I haven’t said anything about the damage that has been done, since it has actually happened. But I take umbrage at the suggestion we haven’t left.

            Have you actually been watching what’s happening in Northern Ireland? Or isn’t it interesting any more?

            I quite like your description of a mix of limp-wristed liberal and Oswald Mosley!

            He never had any principles, so he can be anything, I guess, if it keeps him PM. And I presume his new squeeze wants to stay in Downing St too.

            Yoyo:

            Boris famously wrote two op-eds prior to the referendum of 2015.

            One persuasively argued PRO-EU and the other, equally persuasive & passionate, was PRO-BREXIT. He’s a very Artful little Dodger, and very fair-minded – he always sees both sides of an issue…and then plumps for the one that will give him the greater advantage over time. He might have cocked this one up.

        There are groups of respected doctors and virologists in the US who have been clamoring for what the “standard treatment protocol” should be, especially for those sent home with their own devices.

        Chicken soup and 7-Up plus your immune system needs an assist on this one and right about now it looks like the bag of goodies being sent home with patients should include a one week supply of Ivermectin, a broad spectrum antibiotic, 10,000 u of D3/day, zinc, C and the turmeric supplement. Possibly also a prednisone dosepak for a week as an anti-inflammatory for the lungs.

        I am just some retired R.N. watching my seedlings popping up and I have cobbled together this protocol from doing a little research.

        Some concierge doctors in New Jersey etc. have created kits with the meds listed to order online.

        It appears that the best interests of the American people are NOT driving the medical establishment.

        Maybe all these doctors not pursuing the above protocol for their patients are just stupid cowards?

        The pattern of suppression of effective alternative treatments was necessary in order for Pfizer & Moderna to establish their position of market dominance in the CoronaBiz. And if you have legal immunity what are a few hundred thousand excess deaths along the way?

        When I mention yet another instance of suppression of alternatives most North American minds just clamp shut due to generations of propaganda, but here goes.

        90 miles south of the Florida Keys lies a rather large country with a population of over 11 million citizens. This Country That Shall Not be Named has been subject to continual economic warfare from the USA for an entire generation. Being in the tropics, it is prone to various tropical bacterial and viral diseases and as a result developed a viable home grown pharmaceutical industry. When Coronavirus was identified as a threat they took aggressive preventive and treatment measures including use of off the shelf anti-viral medicines that they had developed like their own invention. InterferonAlpha2.

        At the point in the Pandemic when Pfizer & Moderna were applying for and receiving Emergency Use Authorization for their shots based upon a “complete lack of effective alternatives” the Country That Shall Not be Named had suffered 37 deaths nationwide from the Corvid 19 virus. Meanwhile New York, with a smaller population, had put 70,000 people in the ground after inducing comas and shoving an intubator tube down their throats.

        Nothing to see here— move along.

        • Beryl of Oyl May 17, 2021 at 2:30 pm #

          To be fair, some of those deaths were from deliberately putting sick people back into nursing homes.

          Yes. If no other cures were available, then they couldn’t legally push the vaccine.

        The vaccines are issued via an Emergency Use Authorization. They are NOT FDA approved. An EUA is only legal so long as an available alternative is not acknowledged. $$$ Billions are at stake.

        https://trialsitenews.com/do-the-nih-and-who-covid-treatment-recommendations-need-to-be-fixed/

        Examples of how a NEUTRAL/NEGATIVE rating are interpreted are quite stunning: Holland will fine doctors 150,000 Euros for prescribing ivermectin. Australia will put doctors in jail for prescribing ivermectin. Pharmacies in the US will refuse to fill your ivermectin prescription by saying it is unavailable. If you talk about Ivermectin or HCQ as a treatment for COVID on YouTube, that is a violation of the YouTube Guidelines and doctors have had their videos removed, their channels frozen, and their existing videos demonetized. If you mention that these drugs work against COVID, Medium will revoke your account for life and remove all your content.

        Ivermectin has been a wildly successful drug for decades as an anti-viral drug and for various off label uses. Ivermectin is readily available around the world, used by millions daily with minimal side effects and is available at a very cheap price.

        Ivermectin won the Nobel Prize in 2015. It’s effectiveness for off label use as an early at-home treatment for Covid is well understood and proven by many doctors, studies and organizations around the world. The corrupt Liberal fake news is why this information is suppressed.

      Authored by Birsen Filip via The Mises Institute,

      Vaccine passports have been implemented, or are being developed, in a number of countries around the world. In February 2021, Israel introduced its “Green Pass,” which becomes “effective the week after receiving the second dose” of the vaccine and expires after six months. It was followed by China, which launched its digital “International Travel Health Certificate” in March. Subsequently, in April, Denmark implemented its “Coronapas” and Estonia introduced its “VaccineGuard.” Although the United States government recently dismissed the idea of a national vaccine passport, the state of New York has already launched its own “Excelsior Pass,” and several other states are developing similar programs, whereas South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Florida, Texas and Arizona have banned the use of COVID-19 immunity passports within their borders. Other countries have also announced their intentions to launch vaccine passports in the near future, including: the United Kingdom, which will be using an NHS (National Health Service) phone app as its COVID-19 vaccine passport starting on May 17th; and, the European Union, which is planning to “facilitate free movement inside the EU” with its “Digital Green Certificate” as of June.

          Someone I know who was crowing about the wonders of all the things his Excelsior Pass will allow him to do, was also puzzling over why it’s only good for 30 days.

          For those who don’t know, Andrew Cuomo has had all the toll booths for the NYS Thruway ripped out, and gone to all spy cameras.

            Excelsior:

            In 1778 the state of New York adopted a coat of arms incorporating the motto “Excelsior,” Latin for “Higher.” Decades later, the motto sparked the imagination of the young Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and in 1842 he used it as the title of an allegorical poem of doomed idealism.

            Yoho: Ever upward! A brass bell. Fatuous. Thirty days. Do something wrong or not get your booster and you’re stranded at home, or fucked, flustered, and far from home. Doomed idealism indeed.

        I wonder how folks like me will be treated?

        I am exempt from these vaccines because I bruise easily. There are many others who have legitimate exemptions like those with lupus etc. All these exemptions are listed on the various inserts.

        Psst…even if I had no legitimate exemption I wouldn’t take the jab.

        Considering that these jabs are only approved by the FDA as “emergency experimentals” (which means those who consent and receive them are being entered into a world-wide clinical trial that should have taken 10-15 YEARS to complete), I seriously do not understand how any American can lose their Constitutional right to move about freely and unmasked because they can’t produce their “acceptable” papers.

        • Beryl of Oyl May 17, 2021 at 1:39 pm #

          You can’t. That’s why they are trying to make life as miserable as possible for those who don’t just comply.

          So much easier to demand papers if people already qualify.

          Look at all the tooth-pulling it took to get the CDC to admit that you didn’t need to keep that mask on after you were vaccinated.

          They couldn’t have people walking around barefaced, it would ruin the plan.

          Now they are going to try hectoring people into agreeing to the shot.

          If everyone has been afforded the opportunity to get vaccinated, there is no reason to try to push them on anyone not wanting to.

          2- The Homeland Insecurity State, brought to you by the Supreme Machiavellian Dick Cheney on the back of the Twin Towers false flag charade.
          3- The Worldwide Pandemic Fear Campaign: —Everybody is an individual digital device. Software is interchangeable on command. Delusion is the Opium of the People
          4- The Mandatory Genetic Intervention brought to you by PsycoBill and his eugenics population control dream.

      Good morning, Mary. It is fitting that you were first on CFN after Mr Kunstler’s always-entertaining and -informative read.

      I said it before, I’ll say it again:

      You have performed admirable yeoman work bringing us information, anslysis, Wisdom and laughter during this most-critical of times.

      I can’t help but think that there is a feedback loop and that your diligent research is, at least in part, why JHK published such bold statements this morning.

      Of course, it is True. Gates/Faucci are evil and will be written as mankind’s saviours who “did what needed to be done and finally solved over-population once and for all.” Or at least would be written up in history that way if it weren’t for this whole Apocalypse Really Now thing.

        I see the present as a desperate fight for the future of humanity, and so I like to point out the threats we face.

        Thank you also, O.G. for being a tireless advocate for TRUTH esp. with regards to That Tuesday.

      Unfortunately, the BS around Covid19 and the virus behind flies from all sides. This is not a bioweapon, unless the Chinese leadership, on the eve of overtaking the dying American behemoth, has gone completely insane. It didn’t. The virus was most likely Wuhan- engineered bug that was to serve as a testbed for “platform corona antivirals” but escaped before any therapeutics were available. From what the data that emerged unspoiled by propaganda, it is crystal clear that China was completely unprepared for the outbreak, locally and nationally. On the other hand, the stupid WHO-sponsored “investigation” into the origin of the virus backfired spectacularly, and it now looks like the majority of specialists no longer take the “natural emergence” seriously.
      As for the vaccine, the “anti-vaxxer” propaganda is stupid and ignorant, way more so, than the BS from the other side. Four thousand Americans died after getting the shot. Tucker Carlson came on with an idiotic blabber, that the deaths were “caused” by the shots forgetting that people die all the time and that the number in the VAERS statistic, in no way guarantee any correlation between the jab and death. This is the guy who complains nightly that getting vaccines at “warp speed” was Trump’s idea and that he doesn’t get credit for it. And what about other countries with high percentage of vaxxed folks, like Israel and Britain that are coping with the variants much better than, say, India? Is the vax drive going to succeed in getting finally relief from the Covid-19 insanity? We don’t know but it is a better hope than covering ourselves in cow dung, as the Hindu witch doctors recommend. The only way to find out whether the vaccines are a way to personal and herd immunity is to get vaxxed. So to me it is a no-brainer.

            For some reason they don’t seem at all interested in the concept of natural immunity and neither have I’ve heard much about antibody testing although I believe it can be done.

            That would be my plan, just catch the damn thing and be done with it. If it kills me, at least it was my choice but the statistics are on my side.

        My personal view is that the Corvid virus is indeed a pathogen engineered as a Bio-weapon. The inclusion of a furrin release mechanism (which no bat viruses posses) making it easier to attach to human ACE2 protein receptors is but one telltale piece of evidence. Corvid just escaped into the human population before it was a finished product. Hence its very low success rate more akin to the ordinary flu than to the Spanish flu.

        Now who built it? The most obvious candidate is the Communist Party of China, using in part $600 million in funding by Gates and Fauci who supported it for their own ends. But one should not discount the America Biological Warfare Department at Ft Dietrich who spent decades searching for a selective bio-weapon and ended up sub-contracting basic research to the Wuhan Laboratory. . Actually when submitted to the Means/Motive/Opportunity test an American origin rises to the top of probability.

      There’s bound to be blowback from the chaos in the Middle East to compound to our domestic problems. Iran and its’ proxies in that part of the world are waging a very effective campaign to destabilize Israel with an all out offensive that will sacrifice thousands of lives, mostly Palestinian, to further their own propaganda campaign against Israel in the world press. The net effect of this is to force world opinion into questioning Israel’s right to exist while painting her allies as aiding and abetting the so-called genocide against Palestinians. As the fighting drags on Israel becomes more isolated while Iran becomes bolder in its’ actions using the conflict as cover to wage deadly cyber attacks against critical American infrastructure that have the potential to end all civilized life over here.

      • abbybwood May 17, 2021 at 1:53 pm #

        Or maybe Israel could just drop the “We are a democratic Jewish state” thang and just be democratic and create one state where everyone gets a vote. Right now Israel is a theocracy not a democracy.

        Hand all the post 1967 settlements over to Palestinians and see what happens?

        There are already a few Arab Israelis in the Knesset. What harm will come in a free non-religious democracy?

        Israel doesn’t want to be “democratic” unless only Jewish voters are allowed to vote.

        Every four years or so Israel authorities have stated “it is time to mow the lawn again”. Netanyahu was on the verge of being thrown to the curb with a no-confidence vote but “mowing the lawn” again seemed to be a great distraction to keep him in power. Plus the mowing was over-due.

        Naturally the US is forcing the UN to not take up any meaningful discussions on how to fix the Israeli/Palestinian problem in a democratic way.

        Google Israel mowing the lawn and you will understand.

        As to Iran hating the US and Israel, Iran had a democratically elected leader in the 1950’s, Mossedegh, and he started nationalizing their oil wealth away from big oil. The CIA overthrew Mossedegh and installed the blood-thirsty Shah with his terrorist Savak police force. The people threw the Shah out and sent his ass back to the US and installed Khomeini and a theocracy.

        For those who studied just a bit of history from 1948 on up they will immediately understand why Iran isn’t eager to make nicey-nice with the US or it’s main ally in the Middle East, Israel.

        These are just the cold, hard facts.

        • Trean May 17, 2021 at 3:22 pm #

          Even the briefest of research shows that there are nearly 6 million eligible voters over 18 in Israel. Of these, 80 percent are Jewish, 15 percent are Arab (Muslims, Druze or Christians), and 5 percent are defined as “others,” according to the Central Bureau of Statistics. Ergo there are 1.25 million non Jewish voters. Non Jewish and secular parties occupy 27 seats out of 120. Quite a chunk considering the majority party only actually holds 30 seats. Israel seems to have more political parties than most of Europe combined!
          So it beggars the question, are you ignorant of the facts or just lying?

        • Uncle Abraham May 17, 2021 at 3:42 pm #

          Cold hard facts? Hardly – those are talking points for Hamas, the PLO, and all useful idiots serving Muhammad’s quest for world subjugation.

          • Socrates-Detroit May 17, 2021 at 11:02 pm #

            Uncle Abrahame, Rather than diss Abbywood’s comment, why not spend 5-10 minutes and refute the points you don’t agree with–which you cannot refute, and which Abbywood cannot prove, and then clearly state which of her points are factually incorrect or untrue.

            Guess what? The CIA actually DID overthrow Mossadegh, and put the (sleazy, spoiled brat) Shah in charge, and he was pliable for Anglo(-American) oil interests. For twenty years. Then, in 1973, he led the charge to QUADRUPLE oil price.

            The Shah’s regime killed several and tortured thousands. That’s a fact. So reviled was he that Islamic fundamentalists harnessed the discontent to take power.

            Like all politicians/leaders, they will do anything they can to keep it.

            Today, Israel has not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel has nukes.

            Do you really think that subjugated Palestinians are treated decently? If they were treated well, there probably would still be a ‘terrorism’ problem–but perhaps it would be less.

            By the same token, the Arab leaders, and even Iran (a non-Arab country), probably don’t care about the Palestinians–but it’s a useful rallying cry.

            Also, the US shot down an Iranian airliner, killing 260 people.

            Israel attacked the USS Liberty in 1968, killing 32 sailors and nearly sinking the ship, injuring another 100-something. LBJ kept it quiet because the Jewish vote mattered more to him than GIs–and after all, they were dying at rate of a couple hundred a week in Vietnam.

            The US has overthrown leaders it didn’t like–Libya, Iraq–but never in any countries with nukes, like Pakistan or India. So the lesson learned it, “get nukes to keep your throne”

            Those are facts my friend.

            Soon we will be broke, and our ‘rich man’s military’ may become severely limited due to…. lack of money.

            I’m not saying Iran is our friend. And neither is Israel. And neither is Saudi Arabia–talk about bad—YUK!. But if America wasn’t so antagonistic toward Iran–well guess what, many Iranians LIKE a lot about America, and we might have better relations. Iranians are not Arabs. They are heirs to an ancient civilization that threatened ancient Greece and defeated Babylon.

            Nations have interests, some of which are core interests and will be pursued by Leader A or Leader B–by the left or right.

            Other “interests” don’t necessarily reflect the best interest of the general public, but they are important to the leadership, to perpetuate their control.

            When Nation Leader/Govt 1 and Nation/Leader Govt 2 have interests that coincide, they tend to be friends.

            Abbywood had a lot of good points.

            I read somewhere (maybe here) that an American negotiator told his Taliban counterpart the US was concerned about the ‘future of women’ in Afghanistan. The Taliban man assured him, “we will treat them no worse than your friends the Saudis”

            But all of that is getting more moot by the day.

            The point that kicked off this tangent was short and essentially correct–the latest round of chaos, regardless of who “started” it or is “at fault” will be used to obfuscate the situation here and crowd out other news in general, and in particular the truths that get a hearing in this space, even as they are deliberately ignored by the MSM (though villifying Iran and making Israel the righteous party is an oversimplification and distortion, IMO. But it’s also somewhat irrelevant to what’s happening in my city, state, and country).

          Thank you for that post. Mr. Churchill was recruited by big oil to convince President Truman to help overthrow Mossedegh. President Truman asked his advisors, and the advice was it was a national movement and we should befriend them and have a future democratic ally in the future. Truman left the white house, IKE came to power and the oil guys were in the white house and started this mess we are in today.

          At least the non-Jewish citizens of Israel have the option of voting for political parties that represent their interests instead of forced to choose between parties that completely ignore them and don’t even have the courtesy of paying them lip service like the non-francophone population of Quebec, Does the government of Israel enforce a strict non-religious dress code for non-Jews in all its’ public institutions like Quebec? Does it ban the use of all languages except Hebrew workplaces and schools like Quebec? Does Israel demand that Western governments fire each and every critic of its’ policies in academia like Quebec? Or how about restricting free speech to prevent anyone from offending the fatherland again like Quebec?

      The China Flu hysteria will only be over when enough people decide it’s over. And stop the goddamn testing! The PCR for Wuflu is set at 40 cycles instead of the usual 25-30, which guarantees that most of the “cases” the MSM loves to vaporize about are false positives or asymptomatic. No more testing; no more China flu.

        Florida should start some Trade-Tech schools to create meaningful high paying jobs.

        Everyone knows about the heart surgeon who is throwing a New Years Eve bash when his guest room toilet gets plugged a few hours before the party.

        The plumber comes and fixes the toilet in 15 minutes and hands the big shot a bill for $500. The doc says, “$500! For 15 minutes work?! I am a surgeon and I don’t make that kind of money!”

        And the plumber says, “Right. But I knew how to fix the toilet and you didn’t.”

      Well, I liked the wrapup:
      “Just as the hopeful meme floats over the Internet that the storm is over, we fail to see that there’s is a larger storm of history whirling around us that we’re only in the eye of.”

      Despite ending with preposition!
      That could have been avoided:

      “. . . storm of history whirling around us in whose eye we are.”

      But the image is striking.
      Except that we are not feeling a sense of calm as one does when in the real eye of a hurricane, as I recall from my childhood. Hurricane Carol found me at a friend’s house. Then the eye of the storm passed over us, we all ran out in the yard, and I, ca 8 years old, started for home (a half-mile walk down a woods road). Mrs. Merry ran after me and dragged me back to the house, and in a few minutes the winds were back up to 100mph. Maybe we think we have succeeded in surviving the flames, but it was just a brushfire. The Big One is raging just over the next hill . . .

      • SW May 17, 2021 at 12:35 pm #

        When The Big One hits our next generation may not be educated well enough to understand the implications. The latest from the U of California:

        “The 10-campus system, which has more than 280,000 students statewide, decided not to continue fighting a judge’s injunction issued last fall that barred it from considering the scores for admission even when they were submitted voluntarily, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

        FairTest, a Massachusetts-based nonprofit group that is generally opposed to standardized testing, announced last month that more than 1,400 accredited colleges and universities that grant bachelor’s degrees won’t require students applying for fall 2022 admission to submit test scores. That is more than 60 percent of the undergraduate institutions in the United States, the group said.”

        Here’s the article —

    Until now, the governor and legislators committed to paying landlords 80% of what they were owed by COVID-19 impacted renters, although this has only covered back rent owed between April 2020 and March 2021. Under prior legislation, owners have been required to forgive 20 percent of the rent owed to qualify for the assistance.

      This lines up with today’s JHK essay.

      How many leaks in the dam, how many moles can be whacked before the resources run out. That is the eventual ending. It IS a Ponzi scheme, as the needs expand the money cannot keep up. Ponzi schemes ALWAYS fail as resources are limited and eventually run out.

      Socialism is a Ponzi scheme, period. It never produces output, revenue, and absorbs more and more resources as the need expands for bailouts. Gimme attitudes are contagious and ever expanding and no government in history has figured out how to offset the drain. That is why socialism ALWAYS fails.

      What promotes gimme-ism? Whorish governments trying to buy off the mob or trying to buy votes in a Democratic style. That is what is happening right now to pull down the USA.

      The people of America could not have elected a more stupid, ineffectual and enabling government if it has designed it. The Democrats are infinitely guilty of enabling everyone, every group with the Gimme attitude. With the ascent of the Uniparty comes the end of the Constitution and its power control. The US economy is right behind it.

      A huge dislocation is going to happen, it is already underway. The White, and parts of the other groups are looking for alternatives to this insane asylum. Right now it is escape from Blue areas to Red areas that is the vanguard. A very small group of expats are leaving the country, also. Both emigration trends are growing. Leaving Blue zones for Red is already showing signs of not working as Red areas turn purple then Blue. Of course in the South and Southwest, immigration, especially illegal, increases the rate of color change. AZ and GA both are about to switch.

      Soon, people are going to spend time trying to figure out where to go, how to escape the enveloping Uniparty advancement. The conservative patriotic side is shrinking and leaving. As the number of Red areas declines, escape may become the only way to cope. Which of course advances the Blue Tide even more.

      The real secret here though is when the Right leaves, and the Blues take over, there will be little left for the folks left behind. If the Carteresque government we are witnessing right now is any indication of what is coming, who cares what is left.

        JohnAZ,

        Here’s one issue we can debate in the future as we sit around the camp fires in Mad Max World. Was our civilization destroyed by stupidity, greed, or design?

        People understand stupidity and greed, and most will opt for that explanation. Certainly most Elitists function under those guiding principles.

        But I suspect a handful of people serving the Tower of Doom understand the dark agenda slipped into our drink like a date rape drug. One has to almost admire the skill and subtlety by which THEY induced us to self-destruct.

        THEY being beyond human.

        • KappaJoe May 17, 2021 at 4:27 pm #

          Usually, the question is posed as “stupid or evil”. Greed is either a form of stupidity by default or evil by design.

          However, it is not necessarily a binary choice. When it comes to the Deep State, they are both evil and stupid.

          True, their machinations have worked well for them when times were simpler, but the advancements in communications and technology have left a thousand threads exposed, potentially bringing their entire body of stupid, evil plans to less than naught. For this reason, it is stupid to be evil and evil to be (willfully) stupid.

          Yet evil apparently has its own logic, which is hard to fathom from outside their conspiring. Perhaps, like the stupid evil of the scorpion that kills the frog that agreed to help the scorpion across the river while in mid-stream, it’s inherently “in their nature” to despoil all that sustains them, even unto their own demise.

            In my Eastern spiritual practice we were taught to accept the reality of “hostile forces”, whose unique objective it seems is to stymie, injure and bring sorrow to humans. I can attest to this, as puzzling as it might seem (What’s their angle? Where’s the profit?)

            It seems like they feed off the very meanness of their acts.

            1961: In Austin, at the “Ghetto”, I picked up a .22 caliber pistol, laying on a side table. It was the size of a toy. I playfully held it to my head, and could feel this powerful urge, in the form of a communication not originating from within my own being, to pull the trigger.

            Of course it was loaded.

    It seems that once you get past barter, e.g. I’ll trade you one of my goats for a bushel of your wheat, commerce becomes an abstraction. Beyond this-for-that exchange, has the economy ever really been anything more than a contrived illusion? If I’m correct that money is just a marker for receiving goods or services in the future, we’ve all had to agree about what has value. As long as we all agree that a financial derivative product has value, is this any different that agreeing a bar of gold has intrinsic value? I wonder how our current predicament is any more precarious than in the past.

    • feralandroid May 17, 2021 at 10:51 am #

      There are many differences between gold and fiat. Two of the most important are gold is a claim and store on past work, not future. And there is no counterparty risk.

      • James Kuehl May 17, 2021 at 11:07 am #

        Quite right. But doesn’t any agreement that something has intrinsic value demand that we agree on an illusion? Gold was a bad example on my part because it has industrial and decorative uses.

          Gold is finite. Even rare. All the gold mined and purified in mankind’s history would not fill an Olympic Swimming pool.

          Gold cannot be physically destroyed as it is a Basic Element.

          Gold is everything one wants money to be. Fiat? Not so much.

          Gold is the perfect store of value. Inflation proof throughout mankind’s history. In fact, a one ounce gold coin has always had the purchase power of a top-notch tailored man’s suit. For millennia.

          • Wizard of the Saddle May 20, 2021 at 3:39 pm #

            I normally try not to quibble, but the figure I hear quoted most frequently is that all the gold ever mined would fill about 2 Olympic sized pools. Still vey rare, nonetheless. Good points about gold.

        • hmuller May 17, 2021 at 12:22 pm #

          Mr Kuehl,
          I assume you’re comparing gold to some form of fiat (even private crypto-currency) and assuming the authorities who manage that currency will have the self discipline to limit the supply. (Please, don’t tell me Bitcoin et al. have a limited supply; there is no limit on how many different crypto-currencies can be created. There are now hundreds.)

          History shows the managers eventually give in to the temptation to print more money than they should – OR – In earlier times debase the silver and gold coinage with more base metal.

          You are correct, gold and silver do not have “intrinsic value” whatever that means. An ancient philosopher even wondered why they are valued above water – which does have a life giving value. In ancient Babylon government workers were paid with clay tablets redeemable for grain at the govt.warehouse. Bread has intrinsic value.

          Here’s my opinion based on history. Ancient people placed value on shiny jewelry. Unlike grain, gold and silver did not spoil; they made a better storage medium for wealth. Once you solve the problem of weight and purity, gold is fungible with all other gold (unlike unique pieces of jewelry). Bars and later coins were compact wealth which could be carried great distances and traded for whatever you wanted.

          Finally, a precious metal bar like a table or plough required human labor to produce. In this way It’s value differs from a fiat note. And gold is much rarer than tin, so labor and rarity both figure into the valuation.

          Chinese emperors starting issuing “paper money” around 800 AD. But these were in fact warehouse receipts for a weight of silver. (The Chinese thought gold too sacred and valuable to be used as money; it adorned the top people and was used in objects of art) Whenever people realized there was not enough silver to back the notes, “a bank run” followed. The Chinese financial system was reset dozens of times; always with the promise to never again abuse the license to print money. LOL

    • beantownbill. May 17, 2021 at 10:52 am #

      Where I differ from your analysis is that money should be a marker for goods and services in the present or very near future, not for those in the indeterminate future. Once we started using money based on future economic benefits, we began a slide to where we are today. That’s called gambling. As a gambler myself, I know gambling is habit-forming. The US population has become addicted to gambling.The problem with such economic gambling is that the gamble has to pay off, and often it doesn’t.

        Well if it isn’t the beantownshill.

        I am still waiting for you to reply. Since you came out strongly against my Right to Free Speech, I have asked you:

        1) Since you have decreed that that Tuesday that irrevocably changed Western Civilization almost 20 years ago is not to be discussed here on CFN, have you a list of approved topics that we may discuss? If not, is it Just that Western Civilization-changing Tuesday or have you decreed other topics to also be verboten while we exercise our Free Speech?

        2) Hypothetically speaking, would you be for or against US Congress Critters being forced to swear an oath to a foreign country?

        3) We all know that Hitler genocided 6 million Jews. One would’ve had to live in an Afghan cave to … well … anyway … 6 mil. 6 mil. 6 mil. but how many people did Hitler genocide?

        You may be able to crush my Right to Free Speech, Shill, but I will “go down swinging.”

            Don’t make me the bad guy under such Gestapo tactics regardless of how futile.

            Shill got all bent out of shape vis-a-vis my holding all nations accountable so, ok, Shill, answer my questions so that we may further our differences in this Open Forum of Free Speech.

          • Slugoon May 18, 2021 at 7:46 am #

            He wasn’t lobbying for anything of the sort. There’s a difference between free speech and getting on people’s nerves. You brought it up in twenty separate comments a week ago and have done so many other times before and since.

            When I disagreed with you and Night Owl that it was perfectly possible for someone to hit a Tower or the Pentagon this is what I got back:

          O.G.
          Are you familiar with David Icke’s book, “The Trigger”? It’s 875 pages examining the events of 9-11. I’m not saying every word in there is true or not true. But the “normy crowd” who attack us “conspiracy theorists” should perhaps educate themselves as to the facts; (something I have yet to see them do).

          That said, there’s not much point in banging the 9-11 drum in this forum. The events are very complex and not well served by sound bite bloggery. But do as you see fit.

          • O.G. Hawkins May 17, 2021 at 4:40 pm #

            Thank you, hmuller. No, I never read David Icke much. He’s not my cup of tea but, as several of us know, the official story is explosion-proof paper passports, in-your-face bull shit.

            I used it for a litmus test. If people must believe that 3 skyscrapers were pulverized by 2 airplanes 1 Tuesday then they have zero credibility when it comes to Science.

            You are correct, there is no sense hammering any longer but I will refer to it for this simple credibility assessment.

            GA hates that she lost all her Science credibility in a week. Normal reaction, I’d say.

          • GreenAlba May 18, 2021 at 1:36 pm #

            “GA hates that she lost all her Science credibility in a week. Normal reaction, I’d say.”

            GA doesn’t give a flying one that she supposedly lost her science credibility in a week, according to one arrogant person who considers himself judge and jury on any subject of his choosing.

            TFTFY

            GA doesn’t actually consider herself to have any particular scientific credibility, since she studied humanities post-school. She nevertheless is capable of reading, like everyone else.

            Although she studied maths, chemistry, physics and biology at school, she works on the assumption that most other people did too.

            She has also demolished Mr Hawkin’s silly premise several times. But he remains attached to his self-flattering comfort blanky.

          She said she wished for the deaths of more as she put it, “old white males”. I feel the exact same way about jews.

          but can you imagine what would happen if a white male were to say anything even mildly negative about jewish folks? he’d be run out of tv. lose his job, etc..
          Bette Midler also said she wanted to kill every kid that didn’t get vaccinated.

            Criticism of Israeli policy &/or actions is Anti-Semitic. Same with ADL, AIPAC, Larry King, you name it.

    • Not_GeorgeT May 17, 2021 at 11:13 am #

      J Kuelh, although I can see the thought process, I’m not of the opinion placing financial derivative products in the same place as gold works very well..

      Gold has a 5K year history. It represents a store of value. It is a store of the energy used to produce its useable form, expended mining and refining the ore.

      There is no counterparty risk.

      The financial derivative products are agreed on as being valuable today. Perhaps not so tomorrow, which seems to be part of what you are positing. I’m on board with this part.

      Saying Federal Reserve Notes are agreed at present as representing some sort of value is, to me, a way of expressing the concept.

      There is little relationship (if any) between FRN and gold. FRN have a lot more in common with said financial derivative products.

      Hypthecation and rehypothecation both say a lot about the durability of financial derivatives.

      Wave the magician’s wand.

      What do you think?

      • James Kuehl May 17, 2021 at 11:33 am #

        Grateful for your insight on this, Not George T. As I replied above, gold is a poor comparison on my part for the reasons you state. What I’m struggling to understand is whether we are in a more precarious place than ever before, or if the hyper-complexity of our present financial arrangements are just an extension of the same old trap.

        • O.G. Hawkins May 17, 2021 at 12:03 pm #

          We are at a watershed moment of precariousness, James.

That will make surviving what is probably coming that much harder. BTW, if you check the NYSE, you’ll find it’s now FOUR goats for a bushel of goats.

    The corona virus is a tool. It’s uses are varied, as you can see, it has been quite effective with respect to making the masses afraid. It has been quite effective with respect to altering the masses behavior in terms of the mask, but also in terms of the ‘grass roots’ style of consensus building, where neighbor speaks to neighbor, or when relatives gather and school the young ones. The corrupt and culpable media and news organizations co-opted that role and have amplified the fear and the outrage within the left’s echo chambers to the point where they are now ready to cancel anyone who disagrees with them and their science. Including many brilliant virologists and other scientists who do not wield a leftist megaphone.

    The vaccine is not, as some argue ad-nauseum, a bio-weapon in it’s own right. It is dangerous, it is experimental, it is gene-therapy, it is all those things including all the unknowns that go along with human experimentation. The vaccine is has been accepted by the weak and the afraid. By those who accept the word of the government as gospel. They are eager to commit this ‘act-of-faith’ and unabashedly proselytize for this false god.

    The vaccine is intended to protect these acolytes from the NEXT release of the bio-weapon. The unvaccinated is comprised of the free-thinkers, the conservatives, those who refuse to bend the knee. The left has already gas-lighted their constituency to accept the mass killing of the unvaccinated as a natural consequence of ignoring ‘their’ science. In a grand, ‘we told you so’ moment, they will unleash their ‘mutated’ virus and put an end to the opposition, thus closing the shackle on their captive populations.

    The funny part is that they have no idea what their doing from the ‘science’ end of things, as MRNA manipulation in the human population, at scale, has NEVER been observed.

They will jettison all the fine values and principles which they have been loudly boasting about all their lives merely to avoid the slightest chance of public criticism, inconvenience or even minor financial loss. “THE OBEDIENT ALWAYS THINK OF THEMSELVES AS VIRTUOUS RATHER THAN COWARDLY” – Robert Anton Wilson

        And too many view obedience itself as the primary virtue. Really, I would say most people consider it proof of good citizenship to support any and every law or regulation that restrains or prohibits individual free agency; if it stops people from doing what they want, or what is in their best interests, it is automatically good.

        • Hereward the Woke May 17, 2021 at 1:44 pm #

          Anthea. Whenever people tell me I am a citizen, I tell them that I am not. I’m an individual. A citizen obey the laws of his society AND accepts the values of that society. An individual obeys the laws that are reasonable and fair and accepts only those societal values that he agrees with. Citizens are sheep.

      Just my opinion, but the sheep are always led to slaughter. “The free-thinkers and those that refuse to bend the knee, by sheer will & courage, prevail and come out the other side.

            There are uncounted number of clues in the Bible, GA.

            It is “curtains” for me but you weren’t talking about my fate and you don’t know what I mean? Or I’m not part of you brave creatures even though you addressed me and only me by my handle and my new mean, unJust hurtful nick-name.

            Regardless, I don’t know, GA. As I pointed out today, you keep bringing my soul into it while I keep telling you that I am miniscule as I watch God’s Word being fulfilled.

            Then you’re like, “You’re divorced!” “You’re Tony Saprano.”

            My sordid past is not what we should be wasting our time on, GA. Let’s discuss the matters at hand and you can stop speculating on how I will fair when my understanding of what is Reality proves correct & True and I face Judgement Day as we all will.

            It’s like you think that you Just need to show me how my analysis results in potential Bad for me so I’ll quit it. Like I needed you to consider my soul vis-a-vis my analysis since 1981 (including a 7-year Hell Ride). Like it would even matter to someone practicing Science!

            You see, GA, if you can only empathize on how someone else should ignore their own analysis’ results in order to protect their psychological blanky then … it is very telling.

        Yes, I think it is more likely that the vaccinated will be most vulnerable to emerging strains of the flu. Most of the unvaccinated are aware of prevention methods, and some will have a stock of Ivermectin, as well.

        • GreenAlba May 17, 2021 at 11:11 am #

          Why would people be more vulnerable to an influenza virus because they’ve been inoculated against a coronavirus?

          I had what seemed like a cold last week. Four or five days of a very mild sore throat, plus sneezes and sniffles that seemed to last only hours.

          Maybe my Covid vaxx is helping fight off the common cold. 🙂

          • Anthea May 17, 2021 at 11:35 am #

            My understanding is that the vaccine weakens the immune system.

          • GreenAlba May 17, 2021 at 11:41 am #

            I didn’t personally have an mRNA jab.

            I think people are mixing things up and whirling it all around willy nilly.

            The purpose of the mRNA is to teach the cells to recognise SARS-CoV-2, not every other virus there is.

            One minute the unvaccinated are going to die. The next minute it’s the vaccinated …

            I think there are people on here who will be genuinely disappointed if the vaxxed are still here next year.

            I had the AZ vaxx, without any complications, and someone said people who didn’t have a reaction are more likely to die. Or something. People are heavily into I-told-you-so wishful thinking and are literally saying anything.

            Which doesn’t mean I think anyone should take a vaxx they don’t want or that they should be in any way penalised for not taking one. I think the US is looking way more control-freaky at the moment than the UK,, although I continue to observe.

            And again, Covid is PIC: Pneumonia, Influenza, and “Covid”. That’s the official “definition” over here. In other words, it’s whatever they say it is since that doesn’t make any sense medically.

            I’ve heard you folks do the same, but I couldn’t find proof of it.

          • GreenAlba May 17, 2021 at 12:16 pm #

            You can call the diseases these viruses cause whatever you like, although I would advise against it. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is simply not the same thing as the influenza virus and does not affect the body in exactly the same ways, although there is some crossover, in terms of fever, sore throat and the like.

            Do you know of anyone who has died of kidney failure contracted as a result of catching flu? I may be wrong, of course, because I haven’t even looked it up, but I don’t recall kidney failure being caused by flu. It’s a different disease, caused by a different virus.

          • tahoe1780 May 17, 2021 at 12:20 pm #

            In a sense, you did get an mRNA jab. The AZ jab uses your cell’s nuclei to produce it. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/health/oxford-astrazeneca-covid-19-vaccine.html

            Green Alba: “Do you know of anyone who has died of kidney failure contracted as a result of catching flu?” I personally suffered kidney damage indirectly from catching flu. I detected it very early & got over it with just rehydration. A few weeks later I had a 20 year old man with severe kidney damage from catching flu. I caught him early enough. He was given hydration & a few days of kidney dialysis, which prevent kidney failure. Both our cases were triggered by weightlifting while we were still symptomatic with the flu.

          If the plan is the same as the HIV/AIDS rollout, then the ‘cure’ is what will gradually sicken and/or kill people.

          If they want boosters after 6 months, they probably figure 6 months after the vaxx you need another, perhaps that’s about how long it takes for the body to reject the poison and start trying to heal itself.

          Just a theory/guess though, based on what they have done before.

          If people die slowly from continued boosters, then they can blame something (anything) else.

        It’s a puzzle. I have tried to figure out if the intent is to kill off the sheep first or not? I’m pretty sure though that we the deplorable unvaxed are being set up to take the brunt of the anger no matter what. If the vax starts to provoke terrible side effects in the vaccinated, they will be angry with us for not having taken it and hunt us down. If a variant becomes a problem, they will blame it on us for being unvaxed. So I figure perhaps the PTB assume that the vaxed will be on a witch-hunt complete with pitchfork and burning stakes to track us down anyway and they don’t need to concern themselves with how to take us out?

        • Ron Anselmo May 17, 2021 at 12:30 pm #

          Mt. Gal – I think you’re right that the unvaxed will be the scapegoats, no matter what happens.

          When things go kinetic though, the vaxed won’t stand a chance. They wouldn’t today, much less in the future, their numbers being decimated.

          Any mention, which has been bandied about, of forced vax for our military, CANNOT be allowed to happen.

    • MaryV May 17, 2021 at 10:46 am #

      I’m not sure I agree that the jab isn’t a bioweapon, given Fauxi & Co.’s previous fraud: AIDS.

      They took a new cultural situation – where mostly gay men’s lifestyles were making them very ill (mostly from wide-spread use of something called ‘poppers’, alcohol, speed, etc.) and created a ‘pandemic’ – then used the unused crap that they couldn’t sell as it was lethal (AZT) and ‘treated’ the people until they died. The scam is still being used in other countries wherever pestilence and illness are found naturally.

      I believe they may be repeating this same situation with CV19 too. IOW, taking a normal occurring flu season, attaching a marketing campaign, including media-wide fearmongering 24/7, branding, and huge payoffs to institutions and governments to keep it going, in order to get people to take their poison. It seems to me they don’t care who they maim or kill as long as 1) it makes them rich; and 2) it keeps people distracted from the bigger fraud they are committing, which is the Great Reset and technofeudalism.

      I don’t think they are targeting any one portion of the population. I think it’s just business as usual and we are collateral damage, as we have been throughout history.

      I am open to the possibility that (and have been reading about) gain-of-function spike proteins were released to attach to the regularly occurring coronavirus and make it more contagious, but of course like most things at this point it is a theory.

      • Night Owl May 17, 2021 at 11:02 am #

        Mary, I don’t know much about his involvement in the AIDS scenario, but regarding point no. 2: Corona seems to me less a distraction and more a means to create the infrastructure of control they seek.

        Where they seem to have failed most spectacularly is with the vaxx. Drs Rainer Fuellmich and Wolfgang Wodarg recently commented that the “vaccines” were not supposed to be probelmatic so early, and that they had assumed the adverse reactions would occur later, and then be covered by the “mutations.”

        By that time we would have been well on the way to mandatory shots and ID cards.

        I mentioned recently that I worked on documents for the European ID card. The cards are to contain information on all aspects of your life, from family history, to employment status, to detailed medical records, to purchase history, etc.

        The aim appears to be the introduction of a Chinese style social credit score. This is also something Schwab writes about in his books.

            And:

            “Dr. Robert Willner, an American medical scientist noted for his role in AIDS research, once accused Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden, of genocide.

            He laid the accusation during a televised press conference on the sidelines of an alternative medicine meeting in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1994.

            During the same conference, he shook the medical community when he jabbed his finger with blood he said was from an HIV-infected patient.

            Willner, who championed the view that AIDS is not caused by HIV infection, condemned members of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for allegedly perpetrating the “most horrible scandal and scam” ever perpetrated in the name of science and in all history by claiming that it is.

            “None of the proposed explanations, of which there are more than forty, as to the modus operandi of HIV, nor the virus-AIDS hypothesis itself, are based on scientifically acceptable evidence or proof. The available laboratory evidence speaks against the hypothesis. The remainder of the evidence is epidemiological, and even that, when scrutinized and truthfully presented without first being selectively screened, proves that HIV is innocent of any involvement in AIDS,” he wrote in a 1994 White Paper.

            He said that the horror of the attack on Pearl Harbour during the Second World War in 1941 did not match the atrocities allegedly being perpetrated by Fauci and his colleagues at the institute, whom he described as “scoundrels of the worst order, criminals guilty of genocide”.

            Willner claimed that Adolf Hitler would “envy the job being done by members of the National Institute of Health and even the media, especially in this country”.

            He dared Fauci, who became Director of NIAID in 1984, and his colleagues to sue him if they thought he was defaming them.

          It’s illegal to coerce someone to take the experimental vaccines.
          Companies are trying to get around that with continued masks for the unvaccinated.

          Karl Denninger has some thoughts on that, of course he does:
          https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=242414

          Nurses have already won lawsuits against the “vaccinate or mask” policies of some hospitals, over the flu shots.

          Possibly why the CDC was so desperate to keep the vaccinated wearing masks until everyone was pressured into taking the shots.

          Another area where Heavy D led the way. He made the heretical claim that if you are vaccinated, you should behave as if you are now immune to the virus, as that what vaccines are for.

          He forced the hands of the liars.

            Tucker Carlson as well. Now they are rebounding with the question: How do we know who has had the vaccine and have the right to go unmasked? They will use this to usher in vaccine passports. The vaccinated will demand it, vicious cowards that they are.

          • Hereward the Woke May 17, 2021 at 1:50 pm #

            I don’t care what any judge says. You can’t force someone to take ANY vaccine against their will, experimental or “approved”. Sure, they’ll wheel out some law, but that is only human sophistry. You cannot force anyone to take medication against their wishes.

          • MaryV May 18, 2021 at 10:30 am #

            Easy enough to say, Hereward, but people are literally losing their jobs and livelihoods because even when they point out it’s illegal, the business owners are not listening. It take lawsuits for them to listen, and how many people can manage to live without income and sue their employer? You’d need 6 months to a year’s worth of $$ saved up and most don’t have that.

            I hope those that can start suing them. They are breaking the law and harming people.

          • Blackbird May 18, 2021 at 11:29 am #

            I’m sure the courts will be used to maintain the fiction. Small businesses: “Guilty. You owe your employee $27 M” out-of-business and onto the dole. Big business: “Too big to go case-by-case. Gonna have to do a class-action” – which drags on forever, enriching the lawyers.

            With few exceptions, the courts are firmly on the side of the plutocracy.

          My hunch is the reason the vax has been pushed so hard is CDC/NIH knew reports of serious adverse would become public despite any efforts to tamp them down. Once that started happening, vax uptake would slow.

          Biden jabbering now the non vaxxed are putting themselves and other non vaxxed at risk. Apparently those who got the shots are now fully protected. A bit of a change in the rhetoric of browbeating us to take the vax.

          Also supposed to announce today that 60% of Americans have had at least one shot. Based on the numbers of fully vaxxed, I have my doubts. Yesterday’s numbers from the site I posted few days back:

            Even Mr. Clean I think had a pine base.
            That pine smell was the signature smell of institutions where they cleaned the floors every day with the stuff.

            Now the cleaners many use are so loaded with “synthetic” perfumes that the smell makes you gag.

            Vinegar is the best natural cleaner, IMHO. It just smells yucky. But the smell doesn’t last, but the disinfecting does.

          • tully May 18, 2021 at 6:51 am #

            The smell of vinegar can be improved. Fill a quart mason jar with citrus peels, grapefruit, lemon or both; about half full. Pour white vinegar over to fill, cap and stash in a cool dark place. Let the peels soak at least two weeks; month is better.
            Remove the peels and use as you normally would for cleaning.
            Makes for much nicer stalling vinegar. 🙂

        Spike proteins are also an off-shoot of the experimental drugs, and there is research that indicates vaccinated folks give off that spike protein which infects the non-vaccinated. If correct, you have to wonder how dedicated and ethical investigators could have made such a mistake, and if it was a mistake as opposed to deliberate. The billions in profit to the drug companies may provide a clue.

I’m sure in the Fall, we can expect more “strains and mutations” or something completely new. And for what it’s worth, in July, the WEF will be “wargaming” a giant cyber attack, just as they wargamed a corona type virus hit – just before it happened.

        The internet will go down too, of course, and only some of it will come back up. I wouldn’t be surprised if at this time next year we aren’t here reading Mr. K’s words and arguing about their meaning – or the meaning of anything and everything. Make sure you buy his books!

        Actually, there was precedent set on masking in the 1918 pandemic. It proved that masking HARMED the population and made people sicker.

        I don’t know why these people are allowed to call the shots. I don’t know why the public is falling for and accepting this… the only thing that makes sense is that they have been brainwashed by the media.

        In my job, in an area of healthcare, I have worn a mask for decades. I kind of go by my past experience with it. When I am diligent about wearing my mask, I have fewer respiratory infections. However, i wear a true N-95 type mask. A cloth mask is no different than pulling your tea shirt up over your nose.

        • Mountain gal May 17, 2021 at 11:39 am #

          Right, but most of the population can’t get real N95 masks and have been duped into thinking that the flimsy “surgical masks” they get at the store or the cotton ones they sew up are effective. Not to forget bandanas etc.

          • Beryl of Oyl May 17, 2021 at 12:23 pm #

            N-95 masks are cautioned against for certain wearers, and also come with warnings against “continuous use”.

            I used to wonder about that, why would you have to tell someone using a table saw to pull down that mask and breathe once in a while?

            Nurses also won lawsuits against masks as punishment for refusing flu shots, because it was a fact that prolonged wearing of a mask was harmful to the wearer.

            Anyway, the actual data from the places that imposed and enforced mask wearing versus those that didn’t is clear, masks do not “work” against contagious disease.

            The whole premise for wearing any mask was the myth (outright lie) of “asymptomatic transmission”. We knew this was not true in March 2020.

            That cute little “your mask protects me, my mask protects you” “droplets” blah blah blah cartoon that went around was bs propaganda.

            It reminder me of the animation that the FBI made to tell us all what we saw when TWA flight 800 crashed.

            Droplets? Yeah, right.

            The amazing part is, Dr. Fauci could say one thing one day, within 24 hours say something utterly different, and people would believe him anew each time.

            If our ruling class rally beived the mask and social distance baloney, and how could they, because they are the ones who made it up, you wouldn’t see them violating their own restrictions.

            Fauci, Birx, Pelosi Kerry, all pretty old and decrepit, but they flout the rules when they think no one is looking.

            Whitmer went to Florida, the Death State, after telling Michigan residents not to.

        • Hereward the Woke May 17, 2021 at 1:54 pm #

          No arguments from me, Butter. I’m not in the medical trade. However, it’s interesting that a British doc back in 1981, Neil Orr, did large scale tests on the effectiveness of masks in operating theaters. He found that the control group of surgeons who didn’t wear masks suffered fewer infections than the group that did. I don’t begrudge you your mask and lack of infections, but forcing ordinary plebs to wear them is insanity.

          • abbybwood May 17, 2021 at 2:58 pm #

            Generally masks are worn in surgery to protect the patient.

            Of course now with a simple bleeder potentially shooting HIV or Hep C etc. into a surgeons eye, besides masks surgeons (and others) must wear protective eye gear as well.

            Reminds me of the olden days when doctors were delivering babies from room to room spreading infections to mothers.

            Once they realized there were these nasty little microscopic critters called germs they started rigorous hand washing between patients and the incidence of cross-infections plummeted.

          • Islander May 17, 2021 at 7:37 pm #

            Abbywood:

            According to Dr. Michael Osterholm of CIDRAP in his podcast of June 2, 2020, there is no evidence of masks’ efficacy to stop germs, also in a surgical theater. He stated that doctors justlike to wear them, but they accomplish nothing.

            A transcript of his podcast on the subject of masks should be read in full. Osterhold also quite harshly criticized the CDC for their misleading info on masks and the irrelevance of the studies they cited in support of their mandates.

          I’ve been on the outs with many of the Trump supporters who want to make all kinds of ridiculous excuses for him, but maybe if we, 75 million of us, had demanded that he do the right thing and clean house, we might have had a chance to turn things around.

    I can only imagine that Leningrad felt the same apprehension that we are feeling today. Things are happening off in the distance but those events are creating waves that are beginning to wash over the community. Your neighbor’s son is MIA. The men in the apartment block have been reassigned to the factory that produces tanks. Curfew. Items are starting to vanish off of store shelves. Etc.

    The authorities proclaim “great victories” but the menace keeps drawing closer. People that you know are missing family members and the stores are now empty. Rationing has begun.

    The city is surrounded and the people have already eaten their pets. They boil shoe leather and eat that as well. They eat the glue off of wallpaper and book bindings. They eat the leaves from the trees.

    I can tell you this: Right now you are just beginning to feel the ripple effect of an unstoppable force. It only gets worse from here.

    • Beryl of Oyl May 17, 2021 at 11:06 am #

      I’m wondering why more people aren’t feeling any apprehension.

      It’s odd, at the beginning of the pandemia, it was the reverse, the authorities were claiming this was a disease like no other, look at the video of a single moment of a single day of a single hospital in Italy, played over and over, look at the images of people suddenly keeling over in the street, tin Communist China, the same few images shown over and over.

      Meanwhile, we could see for ourselves that nothing like this was happening. I called a relative down in NYC, an “essential worker” and asked him about the overwhelmed ERs.

      That wasn’t happening.

      I called a friend up here, working in a major hospital. They made room for all the COVID patients. They never came, they had to ask for some from NYC.

      With our own eyes we could see for ourselves, but so many chose to believe what they were being told instead.

      • Night Owl May 17, 2021 at 11:13 am #

        Same thing here in Germany. The claims of overwhelmed ERs and a lack of intensive care beds were exposed.

            Why do you always use the very strange expression “up here”? The forum isn’t “up” from anywhere. The correct English term is “on here”. Very odd.

        Put a camera in front of a female nurse, and you can get here weeping in no time. It’s a hard job and they see much human suffering. And of course there’s the drama queen aspect. Trying to be neutral here. In any case, the emotional potential is there no matter what it’s source. They can be used – and they were.

        • abbybwood May 17, 2021 at 3:12 pm #

          A nurse I know who works in a Los Angeles pediatric ICU told me about all the two, three and five year olds being admitted due to severe child abuse.

          The Covid lockdowns left little ones at home with monsters.

          I know what a traumatized nurse looks like with tears rolling down her cheeks.

          • Yohannon May 17, 2021 at 3:58 pm #

            And don’t forget the idle dancing nurses in non-Covid hospitals. And the nurse police who would go out and stare at lockdown protestors, all masked and shit.

            How many women and kids were raped or beaten by thugs they couldn’t escape because doing so brought all kinds of opprobrium for not respecting the lockdown and trying to spread a flu bug that was being billed as worse than bubonic plague? Too bad it was more important to a lot of people to dump GGG than it was to protect women and children from abusive assholes. “Time’s Up?”. I think not.

        That, Beryl, is the mystery of mysteries.

    “The public is also noticing the alarming statistics, and many remain unconvinced that the vaccines are even vaccines in the usual sense, but rather insufficiently tested exotic experiments desperately employed against something that looks more and more like a bio-weapon that the government itself was complicit in creating.”

    There are some who have figured this out long ago and there are many who have not. I would say that those who have not figured this out far outweigh those who have.

    But my Florida Governor Rick Desantis, figured this out long ago when he asked Tony Fauci how much money was he making from peddling these exotic cocktail drugs hiding under the name “vaccines”?

    What doesn’t get mentioned and gets swept under the rug are all the cases of “paralysis, strokes, spinal inflammation, heart inflammation, blood clots and death”. The Governments, WHO, The CDC and the Main Stream Media which includes Farcebook, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram and others don’t want you to hear.

    Now you are hearing the coaxing by the Gov’t, retailers and others saying if you are vaccinated you don’t need to wear a mask and in some States such as Ohio, I believe people are getting paid for getting the “Jab”.

    All for a virus with a kill rate of 0.028% which puts in the ballpark of the Hong Kong Flu. But those who stand to make shitloads of money want you to believe it’s the second coming of the Black Plague.

          Problem is, the way of life here is pretty entrenched. Good luck, libbies. They managed to sneak one into the Boise mayor’s office. Everyone loathes her. I think she was a ‘pre-Covid’ placement (like so many) put in place just for this whole roll-out.

          In any case, she’s got battle scars. And now people are wiser.

          Also? Even though the place is crawling with Californians, a lot of them left because they don’t like the policies there. So that gives me hope.

      Like Pfizer, who recently announced $3.5 billion in profits from the experimental drug. No releases from Moderna, who came from basially “0”, or Astra-Zeneca, or Johnson & Johnson.

      • Islander May 17, 2021 at 8:13 pm #

        And Pfizer is predicting another $25 billion in profits next year, or down the line, from the ‘boosters,” etc.

    • abbybwood May 17, 2021 at 3:25 pm #

      When the Hong Kong flu hit a vaccine was rushed out.

      Once 50 people died after receiving that jab it was quickly stopped.

      Even with statistics back-logged it appears thousands have experienced severe reactions/death from these Covid jabs, yet the MacDonalds etc. propaganda mill continues trying to cajole us into being good little citizens and rolling up our sleeves! Free beer! The chance to win a million in a lottery!

      When Biden proclaimed last week like a fucking dictator, “Either get the vaccine or wear a mask until you do” that was the cherry on the Covid sundae for me.

      The corruption and criminality at the top of our government needs to be checked. Our only hope is that some members of Congress will have the brains and balls to MAKE the Justice Department investigate and prosecute ALL these cretins.

      And speaking of cretins, what is the FBI doing about the Hunter Biden laptop? Will they have to hunt him down while he is lecturing at Rutgers to cuff and perp-walk him?

      Where is Durham???

      Anyone? Anyone?

      • BackRowHeckler May 17, 2021 at 5:22 pm #

        I’m curious about the handgun Hunter Biden illegally bought, the discarded in a DC trashcan.

        That’s a bunch of felonies right there, on the federal level.

        Haven’t heard much about it lately.

        CNN is still talking about Charlottesville and Jan. 6, the only civil disturbances that have happened in the US in the past 5 years.

        • Blackbird May 18, 2021 at 11:59 am #

          C’mon man, Hunter is bravely staggering down the road to recovery. Indicting him for – or even talking about – actions that may have been slightly less than legal, would deny him the life he deserves. Everybody’s trying to Floyd poor Hunter…

      • Uncle Bob May 18, 2021 at 1:13 am #

        Congress can’t compel the FBI to do jack because the FBI, as a component of the Justice Department, is part of the Executive Branch. And, as we’ve seen, the DOJ does the bidding of the Swamp, even when ordered by the president to do something, especially when his last name starts with Trump. Even if Congress could force the FBI to look into Crackhead Hunter’s activities, do you think a Democrat Congress would do so? No, I suspect all this skullduggery will remain hidden until YHWH reveals it on Judgment Day.

      • Wizard of the Saddle May 20, 2021 at 7:58 pm #

        Nothing will happen. The Justice Department does not exist to punish criminal acts by uniparty elites. The DOJ is a creature that is staffed by, and wholly controlled by, the elites. It exists to keep the rubes and plebes in line. This is why the DOJ is expending enormous resources to go after January 6th protestors, the cops who detained George Floyd, various Trump associates, Rudy Giuliani, and anyone else they believe to be a threat to the Biden Regime that presently sits enthroned in the WH, having successfully usurped the Oval Office through blatant election fraud and massive collusion with corporate and media elites.

        I’m sorry to deliver the bad news, but that is how things are.

        If Republicans in Congress actually had our backs they would slash the budget of the DOJ or pass legislation abolishing it entirely.

        We don’t have to have a DOJ, you know. The country got along fine without one between 1789 – 1870. The existence of this foul bureaucracy is the legacy of the corrupt, Reconstruction-era, Radical Republicans. It has always been a tool for tyranny from it’s very inception during the dark days that followed the Civil War triumph of the unionist federals and the champions of centralized government in Washington.

  10. Beryl of Oyl May 17, 2021 at 11:12 am #

    There were 223 cases of people who were vaccinated for COVID dying from COVID.
    That’s out of 115 million.

    Now they are making the distinction that there are deaths “with” COVID that aren’t caused by COVID alone.

    Okay, now apply that same standard to the 600k.

    Anyone who is interested should watch the 10 minute video on TED from the lead Physician/Medical Scientist who created the Moderna Vaccine.

    He goes on to describe how the Moderna Vaccine works and it should setoff Red Flags because he goes on to describe how the Moderna vaccine hacks the bodies operating system. How in the future your medical data can get uploading to the cloud and other medical agencies can download your data so they can help others with similar medical conditions.

    Now the cynic says is the hacking of the bodies operating system going to allow nefarious agents to hack into your body and cause potential harm? Just like Microsoft Windows being an operating system, will this create backdoors that the government can intrude? Could we be subjected to Ransonware attacks in the future?

    Is it possible that we could get cutoff from the system aka “The Mark of The Beast 666” if we oppose the government?

      People in Power have always conspired. History is little more than the actions after People in Power conspired. For all of mankind’s history.

      To think that this obvious Reality recently, magically stopped with no fanfare is to be a small child. Or a lamb surrounded by wolves.

      • Wizard of the Saddle May 20, 2021 at 9:22 pm #

        I agree. Another small child delusion is to believe that we can vote our way out from under the hegemony of political elites. It doesn’t work.

        Elites rule because they control the government’s monopoly on the lawful use of violence/force. It takes force to overthrow them. Period.

        When the plebes rise up with what the elites describe as “unlawful” violence/force then, and only then, is the power of the elites in peril of being lost.

        If the uprising is successful, it magically becomes lawful, because the victorious insurrectionists become the new governing elites. Meanwhile, the deposed elites who formerly governed can magically become criminals and can be incarcerated or executed by the new government, and often are.

        When this happens, it is sometimes referred to as a “Revolution.” That’s the magic word that changes the lawful status of the parties involved in the struggle for governing power,

        But if you fail, it is merely a “rebellion” and rebels can be incarcerated and/or executed.

        It all boils down to force. George Washington said as much. So did Chairman Mao. This never changes. The idea of self-government is largely a charade to pacify the deluded citizenry into believing that they actually rule themselves.

  13. Mountain gal May 17, 2021 at 11:25 am #

    Meanwhile, the CDC has announced that they will no longer count cases of Covid in the vaccinated(“breakthrough cases) unless they die. Only Covid cases in the unvaccinated will be counted in the statistics. Furthermore, they will run the PCR tests for Covid in the already vaccinated for fewer cycles than they do for the unvaccinated. I couldn’t make this up if I tried!

        And then she proselytized for 30 minutes about “science” and “masking” and “herd immunity” and “variants” and how everyone needed to get “vaccinated” and we could all “return to normal.”

          Mary & O.G. – yes.

          Carlin – an absolute genius, saw the same exact world we all see, but in a completely singular way. All his material was his own – no writers – not possible – no one processed observations the way he did.

          A personal hero, he’ll never be replaced. That thump-thump-thump you hear is Carlin spinning in his grave. If he were here today, he’d be apoplectic, running wide open.

          Maybe not – maybe he’d just sit across the street, with that raised eyebrow expression, and watch the house burn down.

          • MaryV May 19, 2021 at 11:53 am #

            Nice tribute to Carlin.

            Yes, his genius was unique and sharp. I think I’ve enjoyed everything he’s ever done.

            Definitely spinning in his grave.

            One of the things he said that stuck with me was re: American stupidity, which of course he spoke about often, but this time he said, “you know those people on Jerry Springer? Those aren’t ‘fringe,’ those people are the majority.” LOL, I think he’s proven himself correct there.

          • Night Owl May 19, 2021 at 5:40 pm #

            I think there are plenty of folks who see the world similarly, but Carlin had a gift for packaging those observations up in a way that was both hilarious and that stripped away all of the bullshit to reveal the naked, unvarnished truth.

            Few people can stomach the unvarnished truth, which is why comedy is so valuable.

            A fun experiment is to listen to modern comedians during the Covid Hoax. Whether late night hosts, SNL, or stand-up performers, they are completely unfunny. Some still have the abilty, but they literally cannot practice their craft anymore, because comedy by definition requires shirking off bullshit.

            The reason shit is funny is because it is true.

          • Ron Anselmo May 20, 2021 at 1:48 am #

            Mary & Night Owl – agreed, all good points.

            I think the hesitancy of today’s comedians has to do with fear of being cancelled. JFC, anything they say will offend someone, so the material is watered down to the point of having lost all humor.

            Carlin, being fearless, would probably say something Carlinesque, like “If they can’t take a joke – fuck ’em!”, and he may have.

            A personal favorite one-liner of his, “I am not in compliance”. About 20 years ago I had a custom made t-shirt with same. People would ask me what it pertained to – my answer, “You name it”.

            Love wearing it in large crowds – never fails to get comments & lots of mileage (especially before pushing back became a thing) – my own tribute to Carlin. RIP, gone but never forgotten.

    A pandemic exists in the present because the definition was changed a dozen or more years ago to count cases, not deaths.??

    Cases had to be inflated to support the definition.

    The test which is not a test (PCR) accomplished the increase in case numbers.

    The “test” is a lab factory device for manufacturing the same item to sufficient quantity to try and study it for a possible vaccine.

    The genesis of the test which is not a test is rooted in the HIV/AIDS situation from the 1980’s. An unsuccessful attempt to develop an AIDS vaccine.

    ??When is a vaccine not a vaccine? Answer: When it does not provide immunity.??

    Do any of the jabs paraded as “vaccine” provide immunity? No.

    ??Do any of the manufacturers claim the provision of immunity? No.??

    Claiming impartment of immunity could be written proof of fraud. ??The information sheets (package inserts) carefully avoid fraudulent claims by avoiding the word “immune” in any form and dancing around declarative statements with strings of modifiers and qualifiers attached to the information.

    My opinion: Getting the jab of the experimental biologic agent is a badge. It is virtue signaling, just as wearing masks are a form of virtue signaling.

    Alternate to badge: it is a fear response not rooted in reality. Fear of the unknown and unseen, which is presented non-stop 24/7 just about everywhere one either looks or listens.

    ??I am amazed so many healthcare providers submit themselves to injection of an experimental biologic agent and then wear their submission to introducing untested mRNA product into their bodies as some sort of honorable sign to make the claim they are “safe”. ??

    Whatever being safe is. ???

      “My opinion: Getting the jab of the experimental biologic agent is a badge. It is virtue signaling […]”

      How disappointing that they didn’t give me even a bit of paper to say I am now virtuous.

      I wonder who I should virtue signal to, since no-one has bothered to ask me if I’m biologically badged. I guess I’m missing out on something?

      You’d think at least the bus driver could have looked interested. But no.

    Jim, It’s been quite a while since I read ‘The Long Emergency,’ but you must have hypothesized that the deteriorating state of affairs would take on an Albert Bartlett-style progression (“The greatest shortcoming of the human race…”). It seems just yesterday we could look out along the path of human progress and see the horizon. Now we’re looking up a steep fucking path to nowhere, off into the darkness of the vacuum of nothingness; a fair analogy for what our lives will soon become.

    Pertinent essay by a friend:

    The New Normal: Breaking People Like Teacups
    A Facebook Post by Juniper Kozlowski

    There is No Place For Me in the “New Normal.”

    Two nights ago I was invited to have a glass of wine with an older couple who I adore, and who I garden for. I was wary about accepting, simply because I know that all anyone wants to talk about is the jab and the “covid,” and I can’t take much more; and also because I remember how they reacted last summer, when I brought up the very legitimate and verifiable World Economic Forum and The Great Reset.

    I had never seen anyone clean up a tea-set so fast.

    But, I love these folks, and I hoped and assumed we would sit outside, and crossed my fingers that the subject would not come up, or that it could be brushed away quickly.

    I arrived at the door, and because they are older and he has COPD, I asked if they wanted me to put on a ‘face thingy’? as I called it, miming covering my face with my hand. (I still don’t know why we couldn’t just sit outside).

    She said, “Well, that depends. What is your ‘status?’”

    I played stupid and said, “Huh? Uh.. Well i’ve been alone for over a year, and I am completely isolated from everyone, and no longer engage with society or other human beings in any way aside from a trip to the grocery every 3 weeks.”

    She chuckled (as though that is in any way amusing), and said, “But have you had the jab?”

    I said “Well that’s a personal question… but no,”

    She looked shocked and horrified (even tho I told them last summer I would not be getting it) and then she launched into a loooooong and somewhat desperate sounding lecture about how ‘safe’ It is, how well tested It is, how “It’s been in development for 20 years” (??) and how “It’s what we need to do, as a country, and for our communities” and how It isn’t going to work if some people don’t get It. And how the bells palsy and the strokes and the bloodclots deaths and siezures were only the AZ or the whichever stupid Brand of Pharma. And “Look At India!!” etc.

    All this while I was standing in the doorway waiting to come in, Or Not, and feeling incredibly awkward because no matter what I say, if I disagree, I am a “dirty republican conspiracy theory trump supporter crazy person” or something, and met with literal Shock; and I wasn’t there to get into an argument, or defend my position on My Private Medical Procedures. And I fucking Knew this would happen. But I was invited for a glass of wine and if a coerced Medical Procedure was a prerequisite, that should have been stated in the invitation. I was angry, but mostly I felt great sadness, as I formerly thought the world of these folks, and I thought they were my ‘friends.”

    Eventually, after an Inordinate amount of what can only be referred to as Scolding, Silencing, and Shaming, she reluctantly let me in the house. (WHY couldn’t we just sit outside??)

    From then on I felt nervous about breathing or touching anything and carefully and meticulously tried not to touch the other crackers on the cheese plate lest I communicate unseen asymptomatic plague cooties. I tried not to open my mouth too wide or breathe in their direction. I can only imagine the Disinfection Protocol that must have ensued when I left their beautiful rural farmhouse (which, btw, is like something out of a dream, and is a second home; they are summer residents here only).

    And what if they come down with allergies or a sneeze or a headache, later, who will be blamed? Me, the only unmasked visitor to their lives.

    Another one of my favorite people, a 90 yr old woman with Parkinson’s, who I also garden for, No longer invites me into the house for tea and cookies over plant books when we are done gardening, like she always used to. I miss our tea and cookies and plant book perusal so much. It was my favorite part of the day. I cannot be certain, but I suspect i’m no longer invited in because I have not submitted to the jab.

    Vermont, like most states and countries, has decided to engage in and enforce Medical Apartheid.

    In order to return to any semblance of ‘normal’ (which most of us here know is never going to be allowed to happen, because this is about control not a virus, this is about the merger of State and Corporate power, there will from now on always be a new “variant” and a new booster jab for every variant because it’s also about money too), To go back to ‘normal’ They say you must get the jab. If you don’t get it, you will be Excluded and Ostracized From Pretty Much Everything; Medical & Dental care, Grocery stores, and from any other business that decides to enforce this.

    Governments are putting the responsibility of enforcement of this Medical Apartheid on businesses, as well as individual citizens.

    Businesses are given incentive to enforce this, via higher occupancy rate allowances for jabbed customers.

    There are Rewards for the Morally Righteous:

    Businesses say: You don’t have to wear your muzzle anymore; you are Free now, you’re “allowed” to hug people, you get Free Donuts, Free Beer, and McDonalds for everyone who gets the jab. (Sounds like a healthy diet to prevent illness!)

    There is also some sick lottery by which jabbed folks are now eligible to win one million dollars every Wednesday.

    There are Punishments for those who do not submit to the jab:

    You must keep your muzzle on, Marking Yourself as Deplorable, Unclean, Inconsiderate, a Danger to the “Community;” Visually Differentiating yourself from the Morally Righteous who have obediently submitted to arbitrary Corporate Sponsored Authority and gotten their experimental shot. You must stay home, stay outside, be denied entry, employment, or access to public spaces and services.

    You Must Be Excluded, Avoided, Ostracized and Feared.

    The Vt. Governor, Führer Scott, also makes it clear that he wants businesses to REQUIRE their employees to get the shot.

    This means those of us who do not want the experimental jab For WhatEver Reason, Will Not Be Able to Work.

    As outrageous as we know this is, the rabidly pro-jab-everyone folks truly Believe that to Protect the community, Everyone must get the jab, so they think Medical Apartheid is both Normal, and Fair, and the Right thing to do.

    Intelligent, good people are not just Willing but apparently Very Eager to Personally Enforce this Totally Abusive Diktat.

    This is no way to live, it isn’t living. It’s Abuse, Gaslighting, Blackmail, Torture.

    There is No Place For Me, and many many others like me, in the New Normal.

      Twenty years in development? So they admit that the jab isn’t for Covid but rather covid is for the Jab? And tell us about those twenty years: How is this one different than the one that killed all those animals. It is different, right?

      I don’t know why she went inside. Insist on going outside or leave. Unless she needs the work that badly. I mean they’re not friends anymore – she must know that. I assume she went in with the mask on. And had to keep taking it off to take a sip? That’s degrading in itself.

        It’s quite possible they’ve been working on these gene therapies that long.

        Humira, one of the first gene therapies was developed in the late 90s and brought to market in the early 00s.

        Big Pharma knows far more about genetic manipulation of the human body than they care to tell.

        • Yohannon May 17, 2021 at 4:41 pm #

        I would say that MaryV is “friends with” and “just adores” some very nasty people.

        I have a couple of friends who swallowed the covid hysteria hook, line, and sinker, and who took the vaccine. (In their defense, they are seriously immune compromised.) I will suffer fools, but I will not put up with people who become abusive.

        I think if I had been detained for a lecture at someone’s front door, I would have checked the time on my left wrist and said, “Oh! You know what? It’s time to check my tires,” and left.

      This new ruling from OSHA letting businesses know that if they “mandate” the experimental jabs and the person is adversely injured or dies, the business can be held liable:

      http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=62224

      Considering that now the government and big pharma are NOT liable for any adverse injuries/deaths, this is an interesting development.

      If your employer tries to mandate the jab just have your lawyer buddy type up a contract (backed by OSHA) that if you are mandated to get the jab in order to be employed, that employer will accept ALL liability for injury/death.

      Watch how quickly they start whistling a different tune.

      • MaryV May 17, 2021 at 4:01 pm #

        YES.

        I loved learning about that last week.

        Not only that? But per HIPAA, no one is legally allowed to ask you if you are vaccinated.

        Also? It’s unconstitutional for force jab us, and plus, ESPECIALLY if it’s an experimental one. That is why they are pushing to formally approve it as non-experimental at the end of the month. To skirt these laws and even more accountability.

        I assure you once employers start getting their asses sued off they will have to readjust.

        • Mountain gal May 17, 2021 at 6:46 pm #

          What I keep hearing near me is that the vaxed want a way to identify the unvaxed; they want to be able to ask them if they are vaxed or not. I think just having us wear yellow stars should do it!

          • Blackbird May 18, 2021 at 12:16 pm #

            A really cool way to fulfill the needs and desires of the enthusiastically vaxxed would be to add something to the shot that could be read via cellphone. Have the phone vibrate anytime a novaxx is within say, 60 feet. Of course some people will abuse this feature…

          • Ron Anselmo May 19, 2021 at 2:08 am #

            How about if we wear shirts that say, “I’m not a dumbass”.

            Then when they ask if you’re vaxxed or not, you can say, “Can’t you read my shirt?”

          “, no one is legally allowed to ask you if you are vaccinated. ‘

          Does that apply only to an employer or potential employer?
          Or to anyone?

          Because the guy who runs the local film society loads up his “introductory” remarks with requests to show hands as to who has been “vaccinated” —kind of like a gung-ho camp counselor. I would love to tell him that it is illegal to ask people/me about their/my medical status and treatments.

          Of course the rest of his patter is also dispensable, but that is another question entirely . . .

            Violation of HIPAA.

      • MaryV May 17, 2021 at 4:02 pm #

        What they are considering at my place of work is not force-vaxxing but making life harder for those that don’t. So, the sneaky, asshole way. For instance they are saying that anyone not vaxxed will have to be tested once a week. I’m working remotely, but the second they try to force me back into an office is the day I either sue or walk.

        Today I have been thinking about how to find other jab-dissenters with whom one can start a community of some kind. Or even a conversation.

        I don’t don’t do social media, so the possibilities seem to be very limited. An ad in the paper? How to word it?

        A few days ago I made some cloth masks for my great-nephew, to save him from the aggravation of wearing the really uncomfortable stiff synthetic masks that his mother forces on him (also all day at school). One of them is made from handkerchief cloth. He is a junior in high school and has to put up with this nonsense.

        There are exceptions, of course.

        I’ve had a couple of folks ask me “the question” about my jab status. I lied, of course, to both of these damn Yankee transplants.

    Observed from a distance, another galaxy seems calm, beautiful and elegant. Up close, and in certain regions, cosmoligicsl activity is much more violent. Similarly we find oursleves, to which Jim has previously alluded, WITHIN an historical epoch. As infuriating and bewildering as some of the socio-political phenomena may appear right now, (blm, transgenderism, Police murders, contested elections, etc… they will, in retrospect (much in the future) be merely footnotes to the macro gravitational waves and gamma ray bursts which are determining human history. The main event is resource depletion which means not all 8 billion people can be permitted to exist any longer on planet Earth. Furthermore, the damage caused 150 years of reckless and unrestrained use of the PRIMARY resource (petroleum) is quite probably pushing us all to a mass extinction event. Perhaps the PTB will get their wish for widespread population reduction in any case, even if the COVID ruse fails. Or maybe they’ll just watch on as we all stupidly play into their hands and kill each other.

      I hope you are right. I think the Nicholas Wade story in Medium about the Eco Health Alliance funds going to Wuhan gained much more traction than anyone thought. Fauci seems to have been flailing ever since.

        I hope you are right. I think the Nicholas Wade story in Medium about the Eco Health Alliance funds going to Wuhan gained much more traction than anyone thought. Fauci seems to have been flailing ever since.

        I’m allergic to conspiracy theorising, and I’m a well-tuned sceptic – but even I found the Nicholas Wade paper well-reasoned and persuasive. And he has a reputation … he’s not a nutjob.

        So it could well have come from a virology lab, not from the wild via a meat market, and there could be US funding involved.

        However I don’t easily buy the next three steps: (1) inherent gain-of-function capacity, (2) bioweapon rather than medical purpose, or (3) deliberate release – although the Chinese didn’t stop the spread when they probably could have.

        And I don’t buy the even wilder theory – that the virus is just the bait, and it’s the vaccine that is the real bioweapon for The Great Gene Change and The Great Reset and The Great Depopulation.

        And has Tucker Carlson fessed up yet, and told his adoring septuagenarian audience whether he’s had the vax himself?

            To repeat: Private medical info is none of anyone else’s business. However, while we are on the subject, of farm greater relevance is wehther those working in Fauci’s agency have been vaxxed. he dodged the question with a fudge.

            The public is paying for this scam on so very many levels: We have a right to see the records of the agency that is home to the Top Scammer. And Fauci’s tax returns and his own medical and travel records since 1984.

        Saw an online comment speculating the CDC’s sudden reversal on masks last Thursday was to draw attention away from Fauci after the Nicholas Wade article which then got further coverage thanks to Tucker Carlson.

    WEll, ladies and germs;

    I have seen several references to Walmart allowing those who have been vaxxed to enter their stores without wearing masks (sorry, no reference).

    This, of course, will single out mask wearers (potentially) for…Sonderbehandulung. The public can then have a target to
    vent it’s outrage.

    I need help from the assembled readers. I need to update the large yellow Star of David…large, crudely made and prominently displayed…however “Jude” as earlier printed thereupon needs to be updated…

    “Unvax”?

    “Achtung”?

    “Gefhar”?

    Something in German…perhaps Owl can assist?

    • Yohannon May 17, 2021 at 1:28 pm #

      The Unvaxed are still the Majority – but they don’t want us to know that.

      • abbybwood May 17, 2021 at 4:06 pm #

        I am in SoCal and rarely wear a mask. Haven’t worn one outside anywhere from the beginning. I get to the door of an establishment and dart in with my blue joke surgeon prop and as soon as I am out the door I stuff the mask into my purse.

        I am 71 with silvery hair and probably most who see me assume I have had the jab cause I am a “senior”.

        I am almost hoping some Karen tries to jump down my throat for not masking up. Any suggestions for a tasty comeback comment from all of youse guys and gals?

        • Anthea May 17, 2021 at 5:14 pm #

          It happens the other way too. My mask use is much the same as yours, but without the internal drama. But I have a younger neighbour who started off clapping like a seal for the NHS and then morphed into believing it is all a hoax. Whatever, I avoid discussions with her because she’s usually had a few when she’s spoiling for a bit of patronising virtue signalling.

          Bumped into her in the corner shop one day maskless and looking at me with disdain. So I just moved on by without giving her the chance to do her anti-mask-Karen thing on me. She can’t be properly rude to me because I’m her go-to person when she wants a loan of £20.

            Does she pay back the money?

          • GreenAlba May 18, 2021 at 6:52 am #

            HM

            Eventually. Last time she asked for a tenner for half an hour (some story about a lost bank card and the boyfriend, who lives up the road, wasn’t in) and I got it back a week or so later. (She lives on benefits – while doing bits of work she doesn’t declare – so I pay my share of her rent and all her other expenses through my taxes!).

            My husband doesn’t approve of me lending her money, so she never asks when he’s around. I don’t really care – it’s small amounts – the most was £40 to get her a taxi to A&E and back because she’d twisted her knee doing yoga. I suggested she take a couple of paracetamol instead and rest it for a couple of hours, and told her A&E would probably tell her the same thing.

            But we have a free health service, so numpties who pay no taxes can make free with it for truly stupid stuff. So she proceeded to A&E in a taxi and they did indeed tell her to take some painkillers, as you would.

            Saw her a couple of days later skipping about with no sore knee. What am I like, she said, or words to that effect (I was tempted to tell her). Thus are health systems ground down, one entitled time-waster at a time. 🙂

            Oh my, GA. You sound like a cranky conservative denouncing those welfare parasites down the street! LOL

            Hey just curious. It looks like Scottish Independence is becoming an issue again. What say you? And what does that even mean? Do you keep the royals like Canada and Australia?

            You know me, the crazy conspiracy nut. I think national sovereignty is mostly a sham for public consumption. The globalists know no borders. They are like “doctors without borders” only more properly “vampires without borders”.

          • GreenAlba May 18, 2021 at 10:07 am #

            Well I’ve always known if I’m getting something ‘for nothing’, hm, someone else is paying for it, so if that makes me a cranky conservative, so be it. Blessed with a ‘free’ health service, my reaction is not to take the piss out of it.

            Anyway, yes, Indyref2 …

            Almost definitely going to happen. Almost certainly the nats will win (emotion over reason is everywhere) and almost certainly will be an economic disaster.

            Things we will keep:

            Monarchy, I think.

            Pound, possibly,but only possibly. Perhaps we will get groats or something.

            Much bigger deficit than the UK as a whole (but Nicola will avoid talking about that before the Neverendum vote and will say it’s not really a deficit, it’s the English stealing our taxes, or something).

            Fantasy history, as well as fantasy economics.

            And worst of all, Nicola herself, who is impossible to get rid of.

            Things we will lose:

            Easy commerce with our southern neighbour with whom we do 60% of our business.

            The right to be a British citizen.

            Excuses where things can be blamed on the English nicking our oil revenues.

            Businesses, by the dozen, probably. Lots of small and medium-sized businesses have already had to open a place in the EU in order to continue trading. Same thing will happen with independence, but much worse, as more will just leave.

            Or maybe there will be unicorns and sunny uplands. 🙂

      I read that Costco will not require masks for those who took the jab, but they will also not ask for proof. Also read that Walmart will not require masks for employees but I didn’t read if they would require proof. Just last week my hair stylist said Governor Kemp of GA had lifted the mandate for salon and restaurant workers. About the only thing he’s done right lately. And of course, in reading about all of the red states that are passing no vaccine passport laws and sanctuary gun state laws you never see Georgia in that same context. God forgive me but if we could just get rid of Atlanta we might have a chance.

    …“the end result is a country full of people who can barely support themselves, let alone a family, and the consequent loss of all the psychological infrastructure for a society that can respect itself… who doesn’t wonder whether normal is really a thing of the past now, disappearing in the rear-view mirror?”

    The concept of “normal” has been vaporized like the once-robust great manufacturing powerhouse that was America. Who knew back in the 1960s when Off-Shoring of American jobs became a thing that the end result would also be the off-loading of the American Dream and the American Spirit and the hope of having a healthy and prosperous society. The Decline of America began slowly back then – almost in secret among the masses – and then like a deranged bowling ball rushing downhill began to pick up speed as the decades passed along up to today. We now have a general public afflicted with a massive case of PTSD who instead of hoping for great things now just wishes to get through each day with at least a few crumbs left from what they started with. The American Dream became the America Scream. The Manifest Destiny has turned into Manifest Pain and Suffering.

    The eternal goal of the very tiny few of the World being able to control the lives of the very many of the World is almost completely achieved. Most every aspect of our lives is now under the total control and scrutiny of a tiny few with oversized delusions of false godhood and entitlement. One may not believe the words of the Bible. But has there been a more accurate description of our current times than that written in the Book of Revelation… with The Mark of The Beast and all? And all that Tribulation stuff?

    Americans have been brought up with movies and television. One of the fundamental features of these forms of communication is the Happy Ending. Why commit hours of your day to a story that just ends with doom and gloom? The audience demands the Happy Ending where all the problems are solved, the Leading Man always gets the Leading Lady, and a bright future for all is assured. Americans are not used to NOT getting the Happy Ending.

    Problem is… those who are currently writing the Script For America are not intending to include that happy feature for their audience. And sadly, much of the audience has lost the will to even hope for it anymore.

    Perhaps the answer is to stop sitting passively in the audience and to start writing a much better story.

        Religion–at least properly, according to Christianity, if not always in practice–affirms that each individual person is a creature of incalculable dignity and glory.

        Our masters would prefer that we view ourselves as mere mechanisms for eating and procreating–of no value whatsoever to ourselves, but potentially having some usefulness to them. Or not.

        I tend to think that ones view of oneself is an either/or proposition that is a choice between these two alternatives.

            If you are dealing with an “almighty overseer” it would seem best to consider our arrogance, ignorance and stupidity are all considered when we were called.

          Sounds like he must have been a Second Amendment enthusiast, in reverse. The Second Amendment right to bear arms was included entirely to put down slave riots. But it has been used to terrorise minorities since at least 1865.

            There weren’t many “slave riots” in America 1789-1861. I think the second amendment was written more with hostile Indians in mind.

    USA cities are in meltdown.

    2017, Philadelphians elected ‘progressive prosecutor’
    Larry Krasner as district attorney,” with funding and support from Far Left billionaire George Soros. How has he done? As reported by the City Journal,

    “Under Krasner, Philadelphia is on track to set two city records: the lowest number of felony prosecutions in modern history and the highest number of homicides. Last year was grim enough, as a 30-year low in felony cases prosecuted coincided with 499 homicides—more than New York, which has five times the population, and one shy of the record, reached in 1990 at the height of the crack epidemic. In 2021, the body count is on track to surpass 600. In just six years, the number of homicides in Philadelphia has doubled.” !!!

Sometimes I wonder whether he is safe on the street where he lives. I bet he has body guards paid for by the USG.

            None of the gene-based shots have had full clinical trials.

            Good luck with the clots.

            islander

            I did actually check after writing that post and saw that the approval was provisional, because of the emergency. I did say I was happy to be corrected.

            The vaccines went through phase 1, 2 and 3 trials (including animal trials, on mice and macaques in the case of Pfizer, I think). These were done concurrently instead of sequentially.

            Also, production was started before approval, at considerable financial risk. This was stated up front, and was the reason why the UK government bought stocks of at least 10 front-running vaccines in advance of approval. This was so that UK citizens would have vaccines at their disposal even in one or two of them – and specifically AZ – might not prove to be safe or effective.

            I think you misunderstand the blood clot risk (which exists). If you didn’t get clots following the first jab, you won’t get it after the second one, let alone ages later, so your good luck wishes aren’t necessary, thank you.

            And a person is between 100 and 200 times more likely to get blood clots from the contraceptive pill, so I hope you are doing your bit propagandising against that as well.

            In addition, blood clots from Covid itself are 100 more prevalent than in the general population, so there’s that.

          • GreenAlba May 19, 2021 at 3:31 pm #

            You could conduct trials on 40,000 people or however many you like, and wait ten years for follow up, but you are highly unlikely to come across blood clots that only appear once in a million people, unless you conduct clinical trials involving 5 million people. Good luck with that.

            Blood clots are an extremely rare reaction that happens very soon after vaccination. The same 40,000 people followed up for 50 years won’t help you with that.

      I have searched extensively for any confirmation of McCullogh’s dubious claim and cannot find any such ‘law’.

      I did find this though, explaining how NZ medical researchers were (and still are) actively testing HQC for any level of provable efficacy for CIVID-19. Seems a little weird to then make its prescription illegal, especially when GPs all over the country, are prescribing it for rheumatic conditions and autoimmune failures such as lupus.

    Apologies if this appears twice. I accidentally posted my response to GA below on Friday’s comments. Then I teied here and it acted goofy … so, sorry, GA, for having an old iPad 2.0 and exetremely finite funds. It must be awful for you.

    GA,

    So a blood clot? Puh-leeze.
    But I do think that even 20 years ago, without the benefit of hundreds of thousands of examples of eye-opening 4-colour imagery as I’ve had to handle every day, a blot clot would not particularly faze me. Maybe it’s a femaie thing. Maybe you need a big, fluffy psychological blanky when it comes to everyday anatomy and pathology.
    Anyway, this was your comment:
    “Yuck is in the eye of the beholder, GA. Maybe it bothers me more than it does you on account of I know Satan Better than do you.”
    I really need you to explain to me what in the world that means.
    Because it seems to me that (if your nonsense meant anything at all) that it would mean the opposite.
    You are telling me that you can comtemplate with HAPPINESS the burning for eternity of human flesh, but you are a big Jessie when it comes to a blood clot? Really?

    You are correct. I chose Physics and Chemistry once Science split in Grade 10 or 11. The 3rd discipline was Biology while I studied anatomy on an extra-circular basis.

    Medical shit makes me look for an Exit. Maybe it was psychological damage from being treated like a cow for weeks and weeks after suffering “the worst separated should that [the specialist] have ever seen” in 1983.

    Not my thing. I remember someone in high school having a photograph of a local Saskatchewan boy who had blown his head off with a shotgun in a half ton. My peers jeered me as I was the only boy who would not look at the photograph. This was 1982ish. Way before the word “unsee” was even invented. Almost 40 years later, I am still Happy with my stand that day and that I never did see that image.

    As far as knowing Satan, I can simply assure you that he is very much Real and that he rules this planet (Right now). I can’t provide a link but I know what I know. I’ve been a watcher of the fulfillment of His Word since 1981.

    Everybody has to do their own Research on God v Satan.

    Well it may be the Devil
    Or it may be the Lord
    But you’re gonna have to serve somebody

    – Bob Dylan

    So, I avoid medical shit and then I look at that pic of some Hollywood alien thing that unnaturally came out of a previously healthy woman, my anger at Satan and his tactics boil over. Is that a problem?

    Besides that, please stop building this strawman already, GA. I would be Happy to live under Truth & Justice after living in this crooked shithole for 56 years. Ya, a lot of evil people will get what they deserve.

    But don’t blame me! It’s not my script and, when it all does unfold exactly as God has told us that it will, I will know that The Truth Really matters and that will make me very Happy indeed.

    So, if you deeming that my Happiness in the Lord’s Infinite Wisdom and meted Truth & Justice is some sort of a betrayal to the scumbags that swing their dicks around this place, then so be it. Call me OG, LHB or LBH or whatever you like, GA. Let’s all enjoy our Free Speech while we still have it.

    And I’d particularly like you to clarify the connection between Satan, in this instance, and the fact that the picture was of a blood clot cause by Covid19 and not by a vaccine.
    Particularly in view of the fact that a person is far more likely to get such a blood clot from the disease than from the vaccine.

    Gates & Faucci have been working on this since AIDS. They worked on these, what? 6? vaxxes since SARS in 2003. They off-shored the virus, released it, had the vax ready to roll and here we are.

    The disease and the cure are both part of their plan.

    ——

    As I indicated, GA, I had no concern as to whatever question you had asked on the previous JHK comment. I’m here for no other reason than to seek and share The Truth and to Hopefully flick a few light switches as other souls do the same.

    I don’t make stuff up. I’m brutal at making shit up. Rather, I’ve gotten myself into many, many scrapes on account of my Honesty.

      Well that was a lot of words to say not very much that makes any sense. It still seems that, while you agree you’re a big Jessie when it comes to a simple blood clot (I have no idea what ‘the worst separated should’ means, although it clearly involves a typo or a missing word) while the thought of burning human flesh forever doesn’t intimidate your tender psyche one bit. Calling it a straw man doesn’t change that.

      It doesn’t bother me at all that you use an iPad – I’m using an old laptop that keeps crashing. But you moaned on several occasions that you had missed replies and were quite rude to me, as if I hadn’t replied. Note that you also suggested today, with your usual tedious sarcasm, that the vaxx might clean my car or pick up my dry cleaning, as if you knew that I had a car (I don’t) or that I buy stuff that needs dry cleaning (I don’t, either). Those are odd comments to make for a person with extremely finite funds. Perhaps our experience of extremely finite funds is rather different.

        Perhaps I am squeamish of medical shit because of the way that I was treated like a slab of beef for weeks after suffering what the zero-bedside-manner old fart specialist Dr. told me was “the worst separated shoulder that [he had] ever seen.” Having the pin removed was the worst 5 minutes of my life while that old fart didn’t waste even the standard freezing on me.

Those are odd comments to make for a person with extremely finite funds. Perhaps our experience of extremely finite funds is rather different.

        Sarcasm to the point of absurdity is a trait I acquired my from 1/4 Irish ancestry (Mother’s Mother’s family). I cracked the joke and never once thought if car-ownership actually applies to you, GA. It was a joke with the intent of demonstrating that your speculation of bonus common cold protection from your jab is possible notwithstanding the vast majority of vax side-effects are, in fact, negative rather than positive.

        I spent 22 years on Bay Street (Canada’s Wall Street). I know of having my dry-cleaning dropped-off and picked-up for me. I know leasing brand new Jeep Grand Cherokees and Honda Pilots. I grossed over $6,000,000 circa 1992-2016.

        First off, debt levels were higher during WWII than they are now. Second, the world is willing to lend us money on very good terms for long periods of time. If one can borrow at 2 percent for thirty years and use that money to invest in something that has a higher rate of return than 2 percent, it is wise to borrow that money. Third, the cost of debt service is what matters, and that figure remains very reasonable.

            I agree entirely, that investment in early childhood (and much else) are “very good things” to do – who could not? And lots of other hippie stuff besides.

            But that wasn’t the point you were making – you were talking about cold hard cash – borrow at 2%, invest at 5%, and make a profit. That is a very rare beast.

            The best thing they could do would to build 20 excellent state-of-the-art gas-fired power stations, and maybe a dozen nuclear ones … and sack John Kerry and all the climate wrist-slashers.

            It really is fucking nonsense. We need reliable electricity, and renewables CANNOT deliver it – plus the human contribution to CO2 concentrations are really trivial.

          • Enough Already May 18, 2021 at 8:22 am #

            I actually was making that very point. In terms of hard dollars and cents, an investment in early childhood education, for example, has a higher return than 2 percent. Take a look at the paper that I sent you. The numbers are pretty stark. It’s anywhere from a 400 percent to 800 percent return on investment over the course of a lifetime. The only difference is that the return comes in the form of things like increased tax revenue and from not having to spend money on welfare, prison, etc.

            Why do you think that human beings’ contribution to carbon emissions is negligible? It’s true that there’s an awful lot of carbon cycling naturally through our planet’s systems, but we’re the only ones digging sequestered carbon out from deep under the earth and emitting that particular store of carbon into the atmosphere. In other words, our digging sequestered carbon and burning it is the only additional carbon in the system. How do you explain the 50 percent increase in carbon in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution, the fastest increase in all of geological history by far? You seem to trust the science on vaccinations. Why not with climate science?

            Also, the government doesn’t invest in power plants. That’s the private sector’s job. And the private sector is investing in renewables because that’s where they can make the most money, not because they want to save the planet. It’s true that it’s tough to get to 100 percent intermittent renewable energy systems. We’ll probably be burning some natural gas to balance the renewables for some time to come. That said, I’m extremely optimistic on the science and commercial viability of green hydrogen. I think that’s the technology that could very well make a 100 percent renewable energy system technically and commercially possible.

I agree with you that soil degradation is a major problem. I also think that modern capitalism is creating a dangerous level of wealth disparity. That said, I’m optimistic that human ingenuity and good policy can fix those problems, as tends to be the story. I have serious doubt, for example, that we’ll be using anywhere near the level of oil in 2050 as we do today, not because we’ve run out of oil, but rather because we’ve moved on to superior technologies. No doubt there are exceptions and that societies do collapse. I’m highly skeptical that that’s what’s coming, but hey, I could be wrong. I’m wrong about lots of things. What I struggle to understand is why so many people seem to wake up every morning rooting for collapse, and all of the misery and death and poverty and suffering that that would entail. It just seems like a really sad way to live one’s life.

            I do, personally, “root” in a sense for collapse… why? As the lesser of two evils. I see every year of forward progress on current paths (“in denial” in my view) as making future adjustments more painful, more horrific. I “root” not for pain but for lessening it.

            There’s a lot of human pain right now in current systems. In my view, those whobsee current trajectories as positives are often, when rubber meets road, not truly cognizant of the contemporary pain which is plays a large part, I believe, in “collapse-desire.” It’s a sort of revolutionary position, though it melds elements from contemporary “left” and “right” political skews.

            While I “root” for collapse, I root for the most reason-led, pain-free paths towards more balanced social systems, although I’m often less than optimistic about human abilities to achieve them tbh.

            There certainly is a lot of pain in our current system. There’s far too much for my liking, certainly. That said, the modern economy has reduced poverty levels to rates that the world has never before seen, extended life expectancy, eradicated a host of very unpleasant and painful diseases and maladies, and enabled people to achieve a level of education and basic comfort (think electricity and indoor plumbing) that kings even two hundred years ago could never have dreamt of attaining. So there’s still a lot of work to do, but I have no desire to see the achievements we’ve made disappear in a grand collapse, and I continue to be a firm believer that a maker-based system that rewards risk taking and investment, plus our enormous frontal lobes will yield the technologies that we need to course correct as needed.

            We sit on two sides of a fence.

            disclosure, my personal view is that ideal human societies are best represented by hunter/gatherer tribes such as australian aborigines (till 400 years ago), or new guinea highlanders, or tribes in the amazon, or vikings, or african tribes native to the congo

            Modern medicine is extremely important. Here’s where I start to have a certain amount of frustration with Jim’s romanticizing the days of yore. The quality of life for the vast majority of people throughout history was miserable. They got sick all the time, they had no heat during the winter, they were often hungry, crop failures resulted in widespread famine and death, etc. For example, Jim would love to see the collapse of the modern food production and distribution system. He’s got a garden in his yard and everything! But then last year, his crop failed because of a localized pest issue. So what happens then? Well, throughout history, what happened then was people starved to death and died. That contrasts with what happens now in a developed economy. My food comes from a diverse portfolio of geographic regions and through a diverse portfolio of distribution channels. So even when there’s a crop failure in the American midwest or Brazil or Mexico or (insert the name of place here), the diversification of that portfolio insulates me from the effects of that localized failure. I fundamentally disagree with Jim that the modern day production system is more fragile than a localized agrarian community. Quite the opposite is true. And the data bears that out. There is much less hunger now than there has been at any point in human history.

            I’m enjoying this conversation.

          • gustafson.robert.22 May 18, 2021 at 1:30 pm #

            Hey, yeah.

            My answer on the medicine issue is that you have to go back at least 400 years to intact primitive societies to have an accurate comparison. The post-colonial, globalized and petroleum-dependent world has altered almost every diet and health balance for almost every society worldwide. So the world is “addicted” in a way to what modern medicine provides now as part of the whole system package.

            Your assumptions about hardships in human life throughout history sound heavily skewed towards the history of complex agricultural civilizations to me. (Which is most of recorded human history, but leaves out much of non-intensive-agriculture-based human culture and history.)

            Yes, primitive life could be more “subject to the elements” than modern life in some ways, but actually, hunter/gatherer tribal life’s system of sustenance was extremely diversified… in comparison to that of historical agricultural cultures… diversified in a way that mimics the safety in diversification you describe in the (very artificial and hydrocarbon-dependent) modern global agricultural system.

            I think I disagree with Jim K in a similar way to you regarding “old-timey” agricultural living being a positive thing. Farming without hydrocarbons is hard, short-lived, and particularly subject to failure and famine.

            Hunter/gather life, by contrast, is historically a diversified, resilient and sustainable system.

Nor do I have any interest in ever waking up in the middle of the night thinking I was going to freeze to death because my fire went out (despite my -20 degree Peace Corps-issued down sleeping bag), or in having a tooth pulled without modern anesthesia!

            I must admit I remain incredibly agnostic, and have read a lot on this debate – and the science on “both sides”.

            My scepticism mostly stems from (1) the forcing effect of increased CO2, and whether it’s being over-stated, but mostly (2) I am deeply sceptical that heading for “zero emissions” by 2030 or 2050 is realistic. I think not.

            I think it is the reality that we cannot construct a reliable 24/7 energy system from wind turbines, solar panels, and vast batteries. Small contributors like hydro and geothermal won’t make up the difference. Both physically and financially a shift from fossil fuels is currently unattainable.

            But I confess that I’m quite confused by all the arguments – very reasonable (and smart) people hold very firm views on “both sides” of the debate. And it is a debate that is critical to every society on the planet.

            However in the case of AGW – there are serious scientists / climatologists who are very sceptical about the earth getting hotter as a result of human-caused CO2 emissions. I’m not being adamant that they’re right – but their arguments are much more interesting than the anti-vax nuts.

            According to NASA, 97 percent of peer-reviewed articles attribute climate change to human activity. That level of consensus is almost unheard of in the scientific community, and is likely higher than the level of consensus regarding anything to do with COVID.

      In my neck of the woods, a very large East Coast megalopolis, cranes are everywhere, restaurants are open and starting to get crowded again […]

      There might very well be a two-speed (at least) economy.

      Personally I share JHK’s pessimistic vision about the future of “American life” out there in Flatland – for all the reasons he outlines, including spiritless unsustainable suburbs, too many jobs being low-level and in the service industries, and many decent jobs (education, health care, government services, law enforcement, land management, etc) all needing to be paid out of a public purse that is strained and debt-riddled.

      JHK has talked muchly about the hollowing out of the working and middle classes, and archaeology of the recent past, with a huge manufacturing base from Hoboken to Minneapolis a mere shadow of what it was.

      I know there are some viable industries still running – traditional ones like aerospace and military contractors, through to farming, food processing, mining, oil, and lumber, etc – but many of the sunrise industries are in the fairy-dust area – social media, web content, and other aspects of the “information” and entertainment arena.

      They are not productive, in the sense that making cars, clothes, electronics, tools, machinery, butter, or building materials are.

      Particularly in view of the fact that a person is far more likely to get such a blood clot from the disease than from the vaccine.

      Gates & Faucci have been working on this since AIDS. They worked on these, what? 6? vaxxes since SARS in 2003. They off-shored the virus, released it, had the vax ready to roll and here we are.

      The disease and the cure are both part of their plan.

            Vaccines and the associated clinical trials/safety testing usually take anywhere from 5-10 years.

            “Vaccine” takers are injecting an untested experimental substance to combat a virus that most people on earth have a 98-99 percent chance of surviving with no treatment whatsoever.

      • Night Owl May 18, 2021 at 2:29 am #

        Wrong tense, Farmgal, they already have. There have already been more injuries and deaths from the Corona shots than for all vaccinations combined over the past approx. 30 years.

        And those are just the cases we know about.

        Many experts have predicted that things are going to be far worse over the coming months as test subjects encounter coronaviruses in the “wild.”

        This has been discussed in detail over at the Stiftung Corona Ausschuss.

          tekapo, are you familiar with the old adage, where there is smoke, there is usually a fire. Your statement about the courts ring hollow as our utterly corrupt judicial system, all the way to the supreme, would not hear the evidence of ballots shipped from N.Y. to Penn.,the blatant fraud on video in Atlanta, states that counted more ballots than registered voters etc, etc, etc. The courts refused to consider the evidence. You seem to be of the mindset that if you repeat a lie long enough, it becomes the truth. Just like our corrupt msm and politicians. Common sense should tell everyone that it was impossible for Bidet to win the election. I forget the exact number, but Trump received about 10 million more votes than he did in his first run and drew massive crowds to his rally’s, while Biden could barely fill up ones living room with supporters.
          The next election won’t be any better, without eliminating the internet connected Dominion machines and using paper ballots with no mail in voting, but for extreme circumstance. Mail in voting makes it too easy to cheat. Personally, I don’t believe it is possible to fix this mess of a country by voting. I hope I am wrong, but I believe violence is inevitable.

            I am familiar with the old adage indeed, however in this “modern” world where fake news abounds, and any old stuff thrown up on a website becomes “viral truth” – one needs to have one’s BS Detector finely tuned and in good working order.

            It was not that courts refused to hear evidence – no-one presented anything credible to them – lots of rumors, hearsay, affidavits, and wild assertions (from the liked of the Kraken Lady and Giuliani), but nothing concrete and credible.

            And it is entirely possible that President Biden receive more votes that Trump – rallies are not indicators of support, they are only signs of people who like rallies, despite a pandemic.

            Trump may have polled more votes than in 2016, but as a percentage of votes cast, his percentage was less – still below the critical 50% in the swing states.

            I think the reason is quite straightforward: Joe Biden didn’t set the nation on fire with his soaring rhetoric, but millions of additional people simply could not countenance another four years of the Trump circus … they were heartily sick of it.

            Anyway – it’s a bit like discussing religion – it doesn’t matter what each side argues, they’re not going to change the view of the other.

            The next election won’t be any better, without eliminating the internet connected Dominion machines and using paper ballots with no mail in voting, but for extreme circumstance. Mail in voting makes it too easy to cheat.

            Quite a few states (including red ones) have been using universal (or no excuse) mail-in voting for years. No claims of massive fraud – because there wasn’t any, not in 2020 or any other cycle.

            But okay – I’ll do a deal with you: separate out ballot papers for federal elections (president, senate, house) versus state-county ones for a start.

            Have federal election procedures fair and uniform across the nation – and this includes the elimination of voter suppression in all its forms, including the gross gerrymander of congress districts.

            Have widespread voter education and registration drives, keep the rolls up-to-date, with no purges, and other nefarious tactics that suppress minority votes. Lots of polling booths, an extended period of early voting time, including evenings, and the two weekends prior to the “election day”, plenty of conveniently located drop-boxes, and much else.

            Same day registration and a provisional vote for anyone who believes they are (or should be) on the roll. If voter ID is such a big issue for some people, then okay – but the range of valid ID formats must be as wide as possible.

            I agree that mail-in ballots should be properly signed, but mostly they are controlled by the audit trail provided by barcodes etc. Allowing people to “cure” their mailed in ballot should be legal too.

            Do we have a deal?

            The goal should be to make voting safe, convenient, and fair – and maximising the number of people who participate. But as many Republicans have stated (including Trump) – if lots of people vote than Republicans can’t win.

            That is the nub of the issue, and I think we all know it.

          This requires an assumption – not shared by everyone – that Global Warming is being caused by humans pumping additional CO2 into the atmosphere.

          This is far from settled science – even though much of the world seems hell-bent on killing reliable power generation (coal-gas-nuclear), and building out a hugely expensive and very inefficient wind-solar-battery world. EVs will make it much less attainable.

          In my view there is no conspiracy to reduce human numbers – whether through a virus, its vaccines, or something else. There is however a weird world-wide conspiracy in relation to human-caused CO2 being the devil … I can’t buy that one either.

          Lots of other bigger factors cause climate fluctuations.

        There are too many people, THEY say. Most of the people have to go away, very soon.

        There is too much unbelievably dangerous covid-19 among the people, THEY say. For health and safety, most of the people must be vaccinated with experimental concoctions, very soon.

        These two propositions are logically inconsistent.

        Do the math. Come to think of it, perhaps this is why “maff” is now suddenly “racist”.

        By the way, math cannot be racist. Sociology, political science, communications, anthropology,
        and history can all be racist, but not math.

        However, a math problem can certainly be posed in a racist way, but it is the poser who is racist, not the math. For example, Hitler’s “Final Solution” was racist (or at least ethnicist), but the math used to calculate the approximate number of cattle cars required was not racist.

    Right you are, James– Hyperinflation is on the way!

    To add a hard data point, the exchange rate between the Canadian Dollar and the US Dollar is usually right around 0.75, ie., 75 cents US buys 1 Canadian Dollar.

    Last week, when I transferred some CDN to the US to pay US bills, the exchange rate was 0.80. “Way cool!” I thought, “I gained 5% purchasing power on my Canadian money!”
    Today it is up to 0.83.
    Bank of Canada is very upset, since it makes Canadian products less price-competitive. But even they don’t expect the exchange rate to go back down “until the Fall of 2021.”
    Watch this one Jim. Since Canada’s economy is based on exporting lumber, oil and minerals, if the CDN $ continues to climb past Sept 2021, it’s likely that this is actually measuring USD inflation.

    Forget Bitcoin folks! Load up on Canadian money while you can– You’d be ‘Loonie’ not to….

    • Enough Already May 17, 2021 at 7:53 pm #

      Hyperinflation is usually defined as 50 percent inflation per month. That is not going to happen. Will we have slightly higher CPI this year? Maybe. Is that the end of the world? I have a fixed rate mortgage at 3.25 percent, so if inflation is slightly higher than that, I actually make money on my mortgage in real terms. For debtors, a little bit of inflation can be a very positive thing.

      • Tekapo May 18, 2021 at 2:29 am #

        For debtors, a little bit of inflation can be a very positive thing.

        Also for those with income from cash and other interest-bearing deposits – a higher interest rate is always nice.

    • Islander May 17, 2021 at 9:09 pm #

      ” Load up on Canadian money while you can– You’d be ‘Loonie’ not to….”

      How do you do that?

    • O.G. Hawkins May 17, 2021 at 9:28 pm #

      FWIW – I see your logic, AP, but, from this Canadian’s perspective, if Americans want to diversify risk away from all of one’s financial assets in US$, I’d take delivery on physical Gold &/or Silver rather than switch into yet another digital currency neck-deep in the fiat sea of debt.

      They can’t Reset physical Gold & Silver hidden in your flour cannister but they sure as Hell will include C$ when doing The Great Reset.

      • aibohphobia May 18, 2021 at 12:57 am #

        O G Hawkins, of course you are right about PM’s , and Islander, very few people have the skills and luck to make money on currency speculation.

        I am mostly pointing out that the C$ has taken a jog upwards. Usually it goes down again pretty quickly because that is a financial goal of the Canadian Government.

        I can’t remember Government ever admitting that they may not be able to get the exchange rate back down again for 4 months. This tells me that the Financial Managers are losing control of the system.

        If the CDN/USD exchange rate remains high/goes higher, it is possibly one marker for international monetary instability.

        • O.G. Hawkins May 18, 2021 at 2:07 pm #

          Good point. Canada’s economy runs Best at an equilibrium of US$0.75. If external forces cause C$ to swing up to US$0.83, the Bank of Canada’s only recourse is to raise interests to attract international investment into C$ gov’t debt but our COVID economy sure doesn’t need interest rate hikes and the BofC can’t mop up US$0.08 in any regard.

          Canada is a fly on the US Fed’s back. We exist but can only react as the act.

          US Fed manipulation of uneconomic, non-market near-zero interest rates forever has skewed everything economic. Shitholes sell for more than a mil to be bulldozed in Vancouver. Over a mil for a city lot! Removing interest rates from the Free Market allowed the Capstone to loot Western Civilization clean.

          —–

          I remember being 5 or 6 and crossing the border to visit my Great-grandparents in Plentywood, Montana. At the time, a Canadian dollar (still a paper bill – long before Loonies) was worth US$1.05. I couldn’t believe it! “Our dollar is worth more than their dollar?” It is my earliest memory of feeling national Pride but it must have already been there by then.

          A year or 2 later Phil Esposito threw the whole country on his back and refused to lose to the Commie Ruskies in Sept. 1972 and being a Proud Canadian was written on our souls.

          • O.G. Hawkins May 18, 2021 at 10:47 pm #

            Sorry. I got that Wrong.

            The Bank of Canada’s only possible way to counter an US$0.08 increase in exchande rate is to lower interest rates on Cdn gov’t debt to decrease demand for C$ and its exchange rate.

            However, we live in a chronic zero-interest uneconomic, anti-Free Market US Fed-engineered sham of a fiat Petro-Dollar Global Economy with free money forever.

            Negative interest rates exist but are an unsustainable blasphemy against the time value of money.

            There is no more wiggle room. Therefore, BofC are pretty much along for the ride.

          • KappaJoe May 19, 2021 at 4:11 pm #

            That must have been right after Kennedy was murdered in ’63. THEY immediately cancelled the US domestic silver standard as a result, and the Canadian exchange rate immediately shot up for a few years. However, by ’68, Canada got with the program and instituted their own silver demonetization – same crap government as in the US (it’s almost a conspiracy!)

    Redneck Liberal, re the Mueller Report, exemplary in terms of wasting time and money, the whole sorry-assed escapade showing the degradation of the American Deep State and its investigative agencies and especially the justice system but also the political class.

    What was Mueller tasked with? Supposedly to find evidence of collusion between Trump and the Russians and to find evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

    But anybody who was anybody knew what bollocks that was because they knew full well that the Russian angle was full of shit from top to bottom, that it served as pretext, that the real intent was to find ANYTHING to oust Trump from the presidency. Barring that, to delegitimize his election win, you know, where there’s smoke there’s fire, they wouldn’t be investigating if there was nothing there, all that crap we’ve heard a thousand times. And to impede the conduct of his administration, to bog down the Trump mammoth in a tar-pit of investigative obstruction.

    And what did they find? Bugger all. Trump survived. No indictments even though we were many, many times assured by people who assured us that they knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that indictments were coming. How many times did we hear that they turned a corner, that the walls were closing in? How many times did the evening news announce a “bombshell”.

    Bombshell after bombshell, but how many were retracted as inaccurate after the passage of a day or two? Collusion? It is to laugh. Interference? Just as ludicrous, far from an election bought by Putin, amounting to a hill of beans in a multi-billion dollar campaign.

    So, after all that noise, nada. Yeah, ominous sounding verbiage in the report. And from the vaunted media and “thinking-class”, a bunch of stuff about road-maps to impeachment. But it was all talking cock.

    And an astonishing thing that was given that Trump spent his life in two notoriously mobbed up industries, casinos and real estate. Either Trump is as clean as a hound’s tooth or Mueller and his boys were the most incompetent gang of fools set loose on what should have been a target rich environment.

    There’s a whole bunch of things that can be simultaneously true, in seeming contradiction only because political divides in the US preclude rational thought. The vehemence is such that it is beyond the self-control of almost all Americans of opposing affiliations to dispassionately assess Trump, who he is and how he got there. Can’t be done.

    What you can’t say because nobody will listen is that he’s a mixed bag, he was no traitor, he had some valid policy goals, but that he was in no way, shape or form cut out for the job. He just didn’t have the leadership or managerial chops, nor the character nor the intellect.

    And, especially, he had no Deep State institutional support. Trump is as red-hot an iron as abortion or evolution. Mention his name and to the barricades we go.

    In my view the Mueller affair was a fiasco. Hard to say it any other way. It was harassment of someone not expected to win, and a fiasco, a disgrace, a debacle, an epic fuck up, and it was an illegitimate attempt to overturn an election. And it failed.

    • KesaAnna May 17, 2021 at 9:28 pm #

      ” And an astonishing thing that was given that Trump spent his life in two notoriously mobbed up industries, casinos and real estate. Either Trump is as clean as a hound’s tooth or Mueller and his boys were the most incompetent gang of fools set loose on what should have been a target rich environment. ”

      Maybe that wouldn’t be abstract enough ?

      Al Capone began his career with murder for hire , and pimping. And apparently never really left those two occupations behind either.

      But he got nailed on tax evasion .

      The whole thing raised an eyebrow , at least to me .

      Granted , it is a theory I cannot prove , but my suspicion is that they would go after him for pimping because the politicians and police were themselves neck – deep complicit in prostitution.

      ( And on this score Chicago was hardly an exception or aberration. Time was , practically every town in America of sufficient size had a red light district , and looking the other way was practically traditional. )

      And while politicians and police may not have been directly complicit in the murders , they were complicit in the business that was the primary occasion for these murders.

      ( But , hey , Prohibition was a textbook case of political bullshit. It looked good on paper. In reality it was bat shit. )

      But tax evasion ?

      That is a story designed from the get – go to make the readers eyes glaze over. And I suspect that was the very intent of it.

      • KesaAnna May 17, 2021 at 9:57 pm #

        America , like Russia and China , are practically worlds unto themselves.

        And in all three countries , foreigners and their countries always make for good boogeymen , even despite how ludicrous the notion is on its face.

        In practically being worlds unto themselves , these foreign countries might as well be on Mars.

        That’s actually a ” good ” thing.

        A case too grounded in concrete , in – your – face realities a bad thing.

      • volodya May 17, 2021 at 10:20 pm #

        So you’re saying that they went after Capone for tax evasion so as to not impede his lucrative illegal businesses which were paying bent cops and probably judges and prosecutors and DAs and who knows who else?

        Good theory, after all, after Capone was locked up Nitti and Accardo and Greasy Thumb Guzik took over and the money kept flowing.

        So, what accounts for Mueller’s non-results as far as Trump goes? His business sailed on unmolested. Was Mueller warned off? Did he accidentally uncover crimes by big name Democrats and have to veer off?

        • KesaAnna May 17, 2021 at 10:52 pm #

          ” So you’re saying that they went after Capone for tax evasion so as to not impede his lucrative illegal businesses which were paying bent cops and probably judges and prosecutors and DAs and who knows who else?

          In simple terms , yes.

          In terms I would have to write a book about ;

          ” So, what accounts for Mueller’s non-results as far as Trump goes? His business sailed on unmolested. Was Mueller warned off? Did he accidentally uncover crimes by big name Democrats and have to veer off? ”

          But I’ll attempt a sound bite.

          The first , last , and ultimate mistake people make about criminal justice is the assumption that it is about justice.

          Sorry folks , it isn’t.

          It is political.

          • volodya May 17, 2021 at 11:11 pm #

            Sure, yes, it is political, the multiple investigations of Trump the prime exhibit, the lack of prosecutions of Wall Street bankers for their many, many, many criminal infractions another, similarly, the “no criminal intent” assessment by Comey, whose call it was never even his to make. No matter, it would have been “no criminal intent” whoever would have made the call. The legal brilliance of those three words was too precious to waste.

      I see your perspective but don’t completely buy it.

      Compared to the Klown Kar parade of Benghazi hearings and Starr’s Special Counsel investigation of Slick Willy in the ’90s, I’d have to say that the Mueller Investigation was a relative success.

      https://time.com/5556331/mueller-investigation-indictments-guilty-pleas/

      However, I couldn’t agree with you more on this:

      “What you can’t say because nobody will listen is that he’s a mixed bag, he was no traitor, he had some valid policy goals, but that he was in no way, shape or form cut out for the job. He just didn’t have the leadership or managerial chops, nor the character nor the intellect.

    ASOCIAL.

    Maybe Google Asocial – Nazis for some background ?

    An exceedingly popular word in the Third Reich since , after all , Jews , Gypsies , and flaming homosexuals are only 2% of the population anyway , so they really only have quite limited utility when it comes to pushing policies which are way over – board control – freakish.

    And my guess is ” Asocial ” would be as explicable in English as in German.

    Asocials wore a black triangle as a matter of fact.

    But I suppose that would be pushing the Nazi association too far.

    Best to just stick with the term Asocial , and two – thirds of the population at least would never be any the wiser.

    Flashback to 1953.

    I was a tyke and measles, chickenpox and mumps were the “big three”.

    Nasty mom that she was (bless her soul), she adopted the “rule of the day” for me and my 2 sisters…expose ’em all and let ‘er rip.

    And so she did and this is what happened:

    I vaguely remember getting measles, eventhough millions worldwide died of it.

    Chickenpox was a bit nastier. Lots of itching and scratching, but not nearly as bad as smallpox, back before it was eradicated. I remember leafing thru the Encyclopedia Britannica in bed and learning what a boa constrictor was. Got the shingles vax…no problems (so far).

    Mumps was another story. I remember the 105 degree fever and mom’s insistence on cold baths. Up and down, up and down for what seemed like days. But mom’s persistence with the remedy of the day won out and I survived to actually father 2 daughters…wonder of wonders.

    Which brings us to covid. Chill, peeps. We have a vaccine which is not going to put folks who’ve chosen to avail themselves of it in their graves. If you choose not to have the vaxy, that’s your choice. Good for you…I respect your decision not to.

    My life is limited now and I’m going on with it, thank you very much.

      I remember measles as dreadful. Sick as a dog. Would gladly have expired. Mumps was bad too. But for some reason doesn’t loom as large in my memory. Chicken pox for some reason didn’t hit me as bad as the others.

      Re covid, my niece got it a couple months ago. She’s 29. Made her sick as can be. Lost her sense of taste and smell. She’s back on her feet, taste and smell came back. I know of an older guy, father in law of a friend. Got sick with covid and died.

        I wish some of the complete nut-fudge on here (and there’s a few) would read such reports … they all believe the corona is just a “hilarious hoax”, and part of The Great Reset agenda from Gates / Soros / Schwab / Illuminati. Possibly the Knights Templar are in on it for all I know.

      I was a tyke and measles, chickenpox and mumps were the “big three”.

      Yes indeed – I remember all three (still have the chickenpox scars) – and also contracted polio – I had been vaccinated with both (Salk/Sabin) so I didn’t get the paralysis at all … but it was a tough couple of weeks in a darkened room.

      I’m also fast approaching the quarter of my existence, and I will get the appropriate covid-19 vax as well … probably Pfizer. My DNA is set in stone, it ain’t gonna be changed by a jab.

    • volodya May 18, 2021 at 12:07 am #

      What scared me as a kid was polio. I saw kids that caught it, one up the street. He ended up using leg braces and crutches the rest of his short life. He died in his teens but I can’t remember what from. Nasty, nasty shit was that polio.

      • Tekapo May 18, 2021 at 2:59 am #

        My dad describes his summer of polio. His sister contracted it. This was in a tiny Kansas town. The four kids were only allowed to play with each other and were restricted to the yard. The sister lost the use of her legs and used crutches and a wheelchair thereafter. She did make big news many years later when she married and had a baby. She did not live to a normal lifespan. She contracted post-polio syndrome and it affected her heart. What was interesting was none of her siblings contracted the disease and neither did any other child in that town.

  50. Ron Anselmo May 18, 2021 at 12:09 am #

    In the all out push of marketing the jab, in light of the slack in demand, one has to love the use of the words “vaccine hesitancy”.

    It falsely describes a cohort that doesn’t exist. As if we’re clutching our pearls with one hand, while biting our nails of the other hand.

    How about the “No fucking way ever” percentage? They refuse to acknowledge us as such – ruins their narrative.

      It falsely describes a cohort that doesn’t exist.

      I actually disagree. I think there really are three cohorts:

      (1) those who readily received the jab or will as soon as feasible, (2) the virulent anti-vax crowd (who might be either anti all vax, or just anti the Covid-19 vax), and (3) a whole bunch in the middle who are not anti-vax fruit-loops but are holding back and are waiting for more data to be in.

      JHK says he’s in this group … after seeing my local doctor get knocked flat by the AZ vaccine, I am certainly in this group as well. I think “vaccine hesitancy” describes us well enough.

      • Ron Anselmo May 18, 2021 at 9:40 am #

        OK T – I’ll buy that.

        However, not so sure there’s a “whole bunch” in the “hesitancy” group, but clearly, those who are, you & JHK included, are thinkers.

        Thinkers, after some observation, due diligence and deliberation, will more than likely, fall into the “No fucking way ever” cohort. Just my opinion.

        • MaryV May 18, 2021 at 11:51 am #

          Notice how he calls those who are anti-vaxx ‘fruit loops’.

      Our Health Secretary has said that it could ‘spread like wildfire among the unvaccinated’, and the kicker, it isn’t affecting older people so much as the youngsters.

      How convenient that the group least likely to get injected and least likely to suffer any illness are now the ones ‘at risk’.

    ” I would argue that the analogy is more like you guys shouting at each other without stop that every single ship is the Titanic. ”

    — Enough Already

    I agree.

    But then …

    The mainstream media looks to me like guys with millions and billions of dollars shouting at each other without stop that every single ship is the Titanic.

    And with retinues in the thousands of people who wouldn’t even recognize the White Star Line house flag

    Your user name is for me tinged with great irony because it could as well serve as my motto.

    I’m 55 years old , but can I recall a single year not invested with some super super important crisis that I must address ?

    Nope , I can’t recall a single fucking year.

    And in that brief five decades , quite a few of those crisis turned out , already , to be bullshit.

    For example , when I first came to this country a big scare at the time was Japan.

    ” We have to compete with the Japanese ! We have to become more like them ! ”

    That was before Japan went into a ten year recession.

    Before , for the first time in its history apparently , Japan is having to import foreign labor on a large scale because its birth rate has dropped into the toilet.

    Turns out that maybe giving 16 hours a day to Toyota is not good for families ?

    But let’s NOT explore that one.

    Better yet , lets conveniently forget there ever was a bullshit Japan hysteria.

    The Cold War —- well , I saw that one from BOTH SIDES , and it was bullshit both ways.

    There was AIDS is gonna kill everybody.

    30 years later it still looks suspiciously like a Gay male and intravenous drug user disease. …… but never mind that , too.

    Time flies ! 911 was twenty years ago. That is , an entire generation has grown up that is tall enough to look me in the eye for whom 911 is a historical event.

    On CFN , if you are going to stay here any length of time , you are obliged to some degree or other to deal with individuals and on their terms to some degree.

    The MSM never really has to deal with individuals on their own terms.

    So there is really no break on its absolute and extremist dogmas.

    Whatever the supposed differences between state – controlled media in the east and ” free press ” in the west ,

    it sure seems to me that one thing they certainly have in common is that they blame everything on individuals , and tell you it is the individual you have to watch out for.

    After a lifetime of observation , I conclude the opposite.

    I’m not particularly concerned about what any particular individual on CFN might do.

    Governments and corporations though , I don’t trust any further than I can throw them.

    In sum , I guess I would say then that I don’t think CFN is so bad.

    And , in general , I don’t buy the idea that the internet is any sort of problem.

    • Yohannon May 18, 2021 at 11:40 am #

      Yes, there always has to be an Enemy. Always has to be something to distract us from seeing the real Enemy – Them. Or Us, in our desire to emulate them.

    There are least some Republicans in Arizona who have some ethics, credibility, and a rational mind:

    PHOENIX — The top Republicans in Arizona’s largest county gave an impassioned defense of their handling of the 2020 election Monday, calling on fellow members of the GOP and business leaders to speak out against an unprecedented partisan election audit.

    The GOP-dominated Maricopa County Board of Supervisors cast the audit as a sham that’s spun out of the control of the state Senate leader who’s ostensibly overseeing it. Board Chair Jack Sellers said Senate President Karen Fann is making an “attempt at legitimatizing a grift disguised as an audit.”

    The “Cyber Ninja” hit-job will be easily exposed for the nonsense that it is. I also expect significant blowback against the GOP in 2022 for being so stupid.

    • JohnAZ May 18, 2021 at 8:59 am #

      You better hope the hit job is exposed as nonsense. What little credibility that you and the Biden mob have will be gone if it isn’t.

      The audit will happen. Your side is not all powerful and has its power limits although you do not think so.

      The election was a sham. Like everything else in the late Trump administration, the DOJ look into the lately passed voting law changes was a joke, or non-existent. His appointment of Barr was the worst mistake of his term. 2022 will be a sham as was the GA senate races.

      I personally want to see what comes out of the AZ election. If it was corrupted let the audit prevail. Po, are you afraid to let the chips fall and the truth prevail? Are you afraid that the sham really exists and the current joke of a government is just that, a fabrication of a set of lies.

      I will tell you the truth. My greatest fear is that the election was legitimate and the American people are stupid enough to be a Democratic Gimme group of people that no longer deserve the Constitutional way of life here.

      As I said above, if true, the Reds are going to leave the rats nest behind for the Gimmes. Hope the enjoy finding out the Libs will have spent away their “inheritance”.

Are you afraid that the sham really exists and the current joke of a government is just that, a fabrication of a set of lies.

        No – I’ve said it several times. I have no idea whether there was significant electoral fraud in AZ or anywhere else in 2020. But if there were fraud, the AZ Senate needed to engage a credible professional outfit – not the Beagle Boys (Orlando) Inc.

        Their report won’t have any influence, I expect.

        I will tell you the truth. My greatest fear is that the election was legitimate and the American people are stupid enough to be a Democratic Gimme group of people that no longer deserve the Constitutional way of life here.

        This is a pretty common theme on here, and has two streams: (1) elections not won by Republicans must be shonky, and (2) anyone who votes Democratic is either as dumb as pig-dribble, or a worthless useless eater.

        Lots of fine up-standing hard-working productive people vote Democrat, and believe it’s the best party for America. They’re entitled to their view – and to vote.

    And yet despite of all of that who are the walls closing in around. Hmmm. But of course. The false god that government has become. And a rational assessment leads one to charitable notions. As I have come to the conclusion that civilization, as it presents itself is perhaps a series of false gods. A tireless procession of blasphemy and abominations and profligate atrocities. Did it have to be that way? Well of course not. But in the natual world living organisms grow old, get sick and die. And even that is just a template. Perish the thought of mold breakers lol, but yes, they lurk in the background or perhaps the foreground too. And the Grim Reaper is equal opportunity and seems maybe to have the biggest and most consistent commitment to DE&I in the cosmos Anyhoo. What is civilization at its basic foundation but a mass of living organisms operating as one greater organism by way of a detailed set of routine interactions, reactions and actions. All governed by some set of rules and formulas and equations. And just as living organisms get sick and perish do not also great masses of organisms do the same collectively? History seems to say yes. So in one sense the chickens are simply coming home to roost. Probably too because of some of the more obvious death wishes extant at the moment. It is probably best to be isolated and very distant from what can best be characterized as an imploding and collapsing skyscraper. Better to be last.

        Any would seek to go backwards are now the Enemy of the System. All Men are suspect, but especially White Men, the Builder Race. White Women too unless the vilify their brothers and bow to the Sacred Minorities.

        You want to go back, and keep the Capitalism. Thus you don’t really want to go back. To will the End is to will the Means. Not to will the Means is not really to will the End. Bad faith in other words. Capitalism lead to this so it must be jettisoned – permanently.

    Great expose by Anglin. This one is coming down the pike fast, pushed by both 60 Minutes and Tucker. All the videos are Government. All the people who have seen them are Government. In other words, where are the Cellphone videos? Video killed the radio star. Aliens stopped being reported so much once the technology to see – or not see – them was in place.

    The photos are blurry. Why? Are we still in the 1950’s?

    Wouldn’t it be funny if the fake aliens turned out to be real demons? The human ones are already here in any case.

    Why is Tucker doing this? Is he a Gate Keeper?

    • MaryV May 18, 2021 at 2:20 pm #

      Many say Tucker is “not so obvious establishment”.

      A year ago, many of us were expecting the October surprise to be a fake alien invasion.

    Does this sound like “curtains” for all but the meek?

    Matthew 5 [KJV]

    1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
    2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
    3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
    4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
    5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
    6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
    7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
    8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
    9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
    10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
    11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
    12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

    God does not like when people cherry-pick His words completely out of context. It is 1 of His least favourite Human sctivities. Careful, GA.

    Personally, I’m trying to make God’s Team at the Hunger-and-Thirst-after-Righteousness position. Tough go but God is well aware of my diligence. The kind of winger that a Coach can count on to pop in some Big goals from His 3rd line.

    Rejoice! We need not be meek to make the Team … but apparently the meek will be our new landlords! [Just jokes, God.]

        I’m afraid the main invitee is going to be missing the performance.

        She has just got her daughter back from the other side of the world, and hasn’t seen her for two and a half years. So real life calls.

        Sorry, but enjoy the popcorn. 🙂

        Poor OG. You make a joke about something from the Bible. You even say it was a joke. And he thinks it will help if he quotes more from the book that’s full of contradictions to begin with.

        Show me a Christian anywhere who isn’t a fully paid-up, master cherry picker.

            She has quit her job in Sg – it was either that or signing up to another 3 years in her flat share – and is taking her time to see how things lie as regards opportunities in Europe. In the first instance, she is going to Tuscany in June/July to do a yoga-teaching course!

            OG, LHB

            I am not prejudiced against Christians. I was one for most of my life, and follow what would look from the outside (or indeed further in) like a pretty ‘Christian’ life.

            If you were to read rather further back, you would find a good number of posts where Yoho completely agreed with me about the theory of eternal torture. It has troubled him too, I’m pleased to say.

            For all I know, I may end up a Christian again – I don’t discount anything in this life. But if I do I will NEVER be one who supports the doctrine of eternal damnation and torture.

            You didn’t get back to me on either of the two occasions I told you about my baptist friend. I was rather hoping you might.

          • GreenAlba May 19, 2021 at 4:21 pm #

            Nobody else got back to me either. I think, on that topic, people prefer to hang on to their psychological blankies and just not think too hard.

          • O.G. Hawkins May 19, 2021 at 8:39 pm #

            GA,

            It sounds to me like you’d be Christian if God would change His Word for you.

            That’s not how it works. You either accept God’s Word or you do not. The multitudes suffering eternal damnation in Hell after Judgement is not the plate of herring at the smorgasbord that you can Just, “give it a miss.” The herring is mandatory.

            Perhaps you think it’s noble to burn in Hell with the multitudes. I suspect that it will get pretty old Real quick.

            ——-

            Here we go again. I never saw your Baptist-friend story once let alone twice. Please provide the link and I will reply.

            Maybe nobody got back to you because you post new shit too far back and people don’t scroll through all that old shit.

          • GreenAlba May 20, 2021 at 9:03 am #

            “It sounds to me like you’d be Christian if God would change His Word for you.”

            It sounds to me like you are making assumptions.

            When I was a Christian I didn’t believe everything in the Bible was literally true, the way you do. That would have been problematic, since there are so many contradictions and so much obvious mythologising.

            Much of what Christians believe is speculation, and many speculate very different things from one another. Many Christians have speculated that Revelation is simply religious hallucination, which I consider to be most likely.

            Not a few clergy/theologians/lay people of various denominations have speculated that Hell merely means the absence of God, or that the people you look forward to seeing burned ‘as they deserve’ are merely annihilated for all time. Most non-theists expect that fate anyway, even if they’ve led exemplary lives. It is the way of every other living thing that they observe.

            My difficulty in remaining Christian came out of a gradual conviction that, while Christ’s precepts seemed (and still seem) admirable, the divinity side of it wasn’t necessarily true. There was no shortage of candidates for messaiahs of various currencies and the belief in an afterlife was nothing new either, having morphed between and among various religions that found themselves rubbing shoulders with one another (e.g. the Jews in Babylon). A species that became self-conscious was always going find it difficult to believe it wouldn’t always exist.

            But mostly I recognised that what I felt was primarily fear. And I could not rationalise a belief in a loving God with a belief in an eternal hell of the kind you have very clearly said you believe the vast majority of humankind deserves. Not because they’ve done the dirty on anyone, but simply because they honestly doubt the existence of a supernatural realm.

            There is and was no ill will in this position. It is simply what I reluctantly and regretfully had to accept – that I was unable to *love* a god who burns people for eternity. Any people.

            When something makes no logical sense to you, you are entitled to ask if it is really a thing at all, or just a projection of the best and worst in human beings.

      Most excellent. It’s as “real” as the ordinary flu, but certainly no more than that. Pandemic? Hardly. Over a year on now, and I still don’t know anyone who’s actually had it. A few positive tests, but that’s all. And of course we now know the tests were and are total bullshit as well. Mental retardation among the pathetic masses? Now THAT’S as real as can be! When western civilization dissolves, as it’s in the current process of doing, it won’t be that we were all gaslighted, that was always going to be a given, it will be because we fairly BEGGED to be gaslighted and we LOVED THEM for doing it to us!

    The reaction to COVID was nothing more than an orchestrated effort to blame economic collapse on something totally beyond anyone’s control. Mission accomplished in that regard. Dig deeper though and it gets darker still. The author is observant. We have been at each other’s throats. That’ll get rid of some of us. The vaccines will get rid of some more. World War 3…a lot more. Still too many of us. Billions to many. The day is coming when they won’t need us to wipe their asses. They’ll have machines to do it for them. Then the gloves come off.

          That isn’t even my point. My point is that we have just undergone one of the most damaging economic periods in modern history due to “Covid.”

          The idea that it has deflected from economic damage from Brexit, which is miniscule if it even exists, is comical. The use of the word deflected also suggest that this is some sort of deliberate act, which makes no sense whatsoever given the difference in the damage caused by the latter vs. the former.

          • GreenAlba May 19, 2021 at 1:38 pm #

          Kesa

          Is the word ‘bitching’ supposed to suggest that you think a trading country could separate itself from its biggest trading partner without suffering any damage?

          Or because you think small businesses shouldn’t care if new regulations cause them to shrink or collapse entirely?

          You are clearly right that I did discuss the damage that would be done by Brexit long before Covid.

          Jacob Rees-Mogg, arch-Brexiter and investment banker who has done very well out of Brexit, claimed that it would take the UK 60 years to break even following the economic damage done by Brexit. He just happens to consider it is worth it, which is a different argument entirely. And he can afford to be very relaxed about it, as an investment banker married into an aristocratic family.

          • Wizard of the Saddle May 20, 2021 at 11:35 pm #

            It strikes me that BREXIT was more about allowing Britain to have more control over the terms of it’s trade with the rest of the world and to remove itself from the scheming of Brussels to inexorably erode its national sovereignty.

            I don’t see a problem with that. But I am sympathetic to most nationalist movements, even misguided ones like that of the Scottish nationalists, who are a mess of batty socialists. My feeling is that if a nation wants to rule its own roost, it should be allowed to do so without being molested.

            No doubt, the statist, globalist bastards on the Continent will endeavor to punish you Brits for daring to go your own way. Well, is that not proof positive that the EU was never your friend to begin with?

            You see, it’s all about CONTROL.

    • Slugoon May 18, 2021 at 4:06 pm #

      I have to say, I agree with Owl, I find it astonishing that anybody could make that argument after what our government has done to businesses small and large over the past year.

      • GreenAlba May 19, 2021 at 2:35 pm #

        I’m surprised at you, Slugoon. To see Night Owl get to ranting before putting his brain in gear does not surprise me at all.

        Look at what I wrote. I did not say that the damage done by Brexit was greater than has been done by Covid. Especially, SO FAR.

        The sectors affected by Covid are in many cases very different from the sectors affected by Brexit. And while the expectation is that the Covid-affected sectors will bounce back, thanks to the vaccination programme (whatever you think of it), the effects of Brexit will be cumulative and will continue for many more years.

        As I have mentioned, Jacob Rees-Mogg claimed (before Covid) that it will take 60 years for the economy to break even, and he’s religiously pro-Brexit.

        Some info. here on the different sectors affected by each crisis:

        https://www.newstatesman.com/business/companies/2021/04/brexit-s-damage-business-no-blip-new-data-shows

        (note para. heading “An economic impact worse than Covid-19’s”).

        The fact that the Covid damage is more obvious at the moment (in the sectors affected – some sectors are not affected at all) does not negate the assertion that Covid has been useful in deflecting attention from the damage done by Brexit.

        Perhaps we in Scotland are paying more attention because Scotland has been disproportionately affected by Brexit. Sadly, this will probably lead to the break-up of the UK, in due course.

          Note that we are now looking at a trade deal with Australia which is to involve tariff-free imports of agricultural products into the UK from Australia, which will mean the complete death of crofting in Scotland. How can farmers with 50 cows compete with mega-farms in Australia?

          And that’s just Australia. Wait for the American trade deal.

          The agricultural sector in this country is being sold down the river. That isn’t just an economic issue, it’s a strategic one.

          And I doubt even you could find any good side to our fishermen being totally screwed, after being cynically used as symbols of Brexit freedom.

            Slugoon is worth conversing with. You are not.

            Sorry.

        • Slugoon May 19, 2021 at 4:01 pm #

          I heard all this five years ago, Alba. Every lying politician, media hack and corporate shill wheeled out, day after day, telling us how the world would end if we dared to leave the lofty EUtopia, stuffed to its gunwales with nasty, spiteful, vindictive, anti-democratic mandarins.

          Like Covid, a daily feast of lies, manipulation and hoodwinkery to go along with the demonisation and mockery of anybody who might dare to display a Union Flag or criticise the EU, you know, all those racist and ignorant swivel-eyed-lunatic little Englanders.

          And just like Covid, to this day I’ve not met or heard of a a single person affected by Brexit. Not one. My company is a poster child for the EU, as integrated as any company could be. Despite all the threats of being unable to fly to the Continent and the impossibility of being able to continue trading in the UK, what happened? Nothing. We got a new AOC and carried on as before. Of course, to anybody who cared to look past the propaganda this was obvious since we already ran a Swiss arm without any problems. I’m not an investment banker, nor an aristocrat, but my instinct told me that that none of this economic Armageddon was ever going to happen. Neither has it happened for any of the hundreds of people I know in as many different businesses and sectors.

          Yes, of course some businesses will be affected and will need to adapt but I think you are greatly overstating it. I haven’t even looked at the New Statesman link you sent. It’s a rag so far left I may as well get New European’s opinion for all the honest and unbiased reporting it would yield. And that ‘different argument’ that you casually dismissed (being free of the EU shackles) is actually a central argument every bit as important as the economic one. (For me and many of the others I campaigned with.)

          In any case, smallholder farmers have always been shafted by the CAP, which favours large landowners and agribusinesses. The Common Fisheries Policy was also a disaster and if our politicians had any backbone and had had spent their time fighting the UK’s corner instead of trying to subvert, neuter and outright reverse Brexit, perhaps our fisherman wouldn’t now be sitting there feeling short-changed.

          You’ll never change my mind on Brexit. I hate the EU with every sinew of my being and I’m glad we’re out. With respect, I hope Scotland goes its own way and gets back on the EU gravy train, or whatever it wants to do, then everybody will be happy.

            You seem to be a very bad winner.

            I don’t wish to change your mind on Brexit, or for Brexit to be reversed. But I’m surprised that you can’t do any better than ‘I don’t know anyone who’s been affected by Brexit’.

            I don’t know anyone who’s had triplets. Or testicular cancer. It never occurred to me to conclude they don’t exist.

            “he Common Fisheries Policy was also a disaster and if our politicians had any backbone and had had spent their time fighting the UK’s corner …”

            That’s what Nigel Farage was supposed to be doing, but he preferred poncing about when he was in Strasbourg, rather than attending fisheries meetings.

          • Slugoon May 19, 2021 at 4:43 pm #

            What I actually said was “of course some businesses will be affected and will need to adapt but I think you are greatly overstating it.”

            Farage never had any power in Strasbourg. He didn’t tow the party line so he was ignored. That’s how EU ‘democracy’ works. What did Juncker say again? “If it’s a Yes we will say “on we go”, and if it’s a No we will say “we continue””

          • GreenAlba May 19, 2021 at 5:07 pm #

            Come to think of it, Slugoon, I don’t know a single person – not one single person – who has lost their job due to Covid.

            Nor any business owner who’s lost their business.

            Probably for much the same kind of reason you don’t know anyone whose been affected by Brexit.

            But unlike you I don’t have any difficulty believing people have been affected, and badly, even if the information about them came from the teevee.

            And I’m surprised you think only agriculture in Scotland will be affected by exotic trade deals. I think the farming sector matters, both economically and strategically.

            You can’t ‘adapt’ yourself out of an economic dead end imposed on you by someone else.

          • GreenAlba May 19, 2021 at 5:09 pm #

            I don’t disagree with you on anything to do with Juncker. I don’t have any time for EU overlords. But that doesn’t make me feel the need to dismiss facts on the ground about the economic consequences.

            I’m surprised Jacob Rees-Mogg would choose to be so much more open about them than you.

          • GreenAlba May 19, 2021 at 5:10 pm #

            “But unlike you I don’t have any difficulty believing people have been affected …”

            That was referring to Covid.

          • GreenAlba May 19, 2021 at 5:13 pm #

            Farage was supposed to go to fisheries meetings and declined to go. But told the fisherman Brexit was the way to go, for them, without pointing out to them that would be shafted by losing their main export market. I don’t see him anywhere now, offering to help out the fishermen. I do see him when I go on to YouTube, selling some ‘investment product’.

          • Slugoon May 19, 2021 at 5:29 pm #

            I don’t know a single person – not one single person – who has lost their job due to Covid. Nor any business owner who’s lost their business.

            Lucky you (or them). I know many people either forced into compulsory redundancy, ‘voluntary’ redundancy or onto part- time contracts. One even took his life. I also have two friends who have spent all their savings and accumulated large debts trying to keep their businesses afloat. They might not have actually lost their businesses (yet) but the toll has been huge.

            I’ve never said people haven’t been affected by Covid so I don’t know where that came from.

            Unfortunately for Scotland it was the UK that voted to leave so technically nothing has been imposed on you. We voted and left as a single entity. I realise that Scotland, like London, was overwhelmingly Remain. This is why I hope you get your independence and rejoin so that you can prosper under the EU’s auspices without the English holding you back. It would be nice if London followed you too.

          • GreenAlba May 19, 2021 at 6:23 pm #

            Two misunderstandings, Slugoon.

            When I said referring to Covid, I meant affected by job losses from Covid, rather than job losses from Brexit, in case I had been ambiguous.

            And the imposed dead end I was referring to was not the referendum, but the trade deals that will damage or destroy large parts of our agricultural sector. Obviously these are a result of Brexit, and are indeed WHY certain interests wanted Brexit in the first place, but I was not suggesting that the referendum wasn’t valid or saying anything in particular about Scotland.

            Agriculture in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will suffer the same effects.

            And the suicide rate among farmers is pretty high at the best of times.

          • GreenAlba May 19, 2021 at 6:30 pm #

            But my original point remains. It was NOT that the damage done by Brexit was greater than the damage done by Covid (although over the 60 years mentioned by Mr Rees-Mogg it may well be) but that what damage has been done and the issues around it have been hidden/sidelined/ buried by Covid.

            I don’t hear anyone much talking about a trade deal with Australia, for example, or its results, except as a tiny side point pushed out by Covid talk.

          • GreenAlba May 19, 2021 at 6:37 pm #

            If I wanted to rejoin the EU, I’d be supporting Nicola.

            The last thing I want is to rejoin the EU on the NEW terms we’d be obliged to accept, i.e. compulsory eurozone and Schengen membership. We threw away our perks. I don’t want membership without them.

            But I don’t see why accepting Brexit, which I have, means I have to pretend the short-, medium- and long-term damage is ‘minuscule’.

            I once wrote a post listing what would have been included in my kind of Brexit. Preparation for it would have started 20 year ago.

          • Slugoon May 20, 2021 at 12:27 am #

            I hear you, Alba and you know that I sit at one extreme of the Brexit debate where my view of the economics came a distant second to just getting out of the racket.

            Neither you, I, nor anybody else can honestly say what the net effect will have been in 20 years. We could be richer, poorer or about the same but looking at the trends across Europe and the globe I don’t think it’s going to make any difference on the macroeconomic scale.

            The way Barnier is now going on (he’s got an election to win ya know) there might not be any Schengen. Wouldn’t that be something, the ‘freedoms’ watered down to just goods and services? A trade block, nothing more, nothing less. Now that’s something I could get behind!

          • GreenAlba May 20, 2021 at 7:59 am #

            “Wouldn’t that be something, the ‘freedoms’ watered down to just goods and services? A trade block, nothing more, nothing less. Now that’s something I could get behind!”

            Absolutely. I’d go with that. I quite liked my notional rights as a European citizen while I had them, though, but I’m perfectly resigned to them being gone, and my daughter has managed to get a French passport, so she will have more choices that I don’t particularly need.

            I guess it’s different being English. I’ve never had any trouble being Scottish and British, while many English people think English IS British! So having a European identity was just another level for me.

          • Slugoon May 20, 2021 at 8:42 am #

            many English people think English IS British

            You mean to tell me that being Briti… never mind 😉

            It has always been odd to me that the Scots and the Welsh appear far more patriotic than the English (anecdotally) and display their flag more often yet they are more likely to be Europhile than the English.

            The English definitely are, or were, a unique breed. I think I’ve just had the misfortune of being born in the wrong era (but thankfully the good fortune of not being born in Thurso).

            “It has always been odd to me that the Scots and the Welsh appear far more patriotic than the English (anecdotally) and display their flag more often yet they are more likely to be Europhile than the English.”

            Slugoon – you need to acknowledge that the Welsh & the Scots were probably the earliest victims of English colonization. No wonder they’re more Euro-centric than Anglophile. The revival of the Welsh language in Wales and the devolution of the Scottish Parliament are evidence of the ongoing resistance to the English.

            If only the Scots, Welsh & Irish had rejected the invasions!

            If only they had, Liberal! I was talking in a more light-hearted manner about how things are in the present day.

            My Welsh and Scottish friends are proud and show it, they really go for the flag-waving, and it’s admirable. If us English do it though, we are considered vulgar, crass and racist.

            The Scots abhor what was essentially an English decision to regain its independence from the EU but simultaneously argue for their independence from England (curiously then wanting to just hand sovereignty back to the Eurocrats).

            You see the contradictions?

            Modern England is nothing like 17th or 18th century England but I get it, it’s cool to bash then English for ever more, cuz, colonisation, innit?

        • Wizard of the Saddle May 20, 2021 at 11:53 pm #

          I honestly believe that some things are more important than money. Sovereignty is one of them.

          Nonetheless, if Scotland wants to secede from the U.K. so she can join the E.U., that is up to her people alone and it’s no one else’s business.

          It would be a poor trade, in my view.

          A better deal would be for y’all to ditch the royals and work out a deal for a federal republic organized along the lines of a highly decentralized Confederation, Swiss style.

The only way we, and I think Amerika, is ever going to regain any sense of identity and community, in my opinion, is to go through the sort of societal collapse that JHK writes about.

    Remember, there’s a report coming out in June about the UAP (UFO) phenomenon. The govt is finally admitting what it knew all along, that these things are real & that they’ve been studying our planet for decades. My question is, has the govt been in communication with these intelligences recently?

    Coincidences sometimes occur but it makes me suspicious of the covid coming along about the same time. I also recall that Twilight Zone episode, “To Serve Man.” I’ll ask the question straight out: Have these “vaccines” been a kind of Adolf’s Meat Tenderizer for the aliens when they finally set down in the Rose Garden & make their demands known?

      The [distasteful, reluctant] admission by the US Government that UFOs have been violating the airspace of the world’s nations with gay abandon for ages is one of those “slow news day” stories.

      Who cares what governing bodies of any scale think about non-human presence in our biosphere? The astounding ethnocentricity of humankind, starting off with the dismissive name “space” for the incalculable richness of the cosmos, and the assumption that alien supplicants will land on the White House lawn, is one good reason to ignore them thoroughly.

      Why should those from another solar system / dimension bother with our puny military and political apparatus? More likely they will speak to children, as they reportedly did in a schoolyard in Zimbabwe (encounter researched and reported by Dr. John E. Mack), as children are the only ones truly open enough to listen.

      I have always maintained that there is absolutely no upside for TPTB for disclosure, and everything to lose. Most painfully the fact that our bright and shiny and exquisitely expensive air force has amply demonstrated that it FAILS to carry out its basic mission: to protect our airspace from unwanted incursions. These craft (or living beings) zip through the atmosphere, across borders and within the sight lines of airline crews (who are too wise to say anything about them) over and over again.

      This is what Disclosure implies: “Gee folks, we’re sorry we piled on the ridicule and threats for the past seventy-five years because the fact is that we cannot do a gosh-darn thing about frequent incursions into our airspace, craft noodling around above ICBM flights and nuclear weapons bunkers. We can’t help those poor farmers who have had ten thousand of their livestock gutted and drained of blood, nor can we offer any protection or meaningful support to the thousands of Americans who claim to have been abducted and experimented on.

      “But please now don’t get it in your heads to cut back on our nine hundred billion dollar defense budget, or useless Space Force. That’s pretty much the only thing that’s keeping this economy afloat at the moment.”

      [In case you want to pursue this: Dr. John E. Mack / Budd Hopkins / BBC Radio documentary on sightings / 2010 National Press Club “Disclosure” Conference, with retired USAF officers in charge of ICBM perimeter security opening up and talking about what would have earned them a spell in Ft. Leavenworth while they were in uniform]

  68. MaryV May 18, 2021 at 3:05 pm #

    From professor, journalist and writer Michael Rechtenwald, I’ve only copied a portion of the entire speech here, link to the whole thing at the end:

    (Delivered at the Libertarian Party Mises Caucus Take Human Action Bash, May 15, 2021)

    “The most pressing matter facing advocates of liberty today is the prospect of the political and economic establishment completing the institution of a totalitarian state. There is no other way to read the multipronged approach and the political maneuverings that political operatives are taking to rule under “Biden.” I put “Biden” in quotation marks here because the current president of the United States is not a singular person named Joe Biden. It is a politburo consisting of party rulers and advisers, ruling by executive fiat, plus, as I’ll discuss, corporate-state apparatuses. Make no mistake, the power grab that is underway poses the most grievous threat to liberty in recent history.

    The signals could not be any clearer. In addition to the swath of executive orders, clearly composed by politburo members and aimed at extending federal power, the political establishment has initiated a growing body of laws which would, if passed, consolidate uniparty rule for the foreseeable future.

    These include especially H.R. 1, or the For the People’s Act, passed by the House. Should it pass the Senate (with the eradication of the filibuster, which of itself would mean uniparty rule), H.R.-1 would grossly favor Democratic candidates in federal elections. Most importantly, it would further centralize federal election oversight and, according to the Institute for Free Speech, “[e]xpand the universe of regulated online political speech (by Americans) beyond paid advertising to include, apparently, communications on groups’ or individuals’ own websites and e-mail messages.” And Biden just revoked an Executive Order preventing online censorship. If you think that libertarians won’t be affected, think again, as libertarians have been mentioned as among those dangerous political elements to be targeted for their dangerous speech.

    The legislative maneuverings include the ‘‘Judiciary Act of 2021,’’ which would simply expand the Supreme Court to twelve members plus the chief justice. This move would essentially effect a legislative takeover of the Supreme Court, as the Supreme Court would increasingly “legislate from the bench” and likewise expand the power of the legislative and executive branches beyond official perimeters. The odds of its passage, as is, are slim, but the overture is indicative of an attempted power grab not seen since FDR.

    But the most imperiling sign of the nearing consolidation of totalitarian government is the effective merger of corporate and state functionaries, with corporations and other organizations acting as political appendages of the government and enforcing corporate-state desiderata. The indications of this merger are so many and sundry that any exhaustive recounting of them would entail a book-length treatment—a book-length treatment that I may endeavor to write.”

      Well your “Mr Rechtenwald” is a whingeing sore loser.

      I put “Mr Rechtenwald” in quotation marks here because the speaker is not a singular person named Mr Rechtenwald. It is a great heaving mass of undemocratic, traitorous, un-American commentators from the far loopy right, filled with hatred, paranoia, and grievance.

      They can’t accept the democratic process, and can’t accept the will of the people. They hold only two things to be true: (1) people are sheeple when they vote Democrat, and (2) if Republicans don’t win an election then it’s not legitimate.

      But the most imperiling sign of the nearing consolidation of totalitarian government is the effective merger of corporate and state functionaries, with corporations and other organizations acting as political appendages of the government and enforcing corporate-state desiderata.

      I don’t recall Mr Rechtenwald complaining when a former president used social media to great effect before and after the 2016 election. And he seems comfortable with PACs using mountains of corporate money to get Republicans elected. Or the Koch Brothers funding the ALEC program – so that states pass right-wing and business-friendly legislation.

      Suddenly all the issues only arise when Democrats win something for once. And they will be dead luck to hold both the House and Senate after November 2022 – plenty of forces lined up against them.

      The For the People Act is a justified response to voter suppression in states (mostly) with Republican majorities. Mr Rechtenwald comes right out and says that the current set-up favors Republicans.

      And I think there are good reasons to have a much enlarged bench of Supreme Court justices (say 25) – selected randomly for any particular matter, so that partisanship plays a much lesser role, they hear more cases per year, and the appointment of any new justice is not politically fraught.

    In Minneapolis, a day long Celebration of the life of George Floyd — St. George, coming up.

    Hey, there’s a lot to celebrate! Where should we begin? Opioid addict, Meth addict, porn actor, 5 time convicted felon, home invader, armed robber, counterfeiter. I probably left some stuff out. At some point the Master of Ceremonies will read a testament to George Floyd’s life achievements. It should be a short speech. When darkness falls a candlelight vigil will be held, hymns will be sung. Actually, my advice would is don’t be caught anywhere near this celebration when darkness falls. Similar anti violence vigils and ‘Celebrations’ in Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport are always the scene of more mayhem and bloodshed. Stay away, celebrate the remarkable achievements and distinguished life of St. George from afar. You’ll be much safer.

      I can no longer stand the carnage. I feel that only by giving up my gun(s) can this scourge be abated.

      Goddamn…I feel better now….

      BRH, thanks for the reminder. May avoid the MSM sites I check on line around that day. The three funerals last year were more than enough for me. Now celebrations of life?
      I didn’t understand Michael Brown getting canonized, let alone Floyd.

      Minneapolis deserves to be swirling around the hole at the bottom of the toilet bowl. People who vote for politicians THAT STUPID deserve the bad government they get.

      No skin off my back here in ‘Bama.

      I could care less if idiot Yankees choose to self-destruct in their own backyards.

      But don’t even think about trying to export that crap down here in Dixie.

      We don’t put up with that crap outside of black dominated lunatic asylums like Atlanta and Memphrica.

    Sluggo

    He [The beantownshill.] wasn’t lobbying for anything of the sort.

    He was so. He told CFNers to ostracize me and started determining which topics that I may and may not discuss.

    There’s a difference between free speech and getting on people’s nerves.

    Said every censor ever.

    You brought it up in twenty separate comments a week ago and have done so many other times before and since.

    CFNers (like yourself Sluggo) kept engaging with me. That’s what happens in Free Speech. While 20 might seem excessive to you, we are discussing the most important day of our entire aging lives. So there’s that.

    When I disagreed with you and Night Owl that it was perfectly possible for someone to hit a Tower or the Pentagon this is what I got back:

    That is not True, Sluggo. What I actually said was (paraphrased):

    “Thanks, Slugger, for your expert opinion. It is so rare that one has an opportunity to speak to a commercial pilot about that Tuesday.”

    What I think that you are having trouble, logically, with:

    I could hit that skinny tower (with my cajones the size of Texas)

    Therefore

    It is plausible that strip club-frequenting Saudi jihadi Flight School dropouts could go for 2-for-2 with the cameras rolling that Tuesday morning.

    Therefore

    Paper passports can be explosion-proof and the NYSE Really did have no way to identify who cashed in millions shorting airline stocks in 2001.

    Therefore

    Philip Fucking Zelikow and his official report is on the up and up.

    But, curiously, according to you, Sluggo, they Really are up to no Good this time with this whole virus/vax ruse.

    Who’s the child here?

    You are, Sluggo. Obviously.

    ———

    GA

    She [GA referring to herself in the 3rd person] has also demolished Mr Hawkin’s silly premise several times. But he remains attached to his self-flattering comfort blanky.

    I missed that, GA. You validated magic, exlosion-proof paper passports? You explained why the NYSE can’t identify who unscrupulously made millions shorting airline stocks on 9/10/2001? You explained how & why BBC reported that WTC7 collapsed while it was standing in the live shot 20 minutes before it did collapse? You “demolished” all those other seemingly insurmountable details of That Tuesday that nobody else on Earth has?

    You’re so Good at providing links to your previous spewings, do you have that one handy?

    You mentioned hallucinations caused by a bad trip in the 80s.

    This is why it is so infuriating responding to your strawmen and misquotes, GA.

    I mentioned neither hallucinations nor bad trip so there’s that.

    It was you who said you were a Tony Soprano catholic, BTW, not me.

    I have already corrected you on this and you know it. I said that I am Catholic like Tony Soprano (i.e. not a very Good one). You then attributed to me that I claimed that I am Tony Soprano like a delusional crazy person. Shame on you.

    I know that you know about similes.

    But I don’t go around proselytising for the religion that says you can’t do that, and that once divorced, you’re on your own, or else …

    Your point being? What? That you behave Better than do I? As my childhood friend used to say, “Do you want a cookie?”

    • GreenAlba May 19, 2021 at 7:04 pm #

      “She [GA referring to herself in the 3rd person] ”

      I referred to myself in the 3rd person because you referred to me in the 3rd person. Had you addressed me directly, instead of addressing the gallery about me I would have addressed you in the same manner.

      “You then attributed to me that I claimed that I am Tony Soprano like a delusional crazy person. Shame on you.”

      I did nothing of the kind. I said that you referred to yourself as a Tony Soprano catholic. That means a Tony Soprano kind of catholic not that you have delusions you are Tony Soprano, as some people think they are Napoleon. I won’t say ‘shame on you’, but I do have to wonder about your reading comprehension.

      “I missed that, GA. […] etc.”

      You clearly did miss it, but you misunderstand to which *premise* I refer. It is not the premise that that 9/11 was an inside job.

      Had you not referred to my posts as ‘spewings’ I would take the trouble to clarify.

      But since you did, I feel under no obligation to waste any more time.

      • O.G. Hawkins May 19, 2021 at 8:52 pm #

        Oh. I see.

        It is ok for you to say that I “moan” but not ok for me to say that you “spew.”

        Got it.

        And, yes, you did say that I said that I am Tony Soprano. It was not a reading comprehension situation.

        Bottom Line:

        You must believe in explosion-proof paper passports and the NYSE being incapable of tracking where millions of airplane stock short selling profits went and that 3 skyscrapers were pulverized by 2 airplanes 1 Tuesday.

        Therefore, you are a spewing dope that need be ignored while we deal with adult issues.

        ——-

        And you still keep calling me LHB or LBH after I clearly displayed that I did not say what your reading comprehension issues inaccurately deduced.

        • GreenAlba May 20, 2021 at 7:44 am #

          I did not say you were Tony Soprano or thought you were Tony Soprano. I said you were a Tony Soprano catholic, by your own words. ‘Tony Soprano’ in that sentence is an adjectival phrase. Most people can still parse it if you don’t include the ‘kind of’ or ‘variety of’. English is that kind of language.

          Perhaps i should have included a hyphen, but that seemed strange in a proper name. I have never even seen The Sopranos,BTW – not a single episode – but I presume a Tony Soprano Catholic is much the same as a Michael Corleone Catholic.

          My reading comprehension is fine when dealing with the sentence I quoted, starting with ‘I will be happy’. Sorry you don’t like it. When you quit with the Santa Claus stuff, I’ll drop the pissy postnominals, which were your bright idea.

          I have never said anything about explosion-proof paper passports and I do not have the slightest psychological problem with the notion of American spooks possibly murdering thousands of their own people. There is simply nothing that someone won’t do. That has never been a surprise to me, beyond primary school.

          • GreenAlba May 20, 2021 at 7:46 am #

            Obviously I mean I don’t have the slightest psychological problem believing that they would be prepared to do it, not that I think it would be fine and dandy.

          • O.G. Hawkins May 20, 2021 at 4:43 pm #

            You said, “You’re Tony Soprano.” I’m not making it up.

            As for your misunderstanding of my perfectly fine English:

            “I will be Happy when Jesus rules Earth and multitudes are burning in Hell.”

            The statement is amibupus. It means that multitudes burning in Hell is happening simultaneously to Jesus’s 1,000-year reign. The 1,000-year reign is that which will make me Happy, and you know it but won’t admit it.

            Much like saying that I spoke of hallucinations on a bad trip when I said neither. No apology. No, “I stand corrected.” Just ignored in standard GA, SCB m.o.

            Anyway, now that we are down to ridiculous semantics for your desperate win on some ludicrous technicality, can we judge me on my words & their intended meanings?

            That is, regardless of your complete lack of understand of the logic of cause/effect vs. coincidence in the English language structure, GA, you need give me a new nickname as the multitudes burning in Hell (where God deems that they belong) would not be the source of my Happiness. Jesus’ 1,000-year reign would be the source of my Happiness. And you know it.

            LHB or LBH does not apply to me or my beliefs so cut it out!

            You, on the other hand, must believe in magic, explosion-proof paper passports (i.e. the official Zelikow report), abstain or acknowledge that TPTB are engineering Biblical evil against us.

            People who choose 1) or 2) above are children who can fittingly be called a Santa-Claus Believer, Green Alba, SCB.

      American Boy Scouts have gone WOKE: Eagles now required to earn ‘diversity and inclusion’ badges
      https://thepostmillennial.com/american-boy-scouts-have-gone-woke-eagles-now-required-to-earn-diversity-and-inclusion-badges
      Excerpt:

      The Boy Scouts of America organization has released a lengthy letter iterating their support for the BLM organization and explaining the implementation of new diversity measures.

      “The Boy Scouts of America stands with black families and the black community because we believe that Black Lives Matter. This is not a political issue; it is a human rights issue and one we all have a duty to address.”

      and UNZ.com had a comment[s] about Cash. +

      My dad was in the Hungarian Army for two decades as a cognitive scientist doing R&D studies during the tail end of the Soviet era, and one thing that expressed itself frequently is that a unit of 100+ IQ individualists only functioned at around 10% efficiency when compared to a group of 85IQ troopers with normal levels of socialization.

      The same figure was when women were assigned to previously male non-sniper units. [no surprise].

        Well, why not?

        • JohnAZ May 18, 2021 at 8:45 pm #

          I have heard rumors that the Mormon Church will not tolerate the BSA any more and will create their own Boy Scouts.

          Ironically, the Scouts were created to make Men out of Boys for the English army. Now we will use the Scouts to create specimens for the LBGTQ community. I hope that these idiots go out of business.

            Of course I would happily malign Mohammed – Islam, Christianity, Judaism … all the patriarchal religions are a ruse, and a front – to put a respectable gloss on old guys securing the young chicks for themselves.

            Joseph Smith and Brigham Young took it to a whole better level though – the more the merrier, the younger the better!

          Well , as I eccentrically understand it at least , BSA policy on homosexuality used to be , ” Don’t ask , don’t tell. ”

          The moral of the story seems to be that it does not necessarily follow that if you jump through hoops for people that will be the end of your troubles.

          Are THEIR motives really , ” Live and let live ” , and , ” Let bygones be bygones ” ?

          Are they genuine friends or genuine neutrals?

          If not , then jumping through hoops may not be the end of your troubles , but only the beginning of your troubles.

          The BSA we used to know honestly doesn’t exist anymore. Homosexuals and feminists destroyed it.

          Only fools would send their sons into the ranks of this totally corrupted organization whose only purpose now is to turn young men in feminized and emasculated wimps.

          Sad. Very sad,

          But it he did as he slowly died from an opioid overdose.
          He started saying ” I can’t breath” in the back of the police car and never quit saying it until he died of his over dose and then they blamed the idiot cop who could have saved this fools life with a dose or two of Narcan.
          In case some of you don’t know it even in the throws of opioid induced death many people when given Narcan get very angry because that high they chase was cut off very abruptly.
          Was Chauvin even issued a couple of doses of Narcan?
          Was he trained to recognize Opioid induced death?
          If not why to both questions.
          Instead he was railroaded for a death he did not cause and for ignorance and poor training.
          Even more to the point what about the other cops at the scene did any of them have the training and the doses of Narcan?

    Arizona fact!

    People who move to Arizona, or Southern California, will acquire an unwelcome visitor in their first 18 months or so. Valley Fever is an inhaled fungus that resides in Sonoran Desert soil. It gets into the lungs when the soil is disturbed by construction and people drive or walk through it. The fungus grows and the immune system reacts to it. The distribution across the population varies from a mild reaction to an out and out big pneumonia. Fungus is hard to treat and bad cases take a lot out of a patient. Scar tissue in the lung shows up on Cat scans forever. We live with it. No vaccines, just treatment.

    That is what Covid and other viruses need to be, first priority treatment, vaccines for high risk groups. Where is the CDC on promoting treatment? Playing politics! Along with the WHO! What vested interest do these crumbums have in suppressing treatment?

      Could it be that all the “treatments” that have been touted are essentially snake-oil – or at best, highly anecdotal without any serious clinical trials. Trials on hydroxychloroquine have shown that it’s useless – possibly worse than useless – but there are many people who swear by it. Because they believe the covid is a hoax.

    There’s a lot of people that don’t think the covid virus is real, or that it’s a much smaller problem than it’s purported to be, or that it’s a manufactured “crisis” for the purpose of tightening social control, or take your pick. There’s a lot of stuff out there.

    If there’s distrust in official narratives, it’s because official narratives are not trustworthy. If you’re over the age of ten and you have a brain cell that still sparks up, you would know this. Most people on this blog do. But some don’t.

    In my own words, there’s nobody as full of shit as an “expert”, nothing as full of shit as an audit, except maybe a statistic, no idea so full of shit that “intellectuals” can’t bring themselves to buy into it, and to paraphrase George Carlin, politicians are full of shit, churchmen are full of shit, professors are full of shit, university students are full of shit, businessmen are stunningly full of shit, Wall Street is cosmically full of shit, there’s no measuring the full of shitness of the magisterial “woke”.

    What to do then. I’ll tell you what from my own perch, but you have to call it as you see it. And don’t let anybody talk down to you and deride your take on things because you don’t have the – cough – credentials. No papers just means you’re not remotely as full of shit as somebody who has them. You have a brain, so fucking use it.

    From what I’ve seen this covid thing is real and spreads much like the common cold. Unless you’re superman or you live in a plastic bubble, it’s not a question of IF you catch a cold but WHEN. Same with covid. From what I’ve seen it can kill. It can make you damn sick even if you’re young and otherwise healthy. If you’re old it’s lethal.

    From what little I know of biology and the branch of biology dealing with evolution, when a lifeform finds a new ecological niche, be it a new land-mass, a new food source or, like the covid virus, a new host species, they have a tendency to mutate ie evolve pretty fast.

    One well known example is whales, for which fossil records of evolution are pretty darned good. About 50 million years ago there was a fully terrestrial shore-line dwelling creature on what was the edge of a stretch of water between Asia and the then island continent of India. That shore-line critter was something that looked like a wolf except it had hooves. And after about a million years it had evolved into an unmistakably aquatic animal. That’s the thumbnail sketch. The point is that evolution in the case of whales was fast.

    Faster even is it for microbes. Those fuckers multiply quick and mutate quick. Now that covid found a new food source in humans look for it to change quick. And we’ve actually seen that happen, with new and apparently more contagious and deadly varieties. Nothing happening IOW that you wouldn’t expect.

    Am I parroting the party line? Make up your own mind. Use your own eyes and ears and wits. If you want this to be a contest between the rock-ribbed, gun totin’, rootin-tootin, granite-jawed, freedom lovin’ American and the useless-as-tits-on-a bull, bi-coastal, gender confused, college miseducated pussy be my guest.

    Do you trust drug companies? Do they deserve trust? Remember those non-addicting opioids? You have a choice between possibly or probably catching covid and the vaccines. Take your pick. Nobody said life is fair.

    And nobody said that the Deep State won’t use this mess to entrench their own power to surveille and coerce. Life really, really isn’t fair.

          My friend runs clinical trials for big pharma, she has been in the industry for 20 years in this field.

          She said there is no way you can make a vaccine and have it on market in less than 5 years. Most take 10-15 years.

          She said there are many reasons not to take this ‘vaccine’ but that is the main reason. She said that the claims that they ‘sped up’ the trials by throwing money at it is bullshit. It’s like, paying a pregnant woman to speed up the birth. It’s an impossibility. Or another analogy, they said they had a bigger trial so that is supposed to mean the vaccine got developed quicker! Not so. Again, the pregnancy analogy could apply.

          This is madness for greed and power, pure and simple. And now they are testing and maiming children. With an unapproved, experimental mRNA concoction, not a vaccine.

            Scientists have been fiddling with mRNA vaccines/concoctions for a while; perhaps 15-20 years. Animal trials have been conducted, but none were successful. So they went back to the drawing board to tinker some more.

            My hunch is, the vaccines that came out of Operation Warp Speed came from that work. They had them; question is had the ones released for use had any animal trials, prior to initial human trials last year? We don’t know.

            This time next year, we should have a better idea of how people who had the shots responded to corona viruses this coming fall/winter, with the original covid, mutations thereof, or other corona virus.

            Until then, we just don’t know.

            Then Warp Speed bull shit while they fan the flames of fear & hysteria.

            Then Ft Dietrich / Faucci / Wuhan release of the virus?

            I expect the Joker to jump out next.

            They did not know if they could make a vax as quick as they were freaking out … and then they made 6?

            Pfizer
            Moderna
            J&J

      Well said!

      Disagree about the audit though. The audit is not a recount which is worthless. The audit makes sure the methodology of the election was per the law.

      They will look for manufactured ballots, manipulation by computers, especially from the internet. Either one of these being found in any significant percentage at all should void the election.

      • volodya May 18, 2021 at 9:09 pm #

        Yeah, the Arizona election audit is something that has to happen not least because of the stink of corruption.

        Given the behavior of the past five years or so, first to derail Trump and then to over turn his election, the shocking thing would have been a clean 2020 vote.

        As far as this audit goes we’ve read the stories of obstruction and deletion of information. How do you conduct an audit that’s worth a damn under these conditions? All those hindrances make it look more and more that the vote was crooked. Which is what you’d fully expect anyway.

        • Tekapo May 19, 2021 at 12:30 am #

          The audit dudes have come out today to confess that no election files have been deleted – as the Maricopa Election Board (Republicans) have been saying all along. Looks and tastes like a clusterfuck.

          No -it’s being done because the Repubs cannot tolerate the fact that the Dems might have won an election. There are millions of red-hat Arizonians who believe their state is ruby-red – but that ain’t the reality – as much as they would like to think it was.

      Still haven’t seen any evidence that this is anything more than normal flu which turns, as flu will do, into pneumonia in a handful of people, some of whom of course die. Life is like that. Fatal in 100% of cases in the long run. All the rest is MSM induced hysteria and desperate authoritarian overreach for control by the usual suspects. I’m 63 and I rank convid as exactly ZERO on my worries list. Now the “vaccines” (which are actually anything BUT) I give a solid 10, which is why I won’t be partaking of the ritual poisonous prick.

      The MUCH LARGER concern is that the imbecile sheep going along with all this nonsense are also ENABLING it, and that’s a problem for ALL of us. A BIG fucking problem!

    COVID Vaccine can worsen disease; mainstream study; not on the evening news John Rappoport

    May 11, 2021

    “COVID-19 vaccines designed to elicit neutralising antibodies may sensitise vaccine recipients to more severe disease than if they were not vaccinated.”

    Feel free to take THAT to a doctor.

    This quote appears in an October 2020 study, published in the International Journal of Clinical Practice. The title of the study: “Informed consent disclosure to vaccine trial subjects of risk of COVID-19 vaccines worsening clinical disease.” [1]

    The two authors are Timothy Cardozo and Ronald Veazy. Cardozo’s affiliation is listed as “Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, NYU Langone Health, New York, NY, USA.” Veazy’s affiliation is “Division of Comparative Pathology, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Tulane University School of Medicine, Tulane National Primate Research Center, Covington, LA, USA.”

    The study declares that volunteers in COVID vaccine clinical trials and people who receive the vaccine after clinical trials—meaning now—should be informed there is a risk of “more severe disease than if they were not vaccinated.”

    So that’s what I’m doing.

    Have you heard of anyone about to receive the vaccine being INFORMED that they’re at risk—that they’re liable to become more seriously ill than if they refused the shot?

    Of course not. Politicians, news people, and other idiots simply take the word “vaccine” and push it like a street dealer pushes heroin.

    Consent given by the patient, after being truly informed, is a bedrock medical responsibility.

    The claim that a declared crisis overrides a person’s need to understand what is being done to him is a criminal claim.

    Looking at how the COVID vaccination campaign is being conducted, anyone can see informed consent is being violated to its core.

    Manufactured hysteria is not an acceptable substitute for moral duty.

    Modern-day fascists believe that “ten thousand bloviating Faucis” declaring the vaccine is absolutely safe and effective is actual science.

    Months ago, I wrote a piece that fits nicely with this article. Based on a New York Times op ed by Peter Doshi and Eric Topol—the clinical trials of the COVID vaccine conducted by Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Moderna were designed to prove nothing more than: [2] [3]

    The vaccine could prevent a cough, or chills and fever (diagnosed as COVID-19).

    That’s right.

    Now follow this. The vaccine makers were waiting for the SARS-CoV-2 virus to descend on some volunteers during the clinical trials.

    But since the volunteers were healthy, how long would it take for “serious cases of COVID”—pneumonia—to show up? Three years? Ten years? Never?

    The vaccine makers certainly weren’t going to wait. No, they were going to stop the clinical trial when 150 of the 30,000 volunteers were diagnosed with “mild COVID”—a cough, or chills and fever.

    Then they were going to see how many people who actually got the vaccine vs. how many people who got a saltwater placebo shot received a COVID-19 diagnosis.

    THAT was the essence of the clinical trial.

    Of course, all three vaccine makers claimed that far more people in the placebo group were diagnosed with COVID—thus “proving” the vaccine was effective.

    Effective at preventing “a mild case of COVID”—a cough, or chills and fever—both of which cure themselves naturally, without the need for a vaccine.

    There’s your vaccine science.

    A show for buffoons.

    So now, as vaccine-caused deaths escalate daily [4], this destructive genetic shot is being given to people all over the world [5] [6] [7]. There is no authentic informed consent that spells out the incredible danger. And the vaccine was never meant to prevent more than a cold or mild flu.

    Yet you’re supposed to develop a suicidal impulse, take the shot, and earn your vaccine passport or virtue-signaling immunity bracelet or microchip so you can enlist in the Brave New World.

    Yoho: Not very rigorous, impressive, or even scientific, eh? Not when you look closely. There’s too much money to be a made! Time’s a wastin! You can sympathize with that, can’t you? You want to be a millionaire, right?

    If you do, and know they are like you, then you’ll know enough not to trust them or their products.

    • MaryV May 19, 2021 at 9:57 am #

      Great post. None of the aspects surrounding covid19 have ever been scientifically tracked, quantified, or investigated fully. For good reason. The muddier the waters, the more people do something impulsive out of fear.

      It’s a shame the vast majority of jabbees don’t know they are experimental lab rats.

      The ones that do and still champion this effort – well, I’m guessing it’s to make themselves feel better for doing something so ill-advised.

    • Tekapo May 19, 2021 at 3:52 pm #

      Recent research indicates that the vaccinated will (a) get a much milder – possibly asymptomatic – case, and (b) they are far less liable to transmit, since their viral load is much reduced.

      Fear-mongering about Covid-19 vaccines is shameful … if you lot don’t want to have a vaccination, then don’t – but stop preaching and ramming your crazy views down everyone else’s throat.

      Same with the abortion debate – if you don’t like it don’t have one – but preaching to and haranguing others is the worst of fascism by fanatics.

      • MaryV May 20, 2021 at 8:57 pm #

        You’re the only insane fanatic up here, Po.

      At the very beginning where he says ;

      ” … immortalized in a card we will all definitely lose in a month. Vitally important , but also too big to fit in any standard wallet.

      That was rather amusing.

    ” How much of the hate generated in the Black community, especially from young adult males, stems from the Black Muslim sector in the Black Community. How many virgins are promised to these crazy Black kids? ”

    The anti – religious 911 narrative again.

    ( If Christians and dope – smoking American Indian Animists , for example , think that is only about Islam they are stupid. )

    I sorta likes it actually. In a round about way.

    That is , I don’t really think religious propaganda is remotely so effective.

    Here , for example , a self – described liberal , and self – described atheist , tells you , and rightly so , that Bill Clinton would fuck over any number of Black people , and fuck over any number of women , to push himself forward.

    But now Christopher Hitchens is dead .

    And Bill Clinton is never the less Mr. Goodbar.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_RqyXT5bt4

    The implications of all of that ?

    Someone once said recently on CFN , ” Every time Richard Dawkins opens his mouth , three more people become religious converts. ”

    I believe that.

    • Tekapo May 19, 2021 at 3:54 am #

      Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens are two of the sharpest minds to occupy the planet during the late 20th Century. No wonder they’re attacked by the fervent religious fruit-loops – they are so brilliant and compelling..

      • MaryV May 19, 2021 at 9:53 am #

          I know that – he still remains one of the sharpest minds produced in the 20th Century.

          The use of the present or past tense in these expressions is mostly a question of preference.

          So I can say, “Rembrandt (is or was) the greatest Dutch painter of the 17th Century.” Even though he is long gone, his status lives on. So either will do.

    “Power is evil sin no. One.”

    And yet when I return to the Word I find..

    “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.”

    So not to get into an involved theological debate lest I be accused of being given over to a Semitic mind, however, just to be clear, the assertion is not congruent with a Biblical understanding of Power and its relationship to Evil. Rather. It doesn’t appear as if such a connection is even made between the two. But if you zoom out 10 thousand feet Power basically looks like a Gun. IOW, both are neutral items or tools with potential energy. It’s what the user of the item or tool does in utilizing its kinetic energy or how that then can be measured on the Scales of Judgement. As all actions will be judged. So really. Power is game changing and has the potential for good in the right hands. What is in your heart?

    • KesaAnna May 19, 2021 at 4:24 am #

      Well ……

      Like this Covid thing.

      My view is , that if past experience is any clue , and I think it is ,

      We will learn the truth —

      — When it is too late .

      — Or when it proves to be nothing.

      The ” trouble ” with this point of view is it basically constrains me to arguing NOT to give me any authority or power.

      This is versus arguments of various stripes , but all of which basically come down to give me the power and the authority to send armed men to your door to throw you in the can and / or strip you of your property of you do not comply with some claimed good that MIGHT or MIGHT NOT come from this.

      Naturally , they consistently characterize this as ,

      ” My opinion versus your opinion” .

      Bullshit !

      It’s my opinion ( which again happens to be , ” DON”T give me the money and the guns ” )

      Versus their give me millions of dollars and billions in weaponry because —

      well — we can come up with infinite pretexts , excuses , rationalizations and justifications.

      And these are obviously very different things !

      What’s in their heart , then ?

      I conclude nothing good , or very little of it.

      As for myself , gee , gotta toot my own horn here .

      I’m one of only a bare handful of people here on CFN who has ever devoted any apparent significant effort to an essay in the vein of ;

      Why you should NOT give me any particular credit , any particular status , any power.

      Limits ? Near always mentioned only in passing.

      Don’t hold your breath waiting on all those essays on the subject of ;

      This , specifically , should be the limit , and no more.

      My guess as to why you will see so little of that is because any actual limit is most likely going to mean that the very writer of the essay is not going to get half of what they want.

      ” …. EVERY SIN AND BLASPHEMY WILL BE ( conceivably , possibly ) FORGIVEN MEN. ”

      I’m reading that literally , granted , but , WOW !

      Every sin and blasphemy covers a lot of ground ! Potentially a hell of a lot of shit in there !

      So , consequently , I’m guessing this spirit thing is a very narrow quantity.

      A narrowness , I’m guessing , into which giving out money , titles , and guns for an infinite number of reasons does not fit .

      • SoftStarLight May 19, 2021 at 1:31 pm #

        It is a very interesting perspective and I agree with you. Most people can probably find reasons as to why they need more power and stuff and such. Very few for sure would likely say that they don’t need any. But I guess what I was intending to get across is that I do believe there are those, and really it could be a super small sample, but that there are people who even with much power and resources would act in beneficent ways to those who do not. We do have some historical examples. And I also think conventional Christians are far too willing to demonize power itself as JAZ was appearing to do. When in reality IMO the demonizing should be assessed against the person who is utilizing power for an evil agenda.

  83. Tekapo May 19, 2021 at 3:49 am #

        Tekapo & I did find common ground with the brilliance of Life of Brian yesterday. Although, he called it the Best Christian film ever. It is not only not nearly that, it is not a Christian film at all. It is a comedy taking place in Jerusalem during His ministry. Jesus is giving The Sermon of the Mount, we pan back and back until some woman near us shouts in a British accent, “Speak up!” Jesus never appears in the film again.

I bet I know how to flush Slugger out: “Hani Hanjour…” But rather than argue with folks that average about 75% reasonable (much higher than the general population, good work CFN’ers), I’ll probably stick to an analysis of the contents of the punch bowl. The get-together Slugger mentions (which I see coming together at Mr. K’s place) is probably one of the dark visions that haunt Mr. K’s sleep as we approach lights-out.

            Thank you, BB. I Really appreciate that!

            I’ve got over 7,000 hours into the project. It is the “vinylesty” Classic Rock on the internet. Plus the slideshow of album artwork is interesting for waiting rooms / bars & lounges / airport gates (remember them?).

            The plan now is to get listeners and then sell advertising (on the page, not on the clean audio-feed).

            Please, all CFNers, friend or foe, share this free product with any and all that love Classic Rock.

    But in thinking in a more focused way about the whole Abrahamic Semitic mind core out I honestly and humbly intuit that your notion of an Occidental mind is literally mythical and likely a product of a knee jerk inferiority complex reaction. Otherwise it’s really difficult to feel unconflicted when understanding that the builders of the Sumerian Ziggurats were the founders of “Western Civ”.

    Then Again. The most offensive Out of Africa notions are ones you not only embrace but put at the center of your philosophical altar. Despite the science that tells you that all significant demographic/genetic pulses that gave birth to your precious Occidental mind in fact came from the..East. Hmmm. In fact. Peel your layers away and you’re really a Middle Eastern Asiatic. Even the Pharoahs said the Asiatics (which in those days meant Middle Easterners) were Whites. Don’t believe me? Look at how the Syrians are depicted in those ancient tombs. And even then, the Nubian came first! And the genes for fair skin, hair, and eye color actually were introduced into Europe from Anatolia and the Middle East in successive waves.

      Then Again. The most offensive Out of Africa notions are ones you not only embrace but put at the center of your philosophical altar.

      There are many people who looked at God with an open mind and decided that He does not exist. A long time ago.

      Then they closed their minds to that topic. God does not exist and I know this for a fact.

      Their unshakeable belief that He does not exist is every bit as Powerful and Religious as is a Christian’s belief in The Resurrection & Ascension.

      They have their myths & legends, scapegoats, heretics, ostracized as they view everything through their oh la saleem ah!: Science. They prove gravity or nuclear fission or release Viagara and then say, “Therefore there is no God!”

      I’m not sure that I like your Police work there.

      Someone recently pointed out that The Curse of The Mummy was breathing the bacteria in a freshly opened tomb. Does that prove that the people breathing the bacteria and dropping dead is purely coincidental or is that how the curse works?

      Not believing in God is a leap of Faith with every bit as much jagged chasm below as believing in Him. Worse, actually.

      The Truth is unstoppable. We all know that.

          Yes. This is true. I guess I wasn’t really intending to do police work so I’ll have to think about the way I put together my essay next time. I actually did have a hesitation about using that one example but it was late and I was finding some and unsure of others. But I do basically agree that some/much? of what is called science is actually elaborate mythologies.

        O.G., just to clear something up, atheism is merely a rejection of belief, a-theism. We, or certainly I, do not claim to know there is no god on the basis that logic says it is impossible to prove a negative.

    • Yohannon May 19, 2021 at 12:43 pm #

      Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh (an Orthodox prelate) hated the Spirit of the Gothic, those towering Cathedral spires. To him it indicated a denial of the Incarnation and of course hubris, towering pride. An early indication of the emergence of modern or Faustian Man. THIS is the spirit of the West, and yes, it is not religious.

      And going back in time, this was the spirit of the Tower of Babel. As far as we know, the Sumerians weren’t White (Northern Caucasian). But their Elite may have been, at least at the beginning (the Founders). There are images of red haired men very different from the average big nosed type depicted.

      As for the Egyptians, they didn’t see themselves as White as per the Book of Gates. The Libyans are the furthest from the flame. The Blacks are ahead of them. As are the Semites. And the Egyptians are first, depicted as dark brown. But some of the Pharaohs might have been White or mixed, at least some of the genetic evidence has seems to indicate as much. Maybe other races share in our Faustian impulse or can fall into it as we often do.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Gates#:~:text=1%20Categories-,Categories,%22Themehu%22%20(Libyans).

      Many races have built magnificent Temples to their Gods. The Pyramids might have been such as well. But when do they become monuments to vanity? Maybe Metropolitan Anthony is wrong. The Builders and Churchmen of Europe would have certainly disagreed with him about what they were doing. But sure enough when Vanity reigns unopposed, people build buildings are high as possible, as in New York City. And now Dubai. So he’s right in some basic sense….

      • SoftStarLight May 19, 2021 at 1:11 pm #

        Oh that is interesting. And yeah the symbolism makes a lot of sense. I mean that people constructing (or maybe the ones actually designing and planning) these massive towers have massive egos too. And creating these super structures is almost a statement of superhuman abilities and qualities. Since these towering structures are far outside of the natural human scale of things. Perhaps that is a pan human trait. Or at least a trait that is possible to find anywhere there are people. That would make sense in the Christian perspective that every one has the sin nature.

        • messianicdruid May 19, 2021 at 1:43 pm #

    From a friend in Pennsylvania, just one example from one election of how many ways these elections can go wrong.

    “Just some of the voting shenanigans going on in Pennsylvania today. I sure hope this PA representative is going to actually do something and not just talk…how about some arrests starting with the governor…

    From PA State Rep. Andrew Lewis…

    “They call us crazy because we want to fix the voting laws in PA and safeguard elections, but get this:

    -The machines were literally not scanning REPUBLICAN ballots throughout Fayette County today due to barcode printing errors. This is not a conspiracy theory, this is what factually occurred today in an entire PA county. Thankfully they caught it and took action — a judge has granted an injunction requiring a hand vote count in these precincts.

    -Precincts across York, Lebanon and Delaware counties RAN OUT of GOP ballots today. They ran out. Officials did their best to rush new ballots to those precincts and an injunction was sought to extend voting hours until 10 pm. But this is mind blowing — they literally didn’t print enough GOP ballots! This comes after Gov. Wolf switched us to the paper ballot system with no valid justification, another reminder that there is genuinely no depth to the ineptitude of this administration.

    -In Lancaster — a heavily Republican county — the machines were incorrectly scanning mail-in ballots that contained the amendment and referendum questions, because these ballots were printed incorrectly and the machines were reading multi-page ballots OUT OF ORDER.

    Enough is enough, PA. Every election official responsible for these errors all the way up the chain needs to be fired. Heads need to roll. And our voting laws need to be updated NOW.

    Here’s the solution: We can and will fix this by updating our election code and rectifying these issues so it’s 1) easy to vote and 2) hard to cheat. We have been drafting legislation in the State Government committee to restore and safeguard the integrity of our elections. And I better not hear a PEEP from “progressives” and bureaucrats in opposition when we introduce these bills. I’m beyond pissed off that election issues in PA are this blatant and yet voters who are being actively disenfranchised, discriminated against and turned away at the polls are still not taken seriously. This needs to be fixed NOW.”

    But an entire national election is smooth sailing with no abberrations, or errors, or fraud.

    • Tekapo May 19, 2021 at 3:15 pm #

      The machines were literally not scanning REPUBLICAN ballots throughout Fayette County today […]

      Precincts across York, Lebanon and Delaware counties RAN OUT of GOP ballots today.

      I don’t understand this. In any general election (as opposed to a primary) – every voter receives the same ballot paper to mark. There isn’t a “Republican” or “Democrat” ballot paper. All [arty candidates are listed on the ballot paper, and you tick a box.

      Therefore some clarification would seem to be required.

    You can just smell the desperation. And I am guessing that 50% is an exaggeration, because others have reported much lower. Maybe 50% in blue states, who knows.

    “Dear MoveOn member,

    The United States is about to pass an important milestone, with 50% of the population having received at least their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.1 After 16 months of fear, isolation, disruption, and devastating loss of loved ones, we are beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

    But experts say that we need 80% or more of the population to be vaccinated in order to reach herd immunity—a goal that may be hard to reach if we don?’t fight back against the rampant lies, conspiracy theories, and misinformation about the vaccine being spread by Donald Trump and the right wing.2

    We know that one of the most effective ways of convincing family, friends, and community members to take action is through social persuasion, meaning encouragement from people they know.

    An easy way to do this is by proudly proclaiming that you have been vaccinated, which is why MoveOn has just printed a big batch of “Pro-Science, Pro-Health, Pro-Vaccine” stickers, and we?’re giving them away for FREE while supplies last.

    Will you help spread the word and encourage your friends and family to get vaccinated by ordering a sticker today? Just click here or on the image below.”

    https://milled.com/moveon-org/are-you-vaccinated-get-this-free-sticker-DuyoVcnOBQW-noju

    It’s pretty funny they still have to use Donald Trump in order to motivate someone to get the experimental jab against their own better self-interests. Especially because Trump has been endorsing the vaccines since day 1.

            So he was sicker than hell again (happened after 1st shot too) and put him out for 2 days, 4 days later now he’s just starting to feel ‘better.’ Legs swelled up and turned purple. Hearing loss, felt so out of it he walked into a wall and dented it. But I guess that means IT’s WORKING!

      She has a cat on her lap, who reaches up and bops her in the face a split second after she said her pronouns. Good kitty. 😉

      FWIW, did a quick search trying to find the video, and got a link to a story about a woman claiming her cat is transgender. Would that be the same as spayed/neutered?

        Shame is a very important part of our DNA in the sense that shame leads to shunning. Shunning leads to ostracization which, in turn, leads to starvation and death without replication.

      Sane GOP. Equals RINO contingent of the Deep State. All the states have them.

      The Deep State is counting on the browning of America to cement in its uniparty. American republicanism, not the party, is just about gone.

      The battle is between the government and the people for who controls the country. Right now the Deep State is winning.

      I do not understand why the Deep State is so afraid of its electoral process to be examined for legality. Of course, the answer is obvious.

      • JohnAZ May 19, 2021 at 5:25 pm #

        I wonder, if the true extent of the corruption is discovered by a legitimate neutral audit, how many of those lovely Deep Staters would end up in the slammer.

        Redneck, how can you believe that the government is better to run your future than you are? A real puzzler for me.

        “I do not understand why the Deep State is so afraid of its electoral process to be examined for legality. Of course, the answer is obvious.

        Examined for legality? WTF??? Are you saying that EVERYONE in the non-Trump cohort of the GOP of Arizona is lying and hiding shit in order to get Biden elected? Geez…!

        The same with Georgia, I guess? As Raffensperger stated, he’d voted for Trump (both times) and could NOT find any evidence of the alleged fraud. He has worked hard to make sure the Dem vote is suppressed in future elections though, so there’s that…

        The way you Big Lie people operate, you will never be satisfied that it was not a rigged election. No doubt your Cyber Ninjas Freak Show will be able to find SOMETHING – or manufacture something – to keep the grift rolling along. Hopeless.

    The question of the hour might be stated from a dual position:

    Have I sold myself to corruption?
    What price have I or will I accept for this surrender?

    did you receive a receipt? if not you will ultimately pay in the complete surrender of your being as you are called to sell again and again

    and this you will have willingly done. the libruls, the democrats, the conservatives, the republicans, the socialists and the communists will have had no play. most certainly of all, the Stoics, the mystics and the faithful will have had no play.

    the person who knowingly buys the get away car for a bank robbery is gulty of bank robbery

    who financed the level 4 laboratories, who made funds available for specific research, who utilized the information acquired from the research, who disseminated the collated information and bought further research, who has had in place a systematic program for a new world order and who has been a known and willing major participant in this program since April 6, 1917

    not the People’s Republic of China. A Rhodes Scholar would not explain the situation to you, might better look elsewhere

    BLM gives a big fuck you to the People who raised them up and put their name in every stadium and on every sycophant’s lips.

    Obama is no doubt pleased, but what about the rest of the Establishment? They are deeply divided on this, even if on little else. Biden’s administration may well be the most Jewish in American history. I doubt if many of them are happy.

    • SoftStarLight May 19, 2021 at 1:44 pm #

      It is interesting that you mention this. I can’t remember who but I do recall back in January when Biden’s handlers were putting together the Cabinet picks and various administrative people for the regime that there were a few individuals in the alternative mediaverse stating that most of the administration’s inner circles are essentially Jewish. But BLM has proven that they are not guided by principals. Their membership apparently loves White, affluent neighborhoods. Yes, loves the neighborhoods and covets the homes and trappings. Not deconstruction as they scream at their protests. And if the money and the power is in Jewish hands they are happy to eat of them apparently. So its much ado about nothing I guess.

        • Yohannon May 19, 2021 at 9:24 pm #

          You might be missing quite a bit of middle ground there, pardner. Just because one doesn’t accept “my country right or wrong” doesn’t mean they want Israel to be erased and Israelis driven into the sea.

          My country right or wrong.

        Are you sure, JAZ? I have been watching Dems & GOPers fight for decades. It always goes like this:

        Candidate 1: “I love Israel.”
        Candidate 2: “I love Israel more!”
        Candidate 1: “That’s not True! I love Israel the most ever!”
        Candidate 2: “It is not even possible to love Israel more than I do.”
        Moderator: “All Right. It looks like we have finally found common ground. We’re going to take a break. When we come back, our next discussion point will be:

          The way he and his country was treated by Obama’s minions was atrocious. The only ally we can count on in the ME is Israel. Maybe all of us should remember that.

          • O.G. Hawkins May 20, 2021 at 3:58 pm #

            How many US$ did Obama send Israel in 8 years of his administration? How much in direct MIC wares?

            Are you familar with USS Liberty, JAZ? Israel is any ally to no one while they wage war by deception.

            The entire World will oppose Israel. That won’t happen in a vacuum. The whole World will do so with reason.

Another has to do with pre natal care, altho as far as I know all the races here go to the same doctors and hospitals. Nowhere is it mentioned that 79% of black babies are born out of wedlock.

        The uncontrolled cites filling with illegal immigrants will pull down the entire US into the swamp. What to do should be a big concern on this blog, not the Covid.

        Apparently the goal is to allow Club Members to commit crime with impunity. I’d like to think by now, anyone who could get out of cities like Baltimore and St. Louis, have gotten out. Perhaps some kind of internal refugee service could be set up to evacuate people who are trapped in those dystopic sh#tholes … due to lack of money or reduced mobility.

        Then, let the f#kkrs go to town on each other, unimpeded, which is what is happening now anyway. Some people say it can’t get any worse, but I’ve been to Haiti, and believe me Comrades, it can get a lot worse.

    Dr. Anthony Fauci not only approved coronavirus gain-of-function research grants to EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, but he also funds current bioweapon research programs for the Chinese military. Despite Fauci’s unwillingness to come forward with these indisputable facts in a recent Senate hearing, he now faces increased scientific, lawful and public scrutiny. Chinese scientists have infiltrated American institutions and advanced bioweapon research on coronaviruses, dengue viruses and zika viruses, using funds provided by Fauci and the NIAID.

      In the light of the election campaign last year, Fauci fit right into the Deep State scenario.

      This was Trump’s demise. When he picked the people in charge of the bureaucracy, his choices were all Deep Staters, people who believe in the ascendancy of the Federal government. Why? Because that is all there was or is now. Trump’s only loyalists worked in the WH and were primarily family.

        Trump should have cleaned house in 2017. Should have rooted out all of the Deep State Leftist plants in the federal bureaucracy left there by the outgoing Obama administration to wage guerrilla resistance against the GGG.

        It would not have been difficult. Lots of smart people on the nationalist Right know who the Leftwing players are in DC and would have gladly identified them for Trump.

        All should have been replaced with hard Right American nationalists empowered to purge their respective agencies of any Libtard saboteurs.

        The fact that this did not happen is evidence that Trump was steered into the ditch by GOP establishment RINO’s who consistently gave him bad staffing recommendations.

    Newsmax, a site you can trust, wrote an article about one Senator Warnock…a Democrat who espouses the 1619 project.

    What, in a nutshell, is the 1619 project, you ask?

    The 1619 Project claims that the country’s “true founding” was the year the first slave ship arrived on America’s shores and makes slavery the main focus of the country’s history.

    With people such as the good Mr. Warnock and his…ilk, preparing to mold the country to his image, it makes me feel, well, a bit like a Rhodesian farmer back in the 70’s.

    Hmmm, share power with the indigenous…what could go wrong?

    And, and as a postscript;

    How do you like it now, Gentlemen?

            Dr. J. Bruce Stewart, founder and CEO of Small World Solutions, is one of the leading thought leaders in the field of inclusive diversity.

            Formerly acting director in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, Office of Personnel Management (OPM), J. Bruce was the chief architect in the creation of the New Inclusion Quotient (IQ) and the associated government research on implicit bias.

            The New IQ—a new way of thinking about and measuring inclusive diversity—is founded upon inclusivity and is associated with research conducted around interpersonal intelligence:
            Some people are smarter than others in helping their respective teams become smarter. According to Bruce, this inclusive intelligence is teachable, learnable, and repeatable and he has led the way in advocating this new kind of intelligence.

            J. Bruce is an accomplished, dynamic, energetic, and results-oriented retired military officer with 20 years of experience in all aspects of diversity management, inclusion strategies, and equal opportunity/affirmative action requirements.

            Previously, as acting director in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion within the OPM, he managed an 11-person staff and had direct oversight on the strategic implementation of the government-wide Inclusive Diversity Plan across all federal sectors. He was also co-chair of the White House Task Force on Overcoming Implicit Bias in STEM.

    “1,000 Lawyers and 10,000 Doctors Have Filed a Lawsuit for Violations of the Nuremberg Code

    A large team of more than 1,000 lawyers and over 10,000 medical experts, led by Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, has initiated legal proceedings against the CDC, WHO and the Davos Group for crimes against humanity.

    Fuellmich and his team present the incorrect PCR test and the order for doctors to describe any comorbidity death as a Covid death – as fraud.

    The PCR test was never designed to detect pathogens and is 100% inaccurate at 35 cycles. All PCR tests monitored by the CDC are set at 37 to 45 cycles. The CDC acknowledges that tests over 28 cycles are not allowed for a positive reliable result.

    This invalidates over 90% of the alleged Covid cases / “infections” detected by the use of this incorrect test.

    In addition to the incorrect tests and fraudulent death certificates, the “experimental” vaccine itself violates Article 32 of the Geneva Convention.

    Under Article 32 of the 1949 Geneva Convention, “mutilation and medical or scientific experiments not required for the medical treatment of a protected person” are prohibited.

    According to Article 147, conducting biological experiments on protected persons is a serious breach of the Convention.

    The “experimental” vaccine violates all 10 Nuremberg codes – which carry the death penalty for those who try to break these international laws.”

    “We and other animals notice what goes on around us. This helps us by suggesting what we might expect and even how to prevent it, and thus foster survival. However, the expedient works out only imperfectly. There are surprises, and they are unsettling. How can we tell when we’re right? We are faced with the problem of error”. W.V.O. Quine, “from stimulus to science”.

    This is mainly in relation to the excellent discussion between robert gustafson and Enough Already, & others, up-thread. But it applies to all of us.

    Ron Anselmo, Blackbird, so many others here, I know some of you will read that quote and think about this: trusting the statu quo goes on ad aeternum; acting in consequence, taking a lot for granted, when has it gone wrong & caused harm to those who believed in it? Many times. Not enough paranoia. Conformism, intellectual lazyness (“I don’t need to think for myself, The Guardian tells me what to think”)

    GA, Tek, others of the same philosophical bent: not trusting the statu quo will hold for ever, the centre cannot hold etc, how many times has that been harmful for those who maintained that faith and POV? Never. If you dilligently work towards providing a minimum of room for action and independence for you & others close to you, instead of cosmetic dental work, a netflix subsciription and dinner out, you & them can only benefit. You won’t be one of the “winners”, “right thinkers” of the fat years, but you’ll be OK, taking advantage of the highest standard of living in history, in fancy organic gardening or whatever teat you can cling to before Trouble – and ready with plans b, c, d, e & f in the Empire doesn’t hold and Pax Romana is breached. The Barbarians are at the gate: resource depletion, 3rd world migration into the 1st, civil & racial war, economic collapse, techno-feudalism, endless pandemics each worse than the last… shit is tensed to the limit, you can sense that. Could be now or in 5 years, but this can’t go on as these rules of the game are not revised in toto. As in, the world owes you food and security. & a happy retirement.

    Si vis pacem, para bellum. Or, like Mr Greer wrote, “collapse now and avoid the rush”. Take your pick. Poverty and being ready to die for a line in the sand (but that won’t be necessary. There will be ways to live on the margins… if you know people, have skills, are not completely useless. One hopes, Mr K hopes & I do too).

      I’m not sure exactly what delusions I’m being accused of here, Rulo, if indeed I am being accused (it becomes a habit, on here, defending yourself!).

      I don’t trust any status quo and I don’t believe, ultimately, in any kind of security or safety as being guaranteed (when I was more religious, I liked Rupert Brooke’s Safety – I still like it as a poem). Nor do I even like being dependent on everyday things. I got my first washing machine at about 30, after some years of washing even sheets, towels and a baby’s terry nappies by hand, mixed with ‘washing’ stuff in a small French contraption you put in the sink that can only be described as a square plastic bucket with a motor on the top, which tied your washing in more knots than you could every imagine.

      But when I got my new washing machine (no more soaking nappies in disinfectant – yay!), my first thought was that I might not always have one, so better not ever take it for granted. I’m like that with most things, including my modest pension (Tekapo would laugh his head off if he saw the figures). I’ve learned to chill a bit, though, in the last couple of decades, and dare to enjoy some guilty pleasures, like my iPod.

      I am aware that even in my modest flat, I benefit from comforts kings are queens never knew in the past, but I am also aware they could all disappear tomorrow. Break my windows, in the absence of easy replacement, or pull out my copper pipes for the metal, and my home isn’t even a refuge any more.

      I am a bit of a catastrophist by nature, but I also fall easily into graveyard humour, which is partly how catastrophists stay sane, possibly, so I won’t stop looking for humour until terror makes it impossible.

      I don’t have money to buy land. Nor do I have even relative youth to make buying land make any sense. So I live in the status quo while always having known it isn’t real or secure or permanent. Or, in many cases, even desirable. Also my husband does a job that requires being in a town or city, so dreams of going back to the land aren’t viable (and he doesn’t have them anyway!).

      I don’t take husbands for granted either. My sister in law was sitting on the bed with hers this time last year, and one of their daughters, preparing to go out for a walk with the dog (the chat was muted, as they’d just lost one of their sons) and – pouf! – husband gone in a (last) heartbeat.

      And then there are my daughters, over whose future I lose sleep, and my grandson.

      • GreenAlba May 20, 2021 at 1:19 pm #

        And I miss my wee bro (the husband sitting on the bed) every time I think about him. Who gives a toss about iPods, really?

      Tully, a childhood memory. We are children, my sisters and I, playing with a set of legos with my dad on the living room floor. One of my sisters is coming out of the bath, and she complains to my dad she wishes she’d had a peepee like me. My dad laughs and makes a crude contraption out of the legos and scotch-tapes it to her lower belly. She’s happy and we all laugh.

      I think many of us don’t have an existential problem with what sexual attractions people experience. My sister turned out to be homosexual, and a happy one at that, same girlfriend for ages. Great woman, kind, funny and a biologist to boot.

      It gets grotesque when certain agendas are rubbed into our snots just to get us riled up, the trannie thing and such. 99% of us don’t care what people find enticing, as long as it’s consensual and not confrontational. It’s the confrontation for the sake of it that bothers me, not homosexuality, which is totally acceptable.

        Rulo, little ones are innocent and curious souls, and many girls have wanted a peepee like their brothers.

        For that matter, when having to use a nasty public bathroom or go outside, wished I had one so I too could pee standing up like the boys. 😉

        But what is happening now isn’t innocent. It feels more like a sickness. Physical in the sense of the impact of environmental pollutants on the body’s hormones, and mental from growing up in such a crazy world.

          It is a pollutant.

          But not the kind one would assume.

          It is called a meme.

          The Dawkin variety. Not the clever photo w/words type.

          This pollutant most easily spreads in echo chambers with magnification accelerators. And dopamine feedback algos.

          AKA: Social media.

          For instance. Did you notice the people rush buying gasoline last week? I witnessed one acquaintance run out to a service station after panic scrolling on a social media app. Numerous photos of rather stupid and or fragile looking people waiting in lines for gas.
          Their panic screen told them.
          Their electronic leash.
          It planted an idea.

          Now there are gay people regardless. Obviously.
          They are that way. As others are not.
          But there are also those that think they are.
          But probably are not.
          Or want to be something more than.. average.
          They prefer non-binary. It’s non-committal.
          And there are attention starved normie parents.
          That need the status a non-binary kid can fetch one these days.

          In the chamber, it gets respect.
          It gets noticed.
          You can add the identifiers. The flags.
          You can signal.
          You’re one of them. Not one of them.
          Look at me.

            I’ve seen those. The catch is, a woman’s sphincter muscles are very well trained to not release standing up. If I did a lot of camping/hiking, I probably would have learned to use one of these. Now……well, women get to an age where encouraging those muscles to release while standing is probably not a good idea. 😉

        We don’t. The State Capitalism (Socialism) of Marx is no better. And his mythical Communism just another Big Rock Candy Mountain or an Ideal for which the crazed Zombies will kill.

        National Socialism is the Cleansing Agent required. One for everyone? No, each nation has its own.

        Want to go deeper? I could go on about National Socialist Man but it would sound too much like “Soviet Man” – just more happy talk. The key of transformation is a knowledge of Caste Theory. Liberalism is wrong. Not all people are created equal. There are those who work, those who fight, and those who pray. This is traditional tripartate European model. To add an Indian refinement: the business people (Vaisyas) are in between those who labor (Sudras) and the warrior/administrators (Ksyatrias). The see life in economic terms to put it bluntly. They want to make us much money as possible – to conquer the world thru hand sanitizers or whatever. In other words, they have no business whatsoever having any political power. They are not qualified. Nor are the Sudras, so goodbye Communism. The two higher Castes run things. Getting everyone on board with that creates “National Socialist Man”. Radical inequality. If one of them does a good job, rises to the top of his or her field, is loyal – gets it in other words, then they can come up higher. Who better to regulate an industry than one who knows it from the inside out?

        Aristotle had a good point too: Some people are natural slaves. That would be the sudras. They want and need to be told what to do. Bad ones think they know, but they never do. People who want to wear masks are natural slaves, obviously. We don’t have to enslave them – their own nature does that. Treat them well and let them have their little pleasures. That’s what they want. If one of them wants to move up, they are free to do so. Plato said that generally one can only move up one metal or caste in a given life time.

        The last Indian refinement: Those who pray are also those who really think: the Brahmans. Those who want to pray all the time leave the four castes and become Sanyasins or Renounciates.

    Tucker mocked a cartoon girl the other night. She was in a army recruitment video. The daughter of two lesbians (how does that werk?), she said that she was already a warrior, having marched against “hate”. Tucker exploded at the cartoon: Oh shut up. Why don’t you stop talking about yourself. Not everything is about you all the time.

    Can he be charged for hatred against this cartoon? What if it is based on someone real?

    That false god of so-called government is government of the few, by the few, for the few, those few being massively wealthy, typically called the Donor Class or the Davos Class or the Oligarchs.

    This is nothing controversial as they don’t bother to cover up a lot of what they do. It’s all out there under your nose for you to see, that is, if you want to see it.

    We’ve had this discussion already but those in league with or in service of this present-day dispensation sneer at what they call “conspiracy” theorists, but, again, a lot of what the Oligarchs have plotted over the past couple of generations was in full public view.

    It was discussed on TV talk shows, in newspaper columns, magazine articles, in academic papers, in legislative chambers and subscribed to by both competing wings of the Demo-Republic-rat Party. Very little political disagreement as to what needed to be done in service of this agenda, very little disagreement either in the upper echelons of American society, and as an added bonus institutions of the Deep State were four-square in favor also.

    So here we are talking about false gods and how on earth did we get into this incredible mess and what to do about it. Well, I’m just a simple mule-skinner but it seems to me that the underlying characteristic of almost all of what transpired is that it was just flim-flam. A con job, an AUDACIOUS con-job, and in the main skillfully contrived, smoothly delivered by convincing people with degrees and awards, well-dressed and well-spoken, riding on the public’s trust in – cough – experts, those especially outside of government which hasn’t been in good odor for a while now, Well, at least since the Vietnam debacle.

    But it was flim-flam, a wide ranging scheme replete with lies, great big lies, mind-blowingly huge, giant whoppers. You remember, how we were going to be enriched in this wondrous new world, how 45 year old factory workers would re-train to go into lucrative and challenging higher value added occupations? You do remember don’t you? Millions DO remember, that much hasn’t yet gone down the memory-hole.

    Deception in the conduct of human affairs is nothing new, and I suppose that neither is self-deception, but what we’ve seen here is blind belief in your own bullshit. And the bullshit I’m talking about is what people generally refer to as “globalism”, the main effect of which has been the vast enrichment of a relative handful and the ruin of a vast multitude in the heartland of North America and the ruin of America as a global power and the enabling of another in its place, one that nobody in his right mind mind wants to see. If you didn’t like the USA as the global hegemon I doubt you’ll like China any better.

    That said, this is the age of flim-flam, we’re up to our necks in it, the unbelievable and patently nonsensical presented by straight-faced hustlers as truth and beauty and goodness and benefit when none of it is remotely what they say. And, to our vast discredit, we listened and bought into it, not understanding until too late what we’d bought.

    Won’t get fooled again? Some of us are waking up to what happened. It’s like the inestimable k-dog said in this blog in words that ought to echo through the decades, there’s nothing wrong with Kansas because Kansas stopped buying Republican bullshit. And so, in the main, did the Republican rank and file. But there’s still Democrat supporters who appear to be blissfully working for politicians that are not working for the Democrat voter but against.

    And we see a slow horrified awakening in the academic world, in at least one elite institution, where the proponents of outlandish doctrines are being hoist (blown skyward) by their own petard (bomb). Seems that if you, as a White academic, spend years and years insisting that White people like yourself are in their positions because of a racist system that deprived non-Whites of a fair chance, then by rights you should do the right thing and step aside or at the very least take a position subordinate to those same minorities that you’ve insisted are oppressed and victimized. Put your money (literally ) where your mouth is IOW.

    I think that this is great news, those very people looked down on and vastly underestimated by a high and mighty White professorship that has spent decades hectoring the rest of us Whites, telling us of our moral short-comings, playing the angle that was handed them on a platter. I just wonder whether it starts to go into the corporate world, where strenuously “woke” Whites are required to step aside, relinquish positions, and make themselves subordinate.

    Most of these high-horse people think that they’re untouchable, of a superior breed of human that can’t be dislodged.

    This is sometimes how justice unfolds, for so much of what passed as knowledge on campus was gibberish devised for the aggrandisement of its proponents, that is, all about career and money and power, and the diminishment of others, you know “cancellation”. To say it another way, it was flim-flam, a con, nothing more.

    And I watch and I laugh.

Now, if only that kind of thing goes down further into the faculty lounge. They beg for displacement and replacement, they argue for their own removal, by their words and actions they get down on their knees and beg. And well, they get it. And, no loss, rather I think a net gain, given the worthless spew coming out of those ivy-covered halls.

      Nothing is cast in stone and like Yogi Berra said, it’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future. But when people are hard up and put upon and when they see that their trajectory is downwards they get pretty irritated. It isn’t that Jan 6 happened that’s amazing, it’s that something like it took so long, given the predations visited on so many ordinary folk.

      In my view what happened that day was a farcical prelude to something yet to come and whatever it is that comes will be roughly commensurate with the severity of conditions that people find themselves in. Remember Nov 8,1923? Must have looked pretty comical at the time, and you have to wonder what Hitler and his gang of Nazi buffoons were thinking.

      But post-war Germany was in rough shape. Something like it was bound to happen. And ten years later with Hitler in power it probably didn’t look so funny. I’m not saying that Trump is a Nazi or a fascist or an authoritarian or anything like it. I’m saying that political movements need time to get their shit together and in the meantime they’re bound to do ridiculous stuff. We don’t yet know that the MAGA movement will manage it or whether something else supplants it. But stick a fork in the traditional Republicanism of free markets and tax cuts and prayer and guns. It’s done.

      Today’s ruling elite better pull its collective head out of its collective ass. Where Trump and MAGA come from isn’t some phantasmic racist, misogynist delusion, it comes from the rock-hard economic reality and facts of decline and destitution. And facts, like those of bank account balances, are exceedingly stubborn things.

      • Tekapo May 20, 2021 at 12:38 am #

        Where Trump and MAGA come from isn’t some phantasmic racist, misogynist delusion, it comes from the rock-hard economic reality and facts of decline and destitution.

        The MAGA crowd (and just about everyone else – the middle class on modest salaries, the working class on minimum wages, the involuntarily unemployed, the disabled, the mentally ill, the homeless, and all manner of others who do it tough) have grievances and disadvantages that are hugely wide and long.

        But the solution was never with Trump – he played to that small crazy minority of under-educated white dudes. The solution should be with a Democratic Party that puts genuine reform and genuine re-building on the agenda.

        Whether they can control the elites, and change tax laws to get some reasonable re-distribution – is another whole matter. I hope they can.

        The Republican Party does not care the slightest about the bottom 75%. But I don’t expect many on here to agree with me.

      • Night Owl May 20, 2021 at 4:32 am #

        This entire thread reminds me of why I left the States and generally have trouble taking most Americans seriously.

        Jan 6 contained a speech, a march to the Capitol, and a small group of rabble rousers made up of some Trump supporters, some Antifa, and some unidentified military-looking folks.

        The cops let the crowd in, most of which was peaceful (as seen on video), and the result was less than spectacular, outside of the apparent death of a rallygoer in cold blood at the hands of an unidentified black man inside the Capitol.

        The rest is McMedia spin to cover for stealing an election. The amount of idiocy on this subject is reminiscient of so many political discussions or discussions on anything of import that I used to have with friends back in the States.

        There is a dumb streak in the US, and created in part as well as fostered by media. I am at the point where I can’t even listen to most people on anything of importance.

        The sad part is that the media machine has begun to spread its tentacles due to globalization and the shift in the power structure in countries across the West. We are headed down a very dangerous path — one where thinking is stifled at the gate.

      The NYC District Attorney is now going after the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, not just a civil / taxation one.

      I understand that the difference is making a tax-avoiding “mistake”, versus actively working to defraud. They are focused on the Trump Org CFO – who presumably has all the receipts, and knows where the bodies are buried.

      Trump turns 75 next month – he’s had about 50 years of avoiding the law, but it might finally catch up with him. I don’t think the guy should be persecuted politically – it’s bad for democracy yada yada – but nor should a blatant scofflaw be above retribution.

      As I have said a couple of times, Trump winning the presidency turns out to be a really bad career move for the dude. He could have kept making money in real estate (perhaps), and kept playing golf.

          A DA dude on the TV the other night said 90% of indictments and convictions result from insiders and accomplices turning state’s witness. If there are a few people looking at long prison sentences, they might be very happy to kick Orange Man to the kerb … we don’t know yet.

          No harder than the MAGA crowd getting all their news from Fox, Newsmax, and wingnut websites. Their retractions are legion too.

          I don’t froth at the mouth over Trump winding up in orange overalls, the way some liberals do; mostly I just hope the Republican Party tells him to f#ck off, so they can get back to some semblance of a mature party committed to genuine democracy. That would be nice.

          If it takes an indictment against Trump to curtail his malignant influence, then I would welcome that indeed. But otherwise I don’t care that much.

    Many GOP RINOs voted for the commission, so will the RINOs in the Senate. Rumors are flying that these anti-Trump RINOs want to start a party to run in 2024 to make sure that Trump cannot win. I think these are the residue of the Bush-Cheney crew. If it means they will become irrelevant, let them. They all voted for Biden last time so who cares.

    The GOP is about to split, but so are the Democrats. The same thing happened before CW1, except it was Whigs and Democrats. The GOP came rocketing out with Lincoln and won.

    A new party is needed with MAGA And America First as its creed. No America Haters allowed. And we need the CW in some form to decide whether this country will continue to exist. The Deep State must be knocked down and hard to save the country. Trump ‘s intentions were good but it takes more than one man to stop the domestic enemy.

    It may be too late!

      I don’t know about too late. Right now enough of the US economy is still functioning at least well enough to keep the Deep State on its feet, even if collapse has already demolished wide areas of the country.

      Maybe I’m a starry eyed optimist, but this nonsensical economic system won’t go on. And, in the final collapse, whether it’s a controlled demolition or more likely an uncontrolled crash, look to the Deep State to get severely degraded in reach and capacity.

      The first priority in my opinion should be the reshoring of supply chains. It makes zero sense to the Fed to apply so-called stimulus if the effect of said stimulus is to keep Chinese factories humming and Chinese workers at their jobs at the cost of debauching the US dollar.

        The first priority in my opinion should be the reshoring of supply chains. It makes zero sense to the Fed to apply so-called stimulus if the effect of said stimulus is to keep Chinese factories humming and Chinese workers at their jobs at the cost of debauching the US dollar.

        What are going to do? Mandate that everything in Target, Home Depot, and Walmart has to come from American factories and not Chinese ones? It seems to me that horse has well and truly bolted.

        They would all close tomorrow.

        One of the points I believe the PTB either don’t understand or ignore is the fact that economies do NOT just happen, they are caused.

        Push or pull economies. Push economies come from supply side, pull from the demand side. There has to be a reason for a supply chain to form. The sum of all supply chains is the economy.

        A supply side chain forms when a supplier creates something that “sells itself”. Good examples are in high tech. Cell phones made by Apple jump off the shelves. Everyone will buy the latest mousetrap. Reagan’s economy was based on supply side economics. Commodities are pushed into the marketplace.

        Demand side chains form when people want or need the commodity. The stimulus programs from the government gives money to everyone to increase the economy. Increased demand expands the supply chains. Commodities are pulled into the marketplace.

        The total economy is a combination of both. The main point is that economies are pulled/pushed into existence, they do not just happen.

        The US economy of the Depression was the result of an evil sick marketplace. Innovations such as the tractor destroyed livelihoods which in turn made the US capable of supplying its needs with 3/4 of the people working. The other 1/4, well they sat in the cities working for survival on Fed work programs. Others starved.

        How to create 25% more jobs? Create a war! It worked!

      Rumors are flying that these anti-Trump RINOs want to start a party to run in 2024 to make sure that Trump cannot win.

      I don’t know about the rumors, but I strongly expect that neither Trump nor Biden will be on the ticket from August 2024. And if the Republicans split (which I also doubt), then surely that almost guarantees a Democrat victory, no?

        President Harris she couldn’t even get 1% in her primaries.
        What has she done as VP? She has been content to hide in the shadows and deal with some lower level foreign government officials.
        Giggling like an imbecile when asked a question is hardly reassuring to anyone of any intellect.

        https://www.newsweek.com/video-kamala-harris-laughing-border-crisis-question-fuels-republican-outrage-1578014

        Vice President Kamala Harris is under fire from opponents on the right after laughing while taking questions from reporters about what Republicans are terming a “crisis” at the southern border.

        Harris spoke with journalists outside Air Force One in Florida on Monday to answer questions about the border, where President Joe Biden is grappling with a surge in new arrivals, particularly of unaccompanied minors. Harris was in Florida as part of a tour around the country to promote the American Rescue Plan COVID relief bill.

        Asked if she “plans to visit” the frontier, Harris paused before responding, “Not today,” and laughing with the reporters. Harris then added: “I have before and I’m sure I will again.”

        Hardly the mark of a person with a finger on the pulse and in way over her head.

        • JohnAZ May 20, 2021 at 10:28 am #

          Harris is a personification of the Democratic credo. No ideas, no action, spend all your time making up excuses for inactivity, create an enemy to distract folks with. To make it all work, you must have that enemy, politicians know that as a given.

          Harris will continue doing nothing. The strings moving Biden originate somewhere else.

          I wonder if Biden has official tasters for his food and drink. The Secret Service certainly have him bottled up in the WH. I do notice that Harris is always with Biden when he graces us with his presence. Do you think he maybe obeying the adage,

          Keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer.

          • benr May 20, 2021 at 10:45 am #

            All I needed to know about Harris was when she was asked about prosecuting people for smoking dope and when confronted for her own marijuana use she cackled like an idiot and never answered the actual question.
            The true sign of a nut.

        • MaryV May 20, 2021 at 10:46 am #

          She has some weird personality disorder. The uncontrolled, loud, and inappropriate cackling, for starters. What sets that off? I am guessing when she doesn’t know the answer to something, which is most of the time.

          • JohnAZ May 20, 2021 at 11:24 am #

            She is a power only motivational person. Add on egomania and you end up with a sociopathic personality. A perfect candidate for office in DC.

    ” Kesa

    Is the word ‘bitching’ supposed to suggest that you think a trading country could separate itself from its biggest trading partner without suffering any damage?

    Or because you think small businesses shouldn’t care if new regulations cause them to shrink or collapse entirely?

    You are clearly right that I did discuss the damage that would be done by Brexit long before Covid. ”

    — GreenAlba

    Short , simple explanation ;

    ” You are clearly right that I did discuss the damage that would be done by Brexit long before Covid. ”

    ^ Yes, that is what my statement meant.

    It was , though , a very brief statement , and COULD , VERY WELL , be interpreted as actually a back – handed swipe disguised as mere confirmation of correct chronology.

    So I will try to unpack it long form .

    ” Is the word ‘bitching’ supposed to suggest …. ”

    Maybe you have noticed I scarcely , or never , write a single paragraph without at least one , ” Fuck ” , “Shit ” , or ” God damn ” ?

    CFN is one place where I CAN just go ahead and write shit.

    Like a restaurant I can actually smoke in.

    You bet I’m going to fucking take advantage of it.

    Though , it seems to me , ” take advantage of ” is something of a misnomer.

    Ten thousand places where I cannot , versus one place where I can , doesn’t strike me as gross license.

    Anyway —

    Demographics ebb and flow on CFN , year to year , and even month to month.

    Lately it seems — to use a simile from American Baseball — that typically , when you step up to the plate to bat , you are facing two , three , or four pitchers throwing fast balls at you at the same time !

    Whatever the topic.

    At two , three , or four to one odds , it seemed to me only fair to point out that you were knocking Brexit before Covid even appeared on the radar.

    But there are other factors.

    “Politics makes strange bedfellows ” , and I’m apparently no exception.

    There ARE several people here I’m inclined to go easy on.

    I wanted to set the record strait , and be fair , but didn’t want to give the impression that I was jumping their asses.

    Another factor ;

    It does seem like an eccentricity peculiar to myself , never the less , at the end of the day , I really only have my own experience and world view to go by.

    And as I see things , as I have said before , the frankest and sincerest hatred doesn’t bother me so much.

    Even an honest – to – god mortal threat ( at least after the initial adrenaline rush passes ) doesn’t seem to particularly bother me either.

    But people who smile at you , and say nice things to you , when the reality is they wouldn’t piss on you if you were dieing of thirst ?

    I hate those sons of bitches.

    But I fancy that door swings both ways.

    That is , I am loathe to give the impression that I am a friend or a friendly when I am not.

    Hence the brief , and undoubtedly opaque , statement .

    —-

    Brexit ?

    I’m not really comfortable with the subject , either as abstract matter of expertise ( except to say my default is always subsidiarity ) ,

    or personally.

    I would rather devote my energies to things like ;

    God damn the United States ,

    and German reunification broke my fucking heart.

    Stuff like that.

    The Austrian school of economic thinking certainly couldn’t be put to work back around 2008, and it would have been just as ineffective, even disastrous, under the present circumstances. Decisions and motivations of individuals and free ‘natural’ markets have become pipe dream derivatives.

    The Keynesian approach on steroids has been the way to go, leading us to who knows where, and I wonder what Milton Friedman, the monetarist and advisor to Reagan and Thatcher, would have to say about the current rapidly increasing money supply.

    The ‘decommodification’ of money has been in play for about fifty years now, and we continue to push the envelope in this new territory, creating more and more magical ‘money’ as if mocking gold bugs like Alan Greenspan and Peter Schiff. We got out of the ‘Bretton Woods’ and ventured into the Fiat Forest.

    The Euro leads one to think of a global currency. Keynes actually backed the idea, and Tim Geithner was also warm to it. The Euro has its problems, and so would a global currency on a larger scale, but think about the positives as an intellectual exercise. Call it the ‘global’. Could a ‘global’ crash, or even go lower? If so, against what?

    Deflation was the concern back in 2008. Now it looks like inflation could be the major worry, and who knows how high it’ll go. All sorts of books have been written about various collapse scenarios, the endlessly dying dollar, roads to ruin, etc. They all seem to offer the same old advice, like have a diversified portfolio, some real estate, and, last but not least, some gold and silver. What kind of help is that to the average, middle class family, not to mention the less fortunate who may not even be able to afford gas for their Dinocars?

    Problematic distortions of the ‘market place’ would result from enacting proposals like Nixon’s wage-price controls, along with roars of laughter and seas of scorn. Hilarious, in these days of Holocene hypertrophy and culminating complexity.

    Could Ice Nine be in our not too distant future? Remember Greece and Cypress. At a G20 meeting in 2014, in Brisbane, Australia, attended by Obama and Merkel, ‘bail-in’ power was established with the FSB, meaning that future bank losses could be ‘absorbed’ by depositors if necessary.

    Schumpeter believed that capitalism’s success would also be the cause of its downfall, giving rise to those who attack the very system responsible for their existence, giving rise to socialism and then fascism. Sound familiar?

    The Die-Centennial seems far away, but the possibility of precursors is likely. Felix Somary, back in 1927 said, like JHK is saying today, that “the crash will come from the gap between appearances and reality. I have never seen such stormy weather gathering.”

    So what should we call today’s ‘school’ of economics? Is our current situation the best example of ‘voodoo’ economics? Shall we call it the Fantasy school, or the M (magical, mysterious, etc.) school, or the Uncertainty school? Maybe, but economies are always at least a bit uncertain.

    Actually, it’s a combination of all of the above and it’s called MMT or Modern Monetary Theory. No, not MIT, but MMT. The MMT school of the poisoned mind, essentially a National school that says money has value because the State says it does. The False God. The False God that offers no salvation, no security and no sensibility, but only a seductive lure into the graveyard of laissez faire and libertarianism and into the cold crypt of capitalism.

      The ‘decommodification’ of money has been in play for about fifty years now, and we continue to push the envelope in this new territory, creating more and more magical ‘money’ as if mocking gold bugs like Alan Greenspan and Peter Schiff. We got out of the ‘Bretton Woods’ and ventured into the Fiat Forest.

      50 years. Exactly. President Nixon detethered the US$ from gold on August 1, 1971.

      Alan Greenspan was a gold bug during his illustrious academic career but was the Fiat Forest Ranger when running the Fed.

      • tucsonspur May 20, 2021 at 6:43 pm #

        Thank you! Yes, he did say we could print our way out of any possible default, among other things.

        In 2014, he told us that all of the stimulus under Ben Bernanke did not work.

        “Effective demand is dead in the water,” Greenspan told the WSJ, adding the money-printing “did not work.”

        As all of this continues, only those at the top are benefitting to any appreciable extent.

        Greenspan’s advice back then? Buy Gold!

      • O.G. Hawkins May 20, 2021 at 10:42 am #

        If you got pretty damn sick with the COVID (whether natural or Fauci-made) then you have natural immunity. A vax for you is not neccessary (even under their bull shit scenario) and could be very damaging to your already-immune immunity system.

        You should be able to claim personal exemption from their fucking poison, imho, benr.

        • JohnAZ May 20, 2021 at 11:35 am #

          We do not know how long the immunity lasts. Benr has survived the actual disease. The chances he will over react to a vaccine are just about nil. How long is he guaranteed to be immune? The newest data says about 250 days, based on the half life of antibodies being 60 days. It also looked like memory B cells are created which will extend the immune period, maybe to life. You just do not do not know right now.

          Benr, do what you think is right for you.

          • Yohannon May 20, 2021 at 11:50 am #

            The animals in the experiments died, John. The vaccine amped up their immune system too much and it killed them when they encountered the real thing. Homeostasis. Everything in balance. Too much of a good thing is no longer good.

            You’re giving bad advice.

          • GreenAlba May 20, 2021 at 11:51 am #

            I have friends who had Covid early on last year (the wife is one of the two who lost an unvaccinated best friend to it in March) and they were both vaccinated in Feb/March without the slightest repercussion.

            I wouldn’t be entirely shocked, though, it it turned out that getting a vaccinationwhile you unknowingly have Covid wasn’t a good idea, as per the journal article someone posted that said being at the high point of a pandemic in a particular place (e.g. india) wasn’t the best time to vaccinate.

            However, I totally agree with the suggestion that if your employer coerces you in any way to be vaccinated when you don’t want to, they should sign a liability agreement.

            In the UK if you have to voluntarily leave your job because of some coercive or bullying issue, you can sue them for ‘constructive dismissal’. I presume there is an equivalent in the US. It would be interesting to see how that would work out.

          • GreenAlba May 20, 2021 at 11:55 am #

            Where is your evidence that ‘the animals died’ and which animals are you talking about?

            The lead author of the paper written about the study from 2012(?) said the animals in that study didn’t die, regardless of what was whizzing round the Interwebz. Some got low platelet counts, but recovered. And he insists the platforms used by the current vaccines are entirely different. I’m guessing he knows more about the subject than either you or me.

            The current vaccines were successfully tested on animals.

    Up in Mass., new Climate Change bill that mandates all kinds of changes to new construction; builders claim, if all the mandates are implemented, cost of a new house will increase by $80,000. The State Senator who sponsored the law sez no problem, you can afford it. Besides it’s for the Climate, any who opposes it is anti science.

    The increase in the price of lumber adds $26,000 to the building of a house. Janet Yellin tells us not too worry about inflation. I think the goal is … get us living in their stinking Section 8 housing towers. THANKS SLEEPY JOE!

    • O.G. Hawkins May 20, 2021 at 10:26 am #

      In an economic sense, Heckler, the short-run to new houses jumping $106k in cost in CT makes demand for existing real estate increase as home-buyers switch from new to used.

      Economically speaking, CT homeowners with houses “as Good as new” have been handed a net worth windfall. Of course, it is extremely inflationary so net worth measured in US$ goes up while value of US$ goes down but an individual’s net worth increase far outweighs the diluted inflationary decrease.

      Ultimately, this is short-term Good news for anyone with a nice CT house who wants to sell and move to a different market. Of course, the $26k in Canadian lumber portion* of the windfall will be a wash if the seller stays in the USA.

      I love Economics. Not 2021’s in particular by the study and practice of the discipline itself.

      * The windfall is not $80k + $26k = $106k. Rather those increases in new houses will increase demand for used houses with new price points moving towards that $106k amount.

      • JohnAZ May 20, 2021 at 10:40 am #

        Remember cars before the anti pollution safety revolution of the eighties and nineties. They were cheap. The government forced the design changes onto the automobile that increased their prices by a thousand percent. The government caused the inflation, whether it was a good idea or not.

        Now we have the government starting to make requirements on housing and commercial building that is going to increase prices on them. Already is!

        Look for the guilty party for the declining dollar, look no farther than Washington, DC. The impoverishment of the US is being driven, not just caused, by the Federal government.

      I mentioned it before, but it is the same here in Germany. We had to invest a fair amount (and still do) to fully remodel our 80-year old house, but it appears that house values on our street have jumped by an average of 250k in the 2.5 years since we arrived.

        Have you noticed the boom in apartment construction happening at the same time as the dearth of houses? Do you think that the PTB are preparing the US for its third world status in the housing market?

        • Night Owl May 20, 2021 at 11:02 am #

          I think it is all part of the faux-Green Agenda, which is really just the elimination of the middle class and upward mobility around the world.

          We live in a fairly nice area in a cottage-style house built in the 30s (as part of a Nazi housing project, no less). Big yard, but house is small. Ten years ago this place was probably worth 350k. Right now it is worth about 850, and in another few, I have no doubt it will hit 1 million.

          In many parts of Germany they have introduced regulations banning the construction of new single family homes. New construction is low-rise type apartments, and depending on the area (cities), towers.

    “Any chance you might enter the 21st Century any time soon? This devotion to ancient texts is the greatest diversion of the rational mind known to humankind. We have the Enlightenment in the meantime. Thank god for atheists, I say.”

    Oh. Enlightenment. Is that what we do indeed have? Because I took your statement as an indication and signal that the conversation was rather focused on what we shall not have. And perhaps that should come as no surprise since in the 21st Century, as in all others, addition and subtraction still occur, despite intersectional misgivings. So that what is your Enlightenment is necessarily anothers Dark Age. And most will credit your victory of the age as bringing to the world the gifts of Modernity and Science. But what you exchanged for those were Devotion and the respect of the Wisdom of the Ancients. Which to you may be of as little value as the mounds of discarded radioactive plastc waste dotting your Enlightened planet. And yet the Ancients in their Enlightment enjoyed the songs of the Stars, and the low frequency hum of the Moon as it orbited Earth, and the Sacred Forests. And now all things and all Life are numbered and harvested to be consumed. And the measure of health in your world is the excesses of greed and profit and adherence to the morals of vanity and self serving virtues solely for public display. So again, is this really what you call Enlightenment?

        Here, it has cooled down from a few days ago as well (in the 60’s (F) rather than upper 70’s and 80’s).

        Good bicycling and hiking weather!

I personally have to have humidity. It is so good for your skin and hair really in the long run. But I know the dryer air is more comfortable for many/most? people.

    It is a pollutant.
    But not the kind one would assume.
    It is called a meme.
    The Dawkin variety. Not the clever photo w/words type.
    This pollutant most easily spreads in echo chambers with magnification accelerators. And dopamine feedback algos.
    AKA: Social media.
    For instance. Did you notice the people rush buying gasoline last week? I witnessed one acquaintance run out to a service station after panic scrolling on a social media app. Numerous photos of rather stupid and or fragile looking people waiting in lines for gas.
    Their panic screen told them.
    Their electronic leash.
    It planted an idea.
    Now there are gay people regardless. Obviously.
    They are that way. As others are not.
    But there are also those that think they are.
    But probably are not.
    Or want to be something more than.. average.
    They prefer non-binary. It’s non-committal.
    And there are attention starved normie parents.
    That need the status a non-binary kid can fetch one these days.
    In the chamber, it gets respect.
    It gets noticed.
    You can add the identifiers. The flags.
    You can signal.
    You’re one of them. Not one of them.

      Hmmm. Mind parasites. I sort of think of it as people who have worms in their brain and as the worms bore through and create lots of tunnels all of the synaptic connections are destroyed and the hosts experience short circuits. And maybe that is another reason an outside hive brain must be created in the ether.

      And another friend got Bell’s Palsy.

    • JohnAZ May 20, 2021 at 11:05 am #

      Uh, just the same as the disease itself.

      Surprise, one of the first things that was noted of the disease is that it was not the virus that killed folks, it was their immune systems over reacting to the invasion.

      Maybe the same thing is happening as the immune system over reacts to the vaccine generated antigens.

      One thing I do wonder though on the “goodness” of the mRNA approach. When the mRNA is absorbed into the body cells to create the spike proteins which are the antigens, does the death of the body cells create over reaction by the immune system. All vaccines have side effects as the immune system reaction is what makes us feel sick, Covid disease, being more “vicious”, may make the vaccine reaction more vicious. Could it be that future viruses, better at invading us, might make the whole concept of immunization too dangerous.

      Right now, the unknown is the main problem with the vaccine. Going in, do you have a guarantee that your immune system will not over react and injure or kill you in response to the spike proteins.

      Nope, when I got jabbed, I understood that but took the risk. I was fortunate that I did not react much. I would think that MDs would tell patients with histories of allergies or auto immune problems to steer clear of this vaccine. Any immune system abnormality is a cause for alarm. A big contraindication to me would be any prior reaction to a flu shot, or any other vaccine.

      • JohnAZ May 20, 2021 at 11:14 am #

        Bottom line

        How does you predict how you are going to react to the vaccine? Do the very small percentage reactions warrant the stopping of the vaccine? So far, the public says no.

        Unfortunately, our government is going to use the vaccination as one more way to divide and control us. I am amazed at how many retailers and people themselves that continue the mandatory masks even after the vaccine has driven down the virus density.

        Honestly, during “flu season”, I will probably distance and wear a mask inside as a way to keep people from spitting on me inadvertently. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

      • SoftStarLight May 20, 2021 at 11:19 am #

        Does anyone for real actually even know what covid is? It sounds like covid can be anything you want it to be. A catch all. When one catches a cold, or a coronavirus, it is not typically referred to as a disease. Why is covid a disease? A disease is a disorder of structure or function. It sounds like the vaccines create disease..

        • JohnAZ May 20, 2021 at 11:54 am #

          Homeostasis is a key word here. The lack of Homeostasis causes the body to malfunction and cause disease.

          Is Covid a disease? Or an inflammatory agent? Does immune over reaction cause homeostasis to be upset? Does the presence of this virus in autopsies qualify it as the killer, the ultimate definition of a disease. Covid has had its picture taken many times in vitro.

          Sidebar. Is alcoholism or drug abuse a disease? Another good question.

          Covid virus compromises the human organism by over reaction of the immune system. It kills by using the body to kill itself. If the body is compromised already with immune disorders, lung or heart problems, it does not have the reserve to counter the effects of the immune response.

          That is Covid. By itself, not a killer. Definitely an up setter of homeostasis. Definitely a agent that culls out weak human organisms. A big question is.

          Should the virus be the cause of death when it causes a weak organism to die due to its own machinations?

          Is it a disease?

          Officially but unofficially since it is never publicly acknowledged, Covid is three diseases – itself, pneumonia, and influenza. It says so on the CDC site. And that is simply crazy. But it was one way to jack up the number of deaths. The number of cases was taken care of the by the fraudulent PCR test.

          It explains Dr Birx’s little smile as she said, We are interpreting Covid very liberally.

    “Debate over germline engineering is therefore most critical, because as changes to “downline” genetic offspring are set in motion, the genotype and phenotype (nature, physical makeup, and behavior) of mankind will be altered with no hope of reversal, thereby permanently reshaping humanity’s future. In spite of that, according to “ethicists” like Oxford University Professor Julian Savulescu, not only do we have “a moral obligation” to engineer such people, but embryos that do not meet certain genetic improvements in the future should not be allowed to live.[xv] Dr. Richard Seed, a physicist in Chicago, goes further, warning anybody who has plans of standing in the way of this dream that they had better rethink their opposition: “We are going to become gods, period. If you don’t like it, get off. You don’t have to contribute, you don’t have to participate, but if you are going to interfere with me becoming a god, you’re going to have trouble. There’ll be warfare.”[xvi] Professors Seed and Savulescu are not alone in their strong beliefs. Dr. Gregory Stock, a respected proponent of germline technology, argues that man not only has a moral responsibility to “improve” the human genotype, but also that powerful new technology now at our disposal for transcending existing biological limitations is making the schemes of transhumanists inevitable, if not imminent. “We have spent billions to unravel our biology, not out of idle curiosity, but in the hope of bettering our lives,” he says. “We are not about to turn away from this.”[xvii] Elsewhere, Stock does admit, however, that this could lead to “clusters of genetically enhanced superhumans who will dominate if not enslave us.”[xviii]”

    There is no new thing under the sun. We already have people who believe [ ! ] they are super-human and are determined to be false gods [ rulers ].

    Meanwhile, in NY, A bill allowing fr the detention of anyone who is ‘threatening the health’ of others:

    https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2021/A416

    They are pulling out all the stops. They need to convince the public that anyone who is unvaxxed is dangerous and a bioweapon.

    Will the public allow this to fly?

    My guess? Yes. The paranoia installed via relentless propaganda and social media and the TV for 14 months has made sure of it.

      Passports for HIV, the flu, Herpes Simplex, Herpes Zoster? Anything is possible.

      You know Goebbels would have been proud of the US government, the CDC and the WHO for their propagandizing this virus outbreak.

    Breitbart

    A 900-year-old church in East Yorkshire will have damaged carvings replaced with figures celebrating feminist and Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) figures.

    The woke restoration project of St Mary’s Church in Beverley is being spearheaded by Vicar Reverend Rebecca Lumley and has been approved by the Church of England.

    The church, which dates back to the year 1120, is set to feature replacement carvings celebrating Polish-French physicist Marie Curie, British-Jamaican businesswoman Mary Seacole, airship engineer Hilda Lyon, aviator Amy Johnson, astronaut Helen Sharman, feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, and Queen Elizabeth II.

    Explaining her decision to focus on feminist and BAME icons, Vicar Reverend Rebecca Lumley told the local Hull Daily Mail: “The contribution of women to humanity isn’t always properly recognised in the telling of history, and throughout history, women’s voices have been silenced.

    “We take seriously the Church’s role in battling inequality and injustice. And so we hope that this project will help highlight the remarkable achievements of these women, and provide hope and inspiration for future generations.”

    Yoho: The Church of England died a long time ago. Now its dead body is reanimating as something else. If these short haired women would just call themselves Priestesses, I wouldn’t mind so much. Grow your hair long. Stop tricking the gullible. Admit this is an unhealthy, non historical form of Paganism.

    SWEDISH LUTHERAN CHURCH DECLARES ITSELF ‘TRANS’.

    Apparently in Sweden transvestites have their own flag, and the Swedish Lutheran Church flies it above the National Flag.

    With a population of 10 million, and Transvestites averaging about .006% of the population, how many transvestites can there possibly be in Sweden? One has to wonder, WTF is the point? Is it just pandering, or is it something else? Also, I’m sure the militant Islamists — of which Sweden is full of — are impressed.

    At any rate, Muzzy immigrants are complaining about the Swedish National Flag, the gold cross in a sea of blue … it needs to be changed, but too what? A muzzy cutting off the head of a blond infidel with a curved sword sounds about right. Am I’m sure most Swedes — with their feminist foreign and domestic policy — would be down with it.

          Some of those queens were subsequently arrested for having kiddie porn and one flashing their crotch to the toddlers in attendance. Others have pics of toddlers on top of them as they roll on the floor.

    GA,

    You said, “You’re Tony Soprano.” I’m not making it up. I had to explain to you that I said that I was like TS. TruStory

    As for your misunderstanding of my perfectly fine English:

    “I will be Happy when Jesus rules Earth and multitudes are burning in Hell.”

    The statement is ambiguous. It means that multitudes burning in Hell is happening simultaneously to Jesus’s 1,000-year reign. The 1,000-year reign is that which will make me Happy, and you know it but won’t admit it.

    Much like saying that I spoke of hallucinations on a bad trip when I said neither. No apology. No, “I stand corrected.” Just ignored in standard GA, SCB m.o.

    Anyway, now that we are down to ridiculous semantics for your desperate win on some ludicrous technicality, can we judge me on my words & their intended meanings? Is that ok?

    That is, regardless of your complete lack of understanding of the logic of cause/effect vs. coincidence in the English language structure, GA, you need give me a new nickname as the multitudes burning in Hell (where God deems that they belong) would not be the source of my Happiness. Jesus’ 1,000-year reign would be the source of my Happiness. And you know it. For shame.

    LHB or LBH does not apply to me or my beliefs so cut it out!

    You, on the other hand, must believe in magic, explosion-proof paper passports (i.e. the official Zelikow report), abstain or acknowledge that TPTB are engineering Biblical evil against us and that maybe we should not Trust them spiking us.

    People who choose 1) or 2) above are children who can fittingly be called a Santa-Claus Believer, Green Alba, SCB.

    That’s the difference, GA. I do not deserve LHB or LBH while you do deserve SCB.

        You do have my apology for wrongly (mis)remembering something i thought you said about hallucinations and a drugs experience. I must have misunderstood it at the time.

        But anyone who thinks that I meant you literally said you were Tony Soprano? What the fuck does that even mean? There is no point in talking to such a person, sorry.

        • GreenAlba May 20, 2021 at 7:07 pm #

    Science is very important to me because it helps us understand the truths of the physical world, and it utilizes the higher functions of the brain – reason and logic. over the past several centuries, scientific methodology has evolved to the point where it can be used to accurately describe many real-world phenomena, but only if it is used correctly.

    one very important process that gives rise to accurate final results is the use of Occam’s razor to ascertain whether a cause is correct – the most likely explanation is the simplest one.

    I get irritated when conspiracy theorists employ far-out explanations that make little sense, because they don’t tend to describe what really caused a phenomenon, uselessly burn up mental and emotional energy, and therefore ultimately harm society.

    A good example is the conspiracy theory of 9/11, particularly the claim that building 7’s collapse could have only been caused by an explosion pre-wired in the building. I bring this up because the description of the event has gotten much play in this comment section.

    Rather than try to explain why this theory is not accurate, I’m providing a link to a webpage that describes why the public explanation is most likely correct.

      Anyway, Shill, I thought you were researching how many people Hitler genocided. Any progress on that front? We all know that it was 6,000,000 Jews Genocided but is it not weird that none of us know how many non-Jews Hitler genocided?

      I get irritated when conspiracy theorists employ far-out explanations that make little sense, because they don’t tend to describe what really caused a phenomenon, uselessly burn up mental and emotional energy, and therefore ultimately harm society.

      Indeed – it would be sobering and salutary to check how many posts on here out of the (current) 1,416 are based on a conspiracy theory of one form or another … it would be incredible high, I expect.

      And we know that many posters on this very free-wheeling board are only here because they’ve been kicked off elsewhere – but still – why have they all rejected science and fact-finding, and all manner of other rational strategies that make us humans smarter than yeast?

      Of particular focus is the Armageddon or dooms-day cult that has emerged here over the last 6-12 months … that the alleged PTB are using Covid-19 to head towards a massive population cull. It is so laughingly fallacious that it’s hard to know how to deal with it, how to respond.

      I would like to suggest if we are all still here in a year – on 21 May 2022 – they all shut the fuck up, and start talking sensibly about other stuff that JHK raises – like the economy, politics, and the culture of America.

      But they won’t – they are all pod-persons … their brains have been sucked dry by the lizard people. They will be all SO disappointed if the vaxxed aren’t writhing in the streets inside 12 months.

    I guess we aren’t dying fast enough.

    The first ‘experimental’ ‘vaccine’ was given to people who mostly didn’t know or were told it was experimental. So since no one did their homework and said, ‘hey, wait a minute, what’s going on here?” Or even bothered to be horrified about it, now they are going to flood the market with more experimental vaccines.

    They are still in trials which are not being followed up on. So, essentially, lab rats, without the follow-up.

    Our esteemed host tells us of a country full of people that can barely support themselves let alone a family.

    When my dad retired in the mid-1990s he was earning about 18 bucks an hour as a warehouse worker for a large Chicago based company. When I was a high school and university student decades prior I worked in the same place but on the production floor for a few bucks an hour. Given prices in those days, it was enough.

    Anyway, that company put food on the table, paid for my education and kept the wheels on the household for about 30 years. My dad had just elementary school back in Europe which came to a screeching halt with the instabilities of the time. Now, consider that a man who was barely literate in English could earn a breadwinner wage, support four people, pay for a house plus several cars over the course of his life and fund a decent retirement that lasted about 20 years.

    This was nothing out of the ordinary. There were literally tens of millions or hundreds of millions like him, with comparable levels of education, all over N. America and western Europe in the post war period, living a comparable life.

    My dad earned about 44Gs the last year he worked including bonuses and some overtime. Now, just for laughs, let’s assume that inflation averaged about 2.5% per year over the last 25 years. In today’s money someone that earned 44G 25 years ago doing warehouse labor would have to make almost 80Gs to be in roughly the same place in terms of purchasing power. Yeah, that’s IF inflation was 2.5% per year. And that was a back of the napkin calculation. One online inflation calculator says 77Gs, a different one sez about the same.

    But let me ask you, how many warehouse workers make that kind of dough given today’s Amazon-style work-your-workers-to-death-and-pay-them-shit business model? I heard through the grapevine that at one such facility they were getting fifteen bucks an hour, a bit over 30Gs per year IF they work 40 hours per week.

    In today’s world of microcephalic SJWs telling us what’s what, it doesn’t fly to say that the glue that holds society together, that holds men and women together as long-term couples or till death do you part, that keeps families intact, is breadwinner wages for men. I’m sure it must be illegal to say it and I’m sure the Thought Police will be breaking down my door. But fuck ’em.

    That’s the deal, nothing bloody functions unless dad can earn enough to support the household and so that mom can stay home and take care of the family. I’ve seen up close the marital mayhem and familial crackups, the screwed up and stressed out kids. Families don’t function, economies don’t function, financial markets don’t function, the clearest indicator of the latter being interest rates of damn near zero, interest rates being the economy’s blood pressure.

    I’ve said this before, that the cranial screws holding a guys head together are a wife and family, you know, a chick that’s willing to let him hump her and bear his kids. This is where a guy mainly gets is self-image and self respect and and mission in life and what keeps him sane and in good working order.

    But to do this he needs a JOB that pays enough. And this is something that the big thinkers in the academies, the C-suites, the think-tanks, the august legislative chambers and offices where decisions are made, cannot get their heads around.

    They say get a college education. I say blow me. Not everyone is cut out for college just like Manhattan lawyers aren’t cut out for high-rise building trades or the average cop isn’t cut out to be an accountant.

    I haven’t darkened the doors of my alma mater for many years, but it seems that what happens in those places isn’t an enhancement in the level of knowledge and ability to reason but an impairment. They teach kids shit and drive them out of their minds.

      I could not agree more. The colleges and universities are mainly indoctrination centers. I had heard this said by conservatives for a long time and pooh-poohed it, until I went back to finish my degree in 2015. I couldn’t believe the liberal indoctrination. I was impervious to it, being old already, and not an impressionable 19 year old. But it was palpable.

      AND that was not even close to what it’s become 6 years later. When I left, they were only just starting on the pronoun nonsense. It was more about being a proud blue no matter who.

      NOW? It’s the trans agenda and anti-racism and equity in addition to the blue-no-matter-who. So you’re a conservative? Good fucking luck in the university system.

      It’s diversity and indoctrination first, and actual learning, second.

      V. Odd thing about Amazon is the workers keep voting down the union. If any place needs to be unionized its Amazon warehouses.

      • volodya May 20, 2021 at 10:25 pm #

        Odd yes, but maybe not so odd. Most younger people have no clue about what came before and how degraded things are now. Maybe a type of landscape amnesia, or maybe historical amnesia. But you bet, Amazon begs to be unionized.

        • Ron Anselmo May 21, 2021 at 12:02 am #

          Not historical amnesia – erasing history, so there’s no point of reference – that’s the plan.

      • MaryV May 20, 2021 at 11:00 pm #

        They get incentivised/coerced/threatened not to unionize.

        • volodya May 20, 2021 at 11:01 pm #

          That too.

        • beantownbill. May 20, 2021 at 11:15 pm #

          Yes. I guess you’ve read about Amazon’s phony 5-star reviews, so we don’t really know what they’re doing behind the scenes to stifle unions.

      • benr May 21, 2021 at 10:04 am #

        To be honest most Unions suck I have been in three and they all did fuck all for the people paying the dues.

        Watched my father in law get screwed over by a union as well.

      Jesus wept … you spent paragraphs detailing the problems that JHK has talked about for ever – the destruction of unionized labor and good jobs right across manufacturing America, that survived from say 1945 to 1985.

      Ronald Reagan started the decline, and it has continued apace since then.

      But then you go and spoil it all by claiming that the “cause” is some form of WOKE horseradish. Comrade – the problem is capitalism and the global movement of investment – and the exporting of all better-paid jobs to low-cost countries, and the destruction of unions back in the US.

      It’s not a cultural issue, it’s an economic one … any good Marxist can tell you that!

    First, architects aren’t scientists or engineers, they’re basically designers. When an architect designs a building, he employs an engineer to check whether or not his design will work out. Architects aren’t experts on stress levels – they’re shmexperts.

    Second, for every thousand engineers who say there was a bldg. 7 explosion, they’re ten thousand who believe otherwise.

    Look at the two websites that I posted. There’s plenty of evidence for no explosives used on the building. But Hawkins doesn’t specifically debunk anything shown on the websites.

    Instead Hawkins resorts to childish name calling. If he can call me Shill, I guess I can call him Jawkins. Or Onerous Garbagebrain (O.G.), I haven’t decided yet. If he keeps up the juvenile stuff, I will counter that it’s up to him.

        And don’t you ever think I missed your little snarky gem upthread. Pretentious, incoherent, cosmic Big Thoughts. How dare you speak to me that way. You’re not a Martian. And guess what Earthling. You’re on a list too. And it will be checked thrice.

          What drugs are you on tonight? No idea what you’re talking about … if indeed you are addressing your comments at me. Please explain!

      • beantownbill. May 21, 2021 at 10:34 am #

        True, but see my post down thread that will explain why.

    • SoftStarLight May 21, 2021 at 2:48 am #

      And so you just fell into the trap just like that Bill? I thought the first three paragraphs were fair and balanced. I wasn’t really certain what to make of the fourth. Garbagebrain made me think of that old saying, or is it a cliche’, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. And if you look at that equation long enough it kinda brings you to the conclusion that Treasurebrain is simply a mirror opposite reality you cannot see. And if everyone is leaping off of a bridge Bill you don’t have to participate. Either way, even your own assertions make clear that the matter is highly debated and hardly settled Science.

        Once the false air of superiority and neutrality is exposed, they all resort to the same thing they claim others do.

        His argument is literally grade-school quality, regardless of what one believes happened.

          Oh look – another one of the Doomsday Crowd has turned up – you are all totally Low IQ laughable – I trust you all know that. Have a great day 🙂

          I will endeavour to call out all the Armageddon / Doomsday Crowd every time I can, but it will be quite hard to keep up. There are a lot of serial nutters on here.

            Crazy people never think that they are the ones with the problem its always everyone else.
            Look in the mirror and do some soul searching if you still have one.

      • beantownbill. May 21, 2021 at 10:33 am #

        I will not and can not countenance pseudo-science, it’s just not in me. I would suggest you study up on critical thinking. No offense intended.

        Long ago, in the dawn of time, I was bullied in school. My natural tendency was to ignore it. But I quickly learned that only encouraged the bullies. Finally, reluctantly, I decided to fight back. Much to my surprise the bullying stopped, whether I won or lost the fistfight. First I thought that I gained their respect, but that wasn’t it. I finally realized they stopped because they didn’t want to pay the price of the physical pain just to try to belittle me. The reward/pain ratio wasn’t high enough.

        That’s why I posted what I did.

    • Night Owl May 21, 2021 at 3:48 am #

      You didn’t even make an argument here.

      “I think there are more engineers who agree with me.”

      LOL.

      Deep and powerful. You realize A&E challenged NIST on collapse times and got them to change their own report?

      No, of course you didn’t know that.

    Oh look – not just a Holocaust Denier, a Global Warming Denier, a Pandemic Denier, but it’s also a 9/11 Denier … there are no limits to the brain-fuck mentality of some people.

    Thank god he’s over in Deutschland, eating sauerkraut and drinking awful beer.

    • Night Owl May 21, 2021 at 9:06 am #

      Hey JHK, any thoughts on banning this fuckstick?

      Holocaust Denier?

      Why do you allow this?

    The Tartan Tornado, Josh Taylor, is in Vegas ready to fight Jose Ramirez. ESPN, Saturday.

    Nothing like a good fight. Mexican vs. the Scot.

    Remember Ken Buchanan? Duran beat him at the Garden.

    You don’t give a shit? Then just eff off and continue to stew in putrid politics, cultural cabals, and equivocal economics.
