Can’t we just all get along?  No, apparently. Branding everyone to the right of Woke a “terrorist” and an “insurrectionist,” as is the style these days with the sore winner party, will probably not warm a whole lot of hearts and minds among the politically disenchanted. It comes with an odor of desperation, too, as if Joe Biden’s consolidated Deep State is so lacking in confidence, even in victory, that it can’t distinguish policy from punishment — and so the beatings will continue until morale improves.

Outside the razor-wired DC perimeter, with its bomb-proof bureaucracy, the economy is in freefall. This has not quite come to the attention of a new regime aroused over systemic racism and the pressing need to expand athletic opportunity for transsexuals. But an inferno is racing across the land like a prairie fire and the remaining American buffalo out there may be inclined to stampede before long. Can Ol’ White Joe hear their distant hoofbeats from the Oval Office? Maybe not with Nancy Pelosi and AOC screaming in his ears.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 779,000 people filed for first-time unemployment the week ended January 30. The news media called that “a beat” because it was under the 830,000 expected. It’s been that way week-after-week this year of Covid-19. Nonfarm business sector labor productivity decreased 4.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2020, the largest quarterly decline in the measure since the second quarter of 1981. Yes, forty years ago, when the US population was 226 million (it’s now 330 million). The stock market responded by smashing new all-time highs. Bad “optics?”

How do you think the value of shares manages to go up, up, up, and away, day-after-day, while the value of the economic activity goes down, down, down day-after-day? Must be Modern Monetary Magic, like the Federal Reserve purchasing $80-billion a month in US Treasury bond issues and another $40-billion in mortgage-backed securities for a grand total of $120-billion a month. The real monetary magic, of course, is that it’s possible to have a Wall Street boom while the economy collapses. The nation’s assets have already been stripped, so where is all this “value” actually coming from? Answer: from the false expectation of enormous future American productivity. It’s false because it’s based on the creation of debt that can’t possibly be paid back…ever. It’s not based on investment in future productive enterprise.

The economy won’t be fixed by policy because the things that have to happen to fix it will be resisted to the death by the parasitical entities feeding on what little remains. For instance, Walmart. Do you think it’s unhealthy that all the profit in American commerce is funneled into Bentonville, Arkansas? It used to be distributed in hundreds of thousands of small businesses in tens of thousands of US towns and cities. What do you think will die first: Walmart or the organism it’s feeding on?

Since the dynamic at work is emergent and non-linear, other forces can come between these relationships and change things. We are already in conflict with China, the land that supplies most of the merchandise in Walmart. The conflict right now is mostly playing out in the capture of US corporate and cultural enterprise, and in cyberwarfare, and it’s liable to hotten up around the continued sovereignty of Taiwan (America’s China). It’s difficult to assign intentions to another country but it appears that China’s China wishes to cancel the USA as the fading hegemon on the world stage, at least neutralize us, and perhaps dominate us. Mr. Trump is no longer in place to resist that, and the country might be forced to consider all those deals that our new president, “China Joe,” enjoyed from the Biden family’s business ventures there over the years.

Emergently, then, the Big Box business model could fail, and in fairly short order, which would at least give Americans a chance to self-reorganize the production and distribution of goods in our own country. It sure won’t be like 1957 again, but it would give an awful lot of idle people more to do when they get up in the morning. Wait for it, and plan accordingly.

In the meantime, we are treated to the sordid spectacle of Democratic Wokesters endeavoring to destroy what remains of American cultural life. It’s an incomparably stupid and malign distraction from the imperatives of this historical moment. They will not succeed in cancelling those who object to the systematic disassembly of our national language, myth, and meaning, even if we have to go back to the mimeograph machine to keep these things alive. They will not turn a republic into a psychopathic despotism. Politics, they say, is downstream from culture. Truth is the antidote to a culture of lies. The upcoming impeachment trial of former president Trump will be a showcase for that, and it may prove to be a hoax too far.

    Concerning the first paragraph, I see the Democratic establishment in a different place. I think that they feel pretty secure in their power and are moving very quickly to consolidate it. Now, they may not succeed in cowing any opposition to their increasing control, but they have the initiative and seem to know how to use it, in contrast to their opposition But, I agree with our host that events may override their great leap forward, meaning the financial collapse that’s looming. This is probably the only event of the year that can derail their momentum and reverse their overreach.

    • Beryl of Oyl February 5, 2021 at 10:14 am #

      I see the NY AG finally moving against Andrew Cuomo as more likely a sign of their power than weakness.

      There is always a shifting at the top after these types of takeovers happen, those who thought they were in find themselves on the outs.

      Andrew was the heir apparent to Joebama, now it looks like the Obama radicals have other ideas.

      Andrew is, after all, a white man.

      • DrTomSchmidt February 5, 2021 at 11:12 am #

        Cuomo has moved from an annoying Progressive destroying New York to the most reactionary figure in .state government. The Dems have a veto-proof majority and can do whatever they like.

        I used to think I’d be glad to see him go, but now he looks to be better than whatever Progressive radical replaces him.

        • Beryl of Oyl February 5, 2021 at 11:23 am #

          He got worse when he tried to suck up to those progressive radicals.
          Infanticide was never his deal, he only came out with that horrifying legislation to prove his bona fides with the Obama crowd.

          He used to be just incompetent and corrupt, which isn’t so unusual for NY.

          I’m wondering if Letitia James has her own eyes on the governorship.

          I could be wrong, maybe she’s someone who has had a parent or grandparent in long term care herself, and doesn’t believesomeone who would take the kind of action he insisted on taking is fit for office.

          • bluekayak February 5, 2021 at 11:39 am #

            She was viewed as a Cuomo loyalist (cat’s paw, even) when she ran for AG but I think she sees the political winds shifting hard to left. My guess is that she will make a bid to primary AC next year. She may well succeed.

        • Yohannon February 5, 2021 at 12:20 pm #

          He’s a mass murderer, putting Covid patients in nursing homes. He proceeded to write a book about how great he handled the pandemic and won an award for his press conferences. He should be reminded of what he did every time he tries to run for any office.

          Others did the same, all over the world in fact. May well have been a Globalist policy to reduce the population.

          • Beryl of Oyl February 5, 2021 at 12:37 pm #

            It’s hard to come up with a benign reason for what Cuomo and Zucker did.
            It’s not as if alternatives weren’t offered. It’s not as if no one warned them what would happen, and as if anyone didn’t plead with them not to do it.

            What it did accomplish was to ramp up the fear dramatically, which led to acquiescence to a primitive totalitarian police state.

          • MaryV February 5, 2021 at 5:46 pm #

            It is, and the vaccine is part II of the genocide (who knows how many parts?). I agree he’s a mass murderer.

            “He’s a mass murderer, putting Covid patients in nursing homes.” – Yoho, you mean, the virus ISN’T a hoax?

            ” May well have been a Globalist policy to reduce the population.” – oh. I thought I read several times here that the death rate is infinitesimal…

            “It is, and the vaccine is part II of the genocide (who knows how many parts?). I agree he’s a mass murderer.” – so, MaryV, do you mean that the vaccine will be more deadly than the #hoaxvirus and that it is a deliberate, conscious plan to kill off those who aren’t as smart as you & others that know it’s all bullshit?

        Blacks.

    • DrTomSchmidt February 5, 2021 at 11:10 am #

      Yes, exactly. You might dislike forcing boys into girls’ sports and locker rooms, but you have to admire the smash-mouth politics that were used to accomplish this. The Democrats might be the evil party, but they know what to do with power when they get it: reward their supporters. Nobody wanted trans athletes in women’s sports but a few powerful D donors. Now they have it.

      black women were the most loyal voting bloc for Biden. We’ve seen some interesting recent appointments that make the case that the economy will do better when black women do better, and they intend to skew the parlaying field that way.

      I don’t have to like it to admire the way the D’s reward their supporters and punish their perceived enemies. Trump, by contrast, rewarded his enemies with the corporate tax cuts, and lost support only amongst white men in 2020 compared to 2016. Perhaps they were less than enthusiastic given his lack of rewards to them and punishment to Trump’s enemies?

      Or, maybe the woke corporations were never Trump’s enemies…

      • Beryl of Oyl February 5, 2021 at 11:27 am #

        I do know of a number of white men, Libertarian leaning, who dropped their support due to his failure to fire Fauci, and the resulting economic nightmare due to the unconstitutional shutdown.

        I became on the outs with my own side, because until anybody would acknowledge that he was all in for that bs, we were never going to get him to back off of it.

      • SpeedyBB February 5, 2021 at 4:08 pm #

        bluedog –

        About China. No matter what one thinks of the PRC dictatorship or their reluctance to disavow The Great Helmsman (who for all the good he did for the welfare of the country could have been a western plant – forty million alone dead from the Great Leap Forward), one must admire Chinese tenacity and devotion to “the long view”. Southeast Asia and Australia are seen as natural fiefdoms, and the current sloshing around of billions from Beijing is bound to exert a desired effect.

        Not to mention the steadily escalating projection of naval power, starting off with the South China Sea bases. Twenty years or even fifty years may well see a dragon-superpower exerting a major influence all across Asia, if not the world.

        Necessary to acknowledge how events may well overtake their ambitious plans as well.

      If not already underway, there is about to be a purge of the military. Wrong thinking cannot be allowed and must be rooted out. So, the current occupants don’t trust their own armed forces. Our congress is crouched behind the barricades they’ve built in DC and it looks more like they are under siege than in control. It doesn’t look like a position of strength to me.

      • Unperson37854 February 5, 2021 at 1:57 pm #

        I’ve heard a few “suggestions” that military and police be required to re-up an oath? Pledge? (to what or who exactly other than the constitution I don’t know) And that if they don’t, they could be discharged or if police, not receive federal funding.

        Regarding this orwellian paranoia, one has to wonder if those making these suggestions are privy to some sort of threat intel we’re all unaware of, or are purposely being fed false intel to make them believe there’s an existential threat that doesn’t actually exist (unless they consider consequences for breaking the law an existential threat), and that that false intel could be coming from a domestic OR foreign source.

        Do people really believe that half the country are violent white supremacist domestic terrorist that need to be rooted out ala former CIA head Brennen’s suggestions? Unfortunately, yes. The question is what got them to believe such an obvious fantasy?

        We could tomorrow find out all the evidence of election fraud and everyone admit they committed a crime and the DOJ actually prosecute the criminals and put them away, but then who do you replace them with?

        Even if Trump is put back in office, you still have half a country believing the other half are subhuman, irredeemable violent white supremacist domestic terrorists. You still have the schools and msm preaching divisive, contemptuous critical-theory.

        • draupnir February 5, 2021 at 2:16 pm #

          Each side has effectively dehumanized the other. That’s one of the prerequisites for mass murder. I’m not on the properly woke side of that equation and find wokesterism distinctly unappealing.

    Patrick Byrne, founder of Overstock who met with Trump during the Nov-Jan vote fraud debacle period, Byrne in particular at the very key meeting involving himself, Trump, General Flynn and Ms Sidney Powell, is giving a first-hand account of events, so far in four parts

    Key take-aways one can make, are Giuliani seeming to sabotage everything, and Trump appearing blackmailed – at points clearly knowing what is going on, at other times acting as if he doesn’t.

    Key quote from the most recent installment, Patrick Byrne writes as follows about Trump and also his family being under direct deadly threat of a repeat of 22 Nov 1963:

    “What I was told was this: Melania had been warned by a government official that if Trump served another term he would be JFK’ed. It may even have been someone in the Secret Service itself, in a “We will not be able to protect him” sense. The threat included another family member as well, per the telling. I find it hard to believe that anyone in the Secret Service itself would ever say that, but the source of the information to me had otherwise been blemishless, and the claim was that whoever (perhaps Secret Service, perhaps someone else) had said this to Melania, it was someone from whom such a claim would be taken seriously. Melania was begging Donald not to fight, and simply to concede and get out of Washington with his family.”

    • Night Owl February 5, 2021 at 10:28 am #

      I dunno. There are many ideas floating around. Over on Quod Verum some of the minds that helped unravel almost the entire Spygate shennanigans are convinced that Trump is making a return, and that the “impeachment trial” will serve as a theater to expose the electoral fraud that the criminal network blocked from being presented in court prior to Biden’s installment.

      Trump has been quiet, other than to set up his Office of the Former Pres., but it is difficult to say whether any of these rumors hold water.

      The only known is that he shuffled out of the WH quickly and with none of the usual send-offs given to a US President, and he has been very quiet down in Mar a Lago.

      We will see, I guess.

      • Redneck Liberal February 7, 2021 at 6:58 pm #

        ’ is difficult to say whether any of these rumors hold water.

        No, it’s really not. You are just distributing tinfoil under the flimsy guise of “…people are saying…”

        The imminent resurrection of DJT45 is just the next iteration of the crazy fever-dream you spent promoting with such utter certainty from Nov 3 2020 right up to Jan 7 2021.

    • Beryl of Oyl February 5, 2021 at 10:32 am #

      Nobody can really claim to know how much truth there is in Mr. Byrne’s claims.
      Not that I dismiss him as a liar, but honest people can still be passing only lies without knowing it.
      As far as his take on Rudy, Mr. Byrne is not a politician and would see behavior that is quite normal in such circles as appalling, so we have to factor that into his views of Rudy’s actions.

      What is clear though, is the campaign did not run as it should have.
      They were warned ahead of time about all the fraud. The people who should have been in place in key states weren’t there.

      There was a gigantic sum of money missing from the campaign coffers.

      One of the reasons for the impeachment would be to strip the president of his secret service protection. Donald Trump relied on his own security before and during his presidency, in addition to the Secret Service.

      As far as the threats that he would be JFK’d, that was true during his entire term.

      • awwww February 5, 2021 at 10:42 am #

        “As far as the threats that he would be JFK’d, that was true during his entire term.”

        Really? Please confirm with sources.

        Wow, so you know that “one of the reasons for the impeachment would be to strip dumpy of his SS protection”.

        First, you were there and know the motivations of the people who initiated he impeachment proceedings?

        Second.

        Cary Coglianese, a University of Pennsylvania professor of law and political science, said: “If President Trump were to be impeached and then convicted and removed from office before January 20, 2021, he would almost certainly not automatically lose the Secret Service protection which he would otherwise expect to receive after January 20, 2021.”

        Coglianese in an email to FactCheck.org said the Former Presidents Act authorizes funds “appropriated to the Administrator of General Services” — which is separate from the Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security. “The power of the Secret Service to protect former Presidents is authorized by separate statute (18 USC 3056),” he said.

        In short, he said that there was no reason to think the definition of a “former president” used in the Former Presidents Act would apply to the Secret Service protections provided to former presidents under 18 U.S. Code § 3056.

        • Beryl of Oyl February 5, 2021 at 10:54 am #

          What is your problem with what I stated?

          The reason for the SS is to prevent the CIC from being JFK’d.
          The number of times he and Melania bth appeared in public wearing bulletproof vests tends to support the idea that he was in danger.

          As far as the stripping of his SS protection, I did NOT say it would automatically happen, I said that was one of the actions they hoped to be able to accomplish by the impeachment.

          As far as what the law says, they aren’t dealing with any laws. A post-presidency impeachment of a private citizen is following what law?

            And then awww tries to qualify his source by listing his credentials and the fact that he sent an email to FactCheck as if any of that means anything anymore. Were they born yesterday?

            You’re correct, I believe, and also, they don’t want him to run again. That’s what the impeachment is about. THey don’t want to have to rig the election in 2024 – now there are too many eyes on Dominion, etc. and we know their methods. They’d have to figure out a whole new operation.

            Even though we know their methods, and many eyes have seen through last year’s stolen election, it worked. If there is an election in 2024 I expect it to be an even more transparent fraud than the last one. (“Hillary re-elected with 129% of the vote!”) And we will have no where to go to complain.

      Thanks. I was looking for something like this. Most of the others carrying the Torch of the Lost Cause are Evangelicals who are mixing religion into it. On one Zoom meet up, a woman in touch with General Flynn was criticized when she said General Flynn had said that President wouldn’t meet with him or with Sydney Powell towards the end. The moderator said she didn’t want any “negativity” or he said/she said – even though that’s why she was brought in. The moderator just didn’t like the news, a buzz kill to her positive thinking and God is in control belief.

      General Flynn said he was going home. Sydney Powell is left with a vicious law suit against her by Dominion.

      Soon it will not be just Trump who could not protect himself or his family. Take a look at the new anti-gun legislation now introduced into Congress.

      *H.R.127 – Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act* 117th Congress (2021-2022)
      Sponsor: Rep. Jackson Lee, Sheila [D-TX-18] (Introduced 01/04/2021)

      Committees: House – Judiciary
      Latest Action: House – 01/04/2021 Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. (All Actions)

      https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/127

      1. Requires all gun owners to pay $800 annual government insurance fee to the Attorney General EVERY YEAR.

      There is no grandfather clause, meaning this applies to anyone that owns a gun, not just those who purchase a new firearm after this passes.
      This fee will certainly go up each year.

      2. Mandatory Nationwide Firearms Registration & Database

      • ALL firearms owned shall be registered under penalty of up to $150,000 and 15 years in prison.

      • Serial, make, model, date, identity of owner, and the location of where the firearm will be stored to be collected and maintained in a database by the US Attorney General.

      • Names and information of all those who may have access to the firearms shall be collected as well.

      • This information to be accessible by state, local, and federal police, military, as well as state and local governments.

      3. Ammunition and Magazine Bans

      • Bans .50cal and larger ammunition outright.

      • Bans all mags that hold more than 10 rounds

      4. Firearms License required for any new gun purchases or ownership transfers.

      • Multi-tier license. Individual license for ownership and display of “antique” firearm, standard firearm license, and “military style” license.

        $800 a year government insurance fee? Good luck with that. In my neck of the woods, land of Bass Pro and a significant number of men and some women being hunters, this will not fly.
        This is undoubtedly a news flash to more urban Congress critters, but hunting is not just sport; it is a way to put meat in the freezer for quite a few people. The people who hunt to help feed their family probably won’t have an extra $800 to send the AG.

    I have wondered for a while when the national debt would cause the economy to implode. I used to think at 25T. We are way beyond that now.
    They are also talking about no more gasoline engines by 2035. I would love for JHK to comment on that. Maybe the PTB are hoping to restrict movement around the country

      My guess — they push a phase out of IC engines (picture a cash for clunkers “carrot” and a fuel tax increases “stick”). People thus forced into electrics (assuming they can afford them; if not you’re SOL and can wait for the bus). Then, since base-load power generation capacity has been crippled by “green” initiatives, the daily rolling blackouts make it impossible to keep the EV batteries fully charged. No one will get to see the USA in their Chevrolet…

      • hmuller February 5, 2021 at 10:54 am #

        Leaving aside the question of fuel source, the plan for the future is that ordinary people (let’s say the bottom 90%) don’t have privately owned cars. When you need transport you call for it on your smart phone. A driver-less, AI controlled cab then shows up to move you.

        It’s estimated that society could function with one seventh the current number of cars this way. Think how much time your car sits idle, waiting for you to use it.

        An additional benefit for TPTB would be denial of service to punish people with the wrong opinions or lacking in the latest recommended immunization.

            The plan is, to put as many of those “welfare tower” type high-rises as possible in suburban and even formerly rural areas, cram them full of Third World immigrants and “refugees”, and make them into population centers.

            This isn’t a fantasy, they were attempting it as far back as the Carter era, back then it was to get the right mix of people to please those who don’t like the idea of people choosing to live with people they consider to be like them.

            Now they claim it is more “efficient”.

            This is happening right now, but it hasn’t spread out of the suburbs too much yet.

            JAZ,

            I think the plan is:

            “So it’s 37 miles to the nearest Tractor Supply Co. (’cause you’re otherwise self-sufficient), gas is $26.959/gal. (when you can get it), and your CO2 tax is up there with your property tax (and that is 4x what it used to be). No problem! Give us what you have left (you’re gonna lose it soon anyway) and move into a Signature Pod in Sanctuary Acres, LLC.”

            That is if you’re still alive at that point.

            From what I can see of tomorrow, it don’t look much like yesterday.

            When I go to the garden center I do not intend to climb into some strangers Uber to do so. Certainly not mass transit.

            I drive my 2007 Subaru Outback to the garden center, load it up with big bags of Bumper Crop and lots of six packs of plants and pots and anything else I want.

            Then I am home in 20 minutes and I can back my car up in the driveway and unload it where I intend to garden and if dirt gets in my car there will be no one to bitch to me about it.

            And I am in control of my car and to a major extent with the germs that are in it.

            I have ZERO interest in getting into any strangers car and paying for it! Especially when I own my own car outright!

        • Chippenhook February 5, 2021 at 12:56 pm #

          Let me know when the driverless vehicles have been trained to operate on dirt roads like the one I live on for which the width varies from wide enough for two vehicles to someone needs to pull over as much as they can while the other car inches by.

          It’ll have to be pretty smart AI to understand mud season and recognize (before you get stuck) mud that can be driven through vs mud that that you can’t, and black ice from dry or wet pavement before you hit it, and glare ice vs pack ice etc.

          • Unperson37854 February 5, 2021 at 2:17 pm #

            Living independent of the government will be deemed a crime (if they can’t tax you into submission).

            They can’t have any examples out there of people being self-sufficient to give the slaves any ideas.

            Drones will get over that driveway no problem and first give you a warning to license and register your energy-harvesting device (that you invented) so that it can be taxed and perhaps some of your energy redistributed (which you won’t be able to afford).

            A follow up drone will raze you to the ground with fire if you don’t comply and deem the land blighted and recoverable by the gubment.

        Wonder how much it will cost to put a car charging station on every corner like gas stations now. What about all the owners and helpers at gas stations? What about all the auto mechanics?

        What about the scarcity of rare earths, how long are they going to last building millions of batteries, not just for cars, but for house solar, wind machines. Oh yeah, windmills and solar panels do not run all the time and need storage units.

        If Biden’s plan takes off, we are screwed. There is not enough battery making ability to do GND. Electric cars will never be affordable to Joe Average, And he will never be able to afford the heating electric bills. Look around your neighborhood. Even with tax incentives, how many solar panels do you see?

        The Democrats are going to destroy the USA with their anti fossil fuels programs alone.

        Biden is promoting Iran, snubbing SA, and ignoring Israel. Holy cow! He is creating an environment that is going to drive us into the next oil crisis.

          I often think about how folks will build, service and charge millions of electric vehicles. I have a 2011 Toyota which at some point needs to replaced. Teslas seem to catch on fire a lot, although someone on this very board wanted to argue that point with me. I think he and Elon had a thing going.
          I am going to keep my evil, 6 cylinder internal combustion engine until the wheels fall off. My last Toyota went north of 300,000 miles. It will either become to expensive to drive or I will become too old to drive it. My timing may work out.

            A few years ago I read that if they had kept building VW bugs forever (not the cute new ones) you could buy a brand spanking new automobile for a couple of hundred bucks. 36hp, air-cooled, interior as tight as a tank, idiotproof handling, cheap to fix.

            Why didn’t they do it? The stupidity of consumerism and planned obsolescence.

            I think the Mexican knock-down assembly plant was the last one to shut down. Or maybe the Brazilian plant.

      I wonder about that too. An electric vehicle can work for people who only do short hops around town, but the incredibly short ranges of only a couple hundred miles is useless for anyone who does a lot of driving. I have an 850 mile drive each way every time I visit my daughter. My truck has a 36 gallon tank meaning I only need to stop for gas once each way. It is about a 12 – 14 hour trip depending upon bathroom & food stops & construction or other backups. If I had to stop 4 times to recharge in order to do this trip, there is no way I could do it in one day. And how long will it take if I have to wait in line to get to a charging station after I manage to find one?

      Flying is not a viable option and there is no train service from here to there. It is a 2 hour drive to the airport and upon arrival an hour drive to my daughter’s, plus getting to the airport early for going through security etc., and there not being any direct flights from here to there (meaning it being two flights to get there) it is a full day’s trip even if I fly. I would also note that driving to and from the airport is beyond the range of EV batteries, so on my way back I’d need to stop to recharge in order to get back home.

      I’ll start to pay attention when EV’s have a 1,000 mile range between recharges.

That’s close to double the entire wealth of civilization from prehistory to now. And the Dems want to drop another $100T or so onto that total (while saying it’s “only” less than $30T). Yeah, this will end well.

      • RocketDoc February 5, 2021 at 9:07 pm #

        Do we have a source for this number?

        And one of the laws of the Beltway Universe seems to be that when Republicans are in power, debt and deficits are not an issue, but as soon as Democrats are in power, everyone on the Republican side suddenly re-discovers their fiscal responsibility gene. Interesting.

    “Maybe the PTB are hoping to restrict movement around the country”

    Already begun, under the covid umbrella. Can’t send your kid to some schools if you’ve traveled across state lines in the last 7 days, and covid test passed. Otherwise quarantine for 14 days.

    I’d call that the beginnings of restriction of movement. Good luck flying in a few months, or taking the family truckster across the country soon after that. Unless you want to pay the price and quarantine when you get home.

      It won’t be outright restrictions at first, but they will make it extremely difficult unless you comply.

      You got the pass? You get to participate in the already miserable and inefficient post-911 air travel process.

      Don’t have the pass? Well get in this long line manned by people who suck at their job and make getting on to the plane as slow and painful as possible.

      How are the enforcers identifying violators, and what happens when they do? Some of my contacts in the U.S. imply that there is no real contact tracing and people routinely violate the rules with no consequences. Are there military check-points at all state line crossings with 2-week quarantine camps at every crossing point? I don’t think so. The news about this 14-day quarantine every time you cross state lines doesn’t make sense. The news from the U.S. doesn’t make sense for most of the past few years.

      Over here the government has the ability to monitor you but I get the impression they don’t have the man power to monitor everyone in quarantine all the time. Contact tracing is precise here and that seems to be the point at which violators are caught and punished. Some people are monitored more closely, short term visitors for example. Our punishment for violating the rules is more severe than for normal Korean citizens so we try to stay in line.

    I see the faster the COVID narrative unravels, the more brazen the MSM becomes intrying to keep it going.

    Now a man called Shep, wearing too much makeup, is showing a video from Naples, Florida, where people are going about their lives in a normal fashion, and calling it alarming, because the people are not wearing diapers on their faces or worrying about how far apart they are standing.

    Yes, thousands upon thousands of people are actually going to Florida, seeing for themselves, and sending video back. So many that the “tech” censors cannot suppress it all, so they are now giving up and just showing us the reality, while telling us it isn’t what we think it is.

    Remember all the celebutards screaming because Florida opened the beaches? It was going to kill us all. Are we all dead?

    BTW, I have heard from one individual who lives down there.

    His gym has been open, with a ridiculous requirement that you must walk in wearing a mask, but after that you may choose not to wear one working out.

      I used to like your posts, but this is just ….ridiculous.

      I’m a Nurse in the ICU and the ER. I actually contracted COVID in 12/19. I watched then as I watch now—as entire units of patients die miserable deaths, drowning in their own fluid. There is no treatment, there is no magic pill, there is nothing we can do other than to support these people and hope that their own immune systems can fight along with our interventions to keep them alive.

      You are a very dangerous brand of unintelligent and uninformed.

      I will invite you personally to my ICU and bring you to the COVID wards….of which…there are now entire floors that used to be “elective surgery overnight obs” and “med surg”….but taken over to overflowing from these deathly ill patients.

      I will walk you around personally. WITH NO MASK. How about that? Please. Come to a Level 1 Trauma hospital in the mid atlantic, with 1200 beds and not even ONE bed that can be made available for my emergent stroke victim.

      Come on down, Beryl. Please. Any of you. Please. I will personally vouch for you at the door as a “shadower”, take you around….and of course, keep your “diaper” off of your face so you don’t suffocate.

          The mask idea doesn’t hold up as science. All the science prior to March 2020 says masks don’t work, and all the science since then does not show that they do.

          More important, the actual data from states like Florida (the real data, not the lies in the MSM) prove that masks not only don’t help, they appear to make things worse.

          That, along with seeing hw people like Governors Cuomo and Newsome actually behave themselves, should be enough to persuade anyone, but people like the comfort of that didey like Linus liked his blankie.

          Better check your statement out before making it.

          I am a retired nurse that worked through SARS 1. It was a nightmare for a while in the ICU. Awww is trying to give out information of how the crud has affected her units. Why do you have to call her a liar. How the hell do you know she is not relating exactly what is going on.

          Tertiary care centers, hospitals, are focus points for the areas they serve. The mortality of any epidemic will be focused into the hospitals. It is EASY to imagine that hospitals in the megapolis that is the East Coast might be overwhelmed.

          Why don’t you take her up on her offer and visit? I would imagine she would be glad to tour you, and make sure you are maskless as masks do not do anything anyway.

            Which hospital is overwhelmed?
            Albany Medical Center is not.

            As I’ve said, I know nurses myself.

            BTW, that part about “no magic pill” is misleading.

            There is treatment that appears to help people not going through the worst cases, but for some reason, hospitals are still sending sick people home to see if they get sicker.

            Once respected medical organizations have actually suppressed the studies, which are once again making their way back into the media.

            BTW, Facebook just canceled the doctors of the Great Barrington Declaration.

            Now why would they do that? Why do “tech giants” have an opinion on a pandemic and the treatment thereof?

            Sorry, I’ve heard the “I’m a nurse, patients drowning, wards overflowing” storyline too many times.

          • awwww February 5, 2021 at 11:11 am #

            Thanks JohnAZ….I’m fine with the skeptics….Nurses have broad shoulders.

            What I’d like them to know is that even though I feel inside that because of their statements and beliefs and actions…they should be required to have a “living will” of sorts with them at all times….that ABSOLVES ME and MY TEAM from caring for them if they prove to be “hoaxers” and behave irresponsibly…I will still care for them at my own risk, along with all of us RNs.

            That’s the thing. I’ve had these nutters come in and they’re positive and they are febrile and short of breath (ever almost drown? they describe it as the same feeling. ALL THE TIME)…and they say….”I thought it was like the seasonal flu. I really didn’t think I had to wear a mask, it was stupid.”

            They’re also the ones that lay on the call bell because they can’t take the pain and demand special food (Moose Man in the Capitol comes to mind) and make life generally miserable for the remainder of the hospital staff—-but whose fault is it that they’re there?

            Oh. Yeah. That nonsensical “personal responsibility and accountability” thing that dumpy dustbinned.

            SW and Hmuller

            I can and will take you around.

            I don’t live in Albany anymore, Beryl…and the whole “I know a nurse who knows a nurse who saw something once” is a story we all have heard and it’s nothing but utter bullshit…something that dumpy taught you. Say it long and loud, so it’s true.

            Yeah no.

            There are nurses in my own unit that won’t get the vaccine. Not because COVID is a hoax, but because it’s so new. One has a hearing deficit from an antibiotic she received as a child, another from birth—so she’s also very afraid of anything that may prove ototoxic after the studies come back in a few years.

            I have the antibodies from when I was sick. I still received the two dose vaccine. I also am in a clinical trial that my hospital is running for those who have antibodies to donate blood, so that antibody therapy can be offered to the sickest…but most likely to survive.

            You seem to believe that we suppress proven medical advances…..in order to achieve what? What would we GAIN by having overflowing ICUs and lack of PPE and healthcare workers walking away from this job en masse?

            Seriously. There is absolutely zero critical thinking going on here.

            My hospital is in the Triad. One of the Big Three. Mid atlantic. If you can do the actual research, kinda get off of Faux Noise and OAN for a bit…maybe put down the Qschtick….you might learn something.

            I had a girl shadow two weeks ago who is interested in being a nurse. It’s actually required in NC to have a shadowing experience as well as become a CNA first before being accepted into nursing school.

            Come on down and shadow for a day. I’ll lend you my N-95 if you’re skeeered.

            We don’t do anal swabbing.

            Again with the hyperbole so that it seems you know something, when in reality, you don’t.

            I’m inviting you to come down and visit.

            I mean…even your local hospitals would most likely jump at the chance to have such an informed skeptic like you come in and see for yourself, so that you can report “the truth”….

            since it’s just in the hospitals’ best interests to turn away business like elective outpatient procedures, eh?

            Again with the dearth of critical thinking skills.

          • hmuller February 5, 2021 at 12:12 pm #

            Awwww, do you stand by your claim that visitors may walk among the covid cases all day without a mask?

        • awwww February 5, 2021 at 10:52 am #

          Absolutely. Mr K actually has my personal email address. We corresponded during the beginning of the COVID pandemic.

          I make the offer genuinely.

          So here is how being admitted to a hospital goes. You come into the ER. That is not being “admitted”. You are there as an “outpatient”, technically. If you are seen by a hospitalist or an internist or a specialist—and it’s deemed that you need a higher level of care, that the hospital can provide, you are written “admit orders”.

          Your case then goes to PLC or “House Supervisor” or “Bed Control”.

          This is to determine the level of care needed. ICU level? Step down? Floor status? Obs? Maternity? Neuro?

          See, when you’re INFORMED, you understand that I cannot place a patient that is being administered lytics (tPa for a stroke) to a floor status.

          They need q15 NIHSS checks, which include comprehensive neuro/vascular checks and someone specialized (like me in ICU) to administer a dangerous drug like tPa (I can cause additional bleeding in your brain if I don’t know what I’m doing or I have 5 other patients to care for who divide my time)

          Sound fraudulent to you?

          We have 1200 beds, all divided into units. Each patient has a an ESI level attached to them. A level 1 will be assigned to an ICU—they are critical and need 1:1 care. Like what I do.

          In my MICU, I have 30 beds. All right now are OCCUPIED. The average length of stay is 3 weeks right now. THREE WEEKS.

          That means that the guy that I’ve been caring for….the one with the collapsed right lung, a line, triple lumen right neck, trialysis catheter for dialysis in his right groin, rectal tube, foley catheter, INTUBATED—-on fentanyl/precedex/vasopressin/insulin/heparin drip….

          can’t be moved from my ICU until he’s off of all drips and extubated.

          Now multiply that by 30. He’s post COVID. So are most of the patients on my unit.

          Where would you like to have the bed control place your mother who just had an ischemic stroke…and is on tPa…who needs ICU level care?

          Hmmm?

          C’mon down, sweetheart. Anytime. All of our units are like this—overrun with deathly ill COVID patients—so that YOU and YOUR family don’t get ANY care as admissions….because we have no room.

          Yeah. It’s a real hoax.

          • Beryl of Oyl February 5, 2021 at 11:13 am #

            I know two women who got very sick with the COVID.
            My neighbor is an ICU nurse, who volunteered to go down to NYC during the original flush of cases.

            I know how it works.
            I have maintained from the beginning that the virus is real, of course it is.

            There is a major hoax, a crime against humanity, taking place under cover of the “response” to that virus.

          • MiddlePeninsula February 5, 2021 at 11:21 am #

            My better half spent 22 days between the cardiac unit and cardiac unit ICU in December. The cardiac unit seemed full but he always got a bed. I am sure COVID folks were there, but I didn’t see any. This seems to depend on your geographic area. Perhaps folks can’t get care there, but I am happy to report my husband got prompt and excellent care. He is doing much better!

          • SW February 5, 2021 at 11:23 am #

            I’m a retired nurse also and have experience in cardiac care ICU and trauma/surgical ICU and psych/substance abuse. The patient you describe sounds like he is in kidney failure — is this correct? Is he elderly? Chronically ill before he contracted covid?

            When I was working in ICU units we were usually at capacity with critical patients and triaged as best as we could. I believe you when you say your hospital is overwhelmed and the patients who usually fill ICUs are not able to receive the care they need.

            There’s no doubt some are hit very hard by this virus but the point is, the majority are not and draconian measures have been taken that could cause far worse problems. Last month I read an article that overdose deaths surpassed covid in San Francisco.

            38yo male had no real underlying issues. He drank a little too much on the weekends and has a bit of centripidal obesity going on…maybe BMI 31….but nothing spectacular. Non smoker. caucasian.

            He just spiraled fast. PEEP on the vent….5…..8….10…..I maxed out on his precidex to keep him asleep…he was chewing the tube.

            The big thing with these weekers is ICU psychosis. We can’t keep them intubated without keeping them sedated, as they chew and fight. Propofol is the least attractive now, so precedex and fentanyl.

            YES. He threw clots to his renals…and has now very little output. His right lung collapsed bc he thrashed on another shift and pulled his triple lumen….puncturing his lung.

            Can’t put him on anything but heparin for the clots…he’s too unstable for an IVC filter…but these COVID patients form clots EVERYWHERE…we can’t keep up.

            Everybody comes to the Level 1 hospitals because they think since we’re teaching hospitals, and have all the biggest and best….they will get better or faster care.

            That’s simply not true in this pandemic. We have no room. Our ER is on divert 3 of 7 days a week. That means your mom who is acting funny this morning, slurring her words, might get diverted by ambi to a small community hospital in rural nowhereville, because we cannot take her.

            People just don’t get it. They’re safe and sound in their little enclaves and read the interwebs….and trust some schmuck who is trying to get them to donate via PATREON so that they don’t have to go get a real job of their own….and you get this ridiculous feeding of whatever seems to make people angriest (because that’s what makes them donate)

          • SW February 5, 2021 at 12:11 pm #

            @awwww – Thank you for your response and the details. Patients on respirators are very difficult for all the reasons you noted. ICU psychosis is terrible for the patients and greatly complicates their recovery b/c they cause damage that has to be corrected and prolongs their recovery. It may take years before we really know why some people die (or come close to it) while others shake it off. My daughter’s 95 yr old great-grandmother-in-law only had a mild case of diarrhea. Go figure.

          • Not_GeorgeT February 5, 2021 at 2:20 pm #

            The hospital is the last ditch effort, and a lot of it was handled poorly by using protocols which exacerbated the underling problem.

            The better approach, always the better approach, is to do everything possible to keep people from ever having to go to the hospital let alone be admitted, in the first place.

            There are treatment protocols which work very well, with excellent documentation, available from providers such as the PCP. When “the government” and “the media” along with supposedly respectable medical journals (think Lancet) provide the wrong information, appearing to meddle on purpose to meet an agenda, it’s a problem.

            When supposed “authorities” tell people to stay home if they fell sick, rather than call their physician, it’s a problem.

            The problem is then allowed to fester and enlarge to the point where in-hospital treatment might not work and in fact make the condition worse (think dismal outcomes).

            The physician who might want to treat by using available medications off-label is threatened to the point of loss of license. The major medical lobby (think AMA, representing a whopping 12% of physicians) blacklists the off-label use of established anti-malarial and anti-parasitic drugs which, amazingly, were documented in other countries to be effective.

            This is why it is possible some hospitals perceive a crisis. The patients should have been identified very early, given prophylactic treatment and early intervention treatment as needed, as office visits and out-patients. They never would have seen the inside of a hospital.

            I’m not going to the nursing home issue, a few others have touched on it already.

        • JohnAZ February 5, 2021 at 11:00 am #

          The answer to your question is obvious.

          Yes, old, obese, heart disease, kidney disease, diabetic. In case you haven’t noticed, there are millions of people filling these descriptions.

          Have you no empathy, do you think that you are better than these folks and the political attention they have received is not warranted?

          Yes, young people get the crud too, and a few die, without having any of the health conditions. I read an article yesterday from the CDC that the number one age group for spreading the crud is

          20 to 49.

          Believe what you will, if this virus was allowed to run open loop, it would destroy the health care system and the economy along with it.

          Are you going to do your part and get vaccinated?

          • awwww February 5, 2021 at 11:03 am #

            I have been vaccinated, and I volunteer at the hospital’s clinic to administer vaccine to others.

            I strongly advise anyone to receive it.

            Doesn’t it occur to you guys that billionaires are literally flying to remote islands, pretending to be local workers in order to get the vaccine?

As for empathy, I have my fair share. However, I am a believer in personal responsibility as pertaining to my health, unlike a lot of people I know.

If I am still around in 2025, I may get the vaccine. My doctor had me get the Shingles vaccine. That about took my shoulder off. What’s in those vaccines, battery acid?

          • awwww February 5, 2021 at 11:42 am #

            MiddlePeninsula

            LOL. I got the shingles vaccine last year. Yep….I felt like crap after that.

            The second Pfizer shot gave me similar symptoms as when I first contracted COViD. Joints on fire, low back pain, low grade fever, headache. Then it resolved in an afternoon. Like I was told it would.

            I have asthma, am an ICU/ER nurse and over 55. Health weight, caucasian, get all my shots and haven’t had a major health issue….ever, really.

            I read the disclaimer that absolves pfizer of me suing them if I develop some rare brain cancer down the line…and i almost didn’t get it.

            However. I SEE every day what this virus can do. I know how it can and will mutate (as all viruses do). I want all of the protection I can get.

            It’s not for everyone. I simply want a coherent, intelligent and informed conversation about it….not some Qanon bullshit or thoroughly debunked “vaccines cause autism” argument to break out.

            If you don’t want it, don’t get it. You don’t have to announce it, because actually? Nobody cares what you do or do not do with your own healthcare.

            Believe me. We don’t care what you do. We care about why you’re in front of us right now, sick and dying. If you do it to yourself, when there is a very easy way to prevent or mitigate it? Yeah…I think we should be able to punt you to the parking lot.

            I feel the same way about excessive drinkers, illicit drug users and diabetics who eat ding dongs for 3 meals. You get to do what you want….freedom and all that libertarian horseshit….

          No….so guy that I am taking care of now is 38.

          He has a history of drinking a little too much, but nothing that was even making him a candidate to be seen as a regular hepatology patient, as in…cirrhosis or liver failure. Otherwise healthy.

          I am seeing very young….mid 20s to mid 40s…had a “mild case last summer”—who are now coming into the ER where I do PRN work…with vague “chest pain” or “shoulder pain” or a bit of SOB….we do a chest CTA….and their lungs are filled with clots.

          It’s what I personally fear myself…since I had COVID before we had a test for it. Every time I feel short of breath or a twinge in my chest…I get nervous.

          I am vaccinated now, but I already had the disease and kicked it. Felt like I was going to die for 4 days, but my symptoms were not respiratory….

          THAT is the myth that you are buying into…that it’s strictly respiratory. It’s not. It’s causing clotting issues….STROKES, PE, heart attacks, renal clots. The virus does something to the clotting factors in the liver and spleen.

          Very young. Not infants…and I’m not sure why you might conflate “young” with “infant”.

          Diabetes and obesity complicate COVID, they do not cause the person to contract it.

          You’re confusing the two. Just because you’re fat and old, does not mean you’ll get COVID, nor does it mean you’ll die of it. The opposite is true as well.

          In other words…just like the seasonal flu….the virus is RANDOM, anybody can contract it, whether it’s severe or mild….we are seeing that severe cases do not recover or recover well….and mild cases are being brought in weeks to months later with clotting issues that correspond to stroke, MI, renal failure and PE.

          Does this clarify?

          • Tate February 5, 2021 at 11:55 am #

            All the blacks can go ahead of me as well. I’ve been telling people for years that large daily doses of Vit D3 work to keep you blood serum levels up within a healthy range. I take 8,000 iu per day. My yearly blood work always shows it within the optimum range. I’ve also started taking vit C as well as other supplements recommended by Chris Martensen. I’m older so have some concern about covid but not enough to go around outdoors wearing a mask which is absurd.

            1. unknown long time reader comes in. mentions how the blog host used to be a hero. lists all his books she has bought. now she is so ashamed and hopes the host changes his ways.

            2. anecdote about the covid19-25. Great unmentionable horror both for the infected and the poor “health” workers.

            (for your info you jokers, my in-law has a clinic accredited with the govt for covid checking. Frack you)

          I have also seen the statistics on this, that AAs are dying in greater numbers.

          I have my own theories based on experiential evidence, and it’s localized, as some have pointed out.

          Some of the factors are cultural, and some are physiological. Culturally, from what I have seen in the South…SOME blacks tend to be very leery of seeking medical attention and when they do, tend to discard the advice. By the same token, SO DO SOME WHITES.

          However, it’s well documented that black and indigenous populations have a real reason to fear governmental fixes. This vaccine is one of them. Mistrust/distrust for the medical establishment in these populations is well founded, historically. Eugenics comes to mind.

          My thought is a lottery. It’s fair and unbiased. I hated the movie “Contagion”, but this is precisely how the vaccine was distributed in the conclusion of it.

          I am angry that people are coming to the hospital seeking employment so that they can be considered “essential frontline workers” just to get the vaccine, and then they quit.

          This is real and is happening.

          If you truly believe, for your own health and well being, that you do no wish to get a vaccine and you do not wish to wear a mask when around public spaces….please……write out a declaration that you will NOT receive any type of medical help if your illness is related to COVID.

          Please. Spare us all the breast beating about “government oppression” and “medical suppression”….and go do your thing. Don’t come to us for the vaccine and don’t come to us if you’re sick with COVID.

          • rainmaker February 5, 2021 at 12:07 pm #

            Aww – I do care about the dumb things that people do to ruin their health, smoking, drinking excessively, eating ding dongs til they are 150 lbs overweight and have diabetes. Do you want to know why? I have a huge interest in caring for my health because even though I work a full time job, I can’t afford health insurance. The kicker is, I get to pay for the welfare system that pays for other people’s health care. Is that unfair? You bet it is. So don’t be telling me that I don’t deserve any care because I’m leery of a brand new mostly untested vaccine, because if the vaccine makes me sick or impaired I will be truly screwed, with no recourse. You are part of a medical system that is unfair to lower class working people – we can’t afford health care, nor can we afford health insurance, so thanks for nothing.

          • Yohannon February 5, 2021 at 12:48 pm #

            No animal testing. No long term human testing. What little testing there was, is “ongoing”. In other words, not testing since testing by definition goes before mass distribution.

            Ditto the mutation boosters. Fast tracked. No testing. You are the test.

            Can you sue for a ruined immune system. No. They cannot be sued. Interesting. What are they afraid of?

        “There is no treatment, there is no magic pill, there is nothing we can do other than to support these people and hope that their own immune systems can fight along with our interventions to keep them alive.”

        I’m not going to argue with your reality about the over-crowding, the deadliness, the poor prospects of recovery in those you serve, or much of back and forth in this thread, but I am going to vehemently disagree with the statement quoted above. There ARE treatments that have been shown in study after study to have been effective, especially in the early outpatient phase of the disease. Yes, I’m talking about ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

        There is strong evidence that ivermectin is effective in prophylaxis, in early stage treatment, and in the hospital setting. Here is a link to a web page that collects study data on ivermectin:

        https://ivmmeta.com

        There are 35 studies there, 17 of them random control trials, and they all show varying degrees of positive benefit. They’re not the kind of blockbuster, multi-thousand person studies that should be done on a drug to be rolled out as treatment for a major pandemic, but they’re not all simply anecdotal / observational evidence, either.

        I would suggest that you, and other health care professionals, start following the work being done at Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, on the web at

        https://covid19criticalcare.com

        You’ll find recommended prophylaxis and early treatment outpatient protocols (I-MASK+) and hospital treatment protocol (MATH+). You don’t have to be a doctor or nurse to benefit from that site; read the I-MASK+ protocol (it’s simple), and start taking simple, cheap supplements to bolster your resistance to the virus: vitamin D, vitamin C, Zinc, quercetin, melatonin.

        Later in the thread you write:

        “You seem to believe that we suppress proven medical advances…..in order to achieve what? What would we GAIN by having overflowing ICUs and lack of PPE and healthcare workers walking away from this job en masse?

        Seriously. There is absolutely zero critical thinking going on here.”

        I’m sure that in your career your lived experience has been one where medical advances are proposed in labs, tested thoroughly in big trials, documented, rolled out through the hierarchy from the top down, and successfully applied at the ward level of hospitals. However, we’re not in Kansas anymore. WE don’t gain anything from suppressing medical advances like ivermectin. YOU don’t gain from suppressing medical advances on the ICU, and the PATIENTS don’t gain from suppressing good treatment. But SOMEBODY is gaining from it, or it wouldn’t be happening – that is the critical thinking that needs to happen here. Who is gaining, and why. It could be as simple as the corrupting influence of hundreds of billions of dollars to be made on a yearly basis for vaccines, or it could be more nefarious (the Great Financial Reset, the less painful adjustment for the end of the oil age / end of growth, the villainous consolidation of political power through medical tyranny, there are many possibilities).

          It was Aug 27 when the CDC officially forbade the use of ivermectin as an early stage treatment for covid, along with zinc and an antibiotic.
          Last month, believe it was Jan 15th, they changed their stance to neither disallowed nor recommended, thereby allowing doctors to prescribe ivermectin.
          During the fall as local case totals and deaths continued to rise locally, I wondered how many might have been saved with the early IVM treatment.
          I still do. Reading awww’s account of what is happening at his/her hospital, wonder how much lighter the case load might have been with early treatment of symptomatic covid infections.
          We’ll never know. But it is damn depressing to have the realization the government via the CDC may have killed people by withholding early treatment.
          But big pharma can’t get contracts worth billions supplying ivermectin and generic antibiotics now, can they?

        Your post sends up red flags. No hospital is going to allow anyone to walk around maskless, in fact, I doubt they would be allowing visitors at all if the rate is as high as you say it is. In PA visitors are still not allowed in nursing homes. Plus, CDC’s own statistitcs reveal the death rate was no higher in 2020 than 2019, pandemic?? They no longer keep statistics on seasonal flu as it’s “all Covid, all the time” to frighten people, as well as conflating positive PCR “tests” with actual sick people, calling them all “cases” in the media. The Covid-19 flu apparently was a created bug that targeted the lungs of old folks. Masks do very little to stop viruses, you need a full hazmat suit for that. You were foolish to submit to an untrialled mRNA genetic experiment that alters your DNA for a “flu” with a 99.7% survival rate, however there are millions of you who have eagerly lined up to be guinea pigs due to an appalling lack of common sense. Hospitals, nursing homes, and businesses have been monetarily incentivized to “find “Covid”, and to enforce masking, “social distancing”, and harangue people with “health advice” and to “stay safe” (like they care) endlessly over speakers. Medical providers have been given “Covid” liability immunities that have enabled crats to practice medicine. If your beds are as full as you say they are, I would need to know the age and co-morbidities of these patients overflowing your units, and how they are being treated. Vitamin D supplementation in northern latitudes is essential ESP. for blacks..probably the reason for increased Covid rates in blacks as well as heart disease…., Vitamin C, zinc is antiviral. God grief, so tired of alarmist, and ignorant Big Pharma stooges.

    Taking on debt equates to selling one’s future labor. When this reaches a certain level, the country, its inhabitants and their descendants have sold themselves into perpetual slavery. To whom one may ask? To those with a license to print money ad infinitum.

    Most people think world events just happen by accident. They don’t. The Powers That Be have crafted an elaborate agenda for the road to our future slave society.

    Sorry James, the limbic threshold (the innate herd reflex to turn to where power appears to be aggregating) has been crossed for too many. As understood it’s the phenomenon of employing one’s intellectual faculties away from objective analysis to instead pluck rationalizations for one’s purely emotion turn. The 1981 German movie Mephisto illustrates this perfectly. Welcome to the deprogramming/re-education camps.

        Before this pandemic I was a supporter of teacher’s unions and I’m sure there are still many who would rather be in the classroom than zoom. But the fact that the unions in Chicago, San Francisco, and other cities refuse to go back to the classroom, I have to ask myself — do they really care about educating these kids? All will suffer consequences from a lost year but the ones home alone with little supervision or direction will be hurt the worst. At the very least, their salaries need to be cut in half until they return full time to school.

        • JohnAZ February 5, 2021 at 11:51 am #

          Perhaps this has nothing to do with the Covid, and more to do with the federal manipulation of what is being presented in the classroom. Maybe these unions have had it with wokesterism.

          Maybe the teachers are sick of uneducated people being produced by our very crappy education system. Maybe they are sick of educational administrations that play politics and do not give a damn about the kids or the teachers who are trying to teach them

How can you not see this? The other groups belong in other nations. This is by definition. Google the etymology of the word, “nation”.

            How about Africa and the torment of tribal enemies who ended up in the same “nations”? We’re no different now. If we had learned anything from Black slavery, we would have never invited another hostile nation (the Mexicans) into America – all to undercut our own workers.

    Consider Thorsten Veblen’s The Theory of the Leisure Class, or what Upton Sinclair novelized in his The Jungle. Those books were written at the turn of the 19th – 20th Century, contributing to Teddy Roosevelt’s breaking up of the monopolistic practices of the barons of the Gilded Age.

    Jack London, friend and admirer of Sinclair, came to be known as having coined the term wage slave, yet the term had circulated since before Harriot Beecher Stowe published her damming Uncle Tom’s Cabin in 1852. Stowe, like most abolitionists of the time, was well aware that the masses of European immigrant workers in the rapidly industrializing North were as often worse off than the chattel workforce in the south (which very often comprised a bourgeois class that was clothed, house and fed better than poor whites off the plantation).

    Funny huh, how long this theater has been going on.

      And, to surprise of many, In my college days back in the 1950s these readings were required across a range of scholarly specialties, from sociology, psychology, economics, political science and – believe it or not – art history.

        That’s when an education was actually to educate. No grade inflation, “satisfaction surveys” on the professors, English was used as a wash-out course (you had to prove you could actually write a research paper, read and comprehend, and participate in a class discussion) and it would not have occurred to anyone they had the “right” to get a professor fired b/c he read a passage from MLK’s letters that used the n-word.

    Its interesting to note that China and Russia blocked the UN Security Council’s condemnation of the military coup in Burma. Burma itself plays a big part in Beijing’s One Road Silk Road initiative, and shares a 1300 mile border with China. What’s more, amongst the construction projects the Chinese are backing inside Burma are several massive coal fired power plants. Coming after just one week after Trump leaves office, it could be China engineered the coup in Burma to measure the Biden administration’s reaction to it, and test American resolve, with an eye to further operations in Taiwan.

    When PLA brass looks across the Pacific at the USA, one wonders what they make of the sudden DOD ‘Standdown’ to root out ‘White Nationalists’ from the ranks, and the insistence on enlisting transvestites into the Army and the Marine Corps? And that much of the top leadership is now ‘women and minorities?’ Perhaps that fighting wars is not a high on the agenda of the US Military, which has become a sort of social justice organization? Maybe that this isn’t the same powerful fighting force that engaged the Japanese at Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and fought the PLA and NKorean Peoples Army to a standstill in 1951?

    Or it could be that Biden and his global elitists allies are already bought and paid for, and there is no longer any need for Xi Jingping to hide it.

Auto repair shops a specialty, handy for reselling stolen vehicles, moving contraband, etc. Then, in more recent decades we have observed Chinese buy-up of rust belt port front properties along the Great Lakes, and enclaves in the otherwise red neck California forest counties. A new generation of slumlords, but notably taking care to keep the rentals in good condition mindful of quick eviction of tenants, allowing key personnel occupancy in line with strategic needs….

      Hovering over the earth like birds of prey, a very large and coordinated dispersion of particular Middle East populations, which we hesitate to identify, fearing the “Phobe” label and subsequent cancelling procedure! As warned in The Valley Forge Vision, America’s 3rd existential trial is upon us. Deuteronomy 28 v-15 is the cue. Lincoln knew he was in the 2nd trial, and guided by Daniel Chapter 4 verses on “Bands Of Iron”, promulgated railways with certainty the Union of States would one day pass thru the 3rd trial, bound against destruction by railway links.- “Famine Hedge”

      For years In Burma, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, the Chinese are kidnapping and selling young women to Chinese farmers who can’t find wives. The borders of those countries are rather porous, and they cross over in trucks, load up all the girls they can catch by force and ship them to the interior. They’re like a bunch of Bronze Age raiders. Civilized people do not steal young women and carry them off into captivity. China is not a country, it is an international criminal.

      That last sentence.

    • Sean Coleman February 7, 2021 at 5:14 pm #

      In his latest podcast Matthew R. Johnson gives a quite different explanation for Burma. Aung is from an extremely rich family, was educated abroad (like the other leaders installed through “colour revolution”) and he says he has a copy of her UN security pass from when she worked there. She won the Nobel prize a decade ago for something or other. In a country of 80m (this is all from memory and I was not listening closely) there were 10.5m complaints about the recent (last Nov?) election. In one city 40% of the votes bore the exact same name. The electoral commission (I do not know if this is Burmese or UN) will not release any information. Aung’s imprisonment is in very comfortable conditions. The ‘democracy movement’ was supported by Soros and the usual suspects and the aims are the same everywhere (eg, again from memory, the Ukraine, white Russia, Georgia and Armenia): LGBT, opening up the economy to US business and banking and I suppose immigtation and all the rest.

      Aung was unusual among “colour puppets” in standing up for national interests against the engineered “Rohinga” crisis (a made-up ethnic identity). (From memory, Bob Geldof of othe Bommtown Rats demanded that she be stripped of the Freedom of Dublin.) This was part of the geopolitical struggel between US and China in this part of the world. Her backers (see above) almost pulled out.

      I remember she was treated like Mandela a few years ago, bravely facing down a military regime and “opening up Burna to the world”. We all should know what that means by now.

      Johnson has been unable to find out whether the election used Dominioin.

      The above is my summary of Johnson’s argument, a pretty poor summary at that.

      He does not accept the story of Chinese interference in the American election or the claim that its govt is communist. I agree with him.

      Surely we know who is causing all the trouble both in America and around the world by now, don’t we?

    157,000,000 Americans in workforce

    That’s $12,101 per worker

        What will finish the US is the continued existence of the Vatican/CIA mafia. That should be the focus of everyone that cares about the US. This mafia has successfully overturned everything that was good in the US, including the Constitution, because they hold the keys to successfully bribe or extort or disable or murder everyone that stands in their way. They have long term plans in place and multiple institutional capabilities to incrementally carry them out over multiple years decades and centuries, while their machinations are almost completely invisible and unknown to the population at large.

        If you don’t know and don’t understand and don’t see and don’t acknowledge your enemy, what chance do you have? Communist China is just the latest tool in their tool box. The picture is much bigger than the CCP/DNC nexus.

    Just finished watching Rep. Greene’s presser.

    Bravo! I wish the GOP has the guts that this lady has. She ripped the hell out of all the bums in DC and supported the values of conservative Americans. She supported Trump. Her best line was that it is the media that promotes hatred in this country, in both directions.

    If a third party arises, I hope she is at the core of it.

    Yea Party= Patriot Party!

    BTW, the infamous 11 GOPers voted against Greene in her losing her committee positions. The difference that has turned this country into the shell of a republic it is today is the rise of the RINO in the Deep State.

    If it was 1776 – 1779, these Torys would be hanged.

      Why is our “truth” then acted upon and seemingly accepted by most nations on earth?

      Even in the late ’40’s, when we were alone with the atomic bomb, we could not gain an absolute accord.

      The majority of nations on Earth have, against their own best interests, bought in to an alternative “truth”.

    • Mike Roberts February 5, 2021 at 8:10 pm #

      Not sure what you mean by “doing better”. It’s doing better than California in terms of total cases per capita (though not much in it) but worse in terms of deaths per capita. This year, daily case numbers have been dropping much more quickly in California than in Florida.

            You have evidence that states are putting any death they can into the Covid category, that hospitals are getting dough for Covid cases, and that the PCR test is producing false positives left and right.

            As the final insult, the establishment wants you to wear a piece of cloth on your face to stop a microscopic virus, and it has told you in plain language that a rag does not stop a microscopic virus.

    • JohnAZ February 5, 2021 at 2:44 pm #

      What I have read really ticks me off.

      The vaccines may or may not cover the variants IDed so far. The South African variant already shows resistance to the vaccines. The variants are projected to be more prevalent than the original.

      These vaccines are like the flu shot. Some people are immune, the crud cannot touch them. Others however have a small reaction and it only lasts for a while. Then you get another booster. No one knows how often yet.

      The shots are only effective to stop the serious progression of the crud. Probably a moderate reaction with enough memory cells to eventually kill the crud but it takes awhile. Like the flu shot, if you get a mild case down the road, you can spread it.

      I read a CDC statement of what will be different after the vaccine. Not much! Basically it said that you can hang out with folks who have gotten the shot to minimize risk. All the other rules stay in place. It is because even vaccinated, you can catch mild cases of the crud and spread it.

      The flu shot is reflective of the influenza variants every year. It probably means that as each new virus shows up, it means an additional shot. Wow, sounds like fun.

      We need to kill these suckers, not vaccinate.

        It is the same coronavirus and flu we get every year. The entire COVID19 thing is a marketing campaign and social engineering and a live exercise.

        And most fell for it and continue to fall for it.

        The vaccine is an RNA altering device, not actually a vaccine. And as Beryl says, it’s experimental, and we have other remedies for flu and colds. So it’s unneeded. IT’s already killing people. Wait ’til after the second jab!

        Dr. Delores Cahill in Ireland has explained that after 2 jabs, the slightest virus can kill you. So it’s working out the opposite of what they said. But who cares, they will call it COVID21 and keep going…

          Exactly.

          TPTB must be delighted how little pushback there’s been to the incrementally ramped up Covid hysteria, resulting in an easy implementation of local and national regulations and protocols.

          But then, the same reason most people end up with Covid — fear (autonomic nervous system dysfunction) — is what sends them scrambling for their face rags before someone passes them on the street, or who agree to Zoom supper “parties” rather than seeing their friends. Ironic, that.

            Yes the scrambling for the face diapers is just outright laughable at this point. They don’t even know how a mask is supposed to work, 10 months later. I think the self-muzzling has seriously given them brain damage.

            Other people with actually psychological schooling say, they have been driven insane, and are actually now deranged. I can’t disagree.

            It is mass hysteria and social engineering – and that’s only part of it.

    Bill Gates, George Soros, and several members of the Rockefeller family were deemed responsible for the advent and spread of the Chinese virus, which has killed tens of thousands of small businesses and forever changed the world for the worst.
    A Peruvian court charged the group with responsibility for creating the coronavirus pandemic.
    In its decision, the Chicha and Pisco Criminal Appeals Chamber said the pandemic was the invention of a ”criminal elite around the world” made up of billionaires such as Soros, Gates and Rockefeller, among others.
    Thus, the court justified the delay by issuing a ruling on the appeal of the accused, who sought the abolition of preventive detention and whose permission was postponed due to the pandemic.
    For Judges Tito Gallegos, Luis Legia and Tony Changarei, the pandemic was ”unpredictable”; for all but the alleged creators, ”who have been involved in it and continue to manage it with particular secrecy in their environment.
    ”No world government, individuals or legal entities, nor the defense of the accused can claim that this pandemic has the quality of ‘foresight’, except for the creators of the new world order, such as Bill Gates, Soros, Rockefeller, etc.” write the magistrates in a resolution posted on the portal LP Law.
    Judges without a shadow of a doubt declared that the coronavirus was ”created by a criminal elite that rules the world.”
    In particular, the document cites financial investor George Soros, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and the Rockefeller family of billionaires, whom he accuses of ”managing” and ”continuing to direct” the virus into the ”new world order.”

    You have to take the larger perspective, the long view. It’s true that some people come down with this nasty bug & it kills them. From the perspective of an ICU nurse, that’s the whole world. Except it isn’t.

    Most of the relatively healthy people in the world, the >99% do just fine. Life goes on. Except the inmates have taken over the asylum so life limps along. The long term effects on the economy will be felt, make no mistake. There are going to be some pissed off people added to the pissed off people already well & truly pissed off.

    In echoes of Aristophanes, in Burma all the women are resisting the coup, except it’s no joke. In ages past, hysterical forces could never mobilize effectively. As Anglin commented, if the military leaders want to regain control, they will have to shut down the internet.

I’m sure he would have split if I did not confront him. Not much damage to his car but a nice dent in my fender. I didn;t want to bother the cops so we just exchanged some info. Well he had no license or insurance. I still have the dent. I got the last laugh however. I had a cop run the plate and they sat by his house a bit and grabbed him and impounded his car and he ended up in court. Defund the police? yea right.

          The Founders hated Democracy. You still don’t understand America, but don’t feel bad, almost no one does. Nor are they interested in doing so, anymore than you are.

          Here’s your clues: A Republic. A Government of Laws not Men – for White Men. All White Men? No, Christian White Men.

          • Yohannon February 5, 2021 at 6:42 pm #

            Perhaps Christian could also be used synonymously as standing for men from the Christian countries of Northwestern Europe since many of the Founders were only nominal Christians or overt sceptics like Franklin and Jefferson. Or Deists or Masons.

          • akmofo February 5, 2021 at 10:31 pm #

            A Republic always devolves to Fascism and Imperialism. I criticized this very issue multiple times here, and made it plain that this is where the Founding Fathers severely erred.

            They copied Rome and tried to add as many safeguards as they could to not end up as Rome, but in the end Rome is what we have.

            Parliamentary Democracy is more fluid and therefore more difficult to subvert. In the end, Parliamentary Democracy is more accountable and therefore more legitimate.

            That said, the Bill of Rights and US Constitution are supreme examples of The Enlightenment and of enlightened thinking and principles.

          • Yohannon February 5, 2021 at 11:05 pm #

            Well they’ve certainly subverted Western Europe whose nations have this system I believe. Was it Kim who said thank God for the Bill of Rights. None of the Commonwealth nations people have any right at all.

            Could the two systems be merged to form a perfect union of the best qualities of both?

          • akmofo February 6, 2021 at 5:54 pm #

            It wouldn’t work. We’ve already know that laws on paper mean nothing. The US Constitution is completely hacked open today. Judges and politicians can interpret it and do whatever they want, including completely ignore it. What really matters and what really lasts is the right culture. And for that you need the Hebrew God the Hebrew bible the Hebrew language history, with the resultant people and culture forged by the Hebrew God Bible Language and History.

          • sevensec February 7, 2021 at 12:41 am #

            “What is most essential, most inherently constitutional and truly fundamental law is never written, and could not be, without endangering the State. (…) he who believes himself able by writing alone to establish a clear and lasting doctrine IS A GREAT FOOL”
            –de Maistre

            The sort of cult that surrounded the US Constitution–it functioned for many years a kind of artificial God, a Christian or Classical morality-emulator–has mostly collapsed now. Wokesterdom simply has far more vitality at present; you can definitely get laid by out-Wokeing the other guy, while Constitutional originalism, not so much.

            So, as you say, we see the ugly truth exposed: “laws on paper mean nothing”.

            I don’t agree we’re like Rome though. We’re now an oligarchy–a many-headed hydra, something very far from having a single clear Emperor. And while de Maistre argued that true laws are mostly *unwritten*, I would venture that where we are heading there will be *no laws* as such at all (I think of Wokeness as basically chaos, lacking even unwritten law).

          • akmofo February 7, 2021 at 7:22 am #

            Wokesterdom is a false illusion of the Vatican/CIA mafia with its propaganda surrogates. A complete fugazy.

            The reality that needs to be understood is that we are deliberately being coordinated back to the medieval feudal Dark Ages/Vatican Romanism/Satanism.

            You’re almost there, Vlad. Really what you want to say is that, it was a time where certain European peoples most closely tried to emulate the Hebrew people and the Hebrew Bible. Many even called themselves The New Israel. The word Britain is derived from the Hebrew word Brit, meaning Covenant. That is, the Hebrew Covenant with the Hebrew God and His precepts as a guiding light.

    If a society’s culture is the college education of the poorest people, we aren’t keeping up grade school level. China’s getting a bad rap on the Intellectual Property issue. Gunpowder, anyone? Anyhow the fuss is about the ownership of intellectual work product leveraged by employers from the actual creative agents in their employ. Thus, China as the arguable source of Western Civilization’s most influential key catalyst (gunpowder) is merely exercising it’s patronage. Joe Biden sees this clearly.

      Who says China didn’t get it from elsewhere? I’m pretty sure explosives already existed in Greek and even earlier in Babylonian and Persian times. History makes numerous hints to that effect. Because of instability this secret technology was lost, but a variation of it survived in China.

    • BackRowHeckler February 5, 2021 at 4:22 pm #

      Trouble is China didn’t do much with black powder except make fireworks. It took the English and the Germans to harness the power of it, first, fashioning artillery pieces capable of knocking down medieval castles c1350, and by 1400 ‘handgunnes’ that could perforate the finest armor plate.

      In the Boxer Rebellion c1900 Germans, British, American and Japanese troops deployed small bore bolt action rifles using modern smokeless ammo; the Chinese showed up with 16th century matchlocks.

    The absurdity of it all is how obvious the big picture problem is to anyone that even cares to look, and yet our political and military leaders ignore it as do the think tanks and media on both sides of the aisle.

    Both sides of the aisle recognize China as the true threat to the country even if the Dems are reluctant to publicly say so. They know. Why isn’t the military screaming that we can’t fight WWIII if our supply lines go back to our primary adversary, China? How can transgender rights be a higher priority than the very survival of the country when the war with China comes when we know China has been preparing for it for years & years?

    How can worrying about what the fuel source is that keeps the lights on be a higher priority than hardening the grid itself against cyber attacks? Take the grid down and I suppose we’ll be 100% green when we revert back to an 1821 lifestyle.

    Perhaps I already have my answer in just looking back over the past year where the public health infrastructure of the country was shocked to learn that much of what they needed was made in China and that we did not have stockpiles tucked away for this eventuality despite the billions and billions spent on pandemic preparedness. They were equally shocked to learn that the just-in-time supply system was fragile and unable to meet their needs. How is it possible that they didn’t already know these things? I knew it and I’m a nobody.

    The day China makes its move the cascading failure of the US will make even France’s performance in WWI & WWII look good.

    ” At any rate, if you have watched enough movies made after, say, 1999, you know the best soldiers are hot 21 yo women, trannies, Community Members, and gay men, in that order. ”

    Maybe you should watch Russian movies , circa 1935 ?

    If you think the Alamo was something to brag about , check out Stalingrad.

    Those boys at the Alamo had it easy.

    Stalingrad …. was …. fucking …. BAD.

    No way could any movie do it justice.

    Such a movie , if even close to accurate , you couldn’t stand to watch more than five minutes of.

    You would have to walk out of the theater , lest you deliberately induce in yourself full – blown suicidal clinical depression.

    Anyway , the folks who basically ushered us into hell , and nailed us to trees ,

    were basically hot chicks , trannies , and Gay men.

    Believe it or not , once upon a time the Bolsheviks were quite keen on hot chicks , trannies , and Gay men.

    Of course the Bolshevik ( and coincidentally British and American ) narrative leaves out a few details.

    Yes , it is actually true that hot chicks , trannies , and Gay men dug 500 foot – deep wells , and five mile long irrigation canals —

    — In the wilds of the Kuban.

    — With shovels. Not with backhoes.

    And , yes , it is actually true that hot chicks , trannies , and Gay men launched frontal assaults on German troops — armed with spears .

    So what details are left out ?

    The hot chicks wound up retiring to cheap NKVD brothels. ( cheap that is for the NKVD patrons. Not for the girls. )

    And when the cameras were turned off , and the journalists left for their 500 – dollar – a – plate lunches , and those very nice NKVD brothels ,

    the trannies and the Gay men were taken out and shot.

    Because , actually , Stalin despised fags.

    ( only slightly less than he hated privileged , pampered , entitled , Head – Cheerleader , hot chick – types.

    It’s shear speculation , but I reckon it gave Stalin a great deal of satisfaction the day he told Krupskaya , ” That you were Lenin’s wife , and now his widow , doesn’t mean shit. I’ll have you shot. Or , worse , I’ll have you wishing we would shoot you. ” )

    Is all of that funny ?

    Or depressing ?

    Since I’m on the subject —

    ” I’ll have you shot. Or , worse , I’ll have you wishing we would shoot you. ”

    It’s rather naive , thinking that being shot is the worst that can be done.

    Is there anyone you really care about ? Is there anyone you genuinely love ?

    No , we won’t touch you.

    WE WILL GO GET THEM.

    Have a nice day.

      He was President of the United States , but he didn’t have bodyguards either .

      But those were more innocent times ?

      Hardly .

      I’m relying on memory , so the details may be in error.

      Some guy said Andrew Jackson’s wife was a bit of a tart. ( Which was true. )

      So future – President Andrew Jackson got shit – faced drunk , and went looking for the guy , and popped off a few shots at him in broad daylight on a public street .

      And nothing particularly unusual about that sort of thing in those halcyon days of yore.

      In those days , cowboys and kitchen maids went strolling into the White House , whilst packing heat.

      But , hey , it’s a republic , right ?

      Remember ??

      Anyway , even when it was actually something like an actual republic , when was the last time you actually elected a Taxi driver or a kitchen maid to the Presidency ?

      You have to be a millionaire to get elected President in the first place.

      That is to say , if a President actually needs bodyguards ,

      surely he can afford to hire them himself ??

    Stalin was a very heavy cigarette smoker .

    He lived to be 73 , or 75 ?

    If there was any justice in the world , somebody should have beaten him to death with a discarded shoe when he was 15 years old.

    And you should see the house where Stalin shrugged off this mortal coil !

          And it’s Alexander the Great , even though he was a total fucking psycho ,

          But it’s Philip the Barbarian.

          ” Many a desert flower is born to bloom unseen , and spend its fragrance on the desert air ”

          or something like that.

          Anyway , I like Putin too.

          It warms my heart that even in AD 2021 someone still at least occasionally says ( in so many words ) to the Americans , ” Fuck off. “

            Yeltsin said it first. Why do you think Americans bad mouth him so much?

            The U.S was the most powerful that time. And still is.

            When you are not the 1st, you talk differently. You give your redlines but with a huge opportunity for the big guy to save face; in a situation of non-total-war.

            Like Ayran lobbing those missiles after a warning.

            Like Russia playing along with the covid thing.

            Like Yeltsin letting the west loot billions.

            Your country had never been in a position. Your last stronger enemy was Britain, cousins at that time.

    The intellectual culmination of the Women’s Liberation Movement was the 1970’s phenomenon of “Streaking”. People felt so “Free” and unencumbered that they just impulsively took their clothes off and started to run around in public. True or False?

    Do you remember that 1970’s movie about the “Special Ed” teacher (John Hurt?) who claimed that he could teach his class of Retarded Kids by getting them to sing a crass Rock ‘N Roll song called “Booma-Wang-Wang”? Fortunately, in the movie the male teacher wasn’t “Booma-Wang-Wanging” any of his retarded students as would inevitably be the case in the real world.

    • KesaAnna February 5, 2021 at 10:43 pm #

      I’m probably annoying the shit out of you now.

      But you keep inspiring me !

      Even after a childhood spent in East Germany , actually , I used to think George Orwell’s 1984 , and Animal Farm , were a bit far – fetched and exaggerated.

      But then I was 12 years old , or 25 years old.

      Sooner or later you see things whether you want to or not.

      In addition to being a history buff , I’m also something of a fashion junkie.

      Like , I have an embarrassingly large Barbie Doll collection.

      Why the hell did I buy 15 of the exact same Brunette Hispanic Barbie Doll ??

      Because she was wearing a DIFFERENT marvelous dress !!

      Or , they put an interesting braid in her hair !!

      I have two versions of the exact same Skipper doll , wearing the exact same outfit ,

      BUT in one case her blue jean shorts are stitched in sky blue thread , and in the other , her blue jean shorts are stitched in candy pink thread !

      Anyway ,

      I remember , for example , when every third woman , whether 5 years old , 12 years old , or 40 years old , was wearing a really short skirt or dress.

      How short ?

      If she bent over ever so slightly you would see everything.

      And they didn’t wear shorts under it either.

      Just and only panties.

      I don’t think they had thongs then ?

      But it seems to me it was oddly worse.

      For some reason , in the 1970’s – mid – 1980’s Fruit of the Loom ( was that the manufacturer ? It was a long time ago . )

      must have churned out 500 billion of the same panty ;

      Thin cotton , white , with a pattern of tiny pink roses.

      Somehow that strikes me as somehow more obscene than thongs.

      I would think you would see thongs in a shitty Biker Bar , or a Mad Max movie , and how is that supposed to be attractive ?

      Does the Texas Chainsaw Massacre give you a stiffy ?

      But thin white cotton , with a pattern of tiny pink roses , and covering everything , but only covering.

      Somehow , demure , but decadent at the same time.

      Maybe words just can’t convey the effect ?

      Thongs are just trashy and vulgar.

      The underwear we wore then , and which you so often saw with your own eyes , was more like seeing a cockroach on a very nice wedding cake.

      At least that is how it sometimes struck me , though I do have bisexual tendencies I suppose.

      Maybe men only saw the wedding cake ?

      But then , like I said , 8 year old girls , and 50 year old girls , were wearing these skirts and these panties …..

      so……

      maybe best to say no more ….. ?

      Speaking of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre , that was a 1970’s movie.

      I would call it violent porn.

      Or , simply , a snuff film by another name.

      Another 1970’s film was , ” I spit on your grave ” .

      That maybe makes The Texas Chainsaw Massacre look like a childrens movie ,

      except the protagonist is female , and apparently the victim ??

      In brief , a pretty girl who looks to be about 12 , but is of course about 20 , is minding her own business , and never the less gets violently gang raped.

      That’s the Rated PG part though.

      The revenge she subsequently carries out makes the thugs who raped her look like half – assed , slacker , amateurs.

      Granted , these were movies , and make – believe , but the fairey tales a society spins are a round – about clue as to the reality of what is going on for real.

      The Summer of Love was not just a bumper sticker , Head Shop decal , or a T – shirt.

      Lots of now 60 year old Soccer moms acted out that shit for real.

      ( I don’t mean eating people and stringing up mentally retarded boys. I mean the other part, )

      The polite story is that how Squeaky Fromme got her nick – name was that when 80 year old George Spahn rubbed her legs , or pinched her butt , she squeaked.

      The not – so polite story is that she squeaked with delight when 80 year old George Spahn fucked her brains out , which was pretty much every day.

      Squeaky Fromme was actually about 20 or so at the time ,

      so I guess that was kinda kosher.

      The fact was , though , ” Free Love ” not uncommonly meant 15 year old girls fucking their brains out with 40 year old men .

      No , unlike the Manson Family , they did not take up murder as a hobby.

      They just took up the fucking as a hobby part.

      Is that better ?

      The story you will hear now is that AIDS originated with fags screwing monkeys and pigs on safari in Zambia.

      That’s self – flattering , self – serving bullshit.

      It’s a pretty good bet that AIDS had something to do with the fact that in 1971 ;

      The Pill = No consequences.

      And that was true , too !

      Trade every bodily fluid you have , in every orifice , all day long , and with anyone.

      It doesn’t matter.

      The Pill is 99% effective , and penicillin is as effective as the Hydrogen Bomb.

      Another movie to watch , or book to read , is , ” Looking for Mr. Goodbar. ”

      Actually , by todays standards , that movie really would be rated PG.

      BORINGLY Rated PG .

      No more eye – popping than , ” My Dinner with Andre. ”

      Anyway, never the less , Looking For Mr. Goodbar is a very informative movie.

      Perhaps precisely because it is so pedestrian and mundane.

      Hugh Hefner and Bob Guccione bestrode the 1970’s like twin Collosus of Rhodes.

      John Holmes was a rock star , and not because of the Wonderland murders.

      ” Debbie Does Dallas” was , at the time , arguably more successful than ” Star Wars”.

      As far as I know , it did not become common knowledge until years later that Carrie Fischer was snorting mountains of cocaine , and sucking every dick in Southern California ?

      But it certainly was common knowledge at the time who Linda Lovelace was , and what her hobbies were.

      I love strolls down memory lane , I could go on like this for hours .

      so —

      — Anyway —

      I have lived to see that it isn’t ancient history that is erased.

      WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK is erased , by people who were present !

      And not just in North Korea ,

      but in Iowa !

      Like , for example , the family farm wasn’t sold to China in 2017 or some such shit.

      No , that happened in 1985 , at the latest.

      And it wasn’t sneaky politicians or diabolical millionaire robber barons.

      I distinctly remember when , ” Fuck those sorry over – paid auto workers ! ” And , ” Fuck those inbred hayseed Southern textile workers ! ”

      were ABSOLUTELY COMMON expressions.

Now people are so brainwashed, and inured to cognitive dissonance they don’t even try to make it look real, like that “Capitol shooting”.

    • hmuller February 6, 2021 at 1:38 am #

      Pucker, the movie was “Children of a Lesser God” (1986) with William Hurt and Marlee Matlin. The teenagers Hurt taught were deaf, not retarded, and the song was “Ba boom a rang rang”.

      I was a college freshman the autumn when the streaking craze hit. I don’t recall anyone connecting it with Women’s Liberation. Also noteworthy, women streakers were outnumbered at least 10 to 1 by men.

      • Chippenhook February 6, 2021 at 8:38 am #

        I streaked a couple times in college, and women’s lib had nothing to do with it. It was just something fun to do on a spring evening after a bit of alcohol to lessen any inhibitions.

      When we turn on the TV or read the paper, all we get is your Leftist tripe. The USSR had Pravda that was state controlled. Here we are approaching the same lack of a contrarian press as Russia had in its heyday. The descent continues, watching the Biden administration is like watching a toilet flush.

      • Tekapo February 6, 2021 at 4:00 pm #

        “When we turn on the TV or read the paper, all we get is your Leftist tripe.”

        Are we sure about that?

        Apart from a few high-profile anti-Trump media (MSNBC, CNN), by far the majority of media and publishers across the nation are conservative (eg, Sinclair, Fox), and the three major networks are hardly hotbeds of radicalism. They’re pretty conservative too – middle of the road mostly, with their audiences.

        Even the NYT and Washington Post – high critical of Trump because that’s what attracts their audience – aren’t calling for the overthrow of capitalism … they want capitalism to function better, but they are a million miles from any “Leftist” position.

        Lou Dobbs was expunged not because he was a raving barking-mad conspiracy-driven nutjob, but because he has been sued for $2.7 billion – and the settlement figure will no doubt be something that Rupert Murdoch will notice.

        You can get away with such behaviour on some anonymous Internet forum or social media, but not on a commercial channel, where those suing know you can pay.

        I would also prefer far greater diversity in the media, but most left media has been squeezed out of the town square – at least since 1917 when WWI propaganda was on the rise, and anti-war sentiment was ruthlessly crushed.

          A nation of nations is an oxymoron. Diversity has killed more countries than anything else.

          When you ask these new Americans why, you will probably get as many answers. They do not have a clue what the basis of this country is. I wonder what the percentage of immigrants, especially illegals, actually desire citizenship, or are here to rip off the US taxpayer with the help of the Democrats.

    From JHK:

    “Do you think it’s unhealthy that all the profit in American commerce is funneled into Bentonville, Arkansas? It used to be distributed in hundreds of thousands of small businesses in tens of thousands of US towns and cities.”

    It’s certainly unhealthy – and it should not be inevitable.

    In other capitalist societies there is usually – in any field of commerce – a range of companies, with a few big players in robust competition, then a much larger group of medium-sized ones, and then a lot of small players who find a viable niche in the market – certainly enough for a family to survive.

    But even in a time of plenty, Americans will travel further to get butter at 20c a pound cheaper, and the same for a wide range of things that the country still does actually produce.

    For a wide range of other stuff from China – from shoes to bedsheets to crockery to tools and flatscreen TVs … small providers have almost no chance to compete. We have all been seduced by lower prices, and a “good enough” attitude towards the quality of so many things.

    The cost of this consumer cornucopia is very high indeed. And Walmart will dominate until its business model no longer works … its supply chains are broken, or there are hardly any customers for what it sells.

      You are right on. The product of unrestrained capitalism through competition is big box everything, and little competition. How easy it would be to nationalize the few remaining industries and voila, Communism, ownership by the state.

      It just petrifies me to think of those nincompoops in DC running this country’s economy.

      You are right about something else too. It is a very economically stupid public that allows this to happen. Frisco, CO was a very nice ski town with a Main Street with nice shops and small businesses on it. Then Walmart moved in and destroyed it. It is the mentality of the gimme folks that have just about taken over the country that is the cause. It is being propagated by a very greedy, power hungry elite in DC that was elected by the same gimme folks.

      The US is evolving into a gimme nation, which our competitors overseas just love.

      Question, what are the exporters like China going to do without the consumer market here? When the US goes, the world goes.

      Dems do not seem to understand this at all. Biden’s response to the horrific labor report today was terrible. He and his group have no idea what to do. We are in big trouble.

        I don’t understand your thought processes here … I assume by the gimme folks you mean the unemployed, life-long welfare types, etc, but how have they led to Walmart getting into Frisco?

        BTW we have toured through the I-70 corridor of Colorado in winter … been to most of the ski-towns including Telluride, Aspen, Vail, Copper Mountain and so on. The Walmart in Glenwood Springs was humongous.

    Jake Tapper, Feb 3

    In 2018, Rep Greene approvingly shared a white supremacist video claiming that “an unholy alliance of leftists, capitalists and Zionist supremacists has schemed to promote immigration and miscegenation, with the deliberate aim of breeding us out of existence in our own homelands”.

    Yoho: Perhaps so, Jake, perhaps so. But is she wrong about this? Biden himself said a few years ago that he wanted an unrelenting stream of immigrants coming into America until Whites were an absolute minority. Other national leaders of Western countries have said similar things. Do you disapprove of this? Or is it that you can’t stand that we dare to speak the ugly truth aloud? Or even oppose it? You’re clearly for it, I take it. Why? Is it alright to ask why?

          This country needs to decide what it is! If the browning of America (the Kalergi Plan) continues and the voters support it, it will be time for the productive majority of Whites in the country to form their own homeland, somewhere else.

          I really like that incensed trucker today and his desire to just cut off the Democratic cities, especially DC. The White majority of this country makes this country go and it is about time someone sends a message out

            Tate, if you click on the guy’s name you’ll get a page with much more information on it.

            Including the bizarre fact that so many people have thought he and/or his family were Jewish, which was not the case.

          • Tate February 7, 2021 at 3:01 pm #

            Thanks for the tip. In reviewing the page on the man himself, we find that he married a Jew, & that the big financial backers for his schemes were Jewish. So it’s not really a “bizarre fact” as you term it that people might think this.

            But for anyone of discernment, the information provided also confirms what the other page titled “Kalergi Plan” denies, dismissing it as a far-right conspiracy theory.

            Quote:

            In his 1925 book Practical Idealism, Coudenhove-Kalergi envisioned an all-encompassing race of the future made up of “Eurasian-Negroid[s],” replacing “the diversity of peoples” and “[t]oday’s races and classes” with a “diversity of individuals.”[42]

            Replacing a “diversity of peoples” with a “diversity of individuals“. Hmmm. Perhaps in order to replace racial solidarity with mind-numbing masses of deracinated, confused, frightened, gullible individuals easily led by a super-elite cosmopolitan elite? Nah, that couldn’t be it. (/sarc)

            I find it interesting how the whole is organized to slyly silo the information this way so that the casual reader wouldn’t put 2 & 2 together. But you have helped me with that, so thanks again.

      Y look at today’s presser where she basically declared political war on the Dems and the media. She tried to “apologize” for some of her rhetoric in the past, that did not work. The Dems have created a monster with Greene. She now has nothing to lose and you watch, she is a spokesman for the Patriots from now on.

      Do you think the press will cover her like they do AOC? Both are extremists opposing each other. Watch and see, the “responsibility” of the press is non-existent.

        Read the Peter Byrnes series linked to above. I’ve started. Trump gave up, perhaps out of fear for his family and/or himself.

        Maybe the military is really in charge, at least of some things. Dual power? Ancient nations sometimes had a War King and a Peace King – though not at the same time. If so, a very strange system.

        It’s in their hands. Only they can save us now – and they probably don’t want to. Military men tend to be conservative in a very bad way, accepting the status quo as that which must be defended. Cops too of course. If the Supreme Court didn’t even bother to defend the Republic, do we really expect military men to do it? The System has a glaring weakness here, one that has been exploited. The Free Thinkers keep their opinions to themselves. Otherwise they won’t rise. And thus at some point they either quit in disgust or they jettison their “childish” beliefs and get with the program.

        Special Forces guys are said to be more open about their beliefs. But they have their own thing, their own home – and they won’t rise up out of it. Men like Patton would have never made it to the top today. A Warrior is one thing and a soldier quite another. One fights on his own terms and the other follows orders. The latter are far more common and the former are thus segregated and allowed a bit of leeway as the useful anarchronisms they are.

        • chola3 February 6, 2021 at 12:48 am #

          i think the supreme court did nothing wrong.

          Texas case about other states: As a republic, you are to accept whoever each state sends as electors.

          Other cases: It is obvious the cheating cannot occur without collusion. But Trump thought he needed those colluders because they are Republicans. So, without naming names, case becomes a list of innuendo.

          Probably he thought/was advised these cases will frighten these cheaters/traitors to fall in line.

          Ms Powell seemed to have something before she was kicked out. When she returned, she had nothing.

          Now I do believe he is compromised. My father was the same age and I can sympathize.

            Well remember, contest is not combat. A contest has rules. Combat has none. An election is a contest between citizens. If a boxer kicks another boxer below the belt, he loses by default. That’s what was done to Trump. To certify such an election is “legalism” of the worst sort. By definition (if not precedent), Pence was honor bound not to accept such an unworthy offering. If I came into a Krishna or Shiva Temple, and offered shit or garbage, would not the Priest yell for the Temple Guards to have me thrown out?

            But corrupt states are ruled by precedents (when they serve the powers that be or would be) and statutes that obscure the Law. As one suicide put it, the second set of books.

            The Cheaters were very well prepared and the plans deeply laid. They could not be frightened. Trump would have had to act. He was afraid to. Or to be fair, maybe it just wasn’t there. Maybe the military made it clear to him. The Joint Chiefs said as much publicly. But the evidence seems to indicate that it never got that far. As the poster above indicated, he may have been warned off by threats to his family. We’ll probably never know for sure.

            “Pence was honor bound not to accept such an unworthy offering.”

            Only if he was convinced it was an unworthy offering. Despite 4 years of unwavering loyalty to Trump, Pence couldn’t, in all conscience, accept that the election results were fraudulent. As a result, he got thrown under a bus by Trump. At his incitement speech, he said, “I said: ‘Mike, that doesn’t take courage. What takes courage is to do nothing. That takes courage’”. Trump later tweeted, during the riot, “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done.” So, having said it would take courage to do nothing, Trump then said he didn’t have the courage to do something. Trump’s command of English is appalling and his lack of loyalty to those who support him is undeserving of any support. All Trump wants is people to say “yes” to him. Sadly, there are plenty here who don’t want to think for themselves.

    Remember, this state elected Jesse Ventura back in ’98 and the world didn’t end. In fact, ol’ Jesse’s still kickin’ ass in these parts. There was a reasonably credible effort to get him to run for president this year, but being a reasonably intelligent human being, he was the wiser for it.

    ” You should see them shamelessly hawk at the induction ceremonies for new US citizens. I went to one, with my once-Irish friend. Now he’s a ‘proud’ American. THey played a GwB video (must’ve been before 2008) and the Lee Greenwood redneck anthem, “Proud to be an American.” A whole fairground tentful of people. Cheesy. ”

I love how this is turning into her Waterloo. Great shot of her bust btw. Her mask is covering her hooker red lipsticked lips. Fine with me. I like the natural look.

    Next up: Rashida! She survived by being at home. Correspondingly she is more upset, weeping at the podium about her diverse LGTBQ staff, one a Muslima in a hijab, another a proud Black woman, etc. AOC gets up to comfort her. Best friends forever?

          Putin wouldn’t have gotten further than Trump if not for the other guys trained by Yeltsin. They have a team of them. Also spies and saboteurs on the other team.

          In Trump’s case, the traitors are all one side. Proud Boys being the latest example.

            Yes, unfortunately Putin hates White Nationalists and has allowed millions of Muslims to move to the Moscow area. Warrior nations like the Chechens. It’s madness. So White Nationalists fought with New World Order against Russia in Ukraine. No Wisdom on either side. The Global Slave Masters continue to triumph.

            Smart American normies: The Elite pitch one race against another in order to maintain their power – with the assumption being that the races belong together. Wrong. None of the Founders would have accepted that. Conflict between races is natural, the norm. The Elite have actualized and weaponized this potential for their own ends, but it was already there.

    ” Both sides of the aisle recognize China as the true threat to the country ”

    THAT tells me you’re fucked.

    But then , I knew that decades ago , when I woke up in an East Germany of mechanical clocks , and two – hour waits at the grocery store ,

    but then went to bed in an America where the narrative was ,

    ” There will be Soviet tanks rumbling down the street in Nebraska. ”

    ( And I was very proud of our Warsaw Pact forces too. But Russian tanks in Nebraska is less like flattery , and more like plain fucking stupid. )

    No , China is not the true threat.

    First things first , whatever the party line is currently , the fact remains that the current Chinese equivalent of George Washington is Mao Tse Tung.

    Perhaps the fact that Mao had an IQ above 110 , and was a phenomenally successful serial killer ,

    obscures the fact that Mao arguably makes Nero or Commodus look like the sharpest knives in the drawer by comparison ?

    Apparently the fact that the Mongol Empire was the largest empire , by land mass , that ever existed , obscures for many people the fact that one person — almost — could have lived to see the birth of the Mongol Empire , and its end ?

    Not to mention that the Mongols got supplanted by the fucking Manchu’s —

    — Those same Manchu’s who had to hire Chinese Gordon to lead a mercenary army for them , because they were getting their asses kicked by a 19th Century Chinese equivalent of Branch Davidian’s or Moonies.

    No , the greatest threat to America was —

    — 30 years ago , at least.

    And the threat was — Americans.

    The average American.

    You threw the baby out with the bath water , sold the family farm , to the Chinese ,

    and I would have to check my dates , but I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out Mao was still alive when the American people signed that deal.

    Time for a copy – paste ;

    ” Fuck those sorry over – paid auto workers ! ” And , ” Fuck those inbred hayseed Southern textile workers ! ”

    Does that ring any bells in the old memory ?

    Yeah , the Chinese are fucking assholes.

    But that’s bullshit.

      I know ONE of the problem you mentioned, of overpaid workers, has to do with maintaining a relatively stable world currency.

      You can’t inflate your currency more than others. Cannot reduce salary because the workers have fixed commits like house and car payment.

  49. KesaAnna February 6, 2021 at 3:41 am #

    ” What is going to satisfy you liberals, no not liberals, anarchists? ”

    Wrong number I think.

    It appears to me that , while , granted , your average Leftist really hates the Ten Commandments,

    They are never the less very very very fond of the Ten Thousand Commandments.

    As for the opposition , as I have said before , I have a suspicion that the gun control lobby , like the gay lobby , like even the Black lobby , doesn’t really exist , any more than the Stakhanovites really existed ,

    or that a Right – reactionary – Deviation Cell existed under Bukharin.

    No , over a span , in this case , ( Things do sometimes move a bit more slowly in America ) of roughly a hundred years , the gun rights advocates were themselves happy enough to add in one exception here , another exception there , a quibble here , and a caveat there.

    Even if such things as gun control lobbies and Gay lobbies existed , they scarcely were needed.

    Maybe George Orwell was writing specifically about the Bolsheviks when he wrote ,

    ” All Animals are equal —- But some are more equal than others. ” ?

    Never the less , I think the application is unfortunately universal now.

    Just the other day I saw an episode of a TV show — the TV show was actually about 20 years old — where in all apparent seriousness it was suggested a ten year old might actually need the services of a lawyer.

    To me at least , Little House on the Prairie , or Gunsmoke , looks more anarchistic than this shit.

    Weather conditions at the poles are available to anybody who cares to look it up. Did he ever check the temps, and wonder how sea ice is melting at 20-30 degrees below zero? How is it possible?

      An antidote to a culture of lies is insufficient.

      Being woke is simply not enough.
      One must keep pulling off the covers.
      Turning down the bed.
      To the bedrock.

      Societies are built on lies and their subordinates of 1/2 truths and withheld facts.

      The best we can hope for is recognition of hypocrisy.
      All of it.
      Particularly the infinite amount spewing from the elite.
      The privileged class.
      The appointed, coronated, supposedly elected, installed, and de facto arbiters of knowledge, wealth, information, technology, freedom.
      The leadership class.

      I can reconcile their lies. See through them.
      Desperate people. Sociopaths.
      Humans.
      Anything to hang on. To keep control. To keep the system working for them.

      I cannot reconcile the imbeciles unable to see it, and having seen it, unable to believe it, and having believed it, unable to accept it.
      Cowardice breeds conformity.

    So here we are, a nation entering a new Biden Presidency. Its beginning is the marker of how the federal government of the US will operate going forward. Biden signed a flurry of largely symbolic (but not all) executive orders & executive policy changes.

    Moving US troops into Syria. Re-opening the southern border during a pandemic. These moves are seen as “normality” or “back to normal” by the MSM and many Biden voters.

    Meanwhile there is a major push to wage war against the US population under the guise of “domestic terror”.

    Nobody knows who these “domestic terrorists” are, exactly. Proud Boys? A group that battles antifa while they attempt to attack federal courthouses? That’s who the Proud Boys are. Apparently there were several Proud Boy members who were part of the Capitol riot. How many Proud Boys are there in the US? 1000 members?

    Who else? the KKK? Aryan Nations? some other sundry and very fringe groups. All of these people can scratch together what.. 10,000 followers? Maybe?

    Former DCIA Brennan included libertarians were a part of this new terror war. What did they do?

    All of what you are watching is the Wizard of Oz, behind the curtain, with his smoke and mirrors.

    Unsolvable problems with imaginary enemies. The very real & serious prescient problems that we collectively face are completely ignored for these fictions.

      I think the Democrat leadership (and much of the MSM) have made a mistake in labeling loud and vocal pro-Trump groups – and indeed the QAnon crackpots – as “terrorists” … it really dilutes the power and meaning of that word.

      Even “domestic terrorists” is rather too grandiose. Personally I see most of these groups as comprising angry young men who can’t get any sex (or much else), so they resort to wearing camo pajamas and playing cowboys and indians on weekends.

      Many of these people needs bibs and extended day-care – and do not constitute a “terrorist” threat, as most people understand that word. Very few are a potential Timothy McVeigh.

      The storming of the US Capitol was a huge political error for Trump and the GOP more generally, but it was an angry riot, rather than strategic “terrorism”. We’re not dealing with the brightest bulbs on the tree here.

      Even nutter elected people (such as Our Marjorie) should face ridicule and political consequences, rather than sanctions. I think her claims about “hoax” school shootings are obscene, and all the people in Georgia are equally so, but that’s what can happen in the land of the free.

      Craziness like QAnon – and much else – needs to be dealt with politically, and with rational argument and solid information. Labels like “terrorist”, and huge amounts of security everywhere for everyone – these aren’t the answer, it seems to me.

        She (MTG) offered penance (again) at her press conference the other day, but the jackals of the press wouldn’t hear it. For some reason, the scene from “Finding Nemo” comes to mind, the one with the seagulls croaking “mine.” But she’s feisty, she instinctively knows there will be no deus ex machina (in the film a pelican) swooping down to save her.

        • Tekapo February 7, 2021 at 5:05 am #

          She’s not “feisty” – she’s a fucking outrageous lunatic … get a grip man – there is nothing she can say to walk back what she has said so far. The people who vote for her are far worse … at least she’s in it for the money and glory.

          • DuckandCover February 7, 2021 at 7:43 am #

            “The people who vote for her are far worse…”. That statement is everything that is wrong and dangerous in America today. With a broad stroke you demean, condemn and hate half of your fellow countrymen. Are the re-education camps next? The Gulags? The Final Solution? For Christ’s sake, you get a grip and stop the hate.

          • Tate February 7, 2021 at 1:20 pm #

            No, she’s feisty, alright. Look at how she handled the jackals at her news conference. With aplomb & perfect equanimity she destroyed them out of hand. She was the picture of Christian charity & understanding all at the same time she was doing this. She offered them the hand of friendship but she was ready for their bitter response so she was able to readily dispatch them when they refused the olive branch. She knew exactly who she was dealing with, having none of Trump’s dumb naivete. That will keep her safe from the likes of Bob Woodward going forward.

            As far as the Qanon stuff, some of it isn’t so crazy. Yes, the school shooting part is (is that Qanon? I wouldn’t know), & the part about how Trump was in control all along & playing 4D chess, that was all a lie, but can anyone doubt that our elites hate us in part because so many of them have sold their souls to Satan? They are so far into the pedophilia drip that they feel they are beyond redemption. Of course, this isn’t true according to the Bible but that’s what they think.

    If we ever have the opportunity to have a fair election again it seems as if any corporate or lobbyists candidate donations should be illegal and immediately disqualifying for the candidate/s receiving those donations. Corporate media and social media would be required to stay neutral and any act of election interference would have to result in the shutting down of said companies. The Elite Corporatist Cabal has for sure verified via Time, of all places, that indeed there was a CONSPIRACY to interfere in the 2020 election to guarantee a Joe Biden Kamala Harris coronation. What is interesting at this point is that the Supreme Court is taking up President Trump’s Pennsylvania case, Sydney Powell’s Michigan case, and Lin Wood’s Georgia case later this month. So now that the Elite have admitted their conspiracy, they have evaporated away any reasonable doubt, of which they were only able to perpetrate via pre-formatted propaganda and subliminal messaging anyway. Not that I have any faith at all that corrupt and avowed anti-Christ institutions can purvey any justice. But at least the true Big Lie has now uncovered itself which possibly indicates a turning. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

    • Night Owl February 6, 2021 at 4:09 pm #

      SSL, I have not voted since Nader, and this is more or less the reason.

      The idea that we ever had a fair election system is rather optimistic, to say the least.

      The big change this time is that the fraud was so great, everyone could see it.

      That said, if Biden stays in office, this is not going to bode well for the future of the country. The cat is truly out of the bag now.

      • Tekapo February 6, 2021 at 5:06 pm #

        “That said, if Biden stays in office, this is not going to bode well for the future of the country.”

        Irrespective of the Supreme Court, President Biden can only be removed from office by impeachment or the invoking of the 25th Amendment. The Supremes have no powers to remove a president.

        I agree the future of the country is not looking too bright … it will much depend on whether those inside the beltway are willing and able to see the real problems that exist (articulated by JHK)..

        It seems to me that the future matters much less on party politics and much more on facing reality.

          • Tekapo February 6, 2021 at 11:04 pm #

            It can be readily argued that the corporate state (and corporate rule) was a creation of the Republican Party over about a century … and that they still have those goals.

            I agree that the liberal class (including academia, arts, media, churches, bureaucracy, unions, etc) aided and abetted the stealing of the republic – or at least didn’t resist it enough, with some well-known exceptions.

            The Democratic Party has a patchy record too – Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, presented as fairly liberal democrats, but they basically caved to the pressures from the corporate state.

            The never-ending war mentality not only generates huge profits for the corporates, it stifles criticism, free expression, and the right to privacy for every American. And it creates a lot of enemies in many parts of the world.

        The sentence doesn’t say that “somebody on the Democrat Team”… “verified” this. It says that Time magazine inadvertently revealed the collusion. See this link for the story:

        • Tekapo February 6, 2021 at 10:54 pm #

          “It says that Time magazine inadvertently revealed the collusion.”

          Lots of claims and speculation about motives and methods, but not much by way of evidence. And a lot of these claims have been readily explained.

          For example, election rules were changed in a number of states (including states that Trump won handily) in order to facilitate safe voting in a pandemic. Is there a problem with that?

          Anyway, it’s no secret that labor and much of big business wanted to be rid of Trump (and Trumpism) – as did a lot of other stakeholders (I expect within the Republican Party as well).

          So I remain sceptical that the election was rigged before Nov 3, and then fraudulently processed after Nov 3. It’s over to those who believe it was to make their case.

            “…election rules were changed… Is there a problem with that?” Yes, when the election rules are changed by unelected judges. Making “rules” (formerly known as laws) used to be the job of the elected legislature. But I suppose we need to burn this village down to save it.

          • Tekapo February 7, 2021 at 2:11 pm #

            ““…election rules were changed… Is there a problem with that?” Yes, when the election rules are changed by unelected judges.”

            No judge in any state “changed the rules” … in a few states proposed rule changes were challenged in court (usually by Team Trump or the GOP, because voter suppression is what they do best – like removing drop-boxes and closing polling booths in minority areas).

            And in a fair number of cases, judges ruled that in the circumstances (the pandemic), the rule changes were both justified and allowable under state laws. In a couple of notorious cases, judges ruled inflexibly that the laws couldn’t be changed.

            It is Trump myth that the election was fraudulent because the rules were changed. However, Trump’s legal team had weeks or months prior to Nov 3 to challenge any rule changes, and they mostly did not, and further, rules to facilitate safer voting also happened in states that Trump won.

    Banning the internet is the only way to have free speech. They may not be interested in that, I admit. But given the kind of “free speech” allowed on social media, it must be banned if the nation would live.

    East Asians don’t have much of a tradition of free speech, not until they westernized at least. And now only the illusion of free speech remains, since only treason is allowed, not patriotism.

      I was just going over these bogus claims earlier today after having also done so a few years ago. Of course, to call out the hilarious discrepancies is to labelled (how original) a “raciss!”

      Of course, Black History Month is just a flimsy excuse to bombard us with more contemporary pictures and videos of Blacks being smarter than Whites, and much more representative of the overall population. To go by TV commercials, you’d think the national Black pop. was 75%.

      On that note, last night I watched 5 TV commercials as a sociology update.

      #1 Black neighbour catches White neighbour doing something embarrassing.

      #2 Black man with White wife — probably the only time a man is able to be shown as the take-charge partner in a relationship.

      #3 Black woman with White woman friend. White woman does something stupid on the computer. Black friend smiles wryly, while patiently correcting her.

      #4 White couple visits insurance office. Black woman, competent, cheerful, self-composed, instructs our inferior White homeowners.

      #5 Black man and Asian man in a weird holographic series of images. Asian in background, Black featured prominently as a sort of cross between powerful and mysterious.

      No shit, these were all back-to-back.

For parents to qualify, they have to earn, per year, less than…$400,000.

    There is a multidimensional race “war” going on here and has been for quite awhile.

    There are gangs running the illicit trades, especially drugs and they are built into our economic structure now. Heck, a number of states have legalized weed. It is being pushed in DC nationwide by the LEFT.

    These gangs are competing with each other and it is intensifying. Gangs from the cartels, Ms 13, the black gangs and Chinese , Asian gangs all want the gold ring. Can you blame them, it is a huge part of this country as it commits economic suicide.

    I believe that the common culture JHK bemoans is being replaced by the criminal culture of the urban battleground. The Left, the Deep State and the globalists are behind it all. They are promoting the “trades” because all the other economic activity is slowly being destroyed by the same group. Think about right now. Folks raising the alarm about all this are being throttled by the Democrats and RINOs. Why?

    Because the Left is behind it. Because Hollywood is behind it. Because the globalists are behind it. Why?

    Because they need the bucks to keep the world economy going, to pay the interest payments on all those debts. Trump tried to pull capital back into the US with America First. The Deep State and their masters had to squelch this movement, and thanks to the stupidity of the American voter, they succeeded. We are now under the control of a criminal syndicate that makes the Italian mafia look like small potatoes.

    The scariest part is when the masters stop the crime competition and our main economy becomes illicit. The Mafia used to control gambling, prostitution, loan sharking, the drugs. Bad, bad! It is now all legal, and the continuing push comes from the Deep State. Why?

    Because without it all, the economy would collapse and the National debt could not be serviced. We are so close!

    Do you think the the buddying up to the Chinese by the Left right now is an attempt to get an escape mechanism. Please, help us pay our bills?

So after they tear apart the middle class for a period of time, their credibility runs out and a Trump gets elected.

      Tate,
      You remember a poster of late…”Thwack”? He would ask, as a knee-jerk reaction…”What color was he”?

      I, myself, will not ask, as I be suspectin’ a person of color, considering patronizing a chicken and waffle shack.

      But I could be wrong….

    Just thinking.

    Could it be?

    Look at the new cases, the trends are down everywhere in the world.

    In spite of all the scientists saying things are going to get worse. It seems like the more they shoot off their mouths, the steeper the decline.

    Hmmm. How can that be?

    There may be a simple answer and it may be applicable to every virus epidemic that happens. They all go away by themselves after a while, how come. They go away abruptly and leave the experts scratching their heads. Trump based his response on expectations that this would repeat again. When it did not he was finished.

    How about this straw man.

    The key is the asymptomatic cases. People who never knew they had it because their immune system, their genes, were strong or attuned by prior experience with similar viruses.

    My gues is why we see the down trends fire up with only 10% of the population vaccinated is because of the Asymptomatic folks. I think we are achieving herd immunity because of the. Asymptomatic percentage being huge, being maybe 50% of the population. Once they are exposed and become immune, the surge rapidly ends because the virus starves for new candidates.

    ??? If we could just treat the folks who teach badly and stop the cascade of the disease, any virus would become insignificant.

    The worst thing that can happen is to just ignore the virus once herd immunity is achieved. We made that mistake with SARS 1, Obama did it. We need to progress in methods to kill the viruses in susceptible folks.

  71. KesaAnna February 6, 2021 at 11:00 pm #

    ” Kesa,
    You seem well versed in knowledge of Hollywood’s sordid underbelly.

    …Was it true what they said about Liberace? ”

    While I wasn’t exactly shocked and disillusioned when I learned that Jim Neighbors and Rock Hudson were gay ,

    It WAS news to me.

    To me , Rock Hudson didn’t ooze testosterone.

    But that does not necessarily signify anything , not least on account of the fact that Rock Hudson didn’t turn my crank anyway.

    Gomer Pyle was ALWAYS on TV , it was on TV TOO MUCH.

    So Jim Neighbors bored me to tears already.

    I preferred Sergeant Carter , and I couldn’t say what his real life sexuality was.

    Since Sergeant Carter ceased putting in an appearance seemingly ANYWHERE a long time ago , I assume he died young , which means I assume he was normal.

    The rule is that the reward for virtue is a long life.

    I’m sorry , but my decided experience is just the opposite.

    So much so , indeed , if I’m dealing with someone over age 40 ( and that’s the bare minimum too in liberal allowance ) I automatically assume I’m dealing with a rascal .

    The rich and the powerful take the cream for themselves , correct ?

    So does God.

    If I ever met a truly good and noble and virtuous person , well , not a one of them but is dead.

    Well , sure , I know some very nice people who are still breathing , but not a single biography but that if the surface is scratched a little a buried body isn’t found.

    My big disappointment was the guy who played Sulu on Star Trek.

    I was rather sweet on him.

    THAT’s the crew member I would go for.

    Well , apparently in real life Mr. Spock had a daughter. She featured with him once in a TV commercial . Very interesting to see what Leonard Nemoy would look like if female.

    Very cute 25 – 30 year old girl actually.

    So at least there my fantasies aren’t shattered , though I suppose they would be adulterous.

    You just can’t win , damn it !

    I never liked Captain Kirk.

    But then I heard that in real life his wife got sick — got sick for about ten years . The guy isn’t poor , so he could well afford to say , ” Fuck you , I’m headed for greener pastures . ”

    But apparently he stuck by her to the end.

    So now Captain Kirk is dreamy.

    Eh , just go ahead and fuck the whole Star Ship Enterprise crew , and be done with the bother of distinctions.

    It was 1965 anyway. Antibiotics kill everything in 1965.

    Asbestos was a miracle fiber , and DDT was the good shit.

    Anyway —

    Liberace ?

    Presumably you know who Liberace was ? You saw the guy ?

    What do you think ?

    The very interesting thing to me about Liberace was that at a time when homosexuality was more or less a felony in some jurisdictions ,

    and very very taboo ,

    He was rather obvious.

    At least it sure looked that way to me , and it’s not like I’m brilliant or psychic.

    His personal life ? I don’t know shit.

    Hell , maybe he hung with the Manson Family for all I know ?

    But certainly publicly he was Lawrence Welk – type faire.

    Wholesome , orthodox , white bread.

    Hypothetically , would you break into a cold sweat if your 13 year old daughter wanted to go to a Liberace concert ?

    ( Granted , if he’s gay then I don’t suppose little girls are his thing . But still ? )

    But then , you can see today that Disney is viewed as family – friendly ,

    when it seems to me that Disney is fucking diabolical.

    But then I have an autographed portrait of Eric Honecker , which I still stubbornly refuse to part with , so my opinion is compromised.

    You just can’t win , damn it !

    • JohnAZ February 6, 2021 at 11:18 pm #

      I remember back in the 70’s that I found out that Touchstone Picture was a PG, PG13 and R rated creation of Disney. I remember thinking that that was a sacrilege and wondered what Walt would’ve thought.

      The evil has spread since then.

    • Disaffected February 7, 2021 at 7:54 am #

      Nice Sgt Carter/Vince Sutton reference. Turns out he died of a heart attack in 1974, so just a few years after Gomer Pyle wrapped. He really did make that series, which was really just about putting a kinder gentler face on the US military, which had a little image problem here at home in those days.

    • Yohannon February 7, 2021 at 2:05 pm #

      How can you not like Captain Kirk? I suppose the same way you can like England, love East Germany, but not give a rat’s ass about the White race. As if any old people could have created these nations. As if they’ll still exist once the people are brown and Muslim.

      • Blackbird February 7, 2021 at 3:34 pm #

        Captain Kirk, a flawed man (probably at least one court-martial-able offense per episode), but a real man.

        • Yohannon February 7, 2021 at 4:35 pm #

          Remember the time he when he said he pitied Spock for not being able to love a woman? To experience the glorious defeats and tragic victories? Exhausted he put his head down and fell asleep. Ever so gently Spock applied the Vulcan mind meld in order to find out what he was missing.

    ” Why not allow a tax deduction on CHILD SUPPORT? ”

    It reminds me of an old Alanis Morisette Song , ” We love you , just the way you are ……if you’re perfect. ”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jJDsK1EjQs

    That is , you are important to us , and we are concerned about your welfare …..

    …. If we recognize your demographic.

    If you’re popular.

    If we give a shit.

    Men are just sperm donors don’t you know ? So it don’t look good for you.

    And if by chance you are female , well , before the Civil War all the TV shows ( figuratively speaking ) were about white slave owners.

    And after the Civil War , all the TV shows were STILL about white slave owners.

    And 100 years later , all the TV shows are STILL about white slave owners.

    Hey , what if you are white , poor , and don’t own any slaves ?

    You don’t exist.

    Take my word for it , or don’t take my word for it , there are lots of women , and blacks , and whatever , that don’t exist.

    Even if you have the luck to land in a popular demographic , if you don’t parrot the narrative that demographic wants to hear , the narrative they think will keep the gravy flowing to their side —

    Abracadabra !

    Yep! Cancel culture has existed for forever. And as soon as you fall outside of the accepted norms of the conversation, whether you fall to the right or to the left (admittedly more right than left though) that abracadabra happens faster than your eyes can blink. And next thing you know you are being escorted out of a townhall meeting, told to immediately vacate the premises of so n sos offices, banned from businesses, removed from so n sos meetup and on and on. So the best thing is to just tell it like it is and let the chips fall where they may. So yes, when your development plans require you to brutally clearcut pristine woods wthout remorse just to put up some soulless corporatized brain dead big box nightmare then do be prepared to be called out as a heartless ecocidal mass murderer. Or when you want to bring more refugees into the neighborhood don’t act shocked when a petition to obliterate the walls of your gated community and turn your mansion into a refugee receiving center is filed.

    But I do agree with you that wishing and hoping to have a fair election in the current American moment is both a misunderstanding of history and a naive at best view of the future. And so with that said the global “community” should be very aware that the United States government has absolutely no moral authority to even comment on the situation in Burma, let alone make any pronouncements to any country regarding elections and “democracy”. The United States is essentially an unmitigated police/surveillance tyranny in which all aspects of existence are rigged so that the wealthiest are accumulating all assets and resources, including those being actively stripped away from everyone else. And the United States is also the only country in which its own citizens are bascally second class or worse in comparison to foreign nationals. I assume this is because the United States is a corporate entity, not a country, and most certainly not a nation. So Americans are like Gypsies or Kurds. Truly a stateless people. In this sense, China has far more reality than the United States because China is a real country. And also, China is morally superior to the United States because it is a real nation that is for the Chinese people. The United States is a destroyer of Nations and Peoples.

      Good post.

      The United States is a destroyer of Nations and Peoples.

      Yup, but only half of the United States. The other half support the Deep State which is the destroyer of everything that Patriots hold dear, starting with the Constitution.

      It is because in their insatiable thirst for power, the Liberals,Dems and RINOs, have turned the US into a developing country with the average citizen uninformed and dedicated to the Left. It has been said many times before but it is illegal immigration and lousy education that has done this, both products of the Left. It worked, we are now Uniparty.

      A big question. Why? What is everybody afraid of? What happened to the respect Americans had for the law? With no law, the American paradigm collapsing as that is the ONLY thing that binds us together.

      The Dems know this and the Law of the land with the Constitution as its basis is under 24/7 attack now. Trolls, deny this if you can. how can you support this nest of vipers in DC right now. You did not like Trump. Now you are getting the shaft from the alternative. I hope you all work for the oil industry and are getting screwed over right now.

      • SoftStarLight February 7, 2021 at 3:00 pm #

        Let’s keep in mind too that the American population has literally had a propaganda war and complete psychological assault enacted against us for a long time. Kids have been indoctrinated with radical leftist ideas for several generations in order to tear society apart from the inside. But the right side has also been indoctrinated with dangerous ideas like loving business and profit above all else, etc. So yes people are responsible for their role in things. But in many ways the population at large is a victim of unconventional warfare. So I don’t want anyone to be harmed as much as enlightened really. Part of this is that the deep state people you are referring to are the people who can’t be enlightened because they are doing this intentionally.

        • JohnAZ February 7, 2021 at 6:55 pm #

          The Right equals business? A phony baloney propaganda ploy by the Left. Do you nor remember how every major IT and business corporation blacklisted Trump last fall. The GOP no longer is the party of big business, it is the populist party.

          • SoftStarLight February 7, 2021 at 8:38 pm #

            Yep I sure do. But just saying that the populism you are refering to is all because of the MAGA movement that was able to at least during Trump’s term give the appearance of eclipsing the power of the corporate establisment faction of the GOP. Btw Liz Cheney, Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, and many others have not received the populist memo unfortunately. There is little to distinguish them from the corporation big tech loving Democrats it seems.

    • Yohannon February 7, 2021 at 1:57 pm #

      Well and truly said. But more: Every White Nation is against its own native population and desperately seeking to supplant them as per the mandate of New World Order. All this didn’t begin yesterday – its roots are deeply laid and the work began generations ago. The replacement of Whites in Europe in called the Kalergi Plan.

      The dream of One World goes back ages of course. The power drive this time stems from the International Bankers, with the Rothschilds in the fore, commencing centuries ago.

      • SoftStarLight February 7, 2021 at 2:43 pm #

        So basically the main force pushing the agenda are the international banking cartels and the US government for example has become an instrument and tool for their purposes. And they have been aided and abetted by enemies within who are at least paid to do the dirty work, if not agreeing outright with what they are doing? Hey. I’m not sure if you heard about it or not but Andrew Torba has come out saying that Jared Kushner is the one who has kept DJT from getting on Gab and reaching out directly to the base. And then I heard something even worse. A friend of mine said she heard that DJT was actually a Rothschilds asset. Something about he is indebted to them because they rescued him financially in the past. At the time I was unable to process that information or deal with it in any way. Have you ever heard anything like that before?

        • Yohannon February 7, 2021 at 3:09 pm #

          Not specifically, but many think he is Deep State.

          His Dad told him, we sell over here in New Jersey, they have Manhattan. Trump wasn’t satisfied – he wanted it all. So that may well have had a price, specifically getting involved with the Kushners. That may have been the price of admission. You can’t walk away from some things. Not completely, not safely.

          I don’t know either. But I can imagine him trying to walk a line even as the fault line became a visible crack and then opened completely. He tried to do the impossible, and of course he couldn’t.

          So in the end, he chose safety and his family – and to throw his followers under the bus as an offering to the outraged powers that be. Legion has many members but only One Will. That is its power. So since Rothschild is the biggest, your source wouldn’t be wrong at all. Old Man Kushner would be a member, a branch connected to the Trunk.

          • SoftStarLight February 7, 2021 at 8:26 pm #

            That’s interesting how you said that..Legion has many members but only One Will. I am reminded of the way they invert everything. The idea of a congregation being that of many different wills intentionally joining together as one for the greater purpose of God’s Will. That does explains a lot about why Trump could never really bring himself to mention us in any real way except for a few punches against the status quo like trying to get rid of critical race theory. One time he refered to us as “certain people” and it came across as if laced with half guilt and half helplessness.

    Then we will see , will the virus research go on the back burner again?

    To Y et al, your let ‘er rip process is what has actually happened. Florida and Desantis have shown the way, their trend lines match the areas with the most locked down areas. In spite of all the “science, this pandemic may have just run its course and hit herd immunity.

        Israel is essentially a desert, so mostly sunny days even during the rain season. All the lush greenery you see survives on account of the modern drip irrigation water system it is connected to. If you look carefully, you’ll often see the exposed plastic pipes feeding the trees shrubs flowers, etc.

        Yes, the grey winter dullness and snow you speak of is very draining psychology. I hope the videos are a source of psychological support and an inspiration to strive for something more inviting. Nothing is easy in this world. Everything has a cost. We pay an arm and leg to maintain these urban gardens, nevermind all the wars we fought and suffering endured to maintain our identity and hold on to our little scrap of desert land.

There’s a lot a cynicism, some even by Americans, about the role of the US in the world. Some of it deserved, but not if one understands that the US, like most of the world, is under a foreign occupation of foreign agents serving a foreign agenda.

            Not many people know this, but US air-to-air missiles were complete garbage and because of it US pilots suffered greatly in the Vietnam War. It wasn’t until Israel re-engineered these missiles and developed its own that the air-to-air missiles became reliable.

            Well, Tate, first you have the raw statistics from the Vietnam War itself. The US airforce was severely hemorrhaging pilots and planes. Vietnamese pilots were shooting down US Phantom-F4 planes with machine guns. If the air-to-air missiles were any good, this never should have happened.

            Then you have the raw statistics from the Israeli wars. Israeli pilots were shooting down these same Soviet planes, often secretly piloted by Soviet pilots, only they obviously weren’t using the same garbage missiles, and that’s why the results were completely different.

            The US airforce is now armed with Israeli air-to-air missiles. Google Python missiles.

            Excellent, Vlad, thanks for asking. Israel’s space budget is one millionth that of others. But Israeli satellites are the envy of the world, both in terms of their technological prowess and also because of their small size and small cost. Efficiency paid off.

            Python Version 1 named Shafrir 1 was a disappointment according to Wikipedia. No air combat kills were achieved during the Six-Day war. Shafrir 2 introduced in 1971 was a success but were any purchased in time for Vietnam?

            Links? Sources?

          • akmofo February 7, 2021 at 3:45 pm #

            The almost successful moon landing mission was a private space initiative, Vlad. Young Israeli space engineers backed by a Jewish donor. Although there was a last minute glitch that prevented a landing, what these young Israeli space engineers achieved with their meager budget is a resounding success!

          • akmofo February 7, 2021 at 3:55 pm #

            No Israeli missiles were used in Vietnam. The US only showed interest in Israeli military technology in the 80s. Sales and implementation of the Israeli tech was made in the 90s with the Python-4.

          • akmofo February 7, 2021 at 2:20 pm #

            Bullshit Vatican Jihadistani lies, and you know it very well, Vlad.

            Israel gets its fresh drinking water from desalination plants, a technology it pioneered and now sells worldwide. The water feeding agriculture and urban gardens is recycled waste water. Israel recycles over 90% of its water. The closest other country to do so is Spain with only 15% of its water being recycled.

          • Yohannon February 7, 2021 at 3:21 pm #

            That must take a lot of energy. What kind of energy is Israel using?

            When are you going to give the Palestinians more water? Since you have the sea, they should have everything else.

          • akmofo February 7, 2021 at 3:39 pm #

            Nope, Vlad, not that much energy. That’s the whole point of the Israeli engineered desalination plants.

            The Jihadistanis already use all our infrastructure, from our paved asphalt roads tunnels and bridges, to our rail lines, to our electricity plants and power lines, to our gas lines, to imported gasoline and other imported goods via our sea ports, to international travel via our airports and airlines. Without Israel, Vlad, they would not exist. Their whole labor and job market and their whole existence is dependent on Israel, including our land that they are occupying.

    Greenwald may save journalism all alone

    “Just as the NSA is obsessed with ensuring there be no place on earth where humans can communicate free of their spying eyes and ears, these journalistic hall monitors cannot abide the idea that there can be any place on the internet where people are free to speak in ways they do not approve. Like some creepy informant for a state security apparatus, they spend their days trolling the depths of chat rooms and 4Chan bulletin boards and sub-Reddit threads and private communications apps to find anyone — influential or obscure — who is saying something they believe should be forbidden, and then use the corporate megaphones they did not build and could not have built but have been handed in order to silence and destroy anyone who dissents from the orthodoxies of their corporate managers or challenges their information hegemony.”

    Meanwhile in America, a Great Man works (what the Hero said of Henry Ford).

    I haven’t watched it yet, and Anglin actually found it confusing. He says it focuses on Dominion whereas he think the clearest evidence is the false paper ballots and that should be the focus. But the Title is just his way of saying that Lindell is a very great American, one risking Everything for America. Greater than Trump, obviously. He’s not only lose his personal Twitter, but now My Pillow’s twitter. He may well lose the Company as the Beast refuses to let him advertise anywhere. He don’t care. True Greatness.

    • Tate February 7, 2021 at 4:04 pm #

      I won’t watch it. The election was stolen in three ways:

      1) mail-in voting allowed vote harvesting
      2) massive manipulation of news by social media
      3) polling station irregularities in Dem districts

      Dominion machines may have also stolen votes, but this is unproven so far, & Dominion is suing so let’s see what happens on that score in legal system.

      • Night Owl February 7, 2021 at 4:17 pm #

        It is only unproven because the evidence has yet to be presented in a court of law.

        You also left out the coordinated stoppages and hard video evidence of ballots being delivered by multiple trucks during the stoppage in Detroit.

        Lastly, there was the refusal to let poll watchers enter the counting sites, even when they had court orders in hand.

        Comic levels of fraud, and we only see the tip of the iceberg.

    FTP (F#kk The Police) Street Aktions in DC, BLM/Antifa mobs storming around causing trouble yesterday, stopping traffic and harassing diners … you know the drill by now. Their slogan: Burn this Mthrf#kker Down. “This Mtgef#kkr” apparently means the City of Washington, DC. National Guard troops remain in DC but they were not called into the streets to confront the mobs. Strangely enough, other than Sky News and Fox, this weekend’s activities in DC have not been covered. In fact, they appear to have been ignored.

    Also, it’s interesting these people are in the streets during winter, riots traditionally being a warm weather activity. Not only that, but the original focal point of the mobs discontent, President Trump, is gone. On this particular day the gripes were focused on structural racism, and fascism, that old standby.

    He wants to save the Classics from Whiteness. He’s at Princeton, he’s black, born in the Dominican Republic. His name is Dan-el Padilla Peralta, and he’s pure poison, black poison:

    Over the course of 10 minutes, Padilla laid out an indictment of his field. “If one were intentionally to design a discipline whose institutional organs and gatekeeping protocols were explicitly aimed at disavowing the legitimate status of scholars of color,” he said, “one could not do better than what classics has done.”

    Padilla’s vision of classics’ complicity in systemic injustice is uncompromising, even by the standards of some of his allies. He has condemned the field as “equal parts vampire and cannibal” — a dangerous force that has been used to murder, enslave and subjugate. “He’s on record as saying that he’s not sure the discipline deserves a future,” Denis Feeney, a Latinist at Princeton, told me. Padilla believes that classics is so entangled with white supremacy as to be inseparable from it. “Far from being extrinsic to the study of Greco-Roman antiquity,” he has written, “the production of whiteness turns on closer examination to reside in the very marrows of classics.”

    When Padilla ended his talk, the audience was invited to ask questions. Williams, an independent scholar from California, was one of the first to speak. She rose from her seat in the front row and adjusted a standing microphone that had been placed in the center of the room. “I’ll probably offend all of you,” she began. Rather than kowtowing to criticism, Williams said, “maybe we should start defending our discipline.” She protested that it was imperative to stand up for the classics as the political, literary and philosophical foundation of European and American culture: “It’s Western civilization. It matters because it’s the West.” Hadn’t classics given us the concepts of liberty, equality and democracy?

    One panelist tried to interject, but Williams pressed on, her voice becoming harsh and staccato as the tide in the room moved against her. “I believe in merit. I don’t look at the color of the author.” She pointed a finger in Padilla’s direction. “You may have got your job because you’re Black,” Williams said, “but I would prefer to think you got your job because of merit.”

    Discordant sounds went up from the crowd. Several people stood up from their seats and hovered around Williams at the microphone, seemingly unsure of whether or how to intervene. Padilla was smiling; it was the grimace of someone who, as he told me later, had been expecting something like this all along. At last, Williams ceded the microphone, and Padilla was able to speak. “Here’s what I have to say about the vision of classics that you outlined,” he said. “I want nothing to do with it. I hope the field dies that you’ve outlined, and that it dies as swiftly as possible.”

    Yes, Padilla was smiling, he knows that he’s winning. It is now simply intolerable to defend Whites and the West, and it is now imperative to bow to the blacks and their great achievements even though they hardly exist.

      I can’t say I’d feel any different in his shoes. A Black man specializing in White achievement? How crazy is that? But what you have to wonder is how & why so many aided & abetted the creation of this Freak of Culture? Of course he was going to turn against it!

      • BackRowHeckler February 7, 2021 at 8:19 pm #

        Yep, a Princeton classicist who hates the Classics because “dey be too white”. Its anybody’s guess how this distinguished scholar got hired, haha,

        But he keeps cashing those Princeton paychecks.

        No, this esteemed professor prefers modern classics over the Roman poetry of Catallus, Seneca, Pliny or Juvenal. Cardi B is more to Professor Padilla’s liking:

        Beat it up Nigga

        Extra Large, Extra Hard

        Put this pussy right in your face

        Swipe your nose like a credit card

        Hop on top I wanna ride

        Spit in my mouth look in my eye

        This pussy is wet come take a dive …

    • Yohannon February 7, 2021 at 7:16 pm #

      Kalergi was half Japanese and half Austrian, his Austrian father a Nobleman. Perhaps it was the difficulty of being a mixed breed? Or was it something one of his tribal girlfriends whispered into his ear after coitus? In any case, the bankers loved it, and backed him to the hilt. His book is called “Practical Idealism”. In German. I’ve never heard of an English translation.

      But yes, many of the backers are White. What can I say? We are a flawed race, with not enough ethnocentrism. Our enemies have perceived that, and are using it to end us.

    Was listening to the John Michael Greer interview with our esteemed host after the exhaltative celebration of the Brady person, so quintessentially WASP, he is….which must really piss off the BLM types.

    Anyhoo, forgive my ignorance and Canuckleheadedness, but there came a point in the Greer/JHK interview where the subject of a ‘annointed successor’ to DJT came up. A name or two was tossed out (Cruz), and of course a popular conspiracy theory involves one of the kids, such as Donald Trump Jr. or Invanka, neither of whom I would see as remotely ‘qualified’. In this moment I wondered why Jared Kushner’s name never surfaces in similar conversations or speculative media jibberjab.

    After all, wasn’t he instrumental in the recent, univerally acknowledged Middle East Peace
    treaties between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain?
    That caused me to scratch my head and wonder if there had every been a Jewish President of the USA…forgive me, I don’t know my US history. My good friend GOOGLE provided the response to that question. Kind of shocking when you think about the level of accomplishment.

    That got me to thinking where the Jewish people fit into the issue of ‘Identity Politics”. Surely they could make a great claim on being oppressed, but I never read about it. Exactly who is it that fits into the narrative of ‘white people’? I remember the guy who cuts my hair (family from Lebanon originally) referring one day to me as “you white guys”, and wondering where he felt he fit in as he was very light skinned…

    I guess there is a bit of the old Marine motto of ‘ adapt, improvise, overcome’, that goes a long way to explaining that. Why couldn’t Jared Kushner be your next President, America?

    Help a knucklehead Canadiense understand.

      The media and entrenched bureaucracy that actually runs things will never allow anyone in the Trump family to have a role in politics again. Trump may have a large & loyal following but at a national winning elections level the Trump brand is toxic. There will not be a resurrection.

      And yes, the haters are surely looking for their opening to bring the Brady brand down. Having record setting success while being a photogenic conservative white guy is not the kind of person they want young people looking up to.

    ” How can you not like Captain Kirk? ”

    Both my parents are baby – boomers , both were only – children , both were their parents darlings .

    Does that give you a clue ?

    Probably not.

    So , I’ll point out that by the age of 8 I had already seen enough hyper , to – the – max , emo drama in my life to last a lifetime.

    You could say I not only grew up with a ” Mommie Dearest ” Joan Crawford , but grew up with two Joan Crawford’s in one , as a tag – team.

    Granted , Captain Kirk was approachable , and no matter how excitable , always reasonable and practical in the end.

    Anyway , believe it or not , my first choice never was the captain of the football team.

    Also , as I said , a hundred years after the American Civil War , the TV shows are still all about White slave owners.

    I suppose such a statement is open to broad interpretation , so I will try to elaborate a little.

    The consistent narrative is always about people who live on Country Club Row , drive new cars , have new refrigerators , and that sort of thing.

    The window – dressing or decoration doesn’t really signify , the message is the same.

    For example , Pickett’s charge at Gettysburg lasted about 45 minutes , and the casualties in Pickett’s Division were 2,600 .

    Do you reckon it was 2,600 slave owners run through the buzz saw in 45 minutes ?

    I fucking doubt it.

    But never the less that’s the fucking narrative.

    — The narrative of the very people who claim their heart bleeds for the little guy , no less.

    Another example , Whoopi Goldberg , who played a secondary character in Star Trek The Next Generation.

    She’s Black , female , and was once a single mother on welfare.

    Supposed to be down – to – earth , and common – sensical.

    Well , it looks to me like she was a welfare mother a long fucking time ago.

    And , certainly , nobody is kissing her ass NOW because she is a waitress NOW.

    I have met people whose ancestors literally came over on the Mayflower , and who already had their country club membership at age ten.

    But who do not radiate condescension like she does.

    She is not even talking to me , of course , but the shear snobbery is knocking me back in waves.

    Never mind White Slave owners , and Black slave owners for a moment ,

    It seems to me that women are quite capable of being first class Dicks , and casting the entire world in terms of a dick – measuring contest.

    Now East Germany was a little different . Even rocket scientists and physicians were spoken of as Heroes of LABOR — as if they were waitresses or plumbers , even though they weren’t.

    Certainly I must have inculcated some of that.

    Like , believe it or not , I would still rather have a 1975 Traubant , than the most cutting – edge , up to date Mercedez Benz.

    And on the Starship Enterprise , my eyes naturally seem to wander to the secondary characters.

    ” I suppose the same way you can like England, ”

    I have said the exact opposite .

    If there is any particular or general group I hate , it is the Brits.

    I think we would have beat the French in WW I , and the Russians too . Ultimately it seems to me that the Brits were the cause of so much mischief and misery ,

    and WW II was just the second act of the same show.

    My support of the Loyalists in the American Revolution has little or nothing to do with tastes , or with likes.

    My conclusion is that a merit – based oligarchy is not an improvement on a hereditary oligarchy , but may very well be worse.

    More arbitrary , not less so.

    It’s just a happy coincidence that red coats are prettier , and ” God Save The King ” is a better song.

    ” …love East Germany, but not give a rat’s ass about the White race. ”

    Stalingrad again.

    Between one – third , or two – thirds , of the troops at Stalingrad were Romanian , not German.

    Yeah , ” White ” , sort of.

    For 500 years Romania was the real front line between Christian Europe and the Islamic Middle East.

    And before that , Romania , called Dacia then , was the front line between Rome and God only knows what hordes coming out of the East.

    And for most of human history , rape was not a war crime , it was part of a soldiers benefits package.

    Then there were , albeit token numbers , of the Third Reich equivalent of the Rainbow Coalition.

    Hardcore Spanish Falangists , Moslems who it is hard to figure out , ” Did they hate the Jews , or the British Empire , more ? ”

    Bolshevik – hating Cossacks , Tartars , Kirghis ,

    etc , etc , etc . Etc !

    And if the life expectancy of Germans in Russian captivity were pretty dismal ,

    the prospects of these others were quite simple ; They were kill – on – sight.

    ” As if any old people could have created these nations. As if they’ll still exist once the people are brown and Muslim. ”

    Maybe I’m missing something , but it seems to me that the universal explanation for everything is , ” We had to stop Hitler ! ”

    — And 70 years after Hitler’s death no less

    Anyway , and that seems primarily your own doing too .

    If there were Jews and Blacks and Tibetans in the mix , they were no less a token aid.

    Syrian grade school textbooks say D – Day was a victory for rich white people , and Gettysburg was a victory for rich white people.

    It wasn’t for us , and we had nothing to do with it , and it sounds bonkers to us.

    ( And the Baath party was Axis – aligned back in the day.

    Recall that a part of anti – Iraq propaganda was , and anti – Syrian propaganda is , again , ” We have to stop Hitler ! ” )

    ” What is wrong with Kesa!? ”

    ” if some valley girl was chanting the mantra…”Let’s burn this, like, motherfucker down”. ”

    I thought Valley Girl – speak was absolutely marvelous !

    And , subsequently , I have never , not 40 years later , been able to shake aping it.

    I have wondered vaguely occasionally if anyone who ever reads my writings has ever noticed that I’m still using the Valley Girl guide to writing an essay ?

    I guess not.

    Lol.

    Trabants were the worst car imaginable, gas tank under your feet, made of fiberglass, poured out blue smoke from a 2-stroke engine, hence polluted like crazy

    i.e. the best communism could muster in the way of technology for the masses – after you waited 10-20 years to get one, there being a list to get on

    i~ve seen Trabants with grass sod placed on the roof, with toilets installed, such a joke of a car they were. and US soldiers used to just abandon them after their tour was up, since they only cost USD1,000 or so

    that~s what the biden morons are aiming to take you back to. but keep the mercedes and mansions for them, someone~s got to remind the leftist drones of the misery that capitalism caused
