The Great DOJ Werewolf Hunt

  At long last you know what those plangent cries of Russia! Russia! Russia! ringing across the land signify: America has been turning into Russia, Joe Stalin-vintage, since 2016, just as Lon Chaney turned into a werewolf on-screen back in 1941. Trump Derangement turns out to be an extreme presentation of mass Species Identity disorder, a national altered state that (Wikipedia says): “…typically involves delusions and hallucinations with the transformation only seeming to happen in the mind and behavior of the affected person.”

     Clinical lycanthropy is a very rare condition and is largely considered to be an idiosyncratic expression of a psychotic or dissociative episode caused by another condition such as Dissociative Identity Disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or clinical depression. It has also been associated with drug intoxication and withdrawal, cerebrovascular disease, traumatic brain injury, dementia, delirium, and seizures…. However, there are suggestions that certain neurological conditions and cultural influences may result in the expression of the human-animal transformation theme that defines the condition.”

      So, now we are to have a grand show trial, in the Stalinist mode, of presidential candidate (and werewolf) Donald Trump on charges actually concocted off-site in the Lawfare laboratory of Commissar for Werewolf Activities Andrew Weissmann and sidekick, Brookings Institute fellow Norm Eisen, late counsel to the House Committee that impeached the werewolf with disappointing results over a telephone call to Ukraine in 2019. And, yes, that would be the same Andrew Weissmann who previously (but surreptitiously) led the team of intrepid Lawfare werewolf exorcists fronted by dementia victim Robert Mueller. Mr. Weissmann’s previous two-year-long werewolf hunt was a bust, too, of course. The werewolf slipped off into the moonstruck night to gnaw on Democrat loins again!

     This time Mr. Weissmann’s front-man is federal attorney Jack Smith, new to the werewolf hunting scene, packing a seven-shot indictment of silver bullets, aiming to show America how it’s done. And just in case he misses those shots, he’s got another gun strapped to his ankle chambering silver bullets engraved with “Jan 6” on the slugs. If you think our world has gotten interesting, better buckle into your Big Boy lounger because this werewolf movie is going places like none before.

     You may have noticed the timing of this new werewolf hunt has a near-magical synchronicity with oddly identical circumstances shimmering around the current occupant of the White House — another case of misplaced official papers. Unlike the Donald Trump werewolf hunt, the “Joe Biden” classified-docs-in-a-garage case is moving at the speed of an Amtrak train with a broken Johnson rod stuck on a sidetrack outside Joppatowne, Maryland, in a snowstorm on Christmas Eve. But those purloined classified papers may be the least of “Joe Biden’s” concerns. Why, just the other day a single “whistleblower” document turned up in the House Oversight Committee’s SCIF — a special room for the performance of secret rituals — suggesting that “JB” was on the receiving end of $5 million gratis from some generous soul connected to a Ukrainian natgas company. That payday, for services left murky, when “JB” happened to be Barack Obama’s vice-president, came around the same period as yet other multi-million-dollar gift parcels from China, Russia, and Romania flew into a long list of companies operated by “JB’s” son Hunter, with no known business other than receiving large sums of money and then writing checks to various Biden family members. “Well Sonofabitch…!” as the president himself once said apropos of legal doings in Ukraine.

      You understand, the US Department of Justice — the outfit that employs werewolf hunter Jack Smith — got a hold of that “Joe Biden” Ukraine “whistleblower” receipt a good three years ago, and somehow AG Merrick Garland has been unable to take any action on it since then. It’s been mouldering in some remote FBI file, out of sight and mind until Rep. James Comer (R-KY) subpoenaed it. Apparently, not even the most preliminary inquiry. Nothing to see there. May have been a shortage of federal attorneys not already assigned to the odious Jan 6 “insurrection” incident that so scarily endangered our democracy. Why, they are still rounding up suspects from sea to shining sea for that treasonous caper, so deep, broad, and dark was the conspiracy!

     Springing the werewolf trap on Mr. Trump in the Miami federal district court is sure to intoxicate the, let’s say, thirty percent of the public gripped by lycanthropic hallucinations. You can hear cheers ring out in Santa Monica and the Hamptons today as the “blue” demographic prepares to watch the glorious ordeal of Donald Trump’s legal vivisection. They are forgetting one thing, though: werewolves have powers unknown to mere men who hunt them. Trapping a werewolf is one thing, but holding onto him is another. There are seventeen full moons between now and the next election. A lot can happen, especially among the, let’s say, seventy percent of the public, who disapprove of all this werewolf craziness. The hunters might even find themselves flipped, horrifyingly, into the hunted.

In April, 2023, Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) Kathie Breault was indicted in the Eastern States District Federal Court for “Conspiracy to Defraud the United States” for giving vaccination cards to people who did not receive Covid-19 vaccinations. Her defense is that the vaccinations were ineffective and harmful, and to administer them would violate the Hippocratic oath of health professionals (First do no harm). Her legal battle against a dishonest and vindictive federal government will require lawyer’s fees that exceed her ability to pay — a reminder that “the process is the punishment.”

Kathie has also been accused of “professional misconduct” by the New York State Licensing Board for prescribing Ivermectin via telehealth visits in July 2021. Many other medical practitioners across the United States have been similarly persecuted and some have lost their licenses to practice. Kathie has been under investigation by New York’s Office of Professional Discipline since March 2022. No decision has been reached as of May 2023.

    If this doesn’t work, they still have assassination. Of course, the 70% has revolution…and the guillotine. I wonder if the 1% understands that. Probably not.

    • chopper June 9, 2023 at 9:54 am #

      Its useful to display dead treasonous political leaders for all to see from lamp posts. Therefore, I think hanging them is more appropriate than beheading. However, I am open to other means of accomplishing the same end. We don’t need a consensus to undertake this objective. The clock is ticking. Do you think they hear it?

      • megabeth June 9, 2023 at 9:57 am #

        Let’s take away their rope lines and give all those 1% malefactors processed food, tattoos, and sex-change operations.

      • Cankerpuss June 9, 2023 at 10:55 am #

        Not going to happen. Things just aren’t bad enough yet. There is no reason for the average stupid American to care……yet. It might get to that point but by then the politicians who foisted this mess upon us will be long gone with their money living in the wastes of the Patagonia.

        I have no faith in the majority of the American people. We will sell ourselves into slavery before we rise up in revolt and the filthy Government currently in power has too much power. Look at what they have done to a bunch of people that walked into their Capitol Building after the Capitol Police opened the doors for them. Can you imagine what Leviathan will do when the people start hanging its people from lamp posts?

        Not going to happen. Slavery is coming for all.

        • tuco22 June 9, 2023 at 11:36 am #

          No, by and large, the majority of the lemmings just don’t care about anything other than their needs and wants. Really. I watched them take it up the ass when obummer was president for eight years because they thought it made them less racist, only to discover under Biden that they were racist anyway! I watched them take Bush’s executive order forbidding them to go to Canada to get their prescription drugs without a peep. Better than 60% of them thought Bill Clinton’s sending Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba was a good thing. And I would have thought Biden’s outright admission of his intention to basically eliminate the fossil fuel industry during his debate with Trump would’ve been the kiss of death for him, but the lemmings voted for him anyway! They watched their state democrat governors imprison and then kill their elderly (and in Wisconsin, a mentally handicapped girl) in nursing homes, they watched them allowing antifa and blm rioters burn down their cities and attack and even murder people, and then they turned around the next election and voted for them again. They are perfectly willing to give up any and all of their rights for the illusion of peace and safety. I would say they’re fodder for the slaughter.

          • Cankerpuss June 9, 2023 at 12:10 pm #

            I’m still geeking out about what Americans allowed the Government to do to them during the COVID lie. Millions of people put a filthy face diaper on because some unelected “expert” told them to do so. Not only did they don the diaper they then accosted and mocked those who didn’t wear the diaper. Millions of Americans lined up to get not one, two or three but FOUR shots of a new vaccine for a virus that is essentially a bad cold for healthy people. Not only did they line up for the jab they then accosted and mocked those who didn’t want the jab. Millions of Americans just shuddered their businesses and livelihoods because some fucking elected official with a law degree told them to do so. After COVID I have no faith that Americans will ever rise up against anything.

            Well, check that. Take away their TV, pornography, booze and abortion and they’ll rise up. Just rise up against the wrong people.

            We are so boned. I see no way out of this mess.

          • Jarek June 9, 2023 at 12:33 pm #

            It’s a joke and always has been. My old professor lived in a town with New England Town Hall Democracy. In a town of 20,000 or so, only 13% had any interest whatsoever. And of those, only a few hundred were interested enough to really get involved.

            If people aren’t excluded, they will exclude themselves. Many should be excluded since they aren’t qualified. This might entice so of the indifferent to get involved since it indicates seriousness. Again, exclusion is fine and natural. The trick is to exclude the right people. That means qualifications to vote, testing, etc.

            =========

            From Google, shuttered vs shuddered

            They are homophones. However, ‘shudder’ means to tremble, whereas, ‘shutter’ refers to a kind of panel put on a window in order to increase security and keep out the light.

            But no problem Cank, we knew what you meant.

            When Chomsky was asked about his interactions with Epstein he snarled his first instinct was “None of your business!” It’s still murky what he was doing with him.

          Slavery of another kind arrived 150 years ago, with the Gilded Age of betrayal. Americans have been living under totalitarian democracy for quite awhile now. Our system of government (mutant liberalism) is operationally totalitarian. It’s a Corporate State.

        I prefer something darker and more secretive. Like black magic. Let’s make voodoo dolls of every one of the one-percenters and dip them very slowly into molten metal (so as to prolong the agony). Feet first.

        • Jarek June 9, 2023 at 12:37 pm #

          Does this really work? Can you do it?

          • tuco22 June 9, 2023 at 12:44 pm #

            Yes, it works, but I wouldn’t recommend getting involved in it. Nothing’s free, and the occult exacts a steep price sometimes.

          • Rowdypiglet June 9, 2023 at 1:09 pm #

            Jarek, Some years back I encountered a group of people who were involved in the occult and who would do exactly this sort of thing. Yes, it does work – but the price is high and there’s always a monkey’s paw effect. These people invited evil into their lives and it took over, just as you would expect.

            When I’m tempted to wish ill of someone, I ask St. Michael to deliver justice and I accept that the matter is taken care of by a higher authority.

          • Q. Shtik June 9, 2023 at 2:47 pm #

            Why St. Michael? Why not God himself?

          • Anthea June 9, 2023 at 5:35 pm #

            @ Rowdypiglet:

            The prayer to St. Michael is good for that, among other things.

          • Anthea June 10, 2023 at 2:44 am #

            @ Q. Shtik:

            The reason you address such requests to St. Michael, rather than God, is the same reason why, if you want a birthday cake, you don’t generally ask God for one. You ask a baker.

            Some beings (and people) have a specific role in the work of creation. You have one yourself.

        • abbybwood June 9, 2023 at 1:09 pm #

          • Rowdypiglet June 9, 2023 at 4:04 pm #

            Q, God is very busy with more important issues than mine. I come from a lapsed Catholic family where we lost most of the dogma, but we were all raised to ask particular saints to intercede for us. I won’t go into details here, because you might conclude that I’m demented, but I’ve personally experienced responses to my requests for intercession that are as close to literally impossible as could be imagined. I can actually document several of these in specifically material ways, but I don’t discuss them outside of my immediate family and husband. It isn’t possible to give one’s experiences to other people, and I’m not inclined to proselytize; we all believe as we see fit and in accordance with (mostly subjective) experience. That’s fine with me.

            And Jarek, yes – you need something personal but there are ways around that. I won’t go into them. I’ll just say that I’ve seen this kind of thing work misery on people who had no idea they were being targeted.

        • Vegan Shark June 9, 2023 at 3:56 pm #

          What a fantastic business opportunity! In the US of A half the population hates the other half but are too lazy or cowardly to do anything about it. But buying a voodoo doll of the Enemy— perfect. How many million Joe Biden dolls could you sell if they all produced a yellow stream running down from inside their pant leg upon the command, “Trust Me”. Or Hunter Dolls in one of the multiple types of inebriation explored by “the smartest person I’ve ever known”.

          For TrumpHaters the base model could have orange hair that bursts into flame upon the command “You’re Fired!”

          The opportunities for an up sell are endless. For example, vials of chicken blood blessed by a genuine Haitian witch doctor that turns your doll into a live WMD. You could sell tens of thousands at $100 per ounce.

        It is conjectured that, they want to offer Trump a plea deal that includes precluding him from running for president. I was given to undeerstand that there is nothing in the constitution that forbids anyone from running for president who is under criminal indictment, or one who is convicted and imprisoned from serving in that capacity. We could have our very own Zaphod Bebelbrox. How entertaining.

            In certain instances they used to leave the dead hanging in a prominent place to rot as object lessons. Heads were displayed on pikes. In Japan they had fancy viewing stands for that purpose. In England, commoners who were traitors got the William Wallace treatment–hanged, drawn, and quartered. The four parts of the body carried to various locations for display so that as many as possible could see the grisly wages for such a crime.

            I’ve nothing against sending them on tour round all our cities and towns to be gawped at in a cage, though. They want to make privacy a thing of the past for us, so it would be good to see them watched close up by the hoi polloi like zoo animals for a while.

            You need to pay attention to what people actually say, Jarek. Yes, I know it’s painful, when what you want to do is respond to the point you want them to have made and not to the one they actually made.

            Vegan Shark, as far as I can see, didn’t say anything against capital punishment. S/he may or may not be for it, but his/her view on it isn’t in those two comments. What is in those two comments, as in mine, was a rejection of barbarism and torture.

            If VS said something about capital punishment somewhere else (I haven’t checked) that’s a different matter.

      When I was fired as high school baseball coach, I got two of my players to smash the principal’s windshield with baseball bats. It was sad when they went to reform school, but I was not arrested, nor should I have been, since I did nothing wrong. I was arrested, however, when they got a search warrant and found bats, balls, and catcher’s gear in my garage. School property, my ass. I was the coach! That equipment was mine! Eventually, I was forced to pay a five-figure fine, but what really got my goat was the fact that the elitists had won. Now, thanks to your blog, I can finally put things into perspective. I was a werewolf, just like you said.

          I thought to myself, thank God, these people have finally gotten the message. Once inside, however, I noticed a half dozen signs taped on walls and glass doors stating that face masks were required to be worn at all times. Go figure.

Where their “news” show from 6:30 to 7 cannot go more than a minute without an advertisement from big pharma telling boobus watchers to go ask their doctor about this and that pharma poison.

To have a mindless show interrupted by mindless disingenuous talking heads was infuriating. Oh yeah, not one mention of old Joe’s issues either.

          Women, real women I mean, had better start getting their heads screwed on right. Men aren’t being endangered by this madness. Our women are. Where are the women’s rights activists? Where are the pussy hat wearers? Where are the feminists?

          Silence.

          Corrupt and perverted men are taking their revenge from what the feminist revolution has done to them. Women need to step up to the plate and play a hard game. They need to stop sleeping with every man that will have her, demand more of their men, stop aborting (murdering) their own offspring, and re-establish the title of “gate-keepers of morality.”

          Men are pigs, always have been, always will be. Things, it seems, really started falling apart when the women started becoming pigs too.

            Once contempt for men is an established doctrine, women will treat men like pigs and in so doing, become pigs themselves.

            And do you think being treated this way by women helps male character?

            You need to do a lot of rethinking.

            The only worse thing than male rule is female rule. Take care of men (and that mostly means getting out of their way), and they’ll take care of women. Take care of women, and men will die under bridges. The two just aren’t the same. One is meant to lead and the other to follow.

          • Rowdypiglet June 9, 2023 at 1:36 pm #

            I dimly remember, at the beginning of feminism, that there was condemnation of pornography as something that demeaned and debased women, and corrupted the men who consumed it. I (stupidly) believed that we were at the beginning of an era that would see both women and men raised up out of the gutter to a higher standard of behavior. I was young enough then to think it was possible to tweak human behavior more than I do at present.

            Like other developments that I failed to foresee, I wouldn’t have believed that women, instead of embracing this idea, would come to view the selling of their own bodies as liberation. The mere thought of any standards at all is anathema to most young women now, who pass themselves around like trays of hors d’oeuvres. They lead pitiful lives, and can envision nothing better. It’s even worse when they bring children into it, with the endless parade of frequently abusive boyfriends through the household.

            The point is that, when women had a real chance to change the zeitgeist, they changed it very much for the worse. Watching that process, and not just in the area of sexual morality, has informed my long growing sense that women and men have natural spheres of influence and should, for the most part, remain within them. Yes, when men run things, they’re often run badly. When women run a household, some are clean and beautiful places of refuge and others are filthy slums. But I still maintain that men do the best job at running the things that traditionally belong to them, and women likewise.

            Sure, it makes all sorts of sense that women “chose” what the PTB decided to do with feminism, beginning in the 1960s using sudden stars like Gloria Steinem, who was a CIA Asset (not a secret).

            Paula D has explained before, many times, in detail, how the same manipulations that are behind the trans agenda were used on women decades before. You guys don’t listen, or care to.

            Many of us make the point that the current cultural insanity has been engineered at the top, but for some reason women are still the architects of it all, women with no power, who are getting the short end of the stick, according to your stellar logic.

            You accept that men have been wronged by the PTB, children have been targeted, but when it comes to women, we somehow chose or engineered it.

            Misogyny in action. Especially disappointing to see handmaidens jumping on the bandwagon.

            I’m reading a book by Mary Harrington Feminism Against Progress that might interest you all. She’s no dummy and admits she completely bought in to it until she had a baby and saw how distorted and manipulated the role of women had become. How trapped by all this “freedom” — freedom to participate in the workforce–has dissolved ties to men, family, kids and melted in the icy waters of competion and conformity.

            Ground zero was the Pill with back up of abortion if that failed. Her premise is the winners in this are elite women who can access the freedom from domestic responsibilities and even pregnancy with surrogacy. She flat out states : we’ve been lied to.

            @ Cankerpuss:

            To insist that women must be “the gate-keepers of morality” is one of many examples of men abdicating from any responsibility and thus any claim to authority.

            This is exactly what gave rise to the feminism that some here are always bitching about. Women were forced to assume most social and economic responsibility, because the men simply refused to accept responsibility.

            If “men are pigs,” women are forced to be the swineherds.

            Now, I don’t know whether men are, by nature, pigs or not. Maybe they behaved better in the past. The thing is, if you’re going to be a pig, you’re going to be viewed with contempt. If you shirk your responsibilities to others, you will be viewed with contempt.

            I think too that, when women are promiscuous, it is for precisely that reason: They view men with contempt and don’t consider ANY of them to be good prospects for a life partner. Hence, there is no reason get attached to them or to be chaste in the expectation that a good one will turn up eventually.

            I mentioned awhile back that the Church teaches that men have the PRIMARY responsibility for upholding sexual morality.

          • Anthea June 9, 2023 at 11:48 pm #

            @ SW:

            Feminism was never about benefitting women, any more than the Civil Rights movement was about benefitting blacks, or MADD (Mothers Agaist Drunk Drivers) was about getting drunks off the road, or transsexualism is about affirming people’s authentic gender (or whatever it is).

            All these supposed “movements” were and are just “ops.” They were NEVER grassroots movements. They were calculated to have some grassroots appeal, based on some identified grievance of some group–often a legitimate grievance. The government identified the grievance and designed the “op” around it. The legitimacy of the grievance assured wide support–well, except for trannies, anyway.

            It’s wise to assume that ANYTHING that is being sold to you as a “movement” is really a government op.

            That goes for those “men’s movements” too, by the way. I am especially amused by MGTOW. In the first place, they aren’t GTOW, or women would be able to walk down the street in peace. In the second place, their idea that women are interested in them is fanciful.

            Oh and Rowdy, the radical feminists – an actual group with definitions and everything – totally fight porn and even surrogacy. And so do conservative women groups, who have also been standing up against men in women’s sports, and actually making headway.

            Anthea: Yes, men are given jurisdiction and women must submit to that in a general way – and a particular way in regards to their husband. You are right!

            Of course being a rebel, you hate that and you do believe men are pigs – your justification for rebellion.

            Augustine: You don’t have to obey him if he is terribly wrong and/or trying to get you to sin.

            Many servants and slave attain unto sanctity while their masters fare far worse. To be a good master or boss if beyond most as C.S Lewis said. One good reason for a somewhat more egalitarian society. Pray for men that they fulfill their social dharma well. Women obviously don’t want to accept any responsibility so men must – as God intended. Like the rest, you project you absolute rejection of responsibility on to men as a way of attack.

            Christ could have called women to be priestesses. He was surrounded by holy women his entire life. But He called men instead.

          • Anthea June 11, 2023 at 4:33 pm #

            @ Jarek:

            Men have refused to accept any social, moral, or financial responsibiity for decades. Feminism most arose because women were forced to assume all responsibility for everything. Thus women deemed it proper that they should be compensated in a manner appropriate to a person who has assumed greater responsibility. (Actually ALL resposibility.) And since responsibility is what confers authority, women deemed it only proper that they be granted authority, and, where men were involved, with authority over less responsible men.

            That’s the way that works.

            If men want authority over women, they must assume greater responsibility than women. But, since we don’t see any sign of that, we must assume that men will not ascend to the role of a patriarch any time soom.

          You are very quick to use the word “idiot” towards anyone who doesn’t reach the same conclusions that you have, and inevitably claim they could not have looked at all the many links you have posted. If they had, they certainly would agree with you 100 percent! How could it be otherwise?

          I haven’t skipped the links in question, have read and understood them (and many others), and have evaluated them according to my own logic and perceptions.

      Not sure they can uncover all the dirt and potential Biden treason, even if they are actually trying. For instance, since everyone with half a brain knows the Biden’s are bribe takers, what amount of money changing hands would result in the cartels being given control of our Southern border? The Biden mafia does nothing for country, but everything for bribes, and the open border should have been good for 10’s or even 100’s of $millions since the cartels are making $billions. If we had an honest and ethical justice department, there is a good likelihood that China/cartel Joe and other Biden’s would be on trial for treason. As things now stand, we have an Injustice Department and the Federal Bureau of Insurrection, hellbent on persecuting American citizens like Catholics, Republicans, conservatives, etc., as they shred the Constitution. Justice is dead, and the Constitution is near death as we follow the Chinese dictates.

Nevertheless I believe if I had the perfect and total knowledge of God I would conclude the whole thing is a “nothingburger” concocted by the Dems for purely political purposes.

        this whole case against Trump for his alleged carrying off with certain classified documents. – Q.

        ============

        There is an amusing photo in today’s NYT of the boxes of classified documents stacked against the walls of a bath room at his Mar a Lago residence in Florida. What makes it amusing is a large crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Nothing but the best for “the Donald” while taking a dump.

      I am of the opinion that the best adjective for DJT is hapless.

      The guy can’t cross the street without getting impeached, can’t get clear evidence of voter/election fraud heard in the supreme court where he nominated 2 of the “justices” and can’t keep the FBI out of his wife’s underwear drawer.

      • Cankerpuss June 9, 2023 at 11:08 am #

        I’ve been a long time admirer of DJT. That doesn’t mean I agree with or like him. I just admire him. He’s a man. Love him or hate him, he’s a man and he is not shy about it.

        At this point I wish DJT would just move to the private island he bought in the Atlantic and spend the rest of his days sipping martinis and enjoying his precious grand children. He has become a liability and ultimately, I believe, will result in his unfortunate assassination or mysterious death.

        DJT will never sit in the White House again. Everyone who reads JHK knows this. The system is so corrupted and full of fraud that the Democrats will never permit DJT to rule again. He’ll be dead before that happens.

        Like I said, I admire the man. But, it’s time for him to just go away.

        I grew up loving my Country. I really am embarrassed by it now. What a pathetic display America has become. I still love the idea of the USA but I am embarrassed by what Americans have let it become.

    Just curious, is there anything in the constitution to prevent Trump from becoming president if he’s convicted. I know if he faces Jan 6th related charges the answer is no, but on the current one I believe he can. I can just picture it, the Don as the Don running the syndicate out of the joint. Just a perfect picture of the country right before it goes tits up.

    • Cankerpuss June 9, 2023 at 11:11 am #

      In the Constitution? No. All he needs to qualify is to be 35 years of age and a native born citizen. Of course the truth is the PTB have already picked our next President. They just haven’t revealed that individual to us yet. Personally, I’m betting on Michelle Obama.

      • tuco22 June 9, 2023 at 11:52 am #

        Yes, I believe this, too. Around the time of Bush II’s first election, I came across a site one day called Exegesis, which had an article referencing an earlier article written in 1997 predicting that Bush II would be the next president and why. That’s when I realized our presidents were selected and not elected. So I fully agree with your sentiment that the next president has already been picked, and it sure as hell isn’t going to be somebody white or even necessarily male.

      In Ct., attending Pride Celebrations across the state has become a full time job for our Congressmen & Senators. Every town, city, village & hamlet has gotten in on the act and Dem attendance is mandatory. There were so many Pols in this towns Pride Celebration last weekend that the Pols, along with news crews reporting the event, outnumbered actual celebrants. Apparently, there just aren’t enough LBGQ members to go around. They’re spread pretty thin with all these events to go to. Last week in Greenwich all hell broke loose when some cad hung a sign that read ‘Groomers’ near where a Pride Parade was scheduled; as you can well imagine there was outrage at this blatant display of intolerance ~ clearly, a hate crime had been committed —Speech after all is Violence — and according to the mayor, chief of police and the governor himself, no stone would go unturned hunting down the ‘White Supremacist’ who posted that display of hate.

      That’s where we stand now, but I expect Pride Celebrations to quiet down a little as the govt & media apparatus ramps up for Juneteenth. Its gonna be big.

            There are only a few worth keeping and they’re not enough to have any real influence. The debt ceiling deal showed once again the uni-party is in control.

            The only way to stay even slightly solvent is to print more money (inflation) or tax the hell out of us so only the rich can afford to maintain their standard of living. A country where 50% of its’ citizens are one paycheck from disaster should be paying attention to this instead of adding more and more debt.

    The situation we have in this Country is a true slap in the face to all Veterans! My Republican Federal Representative hides under his desk while the Country burns. His major accomplishment to date is renaming a post office in my town after a Civil War Veteran. He loves Kevin McCarthy, another worthless RINO. He’s just another poor excuse who represents the Republican Party. I think it’s time that the Republicans get off their ass and IMPEACH the Biden Regime. Supporting Trump may be an issue for them, but they have no excuse for the blatant disrespect for the rule of law.

      ” I think it’s time that the Republicans get off their ass and IMPEACH the Biden Regime.”

      I’m sorry my friend, it’s time for you to get off the Republican band wagon. How many times are you going to allow the Republican scum to betray you and still give unto them your hopes and support? The evidence is there. The Republicans are either part of the uni-party, or, they are cowards and are useless. Either way, Republicans are not the answer.

      I don’t know what the answers are. Revolution won’t do any good, the people are too polarized and cannot unite.

          Not saying it can’t be done, just saying it’s very, very hard.

          And the Evil Ones know this: You can always get people to dance like puppets if you threaten their children.

          @ tuco22:

          I still wonder if there are places where it could be done. E.g., I think it could be done in the rural area where I live–though there might be quite a bit of sacrifice involved. A lot of people have corporate jobs “up in the city.” And I suppose there must be a lot of people with a lot of debt. Every time I look at houses on realtor.com, most of them are over half-a-million with a small acreage, or a million or two with a somewhat larger acreage.

          I think that, in this county, there is a reasonable chance that the police and governing bodies would refuse to enforce any “woke” stuff, or any laws that are unconstitutional.

          To really effectively throw off the government yoke, you’d have to just about turn Amish, or something close to it.

            @ ryan1327:

            Nevertheless, the Amish, Mennonites, and some other sects have succeeded at this.

            Unfortunately (I guess), the withdrawal from and rejection of the larger society needs to be very uncompromising: no cars, no TV, no electronics, and scarcely any modern conveniences.

            There are quite a few varieties of Amish, Mennonites, and others, and their flexibility on these matters is variable. E.g., most Amish stores have refrigerator sections, or at least some refrigerated items. I think some sects allow occasional car transportation. (Some of them come to the farmers’ markets in cars.) If you want information on the produce auction in Windsor, Missouri, you can call the Amish manager on the phone. I think they may even have a website.

            People I know who are fairly familiar with the Amish tell me that they are far more dependent on the “English” world than is generally believed. One way you know that you are driving past an Amish farm is because every Amish farm has a little farm store near the house. Quite a bit of the stuff they are selling is not products made on the farm: yard goods, sewing notions, canning jars, kitchen appliances, and kitchen ware of various kinds. You can buy a non-electric blender at Amish stores; it is hand-cranked.

            Once a particularly silly woman posted on our community page that we should beware to the Amish scammers, because they don’t really make all that stuff they sell. I replied laconically that, “Yes, the Amish are guilty of buying at wholesale and selling at retail.” This means that there is considerable dependence on the non-Amish world.

            But to return to my point: I don’t think there’s any way to turn this thing around without an almost complete rejection of the modern world.

            Where this is not practical (which it’s not for most of us), start building the kind of world you’d like to have, in your own small sphere.

            For example: I grew up in a small town that was in many ways idyllic, but there were a lot of problem behaviors among many of the adults, and a lot of the kids went wrong, to a greater or lesser degree. There wasn’t any real community, and there was just about zero moral foundation or religious faith. Nobody checked on the elderly couple who lived across the street. Nobody organized a “food train” when Lucille’s husband blew his brains out behind the Red Dog Saloon. When Melba was observed sitting in her car for four hours after she got home from work, nobody checked on her or offered to help her. (She had leukemia.) Nobody considered working out a plan to help her with her household and her two kids. When they guy over on the next block (practically in our back yard) beat his kids, nobody gave it much thought or considered that they might be able to do something. The widower and the other widow on the block were also entirely on their own.

            So when I say you should do something in your small sphere, what I mean is, YOU shoud step up and offer to help. YOU should get with the neighbors and organize a food train for the bereaved widow, widower, or new mom. I think that if just one person starts doing things like this–checking on the elderly, picking up groceries for the sick, giving rides to people with no cars, etc.–other people will follow suit, even if you don’t get “organized.”

            I seriously believe that this is the way you turn the world around.

        Generations of Lineage Americans fought for the International Bankers. Now the Bankers are coming for them, and what little they have left. And they don’t need them anymore to fight – though it would be sweet to watch White Americans kill White Americans at their behest. But they have the new people to do it.

    The people who run the country must be a little shocked by the backlash to several of their recent stunts like promoting gay stuff to kids (Target’s stock fell thru the floor) Bud Light’s manically grinning trans (stocks fell thru the floor) and overall people not quite as sheeplike as they’d counted on. They thought they’d had them beaten down with Covid, high inflation and 1/6 horror stories but they’re proving to be a stubborn bunch.

    So time for another Trump indictment and perhaps release a few more pictures of Hunter, sort of confirm space aliens are real, act like smoke in NY is a national emergency (handled masterfully by the mayor) and other stuff.

      The fires set in Canada are also to scare folks into climate change catastrophe mind-set, which will allow the PTB permission for massive lockdowns. Wait for it.

      This is the big move, it’s all or nothing.

      • SW June 9, 2023 at 11:18 am #

        Climate change hysteria will be ratcheted up and soon school shootings will be blamed on it (unless of course the shooter is a protected victim). My kids are firm believers in the coming climate catastrophe and they’re no where near as rabid as their friends. And conflicting evidence is met with the accusation that I’m a “climate denier” which is only a small notch over pedophile.

        I’ve tried to tell them terrible things are going to be done in the name of “saving the planet” (like 15 minute cities, fake food, micromanaging our lives thru technology) but b/c their lives haven’t been impacted yet, this falls on deaf ears. It took three years for them to acknowledge covid was overblown and the controls used were tyrannical. This is going to be a much harder sell for them to open their eyes.

        • tuco22 June 9, 2023 at 12:06 pm #

          Yes, I’ve already read of a few shootings where when the shooter didn’t fit the narrative, they shifted the focus on the guns, namely, the Uvalde shooter, for one.

        • Beryl of Oyl June 9, 2023 at 12:34 pm #

          Speaking of kids, I heard third-hand from a kindergarten teacher who says the kids, who were three when the covid “restrictions” were put in place, do not have the requisite skills for success in school.

          Things like knowing how to hold a pencil.

          We retarded a whole generation.

          It was bad enough that so many young women today grew up believing that if they threw something in the garbage instead of recycling it they personally were contributing to the death of the planet.

          Imagine all the kids who were told they might kiss their grandmother and it would kill her?

          Not enough therapy in the world to salvage these people.

          • tuco22 June 9, 2023 at 12:53 pm #

            I believe this is because they were never intended to be thinking voting productive adults. I believe they’re fodder for the slaughter. There is simply no other reason to so blatantly ignore the abysmal education our kids receive for so much money. This goes for their totally ignoring black literacy rates in the public school system, nationwide. I haven’t seen the Biden administration address this at all, being too focused on white supremacy to do so. There is no concern over their lack of education because they’re not intended to become productive members of society.

        • Rowdypiglet June 9, 2023 at 12:38 pm #

          SW, I think you’re seeing the end result of having failed to teach your children how to think. I don’t blame you for that; the failure belongs to all of us.

          We’ve produced more than one generation that is unaware of fundamental concepts of logic, cannot construct an argument or recognize when they encounter one, possesses nothing remotely like an idea about anything, and has never been challenged or required to defend their idiotic, internally contradictory ideologies.

          In short, they’ve been allowed to grow up entirely without an education, kind of like Topsy, but with a thick layer of indoctrination effectively preventing any information from getting through. When you combine their ignorance about what they don’t know with their ideological possession, it’s downright frightening. Just watch them respond to every statement of provable fact with “trans women are women!”

          I don’t believe most of these will survive what is coming. They’re too spoiled and too stupid. A dose of real life will wake up a small percentage, but not many. For those who have children who are still malleable, the best gift you can give them is to challenge every stupid idea they parrot, make them defend it or surrender it. Teach them to think while it’s still possible.

          • tuco22 June 9, 2023 at 12:56 pm #

            That’s what Yuri Bezmenov said. He said no amount of facts will get through the indoctrination. He said even if you took them physically to the camps in the gulag, they still wouldn’t believe you. I think that’s what Biden was referring to when he said, “We choose truth over facts!”

          • SW June 9, 2023 at 1:09 pm #

            Believe me, Rowdy, I’ve asked myself many a time where did I go wrong? These are well educated adults who believe Russia invaded Ukraine unprovoked, blew up Nordstream, recycling plastic works, Trump ruined the country (and said he liked raping women) and, worst of all, the good times will never quit rolling.

            The power of propaganda, the sheer constant repeating of lies by “experts” (whom they were taught to believe) and sharing these beliefs with peers has made the climate hoax all but intractable. I believed for a long time this was based in solid science until I started reading more about how these “models” were set up.

            Will they and millions like them adapt when the freedom they have taken for granted is curtailed in their own lives? They’ll have no choice. They’ve seen the light on covid so we’ll see.

            SW – The power of propaganda, the sheer constant repeating of lies by “experts” (whom they were taught to believe)…

            Exactly.

            Exercise: Read three or four (only) major newspapers cover-to-cover and watch only mainstream TV for one day (I know, oof, but hey, it’s an exercise). Keep a pencil and ticker count on a piece of paper. How many times will you encounter a statement like “Diversity is our strength”, stated as an unchallenged historical fact? Most would be surprised. We’re being peppered constantly. That might begin to open up the eyes of even half-indoctrinated kids (?).

            Same goes for the “climate crisis”. An article about lawn care, a cold weather snap, a hot air balloon ride, or a pizza restaurant opening in town will almost invariably include at least some reference to climate change, even though it’s not warranted in any conceivable way.

            The more they say something (and get away with it), the more I shake my head for what the kids of today will believe to be true in 5-15 years, depending on their current age.

            I read the other day about a school that withdrew their “pride parade” plans. That was met with hysteria that the school was “trying to kill the traditions in the LGWHATNOT community”…Um, a couple years of forced acceptance is not in any way a tradition, geniuses…but in 15 years, it will be a very different story indeed, if allowed to carry manufactured weight for that long.

          • SW June 9, 2023 at 8:10 pm #

            Mr. Mango — You make valid points. Nazis understood the value of repeating a lie over and over by “authorities” to drill into peoples head’s whatever nonsense they wanted there. The climate indoctrination began 20 years ago and coupled with guilt, will be a perfect tool to extract obedience. Want a hamburger? Killing endangered species. Drive a gas car or own a gas stove/heater? Same. Want to put on a backpack and see the world? Same.

            Yet there’s never any discussion about turning off the electricity at 2am till 6am is there? Or any measures that would actually reduce energy use. Prince Whatshisname in Saudi Arabia figured this out and he’s a force to be reckoned with. Keep your eye on this guy.

        The fires in Canada are certainly questionable in origin.

        However, the many fires which all started *at the exact same instant* in Quebec; said fires also being the ones most effecting the air quality [“Hazardous”] throughout the Mid-Atlantic states, are resultant of the utilization of space-based Direct Energy Weapons (DEW).

        The evidence of such is incontrovertible.

      Can you imagine what would happen if every taxpayer just started refusing to pay their taxes? They can’t jail hundreds of millions of Americans. Unfortunately, we are all afraid. Why? Because we are all in debt, slaves to our mortgage, auto loan and credit card payments.

        Canker, you are making this a lot more complicated than need be. All taxpayers need to do is to remove all tv sets from their homes, set them outside on the curbs, and then smash them all with hammers. Be good citizens and taxpayers and don’t leave a mess of broken parts and plastic there, but smash the thing beyond repair. And leave it in one piece so it can be disposed off easily.

        That tv is the mechanical beast spoken of in the Book of Revelation. An image of the beast that has life and speaks, and it has everyone’s undivided attention. Undivided attention and total focus is what worship is all about. You are writing about starving the beast. That’s a very difficult and long and drawn out process. The most simple way is to take the beast out to the curb like you do with junk lawnmowers and old couches on the days of the month when the city truck comes around and picks that crap up. But just don’t leave a living beast out there that someone can take and plug in again somewhere else. Take a big fucking hammer with you and make sure its dead after you have it out there on the curb. Killing one of these beasts indoors can be messy and possibly cause damage inside. And don’t even think of doing this……
        be safe out there.

          I’ve always seen a resemblance between “the second beast” and TV: “The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak….”

          Also, the image of the “second beast” as having “two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon” puts me in mind of the TV set of former times, with its rabbit-ear antennae. I suppose it could refer to all broadcast and social media. The “second beast” seems to be the public information systems through which the purposes of the “first beast” are promulgated.

          Carrying this a little further, maybe the dragon who gives its power to the first beast is Satan, and the first beast–with 7 heads and 10 crowns–is the nations fo the earth (maybe the nations united into the form of one beast?).

Of course, the chances of something like this happening, even on a small scale, are rather remote. There are probably few people who would be willing to make the required sacrifices–and not many who could afford to buy land and take up farming.

      I had been thinking that about him myself, but it didn’t seem as if that could be so, that someone who has lived the life he has could be naive.

      I am not questioning his belief or disbelief in UFOs (well yes I am but not right at this moment).

      The problem I’m having here is with what he says to back it up:

          Today’s Astronomy Picture of the Day of the day is simply incredible. It is titled Pandora’s Cluster of Galaxies. The cluster is said to be 3.5 BILLION light years away. Yes, I said BILLION with a B.

          Even the Andromeda Galaxy which is the nearest galaxy visible with the naked eye as just a fuzzy little blip is 2.5 Million light years distant. Think about that. The light we are seeing today left Andromeda 2.5 million years ago and has just now arrived.

          My point is this: I will never accept that we have been visited by UFOs unless it is proved irrefutably that light, at 186,000 miles per second is NOT the fastest thing in the universe. We would need something perhaps a million times faster than light.

            Why didn’t God create a normal universe? Instead there is all this wierdness going on and there are people claiming they’ve encountered disembodied intelligences. In school the materialist teachers will leave almost all students brainwashed with the notion that without an extremely complicated biological mechanism supporting it, that self consciousness or thinking is impossible. That intelligence is impossible with no mechanism of some sort involved. Artificial intelligence still requires energy and a mechanical apparatus to keep it “alive”. People will think you are mentally off balance for having any views different from this.

            If this universe had been made to work as normal universes everywhere else are, we wouldn’t be having these discussions about demons and little green men. I suppose God thinks this is funny? He’s got a sense of humor?

            People should probably quit thinking of “God” as a man (or woman, or non-binary changeling) up in the sky. I think that would clear up a lot of misconceptions.

            David Gelernter, probably David Gelernter’s choice for “World’s Smartest Man/Person”: “There is no God. No perfect God would create the shitty world we live in.” (Paraphrased…) Yup, “God” is just an older David Gelernter kicking back on some cumulus with angels singing His praises… No wonder Ted Kaczynski disliked him – ok, tried to kill him. I like Ted more all the time – but don’t try to kill someone just because he’s a dipshit. Shame on you Ted’s brother.

            Yes, ‘Stick, re: aliens and the speed of light. And… they look like us. Really?
            How coincidental… Also the chain of highly improbably events occurring at just the right time to allow us to “evolve” into our current position.

            The obvious answer: a cosmic mindfuck.

        Yeah Beryl, but those of us here are in the high IQ choir.
        Consider the state of mind of the Gen-pop these days… addled by fluoride, estrogen mimics, social media, porn … struggling to pay bills, – all designed to keep their minds off the reality of the situation, so far behind the curve that those in the know must engage in ‘soft disclosure’ – the truth in digestible bits. Even then, most are too emasculated to take any kind of action beyond voting. Still we must try. As Lincoln said, “the probability of failure must not deter us from support of a cause we deem to be just.”

        He could be trying to work the herd.

        In fact, if trying to mainstream conspiracy ideas, I would say he is taking a smart approach.

        This quote suggests that:

        “The information originated from a highly decorated intelligence agency official who was part of a Navy Task Force. Other former intelligence officials corroborate what he says. “Conspiracy theory” is a lazy response that refuses to look at the information on its own merits”

        But yes, the appeal to authority is quite risky (and an Arguments 101 fallacy), and opens him up to all kinds of easy punches from the globalist parasite class.

    Lycanthropy, a word I have not heard or read since I discovered the book ” Man is the Prey ” James Frederick Clarke 1969. . I highly recommend it. You won’t believe the tales in this book. The Man-Eaters of Tsavo,lions, The Champawat Tiger, ate 440 people, The Leopard of Rudraprayag. wow. Wolves in western Russia during the Holodomor. Brutal stories. .

      Redit. Don’t forget the Leopard Men of East Africa either. Why should people only turn into wolves?

      Predators often turn man eaters when old or injured and unable to catch herbivores. St Francis severely chastised the Wolf of Gubbio and the wolf stopped eating people. The people fed him until his natural death.

      • Rowdypiglet June 9, 2023 at 1:55 pm #

        I highly recommend “The Werewolf in Lore and Legend” by Montague Summers, one of the most delightful eccentrics ever to baffle and bewitch his contemporaries. Read this as a kid and then wolfed down all of the rest of his weird and wondrous books.

        • Jarek June 9, 2023 at 2:24 pm #

          i’ve always meant to tackle him! Maybe I don’t have to because you already have.

          Btw, does he ever mention “The Wine of Fauns”, the ultimate drug? See Machen’s, The Great God Pan if you don’t know.

          W.E Butler said that the authorities – and behind them the Brotherhood of Light – went to extraordinary efforts to destroy Witchcraft Cult for this reason, not because of dancing around Maypoles and having a bit of nooky.

          Of course the Puritans and others were extreme against the latter as well, but Butler believed that a deeper struggle was taking place – and would again if the recipe was revealed again.

          • Rowdypiglet June 9, 2023 at 4:32 pm #

            You should read him, Jarek, even though I have already done so! I place him in the box with genuine oddities like the Sitwells, where they would be a bit lonely without him. I recall mention of fauns in his translation of the Malleus Maleficarum. It’s been a while since I read The Great God Pan, so I’ll have to revisit, but I’ve lately been reading Machen’s autobiographies in which he rambles around odd corners of London and sees them through his peculiar lens. I’m a sucker for armchair travel of that particular kind.

        the Wolf of Gubbio – Jar

        ========

        Oh for Christ’s sake Jar, wise up! The Wolf of Gubbio didn’t stop eating people because of St Francis’s chastisement but more likely because he had an upset stomach or a decayed tooth that was killing him. Occam’s razor.

        The stuff you believe………WOW, just WOW!

        • Anthea June 10, 2023 at 12:53 am #

          The Wolf of Gubbio is one of many old legends about St. Francis. Supposedly, the villagers started feeding the wolf (if I remember right) and kind of made a pet of him. This caused him to stop eating people. I don’t know if that would work or not.

          • MaryQueen June 10, 2023 at 10:16 am #

            It probably would and actually that’s the story of how wolves became domesticated dogs.

            Wolves are smart, and they don’t fight or attack if they have another source of sustenance. So if people provided that, guess what? No need to eat the peeps.

            ==========

            The legend you cite has an air of believability except for the fact that St. Francis lived around 1200 AD while wolves became domesticated about 130,000 years ago according to Google.

          • Anthea June 10, 2023 at 2:32 pm #

            Humans are also not the preferred prey of wolves. Most predators don’t care for the way we taste. A wolf that attacks a human is probably doing so because age and infirmity have forced him to go after slower, weaker prey. He’s too old to catch and kill a deer, for example.

            Maybe packs of wolves would attack humans if they were starving and other prey was thin on the ground. There’s a wonderful story in Willa Cather’s “My Antonia” about the deathbed confession of one of the two Russian brothers who were their neighbors in Nebraska. While driving a wedding party home from a neighboring town in sleighs, the caravan of sleighs was picked off, one after another, by an enormous pack of wolves, which then ate everybody up, including the horses. The wolves continued to attack until only the lead sleigh remained–the one containing the bride and groom, and driven by the Russian brothers. As the wolves begin to close in, the driver hands the reins to his brother, climbs into the back of the sleigh, and throws the bride to the wolves. Then he throws the groom to the wolves.

            So the Russian brothers had to move to Nebraska.

    What is left to say? About this moment we are in. About the state of the human condition in this arbitrarily assigned year we generally accept as being “2023.”
    A culmination cometh. And we shall see some things. The momentum is established by larger forces than our perceptions seem capable of understanding, let alone being able to actually realistically do anything to or about them.
    We feel the forces dragging us to the Edge, yet can only nervously titter and perhaps give those forces we do recognize names for familiarity’s small comfort and speak of previous “solutions” to past issues of the day, as if maybe, hopefully, we can somehow avoid the reality of the consequences of too many evil people for too many years having built this horrid construct.

    But this one is a real humdinger, this one is so many-faceted that it’s quite impossible to wrap our noggins around the scope of the thing. I won’t reiterate the litany we face, we know what they are, who the humans involved are, it’s just a matter of having the simple courage to accept “Shit has gotten out of hand” and we can no longer deal with the totality in any meaningful and/or effective way. Hey, we’re only human…
    If you haven’t seen our host’s latest offering of “Eyesore of the Month” go there and gaze upon what modern mankind hath wrought.
    That representation of a functional modern building for me describes just what our contemporary condition is as a frozen in time (this moment) species truly looks like when beheld as an honest reflection of our collective American-U.S. psyche. A mirror image seen gazing into one’s own eyes.

    The time of tribulation? It’s ours as near as I can tell.

    “Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.” ~ Samuel Johnson

    I’m not going to be doing much differently, I will continue to hope some goodness will rise above, will do my own part to make it so, but I cannot unsee what I see when I look around and truly assess just where we are, how far down the wrong trail we have traveled.
    And now night is falling and we shall have to camp here on this precipice.

    • Cankerpuss June 9, 2023 at 11:49 am #

      I have long believed that we all know that things are amiss. Deep down in our bowels most people know and sense that something is deeply troubling and a cancerous sickness and rot lies over our culture, society and people. We all know it and can sense it but we don’t know what to do about it. So, we look to drugs, alcohol, entertainment, sports and medications to give us a reprieve from it to take away our focus. We are all living lies. Deep lies. Most people driving around in nice cars don’t actually own them. Most people living in big fancy homes don’t actually own them. Hell, most people don’t even own the clothes on their own backs having financed those clothes with credit cards. We know something is amiss in our foods. We know the problems with our children is because of we the parents. We know our Government is not what they pretend to be. We know our money is false and is nothing more than flimsy paper. We know we are lied to on all accounts. We know our healthcare providers are nothing more than pill pushers for big-pharma. We know social security and our pensions are ponzi schemes. We know most beautiful women we see aren’t really that beautiful as they are hidden behind layers of paint and artificial implants. We know most music we see is computer generated and fake.

      Most of what we experience in this world is a lie, fake or unreal. This is a world of lies controlled by the father of all lies.

      The best thing I have found that I can do is be real. I’m getting older. I let my hair go grey. My teeth are yellow and crooked and I make no effort to whiten or straighten them. I don’t live on credit but I live debt free. I focus on interpersonal relationships when I can find them. I try to focus on the real and avoid the lies of our society. The more I focus on the real and keep myself above and out of the games of lies played by the majority of society the better able I am to cope.

      • stelmosfire June 9, 2023 at 12:00 pm #

        Cank, are you debt free? Do you own a house. No, the town owns the house. Property tax. A car? Excise tax or no registration where I live. The feds/ city own everything. Fuel tax, sales tax, income tax, estate tax, tax the rich, tax the poor, tax it all till there ain’t no more.

            Self sufficiency would mean giving even more in many case. Taking of your own old, sick, crazy. Schooling your own kids, etc. For those that couldn’t, the Church could – but that means tithing or giving a tenth of your income so it can do that.

        • Jarek June 9, 2023 at 1:50 pm #

          Keep going, Stel. Do you own your own mind? As if it is self sufficient and doesn’t need inputs from without? How about your body? Self sufficient or part of nature, needing inputs?

          And in what sense is it yours then? Did you buy it? From who or where? Got a receipt?

          You approach the existential – that which is intrinsic and not just social or political.

          • Night Owl June 10, 2023 at 3:12 pm #

            Once again, explain how requiring input of some sort equals non-ownership.

          • Jarek June 10, 2023 at 11:50 pm #

            That you require inputs shows you are relative, not an isolated, “atomic”, eternal, individual. And as a relative being, you can’t really own or control anything. Only God can do that.

          • Night Owl June 11, 2023 at 9:49 am #

          stelmosfire, we are all subject to constraints that make “debt free” a relative term. We can reasonably consider ourselves debt free if we have no debt beyond those constraints. I can reasonably hope to pay off credit card debt, which I have long since done, and any other debt that I have acquired by my own actions – also done.

        I have started to focus on what is real too—nature, true friendship, sincere social interactions. I quit dying my hair years ago and quit wearing makeup last year. It’s not surprising to me that women are allowing trans men to overtake their sports; they have been letting society tell them for years that they are ugly if they don’t dye their hair, paint their faces, get cosmetic surgery, etc. Whole lotta disdain for the natural that women have allowed, with themselves as victims. Fake fake fake.

          Yes, make hay while the sun shines. Spring thwarted cometh not again.

          Women need to attract men while in their teens or twenties, before they start to lose their looks.

          Women use makeup because it works. If it didn’t, they wouldn’t. No one “makes” them make themselves up. Indeed, try stopping them! I remember a woman put to death in Iran for being a beautician. She cursed them right to the end. She might have been able to save herself, but refused.

            I had noticed that, but I thought of it more as I looked so bad they thought they had a shot.

            Not exactly. Makeup is enabled in the South because of ac being available everywhere for homes. motor vehicles, boats, planes, stores, cab tractors etc. etc. When the Long Emergency arrives with no ac women will stop painting their faces. Their sweating and makeup smudging and running will only make them look like Alice Cooper or Marilyn Manson – creepy and wierd. That’s when makeup stops working. Todays peeps can’t imagine a world with no ac. When it arrives there will be intense wailing and knashing of teeth.

            ========

            ^This^ is sooo true.

            Beginning in mid-2005 and extending to Oct 2013, my mother-in-law (i.e. Peter and Bo’s mom) lived on our third floor where Peter currently lives. She fell, broke her hip and died 7 months later in 2014. But in the few years before she took that fall on the steps she was in her late 80s and we would take her several times a week to a nearby nursing home/adult day care facility to give her something to do.

            I would load “mom” into the front passenger seat of my car and help her to get strapped in with the seat belt. Consider now that mom was very old and very demented yet the first thing she did as soon as she was settled in her seat was to flip down the sun visor and check her appearance in the mirror.

            The daily routine was that Bo would lay out the clothes mom would be wearing and would apply makeup to her face: penciled-on eye brows, rouged cheeks, powdered nose and lipstick.

            Even an old woman, decades beyond the need to attract men, never gives up on the desire to beautify with makeup.

        • Vegan Shark June 9, 2023 at 5:33 pm #

          Diane @ 12:58 pm,

          I suppose dying your hair or wearing makeup is unreal or unnatural if you want to look at it that way. But they’ve existed in almost every culture in history. They are part of human nature, and to call human nature unnatural is contradictory.

          What’s wrong with modifying one’s looks as long as the result is tasteful and attractive? It’s a form of kindness to others, making their visual world more beautiful.

          Do you eat with a knife and fork (or chopsticks)? Wear eyeglasses? Dozens of actions performed by all of us every day would never be found in a pure state of nature.

          True friendship, sincerity in social relations and such are virtuous and admirable. But they are arguably rising above behaviors assigned by nature.

            I agree, nothing wrong with having a little pride in ones’ appearance. As you say, it’s been a sign of a healthy society for the most part all throughout history.

          • Anthea June 10, 2023 at 4:06 am #

            @ Vegan Shark:

            Yes, for the most part, if not excessive, women wear makeup, dress nicely, comb their hair, and put on a bra just as a matter of propriety. You’re supposed to look decent in public.

            As MaryQueen said (sort of), taking pride in ones appearance is healthy. Going around looking slovenly is a pretty good sign that a person has a mental or physical problem–that is, they are unhealthy at some level.

            Back when I was in that business, I used to be particular about skin care: hyaluronic acid, retinol, toners, facial soap, glycolic acid peels, and such. I’ve mostly lost interest in this, but, after all, who wants to look bad?

          • MaryQueen June 10, 2023 at 10:30 am #

            Agree, Anthea.

            When it gets to the extreme, it’s just clownish, but again, that isn’t the majority of people (even if it’s a trend that millions pick up).

            I saw these 2 young women in Panera last week in line ordering food, and there were about 3 adult businessmen behind them. The men didn’t really look at them except sort of nervously – as one would a crazy person. This might be because both of these young women were tarted up to the point of over-the-top ridiculousness. They were scantily clad (mini-skirt, bare midriff tops, etc), high platform shoes. Oh wait, one had fluffy boa feathered sliders like bedroom slippers from the 1950s. They had those shelf-like fake eyelashes, but not just regular ones, the industrial ones the drag queens wear. Their hair was bleached to a painfully unattractive level, and sprayed into place. Their lipstick was likewise super exaggerated, done outside their lipline. They had micro-bladed eyebrows and tattoos to top it all off. Lots of cheap bling on ears and wrists.

            They had affected mannerisms that one usually sees (again) by drag queens or gay men trying to act like a caricature of women.

            They just made everyone around them (a bunch of regular folks) uncomfortable (except me & my friend, we were quietly fascinated and quite entertained). I am not sure that was their aim, who knows.

            As for skin care and all the lotions and treatments available, castor oil works *very* well and is inexpensive. It also has many other medicinal uses besides as a laxative which it used to be famous for.

          • Anthea June 10, 2023 at 5:23 pm #

            @ Woodchuck:

            Meh. I’m quite familiar with castor oil and its many uses.

            Skin care has made radical advances over the past 10-20 years. It’s not your grandma’s Oil of Olay any more. If a woman consistently uses various potions, it’s possible to literally turn back the clock a good ten years or so. I used to make and sell hyaluronic acid serum and retinol serum. (The Vitamin C serum didn’t behave well for me, so I gave up on it.) Those two serums and a good facial soap, used with an exfoliating glove, are about all it takes.

            A glycolic acid peel is also a good idea once in awhile. If you ever do a glycolic acid peel, you’ll see what I mean. The feel of your skin, before and after, is amazing. Your “before” skin feels like a piece of rough lumber. Your “after” skin feels like the same piece of lumber would feel if it were finely finished and polished. The reason for that is that your skin is covered with a ton of mostly invisible dead skin, which makes it feel rough. Glycolic acid eats up this layer of dead skin. Removing the dead skin makes the skin healthier. Dead skin clogging the pores is the most common cause of acne. There’s also quite a difference when you apply makeup. Obviously, if you apply makeup to a piece of rough lumber, it will not do much to enhance its appearance, and you’ll get a flakey, cakey effect. When you apply makeup to smooth skin, it works a lot better.

            There are of course many other products that can make your skin healthier–and thus better looking. You almost have to work with this stuff, as in formulating products, to get a sense of what you can do.

            One example is DL-Panthenol (pro-Vitamin B-5). Try using a shampoo with Panthenol versus using a shampoo without it. You should notice a HUGE difference–unless the manufacturer is skimping on the Panthenol. Since I was formulating the stuff myself, I had no worries about this. I used the maximum recomended percentage. Panthenol is just as good for skin as it is for hair. There are lots of other goodies that can go in hair and skin products: quarternary cationic polymers, urea, cetrimonium chloride, silk amino acids, and various essential oils and herbal extracts. I often used frankincense essential oil and peony extract in some products, but there are many more.

            If a person is into this type of thing, it is endlessly fascinatig and complex. Now that I’ve quit making and selling these products, I’ve found other things to be fascinated by.

            My point here is that this whole area is both interesting and valuable. You do this stuff for the same reason you stay in shape, put on some deodorant and perfume, and shave your armpits. A “natural” woman might go without deodorant and perfume, and let her leg hairs and armpit hairs grow, but I don’t think that’s desirable.

        One of the things I used to tell my daughters, when they had a life-altering decision to make (and there were many), is that when you come to a fork in the road, you can only go one way or the other, and you have to choose. You will never know what was down that other road. I guess my point was that there’s no use in beating yourself up about these choices.

        It’s also my belief that, if there is trouble ahead, there is no avoiding it, no matter what choice you make. You just change the nature of the trouble.

They are too weak minded to bring hell upon their Democrat Senators and Representatives. I live in Pennsylvania, the home of welfare and voter fraud. We have been blessed with Senator Fetterman and Senator Casey. Neither of these two ae patriotic enough to ask what the hell is going on. They hide behind a desk and vote the straight party line to protect their own ass. These two could care less about the people of Pennsylvania who go to work every day and pay congressional salaries.

      Robespierre was part of the problem. A successful revolutionary but a poor leader, his main contribution to the revolution was making it so bloody that the French were eager for it to end.

      It did and led to Napoleon to restore sanity, albeit as a crowned emperor.

    Plan B – If it comes down to Biden vs Trump, I’ll vote for donald despite still being super pissed about his betrayal of Julian Assange, among other things.
    Plan C – carry on with preps for upcoming collapse.

    I guess plan C runs parallel to A and B.

    • tuco22 June 9, 2023 at 12:27 pm #

      Yeah, I think that’s what I’ll do, too. I agree with an earlier post about Donald Trump never being allowed to set foot in the, I’ll call it the colored house, since Biden lit it up with rainbow lights to mark the beginning of Pride month, so I don’t intend to vote for him, but I was thinking of registering as democrat and voting for Bobby Kennedy, Jr, just to split the ticket for Biden.

The indictment of President Trump, while China/cartel Joe goes untouched, should tell everyone all they need to know. There is an ongoing war against all non-leftists, and it will only get worse and more deadly. There are many millions who are not afraid to stand up to fight and die if necessary, rather than submit to absolute tyranny. That is the reason for the push to disarm Americans pure and simple.

      It might be due to the efforts of people such as Jonathan Turley. I have been examining Turley’s commentary on Merrick Garland since 8/16/22 When he wrote that “Merrick Garland is a person with unimpeachable ethics and integrity.”

      Margot Cleveland and Jonathan Turley have both practiced and taught law. It has been interesting to search the writings of both for “Garland” and comparing what they have to say. I am beginning to wonder if Turley will ever modify his position on Merrick Garland considering that he has linked back to his 8/16/22 article in subsequent writing.

    Great post today, Jim.

    You may have noticed the timing of this new werewolf hunt has a near-magical synchronicity with oddly identical circumstances shimmering around the current occupant of the White House — another case of misplaced official papers. Unlike the Donald Trump werewolf hunt, the “Joe Biden” classified-docs-in-a-garage case is moving at the speed of an Amtrak train with a broken Johnson rod stuck on a sidetrack outside Joppatowne, Maryland, in a snowstorm on Christmas Eve.

    I think the interesting aspect of the timing is relative to the upcoming US presidential election (17 moons and all). They want Trump tied up with Dickens-styled legal contortions a la Bleak House.

    Hey Mitch, how about the curious case of Albert Pike, a high ranking mason who predicted communism, 3 world wars and a series of coordinated catastrophes culminating in a one world goverment?

    Funny he didn’t mention depletion eh?

    “According to Pike’s first prophecy, World War 1 was planned to overthrow the Tsars in Russia and make Russia a communist stronghold.

    His next prophecy was about World War 2 that he said sparked as a catalyst to destroy Nazism. The true purpose of WWII was that communism could take over wearier governments and for a sovereign state of Israel to be set up in Palestine.

    The third masonic prophecy deals with WWIII and Pike said the global war will be fought between the west and leaders of the Islamic war. The letter allegedly said: “The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the ‘agentur’ of the ‘Illuminati’ between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World.

    Albert Pike’s Masonic Prophecy About The Three World Wars

    Has the third world war already started?

    The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other.

    Albert Pike’s Masonic Prophecy About The Three World Wars

    Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual, and economical exhaustion.

    We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, the origin of savagery, and of the most bloody turmoil

    In his book, Carr writes that “Pike told Mazzini that after World War Three is ended, those who aspire to undisputed world domination will provoke the greatest social cataclysm the world has ever known.”

            I don’t know. Adams and Jefferson were very concerned about Grand Orient Masonry (from France and denying God) establishing itself in the American Lodges.

    A quick scan of the comments above finds an important sentiment that stands out, at least for me:

    “I have no faith in the majority of the American people.”

    “They are perfectly willing to give up any and all rights.”

    If a significant proportion of citizen resisters fundamentally believe such things about their fellow neighbors and potential allies, please explain to me how this attitude differs from the instinctive condescension (we are all deplorable, etc.) of key individuals in the networks of power (the so-called educated elites) that actually run our country.

    Aren’t you, just like me and most of our fellow citizens, simply AFRAID to act on any ideas that might collectively bring us together to say and really mean – enough!

    If so, then a public recognition of such legitimate fear (by all of us) may provide a psychological bond/foundation for future collective political mobilization with our fellow citizens – that may begin to chip away at the fear that is presently immobilizing us.

    It just might be worthwhile to focus on such a possibility as we continue to stumble around in the present darkness.

    For those agitators who like to stop by after receiving their Soros check, and who have demanded we define Woke, here’s a good one from the Brownstone Institute:

    “Our Definition of Woke

    Assembling the attitudes and activities that characterise the woke phenomenon, we arrive at the following definition of woke:

    Woke is a movement that invades and usurps public spaces and economic roles occupied by dominant cultural forces and group identities, displaying moral absolutism, intolerance, narcissism, victimhood, identity theft, alarmism, and the appearance of tolerance and diversity instead of their substance.

    Our definition is quite a mouthful, but that is hard to avoid when trying to capture a complex, large-scale sociological phenomena. If we were writing a dictionary for the common man and needed a simple one-liner, we might write that woke is a “sterile death cult of unproductive whining kids who find each other in a raid on the adults they hope to replace.”

    https://brownstone.org/articles/what-and-why-is-woke/

    It’s not my definition, but it’s close. I would say it’s a religion, not a movement, for starters.

      I don’t think the Brownstone Institute essay quite gets it.

      “Identity theft” is not a good description, IMO, of the type of appropriation that is going on.Also, “identity theft” actually means something specific in a completely different context, so it adds confusion.

      I also don’t think the essay gets things right vis-a-vis feminism.

      Lindsay’s discussion and analysis is far more penetrating. Wish there were a transcript of his speech to the EU Parliament.

    There are going to be battles on the streets and in the school board rooms and local municipalities soon, that is for sure.

    Meanwhile, the younger generation is becoming literally retarded. That’s going to really help.

    “Trump Derangement turns out to be an extreme presentation of mass Species Identity disorder… now we are to have a grand show trial, in the Stalinist mode, of presidential candidate (and werewolf) Donald Trump on charges actually concocted…”

    Sometimes in the world of ‘Justice’ you come up with the guilty verdict first and then you build backwards to fill in the blanks and make it look good and sellable. That’s been the mode of operation in lots of places over time.

    Sort of like in the old TV Westerns where the angry scruffy street mob out for blood always goes, ‘We Don’t Have To Bother With No Stinking Trial! Necktie Party Time! Get’s GO! GET HIM!’

    These days, the angry scruffy mob includes Soccer Moms who are offended by nasty tweets… a political party that formerly represented the Working Class but now who sucks the long thick pipe of big moneyed interests and globalists intent on the obliteration of anything that used to be the United States of America… hyperventilating State media personalities who have built their entire careers as well as their own personal life mission around the destruction of one man… and other useful idiots.

    Trump is no saint. He’s made mistakes and bent the rules. But is he alone in that? Who the hell in that position hasn’t in American history?

    Some still believe The Donald to be some kind of savior or messianic figure. But they too suffer from a different kind of delusion. But Trump is not wrong about everything, either. In fact, he’s been right about more things that the Spirit of the Times cares to acknowledge. And that State Media will never, ever admit.

    And he has been bullseye right on point when he points fingers at the dangerous forces lurking in the shadows that are taking a wrecking ball to America.

    Another dark chapter in a bleak time in American history.

    The word ‘Justice’ carries the word ‘Just’ (as in rightful). Is what we see today coming from so many directions… ‘Just’?

    Maybe when you ask that question of yourself you shouldn’t be listening to the angry street mob out looking to find a rope.

    “BIT” – Behavioral Insights Team

    British/ American Brainwashing seems to revolve around “Heuristics” (i.e., Mental Shortcuts)?

    The human Brain may be hardwired to prefer making Mental Shortcuts rather than expending the considerable effort via Reason, Logic, and Deliberation to think-things-through? For example, Brands (Mercedes Benz, Gucci, Coach, etc.), Labels (“Racist”, “Homophobe”, “Species-it’s”, “Anti-Vax”, “Trumper”, “Conspiracy Theorist”), Gang, Team, National Identities, etc. would be Heuristics. Brainwashing via the inculcation of Heuristics may explain why people don’t read or think anymore and why people often have difficulty reading more than a few paragraphs of text?

    In contrast, Chinese brainwashing relies on repetition and memorization, and social isolation and constant monitoring, which is very Energy and resource intensive? Chinese brainwashing appears to be Group based technology used by Cults, whereas British/ American brainwashing emphasizes isolation of the individual and augmenting his/ her Loneliness, Anxiety, Angst, Fear, etc. and then offering him/ her a Way Out of his emotional dilemma (like Abortion, taking the Vaccine, hating Trump, hating Putin, castration and going Trans, etc.)?

    With the Smartphone technology, the British/ Americans may have a “Superior” form of Brainwashing technology Trojan Horse? And, this is probably not a good thing for me….

    “ The first public appearance of this simplified framework was at a series of seminars in Harvard and the East Coast of the USA in 2011, and partly as light-hearted tribute to that location it became known as the EAST framework.

    Just like MINDSPACE, EAST is a mnemonic. If you want to encourage a behaviour, you should think about making it:

    Easy.

    Attractive.

    Social.

    Timely.

    The EAST framework does not cover every nuance of the behavioural literature, but it does offer a good starting point. Members of BIT spend a lot of time reading the latest academic papers and studying the literature. They find that frameworks like EAST enable a rapid engagement of a new problem – a sort of mental checklist that can be run through quickly to enable the identification of some simple ideas for early testing.

    The study of human behaviour reveals that many of our abilities as human beings rest on mental shortcuts or heuristics. It leads you to respect these heuristics. EAST is a mental heuristic of mental heuristics. Like all heuristics, it will miss a few angles, but it should get you quite a long way.”

      It’s probably because of Heuristics that most Americans are obese and not very clever?

      The Khmer Rouge were a bit “Slow-On-the-Ball” mentality because of all of the constant ambient social Fear and Terror and the constant indoctrination that that the “Angkar” ( the “Party”) is always right and Just and, therefore, you’d better damn well find the innocent bloke guilty of a crime to prove the Party right, or else, it’s gonna be “Your Sorry Ass”.

      But, there was very little Obesity in Pol Pot’s Cambodia because of all of the starvation.

      But, the Hunger is probably coming since for some strange reason “They” seem to love Starvation? I think that extreme hunger will literally turn people into Demons with parents eating their kids and kids eating their parents and siblings?

      They just blew up that dam in Ukraine to impel a big food crisis?

    https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/884

    If this bill passes both chambers and is signed into law, it will require all Americans to have a valid digital ID — IF they want to connect to the internet, open and maintain a bank account, obtain a passport, and gain access to medical care.

          My point is simple. You and your female gaggle have been attacking “men in power” for setting the trans agenda. The trans agenda is one oppressive offshoot (among many) of the WEF playbook. It’s aligned with it. Kyrsten and Cynthia, by introducing this bill, are trying to push through the trans agenda because it’s all of a piece.

            We have been attacking the attacks on women for setting the trans agenda, because it isn’t true.

            In other words, until women attain all power, they have no power – and can project utter rage onto their hate object: men.

            A classic Leftist tactic. They are powerless and thus free of any moral qualms.

            Another tactic: Saying that their hate object blames them for everything. Pure projection. No one is doing that in general (although women control the divorce industry). The reality is that they blame men for everything and deny all responsibility for themselves.

        • Islander June 11, 2023 at 7:56 pm #

        SS numbers were never supposed to be used as an ID. That was always made very clear when one got the SS number.

        However, driver’s licenses now are “biometric” IDs. So anyone with a driver’s license is readily “identifiable.”

        So there is no need for digital IDs for purposes of identification. Quite apart from the fact that I thought it was unconsittutional or something to make Americans carry national identity cards. .

        This has nothing to do with “identification” and everything to do with control.

    When you were a kid did you play with Corporate Oligarch demon “Action Figures”? I used to play with toy monsters and toy cave men.

    Apparently, if you want to encourage a particular behavior, then you want to make that behavior “easy”. I’m not sure why I was enamored with Vampires when I was a Kid, but I don’t think that it had anything to do with “Easy”. I may have been put under a Witch’s spell?

    Bill Gates periodically recommends various books to read, which are usually “Not Bad”. But, he once recommended a crappy book that his daughter thought was great about “Witchcraft”. True story….

    Apparently, according to the big Mind Control Play Book, if you want to encourage a Behavior, then you must make it “Easy” (e.g. drive through fast food), and if you want to discourage a behaviour, then you must set up “Obstacles”. Fortunately, a lot of this Evil Witchcraft stuff is a big Hassle. It’s a big Hassle to order a book of Spells from Amazon, wait for delivery, read the crappy book, go out to WalMart to buy the esoteric ingredients, cook the 3 minute spaghetti, mix the esoteric ingredients into the Ragu Spaghetti sauce, and then serve it up to your kids and your “Hubby”. If it was “Easy”, then we’d be “Really Fucked”….

      Women don’t like to work. They don’t like to do the cleaning and the laundry, and they don’t like to cook and to do the dishes, so they always want to “Eat Out”.

      And, they don’t like to be on top when having sex because it’s too much work….

      • Anthea June 10, 2023 at 10:35 am #

        @ Pucker:

        Actually, it’s the other way around. The husband and the wife both have full-time jobs. The wife is expected to put in another 4-8 hours a day (mostly depending on whether they have kids) on the job of homemaking and child care. A couple of hours of that is getting the kids dressed, fed, and off to school, or driving them to the babysitter, before she leaves for work.

        After work, she picks up the kids from the babysitter, shops, makes dinner, does the dishes, does a couple of loads of wash, vacuums, takes care of the children, helps them with their homework, gives the little ones a bath, tucks them into bed, and hopes she has time for a shower before she goes to bed.

        While she is doing all this, her husband is watching TV and making various messes for his wife to clean up; e.g., leaving soda cans, personal belongings, and articles of clothing all over the place.

        Thus, since women’s work takes about 16 hours a day, they will prefer to make some of it easier and less time-consuming.

        Now, one way that the wife’s work load could be lessened would be if her husband shared the cooking, the doing the dishes, the laundry, the cleaning, and the child care and other chores.

        But men “don’t like to do the cleaning and the laundry, and they don’t like to cook and to do the dishes,” and they don’t want to “eat out,” because, when they eat at home, someone else cooks and does dishes, which is (for them) the same as eating out. The difference that they object to is that they have to pay, if the family eats out. Alternatively, the men could take turns cooking dinner and doing the dishes. But “men don’t like to work.” They’d prefer to bitch, because they’re little bitches.

          I once knew a woman, in no way a feminist, she was an Italian immigrant with very traditional values.

          One day her husband came home from work, and dinner was not yet on the table.

          He told her, “you never have dinner ready when I get home”.

          She didn’t say a word. She removed the pot of spaghetti that was boiling on the stove, carried it over to the sink, and poured out the contents.

          Then she took the salad and threw it in the trash.

          Yeah, there’s plenty of men like that, but there’s also males that do a lot of household stuff. When my wife got multiple myeloma and could barely breathe, I did some cooking. When I lived alone, I cooked my own meals and rarely ate out. My first wife wouldn’t let me in the kitchen, she did all the cooking. My present wife does the cooking – she’s like a gourmet chef and absolutely loves to cook. I could never cook as well as her. So there’s that.

          I wash all the dishes, wash all the towels and vacuum our rugs. I change and wash our bedsheets. When I have the time and energy, I even fold and put away her laundry. Part of our floors are hardwood. They get stained and dirty very easily. I get down on my knees (wearing kneepads) and wash them. I clean my own bathroom. I’ll wash windows, clean out our slider rails and sweep out the floors of our deck. I cut and trim our rose bushes (ouch!). Etc., etc.

          • Anthea June 10, 2023 at 6:18 pm #

            @ beantownbill:

            I have known–or known of–few husbands who will do anything at all.

            Back when I did daycare, I started taking care of a little boy when he was one or two weeks old, so his mom could work full time. He had an older brother and sister. His dad did not have a job and hadn’t had a job for a couple of years. Nor did he get a job for the next four years. His wife supported the family entirely. Obviously, since I was babysitting the youngest, he wasn’t taking care of the kids, either. (I babysat the older kids when they had a day off school.) Nor was he cooking meals or taking care of the housework.

            The other child I babysat for the longest period of time (several years) also had a dad who would not work–and who didn’t take care of cooking or other chores.

            Few women are married to men who will not work–mainly because they divorce them–but the most common complaint of married women is that they effectively have two jobs, and their husbands do little or nothing to help. This is almost invariably the case. I’ve only known of one exception. This was my neighbor at my previous house. I never got to know his wife well, because I didn’t like her much. She was extraordinarily child-like and didn’t seem to know how to do anything. So I think her husband did all the cooking. The reason I knew about this was because their sons sometimes spoke of how Freddy was trying out some new recipe–but never mentioned the wife cooking anything at all. When his wife became disabled, he washed her hair for her, changed her diapers, and helped her bathe. He took her shopping by pushing her around in her wheelchair. He took her to the hairdresser. (He still does all this stuff.) I have never heard a word of complaint out of him. But he is, in my experience, one of a kind.

            Interestingly, he once mentioned something on Facebook, just in passing. I wish I could remember the exact words. But someone had posted about heaven, and Freddy remarked something about, “Once you’ve seen it….” So the guy’s been there. And it shows, even on a brief acquaintance. Once when he came over to my house and my daughter was there, she remarked later that he was an extraordinary person. She was very impressed by him.

            But this guy is a very rare bird.

          • Anthea June 10, 2023 at 6:33 pm #

            @ beantownbill:

            One tip I learned from Freddy, about coping with a disabled spouse, is to supply her with plenty of adult coloring books. His wife seems to enjoy them very much, and is always posting a picture of her completed coloring book pages on Facebook. I can’t fault her for that, as she can apparently do little else.

            Freddy has also set up bird feeders on the windowsill beside her bed, so she can watch the antics of the birds and squirrels. And he’s planted lilies (her favorite flower) in the yard in front of her window. They also have a bunch of little dogs.

            Yup. Expecting men to do their share in the household is misandry. (Which, by the way is not capitalized.)

            @ Jarek:

            One of course wonders how a grown-up man might dwindle into a chronically unemployed, bitter old incel, with little or no social contact. Few families would tolerate this from a son. He’d wind up living down at the rescue mission until he got his act together.

            Up until now, I have speculated that the problem is a disability–mental or physical–whereby both you and your family know that you are incapable of assuming an adult role in life at any level.

            But another possibility has occurred to me, which might explain some of your other pathologies.

            Could it be that, in your youth, you were convicted of a felony, perhaps rape or statutory rape, which made you virtually unemployable? (The chronic unemployment while having a roof over your head requires some kind of explanation.) This of course does not rule out mental disability. Such a scenario would explain your vitriol against women, and your belief that raping women is okay, and that the government should provide you with free prostitutes.

            You are simply a slothful, lazy bum. There are few settings in life, in which people who avoid doing their share are not despised. I would suggest that you try it at work, but you don’t have a job–perhaps because you have already tried it at work.

            Being a bum is not the same thing as being a “Mary.”

            @ Jarek:

            There is no need for you to take these discussions all that personally, as I’m sure no one has the sort of expectations of you that they would have of a normal man. Requiring others to care for you, most probably due to mental or physical disability, is, however, a misfortune and not a virtue.

            If you really require the financial support of others, and probably the care of others in the way of housekeeping and personal care, you are not to blame. But it’s a bit of a stretch to represent a life of dependency and sloth as something men should aspire to.

            Such a life, incidentally, is not the life of a “Mary.” It is a pathological condition.

        There are incredibly hard working women, and men. And lazy imbeciles too.

        Generalizations… not a good tool in the search for truth. We can argue percentages. In the Third Word, maybe more men avoid chores, while working outside the home harder, even being the sole breadwinner. Here, it’s different, but I can’t offer definite numbers. I know I do dishes and cook, plus other domestic chores, Ms Deschamps does too, and we both run a small successful farm with lots of elbow grease involved.

          In other words, there are no Saber Tooth cats. That things that looked somewhat similar have eaten half of our group is simply coincidence. That all of these things (that look and act somewhat similar) are one thing is simply supposition, generalization, and thus prejudice – which is despicable as we all know. So we will continue not to avoid them. To do otherwise would to be less than we are and can be.

    That’s probably why they portray supporting Ukraine as “Heroic”, albeit most people have zero understanding of Ukraine and it doesn’t make any sense?

    Three weeks ago I pointed out that my net worth as calculated from a base date of 2/20/2020 had declined by 1.62% as of 5/19/2023. My NW then proceeded to decline further to 2.48% as of 5/25/2023. Then, after todays market close I did my daily NW calculation and my loss was now only 1.00%. So, all the fretting about people’s 401Ks and IRAs losing a fortune is simply not true. At least not yet.

          The smaller gold pieces would be about the right denomination for buying a side of beef or a hog from your neighbor. You could probably buy a car–or a new transmission–for a couple of ounces of gold. If you needed to fill up your gas tank, I’m pretty sure the Pakistani guy who owns the gas station would accept payment in silver. So, most likely, would the mechanic who works on your car.

          I don’t think spending gold and silver would be a big worry. The big worry would be how to get paid in gold and silver, so that your stash didn’t get used up.

    When I was fired as high school baseball coach, I got two of my players to smash the principal’s windshield with baseball bats. It was sad when they went to reform school, but I was not arrested, nor should I have been, since I did nothing wrong. I was arrested, however, when they got a search warrant and found bats, balls, and catcher’s gear in my garage. School property, my ass. I was the coach! That equipment was mine! Eventually, I was forced to pay a five-figure fine, but what really got my goat was the fact that the elitists had won. Now, thanks to your blog, I can finally put things into perspective. I was a werewolf, just like you said.

      Perhaps, one way to get parents to feel better about teaching their kids to kill “Enemies” would be to publish the details of the various “Crimes” that the “Enemies” had committed to make it more interesting?

      “ One of my favourite examples of where government did think about a problem in this way was when an arm of the US Air Force was facing public opposition to its flying over or close to residential neighbourhoods. Someone had the bright idea of circulating much more information about the different aircraft being flown. Though that didn’t reduce the noise level, it certainly changed reactions to it – and as any cognitive psychologist will tell you, most perception is interpretive. ‘Look – it’s the new F15!’ feels very different from, ‘it’s another bloody plane flying overhead’.”

        On the previous thread, I asked you if David Halpern was a whisteblower or was pro-nudge. I didn’t get an answer, but have just got one from reading the blurb on Amazon.

        “Dr David Halpern, behavioural scientist and head of the government’s Behavioural Insights Team, or Nudge Unit, invites you inside the unconventional, multi-million pound saving initiative that makes a big difference through influencing small, simple changes in our behaviour. Using the application of psychology to the challenges we face in the world today, the Nudge Unit is pushing us in the right direction. This is their story.”

        They’re ‘pushing us in the right direction’. OK, got it. Not a whistle-blower, then – a proud social engineer …

        And, sadly, there will be millions in this country alone who think it’s great, just as they flocked for the vaxx passports, to be ‘part of the solution’ (to that pesky problem of human beings wanting to be free and autonomous, presumably).

        • Pucker June 10, 2023 at 6:44 am #

          Halpern only gives positive examples of how “Nudging” can “help” people.

          Like, how Elon Musk’s brain chips can restore sight to the blind.

          But, one could envision how Behavioral Psychology would be very dangerous in the hands of psychopaths. For example, make it “Easy” and “Attractive” to show up at the Camp and then wistfully step into the gas chamber.

    In a conversation with my wife over breakfast this morning I learned two little tidbits about a couple of her female chums that for some reason amused me and I wondered if any of y’all have acquaintances who think and act like this.

    Bo mentioned to Steph next door that she would be going to Costco for something later in the day. Steph asked if Bo could please pick up a new garden hose for her as hers was broken. Later something came up and Bo had to cancel her Costco trip and thus couldn’t get Steph the hose she wanted. But Bo said to Steph, “why don’t you just order it on-line from Amazon, it’s so simple and convenient.” Steph said “Oh no I will never buy anything from Amazon, they are so nasty to their employees.”

    The second similar little tale involved Bo’s friend Gail who is an expert sewer and holds a masters degree concerning clothing/costumes over the ages. She does work for a couple of museums in NYC. She mentioned to Bo she was going a considerable distance to purchase thread and other sewing supplies. Bo asked why she didn’t just buy them from a nearby Hobby Lobby. Gail said “Oh, no I won’t do business with them, they are against abortion rights.”

    Personally, I (Q.) don’t recall ever inconveniencing myself by boycotting a company over issues that don’t affect me directly.

    Are these two women weird or is it me that’s weird?

    • GreenAlba June 10, 2023 at 5:52 am #

      “Personally, I (Q.) don’t recall ever inconveniencing myself by boycotting a company over issues that don’t affect me directly.”

      Supporting Amazon affects everyone directly. They are – literally and officially – part of the UK’s intelligence services, through some agreement or other that I don’t recall. I’m sure they have something similar with the US. Supporting Amazon is literally feeding the beast that intends to devour you.

      I’m amazed when I see people buying – especially from Amazon – these doorbells or whatever they are that allow you to see remotely who is at your door. They are literally providing the intelligence services with real-time information on their movements to and from their house, as well as on everyone who visits them (very handy if you’re imposing a lockdown with draconian consequencdes for violations).

      Having said that, my hands are not clean. I buy books from Amazon on covid and by people in what you might loosely call the ‘freedom movement’. I have regularly tried Waterstone’s first and they never stock them. When I was trying to get hold of Whitney Webb’s 2-volume book on the Epstein blackmail network, I tried the publisher’s website, as recommended by the author, but they wanted some insane amount not much below £100 to deliver them, and the books were already massively expensive..

      • Rowdypiglet June 10, 2023 at 11:14 am #

        GreenAlba, In the rural US, people have become dependent on Amazon for several reasons. So many small, local businesses they used to rely on are gone. Rural areas are full of poor people and the elderly, who can’t readily drive 50 miles to the nearest Walmart (their only other option). Local drugstores have closed, as ours has, and many people now get their prescriptions by mail from Amazon. You can get the bare necessities in your village store, but if you need anything beyond that – like the Manuka honey wound dressings that Amazon just delivered to my neighbor – they’re your only option. As you age and become less mobile, you become ever more dependent on items arriving at your door.

      • Anthea June 10, 2023 at 11:32 am #

        I buy a lot of things online, mainly because, if you live in the country, regular shopping areas are too far away. Plus I have developed an aversion to driving in the city. I’m no longer familiar with the city or the freeways, and no longer trust my reflexes or eyesight.

        Because of my taste in books, I’m able to get most of them from ABEbooks.com, a seller of used books. (They always look like new.)

        I order from Amazon occasionally, but probably more often from Walmart, because they never seem to charge me for shipping. Most recent purchases: a KD-8000 scale and a blanching basket. I need the scale for the few soap and body care products I plan to continue to make at home, after selling the soap business. I need the blanching basket because I have a lot of garden produce to freeze. Last year, we didn’t blanch the vegetables before freezing, and the results were sub-optimal. I doubt that I could have found either of these items at any store within 50 miles of me.

        I used to buy thousands of dollars worth of soap-making ingredients online, but that was from companies that specialize in soap-making (and body care) supplies, and most of them are small and independently owned. Most recent purchases from these suppliers were: DL-Panthenol, BTMS-50, Germaben, and glycerin from Brambleberrry, and some essential oils and fine cosmetic carrier oils from New Directions Aromatics. (Before that, I was constantly ordering garden supplies.)

        Most of my online purchases are made because I have no other option.

        As for everything else, I buy almost all my clothes and chachkas at the thrift store. (When you have the equivalent of a 100-foot row of flowers in the garden, you’ll be needing some vases.)

        • Rowdypiglet June 10, 2023 at 1:47 pm #

          I hear you, Anthea. We buy every possible thing at the local thrift store. I haven’t bought unused clothing or shoes in twenty years. We buy small appliances there too – it’s where I got my Farberware percolator that is going strong many years later. If you’re really lucky, your rural place is within driving distance of a ReStore, where you can get just about anything in the way of tools, appliances, kitchen cabinets, bathroom fixtures, etc.

          • Anthea June 10, 2023 at 7:38 pm #

            @ Rowdypiglet:

            Our local thrift store is a real treasure. It is run by the local churches, and everyone who works there is a volunteer, so the prices are cheap.

            When there are many elderly people in a community, there are a lot of people who are downsizing, going into assisted living or nursing homes, or dying. Many of these people are/were well-to-do, and our thrift store is awash in their stuff. Some of the clothing is of the highest quality–from stores where I could never afford to shop.

            This is an unusual era in history. Never before have so many wealthy people given away so much fancy stuff.

            I do have to say that their wall art is not to my taste, but I’m okay with the 100% linen slacks and the designer shirts.

            It continually amazes me that people waste money on new things that you can pick up for a few dollars in the thrift shop

            Also, yes, small appliances, tools, hardware, complete sets of dishes, cookware, office supplies and notebooks, picture frames, clothes and games for children, books (including any cookbook you want) . . . and things you actually can’t find in regular stores anymore, or not easily. Not to mention furniture.

            We also have a couple of free clothing exchanges, plus the Dumptique, where everything is free.

            If you live in an area where there is any wealth, some of it trickles down via thrift shops.

        GA – I also find it amazing that people put Alexas in their homes. Some say they do it for the convenience of turning music off and on, as well as have an on-call encyclopedia in the room whenever they’re trying to remember the name of “that actor in that one movie with the lumberjack” without having to go to their phone or computer. Okay, that’s fine.

        But I know some that place them to monitor their kids around the house. The kids know they’re always being potentially monitored, a bit of Panopticon effect. The funny thing is the parents don’t seem to care that if they can monitor their kids through these devices, why on earth would they themselves not always be potentially monitored by Amazon as well?

        They don’t care. Okay, that’s fine.

        I believe there was just a lawsuit settled against Amazon for just this…they had been keeping recordings of people’s kids on their servers without permission. The best part is these same parents think that the lawsuit settlement means Amazon won’t keep doing it. I chuckle.

          Quite so, Mr Mango. Given that our phones and iPads (and even TVs?) are already spying on us, the idea of buying a totally unnecessary product that practically has ‘SPY’ written all over it is just bizarre.

          Just as ‘loading the dishwasher’ became a chore in itself – as opposed to washing the dishes yourself – so taking 5 seconds to look something up with a search engine is now a chore and has to be replaced with ‘asking’ a machine a question (fine if you’re disabled and can’t type!). I know they’ve been around a long time, but Alexa and her pals strike me as one of the most dystopian additions to the living room. Especially if you live somewhere like where I live, where we have a First Minister keen to make it a crime to use ‘hate speech’ in your own house. Alexa will be a witness for the prosecution.

        spot on, GA. Yet, I’ll second the subsequent posters who argue that in rural America, that behemoth monopoly is the only way to get some things you need at a reasonable price.

        For books, I do use other vendors. But some farm supplies and odd tidbits… I need to go through that.

        Boycotts are not an effective tool, in my opinion. Reducing consumption across the board is the best way to raise the middle finger to power. And don’t get me started on social media posts… “now that’ll show them! I posted it on twitter!”

        During “shame” month, a lot of, maybe most, of the local stores are going woke.

        So there’s no incentive for me to give them my business instead of Amazon;

        • Anthea June 10, 2023 at 11:29 pm #

          @ Islander:

          I haven’t seen the least hint of any store supporting “pride” month around here. I know one woman who works for a fairly big company that has hyped various “pride” items to its employees. (The only one she has mentioned specifically is T-shirts, but apparently there are others.) But she says that the company does not present itself that way to customers.

          Even our regional library has been silent on the LGBT front, and, based on their handling of covid, I’d say they are very much in the liberal camp.

          One odd thing is that Walmart has taken to piping in what sounds like the lively conversations of shoppers. At first, you think you are overhearing the people in the next aisle. That has changed a little, over the past couple of months. When they first started doing this, these fake conversations consisted of a lot of blacks, loudly shucking and jiving. Now the fake conversations are between white people. (Very few blacks shop at that location, so you never hear any loud talk.)

          Anyway, it makes you want to go over to the customer service desk and report a disturbance, and that you think they have some unattended “youth” in the pet department. And then give them a severe look and add, “And you know what that means.”

          What that means is that their store will be a ghost town in a few months. Duh. Just as has happened to several area malls.

          • Islander June 11, 2023 at 10:50 am #

            I’m glad to hear that some areas of the USA are not going mad!

      You are witnessing the success of the Deep State dividers, the power folks that use divide and conquer as their weapon for power acquisition. Remember the Deep State’s primary policy is the preservation of itself, not the good of the people.

      Nothing sickens me more than listening to some Bidenphyte extolling the virtues of their democracy, meaning control by the minority. Control by the majority, ie rule of law is finished as long as the Leftist Deep State is in charge.

        Ya know, I was very hesitant to write that comment about Steph next door who needed a new hose but wouldn’t use Amazon, and Gail who needed sewing supplies but won’t go to Hobby Lobby, but I’m glad now that I did. It has stirred up a lot of interesting conversation. There are more of you ‘activist’ types out there than I would have expected.

        On top of not trying to save the world from the likes of Amazon (nasty to their employees per Steph) and Hobby Lobby (who doesn’t support abortion rights per Gail) I stopped voting many years ago.

        The populist boycott against Bud Light is one of the few good things happening – Jarek

        ===========

        For all the time I spend on this blog plus reading newspapers and magazines it appears I simply can not keep up. I think I saw the words Bud Light somewhere but they just glanced off one of my brain lobes. So, naturally, I googled it and here is what the controversy is all about:

        In early April, Bud Light sent an influencer named Dylan Mulvaney a handful of beers. Mulvaney, in turn, posted a video of herself dressed like Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, using said beers to celebrate both March Madness and her first year of womanhood. One of the cans featured her image. It was part of a paid sponsorship deal and promotion for some sort of sweepstakes challenge where people can win $15,000 from Bud Light by sending in videos of themselves carrying a lot of beers.

        This made some people very mad, and not because Holly Golightly wasn’t really a beer gal (her preference was the White Angel, a boozy mix of vodka and gin, which, whew). Instead, they were upset because Mulvaney is transgender.

        Trans issues are currently front and center in America’s culture war. Anti-trans sentiment is sweeping many corners of the right, targeting children, drag shows, driver’s licenses, and health care, among other areas. It’s showing up in conservative media and conservative legislation and even working itself into the mainstream.

        Now, Bud Light has found itself in the eye of the anti-trans storm. Kid Rock is shooting cans of the beer, and Travis Tritt says he’s banning the brand from his tour. Many on the right have called for a boycott of the bestselling beer in the country. If this all sounds ludicrous, it’s because it kind of is. It’s also indicative of where we are in the United States today.

        I guess I am supporting the boycott since I drink only Blue Moon beer…but I wish they’d stop serving it with a slice of orange. Who the hell thought THAT was a good idea.

          It’s you ‘Stick, it’s totally you.

          I’m boycotting almost everything. It started with McDonald’s on June 22, 1989. After scraping the bottom half of the bun off a McD’s hamburger that had sat under the tanning lamp for the past hour or two, I thought, “This is shit!”, and threw it out the window.

          Later, I discovered Microsoft, who’s motto is, apparently, “If it ain’t broke, break it.” Apple soon followed suit, but hey, a guy’s gotta compute…

          I buy my hash oil at a dispensary that doesn’t “support the black community” (i.e., Burn, Loot ‘n’ Murder) – almost all of them up here in ultrawhite northern Michigan proudly post the 3 angry black fists.

          Budweiser – “lite” or not – well, as I told a cashier who berated the locally produced IPA that I was buying, “”I’d rather piss in my sock and wring it out 6 months later”, than drink Bud Light.

          And they seem to have to tick off boxes for these generic articles, stating that the only people against the trans agenda is the “far right” when it’s pretty much most people, no matter where they stand politically, except die-hard liberals.

          • Islander June 11, 2023 at 10:57 am #

            Then with their ttrans propaganda and flags they add “No place for Hate,” a typical “And when did you stop beating your wife” little coda.

            IOW, If you don’t agree with our agenda you are haters.

            Of course we are not “haters” for accusing you of being “haters.” Oh, no, accusing others of being haters is NOT “hate speech”!!!

    Where are we with the All Cause Mortality figures?

    Early on in the pandemic, there was that doctor who prognosticated that everyone who got the Jab would be dead after 5 years because of “Micro-clots” and advised a “D-Dimer” test. What the Hell is a “D-Dimer”?

    “A.J. Benza, a podcaster who formerly worked for the New York Daily News, told Dr. Drew Pinsky on his program on May 30 that Foxx was left “partially paralyzed and blind” after he received a Covid vaccine. Benza alleged that Foxx was forced to get a vaccine while he was working on a film. He claimed he had a source “in the room” with Foxx and that the performer developed a blood clot, which led to a stroke, after he got vaccinated. Pinsky didn’t challenge the claim. ”

      Ladies and gents, the first article about Covid I have read happened yesterday.

      Studies are showing that Long Covid is happening because the virus or pieces of the virus are surviving and going dormant hiding from the immune system.

      Like Chicken pox, shingles and Ramsay Hunt syndrome with Herpes Zoster.

      What really struck me is the “pieces of virus hiding”. Like s proteins? Are s proteins harbingers of immune damage and ongoing inflammatory diseases? I am thinking that some of the conspirators are finally starting to get some work noticed. It definitely seems this virus was manufactured to do permanent damage.

      Vaxxers are going to see ongoing inflammatory events, Covid itself and only time will tell what the “shingles effect” Covid will produce.

      This is not just a cold, ongoing effects put it in a more dangerous category.

      For one thing, the Vaxx does equivalent long term damage as the disease, unlike the flu vaccine, so far at least.

      This article’s premise, if true, shows that the vaxx may have created an ongoing presence of Covid throughout the species. Like chicken pox.

      First on the agenda need to be refusal to be vaxxed any more.

      Second, refuse the mRNA flu shot now brewing.

      • GreenAlba June 10, 2023 at 11:49 am #

        Observation by doctors who have actually been treating covid, as opposed to hiding and telling people to wait till their lips turn blue and go to hospital, has demonstrated pretty conclusively that if people are given appropriate early treatment, they don’t get long covid.

        Long covid is simply moderate covid left untreated. So it couldn’t be simpler to avoid it, but they certainly aren’t going to tell you that, and most stupid doctors don’t even know. They’re not going to tell you, because they want long covid to stick around so that vaxx injuries can be blamed on it.

      • Night Owl June 10, 2023 at 3:40 pm #

I doubt the residents of the North End of Hartford will pay much attention to the “Gun Summit.” In fact I guarantee that several Community Members will be gunned down that very weekend. Big millionaire and even billionaire Dem pols — Senator Blumenthal & Senator Murphy, JP Morgan heir Gov Lamont — all surrounded by heavily armed security details, will be pontificating on why the Proles must be disarmed.

        North Minneapolis has shootings nearly every day. One of my favorite speakers on the issue up there is a Baptist minister in the neighborhood who works with all the troubled youth…and he packs everywhere he goes. He told the legislature that the only gun control issue that needs attention is that the street kids’ guns are often bigger than his own.

            Early in my Persian Gulf exile, I enjoyed the call of the muezzin. It reminded me that I was a stranger in an even stranger land.

            Qataris are a minority in their own country. Everyone who actually works is imported. The Qataris have become uncomfortable about this – I would be too.

            Western women – probably mostly US Air Force from Al Udeid Air Base – prancing around the City Center dressed like whores, sheer tops, butt cheeks hanging out. Really? Have a little respect. Most of the real whores are Chinese – there is even a restriction on visas for Chinese women for this very reason – but they were nowhere near as flagrantly disrespectful as the Americans.

            By the time I escaped, the call to prayer had become – to my ears – the summoning of a harsh and vengeful “god” by an angry and alien people.

            And don’t even think about getting high over there. It’s a death sentence if you are caught. A whole new level of paranoia if you don’t get caught. (The only time I felt the presence of Allah. Not a good feeling. I’d rather face Yahweh’s judgmental stare any day.)

            I wish to hear the call of the muezzin in the US as much as the Wahabi wish to hear church bells.

            We should stay out of their countries – except maybe to visit, and show some respect when we do – and they should stay out of ours.

      stelmosfire, it’s hard to hold much in the way of goods if you don’t own a place to keep them. Food in a rented basement sounds even less safe than food in the basement of a house you ostensibly own but is ultimately owned by the county.

        Regarding losing to the “Golden Hoard” – elysian

        ============

        The word hoard (not horde) reminds me to tell you about a business my son Thom’s wife Alex (short for Alexandra, and not actually his wife but rather the woman he has been living with for 15+ years and thus possibly his common law wife) has started.

        Alex is an expert in de-cluttering a home by remorselessly chucking out (or selling if one is lucky) all the useless shit that fills everyone’s attic, basement, garage, closets, hallways, stairs, and etc.

        In her own home if some new article is brought in something of equal or greater size must be taken out and disposed of.

        Alex yoose to do this service for friends and relatives on an informal basis, taking as compensation whatever people offered or sometimes selling stuff on-line. She has an expert sense of what will sell and what won’t.

        Son Thom dreamed up the business name which appears, along with a phone number and QR code, on signs on both their cars.

        The business name is Thin the Hoard.

    It would be interesting to know what percentage of the population believes that lycanthropy is a physical condition in addition to a clinical condition. There are incantations, curses, and dark rituals that can supposedly turn one into a werewolf. Or perhaps a person becomes a werewolf once their daytime personality merges with their totem animal? Of course there are theories that it is a hereditary trait or even spread through bites from other werewolves. But in any case it isn’t surprising that in such a time of great disturbance and stressors that a renewed appearance of “superstition” and old lore in the collective consciousness is occurring.

    • Blackbird June 10, 2023 at 8:48 pm #

      • SoftStarLight June 10, 2023 at 9:53 pm #

        Very probable actually. The original Norse berserkers recognized either the bear, the wolf, or wild boar as their animal totem. The origin of the werewolf myth itself is not completely clear but some say there is mention of a werewolf in the epic of Gilgamesh.

    Charles Hugh Smith

    How often do you see acknowledgements that social defeat and social depression are rampant in America?

    If you do a search for social defeat, you find hundreds of links to studies of rodents. Here, we demonstrate that social defeat stress (R-SDS) impairs goal-directed motivation in male mice. “Social defeat is initiated when a male rodent is introduced into the home cage of an older, aggressive, dominant male.” “The social defeat stress model.” And so on.

    When applied to humans, the definitions are generalized in psychological terms: “The definition of Social Defeat is the loss of power, status, or self-esteem as a result of verbal or physical abuse by others.” “Social defeat (SD) is defined as a feeling of having lost the fight leading to a loss of valuable status or of important personal goals.” And so on.

    In my analysis, social defeat is a complex response to systemic economic, social and political inequalities. In other words, social defeat is the only possible outcome of structurally generated extreme asymmetries of wealth, income and power. Downward mobility excels in creating and distributing social defeat.

    Social defeat arises in strict social hierarchies in which the few dominate the many. Overcrowding exacerbates the many ills of social defeat within these social hierarchies based on dominance.

    In my lexicon, social defeat manifests as a spectrum of anxiety, insecurity, chronic stress, powerlessness, and fear of declining social status. Countless studies have identified the destructive consequences of chronic social defeat: social avoidance, passivity, depression, hyper-aggression, increased food intake and body mass, drug addiction, and so on.

    What do you see when you look around? I see all the manifestations of widespread chronic social defeat. When the system has been rigged to favor the dominant few at the expense of the many, the only possible outcome is systemic social defeat which manifests as all the ills listed above.

    Downward mobility and social defeat lead to social depression. Here are the conditions that characterize social depression:

    1. Unrealistically lofty expectations of endlessly rising prosperity have been instilled in generations of citizens as a birthright.

    2. Part-time and unemployed people are marginalized, not just financially but socially.

    3. Widening income/wealth disparity as those in the top 10% pull away from the shrinking middle class.

    4. A systemic decline in social/economic mobility as it becomes increasingly difficult to obtain middle class security or hold onto it.

    5. A widening disconnect between higher education and employment: a college/university degree no longer guarantees a stable, good-paying job. (This is what historian Peter Turchin calls overproduction of elites.)

    6. A failure in the Status Quo institutions and mainstream media to recognize social depression as a reality.

    7. A systemic failure of imagination within state and private-sector institutions on how to address social depression issues.

    8. The abandonment of middle class aspirations by the generations ensnared by the social depression: young people no longer aspire to (because they cannot afford) families or homeownership.

    9. A loss of hope in the young generations as a result of the above conditions.

    The rising tide of collective anger arising from social depression is visible in many places: road rage, violent street clashes between groups seething for a fight, the destruction of friendships for holding the “incorrect” ideological views, and so on.

    The unwelcome reality is that America chose economic and financial policies that transferred $50 trillion from labor to politically powerful capital. If this doesn’t seem possible, please read the RAND study in its entirety: Trends in Income From 1975 to 2018.

    Next, read the summary from Time.com The Top 1% of Americans Have Taken $50 Trillion From the Bottom 90% — And That’s Made the U.S. Less Secure.

    Here’s an excerpt:

    There are some who blame the current plight of working Americans on structural changes in the underlying economy–on automation, and especially on globalization. According to this popular narrative, the lower wages of the past 40 years were the unfortunate but necessary price of keeping American businesses competitive in an increasingly cutthroat global market. But in fact, the $50 trillion transfer of wealth the RAND report documents has occurred entirely within the American economy, not between it and its trading partners. No, this upward redistribution of income, wealth, and power wasn’t inevitable; it was a choice–a direct result of the trickle-down policies we chose to implement since 1975.

    We chose to cut taxes on billionaires and to deregulate the financial industry. We chose to allow CEOs to manipulate share prices through stock buybacks, and to lavishly reward themselves with the proceeds. We chose to permit giant corporations, through mergers and acquisitions, to accumulate the vast monopoly power necessary to dictate both prices charged and wages paid. We chose to erode the minimum wage and the overtime threshold and the bargaining power of labor. For four decades, we chose to elect political leaders who put the material interests of the rich and powerful above those of the American people.

    Those who gained the pilfered wealth credit their “hard work.” That’s not the full story. Policies stripmined labor and the middle class and funneled the trillions to well-connected capital via tax loopholes, subsidies, favorable tax write-offs, family trusts and many other policy decisions that could only benefit the top 0.1%, who now own more of America’s wealth than the bottom 80%.

    While the bottom 50% of America’s households lost ground as their share of the nation’s wealth shrank by a third to a meager 3%, the share of the top 1% soared by 40% to 32%.

    How often do you see acknowledgements that social defeat and social depression are rampant in America, and that the causes are systemic, the result of policies chosen by the nation’s leadership elites? Shall we be brutally honest and admit the answer is never?

    And what do you expect to be served at the banquet of consequences of this systemic generation of social defeat and social depression? Perhaps a pendulum swing to the opposite extreme?

    Jarek: Well said by Mr Smith. The psychological downfall of Capitalist Man. The ever growing poor feel inferior and resent the higher classes. The higher classes, hell, even the middle – hate the poor with a passion, anything but feel sympathy, much less guilt. And are terrified of joining their ranks.

    This is the inevitable result of the Capitalist gospel: It’s your own fault if you aren’t rich. What else is there, right? Just like it’s your own fault if you don’t win at musical chairs.

    Only one person can win at musical chairs. I learned that in first grade. And only a few people can be rich, even fewer super-rich – even when the system was America was flourishing. Does that make everyone else garbage? At some level Americans believe it since they identify with their oppressors – even as Marx said.

    His solution? Kill them and take their stuff is no solution at all. Maybe dream better not bigger?

    Until then, Americans will see themselves and each other as losers, competitors, or oppressors, not neighbors or country men. Utter social defeat. No social capital whatsoever.

      The list of conditions characterizing social depression consists of a combination of material conditions we’re subject to and the attitudes and beliefs that have contributed to and grown up around them.

      I think we could all make a separate list of those beliefs and attitudes, and that they would ultimately appear even more self defeating than the material conditions that confront us.

      At the top of my list would be the belief I’ve encountered countless times, often told by parents to children: You can be anything you want. This is a toxic belief and an outright lie, and sets us up for a lifetime of anger and frustration. It also leads directly to bizarre manifestations like the trans movement, and the belief that everything who failed at being a nuclear physicist is a victim of discrimination.

      I’ve mentioned before that I used to work with children who were out of control and about to enter the juvenile justice system. Never a day went by when I didn’t see an adult telling a child who was quite incapable of understanding the rules of a board game, for instance, that he could do anything. Yet, when he tried with all his might to understand this simple thing, he was quite unable and his anger and frustration were continually played upon by the thoughtless adults in the form of “encouragement.” Rather than noticing his inability and encouraging him toward a task he might have mastered, and for which they could have praised him, they persisted with the lie.

      Even a child with quite a low IQ can understand that, if he is trying with everything he has and cannot master a given task, while being told he can “do anything,” the only possible conclusion is that the game is unfair and unjust.

      Of course, the game – in a wider sense – absolutely is unfair and unjust, but not in the way he thinks. Anyway, the point I’m trying to make is that harmful, toxic, stupid ideas flourish amid the widening income disparities and other material conditions on the list. The lowered material conditions, and the stupid, toxic beliefs feed each other and create a kind of paralysis that I think our ancestors, even a few generations back, never experienced.

    You’re defending Trump? His BS with classified documents puts our brave soldiers at risk, along with diplomats and ordinary citizens. He tried overthrowing the rule of law mostly because he’s too dumb to admit that Mail-in voting during a pandemic makes good sense. My hope is that he gets to take the place of the late Ted Kaczynski in The Unabomber’s now vacant cell. Ted’s manifesto makes way more sense than anything tRump has ever said. Too bad Ted didn’t stop with words instead of sending letter bombs. That’s crossing a line. tRump crossed the same line when he urged his dumbos to storm the Capitol. What a fool.

            @ MaryQueen:

            “Why the need to hit them in the head?’

            It would be very difficult to hurt a goat by hitting it in the head. They are continually head-butting each other for social dominance reasons, and they have very hard heads. It is actually pretty hard to hurt a goat with anything short of hollow points.

            It is also very difficult to make an impression on a goat. They are absolutely impervious to correction. They are of the opinion that if you haven’t given them a beat-down, they are dominant animal of the two of you. They will head-butt you just for your having the effrontery to be somewhere near them. I have tried slapping them on the nose and scolding them. It makes no impression.

            Actually, I didn’t hit them hard–just pretty much of a tap–and most of the time I was standing on the porch trying to shoo them away from the roses. (They love to eat roses.) Being on the porch gave me an advantage because, to goats, being physically higher up than them signals social dominance.

            You definitely don’t want them in the garden. I’ve seen my daughter have to physically drag 200-pound goat away from the sweet potato greens. (They love those, too.)

            I was a little concerned about the car, too. They like to climb up onto cars and dance around.

          • Anthea June 11, 2023 at 11:49 pm #

            I have shot several rabbits this year, with the .22. Those little fuckers will eat your garden down to the ground, and they multiply like Catholics.

            My son-in-law is always killing possums or raccoons that have discovered how to get into the hen house. He uses the .32 pistol. Raccoons will actually keep clawing at the wood siding of a hen house until they have clawed their way through. They had to cover part of the exterior of the hen house with chicken wire.

            Shooting varmints and devising ways to manage livestock (hotwire is the best option) is indeed an integral part of country life. But, despite your best efforts, the critters have a way of getting out. One of my friends used to say that, “A calf can get through a knothole.”

            But Jarek doesn’t eat food, so none of this applies to him.

          • Anthea June 12, 2023 at 12:12 am #

            Speaking of food, I picked this year’s first ripe tomatoes today–two of them. They were probably ripe yesterday, but it rained most of the day.

            For those who aren’t familiar with our local growing season, it’s quite an accomplishment to get field-ripened tomatoes this early here. The variety is Stupice, which is the earliest tomato I know of, and the plants were started indoors in January.

            Last year I started seeds for Rutgers tomatoes. These produced two different varieties of tomatoes, neither of which was Rutgers. But I really liked one of the two varieties, which was fairly early, brilliant red, ruffled, and highly productive, so I saved the seed and planted it this year. No ripe tomatoes from it yet, but it looks like it came true from seed.

      ATZ – everything you just said was completely false (except for noting that Kaczynski is now “late”, and that he was very intelligent, his proclivity for bombing notwithstanding).

      Not only that, by saying, “He tried overthrowing the rule of law mostly because he’s too dumb to admit that Mail-in voting during a pandemic makes good sense.“, you seem to be admitting that mail-in voting can sway an election through fraud, as that was Trump’s beef. (Mail-in voting, by the way, was determined to be the simplest way to successfully defraud an election…Jimmy Carter himself noted this after chairing a study on the matter around 20 years ago.)

      Anyway, well played, sir. I suggest a nerf bat to the head every five minutes or so – it might clear those Maddow cobwebs after a few years of steady practice.

    Basically, you want to train the people to respond to every Order or message of the tyrannical Government with and/ or:

    “Why? Why? Why?”

    “No, No, No….”

    “ In general, we might take as an opening mantra something like ‘learn it first, learn it right’. One example of this, relevant to many policymakers (and parents!) is that it is important to give corrective feedback early when a problematic behaviour is developing. If a person breaks a rule, or does something ‘wrong’, and gets no reaction, that behaviour may soon become firmly established. Later on, when a sanction is introduced, it may have to be very severe to have any effect at all.”

            He’s also a conformist and fat arse desk worker in the heart of the “system” he poses as an enemy of.

            A braggart about his luxuries and abundances, typical of the nouveau riche and the bourgeois, he doesn’t mention the high price he pays for these perks: utter conformity.

            Perhaps this is why he’s a keyboard warrior, to compensate for his total lack of street cred. He’d never be mistaken for “real people” in the milieu I move in.

          AI? A rather broad-based question.

          If you are referring to its use in the form of ChatGPT and the like, I think it is useful for summarizing information.

          As far as its application in putting humans in the service industry (both white- and blue-collar service-oriented jobs), I think the ruling class is shooting itself in the foot.

          TBH, I don’t have a lot of interest in the subject because AI really can’t do much but quickly gather, collate, and disseminate information created by human beings. It is not and (IMO) will never be truly sentient.

          The list of negatives is too long to enter into one post.

    In the documentary “The AI Dilemma” the IT weirdo’s make the blithe assertion that “it’s too late to do anything about the negative effects of Social Media because the technology has already integrated into society, and it is part of people’s neural networks.”

    I still don’t understand what this blithe remark means?

    I get that the kids are now chemically addicted to the dopamine hits from the “Likes” comments to their posts, etc., and the “community” feeling to alleviate their profound social Anomie. But, I don’t understand the “neural networks” thing? It sounds like the IT weirdo’s are suggesting that the brains of these Smartphone addicted kids are somehow hard wired into the internet?

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder June 10, 2023 at 9:00 pm #

      Not hard wired, but wired inside their heads, for sure.

      Like an ex-smoker who still finds himself mindlessly reaching into his pocket for the pack even after several months clean, most everyone under the age of 40 responds to their phone the instant it beckons them, even if it’s just to delete some spam emails or worthless LinkedIn notifications.

      The addiction isn’t physical, it’s wired in the brain as “just what you do”.

      • Pucker June 10, 2023 at 9:10 pm #

        A crude principle of Chinese brainwashing is encapsulated in the maxim: “You must pull Weeds up by their roots.” (It was a peasant revolution.)

        This is why the Khmer Rouge killed not just the bloke with “Bad Thoughts”, but also all of his family and friends as well lest their bad thoughts contaminate the rest of the society.

        The “Social Media” would entrench very deep roots into people’s minds?

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder June 10, 2023 at 9:16 pm #

          Well, there are certain things our body just needs to do. And then there are the things our brain suggests we do.

          Adding addiction to that formula naturally creates the habitual performance of tasks unnecessary to survival.

          Now, if you were dopamine-addicted to taking a whizz in public, then that would fall into the second category.

          • Pucker June 10, 2023 at 9:35 pm #

            So, what will it mean in the future to say that AI is part of people’s neural networks and interacting with AI “is just what people do (like taking a wiz)”?

            It’s the “Ultimate Mind Control”?

            It’s no longer possible “to pull the Weeds up by their roots” when the structure of the Roots is a manifestation of the corrupted, polluted AI “Soil”?

            Everyone goes “Transgender” and “Transhumanist”?

    • SoftStarLight June 10, 2023 at 10:09 pm #

      It basically just means that your brain has created a neural map and structure that has integrated the existence of social media and the internet all of its impacts. It is really the same thing the brain does with everything else that you experience or come across. It’s not as scary as it sounds probably other than that now that we are used to it it would be difficult without it.

    • Woodchuck June 11, 2023 at 1:11 am #

      “hard wired”? “part of people’s neural networks”?

      We all make habitual movements that catch us off guard when the power goes off. We’ll be going about with flashlights and candles, yet at times we’ll have a brain hiccup. We’ll forget there’s no power, and find ourselves flipping up light switches and instantly feeling silly when no light comes on. We’ve flipped these switches so many thousands of times that we do it with muscle memory, zero thinking involved.

      We always assume it will only be a few hours or days when the power is back on. The idea of power being off for a month or two never enters our minds or is accepted as a valid possibility. Electricity is something we are now physically addicted to. Electricity is an extension of our bodies and minds, giving some of us a lot of leverage on the world. Rock n roll bands use electricity to churn up a real load of audio dopamine in the audiences.

      • BackRowHeckler June 11, 2023 at 6:40 am #

        We lost power for 13 days back in Oct. – Nov. 2011. For us out here it wasn’t that bad, altho it took some getting used to. What I missed the most was a hot shower; the Town finally opened up the HS facilities so we could shower there.

        In Hartford, things started to fall apart right away. People tried to heat their apartments and prepare meals with charcoal grills, and died from asphyxiation. There were fires. On I-91 hundreds of cars lined up to buy gas but the pumps weren’t functional. A riot ensued, people were shot & beaten up. Cars were set alight and what ensued was a picture from hell. And this was just on Day 2.

        • MaryQueen June 11, 2023 at 9:56 am #

    “ Back when the COVID-19 vaccine mandate was imposed in the US, the dates of Jamie working at a film set and on-set vaccination protocols kicking in are around the same time. It is entirely possible that Jamie Foxx was forced to get vaccinated against his will. As far as the rumor mill goes, there were reports that haven’t been verified about Jamie Foxx having a stroke on the set of ‘Back in Action’. To this day, Jamie Foxx hasn’t been spotted either in public or in private and he has only sent one post to his fans.”

So, They are banking on most people blocking out any thoughts that the Vaccine may kill them.

      So, you may want to put up signs everywhere that read:

    Dear JHK Admin,
    ” … federal attorney Jack Smith, new to the werewolf hunting scene, packing a seven-shot indictment of silver bullets, aiming to show America how it’s done. And just in case he misses those shots, he’s got another gun strapped to his ankle chambering silver bullets.”

    First off, that is a pretty big ankle gun–has to have a 28 round carrying capacity; well 27 with one in the chamber–I am guessing an AK-47 with an extra long banana clip? AR-15 instead? That is a mighty serious piece of artillery he is packing there. Must be hard to walk around with that thing in your trousers… Sorry–that is on the other leg! The other leg has the .38 Special or Derringer for 2 rounds… Right, … I wonder how he is able to walk? Especially with that pair he is dangling…

    The thing with metaphors is that they can be pretty dangerous. Especially when you want to make the case for Trump as werewolf (as seen through the eyes of the deranged left wing or through your own admiration for him(?)—you are not clear) … and especially given your reliance on Wikipedia to make the case. You want to be using the argument based on Mass Formation Psychosis if that is so—if you are claiming the left wing has lost it, I think. This is something you have turned to in the past, though doing so, just begs back the question: “So, looked in the mirror. lately?” He is not a werewolf to the Left. As far as I can tell, the Left doesn’t comprehend Trump as a werewolf. The Left understands Trump to be a narcissistic much diminished though still dangerous figure who is looking for some way that will keep him out of gaol even if it brings the country apart. It is his supporters that are dangerous, including those in government and outside actively calling for rebellion and/or civil war.

    So, I will take a speculative at your missive and suggest that the werewolf image is about how you see Trump rather than how the the Left wing comprehends him. That is funny to me Why? Because the Identity Disorder you mention is about how you might feel about yourself. This language is used to describe gender dysphoria folks who see themselves as Other to the gender that they have been assigned. So, you describe Trump Is the same language used to “diagnose” transgender folks. I think that quite appropriate.

    Let us take you at your word though, JHK Admin–Trump the [transgender] werewolf, growling, cornered, and getting ready to strike. I think all that hair is quite becoming, don’t you? Queue Warren Zevon…
    Cheers

      It looks like the great Ukrainian Spring Counteroffensive has already failed, as most of us knew it would (except for General’s Milley & Hodges) Ukrainian formations are being wiped out & whatever armor they deployed is being destroyed on the battlefield. It’s hard to believe that NATO would encourage these WW2 style assaults without air support ~ apparently Ukraine has no Air Force. It seems suicidal.

      What’s next for Ukraine now? Just a few days ago Biden announced another “Aid Package”, a further 2 or 3 billion dollars. Some people are speculating that the arrest of President Trump at this particular time was for the purpose of of giving media cover for the colossal failure in Ukraine, which the Administration knew was imminent; here we are talking about Trump and not the debacle in the Donbas, another Biden loss following up the disaster in Afghanistan.

      • JohnAZ June 11, 2023 at 10:04 am #

        Russia is showing its aims right now. They have primary and secondary defensive capability in their areas taken over. They are settled in and capable of destroying any attempt to retake territory by Ukraine, NATO and Biden.

        Talk about backing the wrong horse. The USA has batted .000 since WW2.

        The broken dam that is flooding Ukraine forms a lake that feeds a canal system that feeds water to the Crimea. I haven’t heard a word about who did it, and what the effect is on Crimea.

        After the Ukraine loses all the latest round of weaponry it has been given, I wonder what Russia will do in return? Is Odessa in the cross hairs? Well it’s acquisition and the cutting off of Kiev from the Black Sea end this debacle once and for all?

        This is the biggest embarrassment for the USA yet, I wonder what Biden will do to try to pull out defeat from the jaws of victory? It will be a wonderful thing to see the Ukrainian Biden empire collapse along with the China side to. It would be wonderful to see the Biden Mob crushed by BRICS++.

        No one, not a single US entity has discussed what happens when, not if, the Ukraine proxy collapses. Russia has some of our best weaponry for reverse engineering. The idea of drone and other high tech weapons for offensive warfare is showing its inability to counter old fashioned boots on the ground. IOW, the entire US NATO battle plan is a useless joke.

        Germany attacked Russia striking through Ukraine to get at the Caspian “oil well”. The US through NATO is trying the same thing, trying to weaken Russia and gain more control of the world oil market.

        We are losing, just as Germany did. I believe that Ukraine is the initial battle between the US Europe consortium and BRICS++. BRICS++ 1, US 0.

        Another more political economic battle has started between the two, PGA LIV golf debacle. The US PGA is being overwhelmed by its members wanting bucks from the wealthier ME golf organization. This war is being fought on many grounds.

          Tank warfare is obsolete. Open warfare, Patton style, is being compromised by defensive weaponry that one or two men can engage with. This trend started in Afghanistan in the 80s when Russia was stopped by the Afghanis and their US built defensive weapons. Javelins stopped the initial tank advance on Kiev, and hand held antiaircraft weapons can knock down lots of planes and especially helicopters. Defense is winning now. It took Russia lots of losses to take Crimea and Donbas, but they are now in the defensive driver’s seat. They have their buffer zone and they have proven the US weapons less than effective.

        This week an article was released saying long term Covid may be caused by the virus or pieces of the virus lying dormant in the body, like Zoster with shingles. I believe the s protein has been detected in folks suffering long term symptoms, long after the mRNA proponents say it should be eliminated by the immune system.

        Add these two possibilities together and the vaxx maybe just a method to perpetuate ongoing inflammation for the life of the host. How these viruses can “hide” is unknown.

        • MaryQueen June 11, 2023 at 1:04 pm #

          The vaxx was just a way to introduce even more immune system destroying poison, just in a bigger dose.

          We get it every day from other various sources.

          • JohnAZ June 11, 2023 at 4:27 pm #

            Agreed, but my point was that the damage to the host may be done by the injection of the first mRNA dose lodging itself into cells and changing them. The latest data shows the possibility that the virus or “pieces of it” could be dormant and permanent.

            What a great choice the s protein was as the immune antigen.

            Not just stupidity but huge risk taking for the public for the folks coming up with the mRNA Covid vaxx.

            How to stop these people, mRNA is showing up everywhere.

      Uh oh. It just came over the local news that somebody defaced the massive BLM/George Floyd mural in Hartford. The Mayor is on it, stating this will not stand and he’s directed the Chief of Police not to spare any resources in solving this dastardly Hate Crime … undoubtedly the work of White Supremacists. Here’s the thing, tho. The mural is located in an area that hasn’t seen a white face since the race riots of 1968; combine that with the fact that about the last 6 Hate Crimes around here have proven to be enormous hoaxes, and I smell a rat. Irregardless, hoax or no hoax, let this be a “teachable moment” and use this as an opportunity to challenge “Systemic Racism” & “White Fragility”. In those Insurance Companies downtown — the ones that haven’t departed yet — Struggle Sessions might be in the offing, where mostly White woman get emotional and admit guilt for something that never happened, and they had nothing to do with.

          Haddam to Hartford is quite a distance, at least 30 miles, pretty far to travel to deface a fading 3 year old BLM/George Floyd mural nobody gives a sh#t about anymore. Hartford, formerly a prosperous, staid Yankee city, is now covered with colorful giant murals painted everywhere, public art they call it, picturing African, Hispanic and Marxist characters in heroic poses … Che Guevara & Malcolm X are fan favorites. Inveterate Yankee that Lovecraft was, had he been around today, I think he might have found the place an interesting study in its 3rd world decay, and horror.

    Rest in Peace: Human Rights Activist Ted Kaczynski Dead at 81
    Andrew Anglin June 11, 2023

    American philosopher, political activist, and folk hero Ted Kaczynski was found dead in his prison cell on Saturday. He was 81.

    Kaczynski, who is commonly known to Americans as “Uncle Ted,” is believed by many to be one of the greatest minds of the 20th century, and one of the most fundamentally American philosophers. He had been unjustly imprisoned since 1996, when he was arrested for various activist activities.

    Uncle Ted was born in Chicago on May 22, 1942, to Polish parents. His father was a sausage maker. In the fifth grade, Uncle Ted tested 167 on an IQ test. This means he was smarter than 99.9985889129% of people on the earth. That is to say: he was what is known as a “super genius” or a “mega mind.”

    Fun Fact: Uncle Ted was more than three times more intelligent than the second most intelligent Polish person.

    Uncle Ted had a troubled childhood, being bullied by moronic peasants, and having trouble fitting in with such trash. He was accepted into Harvard University at the age of 15, and began studying at the school at 16.

    During his time at Harvard, he was subjected to a brutal behavioral study that turned out to be part of the CIA’s MK-Ultra mind control program. They exploited his social insecurities in their testing of how to break down a human mind. At one point, he was told to write down all of his hopes and dreams in an essay, and then random people mocked and insulted him based on these hopes and dreams. Henry Murray, the CIA operative who conducted the study, said that the verbal attacks were meant to be “vehement, sweeping, and personally abusive.”

    Ted was recorded while being abused in this manner, and then the footage of his reaction was played back to him repeatedly. These sessions of abuse would take place weekly for 3 years, with our good Uncle spending more than 200 hours involved in the study.

    What the CIA pigs did not realize was that it was Uncle Ted who was doing the studying. He was studying the deranged and sadistic psychology of the domesticated and over-socialized human being. Later on in life, university professors would be a prime target of his political activism, as he well understood the kind of scum that inhabits these hives of villainy.

    After graduating from Harvard, Uncle Ted earned his master’s and doctorate degrees in the field of mathematics at the University of Michigan. He specialized in complex analysis, specifically geometric function theory. Ted’s 1967 dissertation “Boundary Functions” won the Sumner B. Myers Prize for Michigan’s best mathematics dissertation of the year. His doctoral advisor, Allen Shields, hailed it as “the best I have ever directed,” while Maxwell Reade, a member of the dissertation committee, said, “I would guess that maybe 10 or 12 men in the country understood or appreciated it.”

    More than 10 or 12 men would understand his later work. His magnum opus, “Industrial Society and Its Future,” is one of the most widely read and cited works of American philosophy. However, the understandings he reached, and the conclusions he drew in that text, would only be possible after he’d exited the technological system.

    In 1969, he resigned from his position as an assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley. He briefly lived with his parents before moving to Montana to live a simple life in a cabin in the woods. He would ride his bike into town and visit the local library, where he would read classic literature in their original languages. The 1990 census describes Ted’s cabin as containing a bed, two chairs, and a lot of books.

    He was a big reader of political philosophy, and would ultimately identify with the writings of French Christian-Anarchist philosopher Jacques Ellul. Ted’s brother David said that Ellul’s “The Technological Society” was like Ted’s “Bible.” In a 1998 interview, Ted said of the book, which was titled “La Technique” in the original French: “When I read the book for the first time, I was delighted, because I thought, ‘Here is someone who is saying what I have already been thinking.’”

    Ted’s own great work was in large part a summary of Ellul’s work. However, having read both, I can say that Ted’s work is much better, and not simply because it is more accessible. There are also various added insights that Ted offers that Ellul missed, including various details about the botched nature of modern human psychology and interpersonal relationships.

    Ted was upset about the endless expansion of the meaningless society of the Western world, and in 1978, began engaging in political activism. Contrary to popular belief, only three people died as a result of his activist activities. He has never shown any kind of feelings over the deaths, but it should be known that the purpose was not actually to kill people, but rather to build up hype for his book, which would be published in the Washington Post on September 19, 1995.

    “Industrial Society and Its Future” was one of the books most influential on my personal development. I read it at the age of 24. It led me to read Ellul’s work, which triggered a thought process which would ultimately lead me to the conclusions I came to in my later 20s. As the long time reader is aware, those conclusions have remained more or less completely static since I began publishing the Daily Stormer ten years ago.

    It would be improper to try to summarize Ted’s book and its effects on me here. It is a book about the way technological development has affected human and natural systems. It contains a level of insight into the state of modern man that is really beyond comparison, save for my own work (I say that humbly, and with full credit to Ted). It gave me a framework for viewing the world we live in that has not changed.

    It has been a while since I read through the document in full, so I plan to do so in the near future, and will write another series of articles about it. The full text is available here. I highly recommend it.

    What has changed most about me since I began this website is that I’ve become much more Christian in orientation. In some ways, Christianity is a spectrum, and the closer we come to the truth, the closer we come to Jesus Christ. It took me a long time to really internalize this fact.

    Obviously, what I’ve written above is slightly tongue-in-cheek in places. I certainly do not agree with mail bombing random people, and do not believe this was legitimate political activism. What I believe is that Ted was a genius who was very damaged by society. I believe that though he sought the truth, and found a lot of it, he never came to the full truth of Jesus Christ, and therefore he took actions based on an incorrect morality.

    I do not believe in the kind of primitivism that Ted promoted, simply because I do not believe it is possible. I went through a phase of believing in it, but ultimately lost faith in the basic premise. This technology exists, and there is no way to remove it, even if that were desirable. For the most part, it is desirable. If I could push a button and take the world back to a static pre-industrial world, I would certainly do so. But it simply does not make sense in practical terms. Even if civilization were to totally collapse, the seeds of technological civilization would not be fully destroyed. What’s more, even if all of this was destroyed, white people would just invent it all again, and the process would begin again.

    That having been said, there is nothing in Ted’s book that is wrong. It’s all very true. However, just as Ted did not understand Christ, he did not understand the Jewish problem, and the role that Jews have played in the direction of technological society. Jews are entirely urban creatures, and they never could have risen to their current level of power without technological society. But just so, if it were not for the Jews, technological society could and would have developed in an entirely different direction. If it were not for the Jews, development over the last 200 years would have been guided by Christian principles, and the development of technology would have been limited by the natural law found in Christian philosophy.

    Without the light of Christ, there is no way to come to the whole truth. If Ted had been a Christian, he would have worked to redirect society, instead of living in a cabin and sending people bombs. If he’d been a priest leading a religious revival in America, he could have completely changed the world. In the 1970s, America had a hope that no longer exists.

    Ted was a gentle soul who was deeply harmed by this society, in particular by the educational institutions, which are anti-intelligence. Though I am being very honest about my love of his book, I think his life should be looked at as a tragedy. This was a man with virtually limitless potential, given to him by God, and that potential ultimately amounted to very little.

    We are all broken without God. Ted was a genius, and without God, he forfeited what could have been a wonderful life. This is true of all of us: it is only with Jesus Christ that we can live the lives that God intended for us to live. Each of us has two paths in front of us – the life that God planned when he created us, and the abyss of the material world.

    It should be noted: although Ted’s brother said that “Technological Society” was Ted’s Bible, he owned a King James Bible.

    Among the verses he highlighted in the Bible were the 23rd Psalm.

    We will never know how close he came.

    Ted’s death should be a time for all of us to reflect. His understanding of the workings of this society was incredible. He understood on the deepest level how broken humans are. I will say again: I attribute much of my own understanding to Ted, and the path he led me on. None of us could be where we are without those who came before us, as that is the way knowledge works. But he did not know why we are so broken, and therefore, he did not know how to fix us.

    I hope that sometime during his imprisonment, Ted Kaczynski made peace with God.

    I pray that he will rest in peace.

    Jarek: A fine eu-logy or good word by Anglin. And as he says, the best word of all is the Logos, or the Word that was made flesh and dwelt among us.

    A few caveats: The Greeks, Romans, and later the English were all intensely mercantile peoples. In other words, we might well have come to the same place without the Jews. It’s true they do very well in such societies, usually coming out on top in the end, being geared to do just that. But that’s another line of thought. That doesn’t negate the fact that some among our own people have the same desires and abilities, if not in equal proportion in the population.

    Uncle Ted had a nasty streak, sending letters to his victims mocking them.

    But an interesting and elevating piece in any case, highlighting Anglin’s development as well as Ted’s and the latter’s role in the former.

      Jarek,
      That position is arguable. It is true that weak men bring hard times. Industrialization freed men from the killing toil of survival.

    “There are seventeen full moons between now and the next election. A lot can happen, especially among the, let’s say, seventy percent of the public, who disapprove of all this werewolf craziness. The hunters might even find themselves flipped, horrifyingly, into the hunted.” ~ JHK

    This election cycle presents an opportunity, as Alan Dershowitz argued that the Mueller investigation should have been all encompassing (to include that which Durham investigated), to put a “horse” in front of the cart. If no one does it, once again, it will all amount to just a bunch of “noise”.

    How many times does the political opposition get to try to entrap an opponent at the expense of the general population? Is there no penalty for doing so? Oh, I forgot, we can just wait until all the next rigged election results are tallied.

    O.K. Enough is enough. We need this Country fixed! We need a leader who is strong and doesn’t take any proverbial BULLSHIT. We all know the answer to our problem but most of the people who post all the BULLSHIT WORD SALAD on this site won’t admit that there’s only one way to fix our problem. Don’t think the degenerates in Congress will save you. With a couple of weak exceptions, nobody in Congress is doing anything to give the J-6 prisoners some relief. Don’t kid yourself, our Congress is afraid of the population out there. They are anti-2nd Amendment and should be. They are fearful of the 1st and 2nd Amendments.
    The Congress is looking the other way on the J-6 prisoners to keep you from protesting their shenanigans.
    We have two parties, them and us!
    Honestly, President TRUMP with the right people on staff is our only hope. At lot of people agree with me at this point. Just look at the poles. We better rally around this man and fix this nation. He’s not perfect, but at this point we better look at the obvious!

    • beantownbill. June 11, 2023 at 6:08 pm #

      I can sympathize with your viewpoint. But how could Trump have consistently picked the wrong people? How come Trump hasn’t been publicly and loudly outraged at how the 1/6 people have become political prisoners, had their rights illegally taken away and be treated harshly while imprisoned?

      No, I think he’s not the person who could save America. Pick someone else.

    Today it was 83 degrees and sunny around these parts. It’s about time. See, if one can be patient, eventually good things will come. Remember change is the only thing that never changes.

    I’ve given up on people politically. It’s the height of idiocy or willful blindness that the citizenry isn’t in an uproar. How can Trump be indicted when Biden and his family haven’t been indicted too? Totally unjust, which makes me ashamed to be an American. Maybe it ought to be mandatory that US citizens visit somewhere else and see what the rest of the world really thinks of us.

      “How can Trump be indicted when Biden and his family haven’t been indicted too?”

      Beantownbill – on what specific charges do you believe that the Biden family should be indicted? There’s nothing but rumor & speculation, and the blanket assertion that the FBI & DoJ are hiding information I know, but that’s ALL they are – rumors & speculation. Even the 1023 document that everyone is squeaking about was dropped by the previous AG – and his name was Bill Barr – as being unfounded and unproven accusations only. What information do you have that Bill Barr doesn’t or didn’t?

          Shatner – there is just as much evidence, if not considerably more, against Biden & The Crew as there is against Trump. There is also just as little evidence, if not considerably less, against Biden & The Crew as there is against Trump.

          It’s all bullshit, and seeing only one side (and professing it to be truth) is a waste of time.

          It’s a game, and we shouldn’t be playing, as we have zero control over the outcome no matter what we pretend to know..

    Well Beantown Bill, who would you pick to lead?
    Are you in the Pence camp? Or are you hoping RFK JR. is the pick. Are you cheering on Michelle Obama? DeSantis is the best of the worst, ranks #2 well behind Trump.
    Things get done when you have a strong leader supported by the people. I believe Trump will not be taking advice from the RINO losers this time around. He’s learned his lesson trusting the likes of Mitch McConnell and Chris Christy. He has now had time to sort out those RINO’s that back stabbed him.
    Do what you want. America is a mostly free Country, so far.

      Well, for all our sakes I hope you are right. But I’m very tired of choosing the lesser of 2 evils. Or I would be if I ever were to vote. I just don’t believe in it. But if I ever did, I wouldn’t vote for Pence, Trump or DeSantis. I don’t trust them. Sorry, but that’s my feeling on the matter. I hope you’re joking about Michelle. The very idea gives me shivers.

    According to the big Mind Control Playbook, it’s very important that the Mind Control strategy be “Social” since most people just do and think whatever they think that other people do and think. (Yes, it’s totally banal and mindless, which explains a lot….)

    For example, the people really believed that the Vaccines are “Safe & Effective”, when on its face that blithe assertion cannot possibly be true since the “Vaccines” had never gone through and passed proper clinical trials. Even after it became obvious that the experimental vaccines did not stop transmission, people mentally couldn’t break out of the Mass Formation Psychosis that the vaccines are “Safe & Effective”. Fortunately, the “Spell” is now slowly wearing off….

    It is not clear what the minimum number of people are needed for the “Social” Witchcraft “Spell” to be effective? Whenever the stone-faced teenage Khmer Rouge soldiers would show up to drag people away, they’d always show up with a minimum group of 3 soldiers. So, the minimum Mind Control number may be 3?

    Maybe, rather than just meekly obeying the stone-faced Khmer Rouge automatons, perhaps what you should do is to invite them in politely for a quick snack of tasty, sugary pie, and then surreptitiously slip some rat poison into their pie? Then, you would now have 3 rifles, which are very “Handy”?

        The kind of behavior we are seeing is largely the result of the destruction of the family unit.

    Comment re the Sturgeon story:

    “6 hours ago

    I live in Scotland and Sturgeon’s huge popularity waned big time when her WEF led, Communist party (pretending to be about Independence so as to garner a lot of support), introduced a Trangender Bill allowing 14 year olds to change their gender without either parental consent or that of their local doctor. The Bill even states that parents who try and stop the mutilation of their own child would be imprisoned! While Sturgeon’s devolved government has enjoyed growing powers over everything from health to education this Transgender Bill is so opposed by the public that the Westminster government of the UK stepped in and have stopped it. That said, the Muslim who replaced Sturgeon as their new Braveheart ( an odd choice considering he is still an avowed Muslim and when he had his leaders induction ceremony he wore a full Muslim outfit, ditto his wife and children attending it), is determined to get this Transgender Bill put into Scottish law. Meanwhile rapists in Scotland who suddenly declare they are women are being sent to female prisons. Gates had private meetings with Sturgeon prior to and during Covid lockdowns, he did the same with the UK Prime Minister at that time, Boris Johnson, and the latest one. Gates continually flys in one of his thee private jets to meet with and update the WEF’s sock puppet government leaders of the West.

    Doesn’t matter if you are an American, Australian, Canadian, EU, NZ or UK citizen. Since 2020 we have all been homogenised into one gigantic, WEF run zone which is being turned into a technocratic gulag run along parallel lines to the regime the WEF are in love with, China. The entire West is being flooded with immigration on purpose so as to destroy all Western national identities. There will be no sovereign nations. Climate Change, Transgender policies, the proxy war with Russia are all being conducted, like Covid and its mRNA injections, to slowly cull and sterilise us and in the process to remove our liberties. They are all central to the Plandemic designed and launched by the WEF, in conjunction with China, in 2020. Welcome to hell.”

      Like many people, I read of Queen Nicola’s arrest with quiet joy. I’ll keep the more effusive joy until she’s sent to prison (if it happens, hence my joy currently being quiet). I’ll keep my joyful exultation for her being required to share a cell with a big intact hairy bloke identifying as a wummun (just a fantasy, obviously …).

      • GreenAlba June 12, 2023 at 9:05 am #

    Apparently that ChatGPT writes entire fake stories and articles by just matching particular words and phrases against its entire database of online content in which the same or similar words and phrases are used. Basically, it’s just gibberish that does not appear as gibberish to the human idiots.

    The humans are way, way, way “Out Gunned”….

    The AI recently came up with that Aliens visitation story that it placed in the media to see how people would react and to train the AI to do Alien invasion stories?

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder June 11, 2023 at 9:21 pm #

      Interesting. Wouldn’t be surprised.

      Including the audio recording of the 911 call, as well as the “police body cam footage” of the flash of light flying away.

      I can make both on my computer (as long as I kept it as grainy as they did)…AI could probably whip that up in about 10 seconds on assignment, ready for broadcast.

      • Pucker June 11, 2023 at 9:28 pm #

        X…i Ji…nping probably doesn’t know much about AI?

        Even the savvy Tucker Carlson seems to believe the Alien visitors story?

        • Rulo Deschamps June 11, 2023 at 9:33 pm #

          Perhaps Tucker was given a chance to be the champion of the contrarians for years, only if he’d toe the line when the biggest psy ops of them all’s time came?

          That time seems to be approaching.

          The alien visitors propaganda is a mindfuck. One can never believe what he’s told. One has to dive deeper and deeper, through layers of deception, and still won’t know what the fuck’s going on.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder June 11, 2023 at 10:20 pm #

            The movie “Signs” came out 21 years ago.

            The grainy footage of the 8 foot tall creature in Brazil at the kid’s birthday party was handily produced by the film technology of the time. Looked great.

            Kubrick’s 2001 was spectacular in defining what it must look and feel like in space, concepted and produced prior to the “moon landings” (sic).

            Anyone in visual/audio arts with a two-year degree can create deep fakes with enough clout to fool the majority, let alone Hollywood professionals with all the newest software to back it up. God knows who/what the alphabet agencies can concoct.

            Anyone that believes what is simply shown on a screen to be true in today’s world, particularly something that should obviously live in the “unbelievable realm”, is asking for it.

            The mass retarded want to believe the unbelievable is real. That which they can’t witness with their own eyes, or feel with their own soul. Anything to make life more interesting.

            Ignore.

        The recent hoax about 7- to10-foot aliens walking around some dude’s backyard in Vegas gives me hope that the ruling class are really going to go for it soon.

    This Moon of Alabama commenter has done a great job of summarizing scumbag Zelensky (“a bastard, but our bastard”)

    “Vladimir Zelensky, Russian Hero?

    During his tenure as president of (what remains of) THE Ukraine, Zelensky has wrecked THE Ukraine, but has achieved many great things… for Russia.

    Here are his main achievements in no particular order:

    • By being elected with the promise of ending hostilities, then immediately proceeding to escalate the conflict in the east, he thoroughly compromised what was left of Ukrainian democracy. He further demolished the Ukraine’s civic realm by banning all public media except for one government channel, banning all opposition and all Russian news sources and, in effect, establishing a totalitarian dictatorship.

    • By relentlessly shelling the civilians in the now Russian Donetsk and Lugansk regions, then, in the spring of 2022, threatening them with a genocidal assault, he provided Russia with an ironclad reason to start the Special Military Operation: to save civilian lives. By so doing, he helped to expand Russian territory by four very valuable provinces (Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson) and set the stage for the eventual addition of, among others, Nikolaev, Odessa, Kharkov, and Kiev regions.

    • He squandered $150 billion in foreign aid (much of it by the simple expedient of stealing it), expended a huge amount of military equipment and ammunition with nothing to show for it, and killed off 350 thousand Ukrainian soldiers (many of them Nazi war criminals), with possibly twice as many wounded.

    • He shrunk his country’s population by almost half, some of it moving to Russia, becoming Russian citizens and integrating productively into the Russian population while rest went to the European Union, becoming a major burden for the welfare budgets of EU countries.

    • By ordering Ukrainian troops to shell schools, kindergartens, hospitals and apartment buildings in universally recognized Russian regions such as Belgorod and by launching drone attacks directly on the Kremlin, he declared his government to be a terrorist organization, foreclosing any possibility of forcing Russia to negotiate a peace that would not be entirely on its own terms.

    • He demonstrated the superiority of Russian weapons and military technique over NATO’s, most recently with Russia’s destruction of one of the Patriot missile batteries provided by the US. Almost every bit of equipment the West has been able to provide to the Ukrainians has been shown to be inferior to its Russian counterpart.

    • He gave the Russian army ample opportunities to perfect their techniques for defeating NATO forces, venturing into new areas of drone warfare and battlefield surveillance from geostationary satellites. This will no doubt be very useful both in opposing NATO and in boosting future weapons sales to non-Western nations that wish to be free from Western oppression and meddling.

    • He sold some of the weapons he received from the US to Mexican drug cartels, leaving US officials with no other choice than closing their eyes and pretending that this did not happen. Perhaps they will also be forced to look the other way as these cartels make use of these weapons to take over more and more of US cities and towns.

    • He played host to many high-ranking Western officials, whom, on their to visit to Kiev, he presented with lavish presents such as suitcases of foreign aid money he had laundered, which these officials then brought home in diplomatic baggage, thus collecting blackmail material on all of them.

    • He set an example for other Russian Jews whose bad luck had caused them to end up in the Ukraine rather than in Russia by resettling his parents in a posh neighborhood in Israel. But he kept his wife by his side, where she did a good job demoralizing the Ukrainian population by squandering more money on a single European shopping spree than most Ukrainians see in several lifetimes, all paid for by the US taxpayer. She also worked hard to gaslight Western officials by making them accept at face value and repeat ridiculous tales, such as the one about Russian troops being issued viagra, for them to better rape Ukrainian women.

    • Zelensky is sometimes incautious; for instance, he got caught appointing operatives from Russia’s Federal Security Service (former KGB) to sensitive posts within the Ukrainian defense establishment, although it is unclear whether what’s left of the Ukrainian judiciary will be capable of prosecuting him.

    • One of his greatest achievements was in placing the US and NATO in a zugzwang. This is a chess term for a situation in which a player has a choice of several moves, all of which lead to defeat. The US and NATO can either continue supporting the Ukraine, or they can stop supporting the Ukraine; in either case, they will lose.

    • Perhaps his greatest achievement of all was in helping Russia turn away from its hostile neighbors in the West and toward friendly countries in Asia, Middle East, Africa and Latin America, cutting its economic, financial and cultural ties to the West and freeing itself from Western influences. His unwavering support for Ukrainian Nazis, whose emblems, insignia and slogans are styled after Nazi Germany and whose heroes are Nazi collaborators, coupled with the lavish support they received from the West, whose leaders chose to turn a blind eye toward their fascist proclivities, cemented in view of the Russians the view of the West as their existential enemy: a fascist, racist entity determined to destroy Russia but too weak and cowardly to do the job themselves.”

      Uh, looks like the poster plagiarized Orlov…

      It’s a good read, still.

      • Night Owl June 12, 2023 at 3:48 am #

        You didn’t know because you never read Orlov.

        Is anyone surprised?

        • Islander June 12, 2023 at 7:50 am #

          I read Orlov whenever I can find him, but am no longer on the Patreon thing—can’t recall why, but it was not working for me. Perhaps I couldn’t open it.

          I think this Orlov rundown was posted at MoA but perhaps it was posted elsewhere.

          Meanwhile here is a pretty depressing prognosis from Tom Luongo:

          httpX://tomluongo.me/2023/06/06/there-never-was-an-offramp-ukraine/

          It seems fairly likely that NATO will try to achieve some military objective under “cover” of the war games and then blame Russia.

          • Rulo Deschamps June 12, 2023 at 8:52 am #

            Islander, I haven’t read his more recent pieces either, but since I’m in community gardens, I read his acct of that sort of small ag helping them go through collapse after 1989. And other pieces, too. But I couldn’t have known this was his, as it was unattributed.

        • Rulo Deschamps June 12, 2023 at 8:50 am #

          I did read Orlov, you imbecile. Now say LOL and fuck off.

    • BackRowHeckler June 11, 2023 at 10:15 pm #

      About the weaponry provided to Ukraine, its turning up on both sides of the Civil War in Sudan as well. I dare say, with the tons of ordnance left behind in Afghanistan and what’s been sent to Kiev, criminal gangs, terror cells, and narcotics cartels will be well stocked with lethal weapons for the next 25 years.

        The MIC that Eisenhower warned the US about being the big winner, of course.

        Imagine all that $ invested in granting 40 acres and a mule, plus training in organic farming, carpentry and small manufacturing to millions here… or invested in securing the border and funding trade schools for “disadvantaged youths”… or invested in reviving railroads and waterways as the most efficient ways of transportation (as per JHK)

        What exactly is the “Ass-Hoff Battalion”?

        Apparently, the US has been literally giving hundreds of billions of US dollars to some nebulous group of weirdo’s called the “Ass-Hoff Battalion”.

        Do our elected politicians in Congress know this?

    This is an extremely interesting story:

    httpX://dailysceptic.org/2023/06/11/who-owns-biontech-no-its-not-bill-gates-or-the-chinese-communist-party/

    It certainly seems to implicate the German Government along with the WHO in the covid vaccine scam.

      Angela Merkel? Apparently the Strüngmann twins who made the most from the venture are not in the photo. The timing is certainly odd all things considered. They all appear pleased to be achieving their goals?

    • Night Owl June 12, 2023 at 3:46 am #

      Biontech is another front org. just like Moderna. The 5 EYES-based defense industry owns all of this stuff, IMO.

      Merkel is a Schwabian traitor to her people.

        • Night Owl June 12, 2023 at 7:53 am #

          At present yes, I think they are. T

          I pointed this out as early as 2020, when those videos of Schwab were circulating where he talks of infiltrating government cabinets with puppets like Macron and Trudeau.

      • Islander June 12, 2023 at 7:52 am #

        So you think that who actually owns it?

        The SEC listings are made up?

        Or what?

        • Night Owl June 12, 2023 at 7:55 am #

          It already came out that Moderna was created by the DOD to market the death shots, IIRC.

          Pfizer is an actual company, but there is clearly all kinds of contractual shennanigans going on behind the scenes. From what I have learned, they simply manufacture a product they did not actually create.
