“Joe Biden” will interrupt his moveable vacation — for now, back in Wilmington, DE — to speak to the nation early this (Friday) afternoon. Will he dig himself deeper into the hole that the Taliban tossed him in, or just throw in the towel on running the executive branch of the government (if that’s what he’s been doing)?
Let’s face it: “Joe B’s” actual doings in the White House these seven months are as mysterious as last week’s blitzkrieg through Afghanistan by the Taliban. What does Ol’ White Joe actually do all day after his managers “call a lid” on his official duties at 8:30 in the morning? Gab with Hunter about family business on a secure phone? Watch Joy Behar and her gang on TV? We-the-people are unaware that the “president” has any hobbies or avocations. Golf? Apparently not. Stamps? Please! Or does he just sit in a comfortable chair on the second-floor casting what is left of his mind back on those dear dead days of his fabled Scranton boyhood?
Can you really imagine Kamala Harris in the Oval Office? I doubt Kamala herself can. Anyway, someone up and dispatched her off to Singapore and Vietnam this week, as if on-cue (get her outta town, pronto…things will be a little hairy around here). Presumably she will return to the USA in the fullness of time, without any untoward accidents involving Air Force Two. But what if the veep, for reasons of her own (say, “nerves”), throws in a towel, too? Who else happens to be constitutionally in-line for Commander-in-Chief in case the whole 2020 ticket bows out? Why, the Speaker of the House, of course, Ms. Nancy Pelosi, the world’s leading model of outfit-matching face-masks. What a career-capper that will be! Better stock up the White House freezer with Jeni’s-brand mango-cheesecake swirl gourmet ice-cream and gird your loins for a fusillade of executive orders making outlaws of everyone living between the Falls of the Potomac and the Embarcadero.
The news media may wonder whether Afghanistan is heading back into the twelfth century, but many of us here are wondering whether this country will remain in the twenty-first. The cable TV channels crackle with existential angst. The USA seems to have made itself the chump of chump nations. We are so easily faked-out! Our gazillion-dollar military and Intel Community got owned by savages in sandals, for Gawdsake! Ten-thousand Americans (or more!) sit stranded in Kabul while Pashtun horsemen joyride above the city in purloined Blackhawk helicopters! We abandon our allies and obligations! We are not to be trusted (even by ourselves). What is to be done?
Nobody knows, or if they do, they’re not telling. One senses a descent into a season of extraordinary national disorder. One hears whispers of an alt.military Trump-leaning cabal lurking at the margins, waiting to seize power. What else is there? Appeal to Pakistan to call off their dogs? Because, after all, it was Pakistan who virtually created the Taliban, and who planted Osama Bin Laden in Kandahar, and then harbored him in Abbottabad after the Yanks arrived next door in 2001 to root him out of some mythical cave (and failed to, having sub-contracted the actual job to the Pashtun mounties, an outfit with certain motivational problems).
Jimmy Carter was undone by a mere fifty-two hostages in Iran, 1979, but this fiasco is orders of magnitude greater. The Taliban could easily put an end to the whole question of extracting the thousands of Americans stuck in Af-stan just by firing a few RPG rounds onto the runway of Hamid Karzai International Airport. After that, would they go about the grisly business of beheading any Afghani who so much as took a stick of gum from an American?
“Graveyard of Empires,” indeed. Rome waited a few centuries to collapse but America seems to be demonstrating we can git’er done in just a couple of years. And, beyond these questions of global hegemony, there is the matter of what happens here in the so-called Homeland. The Covid-19 vaccine-and-masking hysteria is coming to a head. The school boards are getting an earful about race-based everything in the curriculum. Certain state governors and mayors seem determined to destroy what remains of small business. A mutiny is brewing against Bill de Blasio’s new semi-lockdown in New York City. Gavin Newsom is about to be tossed into the North Pacific Gyre. Any moment, the Arizona election audit will issue a preliminary report, said to be shocking. Financial markets are in the wobble-zone. Supply lines are down for many parts of things needed to run daily life in this land. And millions are wondering anxiously now: what really are the latent effects of those jabs?
Things are shaking loose all over the place. As Bob Dylan once said, the order is rapidly fading (and he’s even older than “Joe Biden.”) Everyone I know has got the heebie-jeebies. Nobody is at the controls of this outfit as we sail into the fog.

Since there doesn’t seem to be a sequel to the last 18 months, I suppose that the PTB will consider reprising them. Seems like they’ve got the health crisis all queued up with the Delta variant, so that angle is cover. The cost of gasoline has spiked – that should provide lots of financial angst. And then I’m sure riots can be pretty easily ginned up. And just for good measure, we’ve just dumped Afghanistan like yesterdays squeeze. Echoes of the Soviets. Did not our host JHK take note that just a short while after the Soviet exit from Afghanistan, USSR collapsed? Maybe the reason we exited Afghanistan so hurriedly is because we’re broke. That’s sufficiently simple reason, so it might just be the case.
At least the Russians didn’t allow thousands of Afghan refugees to immigrate to Russia when they pulled out. I guess we can continue to fight them here as well.
Right. While your exceptionality Justified blowing their villagers to smithereens “over there” for 2 decades. Poor you!
Talk about entitled. Holy shit!
There will be a reckoning. TruStory
Russian leaders look out for Russians, ours don’t.
Russian leaders have always been the worst exploiters of their own people and certainly are today.
It was the Soviet Union, not Russia.
One of the first C-17’s out of Kabul had about 800 Afghan men on it.
I wonder if these men think they can re-locate to Duluth and tie little boys to their beds and make them sex slaves like they did back home?
American soldiers were ordered to look the other way and ignore the screams of the boys:
http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=62478
Yes the worst of the absolute worst cultures the only other practice we abhor more is cannibalism.
Nothing good is coming out of Afghanistan to a small town near you.
It is hard to tell what the hell happened but I suspect the ‘reasons’ why this Afg ‘withdrawal’ happened will be terrifying. So far, I have only random ideas in my foggy brain like… “There is no one in control. The house is empty. The lights are on. Governance is no more.”
Computers were simply left on desks in the embassy, and now the Taliban has the names, addresses, and phone numbers of every Afghan who worked for us. The Taliban has blocked the entrance to the airport, and desperate people were climbing fences topped with razor wire to pass babies and small children to British soldiers. By report, some were trying to throw their infants over, and babies were landing in the wire with ghastly results. Who knows how many thousands of Americans are trapped there, and I believe some have their families with them. The Biden administration was planning on charging the trapped US citizens 2000 dollars apiece for rescue, but abandoned the idea, as that was a balloon that didn’t float.
The entire withdrawal has been so staggeringly inept that it would be funny if it weren’t so appalling. The only conclusion I can come to is that it was purposeful. Perhaps it was done at the behest of China. They are certainly planning to capitalize on it. I’ll bet Taiwan is shaking in their boots, now realizing we won’t come to their aid in the case of invasion. If the Chicoms take that place, and they will, we are going to be screwed in ways too numerous to mention. The Japanese have changed the cover of the Defense of Japan manual from an attractive graphic of a pink Mt. Fuji to a black and white drawing of a samurai in full mail on a rearing horse, katana in hand. It just screams aggression and testosterone.
I doubt if the petro dollar can withstand this blow. When it goes, it will go suddenly and everybody’s digital wealth will go pouf. Actual paper money may be taken for a while, but who has much of that? I can only pray to God that, broke, and unable to pay with anything recognizable as money, our government will be too occupied to concern itself with us.
Wait! The Tal are in the embassy?
Amman: Yep. Probably applying for visas. They hate we Satan pig dogs but desperately want to go to dental school in Dearborn.

I think this sentiment is the root of a lot of the dark suspicions and conspiracy theories we read about so widely these days. IMHO, it is rooted in hope and optimism: Things are so bad in the leadership department these days that we really, really HOPE it is all being done on purpose by some evil cabal–Which could then be exposed and sent packing! Alas, I no longer believe that’s the case. The leadership truly is that inept, uncaring and clueless, and they will not be any help to us. No help from Democrats, none from Republicans. It is time to get what resources you can and manage them wisely, because that’s all the help we are likely to get.
Yes, I would classify that opening statement as ‘imaginary.’ If only to play it safe.
I do think it’s being done on purpose. Except the cabal isn’t the one inhabiting our white house.
Indeed. I’ve been thinking for some time that Afghanistan has simply become unaffordable for a government that will soon face the dire prospect of struggling simply to make the enormous interest payments on the rapidly ballooning national debt.
Belt tightening in overseas adventures is a sure sign of an empire nearing its end. Same thing happened to the Brits between 1940 -1980. They hardly even have much of a military left anymore, much less any colonial possessions.
I think it’s Brown University that has the Cost of War Project that’s pegged the cost of the Afghan War Crime at $2.3 Trillion. Mumbly Joe admits a mere 1$ Trillion. Let’s go with two.
That’s $273 Million Dollars a day .
Some $780 Million of that has been spent promoting “Women’s Issues”. The Puppet Afghan Government had a Quota of 20 odd percent women.
Just what did these fuckwits expect?
In a Just World any American who has had anything to do with this in any capacity whatsoever would have a hand amputated.
Ah, who cares!? A Trillion dollars? It’s just a small charge to a Really Big Outfit!
An apt comparison, Wizard. This is our “Suez Canal” moment.
AKlein, Your suggestion that the correct reason for what appears to be a hurried U.S. exit from Afghanistan, might also be the simplest: ‘being broke’. However, though you and I might know what being broke means in personal terms: our wallets are empty and we start looking around for things to cash-in.
At the same time, while Russia was always too big and substantial to collapse, the USSR did fail. My understanding is at least part of the reason for this was the inability of the Soviets to borrow any more so-called ‘hard-currency’ from the West.
So: my question is: what’s the backstory to the current situation in the United States? What’s going on behind the scenes that might account for the U.S.’s supposedly gitty-up exit from Afghanistan?
Edit to above: However, though you and I might know what being broke means in personal terms: our wallets are empty and we start looking around for things to cash-in, broke-ness definitely doesn’t manifest in nation-states in exactly the same way. Things play out differently.
The real game-changer will be when the Talibs shoot down a passenger /transport jet with one of the many “manpads” that we gave them. RPGs aren’t that big of a deal, but those jetliners are absolutely sitting ducks, and it would be impossible to say who fired it.
Any way you look at it, the Big Guy’s Kabul Klusterfuck is and will be a total disaster, both for him and our country. It’s brought us to our knees, pleading with the Taliban for mercy. A good, hard kick in the nuts! A DISASTER!
[Afghanistan is heading back into the twelfth century] or perhaps the 22nd courtesy of Russia, China, Iran and several Stans, who are real countries and not a chimera as we have become.
Watch for good things as the Afganis become recognized every place but here.
Taliban means students and see how quickly they learn to rule minus the US the savior nation.
Real countries pfft.
They just have leadership that does what they want and is not pushing the ridiculous nonsense wokester bullshit.
Ashamed: as always, we wonder whether it’s all part of The Plan to destroy America from within, or just plain incompetence. Who knows? But the result is remarkably the same, whatever the underlying factors. This can’t go on for another 3 and a half years. Something has to give!
The prospect of another three and a half years of this type of “governance” is beyond terrifying. The country literally may not make it to the 2024 presidential election without dissolving.
Let’s call the feeling the HUNTER SYNDROME, yes?

Blaming Little Joe for the flustercluck that’s playing out in Stan right now it easy, fun and convenient because it allows the people to continue to avoid taking their part of the responsibility for what they have allowed to happen.
well said
CHUMPITUDE!
Big, big fan of JHK but the article implies that Rome invaded Afghanistan before its decline and collapse. In my brief research, I find no indication that Rome invaded. Am I missing something?
Hardrock– Yeah, you pretty much did not comprehend that paragraph I wrote… which did not suggest anything about Rome invading Afghanistan. –JHK Admin
Many, many other empires tried and failed so the point remains that the US picked a bad fight.
Keep up the great writing James!
I don’t think he even implied a Rome in Afghanistan scenario. Just comparing time to collapse between U.S. empire and Rome.
Parataxis
To what empires does “Graveyards of Empires” refer? This phrase led off that paragraph.
I don’t want to quibble over minor details so if you say I misunderstood your intent, I accept that reprimand but I think mine was a reasonable interpretation and I was just trying to learn something that I thought I missed.
Please accept my apology…I won’t question you again.
Don’t feel Bad. I had the exact same misunderstanding, Hardrock. I, too, was off to do some Research as Rome never got that East.

Regardless, this morning’s essay was BRILLIANT, Mr K! You have captured the moment like a Polaroid sitting on the coffee table developing.
It was very good. I would not want him to stop reporting on current events.
Who else will?
I am concerned that Paypal will soon close our host’s account. It’s been happening to others. I hope he has a backup.
If developing it has yet to demonstrate capture.

’til you reach the original issue
Hardrock,
I don’t want to sound harsh, but do you know how to use a search engine like google? Or use a source like wikipedia?
I just typed in “Graveyard of Empires Afghanistan” and a link to a wikipedia article came up. In part quoted below.
During the history of Afghanistan, several superpowers have attempted to invade Afghanistan without maintaining a stable, permanent rule. Modern examples included the British Empire during the first and Third Anglo-Afghan Wars (1839–1842, 1919), the Soviet Union in the Soviet–Afghan War (1979–1989) and the United States in the War in Afghanistan (2001–2021).[2][3] Some had attributed ancient empires to the narrative, including the Persians, Greeks, Arabs, Turks and Mongols.[4]
LOL.
Yes, I do.
My point to Mr. Kunstler was that if you lead with “Graveyard of Empires”, many readers will assume that Rome was in Afghanistan….as I and at least one other did.
Not sure how this got blown out of proportion when I just assumed that I had missed that invasion in my education/reading and wanted to learn more.
hmuller….Thanks for the measured (and helpful) response.
Most readers, I suspect, familiar with the habitual reference to Afghanistan as the ‘graveyard of empires’, experienced zero confusion. A by-the-book professor would suggest Jim’s line: ‘ “Graveyard of Empires,” indeed.’ should have been attached to the tail-end of the preceding paragraph to avoid any confusion.
Russian and USA.
Rome took 300+ years to fall and peter out. A credit to the tenacity of her people and system. In contrast, the US has, well… I don’t know what here.
That’s not really fair. With instant, mass communication and other technology now available to us, everything is speeded up. Back before modern technology it took as much as 100 years for even fashion to change. In the days of sailing ships it took four months to sail from England to India. Overland routes were even slower and communication could only travel as fast as a ship could sail or a horse could move.
You need to know the Context I am writing under to understand that post. Namely, that the US won’t collapse. No way. You see IMO collapse is the word many people prefer to use instead of the word death. Death is the real signification of this long over-used term – “collapse.”
And thus did IPA come to be.
Rome had an advantage.
About 75% of the population were directly engaged in agriculture.
Even the sandal-maker and the toga-salesman had a few chickens in the courtyard and a hog out back.
A society that can feed itself can weather occasional economic shocks…even barbarian invasions.
In 21st century America, about 1% are involved in agriculture. A systemic shock that interrupts the 18 wheelers will result in mass starvation that will make the Holodomor and the Great Chinese Famine look like Trimalchio’s feast.
“systemic shock” is another fancy schmancy term for “collapse.” Etc, etc.
Well sort of.
It’s a thing that causes collapse, rather than the collapse itself.
Sort of the way covid kills fat, sick people but healthy people weather it easily.
A weird analogy for the whole country.
Amman: Everything happens faster these days. I give it another few years before things go kinetic.
This is not about the 20 years we wasted in Afghanistan. They’re trying to change the subject, of course, but it’s just plain obvious to any 3rd-grader that Biden totally botched our “exit.” Everybody stuck in Afghanistan is a hostage. What is Biden giving away to get them out?
Ashamed/hostages
Good point.
Although I an inclined to take seriously Pepe Escobar’s prognosis, that the Russians and Chinese are helping the Tabliban run the PR show, helping them act like a government.
That would probably exclude Hostage Redux.
China and Russia, I wouldn’t doubt it. But in reality, right now they are hostages with which the Taliban can extract major concessions. I don’t think China and Russia would hand over Americans without a very high price, even if it’s “only” PR. The PR contest is a total lost cause for our side. Fucking Biden and his woke GloboCap puppeteers!
Yes, he botched the edit but you’ve proven yourself to be a certified clown for stating the Taliban has the US military on its knees. Regardless, you look wonderful with a big red clown nose.
exit not edit
I’m sorry, but you don’t seem to appreciate the magnitude of this disaster. This is not simply a minor faux pas that will be forgotten in a few days when the media finds a new story to follow. Our public humiliation is flooding the internet with images for all to see. We are now exposed as weak, and worse, irresolute (though I believe most have the measure of what the full faith and credit of the US actually means). Extrapolate this failure out a few months (though we may not even have that long), as the government is treated with increasing contempt. Now others know they can treat us thusly, and I think we are broadly hated, with good reason. I read that neither Biden nor Kamala are taking calls from heads of state. Trudeau said he called Hillary Clinton.
As sadly disastrous the US exit from Afghanistan has been, I find the pearl-clutching outrage at Biden as being “responsible” for this highly amusing.
It was always going to be a clusterfuck of unprecedented proportions -that’s why the US stayed in spite of noises to the contrary since 2007.
The Dear Leader, Trump, had already organized the whole shindig with his “historic peace deal” (yeah, right…). The RNC has removed from its website the page lavishing praise on that ‘deal’. Ha.
Do you REALLY believe that it would have ended any differently if President Lardass had been in charge? I guarantee-fuckin’-tee that you and the rest of your sad deluded ilk would be finding ANY spurious alternative explanation as apologists for Trump if his name was attached to this screw-up.
One thing that Trump would have never done was to close the AIRBASE obviously needed to safely do a withdrawal.
Nice try, Red. Just a bit too obvious.
Whistle this while you work.
I could while away the hours
Conferrin’ with the flowers,
Consulting with the rain;
And my head I’d be a scratchin’
While my thoughts are busy hatchin’
If I only had a brain.
compared to most of the democratic leadership leadership kneeling down to blm and the defund the police crowd plus the opening of the southern border,this is the best thing to happen since the start of the biden administration.Getting out sooner then later was a foregone conclusion.Who cares about right/left MSM hysteria.
Still spitting out your poisonous bile at Trump and his groupies Redneck? Apparently, it’s really so hard for you to move on; look at what you have to embrace! LOL
Even the MSM are turning on Biden, violating the scripted press conference rules, confusing the fuck out of the already confused Puppet in Chief. Biden will be gone inside of 4 weeks.
hmuller: Biden will be gone inside of 4 weeks.
How much are you willing to bet on that? You’re saying he’ll be gone by 20th September, right? A fever dream…
So many CFNers missing. WTF? Tech glitches?
I overslept.
Huzzah! I am a chronic insomniac.
Perhaps The Purge has begun.
Heebie Jeebies.
I was still on the previous post, forgetting that today is Friday.
LOL.
There you are! Well, as you know, a big fart from Afghanistan has the world in a tizzy.
I took the afternoon off work, lunched and went disc golfing with an old friend visiting from out of town. It was a nice day in the sun and trees. With a beer.
Back now.
So what gives?
Some media agents are actually reporting the truth and most are lying by omission.
https://www.oann.com/china-virus-breakthrough-cases-among-fully-vaccinated-reveal-vaccine-much-less-effective-than-predicted/
The narrative that the unvaxxed are driving the current delta variant uptick is ludacris at best and insulting as hell.
But on the narrative rolls even though anyone with a grain of sense can make the leap the vaccines don’t work. But on the news was the spin that “people who have breakthrough cases are much less seriously ill and likely to die than the unvaccinated.” Of course, no evidence to back that up.
I am dismayed to find that people who should know better by now are still recommending the vaccine as the answer to the COVID problems.
Fauci was on again last night urging people to get vaccinated. It never ends. He won’t even state that kids don’t have to wear a face mask and shouldn’t b/c the build up of CO2 is harmful especially for them.
So far I haven’t seen any other “expert” anywhere in the world recommend putting a rag over a two year old baby’s airways,
Just this sicko.
You know what someone pointed out to me?
As soon as Biden got in office, it was almost a review of President Trump’s best accomplishments, the way Biden systematically undid the things Trump did.
It was pointed out that the only things Biden didn’t undo were President Trump’s worst mistakes- keeping Dr. Fauci around and pushing masks and rushed vaccines.
President Donald Trump could not fire Dr Anthony Fauci. President is a Guest Position while Dr Fauci is a lifer.
President Trump could absolutely have fired Dr, Fauci from the COVID task force. Dr, Fauci’s position for life was with NIH/NIAID.
Two separate things.
Dr, Fauci could have been fired from his official position too, but that would take some doing and the president could not get it done by himself.
I love President Trump; but he was negligent in not getting rid of Fauci.
You are a moron to love Trump. He does not love you.
President Trump could not fire Fauci. He could not and, therefore, did not.
You think President is boss? What is this, 1962?
Oh, c’mon OG (what’s that, “Oh God”?) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
Took the hound for a walk this morning and was confronted with several government posters saying “Take the Vaxx and have fewer restrictions!” They really believe that they are the sole dispensers of liberty. I intend to deface it when darkness falls.
Benr: And what’s the “Delta variant” anyway? Just the sniffles.
Look – its a farce. Enough already. We won.
If we hold steady and don’t give in, they can’t destroy the control group, which is what the unjabbed are. And then the vaccine injuries and deaths, and the fact that they are calling the injuries a ‘variant’ will become apparent.
I ain’t giving up my control group status. No way, no how.
There are many of us who will never fold.
They are the real winners. First, the jig will be up sooner or later. 2nd, this notion of staying in a control group or control groups represents a scientific approach and basis for determining the truth.
Agreed. And don’t resist passively, either. Go out into the world with a maskless smile on your face, enjoy life to the full, put a “Not vaxxed” sticker on your bumper. Get in their faces!
I’m with you, Mary Queen. The pressure is being piled on in Japan too. I may have to lose my job or move out of my current home, but I can afford it.
Same. I stand to lose a lot. Then again, I may stand to gain, because I qualify for so many online/remote jobs.
NOTHING is worth your health. Health is everything.
Try Radiant Health. http://WWW.Dragonherbs.com There is no store like it anywhere in the world.
Thanks, Amman.
Joe has a house at Rehoboth Beach, essentially the Jersey Shore extended to Delaware. It’s August. In a pinch, he can do what any person in the area who has had enough would do–go to the beach (while it is still there). And occasionally hit the Franklin Ice Cream store on Market Street in Philly with his grandkids. No need to overdramatize.
Joe’s lack of handling of the situations on our Southern Border and evacuation of Afghanistan is a puzzlement, no question. Kamala’s aggressive legal style and inspiring life story do not seem to equip her to deal with national and international issues (except racism and sexism, of course). We could do worse than Nancy for president, but it is not clear how well gathering votes in the House generalizes to broader executive skills; on the other hand, her innate knowledge of old-fashioned Baltimore horse trading may be an asset after a lifetime of seeing Ivy League technocracy come and go.
“We could do worse than Nancy as President.” That’s not saying much at all and reassures me not one bit Joshua.
We could also do a lot better than Nancy, as in, pick any WalMart shopper at random and make her President!
Nancy is elderly, and hanging on for dear life to coverup the many crimes of the old Democrats.
Should she become president, and it could happen, it is not inconceivable that the person she chooses as her VP will shortly become the actual president.
Now think about who has recently become freed up to take on such a task.
Julian Assange?
Gavin Gruesome?
Julian is still in the slammer, isn’t he?
Besides. he’s Australian.
Come to think of it, look what happened to Australia while Julian has been incapacitated.
Not to mention the fact that she is evil.
She would pick Hillary then step down.
That drunken old crone would send this country into a full blown civil war 10 minutes after seating herself behind the Resolute Desk.
No thanks.
The truth is this: The ENTIRE Democrat Party is illegitimate…..a criminal enterprise, like the Nazi SS. No Democrat is fit to serve. The entire party should be outlawed and dissolved for treason. Let the Libertarians be the new opposition party to the GOP.
Jeez. How long can this farcical merry-go-round continue? It’s like Rome’s Year of the Four Emperors! What next? Appointing a horse as senator, like Caligula? Mind you, they did appoint Kerry, so at least that one’s covered.
HMuller, I’m pretty sure my comment meant “Nancy for President? HELL NO!”
hmuller/assange,
LOL (grim)
I guess you mean Andrew Cuomo?
No way! Those nipple ring wearing cuomo-sexuals are finished.
Trump would be on her mind for sure.
Hahaha! Whatever.
——-
“OK! A drink of water, pee and Right back to bed, Little Mister!”
“We could do worse than Nancy for President”??? That’s like saying, “That guy Hitler might improve German-Jewish relationships”. The woman is totally unhinged.
That bit where she tore up Trump’s SOTU was the best.
Full on narcissistic rage, captured by the cameras. It was also hilarious to see just how mentally ill many of our polis are.
There was even a vid in which she was shown pre-ripping a corner of the document under her desk so that she didn’t look like even more of a muppet when showtime hit.
One of the most visceral representations of just what a joke the country has become over the last 20 years or so.
Sorry – what’s inspiring about Kamala’s life story?
She started her career under Mayor Willie Brown’s desk, at the age of twenty-nine I believe.
Worked her way out from under there, breaking the wooden ceiling, and since then, she’s been just like The Jeffersons – “movin’ on up”.
All that seems inspiring.
She grew a vagina. Despite the male patriarchy.
I don’t need coffee to get my blood pressure up. Merely, listen to the headlines and hear the utter nonsense our “Master of All Knowledge” in government proclaim ‘on our behalf’, and my BP rises well above nomal. Heard, lately, and whining about “Common Sense Gun Control”? Not so much?? Three hundred thousand ‘trained’ Afghan troops must equate to 150,000 M-16s lost. These are not the ARs so many, here, fret about. These are real ‘weapons of war’. How soon before 1000’s of these ‘inadverntently’ show up through our Southern border? And those using them? Think they will file off the serial number or leave them on to boldly show we, the tax paying Americans, will have a ‘return on our investment’ that we really didn’t need. Not to worry, pass a law saying magazines can only hold ten rounds, that ought to save us….. Thank the Lord Afghanistan is poor tank country and very few must be there or we could witness the real capability of hijacked M1A1s with crews that have poor ‘impulse control’ and zero Rules of engagement concerns…….
Doc, 150,000? HAHA . Try 600,000 and that’s just the M-4’s and other guns. How about 75,000 vehicles and 20,000 grenades. Grenades especially scary to be smuggled into the USA. You want high blood pressure? Read William Forstchen’s “Day of Wrath”.

Forstchen’s “One Second After” trilogy was most enjoyable and thought provoking. Thanks, much, for the link!
Why the worry, it’s not as if the ‘best military in the world” did anything consequential with them when there.
WTH are you thinking? Plenty of iron in the states already.
Trillions into the pockets of the greedy, the corrupt and the wasters. A friend of mine’s son worked two years for a private contractor as the cable guy (his skills were exactly like the guy who installs your cable when you move) and made $500,000 and had two free airline tickets every year to any place in the world he wanted to go. And apparently the Afghans were not shy about fleecing the government either with nonexistent soldiers on the payroll.
But there’s lots to be cheerful about! We can get our third shot and make the guys at Pfizer even richer! We must do our part to see that that happens.
Morning Jim – excellent recap as usual, excellent writing. Thanks.
1) Maybe we should send Ho’ Harris to HKIA in Kabul, and she can just tell them “Do not come, do not come”. After all, it did wonders for our Southern Border, when she implored the same at her Central America confab in May.
Although, not so sure it worked so well with Mayor Willie Brown or Montel Williams.
2) Masking the children? Any parent losing a child is heartbreaking, as it violates the natural “order of things”, and can never be taken lightly. The CDC’s own stats – children dying from COVID since the start of the pandemic – 423. Again, from the CDC, children dying from the flu in 2019 – 480.
These f**king tiny tyrants on local school boards need to STFU.
Yes Ron. By anyone’s count it’s old people with other morbidity factors who died from Covid (or more often “with Covid”) to the tune of 99% of deaths.
It’s cruel and useless to disrupt the lives of young people and children over something that poses a microscopic danger of death to them.
But we all know this “pandemic” is not about science or truth; it’s about terrorizing and tyrannizing the populace. Prepare them for total obedience in slavelandia.
>b>”who died from Covid (or more often “with Covid”) “
And more accurately
who died from Covid (or more often “with a positive Covid test ”)
Yep, tested at 45CT, guaranteeing a 97% false positive, just so the numbers match the narrative. Liars.
Ha ha, so true, Ron and Bilejones.
Who died from illnesses before Covid (for the most part)? Old people and some middle aged people with serious health problems due to drinking, smoking, and obesity, such as: diabetes, heart disease, pneumonia, respiratory problems, renal failure, cirrhosis, et al.
Throw in a Covid test which delivers lots of false positives and the mortality numbers can be manipulated any which way the CDC wants.
Younger people die more from traffic accidents, suicides, childhood cancers like leukemia etc. These are harder to fudge as Covid deaths.
George Floyd was covid-positive when he died.
I wonder if they counted him?
One wonders what those children had as comorbidities. There’s a difference between a healthy 80 pound ten year old and a 250 pound 10 year old with diabetes and asthma.
Mac – yep, you’re right, the difference could also be a diet of snacks & weed.
Do you suppose Biden smokes weed? Or is he that way due to dementia alone?
H – the only way to tell for sure would be to have a speech by Cheech Marin or Tommy Chong, and then make a comparison.
I have a modest proposal: place the names of all members of Congress of either party who never spoke out against our involvement in Afghanistan in a large hat. Then have a random drawing: each drawn representative or senator to be traded for ten Americans now stuck in Kabul, no strings attached.
I am confident that the Taliban would readily accept this proposal and, for the first time in memory, a program would be a win-win for both Afghanistan and the US.
We had to be there, as long as bin Laden was hiding in that cave.
It seems like everybody knew he was in Pakistan, but they still got away with that ludicrous cave excuse for ages.
That’s probably how they knew Americans were stupid enough to buy that face-diaper to stop a virus thing.
The people who came up with it were probably holding their sides in agony, they were laughing so hard.
Playing their “faggotty”* reindeer games in Bohemian Grove.

OBL died in the fall of 2001 from Marfans Syndrome. He was a very ill man on dialysis 3x/week. He was in a hospital I think in Dubai? where the CIA station chief visited. We can’t forget he was one of theirs at one time.
His death was announced in several newspapers and Bhutto told David Frost she knew he had died.
So, not sure who the US thinks they killed at Abbotobad, but it wasn’t OBL. Which is probably why he had a hasty burial at sea in the Indian Ocean.
No! We saw the video, with Hillary reacting to the carnage she saw on the TV screen.
What more hard proof do you want?
Where are the birthers I mean deathers when we need them?
Can’t someone come up with a death certificate?
And what about those newspaper announcements???
Which newspapers?
That is the first I heard that BUT he went VERY quiet after the tora bora cave complex collapse and many think he died there.
Who we saw being dumped at sea was a body double plain and simple.
That part about Hillary looking horrified was straight out of silent pictures acting they were pretending to view the assault in real time.
Brilliant suggestion. I like it.
You, sir/madam/other, have won the InnerTubes for the day.
Reminder. We ARE in Kunstler’s Long Emergency and as beildering as it may all seem, we were forewarned. In context, none of this should be suprising. Then again, none of us have never lived through a collapsing empire.
No we aren’t, we are in a global technocratic takeover. Engineered from top to bottom.
If you don’t fight it, it won’t end well.
I think it’s both, and a lot more, Owl. Remember: Never let a good crisis go to waste. This one carries a cornucopia of opportunity for the scumbags at the “top” all around the world. Chinese elites must be salivating over this debacle.
That reminds me, Julian Assange explained the real reason we were in Afghanistan forever, quite some time ago.
His explanation has been making the rounds on the internet in recent days.
Link?
Did he mention the words “oil” and “opium”? Or did he think we were there to improve wimmin’s rights?

Thx BoO.
He was Right. The goal was an “endless War.”
Now it ends. Why?
End game. Depop.
Spot on, Julian
Agree.
Corbett is good on this. He’s dead right on every next step so far.
It doesn’t end well.
My thoughts exactly.
The American people never needed an empire to have plenty.
No, but we needed an empire to have too much.
I was 13 years old when Nixon yanked the dollar off the gold standard. I think we’ve been living in a collapsing empire ever since.
bewildering. Dammit.
and it’s ever lived, not never lived. Double dammit!
What exactly is the connection that JHK is making between Pelosi and the Jeni’s brand gourmet ice cream brand? I have had Jeni’s before when out in Cincinnati and got to say their product is actually pretty good.
https://www.cnsnews.com/blog/cnsnewscom-staff/pelosi-shows-national-tv-audience-her-freezer-full-12-pint-ice-cream
Interesting, thanks for the link! Although I might spend $6 for a little cup of ice cream when out with friends, this is very infrequent on my part and I consider it a treat and a splurge. I would never spend $12 on a pint of ice cream regardless of how good it might be. Give me a 1/2 gallon of slow churned Kemps any day, all for a mere $3! If we had Graeter’s around these parts I would get that too.
It was not the price of the ice cream or even how much but that her freezer was a 100,000 dollars to purchase.
I mean who pays that much for a home appliance?
That by the way is the point how All Democrats talk like they support the little people yet all of them have very little in common with we the normal working class.
The same goes for the other side of aisle.
Really, a home fridge for $100k? Wow, does it dispense gold bars on command?
I had a hard enough time finding a simply $2000 replacement fridge when mine conked out earlier this year, material shortages and all being the norm.
Maybe I should have written to Pelosi to see if she had a spare old $10k model collecting dust in her garage she was willing to part with?
Just how big was Nancy’s freezer? Did she rent space to her Baltimore friends from the old days to store bodies?
The average home doesn’t have the wiring to support commercial appliances.
There’s a ski slope inside, with real snow.
“Hairy”* (“Dirty Hairy” to friends) doesn’t ski. She rides the ski lift to the daiquiri machine. Sits like a vulture at the bar, with a fake cast.
*Thanks for the translation steelrust.
Sorry her freezer was only 24k not 100k but again who has a 24 thousand dollar freezer?
I might add she has several of them!
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8939861/Left-wing-Democrats-claim-Pelosis-expensive-ice-cream-drawer-voters-lockdown-crisis.html
Oh, it’s very good – top shelf I’d imagine – a picture of crotch-cricket Pelosi standing in front of her stainless steel Sub Zero freezer eating a Jeni’s ice cream bar during the original lockdown I believe, with that delusional octogenarian “Let them eat cake” smirk.
When I look at her, I think “Bride of the Crypt Keeper”.
It was Princess Pelosi’s personal “Let them eat cake!” moment.
Hereward – she’s so f**king full of hubris & arrogance, she may still have a future sociopathic, “Let them eat cake!” moment waiting for us still.
Not many as self-unaware or tone-deaf as Pelosi. She’s an utter embarrassment. Clueless…
It makes one shudder to think that she has a short path to the Oval Office. Heaven forbid.
Well we can be pretty sure there is no Ben and Jerry’s in her freezer.
Abby – above, hmuller insinuates there may be bodies in her freezer. Maybe Ben and Jerry are in there.

Thank you.
I had never heard of Midazolam before where it is alleged the British bought in stocks of this sedative and held them until the spring of last year when they killed thousands of old people in nursing homes with it.
Then there was Dr Bryan Aldis’s claim that Rendesivir was mandated last year for American ‘Covid’ patients when it had a proven track record of killing those who took it.
Then there is Wodarg’s call to investigate the wHO protocols (Discovery programme?) recommending the use of HCQ in lethal doses last spring.
James Howard: With your wonderfully jaundiced eye, you dissect the current events, to include the zeitgeist, which many cannot fathom, no less elucidate so well.
The 75th Ranger Regiment’s primary mission is taking (via 800 ft jump w/FULL combat load!!!) airfields and securing for follow on introduction of a massive amount of warriors. Ring the airport w75th, use the 600 Marines for quick reaction force and GET our people (including anyone who assisted NATO forces). President Trump w/Pompeo had a plan for controlled retrograde of civilian/military. It did not include allowing taliban forces into Kabul to “assist”. Had they tried, they would have died, and they knew it. The taliban tango’s are now in a free fire zone, identified as to where they reside and who the leaders are. Selectively take out, say, three. Direct those left to assist with locating those we want to ferry out. The leaders do NOT want to die for Allah just yet. We have boocoo leverage, if applied.
William Buckley, cia station chief Beirut, was taken, tortured and either executed or died of a stress induced MI. Now full of themselves, a small group of tango’s grabbed a Russian diplomat. Two/three days later, one of the tango’s family members head was placed on a main highway. The diplomat was released immediately. Selective power projection. Nuff Said. P
I vaguely remember another situation back in the early 80’s where some Palestinian terrorists attacked Russians. The Russians responded in the most brutal way possible, pretty much killing anybody these terrorists were related to or even met, and all terrorism against Russians ceased.
Yes the Russians rules of engagement are to win plain and simple.
Not the ridiculous don’t shoot unless shot at shit show our troops have to put up with.
In war people die and deserve has nothing to do with the death.
As you stop around the planet killing civilians for corporate interests while fulfilling your self-proclaimed “Police of the World” mandate.

Your douchebaggery continues to amaze.
And don’t you love that phrase “asymmetric warfare” the Muzzie-loving wokesters use to castigate Christian alliances. Yeah, that’s the point. You fight not only to win, but to do so with as few casualties/injuries as possible.
Yes, and a dozen years ago Somali pirates attacked a Russian merchant ship, which, unfortunately for the pirates, was protected by a platoon of Russian Marines.
Nobody knows exactly what happened, but the Russian Press Secretary announced the next day, with a deadpan face, that the Somali pirates, and crafts they arrived on, seem to have disappeared; nobody could say where to exactly.
Something to consider, our government doesn’t want to protect the Americans over there.
Joe Biden does not make any of these decisions on his own.
The person or persons pulling the strings likely come from the Obama camp.
It has to be someone who very keenly wants to see America brought low in front of the world.
But who was pulling Obama’s strings when he was in the WH? He was an inexperienced politician with excellent speaking skills and unencumbered by a moral compass.
Who profits if (or when) American disintegrates? That’s the question. It makes no sense to me as we owe China a gazillion dollars, Russia seems to just want to be left alone, South American — no, Africa — no, so that leaves the Middle East. Does this go back to oil and perhaps revenge for our long history of problems there? I admit I have no answers.
We’ll be sold off to China piecemeal. That would make “us” solvent and them whole. And us as their serfs as they settle their new home.
But serfs with no buying power — just serfs.
Yes. Just serfs. Techno Feudal Serfdom.
The USA sold itself to China fair-and-square. They have trillions of US$ debt while Americans enjoyed 3 decades of every day low prices.
Now the debt is due.
The version I quite like like is that the Eurocentric World Economic Forum produces a caste of technocratic overseers who implement the new global serfdom on a more pliable and much smaller world population who, of course, own nothing and like it.
Exactly. I think none of this fiasco was an accident in planning.
There is a reason for all this, but as JHK said, “We are heading into the fog” so it’s hard to see.
Yes, ZFG – Zero Fucks Given – is the Key to it All. If you want to survive? We matter, they don’t – they being anyone outside of your group.
Society began to die once actual Christian ethics began to be practiced. Christianity is pro-Life, but not life as it is lived and must be lived on Earth.
Religion is pro-life only if it adopts a chosen people mythos, that we matter and they don’t – they being any and all unbelievers.

You’ve just been absolved of all your sins and have a ticket to heaven. What’s the best thing that could happen to you in that crystal clear moment?
You got to earn the ticket, Pete. Life is the test. Being released from Death is the Pass/Fail grade.
Absolved is incorrect. Forgiven is our status. My sins [ lessons ] are ever with me.
Heaven is where Gods law is kept. Heaven is coming here. Religion [ man-made = the traditions and commandments of men ] is an off-ramp on the King’s highway.

This afternoon, I’m off to get my jab so that I don’t lose my job. Even though I had covid, and am far more protected than the vaccinated, I still have to get it. Whatever happened to science?
Such a wonderfully free country we now live in.
Don’t do it! Don’t cave to the powers that be! There has to be an alternative, whether claiming exemption or falsifying the documents of your vaccine status. Whatever you do we implore you, do not cave to the demands of the tyrants!
Somebody needs to build an app that will Zoom an unjabbed patient to an ethical Dr who will have a standard page of medical reasons why, regardless of odds, the patient cannot psychologically handle that Satan Seed in them for the rest of their life.

I’ve harped on this before,but you need to google “mareks disease leaky vaccine” and read up on the consequences of what a leaky vaccine can deliver. The fate of mankind hangs in the balance,I’m serious. I saw the mainstream news reporting that the vaxxed are shedding more of the virus,just as is the case with marek’s. You couldn’t make a better doomsday machine. Our only hope is natural immunity gotten by exposure before it morphs into you’re dead unless you vax,then you’re the man’s bitch and there’s nothing to be done but bow your heads to the new gods.
First the variants will threaten the unvaxxed but if ADE manifests itself it will turn back on the vaxxed which will need ever more frequent “booster” shots or die.
As best I understand my reading about immunology: antibodies that are not sterilizing (i.e. prevent cell infection) are always a problem in one way or another. All signs point to such a future: the virus mutates and vaccines become less effective.
As an aside: the college kids that held Corona parties to infect each other did exactly the right thing, as an infection by the (then still fairly harmless variant) confers better and longer lasting immunity than the vaccines will.
Trust your innate immune system. the chicken of Marek’s disease were the chicken of industrial chicken farming — as unhealthy as can be imagined. But that is not your situation.
Jack, get an antibodies test instead and show your employer the results. Hopefully they’ll see your point.
Or go to a Dr armed with facts and say that you cannot morally, ethically, religiously, whateverly handle that Gargoyle Goop doing the Blood/Brain Barrier Dance inside you for the rest of your very life.

Black: Your “Yes, I have no apples” is logical but my “No, I have no apples” is more emphatic and thus emotionally correct. I’m not vaccine hesitant, I’m vaccine hostile.
Yo, “our” hypothetical responses regarding apple availability can’t be assessed for efficacy as they are out of context – that is we don’t know (maybe you do, but that’s “you”, not “we”) the question those responses attempt to answer. So let’s try some context, shall we:
Q: Do you have any apples?
Me: No, I don’t have any apples.
Yo: That’s my answer not yours – and you didn’t even say it right!
Ok, here’s the question that I think is adequately answered by those hypothetical responses:
Q: Is it true that you have no apples?
Me: Yes, I have no apples.
Yo: No, I have no apples – but you have even less!
I remain unrepentant, but as always, it was fun butting heads on the edge of the cliff.
It might work if he simply dashed it a la “thing-you-never-do” which just turns it into a term-noun…

It will be a defining moment for us all. It reminds me of the housing crash in 2007/2008. So many were irrationally exuberant that they could finally purchase a home. They were suckered in by a system that knew better than to allow them to buy but didn’t care and used them like so many betting chips. I saw what was happening and held off until December 2009 and sold at a profit seven years later. I see what is happening now and say to all:
STAND YOUR GROUND AND GRAB YOUR BALLS!
Semantics aside, Yoho tells it like it is. There are few moments in a North American man’s life but we have one Right now:

Agree 100%.
Not everyone is in a position to walk away from a good-paying job so I sympathize.
I do have questions that I have not seen anyone address:
if you (anyone) has complications as a result of the vaccination, is there a possibility that your health insurance will refuse to cover the cost because we are “voluntarily” taking an unapproved medicine?
Since it is unapproved, will it be difficult to pin the complications on the shot or will “they” say your problems are unrelated?
Will employees forced to take the shot have legal recourse against an employer if there are complications?
I have seen one such instance. The employer claimed the employee voluntarily took the shot.
As for who will cover you if you get sick from the shot, the Ticker Guy has written about this and he says no, and I have seen mention online of people bringing this up, as to who is going to pay.
I can’t vouch for the authenticity though.
Anybody who doesn’t demand something in writing from their employer before considering the shot is just stupid and beyond help.
Excellent point!
This is something legal should be dealing with before they demand vaccination and you’re right.. There should be documentation confirming who demanded the shot and all the repercussions that will result if things go bad.
That’s a helluva “Question Zone” you laid out. *Hint hint*
FFS, Jack! Your employee is breaking the law! Give him a copy of the Nuremberg Code of 1947 about forcing experimental medication on people. Get religion and get a religious exemption. Employees need to stand up to this BS and claim their legal rights.

Similar to Zoltar’s proposal I actually have a vision. One day, in the not too distant future, The Taliban and the American people may, much to their surprise, actually find common cause in their hatred for the American government and Deep State. I don’t think it’s that far fetched. After all the proposed Domestic Terrorism Bill basically will classify us all as potential terrorists.
H. R. 350
To authorize dedicated domestic terrorism offices within the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to analyze and monitor domestic terrorist activity and require the Federal Government to take steps to prevent domestic terrorism.
An October 2019 reckoning tabulated that 157,000 had been killed in the war in Afghanistan since 2001, including –
Afghan security forces: 64,124;
Afghan civilians: 43,074;
Taliban fighters and other insurgents: 42,100:
Afghans dead: 149,298
U.S. contractors: 3,814;
US military personnel: 2,300:
NATO and coalition troops: 1,145;
Humanitarian aid workers: 424;
Journalists and media: 67
American & allies dead: 7,750
I don’t think the Taliban wants much to do with us and I hear they have long memories.
Well, you know what they say. War (or politics or adversity)makes strange bedfellows.
And the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Like market cycles, shifts eventually occur and I don’t like to speak in absolutes because no one really knows what tomorrow may bring.
Very true and stranger things have happened.
The Taliban is not my enemy; my government is my enemy
Even if they were, Hella gonna do?
Maybe they’ll open up a branch here. Not terrorism, but running candidates and schools. We fund Pakistan and Pakistan funds them, so we’d be just getting some of our money back.
I’m not aware of any federal government program offering free guns and helicopters to American citizens. The Taliban has it better than the American people! Where’s my free helicopter, I wanna know?
You’ll find this timely and insightful

From the article referenced above.
“The medieval Arab historian Ibn Khaldun explains the dynamic in his 14th-century masterwork, Al Muqaddima. History, he shows, is a repetition of the same pattern seen throughout the ages—a group of nomadic tribesmen overturn an existing sedentary culture, a civilization that has become weak and luxurious. What drives the success of the rising tribe is its group solidarity, or assabiya. Its awareness of itself as a coherent people with a drive for primacy is frequently augmented by religious ideology. The stronger the tribe’s assabiya, the stronger the group. Assimilating the conquered by imposing its will and worldview on them, the victor lays the foundations of a new civilization. But since, as Ibn Khaldun writes, “the goal of civilization is sedentary culture and luxury,” all groups carry the seeds of their own demise.
And so the struggle begins anew.”
That’s the crux right there.
“The goal of civilization, of spirituality and science, is the happiness of the human soul. – NAG HAMDA
Thank you for this article Mostly. I like the last three sentences.
“We are part of history unfolding before us, as it has throughout time. But to be clear, what we are witnessing is not the end of America. It’s just the end of this particular branch of American leadership.”
As anxious as these times are, let’s remember that a change of the guard is underway. Although, as someone above pointed out, the American collapse will be like no other before, nevertheless we must face it head on. And by change of the guard I do not mean simply the decline of the West and ascendancy of the East but, rather, a winding down of the entire global economic system and its attendant financial and political structures all brought to us by cheap abundant petroleum of which our host regularly reminds us.
The Taliban seem to be interested in borders, language, and culture. Hmmmm
White supremacists way over there. Who’d have thought? Maybe we pulled out too soon…
I was directed to an article in Tablet: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/assabiya-lee-smith
A few samples:
Democratic Party strategists augured that they’d soon have a permanent hold on power thanks to urban intellectuals, young single women, racial and ethnic majorities, and the LGBT community. What is described as a coalition is in fact a mélange of clients with varying and sometimes opposing interests that can only be held together by stoking a communal hatred of the national majority—the white middle class.
The elites rationalized their impoverishment of the white middle class by claiming that they were dying anyway. And when the American heartland didn’t die off quickly enough, the establishment credentialed themselves as progressives by calling the people who live there racists. Being racists, they deserved all the bad things the elite had decided for them. Thus, by betting on sectarianism as the path to permanent power, American elites polarized the United States.
When Sen. Mitt Romney marched with Black Lives Matter, and Gen. Mark Milley advocated for critical race theory, they were simply demonstrating that they had adopted the manners and belief system of the dominant power.
etc.
Used to be, you had to go outside mainstream media to hear these kinds of deplorable ideas, shady weird websites like clusterfuck nation or verboten thinkers like Charles Murray. All I know about Tablet is that it is a jewish NYC magazine. Aren’t jewish magazines writers part of the urban intellectual class? Is something changing in the zeitgeist if you start to read these ideas in mainstream magazines?
Very good analysis, Scooby.
“Assabiya” = ethnocentrism, or populism, if you will.
Yep.
I occasionally encounter people gush enthusiastically about non-western thinkers, like Ibn Khaldun “the father of sociology”.
I can tell whether that person has actually read Khaldun’s theses about effete limp-wristed urban sophisticates having lost the rugged ethnic solidarity of their fathers who built a great nation signaling the decay and impending doom of said nation.
They are in control.
Planned chaos making the bed for a predetermined solution.
Do not underestimate the strategy.
I agree with you on the strategy, but planned chaos doesn’t work so well.
It often backfires.
If you are a cow in a cattle pen, it probably looks a lot like chaos to you; until you’re the only one in the chute that leads to the abattoir.
It looks like ordered evil
man’s personal touch to catastrophe
“Man plans and God laughs”
If they’re so in control then how do account for their shock and anger when the Orange man was actually elected President? Do you really think they have COMPLETE control of the narrative? They are a force to be reckoned with but no power is absolute, except the Lord Almighty Himself (gender specific HIM!).
Point conceded.
And how quickly they “fixed” that situation, no?
Point conceded in return Avatar. But the situation on the ground continues to evolve and although we may have lost that particular battle, the war rages on. I see the coming defeat of the Deep State just as America has been defeated in Afghanistan. Twenty, fourty, perhaps one hundred years in the making, but their defeat is coming.
Talk about patience — the “Intel Community” has it in spades. Their partnership with woke GloboCap may be short-lived. Here’s a golden opportunity for the “Intel Community” to turn on them, real hard. I wonder…
Well, they realized they made a mistake and have been making up for lost ground ever since. That doesn’t mean they are omniscient and all powerful but it does mean that they will try their hardest to make life for us as hard as possible. They will fail, but there will be collateral damage.
Trump was necessary to sow the division that is being cracked wider with “Covid”.

Are you ready for Man Camp?
1000s have graduated. Wake Up!! warrior training.
The first question on the application for White’s training program:
“Have you ever been punched in the face by another man?”
For the low cost of just $25,000, White will run you through a regimen of physical torture and mental preparation that involves being punched in the face, hiking while holding logs, and reciting the poem “Invictus.” White explained:
We teach them how to be a man. … Women are leading across the board in business and at home … and living more powerfully than men today. And that’s causing complete chaos for men.
what are rich men who do this looking for?
What about cooking bacon in a frying pan at the stove without a shirt on?
I heard that women really don’t understand the pain men go through from that.
Especially in June in the Adirondacks.
OMG! you have those innocuous-looking flies that draw blood when they bite you, to contend with as well.

I just got my ballot for recalling Newsome and yes if you fill it out and put it in correctly the yes vote is clearly visible.
My state is riddled with fraud and scams we need to throw out everyone and start over fresh.
To those who say what are we planning on actually doing, other than posting commentary on blogs, I say that this is doing more than we realize.
Someone posts about a doctor standing up to a school board in one particular town in America, and inviting others to join him.
In no time flat, I’d say millions of people now know about that doctor.
This wasn’t in the papers.
There was a tiny mention by the CDC, a mere hint, about something I thought everyone knew from the start, that these vaccines are not what we call vaccines at all.
It’s getting through now, slowly, but it is getting through.
Which why they’re doubling down and pulling out all the stops.
And I’m curious whether legal challenges can be made on that basis. A Governor may have the statutory authority to mandate a vaccine – but can they mandate a gene therapy?
These employers don’t even know what they are demanding of their employees.
There is simply no justification for demanding an employee take a shot that cannot stop transmission or infection of a disease.
They need to stop calling this a vaccine.
BTW, I have seen some people who took the shot, bristling at the suggestion that they could now be “shedding” the virus and making others sick.
Fair enough, there isn’t enough evidence to prove that.
However, I am not seeing an equal amount of empathy from these people toward the “unvaccinated”, and it is those of us who have not taken the shot who are being smeared, vilified, libeled, and threatened, on an increasing basis.
The shoe is on the other foot, and they don’t see it.
Beryl: You can go even further: there is not only no justification but it is illegal according to state, federal and international law. Lawyer up!
Yeah! We, the vaccine virgins, should be a protected victim class. Right? RIGHT? C’mon man!
I see that Governor DeSantis in Florida is following the science, because he can read and understand what he reads, and he is now making the effort to have actual treatment available, at early signs of illness, to Floridians who come down with the Wuflu.
You would not understand what he is doing from the mainstream news sources, because they are chock full of stories about how the governor is ignoring the science that proves masks work, ignoring social distancing and restrictions, and gambling on an experimental drug in limited supply to save him from his negligence.
This flat out ignores some hard facts.
One, Governor DeSantis jumped on the vaccination bandwagon with both feet, and indeed millions of Floridians did receive the shot.
Now “cases” are rising, which is something called seasonality, which is to be expected.
Since vaccines do not stop anyone from getting sick, he is going to plan B.
That makes sense.
The masks and other voodoo were to “slow the spread” until a vaccine was “found”, remember?
They have the “vaccine”, they used it, the virus spreads as viruses will, and the MSM is yammering about masks masks masks.
There is no rational, scientific basis for this, yet it is still happening, which should prove even to the most dense that there is something shady going on.
BTW the actual data from Florida is available, showing little to know difference with masks/no masks.
It does not matter what any study says, when the real-life application shows otherwise.
There remains ZERO evidence that a hanky on your face can affect viral transmission, or anything.

Tell the public a lie so big that no one would ever believe it was a lie.
The virus has never been isolated. Does the virus exsist?
I think we know the answer.
“Things are shaking loose all over the place. As Bob Dylan once said, the order is rapidly fading (and he’s even older than “Joe Biden.”) Everyone I know has got the heebie-jeebies. Nobody is at the controls of this outfit as we sail into the fog.”

Entropy
And the glue that resists entropy?
Belief
When soothsayers and doom diviners feared for and lamented a future of non-believers they were not speaking of, and did not account for, the secular abandoning the societal.
You are the Weatherman but We are the Wind. You have the Watch but we have the Time.
human society functions on belief alone
requiring all to buy in
you are the constable
the law is the way
the way is just
consume is to enjoy
enjoy is the meaning
toil is to suffer
to be outside is to be lost
when Zapffe’s man awoke and “saw himself” he entered that world
now it is crumbling like matrix code rain
and it is hard not to believe it
Ultimately, life forms are a ‘tool’ of entropy. The more complex and energy-hungry the life form, the quicker it shuttles matter from high-energy state to low-energy state.
Hey, Doc, have you ever read “Etidorhpa,” by John Uri Lloyd?
It’s in the public domain, so free to download. Check it out. Fascinating reading.
Thanks for the rec!
“…sail into the fog…”
More like ducking the fog.
the fall of Ashcanstan is on purpose, control thru chaos, what a wonderful return of radical islam versus the West, the perfect excuse to implement draconian controls.
does anyone believe the US couldn~t apply overwhelming force to obliterate the taliban? what a ruse.
too bad if 10,000 american citizens are put in harm~s way, you think the elite care about that? they~re chuckling away, calling their Chinese billionaire friends who call their taliban friends and everything is arranged for all sides to profit

WAR PIGS
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death’s construction
In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh lord, yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where their bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing, spreads his wings
Oh lord, yeah!

Especially for politicians and bureaucrats who’ve never even lifted a shovel much less been in combat, it’s all just a high level game of poker.

Well done.
It’s all fun and games until it’s time to settle up.
No more war pigs have the power…
Someday they will reap what they have sown
How do Russia and White Nationalists profit from this? The Chinese perhaps.
Also, know that Russia is allied with the Shia Muslims. The Taliban are radical Sunnis. The Shia may have a different philosophy of Jihad, not sure. In any case, they are generally on the defensive against the Sunnis and to busy to attack others in the name of Islam. But of course it may have happened at times.
Maybe the Shia have been mending fences with Taliban for years and years and years until, finally, something gelled. Meanwhile other folks were firing away…
“….or just throw in the towel on running the executive branch of the government”
Neither Joe nor Kamala will be throwing in the towel soon. The cabal that runs the executive branch is not done with Joe quite yet. They’ll push him out when they’re good and ready. It’s simple really, the MSM got together and let the WH know ” Look, this is what we need Joe to say, so we can then praise him tonight for being presidential”
Indeed. what a ‘dynamic’ duo. Scary that Americans have sunk so low as to have these 2 as leaders.
But after Barry, I guess Prez or VP has got to be a person ‘of color’.

I wish we could hire the Israelis or the Russians to get Americans and our Afghan allies out of Afghanistan. I trust they’d get the job done. I hear the Brits are doing part of the job for us too.
A congressional bill that was filed, H.R. 4980, looks to restrict the unvaccinated from flying inside of the United States.
Only the fully vaccinated against COVID-19 would be able to fly.
Showing a big opposition to this bill, early in the legislative process, is the best way to stop it from getting to a vote. Use your voice by clicking the box below to take 10 seconds to sign the petition. Then please share with all of your family and friends so that they can join in the message.
It is important to take a stand today because it looks like Pfizer’s COVID-19 “vaccine” will transition from being administered under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to full FDA approval by Labor Day. Why does that matter?
Because full FDA approval opens the floodgates for more mandates and fewer choices, for starters.
Many businesses have been holding off from requiring vaccination for entry, but they will likely do just that when the vaccines are approved.
It may also become much more difficult to refuse to take the jab or to keep your job if you won’t.
A fully approved vaccine carries the illusion of safety that a shot under an EUA just doesn’t have, making more employers likely to consider requiring vaccination as a condition of employment.
Even worse? The newest Supreme Court Justice, the one that Mitch “pushed through”?
She’s all in for forced vaccinations. They knew this when they selected her.
I wondered why the opposition to her was so muted from the maniacs who assaulted Kavanaugh. Now we know. Not that Kavanaugh turned out to be much better.
Of course. WEF puppets have been installed for years just for this moment now.
That’s A LOT of greedy psychopaths. The rest were probably paid off, coerced, or blackmailed. That would be the ones that always look nervous when they talk about it.
Yeah….Sign a petition….WHICH THE DEMOCRATS WILL IGNORE……but they will happily retain the list of names so they can sic their minions on them to be dragged to FEMA camps or something along similar lines for Australian-style forced vaccinations.
I think I’ll pass on signing.
If they ban us from airplanes I will simply drive my car for my next vacation.
““Graveyard of Empires,” indeed. Rome waited a few centuries to collapse but America seems to be demonstrating we can git’er done in just a couple of years. And, beyond these questions of global hegemony, there is the matter of what happens here in the so-called Homeland. ”
Putin remarked a few months ago that the US is marching firmly down the way of the old Soviet Union. I must agree with him.
What happened to the Soviet Union? dissolution and disunity, largely on ethnic lines that had existed for hundreds of years in the Russian sphere of influence– ethnic breakups by the way, that had been forced together under Moscow for much longer than the US has even existed. So, very possibly the same thing happening here.
Oh? You think this piece of paper called the “US Constitution” is gonna stop that??
guffaw
When there isn’t any food in the supermarkets, and bandits are breaking into your house to salvage whatever they can– almost nobody is gonna be quoting constitutional law. Sorry.
And it may just be the Graveyard of the Democrats too. I saw Biden’s press conference and it was riddled with outright lies, evasions and minimizing the dire situation on the ground in Afghanistan. Even the NBC’s usual boot-lickers were visibly disgusted and contradicted what Biden said.
Our NATO allies may be our “former” allies when the dust settles on this one. The amazing stupidity of closing Baghram AFB and not beginning the evacuation months ago is beyond belief. And Andrea Mitchell revealed that the people who applied for visa months ago had their passports destroyed when the embassy was shredding documents.
Do you think we’ll be welcomed in Taiwan?
One of the adorable things in the disintegration of the soviet union were the former nomads forced by the communists into a sedentary lifestyle. When the reach of central government receded they packed up their raindeers and vanished into the vast interiors of Siberia.
What western man cannot believe: the nomads live much better then the comorbidity riddled urban citizen of advanced civilization.
The federal government is becoming more and more dysfunctional while the new woke Jacobins officials inside are trying to impose their tyranny upon Americans. That tyranny drive is destroying institution after another faster and faster.
This relatively simple and easy task of evacuating orderly gone totally chaotic only shows the deeper problems within the US government starting to surface. The newly appointed besserwisser wokesters cannot manage anything effectively. They are full spectrum fuck-ups.
They also very easily fracture into mutually hostile factions, making things even more chaotic. A snake pit of thin skinned frenemies.That is because most of them are narcissistic adult toddlers with many many other mental issues.
Nothing is ever supposedly their own fault. If some things are hard and difficult or fail they’ll go awol. Somebody else should take care of it. Just like Biden and Harris BOTH with this evacuation!

Our culture has pushed people to remain in arrested development. I believe it started in earnest in the 1960s.
Look at pop culture. It directed us to refuse to grow up.
And so, we have.
Listen to Mr K’s talk with Dmitry Orlov. Good stuff.
Orlov compares Russian propaganda to our version — theirs is boring and mostly ignored while ours is hypnotic and sadly very effective. Hence, our crumbling culture.
I did, good interview.
Except that it wasn’t.
The silver-tongued Mr. Orlov side-stepped the question of how the Russian Federation is handling the ‘covid crisis’. I suspect the answer conflicts with his narrative.
There is ample evidence the Kremlin is playing with the globohomocap.s. I find this behavior difficult to understand from a leadership in need of popular civil support.
Who do they think is going to run their country in the future, guest workers from Timbuktu? And who will maintain that fabulous culture?
by the way, what a fucking sanitized, PC name for your home country. Not a fatherland. Not a motherland. A homeland.
fuck what a joke
can’t even give your home nation a gender. Nobody fights for a “homeland”
America is the Mudderland now.
And what did old Vlad do after the breakup? Bring millions of Muslims into the Russian heartland. He’s no nationalist, seeing the fall of the Soviet Union as a tragedy. He would rebuilt him/her.
Well
Many Russian republics (old or new) have large Muslim nations.
Also. Most of them are atheists/non religious. They are as about as “muslim” as many Bosnians are. Not really.
More tragically, the name invites a new problem.
How many people have homes filled with unfamiliar faces and alien ways? People they detest? People they loathe?
Not the kind willing to fight for it.
I have a lot of new neighbors who are nice enough people, but to them America is where you can get the cheap Christmas decorations with your Home Depot credit card, and lease an SUV that nobody back home could dream of driving.
That probably feels like freedom to them.
America the Mall. A never ending Occidental Bazaar of the bizarre. An Emporium of Filth that they love and hate – but the love is stronger. That’s why they came. That’s why they stay. To buy is to be.
Yes.
America is simply a strip mall with a flag & backed up by an enormous military/security state.
But what happens when the elites no longer find profit in that? They are on their jets & rocket ships & off to some warming part of the world, or maybe Mars.
I recall from the 70’s it was
“Hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet”
Home sweet home!
Woke fact checker has just called in: please change that to “Homoland”
ha ha
yes. That’s probably a good title there Hereward
Fatherland made folks think of Nazi’s. Motherland made folks think of Soviets. So, of course, the PC wordsmiths did what they always do…..picked the blandest name possible. Homeland.
Pretty bland.
Doesn’t sound like the kind of place you fight and die for.
Here in Dixie we don’t have this problem. The words to the song talk about “To live and die in Dixie.” Dixie is a place Southern born men will fight for. It’s a real place with a real identity and a real culture.
Dixie is currently a captive nation, having been forcibly annexed by the Union Army in 1865. But Dixie still exists. Dixie will still be a nation long after the United States ceases to be one. You can bank on that.

According to a youtube interview with an Historian called David Irving, the world Homeland is found in an old NAZI-era German word for some security organization. I can’t find the interview he said this on but I do recall it was in some airport in the USA.
(word) -_-
huh
that’s interesting. I hadn’t heard that one before.
“Homeland” is the perfect word for an artificial, bureaucratic, security state. Exactly what the US is.
Nope. No trace of that interview on youtube.
That term was born under GWB.
I’ve always hated it.
Back when Carter was undone, we were still a relatively free nation that operated mostly under the rule of law. Now we’re as third world as we can be…a literal banana republic…think Mexico without nice beaches. I look around me and I see very few people who are as angry as they are afraid. It’s like the whole country decided to bend over and grab our ankles at the same time ready to be violated by what George Carlin once referred to as that big red, white and blue dick. The good news is that the progressive left is simply too stupid to let it go. They’ve already won. All they have to do is tap the brakes a little and it’s game over. They won’t, though. They’ll keep pushing until it all goes up in flames. The good news is that they’ll be the ones hanging from trees when that day comes. Then more reasonable people can get on the the task of recivilizing.
When that day comes I hope to be in the rope selling business.
I anticipate a brisk trade.
Like in they have to go for broke on a no-win deal?
If I see one of these robots shopping in a store can I fondle it without treat of prosecution? Could I accost it on its way out of the store and repatriate all of its “master’s” recently purchased goods for myself?
This concept leaves many important questions completely unanswered.

I guess you guys will never get it, even though most have probably read Marx.
His most important observation was class – no, not the various degrees among commoners which 99.9% perceive.
Rather, he was referring back to the very first stages of civilization, when agrarian developments drove claims to rule and land. This is the point Rousseau suggested the serfs should have acted.
Today, we have 3 kinds of serfs: proles, liberals and conservatives. Proles are the criminals and lay abouts that won’t work for the machine. As such, they have been targeted for elination for 10k years.
Dems and repubs comprise those that buy into the system that has been so carefully crafted to convince them they have some kind of influence.
However, both are being eliminated in anticipation of the steep downward slope of resource constraints. While most here readily recognize the population replacement effecting whites, many are not paying attention to the equal efforts aimed at dems.
By which I mean the intentional destruction of cities, the loosing of armies of homeless and criminals, and the Vax, mask and operating rules and regulatdemo.
With social controls in place, and a newly modeled complacent citizenry, the elites can manage the global slowdown as described in WEF goals and objectives.
Afghanistan is just part of the coordinated withdrawal of US power. Since everyone has nukes, the major countries cannot afford regional conflicts.
In this manner, the world can be divided according to spheres of influence along natural geographic boundaries.
So, knowing all this, what is one to do? Obviously focus on local scale relationships and community bonds. Duh
What’s coming cannot be stopped. The elites are the same boat as everyone else. They’re just happen to be the ones charged with managing the process.
What I don’t get is why Jim, who was a leader in this thinking, somehow got derailed by playing the political media game. Why? Don’t you find it obvious and therefore mundane and boring?
The Elite will be the new lords, duh. You don’t understand your own narrative.
Good stuff. Intensive agriculture was a major, if not the major, turning point towards the modern world and the mad, unstoppable rush toward the limit-cliffs, as well as divisions of class that are orders of magnitude more deep, long-lasting and exaggerated than pre-agricultural-revolution class-divisions.
I wouldn’t criticize Jim for the political posts. You can only talk about the macro issues so long before you’ve more or less exhausted that arena. Then you take those macro-perspectives and apply them somewhere…for instance, US politics.
After reading Daniel Quinn’s “Ishmael,” some twenty years ago, I felt enlightened on the subject of agriculture. The turning point was freaking 10,000 years ago! Abel, the farmer, killed his bro, Cain, the shepherd. Off to the races!
Same book for me. I didn’t read much Marx.
Cain killed Abel.
Oops! Thanks, Druid! Rookie mistake. 🙁
I did get the occupations right?
Ashamed–“Ishmael”
Reading that book changed my life. If you want to get Quinn’s theses without the gawdawful storylines, read the last 85 pages of “The Story of B”, the part called The Public Teachings. More can be gleaned by reading the books but the Socratic teaching methods employed by the characters to draw out the stories make me grit my teeth with impatience. I want to reach into the text, slap the characters, and yell, “Spit it OOOOOUT!!!!”
Good stuff, nevertheless.
Ishmael was the first life changing book for me. Long Emergency was the next.
lol not convinced even you understand what you~re saying
think you should add some unintelligible reference to ‘post-neo-conservative’ or somesuch gibberish
with robots, your ‘elites’ [the very rich] do not need you.
and NO I never read marx, but I did read of stalins genocides.
If there were a military coup it would most likely be initiated by the US Marines. They are still probably the most cohesive branch. For more, they are used to shitty equipment and greater risks because they are always the last one to get anything. So much that they steal gear from the army guys in joint exercises.
The other branches (outside some special branches) are more or less career soldiers doing dutifully their 20 or 30 years and have been lately much more demotivated. The waiting game has started. Just like cops are doing with early retirements. They would not risk their lives and careers so easily.
How would the Naval Reserve fit in?
And don’t even get started on the Coast Guard….
I’m not certain, I’d have to research it but I’m too lazy, and besides it has become harder to search on the internet now, but one of the things President Trump tried to do early on was increase military spending.
This has always been popular with Republicans, but I’d heard that one of his goals was to bring our forces up to date with equipment and so forth.
He was going to take the money away from the NIH. This was back in 2018.
They fixed that idea, didn’t they?
Military coups are rarely by the WHOLE army. It’s usually the elite, hard-ass units who kick over the apple cart, like the 1st REP of the Foreign Legion, the German legions of the Roman army or…the US Marines. Who will be our Pinochet this time, I wonder?
Well, I can certainly attest to the supply chain issues. I ordered a new SRAM drivetrain mid July for my mountain bike. I was supposed to get it August 18. Called to check status of shipping on the 16th. I was told it ‘might” be here mid-September. I am beginning to wonder if many parts are just going to become unavailable soon. If this problem persists, most bicycles will become inoperable within a pretty short period of time. How many other things are about to suffer the same fate? Think automobiles, motorcycles, RV’s, and most other modes of transport. What about shoes? I don’t believe we make any here anymore. Will we end up weaving our own footwear out of sagebrush and cowhide? We will then have the same attire as the Taliban!! The only extra baggage we will have compared to them will be our sexual confusion. I don’t believe they suffer from that affliction.
They has rags on their feet as they hobbled in to Valley Forge.
Yeah, even Toms shoes are all made in China and other third world countries. Apparently they donate 1-for-1 on every shoe purchased to those in need (a.k.a. the very same people slaving in the sweatshop for nothing to make the shoes).
I always thought BedStu’s were US made, and now even all Allen Edmonds are no longer exclusively US made. What about Red Wings?
Toms–as in good toothpaste?
Forstchen’s “One Second After” trilogy was most enjoyable and thought provoking. Thanks, much, for the link!
Speaking of shortages, here in central Virginia, Corona Beer is getting mighty hard to come by. Corona Light and Premier is available, neither of which I like. Anybody closer to Mexico have an idea why?
I thought they discontinued certain Corona beers because people were actually squeamish about drinking this and possibly coming down with the Covid flu.
Discontinued? Or rebranded? Covid 19 Lager, Covid 19 Dark Ale and Covid 19 Stout. Yum!
Around here, this shortage has begun about 2 weeks ago. The kind folks at the ‘Total Beer’ store told me their suppliers cannot obtain it but not why they could not. That info was not forthcoming.
Doc there are so many local craft beers now, shelves of ’em; try some out.
Oh, believe me, I do.
Same reason there are now shortages an supply problems all over.
No one wants to work and but but covid.
And yet, way up here, far beyond its expected range, what did I find at my local booze store? Sweetwater 420. I’d have been less surprised to see a pelican.
Miracle? Maybe. That would be a Jesus kinda thing to do. But I do remember hearing that a truckload got highjacked a few years ago. Maybe it happened again. Mine is not to question why…
The local bike shop told me they are having major problems getting parts.
If the parts are difficult to source now, imagine how much more difficult it could be. My thought, if it is your bike, stock up on some parts as they become available.
Recall 16+ months ago it was impossible to buy a stand-alone freezer in the USA. Some people bought refrigerators for the extra freezer space, not the refrigerator. Freezers can be purchased again, but for how long?
My point is take stock of essential items, which will vary to some extent based on individual needs. JITS won’t make it through a major crisis. It is a black swan event waiting to happen with lots of crises to trigger its demise.
“Nobody is at the controls of this outfit as we sail into the fog.”
Pahdna that ain’t pasture enrichment, it’s Bull Shit
The only reason not to coast to a stop in the ‘stan and run into the ditch instead, is maybe the road ahead has washed out. If we’re still talking reason, that is. So many ways to theorize, so many untrustworthy politicians. Biden could yet be singing “et tu Bruté”.
I am old enough to have seen the country suffer through numerous crises, political, economic, and natural disaster, but to me they always were of the “this too shall pass” variety. Of course the chaos in Afghanistan will pass as well; we just don’t know the timeframe or what the body count will be, but before it is over most of the media will lose interest, just as the border crisis has faded from awareness for most.
What is different with this crisis is just how in your face it is as to the facade of American power projection and as concerns the almost incomprehensible incompetence of our military and government leadership. Hundreds of billions a year for the military and intelligence agencies, yet they didn’t see this coming. How could they not have any plans for the evacuation of Americans and our Afghan allies? How could they not even know how many Americans are there? Being they assumed the Taliban would eventually take over, where was the plan to disable American planes and other equipment left behind when they did? Why weren’t they working 24/7 on the Visa’s for our allies in the months leading up to the troop withdrawal, and at least quietly getting their families out of the country in anticipation of a collapse? None of this is rocket scientist stuff.
What all this tells me is that the rot from within is pretty far along. We may have more weapons and more advanced technology than anyone else, but it is all smoke and mirrors when it comes to real power. No doubt the Chinese, Russians, Iranians, and other bad actors see all this, and they likely know more than us common folk can possibly know.
I’ve long been a believer in the “long emergency” concept, and we’ve been in the midst of it no doubt, but now I can see a rapidly unfolding general collapse when some innocuous event begins to spin out of control. No different than a majestic tree that has stood for centuries falls suddenly. The bark we see on the outside looks healthy but the inside has slowly been rotting for decades.
President Trump saw the rot. That’s why I voted for him.
Where he went wrong was in underestimating the depth and breadth and length of the Swamp. But who didn’t?
The reason he got elected is that the Swamp underestimated us, his supporters.
There are over 75 million of us, and we aren’t all rural white men with pickup trucks.
Joe didn’t steal the election without the cooperation of Republicans.
I don’t think any of us, even those with the most vivid imagination, could have imagined the level of treason among our “elites”. Sure, we all knew that Obama hated America and did everything he could to reduce and malign it. But to see 99% of government agencies and the judiciary rooting for our enemies was a massive shock. May rope makers prosper over the next few years.
Speaking of shock: Remember SHOCK AND AWE? Nowadays it’s just shocking.
It was like your nice friendly uncle or grandfather would turn out be a pedophile and abused your cousins or sisters for years. Damn it was a shock to see how corrupted the system really is.
That actually happened my Step? Grandfather or step dad to my mom and her older sister actually did abuse my female cousin and years later in his senility actually told her about it as she had no memory of it. At 86 he tried to get a BJ from her on what he thought was a date. She would take him out for a drink once a month to get him out of the house after a stroke left him paralyzed on one side of his body after cancer took granny.
Both her parents bailed on her at a young age so she wound up living with my grandparents so she endured over a decade of abuse from every man in her life but her brother, me and her absent wiccan priest father.
She is now married to another women but has three kids from an abusive prick of an ex husband.
He was verbally and emotional abusive as well as withheld affection from her and a super control freak pot head.
I’m not his biggest fan to be honest.
He now grows dope in Alaska for living.
Yep.
“We may have more weapons and more advanced technology than anyone else, but it is all smoke and mirrors when it comes to real power.”
Sorry, but that is likely not true, unless you believe that the military is somehow hiding weaponry that’s 20 years ahead of what’s for sale out there now, and they are waiting to deploy at the proper moment.
In the world of what can be proven today for all to observe the US Navy is largely obsolete save for the submarine service, the F-35 is an acknowledged disaster, and the USA is several generations behind the Russians in hypersonic missiles (getting better though; the first test of airborne deployment failed to detach; the second test detached but engine failed ignition). Now maybe the wizards at skunk works have directed-energy weapons the size of i-phones that can destroy planets to say nothing of advancing armies, but in their infinite wisdom they have likely contracted with mainland Chinese to assemble.
Correct: Real power is not just about military technology. Geopolitical power is expressed through the productivity and unified will of the nation’s populace. E Pluribus Unum we ain’t.
But given the present situation I have a suggestion for the US Dept of State:
Don’t wait on the next anniversary of George Floyd’s death. Fly that BLM flag now!
I’m not savvy as to what our technology is compared to others. My point instead is that it is increasingly clear that we don’t have much in the way of real power despite the vast resources our military has.
I am employed by a blue state that has ordered its workers to get the jab or face possible “separation from employment.” The brass met with us this week, ostensibly to answer questions, but neglected to bring any answers.
They don’t have process for showing proof of vaccination yet. They don’t have a process for requesting exemptions. They don’t have a process for “discipline” should an employee fail to comply or if their exemption request is denied. They aren’t sure if the rules apply to contractors. They *think* two jabs are required by the deadline.
The brass however did an excellent job informing us of their pronouns and proclaiming that the vaccine was safe for pregnant *people.*
When asked how vital services would be provided to the public if thousands of workers quit or got the ax, they assured us contingency plans were in place, although some services might slow down a bit. It’s hard to know how they can feel assured of this when they have no idea yet how many workers are still “vaccine hesitant” and how many heads will roll.
One can only imagine what happens when HR is buried in a tidal wave of medical and religious exemption requests. It’s sure to be the clusterfuck of all clusterfucks.
Ha, that right! When all else fails do the American thing and bury them in red tape and paperwork. Type up dozens of needless Memos to make their heads swim. That should delay things for at least a couple of months. Think of this as a football game. We are all just trying to run down the clock on the 4th Quarter until the jig is up.
Refuse and pursue legal action. I cannot believe it can be legal to force an experimental vaccine on anyone. In the US you can collect huge settlements if things go your way.

Nice connection, very appropriate given the title of today’s article! What a classic sounding song, they don’t write or sing ’em like that anymore.
Memo to pro-vaxxers everywhere:
You’re gonna die.
All of you. Either with your lung and heart epithelia riddled with spike protein bullet holes, gasping for air as a bored doc fills out your final form as ‘natural causes’, or from an infected foot after your rusty hoe slices into it when trying to clear a row for your allotment of Bayer GMO corn seed.
But don’t fret. It’ll happen to Klaus Schwab too!, (even though the life force leaked out of him decades ago). And even if Dick Cheney’s bionic heart delays his family’s coffin purchase until 2040, is that how you want to spend the rest of your days? As a borg praying for your 85th booster? (There won’t be enough trees by then to make enough paper for your vaxx card to hold that many punch outs.)
“But the children!” you say. Well, what about them? You’ve already taught them fear and division. And I’m not talking about math division in school, a quaint subject, I’m sure, after it’s imminent replacement with The Amazing Contemporary History of Liberated Sierra Leone. What chance do they have against the tyrannical boot? Jejune, they’d just lick it as it descended over their faces.
All your lives, you played by the rules. You were admired (when not ignored). You may even have contributed a useful product or service for a while. Gave succor to a needy friend or neighbour. But this is now your legacy: a foolish trust in Nobodaddy. Because science! Concerned health professionals! The inevitable advances of technology!
Speaking of technology (in conjunction with instant digital erasure and Peak Oil), who will be the future equivalents of 14th century monks labouring painstakingly over their papyrus with aching fingers as the candle flickered low while they preserved precious information from the past? The human race will be as the dinosaurs. A curious speculative answer on an alien’s viewing of a Star Trek equivalent on exoplanet TrES-2b.
Pretty much everything digital, all terabytes of information, will be wiped out when the grid goes down and there are no servers to maintain everything. Even the cloud can go *poof* in the night.
This is why I buy and hold as many 19th and early 20th Century books, photos, documents, etc. as possible. This will be the cut off time of our civilization’s history. This is what the future will learn from in order to “build back better” our new culture and civilization.

I got news for you the “Cloud” is just someone elses server nothing more.
Archeologists won’t be able to see the trees for the forest.
If they can re-engineer equipment to read the hard-drives that remain readable and programs (JPG-Viewer, PDF-Viewer, etc.) to examine their contents, they’re more likely to salvage Gigs of Porn and Kitten Videos as opposed to footage of Henry Kissinger selling America out under President Nixon.
Just sayin.’
Actually most of those platter driven hard drives degrade over time and the ssd (solid state drives) lose everything once battery goes bad.
Oh yeah? It was my understanding that the 1s and the 0s written on a hard-drive are there for reading in perpetuity. Have you a source?
@oghawkins
I have seen with my own experience having been building computers for the better part of thirty years. I have hard drives from twenty years ago that are corrupt and even spinrite won’t recover all the data.
How ever there is this amazing thing called google or duckduckgo which can usually answers questions if posed in a coherent way.
The general consensus is that the magnetic platters in the drive will start to degrade in 5 years of storage. The bigger issue is that storage technology changes. That means a format that works today will be unreadable 5-10 years from now.

i~d believe you if you could show me any apocalyptic predictions that~ve panned out
until then, your rant is baseless
“There will be scoffers.”
it~s called healthy skepticism, given the abysmal track record of apocalyptica
btw OG, how many books are there in the bible
rube always has another tangent like God doesn’t know what He’s doing.
66 Books in the King James Version, rube.
Are you going to take the Mark of the Beast lest you be unable to buy and sell, rube?
Will you scoff all the way to Hell, rube?
An APOCALYPTIC prediction pans out only once leaving no one to reflect upon it.
Interesting point, michael.
Technically, all souls will have eternity to reflect and marvel at the Lord’s Word fulfilled.
strange indeed that jews are born in israel, muslims in the middle east, and christians in christian countries
btw there are 72 books in the bible, not 66.
66? sounds frightening, only one 6 missing. maybe you~ve been misled
Revelations is the most relevant book now. Of the Bible? No, of all books ever written.
Indeed.
except they never pan out
the apocalyptic predictions
rube:
People predicted End of Times
They were Wrong
Therefore, End of Times will never happen
Yes. rube is a dope.
For me, It is all relative and depends on the definition of “apocalypse.” If I read somewhere 40 percent of small businesses in America were closed down due to a lock-own, then I see that as an apocalypse of major sorts. You can also get creative and speak abut a “silent apocalypse” like say of small towns in the LE often mentioned in JHK articles. These are near-empty towns, partly boarded up, a shell of their former selves, with little to look forward to. You agree things don’t have to go Ka-boom.
A Canticle for Leibowitz
The irony is, even if we preserve the knowledge, there won’t be enough resources left to get anywhere near our high point ever again.
Russia and China had better get that space colony thing cracking!
I read A Canticle for Leibovitz several years ago. It’s not very well known anymore & most people would find it off putting b/c it recreates monasteries as viable places to preserve knowledge. I thought it made good points about how completely knowledge can be destroyed & how we never learn. Did you know the man who wrote it was in the plane that bombed the oldest monastery in the world?
TIL, thanks. That parallels Vonnegut…Dresden bombing.
A Canticle for Leibowitz – monasteries

Re: “latent effect of those jabs”, I have one friend who developed hives for 3 weeks, and her doctor’s office called to check on her and she did report it to VAERS. Another friend developed previously unexperienced dizzy spills and did not report to VAERS. I don’t imagine how we ever get much accuracy on side effects short of a large number of similar serious effects that get documented, and I hope we don’t. We seem stuck with anecdotes.
FWIW, both those people said they won’t get any booster shots.
We don’t even collect autopsy data on those who died right after getting the very much experimental shot.
Yet they expect approval.
The fearsome specters are autoimmune disease (really no fun at all and various different forms available) and ADE. Autoimmune diseases will take years to develop.
I can story top that, but I wont. The vax is dangerous.
Good post, Jim. The “Heebie Jeebies” is exactly right. This is precisely how I feel at the moment and so does every friend and relative I talk to. Each week brings a new avalanche of bad news and more a more disturbing evidence that our country is, for all intents and purposes…..leaderless…..with no one of substance standing in the wings ready to grab the ships wheel when TPTB finally drag Capt. Biden kicking and screaming from the bridge of the ship of state.
At this rate, history may record that the Titanic took more time to sink to the bottom than the United States did.
I’m just about to the point where I would welcome a Pinochet-style military coup with free helicopter rides for the Wokesters to follow.
I will take your Pinochet and raise you a Fijimora!
I will see your Figimora ante and raise you on Junta of Greek Colonels!
One, not “on.”
Heebie Jeebies is right. I wonder how many Taliban members shaved before jumping onto evac planes heading out of Afghanistan? And if you were a contractor or US private citizen wouldn’t you have gotten the hell out of there weeks or months ago? It was no secret the US was contemplating leaving at some point down the line
I heard that there are 300 journalists stranded there and am asking myself what are 300 western “journalists” doing in Afghanistan? Te place doesn’t seem to be that interesting.
To be embedded for the heroic final battle…that never happened.
The Americans stranded in Afghanistan are either 1. Foolhardy thrill seekers, 2. Misguided, naive super-patriots or 3. Greedy opportunists. Journalists would fall in the first category.
Right!
Still, it’s hard to believe there are 10 to 15 thousand American civilians in Afghanistan. Why so many??
On a lighter note, the FBI has come to the conclusion that there is no evidence of a coordinated plot behind the “attempted coup” on 1/6, so it seems that only existed in the fever dreams of Madame Pelosi and her sidekick Chuckie Schumer.
And don’t forget “sexy” little Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who thought she was going to be raped.
By the dude wearing the Buffalo Horns Head dress?
This may be just a rumor, but…
I heard that SexyLexy had to reimburse several hundred pre-paid subscribers to her livestream on Pornhub, after Bisonman was unable to find her. Not sure if it’s true, but I know I haven’t got my money back.
Ocasio-Cortez as a Latino Greta Thurnberg? Yes, no, maybe?
Right! Cuz suddenly the Gestapo need us on their side!
Sleepy Joe appeared kind of wobbly, looks to be on his last legs.

“The adults are back in charge”-Don Lemon, CNN, Jan. 20, 2021
Brh
I can’t find any headlines online about his latest press briefing address. Are they trying to edit things before everything is released?
Don Lemon is a fricking joke and possibly the dumbest person in broadcast right now and that says much!
I turned on the TV. Biden was speaking. I heard him say ‘guhmint’. I instantly muted the sound. I can’t fucking take it. Joe, the word is pronounced ‘guh vern ment’ goddammit. Bill Clinton would say ‘guh ver ment’ but that doesn’t cut it either.
Here in Dixie many of us say “Gub-ment.”
To Southern ears this sounds like “Sumbiches.”
Indeed, in many cases you’ll hear local area good ole boys getting particularly emphatic by saying “Gub-ment Sumbitches.”
It’s redundant, I know, but all of us Neo-Confederate types ain’t exactly known for subtlety. We kinda like begin’ direct about how we feel.
How does this all relate to Gumbo?
In one of his Made By Hand novels, Kunstler has Southerners mimicking apes when the subject of Blacks comes up. A most solemn tomfoolery. Hundreds of them!

The problem with this kabul situation is that it’s taking the focus off our two greatest threats: Climate Change and White Supremacy. We gotta get this straightened out pretty quick so we can continue dismantling the national grid, and rooting Whitey out of the US armed forces.
You forgot the shortage of personal pronouns! This needs to be dealt with first and foremost.
Climate change is a real thing. Stopping or reversing climate change is a big fat pipe dream. We’re all stuck on this crazy train, no stopping it, and jumping off will kill you.

Piggylosie says “WE” left some stuff behind……………
Yea, guess you could say that…………….
Congressman Dan Meuser said on Newsmax there are many questions the administration must face, including the decision to leave behind expensive U.S.-made weaponry including Black Hawk helicopters.
The Pennsylvania Republican said 158 Black Hawks were left behind for the Taliban to seize.
“That is a billion dollars worth of Black Hawk helicopters left behind,” said Meuser. “Speaker Pelosi refers to this as leaving some stuff behind. These people are thinking in an inverse manner compared to how my constituents certainly feel about this issue, and I believe, most rational members of Congress.”

FUQ it………. It was Only a Billon $’s worth………………..
Fnnnn Idiots
I don’t get it. It’s impossible to ‘forget’ to take all this hardware or ‘overlook’ it. Why the sudden bug-out? Why leave the equipment?
I know Biden is a drooling dipshit but somebody must know what the real plan is here.
I suspect to do to the Chinese what was done to the Russians and we Americans.
It might have been a way to get US weaponry into Chinese hands without a direct sale and yet another pay off to the Chinese for their support of the puppet Biden and Harris.
Syria comes to mind.
They were doing the same thing with Obama under Operation Timber Sycamore. Only then, they were arming their other proxy army: ISIS.
IOW, some people did something.
I know ya’ll are worked up over Afghanistan and the Vaxx but I have other fish to fry. The Peter fiasco resumes.
The wife just picked up Peter from the so-called rehab facility and brought him home. He had been there two weeks. He arrived back here more dead than alive, similar to the day we extracted him from a facility in Florida on Jan 24 this year.
In just the past few days his legs began leaking fluid again and the fluid stinks. The legs have to be wrapped and those wrappings changed daily. His arms and legs have all sorts of nicks and dings and scabs that result from falling into furniture and scraping against door jams.
Bo (that’s my wife) pulled up the driveway and called me on her cell to come help get him in the house and I should hustle because “Peter has to pee bad because they resumed giving him a powerful diuretic.” I came down from my mancave as quickly as my aching arthritic knees would carry me and helped Peter get from the car to the house. He tried to make it to the bathroom but fell a few feet short of the toilet and pissed his pants. The piss ran down and soaked his gauze-wrapped legs and into the black fabric part of his nice new sneakers. All these items got tossed down the laundry chute.
He put on fresh underwear pants and began to ascend to the second floor where he was headed to take a shower. Luckily I was right behind him and prevented a backward tumble down the stairs. He’s now sitting in his usual chair on the third floor. He asked me some inane questions that made me realize he is again losing his marbles. I can’t decide if this is age-related dementia (he’ll turn 75 on Oct 8th) or loss of memory due to insufficient oxygen to the brain due to his weak heart.
Further reports from the trenches will follow in the fullness of time.
WE need some background to fully appreciate the situation. How is peter related to you and what particular ailment is he stricken with?
Sorry Mike. Any commenter who’s been on this forum for any length of time knows all the background. I haven’t got a spare year to fill you in. Peter is my brother-in-law (BIL).
Q, why is he on the 2nd floor? He’s going to end up falling down the goddam stairs; then you’ll have a situation on your hands.
Q, why is he on the 2nd floor? – BRH
=======
Heckler, he lives on the 3rd floor, showers on the 2nd floor and occasionally eats on the 1st floor, but not always. Today, for example we got him showered to wash the piss off then up to the 3rd floor. My wife took him his dinner on a tray because he’s too wobbly to come down to the kitchen.
So his legs are holding water that is really end stage heart failure.
Try getting some ears of corn and making a tea from the corn silk it is a more gentle diuretic.
https://www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-corn-silk-tea
My sympathy for you and your wife taking care of someone in a downward spiral really should be for his children but alas it sounds like he did not have any.
For cognitive decline get him some beet root if he does not like beets there are plenty of beet powder gummies out there now.
Try getting some ears of corn and making a tea from the corn silk – benr

Hahaha, yeah, my wife is big on homeopathic stuff. I like to kid her that if she gets a fish bone stuck in her throat she should just hold a crystal under her lower jaw. I laugh and she gets pissed.
Anyway I’ll show her your recommendations. She loves beets and frequently makes borscht.
No, Peter and his wife never had kids……….thank God.
Speaking of his legs holding water, I watched Bo change his leg wrappings after dinner this evening. What a horror from the mid-shins down. I envisioned him as having taken the full blast from a roadside bomb to his legs in Iraq. I cringed at the sight of it and asked, “Peter, does that hurt?” He smiled and said “No.” When his legs were in a similar condition last January he said his legs felt like they were being stung by a thousand bees.
Is he diabetic as well?
That sound like neuropathy.
Geez, sounds like you are in for quite a long weekend. Good luck and keep up updated!

When it comes to seriously fucked up relatives playing on your relational generosity, the general rule is FUCK ‘EM, and the earlier the better. It’s like ripping off a band-aide; the earlier and the faster you do it, the better. No regrets!
I had to save your comment in “noteworthy quotes” so that next time one of the offspring comes begging for help I’ll know what to say.
Also known as being cruel to be kind or tough love. It seems harsh, but more often than not it’s the only way the two parties can escape with their mutual dignity. Codependent dysfunctional relationships are just the worst! They demean both parties equally.
Comedian Russell Peters said never ask white people for advice on parental relations.
Sounds like a nightmare.
Can you position him in a recliner so that his legs are up—ideally above his heart? That is, legs bent and lower legs resting on a higher surface such as the seat of an office chair? Also, say, pile of pillows. An adjustable recliner with leg extender would make this much simpler. Gravity really helps.
Compression socks could also help.
I have been told that diuretics can be counterproductive, because they can result in the body’s responding that it has to retain fluids.
Perhaps diuretics don’t know when to stop, so to speak, so the body ends up sensing impending dehydration and retains more fluids.
I have been prescribed diuretics for edema, and they didn’t help at all. What helps is keeping legs above heart. Also, certain lymphatic massage. There are also machines that you can get to compress the legs and move lymphatic fluid up toward the heart. I think diuretics are hard on the general system.
Perhaps his problem is not edema, but something else?
What is the diagnosis as to why his legs are actually leaky? Are there cracks in the skin? Are the legs so distended with fluid that the skin has cracked? This sounds pretty serious, with risk of infection. My father had such problems with his feet. It was terrible.
I have a whole lot more appreciation for President Biden now. He is not nearly as stupid of senile as he is made out to be. The occupation of Afghanistan and nation building was imbecile from the beginning and extremely costly.
Moreover it was of no strategic value as it was untenable in case of a serious confrontation with China and Russia simply because the supply lines were impossible to maintain, not even by plane.
And Biden is exactly right: if the Afghan army is unwilling to fight there is little America can do. I read they had about 30000 highly trained special forces armed to the teeth with the finest in US weaponry including as we now know 160 black-hawk helicopters and ground attack planes. That force alone should have been enough to keep the Taliban at bay.
The problem is that their superiors were utterly corrupt striking a deal with the Taliban to hand over their weapons so they themselves could get their stolen wealth to safety. It probably was as in the Iraqi army stood up by the US where the generals were “investors” (no military background required) paying a lot to get the position in order to embezzle money by various schemes:
(a) have lots of phantom solders on the payroll for which you receive money to be disbursed as salaries which you then keep yourself.
(b) Siphon off part of the salaries of subordinates, every superior officer would do this with all his subordinates until little was left for the common soldier.
We in the West welcome this human scum with open arms as “elites” adhering to our values — which indeed they do!
The Taliban will come right in with them, just gang members came in the Dreamers.

“right now they are hostages with which the Taliban can extract major concessions”
Our brave soldiers went outside the wire to escort 169 Americans to the airport. If Taliban were not telling the truth about letting Americans leave, that would have been the opportunity to attack. They didn’t.
Maybe they want them to leave… -_-
“Woe to that land that’s governed by a child.” – THE BARD
“The news media may wonder whether Afghanistan is heading back into the twelfth century, but many of us here are wondering whether this country will remain in the twenty-first.”
‘This’ country never made it into the 21st Century. Forget what the calendar says. America has been on an obvious down-slope since at least 1963 (Gee, did anything of note happen that year?). The post-war prosperity and the development of an enormous and solid Middle Class was set into a downward spiral and slow-moving death march that is nearing its completion in these days.
In the early 1960s there was a fork-in-the-road. The optimism and path of the early-jet-age Camelot America prosperity could continue and the Nation could retain its factories and its prestige and place as true World leader as well as its seemingly-solidly-embedded Middle Class… or it could take the other road downward to industrial devastation, national embarrassment, and that death-march toward eventual economic and social ruin for the majority of Americans. We know what road ‘They’ chose to take the nation down. Not for Them of course. Just for real Americans.
We were on the road the road to a sort-of Heaven. And instead They took us to Hell.
“In the early 1960s there was a fork-in-the-road.” — RS
“Mankind is facing a crossroad – one road leads to despair and utter hopelessness and the other to total extinction – I sincerely hope you … choose the right road” — Woody Allen
Seriously, though, “optimism and path of the early-jet-age Camelot America prosperity” was never gonna last. The early 60s was the sweet spot for sweet crude. This century? What did you think was the impetus and lynchpin for JHK’s works?
roundball,
I agree completely.
The death of Kennedy was our “road not taken” moment.
On so many levels, practical and spiritual, we have never recovered from the day. On some level we as a people—or maybe I am an outlier in this—have an unconscious drive, or fantasy, or dream, of somehow getting back to where we were then. Or perhaps is a type of mourning that continues for people who were teenagers then. It is simply unbelievable, what has become of this country. I still remember how elated and *relieved* I was when the signing of the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty was announced on the radio
Taliban has captured some pretty fancy weaponry, courtesy of President Biden, but according to the Wapo a few hours ago Taliban fighters are using whips on people in the streets of Kabul. Yes, whips. I’ll assert right here that at close quarters, a handmade whip is as effective as a $50 million Blackhawk Helicopter. Whips can be persuasive, as any viewer of the old Lash LaRue TV show can attest. Of course they carry also a nice new Colt or FN M4 (as a backup to the whip)

Why Are We Being Deceived About Covid?
Paul Craig Roberts
August 20, 2021
Why have US corporations involved themselves in public health policy? Why have they taken a position that is totally contradicted by all facts and all known evidence?
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2021-08-18/covid-propaganda-roundup-corporate-state-declares-all-out-war-unvaccinated
It is not only democratic governments that have turned totalitarian but also private corporations who are asserting authority to override the Nuremberg Laws and mandate that employees be vaccinated with the Covid Vaccine. A vaccination is a medical procedure and requires informed consent.
It is very strange to find corporations recruited to serve a coerced marketing campaign. We hear about the “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” But there is no such pandemic. All evidence shows that the majority of new cases are among the double inoculated.
Public officials and the presstitutes are implying that it is those who refuse the vaccine who are responsible for the new outbreak when to the contrary it is the vaccinated people who are the cause of the variants and new illnesses. As Dr. [Robert] Malone, the inventor of the mRNA technology used to create the vaccine, has patiently explained, the vaccine trains the virus to produce variants that escape vaccines.
https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2021/08/16/all-of-the-evidence-is-in-the-covid-vaccine-is-a-failure/
Considering the enormous number of deaths and injuries associated with the vaccine, we are faced with the conclusion that the vaccine gives those vaccinated Covid illnesses. Some have severe symptoms, some die, others don’t know they have it. It is the same as with the virus itself.
https://covidcalltohumanity.org/2021/06/07/nicanor-perlas-scientists-sound-alarm-vaccines-will-kill-millions/
The medical establishment has avoided autopsies of vaccine-related deaths. The narrative doesn’t want to acknowledge them. People ruined by the vaccine can get no help from the medical establishment. Finally an autopsy was done, and the first autopsy of a vaccine-caused death supports these conclusions:
“This post-mortem study only confirms our worst fears that the Covid-injections cause more harm than good, and may actually even speed up the spread of the virus.
“According to the report, researchers found that the patient’s entire body had become overrun with high viral RNA loads, also known as vaccine-induced spike proteins. This has been reported by many investigators and even further research on what really is in the vaccine. [Read Covid vaccines not as effective as you think to learn more].
“This indicates two things.
“1. The mRNA from the vaccine is not localized to the injection site where it’s supposed to be but spread on other organs. [Read New evidence explains how mRNA vaccines cause organ damage to see the evidence.]
“2. We know the decedent was exposed to Covid-19. The virus was in every organ in his body. Based on what we know about coronavirus vaccines in the past, this could be seen as a signal of antibody-dependent enhancement [Read What is pathogenic priming? And Briefing document on Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine shows evidence of pathogenic priming among older adults]
“This means that the vaccine cannot stop the virus from spreading [in Pfizer’s briefing document to the Food and Drug Administration, they already intimated about this, see FDA knew there would be many COVID cases among the fully vaccinated and Leaked Pfizer contracts show they knew of adverse effects and lack of long-term efficacy of vaccines.]
“We have been programmed to believe that we can only go back to normal through the vaccines. Our governments didn’t tell us that these vaccines are ineffective and do not offer protection. [In the article COVID vaccines not as effective as you think, we learn that the real reduction rate for these vaccines, what scientists call absolute risk reduction or the difference in protection rates between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated, is lower than 1% for some vaccines.] Expect massive propaganda of lies and panic especially with the advent of variants.”
https://covidcalltohumanity.org/2021/08/18/ground-breaking-autopsy-report-shows-the-vaccinated-had-toxic-spike-proteins-all-over-the-body/
No evidence exists that supports the claim of CDC director Rochelle Walensky that the delta variant is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
No evidence exists that the vaccine protects against Covid. Indeed, the vaccine seems to spread the virus.
We have learned that there is no such thing as “fully vaccinated.” The new program is endless booster shots every few months, the result of which will be an explosion in adverse effects from the vaccine.
The Covid policy is so counterfactual and so contradicted by all evidence that conspiracy theorists who see a darker agenda at work are gaining credibility. When a vaccine has proven itself not to protect but to cause unprecedented deaths and illnesses, how can any intelligent person arrive at the conclusion that more vaccine is the solution?
How is it possible that the president of the United States is so poorly advised that he said on Wednesday August 18:
“Earlier today, our medical experts announced a plan for booster shots for every fully vaccinated adult American. This will boost your immune response, it will increase your protection from Covid-19. It’s the best way to protect ourselves from new variants that could arise.” The American president’s statement is total ignorance and blatant nonsense.
Why the desperate rush to force the unvaccinated to accept the vaccine? Fear was the instrument for the original vaccine push. Shame and guilt are the instruments for the second push. Is the game plan to get the world vaccinated before the deaths and illnesses from the vaccine can no longer be ignored?
It should disturb everyone and raise very serious questions why the leading experts and doctors are censored by the media and their warnings ignored by politicians and public health officials. When leading scientists and medical experts are ignored by authorities, how can we trust what politicians and bureaucrats tell us about Covid and the vaccine?
The Covid Narrative is a controlled one. Scientists are censored and public debate by scientists and doctors is prevented.
Why? Is there a secret agenda to which health and lives are being sacrificed?

Better yet, import another 100,000 Ethiopians into Minneapolis there. Because we all know how well Ethiopia and Somalia get along.
No, the Somalis are harder than the Eithiopes. But the Afghans will be able to handle the Somalis.
At least the offspring between Minnesota blondes and Afghans will be roughly Caucasian, unlike with the Somalis.

Well, ladies and germs;
It has just been reported by Newsmax (a site you can trust) that the DC Cop who shot and killed Ashley Babbit has been…exonerated. The shooting was justified.
https://www.newsmax.com/us/babbitt/2021/08/20/id/1033212/
How progressive of the DC police. Why, back in the bad old days (1968) in Oakland California, the police department, reviled long and hard by the liberal media, had it’s own ideas upon which a shooting of a citizen might be considered “exonerated”. If my memory serves me correctly, the regulation K-5 of the Operations manual, demanded that a shooting could only be justified if necessary …
To defend your life or the life of another person.
Full stop, End of story.
In Oakland, there would be a shooting board to determine the need for the shooting. If an officer was remiss, they would hang you out to dry…terminated and then possibly charged criminally for manslaughter, or worse.
…exonerated….
Video of the trial:

Wow, it really IS a documentary.

It is pretty interesting to see how close we are getting. The part where our protagonist visits the hospital is very much what I would expect to see in the New Normal in about 20 years.
Many of our healthcare clients at work are pushing hard to roll out e-diagnosis and treatment in place of a face-to-face appointment.
Yes, it’s a GREAT movie and highly underrated, but I don’t think it has any actual connection with reality – now or in the dystopian future. Why would you make such a strange prediction?
‘A site you can trust.’ My god, I’ve been reading Kunstler since grad school and it’s shocking what he allows to be posted here.
Yes just look at the crap you spewed as raindogs and seawolf.

Ieonm,
Can you say “sardonic”? Can you spell it?
The “grad school” he’s referring to was 6th grade special ed. That jump to middle school was a big one, but riding the short bus everyday helped cushion the blow!
Leon, it sure looks like you’re allergic to free speech. Here’s a good antidote: research and refute. It’s totally within the rules here! Happy hunting!
The rest of the world is stepping up to the plate and will receive Afghan refugees that the US military evacuates.
The countries collaborating with the US include Albania, Bulgaria, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Mexico, Romania, Qatar, Rwanda, Uganda, Sudan and Ukraine.
That means flights out of Kabul will increase from 12 a day to 30+ a day. The Taliban have imposed a deadline the USA has to meet. To the victors go the spoils. Taliban is setting and enforcing the rules.
Yep
With 15,000 US citizens still hangin’ out incountry there. Who gives a fuck about them.
Certainly not the US government.
But hey. Why are you lounging around in a place like Afghanistan? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
This accusation is being proven wrong daily.
They aren’t really victors. They were allowed to roll in and take over.
More MIC stagecraft.
The Taliban, led by Abdul Ghani Baradar, is the undisputed victor of the 20-year war.
Donald Trump got the Pakistanis to release Baradar so he could lead negotiations in Qatar, based on Trump’s mistaken belief that Baradar would settle for a power-sharing arrangement. Trump was wrong about that.
Baradar signed the Doha agreement with the US in February 2020. Trump bragged about it, saying it was a breakthrough towards peace. But Trump got played by our enemies. It wasn’t “MIC stagecraft” … it was Trump getting outsmarted and helping the Taliban to a total Taliban victory.
Trump gave the enemy a fixed date. Baradar and the Taliban then just played for time, waiting for the Americans to leave and preparing a final offensive. The Taliban now has the spoils: humvees, weapons, helicopters, etc.
It is clear now that Baradar’s life (not MIC stagecraft) taught him patience and confidence in ultimate victory.
Unless by “MIC stagecraft” you mean Trump as Commander in Chief springing the leader of the Taliban from a Pakistani jail. What a stupid kind of stagecraft, Trump giving the enemy a date to wait out. Then Biden stupidly honored the agreement Trump made. What a clusterfuck!
It would appear to be a clusterfuck. It is not. This went exactly as planned. Everything is going exactly as planned.

I get your meaning Jim, but yes, I actually can with her being backed by the Obama clan. Last night, Tucker mentioned how despicable this spiteful choice was. A Barack black will soon be the figurehead leading this once great nation. Take that, Trump!
The exit from Afghanistan is messier than it should have been, but there’s a lot more blame to be spread around our leadership over the past two decades. I don’t think the Taliban will overstep at this point, they’ve gotten us out and now have the benefit of American weapons to support their cause, this being perhaps the biggest failure of our exit.
Then there’s this:
‘Where have all the Afghans gone
Short time passing

Oh, when will we ever learn?
Oh, when will we ever learn?
Coming soon to a neighborhood near you?
How about those Obama generals? I’d like to make them eat all that fruit salad hanging from their chests!
Oh come on now. Generals are Generals, no matter the administration in charge. They’re born cock-suckers to a man (and woman, and tranny, and whatever). That’s how they got to be Generals in the first place. I’m pretty sure if you look up their OPR’s it’s right their in the job description.
Somebody, sooner or later, from deep within the bowels of the Deep State will leak information obtained by one of America’s profusion of spies showing unequivocally that Trump, being in the service of both Russia AND China, subverted an orderly plan of withdrawal. This dog’s breakfast in Afghanistan, all Trump’s fault. All of it.
And so Deep State officials will put on their power-suits and mouth their officialese power-words into microphones, the bobble-head MSM will bobble. And the Sunday MSM talk-shows will fulminate and Judy Woodruff will be out of her skin. And Nancy and Chuck will demand immediate action be taken by the DOJ.
And that comedian, whatever his name is, will tell us that the former president is Putin’s cock-holster. And Xi’s too.
Talking about that old reprobate, Xi that is, he’s publicly saying that China’s wealthy need to curb their enthusiasm, that prosperity needs to be widely shared. Given the Chinese crack-down on tutoring companies, given the recent slap-down of Jack Ma, given that Chinese think-tanks are thinking that China urgently needs to increase ordinary people’s income levels, maybe there’s some serious intent there and maybe some serious action will follow. Maybe. Who knows.
And notice there’s no name-calling like “deplorable”, notice that there’s no accusations of racism, sexism, xenophobia etc. against folk lower down on the income scale. Just that they need more income.
Just for kicks, let’s imagine a Saigon moment like we saw in 1975, like we’re seeing unfold now in Kabul, but instead of it happening in some far-off Asian capitol, it happens in Washington. Is it plausible? Can you imagine it?
What the Deep State needs to worry about are The Plebs connecting the Dots! They were told Saddam Hussein had WMD and we overthrew or tried to overthrow: Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, Afghanistan. They lied about Russiagate.
So far so good for the Deep State until we got to the Covid 19 Scamdemic because NOW the Deep State was doing it to it’s own people and coercing and forcing them to take an experimental drug that has been proven to be unsafe and since the Deep State controls what Main Stream and Social Media say, they are at risk that The Plebs will realize they were suckered and lied to.
That usually leads to civil unrest and violence. Which is why the Deep State is willingly bribing The Plebs with free money and free rent.
Pretty hard to not connect the dots when they’re really big.
It’s reflexive really, the urge to look back and wonder, could any of this have been foretold? What was the first sign?
Some would say 1953, when the US and the UK scratched out a tie in Korea against China’s peasant army. Some would say the Bay of Pigs when the mighty, nuclear powered USA couldn’t uproot Fidel and his small band of Latin lovers just 90 miles offshore.
I guess the real question is the point of no return, when the USA stopped swirling around the accretion disk of failed arrangements and crossed the event horizon.
Maybe, as a start, consider that string of events you mentioned, all of them good candidates.
Rodster,
You put WAY too much faith in the plebes. As a group, we’re just not that smart. That’s how we got into this mess in the first place.
‘….but instead of it happening in some far-off Asian capitol, it happens in Washington. Is it plausible? Can you imagine it?
No, it’s not plausible but one can certainly imagine it.
It’s kind of hard to see “serioius intent” to increase the prosperity of ordinary Chinese in the “crack down” on tutoring companies. These tutoring companies paid Americans to teach English to children in China over Skype. China has made this illegal. Wealthier Chinese will no longer be able to use (and pay for) this tutoring in English.
You make it sound like tutoring children in English is a nefarious enterprise–and that you expect that less wealthy Chinese will somehow benefit economically from putting a stop to it.
The problem is the expense of this tutoring and the effect on household expense and also its effect on the birth-rate. China’s educational system isn’t like the US, it is cut-throat with parents clawing for any advantage for their kids.

Independent.co.uk: “The Taliban plans to ban drugs in Afghanistan. That could change the world for the worse”
August 20, 2021 by IWB
After the spectacular scenes of the fall of Kabul on the weekend, the Taliban’s spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid held a press conference where — along with complaining about being kicked off Facebook (the Taliban cancelled for their problematic beliefs? Somebody call Toby Young!) — he declared that Afghanistan was going to be drug-free.
“There will be no drug production, no drug smuggling. We saw today that our young people were on drugs near the walls; this was making me very, very sad that our youth are addicted,” he said. “Afghanistan will not be a country of cultivation of opium anymore…. We will bring opium cultivation to zero again.”
Zabihullah’s referring to the Taliban’s opium ban in the early 2000s, seemingly one of the few successful wars on drugs. During that time, the total area used to cultivate opium poppy (the flower from which the narcotic is extracted) fell from 82,000 hectares to only 8,000 (mostly under the control of dissident warlords). The opium gum from those flowers was then refined and processed first into morphine, then into heroin.

Canada’s Big 5 banks will mandate COVID-19 vaccines for staff
https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/big-banks-vaccines-1.6147410
The memo does not say what the punishment will be for non-compliance, but makes it clear that anyone who is unvaccinated will have a number of hoops they must go through.
“Starting November 1, 2021, there will be additional protocols for colleagues who are still not fully vaccinated, or have not disclosed their vaccination status, including the completion of a learning module about the benefits of vaccination, mandatory COVID-19 rapid testing, and the wearing of a face covering at all times,” the memo reads.

Canada’s “competitive” 5 Big Banks move in lockstep once again.
Big shock.
[I was with BMO at Head Office in Toronto, 1992-2014.]
It’s coming for all of us.
Canada and Australia are playing their people.
Not to be that guy, but a lot of the Taliban takeover photos appear heavily contemplated and framed…especially the ones that show bloodied bodies in the street. But they are approved by them, as they always have their guns prominently displayed, faces expressing joyful insolence.
It’s possible that the sun provides such rich lighting in Afghanistan. But it also looks fake.
The other option is that we’ve reached a stage of technology immersion that everything can and will look fake from now on. Videos, as well.
We are in strange times. And I have no doubt there is terrible shit happening there right now. But the media is approving all of this.
If so, one of the trapped thousands needs to get some footage of them arranging a scene.
If you’re talking about anything that appears in the MSM (or most of the rest of the internet these days either, for that matter), why would that come as any surprise? I pretty much assume everything I see and read is suspect to some degree or another now. That’s just how the world works these days. Caveat emptor, as the business stooges are known to say.
In one particular phase of World War II , one – forth of all Russian tanks were American made. And fully nine – tenths of of the Russian truck motor pool was American made.
This is according to American Lend – Lease figures.
— Also occasional Russian admissions.
— And also German tallies of equipment they captured.
Funny thing , though ;
Over the course of a lifetime I have seen I guess thousands of photographs of The Eastern Front in World War II.
But it is always Russian tanks , and Russian trucks.
I have seen — Maybe — a grand total of five or ten photos of American equipment in use on the Eastern Front.
So maybe those Nazi bastards were just lieing .
But the Americans and the Russians were telling the same lie too ???
That’s one reason among many why I don’t watch the news anymore.
Getting my news second – hand from CFN is , I figure , quite sufficient.
The News itself is NOT a first source.
90% of what you see on the News may not be shear lies per – se.
But what you are seeing typically is hardly the strait dope either.
90% of what you see on the News may not be shear lies per – se.
And therein lies the beauty. Truth mixed with lies in random percentages is always the devil’s best recipe.
“Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.”
Quotes by De Tocqueville
As one digs deeper into the national character of the Americans, one sees that they have sought the value of everything in this world only in the answer to this single question: how much money will it bring in?
The health of a democratic society may be measured by the quality of functions performed by private citizens.
A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it. – Alexis de Tocqueville
Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith. – Alexis de Tocqueville
Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.
Alexis de Tocqueville
When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness. – Alexis de Tocqueville
There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. – Alexis de Tocqueville
Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom. – Alexis de Tocqueville
The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults. – Alexis de Tocqueville
Yoho: Another one from memory: America is great because America is good. When it ceases to be good, it will cease to be great.
Now combine that with his: Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith. We have seen the falling away from religion on the part of Americans. Thus as we have been lositng faith, we’ve been losing morality, and thus liberty.
He seemed to know where we were going, noting even then our obsession with money. But apparently, it was checked by our religion and morality to some extent. No longer.
America is great because America is good. When it ceases to be good, it will cease to be great.
That one sounds good on the face of it, but it also sounds suspect both as a quote and as any sort of wisdom.
Then as now, it’s pretty damn hard to establish a quorum on exactly what “good” is in the first place, never mind establish the fact that America was ever uniquely (or otherwise) good – never mind great – among nations.
Now hubris and chutzah? That’s a trait that Americans – especially of the east coast DC-NYC variety – can definitely embody and embrace! I doubt there’s more than a handful of people in the world who would take issue with that statement.
Nonsense. The good is always the good, be it among Elves, Dwarves, or Men, now, a thousand years ago, or a thousand years from now.
One Man put it thus: Love the Lord your God will all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. And love your neighbor as yourself.
Too high? Indeed. We need “transformers” to lower this to a practical level – but without obscuring it utterly or lying about it. Obviously people favor their own race and nation. People who don’t are more likely to be crazed sickos not to be trusted with anything than saints or sages.
As for those who want to become the latter? Well the genuine Traditions have rituals where they die to this world. They certainly don’t get into politics with such a mentality. There are very rare types who can attain unto Wisdom and not lose their bearings in this world. Warrior sages. Philosopher kings. St Bernard. Ali. Krishna. The are too few to even bother talking about for the most part. But they can inspire certain people into being better leaders.
“Warrior sages. Philosopher kings. St Bernard. Ali. Krishna. The are too few to even bother talking about for the most part. But they can inspire certain people into being better leaders.” –Yoh
They are the focal point of all spiritual traditions, and are the only thing, ultimately, worth talking about.
They not only inspire practical leadership, they literally inspire the next sages and adepts. Without the originals, future masters are stillborn, and the lineage is watered down and dies.
I forgot. You’re still a died-in-the-wool idealist. That’s good though. We need a few of you around so everyone else can keep their bearings.
Societies as a whole? “Good” is a dangerous concept, as it all to soon leads to notions of “Exceptionalism.” See American.
But it also instills pride and the will of the people to work to maintain what they see as exceptional about themselves, even if it’s often ficticious.
Focusing on what sucks about us is what has gotten us to where we’re at now in America.
Exceptionalism is not the same as national pride. Pride doesn’t compare, it just says we’re “good” however we define it in our own right. No need to compare us to anyone else. Exceptionalism asserts that not only are we “good,” but we’re “better,” or possibly even **the best**. That veers off into pathology land really quickly, especially when manipulated by opportunistic “leaders,” who capitalize on such notions. And quite obviously, we’re not even CLOSE to being **the best** at anything anymore.
I think that in the past, Americans were guided by a sense of, and were therefore proud of, what this country should and would be. They had a shallow history in which to grow their pride, and they were painfully aware of that fact. They may have been optimistic, maybe even naive, but we could not say that they were basing their pride on a fiction.
We Americans of the present don’t look toward the future of our country as a source of inspiration anymore, we haven’t for a long time, instead we indulge in sugary fables of past glory.
Yes, aside from the practical morality I mentioned below, which Ashamed calls “natural morality,” there is “aspirational morality.”
If you think about it, this “natural morality” conforms pretty closely to Old Testament morality–the “thou shalt nots” that make possible mere survival and at least minimal prosperity. These are what Nock would have called “negative interventions.” It would be quite an exaggeration to call these strictures “the Good,” as they don’t proceed that far.
The visionary has seen “the Good,” or at least gotten a glimpse of it. (We probably cannot withstand more than a glimpse.) It’s hard to say how this might come about in a particular individual. Maybe it was an NDE or, more dimly, in an exstatic moment in prayer or meditation, or a simple response to beauty, or in response to “the saints and sages” of old and in the present.
To pretend that there is no such thing as “Good” is to pretend there is no difference between music and the sound of a grader going down a gravel road, or between a Ming vase and horseshit. (Which, by the way, seems to be the chief theme of much modern art.)
The task of the visionary who has “seen” is to manifest this same vision in his own person and actions. This is quite a job, as it’s difficult enough just to avoid the patently negative behaviors–no mean accomplishment–as when the rich young man said he had kept the law throughout his life, Jesus “loved him exceedingly.”
Thus the task of the visionary is to go beyond merelly refraining from destruction and proceed into the realm of “construction,” or manifestation of the Good. This is normally going to be undramatic: take out the trash, say a kind word, help and old lady across the street type of stuff, but, with humility, it can show forth on a larger stage.
This is (partly) what James DeKorne calls “the work,” though I have no idea what tradition he is drawing from. The other part of “the work” (as best I can make out) is to strengthen the personal connection to The Good. The idea is not so much to renouce the world as it is to take the clay in your hands (such clay as you have at your personal disposal) and make something good out of it.
Ant: Well said. Dis (Lawd of Chaos) don’t know the difference between a chamber pot and an urn. Thus he would the latter as the former – and then as a drinking cup as well. Like Einstein, he hates differentiation. Einstein used one soap for bathing and shaving. He was looking for God thru this and his attempt at a Unified Field Theory. An uninitiate, seeking in ignorance.
Soul: It’s said when Aragorn lay in state, he looked simultaneously like a beautiful youth, a warrior in his prime, and an elderly sage.
YoYo: ‘Lawd of Chaos’. I like that and just might adopt it! By the way, I too use liquid hand soap for shaving. Works just as well as the stuff you’ll pay more for but just makes a mess. You’re right, never was much for differentiation or integration either for that matter. Limits, on the other hand, are fairly intuitive though, don’t you think? Haven’t cracked the Unified Field Theory yet, but I’m definitely still working on that one. That’s why I keep all these otherwise worthless PhD’s around up here. Always a pleasure to exchange barbs with you, old boy!
By the way, that should have been “dyed-in-the-wool” idealist above. I’m surprised you didn’t latch onto that and give me a good old fashioned Q-type tongue lashing. You’re slipping, man!
Regardless of whether there is a consensus as to what “good” is, there is are baseline requirements for the perpetuation and prosperity of human societies. You can debate whether these baselline requirements are God’s laws or laws of nature, but there can be no doubt as to their existence.
E.g., without a Rule of Law whereby people cannot lie, cheat, steal, and kill with impunity, a human society will not only cease to produce anything at all, it cannot even survive. No one will grow crops or produce goods unless they are secure that they will not be stolen or simply destroyed. No one will engage in trade unless they have an assurance that the goods/money will be delivered and contracts honored (and enforced).
When we say that a people are “good,” what we’re really saying is that they conform to these iron laws with a minimum of external force. E.g., your ice cream shop doesn’t put melamine in the ice cream, you would never consider stealing your neighbors copper plumbing, and you don’t shortchange little kids who are buying a candy bar from you because you can get away with it.
Morality is only the manifestation of a selectively adaptive behavior. Religion and government are simply evil overlays, usurping our individual rights to judge and mete out reward and/or punishment according to natural “morality”. Does it get any simpler? I don’t think so.
So evil is just as good as “good”? Both for individuals, relations between individuals, and society as a whole?
I’m ashamed of you.
Evil and good exist on a continuum. They’re inherently slippery, because they’re interpreted by imperfect men.
You’re stubborn idealism betrays you at times, YoYo.
I should add, but at least you’re tackling the big questions. That’s commendable in itself.
Yo, where did I say anything close to “evil is just as good as “good””? For the life of me, I can’t understand how you arrive at that judgment. Please explain.
And, by the way, it’s just Toqueville, not de Tocqueville.
Tocqueville!
Tulsi Gabbard: Afghanistan. At her best here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16_YskdLFzQ
Too bad she’s basically a youthful apologist who doesn’t yet see the big picture and embraces half-measures. The “elite” she decries here so passionately took care care of her accordingly, just as they always do. She’s hamstrung by her naive belief in “the system.” She’s young, she’ll get over it eventually, by which time she’ll also be inconsequential as far as real change is concerned. That’s just how it works.
I had hope for her, but she showed her true colors before they stole the election.
No one that supports the system over reform of the system can ever be trusted. Trump was tossed out by the system because of the threat he presented to it.
Tulsi presents no real threat.
Trump was tossed out on his voluminous ass by a significant majority of voters because he’s a fool and had no coherent policies or an alternative vision to offer. He embodies the narcissistic streak so prevalent in assholes like you.
I encourage you to keep up with these sorts of posts.
Seeing you banned a fourth time would be hilarious.
Projection is a hallmark behavior of those afflicted with narcissistic personality disorder.
“The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”
You certainly win the prize for the biggest moron to grace these pages. Anyone with an IQ on the north side of 70 knows that the election was a farce, but you believe that the dementia patient who couldn’t get 50 people to show up for a political rally somehow defeated the guy who could get 50 thousand on 30 minutes notice.
Turn off Maddow and start reading.

Wilburshuman:
The definition I identify with is:
“REDNECK – white coal miners who belonged to labor unions (in West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, western Pennsylvania, and southern Illinois and Indiana)”
Redneck has always meant both hillbillies and coal miners to me. The latter adopted the red bandana worn around the neck as a symbol of worker solidarity between white and black miners striking against the 1%’ers of their day, the mine owners, becoming “rednecks.” Most of them, white and black, would have also been considered hillbillies; residents of the hills and hollars of the Appalachias and the Ozarks.

Narc Troll – please state your grounds for calling for my 1st Amendment rights to be quashed by JHK? Otherwise, STFU.
My post did not call for you to be banned.
I don’t want you banned, nor is it up to me.
Your words have, however, gotten you banned and openly called out by JHK on several occasions — including under your current handle.
Perhaps you should think about that when engaging with others.
We, the People, could have had the best-looking president ever – if nothing else.
They, the Democrats, could have easily shattered that glass ceiling – twice, with one shot (woman and “person of color”).
That the Democrats shot her down and shut her up is to her credit – if nothing else.
When Tulsi says that we should stop destroying other countries, downsize our military and bring it home, does she realize that doing so will bring our klepto-capitalist economy crashing down?
I should have learned to surf…
Her very beginning is questionable, but her heart is in the right place.

Thanks for sharing the Tulsi Gabbard YouTube. My being a political moderate that currently leans right of center, she was my top choice amongst the clown brigade that ran. I knew that she never had a chance given her willingness to buck the system, but she’s young. Maybe someday.
rube: strange indeed that jews are born in israel, muslims in the middle east, and christians in christian countries
What is strange about that, rube? That makes perfect sense.
You bring baggage of all sorts of misconceptions and red-herrings to important matters, rube. God knows what He’s doing while you look at the complex Reality and somehow assume that He does not.
God will judge the living and the dead based on their circumstance. Based on their heart. Jews, Muslims, Christians et al.
You think that perhaps I’ve been misled Believing in God’s Word. You are lost, rube. God would not allow me to seek Him but be misled. God knows our heart, rube. God will put the Right translation in front of the Right worshipper. Every single time. TruStory
You never answered my question, though, rube:
Are you going to scoff all the way to Hell?
Some Carnies call themselves Rubes all the better to trick the real rubes.
I think what Rube is pointing out is that religion is nothing more than cultural. It doesn’t seem very fair that someone misses out on serving one of the gods just because he happened to be born in Karachi, or vice versa.
Two billion Christians say one thing. Two billion Muslims say another. One way or the other, a lot of people are labouring under a falsehood. Consider that might be you.
And I am saying that God is Great enough to judge each and every soul (whether born in Karachi or Tel Aviv or Moose Jaw) based on their circumstance. God knows the soul, its heart, its intention.
You and rube assume that I Believe that all Muslims will go to Hell but I never said that and I do not.
You see? The whole problem is your bad assumptions.
Plus there is more history than that, Slugger.
rube “reasons”:
There are several translations of The Bible.
People, not God, compiled The Bible.
Therefore, we can’t know the Word of God!
This is the intellect I’m dealing with here with rube, Slugger. I shit you not.
Hey OG…………….
I like that……….”People, not God, compiled The Bible”

My Favorite Quote From a Navajo Elder……….
WE, Had The “Creator”………………
Well Before, You had Your Bible.
I thought you would have believed that as well. But your insistence of fundamentals is evidently no such Fundamentalism. Interesting. Impressive. Perhaps I should have known better since you never really objected to my universalism. In my own defense, you present in a unique way, and use high IQ differently than any I’ve ever encountered.
Now what about Messianic?
Yo, universalist? I never… But I guess I should have, given your catholic interpretation of fascism and your reverence for Catholicism despite its crumbling, graffiti-splattered facade and questionable foundation.
Hey, ya work with what ya got.
No, I don’t assume that at all and haven’t accused you of saying anything. My point is that two billion Muslims would tell me that you are wrong and that Allah is the one great enough to judge each and every soul, which makes me wonder, what’s the point of believing anything if the ‘real’ god will adopt me regardless?
It’s not a contest. God opens the eyes of the blind and sends blindness on the proud.
The point of “believing” is to find out if you have “root in yourself”. If truth is valued by you you do not give it up, and you do not deny it.
The bloodthirsty think that cutting a man’s hand off for theft is deterrence with NO empathy for the man. Now he is crippled for life and instead of helping build up society he his a curse to his own.
The Justice of God restores people while man’s laws, traditions and commandments ruin the people and bless the wicked.
Two billion Christians say one thing. Two billion Muslims say another. One way or the other, a lot of people are labouring under a falsehood. Consider that might be you.
Your little people brain cannot understand how all 4 billion could be correct. You apply human logic to God. In error.
Our little people brains cannot reconcile that 7.6 billion people have Free Will yet God has also written exactly what will transpire.
Our little people brains cannot comprehand the slightest sliver of God”s Power. Right down to our capillaries.
It’s not a contest. God opens the eyes of the blind and sends blindness on the proud.
Messi does not say much but still waters run deep.
St Paul called us to be agons or athletes. Who will take the the wreath, the crown of glory? Let the Devil take the hindmost!
How about this for a scenario: The Biden family is completely bought and paid for by the CCP. The CCP has long wanted the US out of Afghanistan – too close to them + mineral wealth under the earth. They knew they could never get Trump to leave in a way that would allow them control. So, they help engineer a fixed election to elect a compromised “president” in every way – cognitively and ethically and morally. Said “president” who was an enthusiastic booster of every war the US fought in his time in office, including the Afghan incursion suddenly, as soon as elected, wants to get all the troops out of that particular country. And, he does so in such a precipitous, slipshod manner that the Taliban is able to waltz back in to the presidential palace in Kabul. The minute (literally, the minute) they do, China welcomes them in the diplomatic cohort of countries. Biden, again very literally, just got the US troops out – noone else, no foreign citizens, no Afghan allies – only the US troops who could have held off the Taliban.
Now, Biden is hoist. He has to keep denying what’s going on because he can’t be forced into sending troops back in. He has to act as if the Taliban is somehow legitimate to appease his CCP masters. He also has to run from the consequences because he can’t be forced into sending troops back in…
Possibilities abound. His own people and even CNN are attacking or contradicting him. Strange indeed.
Can Biden take this kind of heat? Who will be Kamala’s choice for VP, Michelle Obama? Maxine Waters? Cori Bush? Pressley?
Nightmarish scenarios loom.
Night be Stacy Abrams, (Governor) of Georgia.
“Can Biden take this kind of heat?” I think so. The heat under the Big Guy is one of those electric fake logs in a fake fireplace that were so popular back in the fake-is-cool ’70’s.
The Ho – in my opinion – is worth more as a martyr than in the White House. Another BIPOC gem lost to white nationalists. Fire up the BLM grill, them peaceful celebrations gonna burn straight through the winter.

brh
rundmc,
Dr. Peter Breggin has pointed out that both Biden and Fauci are deeply compromised by the Chinese.
He as a book coming out titled something like “The Global Predators: We Are the Prey.”
Breggin is great. As a psychiatrist on the inside, he blew the whistle on the entire evil enterprise.
Yes.
I find him very impressive. Also the intellectual partnership he has with his wife, Ginger. I copyedited one of his books.
I think his basic thesis re covid is that the Global “elites” think they have China by the b—-s but actually China is going to screw them in the end. ??? He states that his book is heavily documented, with over 1,000 source notes.
He is something of a Jewish supremacist (comes out in his interview with Reiner Fuellmich)—that makes me somewhat uncomfortable . . . .
But he is an old warhorse—been in the fight against Big Pharma all his life.
Here is his website, with some further links:
https://breggin.com/
One of the links there is to “the-future-of-the-vaccine-war-against-humanity-revealed/” (I am not posting whole link to avoid being flagged as spam).
Here are the first two grafs:
“A new report in Science led by Ralph Baric’s team from the University of North Carolina defines the tragic future for humanity through the endless vaccine assault. Baric is the leading “gain-of-function” researcher in America and a collaborator and instructor for the Chinese Communists at the Wuhan Institute. Their joint efforts led to the creation of SARS-CoV-2. Baric’s research, well-funded by Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious diseases (NIAID) and by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), defines the future planned for us by the global predators.
Making SARS-CoV vaccines, despite decades of animal trials, has never been safe or effective. First, this type of virus rapidly and unpredictably mutates, quickly leaving behind the latest vaccine. Second, the method used, injecting RNA into the body to force the body to make SARS-CoV spike proteins, is itself very harmful. When our immune system detects the presence of the SARS-CoV spike protein, it attacks it with antibodies and lymphocytes. This causes cell death and other complications. Worse, the spike protein itself is toxic to cells. Among other things, it can cause bleeding and clotting throughout the body. In a very ugly twist, the spike protein is engineered in such a way that it especially attacks the ovaries, potentially causing hormonal irregularities and sterility. . . .”

This Kabul debacle is f#kkng up Hunter Biden’s high end art auction, which was scheduled for this week. Why would anyone pay $500,000 for one of Hunter’s worthless watercolors, expecting access and influence with the Big Guy in the Oval Office, when The Big Guy appears to be on his last legs, and won’t be in the Oval Office much longer?
Of course, some Comrades are saying Hunter is indeed a great artist, and his work can stand on it’s own. Who am I to judge? Has anybody ever seen one of his paintings? Have any of them been critiqued by experts?
Expect plenty of MSM obsequious asskissing and fawning when Heels Up assumes command, worse even than when Obama got elected. The rest of the world might not be as impressed with the HISTORIC OCCASSION.
brh
When it comes to art all bets are off. It doesn’t matter what any one of us may subjectively think. Somebody out there will pay top dollar. But as they say, all the money in the world can’t buy class. Or a functioning brain it would seem.
Looks to me like all “the smartest guy I know” did was sneeze while snorting coke off a hooker’s ass – and blow the coke, blood, and boogers all over cheap printer paper.
That said, when can we expect some of his “maps” to show up on the auction circuit? Or are those only distributed as gifts among the inner circle?
I’d agree with an art critic who said it’s better than you would have expected – if you like that kind of thing (modern art) at all. I generally don’t, but I like his colors and some of the patterns he uses.
Some of it might be ok as far as it goes; I’ve read that UCLA art students produced any work that is available for sale. I’m sure those students will be well paid for thei efforts, and to keep their mouths shut.

The Australian government is currently seizing 24,000 children from it’s citizens to place them in a stadium quarantine camp to be forcibly vaccinated. Parents will not be allowed to attend, as National File previously reported. Australia is currently establishing COVID-19 quarantine camps for citizens. Furthermore, citizens will be charged with “on the spot” excessive fines up to $5,000 per infraction if they violate the tyrannical COVID-19 rules as their children get sent away to get forcibly vaccinated despite their protest as Australia conducts one of the most authoritarian military lockdowns to date.
Some pointed out that the scene on the ABC in Australia looks similar to the Bohemian Grove ceremony that is attended by some of the most powerful men in American politics, business, and media. However, the Bohemian Grove ceremony seems to be much more sophisticated and organized.
If Aussies don’t stand up now, then they lose their children and their future.
Place started out as a prison colony.
Are the surviving aboriginals included in the roundup of the herd (cattle-drive simile intended)?
I find this incomprehensible.
There is no reason for jabbing youths in the first place.
And certainly not for separating them from their parents.
And certainly not if the parents do not agree to the jabbing.
And certainly not to isolate youths from their parents and then ‘work”on them to pressure them to be jabbed.
I agree that if Australian parents and citizens allow this to proceed as described, a terrifying milestone will be passed.
i see this a first step toward channeling and initiating teenagers into some kind of organization that eventually takes control of adults and starts bossing them around and humiliating them—as during the Cultural Revolution. Young people have very strong herding instincts. One of the challenges of raising teenagers is to teach them ethics, and to teach them to think for themselves. This is not desired by TPTB in Australia. It is quite easy to organize teens into gangs and convince them that they know better than their elders and empower them to act on this adolescent know-it-all conviction. They think this rebelliousness shows that they are grownups. This whole initiative is freaking me out.
You SHOULD find it incomprehensible, Islander, because it’s just not accurate. It’s the usual BS from the same ol’ Narrative Purveyors, taken up and spread around by undiscerning bias-confirming narrative junkies.

No, it doesn’t.
There’s ‘purported’ film of the BG ritual posted somewhere deep in the interwebz archives (I saw it some 15 years ago). What it DOES look like is some half-assed 1st-year art student project, and the ‘director’ probably has an older brother, who works at the TV channel, who slipped it into the newsfeed for shitz’n’giggles.
This has happened before with hard-core porn. Nothing to get all CT -excited about. Apply some critical thinking, for fuck’s sake.
Looking like hurricane Henri is headed for New England, based on latest projections. Landfall noon-1 PM Sunday, traveling NW and hooking through Albany. Believe JHK is NE of there, and may miss the worst. Still a prodigious amount of rain that can’t be good for a garden at peak production. 🙁
Western CT and MA look to be in the path of the storm. Think BRH and StElmosFire are in that neck of the woods, along with some others here? Hope all you folks have gennies and plenty of fuel for ‘em. And chain saws at the ready for the downed tree limbs.
Stay safe and dry everyone!
Thanks for that post Tully, I’ve made some preparations, but now its occured to me — charge the battery on my electric chain saw, and mix up a batch of fuel for my Stihl.
Henri? that Frenchie storm can bite me. Just a sprinkle. We need the rain. We only got 16-17 inches in July. While the world crashes I’m sittin’ here listening to the comforting pop-pop-pop- of my canning jars sealing. This storm will surely break the rest of the groaning branches of my way overloaded apple trees. Two generators, three chainsaws, 200 gallons of gas,600 gallons of diesel,20 gallons of wine in the carboys, 3 4-wheel drives, I’m good for a day or two without power.
LOLOL. Good for a couple months at least. Hope the apple trees don’t take too much damage. Applewood can be a nice addition to the smoker though. 😉
I just started using chips from old bourbon barrels in mine.

I might even be tempted to bring over a jug of my two year aged mead!
Yes, you can tell a lot about a hurricane by its name.
I remember Georges – the first gay hurricane – back in ’98. Bitch-slapped Key West then ran away up the east coast.
I remember a co-worker misidentifying Katrina as Kaitlyn or Kiersten or some other made up name (sorry Kaitlyns and Kierstens out there…). My forecast: a lot of noise, not much else. When I realized the name was “Katrina”, well of course my first thought was “Katrina and the Waves“. Abrupt change of forecast.
Ivan – the Terrible of course. Slammed into the panhandle, hauled ass up to Virginia, slammed on the brakes, skidded around, drove back to Florida, kicked in the front door, kicked out the back door, and busted up the furniture on the way through. I think that jersey’s been retired.

Hell yes.
A similar hard-on to the whopper of January 6th?
@rl
The truth is about half the country and possibly the world have had a belly full of people like you.
People with a belief system that when they manage to get a position of power they poison everything and tear down everything of worth, moral and traditional values.
Everything your type touches turns to shit.
@benr – ‘half the country’? Sorry sunshine…you’re lost in confirmation-bias-dreaming.
@rl
Says the guy awash in his own feelings of superior intellect.
Everything you post is flat out wrong in almost everyway.
Some interesting connections. Klaus Schwab and Pope Francis are spiritual brothers, both disciples of a charismatic Brazilian Bishop who was one of the chief Vatican Two Fathers and the leader of the “Catacomb Pact” to create a “Church of the Poor”.

Ha! I was just asking when they would stand up. Glad to see it!
‘Ol White Joe gave (err.. I mean accidentally left behind) some weapons for the Taliban. His boss Obama did the same thing in Benghazi back in 2015. Left a few Navy Seals and Ambassador Stevens dead.
Here’s a partial gift list list:
a) 174 High-Moibility Humvees (hope the SirusXM radios still work)
b) 10K 2.75 high-explosive rockets
c) 60K 40mm
d) 9 million rounds .50 cal BMG
e) 20 million 7.62 rounds
f) (45) UH-60 Blackhawks
g) (6) A-29 light attack aircraft
h) (50) MD-530s
i) a couple C-130 Hercules
Anyways, a complete list is too long, it would take pages, then I’d miss Sleepy Joe’s staged photo of from Camp David.
Well, we can see for ourselves Taliban carrying around shiny new M4 carbines. It’s not like they got alot of use by the Afgan National Army.
What is the name of the virus variant breaking through the triple vaccinated?
Captain Trips of course! Spooky!
It’s not so much of a variant as much as it is just the vaccines ultimately doing what they were meant to do?
Meh…more like Steamboat Trips Jr.
Satan’s Trifecta
Wowwww, that brought back some memories………

Can’t even Imagine, how it will play out, In real life !
https://dailystormer.su/australia-extends-total-lockdown-to-at-least-the-end-of-september/
See bottom video. Man taken out of his home for quarantine because he “tested positive for covid”. If they want you, you will be found to test positive. But how?! They’ll simply adjust the cycle they test you with. Everyone tests positive above 45 or so.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers?
In a way it is yes imho. There could be something toxic that they put into you with that test so don’t take it. If you shine a black light on the vaxxed you can see their veins glowing. That is maybe an easy and quick way for them to identify the unvaxxed when they start chasing people down in the streets kinda like they way the pod people did in the movie.
There is that scene where the old man was running shouting “Help They’re coming!” But,seriously though, did you write glowing veins? Surely you script…
Nope,
Video running around on bit-chute………..
people holding their arms and Hands
under black lights……….
And Yup, The veins glow…………
Soooo, what is next
Ah-ha… This must be the next stage on the perilous descent of the “vaxxed”, once their magnetism passes, huh.
Have you tried this on your unvaxxed, pure blood, SSL, to be sure it’s ONLY the ‘vaxxed’?
The Australian government is currently seizing 24,000 children from it’s citizens to place them in a stadium quarantine camp to be forcibly vaccinated. Parents will not be allowed to attend, as National File previously reported. Australia is currently establishing COVID-19 quarantine camps for citizens. Furthermore, citizens will be charged with “on the spot” excessive fines up to $5,000 per infraction if they violate the tyrannical COVID-19 rules as their children get sent away to get forcibly vaccinated despite their protest as Australia conducts one of the most authoritarian military lockdowns to date.
I cant prove that ^
I heard about that. There is a lot of weird stuff happening in Australia. Did you hear about this? Maybe this is all some gigantic ritual sacrifice?
https://nationalfile.com/video-australian-broadcasting-corporation-airs-weird-satanic-scene-during-botched-broadcast/
How about if you live in some dusty town in the Outback. Is that where freedom lies?
I’m not sure but it would make sense that one could possibly be more free in the Outback than in the cities. Same as here I would guess. The extra dust would be unfortunate imo lol but perhaps not the greatest concern if one has to seek refuge there in the first place and all.
“Maybe this is all some gigantic ritual sacrifice?”
Why the question mark there, SSL? If you want to successfully start a new CT, there’s no room for doubt! Just ask MaryVogt.
“I can’t prove that ^”
Surely, you have SOME sources for reference? It sounds like a load of contrived interpretation for the purposes of a particular narrative to me. That being said, it can be argued that Australia is probably THE MOST REGULATED modern Western Civ society around. Just try applying for a “.com.au” web address. Ha!.
I’ve been having a discussion about some of the technical aspects of the mRNA gene therapy with JohnAZ, whom I think is a nurse. I can’t seem to find him anywhere on the log today; hopefully he has not succumbed to the mRNA shot which he admits to having taken. But, the point I wanted to make is that an autopsy report published recently in IJID, showed the S1 glycoprotein spike (THE TOXIN of covid, produced in mass by the mRNA ‘therapy.’) in every organ in the decease patient’s body. EVERYWHERE IN THE BODY. This is very different from what happens with real vaccines. Something bad is going on. Either extreme idiocracy or mendacity, or both.
Here’s the reference for JohnAZ and others who are interested. This is Very serious stuff guys, and the PTB just keeping pushing it.
June 2021 edition of the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, article entitled, “First case of postmortem study in a patient vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2.”
On the plus side, when this stuff finally kills you, you’ll be REALLY, REALLY dead! Who says there’s no silver linings?
I’m going with BOTH above as well, although I think mendacity is the driving factor here. It’s actually pretty hard to be this stupid on purpose.
This the first thing that made me laugh today my mood is so low. I am hearing of people I know getting very ill. Some were already very sick but their condition has worsened in unexpected ways. A young man in Wexford who wanted to be able to travel to Dubai got the vaccine on a Friday recently and died on the Tuesday. None of the Irish media have mentioned the vaccine when reporting it. I have been asking colleagues if they know the official death toll from the vaccines in Europe (5,200 as of 14 July according to the European Medicines Agency: you have to search for each of the four vaccines separately, do a Ctr F search down through the document looking for the word ‘fatal’ and then add the figures) and nobody knew and neither had anyone hear vaccine deaths ever mentioned in the media.
I think it is a mixture of greed, delusion (fantasy), incompetence, stupidity and wickedness.
I forgot insane.
Oh but Sean! Thank GOD for the covid19 vaccine, because otherwise the Wexford’s man’s Covid19 case would have been SO much worse!
Primarily, fear and ignorance are driving this, plus the usual, generous slug of slothful naïveté.
see my post above.
If the vaxxed are filled with these spike protens then it seems like they are likely shedding lots of spike proteins too. I have seen some alternative theories out there that the government internment camps will be for the vaxxed who end up with something resembling Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.
They are. A clause in the German constitution was changed a few months back to make it impossible to take any legal action against the government for the shedding of “microorganisms” from the vaxxed.
The shedding is also discussed in Pfizer’s literature.
The only thing we don’t know is just how damaging it is. But hey, they changed the constitution here, so this action would suggest it ain’t too good for you.
This psychopaths need to hang.
I think they underestimate us. I am enjoying seeing lightbulbs going off in some covidiot heads.
Yes. They have NO IDEA.
I haven’t been able to reason with anyone on the dead seriousness of the injections. Maybe it’s just me, but every attempt has been rejected out of hand. They will not listen to solid data and factual, informed medical opinion, only loudly regurgitate CNN/NPR talking points. It is hopeless. These are not strangers, and I care a great deal for some of these people. The older are far worse in this regard than the younger. I really don’t wish to wash my hands of it, but it’s sure to be looking that way.
Hmmm microorganisms?? That’s creepy! What sort of microorganisms I wonder? It’s also amazing that they did change the constitution. That is strange. And here I imagine they wouldn’t bother going to all that trouble. They will just go around it with their actions anyhow or so it seems. And it looks like Pfizer will get their vaxx approved by the FDA next week. It would be great if whistleblowers would come forward before that but I’m not too hopeful since they are raking in billions right now.
Prof Sukharti Bhakdi would agree with and so, I am afraid, would I. I really hope our fears are unfounded.
I hope our fears are unfounded, too.
I also hope that friends and family who have been vaxxed are stating to think this through, and maybe declining any boosters.
Here’s the article neurodoc cites:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8051011/
Yeah. I read it. I think neurodweeb extrapolated all of his apocalyptic conclusions.
Back at the time of Katrina, I was vacationing in Canada and can recall sitting in my hotel in Quebec City just staring at the TV incredulous at the profound ineptness of the federal govts response, or lack thereof. How could a country of 300 million people be unable to muster a cohesive response for days on end? How could we be unable to evacuate hospitals or at a minimum bring in adequate supplies to them? How could we not muster enough helicopters and boats to rescue people off of the roofs of their homes? Get enough food and water into that convention center, and maybe some porta potties too? Big as Katrina was, it was just a regional event. I knew then the federal govt could in no way manage a national emergency.
During the Obama years the corruption in the upper echelons of the FBI, Justice Dept, State Dept, and more became increasingly evident and since then we’ve come to the point that they barely pretend otherwise.
Then comes along the pandemic and we learn the hard way that despite all the money thrown at pandemic planning in years prior, there weren’t any plans at the federal level, or at least none that made any sense. And we saw that States and cities also didn’t have anything one might call a plan either. They didn’t even know how many working ventilators we had, let alone where they were, nor what was available for stockpiled supplies. That it came as a surprise to them that the just-in-time production system could not magically give them everything they wanted spoke volumes concerning their incompetencies. How could it have been a surprise to public health officials that most of what they use everyday was produced overseas?
Now we have the debacle in Afghanistan. I have absolute respect and admiration for the troops, but the lack of leadership and the lack of even the most basic competencies will now needlessly cost many lives of the ones we leave behind. The same goes for the intelligence agencies and the administration. It is painfully apparent there weren’t any plans for dealing with the fall of the Afghan govt. No plans for evacuating Americans or our allies & their families., No plans to disable the Blackhawks and other high value military hardware before the Taliban seized it. No plans on where to take those that do get evacuated. No plans to rapid process the exits of our Afghan allies & their families. No plans for anything of consequence.
As much as I might wish it weren’t so, I have no faith in any branch of our govt. to protect the interests of the American people or our allies. It is as if the US has become a shell of a country that has rotted from within. Our institutions have failed us, and they don’t seem to care. We are truly on our own.
The mayhem we have seen unfolding across this country (and since we are the Greatest – across the world) over the past couple decades (and longer) may look like lack of planning, but I suspect that it is actually the result of very detailed planning.
New Orleans – controlled demolition. Blackhawks – gifts.
You bet. Meticulous planning down to the smallest detail.
“Plus there is more history than that, Slugger.
rube “reasons”:
There are several translations of The Bible.
People, not God, compiled The Bible.
Therefore, we can’t know the Word of God!
This is the intellect I’m dealing with here with rube, Slugger. I shit you not.”
==================================================
you seem worried
you do indeed condemn others to hell in your self-righteousness
Not that this is addressed to me but since you are mentioning.. It very well seems that condemning others to hell in your self righteousness is a common and reoccurring theme throughout human societies and history. Hell being a state open to interpretation I presume? A very recent example of such is the self righteousness of those who say there must be a survelliance police state to protect public health.
You are completely misunderstanding me, rube.
I am not worried. Not in the least. Rather, I watch the Lord’s will and Word fulfilled and marvel in the Glory.
And how dare you! I damn nobody to Hell. I am a mere mortal trying my Best to walk towards the Light and to inform others that they too should walk towards the Light.
I know my place.
God will do the judging on Judgement Day, rube. I thought that we all know that.
———
rube, are you going to scoff all the way to Hell or are you going to smarten up?
A couple of threads ago I wrote a comment about having gotten a phone call out of the blue from an old best buddy from my youth. Here is a link if you’d like to refresh your memory.
https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/brace-for-impact/#comment-608118
I ended that comment by saying I was searching for Dick’s sister Leslie because Dick was obviously suffering from dementia and was living alone in Wildwood Crest, NJ. Well, I did track Leslie down. She even praised me for my detective work. She has been living in Ottawa Canada with her husband for more than half her life. She’s 78 yo.
She confirmed that I was right about Dick being demented but, not to fear, she is on top of the situation and essentially controls his life from that great separating distance. She’s in contact with him every day. She arranged for “Meals on Wheels” to deliver food to him every day. Arrangements for various and sundry issues have been made with Dick’s neighbors. His car was sold so he would not venture out and kill himself or someone else. He’s been vaccinated although when I asked him about it he didn’t know Covid from third base.
I learned many things about Dick that I never knew. For one, his wife died 15 years ago of breast cancer. More interesting, though, was that Dick had graduated near the bottom of our 1958 H.S. class. I always knew he got lousy grades on his report cards which I thought was strange because he struck me as smarter than average. She said the family thought maybe he had a “learning disability” like ADD. As H.S. graduation approached his parents wondered what would become of him, what path in life, what job. They suggested he go in the Navy and that’s what he did.
He served a two year stint based out of Norfolk, VA. while I was attending St. Joe’s College in Philly. I got a B.S. in Accounting, class of 1962. Unbeknownst to me, a few years after his Navy stint, Dick applied for admission to St Joe’s and somehow got accepted. He got a B.S. in Accounting, just like me. He then proceeded to get a Masters in Economics at Drexel Univ. He worked as an accountant for some company in Philly and had a side gig as an Accounting/
Economics instructor at a Community College for many years.
Now, here we are all these years later, Dick is 81 yo and has lost many, if not all, of his marbles.
That was a heartwarming story, Q.
TY
well now the Untied States have the perfect cover to get rid of biden and install the real pick for president.
suddenly there is great criticism by lefties around the world of one of their own? LOL
obviously fake coordinated effort
State Dept. is now undermining Joe Joe, and they are speaking through their mouthpiece in the McMedia (CNN). He is out soon.
President Nancy Pelosi.
The POTUS with the mostest.
Yeesh!
OG,
If Pelosi is anointed, it would be a clear sign that there is no god….
Or that “he” is actually a demonic bitch. Wonder if she’d bring “she who should have won” on board as well just to drive the point home completely?
Yes Disaffected, that’s the drum I’m banging: the Hildebeast will be your (ok, “our”) next (and last) president. This is the only way that rough beast can be installed in the Captain’s seat of the USS Babylon.
Hopefully, if I say it often enough, it won’t happen. Remember the Great New Madrid Quake of 12/21/2012? No? You’re welcome.
Amen.
Jo Jo Magoo is not equipped to handle a critical MSM, or hard questions. He will become “old man yelling at cloud”.
“ He is out soon”
If I recall, your most recent other prediction was that Trump would be re-instated…or is that still on the cards for some time this month? Or next month, perhaps? When will Biden be ousted? Come on, be precise, like last time.
Let me get this straight…Trump starts the US exit from Afghanistan and gets none of the credit. Biden finishes what Trump started and gets all of the blame. FINALLY, the can isn’t being kicked down the road indefinitely. Both these men deserve credit for getting the US out of this hellhole so we can self-destruct on our own. Thank you, guys.
Meanwhile, breaking news on social media is that Chinese-made thermostats flipped the election results. You read it here first on CFN.
The criticism is not leaving Afghanistan, IMHO. It’s doing it so unbelievably sloppily and putting thousands of Americans working there/stuck there in peril, and having had no plan to extricate them.
There really is the simplest answer to everything happening both here and abroad. We’re broke.
Bankrupt.
Morally, spiritually and fiscally bankrupt.
Broke? The Senate just passed a $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill, and a further $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill is on deck.
Trillions of Covid19 money is still being printed in a last-ditch attempt to pull off the Great Reset. Millions to all higher learning institutions, businesses and hospitals. To keep the ruse going.
Yoho: I thought you would have believed that as well. But your insistence of fundamentals is evidently no such Fundamentalism. Interesting. Impressive. Perhaps I should have known better since you never really objected to my universalism. In my own defense, you present in a unique way, and use high IQ differently than any I’ve ever encountered.
I guess now is as Good a time as any to disclose:
O.G. is short for “One God.”
I Believe in 1 God that will judge the living & the dead Justly. Perfectly. Each soul understood and evaluated on a Pass/Fail basis. Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Atheist and all others.
Most will, of course, Fail while those of us trying at least have a shot at attaining a Passing grade.
What’s “Hawkins” stand for?
I started using O.G. Hawkins as my pen-name when I wrote poetry for my uncle’s gf’s artsy WordPress blog circa 2012.
O.G. was/is for my Belief in 1 God for all of humanity.
Hawkins had a few things:
1) Ronnie Hawkins – Southern gentleman who went north and became a Canadian music legend. His band, The Hawks, were recruited by Bob Dylan at a Yonge & Dundas bar. They are Better known as The Band.
2) I envision a hawk swooping down and meting Justice like the animation in Pink Floyd The Wall motion picture. Jesus Christ of Nazareth left a slaughtered lamb but will return like a Wrathful lion.
3) I had delusions that people would read and appreciate my poetry in 2012. As an author, I liked the similarity of O.G. Hawkins to the brilliant O. Henry.
Why not post one of your works here, Duane?
No need to hold up our middle fingers (but we don’t have to cut them off), our index fingers held up offends the Enemy more than the middle could ever hope to do.
OG…you are a true nutcase, but your posts are fun to read.
Thanks, Tom.
I do have fun spewing The Truth.
Hangover. Nausea. All of us who have lived have regrets. A bad taste in our mouth. Shouldn’t have cheated on her. Shouldn’t have shot that cat. Shouldn’t have lied, stolen, left our shit for others to clean up. Shouldn’t have started the car after a bottle. Shouldn’t have lost my temper. “Non, rien de rien, Non, je ne regrette rien, Ni le bien qu’on m’a fait, Ni le mal; tout ça m’est bien égal”. La Piaf was full of it when she sang that, because to be alive is to have regrets. We deal with them as we can, while we can, before we’re dead. We save cats now, not shoot them. Not because heaven or hell, because of karma. Or are those different words to say the same thing?
Societies, likewise, get hangovers. Ours, America, the Western World, is about to drown in its acid reflux. Vomit is rationalized, as we hum “I don’t regret anything” past the graveyard, yet our collective unconscious regrets a lot. The piles of radioactive waste. The generations of styrofoam and single use plastics choking the world. The toxic particles in ourselves and in every newborn baby. The cows for the burgers penned up, drowining in their own shit, eating transgenic corn, then eating other dead cows, so we can eat them. What a deal! A dollar a burger! Chicken nuggets, suffering animals, beaks amputated, pumped full of anabolics and chemicals to be ready to market faster. “Don’t waste time!”. Mystery meats. The cowardice of not having raised hell every time we were conned and taken for idiots, the fake elections, the propaganda, the assassinations, the lies, Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Kennedy, Assange, Salvador Allende, Mossadegh, our dirty wars, the obscene profits, the orange groves replaced by strip malls, the disappearance of the book and emergence of the 20 second attention span, the divorce epidemic, the abuse epidemic, the addictions, TV as our closest friend, make a buck, send the jobs to China, get an underclass here so we don’t have to pay our fellow citizens a living wage, I want my cheap tomatoes via illegal labor and chemical inputs, NAFTA, MIC, surveillance, Covid, psy-ops… of course we have a lot to regret! We went along and didn’t raise anything but token hell, took to the streets knowing it would accomplish nothing except bragging rights over Chardonnay with our “enlightened” friends, a “save the whales” sticker on the SUV, “Free Tibet” as we choked on Chinese xmas decorations, don’t ask don’t tell, see no evil hear no evil speak no evil as long as it’s others that were getting the edge of the axe, the “racists”, the “deplorables”, not us, the good people, the managerial class, we’ll do anything to get junior to Harvard, pay $50k a year private school so she learns to make all the right noises about systemic racism and global warming and Teslas and diversity while still feeding at the trough like everybody to the point of sickness. Existential sickness. The will to die. That’s us, now.
There’s hope for the individual who feels overwhelmed by past sins, there’s redemption. You can change before it’s too late. You can let go of hate, greed and hubris and learn humility and service, poverty and truth, seek redemption. Every spiritual school teaches to seek redemption. Empires don’t deserve redemption because they can’t admit they did anything wrong. They have no regrets, like Piaf. Babylon sinks and is reborn and sinks again, with nary a regret. That’s the eternal cycle, and the Earth is more degraded and stripped each time, raped in search of profit. We are not at the final cycle, but we’re getting there. Like a groggy boxer, she’ll soon be unable to rise again before the count of 10 – every empire for millenia has been sucking Her dry, we did Her, now the Chinks are getting ready to have Her at their mercy for a few decades, their slave, but she’s almost all spent, she can’t feed us anymore. There’s no redemption for us, and Pax Americana is a closing chapter, the richest empire in history is starting to fade away under a barrage of blows. Afghanistan is only the latest, but there’s many more to come. Hubris calls Nemesis, and Nemesis is now overdue. Our best hope is this Leviathan split up into smaller, poorer republics where a version of individual freedom can still exist. Crossed fingers here.
Excellent essay, Rulo. Incredibly well said. I agree with everything you’ve put forth here.
Mary, I think it’s a good idea for you to set up an alternative space for dissent if this blog goes down, just like OG – I don’t have a lot of faith it will go unnoticed and uncensored, but there’s a chance it may. Communications will be the the toughest challenge going ahead, I think. Thank you for your contributions to this forum, and stay strong.
Thanks, Rulo. I will work on it. It actually shouldn’t take me that long.
Name/URL ideas?
You’ve killed cats – my sacred animal. You will not be forgiven.
Quite an essay, Rulo. Thank you. Well said.
Thanks for the mention. As stated, I am domiciled outside USA which may matter as we flailing grasp for the final remnants of Free Speech.
All CFNers: Please bookmark & jot this down:
https://truvinyl.tv
If they shut Mr K’s CFN down, I will strive to launch a Comments section accessible from there.
OG, I did make a note of it and appreciate it. We hope Mr K’s garden of ideas will be left alone, but dissent and free speech are under attack, so it’s good to think ahead of the day we come here and are met with a blank screen.
Mary, something simple maybe? The best way would probably be to present it as a forum for discussing rock albums, in OG’s case, or gardening ideas in yours. I suppose the point is to avoid anything overly political in the page’s description, so search engines have a harder time pinpointing it.
It would be a “by invitation only” kind of thing. Those of us who knew you from here would know where to go, but google wouldn’t pick it up if you searched it. Well, it would pick up certain words from the comments, and I’m not very optimistic that it would pass unnoticed, but it’s better than nothing. I joked a while back that we’d have to get good at code, never call the things we want to talk about by their real names, so covid would be rhubarb and so on.
Phew! That was powerful, pretty much covers it all.
Except … 2056 nuclear detonations since 1945, making every human being since then a little radioactive.
Brh
Add to that, microwave ovens, TSA xray booths, xrays in general, mammograms… etc
Monsanto, Round Up, enriched uranium, transgender propaganda… Nature under attack.
Yes. But in the blink of an eye, once humans are gone, she will right herself.
Glyphosate, atrazine, enriched uranium, plastics – some things are going to take awhile to work their way through the system. Once we leave, the Earth will continue to react to our impacts for some time. Eventually it will reach a new equilibrium, one it that it would not have achieved without us. We may have left marks that will outlive life.
Atheists trying to do metaphysics with physics, failing miserably.
Heckler… and how many tons of Fukushima radioactive waste dumped into the Pacific so far? It’s a dear price we pay for our comforts and our sushi, it really is.
Yet another reason I ditched CA.
With ten times that amount of waste just sitting by the pacific shoreline in San Onofre!
and yet, even on a blog like this, the nuclear cheerleaders are ever-present…
Watch Repo Man. Radiation is evolution.
Well written and apparently straight from the heart! What better compliment can anyone possibly give than that?
For what it’s worth, I can’t find a single thing to disagree with here either.
Well done!
Nice sermon Rules. Acid reflux – man, you’re singing my song. I have to admit that as much as I regret all of the (ok, most of the) stupid things I’ve said and done, what I really regret is those things I didn’t say or do. I used to think time was on my side and that haste would only curdle the Hollandaise. I have come to realize that there is no tomorrow – never was – and those things that might be in reach – better grab ‘em now.
When we look back at the trail of destruction we have wrought, how can those of us with a conscience live with ourselves? Gotta shed that skin. Of course if you’re still the same person inside, there will be another molting due before too long – and another…
“Let go of hate” – very funny. Never forget and never forgive. That is the Way. As you well know…..
Blackbird said, “Of course if you’re still the same person inside, there will be another molting due before too long – and another…”
“Our viewpoints are part of that which we shape and build. Viewpoints are forms and structures that change as we mature in our understanding of reality. As such, viewpoints are good. But when we confuse viewpoints with the reality itself, it shows a hardening of the viewpoint, a worship of structure. It becomes an illusion that is a “tradition of men” that makes void the word of God itself.”
http://messianicdruid.blogspot.com/2006/10/getting-real.html?m=1
“…they denied anyone their inalienable right of men to change their viewpoints.” – Life itself corrects our viewpoints. Established hierarchies (religious, political, scientific) want us as dependent followers, never questioning, never evolving.
One is not the same over the decades. Some beliefs and attitudes remain the same, and that’s good. Others change, and that’s good too. Experience and thought, along with spirituality, dictate or suggest to us what to keep (love of mother, say) and what to discard (love of money)
There’s a voice within, a moral compass that shows the way. Some can hear it from early on. Others, like me, need much time and experience to heed it.
Yoho, there’s a difference between hating a toxic ideology, and hating people who believe in it. You call me your enemy, but that’s not true. I’m the enemy of your nazi beliefs, not of you. You post good insights sometimes, but your militant advocacy of mass murder prevents me from being your friend. And prevents others to take what you have to say seriously.
It is my hope that one day you’ll realize the ghastly visions of ethnic cleansing you dwell in are preventing you to be the best version of yourself.
I’m not holier than thou and cannot tell you what to believe, but I suspect you know that “if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” Opening dark gates that should be left closed is not without cost. The human sacrifice of the untermenschen that you celebrate may well claim your mind, your life, or both if you don’t step back. Does that sound like an enemy talking to you? I don’t think so. More like a concerned passerby warning a fellow traveler he’s about to sink into quicksand if he doesn’t change course. Heed the advice, or don’t.
Tens of millions of Germans were slaughtered after the outbreak of your “Peace”.
I admit that this time you folks are going down too – same ship named the Titanic.
“Shouldn’t have shot that cat.”
Regrets….
Never cheated on the wife.
I don’t want to talk about shooting cats….
Another Proud Mom with a son whose heart will never be the same.

The good Kennedy, perhaps the best. JFK was all over the place, a nationalist and a globalist by turns. He wasn’t philosophically mature, but Globalist was just rising up, so perhaps he can’t be blamed.
Some say he died because he planned to take on the Federal Reserve.
Down thread someone showed the crowd breaking thru in Australia. Symbols are important – and that’s a most potent one. The world is run by symbols.
JFK did sign an Executive Order (back when they were still somewhat rare) that would’ve clipped the US Fed’s wings a month or 2 before they blew his head off.
LBJ, Castro, The Mob, CIA, Hoover, US Fed. JFK had many enemies who wanted him dead.
You might survive as POTUS messing with some on that list but the US Fed was untouchable and would not be stopped.
Yes, that’s what I was referring to. Earlier, he had signed some nonsense about America disarming in favor of the United Nations. Green. All over the place, But his heart was ultimately in the right place it seems, even though his senses were completely out of control. He got a bad headache if he didn’t have sex with a new woman every few days.
Bobby might have signed his death warrant when he vowed to go after the mob. Their Dad, Joe, had made his money with them. That was very personal.
Is it far fetched to imagine that there is a video that all elected presidents are shown the day before they are sworn into office? Sort of a cautionary story, “you may think that now you can do as you please or as you promised, but watch this, sonny, before you get any ideas”.
Jack Kennedy’s true story of his demise would be there. Along with many other things.
Stirling has a novel where they are shown the incredible powers of illusion that vampires have – and that their Hierarchy rules the world.
Yoho, that always struck me as the epitome of hubris, imagining that after the Mafia gets you elected (West Virginia vote as I recall, in a narrow race) you turn on them.
The Irish are known for their chutzpah but you would have thought that someone – most likely Pa Joe – would have taken them aside and said “Listen – you’re in very dangerous waters with this move. Find a way to make it look good but back off.”
Not to mention (as has been mentioned) the CIA, Landslide Lyndon, the Texas oil folk, the Dulles gang …

How to defeat vaxx passports without leaving home.
How Russian Citizens
Crushed Moscow’s Dumb Vaccine Passports in Just 3 Weeks
Excerpt:
Here’s how they crushed Mayor Sobyanin’s vaccine passport – and it was pretty simple. Moscow residents simply stopped frequenting any business that required a vaccine passport.
The really beautiful thing about this was that the vaccinated people stood in solidarity with the unvaccinated. Business trickled to near zero at all establishments where the vaccine passport was required.
Moscow residents let their hair grow out, skipped going to bars and restaurants, didn’t go to the movies, didn’t stay in hotels or do anything else that required a vaccine passport.
Business owners from all over the city were suddenly calling Mayor Sobyanin’s office to chew his ear off about the vaccine passports. They were going broke, and they were mad as hell about it.
Marina Zemskova, the head of a regional hotel and restaurant association in Russia, said the vaccine passport turned out to be worse for business than a full lockdown. At least if there was another lockdown, she notes, businesses “could count on some kind of government support measures.”
There’s no government support coming under a vaccine passport system. What the not-very-elite elites failed to anticipate about Moscow residents was they would simply not participate in the scam at all.
The business owners were so infuriated with the mayor that Sobyanin made a sudden, surprise announcement on July 19th that nobody needs to use a vaccine passport anymore. He made up a hilarious excuse, claiming that COVID case rates were all better suddenly, as the reason for lifting the QR code passports.
But everyone knew the truth. Moscow residents decided that their medical privacy and their right to travel is more important than whatever the people in charge were telling them.
It was a massive case of civil disobedience – and they didn’t even have to go outside and set things on fire in a big protest. All they did was say, “Any business that wants to see a vaccine passport from me is not getting any of my money.”
That’s how you do it.
Imagine if Sobyanin had told the truth and admitted that the people were right. He seems not to realize that he is already parked at the end of his road. It don’t get better from here Sob.
I remember the first time I told the truth when a lie would have worked better. Damn that felt good. Suddenly I was taller, smarter, and better-looking. I don’t do it too often though, wouldn’t wanna get hooked or anything…
BB, taller, smarter… or stinkier. In certain circles, uttering a truth is akin to letting out a fart. You won’t be invited again. A joke is the only way to slip some truth into the conversation. But I’m not very good at jokes, so I’ve been exiled from quite a few circles lately.
I know what you mean.
A little bit of me dies every time I squander a chance to speak truth.
Wont work here (Malaysia).
Government decides which services needs to scan for double-vaxx status.
Any infraction and the shop owners are in deep trouble.
Still, there are 4 states (out of 14) where only 25% are double-vaxxed. These states don’t have much internal migrations and thus still have a bit of solidarity among the people.
So, i guess those regions which are clannish might resist better.
The more sophisticated (supposedly!), the more stupid. They’re trying to look sophisticated and keep their jobs even as they’re being sold down the river.
In England some years ago, two heroic pigs broke out of the truck carrying them to the slaughter house. They ran into a large and tremendous thicket and could not be gotten out. Did they know to break out when they were near that?
England relented and let these two live. The rest were put to death and eaten.
The rest were put to death and eaten.

chola, I’ve been following your tribulations here. How did you end up there? I assume you’re an expat. Do you speak the language? Can you pass for native? I ask you because of your comment about the regions that might resist better.
If you’ve been there long enough you probably have friends, contacts?
You mentioned earlier about growing a big garden to be more self sufficient in the face of restrictions to commerce imposed on the non compliant. How’s that going? You should focus on crops that do well in that climate. Look at other gardens in the area to pick ideas. I’d guess things like cassava, plantains, yams, okra are a must. Focus on nutrition dense crops, forget the lettuce. Too hot for it anyway, probably. Eggplants are a good hot weather crop, and very filling. Also, get some chickens pronto if the situation is as dire as you describe. You don’t need a rooster for egg production, but you want a rooster to make more chickens if you need to.
Best of luck to you.
The difference is the Russians don’t have a ‘mandate’ for demand destruction. That’s the leverage the customers have.
Here, they expect the small biz to die.
Looks like they did, until they didn’t. 😉
It all comes down to social capital. Which we no longer have. But this is the answer, or a big part of it.

“He made up a hilarious excuse” as noted elsewhere, why not just say it was a mistake? Politicians, with rare exceptions, can’t admit a mistake. Flaw.
Luxury beliefs are being discussed again and not a minute too soon. Luxury beliefs, meaning fashionable ideas espoused by the wealthy as an indicator of social class, are no longer affordable. They never have been.
Such notions as open borders and free sex have been a disaster for those lower down on the income scale. If you live in a gated compound and can afford private security then maybe you can temporarily deflect the consequences of defunded police or no controls on immigration.
Has widespread single motherhood been something other than a societal calamity? If a single woman is a high income earner then maybe she can afford to get knocked up, but never mind this “heroic” single mother crap, other than alcoholism or drug addiction, it’s hard to come up with anything as self destructive as out of wedlock birth.
In my experience, somebody mouthing the term “multiculturalism” in a positive way was someone with a lot of money, living in an expensive and white and mono-culturally liberal and high income neighborhood. As such the person had no idea what they were talking about, had next to know knowledge of foreign cultures or the long list of blood-soaked countries trying to accommodate more than one linguistic or ethnic group.
The point is there’s a dire need to come back to reality. The idea of “globalism”, or a global liberal world order, is one more luxury belief and a fool’s errand with this Afghanistan debacle as the latest evidence. An even more important example is China, a huge country that no matter the increase in its GDP or widening prosperity, is not liberalizing.

Suck it up, Jo Jo Magoo!
LMAO!
Romania says “fuck you” to the vaxx. Gov’t closing all vaxx centres. 70% of pop refuses to get jabbed, and all coercive measures have failed.
You learn a lot about despotism when you’re from the land of Ceausescu. A lot of those people are still alive, and got to hear the final gun volleys ringing, Ceausescu and his wife, hands tied behind their backs, breaths stilled forever.
Case study proving that they were nothing without paid-off backing, just a couple of puny humans that managed to gather enough armor to ride their power until cosmic justice prevailed.
It’s a little more nuanced than ‘Romania says “fuck you” to the Vax.’
And is it REALLY closing ALL vaccination centres?
https://www.politico.eu/article/romania-coronavirus-vaccines-fourth-wave-orthodox-church/
Looks like Romania is doing what the local health department did in early July; appeal to the local faith community. The locally based international headquarters of the Assembly of God church stepped up, and sponsored vaccine clinics at several of their large churches. It has helped, as the county is now at 45.44% fully vaxxed 51.84% partial.
Hospitalizations locally are still running at 97% non vaxxed. Counties around us that are served by the local hospitals have lower vax rates. Out of 122 deaths since May 1, 7 have been vaccinated people with comorbidities. Hospitalizations have dropped some; hoping this wave is going into decline.
Last week, self proclaimed vaccine police Christopher Key came to town, and took his dog and pony show to Walmart, CVS, and Walgreen locations to tell pharmacists they were going to hang; ran his mouth at the local school board meeting; and attempted to serve papers for crimes against humanity to the CEO of Cox health in the hospital’s parking garage. Not sure why, it is the Mercy system mandating employee vaxxes; would have made more sense to pester their CEO.
Key is a convicted supplement scam arrest and a fuckwit to boot. Even people who don’t want the vax and oppose mandates wish the man had not shown up. His sort of antics undermine their efforts to have legitimate concerns addressed, he not only was no help, but detrimental to their efforts. Local anti vax folks seem to be dividing in two camps: rationals with legitimate questions and rabbit holers who still think the shots implant Gates chips.
Meanwhile, a student in the MSU School of Nursing has talked about her experiences in covid ICU with a school’s blog writer. It is the first detailed description of the progression of the disease in those who get sick enough to require hospitalization I have read. What she describes is not like any sort of pneumonia or respiratory illness I know about:
https://blogs.missouristate.edu/nursing/2021/08/09/christina-shares-her-experience-in-medical-icu/
I realize I am probably pissing in the wind asking folks to give it a read, 😉 but I am hoping a few will do so.
Key is a scam artist. Need more coffee.
“Hospitalizations locally are still running at 97% non vaxxed. ”
That would make you an anomaly. Everywhere else it’s reported that the majority are vaxxed.
You are probably pissing into the wind. Once you understand that scam, reading mainstream lies is kinda a waste of time.
“it” not “you”
Well, at one point I believed like many here and yourself that covid was a scam of epic proportions foisted upon us by the government and the for profit healthcare racket. Read Michael Yeadon, listened to Robert Malone on the Darkhorse podcast, checked Off-guardian every day, etc. Had been at it since March of 2020.
Then Delta showed up where I live, and I had to take a hard look at what I thought I knew. Guess I got white pilled.
Now are vaccinated people still getting covid here? Yes, and they sniffle and sneeze at home for a few days. They do not land in the hospital. Maybe elsewhere they do; here it has been a small group with comorbidities.
Most of the non vaxxed are the same, although more progress from cold to a bad flu type illness. But if they are in the group that get sicker than that, they get really sick. Everyone who is hospitalized and released goes home on oxygen. A 30 year old warehouse guy where I work has been at home on oxygen for two months now. Only health issue he was 20 lbs overweight when he got sick.
This morning, got an email with links to articles from Medium. One was from a guy I had never heard of, Matthew Remski about “what Conspiritualists and Anti Vaxxers get right.”While I have read his article, I’ve not made it through all the links it contains; will take a couple hours later to do that. A lot of info I want to follow up on.
https://matthewremski.medium.com/what-conspiritualists-and-anti-vaxxers-get-right-3d11551982b7
No you got blue-pilled.
You’re going in reverse.
The ‘delta variant’ are vaccine injuries.
You’re the only person I know who has actually come out of the brainwashing only to go back in.
“You’re the only person I know who has actually come out of the brainwashing only to go back in.”
That says more about the people you associate with than about tully.
MaryQuaint – you clearly haven’t bothered to read that posted link. Get a grip, woman. Read it and THEN respond.
tully, thanks for that. It is a very clear and succinct examination of how the Tinfoil Network operates. MaryQ (et al) tells me I’m living in a Truman Show. The lack of self-awareness is mind-boggling because she (et al) is unaware of her own brainwashing, which is very slick and demonstrably highly effective. It’s also as infectious as the Delta variant.
“Everywhere else it’s reported that the majority are vaxxed.
”
Where is ‘everywhere else’ Mary Qanon? The Daily Stormer?
97% hospitalized locally are not vaccinated. The low vax rate in SW MO was what allowed the hot spot to develop here. It was July before vaccinated started testing positive locally; the bug had to achieve significant spread before some vaxxed caught it, and developed mild cases for the majority.
The Delta variant locally is not a result of “vaccine injuries.” How could it be, when the sickest people are unvaxxed, and the bug first appeared in non-vaccinated living among a population with a vax rate of 27% at the time it appeared?
Blue pilled? No, I was born blue to working class Democrats. Got red pilled, and faced the hard truth the Dems sold out the working class once and for all during the 1990s. Now we have the GOP and Repub Lite. I giggle every time someone says the Dems are commies. They are neoliberal capitalists just like their counterparts across the aisle.
As for covid, I continue to read info from both for and against the vaccine viewpoints. Info on both sides has changed and evolved, and I want to know the latest from both. I need info from both sides, and what is happening locally, to make decent decisions.
“Come out of the brain washing and gone back in?” No. I realized I had lapsed into only paying attention to the anti vax viewpoint, and returned to paying attention to both sides.
I fell down a one viewpoint only allowed rabbit hole and backed my ass out.
rationals with legitimate questions and rabbit holers who still think the shots implant Gates chips.
Do the rationals offer any explanation as to why Bill Gates is trying to jab as many billions of Earthlings as possible and ASAP, tully?
———
Many peole look at the conclusion, call it “crazy’, dismiss mountains of Real evidence because the conclusion would be “crazy,” and then call themselves “rational.”
TruStory
Hmmm, here locally it’s the health department and hospitals encouraging the vax. Not heard much out of Gates since he and the missus filed for divorce. Nonetheless, Gates has been a vaccine pusher for years, long before covid showed up. I ignore him, along with Fauci the lawn gnome and the overwrought Walensky at the CDC.
Looking at the real evidence locally, I would say a rational response would be to decide whether or not to get the jabs based on presence of covid and rate of spread in one’s community; age, overall health and weight. Fat, unvaccinated people seem to be taking the brunt of this sucker.
Duane, you really should read the post from tully above, by Matthew Remski. You fit the “Conspiritualist” description perfectly.
Here’s a piece of it for you:
““Throughout the nineteenth century,” writes Eula Biss in her extraordinary book On Immunity “an Innoculation, vaccination left a wound that would scar. “The mark of the beast,” some feared.
In an Anglican archbishop’s 1882 sermon, vaccination was akin to an injection of sin, an “abominable mixture of corruption, the lees of human vice, and dregs of venial appetites, that in after life may foam upon the spirit, and develop hell within, and overwhelm the soul.”
The modern version is just as religious, but also drips with sci-fi tension. What will win out in the end— real or processed food? Fresh herbs or synthetic compounds? Men and women who know they are men and women, or social justice wokesters who have lost the will to reproduce?
Will Bill Gates depopulate the world? Will our children become mindless, genderless drones in the transhuman hospital-state? Or will freedom reign in Austin, mask-free, with endless supplies of fresh greens, all bankrolled by Joe Rogan?
Her statement about taking 7 to 10 days before reaching the point of being seriously unable to breath tells the tale. All the sources that I am aware of and have respect for their take on things say the best course of action is immediately upon first sign of symptoms is to start a regimen of Ivermectin, zinc, and Doxycycline or another drug similar to Doxy. This has yielded impressive results everywhere it has been used. Why the hell would they wait 7 to 10 days to begin treating someone.
How do you build a base of fear if you remove the threat?
Again, no data! Do these drugs really do anything to cure Covid? We do not know. Are there other drugs that could work? We do not know. How about known antivirals like acyclovir? We do not know.
“This has yielded impressive results everywhere it has been used.”
Where’s the information on which you base this claim to be found, cbeard?
97%/3%! Wow it is great how well the vaccine is working in the US. The US should probably share some of the quality shit with Israel and the UK whose vaccines are not performing nearly as well. Unfortunately, it is probably too late to vax up now for Delta with 3-4 weeks between shots and 2 additional weeks before the protection kicks in. Oh well, maybe the next variant.
I read Christina’s story.
I believe it and believe that she is sincere.
However, I couldn’t make head nor tails of most of her story, especially the first part. Way too technical and did not enlighten me at all about hospital treatment for covid-19.
Except this message comes through loud and clear:
: For God’s sake, STAY OUT OF THE HOSPITAL. What a nightmare scenario, none of it comprehensible. stay away from intubation! Do everything you can to defend yourself proactively against infection.Take your supplements. Eat healthy food.
Seek outpatient treatment as soon as you suspect you have covid-19. Have some ivermectin on hand.
Good advice, covid or not.
And the most recent accounting I’ve heard of this is that the extremely narrow range of treatment options dictated to the corporate hospital system by the NIH/CDC/HHS/pharma cartel all but ensures a negative outcome, i.e., death when an incoming “case” is labeled as covid.
They are required to ignore all data and treatment options other than those allowed. Somewhere prior to intubation they administer another failed, experimental, unapproved, Fauci-recommended drug that apparently causes the lungs to fill with water, thereby drowning the patient in their own fluids. Then the corporate hospital chain collects their $37,000 “covid bonus”, plus their usual billings, and the bed is made ready for the next victim.
Apparently, many of the hospital staff are aware of this malfeasance and malpractice but are powerless to shut down the machinery, thus their pleading to maintain one’s own immunity in order to avoid hospitalization altogether, as this is all they can do.
The truly great mystery is why did the US abandon the easily defensible Bagram airbase on July 6th?
Apart from being north of Kabul – rather than almost in suburbs like the commercial Haid Karzai airport – and thus the routes to it not easily choked nor the runways within range of mortars to easily disable, it was also the nerve centre of military communications & strategic command.
But they just left it.
Nobody could be so stupid so it must have been a conscious, deliberate decision – I wonder why no hot shot reporter has asked that simple question?
Exactly. That would reveal much.
Actually, Pepe Escobar, the best of the breed, has discussed this:
http://thesaker.is/inside-us-afghanistan-pullout-the-grayzone-interviews-pepe-escobar/
The whole 2-hour interview is highly recommended.
There are no boring spots. It’s all fascinating. Escobar has been reporting on Afg and the whole “East” for over 20 years. He is funny and his knowledge is encyclopedic.
He also has a column at Asia Times.
Thanks for posting.
Yes, on an easily defended plain, not surrounded by 4.5 million people (Kabul is much bigger than I thought). They didn’t even tell the Afghan government. They just turned off the power and left.
I wonder when, not if, the Taliban will begin the exhumation of the interestingly large mass grave area beyond the eastern runway?
Again it defied stupidity to bury the non co-operative detainees when their remains could be packed into a departing plane and dropped at sea, as was allegedly done with bin Liner + full ritual rites.
OG said, “Our little people brains cannot reconcile that 7.6 billion people have Free Will yet God has also written exactly what will transpire.”
Our God moves freely through time. He can spend an eternity in the present nano second. This is omniscience.
Did you ever notice how Jesus talked in the past tense?
“He calls things that are not as though they were.”
This is an excellent summary of the recent history and current situation in Afghanistan:

Happy Hurricane Henri!
“Because this is a military defeat for American power, calls for Biden to do this or that are simply silly. If American troops had remained in Afghanistan, they would have had to surrender or die. This would be a even worse humiliation for American power than the current debacle. Biden, like Trump before him, was out of options.”
The Taliban beat the US.
The number one lesson from Viet Nam was to not get involved in a civil war. Here we go again. Of course the Afghan”army” threw in with the Taliban. The disgusting part is our joint chief of staff saying that there was no way that we thought that Afghanistan would collapse in 11 days. That is a lie!!
The President saying that all the world is happy with us for getting out of Afghanistan. A total lie, we have been condemned by the EU, UK and yes even Russia who now has a loose cannon on its southern border.
I cannot believe the BS I am hearing from the administration. Bald faced lying!! Was this group of people capable of the deception that was the election of 2020., you bet. I am ashamed of a country that could elect this group of mobsters into the presidency.
Anglin
Has Donald Trump made some kind of deal where he shills the vaxx in order to not be thrown in prison?
Or did he really take the vaxx himself and fry his brain?
The twice-elected president shilled the vaxx at a rally in Cullman, Alabama on Saturday, and was booed by the crowd.
“I believe totally in your freedoms, I do, you gotta do what you gotta do, but I recommend take the vaccines. I did it. It’s good,” the orange individual said, and the crowd started booing.
“That’s okay, that’s alright,” Trump continued, nonplussed. “But I happen to take the vaccine. If it doesn’t work, you’ll be the first to know. But it is working. You do have your freedoms, you have to maintain that.”
If we have to maintain our freedoms, then what is the point of Donald Trump pressing this vaxx on people? Everyone on the planet earth knows that they are supposed to take the vaccine, by mandate of the global government. Not one person at the Trump rally needed Donald Trump to tell them to take it.
He has to know that people do not like this. I’m not aware of any other time of him getting booed by his own supporters. And yet he is out there shilling it nonstop. I just simply do not understand it.
I guess there was maybe some explanation that he’s a businessman and the vaxx is the business solution to the pandemic. But that argument stopped making sense when he lost the election and the virus hoax didn’t end. They are literally now saying that the vaxx doesn’t even do anything. According to the vaxxers themselves, you can still get the alleged virus, you can still transmit the alleged virus, and there are constant new variants that the vaxx doesn’t protect you from, so you are going to have to keep getting shots, and we’re going into a permanent new society of lockdowns and checkpoints.
That’s what the vaxxers themselves are saying. There isn’t a mystery here. This is exactly the kind of nonsense that Trump became so popular for dismantling.
Maybe he did really get the shot, and he is scared and so he wants others to join him? Or maybe it made him stupid?
I knew people who have taken the vaxx, and they became noticeably dumber. What the vaxx does is insert fake mRNA instructions to tell every cell in your body to produce a spike protein. The reason people get blood clots is that the blood vessels become blocked as they’re pumping out all of these spike proteins. It certainly makes sense to me that causing all of the cells in the brain to produce a spike protein would cause neural pathways to be botched.
There is also evidence that this process of forcing the cells to produce this spike protein permanently damages your blood vessels, which causes restricted blood flow for the rest of your life. Your brain needs blood, so if your body’s ability to pump blood is reduced, that is going to make you dumber. That’s one of the reason fat people are so stupid.
It’s like his son Don Jr. is writing his jokes for him based on his collection of 2016 memes.
Whatever.
I don’t care.
The level of betrayal here is simply incomprehensible. It was bad enough when he told everyone to march on the Capitol then threw Ashli Babbitt’s corpse under the bus. But this is so very much worse.
It is unforgivable, this vaxx shilling. There is no possible forgiveness. He has buried the knife in all of our backs.
There are two sides now only – vaxxers and anti-vaxxers.
Donald Trump is a vaxxer and he is therefore a plain enemy of the people.
I don’t know what else to say.
A vaxxer is a vaxxer is a vaxxer, and there is no room for vaxxers amongst Christians.
I didn’t watch the full rally, because at this point, the whole thing just depresses me.
If you want to watch it, here it is on BitChute. The rallies are completely banned from YouTube.
Yoho: For someone over 65, with respiratory problems? Maybe, but it’s debatable. Dr McCullough says he wouldn’t recommend it for anyone.
As Anglin say previously, Trump is destroying his legacy, and all the golden memories we had of him and the Victory. I’d guess yeah, he’s trying to stay out of jail.

Just a 5-word comment and one is wrong. Must have been in a great rush to submit.
Typo?
The friggin’ autocorrect?
Doesn’t matter, “they knew what I meant.”
“It’s not a freakin’ doctoral dissertation.”
Did I get the punctuation right!
“…a rally in Cullman, Alabama…”
DAFUQ?!?!?!?! Is he still trying to signal?
Trump, legacy? Those two words don’t belong together in the same thought. He was an alternative to the Queen Bitch, albeit a damn shitty one at that. Let’s not delude ourselves and imagine that he was ever anything more.
Shitty in comparison to what?
Jimmy Carter
Bill Clinton
George h W Bush
George W Bush
Barry Obama?
Joe Biden

Compared to that list of fools he was far superior.
I had to hold my nose as I typed that stinker list.
They say you get the “leaders” you deserve and as thought and typed that up I had to say we might actually be in hell already.
Speaking of Ashley Babbitt I met her brother fishing yesterday at Loveland reservoir seemed like a nice guy still broke up about his sister.

Anglin is right. The really smart and the somewhat dumb often come to the same conclusion about things like this. It’s the mid-wits who are the big problem. Desperately trying to feel smart, they are suckers for the convoluted arguments put out by the Mandarins working for the Elite. They want to feel like they’re connected to the Elite, so the Elite play them for suckers. Just like magicians play educated people in the same way. The hardest for magicians to fool? Children who have developed percepts (perceptual habits and concepts about them) yet. They just look.
The really smart can pick apart such arguments. The uneducated or even below average can simply see the physical reality and know that what is being pushed doesn’t accord with it. Does one really have to be a genius to know that pushing gay, female, and non-genderism in Afghanistan didn’t make any sense on any level, particularly the strategic? And logically, pushing women’s rights and the idea that women don’t exist at the same time?
Biden is like a sick old dog being put out on the expressway. His wife and his family allowed him to be used because of their lust for power, and now the Elite show their gratitude. They’re using his incompetence to cover some nefarious scheme of their own.

Hmmm, you’re giving me ideas.
Q why do you have two freaking main roads, The New Jersey Turnpike AND The Garden State Parkway? They both go the same way.
The BIL? 😉
To me, the pathetic attempt to make Afghanistan all about ‘helping the women’ is beyond embarrassing. The more they push it, the stupider they look.
Oh lol! The Taliban donned US uniforms and took an Iwo Jima picture of themselves putting up the white Taliban flag. A wicked sense of humor.
That’s what you get for leaving billions of dollars in equipment behind – after drone striking weddings for twenty years.
Hahahaha! Agree.
All the US military equipment now in possession of the Taliban was not just abandoned by the US. We gave all that stuff to the Afghani military. When the Afgans were being overrun/ bought off it should all have been destroyed. It doesn’t take much to burn and destroy billions of dollars worth of equipment. Diesel fuel and matchs are quick and easy. I would think a screwdriver and a match would pretty much take care of a Blackhawk, Humvee, or anything with a fuel tank. Buildings barracks whatever they burn quick. Ammo supplys? a great fireworks show. This equipment was left undestroyed for a reason. I’m not sure why but things don’t add up.
The thing is Stelmose what would a Taliban fighter do with a Blackhawk helicopter? An M4 carbine yes, that would be useful. Maybe they’ll be sold in the international underground black market. They ought to bring in some pretty good schwag. Chinese and Russian engineers would likely be interested in getting a look at them, so maybe those countries will buy them up. Another possibility is US trained Afghan pilots will fly these Black hawks for the Taliban, and presto! Taliban have their own airforce!
Brh
Hold a gun to the pilot’s kid’s head and I guess you could get him to do just about anything. I think a lot of the Afghani army were Taliban sympathizers anyway. All the equipment should have been destroyed before they turned tail and ran. No army leaves equipment behind for the enemy.
Was it left for the Afghan Army to use before they all ran away?
So the story goes, I believe.
Biden said a few weeks back that the Taliban (roughly 75,000 in number) would have no chance against the 300,000 well-equipped Afghan Army soldiers.
Floosh.
What a douchebag.
I suspect you should direct that criticism at the Pentagon Mandarins who advise the WH.
Those damn Blackhawks are $5.9 mil a piece and the military left behind 45 of them, like a child discards toys. $265,500,000 left sitting in Afghanistan in choppers alone. I’ve not tried to calculate total dollars on all the abandoned equipment.
The good news is those dollars grow increasingly worthless everyday the Fed stays in operation, so try not to sweat them too much. There now, isn’t that better?
“For less than one dollar you can put a smile on a young Afghani’s face.”
A new wrinkle, a first:
While Bo and I slept in late this Sunday morning Peter came down to the kitchen and barfed on the floor. I asked him if he had any idea what caused it. His response: “No, I’m not a doctor.”
A charming interlude, like Breakfast at Tiffanys.
LOL!
That was the name of Biden’s son.
I believe it was actually “Beau”.
Ugh. He couldn’t have had the deceny to at least make it to the sink?
*decency
(nothing like a typo in a Q thread. Sigh.)
At the end of the Viet Nam war, circa 1974-75, President Ford was trying to get funding from Congress to get the folks out of Nam, the Americans and the South Vietnamese who aided us during those ten years.
One Senator raised hell trying to stop the funding for removing the Vietnamese that had aided us. Guess who?
Your right, Biden as a young punk.
Did you hear Trump’s assessment last night?
He said that the proper order to leave any war zone was American and foreign citizens first, then grab the equipment and fly it out or destroy it, then get the military out last.
These idiots did just the reverse, they gave all the equipment including the big Air Force base to the Afghan joke of a military, then got our military out. Now there is almost no protection for the civilians trying to escape.
Could it be that this is all planned, that Biden’s mob wants the US to get a black eye for this debacle, has he done this on purpose to satisfy his global masters?
I hope 2022 gets us a GOP Congress to impeach Biden for incompetence and being a traitor, Kamala for indifference and incompetence. The Speaker will be GOP, so we could get a real government back before 2024.
I laugh at what they tried to impeach Trump for, both based on falsehoods. Now we have a mob running this country, bathed in graft, and against the nature of the US. Good job, America, but you get a second chance.
Consider. The GOP can’t help you John. They answer to the same master as the Democrats. After everything that has happened do you really think there will be “fair elections” in 2022 or 2024? Elections at all? Maybe, rather God and the prophets have spoken and America as you say it is doomed. And it doesn’t matter if you are hoping there is a second chance. Or whether or not you are terrified and shaking. Maybe I’m just reading too much into things. But I still can’t figure out how you think there will actually be fair elections. Or why the GOP is so different from the Dems.
LOL! John’s a career sycophant of the power elite. He favors the GOP because they reflect his disposition on social issues and he thinks they’ll protect his comfy retirement. He’s in love with half measures, as long as they favor his half, and he honest-to-god views himself with no irony whatsoever as a conservative “rebel.” No surprise then whatsoever that he actually advertises himself as a resident of AZ, where the sickly flock of his ilk congregate to die slowly in the heat. He’s akin to your demented grandfather who refuses to die and continues to spew inanities beyond their sell by date. At some point you’ve got pull the cord on such oldsters and chalk it up to one of the many downsides to modern technology: keeping old corpses alive long past the date that they’re actually sentient.
Do that, and you’ll wipe out the President, the Speaker of the House, and half the Senate.
Well, you expose yourself for the ass you are. You know nothing about me. You and you flailing generalities, you are not even worth the time to discuss issues. You know nothing about so many of the issues discussed in this blog.

That’s funny!
I hear you. I use the GOP because they are the last of the conservative cause in DC. Trump knew that the scene there was so swampy that he needed to disrupt their monopoly on power. A large group of the GOP stabbed him in the back.
I do not know what to call the Trumpers, the Deplorables. They are the only force left in the country that want America to remain the independent country it has been. Any suggestions?

Capybaras are AMAZING. They love everyone. At least the ones that are at the rescues/wildlife centers. They are like the animal form of Buddha.
Capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) maintain their spiritual purity, in part, through engaging in rather austere cleansing rituals. Like the dog in the Bible, they eat their own vomit. They also engage in autocoprophagy – no carbon footprint for these Gaia-loving vegans. (Some say that following a lifetime of this… behavior, just before it dies, a capybara poops out a Philosopher’s Stone – which is quickly gobbled up by a novice, continuing the circle of, well, whatever.) If only we would set aside our pride and follow the capybara down that narrow muddy trail, I have no doubt that it would lead us to the future we deserve.
Agreed.

There’s a town in central S Africa — Orania — 97% Afrikaner, orderly, relatively prosperous, quite the opposite of what the rest of SAfrica has become.

What does the Taliban flag say?
The Taliban standard is a white field with the Shahadah embossed on it in black script. The Shahadah is an Islamic oath and one of the Five Pillars of Islam. It is recited by muezzin as part of the Islamic call to prayer and in English reads: “I bear witness that none deserves worship except God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.”
According to Al Jazeera, the Taliban flag uses the shorter version of the Shahada, La ilah ila Allah, Mohammad rasoul Allah: “There is no god but God and Muhammad is God’s messenger.”
Yoho: Apparently the Black Isis Flag is similar. Some say that the Black flag of piracy copied the original black flag of Islam.
When you hold your right index finger up, you are affirming God is One.

“Still, Trump’s failure to go full-Hitler, or even half-Hitler, was somewhat awkward. I mean, you can’t whip millions of people into a four-year frenzy of fear and hatred of a clearly powerless ass-clown president, and portray him as a Russian Intelligence asset, and the Son of Hitler, and all the rest of it, and then just drop the act cold and laugh in their faces. That would leave them feeling like total morons who had just spent the last four years of their lives being lied to and emotionally manipulated, or like members of a cult, or something.”

“The sixty year Old scientific screwup that helped Covid kill”
There is something going on that is bigger than we suspect.
Note: only problem I had was the insistence as masks as a solution.
N95 masks fitted and sealed only, the rest are worthless.
This who professes what between the various agencies is almost a hundred years old.
A glimpse, coronavirus joins TB and measles as airborne virus diseases.
John?
We are being poisoned. In everyday life, all day, every day.
They use the sickness from our poisoning to create a fake pandemic.
If you don’t understand this – that’s your problem. I understand it.
Did you read the article? It might give you a little support for what you are saying. It is older than Covid.
No, you imagine it, with help of your Conspiritualist ‘guides’
You’re right about the widespread pollution but the rest of your statement is just the ho-hum, usual tinfoilery.
I still remember when John claimed normal masks offered decent protection against aerosolized pathogens.
You are nearly with us, John. Just a few more steps.
I was the first on this blog to conceptualize the aerosol carrying of the pathogen, about June of last year, at that point declaring masks ineffective against the aerosol transmission. I have always said that masks only help with droplets and that is a help. Going to a classroom or a sports arena with a cloth mask is a joke. Read the article above, this is a conspiracy.
BTW, IMHO, one of the factors the PTB are fighting is the aerosol concept. Why, because fixing it means billions for HVAC companies and billions for hospital systems to get serious about isolation and infection control. The main reason we hear about full ICUs and floors is because aerosol control is limited.
Just make the leap, John. Come to the light.
Well, according to the NYTs, in the northern provinces of Afghanistan, Mujahideen/Northern Alliance forces are battling Taliban fighters as we speak, just about where the situation stood in 1999.
Apparently, the past 20 years of NATO involvement in the country was just a distraction from the main internecine action that picked up as soon as we departed.
Brh

Afghanistan has taken them down.
Come on, China, it is your turn.

Rulo, your Aug 21 rant was one for the ages, up there with luminaries like Taibbi, Hedges and Greenwald.
We have a sneering elite looking down on us, utterly convinced of their own superiority and right to rule. And as sure as we sit here, they have lackeys watching this site and reporting back and commenting, posing as bona fide posters, you know, to get us deplorably inadequate folk back on the rails.
But just as surely, reality, whether it be that of biology or physics or that of human nature, will impose itself.
And what you’ve done in your second last sentence is to point out where this ultimate reality takes us, whether we go voluntarily or kicking and screaming.
I would also put your comments in that category, Proton. Very well done.
And, I agree with you. Reality is going to impose itself, no matter how many people try to continue living in The Truman Show that has been set up for us.

Not only did I raise a big vegetable garden for the first time, but I am now researching pickling, and made my first quart jar sized batch of pickles today (I have a LOT of cucumbers).
Another great/healthy thing to do with them is cucumber water. I’m doing that, too.
I also have a shitload of yellow squash! Wowsers. Also, zucchini. And finally our temperatures are back to normal, so I may (cross fingers) have a crop of roma tomatoes in the next few weeks.
I am LOVING this self-sufficiency farming thing. I think I will be overrun with peppers and my basil is growing like weeds. Pesto city.
Thanks, John AZ for the info on how tomatoes can’t fruit over 95 degrees.
Absolutely.
Mary almost all horticultural plants are rated for cold temperatures, how much freezing they can take.
Very few are rated for heat, it takes experience to know each crop. There has been reasons why certain areas grow certain cash crops.
If your summer temps continue into the hundreds, it limits crops. Certain crops, corn, squashes, have hybrids that can stand heat and lower humidities. Also, using shorter fruiting period hybrids, your choice of Roma is excellent, you can sneak two growing seasons in, one from last freeze to heat shutdown, and one from heat to first freeze. Same with cold weather crops.

It’s a beautiful collection and I have read most of them. They are bound in fine leathers and have gold leaf edges on the pages. No expense was spared to make them flawless.
But guess what? I was reading “Thomas Mann – Stories” (there are five of them) and found an error in “Mario and the Magician” on page 201. The word quiet should have been quite.

Check out this bit from Klaus Schwab’s bio. This is public on Wiki.
“Capture of democratic structures and institutions
Schwab as publisher of the World Economic Forum’s 2010 “Global Redesign” report postulates that a globalized world is best managed by a coalition of multinational corporations, governments (including through the UN system) and select civil society organizations (CSOs).[28] It argues that governments no longer are “the overwhelmingly dominant actors on the world stage” and that “the time has come for a new stakeholder paradigm of international governance”. The WEF’s vision includes a “public-private” UN, in which certain specialized agencies would operate under joint State and non-State governance systems.[29]
According to the Transnational Institute (TNI), the Forum is hence planning to replace a recognised democratic model with a model where a self-selected group of ‘stakeholders’ make decisions on behalf of the people.[30] The think tank summarises that we are increasingly entering a world where gatherings such as Davos are “a silent global coup d’etat” to capture governance.[31]”
LOL.
The existing oligarchy, in other words. It was ever thus, wasn’t it?
Oh, yes. Roll out the red carpet for the World ID. No food without your phone-based pass.
Replace democratic models of governance with autocracy at once. We need full corporate control.
Do you have any idea how fucking stupid you are?
If this insane theory of yours were to come to pass, you’d bend to it just like everyone else, because you’re at heart a conformist.
However, don’t fret. It ain’t a real thing but it gives you something to chew on and make yourself feel real clever because YOU get it and most of us don’t. Classic narcissism.
You’re actually very sad in your delusions and your constant haranguing insults cannot make up for your lack of credibility. Sadly.
So much rage.
One wonders why you post on a forum on which no one (other than our orther repeat banee) agrees with you on, well, nearly anything.
The comments from the host himself on Jan 6, Biden, the vaxx, woke politics, etc. contradict everything you write, and you have been warned under this name that you could be banned if you continue snarking instead of contributing something worthwhile.

Hey a firefight broke out at Kabul airport, involving not only US Marines, but German soldiers, which may be the first time in 76 years that a German soldier fired a shot in anger. Me: you mean German soldiers are issued rifles? Apparently, yes. This whole situation in Kabul reminds me of a book I read last year about the Boxer Rebellion, and the West’s response to it, about a half dozen nations teaming up and sending armed forces into Beijing to save their foreign service delegations trapped by the Chinese army and insurrectionists known as Boxers. They fought their way in, Russians, Germans, Japanese, British, Indian, and Amercans … Japanese Imperial troops and US infantry leading the way.
Brh
Another gift of Bill and the computer boys and girls.
Well it’s apparent why they are pushing so hard.
We have one job – to remain maskless and jabless.
Even the mainstream media can’t ignore it. Tully, JAZ and Fake Trae take notice.
“Anecdotes tell us what the data can’t: Vaccinated people appear to be getting the coronavirus at a surprisingly high rate. But exactly how often isn’t clear, nor is it certain how likely they are to spread the virus to others.
Though it is evident vaccination still provides powerful protection against the virus, there’s growing concern that vaccinated people may be more vulnerable to serious illness than previously thought.
There’s a dearth of scientific studies with concrete answers, leaving public policy makers and corporate executives to formulate plans based on fragmented information. While some are renewing mask mandates or delaying office reopenings, others cite the lack of clarity to justify staying the course. It can all feel like a mess.”

LOL.
Check out the swarm of trolls trying to deny it was the jab on this thread. Another tragedy. 23 year old footballer dead after the J&J jab.
