And thanks to all my Patrons for your support!
A nation mesmerized by its own weakness wanly celebrated the long-ago and faraway memory of standing up for itself, while it passively endures the current orgy of tyrannical cancellation and suppression of anyone talking back to the present folks-in-charge. Over just a few years, this tyranny has grown like a toxic slime mold from such an unlikely place, the Internet social app ecology of Facebook, Twitter, and Google, as they took over the public arena — where the battle of ideas is supposed to live — and did the government’s dirty work, complete with adorable emojis. You’re fired! 
Who will stand up to Zuck, Jack, and Sundar Pichai? Who elected these megalomaniacs boss of the USA? What will it take to end their reign of terror? Some sort of… revolution? (Shhhh! That must be a dirty word, even considering we just celebrated the high point of the American Revolution: The Declaration of Independence, signed July 4, 1776.)
Don’t look to “Joe Biden,” the nation’s putatively elected leader — about whose election back in November, 2020, you are liable to hear more about as the summer stickily unspools. Zuck, Jack, and Sundar managed to protect “Joe Biden” from the stupendous depredations of his offspring, Hunter Biden, recorded in explosive detail on a laptop the public was not allowed to hear about. Don’t look to the Department of Justice, supposedly “investigating” that horde of memos and emails detailing the Bidens’ influence-peddling to the CCP and others — they’re busy surveilling “white supremacists” on the apps run by Zuck, Jack, and Sundar. And for sure don’t look to the news media, that coalition of sell-outs and quislings, busy decoding the foreign policy moves signified in “Joe Biden’s” ice-cream flavor choices. (Rocky Road means: Oh, let China have that….)
Wondering who is actually running the “Joe Biden” government? Some of us out here are. (Do you think we’re allowed to say that?) For instance, have you tried googling the name Susan Rice lately? Remember her? Maybe not. “Joe Biden” appointed her Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council. From the looks of things across the country, you’d think her plate would be heaped mighty high, what with “insurrection” and other white mischief threatening to take down the republic. Anyway, I googled “news” for her. Hardly a goshdarn thing came up that wasn’t from months ago, and most of that was sheer puffery about how accomplished she is, and what a fabulous person. Don’t you wonder what her phone log looks like? All those calls to the Obama residence, day after day, hour after hour?
All of which raises the question: is the USA just floating merrily merrily down the stream of events under the beneficent reign of “Joe Biden” (Susan Rice, Barack Obama & Co…)? Or are we, rather, freefalling? I suspect it is the latter. And toward what? It being mid-year, I will venture a few guesses. Enjoy the summer while you can because Corona Virus is coming back in the fall and watch out for people who are vaccinated getting sicker than the un-vaxed. That will be a mind-bender, as if Americans are not already utterly perplexed and bewildered by one political swindle after another. The whining will drown out even the news of more “white supremacy.” But they told us….
An autumn wave of Covid-19 (one “variant” or another) would take out whatever remains of the service economy, the restaurants struggling just now to return to normality (ha!), the hair salons, the gyms, the florists, booksellers, sports, theaters, live music venues, what-have-you. Since we no longer have much of a manufacturing economy, the only thing left would be Wall Street — which was originally designed to raise money for the manufacturing and service sector but now only raises money for itself via the seemingly magical mingling of “leverage” with “liquidity” to conjure profit from black holes where the ghosts of productivity howl.
It’s some trick but, let’s face it, it’s still just a trick. Also in that picture is the weird three-legged race of deflation tied to inflation running both uphill and downhill at the same time like a nightmare out of M.C. Escher by way of Stephanie Kelton. The USA will be toting up a $3-trillion-plus deficit just for the current fiscal year at the same time that debt becomes ever more obviously unpayable. How does debt even mean anything if there is no prospect of paying it back? Especially in the form of financial instruments, namely: bonds. And how does a financial system based on debt behave when all that is the case? I guess we’re going to find out.
My guess would be a price collapse in financial instruments — abstract things represented by money — and then a collapse of money itself. You may be thinking: not a pretty picture. I know. And we thought the last days of the Soviet Union were bad in 1990. Hoo boy, are we in for a rough ride. One can hardly imagine the social side-effects of all that, but it would seem to imply people having a rather hard time finding something to eat, or getting anything else they need. Remember good ol’ Ross Perot talking about “a giant sucking sound?” Think of that against a background of things on fire. What flavor ice-cream will “Joe Biden” be ordering on Halloween?

The Powers That Be are pissing on us, laughing their asses off. Screaming, “It’s raining, it’s raining; we’ll tell you what to believe, you’ll believe it, and you’ll like it!”
Enter Tekapo stage left to tell us what a good thing this is.
Josephine’s a muppet.
Imagine, it’s all collapsing on Jo Jo Magoo’s watch.
Was that planned?
My guess? Yep.
Maybe a Trump ‘comeback’ is part of the plan, too.
Considering the amount of incessant Trump bashing propaganda that is served up daily to the wokester mob via Big Tech and the MSM, can you imagine the insane meltdown that would occur if Trump did in fact make a comeback?
Come to think of it, maybe you’re right, maybe that was the plan all along: Cheat badly, get caught, reinstate Trump, CW2. Hopefully Trump isn’t in on it…even I’m not that cynical.
Trump told his followers for weeks to be in DC on Jan. 6.
“It will be wild!” he promised them.
They showed up to the Lincoln Memorial.
He riled them up from behind plexi-glass.
He told them to walk the Mall and meet him at the Capital Bldg.
They showed up there.
He did not.
They were then professionally herded into the Capital Bldg.
A murder was lamely faked.
They were arrested.
They rot in American dungeons sans process.
He never mentions them.
He golfs.
Sad but True.
Thank you.
OG has good points there. I’ve come to share that POV, so thanks. No knight in shining armor, that guy. More like controlled oppo. But I still have a sticker on my truck because it clearly shows my tribal allegiance. So there’s that. No Messiah, just a symbol.
Saw today where now they are digging up old interviews with Ivana where she details how Donald had Mein Kampf in his book stack!
Oh noes!
And he eats babies alive and cages puppies and kittens and burns them alive!
Newsflash to the heads of cancel culture: Every history major has read Mein Kampf and probably still has a copy in their book stacks!
Donald Trump won’t be cancelled.
I have just figured out that Anthony Fauci is not a “real” doctor.
He just told MSNBC that “Americans who refuse the jab are making a POLITICAL statement”!
If a citizen refuses to be part of a “clinical trial” for an untested experimental jab that is a human rights CHOICE, NOT a “political statement”.
No REAL doctor would ever frame such a “choice” as “political” if he realizes 7000 Americans have already died from the jab and many thousands have been seriously injured. This according to the CDC reporting system.
Fauci is a liar and a criminal and should be indicted now.
Maybe then he will have his physicians license taken away and he will finally just shut the ‘ef up:

hmuller, possibilities:
– CV19 is the worst threat in memory, worldwide. Govt’s should be obeyed blindly “for the good of all”. Media and forums are justified in imposing draconian limits on freedom since people are dropping dead left and right. Corpses rot in the streets as the pandemic rages. Hospitals and societies are a hair away from collapsing so it’s now a matter of trust in technology and science protecting the human race from decimation via vaccines and lockdowns. This contradicts my experience and observations. The combo govt – media is to be taken with a grain of salt in view of the absurd explanations and equivocations they’ve offered in the past, from “remember the Maine” to gulf of Tonkin to Kennedy to 911, Iraq, Epstein, etc. I don’t believe this version of reality.
– CV19 is a bioweapon, or a naturally occurring phenomenon capable of yearly mutations to reach lethality, and achieve “destroyer of civilizations” status. I don’t know.
– Countermeasures to CV19, mainly vaccines, are a bioweapon capable of inflicting severe damage on the fabric of civilization including forced depopulation. I don’t know.
– The healthcare and pharma rackets have figured yet another way to fleece the public. No bioweapons in sight, but billions enrolled in bi annual shots. Flu shots on steroids so to speak, clientele vastly more numerous via fear propaganda. I don’t know.
– Political and financial shenanigans. A far left revolution under cover of a black swan.Or justification for a far right counter revolution. Or justification for a massive crash and the repudiation of all debts public and private, or for the creation of new currencies and new legislation. I don’t know.
I admit I don’t know much. Just that the current narrative re CV19, like that of much else, is bullshit. Also that it’s better to not watch TV or follow the news cycle too closely. Or social media. Time is better spent in thought and action towards sustainabilty. Of self, family, tribe and community. A calloused hand from tilling extra rows is a good investment. An hour obtaining useful items for the lifeboat (water tanks, crank radio, seed), beats 10 trying to convince others that we are not going back to normal. I think History is upon us, and it’s now “brace for impact”. We hope our preparations and disciplined attitude will be enough to preserve freedom over our bodies (no mandatory jabs), freedom from hunger, and just plain freedom to follow our path in live without Big Brother bossing us around. But we don’t know.
I agree Rulo. I have such a backlog of books to read and DVD’s to watch. At 66 I wonder if I’ll get thru them before I die.
I feel guilty for wasting so much time here, arguing with the irredeemable. Maybe we should trust the universe; when the time comes, we’ll all be where we need to be and do what we need to do.
When you get old enough, being true to values and principles matters more than a few more years of life purchased by living on one’s knees.
Well said, hmuller.
Stopped watching TV in 2012, which is why I’m relatively sane now.
Mary,
You missed a lot of “reality shows”, talent contests, quiz shows, and the Kardashians. You’ll never be able to catch up. LOL
I don’t watch much either. But sometimes I’ll walk into the room and my father is watching some police/intell community program. Half the time the villain is a conspiracy theorist, truther, or some right wing terrorist. The mind programmers are not ashamed to smear it on thick.
The mind programmers are not ashamed to smear it on thick.
We left subtle around the ’08 Crash.
Who knows? Hank Paulson probably stole that too.
You just nailed exactly why I don’t watch the ‘programming’.
That’s all it is.
My dad was right to call it the ‘boob tube’.
Me too. Watching FOX was my last vice. Now I rarely even do that. Television delivers mostly propaganda and rage porn. I feel much better devoting my hours to prepping and hobbies. Life is far too short to waste it consuming swill from the airwaves. A small, selective consumption of tidbits of news from non-establishment news sources I trust now suffices for keeping up with what “the world” is up to weekly.
“Cyber-polygon drill this Friday?:

tekapo is really don lemmon. No one will comment on ccn comment section so he comes here.
I suspect “Joe Biden” will be ordering a triple scoop waffle cone of Chocolate Aricept Peanut Butter Crunch.
Hmm, chocolate Aricept, what a concept! Now I’ll be suspicious of every oldster I see licking an ice cream cone.
I used to laugh because half the pictures taken of Warren Buffet showed him indulging in an Ice cream cone.
Harmless old man is the image they want you to see but the reality is exactly 180 degrees out of phase with the PR campaign.
He’s tight with the higher players in The Game where we are the little expendable pieces. But that’s nothing new.
Methinks the fire next time will melt to hell the ice cream flavor next time.
If you want to see what will happen to the service sector, just watch the cruise industry. Three attempts to sail with just crew and 1/3 full. Covid hit all three with only onesy, twosey people getting it. What will the reaction be from the CDC? I do not know the status of vaxx on these ships? We know that folks can get the crud even after vaxx. They were all tested positive, so there is another variable. Most were asymptomatic.
So watch the progress of this epitome of the service sector. It is national but also international. Remember norovirus hitting the cruise ships prior to Covid? Hundreds of folks got sick. Anybody die? We do not know. How does Covid stack up against norovirus? We do not know. We do know that hundreds are not getting Covid.
“We know that folks can get the crud even after vaxx. They were all tested positive, so there is another variable. Most were asymptomatic.“
John, if you think about it, what does having Covid really mean? Just having it in your body doesn’t necessarily mean you have a disease. Otherwise, you could say we are very disease-ridden, infected with numerous kinds of intestinal bacteria and other organisms. But we don’t say that. As long as you’re not sick you’re probably ok. Remember disease is dis-ease.
Covid most likely gets into many persons’ bodies but you don’t get sick. At some point, the vaccine deals with the virus. If you have Covid in your body and you get tested before the vaccine acts, you will have asymptomatic Covid -19, and vaccine naysayers will declare you still can ‘get’ covid after being vaxxed.
We’ve been trying for a year with no success. He’s into the Fear Porn. Won’t hear a word about the test being a complete fraud.
But well said anyway. “Antibodies” are signs of combat – like bodies scattered on the ramparts. What if the enemy never gets that far? No bodies/antibodies.
I never get sick. And I’m not going to allow my defenses to be breached by an injection full of God knows what.
an injection full of God knows what.
He sure does. And He is not pleased.
——-
GreenAlba is like, “I refuse to Believe in a Wrathful God like the One in The Bible.”
God goes, “Noted.”
what ‘act’ is the vaccine going to perform?
The vaccine naysayers only agree with the vaccine industry when they say you can still get covid after the vaxx.
Try to keep up.
Connect the dots….if you can still get the virus, still get sick and pass it on to others even after taking the risk of an assorted host of side effects that could be worse than just getting the virus and getting over it then why get it?
I personally avoid the modern medical system as much as a I can.
Bill
Kids are largely asymptomatic. Why?
Just guessing two possibilities.
Their immune systems are in hyperdrive due to the presence of the thymus gland, Could be the virus just never stands a chance against the kids systems.
Or
The virus has been coming on for a period of time unrecognized, various forms of coronavirus. Maybe kids have a group immunity to the crud that older folks do not have?
???
In the meantime one of my relatives who works in a ped ICU in Los Angeles is watching kids die.
As a result I can’t see my little healthy grandkids because I have elected to NOT participate in the clinical trial. Unless I wear a mask. No.
I cannot get any straight answers about whether these dying kids have co-morbidities like immuno-suppression from chemo, or diabetes or obesity etc.
“the vaccine deals with the virus” To be clear, the vaccine DOES NOT deal with the virus, your immune system does. The purpose of a vaccine is to show your immune system what to look out for. A vaccine is worthless if you have a compromised, weak, or under nourished immune system. Vitamin D, zinc, selenium, etc. my friend. https://covid19criticalcare.com/
Yes, you are correct, I should have been more specific. I take all of the supplements you listed, although I could up my dosages a little more. Even supplements, if the purity is not good, or if too high a dosage, have the potential to cause negative side effects. Everyone’s body is different wrt tolerances. So monitor yourself.
@t tahoe1780
Yes, those supplements are likely to be helpful.
It’s hard to find doctors who will prescribe Ivermectin and HCQ, but I got some. And I got the vax. FWIW, my Dr. said that the vaxx should stop illness or make it milder.
We can only do what we can do. A lot of this is out of our hands anyway.
Also this, from a site I’ve never seen before re Ivermectin:
https://www.hartgroup.org/ivermectin-works/
We watched a fascinating new interview last night with Dr. Paul Marik while trying to ignore the booms and other loud nonsense outside the window. He said many times that Covid is a very, very complicated disease. Much too complicated for the CDC advise to stay home with it and if you turn blue then go to the ER.
Of course by then it is too late for “early intervention” with Ivermectin, D3, C, Zinc, aspirin etc.
The interview is an hour and a half but well worth it. Marik is with FLCCC along with Kory and others:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O4gkLn-z4II
Very very complicated is right. Its symptoms change every week, and it’s never been isolated.
My understanding is that disease organisms of all kinds are always present in the bodies of all healthy people: TB, staph, strep, etc.
The notion of “asymptomatic cases” has set off my bullshit-detector from the earliest days of the pandemic.
The immune system of every organism has evolved specifically to protect against the endless stream of microbes, pathogens and parasites that that organism is subject to throughout the course of its lifespan. If a pathogen has not overwhelmed the immune system, the immune system is neutralizing the pathogen and the organism doesn’t “have” the disease.
The absence of symptoms not only means that the immune system is up to the task but in effect that the virus has not even been able to gain a foothold. As you imply, the ridiculous “asymptomatic case” notion means that a good chunk of the population of the planet is walking with one asymptomatic disease or another.
Another feature of the immune system widely accepted as a scientific truth prior to the new “science” of Covid is that exposure to a pathogen would create immunity in the organism whose immune system had been exposed to the pathogen.
No longer the case as those previously infected with Covid must do their civic duty and accept the mRNA sacrament delivered from on high.
A 2008 study of survivors of the 1918 pandemic provided a pretty definitive counterpoint to the vaccine-for-all-who-can-walk-or-crawl cult. Almost a century later, the survivors, all of them over 90, exhibited an immune response when exposed to a protein from the 1918 virus.
The final paragraph is classic:
“Anthony Fauci, MD, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said recent studies have projected that immunity lasts several decades; the current study provides proof, the AP reported. “This is the mother of all immunological memory here,” he told the AP.”
In a functioning society, somebody would probably want to know, with all that on the table, why the hell recovered Covid patients still need to get vaccinated according to the same guy who spoke those words.
https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2008/08/researchers-find-long-lived-immunity-1918-pandemic-virus
Yes. Trillions of them.
But the pro-vaxxers think the human body is a ‘clean slate’. Insane.
By the trillions. It’s our biome.
I’m not getting the vaccine for the simple reason that I already got COVID-19. As have tens of millions.
But if I were to get the vaccine, I would avoid the mRNA ones.
JAZ don’t worry about the Cruise ‘Industry’.
The plan is to install sails on giant cruise ships, also on ocean going container ships coming in from China.
Carbon 0 by 2030, as is called for in the Paris Climate Accord

meanwhile, on the Culture wars front,
BREITBART,
The National Education Association (NEA) has moved to openly promote the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in K-12 schools and to oppose any bans on instruction in both the Marxist ideology and the widely discredited New York Times’ “1619 Project.”
During its virtual representative assembly, held June 30-July 3, the nation’s largest teachers’ union agreed to “research the organizations attacking educators,” doing what it referred to as
“anti-racist work,” [Bow yr head for Fred and George, Marlin]
as well as to “use the research already done and put together a list of resources and recommendations for state affiliates, locals, and individual educators to utilize when they are attacked.”
Insanity on wheels. They are actively working to destroy education.
It’s time for the American people to develop a new school system that teaches the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
This alone would leave that thoroughly corrupted teachers union in the dust.
Teach the children (NO masks!) the 3 R’s and throw in lots of singing and dancing and art and theater then around 8th grade just give them lots and lots of books to read.
That oughtta do her.
And recess! With swings and monkey bars and slides and the rest of the stuff that kids actually enjoyed playing on. When you drive past new elementary schools now, there’s no playground.
Lots of books to read around 8th grade is a great idea but the chilling fact is many can’t read and comprehend those books very well. Placing so much pressure on schools to be social-intervention agencies as well as schools has gone a long way to ruining it.
I agree 100% on the 3 R’s, music and art and books, books and more books. I learned more on my own reading than I ever did in a classroom from a teacher. Though I did have a few exceptional educators over the years.
School vouchers would break the back of the teacher’s union and their Orwellian dystopia agenda. That’ why you won’t see such a sensible answer to expensive, low quality, public education.
How many elitists (Dem or Rep) put their children in the public schools since Jimmy Carter enrolled Amy?
Or maybe electric aircraft. Each gate will have a giant plug in.
I have heard about the return of clipper ships relative to Peak oil.
LMAO!! Excellent run-down.
Isn’t Wokie World interesting? They just wave a magic wand, and it happens.
We know that folks can get the crud even after vaxx.
“But that means that it is working!”
“Wait! What?”
“Oh ya! Sure. Now you’ve got the ‘crud’ even though you feel fine (well, except that your presence now seizes small, electromagnet engines), you must ‘shelter in place’ like a mouse until we tell you to come out. Oh … and Netflix is talking price increase again.”
They were all tested positive, so there is another variable. Most were asymptomatic.
The COVIDs sure are cunning little peskers, aren’t they? Every other virus worth its weight in gold makes the host sick but is halted by a successful vaccine. This clever virus does none of that.
Genetics plays a role, OG.
Personally, I am an example.
To get into nursing, I had to get a Hepatitis B immunization, three shots over six months.
Did it, no antibody titer. Did it again, no antibody titer. I am in a very small group, like 5% of mostly males that do not react to the vaccine.
Covid is probably just the same with its escapes.
The genetic variation of individuals makes the cookbook medicine being practiced today very dangerous at times.
JAZ my daughter is a nurse and she has taken the MMR vaxx numerous times without developing a titer. It’s a mystery.
Agreed, JAZ. Genetics most definitely play a role. I mean, it is experimental mRNA gene-therapy after all.
Dr. Paul Marik said last night (link above) that if W.H.O. REALLY wanted to end the pandemic then every willing person on Earth should be given Ivermectin prophylactically. Cheap, safe and effective.
He also mentioned that the idea of “herd immunity” with Covid is a “fantasy”.
China Flu is obviously a mix of the Black Death and Ebola in your book. And stop calling it “the crud”. It’s a flu virus that 99.98% of people survive. Jeez!
This very astute suggestion will fall upon deaf ears with JAZ.
Remember that there are 2 parts to deficit finance, the mismatch between government spending and income. to the treasury. $3 trillion is a huge amount of money, but it’s just piled on top of all the trillions of debt taken on mostly under the watches of Obama, George W., and Trump. I suspect that the current regime is deliberately piling and will use it as the excuse for massively higher taxes on everyone. They’re already pushing such increases on “the rich” in the form of much higher capital gains taxes, and inheritance taxes with the elimination of the step up in basis provision in the tax code. Once they get that in place they’ll move on to tax the heck out of everyone else via a value-added tax. After all, U.S. household wealth is somewhere around $100 trillion, which people like Sanders and Warren are drooling over. No need to mess around with income tax forms and all the deductions, etc. Half of the country doesn’t pay anything to run the federal government anyway. We’ll just pay a lot more for everything we buy just like they do in Europe. Lots of social services will be “free” because very few people will have much money. Then we’ll all head from our cramped government subsidized apartments to a cafe and bitch about the government just like the Europeans.
Zekesdad
Remember too that the Feds are just one level of taxation. As the Federal reservoir dries up, it’s supporting of state budgets will decline. This is already happening as states support for their pension plans evaporates.
JHK states that we do not really fully understand what is financially going to happen.
If no one calls in the 30 trillion, nothing will happen.
That means no foreign country wanting their money. Most importantly it means that US, and global, retirees will try to get their money and it will just not be there. Economic collapse will be centered on the collapse of the purchasing power of the elders. Oh yeah, do not forget that a big part of social security, and private long and short term disability insurance will clobber disability folks.
If no one calls in the 30 trillion, nothing will happen.
If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.
Define stop!
That is what JHK is trying to do. With much uncertainty. My point is that find who the creditors are. Most of them are people saving for or in retirement. If they all died, what would happen to the debt?
Data on who owns United States sovereign debt is readily available. Here’s an excellent chart.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thebalance.com/amp/who-owns-the-u-s-national-debt-3306124
If people own Treasury bonds and then they die, the binds are bequeathed to their heirs or to their estates, as would be the case with any financial asset.
I have no idea what Jim means when he says that U.S. debt is “unplayable.” In reality, the cost of our debt service has been declining for years. Annually, the cost of servicing our debt is less than 2 percent of GDP, which is a very manageable figure.
Here’s a very nice chart from Bloomberg showing that the cost of servicing our debt is extremely low in historical terms.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-16/yields-have-a-long-way-to-go-before-they-sting-yellen-s-treasury
Enough,
Do you think we have interest rates set by a free market?
Since 2008 rates have been kept low to extend the life of the present fiat monetary system.
If money printing by the FED spikes inflation higher (logic and math say this is likely) , they will face a dilemma. Keep interest rates low and see the dollar lose most of its worth. Or raise interest rates and send the whole country (and world) into cascading bankruptcies. HIgher rates would be the pin in the equities bubble.
You sound ,like someone who believes in a perpetual Ponzi scheme with Modern Monetary Theory which is Utter Rubbish!
Interest rates are controlled by the Fed at the short maturity end of the yield curve, but the long end is basically dictated by the market.
The fed had been buying a lot of sovereign debt securities lately, but I imagine we will see it start to unwind those positions as the economy requires less support.
Im not saying that debt is not a problem at some point, but it certainly doesn’t appear to be an issue now or in the near future.
Generally speaking, when an entity, including the United States government, can borrow money for 1.5 percent for ten years, it should do so. There are plenty of things it could invest in that yield a higher rate of return than 1.5 percent. What happens the. Is GDP grows and the cost of debt service declines as a percentage of GDP.
Im not saying that debt is not a problem at some point, but it certainly doesn’t appear to be an issue now or in the near future.

I feel I’m in an echo chamber hearing CNBC happy talk. Please listen to people who aren’t paid by the financial industry buying commercial time on their channel.
Try Greg Mannarino for starters:
https://www.youtube.com/user/GregVegas5909
I’m assuming you’re serious about seeing the situation as it really is.
“ Please listen to people who aren’t paid by the financial industry buying commercial time on their channel.”
Well, I read JHK. I also read Zerohedge (a terrible habit, admittedly). Both have been warning about collapse for years and years and telling people that hyperinflation is on the way any day now. Both have been very, very wrong. I can’t imagine how angry I would be right now if I had listened to the doomsayers and had missed out on the gains in the stock market.
I read a very diverse set of opinions and outlooks, which I fear can’t be said for many here, who read only predictions of doom and collapse.
OK I see. Then go and do as you wish.
By the way, Rome didn’t fall overnight either.
Well, I read JHK. I also read Zerohedge (a terrible habit, admittedly).
Are you gay? “Not that there’s anything Wrong with that.”
Both have been warning about collapse for years and years and telling people that hyperinflation is on the way any day now. Both have been very, very wrong. I can’t imagine how angry I would be right now if I had listened to the doomsayers and had missed out on the gains in the stock market.
Bears will be Wrong until they are Right. Enjoy your gains. They will be short-lived.
I read a very diverse set of opinions and outlooks, which I fear can’t be said for many here, who read only predictions of doom and collapse.
You are confusing reading & writing.

Let’s use a a hypothetical to illustrate a point.
What if we Really are headed to doom and collapse? Purely hypothetically.
1) How would today be any different than it is?
2) Is there anything that we could possibly do or say in such a case or are you so bent and determined to get your ice cream that you refuse to Believe that the ice cream vendor is no longer there and that you need see for yourself – Sarajevo-style snipers or not?
He will be “buying the dips” in the stock market, long after most have realized the trend has changed. (Not that we’re there yet, maybe not even close)
Young people can’t imagine a 20 year equity bear market. They are convinced at worst one down year and back up we go. They also seem to have no instinctive sense of bubbles; and they believe specious arguments which tell them what they want to believe.
How did you go broke? Slowly at first, then all of a sudden.
How does one go broke?
Usually by taking bad financial advice and missing out on good investments that generate compound returns over time.
When the stock market dropped in 2020 in response to the pandemic, the smart money bought more shares.
Listen, I don’t love that the rich get richer and the poor get trapped either. In fact, I think our system has created an unhealthy and probably dangerous level of inequality. That’s why I advocate for things like more progressive taxation. Keeping poor people angry at other poor people is the greatest trick that the rich ever pulled off.
That last sentence summarizes critical race theory perfectly.
Bears are Wrong until they are Right.
“That means no foreign country wanting their money. Most importantly it means that US, and global, retirees will try to get their money and it will just not be there”
John,
Have you not been watching? The Government will not default insofar as they Devine the money from the ether…you will get your money, but you will not get the purchasing power.
“ If no one calls in the 30 trillion, nothing will happen.”
Can you help me understand what this means? If you hold a treasury, you are entitled to be paid the coupon plus the entire principal when the bond reaches the maturity date. Bonds reach the maturity date every single day, and the government pays the principal. It has never missed a payment or defaulted. But nobody can “call in” the entire outstanding debt before the individual notes reach maturity. That’s just not how it works.
But you do know that governments worldwide have defaulted? Or that they have lost wars and the currency changed with the prewar currency getting a bad “exchange rate” — a very bad one?
This has not happened to the US yet. But given the belligerent habits of this country nasty surprises cannot be ruled out.
As an aside: I cannot speak to the FED, but over here the EZB controls all maturities on the curve not only the short end.
Years ago the FED focused on the short end of the maturities. They have since quietly expanded the manipulation to all bonds, but the financial pundits didn’t get the memo. Those who listen to the establishment pundits also don’t know this, and much more.
How much of that $100 trillion is stocks, bonds and real estate? You can’t really say its valued at $100 trillion if you try to take it too fast. The value is determined at the edges.
Capital Gains amount for about 1/4 of the tax receipts. So if the market crashed, it would wipe out even more tax receipts.
There is no way out of this except to print until the printer breaks. I expect FEDcoin will come around soon.
I had a meeting with a retirement specialist, and he said that taxes are going to go sky-high.
From what I can see, there are four, and only four ways to pay down the debt. From the most optomistic to the least:
1. increased productivity – controlled nuclear fusion, rendering electric power almost as free as the air might do it.
2. increased taxation – in the name of “fairness” always
3. inflation
4. default
A Big dose of 3 en route to 4.
We seem to keep believing that markets still exist and that the government will somehow fix the problem. Our government outsources money creation to a private banking cartel, we pay interest in perpetuity. Government creates money to keep massive frauds and corruptions afloat, buying back debt, buying financial instruments from other big banks. At the same time Americans are losing jobs, homes, savings. Nothing is real with the money supply and no one is going to save us. When the bubble breaks, Americans will be expected to pay back that 28 trillion of debt. And when we can’t: You’ll own nothing and be you’ll be happy (WEF).
Harry B, spot on. Smoke and mirrors.
Uh – you might want to check your facts. America currently has a surfeit of jobs, and personal savings have skyrocketed during the pandemic.
From what I can see, there are four, and only four ways to pay down the debt.
Ishabaka, you forgot massive war. That one typically evens the ledgers better than all the rest. Whoever wins gets a clean slate. Whoever loses does too, just with a generations-long handicap attached.
Been done countless times, producing predictable beneficlal results for the makers of said wars. You know, minus the masses of disposable citizen-soldiers caught in the middle.
Undoubtedly, increased taxation is in our future. But it won’t be enough, not nearly enough. Our host is correct that at some point the bond vigilantes will return and refuse to buy while the Federal Reserve loses control of the interest rates. We called it stagflation in the 1970’s, which is deflation and inflation at the same time; perhaps on steroids this time. The dollar would not fare well in this scenario and the social consequences for a depraved population are unhappy to think about. Think Germany in the 1920’s and the aftermath.
As Jim suggests, Biden’s shambolic, illegitimate regime is being backseat driven by Obama. And Obama only wants one thing: not to “free” social services or bigger Fed agencies – but the destruction of the country he hates.
Obama is most certainly the creation and puppet of higher powers. Can anybody believe that man advanced as far as he did based on his enormous merit?
One more.
If I remember right, the 1920’s ended up with the country so leveraged with folks getting into the stock market that when it went in 1929, it destroyed a lot of America. Why did that happen? Could it be that the tech changes of the 20’s destroyed so many jobs and so many industries that the market became the main refuge for people’s capital, what was left. Demand in the market would have driven prices up. However, when folks started borrowing to buy more shares, the capital basis for the market disappeared and the short sellers of the day had a heyday as the market collapsed.
We are at a very similar point in time right now. The creeps in charge of this country no longer live in DC. IT has just about destroyed what is left of the US manufacturing sector and will soon start eating away at the Far East. Important as if China, who is vastly over leveraged, will start wanting some of its bonds cashed in. Uh,oh US. The service sector cannot run on its own and when the blame game starts, the Obama and Biden economists are going to get the blame.
Cyber attacks may start shutting down the US as professional hackers take the US industry apart.
It may be the best thing that ever happened to this country?
what destroyed the industrial base of the economy in the 1930s was the federal reserve reducing the money supply by one-third, “in order to reign in speculation.” the country would have recovered nicely absent the fed “fixing” things.
and many died from starvation, the cold, suicide etc.
Bob, do you live NNW of Albany?
yes
Yeah, the MSM are going to double-down on blaming Dorito Hitler for everything bad that happens.
Leverage.
Great on the way up.
But if you don’t get off the escalator while it’s still moving up…
It’s even worse on the way down.
Despite the great rate of technological innovation of the 1920s, which continued into the 1930s by the way, technology was not enough to compensate for an overleveraged financial environment caused by speculation.
For many American’s the depression was…depressing and difficult.
Uber. Zillow. Even Tesla. They don’t make money, yet their stocks are highly valued. We’ve seen this movie before.
Big differences between 1928 and 2019: The US of A still had an abundance of raw materials and food (that’s from the RED pill view of the matrix), and that will trump everything else, and, from the BLUE pill, speculation and buying stocks on margin were bad–but the US government’s debt: manageable. The dollar: still based on GOLD, pretty sold. America’s was a creditor nation with a trade surplus. America’s public educational system and colleges/universities were the best.
Yes, the more you think about it, the more depressing it is.
Leverage.
Dollar pretty SOLID. Hell, very solid!!
FDR tried to leverage it by devaluing it to create more money to get people to spend more to jump start the economy.
At least he had something to leverage.
Also, in a cruel twist of irony, while FDR’s limbs did not work, his brain did. The current President?
Of course FDR was working with a US$ that was literally “as Good as gold.”
President Nixon de-tethered the US$ from gold a full Jubilee ago (August 1971) to usher in Henery Kissinger’s fiat, World Reserve Currency Petro-Dollar. It became the foundation of their Gimongous Ponzi scheme Satanically conjuring “money” out of absolutely nothing.
Other than the name “US Dollar,” FDR vs. JRB have nothing in common.
I remember that speech in 1971. Nixon said he was severing the link between gold and the dollar “temporarily”.. After 50 years we’re starting to wonder, how long is “temporary”.
If they ever relink the dollar and gold it will be to a totally new dollar. The ones we have now – forget about it. This present dollar currency will be wiped out to zero in a hyperinflation. Just my hunch. Get your gold now while dollars can still buy it..
And take delivery of Real, solid gold. And silver.
Paper gold with be worth the same as US$ after they pull the pin on US$.
Biden’s inauguration was odd, to say the least. Many of the National Guard turned their backs on him when he was driven to the White House on inauguration day. When he arrived, he found the front door locked against him. As Trump had not conceded (still has not), there was no one there to greet him. I’m not entirely convinced he ever got in. The White House still sits dark and apparently unoccupied. Where, exactly, is he camping out? Where is his seat of government? Biden, purported Commander in Chief, was refused entrance to the Pentagon. Such optics show the Biden administration to be exceedingly weak, and some of the governors are starting to assert States Rights, mostly unchallenged. Things are becoming increasingly surreal. Is our government at war with itself? Is the military split into factions? Soon, the Arizona audit numbers will have to come out. If, as I am convinced, massive fraud is revealed, any confidence in the election will be lost. As many as 30% of Democrats believe the election was probably stolen. This will be a crisis of biblical proportions.
As I watched the fireworks last night. i was reminded that Firework packages are ordered months in advance. Yet 2 days after Biden won the election? He had a rally where the fireworks spelled out Biden 2020 in the sky. A fireworks package that specialized had to ordered months in advance. It could not have been put together in 2 days.
Did Biden already know the Fix was in before we even voted?
I don’t know about that. Hillary probably had new carpeting already ordered for the oval office in 2016, but had to cancel.
Have you ever noticed that when a team wins the super bowl or the World Series, they already have the shirts and hats ready to hand to the players when they give out the trophy? Does that mean that they rigged the game? Or is it possible that both sets of tee shirts were printed and ready to go? Is it also not possible that both Trump and Biden planned victory parties so that they could be ready ahead of time if that was how events unfolded? On top of that, it is entirely possible that an elected president could get special expedited service on fireworks orders. Is it not? It’s not exactly like you or me trying to order them, is it?
As I recall, Hillary had quite the party planned, including fireworks at the ready in 2016. Obviously the fireworks got cancelled, and a few champagne bottles got thrown.
Guessing most of the booze was consumed as folks attempted to drown their sorrows.
John Podesta had to send the people home from Hillary’s “Victory Party” because she was too blotto to speak.
The way he campaigned by hiding in a closet while wearing a mask certainly leads one to believe the Dems had arranged for the “preferred” (for Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and the major media) candidate to win. When a candidate has “massive” rallies where ten people show up while the “unpopular” candidate has to turn away people because he already has too many supporters at the rally, but the guy with ten supporters wins, something is screwy.
Yes, Biden did remind me of the masked Lone Ranger, discreetly hiding from the world. Yet aided by his faithful person of color in women’s garb, KamelToe, miraculously winning in the end.
These things are arranged in advance to cover all bases. Two types of speeches are prepared: victory and concession.
This reminds me of a funny story: at the occasion of the Beijing Olympics (2008) the swimmer Michael Phelps was a hot favorite to win 7 gold medals (3 individual + 4 relays). Now no longer remembered is the fact that there was female counterpart: Katie Hoff with the same chances of making seven golds.
Thus major network was already filming the triumphant athlete profiles in Beijing even as the competition was going. The piece had to be done in advance to be ready for the viewers immediately after the fact.
Michael Phelps came through but Katie Hoff didn’t and “lost” in all individual events (“lost” like 2nd). The editors had to stay up all night to edit her out and she disappeared into obscurity — a real shame as she was a glorious swimmer.
And we do not have a clue about what will happen. The Founders did not envision corruption like what has happened and did not include it in the Constitution.
The political part of the US is going to have a chance to wing it.
Watch out, it will not be pretty.
This reminds me of a situation I read about. In the early middle ages a diocese was divided against itself and could not agree on a bishop. So the archbishop said: You people in faction A give me the name of someone in Faction B you least detest. Same thing with you Faction B.
Then he wrote the two names down on paper, put them in a hat and had some young child pick one. That person became the new bishop.
It’s like the Republicans pick Senator Joe Manchin (D. W Va.) the Democrats pick Senator Mitt Romney (R. UT). Someone picks one name from the hat; and that’s out next President. Think it would pass constitutional muster?
I think the Democrats would pick Liz Cheney.
She and Pelosi are besties. Which is why Pelosi named Cheney to the Jan. 6th “Commission”.
I think the only thing that could possibly save America at this point is the assertion of states’ rights. You’re right that it’s beginning to happen. Also there is simply nullification – just don’t enforce those laws that are detrimental to the states. I’m saddened that Georgia can’t be counted on to be one of those states. I’ve said it before but Atlanta metro is a cancer devouring our state. What does one do when one has a cancer-just cut it out. Sounds like the beginning of a plan to me.
We have the same problem in illinois with Chicago, farmgal. I’d be happy to let Chicago become its own state, support themselves with tax collection. LOL.
Ammotherapy.
In one of Greer’s books, think it was Retrotopia, Chicago was it’s own city-nation in 2060 after the original US had broken up into smaller, regional countries. In the book, it was fantastically corrupt. 😉
“The White House still sits dark and apparently unoccupied.”
Please tell me that you’re joking and that you don’t actually believe that Joe Biden is not physically occupying the White House.
I’d call “Joe Biden’s” head unoccupied and therefore Jim is right either way.
Zing!
As said, I’m not entirely convinced. I suspect a lot of what we see of Joe Biden is filmed on a soundstage. I’m entirely convinced there’s more than one of him, or he has prosthetic earlobes that can be replaced on a whim. I’ve seen the videos of what DC looks like now and there are no lights on in that building. All the federal buildings are locked and appear empty. There’s no traffic to speak of and there’s plenty of parking Perhaps, because of COVID, he is working from home like the rest of the federal employees?
“ I’m entirely convinced there’s more than one of him, or he has prosthetic earlobes that can be replaced on a whim.”
If you’re entirely convinced that he has prosthetic earlobes (?!?!) and that there’s more than one of him, I don’t know how to debate with you. I’m absolutely convinced that that is not the case. The lights are definitely NOT off at the White House. That’s a fact.
The reason there’s not much traffic in Washington and that a lot of federal offices remain at very low capacity is because most federal employees and a whole of of private sector employees are still working from home. There’s no grand conspiracy. The reason is very straightforward.
There’s a whole bunch of Bidens who have no earlobes. The prosthetis can just be “snapped in” as needed.
There are at least two Joe Bidens. One of them has earlobes that droop a bit before attaching to his jaw below his ear. The other one has hardly any earlobe at all. Of course they don’t change his earlobes. They are not the same man. The formation of the ears never changes, is unique, and is one of the methods used to identify people.
How did they get an extra Joe Biden, cloning or surgery on a real person? Why do both have Alzbheimer’s? If they’re going to make an extra, wouldn’t they make one who’s really sharp and capable? And then get rid of the original?
He also has yet to fly anywhere under the the call sign “AF1”, i.e., Air Force One, which is the call sign provided by the Air Force to be used exclusively by the sitting US president when flying. As far as I know, this is unheard of. Yet Harris has been seen flying as AF2 on and off. No one knows why this is the case, but speculation is rampant.
Waiting for a stairlift to be installed on the boarding steps?
I don’t know why you would automatically assume that he is. There are many possible reasons why moving him into the White House could be a bad idea. For one thing, the media has workspace in the White House. It is possible that Biden’s private existence is not amenable to public awareness.
While it is true that the press cannot freely enter the part of the White House that is the president’s private residence, people with dementia have a tendency to wander. Sure, Biden could theoretically be restrained from wandering, but if any appearance of this would be unseemly. Secret service herding the pajama-clad (or nude) old guy back home when he was trying to sneak out for ice cream–while babbling incoherently–would not be a good look.
It is also possible that he requires medical care at home that could attract the attention of the press–or that he requires medical care in medical facilities with an unseemly frequency.
People with dementia can be troublesome in many–often unforeseen–ways.
Great observances and questions.
They definitely have green-screened Jo Jo Magoo quite a bit, esp. at the beginning, until people started to notice. Now who knows where they hold all those events that aren’t virtual.
Yes we are in crisis, and I wonder how many people actually know it?
Too many with blinders on.
Biden stumbling three times on the airplane staircase – I’ll believe that was real. Entertaining, too.
Yes it was – lol.
He is so lucky that he landed his 3rd and final attempt. He was that close to going ass-over-tea-kettle.
While Zapruder seems untouchable, Jo Jo Magoo cart-wheeling down half of Air Force One’s staircase with a Big splat at the end would’ve jumped to second place in a heartbeat.
I was wondering about the National Guard turning their back on him. I would like to believe it but I assume they were facing that way to spot any security threats. Does anyone know what the usual practice is?
Good comment, Draupnir. Biden didn’t have to campaign, told us he didn’t need our votes to win and so it’s only fitting that he doesn’t actually have to do the job he was supposedly elected for. No, it’s all very bizarre. I don’t believe the Q rubbish, but then again, all is not right with the Usurper either. Strange times ahead.
draupnir, surreal indeed.
And you know what else is of biblical proportions? The migration towards FL. Never in over 2 decades here have I seen anything like it. Had to move my southern farm to the north of the state. Dozens of 300 mile trips loaded with live chickens, tools and supplies. The USA is moving to Fl, especially South Fl. I-75 southbound is sometimes 50% or more out of state vehicles. In the summer! Epochal crises bring about migrations. Exodus. Vast population displacements. We’re seeing it.
I don’t recommend it. As we say here when it’s too late to evacuate because the hurricane is upon you already, “shelter in place”. South FL is overpopulated already. You’ll be dead weight, without contacts, without knowing the lay of the land. Stay in NJ.
I’ll stay in Illinois. It will take one hell of a tsunami to reach me here.
The migration to Idaho is likewise biblical.
Californians are ditching California. That’s millions of people, going to Texas, Florida, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana…
Who would want to live in California? High taxes, insane regulators, high prices (like $5 gasoline).
All for the privilege of having homeless drug addicts and assorted criminals camped on the sidewalk where you live. And the city won’t do jack shit about them because of nut-case, left-wing politics.
Exactly. I couldn’t wait to get out of there. I moved to the Bay area for a job, and was there for 5 years. Yeesh. 5 too many!
While I would never say JHK is wrong, but as long as we have a demand economy some form of payment will have to be accepted for goods and services.
My prediction is Amazon will invent their own money to keep the Chinese merchandise flowing into American homes and offices. Which looks to be the same thing post covid.
Fakebook created LIBRA.
Bezos bucks. Imagine the ugly face on those.
Bald Eagle replaced by Bald Ego
Good One!
“Bald Eagle replaced by Bald Ego” That about sums it up!
You know who else are not in the news these days?
Valerie Jarrett and Loretta Lynch.
I’m hoping they’re locked up in GITMO. But the universe is not that fair.
One of the gems of the Obama years: Loretta being chased thru a suburban landscape by a real reporter while walking her dog. She sought refuge at a neighbor’s house – and was denied!
That was probably the only time she ever face any real questioning for persecution of Conservatives.
If a mob chased Loretta, would they automatically qualify as a “Lynch” mob? The universe is not that fair; but it’s nice to dream.
That wasn’t Loretta Lynch. That was Lois Lerner, Yo. However, it was comedy gold watching her try to lose the reporter.
Or Comey, or Schiff, or Brennan, or Podesta. How is it that these major foot soldiers and Trump antagonists have little to no visibility in the administration of the most popular president ever elected? Even the Clintons have been uncharacteristically quiet and reclusive, yet the Bidens managed to go out of their way to take pictures of themselves with the hobbit Carters.
It is odd. Even though the Covid hysteria is the quietest in fifteen months, and most areas have been open for quite some time now, it seems many of Washington’s power players are more “sheltered” and than ever.
That’s what gets me too. With the amount of bile and hatred they spewed over Orange Man Bad, you would have thought they would still be gloating and partying over his “demise”. Instead, they are virtually invisible. That can only mean two things: either they didn’t really win, or they are incredibly busy hunkered up with Obama and Rice’s basement, working on the destruction of the nation they all hate.
Funny you should mention that bunch. Some of the more barking mad deplorables, though banished from social media, and indeed, from all polite society, have found alternative platforms, even sponsors. There, In the outer darkness, they continue to bay at the moon, spread conspiracy theories, and interview each other. I find it interesting, because every one of those people, reputedly lying low, is rumored to have been arrested and tried by military tribunal. Except for Schiff, who has not yet been tried, and Bill Clinton, who threw himself on the mercy of the court, they have all been executed.
I should have said, “reportedly been executed.”
Eh? Reported by whom? I doubt it.
Rulo
“Some of the more barking mad deplorables, though banished from social media, and indeed, from all polite society, have found alternative platforms, even sponsors. There, In the outer darkness, they continue to bay at the moon, spread conspiracy theories, and interview each other.”
I doubt it too. Wish fulfillment fantasies–who can afford to indulge in them? I’m retired and have too much time on my hands.
However, sites like bitchute and rumble also carry many of the scientists and doctors who have been banished from social media for warning about the mRNA vaccine, still desperately trying to get out their message.
It’s the Qanoners.
They really believe this stuff, that Gina Haspell is in Gitmo, they reported she was dead, etc.
It’s fantasy porn to keep the people hooked on the psyop.
Mr. Kunstler says above that Da Covid is coming back in the Fall.
How does he know this?
If it does, it means that we have no control over the mutation properties of the coronavirus family. Not much else will matter.
Reading CFN, there is definitely a split in understanding what the capability of the coronavirus is. The political reaction to another surge could be catastrophic. We better hope the vaxx holds against variants..
Really? The “death rate” from the Delta variant is 0.1%. Which means it’s either the flu or just the watered down mutation of China flu. Most virus mutations are weaker. And China flu was never that bad in the first place. And as for the “vaccine”, it hardly even works against the original virus, and the increasingly disturbing side effects that come with are going to be much worse than any Wuflu “variant”. If you are still worried, I suggest you write to Joe for some Depends reserves to tide you over.
Generally we do not “know” anything for sure but deal in probabilities. But seeing as how there are tens thousands of new cases in countries with vaccination campaigns far advanced (UK) as well as much indication of the current crop of vaccines ineffective against prevailing variants (one week in June of 514 hospitalized cases in the UK, 210 were partially or fully vaccinated) the likelihood of it coming back in the Fall is pretty good.
Does it matter which virus pops up in the flu season (fall)?
If my understanding is correct—that the current crop of jabs target only the current corona virus version and actually weakens the immune system’s ability to fight *other* viruses—then it doesn’t seem to matter what turns up in the next flu season.
The jabbed will have fewer available defenses than the unjabbed.
Not to forget that the first line of defense against all air-borne germs is the mucous membranes and the T-cells. Teh innate immune system.
Not antibodies. So for me a big question is whether the current mRNA jabs compromise the innate immune system.
A big problem that I see looming is that records are not being kept carefully, so we won’t have enough data to really understand what is going on as this health/sickness situ develops.
What I was referring to in my second graf is
paradoxical immune enhancement (per Dr. Mercola article linked above).
One of the most important innate defenses against viruses is intracellular (“cellular”) defense: sentinel cells like macrophages, dendritic cells may not recognize an incoming novel virus. The virus then infects cells and uncovers viral DNA or RNA.
Cells have receptors to recognize foreign DNA and RNA (Toll like receptors TLR7 and TLR8). When they do so, they raise a sytem-wide alarm immediately and generate interfereon alpha to inhibit viral replication.
This is an extremely important part of the innate antiviral defense. It so happens that the Pfizer vaccine (and likely all mRNA vaccines) down-regulate this reaction thereby weakening the defense against _all_ viruses.
A merry good Christmans and a happy H5N1 everybody!
Here is the link to the article where this finding is described:
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.03.21256520v1
In support of this theory: unusual virus infections are observed in Israel:
https://www.jpost.com/health-science/covid-19-might-be-over-but-viral-infections-in-israel-are-surging-671354
Israel is the most thoroughly and earliest vaccinated country (mostly Pfizer).
It is possible JHK was referring to the ongoing MSM attempts to ramp hysteria over the, “Delta,” variant.
Absolutely, the MSM is the mouthpiece of the gang of thieves in DC right now. They will not give up their handle on power without a fight.
good question. not to mention nobody does what the 90’s tv. gurus
said: don’t give it energy – everything is out the window with a Great Leap Backward
Not only did Mr K state that the COVIDs will come back in the Fall. Our hip host also stated that it will be the vaxxed that are dropping dead like mRNA test-cats & -ferrets.
Mr K sees that Night Owl, Mary et al are clearly Right, imho.
———–
It is time to let go of your psychological blanky. It is mud-soaked. It is dead weight.
TPTB want less people. WAY less. This is their play. Right now. They milked their phoney bologna fiat Petro-Dollar rackets for a full Jubilee and are now cashing their chips like Hank Paulson writ large.
Yoho didn’t like me saying it but let’s be Honest:
Americans were not exceptional. Of course, raising children in this dog-eat-dog World lying to them that they are exceptional results in delusional chumps while dog-eat-dog.
TPTB have milked you clean. They won’t tax the rest out of you. They will simply, 1 day, pull the pin on the US$ and voila!
“You’re the chumps, Yoho” – this is how he phrased it.
You = American tax-payers (i.e. those now responsible for the Biggest debt ever)
What concerns me, O.G. is that TPTB will come up with some bogus “science” to explain how it’s the unvaxxed who are causing all the problems and killing the vaxxed.
They are already foreshadowing exacrly that, HM.
The Delta Variant will grow & spread by the greedy, selfish, smash-their-faces-in, asymptomatic unjabbed.
Sad but True.
Hmuller. Let them try. There are more and more people refusing to be taken in. 2m people were on the streets of London last week protesting against the pointless lockdowns. BoJo then walked back his China flu passport policy. On Wed, 60k Brits will watch England v Denmark in the Euro (soccer) – with no masks, no proof of “negative” tests or social distancing. Even the sheep amongst us are waking up.
I hope it’s not too late.
Their moves have gotten way more desperate.
They did not come this far to fail and be frog-marched to The Hague.
Hereward
There were ‘thousands’ at the march in London, not 2m.
And the crowd at the England v. Denmark match were maskless but tested.
Not disagreeing with your aspirations, just saying.
hmuller, a Gulag Archipielago for the refuseniks?
Could be. I saw French officialdom wants to make the vaccine mandatory for everyone. It may not happen, but the Cabal is pushing this hard.
Jim is not predicting timing of Covid new wave.
He’s predicting guaranteed MSM drivel in September.
Why is it so hard to guess?
Ya. Ok.
There will be no new wave, because there aren’t and never were any waves to begin with.
And OG, I don’t think Jim sees things my way. My view is that the Drosten Test is Corona.
There is nothing else. Fake cases created by a test ill suited for purpose and cranked up to 45 cycles.
It is a fucking hoax.
I concur mightily, except that the injections are potentially a kind of delayed fuse, voluntary euthanasia for the immuno-compromised and an infertility vector of unknown duration for everyone else.
Yes, I think that is that is the last piece of the puzzle. What is going to happen when flu season picks up again, and the injected have to deal with the flu in the wild?
In the animal tests, the animals all died, which is part of why the Pharma mafia could not get full authorization for these shots.
This is literally a mass experiment, if you want to put it positively. The kicker is, they conceivably know how the test ends, as they have already been there.
That test was so sensitive, that I’ve read posts from at least two people who claimed to have made appointments for a test, were unable to attend, and were notified that their tests were positive without having even been near a swab.
Draup, there is a good session at the Corona Ausschuss where they discuss how the tests came about.
After the fake videos of people dying while running down the street in China, the WHO had an emergency session where they were told to declare a pandemic. Problem was, they had no cases.
They contacted Drosten and he developed his special PCR test. And suddenly they had a few thousand cases and a pandemic was declared (they also changed the definition of a pandemic).
It has been verified that in most countries the tests were being run at 45 cycles, when anything above 25 was known to produce mostly false positive (accoriding to Ur-inventor Mullins).
Every case stems from the fraudulent test. This is the greatest hoax in human history.
Hoax with a cap, please.
I am less sure, NO.
I Believe that you are correct and I regularly see the Real World match your assessments.
Mr K undoubtedly reads you and your valuable links.
Mr K sees what is going on.
However, unlike Night Owl or MaryQueen, Mr K publishes under his Real name and with his Real well-respected reputation and distinguished career.
That is, I Believe that Mr K is publishing towards what you say is Really going on but he heads slowly in that direction as the path is fraught with trepidation-inducing pitfalls.
If we get ahead of ourselves, Tekapo LOLs and that’s about it. Mr K has much more at stake plus also has a sizeable lead over similar pundits.
Mr K is being cagey while he carefully discovers and reveals The Truth, imho.
When is everyone going to realize that the “variants” are not naturally occurring but are new releases timed according to plans or changing events. It’s very curious that India and China get involved in another of their long history of Border conflicts, and within a month Indians are dropping like flies beneath a crop duster.
Look for an extremely virulent “Variant” to hit Taiwan as China looks to weaken the island prior to an invasion.
Covid-19 is lab created and weaponized. It makes the “Neutron” bombs of the 70’s look so “uncivilized”.
So why does the CDC identify Covid as “PIC” on their site: Pneumonia, Influenaz, and Covid? If it’s all that big and bad, why pad the numbers with other diseases? Or bribe institutions and doctors to write Covid as cause of death?
Don’t believe me? Google CDC, PIC
The new variants are released from the television.
NO, avoid the television.

It’s the flu season and they conflated flu and colds with so-called Covdi19. So a no-brainer.
Yep. And what DID happen to flu last winter? For the first time in recorded history, we had almost no flu deaths, down to 1’822 from 38m. Amazing coincidence!
Flu and colds no longer exist. Along with cancer, heart disease, thrombosis, and sepsis. All rebranded as Covid19.
Probably because “the flu” always comes back in the fall/winter?
Since, for all practical purposes, covid is just another iteration of the flu, and you can count of a recurrence of the flu during the fall and winter–yes, you can be pretty sure it will be back.
I am not sure that G-pop will put up with any more lockdown horseshit–at least in some states. Liberal cities and some liberal states might go full-on with Australia-type restrictions, but in many states, I would expect more resistance if a repeat performance were attempted. Conservative states will be much more prepared to counter such measures, and they will have facts and figures to back them up. We all got taken by surprise the first time around.
The Soviet Union’s last days were bad. It took years for Russia, the core of the USSR, to regain its footing. And yet… it did. And today, they are on “solid” ground. Not as affluent as the the West, let alone Americans, but not bad at all. They have clean water and electricity, and a functioning society.
Russia was not as developed as America (back in 1990! Let alone NOW!!!) and the Russian people were not as “sophisticated”, at least in the area of consumerism (the arts, ballet, classical music, spirituality, they may be ahead).
So the shock of their implosion was akin to being pushed off the 2nd floor. It’s bad. When on falls from the 2nd story, it be fatal–or it may just be some bruises, and one gets up in pain and walks away. Usually, one is injured, often seriously.
The shock of America’s implosion may be like falling off the 4th floor. Much worse. If it is the 4th floor, (and after all, are we not at the “peak” on many levels?), it will be much worse of a fall than the second. Usually falling from there is fatal or paralyzing.
Russians had intergenerational living arrangements. Those who had families had a real (not virtual…) social support network. Russians had a lot less stuff. What they had wasn’t as good. They didn’t have suburban sprawl. They walked or used shoddy, but serviceable, public transportation. They didn’t sink foundations for millions of exurban homes in their farmland. The were definitely not living beyond their means.
And even though subjugated, the Russian people retained similar values and culture.
Once the Russian state dispensed with Communism, while not China, just using simple, common sense principles, the Russian were able to make up a lot of ground–after a few awful years. But, this is important, they survived the awful years without civil strife or civil war. They were able to feed themselves, and life went on, pretty much as before, in their cramped, mass-produced apartments for the urban Russian, and their small homes for the rest.
The US has been living beyond its means (budget deficit and…TRADE deficit!) my entire adult life.
American capitalism is to a large extent about hustling and conning–“making money with money”.
“Leverage” is a wonderful way to get more, faster! Yes, it is.
Of course, deleverage means, that in reverse, it will be an awful way to go backwards. If/when society starts to implode, it will unravel.
The ‘safety net’ in America is based on money–I pay taxes now and collect Social Security later. Families tend to be scattered–kids to go college and land that first job 700 miles away. Grandparents and kids don’t live under the same roof. It is liberating, for sure! But it also requires a level of affluence and financial stability that, if one reads our host or other intelligent, and frequently very rich, individuals, America has been lacking for some time.
The ‘common values’ that Americans had are being questioned and discarded just as the storm clouds are rolling in.
So, if things do not hold, the average American will feel a lot more pain than the average Russian–both, because we will take a bigger step backwards, and because on average, we are not as tough or tolerant of “pain” as Russians–and quite honestly, many other people in the world.
All good points and one I would like to add–their medical system certainly didn’t compare to our advanced one but it was accessible to the citizens without insurance or the specter of bankruptcy.
and they had a surplus of oil to export.
Nevertheless,overall life expectancy dropped by 4 years in Russia in the early 1990’s; even more for the vodka guzzling male population. It has since recovered.
1990 68.89 years
1994 64.47 years
Today 72.66 years
Google: life expectancy russia 1990’s
In aviation there is something called ‘coffin corner’ where the higher you go the narrower the margin gets between the Mach limit of the aircraft and the stall speed. When you’re at the corner, going any faster causes a supersonic shock wave to develop with undesirable consequences, and going any slower causes a high altitude stall with undesirable consequences.
This is how I’ve always thought of what you are describing and about many things in life in general. You can increase life expectancy but it comes at the cost of resilience and fragility and it is also subject to the law of diminishing returns.
Conversely, while the mean life expectancy may well be lower in Russia, they were in much better shape to pull through the collapse of the Soviet Union than the USA would/will be.
That was a superb post from Socrates.
Agree
On his blog while ago, Orlov did compare the two, CCCP and USA in the time of societal collapse.
In the former, during the turmoil, people’s utilities were not turned off, public transport was free and nobody was kicked out from the “dreadful” Soviet apartments. Dacha’s land on the outskirts of the cities did provide some food.
Later did not fare well for an obvious reason just by reading the list above.
I think he covered this in his book Confronting Collapse too. Essentially, the USA has farther to fall.
A big problem I see is that Americans do not generally care about one another.
This can easily be witnessed by all the cowardly physicians in the US who are too afraid to do simple research with the FLCCC docs on Covid. “First, do no harm” is a thing of the past.
The bulk of these doctors currently “caring” for Americans are far more concerned with their wallets and being professionally cancelled. Dr. Marik pointed this out in his talk last night (link above).
Sad, corrupt, uncaring and dishonest days we are living in now.
Diversity destroys community. So do cars and malls. And of course the whole Capitalist ethos that lead to them does so as well.
The average citizen is too stupid to escape the cage of propaganda which the symbiotic structure consisting of the ruling oligarchie + multinational corporations and their mass media arms put them in.
The situation can get much much worse without there being a reaction by the public. The official lies can assume bizarre forms. A bit like Nazi Germany winning the war by luring the Russians into the suburbs of Berlin to be annihilated there.
With the structure for election fraud now firmly in place it will be impossible to change anything. The only way out is a complete breakdown of existing structures (as in Germany 1945) or a coup by the military.
To join JHK in echoing Dylan’s “Visions of Johanna” in his prose today, I’ll add a similarly apt direct quote: “We sit here stranded / Though we all do our best to deny it.”
“Things ought to get interesting
Right about now”
“You’re invisible now
You’ve got too many secrets to conceal”
“You’re gonna have to serve somebody”
“Everybody must get stoned”
And what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah
Makes you stop and lo wonder why
Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
Who just couldn’t help but cry
Oh, this ol’ river keeps on rollin’, though
No matter what gets in the way and which way the wind does blow
And as long as it does I’ll just sit here
And watch the river flow
People disagreeing everywhere you look,
Makes you want to stop and read a book.
Why just the other day I saw someone out on the street that was…
Really shook!
Good article and your guess what’s going to happen is certainly as good as anyones, probably better since you’re watching it more closely than most people.
Where are the idealist, young lawyers fighting for free speech? I don’t know how anyone could look at this censorship and not realize Americans are being stripped of free speech under the guise of “fake news”? Has this been challenged in any court? The appalling Congressional hearings showed our government was urging them on. Pretty bad when even that AI robot Zuckerberg weakly objected to being put in the position of censor.
There was a segment on the national news about the housing boom and a young woman who bought a house with no inspection and then discovered it was falling apart. Guess whose fault it was?! The government! “It should be against the law to buy a house without an inspection.”
Maybe that’s why no one is objecting — we want the government to do our thinking for us, give us our opinions and bail us out of our stupid decisions.
“Maybe that’s why no one is objecting — we want the government to do our thinking for us, give us our opinions and bail us out of our stupid decisions.“
That’s the scariest part of your entire post.
Israeli doctors develop ‘pig-human’ hybrid organ for transplant
One might think that this headline is a fabricated anti-semitic slur but it is actually from yesterday’s The Jerusalem Post.
https://m.jpost.com/health-science/israeli-doctors-develop-pig-human-hybrid-organ-for-transplant-672861
There have been many attempts to implant animal organs in humans, however there have been very acute rejections.
beantownbill., are ‘pig-human’ organs kosher?
‘pig-human’ organs kosher? WOW.
Meanwhile, the push or pushback continues,
Jews, who have exclusive kosher rules and disdain breaking bread with goyim, whine about the ‘racism’ of French wine-and-dine.

Mitral valves have been replaced by pig valves for years so this is nothing new, really. I’ve never heard any objection to it on religious grounds.
I guess if you object to pig parts, for a few dollars more you can get Uighur parts.
Frankly, OG, a pig face transplant would improve my looks. I think my missus has already put me on the waiting list. 🙂

With no critical thinking skills being taught in schools, pulling the wool over people’s eyes may not be that much of a challenge. Many years ago in civics class (not taught anymore) we had to read an editorial and analyze it according to logic. It was actually fun b/c most didn’t actually make any sense and almost never presented any proof to backup their assertions.
What are you complaining about? It is only “hate speech” that is forbidden. And hate speech is defined as any speech which the tyrants hate.
Recent numbers on the delta variant revealed two very interesting numbers. First, of the unvaccinated people who got Delta, .08% died, again confirming how low the death rate is from the virus. We can assume that more people got infected but not diagnosed because symptoms were mild, so that sets an upper limit on death from COVID. The original study by Pfizer to justify the EUA also showed that only 3 of the 162 unvaccinated people (out of 20,000 closely monitored people) who got infected got severe COVID, and only one of those required hospitalization.
Second, the death rate from Delta among the vaccinated was .6%, 8 times higher. Granted that the vaccinated were largely older, this still does not bode well.
Interesting fact about the Delta COVID variant. See here:
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/997418/Variants_of_Concern_VOC_Technical_Briefing_17.pdf
Page 13. 117 people have died of/with the variant in England. 44 were unvaccinated, and 73 were vaccinated. 50 of those had had the full two shots. The death rate in the unvaccinated is .08%. The death rate in people who have had two shots is .69%
That is a disaster. The overall death rate from COVID is about .1%.
Two killed to save three… https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/07/05/covid-shots.aspx?ui=74d3aa872678a928128bdf3327f1f1159e13b205161acb30d78b9048b1538243&sd=20110531&cid_source=dnl&cid_medium=email&cid_content=art1ReadMore&cid=20210705&mid=DM927855&rid=1200598156

This may be a “disaster” from your PoV but it is going pretty much exactly as planned.
Cuck Todd fawned all over Dr Anthony Fauci on NBC’s Meet the Press yesterday. It was creepy.
Thanks for the link, DrTom. I’m guessing I won’t see this on BBC News.
A while back, when Big Pharma were fudging numbers to get the highest % efficacy for their ‘product’, my instinct told me they’d be lucky to hit 50% never mind 95%. What I never imagined was that they would lead to an increase in deaths, yet here is some tentative proof.
Autumn/Winter will be the real test. I think Jim is right, it will come back again regardless of vaccines. It will be interesting to observe the reaction and behaviour of both governments and the masked when it does.
Second, the death rate from Delta among the vaccinated was .6%, 8 times higher. Granted that the vaccinated were largely older, this still does not bode well.

This was discussed in the previous cycle, and without one or two other stats, it is hard to draw conclusions that are dire, and in fact they are positive. The BBC pointed this out.
Overall, what the numbers above don’t include are all the older people who came in contact with the virus but did not contract Covid-19, or only did so very mildly. Prior to the vaccine rollout, a large percentage of Covid deaths were among the elderly, and now that percentage seems to be falling, because a much higher proportion of the elderly are vaccinated.
So it appears that for the 60+ or 70+ cohorts it is far better to be vaccinated if you come into contact with – or indeed contract – the virus. Your risks of serious hospitalisation or death appear to be proportionately much lower, despite your age, if vaccinated.
This would appear to be “good” news – and shows yet again we need to be careful with raw statistics. We also need to carefully monitor the longevity of the immunisation cover, and also its effectiveness against the Delta Variant, and others.
And from JHK’s essay:
Enjoy the summer while you can because Corona Virus is coming back in the fall and watch out for people who are vaccinated getting sicker than the un-vaxed.
If this is implying that those who are fully vaccinated AND contract Covid-19 might have a worse outcome (death, serious illness) than had they not been vaccinated – then I haven’t seen evidence that indicates this.
In fact the reverse should hold – many more people will not contract it at all, or only mildly … and the benefits increase as you get to 60 or older.
OTOH, if the statement is predicting that those who suffer Covid-19 the most in the Fall will be the vaxxed rather the un-vaxxed in general – I can’t buy that without rather more evidence.
It might be the case that a solid proportion of those who have serious illness or die are vaccinated, but mainly because those most likely to do worst will be the frail old, right across the vaxxed – un-vaxxed spectrum.
And further, those more likely to succumb to Covid-19 (mostly, but not only the old, but anyone immuno-compromised) might also be the cohort for whom the vaccines work least well.
But we can’t ignore that millions won’t contract the disease at all, and they otherwise might have – had they not been vaccinated.
Again it’s a case of being cautious with statistics, and being modest in drawing conclusions – especially on here with so many who are not only vehement anti-vaxxers, but also earnestly believe the mRNA vaccines are a planned cull.
Translation: anything that might go against the narrative, downplay it or hedge it with weasel words. Anything that supports the narrative, push it as hard as possible.
Two totally different standards apply here just as they do with Biden vs Trump media reporting.
Translation: anything that might go against the narrative, downplay it or hedge it with weasel words. Anything that supports the narrative, push it as hard as possible.
It’s what every human being does every single day, in every transaction – even, or possibly especially, in their marriage.
Anyway – my comments weren’t so much about the spin-doctoring, more about the selective use and mis-use of raw numbers.
The most obvious one is “X % of Covid-19 deaths were vaccinated (or unvaccinated, depending on your spin)”.
It is meaningless without knowing ages, percent of the cohort vaccinated, and the percent of total cases (from where the deaths occurred) that were vaccinated at that time. And are we talking about the last year or the last month?
But the one stat we can’t get is how many people avoided being infected because they are vaccinated.
It might be the case that a solid proportion of those who have serious illness or die are vaccinated, but mainly because those most likely to do worst will be the frail old, right across the vaxxed – un-vaxxed spectrum.
In other words, vaccination isn’t required for young, healthy people and isn’t going to stop old, I’ll people from dying. Sheesh. What have we been saying for the past six months.
In other words, vaccination isn’t required for young, healthy people and isn’t going to stop old, I’ll people from dying. Sheesh. What have we been saying for the past six months.
And I for one haven’t disagreed. I have argued for targeted vaccination, some social distancing and masks, quarantine for travellers, but otherwise let businesses and schools operate.
But there is a cohort – say the average-healthy 50-80 year-olds for whom the risks from vaccination are absolutely minuscule compared to Covid-19 itself.
And it might stop a proportion of bad deaths in nursing homes – nothing to lose dispensing it there of course.
And for the young-healthy (20-50) other issues arise – especially in respect of whether vaccines should be mandatory for entry into certain roles – health care, transport … or any place where you are in confined contact with lots of strangers.
“And for the young-healthy (20-50) other issues arise – …”
Indeed. I have a nephew living in Hamburg since just before the crud arrived. He’s just 31, single, and living in a flat with other Ph.D. students.
His real fear is the risk of ‘long COVID’ as he’s seen several people in his cohort come down with the (original) virus and still, after many months, not recover to their full pre-infection fitness.
It’s grim, and while anecdotal, it’s real and in his personal experience. He’s currently in quarantine because a flatmate tested positive last week.
His field is microbiology as well, so he has some idea of how tiny little things work, certainly better than the vast majority of the board’s denizens.
He wants the vaccine.

Yes – it’s “interesting” how some of the self-styled insiders on here are quick to highlight adverse reactions to the various vaccines, but totally brush away stories about the adverse reactions to – and bad outcomes from – contracting the virus itself, even though the percentage risks of the latter are higher by several orders of magnitude than from vaccination.
And as I said, Covid-19 risks rise significantly for those over 60 or 70 and onwards.
His field is microbiology as well, so he has some idea of how tiny little things work, certainly better than the vast majority of the board’s denizens.
A pointless appeal to authority, RL. Nobody needs a degree in virology to examine the real-world data and work out the actual threat.
Anybody scared of ‘long Covid’ (LOL) can avail themselves of a safe and effective experimental vaccine and wear an N95 mask on their face for the rest of their life ‘just in case’.
It might be an idea to take your nephew’s car keys away too, ‘just in case’ he hurts himself in a crash. Perhaps he should also avoid swimming to minimise the risk of drowning and maybe never climb a ladder again. Safest of all would be to remain quarantined in perpetuity.
Thanks, Doc, for the raw data. When will people wake up?
People are awake … “raw data” has to be turned into useful information. Statistics 101.
Jim forgot one sector of the economy that is doing relatively well, and that’s the misbegotten corrupt money grubbing soulless psychotic organization I call the medical/pharmaceutical/insurance industrial complex. I don’t trust them as far as I can spit.

Has Victoria Nuland been confirmed to her senior post in the Department of State (#3 ranking?)? If yes, what is she up to these days? Why did Biden nominate her after her disastrous role in the 2014 Ukrainian revolution?
Maybe it was BECAUSE of her actions in Ukraine. Remember, Ukraine was a democratic country before the coup. Or maybe she and Hunter are on the same energy board of directors.
Appropos:
ThreadReader tweets showing how China launched the global hoax campaign:
“1/5 This @nytimes article by @paulmozur is a smoking gun on the genesis of the coronavirus lockdowns.
According to the article, the CCP launched a massive social media campaign in ITALY to advertise its coronavirus lockdown measures in early March.”
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1270925788389486593.html
I’d like to see the corresponding CNN etc. broadcasts from that time as well.
If the Chinese started the “hoax” why did we pick up the ball and run with it? Are we now doing the bidding of the Chinese?
It’s a global effort, but this shows that they kicked it off w/Italy.
At the end of the day, Lockdowns in various countries of the world did not come about because of a decision imposed by China or some influence operation undertaken by China to sway decisions. The domestic elite, the rulers/authorities of each country, are responsible for the decisions made by that country and for the fate of their people. IMO, CNN and BBC are far more responsible for what went down in the US and UK than the Chinese could ever be.
Because the WEF is working with China.
Maybe.
I tend to go back and forth on this point.
We do know, based on the WEF’s published output, that the WEF thinks the Chinese command economy is just the best thing since sliced bread.
So, it could be a situation where the WEF is simply taking its cues from the CCP rather than actively colluding with them.
There is no maybe in it for me.
They have aided and abetted China in building its economy for several decades. And they have (in the Paris Accords, for example) allowed them to pollute to their heart’s desire, while Europe and the United States are forced to go in the opposite direction. Climate lockdowns are in store for us to finish the economic hit job started by the Covid Hoax.
The WEF/bankster group (GloboCap as CJ Hopkins refers to them) are pushing for China to become the sole hegemon, which is also why most manufacturing has moved there, and why they are working to use the Chinese Social Credit score model in the US and Europe.
Interesting aside: the Chinese have already been in talks with the EU to run the Covid vaxx pass/World ID program.
A key facet of the WEF types is their arrogance and obtuseness. They probably think they are using China for their dirty work. In reality, I’m sure the hard-headed CCP folks are laughing up their sleeves at the effete globalists of Davos.
According to the article, the CCP launched a massive social media campaign in ITALY to advertise its coronavirus lockdown measures in early March.
Because both Northern Italy (and Iran) were two of the very earliest places outside China itself, where Covid-19 hotspots really emerged. Thailand was another. No mystery, no conspiracy, no smoking gun, no hoax.
Just a nasty public health emergency starting in Wuhan – that turned into a pandemic.
Another excellent offering this July 4th hangover day, James.
“Also in that picture is the weird three-legged race of deflation tied to inflation running both uphill and downhill at the same time like a nightmare out of M.C. Escher by way of Stephanie Kelton.”
Killer sentence.
What happened to all the MMT evangelists, BTW? It might just be that I had them all blocked on social media, because the pestering was too much for me to take, or maybe they are no longer convinced that simply printing money because they can is the answer to all of our ills?
Loved that sentence, too—but who is Stephanie Kelton??
The MMT Goddess.
Yes. Mr K is cranking it out like Roger Maris.

Alberta Crude
July the 4th
Carrying on
Going north
Before the dawn
I remember ’21
Like it was yesterday
One, two and done
Oblivious to what was in play
They told us to line
They promised us “normal”
That we could again dine
Casual and formal
But we started to drop
And then the earthquake hit
It Just wouldn’t stop
A complete storm of shit
Tens and hundreds and thousands
More and more every day
The unjabbed ran for the Crown Lands
The jabbed, the city stay
But that was 2021
Many years ago
We had missed our fun
And ignored what we did not know
Weddings had been planned
Graduations postponed
Condos on shifting sand
Airspace increasingly droned
Seattle buckled in the heat
Vancouver too
Hurricane Fernando complete
From the Gulf up to the Soo
I remember his eyes
They had taught him to hate
A hundred million lies
He scoped my fate
Frozen in fear
“Forgive him, please God!”
But then the sun burst clear
And they bombed the whole squad
Pack up the bag
It’s never empty long
Down to half a mag
Half a mag and a song
“Is it safe to travel at night?”
“It’s not safe to stay here.” 1
“What will we do about sight?”
“I don’t know. C’mere.”
You know that they are coming
You know that we’ll be caught
But you’ll feel the beats drumming
At least until you’re shot
We go now to high ground
Tomorrow we’ll forage for food
Do not make a sound

Thank you, Mary. Much appreciated.
BTW – Boise was listed on Cuck Todd’s Sunday show as 1 of the 5 biggest gainers in housing prices in US during the COVIDs.
I Believe that you made a very smart move.
She’s renting. She missed the window of opportunity.
I’ve no interest in the housing market ATM. We have property in the family that I own a part of, which I’ll be using in retirement. So the move is only good insofar that I like Boise. A boom of this size was unexpected when I arrived, so I may end up moving yet again to somewhere that Californians aren’t ruining (yet).
“ It’s some trick but, let’s face it, it’s still just a trick. Also in that picture is the weird three-legged race of deflation tied to inflation running both uphill and downhill at the same time like a nightmare out of M.C. Escher by way of Stephanie Kelton.”
What in the heck does this mean? What is “inflation tied to deflation?” Does that mean some of the good we purchase are getting more expensive while others are getting cheaper? If so, isn’t that the completely normal state of affairs?
It sounds to me like Jim is hedging on his prediction of the past year on HYPERINFLATION!!!
It is not normal when consumer goods are dirt cheap while houses and stock prices need new data types like long-long-double.
In this normality all you can afford is the stuff on its way to a landfill.
I agree with you that the housing market has gotten ridiculous. I hope we allow a lot more housing to be built so that supply and demand can come back to some sort of healthier equilibrium. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of NIMBYism amd restrictive zoning that makes it difficult to build sufficient supply of housing in places where it makes sense o do so. Jim used to write very smart things about this very issue.
And then there’s that whole depop program that they are running Right now. Let’s consider that.
I Believe that people per square mile is about to be substantially reduced globally. This will, of course, cause significant downward pressure on Demand for residential real estate.
That will make UBI work nicely as Techno Feudal Serfdom becomes Real.
I do not believe that there is any such depop program. What’s your timeline for when the 67 percent of American adults who have been vaccinated drop dead and we see a United States population of only 100 million or so? Or do only a percentage of the vaccinated die under this program?
I think we should make a wager.
I don’t know. It is not my timeline. It is not my agenda.
They are the history-makers. I merely study what they do as they create new Realities for us.
I assume that you speak of a Gentlemen’s bet as I would never position myself to prosper from cataclysm as, for example, the still unidentified unprecedented airline stock short-sellers of September 10, 2001 did.
What is your proposed bet?
FYI – I am 1-0 in bets on CFN but GreenAlba is a Scot Welsher. Well, she kind of, sort of … anyways GA is gonna GA.
You seem like Tekapo‘s little brother. Are you?
Gee, then I guess Blackrock, Blackstone & Koch (et al.) aren’t in on this Great Depopulation Plan if they’re buying up everything they can and even paying over the odds for it all!
I’m not sure that I like your Police Work, there RL.
Why is them owning the assets while owing worthless dollars Bad for them?
They will not depop to zero.
Perhaps you won an argument at the Kids’ Table but you had Best shush and listen here at the Adult Table.
Yeah, I just read an analysis whose point was:
Are we in a housing bubble or not?
There were points on both sides, but the last point was:
We are not in a “bubble” (i.e., housing “overpriced”) because the main feature of the situ is that there simply isn’t enough housing to meet the need. So the supply/demand relationship is out of whack until more housing is produced.
Regarding the NIMBY issue, I happen to live in a very beautiful area and would much prefer senstitively designed multifamily units within already built-up areas of town to opening up undeveloped areas to blobs of new housing. Ths is the opening shot for sprawl, and this is one of the reasons, IMHO, for the extreme nimbyism related to a lot of new housing
The other one is that if you live in a nice little community and a developer accepts any state funding for new housing, then you have to accept applicants from all over the state. This has measurable downsides regarding social issues. It is much better for localities to retain control of the financing of their local housing and retain control of who gets it—i.e., local people, not outlandres. (I am talking about “affordable housing,” not luxury housing. Terribly PC, but I think this is a major stumbling block to creating more housing.
I meant, terribly “UN-PC”!

This is what Critical Race Theory (CRT) talks about precisely. Even when there are racially affirmative laws on the books in theory, systemic racism “real” kicks in to ensure that people of color continue to face discrimination.
It’s why some whiteys hate CRT – not because it’s false, but because it’s true.
Isn’t “whitey” the equivalent of “nigger”?
Tekapo is a racist, too.
Who knew?
LOL.

You suggest solving the out of whackness of Supply / Demand only has 1 way to equilibrium: more Supply.
You neglect that another way to equilibrium would be less Demand.

Isn’t “whitey” the equivalent of “n[*]gger”?
No- we’ve covered this ground comprehensively before.
When the dominant race/group (usually white) oppresses or discriminates a minority because of the colour of their skin or ethnic background, it is “racist”. Racism is an aggressive political act, not just a neutral transaction.
But despite the best efforts of some white hats, it is not a two-way street. It is not a+b = b+a, it is a-b to b-a. Minorities can do all sorts of insulting and rude things to dominant majorities, but it ain’t racist.
Have you taken a poor, underprivileged black family into your apartment yet, Agent Po? If not, kindly STFU.
Capitalist Man! The tiny house project showed promise, but people immediately tried to make “a thing” out of it – make them into ego objects for well heeled bohos, instead of housing for the desperate, whose numbers will only increase. Thus what started as 20,000 and could have gone down as they went into mass production skyrocketed to 50,000 as the elite Builders moved in to satisfy conspicuous consumption.
And NIMBY kept the cheap ones out of neighborhoods. So it has come to nothing.
Tek assumed that when I said “outlanders” I had any racial aspects in mind.
Actually there is a large local demographic of PoC.
A depopulation program does not have to be dramatic: reduce fertility, shorten lifespans by degrees.

Thoughts of Jaquces Attali
(founder and President of the European Bank of Reconstruction & Development)
on the proper disposal of surplus humans:
“The future will be about finding a way to reduce the population. We start with the old, because as soon as they exceed 60-65 years, people live longer than they produce and that costs society dearly. Then the weak, then the useless that do not help society because there will always be more of them, and above all, ultimately, the stupid. Euthanasia targeting these groups; Euthanasia will have to be an essential tool in our future societies, in all cases. Of course, we will not be able to execute people or build camps. We get rid of them by making them believe that it is for their own good.
Overpopulation, and mostly useless (sic), is something that is too costly economically. Socially, too, it is much better when the human machine comes to an abrupt standstill than when it gradually deteriorates. Neither will we be able to test millions upon millions of people for their intelligence, you bet that!
We will find or cause something a pandemic targeting certain people, a real economic crisis or not, a virus affecting the old or the fat, it doesn’t matter, the weak will succumb to it, the fearful and stupid will believe in it and seek treatment.
We will have made sure that treatment is in place, treatment that will be the solution. The selection of idiots then takes care of itself: You go to the slaughter by yourself. ”

BTO was my first concert. Buffalo Days (Regina’s exhibition every early August) 1976.
The opening acts were The Charlie Daniels Band and Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band!
BTO was straight ahead rock n roll with a AM-friendly pop sensibility.
Randy “made it Big in the States” twice. The Guess Who and then BTO.
He stepped on a lot of toes but he made himself quite a life.
You know this is idol worship.
I do not think your God would approve.
These people are simple humans, propelled to stardom by luciferians with whom they made a deal. Surely you know that!
But I’m just a non-religious person, trying to figure out why people are not consistent in what they preach.
I read Randy Bachmans tale. He was broke and down on his luck. On a park bench. A banker recognized him and saved him.
There you go: The luciferians got him and he made a Faustian bargain. That’s how one gets famous.
stephanie kelton and the MMT proponents don’t advocate for flooding the economy with dollars,that would be stupid.Japans central bank has been buying it’s own governments bonds for decades at extremely low interest rates which are set by their own treasury/central bank and the economy has’nt exploded in Zimbabwe style inflation.When are conservatives going to learn that close to full employment,a very good retirement system for people aged 62/63 if they choose to retire and a decent medicare/medicaid sytem might be election winners.I believe trump won in 2016 in large part on economic nationalism and the fact that he promised not to cut those programs.It is simply a fact that if there is political will bond vigilantes can be sidelined by a govternment willing to do so.The feds actually can buy and retire their own debt if they want to.What they want to spen it on is another matter.
When are conservatives going to learn that close to full employment, a very good retirement system for people aged 62/63 if they choose to retire and a decent medicare/medicaid system might be election winners.
I agree entirely. but the conservative right has such ideological blinders on that they cannot see it. They win elections through gerrymanders and voter suppression – not via popular policies.
And their masters and donors simply refuse to allow any reworking of the pie. A redistribution of wealth by just 5% – and they all scream “Communism!”. Spending on working people is criminal.
And conservative politicians are craven enough to do their bidding.
Moscow Mitch McConnell came out this week and said that it is appropriate to give trillions of taxpayer dollars to the wealthy and corporations through the Trump tax cuts, but it is inappropriate to create jobs to deal with the climate crisis, help people with child care, or providing funding for the care of our seniors and citizens with serious health issues.

An open-mindedness is a rare thing these days. God bless you and your journey as you seek The Truth.
Is John Kerry, Climate Czar and Boston Brahmin, besties with Joe Manchin, D, who grew up in a hardscrabble coal mining town in West Virginia?
The Climate Czar, calling Joe Manchin, inviting him up to the Vineyard for the weekend:
“Joe, come on up to the Vineyard for a weekend on my motoryacht. I’ll send my Gulfstream down to DC to pick you up. Obama, Blinken, Janet Yellin and other neighbors are coming over for chardonnay and Kobe beef; we’ll be discussing Climate Change, and the end of coal.”
“Gee, I don’t know, John. Short notice. Will the chardonnay be crisp?”
“Extra crispy! Like our souls!”
“Bwah ha ha ha ha!”
Lol!
LOL!
Maybe Manchin is being offered a Mansion as Bernie was offered (and accepted) a nice Lake House.
A $20 million cottage is a small price to pay, if it can get the turncoat coal-boy to vote loyally with his Party, and stop regurgitating all the “bipartisanship” fairy dust.
The Republicans are utterly ruthless – they don’t give a fig about “bipartisanship” whenever they have the slimmest of majorities.
And the Dems won’t get anything done while the filibuster remains in play. Mitch McConnell will just run out the clock until November next year.
Technics dominate this dark world, Tek. Scrabble isn’t won by spelling ability alone, but operating on the power squares. The filibuster is grotesque, but it has saved us again and again. Trump wanted to get rid of it too. Thus you are like Trump!
Ever look at the Scrabble dictionary? It’s filled with imaginary words, created by the technical needs of Scrabble. Perhaps in the New White Republic, we will use an English variant or dialect based on this book.
In Mr Smith Goes to Washington, Smith (Jimmy Stewart) collapses during a fillibsuter while reading St Paul. Can you imagine yourself ever being so noble?
Me neither.
Whatever future risks Democrats would face with no filibuster to thwart out-of-control Republicans – the risk is well worth it.
The Republicans are quite happy to use the Senate – for decades and decades – to block everything except money bills, tax cuts, and court appointments. They want nothing else to get through, because they don’t want change, let alone reform.
With the filibuster (super-majority) in place, there is little point in Democrats – or any party with a reform agenda – winning the house or the presidency. Why bother?
Thus you are like Trump! Not good logic there. Tek likes chocolate ice cream Yoho likes chocolate ice cream. Therefore Tek is like Yoho!
You eat. Hitler ate. Therefore you are another Hitler.
Or the Reducto Ad Hitlerum:
Hitler believe that 1+1=2, therefore it doesn’t.
You make this one all the time.
Oops. Narc Troll, there’s a reference to your “White Ethnostate”.

Last year you predicted Romney would be voting with the Dems. Doesn’t seem to be happening. Instead, Sen Manchin is throwing a monkey wrench into the works.
The Squad, including the Jihadi Sisters — Omar and Talib — shouldn’t have been so critical of Anthracite Joe. What, you think Senator Manchin doesn’t have feelings? He doesn’t hear what lefty Dems say about him, and the people of the state he represents, behind his back?

Bernie scored a swanky ‘Cottage’ on Lake Champlain. He claims to have raised the schwag for the place by his book sales, but how many people actually bought his book?
And how many copies can George Soros buy? Soros got a warehouse full of Bernies book, Michelle’s book, Hillary’s book, Hunter Biden’s watercolors … at some point he’ll get tired of storing the worthless sh@t and just torch it.

Cops want to get you “Into the system”, the Web. So do Doctors, Social Workers, Politicians, etc. Free people who don’t bother anyone or ask for anything? How does that help them? They want clients….

How true.
I went to my doc purely to ask her to give me a vaxx exemption. Which she sort of agreed to do, based on my medical history (vascular issues).
I get an email directing to a website where I can find the results of my visit (she took my blood pressure and weighed me!). Which I did not sign in for nor access.
Then I get a popup on my desktop from something called “Covexit.”
This didn’t come via email. So how did it find its way to my computer?
Two days later I get a call from the hospital radiation center; she has registered me for a mammogram. I said No thanks.
I am going to have to tell her NOT to include my info in anything and NOT to sign me up for anything without discussing with me first.
After I get the exemption.
Which will be very mealy-mouthed because she didn’t dare make a physician’s recommendation based on my medical history but will only write “Patient prefers . . .”
WTF.
Mammogram? Ask for manumission instead. As in: lose my records.
Robinson Crusoe saw a footprint in the sand. He immediately was overcome by romantic thoughts, imagining it was a woman’s. But as he got closer, he saw it was large – larger than his own foot. He was filled with terror. He had come to know that cannibals occasionally landed on his island to practice their craft. He thenceforth lived a more cautious and secluded life, mostly staying on his part of the island, well inland.
“What flavor ice-cream will “Joe Biden” be ordering on Halloween?”

Good news. The little boy is keeping his dick – for the time being. But he is still deep in the woods. Evidently Dad’s going public convinced the other side that going forward would be a public relations nightmare. Evil flourishes in the darkness.
Lifesite News:
A hearing was held today in the ongoing tug of war between the divorced parents of James Younger, the nine-year old Texas boy whose mom refers to him as a girl named “Luna,” but whose dad wants to protect from “gender transitioning.”
James’ father, Jeffrey Younger, spoke out about his legal battle on behalf of his son earlier this week, telling LifeSiteNews’ John-Henry Westen that he was preparing for the possibility of going to jail for disregarding a court gag order.
The specter of jail time was eliminated early in today’s proceeding. Jeffrey Younger’s expressed concern about his ex-wife’s quest for one hundred percent control over all medical decisions for his son was also alleviated.???
James’ mother, Dr. Anne Georgulas, had originally petitioned the court to grant her unilateral rights to make decisions regarding “gender-affirming” surgical procedures for James, but amended that request Friday evening, just hours before this morning’s hearing.?
Demons only have horns in video games. In real life, they have vaginas.
“This litigation has been going on for six years, ever since the divorce proceeding was filed,” said Younger’s attorney, Connor Nash.? “Mom has always been the petitioner, has always been the aggressor.”?“Not only does this constant litigation harm the kids, it harms [both] parties and the resources they can spend on their kids,” said Nash.
“So today, mom is trying to take exclusive control over the medical, dental, surgical, psychiatric, psychological, and educational decisions for the children,” explained Nash.??“Dad, for obvious reasons, wants to have a say in this,” he continued, “especially when one of the children is demonstrating some kind of gender issue.”
Nash noted that although James’ mom’s attorney opened by stating that today’s proceeding is not about the gender issue, he disagreed vehemently.
“It’s entirely about the gender issue,” declared Nash, “because that’s how the counseling argument got started.? One counselor was seeing the kid as a different gender than how the kid presents at the dad’s house, so he stopped participating in the counseling and he had a substantial and compelling reason for doing so.”
“He wanted to protect his kids,” added Nash.
At the close of the 4-hour hearing, Judge Mary Brown of the 301st Judicial District Court in Dallas, Texas, said that she continues to expect both parties to follow the “roadmap” provided in an extremely detailed 26-page order given to both parties on January 29, 2020.
…
Brown will issue her decision(s) concerning today’s hearing at a yet-to-be-disclosed future date.
Anglin: This case is a landmark case on a father’s rights regarding a woman cutting his son’s penis off.
What that implies is that the father is going to lose.
But, you know – fingers crossed.

Castration complex with a side of penis envy. Poor kid.
If I read the article correctly, starting at age 3 Mom decided her son was a daughter and wants complete control to force this issue. If the facts in this article are correct, IMO this is child abuse, pure and simple.
CJ Hopkins nails it again. This guy and I have nearly the same brain.
“Now imagine that you were an immensely powerful, globally hegemonic ideological system, and you wanted to impose your ideology on as much of the entire world as possible, but you didn’t have an ideology per se, or any actual values at all, because exchange value was your only real value, and so your mission was to erase all ideologies, and values, and truths, and belief systems, and so on, and transform everything and everyone in existence into de facto commodities that you could manipulate any way you wanted, because they had no inherent value whatsoever, because their only real value was assigned by the market.
How would you go about doing that, erasing all existing values, religious, cultural, and social values, and rendering everything a valueless commodity?
Well, you wouldn’t want to destroy reality completely, because people wouldn’t stand for that. They would freak right out. Things would get ugly. So, instead, you might want to go the other way, and generate a lot of contradictory realities, not just contradictory ideologies, but actual mutually-exclusive realities, which could not possibly simultaneously exist … which would still freak people out pretty badly.
Naturally, there would be one official reality that you would force everyone to rigidly conform to at any given moment in time, but you would change the official reality frequently, and force everyone to conform to the new one (and pretend that they’d never conformed to the old one), and then, once they had settled into that one, you would change the official reality again, until people’s brains just shut down completely, and they gave up trying to make sense of anything, and just tried to figure out what you wanted them to believe on any given day.
If you repeated that process long enough, eventually, nothing would mean anything anymore, because everything could potentially mean anything … at which point, you could basically tell people anything you wanted and they would go along with it, because what the hell difference would it make? A narcissistic billionaire ass-clown could be a Russian agent and literally Hitler. A half-assed riot could be an “insurrection.” Children could be born “systemically racist.” Men could menstruate.
But wait … it’s gets better.
You could stage an apocalyptic global pandemic that only happened in certain countries, or in certain parts of certain countries, and that more or less mirrored natural mortality, and that didn’t drastically increase historical death rates, but was nonetheless totally apocalyptic.
Perfectly healthy people could become “medical cases.” You could count anyone who died of anything as having died of your apocalyptic virus. You could tell people in no uncertain terms that medical-looking masks will not protect them from viruses, and then turn around and tell them that they will, and then, later, publicly admit you were lying in order to manipulate them, and then deny you ever said that, and tell them to wear masks.
You could experimentally “vaccinate” millions of people whose risk of becoming seriously ill or dying from your apocalyptic virus was minuscule or non-existent, and kill tens or hundreds of thousands in the process, and the people whose brains you had methodically broken would thank you for murdering their friends and neighbors, and then rush out to their local discount drugstore to experimentally “vaccinate” their own kids and post pictures of it on the Internet.
At that point, you wouldn’t really have to worry about “populist uprisings,” or “terrorism,” or any other type of insurgent activity, because the vast majority of the global population would be scramble-headed automatons who were totally incapable of independent thought, and who had no idea what was real and what wasn’t, so just repeated whatever new script you fed them like customer-service representatives on Haldol.”
That’s it, kids. That is what they are doing to you.
People haven’t played enough Scrabble. They don’t understand how ad hoc everything is. The Scrabble Dictionary is by no means a real dictionary. It’s a creation. A narrative. Game Theory.
Once you understand Game Theory, Event Horizons, and Blooper Universes, you’ll never take anything as seriously again. And you’ll be on the lookout for the Lie – the big ones that try to overturn the whole Game Board of Nature and contradict God’s Narrative written into it.
I stuck to Axis and Allies.
Scrabble was for special needs folks.
Holy Zeus, what memories, during college years, Axis and Allies was our big game, along with Cthulhu, ww3 role playing, we out grew D & D.
A&A was the only one of those I played, but those games could go on for a week. In college it was: Play for 3-4 hrs. drink. Go to a party, crash. Next night, same thing. Party, girlfriend, graffiti session at the train yard, drink, crash. Game ends a week later. Sometimes two weeks later.
Good times.
Why am I not surprised to find Avalon Hill fans hanging around this joint? I started with Battle of the Bulge, moved on to Richthofen’s War, and finally got put in my place by France 1940. I had to play both sides – rural school district (and at that age hard-core strategy gaming is a secret best kept to oneself). Planning strategy while pretending I couldn’t see the whole picture probably benefitted my cognitive development in some way I have not yet discovered…
CJ Hopkins nails it again. This guy and I have nearly the same brain.
I can see that – pompous, preposterous, yet watery mashed potatoes.
Hahaha. You are so humourous, Josie!
“Watery mashed potatoes” as brains. Pure gold, Jo!
I would first try to find out who exactly are the people in charge and then work out their ideology from (1) what they have actually said, (2) what they have done, (3) what causes they provide financial support t, (4) what policies they lobby for, (5) what foreign policy goals they appear to pursue. I would also study earlier generations of this class of person, perhaps close or distant family relations. That should give a pretty sound base for making a hypothesis.
I agree that they would try to create an alternative reality and more and more people have come to realize this. I would be doubtful, though, about their ability to recognize true reality because they must be completely deluded to behave so foolishly. (For some reason a page from that Italian book (Gomorrah I think, or Camorrah) comes to mind. The author said that these Mafia types loved to watch films glamourizing the Mafia and I think they cast themselves in that light. In other words, they were prisoners of a fantasy.)
It appears to me that they are richer beyond what can be imagined, they want to exercise their immense influence in politics, including the promotion of extreme left wing ideology in corporate life and they want to destroy civilization and make it anew. Insanity. I still have difficulty in accepting that they take this ‘transhumanist’ caper seriously. They also combine, I suspect, these delusoiins of grandeur with the pettiest vices, such as personal grudges. The treatment of Trump at their hands springs to mind. I believe they are slaves to their passions.
He makes a good point about the mixed messages, the blatant contradictions. Some argue that this is deliberate and intended to defeat the people and it is hard to disagree.
I have to say that they are thoroughly wicked and need to be stopped. Has anyone ever tried to do it? If so, what happened?
Fantastic, CJ nailed it (again).
I also feel like we share a brain. His is just way more clever than mine in expressing it.
Thanks for posting!
Gush … fawn … so sweet. You two should get a room!

I suspect the people getting sick from COVID-19 in the Fall will be the same group getting sick now, those that are not vaccinated.
Getting sick from seasonal flu, just like now. The only wild card is that you have taken a shot that has put you at risk for an anaphylactic reaction and potentially death when you encounter that normally harmless seasonal flu. Just like the ferrets in the MRNA tests.
You are in a real-time experiment. Whether you believe that or not is inconsequential. Good luck.
You should look carefully at the way the stats are packaged in these “99% of infections are now in unvaccinated” stories. They are juked. It’s not cut and dry at all. They are fiddling with the sample time period among other things.
You need to be very sceptical about how the stats are packaged by the anti-vaxxers as well.
No-one has every claimed total immunity for the vaccines – it’s all a balancing of risk.
The reality remains that at least for those over 60, it is far better to be vaccinated when you “contract” Covid-19 than to not be vaccinated – and for most people that is a good enough outcome.
I contracted polio as a teenager – but because of vaccination I had an unpleasant two weeks in a darkened room, but didn’t wind up as a cripple, or in an iron lung – others did.
There is no evidence at all that the vaccinated are going to do worse against Covid-19 (or the flu) in the future. I don’t understand where this comes from.
Darkhorse podcast with PH D degrees in evolutionary biology had Dr. Kory ICU Medical attending, and co creator of Mrna had some legitimate evidence based concerns. YEs, you are correct anti-vaxxers and those who do not believe in germ theory play these games as well.
It’s a pity that none of your cohorts in the government and mainstream media gave any thought to the ‘balance of risk’ when it came to putting experimental vaccinations into children and young, healthy adults.
Why are they “my cohorts” – I don’t think it’s necessary to vaccinate everyone either. It’s a blunt instrument – a shotgun to kill a fly. But it’s what governments do – they go for overkill, because getting the response to be “just right” carries too much political risk if it screws up.
Muppet backpedaling again.
Every time.
LOL.
If I were you, I’d load up on Vitamin D & C now, and take the highest dose possible come flu season.
Best of luck.
I’m not worried about any virus. Haven’t had the flu in 30-35 years.
Also never get the flu vaccine.
My coworkers do, and get the flu and even pneumonia every year or 2.
Same. These parallels are amazing. Almost as if the shot is not needed.
Hmmmm.
Or causes something, or weakens the immune system…
All my other non-flu-vaxxed friends report the same at their places of work.
I and a co-worker took a pass on the anti-flu jab after noting similar, ie. the ones who got it also seemed to be the ones who became ill with it.
Not making a prediction here, but I’ll continue with the 30+ years of no flu-vax winning streak.
Same here! Why would I get one when I never get the flu?
And if I do get it, I’ll feel like shit for awhile, then I’ll be fine, and my immune system will be the stronger for it.
I suspect the people getting sick from COVID-19 in the Fall will be the same group getting sick now, those that are not vaccinated.
I think you’re totally correct, but such common sense usually earns you few friends on here, and results in a volley of tinfoil from the dark web. Often topped off with ad hominem insults.
I’m hoping your inevitable meltdown this week is even more impressive than last.

We’re now at the Singularity, long predicted by the Seers. The Elite no longer pretend to believe in the Constitution or that America is good and they are its champions.

Possibly JHK might have something to say when more is known about the reasons for the collapse, but you would predict it was a whole series of cascading causes, revolving around money, lack of care, and general hubris. So a clusterfuck.
I don’t recall JHK attacking 12 floors as a poor residential solution – he’s certain taken a big bite out of suburban sprawl and mega-towers. But from my reading, medium density low-mid rise (3-15 floors) can be the most efficient, in terms of energy use, and the provision of services and amenity in the neighborhood.
Paris isn’t my favourite city, but there is something very charming and human scale about lots of its precincts, with many fairly uniform (and quality) apartment buildings of around 4-6 floors.
In respect of the NYT graphic of buildings from the 70s and 80s, this is occurring all around the US, and I expect anywhere in the world with an apartment boom from the 1960s onwards.
Many such buildings are either reaching the end of their economic life (if not suffering structural failure), but can you get the 100-200 owners to stump up the $10 million for renovations and repairs?
And if not, can you get 100-200 owners to agree to sell – so they get a slice of the land value because it will be demolished? Lots of boomer owners want to stay, as it will be their last home. There are some difficult times ahead – not just for Miami Beach.
I heard Republicans brought down the Miami high-rise. No wait, I heard that from you.
LOL.
There will be de-regulation, corruption, cover-ups, nepotism, tax dodges, and global-warming-denial in the mix … can’t get more red-blooded GOP than that 🙂
Perhaps the collapse was the initiation of the Alien Attack you were talking about when you posted your MSNBC and CNN articles.
LOL.
yeah isn~t the economy just great now tepoo? your beloved working folks getting killed at the pump, losing jobs by the millions, 50,000 pipeline workers slashed in a single day
you~re stinking myopic on so many fronts
what~s laughable is you think the donkeys actually care about you
https://newbostonpost.com/2016/10/19/john-kerrys-daughter-received-9-million-in-govt-contracts/
your donkey party voted 80% against the civil rights act
and has destroyed black communities with welfare
but conservatives are racist
HAHAHAHAHA
Global warming was involved? Maybe it was too many white people line dancing, stumpin’ their feet in unison as they are known to do.
Republicans = evil
Democrats = good
Imagine believing this.
6 year old level thinking.
Well, over 90 people shot in Chi so far this 4th of July weekend, with 7 1/2 hours to go. 100 is almost a certainty.
BLACK LIVE MATTER!
The high number of shootings in Chicago, which I assume are largely the result of turf battles among illegal drug-selling gangs, suggest the illegal drug business is currently more profitable than ever. The deliberately open southern border must be keeping the inventory of illegal drugs everywhere higher than ever. The lack of support for law enforcement in many cities also suggests that “the Big Guy” (Biden) and his family and friends are getting their share of the profits.
And are we finally leaving Afghanistan because fentanyl has rendered heroin obsolete and unnecessary?
Candace Owens has stated that those in charge who urge the defunding of the police in U.S. cities seek to cause residents under crime siege to demand the formation of a federal police force. I.e., give the feds full control over all state and local police. Further reduce what local resistance there would be to full federal tyranny. She’s brilliant and probably right on this point.
The deliberately open southern border must be keeping the inventory of illegal drugs everywhere higher than ever.
If the supply is greater than ever, shouldn’t the price go down?
No!
The cartels set the supply and therefore the price. In the US, the demand is for all intents, infinite.
In this country, soon, there will be traders in the illicit trades and gimme welfare types, with a few legitimate folks in between.
Who is going to stop the Elite PTB from transforming this poor excuse for a country?
No wonder the drug trade is so good, it is the only thing the gimmes have to do.
Wow! Just think about those PTB. Feed the masses with UBI, they buy drugs, the money goes into the pockets of the PTB.
What a country!
Nancy Pelosi’s father was a lifelong politician in league with the mafia. She knows how things work.
Not to mention the child trafficking, which is also hugely profitable.
Did we ever find out which ad agency came up with that?
Friend invited me to have a lunch.
While siting outside waiting we watched a 30 something black lady with purple hair run into the back a pasty faced middle aged white guy.
Hilarity ensued when the white guy called the police with no injury and only scratches on their bumpers.
Forty five minutes later no cop and the black lady was screaming at anyone who would listen about this was the last fourth of July for us evil white Americans.
Needless to say she went down the well of angry black woman because white people are just evil and all sorts of profanity and ridiculous nonsense was spewing out of her mouth.
I looked at my friend and asked why this lady was allowed to breed.
Her poor daughter looked so embarrassed at her mothers ridiculous behavior.
The PoPo never showed and they went their separate ways.
At least gunfire didn’t break out.
CRT gives them license to think and talk such garbage.
Excellent post again today Mr. K. I’m of two minds these days about the CV19/Vaxx hoax. Not quite sure whether it’s the vaxxed that will be paying the price this fall for their stupidity, or whether the vaxx was a genuine preventative for the next iteration of bio-warfare the globalists are about to unleash upon us, thus reinforcing to the remainder of the herd the importance of doing what they’re told and towing the line to big pharma. I suppose it could go either way. But either way, I’m not taking the poison prick, and that’s that. If I die of “natural causes” due to lack of immunity to the globalists’ latest bio-warfare population control measure, then I’m just fine with that. No one lives forever and I, for one, certainly don’t want to in a world like that.
True, Disaffected (or should it be DisInfected?). I find it as hard to believe that millions of the vaxxed will die as I do to believe that China flu has or will kill millions. We just don’t know.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-05/israel-sees-decline-in-pfizer-vaccine-efficacy-rate-ynet-says
Rather than disparage one or two aspects of the every deepening complexity, it’s best to throw the whole thing out. Who says there is a variant? Or that Covid exists either? Or if there is or was, that Pfizer offered a 95% immunity? Let them prove any of it.
What we do know is the vaccine is deadly. That in a healthy civilization, it would already be off the market. But they have no intention of doing so. So from that we can infer that they don’t care about human life – which means nothing they say is to be believed and nothing they prescribe should be taken.
That the injection might actually be protective of a new, potentially deadlier bioweapon is, of course, a possibility. But the many injuries and deaths (so far) from this media-hyped, zero-liability, experimental injection would strongly suggest the opposite.

7. Rinse and repeat ad nauseam
Reality – there are no results from the Arizona exercise, even after shipping stuff to the CEO’s log cabin in Montana. Perhaps the Arizona Senate isn’t going to get the “report” that they thought was in the bank.
And who will accept or believe their “report” anyway – without independent corroboration?
Deep thinking of Agent Po:
1. Believe everything the tabloid Media Matters posts
2. Believes everyone who disagrees with the liberal media is a Russian Agent

At least admit it.
Only morons don’t understand parties are a hydra with 2 heads.
10. Believes that always talking about where she has traveled makes her culturally superior and is proud of it.
It’s not about cultural superiority at all – travel is a passion and I like chatting about it – especially in these Covid-ravaged times when we can’t do it.
If someone mentions a place I’ve been to, I like mentioning it. I wish others would do it more too. What harm is there to sharing such indulgences?
I guess if you’ve spent your entire life within New Jersey, then talk of travel might be a bit of a pisser. I actually met a 40-something woman in a hostel near Yosemite NP – she came from LA, and was scoping the place for a big excursion for her special-ed school kids.
She had never been as far as Yosemite NP, and never out of California. I found it extraordinary, but maybe it’s not that uncommon. I dunno.
Over here, us expats call them country counters. The folks who stop in an airport or spend a day or two somewhere and fancy themselves special.

I need to remind you – and I assume you support the US Constitution – that the 50 states (plus DC and territories) are responsible for conducting their own elections, and by proxy, federal elections.
And 49 states certified their elections by the safe-harbor date of December 8, with Wisconsin only one day late because of a delayed legal procedure. And almost all the swing states that decided the election had Republican election officials.
I have never stated that the 2020 federal elections were completely fair and above board, but my view doesn’t matter. In not one of 60 cases before 84 different judges and justices (mostly Republican-appointed) was there a determination that there was election fraud.
Are they all working for Joe Biden? All working for Klaus Schwab and the WEF? Please … the onus is on the election-steal believers to make their case – and they have overwhelmingly failed to get to first base.
Not my fault – I am a mere humble impartial observer and commentator, and a sceptic of conspiracies. I’m no fan of the Democrats either – they’re just another conservative mainstream party in a generally very unpleasant political system that no-one seems to have the will to improve.
Any half-bright non-partisan person could come up with 50 ways to improve the system. The burger-flippers at McDonald’s could do it. But entrenched forces on both sides resist any reforms.
“I’m no fan of the Democrats either”
Is this David Brock’s new tactic since the old one wasn’t working?
LMAO, Media Matters Muppet.
I saw something this morning while buying gasoline, perhaps connected to the spirit of this holiday in an off-beat way..
A nice family in a new expensive SUV piled out of their vehicle into the convenience store, leaving the keys and one small dog behind. When they returned they discovered their dog had jumped on the button locking all the doors.
They tried all manner of coaxing and pleading to get Fluffy to jump on the right button to unlock the door. Alas to no avail. The little Shit-tzu acted disdainfully unsympathetic to the distress it was causing.
Then other people came to help. Everyone had a theory. One guy thought if he held up his dog to the car window, Fluffy would jump around and accidentally hit the right button. Another brought a menacing collection of tools to break into the vehicle.
I thought it a touching example of American cooperation and unity in a crisis. No one asked about ideology or voting history. It was an inspirational moment as 15 Caucasians were trying to outsmart one little Canine-American. I drove away. For all I know, they’re still trying.
Hmuller, lmao off at your story. Can just imagine the scene. 🙂
hmuller,
What? You are a lawyer. You should have left your card with the victims! They have actionable issues with the little mutt. Mutts gotta pay.
Mental anguish, at least
Dogs are generally indigent. They could sue the dog’s owners. But that would be them.
E-field: No lawyer with a pulse would sue Fluffy. No assets. Obviously, by American judicial reasoning, the gas station’s negligence was in evidence by there being inadequate signage reminding customers not to leave their keys in the car with a pet. In addition, the associated oil company would have vicarious liability for granting a franchise to someone prone to such negligence.
And why not throw in the car manufacturer for the obvious design flaw that would allow such a thing to happen? Include the dealership who sold the car to the plaintiff.
Now this might be a stretch, but you might also include the bank or finance company that loaned the money to the purchaser to buy the defective vehicle. Knowingly profiting from encouraging a purchase of a dangerous product. What an Outrage, ladies and gentlemen. (Sorry for the antiquated language; not up on this week’s acceptable identifiers.)
Think like a lawyer.
“Think like a lawyer.”
UR,
It is that permitted, considering that my parents were married at the time of my birth?
All your suggestions have merit, but why not sanction the dog groomer for failing to adequately trim Fluffy’s nails, thus providing wherewithal for the outrage to occur?
Hilarious!
While biking today, I saw a woman who appeared to be struggling a bit with a dog and her phone. Pulled over, she had snagged a lost dog (who was very sweet) and she herself had a hyper golden. So I helped her by giving the dogs cookies and having them sit while she tried to call the name on the tag. She had just been a tad overwhelmed. I love doing this kinda stuff. I would have had fun with that situation you describe.
Apparently, AAA can unlock cars? I actually locked myself out of my car 2 weeks ago – my keys were in the same hand as what I bought in the store and I tossed ’em in the trunk and shut it. DAMMIT. Thankfully all I had to do was call a friend to give me a ride home to get the extra key.
I thought it a touching example of American cooperation and unity in a crisis.
Was there also a light touch of American insanity – leaving the car keys on the seat with Fluffy jumping around? Perhaps they had a corn-syrup crisis on board, and had to get into the store real quick!
How many of that huge milling mob were vaccinated, hmuller?
All were unmasked. Our round governor with no neck finally released us from face diapers a month ago.
Nobody asked about vaccinations. In fact I’ve never heard anyone ask about those. Is it a constant topic of inquiry where you live?
“American cooperation”
What would have happen if the event was in Paris, Amsterdam, Vienna,,,before moving to other continents?
Love the story though. Curious how it ended.
What would have happen if the event was in Paris, Amsterdam, Vienna … before moving to other continents?
I don’t think Mr Muller was implying that community co-operation is absent elsewhere, or even that Americans are exceptional in this regard. He just happened to be in America … well maybe he thinks Americans have a special pre-disposition to co-operate and be helpful.
If he said that the trees in America have nice green leaves, he doesn’t mean the trees of Botswana are not nice. At least not necessarily.

Well ladies and germs;
I am outraged. The Chicago SunTimes, has reported that 92 people were shot over the 4th of July weekend, with 16 killed….and six kids were among them.
It is about time that someone told the simple truth regarding the Chicago Violence…Tell the truth, and call a spade a spade…throw the underwear on the wall, and see what sticks…
It was the fault of that fucking Donald Trump. His overt racism and jingoistic rhetoric has made the blacks in the city mad with rage and lusting for blood (black blood, as it turns out). There are “whiteys” who will tell you that it is just a “black thing”…that the blacks are uncivilized, unable to behave in polite society. True, the vast majority of the shooters, and victims were black. BUT NOT ALL! There were two cops shot…call them blue.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2021/7/3/22561910/chicago-weekend-shootings-july-2-5-homicide-gun-violence
Chicago mayor Lauri (rocket) Lightfoot abides. Trump should be taken out, shot, hanged by the neck until dead, and then given life in prison without parole. Racist bastard that he is.
The blood of hundreds… no thousands, of blacks are on his hands…maybe tens of thousands…six million even….
Lightfoot likes to talk about the ‘downward trend’ of murders… lol.
2 large groups of Joggers shut down the loop last nite, blocking traffic, fighting, vandalizing police cars, shooting roman candles at cops, even doing a little looting. Needless to say stores and shops shut down early. But who gives a sh@t about racist business people? Dey all be rich anyway.
U penn has the Perelman school of medicine, where scientist drew weisman developed the mrna technology used in the new covid vaccines.

Then MAX FACTOR. via Junk bonds?
Glenn Greenwald does the real journalism work (sorry Tekapo, your beloved MSM lies lies lies):
The Media Lied Repeatedly About Officer Brian Sicknick’s Death. And They Just Got Caught.
“Just as with the Russia Bounty debacle, they will never acknowledge what they did. Their audience wants to be lied to for partisan gain and emotional pleasure.
It was crucial for liberal sectors of the media to invent and disseminate a harrowing lie about how Officer Brian Sicknick died. That is because he is the only one they could claim was killed by pro-Trump protesters at the January 6 riot at the Capitol.
So The New York Times on January 8 published an emotionally gut-wrenching but complete fiction that never had any evidence — that Officer Sicknick’s skull was savagely bashed in with a fire extinguisher by a pro-Trump mob until he died — and, just like the now-discredited Russian bounty story also unveiled by that same paper, cable outlets and other media platforms repeated this lie over and over in the most emotionally manipulative way possible. Just watch a part of what they did and how:
https://youtu.be/MseLunyiSGk
As I detailed over and over when examining this story, there were so many reasons to doubt this storyline from the start. Nobody on the record claimed it happened. The autopsy found no blunt trauma to the head. Sicknick’s own family kept urging the press to stop spreading this story because he called them the night of January 6 and told them he was fine — obviously inconsistent with the media’s claim that he died by having his skull bashed in — and his own mother kept saying that she believed he died of a stroke.”
Read the whole thing here: https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-media-lied-repeatedly-about-officer
Because we are weak, stupid and gullible, and refused to stand up to these psychos, they are coming for our animals (which I predicted a year ago). They already came for the kids, and we did nothing.
It’s either this, or culling. That is what China does from time to time in order to terrorize their population into complicity.
Cats and dogs ‘should get Covid jabs after all humans to stop spread of variants’

Nice rhetoric, once we’ve been ‘dealt with’. Not ‘cured’, not ‘saved’, not ‘immune’ – DEALT WITH. Words matter.

Do you remember when you were a kid there was always a weird-looking, obtuse kid who’d always inject with a loud “So?!” whenever someone would say something of extreme social, historical, or political import?
For example: “Over 60,000 brave men died in 3 days at the Battle of Gettysburg. The end result of the US Civil War was the triumph of monopoly Capitalism and the rise of the Robber Barons as the American experiment in Freedom and Republican government died as the US morphed into an Empire, first with that Dick Head fascist Woodrow Wilson during WWI, and later with WWII, and culminating with the rise of the Fourth Branch of government, the fascist Deep State “Intelligence Branch” post WWII that nobody talks about today.”
“So?!”
This is what the world is like now. Pervasive Brain Fog….
I like those Mark Dice Youtube videos in which he asks stoned people carrying surf boards on the beach in San Diego basic questions about American history and to the embarrassment and chagrin of everyone they fail miserably.

America really should give up trying to celebrate National holidays in the context of a dumbed down population that has zero historical knowledge. It’s too embarrassing. Just a bunch of weird-looking, fat people smoking Weed, drinking beer, and eating weiners who have no idea what they’re doing….
Celebrate Memorial Day in a country that lacks any sense of History. That’s a bit like crashing some stranger’s post funeral memorial ceremony when you have no idea who the bloke was just to grab a glass of wine or a high ball and to eat the hors d’oeurves. This is what my country has become….
Do you remember “Bumpy’s” post-funeral ceremony in the movie “American Gangster”? Frank remains loyal to Bumpy and remarks: “Half the people in this room owed Bumpy money when he died. I’m gonna collect that money.”
America really should give up trying to celebrate National holidays in the context of a dumbed down population that has zero historical knowledge.
Maybe because they are dumbed-down is the reason they get holidays. Or perhaps have National NASCAR Day, or National Super Bowl Day, or National Pizza Day.
Well we’re paying for that ignorance now.

Vaccine Stats for June
Anthony Fauci on Sunday said more than 99 percent of the people who died from COVID-19 in June were not vaccinated, calling the loss of life “avoidable and preventable.”
“If you look at the number of deaths, about 99.2 percent of them are unvaccinated. About 0.8 percent are vaccinated. No vaccine is perfect. But when you talk about the avoidability of hospitalization and death, Chuck, it’s really sad and tragic that most all of these are avoidable and preventable,” Fauci told host Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
He added, “I mean, obviously there are going to be some people, because of the variability among people and their response to vaccine, that you’ll see some who are vaccinated and still get into trouble and get hospitalized and die. But the overwhelming proportion of people who get into trouble are the unvaccinated. Which is the reason why we say this is really entirely avoidable and preventable.”
Nearly 10,000 people died from COVID-19 in June in the U.S., Todd noted. (The Hill July 5)
As noted elsewhere, this raw data needs to be fleshed out, in terms of ages, and the percentage vaccinated out of all cases in June requiring hospital admission. But still – a significant stat.
Anthony Fauci on Sunday said more than 99 percent of the people who died from COVID-19 in June were not vaccinated
I call complete BS. Where’s the supporting data?
You’re so predictable (like so many of the rabble on here) – always shooting the messenger when you get information you do not like. What is with you? Do you WANT the vaccines to be a failure?? How sick is that??
Facts don’t care about your feelz.
Where’s the data?
Just asking for evidence, the kind that you regularly insist upon. Where does this data exist except in your and Fraudci’s mind? Simple question. No need to get your ponytail in a flap.
You brushed off the official report in the UK showing that the ‘Delta’ variant killed more vaccinated people than unvaccinated but you are quick to call this unsubstantiated nonsense a ‘significant stat’. Total one-sided fawning over Fraudci as usual.
I did not “brush it off” – I sked for some fleshing out of the data, and me request was reasonable. Don’t try to verbal me comrade – I’m too fucking smart for that.
I’m sure you think you are but your bias is frequent and obvious. You put your head in the sand when it suits you. And I’m not your ‘comrade’.
Boris Johnson yesterday stated that restrictions were over in England on July 19th and “we’re just going to have to live with Covid”. Yes, Boris, we are as we have had to learn to live with many other pathogens and take sensible precautions and stop politicizing every damn thing that happens in this world.
Do the vaccines work? Were they necessary? Is it all a preplanned hoax for control? And there are many other questions that can be added to that list — one of the most important, IMO, is where did it originate.
I don’t trust Fauci or that silly weeper who’s his assistant or something. It will take years to sort through all the data, half-truths, outright lies and actual evidence to figure out what really happened and the effect of vaccines. The researchers who might be able to glean the truth of this debacle may not even be born yet.
SW, what’s interesting (and wholly predictable) is that half the country is now wailing and gnashing its teeth because their mask safety blankets are going to become optional.
Never mind they that they can wear an N95 or better mask forever to ‘protect’ themselves, or inject any one of a number of ‘safe and effective’ vaccines, what they’re pissed about is that the other half of the population now can’t be pushed around.
The origins of the the virus will never be confirmed even though it’s fucking obvious to anybody with half a brain. The politicians will feign an official investigation to look like they’re ‘doing something’ and when the conclusion comes back as ‘inconclusive’ it’ll be brushed under the carpet. Everyone saves face.
It’s unfortunate that you think you’re smart, Agent Po.
She’s completely delusional.
She has blatantly stated that she will always side with incompetence over corruption and that she suffers from a fear that Believing 1 conspiracy theory leads to Believing all conspiracy theories.
Josie has a closed-mind. Conspiracies do not and can not exist in her mind. Impossible. Reality need not apply.
Don’t try to verbal me comrade – I’m too fucking smart for that.
You remind me of my ex-, Jo.
You see, most stupid people at least know that they are stupid and conduct themselves accordingly.
A stupid person who Truly Believes that they are smart can do incredibly stupid damage. TruStory
Nailed it.
It’s like dead people, they don’t know they are dead.
Same with the stupid.
With all due respect here Tekapo you still haven’t provided any evidence for Fauci’s and your claim. It’s rather rich to berate others for not doing so while failing to do so yourself…
Well, that is what he does.
I think most of us worked out long ago that Fauci is full of shit and lies regularly. Tekapo buys into it like so many others. Don’t expect an answer from him, he always goes MIA when he’s wrong.
He’s here to try to scare people into getting the vaxx.
That’s his job, it’s pretty clear now. He already admits he represents Media Matters.
LMAO, he quotes MSM and Fauxi and expects no jeering from CFNers.
Priceless.
I don’t particularly have any confidence that the Summer will be care free of “covid” but certainly welcome a potential reprieve. Tajikistan is the first nation to make the vaxx mandatory for every single citizen 18 and older. A small Muslim nation with a heavy billionaire cosmopolitan ngo fifth column presence is the petrie dish for medical tyranny. Who woulda thunk? Start small, aim big? And the tell tell signs of the vaxx inefficacy and coming trouble can be found in another vaxx testing ground,,Israel. Lotsa vaxxed folks catching and spreading covid delta strain or some such. One vaxxed high school student in Tel Aviv caught covid from a vaxxed relative and spread it to 83 fellow students. Guess the vaxx doesn’t help. Or maybe the purpose of the vaxx has nothing to do with solving/resolving covid””?
Guess the vaxx doesn’t help.
It’s difficult to draw that conclusion from the information provided. The vaccine might help considerably in preventing serious and fatal cases. It might also reduce the infectiousness of people with it, notwithstanding the school student case cited.
Israel has used mostly the Pfizer vaccine, with some Moderna … if they are not effective against the Delta Variant, such data will emerge soon enough.
In relation to the US and Dr Fauci’s statement, it would be good to know the vaccine type(s) involved, and the strain(s) causing the 10,000 fatal cases.
I’m heartened to find you in an inconclusive state on the matter. I remain inconclusive as well. I can’t help but thinking you are simply trying on new shoes. You see Tek. If the “experts” and their founts of wisdom were the Sun then you would be a very close terrestrial planet. Probably Mercury. No? Naturally, I would orbit somewhere far away in the Jovian worlds. Just because you are immersed in bright light doesn’t mean it-s always a good thing. There is a such thing as getting burned too you know. Choose your lamp wisely! Or, one will choose you.
Are you implying SSL I have Icarus Syndrome?
But yes – I am more than ready to concede that I tend to float a bit, and like to work on the presumption until proven badly wrong, that government officials and other highly paid boffins know what they are talking about, and do NOT have any hidden nefarious agenda(s).
I appreciate it is mostly a minority view on here, but nevertheless it is me. Makes me much happier you see, I am old and wise enough not to worry about stuff I can’t do anything about. And I certainly know that ranting on an Internet forum has certain therapeutic qualities, but changes nothing.
As I say – if the efficacy of Pfizer (and maybe Moderna) are shown to be dropping in Israel in the face of the Delta Variant – then that is important to know, and presumably will lead to more expensive research and trials.
It might even lead to more restrictions and even lockdowns. But it ain’t a hoax, and the vaccines are not a de-pop campaign.
“government officials and other highly paid boffins” are highly paid because they are pliable and unscrupulous enough to maintain a narrative that always has an ulterior motive and is often in opposition to truth and fact.
This is the main qualification for the job.
Thank you, Josie.
Now will you tell us how you proved that God does not exist by age 9?

HIV was a HOAX originaly from the 80s. The last nail in the coffin for HIV is this — > https://www.duesberg.com. Let’s end it here.
HIV = HOAX. COVaccinationID19 = The same thing.
HIV was a HOAX originaly from the 80s.
You seriously have to be kidding you fuck. I had friends in the 80s who died from AIDS – so please just go away – you are a demented nutcase. You can’t even spell “originally” you’re so fucking dumb.
Go read the linked information carefully sir, or express your (just a few posts back) openly-professed “ignorance is bliss” world-view quite a bit more quietly and humbly.
The issue is not whether AIDS describes horrific health conditions but whether HIV virus causes AIDS. (No, it’s a harmless, minor virus that shows up usually in weakened immune states caused by other factors. Instead, AIDS is caused by a conglomerate of other conditions most closely linked to habitual drug use, including the toxic AIDS treatments.)

You cannot be serious, Gus. Want to discuss the JFK assassination, or the Moon Landing?
See, you are completely unable to differentiate between the non-majority viewpoints that are valid and those that are far-fetched and false. You lump them together constantly, and arrogantly to boot.
Ignorance and “assuming the best” may be bliss… but they will never make you the most intellectually correct in the room. You have to choose between the easy bliss or increased intellectual correctness.

All just pompous puffery and sophistry – you’re completely avoiding the issue – the utter howler that I called you out on. Earth to Gus: AIDS IS CAUSED BY THE HIV VIRUS. It is simply not up for discussion among rational grown-ups. Next.
Don’t bother. He’s triggered by bad spelling.
Apparently mottos for “rational grownups” are
“Drink, don’t think ”
and (the very “Trump-ist”)
“Dismiss intellectual challenges without engaging, it’s easy, rewarding, and prevents adopting any erroneous ideas…because any new ideas confronted are simply thrown out without considering them…”
Sign on window: ‘we are not accepting any new ideas for consideration at this time, especially if they point to surprising or non-conventional conclusions. We will immediately discard any such submitted ideas outright and without review – in the interest of comfort and decorum. thank you.’
And in Africa, “AIDS” means something completely different, as in you’re really skinny because you didn’t have enough to eat, then you don’t have the strength to fight off one of the local diseases and you lose your appetite and have a constant fever. Not good, but not “AIDS”.
You’re correct, Gus.

The HIV virus is a real virus that jumped from the monkey population to humans. It interferes with a healthy immune system so rare cancers and infections the body easily fought off become lethal. We don’t hear much about it today b/c the at risk populations take preventive medication. You might want to check out the chapter in the book Spillover by David Quammen. He covers it extensively and it might change your mind.
LOL. Boo hoo hoo! I lost my fwends!
Same as the people who call you evil if you question the official story of 9/11 because they know someone who died in it.

Si. Exacto.
I’m inclined as well to see the situation in terms of free fall rather than floating. Gravity just is and there is no pause button. My preference is to reject gravity but my wish is not granted. In some ways I wonder if it would be ok to go a step further to assert that the shadow Obamastate has created a literal black hole from which nothing will escape? Of course it may not succeed but certainly it seems their wish is that nothing escapes their control and their narrative mind control fog. And I imagine they have friends in high places across this spinning rock who are more than happy to help. It would be amazing to have these hypothesis clearly and unequivocally disproven. But I won’t count on it and you may not wish to either.
I control you by making sure you are always confused. I make it my business to make sure you are unable to make up your mind. That you are unable to see or make a firm decision about what is is true or false.

AIDS and Covid-19 are very real, and have been very deadly. Get your hand off it, and try joining the grown-ups.
I’m already grown, Friend’oh.
More deadly than both: medical malpractice.
And that, generously, uses the definition of malpractice by the culprits!
In Canada, there technically is Legal Malpractice.
Nobody practices it though.
The Law Societies up here in the Great White North are like Fred & Barney off to The Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes.
No Canadian lawyer would ever hold another Canadian lawyer accountable for proven-beyond-shadow-of-doubt theft by extortion of an Honest man’s life’s work while no Canadian Court will hear such allegations without a Canadian bar member litigating them.

Here’s one in respect of the drought in the West:
This spring, the Colorado River Research Group, an independent team of scientists focused on the river, labelled the climate transition in the Colorado River Basin “aridification,” meaning a transformation to a drier environment.
The call for a move away from the word “drought” highlighted the importance of the specific language used to describe what’s going on in the Southwest: It could shift cultural norms around water use and help people internalize the need to rip out lawns, stop washing cars and refrain from building new diversions on already strapped rivers.
As Brad Udall, a member of the research group and a water and climate researcher at Colorado State University, puts it: “Words matter.”
Linguists have long argued over the extent to which words and language influence one’s thoughts and worldview. One commonly cited example of evidence that they do is an Indigenous Australian language that doesn’t use words for left and right.
Its speakers orient themselves by the cardinal directions — north and south, east and west — rather than the relative terms typically used in English. Research suggests that in their thoughts and interactions with others, their conceptions of space are radically different from those who speak languages with relative spatial terms.
Other studies have probed the ways linguistic differences may influence a wide range of attitudes and outcomes, including support for political policies; entrepreneurial gender gaps among countries; and environmental attitudes of tourists.
But beliefs are not behaviors. Reframing our understanding of the Southwest’s climate — thinking of it as a place experiencing aridification, a dry place getting drier, rather than a place simply waiting for the next drought to end — will have major ramifications only if it changes how people actually use water.
(High Country News – June 29)
wtf
Another example of lefties wanting to change and restrict the language, as first laid out by Orwell in ‘1984’.
You bet.
What’s the drought situation in the Australian Outback?
It’s pretty dry there too, no?
not “dry” so much per se… more a mild and harmless touch of “aridification”
You’re such a rightwing nutter that you’d even deny a drought. There’s no hope for the deplorables.
Here comes the meltdown….
the western drought will create a migration, anyone who denies the drought is a sheep…no matter their political leaning….
Surfers know weather better than a farmer…
sliver of hope is el nino slightly building, no rain next year, forget the west….the great lakes area will be great property to own….

The Trib is shocked that electing a mayor who is a a Marxist black lesbian with a hatred of Whitey, a grudge against the police, and a freakish personal appearance, didn’t transform the City of Chicago into Utopia.
Instead they have their bloody utopian and a harbinger of the end of western civilization.

You keep punching out this stuff ad nauseam, and you’re highly critical … but if you were mayor for a month what would you do to fix it?
As I understand it, one of the guiding themes of this site, other than peak energy and social disintegration, is urban planning. But how can there be any improvement in the built environment of say, the City of Chicago, if when eager urban planners show up in the Austin neighborhood of Chi, with their blue prints, maps and mechanical drawings showing a wonderful ‘Diverse Neighborhood’, walkable, with plenty of leafy trees, monorails, ‘Sustainable’ housing units, surrounded by flower gardens, when Community Members, resentful of their presence ‘In de hood, loot the EVs the Urban Planners arrived in, set them on fire, and shoot the Urban Planners full of holes?
Nobody mentions that in TED talks on our Happy Urban Future that I’ve seen, but it’s a distinct possibility, even a probability.
Brh
Not urban planning as practiced today. Urban planning as practiced 100 years ago. Small towns with sustainable, localized economies, both ag and manufacturing based. Big difference than Urban Disney.

There was another one, can’t remember if it was Twilight Zone or Outer Limits. A desperately unhappy man somehow goes back in time and meets his father – they’re about the same age – and he bares his soul to him.
Thank you.
It is funny how art and its inspiration evolve.
I started the cut-out people in order to alter The Twilight Zone footage enough to sneak under YouTube’s copyright algorithms but then it allowed me to make my own art out of their brilliant episode.
When I saw it, I was shocked at how that 1960 episode almost exactly portrayed my life over 50 years later. She even looks like my ex-.
I simply then had to make that mashup video. Like banging the goalie’s glove hand after the whistle. It had to be done.

but BLM and Chicago politicians blame police and racism.
2. The Chicago mayor is black.
3. The Superintendent of Police is black.
4. The Cook County States’ Attorney is black.
5. The Chief Judge of Cook County Circuit Courts is black.
6. The Illinois Attorney General is black.
7. The Chicago Fire Department Commissioner is black.
8. The Cook County Board President is black.

10. The Illinois Lieutenant Governor is black.
11. The Illinois Secretary of State is black.
12. The Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County is black.
13. The Cook County Clerk is black.
14. The Chicago Treasurer is black.
15. The Chicago Police Board President is black.
16 The Chicago Transit Authority President is black.
17. The CEO of Chicago Public Schools is black.
18. The Commissioner of the Department of Water Management is black.
19. 40% of the City Council belong to the Black Caucus. The pay is
$122,304 annually PLUS $122,000/YR each in expenses.
Republican head count in the City Council is zero, but it’s that “damn” President Trump who is causing all the problems. The City Council consists of 50 members and 40% of them are black…..Additionally, 46 of the 50 are democrats and 4 are independents. And there is no equality…
“And how does a financial system based on debt behave when all that is the case? I guess we’re going to find out. My guess would be a price collapse in financial instruments — abstract things represented by money — and then a collapse of money itself. ”
I live on the main line of the western railroad not owned by Warren Buffett. You can learn a lot by watching the trains. Before the plandemic, we would typically see double decked containers heading east (full) and back west (empty). Ditto coal…full east, empty west. Traffic ground to a halt during the plandemic. No trains. Now it’s a hot mess. Whereas before the plandemic, most trains had four engines in front and one bringing up the rear, now most have 1 engine. There are also trains stopped along the mainline for hours at a time. All of which points to a lack of rolling stock and traffic jams, because all this free money has pulled the next ten years production forward. We’re about to fall off of a cliff, both financially and from a consumption perspective. Most people simply have no room to store all the crap they’re buying.
It’s a mess approaching ground zero. Slowly.
That is very telling, Liz. Thank you!

“What will it take to end their reign of terror? ”
Ring fence ALL of their data centers, cut the power and deny them access to the internet. Drag them out of the C-Suites and put them on trial.
The time to do all that has past. We knew from the moment Trump was elected, the first time, that the coup was in progress. We knew from the moment Flynn was arrested that the DOJ was compromised. We’ve known for many years that the left was pushing a socialist / communist agenda. And we’ve known since Hunter Biden’s lap top became public that Joe Biden is literally a Manchurian candidate via blackmail, and that the intelligence alphabet agencies are complicit.
Every piece of hysterical criticism the left has spewed these past 6 years at the Trump administration is actually true of the Biden regime. Can anyone deny that an authoritarian and nationalistic left-wing system of government and social organization isn’t operating freely in our country? This is the definition of fascism, word-for-word from google, EXCEPT I substituted ‘left’ for ‘right.’ Big Technology and Big Government. Antifa is nothing more than a group of useful idiots. Can anyone deny that this government wasn’t ushered in by the efforts of these big tech companies and their useful idiots?
We the people did not act when the time was right. We the people instead have been pushed back on our heels, by a well coordinated, and determined effort to exploit the very morality they seek to destroy. Just the language of the left should have been enough for most to catch on to their plans. Whenever they spoke, they only spoke to their echo-chamber. Whenever they spoke of unity, they only were referring to themselves. The rest of us were never even considered, except to be eliminated.
The egregious campaign of misinformation surrounding the Covid pandemic, and world wide coordinated lockdown, and subsequent wildly, irresponsible development of the mRNA kill shot leads me to say that the rogue deep state and NOT China released that germ. Metaphorically, China caught grenade and threw it back. That’s why they ripped up the roads to the interior and allowed infected people to leave China.
Trump was actually the perfect patsy. Arrogant and confident beyond his means, this rogue release was done on his watch. Obama ended GOF research in the US to proffer plausible deniability because THAT op was in play even before the election, and would have been carried out even if Hillary won. Trump was a fly in the ointment.
Evil is busy, while we argue nonsense about virology, racism, sexual deviance and celebrity opinions.
But, really isn’t this how it’s supposed to go? Christians believe in the apocalypse and Muslims believe in the apocalypse (different chronology). By these sacred narratives, man will turn away from God, from all God’s moral prohibitions and admonishments and will eventually be destroyed by divine will.
The Bell Tolls for Thee. Buckle up.

hose who refuse to be vaccinated against Covid-19 are committing a sin they will have to repent for the rest of their lives. That’s according to the Russian Orthodox Church, whose spokesman said rejecting a jab is selfish.
Speaking to TV channel Russia 24, the head of the Russia Orthodox Church’s Department for External Church Relations, Metropolitan Hilarion, explained that his parishioners regularly repent to him for not being vaccinated. They feel guilty because they passed the virus on to someone else who eventually died, he claimed.
“They come and say, ‘How am I supposed to live with this now?’ And it’s hard for even me to say how to live with it,” he explained. “All your life, you have to make up for the sin you committed.”
“The sin is thinking about yourself instead of thinking about other people,” the metropolitan said. “We are responsible – each of us – not only for ourselves and not only for our loved ones, but also for all those who come into contact with us.”
In recent months, the Church has been more vocal about its support for the government’s vaccination program. Metropolitan Hilarion has regularly spoken on TV about the need to follow the rules and take precautions to avoid infection. In June, the cleric revealed his “positive attitude” towards the government initiative to impose compulsory vaccination on those working in the service sector.
“Of course, it is desirable to observe the principle of voluntariness in relation to vaccinations – the principle that was stated from the very beginning,” he explained. “But there is also the principle of people’s responsibility for the lives of other people.”
Metropolitan Hilarion
Yoho: Hilarious! The Church has said made a statement that this is just his personal pov and not the position of the Church. Pretty weak, guys. So what is the position of the Church?
They’re seriously infiltrated and have been since the Revolution where they split into different factions. Have no doubt: many Orthodox are standing strong against the Devil and his works.
i could never foresee how they would convince billions of decent people to take The Mark of the Beast.
Prophesy is so impossible in the windsheild and so palm-to-forehead in the rearview mirror.
exactly correct, the mark of the beast has come several times now, and the prophecy was always correct each time
the next mark of the beast will be just as accurate as the previous ones
What are you talking about, Rube?
When did man take The Mark of the Beast in history lest they be forbidden from buying and selling? We never even had the technology for such Totalitarian control before.
Smarten up.
the right hand and forehead are highly symbolic, not literal
the Mark is symbolic, not literal
how do you know you~re right and i~m wrong?
“The identity of the beast was first discovered in 1517 by Martin Luther who was a Roman Catholic Priest. He found that the beast is none other than the very Church he belonged to.”
boy does that suck when that happens
““He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
so even the rich need to get the mark?
why?
explain why the rich, who implement the Mark rollout, will themselves get the Mark?
Why the same reason that all will take his mark:
To swear their allegiance to Satan.
We all know that.

Western Civilization Has Been Destroyed by Diversity
Paul Craig Roberts
July 6, 2021
For decades liberal gentiles and jews have been lying to us that diversity within a single country is wonderful. Hiding behind this lie is an agenda to undermine every Western country by destroying its unity. The tool used was massive non-white immigration, supplemented in the United States with teaching blacks racial hatred of whites.
If you think blacks have not been taught to hate whites, watch the 13 minute video included in Fred Reed’s article and listen to blacks tell you how much they hate you (https://www.unz.com/freed/blackness-fatigue-enough-is-too-much/ ). Not all blacks, of course, but the blacks who don’t hate us are “Uncle Toms.” The blacks who do hate white people tell us about in in the Black Arena Report: https://www.blackagendareport.com/freedom-rider-terrible-origins-july-4th
Blacks learn to hate us from liberal gentiles and jews who brought America Cultural Marxism from Germany in the 1930s. Hatred of whites is institutionalized in American education—-critical race theory—-but also in entertainment such as movies, songs, and books. A new entertainment medium has emerged-—woke horror movies concerned with the rise of Trump supporters portrayed as white supremacists. In these movies white supremacists draped in the American flag wipe out black communities. https://www.rt.com/op-ed/528241-forever-purge-trump-capitol-riot/

There ya go, Yoho. We’re at the Home Run Derby and I’m serving up taters to crush.
Not bad, but I did pass you the puck cuz you had an open net. But instead of taking the shot, you just stood there, muttering something. When I got closer I heard you saying over and over, “Ashli Babbitt/Peter Rabbit.
I don’t blame you so much, but rather the wizard, Tom Clarke, who put a spell on you.
“Now holt on thar!”
– Quick-Draw McGraw
You can criticize my skating. That’s fair and well-known.
But my determination to bang the puck into their net is unquestionable. I’ve scored all sorts of goals with Big defencemen draped all over me. TruStory
I did suffer under a Real spell (2013-2020) and am not going to fall for that shit again.
I sit on the bench because Coach doesn’t play me on Penalty Kill (Race Relations). I don’t blame him – I’m a 2nd unit Power Play grinding winger who is impossible to move from in front of their net with a Good set of hands but that is all.
Well said. Your eloquence has served you well all of your life no doubt – except for that Feminist Hellhole, Ontario Family Court.
Thanks, Yoho. We shall see, actually.
My eloquence was corrupted by Jack Daniels during my Hellish trek through blatantly Misandric Ontario Family Law.
But, however, it is not over. My ex-wife and I meet a Dispute Resolution Officer (DRO) on Thursday, July 8.
If the DRO cannot have us come to terms (i.e. Thursday is a mere formality), we will go to Court and I will, therefore, regain my Subpoena Power that was purposefully squandered by my $500/hour traiterous counsel.
I have my ex-wife caught red-handed guilty in cahoots with her lawyer and my lawyers in fabricating “evidence” against me. “Evidence” that she cannot possibly provide on account of it never existed in the Real World ever. In fact, I have thrice proven these simple facts. TruStory
——-
Ontario Family Law is not used to 1 of their extortion victims having presented to 7-figure earners in boardrooms for a couple of decades. They are not used to 1 of their extortion victims thinking outside the box with 154 analysis.
They are used to intimidated mice. This time, they’ve a sober man not sacrificed by his own counsel. This time I will not sit alone in detention like a Grade 3 boy who “has Really done it this time!” while they decide my life’s work down the hall.
This time they must face The Truth as I finally have uncorrupted representation.
When I prove The Truth of what these people did to me, there will be 5 disbarments and a de-robing. Justly.

Wish me luck?
Wait a minute OG, you’re still in the middle of all that? It hasn’t been resolved yet?
O.G., sounds like your getting ready to “Release the Kraken”. I hope it works out better for ya then it did for Sidney.
“Wish me luck?”
OG,
I would wish you Devine Intervention. Luck has little place in a court room, truth of little consequence…justic? You jest us….
You have my sympathy. Seriously.
Ya, Heckler, the shmozzle continues as my dopey ex- seeks yet more money from me notwithstanding owing me “evidence” since late 2017.
St. EF, I thank you for both your Best wishes and your Honest assessment of The Truth prevailing to a Just result.
Divine intervention would indeed be a blessing. Agreed: The Truth prevailing against the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes seems unlikely without His helping hands.
Regardless, they’ll all be dead or zombies or twitchin’ on the pavement by 2025.
elysian fields nails it, or you could give it a try with California family law, then throw in man hater lawyers, kids, all sort of other hands in pie etc…..unless you earn nothing, good luck coming out with something….
God speed, sir.
Interesting.
A guy in England took his first Covid shot. A few days later he felt numb below the waist. Now is paralyzed with Guillaume Barre syndrome. The immune system goes autoimmune with its nervous system.
Interesting because it is also a side effect with the flu shot. A question on the injection form for the flu shot is if you have had Guillaume Barre.
I wonder if any autoimmune history should be a counter indication for any vaccine?
BTW, the reaction of the NHS to his reaction was a statement he needed his second shot.
Nice!
Clearly if the 1st shot only paralyzed his bottom half, a 2nd shot ought to have him Really healthy.
No, OG, he was paralyzed eventually head to toe.
Point is, who is watching the VAERs report and creating the data base on who is susceptible to side effects so they can be avoided?
Nobody I have heard or read. With millions of jabs, we should know what to watch for.
As Tucker said, the Powers That Be complain that the VAERS system inaccurate – but show no interest in creating a better one. They wish for no oversight at all.
If their “emergency” mandate were legit … closely tracking the results of their experiment would be “Job 1.”
It is not even a job at all.
Therefore, …
Bingo, O.G.
They are purposefully muddying the water.
Who follows up on a jab given at Micky D’s or Disneyland?
OMG I was joking – but I was correct?
Wow.
Itz werking!
After the second shot, the headstone reads:
“I would do it again”
LOL!
Yes, why not paralyze him above the waist, too? Get that second jab! LOL.
Poor sucker.
The Delta Variant, the unvaccinated, the two Americas, and other propaganda fabrications
by Jon Rappoport
July 5, 2021
“There is no Delta Variant.
Because there is nothing to vary FROM. In other words, as I’ve been proving for more than a year, SARS-CoV-2 doesn’t exist.
But the vaccine establishment and public health officials are pumping up the Delta hoax in order to convince more people to take the highly dangerous RNA COVID vaccines (genetic treatments).
Their narrative is a threat: in unvaccinated pockets, the Delta percolates and then breaks out, infecting many…followed by a further spread into communities of the vaccinated, where…
It can infect even those people.
Gibberish.
Every covert op starts out with a goal, an objective. Then an action-plan for achieving the goal. Then, the story that will be told to make it seem as if the unfolding actions are “responses to actual events in real time.”
The story about the Delta Variant, for example—from the beginning of the fake pandemic, tales of Variants were always part of the plan, in order to move closer to the goal of universal vaccination.
“When we see the scale of the resistance against vaccination, we’ll give them a Variant narrative, to induce more people to take the shot.”
“Right. We’ll say the Variant is more deadly and contagious than the original form of the virus.”
Another current element of propaganda: “we now have two Americas; the states with high rates of vaccination and those with low rates; this divide is intolerable; we can’t allow it.”
Why not? If millions of ignorant people insist on taking the destructive injection, and a smaller number refuse, and you have bordering states with vastly different vaccination policies and rates, then people have a choice. Live in state A or B.
But choice is not what the establishment wants. THAT’s why they whine and moan and warn about two Americas.
And fr
