Rep. Maxine Waters (D – Calif) laid it out neatly Friday night on a visit to Minneapolis, where she apparently went to stir a pot of racial hatred that was already on boil without her help, following the accidental killing of felonious bail jumper Daunte Wright (first-degree aggravated robbery, fleeing from police, and possession of a handgun without a permit): “We got to stay on the street,” Ms. Waters yelled at the mob gathered in the suburb of Brooklyn Center, “get more confrontational!” Yes, exactly what the sore-beset city needs, as it awaits this week’s verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin, about which she added: “I am very hopeful… that we will get a verdict that says guilty, guilty, guilty. If we do not, we will not go away.”

Former police officer Chauvin is charged with Murder 2, Murder 3, and Manslaughter all predicated on varying degrees of intention and recklessness in the death of George Floyd, the internationally acclaimed saint-of-oppressed-peoples who died under Mr. Chauvin’s knee in an indelible video shared ‘round the world last May. The video has the status of a religious icon, portraying, as it seems to, the vivid distillation of the black experience in America: pure, unalloyed, hateful, murderous subjugation.

The trouble is what’s not in the indelible picture: Mr. Floyd’s prodigious ingestion of the world’s hardest narcotic, fentanyl, at a level likely to cause death, plus methedrine, plus THC, on top of a 90-percent blockage of a coronary artery, and other cardiopathies, and Covid-19, all according to the official medical examiner. Also, as it happened in the instance of his arrest, Mr. Floyd was failing to follow police instructions, and acting dangerously deranged — behavior apt to lead to police restraint, under which he died, rest his soul.

So, now it will be left to the jury to sort all this out, under the threat of getting “doxed” (having their home addresses disclosed) by the Black Lives Matter org, as well as following the $27-million lawsuit settlement on the Floyd family for “wrongful death” by the Minneapolis City Council before the trial commenced — not exactly a propitious lead-in for a fair outcome. One might even view the public expressions of black opinion leaders and politicians as coercive — but then coercion is the animating spirit of liberal Wokery, the wish and the will to punish at all costs.

In any case, the fine spring weather around the country invites the young and energetic to caper angrily in the streets after a harsh winter of lockdowns. The mobs will turn out, things will burn, businesses will get looted (and destroyed), and people will get hurt. So it will be for two reasons: groups of people follow social scripts and societies give tacit permission for the acting-out of feelings — in this case, feelings of grievance that demand retribution and vengeance.

What’s actually at issue here is whether black people in America really want to join with the other ethnic groups present in the land in a national common culture — that is, a consensus about behavior, ceremonies, and manners — or would rather opt out of it, oppose it, or violently destroy what’s left of it. The key to these questions is how to explain the failure-to-thrive of a large black demographic despite the apparent victories of a long civil rights campaign, colossal expenditures of tax money for assistance, and affirmative action galore. I would explain it as the malign influence of neurotic white liberalism acting on the aforesaid black ambivalence about joining in or remaining apart from that common culture.

The upshot, for now, is that white liberalism has given black America permission to act violently and destructively, to disobey the law, to oppose officers attempting to enforce the law, and to justify the whole package of uncivil behavior on the grounds that “systemic racism” and “white supremacy” are the forces that keep black Americans from thriving. The script for all this prevails because liberalism cannot otherwise explain its own failure to uplift black America over many years of sedulous striving. They are left disappointed, ashamed, and guilty, and neurotically give themselves permission to support black hostility and hatred against white people as a form of self-punishment. The catch is that not all white people in America are neurotic liberals and they are not in favor of continuing white self-punishment.

The question at hand is how much longer this crazy script will be allowed to run. It appears that the country is about evenly split between those in favor of promoting black hostility and those disinclined to further submission. It’s up to American political leadership to decide, and for now the liberals are the party holding the levers of power — government, in essence, representing the blunt force that determines which way things go. And, at the head of this government sits the inert and tractable Joe Biden, who seems to have had it decided for him.

    Beautifully accurate column, one of your best yet. Paragraph #6 needs to be force-fed to every liberal in this country. Start with Leonard PItts, who insists on blaming everything but black people’s own self-destruction for their problems in his columns.

    • Uncle Abraham April 19, 2021 at 10:14 am #

      Barack Obama, in his role as a two term President, laid much kindling for this present bonfire, also giving matches to the “victimized” black population as he sauntered off in the distance, appearing objectively saintly, a force for truth and justice. For this, he is all the more evil and responsible for much destruction.

      “Paragraph #6 needs to be force-fed to every liberal in this country.” — tractorguy

      That won’t do any good, because paragraph #6 is as short-sighted & wrong as you can get. Quote:

      “The key to these questions is how to explain the failure-to-thrive of a large black demographic despite the apparent victories of a long civil rights campaign, colossal expenditures of tax money for assistance, and affirmative action galore. I would explain it as the malign influence of neurotic white liberalism acting on the aforesaid black ambivalence about joining in or remaining apart from that common culture.”

      If there was any evidence that blacks as a group had ever really begun to succeed & thrive in this country, then their ambivalence about joining in would have quickly melted away long ago. It’s totally understandable that you would be ambivalent if despite every advantage, you always seem to be coming in last in the marathon of life — or worse, never finishing. Worse still if you begin to notice that everyone else who looks like you is doing the same.

      Oh well, we’re just going to have to wait for brain enhancement surgery to be perfected I guess.

      • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2021 at 11:07 am #

        I am not seeing what you mean about short-sighted and wrong.

          • Tate April 19, 2021 at 12:24 pm #

            @ Beryl of Oyl

            To put it bluntly, blacks are never going to succeed at the same level & in the same proportion of their numbers as whites & east Asians without everlasting affirmative action rules.

            They resent that, especially the “successful” ones, who use their success to stoke further resentment & dissension.

        • Yohannon April 19, 2021 at 12:04 pm #

          Average Black American IQ: 85. Testing results consistent for over a hundred years. They’re not going anywhere. Jefferson and Lincoln et al wanted them sent out of America. They knew what was going to happen.

          • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2021 at 12:35 pm #

            Do people really get their IQ tested?

          • Tate April 19, 2021 at 12:55 pm #

            “Do people really get their IQ tested?”

            Not after Griggs vs. Duke Power.

          • Ishabaka April 19, 2021 at 1:02 pm #

            @Beryl – everyone who enlists in the US military gets their IQ tested – it’s called the “ASAVB” (“Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery”), and it’s an IQ test. Everyone who applies to the private sector and takes the Wonderlic Test (a covert IQ test). Likewise, the LSAT, MCAT, GMAT, and GRE are covert IQ tests).

            An interesting aside: for decades now, American medical schools have had separate admission criteria for Blacks. There is now serious consideration in academic medical circles of separate graduation criteria for Blacks.

          • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2021 at 1:33 pm #

            Ish, thanks for the info.

            Affirmative action for doctors was part of Obamacare, as where forced vaccines, and medical records online where anyone anywhere can access them, while your friends and family standing right there at your bedside can be told it’s none of their business.

            Actually, since the scamdemic, we’ve normalized the idea that the hospital can tell you that you can’t come in to be with your loved ones when they are dying.

          • Anthea April 19, 2021 at 4:44 pm #

            I have a dear old friend–conservative “country gal,” farmer-entrepreneur, pillar of the Baptist Church–who has numerous mixed grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and a brother married to a black woman with activist proclivities. My friend is very vocal in her defense of blacks.

            We’ve had a couple of mutually respectful conversations on this subject.

            I have pointed out the black IQ deficiency to her. Her position is that measures of intelligence have been proven to be culturally biased. I’d say they have proven to be without cultural bias. Blacks are the only “cultural” group in the world whose performance is severely hampered by this claimed bias–except for some pockets of indigenous peoples in South America and Australian Aborigines.

            Her reply on this: “A college professor here would be considered a total failure at performing what is considered normally expected tasks for an adult in the bush of Australia. By the same token, in the past, we have judged the intelligence of those from other cultures and races by their ability to perform Western cultural tasks. This kind of thinking in the past has led supposedly intelligent men to judge other men as less than human.”

            Her choice of a college professor is perhaps a wisely chosen referent, in that this may be the only group of people in this country in which we could feel fairly assured of finding whites who were incapable of learning to perform simple tasks (or anything else). Anyone else would be able to master these skills. I used to go fishing with a neighbor who was a certified mental deficient, and he was a great fisherman. In my defense, as a lousy fisherman, I have to say that he did little else.

            The bottom line here is that blacks “cannot perform Western cultural tasks.” The reason they don’t perform well is because they, or a very large cohort among them, CAN’T.

            I taught in all-black schools over a period of years. In a typical 11th grade class of ten kids, only two can read. (The reason there are only ten kids in the class is that the other ten never come to class.)

            But my friend did make a very telling point: That we are inclined to judge such people as “less than human.”

            My reply: “What we partly have here is a moral challenge: We can’t deny someone their human dignity just because they “can’t perform Western culture tasks.” On the other hand, we have to be honest about the reality on the ground: In many (though not all) cases, they “cannot perform Western culture tasks.” This doesn’t mean they aren’t good people or that we wish them any ill. As Mother Theresa replied, when someone asked her how she felt about gay people, “You mean the Beloved Children of God?”
            We also can’t allow Western Civilization to be devalued, or even destroyed, by pretending that there is no such thing as objective standards in objective reality, to accommodate people to whom these standards may be incomprehensible. One example of this is the claim that there are no right and wrong answers in mathematics.
            We’re going to have to find some way to preserve our love for our fellow man while also preserving our standards of excellence–in math, the sciences, art, music, religion, philosophy, law, literature, and the spoken language.
            I remember reading that Edgar Cayce was once asked what ought to be done about the “Negro problem,” and he replied, “He is thy brother.”

          • O.G. Hawkins April 19, 2021 at 7:04 pm #

            the claim that there are no right and wrong answers in mathematics.

            That is a twist on Orwell. Winston Smith need be taught that 2 + 2 is whatever the State says it is against his logic and his very sanity.

            Now we are to believe that all math students should get a check mark regardless of discernible accuracy as long they tried their Best.

          • Yohannon April 19, 2021 at 7:57 pm #

            Well said, Anthea. The answer is for them to have their own “civilization” or nation. They will naturally devalue or destroy what doesn’t interest them or what they are incapable of.

          • pranah April 20, 2021 at 1:14 am #

            @Ishabaka–re: American medical schools having separate admission criteria for blacks–I’m not surprised. When I attended medical school in the late ’70s-early ’80s, we didn’t have a textbook for our psychiatry class, only handouts. I was extremely disappointed as I’d been looking forward to the class, thinking I might go into psych. I asked the instructor (in private) why we didn’t have a book, and he said, “Because some of your classmates can’t read.” I asked if these folks were of the darker persuasion, and he said yes.

            I don’t know if the situation’s improved, but that’s a true story from the trenches of professional school. I also recall, while premed, I took a math class and overheard a couple black kids talking–during class, instead of taking notes or attending to the instructor. This one guy told the other he was pulling a C average overall and was going to go to medical school. He might very well have. These were the days, BTW, when the med school I attended would not admit a class made up of 50% women, even though qualified women were applying. A friend who knew someone on the admission committee told her that he (the committee person) wasn’t going to be responsible for admitting 50% women. My alma mater now admits about 50-50 men-women. Times do change.

      • rainmaker April 19, 2021 at 11:51 am #

        I think that the black dysfunction is caused by 2 things, mainly, fatherless welfare “families”, and the “WAR on DRUGS”.

        • Tate April 19, 2021 at 12:31 pm #

          I do agree that blacks have the ability to have functional families. And they were making progress toward that end until the Great Society intervened.

          As far as the “WAR on DRUGS”, would you object if we had a “WAR on MURDER”? Given the huge spike in homicides during 2020, maybe that’s next…

        • abbybwood April 19, 2021 at 3:44 pm #

          Watch this Black man at a bar being racially profiled by two white cops:

          https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9SxeKgow2Nk

          After they sweat him and forced him to stand and cuffed him even though he was consistently telling them they had the wrong guy, finally they look at his wallet and BOOM! He is an FBI agent.

          Funny how he kept saying, “You two are the stupidest motherfuckers I ever knew!”

          The change in their behavior when they find out who they cuffed (arrested!) especially as they hand over their cards is priceless.

          • megaculpa April 20, 2021 at 2:00 pm #

            The scariest encounter I had with police involved a very large, aggressive black cop during a traffic stop (I’d done a slow coast through a stop sign). This was in Sacramento in the early 1970’s.

        • Tate April 19, 2021 at 4:40 pm #

          @ abbybwood,

          The disrespect shown. Uses all sorts of foul language, gets handcuffed, assumes racial profiling, not having anything to do with his own confrontational gangsta style. You see where the line gets drawn, don’t you? Clearly along the racial divide. Because that’s the normal human thing to do, duh.

          This is never going to go away, we need separation of our two races to ever return to some semblance of peace & harmony. We can promote all the blacks we want to into positions of authority, it won’t matter.

          • Anthea April 19, 2021 at 4:53 pm #

            I’ve known many, many white people who were treated the same way by the police. I have been, myself–though without being cuffed.

            I was once driving a carload of teenagers–my daughters and some of their friends–to the bowling alley in a nearby town. I stopped for no reason other than driving slowly trying to find the place, and detained for two hours. Everyone was searched, as was the car. I was repeatedly accused of being drunk. (I rarely drink–almost never–and probably, at the time, had not had a drink in months and showed zero indications of being intoxicated.) When their search came up empty, the cops let us go, with a gratuitous and insulting “Get out of here!”

            One of my daughters and her teenage friends were once detained when walking through a park at night, shoved to the ground and held at gunpoint.

            This is a cop problem, not a race problem.

          • Tate April 19, 2021 at 5:15 pm #

            The two aren’t mutually exclusive, Anthea.

          • Jo-G April 19, 2021 at 8:09 pm #

            Like Anthea, I’ve been treated badly by cops- handcuffed and thrown in jail on false charges even. I was a teenager and my disrespectful behavior contributed to the cops bad behavior. I learned a lesson or two. If I was in a racial group where the community leaders were constantly blaming systemic discrimination against my group etc. I would never have learned the lessons and kept getting jailed. The community leaders like Maxine Waters as mentioned in JHK’s article are a big part of the problems. They need the problems- its how they thrive. If their fellow group members thrived they wouldn’t.

          • tully April 20, 2021 at 6:23 am #

            Some cops are power tripping assholes; many are decent people. A few months ago, a local policeman was killed in a convenience store shooting. Tributes to the man came from all quarters of the community. In his official department photo, you could see in his eyes he was a good man.

            Then there are the assholes. If one has the misfortune to encounter one of them, the only sane response is to be polite, respectful, and do what is asked. Too many blacks and white meth heads fail to do that.

            There have not been too many officer shootings here; victims have been white. Drug and booze addled people who snap and become violent.

            Where I live is majority white; 84%, with black and hispanic each at 5%. Our BLM protests last summer were daytime peaceful affairs that wrapped up in June. I have high hopes that continues, come what may. Most blacks here are working people who just want a decent life; not on board with burn loot murder at all.

          • Wizard of the Saddle April 20, 2021 at 8:23 am #

            This has been obvious to all rational observers of the inherent dysfunctionality of American civilization going all the way back to the early 19th century.

            Try to imagine the history of this country, and how much further we would have progressed with less strife and domestic discord, had the negro race never set foot on the shores of North America.

            At this point my expectation is that whites will be reduced to a minority as America fully transitions into permanent banana republic status. Then, a rising ruling class of Hispanics will deal with their inherited “negro problem” by ruthlessly suppressing and crushing it. There will be no more affirmative action when it harms guys named Gonzalez or Hernandez. Even a mass genocide of blacks by the new conquistadors could be in cards. They will not be restrained by “Hispanic Guilt” (no such animal), nor will their fellow Hispanics be publishing pap like “Hispanic Fragility.”

            The days of BLM terror will be short lived thanks to Open Borders.

            Ironic, isn’t it?

            These are the sort of outcomes typically produced by Libtard, micro-brain, emotion-fed, impulse-driven “thinking.”

        • Unperson37854 April 21, 2021 at 4:36 pm #

          I agree. I think a lot of commenters on here are falling into the ironically bigoted “progressive” mindset trap that a majority of black people are a monoculture that all think and behave the same and this is somehow a genetic or geographical-origins pre-disposition (or as a leftist might look at it, they are perpetual victims who need white-knighting).

          Either way, imo people of African American descent have as much potential as anyone else and many were making strides at achieving that potential BEFORE the civil rights movement even – you have all these AA’s being touted as trail blazers today for having high positions in business and finance or owning their own business as if it never happened before, but that WAS happening before the civil rights movement. Fast-forward to the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and even early 2000’s and they were making great strides [again-despite the ill consequences of welfare], all without the aid of the existence of BLM, activist politicians and in the face of what should’ve been even worse “systemic-racism” (which we all know is BS).

          But keep in mind, the Americans (that’s how they should think of themselves and everyone else should think of them) that just so happen to be of African decent, have been the easiest group to exploit by politicians since they were freed from slavery (easy meaning, least effort by the politicians). That’s how you end up with programs that destroy and discourage the nuclear family in black communities and encourage dependence (welfare). That’s why the architects of critical theory deliberately created critical race theory to exploit race and cause division.

          So they’re making strides, and then politicians target them for votes and set them back with welfare, and then they’re making strides again and politicians once again target them for votes at the exact same time the cumulative efforts of the long game of marxist-inspired subversion is coming to fruition and you have the perfect storm to not only set them back again, but also f everyone else with poisonous, divisive contempt for your fellow man.

          The thing is, there is a large portion of the African American community who see through the communist-inspired BS and see how they’re being exploited. Maybe even half their population. But they don’t get a voice in hollywood or on the MSM or social media. They’re not supposed to exist, but they do.

          The likes of Carol Swain, Burgess Owens, John McWhorter, Wilfred Reilly, Jason Reilly, Thomas Chatterton Williams, Coleman Hughes, Glen Loury, Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, David Harris Junior, Leonydus Johnson, Mike Nificent, Jericho Green, Young Rippa, King Face, Brandon Tatum, Kevin’s Corner, Some Black Guy, Anthony Brian Logan, The Hodge Twins, Zuby, Uncle Hotep, Candace Owens, Jason Whittlock and many, many more are just the tip of the iceberg of those ignored black voices that have a presence online and each with thousands if not tens of thousands of subscribed followers not to mention those who silently support and agree with them.

          So just remember, sanity doesn’t care about your race, the sane of any race can be your true ally against the insanity being pushed by the divisive left who’ve fallen for the critical theory con disguised as diversity, equity and inclusion and “anti-racism”.

          • Tate April 22, 2021 at 10:56 am #

            I don’t know all those people you mention, but of the ones I do know, they are all well to the right on the American Black distribution for intelligence, in the upper range of the White intelligence distribution. Both in intelligence & temperament, Blacks & Whites (& other races as well) have distinct bell-curves for various personality & intelligence attributes.

        And just how many of their issues are the result of white folk?

        How are white folk forcing them to get pregnant at age 15?

        How are while folk forcing them to drop out of high school and not get an education, thus limiting their future employment picture?

        How are white folk forcing them to shoot up their own kid’s birthday parties?

        How are white folk forcing them to shoot up their own funerals?

        How are white folk forcing them to shame their own that are successful by calling them Uncle Toms?

        How are white folk forcing them to hamstring every attempt by the police to address their crime problems by the mantra ‘Snitches Get Stitches?’

        I could go on, but I would think you would get the picture by now.

            Parasites NEVER willingly separate from the host that provides their life sustaining sustenance.

            Parasites have to be forcibly separated.

            American civilization lacks the clarity, objectivity, intestinal fortitude, and most of all, the sheer WILL to do what must obviously be done, which comes down to total and complete social and political separation.

            The problem is that separation would be messy and violent. Today’s Americans are no longer made of the stern stuff that allowed their ancestors to subdue a continent and produce the greatest nation in the history of human civilization……..and so it will perish from the Earth.

            America is in hospice. We are merely helpless witnesses to the end of civilization and the inauguration of a new Dark Age.

          • tractorguy April 20, 2021 at 10:14 am #

            Tate, I think that a lot of them could succeed, if they would just stop being their own worst enemies. Like Jim has said, refusing to become part of American society, and living by the rules of American society, is the problem, not racism. You may not like it, but when you are in Rome you are going to have to play by Rome’s rules to succeed.

          • Tate April 20, 2021 at 5:01 pm #

            Of course they could, tractorguy. But all the hand-wringing in the world won’t change their mindset one iota. The well was poisoned for too long. The chained elephant once released remains in chains.

        Let’s stick with the facts – As far as I know, both Blacks and whites communities have not gotten very far in the past 2 decades. Also, Lets not make the black community as the sole litmus test for the success or failure of the American economy. In my view, the American economy has also failed the white Middle class and white working class. This is what the terms RUST BELT, FLYOVER state, all imply. The Ameerican Economy has to get real, physical and national.

      Well shucks now they are only doing what YOU voted for, after all this started with Trump as he crawled in his bunker only popping out for a photo op. rather than calling out the military to put it down in fear of losing a few votes.

      Did they steal the election probably, but it’s not the first nor probably the last to be stolen?

      Are the boys and girls up in congress in on it again probably for they look out for their own turf and pocket and have to check with their 1% benefactors before they know which way to jump.

      It’s your fault you let the country get in the shape it’s in always voting for the party or in your mind the lessor of the two evils, so you broke it you fix it and for God’s sake quit the whining.

        In all major cities, there are rich enclaves. I’m sure that there are nice parts to Minny & burbs.

        As far as my experiences in downtown cores, Atlanta & Minneapolis are shit-holes. Dirty, dangerous, crime-ridden, keep-yer-head-up, can’t walk fast enough to get back to the hotel.

      Urban America is dominated by leftist policies that engender government largesse & dependence– Minneapolis is no different. What is specific to Minnesota is a kind of wannabe/pseudo-Scandinavian social democratic power known as the DFL (Democrat-Farmer-Labor Party), which has controlled politics here for many, many decades.

    • Wizard of the Saddle April 20, 2021 at 10:52 am #

      Indeed, Mr. Kunstler. And Minneapolis is looking shittier by the day. I feel quite badly for the poor bastards in the police force and national guard who are deployed to serve as target practice dummies for the Wokester mobs.

      As the inevitable riots occur, and are NOT put down with brutal force, as they should have been put down, expect to see yet another exodus of disgusted police officers and no doubt many residents.

      The only thing that binds middle class people to these shitholes are jobs and family. It is asking a great deal indeed, to expect the middle class citizens, most of whom carry a lot of debt and cannot afford to be jobless for a prolonged period of time, to simply up and quit their jobs, sell their homes (at a loss) and relocate to another town or state, far from family and familiar support networks. Most simply cannot do it.

      And so they are trapped, and subject to the depredations of the mob and its elite backers in the corporate and political worlds.

      The wealthy, of course, have no such issues. I recently heard about a rich fellow from NYC who came to my small town here in Alabama, and knocked on the door of a local resident who lived in a highly desirable century+ old Victorian home in one of the town’s historic districts. He told the startled homeowner that he would pay double market value for the house in CASH, but that the homeowner must sell to him immediately and move out. After verifying the Yankee city slicker’s financial bona fide she took the offer and went and moved into a beautiful house on the Tennessee River that is worth over a $1M.

      So, clearly, the rich have an escape hatch called a fat wallet.

      As for the other 99% of the citizenry, we are so totally screwed unless……hmmmm…….perhaps they wake the fuck up and stop voting for these Democrat scum city, county, and state officials.

      Of course, some do not, but are simply being outvoted in every election by multiculti’s and their brain-dead white Libtard “allies.”

      • Ron Anselmo April 20, 2021 at 10:24 pm #

        Wizard – you’re right about city, county & state officials – the importance of stopping the Blue Cancer there is often overlooked – that’s where it starts.

          Another benefit of staying on top of local politicians, is they can’t hide – no separation & anonymity like at higher political levels.

          When I see them in the grocery store, there’s no hidin’ like Biden, and they generally don’t like to see me coming – dress ’em right down, no matter how big the crowd.

          Most local politicians know me by now – for better or worse – I’m not the quiet type.

    Greetings,

    White Liberalism just so happens to live in the cities and neighborhoods where all of this violence is occurring and have, I guess, decided to decriminalize it.

    See, where I lived in California, it was not a crime to just wander into any store and shoplift $950 per day. Throwing open the borders made a mess of things and it is just easier for everyone to pay more at the store so that illegals and the homeless can just steal whatever they need.

    Where I lived in California, calling 911 because someone was smashing the windows of your car would get YOU in trouble for tying up the 911 lines. See, someone smashing your windows so as to steal any valuables in your car is NOT an emergency so you must call the non-emergency line and maybe someone will come take a report in a day or two. If you attempt to stop the person destroying your property then that does become a 911 call and you will go to jail.

    The white liberals in California just gave up and decided that it was just easier to allow people to live in the streets, do whatever drugs they wished while stealing whatever they want. The elites didn’t care because they live on private guarded streets and behind walls while the rest of us had to deal with the chaos.

    Guess what? Those same “rules” will no be applied across the country until such time that vigilantee justice takes over. Then, we’ll see continental wide genocide.

      Well said and this is in large part why I got the hell out of there.

      CA has gone into police state failure mode. Incredibly tragic.

      • NickelthroweR April 19, 2021 at 10:50 am #

        Greetings,

        I moved into flyover land two weeks before the lockdowns were enacted. I lived right on the beach in Ventura and the beach is ground zero. See, California is mostly a desert (as you know) with a tiny strip of land along the coast that has perfect weather all year long. Hell, it only even rains once or twice a year. Go inland just 10 miles and you find yourself in a desert and instead of the nice 72 degrees you have at the water’s edge, it is 95 and miserable.

        Weather like that brings illegals, homeless, sex offenders and recently released convicts because it is possible to live outdoors and not succumb to the elements like you might in Phoenix or Baltimore. That said, I found myself surrounded by the aforementioned people and it brought the quality of life down quite a bit.

        If being surrounded by people with NOTHING to lose doesn’t bother you then the prices in the stores will. Given that it isn’t a criminal offense to steal whatever you wish, those losses must be made up by having the actual law-abiding customers pay for everything that was stolen. This has been working out well so far but as people order more and more online, the ability to keep a brick & mortar market open to the public has become much more difficult. It is how “food deserts” come about because it is hard to maintain that 1-2% profit margin in the face of lawlessness.

        California is a failed White Liberal State.

          I had the nagging feeling that I should get out of CA well before the lockdown. After it? No question. I high-tailed it to Idaho last August, the soonest I could move. You couldn’t pay me to move back there. It’s turning into a massive hell hole. They closed the beach parking lots because of Covid19. So why would I live there any more? They ruined everything that was once good about CA. Yes, a perfect example of a failed liberal state.

            Ish, completely correct, and in the SF bay area, the beaches are NOT crowded, you don’t get near another person because they are so huge. SO they closed the parking lots to torture us, not because it’s ‘for our own good’.

            That was the last straw.

With all those moving to Florida from NY and Cali the next election might elect a woke liberal as governor and Florida could become the east coast Cali shithole.

          My landlord in that area told me how his neighbor had used his phone call to beg him to remove the cache of razor blades hidden under a false bottom in his bedroom closet. The landlord had done so.

          I spent a little time in Japan, and remember seeing a liquor store display – quite large – good stuff – stacked somewhat artistically – outside the store, with no one watching it – because naturally, if any Japanese person wanted a bottle, they would go inside and pay – everyone knew that.

          • Tekapo April 19, 2021 at 4:14 pm #

            Same in Italy, France, and Spain … often very attractive displays of wine and other alcohol outside or at the front of stores. It seems safe enough.

            In fact there is generally a lack of overt security measures, and very few obvious police. I concede this is in touristy and upscale areas – out in the wilder suburbs of Rome or Barcelona it might be tougher.

            The biggest hazard for tourists are pickpockets on or near public transport or crowded streets – that is really rife, and so many tourists are laughably casual about their wallet or purse..

            Here in ROK it’s like that now where you don’t really have to watch out for thieves. Some older Americans here say its like going back to 1950’s America in that respect. But, it could be like this in America. The last time I was back where I was born in a rural area of America I brought fruit at a roadside stand. The prices were marked, the scale was on the table next to the cash box. Never saw the owner. We weighed our goods, did the arithmetic, made change from the cash box and went on our way. It wasn’t just the expectation of honesty but also the expectation that you could do simple arithmetic and make change accurately. This must have been 2013 or so. I hope those roadside stands are still there next time I visit.

          • Wizard of the Saddle April 20, 2021 at 11:18 am #

I went into the city twice, once downtown among the tall buildings for a Sunday brunch meeting and another time we stopped of at some farmers market kind of place on a pier. Both stops might have been the same day but with the car trip it seemed like two different visits. I don’t recall anything disgusting as you describe. Of course the in-laws live far away and weren’t trying to show us the downside. They live out in Silicon Valley far away from SF.

            Pretty sure if there is a recall election it will part of the ballot yes or no to recall then the hundred or more candidates will have a vote and if Newsom loses recall and one candidate gets 51% of vote he/she will become governor. November 2021.

            Otherwise if Newsom is recalled the top two vote receivers will face a run-off in 2022 provided no one wins a majority.

            Obviously if Newsom wins recall he will stay on.

            I’m noticing how suddenly restaurants and schools are re-opening and everything is coming up roses here.

          • MaryV April 20, 2021 at 10:31 am #

            As soon as the recall effort got the requisite number of signatures, Newscum started opening things up.

            I’m guessing if he wins, things will slam shut again, as a new ‘variant’ will be found or somesuch.

            They can keep lying about the numbers all day long, since there is no entity really keeping track, and the CDC just fudges and uses unscientific means to measure and track and test.

          I visited the Idaho capital building in the 1990’s. State legislators were paid $8,000 per year and they had no offices or staff — just seats in the house. They met for about a month each year — in the winter because many of the legislators were farmers. I seriously considered moving there.

            So, Americans who went to school for the right kind of degrees, the STEM ones, so they could get better paying jobs, might conceivably find themselves unable to pay back the student loans they needed to get the degrees they had to have for the good paying jobs, because they are paying too much for the basics to live where those jobs are?

            I actually know a number of people who fell into that category after the most recent real estate bubble and crash, but when you mention student loan debt reform everyone starts screaming about people who took basket weaving instead of becoming a plumber.

      Nickelthrower – Yes we will see continental wide killing. No doubt about it. In legal circles there is a euphemism for this: Self Help.

      It’s what otherwise law abiding people do when the Law turns into an Ass and miscreants are allowed to rape, pillage, murder, and burn with little or no sanction while the innocent, the weak, the powerless, and the law abiding people suffer without legal recourse.

      Honestly, the handwriting is on the wall and we’ve seen this play before in shithole countries like Zimbabwe, South Africa, Venezuela, etc.

      Americans are not buying AR’s, shotguns, and pistols and ammo faster than the gun and ammo manufacturers can turn out product because 3-gun competitions have suddenly become our new national sporting pastime. Americans are arming up to DEAL WITH these scum when the time comes for people with common sense grab the national steering wheel and kick our Libtard Overlords out of the door and onto the pavement.

  6. MaryV April 19, 2021 at 10:15 am #

    Extremely well-articulated regarding the liberals’ failure with regard to raising the standards of black Americans. Got to give them an E for effort though. All those programs, all those billions of dollars, only to watch it devolve into BLM violence against our very infrastructure. So they have no choice but to support it. What a trap they set for themselves. As you say, sadly, everyone else has to suffer for it as well.

    Maxine Waters has always been a whacko, and now she seems exponentially unhinged and even dangerous. I have no hopes the wokies in the Dem party will rein her in though.

    Should ‘malign’ be ‘malignant’ here? : I would explain it as the malign influence of neurotic white liberalism acting on the aforesaid black ambivalence about joining in or remaining apart from that common culture.

    • malthuss April 19, 2021 at 10:31 am #

      This is from Takis Mag,

      One idea currently growing in popularity inside the Beltway is that perhaps the best way to implement a (*cough*) “equitable” reparations plan is to simply excuse black folks from paying taxes.

      As delineated by Dorothy Brown, a law professor at Emory, “My first choice for race-based reform would be a refundable tax credit…. Under this plan, Congress would assign a single fixed credit to all black taxpayers. A reparations credit is the final piece of closing the black-white wealth gap.” [gee, can I claim to be Black on my form?]

      Over at the Brookings Institution, senior fellow Janet Holtzblatt and research assistant Noah Zweifel—two people who, based on their names, are very likely getting those monthly Hitler checks—argue that using tax laws in the service of reparations is a jim-dandy idea, although they agree that blacks might not be satisfied with anything other than direct cash payments.

      Kvetchberg and Schlemielenbaum don’t explain exactly why they think blacks will prefer cash over tax credits, but it almost certainly has to do with the disproportionately high number of black Americans who are non-filers.

      If you don’t file, things like rebates and credits become irrelevant. As it is, leftist institutions are currently struggling to make sure that the millions of black non-filers get their Covid checks, lest those who don’t pay in suffer the ignominy of not receiving a payout.

      An interesting grammar question you pose in your last paragraph, Mary. The dictionary says you can “malign” someone or be described as “malign” or “malignant.” Oddly enough, you can’t “benign” someone, but you can be “benign” or “benignant.”

      If more people concerned themselves with grammar, there would be fewer riots in this country.

      One unfashionable and apparently possible scenario is what is known as the mass death result. i.e. Mass deaths of American black and white and brown people. Call me old-fashioned but even though I read about this scenario, I seriously doubt I, or the rest of the world, will accept it. It reminds me of the wild opening scene in the movie “Dawn of the Dead.” where a pundit in a TV news show calls for a Nuclar attack on an American city in order to kill the zombies!!

          If I remember my history correctly, when the Boers collided with the Zulus, the Zulus were migrating from the North, part of a long historic migration of the Bantu. So it could be said that both groups were relatively “new.”

          The only really “native” people were the Bushmen or San as they call themselves. They were picked upon by everyone. In recent times, the present government expelled them from their native lands. The discovery of diamonds there may have had something to do with it.

      As a nurse I used to apply Fentanyl patches every three days to patients in hospice who had intractable pain from cancer etc.

      They had built a resistance to the drug over time so they tolerated it.

      We were strictly warned to wear gloves when handling either a new or used patch because on an average person one little touch of the pad could OD you!

      How there could possibly be a drug that much stronger than Fentanyl is sick. And it becomes clear why so many OD on it who are street users.

    My favorite part of this piece is in paragraph six- that phrase “neurotic white liberalism”.

    Speaking of neurotic whites, doesn’t a prospective justice being asked about a case still under investigation, proclaiming that she and her children collapsed in grief over the alleged victim’s fate, tend to taint any future prosecution?

    Does that family get emotional hearing of every death of every random person that may or may not end up being prosecutable?

    Great column today and I was glad to see you had time to include Maxine Waters. Throwing gasoline on the fire — sometimes the fire she started — is her specialty as she has no other talents, other than self-promotion. It’s only a guess but I’ve known too many decent blacks to believe, at least on some level, they know this rioting, looting and defying the law is wrong. Wrong for the country, wrong for them and accomplishes nothing but more anger and division. But think how hard it would be for them to speak up?

        NGOs are also valuable to the Bolsheviks as an attractive support network for their field officers and foot soldiers.

        The rugged individualists opposing them have nothing to offer in this regard, and that’s a real problem, especially in terms of pulling youth away from the Bolsheviks.

    • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2021 at 10:40 am #

      SW, I keep pointing out to people that the vast majority of black Americans are not involved in this.

      If you look back to somewhere like Ferguson, for instance, they had to import most of the rioters, and bring in Al Sharpton, whose specialty is stirring up race division, he was hired by the white-owned MSM to do just that.

      As for the average negro in the street believing that police are killing blacks and not whites, I know very educated white people who have fallen for the “Trump put kids in cages” story line, and still remain convinced, so I can’t say I can blame people of the working to lower middle class just struggling like everyone else to get by, for not going out of their way to confirm or refute what they see on TV.

      • SW April 19, 2021 at 10:49 am #

        I just finished reading a book I highly recommend The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabelle Wilkerson. She follows three families who left the south during Jim Crow and how their lives turned out. They all wanted what we all want — decent living arrangements, education, safety and to be treated with dignity. In no way do I minimize what they went through to get to this level of success.

        Why so many failed and what went wrong is hard to pinpoint. How this can be addressed and, hopefully, turned around — well, no one seems to have any ideas, myself included.

        • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2021 at 11:21 am #

          What I’ve seen is the grandchildren of people who already succeeded in those measures turning around and heading the other way.

          Not in every case. certainly, but it’s still shocking to see.

          I have a lot of opinions on what went wrong, but one of the major reasons I voted for a man who I originally saw as as an insufferable showoff symbolizing everything wrong with the excesses of the 1980s is because he started offering ideas about what created these conditions that made sense to me.

          Black Americans by and large used to approve of Donald Trump if they had any opinion, moreso than whites did.

          Hence the campaign to paint him as a white supremacist icon.

          • SW April 19, 2021 at 12:15 pm #

            I never really understood where they got the white supremacist label. He was very much against Mexican immigration and said some inflammatory and egregious things (sorry, but he crossed the line plenty of times) but I never heard of any evidence of discrimination against the black community. Maybe I missed something.

            The black community has some valid grievances and there was discrimination against them strictly for skin color. This has been acknowledged and the segregation has ceased but it left some deep scars and resentments. MLK understood if there was to be real integration, we’d have to get past that and build a future — “we live together as brothers or we perish together as fools.”

            Unless some leaders of his caliber emerge in the black community and people such as Waters and Al Sharpton are disavowed, I don’t see how we’ll not perish together as fools.

          • Yohannon April 19, 2021 at 12:24 pm #

            Naw, MLK was a communist who would have loved all this. HIs pacifism was strictly tactical, a resounding success given the sentimental corruption of Whites. Now it’s time for violence since Whites are even weaker than they were.

            Yes, Trump wanted to be the new Lyndon Johnson, putting Blacks even more above Whites with his “platinum plan”. As for Whites, he almost never mentioned us. A strange kind of White Supremacism indeed.

          • SW April 19, 2021 at 1:05 pm #

            I guess we’ll not be able to agree on MLK. I don’t think he was a saint but he was instrumental in getting the Civil Rights Bill passed and segregation had to end. I don’t see how that makes him a Communist.

          • Yohannon April 19, 2021 at 1:27 pm #

            Because he was a member of the Communist Party and race mixing is a Communist agenda. Why? Because it destroys nations. Google the etymology of “nation” and tell me what you find.

          • MaryV April 21, 2021 at 12:11 pm #

            One of my black friends is a huge Trump fan. I am not, but we discussed why she liked him. She said, he’s funny, and he gets things done. She also said she liked that he wasn’t a pro-war type.

            Most people don’t know much about Trump. I’m not a fan of any politicians, really, but pretty much everything the media says about Trump is a lie.

            Lots of people considered themselves progressive for voting for Hillary Clinton. She was against gay marriage until 2012 when politically forced to change. Trump actually criticized her for it as far back as 2002!

            You can’t teach a liberal, though.

        • abbybwood April 19, 2021 at 5:59 pm #

          I did well and excelled in college because I had a home to return to (not a cold, drafty house with no mom, no dad, maybe a crack head Aunt and her current dealer?).

          I walked into a house with a strict grandma making cookies. Lots of good food on the table, big jugs of milk in the frig. I had a quiet private room to study with all the paper and pencils and pens I needed. I had my intelligent mom and dad and grandma there to ask questions. We watched shows together as a family like “Password” and “Wild Kingdom”.

          I had decent clothes and a warm, secure bed to sleep in.

          These are the reasons I excelled.

          Little ones, regardless of skin color or genetic lineage will mostly do well with secure, intelligent environments and love and laughter. Lots of love and laughter. The honey of humanity.

          I truly weep for the innocent seven year old Black girl in a MacDonalds drive-through in Chicago. She believed she would get a Happy Meal and a new toy with some chocolate milk.

          Instead she was assassinated for no reason.

          Having grandchildren the same age makes me see her and my grandkids as the same innocent, beautiful souls.

          ALL the children on Earth deserve better in 2021.

          Like the poor nine year old illegal immigrant left abandoned by the “adults” he trusted. It is heart-wrenching to hear him sobbing in the desert of Texas to the Border Control Agent, “Can you help me?!”

          It’s all SFU.

            Your early home life sounds almost identical to my own. Two parent household with a stay at home mom until my brother and I were a little older, then we had a nanny, maid during the work week for a short while. I remember the old tv shows well. I loved the old variety shows, Ed Sullivan and such. Johnny Carson late on the weekends and bedtime on Sunday night was right after Bonanza. You are right saying that all children deserve the same loving, caring home life. I fear that U.S. culture is suffering due to lots of different things and wholesale immigration from the turd world isn’t helping. The culture will devolve to the lowest common denominator. The children dying from thug gunfire and kids left to fend for themselves in the desert are not only heart breaking but also enraging, and we are importing people who would do this to their own children.

          • Ron Anselmo April 20, 2021 at 9:40 am #

            @cbeard – *Edit: “will devolve” —> “has been devolving”. There, better now.

          • SW April 20, 2021 at 10:36 am #

            Until the values return that you described, the edge of the cliff will get closer. And you don’t have to be rich to have this kind of home life but the parents do need to be mature, responsible and feel secure in their ability to provide a good home for their family.

            And turn off the TV. The shows you mentioned are no longer on the air — they’ve been replaced with violent “crime” shows, idiots competing for the love of money, and sitcoms full of sexual innuendo.

            And if Grandma is a nice person, bring her back. Multigenerational homes are good for the kids.

            It is heartbreaking to see children who in no way could take care of themselves dropped over a fence in the middle of the night and the video of that little boy crying in the desert was terrible.

          • Yohannon April 20, 2021 at 12:21 pm #

            Yup, this is why we are doomed. Their children matter as much (more to many Whites!) as our children. They have way more of them. Thus they will conquer.

        Some black scholars such as Shelby Steele and John McWhorter have been warning about this for years. Both are critical of CTR and saw the writing on the wall years ago. Of course, both are in academia so could see it creeping up.

        Heck, this year I saw black people campaigning for Trump.

        Putting all black people in the same basket is as silly as putting all white people in the same basket, bottom line.

        It’s a class issue more than a race issue, IMHO.

        • Yohannon April 19, 2021 at 12:28 pm #

          CTR? You mean CRT?

          That’s now how power works. Groups working together will triumph over individuals. Whites working together took North America from the Indians. Whites by themselves or in isolated cabins on farms often got slaughtered.

          The Elite have worked very hard to inculcate the cult of individualism among middle class Whites – something they don’t follow needless to say.

          • MaryV April 19, 2021 at 8:29 pm #

          See Richard Pryor. Probably one of the best & funniest culturally embedded black comedians of all time. Loved by blacks almost to a one, because he spoke their language and had an intimate understanding of their culture.

          If you think back, he was probably the very first victim of cancel culture – but not by blacks – he was crucified by white liberal elites, telling him that he couldn’t use the N-word or stereotype blacks.

          Perfect example of white liberal elites telling blacks what’s good for them, because they know best. Shame on the blacks for not coming to his defense, preserving their culture. They let it happen.

          Richard Pryor – one of the best comedic geniuses ever.

    It’s all well and good to stick a Black Lives Matter sign in your yard and to claim that you don’t mind hip hop music, but altogether another thing when your small business is sacked or your neighborhood burned out.

    Few enough people of any political persuasion are okay with those things that it was entirely predictable that Trump would handily win at the polls last November.

    More of the same for the next four summers will certainly assure that America’s other rotten party re-take the Oval Office, unless the voting process is so compromised that manipulation of the ballot box becomes an insuperable advantage for the Democrats.

    It has come to this.

    If the China Ascendant prophesy is true (and who knows, they have their own internal problems) we at least won’t have to deal with getting mau-maued too much longer. Asians are under no illusions about race. Not only that, but the liberal fantasy about a multicultural coalition is just that, a fantasy. The Hispanic demographic replacement has already led to all kinds of ethnic cleansing on the West Coast and in the Southwest. The ironic thing is that malevolent whitey was the only one who bent over backwards to accommodate black grievances, and now that White America is in its twilight, the black underclass has no one left to indulge or excuse their pathologies.

    • wolfbay April 19, 2021 at 11:02 am #

      About 10 years ago we visited Venice beach before it was engulfed by homeless people. We were walking by a high school with students out in the yard and one area had the Hispanic students and the black students were totally separated and all the whites must have been in private schools. I concluded that diversity is not our strength.
      Indian, Chinese and Korean immigrants are wildly successful compared to native black Americans so why not blame them.

            Diverticulitis is a strength! I’ve lived in LA all my life. Venice has always had a homeless problem but homelessness is now spreading into wealthier areas and people are getting pissed. Boohoo. Blacks and Latinos in LA have always been divided here. A new phenomenon is homeless people walking on the freeway. 3x this month I’ve seen guys traversing the center of the Hollywood Freeway or casually walking in the right slow lane parallel to traffic. Never before have I seen this. The tented homeless camps are enormous now. It feels like this city is rotting it’s very distressing.

      “Asians are under no illusions about race.” I was just in Seoul and saw signs in English advocating for diversity and cultural change. They need workers their birthrate is low. For the first time I saw and heard multiple people talking on their cell phones on the subway. It used to be very very rare behavior. Then I saw a sign in English on the platform about the rules. Instead of prohibiting specific activities they had a blanket “Don’t bother other riders” rule. In a muti-cultural context this is basically no rule at all. You can identify Americans who are new in country on the train by how the carry on loud conversations amongst themselves while everyone else is quite or only talks in whispers. Now that consensus that loud conversations are bothersome to your fellow riders will disappear as the Koreans are being asked to submit to foreign customs. Just two years ago I was in a class with one goal being to teach foreigners living in country about Korean customary behavior. It was paid for by the Korean government. They wanted foreigners to adopt to their lifestyle. Now it looks like they’re asking their citizens to adapt to living with what they’ve always considered obnoxious behaviors. The country is changing so rapidly that I might live to see Koreans accepting all America’s current social ills as “Part and Parcel of life in the 21st century.”

  16. O.G. Hawkins April 19, 2021 at 10:36 am #

    The question at hand is how much longer this crazy script will be allowed to run. It appears that the country is about evenly split between those in favor of promoting black hostility and those disinclined to further submission. It’s up to American political leadership to decide, and for now the liberals are the party holding the levers of power — government, in essence, representing the blunt force that determines which way things go.

    Ideologically, the USA is, indeed, evenly split. Ye shall reap what ye has sewn and you have sewn a 2-party system. Frick v Frack. Tweedle-Dee & Tweedle-Dum. Abbott & Costello.

      You have to hand it to the DNC.

      They are about to pack the Senate with four more Democrats from D.C. and Puerto Rico and after Joe said it was a bone-headed idea to pack the Supreme Court he has now set up a “Commission” (rubber stamp group) to add four new Justices. Even the Queen they so mourned a few months ago said changing the court would be “a terrible idea”.

      Add to this the Democrats power over our elections, especially if HR 1 passes and takes how elections are run from the states and basically federalizes them, it will be game over for Republicans. This is a coup.

      They have even baked into HR 1 making it harder for 3rd parties to qualify in national elections.

      All of this happened after Hillary and the DNC got their asses handed to them and the resulting psychotic hissy-fit the Dems and their media whores threw over the past four years have brought us to this point.

      I still don’t believe Joe Biden won the election. Just last week he made a stop somewhere and there were three people who showed up to support him. Big tech is even helping The White House throw out all the thumbs downs Biden is getting on public zoom appearances. Add to this the Big Tech censorship.

      The American people are being played, White, Black, Brown and all in between.

      My question is this: What can be done to snap Americans out of their stupor before it is too late? Maybe it is too late now.

    Until black people give up on a political party that they have been following for almost 60 years, with no measurable progress for the majority of it’s members socially and economically, they will not get anywhere. Anybody who is always preaching what the government will do and no mention of self discipline, the importance of family, thrift, and self improvement, is not anybody’s friend or ally. Not all black people buy into the Democratic party, but that is what is portrayed in the MSM. Black peoples culture is failing them, not white supremacy holding them down.

    • Yohannon April 19, 2021 at 12:33 pm #

      A people’s culture is a reflection of them. And many of the Blacks who succeed and could assimilate, refuse to do so. They simply don’t want to. They want their own thing.

      Whites don’t want to accept the Fact: It’s already decided. Blacks have chosen.

      And you can’t have more than one large culture in a given country. That like having more than one mind in a body – madness.

            thats a new one to me.

            or asking if someone has a college degree [well that doesnt matter now schools been dumbed down].

            I recall some book [tom sowells book? bell curve?] that had 8th or 9th grade quiz from like 1900.

            I couldnt answer the math or english questions.

            does anyone have a link to that quiz?

        • MaryV April 19, 2021 at 8:40 pm #

          I think this IQ stuff is bananas.

          I personally know quite a few brilliant black people.

          And, obviously, there are many of them to choose from throughout history.

          I think the nature v nurture argument comes to play here.

          If you have a lot of support in childhood, you tend to test higher in IQ.

          • MaryV April 19, 2021 at 10:39 pm #

    Note two events in the past 24 hours:

    In Chicago, 11 year old girl shot to pieces inside a car with her father at a MacDonalds drive thru. A random assassination, or a targeted hit, nobody knows. Actually it was a pretty quiet weekend in Chi, with only about 20 people shot.

    In NYC, a young black man from Bridgeport, Ct throws a container of bleach into the face of a police officer during a traffic stop, speeds away, then tosses a molotov cocktail at other cops pursuing him.

    With this kind of activity literally happening daily across the country, any kind of reconciliation between law enforcement and ‘The Community’ is impossible.

    Annd at Yale yesterday ‘Defund the Police’ a rally, by which they mean NHPD and Yale Campus Police. What a joke, New Haven being the dangerous crime pit that it is. A few black speakers shouting revolutionary slogans with their fists in the air, but also a few of the speakers were young coeds, attractive, showing a lot of skin on the warm spring day, tearfully saying how “unsafe” they felt at the sight of a campus police officer at Yale ahahahahaha ahahahaha.

    • MaryV April 19, 2021 at 11:08 am #

      The shootings have to be false flags.

      This is not a hard conclusion to come to, once you understand that our gov’t historically has no problem blowing up buildings full of children, etc.

      Psychos are in charge, and we are naught but collateral damage.

      They want to disarm us, so the shootings will continue until they can get general consensus.

      • thirdcoastlegend April 19, 2021 at 11:32 am #

        The shootings are being ramped on Obama’s orders so that they can ram through legislation canceling the Second Amendment and start openly grabbing guns via the ATF or a similar federal agency.

        • butter56 April 19, 2021 at 11:48 am #

          The problem with that is that they don’t have the manpower to disarm the public. The entire US Marine Corp would not have been able to enforce the old 55 mph speed limit. It does not take a majority of people ignoring a law to make it a failure, only a large plurality. If the ATF started by disarming and deporting MS-13, i might be more inclined to turn in my Ar-15. But they don’t have the balls to do that.

          • elysianfield April 19, 2021 at 11:56 am #

            ” But they don’t have the balls to do that.”

            I believe you are correct.

            However, our current group of controllers are so lacking in common sense they don’t realize this.

            If they get super carried away I can see them trying to invite assistance from the PLA, but I consider that possibility extremely remote.

          There is a reason for them.

      One block outside the Yale campus is dangerous, same with Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. A doctor I used to work with, his daughter was attending medical school there and said the security had to be constantly increased due to crime in the area.

      Within these high crime areas are a lot of people — black, white, new Asian immigrants — who can not escape b/c they can’t afford to move. Those are the ones I feel pity for.

      • JohnAZ April 19, 2021 at 11:28 am #

        One core of Marxism is the underclass’s feeling of entitlement to take away property from the upperclass. IOW, redistribution of the wealth is a legal issue.

        Their number one obstacle is the US Constitution which was created to protect the property rights of US citizens. The Constitution must be removed as the motivation for our culture before the Marxists can take over. The Supreme Court must be made into a rubber stamp for the Marxists, yep, on the agenda. I will protect my property from stealing by force if necessary. Yep, gun control on the agenda. There are Black elements that are trying to get the government to take property from Whites and give it to Blacks, legally.

        Do not kid yourself, this is an internationally funded attempt at destroying the US uniqueness with its Constitution, labeled Marxism.

        I call it legalized thievery.

            The identity politics are what they will use to remove sections of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. They’ve already removed the 4th and 5th Amendments using Covid19, and they are working on making ‘hate speech’ illegal, which would get rid of the right to free speech. It’s an all-out attack from many fronts.

          JohnAZ: I love it. “Legalized Thievery”

          American politics and culture are now driven by an oxymoron.

          Of course, this is nothing new. Our blacks learned how to do this by watching Robert Mugabe’s ZANU-PF thugs do it in Rhodesia…..now called Zimbabwe.

          Ask any former white Rhodesian farmer who went through the Bush War, the Great Betrayal, the Hyperinflation (twice!), and the murderous farm invasions. All of this madness was driven by two forces: (1) Black racism against Whites and (2) Pure greed and an insatiable desire to expropriate as much property from white people as possible.

          I will keep saying it until the cows come home: If you want to fully comprehend what the Wokesters of BLM have in mind for white Americans, one need only study the history of Rhodesia/Zimbabwe since 1960 to the present. It is a sordid tale and a cautionary one at that. But you have to read the memoirs and blogs of the white Rhodesians who passed through those trials. The MSM and conventional historians do nothing but LIE about what really went down in Rhodesia, and then in South Africa.

        And in NYC the punch out game is growing in popularity.

        • Wizard of the Saddle April 21, 2021 at 10:52 am #

          Abby: What is particularly interesting about the punch out game is the manifest cowardice of the practitioners. They always target people who are smaller and weaker than they are. I have yet to read a single news report or view a single video of one of these overgrown baboons sucker punching a white guy who is 6’3” and built like Arnold Schwarzenegger. It just doesn’t happen.

          Like all thugs and bullies, they pick on little old ladies, wispy young girls, frumpy middle-aged office gals, frail old men, small wimpy men, kids, etc.

          Add totally stupid gun laws to the mix that make it impossible for these targeted victims to level the playing field by engaging in concealed carry of a firearm and what you end up with is a city that is unsafe for 99% of the general public to live in.

          This is why there is a mass exodus out of NYC by all who can afford to bug out of there.

          My advice: When you move – make sure you move to a free state that defends gun rights. Like the saying goes: God created man. Samuel Colt made this equal.

      • abbybwood April 19, 2021 at 6:22 pm #

        I was living in East Haddam, CT back in 2007 and a Yale grad lawyer I knew invited me into NYC to attend some talk at The Yale Club.

        I thought I would be smart and valet my car at a swank hotel near Yale then cab it to the train.

        Around 2 am the cab dropped me in front of the swank hotel near Yale and immediately two Black thugs started sweating me while I waited for my car. Luckily the doorman came out when I screamed for help and the thugs ran off as my car came up.

        I had more luck later taking the train from Mass. down to Penn Station in 2008. Walked straight up from the train to a cab and to Carnegie Deli or wherever.

        Am in L.A. now and I hear there are homeless and drug addicts littering Penn and Carnegie Deli is closed.

      There are places in flyover land; smaller cities generally. City Data can be useful for demographic info.

      The catch is a lot of folks who have spent their lives on the coasts just don’t like the area. A four season climate with heat and humidity in summer; cold in the winter. We have tornadoes, which seem to scare the bejeebus out of folks who are quite sanguine about earthquakes. Perplexing; at least tornados give warning they are coming, earthquakes not so much. There is not as much of the spectacular natural beauty found on the west coast, although plenty of more subdued beauty.

      Smaller cities lack all the amenities of larger ones. But with so much shut down the past year, and possibly never coming back, perhaps people are less concerned about that.

    We have the immigration act of 1965 to blame for the destruction of the common culture. When we had a less diverse country we were able to accomplish a lot and compromise when we disagreed. Since then, those who have come here of their own free will have joined the descendants of former slaves in their hostility to that common culture. We, of course, were clueless to the demographic change happening slowly around us. Like the proverbial frog being slowly boiled, we went on blissfully with our lives of happy motoring. The tipping point was reached about the time of Bush the 2nd. The demographic shift and the completion of the long march through the institutions of the radical left was complete. Nothing foreseeable is going to stop that momentum. Whites are slated to become a minority in the next two decades. Even the corporate shift in attitudes reflect this. They know where their bread will be buttered in the future. Or at least they think they do. The problem is that the new majority has a poor track record of building and maintaining modern civilization.

      The very term “diversity” is in my opinion, unAmerican.

      Who said it was desirable? The coroprate media, that’s who, right about the time the gap between the 1 percent and the 99 started to widen.

    • Wizard of the Saddle April 21, 2021 at 11:02 am #

      Butter56: This is correct. Again, I refer readers here to study what happened in Rhodesia between 1980, (when Mugabe’s ZANU-PF Communist black majority took over the government and renamed the country Zimbabwe), and today.

      Over the past 41 years they have completely – and I that is no exaggeration – COMPLETELY destroyed the economy and the infrastructure of this once very well-developed, productive, and orderly country. The former “breadbasket of Africa” now exists in a state of perpetual famine, requiring annual food aid from Western countries to avoid mass starvation. Electricity and running water are almost completely absent from daily life. Roads have crumbled into moonscapes with thousands of potholes. Democracy replaced by tyranny. A stable currency replaced with Zim Dollars that the population uses as a substitute for non-obtainable toilet paper. The list of breakdowns in modern civilization there goes on and on. The place is a total wreck.

      This too will be America’s future if we do not change course radically and very soon.

  22. Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2021 at 11:02 am #

    I went to school with large numbers of black kids.
    When people look a inner city areas where a lot of blacks live, they don’t see they large numbers of people who did well, joined the middle class, and went up, up and away, just as many of my white classmates did.

    It’s more striking with blacks because it’s much easier to see.

    “What’s actually at issue here is whether black people in America really want to join with the other ethnic groups present in the land in a national common culture”

    We already did that. Why do you think we are seeing all the woke attacks, first on the NFL, the NBA, and now on MLB?

    Those things were our common culture, and males in particular, of the age that you see fighting in the streets when there is unrest, enjoyed those things in common.

    Those patriotic displays? Would it surprise anybody to learn that blacks, who joined the military in large numbers as a means of raising themselves and their families up, in many instances, are also patriotic and enjoyed the songs and flyovers and pageantry too?

    That’s just one of the more obvious areas where we were already “there” and had been for a long time.

    I have mentioned before, at Halloween, the numbers of black parents from the higher crime neighborhoods showing up at my door. Dads as well as mothers, teaching their little ones to say thank you after receiving their treats.

    If they had any problem with white people they wouldn’t be bringing their little ones to a majority white street.

    This is reality.

    What also is reality is that if you go into the black neighborhoods that are not thriving, you will find white people who joined the underclass there in a common culture.

    • JohnAZ April 19, 2021 at 11:36 am #

      The basis of Black culture, their majority, still remains behind. A real conundrum does exist here, what to do when successful Blacks escape from the cesspools. Most of them are accepted by the areas they move into. They are much better treated by their new neighbors than by the remainder of the Blacks. They are Uncle Toms or Oreos.

      Know what the Indians of Arizona called the Indians that worked with the Anglos? Tontos.

      Beryl,

      This is desperate special pleading. It’s already decided. They don’t want
      to join us. And to let individuals do so would be to court more treason in the future. Anomalies exist but their characters are not passed down to their children.

    • Wizard of the Saddle April 21, 2021 at 11:09 am #

      Beryl. I do not dispute these anecdotes. I have had similar experiences and attended a high school in the 1970’s that was 1/3 black, 1/3 Hispanic, and 1/3 white.

      But it changes nothing. The Al Sharptons, the BLM goons, the Maxine Waters of the “black community” are in charge. And in majority black congressional districts they elect socialist minded thugs who then serve for life, like African dictators.

      My estimate is that you have about 15% of blacks who might be of a mind to integrate into the mainstream (white) culture and participate in the American civilizational project with honor and integrity.

      The remaining 85% embrace the black separatist mindset and ghetto culture and are all about hating whitey, to one degree or another, and looking for opportunities to expropriate wealth from him using the power of government as a mean of forcible transfer.

      Other minorities also participate in the socialist scams to a high degree, with the possible exception of East Asians who value excellence and achievement.

      This is reality.

      They as a group are children who have never had to face real hardship to mature as a culture. The nanny state is always there to bail them out.

      Trump tried to make things more equal between the races. He was pilloried for trying to level the playing field.

      • Yohannon April 19, 2021 at 12:39 pm #

        Blacks have already been put over us. Trump wanted to give them even more things they don’t deserve.

        • Wizard of the Saddle April 21, 2021 at 11:14 am #

          Yohannon – You are correct about Trump on that score. Trump rightly concluded that neither political party intends to ever pay off the national debt and balance the budget. Both parties realize that the country is going bankrupt and that there is no going back.

          Realizing this, Trump figured that he may as well beat the Democrats at their own game by using borrowed Chinese money to bribe black voters to vote for him. It was a cynical, but logical strategy, but it didn’t work.

          Like most Yankees, Trump really does not understand black culture and the black mindset. It is all about RACE, all of the time. So there was no mass shift of black votes to Trump, though he did manage to achieve some small, incremental erosion of black votes away from the Dems, but that will not last even one election cycle.

          At this point the Free Shit Army veterans sense that they are on the brink of total victory and a Rhodesia style mass-looting of the country is within their grasp.

          They will go for all the marbles now.

    Yohannon should be dancing a Irish Jig today. When I started reading the blog, I was put off by his antipathy about the Blacks.

    No longer, the Blacks have proven him correct. They have had every opportunity, no every advantage to compete in the American system. It is their own limitations, their own culture that keep them locked up in a world of dysfunction.

    Do they have the right to isolate themselves from the American culture?

    Yes!

    Do they have the right to distort the American culture to lower it to their level, absolutely not. If they do not fit, like all sorts of predecessors throughout history, they need to seek their own level elsewhere. Using force to drive society to their level is criminal. Our culture is the Supreme law of the land, stemming from the Constitution, the Supreme law of the land.

    The real criminals here are the White liberals that give them carte Blanche, pun intended, to run amok, actually encourage it. The liberal majority have given the Blacks permission to drive for dissolution of the country.

    By the way, White Supremacy, the buzz word for the American culture based on law, has been bandied about for three generations now for the failure of the Black culture.

    Wrong!! Wrong!! The rise of Black majority governments in the cities being unable to change things in the Black community is proof positive of the fallacy. Money, affirmative action, food stamps, tolerating criminality and the drug culture, letting criminals out of jail, defunding the cops, nothing, nothing has improved the lot of the Black majorities living in the urban world. Nothing works. All the academic sociologists have not improved the Blacks self image, their ambition, their drive to improve.

    No wonder they are Marxist, they want the government to take care of them, as it always has. Children need to grow up one day.

    The answer, put them all in an environment where their handicap does not make any difference, overseas maybe. That was Jefferson’s and Lincoln’s answer. Partial success created Liberia. As that will probably not happen, two domestic solutions come to mind. First is isolation to a geographic area, maybe the South. The problem with that is a substandard state will exist on the American border. Are we ready to build another wall? Second is the only solution I think will work. Remove all forms of advantage the Blacks enjoy today which encourages their nanny state. Put them to survival level welfare, make them compete with Whites, Browns, and Asians equally. Make them join the common culture as a necessity. Make them swear allegiance to the America that provides them sustenance. And big time, cut off George Soros funding of the Democratic Party and the anarchy movements encouraging the violent criminal emerging right now.

    Solutions? Maybe? Coming any time soon? Not on your life! The future of our culture depends on it. Any more suggestions?

      Why such hate for the South. Most of us born and raised Southerners love our home. So, as for relocating them all down South. all I can say is Fuck you. Sorry, but I got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Actually, I would like to rescind that apology. Your comment wasn’t the first time I have seen it on this site, and every time I see it it makes my blood boil.

      • JohnAZ April 19, 2021 at 1:31 pm #

        I do not think it is hate for the South, but the fact that so many Blacks moved South. Is Georgia, for example, turning Blue because of the migration?

        • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2021 at 1:55 pm #

          I heard Georgia is changing, in part, because they issued tax credits to get a share of the movie business.

          The kind of people who would move there to work would be your Hollywood types, wouldn’t it?

          Then I also know of a great number of New Yorkers looking to resettle their families to an area not yet ruined by liberalism.

          The problem with that is, New Yorkers rejected the extremeism of the Northeast Liberal Elite have no idea that, to the rest of the country, they themselves are liberal. They set about trying to improve the areas they flee to, to make it a little more in line with where they came from, and they end up wrecking their new homes.

        • cbeard April 20, 2021 at 4:56 pm #

      JohnAZ: Your evolution in thinking about what to do about America’s enduring negro problem is not much different than my own. Like most, I was much more tolerant in my youth, but with age and experience and observation comes wisdom.

      One advantage I had was being raised in the South. Southern whites have no illusions about black people. We have lived cheek to jowl with them for 400+ years now. In the absence of Lincoln and Jefferson’s solution, which was to repatriate these folks back to Africa, we had to find a modus vivendi that would allow American civilization to continue to advance while preventing this cognitively challenged and bad impulse prone demographic from undoing all of our hard work. In a word, that solution was “segregation.”

      Was it a perfect solution? Hardly. But give me a choice between the Southern States in 1955 and the Southern States in 2021 and its no contest. Indeed, America in 1955 was far better than it is in 2021 and this has everything to do with the fact that the Civil Rights acts and the Immigration Act of 1965 both laid the groundwork for empowering minorities who have done nothing but erode the power and success of American civilization ever since.

      So, what to do now? Separate. The nation will have to be partitioned and it will be a difficult project not unlike what happened in India in 1947-48 as Hindus and Muslims partitioned the colony and established the separate nations of modern India and Pakistan.

      As always, history is instructive. People don’t change much over the ages, which is why the study of history is essential. It is all about NOT repeating mistakes and emulating successful examples from the past.

    Great post today!

    I live in a golf community out in the willie wags. My patio neighborhood (old folks) has about three black families. They are well heeled, well spoken and well educated. I find it interesting that these folks relocated to essentially a “White” community. They could live in one of the better black communities but chose not to. Why? Maybe they like the quiet, safety, and the fact this community is drama free. Once in awhile a car gets broken into and the drunk who drove on the golf course was severely dealt with. Otherwise this place is pretty serene.

      The thing about the better classes of blacks is that they so often have kids, grandkids, and other relatives who are not of the better class.

      You often hear this complaint in predominantly white neighborhoods that include a few families of black professionals. Your “well heeled, well spoken and well educated” blacks don’t want to be around that, as such problems would be much multiplied in an all-black community–however upper class.

      Another factor is that many successful blacks probably annoy really intelligent and capable blacks, simply because too many successful blacks “made it” in life through AA, and retain many of the cultural and intellectual deficits of their ghetto brethren.

      There is a retired black woman living in my resort community. She is intelligent, capable, well spoken, and all the rest. I cannot imagine her being comfortable in the company of even most well educated blacks.

    COMRADS!…I mean CFN’rs

    A blog site “90 Miles from Tyranny” has reported that China has a new program to ferret out dissidents;

    Targets dissidents who dispute country’s history or criticize ruling Communists.

    China’s Communist government has launched a new app that encourages citizens to report dissidents for expressing “mistaken opinions” on the Internet.

    The new platform will target anyone who criticizes the dictatorship’s ruling CCP, disputes the official version of the country’s history or engages in “misinformation.”

    The new website and app was proudly unveiled by China’s Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), with authorities calling on users to play an “active role” in helping to identify “malicious people distorting facts and confusing” others.

    “For a while now, some people with ulterior motives…have spread historically nihilistic false statements online, maliciously distorting, slandering and denying Party, national and military history in an attempt to confuse people’s thinking,” the announcement said.

    “We hope that most internet users will play an active role in supervising society…and enthusiastically report harmful information.”

    My initial thought is “You’re all fucked”…but I could be wrong….

      Beryl – what are your thoughts on the Ashli Babbitt story? I have two friends – both whose analytical abilities and opinions, I respect, but both completely at odds.

      • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2021 at 12:29 pm #

        My thoughts are that it doesn’t make sense that her husband has only been heard from twice, and has only spoken in general terms about his wife’s murder.

        It also does not make sense that the name of the person who shot her is known, but not published, as with every other shooting.

        The circumstances under which she was killed do not make sense, as why would a woman in a costume be singled out for attempting to climb through an already broken window, who would use lethal force in a crowd to do that?

        It makes no sense that the president would not call the family.

        When I hear “Ashli Babbitt’s legal team” I think “Epstein’s mother”.

        A veteran, and no one who served with her has spoken up?

        Too many very unusual circumstances for this to be what they say it is.

        As with the Mandalay Bay shootings, what we are told does not add up, but I doubt we will hear what really happened and why.

        Does Ashli Babbitt have a high school yearbook photo?

        I’m kind of rambling here.

        Having lived in the same city as the family of someone who made national headlines, I saw the zeal of local reporters to attach themselves to a major story. For some reason, this woman’s death isn’t even a major story even though it was part of the insurrection story, and we know they told a pack of lies around other deaths that day.

        If there are simple explanations to these irregularities, why haven’t we heard them?

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder April 19, 2021 at 12:39 pm #

          From the “let’s make sure this can be called an insurrection” standpoint, someone had to die that day, to make it official. Turned out there were four (or five?) more, but all “natural causes” (stress-induced heart attacks, etc) except that one.

          Whether or not the lead-up actually forced the situation, the situation was going to happen either way. They had to take someone out. They couldn’t presume the other random people would kick it. But they did…and now they are forced to sweep the likely planned shooting under the rug to avoid scrutiny.

          Just my two cents.

        • MaryV April 19, 2021 at 12:46 pm #

          Those are great questions. I have seen the scene deconstructed, and posted a video of it last week here.

          I even wonder if she’s really dead.

          The Vegas Shooting was also a false flag and did not happen as the official version claimed, and easily proven. A friend was curious and went there the next day and there were no holes in the tarp covering the fence where everyone supposedly was shot and died.

          On every level there are things that don’t add up.

          My rule of thumb is, that if they won’t report it, it’s a false flag.

    “What’s actually at issue here is whether black people in America really want to join with the other ethnic groups present in the land in a national common culture — that is, a consensus about behavior, ceremonies, and manners — or would rather opt out of it, oppose it, or violently destroy what’s left of it.”

    I am not sure about this, Jim. Help me out, will you? Are there “other ethnic groups” in the US “present in …a national common culture”? Who are they? Is it the Hispanics who voted for Trump in record numbers, but are still 2/3 in the Dems camp and the fastest growing ethnic group, so fast in fact, that many of them don’t bother learning English? Apart from AOC, I wonder where sympathies of most of them lie in the traditions of the Alamo. Or is it the Muslims from the Middle East and South East Asia who contribute to organizations like ISNA and CAIR. Wouldn’t an organization whose name promotes “American-Islamic Relations”, itself be evidence to the fact that many Muslim Americans don’t recognize a “national common culture”? From where I am sitting it looks to me that the craziness of Woke, would not last a day if there was civic society with consensus “about behaviour, ceremonies and manners”. But there isn’t and the “liberal neurosis” may simply be a way of saying “we know we’ve lost it and its our fault; so let’s see if we can bring it back by standing the world on its head.”

      It bizarre, yes, but this is what citizens in these cities consistently vote for. In Portland, Mayor Wheeler stood for reelection after his business district was literally destroyed and the murder rate spun out of control; he was handily reelected.

After all, THEY voted for the cynical rat-bastard communist Democrat politicians who deliberately engineered these actual insurrectionary acts.

        It won’t bother me in the least if every blue city in America spends the next 100 years with its Democrat voting base raping, killing, burning, and looting one another. No skin off my back.

        But if they show up at my door, well, let’s just say that they would receive a warm reception they would never forget. Out here in rural flyover country we do not have these problems because we are well armed and elect very conservative Republicans who don’t put up with such bullshit and who enforce law and order. As a result, we never have to use our privately owned firearms to stop cretins like this from doing the usual Burn-Loot-Murder program.

      Just passed in Florida, at the urging of Governor Ron “Heavy D” DeSantis – Anti-Riot Bill – small business owners can legally shoot looters, provided there is a violent disturbance within 500 feet of their businesses.

      After the first few are dropped, the “disturbances” will dissipate. I love Ron DeSantis.

          Hi Rulo, good to see you.

          On Gillum, yes, about 1% spread if I remember. Hard to process the difference & what could have been (a disaster).

          From : The You Can’t Make This Shit Up Department

          Gillum arrested in a SoBe hotel, passed out on meth, with a bunch of gay male prostitutes – just what we need in a governor.

          You, my friend are right on development. Hope all’s well down on the farm.

        Ron – Over the past year Gov. DeSantis has advanced to the top of my short-list of preferred candidates for the Republican nomination for POTUS in 2024. His WIKI resume is very impressive. Better than Ronald Reagan. Better than Trump. Pretty much better than just about every Republican of prominence I’ve watched over the past half century.

        • Ron Anselmo April 21, 2021 at 4:46 pm #

          Yep, I agree on qualifications, and lots of chatter about DeSantis in 2024, if Trump decides to sit that one out.

          Truth be told though, personally I’d rather see him stay as a multi-term strong governor in Florida. As the country heads more towards Balkanization, and we become less United, I think regional and state level governance will become more important & crucial. Personally, as far as I’m concerned, the more local the governance – the better.

          Plus, I’ve never been in love with a man before, and my crush on “Heavy D” is so strong, I fear if he leaves for DC, I’ll be heartbroken.

          Maybe President of the USSA? United Southern States of America. Has a nice ring to it.

    • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2021 at 1:28 pm #

      I would like to see President Trumpstand up and do more than criticize the characters who flimflammed him whith the virus response.

      He should apologize for ever going against our Constitution and civil liberties and human rights over a disease.

      He needs to come out and plainly state that masks and lockdowns and restrictions do not work, and that he never should have advocated for them.

      Florida’s governor recently went even farther than his earlier statement that he would never lock down again, he put the lie to the bogus masks, and more important, he has said it was WRONG to have ever locked down.

      Still falling short of a complete apology. but better than the rest of the Democrats and Republicans who inflicted this insanity on America.

      President Trump and the people who insist he could do no wrong, even as they rail against the wrongs of the “response”, ned to get it through their heads that even as this episode comes to a close, we are left wide open for the next set of “restrictions” due to an “emergency”, with no proof at all that the restrictions will have any affect on that emergency.

      ALL and I mean ALL the real data on the effects of lockdowns and masks show NO benefit. The mask statistics even show that the voodoo superstition made things worse.

      This has to be made clear.

      The people who fell for it have to own up and make amends for being stupid or power hungry or too lazy to do due diligence.

      President Trump got bad advice. When he got to the point where he knew how bad the advice was, he should have fired the perpetrators.
      He failed to do so.

      This puts me on the outs with many of his supporters, but I don’t care, facts are facts and truth is truth; and the fact is, the most active leaders in the anti-lockdown movement don’t care about anything but the facts and truth either, and they do not hold President Trump blameless for his part in what happened.

      When I see the behavior of people who think they are being heroic in this scamdemic, I understand the holocaust and how it happened in a modern society better.

        So, Americans who went to school for the right kind of degrees, the STEM ones, so they could get better paying jobs, might conceivably find themselves unable to pay back the student loans they needed to get the degrees they had to have for the good paying jobs, because they are paying too much for the basics to live where those jobs are?

        And I read that even the ‘classy’ jobs are being exported, I mean outsourced.
        One tale was of someone with chemistry degrees, getting an offer of a 1k a month job, in China. That wont pay student loans of 100k and up.

        American politicians never apologize or admit they are wrong unless they are cornered and forced, no matter who it is. I am convinced that Trump is/was controlled opposition, especially given his handling of the COVID19 scam, which he knew was a scam, because all world leaders were put in place in order to roll it out. There is zero chance, IMHO, that Trump would be left out of the plan. That just doesn’t seem possible to me.

          At times, Trump did and said what he felt was best for the country. He contributed in someway. Fine. But I think you should consider that what we know from the internet and what is going on in the real world are 2 damn separate things. Yes, the election was stolen. Your gut sense and research on the net tells you this. So what next then? What is the mechanism in the real world where you convert this knowledge you got from the net into something concrete or results? Is it complaining to the press? CNN? The UN? Congress? The Police? Guiliani tried something, right? No, it looks like they went ahead and did the same thing again in Georgia. Again, no way to convert knowledge about this case into results or consequantial change. They are sayng even if you know, you cannot do a damn thing about it. Matter of fact, we can block you righr now under tems of service and screw the constitution, right? Tell me I’m wrong.

        • Wizard of the Saddle April 21, 2021 at 11:49 am #

          Mary – The insanity of the TDS phenom tends to argue against your theory that Trump was “controlled opposition” – though I certainly share your frustration.

          In my view, Trump ended up being what he has always been, a blowhard who couldn’t discipline his mouth. That was part of what made him entertaining and appealing to many working class Republican voters who enjoyed watching the Libtards stroke-out over every tweet Trump made.

          Nevertheless, I think that some of Trump’s instincts were good and if he did nothing else, he at least legitimized challenging illegal immigration and brought that issue out of the closet and front and center in American politics. The fact that he kept Steven Miller on-board for the entire 4 years speaks volumes to the fact that nobody controls Trump. Trump is his own loose cannon on deck and no one else’s. LOL….

          But it is time to move on. Trump is getting too old and the Left succeeded in making him radioactive to squishy voters in the middle. DeSantis is a better choice and I’m happy to see that Trump backs him.

  36. shox April 19, 2021 at 1:46 pm #

    “The key to these questions is how to explain the failure-to-thrive of a large black demographic despite the apparent victories of a long civil rights campaign, colossal expenditures of tax money for assistance, and affirmative action galore. I would explain it as the malign influence of neurotic white liberalism acting on the aforesaid black ambivalence about joining in or remaining apart from that common culture.

    “The upshot, for now, is that white liberalism has given black America permission to act violently and destructively, to disobey the law, to oppose officers attempting to enforce the law, and to justify the whole package of uncivil behavior on the grounds that “systemic racism” and “white supremacy” are the forces that keep black Americans from thriving. The script for all this prevails because liberalism cannot otherwise explain its own failure to uplift black America over many years of sedulous striving. They are left disappointed, ashamed, and guilty, and neurotically give themselves permission to support black hostility and hatred against white people as a form of self-punishment. The catch is that not all white people in America are neurotic liberals and they are not in favor of continuing white self-punishment.”

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

    Too simplistic an explanation James. There are other factors at play:
    1. Hardly anyone dares mention what should be single most deciding factor: the average IQ in the black community is significantly lower than with other ethnicities. This is why black communities who are embedded as a minority race in other countries do similarly poorly. All across Europe, it’s the same story. Don’t throw “Racist!” in my face. It’s just a fact. There are no Indians and Asians out there rioting and burning cities down. They’ve got the brains to forge their own success, so they don’t have to throw tantrums to earn sympathy points and emotionally blackmail the nation into giving them money.
    2. The liberals, whether they are conscious of it or not, are acting as a force for the creation of inter-group antagonisms in order to destabilize and destroy the existing order, which has been inherited from the found fathers and transmitted over hundreds of years, and ultimately to subjugate the entire population under Marxism Leninism. You are wrong to believe they are ashamed of their failures. THEY INWARDLY DO NOT FEEL SHAME. All of this insanity and chaos is by design, though most of them are unconscious of it. You’ve surely read Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals.” One of the tactics they employ is to hold the enemy accountable to his own rule-book, though they flout it themselves. It doesn’t even matter whether they feel shame or not. They are enacting in real life the logic of the programming they’ve received in school. That logic will take them and the state straight to their universal destruction, just as the KGB intended decades ago when they nurtured this movement into the monstrous size that it has become. You must surely have watched the Yuri Bezmenov conversation with G. Edward Griffin.
    3. As Oswald Spengler described in his “Decline of the West”, Western culture is going through its Faustian “winter” phase. The religious faith and mythology which once animated it, and which spurred it to create Gothic cathedrals, calculus, the telescope, the automobile and the like, have been undone by the advances of rationality and science and Darwin’s theory of evolution and natural selection, and have now been abandoned. Western man is living precariously off the legacy of his forefathers, his own creative life-force extinguished. And without a sense of place and identity in this hostile, arbitrary, indifferent and demeaning universe, he subconsciously longs for his own annihilation. Of course, there is also the sense of guilt over the transgressions of his forefathers, such as the massacre of the Indians. But in truth, EVERY culture has this on its resume. All this, I believe, is the reason why the US, Canada and the nations of Europe seem to have lost their instinct for self-preservation, as they get inundated with alien and hostile cultures like Islam. With this at play, it’s also no wonder that we see such displays of self-abasement and abdication by white people before other ethnic groups.

      the average IQ in the black community is significantly lower than with other ethnicities.

      Mestizos have similar IQs and ‘cultures’ [they were deep in Cannibalism when the Whites arrived].

      Blacks appear to have testosterone that is high and other differences that liberals dont want unearthed [see Bruce Lahn].

      • Beryl of Oyl April 19, 2021 at 2:19 pm #

        All this talk of IQ does not explain the fact that where I grew up, when there was a decent-paying job for any man who was willing to work hard, the black members of the community weren’t killing each other. If anything, the “brothers” treated one another better than the white guys did each other.

        As the jobs disappeared, that’s when things starting to break down.

        Yes there were fatherless families on welfare, but they average person receiving public assistance at that time was a white woman whose husband skipped out on the family.

        IQ has nothing to do with any of that.

            Backrow,

            There’s a story in the Talmud.

            Before a soul descends to earth, it stands before the Throne of God and He decides if it will be male or female, good looking or not, how intelligent it will be, born wealthy or poor, and so on. Then God says; “One thing I leave entirely in your hands, whether to be righteous or unrighteous.”
            .
            Life deals us a hand, some good stuff, some bad. We have to play the hand we’re dealt. You shouldn’t feel superior or inferior to anyone else for what’s dealt to you, take pride in what you’ve earned and accomplished.

          Good point & lack of jobs is going to become front & center within the next year. No employment ruins plenty of families no matter what the ethnicity. Many avenues of employment were blocked during the Jim Crow era & blacks were crowded into small areas in cities. Maybe this set the stage for the ghettos & the ghetto culture we have today.

          I’ve always been suspicious of this worship of IQ. Maybe because I’ve worked with people purported to be brilliant yet seen the exact same character traits as everybody else.

Buckminster Fuller said that if the margins saved through all this automation were distributed a little more widely, we’d have a really Star Trek level thing going. The problem is, the cultural paradigm is a debased Calvinism that looks an awful lot like Stakhanovite Communism. Our entire lives are meant to revolve around ‘work’.

This is why equality of outcome will always elude the do-gooders. But they can never admit the truth. So we end up punished by their collective insanity, their “wokester policies”.

      Regarding Number 3. Western white civilization has a deep moral conscience and outsized capacity for guilt, self-blame, and self-hate. Do you suppose today’s Mongols sit around lamenting and repenting of all the murder, rape, looting, sadism, destruction etc. they committed a mere 800 years ago. Oh hell no!

        @hmuller

        Thanks for your response. Yes indeed. The wokesters are capable of being both smart and stupid at the same time. Read the response I posted below to MaryV’s comment. It really is the most amazing phenomenon to behold. If someone described all this it to me 20 years ago, I would never have believed it possible. Where I grew up (Zimbabwe, formerly Rhodesia), whites were a proud people who saw themselves as the standard bearers for mankind, tasked with the duty of bringing light to the rest of the world. Remember Rudyard Kipling’s famous lines:

        Take up the White Man’s burden–
        Send forth the best ye breed–
        Go bind your sons to exile
        To serve your captives’ need;

        You’re right. Westerner’s are MUCH TOO HARD on themselves. And other cultures, particular enemy states like China, join in this macabre ceremony of excoriating the West, despite perpetrating, IN THE PRESENT DAY, what the West perpetrated hundreds of years ago. There’s literal slavery and genocide going on in China RIGHT NOW.

        In reality, which country does every single refugee put at the top of his list when fleeing from poverty and genocide? Obviously the US. That should be all the info that anyone should ever look to before deciding who’s the worst culture of them all. Look how people vote with their feet.

            @Wizard of the Saddle

            The fall of Rhodesia to the KGB-backed Marxist guerrilla savages masquerading as the “patriotic front” engaged in the “liberation struggle” (so many Orwellian inversions of reality with the use of language now that I think about it) was pretty much equaled in its trauma-value by the the economic collapse and hyperinflation between 2000-2008. THAT was the real furnace, especially economically and psychologically. To see them destroy within 10 years what took generations of pioneers and their descendants to build…. words cannot describe the despair and grief of those who had to live through it and ultimately flee from it like Lot from Sodom and Gomorrah.

            Yes indeed, the case of Rhodesia/Zimbabwe is a cautionary example of what can happen when people naively assume that one race or culture can inherit the legacy of another race and culture and seamlessly perpetuate it into the future. Precisely the opposite is true. I witnessed a fast-forward panorama of the “great replacement” as it is now called in Europe, which is allowing itself to be washed away by alien races and cultures.

            I maintain what I said earlier: Western Man seems to have a subconscious death wish. He is spiritually exhausted and has lost his instinct of self-preservation. He doesn’t want to defend himself against enemies, either internal or external. Marxist-Leninists will assail him and continue their work of demoralizing the populations of the West and hastening the process of its suicide.

        VERY, VERY good point. As soon as I posted my comment, I expected someone to rightly reprimand me on this point. There are LOTS of tech-geniuses in Silicone Valley, yet their intelligence does not exempt them from being possessed by this nonsensical ideology which is so riddled with logical contradictions and is now steering the state straight to its destruction. They have a particular strain of super-specialized intelligence, yet no knowledge of human nature and no historical perspective.

        What can I say? Intelligence and wisdom are NOT the same thing. Or else, George Orwell’s “Doublethink” is a very real occurrence, not just a figment of Orwell’s imagination. It’s quite literally possible for very intelligent people to harbor very stupid ideas, and yet be wholeheartedly devoted to being of service to the stupidity in them. The billionaire overlords in Silicon Valley stand as a very cautionary example for all of us to see.

        In my feeble defense, I’ll say that at least the tech gurus have brain enough to make money and not become dependent on the state for their material needs.

            About 100 years ago a minister in England described what he called The 7 Social Sins which the high IQ-tech giants seem to personify:

            “The Seven Social Sins are:

            Wealth without work.
            Pleasure without conscience.
            Knowledge without character.
            Commerce without morality.
            Science without humanity.
            Worship without sacrifice.
            Politics without principle.

            From a sermon given by Frederick Lewis Donaldson in Westminster Abbey, London, on March 20, 1925.”

    So I was talking to my neighbor; he used to be a DA, now in private practice defending the criminals he used to prosecute.

    Me: what about the Chauvin verdict?

    Neighbor: an acquittal is highly probable.

    Then, “send your wife out of town, and keep your guns close”.

    “What’s actually at issue here is whether black people in America really want to join with the other ethnic groups present in the land in a national common culture — that is, a consensus about behavior, ceremonies, and manners — or would rather opt out of it, oppose it, or violently destroy what’s left of it.”

    One thing about us human beings. We are obsessed with our own self-interest. If we feel something will pay off for us, we’re all over it. If not – we seek something else and fast.

    Whether members of any race in America want to join in to a common culture will depend – as always – on whether they can get what they want out of it. Which leads to the next question: What does anyone want today?

    That’s a tough one. Nobody seems to want the same things, except for more magic conjured digits to mystically appear in our empty bank accounts, to not have to go in to the office any more, to not get along with others, to promote our grievances, and to waste much of our lives on needless drama to no good end. Hey, that’s it! THAT’s now our common culture. And good luck building a future on THAT.

    And, let’s go back to the beginning. Were Native Americans given an opportunity to join with other ethnic groups in a common American culture? Or… were they the first victims of the Cancel Culture that seeks to erase all things that differ from one’s own chosen elevated group of people or ways of thinking? And if the Natives did want to join such a culture — what would they get out of it? Or if they preferred to keep their own culture and live with a respectful coexistence… would they have been allowed to? I think we know the answer to that one.

    Americans en masse seem to have collectively rejected the idea of a Common American Culture for our future. Conflict is encouraged instead of cooperation. Getting Over and Getting Yours seems to be the default operating system of our times. Ethics and morals are seen as silly notions from the Leave It To Beaver era. Get with the times, man. Old is bad. Different is good. Common culture? What do I get out of THAT? Sucka!

    What a sad ending to an American story that began with wide open spaces and big dreams. Nowadays, we are packed in together seething with frustration with others just as testy and our collective dream is to get through another day.

    • gustafson.robert.22 April 19, 2021 at 2:51 pm #

      Yes. It took just 5 centuries (6 or 7 lifetimes strung end-to-end!), to clog the open land like an old artery.

      All the western values and ideals, technological capacity, oil riches… all that to work with… 500 years and chaos at the door, unhappiness.

    We do not know how is it to be black but behavior of their own is puzzling too.

    The moment the multi million dollar contract is signed, “sport figure hero” is after the white woman, preferably blonde, to marry and parade around as a trophy. Where that drive came from? Hardly an inspiration for the race uplift, even though “love does not recognize boundaries”.

    World War II, we’ve been trained to believe, even by pacifists, was the one and only Good War. Evil Nazi Germany intent on taking over the world attacked its peace-loving neighbours who were, however reluctantly, forced to respond. The immediate cause – we’re told – was Germany’s refusal to respect Poland’s territorial integrity, thereby activating the British-French defense guarantee for that country. This justification however can be easily invalidated because shortly after the German invasion of Poland the Soviets also invaded. Yet the Allies did not declare war on war them.

    Au contraire. In fact Churchill wrote at least ten letters to Stalin offering Britain’s support and he developed a warm and personal relationship with the Soviet Ambassador to London ((Ivan Maisky)). Prior to becoming PM he had strongly urged Chamberlain against supporting the Baltic countries and Finland, all of which had been invaded by the Soviets. So much for the rights of small nations on which he endlessly bloviated.

    After Germany invaded the Soviet Union Churchill’s support grew to extraordinary (and arguably treasonous) lengths to the point of putting Britain’s strategic military objectives at risk. For instance he redirected 200 new Hawker pursuit planes from the defence of Singapore to Stalin. This decision had major ramifications in that the planes proved vital in the Battle of Moscow and their absence contributed to the fall of Singapore to the Japanese. He also redirected 500 bombers from America to the Soviet Union while withdrawing hundreds of tanks from British forces engaged in the desert war against Rommel.

    Some British hero, wasn’t he?

    What were his motives? Remember he very early on, ahead of most of his peers, identified the existential geopolitical threat posed by the Bolsheviks and he was, up until the early thirties, open-minded on whether Hitler would prove to be a force for good or ill. What happened? Well call me a mad right-wing conspiracy theorist if you like but here’s my explanation: In the early thirties Jewish bankers saved him from bankruptcy. Now this could reflect the legendary selfless generosity of such people. Or it could be that they had a price. Remember it was at this time that, as the Daily Express put it ‘Judea Declares War On Germany‘ sub-titled ‘Jews Of All The World Unite‘.

    [Something to think about.]

Hunter flying into Kiev on a C-47 with a bevy of LA hookers, dufflebags full of cash, a load of coke and a Commission from the Big Guy himself might be just the thing to diffuse this volatile situation.

    “Believe your eyes. What you saw, you saw,” Schleicher said, stressing it was Chauvin’s actions that killed Floyd.

    That was the closing argument. The easy, obvious point any lawyer worth his salt would have made.

    But we didn’t see a bad cop killing an innocent. It looks that way, but it’s not what we really saw. What we saw is a police officer fulfilling his sworn duty to serve and protect in a lawful manner, following accepted procedures and training. Floyd didn’t die because of Chauvin’s actions. He died of an overdose, combined with poor health. That’s the facts, but it’s not what we saw.

    We saw what we saw on 9/11. Then we were told the meaning of what we saw, that this and that one were responsible. We believed it. Then some started having second thoughts. Is this really what happened? We don’t know. Something happened and there was an agenda ready to be implemented, that’s all we know.

    “Trust your eyes” was true for most of our history. Is it still? Technology now can create deep fakes. We can see something on a screen that looks real, yet it’s not. That magic trick will be deployed at some point, if it hasn’t yet. False flags can, and have, also been deployed, and we think we’ve seen something, but in fact we’ve seen something else.

    I trust my eyes, but I don’t trust screens, and the propaganda and manipulation that come with screens. If it’s not mediated by a screen, I believe it. That the okra has popped, that it looks like it will rain, that the neighbor, black or white, is a decent fellow – or an asshole. If there’s a screen telling me what to think about what I see, I start doubting.

    There was a lively discussion here, over the weekend, about UFO’s. I’d like to share a dream I had years ago: I’m driving on the interstate one night, the sky is reddish and stormy, and of a sudden, cars ahead start braking and swerving onto the median. A giant spaceship with many bright lights has risen ahead, and is slowly gliding towards the city. People are getting out of cars, dazed, shaken. Some get on their knees and pray. Then, with the clarity you sometimes get when you’re dreaming, I know: “this is not real”. I look to the side of the road and I see some nondescript vans and suv’s, and I know the alien craft is being generated from them, from some apparatus inside them, a projection, a hologram. I don’t know how, or why it’s done, but I know it’s not true, what I’m seeing.

    There’s enough noise as is right now, but lately a new source of noise has risen: there’s a lot of buzz about new “alien revelations and disclosures”. Maybe the screens will show us something, and tell us what to think about it. But I don’t know. Like Socrates, I only know I know nothing. Or very little. I know the okra is popping, I know I love my family. Not much else.

    • MaryV April 19, 2021 at 6:49 pm #

      I’ve had similar dreams with the holograms. Sometimes, the sky is filled with them. Really bizarre stuff. Also, things exploding, falling out of the sky, etc. I hope I don’t have ESP. LOL.

        Mary, from Britannica: “Collective unconscious, term introduced by psychiatrist Carl Jung to represent a form of the unconscious (that part of the mind containing memories and impulses of which the individual is not aware) common to mankind as a whole and originating in the inherited structure of the brain. It is distinct from the personal unconscious, which arises from the experience of the individual. According to Jung, the collective unconscious contains archetypes, or universal primordial images and ideas.”

    Some very good discussions here today.

    I wonder,

    What is America? Does it really have any reason to exist? Seems like it, plus maybe Canada, was NOT founded on an ethnicity or language basis. It is and always has been a diverse quilt of many different people, immigrants. The only real natives are the Native Americans.

    Europe grew up from ancestral roots thousands of years old. Started with Greece and worked through Rome then the Dark Ages to now. The French were Gauls, the Germans were Huns, the English were Britons. Like family continuing for many generation. The Jews were the same way, claiming family lineage way back.

    Anyway, America has none of that. So what is the glue that holds us together? If anything?

    The thirteen colonies had nothing in common. The threat posed by England to their mutual economies pulled them together enough to declare independence, fight a revolution and create a Constitution. It is that Constitution that is the glue. The glue is the only thing that holds this country together, and the promise of the FFs intention of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness applies to all. Being able to get ahead on your own merits is what has drawn millions into this country. When other areas fail their folks, they come here.

    The US has always had problems with unity. Crises, wars, natural disasters always pull people together. The Wag the Dog operating theory is based on it, find a common enemy and get them.

    Is that what the US really is, a diverse group of different peoples held together only by the threat of some common foe. Are the Democrats honing this to a fine edge, actually the entire Deep State as they struggle against the populace? The current group of idiots in DC are already doing everything they can to divide us up. This will reach critical mass where the US with start to disintegrate, the Deep State will panic and declare war or something, somewhere to “unify” us under some bullshit banner like communism or Naziism or anti Japan, or Spain, or Mexico, or Britain or each other in the civil war.

    Does the USA, e pluribus unum, even have a reason to exist. The Dems right now want to destroy the Constitution to acquire ultimate power. Will they be successful? If they do not find that enemy, will the US just fall apart? Like the USSR? Is Russia the common foe this time? Who is Biden going to use as the whipping boy?

    BTW, the US no longer has the fighting will or military power to just run over little countries as it has.

    IMHO, we are heading for a break up. There is nothing to prevent it. The party in power is encouraging it. Interesting times asks how the division will occur.

      “Is that what the US really is, a diverse group of different peoples held together only by the threat of some common foe.”

      This is the clue as to why the Roman empire kept expanding, the threat of some common foe. They awarded citizenship to non-Romans so they were also a “diverse group of different peoples.” The only way they could maintain a hold on these peoples was the threat of a common foe. In fact, the Persian empire was the same. All empires are like that.

      JohnAZ – “What is America? Does it really have any reason to exist?”

      Interesting question.

      And it was never a question for my entire upbringing. It was a given that we were part of something noteworthy and sustaining. Suddenly, we’re supposed question it all and “bin it”, as the Brits say.

      Pretty confusing.

        I must have recited The Pledge of Allegiance thousands of times when attending school in Ohio in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s, hand over heart:

        “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
        And to the Republic for which it stands. One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

        If only what it says was the truth.

        • Wizard of the Saddle April 21, 2021 at 12:16 pm #

          The “indivisible” part is a lie. Added by Yankees after the late unpleasantness between the North and the South.

          All countries are easily divisible. They get sliced and diced all of the time and have been since the beginning of recorded history.

          People need to lose their normalcy bias that misinformed them that the status quo will always be the same.

          The only constant in life is change. The challenge is to figure out what is worth keeping and what is worth changing.

    I had the nagging feeling that I should get out of CA well before the lockdown. After it? No question. I high-tailed it to Idaho last August, the soonest I could move.

    What was your first winter like?
    Did you buy? Rent? City? Country?

    • MaryV April 19, 2021 at 9:12 pm #

      Renting in the southeast suburbs of Boise. Loved the winter, but am looking forward to spring. I have a huge back yard, which I could not afford in CA. I just put together a LOT of raised beds to grow a huge garden of veggies, fruits and pollinator plants.

      It is beautiful, and the people are so nice.

      Winters are typically pretty mild (I grew up in IL so – nothing to me).

      And so far, way cheaper. No crowds. Just got a bike, went tooling around the Green Belt. I absolutely love it so far.

    America was forcefully taken over and owned by white, Christian Europeans. The Vikings, the Dutch, the French, and probably others had the chance but didn’t follow through for whatever reason. The white, Christian Europeans started to build and create the country. Mostly Brits, Scots, Irish, Germans, and Italians. So, right or wrong, this is (or was) a White/Christian/European country and culture. They own it (whether right or wrong or fair) and they should never have let it be diluted. Blacks, Muslims, Communists, etc. could never fit into that culture.

    The smartest thing Lincoln/Congress could’ve done when slavery was abolished was to give the slaves gold and food and send them back to their villages in Africa. Get them all out of White/Christian/European America.

    • amb April 19, 2021 at 7:28 pm #

      Note: I’d say the opposite if Africans had founded and developed America and then White/Christian/Europeans came or were brought here. I’d say… send them all back to Europe. Their religion, customs, culture do not and never will fit.

      • amb April 19, 2021 at 7:32 pm #

        Note: When the Founding Fathers and the Constitution spoke of freedom of religion, they meant the Christian religions no longer beng persecuted or impinged upon by a state or monarchy. GOD is mentioned in these American documents, doesn’t that say enough.

        How can you mention GOD, when there are Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, etc. etc. that have different gods? You’ve already excluded these people.

        And them, just like the Africans, should never have been allowed in, or allowed to stay in, white Christian Capitalist America.

        • Tekapo April 19, 2021 at 8:16 pm #

          When the Founding Fathers and the Constitution spoke of freedom of religion, they meant the Christian religions no longer being persecuted or impinged upon by a state or monarchy.

          Yes – freedom of religion was protected, but so was freedom from religion – the state could not establish an official religion … the Founding Fathers did not want to replicate the power of the Catholic (and Protestant) religions that had riven Europe for 1500 years.

          On balance then – the Founding Fathers were very much trying to create a secular state – free of the yoke of any religion, including Christianity. The Constitution does not use the word “God” (Christian or otherwise), I think precisely not to assume a religious nation.

          These guys were fairly radical and far-sighted – they weren’t trying to create a nation that looked like 18th Century Europe, with its ancient institutions, power relations, aristocracies, and conflicts.

          In terms of being leery about religion, and their desire to create a new secular nation free of its scourge – very admirable.

          In designing a political system to really work for a few centuries – not so much. They were a bit schizophrenic about it – on one hand they believe that the would be governed by honorable men, but on the other they included so many checks, balances, and vetos that they almost guaranteed gridlock and paralysis.

          But I know they were skewered by (a) distrust between the original colonies, and (b) the intractable issues relating to slavery.

      Well, the US govt set up Liberia in the 1840s.

      It didn’t work out too good as the American blacks who went to Africa lorded it over the native Africans, in fact enlisted them as slave labor to work on the vast cotton plantations the American blacks had set up. Then there was the whole question of cannibalism, which the Africans still practiced but which appalled black Americans.

    The what if’s stand out. What if Lincoln had sent all the Blacks to Liberia? What if the Blacks, Browns and Muslims had assimilated into America so that everyone believed the same things. Small percentages have assimilated. Much to their benefit. What is it that keeps the bigger and bigger groups refusing to adopt America? The real irony is they do not have a clue what to put in its place. Scrap the Constitution, what to put in its place? No clue!!

    This is a real negative about the human condition, the Devil’s Advocacy.

    Neo- Marxists, you are so damned stupid you do not understand you are killing your own cause. America and its Constitution is what gives you the liberty to act like the assholes you are.

    Other than Rhodesia and SAfrica, Liberia was for many decades the most prosperous of the sub saharan African countries. The Americo-Liberians considered themselves an unapproachable elite, for example, a native African was forbidden from talking directly to an Americo, or looking him in the eye. An African could not marry an Americo, or even mix socially. They were not thought of as fully human.

    Americos ruled from 1827 to 1980.

    After that came a civil war that killed about 250,000 people and wiped out 90% of the economy. Those were the days of General Butt Naked, when Liberia returned to the African fold.

    The hold the crud has on the country is weakening, the power mongers that have used it to control the country are losing their hold. The Vaccine is working, the new cases are declining in most states, deaths are really down. Comparing the US right now to Europe shows the effect of the vaccines here starting to beat the disease. The only country in Europe that has taken vaccines seriously is the UK, and their response is the same as ours.

    Hopefully, you soon will no longer have the crud to complain about and will talk about important stuff like the loss of our republic. And, no, the Covid is on the decline, no longer the power handle it was.

      I wish I could share your optimism, JAZ, but today I just saw that Pfizer CEO says you need a 3d shot and then a shot every year, for a virus that if it exists mutates ever few hours (which is why no vaccine was ever created for the other coronaviruses, it didn’t make sense). And air travel to other countries is being restricted. So no, the response to the crud is intensifying, because it is not about the crud at all.

      It’s about the Great Reset. Covid19 is just the means to that.

      I understand that, but you don’t seem to – which is fine. I’m just clarifying why I would not take the experimental mRNA-altering non-vaccine ‘vaccine’ nor would I set myself up to have to take continual ones, especially now that I’ve learned what’s going on is parallel to Fauci’s first grift, the AIDS pandemic. The cure was the actual pandemic and they are doing the same thing now with the vaccines. I have seen that thousands have died or been injured, including a friend of mine who has Bell’s Palsy, and was coerced into taking the vaccine by her husband.

      I also see op eds calling the unvaxxed ‘unclean’ ‘selfish’ and that they should be removed from society – in Washington Post today. This is not ending until people refuse the vaxx and remove the face masks and say ‘enough’.

    The white man is becoming the common enemy. In HBO’s “Exterminate all the Brutes”, a twist is put on those famous words of Kurtz in “Heart of Darkness”, the white man becoming the brute with his imperialism, slavery, and colonialism.

      Tucson, “He began with the argument that we whites, from the point of

      The peroration was magnificent, though difficult to remember, you know. It gave me the notion of an exotic Immensity ruled by an august Benevolence. It made me tingle with enthusiasm. This was the unbounded power of eloquence — of words — of burning noble words. There were no practical hints to interrupt the magic current
      of phrases, unless a kind of note at the foot of the last page, scrawled evidently much later, in an unsteady hand, may be regarded as the exposition of a method. It was very simple, and at the end of that moving appeal to every altruistic sentiment it blazed at you, luminous and terrifying, like a flash of lightning in a serene sky:`Exterminate all the brutes!’

        • JohnAZ April 19, 2021 at 11:39 pm #

          The destruction of the working class. Hmmm.

          Started with the moving of manufacturing to first Mexico, then Asia to get cheap labor rates. A second reason was moving those dirty factories out of the US for the EPA. Started with the Clintons and NAFTA, and really accelerated with Obama. It slowed a little with Trump. We will see if Biden favors sending jobs overseas and knocking down manufacturing even more.

          Here is a clue, the service sector will not work without a robust manufacturing sector.

          The control of corporations comes from within the economy, from middle companies putting them out of business by better service, better response and better ideas.

          Tekapo, this is where the government screws every thing up. The politics messes with the tax codes, lobbying occurs and power concentrates on a very few corporations. The government makes corporations, they should be breaking them up.

        It sure is. A bit more,

        “They were conquerors, and for that you want only brute force—nothing to boast of, when you have it, since your strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others. They grabbed what they could get for the sake of what was to be got. It was just robbery with violence, aggravated murder on a great scale, and men going at it blind—as is very proper for those who tackle a darkness. The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much. What redeems it is the idea only. An idea at the back of it; not a sentimental pretence but an idea; and an unselfish belief in the idea—something you can set up, and bow down before, and offer a sacrifice to….”

Floyd’s ‘friends’ who get in and out of the vehicle at random throughout the ‘taking a knee’ 9 minutes. Then they wander off down the street unchallenged by police. Also other police vehicles that don’t belong or have anomalous markings go by. None of them stop. Also the weird appearance of the rubber dummy identical to Floyd (seen that on out there?) I have to wonder if the guy is even dead at all. Or just a lifetime actor. He was clearly a low life and a mob torpedo. His family got a giant payoff. He can kick it on some Gates owned Island of Dr Moreau a while until such time as Mr Wynt and Mr Kidd pay a visit to clean up.

    As an amateur student of history and life, I’ve concluded the raison d’etre of America is money. The all-mighty dollar. That is what united us and kept this country together.

    History is written by the victors. The colonists rebelled about against the oppressive King. As a kid in the 1970s, in elementary school I learned, “no taxation without representation”. Yet one could argue that World War ZERO was the French and Indian war. Great Britain, aka the King, had to pay millions of GOLD pounds sterling to buy weapons, equip thousands of soldiers, pay for ships and provisions to transport the troops across the Atlantic to fight the French (who also had to pay–and their economy was so crippled by the costs, plus the loss, of New France, that it precipitated the French Revolution and fall of the monarchy). So was it really so unreasonable for the King to expect His subjects to pick up some of the tab? The King could not print money–he had to spend gold, or borrow.

    A group of EXTREMELY intelligent, socially and economically prominent men in the Colonies, whom Americans view as the Founding Fathers, but Brits might consider rebel traitors, came up with a great idea: a republic, where the subjects could vote, and at the same time, they all (and especially the Found Fathers) would be relieved of paying taxes to the Crown. They would be free!

    So even at birth, money was a motive. Civil War…slavery was the emotional issue, yes. But the industrializing north wanted tariffs. The wealthy southerners, aka slave holders, wanted free trade–why should they pay more for shoddier American manufactured goods? Who gains money? Who loses? The North and the new Republicans did settled the argument. Tariffs it was–and like every rapidly rising country, from Germany then to Japan and Korea later, tariffs helped America eat Great Britain’s lunch.

    After the Civil War, the economy began to take off. Industry needed workers. For the immigrants from Europe, many, if not most, who struggled to eat in Europe, working in America was a good deal. The very rich made money. The immigrants made (some) money, and over time improved their lot.

    The pie was growing. There was enough to satisfy everyone–the very rich, and the workers. As long as the whole pie grew, every year everyone got more. While there would ‘skirmishes’ on the margins as to how the pie would be divided, whether a bigger share went to labor, or it went to management, or owners, over time, but over time, ALL of them would have more pie. And that’s what propelled America forward, and united this country. My grandfather did not come here to experience lofty visions of liberty–he came here to live better–because he believed he could make money and keep it and spend it as he pleased. And he did so.

    The roaring twenties saw huge growth–and also a disproportionate part going to the very wealth. The speculative bubble burst, and the USA had the Great Depression. FDR, according to himself, “saved capitalism”. Then we had WWII. Chastened by the Depression and WWII, from 1946 to the early 1960s, the economy grew. This was the high-water mark for the share that went to American workers.

    From 1923/4 to 1965, America had quotas. People like my grandfather from Greece or Eastern or Southern Europe were kept out (my grandfather got here just before the door closed). So we had 1.5 generations to assimilate, and be forged in the crucible of the Depression, and then WWII, when the “new Americans”, with names like Rizzo or Wolowicz or even Nakasone (in Italy and Europe) and Schmidt (in the Pacific Theater) fought proudly for their parents’ new country. For 45 years, there were no legions of illegal aliens to depress wages. With Germany and Japan and Europe in ruins, there was little good competition for years after 1945. Life was good. People were optimistic. For men who avoided Korea or Vietnam, or made it with both their minds and bodies intact, life was pretty good in the USA.

    And Civil Rights were starting to move forward in this country. I often wonder of how much progress Black Americans would have made if we had a deluge of Latin Americans…but I digress, from my already too long comment.

    1946-63 was way before my time, but my sense is, with the nostalgia for the 1950s as portrayed in late 1970s (Happy Days, Grease, “no crime” vs crime and inflation and unemployment), American in general were optimistic about the future. By 1980, not so much.

    To me, from my perch in suburban NYC, in the late 1970s, it seemed that legal discrimination was a thing of the past. In the early 1990s, I read somewhere that Black Americans earned* 91% of what Whites were making. Almost there! The asterisk* — a black family, defined as the father and mother living with their children, compared to a comparably define white family. In 1990, the proportion of African Americans not living in conventional families was significantly higher than whites.

    So the pie was growing, though the growth after 1973 became smaller and less consistent–and real.

    Starting in the 1960s, to pay for the (idiotic) Vietnam War, American started running deficits. Then America started importing more than it exported (trade deficits).

    “Morning in America” wasn’t so bright, with the benefit of hindsight. The was I see, we Americans, wittingly, knowingly or not, got policies that made us start eating our ‘seed corn’, our capital, our inheritance. We were living off the past. The gains of the 1980s were not only not evenly distributed, but they were illusory. Since 2000, we’ve gotten more illusion.

    The pie stopped growing for working Americans in 1973. The pie really hasn’t grown in the past 15 years. With the same size pie, tech has a bigger piece than ever, yes. But the pie that goes to the very wealthy, the size of that piece, is larger than ever.

    If that piece is larger than ever, then it stands to reason, that the pie left for the remaining 95% has shrunk.

    And there is no easy fix–and that’s before taking into account the finite natural resources that make permanent growth impossible.

    I think enough people in the establishment, or ‘deep state’ know this. They also know about natural resource limits.

    So they conjure up BS theories, like MMT, or BLM (vs All LM) and other gimmicks (like threating Russia, and making noises about China—after the US active made China what it is, lol) to distract, and create division, which is more distracting…while they clean up.

    America is about money. Mean Green. The almighty dollar. A bigger piece of pie. Now that the pie is shrinking, the sh*t is much closer to the fan. May God help us.

      • JohnAZ April 19, 2021 at 11:51 pm #

        I would like you to consider one more thing. What about the upper 5% who have so much money that it is not a motivator any more. Why do they have to make more and more?

        POWER. Money is the route to power in the PTB. If you have ever read a history of Newport RI during the gilded age you would discover that the entire social structure was organized by how much money you had and how old the money was. A fur trapper from the early 1800s had the oldest money, named Astor and he was number one. Molly And Johnny Browns story shows how hard it was to break into society.

        Why do people keep working to make more and more, because there is someone they want to outdo that has more.

        Money+power = greed, one of the great sins.

          • Tekapo April 23, 2021 at 12:06 am #

            No – I think Trump was guilty on the first impeachment, the second one was a bit more so-so … but more and more stuff has emerged since Jan 6 to imply there was a plan in place – a last desperate volley, because the Supremes had not done a Bush v Gore, as he assumed they would.

        Naw this technology caused mass animal casualties when it was tried before. It’s not new, John.

        18 Reasons I Won’t Be Getting a Covid Vaccine
        by Christian Elliott

        #1: VACCINE MAKERS ARE IMMUNE FROM LIABILITY

        The only industry in the world that bears no liability for injuries or deaths resulting from their products, are vaccine makers.

        First established in 1986 with the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, and reinforced by the PREP Act, vaccine makers cannot be sued, even if they are shown to be negligent.

        The covid-vaccine makers are allowed to create a one-size-fits-all product, with no testing on sub-populations (i.e. people with specific health conditions), and yet they are unwilling to accept any responsibility for any adverse events or deaths their products cause.

        If a company is not willing to stand behind their product as safe, especially one they rushed to market and skipped animal trials on, I am not willing to take a chance on their product.

        No liability. No trust.

        Here’s why…

        #2: THE CHECKERED PAST OF THE VACCINE COMPANIES

        The four major companies who are making these covid vaccines are/have either:

        Never brought a vaccine to market before covid (Moderna and Johnson & Johnson).
        Are serial felons (Pfizer, and Astra Zeneca).
        Are both (Johnson & Johnson).
        Moderna had been trying to “Modernize our RNA” (thus the company name)–for years, but had never successfully brought ANY product to market–how nice for them to get a major cash infusion from the government to keep trying.

        In fact, all major vaccine makers (save Moderna) have paid out tens of billions of dollars in damages for other products they brought to market when they knew those products would cause injuries and death–see Vioxx, Bextra, Celebrex, Thalidomide, and Opioids as a few examples.

        If drug companies willfully choose to put harmful products in the market, when they can be sued, why would we trust any product where they have NO liability?

        In case it hasn’t sunk in, let me reiterate…3 of the 4 covid vaccine makers have been sued for products they brought to market even though they knew injuries and deaths would result.

        Johnson & Johnson has lost major lawsuits in 1995, 1996, 2001, 2010, 2011, 2016, 2019 (For what it’s worth, J&J’s vaccine also contains tissues from aborted fetal cells, perhaps a topic for another discussion)
        Pfizer has the distinction of the biggest criminal payout in history. They have lost so many lawsuits it’s hard to count. You can check out their rap sheet here. Maybe that’s why they are demanding that countries where they don’t have liability protection put up collateral to cover vaccine-injury lawsuits.
        Astra Zeneca has similarly lost so many lawsuits it’s hard to count. Here’s one. Here’s another…you get the point. And in case you missed it, the company had their covid vaccine suspended in at least 18 countries over concerns of blood clots, and they completely botched their meeting with the FDA with numbers from their study that didn’t match.
        Oh, and apparently J&J (whose vaccine is approved for “Emergency Use” in the US) and Astrazenca (whose vaccine is notapproved for “Emergency Use” in the US), had a little mix up in their ingredients…in 15 million doses. Oops.
        Let me reiterate this point:

        Given the free pass from liability, and the checkered past of these companies, why would we assume that all their vaccines are safe and made completely above board?

        Where else in life would we trust someone with that kind of reputation?

        To me that makes as much sense as expecting a remorseless, abusive, unfaithful lover to become a different person because a judge said deep down they are a good person.

        No. I don’t trust them.

        No liability. No trust.

        Here’s another reason why I don’t trust them.

        #3: THE UGLY HISTORY OF ATTEMPTS TO MAKE CORONAVIRUS VACCINES

        There have been many attempts to make viral vaccines in the past that ended in utter failure, which is why we did not have a coronavirus vaccine in 2020.

        In the 1960’s, scientists attempted to make an RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) vaccine for infants.

        In that study, they skipped animal trials because they weren’t necessary back then.

        In the end, the vaccinated infants got much sicker than the unvaccinated infants when exposed to the virus in nature, with 80% of the vaccinated infants requiring hospitalization, and two of them died.

        After 2000, scientists made many attempts to create coronavirus vaccines.

        For the past 20 years, all ended in failure because the animals in the clinical trials got very sick and many died, just like the children in the 1960’s.

        You can read a summary of this history/science here.

        Or if you want to read the individual studies you can check out these links:

        In 2004 attempted vaccine produced hepatitis in ferrets
        In 2005 mice and civets became sick and more susceptible to coronaviruses after being vaccinated
        In 2012 the ferrets became sick and died. And in this study mice and ferrets developed lung disease.
        In 2016 this study also produce lung disease in mice.
        The typical pattern in the studies mentioned above is that the children and the animals produced beautiful antibody responses after being vaccinated.

        The manufacturers thought they hit the jackpot.

        The problem came when the children and animals were exposed to the wild version of the virus.

        When that happened, an unexplained phenomenon called Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) also known as Vaccine Enhanced Disease (VED) occurred where the immune system produced a “cytokine storm” (i.e. overwhelmingly attacked the body), and the children/animals died.

        Here’s the lingering issue…

        The vaccine makers have no data to suggest their rushed vaccines have overcome that problem.

        In other words, never before has any attempt to make a coronavirus vaccine been successful, nor has the gene-therapy technology that is mRNA “vaccines” been safely brought to market, but hey, since they had billions of dollars in government funding, I’m sure they figured that out.

        Except they don’t know if they have…

        #4: THE “DATA GAPS” SUBMITTED TO THE FDA BY THE VACCINE MAKERS

        When vaccine makers submitted their papers to the FDA for the Emergency Use Authorization (Note: An EUA is not the same as a full FDA approval), among the many “Data Gaps” they reported was that they have nothing in their trials to suggest they overcame that pesky problem of Vaccine Enhanced Disease.

        They simply don’t know–i.e. they have no idea if the vaccines they’ve made will also produce the same cytokine storm (and deaths) as previous attempts at such products.

        As Joseph Mercola points out…

        “Previous attempts to develop an mRNA-based drug using lipid nanoparticles failed and had to be abandoned because when the dose was too low, the drug had no effect, and when dosed too high, the drug became too toxic. An obvious question is: What has changed that now makes this technology safe enough for mass use?”

        If that’s not alarming enough, here are other gaps in the data–i.e. there is no data to suggest safety or efficacy regarding:

        Anyone younger than age 18 or older than age 55
        Pregnant or lactating mothers
        Auto-immune conditions
        Immunocompromised individuals
        No data on transmission of covid
        No data on preventing mortalityfrom covid
        No data on duration of protection from covid
        Hard to believe right?

        In case you think I’m making this up, or want to see the actual documents sent to the FDA by Pfizer and Moderna for their Emergency Use Authorization, you can check out this, or this respectively. The data gaps can be found starting with page 46 and 48 respectively.

        For now let’s turn our eyes to the raw data the vaccine makers used to submit for emergency use authorization.

      Sounds similar to what former Pfizer VP and Chief Scientist Michael Yeadon was saying.

      Yes, that is right, former Pfizer VP and Chief Scientist.

      He said no one should take the vaccine and echoed the fact that a vaccine passport would mean the end of humanity as we know it.

      • hmuller April 20, 2021 at 9:23 am #

        Night Owl,

        As I recall, Dr Yeadon also said this looked like a mass sterilization effort.

        Does life imitate art? About 10 years ago the BBC produced a TV series titled “Utopia”. (Available on Amazon on DVD, you can read the reviews)

        The premise is that a shadowy Intell Agency releases a very nasty flu virus which prompts people to get injected with a vaccine. The secret agenda is that the vaccine causes sterility in most people..

        The twist. The Intell people think all races and ethnic groups are subject to equal levels of sterility. But the brilliant genetics scientist who created the vaccine designed it so his own ethnic group would not become sterile.

        That group – the Roma, aka Gypsies. Probably not my first choice for the people to inherit the earth, but we won’t go there.

    The pie stopped growing for working Americans in 1973. The pie really hasn’t grown in the past 15 years. With the same size pie, tech has a bigger piece than ever, yes. But the pie that goes to the very wealthy, the size of that piece, is larger than ever.

    If that piece is larger than ever, then it stands to reason, that the pie left for the remaining 95% has shrunk.

    And there is no easy fix–and that’s before taking into account the finite natural resources that make permanent growth impossible.

    Great post Socrates-Detroit. Our host JHK talks on these issues very eloquently too. The happy motoring days of Fonzie and Richie are over – even those of Friends, Cheers, Seinfeld, and Frasier.

    What I really don’t understand is why so many attack the Democratic Party for wanting to increase the size of the slice that goes to the bottom 95%. Why are they so vociferously pro-Republican? It’s got me stuffed – surely they aren’t all members of that top 5% living at Hyannisport.

    • hmuller April 19, 2021 at 11:22 pm #

      Don’t you see your problem, Tekapo? You and your kind want to talk about how to divide an ever shrinking pie.

      Most people want to find ways to make the pie grow. Admittedly, this may or may not be possible.

      But we’re not falling for the old bullshit that Democrats are our friends. As you pointed out the trend has been continuing since 1973 thru Dem and Rep administrations. The Dems serve the moneyed interests as much as the other wing of the uniparty, and with even less regard for traditional American liberties.

        Well yes – it would be hard to argue that the Democratic Party has delivered a workers’ paradise over the last 50 years when they did have some power … but I would argue that the GOP has been far worse in delivering anything.

        Can you name the last time the Republican Party – since say 1973 – wrote, sponsored, and passed a piece of legislation that was pro American working families? I struggle to think of one.

            Well GA, this revelation of your “agricultural work” in Afghanistan is a new twist. You are no doubt familiar with the opium wars and all the money you Brits (mostly the royals) have made running drugs out of Afghanistan.

            Pay the farmers a pittance, refine the poppy juice, earn mega-billions. Yes indeed, you people recognize opportunity when it comes knocking.”

            So, I’m now responsible for the Opium Wars and drugs running out of Afghanistan?

            “You people”???

            I was living in France in the 70s and working as a technical translator for a company then called SOGREAH Consulting Engineers, who were, in this instance, working on agricultural improvement projects in Afghanistan while it had a lefty government trying to make things better for the peasants. Britain had nothing to do with it. But it was partially funded by the World Bank, hence reports having to be submitted in English.

            But the royals and other billionaires thru today are involved in drug trafficking. We (US, UK, Et al.) didn’t spend 20 years in Afghanistan because hunting unwashed natives in caves is so much fun.

            In the past few years, Wachovia Bank and the Shanghai & Hing Kong Bank have been exposed for each laundering hundreds of billions in drug money. No one went to jail, small fines were paid, the cost of doing business.

            So move along folks, nothing to see here , no conspiracies, no powerful people involved.

            I have never had any notion that anyone ever from anywhere was in Afghanistan for any reason to do with giving a toss about its inhabitants. Russia included. Even though I do personally feel for all those girl children having their educations cut short or cut out by the Taliban (including the one who took a bullet in the head for the team and ended up with a degree from Oxford).

            I just wondered why you took such a tenuous opportunity to have a go at me because I translated some reports about rotation crops and drip irrigation.

          One comment to both of you.

          Democrats + GOP = Deep State.

          The enemy of the republic is the Deep State. Arguing Dem vs. GOP is meaningless.

          That is why a Freedom, or Patriot party is necessary to protect the Constitution from the Deep State. I do not worry about Russia or China, even they know where the real enemy of our Republic is, here. They are not even going to have to break a sweat to tear us down.

            Well, I really disagree … you want to defend (in abstract terms) the “Republic” from – something. I wish to defend the working class and struggling middle class, from the ravages and depredations of the top 5% – that’s the difference between us.

            You really do not get it. No wonder you try to glorify the Left.

            You say the 5% are devaluing the middle and lower classes.

            Wel, friend, that 5% IS the Deep State. Both parties, Washington DC the enemy of the middle class and working class. Bush encouraged illegal immigration and encouraged NAFTA, moving jobs south. Obama was the worst, moving out manufacturing to Asia during his 8 years. Those are the jerks that have destroyed the USA economy.

            Your “side” is just as culpable as they both belong to the same groups, the Deep State, Wall Street and their connections to globalism and the illicit trades.

      Quite a bit of psychological and emotional abuse is utilized during programming. And LOTS of programming occurs in ads so just imagine what happens in classrooms, real or virtual. Demonic to say the least since it is exploiting the better angels to achieve maximum evil. Good and wholesome people and citizens wear masks because they are outward symbols of social goodness, health and wholeness. People who don’t hide their faces outwardly show they are not good, or healthy or whole. It is not healthy to be natural (without mask). It is not natural to be without mask..

    So when is Maxine Waters going to be expelled from Congress for inciting insurrection and violence against the democratic process and justice? Wasn’t that the whole reason the militaristic police state guilty before proven innocent reaction to Jan 6 was deployed by the “government” and “media”? If her expulsion from Congress is not in the script then can there be any other conclusion than political violence and extrajudicial lynchings are now officially condoned and should be fully anticipated and expected from this point forward? And if that is the official reality would there be any point at all fretting over seemingly futile attempts to find common ground with hostiles and what exactly could possibly be the point. Perhaps the real red lines are being drawn now rightch here at home. Same as they were back in the Obamcene in the now practically failed state of Syria.

            The Catholic response is that since the Glory of God in infinite, the punishment must be as well.

            Or, perhaps, He knows that all men are sinful and that He offers eternal grace for those that try their very Best – enough to please Him.

            The Biggest mistake people make with God is judging Him like the guy that Just moved in next door.

            Yes, He must be better than man, not worse than them, exceeding them only in power. If his power corrupts him, he is no God at all.

            A potter will destroy bad products, returning the clay to the kiln. Why torture what he made forever? Unmake them if they cannot attain the Beatific Vision in one little lifespan allotted to them.

            In Hinduism and Buddhism, all will attain in Some Day of Time, be it in this life or some other. In this universe or the next one. Their Vision is thus greater than Christianity’s because it shows forth the Mercy aspect of God and at same time, the Cosmic Grandeur that He created. And also a Justice worthy of an Infinite Being.

            Because the product isn’t bad. It’s just inherently flawed, due to time and free will. Must be by design?

            One could say that means “bad”, but one could also say people don’t do good things. Which would be false.

    ‘America is about money. Mean Green. The almighty dollar. A bigger piece of pie’. Socrates

    What country isn’t about money? The World is about money. Or is it about love and kisses?

    A rising tide doesn’t necessarily raise all boats. However, the rising tide of globalism has given a bigger slice of the pie to a couple of billion people, mainly Chinese and Indians among others. True, it’s also given the elites a lot more wealth and negatively impacted many Americans.

    The frustration lies in not having any real voice in how things are run. I’ll never be invited to a G-20 summit. Hell, getting to speak with a city councilman or county supervisor would take a major effort.
    It’s not a comfortable thought, that those at the top control you, but you can be as free as you allow yourself to be.

    It’s sad when you hear someone like Locke saying that money enables him to “walk with the feet of other people”. Money, the root of all power.

    • SoftStarLight April 20, 2021 at 9:44 am #

      Yes it is about love and kisses because money and stuff doesn’t last forever and you won’t be able to take those with you on your spirit journey. I would imagine that there shouldn’t be much of an expectation of having any real voice in a dramatically dense and hyper complex society that is based on the maximal isolation of the individual rather than on strong communal bonds. IOW we are where we are for a reason. The Elite people who have the biggest slices of pie designed this world for their benefit. Why not neutralize the opposition? Globalism has its benefits. Most everything can be good and bad huh. But primarily that is what is giving fuel to overpopulation, ecocide, and genocide. Why encourage a war against the irrational? Who gets to determine what is and is not rational? Would you punish me because I said the world was about love and kisses? Because that sentiment is irrational in a cold and calculating world constructed from the brutality of and savagery of base materialism and the assertion of raw, unbounded power.

      • tucsonspur April 20, 2021 at 8:22 pm #

        Love is important and has great spiritual value, unlike money, but it doesn’t run things. You can’t pay your bills with it. The gears of world economies are lubricated with money, not love. This is obvious.

        No, you’re right, there shouldn’t be much expectation of having any Real voice in today’s complex, confusing cacophony.

        I determine what is rational and what is not. One must think for one’s self.

        Contrary wise, I would not punish you, but would write you wonderful poems and send you fabulous flowers, bouquets of great beauty, in celebration of your romantic ideal.

      Most of us writing here have never really had a voice–just a vote for either half of the Republicrats (that’s what they have been since the 1970s), unless one votes for a third party

      The importance of money is paramount in any organized society, especially a modern one. As such, money is key to obtaining power, which is what people want.

      In poorer countries in the past, money did not loom as large in the lives of subsistence farmers.

      When the USA was founded, it was a powerful nation like Britain, France, Russia, or even the Ottoman Empire. But it was the leading edge, the new idea, the thing. Money was key then–and now.

      You are right, money is always important. And while one can debate whether debasement of the money is a cause of the decline of society, or correlated with that decline, I think history shows it is not a good thing.

      The consequence of our massive debt will be bad, worse, disastrous, or catastrophic.

      In tandem with the pandemic, and the way it was handled, the mobs in the streets, we have storm brewing. And that’s before the resource constraints….

    BLM marching in a residential neighborhood in Stillwater, MN…for what reason? Blocking random people from getting to their homes, apparently (a worthy cause!).

    Point of this would be…

    Awareness? Nope…how can we possibly be more “aware” after years of this?

    In reality, the point is Annoyance. Pushing the boundaries. Removing the comfort zone of everyday life for everyday people who have zero to do with your complaints. Congrats, dickheads!

    Anyway…If they’re choosing to temporarily hold random neighborhoods hostage in a place as removed as Stillwater to stir the pot, perhaps I’m not as far out from this BS as I thought…

    Get a fucking job, people. And stop badgering people who have done nothing to you. It’s like that kid in 4th grade who keeps trying to flick your ear. But now they’re “grown up”, which makes it even more confusing, and sad.

        I suppose it depends if they had a permit to “march”. If they did…why was that approved?

        This is just a random block in a suburb that has nothing to do with anything they’re protesting.

          I know exactly what purpose these actions serve.This group is trained to do the irrational and publicly frame it as rational…throwing the rest of us off balance, those of us who are just trying to live our lives.

          But yes, I do have respect for all people…until they (individually) prove themselves unworthy of respect. Some individuals provide that proof quickly.

          Childish things…what?

            Loyalty to individuals is often disloyalty to your Race and Nation. And if those individuals are outside the group, how much more so! Almost inevitably!

    Well, in Hartford an arrest was made in the murder of the 3 yo boy last week. The suspect is a Club Member, 19 years old, may or may not be a member of a street gang. It was a drive by shooting, and the stolen car he was in was found burning in a vacant a few days ago.

    Apparently there’s a new game being played in cities across the USA: shoot at or into passing cars ‘In de Hood’, in Hartford, Syracuse and Chicago recently children hit by bullets inside vehicles in this new thrilling gangbang sport. In Chicago also the cop shooting of the 12 yo known as ‘Homocide’ after a foot chase in a dark alley stemmed after Homocide and another gangsta fired 21 shots at passing vehicles.

    In all honesty, what kind of civilization is possible with this kind of people in it, exhibiting this kind of behavior?

      Left-wingers always come back to every problem and every solution is based on materialism, i.e. we don’t spend enough money on these troubled youth.

      I say it’s a problem of morality, a lack of values, rotten homes, useless schools, no guidance, letting them grow up unsupervised into monsters. Then they move on to the prison system.

      If money created decency, our society’s billionaires wouldn’t be the pack of hyenas they are. They are the head. The fish rots from the head down. There is little hope for this iteration of civilization. We need a complete wash-out, a start over.

      A rebirth of the spirit is only possible if we spit out every lie and false value taught by the evil, deceitful ones and embrace what is right, true, and holy.

This country is already being run by the cartels of Mexico, it needs its drugs so why not just destroy the border to get them. Eliminate the middle man, allow Walmart to destroy Afghanistan’s small market economy and set up the drug trade eliminating the middle man.

    DeSantis talked this weekend about Florida not developing surges during the year even though staying open.

    No s**t, if you protect older folks and use masks for indoor activity, you do not have to shut down anything. That has been my position all along, use em when you need em and no more. Protect from spit. Remember that Spit Happens. Ventilate, and distance indoors. Keep older folks more protected. Keep old folks away from kids until herd immunity is reached. When the community density of virus falls below a point, surges stop and it becomes a mild case of the flu.

    Surge one. We did not know any better. Surge two. We thought it was over and went to the beach (figuratively speaking). Surge three. We went to school and allowed the asymptomatic kids to spread it around, just like every year with the flu.

    As it turns out, except for spit reduction, one mask, to slow down the heavy transmission, distancing as a social code, not much more has done anything to reduce the impact that has done much of anything.

    The good news, we are developing immune response to this virus which will lessen its impact. The bad news, if the variations become more virulent, we are going to be chasing our tails.

    In the future for me, I will be wearing a single mask only when spit can reach me, ie distancing and only with strangers, and only during virus season, whenever that is. I will be getting my old person flu shot and whatever coronavirus shot settles out. I wonder if a coronavirus shot will protect from the coronavirus colds. I will fight these little suckers every way I can that makes sense. I will not take the “oh well” attitude that it is okay to just die rather than fighting this sucka.

            It is true that it has not been isolated properly. When he says it exists, I understand it to mean that it is simply a novel coronavirus, which it very well could be. Most coronaviruses are quite mild, which this is for most of the population.

The scent but not the flower. Or better yet, the flower and the scent (economic and political freedom), but not the stem, leaves, and roots that make them possible.

    A Bill of Rights but no Bill of Duties? And no strong culture to make up the deficit? That is what made America viable in earlier generations. America was great because it was good as De Tocqueville said.

    You think that Blacks would be too embarrassed to be against this? Well if so, you’re projecting again because they’re not. And of course communists (and liberals are communists now) are outraged on their behalf. Blacks have the right to “peacefully protest (mostly)”. This is what normal people call a riot.

    Some Blacks in Portland were outraged when Antifa burned a fried chicken joint that they liked. I was outraged when they wrote ACAB on the Elk statue. We all like different things. We’re all people as Rulo says, just different sub species with different destinies. The second clause is not from Rulo.

      Oh, knock it off already with me, Vlad. I’m cranky enough about this verdict without you making it worse. Go pick on someone else. I’m proud of my race & culture. That doesn’t mean I approve of children being burnt alive in crematoria when the fucking nazis ran out of zyklon gas to at least kill them first.

      That’s the ghastly phantasmagoria you dwell in – pogroms, mass murder and final solutions. That shit will eat your soul if you don’t wake up. Maybe more of us need to tell you this. You pick on me because I say this.

      Or is it because I’m proud of my nazi-killing ancestors? Yes, I’m proud. My gramps had a hole in his leg from a German heavy machine gun and I’d touch it and he’d tell me the stories. He didn’t surrender, he fought, his brothers fought, whole villages were exterminated but they ran to the hills and fought. Hunger, cold and fear, but they fought. And won. Get it? And if push comes to shove, I’ll fight too and God help me, against creeps and ghouls that advocate mass murder and extermination. National Socialist, what a dirty, shameful thing to be.

      Go drink some schnapps and listen to Wagner, and make love to your wife if you have one. That’s what I’ll do. It’s never too late to change, Janos. Step back from the abyss.

    “The problem in defense is how far you can go [in military spending] without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without.”
    – President Dwight Eisenhower, January 18, 1953

    —-

    In 1953, America could not fathom what it has become in 2021.

    MSM talks regretfully of the $2,000,000,000,000 spent on the 20-year Afghan War. Nobody ever says, “To whom? Where is the $2T now?” Nope. $2T spoken like it evaporated. MIC spends conjured US$ on their geo-political agenda ran for very handsome profit by their corporations – and put the USA residents on hook for the whole sham.

    When few saw, Eisenhower knew where this was headed.

        Funny how in the world wars so many top American generals and Admirals were of German Heritage, from Ike to Nimitz, from Pershing to Carl Spaatz.

        Remarkably succinct, and very well-said Yohannon.

        His warnings were prescient.

        I’ve notice that many who rise to high positions, eventually try to “clean” up or “fix” things–yet they themselves could not have risen to powerful positions if they were not an accomplished member of the corruption they now seek to correct. “Yes, I was bad, but not let’s do good together”. Isn’t that the way of this world?

    One “over reaction” by a cop has been judged to step over the de jure bounds of law enforcement. A jury of 6 Whites and 6 Non-Whites said it was too much.

    I think the number one thing to come out of this is a societal judgement that the militarization of the police might be too much. When I see the riots with their rows and rows of police and mobs of rioters, I think that the country is in huge trouble. No amount of policing is going to stop the Blacks in their drive to destroy America. It reminds me of a war, it is a war. Further militarization is going to destroy what social fabric is left.

    Police unions all over America are going to react to this. “What the hell do you want from us”? Cops are going to quit, “I have been betrayed by the people I am supposed to protect”, “I do not know what to do, I do my job as trained and I get clobbered by a perp death”, “The scum have won this one”.

    Right now, civic experiments are happening that defund the police in some cities. Already the experiments are a failure as the crime rates in these cities are skyrocketing. The idiotic hopes of the liberals that our society is comprised of picked on benign folks is a joke. We are a violent mess that the thin blue line just barely keeps in control. Today is a blow to that thin blue line.

    I am listening to all the politicians right now congratulating the prosecutor Ellison on his great job of getting the bad cop. The arrogance of these “victors” was sickening.

    A jury found that Chauvin was a bad cop. The consequences of this verdict are far reaching and dangerous.

    The best damn news the cartels have had in awhile. Watch now as the US morphs into Mexico.

    If I was a cop, my resignation papers would be in tomorrow.

    • BackRowHeckler April 20, 2021 at 6:25 pm #

      Your last sentence says it all JAZ.

      The upshot of all this will be more mayhem, bloodshed and disorder in the cities, making them worse sh#tholes than they already are. If I was a cop with less than 10 years on the job, I’d resign. More than 10 years I’d keep my head down, do as little as possible, not stick my neck out, and collect my pension asap.

      Anybody who remains living in a city with a population of any size is a goddam fool. Cops aren’t going to protect you, you are prey, you are a target, you are on your own.

        Biden’s gang has done NOTHING, Harris has actually refused to take on responsibility for the border.

        Conflicting messages from Biden and “the WH” are showing that he is not in control. Two examples, the Border assignment to Harris being ignored and two, over the weekend Biden stated the kids at the border was a crisis because there was just two many things to do there. Today, Psaki backed off that statement representing the WH saying he didn’t mean it.

        It gives me a warm fuzzy knowing that there are so many problems going on and the only Democratic reaction to it is to do nothing except emote bullshit.

        But, nevermind me, what are your thoughts about Legal weed from a Libertarian perspective? Should we have the Legal Right to make morally Wrong choices and with THC specifically?

        • Yohannon April 20, 2021 at 8:02 pm #

          Yeah sure, but where does it stop? Some ruin themselves with even this, what to speak of the hard stuff.

          I can’t accept Libertarianism. Our fallen nature is too strong. And being narrow can protect – that’s how fallen we are, alas.

          Did you read Messianic’s teacher? He’s good. The doctrine of Eternal Hell has a definite corrective function for many, but it loses many by its twisting of the nature of God.

          It may have been an honest translation mistake by St Jerome. Yet his ascetic ferocity might have moved him to make that mistake. There is a hidden current in Christianity, especially in the East, that teaches all will be saved in the End.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 20, 2021 at 8:17 pm #

            Of course the standard answer is that alcohol is infinity times more destructive than is weed.

I don’t really smoke the stuff but my pal is a weed expert and I let him tend twelve plants in my garden. The buds are like your forearm and he’s got the best varieties out there.

        It sounds like your bud knows what he’s doing. I’ve never been a green thumb myself.

        A friend of mine has finally rec’d the Health Canada clearance to produce CBD oil. They have operations in Vancouver & Calgary. I think that he’s gonna be rich.

        [Note: CBD is not psycho-active. CBD is purely medicinal. THC is the psycho-active chemical in marijuana.]

    Gutfeld excoriated for slyly suggesting that Chauvinist might have been innocent but he’s glad he went down for selfish reasons.

    Judge Jeannine Pirro (she’s dead to me) was outraged. Chauvin was found guilty. That’s it – he’s guilty. This is another “all in or you’re out” moment, just like Stop the Steal. Prepare to lose more respect for Sean and alas, Tucker too. He’s been great lately too….

    At early brony (my little pony) events, little girls showed up (probably inappropriate). But it does look like something for little kids, so why did men get involved? Some kind of deep programming that attracts them or are they attracted because of previous programming?

    At one early Furry event, a woman thought it was a pet conference and volunteered along with her therapy dog. Bet she got out of there quick, even if the dog liked it.

    What is the relationship, if any, between Bronies and Furries? I don’t know. There is so much that is not known!

    They are saying the Bronies have gone over to the Dark side of White Nationalism while the Furries have embraced the side of the Bush’s Better Angels, namely perversion.

    Maybe Puck can clear this up.

    • malthuss April 21, 2021 at 10:44 am #

      Oh, him.

      I was just reading about the famous Detroit, Michigan born screenplay writer Stirling Silliphant, who wrote the script for the academy award winning 1967 movie In the Heat of the Night. If there ever was a ‘magic negro’, it was Sidney Poitier in this movie, as a Northern big city Black detective in a ‘racist’ Mississippi town, who solves a murder in spite of all the White bungling and ‘hateful’ locals he is surrounded by.

      About a year and half later after this movie’s release, on Feb 12, 1969, Silliphant’s only White son, 18 year old Loren Silliphant, was murdered in Hollywood, California by a Negro in what appeared to be a home invasion. Chester Allen Johnson, a 23 year old Northern Negro from Jackson, Michigan, ‘burst into’ Loren’s apartment according to witnesses who were present, slapped Loren and pushed him up against a wall, and demanded heroin. When Loren, not surprisingly, said he didn’t have any, Johnson executed him with a single bullet to the chest.

      A few days later Johnson would murder a White dentist, named Olson, in an Oakland carjacking.

      • Tate April 21, 2021 at 11:42 am #

        There will be plenty of events like that in the near future as The Community feels emboldened and endeavors to think it can act out with impunity. But cops can and will defend themselves. And as cities devolve into a guignol of bloodshed and squalor, I see any whites remaining in them getting out asap. It already might be too late for them.

    The upshot, for now, is that white liberalism has given black America permission to act violently and destructively, to disobey the law, to oppose officers attempting to enforce the law, and to justify the whole package of uncivil behavior on the grounds that “systemic racism” and “white supremacy” are the forces that keep black Americans from thriving.

    The forces of ‘systemic racism’ and ‘white supremacy’ go back to slavery.
    They go back to the inability of white people to believe black people are their equals.
    Until the US faces that nothing will change.
    I know I’m an outsider looking in, but sometimes they can see clearer. Multiculturalism works in many places around the world, it just has to start from the commitment to treat everybody as a human being. Jesus Christ had good ideas along these lines.

      No, it is the Black folks that do not believe they are the equals of Whites. The Blacks have allowed themselves to be treated as children for generations. Every tool the liberals have used to try to incentivize upward mobility has been only partially effective.

      There are large elements of the Community that just plain do not want to fit in to our society. What to do with the problem is the no. 1 issue ofbthe immediate future.

      BTW, where has multiculturalism been successful, where all groups participate and receive benefits equally?

      • Yohannon April 21, 2021 at 12:08 am #

        There is no equality. Where is it? I’ve never seen it outside the mathematics and the law – both excoriated as being White and therefore worthless. It doesn’t exist on this plane of existence.

      • Tekapo April 21, 2021 at 3:03 am #

        There are large elements of the Community that just plain do not want to fit in to our society.

        Perhaps it is understandable that – after generations of discrimination and racism – Black Americans have no interest in fitting into a society or culture defined for them by White People.

        “If you behaved just like White People then we would find you okay” just doesn’t cut it any more.

        And note that I am not some bleeding-heart leftie who slashes his wrists over unending Black disadvantage under White America – to my mind Black America has a really self-destructive culture and I don’t know what the answer is.

        But I do wish the most racist rats on here would cut out the victim blaming, and all the totally discredited nonsense about lower average IQ. It just makes you look like NASCAR hayseeds living in a second-rate trailer-park outside Biloxi (which I concede could be very true).

        • Trean April 21, 2021 at 4:06 am #

          If, as you say, they do not have lower IQs then does that not make their behaviour even more abhorrent. They would therefore be conscious of behaving like rampaging baboons rather than humans. At least with the developmentally disabled they do have a reason for acting beyond the normal range of human behaviour.
          The harsh truth is until they held fully to account for their behaviour and responsible for their own well being nothing will change.

          Racism is alive and well in America but its not the average Joe Six pack white person that is racist its black people themselves who only view the world through the prism of black skin.
          I would also suggest idiotic comments about white trailer trash make you even worse than a racist.
          Black culture is on trial here and has been for thirty years.
          The idea that one can be a gangsta thug or a sports figure and not much else has been pushed endlessly that and the ridiculous jungle love narrative.

        • Wizard of the Saddle April 21, 2021 at 1:01 pm #

          If telling the truth about the perpetual dysfunction of black America is “racist” then a lifetime of negative experiences having to deal with the deleterious outcomes of antisocial black behavior makes those of us who point it out “racist for a reason” I suppose.

          So, if blacks want to be held in higher esteem by whites, they should shape up and stop behaving like savages.

      One problem

      There are no comedians, let alone great comedians left. Lefty comedians are not funny. Funny is making fun of human characteristics , or people’s quirks, not attacking individuals for political purposes.

      Have you had the pleasure of watching a Dean Martin roast. Or any of the Correspondent dinner roasts? I watched the last Obama correspondents dinner . Trump was invited. He was not teased, roasted, he was attacked viciously. If it had been me,I would have told those liberal SOBs to F off and left. It was a preview of the worst period of comedy ever, the era of non-comedy.

        I can agree comedy is taking a hit. That’s the cancel culture talking. They take satire seriously and no feelings are allowed to be hurt ever, which is the death knell for good comedy.

        Ricky Gervais isn’t kow-towing to the wokies though so far. He does his thing and ignores them, even though he gets attacked a fair amount.

    The eternal unquenchable fire I mentioned earlier was not a reference to hellfire. No. Rather it was a reference to the fires of hell that burn in this life and on this plane of existence. I was told to take a cold shower. But my only little semi snarky and casually provocative point within that exact moment was that a cold shower cannot do anything to alleviate the psychic fires that rage throughout life. If you would allow me to I would like to share with you my thoughts about the perceived conundrum of an eternal hellfire and thus eternal punishment that is being discussed. I could probably write volumes on the topic but will try to be very brief. It is my belief that God does not plan to burn people in hell forever. It is also my belief that the Lake of Fire is a symbol for all that which exists outside the will of God. Remember. Per the Fall. We are already naturally living outside of the will of God in this plane of existence by default. Death and the netherworld, what we typically think of as hell, exists in our realm. But the totality of the Kingdom of Heaven does not. Nor can we fully connect with God here. So with that I find Revelations may offer some insights.

    Revelations 20:11-15 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

    Revelations is filled with intricate and elaborate symbolism, riddles, metaphors, analogies, evocations, and formulas. In my view the Lake of Fire again represents separation from God. So Death, Hell, and all souls not reconciled to Him will be separated out. For He is eternal Life and a new Heaven and Earth will be without Death and Hell. Will those who are in the Lake of Fire eventually come out and ascend to Heaven? Perhaps. If they choose to maybe. But I don’t know for sure. And we can’t know everything with certainty because we are finite.

    • tucsonspur April 21, 2021 at 4:45 am #

      Thanks for being brief. God must be held accountable for all the human misery, suffering and torture in this world. Yes, a cruel and sadistic God must answer for His devilish ways.

      We are finite now, but would we become infinite if we got out of the Lake of Fire and ascended to Heaven, and then know everything with certainty? I suspect that God might reserve that privilege for Himself wouldn’t He? Or does everybody become all knowing?

      I prefer the Crystal Spring of Clarity and Spirituality.

      • O.G. Hawkins April 21, 2021 at 8:47 am #

      • SoftStarLight April 21, 2021 at 9:59 am #

        But I can understand why you feel that way as I have in the past blamed God for my problems too. But we know the difference between right and wrong and often choose wrongly. So again, there is no easy answer to allay your apprehensions and misgivings. Sometimes you just have to let go and have faith. Easy to say, hard to do, but not knowing all things I guess there isn’t much of a choice oftentimes. I am glad that you are open to Spirituality though because otherwise we could not have this conversation. In regards to the question will everybody become all knowing and therefore presumably more “god like” I offer the following verses which provide some clues.

        1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

        1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

        • tucsonspur April 21, 2021 at 6:22 pm #

          Thanks for that. Sometimes I think that my Spirituality rises far higher than that of the so called ‘religious’.

            Universal Reconciliation was front and center for the first 400 years. After this pagans were converted who brought in pagan ideas [ hades ] of the time after separation from the body, and this idea was preached to scare people into the church instead of teaching the love of the Creator God for His creation. It is no wonder many only know Him as a tyrant [ when His supposed spokesmen are misrepresenting His character – charitably = ignorantly ]. Then the same ‘Angel’s of light’ dreamed up all on their own indulgences to raise revenue.

            We own and are responsible for what we create. These will be held accountable as surely as God holds Himself accountable to His own Law.

    The mask is one of the most obvious and noticeable outward expressions of submission to the will of the State and public avowal of the new Liturgy. Because of its visibility the mask is more critical to the evangelism and growth of the Covidian Death Cult than any vaccine. Perpetual masking and the public erasure of the human face is the agenda. So whatever kids are being forced to do in school today to conform to the Covidian Death Cult is precisely what you will be mandated by force to do tomorrow in the confines of your home if they truly get what they want. Free human faces allow for free contact. In their world there is to be no freedom or contact they aren’t aware of or have no real control of.

    • Slugoon April 21, 2021 at 4:46 am #

      I’m not even sure it’s a conscious expression of submission, SSL. I don’t think people have any ability to think critically or do anything other than what an ‘expert’ tells them to.

      When I pick my boy up from school, there are probably 1-2% of parents that don’t wear a mask, including me, obviously. Last term I’d say it was around 50% but then the school headmistress unilaterally ‘demanded’ everybody wear them, so most people now do.

      However, the second they leave the school, these exact same parents can be seen huddled together in the adjacent playground in groups, maskless. So tell me, are they afraid of a virus or are they just afraid of going against the orthodoxy?

      The teachers, having walked around all day indoors, mixing with said 300 or so children, also put a mask on to lead the children out in their lines! How is that anything other than pure optics?! It’s total horseshit, absolutely nothing to do with containing transmission.

      Don’t ask certain members of this board for evidence though. I keep pushing for an explanation of why there is no correlation between places with the most egregious mask enforcement and those that are laissez-faire but it falls silent. Every time. Someone said something about ‘spit’. For fuck’s sake. Like everybody went round spitting on each other before March 2020.

        YOu bet it’s optics, and virtue-signaling, none of which has anything to do with health or safety. And it is harming the children. They need to see faces. It’s how we communicate – expression.

        Wearing a dirty mask all day is beyond idiotic. And they think it’s keeping them healthy. Unbelievable.

      • SoftStarLight April 21, 2021 at 10:12 am #

        I agree Slugoon. Much of what is being transmitted to us from our “betters” in regards to the mask and masking behavior is meant to be subconscious. That is actually more profound and life altering than open and conspicuous propaganda. But it is also definitely about preventing natural social cues through facial expressions. The less people are transmitting social signals to each other the less interference there is to the signals that the approved sources of information and cues are emitting. They are imprisoning us within our own minds and bodies or at least that is what they want to do.

    • tucsonspur April 21, 2021 at 5:14 am #

      ‘Perpetual masking and the public erasure of the human face is the agenda.’

      With all due respect SSL, that’s a giant load of BS.

      ‘Covidian Death Cult’? Yeah, it sounds catchy and spooky, good around the campfire on a cold, dark night, especially around Halloween. Good to roll the blog.

      What about the ‘Suicide/Murder Death Cult’, those who dare death and kill others by doing so?

      Here’s another in a list of growing examples who once thought like you:

        Yahoo Nooz framing owns you.

        Masks don’t work, a point of scientific fact.

        Also, getting Covid over 70, well, that is the age range where it can be bad. Just like anything of that nature one could get when over 70.

        Critical thinking is near dead. And although it is hilarious in many respects (this being an example), it is also quite sad.

        As The Donald would say.

          Think for yourself, don’t always follow the crowd.

          The mask is a barrier. Some virus can get through, some lands on the barrier. The mask helps. Scientific fact.

        Man in his 70s catches a nasty flu and spends a few days feeling ill. Wow. Groundbreaking stuff. Let’s shut down the world economy and put the globe under house arrest. Brilliant.

        Younger people are indeed getting it. My brother in law had it, three days in bed. His girlfriend had it too. Got some sniffles. God forbid we allow that happen to anybody else.

        Tucson says it’s a ‘scientific fact’ that masks ‘work’. How’s that going in France? All I see is people constantly fiddling with their muzzles. All that alleged viral load merely moved onto their hands and fingers.

        • MaryV April 21, 2021 at 10:01 am #

          It’s idiotic.

          Moving a mask on and off your face doesn’t do anything. A bandana on your face is a joke. Breathing in your own effluvia is super harmful.

          Hell, dentists are seeing what they call covid-mouth which is similar to meth-mouth from it. Ew.

          And, it can cause irreversible brain damage. I would assume that could explain some of the insane behavior and ideas by the Covid Cult.

        • tucsonspur April 21, 2021 at 5:04 pm #

          Tucson said that masks help, not ‘work’. Are the quotes meant to show that you’re aware of the difference?

          • Slugoon April 22, 2021 at 1:17 pm #

            Is there?

      • MaryV April 21, 2021 at 9:59 am #

        The idea that me not being vaxxed or wearing a mask is harming others is codependent thinking. Codependence is a disorder. You might spend some time researching it.

        I am responsible for me. That is adulthood. I studied the Cluster B disorders for decades now, so I spotted this emotional and psychological manipulation early on.

        Masks don’t work. There is plenty of scientific data proving they are harmful, and none that proves they keep you safe from any virus.

        Break out of the disordered thinking, tucson. You can do it.

        • tucsonspur April 21, 2021 at 5:45 pm #

          It is not codependent thinking. It is responsible thinking, thinking that recognizes the fact that we live among other people and should have concerns about their welfare in addition to our own.

          ‘I am responsible for me. That is adulthood’

          That’s only part of it. It’s incomplete and selfish if you feel no responsibility at all towards your fellow man.

          Masks help, even if they don’t fully ‘work’.

          Your studies seem to have put you in a special, selfish isolation tent, what with your shallow definition of adulthood above.

          Grow up, Mary.

          • MaryV April 21, 2021 at 7:53 pm #

            You have been manipulated by the MSM into speaking this way, because not only is it nonsensical, it is disordered.

            No, you are not responsible for other people. You, your children. That’s it.

            Any psychologist will agree with me. I am not responsible for my next door neighbor. I choose to be good to them, but it doesn’t include harming myself in order to do so.

            I will not vax to make you feel more comfy. I will not mask to make you feel more comfy. Your comfort is your responsibility.

      • MaryV April 21, 2021 at 10:03 am #

        Another one who thinks people saying they got Covid19 is some sort of ‘gotcha’.

        How sad.

        • tucsonspur April 22, 2021 at 2:16 am #

          Okay, I should have said ‘concern’ again as I did in the first line.

          Of course you are not ‘responsible’ for your neighbor. But any psychologist or sociologist will tell you that concern for our neighbors makes for a better society.

          It is you being nonsensical, and stupid frankly, to spout off like a know it all, pompous ass and say that I have been manipulated by the MSM. I Can’t be manipulated, it’s just my nature.

          Save your comfort for some poor slob who needs it. I’m used to the bed of nails. And stop trying to elevate and fortify yourself with that bombastic bravado, “I will not vax, I will not mask”. Oh, what a heroine you are! You sound like a spoiled little brat.

          • MaryV April 22, 2021 at 7:32 pm #

            Not getting a shot or wearing a mask is not being a bad neighbor.

            That’s the entire point.

            The ones that perceive it is, have a problem. Perhaps a disorder.

            You sound like a toddler throwing a tantrum.

      • SoftStarLight April 21, 2021 at 10:22 am #

        Well are you sure it is total BS tucson? I didn’t say the virus is not real or a scam. But was pointing out the issue of the mask itself. I still believe in freedom. If you do feel the mask is protecting you then please do wear it. But wearing one should not be compulsory. It never has been throughout our disease ridden history so why now? Question these health experts and public officials the way you question God.

            The black girl with the knife is a separate subject. The above quote is what I was referring to. You really believe Chauvin will walk free? I simply do not believe that’s possible in contemporary America.

      • tucsonspur April 21, 2021 at 6:41 pm #

            Several times they mention a black girl who was shot while trying to stab another black girl, after the Floyd trial. The video, which they mention, later confirmed that was the case, the cop had to shoot to save a life.

        • MaryV April 21, 2021 at 7:57 pm #

    • benr April 21, 2021 at 9:50 am #

      I doubt Chauvin can get a fair trial in America.
      They convicted him of killing a man who was going to expire without direct medical intervention by his own drug addiction Narcan was his only hope.
      George Floyd was a poster child for exactly what is wrong with America and the Black “community” in particular.
      Some do bad shit and expect to not get in trouble for it now because of what racism, slavery or they are petulant children to indulged.
      My thought is good riddance to the pos it was only a matter of time until this scum bag held a gun to another pregnant lady and robbed her or worse.
      America is gone we are in the throws of a Bolshevik take over and this has been done over and over around the world.

    • Wizard of the Saddle April 21, 2021 at 1:07 pm #

      My feeling was that only the manslaughter charge had any merit, and only because Chauvin and the other cops had Floyd cuffs and under control, so he probably could have dispensed with the knee after a minute or two. I still do not believe that the knee killed Floyd. The drugs and a bad ticker and poor judgment and a life of crime killed Floyd.

      But even the manslaughter charge is debatable. Ultimately, the goal of the Left is to instill FEAR into white police officers so that they will not enforce the law when scum break the law. This is all a part of the project to break down the country so they can replace this society and government with one on the communist model.

    • tully April 21, 2021 at 7:07 pm #

      The reaction to this has been mind boggling. So many people up in arms, protests picking up steam over a cop doing his job to protect another girl about to be knifed. How is this wrong?

      Then the mother and aunt start granting interviews about how wonderful their daughter/niece was. I am wondering why they weren’t raising the child, as she was in foster care. Has anyone noticed the grieving parents/relatives come out of the woodwork in these situations? And when you start checking them out, they had very little involvement in raising their now deceased child. Michael Brown’s parents come to mind.

      Then Labron James wades in by posting a photo of the cop who shot the girl on his Twitter saying “You’re next” followed by an hourglass then #accountabilty. He took the post down, but there are screen captures on line.

      Can’t he be charged with something for this?

    Last nite in Portland Mostly Peaceful Protesters roaming the streets smashing windows and vandalising businesses, celebrating apparently Derek Chauvin’s conviction. For some reason they focused in on Starbuck’s restaurants, smashing plateglass, kicking in doors and so on.

    I used to think Starbuck’s was down with struggle.

    At one point a Mostly Peaceful Protester took a swing at a cop, and the cops responded to this affront with utmost severity.

    Ahahahahaha

I hope these mobs trash every Starbucks in America. Not because I support crime in the streets, but because our elites won’t stop the crime in the streets. For that reason, those who enable and egg on the criminals should also be the first to suffer the wrath and depredations of the criminals.

          There is a time for peace and a time for war. Those who preach peace during war time are veritable murderers.

          If that’s what Christ taught, well then He wasn’t a universal teacher. I have no idea, nor do you. We know so little about what he believed. The apostles just repeated the same stories four times.

          If you believe in His promise, then the Holy Spirit guided the Church Fathers in the development of the Doctrine of Just War. But since you are anti-Church type Protestant, you may not.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 21, 2021 at 7:50 pm #

            I am not a type, Yoho. I am a man.

            I believed, from a small child listening to Eric Burdon & The Animals’ Sky Pilot on AM radio in the car, that man could make heaven on Earth. Long-hairs would stop Viet Nam and then run the world proper.

            Of course I grew up and experienced the Real world and quit being so naive. I changed.

            But so did the world. 1969-1971 was Peak Hippie Hope. Charles Manson notwithstanding, there was a general optimism that the Boomers were going to make a difference and run the world Better than The Establishment. George Harrison hosted his all-star concert at MSG to raise funds and awareness for the starving in Bangla Desh.

            I got Jesus’ message. I Really believe that I do. Peace is the answer. God will do the Justice-meting around here. I am to turn the other cheek to allow my assailant to strike me again. This realm is fleeting and not worth warring over. But war there shall be!

          • Yohannon April 21, 2021 at 8:33 pm #

            Yes, Christianity is anti-life, but pro-Life. Thus the pacifist Amish and Mennonites pray for civil authorities who do their fighting for them.

            Pacifist Quakers in contrast, have contempt for civil authorities and always have.

            It’s not easy to be a true pacifist. It takes great courage as Gandhi said. Most let other men take the sin for them, as the Amish do. A compromise. At least they pray for them, unlike the Quakers.

          • messianicdruid April 21, 2021 at 8:47 pm #

            I am not a protestant nor anti-church. I am for the Apostles Doctrine because they demonstrated with signs following the source of their inspiration. Changing laws and times [ ie: usurping God’s laws ] was not given to us. We can enforce God’s law, not make up our own.

          • messianicdruid April 21, 2021 at 8:58 pm #

            We know far more of the Teaching of Mohammad, Buddha, and even the mythical Krishan (5000 years ago). Why didn’t they wrote more things down? Or are the Sufis right: Christ taught the way to the other world, but Mohammad taught the Way in both worlds.

            Because he was a forerunner of CRT. His hate filled book has been required reading in colleges for generations. It paved the way for our destruction. How can you know so much and not know this?

            Everything you have is because of the conquest of the Indians. All that you have and all that you are. By right, we should have shrines to these men and be conducting ancestor worship to them.

            So I’ve heard. But not without some force and the threat of more. Satan is Rex Mundi, after all.

            But Americans must accept our history or reject it. They do neither, pretending we didn’t do what we did. Thus the Leftists know our history better than we do.

            I read a great book about a criminal in the early 20th century. He admired the Canadian prisons because they kept ORDER. If you obeyed, you could do your time peacefully without threat from other prisoners or guards. If you acted up, you got flogged according to a strict but exact code by a skilled flogger.

          Why do Black males seem to be the ones that get into trouble and end up in cop confrontations which are lethal?

          Why only Blacks? Maybe because they are taught that way? Maybe their culture grows them that way?

          When the percentage of crime is so slanted to one side, of course the need for tighter policing is there. More attitude, more cops, more confrontations, more dying.

          Did you see the heckling rioters in NYC haranguing the diners. Right out of the Maxine Waters play book.

          • JohnAZ April 21, 2021 at 11:43 am #

            A second thought. Think about Blacks and higher education. Affirmative action, plus a lot of crazy college administrators, have made it easy for ill prepared Blacks, and others too including Whites, to get into college.

            Once there, one of two things happen.

            They cannot compete and drop out. Or

            The college lowers their curriculum standard so that their degrees mean nothing.

            A real negative, too, is the attitude from the Black community the kids leave behind. This IS inclusive to Blacks. The community they leave behind, if they become successful, shuns them and labels them as Uncle Toms. Lackeys for Whitey.

            The thing I despise the most about the Democrats is that they encourage this behavior, they want this country divided. It is the source of their power.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder April 21, 2021 at 2:14 pm #

            The second half of your argument (community shunning) I can’t speak to, but that would be a bummer…but the first part…no, most people I knew in college did their thing and have done just fine.

            Never personally saw any standards changed because of color (though I’ve heard about it). That may be different now (25 years later)…but I can’t sign on to that. So many valuable friends and colleagues that have done just fine, color be damned.

      Unfortunately, until there is pushback with real teeth and consequences this will keep moving forward at a rapid pace. A good place to start would be for every police office, firefighter, emergency response personnel, etc. to walk off the job right away. There is no incentive for anyone who has to interact with the public in this way to do their job because if a BIPOC or POC feels slighted even within their own mind they can destroy these peoples’ lives and the full weight of the state will be used to punish and destroy. The State itself needs to be starved out of existence. But we do not have the solidarity or communal wherewithal to pull such a thing off so I am afraid that the psychopath, super predators will continue to reign supreme because they are ultra organized and with almost singular focus pursuing their goals in an any means necessary fashion while we are still having the “who can be nicer and more of a pushover” contests.

    Great article re: The Great Reset and its nefarious goals:

    “The Great Reset” is the latest deceptive euphemism for totalitarian socialism that is being promoted by yet another group of wealthy corporate elitists who think they can centrally plan the entire world economy. They are essentially the ideological heirs of Frederick Engels and his intellectual puppet Karl Marx. “The Great Reset” follows in the rhetorical footsteps of such euphemisms for socialism as “economic democracy,” “social justice,” “liberation theology,” “progressivism,” “market socialism” (an oxymoron, like “jumbo shrimp” or “military intelligence”), “environmentalism,” “fighting climate change,” “sustainable development,” and “green new deal,” to mention just a few.

    The main figure of this movement is wealthy German engineer Klaus Schwab, founder of the “World Economic Forum,” who champions what he calls “transhumanism,” the integration of nanotechnology into the human body so that humans can be controlled remotely by the state.[1] As Ron Paul has noted, “Included in Schwab’s proposal for surveillance [of every citizen] is his idea to use brain scans and nanotechnology to predict, and if necessary, prevent, individuals’ future behavior . This means that anyone whose brain is ‘scanned’ could have his . . . [constitutional] rights violated because a government bureaucrat determines the individual is going to commit a crime.”[2]

    Placed in the hands of politicians, this would create a level of totalitarianism the Soviets could only have dreamed of. In other words, Schwab is reminiscent of that famous twentieth-century German who also fantasized about creating a master race and ruling the world.

    This is nothing new, Antony Mueller points out, as eugenics, which was all the rage among so many ruling class elitists of the early twentieth century “is now called transhumanism.”[3] Among the most prominent late nineteenth-and twentieth-century eugenicists were H.G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Charles Darwin’s son Leonard, John Maynard Keynes, Irving Fisher, Winston Churchill, and Bill Gates, Sr. Bill Gates, Jr. is an enthusiastic funding source for “transhumanism” research and, like his father, is fond of eugenics.

    During a recent “Ted” talk Gates, Jr. complained that “The world today has 6.8 billion people . .. that’s headed up to about 9 billion.” Have no fear, he said, because if “we” do “a really great job on vaccines [with anti-fertility drugs? Poisons?] health care, reproductive health services [including abortion?], we could lower that by perhaps 10 to 15 percent.”[4] That in turn will lower carbon dioxide levels on the planet and address “climate change” as well, said Gates.

            I agree with him on that.

    • JohnAZ April 21, 2021 at 11:11 am #

      Yup, that pretty much says it.

      Do not minimize overpopulation though. The PTB, Gates, for example, use overpopulation as an excuse for their sociology experiments. However, it is real, we are getting close to a threshold, and unless humans adjust a little, it will lead to the Four Horseman, figuratively speaking. Not here, at first, not China, not Russia, not Europe, but developing lands. People are already dying from disease, always will, but changing environments will increase drought, think sub Sahara, think famine, competition for resources, think war, think Ukraine, and of course the result, death.

      Overpopulation reduction by attrition is the best method for everyone. People die, people are born. More newbies, longer lives increases population. Less and shorter decreases. The latter will not be signed up to, so births are the only acceptable control. As we know, the birth rate is low in developed countries and high in underdeveloped countries. BTW, I just defined the border problem. So how do we get Latin America to reduce births to less than replacement? Voluntarily?

      That is the problem. Leftists want control and think that social manipulation is the key. Rightists will say that market forces will regulate the situation. The former indicates pro action the latter reaction.

      IMHO, there is no answer that will satisfy all the folks. Sex will always be more fun than dying. Without a charter to reduce the world birth rate, Mother Nature takes over. She is cruel because her method for control is increasing the death rate.

      Humans do react to the discontinuity between rich and poor. Our southern border is a focal point for people trying to survive. These folks want their share. The folks here are willing to try to help, but within limits. Heck, the entire Browning movement, worldwide, is the result of the have nots wanting to steal from the haves.

      Will America, China, Europe, including Russia, give up its bounty to the Third world?

      When pigs fly!!!

      The have nots are coming, it is a matter of time. Humans are incapable of managing themselves. Mother Nature will take control. Want a plot, a schedule? Read the Revelation.

      • Slugoon April 21, 2021 at 11:52 am #

        Great summary, I have to say. TPTB can see where the road of exponential population growth leads, they’re not stupid. That’s what the Reset is all about in my opinion. Managing the inevitable crash, and the only way to do that on a global scale is to have maximum control over people’s lives and activities.

        The trouble with it for me is that, like Communism, it may sound good in theory but in practice it will lead to nothing more than a hellish, unnatural and miserable existence.

        Let nature do its work. That is how life is for every other living species.

        • JohnAZ April 21, 2021 at 12:20 pm #

          In Genesis, God gives humans the job of managing this planet and gave him the wisdom to do it.

          Since then, humans have not shown the ability to do that, God must have missed a few.

          I think you are right, and I think it has happened many times before, that Mother Nature takes control. It will not be pleasant. I hope enough humans survive to carry on the standard.

      This is all intellectual gibberish from the author. The “Great Reset” is not a commie plot – and it certainly isn’t socialism … the last thing these ultra-wealthy trans-national and anti-democratic capitalists want to see if the world moving to a more social democratic structure, let alone socialism.

      The ‘Great Reset’ is a branding exercise for the WEF – prompted by three currents that the world is recognising: (1) climate change, (2) racism, and (3) the impact of Covid-19. It is yet another version of capitalism with a human face, or “stakeholder capitalism” in the marketing speak from Klaus Schwab (and let’s face it, he’s not getting any younger).

      And the author’s list of paranoid euphemisms are hysterical – everything from “liberation theology” to the “green new deal” … LOL he sure has a lot of things to worry about!

      So I would relax Mary – The Great Reset isn’t world domination by totalitarian socialism, and Bill Gates is not about to come after us with mind-control nanochips in our forced vaccines. Anyway – if they do come after me, I have my tinfoil hat to protect me.

      Not bad, but this is still the definitive article, IMO.

      https://off-guardian.org/2020/10/12/klaus-schwab-his-great-fascist-reset/

      Notice, it not only covers Schwabs bizarre Transhumanist fantasies, and the Corona Hoax (Event 201 wargaming), it also goes into the accompanying Woke Culture the McMedia has been diligently working to create as both a sideshow and means to divide and shape the future he is trying to create:

      “He piously postures as a guardian of woke liberal values, declaring:

      Thinking inclusively goes beyond thinking about poverty or marginalized communities simply as an aberration—something that we can solve. It forces us to realize that ‘our privileges are located on the same map as their suffering’. It moves beyond income and entitlements, though these remain important. Instead, the inclusion of stakeholders and the distribution of benefits expand freedoms for all.”[1]

      The same technique, of a fake “narrative” designed to fool good-thinking citizens into supporting an imperialist capitalist scheme, has been used extensively with regard to climate change.”

      • Tekapo April 21, 2021 at 7:35 pm #

        Our Mr Schwab:

        “Thinking inclusively goes beyond thinking about poverty or marginalized communities simply as an aberration—something that we can solve. It forces us to realize that ‘our privileges are located on the same map as their suffering’. It moves beyond income and entitlements, though these remain important. Instead, the inclusion of stakeholders and the distribution of benefits expand freedoms for all.”

        Sounds all very resetting – so pay proper wages in developing countries where the factories are, provide employees a fair share of corporate profits, rather than just shareholders, or make employees shareholders rather than “stakeholders”, or reduce the price of goods and services, and then also pay more company tax to governments in the nations where the profits are made.

    So they’ve been talking about defunding the police. But why stop there? Maybe we should make murder legal. And while we’re at it, why not make vandalism – which is violence against property – legal as well? Actually, let’s eliminate all laws. Let people defend their own selves.

    No more police departments, no more court system, no more 9-15 Supreme Court judges, no more legislature, no more theft crimes (let people defend their own property), no more white collar crimes (will make people be more careful with their assets).

            I also realize that it does not stop transmission, only the heavy droplet transmission. I average about an hour a week, going shopping mostly.

            If folks had used their heads last year, nothing would have closed down. Of course, when have theLeftists ever been accused of using their heads.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 21, 2021 at 3:16 pm #

            JAZ, you expose an all too-common flaw in Americans analyzing the situation. Americans, by in large (Groucho imitation: ‘and often extra large’), tend to be myopic.

            If the pandemic were a USA-only phenomon, then If folks had used their heads last year, nothing would have closed down. would be an interesting opinion.

            There were lockdowns globally, however. Just about every country on Earth. Do you Really think that a few more masks at the Mall in Des Moines and that would’ve kept the bricks & mortars in biz?

      Well if the police cooperate, maybe they can avoid getting defunded. Blacks blockaded a street yesterday in the suburbs of Minneapolis. They would let a guy go to his own home. He got in a shouting and shoving match with them – until the police came and arrested HIM. Those cops just joined BLM.

            I’ll just let it speak for itself then.

            I agree there is a lot of bad stuff happening … but my comment was on the “Buy Lotsa Mansions” meme – which I think is a ridiculous one.

            There might or might not be a few people making big bucks out of the BLM movement – who knows (but it’s not proven at all) – but that isn’t a good reason to denigrate the whole BLM movement, which I think comprises genuine people fighting genuine issues.

            So there.

          • Slugoon April 22, 2021 at 1:12 pm #

            But they aren’t genuine people fighting for genuine issues. The whole movement started because of police shootings (I think). In every case it involved an ex-con, on drugs, committing a crime, police get called, then the perp either brandishes a weapon at them or resists arrest. It isn’t difficult. White people get shot too.

            We’re maybe not going to agree on this but I am firmly of the belief that everything this organisation does will do nothing to improve the lot of black people and only serve to increase racial tension. I think this is pretty clearly happening everywhere they go and it’s all aided and abetted by the government. It’s astonishing to me that it’s got this far.

            How is the ‘fight against discrimination and injustice’ going over there? Are you all ‘united’ yet? Is it improving Whites’ view of Blacks? Is smashing stuff up, stealing and setting fire to things and shouting at white people to get out of town a good strategy?

      “”Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons. We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y’all need help. I mean that sincerely.”

    One comment on the Yeadon interview.

    IMHO, the first order effect of this disease is the surges of cases, hospitalizations and deaths that have occurred. Three with a fourth potentially developing? Everything else is secondary. What causes this transmission?

    How does flu transmit? Fomites and spit exchange. Interesting that Covid seems less transmittable as fomites do not really pass it along well.

    So we have flu or Crud surges. I do not want either one.

    Yeadon made a statement I thought was ludicrous. He said that asymptomatic and pre symptomatic transmission does not exist. Transmission does not exist in the public venue as only symptomatic really sick people can pass the virus and they are all at home. He acknowledged that hospitals and nursing homes might be infection sites.

    My immediate question is,

    Then where do all these surges come from, why does the first order effect happen. These surges explode onto the scene!

    I do agree with his statement about variants, our immune systems are not as stupid as Leftist politicians want you to believe.

    The effects of vaccines running rampant around peoples bodies is interesting. A very tiny percentage of folks seem to be sensitive to the mRNA. Allergies? Genetics manipulation? My guess is immune reaction to the creation of the spike proteins. Remember that folks react differently to the actual virus, depending on the genetics of their immune systems.

    44000 test patients and millions of recipients show very few side effects, percentage wise. So far.

    All you anti vaxxers, look at it on the bright side. If the doomers are right, and all the vaxxed folks die in the next two years, the overpopulation problem is over. Just in time for the asteroid to hit.

    • Night Owl April 21, 2021 at 12:55 pm #

      The statement you found ludicrous is also confirmed by Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg.

    • Yohannon April 21, 2021 at 1:31 pm #

      When one is sick, one has a surfeit of the virus, and the body seeks to expel it by coughing and sneezing. When one isn’t sick, one just has a normal amount of viruses and thus the body is at peace, not sneezing and coughing – and not infecting others.

      You need to ask yourself how we could have made it this far if we were as terrified as you are of other people’s bodies. We wouldn’t have.

      The Perfect is the Enemy of the Good. You want absolute security and thus you are an enemy of the good society.

      • JohnAZ April 21, 2021 at 6:25 pm #

        You still have not answered the first order question. Where did the surges come from, the overloaded hospitals and spikes in the death rate?

        • Yohannon April 21, 2021 at 8:13 pm #

          By drawing a line around something and making people focus on it. Modern people can’t deal with death. People are always dying and you can’t bear it. Because it means you’re going to die too.

            George Carlin certainly understood that. I posted his piece on ‘euphamisms’ below.

        • MaryV April 21, 2021 at 8:15 pm #

          42 hospitals closed last year because they were empty. Thousands of medical personnel have been laid off because of lack of work, since hospitals would not allow elective surgeries to go forward.

          Billions of dollars were spent on make-shift hospitals and they remained empty.

          People went in and video’d empty waiting rooms and ERs. They were removed from YouTube almost immediately.

          People were threatened with arrest for going into hospitals and videoing, showing they were empty.

          Front line personnel made endless dance videos, intricately chroeographed, which required hours and hours of practice, to dazzle Americans and make us hold them up as heroes.

          When MSM tried to show the ‘horror’ in a hospital, they showed one guy working on a dummy.

          There were no more deaths in 2020 than 2019 and less that 2018, according to the CDC’s statistics, which they may have altered now, because suddenly they are counting 2020 and 2021 together in order to up the appearance of number of deaths. There was a steep rise in suicides though, and people who died because they couldn’t get elective surgeries.

          The overall population fatality rate remains under 1% by the CDC’s own numbers.

          Not sure what else I can tell you.

            We had herd immunity last June, since viruses move through a population in 70 days.

            That’s when the ‘cases’ stuff started.

            Cases aren’t anything. A case is when you are sick. These were so-called positive tests. But the test is flawed, a capful of beer tests positive for COVID19 using it.

            So what were ‘cases’? Another way to fool people into thinking the ‘crud’ was still around. They managed to keep that psyops going through the summer when there were really no deaths or illness, and then banked on the regular cold and flu season kicking in again to keep the ruse going.

            This ruse will never ever stop until people stop believing the bullshit.

        • MaryV April 22, 2021 at 10:48 am #

          The stupidity about how our immune systems work is astounding.

          Early on in the scamdemic, I listened to all Dr. Ionidis had to say. He is an immunologist at Stanford. He said it was irresponsible and dangerous to close schools, and he was right.

          Whatever viruses or bugs go through every year, kids need to be exposed.

          Just as always. But if you lock everyone away, and weaken their immune systems, guess what happens when everyone suddenly emerges?

          It’s too bad that GA doesn’t understand how ridiculous her question about immunity is, below. All I can do is shake my head.

          If it weren’t destroying civilization as we know it, it might be entertaining to watch the hubris of mere humans, thinking they can control the forces of nature with masks and jabs.

            “It’s too bad that GA doesn’t understand how ridiculous her question about immunity is, below. All I can do is shake my head.”

            I know that’s all you can do. It would be harder to answer the question.

            You don’t know which way this coronavirus is going to go, whether it will recede in virulence or the opposite. So if it doesn’t recede in virulence and we don’t get herd immunity (as we haven’t with flu or the common cold – we just live with them), you don’t know where it will go. Neither do I.

            And you haven’t explained why herd immunity isn’t working in Sweden as they thought it would. You said 70 days to ‘run through’ a population, I think?

            I think schools should have been kept open. Or maybe gone the Swedish way, with primary and lower secondary left open, and upper secondary and university moved online as felt appropriate.

      • JohnAZ April 21, 2021 at 6:12 pm #

        No asymptomatic spread, no presymptomatic spread, only transmitted by people sick at home or in the hospital. Hey, everyone, take off your masks, kiss and hug, cough and sneeze all you want, forget about the vaccines. It has all been a figment of your imagination, the last year. The surges were imaginary, there were no runs in the hospitals, those old folks with the trivial disease that Cuomo sent to nursing homes did not kill anyone, hundreds of thousands of already ill folks were not finished of by anything extraordinary.

        I am convinced, I hope you have luck with everyone else.

          I’m guessing India is currently full of Bollywood actors pretending to die outside hospitals pretending to have no more beds, and pretending to be running out of oxygen, with other actors pretending to be their grieving relatives. And yet other actors cremating pretend dead people in the traditional way wherever they can find space.

          Same phenomenon in Brazil, I gather, where actors in Manaus recently contended for Oscars by pretending to manually ventilate other actors pretending to be patients when the ventilators stopped working (because the actors pretending to be doctors pretended they’d run out of oxygen).

          You wouldn’t be up to them.

          But my favourite takeaway from this week is that (a) the Sars-Cov-2 virus doesn’t exist, but (b) if it does it’s mutating every few hours.

I mean would you even know where to start with manually ventilating someone whose ventilator had just gone pfutt? Personally my acting skills wouldn’t be up to it.

    Commensurate with upcoming Earth Day celebrations the Gov announced the State of Ct would be “Carbon Free” by 2030, only 8.5 years from now. We’ll be needing around 25,000 windmills to replace our nuclear and natgas fired power generating plants. So far there are 2 working windmills in the state that I know of. Not one reporter in the room asked the gov where the other 24,998 windmills were coming from.

        Honestly, Mary, do you remember last year when they said they knew how long Covid survived on various surfaces. Copper was the shortest time, cardboard, steel, marble, they had them all timed. This year, no problem, no fomites transmission. I guess the virus changed its mind.

        I will bet that they sold a lot of copper cookware.

        • GreenAlba April 21, 2021 at 8:17 pm #

          The information about times that the virus survived on various surfaces was fair enough – it was just that it wasn’t known how much transmission was caused by it (not much).

          People complain that no science is settled, then they complain when new information is generated by the continuing practice of science, as if that wasn’t what scientists were meant to be doing.

    “All this was inspired by the principle – which is quite true within itself – that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.”

    New piece from CJ Hopkins:

    “Back in October of 2020, I wrote an essay called The Covidian Cult, in which I described the so-called “New Normal” as a global totalitarian ideological movement. Developments over the last six months have borne out the accuracy of that analogy.

    A full year after the initial roll-out of the utterly horrifying and completely fictional photos of people dropping dead in the streets, the projected 3.4% death rate, and all the rest of the official propaganda, despite the absence of any actual scientific evidence of an apocalyptic plague (and the abundance of evidence to the contrary), millions of people continue to behave like members of an enormous death cult, walking around in public with medical-looking masks, robotically repeating vacuous platitudes, torturing children, the elderly, the disabled, demanding that everyone submit to being injected with dangerous experimental “vaccines,” and just generally acting delusional and psychotic.”

      Great article, thanks for posting.

      And yes, many of us predicted almost to a T what is happening now, once we quickly figured out that the COVID19 psyops was just that.

      And we were correct.

      Next, they will find a way to blame the unvaccinated for the deaths of the vaccinated. And round and round it will go.

      Fun times ahead.

      Someone forecasted that the vaccines would kill about .03%, and then two years down the road, a big die off. I guess we’ll see about that.

      I saw about 100+ horrific photos and stories yesterday. Apparently the vaccine triggers or causes shingles. No surprise, as it’s probably hell on peoples’ immune systems. Destroy immune systems = big money for Big Pharma (patients for life, big hospital bills).

            They also paid doctors and hospitals per COVID19 death so that incentivised it. All of this is true and verifiable.

    Re the Ohio policeman shooting the knife-wielding girl: I wasn’t there so I don’t know the exact situation, but couldn’t have the cop used a taser instead? The girl just had a knife, not a gun, so maybe he could have gotten closer to her and tased instead. Given I wasn’t there, but you would think killing her wasn’t necessary.

      A skilled person with a knife is freaking lethal just watch forged in fire sometime and watch what the weapons expert does to get an idea of just how fast someone can gut you with a good sharp blade.

      As to the taser reference there are people on this planet a taser only pisses off and it takes repeated zaps to incapacitate them.

      Moral of the story don’t assault a cop.

      • beantownbill. April 21, 2021 at 11:00 pm #

        In this case it was a teenaged girl. Most likely she would not have shaken off the taser. When I was into martial arts, i lost every single “knife fight” . It is wicked hard to defend against a knife, yes.

    • MaryV April 21, 2021 at 8:28 pm #

      She was less than a second from stabbing the other girl, and would have if not shot. A taser has one-shot meaning if it didn’t work, that other girl could be dead. I saw a photo, the knife was close to finding it’s mark.

    • Yohannon April 21, 2021 at 8:39 pm #

    My wife warned me, don’t plant that kale yet. Now I’ll have to go out and cover it up.

    Official US weather recording didn’t begin until 1876, but the colonists who settled here were a literate bunch, and kept notes and diaries, specially when it came to weather and how it affected local agriculture.

    1645, last frost of the season: May 10

    2020, last frost of the season: May 10

    1645, first frost: Oct 10

    2020, first frost: Oct 9

    You’d think, since THE WORLD IS ON FIRE, over the past 375 years or so the growing season would have grown longer by at least a few weeks. But that doesn’t appear to be the case. It’s pretty much the same.

      And I think it depends very much on where you are in the world. Lots of the UK, Europe and Siberia report longer “growing seasons”. And in the US – the figures for the opening date and closing date for Tioga Pass in Yosemite NP show a definite trend.

        The point is though, we are not going to change anything, in spite of AOL and her Leftist dogma. Fossil fuels are the best source of energy there is, all things considered, by a mile.

        Tell you what will get peoples attention, belief that Peak oil exists and that Happy Motoring will cease in about 20 years. Belief that plastics will decrease, that food will become more scarce and more expensive, that high density transportation is all that you can afford.

        Biden acting like a bully will not accomplish this. The vast majority of America will not sign up to limited electricity, $40000 cars, no airplanes, and landscapes dotted everywhere with wind mills and solar panels. Especially abandoned stations that no one will clean up.

          The world is definitely warming – I don’t think there is any doubt about that.

          But whether the elimination of coal and gas fired power stations, and ICE cars, in the West, is going to make a huge difference – I agree that that is another matter. And whether the solution is worse that the problem.

          I think we should be planning for serious peak oil – where the cost of gasoline, diesel, and heating fuel becomes really high – how we generate reliable electricity, and what sort of vehicles we have – are still hugely debateable.

            No one argues as to the simple fact the world has been slowly warming for tens of thousands of years.

            The argument is that it is natural and mankind can’t do much to change that fact.
            Also that most of the steps outlined are more about lining pockets and shifting power around or in essence controlling everyone.

    Are you shocked by skyrocketing prices of building materials and copper recently?
    According to one insider, just watch what’s about to unfold as the two global superpowers China and the USA simultaneously embark on the most ambitious infrastructure buildout in the history of the world. China’s “Belt and Road” initiative and USA President Biden’s Infrastructure & Green New Deal programs are poised to draw these two economies and the rest of the world into an all-out scramble for the limited supply of natural resources including iron, copper, and precious metals.

    And this resource “super cycle” is coming at the same time as unprecedented monetary expansion floods the world with currency.

    Perfectly positioned to benefit from this environment is VOX Royalty Corp., as reported by its Chairman and CEO Kyle Floyd, who visits Liberty and Finance for the first time in this interview.

        A wake up call for me was in the early days of Covid, everyone was having difficulty getting masks, PPE, and ventilators for the hospitals.

        Why? They were all manufactured in China. Remember Trump had to use that emergency order to get US companies to start to manufacture the medical supplies as China was using their stuff themselves.

        Since then it is disconcerting to see China makes most of our drugs.

        The aspartame that is in sugar free everything, China, there are current shortages causing inavailabilty of diet soda.

        It would be okay to give our manufacturing sector to an ally like Japan, but to China?

        BTW, China is working on producing electric cars that were rated pretty good in the article I read. For about half the cost of US versions, or even Japanese versions.

    An observation.

    I watched Chauvin during the incident. I did not see a man trying to kill a person. I saw a man with a blank look on his face, probably distracted enough by all the people standing around, doing videos, and yelling at the cops. Distracted enough to not be paying much attention to George Floyd.

    Floyd was hopped up, a potential heart case, and full of opiates which are respiratory depressants. The neck compression probably killed a man in his condition.

    Chauvin, IMHO, lost the “big picture” of what was going on around him.

    He is going to pay for that lack of concentration. It was not murder though.

    • GreenAlba April 22, 2021 at 6:09 am #

      JohnAZ

      I agree it wasn’t murder. I doubt very much there was intent to kill.
      Some kind of aggravated involuntary manslaughter seems fair enough (pardon the lack of valid lawyer-speak). The guy said he couldn’t breathe. Many, many times. If someone says they can’t breathe you don’t keep your knee on their neck for nine minutes.

      All you can say is what probably contributed to his death. And that was probably both the knee on the neck and the drugs. WIth the background factors that he was resisting arrest, and that he was a criminal in the first place or it would never have happened.

      People have even said he tested positive for Covid, as if that were a contributing factor – in some cases these are the same people who insist positive tests for Covid are mostly invalid. Hmmm … And that if you died ‘with Covid’, you didn’t die ‘of Covid’.

      To claim it was only the drugs, you’d have to prove that he’d have died there and then (or within an hour or so) if there had been no ‘incident’. If your husband or wife has terminal cancer and is likely to die in two months, an attacker who kills them in the meantime doesn’t get off scot-free (it kind of worked in Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca!).

    Green, I do not know whats going on abroad.

    I agree with BRH, who stated C19s USA death rates are not even statistically significant.

    And you are snarky.

    • GreenAlba April 22, 2021 at 6:20 am #

      Apologies for any snark directed at you, malthuss. I wish I saw you commenting more on snark directed at me, though. Never seen that. 🙂

      I don’t think death rates are the most important issue. Also, your country is so huge that some places have been caught up in situations of hospitals bursting at the seams while other places have seen very little of anything that mattered. Also, you have more slack in the system generally because you have a money-based health system, hence more spare capacity.

      I believe Brazil has a health service more on the model of the NHS. That probably means less spare capacity. And it also probably means there is less likelihood of statistics being tweaked for financial gain.

      But, generally, it is good to keep an eye on what is happening in other countries, and not base all your observations on what is happening on your own. Viruses don’t respect borders.

    As of April 22 Covid deaths in India number 185,000. That is if those are all direct Covid deaths. Could be I don’t know. The Indian population is 1,400,000,000 people. That means 1 out of every 7580 Indians have died from Covid since the pandemic began. In the last good year 2019 (pre-covid). 10,200,000 Indians died. That would be just about 28,000 deaths a day. I don’t get what all the panic is about. I’ve never been to India but I did see “SlumDog Millionaire” and the place didn’t look all that sanitary.

      Yes, but cases have gone to 315,800 new cases per day – they are only a short two weeks away from a great increase in deaths I expect.

      Thanks. where is the pandemic?

      meanwhile, ancient prophecy unfolds,

      Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) said it is rolling out biometric technology at its Whole Foods stores around Seattle starting on Wednesday, letting shoppers pay for items with a scan of their palm.

      The move shows how Amazon is bringing some of the technology already in use at its namesake brick-and-mortar Go and Books stores to the grocery chain it acquired in 2017.

      The system, called Amazon One, lets customers associate a credit card with their palm print. It offers a contact-less alternative to cash and card payments, Amazon said.

      The deployment stops short of introducing Amazon’s cashier-less technology at Whole Foods, which critics have said would result in job cuts. Amazon One still requires scanning items at checkout..

        The system, called Amazon One, lets customers associate a credit card with their palm print. It offers a contact-less alternative to cash and card payments, Amazon said.

        Credit cards and phones are already contactless ways to pay – what is gained by a palm-read?

        A friend of mine has acquired a new Merc – the whole dashboard has been replaced by a long low touch screen. His failed and it had to be replaced.

        He can ask “Mercedes” to open or close the sun-roof, adjust the aircon, or change the music channel. Or start the engine. But all of this takes longer – with more effort – than just pushing a button. And the inbuilt GPS was rubbish as well.

        It all goes to show that with the invention of the cheap microchip, its miniaturization, and with AI – virtually anything is possible. But so often it is just a solution without a problem.

          LOL, so true, Tek! My wife bought a pencil sharpener last week but rather than just buying a basic, cheap 1″ x 0.5″ metal one she couldn’t resist buying an expensive, junk plastic ‘automatic’ one.

          It cost eight times the price, needed two AA batteries, the motor was so weak that it wouldn’t even turn with some colouring pencils and when it did turn it just tore chunks of the wood away rather than sharpen.

          There are many examples of this kind of thing in our house. Solutions in search of a problem. I think I’m a Luddite at heart.

            I think I’m a Luddite at heart.

            LOL. When my father passed away a few years ago, it was one of my tasks to clean out his comprehensive den and tool shed.

            He had the most exquisite collection of basic (but sophisticated) cameras from the 1930s to 1970s, and in the shed he had a beautiful set of artisan hand tools – many from his father and essentially the 19th Century. Lots of stuff to fix a car as well.

            I couldn’t bear to dump any of this – so I asked a curator from the city museum come out and take whatever he wanted. When he saw what was offer he was in seventh heaven!

            I trust some of these beautiful old cameras and hand tools are on display somewhere. My father would have done really well in a World Made By Hand.

          • Slugoon April 22, 2021 at 2:51 am #

            I’d like to have seen them too. I used 35mm film cameras up until 2019 before grudgingly going digital although I’m still using a Nokia 106 ‘phone. If you ever track them down let me know and sorry for your loss.

            Your dad’s generation, my dad’s generation, it truly was a different world. The pace of change is phenomenal, and unprecedented.

            A world made by hand will be so much more fulfilling than this one, in many ways, though not all. Getting there is going to be the most painful part.

            By the way, how do you italicise text on here?

            Your dad’s generation, my dad’s generation, it truly was a different world. The pace of change is phenomenal, and unprecedented.

            My father was exactly the sort of guy who JHK would see doing well in a WMBH … he really could everything to teach a class in Latin, to grow great vegetables, to stripping down an entire six-cylinder car engine.

            Anyway – I was lucky to have him. My mother was no slouch either – driving Army trucks at 18.

            To get italics you need to use html tags, so that means less than, the letter i, then the greater than symbol. At the end of the text you want to italicise, you need less than again, a forward slash, the letter i, then the greater than symbol.

            For bold – use the letter b rather than the letter i. For bold italic you need to use both sets of html tags.

    Bree Newsome had this to say about the Columbus shooting:

    ‘Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons. We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y’all need help. I mean that sincerely.’

    You can see here the depth of their hatred. This cop could have died saving the black girl and she’d spit on his grave.

    I think it was tully(?) above who mentioned LeBron James, who is now classified as a nigger in my book, along with OJ, Cosby, and the like. He put up the cop’s picture and said, ‘you’re next!’

    Looking at the incident in Columbus, blacks couldn’t help but see the crude, low beast within themselves. They feel more and more like cornered animals, and their only path forward is to claw their way out on the white man’s skin, to tear it off and leave it burning in the streets.

    The presidency, the media, and the wokesters against whitey have now loudly proclaimed that it’s time for the black fist of power.

    • tully April 22, 2021 at 6:51 am #

      In some ways, what happened in Columbus is more troubling than some other incidents that led to officer shootings. How do?

      The altercation happened in a nice middle class neighborhood with well kept homes and newer cars. One of those homes was fostering the girl who was killed. Couples with a stable loving home life are generally the people chosen to foster kids.

      Certainly the girl had experienced a troubled life, and had even less emotional control than the usual 16 year old. But the cop rolling up does not have the backstory. He has been dispatched due to a 911 asking for help due to an assault. He arrives and sees one female pin another girl half her size against a car and start to swing her right hand holding a knife at the pinned car. The cop fires immediately. I don’t see that he had any other options.

      None of us know what set off this fight, or why the adults were unable to diffuse it. Why was the kid in foster care, given she had a mother and an aunt quite capable of talking to the media? Will we ever know? I doubt it. It seems too many just want to blame it all on the cop.

      And Lebron James can take his damn Twitter and go to hell imho.

        Historically, when a society truly gets to that point, generally that doesn’t end well for a lot of people.

      I expect to see some states require passports in the near future; NY, CA, MI come to mind.

      Any attempt to impose a national passport will fail, I think. Too many people in too many states don’t want it. Governors and legislatures are already opposing them.

      But ultimately it comes down to dollars, and large corporations putting pressure on the states. As in, if the state wants to do business with Corp X, the state must have vax passports. If not, Corp X will take its ball and money and go elsewhere.

      We have become a country where global Corp calls the shots; elected officials are merely their errand boys.

        I remember seeing a Mexican soldier with a machine gun. He was working security at the Cancun airport. 2005ish. It was the first time that I ever saw a machine gun. I seen them on TV & Rambo of course but first time live.

        2018 there are 2 militarized Vancouver Police Services officers/soldiers standing halfway up a Big outside cement staircase on the way into a Vancouver Canucks NHL game armed so they could cut down a swath of us hockey fans in a heartbeat or two.

        I asked one of the young men, “What’s up?” I hadn’t seen the news and wondered if there was some reason for this seemingly unnecessary show of force as we all politely went to be body-scanned and gain access to the stadium.

        The young man was confused. Then they had some groupies show up and the young men were more interested in them than me. They might as have been The Hulk and The Green Lantern in Times Square.

            It would have been easier just to say why you thought the UK was ‘ground zero’ when so many other countries (plus the entire EU, coming up) have vaccine passports for international travel either already or in the pipeline?

            Goodness – I thought the BB was more of a Scottish thing. My older brother was in it for years (but in the 60s) and did the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award with them (he of the occult conception).

            I once counted 13 bibles in our house when I was a kid. Mostly the old-fashioned kind with leather covers and gold edging on the paper. I’ve still got a couple somewhere.

            We never know what is in our future. Stay on here long enough, and we might end up quoting Revelation!

          • O.G. Hawkins April 22, 2021 at 3:51 pm #

            Revelation 1

            1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

            2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

            3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

          • GreenAlba April 22, 2021 at 5:27 pm #

            OK, OG, so you’re not going to stop proselytising.

            Shame you didn’t know me during my religious phase, i.e. the greater part of my life. So keen was I on battering myself over the head with the imperatives of my beliefs that, following my divorce, I stayed on my own for over a decade, because I thought that was the deal – for good. My mother (as I later found out when I finally gave up on my life as a hermit) most definitely thought I couldn’t possibly see anyone else while my ex-husband was still alive, because that would be adultery. I introduced her to the person I went out with before my current husband, and for the rest of the year that I went out with him she never mentioned his name again or his existence.

            So when I met my current husband, I never told her, so she never met him.

            Given you seem to be a divorced Catholic with a girlfriend, I’m not sure which of us has spent more time observing the commandments. 🙂

          • O.G. Hawkins April 22, 2021 at 7:41 pm #

            Oh! I am no saint, GA. I’m a Catholic like Tony Soprano is a Catholic.

            I was lost but now I’m found
            Was blind but now I see

            I have no delusions that I appear in The Book of Life. I Hope so but it’s going to take a whole lot of forgiveness. I know that.

            I don’t get bogged down in dogma while praying to Him daily for Strength, Perseverance & Wisdom for these challenging times ahead.

            Regardless of all that, I also try to eliminate myself from the equation when studying macro events and trends. It’s natural for Saskatchewan people to be so. We’re used to being irrelevant.

            Almost 200 countries lockdown in a global first … and USA had more deaths in 2018 than 2020! Efficacy shmefficacy, wtf?

            I will win on the demographics? Win what?

            Methinks you can’t separate the Reality of which I inform you versus your child-like motive-projecting you espouse on me in order to psychologically side-step that said Reality with ad hominem bluster.

            Of course, I could be Wrong.

            Remember, GA, we will determine, in April 2022, whether we are closer to taking a mark in order to buy & sell or not. There! I’ll win that. I already have.

            If the vaxxed are going to be dropping, and you, the noble and wise refuseniks are left, how do the demographics not finish in your favour?

            Don’t know what your convoluted ‘Methinks’ paragraph is all about. I thought you’d enjoy a funny story about refuseniks, but it’s often a mistake to assume a sense of humour or goodwill on here.

            I consider it an ad hominem attack on my character that I would possibly view my fellow man dropping left, Right & centre as winning.

            While I won’t speak for other CFNers, I don’t have much of a sense of humour about being a Refusenik. I fear that I will be placed in a concentration camp for my stance and do apologize for my lack of Good humour about that. It must be awful for you.

            I appreciate your concern vis-a-vis my mental health, GA. Or is that concern? Perhaps it is yet more ad hominem attacks protecting your rugged little normalcy bias by ignoring The Truth and ridiculing my sanity.

            We shall see. The Truth is unstoppable. We all know that.

            This thread started with someone’s father-in-law writing their MP demanding VaxPass in April 2021. I have been watching them ratchet this shit for decades.

            I Truly do see that I am irrelevant as I calls ’em as I sees ’em. You keep making this about me, not me.

            OG

            I do not consider what I called your martyr complex to be a mental health issue. Nor do I wish you anything but well.

            My daughter is also not going to be vaxxed, at least that’s her decision at the moment.

            She’s not going to a concentration camp and neither are you.

            I think your take is slightly melodramatic and it seems to me, from the endless number of times, since you joined us, that you have alluded to ‘taking the mark’ that the origin of this melodrama is religious.

            I don’t consider that there’s anything wrong with being religious either – not everyone who is religious sees things quite as you do. Many, many religious people have been vaccinated – it doesn’t make them any less Christian.

            I’m sorry for any perceived offence, either in this post or the ones before it.

            I’m not sure why you think calling a person a child is less insulting than my perceived offence. Telling someone they’re a child is an ad hom.

            She’s not going to a concentration camp and neither are you. said almost every single Jew in Germany in 1936. Why do these re-education camps exist but are secret (as per an Alberta MLA slip & Dr Yeardon)?

            How did a Saudi elite boy, former CIA, have the ability to make the USA Air Force stand down one fine Tuesday morning from a cave in Afghanistan (resulting in 3 massive skyscrapers pulverizing into toxic dust and scrap metal crime-scene evidence shipped to be re-cycled in China ASAP)?

            Children ignore Reality because facing it is a buzzkill. They can do so because they are children and are cared for.

            When adults ignore Reality on account of it being a buzzkill, they are being child-like.

            It is exasperating discussing adult topics with adults exhibiting child-like mental capabilities. I apologize but am also disappointed. I thought that I’d straighten out people like you & Tekapo here on CFN but I was Wrong [See? I told you that it happens.].

            We do agree on this aspect of prophesy. I, too, do not think that these jabs given so far are the mark. Each soul must pledge allegiance to the Beast and receive the mark lest they be forbidden to buy and sell. Clearly those don’t jive.

            However, what that Frankenshit is doing to your RNA 24×7 is known by very few. The vaxxed are being dangled the carrot of normalcy. The vaxxed are gonna HATE us Refuseniks. You wait and see.

            Our Real difference is this GA:

    Biden is chairing a ‘Climate Summit’ on this Earth Day, making all kinds of promises and commitments to reach Carbon 0 by 2030; at the same time I’m reading China & India are going balls to the wall building coal fired generating plants, importing coal, and mining coal within their own borders. WTF gives?

    Carbon 0? What does it mean? How do we heat our houses? How do we drive our cars? How do we keep the lights on? Why aren’t we seeing any details on this Carbon 0 plan? I already mentioned in Ct we’ll need 25,000 windmills to replace the nuke and natgas plants we have now; I know of 2. That means 24,998 windmills need to be built within 8.5 years in order to get to Carbon 0 by 2030. But I don’t see any windmill construction anywhere. In New London there is supposed to be an offshore wind farm going in; they’re still working on the pier to stage construction from; they’ve been working on it for years, turns out the project is full of graft, corruption, cost overruns and delays. Not one windmill has been installed. Meanwhile, big union honchos and construction company moguls — all politically connected — have cleaned up bigtime.

        O.G., you just made this click for me. How do we achieve net zero carbon? We can’t, but a significantly smaller population gets us closer.

        I believe the World Made By Hand of JHK’s would achieve the same end. We would all work a lot harder physically, but who knows? We might enjoy it. Beeswax candles and wood stoves sounds more appealing than the feudal techno dystopia apparently headed our way.

        • O.G. Hawkins April 22, 2021 at 1:58 pm #

          Yes, tully. Look at the difference in city air quality during 2020 … and that was with us all still allowed to be alive – running A/C, heat & WiFi, having Big trucks bring us our refridgerated food.

          Imagine the variants knocking off the vaxxed left, Right & centre and the survivors doing as they are told. All over the entire planet.

          Little House on the Prairie or even The Waltons are appealing but those days have come and gone. They are doing all this shit for a reason. Sad but True.

      The Democratic Party lies. The Democratic Party emotes BS constantly. They want power and will do anything to get it.

      They wanted to change everything to undo the common sense things that Trump did. Everything. That includes undoing all the fossil fuel incentives that Trump created to make us energy independent.

      The Dems are not going to keep us the same. This country is going down, energy included. JHK prophesied that the loss of energy from Peak oil was going to lower the living standard considerably. The Dem agenda creates an equivalent to Peak oil and by 2030. Get ready to watch the US turn into Mexico or worse.

      Wise folks will expat to get the heck outa this insane asylum. Let the Browns have it, the Dems will have ruined it by 2030.

      The Dems destroyed the future of the oil piping industry, they are currently trying to destroy what is left of coal. They are promising the coal miners the same “high paying” green jobs they promised the pipe fitters. The coal union is backing Biden. ??!!??

      One thing is for sure. The Dems are out of control. They are grabbing power with all their might and putting things in place that will lock themselves into power forever. Their seeming quickness is understandable. They want things done by 2022. Their agenda will remove any chance of anyone else winning much of anything. The Senate will be +2 with DC, the Court will be packed, with Merrick Garland in place. 2022 is the target, the dictatorship starts then.

      Global warming may be happening in places, but the idea that we are going to transition into something different without serious consequences is insane. The Dems are taking the choices away from the people of the US and handing it to the globalist powers.

      Good job, voters. Not citizens, voters.

      • JohnAZ April 22, 2021 at 10:24 am #

        Speaking of Merrick Garland, our new AG has a lot on his plate with all the investigations going on, right?

        I guess not. He is going to void out Amendment 10 and go into Minneapolis’ police department and root out all the systemic racism present there. The Feds are going to tell them what to do.

        The dictatorship may already be here.

        The governor of AZ, Doug Ducey has just mobilized his law enforcement to control the border in Arizona. If Texas follows, the federal response could trigger the dissolution predicted. The Red states need to get cojones and tell these jerks in DC to go to hell.

        I would love to see Arizona to secede and drive out the Democrats in the state. The Indians of New Mexico and the Marxists of California need to take them back.

            When red & blue are mixed, the result is ‘purple’ (or indigo), much to the chagrin of Night Troll.

            During the Middle Ages (and in fact right up until fairly recent centuries), the penalty for peasants wearing purple was death … the color was reserved for the toffs and royalty – which is ironic.

            And just to highlight the perversity of Americans – in just about every other democracy on the plant, the conservatives are blue (the blue-bloods), and the social-democratic parties are red (denoting their labor-lefty background).

        I’m sure lots of Democrats would love you to be right, but I think the more likely scenario is that the Democrats will have a hugely difficult time in keeping the Senate and the House n 2022. Their current hold on power is tenuous indeed, it seems to me.

        What things are they putting in place, that compare to the “election security” provisions being put in place by nearly all the states? They have no guarantee at all that HR1 will pass the Senate, or even the DC Statehood move, or the Supreme Court size increase. Their power is very limited, in reality.

    Discussion on Columbus, Ohio.

    Don ya get it. What these radical Blacks want?

    They want control, they want the police out of the way. The police represent the Whitey government to them. They want autonomy in their cities. What Lebrun et al are saying is get out of our territory and leave us alone. One idiot said that the police should not have interfered that the Community could take care of any knife fights that might happen.

    Just another step in the dissolution.

          One real eye opener for me — and maybe some of the MDs who comment here can verify this — is how zealously pharmaceutical companies court practicing physicians. My neighbor is a doc who specializes in skin cancer, every once in awhile I’d see a stretch limo pick her and her husband up and whisk them away — on a Saturday night! I asked the husband what’s up? He told me it was a free night out, always sponsored by a drug company promoting this or that medication, usually something new. They paid for the limo, dinner, tickets to a Broadway play, hotel … the works. I guess the whole outlay was for the doctor to prescribe the companies meds, and not some competing company.

      Stiftung Corona Ausschuss discussion with Robert Kennedy, Jr.

      Robert Kennedy Jr (and it’s a travesty that he can use and abuse that name) is an incorrigible anti-vaxxer who has been debunked by every serious player – even his family disowned him. His garbage advocacy has led to the deaths of many children from measles and other easily preventable diseases.

      I wouldn’t be quoting him on here, if one wanted any credibility.

      • MaryV April 22, 2021 at 5:42 pm #

        “He’s an anti-vaxxer” – yet he explains at the outset on the video that he vaccinated his children and would support safely tested and proven vaccines. So: WRONG.

        Debunked? LOL. He is the one winning the lawsuits and putting out the actual studies – which Big Pharma doesn’t do.

        If you’re going to try a really lame attempt at character assassination, at least know something about your victim and what he actually supports or does not support.

        FAIL.

        • Tekapo April 22, 2021 at 6:07 pm #

          Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., does not want you to think of him as an anti-vaxxer. I have yet to meet an anti-vaxxer—someone who spreads misinformation about all vaccines being harmful—who is comfortable with the label. Kennedy is not just anti-vaccine; by many recent accounts, he is one of the princes of the anti-vaccination movement, if not its king.

          From: McGill Office of Science and Society

          He is the ultimate “vaccine causes autism” guy. Debunked.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 22, 2021 at 7:13 pm #

            I swore that I would stop taking Tepako bait … but this must be said:

            I had no Real opinion on whether or not sky-rocketing autism rates were on account of all the vaxxes our children are given.

            Then the church-going mother of our son’s friend told me of her oldest boy, James. Marylynne explained to me how James was perfectly normal until after he got vaxxed. James was an incredible handful and caused severe damage while Richard and Marylynne stoically performed their challenging duties in this realm.

            Debunked my ass!

          • Tekapo April 22, 2021 at 11:43 pm #

            I had no Real opinion on whether or not sky-rocketing autism rates were on account of all the vaxxes our children are given.

            The medical explanation for higher spectrum stats is that diagnosis over the last generation has been so much better. Also, a medico colleague of mine – whose own boy is on the spectrum, but not extremely – said it is that couples are having children somewhat later (31 say, rather than 21), and there is a fair amount of gene damage built into that.

            I dunno, I’m not a doctor – but the claim that vaccines like MMR cause autism is not supported by medical research. Kids who have vaccines do or do not develop autism, and I assume kids who do not have vaccines also do or do not develop it.

            It is reasonable – on the basis of the medical evidence – to state that causality as if it is proven, is in fact debunked.

            But the point here is that Robert Kennedy Jr is a prominent person with a readily available pulpit, and he is arguing stuff that is not proven at all. And is medically dangerous.

          • O.G. Hawkins April 23, 2021 at 9:21 am #

            The point is Marylynne is a Good mother and she witnessed what happened to her son. She knows vax sentenced James and Richard and Marylynne and their other kids to that very difficult life. Marylynne doesn’t need another industry study. She knows.

            Pfizer says Pfizer’s safe. “It’s science!”

            I saw a couple on NBC News last night (mixed race, of course). They have volunteered their 2 year-old daughter for vax testing. The man proudly states, “Because we believe in Science.”

            “Ok … In the name of Science, we want to test vax doses on your 2 year-old child. It’s a brand new vax technology so we need you to sign this here, here, initial here and sign here.”

      Al’s Prince,

      Daunte Demetrius Wright was a 20-year-old African American man from Minneapolis.[21][22]

      Wright and a high school friend were charged with choking and attempted armed robbery of a woman who had allowed them to stay overnight after a party in her apartment in December 2019. Wright was released on a $100,000 bond.

      His bail conditions included prohibitions against using drugs and alcohol, and against possession of firearms.

      They required he maintain contact with his probation officer.[4] In June 2020, he was rearrested for missing a court appearance and physically fleeing from apprehension while he was armed.

      In July 2020, his bail was revoked as a result of the new charges and failure to keep in touch with probation authorities.[4][23][4]

      At the time of his death, Wright had a son who was almost two years old.[24][25]

        I’ve said it here before, that every human being should be treated with dignity and respect until they deserve otherwise.

        My frustration and anger lies in the fact that there is no end in sight to this racial discord, and that the mixing of the races is being forced upon us even as this discord only seems to increase.

        I’m also angered that BLM, Antifa, etc., are actually weakening laws and police forces across the nation to the detriment of many. Control the cops, control the DA’s and you attain power beneficially disproportionate to your numbers, power that will only heighten racial tensions and eventually lead to civil disorder.

    Mary to me,

    You have been manipulated by the MSM into speaking this way, because not only is it nonsensical, it is disordered.

    No, you are not responsible for other people. You, your children. That’s it.

    Any psychologist will agree with me. I am not responsible for my next door neighbor. I choose to be good to them, but it doesn’t include harming myself in order to do so.

    I will not vax to make you feel more comfy. I will not mask to make you feel more comfy. Your comfort is your responsibility.’

    My response,

    Okay, I should have said ‘concern’ again as I did in the first line.

    Of course you are not ‘responsible’ for your neighbor. But any psychologist or sociologist will tell you that concern for our neighbors makes for a better society.

    It is you being nonsensical, and stupid frankly, to spout off like a know it all, pompous ass and say that I have been manipulated by the MSM. I Can’t be manipulated, it’s just my nature.

    Save your comfort for some poor slob who needs it. I’m used to the bed of nails. And stop trying to elevate and fortify yourself with that bombastic bravado, “I will not vax, I will not mask”. Oh, what a heroine you are! You sound like a spoiled little brat.

    I post this again because it deserves to be posted again. Don’t tell me I’m being manipulated. It just can’t happen, got it?

      • tucsonspur April 23, 2021 at 5:13 am #

        I have mixed feelings about it. I don’t like the idea of people being forced to do things.

        If the vaccine was really proven to be effective and safe, and if everybody got it, this ordeal would be over. But people have concerns about it and I don’t blame them.

        It seems to me that so far the vax is safe, but it is early in the game. People wonder, as I do, about the variants and long term effects. Then of course you think about this being enforced because of the self interests of business.

        I took the vaccine weeks ago, and think any danger is really minimal, so I’ve got the passport if I need it, but I understand the objections to it.

    “Redneck”, as a term, arose around the miners’ striking in the south back 100 years ago. The red bandanas were worn by white strikers to indicate their pro-union sentiments and they were closely allied to black & immigrant workers likewise exploited.

        Incorrect – the term originally derived from the red bandanas worn by the miners during the strike.

    An interesting angle potentially from the WaPo totalitarian Jennifer Rubin. Interesting from a stategerie perspective of what their next moves may be. I think she actually believes that the federal government won’t make the vaccine mandatory lol? Or she is feigning such just so the nightmare doesn’t sound so bad? Either way she is advocating that corporations, schools, entertainment venues, restaurants, etc. enforce a passport regime. So business can do what government can’t/won’t. Sounds like a familiar pattern now. And she is very emphatic that there is absolutely no right to be sick. Since sickness is a part of life from time to time and more so for some the excuses for totalitarian intrusion into all aspects of life using such logic can naturally never end. In fact. One could envision this creating a terrifying positive feedback loop that leads to a society in which everyone will be forced into 24/7/365 bio-survelliance. For health and safety of course! Oh and don’t forget that Joe recently said none of those rights are absolutes.

        Lol am I under arrest? No. I’m just really giggly this morning. I guess its a Friday. But seriously. Maybe that will actually be the only right that we really have at some point soon? That and I guess the right to be a pin cushion for big pharma as they continue to roll out the vaccines you have to take every so often for covid which is the new flu apparently?

    I thought Tucker made a really good point tonight. He said that basically the same sociopathic and psychopathic politicians and other sundry bloodsuckers (my descriptors not his) who are literally advocating and demanding that melinated youth have a total right to freely stab each other without the fear of police intervention are also the exact same people who are at the same time rabidly demanding that legal gun owners be disarmed and criminalized.

      A first time for everything I guess.

        Not quite. I’m still waiting for you to get one thing right lol. 🙂 Since it hasn’t yet occurred there hasn’t been a first time for that. Keep working on it though because its an awesome goal.

          I think your very sweet use of “tucker” as a first name was just so gushy, just so cutsie-poo. Do you lick his butt like this all the time? How about for anybody else? Sean? or Laura?

            “If you two don’t stop it Right now, I swear I’ll turn this car around and we won’t go to Disneyland!”

            SSL, you are Better than this. Don’t let this troll drag you down to his level.

            There are way too many schoolyard taunting sessions on CFN. It is tiresome.

            Let’s be adults on CFN. Let’s discuss the issues at hand sans mud-slinging, name-calling and ad hominem attacks.

            I would bet that Mr Kunstler would agree.

          • SoftStarLight April 23, 2021 at 9:40 am #

            No please don’t, I really want to go to Disneyland!! 🙂 Thank you O.G. I had simply intended for that to be a little joke to Tek. I mean, Tucker’s name is Tucker so I am not sure why me simply saying his name resulted in such a response. I just think Tek really dislikes Tucker.

      SSL said”…have a total right to freely stab each other without the fear…”

      Both people need equality in weapons to be fair. Fear will never be resolved.

    Do the police and military exist now primarily to enforce elitist/corporatist sponsored anarcho-tyranny and anti-white racism and digital lynchings? Why should anyone support such a system let alone put their life on the line for such a travesty? Hopefully the epiphany didn’t come too late!

      It’s one year ago today since President Trump’s “bleach” press conference. It’s interesting to reflect on what a crazy 365 days it’s been for all of us.

      • Night Owl April 23, 2021 at 9:14 am #

        We remember. You and Maj saved us from injecting bleach.

        LOL.

    “The closest thing to eternal life is government entitlement programs.” paraphrase of Ronald Reagen

    The term “everlasting” or “eternal” in the Old Testament, it is normally from the original Hebrew word, olam. This word means “to hide, keep secret, obscure.” It is best expressed by the English word, “obscurity.” In actual usage, the word refers to an INDEFINITE period of time, but NOT eternal. It is simply AN AGE. The end of that age is obscure and generally unknown, but not endless.”

    therefore hyperbole does not offer unsustainable MMT, but hyper inflation of mammon will end the world system @ some obscure point in time.
