The Sickening Quickening

The regime must know that the next Congress is going to rip the face off the deep state and likely impeach “Joe Biden” for accepting bribes from countries hostile to the USA.

Do you still doubt that the federal bureaucracy and the elected government parasitically attached to it seek to harm the people they rule (i.e., us) by any means necessary? They’re still pushing Covid “vaccines” in a futile effort to eliminate the control group of their massive eugenics experiment — that is, the unvaccinated, who are not getting the many vaccine-induced diseases behind the rise of all-causes mortality in people under 65.

But the vaxx scam isn’t working anymore. Too many people have already been hurt, or killed, or seen friends and relatives go down mysteriously and they’re taking a pass on any more shots. Parents have evidently seen enough to not bring their little children in for the life-altering mRNA treatments. The CDC, the FDA, and their cohorts hide their information, lie when pressed, and pretend that they are acting scientifically. But really, at this point, many public health officials must be secretly wondering how they will evade prosecution.

They won’t when fraud is proven in a court of law. Even with all the lies and redactions issued by the CDC and the FDA, the evidence is piling miles high that the Pfizer and Moderna drug trials were covered-up botches and the entire administration of the vaccine program has been an unnecessary disaster. Fraud vitiates immunity from liability. The pharma companies will go out of business and their profits will be clawed back in countless lawsuits. The drug company executives will go to prison along with Rochelle Walensky, Anthony Fauci, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, and many of their lieutenants.

My personal theory is that the Covid-19 release was wholly and entirely about getting rid of Donald Trump and nothing else, in order to protect the permanent bureaucracy, a.k.a. the deep state, which was faltering in its countless turpitudes against the people, including the FBI and DOJ’s complicity in the criminal frauds and seditions of RussiaGate, and the CIA’s complicity in the “whistleblower” shenanigans behind Trump impeachment No. 1. The “long game” in the Covid-19 scam of 2020 was obviously to set-up the loosest mail-in voting apparatus possible to enable maximum ballot fraud in that year’s elections. The catch is, the Covid-19 play did not protect the deep state; it only further demonstrated its malevolence.

“Joe Biden” — or the gang operating behind the Potemkin President — now seeks to keep some sort of public health emergency declaration in force, this time over the laughable monkeypox, to pave the way for more maximum ballot fraud via mail-in votes in the 2022 midterms. Watch as they attempt to shut down public polling places. Who will stop them? Individual state’s attorneys general could sue on the grounds of the federal government’s abrogating the states’ constitutional duty to manage their own elections. Or perhaps the states will defy the feds and just keep their polling place open, calling their bluff. What will the Federal Election Commission and AG Merrick Garland do then? Nullify the votes? (Incite a civil war?)

The regime must know that the next Congress is going to rip the face off the deep state and likely impeach “Joe Biden” for accepting bribes from countries hostile to the USA. Mr. Garland might try a maneuver to convict Hunter Biden on a Mickey Mouse tax crime in order to put all that laptop evidence under seal, but I doubt that will protect the Big Guy in an impeachment proceeding, if he lives until January. For the moment, they’ve got “JB” stuffed in a White House closet somewhere with an unshakable return of his Covid symptoms. They can only keep him out of sight so long. He’s living proof, on two cloven feet, that Covid vaccines don’t work, and that sort of screws their whole pooch.

The Party of Chaos is otherwise basking in the glow of victory from Senate passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, an all-out assault on the American public, which said public is already well onto. It’s yet another demonstration that legislation accomplishes the opposite of what its name declares its intentions to be. Reduce inflation caused by exorbitant government spending with a whole lot more government spending (of money that isn’t there)? Yeah, that’ll work, I’m sure (not). Double the size of the IRS in order to amp up harassment of the party’s political adversaries? I’ll tell you why that won’t work out as planned: The IRS will get 85,000 “diversity, inclusion, and equity” hires, meaning new dimensions in institutional incompetence and torpor.

As for “climate action,” expect only further economic destruction, probably deliberate and certainly idiotic. It’s not feasible financially, even with subsidies, to switch-out all the internal combustion cars and trucks for electric vehicles, which would have to run on power generated at its source mainly by natural gas and coal. Nor, on the other hand, can the federal government make oil more affordable. Rather, Americans will just have to drop-out from mass motoring and long-range trucking, which implies major changes in our living arrangements. That is exactly what’s actually happening now, by the way.

Most of these coming changes are beyond the control of government. They are historically emergent — the zeitgeist is in charge of them, not “Joe Biden” or Pete Buttigieg. The cheap energy age is over, and that salient fact will determine most of what happens going forward, including the inability of overgrown central governments to manage anything competently. The more grandiose their attempted work-arounds look, the more certainly they’ll fail. And, as that happens, government at the gigantic scale will shed legitimacy.

    Tpp many suspicious fires at food warehouses and facilities.
    Too many cows and birds dying or being killed.

    Meanwhile, the BLM stuff continues.

    ‘People of Color’ have no incentive to give up their victimhood as they are gaining social status and notoriety in America today as they have never seen before.
    The Predatory Dark Side Social Engineers certainly don’t want to give this up as They are succeeding in tearing a powerful Nation apart at the seams.

    And Q shtik, J, SSL. BRH and anyone else,
    Drunk Black RN kills 6.
    The scene is horrific as the cars explode instantly and nearly hit the gas pump.
    The baby was airborne but the crash or landing at gas station killed him.

          I wish I shared JHK’s confidence that in the end justice and truth will win.

          • Walter B August 8, 2022 at 4:26 pm #

            In a system where everything is for sale, in the end, everything gets sold and more correctly, gets sold out. Those who have sold out God and their moral compasses have been able to obtain such enormous amounts of wealth and power that I for one cannot see any worldly power bringing any of them to justice, save for the occasional patsy here and there.

            In believing this, it is clear to me that the only thing standing between me and despair is my indomitable Faith in The Lord God Creator. Evil cannot win because just the act of being evil has brought about their loss and punishment.

          • JamesNix August 8, 2022 at 5:30 pm #

            My favorite detour from wholeheartedly agreeing with most everything James has to vibrantly draw our attentions to, is just that; I never agree with his total embrace of “JUSTICE”. I failed to write him a private email describing why and wherefore HOW why again these people escape justice; probably because; I am too unplugged to fully nail the assignment.

            So I ask some other JHK readers to stop the usual postpost bs and explain to Jim why these individuals (I am going back to the last decade) will never be prosecuted. I know Jim is a fervent believer in justice, but I don’t see justice as remotely possible with these structures and people in place. I WISH I WAS MISTAKEN.

          • Penelope Dreadful August 8, 2022 at 5:33 pm #

            Me too. I try not to be cynical, but TPTB will not go down easy. It is like playing whack-a-mole. You boot out a Dem, and then your Republican turns into Lynn Cheney, Mitt Romney, or Kinzinger.

          • ThorsHammer August 9, 2022 at 9:24 am #

            Jim, forever delusional. Your do no one a favor with your repeated fantasies of the triumph of the system of justice.

            There is not going to be a reckoning in which the perpetrators of the COVID fraud face “justice” under a system of “laws” to which they are held accountable. We do not live in a system of laws or justice, only one of power and graft. Justice is the fall of a guillotine blade on the neck of the perpetrators of the mass murder from the COVID “vaccine” fraud. Justice under the Nuremberg Accords merits the statutory death penalty for medical experimentation on young children who cannot by definition give informed consent.

            The political system in the USA does not represent a contest between different ideas or policies, but rather a circus conducted for the entertainment and mental confusion of the rabble. It is more akin to a Superbowl where all of the players are bribed by bookies to deliver the spread that matches their bets, and the referees control the goal posts that are virtual hologram points on an ever-shifting field.

            Next November the Repugnant Party with sweep the field, leaving DemonRat carcasses everywhere in the wake. And nothing will change. The War Party will still be in full operation, and the arms merchants will still be profiting from shipping weapons of destruction to battle zones whether it be in Ukraine or the next front. The bribes negotiated by Hunter Biden on behalf of the Biden Crime Family will no longer have the same payouts, but new ones will rapidly take their place with the Election Victors as beneficiaries. The Sheeple will still go along, because after all everybody needs a job and WAR is the biggest remaining profit center in the USA.

            Think that freezing Germans will refuse to wear pig snout masks that identify them as vaccine resisters in order to receive their allotment of rationed gas? They didn’t refuse to wear the Star of David when confronted by a previous outbreak of totalitarianism.

            Think the millions of AR15’s in the USA will emerge from their closets when the tally of this next “election” shows that mail in ballots exceed the entire population of individual states?

            I didn’t think so.

          • imonnit August 9, 2022 at 6:45 pm #

            I know it sounds fantastical that these politicians fill every face justice, but in the overarching message of JHK’s writings…the inevitable failure of complex systems… i feel that people here will one day react to our nation being destroyed. Probably not until they’re completely ruined. Like Sri Lanka. I trust that there will be plenty more examples in the near future for us to contemplate as entire countries falter before we face a complete system failure of our own. And in that moment, in my heart I hope those responsible suffer all the loss and indignities they have brought upon us.

          • imonnit August 9, 2022 at 6:47 pm #

            I agree with you. There is absolutely no way that Biden will be impeached as long as Cocaine Mitch is running the Senate (assuming the spineless Repubs win it back in the mid-terms).

        @ Kashub:

        I’m with you! Acronyms are annoying. For example: FF can mean “false flag,” “Founding Fathers,” or “fossil fuels.” Who the hell knows what the writer is talking about?

        Some other acronyms are so obscure as to meaning that I just give up (rather than googling it) and skip reading the comment.

        Another pet peeve (thankfully not common here) is the inventing of cutesy names for political figures, so that you have to figure out who they’re talking about, and cutesy coinages, which I suppose I’m expected to view as clever. Childish.

        Speak English, dammit!

          Acronyms are necessary! We all use fake names here. Even the founding fathers used them – like Publius in the Federalist Papers!

        • SpeedyBB August 8, 2022 at 6:35 pm #

          Anthea, FF = Fast Forward. It is a common marker on recording tape devices.

        • EdD August 9, 2022 at 9:57 am #

          The use of acronyms reveals that the one posting the acronym filled rants is using a phone instead of a keyboard. The acronyms are used to shorten the number of characters in a rant.

          Some discussion site moderators simply block comments from the smartphone ranters. JHK, to his credit, doesn’t, but then the other participants here perform a takedown function on the more prolific trolls. Good work, folks.

            I heard Forrestal had issues with the government’s dealings with space aliens. But maybe like the JFK killing there were multiple reasons to get rid of the man.

  3. Walter B August 8, 2022 at 9:55 am #

    There is no question that the bloated federal government is totally incapable of accomplishing anything productive or useful, but do not forget that what they ARE good at is killing people. Heck, they have even found a way to kill men, women, and children (and all of the other pronouns) while shifting the blame to the victims and their bad genetics and poor life choices.

    IMHO it is more than likely that once the criminals that are pulling the strings realize that they are only fooling themselves and that even the lazy, dimwitted members of the herd are waking up to the attack upon their very existence, they will apply far more obvious methods of killing people. Keep in mind that Barry Obama’s greatest fear (or plan) was that NYC would be nuked. Perhaps Dirty Dick Cheney can muster one last assault on America by helping that come about. The city is already warning about such an event on their Emergency Management website. Wink, wink!

    • cowbell81 August 8, 2022 at 11:51 am #

      Iran, North Korea, China, Russia: They all have their nukes sighted on the Big Apple, and presumably Washington, D.C. Wouldn’t it be rich if they all coordinated a massive strike to occur at the same time, and take out numerous locales simultaneously? That would certainly be the way to do it, clean house and get the job done once and for all.

    • niner August 8, 2022 at 12:48 pm #

      speaking of nuke attacks, today we have the ludicrous spectacle of the russian military running around like a football team on defense trying to intercept the nuclear footballs which zelensky is throwing at the biggest nuclear power plant in europe.

      continuous barrage of flying explosives which the desperate russians are trying to intercept. if they fail even once, it is predicted to be 10 times worse than chernobyl with the same wind patterns over all of europe and eventually the globe, wafting up into the toxic rain. i’m really not sure what to call this play by zelensky and our own CIA/mil advisors. obviously they are daring the US and EU to stomp on and stop the russian advance. and he is risking “his” stolen country, and much of russia and all of europe with this game of nuclear bluff.

      i don’t know what to call this — talk about genocide, without the grace of any part of accident.

        Ukraine is lobbing American made artillery shells at the largest nuclear power plant in Europe; the plant captured by Russia early in the invasion and kept operating under Russian control but with the original Ukrainian staff. Not much about this perilous situation in western media.

      Governments at this stage in time are all about depopulation. Green energy is depop. end of fossil fuel is depop. Clot shots are depop. digital currency and social merit is depop. Kunstler has got it right that governments and those that control them have declared war on their own people. They want us dead with bioweapons, starvation and war. What part of UN agenda 2030 don’t people understand. The elite need to swing, they are and have always been enemies of the people.

      • Walter B August 9, 2022 at 8:43 am #

        Most people cannot understand anything that frightens them, it is human nature to recoil from the fearful, just as it is for herds of animals to run at the first sign of an attacking predator. It is difficult to not fault them or be disgusted by their lack of caring or their fear, but it is how all herds function. We must remember that the value is in the herd as long as it is kept intact. That is our responsibility.

        Our host and those of us that have stepped up to assume roles of sheep dogs and shepherds will constantly struggle to keep from rejecting or hating the herd, because you cannot serve them if you hate them. The message of hope is not a foolish one, but a necessary one because the human spirit IS capable of taking action when pushed too far, and I have a feeling that those that hunt us will be pushing their limits all the way.

    Jim, great article as usual but I think you’re missing the big picture on the Covid scam – it’s not just about incompetence and intent to remove Trump. There is something far more sinister going on. Look up Dr. David Martin to understand how this has been brewing for some time to help implement population reduction. It’s not a crappy product – it’s a weapon.

    • EdD August 8, 2022 at 10:05 am #

      I agree. The election fraud was made possible by the enactment of the plandemic fraud. It was an opportunistic assault on one local populace (the USA) given cover by the larger assault on humanity at large.

    • Night Owl August 8, 2022 at 10:15 am #

      Yeah, its strange. Several weeks in a row, it appeared JHK understood the WEF plan, how broad it is in scale, and how it is being implemented

      Now “Covid” was just about one country and “Donald Trump.”

      LOL.

      You are darn right there is something more sinister. It is well documented in the comments here, and it is an attack that is set up so that the average joe does not understand how the strands of the rope converge and intertwine until the moment the noose goes on.

      Step by step. Denial ain’t helping anyone.

      • Night Owl August 8, 2022 at 10:19 am #

        Should have also mentioned:

        The idea that Biden truly has “Covid,” which thus far can only be confirmed by the PCR test — which, ofc, cannot actually confirm it — is ludicrous.

        The idea that he is taking Pfizer’s pill is also ludicrous. We have seen the death and maiming brought on by this poison.

        No one at that level is taking it.

            I received those too, months ago, but I specifically requested them. I wanted to ensure I got my money’s worth since they were being mailed for free anyway. Shelved them in the back of my closet in case I need them for alternate purposes in a future WMBH scenario, not for testing through.

          Why is Trump any more than a bit player in all of this?

          the fact the Steve Kirsch has to run around soliciting surveys of who has died after the vaxx, and the CDC, DHHS, NIH, etc.– their complete lack of transparency as who has had a vaxx & how many, these are stats we need for *all* deaths of whatever cause and age.

        • Wizard of the Saddle August 9, 2022 at 8:42 am #

          Night Owl,

          I detest Pfizer and am unvaxxed and have resisted these people throughout the so-called pandemic, but I must observe that when my GF (who is also unvaxxed) caught COVID last month she took the PAXLOVID pills prescribed by her doctor and it did knock down her symptoms within days and she recovered in less than a week with no apparent I’ll effects.

          Not saying the pills are harmless since all modern pharmaceuticals seem to have side effects, but perhaps they do not manifest in everyone? Her experience thus far with the pills was positive.

          • Night Owl August 9, 2022 at 10:35 am #

            How do you know she had “Covid.”

            This post is not intended to antagonize.

            There is literally no test for it.

          • RocketDoc August 9, 2022 at 12:25 pm #

            @wiz and NO
            As a health care worker I have tested myself and staff for a year and a half with Binax Now. Never a positive–false or otherwise. Went to wedding in June, developed mild fever Sunday afternoon, and tested with the Binax test I brought. Negative. Flew home, fever broke on plane, some sweating and then felt fine. Tested strong positive when I got home that night and continued every 48 hours for 2 weeks. I had no other symptoms and checking with my physician he said we will wait on the Paxlovid. I mentioned that it was best to start treatments sooner rather than later BUT I was feeling pretty good and had no interest in taking an experimental medicine with side effects.
            Conclusions: I am old with HBP and the disease I had was the mildest ‘sickness’ I have ever had. I have been vaccinated in January 2021. I have had no boosters and do not plan to get any. I am planning international travel which requires vaccination but does not yet consider a booster as necessary for ‘fully vaccinated’. I would recommend getting whatever disease I had and feel good about natural immunity which I hope lasts until I get back from Europe.
            I had what I thought was my normal cold in January–tested every day for a week and it was negative. I was much more uncomfortable with the ‘non-Covid’ ailment then the putative Covid. IMO the Binax is obviously measuring something. I am no ‘anti-vaxxer’ but I am MUCH more suspicious than I ever was. I think JHK’s analysis of Covid as a Trump removal scam is limited and would argue it is a multidimensional “play’ that really, really, really wants to initiate a digital world currency. The fact that it pays the bills for big Pharma and its factotums is useful too.

        I agree: Covid is much more than Trump. If anything, I think Trump was allowed to win the Presidency in order to implement the Plandemic. (The Hildebeast isn’t needed until later…)

        Trump’s role was to sow division, to separate the sheep from the goats. The sheep will march gleefully into the boxcars, while the goats will freeze in their bunkers until their cash becomes illegal.

          No. His win is part of what led to the globocappers to put the plan in motion.

          His win coincided with the rise of other populist leaders in Europe and elsewhere, along with Brexit.

          They shot their wad early out of fear. And they did everything they could to ensure that their puppets were placed appropriately to realize it.

            I got the mailing from Mass.gov to request a mail-in ballot.

            In 2020 I think they just sent me the mail-in, but perhaps I requested it, thinking I might not be in town.

            I was in town, so I took the mail-in to the polling place and asked whether I should use it. The answer was yes.

            As in 2020, I see no reason why I couldn’t have used the mail-in qua mail=in, then gone to the polls and voted again. Who would sort it all out?

            Would I be prosecuted for voting twice?

            Would the nice poll-watcher ladies know from looking at their voter-list-by-street-address that I had already voted?

            No battle plan ever survives first contact with the enemy. The WEF’s battle plan is no exception. It started going off the rails from Day One.

            That’s the problem with being a Bond Villian. You operate under the delusion that you can control everyone and everything from your secret dormant volcano lair while you sit stroking a Persian cat.

            I agree with you more than I disagree with you Owl, but I don’t see myself hopping the fence to your side on this one. I think Trump was part of the plan from the beginning. And I think the plan has been in effect since before Trump announced his candidacy, since before 2008, since before 9/11, and in a broader sense, before 1913.

            I think he’s still part of the plan – the “bad guy” to the Establishment’s “good guy”. Thus the raid on his (one of his) home today (well, yesterday now). Keep him the rallying point for the deplorables, going into the stolen election of 2022 and the non-election of 2024.

            Of course, I could be wrong, (probably not), but just maybe…

      Agree. And we have to realize also that this recurrance of ‘pandemics’ have always been scams.

      If you watch “Fauci’s First Fraud” and also the documentary about cancer cures, you see the pattern that the medical industrial complex has been systematically working up to covid19 for 100 years. They want us completely dependent on drugs to be able to function and live. They need patients for life in order for big pharma and the med industrial complex to keep profiting. The problem there is that their model sucks, and is unsustainable, and people are waking up.

      Beginning with my mom’s generation, who lived through the Great Depression, they have brainwashed us into believing in magic pills which cure everything. I think my mom’s generation bought into it even more than mine; my generation seems to have caused a resurgence of natural cures. At least we used to. Then they turned up the crank when the AIDS fiasco happened. Again, all engineered.

            Happi, Dave, et al, this is quite amusing and insightful. I knew that various elixirs for “ladies’ problems” were available, particularly in the U.K., most of which were heavy on the laudanum sauce.

            I did not realize that the addictions were as widespread as you claim, but upon reflection it does not seem so unusual: life was hard, bitter and painful for most people. Even the very wealthy, and their families, were at risk of a sudden infection or attack of the dreaded lockjaw, which could end their days.

            I recently read that adventurers heading into the Wild West (starting, what, around Tennessee?) would customarily have every last one of their teeth extracted before leaving civilization, as an infected tooth could bring on blood poisoning and you’d be dead before you knew it.

            Hospitals were places you went to die, out of sight. Hey, maybe it’s becoming that way all over again, with the Cootie-19…

            hmuller, I have also read a long time ago that Turkish adults going out to work the opium poppy fields early in the morning would wad up opium extract in a cloth and stick it in the mouth of their two-year-olds, so they would spend the day safely, in a pleasant daze, without much supervision.

            It also meant (obviously) that as toddlers the kids would already be junkies.

        Yes, the earlier “pandemic” scares about various flus that always seemed to fizzle out had left me feeling blah about all of this s— and not inclined to take the new “covid-19” thing very seriously. I had never had a flu shot. Certainly not gonna start now!!

        Despite the Chinese supposedly keeling over in the street like ten-pins. Frankly, the whole covid narrative (especially when “they” came up with that name for the new illness) all had a surreal glow of a Chinese puppet opera.

        “The chemical imbalance theory of depression is well and truly dead. A paper by Joanna Moncrieff and colleagues, longtime critics of the effectiveness of antidepressants, has caused a splash. The paper provides a summary of other summaries that confirm there is no evidence to support the idea that depression is caused by disturbance of the brain’s serotonin system.”

        There’s no doubt in my mind psychiatrists will continue to prescribe them and even more dangerous (as in bad side effects) anti-psychotic drugs. The whole field of mental health treatment is a gold mine and on last night’s CBS news there was a brief segment on teen mental health, how they were “under treated”, and — they came right out and said this — there’s billions to be made in treating them.

        They won’t leave the kids alone unless it’s to close the schools, churches and rec centers where they could actually meet a friend.

          It’s horrid when I think of all the friends I have on SSRIs.

          They are awful. I am thankful this report came out but, much like the reports that puberty blockers are horrible for children, this will be ignored as braindead or greedy medics continue to prescribe them.

          • SW August 8, 2022 at 5:37 pm #

            SSRIs are not benign drugs even if they don’t work. A person has to come off them slowly to minimize withdrawal that feels like electric shocks in their brain. And when I was working in the hospital, I saw one case of serotonin poisoning and it can kill you.

            Benzos (valium, ativan, klonopin) were presented for years as perfectly harmless and they’re highly addictive.

      The Repo Market froze up in September, 2019, with rates overnight going to 10%. The implication was clear: there was going to need to be another bailout because the system was seizing up, again. Except: last time there was a bailout, the House originally voted against it, with letters to Congressmen overwhelmingly against it; Walter Jones said his letters were “no” and “hell, no.”

      How to remove opposition to the bailout? Maybe unemploy the great number of the people so they would BEG for a bailout instead of opposing it. How to do that? Well, we have this “pandemic” killing .26% of the infected, but it does kill a lot of old, fat, comorbid people who have time to write to Congress, so maybe if we lock down in an attempt to save them…

      It’s definitely not just Trump, though getting rid of him was part of it.

      A long time ago, I had a very enlightening conversation with an accountant. We were discussing the IRS. He asked me if I knew anyone who had ever been audited by the IRS. I said no. He told me that the IRS was big on hiring black women from big cities as audit agents, and that black women were afraid of small town rednecks, and they refused to come out to the rural areas to do audits. So diversity hires might be a good thing.

      • cowbell81 August 8, 2022 at 10:54 am #

        So they’ll end up auditing all the rich libtards in their big high rise condos of the major metropolitan centers. The auditor agents can just shoot and loot their way in, since that seems the way of doing business in our big cities these days.

      • Beryl of Oyl August 8, 2022 at 11:14 am #

        Rain, I had a friend from Queens, New York, a white woman and old-fashioned liberal, who was afraid of rural poor white folk.

        The last time I was at out local IRS, the workers, black and white, were whining about their jobs and also could not help me with my questions about something I wanted to claim on my tax return.

        They could only advise me on what I needed to hang on to in case I got audited.

        • cowbell81 August 8, 2022 at 11:31 am #

          They probably couldn’t help you with questions on your tax return claim because that could be construed as providing tax advise and services. I experienced the same thing when working as a courthouse clerk – couldn’t provide very simple answers or resolutions to the public’s problem, otherwise I could be accused of providing legal advise. We weave such a dense web that it is difficult to get anything done or even provide simple services, all in the name of not showing favoritism (or running afoul of the American Bar Association and tax professionals).

          • Islander August 8, 2022 at 12:21 pm #

            Well, quite a few jurisdictions have departments specifically for helping the public to do their own legal work, make their own filings, etc. The effectiveness of those departments depends on the staff, and some of them are very competent.

          • Islander August 8, 2022 at 12:22 pm #

            PS. This was pre-covid.
            I can’t speak for now.
            But my experience with this department of the Suffolk County (NY) court back in ca. 2015 was positive.

      • Wizard of the Saddle August 9, 2022 at 5:34 pm #

        They OUGHT to be afraid. In fact, they should be VERY afraid. Mess with the wrong white rural rednecks and it WILL end badly for them.

        Best they keep their fat, entitled, asses in the Big City where they are free to annoy all those simpy, Beta male, Wokesters making big bucks in tech jobs.

    • Blackbird August 8, 2022 at 11:09 am #

      Yes, these 85,000 “diversity, inclusion, and equity” hires may be incompetent, but they will be ruthless, hunting down whitey for the smallest financial irregularity, whether real or imagined.

      • Beryl of Oyl August 8, 2022 at 11:17 am #

        My local post office was hiring a bunch of these types several years back, during the Obama administration. No one who worked there knew why they were hired, or where they were coming from.

        The people would be very surly about having to do any work or being told what to do by a senior employee.

        • cowbell81 August 8, 2022 at 11:36 am #

          I don’t sign the back of my credit card. Every time I wanted to use it to pay for stamps at the post office they would demand that I sign it in front of them or they would refuse that method of payment. This was even after I showed them my government issued ID, they still refused to accept an unsigned card. But if I signed it right in front of them, even if I am forging a signature because it is a stolen card, well at least it is now signed and they could accept it! Now, where is the common sense in that?

          I argued and refused on this two times, after which I refused to buy stamps in person or just paid in cash. Otherwise I would buy online and pay their $1.25 convenience fee to have the stamps shipped to my house.

          Bunch of complete bureaucratic incompetents and idiots.

          • hmuller August 8, 2022 at 10:16 pm #

            Today, the post office sent another package addressed to me to the wrong zip code. (I see it by the tracking data). Third time this year.
            But it could be worse. In April a package worth $1800 “disappeared” inside the Las Vegas post office. Fortunately, insurance paid for it. But now that company won’t deal with me except via UPS overnight at an additional charge to me of $13 per package. Like it’s my fault they operate in a city that’s the moral cesspool of America with a post office full of thieves.

          • Blackbird August 10, 2022 at 1:08 am #

            I used to sign my credit cards “Ask For ID”. I think twice someone actually read what I wrote and asked for my ID (I hope they’ve moved on to meaningful employment since then…). These are the people safe-guarding our financial security – like the monkeys at the airport doing the caber toss with your luggage.

        • Islander August 8, 2022 at 12:23 pm #

          I have noticed that most diversity hires at the local PO are quite lackadaisical and officious. Not “eager to serve the public.”

          I’m still reeling from your comment last week about how the only thing Whites brought to this continent was turpentine. Outside of that, they were just another bunch of warring tribes no different than the “Native Americans”.

          • Beryl of Oyl August 8, 2022 at 12:50 pm #

            OMG Jarek, that is not what I said and you know it. As for the turpentine, it wasn’t “whites” it was some of my people.

            They didn’t take anyone else’s country, because it wasn’t a country.

            They didn’t even come from another country. They went from one region to another.

            BTW, McDonald’s has pies (after a fashion) for all you pastry-challenged males out there.

            At least that’s what I’ve heard.

            I admit no such thing Jarek.

            I was developing an idea for a franchise, Pies For Guys, with a bike up window and pretty girls dressed like June Cleaver handing out pie warm from the oven.

            Then I realized you drag queens and trannies would be all over that like bot flies, and it would go out of business because what man wants someone with a five o’clock shadow and green hair waiting on him?

            Not every comment posted here about the price of rice in China, the Van Allen Belt, or the weather Latvia is about Jarek and his particular hobby horse.

            Ant: Here are the the posts themselves. I wasn’t unfair in the least.

            Beryl: Before the Europeans stepped foot on this continent in significant numbers, the inhabitants were divided into tribes along “ethnic” lines, and constantly rowing with each other.

            All the early settlers did was introduce new groups and fighting along political lines.

            August 5, 2022 at 12:10 pm #
            But you see, the “early settlers” aren’t just a group of new tribes, they happen to be your tribe. And yes, in the end they did coalesce. And they were doing it again later one with the newer White immigrant groups.

            You talk like you’re the omniscient narrator in a Play or a Novelist talking about their novel. No you’re a character in the story. And like any character, you are nothing without your people.

            Such humility (from the root hummus or earth) is one of the psychological secrets to survival, Beryl.

            “All the early settlers did was introduce new groups and fighting along political lines.”

            In other words, our coming was just more of the same old same old. The so called Native Americans were already here doing what we would do.

            We’re the Native Americans. They were just living here. They were in our way. They got moved out of our way.

            August 5, 2022 at 2:51 pm #
            Jarek, in terms of groups finding reasons to fight, that IS all they did.

            They made turpentine too, but that is not relative to my point either.

            Jarek: So it was written. The scrolls reveal an ugliness that rivals your own, abeit in an another area. But mark: Her views aren’t unusual or radical in the least. That we are nothing special is what Whites are supposed to think and do think. Your views in contrast, that men are trash and shouldn’t get to see their own children if the woman doesn’t want them to, are rather extreme, though not altogether rare. Typical radical feminism.

            John Az sees nothing wrong is what she said. Nor would most Whites. That simply means we’re a dead tree in the forest, our nation no more.

            A lot of people (even some women) would be against your pov. But it is no uglier than hers and theirs.

          That’s the silver lining: These black females will do nothing except sit on their double-wide posteriors texting with their girlfriends on their iPhones and God help the foolish supervisor who DARES to discipline them or otherwise make any demands on them that they perform actual work of any kind.

          I know. I used to have to supervise quite a few of them. It was a fool’s errand. They are impossible to motivate and once hired, they are nearly impossible to fire. You’ll be entangled in an EEOC dispute over it until Hell freezes over.

          So, Biden Regime IRS, go ahead, MAKE MY DAY, by hiring 87,000 Afro-Biatches to become auditors. All you’ll do is increase the federal deficit! Bwa-ha-ha-ha!!

            @ Wizard of the Saddle:

            One of my old friends retired from the Post Office a couple of years ago. He said that many of the “diversity hires” flatly refused to do any work at all. If a supervisor told them to do something, they simply refused–and there was nothing the supervisor could do about it. My friend shared an office with one of those women for a number of years.

            My friend also told me that physical fights were common–usually two black women fighting over a man. Often people were fired but would be rehired in six months or so with full back pay.

    • cbeard August 8, 2022 at 11:17 am #

        “Yes, the IRS is already full of people who are incompetent ”

        I had a recent experience of said incompetency and wastage of paper and postage, emanating from some central IRS office in Colorado.

        the idea of recounting the flurry of useless bulletins I received from the IRS for months after I had settled the problem promptly (caused by an arithmetic error by my tax preparer) is exhausting. But I did keep all of the communications, carrying contrary messages and showing that the left hand had zero idea of what the right hand was doing, and wrote a letter detailing the timeline of ridiculousness.

        Know what? This resulted in a whole nother blizzard of right hand/left hand bulletins. Someone must be getting paid by the volume of IRS mail they send to citizens.

        As far as I can tell the pathogen was merely cold and flu season rebranded.

        • workingclasshero August 8, 2022 at 11:55 am #

          As I’ve posted before, I got Covid, and it is real and it’s not the flu. The crime is denial of alternative treatment options for an ailment that can be much worse than traditional seasonal flu. I can forgive the mistake of going with a dangerous and ineffective vaccine, but not continuing with it after evidence became apparent that it was ineffective. These idiots simply don’t want to admit a mistake especially since monopoly profits are at stake along with the power grab of forcing dumb compliance on the masses.

          • Jarek August 8, 2022 at 12:31 pm #

            I picked up something around New Year’s that may have been omicron. Can’t say for sure because I don’t do the fake tests.

            For me that episode was a bad cold/normal flu. I had a fever and aches for a few days, that was about all.

That ultra-relaxed, warm velvet feeling – like the first couple teaspoons of a codeine-based cough syrup. The next two or three days were the standard mild head cold. Were I a belieber, I’d add my voice to the chorus, “I got Covid too!” But, having absolutely no confidence in the medical racket, I upped my intake of water and oranges and went on with my life.

            Now if I die in a motorcycle crack-up, with a papaya tied to my belt (as is the fashion ’round these parts) – damn right it was Covid!

So I was online a lot at work trying to figure out how save myself…. I read about a Nigerian healer and this and that but what resonated with me in the end was what I found and read on Duesberg’s website. That was around late 2003.

            Everything Duesberg said I witnessed with my own eyes working in Africa. For example, there were never mass burials, there were a lot of very highly paid foreigners in the AIDS health biz including Africans, the population was growing and the PCR test would read positive one day and negative the next because “the virus could hide in the brain” etc, etc.

            At the end of it all, I reached a stage where I to flirting with the idea of marrying a beautiful albeit “HIV positive” girl because I had become so convinced that it was all a horrible hoax based on greed and indifferent malevolence…. My position on this historic Hoax will never change. I’ve moved on and learned one thing – Reason is a self-serving god.

            I’m reluctant to talk openly about Salvia divinorum. Too many idiots out there (looking at you Miley Cyrus) abusing it.

    “My personal theory is that the Covid-19 release was wholly and entirely about getting rid of Donald Trump and nothing else.”

    That’s a rather limited view considering that Trump was president of only one nation, while the powers-that-be are trying to vax the entire planet—and that the fallout from that program has created a dire political mess in many countries, not just in America.

          best way to conserve energy . .. ?

      • John K August 8, 2022 at 10:33 am #

        A combination of all those things, and more (like engineered food shortages, for one thing). “Covid-19” for me is kind of an umbrella term that includes all the other mischief.

      I fear that all the conjecture about the adverse effects of the vax may be real but other than a reference to all-cause deaths among the young (by a life insurance exec) I see little to support it….and even that one mention seems to have died on the vine????

      When will some hard numbers prove this to even the most woke members of our society?

      • malthuss August 8, 2022 at 11:47 am #

      They could not have him standing as a bulwark against their goals, as he did against the Paris Accord nuttery.

      So yes, that release at this time was meant to bring him down.

      • Redneck Liberal August 8, 2022 at 6:49 pm #

        The FULL quote, in context, from a TED Talk in 2010 is:

        “The world today has 6.8 billion people.?That’s?headed up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent. But there, we see an increase of about 1.3.”

        • hmuller August 9, 2022 at 12:20 am #

          I’m confused, RL. How do legitimate vaccines lower the population? That would only happen if there’s something special in the vaccine to sterilize or even kill the recipient.

          • Redneck Liberal August 9, 2022 at 5:21 am #

            The general expectation is that improved health, over time, lowers the birth rate. Secure people don’t need an army of offspring to support them in old age. It’s been demographically proven for decades.

          • Jarek August 9, 2022 at 11:15 am #

            Yeah, so much so that really thriving civilizations don’t even bother to have enough kids to even replace themselves, right?

            There’s nothing healthier than extinction. So why wait? Why not just put something special in the vaccines and speed up the process?

            Of course in earlier times, it never went that far. Life isn’t a test tube experiment in a hermetically sealed lab. Other forces step in and take over the dying nation, either invaders or aliens who had come in to work the jobs the softies wouldn’t do anymore. Quality of life stuff, right?

          While do you repeatedly refuse to deal with the evidence that the disease is entirely treatable and therefore no ‘vaccine’ was ever necessary, which means that every person who died and will die from the ‘vaccine’ died and will die unnecessarily (and with malice aforethought).

          Double whammy: murder by withholding of treatment and murder by known-to-be-unnecessary ‘vaccine’.

    Well, we’re getting a million EV Charging Stations, installed in sundry locations cross the US, including National and State Parks, points in the wilderness, and for purposes of equity and inclusion, inside inner city ghettos. My opinion, based upon recent trends, is that these EV Charging Stations — which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars apiece — will quickly be vandalized and strip mined for the copper and any other precious metals they contain.

    “It’s not feasible financially, even with subsidies, to switch-out all the internal combustion cars and trucks for electric vehicles, which would have to run on power generated at its source mainly by natural gas and coal.”

    Ask yourself three simple questions:

    1) How much electricty ( KWH’s) does it take to run an EV for one mile?

    2) How many miles do Americans drive in a year?

    3) How much electricty (MW) is generated in the US per year?

    This is a math problem you could do on the back of a cocktail napkin. Either everyone will be driving a whole lot less, or very few will have cars. And that is likely the plan. If you control the ability of people to travel, you control them.

      This is a little of topic. I go to Yahoo for some of my leftist news. Yesterday I read an article titled, “Cost of Mining Bitcoin in 198 Countries”. This is what they had to say.

      “It takes an estimated 1,449 kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy to mine a single bitcoin. That’s the same amount of energy an average U.S. household consumes in approximately 13 years.”

      So it seems to me there are many modern conveniences that are simply unsustainable in light of the left’s war on fossil fuels.

      • cowbell81 August 8, 2022 at 10:56 am #

        In response to your last sentence:

        That and the big air conditioning units and condensers that are on the roofs of all huge Wal-Marts, shopping complexes, and other large apartment buildings. Time to take these out of service and bring back the open windows and box fans.

        • Beryl of Oyl August 8, 2022 at 11:36 am #

          They keep constructing those high-rise welfare towers all over the world, and the most recent argument for putting up those things and filling them with immigrants is that they are the most “efficient” way to live, I guess because they are on bus lines or something, but that’s patent nonsense, because in such buildings you not only cannot stay cool without the A/C on, you can’t even get up and downstairs without using electricity.

          I was talking with someone roughly my age once, about a local historic movie theater, and I happened to mention that it was not air-conditioned when it opened.

          He would not believe me. It was not air conditioned, because they did not have air-conditioning back then.

          Hospitals were hot in the summer too. They had windows that opened.

          • cowbell81 August 8, 2022 at 11:41 am #

            Exactly, sweat a little, lost some weight, open a window. Heaven forbid people be a little inconvenienced or uncomfortable for a few weeks each summer.

            Good point about the elevators. Back in the day lack of elevators kept buildings at a reasonable height, and forced people to actually walk stairs and exercise!

            We need to get back to basics. Buildings no more than 5 stories high, no elevators or air conditioning, windows that open. For home look to the southern architecture, with deep wide porches and verandas, and a house raised off the ground so that air can circulate beneath the building. Otherwise, have a root cellar or basement you can escape to during the dog days of summer.

          • Islander August 8, 2022 at 12:54 pm #

            Friends in Tucson live in a house that was designed by some local architect in the thirties. Not nationally known, but a regional architect.

            They have some arrangement—can’t recall the details—that creates a flow of air over water . . . Cools the air and cools the house.

            And then there are caves . . .

            Instead of building hgh-rises, perhaps our overlords should be digging low-rises . . .

      • Graham August 8, 2022 at 1:05 pm #

        There is something wrong with your stated numbers. As I look at my current power bill issued here in Ontario for 1 month it says I used 1990 KWH . A little high for the average homeowner but there is a separate apartment included with that number.

        • RocketDoc August 8, 2022 at 2:42 pm #

          You are right. I checked my utility bill and it’s 2200 kWh for last month. We have had a rather nasty 11% base increase and a surcharge for overconsumption. Coupled with a hot July we have a $150 increase in electricity costs. Perhaps the average monthly US consumer is at 1400 kWh which would make one bitcoin comparable to a households’ ONE MONTH electric consumption. Still a lot for vaporware….

        • mrs_saj August 8, 2022 at 8:21 pm #

          Graham,

          Thanks for checking. The article could be wrong or have a typo. I copied and pasted the quote so I wouldn’t botch it.

          But the translation into residential power usage boggled my mind. So it seems it is wrong relative to your electric bill as a data point.

          Thanks,
          Mrs. SAJ

      • Hardrock August 8, 2022 at 3:08 pm #

        Mrs_saj quoted the article correctly. I found it at Visual Capitalist written by Carmen Ang who linked to a .gov site for her numbers, However, that site contradicts her “13 Year” figure.

        Based on .gov numbers, mining one bit coin requires electricity equivalent to 1.6 months usage of the average US home

        So those who called BS on this can take it up with Carmen Ang.

        • mrs_saj August 8, 2022 at 8:23 pm #

          Thanks! I like when we fact check each other. I feel it makes us all smarter.

      • Bilejones August 9, 2022 at 2:04 pm #

        And the fact that the energy usage is off by a factor of 1,000 tells us everything we need to know about the clown who wrote that gibberish and the morons who believe and promote it.

        • RocketDoc August 9, 2022 at 5:09 pm #

          So perhaps it takes a Megawatt to produce a bitcoin? My kWh’s cost 12 cents so 2,000 is $240 and would equal 2 MWh. It would make a lot of sense to mine a bitcoin for $120–returning a profit of $20,000+, No? In fact, If we assume 1,000 kWh/month or 1 MWh/month then it would be “reasonable” to use 13 years of monthly residential energy use: $120/month times 12 month times 13 years for a total cost of $18,700 and a profit of approx $4,000. But this whole calculation strikes me as a lot of something for an imaginary nothing.

          • Hardrock August 10, 2022 at 2:50 pm #

            RocDoc:

            Your calculations are correct but do not factor in the cost of the hardware to use all that electricity. That cost can be considerable….these guys are not running used chromebooks.

    • mitchellc August 8, 2022 at 10:58 am #

      Nice comment. Now, take it a step further; project what happens:

      – Less mobility, less production, less consumption.

      – The debt money system requires growth

      – the result is either collapse/bankruptcy or “monetary defense” aka printing/inflation

      The US is a highly unstable society, barely functioning even while conjuring $trillions to pacify a huge underclass, so of course the answer is debasement

      The results are:

      – dispersed rural dies

      – cities become even more violent war zones

      – that means suburbs are the last stand. They will in turn:

      — begin to more closely resemble villages with mixed use housing/commercial activities

      — facilitate shared transport (Uber et al) and bike substitutes (whether EV or peddle power)

      ***

      We know the existing power generation/grid cannot handle future demand via “renewables”, so see return of nuclear and build out infrastructure programs

      We know the demographic changes initiated generations ago to replace highly expectant, highly entitled natives with lower demand imports is now baked in

      ***

      OK, add it up

      1. Transitioning suburbs are the future
      2. New demographics facilitate lower expectations
      3. Nuclear power to (literally) keep the lights on
      4. Runaway inflation

      Soooo, own housing in the burbs, learn the new dominant language, watch for return of nukes, note growth of bikes, hold hard assets to ride inflationary wave

      • Anthea August 8, 2022 at 6:14 pm #

        Seems to me that rural areas should do okay. They can produce food. The have enough housing for their current population. The thrift store in my area is continually bursting with clothing and almost everything else you could ever want. Returning to a strictly local economy might seem like rather austere lifestyle to some–though not to many of the rural poor.

        I think you’d see people turning their attention to how they could make a living in a very local market. I’ll bet they’d figure something out.
        1910
        The Amish manage very well without cars or electricity. There would be an inadequate supply of horses for awhile.

        Old fire insurance maps for my area for 1900 and 1910 show that the small rural towns of that era were very prosperous. The nearest town to me (population 5,000) had every business that was conceivable at that time–even though the population was only about 2,000 back then. There was even an opera house.

        • hmuller August 9, 2022 at 12:31 am #

          So I guess someone could claim to be the greatest opera singer in a town of 2,000. Sounds like Mayberry without the moonshine.

          • Anthea August 10, 2022 at 10:40 pm #

            @ hmuller:

            The town’s opera house was really more along the lines of a theater for plays and musicals–and community activities.

            “Opera houses were central to American life from the end of the Civil War through the 1920s. Most towns and cities, from small to large, had at least one opera house. This was the golden age of the opera house, and it is no coincidence that this period was also the golden age of popular entertainment, fraternities, coal mining, and railroads. All these aspects of American life converged in the opera house. Little, if any, opera was actually performed in these buildings. An opera house was a community entertainment and meeting hall….

            “The opera house was never used exclusively for theatrical performance. It was a part of the fabric of the community and was used for anything and everything that a large indoor space could provide for.”

            “America’s great cities wouldn’t consider themselves great if they lacked proper venues for artistic
            performance and public assembly. But in the 19th
            century, the same was true for even the smallest burg.
            Civic pride and necessity led to the erection of many
            fine small-town opera houses, public halls and fraternal
            lodge auditoriums in the era from the 1860s to 1890s.
            They were the gathering place for any event requiring
            seating for a few hundred to a thousand or more – high
            school graduations, town celebrations, touring lecturers,
            performers and, yes, the occasional opera.”

            I’ve omitted links, since including them would “disappear” my post.

            Interestingly, the town of 5,000 near me has, to my knowledge, never had a movie theater, even though, in the early 1900s (and probably earlier) it could support an opera house with about one-third of its present population.

            You might look online at the Sanborn Fire Insurance maps of your own town or the little towns in your area, to see the types of businesses and amenities that rural towns enjoyed in 1900-1910. You will be surprised at the level of prosperity and the availability of amenities of all kinds.

            The little town nearest me even had a small college back in 1910–and also a cannery.

            The town had hotels and restaurants, picture framers, photographers, several grocers, furniture stores, and much more. They also had a livery stable (of course), and a stockyard. One thing that is conspicuously absent is a doctor’s office. (Back then, you didn’t go to the doctor; the doctor came to you.)

            To me, the quality of life many people enjoyed before fossil fuels looks pretty good. Since probably about half the population were family farmers, much of the work was physically demanding and involved being outdoors in all kinds of weather. But anyone who has experienced both outdoor work and a desk job will tell you that it’s the desk job that kills both body and soul.

    • Hardrock August 8, 2022 at 11:14 am #

      OK, I fell for it….can’t resist a math problem.

      1) How much electricty ( KWH’s) does it take to run an EV for one mile?

      0.346kWh

      2) How many miles do Americans drive in a year?

      3.719 TRILLION

      3) How much electricty (MW) is generated in the US per year?

      4.116 Trillion kWh

      So if all vehicles were electric, it would require

      1.286 Trillion kWh

      which would be about a third of all our electric output to power our vehicles.

      Is this what your napkin said? I barely passed my last math class and that was 50 years ago.

      And then you’ve got to factor in all the hassles/costs of electric. I read a recent story about a teen girl who was given an old electric car. Five months later the batteries needed replacement…..cost $14,000.

    • BackRowHeckler August 8, 2022 at 3:19 pm #

      Very few will have cars, the top 5% driving $179,000 Lucid Airs and $300,000 GM Escalade EVs. The other 95% — the Proles — will be walking or riding on stinking buses with the mentally ill and vagrants.

      This will be the cause of much resentment and many vandalized EVs.

      If Proles can’t drive, nobody drives.

      • GreenAlba August 8, 2022 at 6:58 pm #

        There won’t be many vandalised EVs. There will be facial recognition cameras everywhere and it will take a lot less than a vandalised EV to put you in an internment camp with a crematorium beside it, like this one.

        northantslive.news/news/northamptonshire-news/wellingborough-mega-prison-how-many-5964646

        You can’t even jaywalk in China without automatically losing social credit points, let alone vandalise cars. The AI in the cameras can find a face in a football stadium in seconds.

But 30 or so Free States could pull out of this constitutional compact and make a pretty good go of re-establishing a reasonable and tolerable facsimile of the glorious Old Republic. The new flag for them should be a Confedarate battle flag with 30 stars and the letters F.A.F.O. emblazoned across it.

    Isn’t it convenient that Biden tested negative for the Covid right in time for this trip to visit the good people of Kentucky? This is likely on purpose, so he can spread it among the masses down there and begin another wave of sickness and lock-downs.

    “Fleas can be taught nearly anything that a Congressman can.”

    “An honest man in politics shines more there than he would elsewhere.”

      “If you’re born in capitalist America, racist America, fascist America, then you’re born in sin. But if you’re born in socialism, you’re not born in sin.”

      • Jarek August 8, 2022 at 12:44 pm #

        Jones was a prophet born ahead of his time. The Democratic Party became exactly what he was. If only they would seek the same end. But alas, he only did that when he was about to go down.

        • thirdcoastlegend August 8, 2022 at 12:52 pm #

          The real trouble is that Jones and the Dems want to take as many of us as possible with them.

    Even if by some miracle, the Republicans do succeed in November, I have little faith in these feckless twits to actually have the balls to go after Biden and the deep state.

    Their track record doesn’t make me very optimistic. More than likely, they’ll go through some charade to make the proles think they’re on their side, but behind the scenes, they’ll laugh and continue on as usual.

      The Republicans are the deep state. Just as the Democrats. Get them ALL out of office and start over.

      • JohnAZ August 8, 2022 at 12:02 pm #

        No! The GOP is divided, because of Deplorables. The Deep State lovers in the GOP. the Bush supporters, the RINOs, comprise a hefty part of the GOP machine. The Deplorables however, the meat of the party, support Trump as the CPAC group just voted.

        Trump needs to take his troops to a third party ASAP. If he sticks with the current GOP they will assist the Deep State to crucify him.

        • JohnAZ August 8, 2022 at 12:05 pm #

          The first thing he needs to do is repudiate the vaxx and regret his part in it in 2020. Then support the folks trying to identify what the Deep State tried to do to poison the public.

          Can Congress impeach Fauci? Or conduct an investigation, like Jan. 6 to convict him of murder?

          • SW August 8, 2022 at 4:05 pm #

            I wish Trump would face the reality that he’s too old to be president. He’s not senile like Biden but to divide the party would be a gift to whomever is on the Democratic ticket (my guess — Newsome for president and Stacy Abrams as vice or Pete Buttigewhateverhisnameis). The country is more important than Trump and the problems in two years are going to be worse. If he really does care about America, he should help select and support deSantis or another strong candidate.

            I would love to see Fauci spend his golden years as a Walmart greeter but it’ll never happen. He knows too much about too many people but most importantly, he’s solidly on their team.

        • Wizard of the Saddle August 10, 2022 at 12:38 pm #

          No. Drive OUT the bloody RINO’s and let THEM enjoy the frustration and utter futility of trying to gain ballot access as a 3rd Party.

          The fastest path to power for MAGA is a wholesale takeover of the GOP from the RINO’s.

          This would also effect the RUPTURE of the UniParty as a REAL “Right Wing” actually severs itself from the UniParty Buzzard that squats on Washington. The remaining crippled buzzard will soon hemorrhage to death. A bird with only one left wing can only attempt to fly in endless circles, going nowhere and achieving nothing.

    • JohnAZ August 8, 2022 at 11:57 am #

      That is why Trump or someone that can out Trump Trump is the only hope to undo the damage that the Deep State has done.

      Trump as a lame duck president, scares the bejeesus out of the Deep State including the Coastal liberal RINOs. He represents the fly over Red states that have been screwed by the Lib leaning Deep State. If he gets in control of the executive branch again, especially if Congress would remain in conservative patriotic hands, he could rip a wide hole in the Liberal piece of crap our federal government has become.

      It is really a demographics issue. Is the US still the US? Or a collection of trash from around the world looking for a handout. Give trash the vote and you get a trashy government.

      The US is rapidly becoming a non-entity anyway. As the Dems, in their haste to destroy an American culture and identity, drive us further down economically, the exodus is already underway. First from Blue states to Red states then abroad after the Reds turn blue.

      It amazes me that people are so hidebound and stupid that they move from California to Texas, bitching all the way, then vote Democrat in Texas.

    Jim,

    Great post as always. You alluded (both last Friday and today) about folks higher up in the government medical apparatus beginning to realize they’d entangled themselves in something that it would be difficult to get out of. See quotes below.

    “The emperor’s new clothes hang in shreds. Rumor is that many upper-level employees in these public health agencies are increasingly freaked out by their now-obvious complicity in a momentous crime. They know they will have to answer for allowing the mRNA fiasco to get this far, for going along to get along, and they’re preparing to mutiny to save their own asses. Wait for it.”

    “But really, at this point, many public health officials must be secretly wondering how they will evade prosecution.”

    This has not generated the chatter in the comments as I had anticipated. I am very curious as to what you are hearing (without divulging sources of course). Are you anticipating a multitude of convenient retirements? Fauci of course is in too deep for a retirement to untangle him. Gottlieb left the FDA and I believe is now comfortably ensconced on the Board of Directors at Pfizer, go figure.

    Thanks,
    Mrs_SAJ

    • Beryl of Oyl August 8, 2022 at 11:40 am #

      Fauci should hang.

      • cowbell81 August 8, 2022 at 11:58 am #

        Careful there, saying that could net you several months, if not years, in a Federal pen. Apparently Fauci has our best interests at heart, no bad words are to be spoken and no harm should ever come to him.

        • JohnAZ August 8, 2022 at 12:07 pm #

          Yes, remember that the Deep State runs everything now and has the NSA in its hip pocket. Everything we write here can be read by the DS.

          Saying someone should hang is not saying you are going to go out and hang them.

          • cowbell81 August 9, 2022 at 8:37 am #

            It could plant the seed of thought in someone else’s mind though, and later lead to action. It is a slippery slope, and no doubt the deep state would use any excuse to their advantage in order to prosecute those they deem the opposition.

    “They won’t when fraud is proven in a court of law. ” <- fraud isn't taken seriously in this country, it should be prosecuted on all levels if we want to fix what our host described last week as "…a culture of immersive and pervasive dishonesty."

    "My personal theory is that the Covid-19 release was wholly and entirely about getting rid of Donald Trump and nothing else,…" <- The lockdowns and destroying the economy and fraudulently using it as an excuse for mail-in ballots was about getting rid of Trump.

    "The IRS will get 85,000 “diversity, inclusion, and equity” hires, meaning new dimensions in institutional incompetence and torpor." <- Incompetence hurts taxpayers since their mistakes will come in two flavors- 1) in the governments favor so that taxpayers waste their personal time and money defending themselves and the government spends taxpayer money in non-productive collection efforts. 2) when they make mistakes that overlook tax fraud we taxpayers lose the legitimate use of those funds since frauds won't identify themselves.

    " Individual state’s attorney generals could sue on the grounds of the federal government’s abrogating the states’ constitutional duty to manage their own elections." <- In order to hear an Obama speech when he first ran I had to donate to his campaign. I got on a "Democratic AG" e-mail list. Everyone is worried about Democratic district attorneys now but they have also been pushing the Attorney General elections so don't look for help from the democratic attorney generals. They won't do anything.

        These are also parents (same mindframe at the very least) who blindly start their young children on hormone disrupters and sign for mutilating surgery. That’s the bad news. The good news, is only about 3% of children under 5 have been vaccinated. I hope that statistic is correct but I’m not sure how they arrived at it.

    “My personal theory is that the Covid-19 release was wholly and entirely about getting rid of Donald Trump and nothing else, in order to protect the permanent bureaucracy, a.k.a. the deep state”

    This seems somewhat US-centric; the covid-19 hoax is world-wide. I just don’t removing one US president as something that needed a global hoax, which is still ongoing 2 years later.

    • cowbell81 August 8, 2022 at 10:51 am #

      The Covid hoax is being used to the advantage of the WEF and globalists in more ways than one. The fact that they used it to get rid of Trump is only one small segment of the pie. All pieces of their puzzle are slowing falling into place.

      • thirdcoastlegend August 8, 2022 at 10:58 am #

        Trump had to go because as POTUS, despite his flaws and the legions of Deep State power against him, he was able to delay most of and even derail some of their plans for four years.

        The possibility that the Deplorables would vote hard enough to force another four year delay was totally unacceptable to the globalist crowd.

        • Beryl of Oyl August 8, 2022 at 11:47 am #

          He was also the American president. That meant something in the world.

      • MaryQueen August 8, 2022 at 11:25 am #

        Trump pushed the Covid19 hoax, kept Fauxi in place, and even bragged about Operation Warp Speed. He also continues to push the vaxxes.

        So, I’m not buying that he’s some sort of anti-WEF outsider.

            He blew it, with that task force. Plain and simple.

          • JohnAZ August 8, 2022 at 12:18 pm #

            Him, or Pence. Did Pence get a hot potato he was incapable of handling. Why would he appoint two well known Liberals to head up the task force? Were the two, Trump and Pence, stuck in a Deep State situation they could not get around?

          • Beryl of Oyl August 8, 2022 at 1:10 pm #

            President Trump allowed Pence to run the task force. Pence was no innocent bystander, he was a malevolent actor.

            President Trump should have had his Chief of Staff check out every person who was brought in.

            The president is the chief executive, the president presides, and he did not do his job, which was to make sure others did their jobs.

            Pence belongs in prison.

          • MaryQueen August 8, 2022 at 2:38 pm #

            LOL, neither am I but I figured out that covid was a hoax on day 1.

            Mary, he’s a known germaphobe who they knew would jump at the chance to do the ‘impossible’.

            Also, everything around the scamdemic was a hoax, but there was and still is an actual virus going around.

          • MaryQueen August 8, 2022 at 5:24 pm #

        • Beryl of Oyl August 8, 2022 at 11:45 am #

          He kept Fauci in place to pacify the MSM so they would give him the praise he felt he deserved for his Operation Warp Speed achievement.

          A lot of people with a lot of science and medicine credentials fell for that vaxx hoax.

          He chose to believe one set of “experts” over another.

          I am not saying he’s blameless over that task force. I’m saying the trap was laid out for him and he had no idea what he was walking into.

            Have you looked into Matthew Pottinger?

            He seems to have acted as a Svengali type and successfully exerted a disturbing amount of influence over the Trump administration’s Covid response.

            Pottinger is extremely pro-China. So much so I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a CCP plant.

          • Beryl of Oyl August 8, 2022 at 1:12 pm #

            Yes 3rd, he’s one of the links to the commies. Why would Pence even have such a person working for him?

          • Beryl of Oyl August 8, 2022 at 1:15 pm #

            He knows damn well that they are being made mandatory, and by continuing to endorse the shots as safe and effective, he gives cover to the Bidens who insist that the shots are necessary to end covid, which makes those of us who refuse them look selfish and unpatriotic.

          • MaryQueen August 8, 2022 at 2:40 pm #

            So? He still pushes the clot shot. He is just as culpable as all of the people many up here says should hang for what they’ve done.

        • Islander August 8, 2022 at 1:06 pm #

          I reckon Trump is/was basically as confused as the rest of us as to what was going on.

          More so, actually. Because closer to the sources of disinfo.

          Remember he wanted to take the USA out of WHO.

          At the time it seemed absurd, like bombing the Iran nuke agreement.

          Now it seems preternaturally canny!!

          • Beryl of Oyl August 8, 2022 at 1:25 pm #

            Pence had a woman working for him whose job it was to keep President Trump confused.

            However, a few MINUTES of due diligence would have made him understand that Fauci and Birx had to go, and nobody bothered.

            And…..once Dr, Scott Atlas came in and started talking sense, he still allowed Fauci and Birx to blather their nonsense and to bash Governor DeSants, who listened to Dr. Atlas.

            And… there is the fact that you didn’t have to be a scientist or doctor or any kind of “expert” at all, to know that wacky claptrap the task force was making up as they went along, was utter nonsense. Yet he stood there allowing them the floor.

            I blame the Trump fanatics who kept making excuses for him when he clearly had lost control and went down a road no president should go down.

            And NO he did not have to hire Fauci, and yes he could have and should have kicked him off the task force.

            He has said out loud, that he CHOSE not to fire Fauci, because the MSM wouldn’t have liked it. He wanted to keep them happy (as if) so they would praise him for Warp Speed.

            Am I the only one who sees this stuff?

            We needc to get rid of FEMA, and we need to get rid of the notion of emergency powers in general.

            Anyone who doesn’t go along with that is not fit for public office.

          • MaryQueen August 8, 2022 at 2:43 pm #

            The excuses for that POS is just really beyond the pale.

            Reminds me of when people excused Bernie Sanders for throwing them under the bus – TWICE.

            Trump is out for Trump. There are people in solitary confinement he does nothing to help, and he actually turned on his supporters re: J6.

            He pushed the clotshot, bragged about getting jabs in arms, oversaw the hellish lockdown.

            He doesn’t get a fucking pass.

          Well, if Trump learned anything from the past 7 years it’s that he is now in a fight to the finish and that includes his entire family.

          He also has learned that vetting your STAFF and other appointees matters a lot.

          Since he has a grudge to give it to the DS up the posterior, I’m sorta inclined to let him have a go of it. Especially since he will be operating with no re-election concerns.

          I’m not sure if it would even be possible to lay on enough of a popcorn supply in the cupboard to enjoy the entire 4-year show!

    What would I know? My guess is that they are making a grab for full control by any means possible, that they hope to have the digital currency ready behind the scenes (I don’t think it is prominent in the media fairytale narrative – but again what would I know as I don’t follow it – but it is no secret either). The can lock down for the virus du jour or for global warming, whatever looks best and I think they hope to starve everyone into submission, freeze them in the winter and cut fuel for vehicle. So, more or less what most people here think, I expect.

    I am as sceptical as before about the vaccine being a ‘bio weapon’. At least not through the ‘spike protein’ as I don’t really believe any of that stuff, the latest claim from Sweden that it can permanently alter DNA notwithstanding. The adjuvants, lipd particles and other dodgy addititives are another matter. (By the way, I don’t dismiss Ardis’s claim of snake venom being in them. Why not? They have put other things in.)

    I don’t know how to marry the above opinion with David Martin’s evidence of a planned bio weapon. Perhaps they really think they are doing this but they are morons as exemplified by Harari.

    I don’t k now about your chances with the vaccine being down to the ‘lots lottery’. I seem to recall early D dimer (spelling?) tests showing micro clotting in everyone but I expect the numbers tested were tiny.

    I expect Rendesivir and Midazolam plus ventilators are major cultprits although here again there is little clarity among the experts.

    On the other hand, if they find themselves facing serious resistance I expect they will simply stop and bide their time, and take it up again later on. Jordan Peterson made a good point along these lines last year.

    Anecdotal evidence suggests that things are not growing well around the world. That is not much to go on.

    They seem to be going at it from all possible angles, including affecting the weather with the absurd chemtrails. Looks like they are getting international machinery in place to enforce pandemic compliance on foot of WHO edicts. Even Satanic symbolism, which |I suspect is just thrown in to confuse.

    Once-satirical English magazine Private Eye used to jokingly call the Muslims the ‘Bombing community’. Now we are dealing with the Lying Community.

      Good summation. Yes, I think the only thing we can know conclusively at this point is that the vaxxes are to be avoided at all costs. I don’t what’s in them, I don’t know if some of them are placebos or not, and I’m not sure what they’re causing specifically, but I DO KNOW I don’t want the damn things circulating in my system. The idea that so many people would be so cavalier about injecting totally unknown and untested substances into their body based on spurious claims by known criminal enterprises is absolutely astonishing to me. And the more TPTB try to sell these things, the more I know something’s afoot.

        We don’t need to know – and almost certainly never will know – the truth about the alleged “virus”, the “disease(s)”, and the “vaccines”. All we really need to know is that we are being constantly (and inconsistently) lied to about these things. That should be enough to convince us not to cooperate in this Plandemic – or in anything else these lying bastards have in store for us.

          The only thing that one can do to combat whatever they are doing is to take the right supplements, eat a healthy diet, get in good shape, and get plenty of fresh air.

          I survived the entire plandemic without doing one ounce of ‘precaution’ without a sniffle.

          I don’t allow their poisons in my body and I don’t up my stress by watching the circus on CNN.

          “It is in your bloodstream. That is for keeps.”

          Oh? That doesn’t make sense. In fact, it’s not factually accurate.

          “The Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) estimates that the spike proteins that were generated by COVID-19 vaccines last up to a few weeks, like other proteins made by the body. The immune system quickly identifies, attacks and destroys the spike proteins because it recognizes them as not part of you

          • SpeedyBB August 9, 2022 at 5:16 am #

            All I know, RL, is what I read, but I do attempt to study seriously and thoroughly. While the spike proteins were initially assumed to stay in the muscles, honest researchers discovered that a number reportedly got loose and made their way throughout the body, where they contributed to the formation of micro-clots. The first alarm I read about this came from Canada, long before the autopsies, where the matter of rogue spike proteins came up.

            I would be very curious know the truth about the travails of Mr and Mrs Bieber, who seem to both have suffered an astonishingly rare condition. No mention was made of vaccination but we may assume they are both on the bandwagon.

          • Night Owl August 9, 2022 at 5:54 am #

            “(IDSA) estimates […]”

            Estimates.

            They estimate that that toxic protein stays in your body for weeks, and ofc, they fail to include the fact that the MRNA function is one of programming — where the cell is programmed to produce the protein.

            Check in with further estimates at your leisure, Nut.

          • Paula D August 9, 2022 at 9:09 pm #

            Exactly, Night Owl.
            The problem is the mRNA ensconced in your cells pumping out millions of copies of the spike protein which then rips its way through your body. Your immune system may take them out, but they’ll make more.

            Well, some “Scots” are descended from the remnants of the Brythonic Picts. Others are (swallow your pride Scotty) largely viking.

            But yes, it is ironic that the original “Scots” came from Ireland. Forced the Britons into the highlands. And got shipped back to Eire 12 centuries later to “Anglicize” Ireland.

            History – those who don’t learn from it, miss a fascinating story…

          • Jarek August 10, 2022 at 12:29 pm #

            No, it’s not ironic at all since Scotia was an ancient name for Ireland. Remember ye, a nation is the people not the land.

            It’s quite a dramatic story: A small clan trapped against the Irish sea by more powerful clans. Doomed to wither or be conquered. But they were fierce man and had good ships. They saw a power vacuum to the northeast across the water. Did they hesitate? Expand or contract, Black. Push or be pushed.

            Yes, the Picts fought long and hard – for centuries. Finally an alliance by marriage helped to create the modern nation.

        • Blackbird August 10, 2022 at 2:24 am #

          Phil Lynott?

          My understanding is that the “Black Irish” are descendants (i.e., retain more of the genetics) of the original, post-ice-age northwest European hunter-gatherers (dark skin, dark hair, blue eyes) that colonized Ireland and survived truncated waves (Eire is so far away and hard to get to) of invasion (by the “Indo-Europeans, their descendants the “Celts”, their other descendants the Norse, and of course those celto-germanic mongrels, the Bloody English).

          Distribution of DNA haplotypes seems to indicate relatively high degrees of survival of ancient pedigrees in the more remote areas of Europe (Ireland, the Basque country, Sardinia – and I suspect also northern Scandinavia [the Sami]).

          • Sean Coleman August 10, 2022 at 5:45 pm #

            Phil Lynnott is the best example I can think of too but I am not persuaded. for me it is a question of who you are, who your ancestors were. If you read a book like Douglas Hyde’s A Literary History Of Ireland the point is made that genealogies were traced back for centuries. When I was about twelve I questioned my father’s mother about her ancestry and she went back to to the mid-19thC. I wrote it down on a piece of paper which was later thrown out as part of the house cleaning. When you are that young you don’t really own anything, it was all common space.

            I have come to completely disbelieve conventional accounts like the one you mention. I even doubt there was an Ice Age and their methods of dating are worse than useless. My father’s side were not too tall, black hair and very broad. My mother’s side were fairer, tall and slimmer. I take after them in that respect.

            Both of my maternal grandmothers were surnamed Carroll or O’Carroll, by coincidence and my mother’s lot (here they say ‘her people’) were blow-ins in South Sligo, just north of Ballaghaderreen (now universally mispronounced as BalladrEEN instead of Ballagh-AD-Er-een. Some call it Allah-dreen). They arrived with O’Sullivan Bear’s band of desperadoes who, rebels against the crown, made their way up from West Cork in the early 17thC, picking up recruits on the way, and ended up near Monastaraden. All of this was common folk lore.

            My husband is Irish and we met a conductor on Amtrak that was half Basque and half Greek and he insisted that my husband had signs of Basque in him, which he said meant that there were traces of Neanderthal.

            Is that true? I have no idea, but the concept delights us and we frequently refer to his Basque/Neanderthal genes.

    I forgot to mention that there was apparently a full scale financial collapse just at the very start of the Covid scam in spring 2020, the results of 40 years at least of playing the system. They have no restraint although that does not tie in well with Petersen’s statement (above) that when they meet any resistance they just stop and pick it up again later.

    • Anthea August 8, 2022 at 11:50 pm #

      @ Sean Coleman:

      Yes, I remember hearing about the financial collapse in September or August of 2019. I can’t remember what it was about, but it was a major banking crisis at the international level. Some have speculated that the covid lockdowns and other measure were partially intended to defuse this problem through demand destruction. The covid hysteria and the various measures imposed served many purposes.

      One reason that I quickly decided it was all bullshit by the end of March, 2020, was because it was very obvious that, in my area at least, no one was even sick, and the only people who died were the very elderly or ill, who were dying pretty much at the expected rate. Throughout 2020-21, a few relatives, in-laws, and acquaintances got covid–or what was claimed to be covid, based on the bogus testing. This was over about an 18-month period of time, and the only one was particularly ill was a daughter with Lyme Disease. She was never hospitalized, by just had a lengthy recovery.

      I used to point out to people on Facebook who were all in a dither that the flu season of two years prior was MUCH more severe: Whole families were down sick together–everyone I knew was sick–and there was talk of closing the schools because half the kids were out sick. The 2020-21 flu season was very mild by comparison. Most people I know were never sick at all; those who were had a mild cold. Yawn.

      • Sean Coleman August 9, 2022 at 11:35 am #

        I came to it from a different angle from most. It was obvious very early on that it was being co-ordinated across the world. The supermarkets here were ready immediately with dramatci recordings about safety and them looking after us. World leaders were all talking about the ‘new normal’. I am the only person in my organization who has never worked a day from home. I think they kept the building open to let me in because it suited everyone having someone on site. Walking to work i saw them digging up the streets in Killarney and heard they did the same elsewhere. Good timing.

        But this was not the main issue for me at the time because I was used to seeing everything as the madness of crowds. Biooker and North’s book Scared To Death seemed to take a similar approach and it was from this that I had already learnt that all of these health scares without exception were nonsense. Remember asbestos? This was based on a semantic confusion between two very different substances with a shared name through a quirk of the English language. Common asbestos is harmless but I think most still do not realize. A large industry was built on removing it from buidlings and America witnessed some insane payouts. (In one case I think someone got huge compensation for simply having been in a room where there had once been asbestos. Somehting like that. Or perhaps it was someone who had been coughed on or who had once glimpsed Jimmy Savile at the other end of the street.)

        So I knew (and said here – Jarek will remember) that there as nothing there. I told all my staff too but they told me it was all right for me but they believed it. At the very start my wife got very upset when she asked me if I would believe something even if the rest of the world did not and I said ‘yes’. (Wrong move.) As in all of these things everyting, literally, you looked into about the virus story turned out to be completely false, starting with what Colin Flaherty used to call “The Numbas”.

        My wife read out a local newspaper article about a young man who had caught ‘Covid’ and metnioned that he had had pneumonia before and suffered a collapsed lung. Yet he appeared on national tv a couple of weeks later an not a mention of this relevant fact. Later it turned out that the office cleaner’s daughter worked as a nurse in Tralee Hosptal and said there was nothing wrong with the man. He spent all day contacting the media about his story. The day he left he asked for a wheelchair and he was told to walk.

        • Sean Coleman August 9, 2022 at 11:39 am #

          I should have added that bad as all that was it is much worse because there is a real conspiracy. I used to think it would be wholly imaginary and looked at all-deaths statistics for 2020 to confirm it. Simple re-labelling of flu. Lost in dodgy statistics just like in global warming. But that has all changed now.

        • Jarek August 10, 2022 at 12:37 pm #

          They used to use asbestos in envelopes and even clothes. I worked in a bookstore, opening up such envelopes. I developed a sensitivity and my hands would hurt immediately upon contract.

          To people without such sensitivities it’s all imagination, if and until they do develop them. The dog barks. The caravan passes.

          @ Redneck Liberal:

          Certainly, that is the hope, among the left. My impression is that support for “abortion rights” has greatly eroded over the past two decades. The MSM representation that there is broad support is, IMHO, false. There are probably many reasons for this–one of them being the great advances in birth-control methods since Roe vs. Wade. Another possible reason is that there are probably many, many women who deeply regret having an abortion, and whose families mourn the loss of a grandchild, niece or nephew. Some of these women who had an abortion in their teens or twenties will never marry and have children. It is doubtless painful to reflect that they DID have a child.

          Women want children. They are hard-wired that way. This desire is not easily short-circuited by MSM propanda. Women were bound to wake up and realized they’d been hoodwinked.

    Trump went “all in” on the Covid hoax. Declaration of health emergency, Operation Warp Speed, jawboning the vaccines, e.g., “beautiful vaccine,” calling himself “father of the vaccine.” The promotion of these “vaccines” was an instance of “talking past the sale.” A health emergency was never demonstrated, particularly in terms of statistics. Fear was used to promote the vaccine. Fear is the best persuader. Fear mongering is always used to persuade people to give up their rights. “Vaccines” did not go through the required trials. A rationale was put forth, that, since there is a pandemic, use of experimental drugs is justified. And so on and so forth..

    • Beryl of Oyl August 8, 2022 at 11:58 am #

      We need these presumed emergency powers wiped out, killed dead, forbidden by law, punishable by firing squad for even attempting them.

      This should be central to every Republican’s campaign, but I have heard of one or two speaking against lockdowns, but none against these declarations that allegedly supersede the Bill of Rights.

      Mitch McConnell even maneuvered a woman onto the Supreme Court who believes emergencies justify nullification of the Constitution, so that shows you where he stands.

      Word is tricking out, however. These “emergencies” have been the cover for all kinds of atrocities, and I am seeing some people waking up to just what happened.

    • dorn August 8, 2022 at 12:37 pm #

      Indeed, the emergency powers need to go. I have doubted the constitutionality of emergency powers, even though such laws have bee enacted and judges have upheld them as constitutional. It seems to me that under the original concept of sovereign states, the individual states would need to agree or could nullify such a federal declaration. Of course, the viability of the sovereign state was decided by that railroad attorney in the 1800s.

        Trump has however spoken out about mandates, attacked WEF in the lion’s den, and invested in projects that empower sovereignty.

        When I look at the people I know, out of about 25 or so people in my phone book, there are exactly two that I would trust fully to fight against this tyranny to the end — in all of its forms.

        Humans are flawed, there are shades of grey; most important are an individual’s actions on the whole. On the most important issues, Trump was still solid.

    • MaryQueen August 8, 2022 at 2:49 pm #

      But but but that wasn’t his fault.

        He apparently understood less about the requirements (particularly temporal) for developing a vaccine, than everyone in this thread understands about the requirements for developing a vaccine.

        Too big a blind spot for someone pretending to preside over the government of this (or any other) country.

        But what’s done is done. I think the most relevant question regarding Trump now, is: “Does he have a role in the future of the politics of this country?” Obviously, I think the answer is “no”. Others (and I sympathize with them, hoping for change…) feel he can lead us to victory if only he gets a second chance. Catching the same fish with the same lure you just plied out of its throat. Them fish is called bullheads.

          Blackbird, I see no evidence that Trump has learnt a damn thing from his travails in the WH. I have no faith that in a second term, he would do anything differently. Lots of mean tweets, top jobs for deep staters, and little action.

    I wonder how many current events are actually planned and how many are just consequences of inaction by feckless meat-sacks?

    Does anyone really believe the cdc spokesperson, pelosi, birx, buttigeg, biden, w.h.o., anyone in congress or politics?

    These unneeded people are all horrible and show-boat their malfeasance without shame.

    I don’t see how they could coordinate or plan anything, and there doesn’t seem to be anyone able to organize these fools.

      It’s all hidden in plain sight. They are all in bed with each other at Davos, and their agenda is organized to the extreme, where the sign language of one is heard by their deaf cohorts.

      Xi and the likes of Biden (both his cohorts domestically and internationally) are like a couple of drunks that are using each other as a crutch. They both are onboard with a One World Government, and up to this point have felt that their entanglement is mutually beneficial.

      To make sense of the nonsense, you need to look at it from the perspective that the actions of Biden and his cohorts are structured to destroy their respective countries existing format for life. This is the backroom deal they have made with Xi, and in exchange, they are counting on Xi’s support to deal with the “Uyghurs” in their respective countries.

      The masses are not supposed to understand the meaning of the Inflation Reduction Act and an expansion of the IRS, the conduct of Soros funded DA’s and the raid on Mar-a-Lago, the hypocrisy of Eric Adams, the blatant in your face disregard for the rule of law, the illogical management of covid, why and how it came to be that our children are being taught CRT. Actions like these are designed so that we just get lost in the noise.

    There’s a certain level, above which, the laws do not apply. There’s a certain level, below which, the laws do not apply. The laws are only for “us”, the segment of society in between – enforced against us, to maintain control.

      Really? CW version 2? Civil wars can be much worse than “regular” wars because there’s the family fight aspect going on in it. Family fights are the worst fights to be involved in, emotions run high, people feel betrayed, and people don’t forget about them easily. Let’s hope that the United States instead of civil war experiences an easy breakup such as what happened to the old Soviet Union. One morning, people woke up, drank some coffee, and realized it was finally over with and the elites in the Russian communist party understood they had no credibility left and that the experiment in communism had failed. It was pointless for them to continue any longer because everyone saw their commie “emperor” was butt naked.

      If such an event happens in the USA, individual state governments will be given the task to manage things as best they can within their own state lines. Such a general collapse in confidence could probably only happen after a general failure of the US dollar and the nation being shut off from access to imported goods. Instead of wokery going on, there will be a mad scramble to figure out ways to make our own shoes here, otherwise we’ll all be woke, broke, and barefooted. Or walking around with rags wrapped around our feet instead of our former China shoes and boots.

      MAN TRACKS DOWN THE DR THAT GAVE ONE OF HIS FAMILY MEMBERS THE COVIDSHOT & THEY DIED AFTER TAKING IT

      www(dot)bitchute(dot)com/video/784YCSXONLfg/

      The man attacks a vehicle with two boomerangs (the first breaks). How Australian is that?

      I believe that these angry incidents will become more and more common. We are tribal primates. Like teenagers kicking a cop car then leaping onto the hood of the cop car then smashing the windshield of the cop car, it escalates in steps as each young man pushes the envelope just a little further.

      These past 2+ years can be viewed as mankind’s biggest ever Sociology experiment.

      • GreenAlba August 8, 2022 at 12:54 pm #

        The coming angry incidents are one of the reasons why they need to get us digitally ID’d and monitored everywhere we go, so that we can’t come out of our homes without their permission in the form of a green tick. It’s almost here.

        There was an article recently about Chinese people from Xin-Jiang whose bank accounts had been closed and they were prevented from travelling to the banks to protest by means of their Covid Apps.

        • Bob Polecat August 8, 2022 at 1:59 pm #

        • Ron Anselmo August 8, 2022 at 2:50 pm #

          Exactly GA – TPTB in China are too few to control the number of the Chinese population. Just as TPTB in the US are too few to control number of the US population.

          The answer is the population policing themselves (i.e., the mask mob here in the US).

          The Chinese Covid App has red & green indicators. Disobey, and your App magically switches to red (supposedly indicating COVID).

          Now, the grocery store manager, the bank manager, the retail manager – anybody checking your App for admittance – becomes the mechanism for controlling the population, i.e., policing themselves.

          • GreenAlba August 8, 2022 at 3:27 pm #

            Not just in China, Ron. In France, at the height of the previous practice run for tyranny, getting a green tick (to get into shopping malls or cafes) required a booster every 4 months. I have English friends there – they have never mentioned this as in any way abnormal.

            Then they cancelled it. Then they tried to bring it back. Then the National Assembly voted against it.

            Now they’ve accepted digital tyranny as a condition of a cost-of-living financial package. Biometric DNA health card with bells and whistles: facial recognition & fingerprints, info. to be shared with government agencies, insurers & police. What’s not to like?

        • Paula D August 9, 2022 at 9:25 pm #

          Yes, it is mind blowing that she so casually tells the father the reason they didn’t give the mother information is because then she might not have poisoned their child.

          To be fair, there is precedent. The CDC said that they were not releasing stats on injuries in the under 45 crowd for that same reason “It fuels vaccine hesitancy”.

          And wasn’t Scotland the only country releasing the stats? Until they stopped, giving that same reason?

          • GreenAlba August 10, 2022 at 6:00 am #

            I don’t know about Scotland and the under-45 stats specifically, Paula. I know that they stopped publishing the death stats by vaxx status altogether after they showed that 87% of covid deaths were in the fully vaxxed in the 4 weeks up to 4 Feb., claiming that anti-vaxxers would misinterpret the figures out of context! In England, of course, they quietly published stats, on the day Boris Johnson resigned, showing the figure was 94% for April/May and it has been 90% for the last 12-months overall.

            I would like to see something happen to Nicola Sturgeon before I die. I think that, politically, she may be nearly done, but not because of covid. It is becoming more obvious to more people that under her reign (and that’s what it is with aspiring Queen Nicola – apparently nothing happens that doesn’t come from her desk) everything has been ruined – health service, education, economy. All while she has been neglecting the running of the country to pursue her obsession with Independence. As if ‘independence’ meant a single thing in 2022 anyway.

            I read recently that Nippy (as she is commonly known – she’s a real piece of work generally) has been talking with Hilary Clinton and some other member of the cabal, so who knows where she hopes to go next, once the Scottish people tell her to eff off (please make it soon).

          • GreenAlba August 10, 2022 at 6:10 am #

            Also the 94% figure is even more significant because they have been lying about the number of people ‘vaccinated’. The figure of 8% unvaxxed has been bandied about, but the BBC recently put out a propaganda programme called ‘Unvaccinated’ which put a bunch of unvaxxed people in a house, Big Brother style, with a ‘doctor’, Hannah Fry, purportedly help the average punter understand why these obvious weirdos wouldn’t get vaxxed (why did no-one ever do this for flu?). UKC News did a deep dive, as they always do, into who Hannah Fry actually is and which organisations she’s linked to, but I digress …

            The blurb for the programme claimed that only 4 million were unvaxxed – the point being to try to make them look like a small lunatic fringe. Professor Norman Fenton (mathematician) has pointed out that the actual number of totally unvaxxed (adults, I think) – using the government’s own statistics – is actually 18.9 million, which is a much more impressive number out of a total population of 65 million (not sure what the adult population is but it would make the percentage even more impressive)..

          • Paula D August 10, 2022 at 2:16 pm #

            Thanks Green Alba.
            I only remembered that they quit giving stats and that they said it was so that the vaccine hesitant couldn’t use statistics and data to bolster their stance.
            Because……”Science”.

            As for the vaccinated becoming ”unvaccinated” when a new one is decreed, that must be part of the Great Reset.
            Your vax status becomes reset when your owners tell you it’s time for another.

      What’s worse, this shit’s been going on since about 1955. There have been countless vaccine injuries and deaths from vaccines, mostly hushed up and attributed to some other cause. The increase in the autism rate is staggering. Vaccines are also suspected to result in allergies.

      I never encountered anyone who was allergic to anything until I was about 25. (I didn’t believe them. Being allergic to peanuts did not strike me as plausible.)

    I heard the CBS documentary about the weapons being sent to Ukraine not reaching their intended destinations is catching a lot of flak.

    I would venture that such weapons, when they even exist, are reaching the people they were meant to go to.

    I have been talking about how someone as highly visible as Zelensky being some sort of corrupt crime boss without anyone noticing seemed pretty amazing to me.

    Now I have learned that there is a biography in the works detailing the corruption, and I’ve also been reminded that there was a documentary released in 2021, which means that when our Congress was voting to send money over there they had this information at their fingertips but they pretended not to know it.

    These people are nothing but deviants. The same sex lifestyle merely encourages this fact. How are people like this even allowed to adopt children, when there are same-sex couples desperate and waiting years for adoption approval? This shouldn’t even be allowed, a same-sex household is not a safe or appropriate place to even raise a child.

    Article summary:

    A same-sex couple in Georgia were arrested last month and charged with using their two adopted children to record and manufacture child pornography, authorities said.

    The couple, William Zulock, 32, and Zachary Zulock, 35, were taken into custody after the Walton County Sheriff’s Office conducted a raid on a Loganville, Georgia, residence following reports of an individual downloading child pornography, according to a report.

    Authorities discovered two young boys at the home were being sexually exploited and recorded for the production of child pornography.

    The boys’ adoptive fathers “were engaging in sexually abusive acts and video documenting this abuse,” authorities said.

    The adoptive fathers are facing charges of aggravated child molestation, enticing a child for indecent purposes, and sexual exploitation of a child.

      It seems to me the mother placing her baby, if she wanted it to go to men, would have options to do so through other means.

      I wondered, if “man”, “woman”, and “married” are too many discriminatory requirements, how about “couple”?

      If two random men wanted to adopt a child jointly, would that be okay? I think most people would say no.

      So why does being gay make it kosher?

    I can’t see Trump as primary target of this diabolical program. That’s plausible only in the context of an in-your-face, subversive and unaccountable Party of Chaos versus a defiled-by-putative-enemies and their pre- and post-election recriminations against a banished, ‘still-truckin,’ indomitable and largely imaginary White Knight. What a masterfully presented Hegelian dialectic! Bumbling “Joe Biden” and his coterie as detestable thesis; “Defrauded Donald” as patriotic antithesis, chafing in the lists to redeem his kingdom from the castle knaves. And the MSM and alternate media sustaining this increasingly polarizing image from their respective amen corners. What’s to be the synthesis, folks? Wasn’t it Trump who gave us “Operation Warp Speed”? Is he not the same red-head who abrogated executive control of this inhuman international scam in the U.S. to Tony Fauci ? Useful idiot, maybe. Complicit, perhaps! But “target”??? No! The primary target has always been thee!

    I’d like to comment upon Jim’s mention of all-cause mortality.

    I’ve been keeping tabs on all-cause deaths in England & Wales since the start of the ‘pandemic’ (data publicly available from the ONS) to verify how bad it was (spoiler: not at all for most age groups) and it’s not just under-65s that are showing an unusual increase. There is an increase showing in every age group except for the under-14s, which gets commensurably worse with increase in age. 15-44s seem barely affected too, just as they were barely affected during the ‘pandemic’.

    Traditionally, deaths peak at the start of January and drop to their lowest levels around late summer, which is about where we are now. For the over 85s, that summer level is usually around 3,500 per week yet it’s sitting at 4,000 per week and rising. For 75-84s the level usually sits around 2,500 per week yet it’s sitting at 3,000 per week and rising. A similar pattern is seen for 65-74s and 45-64s to a slightly lesser but notable affect.

    I still haven’t made my mind up whether the vaccine rollout was malicious but what stupefies me is that virtually everybody thinks they ‘saved the day’ despite all evidence to the contrary. FOUR ‘vaccines’ inside twelve months that have done statistically nothing and here we are with an unusual increase on the five-year average? What is it going to take to wake people up?

    • Rhett Dawson August 8, 2022 at 1:11 pm #

      • Slugoon August 8, 2022 at 3:17 pm #

        I’m quite comfortable being in the ‘middle of the pack’ Jar. Being on the fringes can lead to its own shortcomings, perhaps?

        I’ve spoken to many rational and rather lovely people who are jabbed and boosted and from most I get the impression that they just go along to get along. They don’t necessarily think the ‘vaccines’ have done much good but by the same token they don’t think they’ve done much harm, and they trust the medical professionals.

        Which brings me to the conspiracy idea. I’ve no doubt that the likes of Schwab, and Gates, and the CEOs of large pharmaceutical companies, and the government bureaucrats that shill for them have grand designs but between them and the hoi polloi sits a million shades of grey. I have trouble thinking where in said hierarchy the line is drawn between evil-doers and the plain ignorant.

        Almost everyone, medical professionals included, has gone along with what’s happened these past years. It’s a mystery to me how the mania came to take over the most rational of brains, yet I don’t think the majority of those people acted with malicious intent. I remain amazed.

        • Jarek August 8, 2022 at 3:27 pm #

          Yeah, let’s not be radical or get to the heart of anything. Let’s be Lukewarm, deserving to be spat out. Or as Americans say, Nice.

          From Oxford Languages

          nice
          /n?s/

          Origin

          Middle English (in the sense ‘stupid’): from Old French, from Latin nescius ‘ignorant’, from nescire ‘not know’. Other early senses included ‘coy, reserved’, giving rise to ‘fastidious, scrupulous’: this led both to the sense ‘fine, subtle’ (regarded by some as the ‘correct’ sense), and to the main current senses.

          The early meaning is the best. Nice people are stupid in terms of the current American meaning.

          And what a meditation on language! The word changed completely in the later centuries to mean the opposite. Now it’s come full circle.

          • Slugoon August 8, 2022 at 3:35 pm #

            I do recall reading that the modern definition of ‘nice’ is now opposite to what it was originally.

            I suppose I think that shouting from the sidelines doesn’t always get you anywhere, even if you do have a clearer view of the field.

    I’d also like to comment on EVs. I’ve said this here before but the purpose of them is nothing to do with ‘the environment’. How can it be? (The same glass, steel, plastic and fabric, whose embodied energy represents the vast majority of the car’s lifetime carbon footprint. Furthermore, we’re being encouraged to scrap perfectly good IC cars that would run for many more years with little investment, and ergo less energy, than replacing it for something that is basically the same but has a battery in it with its own environmental problems.)

    The purpose is to get people to drive less, whether due to limitations on range or a deliberate plan to control the days of the week in which your home charger will work etc.

    Again, this is all lost on the general public who feel so virtuous driving around with their little green stripe on the registration plate.

      Smog is an example of EVs being preferable to ICs (ceteris paribus).

      The rubber really meets the road, however, when one combines an EV future with global depop. The elephant in the room is that reducing the world population to 500,000,000 truly is very green.

      • Islander August 8, 2022 at 1:23 pm #

        Yeah, the pollution and other env. degredation occurs in far-away lands where lithium and other EV precursor materials are mined and refined.

          Indeed. How American is that, right?

          Plus, luxury EVs for the few top-echelon thousands is WAY greener than ICs for multitudes of useless eating billions. It’s not even close.

    • GreenAlba August 8, 2022 at 1:30 pm #

      That includes my Covidian brother (it’s always the same people). They bought a Mini-Cooper, which is either an EV or a hybrid, and proudly said it was their ‘contribution’. He’s got a fat public-sector pension, which helps. Been a lecturer all his life – out mother used to say he’d never left school.

      I used to be a member of our City Car Club (now run by Enterprise). One time I left something in the car and phoned them (somewhere in England) and the woman told me to go back to the car, which was in our street, and she opened the door for me from England. And that’s been the case for years, so the new vehicles will just stop when ‘they’ want them to stop. And if you’re limited to 10 miles from your house, your credit card won’t work more than 10 miles from your house.

      Add to that that the UK is planning to be the world’s first drone superhighway or something and how comfortable do you feel?

          There’s something similar in NYC, I know a woman who was considering getting a share in a car so she could shop in some of the stores outside the city.

          I imagine they’s have had some kind of restrictions on how far you could go with it too.

          I worry about driving along the highway and having the police decide to turn off the vehicle right in front of me.

        • GreenAlba August 8, 2022 at 1:52 pm #

          I didn’t say that. I said the Car Club cars have had the technology to open the door for you for years. You have a smart card which you swipe, when then allows you to open the door in the normal way, but when you swipe the card at the end of your hire, you can’t then get in it again if you haven’t booked the car online or by phone.

          What I meant was that, by extension, they will be able to add technology (if they haven’t already) that will do similar things with private cars.

        On the topic of remote control, I can unlock my car from my phone (yes, the Nokia has gone to the silicon scrapheap in the sky) but I guess it works via the SIM card in the boot. I’m supposing I could pull that to stop Großer Bruder from spying on me although maybe it would kill the car too.

    I am ashamed to admit that at the outset of the plandemic I purchased the Fauci bobblehead from the National Bobblehead Museum. It shows his hand in mid-air, indicating that we all need to stay locked down for three weeks in order to “flatten the curve”. It has been sitting in the box in the back of my closet ever since. In retrospect though, this might have been a wise investment, since I can hit him and speak mean to him as much as I want. I can throw it across the room and maybe even one day I will light a fuse under this little bobblehead ass.

    Trump was suckered by the Covid story. Like most people he was mesmerized by white coats and stethoscopes and confronted with a medical topic about which he knew nothing, he deferred to the “doctors” from whom he expected honesty, altruism, and actual expertise.

    When they told him that it took years to develop and test a vaccine, he thought the timelines were just government and bureaucratic bullshit and no different than delays in obtaining a construction permit. When he issued a directive to get a vaccine out before the end of the year, no matter what, the Big Pharma execs thought they had died and gone to heaven. Could they get a product out if they could bypass animal trials, human trials, and the normal observation periods necessary to assess safety and effectiveness? Yessir, Mr. President, we can do that!

    So they rushed a product out with inadequate testing, armed with immunity from lawsuits and with guarantees of government purchases, and made billions.

    OR

    This was a bio-weapon meant to depopulate the planet. In either case, Trump unwittingly facilitated its early deployment.

    He was proud of himself for cutting through what he considered to be regulatory bullshit.

    Cognitive dissonance it a powerful thing, and it appears to date he has been unable to acknowledge that he made a yuge mistake. He would boost his credibility enormously if he could just admit he fell for a con. Or he could at least come out hard against forced vaccinations and suggest ongoing surveillance to follow side effects.

    All bureaucracies become corrupt, including and especially things as big as the NIH. The only solution is to prosecute the leaders, fire the hordes of useless and corrupt employees, and start over. Starting with a budget base of zero.

    Unfortunately, it appears that every other federal institution is similarly corrupted, including the DOJ.

    I would like to be as optimistic as JHK, but I have a hard time getting there. I hope he’s right.

      He kept stressing that it was from “China.” He touted HCQ. He refused to wear a mask. He was treated by Dr Zelenko.

        He told us masks were patriotic and he allowed Ivanka to force them on workers in the West Wing.

        He played along with the idiocy because once he developed the vaccine in record time, all would be fine and he could build the economy back up again.

    Are we supposed to believe that this actually happened? What is going on with these lightning strikes these days? Remember last week the couple that died in Washington, D.C. as a result of a lightning strike, which just so happened to occur right across the street from the White House?

In their eyes, We the People don’t even deserve the slight-of-hand and false front of a responsible social contract government dressed up in pretty packages of ‘patriotic’ perfumes and catchy sound bites fully stuffed with the heavy cream of abject lies and deception. The full bloom of Their pathology leaves a heavy stench-like perfume hanging over the drought-stricken Nation from sea-to-shining-sea.

    “The Party of Chaos is otherwise basking in the glow of victory from Senate passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, an all-out assault on the American public…”

    Yes, indeed. Some creative writing major got the job from Our Esteemed Representatives to name these bills with a name that is the exact opposite of what the bill actually intends. You know, like ‘Patriot’ Act. Nothing patriotic about ripping the rights and privacy of Americans to shreds and bits. Want to know what’s in a bill? See how its titled and then know that the bill intends to do exactly the opposite.

    And now, the ‘Inflation Reduction Act!’ to throw more fuel on the raging fire of runaway inflation and out-of-control money conjuring from The unHoly Private Banking Cartel that keeps its hands with a forceful choke hold around the throats of all Americans.

    Yes, the Sickening Quickening. The lies are thickening. The skies are darkening. The thin veil of social cohesion is weakening. And this massive social experiment of trying to maintain a large and complex World society forever on a bed of falsehoods and money-with-no-value lives on for another day.

    But what comes after Sickening? Healing. Restoration. A return to health and vitality and equilibrium. That lies just ahead for We Who Refuse To Stay Sick.

    And let’s be Quick about that.

    Thanks, Mr K!

    here’s an idea that will never reify:

    Use that $87B for the IRS to pay any and all tax balances due among the 90%

    brilliant

    won’t have to hire anybody new and won’t have waste time and resources trying to claw back what they think we owe them (and I truly do mean “we” and “them”)

      What a novel idea. Let the people keep their money so they can actually spend it in the economy, thereby boosting productivity and the GDP!

      Last time I checked this is how a healthy economy is supposed to work, not with an unlimited tax and spend mentality by the government.

    I keeping with “The Sickening Quickening” please enjoy the song “Get Down with the Sickness” by the band Disturbed. You can find lyrics and video online if you so desire.

    The basic gist is as follows:

    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    Open up your hate and let it flow into me

    Get up, come on get down with the sickness
    You mother get up, come on get down with the sickness
    You fucker get up, come on get down with the sickness
    Madness is the gift that has been given to me

    I can see inside you
    The sickness is rising
    Don’t try to deny what you feel
    (Will you give in to me?)
    It seems that all that was good has died
    And is decaying in me
    (Will you give in to me?)

    Honestly, this is what I don’t get about this crew: you know what’s happening, but rather than seizing the moment, many would rather waste their time and energy complaining, or even more revealing, cracking sarcastic remarks.

    To wit, we know the debt based system is based on growth. After all, how is accrued interest to be paid? By further expansion of the money supply driven by increased financialized production/consumption. QED

    So, we know the end of FF abundance means less consumption, therefore less production, resulting in decreased demand for overall credit. This situation of course is the death knell for our present monetary system, so what is the only viable solution from a continuity of government (CoG) POV?

    Keynes had the answer: the government itself acts as a collective consumer, stepping in as a substitute for individuals and businesses. But as the fixed limits of actual input availability are reached, the only effect is inflation.

    We *know* this; Elite thinkers of course know this. So, why the snark about the most recent spending bills flying through Congress? They/we don’t have any choice – it’s either spend (expand) or die.

    So, why are people trying to demonstrate their superior intellect by mocking the names and pointing out the obvious? Think they should name them MMT 1, 2 and so on, ad infinitum? Just come clean with the los estupidos aka marks aka American citizens? Where the fun in that?

    Really now, how about watching the action unfold, and then give yourself an attaboy for correctly assessing the situation and positioning yourself to benefit as it all unfolds according to plan?

    Let’s take a moment and talk about nuclear energy a bit, shall we?

    First, I’ll lay it on the line: I guarantee nuclear power (ie generated electricity) will enjoy not only a renaissance, but actually experience a manic period of rushed development and infrastructure build out.

    Why? Simple, cheap, reliable electricity is the best solution that allows the continued roll out of a comprehensive digital pass system.

    Nuke power not only keeps the lights on, the AC blowing, heat running, fresh water pumped in and yucky pooh water pumped out, but it also allows for economical hydrogen and other source element fracking.

    Why is this important? Nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous my friends. In other words, fertilizer, or more simply, food.

    So, add it up: people still eat, they live comfortably in their pods, they take mass or shared EV transit, they’ve got VR and drugs to get them through the day, and … the existing power structure remains in place.

    • Slugoon August 8, 2022 at 3:29 pm #

      I remember being around 20 years old when I had the thought that electrification would be the future, since it could be generated in so many different ways (being a carrier of energy and not a source). Of course, things like planes ain’t gonna fly as they do now but, yes, your last paragraph.

      The reason I hate EVs so much is that I’m a contrarian. If they explained what they were trying to achieve with them rather than dupe everyone into believing that they are in themselves ‘good for the environment’ I might get on board.

      • mitchellc August 8, 2022 at 5:15 pm #

        The first rule of rulership club is that you don’t talk about it.

        Selling green dreams is preferable to a frank admission of scarcity, because it can be positioned as a virtuous, (global) community effort rather than a grim fight for survival.

        My constant theme here is that the elite plainly telegraph every move. They don’t mind, because while most are too stupid to understand the implications, the few who do get it reliably act in a contrarian manner.

        I mean, if Jim didn’t honestly feel the way he does, this site would be the perfect proving ground for that basic psychological principle. I can almost imagine a proverbial $1 bet over proving expected reactions.

    • Anthea August 11, 2022 at 5:40 am #

      @ mitchellc:

      Yes, nuclear energy is rather obviously the best and only way to sustain modern technological civilization. It’s my understanding that nuclear waste can be recycled through the reactors so that it then remains unsafe (and requiring sequestration) for only about a hundred years before it becomes harmless. Also, apparently thorium reactors do not produce much, if any, nuclear waste to begin with. But I have read that the recycling of nuclear wastes was made illegal (I think by Jimmy Carter), and no one is interested in thorium reactors because they don’t produce byproducts that are useful for making nuclear weapons.

      Safe nuclear power generation is possible, but has been either outlawed or not pursued.

      Sure, it would make sense to develop nuclear energy in a big way–and thus keep the lights on.

      Thing is, I see little indication that the PTB want to keep the lights on. In fact, they seem determined to turn out the lights on Western Civilization by making cheap, reliable energy in any form inaccessible to the masses. So I have my doubts about nuclear being the wave of the future. (Except maybe in China.)

      It’s also not clear to me that the PTB are particularly rational or sensible in their planning. But this is difficult to evaluate, since I don’t know their goals. Depriving the world’s people of energy makes sense if your objective is to kill almost everybody.

    I am sort of amazed at the lack of logic being used by people who comment here in defense of Trump.

    If he was too weak or compromised to beat back the meanies, and he was powerless to fire Fauxi and his hands were tied so that he couldn’t hire RFK, Jr. instead, or listen to Dr. Atlas, and if he was forced to push Operation Warp Speed, and he is powerless to help the J6 people (and in fact condemned them) what do you think he could do by being put back in office?

    This makes zero sense to me.

      “I am sort of amazed at the lack of logic being used by people who comment here in defense of Trump… This makes zero sense to me.”

      ‘Belief’ in Trump is a form of religion. A large segment of the population today needs to believe in ‘something’. That something has to be appear to be in opposition to the current power-sitters. There are not a lot (or any) of Nationally-known alternatives to the Dark Siders who are currently in control of this rendering of government. Trump pretty much solely serves that purpose and thus a cult of belief has been erected around him.

      And it must be observed that the current blind allegiance by many to the current White House Chair Sitter and the Party that he represents is another form of modern-day religion.

      Both Trump and ‘The Resident’ are savior figures to their base of believers. They both present gospels of salvation to save us all from the evil doers of the ‘Other Side’ who represent The Devil. Saving the climate… saving us from racism… saving the economy… saving The Children… save after save after save. Messiahs from ages gone by were never as busy as the saviors of today proclaim to be.

      And what is the point about Belief? ‘Believing’ in things that are not yet seen. In other words, real results. The Believers just have faith and don’t need proof or evidence.

      • Islander August 8, 2022 at 3:59 pm #

        Re “‘Belief’ in Trump is a form of religion. A large segment of the population today needs to believe in ‘something’. ”

        the converse, or the inverse, is also true. Trump has achieved the interesting distinction of functioning as both a modern saint and martyr and as evil incarnate. Even though his “presence” in our national politics seems to be somewhat ghostly.

        The satan case is demonstrated by the continued practice of people cubbyholing anythinging negative in the Trump box.

        E.g., yesterday my bro helped me maneuver my AC unit into my window, on the third floor, over a busy sidewalk. I said, “I used to be able to do this by myself, but now I worry about dropping it on the sidewalk.” His retort: “You might get lucky and hit a Trumper.”

        This type of comment issues from his and his wife’s mouth on a regular basis. Guy cuts in on Route 1 north of Boston: “Probably a Trumper.” I ask about their neighbor across the street from their new down-sizing retirement house in Maine, who has an extensive, quirky garden. “He is OK, but a bit strange. He might be a Trumper.” Etc. I say nothing.

        They are not sure where I stand on Trump, but they suspect that I am not firmly of the “Trump = satan” camp, so these comments are also intended as ongoing digs at one whom they suspect of being a Trumper.

          For a long time… politicians were just that. Politicians. People dealt with them when they had to and largely never thought about them and just went about their lives. People did not obsess over politicians and Parties or turn them into gods and devils as is the Civil Religion in America today.

          But then… Life became more complicated. Uglier. More contentious. Things started to go wrong. Traditional religions became weak and disgraced and ignorable so they no longer spoke to the spiritual needs of people.

          Good jobs were sent away. Social norms were shattered. People saw their bosses and the owner-class getting much richer while they were getting poorer. And people needed someone and something to blame for that. Enter… politicians. That’s when we turned them into the gods and devils and bigger-than-life figures they are today instead of the political hacks for hire that they always were. And still are.

          And Talk Radio and Partisan Cable News came along to feed the fire. 24/7 every day all day of, ‘We are Right and They are Wrong and Awful’. Without end. Same thing every day. Year after year.

          What’s the end game to all this? When people discover good purpose again in Life and quit looking at dullard hacks for hire and turning them into gods and devils. Go back to what they were before: Mostly out of our sight and eminently ignorable.

            There was a mass awakening that the Left was at war with us – and that the Democrats had gradually but firmly become the Left en masse. More: Not only was there a War on, but that had it been going on for a long time – and that we were losing badly.

            Or forbears? The John Birch society. They have been proven to have been right about everything. Of course their leader was a traitor and they refuse to talk about race. But other than that…..

            Jarek: “There was a mass awakening that the Left was at war with us – and that the Democrats had gradually but firmly become the Left en masse.”

            The thing about ‘Awakening’ is that becoming better aware and awake is a process and not a destination. One never gets to an end point.

            BUT… one at least has to be on the Awakening Road itself. Trying to become awake. Taking big steps or small. And political parties and political hacks and those who have adopted politics as their religion are on the totally wrong road. A road of taking orders and following them… deifying badly flawed human beings and turning them into wise oracles. In other words, anything but awakening.

            One major Party in America has historically allowed for more personal freedom from government – at least in theory. But both Parties are just overgrown cults that discourage original thinking and largely demand total obedience and submission to their gospels of self-promotion and office for hire.

            In many societies over the years it was assumed that their Leader was semi-divine. (To doubt this idea was to invite terrible consequences). In America we have now joined those more primitive societies. It just took us a little longer to join that cult of delusion.

          Beliefs and logic and Believers and non-believers and orthodox and heretics – oh my!

          Centuries ago when a European person was facing death or the possibility of death due to injury or illness, a priest or minister was primary in their thoughts as to getting help. Then after praying and talking to God, you’d consult with a physician next.
          The Christian god trumped the power of the “Science” god back in say the Middle Ages.

          Today our belief in “modern medicine” is stuck in our minds like our old religious beliefs once were, and for some of the same reasons. We transferred our faith in God to faith in doctors. Doctors are the priests of this new religion, and just like the Catholics, they have consecrated magic cookies (pills) to give you. These sacred hosts have the seal of authority stamped on them by a company with usually a German name.

          These new medical priests want the same as the old priests, and that’s at least 10 percent of your income. if you scoff at our “health care” system and refuse to use it for any other purpose aside from trauma, nearly everyone will question your mental health. You will be a medical heretic and instead of your soul being in mortal danger they’ll regard your body as being in danger. They’ll tell you that you’ve become a science heretic and will gossip about you behind your back.

          With this sort of widespread popular opinion about “modern medicine” – Trump would have stirred up the shitstorm of the century had he gone head to head with the medical establishment.

However, sometimes there are certain conditions that require regular modern medical intervention and there is simply no way around it if you want to feel better, unfortunately.

            Hey there RL. Sucking on willow bark is too old fashioned for me. There’s a health food/herb store near me that has the essence of willow bark for sale in a big jar. There’s a scale back there and I weigh out for myself of whatever herbal product I want. That’s much easier than shopping for bark.

            There’s a practical aspect to naturopathic medicine that is being ignored everywhere. But it’s something that clusterfucker fans may understand.

            Our “health care” system consumes some 20% of our economy, counting all aspects of the activity like the manufacturing of complex medical equipment. In past decades, we’ve had the surplus resources and capital to be able to afford paying twice to the medical priesthood that we once paid in tithes to the Christian priesthood. I think after Humpty Dumpty Dollar falls off the wall, the USA simply will not be able to afford our current health care system. We’ll be collectively too broke to afford sending physical resources into our hospital/medical system. Just as we’ll be too broke to afford supporting our current public education infrastructure. These buildings/temples will be scrapped or repurposed into something else like public housing.

            Once a dead dollar can’t purchase imports our remaining capital resources here won’t be used for purposes like maintaining hospitals or universities. Those resources will instead first go towards building new factories here on US soil. Otherwise we’ll have health care but no shoes, clothing, or access to private transportation. That just ain’t gonna work. The important stuff will come first. For instance, keeping geriatrics alive at fantastic costs, covered in bedsores and not knowing who they are – well – that sort of activity will have to wait for a while.

            The health care system we have now is using our fear of dying as a way of extorting money out of us. The Church plays/played a similar game. Give the church 10 percent of your income and you’ll be safe and happy. With the prosperity gospel, you give a tv preacher money and God will give you back at least double your money, or maybe a hundredfold! The Caths will save your soul if you confess your sins and eat magic wafers. Most orthodox believers in modern medicine will scoff at church scams and then turn right around and fall for a science scam – like man made global warming. Or like modern medicine can save your life…..

            @ cowbell81:

            I agree that sometimes a person has to go to the doctor–for some conditions. On the other hand, there are many more illnesses that can be easily and effectively treated through natural methods at home than people realize.

            People commonly go to the doctor for UTIs, for example. These are easily and quickly curable with echinacea. (If you take the capsules from Walmart, you have to take huge doses, but that’s because they’re very weak. A homemade tincture will do the job with much smaller doses.) Another one is pink eye. You can cure this by smearing castor oil over and around the eye. This works literally overnight if you catch it early. If you let it get out of hand, you have to use a castor oil pack. I’ve cured my own gall bladder trouble by doing a gall bladder flush. (As you get older, you have to do this from time to time.) I cured my Graves Disease by not drinking tap water. The condition gradually improved; it took about six months to effect a complete cure. I cured a neighbor’s kidney stones with a kidney flush program. I could give many more examples.

            Still, I am often stumped. There is no longer a naturopath in my area, and it can be difficult to find effective treatments for some things. I am diabetic, and it appears that my pancreas is so far gone that it can’t be controlled with diet alone. I believe there is a cure out there somewhere, but I will probably not live long enough to figure out what it is.

            But, as my doctor says, “We all have a birth date and a death date.” Any very great confidence in medical treatments, either natural or unnatural, implies that you think you can cheat death.

          • Anthea August 11, 2022 at 10:26 am #

            Diabetes is an interesting subject. Much of what i’ve read indicates that the cause of insulin resistance is that insuling can no long “unlock” the little ports on the lipid layer of the body’s cells to allow glucose to enter the cells and fuel them. Hence the glucose remains in the bloodstream, and presumably the body’s cells don’t get properly fueled.

            The cause of this is presumably that there is something “wrong” with the lipid layer of the body’s cells. It is speculated that the structure is wrong due to the consumption of industrial fats and oils. I.e., the body is forced to build its cells’ lipid layer out of the incorrect materials. So it doesn’t come out right.

            Now, if this were the whole story, you would think that you could cure diabetes by eating only natural fats for a number of years, until most of your body’s cells had been replaced. But I don’t think this works.

            It’s also interesting that apparently bariatric surgery permanently cures diabetes in about 50-60% of cases. How is that possible? Could it be that diabetes is caused by some kind of pathology in the portion of the gut that is removed in bariatric surgery?

            Also, blood sugar control is helped by some herbs and foods. In some cases, the effect seems to be purely mechanical; foods that contain high amounts of fiber slow the absorption of sugar. In other cases the herb’s action is unrelated to the fiber content. This makes me wonder what, exactly, its action is caused by.

            There is one herb, Gymnema syvestre, that has been used to cure diabetes in lab rats. (I think that this was in cases where diabetes had first been artificially induced.) While it is claimed to be helpful in humans, it does not appear to be a cure.

            To be honest, I have never found any of the herbs that are claimed to lower blood sugar to have much (if any) effect.

            The only food that I think may significantly lower blood sugar is poke salat–and that is based on very limited experience. I particularly like poke salat (which should only be eaten in the spring and is poisonous at other times), and I noticed some rather dramatic drops in my blood sugar after eating it this spring. But this might have been a coincidence.

            Anthea, here is something I remember from A+P.
            Insulin is used by your body to get glucose into the cells. The mitochondria in your cells manufacture ATP which gives you the energy.
            Fun side fact: Mitochondria are not part of your DNA, they are a foreign entity in all of your cells which come from your maternal side.
            Anyway, if you are exercising you don’t need insulin for the glucose to enter your cells. There is another mechanism that I can no longer remember which facilitates that.
            So doing strenuous exercise means that less insulin is needed for diabetics.
            I don’t know how much a Type 2 would need to keep your blood glucose stable. I would speculate that frequent exercise throughout the day might help.

    I admit that the idea of the long covid emergency and subsequent vax, could really have it’s roots in getting rid of Trumo. The subsequent vax campaign being nothing more than opportunistic greed. The following cover ups is simple criminal fear.
    Maybe the vax companies actually thought they created a benign product, morally and profitably equivalent to the $200 hammers of the Strategic Defense Initiative waste.
    Maybe they pretended to ignore the facts rapidly coming out about what their products really are doing.
    But in a world where my vaxxed friends and family play the conversation game of what are the symptoms and why I am sure I got the good one, everyone knows that there is a real problem.
    If anyone reading this was involved in any stage of the vax, come forward now. As in all crimes, only the 1st to talk gets leniency.

    I don’t think the covid op was put in place to get rid of Trump.
    In a sense, he was collateral damage, but very much welcomed.

    It could be argued that Trump missed the real opportunity to lead by falling for all the BS he, and the country, was fed.

    His response to the covid op was of a piece with his response to being elected president in the first place: He ‘excelled’ in choosing the worse advisors and team mates.

    This repeatedly revealed flaw of not recognizing true governing and policy-making talent needed to run the country and confront internal and external dangers and emergencies is highly ironic in light of his earlier TV persona, and makes the whole tale verge on the tragic.

The cheap energy age is over, and that salient fact will determine most of what happens going forward, including the inability of overgrown central governments to manage anything competently. The more grandiose their attempted work-arounds look, the more certainly they’ll fail. And, as that happens, government at the gigantic scale will shed legitimacy.”

      While I disagree that justice will be done and the perps prosecuted, I do like this part:

      JHK: “Most of these coming changes are beyond the control of government. They are historically emergent — the zeitgeist is in charge of them, not “Joe Biden” or Pete Buttigieg. The cheap energy age is over, and that salient fact will determine most of what happens going forward, including the inability of overgrown central governments to manage anything competently. The more grandiose their attempted work-arounds look, the more certainly they’ll fail. And, as that happens, government at the gigantic scale will shed legitimacy.”

      I don’t know as I would call it “the zeitgeist”–though maybe that’s the right word after all.

      I would call it “the times of the deluge,” akin to the destruction of Atlantis. In Timaeus, the Egyptian priest told Solon, ““There have been, and there will be again, many destructions of mankind arising out of many causes; the greatest have been brought about by fire and water.” The priest adds, “You remember a single deluge only, but there were many previous ones.”

      These thing are cyclical. The “signs of the times” that Jesus spoke of have never been more evident. We don’t see them easily, because, unlike the changes of the seasons or the weather, the timeframe is not on a human scale.

      The destruction of Atlantis was supposedly about 12,800 years ago. The near-destruction of all humankind that led to the “population bottleneck,” during which time the human population was reduced to about 3,000-10,000 surviving individuals worldwide, was about 74,000 years ago.

      I think we’re looking at something on that kind of scale.

      If the world has ever seen anything like the worldwide corruption and viciousness of our present times, we have no record of it. And it kind of figures that any records would have been lost.

      This one will be a doozy.

            The vaccinated fare so badly against Omicron because vaccine-induced antibodies against the Wuhan Alpha spike protein are next to useless against Omicron. So the underlying progressive immune system damage wrought by incessant spike protein production has almost nothing to hide behind, nothing to offset itself against.

            We therefore see in these figures a much closer estimate of how much damage has been done to vaccinated people than we were able to see with delta figures for cases in the vaccinated and unvaccinated..

            The UK has 69.45% double or triple vaccinated, 6.41% singly vaccinated and 24.14% unvaccinated (ourworldindata). So we will be doing very slightly worse than the Germans – having slightly more vaccination victims.

            By the end of January every fully-vaccinated person in both countries over 30 years old will have full blown vaccine mediated AIDS (an acquired IMMUNE DEFICIENCY syndrome). However much of the immune system that is presently left with the ability to fight Omicron will have gone.

    You guys who are doubting Jim’s predictions about coming prosecutions are once again missing the big picture.

    Repeat after me: continuity of government. This means that above all else, the #1 priority is to maintain the status quo with respect to the Big 5: political, security, banking, media and industry.

    No one in any position of power has to be coached about 1776, 1792, 1917, 1933, 1949 and more recently, Sri lanka. The name of the game is to keep it going, even if major assets need to be cut loose and discarded.

    It’s like the situation with nuclear power – it won’t come about as the “right thing to do”, but rather as a concession to keep society functioning to the extent that a full surveillance and control system can be implemented.

    Watch for it; no matter how many are jailed, no matter how many are bankrupted, no matter how many lose their licenses, the USA, all 50 states (+territories) and the $USD will remain in place.

    Bank on it. Bank on inflation, bank on nukes, bank on mass/shared EV, bank on social stability. And then bank on the rollout of digital passes and other social control mechanisms.

    • BackRowHeckler August 8, 2022 at 6:04 pm #

      Yeah I was thinking about that. Above and beyond 800,000 police officers in the US, the courts, the prison system, prosecutors, parole officers, probation officers, sheriffs, county jailers, State Police, federal agents in every agency, prison guards etc. must account for tens of millions of enforcement nomenclature whose mission it is to keep the State going no matter what. The whole country could be a smoldering ruin from LA to NYC but there will still be people arrested by the thousands each day, tried in courts, and locked up in prisons. The prison/penitentiary system isn’t going anywhere no matter what. In fact it is likely to grow to immense proportions.

      Similar to the NKVD in the Soviet Union in the late 1930s. The NKVD and the Gulags system by then was the State; there was nothing else.

        Having narrowly escaped being an alumnus of one of the state penal institutions, brh, I was wonder about what sort of mechanism is in place to, ahh, “deal with” inmates in case of a general collapse.

        For instance,is there a Zyklon “B” release mechanism in place at the Supermax in Colorado, with an “abandon ship” signal for guards and staff to exit before the residents are put to sleep? In case of a general national disaster, you don’t want thousands of hardened criminals pouring into public places. So what do they plan to do about them? I doubt whether this has gone unnoticed, in contingency planning.

        A couple of years ago there was a hurricane that brought misery to the Southeast, and prisoners were among the temporarily inconvenienced sufferers. There was plenty of squealing about “drowned rats” but no fatalities reported.

        A compact neutron bomb would solve the problem of the social undesirables without ruining the real estate.

          Gotta have PROBABLE CAUSE to get a Search Warrant, don’t you? As Cippolone (and many other Trump appointed lawyers and judges) said, theories without evidence is ZERO and gets you nowhere.

          Anyway, I gathered recently that you have no time for that racist, misogynistic, pussy-grabbing rapist, being a feminist and all…

          • Night Owl August 9, 2022 at 8:39 am #

            They had probable cause.

          • JohnAZ August 9, 2022 at 11:43 am #

            Probable cause?

            C’mon Redneck, get real. The destruction of Steele Dossier and the fraud of the Dems with that attempt to stifle Trump. The Left does not follow the rules. The judges issuing the “warrants” are as corrupt as the rest of the DOJ Mob.

            Your name calling acumen still stands out, you belong in the MSM.

            Remember this crud we have as a president is a misogynistic, little girl sniffing, reverse racist. How come you do not deride his person as much as Trump?

      • Redneck Liberal August 8, 2022 at 10:32 pm #

        Wray, huh? Is he a Deep State operative? A fuckin’ commie, maybe?

        On June 7, 2017, President Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate Wray to be the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, replacing James Comey, who was dismissed by Trump on May 9, 2017.

        Trump only hired “the best people”, as you know. Under Trump’s “Schedule F” plan, a sitting FBI Director would not survive the transition of administration, would it? But here’s Christopher Wray, a Trump appointee, still in the job after 18 months of the Biden administration. It COULD be – just entertain this possibility for a brief second – that the people making this decision (as part of the deeper investigation) know some things that YOU don’t, and are perfectly capable of doing their jobs.

          The FBI was already in on the coup attempt against Trump. Like Schumer said, the intel agencies have ‘six ways from Sunday’ to get you, referring to Trump.

          Trump didn’t pull Wray out of a hat. He was fed to Trump on a silver swamp platter. That’s why he’s still there. Rod Rosenstein might have given the recommendation.

          Try looking for the ‘gators.

            If those consequences happen to include disqualification from running for office, that’s coincidental.

    ” Well that’s fine. But in reality your capitol Rome is essentially at its heart simply another example of “Jesus slept here”. Jesus said the kingdom is in our midst. ”

    — Soft Star Light

    ” But in reality your capitol Rome is essentially at its heart simply another example of “Jesus slept here”.

    I think not.

    There are exceptions to every rule , but generally the rule of thumb I take regarding cities is one I would call , ” The Jeremiah Johnson rule of thumb ” ;

    If you have seen one city , you have seen them all.

    My guess is Rome would be no different.

    If I never see Rome , I reckon I doubt I will keenly regret it on my death bed.

    If you haven’t seen a postal or UPS main artery , are you kicking yourself?

    That’s what Rome is to me ;

    Like a post office warehouse.

    As important, arguably, as any other necessity of civilized existence ,

    But , while I am guessing, my guess is Softstarlight doesn’t picture tourist attraction when she hears the term ,

    ” Postal warehouse depot ” ?

    “Jesus said the kingdom is in our midst. ”

    Yeah ,

    and , believe it or not , I believe in the brotherhood of man.

    — never the less , I was flatly opposed to German reunification 30 years ago , and STILL am 30 years later.

    As likewise I suspect I’m far fonder of the concept of equality than Thomas Jefferson ever really was ,

    Never the less my doctors prescription for North America is Secession.

    Oh well ,

    20th and 21st Century man is so thoroughly and ubiquitously steeped in Statism that one can say ,

    ” Apostolic Succession is not an accessory, it is core ”

    A hundred times over , and the idea still doesn’t sink in.

          and that is the extent of it.

          ” Man is conceived in sin , and born into corruption,
          and he passes from the stink of the ditty , to the stench of the shroud ”

          Maybe he borrowed that from the Bible ?

          In any case , it is in his book , ” All the Kings Men ” ,

        “I think I’ll go right on smoking my brand rather than theirs.”

        Did someone suggest you change brands? I must have missed that. It is odd to start a conversation by saying something at least lightly contemptuous of another ‘brand’ and then, when they respond defensively (and, in a sense, not even that, just courteously clarifying an interpretation), try to make it look as if you had been attacked.

        Not that I’m assuming this last post was addressed to me. Of course it wasn’t ‘addressed’ to anyone, but was rather one of those posts addressing the readership and inviting them to scorn another poster. But it’s form of non-address is a form of words of the kind you would reserve for me, so who knows?

        I any case I may (clearly) be very stupid, but I don’t see anything in it that has any relevance to anything I said, so, again, who knows? I’m not sure what our ‘wishes’ have to do with anything. They certainly can’t change reality. I don’t know why, if one made it to Heaven, one would care in the slightest who was also there (leaving aside that it would obviously be great to see one’s loved ones). Certainly the ‘you’ who made it to Heaven presumably wouldn’t care.

        My personal ‘wish’, if we were allowed wishes, which we aren’t, would be that Hell should not exist at all. I couldn’t seriously contemplate even Bill Gates or Klaus Schwab having to endure it, as described, for more than about 60 seconds. It should be enough, as with all of us, that they see themselves and everything they did, with utter clarity. And regret it.

        So, yes, I would happily accept the deal that Klaus, Billy, Pol Pot and the Yorkshire Ripper would all be at the banquet, if it meant that my brother, my children, my husband and my friends were all allowed to sit in a modest corner. That seems like a very good deal and probably better than I will get. But I can hope.

        • GreenAlba August 9, 2022 at 5:53 am #

          To clarify, when I say ‘it should be enough’, I mean for us. I don’t presume to use ‘should’ in relation to God.

      Well yes, you’re right, I don’t plan on vacationing at a postal warehouse depot. But then again, I don’t exactly expect to happen across holy relics at such a place though no doubt stranger things have occurred. I must admit it is very interesting that one can so easily balance a strong adherence to an authentic equality all the while cultivating a deep and inherent sense of hierarchy and separateness. Nonetheless I don’t assume that our cosmologies are the same. But as such are similar enough that we have arrived at this particular discussion. My original point primarily being that church can be more than a physical structure or a particular caste of priests or bishops. So getting back to those historical personalities and all, may I ask who your Doctor is?

      • Jarek August 9, 2022 at 11:38 am #

        The truly amazing thing is the people who think that all but a tiny handful of people are going to burn forever – and think that is in line with a merciful God who knew when He created them that would be their fate, past, present, and future all being one to Him.

        Or that salvation depends on something grabbing a dying person’s face and sprinkling some water on it and saying the magic words. And if you didn’t get to them in time, they’re going to burn for all time.

        And all the Cultures and Civilizations that never knew Christ or Christianity? Easy: they all burn forever, each and everyone. People like this are insane and their God is a monster.

          “Many of these children of the flesh are unbelievers, having no faith in Christ at all. Others are believers in Christ, but yet their faith is in their own promise to God. They think that their salvation is rooted in their own promise to follow Christ. Their idea of the New Covenant is that the Holy Spirit will help them fulfill their Old Covenant promise/vow to follow Christ. Faith in one’s own will is faith in the flesh, keeping people in bondage as children of the flesh.”

    I don’t watch the news, so I’m naturally rather foggy on what Trump did , or didn’t do that January day.

    I suspect it doesn’t matter anyway.

    For years my sincere advice to the accused has consistently been ,

    If practical ; RUN.

    If not practical,

    even more than the pleasure of fucking you over , the sociopath revels in your acceptance of his proposition that it was all and solely your fault.

    So don’t.

    Anyway , presumably Trump could run.

    An Edward Snowden in Moscow is one thing , who the Hell is Snowden anyway ?

    But a US President in Moscow would be really fucking fun.

    The system is now rigged ?

    Then my guess is a soapbox in Moscow would be more effective, at least in a case such as this ,

    Than a trial that , by your logic , could only be rigged.

You always owe more with each line crossed.

    ” Curious about the baby-killer comment, Kesa.”

    — Mr. Mango

    Lol , it occurred to me later that folks might interpret the baby – killer thing as a reference to abortion.

    No , it was a reference to East German policy as it relates to me.

    I subscribe to the perhaps quaint, or eccentric, notion that you are responsible for the policies you endorse.

    I left East Germany when I was ten years old , so obviously I was never a Border Gaurd , and never actually shot anyone.

    I endorsed the Berlin Wall then , because I believed the West and the United States in particular were a threat , and that folks who wanted to leave East Germany were not inspired by noble motives , but rather by negative motives.

    Granted , at 8 years old my belief in such things was rather in the category of a belief in the Fairey Godmother.

    But I endorse the Berlin Wall NOW.

    Today , I’m convinced the United States is a threat , like I’m convinced the sun is in the sky.

    And while , believe it or not , I don’t have a beef against profit — who doesn’t want some of the gravy ? —

    I do not think a desire for McMansions or Cadillac Escalade’s are a freedom I need particularly respect.

    Actually, I don’t know if any babies , specifically,
    were ever shot at the wall ?

    Maybe none ?

    But , as I have said before, the killing of children is implicit in modern war.

    So the supposed balking over crimes against the under – 18 crowd strikes me as just that ;

    Supposed.

    Casting a wider net ; If hypothetically East Germany still existed , and you actually did attack us ,

    Well , the standard actual practice in modern war is that WHATEVER MOVES , IN A PARTICULAR DIRECTION, is shot at.

    — or even , often enough , if it doesn’t move.

    I suppose I could say that if you are really so concerned about the mortality of your children , you could always surrender to East Germany.

    Then they won’t be shot at.

    Otherwise …..

    Of course that’s all hypothetical.

    Except this current war in Ukraine is not .

    I really am sorry that Ukrainian children, or any Ukrainian’s, are being shot.

    But well, actually I don’t speak much Russian at all , I would need a sugar daddy to finance plane tickets and such , and I doubt the Russian Army would be interested in recruiting a 30 year veteran of 3 to 6 packs of cigarettes a day .

    But , given all of that , yes , I would be doing my bit to try and shoot Ukrainian’s.

    My only regret there is that it took so long to get to a point where Russia is not entirely in checkmate,

    Like it actually was the entire period of the fake cold war , and my youth.

    If you had looked at a color – coded map of the world in 1975 , you would have noticed that about 1/ 4th of the world was Communist.

    But it looked like more than it was.

    We had Ethiopia.

    Well , everybody is scared of Ethiopia. :p

    We had Cuba. Cuba’s main export is sugar , and they shut down the casinos and brothels.

    Maybe we can kill them with sugar ?

    We had Vietnam —- world’s best source for rubber , except that everyone has pretty much transitioned to petroleum – based rubber.

    And the Chinese actually absolutely hated our fucking guts. Communism or no Communism.

      William Blum explained why the east Germans built the wall…

      First of all, before the wall went up in 1961 thousands of East Germans had been commuting to the West for jobs each day and then returning to the East in the evening; many others went back and forth for shopping or other reasons. So they were clearly not being held in the East against their will. Why then was the wall built? There were two major reasons:

      1) The West was bedeviling the East with a vigorous campaign of recruiting East German professionals and skilled workers, who had been educated at the expense of the Communist government. This eventually led to a serious labor and production crisis in the East. As one indication of this, the New York Times reported in 1963: “West Berlin suffered economically from the wall by the loss of about 60,000 skilled workmen who had commuted daily from their homes in East Berlin to their places of work in West Berlin.”

      It should be noted that in 1999, USA Today reported: “When the Berlin Wall crumbled [1989], East Germans imagined a life of freedom where consumer goods were abundant and hardships would fade. Ten years later, a remarkable 51% say they were happier with communism.” Earlier polls would likely have shown even more than 51% expressing such a sentiment, for in the ten years many of those who remembered life in East Germany with some fondness had passed away; although even 10 years later, in 2009, the Washington Post could report: “Westerners [in Berlin] say they are fed up with the tendency of their eastern counterparts to wax nostalgic about communist times.”

      It was in the post-unification period that a new Russian and eastern Europe proverb was born: “Everything the Communists said about Communism was a lie, but everything they said about capitalism turned out to be the truth.”

      It should be further noted that the division of Germany into two states in 1949 – setting the stage for 40 years of Cold War hostility – was an American decision, not a Soviet one.

      2) During the 1950s, American cold-warriors in West Germany instituted a crude campaign of sabotage and subversion against East Germany designed to throw that country’s economic and administrative machinery out of gear. The CIA and other US intelligence and military services recruited, equipped, trained and financed German activist groups and individuals, of West and East, to carry out actions which ran the spectrum from juvenile delinquency to terrorism; anything to make life difficult for the East German people and weaken their support of the government; anything to make the commies look bad.

      It was a remarkable undertaking. The United States and its agents used explosives, arson, short circuiting, and other methods to damage power stations, shipyards, canals, docks, public buildings, gas stations, public transportation, bridges, etc; they derailed freight trains, seriously injuring workers; burned 12 cars of a freight train and destroyed air pressure hoses of others; used acids to damage vital factory machinery; put sand in the turbine of a factory, bringing it to a standstill; set fire to a tile-producing factory; promoted work slow-downs in factories; killed 7,000 cows of a co-operative dairy through poisoning; added soap to powdered milk destined for East German schools; were in possession, when arrested, of a large quantity of the poison cantharidin with which it was planned to produce poisoned cigarettes to kill leading East Germans; set off stink bombs to disrupt political meetings; attempted to disrupt the World Youth Festival in East Berlin by sending out forged invitations, false promises of free bed and board, false notices of cancellations, etc.; carried out attacks on participants with explosives, firebombs, and tire-puncturing equipment; forged and distributed large quantities of food ration cards to cause confusion, shortages and resentment; sent out forged tax notices and other government directives and documents to foster disorganization and inefficiency within industry and unions … all this and much more.

      The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, of Washington, DC, conservative coldwarriors, in one of their Cold War International History Project Working Papers (#58, p.9) states: “The open border in Berlin exposed the GDR [East Germany] to massive espionage and subversion and, as the two documents in the appendices show, its closure gave the Communist state greater security.”

      Throughout the 1950s, the East Germans and the Soviet Union repeatedly lodged complaints with the Soviets’ erstwhile allies in the West and with the United Nations about specific sabotage and espionage activities and called for the closure of the offices in West Germany they claimed were responsible, and for which they provided names and addresses. Their complaints fell on deaf ears. Inevitably, the East Germans began to tighten up entry into the country from the West, leading eventually to the infamous wall. However, even after the wall was built there was regular, albeit limited, legal emigration from east to west. In 1984, for example, East Germany allowed 40,000 people to leave. In 1985, East German newspapers claimed that more than 20,000 former citizens who had settled in the West wanted to return home after becoming disillusioned with the capitalist system. The West German government said that 14,300 East Germans had gone back over the previous 10 years.

      Let’s also not forget that while East Germany completely denazified, in West Germany for more than a decade after the war, the highest government positions in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches contained numerous former and “former” Nazis.

      Finally, it must be remembered, that Eastern Europe became communist because Hitler, with the approval of the West, used it as a highway to reach the Soviet Union to wipe out Bolshevism forever, and that the Russians in World War I and II, lost about 40 million people because the West had used this highway to invade Russia. It should not be surprising that after World War II the Soviet Union was determined to close down the highway.

      • cowbell81 August 9, 2022 at 10:18 am #

        It has been said that as President, you get to decide which documents should be preserved or destroyed. You have the power to declassify and determine preservation. Trump decided these docs were not worthy of preservation, so he kept them as personal mementos. End of story, game over, case closed.

        Let Trump just do his thing. But oh wait, he is planning a come back tour in 2024, so the deep state is pulling out all the stops to ensure Trump is further destroyed. Watch for assassination attempts by the deep state soon. If they succeed in that, Civil War 2.0 is almost guaranteed.

        • JohnAZ August 9, 2022 at 10:55 am #

          Folks, this is it. You are witnessing the Mob’s takeover attempt. We are in the middle of the attempted installation of the Uniparty in DC. Trump is a big part of it. He is the only guy that will fight these Uniparty folks, he understands them, he knows what Schwab, Biden et al are up to. The difference?

          Trump tried to work within the bounds of the Constitution and became an unwilling dupe to the Deep State, He reflected his party’s conservative nature. He did not realize that half that party would stab him in the back.

          The Dems pay no attention to the Constitution, just attempt to change anything that gets in their way. That does not exclude murder. The ends (their ends) justify the means.

          Remember the violence aimed at the Trump family when he dared to beat HRC. Remember the thugs cornering conservative officials and SC justices. You are certainly not surprised the Brownshirts invaded his home, are you?

          The Left is comprised of thugs, no better than the characters in Godfather. Biden’s family is a reflection of The Godfather, Sonny and Michael.

            Thank you for watching and responding. Sorry about the car club confusion. I had never heard of such a thing. Maybe we have them here too, but I’ve never heard of it.

            Some people rent cars instead of buying. But they keep the rented car at their home. The model you’re describing is more like what we now have with motorized scooters laying around waiting for people to rent them out with their I phones for a ride.

            Yes, it’s been around for a while.

            enterprisecarclub.co.uk/gb/en/programs/regions/scotland/edinburgh.html

            Originally it was organised by the Council. As an old – and compact – city where half of households live in Victorian or Georgian tenements, there is obviously a problem if everyone wants a car. Then they sold it to Enterprise, which is American of course. It’s country-wide, so if you are a member you can use a car anywhere in the country where it operates. It makes plenty of sense if you only need a car occasionally. And the Council helps by providing parking spaces. Stupid people occasionally park in the designated space or complain that there is therefore one less parking space for car owners in the street, because they haven’t the wit to figure out that, without the car club car there might be another 50 private cars competing with them for a space.

            Not all sharing initiatives are a bad thing. They only become a bad thing if totalitarianism creeps in.

        www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=wociP-Kiizg

        After winning the Heisman in 1972 with the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Rodgers turned down the NFL’s San Diego Chargers to sign the CFL’s first $1,000,000 contract with Montreal.

        J.R. used to burn defensive backs and kick coverage guys so badly that he would turn around and run the final 10 or even 15 yards into the end-zone BACKWARDS.

    Mary: The Dalai Lama is a pos. She hates Trump too. Both are men after all.

      Despite the helplessness doom porn that is always splashed across this thread I do think this is a pivotal moment. A turning point. This morning millions upon millions now view the regime as null and void. It’s a chess game. We know that they want us to become violent so that they can justify a massacre and then a complete and total crackdown. They don’t realize that so many people are well aware of their games now.

      • SoftStarLight August 9, 2022 at 12:48 pm #

        Did you notice how they made sure to display machine guns as they stood at the entrance to Mar a Lago? That was the real message they wanted to send and it wasn’t to Trump. the social contract is over.

        • cowbell81 August 9, 2022 at 1:00 pm #

          Yeah, because the bookish types at the National Archives really demanded that the FBI go in there guns ablazin’ to get a few boxes of paper back for their files.

          This isn’t a rare copy of the Constitution or Magna Carta they are after.

          The machines guns were totally unnecessary, and simply for show.

          These are the same guns the IRS will be using when they come to your homes to conduct an audit.

            Bingo! The IRS agents will be armed to the teeth since they have been buying off massive rounds of ammo and it has been stated as such.

      • Slugoon August 9, 2022 at 3:38 pm #

        I wonder if that’s what’s killing all these extra folk? They’ve been triaging all face-to-face appointments at my GP since June, cuz Covid, (so much for the safe and effective ‘vaccines’) but last I heard it’s okay to die from anything as long as it’s not the Crud.

    • Soul Forensics August 9, 2022 at 2:22 pm #

      There is no Covid.

      • Bob Polecat August 9, 2022 at 4:19 pm #

        “There is no Covid.”

        There is something. In February 2022, a good (unjabbed) friend of mine was knocked on her ass for over 3 weeks with a “bug” WAY worse than anything else that she has ever had in her 57 years here on Earth.

        Full disclosure: She is unjabbed but closely works 20 hours/week with jabbed co-workers and jabbed clients (in a hair salon).

        • Soul Forensics August 9, 2022 at 4:32 pm #

          With all due respect, one anecdote counts for nothing. Also, the seasonal flu, as we age, can have increasingly devastating consequences.

          • Bob Polecat August 9, 2022 at 4:58 pm #

            With all due respect, if one goes claiming an absolute, then one anecdote can indeed prove, beyond shadow of doubt, the claimer wrong.

            Unsurprisingly, my good friend has had her share of seasonal flus over the decades. She is healthy and 57 (not 77 0r 87). What she went through in Feb. was not our standard seasonal flu.

            Something real that exists knocked her on her otherwise very healthy ass for over 3 weeks. It was something – not nothing.

          • Soul Forensics August 9, 2022 at 5:18 pm #

            Yes, but I don’t posit that each seasonal flu is the same. Some are more severe, some are less severe.

            Ironically, to your point, it’s been pointed out by virologists and statisticians that the flu season of (early) 2019, before ‘Covid’, was much worse than flu runs in ’20, ’21, and ’22. If ‘Covid’ were indeed the big, bad pandemic we’re constantly being lied to about, the opposite would, of course, be true.

            Note also that no one seems to get seasonal flu anymore. Seasonal flu is instead transferred to ‘Covid’. But they can’t hide the mortality stats any more. Despite the hospitals’ incentive to hide cause of death (it’s vaxx injuries, not ‘Covid’), deaths per capita are going up, but cause of death is now being fudged since they can’t just fob it off as ‘Covid’ any longer.

            To wit, the leading cause of death now in Alberta and from some of the largest hospitals in Indonesia is …. ’cause unknown’. (Euphemisms are sudden infant death syndrome and sudden adult death syndrome.)

          • Bob Polecat August 9, 2022 at 5:45 pm #

            Coronaviruses are real. And like all viruses, always changing. You and your friend experienced a really bad one, perhaps the same one. Wanting to be in touch with the Zeitgeist, you want to call it covid. That’s not proven or provable.

            All the talk about “long covid”? The same lingering effects had previously been noted for the flu, etc.

          • Bob Polecat August 9, 2022 at 9:29 pm #

            No. It exists. They named it ‘Covid.’ My friend got it.

            SF claims that it does not exist while it, in fact, does exist. It is as simple as that.

          • GreenAlba August 10, 2022 at 7:26 am #

            Anecdotes may count for nothing, but I don’t personally think the late Prof. Luc Montagnier’s judgement in the matter counts for nothing, even though I’m open to the idea that anything is possible.

            Prof. Montagnier, who got his Nobel prize for being a co-discoverer of HIV, observed that the virus was a coronavirus with two splices of HIV. He emphasised that, despite the HIV splices, it remained overwhelmingly a coronavirus. He also pointed out that, at the very start of the pseudopandemic, a team of Indian scientists had observed this too. I recall seeing the Indian paper at the time.

            In addition to that, I’m happy with Dr Chetty’s testimony (you don’t say … 🙂 ). Dr Chetty treated a biphasic illness where the first 7-day phase involved viral replication, easily treated, and the second phase, always starting on Day 8 (but only in a minority of people sensitive to the spike protein) required different medications. To my knowledge, this is not how flu operates, although it is still likely that many ‘cases’ in the world generally may have been undiagnosed flu.

    Ignored the black books. Ignored Hunter’s laptop. Ignored Biden’s open admission to bribing Ukraine officials.

    SMDH.

    This is why I don’t share Jim’s optimism.

    • cowbell81 August 9, 2022 at 1:49 pm #

      Yep, they are definitely wearing rose tinted glasses, they only see and pursue what they actually want to see. Now maybe if Trump was really part of the deep state, then he would have been paying off the big powers from the get-go, so none of this would even be happening.

      He has now officially pissed off enough people in elite positions of power and poked the bear enough times that they are still trying to bring him down.

      This entire FBI raid virtually guarantees Trump the nomination for 2024, and he will likely profit a great deal from this through campaign contributions. He can use all of these events to his advantage and likely even go all the way by winning the next election (as long as Trump can throw off the shackles of a fake election and ensure things are not rigged this time around).

      • Jarek August 9, 2022 at 4:09 pm #

    MAR A LAGO NIGHTMARE

    You go to bed, and in the distance, you seem to hear the sound of thousands of boots, dark armies of the night crushing skulls with every step, getting closer and closer, closer to caving in your own cranium.

    You’re not yet asleep, and you seem to sense the gun bore close to your brain case. The bayonet tip is ready for your spine, its point pricking your skin, blood just about ready to drip.

    You’re restless, you are at home, and you know that your home is your castle, your safe haven, your family’s empire, but now you are not so sure. Startled, you realize that all of the homes in America have just been entered, the dark army coming in even through locked doors. You can’t see them, but this army of predatory phantoms have desecrated your domicile.

    Now you are wide awake and in a hot banana republic sweat, you can’t believe this nightmare, you aren’t sleeping, and, well, you are at home. Then it hits you like a fast freight train that no, you aren’t at ‘home’ anymore. You and the entire nation have been dispossessed, thrown out onto third world streets, homeless, but still with a roof over your head and the dark army at your door.

      tucsonspur: “You’re restless, you are at home, and you know that your home is your castle, your safe haven, your family’s empire…”

      This notion has been a part of the now-debunked and vaporized American Dream. And like most dreams in the dark… it vaporized in the cold harsh light of day and was revealed to be more grounded in fantasy and wishful thinking than reality.

      You have no home. You have no castle, no safe haven, no family empire when living in The Empire. When the entire Globe is seen as ‘The Battlefield!’. When you dwell in the Land of ‘Full Spectrum Dominance!’. When you have no true title to your home and property or anything in face of predatory taxation and overwhelming and prevailing State rights of seizure at any moment. When – in the Covid Coup that just robbed you of any rights of bodily autonomy that you thought you once had – that your very flesh and blood is now seen as State Property to be used and abused in whatever manner They see fit. Your family can have no empire in the face of The Empire of Empires.

      We live under the New Social Contract of Empire: You will own nothing. Not even your body and soul. AND YOU WILL LIKE IT. The Social contract of ‘They’ have all rights and own everything and you have no rights and own NOTHING. A Contract of institutionalized Depravity and Dehumanization.

      The idea of ‘Home’ is as central to the integrity and identity of being a human being (or any living creature) that it is inseparable from who we are. And when Home no longer exists… We don’t, either.

      There is a reason we don’t stand too close to people we don’t know. Bodily integrity and reasonable space without threat or imposition is a bedrock human (and animal) quality. But when Empire invades our homes and our bodies… it is the most invasive and harmful parasite ever conjured.

      Empire is not just standing too close to us. We are now fully enveloped and encased within it as it grows without end.

      We the People are now Virus within The Empire.

      • tucsonspur August 9, 2022 at 6:29 pm #

    I bet the box of documents the FBI was after in the Mar A Lago raid was nothing more than a bunch of mean tweets that Trump had sent out and saved for future review. They probably hurt the little FBI agent’s feelings and they wanted to get back at him for that.

  84. cowbell81 August 9, 2022 at 2:37 pm #

    Looks like the speech was misplaced, and they were about to send a raid to Trump’s residence to try and find it.

    These people are so jovial, you just have to love them, and they are truly getting things done for the American people!!! lol

    Snippet of article follows:

    At a Tuesday bill signing ceremony on the White House’s south lawn, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) got a laugh from the crowd as she coped with the mystery of the missing speech.

    President Joe Biden signed the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 into law at a White House event that included remarks by both Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Speaker Pelosi.

    After Schumer spoke, he introduced Pelosi, who upon reaching the podium realized her prepared remarks were not there.

    “Let me see what’s…” said Pelosi quietly as she flipped through the pages in front of her. “The president’s speech is here.”

    She then said more loudly into the microphone, “I think I have the president’s speech here.”

    She laughed and the crowd laughed along with her. Biden stepped slightly forward and said “what’d they do with yours?

    With a slightly frustrated chuckle, Pelosi replied, “I don’t know what they did with it, but I can do without it,” and laughed again.

    Someone then handed her speech to her from the front row as the crowd lightly applauded.

    “Thank you,” said Pelosi.

    Biden remarked, “That’s helpful.”

    Pelosi then began her prepared remarks with, “Mr. President,” and paused as the two of them laughed and the audience joined in.

  85. cowbell81 August 9, 2022 at 2:39 pm #

    They should bring back a revival of the CHiPs tv show and have it featuring Bedtime Biden and his crew’s efforts to get the recent legislation passed and enforced throughout the land. Throw in a couple of bumbling FBI agents and it would be a true hoot!

    120 illegal miners of Zama Zama in South Africa rape 8 models (at least 10 times each) during a sequestered production shoot. A week ago.

    Passing interest from the MSM who, of course, don’t mention the ethnic and cultural make-up of these evil fucks.

    A Zama Zama promo video premiered not long ago. The narrative (no surprise) concentrated on the esteemed members of the tribe as victims (what? But Nelson Mandela’s dreams have succeeded! The Blacks are running the show) who navigate dangerous mines in order to survive. Apparently, rape, I suppose, is now a survival mechanism, no doubt necessary to “blow off steam from their stressful lives”.

    The Zama Zama video was praised at various film festivals, obviously from naive and brainwashed liberals who got vague, misty feelings in the region of their hearts (those who still had any).

    Checking on the official Zama Zama website (what? you thought thuggery would hide their operations? In hasn’t deterred BLM), under their ‘news’ banner, no mention of the gang rape. Last entry was about the ‘success’ of the promo film on Feb 22.

      Meanwhile in Albuquerque, NM, CNN has been breathlessly reporting the murder of 4 Muslim men — obviously a HATE CRIME PERPETRATED BY WHITE SUPREMACISTS. Not so fast — police have made an arrest, a Shia Muslim who wasn’t too pleased when his daughter married a Sunni Muslim. Apparently this esteemed American Citizen thought he was back in Islamabad, where differences are solved by murder.

      Incidentally I was reading an article today that claimed White America has one of the lowest rates of violent crime in the world, about equal to that of the Czech Republic.

    Speaking of acronyms, I went out today to look at an SUV (or was it a CUV?). It had FCW, AEB w/ pedestrian detection, RCTW, LDW and LKA. It was an ICE not an EV, but I couldn’t afford it. I screamed UYA at the salesperson as I ran out the door LOL, hopped in my ’78 Volare w/ the 225 hp slant six and 345.000 mi and headed home.

      I can’t remember which CFNer gave me shit about a week ago for repeating Klaus Schwab’s claim that Vlad Putin is a WEFer. I was rudely told to research before showing up with one-source info on CFN like this is my PhD dissertation or something.

      I turned the table and told him to present evidence to the contrary to dispute Klaus Schwab’s claim but never did hear back from him.

      Yes indeed.

      A smaller version of the grandiose NEOM techno-fantasy has already been in play for over a decade — Dubai. The difference is that Dubai is for rich tourists without taste and brains and who choose to go there, whereas NEOM is for coerced citizens. Dubai ‘works’ because the technology (air-conditioning pipes under sandy beaches to prevent sunbathers from burning their feet), though ridiculous, is still fairly workable at a localized, smaller-scale rollout. (That said, Burj Dubai almost didn’t get built, and the kandura-draped Sheikh had to go, begging bowl in hand, to his ruling colleague next door in Abu Dhabi — oil-rich, unlike Dubai — for $$.)

      Also, LaMDA has also been in play for a while, in a sense. I visited a site about 15 years ago (now defunct) called something like “Q & A With God” where anyone could type in a question or series of questions to a bot program. “God” was quite funny, but you’d get these mangled nonsensical answers at times, especially if you asked something even slightly esoteric or complex. And I’d ask it absurd shit. Great fun.

      • Paula D August 10, 2022 at 12:12 pm #

        I have a facebook friend who lives in Dubai.

          Depends on personal circumstances of the foreigners. Those who live in Dubai are generally recruited there for their business/technological/engineering expertise. Compensated generously, and treated well.

          But even they get in major shit if they don’t pay their bills on time (immediate jail, hard to get bail — Arabs hate usury, in some ways admirable, but for, especially, poorer people from the West, not a good fit).

          Also, don’t drink alcohol. For rich Westerners, this is also a concern. Locals will sometimes them up, then blackmail by photographing them with drinks or planting mickeys in their handbags. Again, legal recourse there is brutal, and doesn’t even begin to approach “innocent until proven guilty” or other niceties of our sometimes functioning legal system.

          Also, and for women, especially from the West, though Dubai is more lax with respect to clothing regulations, the culture is no less austere and demanding when it comes to covering up the body. You might not get stoned and arrested for showing too much skin, but you’ll be ostracized.

          Again, single anecdotes are useless. To compare the on-the-ground realities of Dubai with Canada is ridiculous. But it sounds she’s fortunate to be in a protective money bubble. For those who fall through the cracks, which happens to some Westerners once their contracts run out and they don’t get out in time, well ….

      Great piece. Corbett has been a thought leader over the past few years, and I always find that has a knack for focusing on the key details of the plan, and brining all of those details together in a way that gives the less informed a very good and understandable overview.

      He is right that the GR and technocratic monolith is destined to fail, but the question is how far will things get?

      One area I think he could spend more time on is his rather idealistic supposition that all we need to do is work together and create systems that benefit society.

      The problem there is that the people most likely to acquire power and conspire against the rest are sociopaths. No one else spends the bulk of their time on this planet trying to find new ways to control others.

      This is a pattern that is repeated throughout history.

    Remember when Clinton National Security Advisor Sandy Berger got caught stealing classified documents from the Library of Congress lol? No big deal, good for a few laughs. I know for a fact his house didn’t get raided by the FBI. I tuned into CNN today and the same douches who were regular guests during the 2 impeachments and the Russia Collusion Hoax are back LoL. Saying the same bullsh#t. Dems are smug now, but this won’t go unanswered — believe me, there are people in the Republican Party who will endeavor to get even. It may take a few years — Could be a short 3 years from now when we see Bedpan Biden and his degenerate son dragged out of their Delaware mansion for Gross Malfeasance.

    “People like this are insane and their God is a monster.”

    Some people get confused as to Who will judge whom.

    It is not for us to determine the rules of His game. It is for us to learn and understand the rules and then to play His game to the very best of our ability.

    —–

    There was a bit of a strawman to boot. In order to be one of the statistical few in His ‘Book of Life’ who will receive God’s thumbs up on Judgement Day while the vast majority of sinners are damned to Hell for all eternity (where they belong), one need only give his heart to Christ. It is not about water sprinkles on deathbeds and magic words. It is about one’s heart.

    That’s my understanding.

    —–

    Also, everyone keeps going on about being all opposed to the insane. It ain’t so bad. Most of us tried that sanity thing for years and it just wasn’t for us.

    • Jarek August 9, 2022 at 9:13 pm #

      The one who created them then must also be put on trial and sent to Hell to suffer with the lesser monsters.

      It’s like people who shit on the ex’es and forget that they chose them. They think they are clean?

      Even Satan will be reconciled with his Father in the end.

      • Bob Polecat August 9, 2022 at 9:52 pm #

        No. He makes the rules, not you. If He gives everyone a chance and most fail, why does He go on trial and whose gonna make Him?

        It sounds like you are personifying Him. He is not mortal. He’s the boss. He is the judge. He will not be judged.

        Is an NFL coach a monster for cutting players at training camp in his efforts to field the best team possible … or is he merely doing his job to the best of his ability?

        —–

        No. Comparing a justly bitter man’s complaints of his stupid ex after he scratched and clawed for the first 50 years of his life to go from zero to $2,500,000 net worth only to then have his stupid, lazy, entitled, moronic ex claim a mil of it and then needlessly give the rest to crooked lawyers and random Finkles leaving the man who earned it all to face bankruptcy, destitution and even homelessness is nothing at all like God damning the failures to eternity in Hell (where they belong). In fact, the ex had best repent. Big time for what her lies, deceits, reneges, Rights Violations, crimes and Human Rights Violations have needlessly wrought.

        Further, the man complaining that she needlessly wasted over $1,500,000 (including their children’s financial support and rightful inheritance) does not mean that the man does not regret marrying such an economic moron nor that he thinks himself “clean.”

        It amazes me how often valid criticism is met with, “Oh yeah? You think that you are perfect?!”

        —–

        Finally, yes, I believe that you are right. After 1,000 years (alom time) of King Christ’s glorious reign, more Biblical fireworks ensue and Satan finally knows his place.

        • Jarek August 9, 2022 at 10:02 pm #

          I stayed out of your steel cage match with Cursher, but he (if it was him) had a valid point about how quickly you change your tune when your daughter comes up.

          And that speaks well of you of course. Why not feel a fraction of that compassion for all beings? And then reason from your frail ability to do to do so to the Compassion that our Common Father Endlessness (Gurdjieff), must feel. He became one of us, can you fucking believe it?

          No, friend OG – all of us will make it sooner or later. How soon is up to us, at least in part. And at that Banquet, you may ask the guy on your left to pass the potatoes only to see that it is Lucifer. And the woman across from you is none other than Mary, now made stunning for real.

            First of all, Yoho, thank you for that. You are wise and learned and I respect your each and every word.

            I did not change my tune regarding my daughter. I know that she will be judged just as will I, you and every soul – the living and the dead.

            There is very little (if anything) written specifically about lesbianism in The Bible. I really do not know my daughter’s fate but do believe that she can be forgiven of her sins just as can I or you.

            There is much messenger shooting going on here. My compassion is irrelevant. I won’t judge ant souls.

  98. Jarek August 9, 2022 at 9:18 pm #

    Jarek: This comment is a fine primer on how to deal with women in a relationship. The below is what’s called a “shit test” and he handled it perfectly.

    I totally agree. Personally, I don’t get loud unless she persistently disrespects me despite my calm requests to stop. If she keeps it up, my voice gets loud.

    One time, we were in a grocery store. It was my birthday and we were going to my parents’ house for dinner. My girlfriend wanted to bring a cake, but I told her my mom already had one. She completely ignored me, and then took her sweet ass time looking for a cake. And we were running late.

    I said “We’re late for dinner, we don’t need a cake. Let’s go.” She ignored me, kept fussing over which cake to buy. Then, she said she wanted to go to another place because the cakes here weren’t good enough.

    I got loud.

    That’s when this jerk stock boy decides to stick his nose where it doesn’t belong. Comes over and says, “Can I help you?” all in my face like. I said no, my girlfriend tells him she wants to buy a cake. At that point, I said, “F*** it, I’m leaving” and head for the exit.

    My GF comes after me and keeps going on about getting a cake. I loudly say “We already have a f***ing cake!” Then the stock boy comes over again and actually inserts himself between us, but all casual like, just starts facing the shelves between us.

    I said to him, “Are you ret***ed?” (I would not normally censor that word, but YouTube often insta deletes whole comments for including it).

    He just smiled, and we left.

    I have never struck a woman, nor am I even ever tempted to. But sometimes a firm, raised male voice is what’s needed to put a stop to the bullcrap.

    And of course, you have to realize that many women actually LIKE it when their men get angry. They often deliberately goad men into a rage, then sit there and take what follows. It makes them feel alive.

    Jarek: She was perfectly willing to ruin his birthday just to find a cake they didn’t need. All so she could get the thrill of being put in her place. Is it any wonder men get tired of all this?

    • Rhett Dawson August 9, 2022 at 10:08 pm #

      “Darling? We are running late and we do not need a cake. Now get your cute little pie in the car right now.

      • Jarek August 9, 2022 at 10:24 pm #

        Pie is nice, but there are other things. Birthday cake is good too.

        But what men doesn’t want to see a young woman busting over in pulchitrude in a low cut dress eagerly offering him a slice of her apple pie at a county fair?

        Or a German bar maid bending low as she serves you at a beer festival.

      ==========

      LoL, I have been in similar circumstances. My guess is, as a woman she knew she couldn’t show up empty handed even if it meant there would be 2 cakes… had nothing to do with being put in her place.

      • Jarek August 9, 2022 at 10:20 pm #

        Good point I must admit. But still my point if valid in general even if not in this case. One shudders to think of the courses Anthea put her husband through.

        Did he fail by not controlling her? Maybe no one could have. He had done what he was he was intended to do, now it was his time to Go. See the mating habits of the female Black Widow spider.

        • Anthea August 11, 2022 at 11:51 am #

          @ Jarek:

          Actuallly I can top your story. My ex made me late to my father’s funeral by thinking up all kinds of errands he needed to run on the way there.

          It was his habit to be late EVERYWHERE, and not by a little bit, either, but by at least an hour, and often two hours. This included everything from holiday dinners to our daughters’ dance recitals. I was able to get him to the girls’ dance recitals on time, thanks to relentless nagging, which caused him to get all pissy. (Your kids have to get to a dance recital about an hour beforehand, so they can change into their costumes. Apparently, this is beyond the male comprehension.)

          He would also take the family to a movie and discover after we got there that we were too late. (This was back when you had to phone for showtimes. I suggested to him that he might want to check on showtimes ahead of time.) He also liked to take the family out for dinner very late in the evening, when the kids were half starved and it was past their bedtime, and complain because they misbehaved. Sometimes he even angered the restaurant employees by staying far past closing time.

          My mother was still griping about him being late for holiday dinners several years after the divorce.

          Then there were all the times that he said he’d pick up the kids for visitation at 9:00 on Saturday and call at 10:00 to say he would be there at 11:00, and call at 11:00 to say he’d be there at 12:00, and then call at 12:00 to say he couldn’t make it. Meanwhile, the whole morning is wasted on waiting for a guy who never showed up, and the kids, who were expecting an outing of some kind, are disappointed.

          Then there were the times, when we were still married, that he’d tell me on Friday that we were going on a camping trip on Saturday. So I’d spend all day packing the kids clothes and swimsuits, making sandwiches and campfire foods, and loading the car, and he’d tell me on Saturday morning that he couldn’t get away until later. And then call me later and tell me he couldn’t get away until still later–at which point there could be no camping trip. After this happened two or three times, I told him we would be leaving without him, but he was free come along later if he wanted. This was how I wound up taking five kids and a dog on a float trip. (Which was a blast–largely because Dad wasn’t there to ruin things.)

          I could multiply examples, but I think these are sufficient.

          • Anthea August 11, 2022 at 12:11 pm #

            @ Jarek:

            I have of course speculated as the what the ex’s motives might have been. I think chronic lateness is often intended as a deliberate insult: I am more important than you are; my time is more valuable than yours; your needs and wishes are beneath my consideration.

            Also some people simply have no idea about social matters–including various other social obligations. They don’t know that it is implicit in an invitation to a dinner party that they are expected to reciprocate. They don’t know that they should bring a hostess gift. Sometimes these people are women. My daughter once hosted a holiday meal and asked several people to bring side dishes–specific ones, if they did not know what they should bring. So she asked her sister-in-law to bring carrots. The sister-in-law showed up with a bag of raw carrots. Some people have just never been in civilization before.

            Then you have people who are just stupid.

          • Jarek August 11, 2022 at 3:23 pm #

            Sounds like your marriage was one of sub-personalities and sub-polarities. You, dominated by your Anima or inner male, married a man dominated by his Animus or inner woman. Truly a hellish situation. You two were destined for great unhappiness and so it was since these sub-personalities are to be integrated by the person themselves – not dominate the person much be the basis of important outer relationships.

            Of course you hate Men! You are in competition with them for the masculine role. And tragically, you weren’t a Lesbian! Instead your body was drawn to people whom you despised.

          • Anthea August 12, 2022 at 11:29 am #

            @ Anthea:

            Mostly, such marital problems require no deep psychological analysis. Some people are just failures at adulthood. There are many causes of this.

            One is not “in competition” with men for the masculine role. One is forced to assume it because the men in ones life are failures in that role–and somebody has to do it.

            For women, the need to assume a more dominant role is complicated by the fact that this is contrary to custom. Hence, you are in a situation somewhat like Q Schtick’s, in which you have the equivalent of a Peter in your home, and it is both customary and his own belief that he should be the dominant person in the household–the decision-maker. E.g., imagine that Q was expected to be deferential to Peter in all things, and allow him to make all the important decisions in the household–perhaps on the grounds that he was the oldest male in the household.

            In about half of marriages, women find themselves in this position vis-a-vis their husbands: the guy is, at best, a child. He is, at worst, a very destructive and unmanageable child.

            Women–at least the ones who stay married–often have to take control by subterfuge. A favorite is psychological and emotional manipulation. Another option is to simply never tell the guy anything, or even to actively deceive him. For example: one of the kids has been invited to a birthday party. Dad says that they cannot bring a birthday gift to the party because that would be an extravagance. Mom pretends to go along with this but buys a birthday gift anyway. (This actually happened in our household.) Another example: my ex never paid the household utility bills on time. I would discover that he had not paid the electric bill when the guy from the electric company came around to shut us off. So I always kept a check torn from his checkbook (which he didn’t know I had) in my purse for these occasions, so I could write a check to the shut-off guy. Then I would call him up and tell him that I had written a check to avoid a power shut-off, at which point he would throw a fit.

            At the time, I couldn’t figure out why he didn’t pay the bills until we were about to be shut off. He had the money. He could have avoided late fees and the cost of turning the power back on after it was shut off. What was the plan here?

            Eventually I figured out that the plan was to cry poor and tell his dad that the electricity had been shut off, at which point his dad would have paid the bill in full. (The guy was a master at mooching off of his dad, who was well-to-do.)

            Anyway, my point here is that this is why it is a core masculine view that women are deceitful or manipulative. If a man is allowed to have the power in a relationship, these are the only strategies open to you (other than divorce). Otherwise the husband will be continually making damaging or even ruinous decisions–just as Peter would be, if he were in charge of Q’s household and in charge of paying the bills, budgeting, running the family business, cutting the grass, cleaning the gutters, rotating the tires, changing the oil, etc. Someone else in the household would have to quietly, and perhaps by subterfuge, do damage control.

        I would also classify the incident Jarek describes as fairly minor. People do sometimes get OCD about things that don’t make any sense, have memory lapses, show up late, and be disobliging (perhaps unintentionally). Some people just need to be civilized. (“If you throw your wet towel on the floor after you shower, you’re not getting a clean one till laundry day–next week.”)

        You have a right to get pretty damn tired of them when this sort of thing is a pattern over a period of time, especially if they are not amenable to correction.

    I knew Garland was trouble when he started weeping at the podium about the Holocaust. He wants revenge. Gratitude for defeating the enemies of his people in Central Europe? Zero. We’re the Nazis you see. They were White Europeans and so are we. Real simple.

            Don’t get lazy, you’ll end up like Peter. – Blackbird

            =========

            Oh god help me!

            There are so many incidences happening every day… let me tell of just one. Actually it is similar to the fridge door incident where, you may recall, Peter left the door ajar 4 or 5 inches for hours on end.

            The new incident is this: Peter carried a couple of dirty dishes down to the kitchen and placed them near the sink. He turned on the hot water to rinse something, I suppose. He left the water running and returned to the third floor. Wife was dozing in her comfy chair in the living room, I was in my man-cave on the second floor. I came down to the kitchen for something and there was the hot water still running. We estimate for 2 hours. You have no idea how much this pisses me off.

            There are times when the wife and I need to run out on some errand and leave Peter behind in the house. There is no telling what disaster he may unwittingly perpetrate. #1 on my list of fears is that he turns on the gas on the stove and it doesn’t light because it’s tricky the way it works and he is incapable of being schooled on the trick. And so he walks away with the gas filling the room. Hours later wife lights a candle and… KABOOM!!

          • Q. Shtik August 10, 2022 at 3:49 pm #

            Hours later wife lights a candle and… KABOOM!! – Q.

            ==========

            Seriously, we have concluded we can never again leave him alone in the house. Before invoking this new rule we decided to tape notes here and there on full size sheets of paper written with a thick black marking pen… “Peter, DO NOT turn on the stove!!!” “Peter, close fridge door completely”

            Then I suggested to Bo a sign for the bathroom that would read “Peter, DO NOT PISS ON THE FLOOR!!!!!!!” Bo rejected this idea.

            “…you’ll end up like Peter.”

            Since I have much time to do so (no real fully-demanding employment), I work to overcome a slight but growing failure of my mental faculties. I’m 81 so that is no show-stopping surprise.

            Names escape me. Sure, I could dig into Google and fish out what does not surface, even though I can see the face, and know the performance or artwork or political position, but the name does not come through. There were two recently that I focused on bringing to the surface, and I failed with both. (I consider this worth sharing because many of you are rounding the same 7 decades on earth as I’ve glided through.)

            One was Dubya Bush’s Secretary of State, and I reflected on how amusing it must have been (in a fly-on-the-wall sort of way) to see her hammering on the contemptuous, woman-despising Saudis. Tough, apparently humorless black bitch (not my description but one she undoubtedly earned from her counterparts in negotiations). I refused to look up her name on the web. I could see the oil tanker with it emblazoned on the front (without being able to read the name). I visualized her first name as being of four letters and her family name as a fairly long one (ass-backward, right?) I thought the first name started with a “C”. The name almost surfaced but I did not get it.

            Second memory exercise (also a FAIL). The Chicago capo shot in the head while he was preparing sausages on the stove for someone close, whom he had let into his basement apartment. Shared Judith Exner’s private parts with JFK, and may have played a role in the Dallas hit. Various details came up, but no name, until I happened to spot it in the Wikipedia entry for Ms. Exner.

            I am hoping that such rigorous mental exercises will somehow nudge the synapses into refreshing themselves, and not failing further. I have the sensation that you can keep the mind sharp, or at least fight against its degeneration, through workouts – even ones as silly as what I describe above.

            Maybe I was too hard on Condy Rice. She earned her place in the firmament, the hard way. I doubt if I was too hard on Sam Giancana. He earned his shot in the dark.

I do not appear on your list however, despite the clear fact that I had more comments at that time than several other CFN citizens who do appear on your list. And yet somehow I was conveniently placed into the infrequent commenters category. Well I think you know full good and well what you can do with your list. But you know what.

        By the way Q., yesterday Dan Patrick and the boys were kicking around the idea of FBS College Football dividing up into a championship division of 60 teams and a lesser division of 60, with promotion and relegation from one division to the other on the table for the teams on the bubble.

        Dan went straight to your Ruckers Scarlet Knights as an example of a bubble team that could get relegated, but the Danettes were unconvinced and went to work on researching who the #60 team actually would be. Wouldn’t you know it, it turns out it would be the once proud and mighty Nebraska Cornhuskers, who went 3-9 last year and have generally stunk since home town hero Scott Frost returned triumphantly from UCF to coach them 5 years ago.

    ” What former president has ever been harrassed this way? They just can’t let him be. Meanwhile, club member GW gets to paint watercolor books and gets a library. Clinton gets to continue banging – well, whatever he bangs…Obama gets to continue to be to be the belle of the ball. Trump gets raided over some paperwork crap. ”

    — Mr . Mango

    Ah ! Precisely what I have been dwelling on lately !

    That is , this month I have been watching , ” All the Presidents Men ” 15 times over.

    ( actually because I like seeing typewriters, car windows you roll down with a crank , women actually dressing like women , men dressing up , and stuff like that. )

    We now know Bob Woodward ‘s , ” Deepthroat ” was the FBI.

    Why ?

    Because, gosh , burglary is a crime ! ?

    Oh brother !

    Nixon had come to the conclusion that the FBI was a law unto itself.

    If you don’t like Nixon ,

    well , Kennedy had likewise come to the same conclusion, but did nothing.

    Or , if you think some conspiracy was involved in the Kennedy assassination , then maybe Kennedy’s death was more than just a happy coincidence for the FBI ?

    Maybe you don’t like him either?

    Likewise, Truman had concluded that the FBI was a law unto itself .

    But he did nothing either.

    But this time the happy coincidences for once ran against the FBI ,

    Just before Watergate, J Edgar Hoover finally sloughed off this mortal coil and went to Fag Valhalla.

    Nixon smelled blood , and was taking unmistakable steps to de – fang the FBI ,

    at least in relation to the chief executive.

    It’s anyone’s guess , I suppose, whether Truman , Kennedy, and Nixon were concerned about democracy , or concerned about their own hides.

    Anyway , the FBI’s very own Prince of Darkness was dead , and Nixon had his own FBI , at least after a fashion.

    There was trouble behind the curtain in Shangri-la.

    Anyway ,

    I don’t think Watergate was about a burglary,

    it was a power struggle.

    But not a power struggle between —-

    — well, actually I think it is a uniparty plain and simple , so —

    — But not a power struggle within the uniparty with its Republican / Democrat bullshit ,

    But roughly more like in the old Soviet mold , a power struggle between party people and state security people.

      You’re lost.

      Senate Republicans told Nixon to resign or be impeached.

      • KesaAnna August 10, 2022 at 3:28 am #

        Two U.S. Presidents have been impeached , one quite recently .

        Neither one was removed from office , or spent a day in jail .

        You might have been implieing that Nixon resigned , not because he was in any real trouble , but because the government had practically ceased to function , and with a war in progress ?

        But then you didn’t say so.

        If the idea was to defend the United States , instead of merely trying to cut me down , the purpose might easily have been accomplished,

        if you learned how to write.

        • KesaAnna August 10, 2022 at 3:43 am #

          I might add that I can’t say which would be more , or less , productive of stigma ; resignation or impeachment.

          Resignation strikes me as being very like plea bargains , pardon appeals , and the like ;

          It smacks of admission of guilt even if it isn’t.

          In contrast , all this fancy high tech not withstanding, 90% of conviction is still critically dependent on confession.

          Which is to say that if you fight , you may very well lose , but your enemies can never really meaningfully prove you guilty ,

          even if , in point of fact , you are guilty.

          In light of that , you might have been suggesting that in this affair it was Nixon that played the scrupulous paladin of old , honoring the spirit of the Marquis of Queensbury rules , amidst so many utterly ruthless vipers who would baulk at nothing ?

          But you didn’t say that either.

          Once again , ironically, the defense of America fell to its enemy to state.

      • SoftStarLight August 10, 2022 at 4:06 am #

        And how many Senate Republicans told President Trump to allow the election steal or face the entire deathray of the permanent shadow state? Perhaps at scale more people tried to do the right thing for the country back then but its questionable. Since everything from then to now has essentially been the consolidation and growth of the unelected and unaccountable adminstrators and enforcers of the shadow or not so shadow anymore state.

      Your instincts are spot on as usual, Kesa. Russ Baker offers an exhaustively researched alternative version of Watergate that explains things much better than any of the official and other unofficial versions. In short: poor “Tricky Dick” Nixon was duped and it was indeed a palace coup.

        Dis

        Inside the Nixon library is a display of the chronological sequence of the Watergate power struggle.

        Nixon was guilty of trying to cover up the theft of Democrat election info. Remember Creep? They were the ring leaders. He was trying to protect them, but the reason why was he signed off on what they were doing.

        The Burglers were caught red handed. All the cover up power of the WH could not protect Nixon. Simple! And it really was not Forrest Gump.

        Nixon resigned because it was an open and shut situation.

        He had to quit because he was caught. How about all the others before and since? Especially the Obama DOJ and HRC with the DNC in 2016.

        No better place does the corruption of DC stand out more than today. The FBI has been caught with HRC stealing info from Trump in 2016, where is the year long investigation?

        The Left owns the Deep State, period!

        • Disaffected August 10, 2022 at 12:07 pm #

          According to Baker, Nixon didn’t actually know what was going on, but John Dean talked him into the idea that he had approved the operation. Being the top dog and not knowing all the fine details of a whole lot of shit that he had approved (a fairly common occurrence among ALL presidents), Nixon recognized it as something he would have likely approved of, and so got mired deeper and deeper in the coverup, which is what ultimately hung him. If true, it was a masterful deep state operation carried out by former CIA Operatives who had been involved in the Bay of Pigs, among other notable operations. Read Baker’s three chapters above. It’s a fascinating look into the backstory of Poppy Bush, Nixon, and all the skullduggery going on at the time. Nixon was an enemy of all the same elements of the GOP that murdered Kennedy.

    I learned today (from a reputable source) that around 4.6 million inhabitants of the Congressional District benighted by the presence of the aging pile owned by some obscure Trump shell company voted for President Cheeto in 2020.

    Again and again, the judicial bias against Donald Trump becomes so obvious it is sickening.

    Raid at Mar-a-Lago when he is in NY for depositions, great work. NY trying to get him for years with many investigations, no results. The MSM trying to nail him in the press for years, no results. The Deep State trying to nail him in DC for four years, no result.

    He is either the cleverest SOB in history, or

    It is all being made up to get rid of the biggest enemy the Deep State has encountered.

    Trump stands for something, he knows what the Deep State and the globalists are up to and is trying to stop the advance.

    As far as I can see, he is the ONLY public figure doing so. So far, it is amazing what he has done, he is the emotional leader of half of the people of the US, not the GOP, Trump. I do not understand why he does not take his half and tell the two parties to take a hike. But I do know, he is by himself against the onslaught, the power at the state level will not support any group that represents a third party. Trump could win as president, but once he looks around, he will realize it is still,

    Deep State Millions

    Donald Trump and the group he represents. 1.

    You may not like him personally, believing the lies and falsehoods the press and Deep State have invented about him, you may not like the way he handled Covid—

    But if you join the ranks of anti-Trumpers based on the lies of the Left, you need to join the Left and quit pretending you are for the forces supporting patriotic America.

    BTW, if your hope is he gets primaried, dream on, there is not one person that can emotionally swing the Deplorables as Trump does with his rallies. Start working on the Vice President, Pence is toast.

        • cbeard August 11, 2022 at 11:39 am #

          I don’t know which fact trumps the other. How smart Trump is vs how narcissism affects his judgement. I was one who thought that Trump shouldn’t run for office again. I have since changed my mind, due to the fact that the powers that be want him gone so bad that he must be doing something right. Vote him back into office. The mess in America won’t be fixed at the polls anyway. It is too goddamned late for that.

      • Jarek August 10, 2022 at 1:32 pm #

        Black and white thinking isn’t good? Except when it comes to Trump and other people and things you love or hate.

        Women can’t be consistently logical because they can’t see past their loves and hates. See Alba above, “Anecdotes mean nothing.” She called me crazy for saying that to her when she was under control of her passions. So if logic will back her up, she (and you) are quite capable of it. When it won’t, it just seems like nonsense to you.

        • GreenAlba August 10, 2022 at 4:23 pm #

          I didn’t say anecdotes mean nothing according to me. I said ‘anecdotes may mean nothing’ in response to someone saying an anecdote in relation to the coronavirus meant nothing. What I said meant OK, you want to believe anecdotes mean nothing, fine – but there’s a testimony from a Nobel laureate virologist that counts for something even if you want to discount other evidence as an anecdote.

          I hope that’s clear – I know it’s a bit convoluted.

          If you were less keen to jump down my throat all the time, you’d be less likely to misread what I’ve said. I have more sensitivity to nuance in language, I think. You just read the first part of the sentence without thinking about what it means in relation to what it’s responding to and shout ‘gotcha’. It shows desperation.

          • Soul Forensics August 10, 2022 at 7:49 pm #

            GA,

            Your “anecdotes mean nothing” response was to me. To be clear, I either stated (too lazy to go back to look it up) or implied that a single anecdote is insufficient to prove anything. A collection of anecdotes, especially if info from other sources higher in the scientific hierarchy of evidence, can also be marshaled in support of the position, and can have greater weight. But again, it’s context-dependent.

            But the greater point to any of this is that the burden of proof rests squarely on the side (in this case Bob Polecat) of those making the claim. My understanding is that the claim for the existence Covid hasn’t been established, notwithstanding testimony from one virologist.

          • GreenAlba August 10, 2022 at 8:20 pm #

            SF

            It wasn’t just one virologist. As I mentioned, a team of Indian scientists said the same thing very early on, as have others. I read it at the time (it was quickly hushed up and turned into a conspiracy theory). Also, there is my point regarding Dr Chetty. You can listen to him here. He also refers to an engineered virus (which must have been engineered because of the HIV splices).

            worldcouncilforhealth.org/multimedia/uvc-shankara-chetty

            If you can make sense of the biphasic nature of the disease (viral phase, then spike protein sensitivity phase) as described clinically, without there being a virus, I’d be interested in hearing an explanation. I’m not a virologist and it may be that virology itself will turn out to be like alchemy, but in the meantime, while I’ve heard some non-viral toxicity explanations (e.g. from Dr Lee Merritt, who has the advantage of a military background which includes familiarity with DARPA projects), they don’t fit with the biphasic disease description, which is backed up by the successful treatment of the two phases.

          • GreenAlba August 10, 2022 at 8:22 pm #

            Re Dr Merritt, I should have said theories, rather than explanations. I like listening to her as much as to Dr Chetty!

          • Jarek August 11, 2022 at 12:26 pm #

            Alba: Yes, opinion (or a well chosen anecdote perhaps?) from a master of their field is quite different than an ordinary person on tube voicing their opinion on something they know little or nothing about, like say the Black who supposedly helped Churchill with his speech in the movie.

            The best comment from above was the person who said that one true anecdote can disprove a false absolute. Now, that is true. The anecdote obviously isn’t a hypothesis as to what the actual truth may be. But it does help clear the way by harpooning false ones. Get a number of true anecdotes or observations, and then one may be ready to put forth a hypothesis and then to test it. Induction, imagination and logic, leading to a hypothesis, deduction leading to a way to test it, then the experiment itself. The scientific method.

      “Gets primaried?” They’re already hard at work either getting him convicted of something or ruled ineligible for re-election. Even assuming he’s for real, he has no chance whatsoever unless TPTB decide he’s useful for their purposes again, and it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. Elected officials – no matter who they are – are not going to fix anything. Compromise (theirs) and corruption are thoroughly ingrained in the process now. Has been for quite some time.

        They are not going to get him on anything, because there is nothing there. He will make it to the primaries. You keep thinking he the the “boy” of some PTB group. Nah, he is the opponent of the PTB. That is why they, all of them, Dem and GOP, are trying to throw the book at him. If you can come up with someone who is a bigger obstruction to the Left, go for him. I will too. Until then, it is Trump with me. The Deplorables will have to be swayed with real information before they will desert him. So far, post investigation polls show him to have lost none of them.

            If we vote for Trump, it will be because he is the lesser of any number of evils. But as you say, they’ve moved past his level of evil. He would be a step or two back for them at this point. Does that make him a relative good? Yeah, but counter-revolution doesn’t work the same way as revolution. You’re not going to sneak up on evil like you can good. So he’s not of that much good to us either.

            Now that was a good comment, Jar.

            For a genuine reformer to win these days they can’t campaign as a reformer. They can’t possibly be honest about it upfront or they’ll be eliminated before they ever get started.

            A genuine reformer from within would have to operate as a poison pill of sorts, but they’d also have to have a groundswell of support from within the system itself, not just the gen pop. That’s an extremely tough ask, and it also implies someone who is already familiar intimately with how DC works; which is why outsiders traditionally get their asses handed to them when they try to crack the system. Nixon, Carter, and Trump all found that out the hard way.

            You’re blinded by the whole left vs. right dichotomy, JAZ. That’s just a smokescreen for the real divide, which is the ultra wealthy globalists vs. the rest. Money rules the world these days, at least here in the west, and so it’s hard to find any truly selfless people remaining that want to turn the clock back on all the current financialization bullshit. The end of the current western system will require and is now getting help from without in the form of Russia and China banding together to overturn the western Zionist cabal’s applecart. When the leviathan is sufficiently weakened – which is not far off now – legitimate resistance from within will finally stand a chance. The dollar payments system is the only thing holding the whole house of cards together now, and that’s getting weaker by the day due to the “wisdom” of our fearless leaders. They’re desperately shooting nothing but blanks now, as evidenced by the constant barrage of disinformation we’re fed to keep us placated. It’s not working.

      “The power of the overwhelming Presence of the Left is already being exerted favoring the Left this fall. Look at Redneck’s sudden presence. He smells the advance of the Left’s machine.

      Huh? The first sentence requires some parsing…you ascribe ‘overwhelming presence’ to ‘the Left”…what the heck do you even MEAN by that?

      “favouring the Left this fall.” I have to agree with you on that one, but it’s entirely the doing of the right.

      Firstly, the MAGA nutjobs that still trying to convince anyone not wearing that stupid red golf hat (made in Gyina, by the way) that the 2020 election was fixed.

      Secondly, the wonderful “success” of the RWNJs in finally getting Roe v. Wade overturned. Now, many people can see what a huge danger the religious fanatics – the American Taliban, if you will. I wouldn’t be surprised if a whole heap of otherwise MAGA females either won’t vote or will vote Blue to protect their right to choice & adequate healthcare options.

    • Bob Polecat August 10, 2022 at 12:04 pm #

      Good point, Messi.

      I was frustrated last night with trying to get my last post posted with a dying laptop battery, the baseball game on TV and my son on the phone. Alas, I did not explain myself well.

      Many people on CFN “shoot the messenger.” When I speak of God’s upcoming Judgement Day where the vast majority of souls will be justly damned to Hell to suffer for all eternity (alom time), they think that I need to lighten up and have more compassion. Like this is my plan or that it is up to me or something while, of course, I am merely the reporter in this story.

      [BTW – Remember reporters?]

      You are correct – my compassion will help me with my fate on Judgement Day. My point was that my compassion won’t save others – they will each be judged by God and they will need His compassion (not mine) on Judgement Day.

      Each soul must find its own redemption.

      —–

      God could save every soul if He so chose. In fact, I believe that is exactly what He is doing – it is just that most souls require forging for alom time burning in Hell before finally seeing the Light and being saved.

      “There are no atheists in Hell.”

        It is the terminology that gets us sideways.

        Denominations adopt certain terms in their line- drawing-games to lift up their pet doctrines above the pet doctrines of others just like they will purchase a Buick instead of a Chevy. Soon it will be this motor over that engine, so as to look down on their brethren that are saved by grace [ unedited favor ]. I meant unedited there, but I think I will leave it.

        Hell has been colored by Hades thanks to pagans being converted and bringing in scary ideas. Hard to unlearn some stuff.

        Educated in a small town,
        Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town,
        Used to daydream in that small town,
        Another boring romantic that’s me…

        My question: why didn’t he say, “Taught the LOVE of Jesus in a small town”?

        Respect for God & Jesus – I get it. Fear [ dread ] of them I don’t get, at all.

          All or nothing is a feature of the popular Semitic mind. The Muslims believe in eternal hell too for the most part. Some, perhaps many, of the Sufis mystics do not.

          The Greeks were very focused on this world, just like the Jews. They only had hazy concepts of the after-life. Some of them knew more, as did some of the Jews.

          In any case, the fanatical slant won out in Christianity. Christ talked more about hell than any of the prophets. But like you, I assume his words have been mistranslated and thus misunderstood.

      • GreenAlba August 11, 2022 at 7:02 am #

        How does being tortured make souls love God? Would you have loved your dad if he’d tortured you to make you see the error of your ways? And why would it take 1000 years? Why would 60 seconds not do it?

        • Anthea August 11, 2022 at 9:13 pm #

          @ GreenAlba:

          Alan Watts had an interesting take on the torments of hell. His view was that evil or “damned” people experience God’s love as the fires of hell–a burning love that they find unbearable. Now, that’s a little beyond me.

          But, if you think about it, Satan himself hates God and decided to rebel against him, pretty close to the beginning of time. Why do you suppose he hated him?

          As I’ve said before, God is life, love, beauty, creativity–existence itself, being itself. Satan, it seems to me, stands against the Divine will to creation at its very beginnings. If it were up to Satan, God never would have created anything to begin with. To him, nonentity and nonexistence were preferable before the creation, and what with the creation being a fait accompli, his preference is for death, evil, ugliness, and destruction.

          Also, God really is humble, in that he gives himself away to the creation–wholly and without reservation, even to the point of allowing the creature to torture, despise, and kill him.

          Since God is life itself, being itself, to reject God is analogous to being a guy who is dying of thirst within reach of a clear, sparkling, spring–and refuses to drink. The existence of life, love, and beauty is a torment to people who refuse it.

          This is how hell is self-chosen.

          Of course, this raises the question of why anyone would refuse the gifts of life, love, and beauty.

          • GreenAlba August 12, 2022 at 6:42 am #

            ” The existence of life, love, and beauty is a torment to people who refuse it.”

            My late younger brother was full of life, love and generosity. One straight male colleague from the innumerable people who wrote messages on the fundraising site set up after his death and that of his son said ‘I will never meet a more loving and lovable person’. There were heaps of comments saying things like ‘loveliest guy in the office – would do anything for anyone’.

            So, although being Mr Nice Guy that everyone loves doesn’t get you into Heaven, I don’t think it’s true that everyone who doesn’t ‘get’ metaphysics is a a person rejecting life and love. My best friend from school, whose funeral I attended recently following a jab-induced heart attack, was also loved by an immense number of people, who commented on how much better the world would be with more people like her in it.

            They didn’t cut the mustard because, on balance, they weren’t persuaded that the story was true, But although they weren’t saints and didn’t spend their entire life selflessly ministering to the poor, I still cannot get my head around all that love and kindness leading to an eternity of torture. Not to mention that my old school mate was basically murdered, so where’s the justice in that?

          • GreenAlba August 12, 2022 at 6:45 am #

            And you didn’t answer my question, which was how does torturing someone teach them to love you?

            If we are made in the image of God why don’t we torture our children to bring them to their senses?

    I listened to an interview with a historian on time, and she pointed out that researching presidents before 1980 was easier because ALL of their documents were preserved either at the National Archives or in their Presidential Library.
    But starting with Reagan that all stopped. Presidents can now hide their records.

    Someone upthread posted that there was a Records Act passed in the 70s.
    Interesting. Like the other ”reforms” passed in the 70s, it seems that the act was meant to facilitate bad behavior.
    The 70s Congress also tried to “reform” the CIA and “protect” Americans from spying with the FISA Act.
    And yet……

    • Paula D August 10, 2022 at 12:40 pm #

      One time, not on time.
      And I note that even though she testified that presidents since 1980 have gotten away with obfuscation and deceit, (maybe facilitated by that act, I don’t know) somehow Trump can be targeted by the Deep State for supposedly not turning over documents to the National Archives.
      That excuse certainly satisfies Redneck (and by satisfy I mean really satisfies, in a most unseemly way), so I suppose it will satisfy other liberals who care nothing for the Constitution, Bill of Rights or due process, but most thinking people are looking at this raid and thinking “WTF is going on here?”

    On the most public level… what is happening to Trump is all about Trump.

    But this is not all about Trump. Not by a mile. Whether you like the man or not…

    The persecution of this man is about sending a clear message to any other public figure who would dare to go against the wishes of the Dark State Predator Class. And further, this is a shot over the heads of We the People to send that same message: DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING THIS.

    Trump did not need these kinds of headaches. Like any other person of wealth and privilege he could have spent all his days in various pursuits of self-indulgence. But, he also has the big ego that needs to be fed in other ways. So he adopted this persona as a savior figure. And part of him is sincere about that as he views the liquidation of the Nation that made him rich and famous.

    Trump is always going to have 40% of America regardless of what he does. And Trump is not going to have 40% of America regardless if he healed the sick and raised the dead.

    Ten percent of America doesn’t know what to do with him. And the other 10% of America is like Resident Biden… They don’t know who They are.

    Trump and JFK (and RFK) share the background of coming from wealth and privilege but They felt the compulsion to be about something more. We know what happened to two of these men. And we see what is happening right now to the third one.

    Americans are learning that going against Dark State Predators is not the way to live a quiet and peaceful life. But Americans have a choice to make as these ugly days of rage move further along…

    Is it better to be submissive to The Predator Class and live out a full life but one of total submission? Or… do we care enough about anything anymore enough to try to save the kind of lives that are worth living?

    And the answer to those questions can probably be found in the percentages shown above.

    In more dramatic words… The Soul of America is on trial right now.

        Redneck Liberal: “And to put President Clown Show on the same shelf as the Kennedy brothers…you are surely kidding?”

        My comment is not about putting Trump anywhere near the Kennedy shelf in terms of certain character or performance qualities. It’s about how Trump sees Trump… knowing the path The Brothers walked as men of wealth and privilege going into government and believing himself walking the same path.

        The Brothers – like Trump — were quite hated by certain powerful people (and segment of the population) in their time at the high levels of government. This is another way that Trump sees Trump walking that same path. Not just disliked, but truly hated. Hate at that level of intensity did not start with Trump. But how many people (and insiders) now feel about Trump has taken that hatred to a new level.

        • Redneck Liberal August 10, 2022 at 9:57 pm #

    Voting is a waste of time.

    Biden is a POS.

    So is Trump (he let the 1/6ers rot in jail. He never mentioned the shit thrown at them).

    I mean POS to be the other definition, not people of color.

    Is there anyone you know of who’s not a politician that you think might make a good president!

    I thought so.

    If this drought keeps on, the western US is going down the tubes to the point of being almost uninhabitable. Environment always trumps everything else. Even in Boston the landscaping is all wilted.

    The issues people here are mostly interested in don’t matter much when we run out of resources.

    The White Hose (not a typo) is saying inflation is zero. Wait until steak is $20 per oz., gasoline $20 per gallon and so on. If anyone is smart, they ought to stock up on beer, bandaids and bullets before it’s too late. You think crime is bad now, wait until roaming gangs invade the burbs.

    Actually, on further thought, it won’t matter to stock up because some seriously bad and militarily armed groups will come and take everything away from you. If you try to resist them, they’ll kill you and your family without blinking an eye. Preppers will be slaughtered too; it’ll just be a little harder to wipe them out. I’ve read comments from some of these persons in the past and they are truly frightening.

    There will be survivors – the true mentally tough people.
    Eventually things will get better. I know, I’m just an optimist.

    White House Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci was booed Tuesday evening by attendees before a Major League Baseball game between the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees.

    A section of the crowd greeted Fauci by booing him as he threw the ceremonial first pitch at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington. Several attendees can be heard booing in footage taken of the first pitch.

    “You’re going to miss this like you did the pandemic, loser!” one person yelled.

    Fauci was in attendance to receive an honorary Hutch Award given to a figure who “best exemplifies the determined spirit of the late Fred Hutchinson, a pitcher and manager who died of cancer in 1964 at age 45,” according to the Associated Press. He is the second person to receive the award after former President Jimmy Carter did so in 2016, the outlet reported.

    Fauci threw the pitch to the Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais, who then had his masked signed by the doctor, The Associated Press reported. The crowd, although mixed with boos, was mainly filled with cheers, according to the outlet

    Mari Loli – When the Warning Will Come
    From the alleged apparitions at Garabandal, Spain. An interview with one of the seers, Mari Loli Mazón, on May 9th, 1983:

    Mrs. Christine Bocabeille asked Mari Loli: “If you are not allowed to tell me the exact year [of the Warning], perhaps you could tell me approximately when it will happen.”

    Mari Loli: “Yes, it will be at that time when the world will most need it.”

    Christine: “When is that?”

    Mari Loli: “When Russia will unexpectedly and suddenly overrun and overwhelm a great part of the free world. God does not want this to happen so quickly. In any case the Warning will come when you will see that Holy Mass cannot be celebrated freely anymore; then it will be that the world will most need the intervention of God.”*

    *Note: the “fifth seal” in the biblical Timeline is the souls crying out for justice from beneath the altar. This appears to unleash the “sixth seal” — the Warning. See our Timeline and It’s Happening

      Recalling that you’ve had some bear problems of late, Los Alamos is planning a Bear Fest on Fri, Aug 25th, titled “Bears, Bites, and Beers.” Local bears are invited to drink for free.

      A local bear leader said that the bears were all looking forward to the event, and that they would be more than happy to do their part in support of the Bites and Beers portion of the event, with so many tasty humans and beers on offer.

        What kind of bears do you got out there in NM, Dis?

        The bears here — relatively large Black Bears — appear to like bacon. Cook up a slab of bacon on your camp stove, a bear is sure to appear. And before you know it he makes that pound of bacon his own.

        Bear, bites and beers sounds like a pretty good time tho, and a clever promotion.

    Elections are for the appearance of being civil to one another. What makes you think that the US will have another election, when the shenanigans at this point would imply that no excuse to not have one would be necessary. Perhaps it could be decreed as an executive order to balance the budget?

    • JohnAZ August 11, 2022 at 12:55 pm #

      Elections, the vote, prevent civil wars by giving the losing side hope to regain the throne. Typically, the winners get complacent, the losers fired up, and the next election flips. another add on to this is that the dogma of both sides, unchecked, runs the country down a deep hole so balance is required, election to election to maintain balance.

      Oho, one says, what happens when one side gathers too much power and the other gives more power to them, the situation the US faces right now? What happens when the primary concern of the central government is the protection of itself instead of the people.

      The government feels threatened by the people!!!

      It happens when the government loses control of the overall situation. Droughts, pandemics, diminishing resources, global warming etc etc are things the government has no control over. The natives become restless asking the government for answers. There are none.

      So the government tries to protect itself. That is today, right now in this country. Parties at the federal level no longer exist. One man rule is considered (Trump) to answer the problems. That will not work either.

      But, problem solving by committee is worthless. Congress is worthless right now. They do not have a clue what to do. Biden’s Mob has no clue. Trump in 2024 may be a last resort call, he held things together 2016 – 2020, but control may be all he can provide. For the first time, there may be no answers for what is happening. As predicted here many times, the American end times may be approaching.

      IMHO, the Democratic dogma, socialism and do nothing, will never work, never. I watch Biden trying to take credit for any small improvement to anything and he makes me laugh out loud. The man and his retinue do nothing. The Congress does nothing. The entire central government is impotent. Just as JHK predicted long ago.

      If Trump gets elected in a national fit of exasperation, which may happen, he will be the last gasp of any attempt to refloat the sinking ship. If the Dems get elected, just hold on, it will sink rapidly as the Left stands by and watches.

      Elections prevent civil wars, as long as balanced change is allowed to happen and conditions improve. This fourth Turning may prove to be too much to avoid TWMBH. Trumpism fails, IMHO, we are done. Even if Trump is not running the show.

      • JohnAZ August 11, 2022 at 1:01 pm #

        Fit my conjecture onto the scene in 1930, where one man rule, Roosevelt, was put in to solve THE SAME economic problems as right now. His program did not work, it took WW2 to dig out of the hole we were in. Congress was worthless then as was the SC.

        Trump may be the fourth Turning answer this hundred years. Maybe? Hope he finds some answers that work.

So it will be like working for the post office, or most other government jobs.

        This is somewhat understandable, in that government employees know as well as anyone else that they have a bullshit job whose real purpose is to have a paid constituency. Diversity hires know they’re bulletproof. And in general, the reason why diversity hires flatly refuse to do the work assigned is because they CAN’T. If they attempted to do their job it would immediately become clear that they can read or write, or much of anything else. The safest bet is to just refuse to work.

      The IRS hire is a political boondoggle. If California could pull the same shenanigans, they would hire all the homeless off the streets. The Feds have control of the money supply and can “create jobs” at their whim.

      Biden has put socialism’s reputation on the fact that the job market has continued to recover from the damage his lockdowns put on the economy. We have now swung way over to the inflationary side. Excess jobs create inflation, Phillip’s curve. The Fed is about to put the kabosh on Biden’s job claims.

      So the IRS boondoggle is the Biden attempt to offset the Fed, as well as the rest of the Inflation Reduction bill. He is going to hire every worthless person in the DC area and arm them against the people of the US. Maybe he will start hiring the immigrants getting off those buses from Texas and Arizona.

      By November!

    “New details on Monday’s raid of Mar-a-Lago may offer an explanation on what the FBI was looking for and why the FBI has not released the Spygate documents as they were ordered to when President Trump left office.

    Investigative reporter Paul Sperry had his Twitter account taken down for the second time on Monday.

    Sperry had his first Twitter account removed after he identified Eric Ciaramella as the leaker in the first Trump impeachment trial.

    Sperry had his second account takedn down on Monday after he tweeted about the Mar-a-Lago raid and what the FBI was looking for.

    According to Paul Sperry, the FBI agenst spent 9 hours looking for details President Trump took with him on the Crossfire Hurricane FBI spying scandal.

    The FBI and DOJ cannot let the American public know the truth of the their criminal acts and attempted coup of President Trump. So they raided his home looking for the documents that may indict the organization.”

      Surely any important docs that Trump has—legally or illegally— are not kept at Mar-A Lago.

    An interesting read, as usual, Mr. Kunstler, but if Covid was introduced solely to take out Trump as President, that implies development here in the US, more than likely sent to China via Canada. I think it was part of a much broader plan along the lines of Agenda 2030, hence ‘Plandemic’ of the NWO and One World Government.

    The political reality of the UniParty is in full display when the duplicity of Election Fraud was never in question by those in power, with very few exceptions. It does not seem plausible that the incoming Red Wave will have sufficient numbers to impeach Joe Biden should the November elections give the Republican Party control of the House and/or Senate. The leadership in Congress will remain within the UniParty, sadly.

    The Agenda of the Ruling Elite seems to be the elimination of the middle class worldwide. We see this in the Netherlands and in Canada, primarily, with the farmers in revolt. It seems strange to think that by increasing the price of gasoline here in the US and elsewhere, that people who cannot afford gasoline will somehow have the wherewithal to buy an electric vehicle.

    The notion that our fate lies in yet another election to right the previous wrongs is too farfetched. Unless something significant occurs before November, it will be too late. Perhaps the latest fiasco in the raid on Mar-a-Lago will be the straw that broke the camel’s back. The time is NOW against this NWO.

      Agree. And sadly, the Republican Party will likely be incapable of impeaching anyone or holding anyone within government accountable as has been their history of being controlled minority opposition. The only thing that could possibly change the course of things beyond nuclear war or an asteroid strike or something on that level is if millions upon millions of working class and middle class people quit being productive and providing revenue to the system. And that would need to happen yesterday. But the likelihood of that happening is nil so..

      • Woodchuck August 11, 2022 at 2:27 pm #

        We’re unproductive right now. Actual production of needed and vital goods like shoes and clothing etc. is made in Asia, not here. The middle class will return to productivity only after our factories leave Asia and come back home. It took a few decades for us to sell and destroy our factories – and it will take a few decades to get them back. Right now we live on resources sent here from overseas.

        • SoftStarLight August 11, 2022 at 2:34 pm #

          Yep that is very true. I guess what I’m trying to say is that ok, even if you work at Burger King or like you work at some company as an administrative assistant you are paying income taxes into the system. So it’s time for people to just quit working completely and providing any revenue streams into the government. Stop buying as much and paying sales taxes, etc. etc. Look, I realize it’s a non starter because people are not going to unite around such a thing but that was the idea.

          Hate to cast cold water on your post.

          We do not have, as a society, decades of time to recover from what the Deep State and the corporations have allowed to happen.

          The main emphasis now needs to be on how to recover from shortages of resources and the political impact of climate change.

          A proper attitude in DC right now should be;

          What is the US going to look like in 2040 and what is needed to get us to a realistic endpoint then.

          No. 1 Start building nuclear plants now. It will take 20 years to complete with the Lefties messing around.

          No 2 Stop the conversion to EVs. They do not work, economically for the masses. Work on mass transportation, to try and make it as convenient and economical as the car is now. High speed rails to replace part of the airline load is mandatory, not a convenience. EVs will pass on to the wealthy, period. Gas cars will be irrelevant without gas at every corner.

          Here is where my pessimism stems from!

          Changes like this are impossible with the cast of characters in DC. Other countries are passing us doing 60 while we are in reverse thanks to a really dumb government.

        The GOP is as Deep State as the Dems. If they make inroads in the House, so what? The Senate will probably not change.

        Trump’s first two years was a GOP congress and we got nothing, no change. Not only that, GOP suck as politicians compared to the Dems.

        You want to change the way America is right now? You can’t, it is the people who have changed reflected in the idiots they elect to DC.

The Biden family could run Cellblock A, while Cellblock B consists of all the Obama gang. Then we could place Hillary in the isolation cell block. I’d pay money to take a tour of the prison.

            Moved from LA to escape the crowds and the heat and guess what, she found out it is crowded and hot in Idaho. Got away from the real estate idiocy of LA and dropped into Boise, the number one housing price decliner in the States.

            She definitely made the right choice politically however, being in the midst of the Great American Redoubt. She may end up being a captain in the new rebellion.

      Alcatraz really didn’t last that long. The Feds had a pretty sweet thing going there and bang, they close it up. Some of the Soviet Gulags lasted longer than Alcatraz.

      What I find fascinating is up the coast a bit, Alvin Karpas, in Washington State Prison, a key member of Ma Barker’s gang, was a cellie with Charles Manson, and taught Charlie how to play guitar.

      So the Manson family was linked to Ma Barker and her sons.

        My fancy, for some time, has been large cages with transparent but unbreakable glass around them, that can be transported from town square to town square to give everyone a chance of gawping at the ghouls for the rest of their lives. No privacy (so the same lavatorial arrangements as in a standard cell), since they are preparing for none for us. And, since ‘Hell is other people’ and certainly would be if it were one of them, several to a cage. So you might, in your town, in a particular week or month, have Fauci, Tedros and a lesser one, like Rachel Maddow, while another town has Schwab, Sajid Javid and the editor of the Guardian or the head of the BBC.

        And don’t forget regular injections of their own medicines, so they can take their chances like the rest of us and watch each other drop when it’s their time.

        I prefer De-Con. The main trouble with it is the “secondary kill.” If your cat or one of your chickens eats a dead or dying mouse, it may kill them too. So you can’t use it if you have chickens or other fowl. Also, if racoons or possums inhabit your attic or crawl space, you can find that you have a dead critter in a spot that is difficult–or sometimes nearly impossible–to access. (My cats always had better sense than to eat a poisoned mouse.)

      What about the birdman of Alcatraz?

      The Birdmen of the Andes leave their bodies at night and go flying, often all the way to the coast to explore the big cities.

      Read “Star Rover” by Jack London about a prisoner who did the same while locked in a straitjacket in San Quentin or Alcatraz. Based on a true story.

      • BackRowHeckler August 11, 2022 at 3:57 pm #

        J, I’m not familiar with that Jack London story, I’ll have to look it up.

        Upon further research it turns out Alvin Karpas was pretty handy with the Tommy Gun — and employed it frequently. Oddly enough, ‘Creepy’ Karpas died in Spain (of all places) in 1979.

        Back when a gangster was a gangster, and had no problem going toe to toe with the Feds. Of course back in the day you could walk into any gunstore, and if you had the schwag, buy yourself a Tommy Gun or a BAR right off the shelf. Just pay the man and walk out the door with your new baby.

            This was, of course, before his time at Alcatraz.

    To all of you that think that I am totally pro Trump with blinders on.

    I am pro Trump until a better answer comes along, and can beat his appeal head on. So far, no one is challenging him and HAHA, the Pence primary candidates are getting beaten handily.

    To our detriment, I do not believe in MAGA anymore. America is rapidly disappearing now. The reason?

    The quality of the population has declined, all ethnic groups. Blacks, Whites, Latins, Chinese. Education is extremely poor, the teachers are undereducated generation to generation, the government is trying to control the education of kids turning them into good little communists, the importation of ignorant socialistic millions is turning America into a third world country.

    America deserves its fate. MAGA is not going to happen, because the people are incapable. Trump’s inability to produce MAGA is proof.

    World control is about to pass onto others as America is no longer the lit city on the hill for the world. It has just about proven that American style republicanism is obsolete.

    Can Trump even slow it down? I doubt it, but I will back him because the alternatives will kill America even faster.

    And the truths and the MSM lies about Trump?

            I have to admit all this (Dynasty stuff) was a total mystery to me, although I was obviously aware of the Rothschilds and others.

            Was it not you who put me on to UK Column (for which, much thanks; I would not like to be without them now!)?

            I happened upon a talk the other day by Alex Thomson, on the occasion of something else I hadn’t heard of – the Alternative View Conference (this one was pre-covid) – I have booked ‘tickets’ to watch this year’s online in early September. The one I watched was an hour or so on the 13 Bloodlines that rule the world – it was fascinating and Alex is so modestly erudite that I could listen to him for hours.

            There was also a second lecture, at a later date, which was a short of sequel.

            1. Inventors of Evil Things: Exposing those who see the world as their fiefdom and humanity as livestock.

            youtube.com/watch?v=2aaDr6joUdc

            2. An infernal convergence

            youtube.com/watch?v=mtKO13o_HZQ

            I struggled with the list of worldviews of the different cabals based on their Aristotelian or Platonic tendencies and I’ve listened to it twice – might need another viewing or two!

            I was listening to an interview with Dr Lee Merritt the other day and she was talking about the bloodlines as well – I missed so much in my first 69 years. 🙂
            Her interview started with the flu, especially the 1918 flu (if that’s what it was). Apparently the flu didn’t become seasonal until 1850. It was named ‘influenza’, as short for ‘influenza del sole’ – influence of the sun. Since ancient times it would arrive unannounced, wreak havoc among populations, then disappear for years or even decades. Until 1850 ..

He and the rest of the team at UKC have done a huge amount of work researching child abuse networks all over the UK.

    As has so often been the case, it all comes back to the line about killing someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and not losing support: all this talk about how the FBI handed Trump the election at Mar-a-Lago, and all the manufactured outrage that he’s being subpoenaed or served warrants or investigated at all, all the suggestions that this just makes the Dems look vengeful and abusive – ignore all that. Because the genius of the Trump cult and its Fake News conspiracy madness is that it begins with the assumption that he is always right and good, and any and all suggestions to the contrary are malicious lies. So, it doesn’t ultimately matter if they were “only” trying to get back documents he stole from the federal government, because the outrage would actually be even greater if the crime were greater. If he shot someone on 5th Ave and were charged with murder, they would say he was standing his ground and his arrest was a treasonous attack on the Constitution and Trump’s 2nd Amendment rights. In a world where he’s always innocent and evidence doesn’t matter, the bigger his alleged crime, the bigger the lie and the conspiracy. It’s all fake news to them.
    The only question right now is: will any of these myriad investigations convince McConnell, McCarthy, and other key GOP legislators to support forbidding him from running. I think the sooner any of them are able to bring credible charges, the more likely that is — preferably before he announces his candidacy in the next few weeks. But I’m not holding my breath. So, otherwise, they should continue every investigation and, before or after he announces. once they have a winning case for prosecution, they should move ahead, politics be damned. Most Republicans will say it was political no matter what the evidence. That’s no reason to cede the rule of law to their sick cult.

    Federal board investigating Alexander Graham Bell’s ‘controversial beliefs’

    Alexander Graham Bell is being investigated posthumously for his “controversial beliefs,” according to records, Blacklock’s Reporter reported.

    A federal board is reviewing posthumous honours for Bell under a broad category of “controversial beliefs and behaviour.” It defined the reference as “views, actions and activities condemned by today’s society.”

    Bell died a hundred years ago. Certain Canadian landmarks like the Halifax Citadel and Crowsnest Pass are also up for review because of potential ties to “colonialism, patriarchy and racism,” according to the report.

    Bell’s Brantford, Ont. homestead was designated a national historic site in 1934. A park near his Baddeck, N.S. summer home was designated in 1959 and Bell himself in 1977 was honoured as a “national historic person.” The Commons as late as 2002 unanimously passed a motion sponsored by then-Liberal MP Sheila Copps (Hamilton East, Ont.) that celebrated Bell as inventor of the telephone, Blacklock’s said.

    The Monuments Board did not explain what “controversial beliefs” Bell held. The inventor in an 1883 essay Memoir Upon Formation Of A Deaf Variety Of The Human Race opposed marriage between deaf couples. He also opposed sign language and encouraged the deaf to assimilate by reading lips. Both Bell’s mother and wife were hearing impaired.

    Blacklock’s said numerous landmarks are under review for “colonial assumptions.” The board explained the reference was to designations “from an overly European perspective” including the Halifax Citadel, Crowsnest Pass, Alberta’s Bar U Ranch, Ontario’s Algonquin Provincial Park and a 1924 designation marking “discovery of Prince Edward Island.”

    —–

    “Please save us from old, wrong thoughts!”

    Maybe we should have to go all-in. If we remove all honour from Alexander Graham Bell for his no-longer-acceptable beliefs, we also have to burn all of our telephones like when John said that The Beatles were bigger than Jesus.

      It’s going to have to happen to more doctors before they start to ask themselves if it’s worth lying to themselves to keep their jobs.

      So far the people I know – or those related to them – who’ve died from the vaxxes were over 65. I’m dreading hearing of the first one of my daughters’ or my nieces’/nephews’ generation. But there will be no denying it after that, for any of them.

        I am less sure, Ms Alba. Mass psychosis is a powerful delusion.

    Well, the war in Ukraine is spreading, folks. Today a Russian Airbase in Crimea was taken out with missiles fired by the Ukrainian Army — but provided by the USA. Yesterday an active nuclear power plant inside Ukraine, but controlled by the Russia Army, was hit with rocket artillery. This is getting out of control and there is no telling where its going.

        Rockets are slamming into nuke power plants — Bedpan Biden is on vacation with his degenerate son Hunter. Incidentally, the mansion he’s staying in is right on the waterfront, more evidence that ‘Seal Level Rise’ is a hoax.

    How many years must an alcoholic go without a sip of alcohol before people finally stop calling him/her a “drunk”?

    I mean, I am sober each and every day. It’s not like being an old dried-up, childless spinster in the sense that I have gotten better.

    • beantownbill. August 11, 2022 at 10:46 pm #

      Well, there’s a difference being a drunk and being an alcoholic. I guess a drunk is someone actually drinking alcohol, while an alcoholic is someone with an addiction and not necessarily using. So all drunks are alcoholics, but not all alcoholics are drunks. But alcoholics have some behavioral issues – some are dry drunks.

      • Bob Polecat August 11, 2022 at 11:23 pm #

        Thanks, Bill. I agree. I have not had a sip of alcohol since April 2020. I am an alcoholic but I am no longer a drunk.

      Well, after you’ve destroyed your family because of the alcoholism, but now think that you can just go on your merry way and condescend to others, you’re pretty much still the lowest of the low (because of the lack of any shred of self-awareness, remorse, etc.). Especially when now you see yourself as the victim, which is so common.

      Stopping drinking doesn’t fix what you did or the underlying mental and emotional dysfunction that caused the drinking.

      Some people stop drinking and they’re just as bad or worse, kinda like you.

    I read Postman’s ‘Amusing Ourselves to Death’, and in the revised edition he wrote about how it seemed America had ‘1984’ and “Brave New World” as their dual dystopian playbooks to use.

    1984 was incredible, but I barely remember reading BNW. However, I understood Postman’s book, as I’ve been living through it since the 80’s, the material worship, greed is good, numb the pain, etc.  Just such a banal saturation of distraction and semi-interest, what a co-worker once wrote on our elevator door, “this is a soft hell’.

    I reread 1984 when Trump got elected and that book had such an impact on me…why Mass Formation makes such sense.  Reading it again was like a boot in the face, a visceral tangible thing to ingest into one’s psyche.That dread of having to censor yourself, being in a prison of your own mind just seems like the worst thing.  Orwell’s book cut through all the programming.

    I read 1984 again because Trump was such an arrogant douchebag to run the country, funny though how now he just seemed in the way for the real authoritarian donkey punch, aka the Demonic-cratic party, WEF, et al.

    The red pill effect really kicked in for me a year ago, listening and reading to JHK and Chris Martenson when they started to catch on and catch up, prescient sages I thank for the years I’ve followed their work.  They’ve led me to many others now of course, and the entire ‘conspiracy’ world has been matrixed into my neuronal network. 

    I can’t stop thinking about it all, I am obsessed..and like David Collum feels, ‘It is debilitating.’

    • Bob Polecat August 11, 2022 at 10:19 pm #

      Thanks for sharing your journey. We all come to the truth at our own time and in our own way.

      I first read Orwell’s ‘Nineteen Eighty-four’ in 1984. I read it again in the summer of 2004 as Dubya/Cheney geared up for re-election.

      Bush v Kerry. Skull & Bones v Skull & Bones.

      In 2002, I had further “awoken” to how our world is really ran by reading Michael Ruppert’s [RIP] research and analysis of That Tuesday in Sept. 2001.

      It was startling how much I, the world and technology changed in those 20 years between readings. What seemed unlikely to the point of impossible in 1984, seemed inevitable in 2004.

      Here we are.

        9.11…I was living just across the East River in a downtown Brooklyn loft building.

        That day though, I drove across the bridge before sunrise and picked up a production crew en route to Princeton NJ.  I saw the 2nd tower fall live on a tv in a hotel lobby. 

        My girlfriend called me from our apt…She said, ‘it’s gone, the building is gone’.
        I said, “Where did it go?”

        I swear I thought, is it David Copperfield at work, I will never forget thinking about it visually in that moment, because I had spent time staring up at them and imagining them falling like a tree, what would that look like.

        By the way, my girlfriend was an amateur photographer and she took pictures of the 2nd plane hitting and resultant smoke and fire ending.

        I remember smelling that acrid smell from the hole for days and being angry.

        But then reality settled back in, and I recall WMD’s being the goofiest of outcomes from their whole push toward whatever.  Also, I’d bring up 9/11 ‘conspiracy’ thoughts for years afterwards to my fellow NYers but few were ever interested.

        In ’07 I was back home in the midwest subbing a history high school class and I put my (ex) girlfriend’s pics on a disc to show to them.  I told them my experience and hers and no one asked a question.

        I met a guy though who was working in a top floor but was off that day…he told me he was obsessed with skyscrapers now.
        Jet fuel….box cutters…controlled demolitions..no more trust.

        Thanks for your response.

          Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth figured out most of the details long ago.

          The towers were destroyed internally. The smoking gun is the fact that all 3 fell either at or extremely close to freefall speed, and the only way that happens is if all supporting material is pulverized.

          9/11 is the gaping wound in the national psyche; most know they were lied to on a subconscious level, but are simply too weak to face it.

        It seems like the Mar-a-Lago raid comprises a violation of the 4th amendment. But, President Trump is demanding the immediate public release of the warrant and all. I don’t really understand what’s happening but something is very odd about all of this. WaPo i think was saying that there were nuclear secrets there but then a minute ago it looks like the verbiage was changed to documents labled special access. It’s difficult to believe them at all anyway so i won’t. It should be a very interesting August.

    “The pharma companies will go out of business and their profits will be clawed back in countless lawsuits. The drug company executives will go to prison along with Rochelle Walensky, Anthony Fauci, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, and many of their lieutenants.”

    Wishful thinking. If anybody thinks a “new administration” is going to fix this, you have not been paying attention. How many times has the baton been switched back and forth between this two headed monster? And nothing changes.

    We won’t get a change in leadership until WE change.
