The restless public, cooped up and idled in springtime’s flowering, have watched Wall Street doing just fine while they see the approaching sunset of their own much more modest Paycheck Protection Program and coronavirus relief checks. Late last week, the Dow Jones shot up 455 points the same day that the government announced the worst unemployment numbers since the lows of the Great Depression. Are there two economies in this country? One for people who expect to work for pay, and another for bankers who play shady games with money and receive extravagant bailouts when their games don’t pan out?

Kind of looks like it, a little bit. That tangled pile of cognitive dissonance is liable to catch fire soon like an overactive compost heap as the promised opening-up of America commences and tens of millions of able adults discover that their old jobs, vocations (and paychecks!) will never re-open, not to mention health care plans and pensions. God help us if the stock markets are still chugging up when that recognition sweeps the land.

And why won’t the markets keep chugging if the Federal Reserve keeps stuffing bales of dollars into Wall Street’s boilers? Jay Powell and his crew of monomaniacs apparently believe that bolstering the indexes is the sole signifier of a healthy system, and they’ve turned early adapters to Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), the idea that government can print as much money as it feels like to keep the wheels of activity turning (or, at least, the appearance of activity). In just two months, they’ve churned out trillions, equal to the first two hundred-plus years of the USA’s national debt ­— and, of course, new money is new debt because under our currency regime money is loaned into existence.

Well, one reason the markets may not keep chugging is that money is disappearing into the ol’ black hole of extinction even faster than the Fed can enter keystrokes that magically represent new money. The reason: if, in fact, money is loaned into existence, it is defaulted out of existence when the loans are not paid back. After all, that’s what a loan is: money advanced on a promise to be paid back, generally at interest, interest representing the time-value of money, that is, the duration of the loan. Do you have any idea how many loans are not being paid back, and may now never be paid back?

Start with houses. 63 percent of homeowners pay a mortgage (a loan) every month. The national average outstanding mortgage debt is $148,000. Total mortgage debt is $10.3 trillion. Now cars: There are roughly 260 million passenger vehicles registered in America, with upward of 100 million of them bought on loans that are still active, amounting to $1.2 trillion, enough to buy 53 million Ford Fusions at $23,000 each. Now credit card debt: total for the US is $3.9 trillion with an average carried balance of $9,333. Meanwhile, 45 percent of adult Americans have no savings.

As Senator Everett Dirksen (R-Ill) once quipped during a senate budget battle, “A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon, you’re talking real money.” Consider that a trillion is a thousand billion (and a billion is a thousand million). In an ordinary reality, a reality-based reality, that is, with reality-based money, that would be a lot of money (and a lot of debt)! It’s hard to project an exact figure, but with over 20 percent of the US work-force idle, with no income, there’s liable to be a lot of debt that’s not being paid back, will never be paid back, and a lot of money headed into extinction. That will translate into a lot of people with no money. Until all that money they owed is finished not being paid back, and the new money that the Fed is busy creating, with no relationship to the production of things of value, overcomes the old money that’s finished disappearing. Then Americans will have plenty of money. The catch is that the money will be worthless. Thus, the two ways of going broke: having no money; or having lots of money that’s too worthless to buy anything. So it goes.

Along with people’s hopes and dreams of a decent life. What you see, then, is a nation, and a system, that has come to be based on broken promises. That’s what the restless public will take away from this morass of statistics. The discord will rapidly leave the statistical frame and take hold in the emotional frame, and that frame will feature entirely negative emotion: rage, resentment, grievance, vengeance, feelings like that. The sum of all broken promises is a broken social contract. That’s the agreement that we will behave civilly in exchange for the liberty to go about our business — within clearly defined rules (laws) about what is legitimate business. A broken social contract is exactly what all these machinations are leading up to. Hence, the appearances of the state — the system and the people who run it — become more and more fantastically and transparently dishonest.

For instance, the fake candidacy of Joe Biden, a man too far gone in age and mind to be president, with a long slime-trail of family money-grubbing in and around his official offices, and now an old sexual molestation charge against him. Who do the Democrats think they’re kidding with this? The coronavirus gave them an excuse to stuff Joe in a closet for two months, but can they keep hiding him there after the grand opening-up?

Will Wall Street and its errand boys in the Federal Reserve keep working their shifty hoodoo, enriching shareholders, hedge funders, and corporate execs while everybody else hits the red-line of hunger and outrage? Will Mr. Trump do what he suggested way back on the campaign trail in 2016 and declare a national bankruptcy? There is, after all, a difference between bankruptcy and national insurrection. Bankruptcy, at least, holds the promise of a work-out. Financial work-outs are generally painful, but orderly. That could make all the difference.

      Never fear, Trump is here.

      What can possibly go wrong?

      • Bytes May 15, 2020 at 9:58 am #

        What could go wrong is the election of a clearly rapidly declining Biden. A known grifting mentally deficient deep state flunky.

    No, Trump will not declare a national bankruptcy.

    • ejhr May 12, 2020 at 9:40 am #

      Money is not, repeat NOT, repeat again! NOT loaned into existence. It is created by deficit spending by monetary sovereign governments. Banks create CREDIT and it too is NOT loaned into existence. Credit is offered by banks who can use money to give it form, but it’s a liability.
      Sovereign money is a gift. It cannot be paid back. “Thin air” is not a bank account. Not a cent of taxpayer money gets spent to pay down federal debts. So whatever the cost, the Fed can pay up.

      The Fed, a] can never go bankrupt, b] can always create currency as long as resources are sufficient to sell to the government. The Federal government is not in trouble. It’s the punters who have loaded up on Mortgages beyond their ability to repay.

    It seems to make sense but will it happen? Trumps dark miasma of ignorance is ignored. More Americans are going to die of covie than were lost in WWII by the time the election comes around. But Trump could get re-elected in spite of it.

    I look at inadequate men standing masked with guns as big as they are on state capital steps. If these cowards were black they would be getting the shit kicked out of them or worse but, instead patriotic music pours from TV speakers in our land of white privilege ignorance and conservative billionaire propaganda.

    Practice voting for someone else. You can do it on my website. It is in demo mode for now. Our nation’s future depends on it.

      “I look at inadequate men standing masked with guns as big as they are on state capital steps. If these cowards were black they would be getting the shit kicked out of them or worse but, instead patriotic music pours from TV speakers in our land of white privilege ignorance and conservative billionaire propaganda.”

      If they were black Americans, they would be just as secure in their rights to bear arms as white Americans. I can’t think of a constituency more in need of 2nd amendment protections. If I were black and listening to the non-stop propaganda coming out of the left, I would own several.

      How can the democrats decry white supremacy and racism on the one hand, and vow to take away their guns on the other.

      Wake up black people. The democrats are not your friends.

      • woe May 11, 2020 at 1:32 pm #

        There are some of us blacks that see what’s going on and see we are being set up. The shooting in Georgia (that’s two months old) conveniently timed to scare blacks into voting for the democratic party. I’m not taking the bait. They want everyone hysterical. The destruction of the food supply worries me more. They are going to try to take the black people guns first. This pandemic doesn’t make sense, how you know those coronavirus cases are legit with no accurate testing. They had a president in Africa that swabbed a goat, a piece of fruit, and some motor oil, all the swabs came back positive. He kicked the WHO out of the country.

        • Rain Waters May 11, 2020 at 2:23 pm #

          Theres no such thing. That African leader was doing his job.

        • sophia May 11, 2020 at 9:10 pm #

          Woe,

          So good to hear. I implore all Americans to realize that we are all being set up to fight and fear one another – black and white, man and woman, white collar and blue collar. The list goes on. Divide and conquer.
          I think blacks are already waking up, and have been for some time. Hurry!

          • woe May 12, 2020 at 1:47 am #

            I was a lifelong democrat. I started questioning that choice when I listened to a podcast about the 2008 financial crisis. Black people had the highest rate of home ownership in the history of this country when Obama became president. Instead of saving the home owners, white, black, whoever, they let them lose their homes so the bankers could get their bonuses, rent the home back to them at inflated prices. For some of those people, they were the first homeowners in their families, it was a big deal, you were showing your children what hard work and saving could do. Then they got laid off through no fault of their own and lost something that they didn’t even think was possible to have because of some “financial Crisis” that they didn’t create, but they had to pay for. Then I worked as a nurse in corrections, you want to see the real truth of America, go work in a prison. I worked in two prisons that were 85-90% white women, more than half of those needed to be in a drug rehab, not a prison. I thought white women in a large way didn’t go to prison, it was a shock. I saw the opioid/meth/heroin epidemic up close and personal. Everybody is in prison, the upper class, the scions of society, doctors, nurses, teachers, even police officers, trust fund babies. I never knew this was going on, never saw this on TV or anywhere else. That made me start to wonder what else they are not telling us. This country is building a gulag system to put all of us in. The racial tension is created to put a charge on a person so they can get locked up, white and black, you’re marked for life, can’t get a good job, so you go back to what you know, because you have to feed your family. Then you are right back in prison again, it’s just another racket, most of these people aren’t violent, they are just cash cows for the prison industrial complex.

          • Janos Skorenzy May 12, 2020 at 1:01 pm #

            Woe to you. Many Blacks and HIspanics were given housing loans they could never pay back, and quite obviously, never intended to pay back. Towards the end of his second term, Obama starting talking about a program to help minorities get homes – the very thing that was the catalyst to crash the economy in the first place.

            Racial tension is natural. Yes, they weaponize to help Blacks keep Whites down, but it would be there in any case. Similarly, the energy or “potential” between men and women. Weaponized so it is experienced mostly as tension and hatred, to help women keep White Men down.

            Whites are the most demonized by the Elite since they are the greatest threat to them – and of course, those who have been so deeply wronged in the immediate past. Blacks do have a just claim – one which they will never stop using to justify their incompetence.

        • libertysghost May 14, 2020 at 7:06 pm #

          Well you have to wonder if that isn’t just one more reason the “globalists” are once again reacting so brazenly from a point of weakness. It’s odd to me more people don’t see this. They see these “lockdowns’ in the blue states (Dem leaders are the remaining globalist infiltration in American politic primarily…of course you have some old guard GOPers still there but they’re muted in power) and their mockingbird mouthpieces in their PR “legacy media” saying such bat-shit crazy panic mongering manifestations as some extension of their growing power over time…that this is what they have been planning forever!

          When in reality these moves reek of desperation. If they still controlled the “narrative” Trump doesn’t win in 2016…and many other “seats” aren’t occupied by the people who won them right now. If they still controlled the narrative there is no need to “censor” so egregiously and dangerously as they are doing now…and no reason to “lockdown” basically pulling the “kill switch” attempting some grand suicide pact they forgot to tell everyone else existed.

          There would be no need…because people would already be compliant and they would hold all the power already.

          But they don’t.

          And “woe”…I know you are not alone in your “community” and we should all guess that is just one more reason for the desperation of the globalists we are witnessing. JHK describes many others almost weekly as well.

          Because the “MSM” is telling us we are losing so badly every day…we know we aren’t. 😉 When Obama was elected they gladly told us how we all “won”…which of course meant we didn’t. There are no incentives for power to remind us when they lose or we win.

      • Cargill May 11, 2020 at 2:57 pm #

        If they were black Americans, they would be just as secure in their rights to bear arms as white Americans.

        LOL That’s hysterically funny.

        If they were black dudes there on the capitol steps demanding … well, whatever the pathetic honkies were demanding the other day ,,, the right to die painfully, I think … then state coppers or guardsmen or someone would take em out quick smart, eith extreme prejudice.

        That’s how justice works under the stars & stripes. But thankfully people of colour are far too smart and cool to go in for such pathetic stunts in the first place. 🙂

          Are you seriously calling African-Americans “colored”? You really are an anachronism and a racist.

            People of color is how people of color refer to themselves my foolish fool. Except the black rappers of course, they refer to themselves as nig**s. They’re really about the only ones who do these days. You want to experience racism, check out a black venue of just about anything.

      Trump is a real estate developer. Obama was a social worker. Bush was a baseball team owner. Clinton was a politician only. Bush 1was a spook. Reagan was an actor and union leader.

      You are looking for someone that has experience to pull us out of the mess we are in. None of these folks that turned into politicians fill the bill.

      Maybe the problem is that all the problems we are facing today are far to big for a single person, maybe a single government to overcome.

      I even have a reason why. The government, thanks to the Deep State phenomenon is itself circling its wagons to preserve It’s own power base and financial base. The government represents itself now not the people of the US. DC should be its own country, it is not acting like part of the US.

      Think of the Constitution, preventing power build up by separation of powers. Maybe we need to bust up this lousy federal government into smaller pieces that will have to compete with each other. The government today is a monopoly, replete with all the trappings of monopoly, financial stupidity, apathy, bureaucratic inertia, non-responsiveness and protectiveness for its own power.

      Assuming that this is a problem, does it make sense to vote for a person that has used every one of these attributes to get himself and his family ahead using the power of the position he was in. The entire Deep State is comprised of people just like Biden, concentrating on beating Trump who is the only real threat they have felt in a long time.

      Unless you believe in the Dem credo, that the people need to be led by the government, and the government is smart people like the Dem party, a vote for the Dem candidate is wrong. And do not be hoodwinked by the RINO group that also believe in government, thus their control of the people.

      That is the credo we fought against 80 years ago, government control of populations. It is the credo that 50% of our population fights against today. Unfortunately, due to two things, the brainwashing of two generations of kids onto socialistic dogma, and the introduction of millions of new folks that do not have a clue about non-socialism forms of control, we are at the demographic threshold of capitulation to socialism. The US is the reflection of its people so the conversion to socialism may be what should be happening. The people in the former 50% are going to regret the loss of freedom they will experience. Way too late, the latter 50% will rue the days they voted these socialist dogs into office and they will find that liberty is not free and cannot be bought for freebies.

      I think the US will split apart as long as the wedges continue to be driven in between the US people by the federal government.

          Forgive the redaction. Propriety is a harsh mistress – oft too harsh and needing to be put in her place. As H Rider Haggard’s Black Tribesmen said in “She”, We worship women but every few generations we kill most of them just to remind them we are stronger.

            As he hated uppity N’s with a passion. Yet on his deathbed, surrounded by his relatives and slaves, he said, “I will see you all, Black and White, in heaven”. (approximate quote)

            More, he hated the nascent New World Order, already stirring, with a passion calling them vipers and vowing by the Eternal God to rout them out.

        Not socialism but fascism is the term you should have used,for that’s what we already have, as business and the bankers control the country and all its branch’s.Socialism is for the people fascism is for the 1%,every country every government has a social contract with its people, and when that social system is destroyed so is the country.

        As old Bob Dole “one of the finer republicans stated” said the American people are like a flock of sheep they have be led,and of courser one of his finer quotes was about Joe six pack, GIVE THEM A SIX PACK AND A GAME AND THEY ARE HAPPY.AND THUS IT IS.!!!!

        Way too late, the latter 50% will rue the days they voted these socialist dogs into office and they will find that liberty is not free and cannot be bought for freebies.

        When will the far right – instead of jumping at “socialist” shadows – start to understand where the real causes of enslavement, misery, and poverty lie?

        For the vast majority of Americans, “freedom” isn’t under threat from socialism – the country (including Democrats) is a million miles from anything remotely like social democracy, let alone socialism. It’s a nonsense meme … ludicrous.

        No – the real enemy is the 1% – or let’s say 10% – the concentration of almost all surplus value (the wealth created by labour) in the hands of entrenched elites and major corporations.

        JHK has talked for years about the destruction of Main Street, the obscene growth of Wall Street, and the shipping of US manufacturing to low-cost countries. And none of this happened in a vacuum – Republican legislatures and presidents aided and abetted it even more than Democrats did.

        The Walton Family, the Koch Brothers, CocaCola, McDonald’s, Goldman Sachs, Jeff Bezos … these are the enemies of “the people” … much better to think clearly than suck up the alt-right Kool Aid who wish to demonise the likes of AOC.

        Genuine freedom is freedom from economic oppression.

      I wonder whether a national bankruptcy will leave out the people with student loan debt?
      I’ve been talking to quite a number of these people, and the lines about them knowing what they were doing when they signed for these loans, and they took foolish courses that didn’t prepare them for the job market just don’t match up with reality.

      Joe Biden was instrumental in exempting student loan recipients from bankruptcy protection, but as in every action by government that screws over working middle class Americans, it was bipartisan.

    I’m reading a beautiful old Israel Joseph Singer book, “The Brothers Ashkenazi.” One young idealistic man tries to lead a rebellion against the capitalist swine, while his old rebbe father just shakes his head. Eventually after the pogroms start, the young man returns to his father, who just sighs and says, “My boy, it always ends with violence against the Jews.” I hate to say it (since I’m a mischling and would be toast) but it would have helped quell the anti-semites a bit if so many of our current malefactors weren’t members of the Tribe. Even Ivan Boesky and the “hard sellers” of the Predators Ball knew they had to dial it back when someone had the bright idea to celebrate his daughter’s Bat Mitzvah by having her arrive on the Queen Elizabeth II via helicopters in the middle of the Junk Bond scandal. “People go to the gas chambers for this, you dummy,” as one character said in James Stewarts’ “Den of Thieves.” Someone will probably pay and it’s more likely to be some lowly Hasidim in Flatbush than some horse-faced Boston Brahman wearing a Polo shirt and sipping Merlot in the Hamptons. You don’t need a “right of return” contingency plan when people don’t see you hiding behind the curtain.

      Todays’ stories only celebrate capitalist swine. The time covered by The Brothers Ashkenazi is from about 1880 to the end of WWI. A time before Jewish Europeans went the way of T-Rex and a hundred years before the American consumer also will go extinct.

      No gas chambers, everybody just starves and does each other in this time.

See that’s possible if you are at the highest levels of both Communism and Capitalism, the latter controlling the former for the most part. It does get away from them sometimes though: while the Tribe was squabbling about who was going to take over from Lenin, the Wolf of the Steppes (Stalin) took over.

    The FED is trying its best to beat deflation. There’s a shortage of $USD (hint: $USD is going much higher) and the money velocity is on the floor and sinking. We’re going to have a further 50% haircut from current levels in the equities. US interest rates will go below zero, and the FED will beat deflation to again bring equity prices to current levels (SPX~3000). The FED will beat deflation but we’ll get stagflation, and down again we will go to even lower lows. Equities are the most expensive they’ve been, EVER.

    “Regarding that R.R. Reno piece about the Corona Virus Reality Check, I was saying that in February. I quote myself commenting to a coworker at the time; “when healthy 25-year olds start dropping dead in the street, give me a call.” That never happened, and it won’t. As I’ve been saying on these pages and elsewhere for weeks, nay months, apparently addressing a stone wall; this virus is not a threat to the young and relatively healthy;i.e. the vast majority of people. That much was clear from the initial data coming out of China. It was confirmed by the data from Italy. It was proven out by the data from around the globe.

    There is not now and there never was a basis for shuttering the global economy. I knew that weeks ago and I’m just some guy on the street who can read. Why did I know it and our supposed experts didn’t?”

      Why the hysterical response to covid19 is a mystery to me. But the results of this overreaction will effect a lot of people. Because hospitals were told to stop all but emergency surgeries, most are pretty much empty and some rural hospitals that were hanging on will be broke then shuttered. One statistic that you don’t hear on the news is that 43,000 hospital workers are now unemployed. The virus is real just as TB, polio, measles, etc are real but it’s not the Spanish flu of 1918 by a long shot.

      For a dose of common sense (and why this man has not been listened to I don’t understand) here’s an article by Dr. John Lee:

      https://spectator.us/ten-reasons-end-lockdown-now/

      “In an ordinary reality, a reality-based reality, that is, with reality-based money, that would be a lot of money (and a lot of debt)! It’s hard to project an exact figure, but with over 20 percent of the US work-force idle, with no income, there’s liable to be a lot of debt that’s not being paid back, will never be paid back, and a lot of money headed into extinction. That will translate into a lot of people with no money.”

      What reality was that?! To get a lot closer to what the actual value of a dollar is we can all do this — even for a month — pay for everything in cash. Food, clothing, medicine — don’t use a debit card or credit card and see how much harder it is to hand someone $100 for stuff rather than just put your PIN number in. We’ve all been hypnotized with the ease it takes to buy everything.

      • Beryl of Oyl May 11, 2020 at 11:40 am #

        A lot of Americans have been coerced into using electronic (traceable) payments for online (traceable) shopping. Thhat’s what the shutdown is for.
        Notice that we’ve been told for some time that retail stores are in trouble because we no longer want to shop in “bricks and mortar” stores?
        When you hear the same phrase over and over, that’s the clue you are being brainwashed, but it still amazes me that people will repeat that stuff without stopping to examine it.
        It is demonstrably false that we don’t want to go see, handle, try on and buy, in things called stores, and pay in cash.
        Notice also, which businesses were deemed “essential” and allowed to stay open. Chinamart being one of the most noticeable.
        Crowds can go to the local Lowes or Home Depot, and yes, the bathrooms are open. But a church? Ours cannot open “early” (New York), because they would not be allowed to use the bathrooms except in emergencies ( how is that determined) and each time one person uses the toilet, the entire bathroom has to be cleaned.
        Yes, the Attorney General of the United States knows this is going on, but he can’t intervene, because “States Rights” or something.
        This is all part of an agenda.

        • SW May 11, 2020 at 12:44 pm #

          All rationalizations for the lockdown and wearing masks have expired but where I live — Austin, TX — local authorities are making arbitrary decisions and the police are enforcing them. Even though the governor is opening up the state and masks are encouraged but not mandatory , four local judges are demanding the lockdown continue and masks are mandatory. Why they and the mayor have this authority, I don’t know.

    • Cargill May 11, 2020 at 11:44 am #

      As I’ve been saying on these pages and elsewhere for weeks, nay months, apparently addressing a stone wall; this virus is not a threat to the young and relatively healthy;i.e. the vast majority of people.

      And so? Because the virus is a more serious threat to a minority of people, it can be brushed aside as a beat-up? That the healthy 25yo is the yardstick for deciding a policy response from health officials? It’s a very callous point of view, I trust you can live with it.

      People over 60 with less than perfect health have every right to equal protection from government and the health system.

      But I do agree that the blanket lock-down was overkill in some ways – some very low-risk activities (in both production and consumption) could have remained functioning under proper protocols. But there again, everything is clearer in hindsight, and spreaders can be totally asymptomatic.

      Plus there are greedy business owners and stupid consumers – both classes that can hardly ever be counted on to do the right thing … so in some ways heavy bans are required.

      • Beryl of Oyl May 11, 2020 at 12:09 pm #

    From a note a good friend (ex alphabet government man)sent regarding the current situation, “The Covid-19 thing is a a problem but the real problem is the destruction of the world financial system by the greedy fuckers. In addition, Trump confronted China on their looting of our country. The Chinese, working with our corrupt “leaders” and corporate bosses, gutted our industry. The Chinese thought they had it in the bag and along comes Trump and kicks over the applecart, enraging not just the Chinese but every money man in the world. My view is this. If the economy does not come roaring back by the end of August (I and I do not expect that) we are fucked.”
    And now to sow the seeds of discord comes this shooting of a poor innocent black man casing a jobsite who accidentally swerved left and almost tripped but for him innocently grabbing the nearest thing available,which unfortunately was a shotgun attached to the dreaded white man. The poor innocent has been baggered forever,first for innocently carrying a loaded gun to a school event,then innocently forgetting to pay for a TV at Walmart.Some folks never get a break. I hope they hang those two, and send the rest of white America to reeducation camps for our own good !

    From today’s essay:

    Start with houses. 63 percent of homeowners pay a mortgage (a loan) every month. The national average outstanding mortgage debt is $148,000. Total mortgage debt is $10.3 trillion. Now cars: There are roughly 260 million passenger vehicles registered in America, with upward of 100 million of them bought on loans that are still active, amounting to $1.2 trillion, enough to buy 53 million Ford Fusions at $23,000 each. Now credit card debt: total for the US is $3.9 trillion with an average carried balance of $9,333. Meanwhile, 45 percent adult Americans have no savings.

    Australia is similar to the US in so many ways, but we’re also kinda different. The median house price in my neck of the woods (Melbourne) is over $US580,000, and mortgages would generally far exceed $US148,000. Australia has been living with a real estate bubble (almost a Ponzi scheme) for a very long time – generations.

    The house we live in (and own outright) cost $85,000 in the late 1980s, and is now valued at $1.25m … and it is very modest indeed. I don’t know what it is, but people are crazily invested in real estate – both literally and psychologically. Getting on the property ladder is an obsession – even for quite young people whose incomes are just starting.

    I don’t think Australians carry as much motor-vehicle or credit-card debt, but I haven’t checked the stats.

    We have zero credit card debt … we use them for everything, but pay 100% of the balance every month, with 60 days interest free built in. I find a carried debtof $9,333 per person staggering … it’s the most expensive money in the world!

    “T’aint nothing queer as folks.”

    JHK has been predicting for a very long time that it’s all going to go blooey, and the US (the world?) is going to have the mother of all depressions – in fact a system collapse. I really trust the pandemic doesn’t trigger anything really nasty … and in fact can be used to get people to wake up and to check their reality.

    Figure out what is really important to themselves and their kids, and for goodness sake pay down (eliminate) every dollar of debt other than mortgage debt – if it means living on rice and beans for a couple of years, and catching a bus, then just do it!

    And just go to the beach or lakeside for summer fun … no-one needs the false jollity of the theme parks or Vegas or wherever. Try camping again – it’s great fun.

        One Karen exercising her two fat daughters made some pointed remarks about ‘social-distance’ as her girls stopped in their tracks due to seeing a couple of unmasked humans coming their way.

        I was of a mind to go back and settle her lunch, but it was upsetting to my companion who was already shook up by the Karen’s aggression, so I had to let it go.

            I’m a 68 yr old long distance cyclist. Recently, I got fitted for an N95 (which required that I shave my beard to get a tight seal.)

            Then I did 2 performance trials doing hard riding in hilly country, then checked my oxygen saturation with an oximeter. My O2 levels were fine … which would suggest my CO2 levels were not adversely affected

            It came as no surprise that I couldn’t find actual studies regarding the dangers of wearing mask to support negative anecdotal “evidence”.

            Since this virus is largely transmitted by people with zero symptoms, NONE of us knows if we are spewing out infection.

            So, you wear a mask to protect OTHERS from your own droplets, emitted every time you speak. The science is clear on this.

            If you are in an area of high viral load, and you don’t wear a mask, you are either

            1) ignorant of the science, or

            2) you are a sociopath who has no problem endangering others because you just don’t “feel like wearing one”, or “it’s against the Constitution” to have to wear one.

            “I’m a 68 yr old long distance cyclist. Recently, I got fitted for an N95 (which required that I shave my beard to get a tight seal.)”

            Don’t listen to the voices from the bozone layer. Janos is unaware that his hero, Adolph, also had to shave his moustache to be fitted for what he, in his ignorance of even that basic terminology, considers analogous to a hijab.

            Speaking of a greengrocer’s apostrophe, I used to be quite diligent about using the possessive (‘s) before a gerund (verb to noun form). But in recent years I’ve gone all modern and kinda dropped it. So now I would just say “the dingo taking my baby.”

    What’s really fucking ugly is that the Democratic Party faithful (Hillary Clinton partisans, if we’re going to be entirely honest) are using the exact same denial-playbook on Tara Reade, who is the accusing Biden of sexual assault, that Republicans used on Christine Blasey-Ford. Even somebody such as yourself who characterized the Kavanaugh accusations as “sexual hysteria” probably readily recognizes the rank hypocrisy: A political faction that was all about #MeToo is now throwing #MeToo under the bus just as enthusiastically as they previously embraced it.

    As someone who truly supported #MeToo during the Kavanaugh hearings, it makes me want to projectile vomit until my abdominal muscles ache.

      During the Presidential debates in 2016 right after the Access Hollywood tape came out, Hillary went on full-bore attack on men who denigrated women, every man was a rapist wannabe (according to her screed) and women should always be believed. Yet sitting in the audience was one James Cargill, a Democratic operative, known for his ugly smear of Paula Jones and other Clinton accusers and was a member of Hillary’s inner circle.

        • SW May 11, 2020 at 12:54 pm #

          Nobody asked the questions — where did this tape come from? why would anyone be secretly taping a B-grade Bush family member and a loud-mouthed real estate developer years ago — (long before Trump became interested in politics)? who released this tape?

          Chris Hedges made the point that all this blanket surveillance is not to “stop crime” but to build a case against people they want to destroy whenever they like.

            Perhaps, although in the case of Trump, if that is the best they have, it is really rather pathetic.

            Comments like his are heard every 10 seconds in nearly every industry where there is money to be made and sluts desperate to get their hands on it.

            The tape was just another example of Trump just spitting out the truth of what goes on 24/7, regardless of how ugly it may sound. I saw much worse than that back in my band days, and I am a nobody relatively speaking.

      It all seems pretty hypocritical to me too – but for the Biden / Dem camp, what are they supposed to do? Not many options, if they’re really going to nominate him. But they’re just politicians and it’s just politics as usual.

      Brett Kavanaugh was qualitatively different – here was a life-long appointment to the highest bench, and an extremely influential position, and where the people need to be held to the highest possible standards … and this totally beer-addled sleaze walks way with the gig because he’s a Repub toad.

    If the imprimatur of USD does not hold up we still have that ‘In God we trust’ thingy, eh. And if we can’t trust God we can trust Satan. And we all know that the Great Satan would never fully topple his own banking cartel lest he had nothing to offer his acolytes.

    Back in 1971 my Chartered Accountant father assured me that the USD imprimatur & arms of state would protect us if all else failed.
    And of course my CA father is now taking a dirt nap so I can’t give him the long awaited lecture he deserves for lying to me in my youth.

    As one that has lived six decades of broken promises that extend from parents, early educators, college teachers, & university professors I, for one, have learned to base my future on behavioural predictors of future events. In brief, future behaviour is most accurately predicted based upon past behaviour. And B.F. Skinner was America’s best known Behaviorist that elucidated that universal truism.

    The United States of America has lied in the past, present, & future.
    Logically, America is behaviourally incapable of keeping a promise unless it is written & signed contractually. Without the signed signature on a contract we can all assume the ‘check is in the mail’.

Add in some meth, coke, heroin, alcohol, and RX meds….imagine the withdrawal outcome. Shut off the EBT cards at the same time. Tribulation times here we come. Society on major withdrawal.

      Get right with the Lord Jesus. He is near. He is the Prince of Peace. Emmanuel. Great High Priest. Call upon Him. He is merciful. He will heal you. He will set you free.

      Psalm 103:1-14
      1 Bless the Lord, O my soul;
      And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
      2
      Bless the Lord, O my soul,
      And forget not all His benefits:
      3
      Who forgives all your iniquities,
      Who heals all your diseases,
      4
      Who redeems your life from destruction,
      Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
      5
      Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
      So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
      6
      The Lord executes righteousness
      And justice for all who are oppressed.
      7
      He made known His ways to Moses,
      His acts to the children of Israel.
      8
      The Lord is merciful and gracious,
      Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
      9
      He will not always strive with us,
      Nor will He keep His anger forever.
      10
      He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
      Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
      11
      For as the heavens are high above the earth,
      So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
      12
      As far as the east is from the west,
      So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
      13
      As a father pities his children,
      So the Lord pities those who fear Him.
      14
      For He knows our frame;
      He remembers that we are dust.

      It’s not a conspiracy, it is a plan that we can see taking place.
      The shut-down isn’t for just one reason. I never said it was.
      The ongoing shut-down, after the original two weeks we were told were necessary to “flatten the curve” and prevent the hospitals from being overwhelmed, has long gone by, and we now know what some of us already knew, that the hospitals were not only not overwhelmed, they were never going to be.
      Yet the shut-down continues.

            So many of you people can’t stand the idea of vote-by-mail … because you know the inconvenient truth: if more and more Americans vote, the Repubs lose more and more. They only win at all by suppressing minorities, and discouraging voting at each election.

            And please don’t bore me with the tired trope about “vote fraud” – it is false and ridiculous. And I agree anyway that the rolls should be cleaned up and updated (but not purged), however that has nothing to do with postal voting, which everyone knows.

            Perhaps in your tiny little dark world Tailgunner, but for many people it’s been on the agenda for a long time – especially the pro-democracy, voter-reform outfits.

            And how can anyone be against postal voting? In any year, but especially in a pandemic year, where it’s likely there will still be no vaccine, treatment, or herd immunity by 3 November.

            It is absolutely evil that the Republican thugs would put their electoral fortunes higher than the potential deaths of thousands, if people are forced to go in person to polling booths.

            The nation – if it were serious about democracy and fairness – would be going full-tilt to organise a universal vote-by-mail for November, and also ensuring the rolls are correct, people are encouraged to enrol, and that all voter suppression be outlawed.

            But Republican politicians in America don’t care about democracy and fairness … those are for wimps and losers … they only care about the lust for power.

            Since the DNC is losing millions of faux voters that popular vote meme has taken a bruising so now they want mail in vote so they can pack the ballot box or simple pull the D lever even when the R lever should have been pulled.

        I find it curious how the daily Task Force (Trump, Fauci, et al) never don the masks or practice the social distancing they preach for the rest of us. If they cannot lead by example–even publicly!–how seriously should we take this?

        Most hospitals are indeed UNDERwhelmed. I have a good friend who works at the largest hospital in my state; entire floors have been shut down and a good portion of the nursing staff has been sent home. They spent $3 million on a temporary surge facility they never used. There is a virus, no doubt, but the data (such as Stanford’s recent antibody study) shows that statistically this is no worse than a bad flu season. And yet the show–and the trashing of our First Amendment rights–goes on.

And confirmed cases, remember, do not mean they’re sick enough to be hospitalized. The lockdown started over a month ago and even with a long incubation time, it’s served its purpose. Yes, more people will get the virus but that doesn’t mean everyone who gets it will die from it.

        Have you ever noticed no pictures from inside nursing homes? Only ICUs. If we want to protect the elderly, especially those who are the sickest, why are we not hearing about mandates to increase staff in nursing homes?

    Nicely written screed Jim, really vintage Jim. I am so happy that you temporarily gave up your rants against the feckless Dems to a post with some real meat. This is the current meme: deflation then inflation. But then what? Social disintegration and unrest? riots in all the urban shitholes? Balkanization of the entire country to a world made by hand?
    It is starting to appear that this is what collapse looks like. The real problem which Jim points out is that when most of the jobs are service and financial jobs and not productive jobs, their disappearance means the end of a consumption based economy. This pandemic would not be much worse than the 1918 version if we were a nation of small towns and small businesses and small farmers. The very structure of the current globalized consumption economy reliant on fossil energy powered machines probably spells doom for the model until people can find the time and energy to relocate and start to produce products and food locally. Our food model is really terrifying with just a handful of meat packing plants doing business with giant animal concentration camps feeding our backyard barbecues. Most of the midwest bread basket farms produce soy and corn and wheat destined for export or ethanol or animal feed. Not people food. Meanwhile the elites are still winning just like they always have for centuries. Talk of revolution and real change never really pans out. Voting is a delusion in an electoral college system. Get ready out there for a real memorable year or two or ten because this is what collapse looks like.

    The sick add up to numbers overwhelming metropolitan/rural hospital personnel and facilities in many places. Not all, so not witnessing ot being an unfortunate participant in real time tends to bring disbelief of particular events.

    Like, the Moon Landing was fake; there was no 1941-45 Holocaust (Eisenhower was a liar?); China and Iran are no threat to western civilization etc.

    Covid-19 would be much less a real time threat if EMS used Triage to assure orderly handling of critical patients. Of course that gets personal if the triage denies one or more family members life saving medical care… Had triage been employed to prevent hospital/medical equipment and personnel overload, damping down the caseload growth rate would not have been necessary.

    The test comes in a few months; as second wave infection comes, and to what levels. Circa 1920 Influenza second wave was much higher than the initial number peak. A second wave more extreme than the present numbers shall reach into food distribution, utilities & communications maintenance, and mundane necessities like sewers, garbage and water in household taps. Highway “level of service” (maintenance) has not been affected this time around.

    These issues are covered in J H Kunstler’s THE LONG EMERGENCY. Mentioned in bare bones passing in Kunstler’s book and writings since is the need to replace pre-WWII rail matrix, particularly rail into food districts linked to food processing facilities, and rr served victuals/necessities warehousing downtown.

    The elevated lines in Chicago and New York had en route food supply warehousing in the hearts of downtown, to assure rail delivery of victuals in night hours when commuter trains were out of service.. This was the rule when most all US Cities had Electric Urban Railway lines bringing supplies into cities & towns. These systems were systematically demolished when anti-trust action was brought against electric utilities operating rail lines.

    Of course one expects the label of fool when suggesting even a thin overlay of railway lines to assure food distribution. Lacking enhanced railway (Second Dimension Surface Logistics Platform) as Famine Hedge, then William Forstchen’s ONE SECOND AFTER post-EMP scenario becomes equally prescient as JHK Long Emergency narration. Read Forstchen to see how cannibalism comes to America.

    It is worth repeating: persons with sequestered wealth would do a wise thing to concern themselves with rehab of American food supply railway links. Maintaining food distribution via rebuilt breadbasket rail links when trucking is undependable or plainly disabled by sickness. False Flag event EMP etc.,is still achievable, but only a sad, out of reach regret after the financial system folds. See Mike Walker Publishing spv.co.uk for all time USA rail lines map atlas books. Adopt a rail branch line.near your family home…

      That’s because Richard Nixon came from the political school of a turkey in every pot. Today’s politicians don’t come from that school anymore as Maynard Keynes changed that when Nixon adopted his thinking, temporarily. This advent ushered in Petrodollar supremacy & USD hegemon status for reserve currency USD in 1971 August.

      It’s easier to fool people than to get them to admit they’ve been fooled. Think about it. And every great salesmen will tell you that the secret is getting the person to sell themselves.

      Most will never admit it. They’ve fooled the world and now they have the world. And since we have a Democracy (add italics denoting sickness), the politicians have to go along with this – rather than fucking LEADING. Thus Democracy is fatally flawed and contradindicated and the Fascist/National Socialist Republic model is prescribed. Once the Demons are overthrown and order restored, voting can recommence, with perhaps 5% of the people now voting having any remaining right to do so. Only the worthy in other words.

    Fox 6

    The owner of a Massachusetts ice cream parlor closed its doors just one day after reopening amid the coronavirus pandemic in response to how angry customers mistreated a teenage employee.

    Mark Lawrence, who for 19 years has operated Polar Cave Ice Cream Parlour in Mashpee, a small town on Cape Cod, waited to reopen his shop under the state’s restaurant guidelines until Mother’s Day weekend.

    But Friday’s grand reopening turned into a harsh lesson for the small business, according to Lawrence, who told FOX25 Boston that customers frustrated with having to wait longer for their ice cream after the shop grew busy took their anger out on his staff.

    “One of my best workers quit yesterday at the end of her shift,” he said. “But the words she was called and the language, you wouldn’t even say in a men’s locker room, and to say it to a 17-year-old kid, they should be ashamed of themselves.”

    Under a new plan to keep customers and employees safe, Lawrence said he posted on the shop’s Facebook page that all orders must be placed one hour in advance. However, many patrons didn’t follow the new rules, according to Lawrence, and appeared to forget their manners after weeks of social distancing.

    “People have forgotten how to treat other human beings in the six or seven weeks that they’ve been confined to their homes,” he told the station. “They have no clue how to respect other human beings.”

    Lawrence said he will close the shop to the general public until he comes up with a new operating plan.

    JS: Are we human beings or Carguillean Antipodean Dingoes? Are we men, or “grump Marxists” who want to “bust God”. People want their ice cream and no little Becky’s are going to get in their way. They want back to Normal! But are they normal anymore? As if that was even a good thing?

    He needs to get Ice Cream Robots or if those don’t exist yet, vending machines that serve ice cream. Or if those don’t exist, put the servers behind glass where they can’t even hear the customers. The customers just press the right button, and the ice cream girl makes up their cone or whatever.

    Can one eat ice cream while wearing a mask? The Karens must be ordered to do so. The results will be hilarious. Just slip the ice cream under the mask! Or create new masks with mouth holes. Call them ice cream masks.

    Third great article in a row.

    It would be good if everyone in America considers that “They” fully realize we’re all going to blow, but that “They” have carefully maneuvered us all to release that frustration on to each other.
    If we all do that, or if enough of us do that, it gives “Them” a great excuse to enact even more surveillance, more controls… and more and more….Being naughty, we will have brought it all on ourselves, what else could “They” do.

    There must be behaviors people can engage in that do not involve violence to each other or to government entities (who all have Schumer’s “6 ways from Sunday” – whatever the fuck that actually means – to pay us back)

    First step seems to be to refuse utterly to fight with anyone at all in real life over politics. Nothing could be more pointless and have less impact on actual outcomes.

    Second step seems to be stop believing what you hear/see on TV and elsewhere without checking for an rock-solid original source. There was a time when journalists could not print specious claims lthat came from “a White House source”. or “an anonymous person who was in ther oom” or any of the other shit they make up these days.
    Watch the old movie All The president’s Men and pay attention to how they twisted themselves into knots trying to think of ways to go to print with verifiable data or sources for shit they already knew from Deep Throat>
    Today, Deep Throats are made up at pseudo-journalists and CIA desks, and we all sucker for it, get mad, and then go punch someone in a MAGA hat or fight over turkey with the hipster son-in-law. People have gotten divorced over this far-off made up bullshit.

    We need to develop a little more street-smarts on all of this and not fight each other like pawns in a game we are set up to lose.

    re: Biden. No sane person will vote for a guy who hides in a crisis the way he is. He could do something that helps – not helps the Trump administration but The People, but he’s not lifting a weak finger.
    People accuse Carter of having been weak but he was a triathlete compared to Biden.
    Watch Joe talk while asking yourself “does he seem to care about anything other than his precious self”? How you can interpret his demeanor as being engaged with his fellow Americans at all is beyond me.
    Them imagine some old-school guy like Kennedy as the candidate in a crisis. He’d be doing some kind of actually helpful or inspiring shit.
    Biden is clearly done with it all,on vacation, and just running the clock till his intended replacement enters Stage Left.

      There is the other point of view … the very best thing is for Joe to just keep his mouth shut, and let Trump stew in his own juice … the polls are in Joe’s favour, and getting steadily more dire for Trump.

      Something drastic has to happen for him not to be the candidate on 3 November.

      How does this and other bad popes fit in with the election of popes, who are supposed to be the vicar of Christ on earth and infallible in matters of doctrine? How do these mistakes happen?

      • Janos Skorenzy May 12, 2020 at 1:10 pm #

        I know. It’s enough to make me wish I had been born Orthodox. It really is probably closer to the original model. One poster on a Trad site said that the great convert from Anglicanism, John Henry Newman, wouldn’t have converted after Vatican One where the powers of the Pope were expanded and his person exalted to infallibility.

    A common misnomer here: MMT is being hung with a bad name. All MMT is, is an explanation of the structure of our current monetary system. It isn’t a policy, just a description of infrastructure. That this system is abused by immoral and criminal types is a whole different matter.

    Don’t say it is MMT. Be more accurate… it is our corrupt government’s, banking system’s, and Wall St.’s misuse of the system.

    Keynesianism is even getting wrongfully condemned. Keynes wrote that their could be government stimulus occasionally in times of economic panics. He never suggested that it would be done with the unGodly amounts that our monetary and fiscal operators flow out like and endless fire hose.

    Your assessment of the average American consumer/homeowner is accurate Jim and the demise of this over indebted, and decreasingly compensated class is one of the controlled demolitions that bring down one of the two Towers of the American economy. The other Tower, the Business Tax Rateable, is in the process of planting charges within its structure in the form of Tax Assessment Reductions from the local municipal government that they reside in that will deal a fatal blow to the revenue streams of the towns that rely on them for large payments.

    In the end, the terrorists will be blamed (Covid-19) and the American tax paying public shall be reduced from being the consumers of record to being the consumed, another pile of smoking rubble. As George Carlin was wont to say, “Nobody notices, nobody cares”.

      It is Financial Controlled Demolition, Walt. The next leg down financially with the latest REPO backstop of $6.3 trillion USD added to the Federal Reserve balance sheet will necessitate municipal tax base increases on both Residential & Commercial tax base for governance revenue building.

      This is why I keep telling you to declare your municipal tax base a marijuana friendly tax zone whereby your community can cash in on marijuana sales tax from the Great Unwashed Masses of homeowners & business owners that are indentured into servitude via municipal tax requirements of governance like yourself.

      Sell marijuana, Walt. Collect the tax on pot sales to fill municipal coffers with a financial hedge against Controlled Demolition of the current tax base & dysfunctional business model that wrought this situation to begin with.

    Republican Congress members upset banks dropping support for fossil fuels
    A letter to the president ignores the fact that wind and solar employ people, too.

    https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/05/republican-congress-members-upset-banks-dropping-support-for-fossil-fuels/

    “Last week, Republican House members sent a letter to President Donald Trump in which they decried banks’ recent re-evaluations of the risks of fossil fuel investments. While the letter doesn’t call for any particular action, it repeatedly mentions the assistance offered to banks via the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act 9 (CARES Act), and it implies that the banks aren’t living up to their end of the deal. Throughout the letter, its signatories seem to ignore the fact that the fossil fuel sector is not the only component of the US energy economy.

    “The letter was sent to Trump by a collection of 14 senators and 22 representatives, all Republican. In addition to Trump, the letter cc’d a few senior administration officials, including the secretaries of the Department of Energy and the Department of the Treasury and the CEOs of six banks. The CEOs of three fossil fuel industry groups were also included.

    “The letter comes as the recent events have accelerated banks’ decisions to re-evaluate fossil fuel investments. In the long term, fossil fuel development faced two significant challenges. The first is that wind and solar generation have become cost-competitive with fossil fuels in most markets. The second is that the pledges made to limit future fossil fuel emissions will likely mean that some fossil fuel deposits will be left undeveloped. That means that some of the resources now held as assets by fossil fuel companies will end up ‘stranded’—meaning the assets will turn out to have no value.”

    We’re fast approaching the day when governments the world ’round no longer identify fossil fuel interests with their own interests. Should be quite a sight to see.

      What will we be running everything on if it’s not ‘fossil fuels’. How will you heat your houses and run your cars in Canada without coal, oil, natgas and nuclear? Please don’t say windmills and solar panels because Michael Moore exposes those as total scams in ‘Planet of the Humans’ which we already knew anyway.

      • Elrond Hubbard May 11, 2020 at 7:20 pm #

        What are you imputing, BRH? That I think exponential growth can somehow continue? I don’t. That I expect the private automobile to reign supreme forever? I don’t. But I do expect civilization to carry on in some form, and that it will carry on exploiting whatever energy sources are available. Like fluid taking on the shape of its container, society will adjust within the energy constraints imposed on it. John Michael Greer is dead wrong: time is linear, not circular, and nothing ever un-happens. We are not going back to the 19th century.

        • Janos Skorenzy May 11, 2020 at 7:46 pm #

      • cbeard May 15, 2020 at 7:14 am #

        Sigh? BRH, what you don’t seem to get is the fact that traditional energy sources such as oil, coal, etc. could be extended for decades or maybe centuries with the use of alternative power. In my locale, solar makes the most sense. Stay connected to the grid, use whatever alternative power is available, cut your energy cost in half or more. If the big business, big energy conglomerates weren’t so stupid, greedy, shortsighted, pick your adjective, they could probably figure out a way to make money from other energy sources. The best way would be to work on improving the technology, getting the cost down where more people cam afford it and actually manufacturing and selling the equipment. Not building huge solar, wind farms which would sell the cheap power to consumers at inflated rates.

      A few things arise from these paragraphs:

      1. It doesn’t directly address the fact that the price of oil has crashed, along with demand, and especially for the frackers – they are cactus.

      2. The letter almost lays out the whole case for why the banks are being rational and sober about not “supporting” the fossil fuel companies like they used to.

      3. And the fossil fuel industry must save a great deal of money on hiring lobbyists – they’ve got senators and reps who do all their lobbying for them … but I guess they’re full paid-up as well.

      Anyway – we live in interesting times … in both the financial and energy arenas.

        Such talk of renewable energy technology being “cost-competitive with fossil fuels in most markets” defies my real world experience and I’ve been relying on that technology for the past decade.

          I remain a renewables agnostic myself – and I agree the transition is going to long and costly. Still it’s better than the alternative … total reliance on fossil fuels, with a death race to see which comes first: global warming or oil depletion.

          But it’s a somewhat different argument to the one in the letter.

        • GreenAlba May 12, 2020 at 10:11 am #

          Janos

          For one who takes such an elevated interest in such things, you seem very confused about the terminology.

          This is a hijab:

          https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQK3et0MG8UW9eXXcav6lmS8KLe3ekijswyGPle61ZoYxm3O2RC&usqp=CAU

          It would do nothing for any efforts you were to make to slow transmission of anything at all, with the possible exception of head lice. Even assuming you considered a tiny courtesy to your fellow citizens to be as important as your self-image, which you clearly don’t.

          In the interests of full disclosure (haha), I’m just going to point out that I’ve worn a ‘social’ mask to the shops but not anywhere else. I walk the dog without a mask and I chat to my neighbours in their gardens or in the street without a mask. The virus transmits more easily indoors than outdoors. Nightowl, from his comments, is also too childish and obsessed with his self-image to make the distinction.

          When I made the comment about a smile (I mostly ignore people’s eyes when I’m wearing a mask because I’m very easily embarrassed) it was because I’d watched a young district nurse attempting to remove her PPE on the pavement outside a flat where she’d been visiting – SHE was wearing a mask (naturally) and I wasn’t. Her papery pinny was blowing slightly in the breeze, as I’ve already described with reference to my husband’s experience) while she attempted to remove it, so any virus that might have been on it would have been blowing about her. Just as well she was wearing a mask (she wasn’t lucky enough to have goggles). So I smiled at her, with some sympathy, and I could tell, even with the mask, that her response was friendly. We’re a friendly people, even in Edinburgh.

          Like I said, I wear one to the shops. Just the shops. Because it seems the virus transmits more easily indoors, where people like shop assistants work. That means, in my particular case (since the corner shop I most frequent is about 120 seconds’ walk from my front door) that I’ve only worn the thing for about 20-30 minutes in total since I acquired a few of them a few weeks ago.

          Which is a lot less time than you’ve spent wittering on about something which is merely a courtesy to your fellow humans – and virtue signalling about your ‘freedom’ to keep the infection rate at a higher level than it needs to be.

          A reasonable person would think ‘OK, the lockdown is bad, and this is a minute inconvenience that I can accept in order to make the post-lockdown phase slightly safer for people more vulnerable than myself that I might unknowingly be close to while I’m unknowingly infectious – people like the 20-something American bar worker I mentioned with asthma who’s concerned about the lack of consideration for other people that he’s noted in his fellow countrymen. And the workers in the store/lumber yard belonging to my husband’s American brother-in-law’s brother, which he had to close because some religious zealots refused to comply with the courtesy of wearing a mask (which the store presumably provided, even) and keeping a distance from other customers who didn’t share their religious zealotry.

          There will be a workable vaccine for Covid before there will be one against dumbfuckery and ‘exceptionalist’ self-obsession.

          I will be wearing a ‘social’ mask when I take the train down to my brother’s funeral too. That will be the longest I’ll ever wear one. I somehow think, because he was a much more reasonable and less selfish person than you, that he’d want me to take whatever sensible precautions were available, even if they were no guarantee of protection. I expect he probably wouldn’t even want me to flout the law and go down to England for his funeral. So I think a mask is a tiny compromise with the situation we find ourselves in.

          • GreenAlba May 12, 2020 at 10:44 am #

            PS I’ve still to see a single police officer in the street or in a car anywhere near where I live, since this whole thing started, despite the fear porn. I guess that’s just because we’re normal, socially responsible people around here.

            No doubt you go to Muslim shops whenever you can. Just like any reasonable, non-selfish person, right?

            How do you know you’re not infected? When were you tested? What gives you the right to talk and spew your water droplets, if you haven’t been tested, say a few minutes earlies, thus putting your victim (the person you’re talking to) at risk?

            Crazy? It’s coming. You will do fine in the Village cuz you’re already like that, but I will not.

            The local corner shop that I patronise more than anywhere else (especially in the current situation) is Italian.

            There ya go…

            And before it was Margiotta (a local chain) it was Santangeli.

            I’ve nothing against helping our Scots-European neighbours, especially since most of them came during and after the second world war, like the early Poles.

            I don’t know I’m not infected. That’s why I pay the shop the courtesy of wearing a mask, so I’m not spewing water droplets.

            And even if I’d had it, I wouldn’t know if I’d got it again. Every time my husband comes home from work, I wonder if he’s going to give me it. But you just have to do what you can and get on.

          Again, Janos, you seem fated by your ideological blinkers (which might be a help in the absence of goggles) to miss the point. Again and again.

          The wearing of a ‘social’ mask (i.e. if you’re not on the frontline), is to offer *some* protection to those around you in the event of you being infectious without knowing it (which applies to EVERYONE in the pre-symptomatic stage of Covid, as well as those permanently without symptoms or those with ambiguous symptoms).

          This is a computer simulation – created by a Finnish university – of a cough in a grocery store:

          https://youtu.be/zs0hGe4ffC4

          Invisible droplets go a lot further than we previously believed.

          If the person who coughed (coughing, you will remember, is a sometimes sudden reflex action, not a social choice) was wearing a mask, the effect would be massively reduced. S/he might infect 1 person close by instead of 6 or 8, for example.

          Goggles, on the other hand, help protect the wearer, which is why medics and nurses have to wear them. So far we are unaware of eyes with the ability to cough or sneeze, so you don’t need to wear goggles to help protect your fellow citizens, even if such a bizarre sympathetic urge were part of your personal make-up.

          • Janos Skorenzy May 12, 2020 at 1:18 pm #

            So masks aren’t to help the wearer? I think Trent might be very unhappy to know that. But I might agree since Barnhardt said that even the fitted N95’s don’t really protect against this one at least. It’s too small.

          • GreenAlba May 12, 2020 at 2:08 pm #

            “So masks aren’t to help the wearer?”

            Principally you wearing one helps others protect themselves against you if you’re infected. But such things only work in a society/community where people are into reciprocity, which isn’t a very strong value in the US as far as I can see.

            Also, I surmised (only surmised) that for the wearer, since some of the virus is absorbed by the cotton (hence the more layers the better and some layers of non-woven fabric, e.g. interfacing, in between, even better) so you might get a lower viral load (but assuming you were just wearing it on the bus or in a shop, not wearing it all day). But I’m just surmising. At my age, a bit of hopeful thinking on the matter isn’t out of order. When I’m surmising I let you know.

            Like I said, I only wear one in shops – and I will on the train (and I really hope everyone else on the train will be wearing one), but mostly I’m lucky enough to be able to avoid public transport for the duration as I don’t need to get to work.

            And they only help protect, as I’ve said many times.

            You might infect 2 people instead of 6. That slows down the transmission rate and helps hospitals cope. Also, especially in a non-lockdown situation, it helps businesses by not having everyone off sick at once.

    Comey had been investigating Trump’s Russia connection since before tthe election. Did he tell the American people that fact as he did with Hillary Clinton’s email investigation that many people say was the final straw? No. So during this investigation Flynn makes calls to Russian ambasssador and naturally the FBI questioned him. He lied. He was arrested. He pled guilty. He was going to jail. There is nothing wrong with any part of that narrrative. Comey helped Trump get elected and it cost him his job.

            When women are masked, it accentuates the dagger eyes they give men. So it’s not only a token of submission, but simultaneously a weapon against the unbelievers.

    Ahmoud the so called Georgia jogger was in heavy shoes and cargo shorts and 10 miles away from where he was staying. 10 miles one way is what a marathon runner does in suitable track ware and shaved legs. There are no bus routes in this area so what if he was out as a serious jogger stop and inspect/case a home under construction? Ahmoud was arrested in 2018 for stealing a TV which broke his probation for carrying a hand gun into a HS football game. The father of the shooter fighting for his life as Amhoud tried to wrestle the shotgun away was a police man who interviewed Amhoud and each knew each other so the gig was up not being known who he was and escape. Funny the facts I just stated have not been mentioned in the news. Gonna be another Treyvon Martin smelly mess of the left calling up racism chants then the stink as the father and son are exonerated. There had been break ins latley in the area and they have video in one that seems to fit Ahmound. The Fater and son were not hunting down a black man but trying to stop and hold a suspect for the police arrival but Armound decided to fight and possible kill father and son and make a get away

      That joggaboo had it coming.

      There is additional video surveillance of him inside the house at least two additional times, AT NIGHT.

      Was he jogging at 1am?

      Im not saying anybody deserves to be shot dead for trespassing at a construction site; but thats not why he got shot.

      He got shot because he tried to steal a shot gun from a shot gun owner.

      Well, plenty of ‘joggers’ being shot, 107 in Chicago so far this month.

      In Cincinatti shootings up 40%, all joggers.

      Big jogger shootout in Ft Worth, TX last nite at a massive street party where social distancing rules not being observed

      The only jogger the media seems to be interested in is the one shot while casing houses in Georgia. The elderly white couple gunned down visiting their sons grave in Maryland by a Jogger with a rifle doesn’t seem to be of much interest to the MSM.

    NUMBERS EVERYONE SHOULD MEMORIZE, BECAUSE ONLY THE REAL COUNTS, ONLY THE REAL MATTERS, AND MAGICAL THINKING IS INFANTILE.

    A CoronaCold by Gates (TM) particle is a sphere with a diameter of 0.125 microns.

    N95 masks, ONLY WHEN RIGOROUSLY FITTED AND TESTED, stop approximately 95% of particles down to 0.300 microns. Anything smaller than 0.300 microns sails through an N95 mask, EVEN if it is rigorously custom-fitted.

    0.125 microns is SMALLER than 0.300 microns. THEREFORE, N95 masks DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to block CoronaCold by Gates (TM), even when rigorously custom-fitted. Hence the unstoppable healthy spread of the virus and herd immunity.

    Surgical masks are 60%-80% effective in blocking particles of 5.000 microns down to 0.300, depending on the type. Surgical masks are designed to keep the doctors’ and nurses’ boogers out of the flayed patient. This is not an exaggeration.

    Cloth, like a cotton bandana, will block particles down to 200 microns when brand new. After washing, when the weave of the fabric softens and loosens, that increases to 400-600 microns.

    Just to recapitulate for the sake of clarity, a CoronaCold by Gates (TM) particle is ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE THOUSANDTHS OF A MICRON in diameter. 0.125 microns.

    The pores in that Masonic Burqa of submission are 2.5 times wider for an N95 mask, up to 4800 times wider for a piece of fashion fabric.

    I just grabbed a tape measure and measured myself shoulder-to-shoulder. Let’s call it 20 inches to use a round number. Let’s see what 4800 times wider than me is:

    20 inches X 4800 = 96,000 inches

    96,000 divided by 12 inches in a foot = 8000 feet

    8000 feet divided by 5280 feet in a mile = 1.51 miles

    The ONLY THING that masks do is signal SUBMISSION TO THE LIE, a loud-and-proud declaration of being contra-educated and fully subscribed to the most infantile forms of magical thinking.
    IF you think ANY of this has ANYTHING to do with “public health”, or a “pandemic” – THERE IS NO PANDEMIC, JUST A CHEST COLD… I just can’t even….
    In the U.K., where the NHS is literally worshipped as a Neo-pagan entity, the mask is the veil of submission. It is a piece of “religious” garb, and any non-conformity to its dehumanizing submission to “the lord high god Enn Aitch Ess” will be beaten down in Talibanesque spirit, with the neighbors joining in, slain with the spirit of satanic piety.

    In Italy, the Masonic Veil has become the symbol of “Italian pride”, the new national religion of narcissism, which with the full cooperation of the Antipope and his Antichurch, will attempt to grind the One True Church to dust.

    And in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave?

    Total economic suicide and neo-pagan religious submission to New World Order totalitarianism without a single shot fired… OVER A CHEST COLD.

    The movie “Plandemic” has the Streisand effect going for it. It’s the most banned movie in human history, although only a few weeks old. What are they afraid of? Everyone wants to know.

    Babs tried to get shot of her beachfront property taken off the web for some reason. Then everyone wanted to know why she did and where exactly she lived, etc.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

    Emboldened, the film makes is planning a full length documentary. Miskovits seems legit, a tender soul who has been savaged by powerful medical capitalists. Humble, yet proud of her work, which she deems important. Nothing wrong about any of that – it is important and apparently she is good at it. Anglin cautions us: It’s possible this could be the beginning of a campaign of official misinformation. Anything this big had to take pushback into account and as Stalin said, the best way to deal with resistance is to lead it. I will let you know what he finds out. So far he is positive about the whole thing.

    Oil demand is low because no one is driving much and industry is running in first gear.

    That will not continue long, we will get most of our service economy back plus a bunch of new manufacturing because of Chinaphobia. I remember 2008 and the dearth of traffic afterword. Did not last long. Oil will return to prior value and demand once the surplus is exhausted.

    Not to be confused with the oil shortage disaster in about twenty years.

        The real deal is that oil wells take a lot of money to stop and restart later. They will continue to pump until it does not make sense to pump economically. They are not a switch. That is why this surplus is growing so fast. Have you seen the pictures of the oil tankers off the coast of California?

    Everybody at the White House Press Conference today, masked. Everybody except Trump, the Alpha Male. Even the reporters. Even the obnoxious Johnathan Karl.

    Chinese chick reporters got uppity, asking Drumph why he makes everything into a competition, while Americans are dying. He asked the Chink why she didn’t ask China that question. Outraged, she took off her mask and asked why he asked HER that – trying to invoke minority privilege. He ignored her uppity self.

          It is the job of journalists in a democracy to ask hard, harsh, penetrating questions – to shine a light on bullshit, and to cut through the spin and talking points that politicians try to snow everybody with.

          This is especially the case with a president that has no integrity or moral compass – and just lies all the time. And who has made blunder after blunder.

          The press corp should be ruthless – not like the three little monkeys on Fox&Friends who glorify the great orange one. In fact I think the press corp has been far too respectful of Trump – he doesn’t deserve it … he’s a slug.

    The Trump virus does indeed have something in common with the flu. But only one particular flu.

    The swine flu.

    Also: Trump is currently questioning covid death toll numbers.

    Claiming death does not exist and therefore such claims are fake news.

      Trump needs to make a state visit. 34 is embarrassing low to report. A Trump state visit could make the situation newsworthy. Chaos follows Trump and 34 is hardly better than a slightly above average school shooters’ performance.

      Trump can give advice on how to get their numbers up. Truth is, Trump does not even have to give any advice. His mere presence is enough to suck the air out of a room.

      Air of intelligence. No Trump creates a vacuum wherever he goes. Any air is replaced by a miasma of death after it is sucked out. Then if you look hard enough everywhere the air is colored by an unpleasant orange tinge.

      S. Koreans need to stop taking care of themselves and get back to working meaningless shit jobs that won’t ever improve their lives. What is good enough for Americans is good enough for them.

    So basically quantum computing is opening up portals to other dimensions and interdimensional beings who travel through these portals to our dimension are recognized as AI. So they truly are summoning the demon. The time draws near when a person’s conciousness will be downloadable to a chip. That’s what they say. Where will the conciousness really go? Who possesses it? But these are only things we know because Silicon Valley has told us so. But what don’t we know? We have also been told that AI could result in an immortal tyrant taking complete control of humanity. Sound familiar? Pride comes before the fall. And how very proud they are.

            ” free speech doesn’t include race hate, in my book.”

            Since he has said that only whites can be racist, that presumably means that any hate speech is OK so long as it isn’t uttered by a white person.

            The solution here, folks, is to stop feeding trolls.

            It isn’t criticism of a white person that is a problem. Only the left thinks like that because they are dishonest as to their true agenda. How disingenuous.

            No, the danger comes frm the systematic dehumanization of a group, as a group. Whites – uniquely racist in the world. Uniquely conquering in this world. Only they are capable of racism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

            What the hell is racism then?

            Can it really be possible to be that stupid? I am doubtful.

            Karma never sleeps.

            Most groups / countries have engaged in racism. No race has failed to do so.

            If you look at history, it is this sort of dehumanization of the other and ascribing to them evil characteristics as if they are uniquely capable of such, which is the precursor, the INTENDED precursor, to physical violence and oppression. That violence against whites is being plotted and abetted by whites is kind of unfathomable, yet we see it before our eyes.

          • Janos Skorenzy May 12, 2020 at 1:49 pm #

            It’s natural to prefer one’s own group. That means some degree of Xenophobia is natural. Xenophillia is a mental/emotional/moral disease that one is liable to get if they hate their own people.

            See Sir Arthur Keith’s Law of Enmity and Amity. The West has lost this completely and is on its way out. To put it another ways, We didn’t love ourselves like Christ said we should. How then could we love anyone else? I’m talking on the macro or collective level here, but the principle is true on the micro or individual level as well. Christianity never focused on loving oneself at all. Just always assume we did and it was horrible. I have a very different outlook.

            The Mahayana takes the same stand. Psychologists have stopped the Dalia Lama in his speeches, saying that Westerners don’t love themselves (as individuals). I don’t think they meant to be rude but they couldn’t abide the untruth he was perpetrating unknown to himself. The very poised Dalai Lama was flustered. Apparently he now accepts that the West has gone wrong and this isn’t always helpful advice.

            I might add that alone among prominent religious figures, He has said that Whites have the right to their own Nations. Not one Bishop, Pope, or Minister has done the same for us. Only the ethnic and religiously alien Dalai Lama. God bless him.

          • Janos Skorenzy May 12, 2020 at 1:53 pm #

            As Hitler said, echoing Lord Buddha, life is struggle. If you don’t want to struggle, then get out of the way of those who still want a place in the world. Can we be clear that the morality of monks and renounciates is going to be very different from people still in the world, still belonging to nations and still having to provide for and protect their families?

            Yet the morality of other worldliness conquered the West once people started taking that part of Christ’s message seriously. Who knows what He would have really said about this? We have so little of his teaching…..

          • SoftStarLight May 12, 2020 at 2:51 pm #

            They purposely kept Christ’s teachings from us as much as they could. We are lucky to have what we have. You know, I never looked at it quite like that. Come to think of it there is no religious leader at all who says anything about whites really. That is interesting information about the Dalai Lama’s position.

            You just misunderstood Alba. Don’t you understand? As soon as Christ rose into the clouds it was the Latter Days and the generations of the Latter Days. It has been ever since and will be until the end of the Age. Why question everything all the time? Sometimes its ok to admit we don’t understand and just accept. Certainly you don’t really understand all the mechanics of how the climate really works but you have faith in the established scientists who say the world is warming. It’s like that. And you know what. I am sorry I criticized you for believing what you do. I should have been more respectful even in my disagreements.

            I have no more ‘faith’ in scientists than I have in you or me. Faith is nothing to do with it. I read the evidence. You choose not to. The basics of AGW are not rocket science – just normal physical science.

            You would understand anthropogenic warming if you chose to read even minimally about it, but instead you go looking for the writings of contrarians, because you had your agenda first and went looking for supposed ‘facts’ afterwards to reinforce it.

            I have no agenda – it would be delightful if none of it were true.

    S. Koreans need to stop taking care of themselves and get back to working meaningless shit jobs that won’t ever improve their lives. What is good enough for Americans is good enough for them.

    All kidding aside, I’ve actually thought about this quite a lot, and I think you’re absolutely right.

    There is no doubt an extremely intelligent couple of percent in America, and with all the benefits of solid family, sufficient wealth, good schools and universities, a strong worth ethic, and a healthy ambitious streak … they get ahead and are very successful.

    Some are even millionaire / billionaire successful, but that is a minority of the minority … most do okay, have meaningful and satisfying careers, and generally do better than their parents did.

    That’s pretty much the Australian model too … but America seems to have vast numbers of people who are “working poor” – white, black, Latino, urban, and rural. And they stay that way. We seem to have a much larger “middle class”, or aspirational working class, and a relatively small shit-kicker class.

    Of course, we don’t have the long history of African-American slavery | post-slavery, no massive Latino immigration, and much else … most of our immigration has been from southern and eastern Europe, and SE Asia, and it has been extremely successful.

    I’m just musing here about perceived differences – I have no hard data to cite … but we have had a collective 15-16 months in North America, plus close family in Maryland, so it’s not like it’s just a seven-day jaunt in Las Vegas, and suddenly I’m an expert.

      Oh you aren’t an expert? You shouldn’t downplay yourself. You are so smart. Now if you could simply harness that power for the Light. May I bring something to your attention. You have noticed that Australia appears much more successful socially because it is not as diverse.

      “Of course, we don’t have the long history of African-American slavery | post-slavery, no massive Latino immigration, and much else … most of our immigration has been from southern and eastern Europe, and SE Asia, and it has been extremely successful.”

      You are right. Because your population is more homogenous than the US it would seem Australia does not have the same level of social ill that the US has. And notice its not because anyone in that mix is bad, or is being condemned as bad. You are simply noticing a natural function of nature and human behavior. The truth is within you and you are speaking it here. I’m so excited this morning to read this that I just feel like the day has a totally different feeling now.

    Truly disturbing…

    Mother’s Day message from Trump: I’ll be in meetings but F-35 is ‘best in the world’

    When asked what he was doing on Mother’s Day…Trump didn’t really answer the question, and instead pivoted to talking about the U.S. military. Here’s what he said:

    “Well, we’ll be together. I’m going to a Camp David meeting — a big meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Camp David is this very special place that nobody ever gets to see but it’s a great work environment. And we’re going to have meetings on different things.

    And we’re going to have meetings on different things, and our military has never looked better. It’s never been better. We’ve never had the kind of equipment that we have now.

    And we had planes that were 50 years old, and more. Fighter jets — now we have the best in the world, the F-35 and the F-18, and you know, what we have is incredible.

    The equipment and the people we have are great, but you know, they have to have equipment.

    And we spent $1.5 trillion — really, more than that. And we’ve totally rebuilt our military, which you have to do. You know, I’m a very budget-conscious person. But you have to do.

    The nice thing is — it’s all built in the USA. And plenty of equipment coming. Lot of this equipment is coming. So it’s very important that we have the best military and we have the… our military has never been in condition like it is now and soon will be.”

            I really think I’m one of the minority here who reads JHK’s essays carefully, considers them, and actually comments on them.

            Much of what he says about societal and financial collapse, and resource depletion, resonates strongly with me. I’m deeply pessimistic, and would love all the crazy hyper-consumerism to just disappear, and for us to live simpler lives.

            Of course no-one wants the pandemic, but let’s really hope some genuine re-sets come out of it (but I shan’t hold my breath).

            And it’s the RWNJ loonies who amaze me – with their fear-filled conspiracy theories and over-heated imaginations. And the worse thing … even when they do recognise a genuine issue or problem or crisis, they always without fail get the cause totally wrong, and blame totally the wrong people. They look exactly 180° in the wrong direction.

            There is an awful lot of victim attacking on here as well … black guy gets shot – it was all his fault – and a hundred other examples.

    What Trump should do now.

    Revise re-election strategy. Go full Bernie/AOC

    Eliminate income tax on everyone earning less that $100,000.

    Establish a guaranteed national income of $25,000.

    Inaugurate National Health care.

    Forgive all student loans.

    Establish a wealth tax. All wealth over $1 billion to be taxed at 100%, etc.

    Prepare for future bankruptcy.

    Let’s just do it and get it over with quickly because its gonna happen anyway.

      One minor problem, every dollar that is created through no labor involved or created by increasing debt is a dollar that does not really exist. I guess imaginary dollars will be used to buy imaginary goods and services.

      Where exactly do you want to get all these imaginary dollars?

      I know, we will get them by robbing Monopoly games. The dollars created by the government will be worth the same amount as the Monopoly money.

      Prepare for bankruptcy? How exactly do you do that? The degree of socialism we have today has made certain age groups and poverty groups dependent on the government. The spending power of these consumer groups provide a big chunk of the economy.

      The idea that the government is going to bail out the gimme people is a false hope. The bail out is worthless.

    Of all the scams, federally-backed student loans are one of the worst. Colleges, law schools etc. have been doubling, tripling, and quadrupling tuition over the last 15 years or so, because with nearly limitless borrowing for school backed by the Fed, they can charge students whatever they want. When students, aka student-loan-conduits take out these loans everyone involved in the transaction knows that the money will never be paid back. Borrower (student) lender (government) and principal beneficiary (college, law school, grad school etc.) all know that the student will never earn enough money to repay 150-$250,000 in debt, or more, and that the “loan” isn’t really a loan at all. . .and yet the beat goes on. Some students will go to schools in Florida so they can spend years hanging out on the beach financed by the government. . .and the situation just gets worse every year. It will all have end somehow, or our dollar will become recognized as worthless paper.

      this is one where i blame universities for being corrupt bullshit artists and people being pure dumb just as much as the govt encouragement of process via loans. College has been 100% joke for at least two decades.

    • Cargill May 12, 2020 at 1:33 pm #

      Even though the lunacy of the right-wing is a terrible impediment to decent governance, there are simple and effective solutions to huge moral hazard outcomes such as the education racket.

      In Australia, students can get loans (which are indeed paid back) however the amount is capped … the policy says a law degree shall mean $25,000 per year, a medical degree $35,000 a year, or whatever.

      Universities can charge more than this if they wish to go down that path, but students can only borrow to the cap – they would have to find the balance from elsewhere (such as a rich mummy and daddy).

      Same with health insurance … there is a scheduled fee for each procedure, and by definition, public hospitals (the majority) charge exactly that amount, so the patient pays no top-up. If you use private doctors and private hospitals they cost more – you either pay the gap, or take out gap insurance.

      Again – it works well enough – it covers the 75% of public patients, but allows flexibility for those who are richer to get upscale service, but not letting them gouge the public purse while they do it.

      But I obviously understand that the huge subsidies to the richest in society (ie, those who go to law school and med school) are features of the student loan racket, and the medical racket, and not a bug. Lobbyists control these outcomes.

      This is where I can disagree with JohnAZ quite often … it’s not the welfare queens, deadbeat illegals, and whingeing white trash who are the “gimme people” – it is the rich, powerful, and connected who mostly have both hands in the government till.

      Has always been thus … the US is built on crony capitalism, from Wall Street to Main Street.

    Interesting video. Sure looks like Obamagate has legs. It’s astonishing to observe these monsters ( Democratic Party) trying to blow up the Trump presidency even in the final weeks of the Obama presidency. One can see the chickens are headed home to roost. Obama was all style and no substance. Too glib and vanity on display every time he opened his mouth. The father of virtue signalling.

    • wpa_ccc May 12, 2020 at 1:25 pm #

      Obamagate has no legs. Trump is desperately trying to deflect attention from his confused and faltering response to the pandemic, as the US death toll tops 80,000 and the economy suffers the worst job losses since the Great Depression.

      • snagglepuss May 12, 2020 at 1:49 pm #

        Respectfully, I don’t see Trump trying to deflect attention from anything as he unfortunately has to spend his time responding to daily attacks from the press who are very selective about which stories they cover or headlines they choose to put forth. They don’t think or act independently, that is obvious. Covid-19 is a worldwide, unprecedented virus. Trump isn’t responsible for any of it. Every country is suffering, and reaction to it has been primarily the responsibility of States, most of which are acting independently.
        Almost every country has taken the same measures. I hope Trump gets re-elected in the fall. Pretty sure it will happen because Biden doesn’t stand a chance. The accusation against him is just the beginning. Guys like him always have lots of skeletons in the closet and it will all come out this summer. Orange Man is going to go down as one of the greatest Presidents of all time.

        You must admit however ,,, white people in Murrica have a bit of form on this front right through history, and up to very recently.

        I agree that the media can go over-the-top on this stuff, and mayors can say things that stretch … but still … a young black guy gets killed – and it’s only because there’s some video footage that the case has got publicity.

        There have been untold lynchings in the past – but no video footage, and of course no justice.

        And Trump definitely blows the old race dog-whistle every time he speaks. He doesn’t have to make it up either … he actually thinks like the good ole boys out there with their tatts and beards and confederate flags.

          Are you assuming all those Blacks who got lynched were innocent of raping or murdering? Why? Bet most of them were guilty as charged. It was simply the System back then and there, flawed as it no doubt was.

    Flynn was National Security Advisor elect, of course he will talk to the Russian ambassador. –JohnAZ

    We only have one president at a time. Before Trump was inaugurated, he was not president. Trump had no power to appoint a National Security Advisor. Flynn was a civilian. He had no authority to speak with Russian ambassadors. Flynn violated many laws. Flynn pleaded guilty to lying. He can still be prosecuted for his violation of a federal criminal statute, the Logan Act, by acting as if he were NSA when we already had an official NSA whose term was active. There is no such thing as an NSA-elect.

    Trump isn’t responsible for any of it. Every country is suffering

    The USA is ranked 131 out of 140 countries in poor response. Almost the worst response to the virus in the world. Trump is responsible for not responding in January, saying everything was fine, everything under control, letting the virus run rampant for eight weeks. Trump is responsible for American deaths and for the economic collapse.

    Other countries have federal governments that support local government responses. We have a chief executive who is directly undermining the state and country public health responses. That makes Trump responsible. I will take appropriate, legal, and nonviolent action on Nov. 3.

      • wpa_ccc May 12, 2020 at 5:42 pm #

        • JohnAZ May 12, 2020 at 6:33 pm #

          Your ignorance is amazing at times.

          Testing would not have changed one single thing about the onslaught. Testing does nothing at all. The reason tests were short on supply was there was no reason for them until the pandemic. Tests do nothing. This virus would have spread no matter how many tests were run until the shut downs happened. And for your information, with the shutdowns AND lots of testing, the bug is still spreading.

          WHO is the source of the problem. Their declarations at the onset on the virus protecting China put the rest of the world, not just Trump, at ease when they declared it wasn’t transmittable between people. The politicos in the US went back to their favorite game, Frame the President. If it wasn’t for Trump taking the lead and stopping the Chinese from bringing more virus to the US, and then the same for Europe, we would have many more cases and death than we do. So in reality, Trump has saved many lives by acting when no one else did.

          Too bad your Trump hating statement about Trump is so full of crap that no one takes you seriously. Your statement is ludicrous.

      Oh I saw Donnie Darko in there. I love that movie.

      • Janos Skorenzy May 12, 2020 at 3:36 pm #

        Did you find any moral in the story? I don’t think I ever did. Just very original weirdness and of course a nod to the reality of prophecy, albeit in a very strange form. Donnie and this girlfriend were a very funny couple though. I loved the way she surrendered to every one of his bizarre ideas like a good girlfriend does.

        • SoftStarLight May 12, 2020 at 5:04 pm #

          Well I guess it isn’t the most profound moral if you will. But. I felt like it was also giving a nod to trusting your instincts and trying to learn from patterns. And also acting without regretting because you don’t know what’s going to happen in the next second really. Even if your instincts are bringing you to a strange place it doesn’t mean that they aren’t valid in other words. But in some ways I also felt like there was an underlying nihilism and darkness to the movie too. Like some of the realities of our world. Like death.

    Obamagate Dismissed … Interviewee on Fox News:

    “I’m sitting here trying to figure out what exactly constitutional deprivation there was? What is the crime that people think Barack Obama and Joe Biden are going to be prosecuted under?” Moss posited.

    “To be clear, and this is using the words of President Trump and his lawyers over the last three years, any sitting president can get any classified information they want. According to Donald Trump they can launch any investigation they want, they can tell the FBI only to pursue particular individuals.

    This is not me saying it, this is Donald Trump saying it for three years.”

    “This was their argument during the Mueller probe. This was their argument during the impeachment investigation, that the President has this kind of authority,” Moss continued.

    “So what did we find out? That Barack Obama was aware about intelligence intercepts on the Russian Ambassador when he was talking with General Flynn? That there had just been an attack on our election a couple months earlier, that we were still dealing with the fallout of Russian election interference in 2016? There was concern about a counterintelligence problem with Michael Flynn and they had a discussion?”

    “I’m shocked,” Moss said, sarcastically. “I can’t believe they had that conversation.”

    “What is the crime?” he added, destroying the entire fake Obamagate scandal in just four words.

    Bream appeared a bit stunned by Moss’s analysis.

    She quickly ended the segment.

    Perhaps children we can put Obamagate to bed 🙂

    Apparently there’s an economic incentive to report deaths as due to covid-19, where hospitals get money for each case so they’re attributing anyone who died with any covid-like symptom as a covid victim. This would explain the high numbers of American deaths compared to the rest of the world. No one turns everything into a money-making hustle like Americans.

    Watching CNBC.

    They just reported that some of the rest-opened states have increased cases By 50%, and others 25%.

    Fake news, I looked up the twelve states I have been following and the daily update shows just the opposite, about half the states are on a gradual downward trend, the other half shows a gradual upward trend or steady state. Every one of the states is showing a steady state situation that they are settling towards which does not fit the surge model of the experts in DC. ?? What would cause a steady stream of cases day to day?

    The alarmists so far are wrong after a week of opening. No change on any of the 12 states I am watching, if anything a slight downtrend.

    Arizona, Colorado, California, Texas, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Florida, Georgia, Washington, Michigan, Maryland.

    Flynn will be free shortly and will infuriate the Dems when he is working for Trump again.

    The last time Flynn worked for Trump he lasted 24 days before Trump fired him. We’ll see how long he lasts… unless Judge Sullivan rejects the DOJ dropping charges. If Sullivan goes ahead with sentencing, we will see Flynn in prison, where he, as a traitor to the United States, belongs.

    Aesop – Impanel a Jury and Find a Stout Oak Tree

    And Dumbocrats were ready to ditch Dopey Gropey Joe, and try to nominate this @$$clown??
    (NYFC) Gov. Andrew Cuomo [D-Five Families] has finally admitted — tacitly and partially, anyway — the mistake that was state health chief Howard Zucker’s order that nursing homes must admit coronavirus-positive patients.
    On Sunday, Cuomo announced a new regulation: Such patients must now test negative for the virus before hospitals can return them to nursing homes. Yet the gov also admitted that COVID-19 cases might still go to the facilities via other routes, and didn’t explicitly overrule Zucker’s March 25 mandate that homes must accept people despite their testing status — indeed, couldn’t even require a test pre-admission.
    Make that murderous @$$clown.

    Tiptoeing quietly away from the scene of the crime, especially after revelations that somewhere approaching half of all NYFS COVID deaths were in nursing homes, after you foisted infectious patients into such a vulnerable population, are what legal scholars and beat detectives both call “consciousness of guilt”.

    There should be indictments for criminal negligence and depraved indifference there. One jackhole governor probably caused more deaths than two wars in the Middle East, in as many months.

    Proving once again that when you put communists in charge, their first instinct is to start pushing citizens into the wood chippers.
    As always.

    Big Winner: Shrillary.
    Just like Jimmy Peanut heaved a monstrous sigh of relief after the Obozo administration, when peanut-brain suddenly became only the second worst president in U.S. history, the personal body count of Shrillary and the Clinton Family Crime Syndicate has now, nearly overnight, dropped to being only the second-worst place in the Dumbocrat Party all time score list.

    BTW, a related item:
    8/10. RTWT.
    Why only 8/10?

    Read Item 6 in that post. Then look at the story above again.
    Nursing home administrators are slightly higher than pond scum, in many cases. But when their hands were tied by the CCCP-NY, it’s much clearer where the problem – and culpability – lies.

    Re: Item 3:
    This was an average bad flu season – except in just two months, not a year.
    And this problem isn’t over yet; you’re teeing up Round Two, as we speak, and you’re liable to see triple the score of the first two months by the end of the year.
    You’ll get the economy rolling, yes, and that’s good.
    But TANSTAAFL.
    You wanted to trade a return to a functioning economy, in exchange for the certainty of more Kung Flu deaths. You’ll get your wish, and pay that bill. Darwin always gets his due.
    Soft-soaping that is beyond retarded.

    There is going to be a price, in lives, for any action you take. Suck it up, buttercup.
    You asked for it, and you’re going to get it. Put on your Big Girl panties and deal with it, but stop pretending it’s going to be consequence-free.

    As for the other points: clear outta the park. See for yourself.

    Highlight Item 4 in yellow highlighter, then underline it in red ink.
    We’ve only been telling you that one for 6 years, so far.
    That’s why we’ve been telling you about this all along.
    Unfuck yourselves, as necessary.

Without the help of grassroots supporters like you, we wouldn’t have been able to build the robust infrastructure that we have in place today. From overhauling our tech and data systems to investing in tough-to-win battleground states, the DNC is poised to aggressively take on Donald Trump and the GOP this cycle.

    Nobody really knows what the covid numbers will be over the next couple of months, but this is certainly a possibility:

    https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/live-blog/2020-05-12-coronavirus-news-n1204961

    Trump chose to gamble on an earlier reopen, a gamble maybe not so risky, keeping in mind the fact that the shutdown could go on maybe what, three-four weeks longer at most? Then what happens?

    Yes, money for nuthin’, the covid for free. Remember the 2008-9 unprecedented bailout territory. If that was unprecedented, this is extremely extraordinary on top of it. The economic effects are still unrealized.

    In addition to all of this, Trump will have to deal with a SCOTUS decision on his financial records, coming this summer. Even if it goes against him, and he has something to hide, which I’d give 3-1 odds that he does, he’ll have to somehow delay revelation until after the election. That’s another issue. How will the election itself be affected by the covid? Mail ins, voting booths? Covid will also affect any Barr prosecution of the Dems.

    Hopefully the voter turnout numbers will be much, much greater than the covid case numbers. I don’t think Trump will get 60M+ again. The offset is lack of turnout for dull, defective Biden.

    Biden or Trump. The deadwood duo of despair. But don’t worry. Trump says we’ll be roaring back 4th quarter and in 2021. More growth. More. And more. Even Biden, the buzzard of bore, will bomb us with more and more.

    “Just over the horizon a great machine of death is roaring and rearing. One can hear it always. Earthquake, starvation, the ever-
    renewing field of corpse-flesh.”

    The ‘N95’ designation means that when subjected to careful testing, the respirator blocks at least 95 percent of very small (0.3 micron) test particles. If properly fitted, the filtration capabilities of N95 respirators exceed those of face masks. However, even a properly fitted N95 respirator does not completely eliminate the risk of illness or death.

    FDA.Gov

    1 micron = 1000 nanometers
    1 micron = 1/1000 of a millimeter

    Coronavirus is 125 microns in diameter or .125 nanometers

    The N95 mask can stop 95% of foreign bodies down to .300 nanometers. In other words, it cannot stop Corvid19. Our Corvid is too small for it. The only protection? Hazmat suits I assume.

    Throw away your masks, they are useless except to stop from killing other people if they are too close to you. Why are they so close? Maybe that is.

            You’re falling behind again. Trump is ahead of you and is dissociating himself from claims regarding hydroxychloroquine.

            And it can be very harmful. It is known to cause serious heart rhythm problems.

            It’s OK to espouse something despite Trump’s no-evidence endorsement. Espousing it because of Trump’s no-evidence endorsement is a riskier gamble.

          • GreenAlba May 15, 2020 at 8:49 am #

            It is NOT entirely safe. It is relatively safe but has significant potential side effects, especially for people already vulnerable to them (i.e. including those already very sick, but not with malaria).

            Serious (though rare) adverse reactions include ophthalmological, cardiomyopathy and QT prolongation, haematological, and neurological and neuromuscular reactions.

            The fact remains that it was tested on US vets – Covid patients – in hospital (not the first time they’ve been used as guinea pigs, I’m sure) and a higher proportion of the vets who were given hydroxychloroquine died than of those who were given standard treatments. Hence, Trump has stopped trumpeting it. He likes being associated with success.

            Very few significant medications are entirely safe, so it’s a dumb expression to use in the context. Low IQ, possibly. Hence long lists of contraindications and potential side effects on leaflets, which are not principally there to protect you but to protect the pharma company from litigation.

    And here is a bit of good news.

    112 people shot in Chicago so far in this month of May, 98% joggers. SOME OF THE SHOOTERS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED WEARING MASKS AND GLOVES AND HAVE MAINTAINED THE PROPER SOCIAL DISTANCING SPACE OF 6′ BEFORE SQUEEZING OFF A ROUND.

    Likewise, masks and gloves being worn by dealers standing on street corners. Progress is being made.

    Bu no doubt Rashawn Smith was also a gud boy, jus about to get his life together and shit. Probably about to go to College and then play in the NBA.

          Then there’s the pure trolls, like HigIQwl (whose posts are there only for his glorification as he sees it at least)

          But there are people with something to say. JohnAZ (despite his prejudices regarding anything ‘socialist’) does not fit the nutjob category; TS is a sound arguer of reality (despite the ‘slip’ you found so disqualifying); BRH has a laugh and Pucker distracts very engagingly.

    SSL: I think we were wrong. Check out what Anglin has to say about the armed protesters. Not the Hannity is so great – in fact I think he’s going to be increasingly useless as time goes on. But facts are facts: If you act like this, it’s On. Put up or shut up. Now a 2nd Amendment protest is something else. The last big one was very well organized with permits, and everyone kept their cool, etc. Great optics. Unloaded weapons I believe, etc. But not for opening up.

    Anglin:

    Last week, I called for all of my readers to attend the anti-lockdown protests. If there are none in your area, organize one yourself.

    One reader responded by saying he was afraid that he would be killed at a protest.

    He wrote:

    I don’t know, bud. In Odessa, TX (which is HARD people) the badge niggers rolled up in an APC with a cop top mounted with a rifle telling the protestors not to move their hands and keep them where they can see them. One of those dudes reaches in his jacket for a cig and they’ll get lit up like a bunch of Hajis at a goat BBQ. The cops are in hair trigger finger mode right now.

    People are going to start getting killed at these protests.

    That was a situation where a woman who owned a bar posted on Facebook that she wanted men with guns to come stand outside of her bar while it opened against the lockdown order.

    AP:

    A bar owner and armed protesters were arrested in western Texas after the bar reopened despite the governor’s orders to remain closed as the state continues to combat the coronavirus pandemic.

    Ector County Sheriff Mike Griffis told the Odessa American that authorities on Monday apprehended Gabrielle Ellison, the 47-year-old owner of Big Daddy Zane’s Bar, in West Odessa for violating Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s order that prohibits drinking establishments from opening until mid-May.

    Six men who had loaded “AR-15 type weapons” were also arrested for possessing firearms on a licensed property, Griffis said, adding that one observer was detained for interfering with a peace officer’s duties.

    These guys were all dressed up like Billy Badass.

    So of course the cops came with weapons drawn to arrest them. When you arrest people who have firearms, you do so with your guns drawn. I assume everyone is aware of this fact, and the reasons for it are self-explanatory.

    The men put their hands up, and surrendered.

    Not such HARD people now, huh?

    What was the point of the guns? If you go out with guns, the implication is that you’re ready for a shootout with the cops. There is nothing more dumb and pathetic than bringing out your rifles and all your gear, pretending you’re ready for a shootout with the cops, then getting arrested and saying “yes officer” when you’re told to put your gun on the ground.

    The only thing that would have been dumber is if they got in a shootout with the cops. But at least then you would have understood why they brought guns. In this situation, you have literally no idea. It is just baffling and bizarre.

    If you weren’t ready for a shootout with the police, why did you bring a gun? What is the purpose of having the gun?

    No one knows and these Facebook people have never explained it.

    But it is an obvious fact that the guns serve no clear purpose, and it is further obvious that you weaken your protest by having guns. You make yourself less sympathetic, and you look less serious.

    Presumably, the only possible explanation is this: they wanted to look cool. But was looking cool worth getting arrested and getting the bar shut down – given that the cops probably would have ignored the opening if the woman hadn’t posted on Facebook that she had armed people guarding her, implying she was planning a shootout with the cops?

    This is what the sheriff said:

    “I understand their side of it,” said Griffis. “Defying the governor’s orders is one thing, but when you bring a bunch of armed vigilantes in from other parts of the state for a show of force, I just got a problem with that.”

    He was sympathetic to them. He probably would have refused to close the bar. But by bringing guns, they forced his hand.

    This kind of self-sabotage is inherent in all of these “armed protests.” It is prioritizing looking cool and getting your picture on a news website above the protest itself.

    I do think the sentiment of the reader, who claimed that he wouldn’t attend a protest because he is so scared, is inexcusable cowardice, and I think if that is how you feel right now, you need to go ahead and drop out, because resisting this government is not going to get any easier from here on out. You definitely don’t need to be posting on websites to spread your cowardice to others. That kind of fear is infectious, and it is the very last thing we need right now at the very beginning of this.

    However, this fear-post does bring attention to the issue of armed protests, which I was obviously not talking about, and his own fear is likely shared by a lot of normal people, which is yet another reason these armed protests are so retarded. Bringing guns to a protest absolutely does raise the level of danger involved for literally no reason.

    People have been bringing guns to anti-lockdown protests across the country.

    Most notably, they brought guns into the Michigan capitol.

    Another armed protest took place in North Carolina over the weekend.

    Travis Long
    @vizjourno
    A group of about 11 mostly-armed demonstrators protesting the stay at home order marched around downtown Raleigh and ordered sandwiches at a Subway. #Covid_19 #ncpol #MealTeamSix

    I am baffled by the fact that so many people seem to look at these people as if this is somehow normal.

    It is not normal.

    It is inexplicable.

    This “bring your AR-15 to a protest” thing started with Facebook groups. There is no history of this in America, or anywhere else. The first instance of it that I can find was during Obama’s first term, at a protest that was organized on Facebook. But it didn’t really become a popular thing before the last few years.

    We have a long history of passionate protests in this country, and we have never brought guns to these protests.

    Only the modern, totally emasculated man could ever think up something like bringing guns to a protest against a government lockdown. It’s a way for men who feel powerless to feel powerful. It’s sad that the modern man is so pathetic he has to resort to this kind of queer gimmickry, but we currently have bigger problems to deal with.

    In the gun safety classes that most Americans still go through as kids, the very first thing you learn is this: “never point your gun at someone unless you plan to shoot them, never shoot someone unless you plan to kill them.” This same children’s lesson can be applied to bringing a gun outside of your house: “never bring a gun somewhere unless you might have to use it.”

    This Creates Astonishing Risks
    The message these people are sending by bringing rifles to protests is that they might have to shoot the cops. This is so insane that it’s difficult to even qualify. If one of these men fired on cops inside of the Michigan capitol building, this is what would happen:

    The cops would fire back, killing everyone who was holding a gun and presumably killing many others as well.
    Everyone associated with “armed protest” groups, everyone who had ever commented on the Facebook pages of these groups using their real name, would be rounded up that night and sent to federal detention.
    Protests would be declared illegal.
    The government would announce that there is a “right-wing terrorist movement” and that the government is hunting them. There would continue to be mass arrests for the foreseeable future.
    Gun control legislation would be rushed through, and people would be ordered to hand over their weapons.
    There would be door-to-door gun confiscations of anyone who is known to own or is suspected to own an AR-15 style rifle.
    The media would hype all of this up as totally necessary, and the people would go along with it.

    Everyone who thinks about this knows that I’m right. Something like this scenario I’ve outlined would have happened before the lockdown, but now that we’re in the lockdown and people’s rights have already been removed, it would just be the most brutal thing you can imagine, where before you can blink you hear someone shoot your dog and your door is getting kicked in by a fed SWAT team.

    What allowing these freaks at protests also means is that a fed can very easily sneak in a provocateur and cause all of those events I listed to happen.

    This Guarantees You’re the First One Raided
    These are the stakes that these people are creating by bringing guns to these protests. The benefits of it are completely unclear. If they’re not planning on shooting anyone, then why do they have guns?

    The answer some people who haven’t really thought this through will give is that they are showing that they will fight at some point in the future “if it comes down to it.” Firstly, I don’t know what “if it comes down to it” means. Secondly, there is not one serious person in the country who is planning to fight a war against the government who would show up at a protest carrying their weapon like this.

    Anyone who shows up at one of these protests carrying a gun is going to be put on a list. Their face is going to be run through a database, they will be identified, and they will be the first people raided by the feds if any kind of civil unrest begins. They will have their guns taken and they will be detained indefinitely.

    If you were actually the type of person who is planning to resist the government in the future after some undefined “line” is crossed, the very last thing you would ever do is show up at a protest holding a rifle.

    As we can now see that this lockdown is part of a larger agenda of the federal government, there is clearly an eventuality where they do preemptively seize the weapons of people they think are likely to give them trouble. These retards put themselves at the top of that list.

    Organizing a war against the government is fundamentally retarded on the face of it, but the idea that when the government sends a SWAT team to confiscate your guns you’re going to make a stand and fight back is beyond retarded. These people will put their hands up and surrender, or they will be shot dead. There is a good chance they will be shot dead either way. Their dogs won’t even have a chance.

    Having Armed Men Present Greatly Diminishes the Effectiveness of These Protests
    I don’t think all the people doing this are feds. I think a lot of them are legitimate retards, who simply don’t know why they’re doing it, other than that it makes them feel like real big men. But as I’ve said, this concept came from Facebook groups, and I believe it is feds in these groups that are promoting this idiocy.

    The media is now defining lockdown protests by these gun people, which virtually all people recognize as anti-social weirdos. Even though it’s not even 1% of protesters that are carrying guns, all of these protests are labeled “armed protests.” So a normal person who simply wants to show that they are fed up with this lockdown is not able to do so. These armed protesters take away the rights of all of us to protest normally. A normal man’s only option is to be grouped in with these insecure weirdos who are using the protests as a platform to boost their self-esteem.

    This is effectively neutering the entire protest movement. It not only allows the media and people like Gretchen Whitmer to frame the protesters as unhinged kooks, but also keeps away normal people who would otherwise attend.

    Imagine if homosexuals showed up to these protests in BDSM gear, and even though there were only a handful of people in BDSM gear at the protests, the media only ever showed people in BDSM gear and referred to the protests as “homosexual BDSM protests against the lockdown.”

    That would certainly change the tone of the protests, right? It would certainly limit who would want to attend, right?

    And still, it would not be nearly as bad as what we have now with these “armed protesters,” because you can’t shoot someone with a leather mask.

    Most people do not want to be grouped in with these army dress-up people. I don’t know what message they are trying to send, because they don’t say what message they’re trying to send and don’t appear to have even thought about it. The message appears to be that they will shoot at cops who try to break up their protest, but as we saw above, they will lay down their weapons and get arrested. Most people probably aren’t aware that they will lay down their guns and get arrested, as they are armed to the teeth looking like they are ready for a war.

    This is not something that people want to bring their families to. Everyone understands that this creates an extremely volatile situation, regardless of what the ostensible message is. Allowing these freaks to come and shit all over these protests by bringing rifles and playing army dress-up limits their appeal, massively. That is obviously why they are there, whether they know it or not.

    This is Not Some “Midwestern” or “Southern” Tradition
    I just want to stress again, for those that are maybe confused about this: there is no history of “armed protests.” It developed during the Obama era, and it is a result of the loss of masculinity, where broken men are looking for an opportunity to feel like real men. It’s no different than a little boy dressing up like a soldier.

    I am from the Midwest and I grew up around guns. I am not in any way uncomfortable with guns. Having grown up around guns, I also know that they’re not toys and that you don’t go out in full military gear unless you’re going to war. Just watch those guys lay down their guns and surrender to the cops, and then try to explain to me what the purpose of this is.

    Someone asked me when I would feel it was appropriate to bring a gun to a protest, and the answer is so obvious that it hurts: it would be appropriate to bring a gun to a protest if you were planning on refusing arrest and getting into a shootout with the police. That is obviously an insane action, which no one should ever do. But that is the only time coming to a protest armed would ever make sense.

    You’re Not Scaring Anyone, You’re Only Hurting America
    The government is not afraid of some retard with an AR-15. What the government is afraid of is hundreds of thousands of people being out on the street, demanding the government give the people back their freedom.

    You could have millions of people on the street in the future. The sky is the limit. When people figure out what the government has done, collapsing the economy like this over a hoax, they are going to be outraged. What these gun people do is make all normal people question whether they want to be a part of the protest. That is why feds go into Facebook groups and encourage low IQ people, who have no idea what is even going on, to go to these protests and bring their guns.

    It is inexcusable what these people are doing, damaging this rising movement by chasing people away from it. We have to address this. If these people want to have army dress-up protests, they should have their own protests somewhere outside of the normal American protests, by normal people who simply want their freedoms.

    The government cannot stop millions of people. There are a whole lot more of us than there are of them. We can bring down this system peacefully if we can get millions of people on our side. Conversely, we cannot possibly fight the government with guns. So the only possible solution is a peaceful solution. These gun people are damaging our ability to do that. They are hurting America for their own selfish purposes of wanting to feel like big badass soldiers.

    Spread This Information, Tell the People
    These protests are not being organized by people who are carrying guns. The issue is that white people are nice, and they don’t want to tell someone off if they think they might have good intentions. We need to spread awareness of the fact that these people do not have good intentions. They are putting everyone at these protests at risk of being killed by cops. More importantly, they are damaging the entire movement. They are setting us all up for potential mass gun confiscation.

    We are doing something very serious with these protests, and we should not allow these weird people to turn it into a stupid kids’ game. You all need to go to these protests, you need to tell the organizers what I’ve written here and you need to get them to agree to ban gun people. They can of course come anyway, you can’t keep them out, but if people understand that they are hurting these protests for their own selfish reasons, they will shout them down and tell them to go home, or go have their own protest somewhere else.

    Readers should also be organizing their own protests, using Facebook or whatever other methods, and including in their own rules that these army dress-up people are not welcome. Eventually, an understanding of this will spread, and these people will stop showing up, and people who are encouraging this will be looked at with increased scrutiny.

    Normies know the word “plant,” so you might want to use that in your statements to the organizers about these armed protesters. The organizers and attendees of these rallies are already saying that the virus is a hoax designed to take everyone’s rights away, so they’re not going to have a hard time buying the fact that the government is encouraging people to bring guns to these rallies as a way to sabotage them, and potentially create a shootout.

    As always, you’re welcome to copy anything I’ve written here without attribution, and do whatever you wish with it.

    JS: If it does ever come to War, God forbid, at least in the early phases (which might last a long time), it will be a guerilla war. And all these guys are now registered in one way or another, at least facially.
    So they’re Out. More importantly and right now, it’s bad optics since we have the moral high ground on this, including lots of potential Liberals and more and more as time goes on if we don’t blow it. Anglin is a master of optics and tactics. He doesn’t really know which way to go, since everything crashed after Cville. So not so much long term strategy. He has Vision, and it’s a great one. He knows where he wants to go, but not how to get there. But he knows what works in the short term – and what doesn’t.

      His arguments make sense. At this point I have no doubt that the government is actively putting plants in these sorts of protests to aggravate the situation. And there are silly non serious people who will definitely attend these protests for reasons other than genuinely protesting the illegitimate medical police state. It’s an extraordinarily dangerous moment because these rabid control freaks in office will most certainly use any excuse to take more power. Its a frustrating and scary place to be. But I think he is right that there is an opportunity and possibility for us because so many people are beginning to see through the official fog of distraction. Peaceful but mass protests. That will only grow from here once people realize there was never any intention of going back to normal in the first place.

        A couple of years ago during the stand off at the Mahleur National Park, the cowboys were prepared to go for it and the police did back off. Maybe they realized they had pushed them too far or maybe they were ordered to. People got sick of the SWAT types sticking guns in their faces day in, day out, for weeks.

        Not my folks. I hardly understand the ins and outs of it, very rural concerns of Great Basin ranching. They were called racists, but that’s par for the course. The old Man was a Mormon married to a mestizo Mexican lady. Patriots I assume, but not White Nationalists.

        A beautiful image: the Cowboys on horseback bowed their heads in prayer with their hats in their hands, ready to advance on the Feds and to be slaughtered, but they might have gotten a few of them in return.

        And the Feds got their revenge sometime later, assassinating one of the Leaders. Most of the charges were dropped against mostly all of the protesters, but the Feds were never brought to justice.

      Normies know the word “plant,” so you might want to use that in your statements to the organizers about these armed protesters. The organizers and attendees of these rallies are already saying that the virus is a hoax designed to take everyone’s rights away, so they’re not going to have a hard time buying the fact that the government is encouraging people to bring guns to these rallies as a way to sabotage them, and potentially create a shootout.”

      Your hero sure knows his market – clearly, he understands that one may convince them of ANYTHING, as long as one is sufficiently strident.

    Part Two of Martin Van Crevold’s magisterial five part essay on the Evils of Feminism and it’s inevitable downfall. The reaction will be equally ferocious – think the Handmaid’s tale. But remember, having sex with your wife’s handmaid on your wife’s knees is just so she can claim it’s her child. We’ll be able to have all the milk, house, and field maids we want without going thru that uncomfortable and awkward process. The movie did not do the Full Vision, justice. Sad!

        Looking into British and Australian massacre of Aborigines, was going to list them, but there’s not enough bandwidth to fit them in. Beginning in 1788, continuing till 1960. 1960! Pages and pages of massacres, tens of thousands of dead Aborigines. One site had a ‘Massacre Map’. Nevertheless, I think I’ll begin listing one or two a day, number of murdered Aborigines, details (shot, poisoned etc) dates etc. If I list them all I should finish up around the year 2025. Stand bye.

          Looking into British and Australian massacre of Aborigines …

          You’re talking complete bulldust … but of course I’m not surprised.

          From the date of settlement of the colony of New South Wales (26 January 1788) it was decreed that all the Aboriginal Peoples on the continent were thereby subjects of the King of England.

          As a consequence, there was never any official policy from the colonial government to exterminate Indigenous People … in fact the killing of blacks could lead to you being hanged.

          There have never been wars or deliberate extermination policies against Australia’s Aboriginal People … but of course some hundreds of thousands were killed by pioneers and other rogues.

          Don’t forget the Abos Quigley was hired to take down with his Sharps. Hunting Abos was the term I believe.

          Matthew Quigley’s gun was a replica model 1874 Sharps Buffalo Rifle, built by Shiloh Rifles of Montana. They are chambered in .45-110, which is a .45 caliber bullet propelled by 110 grains of black powder. This round was the most accurate and powerful in the world until the advent of smokeless gunpowders.

      I understand that no-one in the US knows where “Europe” is, and couldn’t find it on a big map, but some of us in the real world do know these things.

      Anyway, in a small town that usually has six deaths in a month, there has just been 251 … this is a tragedy, but you RWNJ couldn’t give a flying f*ck, because the re-election of a total nut-job is the only thing you think about.

          And plenty of my relations – at both my grandfather’s level and my father’s level – fought in WWI and WWII. Australia was involved in both these conflicts for years and years before the Yanks turned up.

          And in fact if the Japanese hadn’t been so flippin’ stupid as to bomb Pearl Harbor, you might never have turned up at all.

            .Seems they were a day late to the fight with Japan in WWII
            Not that WIKI is all knowing but there’s this.”
            .
            Australia separately declared war against Finland, Hungary and Romania on 8 December 1941 and against Japan the next day.[37]

            The shock of the United Kingdom’s defeat in Asia in 1942 and the threat of Japanese invasion caused Australia to turn to the United States as a new ally and protector.[105]

      Obviously a lot of people have died, and a lot of jobs have turned to dust, but I think it’s a strategic mistake to blame Trump for these evils.

      To beat Trump at the election he should be called out for all his years of corruption … it’s plenty to nail him … I think it would be a real mistake to attack him on jobs and the economy, when he can so easily blame the virus for that. My view, anyway.

          I’m not sure that’s right. There are currently no federal charges against Trump, as far as I know, and therefore there is no legal requirement that he release his tax returns.

          The current legal argument at SCOTUS is whether Congress can demand the tax returns of a president, for whatever legislative (or oversight) reason they might have.

          I actually side with Trump here – his tax returns are nobody’s effing business … if you don’t like my financial status, then don’t vote for me on 23 Nov, but otherwise but out.

          And conversely, if you want to see my tax returns, then charge me with something that requires their disclosure, but until then you can bugger off.

          • Majella May 13, 2020 at 7:11 am #

            Cargill, charges come AFTER an investigation. This is the whole point here – getting access to potential evidence. It’s Himself’s right to resist that process, but it’s also the NY State’s right to pursue records in order to investigate. It’s come to this in 3 cases, all upheld by lower courts.

            And good luck to you in ‘Straya, trying to stop the AFP getting at your records if they wanted them.

          • Majella May 13, 2020 at 7:18 am #

            The NY State case is suspicion of money-laundering. The State AG would not be pursuing this without good & sound evidence.

            The State AG is now seeking corroborative or exculpatory evidence in that case.

            The only place that can be found is in tax records. Ipso facto ->subpoena, -> refusal, ->courts upheld, ->appealed, -> SCOTUS

    Turns out it might have been the Spanish flu that killed TR in 1919, and precipitated the stroke that debilitated Woodrow Wilson for the last 2 years of his presidency.

    It’s odd, when you read accounts of that era, the end of WW1, the Versaille Treaty, the League of Nations founding, the death of President Harding (also perhaps flu related) the Spanish flu gets mentioned but doesn’t loom very large despite killing 50 million people, including 675,000 Americans. That may have to change, knowing what we know now.

      Isn’t Woodrow Wilson the President who sold America out to the Illuminati Federal Reserve? He even wrote a lament about it if my memory is correct. Why the Federal Reserve, the United Nations, and other such foreign and dangerous institutions have not been completely dismantled and removed from the fact of the Earth is just totally beyond me.

        Hey SSL I think your predictions of a New Ice Age are coming true. Its mid May and we were scraping frost off the windshield this morning. We can forget about planting anything.

            Same here. As soon as I opened the bathroom window I sent an angry letter to the University of East Anglia’s climate research team to complain about their hoax and ask them how they were going to reverse a mass fantasy before we all started believing in leprechauns too. Leprechauns of a globally average green.

            Then I sent it to all the Scientific Institutes in the world who accept AGW, but that took a while because it was, you know, all of them.

            Same thing happened when I was walking along in the sunshine but had to cross the road to the shady side where the hoax and mass fantasy stood out more. I had to cross the road a few times so it was a very confusing morning.

          Video from various sources appears to show armed Black Panthers on Monday walking through the very Brunswick, Georgia, neighborhood where Ahmaud Arbery was shot and killed in late February.

          WTOC 11 reports that the Black Panthers were joined by members of a black motorcycle club, both of whom were protesting Arbery’s death.

    There isn’t any intention among many politicians and “Elite” generally to reopen the economy fully or to return to any sort of pre-covid normal. For the entire Democrat wing that is basically the case. And many Republicans happily follow after. They were never going to be able to implement Agenda 21, Agenda 2030, etc., if people continued to live they way they were before the lockdowns. Now that the lockdowns have occurred and millions upon millions have been wiped out financially and have become government wards overnight the Elite have much greater power over the masses to actually implement these Illuminati agendas. The excuse of the coronavirus and the willing participation of the masses in the agenda may ensure that the Elite get exactly what they want. Which ironically will include a culling of those supportive masses. So in the end it doesn’t matter if the disease is real, fake, or whatever. The plan is to get rid of you one way or another.

    It’s really pissing me off, major players still publishing these utterly bogus deathrates…WHO says 7% of cases. They know this is UTTER FUCKING BULLSHIT. that the uncounted infections are 50, 75 times what theyre counting and the actual deathrate across the board is like 0.2%.This is the worst blatant public manipulation I’ve ever seen.

      Well, what’s your beef?

      With 4,374,914 cases and 294,414 deaths (13 May), in round figures that is a CFR of 7%. Both cases and deaths are almost certainly under-reported by far, but the WHO and others can only work with the data they have received, and in any case the ratio might still hold.

      No need to get upset.

    I’ve already upended Trent’s world by proving that the N95 masks cannot stop a determined Covid19 virus. John chimed in to say they did help though. But this person says they don’t, not anymore than any other kind of mask. I don’t know what to say. I assumed they would help too, more than other kinds of mask which in turn may have helped a little. It’s beyond my ken and expertise.

    Kudos to Trent for being able to do hills at age 68. He’s still going to die just like everyone else though. If not now, then at some other time. Hs disciples told Socrates that he didn’t have to take the poison now, he had all day! Some even waited to the Sun was low in the Western sky. So crates just smiled at their childishness, after he had bathed and had a nice talk with them, he drank.

    Socrates’ lived more vigorously than other men because he had access to Life. Once he stood perfectly still in the marketplace for a day and a night and another day, enraptured, caught up into one of the higher spheres. He returned, thanked the gods, and went his way.

      So then it is real. The face mask is the Satanist hijab. I guess in the end I’m not surprised that every piece of info gets turned on its head. This is the age of confusion and deception.

      And just like the hijab was invented so you could be disappeared, forgotten, and ignored, the covid face mask is disappearing the world we knew and all of our rights and our future.

        How tragic that we’ve all ignored and forgotten her in her disappearance.

        Why are you people so ignorant? It’s not like I even care about Islam but if someone accused you of wearing a face mask when you were wearing a straw hat, wouldn’t you think they were exceptionally dumb and wonder about their sources of information about pretty much anything? I even explained it to your beau upthread because he’s clueless as well.

        • Janos Skorenzy May 13, 2020 at 2:21 pm #

          You don’t care about Muslims – whom you champion constantly above your own people? I believe you. When the time comes to betray them as per the BBC (or any other mainstream media), you will do so.

          Just as Liberals here betrayed Blacks by favoring mass Hispanic immigration. Or just as you already have betrayed Gays by supporting mass Muslim immigration and refugee programs.

          • GreenAlba May 13, 2020 at 2:31 pm #

            You only think I champion them at all, let alone ‘above my own people’ because you don’t read anything I say.

            I have no interest in Islam or Muslims. The religion itself is bonkers. I happen to have a sprinkling of Muslim neighbours who don’t have the slightest iota of an effect on my life (but sell good spices at less than you pay in the supermarket), so as long as they don’t start tutting in the street when I go out without a head covering, which I think is highly unlikely, we will continue to co-exist in harmony and mutual lack of any particular interest. They even sell my husband beer.

            I don’t ‘support’ any kind of specific immigration as you describe. Most of the Muslims in this country – or rather their parents/grandparents – arrived around the same time I did, because they were previously colonised by this country.

            Look up the British Nationality Act of 1948 specifying the status of Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies.

    • GreenAlba May 13, 2020 at 2:00 pm #

      I’m willing to change my mind when reputable scientific information comes to the fore. I mean it’s not as if wearing a mask is even pleasant. But the Abstract in this case includes this:

      “Such recklessness is also certainly the case with the current global lockdown of over 1 billion people, an unprecedented experiment in medical and political history.”

      Recklessness? Certainty? And regarding a specific subject not even the topic of the supposed research?

      Real scientists just don’t talk like that. Propagandists do. It was the same with that early bogus Indian paper on Covid19 that was all over the interwebz. Actual scientists pointed out the emotional language in it simply wasn’t the way real scientists express themselves in research papers.

      On the other hand, if it’s ACTUALLY true, it seems that in view of this:

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs0hGe4ffC4&feature=youtu.be

      … if wearing a mask doesn’t decrease the distance these aerosol particles go, we can all stop doing stupid stuff like sneezing into paper hankies when we have a normal cold and just cough and sneeze over all our neighbours in the bus or in the office, knowing the hanky is just an invention of the Illuminati to cow the public into meaningless submissive behaviour.

      I’ll never look at a hanky the same way again. The shame…

      And it also means my husband is completely 100% unprotected when he sees patients so maybe I should sue somebody?

    • Janos Skorenzy May 13, 2020 at 2:02 pm #

      The virus is .125 microns in diameter. The N95 mask can only stop things .300 microns or bigger. You can use wikipedia and google to check these facts easily enough – or do you already know?

      As for ResearchGate, I admit I don’t know. They may be right. I admitted my lack of expertise above, just submitting the link for the inspection of the community.

      Back to the N95: so the mask can stop the water droplet which carries the virus. All well and good. But the droplet dries, the virus is freed, and may well be blown away by your next outbreath – or drawn into your mouth by your next inbreath. The systole and dystole of life; the roulette wheel of chance, the six chambered nautilus of death.

      • GreenAlba May 13, 2020 at 2:09 pm #

        You haven’t said anything new, Janos. We already know that wearing a mask doesn’t stop you getting the virus, as has been well explained earlier on this thread. If the infected person wears one, though, it seems that it reduces the number of people likely to be infected by an infected person coughing or sneezing because it limits the range of the droplets.

        Like I said, if you don’t think the mask could decrease the distance those droplets go, and maybe save a couple of vulnerable people in the shop or the bus from getting your virus, you’ll be happy to dispense with paper tissues in future when you’ve got a normal bad cold and just cough and sneeze all over your neighbours in the bus. Just tell them science. And trees. Or something.

If my lovely little brother, who spread more love in a week than you’ve probably ever spread in your lifetime, is burning in a fiery pit because of his honest inability to believe in your god, then your god is too evil to worship.

          ““Explained earlier on this threat” – yeah, by me.”

          Thread, not threat. And it was explained by me that, while the mask you wear won’t save you it will likely lessen the average number of people infected by you while unaware of any potential infection. Hence it relies on reciprocity, a singularly rare quality, it would seem, over your way.

          “How did we get along without these napkins on our face all this time!”

          I got on fine, principally because I was previously only likely to get an entirely harmless common cold or (much less likely) seasonal ‘flu, against which we have a vaccine effective enough to prevent the worst in most people.

          The rest of your post is lunatic fuckwittery which cannot be engaged with by a rational mind.

        I doubt that … you post very bad science all day every day, not for the “inspection of the community” but to aid the viral spread of anti-mask, anti-lockdown agendas and propaganda.

        You may genuinely believe there is an elite cabal of filthy rich Jews running the world … that’s your right … but don’t be surprised if others push back and call BS on all that time-worn and over-repeated conspiracy nuttery.

        And you do not have to quote the size of a coronavirus again! We are not brain-damaged (at least not all of us) … we got the message 15 times ago. Masks stop fluid droplets that contain the virus. The virus does not transmit on its own.

          By the time the droplet dries I’ll be back home from the shop and the mask will be carefully put aside for washing. For my long train journey I will take all the masks I have. But principally I will hope that everyone else is wearing a mask too, because I don’t feel all that lucky at the moment.

    Covid War – 82,548 Americans killed so far the majority being cause by lack of concern for fellow man.

    The number of Vietnamese killed in the Covid war so far is 288. I think that is called irony.

    The fact that Trolls for Trump even exist should give a thinking dog pause and if even a dog in 10 would think there would be a revolution. Barking would be altogether skipped. We don’t have time for it. Yet the orange scourge has defenders right here who with putrid filth filling their brain-pan and for mere kibbles; defend the Trump philosophy of death.

          Your justification is screwy. And wrong.

          After 2010, US life expectancy plateaued and in 2014 it began reversing, dropping for three consecutive years — from 78.9 years in 2014, to 78.6 in 2017. This is despite the US spending the most on health care per capita than any other country in the world.

            The actual effective dollars per person for say the poorest 200 million (where most premature deaths occur) might be well below that in comparable countries (Australia, Japan, Germany) that also have national health schemes.

        The lack of concern for the fellow men is originating with those same fellow men.

        The ignoring of the “science” of the virus situation shows how hopeless this situation really is.

        Could is be that the stupidification of the American public, especially the younger set, has been so successful that individual responsibility is no longer possible? No wonder the socialism set have made such big inroads.

    The kids would learn more by just staying home and reading a few books for the most part. But parents don’t like them very much and truth be told, they aren’t very likable since they weren’t liked to begin with.

    Trump should have struck today and fired the little monster. That was an opening. What the hell is he waiting for? Finish him.

      Dr Fauci is doing an excellent job … someone has to be the adult in the room, and counter the rants from the blowhard fat bull. Plus he easily chewed up and spat out the whinging from that little weasel (Ayn) Rand Paul.

      Tf there is a second wave after summer, then schools might have to stay closed … but some people just can;t handle the truth. Why fire Fauci? The virus will still be here … thanks entirely to the orange oaf.

    Well, ladies and germs;

    A bit of medical history. I’ve had both liver and bone biopsies in the past…both in military hospitals, without anesthetic. I had a broken leg (undiagnosed) by being hit by a car on duty. I’ve had a CAT scan, and have been both X-rayed and Ultraviolated. But today…today I have been STIMULATED!

    Yes, today we received a nice check from the Great Father in the East.

    Money from home,

    The Eagle has landed.

    What to spend it on? I cannot, off hand, even think of a current need… I only know I have to get rid of the god damned thing before the currency becomes…diluted. This is just the first check of many I am expecting…a Nigerian Prince will be sending me significant sums in the short term. Ed McMahon will be sending me greetings from Publishers clearing house….

    Remember the $500 everyone got back in 2008? Bought a 9N ford tractor with that. Now, I can buy almost five of them….

    Thank You Donald!

            In this case, it’s not the gift but its publication of the fact that I find repulsive…and then to double-down and post about it TWICE is really more than a little OTT, don’t you think?

            If *I* was just “putting the idea out there“, I’d probably frame it in such a way as to not self-glorify, at least.

            I’m surprised you didn’t think of it yourself, benr, because you’ve often mentioned how you distribute water & sandwiches to the indigent and homeless. Or was that also sparked by a news item on the radio? (KLSD no doubt)

    With regard to the “Jogger”, why did 2 white blokes confront him in a residential neighborhood with a shotgun? Why did the “jogger” try to grab the shotgun? What did the white blokes say to the black jogger?

    Since the black bloke was shot dead, who came up with the story after-the-fact that he was “jogging”? A person doesn’t jog between construction sites and houses that he walks into, right? If a bloke is running away from a robbery, you don’t say that he was “jogging” away from the crime scene, right? Maybe he was running away from the truck?

    Below is the Urban Dictionary entry for Ahmaud Arbery. Is it correct?

    Ahmaud Arbery
    A gentleman that was shot after charging and hitting a old man who held a gun. Reports say he was doing his daily jog and was gunned down by white folks because he was black. Ahmaud was out on his daily 24 mile jog because he lived 12 miles away. Ahmaud was caught on camera trespassing private property and also was carrying a hammer on him that was caught on video. He also brought a illegal semi auto gun to a high school game that he was not a student of and tried evading the cops and both got injured. Also charged with shoplifting and violating his probation. This man had a bright future ahead of him, probably was on his way to Harvard Medical School and his life was taken.
    Bill: “Hey did you see the news. This Ahmaud Arbery guy got shot by 2 white dudes while on a jog”
    Huck: “Yes I did, apparently he was carrying a hammer and was caught on camera trespassing private property 12 miles away from his home, 24 miles thats a long jog”

    According to the CDC, the first case was reported April 15, 2009. The Obama administration assembled a team and declared H1N1 a public health emergency on April 26, six weeks before it was declared a pandemic and before any deaths had been recorded in the U.S.

    Now you know where “I knew it was a pandemic before it was a pandemic,” came from. Read it and weep. I mean really weep that Obama wasn’t president when this thing hit. No, we had Trump.

            As usual, benr has nailed it. Trump himself has said as much:

            Rucker (WaPo): What crime exactly are you accusing President Obama of committing, and do you believe the Justice Department should prosecute him?

            Trump: Obamagate. It’s been going on for a long time. It’s been going on from before I even got elected, and it’s a disgrace that it happened, and if you look at what’s gone on, and if you look at now, all this information that’s being released — and from what I understand, that’s only the beginning — some terrible things happened, and it should never be allowed to happen in our country again. And you’ll be seeing what’s going on over the next, over the coming weeks but I, and I wish you’d write honestly about it but unfortunately you choose not to do so.

            Rucker: What is the crime, exactly, that you’re accusing him of?

            Trump: You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody. All you have to do is read the newspapers, except yours.

            That ought to clear things up.

            “Obama did nothing while swine flu and ebola popped its ugly head in.

            Huh? He sounds like an actual leader (as opposed to your Dear Leader, an entitled, whining little bitch) and Ebola was soundly beaten. Same with H1N1.

            Here’s the bottom line. Patients can beat this disease. And we can beat this disease. But we have to stay vigilant. We have to work together at every level — federal, state and local. And we have to keep leading the global response, because the best way to stop this disease, the best way to keep Americans safe, is to stop it at its source — in West Africa.”

            He sounds like a leader- MAJELLO

            Yea the man liked to talk!
            He endlessly talked and talked but did very little in the way of actually leading.
            Love to see you prove me wrong but Obamas feckless and very corrupt regime is just now being unmasked for what it was.

      He was good when he wasn’t doing the weird voice thing, which of course became how he talked over time I suppose.

      Where do you stand on N95, the Joggaboo, the Ice Bear, and the Lockdown?

      Are you wearing a Hijab or a Niquab? What color?

      • GreenAlba May 13, 2020 at 7:31 pm #

        *Niqab*

        My first of two spellings in the same sentence was a slip of the finger. You had a 50% chance of copying the right one.

        • Janos Skorenzy May 14, 2020 at 1:22 pm #

          And of course that’s the important thing. Not the fact that people are wearing them.

          Little minds….

          • GreenAlba May 14, 2020 at 1:33 pm #

            I didn’t say it was the important thing. Since it’s your first time using the correct word instead of talking nonsense about hijabs I’m just giving you the positive reinforcement that will enable you to write it correctly in future. Which is good because you’re going to write it a whole lot of times now that you know what it’s actually called.

            So, just a favour. I think they’re dumb too. Niqabs, that is.

          • Janos Skorenzy May 14, 2020 at 2:14 pm #

            Ok, the Niquab (q is always followed by u in our language) is the veil covering the lower face and the hijab is the veil over the hair, I assume?

            The word hijab is known to my Deplorable audience, the Cave Bears I am trying to reach. Sometimes expediency must trump academic correctness. When you pronounce Niqab, are you twisting your tongue to sound like an Arab? Like the libfools did here for a few years every time they said “Nicaragua”, rolling their r’s like a Latin American. If so, shame on you. When you are a Roman in Rome, talk like a Roman.

          • GreenAlba May 14, 2020 at 6:14 pm #

            “Ok, the Niquab (q is always followed by u in our language)”

            Indeed, but it’s not your language, is it?

            “If so, shame on you”

            Right, so now you’re telling me how I talk. There’s no end to your lunacy and presumption.

            When I say ‘Versaille’ to an English-speaking person, saying it much the same as you would despite my normally perfect French accent, do I have to write ‘Versigh’ now as well, to meet with your requirements?

            Why don’t you just calm down and behave like a normal person?

          • GreenAlba May 14, 2020 at 6:20 pm #

            “The word hijab is known to my Deplorable audience, the Cave Bears I am trying to reach.”

            Gawd, just how patronising can you be towards your fellow citizens? The arrogance fair boggles the mind.

            I expect your Cave Bears know what a burqa is too, so what’s the special difficulty with a niqab? I expect they’ve got Google in their caves as well.

      • HapMan May 13, 2020 at 8:57 pm #

        You said it benr!

        Trump, on the other hand – mind like a steel trap.

        Here he is addressing the nation at his final regular nightly briefing on the worldwide emergency:

        “A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. (To Bryan) And I think you said you’re going to test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?

        And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.

        • K-Dog May 13, 2020 at 9:29 pm #

          Trump was confused. This is what he was thinking about.

        • benr May 14, 2020 at 1:49 pm #

          WELL THERE IS THE FOLLOWING……….

          UV Light is a type of intravenous therapy which is designed to introduce the energy of light directly into a person’s circulatory system. Individuals who are suffering from Lyme disease are most often recommended with this therapy as it supports red blood cell-oxygenation and promotes a healthy immune system.

          How ever you appear to be yet another troll with a ridiculous love affari with the DEMOCRAT PARTY.
          Prove me wrong.

          • HapMan May 14, 2020 at 3:28 pm #

            Maybe I don’t spend enough time on far right websites, but I have to say that’s the first time I have actually seen anyone DEFEND that particular bout of verbal diarrhea from Trump.

            By the way, didn’t Trump say the next day that he was being sarcastic?

            Benr, for your own safety I hope you stop drinking the Trump Kool-Aid (or Clorox, as it were).

          • benr May 14, 2020 at 6:40 pm #

            Not defending anything just pointing out that there is a treatment for lyme disease involving UV lights internally!

            How can one even begin to attack the man for putting ideas out there?
            This type of stupid attack is why so many people that did not like Trump but held their nose and voted for the guy are now firmly supporting him.

          • HapMan May 14, 2020 at 7:39 pm #

            Benr, I’m glad to hear you weren’t defending Trump’s statement because that would have been NUTS!

            In all seriousness, do you really think that the President of the United States, briefing the nation from the WH during a grave national emergency, with the American people looking for sound leadership and guidance, should “just be putting ideas out there” – about injecting disinfectant?? You think it’s offsides to attack him for just pulling stuff out of his ass in that context? I think even he realizes he shit the bed.

            It gets even worse, and more corrupt:

            The Court’s order was 4-3, with Justice Brian Hagedorn, a Republican initially appointed to a lower state court by former Gov. Scott Walker (R), writing one of three dissenting opinions.

            Justice Daniel Kelly, a lame duck who recently lost an election to retain his seat by nearly 11 points, cast the key fourth vote to strike down the stay-at-home order.

            If not for a Wisconsin law that allows Kelly to serve until August, the stay-at-home order may well have been upheld.

            The US must be the only country in the world where professional officers like judges, sheriffs, etc, are elected. What an effing crock of a system … open to so much grift!

      How Living Near the Starvation Point Can Extend Lifespan

      The tough love of Donald Trump.

      Will Starving Yourself Help You Live Longer?

      “The lines at food banks have never been longer,” said U.S. Representative Marcia Fudge, an Ohio Democrat. “And by any reputable account the worst is yet to come.”

      Don’t forget Trump is the ANTICHRIST who slithered to Washington DC to be born.

      Count on Trump doing —->>> the opposite. <<<—-

      Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

      Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick. Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. The Jewish Passover Festival was near.

      When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.

      Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”

      Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up, “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”

      Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.

      • Q. Shtik May 14, 2020 at 3:31 pm #

        “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, – Dog

        ===========

        Back in the day the Bible referred to them as fishes. When it comes to religious texts fishes has a better ring to it than fish.

        But speaking of starvation… earlier this week NYT op-ed columnist Charles M. Blow (a black person) wrote a piece on starvation and claimed that he had suffered from it as a child. I don’t doubt it. What surprised me about this column is that not once did he mention that this was the plight of black people. I don’t recall Blow ever writing something that did not mention something negative about whites vs blacks. He is a professional black apologist. Sort of a higher level Al Sharpton.

    Here is some context regarding our Michael Flynn:

    The judge in the case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn announced Wednesday that he has appointed a retired judge as an amicus curiae to examine whether there is any reason why Flynn should not be held in contempt of court for perjury. Though Flynn has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, the DOJ set off a firestorm of criticism by filing a motion earlier this week to dismiss charges against him.

    Judge Emmet Sullivan is also asking the former district court judge, John Gleeson, to argue against the Department of Justice’s decision to drop charges against the former Trump adviser. Before becoming a judge, Gleeson was well-known for prosecuting mafiosos, including securing a conviction for Gambino boss John Gotti on racketeering and murder charges.

    Gleeson has already offered his public opinion of the motion to dismiss. He wrote in a recent op-ed in The Washington Post, “The department’s motion to dismiss the Flynn case is actually just a request—one that requires ‘leave of the court’ before it is effective…There has been nothing regular about the department’s effort to dismiss the Flynn case. The record reeks of improper political influence.”

    Sounds like this has some way to run. From The Daily Beast

  137. Cargill May 14, 2020 at 5:01 am #

    More on the Flynn Debacle:

    {Judge John Gleeson] continued: “The department once argued that those conversations confirmed Flynn’s guilt. It now claims those conversations were innocuous. By ordering disclosure of the transcripts, the court can empower the American public to judge for itself — and assess why the department is trying to walk away from this important case.”

    Howard Stern has said what we have known for four years … Trump absolutely hates the people who love him the most. He despises all the little people who support him fervently (just like all the sucked-in RWNJ Trumpies on this forum).

    Trump only cares about being loved by, and in the groovy presence of, the rich and famous celebrities.

    But all throughout his disastrous business life, Trump has been shunned by the NYC rich and famous – old money and new, by all the rich and famous out on the West Coast (they couldn’t stand his gross behaviour), and by the DC political cognoscenti inside the Beltway.

    All he’s got left are the fat shit-kicking nouveau riche white-shoe brigade down at Mar-a-Lago – the real estate developers and new car salesmen from dreadful states like Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi.

    They have no class, no fame, and no pizzazz … but that’s all Trump has left non his dreadful Saturday nights down at his “club” … it must be excruciating for everyone.

    Greta Thunberg has been added to CNNs expert panel being convened to discuss Corona Virus on a program tonite.

    I knew at some point Global Warming grifters would jump on the Covid 19 bandwagon. Yet I was hoping Thunberg had gone the way of David Hogg, but it appears not quite yet. There is still some mileage to be squeezed out of her before she transitions into this weird young adult haunting the frozen streets of Stockholm Sweden, dodging African and Muslim street gangs and hitting the pavement when automatic rifle fire breaks out, bombs go off, and Volvos are set alight.

    Some science geeser is now suggesting that men take testosterone supplements to fight the Covid 19 virus. Is this necessary? A couple of years ago I started taking testosterone supplements. They didn’t make my dick any harder, but I did almost wallop someone in the supermarket one day over some meaningless trifle. Testosterone supplements seem to make a bloke very belligerent. Any thoughts?

    • JohnAZ May 14, 2020 at 9:49 am #

      The ladies medical community identified the danger of estrogen replacement because of cancer threats of the breast and uterus.

      It is the men’s turn. The cancer threat of testosterone is well documented. Prostate cancer, like breast cancer, is a scourge.

      The ED industry may be creating an epidemic of cancer for the future by appealing to the “macho” in men.

      Nature knows what it is doing in reducing the amount of sex hormone into a body that has an immune system losing its ability to detect and kill cancer cells. Both sexes.

      So it isn’t as hard, get over it.

    • Q. Shtik May 14, 2020 at 2:38 pm #

      Testosterone supplements seem to make a bloke very belligerent. Any thoughts? – Pucker

      ==========

      I have been rubbing a testosterone gel (Andro Gel 1.62%) into my shoulders every morning for the past 5 or more years. I can’t report that I notice any change in myself. I neither “get more and better wood’ nor do I become belligerent (“roid rage”) so why, you may ask, do I use the stuff?

      Well, let’s back up a moment. The drug authorities treat this stuff like heroin. You can’t get a prescription for it without the blessing of a doctor (usually a urologist) and unless he is a sleeze he will require you to get a blood test to establish your current testosterone level and your PSA (I forget what that stands for but I think it has to do with your likelihood of getting cancer). Every year or so you have to re-justify your need for this drug. So I went to Lab Corp and had them draw a sample and report the results to the doc. This is no shit… the doc told me he had seen cadavers with higher levels of testosterone.
      And so, I was given the necessary imprimatur and I continue rubbing this stuff in every day.

      Another thing, the stuff is very expensive. A year or two ago a generic came out and that cut the cost by about 1/2 or 2/3rds. The last batch (6 squirt bottles) cost me $454.71. That is a meaningless figure without knowing whether I am “in the donut hole” in the insanity of our US drug system. I won’t go into the details. Suffice to say I spend well over $1K/yr for testosterone.

      I have cleverly arranged to dose myself at a clip where the 6 squirt bottles will last 144 days and the remnants left in the ’empty’ bottles will last approx another 16 days. I am rather fanatical about getting my money’s worth since back in the day I spent as much as $2,000 for the 6 bottles.

          Better question is why are you taking it and how is it affecting your prostate? – benr

          ===========

          I am boosting my testosterone level because the Dr. says it is not good to have a testosterone level equal to that of a cadaver. I have had an enlarged prostate (known as a prostrate according to my b-i-l, Peter) since becoming an old man. It makes it difficult to pee but I take other meds to help mitigate that. On any given night I’m up 3 times to pee (spread between the hours of 3 and 9 am). The Doc watches out for cancer and so far so good.

          I have a friend who gets testosterone via injection and it gave him an outbreak of acne worse than a teenager. My Doc does not recommend injectable T for me.

          There’s another way to get T which I tried once but didn’t like: a small incision is made in your skin and some tiny pellets of T are inserted and you’re ‘good to go’ for X amount of time. This avoids the daily routine of rubbing the gel into your shoulders.

          • benr May 15, 2020 at 9:37 am #

            There are a couple of books that talk about getting your T levels up by eating certain foods combined with exercise.
            There are also a number of plants that help without the side effects and risks.

    What did Vice President Dick Cheney shoot that bloke in the face with when he was out bird hunting and the bloke started mouthing off?

I wonder how Deep and ubiquitous the research (and funding) of techniques involving gain-of-function Virus research is? Is a big piece of the research community doing this shit? Is everyone playing with matches? Is everyone playing with a loaded gun?

    I think that I may have figured out the perplexing case of Ahmaud Abrey, the black jogger case?

    Answer: They’re all Insane.

    Ahmaud was obviously insane as he was obviously up-to-no-good out “jogging” with a hammer about 20 miles from his own “hood” casing construction sites and houses to pilfer. And the white redneck vigilantes driving around with a shotgun were obviously insane. And the social media commentators who seem to insist that Ahmaud was just out jogging and was shot because he was black are obviously insane. And the white “news” reporters with the feigned sympathy and who play along with the false narrative for whatever reason are obviously out of their minds. From the comments sections to the news reports, it looks like maybe one out of 20 people have a reality-based non-emotional appreciation of the situation. The other 95% of people are absolutely out-of-their-minds. People are basically ignorant and whacked out of the minds with their thinking dominated by emotion like animals….

    Another blight is in the works.

    800 cases of Kawasaki type inflammatory diseases are popping up and it is spreading. Some MDs are tying it into the Covid19. It is attacking kids.

    Watching the twelve states I do, shows the real story. This virus is still out of control, increasing slowly in most states and reaching steady state daily Rates in all states. The surge states have declined but are not going to zero, but leveling off at steady states. Summed up, the virus is taking a chunk out of almost all states every single day.

    Our lack of real knowledge about this virus is stopping real progress against it. They senate hearings are an expose on the ineffectiveness of our illustrious public sector.

    Bright is on right now, pure Democrat and globalist. His answer is testing for now then a vaccine and a cure in the future. The cure part is right at least. Testing as a diagnostic tool is a legitimate way of catching the virus early to offset its symptoms and suppress the immune over response. Our public sector has never used this approach. He states that this coming winter may be the darkest in American history. He may be right, however because of the scarcity of knowledge, he is guessing, like all the other folks.

    The first guess was the hope that the virus would just go away as Spring warmed things up. Wrong! Trump et al hoped this would be the case. Now the back up position is mitigation until a vaccine is approved and over 70% are immunized. Two slight problems, mitigation destroys the global economy, starving more folks than the virus Is killing and two, we have no real knowledge whether a vaccine will work. There is no plan C.

    Watching the state’s daily rates indicates the real future to me. A percentage of the population is going to get hit every day and a percentage of those are going to die. Every day until herd immunity starts to drop the incidence rate. If a miracle happens, like SARS, or a vaccine program is successful, an accelerated slow down may happen. Until then, hold on.

The TRACE 6666 bill is the infrastructure they need. Life is death and death is Life. Like you say yourself. There will always be disease and illness in this world. The world is filled with viruses.

        Bright is the former head of vaccine development at the NIH who Trump let go. He, like a lot of his Deep State cohorts wanted to control Trump and found out they couldn’t. The country elected Trump, and these people in the bureaucracy need to realize they do NOT run the show. Like so many of his predecessors, Bright is trying to burn Trump. Will not happen. Latest CNN poll shows a big shift in the Midwest giving a lead to Trump. Yes, that CNN.
        I totally agree with your post statement. One exception, certain elements are really susceptible and protective mitigation measures need to be put in place on advice to them if they are mentally competent. For example, nursing homes, the old age dumping ground, need to be regulated to prevent transmission, if possible.

        Because, big picture-wise, what the former host of Celebrity Apprentice has mainly done is sign McConnell and Ryan’s tax cut bill, appoint standard issue Republican judges, and put insiders like McConnell’s wealthy wife and assorted lobbyists in charge of the cabinet departments.

        He could, for example, have called for anticorruption legislation and reforms that would have survived his term. But he didn’t.

        He has failed to fill a lot of the midlevel positions in federal agencies. Which is not unrelated to a lot of the chaos we are seeing out of DC right now. Is that what you mean by telling the Deep State to take a hike?

    Big Bill Haywood, now there was a two fisted Communist who earned the right to call, people ‘Comrade’. And he didn’t just talk the talk, but he walked the walk (as they say) actually leaving the USA for the Soviet Union, for good. His was not a washed out faculty lounge type Marxism like Cargill’s, but the real thing, hewed in logging camps and gold mines thru out the American West. When Big Bill called you Comrade, you were a Comrade.

    Altho, poor guy, he didn’t like the Soviet Union, and wanted to return home. But it was too late.

      It didn’t “stop” – just ran out of genetically susceptible people.
      Nothing is 100% lethal, not even Ebola or the Black Death.
      There will always be a large cohort with sufficient genetic diversity not to be affected by the plague de jour.
      That’s why exogamy is an anthropological constant – those who don’t breed out and expand their gene pool die out.
      Which is good news for sane folk as the racist pool turns into a puddle on the hot highway to the future.

    https://www.foxnews.com/us/wisconsin-bar-crowds-stay-at-home-order-supreme-court-coronavirus

    As one State does one thing and another does another, it weakens the Union – and that’s a good thing. This Sucker is going down and it deserves to go down. Maybe if some states remain sane, they’ll be places to flee too. If the sane states are contiguous, the possibility of a New America arises.

      Read the scathing dissenting report (also bt a Republican). He said it was tyranny and abuse of the state constitution.

      It was a 4-3 split decision – and get this – one of the four Republican slime-bags lost his election in March in a landslide, but could hold onto his place until August. A lame-duck corrupt hokie from Podunk Wisconsin was allowed to have a critical deciding vote!

      I tell you, there’s nothing about the US political system that ain’t broken and ain’t corrupted.

      But if you want state tyranny, where a gerrymandered legislature and and a hyper-partisan court can steal legitimate authority from the Governor, then you got it. Personally I prefer freedom, checks and balances, and the dilution of power. You obviously don’t.

    That Hideous Strength, C.S Lewis

    Who is called Sulva? What road does she walk? Why is the womb barren on one side? Where are the cold marriages?”

    Ransom replied, “Sulva is she whom mortals call the Moon. She walks in the lowest sphere. The rim of the world that was wasted goes through her. Half of her orb is turned toward us and shares our curse. Her other half looks to Deep Heaven; happy would be he who could cross that frontier and see the fields on her further side. On this side, the womb is barren and the marriages cold. There dwell an accursed people, full of pride and lust. There when a young man takes a maiden in marriage, they do not lie together, but each lies with a cunningly fashioned image of the other, made to move and to be warm by devilish arts, for real flesh will not please them, they are so dainty (delicati) in their dreams of lust. Their real children they fabricate by vile arts in a secret place.”

      I assume that you realise it was a metaphor for contraception?
      Lewis, along with Charles Williams (a writer of occult Aga sagas) and JRR Tolkein formed the Inklings ( a pun, geddit?) which met weekly in their favourite Oxford pub where they would read each other’s work – and after several warm pints, out loud.
      Clive Staples basically copied the story line of Lord of the Rings for his Cosmic trilogy (Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra & Hideous Strength) – he & Tolkein were going to write a space cowboy novel but it fell into abeyance.
      He just couldn’t reconcile his uptight conversion to High Anglicanism (basically catholic with slightly fewer smells & bells) with the hots he had for his American paramour, an illegal immigrant whom he married so that she could stay in Blighty.

      Don’t laugh BRH, this quote from the write up for “Soylent Green” 1973 on IMDB. Way back in ’73 , 2022 was a loooonnng off. We only have two more years. Covid is putting us back on schedule for the die-off.

      ” In 2022,In the world ravaged by the greenhouse effect and overpopulation, Earth is overpopulated and totally polluted; the natural resources have been exhausted and the nourishment of the population is provided by Soylent Industries.”

      In 1973 My Social Studies class took a field trip to town and a local small theater ( what’s that ask the young un’s) to see Soylent Green. We were being indoctrinated even back then about Climate Change.

    Indeed … Trump is so unfit for office that the century-old “deep state” that is overwhelmingly Republican, pro-elites, pro-corporates – even it couldn’t abide him.

    Trump uses the only power he has – to fire. He has no brains or emotional intelligence – he’s a shit-kicker from Queens who had money but no class. He couldn’t negotiate with real men … his only instinct is a crude animal one – lash out and spit.

    It looks like bravery (“cojones”), but it’s actually only bravado … from a scared little boy who can’t fill long pants.

    I dislike the Brahmins and Mandarins and other over-suited, over-perfumed WASPS that run the “deep state” as much as anyone, but it ain’t anything to do with the Democrats.

    It is the power elite trying to control a rogue president … and nothing much is hidden about it. The Dems from Pelosi on down are basically irrelevant in this fight – it is elite right v lawless right.

    But some say that Ice Bears and Grizzlies are very close, the former only mutating away from the latter 20,000 years ago. If Whites are to survive, we must become far more like Ice Bears and we must do it very quickly.

    Hahaha – a very unfortunate (but possibly very apt) analogy there … the poor polar bear is the most endangered ursine species of them all. They are few in number, and their landscape is being stripped away from them by global warming.

    Grizzlies and black bears are much more adaptable, and can survive in many different ecosystems. They’ll do okay.

      Only the hair is white on a polar bear. If you shave it off; they have dark skin just like the Grizzly and BLACK bears.

      In addition, just like you, when you stand naked in front of a mirror, the most sensitive parts of a bear’s body have the most color.

      Just sayin

      Cargill says:

      Cargill is an ignorant “perfect” asshole. Polar Bear numbers are increasing and have been for years.

      The US Geological Survey estimated the global population of polar bears at 24,500 in 2005. In 2015, the IUCN Polar Bear Specialist Group estimated the population at 26,000 (range 22,000–31,000)7 but additional surveys published 2015–2017 brought the total to near 28,500. However, data published in 2018 brought that number to almost 29,5009 with a relatively wide margin of error. This is the highest global estimate since the bears were protected by international treaty in 1973.

    I just counted posts. We have 960 at this moment. Of the 960, I counted Cargill at 107 and Magellan at 97. Now, I’m not castigating anyone, but I have to wonder why an Australian living in Australia would bother to post 107 comments in an American blog In around 70 hours. Take around 7 hours sleep per night as an assumption, 21 hours, and that leaves 107 comments in 49 hours. That is roughly one post every 27.5 minutes through the entire week, so far.

    Now, I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but I don’t think I can post that much. And it takes some time to write up a comment, so this poster is spending even more time on this blog. I have to repeat the question again, why would anyone do that? Especially since almost all the comments are attacking someone to a degree, in anger or name-calling. What does that say about someone?

    That’s all I got to say about the matter. Oh, except I counted 97 posts by Majella in the same time frame. That’s 214 comments or 22% of all the comments. I was doing the counting of both in my head as I scrolled down the page. I lost the count several times, but each time I reverted to the last count I remembered, so the counts for both are probably a little higher than stated. I think Q would be proud of me.

            Maybe next thread. There’s almost too much material here to contemplate. Might as well start at the beginning in 1788 when the British first landed, and the killing started straightaway. What a heritage!

            I couldn’t agree more – Indigenous Australians got the rough end of the pineapple, that’s for sure. But given I worked with Indigenous Peoples for more than 20 years, you won’t get any defensive argument from me.

      What a waste of your time. If you want a ‘mention’ count (which includes all posts & times when a handle is used in another post), use CtrlF and write the name in the drop-down box.

      Janos – 168 (a clear winner)
      benr – 84 (right up there, even with awesomely shallow retorts)
      HigIQwl – 99 (competitive, no?)

      Cargill -145 (you were a bit light there, perhaps)
      Majella – 116 – which is probably right because virtually NO-ONE uses my correct handle when throwing me a slippery “f*ck you”, though I can think of four instances of the correct appellation on this thread, so I’ll take the hit for 112.

        If I search on just “Carg” I get 160 (now 162) – but as noted, a fair slice (unknown) is mentions by others – which is very flattering of course. And with me and “Maj” you get a full-service airline – both quantity and quality! Win win 🙂

        Anyway, getting down in the weeds is not very productive – perhaps we should discuss the issues de jour.

        Speaking of which, it looks like we’re being gouged (again) – fuel prices have shot up from 89 cpl to about 116 cpl – for no apparent reason.

          “Speaking of which, it looks like we’re being gouged (again) – fuel prices have shot up from 89 cpl to about 116 cpl – for no apparent reason.

          But what were they at their peak in January/February?

          Ha. I am informed that regular 91 in NZ has fallen quite sharply from $2.20 to $1.67 over the last 8 weeks. It’s ALWAYS ridiculously high compared to anywhere else. Still, that pump price includes about $0.72 of excise, plus 15% GST. So, at a rough guess, the actual FUEL cost is about $0.74 a litre.

          Comparing to the moaning minnies in the US – California averages around $2.80 a gallon for Regular. So, in real money, the NZ price is the equivalent of USD $3.98 a gallon.

          • Iananna May 15, 2020 at 3:18 am #

            Are you taking into account that a US gallon is only 3.6 litres?

          • Majella May 15, 2020 at 3:58 am #

            Iananna

            No – I was working on the assumption that it was in fact 4 litres, almost exactly, given the Imperial Gallon is 4.544 litres.

            That’s the tyranny of ‘knowing something’ that’s completely incorrect. I see it is indeed. 3.78l to the US gallon. However, I can’t be arsed doing it all again…

          • Cargill May 15, 2020 at 4:14 am #

            Yes – Americans have had a couple of generations – three maybe since 1950 – where fuel has been ridiculously cheap.

            And of course as JHK has talked about it a hundred times … this happy-motoring mindset has led to the greatest misallocation of resources (aka suburbia) in the history of mankind. It is very difficult to argue with him on this.

            But in terms of fuel – a “US Gallon” of gas in Australia is today $US2.83 … compared to fuel in California, where it is $2.79. So not much difference. The difference used to be MUCH greater, so I’m not sure what’s going on here. Very odd.

        • Majella May 15, 2020 at 3:53 am #

          This handle search thingie is interesting.

          Cargill, I’m sure you don’t give a shit, but in this thread, you’ve been hit with ‘Carghoul’ seven times – four by HigIQwl (because he’s lacking in any originality) and the other three are attributed to his trusty sidekick, benr (who his non-originality is entirely derivative of HigIQwl’s)

          “Jello” has a disappointing two entries (HigIQwl, naturally) but benr DID have a singular fit of inventiveness with one x “MAJELLO” in shouty caps. That’s quite an effort on his part….probably strained a muscle in his head.

          “Nightsoil” is rising in popularity with 7 entries from capt spaulding, Robert White (2 each) and your good self (3 of them).

          “Soros” gets three hits, all from the Tin Hat Brigade Leader benr, while “Hillary” only rates 7 calls (well spread)

          But here’s the kicker – “Obama” (as in spelled correctly) gets 69 callouts – and he’s not even RUNNING in anything. The deliberate misspellings are too numerous to jot down. I’ve excluded them (though the number would probably double like Covid-19 cases when the testing started

          But – hold onto your hats: “Trump” (correctly spelled) scored a whopping (drum roll pleeeeeaaassseee! ) *182!!!*

          If were to add the epithetical instances, that night double…

      Lindsey Graham was recently quoted on Fox that he didn’t see himself or his Senate committee going there anytime soon. In fact he said BOTH Presidents could come & testify if they wished to, but that it might not be a good idea ‘for the country’. In other words, be careful what you wish for.

    Caught Fox Business with biased reporting this morning. Their pundit is trying to clobber Texas for opening up too fast and causing a big upsurge since May 1. Pure baloney!

    Since May 1, Texas has continued its slow uptrend with no upward inflection point showing a trend change. Cherry picking at its best.

    I still have heard no MD or scientist giving a reason for the slow up trends of most states since March. Mitigation is controlling the uptrend rate possibly but the disease continues to take a chunk out of nearly every state every day. Why steady state?

    The controversial opening states, all of them, show no change to their basic trends since March. Mitigation is helping flatten the curves, especially on the New York area, but is not stopping the day by day new cases rate.

    Google Coronavirus “State name” statistics to get the graph and click on the state you want. What we are being propagandized with is utter BS.

    So far, there is nothing that indicates a slow down beyond certain steady state values. This disease is going to eat away at us, day by day, until herd immunity limits are reached.

    Certainly not a reason to stop everyone from working and destroying the global economy and the tourist trade everywhere. Protect the vulnerable and let everyone else get back to work, putting in protective measures to slow the advance.

    Get those damn politicking MDs and scientists out of DC and get them analyzing the anomalies trying to figure out what exactly is going on, starting with Minnesota today. Also, Michigan.

      It’s not clear what your point is. Are you saying the relaxation of restrictions won’t affect numbers dramatically, because the numbers remain stubbornly high anyway, even with the lockdown?

      BTW Texas had the greatest daily increase on Thursday – not an inflection point sending things exponential, but still, not an encouraging sign.

      We had a beautiful autumn (fall) day here Thursday, and with “relaxation mode” occurring, there were thousands of people out and about. Even some traffic congestion.
