Yes, things are wilding up nicely in Western Civ as we bid farewell to summer and the elites return from their sacrosanct vacations to the task of crashing our world. You can feel it in every quarter of public and private life. Funny, especially, is the Party of Chaos trying to label their opponents as “fascists” — by which they mean anyone opposed to chaos, the “Joe Biden” regime’s preferred mode of existence.

The West’s biggest project these days, the war it provoked over Ukraine, turned out to be a giant Acme land-mine under the West’s collective Wile E. Coyote ass. As Russia advances implacably there and financial sanctions fizzle, behold the scramble in Europe now among citizens desperate to not freeze to death in the months ahead. This is the third time in a hundred-odd years that Germany has attempted suicide, and this time it looks like it’s going to work. Farewell nice German cars, machine tools, and other symbols of industrial might. In feckless Poland, the folks are out gathering lumps of coal and scouring the forest floor for firewood — they’re forbidden by law from cutting standing timber. Mr. Macron tells France she must accept “reduced living standards.” Looks like Brexit did not go far enough as the UK holds hands with the rest of NATO tromping into economic oblivion.

Think the USA is doing better? The summer rally in financial markets was just another frame in the Looney Tunes festival that American life has become. The Fed Chair, Mr. Powell, said all the parts out loud at the annual Jackson Hole banker meet-up last week: look out below, we’ve decided to take this sucker down (in the immortal words of George W. Bush), since pretending to stoke prosperity via Modern Monetary Theory only results in, duh, ruinous inflation. This raises the question, though, as to which is more politically damaging: inflation or depression? It is really only the difference between having plenty of worthless money or having no money at all.

The institutional rot eating away at our national underpinnings got more exposed last week when Mark Zuckerberg stupidly blurted to Joe Rogan that, yes, in the fall of 2020 the FBI warned Facebook — “came to the folks on our team,” he put it, smarmily — about a Russian disinformation campaign underway, wink wink. And so, Facebook turned the volume down to zero on certain news about a laptop belonging to one Hunter Biden stuffed with selfie porn (prostitutes included), video evidence of narcotics use, and deal memos about worldwide influence peddling involving the whole dang Biden family. FBI chief Chris Wray quickly jumped in to clarify that the FBI “routinely notifies U.S. private sector entities, including social media providers, of potential threat information, so that they can decide how to better defend against threats.”

Roger that. The part Mr. Wray left out was that he and everybody else on the fabled seventh floor of the J. Edgar Hoover building knew darn well that the Biden laptop story was not Russian Disinfo, raising the question: who do they now think is supposed to believe the FBI’s obvious bullshit? And why is Chris Wray still running the FBI? And, of course, Mr. Zuckerberg surely knew the truth of the matter as well — though at the time he was busy shoveling more than $300-million into election swing districts for the express purpose of changing-out local officials with his own crew to queer the balloting in favor of international grifter “Joe Biden.”

The inventory of lies retailed by the FBI is so vast and gross that the agency had to resort to raiding Mar-a-Lago three weeks ago in defiance of all known precedent and settled law regarding presidential records. The reason: Mr. Trump, the former president, had exactly such a cataloged inventory of the FBI lies used during his term in office to overthrow him with the Crossfire Hurricane nonsense, and was prepared to introduce said evidence in the lawsuit he has initiated in a Florida federal court against Hillary Clinton and a rogue’s gallery of campaign aides and allied federal officials who assisted in concocting the RussiaGate operation. The aim of the Mar-a-Lago raid: to un-declassify all that material — via a probably illegal order by “Joe Biden” — so as to prevent it from being introduced as evidence in the lawsuit. Somehow, the news media failed to report that part of the story, and even the alt media has missed that last detail.

And now, despite walking back their guideline Covid-19 policies this month, the CDC and its sister public health agencies are ready to push a new edition of Big Pharma’s Covid (so-called) “vaccines,” despite visibly rising all-causes death numbers across Western Civ that appear, more and more, attributable only to the “vaccines.” The vaxx-happy bureaucracy will not be stopped by the captive federal justice system but the attorneys general of fifty states could each act against the program, which has violated every module of the Nuremberg Code against human medical experimentation, as well as US law. It may be too late for the medical profession to redeem its lost sacred honor.

The catch here is that, at this point in the disgraceful story, only Woked-up liberals vying for the Darwin Award will fall for the new vaxxes. Everybody else is onto the scam and hip to the danger, and mandates have worn out their welcome. Liberal Wokery has turned out to be a form of stupidly booby-trapped, self-limiting neo-Nazism. There is your Party of Chaos in a nutshell.

It remains for Mr. Trump to renounce his support for the evil fruits of the Warp Speed operation he presided over. He must face the fact that he was played, and he may be forgiven, considering all the evidence coming recently from the likes of Deborah Birx and others that he was lied to and manipulated. But he doesn’t have much more time to get it right, or else his political career will be over well before the 2024 election. That may be all for the better. America probably needs a clean sweep of our desecrated political landscape. All in all, Mr. Trump was a good soldier, brave and resolute under tremendous adversity, but he’s not the only one who can lead our country back to itself.

    I have noted that you have been referring to demonic and spiritual wickedness to describe what has been playing out on the global scene now Jim, and I couldn’t agree with you more. As I have posted many times, even those that do not believe in such evil entities have to admit that there have always been those that DO believe, and that it is these human beings that are a dangerous and demonic threat to our entire civilization.

    Rabbi Johnathan Cahn has written a book titled “The Return of the Gods”, which will be available around September 6th. In a recent interview with Greg Hunter, Rabbi Cahn detailed his theory that the ancient pagan gods were actually fallen and cast out angels that had convinced primitive man to bow down and sacrifice to them throughout antiquity. These false gods were driven out by the spread of Christianity, but as America and the world drives God out of our societies, these entities are moving back in to fill the void. I have long speculated myself on this possibility and I have pre-ordered a copy and cannot wait to read it.

    I decade ago, a Vietnam combat veteran spoke to me of his experience during the conflict and the “interrogation” that he and a squad of Vietnamese soldiers carried out on a Viet Cong prisoner. It was a horrific and disturbing tale, and at one point as I stared into his eyes as he spoke, tiny yellow flames appeared in his pupils. I am not exaggerating, I promise.

    These forces of evil exist and are gaining power in our systems. How is it, take the college loan forgiveness issue for example, that such a contentious decision is made, that absolutely everyone vigorously opposes, that those pushing the agenda refuse to even acknowledge the outrage and steam full speed ahead anyway? Surely there are forces behind those making the bad calls that the puppets fear far more than an entire angry population. The same can be said for the “vaccine” mandates. There are powers of evil at work here that cannot be deterred by any craft that we here possess.

    As you have said::

    “Do not bend or melt. Soldier through. Be men and be women (there is truly nothing in-between, and do not fall for faithless inducements to doubt that). You are brothers and sisters in an enterprise worth saving and you have a history worth defending. Believe it.”

    Well spoken, bravo!

    • steppingup August 29, 2022 at 10:14 am #

      “There are powers of evil at work here that cannot be deterred by any craft that we here possess.” Maybe so, but I’m willing to bet my 45LC in the forehead should slow them down enough for me to get close enough to put a wooden stake right in their black heart, if they even have one. I wonder what pronoun they go by now…..

      • stelmosfire August 29, 2022 at 11:01 am #

        45LC? most posters have not a clue as to what you reference.Sweet round.

        • elysianfield August 29, 2022 at 11:43 am #

          Saint,
          I…know a guy that has a Star reloader set up for that caliber.

          Star reloader? Google it.

          • Daddyotis August 29, 2022 at 6:19 pm #

            EF: It’s called a moon clip, and essentially “clips” into the recesses in the .45ACP round in order to convert the semiauto .45 round into a revolver-ready round. Once clipped in, 5 or 6 of these rounds are very amenable to loading into a revolver wheel using a speed loader.

          • elysianfield August 30, 2022 at 10:58 am #

            Daddy,
            Different product. Been using half moon clips for 50+ years…the star reloader is a semi-automatic loading press that will load up to 600 cartridges and hour.

        • Lyndy33 August 29, 2022 at 12:01 pm #

          The .45 Long Colt is a versatile round but not to be confused with the .45 Cold automatic round. It was designed for revolvers and migrated to light saddle guns. The cartridge is large and I have even loaded it with bird shot.

          But we regress: One of the the evils that is abound now is ‘thirst for power’ and permeates all the way down to the Home Owners Association, Meetup group leaders, etc. It is difficult to lead without subconsciously acquiring that thirst.

          • mrs_saj August 29, 2022 at 1:28 pm #

            I belonged to two ladies book clubs. One was on meetup. The other was a local newcomers type organization with many different interest groups including several book clubs. When COVID hit, both groups continued to meet but it was now via Zoom. I quickly found out I was the only person still living my prior life. Everyone else fully embraced lockdowns, bubbles, and vaccines. When the ladies finally ventured from their homes, the newcomers group found a church where we could meet. The leader announced that you had to be fully vaxxed to attend! I am now being ordered to take an experimental medical treatment that I don’t want by…BOOKCLUB? I called the church and talked to the pastor. The church did not require vaccinations to enter the building. This was all the breathtaking power grab of our leader.

            I no longer belong to either group. When asked about it by a few members, I told that story. I have no idea if anyone stood up for the freedom of choice.

          • Beryl of Oyl August 29, 2022 at 1:49 pm #

            Mrs, I have so few people in my life now. When I meet someone I might like to talk to, I start to worry about what they think about masks and lockdowns.

          • Bilejones August 29, 2022 at 2:35 pm #

            you reloaders make me smile. I know a guy who reckons he’s playing around with the last few millimeters @100 yds. I tried suggesting that at that level of accuracy changes of air temp and humidity matter but he reckons he takes that into account. He’s a man of absolutely probity so I have no reason to doubt him.
            Keep it up.

          Strange country.

      • farmgal August 29, 2022 at 12:22 pm #

        I looked up images of this gun on the internet and there seems to be various sizes. What exactly makes it a “Long Colt”? I was thinking it was something like a rifle. I do believe I have one somewhere in the gun safe. Single action? And is the ammo different from say what you would use in a 1911?

        • BackRowHeckler August 29, 2022 at 1:25 pm #

          I think that was the original black powder round for the Colt Single Action Model P (frontier six shooter) in 1873. ‘Long Colt’ could be a label that the round was given retroactively after the company came out with the ,45 cal M1911 — two totally different bullets. In the past 150 years there have been so many different calibers, loads, shapes of bullets, ways that rounds were labeled (amount of powder, rimfire or center fire, weight of projectiles, speed of the bullet etc), it is an impossibility to keep track of it all.

          • neurodoc August 29, 2022 at 2:51 pm #

            With all this talk about obsolete revolvers from the past century, I do hope that when, not if, the shit hits the fan, that most here will have much more than a revolver to defend their homes and families. Unless you’re a cowboy type gunslinger who can shoot and reload with the blink of an eye, if attacked by 7 or 8 people, or more, you’re dead. That’s what an AR (15 or 10) or a 308 rifle is for! Just say’in.

            And, by the way, I do own several revolvers out of pure historical interest only. Some, e.g. a 6 inch Colt King Cobra (.357 cal) are quite accurate at 10-20 feet, and deadly.
            🙂

    • EdD August 29, 2022 at 10:19 am #

      Your observation of the agenda pushers ignoring resistance by the citizenry was on display with the bank bailouts. One House member said that his constituents’ response to the bailouts was evenly divided between “no” and “hell no”.

      The agenda pushers in Congress simply violated procedural rules and Passed the bill in the Senate first, then in the House. Now, as you said, there’s no discussion at all over new agenda issues.

      • Ricechex August 29, 2022 at 3:09 pm #

        The bank bailouts of 2008? I remember going to a website for our house rep who had a poll if you oppose or support bank bailouts. After answering you could see the results of those who answered the poll. 98% said NO to bank bailouts. The House Rep voted YES to bank bailouts. She voted against her constituents. Didn’t seem to matter she is still in Congress.

        • workingclasshero August 29, 2022 at 4:48 pm #

          I was told back then that if the feds didn’t bail out financial institutions then401k’s would possibly collapse by around 50% or worse. That is what the house representatives were sold anyway.

    • Night Owl August 29, 2022 at 10:22 am #

      You should watch the inverviews with David Icke on London Real. Pretty fascinating stuff. Icke has been pretty out there with some of his claims in the past, but he is an incredibly smart guy, and some of his insights on the spirutual elements of what has taken place recently are WELL worth listening to.

      He was also one of a handful of people that called out pretty much the entire fraud years in advance. Interesting guy.

      • Ron Anselmo August 29, 2022 at 10:30 am #

        Agreed Owl – a brilliant guy. Some of his stuff that for years has seemed “a little out there”, seems to be coming a little closer to the truth.

        His original book – The Truth Shall Set You Free – a real eye & mind opener.

      • cjf7684 August 29, 2022 at 10:31 am #

        20+ years ago I thought he was a wack job. After doing my own deep dive into the subject I’ve done a 180.

        • Beryl of Oyl August 29, 2022 at 10:51 am #

          When Donald Trump first named Bobby Jr. as head of vaccine integrity or something, I thought he was throwin a sop to a fringe element, but I also thought that because there was such a sizable number of Americans with concerns about vaccine safety, it was just good politics to let them have a voice.

          Then I looked deeper into the issue, and found out that Bobby wasn’t saying the wacky things I thought he was.

          When President Trump started pushing a “warp speed” shot for a cold virus, my first thought was “where is RFK Jr. in all this?”

          That’s whenI found out he had listened to Bill Gates and just left Bobby hanging.

          They saw him coming, with this plandemic. I wonder who arreanged the meeting with Gates?

          A lot of people owe Bobby an apology, and a lot of people (Neil Young) owe Joe Rogan an apology.

          • Steve in FL August 29, 2022 at 11:31 am #

            Yes. Absolutely. A great video about the truth of vaccines was Candace Owens educating Robert Malone. I believe he credits her with opening his eyes. Later of course his friendship developed with RFK jr.

          • Night Owl August 29, 2022 at 1:49 pm #

            I never saw that, Steve. Will have to look it up.

            When Malone came around, it happend almost overnight.

        About people who are “out there”(Icke, etc.):

        I have to remind myself often now how we laughed at Alex Jones ten to fifteen years ago. He is so animated and bombastic it’s hard to watch him. The ideas of the New World Order, “FEMA camps”, Rockerfeller petroleum based medicine, false flag school shootings, 9/11 being an inside job all were sooo ridiculous. Until they weren’t. My tipping point was discovering WTC7 in 2016…

        It’s harder to be discerning for yourself than to follow the herd. Most need that sense of security that comes from believing the “prevailing wisdom” peddled to us by television.

        I knew of significant deaths and side effects of the poison death shot and watched most of my friends ignore my warnings and clear evidence and take the shot. It killed my best friend, the healthiest most active athletic man I knew.

        The book above sounds interesting. From time to time I give Icke a listen as well.

          I used to laugh at Jones, too. I still do at times. Just the whole presentation turned me off.

          On occasion, however, I would hear him talking about something and then go on a little research expedition. 99 percent of the time, he was right. His predictions about our current timeline are something else, though. He is often quite far ahead of the curve.

          Icke is the same, but far more cerebral in his presentation. I can’t follow some of the tangents he goes off on, but the amount of thought he has put into the subjects he covers is impressive. His son Gareth is also quite an interesting guy.

        Yes, the fundamental narrative of the Abrahamic religions: Only we have the Truth. You’re all doing it wrong. Thus you have need to be taught better or else.

        Islam is the best of the three in this regard, saying that every people have been given prophets in the fullness of time. But then they ruin it by saying that only Islam has the full Truth now, the rest having fallen away. If they hadn’t, they be exactly like Muslims now. Thus they reveal a complete inability to discriminate between the essence and the extraneous.

      It was believed that King Solomon was given authority over a great many spiritual/demonic entities and could command them to do all sorts of things for him. He even had them build a temple. 72 of them are listed in what has come to be known as the Goetia. Perchance we can likewise call upon them to give the global ‘elite’ their comeuppance…

      • SpeedyBB August 29, 2022 at 11:01 am #

        In discussions with my better-educated Muslim friends, I found that not only do they have no problem accepting the reality and omnipresence of demonic realities, but they also accept UFOs and their occupants as another variety of “djinn”.

        I’m not saying that this is Islamic gospel, but rather that there is an acceptance of other [hostile] realities. Evil exists, and stays busy.

            Those who are considering the spiritual aspects of the mess we’re in might consider reading the book “Hostage to the Devil” by Malachi Martin, an old-fashioned scholar-priest. It’s compelling and fascinating.

            Martin was an editor for the Encyclopædia Britannica, religious editor for the National Review, a Professor who taught Aramaic, Hebrew, palaeography, Sacred Scripture and theology, and an Oxford alumnae.

            I still don’t know quite what to make of the book, but I don’t doubt there’s real evil in the world, not the ordinary material kind we’re accustomed to, but genuine spiritual evil.

      Speaking as a Heathen Odinist man I find that you, along with the Rabbi, really need to take a good long look at history. Start with the early Christian atrocities and continue through to the Inquisition. The Gods and Goddesses of my Norse, Saxon and Celtic ancestors are no part of any “fallen angels” of your Middle Eastern blood-cult religion and desert demon-god.

        It is sadly true that throughout history the three Semitic religions have all too often exhibited extreme intolerance towards other faiths, even each other and different sects within their own camps.

        Speaking of Odinism, I’ve consulted the Runes several times before on various matters (partly for the fun of it). There was one rune that I remember jumped into my hands much more often than any other — Jera: Harvest, the One Year. Wonder what the significance of this might be!

      • Hated American August 29, 2022 at 5:41 pm #

        LOL.Well, those “Christian” atrocities (were they following Christ’s teaching??) were nearly always exposed and eradicated by other Christians. The Inquisition killed about 1200-1500. Compare that to the communist religion (and, yes, it is a religion, “secular”is a myth). Compare the deaths of the Inquisition to the killings of Church laity and clergy by the bolsheviks in Russia, or the Armenian and Vendee genocides.

      • Anthea August 30, 2022 at 1:41 am #

        @ Rodulf:

        There is a distinction to be made between a religion and its officials and political structure–and even between a religion and its practitioners.

        The best analogy I can think of is that one may love America, the Constitution, and all the ideals they represent, while at the same time detesting our government, its officials, and its politicians.

        You can likewise believe in Catholicism and Christian ideals while at the same time detesting–for example–our present pope, whom many believe to be sort of “anti-pope,” as well as many others in the Catholic hierarchy.

    • Rowdypiglet August 29, 2022 at 12:15 pm #

      Walter, I’m rereading C. S. Lewis’s trilogy, That Hideous Strength – a book I last read as a teenager. I’m finding it astonishing how perfectly it describes the spiritual aspect of what is happening now, especially in the last book of the series. For Lewis’s NICE institute, if you substitute the Democratic Party and their lackeys, you could almost be reading the news.

      But it’s the insights into people’s justifications, and the way in which they become ensnared and don’t have the will to get out that’s really striking. There are plenty of people now who know they’ve taken the wrong path, but they’d have to repudiate their friends, families, social lives, public statements, and careers in order to break away. They reckon cost is too high. I encourage everyone here to read this trilogy. You’ll be amazed.

        • Rowdypiglet August 29, 2022 at 1:43 pm #

          Walter, I’m no longer in the working world, so I agree completely about the peace of having no peers. But I know people who are completely surrounded, at work and at home, by people who spout the narrative and are prepared to punish anyone who doesn’t. And they’re actively on the lookout for dissent and the opportunity to report it.

          For them, if they found the courage to take a stand, everything would be lost to them – job, family, friends. Some are at a point in life where it would be nearly impossible to start over. For them, I feel great pity. I don’t want to assume I’d behave any better were I in their place. I hope I would, but I love my people even when they’re wrong. I don’t know what I would do without them.

          • SW August 29, 2022 at 2:45 pm #

            Rowdy — you might want to read Lewis’ The Abolition of Man. It’s based on a series of lectures he gave during WW2 about totalitarian government but the interesting point is that it’s not about Nazis or communists, but the English and where they’re headed. He describes what he calls “a man without a chest” — the new modern man who is rootless in a world with no values.

            He purposely does not make this about Christianity but a much broader scope of the world. This was published in 1944:

            “If the dreams of scientific planners are realized, it means the rule of a few hundreds of men over billions and billions of men.”

        • Soul Forensics August 29, 2022 at 2:12 pm #

          WalterB,

          Humans are social animals. There’s a reason why the most feared long-term torture in incarceration is to be locked in solitary confinement. Mildly transgressive individuals desperately prefer to hobnob with cutthroat, creepy felons rather than be sequestered in a lone cell 24/7.

          Being a lone wolf through this brainwashing period gives one a peaceful conscience, but it’s difficult in day-to-day living. Many previously thought to be ‘tough’ succumb to get along with — and maintain — family, friends, and colleagues.

          • Rowdypiglet August 29, 2022 at 3:04 pm #

            SW, I’ll reread the Abolition of Man. It’s been quite a few years, but I read right through Lewis as a young woman. I find, in returning to him, that he was prescient about so many things.

          • Soul Forensics August 29, 2022 at 6:28 pm #

            elysian,

            Please enlighten me. Just to precede, I don’t count physical torture since almost all of it results in a quick death. Same with starvation — 30 days, tops, in squalid quarters isn’t long-term.

            Chinese water torture-type tactics? Brutal, but political prisoners still fear that less than solitary.

            Then there’s solitary in total darkness, zero time outside of bars, can’t see even the hand that slips the gruel through the slot. Accumulated poisonous creatures, uncollected feces, unattended and unknown (to authorities) infections and diseases.

            Most of those prisoners either go mad, or die of literal grief after a time so long they can’t compute it.

            Solzhenitsyn always gets referenced, but a more wide-ranging day-in-the-lives account of political prisoners was George Faludy’s “My Happy Days In Hell”, his lock-up life for five years after the Rakosi takeover in Hungary in 1949.

          • elysianfield August 30, 2022 at 11:09 am #

            Soul,
            Most effective is sleep deprivation.

            Controlling temperature…too hot…too cold a part of the process, is not starvation, but food and water attenuation, to the point of real discomfort.

            Too much light or too little as a constant.
            m of penetince
            Minor corporal punishment.

            I would suggest that a choice, or threat, of rooming with Butch McDick and his buddies or solitary would have you opting for the quiet and safety of a single cell…this, by the way, is the American form of penitence.

          • Soul Forensics August 30, 2022 at 1:19 pm #

            Yes, sleep deprivation is the first go-to method for insta-confessions. Solzhenitsyn said that happened the first day in captivity. But it’s not a long-term strategy.

            Food attenuation, yes. That’s baked into solitary. With Faludy, they were down to to 600-800 calories a day, and that’s while on a work detail, moving huge logs about. The crew still preferred that to solitary, which they’d all experienced, even though some were dropping like flies.

          • RelativeGuise August 31, 2022 at 6:07 pm #

            SF – yep. But the solitary confinement may be preferable if they knew of the 6’9 Shane Battier on steroids (sorry Shane) who’s sexually frustrated who can’t fit in a bunk in general population.

      Regarding small flames in the eyes of the person telling of a vietnam interogation; it is a disturbing experience, I had a very similar one in October 1986. I have only shared it with my wife. The person in question was someone I had concluded was dangerous. He was relaxed and I was to the side of him, I could see the corner of his right eye glittering! I doubt he knew I was observing him. He is serving a life sentence for a contract murder he arraigned four weeks later.
      Flash forward to 2001 and I was reading ‘My War Gone by I Miss it so’ written by British war correspondent Anthony Lloyd about his experiences in Bosnia and Chechnya. He described the same observations of glittery eyes on persons that had observed evil or participated in it. He references it in detail a couple times in the book (which is a well written and important read.).
      There you have it, you were correct to observe the eyes. Expect to see more of it in the days, weeks & months ahead. Be advised!

            It’s been borne in on me in the past few years that sometimes there is no good choice, so you must choose the least bad. To choose neither as some kind of imaginary principled stance is just self defeating and performative. It’s like saying that I’ll refuse to eat if I can’t have what I want. In the end, you’ll eat what you must to stay alive. Why not do this small thing, even if it only staves off reaching that point for an extra week? A lot can happen in a week.

    As I posted before, I recall Donald Trump the candidate claiming that when he was elected, he would release the truths about the JFK assassination, 911, and even UFOs, yet once elected nothing happened. I understand that he was under constant, relentless attack even before he took office, but I am certain that once he was sworn in, he was given the Dealy Plaza Warning. Since a president can accomplish little to nothing once he has been taken out, I believe he chose to do what he was told in many areas, truth be damned.

    • Disaffected August 29, 2022 at 10:07 am #

      If he knew about JFK (and how could he not, he’s not an imbecile), he had to know it applied to him as well. Same with 9-11. If any of this is going be corrected from the inside – and it’s hard to imagine that ever happening – it will have to come from an insider who also has a large and faithful groundswell of support on the inside who aren’t afraid to employ some “unconventional” methods where need be – a palace coup of sorts – only much larger. Hard to imagine that happening as well. Lots of very faithful and ideological men with guns on the inside already who prefer things just the way they are. Legal niceties be damned.

        I’m afraid what it would really take is a Putin type. I don’t know enough about him to know how he was able to find a support structure among people who were inside the system–as he appears to have been inside the system himself.

        Such a person would have to be ruthless about rooting out his adversaries–also impossible without support from people within the system. Probably ruthless support.

        I am not sure how this happens. Maybe there comes a time when a nation is absolutely on its knees that even those within the system (or enough of them) understand what must be done if the nation is to survive at all.

      I watched an episode of Owen Benjamin (comedian/ex-Hollywood guy blocked from every social media platform and now living on a farm in Idaho) talk (partially tounge-in-cheek) about Trump being involved in 9/11.

      The amount of evidence that he could have had knowledge was pretty impressive. He was pretty close to Larry Summers, too — the owner of WTC 7, who took out a massive insurance policy on it just 3 months before it was blown up by globocap.

      Great food for thought.

      • Steve in FL August 29, 2022 at 11:53 am #

        Larry Silverstein. Not Larry Summers. And it was the two main towers he owned and took out the insurance on, not WTC7.

        Owen B is funny and very on point on most things, including living off the land and growing your own food. For those interested in doing this for yourself, check out Mark Shepard’s “Restoration Agriculture” or find him on YouTube. JHK profiled him in “Living in the Long Emergency”, which I also highly recommend.

        JHK’s humorous takes on these crazy times here on his blog are a hoot and always right on point. If you want to take the next step, read one or both of those books. Do something. As I always say, plant a fruit tree and some Chinese yams. They may save your life…

            — Leisure Suit Larry Silverstein, September 11, 2001

          • Ron Anselmo August 29, 2022 at 2:11 pm #

            Speaking of great timing, who took huge, short [positions in airlines’ stocks on Monday, September 10th?

            Even though they can tell what I had for breakfast, because I paid by credit card, apparently, they still cannot trace who made these trades.

          • Hereward the Woke August 29, 2022 at 3:33 pm #

            Nope. Because for a NY property developer it was the prime site in Gotham, the jewel in the crown.

          • Walter B August 29, 2022 at 5:12 pm #

            Timing indeed Ron. It’s a cake walk making money when you control what happens or have the inside line on tomorrow’s events. The scum that rules us keeps us alive if they can make money on it, but if they can make more money by wiping us out, they no longer hesitate. In the end there can be only them. At least in their minds.

            Their story was that no one showed up to collect their money, as if it were a lottery ticket and not stock trades. How could they possibly know whodunnit?

            That is when I knew something was very, very wrong with the story.

          • Ron Anselmo September 1, 2022 at 1:15 am #

            @All –

            On 9/11, being an active trader at that time, I had my finger on the pulse of daily markets. There are (or used to be) two schools of thought on trading. There were fundamental traders & technical traders. Many, or most, trades today are strictly algorithm-based – using a hybrid of the two schools.

            Fundamental traders look at production, estimates, weather reports, supply & demand, etc., in other words, fundamental variables. Technical traders look strictly at price action, various charts of levels support & resistance, historical overlays – in other words, technical variables.

            Technical trading is my cup of tea. I still have daily charts of real-time price action on the days surrounding 9/11. Here’s what I saw:

            On September 10th, for no apparent reasons, fundamental or technical – out of the blue (no pun intended) – not only was there an unexplained very heavy short position taken in airlines stocks, but also DJIA futures were very heavily shorted – again, for no discernable reasons.

            With the intentional lack of financial education, and the intentional complexities of financialization, most people don’t know the difference between a short sale and a bake sale. Most JHK followers understand that short sales anticipated price drops – the faster & deeper, before covering, the better – more profitable.

            Those with prior knowledge, not only took on short positions and covered them at the bottom, but “turned” the trades at the bottom and took the long side of the markets as prices rebounded. Money on the way down – money on the way up, a beautiful thing, money on murder.

            It gets better: Just prior to the London train bombings on 7/7/05, the exact same thing happened – for no apparent reasons on the London Exchange, and to a lesser degree, the NYSE & CBOT, on the preceding Tuesday & Wednesday. I also have those real-time charts as well.

            It immediately resonated – like a brick in the forehead. All I remember was having a sinking feeling, a pit in my stomach, knowing somebody, somewhere is going to get it, but not knowing who, how or when.

            Then the London trains. Hard to believe they went to the same well again – exact same MO. To this day, if I see the markets getting hammered for no apparent reason, I say a prayer, duck & cover and hope it’s not my day.

            They know – we don’t.

          • TPTB-USA September 1, 2022 at 11:01 am #

            Mar-a-Lago is going to make or break the agenda.

            Ron Anselmo, do you feel the increase in pulse activity?

            Yesterday, Gingrich basically talked about the need for tailors to make jump suits if the republicans win this November. Who will be the first to use the word coup?

            Mar-a-Lago renders everything meaningless. Their hope is that their “noise” will out-vote the constitution and the rule of law. I can’t help but think that the majority of judges throughout the world are disgusted by the way the loons in charge are conducting business.

          • Ron Anselmo September 1, 2022 at 12:35 pm #

            @TPTB –

            Just my two cents, but I think Mar-a-Lago is theater – a distraction. A thirty-thousand-foot view might confirm that – provides a much bigger picture – more things to ponder.

            If you mean Mar-a-Lago affecting the pulse of the markets – that would be typical, news moving the markets – nothing to see there. It’s markets going off a cliff for no apparent reason, followed by news the following day, that indicates prior knowledge.

            On Newt, I’ve always liked him, maybe because I’m an amateur herpetologist, but seriously, I think you can seat him next to Ronna McDaniel (see my comment about 10 down thread) – all talk. The Left does not respond to rhetoric or hollow threats. They need to be throat-punched, tracheas crushed, so they can consider their less-than-well-thought-out actions as they take their last breaths.

            Lastly, we live in a lawless country already. There is an upper level of the population, above which, the laws do not apply. There is a lower level of the population, below which, the laws do not apply. For those in the middle (read you & me) the laws are only enforced because we are a threat to the system. On the judiciary – you have far more faith in their makeup than I do.

            Sorry TPTB, you asked me what time it was, and I told you how they built Big Ben – admittedly a bad habit of mine. Many suffer, ask JHK.

          • TPTB-USA September 1, 2022 at 11:13 pm #

            Ron, just my two cents as well.

            I feel that social media has moved the role of interpreting the law, from a judge, to public opinion.

            If all parties in the Mar-a-Lago document dumpster-dive have no credibility, then all related issues are meaningless. The bigger issue as I see it is that there is no excuse for a dishonest administration, whereas some of Trump’s actions could be justified. So, zipping out to your thirty-thousand-foot view, who are the injured parties? I would argue that the injured parties are those whose vote was stolen, and as Jim pointed out “… so as to prevent it (a cataloged inventory of the FBI lies) from being introduced as evidence in the lawsuit.”.

            If the Mar-a-Lago opportunity is tossed into the round file, along with Sidney Powell and the Hunter Biden laptop, then I will assume that my vote will be stolen once again.

            As far as my faith in the majority of judges (as well as the population), I cannot believe that the majority support the actions of the loons in the Biden administration. I suspect that I will find out how naive I am within a year.

            OK. After thinking about all this, I think Trump is done, and there is a good possibility that the TDS vote will win in November. It seems logical that Biden’s speech today was all about energizing TDS.

        I’m always a bit disturbed by the assumption that having your picture taken with someone is an indication that you’re aligned with them in some way. If you’re very rich, you stay at the most expensive resorts, eat at the most expensive restaurants, etc., and you see the same people everywhere you go. That doesn’t mean they’re all your personal and intimate friends.

        I grew up in a small town where everyone knew everyone else. If some among us had been secret criminals, everyone in town could have been called their associates, and pictures of them standing next to us at barbecues, parades, school hockey games, etc., would have been ubiquitous. If you’re in the small world of the very rich (or in a small town) you see the same people all the time. The Queen has had her picture taken with half the people in the world, and with rich or influential people all the time. That doesn’t mean she’s a personal friend of any of them.

        I don’t think every scientist who took money from Epstein knew what he was – although, obviously, the point at which they did know (as everyone did) marks the point at which they should have cut ties and are culpable if they failed to. I know plenty of people who are personally naive enough to have just thought he was a very rich person with an interest in science. If you didn’t take him up on the invitation to his island, you might not have known until it was public knowledge.

        I just hate to see an assumption of wrongdoing on the basis of no more than having stood next to someone at an event.

          Good points, Rowdy.

          Also, most scientists are anti-social nerds whose thoughts revolve around esoteric technicalities involving their hyper-specialized fields. They’re easily manipulated and charmed by the worldly and deceptive Epsteins. Naive to the bone.

          • Hereward the Woke August 29, 2022 at 3:36 pm #

            Yep. A good example of scientists being led by the nose by an outsider was the Manhattan Project. Oppenheimer et al thought General Leslie Groves was a Neanderthal hick, but he ran circles around them and made sure that any ethical or moral qualms they had stayed inside their heads.

        • Night Owl August 31, 2022 at 4:48 am #

          True, not all knew. But many had to have.

          “Zorro Ranch” was largely used in Epstein’s own words to breed teenage girls and create a new line of people in his image to populate the earth of the future.

          The kind of nuttery the Transhumanists like Schwab and co. push.

          There is no way that most of the people giving him money, flying on the Lolita Express, etc., didn’t know at least something.

        Ronna McDaniel, Chairwoman of the GOP says – after GOP offices in Florida were vandalized and spray-painted with “Eat Shit Fascists” – “Republicans will not be silenced by cowards – harmful rhetoric & disgusting acts like this will only make us work harder to propel Republicans to victory in November”.

        JFC Ronna, yeah, vote harder! The place may burn by November, before you show those bad Democrats. In other words, just more lip service. I’d like to see Ronna McDaniel getting punched in the face by some black-bloc clad Antifa member, while repeating, “Republicans will not be silenced by cowards”, over and over and over.

        For heaven’s sake Ronna, don’t defend yourself – or heaven forbid – go on the offensive, just keep repeating the words, that ought to do it.

        Wonder why they don’t stop? Because like all predators, they can smell fear, and it triggers their prey drive – like running from a dog.

        Time for a throat-punch, and THEN call 911, to see if the first responders can treat an Antifa member with a crushed trachea.

    “That may be all for the better. America probably needs a clean sweep of our desecrated political landscape. All in all, Mr. Trump was a good soldier, brave and resolute under tremendous adversity, but he’s not the only one who can lead our country back to itself.”

    Yes, I agree. A substantial drop in standard of living or some other wake-up call is going to be needed before this would happen. It needs to be overwhelming. There is too much push back, manipulation & outright fuckery being perpetrated by the permanent bureaucracy (and their Party of Chaos) for anything less than serious public responses.

      DeSantis giving DC the middle finger ought to do it.

        Apparently, the Deep State, Republican faction, are behind him. Trump is the one they hate the most so he must be the one we support, despite his gargantuan flaws.

        • TPTB-USA August 29, 2022 at 2:43 pm #

          I won’t say never, but at this point I’m not convinced that DeSantis is one of them.

          As for Trump,

          “But he doesn’t have much more time to get it right, …”

          I’m with Jim, but I believe that his days are numbered, and don’t give him weeks or months. The Mar-a-Lago raid presented Trump with an opportunity, but with each passing day, it appears that he will not be able to capitalize on the opportunity, and will be tossed into the round file along with Sidney Powell and the Hunter Biden laptop.

      • Hereward the Woke August 29, 2022 at 12:39 pm #

        What makes you think DeSantis in DC would have any more success than Trump did? He would still face a massive entrenched bureaucracy, rogue agencies, and worst of all, a corrupt and useless GOP in congress. He should stay in Florida and spearhead the big break up when it comes.

        • Beryl of Oyl August 29, 2022 at 12:52 pm #

          Trump will not unite the population, but he is the last hope for mopping-up the blood in DC.

          So, after the election there will be an onslaught of Biden mandates, and DeSantis will give DC the middle finger and each state can pick which team they want to join.

        • Night Owl August 31, 2022 at 4:52 am #

          DeSantis is a questionable entity anyways. His got a pack of donors that to me suggests he will potentially do little more than accelerate the globocap program.

          The thing about Trump is that he was for the most part not backed by the system.

          DeSantis has done some good things, but don’t forget that he also pushed the fraudulent science on masks, he locked down, and he generally went along with the greatest hoax in history until he decided he wouldn’t.

          Follow the money. Always.

          • TPTB-USA August 31, 2022 at 5:52 pm #

            I have in mind that it was several months of mass hysteria, prior to inklings that covid and the management of, were not as the “experts” were promoting.

            It seems that it is only prudent for a public official to wait for definitive information prior to taking action that goes against the grain.

            At this point I’ll give DeSantis the benefit of doubt, and suspect that he will not hesitate to oppose any Biden administration overreach, but I’ll keep that in mind and watch for criticism in this regard from you.

      I’m off this week to pick thousands of apples and pulling out all the goodies from an acre sized garden. It’s time to start freezing food, canning & the start of general preparation for the winter.

      I bought a 1/4 cow from a fella. It came out to 4.38 a pound, gross. So, that’s pretty good.

      I need to find that ancient wood stove my great grandfather used, as well. Not sure where that went to.

      • chopper August 29, 2022 at 10:41 am #

        Wood and coal stoves are about to come into high demand. A coal furnace in the cellar with hot air registers and coald air returns may no longer be viewed as an anachronism. Watch firewood escelate as people turn to buying bundles at convenience stores rather than firewood by the cord. Coal in your Christmas stocking may take on a new meaning.

        • Woodchuck August 29, 2022 at 11:43 am #

          My grandma had a coal furnace in the basement of her old Victorian style mansion that all her grandchildren loved to visit. There was a monster coal furnace in the basement, and one room in the basement was filled with coal. A dump truck load would be emptied into that basement room via a conveyer belt contraption on the rear of the truck. As children, we’d play in the coal pile and come back upstairs with coal dust all over us. The furnace required daily work, removing clinkers out of the firebox early in the morning, and next shoveling coal into a thermostatically controlled hopper that fed coal via a long worm screw into the firebox. The furnace was branded “Iron Fireman”.

          On very rare occaisons, this furnace would do what happened on the movie “A Christmas Story”. All of a sudden, a major malfunction would result in clouds of black soot and coal smoke coming out of the registers. With all the fire and coal dust in the basement, it was a wonder the old house never burned down. My grandma had to hire help to keep the furnace running. It required someone each morning to remove clinkers from the firebox and shoveling coal into the hopper. The house is gone now, it was too much of a maintenance nightmare. But the old piles of furnace clinkers in the back yard are still there to this day.

            Day and night shunting the trains forward car my car unloading onto under rail conveyer belts upwards to be dumped onto the very tip of an always moving stockpile.
            Any pert of the house that wasn’t continually cleaned was thick layer of coal dust.

          The economy is heavy with mining and forest management. But they are still 8 months of winter with a few _35 – 40 degree celsius nights and days. Hey, what’s an extra month of winter when life up there is not rife with population.

    Yes, and from what I’ve been reading– onto children.

    The LA Times was reporting, breathlessly, that kids going to the LA unified school system would be able to take the ‘new’ vaccine, in a form of massed vaccination.

    “None are so blind as those who refuse to see.” And that includes Amy Klobachar and Rob Reiner who refused to acknowledge (even though it’s been exposed as true) that Hunter’s laptop was buried by the FBI prior to the election to protect Biden. Even semi-human Zuckerberg admitted the FBI contacted him to help with censorship.

    What will it take to wake people up?

    I think what underpins this corruption is the belief that whatever “means” it takes to achieve its “ends” are righteous and perfectly justified. Moral bankruptcy is going to take us down. Every great philosopher warned about this perversion of truth and how it never works in the long run.

      Rob Reiner claimed not to know anything about Harvey Weinstein’s untoward behavior with women, even though it was such common knowledge in Hollywood it was making its way into the MSM, and this was before the Me Too movement.

      Heck, I had heard about Harvey.

      Rob’s excuse was he never worked with him.

      You cannot be more of an entertainment industry insider than Mr. Reiner, yet he did not notice what was going on right in his own back yard.

          • SW August 29, 2022 at 7:43 pm #

            He looks to me to be a man who is more successful than he dreamed he would ever be but smart enough to know he’s unleashed forces he can’t control but is pretending he can. He struck it lucky and then rich by poaching another’s idea. And his timing was perfect for capitalizing on the boom in the internet.

            Zuckerberg is told what to do — that’s obvious — and is scared sh**less of the people he knows are a lot more powerful than he is.

    JHK said: Mr. Trump, the former president, had exactly such a cataloged inventory of the FBI lies used during his term in office to overthrow him with the Crossfire Hurricane nonsense, and was prepared to introduce said evidence in the lawsuit he has initiated in a Florida federal court against Hillary Clinton and a rogue’s gallery of campaign aides and allied federal officials who assisted in concocting the RussiaGate operation.

    I HAVE SEEN THIS SORT OF CLAIM FROM MANY QUARTERS FOR YEARS NOW. IF TRUE, WHAT ARE TRUMP AND MANY OF HIS ASSOCIATES WAITING FOR? WHY DON’T THEY JUST GO AHEAD AND GIVE US THE DATA DUMP NOW? LATER WILL BE….TOO LATE.

    Also, still waiting on proof of the adverse effects of the vaccines and details on all-cause mortality. Time for all to reveal their cards to make an impact on the mid-terms. It’s almost Sept for cryin’ out loud.

    • Islander August 29, 2022 at 10:26 am #

    • Jarek August 29, 2022 at 12:36 pm #

      The data is in: There’s a twenty percent increase in all cause mortality in working age people. That’s consistent throughout the West, perhaps more in some places like Israel where the vaccination rate approaches 90%.

      Yes, Trump promised us a foot high stack of unclassified documents, but nada was forthcoming. He’s still of defense, trying to avoid jail or worse.

      • Hereward the Woke August 29, 2022 at 12:51 pm #

        Also, Jarek, Portugal has just recorded the highest increase in mortality on the Planet. It goes without saying that Portugal is the second most vaxxed nation.

            If you’re finding it on Alex Berenson and some obscure web sites, it won’t carry much weight. Needs to be reported by the Lancet, the CDC, NIH, etc.

    And yet, the question must be asked once again: is Macron wrong? Answer: No.

    But hope springs eternal to people say of a certain temperment, so yeah, I get the cheerleading in this space, but to what end?

    Exactly what is the counter proposal, that we reach a state of narvanic kumbaya where everyone pulls together in a titanic community effort at recasting our world to prepare for a return to solitary lives that are poor nasty brutish and short?

    Yeah right; this is the coming of yet another warlord era, the same type that emerge after every empire collapse. So, who’s the expectant boss, the current crew or new, more motivated groups?

        REVELATION 13

        1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

        2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

        3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

        4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

        5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

        6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

        7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

        8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

        9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

        10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

        11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

        12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

        13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

        14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

        15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

        16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

        17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

        18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

          “15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”

          The image of the beast that has life given unto it is none other than your tv set. Nearly everyone on the planet has one of the goddamned things in their house. And they sit there hour after hour worshipping the damned thing with rapt attention. If the tv tells ya to go get a very dangerous shot or drug, people will follow those instructions.

          You can’t take tv’s away from “Christians” without a fight happening – you’re taking their real “god” away from them.

        Something is afoot that I can only describe as Evil. Capitalized. Not the garden variety evil that manifests to satisfy the 7 deadlies. That shit humans do all on their little own without the help of the “beyond”. As I do believe in God, not in A god as in a buffet line of gods to choose from, but simply in God. I also, contrary to much theological disbelief, believe in the combatants that do battle against God. Demons for a simplistic term. But I doubt they appear as the gibbering, horned, fanged, head spinning, pea soup vomiting monsters we’ve seen in movies. No, they are slicker than that. What is going on is just too prevalent, pervasive and transglobal to simply be the odd disaffected group getting the occasional temporary foothold on the collective psyche. People simply do not run like lemmings to the sea collectively saying, Yeah, great, good idea. Let’s totally fuck ourselves while we destroy the entire machinery and fabric of our lives, culture and society. When you set fire to the rooms in your house that only contain your enemies, you are still torching your house. Where do they think their next green bell pepper will come from when they have systematically demonized the entire chain that makes green peppers possible? It will not be just the MAGA fascists that will starve. This goes beyond Soros, Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Bilderberg’s, etc., etc. There is an overarching suggestive presence that is making many people do what they would otherwise, in good sense and conscience, not do. The best way to wrap it up is that scene in The Omen where some nanny at Damien’s birthday party went to the crenelated roof of the mansion and, with a noose around her neck, called out, Damien, it’s all for you. And then jumped off and hanged herself. She wasn’t in possession of her right mind and neither are a good many of us.

    Anyone who still thinks a President ( even a good one) can control any of the agencies needs their head examined. The government is run by bureaucrats and private contractors, hidden and untouchable. Cut off the heads of these agencies and the body will sprout another one instantly. This probably has gone on since Ike tried to warn us and ain’t about to change. My local post office branch is a perfect example. The employees there are immune to public complaints and they know it. Only by upsetting their superiors can they get into trouble.

        That may well happen in the US post collapse. When all of a sudden spoiled, useless, and formerly affluent females are suddenly presented with a new living arrangment. An arrangement requiring the skills of their ancestors that lived a century ago. My guess is that instead of embarking on a crash course of surviving, these females will all start having tantrums and and going full bore with mental breakdowns and hysteria. Yelling, screaming, kicking on the floor – barking mad.

        After that, time for the 10 million women march on Washington to try and force things to go back to where they were by going full Karen. Scream, yell, pass out, lay down on highways, whatever it takes to bring back the good life. Mobs of hundreds of thousands of hysterical females wanting blood, storming into state houses and government offices everywhere, torching all the buildings and dragging all the people inside out on the sidewalks and beating them senseless. Storming the capitol, turning everything over, and pissing on it all. Males in law enforcement everywhere running like hell to get away from the harpies.

        You ladies up for it? Can you save us guys? We’re still too absorbed with mechanical problems on our mustangs, video games, and finding drugs or beer. We’re too fat to go out and fight.

          No, actually all those people used to living relatively affluent and privileged lives–those who live in your town or county–will immediately turn their attention to figuring out how to imipose some feudalistic scheme on their local areas, and set themselves up as lords and ladies of the manor.

          All your town’s bankers, insurance agents, government employees, and large landowners will band together, declare themselves “the new boss,” and devise a system whereby everyone else becomes one of their serfs or house servants.

          The men are not exactly immune to the desire to lead and affluent life: drive a nice car, dine at nice restaurants, drink high quality booze, and–perhaps most importantly–not find themselves in the postion of digging turnips. Do you think your town’s banker is going to plant potatoes, split firewood, haul buckets of water from the well, and milk goats? Um…no. Not any more than his wife plans on doing the family wash by hand in the back yard. You will be doing these chores for him (and her).

          Nobody with any sense, either male or female, will storm any government offices. They will set themselves up as the government instead and pay the guys who used to be the cops to enforce it.

    • Woodchuck August 29, 2022 at 10:35 am #

      These agencies exist only because they are being paid in dollars. Once the dollar is useful only for internal trade and is rejected everywhere else overseas – then and only then will all the alphabet soup agencies close up shop. The country will be completely bankrupt and unable to pay anyone. People don’t work for free, and especially not people who work for the government.

      Mr. Kunstler once wrote that a time will arrive when the federal government will hardly have enough resources to pay people to answer phones. At that point state governments or confederations of state governments will take over the tasks of running things that must be run in order to avoid a complete die off and have maybe only 5% of the population left with the rest all dead from starvation/disease/murder etc.

        This has always been my position. The centralization of power will go on until the dollar collapses. At that point, assuming we are still armed, we will revert to an Articles of Confederation arrangement. It will be a very painful transition for nearly everyone.

        @ Woodchuck:

        Those “state governments or confederations of state governments.” as well as possibly more local governments, will have to figure out what THEY are going to use for money. And they’d better have it figured out in advance.

        One time-honored possibility would be to organize an enforcement body of their own (police or military), with the promise of giving them land and territories to rule. In other words, kind of like the Norman Conquest. “Work for me, and you get to be the owner, ruler, and lord of the manor of Lafayette County. You get to charge rent to all who live there and enact whatever taxes on them that you see fit.” An attractive deal.

If your dream team President and administration isn’t vetted by those power centers, then their nation saving program will go nowhere.

        It’s the desperation of people who think he’s going to save them and that there is no one else. I’m grateful for the things he did, some of which very directly benefitted me and made a real difference in my life. I see his flaws, and saw them at the time. He’s not a god, just a human being, and he’s up against something bigger and more deeply entrenched than I think we can even imagine. He acquitted himself far better than expected. I don’t know if he still has a role to play but, whatever he does from this point on, that still stands.

          Early in the Trump administration–and even during the Trump campaign–I felt that the way he exposed the MSM was such an important service to the country that he almost didn’t need to do anything else to go down in history. It’s hard to recall now, but it was a very big thing at the time.

          A lot of us knew for years to automatically view anything coming from the MSM as a lie, but a lot of people didn’t, or didn’t allow themselves to know that. Somebody–some public figure–had to say it out loud for it to enter into the public consciousness. And it did, in a big way. The MSM’s lost viewership shows how much credibility they have lost.

          A.H. stated repeatedly his main mission was the extirpation of Marxism in Germany and any European state that threatened Germany from without with imported Marxism (the Soviet Union).
          He could have easily won the conflict in Europe had he not been such a hardcore Nationalist and allowed Poland, Ukraine and liberated Russia national sovereignty. I’ve read that he had to exploit conquered Europe until he could defeat the Anglo- American counteroffensive.

            wch – have you seen the recent debate suggesting that the molotov – ribbentrop non-agression pact between soviet russia and germany was actually likely to be violated by russia first – there were attack formations on the border, and a.h. pivoted from england to hit soviets preemptively in 1941?

          Guy, wasn’t Der Vaterland going seriously bust around 1937? I read that a number of its trading partners were turning their backs on the Reich. You can run your SS around killing people right and left but that’s not going to bring in vital imports.

          War – invasion in particular – was the only choice left by 1939. I’ve done a bit of reading on that era of history and most of the western world was still weak and wobbly from the Depression.

    I and others have posted on this particular issue before, but this article gives a good overview/summary of how this was a Bush operation from the beginning.

    How Dick Cheney created Anthony Fauci

    https://unherd.com/2022/08/how-dick-cheney-created-anthony-fauci/?=frlh

    Someone here talked about pattern recognition a while back. That’s one of the things that astounded me at the beginning of the scamdemic, the fact that we’d seen all this before and nobody seemed to remember.

    • Disaffected August 29, 2022 at 10:59 am #

      Another reason to doubt that the current regime can be overthrown. You have unelected appointed czars of dark ops projects like these who have run hog wild with no oversight whatsoever and unlimited off-budget funding these past many years who have set themselves up as Chieftains in their own right. How do you get rid of someone like Fauci when you literally have no idea whatsoever of the massive and lasting damage he could unleash if he went on the warpath? We quite literally have a government that’s spun completely out of control, even among the so-called insiders.

      Any prospective civil war 2.0 would almost certainly involve multiple factions employing all the worst of the recent technological advances that they themselves are the sole experts in. Just imagine the conversations that might have taken place between Fauci and Trump about his prospective firing.

      • Woodchuck August 29, 2022 at 11:19 am #

        The current regime will last as long as the dollar is accepted in international trade. Once that’s no longer the case the USA will be forced to live within its means, and that means living without

        imported oil
        imported cars
        imported clothing
        imported shoes
        imported car parts
        imported furniture, toys, pots and pans etc. etc.
        imported drugs
        imported food
        imported machines and machine parts
        etc. etc. etc.

        Since we don’t know how to live without all the above items, and can’t produce these things ourselves, chaos will result. The sort of chaos never before seen in history, and bad enough that the rest of the world will watch in amazement and begin making different plans. They’ll see the final outcome of the fossil fuel lifestyle and they might make plans to change course, not wanting to end up where we in the West are heading.

        • Rhett Dawson August 29, 2022 at 11:52 am #

          Whatdya mean, “we,” white man?

          This US Petro-Dollar implosion/explosion is not “the West.”

          We’ve always had real currencies with non-record-setting trade imbalances. We always had to. We never had well-suited armies on Wall Street looting all real global economic activity in one protected con game after another. We never had the ability to ‘print’ as many ‘world reserve currency’ as we liked.

          This one is not “we,” my neighbour. The collapse of the US$ is all about “you.”

          • Woodchuck August 29, 2022 at 12:14 pm #

            You don’t live in the US? Collapse won’t affect “you” but it will affect me? Not sure what you are getting at.

            Since everyone is getting religious, let’s imagine what will happen when Russia becomes the most successful, prosperous, and comfortable nation on the planet all while having a state sponsored church, the Russian Orthodox.

            This is NOT going to sit well to have the tables turned suddenly. Instead of the USA being the place everyone wishes to live – it becomes Russia instead. A complete reverse of the former Cold War situation. Russia becomes a Christian beacon of light and one of the few countries left with a huge amount of yet unexploited natural resources. Her citizens for the first time enjoy a bit of consumer goods they couldn’t have under communism.

            And Europe and the USA become hopelessly balkanized third world nations filled with still delusional people thinking they’ll get out of this mess by worshipping satan. Russia becomes more and more Christian and prosperous, and the “West” becomes more satanic and confused. Confused because satan never delivered the goods promised and since Jesus or God is out of the question, they’ll be hunting around for new gods.

            One god the “West” has created in recent decades is the “health care god”. Faith was transferred from God and over to the medical industrial complex. “Medicine” regards us as biological machines that can be tampered with and parts changed out using the same basic procedures used by auto mechanics. Our notions of reality are all crap, but since we call it “science” – then we can claim to be on the high ground. “Science” is one of the new gods we’ve created for ourselves, and people like Fauci or “climate scientists” are part of the corrupt priesthood.

    “It remains for Mr. Trump to renounce his support for the evil fruits of the Warp Speed operation he presided over.” Indeed. Only acceptance of this responsibility will give anyone the hope that he will not repeat the mistakes of the first 4 years: supporting SA in Yemen; withdrawing from JCPOA; appointing multiple creatures like Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, Gina Haspel, James Jeffrey and allowing them to undermine his stated foreign policy of non-intervention; “taking” Syria’s oil; killing diplomatic envoys (Suleimani); bombing Syria with the flimsiest of excuses; buying into the UK’s Skripal nonsense; attempting to choose the President of Venezuela; approving a coup in Bolivia.

    That he created only a fraction of the problems Joe Biden created in half the time in office is faint praise indeed.

    I hope you agnostics and atheists note that this blog has taken a very interesting turn toward the spiritual: I suggest you read Acts Chapter 26 in its entirety Here’s the salient verses:

    . 24At this stage of Paul’s defense, Festus exclaimed in a loud voice, “You are insane, Paul! Your great learning is driving you to madness!”

    25But Paul answered, “I am not insane, most excellent Festus; I am speaking words of truth and sobriety. 26For the king knows about these matters, and I can speak freely to him. I am confident that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner. 27King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”

    28Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Can you persuade me in such a short time to become a Christian?”

    • Beryl of Oyl August 29, 2022 at 11:20 am #

      Speaking of the spiritual, a short while back I was seeing a lot of stuff about Secretariat around the internet, I guess there was some sort of anniversary or something.

      One particular clip I was directed to affected me profoundly. Due to the poor quality of the audio, I could not make out the statement, but the scene had a religious quality to it.

      I had never seen the actual film.

      In looking up the words used, I found out that they were excerpts from the book of Job, 39: 21-25, and the movie was Christian in nature by design.

      This is what Disney was capable of in it’s heyday, and still capable of in 2010, and look how far they’ve fallen; look how far we’ve fallen.

      To be able to depict the religion in a visual medium, to show something you can’t see.

      The actual quote from the movie is this:

      “In frenzied excitement, he eats up the ground. He paws fiercely, rejoicing in his strength and charges into the fray, afraid of nothing, when the trumpet sounds.”

      Wait for it at about the 1:02 mark. Wow, just wow.

      So, what are the differences between Marxism and Fascism again?

  22. Rhett Dawson August 29, 2022 at 11:31 am #

    This is from Dr Meryl Nass:

    “1. Multiple papers now suggest that COVID mRNA vaccines impair not just immunity to COVID, but immunity and immune surveillance overall.

    The implication is that the vaxxed are more susceptible to a variety of infections, and perhaps also to cancer. Immune surveillance is what identifies cancer cells and kills them before they can proliferate.

    So, you are vaccinated. The implications of this information are too frightening to be allowed into consciousness. You don’t need the external censors to suppress this knowledge; you do it automatically with your built-in defense mechanisms.

    2. Data from multiple countries now shows that all cause mortality (deaths from everything) are higher in the vaccinated.

    This is just as scary, if not more so, than an increased risk of serious infections and cancer. You deny and/or suppress this information, because it simply cannot be allowed to be true.

    3. You vaccinated your child. This may have impaired their fertility, increased the cancer risk, etc. etc. etc.

    Of all pieces of information that absolutely cannot be allowed to enter your consciousness, let alone be openly discussed in polite company, this one tops all. So you will simply refuse to allow mention of it. Friends whose conversations veer off in this direction must be obliterated. Requiring that all family members and friends be vaccinated protects you from facing those for whom this discussion does not trigger the existential and uncontrollable pain it does for the vaccinated.

    And Voila–you have a controlled and cowed population who have become their own thought police.”

    • neurodoc August 29, 2022 at 3:23 pm #

      Regarding point #1; the immune system includes various types of cells which attack ‘foreign’ cells (inc. T cells and Killer T cells which directly attack, and B cells which make antibodies which attack and some which mark ‘foreign’ cells). Thus the system includes cells which attack and kill and those which detect and target/mark ‘foreign’ antigens (fr. viruses, bacteria and cancers) on cell surfaces. The s1 glycoproteins produced by the mRNA clot shot attack and disable ALL components of the immune system, resulting in DRAMATICALLY increased susceptibility to all infections and cancers. And, as we all now know, S1 proteins cause inflammatory pathology in cardiac, kidney, circulatory, brain, and lung tissues.

      But, as most, either ignorant or corrupted, physicians seem to know, the above is bullshit and otherwise healthy people are dropping dead of the mysterious disease called SADs, NOT the vax. Move along, nothing to see here, its all normal. ‘Safe and effective.’

      • justanotherguy August 29, 2022 at 5:03 pm #

        earlier reading also suggested that those proteins targeted ACE2 receptors generally, some of which appear in reproductive organs, suggesting further that another effect would be reproductive problems, which have been seen and documented now.

    The 3rd Amendment has been a kind of joke in modern times; after all, why would the government ever quarter soldiers in private homes. It sounds ridiculous, altho it did come into question during the Civil War when Federal troops occupied Plantations in the South, and billeted troops there. Why do I bring it up? I’m reading about a move in certain segments of the govt, that would require homeowners to take illegal aliens into their homes, give them a place to live until they got on their feet. Of course you’d be paid a stipend every month — and think of the cultural enrichment!

    I’m reminded of the scene in Dr. Zhivago when the Proles move into upper class houses uninvited and take them over.

        True, with the questioning of the right to private property. But they have had a practice run in the UK, with the Ukrainian refugee programme, whereby people take in some Ukrainian refugees in exchange for £350 and the chance to do some serious virtue signalling.

        One couple with two young children took in a young woman of about 21 or 22. The man chose her and invited her (hmmm – what could possibly go wrong?) After a mere 10 days, Miss Ukraine and the bloke hopped it to live in loved-up bliss somewhere else and left the woman with the children. True luuuurve it was, apparently.

      This was raised by the city council of Portland, Maine – which city is now overrun with woke dimwits. They were entertaining the idea of “requisitioning” those “extra rooms that you don’t need” for the many Somalis they continue inviting to come and form predatory gangs and “enrich” our surroundings.

      The previous governor, LePage (who got the usual treatment from the press) tried to put a stop to this by refusing to let Portland use Section 8 funds to house illegals, as actual legal citizens had spent years on waiting lists to get housing. They tried some kind of scheme to divert the funds to their Somali pets, but LePage refused to release the money.

      Maine is very typical of a red state with blue cities. After they succeeded in getting rid of LePage, thanks to giving him the Trump treatment, they installed one of their shills in the governor’s mansion (Janet Mills, who hoped to keep the Covid scam going forever). Now, as before every lawn in rural Maine has a LePage sign, but they’ve imported enough Democrat voters to likely keep him from ever occupying the governor’s mansion again.

      • thirdcoastlegend August 29, 2022 at 1:28 pm #

        The rubes on the Portland, ME need to get with the times and use the proper term for, “extra rooms that people don’t need.”

        The approved Woke terminology is now, “overhoused.”

        An example usage is,

        “People who own a vacation cottage and primary residence are overhoused.”

You watch with satisfaction as the Hussein family, all 18 of them, immerse themselves in American culture. Of course, quarters are a little tight in the house, what with 23 people under one roof, and only 2 bathrooms. You’re not complaining tho — the extra $1000 per month comes in handy, and you remember what happened to the Jackson family down the street when they complained … accused of racism, being ‘over housed’ and selfish, they disappeared one night, and the ‘Honored Guests’ have the Jackson place all to themselves.

      It’s always amazing to see the numbers of people out there that fail to see the world “socialist” as in the well known actual name of the Nazi party – National ***Socialist*** German Workers Party. How is it that word “socialist” in there is always overlooked. Socialists everywhere will disclaim Hitler as having been one of their own offspring. And they will work hard re-writing history in such a way as to black out any discussion or evidence as to how the Nazis had adopted socialist ideas into their political platforms.

      At the time when the Nazis were involved in street battles against commie political opponents in Munich, it was basically Socialism vs. Communism fighting it out on public stages in Munich beer halls, and later in the streets. Commies were heckling Hitler, and you don’t do that – nobody heckles Hitler. His newly formed Brown Shirts were his anti-heckler partrol – they’d find you and fight you right there. Essentially two different sects of Jacobins fighting among themselves like the Catholics and Protestants once did. After the fall of Berlin, the commies could proudly claim to be the winners.

      • Jarek August 29, 2022 at 1:49 pm #

        Yes, the Left call National Socialism right wing, and the Right call it Leftism. It is neither, nor the uneasy midpoint of Liberal Socialism. It is another line altogether.

        If it was Socialism as you aver, why is it so pro-Nation, pro-Culture, and pro-German? Is any Marxist Socialism like this? Obviously not. That’s because it’s not Marxism or any other economic system of government. It’s another line completely. It’s about Man, not Matter. Human wellbeing first and foremost, not individual or even collective profit.

        • Woodchuck August 29, 2022 at 2:11 pm #

          It was *National* socialism. Socialism done German style. No slackers allowed. If you were able bodied and not working, someone with a gun from the German gov’t might show up at your home with instructions as to where to go to show up for your new job. If you didn’t show, the dude would be back again – with reinforcements. It, after all, was a “Workers” party!

          • Jarek August 29, 2022 at 2:25 pm #

            Now you’re focusing on the salient point. Both Capitalism and Communism are international, money being no respecter of borders or nations. And since the former funded the latter, it is in essence, one system.

            Thus Nationalism fought against the Beast of International Capital and their paid mercenaries of Communism. Baron Rothschild used to meet Trotsky for brunch and chess in the years before the Revolution.

            Is it coming into focus now? America doomed itself by tying its boat to Capitalism. Jefferson for one seemed to know that.

            Fascism and National Socialism were the white blood cells that arose to fight for Western Civilization against this threat. But Boobus Americanus was too dim to realize that.

            As far as Economics itself, Nazi Germany had a short but stellar outing, some calling it a miracle. No more debt based currency and parasite International Bankers. Driven out. The Land and People flowered. They had to be destroyed before others copied them. So they were.

            Briefly (and I’m no expert), since they are above both systems, they felt themselves free to use both – and traditional or pre-Industrial methods as well when appropriate. But they were under no quaint illusions. They had to be a great industrial power or be destroyed by the Enemy. They needed more time to make that happen. The Enemy was wise and didn’t give it to them.

          • Jarek August 29, 2022 at 2:34 pm #

            Oh and btw, I admit that in its early and mid stages, Capitalism helped to build up America and the other Western nations as well. But it’s Step Father, Banking, was always international to the extent possible (more so in Ancient Rome and then less in Medieval Europe). It helped Capitalism to grow up, impatiently waiting, always dreaming of an International Order by which Capitalism would deliver to them rulership of the world. And so it all but has.

          • GreenAlba August 31, 2022 at 8:17 pm #

            I didn’t appeal to my degree, except to make a justifiably sarcastic response to your patronising assertion that I don’t know anything about politics. I don’t claim to be any kind of historian. But I still think Hitler was a stooge. The people behind it all very much like to see millions massacred and don’t much care about the particular philosophy of the people doing the massacring. In my not very valuable opinion.

            I don’t have to rebut your points about Putin and Franco, because I never argued their opposite.

            Personally I have always liked Bernard Crick’s definition of politics, but it is politics as against politicking the way ‘un homme politique is not the same thing as un politicien.

            ‘Politics is the public actions of free men; freedom is privacy from public actions’.

            It comes from his book, ‘In Defence of Politics’. It is a view which considers that a lot of what people call politics isn’t politics at all. So you don’t get politics in a dictatorship, whether fascist, communist or just plain authoritarian – or indeed in a technocracy.

            Obviously if you’re talking pragmatism rather than idealism, you have to give a name to private machinations with public consequences, so ‘politics’ gets co-opted (I take the blame for that sentence – it’s nothing to do with Sir Bernard).

          I take it you will have no truck with the notion of a Fourth Theory, then? For you, it’s Third Way all the way.

          Admittedly the details of the Fourth Theory are still, perhaps deliberately, hazy. Still in the testing, dreaming, blue-skies phase and all that. And the whole motley business smells a little too strongly of postmodern chaos-magic.

          But remember, murdered or not (and it was, no doubt), the Third Way was hardly less permeated with the Modern Disease than the liberal or its commie foil. How would one really hope to transition Fascism away from its deep addiction to Technique, to Progress, to biologism?

          “Man, not Matter”? Are you sure? Der Fuhrer was practically *addicted to technology and progression, after all. Whether it was the exorbitant hopes of Wunderwaffe, the extensive technological and scientistic engineering of society, or even the technical mastery of mass death, old Adolf was scarcely less happy than *der Schwabenklaus* to welcome the Borg-mindset into the marrow of German society. (As well as into his own body–if the reports of him being on huge numbers of medications are correct.)

          Yes, a real *modern leader. How he despised the tried/tired, the traditional, whether it was the aristocratic grumblings of the Junkers or the “sentimentality” of Christianity! Memorization of weapons production-figures, in swelling quantity, endless variation and extreme detail, was much more to his liking. And for all this, his power depended essentially on that vilest of technological zombies–the propaganda-addled mass-mind.

          I have thought the Third Way might be “rapid cooled” into some truly stable and traditional form, likely Monarchy, but the more I look at it the more extreme it seems the refrigeration equipment would have to be–larger than the State itself, in all probability. (Perhaps global cooling could yet accomplish it…?)

          Your imagery is pretty. But you are just a shade too eager to take a flying leap off your High Middle, imho.

    “Yes, things are wilding up nicely in Western Civ as we bid farewell to summer and the elites return from their sacrosanct vacations to the task of crashing our world.”

    We are not only saying goodbye to summer. We are saying goodbye to Western Civ in its entirety. A much quicker good-bye than many thought possible. The Western Civ train is not only leaving the station for the last time and heading into the Red Skied Western Sunset… it is heading there full-blast with wheels turning and cinders flying and scaring the native wildlife half to death in it’s Super Chief hell ride to oblivion.

    “This raises the question, though, as to which is more politically damaging: inflation or depression?”

    This is for economic theorists to decide while sipping overpriced coffee in laid-back academic surroundings in fancy buildings after they have fully washed themselves in guilt for having White Privilege. Yes, even the minority members of the group have to beat themselves up for sins that may have occurred generations ago that they had nothing to do with.

    Once that guilt bathing fest is done, they can get on to the inflation vs. depression question.

    And every once in a while look out their windows at the American people down on the dirty streets below them who are fighting each other for the last loaf of stale bread for the bargain price of $1,000 USA New World Order Digi Dollars. Time for another sip of overpriced designed coffee. And more guilt.

    “It may be too late for the medical profession to redeem its lost sacred honor.”

    If there is anything good to come from this Covid Con Depopulation Atrocity… it is that the medical profession is no longer looked upon as another aspect of the Holy Trinity godhood but is seen for more what They truly are… servants not of The Almighty but The Other Guy who made Doctor ‘The Science!’ in his very unholy image. In other words, the facial look of a devious shifty weasel.

    “It remains for Mr. Trump to renounce his support for the evil fruits of the Warp Speed operation he presided over.”

    Too little, too late. Too much damage. Too many broken families and broken lives and too much sickness and death yet to be witnessed across the Nation and the World. For some things there is no amount of apologizing can even begin to address the horror.

    A bankrupt nation… broken in body, mind, spirit… and finances. And so many who contributed their piece of evil to made this so.

    For any of them to now say ‘I’m Sorry’ would just add an additional layer of insult to the psyche of America.

      the simple but comprehensively descriptive (because those robbing us will use lawfare to arrange it) is:

      everything you own will gradually become worthless or lose value or be impossible to market, while everything you need will become more expensive, rarer, or be offered in exchange for your freedom.

          “I once tried to understand how we Americans, for so long a time, failed to recognize that we are the bad guys.”

          No one wants to believe that They are the bad guys. Not any
          BAD GUYS, of which there are many.

          People have a deep need to wrap themselves in righteousness… that is, being ‘right’ all the time. People can’t stand the thought or feeling of ‘not’ being right. That’s one reason why people will double and triple down on bad ideas they promoted because they do not want to make it look like they were ever in error. People believe that is a sign of weakness (even though to admit error is actually a sign of strength and integrity).

          And when you add the dimension of ‘America’ to this ‘people need to be right’ aspect… being The Good Guys has been assumed to be in the DNA of America since its foundation. Most of the World learned long ago that this notion was horse manure, but not in the Indispensable Nation. ‘We’re An Empire Now – We Make Reality’. Manifest Destiny.

            every been in the position of not being able to feed your family? i’ve personally made compromises i regret – like signing up for selective service in 1983 or no college.

            and plenty of people enter the military with noble aims. i come from a military family myself. its called a tradition of service, and it comes from a personal sense of duty and honor. these are qualities that are not to be regretted, but many young people don’t get a clue until they’ve had personal experience of how the military is misused.

            when i was a young man, i had more trouble than i care to speak of questioning vietnam in the company of men in my family who fought in ww2.

          Karen: “I once tried to understand how we Americans, for so long a time, failed to recognize that we are the bad guys.”

          We need to define ‘we Americans’. If we are speaking of true American people who are trying valiantly to retain what’s left of the American spirit of independence and freedom from government intrusion… then ‘we’ are not the bad guys. There are plenty of good and decent Americans still. Most people just want to live their lives in peace and to be largely left alone. There are no bad intentions in that. The Good guys.

          But if ‘we Americans’ means all those many today who have been installed into positions of power and influence and who are largely doing everything they can right now to destroy and erase that true American spirit of independence and freedom from government intrusion… then ‘we’ (as They) are certainly NOT the good guys.

          And we also need to define what ‘freedom’ means today.

          Currently, we have the ‘freedom’ to have all our communications monitored and bugged. We have the ‘freedom’ to have a deal of our wages and wealth taken by others before it even gets to us. We have the ‘freedom’ to watch all of our rights being eroded and taken away. Many of us have the ‘freedom’ to be repeatedly punctured by toxic injections and for many of those people without their true consent. We have the ‘freedom’ to witness Marxist and social-engineering curriculums taking root in our schools. We have the freedom to have our private body areas scrutinized by people we normally wouldn’t’‘t want to get within 50 feet of.

          With rampant inflation, we have the ‘freedom’ to see what’s left of our wealth being eroded with every waking minute. We have the ‘freedom’ to watch America become embroiled in World conflicts all over the Globe. And we have the ‘freedom’ to see our very right of free speech being cancelled and demonized as something dangerous by those who seek to have total control over the narratives of life… as well as over our very own thoughts.

          Trying to identify good and bad guys? We have lots and lots of people with varying shades of grey. It’s better to look at one’s intentions to separate the ‘good’ from the ‘bad’.

        I think that is what stagflation is called.

      • Anthea August 30, 2022 at 12:21 pm #

        @ justanoherguy:

        I don’t understand inflation/deflation at the same time either.

        What I’ve seen over the years is how the cost of a number of things has become ever-more-wildly inflated; mainly housing, medical care, and education. Also things like car insurance and, more recently, cars. Another form of expense that has proliferated over the decades is requirements for business and profesional licensing and certifications.

        If you think about it, you realize that most of these inflated costs are a form of taxation. Where does the money from the inflated cost of housing go? Mainly to the banks who write the loans (though many other people get a piece). The same is true of student loans and auto loans. Medical care/medical insurance costs are explicitly a tax.

        The underlying purpose seems to be to make everything so expensive that it must be financed; no paying out-of-pocket. Thus, the banks get a BIG piece of any large transaction. They also get a piece of every small transaction in the form of credit card fees and the fees they collect on EBT cards.

        Basically, you have a situation in which the banks are allowed to tax people–plus every possible method is in place to force people to resort to borrowing to meet their everyday needs.

        I suppose in a way you could say that we already “own nothing,” since it’s all paid for by borrowing.

        Did you ever ask yourself how much of the earned income in your town is being siphoned off to the Hamptons? Almost everybody on your block has a mortgage, and for the first few years of any mortgage loan, the lion’s share of the house payment goes towards interest. This means that everybody you know who has not “owned” their home for more than five years is sending a check to the Hamptons every month. (And it’s a rather large one.) Unless they’ve “owned” their home more than ten years, a pretty big chunk of every house payment is still going towards interest.

        Maybe your neighbors also have student loans and car payments: more taxes payable to the banks.

        I think many people don’t realize that housing used to be pretty affordable, and building codes did not prohibit people from building their own home. Cars used to be far less expensive. College used to be cheap. (My college tuition was about $12/semester.) In the 1950s, people paid for medical care and prescriptions out-of-pocket. They were cheap.

        Everything has been deliberately made very expensive, and in most cases this was caused by legislation.

        • justanotherguy August 30, 2022 at 4:04 pm #

          way too many unproductive “middlemen” in the economy – everybody in the admin chain gets their crumbs, and adds nothing but red tape.

          in the mean time, productive people are gaslighted as redneck, low class, working men, farmers, builders, plumbers, bulk food processors, etc. but these are the people responsible for *all* of the real things for sale. and these people trend poorer and poorer.

          fewer people producing, more people claiming a share based on nothing tangible, and a gov’t that prints out of thin air to benefit the connected class.

          = rising prices and less to buy.

    “It may be too late for the medical profession to redeem its lost sacred honor.”

    A few physician in my area, based on direct conversations and what patients tell me, have actually obtained insight in the fake vaxx and its purpose. However, the majority are in complete denial, and believe in the total bullshit concept of Sudden Adult Death (SAD) syndrome among the ‘vaxxed’ that drop dead. In order to regaining said honor, the majority of physicians will need to admit they were wrong, duped or otherwise misguided about the ‘vax.’ I predict that very few will do that given the authoritarian personality of most physicians, a trait that they will hopefully take with them to the gallows of the Nuremberg 2 trials, if they occur.

    Re Nuremberg2, it is being reported that the US Supreme Court has ruled on the lawsuit by Robert Kennedy Jr, and stated that his claims of injury and death from the ‘vax’ are accurate and actionable due to fraud. Such a ruling by SCOTUS could set the stage for Nuremberg2. That actually gives me some, not much, but some hope in the face of all the corruption out there.

      In case anyone here suffers from gout, here’s a story on that:

      My ex has suffered from gout for around 20 years. It has gotten progressively worse. He used to be able to at least temporarily cure it by eating less meat and drinking cherry juice. He tried prescription medication, but the side effects were VERY bad–nearly put him in a coma.

      He recently saw a doctor about it, who wanted him to have X-rays and prescribed antibiotics. (Apparently this is what the insurance flow-chart dictates nowadays.) He was displeased by this approach, so he went to a Chinese practitioner of some kind. The Chinese practitioner told him to take calcium/magnesium supplements. (These must be taken with calcium and magnesium in the correct proportions.) He said this has cured his gout.

      Now, this seems a little weird to me. The Chinese practitioner said that calcium/magnesium would “alkalize” his body–another new one on me. But it’s interesting–and harmless–so worth a try.

      • Q. Shtik August 30, 2022 at 3:29 pm #

        In case anyone here suffers from gout, – Anthea

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

        I have suffered maybe a half dozen flair ups of gout in the past 5 or 6 years. Its VERY painful and almost always, but not necessarily, involves the big toe. Also, in my case at least, it only happens with one foot, not both at the same time. There is also major swelling. If you’re in bed and your top sheet so much as rubs a little against your big toe it hurts like a bitch.

        Bear with me, I’m going to tell you about the cure but I’m going to get to it the long way around.

        On my first flair up I had no idea what it was. It involved my foot so I made an appointment with a podiatrist. I parked my car and hobbled with great pain across the lot and into the docs office. As usual I had to sit with a nurse and tell her my tale of woe instead of telling my tale directly to the doctor. It turns out he was in the adjacent room and heard our conversation. He then barged in and said “you have gout.” He gave me a prescription for a med and said if that didn’t work we would go to Plan B. I think the medical profession wants to first try something that almost never works before they prescribe the med that almost always works because that magic cure is a steroid and God forbid they should get you hooked on steroids.

        After two failed Rxes they gave up and went to the steroid. It is called Prednisone. (I am reminded of this scenario: you have a bad headache. You go to the drugstore and pick up a bottle labeled Extra Strength Tylenol. You go to the druggist and ask if they have the regular stuff, the stuff that is not Extra Strength. This is beyond absurd. Does J&J actually produce any version of Tylenol that is not Extra Strength?? and who are the idiots that demand it??)

        But I digress. I know all about the foods that one is supposed to avoid such as shellfish like shrimp, and all the foods you are supposed to go heavy on such as cherry juice. The problem is you never know for sure what has caused you NOT to have a flair up for a year… and then like a bolt from the blue you get a NEW flair up. Was it cherry juice that was keeping you gout-free? Who knows?

        So getting back to Prednisone, the magic cure… here is what they typically do: The doc prescribes 30 pills to be taken over a ten day period as follows 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1. In my case the pain and swelling subsided during the second or third day.

        Six months or a year later I had my next flair up. I told my PCP not to bother with all the preliminary Rx BS and go straight to the Prednisone. It works like a charm. In fact this time the moment the pain and swelling subsided I stopped taking the pills and just hoarded them away for the next flair up.

        A couple of months ago I had an extremely painful flair up that involved only my ankle. My wife said it looks like gout to me. I was skeptical since it didn’t involve the big toe but I went straight for my stash of illicit Prednisone. I now sometimes refer to my wife as Mrs Doctor Shtik.

          flare up

        • benr August 31, 2022 at 10:37 am #

          Got in most cases is caused by dehydration.
          Crazy as it sounds drink 1 ounce of water per ten pounds of body weight which is almost impossible for a 200 pound human but do try.

          Everyone’s bodies are different but there are some things beyond dehydration that cause me to have flare ups.
          Too much beer or alcohol.
          Working out to hard and building up lactic acid even when I am 100% sure not to be dehydrated.
          SUGAR sodas to be specific to much sugar will always cause someone prone to gout to have a flare up.
          Red meat in my case Beef.
          Some seafoods.
          The worst one is sugar avoid it like the plague.
          Mushrooms can also cause gout as well as asparagus and spinach.
          Purine rich foods and your bodies in ability to process the purines properly.
          Last black tea I drink too much and bam I get it bad.
          Avoid stuff with natural sugars that are not also packed with fiber.
          Gout crystals can form in any joint or even soft tissue I had a friend that got gouty crystals in his eyes.

          Some things to eat to avoid gout.
          Pineapple
          Celery as much as you can stand.
          Drink a lot of water and in between make a tea from corn silk and celery seed which will help expel the water.
          Tumeric tea with black pepper.
          Black coffee
          distilled water but be careful as that can also leach out important minerals.

          I will try the calcium and magnesium pills.

          I have also been taking 400mg’s allopurinol which also help alkilize the body.
          At the first inkling of a gout attack I take a couple of colchicine tabs but they are really hard on your body.
          The steroids you are taking are also hard on your kidneys.

        • Anthea August 31, 2022 at 11:11 pm #

          Prednisone may be what the ex was prescribed that caused the serious side-effects. His present wife is a retired nurse who is very familiar with medications.

          For all I know, Prednisone might be quite innocuous. But I had to stop taking Meloxicam (for arthritis) after I figured out that that was why I was itching all over as if I had scabies. (I started on it in spring, so for a long time I assumed we were having a bad year for chiggers, or wondered if I had bed bugs or if I was allergic to my laundry detergent. Anyway, I stopped taking the Meloxicam and the itching went away, though I still have some spots that seem reluctant to heal.

          I’m also finding that drinking tonic water (with apple cider vinegar in it) works about as well as the Meloxicam. I like tonic water, but it takes quite a bit for it to work–as in, quite a bit every day. A pill would be easier.

Seeing if they can get a fish to rise to the surface and respond to some bait they’re trolling behind their boats.

            One thing that can happens is trolls setting up sock puppet accounts and coming in under multiple different names and accounts. If you are in a religious or political forum, and understand both sides of an argument very well – you can set up two different “sock puppet” accounts getting into heated arguments and more people getting upset and drawn into the argument started by some joker who thinks its funny. Hilarious to get people started up in the same way people get rooster or dog fights started. Deliberately provoke both sides and fool them as to the source of the trouble.

            I once saw some game roosters a friend had – roosters who would fight their reflection in a mirror day after day and never get it figured out. They also fought each other a lot, running around loose in a barnyard and doing their rooster routine.

    “[Trump] .. must face the fact that he was played, and he may be forgiven, considering all the evidence coming recently from the likes of Deborah Birx and others that he was lied to and manipulated. But he doesn’t have much more time to get it right, or else his political career will be over well before the 2024 election”.

    Nonsense. Let’s not forget the pressure put on this man who at the time was actually being solely blamed for the pandemic, even while putting up with Deep State Russian collusion accusations, impeachment proceedings etc. All this as he made sure we still had food on the table and the resources we needed to maintain a quality of life. He was excoriated for everything he did, including boldly suggesting affordable and effective treatments like HCQ and Ivermectin. With body bags piling up because of misguided CDC treatment protocols and the media daily whipping up fear porn hysteria, Trump, always a man of action, did what he did in good faith. He tried to get something done to help because that’s who he is. He’s not going to admit any culpability over this, nor should he. He has never been about forcing this jab down anyone’s throat. And please note he’s not mentioned “the vaccine” in his last several speeches and rallies.

    Yes, he still appears to be misguided about the horrors of the jab, but most jab true believers don’t wake up until someone in their close circle keels over. If then.

    It’s past time to stop beating up on President Trump about the vaccine and demanding more from him on that score than he’s already done. At least by those who voted for him. We know he’ll soon have to find a way to defend himself from the inevitable charges on the Left that Trump is solely responsible for the vaccine holocaust.

            The only black marks are the shots and Assange, but no US president would have pardoned Assange, as all of them are and would have been far too spineless to do such a thing.

            I reall think his take on the shots has to do with either politics, or potentially a legal issue we are not privy to. Something is going on there, because there is no way any human of his intellect could still believe anything about the Covid Hoax. Saying it out loud is another matter, however.

            My hope is that, in my lifetime, I’ll see a massive document dump on Dallas, 9/11, and Russiagate and the vendetta against Trump.

            No one was more gobsmacked than I when he turned up as a candidate for Pres. Well, maybe those who own TV sets and had seen his TV shows. But I agree that the crazy attempts to bring him down are tangible evidence that he is not in the tank for the nutjobs arrayed against him.

      It’s also past time for people everywhere to stop having this naive and child like faith in the medical industrial complex. Trump is just as naive about “medicine” as is the rest of the nation. Our “health care” industry does just as much harm as good, so the net effect of all it’s activities is a big fat zero. All while it consumes some 20% of our economy in what amounts to mostly useless activity based on everyone’s fears of dying or their inability to take a bit of pain and discomfort. Once the country is broke, we simply won’t have the resources to maintain our giant medical temples with all its hopelessly complicated and expensive machinery. We’ll be forced back into 1950’s level medicine and naturopathy, which is a lot better and way more affordable than what we have now. It could be that the medical industrial complex knows its days are numbered for purely economic reasons, and the covid scam has been their last chance to make a bit of serious money before the big medical feed trough is janked away from their snouts and they are sent out to pasture.

    “since pretending to stoke prosperity via Modern Monetary Theory only results in, duh, ruinous inflation.”

    Not necessarily! In the past four decades the money printing has resulted in more and more cheap goods being imported from China et al. Thus, in this case, MMT results in zero to lower inflation but DOES result in chronic and severe Current Account Deficits and indebtedness to China et al. That indebtedness then requires the sale of US Assets to maintain the value of the USD. Those assets have included Farm land, critical infrastructure and key industrial and tech companies.
    At the same time MMT type policy deindustrialised the USA making the whole of Western Civ weaker – both industrially and militarily.

    • workingclasshero August 29, 2022 at 6:01 pm #

      A good book on MMT is by Warren Mosler called THE SEVEN DEADLY INNOCENT FRAUDS OF ECONOMIC POLICY. A nation can utilize MMT from any policy framework or prism it chooses to. It’s NOT simply about conjuring up and printing money for anything and everything. A Conservative Mises institute framework can just as easily put your society into a recession/depression spiral.

      • Disaffected August 29, 2022 at 7:50 pm #

        Thing is, that’s how it will always be used. MMT’ers habitually ignore the political component, which is by far the most important thing. We’ve had MMT for the hyper-wealthy for at least 40 years now. How’s that worked out?

    • MaryQueen August 29, 2022 at 6:39 pm #

      All I know is that MMT proponents are like Jehovah’s witnesses, they even use the line “Have you heard about MMT?” and they start telling you that you NEED to learn it even if you’re not interested.

    We are clearly a bit past the event horizon moment in all this and where we all end up is anyone’s guess…but things are getting to hot and spicy before it plays out. Joe is a dead man walking for sure. TPTB are surely in panic mode bc the populace IS waking up (too slowly) but they are dazed and confused and still easily mislead. But nobody is really drinking the progressive kool-aid at this point except for the more evil whiteys in the elite coastal cities. And what way things are going…they will be wondering where are the grub is out their expensive downtown bistros is come January…and why they can’t get their dumb Teslas to charge.

      Where we all end up? We end up in poverty living a 3rd world primitive lifestyle. Unfortunately, just because it’s primitive doesn’t mean a *lot* of skill won’t be required to survive. They will be totally new skills that were second nature to our ancestors, they learned all that stuff in childhood. The skills that are being taught in schools everywhere right now is how to live in a civilization based on high fossil fuel usage. Once that all changes, most everything learned in schools, from peers, and from tv – will be obsolete and useless. Forums like this will dissappear because people will be too busy struggling with other issues. Winning arguments or discussing crap on blog forums will be a thing of the past. We won’t have the spare time to waste hanging around in here arguing.

        Great logo , but the coffee tastes like 10% coffee , 90% sugar.

        Around here Starbucks seems to have forced out Caribou Coffee and New England Coffee.

          • Night Owl August 30, 2022 at 2:57 am #

            Even if Starbucks did make a decent espresso, cappucino, latte, etc., I long ago did the math and realized that I could have a cafe-quality semi-auto. machine and grinder sitting in my kitchen for about the same price as it would cost to get some kid at Starbucks or one of the many shitty hipster cafes around us to pull us one 4-5 days a week.

            I have not regretted it, and it is rare that a coffee pulled in a cafe can compete with what we make at home.

            I recommend Quickmill and Mazzer. Do it!

      What the fuck ?

      My guess is you wouldn’t see any vendor in North Korea adopting the attitude that North Korean issued currency or North korean government issued checks are not to be honored.

      ” How can this be ? ” indeed.

      What possible legit reason could there be for citizens within a country not accepting the currency of that country when there is nothing apparently wrong with it ?

        A federal judge dismissed Donald Trump’s legal claims against former Federal Bureau of Investigation officials he accused in a lawsuit of conspiring with Hillary Clinton and others to undermine his presidency with the Russia investigation.

        Former FBI directors James Comey and Andrew McCabe, as well as onetime agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, all of whom were involved in the government probe of Trump’s suspected ties to Russia, were removed from the case in a ruling signed Thursday by US District Judge Donald Middlebrooks in Florida.

    Since we’re discussing Nazism: Another great article by Helen of Destroy:

    “You would be forgiven for not knowing that last Friday was the 75th anniversary of the Doctors’ Trial, one of 13 Nazi war crimes trials conducted at Nuremberg after World War II and the event that birthed the Nuremberg Codes, the most important medical ethics document of the modern era. The Codes set ground rules for requiring informed consent from experimental test subjects; they anchor international agreements like the Helsinki Declaration, the Geneva Convention and the United Nations’ International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and have been codified into law in the US and other countries.

    Sixteen doctors were found guilty at Nuremberg of murder and torture for carrying out a euthanasia program on mentally and physically disabled German citizens deemed “unworthy of life” and experimenting on concentration camp inmates; nine were jailed and seven were executed. Yet the expected flood of commemoratory articles and events marking the anniversary of the Allies’ crowning (if illusory) moment of moral superiority over those Evil Nazis™ has not materialized.”

      I think our own homegrown Nazi’s will choose death over trials. And no trial that could possibly be held will ever do justice to the monstruous evil that has inhabited this country since 9-11, nor would the prosecutors even know where to start – although at the top would be the only way to approach it. The roots of that evil now stretch far and wide and have corrupted every public and most corporate institutions we have.

      I’m hardly surprised.

      For 70 years Nazi critiques have really been about justifying why the United States , once the poster boy for populism , and for most of 150 years having one of the smallest armies in the world , is now the very poster boy for ” military – industrial complex ”

      Nazis as good guys , or as bad guys ;

    In response to Mitch, “kumbaya…”, as well as the spiritual among us, here’s how unapproved Catholic visionaries see it play out;

    1/3 of earths population survives the man made culling including war and acts of God, both natural and supernatural.

    There will be no power, electric or otherwise, but the earth will be cleansed of all effluents and demonic transhumanist inventions and diseases during the 3 days of darkness, wherein you are not to go out, look out, or answer your door though you hear loved ones crying to be let in. It is a trap. You are to pray and keep a blessed candle lit for the duration.

    This is after the warning, after the great persecution of believers and after the WAR.
    Maybe it ends the war.

    You have food and water stored. You have emptied your house of the tainted books, objects, tv s, phones. You unplug after the warning.

    You will feel great peace. The earth is purified. You may be physically and spiritually healed. You will work in an agrarian community thanking God for His great mercy.

    ‘It’s about Man, not Matter. Human wellbeing first and foremost, not individual or even collective profit.’ Jarek

    A great line, J, and nice discussion above on National Socialism, Hitler, and the Germans. One could stretch things a bit and say that Hitler only wanted a ‘global socialism’ rather than being possessed by a megalomaniacal desire for world domination, but I wouldn’t buy it.

    Waging war against the US, Europe, and Russia should have been perceived as complete folly to begin with, doing just the opposite of what a humane, rational, national socialist government would do for its people. All too often now, national socialism is equated with world ruin and the slaughter of millions. Ja, the Nazis.

    Hitler gave Mussolini the complete works of Nietzsche as a birthday present. He was the classic mad genius in the Nietzsche Museum. The will to power. The Ubermensch. National Socialist, no. Flamboyant, fearsome, flagitious Fascist, yes.

    • Soul Forensics August 29, 2022 at 9:15 pm #

      ts,

      The irony is that Nietzsche’s Will to Power was will against one’s own base desires, and against mob power. His ubermensch was for individuals, not for dictators. He despised (and prophesied) the oncoming 20th century totalitarian movements.

      • Jarek August 30, 2022 at 12:30 am #

        Yes, profound contradictions between the two. Nietzsche also admired Jews, their down to earth commonsense and their collective power – a contradiction in his own philosophy. So much for being “a good European”!

        White Nationalism is very new and also very, very old. Almost all the philosophers fail from our pov, even if a few get a few things right as he did.

        • Soul Forensics August 30, 2022 at 12:34 am #

          Re Nietzsche and the Jews. He revered the Old Testament and hated the New.

          • Jarek August 30, 2022 at 1:23 am #

            Yes, pretty consistent on that. But the Jewish ideal is that of a people (do you conflate that invariably with a mob?) and not the individualistic Superman that he was enamoured with.

            In a good traditional culture, every man is a King like Huey Long said. It’s said that in old Bali, a King would talk as equals with “little kings” – farmers.

          • Jarek August 30, 2022 at 1:25 am #

            Here and there, occasionally, he admits that the love and humility of a Parsifal is also necessary for a Man and a World.

            “But the Jewish ideal is that of a people (do you conflate that invariably with a mob?) and not the individualistic Superman that he was enamoured with.”

            An important question. With Nietzsche, he always came back to the individual. It’s his lodestar. His Superman was individuated, but he hinted that those so realized could have an organic collective that would approach a social good. In any event, it’s not where his vision was engaged (society).

    • Woodchuck August 30, 2022 at 1:05 am #

      Had Hitler been mentally healthy and very sly, he could have focused only on domestic issues and rode the wave of the economic recovery of Germany to make himself as popular as possible. And never attacked Poland, England, France, Russia etc. etc. Instead of guns make butter and toys for all the Germans and keep ’em happy with bread and circuses. Avoiding conflict with other nations and supporting German Jews as much as possible, and in particular the genius German nuclear physicists like Einstein. The atom was first split in Germany, and the energy released from that splitting was measured for the first time. It became known just how much energy could be theoretically released by a chain reaction.

      Then as quietly as possible and with as much secrecy, Germany develops thermonuclear weapons and pushes the V2 rocket research and production teams to develop ever more powerful liquid fueled rockets. It was a crew of German rocket engineers that built the first vehicle that made it to space. In time, they could have built powerful enough rockets to place nuclear warheads onto any spot on the planet the Germans desired to hit. There would be no defense against them. Global nuclear blackmail carried out by a country about the size of the state of Montana.

      That *could* have happened, but it didn’t because Hitler was a mentally ill psychopath and a medium who was basically just channeling a bunch of self destructive evil garbage. He wasn’t smart enough to understand all the technical and scientific resources the Germans had at the time. When they attacked the Jews they attacked some of the smartest and most capable scientists they had. Some of those scientists fled Germany and soon wound up working at Los Alamos on *our* atomic weapons.

      • Night Owl August 30, 2022 at 2:34 am #

        “Fled Germany”

        Most of those scientists were brought over via Operation Paperclip, their crimes forgiven in exchange for their newfound “loyalty” to the United States.

        Many were hardcore Nazis, but the United States government was far less ethical than the boomers who believe these fairy tales believe.

        • Woodchuck August 30, 2022 at 11:58 am #

          I wasn’t referring to rocket scientists, and yeah, some of those guys had been Nazis. I was referring to the Jewish German nuclear physicists who saw what was coming with the holocaust and got out early. Einstein was probably the most famous of the lot, but there were many more. Hitler had even once ignorantly called nuclear physics “Jewish science”. Just as Germans were pioneers in organic chemistry, they were also ahead of everyone else in physics. The atom was first split in Germany, not in the US. Hitler’s insanity compelled him to run off, remove, or kill Germany’s most productive and intelligent citizens.

          • Night Owl September 1, 2022 at 8:02 am #

            What other ones were there? IIRC, most of the brainpower the US received from Germany in physicis, aerospace engineering, etc., were the war criminals and Parteitreue they resituated in the States.

            Einstein himself had given up German citizenship long before the Nazis were in power, and he did not leave because he saw the Holocaust coming, he left because he was specifically targeted for his theory on relativity.

            Also, the atom was not first split in Germany, but in the UK.

        One historical point, Woodchuck.

        In 1939, it was the UK & France that declared war on Germany first, not the other way around.

        • Islander August 30, 2022 at 10:57 am #

          Woodchuck is not a historian.

        • Jarek August 30, 2022 at 12:03 pm #

          I was going to make that point. He hatred of Hitler leads him to distort everything, making him into a cartoon villain. Ah well. Germans underwent the most ruthless mind fucking of anybody at the hands of the Allies. And young Woody succumbed and has never overcome that early abuse.

          • Woodchuck August 30, 2022 at 12:34 pm #

            Ahh, what’s not to like about Hitler?!

            Well, this is getting interesting. Years ago I had a book called “Diary of a Man in Despair”. It’s the diary of a Bavarian minor league aristocrat named von Reck something or other who eventually died in a concentration camp or was killed by the Nazis. He’d been too openly critical of the regime and got swatted by the Gestapo.

            He was living in Munich during the turbulent Weimar Republic era, and Hitler was out there rabble rousing in the giant beerhalls. Beerhalls filled with angry unemployed men and bitter WWI veterans drinking junk beer.

            In those days, herr Reck went about with a pistol in his pants because things were dangerous on the streets. One day while armed, Reck happened to encounter Hitler in a restaurant, and Hitler was without his usual retinue of thugs about him, sullenly sitting at a table by himself in the corner. Poor feller had problems with depression and suicidal thoughts, maybe last nite’s speech had gone badly or the communists had disrupted it.

            Reck writes much later in his diary thinking about the incident. Sorta paraphrasing from memory of what I read, Reck wrote:

            “I could easily have shot him, and had I known ahead of time of the years of suffering he was about to inflict on all of us – I would have shot him. But instead I mistook Hitler as being a clown or just a poor deluded fool, and I did not shoot.”

            Reck may have even described Hitler as being a cartoon character, don’t have the book now.

          • BackRowHeckler August 30, 2022 at 2:23 pm #

            Even if Hitler was assassinated in those early years, somebody like Heydrich would have stepped up to take his place. Heydrich was an even bigger Buster of Balls hardass than Hitler was.

            That’s why when I read comments on different sites that call for Putins murder, I think “Be careful what you wish for.”

        • Blackbird August 30, 2022 at 5:47 pm #

          The UK and France declared war on Germany because they had a defense treaty with Poland. When the Soviet Union invaded Poland 16 days after Germany, the UK and France did not declare war on the USSR.

          The defense treaty likely encouraged the Polish government not to negotiate in good faith over the Danzig Corridor, leading to a war in which the UK and France did nothing to aid Poland. Thanks to its defense treaty with the UK and France, Poland got one month of Blitzkreig, five years of Nazi occupation, and forty-four years of Communism.

          What kind of trouble will Poland’s “allies” get it into next?

    • Jarek August 30, 2022 at 1:14 am #

      Did Putin start this war? The Ukies were massing on the border of the Donbass – after years of relentless shelling.

      Similarly, the Russians were massing on the borders with Poland. War was inevitable so he struck first.

      You are still falling for Allied propaganda and its false “humane” view of history.

      • Jarek August 30, 2022 at 1:19 am #

        He being Hitler. And earlier, the Poles were slaughtering German civilians in a former part of Germany given to the Poles. What kind of leader would allow that? Putin is of the same mettle. Try to get it straight in your mind. Freedom begins between the ears and you are not a free man yet.

    Anmariwhateverthefuck…you’re weird, but somehow prescient. Remember, the earth is at least 5 billion years old and humankind’s destruction of it is but a drop in the bucket. We’re in the part of the funnel where the coin spins faster and faster, and there’s no turning back now. Humankind’s greatest shortcoming is its failure to understand the exponential function. Our rate of destruction will only accelerate from here.

    • MaryQueen August 29, 2022 at 9:09 pm #

    • Woodchuck August 29, 2022 at 10:54 pm #

      Well, yes, in a way. Humankind also comes up short in in managing our rate of reproduction. We get overcome by horniness, stop thinking about the exponential function and limits to growth. Not enough food? – who cares at this moment?

      We instead are experiencing a faster and faster spinning in the funnel of lust and become totally focused on getting into his or her pants. After the baby arrives along with bills to pay then the ideas of sustainability might reappear. How much room do we have on the planet for more arrivals, and when do we stop? It must stop at some point – if you understand mathematics.

            I’m not feminist myself due to having encountered a lot of feminism in my extended family. Anyone with a lot academic types in their extended family will know what I’m talking about. Once you’ve had very personal encounters with feminism as child, with domineering women wanting to be like men – well – it leaves a very sour taste in your mouth that never goes away. These women raise pussy and confused feminized males who are forced to hang around indoors all day long with the feminist females. Nowadays we call them elementary school teachers, and most are all feminists.

            Ha-bad is a lineage of Kabbalah. One of the many lineages of Hasidism. The Hasids, were a mystical, Kabbalistic movement begun by the Baal Shem in the 1700’s I believe.

            Ha-bad is marked by its organizational genius and its full entrance into the modern world without giving up its mysticism and piety, or at least that’s their ideal.

            The Kabbalah and the Talmud are one system in Judaism. Ha-bad retains all the venom for non-Jews that is part of parcel of the latter. Of course some of us admire the Kabbalah but not the Talmud. But that is not the Orthodox Jewish pov, though surely some liberal Jews feel the same.

    Re: the ongoing discussion of the Vaxx

    The effects of the s protein are all encompassing affecting all systems containing the blood pressure control receptor ACE2. That is slowly being established and being moved from the conjecture category to the fact category.

    I would like to add my two cents worth.

    All of this vaxx toxicity would not be happening if one thing had happened, the injection model the mRNA folks handle us were true. This is the The Great Lie of the Vaxx.

    Injection of the mRNA particle into the deltoid muscle means that all the body’s reactions will occur in the muscle and only a very tiny, maybe, part will escape into the bloodstream.

    Anyone who has given IM injection knows this is total BS. Properly done, a back pull on the syringe checks that the needle tip is not in a blood vessel. Remember the vaxx assembly lines? How many of those IM shots were done properly to ensure no transfer of mRNA to the circulatory system happened?

    Another look at a data point here. Muscles saturated with large amounts of blood vessels will logically have a greater chance of getting the mRNA directly into the bloodstream.

    Like with athletes!!

    The mRNA folks have duped the government and the people with their bullshit muscle injection model. If true, the model would have prevented the bad aspects of blood borne transport of the mRNA particles. The proof of the pudding is that it did not work and 150 million folks are walking around with the immunological damage of direct mRNA transfer to the circulatory and lymph systems.

    Now, add onto that some recent data says that the possibility of reverse transcriptase is happening, in liver cells, causing a DNA change in the nucleus that may be perpetuating antigen presentation on cell surfaces causing perpetual inflammation.

    Personally, a suspicious change. My daughter has developed autoimmune problems, potentially
    Lupus in the future. T0 will probably be actually getting the virus, which she did, but she has also been shot twice and boosted as she is a teacher.

    My model is that because the vaxx enters the bloodstream in an uncontrolled fashion, it is equivalent to getting the disease as far as the immune system is concerned. So the effects of both infection and the vaxx are accumulative.

    Especially if the reverse transcriptase occurance is proven.

    Impossible, sayeth the mRNA folks. We shall see. The same folks that say that no mRNA escapes into the blood.

    Perpetual inflammation could be the downfall of the Vaxx. Exactly why it will never be investigated by Uncle Sam.

      The mRNA folks ARE the government. Our “Representatives’ are just Their lap dogs and fetch boys and girls. Also know as harlots for being sellouts for pay and self-interest.

      When the history of the Covid Con Era is written by another group of sellout harlots who will memorialize our era for whatever form of Wikipedia is on the Great Reset Web in the coming future days… the mRNA folks will be championed as the Heroes of The Age. They ‘did what was necessary’ to rid the Planet of the excess population so that They… the very cream of the human family… could survive and keep Earth from being destroyed by the useless riff-raff.

      It ‘was a tough choice’ for Them but They ‘had to make that courageous choice and show leadership in a time of great existential crisis!’ It will be that kind of horse crap that will be the defining narrative for our current age of death and deceit and sanctioned human population erasure for the benefit of a tiny group of vicious and soulless psychopaths with delusions of godhood.

    msn.com/en-us/news/politics/evidence-of-democrats-conspiracy-to-sway-2020-election-getting-too-big-to-hide/ar-AA11gBaM?ocid=msnews

    Much of the attention paid to allegations of interference in the 2020 election has focused on former President Donald Trump’s claims of voter fraud and malfeasance. However, potential fraud at the polls is far less disturbing than the growing body of evidence that Democrats, the FBI, Big Tech, and legacy media worked together — right out in the open — to put President Joe Biden in the White House.

    At least a dozen FBI whistleblowers have reached out to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), ranking members of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees, respectively, to inform them that, in the months leading up to the election, bureau insiders tried to scuttle the investigation into Hunter Biden’s foreign business adventures. Their modus operandi was to label the story as Russian disinformation.

    One whistleblower told the Republicans that FBI leadership deliberately slow-walked the investigation into Hunter Biden because they didn’t want it to have an effect on the 2020 presidential election.

    Yep, folks it appears the Donald is not the evil orange slug the leftist media and Democrats have been saying.

      No surprises here whatsoever. The Borg had decided (actually, commanded) it would be anybody but Trump, and Biden just happened to be the next greatest fool available at the time. Particularly convenient as well, as he had a life or death stake in the Ukraine caper, meaning he wouldn’t spit the bit at the last minute about starting a full-scale war there with Russia. Why should Biden care? He’s already far exceeded his shelf life both politically and mortally anyway. They’ll be hard pressed to find a better stooge than him when he finally gives up the ghost.

        Mark Crispin Miller believes that the election of Trump (which he thinks was fraudulent*, like both 2004 and 2020 – he even wrote a book about 2004) was absolutely critical to the covid narrative.

        He was set up as a buffoon, so that when he backed hydroxychloroquine, everyone was able to jump on it with derision. Which led to the ‘single solution’, ivermectin having not made its entrance very loudly at that point.

        *Even Trump was surprised to win – he and his speech writer had not even prepared a speech.

        • MaryQueen August 30, 2022 at 11:39 am #

          I’m with Mark there. I also remember Greg Palast doing great work about the stolen elections of 2000 & 2004 but he shut up as soon as Democrats got into office.

          I’m glad that Miller is nonpartisan, he’s much more reliable on all this stuff.

          I listened to MC Miller on that belief, GA. I generally enjoy his takes, but disagree with him here. His hypotheticals don’t convince me.

          There’s too much desperation and focus on eliminating Trump as a political player for it to be a hyped-up in-club wrestling fiction. I’m surprised there aren’t more Trumps, willing — even if he’s deluded and naive in many ways — to battle the Deep State. Even in totalitarian systems throughout the past century, there were always brave souls who fought layers of enormous power, even though they knew it most likely would result in ostracization and death.

        • Blackbird August 30, 2022 at 6:23 pm #

          I think Trump was allowed to win in order to polarize the country, to set it up for the war in the Ukraine, “Covid”, and the white-punishing, bug-eating world of the Great Reset.

          Those who liked what they heard Trump saying could be dismissed as deplorables. Those repelled by Trump doubled down on their trust-the-narrative delusions.

          Those who want to eat bugs, get vaxxed, or invite Drag Queen Story Hour to town, are more fervent in their beliefs than they would be if Trump had not been elected.

            I don’t believe Trump was allowed to win. He surprised the deep state. Scared the hell out of them in fact. That is why they went over the top trying to destroy him, his reputation and his family. The left has gone completely rabid in their condemnation and hatred of Trump. They have used illegal not to mention immoral means and methods, trying to get him out of office. They blatantly stole a presidential election and installed one of the most hated left wing ideologues in the country into the presidency. They rubbed the noses of middle, working class, right leaning people in the political stench. Don’t kid yourself. The Dems and Reps are working together on all of this. If America has any balls left, it will all come to a head in the coming elections, maybe in the mid terms, certainly by the presidential election. It may get ugly as the uni-party has most of the power. They control the MIC, therefore they have a huge advantage, but there still are a lot of pissed off people who don’t have a lot to lose.

      I get why people are interested in discussing “retail” news, but there are countless other web sites that satisfy that need.

      It would be nice if this space maintained a standard of addressing the “why”? Why GW 1 & 2, why 9-11, why covid/Vax, why Ukraine, why Biden?

      Perhaps even more than just why, the more alarming aspect is that now operations are conducted out in the open, with no concern of public reaction, “Electoral” results, oversight, judicial process, etc.

      Ask yourself the why about that facet, and I think you’d soon tire of holding any interest about what has already occurred, but rather would be engaged in being hyper alert with all spider senses firing about the next shoe getting ready to drop.

        So they are openly and blatantly carrying out their illegal and immoral actions, rubbing it the faces of those of us who still think that the laws and standards of human decency should be followed.

    Well, ladies and germs;

    This AM;’s Situational Awareness reports something that should put a bit of “lead in your pencil”…(I do not know what the female equivalent of that phrase might be…help me out if you know).

    Democrats, including the president, have ramped up rhetoric against Trump Republicans. Following Biden’s “semi-fascism” remark, Democratic adviser Kurt Bardella said that, “The Republican Party is basically a domestic terrorist cell at this point, and they should be treated as such.” Fox News this morning ran an article cataloging remarks, which include multiple accusations of terrorism and fascism. [source: https://www.foxnews.com/media/bidens-semi-fascist-label-latest-anti-gop-moniker-bestowed-democrats-media%5D

    Analyst Comment: The midterms are in two months, Biden’s approval is underwater, and Democrats are focused on voter turnout to keep the Senate and lower their margin of loss in the House. At best, the strategy of painting Republicans as terrorists and fascists is meant to bolster Democrats’ chances in November by winning moderates scared by the perception of Republican extremism. At worst, this could be akin to a “shaping operation” prior to a large political development.

    Shaping operations are activities designed to “shape” the battlefield, which in counterinsurgency can include psychological and information operations used to soften up targets and convince the populace to support, or at least not actively oppose, future operations.

    Well, first they came for the Godless Commies, and since I was not a commie, I did nothing.

    Then they came for the pederasts…and since I am not a pederast (trust me on this), I did nothing.

    Now, it appears, theat they will be coming for the “loyal opposition”…Sweet Jesus….

    Oh yeah, and they go on further to suggest that Biden will renew efforts to curtail, contain, or actually outlaw the ownership of…assault weapons….

    This game isn’t fun anymore.

            The mealworms alive and eaten raw would be less slimy.

            Had a bearded dragon I used to feed mealworms, crickets and when I could handle it pinkies dusted in calcium powder.

            At one point I started farming them and allowing them to grow into beetles and then lay eggs had I a bit more room at the time I would have considered making a small business out of it.
            They smelled pretty bad but ate scraps and the worm casings made great fertilizer.

    • Anthea August 31, 2022 at 5:50 am #

      @ wwg1wga:

      Okra is a wonderful thing. Insanely productive! We have a 50-foot row of okra, and i’ve been struggling to keep up with it, as you have to pick the young pods at least every other day. (Every day would probably be better.) Yesterday’s picking netted me two quarts of frozen okra and three pints of pickled okra–and that’s after discarding all but the choicest of the okra pods–at least half of them. A few of the discards were added to the previous day’s corn chowder with shrimp. (Dump a bunch of broiled shrimp in with a can of Del Monte corn with peppers, and add some seasonings. Obviously, the shrimp is broiled in butter and olive oil with garlic and scallions, if you have them.)

      Our tomatoes are now ripening very slowly, though we were drowning in ripe tomatoes for about three weeks. Now there are never enough all at one time to can, so they go in boxes in the freezer. I’ll can them after the okra and peppers slow down.

      I found an online recipe for canning green tomatoes for frying. The trick to making good fried green tomatoes is to let them sit on the countertop until they begin to get a little color.

      The plan for today is to can roasted poblanos and preserve the Hungarian Hot Wax Peppers in olive oil with garlic and basil. Roasting peppers is a lot of trouble, but totally worth it.

    • Paula D August 31, 2022 at 11:42 am #

      My okra got too big but it turns out that the seeds are as good for you as crickets, so I pressure cooked the pods and added the seeds to various meals They are pretty tasty.

      • Anthea August 31, 2022 at 11:42 pm #

        @ Paula D:

        Okra pods always get too big too fast to keep up with them. I snip off the ones that have grown to the size of cow horns and harvest the young pods. I figure that snipping off the big ones encourages more production, as with dead-heading flowers. There are always new young pods in with the big old stringy ones.

        I think I harvested somewhere between five and ten pounds of poblanos today, and we only have about six poblano plants–which were falling over from the weight of the peppers. I was planning to go back out to the garden later to pick the jalapenos, but life got in the way. I’ll probably be roasting and canning poblanos all day tomorrow.

        • Paula D September 1, 2022 at 9:02 pm #

          God is also Lord over all of the material world. But it seems like many people don’t consider that side of things. Preferring to focus on the spiritual unseen aspects and the afterlife. Not that that should not receive attention or focus. But I agree with you that there has to be way more of a balance that matches closer to reality. If we were a healthy intact culture we would actually likely have annual celebrations of the defeat of the Indians. We would not be ashamed or shy of taking what we needed. But yet here we are constantly in a state of contrition simply because we exist. While the newcomers and the enablers who are taking everything celebrate openly in our destruction.

          • Anthea August 31, 2022 at 6:12 am #

            “Pushing the Indians out of the way” was an inevitability. It’s kind of hard to figure why anyone would think that two vast and very thinly populated continents could have been or should have been left virtually empty.

      “geopolitical website? Whatever turns your crank.”

      This is a geopolitical website. Why have you been here for over a decade then?

      “oil has quietly crept up and may soon top $100/bbl again. Happy times are here again, if you own an oil company, that is.”

      Our host on this geopolitical website has told us that the sweet spot for oil companies is around $70/barrel. Too far below and profits tank. Too far above (inc. $100/barrel) and demand destruction tanks sales.

      Back to school for you.

        SF tom is just quirky and occasionally abrasive. He is just saying that the oil companies make more money when oil prices rise. And he says without saying that the pain at the pump will not be happy times for those who are not oil companies. The Demrats are banking on people being happy that gas prices have gone down to boost their votes in the upcoming midterms pageant. What if you found out that tom clark was actually the school teacher? Well i brought an apple to class for the teacher lol 🙂

    It looks like the Affirmative Action ‘Artemis’ space ship launch failed — rocket fuel leaked all over the tarmac, massive fireball narrowly averted.

    This is NASA’s ‘Inclusive & Welcoming’ mission designed to put Women and People of Color on the moon’s surface, not racist, supremacist, misogynistic White Men.

    Of course, any mission failure IS the fault of White Men, who undoubtedly sabotaged the launch due to their hatred of women and BIPOCs ahahahahaha ahahahaha ahahahahaha!

    Apocalyptic scenes in Poland as citizens show up at the Coal Mine by the thousands, long lines of Subarus and Mercedes driven by people DESPERATE TO GET COAL, loading shovelfuls of coal into their trunk and backseat spaces — a black market has developed already — Poles afraid for their very existence when winter strikes.

    The ‘Transition to Renewables’ has been put to the test, and has been found wanting. Its coal that trust to keep them from freezing to death this winter. Coal! King Coal!

    There’s actually a large billboard overlooking a major highway near where I live touting the Repub candidate for gov in this fall’s election and his running mate (a retired pro football player, BTW), claiming they will lower oil prices. Good luck, guys.

    • SoftStarLight August 30, 2022 at 4:37 pm #

      Well teacher tom, gas prices did go down when Trump was your el Presidente. That is because he actually allowed for domestic production. Given that Repubs would allow domestic production prices would likely go down. But that doesn’t get to your long term concerns of course so I know why you don’t like it. It’s always best to descend a staircase slowly with a touch of caution. Only people who want to do harm push others down the stairs. Is that clarifying for you?

      • Rhett Dawson August 30, 2022 at 10:44 pm #

        Americans are 4% of Earth. They consume 15% of the oil. US Administrations can affect oil price at the margin with production increments and/or strategic reserve dumps – but nothing more than that as the oil market is global and each US Administration rides that global wave claiming far more autonomy than they actually have.

    And now for our regular recurring PSA for new readers and commenters to this space:

    When we speak of biosphere degradation, when we mention population overshoot, and when we describe the resource surplus-peak-scarcity arc, we are referring to YOU.

    You, me and everyone else that comprises the 8 billion souls on this finite planet are (1) part of the problem; but more importantly – and please focus on this aspect (2) would NOT even be here if not for the one time miracle of discovering 200 million years of stored solar energy.

    So, the age old question is once again asked: is it better to have loved and lost, or never have loved in the first place?

    Second, billions of years of evolutionary pressure have resulted in the most primitive, core survival instincts found in even single cell organisms. In other words, one can intellectualize our situation until the cows come home, but no one is volunteering their lives to ‘save the planet’.

    Which means one of the manifestations of survival is fight or flee. The great masses wish to flee aka live in peace, be left alone, etc, but a small percentage have resolved to fight.

    This is the position of the Party, the deep state, the MIC, WEF, CIA, FBI and any other organization that has experience wielding power has taken.

    The, more than anyone else (except us) know exactly what’s in store, and aim to ride the wave, if only to step back onto shore with their hair still dry. In other words, they aim to win.

    Now, when you follow retail news, you can now not only satisfy the why, but you can also surmise why they no longer care about exposure, or waste any energy attempting to hide their actions.

    This is what should be triggering any deep spidey senses – we’re a lot closer than many might have previously thought, which also suggests the next shoe is getting ready to drop to really get this party started.

    • Soul Forensics August 30, 2022 at 5:20 pm #

      Good post. And refreshingly free of complaining about the complainers.

      The soon-to-be accelerated mayhem is particularly relevant. The latest stage — ‘Covid’ intro to now — has been about psychological acceptance from the masses. TPTB must’ve been filled with glee. “We got away with that last outrageousness that easily?” It’s emboldened them, which is why their 2030 timelines, on many rollouts, have been fast-forwarded to 2023-2025.

    • Slugoon August 30, 2022 at 5:22 pm #

      Populations of species always tend just above the food supply, in other words, they live permanently near the edge of starvation. This has always been true of humans too. If one year brought a bad harvest people were expected to die. And they did.

      Fossil fuels have just been one more resource that has enlarged the food supply (and enabled all the other trappings and technology of modern life).

      The differences now are that (1) any crash/die-off will be monumental, and (2) technology exists that can attempt to control our entire species and manage the downslope. This is what the WEF-types are up to. But I don’t think they can succeed. Wait till a few billion go cold and hungry. Without a functioning society there is no life for them either.

It’s pretty clear that endgame for WEF elitists & Climate Cranks — in order to bring global temps down 1.5°C by 2100 — is the liquidation of a large part of the population. That’s the Final Solution to cool the earth. All this other bullsh#t — EVs, windmills, eating bugs — is just f#kking around.

        Well , already addressed , faster than I could type !

        But I’ll speak my two cents anyway ;

        The trouble with euthanasia laws ALWAYS is that it is never that YOU get to decide .

        A committee of people who don’t even know you get to decide.

        And soon enough the committee doesn’t even bother to ask for your vote , much less veto , in the matter.

        But it’s all common sense really.

        The real authority, or the real freedom , is in the veto.

        When was the last time you recall anyone seriously proposing giving a veto to peasants ?

        If you REALLY wanted to help folks out , The only organization or institution required would be a printing press and a stack of paper ,

        Print out a few million pamphlets at 3 cents apiece telling folks how to do it.

        A euthanasia law , or medicine, would scarcely be required.

        That things are so complicated is a gigantic clue that it’s all a wracket , all lies.

          As a result of famine during the last Grand Solar Minimum, there was not enough food for a lot of the horses back then in the early 1800’s, and some of them got eaten instead of being used for transportation. There was a shortage of horses. So a necessity led an enterprising fellow to invent the bicycle as a substitute for horses. Today’s bikes are better and easier to use for personal transportation than are horses. We are just now entering the next new period of temporary climate change to cold and unpredictable weather. Due to resource shortages, we’ll be riding lots of bicycles during this time.

          • BackRowHeckler August 31, 2022 at 8:59 am #

            An interesting photo exists of the execution of Tom Horn in Wyoming in 1903. Quite dramatically, it shows Horn being led to the gallows from jail, followed by mobs of townspeople either riding or pushing BICYCLES! Not a horse to be seen. Horn is thought of as an Old West character, which indeed he was — but by 1903 bikes had replaced horses as the principal mode of in town transportation in Wyoming.

            Jack London (1876-1914) writes about this transformation in Oakland, Cal., too. London’s prized possession as a boy in the 1890s was his Columbia bicycle. Actually, reading about the intersectionality between bicycles, motorcycles, gas powered automobiles, electric cars & and the development of the modern paved road system is quite interesting. It’s all connected. For example, Hiram Maxim’s, (inventor of the machine gun) nephew and brother were engineers at Columbia bicycle and Electric car company — were early proponents of paved roads and came up with the concept of limited access highways. Maxim also invented the gun silencer, which he adopted to automobiles known as the muffler.

            I’ve spent a bit of time around horses. They are more dangerous than dirtbikes and they also leave vast amounts of poop behind them wherever they are. There are hours of boring chores involved, including shoveling shit out of barns. You must do all this yourself unless you are well off enough to hire others to do it. As you are out hauling hay in winter and filling feed troughs, the thought will occur that you are spending money to feed these beasts and then have to be shoveling all the shit that results.

            Bicycles have no such problems or issues. Very likely, we’ll still be using horses a lot during the long emergency, but for doing heavy lifting, pulling wagons and plows etc. For heading over to a neighbors house or to the store, a mountain bike will work perfectly on the poor roads that we’ll have then. Asphalt is a by product of refining petroleum. When you stop making ff motor fuels you also stop getting a vital byproduct for building smooth roads.

          I didn’t, don’t consider Raygun so altruistic. He had the working class fooled. I thought he was a Wall St. shill. He was responsible for the amnesty of millions of illegal aliens. He decimated labor unions.(good/bad depending upon station in life) He waged guerilla warfare all over the planet and caused the death and suffering of probably hundreds of thousands if not millions of people. His CIA minions were especially ruthless, using torture and murder among their methods. Ronnie Raygun was certainly not altruistic to anyone other than his own peers.

            It didn’t matter what the people thought, the leaders were promised great riches by the US and they signed the papers to break it up.

        I love the quote from the Godfather:

        Kay: I thought you weren’t going to become a man like your father. That’s what you told me.
        Michael: My father’s no different from any other powerful man. Any man who’s responsible for other people. Like a senator or president.
        Kay: You know how naïve you sound? Senators and presidents don’t have men killed.
        Michael: Oh. Who’s being naïve, Kay?

        JHK excellent observation into our existence. I went to jury selection today, and it said to dress respectfully. So coming from working overnights, I ran home changed into business casual, and my surprise, shorts and tee shirts were the norm, plus extended lectures about Unconscious bias (also known as implicit bias), a video , and multiple lectures from Judge and attorneys. OH must show card or wear a mask, but I am triple vaxxed I told them, because of hospital work and our lovely Governor.NO matter, must show your papers.

          Was the video about how you must never, never think of using jury nullification, except the words “jury nullification” were not used?

          Cause that is what happened when I went to jury duty. The video, a lecture from the opening ceremonialist AND a lecture from the judge.
          All of them sternly telling that we had to follow the law as told to us by the judge, no matter how stupid or wrong we thought it was to jail someone for breaking such a law.

    Whenever I hear the word ” good ” applied to a person , I think of the movie , ” Good Fellas” .

    In the movie , a ” good fella ” is ;

    Someone who never worked a day in their life —

    — except to sell hard drugs to high school kids ,

    Steal from poor people ,

    and murder former close associates ,

    at grossly inflated wages.

    ….one must know their limitations and that of others; ESPECIALLY polymaths.

    Rather than endeavoring to change the world, it is best to transform into a hyper-localized existence, with the creation, sharing, and extending of halcyon moments, for the many, at peace, as the moral imperative AND the reality.

    The teaching of citizens to Go. Out. and Do. for the good of themselves, their community, and their planet, is the only instruction that matters.

    ALL else is vanity and folly, like the chasing of the wind.

    • Anthea August 31, 2022 at 12:18 pm #

      Yes. Sometimes people who would like a better world and who are frustrated that they can’t improve the world at large forget that they do have a very real sphere of influence, however small, that they do have the power to improve. In Blake’s words, they can “build a heaven in hell’s despite.” There’s another quote, whose source I can’t remember, about how “much work can be accomplished in the darkness, with even a very small light.”

      Just treating others with honesty and generosity (and courtesy) goes a long ways. I used to tell kids in my classroom that the whole basis of courtesy is showing a kind and generous spirit towards others–a gift you can give, even if you have nothing else to give. I also used to tell my own kids that you treat others with respect, not because of who they are, but because of who you are.

      You can have a family life where family members treat each other with respect and their words offer kindness and encouragement–or you could have a family life where everyone is always snarling at everyone else and trying to injure them in some way. To quote Jane Austen, there should be “no raised voices, no tread of violence.”

      So there’s a lot you can do, even in the most straitened circumstances.

      Don’t be one of those people who wants to “help people,” but who won’t take out the trash.

          “Cognitive quirks only go so far in explaining why people believe conspiracy theories. It’s also important to consider the environmental factors at play.

          “A key element is the extent to which you are exposed to conspiratorial ideas,” said Gordon Pennycook, a professor of behavioral science at the University of Regina who researches reasoning and decision-making. “No one is reflective enough to bat away literally everything that they come across that’s false. Things will seep in if you’re repeatedly introduced to them.”

Or just drawing lines and arrows on supermarket floors. How’s that for a conspiracy theory?

            You have a notion that a whole bunch of scientists and doctors, who are not paid by government or NGOs or billionaires to express the views that they express, unlike those who espouse the official narrative, are making stuff up, inventing statistics (that they nevertheless glean from publicly available sources) and pretending to have successfully treated patients you presumably think they haven’t treated, and are, in addition, inventing sick, damaged and dead people that you presumably think don’t exist.

            I’d call that a conspiracy theory myself.

            Chetty debunk now, please. It’s only half an hour. I previously asked you to debunk one of the Doctors for Covid Ethics symposia, which included post-mortem histopathology findings on a selection of post-vaxx deceased, so you’re getting off lightly in terms of homework.

            I’ve read enough from Dr Chetty to know that he’s just as far down the rabbit hole as you lot are.

            edcdeveloper.wordpress.com/2022/01/14/spike-protein-is-poison-to-kill-billions-globally-without-anyone-noticing-dr-shankara-chetty/

            I happily admit that I have insufficient scientific knowledge to do any sort of “PhD level” debunking myself, but interestingly I can only find one article that even bothers to scientifically debunk his methods – the most telling statement is “unintelligible nonsense”:

            “COVID-19 pneumonia vs. an allergic reaction:

            The claim is “unintelligible nonsense,” said Dr. Mark Schleiss, a pediatrics professor and faculty member in the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at the University of Minnesota.

            COVID-19 pneumonia is not an allergic reaction, Schleiss said, but mast cell activation — the triggering of the release of mediators — is one of the body’s reactions to COVID-19 pneumonia.

            “Mast cell activation is just a part of the myriad of downstream phenomena that occur with viral pneumonia,” Schleiss said.

            Many things other than allergies can trigger mast cell activation, said Schleiss, including eczema, swelling from an injury, or an infection like pneumonia. It’s a part of the reaction to something — not the cause.

            He likened the Facebook claim to a person suffering a broken nose from a fistfight, and blaming the redness and swelling on mast cell activation, rather than the punch or the fracture.

            Dr. Pranatharthi Chandrasekar, division chief of infectious diseases at Wayne State University in Detroit, said people shouldn’t even use the word “allergy” in describing COVID-19 pneumonia. That’s not how the illness works.

            “It’s wrong to say. It gives the wrong representation that … the person may be allergic to the virus,” Chandrasekar said. “This is (a) virus attacking the body, and in return, the immune system is reacting.”

            Chandrasekar explained how COVID-19 can turn into pneumonia: Within seven to 10 days, the virus first attacks the throat, and then begins descending into the lungs. It attacks the lungs, which causes viral pneumonia.

            “The immune system is triggered because of the viral illness, so the immune system (goes) astray,” he said.

            Dr. Meilan King Han, professor of medicine in the division of pulmonary and critical care at the University of Michigan, pointed to a published study in the open-access journal Nature. It showed that COVID-19 has triggered mast cell degranulation, which resulted in hyper-inflammation and injury to the lung. But, Han said, this certainly isn’t the only thing that the virus does to our lungs.

            Symptoms of COVID-19 induced pneumonia include shortness of breath, increased heart rate and low blood pressure. Houston Methodist, the big hospital and health system, says that COVID-19 pneumonia can occur in both lungs, and recovery can take from several weeks up to many months. Healthline reports that treatment for COVID-19 pneumonia often requires oxygen therapy, and antibiotics if the viral pneumonia causes a bacterial infection.

            “After severe pneumonia, lung capacity is reduced, and muscles may be weak from being so ill,” Houston Methodist says on its website.

            Both Chandrasekar and Schleiss agree that COVID-19 induced pneumonia is unlike other forms of pneumonia. But just because it can strike quickly, that doesn’t mean it’s similar to allergies.

            “I have been at the bedside of children who died of COVID pneumonia, I’m sad to say,” said Schleiss. “It comes on pretty fast.”

            politifact.com/factchecks/2022/jan/25/facebook-posts/doctors-dispute-claim-covid-19-pneumonia-actually-/

            So, that looks at, and disagrees with, Chetty’s assessment of the actual disease. It doesn’t critique his treatment protoculs or their efficacy – but that’s no longer the point. The point now is just how ‘rabbit holed’ Chetty has clearly become (viz: “spike-protein-is-poison-to-kill-billions-globally-without-anyone-noticing-dr-shankara-chetty”)
            which makes him a perfect ‘shiny object’ for you et al to hold up as saintly evidence. In fact, he’s just as nutty as you are, which is why no self-respecting scientist has even bothered to refute his views beyond what I’ve offered above.

            Conversely, you’re saying precisely the same thing but about the majority (significant majority) of the medical community – that these millions of scientists are all conscious liars and in the pay of “They” (who are, as yet to be clearly defined anywhere, by anyone).

            You’re saying these ‘dissident’ doctors are bravely speaking out at great personal & professional risk because they’re the only ones who know ‘the truth’ and ‘care enough’. I say humbug.

            You’re too funny for words. You haven’t ‘debunked’ Dr Chetty, just repeated some nonsense from some colllaborators, including (contain hysterical laughter) Politifact.

            “It doesn’t critique his treatment protoculs [sic*] or their efficacy – but that’s no longer the point..”

            It was exactly the point of my original challenge because if Dr Chetty’s treatment protocol – like several other available protocols – entirely obviates the need for a ‘vaccine’ because he lost not one single patient out of 7000, you have some explaining to do as to why we have a ‘vaccine’ at all, especially when it is killing and maiming people, and why all doctors and nurses weren’t given that protocol from the get-go, instead of being forced to cover themselves in plastic and take ‘vaccinations’ which everyone who’s not living under a rock knows make not the slightest difference to a person’s capacity to infect another person. And why Dr Chetty’s and others’ clearly successful protocols were not globally advertised, as opposed to being globally censored.

            Over to you, nitwit.

            ‘Conversely, you’re saying precisely the same thing but about the majority (significant majority) of the medical community – that these millions of scientists are all conscious liars and in the pay of “They” ‘

            Every NHS doctor is under the thumb of the GMC, the NHS and the Health Security Agency (it used to be plain old Public Health England but it had to be renamed mid-‘pandemic’ to facilitate the smearing of anyone considered to be saying ‘harmful’ things). Dr Sam White (England) and Dr Anne McCloskey (Derry, NI) spoke out and both were suspended from practice. The GMC also advised him to undergo a psychiatric assessment, Soviet style. (Dr White took the GMC to the High Court and was found to have had his rights to free speech wrongly curtailed by the GMC.) Most doctors have big mortgages and have families to feed.

            Dr Meryl Nass, in the US, had her licence removed for speaking out and was obliged to undergo a Soviet-style psychiatric assessment. Others have been unaffiliated or sacked for pointing out provable facts.

            Everyone who speaks out is also at the mercy of our parasitic mainstream media and Big Tech companies, who will destroy their reputations before you can say ‘vaccine injury’. Also, many doctors are psychologically invested in believing the narrative, because if they were introduced to the truth, they’d be need post-traumatic stress counselling as a result of (a) their participation in crimes against humanity and (b) the fact that they have unwittingly harmed themselves.

            If you go on to the UK Column site, you will find an interview that was put up yesterday between Brian Gerrish and a former BSkyB/ITV executive and whistleblower who has testified as to the global instruction from Ofcom (UK media regulator) that no news source was to criticise the government’s narrative in any way. I haven’t listened to the full interview yet, but I heard him testify to that particular point months ago. I would seriously suggest you listen to it, when your terrors of knowing the truth give you some remission.

            I have rarely come across such a frightened rabbit as yourself. Have you got your 4th jab lined up? Is social disapproval at the pub scarier than what the jabs are doing to people? I have some friends with post-vaxx dead friends and relatives who’d probably wish they’d listened to me, if they could just get over their cognitive dissonance and Stockholm syndrome.

    The refusal of the parasitic divergent elite operating the American-Euro, Chinese, and Russian empires to seek peace, has led the earth-human experiment, once again, to the eve of destruction.

    Rockefeller-Kissinger-Nixon embracing Mao 50 years ago as a successful model of governance and control, may prove to be fatal to the western civilization experiment.

    I’m wondering: “lead our country back to itself”…What exactly is that self to which we need to be led back? “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll wind up someplace else” as Yogi Berra reminded us.

    Also, who is the “we” who possesses “our” country? Does that “we” really exist? I’d submit that the only ones who possess this country are the plutocrats, the “owners”, as I believe George Carlin called them.

      Once upon a time Korea was one country.

      60 years ago.

      True enough , most South Koreans have relatives in North Korea.

      But refer back to that 60 – years – ago part.

      Most South Koreans still breathing who REMEMBER their North Korean relatives are now in nursing homes , on their way out.

      The rest NEVER met their North Korean relatives , have never seen them , never spoken to them , etc.

      Somewhere along the line somebody figured out that the cost of re – absorbing and re – assimilating North Korea would at this point be absolutely astronomical.

      Do you REALLY want 50 or 100 of your DESTITUTE relatives to show up for a long stay ?

      Well , since South Korea actually became something like a democracy in the 1980’s —

      ( before the 1980’s South Korea was a dictatorship every bit as brutally repressive as the North )

      — South Koreans have pretty consistently voted for politicians AGAINST reunification with the North.

      I’m sure there are several reasons why North Korea still endures.

      But certainly one reason is because their relatives don’t really want them anymore .

      What’s all that got to do with the U.S. ?

      While there may be such a thing as sophisticated nationalism?

      Most of what has been imbibed as nationalism in the U.S . is a grossly simplistic religion of the snake – handling , faith – healing , Anton – LeVey- is – actually- taken – seriously, variety.

      Another way I suppose of putting it is that for 80 years Madison Avenue and Hollywood told Yankees that America was one culture ,

      and wealth induces people to believe the stupidest fucking bullshit.

      Now , though , the money is running out , and in any case Yankees are now learning that no matter what state they move to , they are running into people that despise them more than Southerners or Indians ever did.

      “There is another side of this life, in case all that has got you demoralized. That is the side where human beings say things that comport with reality, where people mean what they say and use language as if it evolved to describe things and doings with some exactitude — as in this is this and that is that… and not the inverse or opposite. That is the side of life where pretending is not the highest-and-best use of human intelligence. I know, these days it’s hard to imagine that side of life, but it’s actually still there, waiting to be reanimated.”

    Dear JHK Admin,
    “As Russia advances implacably there and financial sanctions fizzle, behold the scramble in Europe now among citizens desperate to not freeze to death in the months ahead. This is the third time in a hundred-odd years that Germany has attempted suicide, and this time it looks like it’s going to work. Farewell nice German cars, machine tools, and other symbols of industrial might. In feckless Poland, the folks are out gathering lumps of coal and scouring the forest floor for firewood — they’re forbidden by law from cutting standing timber. Mr. Macron tells France she must accept “reduced living standards.” Looks like Brexit did not go far enough as the UK holds hands with the rest of NATO tromping into economic oblivion.”

    I gain great comfort from your predictions about the Ukraine-Russian War. So far, none of your predictions have come true. And you have been predicting Ukraine’s imminent collapse, Russia’s inevitable victory, and Europe’s surrender for six months now. I don’t think you are wrong that Russia will win and “crush” Ukraine, but it will almost certainly not be through conventional warfare as you have suggested. Russia will resort to nuclear weapons to reset the battlefield, if as I suspect, the Kherson pocket looks like it will be liquidated. You may not want to agree with my assessment, but the number of ways out of the Russian bridgehead are very limited, and with a Russian leader channeling some very bad authoritarian impulses concerning holding “Russian lands regained through the sacred blood of Chechen, whoops, Russian soldiers” the odds that the Russians will overstay their welcome will be increasing daily. IF that is true, Putin will use nuclear weapons to avoid such a face-losing disaster or, his genres will remove him from office. Or, it may just be another stalemate amongst many stalemates as Russia bleeds itself. Neither of those outcomes comes anywhere near to your unsubstantiated confidence in Russia’s ability to dictate the terms of victory WITHOUT nuclear weapons.

    As for Europe. What do you think “feckless” means regarding Poland? Lacking strength of character? What would you have the Poles do, JHK Admin? Unlike many Americans, they know FULL-WELL what an autocratic Russia is capable of doing. They have the history to prove it. So, Russia’s attempted annexation of Ukraine fits into a larger historical pattern of Russian behaviour. The Poles have every reason to render aid to the Ukrainians. Putin has stated he wants to re-establish Russian hegemony in Eastern/Central Europe. The Poles have zero interest in supporting that desire and are actively resisting it and garnering support for that resistance. Poles have a national history of suffering, and a mythos of meaning surrounding it. They are very different to Americans in this way.

    Perhaps the Poles & other Europeans should turn a blind eye, as you think they should. After all, the Russians wouldn’t ever use their economic leverage over energy to force future concessions out of the Poles or Western European countries (after Ukraine’s annexation), because… why exactly do you think that wouldn’t happen? What is to be gained by the Europeans turning a blind eye now? Germany should acquiesce because its only alternative is “national suicide”? Should we assume that you just think that Poland, East Germany, the Baltic States, Finland, etc should just accept that they belong in the Russian sphere of influence and bow before their Russian masters? Because if that is the case, you should just say it, and point out that European struggles to resist Russia are futile because they are resisting the inevitable Eurasian Project, and Russia should be allowed to continue their Eurasianist expansionary agenda without undue hindrance. And if the NATO nations resist Russia’s romantic ardour, well, the nuclear war to be had is ALL NATO’s FAULT….

    Otherwise, I found your blog post fun to read.

      I doubt Germans really want to go back to Stalingrad.

      And I really , really , really doubt they want to do it on their own dime.

      As for the Poles , with all due respect to the Poles , the last time Poland won a war was …………….well, a long fucking time ago.

      In my experience, Poles are in two groups ;

      — Pole’s ON THE AMERICAN TIT , HOPING FOR A US BAIL OUT.

      Gee, why doubt the word of someone who has their hand out ?

      — Pole’s who.dont trust the West one bit more than they do the Russians.

      For good reason ; When Poland trusted the West in 1939 , they got royally fucked , and royally fucked again in 1945.

      Maybe you forgot that part ?

      I could go on , but your bullshit isn’t a fun read.

      • hustled enough September 1, 2022 at 2:25 am #

        Hi KesaAnna,
        One can accept that the Poles have ample reason to treat their alliance with the west with some suspicion, given the history you mention. So, how does that invalidate what I said? It doesn’t. They are the only allies the Poles have–either NATO holds together or it doesn’t–and given Russian incompetence and military shortcomings exposed in Ukraine over the last six months, I think the Poles take some of that action (and the Russians want none of it). Further, the Poles think it is better to fight a war in Ukraine rather than in Poland ….

        And the last time Poland won a war was… 1920, when they kicked the shit out of the Bolsheviks before Warsaw.

        And if you think that “another Stalingrad” is on the cards for the Germans, you haven’t been paying attention to Russian shortcomings exposed in the last six months…

        I agree that the Germans prefer that the Ukrainians pay the dime, so to speak, but neither do they want to be Russia’s plaything.

        I could go on, but …

        Hi Pauls D,
        Look, I get that you want to take the Russian side in this because you feel that the MSM is unreliable. What I don’t get is why you seem so confident in your Russian sources that we know are heavily massaged, censored, and slanted by Russia’s government. So, I don’t get that, at all. Do you have any reliable of figures on Russian dead and casualties? Materiel losses?

        • benr September 1, 2022 at 8:29 am #

          @hustled enough

          Which side is heavily massaged, censored, and slanted by government?

          Mainstream media around the world are told what to say and they present a very slanted view heavily leaning towards one narrative or the other.
          Nazi Germany perfected the art of propaganda and America refined it.
          Russia is no more or less truthful in that regard than any other country.

          • hustled enough September 1, 2022 at 6:47 pm #

            “Russia is no more or less truthful in that regard than any other country.”

            You know benr, arguing that both sides do it doesn’t really cut the mustard. I argue this because the manipulation on the Russian side is out and out censorship. What you are seeing in the West is more subtle than that and no where as egregious.

            The issue is not about “truthfulness” but rather different people have the capacity to engage in understanding multiple perspectives.

            You can see the Russian point of view pretty easily–I know I can and do on the Internet. The thing is that multiple sources from different perspectives is NECESSARY to have some idea of what is going on. Russians do NOT have that opportunity. They get one side only. And you can argue that “both sides do it” but the truth is that they are of different qualities and quantities. That is a FAILURE on the Russian side and that matters.

            My “heuristic” is: I am more likely to trust the side that allows multiple viewpoints, especially those that disagree with the main narrative, rather than a side that censors and tries to make that impossible. I would be interested in understanding why you don’t think the distinction I draw is relevant to your view.

    If it did come to nuclear war , it would be for one of two reasons, or both ;

    — The United States dare not send in its own troops.

    Look at how Americans even to this day whine about their trivial casualties in Vietnam.

    The last time the United States lost the equivalent of a divisions , or two divisions , or three , worth of casualties in a week it was 1864 .

    And the folks who got the definite worst of it , the Southerners , could be safely ignored on that occasion.

    The last time the United States won a war of any significance, they did so primarily with Russian and Chinese bodies.

    ( note , perhaps I need still point out that was Russian and Chinese bodies ON YOUR SIDE. NOT AGAINST YOU. )

    Killing banana republic Panamanians , Grenadines, and Iraqis is one thing ,

    But the United States will do no more than talk shit to North Korea , though North Korea is only about the size of Wisconsin,

    because, gosh , the North Koreans might actually fight !

    ( but then if the two Iraq wars are counted as one war , then the United States again lost , despite again trivial casualties , despite an enemy that was totally out – classed . )

    Yeah , it’s gotta be nuclear war , because the United States cannot , and will not , fight.

    — Some daffy , spoiled brat Fairey tale about justice.

    That is , Nuremberg, and if anyone forgot , or missed the point , ghadaffi and Saddam Hussein, demonstrated that surrender is not an option.

    Only someone who really was stupid , really was crazy , would give themselves up to one of your ” fair ” trials.

    No , the ONLY option is , if you go down , take the bastards with you.

    That’s how I see it.

    Granted , I’m something of a real bitch .

    But presumably Putin , or Kim Jung Un, or Bashar Assad , or whoever Mao clone is running China at the moment , are a lot worse than me.

    So if thats the way I see it , do you seriously think they would see it in a way more convenient to your purposes?

    My guess would be they would make me look like an amateur in cold genocidal calculation.

    This shit ain’t complicated.

    You just really fucking need to lay off watching Judge Judy.

    In either case , or both , yes , nuclear war would be your fault.

        The Vietnam War (not really a “war” of course, since Congress never declared war) started (officially, for us) in August 1964 and ended (officially, for us) in January 1973. 8 years, 5 months. 58,000 US dead. Less than 7,000 deaths per year.

        The Battle of the Somme (1916) 57,000 British casualties, over 19,000 dead, on the first day (July 1) alone. The bombing of Dresden (February 13 – 15, 1945), about 25,000 dead – mostly civilian non-combatants.

        My vote is for “trivial” – for the U$ involvement in our non-war in Vietnam. For the Vietnamese however, that little peacekeeping mission to win hearts and minds was damn near genocidal.

    ” Because my Southern manners press me to ask you who exactly you think you are to question the Lord of this Manor. ”

    Nah , that’s too much of a provocation.

    As I have stated before, I hate the U.S. government, and I generally loathe Americans.

    Never the less ,

    Excepting the THEORY that the assassination of Kennedy was a Communist plot , in which case the U.S. government had good reason to cover it up , otherwise it would have been an Archduke Ferdinand scenario ,

    I reckon Oswald acted alone.

    In other words , a great many on this forum , including the Lord of this manor ,

    Have actually insinuated, or frankly claimed , something much much worse about this country than I have claimed.

    The Vax as a genocidal conspiracy?

    In my experience, pre – Covid , 35 year Olds drop dead all the time.

    I do assert that the pandamic was a complete hoax , a cynical play for power motivated by the worst reasons.

    I do not buy that.

      I do not buy that.”

      When nearly 1250 healthy, fit athletes have had cardiac arrests since the rollout and 850 of them are dead, with not a mention in the mainstream media, let alone anyone of influence anywhere saying ‘let’s have a moratorium on these drugs until we check out what’s happening’ – in fact when medicines regulators everywhere very specifically absolutely refuse to look at what’s happening – I vote for genocidal conspiracy.

      There’s a drug that the MHRA (UK meds reg. agency) is looking into, with some concern, allegedly, because one person is noted to have died after taking it. Over 2000 people are noted to have died following the magic vaxxes (multiply by known under-reporting factor in both cases), I again vote for genocidal conspiracy.

      And not only for that reason but because the people behind the genocidal conspiracy have been talking about the need for it for 100 years. And Jacques Attali helpfully said how it would be done, in 1981.

        Yes, intentional genocide is the best theory, the coolest, coldest, likeliest, most objective explanation.

      Read an article about where future growth, your “new”, is going to happen.

      Basically, the far north will warm, melt the permafrost and become the new center for habitation.

      Canada, Siberia, Alaska, the northern tier of the US, Greenland, Scandinavia, Patagonia, the only southern region. Greenland and Alaska were especially promoted. The stat most interesting said that by 2080 Kodiak Island, Alaska will have monthly temps equal to Florida today. Nuuk, Greenland is already changing significantly now with increasing fishing, mineral exploration, hydroelectric dams for melt water, oil exploration.

      More later.

      • JohnAZ August 31, 2022 at 9:39 am #

        Evidently, northern regions are suffering from permafrost melting making infrastructure unstable. The biggest problem for them in the future will be the explosion of migrants invading their area, largely left to them alone up until now.

        Here is an interesting question I have. Areas of Mexico, Hawaii, Polynesia are in the Trade wind belt and are cooler than the desert areas north. There is a subtropical jet stream that brings more moisture there. What if this jet stream, the carrier of storms moves north and for example makes the southern tier of the US, the Med, or China more arable instead of less.

        I see the biggest potential threat of the future tha total melting of the North Polar area. Without the ice holding the northern part of the temperature gradient at 32 degrees, how hot could the whole northern hemisphere get?

        The real idiocy of the current regimes around the world is really showing now. How are adjustments to national borders going to be made? War? Alliances? The Biden team team sucks with their idea that giving the country away to climate displaced refugees is going to solve the WEF problems and then they will all drive $100000 cars, by then. Continuation of the mob’s idea of climate modification will be disastrous for the world. Could be the Sino-Russia axis that is developing will be better for climate control.

        One stab at the media here. Remember when Trump was secretly negotiating with the Danes about buying Greenland? He was ridiculed by as usual, everyone inside the Beltway. Wouldn’t it be nice today to have that frontier open to US interests. But wait, for the Greenlanders, that could be a disaster with the US government in charge.

        One thing is for sure, things are changing, we can see the changes happening.

        IT IS ABOUT TIME THE WORLD DOES SOMETHING ABOUT ADAPTING TO THE CHANGES AND QUITS ARGUING ABOUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT RETURNING TO THE PAST. THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, no matter how many folks the PTB kill with their vaccines.

        • Anthea August 31, 2022 at 1:42 pm #

          The global warming yarn is kind of like covid. The establishment scientists say the earth is warming, and the real scientists say it’s cooling.

          Here, the last two summers have been relatively cool ones. This year we had a late, cold spring. Temperatures for August have been unseasonably cool. We had to plant late this spring, and the tomatoes–which should have been ripening all through August–quit ripening a couple of weeks ago.

          Does this indicate global cooling? Well, about ten years ago we had two summers of non-stop rain, but it turned out there was no need to build an ark. And we have had several summers of drought, where we had a couple of days of 108° F temps, and the corn died in the fields, but it was unnecessary to switch the landscaping plans to xeriscapes.

          Get a grip.

        • Blackbird September 1, 2022 at 3:49 pm #

          Greenland: “Wouldn’t it be nice today to have that frontier open to US interests.” What?!?! The same plutocrats that are busy raping this country and every other country foolish enough to let them in? Think the Greenlanders have it rough now? Wait ’til unrestrained capitalism lands on their fair shores.

          Greenland as a future breadbasket: Greenland is basically a sheet of rock with a thick layer of icy frosting on top. You need dirt to farm – unless you want to try some Rube Goldberg hydroponics system using the glacial melt. Or maybe we can just ship the dirt in from someplace that’s not using theirs anymore – Kansas, the Ukraine… That’ll take a lot of ships – I assume they’ll sail green and clean on solar power.

          If the Greenland icesheet melts, the Arctic ice will melt also, flooding the north Atlantic with cold water, potentially shutting down the North Atlantic Conveyor, which brings warm water to northern Europe, significantly lowering temperatures in northwest Europe. Of course they can all just move to sunny Greenland.

          No warm Greenland without fucking things up everywhere else.

      • Woodchuck August 31, 2022 at 9:47 am #

        • JohnAZ August 31, 2022 at 10:03 am #

          We are obviously reading different literature.

          Greenland is thawing and quickly. Glacier National Park has just about lost its glaciers. The Rivers held sacred in India are starting to dry up because the glaciers feeding them are melting away. The Northwest passage is open now for months of the year. Russia is expanding its oil and gas exploration into the Arctic, the last pipeline, now closed was from the Arctic. The Arctic ice coverage is shrinking decade to decade.

          These are facts. Not made up.

          Save your bile for the people who are ignoring the facts and not reacting properly. Save it for the idiots in DC that think they are going to solve things with EVs, or opening the border to immigrants from countries that are bust. Note that these idiots are still trying to prove the problem to folks like you instead of trying to set things in place to adapt to the changes. Not a single reactive policy has been formed to adapt, and there is no way we are returning to the 20th century.

            Climate change is real has been since the formation of the planet.

            Variations in the earth’s orbit about the sun, tilt, and the sun’s coronal mass ejections, induce climate changes orders of magnitude greater than human influence.

            The tragedy is the many remain placated in their warming kettles with normalcy bias, cognitive dissonance, prescription anti-depressants, benzodiazepines, liquor, THC, bread and circuses, rather than girding, maneuvering, and adapting, thus becoming Darwinian statistics.

            Please need to learn about better water conversation use. Thinking of a big City like London, they probably do not have a clue on what they are all doing with regards to water use.

            People need to stop watering lawns with auto sprinklers when it rains, stop flushing the toilet every time for a little bit of pee, and stop making so much coffee to drink every morning. Those would be the first good steps to follow towards solving a water crisis anywhere in the world.

          • Woodchuck August 31, 2022 at 1:57 pm #

            None of the climate claims you’ve posted are real. You’ve been reading pseudo science propaganda and fake news. Stop this if you really wish to be informed.

            Greenland is just one example. This is from an article in electroverse:

            “And while it is true that the Greenland ice sheet lost mass from around 1995 to 2012, that trend of loss has now reversed, almost completely. Liike the gradual turning of a vast ship, from the year’s 2010 to 2015 Greenland’s SMB changed course and has been on an upward trajectory ever since:”

            Reports of record breaking cold and snow everywhere are coming in on a regular basis. Stop reading fake climate news and believing main stream media garbage. These sources are incapable of reporting the truth.

            Dammit Cowbell I like coffee AND sprinklers.

            Built in lawn sprinklers are a feature round this part of town — neighbors have them installed — we’ve got plenty of water around here. About 1900 these genius Yankee hydro engineers developed a string of reservoirs that serve us well till this day. On a summer afternoon many sprinkler systems go off at once; they’re programmed, it’s a sight to behold. I have referred to the neighborhood as Sprinkler City.

            Here are some other facts: Arctic ice is higher than the 10-year average, the Great Barrier Reef is at its highest for 36 years, the Maldives have not only not sunk beneath the waves but have grown in mass and the government extended its airport in 2020. Polar bear communities are thriving, hurricanes and tornadoes are at relatively low levels. Oh, and satellite data shows that there is nothing unusual happening with the Earth’s temperatures. In short, NONE of the predictions made by the alarmists have come to pass. And where things are happening – melting glaciers, for example – there is absolutely no evidence that this is caused by man-made activities, and it is almost certainly the normal ebb and flow of glacial behaviour.

At every point he failed to appoint people who would effectively accomplish anything. He appointed the status quo over and over again. I would never go out and vote for the guy like I did in 2016. It will take a miracle to get me to vote again. Hard to care who wrecks the country (it’s already wrecked).

      Issues that might get me to vote:

    Speaking of entitlement, Europeans are finding out quickly that their comfortable lives, their food, their industries, their heating, all depend on the resources provided by Russia.

    A decent population would resolve to be grateful to their benefactors, and treat them with the respect they deserve.

    Not the Europeans and their American masters.

    They put sanctions on Russia and then blame Russia for not providing them with their comforts.
    They demand that Russia give them resources for free, that is, accept dollars for payment and keep them in western banks where the money can be stolen.

    And they provide endless weapons, ammo and spying help to the Ukrainians to kill Russians.
    The plan is to kill all the Ukrainians to the Last Ukrainian (as announced openly) in order to kill enough Russians that they can steal their land and resources, once it is depopulated, because Russians won’t willingly go back to the 90s, when the US looted them openly, and 9 million Russians died.

      Russia also hasn’t forgotten the some 20 million lost because of Germany’s invasion in the 40’s. Nor of all the suffering they endured back then. They’ve decided not to be invaded again.

      The next few decades might be quite astonishing with a complete reversal of the former cold war situation. The West turns into a 3rd world backwater of confused and squabbling poor people and Russia turns into a prosperous and unified conservative Christian nation. And led by very competent people and possessing huge amounts of resources.

      During the Soviet era, communism prevented Russia from building the giant consumer society
      enjoyed by the West. So they managed to save much of their oil and other such resources. Whereas, we’ve already blown most of ours out our tailpipes, and now we want all of Russia’s stuff so we can keep this going for many more decades. It’s highly unlikely Russia is going to allow that to happen.

      After a while, the chaos and disorder in the West will be so bad that we won’t have the resources to fight modern wars any more. We simply won’t have the resources to fund our military. Our dollars and the Euro will be so worthless that we’ll be struggling just to provide basic living needs for ourselves. Funding a military for overseas adventures won’t be possible, all we’ll be able to afford is domestic police forces and small military units available only for domestic defense – *no* more bombing anything overseas. A busted and broke America is something most people in the West still cannot grasp or understand in any meaningful way.

You need to expand your historical horizons and stop reading only the stuff that you agree with. My mom and her family grew up in and lived in Munich during the entire Nazi regime, some lost their lives, all were physically injured in some way. My mom had the pleasure of coughing up blood after being a bit too close to a bomb blast. Her brother was jailed by the Gestapo, another brother barely made it back home from the failed Russia war. Hitler was doubtless the worst thing that ever happened for the Germans.

            Although now it seems the Germans wish to create another mass die off for themselves. The country does this periodically, and for the most idiotic of reasons. Such as the time during the 30 years war when “Christian brothers” hacked each other to pieces over doctrinal issues and lost something like half their entire population – all done for Jesus eh?

    Biden to unveil Obama’s White House portrait after Trump snub

    President Joe Biden and his onetime boss, former President Barack Obama, will reunite next week to unveil the 44th commander in chief’s official White House portrait.

    Biden and Obama will be joined by their wives, first lady Jill Biden and former first lady Michelle Obama, for the East Room ceremony next Wednesday, according to the White House.

    The former president’s portrait unveiling was postponed during former President Donald Trump’s administration due to the pair’s acrimonious relationship. Trump, who is embroiled in a legal skirmish with Biden’s Justice Department over his handling of classified material, is in the process of having his portrait painted, but it is unclear when or how it will be unveiled.

    Obama’s return to the White House coincides with his return to the campaign trail, as he is headlining two Democratic fundraisers next week before November’s midterm elections.

    Russia has always had a suspicion of, and aversion to, Continental Europe-proper, its culture, philosophy, religion. Go back to the isolationist Tsars. The sophisticated and exotic ‘West’ (France, Italy) was both attractive and the cause for derision.

    Pick up almost anything from the great Russian fiction writers — especially Turgenev. If Putin stays the course, it could be late 19th century Russian Nationalism again — this time with more resources and (perhaps) freedom.

    Might as well go with the flow. JohnAZ is a particularly interesting case in my estimation. He asserts that he is completely set against the globalization of America and insists upon a return to the original ideals of the Republic. Yet. Essentially on all issues he thoroughly incorporates all narratives and themes established by the globalists and goes all in in terms of endorsing them and acting upon them. Not realizing that basically in such actions he is being puppeteered by the “liberal world order” globalists. So he will be all in on rona, agw, and anything else that is cooked up for him.

    Break free from your chains, John

    You missed my point. I asked you to consider the ideals. I did not suggest that the ideals were actually operational at the moment. So yes, fair trials may appear to you to be a daffy, spoiled brat fairy tale. But as you stated that is something that in your estimation does not exist anywhere. Still that does not mean that it should not be something to strive for. And that is why you ultimately are not American. But then again perhaps you are stuck with us. So why not make yourself more at home. Kim Jong Un will not have you but apparently the fairy tale believing daffy brats let you in their midst. The least you could do would be to show some generosity to your hosts.

    Another athlete sudden death just announced. 20-year-old Junior hockey player (Eli Palfreyman).

    What’s notable about this (by now) unsurprising event is that — for the first time I can recall — the official news narrative doesn’t even try to give their typical euphemistic cause-of-death tag — ‘sudden adult death syndrome’ with the stunned loved ones’ “it’s all a mystery!”. They probably realize the gathering absurdity of how that is taken, so they’ll avoid stating cause of death altogether now. Healthy, fit young man just dropped dead. Nothing more to see here, move along!

    So what is going on these days with all the food related traffic incidents on our US Interstates? Is there a correlation in trying to destroy the food supply, much like the food manufacturing warehouse fires?

    The points I raise are a semi load of tomatoes that spilled on I-5 in California, and now a trailer load of Alfredo sauce that covered all lanes of I-55 in Memphis. All this seems to point to more than mere coincidence!

    • SoftStarLight August 31, 2022 at 3:44 pm #

      Your instincts are probably right. It is a sabotage of the food supply. Whoever controls it controls the people naturally. Brandon said there would be food shortages. I assume they are making good on their threats

        “Joe Biden” promised us “a dark winter” almost a year ago. I thought then that he had meant 2021-22 but it now seems that he meant 2022-23. It will be interesting to see if that phrase [a dark winter] gains traction again now that summer turns to fall.

        • cowbell81 August 31, 2022 at 4:32 pm #

          Every winter through 2025 will be a “dark winter”, as long as Bedpan Biden occupies the White House. He can’t drop dead from old age and senility soon enough! As a matter of fact, if that did happen while he was in office I can almost guarantee that the stock market and over all economy will see an upward spike soon after (along with Joey’s approval ratings!!!) hahaha

        • SoftStarLight August 31, 2022 at 4:45 pm #

          I actually think they may do something very big before the midterms. Perhaps that will set the stage for the dark winter? The fact that Brandon will be giving a speech tomorrow night about the existential threat that over half of the population poses to the regime appears to indicate big moves. The sabotage of the grid and supply chains is part of it.

          • Blackbird September 1, 2022 at 1:40 pm #

            I expect something (although at this point, I’m not sure exactly what) before the mid-terms, in order to reinforce the narrative of the coming The Blue Tsunami!.

            Once the Democrats have a comfortable majority in both the House and Senate, after this November’s selections, I expect the real fun to begin.

            A “Dark Winter” with skyrocketing fuel prices and sporadic grid failure. Serious food shortages and high prices for what little is available (increased wealth for the already morbidly wealthy). “Covid” lockdown and mandatory vax – damn you anti-vaxxers! Monkeypox mutates into a virulent new form of smallpox – it’s not just for gay orgies anymore! IRS crackdown – especially on those who received Pandemic Unemployment Assistance. Maybe even a first attempt at gun confiscation after “Russia-supported” “white nationalists” enraged about the “fairest and most transparent election ever” assassinate the ‘Ho.

    Upstream Mitch, Mary, Amman and Tom commented on my apocalyptic beliefs.
    This is not the end of the world but it’s purification.

    “Life is not a movie, simplistic good people survive.” No Mare. I think everybody’s gonna be suprised at exactly who survives. It certainly won’t be the hypocrites.

    Not a movie but maybe the fourth turning, the pole shift, our once in 18k year experience that buried those villages under water all over the globe, that the aboriginal ‘dream time’ remembers and is geologically proven by Australia’s ancient inland sea.

    There are always survivors, like the 40k year old bones found high in the caves of the Andes or Southern Rockies and Borneo.

    Once the warning hits people will choose sides, not before.

    Amman. Yes I do believe it is a great mercy because the alternative is slavery even unto the transhuman soul. It is why most will die by suicide when they realize they backed the wrong horse that has completely invaded and controls their body and soul.

    And Amman, the martyrs to truth will reawaken. But it will get ugly quick now.

    Mitch, this has been prophesied for thousands of years, to wit; the Apocalypse of John, Malachi’s prophesy of the last Pope, Garabandal in the 60’s for the full story on the 3 days of darkness, Fatima, Medjugorje, and recently a plethora of visionaries including Luz du Maria from Argentina.

          Pray. Daily. My understanding is the consecrated body of Christ taken in a state of grace strengthens and sustains you till you fall again. I am Catholic.

          So convert if you are able. But soon the Antichrist will sit on the throne, so, when the words of consecration are changed the church must go underground.

            Bible. Blessed candles, matches. Holy water.

            Grapes in brandy, blessed for when the food runs out. One grape a day will do.

            Make a cross on your windows and doors with the holy water. Ask God and his angels for protection.

            The Warning

            when I will break the sixth seal, there will be a violent earthquake and the sun will go as black as coarse sackcloth; the moon will turn red as blood all over, and the stars of the sky will fall on to the earth like figs dropping from a fig-tree when a high wind shakes it; the sky will disappear like a scroll rolling up and all the mountains and islands will shake from their places… they will say to the mountains and the rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us away from the One who sits on the Throne and from the anger of the Lamb;’ for the Great Day of My Purification is soon upon you and who will be able to survive it? Everyone on this earth will have to be purified, everyone will hear My Voice and recognise Me as the Lamb; all races and all religions will see Me in their interior darkness; this will be given to everyone like a secret revelation to reveal the obscurity of your soul; when you will see your insides in this state of grace you will indeed ask the mountains and the rocks to fall on you; the darkness of your soul will appear as such that you would think the sun lost its light and that the moon too turned into blood; this is how your soul will appear to you, but in the end you will only praise Me. —Jesus to Vassula, March 3rd, 1992; ww3.tlig.org

            The 3 days of darkness

            Padre Pio JANUARY 28, 1950
            Keep your windows well covered. Do not look out. Light a blessed candle, which will suffice for many days. Pray the rosary. Read spiritual books. Make acts of Spiritual Communion, also acts of love, which are so pleasing to Us. Pray with outstretched arms, or prostrate on the ground, in order that many souls may be saved. Do not go outside the house. Provide yourself with sufficient food. The powers of nature shall be moved and a rain of fire shall make people tremble with fear. Have courage! I am in the midst of you.

            FEBRUARY 7, 1950
            Take care of the animals during these days. I am the Creator and Preserver of all animals as well as man. I shall give you a Few signs beforehand, at which time you should place more food before them. I will preserve the property of the elect, including the animals, for they shall be in need of sustenance afterwards as well. Let no one go across the yard, even to feed the animals–he who steps outside will perish! Cover your windows carefully. My elect shall not see My wrath. Have confidence in Me, and I will be your protection. Your confidence obliges Me to come to your aid.Padre Pio
            The hour of My coming is near! But I will show mercy. A most dreadful punishment will bear witness to the times. My angels, who are to be the executioners of this work, are ready with their pointed swords! They will take special care to annihilate all those who mocked Me and would not believe in My revelations.
            Hurricanes of fire will pour forth from the clouds and spread over the entire earth! Storms, bad weather, thunderbolts and earthquakes will cover the earth for two days. An uninterrupted rain of fire will take place! It will begin during a very cold night. All this is to prove that God is the Master of Creation. Those who hope in Me, and believe in my words, have nothing to fear because I will not forsake them, nor those who spread My message. No harm will come to those who are in the state of grace and who seek My mother’s protection.
            That you may be prepared for these visitations, I will give you the following signs and instructions: The night will be very cold. The wind will roar. After a time, thunderbolts will be heard. Lock all the doors and windows. Talk to no one outside the house. Kneel down before a crucifix, be sorry for your sins, and beg My Mother’s protection. Do not look during the earthquake, because the anger of God is holy! Jesus does not want us to behold the anger of God, because God’s anger must be contemplated with fear and trembling.
            Those who disregard this advice will be killed instantly. The wind will carry with it poisonous gases which will be diffused over the entire earth. Those who suffer and die innocently will be martyrs and they will be with Me in My Kingdom.
            Satan will triumph! But after three nights, the earthquake and fire will cease. On the following day the sun will shine again. angels will descend from Heaven and will spread the spirit of peace over the earth. A feeling of immeasurable gratitude will take possession of those who survive this terrible ordeal-the impending punishment-with which God has visited the earth since creation.
            I have chosen souls in other countries too, such as Belgium, Switzerland. Spain, who have received these revelations so that other countries also may be prepared. Pray much during this Holy Year of 1950. Pray the Rosary, but pray it well, so that your prayers may reach Heaven. Soon a more terrible catastrophe shall come upon the entire world, such as never before has been witnessed, a terrible chastisement never before experienced! The war of 1950 shall be the introduction to these things.Padre Pio offers Mass
            How unconcerned men are regarding these things! which shall so soon come upon them, contrary to all expectations. How indifferent they are in preparing themselves for these unheard of events, through which they will have to pass so shortly!
            The weight of the Divine balance has reached the earth! The wrath of My Father shall be poured out over the entire world! I am again warning the world through your instrumentality, as I have so often done heretofore.
            The sins of men have multiplied beyond measure: Irreverence in Church, sinful pride committed in sham religious activities, lack of true brotherly love, indecency in dress, especially at summer seasons…The world is filled with iniquity.
            This catastrophe shall come upon the earth like a flash of lightning at which moment the light of the morning sun shall be replaced by black darkness! No one shall leave the house or look out of a window from that moment on. I Myself shall come amidst thunder and lightning. The wicked shall behold My Divine Heart. There shall be great confusion because of this utter darkness in which the entire earth shall be enveloped, and many, many shall die from fear and despair.
            Those who shall fight for My cause shall receive grace from My Divine Heart; and the cry: “WHO IS LIKE UNTO GOD!” shall serve as a means of protection to many. However, many shall burn in the open fields like withered grass! The godless shall be annihilated, so that afterwards the just shall be able to stand afresh.
            On the day, as soon as complete darkness has set in, no one shall leave the house or look from out of the window. The darkness shall last a day and a night, followed by another day and a night, and another day–but on the night following, the stars will shine again, and on the next morning the sun shall rise again, and it will be SPRINGTIME!!
            In the days of darkness, My elect shall not sleep, as did the disciples in the garden of olives. They, shall pray incessantly, and they shall not be disappointed in Me. I shall gather My elect. Hell will believe itself to be in possession of the entire earth, but I shall reclaim it!

            1858 release of the secret message of La Salette

            Woe to the inhabitants of the earth! There will be bloody wars and famines, plagues and infectious diseases. It will rain with a fearful hail of animals. There will be thunderstorms which will shake cities, earthquakes which will swallow up countries. Voices will be heard in the air. Men will beat their heads against walls, call for their death, and on another side death will be their torment. Blood will flow on all sides. Who will be the victor if God does not shorten the length of the test? All the blood, the tears and prayers of the righteous, God will relent. Enoch and Eli will be put to death. Pagan Rome will disappear. The fire of Heaven will fall and consume three cities. All the universe will be struck with terror and many will let themselves be lead astray because they have not worshipped the true Christ who lives among them. It is time; the sun is darkening; only faith will survive.”

            “Now is the time; the abyss is opening. Here is the King of Kings of darkness; here is the Beast with his subjects, calling himself the Saviour of the world. He will rise proudly into the air to go to Heaven. He will be smothered by the breath of the Archangel Saint Michael. He will fall, and the earth, which will have been in a continuous series of evolutions for three days, will open up its fiery bowels; and he will have plunged for all eternity with all his followers into the everlasting chasms of hell. And then water and fire will purge the earth and consume all the works of men’s pride and all will be renewed. God will be served and glorified.”

            Communism”
            Comes Before the Warning!!!

            Seers of Garabandal

            August, 1979 – JACINTA

            Q. Do you recall anything about a great tribulation, communism…?

            A. Yes, it was an invasion, well, something that was a great evil in which communism played a great part, but I no longer remember which countries or what region was stricken. The Blessed Virgin insisted in telling us to pray (that it be averted). These difficult events will take place
            before the Warning because the Warning itself will take place when the situation will be at its worst.

            October 19, 1982 – MARI-LOLI
            Q. Do you remember what the Blessed Mother said about the communist tribulation that is to precede the Warning?

            A. It would look like the communists would have taken over the whole world and it would be very hard to practice the religion, for priests to say Mass or for people to open the doors of the churches.

            Some people spend thousands of dollars a year on psychic readings. You save a lot by being into free prophecies. I asked how much you donated to Fr Michel but you wouldn’t answer me.

            Psychic reading are personal whereas prophecies are for entire nations – so it’s not selfish in the same way. But the factor of obsession with wonders is still there, and is an obstacle.

            You still haven’t repented for December 8th. That’s very bad.

            @ anmariwakaranai:

            Much in these prophecies sounds like a pole shift–apparently a pretty regular thing, speaking in terms of geological time. I was reading that there are also mini-pole shifts, called “excursions,” which occur more frequently.

    The issues I have with AGW are two-fold:

    On a relative scale, it pales in comparison to the existential threat posed by population overshoot, resource depletion and other significant environmental impacts like degraded/available water and arable cropland.

    Secondly, it’s been chosen by the WEF as the positive community challenge in order to reduce FF consumption. This deliberate political advocacy mirrors previous emergencies that serve to mask real reasons behind the decision process.

    There’s a third reason as well: who needs to waste time, effort and energy on something that is so contentious and debatable?

    There’s no question about overshoot and depletion; I contend these two factors are driving Western policy decisions. AGW appears to be a convenient scape goat that helps avoid open discussion about limits which in turn could cause governments to fall.

        Disaffected I’ll take a drive down to the coast tomorrow, look for any evidence of ‘Sea Level Rise’. I was down at Niantic Bay on LI Sound about 10 days ago and the water level seemed to be pretty much where it was when I was a little kid. However, a few days ago on NPR I listened to a report on a study by some scientists that claimed the oceans are poised to rise a solid foot and inundate the entire coastline, gobbling up beachfront property and causing all kinds of havoc. Of course, I’ve been hearing the same thing for about 25 years now. Maybe my lying eyes are deceiving me. Also, ocean temperature are pretty much where they always are at this time of year. One thing that has gone up is the price of a seafood dinner. Asking around I learn fishing vessels are paying a lot more for diesel fuel and its reflected in the price of lobster dinners.

            Ignoring the findings that do show drought, heavier storms, ice shrinkage everywhere except Antarctic sea ice without doing something is insane. Just let LasVegas, Phoenix, Tucson, San Diego and LA refuse to do anything about Lake Meade, Lake Powell or the Western snow pack and there will be a lot of folks being thirsty and leaving theses areas.

            BTW, they have refused to date to make any form of progress and now the Feds are in there cutting the water. If the lakes continue to fall at present rates, there will be no Colorado River below the Hoover dam by next September. This is a thirty year problem that all the governments have ignored.

            We can argue the relative dangers of ignoring climate change (not ‘Climate Change’), but the key issue is that the WEF, the bought-and-paid-for scientists, and the political minions all maintain that it’s directly proportional to AGW. Their confidence about that (and their non sequitur, lockstep reasoning) don’t convince.

        • Woodchuck August 31, 2022 at 7:39 pm #

          There’s a graph available out there showing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere over a 600 million year timeline. On that timeline, there are only two periods on the graph with CO2 levels as low as they are now. At the dawn of the industrial age, CO2 levels were at aroun 280ppm. At 180ppm all life on the planet dies because photosynthesis shuts down. The actual truth is we are dangerously low in CO2 and have been declining steadily in CO2 starting at around 150 million years ago. For around half of our past 600 million years of climate we’ve had CO2 levels holding steady at around 3000 ppm – that’s at least 6 times as much CO2 in the air as we have now. The current climate change/global warming hysteria is just another academia/media created crisis with a bunch of scamsters running the show at the top.

      “AGW appears to be a convenient scape goat that helps avoid open discussion about limits which in turn could cause governments to fall.” — mitchc

      Another angle is that AGW is the preferred issue for the WEF because:

      a) It’s easy to pop out a TV video of Pakistan floods in dramatic sweep to get the brainwashed populace to panic, as contrasted to the always unsexy Peak Oil narrative of energy EROEI stats, semi-hidden reserve listings, resource wars (which get disguised as racism, etc) .. and

      b) They can kick the can down the road indefinitely — hard to be held accountable when you project 2 inches of sea level rise by 2090 if we don’t eliminate bovine borborygmus by “eating zee bugs”.

      Yes, arable farmland and water availability, AGW will affect those causing location changes to available farmland. No one in authority has even acknowledged this. Bill Gates is buying farmland in the Dakotas, I believe. The 21st century motto may be

      Move north, young man.

      The wasted time is on trying to convince everyone the end of the world is coming due to AGW, it isn’t. The end of the USA being number one may be.

      We are going to need FF more than ever, as the transitions will be energy driven.

      We have no help at all from the US or the WEF on what to do as individuals or societies with the AGW changes. An increasing number of folks are moving north and east in the US in response to heat, drought and wildfires. As usual, the folks are much wiser than the damnable government.

      The changes from AGW are slow and small. Do not listen to the fear mongers. We will need oil and gas for decades as the alternative are worthless and will never provide over 20% of our energy requirements, transportation, agriculture and heat.

      However, remember JHK. Peak oil is starting to rear its head already. FF opponents have a Trump card, no pun intended, as FF will decline and we need to find alternatives somehow, somewhere.

      Solutions have two requirements, sufficiency and low cost. Hope they hurry.

        There’s always this question we can ask ourselves. Why were our ancestors in the 1800’s ok with the lifestyles they had back then – and yet we would find it impossible or unacceptable to live that way now. Why is it better to be in a state of physical addiction to the comforts given by fossil fuels? Why are these comforts so absolutely important right now. What’s so horrifying about living a simpler lifestyle? My great great grandparents, from all accounts, were happy and satisfied with the living arrangements they had. They weren’t bitter about not having modern “conveniences” because it never occured to them that such things would ever be invented. My guess is that in a lot of ways they were happier and more satisfied with their lives than we our with ours today.

            I’m real handy with power tools, chain saws etc. My problem with playing “Little House on the Prairie” is I have few hand tools and even less experience in using them. Way before chain saws arrived you might find yourself cutting trees and firewood with two guys using a 2 man crosscut saw – also called a “misery whip”. I still have one in my basement somewhere,sharpened up and oiled, but I ain’t using it until my cold dead hands are pried off of my chainsaw. My dad and I used to cut firewood in the 50’s that way as he had no chainsaw, and all I remember is boredom and getting tired and irritable. I wanted to go inside and watch tv. No tv’s on the Prairie either.

          Skills that were necessary then are not around any more. Look at the restaurant business, what happens when women have lost the ability to produce a well balanced diet. People living in cities are totally dependent on others for everything. That did not exist in the 1800s.

          JHK noted the decline of skills in his Long Emergency.

          Here is a good example of the advances that FF have made.

          Train engines went from wood burning to coal to oil to diesel with huge increases in power at each transition. Three diesels in front and one behind can push 100+ cars over a pass today. A wood burner could handle maybe 6 to ten cars.

          • JohnAZ August 31, 2022 at 9:58 pm #

            Yeah, and the day is coming in the US when diesel either won’t be available or it will be too expensive. Then we’ll be back to coal burning steam engines and coal burning home heat. We’ve still got coal enough here to do that. When the coal is gone we’ll have wood burners powering our trains again.

    “There is nothing to do but fight the evil doers and their agenda on all levels – that is a sensible and a religious thing to do. This can be done covertly or overtly and is called Resistance. ”

    — Amman

    I’m not psychic.

    With that caveat ,

    I have my doubts about this being the end times.

    Why ?

    For the simple reason that we have been in a much worse spot.

    Find a religious map of Europe and the Near East in AD 700.

    By the way , AD 700 is quite awhile after Constantine , quite awhile after the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

    If one can read the implications implied in a map , and if one looks at a religious map of AD 700 ,

    One might perhaps conclude that Catholicism might be some kind of Crusader plot ,

    But the idea that Catholicism is some kind of Roman Empire plot is simply far – fetched bullshit.

    Anyway , at AD 700 the Byzantine Empire is still hanging tough , but it looks pretty shaky too , considering the massive chunk of pagan territory to the north – east , and the massive chunks of Moslem real estate to the South and East.

    True enough , in Roman times and early Byzantine times the Levant was primarily Christian, but that’s a memory now , in AD 700.

    It’s pretty much all Moslem or Pagan now.

    The New Testament came out of Hippo , a town in North Africa.

    Likewise , North Africa was nearly all Christian then , but not anymore.

    Pretty much all of North Africa is Moslem now.

    Pretty much all of Italy is Christian, but if I remember correctly the Moslems have a toehold in Sicily.

    Christians have little more than a toehold in Iberia at this point.

    Moslem control extends as far as the Pyranees , and on a clear day Moslem troops on the heights can look down into France.

    Only about half of the British Isles is Christian.

    The other half is pagan .

    ” God preserve us from the fury of the Northmen “.

    Iceland , Orkney , the Shetlands , all pagan.

    All of Scandinavia is pagan , even Denmark if I remember correctly.

    The lions share of Eastern Europe is pagan.

    The Balkans , as usual , is a horrific mess.

    Vlad the Impaler ( though that is several centuries later ) may have been a real asshole.

    But you have to wonder about the context.

    Balkan politics was like Iraqi politics , a nice guy would be lucky to live three days.

    I get the feeling that folks assume Christian history was like an escalator going up ,

    with it all being gravy and easy street after Constantine.

    Absolutely not.

    700 years after the crucifixion Christianity was like a one – legged man in an ass – kicking contest.

    The Holy Land crusades get all the notoriety, which is bullshit.

    The Holy Land Crusades were never but a sideshow , even at their most successful.

    No , the situation in AD 700 was like with that military Commander who , when asked , ” Which way should we attack ? ”

    Replied , ” Attack in both directions ! ”

    No , the real meat – and – potatoes Crusades were a IN – YOUR – NEIGHBORHOOD – kind of thing.

    The Crusades were in the British Isles.

    The Crusades were in France and Germany.

    The Crusades were in Eastern Europe and the Balkans .

    The Pope’s and the Lombards burned a fortune in Sicily because it was vulnerable for several hundred years.

    As for those bad old Spanish Inquistors , well maybe you would rather kiss Muhammed’s ass ?

    So , yeah , in my view the situation has been a Hell of a lot worse.

        Why should a pope going to Russia mean anything? Most of popery business in the Vatican right now involves a bunch of pedophiles addicted to soft living and wearing pink slippers etc. Men wearing feminine clothing and living soft comfortable lives in splendid surroundings.

        What any of that has to do with Jesus is beyond me. Jesus was a hard man with a muscles and scars, he’d been a construction worker before turning preacher. He walked most everywhere he went and likely didn’t smell very good – he was a poor man living on the road and depending on the charity of his fans. But he was a man – not one of the irrelevant sissies in the Vatican. His lifestyle and teachings are the reverse of what the Catholic Church has been offering.

        Take up your cross and follow me? Good luck finding anyone in the Vatican doing that! I doubt if the Russians are interested in anything the Pope has to offer…..

        I grew up in and now live in the so called “Bible Belt” part of the USA. Because of what’s generally known as “Dispensational Theology”, many of us in the Bible Belt are familiar with concepts like the “Rapture”, the “Great Tribulation”, “Mark of the Beast” etc.

        My hillbilly hometown suffered the same fate as a good number of other Southern small towns. It was too close to some new big industries, too close to a university, and Yankee outsiders arrived. Bringing along with them other and more alien churches like Episcopalian and Catholic. I went to a local Catholic elementary school for a few years, and also spent a few years going to an Episcopalian Church, experienced ’em all. The most wierd of all the various church offerings in the general area are the snake handler Pentecostals. Dolly Parton tells a story in her autobiography about her encounter with the snake handlers when suddenly they appeared up front and were being handed out while she was singing in church. Real rattlers. Seeing and experiencing so many different varieties of the religion made me skeptical for a long time as an adult.

        The conservative fundamentalist Christians around here all did seem to share a common belief that Jesus was coming soon and that “end times” are approaching. If the West does endure a total collapse, much of what these conservative Christians have been teaching might be vindicated in a lot of people’s eyes. Does anyone think that hard times may encourage a lot of people to become serious Christians again?

        Some of the predictions in the controversial book of Revelation are kinda spooky. Humans had no power to call down fire from the heavens 2000 years ago – but we do now! As pres Obama once spoke “I got one word for you – predator drones!” Some people are having a family wedding somewhere in Pakistan or Iraq and suddenly it all blows up from a package of fire screaming down on them from above. The “image of the beast” that people worship and watch and listen to sounds like none other than everyone’s tv set to me.

        • Jarek September 1, 2022 at 12:40 pm #

          Imagine seeing another people as the Chosen People, and not your own people. What a distorted view of life. The Founders, the religious ones at least, saw THEMSELVES as the Chosen. Thus they were empowered to clear the forests, the Indians, and the Spanish. And to defeat the French and the British in war. They were at the Centre of their own existence.

          The “replacement theology” so hated by the Christian Zionists IS the real Christianity. The Church is the new Chosen People, not the Jews.

          • Woodchuck September 1, 2022 at 1:16 pm #

            …..and after it all breaks down into a mess of balkanized squabbling poor people living in the apocalyptic junkyard of a fallen empire? What then?

            How will we look at ourselves then – chosen for what? Chosen to live once again just like the Indians we “cleared”?
            Go take a look at what’s left of our native populations living on reservations. Look at the poverty and the small homes, the dirt and the dust. You’re looking at the future living conditions of the former residents of American suburbia. Whatever goes around comes around, karma is a bitch.

            We cleared them as the Israelites cleared the people living in Palestine. They were not the Chosen! They had to go!

            If you think you are living on stolen land, then why do you stay? If you do, you are a criminal too. Sell your place, giving the proceeds the Tribe you think has the best claim to the land. Then go back to Europe and convert to Islam, the new religion of the continent.

          • Woodchuck September 1, 2022 at 1:44 pm #

            “The Church is the new Chosen People, not the Jews.”

            This is an argument that goes all the way back to the founding days of Christianity. A “replacement apostle” for Judas appears in the form of Saul of Tarsus. The New Testament actually has information about the conflicts going on between Saul/Paul’s followers and that of Jesus’s brother James. It seems that James was a leader in the new Christian sect. The church in Jerusalem was comprised of Jews, and to be a church member you also needed to be practicing the Jewish faith and customs. Paul’s vision of what the church should be was much broader, including at the very least all of the Roman Empire at the time. Paul was a Roman citizen and could travel freely on Roman roads on missionary trips. The fall of Jerusalem in 70AD ended the original church in the city and the Diaspora spread the Jewish people out all over the world. And Paul’s version of Christianity eventually became the orthodox version. The Jewish version, or Ebionite Church, was the very first church. It took shape right after the Day of Pentecost. And they vanished completely, and that’s a bit of an irony.

            It’s ironic that the original church that began to take shape not long after the crucifixion, our *very* first church – well – it vanished into the dust in our ancient archives, gone from us and forever labeled as “heretics” or “unorthodox”.

            James and Paul had a falling out, and Paul won. Paul had never met Jesus personally, and wrote very little about Jesus as to historical facts or other stories about him. What a shame that we can’t have any books written by James concerning his brother. Those type books probably existed in Jerusalem before the Diaspora, and are forever lost now, destroyed by war and father time.

            The other end of the early Christian spectrum of conflicting beliefs and heresies were the Marcionites. They didn’t last too long either. The views being expressed by Jarek remind me a bit of Marcion and his ideas.

          • Jarek September 1, 2022 at 2:34 pm #

            The Orthodox reject Zionism, utterly and irrevocably. These Christian Zionists visit the Holy Land and ignore the Christians living there, just hobnobbing with the Jews and visiting Old Testament sites.

            Abraham had two vast lineages, one the sands of the shore, the other the stars of the sky.

            We are the stars, Woody. Or at least I hope to be. I don’t know what you are or hope to be. Maybe you want to be a grain of sand. The Ebionites were after the flesh, not the spirit. Thus they were just a new school of Judaism.

            Review His parable of the wine and the skins. And how the new wine must have new skins lest it burst the old. He knew He was starting a new religion. And also remember His, Soon they will drive you out of the synagogues, and consider killing you a good deed.

            Unfair? By no means. Since it is not after the flesh, they can always join us. Joining them is a far more difficult thing, and not all of them fully accept it by any means.

    Well folks, here’s a very helpful article from MSN News whose headline caught my eye:

    ‘The Risk Factors for a Blood Clot are More Common than You Think’

    …and it frankly snared my attention because I guessed – correctly, surprise! – that it would say nothing whatsoever about the elephant.

    The closest it came was the following:

    ‘Be mindful of medications.

    ‘Certain medications, such as birth control pills and chemotherapy, can increase your risk of blood clots.

    ‘”When a treatment is unavoidable, be sure to consult with your doctor about prophylactic anticoagulation options”,’ Lee said, and take your medications exactly as prescribed to maximize efficacy.’

    Hmm, one would have thought that by now… enough data would have been bannered and alerts made…

    But nothing, as the elephant stood there, looking elephantine. And hoping it would not keel over from an experimental injection.

          City water should be avoided. I’ve mentioned a couple of times here that I cured my Graves Disease when I stopped drinking city water. I don’t know what’s wrong with the water, and whatever is wrong with it probably varies from place to place, but ingesting that stuff is a bad idea.

    @ Ammari

    The Chinese philosopher Lao – Tzu said of control ;

    ” It’s like holding sand or water in your hand ;

    the MORE you tighten your grip , the LESS control you have. ”

    That is the theory I opperate under in relation to cheap petroleum / cheap coal civilization .

    Ultimately , all that more laws , more police , wage slavery , fiat currency , fingerprinting, DNA, cameras everywhere , gun control , thought control , Prohibition, and nuclear weapons mean is a quicker circling of the drain

    For men who would be God’s.

    The proven experience of 200 years of technology is that instead of man being a savage with a spear , man is a savage with a machine gun.

    For every good tech has brought about , it has fostered two or three evils.

    Another way of putting it ,

    Knowledge and technology are equal opportunity servants.

    Like it or not , they can be used just as well by evil as by good , can serve bad intentions just as well as good intentions.

    In that sense , the end of cheap oil and cheap coal is good news.

    So much the worse if we did find a cost – effective alternative to cheap coal and cheap petroleum.

    No amount of free shit will negate the trend toward a totalitarianism that would make North Korea look like the moderate good old days.

    The bad news is that for those who knew automobiles , Ipods , and Cheetos ,

    the fall of the cheap energy – driven God – state will be catastrophic.

    Who survives that purgatory in this life will be a matter of shear luck.

    But the sort – of – good news is that to generations born later , automobiles , Ipods , and Cheetos will be like tales of Atlantis.

    If they miss such things , which they never had , it will be like your missing not being Queen of England , or not getting to take a trip to Pluto ;

    A faintly bitter pill perhaps , but not unbareable , and with a whiff of the ludicrous about it.

    At the risk of sounding insulting , speculations about the end times has always struck me as rather like the conceit of the suicide who thinks the world ends with them.

    Or yet another example of man thinking he knows better than God what the schedule should be , and God should hurry up.

    But , OK , let us say you are just eager to see Jesus.?

    YOU WILL see Jesus soon enough ,

    Even if the happy motoring society endured another ten thousand years ,

    Because the fact remains that man’s life is still
    nasty , brutish , AND SHORT.

    Even in Star Trek people don’t really live very long.

    Then , too ;

    ” Hurry up and wait ! ” as they say.

    If the end times were not for another hundred , or another thousand, or another ten thousand years ,

    Given an afterlife and an immoral soul ,

    I reckon after the first 500 years of life a hundred years scarcely seems like a long time.

    More like memories of Kindergarten 50 years later.

    Joan of Arc only passed on 700 years ago , but I speculate that by now , to her , ten thousand years does not seem an intolerable loitering.

      The issue is reverse gear isn’t immediately engaged.

      Los Angeles and San Jose are the two oldest cities in California – why? Because they have/had the most productive agricultural land in the state, therefore the world.

      In other words the Spanish weren’t dummies – the earliest expeditions (ie de Anza et al) reported back to the crown suitable zones that could feed/support military garrisons in San Francisco, Monterey and Los Angeles.

      So let’s take your example: 5,000 people in 1790 or 5,000 people in 2190. Both have access to similar technology, energy, water, etc – all but land. Because it will take 1000 years plus to erase our urban footprint in these Eden garden zones.

      That’s why the future poses an existential threat to mankind, why nukes will be used, and why the WEF types no longer care if anyone notices them acting openly.

      I read through the letters and gleaned the following:

      Year: 2018 (48th)
      Theme: Creating a Shared Future in a Fractured World
      Topics: global cooperation, shaping the global agenda, resilience against economic and financial risks, sustainable economic progress

      Year: 2019 (49th)
      Theme: Globalisation 4.0 Shaping a Global Architecture in the Age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
      Topics: challenges of the fourth industrial revolution, promoting inclusive and sustainable growth

      Year: 2020 (50th)
      Theme: Stakeholders for a Cohesive and Sustainable World
      Topics: future of financial and monetary systems, blockchain and cryptocurrencies, climate change, technology governance and economic inclusion

      Year: 2021 (51st)
      Theme: The Great Reset
      Topics: shaping the global financial system, resilient, cohesive and sustainable society, digital transition, ensuring the economic recovery [post-Covid] in Europe and Eurasia is robust and sustained.

      I don’t see energy mentioned anywhere, nor health, and surprisingly climate change is only mentioned once. The meetings would appear to focus primarily on global finance and economics.

    This made me laugh out loud, that fact they used the word “soar” in the headline. And then every time they made reference to the President’s approval being at 40%, there was an * after it. No clue what this meant, since there were no footnotes to reference.

    All I can say is that this primetime address is sure to be a flop. I will not be wasting my time watching, namely because I do not have any TV reception hooked up to my house.

    Yes Mr. President, the fate of our Democracy is in peril this November, namely because the crooks and cronies on your side of the aisle are primed to steal yet another election. FOR SHAME!!!

      What a loon brain this guy is, can’t wait to see how the press spins it tomorrow.

      The same reasoning goes to why I am opposed to such testing kits to learn about my ancestry going back thousands of years. Honestly, what is the point of this? Why give some obscene company a right to my genetic make-up?

        • Woodchuck September 1, 2022 at 2:39 pm #

          During the Long Emergency, and if energy sources become ureliable, we might not have the luxury of flushing urine, which is essentially harmless and sterile – and even usefull as asparagus fertilizer. Our ancestors, going back a couple centuries ago, had bedpans for peeing, they wouldn’t be having conversations as to the pros and cons of flushing. In northern climates, I’m sure most females living in homes without indoor plumbing weren’t about to go outside and plop down on a toilet seat when it’s ten degrees or less outside. Those gals were very happy to have a pan under the bed and ready for use. I’ll wager today’s gals will make a face and scream “eeeeeeewwwwww!” at the very idea of using one.

          After the southwest US has fully blown it’s water resources, water won’t be available for flushing pee. It just won’t be there. And before long after that, it might not be available for flushing down poop either, so it’s back to the little old shack out back. Here’s what happens with southern outhouses, and I actually saw this happen to a poor fellow. He came flying out of the outhouse cursing and with his pants still down. There was a big wasp nest right under the seat. Nobody had used it in a while.

            Indeed, I was just thinking on this very topic this morning while engaged in my morning constitutional. I have a bedpan, currently in use as “decor” in my upper bathroom. I should probably pick up extras at the flea markets for a few dollars since they may come in handy in the future.

            All you need is a sturdy outhouse in back with a deep hole, spread some lime or gravel over your deposit, and let nature do the rest. Talk about eco friendly!

            Want to really make points with Mother Earth? Composting toilet. Do your dirty deed in the relative warmth of your passive solar, wood stove-heated home, then cover it with charcoal and sawdust – contained in a conveniently-located compartment right next to the seat. Each day run that bucket out to your active compost pile. A World Made by Hand, one bucket at a time…

            Or live in your government-supplied cube, eating gourmet masterpieces fresh from your 3D printer. And try not to think about those pipes connecting your toilet to your printer…

            Uh, the SW has not blown their water situation, Mother Nature has. The missing water comes from Colorado and Utah snow. California north depends on Sierra Nevada water sheds for its water. Both have not gotten sufficient snow to supply their watersheds.

            2. Toilets are not the problem anywhere, agriculture is. Developments use one seventh of the water that watering crops does. You think that aggies are not a problem, think this, one fourth of US produce comes from the San Joaquin valley year around and that pretty lettuce you get in the winter comes from Arizona. Both are under threat from fresh water source disruptions.

            What the heck will happen to the groundwater if every house had an outhouse?

        Better to be born a Habsburg or something similar, maybe a part of the Tudor family or House of Wittelsbach etc. Then you won’t need any DNA studies. In a situation like that your ancestry will all be public historical knowledge and with all your begats going back as distant as a 1000 years ago. You’ll have a bloodline that can be represented on a graph, like they do with the ancestry of show horses and show dogs.

        The downside to that research could also include finding a written record of all your cousins that married cousins. And why so many of you look similar. If you are a woman, imagine something like your aunt also being your mother in law. Everybody wants to go back in their DNA and discover they are related to someone famous, powerful, wealthy, etc. Or they have an ancestor that arrived on the Mayflower. Just like when people do past life regression therapy, they are hoping to be the reincarnation of King David, King Tut, or maybe Cleopatra etc.

        • Blackbird September 1, 2022 at 7:24 pm #

          I enjoy hearing people’s stories of the realizations they had through “past life regression therapy” – “I was a Nubian princess!”, “I was a Cherokee princess!”…

          You never hear anyone saying, “I was a leprous, one-legged, Moravian peasant who lived to the ripe old age of 17, when I was captured by Turks and torn to pieces by rabid dogs for their entertainment, leaving behind a wife and 6 kids – none of whom would reach adulthood.”

    By insisting he accept their lies as real,
    By insisting he was never to his people tied,
    By dictating exactly what he might feel,
    By permitting bawdy joy but never pride.
    They believed a lion could be brought to heel,
    That a lion could from his courage be pried,
    That the lion himself would learn to kneel,
    That a lion would not care even if his line died,
    That the lion himself would accept such a deal.

    Jarek: Bawdy joy but never pride. Well said, sir, well said. But a man alone is weak, he needs his brothers. Brotherhood is the jewel. Most male lions go their own way. But one litter of five brothers stayed together – and conquered a whole part of Eastern Africa, killing or driving out other male lions and taking their females. Think this doesn’t apply to the future of the White race? Only brotherhood can save us.

    The new Black mayor of Jacksonville promised to make his city into the most radical city on the planet. Instead he turned it into Haiti. Is this what he meant? Can you have a city without any water? I admit mass chaos, no sewage, no capacity to put out fires and mass exodus is radical.

    Is anyone else here following the water crisis in Jackson, MS? I mean, come on, this is crazy! Who would have thought this to happen in the “civilized” West of the USA?

    Then again, it is interesting to note that the mayor of Jackson is Chokwe Antar Lumumba, a 39-year-old whipper snapper that openly claims to be a progressive, socialist, and political revolutionary. His wife’s name is “Ebony”.

    Lumumba was elected mayor in June 2017 with 93% of the vote. The Nation commented that “Lumumba lit up the left press with his promise—delivered later that month in a speech at the People’s Summit in Chicago—to make Jackson ‘the most radical city on the planet.’”

    I’ve been through the city of Jackson last summer, merely to visit the statehouse and a few other buildings downtown. The city struck me as sad and dilapidated.

    Once again, with 93% of the vote, you get the results that you deserve.

      “We may be looking at six months to a year of this,” said Ms. Finch, 42 years old, adding, “it really makes me angry. It scares me.”

      White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre [the Blowholer] said at a news briefing Wednesday that Mississippi had received $75 million from last year’s bipartisan infrastructure package to improve its water infrastructure, with $429 million available to the state in the next five years.

      No doubt, many of these millions of dollars will be, if they haven’t already, funneled into the private accounts of politicians like Mayor Lumumba. Check his standard of living, I am sure he is already a multi-millionaire.

        The governor can only do so much, this is city infrastructure we are talking about. However, that does make you wonder, since Jackson is the State Capital, where exactly does the governor live, and how does he feel about this impacting the state buildings and services?

        • MaryQueen September 1, 2022 at 5:47 pm #

          Good questions.

          I doubt that the governor was ignorant of the problem. It seems to me that many people saw this coming. In any case, the mayor does look the worst.

          I wonder if they’ll just do nothing like they did in Flint, MI?

    • Woodchuck September 1, 2022 at 3:58 pm #

      The proper response to a crisis like this, with sewage treatment plants unable to handle the volume of what’s flowing into the plant – is too tell people to stop flushing – period. Also stop *all* automatic dishwasher use and stop bathing indoors. You want a shower? Go outside in your underwear or in a swimsuit and hose yourself off. You gotta pee? Go out in the backyard, otherwise use a bedpan just like the females in your home are doing. Gotta poop? If that’s the non negotiable side of the plumbing issue, then send the sewage treatment only that. Don’t be sending them bath water, dishwasher drainage, washing machine drainage. Go get a big plastic tub for watering livestock at some place like Rural King, and wash your stuff outside. And use hot water for that if you like. And if ya got the balls, use it as a bathtub. Just be draining the municipal water you use into your backyard or to a curb.

      Would people do this if their city government asked them to do this voluntarily?

      No!

      • cowbell81 September 1, 2022 at 4:13 pm #

    Dan Bongino was bloviating earlier, about how the early Biden was a racist and now he isn’t, so he’s lying now or something.

    Two point of view: When Biden had his wits, he was a racist as per his upbringing I asume.

      Well, he is from Delaware.

      The South is closer to the North than a lot of people realize. Both Delaware and Maryland were slave states that voted to stay in the Union.

      Delaware is the same latitude as northern Virginia. The southern portion of the state is part of the Delmarva Peninsula.

      The same could be said of Delaware as of Maryland:
      “Although it was a slave-holding state, Maryland did not secede. The majority of the population living north and west of Baltimore held loyalties to the Union, while most citizens living on larger farms in the southern and eastern areas of the state were sympathetic to the Confederacy.”

        There will probably be some false flag event the week prior to this year’s 9/11, likely over the long holiday weekend. Given that Biden is giving his speech tonight, this will give them time to cook something up and blame it on the Proud Boys or some such “terrorist” organization.

    Now they’re pulling the ableism and racist card on required mask wearing:

    A professor at Northern Illinois University outlined to students that they all must wear masks while in his class, arguing that not wearing face masks indoors “is a manifestation of ableism and racism.”

    “Refusing to mask indoors is a manifestation of ableism and racism, an exercise of individual privilege that tells the most vulnerable that their health and the health of their loved ones does not matter. Thus, masks are required here. They are NOT optional,” a message from Northern Illinois University physics professor Jahred Adelman says, according to a photo of a projector screen from the class.

    The professor’s instruction on masks was made public after a student reported the matter through the Young America’s Foundation’s Campus Bias Tip Line. YAF obtained a copy of Adelman’s syllabus, which outlines that “Masks are required AT ALL times in PHYS 253.” If students do not comply, they will be booted from the class, according to the syllabus.

    “Masks are required AT ALL times in PHYS 253. Here and in your labs. It is not pleasant, but it is for your health and safety, my health and safety, and the health and safety of your friends and colleagues. If you do not follow this requirement, you will be asked to leave,” Adelman wrote in the course syllabus, according to YAF.

    Northern Illinois University, a public university in DeKalb County, Illinois, eased its mask requirements in February, but states on its website that “faculty members can require masks be worn in their teaching spaces.” Adelman has been working at the college since 2014, and currently serves as the director of graduate studies for the physics department.

    Adelman told Fox News Digital on Thursday in email correspondence that his rules on masks comply with school guidance and explained he’s working to “keep everyone a little safer while we learn physics.”

    “The university allows professors to set mask policy in their classrooms and laboratories. I cannot and would not tell students what to do outside of my class, but if I can do my part to keep everyone a little safer while we learn physics, I will do so. Of particular concern to me is protecting those students of color and those with special health demands and needs, whom studies have shown are disproportionately impacted by the virus,” Adelman said.

    Northern Illinois University’s press team did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on the matter. A representative for the school did tell YAF that Adelman’s views on maskless individuals “reflect his personal opinion.”

    The syllabus provided to YAF also shows historical scientists photoshopped with face coverings or seen maskless, with captions such as, “I don’t want to see your nose this semester unless we’re outdoors” and “Neck gaiters are not acceptable.”

    A student at the school told YAF that Adelman is the only professor who teaches the required PHYS 253 NIU course.

    YAF spokeswoman Kara Zupkus touted the youth conservative organization’s tip line in comment to Fox News Digital on Thursday as a resource for “students facing intimidation and bullying tactics from professors like this one.”

    “As our nation’s campuses become more polarized with left-wing activists parading as educators, it’s up to us to hold these leaders accountable for their viewpoint discrimination, and ensure that conservative students are able to speak freely in the classroom,” Zupkus said.

    Going maskless while in indoor public settings has been labeled racist and ableist by other professors in recent days, including in New York by a SUNY New Paltz professor.

    “Refusing to mask indoors is a manifestation of ableism and racism, an exercise of individual privilege that tells the most vulnerable that their health does not matter,” women’s, gender and sexuality studies professor Jessica Nydia Pabón-Colón said in a draft of her syllabus, which she posted Twitter last month.

    CFNers, rest easy.

    I drove along the coast today on US1, between Madison & Waterford, Ct, a distance of about 25 miles. Route 1 is the coastal route between NYC & Boston, America’s 1st road dating back to the early to mid 17th century. It travels essentially the same path as it did in 1650, and is not underwater. The road is dry as a bone. US1 is not flooded out! We ended up at the Harkness Memorial Mansion in Waterford — now a beautiful State Park — built in the 1890s. This is a waterfront, stone mansion constructed 130 years ago, and is NOT PRESENTLY THREATENED BY RISING SEA LEVELS. In fact all the way up the Ct coast the ocean appeared calm and non threatening, a beautiful blue sea. RR tracks laid down in thec1880s

      are still be used by Amtrak and Conrail, trains were zipping by. For 150 years or so it seems sea levels have been pretty steady in Coastal Connecticut if measured against a century and a half of port and RR infrastructure. My conclusion is that Sea Level Rise due to melting arctic ice packs is a goddam lie — there are no rising sea levels that I can make out. If they’re lying about this, what else are they lying about?

      • JohnAZ September 1, 2022 at 10:31 pm #

        Sea ice in the Arctic that is melting add nothing, sea ice anywhere add very little because is is floating in the water and already displaces the water inside itself.

        The Northern hemisphere is mostly sea ice, Greenland ice and glaciers in mountain regions. Greenland ice should add to the world’s oceans, but not two feet, the glaciers will soak into the ground before they make it to the sea.

        Some how the volume of Greenland ice should be calculable, land area times average ice depth ought to do it. Then find the volumes of the oceans and find the percentage that the Greenland ice represents. Take an average depth of the oceans and add the percentage, it will be minuscule, maybe immeasurable.

        A lie as you point out.

        Antarctica is different, much of its ice is on land with a rim of sea ice. Remember that sea ice does not add, nor ice flows. How much the ice cap could add is probably calculable, but the cap is not melting appreciably because it is protected by a circumpolar sea current.

        Most of the ice melting will not contribute depth. Most of the ocean change since the last ice age where a large percentage of Gaia was under a mile of ice, has already happened.

        BTW, the real problem is the movement of the wind belts, think tropicals, Trades, Westerlies and Polars as the gradient from equator to pole increases and the resulting flux increases. The frictional boundaries between the belts gives you hurricanes, jet streams with resultant storm centers that are increasing, quiet zones with low level storm belts causing low rainfall and deserts. Mountains interfacing with these belts, jet streams, storms add drought shadows. Look at a vegetation map of the world to see the effects of latitudinal banding.

        We know next to nothing about the effects of all this adding the ocean currents and resulting atmospheric gyres.

        Yet we are trying to “rebrand” our climate.

        Watch out!

      A state park I’d like to visit if I was ever in Gloucester is Dogtown. There are all sorts of wierd stories about the place – Twilight Zone stuff. There’s a scenic hiking trail going through the Dogtown park, once a community in the 1600’s and an abandoned ghost town by 1830.

    SloJo is apparently officially declaring war on everyone who doesn’t agree with him now, which by most reasonable accounts is pretty much everyone with a functioning brain (sorry for that, Tom Clark).

    President Biden on Thursday warned Americans that democracy is under attack from a faction of the Republican party led by former President Donald Trump, and called on Democrats, mainstream Republicans and independents to “speak up, speak out, get engaged — vote, vote vote.”

    https://www.npr.org/2022/09/01/1120235793/biden-speech-democracy

    Biden later added, “For those of you can’t, won’t, or choose not to vote, don’t worry about it. We’ll fix the vote in my favor for you.” That line drew wild applause from the largely hand-picked partisan audience.

    Prosecutors considering untold numerous corruption, malfeasance, and treason charges against the sitting “president” declined comment.

      Dis

      Every statement he made supports a totalitarian Uniparty Deep State in DC. His speech was a declaration of war against the folks that do not believe in this. The Dems must still be scared about November to allow an old derelict like SloJoe to present the Dem dogma.

      We need a revolution.

      • workingclasshero September 2, 2022 at 12:16 am #

        The democrats aren’t scared at all. His speech, though despicable is excellent strategy. They know 40-55% of the nation despise them but fence sitting voters still buy the “Trump is too divisive ” bullshit and may vote democratic to put Trump in the rearview or believe Republicans are semi-monstrous. They are pulling even with Republicans in many states which is almost unbelievable to me considering how awful they were 2 years ago but the truism that voters don’t have a memory longer than 9 months is true In America’s case.

      • tucsonspur September 2, 2022 at 6:19 am #

        You make a good point. Sadly enough, the Dems have succeeded in relentlessly expanding the TWAT population (Trump weary and tired) over the last five or six years.

        The abrasive, eroding, grinding action of constant conflict over Trump is bound to take its toll. Jan. 6th was pure gold for the Dems as was the decision on abortion.

        Right John, but we won’t have one. Yes, I don’t think it’s an overstatement, Biden just declared war on Trump Republicans.

          Subtle, it wasn’t. Feeds the fire that something big will happen this fall/winter, no matter who wins.

      “We’ll fix the vote in my favor for you.” That line drew wild applause from the largely hand-picked partisan audience.

      We have, in our lifetimes, witnessed the complete inversion of American public discourse.

      ““For those of you can’t, won’t, or choose not to vote, don’t worry about it. We’ll fix the vote in my favor for you.””

      Is this a joke from The Onion?
      Or did he actually say this?
      If the latter, I cannot grasp it.

      This is, of course, an admission of guilt in the previous election.

      Any first-year psychologist would see this.

      Anyone trained to detect liars—say, in a criminal investigation or spy situation—will recognize this immediately. When people make these kinds of jokes, it is because of a drive to relieve an unconscious pressure.

      But maybe he didn’t say this?
      Are will still in the USA, planet Earth?

    As GW would say, “Lotsa weird shit on this blog.”

    Thanks for the call out, Dis. I’m developing quite a reputation! At least I’m not panting like a puppy to get my mug on Mt. Rushmore.

      Just got back from the Black Hills for vacation. Believe me, Mt. Rushmore has no more room for any one else. Oh, yeah the granite around the area is.

      Who is GW? You’re so humble tom. And you do have lotsa brain power. It reminds me of that odd little phrase you’ll hear someone say on a blue moon “I don’t do windows”. I always thought to myself how biggity and strange. I like cleaning windows because then everything looks crisp and clear and vivid. The gems of humility lol. See tom, no reason at all for you to get down.

    I’ve still a long way to 50 … but here goes …

    September 1. Labour Day. The elites coming home from their summer vacays in the Hamptons, Martha’s, Muskokas, etc.

    They are gearing up. It is almost Show Time.

      Hmmm, it actually makes me wonder if they’ll come down with summer colds or monkeypox or something once they get settled in in their respective homes and everything. Hopefully they sufficiently quarantine and cleanse prior to Show Time.

    I just spent 2+ hours with my 76 y.o. father. Always good laughs.

    He and Mom have the 2 original shots plus 2 boosters each. Dad was all pumped that he can get his 5th jab soon.

    I said, “I wish that you wouldn’t” and “I saw that only 12% of Canadians have 4 jabs” and “This batch is super-duper with two spike proteins.”

    Not a chance.

    Prayer hands.

    • SoftStarLight September 2, 2022 at 2:46 am #

      So do mean not a chance like your dad isn-t going to get the 5th jab now? Or do you mean that not a chance that he would change his mind based on what you said?

      • Bob Polecat September 2, 2022 at 3:05 am #

        There is no chance of changing his mind. He will go get his 5th jab ASAP and then will go home to his big decision: CNN or CNBC?

    They are now openly stating that testing the latest “booster shot” on humans would be too time-consuming.
