Besides trying to just live their lives in these days of socioeconomic meltdown, which, Gawd knows, is hard enough, the people can barely sort out the seemingly malevolent intentions of the folks in-charge of the monster that government has become. And so, the question arises: are they actually trying to kill us all, or are they so corrupt and stupid that everything they touch falls apart?  In other words, is it mastermindery or clusterfuckery?

On the former side, you have that gallery of international villains out of the James Bond playbook: Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, and George Soros — megalomaniacs armed with mega-money, a sho’nuff recipe for trouble — representing the emergence of a world-saving regime, in concert with lackey national leaderships. Their narrative goes like this: humans have over-replicated, like maggots in a trash can, they’re wrecking the planet and gobbling (our) resources, and we must find a way to get rid of them that looks like a natural catastrophe so the hidden powers-that-be don’t get blamed for pulling a global Auschwitz. Hence Covid-19 and the sketchy vaccinations. (“The Great Reset.” You will be dead and you will like it!)

I must say, I don’t go for that story, even if that trio have played their parts in some wicked doings du jour. Rather, I subscribe to the latter scenario: the likelihood that we’re in a pile-up of quandaries that we can only pretend to manage, and that all our pretenses of control and management only make things worse, while making a mockery of human ingenuity. This does not rule out an element of personal greed and attempted power-mongering, but look, for instance, at where all that has left the hapless Dr. Tony Fauci.

Not only did he finance the development of the Covid-19 virus so he could heroically bring forth a super-vax to the awe of mankind, and gain a niche in the pantheon of Great Men in History (plus make a buck on his share of the vax patents), but he screwed up the public health messaging so badly that Science itself now looks like a mere evil racket instead of the great achievement it used to be. His reputation is shot and he could end his days in an orange jump suit doing Chinese fire drills up and down the exercise court at Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary.

Anyway, the Covid-19 story is now utterly unraveling and the official actions around it look desperately idiotic. It’s back to mass mask-ups and maybe even lockdowns. But don’t get the idea that those mRNA vaccines turned out to have a short half-life — though it kind of looks like they did. In which case, why the panicky rush to get absolutely everybody vaxed up? And how’s that working? I’ll tell you how: only with last-ditch attempts at totalitarian intimidation… you will have no rights to earn a living, go out in public, buy anything, or even protest on the street about any of these insults to human dignity.

The world has never seen the launch of such a gigantic lead balloon. All week, the hysteria has been building and now the balloon is falling to earth as the CDC prepares to announce that the vaxes are a bust against the “Delta variant” and it’s back to the drawing board for all the toiling myrmidons of Big Pharma. Did House Speaker Nancy Pelosi get some insider info on this, having appointed herself mask-sheriff of the US Capitol Building, threatening now to arrest non-masked members and their staffers. Indeed, even a few fully-vaxed-up congresspeople were moved to shout, “Hey wait a minute.”

Mrs. Pelosi, meanwhile, is busy orchestrating her national sob story to prove that half the country are domestic terrorists for trespassing in her office and need to be cancelled, especially the former president behind that dastardly “insurrection” — against whom criminal referrals will be shortly forthcoming to Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice. As if… one can only think.

As if, that is, the half of America not lost in the transports of Wokery and fantasies of half-assed communism are going to roll over for it. Please, pull the pin on that grenade, Nancy, you demented, deliquescing old jade! America has had enough of you, and your mendacious machinations, and of your sidekick, the sham president “Joe Biden” and his pitiful mummeries in the service of a claque that wants to destroy what little remains of the public interest and our national honor. You have no idea, Nancy, how all this is going to blow up in your face and leave you a figure of historic odium.

Meanwhile, events churn relentlessly in the background… especially the bankruptcy of America (the Western World, really), and the unappetizing effect that will have on our standard-of-living… and the terrifying momentum of election audits that will prompt a national crisis of confidence as summer stumbles into fall… and drought, crop failures, supply-line breaks, and food shortages coming down… and hundreds of thousands of third world mutts jumping the southern border… and the very real possibility that China will just go ahead and snatch Taiwan while our pussified US military hollers “no fair” from a safe distance….

I tell you, this is some ripe moment. We are spinning into pandemonium. The vacuum of leadership is awesome, as if Gawd himself has split the scene in utter disgust and left matters to the ancient furies.

    Carefully crafted plan or paroxysmal collective madness* – does it matter?
    The real goalposts are unbudgeable, inexorable and were fixed from day one.
    Pain and pleasure are transient, death the only certainty.
    People clinging to the elusive while acting as if the definite doesn’t exist remains an enigma.

    * Unfortunately, madness has become omnipresent on both sides of the debate, as one can clearly see by the rampant obsession** amongst the commentariat here.

    ** I get it: obsession is good for the business (as usual.)

    (No, I don’t count Mr. Kunstler among the obsessive ones (at least not between the hardcore bunch): his craft here is to write and, as any good writer does, to stir up emotions. The challenge for the readers is to keep level-headed so they can better enjoy the awesomeness and calmly digest the food for thought.)

      There are alternatives to those presented. Our host has described them very well in the past. Live simple, disciplined lives in line with local community needs and relationships. Do these things in the sure knowledge of absolute morality and dignity.

      • O.G. Hawkins July 30, 2021 at 10:31 am #

        You have no clue what they are about to do to us.

        Not 1 sniff.

        • Disaffected July 30, 2021 at 10:39 am #

          Agreed. I’m disappointed in Jim’s conclusion, especially after the podcast the other day spelled it out in detail.

          • O.G. Hawkins July 30, 2021 at 11:00 am #

            I was surprised. I thought Mr K was hip to their jive.

            The only thing that I can think of is that he is “keeping his powder dry” and “sitting on the fence” lest he be called tinfoil.

            Either that or Mr K has a little psychological blanky in his pocket.

            The Truth is The Truth. Dr Charles Hoffe exlained the micro-clotting in 62% of his patients, vaxxes do not protect from “The Delta Variant” and they are bribing the unjabbed to join their weird global experiment.

            There is overwhelming evidence that we need stop jabbibg this evil Kool-aid into people while they push harder and harder and harder to get 2 and 3 doses into the entire population of Earth like a crappy comic book that I would’ve ignored when I was 12. [“Hand me that Mad magazine, please and thanks.”]

            Mr K knows that. We all do.

            ——

            Billy Gates, Klaus Schwab, George Soros, the House of Rothschild, Queen Lizard, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, WEF, IMF, BIS, WHO … etc., etc., etc, are all incompetent, benevolent boobs trying to grow Earth’s population to 8B and 9B and 10B. Ya think? They are incompetent boobs now after lifetimes of unfathomable success and riches?

            I’m not sure that I like your Police work, there Mr K.

            Mandates for all will be coming VERY soon. There won’t be any escaping it. And Fauci wearing a jumpsuit? Poor Jim hasn’t been sufficiently disabused of his notions of rule of law yet. That ship has LONG SINCE sailed.

          • hmuller July 30, 2021 at 11:08 am #

            Some people prefer to interpret the world as a remarkable series of coincidences rather than conspiracies, the latter IMHO better fits Occam’s razor.

          • Night Owl July 30, 2021 at 2:59 pm #

            Yep. That interview with Catherine Austin Fitts (in the last entry) was on the money.

            The dollar has collapsed, the banksters and WEF psychopaths are now going to replace the old system with the Global Plantation, or New Normal as they call it at present.

            Covid is the Trojan horse for a digital tracking system based on a global ID/digital wallet that will give the criminals the power to shut you off if you do not comply.

            The fuzziest parts on exactly what the role of the Frankenshots are, aside from use as a vehicle to implement the totalitarian system they have written about.

        • Bob12065 July 30, 2021 at 11:11 am #

          Agreed.

          I would not be surprised if Pres* is taken out by assass-n-ation. He would be the necessary sacrificial lamb. It would be blamed on trumpers, wht sups, wht ntlists, repubs, conservs, etc. That would provide them with the reason that they need to seize complete power, their reichstag fire leading to their night of the long knives, abolition of the Constitution, outlawing those damn guns, concentration camps, etc. Harris would be forced to resign or taken out with *. Obama is brought back as “temporary” president due to the national emergency. No doubt the assassin is already being currated/cultivated along with the creation of his social media history. And of course it would be necessary for him to be executed on the spot in a hail of bullets by the IC.

          • Blackbird July 30, 2021 at 11:56 am #

            Nice theorizing Bob, but my money is on the Ho to take the hit. The first BIPOC female pres-to-be, murdered by – of course – white racists(!). Cue the “peaceful protests”, watch as-yet untoasted cities go up in flames. Of course we will have to disarm all of the lawful white gun owners. Who will step into the breach to save us? Cue the heavenly choir as the Hildebeast descends once more the the earthly plane to guide us ingrates to the promised land. I had expected this by Memorial Day to kick off the Summer of Hate – somebody’s scheduling seems a bit off.

          • MaryQueen July 30, 2021 at 11:59 am #

            Some of my friends are convinced Biden & Harris will be taken out.

          • Night Owl July 30, 2021 at 3:04 pm #

            I dunno how they are going to go, but I do know Biden told us they are going to turn the US into an autocracy the other day.

            Trudeau has also given the game away.

            At this point, one can either believe what they are telling us (and prepare or fight appropriately), or they can come up with an alternative theory that will never come true.

            Fauci is a bit player in all of this. Covid is a hoax. The Global Plantation is the goal.

      Unfortunately, madness has become omnipresent on both sides of the debate, as one can clearly see by the rampant obsession** amongst the commentariat here.

      You seem to be judging theories based on the desire and commitment of their advocates, ak. While that actually can be of use in one’s search for The Truth, you are applying it backwards.

      That is, it appears that you are looking at the Blankies and the Hip and are assuming that they are all Wrong and that The Real Truth lies somewhere in the middle.

      It appears that you are saying, “Calm down, folks! Sure the gentleman says [finger quotes] that there is a large fire threatening us all here in this crowded moviehouse … but does he not appear Just a little too emphatic for us to fall for that. I say, ‘Let’s all sit back down and watch the 3rd reel to see what happens.'”

      Yes, you are a blanky, ak.

        @O.G. Hawkins

        Dear Sir,

        What I believe in is even more irrelevant than my mere physical existence.

        The Universe as an all-encompassing hourglass and we, the sand; doesn’t matter who turns it upside down once in a while, all you ever need to know is that it gets turned and that some will go down easy, and others squirming.

        Best regards.

        • hmuller July 30, 2021 at 11:29 am #

          I feel like the egg timed by the hourglass. Laid once, then tossed into boiling water.

    • Pete July 30, 2021 at 11:48 am #

      For what it’s worth, choosing to believe it’s clusterfuckery, gives me hope that order can be restored. Maybe not ‘normal’ but orderly.

      Succumbing to the belief that it’s mastermindery, leads me to dark, stressful places, and causes me distress.

      I know, que sera, sera and all that. Whatever the case, as you pointed out above (I think), it really doesn’t matter. We must navigate our way through this.

      I’d like it to be clusterfuckery, but their own actions suggest mastermindery with clusterfuckery inserts.

      Still, I need to face the real circumstance that I must accept an injection against my will if I am to function and thrive in a society where in the past this would have been unacceptable to all of us.

      It still is unacceptable to me.

      • Islander July 30, 2021 at 1:17 pm #

        Pete,
        “For what it’s worth, choosing to believe it’s clusterfuckery, gives me hope that order can be restored. Maybe not ‘normal’ but orderly.”

        I wish. But who is around to restore “order”?
        It would/will be the military, and at the point of a gun, and maybe also a needle. I’ll let them shoot me, but not jab me! I am starting tp get pissed about this!!!

        It feels to me kind of like the last days of Pompeii.

        Waiting for the second shoe to drop re enforcing vaxxes. How far will they go? Put one in the local clinker? That would at least be good for a story in the newspaper.

        Local boards of health once again mandate maskery.
        I ignored in supermarket and PO, and no one said anything to me.

        • Night Owl July 30, 2021 at 3:08 pm #

          I said a while back that they will use the private sector to do the dirtiest work.

          They need to maintain the illusion of democracy and fairness. Germany is upping testing requirements for kids to 3x a week. Facebook and Google just implemented mandatory shots for employees, and I assume more of the Woke corporations are going to do the same — because they are part of Global Cap and their goal is the New Normal/global plantation.

          When WEF puppet and ex-Rothschild banker Macron mandated vaxx passes last week, he initially included supermarkets, before rolling things back a little.

          Yes, they fully plan to deny the resistance access to food once they have enough of the population in the system.

          The writing is on the wall

          • Pete July 31, 2021 at 11:42 am #

            The Private Sector as the Driver of Unconstitutional Practices

            Yes! How are we accepting this?

            The government is the guarantor of our liberties with respect to that document. They are obligated.

            The Woke 500 are agents of this illegitimate regime. They lie to their employees with impunity. Mine does. Complete contradiction to what the CDC says. (of-all-sources).

            I know the government is lying to me, because that’s simply what governments do. Doesn’t matter the topic, circumstance or the personality delivering the message. They are lying.

            When the t.v. and the people you work for are saying the same or absurdly amplified message as the government, they are lying too.

            As I said, this is mastermindery with clusterfuckery inserts. In fact, the clusterfuckery can be depended on by the masterminders. I would say there’s a fair amount of clusterfuckery among the masterminders, they (presumably) being human and all.

            If I were to hazard a guess as to the masterminders, I think I’d just use Occam’s Razor again vis-a-vis, follow the money. Thus, I would round up the 100 wealthiest people in the world and have a sit down.

            I have a strong aversion to fully accepting mastermindery. My hope of order from clusterfuckery wasn’t something to be enforced as much as it was to be realized by those of us in this. Although it seems like, civil conflict is indeed desired or expected by the masterminders, we don’t really have to kill each other. If sane minds can have an honest look at the problem set, I’m certain we could deal with this, without a mandatory injection of a synthetic, recombinant, chimeric protein. With every fiber I want to be wrong about this, fade away, and not hurt anyone with my ruminations.

            The focused and amplified outrage porn industry is causing our civil discourse to be dysfunctional. Where are the calm voices? Are they ALL compromised? Big technology’s choke hold on the message is a disaster. How many of our newly minted tech billionaires would be at that sit down?

            Censorship is killing people. The agenda is murder.

        It still is unacceptable to me.

        Then Pete, how can you even contemplate it? You’re willing to risk your own death or possible enslavement just so you you can continue to function and thrive. Do you hear yourself?

        Before you attack me with “Ok man, what the hell are you gonna do?” I’ll tell you right now. My wife and I have already discussed it. We will never accept the vaccine. If we get shut out of all systems we will escape to our hiding place in the forest. If we are unable to make it there then they will meet our firepower and we will go to meet our maker.

        When the fuck are people gonna start making the ultimate sacrifice? Why does it always have to be the other guy who does the dirty work. Live free or die otherwise it’s all just bullshit talk!

          We’re in agreement. I’m not taking the vax ever.

          I’m in no hurry to throw myself into barricades however.

    • Rulo Deschamps July 30, 2021 at 1:40 pm #

      kullervo, many good points, few words. Excellent.
      hmuller, ditto. Tossed into boiling water. Good way to summarize it. Connects to what Pete says further down: “Succumbing to the belief that it’s mastermindery, leads me to dark, stressful places, and causes me distress.” Not sure if “succumbing” is the word. Maybe grimly acknowledging? Realizing? Strongly suspecting? One succumbs to a lie, awakens to the truth.
      To add to the poultry metaphors hmuller started: I feel like one of my broilers the night before they are butchered. Do they know what awaits them at sunup? Do they have an inkling, a premonition? Perhaps the thing that gives me the most comfort is to know that I, us, many of us out there, worldwide, unlike the chickens, can and will fight.
      “Pain and pleasure are transient, death the only certainty” as kullervo says. When we embrace and accept that concept, we see things in a new light. Why accept the unacceptable, like Pete says? Life is a battle. It helps to go into battle accepting you’re dead already. Liberating.

      • Pete July 31, 2021 at 11:54 am #

        Nice.

        I see the choice as a struggle, thus giving in to the darker reality, as opposed to the lighter fantasy.

        But yes!

    • Hereward the Woke July 30, 2021 at 3:25 pm #

      Great post, as usual. Just one quibble. Fauci is “hapless”. Is that a synonym for “evil psychopath”? He reminds me of that crew member who set the SS Moro Castle alight deliberately so he could become a fire fighting hero and save the passengers. Pretty much the same result as Fauci’s efforts. He ain’t the Mr Big behind all this, but he deserves to hang nonetheless.

      I just read the most incredible article blasting Greenwald, Dore, Tabbi and others for their sins of going on shows like “the white supremacist” Tucker Carlson:

      https://www.counterpunch.org/2021/07/30/rise-of-the-right-how-the-vaudeville-left-fuels-white-supremacy/

      Would appreciate feedback on this from JHK readers.

      I am actually shocked the writer didn’t throw JHK into his list of traitors.

      Is this really what the “left” believes??

      • Night Owl July 31, 2021 at 12:51 pm #

        Yes. This started during the Trump era. The modern left has been propagandized over years, just as much of the right has. Progams like the Daily Show, Colbert Report, etc. have conditioned them to abandon critical thinking for the safety of the herd.

        They are now so extreme that even old-school lefties and center leftists like Dore and co. are vilified. Dore even got suckered into the shot, and Greenwald and Taibbi still can’t quite admit what is going on, though they get closer each day.

        I was what one would have called a leftie back when Shrub was in office, and now I do not recognize anyone that I once considered worth listening to. The people who once railed against the MIC, corporate greed, wars, etc., are now the ones cheerleading them because Pfizer and Raytheon have rainbow-colored Twitter graphics.

        These people are so fucking stupid that I find it difficult to comprehend. But the class below them, the ones who have retained some of their principles and some semblance of a moral compass are almost worse, as they fear taking a true stand.

        CJ Hopkins calls out Glenn Greenwald nearly every week. The West is descending into tyranny, and those of us not fooled by the creators and excecutors of this tyranny are surrounded by idiots or jellyfish.

    Greetings,

    For me, the big story will be Taiwan. Taiwan will be the anvil that the USA gets hammered on. Once the entire world sees that Taiwan can be snatched and that we are powerless to do anything about it will be the very moment that we lose the majority of our “allies”.

    At this point in time, China will have us by the short hairs with regards to semiconductor production and we will be forced to do whatever they wish or sit in the dark. Biden’s tranny army will be too busy figuring out which hole to pee into and a sick and obese United States will be left to rot while China acquires all of our productive farmland.

    If you guys are not preparing for this eventuality each and every day then you are doing yourselves and your families a disservice.

          China did well because the US allowed it to do well back in the 70’s when Nixon was President. That set the stage for China to become the world’s factory.

          China performed economic and industrial feats because back then we still were burning cheap fossil fuels including coal which China had plenty of. Now coal is in decline for China and cheap, affordable fossil fuels is a thing of the past. Now it costs lots-o-money to get it out of the ground or sea.

          Nations fund their obligation not by consuming the oil but by selling it. China is a huge importer of oil. The reason we are in this economic collapse is because as Gail Tverberg likes to point out as well as Jim is that prices are too low for the producers and way too high for the consumers.

          Ergo, you have a problem because as “our rich billionaire friends” make everyone poorer the economy will never move forward to keep things going. So as both Gail and Jim have said in the past, things will collapse globally because we are here today because of fossil fuels and there isn’t a pie in the sky to replace it.

          So this has nothing to do with China’s morality or cultural stance, it’s all about the oil.

            the best way to understand what a powerful drug oil is is to spend a morning, like I just did, digging up a stump from a field I intend to plant. A reasonably strong and fit man will spend hours, nay, days, with adze, shovel, machete and axe to accomplish something that would take an oil-fed machine 5 minutes.

            JHK was all about the oil, and was right. I would like to see one of his essays connecting the dots: energy depletion – the current massive psy ops – demand destruction.

        China doesn’t have to be able to outrun the angry bear – it only needs to be able to outrun the United States.

        US soldiers performed worst of all armies in WWII – highest rates of combat fatigue and an army where, at best, 1 in 6 men even bothered to employ their weapons during combat. What saved us was the fact that we could mass produce both food and weapons and had the logistic capacity to move it all around. Today, it is China that can mass produce and it is China that has the logistic capacity to move it all around. Hell, even the mighty California couldn’t produce a choo-choo train – something humans have been doing going on 175 years.

        Rodster, the Chinese know how to wage war. Did they not write the definitive book on war both figuratively and literally? Whether China is able to escape the “collapsing fireball” or not is quite irrelevant in regard to the ultimate outcome. Decades ago, Nehru and Mao met. The topic of nuclear war came up. It is reported that Mao told Nehru that China could afford to lose 300 million and still maintain a cohesive society. China has vast social capital and cohesiveness plus the infrastructure needed to survive calamities. Do we? This concept reminds me of an old joke. You and I are being chased by a bear. Who manages to survive? The one who can run faster than the other. It’s not a perfect analogy, but I’m sure you get the point.

      • SpeedyBB July 30, 2021 at 5:14 pm #

        Rodster, I admire Chinese industriousness and fighting spirit, and the way that they have regenerated a modern society after the delirious catastrophes of Maoism.

        There are, according to the authentic Sinologists (among whom I do not include myself) simply too many baked-in contradictions for the PRC to assume the mantle of planetary leadership it all-too-obviously fantasizes occurring. One studied conclusion is that they will go bang in a big way, in the not-too-distant future.

        I propose that one must visit a large city in that tormented land to truly appreciate the level of modernity and infrastructure development that they have achieved in such an incredibly short period. Then there is the mammoth investment in developing the PLA and extending the reach and projection of power of their blue-water navy, a more recent development that shows no sign of slowing.

        The late Professor Michael Leifer gave a very profound talk here in Jakarta some years ago, one key conclusion being that China needs to be kept preoccupied with its internal struggles and conflicts, for if not it will start to hunt abroad for places to cause mischief. Doing so under the guise of “foreign aid” is a classic maneuver. It is already beginning to show wear and fraying, even in [basket-case] Africa.

        • MisterBimmler July 31, 2021 at 10:13 am #

          China has a baked in tangle of problems just like any other country. I try to remind people of this when they proffer Fu Manchu type plots to rule the world. The difference seems to be that they’re aware enough of it that they make attempts to stifle endemic corruption instead of the American Wild West shrug “That’s just the way it is.” The fatalism I see in Americans now is all too similar to that of Arabs who see spectacular graft and shrug and say “It’s God’s Will”

      US semiconductors have invested in Taiwan for fabrication. Loss of Taiwan would be catastrophic. The west will shrivel up and die.

        If the CCP really wanted to put the screws to the US they would order Kim and the Norks to roll/level Seoul.

          Why any of the power mongers in China, the US or Europe allowed the hype concentration of manufactures of the critical item that allows their globo-techno-fascist society to even function at all really belies their limitless self-regard.

      • Lars July 30, 2021 at 12:03 pm #

        Good point, John; no one seems to be paying attention to semiconductors. In an attack on Taiwan, China would be very careful not to damage the chip factories. Once the world sees no meaningful response from the US, The Chinese would use their North Korean proxy to threaten South Korea: no chips to the US or else! I think Seoul would accede to the demand after witnessing the capture of Taiwan. With our main sources of semi-conductors cut off, we would fold.

        What I don’t understand is why our inability to manufacture vital items such as semiconductors and pharmaceuticals is not a hot item of discussion in Congress.

          Think about this. The semiconductor world was in the US exclusively 30 years ago. I was part of it, working for Honeywell and Atmel, Our wonderful corporate America gave it to the Asians. When I worked in the industry, 1978 to 1991, I watched the beginnings of the giveaway to China by Honeywell. Our corporations are whores. The tolerance of the Deep State of the corporate shenanigans is about to bite us all in the butt.

        Like most of the big “scares” this one is mostly fake. Truth is only some (critical semiconductors) that the US and Europe depend on are produced in Taiwan and the US is still the biggest SC manufacturer/exporter. This supply chain issue can be easily resolved because the IP rights in the industry are by now all but extinct.

      Taiwan has a military, and lot’s of soldiers.

      Engaged, embattled and maybe overcome, but their will be significant losses to the Chinese military if it were to go kinetic.

          I was gonna say: Who sez they will “snatch” it violently?

          The Chinese are canny.

          They play the long game.

          They have now issued basically a Chinese Monroe Doctrine to the USA. The USA should take this seriously.
          Minds may be focused in Taiwan if they grasp that the USA is not going to defend them fromsome form of annexation to CHina.

          China is also quite resourceful in fashioning different types and levels of “annexation.”

          Once the USA “blinks,” China will have a freer hand to fashion the types of near abroad relationships it desires.

      • Blackbird July 30, 2021 at 12:03 pm #

      • Billy Hill July 30, 2021 at 1:30 pm #

        Pete — I think you read my post earlier in the week regarding Martyanov’s point of view (namely that The West has no clue what a war of survival is and will fold like a cheap suit if it goes up against a peer adversary both owing to this lack of historical/cultural memory AND, maybe more importantly, technological inferiority).

        The Pentagon war-gamed Taiwan and had its collective ass handed to it. See Byron King in Whiskey and Gunpowder:
        “It Failed Miserably” – What If the US Lost a War and Nobody Noticed?

        Remember the HMS Defender daring Russia to do something as it traversed Russian Crimean waters recently? The reply was “do it again and we will sink your ship.” This is not an idle threat.

        I predict that within the next five years or so whether the USA or England is stupid enough to dare the Chinese to do something, China will react immediately with overwhelming force — that is, they will sink a carrier. That will settle the Taiwan “issue” if it still even exists.

        World War 3 will last part of one day as there will be no response from the West. Hypersonic missiles that exist today launched from airborne platforms has negated carrier battle groups. (This writing has been on the wall since the Falklands War). The West has no answer for the S-500 missile defense. Continental warfare? Forget about it.

        Note that I am an optimist here, unlike Martyanov. As inept and disorganized as Western leadership is, I do not believe it is suicidal, and I suspect that a presidential order is still subject to numerous, disparate opportunities for override — owing precisely to that disorganization.

        • Rulo Deschamps July 30, 2021 at 2:05 pm #

          Billy Hill, I hope you’re right that the Western leadership is not suicidal. Good points about missiles.

          I remember the Falklands war well. I was a child in Argentina at the time. The Argie air force was wiping out the British fleet with just a few A4 Skyhawks and Mirages armed with Exocet missiles. Thatcher picked up the phone, told Mitterrand to stop selling us Exocets, and that was that. That nasty little war would have ended differently if Argentina had stockpiled enough Exocets.

          I think Galtieri was bluffing, and never expected the Brits to actually send a fleet.

          • Trean July 30, 2021 at 2:39 pm #

            No it really wouldn’t. Remember the Vulcan bomber raids on Port Stanley. They were to prove a point to both Mitterand and Galtieri. The Vulcan was a nuclear bomber and the UK had a good stock of the WE177. The racking for the WE177 was in storage with them and took 48 hrs to fit. Bueno Aires and Port Belgrano were listed as primary targets if Mitterand failed to stop the supply. For Thatcher losing was not an option. Our assessment at the time was that she would actually deploy them if necessary. As it happened they sank the Belgrano and that ended all Argentine naval ambitions. Which was good because by then the UK had moved 2 more Churchill class nuclear submarines into position and it would have been a turkey shoot.

          • Billy Hill July 30, 2021 at 4:04 pm #

            The story I heard — don’t recall source — was that Thatcher showed intention to go nuclear.

            “Going nuclear” is what Martyanov fears the West will do when they realize NATO forces are crumbling under combined arms fire from a determined peer adversary with superior technology (should the scenario play out in Eurasia). Even present Western leadership is not so deluded as to attempt a ground invasion of China, so the likelihood there is a miscalculation at sea.

            Along with my optimism regarding “going nuclear” is my hope that this stunning turn of events (imagine an entire US carrier battle group sunk) will catalyze a complete reset of the National Security State and a complete reset of the disaster known as US Foreign Policy.

            John Michael Greer had the same vision (sunk US carrier and aftermath) writing as the archdruid some years ago.

          • Rulo Deschamps July 30, 2021 at 6:48 pm #

            Trean, Billy, we’ll never know, but was it really feasible for a superpower to nuke a non-nuclear adversary? I mean the court of world opinion, etc.

            In any case, I remember going to evening mass w my mum in BA with a flashlight, as the city was blacked out in fear of a bombing raid.

            The Greer book you mention is Twilight’s last gleaming, I think. Very good.

          • Billy Hill July 31, 2021 at 8:57 am #

            Rulo- When has the Anglo-American Hegemon ever cared about the court of World Opinion? If one can trust polls taken worldwide the USA is considered the greatest threat to world peace. I include the vassal states in the acronym USA.

            But point well taken. If England had nuked Argentina that would only have increased the level of pathos attending a declined world power. Perhaps the fear of being pitied may save the planet. Although viewing our present leadership it appears oblivious to our economic and moral decline.

      • Exscotticus August 2, 2021 at 7:13 pm #

        The CCP could take Taiwan without much fuss. But not without destroying everything and killing a lot of Taiwanese. So far, that seems to matter to the CPP. So maybe they’re trying to figure out a way to move so fast, with so many agents provocateurs, that they seize command and control before anyone can even sound an alarm.

        To counter this, Taiwan should decentralize command and control. And show the CPP that the chip factories get blown up at the first sign of invasion.

    I was at Yahoo news today. I see Jaime Lee Curtis is announcing her sex change child.

    Its rumored the satanists must do a human sacrifice or have a sex change child [to please Moloch or whoever].

    Rumor is JLC is a lesbian and possibly a hermaphrodite. Those are just rumors.

        I am not a big follower of celebrities, but to my attention have come Brad Pitt’s daughter, Cher’s daughter, and now Jamie Lee Curtis’s daughter.

        Many Holly stars turned out to be AC-DC—and that didn’t bother me at all, as I do believe that in many cases it boosts the actor’s craft: to be able to “inhabit” whatever character, and that would include opposite-sex characters.

        Some of the AC-DC: Rock Hudson, Randolph Scott, Tab Hunter, Tony Perkins, Tallulah Bankhead, Barbara Stanwyck, and surely many others.

        Perhaps this push toward Hollywood trannyism could have been channeled in more creative thespian fashion in ways that didn’t involve actually doing under the knife and the chemo drip.

        • Wizard of the Saddle August 1, 2021 at 12:22 pm #

          I refuse to go with these phony sexual descriptors of “trans women” and “trans men.” There are men and there are women. Period. Two sexes. End of story. Mother Nature has ruled.

          As for these psychos who want to run around in drag, they have been described as transsexuals, or trannies, or cross dressers, for decades. All reasonably accurate descriptors. But this attempt to stretch a little further to imply that they actually BECOME the opposite sex because they dress in drag, takes hormone pills, wear makeup, get butchered by unethical surgeons, etc, is absolute fantasy and it is monstrous in the extreme.

          Now that they are trying to inflict these horrors on defenseless, innocent children who have not reached even the age of reason, much less adolescence, is a CRIME, and those people engaging in said activity should be arrested, prosecuted, and incarcerated for child abuse.

          This whole Trans thing is a sign of a terminally sick society. It is not funny. It is not cute. It is disgusting, repulsive, deranged, decadent, and sickening and NO ONE should tolerate it or even think of treating it as normal in any way, shape, or form.

          We are just one very short step now from these fiends pushing to normalize pedophilia. Soon, dear parents, you will be deemed HATERS, if you object to some pedo attempting to have sexual relations with your minor children. The pedo won’t go to jail. YOU will. Think on that. Sounds extreme and way “out there,” doesn’t it?

          So did “homosexual marriage” 20 years ago. Now the Supremes have made it the law of the land.

      I respect JHK and look forward to his posts every week. He usually sends me to the dictionary and I enjoy his sense of humor but I disagree with him on this one.

      it really is mastermindery.

      Watch the Ted Talk where Bill Gates talks about reducing the population of the earth using vaccines. He also states he wants to eliminate CO2 which would kill every green plant on earth – but we are not supposed to be smart enough to realize that. Indeed, many are not.

      There is no way the events that transpired and the timing of those events are coincidental. The events I refer to include repeated impeachments of the only guy with the temerity to pretend to stand up to China (before handing them the keys) the prediction by Fauci that Trump would face a pandemic, the release of the virus – in time to impact the election – that predicated the kill shot now being mandated after the farcical election and the failure of the media to report anything resembling the truth about said election…or the shot.

      Evidently people really believe it’s just a coincidence the kill shot contains Luciferase which is the bioluminescent enzyme used by Microsoft’s Quantum Dot Microneedle Vaccination Delivery System.

      Your vaccine ID will be scanned by a smart phone equipped with the right app. As Mr. Kunstler said, “you will have no rights to earn a living, go out in public, buy anything, or even protest on the street about any of these insults to human dignity.”

            Lucifer – from the Latin, “luc(i)” from lux, meaning “light” conjoined to “fer” from the verb “ferre”, meaning “to carry”. Ergo, lucifer means the “carrier of light”.

To put it in other words, they will work on the preparation of their own suicide.”

        • neurodoc July 30, 2021 at 1:24 pm #

          Not that I use wikipedia for research purposes, but here’s some language most here can understand. Luciferase is real and allows its presence to be detected via specialized light stimulation.

          ‘Luciferase – Wikipedia
          Search domain en.wikipedia.orghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luciferase
          Luciferase is a generic term for the class of oxidative enzymes that produce bioluminescence, and is usually distinguished from a photoprotein. The name was first used by Raphaël Dubois who invented the words luciferin and luciferase, for the substrate and enzyme, respectively.’

          A little more from the sight where your lab can purchase it.

          luciferase…….’serving as reporter genes for many of the same applications as fluorescent proteins.’

        You’ve summed things up well.

        My thinking about the book of Revelation is that (except for the Second Coming) it describes the way civilizations collapse. Since these events have occurred hundreds of times throughout history, Revelation is mostly descriptive of cyclical events. This is why, when you tell someone who knows their theology and history that you think something in Revelation refers to something currently in the works, they reply, “No, that already happened in 200 A.D.” This stuff is an ever-repeating cycle.

        However, the corruption and collapse of civilizations has hitherto been a local phenomenon. Tadmor, Persepolis, Luxor, Baalbek, and even the Roman Empire could go down the tubes unnoticed by most of the rest of the world.

        We’ve never before had a worldwide collapse. So maybe this really is The Big One, in which the Book of Revelation is played to completion.

        Things are shaping up in ways that would have been unimaginable to me, even a couple of years ago.

        I am religious, if a bit heterodox. If this is, so to speak, the final curtain, the issue for us as private individuals is not so much whether we ought to “organize” or “revolt” or “secede,” etc. The issue is that we must choose good over evil–as demonstrated by our actions within our particular sphere. Since I don’t have much of a sphere, any such demonstrations as I might make will be largely invisible–though I think all such things are consequential.

        Awhile back, a theologian that I greatly respect said that, “The time for choosing is over.” I don’t know about that, but maybe everyone has already made their choice.

        • Islander July 31, 2021 at 9:16 am #

          Anthea,

          I tend to agree with you. Although I am not a reader of the Bible.

          But every social crisis demands a personal response and account taking.

          I have just read the memoir of Joachim Fest, “Not I.” (Of interest to me because my mother was in effect a political refugee from the Third Reich, although she was unaware of how she had transgressed.) It is largely about his father, Johannes Fest, who never bowed to the Nazi Party (despite continual blandishments, including from his wife) or gave an inch to the Nazi program for the Third Reich, and he raised his children in similar vein. They were Catholics. He and his family paid a high price for being political dissenters. But they did survive the war—also morally in one piece.

          The Fest family motto was
          Etiam si omnes, ego non: “Even if all others [do it]–NOT I.

          That works for me.

          Very thoughtful reply.

          While I don’t consider myself religious, I have to agree with you that Revelations must have been borne out of knowledge of how civilizations collapsed.

          And then I wonder how much the people who are orchestrating this collapse purposefully use biblical references, just to mess with us or to terrorize the religious.

        • Rulo Deschamps July 31, 2021 at 4:38 pm #

    China is after Taiwan? Then what, they are going to settle onto their haunches and watch the world go by?

    Next, through the Silk Road, Afghanistan, Iran and the Middle East. Then, onto Africa, already under way, and the rest of East Asia. Special targets by China and its cohort, NOKO, their former oppressor from WW2, Japan. What sweet revenge that would be. SOKO would just fall by the wayside. Influence and direct intervention could be used.

    Question is, who can stop them? The USA, the world’s protector? What a joke, Ol’ Joe will be handing them the keys to world conquest and taking his 10%.

    Russia, maybe? Not enough strength there as they watch the Chinese juggernaut sail by. Maybe the last regime to try. Russia might try to protect Europe as its main customer.

    Not looking good, but step one is Taiwan to see if intimidation will work.

          I feel sorry for them. That they, in their dogmatism and self-righteousness, have lost all sense of courtesy, respect, everything. Manners.

      Give it a rest, China has a millennia long history of not bothering much about the rest of the world.
      Just imagine what life for Americans would be like if they organized their society in that way.

      The Z-Man perfectly summed up the American Malaise since WWII

      “.. the moral assertion at the core. That assumption is that it is inherently immoral for European societies to organize themselves in the best interest of the people who make up the society.”

      And who, we ask, has succeeded in making that assertion?

    I too dont subscribe to the theory that cartoonish evil masterminds are orchestrating the collapse.

    However, that isnt to say that the modern left is performing ths same function. This is the 3rd way, rather than just playing the parts of ineffectual of leadership.

    There is a deep seated malevolence among certain groups that is being exploited by those with a specific agenda.

    Ive always contended its fairly straightforward to join any of these groups. Whether climate, justice, equality, etc, one can bring their particular grievance or objective to the table.

    Its only because of the inevitable erosion of social cohesion combined with resource constraints that makes these movements possible.

    the fall of egypt, rome and countless other empires, all followed similar arcs – We are no different. Like an aging body, our cells (institutions) continue to imperfectly replicate, eventually causing terminal conditions.

    Its ok really, it was always going to happen. Whats important is to recognize what is ocurring now, and make moves for self preservation.

    First and foremost is to reject every pronouncement and directive as false. Government at this stage only represents maintaining its own control and order.

    Thats cool too. Let them do their thing by staying out of the way. avoid, dont confront.

    • jlmartin July 30, 2021 at 2:14 pm #

      So should we think of the Flood story as representing a reset from our ancient pass?

      Letting them do their thing is not an altogether optimum strategy.

      Avoiding confrontation is good advice, but sooner or later one comes to the point of having to stand one’s ground, and it’s preferable to take intervening steps to avoid that outcome while there’s still a chance of avoiding a hail o’ bullets.

      Again:

      Ignore (the stupid stuff, e.g., media, politicians)

      Denounce (masks, distancing, injections, rigged elections, i.e., do not comply whatsoever)

      Boycott (any business or institution deserving of denouncement, forever after if you can hold a grudge)

      Relocate (if things get unliveable or dangerous)

      Stand Your Ground (we all have go sometime, might as well do so on a high note and with good reason)

      Almost as if they’re moving in…lockstep…just like the title of the Rockefeller plan that is a publicly available PDF.

      • Islander July 30, 2021 at 10:43 pm #

        “Almost as if they’re moving in…lockstep…just like the title of the Rockefeller plan that is a publicly available PDF.”

        Lockstep—this is actually quite a good translation for Gleichschaltung.

        When was the Rockefeller Lockstep document written?
        Pre- or postwar?

        There has never been a avery good translation of “Gleichschaltung” in English. Most have settled on “coordination”; others have proposed “rationalization.” It’s one of those German words that really resists translation but is so trenchant that it should just be taken over into English as is (like Weltanschauung, Schadenfreude, and some others).

        If you break it down, Gleichschaltung means “switching [schalten] everything to be the same/consistent/equal [gleich].” “Switching” implies a quick process. A top-down process. And that is how it played out. All social structures had to be and were “switched to”—taken over by—the Nazi party. There were no more independent or autonomous organizations, no more civil society (the military retained a certain amount of independence, although a parallel Party military was also created).

        But purely from a point of view of the spirit of Gleichschaltung, and the effect, lockstep is a pretty good approximation.

        Via the current Lockstep/Gleichschaltung operation, the covid panic is being used to control everyone and virtually every organization. It is a top-down operation whereby local “leaders” are enlisted to enforce locally. It has happened within a year. The gains of the past year are being consolidated via the jabs. This Gleichschatung 2.0 is more or less worldwide, whereas the original Gleichschaltung was just within Germany and the countries it occupied.

        • thirdcoastlegend July 30, 2021 at 11:43 pm #

          I believe the Rockefeller Lockstep document was published for a symposium held in 2010 or 2011.

      The vaguery of the daily public playcalling and contradiction is enough to make anyone’s head spin. They knew this. This is not by chance. Random chance comes into play each day, but like a Vegas floor, they know the odds are in their favor and they just have to ride out the day until it’s time to count the stacks. They know they will have more than the players.

      Simple as that.

          The blatant race pandering in advertising is becoming noticeable. However, it is not without its downside.

          With sustained pandering, some meaningful part of their client base will begin to sense they are no longer the typical customer of that business, i.e., they don’t see themselves as typical customers and the business doesn’t see them as typical customers either. It’s mostly subconscious, but it will have it’s effects nonetheless because it strongly clashes with actual demographics, especially when carried out unthinkingly on a national scale.

          Critics will automatically respond that only a racist would quit supporting a business using these pandering tactics, even subconsciously, but of course race pandering is, itself, racist.

          • Islander July 30, 2021 at 10:57 pm #

            Kappa Joe:
            Really noticeable for a while now in the L.L. Bean catalogue.

            Which is funny because I think L.L. Bean is the go-to for middle-class whites who aspire to a kind of Ralph Lauren image of the outdoor Yankee life style in Maine. Are they American blacks who also have these aspirations or fantasies? Most blacks I see around here dress much more flashily than the typical L.L. Bean look.

            I wonder what market studies show.
            L.L. Bean is a phenomenally astute marketing outfit.

            It would be interesting to find out whether the “diverse” catalogue look is to appeal directly to a “diverse” buying universe or merely to virtue-signal to their traditional customer base.

            I well recall the L.L. Bean of the fifties, and their catalogues. My father would order a new pinkish denim work jacket from them every two or three years.

      We can speculate till the end of time whether it was all planned or not. It’s actually irrelevant, because it’s happening anyway. And yes, we now face the intended and unintended consequences. I’ve just finished reading a few books about how Europe lurched into WW1. Most of the diplomats, pols and military types were pretty genius people, but none of them had any idea what unintended consequences were heading their way. Let’s hope it’s the same for Gates, Soros and co.

        Excellent. No real “lurching” involved, but a plan to sideline Germany as a competitor to Britain.

        • Hereward the Woke July 31, 2021 at 5:07 am #

          Islander. No, I haven’t read that one, but will get it. I sense the Brits were deeply concerned in the early 1900s not just be Germany’s flexing military muscles, but also by their incredible economic progress, so your theory doesn’t seem too crazy. BTW, even though it’s an old book now, I still find Barbara Tuchman’s “The Guns of August” the go-to book. She captures the tension and brinkmanship amazingly well. Let’s hope a few of the crazies planning WW3 read some of these books and learn something.

            Churchill was the prime motivator to get the Great War going.

            Remember he was Lord of the Admiralty or whatever the limeys call it.

            They were not going to let Germany complete the Baghdad Express, not to mention train the Turkish officer corps.

            Remember Gallipoli.

            The Brits promised Russia the Bosporus.

            Etc. etc.

            Only Hitler could (sort of) make Churchill look good.

            Plus Churchill was a pretty good writer so he could make himself look good.

      There is a strategy there, to make the military ‘woke’ and fill it with authoritarian, nonthinking idiots. They hate the hoi polloi unlike traditional soldiers. They, like the kids in college, are now taught that white people are evil, so there goes the military’s empathy for the civilians.

      This is clearly orchestrated. They can’t have a military that refuses to turn on its own citizens.

          After the pain in your fingers and knees persists, you will notice that your energy level is progressively poor. Then your wife and/or friends might start asking if you’re OK. You will notice that your word finding is problematic and you start worrying about your cognitive functions. Then you will have on/off hot flashes from intermittent, soon to become permanent hyper-inflammation. Then the joint pain gets much worse and breaks thru OTC agent such as ibuprofen.

        Easy way to solve this. Massive slashes to defense appropriations leading to mass shrinkage of the standing military. Standing armies are always a threat to liberty. Let the States re-organize the old State Militias comprised of their adult male citizens and let’s shrink the federal military down to a minuscule size – pre-Civil War style. The Founders would approve. We really cannot afford a large standing military any longer. Nobody can, outside of China, maybe, and even their military is tiny, compared to their total population.

  20. MaryQueen July 30, 2021 at 10:57 am #

    Another excellent article today, James! Thank you. The last paragraph sums it up – we’re spinning into pandemonium. They will not be able to keep the lid on the epic number of those injured or killed by the jabs, and then the coming shortages are going to compound matters immensely.

    “His (Fauci’s) reputation is shot and he could end his days in an orange jump suit doing Chinese fire drills up and down the exercise court at Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary.”

    If only we still had rule of law, then I would expect this to happen. I don’t see any way out of this unless people rise up and take back our courts, and eject the WEF controlled cyphers that have been strategically placed in high positions.

    I may be lean more toward your first scenario, where the PTB know exactly what they are doing and had a plan in place, obvious fuck-ups aside. Some have foreseen this for decades, meaning we’ve been slogging toward it for some time, so, strategically engineered. But yes, there are big gaps in ‘the plan’ and lack of consistency of message. Perhaps, then, I see it as somewhere in between your two scenarios.

    I guess at this point, maybe it doesn’t matter? We’re left to try to deal with things as they are.

    Ditto for Nancy “Let them Eat Ice Cream” Pelosi, mafia boss of the country. I doubt she’ll see jail time even though she deserves nothing less. She and Jo Jo Magoo together look like a pair of drunks, what with the slurring and stumbling about. This is the best our country could do? I guess when the deep state runs things, yes.

      The whole point of CFN was that there was some big upset coming, a “Great Reset”, if you will, but tied to oil depletion.

      I was always of the mind that the fake 1913 money system would eventually freeze up with no solution and the markets would size up and there would be much wailing and gnashing of teeth, though energy (coal at least in the US) would continue. I was also hoping this wouldn’t happen for at least a couple more decades, but in reality it’s already long overdue.

        This has been incredibly engineered down to the smallest detail.

          The man was from the greatest generation that sacrificed everything during WW2.

          What a totally sad place this country has become, with a Delaware crook as president, a Blackish bitch as VP, a mafia queen as Speaker and all representing a gimme populace that cannot hold a candle to its predecessors.

            I was in, like, the third grade when JFK was murdered. Even at that age, it stunk to high heaven and I didn’t believe a word of it, especially after the putative perp was offed.

            As much blame is to be assigned to the current generation, I point the finger at those adults alive in 1913, which is the genesis of all that has come down since. Charles Lindbergh’s father (in the US House) tried mightily to point out the dangers, but it was of no avail, as the country was already thoroughly corrupt at that time.

            Even to this day, as I occasionally explain to acquaintances exactly how and why the monetary system is ultimately unsustainable, I get blank stares, as if I were talking to a dog.

    The bankruptcy of the west is not a background event. It’s the main show. COVID is merely cover and will take the blame for 100 years of central banking and the debt fueled orgy it enabled. That’s where this is going. I wonder what fancy name the media trolls will pin on it. Greater Depression? Depression 2.0? Beats me. Out the other end comes the six or seven nations of America. And those smug bastards up in Canuckistan are not exempt either, Alberta and Saskatchewan and maybe Manitoba will join the Northern Plains states and create a fine little country with lots of oil and tillable soil in the back of beyond. Landlocked, sure, but trading with other countries is not the future. The future is keeping your own peopley warm, fed and happy while the Enlightened and strangely queer West burns to the ground.

      Wondering if the debt question even matters anymore.

      The same people we owe are the people making the calls. So what difference would it make to keep printing and imploding the value of the dollar if it can be eternally propped up via digital means?

      The system used to have rules. But if the umpires and the owners are actually playing in the game, there is no need for comeuppance.

          It used to be the market actually had consequences. Now I think it is only by executive choice to have a winning or losing economy. There is no real accountability anymore.

        Mr Mango, good points. It does look like they can keep it going forever. Just create more $.

        But JHK talks about reality asserting itself at some point. Things will go on until they can’t anymore, something along those lines.

          They’ll keep it going as a means of consolidating power and control. As the real economy continues to collapse and we become even more dependent on the government we’ll start to see the true austerity measures come to fruition. Not to save the economy, but to lock us into perpetual dependency and destitution. Thanks to C19, we’ll all have digital IDs and all currencies will be digital. Then, there’s no way out.

            Thanks HtW and Mr. Mango. I recently divorced my significant other. It was difficult, but the right thing to do. However, the choice to go back to my birth name (Bolsogna) was not an easy decision. Being a true lover of golf, it was incredibly difficult to change from Balszac to Bolsogna. My ex (Fuzzy Balszac) was a real control freak, and I have some genuine hatred for the person. However, the Balszac name will always be associated with golf lore due to Teddy Balszac’s invention of the warming flask. A milestone in golf! When I think about teeing off with a case of Coors Light and a pound of ice stashed deep within my golf bag, I can think of nothing other than how sincerely grateful I am for Teddy and his revolutionary vision for the true mission of golf. But despite this deep connection I have with Teddy, I couldn’t give a shite for Fuzzy. Therefore, Harry Balszac is no more. I stand here today, proud to say that I am, the one and only Harry Bolsogna! Cheers!

Can they create more fossil fuels to remediate this situation via fertilizers and pesticides? Can they create drinking water? Bring back extinct species? Get rid of the megatons of trash and pollution?

      Your model, IMHO, petrifies the East coast centered Deep State. The Red Zone controls just about all the natural resources in the country and the transportation hubs to move it around. Join the Red zone of Canada with the Red zone of the US, and a formidable new nation would arise. The East coast would be a vassal state in a fortnight.

    “Their narrative goes like this: humans have over-replicated, like maggots in a trash can, they’re wrecking the planet and gobbling (our) resources, and we must find a way to get rid of them that looks like a natural catastrophe so the hidden powers-that-be-don’t get blamed for pulling a global Auschwitz. Hence Covid-19 and the sketchy vaccinations.”

    The second part of the narrative, the part following “and,” is absolutely deplorable, if true, which I doubt. However, can’t we at least all agree on the first part. Humanity has indeed pretty much wrecked the planet for itself and the other living things we share it with.

        • KappaJoe July 30, 2021 at 10:10 pm #

          This exception trips up lots of people up. One needs to use the nominative case whenever any form of the verb “to be” is used and a pronoun object is involved. So, Mary is correct.

          “Who is [a form of the verb ‘to be’] calling?”

          “It is I.” – not “It is me,” though this is commonly heard.

          Another easy way to fix this, as any form of the verb “to be” signals an identity, is to reverse the sentence to see if it comes out sounding correct:

          “That would not be you and I” becomes “You and I would not be that,” which sounds perfectly fine as opposed to “You and me would not be that,” which is and sounds incorrect, as does “Me is it” when reversing “It is me.”

            I am always a little irritated by people who correct others’ grammar without knowing what the hell they’re talking about.

            You also run into people who firmly believe that certain practices (such as the Oxford comma, or not) are rules, when they are actually matters of style.

            I just want to strangle them.

        • Anthea July 31, 2021 at 3:36 am #

          Mary Queen is correct in this instance. Where the verb is a “to be” verb, the sentence, “That would not be you or I,” is analgous to the sentence, “It is I.” Or, for another example, when one is answering the phone, the correct way to answer is to say, “This is she”–“It’s me.”

          “I” in this instance is a predicate nominative. The predicate nominative is one and the same as the subject (in this case “that”). Hence it is correct to use the subjective rather than the objective case.

          • Anthea July 31, 2021 at 3:38 am #

            I meant to say that the correct way to answer is to say, “This is she”–NOT “It’s me.”

      Quantum, spot on. The Earth could support a human population even bigger than our current numbers. A population of Buddhist monks, of poor peasants, of poor people generally, voluntary poor, forced poor.

      Rice and beans, very little meat, no car, no AC, no smartphone, etc.

      Cannot sustain current levels at current consumption. No way, no how.

      Mr Mango, the day before the hurricane, everything looks fine. In the midst of the hurricane, everything is fine for a while too, while the eye travels above you. That doesn’t mean there’s no hurricane.

      “Not my problem that I exist” – that’s the crux of the moral dilemma. As Quantum says, and I second, nobody has a right to decide who can and cannot go on existing.

      My grim vision is that we failed to control both our numbers and our consumption. I mean us humans, not us Americans. If either vector had been brought under control rationally, resource depletion would not be a problem.

      Maybe some truly smart and truly evil people had to, or will have to, decide for us. That would explain a lot of what we’re seeing.

      • Slugoon July 30, 2021 at 6:04 pm #

        Rulo, the lesson I take from the natural world is that organisms always tend just above the food supply and as such they constantly live on the edge of starvation. Death is a necessary part of maintaining a climax ecosystem where everything is in balance.

        For humans, the energy windfall of fossil fuels has temporarily removed these natural limits and what that means is that we have substantially overshot the carrying capacity. We now have much further to fall than we otherwise would have. It’s not necessarily food that we are short of but could be peak anything: fresh water, raw materials, the ability of the environment to absorb waste, societal collapse…

        What I think is going on, and I’ve said these here a number of times before, is that TPTB, whoever they are, understand this and what they are trying to do is to manage the down side of the curve. To do this they need (a) absolute control over the global population, and (b) to erase nation states / nationalism to prevent a game of ‘last man standing’ and usher in a cooperative ‘powerdown’ instead.

        Both (a) and (b) are happening and it’s no coincidence that global NGOs are at the heart of it along with those with a messiah complex such as Gates, Soros etc.

        As thirdcoast alludes to further below, what’s worse, the hellish one-world authoritarian dystopia of such a world run by these megalomaniacs (cooperative powerdown), or how nature deals with such things (last man standing)?

        • Rulo Deschamps July 30, 2021 at 9:09 pm #

          Slug, I agree with your whole comment. I see things the same way. Managing the powerdown before Nature does. It explains a lot of what’s going on, doesn’t it. I’ve come to the same conclusions myself. I want to dwell a bit on something you said. “Death is a necessary part of maintaining a climax ecosystem where everything is in balance.”

          First: mankind has placed itself above and beyond mere ecosystems. We think carrying capacity doesn’t apply to us, because we’re God’s children. God has told us, his favorite creations, to do with Nature as we will, because we are her masters. About 300 years ago, God was replaced with reason, with human rights, with science, but the message is still the same. We’re not really part of Nature. Her rules don’t apply to us. She’s our servant.

          Second: a corollary of the above is that it is verboten, anathema, to refer to humans as animals. Because we have God, and science, etc. However, this is wrong, this reticence. We are highly evolved primates. We are certainly at the very top of the food chain and champions of the brainpower Olympics in the third planet from the sun, no doubt. Yet we’re born, we feed, we excrete, we react to stimuli and instincts, we suffer and we die just like animals. Let’s state it here, clearly, and duck and cover as the bricks from the God people and the Science people start flying in our direction: we are animals.

          Third, we may be the smartest animals here, but not smart enough. Let me put it this way. I’ve been watching a nest of blue herons last spring. Both parents built the nest. Mum sat on the eggs, dad brought food. 3 chicks were born. Dad was making all these trips, but the food wasn’t enough. That’s how an ecosystem works. Other years, all 3 chicks would have made it, but this year, mum pushed one of the chicks out of the nest one night. It fell from very high up a ceiba tree and probably broke some bones on impact, but it was still alive when I arrived to check the nest in the morning. Alive but being eaten alive by fire ants. I helped it to a quicker death. You read in RL Stevenson, or was it Jack London, how the Inuit elders chose to stay behind and freeze. To facilitate the survival of the others. Perhaps the original peoples were more in touch with our animal side, understood ecosystems better.

          Fourth, science and religion both share the same Promethean fight against death. Human death, mind, not the death of the planet, or the last great oceanic fish, or the last tigers, or the last rainforests, or anything other than US. US, the reason the universe exists, US, the favorites of God, US, US, US.

          Fifth, so noble, the fight against death. Hm, I have to tread carefully here. Reading comprehension is limited sometimes, even in a high IQ forum like this. In simple terms: the green revolution of the 60’s, which created GMO cultivars resistant to blight, chemical fertilizers and effective pesticides so that millions of 3rd world denizens didn’t have to starve to death as they had for millenia… breakthroughs in medicine and vaccines development, polio, malaria, etc, finally controlled and defeated… end result: mothers who always had had 12 children in hopes of 3 surviving to support them in their old age, now had 10 survivors. Selling chewing gum in street corners, being harvested for organs exported to wealthy countries, scrapping a living in prostitution or petty crime, miserable, hellish existences. From denying death her due. Covid, covid, grandma, grandma will die, she’s only 100, stop the presses, stop the world, cancel freedom, grandma may die! Just want to say, death wants her due, as it’s natural, as she’s entitled. They are talking transhumanism now, live forever, upload your mind to a computer. Why? What for? Was Gilgamesh happy? All traditional cultures respect death. Kali, Santa Muerte. Death is so necessary, so natural, so… peaceful.

          Sixth: remove death from the equation in, say, a group of lab mice. Give them a long life, plenty of food, let them propagate at will. Then cut the food. The mice will eat each other. We are the mice. The food is about to be cut. The Earth is reaching her limits. Nothing is replenishing anymore. Everything is choked up with plastic, chemical residues, water and topsoils disappearing. Yet we keep breeding, oblivious. Nature bats last and will put an end to it. Death is part, a big part, of Nature. Death has to be embraced, accepted and even celebrated. Viva la Muerte!, the war cry of the Spanish Civil War, will be heard again. If we had been as smart as we thought we were, we wouldn’t be here. If we had accepted we are just another animal, living in a finite planet, accepting our limits, we wouldn’t be here. But I have little doubt that we will. In fact, that we already are. Viva la Muerte is our whole culture right now.

            You make a well-reasoned argument based on the premise of scarcity, but I can’t readily buy it, for two reasons:

            1) The big game is the collapse of the monetary ponzi. Resource/population issues are a power-grabbing side show. There are sustainability issues, truly, but there are also many, many solutions far, far short sudden of planetary genocide.

            2) If what you’ve imparted were the case, why go about it in such an underhanded, profiteering, ham-handed, power-grubbing, and secretive way. Why not just assemble the three remaining uncorrupted scientists and say,

            “We’ve run the numbers (twice!) and we’re heading into irreversible overshoot. Nothing will be forced, no one will be euthanized or injected without their consent. However, we recommend the following: a smaller energy footprint, a house scaled to your actual needs, no mindless travel and motoring, home gardens, reuse of all items where possible, repair of all items where possible, doing without unnecessary items, elimination of junk food and its toxic packaging, and, if possible, smaller families.”

            I doubt one in ten would find this proposal offensive and be more than willing to help. Instead we get line up and die or else (and in that, case, one seriously has to wonder what the “or else” could possibly be).

            Eugenics is staring to look better and better, right? A focus on the positive but not neglecting the negative. Strong borders to keep out the lower humans, lesser breeds outside the Law.

            We had a stable population in 1960 of about 220 million, 90% White. And then we let the Enemy destroy us.

          • Slugoon July 31, 2021 at 1:44 am #

            For Kappa, monetary ponzi is just another component in the systems supporting overshoot. The global financial system and resource/population issues are intertwined. If or when it collapses it will have the same consequences as a crop failure.

            Regarding your second point, do you think that people would voluntarily sell all their possessions and go back to mud huts and live an ascetic existence if a few scientists asked them nicely? I don’t think we will ever exercise self-limitation. It is not how things are done in nature. Animals don’t do it, and neither will we. I’m sure almost everyone would think your proposal was a nice idea. I’m also sure almost no one would actually do it voluntarily. Nature will force our hand.

            For Rulo, you are my kindred spirit sometimes. I agree, if we could look beyond our hubris and accept that we are just another mammal on the planet and subject to the same inviolable laws as everything else we would be better off. Maybe not materially but as a society. I’ve never viewed death as a taboo subject. All I ask is to depart as quickly and painlessly as possible when the Reaper comes knocking!

            The planet will be fine.

            In the US, much of our over-consumption is forced upon us. Small houses are against building codes. You are forced into commuting because the cities are unliveable. Building codes often require an extensive acreage to be allowed to build a home–and said home is required to be huge. Codes will likely also prohibit you from using building materials that are inexpensive and readily available, such as straw bale. Codes are also designed to prevent you from building your own house.

            Housing could easily be cheap. Automobiles could also easily be cheap, if they were made without endless bells and whistles that have largely been forced upon us.

            The education of children (and college kids) does not require immense and expensive facilities.

            I think much of this boils down to making everything more costly, for the purpose of forcing the buyer into the hands of lenders.

            Leave people the hell alone and many of them would choose to build a small house on one or two acres, drive a reliable car similar to a ’55 Chevy or old VW, and grow a garden and raise a little livestock. Or–were it possible–they might choose to live in modest homes or apartments in the city.

            In the 1970s, most cities had vast amounts of inexpensive housing, and much of it was in safe neighborhoods with convenient public transportation. Most of it has been torn down, and those old neighborhoods are no longer safe–though I suppose the buses still run.

            Up until about 1965, a middle-class family could live in the city in a house comparable to a suburban home, in a safe and stable community, and send their kids to fine public schools. The migration to the suburbs was the result of force, not preference.

          • hmuller July 31, 2021 at 6:16 pm #

            Thank you, Rulo, Slugoon, et al. for some excellent ideas. It does seem that multiple threats are converging towards a massive human die-off.

            A financial collapse alone would bring on a cataclysm of depopulation. But on top of that we have natural climate change via solar cycles, Has anyone noticed the floods in China and elsewhere threatening food supply? Other places are experiencing droughts and wildfires.

            Our answer to less food production seems to be – print more money and pass it out so everybody can buy food. Let me know how that works out.

            IMHO, geoengineering (chem trails, HAARP, et al.) is to blame for much of the extreme weather.

            Pollution and waste is piling up, the oceans are filling with plastic, while the top soil is eroding. Fukushima can’t stop filling the Pacific with irradiated water.

            Worldwide agriculture depends on non-renewable petroleum to fuel machinery and provide components for pesticides, herbicides, fertilizer.

            Who knows what microbes sent by God or Dr Fauci have yet to make their impact felt on human mortality.

            I can see why many people cling to the belief that Jesus or friendly aliens will ride in and save us at the last minute.

          • Rulo Deschamps August 1, 2021 at 4:59 pm #

            Kappa, it’s the other way around. The real deal is overpopulation & resource depletion. Financial shenanigans are a side show. Base and superstructure, to borrow from Marxist thought and loosely use these categories to make sense of what’s what. Roughly, base would be the productive activity, superstructure the intellectual scaffolding built on it: culture, politics, and yes, finance. Productive activity, in turn, is based on resources: energy, minerals, soils, water, etc. It follows that a base crumbling because resources are running out in turn destroys the foundation of the superstructure.

            hmuller says “A financial collapse alone would bring on a cataclysm of depopulation”, and I agree. Because $ is what’s priming the pump of resource extraction. Take fossil fuels and EROEI. JHK has been writing for years about the fracking business, only possible by debt (free $) as it is not viable when you consider the investment necessary to extract the resource. This is true across the base. Agriculture: massive subsidies (again, free $) as the only way to eke out another crop out of exhausted soils, via fertilizers/pesticides/fossil fuels. Seafood: subcontracting extraction so most of it has not been sustainably harvested, despite what the packaging may say. He also mentions natural causes that would impact the base directly. A worldwide depression would be lethal, but as hmuller says, depletion, climate issues would also trigger shortages. So, base and superstructure are both highly vulnerable.

            As for respected scientists warning the world, it’s been happening for decades. Crickets, mostly.

            Yoho, eugenics has been greatly misunderstood. It does pose complex moral questions, but it passes the test I care most about: it’s not about eliminating anyone alive now, but limiting reproduction. So I agree with your comment, in general. I’m sure if we were to discuss it in detail, we’d have differences, though.

            Anthea, very good observations, agreed. I’ve been applying much of what you mention in my own life for years, going around stupid regulations about what is and isn’t a “home” by converting sheds into living quarters, building microhomes. It’s all about the land. Once you have enough of it, you build, you use recycled materials, sustainable practices, etc, in your own ag zoned land. You can also tow in a trailer or camper and make it permanent. You add structures as necessary, barns, outdoor kitchens and whatnot, but all you really need is a place to safely sleep out of the elements, and a functioning outhouse & shower. Very hard for the majority to escape zoning and coding, especially in the suburbs, where having a clothesline or a few laying hens (not even a rooster!), or the lawn ripped to plant gardens, will get you in trouble… in most cases, caused by neighbors complaining to the authorities. The only way to escape that is to go back to the land in some way, not necessarily own it but away from petty dictators, or go nomadic, as many Americans are doing now, living in RV’s. Very accurate comments, thank you.

            hmuller says it very well: “Pollution and waste is piling up, the oceans are filling with plastic, while the top soil is eroding. Fukushima can’t stop filling the Pacific with irradiated water.
            Worldwide agriculture depends on non-renewable petroleum to fuel machinery and provide components for pesticides, herbicides, fertilizer.”

            Sad but true. Cornucopians may be convinced the Earth is infinite and can absorb the cancer called humans out of control (that’s how we look from space… a cancer spreading on the surface of the planet). “The Earth will keep giving, and absorbing our waste, forever” I don’t think so. Time will tell.

            I think it’s all a big show. Much like everything else. There are resources to be had. We have them. No one is driving less, no one is heating/cooling their home less, no one gives a shit. And the resources are still there.

            More and more, every day. I think it’s like the money supply. Endless, if those with their hands on the levers make it so.

        • Rulo Deschamps July 30, 2021 at 9:44 pm #

          $ supply equals resources, then? I’d posit the opposite. Abundant $ ensures resources get depleted faster. When tuna fish at the fish market in Tokyo get bids for over $1M apiece before the boat docks and unloads, tuna fish will be extinct faster.

      While deplorable, what follows “and” in that sentence is completely logical, and from appearances, there is no lack of will among our overlords to carry it out.

    Some people are just learning that this vaccine isn’t what we commonly think of when we use the term.

    They really thought that getting vaccinated meant you weren’t going to be able to get COVID, or infect anyone else with it.

    Even people who write on this topic in the media, didn’t seem to know this.

    People who use the argument that colleges requiring this shot isn’t any different than requiring a measles shot are wrong.

    It won’t stop you from getting or transmitting an infection, and it never was going to.

    Besides, it still remains illegal to try to coerce someone to get an experimental vaccine, despite what the DOJ says. They do not have the power to nullify existing law.

My feelings on whether it is just a bad flu or the next step on the virus’ conquering of humanity, it needs to be addressed and put down. We need to learn to stop them before they stop us.

            “There are a lot of folks however showing up right now that have caught the Delta version and stating they wish they had taken the vaccine.”

            The good news is that you can make those folks feel a lot better by informing them that their immune systems are actually in better shape for not having taken the jab. That large percentages of those catching the Delta are the jabbed; that it is quite likely that the jabbed with Delta caught it from other jabbed.

            You can also make these folks feel better by letting them know that there are effective treatments, the earlier they get treatment the better, and informing them where to get info on treatment protocols.

            For example, this:

            I believed the global warming narrative for many years. I think the main reason was because there were so many years of extreme heat (in my part of the US) between the late seventies and throughout the eighties. That, together with constant bombardment by “the narrative” and my own failure to really look into it, had me convinced.

            Believers in the covid narrative cannot claim that personal experience supports their belief, since the whole thing is manifestly a nothingburger. I think the main reason they are so succeptible to “the narrative” is that they are not grounded in objective reality and live their lives almost entirely through media. Almost all the “true believers” I know are people who had rarely left the house for many years prior to the “pandemic,” and almost all of their supposed “contact” with the real world was the TV. So…mostly older if not elderly, older stay-at-home housewives who rarely got out, some people with serious health issues who were easily frightened, and a couple of people who had been self-quarantining for a couple of years already, due to pre-existing health issues: people who had been living very narrow and constrained lives for many years before covid. I suspect the same is true of the younger “believers.” I don’t know any of them, but I suspect they are unemployed and rarely leave the house. All the younger people who have jobs and lives (and I do know some of them) are disgusted by masking and other covid restrictions.

            One other motive for this blind belief is, I think, a deep desire for some kind apocalyptic scenario, for TEOTWAWKI. This comes from a deep disgust and horror of the world as it is. So there is an element of wishful thinking involved in such beliefs.

      • Ricechex July 30, 2021 at 4:57 pm #

        Yes. I have noticed a plethora of stories, sometimes even 2 stories in one 30 minute local news broadcasts:

        Here is the narrative:

        1) So and so was an anti vaxxer, against the vaccine, see twitter post.

        2) So and so got sick//ventilator/ hospital–went on for months.

        3) Interviews with family who provide testimonials how concerned they were and how traumatic this was.

        3) So and so begged for the vaccine but it was too late.

        3) Random DR proclaims it was an unnecessary and preventable sickness.

        4) DR proclaims that hospitals are filling up with unvaccinated

        4) So and so tells everyone to not be stupid like he/she but to get the vaccine. (The “I told you so” moral of the story)

        Clearly, attempts to coerce, manipulate and shame.

        Does anyone believe this crap? These are stories for 10 year olds. Do they think we are that stupid that unvaccinated people actually buy this?

          The TV is not a mirror, either. It pretends it is a mirror, but it represents only a small sliver of public opinion, and that small sliver is paid very well to do that pretending.

          They do expand the sliver, but it takes a long time and a ton of hot air to get there. Then it all evaporates with the next shiny object.

        Sadly, this works on morons, which comprises most of society. I include PhDs in that descriptor as well. They seem to fall for it faster than anyone else.

        I have family in this academic category. Smart as all get out. But after a four day visit (with no masks) this past week, his last words to me were “Be careful out there and take care of yourselves. It’s dangerous right now.”

        Okay. After we just shared Thai food from the same counter in the same room, rode in the same car unmasked, picnicked at the fucking zoo and the neighborhood playground/splashpad, and our kids shared boogers for four days.

        But yes, let’s all be careful, because it’s dangerous out there. Love them, but the illogical disconnect is stunning.

        I nodded and said nothing about it to them, wished them a good trip home. Not worth it.

    On another note, I took an unexpected road trip to Mobile, AL. My flight was cancelled because they drove something into the nose of the plane where lots of delicate equipment lives. Thanks American Airlines – you folks are too stupid for words. Here are my observations:

    1. Wow – Lots of folks smoke in the South.
    2. Ten to fifteen miles per hour over the speed limit is the minimum. Very little enforcement anywhere. I love the little cars that go 90+ miles per hour up to the next car in the lane, slam on their brakes, squeeze by the lead car in an unsafe manner and then floor it to the next car. Obviously, these are not students of physics.
    3. There is a car carrier terrorist loose on I-85. He flashed his lights at me to move over although the lane on my left was free and clear. I had no where to go. Later, I moved over and he proceeded to blow his horn at the car in front of me with no effect. Later, I passed him and he moved over behind my car with about two feet to spare. I decided to risk a ticket and left that equal opportunity hater behind. Someone needs a new line of work.
    4. Atlanta has epic rush hour traffic even when it is not rush hour.
    5. I get to do it all over again next weekend. (Sigh).

    • MaryQueen July 30, 2021 at 11:40 am #

    • cowbell81 July 30, 2021 at 11:43 am #

      Maybe traffic will be a little better for you going in the opposite direction? My suggestion would be stick to back roads as much as possible, ones you can still move quick enough on.

      If you ever need to travel anywhere between Nashville and New Orleans I highly recommend taking the Natchez Trace Parkway. It is well maintained, no commercial traffic allowed, and no commercial blight like strip malls or billboards, exactly how a road should be.

      Happy motoring!

      • Wizard of the Saddle August 3, 2021 at 8:23 am #

        Cowbell is right. I live close to the Natchez Trace Parkway and have driven it many times. One warning: Don’t get on it if you are in a big hurry. Speed limit is 50 mph and this is enforced by the Park Police. Also, it is one lane only. Bathrooms are few and far between and not much in the way of facilities unless you exit the parkway to drive into small towns. But it’s a beautiful drive and very relaxing! Lots of history with many historical pullouts along the way with historic markers and such,

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder July 30, 2021 at 7:21 pm #

    Now the CDC is saying this variant is as contagious as chicken pox, no doubt as deadly too.

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/cdc-internal-memo-calls-delta-variant-as-contagious-as-chickenpox-report/ar-AAMK9I5?ocid=msedgntp

    Last time I checked there was no vaccine or sure fire remedy for chicken pox, you just let it run its course. Certainly, I am sure there are cases where someone in the world has died from chicken pox at some point in history.

    Just have some warm broth and stay home for a few days while your body recovers.

    • gerry July 30, 2021 at 1:03 pm #

      Sure there is a chicken pox vaccine. It’s called the varicella vaccine and is now given to kids as commonly as all the other vaccines on the ever expanding list. It’s very hard to catch chicken pox any more, due to this. Lots of stories of shedding when freshly vaccinated, and nearby older folks then breaking out in shingles.

      It’s really too bad we don’t let kids just catch this virus any more.

      • JohnAZ July 30, 2021 at 1:57 pm #

        FYI

        They used to have infection parties with kids. If Johnny got chicken pox, then a get together was done to try to get the kids through CP as children as getting it as an adult was much more serious. Same with measles. Vaccines eventually took the place of this kind of thinking without threat to the kids.

        Measles is deadly as a novel infection in adults. Most of the Native Hawaiians were killed by measles. Smallpox is deadly, most of the Eastern Native Americans were eliminated by smallpox.

        Shingles is not transferred from person to person. The immune system keeps the virus contained but alive and localized on nerves in the body. If the immune system alters, the virus emerges through the skin to form shingles, and it’s attack on those nerves makes it extremely painful.

        • Islander July 30, 2021 at 4:08 pm #

          JOhnAZ:

          No infection parties for us. We just went to school.
          Measles, mumps, chicken pox.
          We were healthy little devils, I guess, running around outside after school, unsupervised, riding our bikes anywhere we wanted, hanging out in the hay mow— instead of being “enriched” with indoor activities. No TV—no reception in our little valley.

        • Redneck Liberal July 30, 2021 at 9:02 pm #

          JohnAZ is correct about shingles. There’s no conceivable way that a vaccinated child would cause an adult to develop shingles. A shingles sufferer is having a recurrence from their own childhood chickenpox infection.

          I had such a case a few years back, and my GP explained it to me…oh, wait…the GP is actually a tool of Soros & the WEF, so i-so facto, she was lying to me right? (MaryQ, I saved you the trouble of ‘educating!’ Me. You’re welcome.)

If we do not rein in the increasing number of organisms trying to “eat us”, extinction is definitely a possibility for humanity. If mankind cannot find a solution, you are right, there is nothing we can do about it. I will be long gone before that point.

            It is one of the four horseman. 98% of the species that have inhabited earth are extinct today. I will guarantee you disease took out a bunch of them.

            I am older than you, and I am not scared of the corona virus.
            I am far more worried about the consequences or trajectory of the corona op.
            I am also not scared of or worried about “extinction” via a coronavirus.

          • Anthea July 31, 2021 at 10:13 am #

            John AZ, extinction of our species is always a possibility and always has been, and could occur in myriad ways, many of them unforeseen and unforeseeable. We will undoubtedly go extinct some time or other.

            At the personal level, extinction is a certainty; we are all going to die.

            In either instance, living our lives with the avoidance of death as our primary objective is unlikely to produce any positive results.

            Such an attitude reminds me of the Proverb, “There’s a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!”

    Fauci *ADMITS* I Was Right In Spring of 2020

    “it is exactly what is expected if a non-sterilizing vaccine produces both binding and neutralizing antibodies and we know, scientifically, that all the existing jabs do exactly that. When levels wane you still have binding antibodies and when the neutralizing level falls below the threshold to protect you now have an enhancement of the disease rather than protection. A person who was never infected and not vaccinated does not have the binding antibodies and thus, while at risk, doesn’t get the enhancement. Now we have real-world evidence that in fact the jabs produce risk as immunity wanes and that said risk may exceed, on a personal level, what someone has who never been infected or vaccinated is exposed to.”

    Yes. When peering across the socioscape at the mass average it is understandable that one reaches the conclusion that essentially the cascade of current events is little more than a result of human buffoonery. But I would implore you to consider that even kindergarteners are highly capable of elaborate secret schemes. Not to speak of these little schemers maturing into international Bond villians. Nonetheless, while of course it may not be the case, it is very possible, nay, probable that the above average are very adept at “secretly” moving everyone else in the direction they wish to go. And for sure the above average will fortify defenses needed to maintain their little fiefdoms.

    And I wouldn’t expect them to give up what they have gained. I recall an argument I once overheard “these are my diamonds bitch, and no one or no thing are taking them away from me”.

    Just coming off 17 days of flat-on-my-ass with Delta – running about maybe 30% right now. No doubt that if I was vaxxed, I wouldn’t be here to tell the story.

    More later, it’ll be good anecdotal, on-the-ground truth for CFN’ers. Happy to share anything that helps.

    I’m with Jim: mastermindery is the sexier explanation as the cause of our nation’s plight, but clusterfuckery is almost certainly the answer.

    Consider idiots like Bill Kristol and Robert Rubin who have been permitted to determine the course of this nation for decades. Not only are those who are in a position to thwart them too stupid to do so, but many people regard them as brilliant, despite their having never been right about anything in their lives.

    Einstein said “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.” I don’t know about physics or cosmology, but in the realm of politics stupidity is surely the most powerful force in the universe.

        For my money, a slick line of bullshit does not qualify as “smart,” while disastrous results of your decisions does, in fact, qualify as stupid.

    Although it is true that it is far more likely that our current problems arise from mass incompetence and negligence by our leadership across the world; I’d actually feel a little more relaxed if the ‘conspiracy theory’ of a global elite bend on culling our population was the correct one.

    If we have the latter as the truth, then the solutions are easier to come by: fight back, solve problems, change minds or selectively cull the morons from humanity.

    If the problem is the former, that it’s just collective poor choices across most of society and continously compounding problems then I’m afraid we’re truly screwed. How does one stop that?

    Of course it is far more likely to be a mass stupidity problem. Society doesn’t appear ready or even capable of modifying several sectors of it’s life to improve and grow.

      I prefer not to go where revolution leads. If I must, I will.

      Allow me to witness. I have enjoyed my vax status for 7+ months. I may have been misled but I will testify to attending four weddings from April through June with no masks and according to Alabama stats, 80%+ of 65+yr. olds, “medically altered”. I estimate a peer group of patients, family and friends at 1,000+ with no negative vaccine experiences. My 20’s children and their friends who have been vaccinated, not yet any negative reports.

      On a total population basis only 10% have had Covid. Their reports generally suggest a bad flu. Some not so bad. The only Covid long hauler I know is my son’s roommate at 24 yrs old. Maybe the others are just glad they are not still sick….

      I suspect my “vax” immunity has waned. Might not have been that protective anyway. I am still a big supporter of the anti-vax control group. No one has required me to prove my status–yet. I have an international trip coming up and will be interested to see what is and is not “required”. For the last 20 years I have not been a TSA supporter and have mentioned to my representative a couple of times that we should fire those 60,000+ underwear checkers but I am told there are “bad people” ready to commandeer an airliner. I am for allowing the airlines to lock the cockpit and use a metal detector on the jetway and then taking my chances.

      Twice I have been required to vaccinate (for Yellow Fever) before a trip. Didn’t think anything of it. There is more to think about for malaria prophylaxis…

      My assessment of this snafu is guilt from TPTB that allowed this lab created pathogen to escape and a rapid response to recover and save the day that has subsequently gone awry. Dumping Trump has been lagniappe. Promoting Biden was just the most convenient tool to hand.

      The Great Reset? Dangerous plans from the insanely wealthy. We do need a new international monetary system and the most highly invested in it would like to transition their wherewithal to the new system. An SDR based imaginary money digital currency system seems on offer.

      Peak oil? At $70/b and $3.00/gallon still no impediment to living well.

      I had my utility company come to the house this AM and change out my electric meter so they could “read” it from their central office and turn it off without sending someone out. Every breath feels like being in the grasp of a python.

      Construction in our booming town is everywhere. But it seems the only people working in the hot sun are “Hispanic”. So many fancy cars. Remodeling every other home. Very few new homes for sale.

      Alabama: lowest vaccination rate, highest positivity rate in USA-18%. Will it spike and crash like Britain and India or will the virus show its teeth?

      I am watchful but will need to be a lot more uncomfortable to take to the streets…..

    We have a snowballing disaster here (Ct), in April 2020 the Governor declared a ‘Rent Moratorium’ whereas a tenant did not have to pay rent, and could not be evicted. Tens of thousands of tenants haven’t made a rental payment for 16 months, and the Moratorium has just been extended, indefinitely for all we know. The upshot is that landlords are not paying property taxes or making mortgage payments on these properties, which at this point are dead assets. Property is being foreclosed upon and is also being abandoned. Another way this is manifesting itself is residential properties are no longer being maintained — grass not cut, snow not shoveled, repairs not made — which all costs money, which is no longer extant.

          Also, re: beach and homeless camps, been that way for a few decades now, especially after upgrade of beach facilities (very nice bathrooms, drinking water always on, grassy area to sleep). Will Rogers State Beach is one choice area.

          But that was then. Now it’s everywhere. Ironically, there are large camps outside the big box stores, particularly several Target stores in my area. Fortunately, city seems to be acknowledging and helping. I saw city trash pickup working with some camped folks at Devonshire/Balboa intersection a few weeks back. Good spirits, cooperative.

    To close out an item from the prior thread: Last night in Olympic swimming I noticed a swimmer who had a shaved head rather than using a rubber cap. He was 35 years old. I think the oldest swimmer in these Olympics.

    So, to answer my own earlier question, there apparently is no change in rules. Shaved heads are OK.

    The BiL Peter saga continues.

    1. Peter lost his cell phone AGAIN!!

    2. Peter’s hearing is sooo bad it is near impossible to hold a conversation with him. Don’t know if it is ear wax buildup or normal hearing loss that comes with age. Somehow Peter never learned how to remove wax from his own ears. As to hearing loss, a friend bought him a hearing aid 2 years ago ($500) but Peter refuses to use it. It has long since been lost anyway. This is totally normal for Peter.

    3. My wife got a phone call from one of Peter’s many doctors who is now saying Peter should/must go into a rehab facility for a month. When we spring this on Peter we expect massive pushback.

      “The BiL Peter saga continues.” – Q. quoting himself

      ==========

      This is getting to be a long-running unfunny joke. To recap:

      For reasons explained earlier, Peter shit his pants 5 feet from his desperate destination, the toilet. His sister (my wife) cleaned up the mess. Took the shitty underwear, shorts and shitty cleanup towels and put them in a plastic tub filled with hot soapy water and left them to soak for two days.

      In the meantime my wife and Peter were searching for his wallet and cell phone. Long story short, both items were in the shitty shorts soaking in soapy water for two days. The phone, of course, is ruined and a new one is being purchased as we speak. The wallet is ruined too but most of its contents are OK because they are plastic cards (health insurance, bank debit cards, drivers license (expired last December). The cash money was set out to dry. Also drying is Peter’s “COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card.” Hope it is still serviceable for when/if a Vaxx Passport becomes necessary.

    Consider the possibility that Life and the Life Force (remember them?) may have  determined human actions have now crossed a boundary Life deems impermissible. The current plagues may be an effort to contain human actions that tax the ability of the planet to support other life forms.
    .We try desperately to cope with the various manifestations of Covids that Life may have sown as impediments to human activities; adding to this are the millions of human deaths that are occurring. In the face of this kind of onslaught, we are helpless
    . The outburst coincides with the remarkable appearance of very sophisticated Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications and astounding robotic performances.In may not be a coincidence these two phenomena have arrived at this time. 1:The Covid plagues may be Life’s attempt to avoid planetary distress prior to Life’s possible resort to a ‘final solution’ to humanity’s insensitivity to fellow inhabitants of Earth. 2: Life’s possible desire to have awareness survive the passing of humans from the scene by allowing AI to continue until

    Life is assured consciousness and awareness will survive, artificially, beyond human existence.Until Life appears satisfied we humans are responding to its efforts to preserve life, the plagues may continue indefinitely. We are being warned but its doubtful we’ll respond. Humans appear tone-deaf to the screaming of our desperate fellow creatures which we regard as concerns of Life and not of ourselves. End

But yes, now that silly human apes have let the genie out of the bottle, there’s no telling where nature takes it from here. I’m sure the boy and girl genius scientists who came up with this stuff have only a rudimentary understanding of GOF viruses and all the rest of it.

      This reminds me of a rigmarole story on of my old friends once told me, about her daughter. No, she was, despite all appearances, not half black, but was actually her cousin’s daughter whom she had adopted. Her father was a high level drug dealer, and her grandfather was a fabulously wealthy sultan in the Middle East who was trying to steal the little girl away from her and force her to live in a palace (as opposed to a trailer park). The grandfather was immensely influential with the US State Department, and was playing every dirty trick in the book to repatriate his granddaughter. And that was why my friend was in trouble with Medicaid.

      What you’ve done is concoct a fantasy, pretty much out of whole cloth, about what you think Life thinks–which, I gather, is that she is displeased, causing her to unleash the sniffles, in many variants, among us.

      Perhaps you too are in trouble with Medicaid.

    My guess? The public will not stand for it. 18 months of this BS is enough. People are fed up and they are NOT going back to lockdowns and masks. They also sure as hell are not going to tolerate the evil twins of the Feds and their corporate lackeys threatening to throw half the country into the unemployment lines over refusals to take the stinking “jabs” of their apparently impotent, if not downright dangerous, mRNA gene therapy masquerading as a “vaccine.”

            But does your wife have the fortitude to remain unvaxxed if exposed to vaxx propaganda?
            Or will the friends also keep *that* form of distance and respect her choice—plus are they capable of understanding that they are actually the potential transmitters?

            Islander, yes. I think you misunderstood me.

            My wife would never get vaxxed. She has gone ballistic since she put the pieces to this hoax together over the past few months.

            She joined Die Basis even before me. But she is trying to find a way not to lose friends, particularly old ones.

            I say I am harsher, because I no longer care. I am of the opinion that if one has taken the shot, they cannot be educated, because no one I have met who has taken the shot has shown or shows even the slightest abilitiy to comprehend what is about to happen.

            My wife knows very well what is coming.

          • Islander July 31, 2021 at 2:54 pm #

            N.O.
            “Islander, yes. I think you misunderstood me.”

            OK. Good that you and your wife are on the same page with the jabs.

            Re friendship, well, my experience is that Germans take friendships very seriously.

            Not that others do not. But Germans tend to take life seriously. (Maybe that is why they are considered humorless, which I consider untrue!)

            So it is laudable of your wife to maintain friendships, where social relationships are (deliberately, I speculate) being strained and people are being set against each other.

            If a point comes when those who have been fooled do start to see the light it will better if friendships have remained.
            No “I told you so” among friends?
            Hopefully.

          • Night Owl July 31, 2021 at 3:31 pm #

            Hey Islander. I must say that after living here for so long, I don’t really think Germans take friendships any more or less seriously than Americans or any other group, TBH.

            Americans are more superficial, and certainly have some different social norms and behaviors (more emotional, etc.), but at the end of the day, you either have things in common, or you do not.

            I will say that most people we know do not really care about whether anyone has taken the shot or not, but I don’t think that applies to the general population, as the media poison is the same as it was in the US, just presented in a manner that is superficially (in this case) more “sachlich.”

        Below is some relevant information. Note it’s from the CDC not some “nut case conspiracy theorist living in his mother’s basement”.
        And while this report covers only one county, reports are pouring in from all over the world that the vaccinated are getting sick with some form of Covid far more than the unvaxed.

        *****************************************************

        74% Of COVID-19 Cases From Massachusetts Outbreak Occurred In Fully Vaccinated People: CDC

        Of the 469 cases detected in Barnstable County, 74 percent occurred among the fully vaccinated, according to a new study published on Friday.

        Genomic sequencing of 133 patients showed most of them were infected with the Delta variant of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.

        The bulk of the infected people did not require hospital care, but among the five that did, four were fully vaccinated.

        • hmuller July 30, 2021 at 5:56 pm #

          More and more people are discovering that reality is not matching the narrative the authorities and MSM put out. No surprise to me. But an amazing number of people still have faith in the good intentions of the power mongers who rule and exploit us.

          • Islander July 31, 2021 at 10:20 am #

            HMuller:
            Yep, and I hope I am helping more and more people to discover the reality behind the propaganda. My post to my small personal email list below with excerpts (all of them jabbed except for one, whose aged mom was practically killed by the first jab and still has not recovered from it and it looks like she never will; her doc had the common sense to nix the second jab for her, and, my friend says, many others of his patients):

            “https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/74-percent-covid-19-cases-massachusetts-outbreak-occurred-fully-vaccinated-people-cdc

            “By July 26, 469 COVID-19 cases were identified among state residents, with dates of positive specimens ranging from July 6 to July 25.

            Researchers found that ***the bulk were fully vaccinated,*** a term that refers to people who have gotten two Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines, or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson jab.”

            And
            “Initial data­chain reaction cycle threshold values from some of the specimens­ indicate that the viral load of the vaccinated and unvaccinated cases are similar, researchers said. However, they said microbiological studies are required to confirm those findings.”

            “The data demonstrate “that Delta infection resulted in similarly high SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in vaccinated and unvaccinated people,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director, said in a statement on Friday.”

            “High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus.”
            ++++++++++

            So, vaccinated not only are *not* protected from catching covid-19. They are also spreading it. This was totally predicted, although most who got jabs didn’t understand this at all and thought they were protecting themselves *and others* by getting jabbed. Others knew differently because they actually read the literature: Namely: the jabs’ only ability is to weaken symptoms if one did catch covid. They do not prevent infection; they do not kill the virus; and they do not prevent transmission of the virus. That is the standard FDA definition of a vaccine, and the m RNA jabs do not meet the definition of a vaccine. Hence they do not accomplish what a vaccine would accomplish. Now, the jabbed actually are the “asymptomatic transmitters,” since they can be infected but the jabs reduced the visible symptoms.

            Furthermore of course the jabbed are the ones providing the selection pressure on the virus to mutate, although the Delta variant is weaker than the alpha.

          “The bulk of the infected people did not require hospital care, but among the five that did, four were fully vaccinated.”

          I’ll bet the fifth had taken the first of the two shots, making them vaccinated but not “fully vaccinated.”

          • hmuller July 31, 2021 at 6:31 pm #

            I would add, if all this were some kind of horrible accident, an unintended mistake, the authorities would immediately halt the vaccinations. Instead they are pushing harder to get as many people as possible jabbed, and quickly, before the truth becomes generally known.

            This is a sign of malignant conspiracy not befuddled mismanagement, Mr Kunstler!

      But people are also not going back to work. What is going to happen when the government checks stop flowing? And the rent moratorium is up too? The rest of the year could be the time when the house of cards tips over. The government will have only two choices that I can see — restart the cash flow or stick to no more money and face the rage.

      • Blackbird July 31, 2021 at 3:34 pm #

        Pandemonium Unemployment Assistance ends the day before Labor Day (how ironic). I suspect there will be a surge in job applicants after that. I suspect there will also be a “surge” in “Covid cases” this fall – new and improved variants. So, the gravy train may be rollin’ back into town around Christmas. But… want a job, or money for not working? Get the jab.

        At least that’s what I think I see as I squint toward the future.

      EXCEPT, OG, the CDC now has a problem. They’ve just published a study from Massachusetts of a Delta outbreak that shows out of 469 cases detected, 74 percent occurred among the fully vaccinated. Furthermore, out of five people who were hospitalised, four of them were fully vaccinated.

      I guess this explains the sudden U-turn on masks, essentially an admission that the vaccines are useless, or possibly worse than useless.

      • SW July 30, 2021 at 7:11 pm #

        But they’re already being pressured to backtrack on their findings. And there was yet another “government official” on the news saying the best defense against it was to wear a mask. They won’t give up on the masks and the CDC is front and center:

        “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week changed its guidance to recommend all children over 2 years old wear a mask when they return to school, regardless of vaccination status.”

      • Slugoon July 31, 2021 at 12:49 am #

    “…Are they actually trying to kill us all… is it mastermindery or clusterfuckery?

    This should not be an either/or question.

    “… humans have over-replicated, like maggots in a trash can…”

    On this point, regular human beings and The Globalists can totally agree. The point of disagreement is in WHICH group is the maggots.

    “…where all that has left the hapless Dr. Tony Fauci.”

    He has already led a life of oversized wealth and privilege and a 15-Minutes-Of-Fame that has somehow stretched out to almost 65 years of convincing jive-and-jabbery performances. A special kind of ‘hapless’ for sure.

    “His reputation is shot and he could end his days in an orange jump suit doing Chinese fire drills up and down the exercise court at Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary.”

    Will we see him arrogantly addressing his Cell Mates with those piercing eyes and his belligerent, judgmental tone over who should sit where and how his new pals should put their trust and faith in his omnipotent counsel as has the majority of the American People for decades. He’s sure The Guys will love all this. And him.

    “We are spinning into pandemonium… as if Gawd himself has split the scene in utter disgust and left matters to the ancient furies.”

    Gawd himself watches all this closely and smiles… a smile born from pain, sadness, disappointment, and horror. But it’s better than having a deity cry.

      It would seem that every cynical and ominous prediction I made more than a year ago, has come true. I have taken no pleasure in watching how these initial conjectures have been proven painfully correct, and how these trends have only accelerated in recent weeks. I wish more than anything that I could have been embarrassingly and unequivocally mistaken in my political and economic forecasts. But that is not the state of the world, or the ongoing response to the pandemic.

    Today the Biden administration stated it would not continue the moratorium on rent relief. On the local news, a judge said before the Covid restrictions, she could hear 30 cases at a time but now only 6 b/c of social distancing. There’s a huge backlog and there’ll be a lot of people on the street to keep the 1/2 million already there, company.

    But these are small, annoying trivialities to the reporters at The Atlantic. In an unintentionally hilarious article about the My Pillow guy, the WOKE reporter said:

    “Lindell had agreed to have lunch with me after the taping. But where to go? I didn’t think it would be much fun to take someone inclined to shout about rigged voting machines and fake COVID-19 cures to a crowded bistro on Capitol Hill. Because Lindell is famously worried about Chinese Communist influence, I thought he would like to pay homage to the victims of Chinese oppression. I booked a Uyghur restaurant.”

    The world has officially gone crazy and if you doubt it, on the news tonight Lester Holt and some perky newsreader are enoouraging us to go Christmas shopping in July.

    THE MYPILLOW GUY GUY [SIC] REALLY COULD DESTROY DEMOCRACY

    In the Time I spent with Mike Lindell, I came to learn that he is affable, devout, philanthropic — and a clear threat to the nation.

    By Anne Applebaum

    When you contemplate the end of democracy in America, what kind of person do you think will bring it about? Maybe you picture a sinister billionaire in a bespoke suit, slipping brown envelopes to politicians. Maybe your nightmare is a rogue general, hijacking the nuclear football. Maybe you think of a jackbooted thug leading a horde of men in white sheets, all carrying burning crosses.

    Here is what you probably don’t imagine: an affable, self-made midwesterner, one of those goofy businessmen who makes his own infomercials. A recovered crack addict, no less, who laughs good-naturedly when jokes are made at his expense. A man who will talk to anyone willing to listen (and to many who aren’t). A philanthropist. A good boss. A patriot—or so he says—who may well be doing more damage to American democracy than anyone since Jefferson Davis.

    The Toronto Blue Jays last played a game in Toronto on Sept. 29, 2019. 670 days ago.

    The Jays are home (SkyDome) tonight as they host the Kansas City Royals.

    15,000 allowed in to the stadium that seats about 52,000 for baseball.

    Go Jays Go!

      All this Covid BS along with all the political virtue signalling will be the death of professional sports.

      “The NFL plans to make “Lift Every Voice and Sing” — often referred to as the Black national anthem — a permanent fixture before all major league events this coming season, according to reports.”

      Great! How about the Mexican National Anthem, something for Asians, something for each of the 27 identified genders. “I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar” by Helen Reddy is also very catchy. In fact, forget the game; lets just have a liberation songfest.

      • Blackbird July 31, 2021 at 9:24 pm #

        If the death of professional sports leads to the death of college athletics, then I say good riddance. The university system in the US is the overpriced annex to the K-12 day care industry. Kick out the kiddies who want to spend their entire extended childhood playing games, and maybe the kids who should be there can learn something.

    CDC study shows 74% of people infected in Massachusetts Covid outbreak were fully vaccinated

    “About three-fourths of people infected in a Massachusetts Covid-19 outbreak were fully vaccinated, according to new data published Friday by the CDC.

    The new data, published in the U.S. agency’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, also found that fully vaccinated people who get infected carry as much of the virus in their nose as unvaccinated people.”

    Orange jumpsuit? Funny that JHK mentions that because I was rhetorically asking my wife not long ago (not that she actually listened) is it really possible that in this damn near all-encompassing universe of legislation and regulation covering damn near every kind of human utterance and activity that it’s actually legal to create lethal microbes – either directly on US soil or indirectly by funding a Chinese lab – out of some harmless bugs that formerly only affected animals?

    Is it really possible that there isn’t a word of legalese that expressly forbids the kind of lunacy that you’d only otherwise ever find in teenage boy fiction or some tacky drive-in movies from the 60s?

    Is it really possible that there’s no legal sanction for trying to conceal what happened? No penalty for either scientific authority or for social media platforms and their execs?

    Yet here we are contemplating exactly such a thing, an accidental escape from a lab of a life form that had no business ever existing in the first place had it not been for crazy-assed, over-educated but under common-sensed blunderers who apparently lost touch with reality. And its creation was LEGAL?

    And seemingly not a peep (at least that I’ve heard) about the DOJ turning over rocks to find something, anything in the law to justify firehosing indictments at anybody that had anything whatever to do with such mind-boggling recklessness.

    Oh wait, I remember, it hasn’t been PROVEN that an artificial covid19 was accidentally released. Yes, yes, assuming there’s a smidgen of uncertainty, my betting is that nobody that actually has the legal mandate and investigative resources is in any hurry to get to it.

    You know, so many other pressing priorities, you know, like investigating Trump.

    And maybe they’re not turning over these “rocks” because they’re afraid of what might crawl out and come to light.

    But here we’re in the realm of science fiction speculation aren’t we? But what if this story of deliberate creation in China and accidental release is just a fogbank to hide what REALLY happened?

    So what REALLY happened? No matter the crazy shit you can imagine, the reality is likely a whole lot crazier.

    And isn’t it passing strange how much energy these investigative agencies and the justice system put into trying to depose Trump? And to stymie his agenda no matter the legal gymnastics needed? But on this issue they seem to have gone on siesta. Odd.

    • KappaJoe July 30, 2021 at 11:42 pm #

      My take is that illegal gain of function research was conducted here and in China, but it wasn’t for any kind of corona virus per se, but for the debilitating spike protein featured in most of the current injections.

      This spike protein was seeded in certain areas by various means, notably Northern Italy and NYC (to see if it works and start the ball rolling), attacking the weak, infirm, and immunocompromised.

      The global media then hyped this initial seeding on the back of the annual flu into unbridled hysteria.

      Then ignorant, clueless pols obeyed unscientific “recommendations” to mask, distance, and isolate, seeding the frenzy for a pharmaceutical solution.

      Then the spike protein (and probably a whole bunch of other things that needed testing) were released as voluntary uptake onto an unsuspecting public in violation of all ten tenets of the Nuremberg code.

      The delta variant is mostly the spike protein in the injections as well as a few summer flu cases.

      You are here.

        Over a year before this Covid-19 hit, I bought and watched the British mini-series “Utopia”. In that “fiction” a “Russian flu” was just the lure to deliver the vaccine which caused mass sterilization. But our overlords don’t have that kind of patience. They want us dead fast!

        Normies mock us when we say the Cabal must reveal its plans before carrying them out. Yet, odd coincidences keep happening,

        In The Lone Gunmen’s premiere episode, “Pilot”, which aired March 4, 2001, members of the U.S. government conspire to hijack an airliner, almost hitting the World Trade Center, and blame the act on terrorists to gain support for a new profit-making war. The episode aired six months prior to the September 11 attacks.

    BANNED from YOUTUBE
    Lab Analysis at 7 Universities Shows NO Covid!

    Rob Oswald: Officially COVID-19 it’s a flu and not a virus.

    “I have a PhD in virology and immunology. I’m a clinical lab scientist and have tested 1500 “supposed” positive Covid 19 samples collected here in S. California. When my lab team and I did the testing through Koch’s postulates and observation under a SEM (scanning electron microscope), we found NO Covid in any of the 1500 samples. What we found was that all of the 1500 samples were mostly Influenza A and some were influenza B, but not a single case of Covid, and we did not use the B.S. PCR test.

    We then sent the remainder of the samples to Stanford, Cornell, and a few of the University of California labs and they found the same results as we did, NO COVID. They found influenza A and B. All of us then spoke to the CDC and asked for viable samples of COVID, which CDC said they could not provide as they did not have any samples.
    “We have now come to the firm conclusion through all our research and lab work, that the COVID 19 was imaginary and fictitious. The flu was called Covid and most of the 225,000 dead were dead through co-morbidities such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, emphysema etc. and they then got the flu which further weakened their immune system and they died. I have yet to find a single viable sample of Covid 19 to work with.

    “We at the 7 universities that did the lab tests on these 1500 samples are now suing the CDC for Covid 19 fraud. the CDC has yet to send us a single viable, isolated and purifed sample of Covid 19. If they can’t or won’t send us a viable sample, I say there is no Covid 19, it is fictitious. The four research papers that do describe the genomic extracts of the Covid 19 virus never were successful in isolating and purifying the samples. All the four papers written on Covid 19 only describe small bits of RNA which were only 37 to 40 base pairs long which is NOT A VIRUS. A viral genome is typically 30,000 to 40,000 base pairs. With as bad as Covid is supposed to be all over the place, how come no one in any lab world wide has ever isolated and purified this virus in its entirety? That’s because they’ve never really found the virus, all they’ve ever found was small pieces of RNA which were never identified as the virus anyway.

    “So what we’re dealing with is just another flu strain like every year, COVID-19 does not exist and is fictitious. I believe China…..”

        I don’t know either, but Sean Coleman doesn’t believe in its real. He’s usually exhaustive in his research.

        • Sean Coleman July 31, 2021 at 4:27 pm #

          Yes, you are right, Yo. The virus has never been isolated, cultured and injected into guinea pigs to produce the symptoms. It is just the re-labelling of existing flu and other viruses (there are about a hundred known to cause illness, including the mild corona virus which causes colds). The same thing happened with HIV, which has also never been isolated, although the media there again gave the impression it had. AIDS was just re-labelling existing diseases (nearly 30 from memory) and, as with Covid, it was the treatment that was killing the patients.

          I strongly suspect the original SARS never exiisted, and the same for all the others: bird flu, ebola and all the rest.

          Now, SARSCovid2 may indeed exist, at least on paper (or ‘in silico’, on a computer data base) because the usual suspects (Fauci, CDC, Big Pharma) patented it years ago. I think (but am not quite sure) that it had to be man-made because you cannot patent a naturally occurring virus (check that too). I think the new virus was needed in order to patent the vaccinations. (Again, not sure about that bit either.) David Martin explained all of this a fortnight ago but it will take a few listens to nail it down in my mind.

          Corona Ausschuss dropped another bombshell yesterday when they interviewd Dr Bryan Ardis, who explained how the CDC made the expeerimental (and not approved) anti-viral drug mandatory as the only drug for treating ‘Covid19’ in America. This would explain why the US is unique in showing a rise in all-causes mortality – Prof Rancourt had assumed it was down to the vulnerablitliy of large, fragile sections of the US population to the harsh lockdown conditions, but it look snow it was just the usual effect of medical treatment, at least the third most important cause of mortality).

          Ardis shows that the CDC knew all about the dangers of Rendisivir. He was alerted by reports of Covid causing kidney failure: viruses do not do this. The CDC website even links (or linked) to two studies about Rendisivir and three other drugs. R was the most dangerous and caused the most deaths so that one trial even dropped it before the trial finished.

          Ardis says that the FDA finally approved Rendisivir in October, but it had alraedy killed 500k by then.

          He says it was planned genocide by death from drugs, vaccines and by sterilization (vaccines).
          https://www.facebook.com/OVALmediagroup/videos/229741295686910/

          I am listening to it again just to get it into my head.

          It is extraordinary. I would have gone along with the ‘cock-up’ theory which JHK refers to but I now firmly believe there has been a conspiracy.

          A year ago Dr Wolfgang Wodarg said that there should be a criminal mass murder investigation and al the others (Reiner Fueilmich anyway) thought this was very harsh. Now it is clear the authorities knew about the dangers of the drugs and (I am pretty sure, but I need to clear my head) the vaccines too. Wodarg a year ago said that the massive overdosing of HCQ was quite possibly intentional in order to drive up the death figures to heighten public fear and hysteria. Until now I believed that the WHO had just carelessly but innocently, mixed HCQ with hydroxyquinoline, whihc is used in highter doses to treat dysentry, etc. Wodarg says that may well have been an excuse they thought up.

          It is hard to keep this all in my mind as there is just too much, much of it difficult to believe.

          There is now a Belgian psycologist talking about mass hysteria, which is my own speciality, as it were. Like most, he nearly gets it, but not quite. They end up talking about Hannah Arendt and the banality of evil. They compare Eichmann to contemporary bureaucrats, who do evil things merely by following the letter of the law (as it is now corruptly interpreted). Eichemann was innocent, of course. He had to be because the Holocaust did not happen.

          He makes a shrewd observation however (the Belgian) when he says that those behind this ‘pandemic’ are even more deluded than those who are on the receiving end. This is something I have also argued. I wrote here a few weeks ago, for example, that the Jews were the most deluded of the them all (read ‘Jews’ in the restricted sense of the oligarchs and their allies).

          Well worth listeining to him too. He says that people are mobilized in these phenomena to get relief from the enormous anxieties they are experiencing. They are not open to facts arnd arguments (eg the virus is a hoax) because this would mean a return to their pain.

          I still think mass fantasy explains it better.

          • Sean Coleman July 31, 2021 at 4:34 pm #

            Just to add that the two damning studies of Rendisivir were public available all along on the CDC website and Ardis says that nobody ever checked them and read them.

            This reminds me of the story of the Stanford prison expeirment which I mentioned recently. I think it was in 2013 that a French film maker travelled to California to make a documentary. He asked to look at the documentation of the epxeriment and was amazed to find that nobody had ever looked at it before. The experiment was, of course, nothing like what it was claimed to be. The guards had been primed to act brutally and they did not do it spontaneously because they were given a uniform to wear.

            You will recall, Yo, that I have said repeated over the last few years that this kind of thing happens over and over again under the influence of fantasy.

            Another hoax that has interested me of late is Piltdown Man. It took half a century before the skull was properly examined and found to be a very crud hoax.

          • Sean Coleman July 31, 2021 at 4:40 pm #

            And then there is Dr Wakefield’s famous fraudulent experiment. Those who believe this (nearly everyone) fail to realize that the retraction by the Lancet was a ‘retraction of interpretation’; there was nothing wrong with the experiment as such, mrerely that they disagreed (after coming under massive government pressure) with the interpretation of its results. Yet people keep parroting the lie.

He stated he was mortified his name was attached to the story. Another blogger was identified as the originator of the story which first appeared in December. Misinformation spreaders often create false stories and dishonestly attribute them to real experts to make the article appear valid.

    The problem with some rabid posters here is that they so want a particular story to be true that they never crosscheck the source. You know who you are.

    As others on the blog have so cogently pointed out, there is an information war occurring against the public on a matter of things– Jan.6th Capitol riot, “extremism”, and in particular, Covid 19 hysteria.

    All this is about the struggle to regain control of people to pre-Trump conditions. It’s about the complete control of information and State power to decide what the truth is. A byword in State Media is “misinformation” which surely means that that the MSM/State Media is lying to you.

  71. beantownbill. July 30, 2021 at 10:34 pm #

    To delve further into the covid misinformation network, the claim that the virus has never been isolated is untrue. Stephen Griffen a virologist at Leeds institute of Medical Research as published on fullfact.com, states various lab tests have in fact isolated the virus.

    The Reuters Fact Check Team – Reuters.com/article/factcheck – has stated that the virus has never been isolated claims are false. They also claim multiple examples of isolating the virus exist.

    Ian Mackay, Associate Professor at the University of Queensland, in a blog post, says in many instances the virus has been isolated.

    A quick internet search asking the question if the covid virus has ever been isolated displays many sites that offer the answer positively. I just used 3 examples, but I don’t want to spend more time, so y’all can do more searches by valid sources.

      • beantownbill. July 30, 2021 at 11:15 pm #

        No, incorrect, Mary. Lab experiments using actual material from infected people have isolated the virus. Electron microscopes show the virus.

        Also, Koch’s Postulates are not applicable to viruses, just bacteria. And modern day changes to the postulates have had to be made even for some bacteria.

        You think I like to say all this? I don’t. This world is so complicated as technology has advanced, that it takes a lot of work to dig for even the simple truth.

          There are two sides to the vaccine, just like everything it seems.

          Both declare themselves to be the God’s honest truth.

          If one is correct, 160 million people will be dead in three years. If the other is correct, the virus will just keep infecting unvaccinated or susceptible folks until the reservoir runs dry.

          I, like you, am over 70 and chose to take the vaccine to avoid the crud and stop hiding.

          All this conjecture that I have read, all this opinion, some of it unbelievable BS, is exactly that, some ones opinion. A few data points are shown, once in a great while, but nothing that is proven data, peer reviewed and substantiated with large samples of people.

            The VAERs report is useless for information. Absolutely no breakdown of what has caused the deaths indicated, no control situation to compare fatality percentages with.

            My number one, absolutely no information of blood work, or biopsies substantiating any of the claims of mRNA or s protein toxicity. A big part of the toxicity claims is that s proteins last for a long time and may even increase.

            I am comfortable that the claims are unsubstantiated and will not waste one hour being anxious about it.

            This will be my last post on the crud. Time will tell who is right, the data base is no help.

            As for “why no control situation,” that is of course because the jabs are basically untested. Hence no reliable data.

          And how about the new variants. Show us how they are identified. This is all absolute bullshit. Just another story pushed by TPTB and people accept it because they need a reason to think it’s true. Show us any evidence that C-19 has been isolated and that any of the “tests” can accurately identify the “virus”.

          I’m sorry. The CDC is not a valid source for anything, since they consistently lie and are caught in it.

          If they say they isolated it – only after months of skeptics claiming the opposite – I call foul.

          Much like the PCR tests which don’t work, and they claim do.

          Much like they didn’t know it’s stupid to vaccinate people DURING a pandemic?

          The CDC can fuck right off. They lie like a rug.

    I am just a 2d year gardener, and this is the first year I have a back yard, and raised beds.

    We have had a heatwave for 2 months that have stunted just about everything, BUT squash, zucchini and cucumbers are BLOWING UP. I have a pile of them just from today’s harvest. Holy cow I had no idea how prolific these things are. I have to admit I worked my ass off to keep the young plants from being eaten by earwigs, etc. And I covered them every day with thin garden covers for nearly a month solid during the hottest days. Tomatoes are stunted though, some peppers might still come through, they are flowering.

    I am marveling over the pile of stuff I have to now eat or freeze. Whoa!

    If we were all doing this, at least those of us with a yard, no one would be starving.

    I also have potatoes, kale, pole beans, red cabbage, lots of herbs.

    And pollinator plants, which are attracting a lot of bees and hummingbirds.

      Now you are talking. I have gardened for decades. Used to be that the only concern for the season was the first freeze.

      In Phoenix, there are two seasons, January to June and Sept to Jan. The temp extremes stop plant growth in the winter and for four months of the summer. Last year the temp. Was in the 110 to 118 range for most of August. August is normally much cooler, 100 -105 in August, but there was no monsoon to cool us down.

      Everything, even cactus and other desert plants suffered, sun burned, died, citrus trees dropped 2/3 of their leaves, Roses dried up, everything stopped growing and died back.

      I found through the years here that

      Tomatoes stop flowering above 95 deg.

      Squash of all types stop flowering above 105 degrees.

      Corn is stunted above 110 degrees. Peppers are okay up to 110, then they stop growing.

      The only thing I have found that consistently grows here is okra. We had a few seasons of jambalaya around here.

      The low humidity, 0-15% does not help.

      When the soil is above 105 consistently, nothing germinates.

      • JohnAZ July 31, 2021 at 12:29 am #

        Each growing season is too short for most long term crops so melons, squash, large tomatoes are difficult.

        Arizona’s number 1 crop, mostly on the Gila River drainage, is one that can grow with short seasons twice a year. Lettuce.

        Some hybrids of corn grow in each season, most not worth eating.

      • MaryQueen July 31, 2021 at 9:59 am #

        JAZ, great tips and good to know about the temps.

        Okra?? My most hated vegetable. I would not do well in AZ.

        I do have a friend who is an incredible gardener in AZ. I forget which city. She has built quite a setup in her back yard, but still has a lot of challenges, probably the ones you mention. She’s still able to get quite a yield, though. I think she does best during the fall growing season.

        Some of my lettuce bolted, and some stunted. No good lettuce this year.

      Cucurbita pepo. I don’t think I’ve ever met an organism more enthusiastic about living. I’ve badmouthed other plants over their neediness – but not this one. Rich soil, poor soil, no soil, no problem. Drop a few seeds on the ground and you’ve got friends for life. Cucurbita pepo, best friend of the post-apocalyptic homesteader.

    • Rulo Deschamps July 31, 2021 at 7:25 pm #

      Mary, very good! For the 3rd year, keep in mind some heat resistant veggies that could do well in your neck of the woods: eggplants, okra, hot chiles, sweet potatoes in addition to the squash you mention. Cukes generally don’t take extreme heat well, glad you managed to get a crop.

      Pollinator plants are always a good addition to any garden.

      Make your own compost with kitchen scraps like eggshells, coffee grounds, veggie scraps, fruit peels. No meat or fat. You can add garden clippings but make sure you don’t use any weeds gone to seed, as the seeds will likely pop when you use the compost later – they shouldn’t if the pile has “cooked” right, but oftentimes they do.

      And take a look at JHK’s garden pictures, it’s very nice and may give you some ideas.

      Happy gardening!

      I hear you. I have tomatoes, peppers, beans, and okra coming out of my ears at this point. Gardening has been exceptionally productive this year. This is my second year doing it with large containers. It is a deeply satisfying thing to grow, harvest, and consume fresh produce in your back yard. It all tastes better than the store bought stuff too.

    BACK ROW HECKLER,

    Would you find out what the 30-ish blue collar guy died from?

    and

    where did the Sheriff shoot that mountain lion? In LA County? On what beach? Was Mr. Lion stalking vagrants living on the beach looking for something too eat? From what I see on video LA County beaches would be a target rich environment for a hungry Lion. Why did the cops shoot him?

    just do a search,
    Janitor saw mountain lion on Santa Monica street; then it …
    Search domain latimesblogs.latimes.comhttps://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/05/mountain-lion-santa-monica-janitor.html
    The janitor who discovered a mountain lion in the courtyard of a Santa Monica office building Tuesday morning said he had seen the big cat earlier walking along Arizona Avenue. He was cleaning the building in the 1200 block of 2nd Street before 6 a.m. when he spotted the cat again.

    • BackRowHeckler July 31, 2021 at 3:52 am #

      Thanks Malth.

      Yeah I did Google that story about the Lion but you usually have some pretty good behind the scenes insights into happenings around LA, so I wanted to hear what you had to say about it.

      There was a movie in the 90s ‘The Miracle Mile’ I think the name of it was, opening scene showed coyotes scavenging inside an LA diner, prelude to widespread panic before a full out nuclear war.

      Speaking of big cats, last week I saw my first bobcat, weighed about 60 lbs, was strolling thru my property, acting like he owned the place. I’d heard Bobcats were around here but that’s the first time I’ve seen one.

    I have some issues with the Covid dialogue you naysayers can agree with me. I think the numbers show that the anxiety-producing info being put out is way overdone. If someone doesn’t want to get vaxxed – well, it’s their own choice. I wouldn’t castigate any non-vaxxers. Trying to force them is dictatorial. I say mandates, shmandates. I got Phizered voluntarily only because of my age – I’m 76. I’m more vulnerable than younger people; I’m just playing the odds. I didn’t get jabbed because I didn’t want to cause trouble, or I wanted to be a good boy, or I believed the government wants to help me.

    Now that some info has come out that maybe, possibly, the vaccine can kill me down the line is no cause for worry to me. You know why? Because if true, I won’t know for long because I’ll be dead. The Bible gives us three score and ten. I’ve already passed that standard pretty healthily. Every moment beyond that is a bonus, so I’ve already won. I make decisions based on the evidence, and since nobody can say for sure whether the vaccine will kill me in the future because the evidence isn’t in yet, I went forward. Life is always about playing the odds. No one really knows the true numbers, but even if one million have died already from the vax (way too high an estimate), that still gives me 159 to 1 odds of success. I’ll take those odds.

    Doesn’t this remind anyone

    • Yohannon July 30, 2021 at 11:36 pm #

      Dr Peter McCullough has seen some of his elderly patients, previously in good health, crippled by the vaccine. People who could walk for miles now out of breath after a quarter mile. One lady who was mentally fine, now in cognitive collapse.

      He doesn’t recommend it for anyone now. At first he was cautious, saying it might be good for some. But he doesn’t let his caution get in the way of what he has found, nor the overwhelming social and professional pressure to accept it. The shit is bad.

    From my friend, Paula:

    “Yeah, the True Believers have not incorporated the latest info into their exhortations.

    Long Covid ain’t got nothing on Long TDS.

    For 5 years they have spewed Hate and Fear out onto other Americans, while believing themselves to be righteous and true, and thereby justified in their Hate.

    They have merely incorporated the vaxes into their pre-existing TDS condition. Therefore, hating non-vaxers is the same as hating Trumpers, and as a matter of fact, they almost always hurl some sort of Trump-smear at resistors.

    I note that today, while the advertisers may have temporarily silenced themselves due to the CDC reversal, the True Believers are still sallying forth, exhorting, shaming, insulting and earnestly wishing for the deaths of those they deem unworthy.

    They took the jab because they care SO much about others that they want to save lives, you see. But not you. They hope you die a horrible lingering death.”

    If a population has gained immunity to a virus, either by having it or getting a vaccine, the virus has to change in order to get access to them. Thus be definition, it’s the vaccinated who are driving variants as opposed to the unvaccinated.

      Can we please continue to remind ourselves that the C-19 jab DOES NOT CONFER IMMUNITY.

      • Islander July 31, 2021 at 8:39 am #

        “the C-19 jab DOES NOT CONFER IMMUNITY.”

        Exactly. These jabs do not do so.

        Many MDs whom I trust, such as McCullough, have pointed out that one never vaccinates in the middle of an outbreak—when the virus is at large in the community—because that drives its evolution.

        In a tradition situ as with polio and small pox the viruses evolved relatively slowly, so it was a reachable goal to totally eradicate them in the wild, via repeated vaccinations of all children with the traditional type of vaccine, which contained material from the actual virus. These vaccines “sanitized” the child’s body. No shedding etc.

        The mess we are in with the current batch of gene jabs is that they do not kill the virus, which by its nature evolves very rapidly. So, worst of all worlds, purely in “vaccine” terms:

        ##jabbing in the middle of an outbreak
        ##with a jab that does not sanitize the viruses in the recipient’s body, so allows survival of some virons—the ones that evolve most successfully
        ##are not based on genuine viral material but rather on some kind of computer models
        ##contain a computer-generated version of the most dangerous part of the actual SARS-CoV-2 virus, the spike proteins

        Going beyond “vaccine” terms,
        ##they also contain other unknown materials.
        ##the jabs have been thoroughly politicized in ways that “leverage” the inherent dangers in the jabs themselves to become a major sociopolitical destabilizer.
        ##the major indication of the political aim of the jabs is the fact that

        @@information on treatment has been suppressed/censored

        @@the dangerous side effects are not leading to the
        cessation of the jab program as one would expect, and
        basically are being officially ignored as much as possible.

        @@doctors are not reliable sources of medical information

        @@those who ask questions and refuse to get jabbed are
        accused of political wrong-think (being Trump supporters..

        Absent an alternative press we wouldn’t really know anything about the jabs’ hazards. Knowledge of the jabs’ hazards drives the “political” question as to whether this is clusterfuckery or mastermindfuckery.

        I think Kunstler has come down on the wrong side of this. If anything it is clusterfuckery that provides cracks in the wall of the mastermindfuckery political agenda. That, and the legal structure of the USA whereby states have powers to sidestep some of the top-down pressures to “gleichschalten”—get into lockstep with the political program, whatever it is.

        Fauci is not “hapless”; rather he is a pretty big cog in the wheel. But one with his own limited agenda. Calling Gates et al. “cartoonish villains” is a real mistake, a category error. Namely, creates a false category and then assesses reality on the basis of the false category. This is just as bad, and misleading, as creating, say, the false category “deadly virus.” Category errors hinder analysis.

        Discounting the power and reach of these people on the basis of a personal aesthetic filter whereby they are assumed to be powerless cartoons is not intellectually rigorous. It is the same mistake made by Ron Unz in trivializing the Davos crowd as “James Bond villains” (because Schwab has a German accent! come on!). This to me is like perceiving gain-of-function research as “sci-fi fantasy” and therefore disdaining to discuss or understand it. Unfortunately, GOF research is a “thing.” It is real.

        So far we lack a penetrating analysis of the relationship between international “masterminds” (to use JHK’s term) and national actors who impose the new rules nationally (elimination of some heads of state who reject the jabs is certainly thought-provoking . . .). Waving away the existence or potency of the international masterminds does not further the task of getting behind the curtain and understanding the script for creation of a cult that supports the new rules (see Mark Crispin Miller’s video on the sophistication of the propaganda campaign [at Off Guardian]).

        It does not help the cult resisters to understand and formulate effective responses to the operation under way. So far the main response in the USA seems to be self-preservation and “keep a low profile.” So far I don’t see a political response, as in France and other countries where they are rioting against the vax passports.

        People like Whitney Webb, Catherine Austin Fitts, and Reiner Fuellmich are trying to get behind the curtain and expose the workings of the masterminds.

        The fact that vax passports are being called “green passports” is telling, IMO. Conscious and subconscious linking to the New Green Deal agenda. The extent to which vax passports are labeled green passports is a possible indicator of international mastermind-color-revolution-fuckery.

            And yeah, the same people who scolded us for years for using plastic bags now tell us we have to use them because cloth grocery bags are dirty.

          Where did you see the CDC admit to long-term problems? It’s a red flag that people are being asked to mask up again but if they’re talking about harm that’s a big deal.

          I read today that Mexico has got the good sense to keep these shots away from children until more is known. That’s one of the most sickening features of this whole charade for me but so many people are just going along with it. Why couldn’t they just wait?

          • Night Owl July 31, 2021 at 11:02 am #

            The mass hypnosis via the media and the fear. Covid has become a cult. No amount of evidence or sense has much of any impact.

            The masks are coming back because they are a form of trauma-based conditioning.

      Great, now consider: Individual vary. Some variations prove advantageous allowing the individual to live and thrive, thus passing on their genes. In a given environment, individuals with those advantageous characteristics will come to dominate – thus race is born. And thus its importance.

      You were sold a lie, right?

      In the North, high IQ proved important. In the South, it was never called into existence. Thus? Thus the fair races are usually smarter than the dark. Is it fair? That’s not a scientific question. We deal with what is. What should be is another, later question.

      In West Africa, speed was evidently important. Thus they are the best sprinters in the world.

    Events outside US- Europe are looming large, too. For example, Taliban is poised to take over Afghanistan, and their first act appears to be forming an alliance with China. On the agenda: Chinese state construction company building a series of coal fired power plants inside Afghanistan.

        Wow, the Sik Road, sounds like something from Marco Polo’s time; but here it is, still with us, and not only still with us but a concept of some importance. It reminds me of Paul Theroux in his book ‘Riding the Iron Rooster’, about his journey around China, commenting theses steam powered choo choo trains China never abandoned would still be around and working long after every piece electronic junk (computers, cell phones) in Asia, Europe and the Americas was buried in a landfill.

    • Blackbird July 31, 2021 at 6:23 pm #

      If I remember correctly, the mineral trade and a proposed pipeline connecting China and Afghanistan were a two of the reasons we had to go in there and smash everything up.

      We smash, China waits calmly. Who wins that game? After answering that question, ya gotta ask: who’s side are “we” really on?

    Several bombshells this week, including hard evidence that Fauci knew Rendesivir killed, and that he purposefully madated it while claiming Hydroxychloroquine was dangerous.

    It would appear that Fauci and co. have with premeditation killed hundereds of thousands of people.

      • Sean Coleman July 31, 2021 at 6:26 pm #

        Yes, all iln plain sight. Jimmy Savile was famously described as spending ‘every waking moment’ planning his next crime and that he committed them all In Plain Sight. Yet nobody saw anything until he was dead and no longer able to sue. A notorious Guardian editorial from Feb 2015 conjectured that he got away with it because his crimes were so outrageous that all those people who saw them could not believe what they were seeing. (The same article also suggested digging up Jimmy’s body so the furious public could vent its anger on it, as had happened with Cromewll hundreds of years earlier.)

        The Holocaust was also committed In Plain Sight, or at least that is the usual explanation. Like all of these things the story changes from one moment to the next without rhyme or reason. Six million were gassed In Plain Sight yet nobody actually noticed. And then: the whole German people is guilty because they let it happen under their noses and did nothing to stop it (many a 68-er radical broke for good with their fathers because of it). An then: it was a closely kept secret, hidden under code-words and euphemisms. Only Hitler and the Pope knew (Pope John Paul II was later guilty of causing African AIDS because he banned condoms). But then Raoul Hilberg, author of the definitiive The Destruction Of Europe’s Jews, admitted twice (the second time under unexpected strong cross-questioning at the Zundel trial) that he had not documentary evidence for Hitler having ordered it; it was all “an incredible meeting of minds, a consensus mind-reading by a far-flung bureaucracy”.

        I am wandering again but that reminds me of two things. Matthew Dreyfus learnt about a serious flaw in the prosecution of his brother for treason when it was revealed by a telepathic Normandy peasant woman whom a Le Havre doctor had put him in contact with. And a senor Italian Christian Dem. politician learnt about crucial evidence relating to the abduction of Aldo Moro when it was spelt out for him on a ouija board!

      Fauxi may have nudged out Hitler’s body count. Think of how many he killed via AIDs, (and is still killing), plus how many have died because of the lockdowns and losing businesses, etc., and now how many are dying of the vaccines.

      Almost immeasurable.

      • Night Owl July 31, 2021 at 10:49 am #

        It is pretty incredible, but I agree with Disaffected that it probably won’t matter.

        The big moves have started now that multiple private-sector entities are trying to force the vax (more CONSPIRACY come to life).

        We are in the final stretch before it all goes down. Dunno what is going to turn it around, TBH. But I remain hopeful.

          They cut it from YT as I was watching it yesterday. The second time that has happened to me recently.

          The Belgian psychologist who follows Bryan Ardis is very interesting. He looks at it in terms of mass psychology (I discuss my reservations briefly in an earlier comment above). His explanation of the resistance of he true believers to the now blindingly obvious facts and evidence is persuasive: the narrative provides a focus that distracts them from their anxiety and they will believe anything (and perhaps do anything) to avoid having to return to it. This is very close to what I have been saying about collective fantasy.

    A national vaccine requirement is “not under consideration at this time,” Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Friday. Jean-Pierre also stated that “we are not going to head towards a lockdown.”

    Translation: A national vaccine requirement is guaranteed, and soon. And we are absolutely going to head towards another lockdown.

    These people are just terrible liars, and it’s so transparent. Anything they say, always presume the opposite, and you’ll be right.

      HTF can they require everyone to get vaccinated? There are legitimate concerns about the long-term safety of the virus, point #1. Since the fatality rate is so low, the virus cannot be considered an existential crisis, point #2. It would be an unprecedented action, point #3. The feds don’t have enough muscle to enforce it, point #4.

      If they are foolhardy & arrogant enough to try, the break-up of this country is certain/

      • Disaffected July 31, 2021 at 3:29 pm #

        They’ll keep ramping up the propaganda scare tactics and drawing more an more people in. Then – actually now – they’ll ramp up the economic pressure on everyone who has a job or receives a pension of any kind. Then they’ll sit back and let good old social pressure go to work. Then after all that they’ll finally have the political will top pass legislation and that will be that. There will be a few holdouts, sure, but they’ll basically be outlaws and social pariahs at that point, and they won’t be able to get any kind of medical services (among other things) at that point whatsoever. Once they pass the vaxx “passport,” which will actually be MUCH more than that, the game will be completely over. Everything, including your bank accounts, utilities, ability to shop, medical care, and everything else will be dependent on you complying with their dictates. All “for your own good,” of course.

        At that point, “the country” as we once knew it will be virtually unrecognizable and the phrase “political dissent” will no longer be in the lexicon. There will simply be compliant and non-compliant (both huge buzz words in corporate speak right now), and absolutely no one will be allowed to be non-complaint for long. They will simply be Canceled in the fullest sense of the word.

      Wow MrMango—those are exactly my thoughts. I could have said them myself.

        One of my off sites I support has a worker named Dan who is on his second or third bout with Brain cancer.
        They have removed parts of his skull and brain, he has had Chemo and radiation therapy and to top it off the skin grafts died on top of his head. They put in some kind of mesh to cover where his skull bones used to be and has walked around and yes gone back to work with the mesh exposed leaking yellow fluid from his skull.
        He runs around with a beanie on.
        To be fair he has one of the best attitudes I have ever seen for someone going through so much pain and heart ache.
        He showed me the medical experiment and I suggested he should not give up and live life to the fullest.
        He agreed and went back to work.

        • SoftStarLight July 31, 2021 at 2:47 pm #

          Well. Late last week I was outside and this cat came walking up directly to me from out of the woods and was meowing really loud. Like an I’m in trouble cry really. And it was late so I really couldn’t see her until she got closer to me and she was basically like a skeleton. And so I immediately brought her food and water and she ate like a ravenous beast lol. But long story short since that time until last night she was basically hanging out on the back porch and she was regaining her strength and filling out again. And she was playing and rolling around and happy. I think she is probably a year old. But anyhow, I can’t keep another cat as I already have two that are strays too. So I had to give her away last night and she will have a good home. But I miss seeing her out there and the whole thing kinda just got me down you know.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder July 31, 2021 at 4:20 pm #

            Sorry to hear.

            About 6-7 years ago we had a stray kitty show up on our porch, sleeping on my golf clubs. Had been beat up pretty bad by a feral tom.

            We took him in, named him Kevin, brought him to the vet, the whole deal.

            Then he kept pissing on the couch. Like from the top down. On purpose.

            Luckily, I am not a cat guy, so it was pretty easy to take him to the shelter. Hope he found a good home.

          • SoftStarLight July 31, 2021 at 4:58 pm #

            Awww hopefully he did. Shelters can be scary because you never know if they will be euthanized if they don’t get adopted.

          • Yohannon July 31, 2021 at 5:33 pm #

            I can sympathize. My love for cats is beyond my understanding. They’re one of the best things in this sorry world. Each one is precious and unique. Hopefully you will see her again in Heaven.

            Mango: He may have been marking his territory. I helped a very high level alpha Tom who wanted to move in with me. He found a way in and was happily wandering around the house spraying everything. Just one of the reasons he couldn’t stay.

    Well, ladies and germs;

    Newsmax (a site you can trust) is reporting that megacorporation Disney is mandating that all it’s non-union employees wear masks during work at all Disney facilities.

    https://www.newsmax.com/finance/streettalk/covid-disney/2021/07/30/id/1030639/

    Union workers, however, are not affected by this mandate.

    This shows, beyond any shadow of doubt, that non-union workers, nothing more than scabs, are usually diseased, and that they must be shunned, hence the mandate.

    When you make your next trip to the Magic Kingdom, you will be allowed, perhaps even encouraged, to point derisively at the filthy-and-guilt -ridden working poor, and comment on their cheap shoes, goodwill duds, and other evidence of poor life choices.

    Our Haji friends will also be encouraged to re-enact the “throwing of the Jamarat” when encountering those masked unfortunates..be sure to bring a sufficient supply of pebbles if you wish to participate.

    • Yohannon July 31, 2021 at 12:07 pm #

      National Park Rangers must wear masks in remote areas. Racoons fully approve seeing it as a stamp of approval if not favoritism.

      • MaryQueen July 31, 2021 at 1:00 pm #

        Bingo.

        Masks have always been nothing but punative. A lot of people don’t realize, it started with medical centers years ago. When I worked for a Memory Care facility for a year, we had to get the flu shot or wear a mask for 5 months.

        They obviously know it does nothing. It’s just another way to control people.

        • Disaffected July 31, 2021 at 3:13 pm #

          It’s a visual indicator of subservience and compliance. I bought one of the “faux masks” last time around, with open mesh that’s so wide open that it’s like wearing nothing at all. Didn’t wear it then, cause I didn’t want to inflame people needlessly, but it will be the only one I wear from now on.

          • Blackbird July 31, 2021 at 7:06 pm #

      Nobody listens to those twats any more, Yo. Even the Covidiots are largely going about their business without fuss. The government is the problem. They’re the ones, along with the media, that keep pushing this fear porn 24/7 and threatening the population with stuff.

      We had all of this in the run up to Brexit but we prevailed. Covid fatigue is setting in. They’re getting desperate and the cracks are beginning to show.

      Unbelievable.

      Most notable is that after sixteen months, they still offer no advice on how to maintain and strengthen your immune system, which should be the number one subject in the media if we have a pandemic they want to save us from.

      I’ve ranted about this before, but they offer not a word about exercise, rest, sunlight, vitamins or zinc on their websites or in their statements. It’s still just “masks, vaccines, stay away from each other and wash your hands”.

      Two weeks, let’s do this folks! Go team!

        I agree, I watch the Darkhorse podcast, and they said getting sunlight, being outside, getting fresh air helps, and don’t need a mask outside. The studies from South Korea and Taiwan show that being over weight, obese, high blood pressure, high glucose levels, Diabetic 2 attracted the Covid, and that older folks who were thin and in shape fought it off more easily, even the flu.

    Anglin:

    It’s very frustrating to read the news every day and have it all just be things that I predicted months or over a year ago. I’m sure it’s frustrating to the reader that has been following along as well.

    The thing to understand here is that this was always an agenda, from the beginning, with a goal at the end of it. It was always about destroying people’s independent businesses to make them dependent on the government, it was about getting people to surrender all of their rights to the government, and it was about forcibly injecting people with strange gene therapy concoctions.

    Right now, there is a “narrative glitch,” where they are saying both that the vaccine will save everyone so everyone needs to get the vaccine, and also that the vaccine doesn’t really even work at all, and we have to go back to March of 2020. The reason for this “clash of narratives” is that they expected more people to surrender to the vaxx. If the majority of people surrender to the vaxx, they can’t take it out of their bodies, so they are completely committed to the agenda. We’ve seen that situation in Iceland, where the government has admitted the vaxx doesn’t do anything and so the vaxxed population has to go back into lockdown.

    In America, not enough people have taken the vaxx, so they can’t yet admit that the vaxx is useless – if they do, it will be very hard to force the rest of the people to take it. So what they are doing is combining the two narratives, and saying that the unvaxxed are to blame for the vaxx not working.

    But they are so far behind schedule that you are going to see them coming out and admitting the vaxx doesn’t work.

    RT:

    The CDC has released a study backing up its decision to recommend indoor masking for both vaccinated and unvaccinated Americans. The study examined one outbreak and found three-quarters of people testing positive were vaccinated.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revised its masking guidelines on Tuesday, urging all Americans in areas with high Covid-19 transmission to mask up when indoors, regardless of vaccination status. Mask mandates in companies, government departments, and certain local jurisdictions followed, as CDC Director Rochelle Walensky insisted the decision was made on the back of fresh scientific evidence.

    We satirize this “science” thing, but it really is identical to a situation where priests claim to be talking to spirits. No one else has access to the “science” they claim to be using. You can of course read the papers they publish, but the data itself is closed.

    Most of it is based on the PCR testing regime, which they have previously admitted they can easily manipulate by adjusting the number of cycles they use on it.

    That said, it would make sense that people who have taken the vaxx would be developing new health problems.

    The CDC cited the Cape Cod example – something that we reported on nearly two weeks ago.

    The CDC released that evidence on Friday. In a study of 469 cases of Covid-19 that broke out in the resort town of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, earlier this month, 74% occurred in “fully vaccinated persons.” Four out of five patients hospitalized were fully vaccinated, and on average the inoculated had completed their two rounds of doses only 86 days before infection.

    The cases studied occurred in people vaccinated primarily with Pfizer and Moderna shots, with a smaller number having received Johnson & Johnson’s one-dose jab. No one vaccine was singled out as providing better or worse protection, and none appeared to prevent symptoms from developing. Some 79% of vaccinated patients were symptomatic, the study noted.

    Lab testing revealed that 90% of all the Cape Cod infections involved the Delta variant of the coronavirus.

    The “delta variant” is a complete hoax. What they do is take a positive test and then run it through again, and this process is so absurd and convoluted that it cannot possibly be considered “scientific.”

    However, they are saying that the people are developing “symptoms” – i.e., they’re actually sick – which to me says that the vaxx is causing people to get sick.

    The sickness that the vaxxed are getting could actually be deadly. So this would then explain why the British Sage is saying that it is possible that a “variant” with a 35% death rate will emerge – because it is possible that the vaxxed will develop a disease that kills 35% of them!

    This is getting to a very precarious time in the agenda. So it’s logical that they are really going to start getting brutal.

    Yoho: Anglin at his usual great. The CDC is a Priesthood which talks to spirits. The sultry and emotional Walensky, is the High Priestess of the Oracle. The spirits talk through her. The secular oracle, Psaki, who channels Joe Biden, didn’t even try to explain the contradiction when asked by Doocey. She just referenced the CDC and said, we believe and obey and so must you.

    Soylent Green? It’s people.
    Delta Variant? It’s the vaccine.

    Malone seemed to think that Pfizer was the most dangerous, but I’m not sure why though.

    Most people have are too extraverted to even notice that the CDC has a narrative contradiction. That the vaccines work great and are failing spectacularly at the same time. If it is pointed out to them, they will go into double think and attack you for making them make the effort of double think.

    Should people like that be voting? No. Thus popular Democracy is contraindicated. See how far we have come with just a few words?

    • O.G. Hawkins July 31, 2021 at 1:28 pm #

      People’s votes stopped mattering a long time ago, Yoho.

      • Yohannon July 31, 2021 at 1:37 pm #

        • Disaffected July 31, 2021 at 3:08 pm #

          Caught between a rock and a very hard place, we are, YoYo. The people have been so completely propagandized that a majority they can no longer discern the truth – never mind effectively act on it – and the “priesthood” of academics and authorities have been so completely corrupted they can no longer be trusted in the least. I can only conclude that an epic collapse is in the offing before things can even possibly get better, and I think the odds are exceedingly long on that as well.

    Just as Q shares the exploits of his BiL Peter, below is a slightly modified version of the eMail that I sent to The Cabal this morning.

    FYI – The Cabal currently consists of 22 scumbags.* Including the CCed firm partners, the eMail thread is 37 people, mostly bar-members.

    Jude, Josh, Marysa & Herrod are not their Real names.

    Duck is my BiL’s nickname. All other names are Real proven, life-destroying criminals. In fact, some have open criminal investigations ongoing as I post this. TruStory

    While I post this for entertainment purposes only, please do feel free to contact the Law Society of Ontario demanding that Raymond Goddard, Mel Hoppe, Lucia Lam, Avra Rosen and Sophie Hills be Justly disbarred for their proven beyond shadow of doubt crimes.

    Hey, RL!

    —————

    Jude,

    I still do not understand. I promise, simply provide me with a copy of the “one of [my] hook-up eMails” evidence that you, Applicant, have owed me, Respondent, since Nov. 22, 2017 and I will immediately sign for the release of the education funds that I earned and saved for Josh & Marysa. Your actions make no sense.

    Why do you refuse to provide “evidence” when it is against the Law, psychologically damaging and against the welfare of your own children?

    In the parlance of the day, WTF?

    What is your upside in continuing your crime? You make your Legal situation worse and worse to protect those crooked snakes [Ontario Family Law] who used you to profit on all of this misery that we have all endured!

    And you call yourself smarter than I?

    Does not compute! [1960s Hollywood Robot Voice]

    ——-

    We all know why all of us have endured a 44-month (and counting) stand-off. All the scumbags in The Cabal know The Truth. This conspired and colluded fabricated fraudulent “evidence” cannot possibly be provided to Respondent ever because it was fabricated in conspiring collusion.

    Time is on my side
    Yes it is!
    Time is on my side
    Yes it is!

    Jude, Mr Mark Burch did you a grave disservice while continuing his march on The Highway to Hell. You were probably looking at me in my Regina Zoom window but you should’ve seen the look on that bold-faced liar’s lying face.

    “You don’t have a Right to see that [document used as claimed evidence with your counsel and Opposition at Mediation].”

    “Yes I Do!”

    Mr Mark Burch did you a grave disservice, Jude. You are marching on The Highway to Hell, little dirl.

    BTW, Mr Mark Burch sure seemed up-to-speed on this “evidence” owed me for over 44 months for a negligent (at Best) Dispute Resolution Officer who claims to have never read Respondent’s dusputes. Kinda fishy but ultimately helps God separate the Good from the Damned.

    Marysa, I gave your Mother and you kids fair, Just, principled Peace splitting up my once-in-a-lifetime 22-year career in The Bigs.

    I gave your Mother $1,000,000 and Peace in September 2015.

    Your Mother took the $1,000,000 and then declared War. The net result is us 4, cumulatively, are out over $850,000 and counting for your Mother’s lies, reneges, deceits, crimes and Human Rights Violations against your Father.

    You should still be able to climb your favourite tree and sleep in your old bedroom and jump in your own pool whenever you like in a normal, healthy relationship with your Father in your childhood home 5 minutes from where you live.

    Instead, Raymond Goddard drives a Porsche on nice days and an Escalade on the rest while Sophie Hills took her Dad on a Mediterranean cruise back before The Covids. Avra Rosen got my Alberta money while Lucia Lam climbs the ladder to fast-tracked firm partnership.

    Sad but True.

    ——-

    Jude, while you were smugly committing all of your lies, reneges, deceits, crimes and Human Rights Violations deploying your The Secret witchcraft Powers, I kept warning you, “God knows you.”

    You are in Big trouble, little dirl. Big, Big trouble.

    TruStory

    ——-

    You know what? I am prepared to offer you 1 final settlement deal:

    Seeing how Justice [sic] David Salmers was “no nonsense” in me keeping half or all ownership of the Biggest asset of my life while ridiculous imputation demands (of a brand new career in my 50s!) were sorted out and, instead, unJustly forced the liquidation thereof with a government-decried MLS-listing of my mortgage-free house by Labour Day 2016, I now give you, Jude, a deadline of Labour Day 2021 to tell The Truth.

    You have until Monday, 9/6, midnight. Is that witchy enough for you? It is even a New Moon.

    You provide a sworn affidavit of the crimes that you participated in with my counsel against me before your deadline and I will ensure that you are not criminally charged. Herrod, too. And I won’t even try for Duck.

    That’s it. That is my last Settlement Offer. You should have seen the look on Mr Mark Burch’s smug little face, LaLa. I do have the Right to this “evidence” under Law in Canada. We all know that.

    ‘I must say, I don’t go for that story, even if that trio have played their parts in some wicked doings du jour. Rather, I subscribe to the latter scenario: the likelihood that we’re in a pile-up of quandaries that we can only pretend to manage, and that all our pretenses of control and management only make things worse, while making a mockery of human ingenuity. This does not rule out an element of personal greed and attempted power-mongering, but look, for instance, at where all that has left the hapless Dr. Fauci.’ JHK

    I think that is the case, Jim. The significant, overarching issues of the time can’t be adequately addressed because of the shortsighted, self serving, dueling, disparate political parties, with Republicans, including Trump, always lacking an adequate offense, but just about ready to be thrown into the oubliette. Graham warns Trump about a pardon for the ‘rioters’, while Trump himself is now nothing less than a nut swingin’ applejack, although his situation may soon change.

    Same with the Covid. It has become one colossal clusterfuck of crisis, confusion, calamity, and coercion, but not one of clandestine camarillas. The road to hell has been paved with them, but I believe that the intentions were essentially good from the start, in spite of the marlinspike money making machine. The main take away from the Covid should be–there’s a great big fat chink in our American armor.

    One of the other current quandaries is the eviction moratorium or lack thereof, with millions at risk of losing their homes. Millions? Wow!

    ‘State and local governments have struggled to distribute the $46.5 billion in rental assistance, with only 6.5 percent sent to landlords and tenants as of the end of June.’ Yeah, what pockets to put that money into.

    ‘A coalition of 14 industry groups representing property owners and operators, developers and mortgage lenders fired off a letter to lawmakers late Thursday night urging them to “end the unsustainable nationwide federal restrictions on property operations” and instead focus on accelerating the distribution of rental aid.’ Make sense? Too much sense, I guess.

    But the homeless problem is getting worse, from D.C. to San Francisco. If you care to get a better feel for their plight, read something like “Another Bullshit Night in Suck City” by Nick Flynn.

    “It is only by not paying our bills that we can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes.” Oscar Wilde

    Will this vigorous, voodoo economy explode like a volcano? Will there be a ‘bank holday’ coming soon? When will the magic currency carpet careen and crash? More and more questions awaiting answers from enlightened economists. Helicopter Ben said, before the last crash, “The impact on the broader economy and financial markets of the problems in the subprime markets seems likely to be contained.” Oh yeah, he nailed that one. Ice Nine may arrive just in time for Winter.

    Stretching the corporate reach with ease, politicians, bankers and ministers grease the global gears with Obama Socialist sleaze.

    The larger issue, Obama’s radical transformation of America seems incapable of being dealt with. Millions upon millions see what’s happening on the border, in our schools, and in our justice system, but are frozen in place, unable to act. Can they really still believe that their vote will change things, that taking back the House, for example, will make things right? The Deep State and the Dems are working from the bottom up and the top down, until the only place left will be a pit in the middle. Or the pendulum.

    Was Humpty Dumpty pushed? We are certainly falling, having been pushed hard by the Wizards of Woke as they watch us drop into that deep, demonic hole of almost no control. If we hit bottom like Humpty, try picking up the pieces.

    “A revolution without a prior reformation would collapse or become a totalitarian tyranny. A reformation means that masses of our people have reached the point of disillusionment with past ways and values. They don’t know what will work but they do know that the prevailing system is self-defeating, frustrating, and hopeless. They won’t act for change but won’t strongly oppose those who do. The time is then ripe for revolution.”

    ‘By way of deception.’ One of thousands of propaganda pieces designed to wear down your hesitancy.

    https://www.chop.edu/centers-programs/vaccine-education-center/vaccine-safety/antibody-dependent-enhancement-and-vaccines

    Aimed at the layman (& laywoman), it’s a succinct & informative article on the subject of ADE. Until you get to the last paragraph:

    Can the new COVID-19 vaccines cause ADE?

    Neither COVID-19 disease nor the new COVID-19 vaccines have shown evidence of causing ADE.

    The verdict is still out on the vaccines.

    People infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, have not been likely to develop ADE upon repeat exposure. This is true of other coronaviruses as well.

    Is any reputable authority making this claim?

    Likewise, studies of vaccines in the laboratory with animals or in the clinical trials in people have not found evidence of ADE.

    It’s premature to make this claim, but the general run of people don’t apply critical thinking skills. If my health seriously deteriorated, I might consider getting a vaccine, but only after it had gone through a normal vetting process. This normally takes many years.

    It has all the earmarks of a cult phenomenon. People jettison reason & logic under such circumstances. It reminds me of the Jonestown tragedy. Will it come to hiding in the jungle?

    • Slugoon July 31, 2021 at 3:31 pm #

      What are the vax stats in the USA, about 50% of adults done? I think it’s not much more that in the UK. Everyone who wants one will have got one. That means almost half of the population either don’t want one or are at least sceptical.

      We’re still doing okay.

      I wonder what the vaxxed now think of the fact that they’ve got to wear masks again. That they’re still transmitting it. That the small number of deaths are not showing and statistical benefit of vaccination. Of the data out of Israel. That they need boosters because the first two aren’t doing the job.

      How many will say “no more” after the first two and turn on these fucking psychopaths?

      • Night Owl July 31, 2021 at 3:58 pm #

        They last claimed 49.7 percent or thereabouts. Ofc, with the stats released by various woke pollsters, agencies, and other sources you should usually subtract or add about 20 percent depending on what narrative you know they are trying to feed you.

      • O.G. Hawkins July 31, 2021 at 4:09 pm #

        They did not get this far to be caught with their pants down.

        They have plans for us unjabbed. These plans for us unjabbed are not Good for us. Not 1 speck.

        • Dr_Wellington_Yueh July 31, 2021 at 4:31 pm #

          Their plans included using our devious respect for private property against us!

          We unjabbed have plans for those who attempt to coerce us. Let your imagination run wild.

      • KappaJoe July 31, 2021 at 6:06 pm #

        Watch very carefully their use of the term, “fully vaccinated” when citing who or who does not succumb to the putative delta variant, especially note the inclusion of the weasel word, “fully”.

        To them, this means only those who received both shots (and in future, any and all “boosters”) are “fully vaccinated”.

        This means that anyone who took the first shot and didn’t take the second (for a variety of reasons, though almost certainly adverse reaction related) is not “fully vaccinated” and this potentially large group, the partially vaccinated, will show up in their stats as “not fully vaccinated”.

        Thus, they will be lumped in by the criminal medical and media communities with the unvaccinated and thereby inflate any and all data of the unvaccinated where, in reality, nearly all the delta variant illness and death among the unvaccinated should likely and rightly be attributed to the “partially vaccinated”.

        • Disaffected July 31, 2021 at 7:27 pm #

          Stands to reason. Un-vaccinated now, not-fully vaccinated next.

    • O.G. Hawkins July 31, 2021 at 4:19 pm #

      Are pro-Corona protests ok?

      And, of course, by “protest” I mean “do what we’re told while wearing a mask.”

      • Night Owl July 31, 2021 at 4:45 pm #

        Sure, but it is far worse than that. The example used here to highlight the severity of the situation is that they allowed massive gatherings to celebrate “pride” very recently. Few wore the face rag and thousands of people were shoulder-to-shoulder in various city centers. Anything that conforms to New Normal narratives is fine.

        The August 1 protest, however, is outlawed as Corona critics are now political enemies of the state.

            Tomorrow is going to be a litmus test. I fully expect brutality on the part of the authorities, but if the crowd is large enough, perhaps we will see something remarkable.

            In Italy, they had cops marching with the protesters in the end, and the French are outdoing everyone.

        As far as I know, all ASEAN countries are turning down the screws, hard, without actually forcing vaccination. The authorities here are accustomed to brutalizing the average citizen, even in purported “democracies” like Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. So there is no compunction about strong-arming average people.

        You want to fly? Proof of vaccination. You want to cross on the ferry from Merak, West Java to Bakauheni, Lampung Province (Sumatra)? Go to Bali by any transport at all? Must be vaccinated.

        A lot of people I know (mostly hillbillies in West Java, like yours truly) are simply uninterested in vaccination as they are uninterested in just about anything the government attempts to offer. The general response to “Hello, I’m from the government, and I’m here to help you” is to think “How much is this going to cost me to wiggle out of?”

        Now with massive and expensive public health campaigns in gear those in charge are encountering the same passive resistancein spite of their sincere [for once] effort to “help” the public. Singapore is a tiny city / state but even there the authorities are finding evasion, if not resistance.

    • KappaJoe July 31, 2021 at 6:17 pm #

      So, instead of an anti-Corona protest, call it what it actually is: an anti-Totalitarian protest.

      It’s all semantics at this point, and you can rightly accuse the German government of being anti-semantic if they disallow anti-Totalitarian demonstration.

    • Wizard of the Saddle August 3, 2021 at 11:52 am #

        Did you read BRH post about the rent situation in Conn. Democrats do not understand money, all the way to the top. They think that government has an infinite supply of money. It never occurs to them that inflation is the result. It will be a humdinger this time.

        Mary, lockdowns, rent controls do not work. Yeah, it takes the pressure off the low income dwellers, but someone has to pay the freight eventually. The end of the line are the banks, no one pays the mortgages, they go down. Is this a way for the government to break the banks? If so, 2008 is going to be a piddling thing compared to what is coming.

        Like so many other things, there is no solution. Just consequences.

            I believe it is worse than that. You think the banks run the country. Yep. But guess what, the country runs the banks too. 2008 Emmanuel Bros found that out as the were sacrificed. Many mortgage cos have gone under since 2008. Who owns the debt of the government, who controls the interest rates at the central and other banks,

            The government controls the banks, the governments debt is held by the banks, the banks go, the government goes. And vice versa. Obama was owned by the banks, Trump thought he could out business the banks and the current regime is again owned by the banks.

            Who owns the banks, the government really? Or something much bigger than the country. We know the cartels and their enforcement gangs control the cities. We know that outside forces are funding the takeover of city governments. We know that outside forces are funding Antifa. Who funds the leverage requirements to keep the whole mess afloat. A book I read last year had the conclusion that the illicit trades around the world were fulfilling that function leading with the southern border. Now, I wonder why they do not want it closed?

            Who owns who now? Not as simple as the banks run the country. And guess what, with the government of Canada where it is, you are probably farther down the takeover pike as the USA.

    @Slugoon

    Just wanted to say thank you to you and a couple of others for your kind words on the previous thread, wondering where I’d gone.

    I am unfortunately quite unwell. I think it is psychosomatic – anxiety always goes straight to my stomach. Have lost a stone in weight in less than a month due to almost constant nausea. It keeps me from doing almost everything, so commenting isn’t an option just now, although I do look in, which of course keeps my anxiety levels high …

    I have always avoided horror films and wondered how people can watch stuff like that, and here I am trapped in a horror movie.

    All the best in the meantime.

    • SoftStarLight July 31, 2021 at 5:24 pm #

      Oh my gosh Alba! Sorry to hear that you have been unwell. Please do take care of yourself!! Sometimes it is best to just take a break from things so nothing wrong with that. I hope that you get to feeling better very soon!

      • GreenAlba July 31, 2021 at 6:02 pm #

        Thank you SSL. 🙂

    • MaryQueen July 31, 2021 at 5:28 pm #

      That’s not good to hear, GA.

      I also suffer from bouts of anxiety. Some things that have helped me immensely are increasing my exercise and weaning myself off of coffee. Best, if you can find an exercise pool and move around in water.

      And staying away from social media is very wise.

      Hoping for you to feel better soon.

      • GreenAlba July 31, 2021 at 6:10 pm #

        Thank you Mary. It took me months to accept how things are, as you know, so I guess it was going to hit hard.

        Exercise would be good but sadly one of my symptoms means I can only walk round the block before panicking that my body won’t carry me back if I go any further.

        My husband is being helpful in relieving me of having to cook, but as regards the source of the anxiety, he says he ‘just can’t go there, with theories like that – I’ve got to be able to function’.

        I can’t really blame him. If it took me months it’s impossible to dump everything on someone from scratch. My daughters don’t believe me either, although both are concerned.

        But thank you for your kind thoughts.

        • GreenAlba July 31, 2021 at 6:15 pm #

          Hubby lost a younger brother to suicide decades ago. There is a tendency to depression – I don’t think he could cope. But it makes it harder. I’m terrified he’ll just take the booster in due course too, on top of anxiety about my daughters and grandson.

            RL has a point. I also would like things stated plainly to me like I’m a six year old. Otherwise, my imagination may leap to conclusions. For example:

            “Thank you Mary. It took me months to accept how things are, as you know, so I guess it was going to hit hard.”

            What does that mean? What is “how things are”? And what hit hard?

            I can offer a guess. But I want to hear how others interpret this.

          • Tate August 1, 2021 at 12:00 pm #

            Well, tough titties, Muller. Nobody owes you the favor of having things explained to you like you’re a child. Reminds me of all these entitled victims of so-called “systemic racism” moaning about these constant microaggressions they’re subjected to ‘Every-Day-Of-The-Week’, LOL. ‘Exhausting.’ In their opinion, they should be treated like little princesses. Not saying you’re one of them, but get a grip, man. Green Alba says MaryQ knows, so it’s not that obscure. I knew immediately what she was talking about.

            In a nutshell, GA got the jab, but after doing further reading & listening to podcasts & so on, now she’s having regrets. I was talking to my brother the other day, and he says he’s having regrets. I’m having regrets that I didn’t try to talk all these folks close to me out of it more forcefully. But things are what they are so screw it.

          • hmuller August 1, 2021 at 8:12 pm #

            Thank you for your gracious answer, Tate. I was concerned for Green Alba and wanted to know what was going on. I suspected side effects to the jab. But she said something about her problems being psychosomatic. So I was confused

            I would hope you know by now I’m not with “the micro-agression, entitled victim, systemic racism, little princess” crowd.

        • elysianfield August 1, 2021 at 11:44 am #

          Alba,
          I am very sorry to hear of your angst. I will offer a suggestion.

          The core tenant of Stoicism is…Concern yourself not with that which you cannot control. I have said before on this site that reading it would make me insane…if I took most of the issues seriously, I’d have lost my peace of mind years ago.

          What? The economy is being destroyed? …Cool.
          The military is being hollowed? Hmmm.
          The Woke are attacking our values and culture? Yes.
          Our minority populations are being weaponized…? OK
          I have been diagnosed with a terminal disease (Old Age)? Yeah
          My only son has a heart and pulmonary condition that will surely shorten his life? Got it.
          Global warming
          Brexit
          China
          Covid
          Inflation…the price of spotted dick is going thru the roof?

          Et Al.

          Accept all as a given. There is nothing we can do about any of it, but to embrace the train wreck, view it dispassionately, and mock it with sarcasm.

          Stoics suggest that the most important thing you can possess is peace of mind.

          Saw an old friend recently…just had a triple-bypass and, at 82 years old very very frail. His wife asked me why I lived deep in a rural area…I replied “peace of mind”.

          She responded “What else is there”?

          I replied, of course “HOOKERS AND BLOW”…brought a smile to my friend’s lips…and this is how I will remember him.

          Advice is cheap, easy to say, but hard to implement. Please think about this poor offering…it does have value.

          In the US Marine Corps, they have a saying…”Embrace the Suck”…good advice.

      Good luck on the mend…

    • Blackbird July 31, 2021 at 8:01 pm #

      I’m sorry to hear you have been hit so hard, Alba. Many have found solace in fantasy. I guess you’re too rational for that (not surprised).

      I don’t think I suffer from anxiety at all. Or maybe I’m in a constant state of anxiety and can’t tell the difference. Hey, you work with what ya got.

      As getsome mentioned earlier, acceptance of death is liberating. And acceptance of death is by no means the desire for death. It’s easier to desire death when one has not accepted it. I think that is what allows me to stare into the abyss without experiencing vertigo. I’m gonna die someday, we all are. That day could be today. Fine, let’s go.

      But how does one lose the Fear of Death? I wish I had advice to offer, but my methods wouldn’t work for you.

      I laugh at Death’s cold, musty breath – until I see that brown bear running up behind me…

      • MaryQueen July 31, 2021 at 8:27 pm #

        Yes I agree.

        I had what Alba has for months during my move. Couldn’t eat, and lost like 10lbs in a month. Just afraid and in existential angst all the time.

        I had to work on stopping being afraid of death, and of the future, etc. and try to live in the present.

        I’m way better now, but it takes a lot of practice (for example, working out why I’m getting the attacks of dread, etc.).

        I think we worry about losing what we have. I am more stable than I’ve ever been, and yet my anxiety was the worst!

        Occasional breathing sessions, if you can’t exercise (because I truly believe that’s what exercise does – forces you to breathe), and yoga, and/or meditation also is a huge help.

        • O.G. Hawkins July 31, 2021 at 8:48 pm #

          I Believe that is part of the reason why I can see things a little askew (ok, a lot askew) from most:

            Quick and painful, that’s one way to Break on through to the other side.

            For some folks, the thought of harm coming to loved ones far outweighs their concern for themselves. I get the impression Alba has a big helping of the former on her plate.

          • Rulo Deschamps August 1, 2021 at 5:34 pm #

            Best of luck to you too, OG. All I can offer to you, since I don’t have God (at least not as you understand Him), is that we’re born with nothing, and leave with nothing, too. Shrouds have no pockets. And there’s blessings in disguise in poverty. Hope you make the best of a bad hand, and always remember: in life, and in sports, there’s always another chance.

        • Blackbird July 31, 2021 at 9:36 pm #

          I was concerned that Alba’s absence was due to the vax. At least existential angst is curable. But for someone that I sense has always strived for an orderly and predictable life, I fear she may find it very difficult to accept the storm that appears to be on the horizon.

          I, in the past year as i hit 59 and working 40 years now as a front line hospital guy in the emergency department, death was closer to me. Even though I went to a Christian school, and was told as long I go to church weekly and contribute Jesus will save me, but I still had anxiety about it. Then by accident I found the book, “Mediations” by a 2000 year old Roman Emperor named Marcus Aurelius and the philosophy he studied called Stoicism and how it helps you organize your life and see that these worries we all have are ancient. The best part, you can be a Stoic and still practice and follow the teachings of Jesus. Read some of the stoics and see how they face our morality, the corruption and fall of the Greek and Roman civilizations.

          • Islander August 1, 2021 at 9:23 am #

            Roccofire:

            Good advice.

            In fact, I recall my mother reading Marcus Aurelius, and now that I think of it, that was after my father had abandoned our family.

            In her childhood/teen-hood my mother had a classical education in a Lyzeum. That is probably why she banged open Marcus Aurelius. Or even owned a book of his writings.

            Here is a relevant pdf.; the actual Meditations start on p. 26:

      • Wizard of the Saddle August 3, 2021 at 12:09 pm #

        BB. In answer to your question, I do not fear death itself. It is merely a return to my previous state of non-existence prior to my birth.

        I think what all people truly feel is (A) Despair that they must check out of this world before completing their respective bucket lists, and (B) Fear of a painful and/or terrifying modality of death.

        Every life is a happenstance fluke of nature and the cosmos. As such, we lucky (?) beneficiaries should seize life by the horns and make of it what we will.

        But like any fortuitous joy ride, it was inevitable from the beginning that it would ultimately come to an end. Acceptance of this certainty goes far towards eradicating the fear of death. Live for today. It is the only logical approach to living your precious gift called Life.

      GA,So sorry to hear that you have been unwell.

      I well understand the anxiety; nowadays I wake up in the morning with a stone in my stomach—that low-level adrenaline load that is probably what ends up causing cancer or some such. Or, perhaps it is our bodies telling us to keep going?

      I once copyedited a book on deep breathing—a whole book basically on the importance of the exhalation!

      We all have our personal anxieties, and now this slowly unrolling horror movie in which we find ourselves makes it very hard to make the kinds of plans by means of which we could move ourselves out of our personal anxiety or practical (e.g., financial) traps.

      Fortunate are those who have a garden to work in!

      Yesterday I cleaned up the bed I planted next to the parking lot of my building, after picking up the litter of plastic coffee cups and ice cream dishes. Something positive to look at . . .

    • Slugoon August 1, 2021 at 12:10 pm #

    ” Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the imbeciles ” (Dostoievski)

        East of Eden
        Steppenwolf

        Sometimes you read (or try to read) a book too early in life and it goes over your head (The Glass Bead Game). Other times you read it too late and ask, “Where you when I needed you?” (Siddhartha). But every once in awhile – wow!

        • MaryQueen July 31, 2021 at 10:18 pm #

          • KappaJoe July 31, 2021 at 11:15 pm #

            “The Tin Drum” is a pretty good analogy these days, as would any period where the population is goose-stepping into Totalitarianism, and it certainly would appear everything’s and everyone’s growth has been stunted.

            But the upside is, sooner or later, the madness ends. After all, who in their right mind fights to the death to establish and sustain a police state, excepting the ignorant, psychopathic, and ignorantly psychopathic?

            …excepting the ignorant, psychopathic, and ignorantly psychopathic?

          That Herman Hesse… “Beneath the Wheel” another great one.

          Siddhartha got me hooked on him for awhile there.

        • Rulo Deschamps August 1, 2021 at 5:50 pm #

          BB, re-reading Siddhartha now, this time not under the influence of LSD. In my distant 20’s, I devoured it, along w Hesse’s other works, Castaneda, Mircea Eliade, Robert Campbell… Terence McKenna was another favorite, corresponded with him for a while.

          Revisiting much of it, now sober, older, is a strange experience.

          • Rulo Deschamps August 1, 2021 at 5:52 pm #

            Bukowski, too (sorry, JHK! Loved that “poetaster” fulmination some time ago!)

          • Blackbird August 1, 2021 at 6:57 pm #

            Funny you mentioned LSD and Hesse. I read Steppenwolf straight through on acid. Well, more lived it than read it.

            Lived Tommy on acid on the big screen after driving through a blizzard at night – woohoo! Almost makes watching movies anymore pointless.

            Kept reading Castaneda even after it became clear he was milkin’ it. Too much of what he described corresponded with my explorations. I think I have identified the plant ingredient in Humito.

            I knew friends of Terrence, but he had checked out 2 years before I met them. Now they’re gone too. Would have been fun to chew through “5 dried grams in the dark” while listening to him talk. Not many people I can listen to for 4, 5, 6 hours. And when he stops, “What, you’re done already?”

        • Rulo Deschamps August 1, 2021 at 10:49 pm #

          BB, so right about Castaneda: it’s almost sure he fabricated his stuff, they say, I dunno, but I know he started milking it after the first 3 books or so… and yet… you say it correctly, what he describes was in sync with what I was experiencing on my own explorations.

          McKenna was a brilliant mind, got a bit carried away w the whole 2012 thing but overall he was a machine gun of insights and mind blowing ideas. JHK got a bit carried away w the 2000 thing, too, and he’s another machine gun I admire. Even with their weak points, authors like them are 1 in a million.

        Toasted cars while nothing around it is burned? WTH kinda technology was used? I am drawing a parallel to this and the fires in CA where only houses burn, but no trees, and also toasted cars.

        It’s just weird. Don’t know what to think.

        • Blackbird July 31, 2021 at 9:43 pm #

          I read an article (didn’t bookmark it, sorry) that pointed out that in photos showing burnt houses, but healthy trees, that the houses were reduced to white ash. That was contrasted with photos showing the results of less-discriminating fires, in which the ash was black.

          There were also photos showing houses left unmolested amidst smoldering ruins. Well, fire is a willful beast. (Warning! Unsubstantiated crazy talk ahead!) Maybe those houses didn’t have “smart” meters?

          Mr. McGowen, would you please come back for a bit and dig into this story for us?

          • Tate July 31, 2021 at 10:41 pm #

            Still not clear what you’re saying. “Less discriminating” implies both kinds are intentional, i.e., arson, since fire itself doesn’t have agency. Couldn’t resist the snark, sorry.

            Was it MTG’s “Jewish space lasers”? Someone call Dr. Judy Wood…

          • Blackbird July 31, 2021 at 11:03 pm #

            Tate, no need to apologize for snark, that would just set a precedent that I don’t intend to follow.

            By “less-discriminating”, I meant that houses, cars, trees, grass, everything that could burn, did. The “discriminating” fires appeared to target houses and cars, but to leave Ma Nature’s goodness (trees, etc.) alone.

            “Legal Disclaimer”:
            Of course noting anomalous events – like fires burning houses but not nearby trees – is pure nut-fudgery and should never be mentioned lest one douse themself with nut-fudge sauce.

            Here are images from a fire in New Zealand last year, at a place in the mountains called Lake Ohau. No space lasers, just a shocking nor-westerly wind on a high summer night. It ripped through the village, leaving many houses untouched and others utterly destroyed.

            I see a lot of burnt grass and trees in those pics Lib. I also see unburnt houses and trees surrounded by devastation. As I mentioned, “fire is a willful beast”. Did I also say that the Jews did it with their space laser? No, guess i forgot to mention that, thanks for the suggestion.

            I have not claimed a cause, I have only pointed out what I consider an unusual occurrence. If I had been more fortunate, another reader might have said, “Yeah, those fires really interested me, so I’ve been digging up all the info I could find for the past year, wrote this white paper, and collected all these links!” But no…

            Blackbird

            My remark and link were really in response to Nutfudge Mary who is finding fire behaviour “weird” (as per her post upthread) and simply pointing out that such “odd” outcomes are not uncommon. The fact that this quite recent “weird” fire was not in the “space laser zone” of north-western USA was intended to reinforce the fact that nature often appears to be strange and doesn’t need a conspiracy to explain it.

          • MaryQueen August 1, 2021 at 10:15 am #

            Yes, Night Owl. Finding someone’s work uncovering anomalies is “Nutfudge” to the wokies who have lost their ability to think critically or be intellectually curious about strange phenomena.

            Notice, all I said was ‘this is interesting’ and that’s enough to be labeled as ‘nutfudge’.

            The wokesters demand that you immediately condemn any and all ideas that don’t come from the mouth of Big Brother. Any straying from that will garner you a two-minutes-hate.

            They roll 1984 style.

          • Blackbird August 1, 2021 at 12:23 pm #

            Encase me in nutfudge if you must Lib, but I agree with Mary when she reads those articles, looks at those photos, and says, “That’s odd.” But now check out this painful bit of mental gymnastics: I also agree with you when you say, “Odd happens.”

            If I were a GIS guy at CPL I’d slap a shapefile of “smart meter” installation over a map of wildfire damage. What would I see? Maybe nothing, but it would be worth the effort, and I’d be done before Outlook has even loaded.

            If I were studying the ionosphere, I’d be cataloguing (or more likely accessing the catalogue already being compiled by others) high-frequency, high-energy transmissions directed at the ionosphere and looking for potential deflections of the jet stream. After all, Bernie Eastlund claimed that the technology that he developed, and upon which HAARP is said to be based, was developed precisely to heat areas of the ionosphere in order to deflect incoming missiles. Maybe he knew a little bit about this technology?

            But I’m neither of those people. I’m just an opinionated dumbass commenting on an entertaining blog, tossing out questions, and sifting through answers. Sometimes I’ll grab a shovel and head out to one of the ol’ rabbit holes myself. I try not to claim to have uncovered the truth, but even I can stick some pottery shards together and occasionally enjoy showing off my handiwork.

            By the way, I know of a whole island made of nutfudge. You want to know where it is, don’t you?

          MQ, re 9/11 and fires,

          Amazing Polly (Polly St. George) has a vid on this, but in connection to the fire that swept through Lytton, BC, the town where Dr. Charles Hoffe had his practice and did tests on those who had bad vaxx reactions and got evidence of micro-clots.

          I always want to hang on to my hat when these types of strong winds are blowing. But I cannot help wondering . . .

          • MaryQueen August 1, 2021 at 10:10 am #

            Oh right – Dr. Hoffe’s fire. OK I will look for Polly’s episode. She does good work.

          • Blackbird August 1, 2021 at 3:21 pm #

            Thanks for the Amazing Polly suggestion on the Lytton BC fires. I’ve stopped by her channel other times, but generally found her presentation style a bit too folksy and slow-paced for my liking. Fine if we’re sitting on her back porch swilling a citrusy Sauvignon Blanc (Spier, white label if ya got it), but when it’s just me and my Mac, alone in the dark, I like the hard stuff, no chaser. When I can get it, I tend to go for text – I can mainline that shit.

            But those lightning strike indictors? There’s a question that needs to be asked. (Take a look Lib, if you’re still buzzing around this topic. You can agree with me, I won’t tell anyone – and you’ll be one step closer to the ferry to Nutfudge Island!) And I like the way she attempts to answer it. Documented, publicly-available sources, and lots of ‘em – and sure, some anecdotes and wild guesses. Asks a lot of questions and seems quite careful when suggesting possible answers. Hard working and organized – she’s a catch alright. But only ~300 subscribers/views? Somebody’s gotta pave that rutted, dirt, logging trail this lady lives on.

            Blackbird,
            “but generally found her presentation style a bit too folksy and slow-paced for my liking. ”

            I like her presentation because it is thoughtful and intelligent, she does not blare and blast and pose and shout like many of the males who do vids, and immediately make thesmelves more or less unwatchable. She doesn’t have any tattoos.

            Basically, however, Polly is simply more intelligent than most of the others in her line of biz, and doesn’t waste time being inarticulate, like, say, Del Bigtree (is that his real name?) or wasting time with dumb-ass Greek chorus, like Jimmy Dore. Polly is highly intelligent and does not pretend to be stupid.

            I don’t “follow” her everywhere she goes—such as the Qanon business—but much of her research is damned good and she has been ahead of the curve on many issues. Her research into the Ukrainian connection/network during the impeachment fiasco was IMO quite brilliant. Her excavation of Fauci/Berx/and other high-level covid connections is also brilliant. Ditto her work on the Epstein/Maxwell/AI/Gates networks of influence.

            She can also think outside the box and do some very interesting dot connection when she is in her “speculative” mode—and she lets you know when she is in that mode. She presents her research, always anchored with screenshots of the stuff she finds, and then she goes a bit further to speculate on what these pivotal figures in positions of global power have planned for the rest of us.

            I do enjoy her ‘no bells and whisltes’ delivery and that she’s not trying sell shit like so many others.

            I’m really glad she was able to move her audience to Bitchute (she has over 100K subscribers).

            YouTube cut off her ability to monetize and then deleted her channel last year, leaving her having to rebuild everything.

            She does good work.

        Thanks for the link, Mary. People who Believe that NASA went 6-for-7 putting men on the moon (and 7-for-7 returning them safely to Earth) using 1960s technology and understanding of “the science,” will always demand:

        “Oh yeah? Well if that’s True then how did they … And why did they …”

        They cannot reach logical conclusions with overwhelming circumstantial evidence. E. Howard Hunt’s son claims that EHH confessed on his death bed to being part of the CiA’s Nov. 22, 1963 JFK hit. You can hand them 20 smoking guns but their little brain says, “It can’t be!”

        We have to know everything they did (even though they have technology that we can only speculate about) and how and why they did it or we’re crazy.

        Those same people are now being taught by their TVs to hate us “selfish” unjabbed. Hate us they will!

    Barnhardt summarizes Dr Hoffe’s video:

    40 trillion mRNA spike protein particles per injection, which spread throughout the entire body

    -Each particle bonds to interior wall of capillaries causing the interior surface of the entire vascular system to become rough like sandpaper instead of the natural smooth blood vessel lining, on the capillary level

    -Body reacts by forming clots and blocking the injured vessels and capillaries. This process is permanent and irreversible

    -Micro-clotting of capillaries is invisible to scans, only the D-Dimer test shows that clotting is happening in the body on a micro level, but not where it is happening

    -Micro-clotting in the lungs causes increased pressure on the right side of the heart which must pump against the blocked capillaries in the lungs. Right side heart failure generally occurs within three years when this pulmonary micro-clotting occurs

    -65% of injected people are returning positive D-Dimer tests

      “Saints of the Last Days”? I’d sign up just for the cool title. But since it’s too late to catch a bus tonight, maybe I should learn more about the position before committing myself to (what I kinda expect to be) apocalyptic mayhem.

      Dr Hoffe seems very credible. Nausea can be one of the symptoms. he mentioned the brain in this regard. Not sure if the heart being attacked has different symptoms. What to do? Aspirin to thin the blood? Might be like using a garden hose against a wild fire. Maybe the herbalists can come up with something, to thin the blood more, or even fight the spikes directly. Our official medical system is completely captured and isn’t interested.

    Mr Trump, it didn’t have to be active duty military – the National Guard could have handled it. But they would have had to have been able to use their rifles. You sent disarmed troops down to “help” on the border. The same publicity stunt Obama did.

    Nixon restored order using the National Guard who fired back when fired upon or threatened with deadly projectiles. In the end, nothing was done, and you looked as weak as a kitten – your ultimate fear.

    As for saving America? That might have taken the actual military. But it was never really a question. You couldn’t even get the National Guard activated.

    Wall Street Journal article

    “Behind the rise in US solar power is a mountain of coal in China.”

    Like Michael Moore’s movie, a total condemnation of renewable energy ever successfully taking over from fossil fuels AND the hope of reducing CO2 emissions.

    GND, what a joke. No wonder nothing ever happens.

        EROI. Alternative energy systems aren’t “sustainable” and nearly all “renewable” technologies have a negative EROI. For wind power, the enormous amount of energy required to build and install windmills will never be made back by the energy produced by the windmill and then you have all the toxic waste. Most of the components are manufactured in China. Solar panels are almost entirely manufactured in China. China’s manufacturing capabilities are built on coal power and finished products are shipped to the US. US wind and solar systems operate for a relatively short period of time and then need to be replaced. Waste from these systems is incredibly toxic. There is nothing sustainable about renewable energy. It’s one benefit is that it makes a lot of people feel good.
        Secondarily, is anyone noticing that China is building a global empire built on coal power while the west is shuttering coal power plants and spewing endless propaganda about a carbon free world by 2030, 2035, 2040 or 2050? We’re screwed. Anyone with even a barely functioning cortex knows that an industrial society can’t be run from renewable energy sources. Some of the self hating crowd say we deserve it and seem to desire for the oblivion or claim that Mother Nature is just cleaning house. These people have no investment in the future. If they hold such hatred for life, why continue to stick around and share their implacable nihilism? Just end it and do us all a favor.
        For those who love life and accept that we are here for a purpose, we need to fight for life. Yes, “fossil fuels” are limited. We may have indeed reached peak oil. But coal reserves are abundant. We have time to figure things out, but I’d prefer it be done in a more democratic method, rather than allowing some cabal of elitists convince us that we’ve reached the end and need to accept what they have coming for us. This concept of overpopulation has been around for decades. All being pushed by the eugenic elitists who despise humanity.
        We need to end control of our lives by this small group of psychopathic eugenicists and figure out how we build a truly functional and sustainable bridge to the future. I seriously doubt this will happen if we continue to allow China to burgeon while we systematically destroy the west through lockdowns, forced jabs, fiscal bankruptcy, and deindustrialization via the “Green New Deal.”

          Good points. JHK mentioned the new nuclear reactors to hold us over until cold fusion or such is created. Also what all great philosophers, religious leaders, Jesus, and Americans like Henry David Thoreau stated live simply, be comfortable, and the rest of this stuff that offer is not needed.

          I say see Russell Brand podcasts that Capitalism, Communism, Socialism model is not the only way, there are other ways like JHK mentions, live locally, live with less stuff or things.

          For what it’s worth, I’ve been working as an on-line editor for financial services firms in Jakarta for some years now, and a goodly portion of what comes across the wires deals with massive coal exports to the PRC.

          Australia too, at least before the current Punch’n’Judy spat with the Chinese. China has its own prominent coal reserves as well, but seems to be riding herd on them carefully.

    “In other words, is it mastermindery or clusterfuckery?”

    It’s not binary.
    It’s not one or the other.
    It’s both.

    We are witnessing how difficult mastermindery is in the Information Age.

    Even with the levers of power and the control over the primary mediums of information flow.

    Problem is, in this Information Age, they are not producers of information. You are, and you are, and he is and she is and there are only a few places where you and they can share your information.
    And they control it.
    And when they don’t like it they delete it
    Ban it
    Erase it’s digital existence.

    But this sloppy and tedious and amounts to whack a mole.
    And we are still getting tidbits and crucial pieces of data.
    And they can’t silence it all and they look like fools.
    And you also look foolish when you keep using their platforms (that’s you Berenson)

    So their mastermindery looks like clusterfuckery because
    there are people out there providing info to enough people
    And because the people involved are still people and they
    Can’t react quickly enough without crossing their lies

    • Blackbird July 31, 2021 at 11:46 pm #

      Mastermindery will be Easy Sleazy with the internet pruned back to a blighted stump.

      By the way, we don’t “whack” our moles anymore, we wax ’em. Speeds up their tunneling, but they tend to catch cold more readily.

    • Harry Bolsogna July 31, 2021 at 11:51 pm #

      They are not binary. In fact, clusterfuckery (chaos) is a tool of the elite. Humans are easily the most studied species on earth. With the ubiquitous presence of machine learning and AI, the PTB know exactly how to manipulate people through fear, greed, desperation and delusion to create the change that they desire. Maybe the goal is to dismantle the west. Does anyone really believe that our political leaders are working for a better future? We all see that it is a completely evil and dysfunctional circus. That isn’t a mistake. This is mastermindery in action. Renewable energy is not feasible, yet it’s shoved down our throats and we see executive orders being used to dismantle and shutter our “fossil fuel” infrastructure while renewables are made to look feasible through supported through government subsidies. I very much appreciate JHK, but simply can’t accept that clusterfuckery is even imaginable in the age of big data, the internet and an obvious global program to pull the west into totalitarianism.

        Yes. We can credit Bernays et al. for the ‘programming’ that began a century ago. They know exactly how our minds work and how to manipulate us. We’ve been mass engineered for our entire lives. The only reason some of us seem to get that is that we are not TV nuts, or movie addicts, and have studied psychology to some degree (not necessarily in school).

        • SpeedyBB August 1, 2021 at 10:26 am #

          MaryQueen, your comment about the sinister Bernays brings to mind my own profound consternation at the mammoth cognitive dissonance evident about the aggression on Vietnam, when I was both teaching US / AID-sponsored Vietnamese students and grandstanding with the Fresno Resistance against the War.

          Otherwise intelligent people were bending over backward to give the lying bastards in Washington and their media puppets “..the benefit of the doubt” when it was clearly a huge, bloody misadventure.

          Unless you happened to be Brown & Root (LBJ’s sweet mentors), and then it was a perpetual Christmas.

          • MaryQueen August 1, 2021 at 11:25 am #

        • MaryQueen August 1, 2021 at 11:26 am #

    ‘That’s not freedom’
    While Tolford said she understands people’s feelings about being forced to take a shot, she said a lot of people view their decision to refuse as a “Constitutional-like freedom,” when, really, it’s a communal public health issue.

    Dr. Priscilla Frase of Ozarks Healthcare in West Plains, Missouri, said people are asking to receive the Covid-19 privately because they are afraid of pushback from the people they know who are not in favor of vaccination.
    Some people in Missouri are getting vaccinated in secret to avoid backlash from loved ones, doctor says
    “Why should those who don’t seem to want to do what’s best for the public now get to just benefit from being open again, while they also just spread Delta variant around?” she said.

    “Those of us who got vaccinated, we want to live our lives,” Tolford said. “The way to do it was to get vaccinated and we’ve done it and now you guys still don’t want to put other people first and put the greater good of society first, so maybe you guys need to just go stay home. Maybe it’s time for you guys not to be able to do everything because you don’t want to participate.”

    Tolford said she supports the idea of vaccine passports and would also support vaccines being mandated by employers. Some companies – including Google and Facebook – have already announced vaccine requirements for their employees. President Biden announced on Thursday a requirement that all federal employees be vaccinated against Covid-19 or face strict protocols.

      “I was one of those people, the second the CDC said vaccinated people don’t need masks outdoors or indoors, I was like ‘Hallelujah,'” McCullough told CNN.

      But with Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations now surging again and officials across the US suddenly reimposing restrictions after a summer of semi normalcy, McCullough and many other vaccinated Americans are becoming increasingly angry at those who are refusing the shot.

      “I did what I had to do,” McCullough told CNN. “Now, these people who are making this selfish decision are going to make me suffer the consequences.”

      “Hey, bud. Look at the science. Darwin.”

      He’s praising, “Halleluja” to the CDC? What a morally-, spiritually-corrupt dope!

      Talcum X is a grifter and he’s not even black, according to his family.

        Anglin answers Mary:

        Shaun King is actually the king alpha troll. He fakes being black and then rips off moronic black people, using his superior IQ. Then, because he’s promoting a Jewish anti-white agenda, the whole entire media backs him up and supports the obviously false theory that he’s half-black.

        He literally claims that his white mother cheated on his white father with a black man whose name he doesn’t know.

        What is unclear is why Rachel Dolezal got thrown under the bus when she was doing the same thing as him. I guess it’s just because she admitted it. If she would have said “uhhhh, yeah, my mom cheated on my father with a black man,” she would have gotten away clean as well.

        The thing about that whole situation is: there’s a lot less difference genetically between a black woman and a white woman than there is between a white woman and a white man. Race is a much smaller gap than sex, genetically.

        And trannies are the best thing ever, but trans-racialism is bad?

        In theory, Sean King shouldn’t even had to have lied. Trannies are taking over every feminist organization, because men are smarter than women. Whites are smarter than blacks, and there is no reason they shouldn’t be allowed to switch races and take total control of all of the black organizations.

        Yoho: Dolazeal’s NAACP was one of the most successful in the nation. Blood will tell, Mary.

        She wasn’t politically connected, a mere freelancer. Shaun was hooked up with the rising leftwing of the Democrats. That’s the big difference.

      Below is an extract from Wikipedia explaining Mr KIng’s creamy color. It also relates autobiographical incidences of hate crimes which remind one of the Jussie Smollett fraud and even a scene with rednecks in a pick up chasing our hero as in “Forrest Gump”.

      ************************************************************************

      “Jeffrey Shaun King was born and raised in Versailles, Kentucky.[3] Although his birth certificate names Jeffrey Wayne King as the father, King stated in 2015 that his mother told him his actual biological father is a light-skinned Black man”

      “King reports that he was the victim of racism and hate crimes while growing up in Kentucky.[9] He told reporters that one day a pickup truck full of youths attempted to run him over with the vehicle on school property.[9] After reporting the incident to school authorities, King recalls that the authorities protected the youths rather than punishing them.[9]

      King later reported that a second assault occurred, wherein “a dozen self-described ‘rednecks'” beat him and the injuries caused him to miss a portion of two years of high school due to multiple spinal surgeries.[9] King characterized the assault as a racially motivated hate crime.[10]

      In 2015, media outlets questioned King’s account of the assault[10] and, citing interviews with the investigating detective Keith Broughton and police reports on the case, characterized the fight as a one-on-one between King and another boy over a girl and that the injuries were minor. Broughton reportedly interviewed multiple witnesses, including a teacher who broke up the fight.

      • MaryQueen August 1, 2021 at 11:23 am #

      • Blackbird August 1, 2021 at 11:35 am #

        I’m glad to see that faithful Wikipedia rebutted the slanderous lies told by Broughton by bringing forth the testimony of a band teacher, two fellow students, and King’s wife. Truly a victim, professionally no less. If Mr. King is not black, he deserves to be. “If you can dream it, you can be it!”

      Uncertainty is just a part of life. Like anything else blind faith can be good or bad. Our “leaders” for the most part sold out to outside, antagonistic interests long ago. So that is why faith in the current system is felt to be an insult. It’s very understandable.

  116. hmuller August 1, 2021 at 11:33 am #

    At the risk of being repetitious the quote below sums it up pretty well

    ********************************************************************

    But why do they want 100% vaccination? Why are they so desperate for every single person in the world to get the mRNA jab?

    After all, the average (IFR) death rate of covid is a mere 0.26% of those infected (this is a stat that the media consistently and deliberately refuses to mention to the public). This means that 99.7% of the public is in NO danger from covid whether they are vaccinated or not.

    Do the vaccines ensure better odds? Well, according to recent statistics from Massachusetts, not necessarily, as they report over 5100 infections and 80 deaths of fully vaccinated patients. The media keeps telling us that only the unvaccinated are dying, but this is a lie, like so many other lies they have been peddling when it comes to covid. So, what’s the point of taking an experimental vaccine if the death rate of the virus is so low and the jab doesn’t necessarily protect you anyway?

    There is no point. The science and the stats do not support it. The vaccines can’t even be credited with the decline in infections and deaths this year; the numbers plunged in January – Only 5% of the population was vaccinated by February. The only explanation for this is that the population hit herd immunity many months ago. Remember when governments said that they needed 70% herd immunity or vaccination to stop the lockdowns and mandates? The goalposts have been moves several times and the government “science” changes monthly. Now they claim herd immunity doesn’t matter and demand 100% vaccination.

    We must ask the question again – Why the relentless government push for total vaccine saturation? It’s not saving lives, and the mandates remain regardless, so why?

    I can only posit theories based on the evidence at hand, but I think it’s clear to most of us that the vaccines are NOT about public health nor are they about saving lives. They are obviously about something else…

      “Why the relentless government push for total vaccine saturation?”

      I don’t know the truth. I’m sure that no one commenting here does – but if you do, I suspect that you are a career psychopath. But I don’t need to have “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” to recognize a stinking pile of lies when I see, hear, and smell one.

      Did the covid death rate fall in 2021 because of a change in the way those deaths are counted? Because in 2020 people who died from all sorts of reasons were counted as covid deaths just because they allegedly tested positive for covid.

          That’s a good way of describing it and makes sense. I also feel like it is a psychological washing machine.

Wash, rinse, repeat until our minds are “purified”.

      • MaryQueen August 1, 2021 at 6:34 pm #

        They counted every death as from covid19, if they had any sort of respiratory illness and even sometimes not even, because they were incentivised and told by the CDC to do so.

        So it was basically death, rebranded.

        • SoftStarLight August 1, 2021 at 9:30 pm #

          I seem to recall that hospitals were getting 30K for every covid death. So yes there were/are still big incentives to misreport.

    Apparently the work of the notorious Trinitarios Street Gang. 3 of those shot were gang members themselves, but 7 of the victims were innocent bystanders at a Queens laundrymat.

    I don’t know is there such a thing a innocent bystanders anymore? Everybody seems to be in the line of fire.

    Here’s a twist: the shooters fled the scene on motorscooters Lol. We’ve seen the same thing in Hartford, a Do Gooder/Environmental scheme whereas motorscooters are deployed around the city and available to rent for a small fee. Problems came up when ‘Youts’ rode them out to the suburbs and commited armed robberies, then “hauled ass” back to the Hood with the loot, at 15mph ahahahahaha.

    The Electric Scooter program, government funded of course, followed on the heels of the Lime Green Bike scheme. With this scheme you rented bikes by the day or by the hour, then brought them back for a partial refund. Trouble is, nobody was bringing them back, what’s more, they were breaking off the electronic tracking devices that let the administrators know where the bikes could be found. Out of the one thousand bikes originally deployed, one thousand bikes were lost, most sold for scrap at local crooked junkyards. Some were also found at the bottoms of ponds in city parks, abandoned along RR tracks, and laying on the side of interstates going thru the city. Needless to say, these rental bike plans were optimistic, and need some rethinking. I think it would probably work in a College town. Not in the city tho. Armored vehicles would be more appropriate to get around those streets IMHO.

      Good news indeed. More good news: The ACLU must prove that Amber Heard donated seven million from her divorce settlement as she said she would. Big victory for Johnny Depp.

      • Blackbird August 1, 2021 at 4:11 pm #

        A bigger victory for Depp would be to return to acting and quit being a celebrity (who gets paid to appear in movies) – but that’s his choice, not mine.

      • BackRowHeckler August 1, 2021 at 5:28 pm #

        Amber might have been a gold digger, but you have to admit Janos, if half of what you’ve read about their marriage is true, Johhny Depp didn’t treat her right.

        Blackbird, as much as I hate to say it, I think Depp’s career is over. No producer would ever take a chance on him again.

        I read Depp blew thru $300 million, which, if true, would make him a Class A fool.

          “if true, would make him a Class A fool.”

          BRH,

          I, at one time, would have thought the same. However, consider that, on your deathbed, what will be your final thoughts?. Will they be fond remembrance of good times, good meals, good “company”, the safari in Africa, the first class accommodations on cruises? Or will you derive satisfaction from how much you saved, to be fought over by your unworthy heirs and assigns?

          Not to mention the thrill of high-stakes gambling, the thrill of victory, the hookers and blow….

          I honestly don’t know.

        • Blackbird August 1, 2021 at 6:29 pm #

          $3 million on wine alone, in one year (if I recall correctly). That’s over $8,000 per day, everyday. What’s he doing, having super soaker fights with Dom Pérignon? (I’m seeing the gas fight from Zoolander.)

          I think his career is over too. It’s like playing guitar on acid: once you stop, the magic is lost and you’re left holding a scary wooden box.

          • Yohannon August 1, 2021 at 8:51 pm #

    from the all news pipeline:

    “So with the large majority of both black Americans and ‘rural dwellers’ agreeing hugely on avoiding a ‘big pharma injection’ created far too hastily, all we need to do is take a look back at the past to see one of the reasons why; traditionally, it has taken years and sometimes decades to create a ‘successful’ vaccine.”

    The people have the numbers. They can shut anything down that they want. They can remove anything that they want. They just need to put their petty differences aside, come together, organize, and take back their respective country. When real leaders start consolidating and organizing massive parts of the population to take such action, it will be all over for authoritarian government. It doesn’t even have to be that violent. There would be some sacrifice and loss at the beginning of each recapture and purging cycle, yet, it will always be worth it. This is a war.

    ” When the fuck are people gonna start making the ultimate sacrifice? ”

    Tories , Indians , Confederates. Cuban and Filipino Nationalists.

    To name a few.

    In my own time ?

    Maybe Branch Davidians?

    Whatever the truth or lack of truth in the claim that David Koresh was molesting children ,

    I think it no coincidence that claim pretty much shut down any fair , dispassionate , objective , level – playing – field – type discussion of what went down there.

    Very , very convenient , whatever the truth.

    Then on the huge scale , but boring and prosaic , is the fact that a whooping 90% of convicted felons never see the inside of a prison.

    Because if we actually imprisoned even half of these ” felons ” the country would be bankrupt in one week.

    This circumstance should clue people in to just how completely out of hand the hysterical witch hunt mentality , and manufactured crisis con game , has gotten.

    But it never does.

    I suppose one reason for that is because people associate ” tyranny ” with firing squads and crucifixions.

    When , typically , the greatest evils manifest most commonly in little things and in boring things.

    ” When the fuck are people gonna start making the ultimate sacrifice? ”

    I suspect that millions of people HAVE. ??

    But it’s not about medals and brass bands and Hollywood shit.

    Heck , I reckon that commonly now your would – be Nathan Hale doesn’t even warrant a newspaper article on page 14.

    • SoftStarLight August 1, 2021 at 8:23 pm #

      It’s cynically and very darkly humorous that they justified mass murder on charges of activities that appear to be nothing more than standard fair business as usual for the connected, powerful and privileged. And given that lawyers and bureaucrats can unceasingly and tediously churn out laws and regulations of minutiae down to lemonade stands then clearly 90% of everyone is a felon. And they are rich and navigate the loopholes without any problems.

      I dunno, I think that there is a case that firing squads and crucifixions could very well be associated with peace. Again, it sort of depends on the who and the what. It seems like the real tyrants care so much about you that they want you dead rather.

  129. MaryQueen August 1, 2021 at 8:02 pm #

    From Off-Guardian:

    New Normal Newspeak #2: “Vaccine” If the Covid19 shots “reduce symptoms”, but don’t prevent infection or transmission…are they truly “vaccines”?

    “Vaccine” is a word a with a simple meaning. I’ll quote it to you, from the Oxford dictionary:

    A substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease.

    And here, from the CDC’s website:

    Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.

    Encyclopedia Brittanica says more or less the same. As does dictionary.com. Cambridge University. Merriam Webster.

    You get the point.

    A “vaccine” is substance that, when introduced into a body, “provides immunity” to a specific disease. This person, now immune, is therefore incapable of passing that disease on to others. This is the entire point of vaccination.”

    I reckon that making the ultimate sacrifice commonly means you die penniless and don’t get a medal.

    I really can’t recall the last time someone was praised in America for being penniless.

    And this sort of thing applies even to things like Medal of Honor winners.

    It’s not the posthumous Medal of Honor winners who get seats in Congress or commercial endorsement deals.

    It’s the Medal of Honor winners who walked away without a scratch that get the parades and pats on the back.

    Willie Ray Lampley gave me a first-hand account of his visit to the compound at Waco. Not all the details, but that the doctrine Vernon was teaching : that he was to be the sire of Twenty Four Elders to fulfill prophecy. This was being attempted by sequestering the men and women [ married or not ] and impregnating the chosen women. They all went along with it. This is the reason God hired destroyers to give an obvious warning to His people. Judgement begins at the house of God.

        Are you referring to those who, per Anderson, reported that they liked to keep wearing a mask for various reasons?

        I think Anderson makes it very clear that people’s feeling this was is a problem for all of society. However, he uses these as examples; he doesn’t provide figures or percentages as to how many feel this way.

    After yesterday’s protest in Berlin, the Berlin police are getting some unwanted attention for their disgusting levels of violence — kicking women and children, assaulting senior citizens, etc.

    It also turns out that over the past year or two, they made massive personnel changes and filled many leadership positions with leftists from the Rot-Grün coalition.

    This is a takeover, and mirrors what they have been doing in the US with Open Society funds to corrupt DAs and local-level politicians.

    • Islander August 2, 2021 at 9:36 am #

      N.O.:

      I watched most of Reitschuler’s vid. Saw how they also roughed him and others up. He said something about the AfD but couldn’t catch it.
      It seems like the portion of the demo that he was covering was a local march in Schoeneberg/Kreuzberg—hard to get a sense of how many were there or what the program of the demo was.

      Was it a completely different demo at Alexanderplatz?

      Quite striking to me was how happy and healthy virtually all of the marchers are (I didn’t see any fatties) and the many bikes. I loved biking around Berlin when I was last there. A green (not too densely populated) city, great for biking.

      I also watched some of the Corona Ausschuss–Bryan Ardiss and the fellow from Gent. Today the Columbia Journalism Review’s “media” email feed (which I normally ignore) had the headline “How major media outlets screwed up the vaccine ‘breakthrough’ story”

      By “screwed up” I reckon they mean created a chink in the “narrative.”

      Here it is at their site:
      https://www.cjr.org/
      You might have to sign up in order to see the story, but it is free . . .

      Here is the first graf:
      Late Thursday, the Washington Post landed what looked like a big scoop: the paper obtained an unpublished slide presentation from inside the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggesting that the Delta variant of the coronavirus spreads as easily as chickenpox, and that fully vaccinated people who become infected with the variant may be able to pass it on in a way similar to unvaccinated people who become infected. (The slides were based in part on data about a COVID outbreak linked to Provincetown, Massachusetts; on Friday, the CDC published that data.) Although “breakthrough” infections in vaccinated people are rare, and it’s even rarer that they result in hospitalization or death, major news organizations sometimes missed this crucial context as they rushed to confirm the Post’s story and spit it out via headlines and push alerts. A tweet from the New York Times?“The Delta variant is ass contagious as chickenpox and may be spread by vaccinated people as easily as the unvaccinated, an internal CDC report said”?camee in for particularly sharp criticism. “VACCINATED PEOPLE DO NOT TRANSMIT THE VIRUS AT THE SAME RATE AS UNVACCINATED PEOPLE,” Ben Wakana, a communications staffer for the White House’s coronavirus response team, shot back. “IF YOU FAIL TO INCLUDE THAT CONTEXT YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG.”

          ##”suggesting that,”

          ##”vaccinated people who become infected with the variant **may be able**

          ##”Although “breakthrough” infections in vaccinated people are rare, and it’s even rarer that they result in hospitalization or death,”

          So, um, if that is the case, then what is the need for more
          lockdowns???

          OTOH, this looks pretty clear:
          “The Delta variant is as contagious as chickenpox and may be spread by vaccinated people as easily as the unvaccinated, an internal CDC report said””

          So, what’s the problem?
          Per the WH, the CDC is wrong??
          CDC statistics are unreliable???
          The CDC is lying?

      In the UK they manhandle old ladies in to the back of police vans (for the sake of their own health, of course). Throwing them to the ground is a nice touch.

      I thought the Germans were into their Vergangenheitsbewältigung. Turns out they are still the same old fascists as before.

    Mandatory Option

    Oregon’s still on fire
    Bootlick creates weather
    It’s gotten way past dire
    Birds of a feather

    Booster-jab, here
    Mandatory option
    Booster-jab, there
    Mandatory option

    Sheriff’s Office is looking for you
    He was shocked that you were not home
    You had gathered a gym bag and flew
    A tooth brush and a comb

    The dogs have got your scent
    Your eMail was shutdown
    The World got so fucking bent
    Each and every town

    Booster-jab, here
    Mandatory option
    Booster-jab, there
    Mandatory option

    You crave beef
    But you need shelter
    The turn of a leaf
    UnGodly summer swelter

    Feet are blistering
    Socks all bloody
    Demons always whispering
    Knee-deep in The Big Muddy

    Gotta keep movin’
    Keep on keepin’ on
    Long past provin’
    Misery heapin’ on

    Booster-jab, here
    Mandatory option
    Booster-jab, there
    Mandatory option

    “The man who believes that the secrets of the world are forever hidden lives in mystery and fear. Superstition will drag him down. The rain will erode the deeds of his life. But that man who sets himself the task of singling out the thread of order from the tapestry will by the decision alone have taken charge of the world and it is only by such taking charge that he will effect a way to dictate the terms of his own fate”

    -The Judge

    It’s the summer of 1914 again I read somewhere. What little time we have left, try and enjoy it.
