Notice, there are two sets of hostages in this phase of what looks like an engineered US collapse: the thousands of stranded Americans who can’t get out of Afghanistan thanks to the history-rockin’ ineptitude of “Joe Biden,” Tony Blinken, and General Mark Milley, and the millions of We-the-People back home whose minds are hostage to the narratives concocted in a shadowland of sinister governance. Welcome to a week of throwdowns and showdowns, a force majeure of mind change.

A strange paralysis in the Pentagon has prevented the use of US power to clear an escape corridor to Kabul’s airport and establish order in the facility — this, after the tactically mystifying decision to abandon the US Bagram military airfield, a good twenty miles outside of festering Kabul, and surrounded by more easily-securable empty desert. Britain and France managed to get their nationals out last week, only to be rebuked by American brass for “making us look bad.” That helped, I’m sure.

And then how long can the stranded Americans even stay hidden and alive? They have to eat. Either they come out of their hidey-holes and get to some market, or they would (theoretically) have to send some Afghani servants to fetch them supplies, But, what Afghani in his right mind would want to be caught in service to the Americans by the Taliban? That quandary must have a pretty short time-horizon on it. Standing by to see how it works out….

Next in this week’s throwdown parade is the FDA’s imminent approval of Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine, without any of the usual extensive trials. How does that even happen, with an efficacy rate of 39 percent maximum and a runaway train of vicious side effects ranging from brain and heart damage to infertility? The so-called mRNA “vaccines” are also implicated in the ongoing mutation of the disease, producing a cavalcade of variants. Is that, perhaps, on-purpose, to keep the pandemic going, preventing it from burning-out?

Covid-19 is an expedient device for exercising the most severe control over the daily life of Americans, and it is being used liberally once again in the “blue” cities to make ordinary business as difficult as possible even unto shut-down and ruin. FDA approval will further enable the mandatory “vaccination” of school-children, government workers, and corporate employees. About half the country still refuses to get jabbed. You are about to see them go hard-core when the FDA makes its move.

The shadow cabal behind “Joe Biden” will, accordingly, destroy what is left of public education as millions of parents withdraw their kids from the system. You will then see the rapid assembly of home-schooling networks that aggregate informally into small private academies — and, of course, the biggest losers will be the minorities who lack the cultural mojo to home-school. Well done, “Joe Biden” and the FDA!  While you’re at it, why not destroy Higher Ed, too? (That sound you’ll hear is plywood getting nailed up on the windows of countless insolvent small colleges.)

The school revolt will only be one part of a greater uproar against the confabulated hysteria of Covid-19. Throwdown will lead to showdown as the alienation of We-the-People from a tyrannical rogue government bangs the crisis gong. Next up: the release of the Arizona election audit’s preliminary findings. Rumor is that they show the grossest possible, and probably criminal, mismanagement of the balloting, pointing to a conclusion that “Joe Biden” did not win that state’s election. Additional rumor has it that the ballots carried hidden, traceable serial numbers, or something like that, showing conclusively how the paper vote was rigged. Rachel Maddow’s nightmare — “They have the ballots!!!” — comes true… a wake-up for the Woked-up.

As predicted here, John Durham is back in the news. The captive news media — that is, the mainstream orgs owned by the Intel Community — put stories out last week that the RussiaGate special prosecutor has actually made some trips to the grand jury. That implies some kind of criminal prosecution. Their spin was that he had only netted a few small-fry, characters mostly outside government such as Igor Danchenko of the Brookings Institution, said to be the chief source for Christopher Steele’s nefarious “dossier.” Don’t believe it. Durham is going for the sharks and whales: Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, John Brennan, Bruce and Nellie Ohr… and, really, how can James Comey be excluded from that gang, since he was running it?

This week marks the beginning of the Deep State’s hard time. Its narratives are shredding. Its mind-control measures are slip-sliding away. Half the country has been onto their game for years, and the other half is about to feel their heads explode as a corrective reality elbows into the scene. That is, the real-and-only reality, not the one confabulated backstage for you by skulking quislings. See how you’ve been played? They have taken your country. Maybe you should start caring about that.

    Scared as hell once they approve the “vax” and start turning the screws.

    • Rodster August 23, 2021 at 9:49 am #

      Why are you scared as hell? Just refuse to take their bullshit experimental drug aka “vaccine”. It starts with you. I will NOT allow myself to take that crap. I prefer freedom and choice which this country no longer has. It’s controlled and run by The Deep State. Eventually there will be civil unrest and a revolt. Fear not, it’s coming.

      It’s time to bring back Nancy Reagan’s drug campaign slogan:

      “JUST SAY NO!”

            O.G. – what’s happening up there with that firebrand Polish pastor, Pawlowski? He’s a hero in my book.

            Seems he’s been persecuted heavily for upholding his beliefs, but I don’t hear of anyone coming to his defense. Not a good sign. What gives?

          • O.G. Hawkins August 23, 2021 at 7:44 pm #

            Hey Ron.

            Canadian are sheeple. We do what we’re told and line-up (in orderly single-file) for a $3 coffee.

            I only ever heard of him via CFNers. There was no Cdn MSM that I saw..

            Sad but True.

            He is not alone. Canada also provides:

            Dr Hoffe
            Dr Hodkinson
            Dr Christian
            Patrick King

            This shit’s gettin’ Real. Really Real.

      • shotho August 23, 2021 at 10:02 am #

        Right, fear only leads to more fear. There are absolutely things to fear in life, but oppression by government is not high on the list. Remember, there is safety in numbers.

        • Ron Anselmo August 23, 2021 at 10:11 am #

          shoto – fear is a disease, THE disease. There is nothing to fear in life – nothing. Once you realize that, you are free – liberated.

          • Rodster August 23, 2021 at 10:48 am #

            “There is nothing to fear in life – nothing. Once you realize that, you are free – liberated.”

            “EXACTLY”!

            As one gets older you realize that you and everything else on this planet has an expiration date. In other words we eventually all face death. And as the saying goes, I’d rather “die standing up than begging on my knees”. That is NO way to live, in fear.

          • hmuller August 23, 2021 at 11:06 am #

            I’m hoping the money goes bad soon. If they can’t pay law enforcement and the military, they collapse both quickly and bigly.

            As for UN troops intervening; they’ll get the welcome they deserve from every Billy Jo Bob in flyover country.

          • Rodster August 23, 2021 at 11:30 am #

            “I’m hoping the money goes bad soon.”

            Eventually it will, just like it did in the Weimar Republic. It’s heading for a hyperinflation flameout. We have never seen this before where nations are literally printing digitized money that is backed by nothing but keystrokes.

            It’s MMT until we flame out but at least Paul Krugman gets his MMT wish because he believes we can just print as much money as the government needs too, to pay its bills.

          • O.G. Hawkins August 23, 2021 at 11:43 am #

            Typically, beggars do not live in fear. They can’t. They are in constant danger as compared to those standing on their feet.

            God bless the Homeless. May they get a square meal today. Each and every one of them.

          • Yohannon August 23, 2021 at 11:49 am #

            Great death scene. “Do not be afraid”.

            @Rodster

            Ya, “pay” its bills (i.e. banksters loot the net worth of USA clean – “picked it like a chicken bone”).

            ——

            CFNers jumped all over me when I stated that I sniffed the stench of US$ hyperinflation mere months ago.

            I stand by my prediction and it is Good to read your Weimer comparisons.

          • Ron Anselmo August 23, 2021 at 12:02 pm #

            @Janos – you beat me to the punch – one of the best, deeply instructive scenes ever – just my opinion. Thanks for the link.

            Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.

            There is nothing to fear in life – Ron A

            ===========

            Have to disagree with you on this, Ron.

            One may fear for family members but not for their own self. I fear for my oldest son, his wife, and their two boys who are my only grandkids. Their parents don’t read this blog or anything like it. They are mostly oblivious to anti-vaxx arguments. They, and the rest of our extended family, cheered when I got my two jabs in April. I was the last to do so.

            Recently my wife has been saying how badly she wished the age for children getting vaxxed would be lowered to include our 9 and 8 yo grandsons. I groaned and my eyes rolled back in my head. She has no idea of the arguments against. She seems to think there could be nothing nefarious going on especially since the Dems were able to dump Trump. I’ve given up on getting her to read Kunstler on a regular basis. She scoffs when I mention it…thinks Jim is a nutcase and so am I by extension. Same for the rest of the extended family. They won’t even entertain the possibility of… well you get my point.

          • Doc Holliday August 23, 2021 at 4:06 pm #

            To Rodster below: Actually, the phrase you are looking for is “I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees”, to which the correct response (Thanks to “Catch 22”), “I would rather live on my feet than die on my knees”. Thinking in this manner is much more healthy and should be the proper way to view the future.

          • Ron Anselmo August 23, 2021 at 11:13 pm #

            @Rulo – thanks for the link. Janos also posted above.

            Assuming you’ve seen the whole show. The Deer Hunter has been my all-time favorite, but Apocalypto a very close second, that I watch maybe 3 times a year now.

            Just now dawned on me, the similarities: warriors, steel-hardened human bonds, uncommon courage, visceral violence and both incredible cinematography. Lots of depth in both.

          • Ron Anselmo August 24, 2021 at 12:01 am #

            @Q – Always enjoy your posts. Very flattered though by the length of your reply – might be a record. I’ve asked Admin to scrape the archives just to confirm.

            Let me try to close the circle on fear. Understand that when all is said and done, your (extended) family will be fine – no need for you to fear for them.

            They, in turn, need to understand that when all is said and done, you’ll be fine – no need for them to fear for you (the reason they all cheered when you got vaccinated was that they have a genuine fear for your health – their hearts’ in the right place).

            At present, needlessly, the fear (limitation) remains – you for them, and they for you. Eliminate both and the family will live freely – all liberated. How?

            Everyone is contagious, it’s up to each of us to decide what we want to catch. Let your grandsons watch you live your life without fear, and they’ll learn to be fearless like grandpa.

            Rational fear kept us from being eaten by sabre-tooth tigers, but upon close examination, most fears are completely irrational – the cause of rampant mental illness & anxiety.

            I feel your pain on the rest of your post – same boat – no rest for the weary outsiders.

          • Rulo Deschamps August 25, 2021 at 9:21 pm #

            Ron, yes, I see now Janos was first.

            Apocalypto is my favorite film of all time. There’s Citizen Kane and Casablanca and Apocalypse Now and many others, but Apocalypto, to me, is the ultimate masterpiece.

            Mayan archeology buff, history buff, here… the amount of research and vivid re-creation is a triumph of art.

            Deer hunter is not bad either!

          • Ron Anselmo August 25, 2021 at 11:30 pm #

            We spent some time in Belize, with intentions of moving there in 2007 – couldn’t take Dubya & Cheney & their crew any longer. Didn’t work out – story better told over a beer.

            Point was, the jungles oozed Maya, in the jungles you could feel it. I’d go back in a heartbeat, but I’d be doing it single.

      • Pete August 23, 2021 at 10:59 am #

        Rodster,

        Let me tell you why it’s scary. For me, anyway…

        Peaking out from behind my normalcy bias, I see a bleak picture for me and the people I love. Very bleak. We don’t need no pep talk, this train is a run-away.

        Today’s announcement of FDA approval will take out those who pinned their hopes on the law through their own normalcy bias, that it would never be approved, let alone rubber stamped. (again).

        You are right. The only argument is, “No, I will not take it!” That means no phony vax cards, no cleverly constructed rationales based on a previous reality can be used to assert your position.

        Solzhenitsyn’s admonishment against burning in the camps is burning in my brain.

        What scares me is looking into the eyes of the people I love and tearing down their normalcy bias. When they see what I see, they will panic. Their fear will be irrational and hard to control. I’m afraid of that day.

        • MaryQueen August 23, 2021 at 11:13 am #

          I agree with Ron and Rodster, but I did have to pass through the ‘fear portal’ first.

          So you are correct. The people that haven’t done so yet will be forced to, and it is not going to be pretty.

          • Ron Anselmo August 23, 2021 at 11:59 am #

            See the movie Apocalypto, produced and directed by Mel Gibson.

            The deep underlying message is that fear is a disease. Being around the fearful (know any?) is dangerous – you can catch their disease.

            Be forewarned, – easily one of the most violent movies I’ve ever seen, and had trouble sleeping the first time I saw it.

            Fear of one thing or another, is our limitation(s). Once you disassociate yourself from all fear(s) – you are free.

            No more fear of failure, fear of success, fear of loss (friends, family, possessions, money), fear of abandonment, fear of ridicule, fear of dying, fear of loneliness, fear of anything.

            When you no longer fear – you are free – simple as that.

          • Ron Anselmo August 23, 2021 at 1:37 pm #

            Addendum:

            We’re hard-wired for a “fight-or-flight” response. Once you get beyond fear – disassociate yourself from fear – flight is no longer an option as a reaction. Fight becomes your default, and only response.

          • MaryQueen August 24, 2021 at 7:40 pm #

            Ron, I’m pretty sure I saw that, how weird it didn’t make as big an impression on me as it did you.

            But I agree re: fear. Whenever I actively work to dispel it, I feel much freer. And yes, I am surrounded by people who are fearful (most people are). Afraid of losing their jobs, afraid of losing face, afraid of getting sick, afraid of being broke, etc.

            People just don’t live for the moment any more. I’m striving to do that.

          • Ron Anselmo August 24, 2021 at 9:58 pm #

            Good girl Mary, hang in there. I sense you’re still tying to catch your balance – but only in the slightest sense. The move from Cali, settling in in Boise & then maybe points beyond, if Boise gets overrun. Add the current state of affairs, and that’s a lot on one’s plate.

            You’re absolutely right, live fearlessly and in the moment.
            People live the majority of their lives in a time that doesn’t exist.

            Much of our time regretting or living in the past – a time that no longer exists. Much of our time worrying about tomorrow & the future – a time that also doesn’t exist.

            Today, this present moment is all we have, celebrate it.

            BTW – really enjoy all your posts, different parts, informative, knowledgeable & entertaining.

          • MaryQueen August 25, 2021 at 8:39 pm #

            @Ron, thanks for the encouragement and kind words.

            I really enjoy your posts as well!

            Yes, this past year has been insane. My most recent saving grace has been exercising (biking, swimming) and the return to reading novels. And always, gardening.

            At least many of us will not be shocked as will most people. I have been waiting for this collapse for like 10 years… lol.

            I thought it would happen 5 years ago, but when it didn’t, I was kinda surprised. Then when the covid thing blew up I knew immediately that was it.

          • ThorsHammer August 26, 2021 at 12:16 pm #

            Mary

            A number of years ago I met a Rasta man on the beach in St. Lucia.Smoked some of his herb and talked about life. His moto was “Do=n worry, mon, be Happy.” He lived in a grass roof lean to up the beach and sold the occasional conch shell to tourists who wandered by. A hell of a lot closer to his goal than the billionaires I built yachts for in those days.

            The goal of the Malignant Overlords is Control over all living things. Freedom is finding a crack in their power net .

        • Rodster August 23, 2021 at 11:21 am #

          “What scares me is looking into the eyes of the people I love and tearing down their normalcy bias. When they see what I see, they will panic.”

          And yet, you warned them probably more than once and they did not listen to you. It’s on them NOT you remember that. It’s like the story of Noah, the people did not heed his repeated warnings, they derided him, but he kept warning them. Eventually he was right and he and his family lived with a clear conscience.

          The problem for many is that they get their NEWS from official sources and that’s bad because it’s controlled propaganda by the Deep State.

          • O.G. Hawkins August 23, 2021 at 11:55 am #

            You are correct, Rodster. These times are Biblical.

          • MaryQueen August 25, 2021 at 8:40 pm #

            Yes. I share some things with friends. Some also get it – and it’s usually my conservative friends.

            Most just refuse to let anything but mainstream sources dictate what they ‘know’.

            But NY Slimes isn’t gonna save ’em when it all goes south.

          Anyone who would base their intent to take the Pfizer jab on the “rubber stamped” approval of it by the FDA is oblivious of the sad history of the FDA. Many drugs “approved’ by the FDa were later withdrawn due to how dangerous they turned out to be; the link below is just a few of them.

        I am following the “science”.

        I am part of “the control group”.

        Four years from now when the jabbed are having (possibly) very adverse outcomes, “science” will need “the control group” to do comparative studies.

        Pfizer and the FDA and the CDC and the WHO should be thrilled! we are all happy to stay in “the control group”!

        Odd though how they want everyone jabbed? Where’s the “science” in that?!

        • zenfugue August 23, 2021 at 2:44 pm #

          It’s not ‘science’ anymore, it’s “the science”… and we’ll be lucky if that’s not all that’s left of science in 4 years.

        • Mountain gal August 24, 2021 at 5:44 am #

          @ Abbywood

          Yes, I even got a “control group” t shirt- haven’t worn it yet. And I suspect they don’t want a control group as then we will be a stark example of the comparison between us and the vaxed down the road when the long-term adverse outcomes arise.

      • mike6972 August 23, 2021 at 12:27 pm #

        How do you say “no” when surrounded by heavily armed soldiers or “vaccine police”? Resist and you will tied-up, arrested, and taken-away to an internment camp. At the camp you will be forcibly vaccinated, or perhaps even just killed outright. Your family and friends will be interrogated and likely arrested. That’s what Communists do. Read Solzhenitsyn.

        • ASHAMED August 23, 2021 at 12:59 pm #

          Exactly, Mike! Keep saying it.

          BLM, Antifa, and the woke “movement” are all rooted in Marx, Marcuse, Angela Davis and so on. Communists every one.

            Yes, Ashamed – and the only ones to stand down and man handle Antifa/BLM in the streets, the Proud Boys, are held as political prisoners, without due process, in violation of The Great Writ. No one coming to their defense.

          LMAO I wonder what people would do if they didn’t have communism to blame things on, probably blame it on Mickey Mouse or Pluto or the Man In The Moon, talk about what fear will do for you that’s a perfect example of it, but after years and years of endless propaganda what can one expect,

          • DuckandCover August 23, 2021 at 4:04 pm #

            Ask the 25 million that Stalin killed, or the unknown millions that Mao killed, or the Uhygers in China today if there are reasons to blame and fear the communists.

          Just because nobody else has…. today!

          “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

        US: The figures below are derived from the official US adverse events database,VAERS. Further injuries and fatalities for the US lie behindVigibase, a WHO sponsored adverse reaction website only accessible by health professionals on the payment of a fee.

        Figures to 11thJune 2021

        VAERS: 5,993 deaths and 1,617,975 injuries. Given that official data are known to under-represent real-world injuries, if those figures represent 10% or 1% of the real total, fatal injuries would extrapolate to 59,930 or 599,300 deaths in the US respectively.

        Vigibase: 360,000 additional injuries and fatalities.

        The hospital where I work is being instructed by N.Y.S. that you must take the vaccine if you are a hospital employee. The travling nurse companies are doing the same, the clincis, independent surgical centers, home health care aides and nurses as well. Where do you go if you need to support a family?

        I have taken the vaccinee, because being old, fat, diabetic front line hospital guy it was worth the risk, a discussion I had with my doctor, who is a Pro Trump guy. I fear the hate towards those that question the vaccinee and covid narrative, legminate Medical Doctors, and Ph D biologists, virologist, and infectious disease folks who believe in vaccinees but have questions about this one. OH well, these are the last hours of my Governor Andrew, I think the future ones will be worse, I miss Jimmy Carter, my first time to vote, I voted Jimmy.

          Now here is a physician who went through the early stages of dealing with patients in a hospital setting, month after month. And she always tested negative. She gets her Pfizer and BOOM she comes down with Covid.

          In this article she does not even mention the tiniest possibility that it was the vaccine that triggered the illness. Cognitive dissonance, at your service. She is still a faithful believer, even as she deals with the infection.

            Sorry, you seem to be new here. Please allow me to summarize events based on my understanding of them.

            1. There is no ‘virus’. Dx is predicated on a flawed application of the PCR technology. The ‘virus’ was needed for …

            2. The ‘vaccine’. Rather than a traditional vaccine, this ‘vaccine’ is instead a population control weapon and a source of confusion in and of itself.

            3. Because there is no virus and no need for a vaccine, what stands behind all of this? A database. Insofar as one may be a fan of databases this one is very likely of the relational variety.

            4. What feature makes for the strength and power of the database? Testing and identification. As far as I am aware, all test methods involve submission of body fluid samples containing genetic information.

            Defeat the testing, defeat the threat.

            Then we hang them all.

          My long time personal physician is the most skilled diagnostician I know. His practice is based around taking in a series of medical students and exposing them to the realities of interaction with patients that he has cultivated over the years. When I moved back to his area after having worked in Canada I posed the vaccine question to him. His response was adamant– with your age and risk profile you absolutely should get vaccinated. Just suck it in and do it. boy. I don’t argue with people who have their minds made up, especially with somebody who would loose their hospital privileges if they dared to challenge the Establishment.

          I did however send him a few pivotal studies about Ivermectin effectiveness from my collection.

          We met for a check-up last week. He mentioned that he had COVID for a week recently in spite of being fully vaccinated. He took Ivermectin himself and gave it to his entirely family and experienced only a mild case. Still thinks that is a result of the vaccine inhibiting his infection level instead of the Ivermectin!

        I just came across this video. The investigative citizen journalist claims to have a copy of the letter from the FDA. It DOES NOT give approval to the vaccine. It states the vaccine Emergency Use Authorization is continued for people above the age of 16. He shows the letter on the screen, but my vision is very poor, and I can’t read a word of it. If this is the case, we are being played. It’s bound to come out. I don’t understand how they even think it can be concealed the way people are blowing whistles all over the place. I would like to see it in it’s entirety.

      • Justin August 24, 2021 at 1:14 pm #

        That’s exactly right!
        The FDA approval was expected, and it means nothing to those of us who know what a farce they are, since it lacks the “science” of a real trial, that is ongoing until 2023, and it has no real supporting data or “scientific” debate and discussion. It was a closed door deal paid for by pharma, with no transparency or accountability as usual.
        Not to mention so many previous drugs approved by the FDA that were later recalled due to their adverse effects and health issues.
        They have a horrible track record for safety.
        This approval changes nothing with the vaxes themselves.
        The experimental vaxes are still experimental, and they still have all of their adverse effects.
        It’s nothing more than an obvious political or legal ploy to support the unlawful mandates, which are still unlawful.

        Our reply is still NO!

          Justin

          The Pfizer BioNtech “vaccine” is NOT approved by the FDA for the treatment of the COVID virus. The only FDA approved “vaccine” is the Pfizer patented Comirnady clone that the Pfizer lawyers submitted in an attempt to preserve the under-the-table liability exclusion agreement for the company and its officers. Comirnaty is legally distinct from the Pfizer experimental “vaccine” that is now in millions of bodies around the world.

          Since Comirnaty is now fully approved by the FDA it instantly voids all the temporary ERA approvals under which all other vaccines, including the Pfizer BioNtech one. have been operating. They are all illegal, and with them all “vaccine mandates”, airline travel restrictions, health passes. and similar totalitarian restrictions that are based on them.

          Want to be injected with Comirnaty so you will be legally vaccinated? Good luck since no copies exist in the supply chain or public realm!

          Are you a physician or health care provider? Be aware that prescribing any of the “vaccines” previously being used under ERA’s is illegal and opens you up to malpractice and loss of your medical licensing.

            “You do the best you can to live life in a normal way.”

            True. But some are already struggling.
            Maybe alone.
            The covid twist adds another load,
            narrowing one’s options to deal with “preexisting conditions” (not medical) one is already struggling with.

          • Pete August 23, 2021 at 11:54 am #

            The point I’m making is not that you are a smoker, and thus your discourse reflects that case, but rather a smoker never considers what happens between the warning and the event of their death. The period of hardship.

            That hardship in our context is what I’m referring to.

            Alternatively, I’m afraid of swinging too far in a dystopian direction, where I shoot the wad like it’s 1999. Devil may care, whoopie we’re all gonna die.

          Those of us with offspring, of course, have another layer of anguish and stress. But again, in the end, it boils down to this: my grandpa was 20 when he had to choose to fight the invading nazis or obey them. Many like him died. But to obey would have meant a certain death.

          Incredibly, to resist the man may actually improve your chances of survival.

      My anxiety level is pretty far up almost all the time now.
      This FDA approval is an obvious fig leaf—unrelated to actual testing standards.
      Why don’t people see it?
      It is like a private mint for Pfizer.
      And seriously degrades the credibility of the FDA itself.

        I’m not scared by the actual events.

        What scares me is the fact that so many seemingly intelligent people have so easily bought into all the lies they throw out there.

        It’s been brought out now, what was a known fact from the beginning, that these “vaccines” cannot prevent anyone from getting the virus.

        Yet here it is today, and the entirety of the MSM and much of the medical establishment, and both political parties keep talking about these shots as if they do just that.

          The United States government has learned and taken a page from Joseph Geobbels:

          • Sean Coleman August 24, 2021 at 5:29 pm #

            According to the Big Lie Wiki article there is no evidence that Goebbels ever said or wrote this. From memory, the article contains a quote by Hitler blaming the Jews. Voltaire never said that thing about defending to the death your right to free speech (in fact he did all he could to censor and imprison his enemies; he even tried to get Rousseau killed as a heretic in Geneva by making up things about him). Educated people in the Middle Ages did not believe the earth was flat. There are so many of these.

My mother is dying in the old country, so I’m going through the incredibly stressful process of figuring out a way, for me, an unvaxed reject, to get my ass on a plane for 10 hrs and cheat and coax the system to let me go into her retirement home and kiss her one last time. Will be gone a few weeks in late sept, into oct. I’ll keep you posted.

            Islander, never too late to do it again. A few containers, good potting soil. Rooftop beekeeping. Backyard chickens. Don’t give up.

            Mary, good to take care of the critters – one of the principles of permaculture: some for me, some for you. Don’t forget human permaculture. Gift, gift, gift. Find worthy neighbors.

    Greetings,

    Nothing backs our petrodollar other than the might of our military and our ability to wield it. That said, Biden’s tranny army has been shown to be almost entirely useless and if our generals had any honor what-so-ever, they’d be carving out their guts this very moment in front of the Lincoln memorial. Of course, the only thing that will actually happen is that everyone involved will get awards and promotions.

    That wont help the dollar, though, as our adversaries have now realized that they can expand their empires and economies and there is absolutely nothing our tranny army can do about it. Putting diaper changing stations and tampon dispensors in our tanks doesn’t frighten the Russians and Chinese one bit. I fully expect Taiwan and the Eastern portion of Ukraine to fall within months if not days.

    The loss of respect for our military and its commander means that the US dollar is on its way out and fast. After all, China makes nearly all of what we need and if they demand to be paid in gold and silver (like Libya did) then what are we going to do about it?

    Of course, the moment the dollar collapses we will have bigger fish to fry as “prison rules” take over and we see continental-wide genocide here at home thanks to CRT and the 1619 Project which has fanned the flames of racism. It certainly wont be pretty.

    • Amman August 23, 2021 at 10:00 am #

            Also, no matter what they say, China is NOT food-independent.

            The shortfall is as high as 20% in a bad year.

            To avoid a second Great Famine, China has to buy food from one (or all) of the three countries that can provide it…The U.S., Canada and Brazil.

            China won’t do anything that could provoke all three of these nations to cut them off…unless things get really, really bad.

        The fact that foreigners hold so many dollars makes it more likely to collapse. When the FED’s trillion dollar a month printing habit becomes known and felt, foreigners won’t want to hold dollars long term. They’ll spend them on anything they can – which at that point will be resources and assets within the USA. Hence hyperinflation in the USA and rejection of the dollar as an international reserve currency throughout the world.

        If you had truckloads of North Korean won, what would you do with them? No one in the world wants the NK won except North Koreans. You would have to go to North Korea and see what you could buy with that cash, e.g. lots of kimchee.

    • draupnir August 23, 2021 at 11:47 am #

      Because I am growing increasingly alarmed, I went to the bank yesterday to get some cash. I think maybe physical dollars and coin will still be accepted in a banking crisis, at least for a while, and that’s where we are obviously heading. I don’t trust bitcoin to be there under such circumstance. The walk-in door was locked. The drive up refused my card, as if I didn’t have any funds. The cash machine at Sam’s Club has been removed. I finally found one at a convenience store, but could only get $200 at a time out of it. I don’t get out much, so I don’t know how long this has been going on, but I’m pretty sure our money is on its last legs and the coral is closing.

      • Not_GeorgeT August 23, 2021 at 3:10 pm #

        Accepted “for a while”. Eventually “for a while” expires.

        Energy is needed for bitcoin. Semiconductors are needed. They have a short shelf life, something like 2 years given the heat generated. I don’t have faith in bitcoin.

        Some sort of estimate (no reference to offer) is most households have only a few hundred $$ in cash on hand. It is fiat currency.

        This leads back to PM, which have stood the time test, and barter, which has a similarly long history.

        I do find it interesting you had such difficulty. It is not unexpected, just seems to be a little early in the game.

        yes, last legs

        • draupnir August 23, 2021 at 3:45 pm #

          I’d rather use the worthless fiat first as long as it is accepted. It might actually increase in value for a while, when the digital stuff disappears with a great sucking sound and a cry heard round the world. There’s so little of it, comparatively. The other, if you can hold it, is a get out of jail free card, and the basis for generational wealth–not to be parted with lightly. Meanwhile, I’m making hard tack (you can live on that stuff alone for two months though you won’t be happy) and pemmican. I bought a big bag of ascorbic acid to keep away the scurvy.

          • hmuller August 23, 2021 at 9:23 pm #

            Judging by what has happened elsewhere, in a crisis THEY will limit your access to withdraw your own cash from the bank. And your bank may not even have enough cash to give everyone their daily quota.

            I expect federal reserve notes will work in a crisis for weeks, maybe months, because that’s what people know. And most will expect a return to the old normalcy.

            Access to crypto currencies may be spotty or totally cut off; and if you keep it on an exchange, kiss it goodbye.

            Old US silver coinage (1964 and earlier) will become the best medium of exchange. Franklin Halves and Mercury Dimes are my favorites because every single one is 90% silver. With some other coins the date must be checked with a magnifying glass, i.e. Roosevelt dimes, Washington quarters. Carefully checked because some wise-ass might try to turn a 1968 base metal quarter into a 1963 silver one by with a small file.

          • hmuller August 23, 2021 at 9:33 pm #

            Draupnir, before you go on the “all hard tack-pemmican diet”, you do know there’s canned food with a 20 to 30 year shelf life. I’d encourage vitamin and mineral supplements, & something for constipation. Some people advocate sprouting plants in window sill boxes, because we crave fresh vegetable matter.

          • draupnir August 23, 2021 at 10:09 pm #

            If I have to eat that stuff I will be scraping the bottom of the barrel or on the run. Did you know that they have pieces of hard tack left over from the civil war on display in some museums?

          • AngryFarmer August 24, 2021 at 11:33 am #

            I currently own 17 steers, 11 cows and one bull. Also 30 pigs.

            I’ll keep right on eating steak and pork chops.

            If one is concerned about the sorts of scenarios Mr. Kunstler writes about, one should stop with “canned this” and “preserved that” and save your money for good quality, arable land.

            We are headed for a nasty fall, and it won’t be over in 2 months or 10 months or 50 years.

            I highly recommend learning hydroponics, growing some greens indoors, if you have the means to do so. Grow lights are not expensive, neither is seed (at least now).

          • SpeedyBB August 25, 2021 at 4:20 pm #

            One notion that I have entertained relating to “items of value” to use for barter when Weimar II rolls around and “money” becomes a historical curiosity is to have a stash of long-life antibiotics and other simple medications (iodine, bandages, local anesthetic, whatever).

            Maybe specialized stuff, if you can score it easily and legally: insulin comes to mind. Painkillers, tranks.

            I would imagine that in the case of a general meltdown it would not take long for the pharmaceutical manufacturing complex to run into difficulties and shortages. Demand will not taper off, however; in countries doomed to civil war hospitals are customarily prime targets for raids. Pharmacies too I imagine.

            Just a thought. Here in Indonesia you can buy pretty much anything non-psychoactive right over the counter. I have a foot infection and walked into a local pharmacy the other night to purchase an Amoxicillin variant. Bingo, Ka-Ching, right over the counter, cheap and no questions asked.

            (That kind of “freedom” has of course led to the buildup of fearsome antibiotic resistance among the population at large, who are in the habit of gobbling the capsules like candy, but that’s show business.)

    Interesting take on the future of education and the rise of homeschools. After other “careers”, I got a teaching certificate. During student teaching, I had to observe other teachers. While there are many, many excellent teachers out there, I was shocked to see that even when an “outsider” was sitting in their classrooms, Two out of three teachers achieved almost NOTHING during the hour I observed. One (ironically, a teacher I had in school) literally read the paper during the entire class with me sitting the back taking notes. Can’t say I entirely blame him….at the time, many years ago, things were already going south and I can’t imagine his clientele were interested in biology.

    Even in good schools/classrooms there is much wasted time but let’s face it how many homeschools will do better? How many parents are able to provide adequate instruction in science or math beyond fourth grade? There is a skill to teaching and even folks with the knowledge can’t always explain it in an understandable way.

    I do believe you’re right that there will be new models of home schooling and the network idea will fill in some holes like the science/math thing.

    There are no easy answers but it’s clear to me that we’ve got to do something to improve education for all or we’re going to keep losing ground on almost every front. Democracy will thrive only among an enlightened populace.

      One of the best ways to learn, if not the best, is to teach.

    • Hereward the Woke August 23, 2021 at 10:11 am #

      Hardrock, as a homeschooler, parents can be very resourceful. If you group together, there are always parents who can cover the maths, others who can do the science, and yet others who can offer other stuff. And with the internet, the sky’s the limit. I was hopeless at math at school but learnt by teaching my own kids, using off the internet programs. All you have to do is stay one step ahead of them and pretend you know what you’re doing. Teachers are vastly over-rated, and if they are indoctrinating your kids too, not worth the effort.

      • Hardrock August 23, 2021 at 11:31 am #

        I applaud your efforts, hang in there.

        After 11 years in the classroom and a total of 34 in k-12, I agree with everything you say. But make no mistake, (for those considering homeschooling) it’s not easy and you must be very dedicated. I hated Sunday nights when I was in the classroom because I had three or four preps (classes) and each is like writing a script for a week-long play

        In every school/district, parents know who are the good teachers and amazingly, the educated and knowledgeable parents end up with their kids in the best classrooms. The others get what’s left.

        As for indoctrination…..I served in rural school districts at a time when that wasn’t an issue. If you live in the right places, the teachers (who are often working for the largest employer in the county) are folks who grew up there and want to stay so there’s no other employment options. These are good people with good values.

        One anecdote to show the time and the place. I was in my late 20’s when I started teaching (40 years ago) and my principal at the high school was a combat veteran of Vietnam. I had parking lot duty and one day in the fall, I see one of my students carrying his deer rifle around in the parking lot. I told him to put it back in the car (looking at you Russell) and informed the principal who just waved a hand and said, “tell him not to do it again.”

        • Islander August 23, 2021 at 12:02 pm #

          Tere are lots of materials such as lesson plans etc. for homeschooling parents.

          Which helps. Doesn’t lessen the basic challenge.

          But when one looks at the levels of literacy in, say, 19C USA, when many were taught in one-room schools, it does make one think.

          Of course STEM is another matter. But if you can teach basic literacy, the smart and motivated ones can then teach themselves a lot.

    • D from OR August 23, 2021 at 10:54 am #

      As a parent of a teenager we have made the decision to move to homeschooling. Our only option is to send him to a school where he will have to wear a mask all day, sit 3 feet from others and follow all sorts of hand sanitizing protocols amongst other bullshit. In addition since we are in Oregon we now have to contend with the fact that our genius governor has tossed out the graduation requirements as they are racist.

      What is a parent supposed to do? Are we to send our son to get “educated” by these idiots? Are we to look the other way as they support non-science like mask-wearing and push a vaccine as the solution to their madness? We also have every reason to believe that as soon as there is one sniffle in a school they will shut the whole thing down and then what situation will our son be in?

      We believe that we will not be alone in this move and as Mr. Kunstler points out there will likely be banding together of like-minded folks. And by-the-way their are countless tutors in math and “science” that can teach what we aren’t comfortable with. Lectures on YouTube usually outdo the lame educators the PPS hires so we feel we’ll be fine. The system is corrupt and we don’t want to participate. Simple.

      Our son understands this move but fears a lack of social interaction so we will deal with that by including outside skills classes he can take to fill that gap. In addition we will provide ample opportunity for his friends to join us in our activities and trips. We also have agreed to let him work one full weekday at his grandfather’s business where he will work alongside him and his uncle doing the odd-jobs they need done. The experience of working for a small manufacturer provides window on the work world many don’t get at his age.

      Its OUR job as parents to raise him to be the best he can be. WE are the ones responsible which is why we doing what is best for him. NO ONE – no teacher, administrator, politician or allopathic heathcare whore – cares more than us which is what every parent needs to burn into their brain.

      We are in a battle and they want our son. Homeschooling is our way of keeping *them* and their tentacles away from him. Every parent should be following our lead and if they aren’t then frankly in my opinion they are participating in the abuse and brainwashing of their children.

      • Beryl of Oyl August 23, 2021 at 11:19 am #

        It seems to me the brainwashing really ramped up in correlation with Randi Weingarten’s rise to power.

        She appears to be actively trying to destroy our American system of public education, a system that, for all its flaws, was better than what the rest of the world had.

        Not to say she’s doing it on her own, Barack Obama has certainly had a hand in it.

        In any case, children or learning are not any concern of hers, she even went so far as to LIE about the existence of a new study on mask efficacy, just so she could hold America’s kids hostage to Big Pharma.

        She should not be allowed to be in any position where children are involved.

        Should we blame teachers for electing her?

        Do you think a commie union doesn’t know how to rig it’s own elections?

        • MisterBimmler August 23, 2021 at 1:54 pm #

          John Gatto proved every which way but loose that ‘our American system’ of public education was really just a local adaptation of a system designed in the 18th century in Prussia to crank out masses of loyal and unthinking soldiers back in a time when you stood in long lines and blasted away at each other with shotguns at near point blank range. It was brought up to date and pushed through by all the usual do-gooders who were just eager ‘to help’. The upgrade was to churn out obedient widget tighteners who would not rebel against the JP Morgans and Andrew Carnegies of the gilded age, an era in which striking miners were dispersed with Maxim guns. So the education system is really european and was never about education. More about indoctrination and training to rote tasks. It’s no longer fit to purpose in an age when robots do all the industrial labor. Why should the Great Resetters continue to pay for something they no longer need? Better to run it into the ground and blame the victim as usual.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder August 23, 2021 at 11:21 am #

        D from OR – I applaud you.

        Our boy starts kindergarten a year from now, and we’ve been worrying about school choices…private ain’t cheap and all the godawful unnecessary crap at the public schools is a firm no for us.

        So we’re 99% decided on homeschooling now, and tbh, quite looking forward to it. We pretty much do that anyway most days, we’ll just need to follow a curriculum and schedule. We’ve already found several local homeschool organizations/neighborhood groups that gather for social activities…playtime in parks, sports, nature hikes, music classes, etc…things that get homeschool kids together and help them keep learning how to play and interact as they grow.

        Screw public school. I went to public school and it was just fine. But that was in the 80’s and early 90’s. The buildings may look the same now, but what goes on inside is increasingly unrecognizable in comparison.

        The way I see it (at the moment) is if we can just lay the foundation for his education and values systems at home, give him clear eyes to see the world we know as he matures, then if he wants to hop over to public school for high school or whatever…fine. At least he will be based in some form of real thinking as he ventures out to see how “all the other kids” go to school.

        But I don’t want them getting to him at age five.

        The NEA continue to prove themselves ever more unworthy of that right…and they are getting more dangerous each year, it seems..

          Tip of the hat to you MrMangoOnMyShoulder for putting your kid first. Especially at the “sponge” age. You can handle it.

          I should have mentioned that our son was at a Waldorf charter school until 8th grade. His high school experience at the public school was a waste as only two terms were in person. His entire sophomore year was online and worthless.

          We will pick up where he should be according to Waldorf. This way we can ensure that he acquires the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed instead of being educated to work against himself. That’s what the public schools are doing.

          This year he will be expected to master a skill he does not know now (he has chosen welding) as well learning and acquiring competence in a new sport. From the start of this nonsense we have given him building projects to get him away from the screen and work with his hands. Using the Waldorf style he has been expected to figure a lot out himself. He’s built the chicken coop, turned his kid fort into a garden shed, built new raised beds and next will be a a shed for storing wood (we are in the city by-the-way).

          There will be other benchmarks of course and as we shape this together the more excited he gets which is how it should be.

        It is more than brainwashing. I understand your concerns, we are facing many of them already here in Germany with our 7-year-old son.

        Open resistance and parallel networks are the only options. The reason so many governmental organs both at the national and local levels are corrupt is through at least a decade of corruption in which the organizations behind the Great Reset moved their lackeys into key positions.

        Here in Germany this is very noticible, as many have direct ties to the WEF and associated groups.

        The only thing that is going to work is resistance in numbers. They need to achieve 80% compliance with the vaxx passes, in order to bring in a Global ID — the Self Sovereign Identity Pass.

        I have worked on several documents that came directly from a European government. They were in negotiations with several organizations to develop the passes as early as 2017. This, ofc, means they lied the entire time.

        If these passes go through, get ready for a bumpy ride. The measures imposed for the virus Trojan horse are just the start.

        My non-parent’s 2 cents for parents is:

        It’s going to take more than just homeschooling to send kids out into this world right. They are going to need a clear idea of what the hell is going on in the world. They are going to need an attitude of, and skills that enable, independence and self-sufficiency… and they are going to need resources – community, land, and/or some capital – to live that way.

        End of the 2 cents..

        • D from OR August 23, 2021 at 1:06 pm #

          Thanks for the two cents but since you are not a parent then you can’t conceive of where we’re at in the analysis of the situation and therefore you are stating the obvious.

          It’s preposterous to suggest that we are making this choice without explaining to our bright young man what is going on in the world. To ensure that he is independent and self-sufficient is precisely the point

          As for “resources” they are up for grabs for those who value skills, hard-work, common sense and a purposeful life. A public school will work towards the exact opposite in order to create weaklings and those with a victim mentality.

            i believe this is becoming less and less so, at least in traditional senses. In fact, in my mind, familiarity with a region that is healthier and more aligned to the USA’s actual future might be more valuable than any education or particular career in the not too distant future.

          I was a very naive kid. Only years later did it occur to me he was probably drinking in some hidey hole. Hell, there could have been a whole club of such drinking teachers.

            Not to be a “topper,” but my 11th grade chem teacher left the inmates unsupervised on lab days. This led to many interesting unsupervised experiments, as well as cork fights and the use of the word “chickenfucker” in class. We were left to our devices because the teacher drank constantly, including whiskey between classes (maybe even during them, though it was never seen, only smelled).

      I would suggest a kind of “hybrid” system of home schooling, where kids use a home-school curriculum at home, supplemented by community or church-run schools that meet one or two times a week.

      With elementary aged kids, the idea of meeting a couple of times a week (2-4 hours total) would be to review their work to make sure they were keeping up, look for problem areas to work on, and provide social interaction.

      This would also be the basic plan for the older kids, except for providing them with extra instruction in more advanced work (mainly in math, the sciences, and literature). Truth be told, the only high school kids who take the more advanced classes are the college-bound–and even among them it’s the ones who are planning on careers in more demanding fields. Most of the kids in high school are not taught more than the most basic science and math.

      Probably some kind of minimal tuition would be required, but I think the community would step up to the plate to provide for the really poor families. Tuition could be waived for parents who volunteered to teach classes or provide other support.

      Doing away with the portion of the property tax bill that pays for public schools (and returning it to the taxpayers) would free up a lot of bucks. In my school district, the local contribution to public education is $10 million a year. (Another $10 million a year comes from state and federal funds–so a total of $20 million a year is spent to serve an enrollment of 2,000, at an annual cost of $10,000 per kid.)

      My point here is that an extra $10 milliion a year sloshing around in the local community is a lot of bucks.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder August 23, 2021 at 12:46 pm #

        Something like this is what we’re looking at, and we’ve found many different options so far with only a few days of searching.

        As far as cost, that may become necessary at a certain enrollment level, but most are co-op style organizations that only charge a fee for activities if the parents aren’t occasionally participating as chaperones or volunteering to teach.

    • MaryQueen August 23, 2021 at 11:28 am #

      Take a look at Peggy Hall’s home schooling ideas (she’s an educator). I haven’t delved but I know it’s a community effort:

      http://www.thehealthyamerican.org

      In any case, it’s like with community farming. I have a shitload of squash, but no tomatoes, so I trade with someone who has tomatoes. Same with schooling. The people who can teach math do so, and the ones that can teach English do that. It’s a community effort, not every man for himself.

      I personally know some people who home schooled their kids, I don’t know how they did it, but the kids went off to university without a hitch.

      Sadly, now the universities are ruined too.

    • draupnir August 23, 2021 at 12:18 pm #

      In the old days a small community would hire a teacher for grades 1-8. She would get room and board, moving from home to home, so the burden of her keep was spread around, and a small salary, for which most of the parents ponied up their share, though children of the destitute still got to participate. My grandparents went to such a school, though I believe it was publicly funded in the early 20th Century. The Amish still use that method. The teacher works until she is married, and isn’t much older than her pupils or much better educated than the 8th graders in her class. Boys apparently don’t do that work, as their labor is needed on the farm. Their education is basic and old school, but they graduate people who can read, write, and have necessary math skills, which is more than can be said for many public schools today.

      I had an idea yesterday to start “The 50’s/60’s Schools”:

      Same curriculum I had in Ohio. Same English with diagraming sentences, same books to read (Great Expectations etc.), same science with updates, same history with updates plus shop, automotive, home ec for cooking and sewing, typing classes, putting on plays, gym class, swim class plus chemistry and languages and art classes.

      Make the curriculum fun and interesting. Even teach shorthand!

      Just doing a general course at my high school plus a little algebra I went to Ohio University and became an R.N. in 6 quarters. I even passed chemistry without having taken it in high school because I had good teachers/professors.

      I say, don’t fix what ain’t broken!

      I loved learning as a kid/teen. We could make it happen again, especially if the kids and parents knew they were repeating what was done 60 years ago.

        There was a time just before public education in big cities fell apart. I was in 6th grade in 1974 and the Cleveland west side little elementary schools were still pretty independent in terms of teaching styles.
        At one point we got the local morning paper for a week. We learned the significance of the masthead, what “above the fold” meant, and the difference between news and editorial content. We even learned about the stock exchanges and how to read the stock reports.

        My teacher introduced us to the paper that Monday morning, holding it up in all its glory and said, “Half of what’s in here is lies.”
        30 jaws hit the desktops and she softened it a bit by pointing out that that included people quoted in various news articles lying about what they did or didn’t do. It left an impression that has served me well in being skeptical of what I read.

        Along side handwriting, mathematics, reading, speech,music, art, etc. we also had a rudimentary logic segment along the lines of “cause and effect”. I think we got that as early as 2nd grade. I see what young people are exposed to now and I feel nearly despondent.

          With good reason. About 10 yeas ago I picked my oldest grandson up from second grade & he was telling me about his music class which turned out to be a computer program called “garage band.” Why couldn’t the teacher have taught the kids simple songs? Now they don’t even bother with that.

          Abby wood — To have that school would require the parent’s support & having no computers in the classroom would freak them out. I agree with you& would add one thing — no grade inflation.

        My friend and I went to different doctors this week to get medical exemptions for the vax. We are in CA under different health plans. We are different ages. We have different conditions we were using to attempt to get the exemption.

        We both got the same feedback. “Wish I could but I would lose my license.”

        Apparently, about 2 weeks ago the state of CA issued a warning to doctors that if they are to give an exemption, they will be scrutinized and medical records investigated and face disciplinary proceedings.

        My DR said that the only thing he could give an exemption for was anaphylactic shock which would have to occur in office after one got the vax. Thus, you have to get the vax to get an exemption from the vax.

    Does anyone find it at all ironic that the day the Tailban walked into Kabul (15 August, 2021) occurred exactly 50 years to the day after Nixon suspended gold convertibility, which many consider to be the day the U.S. dollar technically died?

    So the dollar died on 15 August 1971 and, as history may very well judge, America’s hegemony died on 15 August, 2021.

    Biblical scholars may have to update the meaning of the word “jubilee” to include “ a celebration of the cessation of a nation’s ability to wage endless war and confiscation of its peoples’ liberty via the unrestrained creation of fiat currency.”

    And will we then not all enter a season of much needed celebration and joy?

      The foreboding that this age cohort you pinpointed is feeling is from the self-acknowledgement, the reconciliation of this truth.

      The world you were born in, bred in, negotiated, and come to understand is transitioning.

      And you are not needed for this journey.
      You had your part, then.

      But this is now.

      The door is being shut on you.
      You will be left, first to wander, and then to fade away, to black.

    Well, I’ve read the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) statute and regs, and here’s what they say:

    Big Pharma’s immunity from liability is only applicable if the vax is deployed under EUA. If the vax is approved, it would appear that Big Pharma will now be open to law suits from the injured, and class action law suits at that. Have these guys not noticed this provision in the EUA regs and statutes?

      That’s why the desperate push to force vaccines on as many people as possible.

      Now that it is approved, they will seek to make it mandatory, but how will anyone injured be able to sue, as there will be as little as possible of any kind of control group to compare it to.

          There you are; I couldn’t find you on Friday’s roster; thought you may have succumbed to the S1 glycoprotein. Fortunately, not yet. I left a note indicating that there is a recent publication of the first full autopsy of a mRNA induced death. The S1 glycoprotein was found in literally every organ in the patient’s body and there was massive inflammation at those sites. Autopsies are the hard core science side of medicine So, that’s it in terms of the theory that the S1 protein stays at the injection site. It is wrong. The S1 glycoprotein toxin goes everywhere, and hence all the damage and immunopathology being reported.
          Here’s the source for the article.

          June 2021 edition of the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, article entitled, “First case of postmortem study in a patient vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2.”

        I unfortunately doubt that the so called illegit fda ‘approval’ that, by the way was done without the usual processes (reviews, public comment, analysis of side effects), will strip away the legal immunity deal big pharma has with the government. They will still hold on to their immunity deal; otherwise they would not be pushing the ‘vax.’

      • BeeGee August 23, 2021 at 12:23 pm #

        I believe the US has a blanket regulation stating that vaccines in general cannot be grounds for lawsuits. This is why the Gene-therapy jabs are classified as vaccines although they really.

        • neurodoc August 23, 2021 at 12:59 pm #

          That makes a lot of sense and explains why they are so obsessed with calling a gene therapy a ‘vaccine,’ which is is NOT.

        • BackRowHeckler August 23, 2021 at 2:59 pm #

          BG, indeed, pharmaceutical companys are immune from lawsuits, but companys that require vaccination as a condition of continued employment might not be. It might be a good idea to have your lawyer on speed dial if you’re forced to get a shot, and have a bad reaction to it.

          Actually I’d to hear an attorney address this issue.

    • Night Owl August 23, 2021 at 11:30 am #

      I have little doubt that is covered. In every country that this is being rolled out, there are contracts with indemnity clauses that fully absolve the Pharmacos of any responsibility. Pfizer’s contracts are to remain secret for anywhere from 10 to 30 years, depending on country.

      The level of corruption is absolutely off the charts.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder August 23, 2021 at 12:08 pm #

        Then people should sue their respective governments for knowingly putting their citizens in (likely) danger, at a hefty profit, while providing no available recourse for the victims of a medical experiment.

        Of course, suing the government is a real bitch. But if millions of people pitch in, then you’ve got some legal firepower to work with, I suppose.

        • Ron Anselmo August 23, 2021 at 10:35 pm #

          Mango – if you’re suggesting a class action suit, here’s how that racket works out:

          Attorneys typically take the case on contingency, but are entitled to 30% of the settlement as legal fees.

          So, in a case with a million claimants or plaintiffs, that are awarded a $100 million settlement, the attorneys get $30 million, and each claimant gets $70 ($70MM/1MM claimants).

          Chances are, I could turn my couch upside down and shake it and find that much money.

          That’s why these bottom feeders are always trolling for claimants on TV and radio. “Have you or anyone you know, been injured by (fill in the blank)?”

          Full disclosure: I come from 3 generations of lawyers, so I know there are some noble ones, but not many left.

          • Night Owl August 24, 2021 at 2:15 pm #

            Nice breakdown, Ron. Fucking hell.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder August 25, 2021 at 9:16 am #

            Well, I’m not saying it would “work”. But at least it would annoy the hell out of them for a while.

            And it would be a lot more than $100M. Pfizer got hit for $2.3B in 2009 for much less.

          • Ron Anselmo August 25, 2021 at 1:08 pm #

            Mango – you’re right.

            The point of the math was simply to shine a light on what I understand JHK to mean, by his use of the term “lawfare”, i.e. welfare for lawyers.

            In the $2.3B Pfizer suit, the attorneys get $690MM, and assuming 1MM claimants, they receive $1,610 each, 2MM claimants, $805 each – almost all paid by Pfizer’s insurance & reserves – a “cost of doing business”.

            The point is the racketeering in the “justice” system. A system designed & codified by lawyers. Cui bono?

          • Pete August 25, 2021 at 1:55 pm #

            @Ron

            I’ve always associated “lawfare” to mean warfare by lawyers.

            It’s really how I characterize the captured DOJ.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder August 25, 2021 at 2:15 pm #

            Ron – Wouldn’t this be a Trillion Dollar lawsuit?

            You’re right, great for the lawyers. But beneficial for the claimants.

          • Ron Anselmo August 25, 2021 at 3:12 pm #

            @ Pete – after a little research, your understanding of the term seems absolutely correct.

            JHK uses it fairly often, that I’m surprised I continue to take it out of context. Dumbass.

            Some value to it though – I told my father, a retired attorney, about the term, sarcastically meaning “welfare for lawyers”, and he laughed his ass off.

            Thanks for the correction/education Pete.

          • Ron Anselmo August 25, 2021 at 3:38 pm #

            Mango – now you’re getting a little crazy with the numbers. Could be a trillion dollar suit, maybe multi-trillion, even approaching a quadrillion maybe, who knows?

            A well-worn saying of my father, “You can sue for anything, whether you prevail or not, is a different story”.

            Your comment brought another beneficiary to mind – the Indians. In the “Big Tobacco” suit years ago, law firms outsourced “discovery” (primarily document review in preparation for trial) to India for about $18K/year.

            What sense would it make to pay a kid fresh out of Law School in the US, $100K/year to do the same work?

      And that is a prime reason to not let your doctors jab you with a flu shot and the Covid jab on the same day.

      All vaccines should be separated by at least a month so if there is an injury it is easy to see which jab did it.

    Way back in August of 2015 I was at Ft. Meyer, Virginia in attendance for the change of responsibility (retirement) ceremony for a classmate of mine, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Ray Odeirno. Ray is a giant of a bear/man who had always been reputed as a decent, honest, and caring man and general. Listening to him speak that day gave ample proof of that fact. Ray was replaced my Mark Milley who clearly came off as quite the ass clown with his “paying the butcher bill” remarks about moving forward against the enemies of America. He was rumored by the crowd to be a ass-kisser of the highest magnitude, a patsy that Barry Obama could count on through thick and thin. He clearly still serves the man and the agenda and I was quite certain way back then after seeing and hearing him in action on the parade ground that things were going to go South quite rapidly. I have not been proven wrong have I?

      I’ve been thinking about former Attorney General Barr, and how it’s been said that he chose to “protect the institution” over doing prosecutions.

      He couldn’t really believe he was protecting the FBI. Without the guilty being weeded out and brought to justice, the whole system and rule of law starts to collapse.

      The end of the rule of law is bringing America down, and if America goes down the institutions certainly go down as well.

      Barr couldn’t preserve the institution by protecting the guilty.

      • Hereward the Woke August 23, 2021 at 11:01 am #

        Could have been an honest error on his part, Beryl. “Institution” and “Constitution” do sound very similar. No, seriously, Barr is a mystery. Maybe the answer is simple: he’s corrupt or was threatened. Maybe they threatened to put liquid soap in his bagpipes.

      Hammer, I agree, Mr K is the ultimate optimist.

      I’ve been reading your stuff about Peace Corps in Colombia. I did something similar in my youth, in the Middle East. There’s a book you may enjoy, as I did, by Paul Theroux, about a former PC volunteer to goes back to the African village he helped build a school at to find the school in ruins, violence all around, and the guy having a big target on his back for being white, and so assumed, wealthy, gets kidnapped, it’s a terrible story and well written.

      “Ellis Hock never believed that he would return to Africa. He runs an old-fashioned menswear store in a small town in Massachusetts but still dreams of his Eden, the four years he spent in Malawi with the Peace Corps, cut short when he had to return to take over the family business. When his wife leaves him, taking the family home, he realizes that there is one place for him to go: back to Malawi on the remote Lower River, where he can be happy again. Arriving at the dusty village, he finds it transformed: the school he built is a ruin, the church and clinic are gone, and poverty and apathy have set in among the people. They remember him — the White Man with no fear of snakes — and welcome him. But is his new life, his journey back, an escape or a trap? Interweaving memory and desire, hope and despair, salvation and damnation, this is a hypnotic, compelling, and brilliant return to a terrain no one has ever written better about than Theroux.”

    Data out of Israel is pretty bad.

    TL: DR – I think it is hard to overstate how bad the early Israeli booster data looks. We should all hope this changes.

      If the vaccines quit working, we are back to 2/90. If the variants beat our immune responses, are we fighting an uphill battle. For example, one of them went after kids primarily.

      • tresho August 23, 2021 at 10:49 am #

        “If the vaccines quit working” Our ancestors lived with many endemic diseases for which prevention and treatment worked poorly (e.g. TB, polio) until breakthroughs occurred. My mother lost over a dozen of her cousins in the 1930s to TB. If COVID becomes endemic, it will simply join the long list of historic communicable diseases that populations will either learn to live with or die with.

      • Beryl of Oyl August 23, 2021 at 10:50 am #

        They are trying to disguise RSV as COVID, because the evil public health officials caused the increase in children with their delusional lockdowns.

        Governor DeSantis is doing right now what was known had to be done, back in early 2020.

        He is attempting to make treatment that works against COVID available to people when they first get sick.

        It’s really too bad, think how many people suffered and died needlessly because Pfizer and the Communist Chinese were dictating what should be done.

        The goal was always that “passport”, and people getting well was not going to further that goal.

        • SW August 23, 2021 at 11:03 am #

          That’s right. It’s RSV that’s putting kids in the hospital & it can make them very ill. My grandson had to be hospitalized twice when he was only 16 months & the only treatment is o2 by face mask & treat symptomatically. Yet another bait & switch to vaccinate the very young.

          • SW August 23, 2021 at 12:37 pm #

            Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common, and very contagious, virus that infects the respiratory tract of most children before their second birthday.

            For most babies and young children, the infection causes nothing more than a cold. But for a small percentage, infection with RSV can lead to serious, sometimes life-threatening problems such as pneumonia or bronchiolitis, an inflammation of the small airways of the lungs.

          He did recover & it was scary to see him so sick. Parents & grandparents are easy to manipulate with false data, vague threats of what could happen & the always popular guilt that if something DOES happen then your decision not to vaccinate caused it.

            The autopsy showed that the S1 glycoprotein, the toxin of covid infectivity, was found in every single organ in the patient’s body. Autopsies of covid victims are very rare. The medical examiners are very political………they work for the county. Think that thru.

            Rulo – you are 100% correct.

            Never got around to posting the long story of my 17-day battle w/COVID – likely delta.

            Short version is, after a downward trajectory over the first 8 days in bed, on day 10, I dosed Ivermectin (my backstop ace in the hole) that I purchased in Feb 2020.

            The use was off label, because it was the product intended for livestock (mainly horses). The apple flavoring was nice. Lately, lots of MSM hit pieces about it. Go figure.

            I was already having difficulty breathing, and that night was the noticeable turning point – full body response. Days 11 thru 17 were gradual uphill to recovery. Should be bulletproof now.

            Definitely agree with Abby – proactive prophylactic use would probably pay in spades. That’s what I should have done much sooner.

          • Rulo Deschamps August 25, 2021 at 9:50 pm #

            abby, Ron, Iver is under lock and key at the local Tractor Supply, with giants signs mandated by the federales warning off customers. I do keep a much reduced stock of breeding rabbits, waiting for the cooler weather to start rebuilding colonies again since I had to butcher most before leaving the southern farm, but the cashier wanted all kinds of paperwork and I couldn’t be bothered. Maybe online? I should try that.

            Ron, I’m glad you emerged victorious like I said, glad you had an ace in the sleeve. I’d like to get my hands on some, too. A renewed sense of urgency will force me to find a way. Welcome back to the world of the living. It’s a temporary invitation, as we all have to check out sometime. But Carpe Diem, and three cheers!

        Perhaps the virus is mostly taking out those that have been kept alive artificially, eg; those living in nursing homes or in horrid shape? Add to that the obese and those with numerous significant health concerns. Sure there are those taken by it who were seemingly in good health but it’s not super common. Mostly, unless they are elderly, you look at their pic and they are seriously fat.

    • draupnir August 23, 2021 at 12:56 pm #

      Does anyone know if any of the vaccinated are surviving the purported “Delta” variant?

      • ASHAMED August 23, 2021 at 1:34 pm #

        Yes, draupnir, the vast majority are surviving Delta. The problem is, the vaccinated are also producing Delta and other “variants” via selective adaptive pressure. It’s far more sinister when you understand that.

        • draupnir August 23, 2021 at 3:13 pm #

          Yes, I’ve seen the French interview with Luc Montagnier. I understand that those injections are forcing the virus to adapt. However, I understand the viral load in the injected appears greater than the load in the unvaxxed and am wondering about antibody-dependent enhancement starting to show up.

        • Mountain gal August 24, 2021 at 6:25 am #

          I’ve tried to explain this to the self righteous vaxed who just won’t hear it. They insist that it is the unvaxed who are causing all of these variants and not them.

          • draupnir August 24, 2021 at 12:37 pm #

            I don’t even discuss this with the already vaccinated. Since it can’t be undone, I don’t see any sense in scaring them.

    They stole an election, looted the Treasury, flushed the Afghanistan problem down the toilet for now, and have forced the FDA to approve the Covid blood-clot booster shot. They seem to be focused only on the 2022 elections. Keep your seat belts fastened.

        That cackle of Harris’s is involuntary and probably a nervous tic. Just think, if Biden is forced out or resigns, Harris gets to name her vice president. What if Clinton is brought in?

      “The ABC interviewer did none of this. Instead, he asked Biden what he thought when he had seen these pictures and allowed Biden to boast that US personnel had got on top of the situation at the airport.
      This is just one week in the life of Joe Biden, but you could select almost any other week in his career and find a similar soup of certainty, unknowingness, falteringness and arrogance. It is what you get when you have spent a career with a court media asking you about your choice of ice cream and reached the highest office in the land because you weren’t the other guy.

      The world always gets serious again. And it just got serious on Biden’s watch and has shown something that should have been revealed during the primary season long ago: that the man who is now commander-in-chief is not remotely in command of his brief.”

    “This week marks the beginning of the Deep State’s hard time. Its narratives are shredding. Its mind-control measures are slip-sliding away.”

    One of the deepest and most ghoulish deep-state figure, “general” Michael Hayden making news today.

    Of course, it was in the cesspit commonly referred to as “social media”.

    Believing it is a great idea to send the unvaccinated on a one-way trip to Afghanistan, because of course, most of them are also Trump supporters.

    The US is failed state because it can no longer support the heavy veil of dignity. The rot and corruption and decay is far too widespread and voluminous to be covered. Especially the antagonism.

    Here we have a former NSA head agreeing to, if not the death, the banishment, of those declining the experimental “vaccine”.

    And we were told to not worry about the NSA and career MIC plants like Hayden.

        This who oppose the plutocracy and its “deep state” functionaries.
        The bureaucrats that move between the dominating private sector conglomerates and the agency head positions.

        This new enemy is conservative, white, un-woke and unapologetic, Trump supporting or at least conservative, unvaccinated and non-believing in state “science”.

        Hayden is emboldening the rift. The attitudes against this domestic enemy.

        • Socrates-Detroit August 23, 2021 at 12:05 pm #

          As the US has drawn down troops in Afghanistan (and Iraq) on the one hand, with the other, the US government has contracted out military-type functions, such as protecting military installations, and even training, and EVEN supporting in battle, government forces.

          These “contractors”, who are really mercenaries, or “soldiers-for-hire”, make enough money to do this risky work. If they gross $100-200k per year, you can rest assured they cost the US taxpayer double that. Firms like Blackwater.

          For the sake of discussion, if we buy the BS narrative presented by the DoD about “the mission” and “protecting the homeland” and my favorite “preventing another 9/11″ (yes, because the evil plotters huddled in some cave in Afghanistan and planned their evil deeds there….”, we have this:

          In addition to the outsize cost, these private “contractors” create all kinds of legal issues. The UCMJ (United Code of Military Justice) does not apply to contractors. Or does it? What happens when some contractor kills, or worse, molests an Afghan?

          Were these contractors evacuated already? Were they not?

          And of course we have the translators who, like many Americans, believed the US government.

          It is very sad.

          If the Taliban do seek revenge, which may be more understandable than Americans realize, (how many Afghans died by accident on the receiving end of American weapons?) but which I find very upsetting, let’s hope that they don’t torture these people to death.

          In the Matrix, the debacle in Afghanistan is a disaster for the US on so many levels, others here will cover most or all of them. Some US equipment will wind up in Chinese/Russian/Iranian hands, and they will study it. America’s reputation. The future of the dollar as “reserve currency”. In addition to the potential for lots more dead and wounded before this chapter is over.

          But, buried in the news, is a story that is of far more import, I feel, to Americans living in the USA. Especially those in the Southwest.

          As our host warned in his yellow book 15 years ago, the Southwest is starting to run out of water.

          That portends a much bigger calamity for tens of millions of Americans than the debacle in Afghanistan.

          • Socrates-Detroit August 23, 2021 at 12:13 pm #

            Clarification: In no way, do the crimes of Americans in that God-forsaken land, justify the excesses of the Taliban. I’d say the Taliban has probably killed many more innocents than the US.

            Just as in Vietnam… while America prolonged a futile war, leading to an estimated 1.5 million deaths, and while America did commit war crimes, such as My Lai and Agent Orange, the North Vietnamese probably killed and tormented MANY more Vietnamese than the US did.

            In both cases, the US engaged in a dubious war. Besides the cost in American blood, and treasure, by prolonging the conflicts, American actions directly and indirectly probably led to much more human suffering. And in the end, it didn’t make a difference.

            History “rhymes”.

            I found the casualty numbers on Afghanistan very interesting.
            2,300 American military personnel killed. 3,800 contractors killed.

            Although it’s true there are some military contractors who service equipment, run computer systems, even sling mess hall hash. That surprisingly high number tells me most of the combat on our behalf was done by hired mercenaries (mostly . former rangers, seals, special forces, infantry grunts)

    Kudo’s to JHK for gradually joining us tin-foil hatters in believing this much mismanaged government is not just due to stupidity and coincidence. Those in power have a nefarious agenda.

    It’s nearly impossible for the passengers to save the ship when the captain and crew are determined to sink it. The best we can do is secure our persoal life boats and load them with supplies.

      There’s a word for that option: SECESSION

      Of course, I see no reason why the free states should give up the flag and the constitution to the woke crowd. The free states should just kick the tyrannical states out of the union. Subtract the requisite number of stars from the U.S. flag, and present the Wokesters with a new tranny flag to fly over their new national capitol of the People’s Republic of Californication in Sacremento.

      Next, build a fortified wall between us and them.

      Put the military on the border. Tell the Wokesters to keep out. Shoot those who ignore the signs at the border.

      If they get unruly, declare war on the tyrannical states. Invade and conquer and subjugate. Then deal with the communist vermin as we see fit.

          In the months and years just before the Revolutionary War there were countless incidents of conflict between royalists and rebels, many violent, some just shouting and other mischief. In letters, diaries and some press reports, these troubles were often referred to as a civil war.

    Thanks for today’s article, James. I wish I were as hopeful as you sound in that last paragraph. I would love to see the deep state dismantled and scattered to the four winds, as JFK allegedly said they should be.

    Sadly, I fear we have lost all rule of law. Still, we can do our best to keep exposing them, and millions of citizen journalists have been vigorously busy doing just that.

    When they approve the poison jab, I think uprisings are inevitable, as millions lose their jobs and the ability to travel or participate in society.

    I agree completely that alternative ways of schooling are imminent. Parents are sick of the torture and indoctrination of their children. This is a good thing. I think the community academies will be a fantastic alternative to Wokie School, which is where kids go to be preyed upon and groomed by fetishists.

    We are in for quite the clusterfuck shit-show, given all that is coming to a head. Let’s add the regular flu season paranoia that now exists to the pile, plus the new POTATUS admin prediction that ‘white supremacist terrorism’ is imminent.

    Ought to be one crazy rodeo.

      The people who join any kind of uprising In defiance of vaccinations can look forward to the same treatment the “insurrectionists” got for January 6th. They threw the book at them not just a as punishment for “invading” the Capital building but as a stark warning to any public demonstration. The message ? “We will crush you & don’t forget it.”

    I have talked to several hundred people who’ve had the jab. Not one has had any ill effects other than a few who felt “punk” for a few days, usually after the second shot. That makes me wonder if all the stories are bullshit.
    But that aside, why did we elect to pull out of Afghanistan in the summer when it’s “fighting season” for the Taliban and other ad hoc groups? Why not do it in the winter when they are less mobile, but we are not? Mysterious, eh? Sounds like we didn’t think it through, but at least our minds are focused on the true problems of the ages, like equity and transformative justice.

    • SW August 23, 2021 at 11:31 am #

      An agreement had already been reached with the Taliban to be gone on May 1st. Biden & the generals knew this obviously & ignored it. They closed Bahgram AFB instead of using it as an evacuation hub. The Taliban (or so it appears to me) waited three months for them to make good on the withdrawal.

      Why did they ignore this original date? Was this a case of pure incompetence or did they really believe the Afghan army was competent & we could stay there as long as we wanted & ignore the taliban?

      The troops that defected know how to fly those helicopters & run the sophisticated equipment. We taught them. They are not our friends.

    • rainmaker August 23, 2021 at 11:33 am #

      Erik – a 40 something woman we know got the jab – several days later she had to be treated by the doctor for an irregular heartbeat, then her lymph nodes swelled up! She said she was not getting the second jab.

    • Hereward the Woke August 23, 2021 at 11:49 am #

      Erik. Maybe the side effects of the jab are exaggerated, maybe not. We should take all extreme narratives with a pinch of salt. However, even if the vaxx is perfectly spiffing and entirely harmless, the Deep State is totally unjustified in imposing it on people who don’t want it and threatening to create a new form of apartheid. And all for a flu virus that 99.75% of people will survive.

    In the final scene of ‘The Searchers’, Ethan (Wayne) is framed in a doorway, alone, straddling two worlds. Forsook and acknowledged.
    Revelatory.

    Not welcomed into the new domain. The new order of what remains of his vanished past life.

    This where we are heading. An unrecognizable world that not only do we feel we do not belong to, but also a new world we do not want to join.

    This is an often repeated theme in myth making. In many art forms.

    Just as “that will be the day”

        It is called that because of the ease in grasping the attention of the weak-minded. It works. Famously.

        The remnants of Wiki-Leaks re-released a report of the CIA using the rubric of feminism to capture support for the Afghanistan effort. We are fighting this war to liberate women.

        And people fell for it. Or at least settled for it.

            But, as disingenuous narratives so often go, it’s not about the killed.

          Avatar, I’m with you here. Yes, there’s savages in the black community. Many savages, even. I’ll concede that. But not the majority. Not by a long shot. Many, many decent folk, common people just trying to raise their families and put food on the table.

          There’s savages in every group. Back when the law was enforced, they were dealt with, all of them. Law enforcement, propaganda, dog whistles as you say, permissive elected officials stoking the fire by turning a blind eye to the mayhem of one group and blaming all on others.

          Nobody wants the law strongly enforced more than decent black folk. The main contender to dethrone Newsom in Cali, a black from a troubled area, very much pro-police, is accused of white privilege. This is where we’re at. Same in NYC. We have gone crazy.

          Again, I know bricks will fly in my direction here, but in my experience, I’ve met many good honest decent black people, a majority. Whites go beserk, Mexicans, Chinese mafias are famous for vicious revenge killings. I’m not in denial. I recognize problems exist. Feral, ignorant, savage bastards. It’s a long discussion.

          But think about it. They have it where they want us: black v white. Lib v conservative. Pro vaxx v anti vaxx. Secular v religious. Those divisions have always existed, but the level of anger, the foam in mouth hatred, are off the charts. We’ve gone from “I don’t agree with you” to “you must die”.

    Beautifully written. You’re getting there, but you still haven’t identified the motive. Rather, you seem to continue the emotional theme of personified evil.

    Let us not forget that all wars have been resource wars, whether for control of people, territory, tribute or consumables. Even Hitler was very specific about his war aims, goals and objectives.

    Perhaps the greatest irony is that you yourself are among the leading thinkers about the coming resource cliff. Who do you think were reading your books and attending your lectures?

    Do you really think you’re the only one who could logically put all the pieces together? And why must those engineering these events be cast as some cartoonish fiends?

        He suggested that these people are not only easy to control, but they also lack empathy and higher cognitive functions required for nuanced thinking and reasoning.

        David Stockman has been saying for a long time this huge bubble is going to burst but it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Retail is losing ground except for discount places like Big Lots, Dollar General and TJ Maxx. I was in a regular dept store about a month ago and there were NO customers. I think they’re trying to run the lease out and then the mall.

        I’ve never understood the stock market and the fact that they’re a sizable portion of GNP should worry everyone. Especially people who are counting on it for retirement funds.

        Gladiator is a great film that would have been elevated even further if a few key deleted scenes had been left in the official cut.

  38. I walked into the local college gymnasium and got my Moderna shot over 5 months ago, and the booster three weeks later. Feeling great! Enjoying all kinds of additional immunity. Don’t understand why half the country doesn’t want it. Of course, its easy for me. I’m an expert in all the things that have perplexed many denizens of this blogroll: PCR, mRNA, it is all second nature, due to my education and experience. Its hard not to look down on people for being stupid, but I don’t respect stupidity. And not getting the vaccine is exceptionally stupid.

    I refuse to argue anymore. I tell people: ask your personal physician. Go test the mettle of your borrowed ideas with someone with an M.D. See if you have any iron in your spine after facing down a white coat who knows how fucked up you are, privy as they are to your medical history. If you want, go and bother different doctors for all the second opinions you want. Go get the prescription for Ivermectin, if you can- be your own guinea pig. I can respect that, like I respect anyone who climbs into a cannon to discover what it is like to get shot out of it.

    To me, vaccine skeptics at this point are a lot like Don Rumsfeld refusing the surrender of the Taliban at the negotiation table in 2001. We basically won the war, but he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Similarly, I suspect more than a few people are going to be sucking air through a ventilator in the next 12-24 months, if they can get one.

    Meanwhile, “You will then see the rapid assembly of home-schooling networks that aggregate informally into small private academies — and, of course, the biggest losers will be the minorities who lack the cultural mojo to home-school. ”

    In no way, shape, or form is this happening. Our society is built around serving up public education. Believe me, everyone wants these kids in public schools, they need these kids in public schools. Their parents are going to riot should that access be cut off. Some proportion of them spent weeks sweating bullets, crammed in a shipping container to get here for those benefits and they will not give them up easy. If class sizes shrink, for some departed cohort driven by anti-scientific or religious zealotry, it just means teacher-student ratios become more advantageous.

    I am a keen observer of “da youth” and I am discovering that this generation of kids, besides the usual amounts of doubt in the “wisdom” of their elders, is supercharged by the availability of the internet. When they want to know something, they are going directly to the sources they can access in the palms of their hands.

    Mummy and Da-da are not teachers; I know this intimately because I live next to a set of these creatures. It is axiomatic that you cannot teach what you don’t know and the average modern parent is, frankly speaking, not bright and not going to be able to leverage any free time or useful instruction to broaden the intellectual horizons of their own young. I just don’t see any excess organizational capacity among the population to generate a market of sorts for private education, at any level of quality. I can see them possessing enough hubris to think they can do this, however, and it will be a fucking disaster and a very short-term experiment in failure.

    Do you think Da-da is going to patiently teach Geometry and discuss the finer points of literature? Nah. Will Mummy have the patience and dedication to take over what the state so conveniently packaged together with prepared meals and day-care oversight? Fuck, no. Are they going to “chill” at home while the parents are at work? Under the tutelage of some volunteer brigade or glorified babysitters? More like stew in resentment and grow a hatred hotter than the sun.

    Kids turned out from school will evolve in the following manner: they will learn what they want, when they want it, and they will lose all and I mean every shred, of respect for their “elders”. For most kids, such an experience will accelerate any impression that their parents are a burden and an embarrassment. In a race between two institutions, education and the family, which is going to make it to rock bottom first? And it is clear to me that it is the family, because that is the institution being propped up by the other. Only a delusional egoist (as many parents are) thinks they can replace a school as a formative experience. Kids pulled from school by overbearing parents will start looking through drawers for sharp objects.

    A privileged few who aggregate into “small private academies” – something I have a lot of trouble imagining in all but the most wealthy cohorts, who are already set in that disposition anyway, aren’t going to prevent the all the Children of the GMO-corn from assimilating with their generation, in common with the preoccupations and prerogatives that will define it in the set of crises and factors that will unite them in opposition to whatever is left of the cultural and political status quo of the last 50 years. They are going to respond with outright rebellion or passive-aggressive resistance and not going to lie down so their elders just ride rough-shod over them with their ideologies and alt-pedagogy. We’ll be lucky if they aren’t hunting us down and stringing us from lamp-posts so we better be extra careful with the bullshit from here on out.

      Regarding homeschooling: In no way, shape, or form is this happening.

      No, sir. Public schools around the country are suffering dwindling enrollment at a fast pace, this last year especially. Many are seeing 2-3% loss in a year, due to people moving their kids to private or homeschool. Umm, that’s a lot.

      Just wait until there are vaccine mandates for all public schools. It’ll look like birds flying en masse away from an approaching hurricane.

        Not sure that is true everywhere.

        I was just on vacation in a reddish, rural, resort area of a blue state.

        I met a friend who works in education in those parts and she said enrollments at some local schools had shot up 20 or 30%

      His vision of a high quality public school education is absurd. He just wants a captive audience of young minds to poison with his vile dogmas.

      His side thinks they’ve won because they can strap people down for forced vaccinations and censor truthful information from the internet.

        Well stated. I agree.

        Responsible parents who comprehend the damage being done to their children by the Leftist freak show that is the public schools and the teacher’s unions will never look back, now that they are pulling their children from them.

        They realize that private schools and home schooling are the only sane path forward. Public education (government schools) have completely discredited themselves.

        • hmuller August 24, 2021 at 12:02 pm #

          The left chants “Defund the Police”. We should start a campaign to defund the public schools. If those teachers want to keep their well cushy jobs, they must toss the Communist dogma curriculum in the trash!

          And the instigators among them should be frog marched out the door while pelted with school cafeteria food, mocked and derided, maybe slapped with a 2 by 4 just to show our determination to take back America..

      South and Central American cities are way too violent. You’ll live there in really gated and razor fenzed communities with armed guards. Your kids will need to be escorted to the school with a guard. Constantly worrying about kidnapping. Middle class life is very challenging there. You are a target to various criminal elements there and the cops are not much better.

      Of course if you are poor then it is easier once the locals find out you are just another broke ass dude like them 🙂 Could be really enjoyable, they are nice people once you speak Spanish or Portuguese.

One wonders how long it will take for such monstrosities to migrate into communities in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California now that the Biden Regime is striving with all of its energy to permanently dissolve our border with Mexico?

          And that senile old fart in the White House wonders why any American owns, or feels that he or she needs to own, an AR rifle or other firearms for personal protection. Amazing stupidity has completely overwhelmed 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue since January 20th of this year.

    A bill in the California legislature seeks to ban anti-vaccine protests outside of vaccination sites including hospitals and doctor’s offices. Protesters would face six months of imprisonment and a fine if the bill passes into law. Freedom protesters including doctors and nurses have been peacefully demonstrating outside of hospitals recently, sparking panic among a globalist medical class that pushes the vaccination agenda at all cost. Can patriots in California stop the Senate bill SB 742 and protect some semblance of free speech in the G0lden State?

    On August 19, SB 742 was placed in the legislature’s “Suspense File” category, which means the bill will be considered at a later date in a rapid-fire process alongside other bills that have been placed in the file for being fiscally significant to the state.

    The bill states: “SECTION 1. Section 594.39 is added to the Penal Code, to read: 594.39. (a) It is unlawful to knowingly approach within 30 feet of any person while a person is making the approach within 100 feet of the entrance of a vaccination site and is seeking to enter or exit a vaccination site, or any occupied motor vehicle seeking entry or exit, for the purpose of obstructing, injuring, harassing, intimidating, or interfering with that person or vehicle occupant in connection with any vaccination services. (b) A violation of subdivision (a) is punishable by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding six months, or by both that fine and im

        Meanwhile a wellness consultation posts,
        Someone got the clot-shot death-jab and will probably be dead soon because of it.
        Everyone who gets it will die soon because that is what it is designed to do.

        The eugenicists are thinning the herd and all the stupid people who take the jab will die.

          If true, Malthuss, it will have to be due to long-term complications because despite many deaths and medical side-effects, most recipients seem to tolerate at least the initial jabs without dropping dead.

          Despite my constant warnings, educational efforts, and repeated admonishments, my mother, my sister, and my brother-in-law have all succumbed to the latest fear porn and taken the vaccines in the past two weeks. All found the side effects of the first shot highly disagreeable, but all are also still upright and breathing. I pray they remain so, but continue to be convened about what may come further down the road for them.

        Alabama passed legislation in May to prohibit any level of government in the state from issuing vaccine passports and further prohibiting any private business from asking about vaccination status or otherwise discriminating against members of the public who are unvaccinated.

        Now we need a law prohibiting employer mandates.

      If going by education, the info. I saw was that it was those who had completed only high school or a GED and those who had at least one PhD that were most unlikely to be swayed.

    FDA approval for these death concoctions are as predictable as a shoot up in Chicago’s Garfield Park at 2 a.m. Saturday.

    The below quote is from 2017:

    ————–

    “The FDA’s growing emphasis on speed has come at the urging of both patient advocacy groups and industry, which began in 1992 to contribute to the salaries of the agency’s drug reviewers in exchange for time limits on reviews. In 2017, pharma paid 75 percent — or $905 million — of the agency’s scientific review budgets for branded and generic drugs, compared to 27 percent in 1993.

    ‘The virginity was lost in ’92,’ said Dr. Jerry Avorn, a professor at Harvard Medical School. ‘Once you have that paying relationship, it creates a dynamic that’s not a healthy one.’

    Industry also sways the FDA through a less direct financial route. Many of the physicians, caregivers, and other witnesses before FDA advisory panels that evaluate drugs receive consulting fees, expense payments, or other remuneration from pharma companies.

    ‘You know who never shows up at the [advisory committee]? The people who died in the trial,’ lamented one former FDA staffer.”

      Soul F,

      What is the source of that quote?
      I would like to send it to my list.

      How naive are people, to think that this approval means anything?

      I certainly hope that the approval leads to a tidal wave of lawsuits aganst Pfizer, regardless of any deals made with the USG.
      Has Congress voted on holding Pfizer and Moderna harmless (or whatever the term is)?

      And why have they been given a monopoly?

      Because the overall aim is to destroy America and the western way of life and replace with a few million helots ruled over by all powerful psychopaths. Anything that kills large numbers of plebs and disrupts the system is good news for the psychos. Obama tried to bring down America but was too stupid, arrogant and lazy to do the job. Now the globalists have figureheads in almost every government whom they can manipulate. When the military and healthcare staff go, society is well along the way to collapse. The good news is that many military personnel are resisting and 75% of nurses in NYC have refused the jab.

    • Disaffected August 23, 2021 at 3:05 pm #

      The military has drones and nukes. No need for boots on the ground anymore. Healthcare workers are expendable as well, as they don’t plan to take care of anyone during the next round anyway. Just die peacefully in place and the handful that are eventually left will either clean up the mess later or just cordon it off until all the body’s rot. Unless you’re occupying prime real estate, it won’t be an issue.

      • Dr_Wellington_Yueh August 23, 2021 at 3:09 pm #

        The ‘boots on the ground’ were to have been private armies – “The Private Army Formerly Known As Blackwater” – Erik Prince. Since the AFG debacle, I wonder how many mercs will trust these masters anymore.

      There is already a shortage of nurses all of whom have been fired or quit for refusing the jabs.

      And many are ICU nurses who fought in the trenches a year ago on Covid wards.

      I’ll betcha most of them have natural immunity but “the scientific authorities” refuse to recognize natural immunity (except Cleveland Clinic).

Durham and the coming criminal indictments, the collapse of the COVID-19 hysteria, Afghanistan getting worse, a crash in the stock market, and election fraud revelations.

Anything to tarnish the image of the United States and further alienate thinking people around the World who decide whether or not it’s a good idea to take up with certain people. The ‘paralysis’ is necessary to intensify this ongoing atrocity on multiple fronts.

    “Covid-19 is an expedient device for exercising the most severe control over the daily life of Americans…”

    The Deepest of the Deep State is never touched by anything. Their nests are feathered and well-protected. And no one even has a clear idea of what their damned names are.

    According to the FDA release today regarding Pfizer, it is apparently not “approved”, as all media outlets seem to be saying.

    The wording appears to describe it as a reissuance of approval under Emergency Use Authorization, as well as approving EUA for younger kids, including those who have recently had organ transplants.

    Sounds more to me like a sanctioned broadening of the “emergency experimentation”.

    Greer penned a Potemkin-Village take on the rout in Afghanistan and in an update linked an essayist with an historical perspective worthy of consideration:

    https://tinkzorg.wordpress.com/2021/08/16/farewell-to-bourgeois-kings/

    Ultimately government rules through consent of the governed. How is consent generated and sustained? The author suggests via metaphysical means — an epoch-defining belief system (Great Chain of Being, for example). Kings retained their divine authority despite debacle and defeat — or more accurately, the Idea of King retained its authority until… it didn’t. Inflection points in history happen. The author argues The Professional Managerial Class (which assumed control from what was left of royal authority) may have finally destroyed its legitimacy.

    Here’s the author’s own words, with edits for brevity. Note the past tense:

    Western society today is openly ruled by a managerial class. Where kings once claimed a divine right to rule… the technocrats of today base their claims to lordship not necessarily on the idea of the democratic will of the people, but on the historical inevitability of technocracy as such. Just as there once was a properly ”socialist” way to understand great literature, there is today a properly technical, scientific, or ”critical” (in the academic sense of the term) way of understanding war, nation building, cinema, primitive marriage rituals, or whatever else. Our managerial leaders deserve to rule us, because managerialism as a world ethos is the only means of effecting functional rule in the context of a modern, international, post-national, information driven, knowledge economy, rules-based… well, you probably already know all the familiar buzzwords beloved by this class of people. Kings ruled in the epoch of monarchies, because only kings could rule, or at least so they all claimed. Technocrats rule our post-Soviet era for very much the same reason; they are, according to the legitimating narrative of our age, the only ones that can rule. Much like you can’t put a monkey in charge of a battleship, you can’t possibly hope to rule a modern country without being part of the educated managerial class. And just like the kings of old, our technocrats at one point claimed (and even enjoyed) a form of quasi-magical power in the eyes of their peasantry; a view once commonly shared that they could use the very thing that made them rightful rulers – science, logic, rationality, data – to lay on hands, cure ills, and improve society.

    Put plainly: managers, through the power of managerialism, were once believed to be able to mobilize science and reason and progress to accomplish what everyone else could not, and so only they could secure a just and functional society for their subjects, just as only the rightful kings of yore could count on Providence and God to do the same thing.

    Serious question: what would you do if given the authority? Have a nice fireside chat where you try to calmly and patiently explain the laws of physics to the great mass of people?

    That the world’s greatest petrol deposits – the foundation of 4 of the 7 sisters – while only just found in the 1900s are well past their peaks?

    That one’s very existence of being born is owed to this incredible one off surplus event, as the globes natural carrying capacity is closer to 500m to 1b individuals.

    Do you see the absurdity? How can anyone think people will mutually share the burden of each step down stage on a path to achieve a peaceful transition to a “world made by hand”?

    So again I ask what would you do? My guess is exactly what we’re seeing. Control access via bio ID, while slowly eliminating any last vestiges of the past.

    The target are children, to be raised in an environment completely alien to our own experiences.

    • Disaffected August 23, 2021 at 7:22 pm #

      Excellent points all. There are no good alternatives at this point. All of those have been long since been forsaken piece by piece.

      I guess I always imagined they’d just let it hit a brick wall at full speed and deal with the carnage then (which you might say is exactly what’s happening now), but now we’re seeing it unfold in real time.

      I guess I’m also just sorry that it’s being dealt with so transparently dishonestly, as if the so-called “masters of the universe” couldn’t come up with something better than the current theater of the absurd. But then again, for all our material accomplishments over the past couple centuries of cheap energy oil riches, we’re not that bright as a species, something we’re loathe to admit.

      The upside is, the idiots imposing the current game on us all are highly unlikely some out of it alive and well either. I’m old and no longer give a fuck anyway, so let’s all get on board and ride that painted pony and let the spinning wheel spin one last time!

      M. Night Shymalan’s movie “The Village” is about people who form a cult devoted to safety and then use orchestrated fear to police their children and keep them docile and ignorant of anything beyond a narrow existence. The ruling class is now using orchestrated fear among all of us, but especially children–forced masking, forced social distancing, forced indoctrination, forced vaccination. The goal is total obedience and the goal will be reached once people learn to fear their own disobedience.

          I think Rulo is right, as he so often is, a system is being put in place to manage resources, the environment, equality, equity and all the other buzzwords you see bandied about at the moment. The idea is to manage exponential population growth against the backdrop of resource depletion and a finite carrying capacity.

          What’s that going to look like? Well, to achieve the above you need to micro-manage people’s lives and be able to readily dictate what they can and can’t do. It’s going to look like hell. A horrible way to live. I would much rather it go to a game of last man standing than live in some technocratic prison. To the victor, the spoils, good luck to us all.

    31 year-old ex-NHL player Jimmy Hayes suddenly dies. No site has released cause of death. People are already being shamed for speculating, but can you blame anyone for immediately wondering if he’d just taken his 1st or 2nd jab, or booster?

    The biggest death demographic within 72 hours of those receiving the poison is: young, athletic, male. Hayes checks all the boxes.

    One thing is certain: if/when there are 3 or 4 other sudden deaths of healthy, fit young men in the public eye going down, with a concomitant refusal to divulge cause of death, even the sports-obsessed normie fans might get a clue.

    I’ve been thinking. The joint chiefs, including the Coast Guard Commandant, have, by my count, 343 accumulated years of service plus 18 university degrees. For those nine fellas that’s an impressive span of time and array of intellectual achievement. The combined annual military budget for all those services is around three quarters of a trillion dollars, total active duty personnel around 1.4 million.

    The State Department has, by my count, around 69 thousand employees, an annual budget of around 53 billion dollars. Its top three people have six university degrees among them, again, an altogether imposing line-up of numbers.

    The US has, by my count, nineteen intelligence agencies. I didn’t spend the time to ferret out the budget or staffing because by now you’re getting the picture, but the combined annual budget is for sure in the tens of billions.

    All this, and also given that the US was in Afghanistan for 20 years, with all these massive resources, and that doesn’t include the effort against the Soviets in the 1980s, and it ends in a fiasco like this? Why did all these guys running all this stuff bother going to college? What for?

    And people say defund the cops. I would say there’s a raft of stuff that you might as well “defund” as it’s obviously just money thrown away. But I wouldn’t start with the cops.

    In doing so standing alone they have broken the law and thus have irrevocably destroyed their authority and any reason for anyone to ever do anything based on them ever again.

    Let me explain.

    Under black letter law an EUA is illegal if there is an alternative that is considered safe, effective and available. This was the reason the FDA did not (for 18 months!) run the studies and evaluate them on other early-intervention drugs for Covid-19. We all know what they are. I’m living proof they work too, as are millions of others worldwide.

    But, more-importantly, this “full approval” voids all other vaccine EUAs for Covid-19. That is, under the law the Moderna and J&J instantly became illegal to offer or use within the United States.

    The makers can apply for full authorization, of course, but the EUAs are void as of this morning and under black letter law cannot be administered to anyone in the United States as they are now unlicensed and unlawful products in human beings until and unless they are given full approval themselves. No medical provider can offer or administer any other than the Pfizer Covid-19 shot in the United States as of the moment of that approval.

    You can bet the law will be ignored; note MRNAs stock price this morning. It should have instantly been cut in half.

    In addition the FDA broke the law itself when it issued the “approval.” The law requires a full hearing and the data from the full set of trials; the trials are not capable of being completed until early 2022 by the original submissions and they deliberately did not hold the hearing. This is a black letter violation of the law as well, but nobody cares.

    As for me, I don’t give a crap.

    I’ve been infected, 98% certain it was Delta (because that’s all that’s circulating right now in the US where the index case I got infected by came from, and I know who it was) and am recovered. I hit it with meds immediately and I’m fine. I know, scientifically, it was Covid-19 and not some other virus as I now have IgG antibodies and did not for the previous 18 months which I know factually as I repeatedly tested myself.

    There is thus exactly zero medical benefit I can derive from the jabs.

    I will walk without fear into a Covid-19 ICU unit right now without any PPE on whatsoever. I have no fear of this virus because as with every other viral infection of note including those that are much more-dangerous than Covid, such as measles, prior infection and recovery produces durable and stable immunity in essentially everyone who has a competent immune system, and I do. Those of you who trust the jabs to be equally effective to an active infection and recovery are free to come with me. I will bet my life that I’m sterile immune to the virus as a result of said infection and recovery. Are you willing to place the same bet, given the many known failures to protect by the shot, including Jesse Jackson and his wife, both of whom are in the hospital with Covid-19 despite being vaccinated in a very public spectacle in January of this year?

    There you have it.

  72. Q. Shtik August 23, 2021 at 8:37 pm #

    I am recalling my childhood years. I was born in Nov 1940 so for the first 10 years or so there wasn’t even television. Thus there was no Sesame Street to teach me the alphabet, numbers, colors, animals, days of the week, months of the year (30 days has September, April June and November etc.) and the unintuitive analog clock face. Why does the “day” begin in the black of night? Why at 12 and not at 1?Why isn’t Monday the first day of the week? Kids want to know. And when TV did arrive in the average home about 1950 there was only Howdy Doody.

    So it wasn’t till around age 5 or 6 that I began to get some formal education. Grades K thru 3 happened at Stoy School which was just down the road from Crystal Lake Pool where I caught polio in the summer of 1949, or so my mother firmly believed. From what I’ve read about the polio virus and its causes and sources, Crystal Lake was a likely culprit. Actually, after a week or two in Kindergarten they pushed me ahead into 1st grade.

    It was one of those deals where because of my birth month I would always be one of the oldest kids in my class or, if pushed ahead into 1st grade, I would forever be among the youngest kids in my class.

    I think what the school authorities did was to observe a kid for awhile to see if he/she/it was socially advanced enough and “played well in sandbox” to fit in with children who were nominally one year older. Thus, as time rolled forward, I entered college at the tender age of 17 when nearly all my classmates were 18 or even 19. If I had it to do over I’d prefer being older than my typical classmate. One year means a lot when it comprises almost 6% of your life to date.

    If memory serves, each classroom in grades 1 thru 3 had the letters of the alphabet displayed horizontally above the blackboard with uppercase letters above the corresponding lowercase letters. The teacher would write on the blackboard with white chalk and clear away “her” writing with an “eraser.” (Note: never had a male teacher until 8th grade.) By day’s end the erasers were loaded with chalk powder and needed to be taken outside and “clapped.” This chore would be done by very willing child volunteers known as brown nosers. Today, I’d guess, blackboards and chalk have totally given way to whiteboards and marking pens.

    The alphabet letters were all in some common font as might be used in a child’s book such as “See Spot Run.” Slowly but surely we children learned to “print” on lined paper where “capitals” (another name for uppercase) took up two line spaces and the lowercase “small” letters took up one space. One of the skills that kids were graded on was “penmanship” which, to tell the truth, was generally pretty dismal until maybe 3rd grade.

    At some point they began to teach writing in “cursive” which in those days was called “longhand.” The alphabet letters displayed above the blackboard were now in perfectly formed longhand. Some of the more obsessive compulsive pedants like me would practice their writing diligently. By the time my own kids came along there was less and less emphasis on what some called “writtin’ writin’ and so, by my standards, their penmanship was and still is pretty awful. Conversely, my mother’s hand writing is amazingly perfect. Born in 1911, she grew up in a very different era. It’s my understanding that many schools have done away entirely with teaching cursive.

    Simultaneous with learning the formation of upper and lower case letters, both printed and longhand, we were made aware of when “capitals” should be used, such as the first letter of the first word of a sentence or the title of a book or a headline in a newspaper. The only capitalization rule that seems universal and inviolable is the first letter of a sentence although there might possibly be some obscure exception. The motto of the NYT which appears in the upper left corner of the front page reads “All the News That’s Fit to Print”. I have no idea why ‘the’ and ‘to’ do not begin with capitals.

    Along about 30 years ago when computers and email had become ubiquitous a fad developed where a writer of an email would completely do away with capitals, even for the first word of a sentence. This has always annoyed the shit out of me. The higher the rank of the writer in an organization the more prevalent was the adoption of this fad. As lower ranking employees began to notice this THEY began to start sentences with lower case letters as well.

    I have a theory as to what drives this no-caps fad. Email which, by the way, was spelled e-mail in its early years of existence, became a great burden particularly to executives who were drowning in a tsunami of the shit. Just reading all of it much less replying to it became a nightmare. A high-ranking engineer I used to carpool with went to an off site class to learn how to deal with the flood of email. Rule number one was to ignore email you recognized as having come from low-ranking nobodies.

    So, some higher ranked employees started to write entirely in lower case. The message in doing this was “I am a very very busy man!! Who’s got the fucking time to depress the goddam shift key to make capitals!?” Before you knew it emails from “joe” in the maintenance dept contained no caps…a poor man’s grasp for greater stature. This CFN forum had a number of no-caps commenters over the years (a guy with the handle Orionoir comes to mind) but I can happily report that this fad has largely petered out except for a few remaining die-hard assholes.

    To be continued…………

    • Soul Forensics August 23, 2021 at 8:59 pm #

      Many people who use lower case for “i” or at a sentence’s beginning do so out of a hilarious Woke linguistics. It goes back decades. “I”, of course, in clever Wokery, emphasizes White Male Supremacy in that the capitalization is a symbol of dominance. (I am not making this up.) It’s also the same for place names. Killarney, Florida, the Milky Way …

    • rube-i-con August 23, 2021 at 9:05 pm #

      ~off site~ should be hyphenated above

      leaving non-capitalisers aside for a moment, what really is extraordinarily, vomitingly annoying is the way too too many German (and likely other European) companies have names that begin with lowercase letters.

      i assume it indicates that such firms are part of the kingdom of chique

      Thank you, very nicely written synopsis of your educational background. As a Millennial right on the border of its cut-off, I too recall the longhand posters above the chalkboard and the penmanship lessons I had in grade school.

      I have always believed that a computer should only serve as a supplement to your toolbox of skills. One should still learn proper grammar, how to write, etc. There is no substitute for a nicely written thank you note on fine linen paper.

      I have also always wanted to mention, does it really take more than a second to go back and re-read what you typed before posting or sending? You can catch all kinds of errors with a quick read over. Most of the time it is pure laziness and carelessness.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention added 16 new countries to its “do not travel” lists on Monday, bringing its COVID blacklist count for “high” and “very high” risk nations to 130, which encompasses just about 2/3 of the globe.

    “I spent some time thumbing through the vaccination rates of these sickly countries, expecting to uncover that they are teeming with anti-vaxxers setting the dangerous example on which American cities and corporate employers were now mandating COVID double jabs. Surely “Don’t be Gibraltar” is about to become the CDC’s official slogan.

    Except Gibraltar somehow boasts a 116.4% vaccination rate, how is that possible? This 116% is of their entire 2.3 square mile population, which includes newborns. Assuming they aren’t vaccinating anyone under the age of 12 with their Pfizer vaccines, that means foreigners are either crossing over from Morocco, Spain, or Portugal to get vaccinated, or Gibraltar is well into administering third doses of Pfizer to their already-fully-vaccinated population. Either way, I’d be interested in hearing what Slate’s reporter on-the-ground in Gibraltar has to say about his country landing on the naughty list after his April 27th article gushing about his sense of relief and guilt about being somewhere so fortified against the virus.

    What about Malta, then? Those Mediterranean loons with their olive oil and yogurt diets. We all know they must worship at the alter of Andrew Wakefield in Malta.”

    Where does that 39% figure come from?

    The “three deaths” link from your link took me to a single report from JAMA (geez, no conflict of interest there between Big Pharma and the paid-off review journals — see my post upthread at about 1:40).

    Also, VAERS reporting is ostensibly voluntary, contradicting her assertion. Estimates are that death and disability reports make up only 5%-10% of all comparable events.

    Also, that report was on only one condition of the death-and-disability shot: thrombocytopenia.

    Also, that report encompassed the period between March 2 – Apr 21, a period in which only a minority of people had received the initial jab. ?

    Also, and finally, if you believe the numbers at all (misrepresented for many reasons), you need to investigate why Covid-19 is listed as cause of death for regular pneumonia, death for run-of-the-mill flu, death directly tied to other co-morbidities, etc). Could money and control have anything to do with it? Nahhh, the medical/political authorities have your best interests at heart.

    If the reporter wanted to be honest and forthcoming, from this June 14th posting (a Covid eternity ago), she would have been able to come up with a much stronger case than this puny attempt.

    The FDA Approval Letter of the Pfizer Covid-19 Jab posted on the FDA website requires extensive further post-approval studies of possible adverse effects related to Myocarditis and Pericarditis. It looks like the FDA basically said that the FDA doesn’t have enough data to evaluate the safety of the Jab in relation to its effects on the heart and the blood circulatory system.

    I take this basically as an admission that the Pfizer Covid-19 Jab
    fucks up the heart and blood circulatory system.

      They probably figure that no one will read the FDA Approval Letter for the Pfizer Covid-19 biological solution and that the MSM reporters won’t ask any questions?

      They’re all insane….

      “Chronic and recurring pericarditis may be caused by autoimmune disorders such as lupus, scleroderma and rheumatoid arthritis. These are disorders in which the body’s immune system makes antibodies that mistakenly attack the body’s tissues or cells.”

      It is not unprecedented for a drug to be removed from the marketplace some time after approval. Turn on the radio and sooner or later you will hear an advertisement beginning with the phrase “if you were prescribed XXX” followed by “you may be eligible for compensation.”

    I find myself also intuiting that there is no debacle, no mishaps and no mistakes. The architects and engineers reviewed the demolition plans and found them to be good. The final looting is underway and the blueprints for the next phase are there for all to see at the Tropic of Capricorn. If that doesn’t reach you then consider that the same “caring” institution that fast track approved Pfizer’s “covid” gene therapy is the same institution that approved oxycontin and fentanyl. They will syphon your life and will with fear. It is now time to cross the fear boundary into the unknown. Only God, yes, only God can help you now. There is no one coming to the rescue. The rescue must come from within us. Otherwise, the growing darkness just beyond the twilight will surely blot us out forever.

        Well I suppose I wouldn’t put that past them either. But it seems that they are attempting to get most of the coercion in via psychological and social means for now, before resorting to the messy stuff that is. Their programs have been smashingly successful. Especially if the stated percentages of the vaxxed are in fact at least close to truth. If so, the majority in many countries are already on an execution timeline as we type.

    “I left a note indicating that there is a recent publication of the first full autopsy of a mRNA induced death.” –neurodoc

    From the article neurodoc referenced:

    The autopsy revealed that this 86 year old who died (sometimes happens at age 86!) had a history of other medical issues:

    “The kidneys revealed both CHRONIC damage with arteriolosclerosis and interstitial fibrosis, and acute renal failure with hydropic tubular degeneration. The examination of the brain revealed a left parietal pseudocystic tissue necrosis, which was diagnosed as an OLD INFARCTION area.”

    News flash: an old guy, 86 years old, who has pre-existing complications, dies 26 days after being vaccinated! Must have been the vaccine! NOT. Correlation is not causation.

    News flash: 300 million doses of mRNA have been administered. A year later one guy dies. Compare to hundreds of thousands of deaths from Covid-19 among the unvaccinated.

    No, this is a case of death by hospital, and complications from chronic conditions: “On day 24, a patient in the same hospital room as our case tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. On day 25, our patient tested SARS-CoV-2 positive by real-time PCR (RT-PCR)”

    Neurodocs report on the inflammatory effects throughout the body is scary.

    The really scary part is that it counters the very basic claim of the pro-vaxxers that the mRNA lipoprotein never gets into the bloodstream, it stays in the muscle to do its spike generating and immunity reaction. This is the basis for the safety statements.

    Now, this was an autopsy, this person’s system did not work right with the vaccine, supposedly. They died. Why? My primary bitch, no data.

    One person died because the immune system took off everywhere. Was it because the mRNA went everywhere and attacked the ACE receptors that are everywhere. How did they get to the bloodstream to cause the systemic effects?

    Or was it the s proteins that somehow got into the bloodstream and spread all over causing systemic inflammation. How did that happen?

    Other questions. Was this person an exception, an immunity oddball?

    As I have said before, how controlled is the injection itself, do the millions of shot givers pull plungers back to check for blood return? Are a certain number of jabs going directly into the bloodstream? Is this just collateral damage to the medicos?

    So far we have one autopsy report that is catastrophic for this vaccine. Everything else is hearsay. It is bad news, no doubt that the basic concept of mRNA is violated in this person. But

    How many flu vaccines do the same, or measles, or polio. Do bad injections, for example, cause systemic inflammation in what percentage of cases.

    Why is the percentage of people affected seriously bad so small?

    What markers or indications could root out the people that will react badly, like autoimmune cases, and keep them from getting jabbed?

    The lack of data is appalling. Disgusting. Instead of investigations into adverse effects, we get one autopsy after nine months.

    Is that criminal negligence?

    • gustafson.robert.22 August 24, 2021 at 7:58 am #

      These are good questions. Data does seem to show though that the vaccine doesn’t vaccinate.

      The line is it doesn’t prevent infection but it “lessens symptoms of an infection.” I’d like to know if there’s any truth to that. If it has any efficacy at all (if it doesn’t kill or maim you). And I’d like to know what the real threat of covid is with better diet and vitamin therapies, or non-vaccine drugs…not just oxygen and ventilator, which obviously doesn’t work. And I’d like to know how many covid infections are just misdiagnosed, garden-variety pnemonia…

      • Islander August 24, 2021 at 10:29 am #

        “The line is it doesn’t prevent infection but it “lessens symptoms of an infection.” I’d like to know if there’s any truth to that. ”

        There is no way to prove a negative.

        One would need carefully designed and carried out RCTs to establish whether symptoms are lessened for jabbed. Because there is no way to be sure that they would have even gotten covid-19 if not jabbed.

        That is because the “effectiveness” of the jabs that is ballyhooed is “relative,” not absolute.

        And then, the excuse for not doing RCTs with these jabs is that they are so “effective” (pre-established premise) that is would be unconsionable to “withhold” the jab to a control group. This is of course circular reasoning.

        But, of course, all medical trials involve some risk, which is why poeple are PAID to participate in them. How many college students paid for their text books by participating in medical trials?
        A lot. The studies used to be posted on college bulletin boards.
        And of course a lot of other people were paid to participate in studies.
        And of course many people in Third World countries ended, and end, up participating in medical trials without their knowledge and informed consent.

        Not only the practice but also the whole concept of medical trials is being corrupted and even in effect denigrated and devalidated in favor of “emergency treatment.”

        • JohnAZ August 24, 2021 at 11:11 am #

          Yup, no data.

          It allows both sides to make the unsubstantiated claims that have marked this debacle since it’s onset.

          No real data on the disease onset and run in 2020. The test was flawed, death counts were probably over stated, even today we cannot do a comparison between alpha and the flu.

          No real data on the efficacy of the vaccine or it’s adverse effects. How effective is the alpha vaccine against delta????

          If I wanted to do a risk analysis of whether to get the shot now, it would be meaningless.

          Contrary to your opinion, I do not think we know if the Covid adventure is a hoax or not. We do not have enough info to make that determination.

          Myself, I think Delta is harmless enough that everything should be relaxed, people should have the choice of getting vaxxed, or wearing masks or whatever.

          Will the government let loose the control it has acquired? Not without a fight!
          One autopsy of data on what the vaxx is doing is criminal, what the hell are we paying the CDC for anyhow?

          I look at Arizona’s cases and deaths regularly. There is a huge difference in the ratio of deaths over cases compared to last year. Deaths are way down. Is that the vaxx? Or the effects of delta?

          We will probably never know.

            I notice they just approved the Pfizer vaxx in the FDA.

            Based on what? Has anyone seen the database that decision was made from?

            Does the raw data in VAERs, which has not been reduced, when compared to a control group, which does not exist, or compared to the flu vaccine over the years, show a danger level adequate to shut the sucker down. A lot of wild claims about the vaxx long term effects have been made. Can they be substantiated with what we really know? NO!

            What a debacle. We have 40% of the population hoping that other 60% dies in the next 3 years to assuage their egos.

            Only in America, a symptom of the down slide controlling this country.

            Reviews of the “vaccines”, of course, have been bought and paid for, but even were that process legit, it would take a few years to even approach a chance of having valid control trials done on the death jabs. Needless to say, there’s no intention of doing that anyway.

    Australia is going full Fascist …but resistance is growing
    The Australian government been leading the pack on Covid-based tyranny from the beginning, but are they pushing their citizens to breaking point?

    “Covid19 has been used as an excuse to increase government control of pretty much everything, pretty much everywhere.

    It is, without question, the greatest campaign to seize power, and greatest assault on personal freedom, of my lifetime. With countries seemingly in a contest to outdo each other’s clampdowns, lockdowns, quarantines and surveillance programs.

    From the beginning of the “pandemic” three countries, in particular, have set the pace on this – Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Since last spring these three have been one-upping each other in a race to the fascist finish line. And right now, Australia is putting a sprint in to pull away from the pack.

    Cities are going into full lockdown for just one positive test. Some Australian cities and states aren’t just under total lockdowns, but also ever-extending curfews. The details of which read like a dystopian novel.

    People are not permitted to leave the state, let alone the country. They’re not even permitted more than 5km (~3 miles) from their home. They’re not allowed out at all after 9pm or before 5am. Masks are mandatory everywhere for everyone. Outdoors and in. No religious services. No weddings. Shoot stray dogs, just in case.

    Police barge into “unapproved” shops and fine business owners, or go house-to-house making sure no one has gone out. People who test positive are taken from homes for “indefinite stays” at “quarantine hotels”.

    They are herding thousands upon thousands of children in stadiums, without their parents, to perform (allegedly) voluntary mass vaccinations, despite the possible dangers. The army has been deployed to check papers and vaccine status at road checkpoints.

    The homes of those “self-isolating” are having government notices nailed to the doors. “Unauthorised protests” are banned, and if organize one you get 8 months in prison.

    The unvaccinated are told they mustn’t leave their homes.

    And the nation’s billionaire-owned propaganda channels pump out this hysterical fear-mongering.

    Increasingly their rules and limitations are becoming not just tyrannical but literally insane. It seems, just about every day, one or another Australian politician or health “expert” is on the news saying something crazy.

    Don’t take your masks off to drink. Don’t be friendly. Don’t watch the sunset. Tape your balcony shut. Don’t go out to shop, and don’t order online either.

    This is Australia’s “New Normal. This is just it, now. They’ve said they’re not going back. Even if they have “zero cases”, and over 80% are fully “vaccinated”, you’ll “still have to respect some rules regarding masking, social distancing”

        Demos show the rest of the world what is going on, that there is dissent.

        I think that is important in itself.

        I know I am heartened to see demos in Aus and am a bit worried that nothing like that is occurring in the USA (AFAIK).

        Headline at NYT:

        MANDATES ON WAY
        AS PFIZER VACCINE
        GETS FULL U.S. NOD
        F.D.A. Approval Paves Way for Colleges,
        Hospitals and Corporations to Act

        WASHINGTON — The Food
        and Drug Administration on Mon-
        day granted full approval to
        Pfizer-BioNTech’s coronavirus
        vaccine for people 16 and older, a
        decision that is likely to set off a
        cascade of vaccine requirements
        by hospitals, colleges and univer-
        sities, corporations and other or-
        ganizations.
        Within hours, the Pentagon,
        CVS, the State University of New
        York system and the New York
        City school system, among others,
        announced that they would en-
        force mandates they had pre-
        pared but made contingent on the
        F.D.A.’s action. . . .”

        Any thinking person knows this is a figleaf, a pro forma ruling to allow organizaitons to “legally” act to coerce jabs.

          They’re necessary but not sufficient. The Government is no longer legitimate. Once the demonstrations are crushed, it will be time for the next stage.

          The question is whether the Weimar American Boomers, Xers, and Millennials will have the stomach for it.

      • MaryQueen August 24, 2021 at 3:04 pm #

        No, demonstrations alone won’t cut it. But it is a necessary part of fighting back.

        Resistance to the jab and masking and lawsuits are more effective.

        But it’s all needed.

        So it’s illegal to sneeze now? What if you have allergies?

      • O.G. Hawkins August 24, 2021 at 5:13 pm #

        Tucker was talking about a guy caught on camera sneezing in a elevator without a mask (by himself). There’s a national manhunt underway trying to find him.

        That reminds me of Woody Allen’s brilliant Sleeper. They wake him up from a cyrogenic nap, he sneezes, the Dr & nurse go, “What was that?!” and immediately put him back to sleep.

    • cowbell81 August 24, 2021 at 12:56 pm #

      Wow, Australia is simply living in a real dystopian nightmare. If I lived there I would get the hell out ASAP. There is no way government should be ruling with such an iron handed fist.

      Kudos to the guy in the elevator for going out and taking care of his business. The fact that he is described as “the worst of the worst” is simply hilarious. I could think of a million different things that someone could do worse than that.

      This entire article is a wake up call to Americans. We need to stand ready and be on guard to ensure that nothing close to this happens here in our country!

      • Yohannon August 24, 2021 at 1:00 pm #

        Australia has always had a strong egalitarian streak, probably because of its slave past. “Tall poppies get their heads knocked off”. Thus it was child’s play for the Elite to weaponize this attitude, turning rights into “arrogance and selfishness”.

      • MaryQueen August 24, 2021 at 3:07 pm #

        It is already happening here.

        They just approved the vaccine. Well, the press and Jo Jo Magoo said it was, but the FDA’s own literature doesn’t seem to say that at all.

        And they are creating vaxpasses and trying to pass legislation disallowing the unjabbed from participating in society.

        This was all foreseen months ago by many of us who post here. But of course we were (and are) still called “tinfoil hatters” and “nutfudge conspiracy theorists”. But it’s all happening, just as we said it would.

    • Amman August 24, 2021 at 4:11 pm #

    CIA Director Billy Burns has a secret meeting with the Taliban Boss Abdul Ghani Baradar. If it was a secret why does everybody know about it? How fucking stupid are we?. In his memoir, “The Back Channel,” Billy Burns describes the secret bilateral talks he led with Iran during the Obama administration . Another secret that is common knowledge. I believe those were the meetings where we sent the Iranians a C-17 loaded with pallets of US greenbacks to the tune of $150 Billion. How much do ya figure Billy and the Boss agreed on in this deal? 100,000 Taliban warriors x $1,000,000.00 each is only 100 Billion. We are getting off cheap this time.

      ” Results: After controlling for individual- and regional-level covariates, regional measures of racism and police brutality rate, and baseline BMI in 2014 aggregated on MMSA level, Black people had a higher BMI and prevalence of obesity in areas that showed higher negative stances on BLM. Stances against BLM were positively associated with implicit racism against Black people and can be an acute race-related stressor associated with negative downstream health outcomes.

      Conclusion: Negative societal sentiments around race-related issues may be detrimental to the health outcomes of minority populations.

And when the bubble juice is gone new bubble juice has to be willed (spoken?) into existence. But if one is in the bubble then they are in big trouble when it pops presumably.

    In for a penny, in for a pound! The vaccines (so called) do little or nothing (nuthin’ good at least) but you have to keep taking them. A new one for each variant just to keep your hijacked immune system on par with those who never took any.

    After you’ve been on opium or heroin, you don’t get high any more unless you up the dosage, but you still have to take it at the old dosage to avoid getting sick.

    You may not have a real immune system anymore. As Horseface Arden says, You best stay in your bubble. For how long? Forever! And that Forever will get shorter and shorter as the spikes do their work.

    Noncompliance works. Simple refusal to do what you’re told, en masse, cannot be beaten.

    As was chanted in the Australian protest video:

  101. Q. Shtik August 24, 2021 at 1:26 pm #

    Continued from post dated 8/23/21 @ 8:37 pm:

    Let us now return in my history to roughly 3rd grade. The so-called “English” subject matter began to add elements to its range such as punctuation (commas, quotation marks, colons, hyphens, apostrophes, periods and all the rest) and grammar (eek! grammar). This complicated matters immensely. It took me awhile to remember that the word grammar does not end with the letters er. As I have stated frequently on this blog, I do not “know” English grammar except as I hear it in my mind’s ear. For example, I know that “He ate a orange” is incorrect and should be “an orange.” I can’t explain why this is so but I can give you a rule to apply to know when a or an is appropriate.

    I don’t know any actual living grammar experts. If I did I would have them on “speed dial.” I do know some dead ones via their writings and reputations. Two favorites are William Safire and David Foster Wallace. I also learned a few things from a little book titled The Elements of Style by Strunk and White especially concerning the case for brevity which I am violating with this very document.

    Students like myself used to stress out about pulling low grades in “English” because they could not grasp the complexity of the terms of grammar. I defy anyone here to explain what the “pluperfect subjunctive” is without Googling the hilariously arcane definition.

    Most of the errors in comments on this CFN blog result from people not knowing the difference (or, more likely, not giving a shit about the difference) between a handful of words like:
    then/than
    they’re/there/their
    we’re/were/where/wear
    loose/lose
    affect/effect
    could’ve/could of
    you’re/your
    to/too/two
    Perform a Google search of ‘homophones, homographs and homonyms’ for more info.

    Further on in my education, early high school I believe, we had a teacher who claimed he was clairvoyant, that he could see the future. He said those of us who didn’t grasp grammar, who couldn’t spell “cat,” who didn’t automatically store away common phrases in their memories, should stop stressing out over it because technology would bring us new and powerful methods of electronic communication that would correct most of our errors for us. New hi-tech forums would result in millions of pages of words being written every second across the globe and everyone would be so busy reading and writing that no one would have the time to give two shits about what was grammatically correct. The acts of proofreading and editing would be virtually abandoned. Errors not automatically corrected would remain uncorrected and their perpetrators would feel no sense of guilt, shame or stupidity. If confronted about errors by a grammar “Nazi” like me they would declare all their errors were mere “typos.” Nobody was stupid, they just made a fucking “typo.” There was also the handy excuse for error that “language evolves.”

    The only exception to this wonderful new world of uncorrected error was the “doctoral dissertation.” Ivy League schools like Harvard and Princeton would still demand immaculate English grammar in these great displays of brilliance. A document with the navigation plan that would return a spaceship and its crew from Mars to Earth was permitted to contain errors but not a doctoral dissertation on the sex life of a Tsetse fly. (I exaggerate only slightly.) Somehow the entire world unconsciously and simultaneously came to an unwritten agreement that there was one type of writing, one type of document that was sacrosanct: it was the doctoral dissertation. Even the readers of resumes from hopeful job applicants would no longer care about spelling and grammar as an indicator of smarts because they themselves didn’t know right from wrong or, if they did, had long since become accustomed to not editing their own writings. The once respected proofreaders at the world’s greatest newspapers would be “downsized” out of existence. Blog commenters in an act of self-abnegation would denigrate their own writings as “ONLY a fucking blog comment for Christ sake…it’s not like it’s a doctoral dissertation.” The accuracy of written communication was not deemed worthy of wasting time on and besides “they know what I meant anyway.” I once corrected something my daughter wrote and she angrily blurted out “Daaad… nobodygivesashit!!” and I replied, “precisely.”

      Can you imagine what the Constitution or Declaration of Independence would look like today if it was drafted by some know-nothing 20-somethings?

      Since you mentioned it above, what is the rule to apply to know when use of “a” or “an” is appropriate? I always like grammar rules.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder August 25, 2021 at 8:32 am #

        Whether the word following it begins with a vowel, essentially.

        Exceptions are “y” (sometimes a vowel) and “h” (sometimes silent, therefore treated like a vowel in that instance).

        • Q. Shtik August 25, 2021 at 12:23 pm #

          Whether the word following it begins with a vowel, essentially. – Mango

          =========

          Not quite, Mango. How about the phrase ‘a one track mind’? The o is a vowel but ‘one’ does not begin with a vowel sound. It begins with a w sound.

          The important thing is whether the following word begins with a vowel sound. One might say “it is an honor” where honor begins with a vowel sound because the h is silent.

          Or, one might say “an unforgettable experience.” U is not a vowel but ‘unforgettable’ starts with a vowel sound.

          When I speak or write I don’t need to think about these rules. The proper word (a or an) just rolls off the tongue automatically.

          • cowbell81 August 25, 2021 at 12:35 pm #

            “U is not a vowel but ‘unforgettable’ starts with a vowel sound”

            Last time I checked U is a vowel though, so I was slightly confused on that one.

            So if I was to say “It is an historical event.” Is that correct because “historical” starts with a vowel sound?

        It is more than that.
        I dare say it is narcissism.

        Rarely adds anything germane to the point of discussion.

        Instead, adds personal blog entries about a, I suspect fictionalized, simpleton of a brother-in-law from Florida.
        Peter.
        He is obese, unable to drive, and plagued by various idiosyncrasies and hygiene deficiencies.

        Of course, even these musings are rare, and most of his contributions come in the form of orgasms of white-out ejaculate as he takes a poster over the knee, delivering a spanking worthy of a misspelt word or malapropism.

        Perhaps he’s an editor.

          ===========

          Hahaha, ^that’s^ a good line, Avatar

          But I’d like to address your other points. “Rarely adds anything germane to the point of discussion.” is to some degree true. I often don’t feel I have enough interest or knowledge in, say, Afghanistan or ‘the Vaxx’ to chime in with anything worthwhile. However, I am the number one expert on my own life and so feel very confident in telling folks my personal anecdotes. If readers can get a laugh occasionally or find wisdom or insight in something I’ve written that’s my reward.

          Concerning Peter:

          My entries are not fiction although I may employ hyperbole and artistic license in my descriptions. e.g. The other day I described Peter’s legs as looking like they had taken the full blast impact of a roadside bomb to his lower extremities. To me his legs look gruesome but when the doctor looked at his legs on Monday he said “I’ve seen worse.” God knows, I would hate to see worse.

          Peter used to be obese. Back in the day I’d bet he reached 300 lbs but when the doc weighed him on Monday he was at 204 and that was with clothes on.

          Peter is not from Florida. He lived all his life in NJ except for 2 years after he sold his house in Washington Township, NJ and moved to Florida with all the bullshit reasons people typically give when they leave the northland and head south.

          1. I hate the cold.
          2. I can’t stand being around all the libruls.
          3. Jersey taxes are unreal.

          Real reasons concern bill collectors. FL is a favored destination for ne’re-do-wells.

          The day after Thanksgiving, last year, Peter called Bo (his sister, my wife) and said the words I might have embossed on his tombstone: “I can no longer take care of myself.” Boy, was this ever an understatement!

          You say “unable to drive.” Well, yeah. In a pinch Peter could drive but you would not want to be his passenger… shit in pants… heart in mouth. We sold his car in FL for next to nothing.

          “and plagued by various idiosyncrasies and hygiene deficiencies.” Totally true… I could write a book.

          “even these musings are rare” Not true. The vast majority of my comment word count is personal memoir type stuff. Three years ago I published here a very long travel log about my 3000+ mile motorcycle trip up into Canada and over to Duluth, MN. My spelling corrections are usually short and sweet zingers.

            Otherwise, I doubt that I would have remembered them.

      Nice trip down memory lane there, Q. I picked up my good(?) English from a queer English teacher I had in 8th grade, Mr. White. A real ball buster. As luck would have it, I was a pretty decent trumpet player at the time, and the band director recommended me to him for a solo with his Church choir, which he directed. So I got to know him and then felt obligated to pay attention in his class accordingly. Got one of the few A’s the old boy (late 40’s or early 50’s, still lived at home with his mother) ever handed out, I’m sure.

      He also made a point of embarrassing anyone who couldn’t answer the questions from the book that we’d go around the room and have to recite. He’d haul your ass up to the blackboard and make you diagram a sentence and not let you off the hook until he’d sweated your ass to his satisfaction, which was HARD to come by. And since this was 8th grade in 1971 and I had a perpetual hard-on, what will all the short skirts and hot pants (remember those?) the little sluts were parading around in back then, I thought it prudent to minimize my trips to the blackboard.

      True stories both.

    Can one really drum as well at that age? Few singers can still really sing – even though the audience pretends not to notice or they really don’t, only hearing the concerts of their youth, the one actually going on merely a prop for their inner theatre.

    “You don’t vaccinate during a Pandemic.” –Yohannon

    Leading conservatives favor getting mRNA vaccination. President Trump, Sean Hannity, Steve Doocy, Ben Shapiro, Steve Scalise, Mitch McConnell, etc. are all pro-vaccination.

    Tucker Carlson will soon be vaccinated. The skeptical citizens of Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Wyoming, etc. are getting vaccinated at increasing rates… up 17% for first dose over last seven-day average.

    The number of vaccinated who are hospitalized are less than 5%, whereas the number of unvaccinated in 95%.

    Getting vaccinated during a pandemic makes sense if you want to avoid hospitals and death. Vaccine hold-outs are diminishing, but they are self-selecting so the problem will resolve itself.

I wear a helmet, and bought one of those yellow, reflective safety vests construction workers wear (give me a little more visibility, there’ve been some bad MC accidents around here lately) My wife looks at me, and sez, in Spanish “Who the hell are you, Special Ed?”

        I’m not the kind of biker who wears a leather vest with a rocker. Anyway, the thing quit in the middle of town, had to walk home and get my pickup, load it in — which was a struggle, had to rig up a winch — and drive it home, which is where I’m at now.

    Today’s FDA “approval” of Pfizer “vaccine” reminds me of a passage I just read in Joachim Fest’s “The Face of the Third Reich.” Hitler understood the importance of “legality.” That is why he was furious when a local SA type, Kurt Baer, started a little action, called the Palm Sunday” (1934) pogrom, in the small town of Gunzenhausen against a couple of long-resident Jewish families who ran a Gasthof. No laws had been passed sanctioning actions again Jews. Hitler and pals in Berlin were furious with the SA because of the “lawlessness” of the action in Gunzenhausen.

    In 1935 a law was passed (can’t recall name of it right now), a direct consequence of the Palm Sunday pogrom, that allowed Hitler and the
    Nazi leadership to accomplish “legally” the terrorizing of Jewish Germans.

    So Fest does not discuss the Palm Sunday Pogrom, but he makes this more general observation, which I think is relevant to teh FDA’s “Potemkin approval” today:

    “Of decisive importance in this struggle [for power] was Hitler’s realisation that force was not the way to capture the modern state apparatus, that power could be seized ***only on the basis of the Constitution itself***.

    “This certainly did not mean that he accepted the Constitution as a binding limitation on his future efforts; it meant that he resolved, and rigorously held to his decision throughout the rest of his struggle for power, regardless of dissensions within the party and revolts by the impatient, to ***steer toward illegality under the protection of legality***. . . .

    The contemporary catchphrase “Adolphe Legalite” revealed an instinct that this much-vaunted legality amounted to no more than a ‘moratorium on illegality,’ . . .”
    ++++++++++

    So, we are seeing rules being made to order to give cover to a grab to eliminate basic personal freedoms and empower so-called “private” but very large entities (universities, corporations, municipal depts of educaition, etc.) to act as proxies for the govt to enforce what the government can’t “legally” enforce directly.

    The FDA “approval” of “vaccines” that are not even vaccines is grossly cynical.
    A swipe of the pen does not stand in for missing trials and test processes.
    mRNA jabs are still untested gene treatments whose long-term effects are unknown. .
    Hitler would approve.

      I will write both of my congresscritters.

      If we don’t protest this now we have no excuses.

      I have just sent this letter to the local paper:

      To the Editor:

      Last week the following letter ran in the XXX:

      “Unvaccinated Should Not Call for Help”. . .

      “If you refuse to get vaccinated for whatever wrong reason, and get COVID, please do not call the hospital. . . .

      “Rather, call Lenny at Chapman Funeral Home, and make an appointment.”

      Wishing death on others, calling for denial of medical assistance, and making a public joke of death are in my opinion vulgar, hateful sentiments that disrespect all those actually suffering from covid-19—the vaccinated and unvaccinated.

      Re “for whatever wrong reason,” there are a number of reasons for not accepting synthetic mRNA inoculations, including medical, religious, and legal. They are not “wrong.”

      I have asked a few friends what they thought of this letter, and they were shocked. One friend, a health practitioner, exclaimed incredulously, “What? That was published in the XXX?”

      xxxxx
      [Town]

      +++++++
      The ed. refused my first letter in which I called the original letter “hate speech.” He pilpuled me on the definition of hate speech and said the guy’s letter was his opinion, so it couldn’t be hate speech.

      Me: Wha??? Isn’t all hate speech opinion?
      What else would it be?
      Objective truth?

        Now we can maybe throw out “Think globally,” but not “Act locally.”

        In my community people read the letters to the editor.

Of course, of yeah, we’ll still need to wear masks onsite and genuflect appropriately with all the appropriate trivial humiliations to this colossal scam too, but that just goes without saying. It’s coming for everyone folks! There will be no resistance allowed!

    I’ll give it until the end of the year before the first VaxxPorts are in place and the noose to lock everyone into this scheme begins to tighten in earnest. And then, almost certainly, the next REALLY deadly round will commence, when they release the key to unlock all the deadly shit we’ll have circulating within us thanks to the Vaxx and the REAL body counts start to amass.

        ‘Cause working for the clampdown
        They put up a poster saying we earn more than you
        When we’re working for the clampdown

        We will teach our twisted speech
        To the young believers
        We will train our blue-eyed men
        To be young believers

        The judge said five to ten but I say double that again
        I’m not working for the clampdown
        No man born with a living soul
        Can be working for the clampdown

        Kick over the wall ’cause government’s to fall
        How can you refuse it?
        Let fury have the hour, anger can be power
        Do you know that you can use it?

        The voices in your head are calling
        Stop wasting your time, there’s nothing coming
        Only a fool would think someone could save you

        The men at the factory are old and cunning
        You don’t owe nothing, so boy, get running
        It’s the best years of your life they want to steal

        But you grow up and you calm down
        And you’re working for the clampdown
        You start wearing the blue and brown
        And you’re working for the clampdown

        So you got someone to boss around
        It makes you feel big now
        You drift until you brutalize
        Doesn’t make you first kill now

        In these days of evil presidentes
        Working for the clampdown
        But lately one or two has fully paid their due
        For working for the clampdown

        Hah, get along, get along
        Working for the clampdown
        Hah, get along, get along
        Working for the clampdown

        Yeah, I’m working hard in Harrisburg
        Working hard in Petersburg
        Working for the clampdown
        Working for the clampdown
        Hah, get along, get along

        Begging to be melted down
        Get along, get along
        Work
        Work
        Work
        And I give away no secrets
        Work
        Work
        More work
        More work
        Work
        Work

        I am sure a lot of it is highly classified. When I was last there a decade ago I drove around town and everything was behind barbed wire fences.

        Wouldn’t be surprised if they have some secret alien evidence and research going on there in some deep, dark bunker.

        We are now the primary pit manufacturing center in the US. Remote location, poor state, total government capture. Supposedly they do a lot of research too, but none of it’s particularly cutting edge, at least that they will admit to (and quite frankly, I don’t want to know). Weapons drive the train up here; always have, always will. Everything else is an art project.

    The Right to Bodily Integrity: Nobody Wins and We All Lose in the COVID-19 Showdown”
    By John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead

    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/56731.htm

    It starts with this excerpt from something in the WaPo:

    ““We’ve reached the point where state actors can penetrate rectums and vaginas, where judges can order forced catheterizations, and where police and medical personnel can perform scans, enemas and colonoscopies without the suspect’s consent. And these procedures aren’t to nab kingpins or cartels, but people who at worst are hiding an amount of drugs that can fit into a body cavity. In most of these cases, they were suspected only of possession or ingestion. Many of them were innocent… But these tactics aren’t about getting drugs off the street… These tactics are instead about degrading and humiliating a class of people that politicians and law enforcement have deemed the enemy.”—Radley Balko, The Washington Post

      Beautiful, ain’t it? The government now decrees which drugs you must NEVER do as well the ones that you absolutely MUST do upon penalty of excommunication and likely death. Any questions? Don’t bother. You will be informed when they decide either way.

      You will own nothing, not even the meat sack in which you reside, and will like it.

      • Islander August 24, 2021 at 5:56 pm #

        The authors do kind of mix things up by using a quote that is about illegal drugs—because many people would think it is OK to violate bodily integrity to find illegal drugs.

        But at least someone stood up for bodily integrity in the WaPo.

        Balko seems to have a website:
        https://www.theagitator.com/

        Quite interesting, actually. Has worked for Cato and FoxNews.
        It would be realy nice to get someone like Balko writing about the covid crimes and human rights, not just “human” crimes.

      I’m trying to think how forced vaccinations will go down. The govt won’t just be able to show up at your house and force a shot on you. There will have to be a warrant issued by the court. And when they come, the shot givers will need to be backed up by state muscle, most likely the cops. Some people will resist. It could get ugly.

      Another tactic might be to announce all unvaxxed persons are required to meet in the town square at 0900, just bring a change of clothes and any cash and jewelry you might have. The Bolsheviks in 1933, and the Nazis in 1941, had some success with this system in Kiev, Ukraine. People, whether out of fear or a sense of obedience to state power, did indeed show up as ordered, by the tens of thousands. The outcome wasn’t good. My advice is don’t report to where they tell you to report, let them come to you.

      (Don’t listen to me, this might be the Sam Adams talking)

      Let your Mossberg be your constant companion, your best friend.

        It won’t be forced, it will be strong-armed. First employment, then shopping, then eventually the banks. They’re going all digital here in a few shakes once they crash the dollar (imminent), and then there will be no escape. VaxxPort will likely even be merged with your bank card under a new payments system. A complete digital ID system is what’s in the works, and its coming MUCH sooner than most of us feared. I’d give it no more than a year, since most everything to enact it is in place already. That’s why the Fed is printing like there’s no tomorrow, because they know that for the current currency, there isn’t one. James Corbett’s site The Corbett Report lays it all out pretty clearly. Guns and bullett’s ain’t gonna help anyone this time, that’s why they’ve never bothered with a gun grab. Don’t need to, although they might circle back for those later too once everything else is locked down.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        A copper mining company in Arizona was having labor disputes with the workers. The owners would bring in Anglos until labor unions would come in. Then they would fire all the Anglos and bring in Mexicans. They did not work as efficiently at Anglos so they would start hiring the Anglos again. Repeat, repeat.

        One time was exceptional though. The owners, during a labor Union aggravated Anglo time, took a train, loaded all the workers and their families up with promises of a better place, ran them up into central New Mexico and just dumped them off and left them.

    Hmmm. Do we really think that the words of Our Lord in the Gospels have EVER been as vivified and explicit as they are now? These words have a crystalline clarity never before known. So… pay attention.
    Matthew chapter 24:

    [9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall put you to death: and you shall be hated by all nations for My Name’s sake.
    Tunc tradent vos in tribulationem, et occident vos : et eritis odio omnibus gentibus propter nomen meum.

    [10] And then shall many be scandalized: and shall betray one another: and shall hate one another.
    Et tunc scandalizabuntur multi, et invicem tradent, et odio habebunt invicem.

    [11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many.
    Et multi pseudoprophetae surgent, et seducent multos.

    [12] And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold.
    Et quoniam abundavit iniquitas, refrigescet caritas multorum :

    [13] But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved.
    qui autem perseveraverit usque in finem, hic salvus erit.

    “It was when the second person with unusual clots came in that Phillip Nicolson knew something was wrong. Blood clots are uncommon in young people, and it’s even rarer to see a combination of blood clots and alarmingly low levels of platelets — cell fragments that help to form clots. “

    “ That week, Nicolson was among the first to witness what researchers now call vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), a life-threatening and mysterious condition that affects a very small number of people who have received the Oxford–AstraZeneca or Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID-19 vaccines. It is now estimated that VITT occurred in about 1 in 50,000 people aged under 50 who received the Oxford–AstraZeneca vaccine1. This and similar observations in other countries have led some officials to delay and then scale back the deployment of these vaccines

    The secret Nazis who rule America have triumphed again, upholding Drumph’s “wait in Mexico” policy. If they wait in Mexico, they will be robbed, raped, and killed, the Liberals shriek. That’s how bad Mexico and Mexicans are. That’s why we want them here. No! Mexico and Mexicans are great. It’s White people’s fault that they suck! Once they are here, the magic dirt will make them good – and they have their revenge against the Whites who corrupted them from afar when they were in Mexico.

    It’s more complex and convoluted than Gnostic Theology.

      From everything I have seen I like Larry Elder. I would prefer him as governor over the governor we have now for instance. And yes, because he is hated and despised by the Establishment he is condemned as a “White Supremacist”. A tacit admission that indeed whites and “whites” are of far better character than their POC and “allies”.

    Washington school is blasted for making student athletes wear ANKLE MONITORS so they can be alerted if another player tests positive for COVID
    Eatonville High School has received backlash after implementing a measure in which student athletes have to wear ‘ankle monitors’ tracing COVID-19 cases
    Parents in social media likened the device to the monitors used by offenders under house arrest. ‘Ankle monitors are for criminals not children,’ a mother said
    While both vaccinated and unvaccinated students and coacher are required to wear the monitor, only unvaccinated individuals are required to quarantine
    The school has refused they are using trackers on students and called the devices ‘proximity monitors’ instead.

    If you are in the military, you will be vaccinated. If your son or daughter is in the military, they will be vaccinated. The number of people being vaccinated is ramping up rapidly in August 2021.

    If you receive federal benefits like Medicare, VA, Medicaid, Veterans mental health, etc. you should be vaccinated. To get a Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC) you should be vaccinated.

    The number of non-vaccinated is shrinking day by day.

        718,000 civilian DoD personnel

        1.1 million serving in the National Guard and Reserve forces.

        Mike,
        That really is not fair. Both myself and boyfriend have resisted this. At some point we will have to in order to keep our jobs. I work for the federal government and he is a contractor. His compound has about 100 guys and 6 are unvaxxed.

        He got a form that he could choose an answer:
        1) Vaxxed
        2) Unvaxxed
        3) Decline to respond

        The FAQ’s stated that all exemptions, partially vaxxed and decline to respond, in addition to not completing the form will result in “more stringent” protocols. He got the form 10 days ago and it is due 31 August. HIs boss (who is a nice guy incidentally) has asked him 3X if he has completed the form. He is waiting until 31 August to do it. To lie on the form could result in termination.

        There is an intense amount of pressure here.

        I am guessing that they will offer “testing” options for the unvaxxed. My guess is that those will be eliminated in short order.

        Did you hear the airline (Delta?) that is charging employees $200 a month if they are unvaxxed?

        So. now, here come the penalties. We both need our jobs and are just a little too far away from retirement. So, what to do? We may have to take it.

        We just keep delaying as long as possible and hope the jig is up. There was a poster here who said it was like football in the 4th quarter. Extend as long as possible.

      More anecdotal propaganda. How does he even know if what he had was CV19? Because his doctor’s told him so? Or was it even that? Was it just pitched afterward because it made for a good story? WTF even knows?

      Went to the local walk in clinic yesterday against my better judgement to see if they could do anything about a rather severe sudden onset case of bilateral shoulder bursitis I picked up over the summer. I’d already researched it in detail online because I knew the young intern or PA I’d see (for the same price) would be clueless, which she mostly was. I made a point of asking about the number of Covid cases they’d seen, since surely what with the **DELTA VARIANT** [Dramatic music plays here] going around they must be simply overrun, but she said, “Oh no, we don’t see anyone with respiratory symptoms at all! We send them home and do a video conference instead [presumes a Smart Phone user]. We don’t want them here in the clinic.

      So in short, here I was in a “health care clinic,” that doesn’t see people who are actually sick, possibly with the **#1 THREAT TO PUBLIC HEALTH WORLDWIDE,** but only people who have routine complaints that they can easily sweep under the rug. She sent me to physical therapy (can’t get in until mid-Oct) and threw me a complimentary 14 day prescription of Celebrex for my troubles. Ka-ching, ka-ching! NEXT!!!

        Here I am. I agree with your last statement. The medical industry is out of control because it is the foremost of the corporate capitalism that is monopolizing the industry and creating the cost overruns we see in the hospitals.

        We have two choices to regulate the costs into control.

        Government. Inefficient and political.

        Insurance companies. Another corporate capitalistic boondoggle.

        The official GOP line is to let competitive pressure control the marketplace. Sounds great, but what competitive pressure? This is supreme corporate capitalism that Yohannon and history shows moves into fascism or communism.

        Also, the clinic I go to says the same thing, if you are feeling the effects, go away.

        That leaves the ER which cannot refuse you. That concentrates the crud inside tertiary care centers that are understaffed and more importantly, under facilitated with isolation capacity. So an airborne disease spills out into the corridors and spreads.

          After the exam, the last thing she said as she left the room was, “It’s funny, it presents as a bilateral rotator cuff injury, but you say you don’t recall injuring it.”

    Well, certain medications and vaccinations can trigger the immune system to destroy platelets as part of an overall autoimmune response. In the short term, this makes sense. Over a longer span of time however, persistent low platelet counts are generally associated with autoimmune diseases like lupus and RA. Any persistent low platelet counts after the jab would appear to signal that the jab itself (barring pre existing issues) has either weakened and/or potentially damaged the immune system. Or. Platelet counts have fallen dramatically because many platelets are used up in small blood clots that form throughout the body. This condition is called thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.

    You had better find a better combination to run this country if you want any respect at all. This executive team is the most purposely negligent administration ever, worse than Jimmy, worse than Buchanan who put us into the Civil War.

    Biden is doing nothing right, nothing. It is actually amazing. Every single issue is being pursued to do the most damage to the country.

    Health Care. No idea what to do.

    Economy. Inflation here we come, get ready the 70s are back.

    Foreign policy. It is gone, Biden has destroyed our trust from the world with his cowardice.

    The border. The worst, he took a system that was working and tore it apart. We are wide open to the global socialists to tear down the lower class of this country thanks to Biden’s open border. A question, why do this when you already have the ability to cheat yourself into the WH?

    Voting rights. Trying to get rid of many of the restrictions that stop corruption. Biden calling Georgia’s law Jim Crow shows his ignorance as it is more liberal than most.

    Infrastructure bill. The king of all pork projects. Trump wanted a trillion dollars for infrastructure. They just passed that effort. Now they want 2+ trillion more, not for streets, for Democratic pork.

    Biden’s approval rating just dropped to 41%. Well deserved! The Democrats are even coming out against him.

      Mikovits. 🙂 Good Morning! Yes, the punishing of the unvaxxed is necessary for the creation of the Great Reset system. The new system will not tolerate any form of non-conformity. They are planning a world that is more conformist and controlled than anything ever imagined in human history. Though as we have discussed they have been laying the foundations for this new system for a very long time. I fully believe that even modernity itself was part of the scheme. Otherwise, all of this would be impossible to implement. Destroy the modern world and then we may not have to worry about the Great Reset.

        Locksley Hall
        BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON
        Comrades, leave me here a little, while as yet ‘t is early morn:
        Leave me here, and when you want me, sound upon the bugle-horn.

        ‘T is the place, and all around it, as of old, the curlews call,
        Dreary gleams about the moorland flying over Locksley Hall;

        Locksley Hall, that in the distance overlooks the sandy tracts,
        And the hollow ocean-ridges roaring into cataracts.

        Many a night from yonder ivied casement, ere I went to rest,
        Did I look on great Orion sloping slowly to the West.

        Many a night I saw the Pleiads, rising thro’ the mellow shade,
        Glitter like a swarm of fire-flies tangled in a silver braid.

        Here about the beach I wander’d, nourishing a youth sublime
        With the fairy tales of science, and the long result of Time;

        When the centuries behind me like a fruitful land reposed;
        When I clung to all the present for the promise that it closed:

        When I dipt into the future far as human eye could see;
        Saw the Vision of the world and all the wonder that would be.—

        In the Spring a fuller crimson comes upon the robin’s breast;
        In the Spring the wanton lapwing gets himself another crest;

        In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish’d dove;
        In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.

        Then her cheek was pale and thinner than should be for one so young,
        And her eyes on all my motions with a mute observance hung.

        And I said, “My cousin Amy, speak, and speak the truth to me,
        Trust me, cousin, all the current of my being sets to thee.”

        On her pallid cheek and forehead came a colour and a light,
        As I have seen the rosy red flushing in the northern night.

        And she turn’d—her bosom shaken with a sudden storm of sighs—
        All the spirit deeply dawning in the dark of hazel eyes—

        Saying, “I have hid my feelings, fearing they should do me wrong”;
        Saying, “Dost thou love me, cousin?” weeping, “I have loved thee long.”

        Love took up the glass of Time, and turn’d it in his glowing hands;
        Every moment, lightly shaken, ran itself in golden sands.

        Love took up the harp of Life, and smote on all the chords with might;
        Smote the chord of Self, that, trembling, pass’d in music out of sight.

        Many a morning on the moorland did we hear the copses ring,
        And her whisper throng’d my pulses with the fulness of the Spring.

        Many an evening by the waters did we watch the stately ships,
        And our spirits rush’d together at the touching of the lips.

        O my cousin, shallow-hearted! O my Amy, mine no more!
        O the dreary, dreary moorland! O the barren, barren shore!

        Falser than all fancy fathoms, falser than all songs have sung,
        Puppet to a father’s threat, and servile to a shrewish tongue!

        Is it well to wish thee happy?—having known me—to decline
        On a range of lower feelings and a narrower heart than mine!

        Yet it shall be; thou shalt lower to his level day by day,
        What is fine within thee growing coarse to sympathize with clay.

        As the husband is, the wife is: thou art mated with a clown,
        And the grossness of his nature will have weight to drag thee down.

        He will hold thee, when his passion shall have spent its novel force,
        Something better than his dog, a little dearer than his horse.

        What is this? his eyes are heavy; think not they are glazed with wine.
        Go to him, it is thy duty, kiss him, take his hand in thine.

        It may be my lord is weary, that his brain is overwrought:
        Soothe him with thy finer fancies, touch him with thy lighter thought.

        He will answer to the purpose, easy things to understand—
        Better thou wert dead before me, tho’ I slew thee with my hand!

        Better thou and I were lying, hidden from the heart’s disgrace,
        Roll’d in one another’s arms, and silent in a last embrace.

        Cursed be the social wants that sin against the strength of youth!
        Cursed be the social lies that warp us from the living truth!

        Cursed be the sickly forms that err from honest Nature’s rule!
        Cursed be the gold that gilds the straiten’d forehead of the fool!

        Well—’t is well that I should bluster!—Hadst thou less unworthy proved—
        Would to God—for I had loved thee more than ever wife was loved.

        Am I mad, that I should cherish that which bears but bitter fruit?
        I will pluck it from my bosom, tho’ my heart be at the root.

        Never, tho’ my mortal summers to such length of years should come
        As the many-winter’d crow that leads the clanging rookery home.

        Where is comfort? in division of the records of the mind?
        Can I part her from herself, and love her, as I knew her, kind?

        I remember one that perish’d; sweetly did she speak and move;
        Such a one do I remember, whom to look at was to love.

        Can I think of her as dead, and love her for the love she bore?
        No—she never loved me truly; love is love for evermore.

        Comfort? comfort scorn’d of devils! this is truth the poet sings,
        That a sorrow’s crown of sorrow is remembering happier things.

        Drug thy memories, lest thou learn it, lest thy heart be put to proof,
        In the dead unhappy night, and when the rain is on the roof.

        Like a dog, he hunts in dreams, and thou art staring at the wall,
        Where the dying night-lamp flickers, and the shadows rise and fall.

        Then a hand shall pass before thee, pointing to his drunken sleep,
        To thy widow’d marriage-pillows, to the tears that thou wilt weep.

        Thou shalt hear the “Never, never,” whisper’d by the phantom years,
        And a song from out the distance in the ringing of thine ears;

        And an eye shall vex thee, looking ancient kindness on thy pain.
        Turn thee, turn thee on thy pillow; get thee to thy rest again.

        Nay, but Nature brings thee solace; for a tender voice will cry.
        ‘T is a purer life than thine, a lip to drain thy trouble dry.

        Baby lips will laugh me down; my latest rival brings thee rest.
        Baby fingers, waxen touches, press me from the mother’s breast.

        O, the child too clothes the father with a dearness not his due.
        Half is thine and half is his: it will be worthy of the two.

        O, I see thee old and formal, fitted to thy petty part,
        With a little hoard of maxims preaching down a daughter’s heart.

        “They were dangerous guides the feelings—she herself was not exempt—
        Truly, she herself had suffer’d”—Perish in thy self-contempt!

        Overlive it—lower yet—be happy! wherefore should I care?
        I myself must mix with action, lest I wither by despair.

        What is that which I should turn to, lighting upon days like these?
        Every door is barr’d with gold, and opens but to golden keys.

        Every gate is throng’d with suitors, all the markets overflow.
        I have but an angry fancy; what is that which I should do?

        I had been content to perish, falling on the foeman’s ground,
        When the ranks are roll’d in vapour, and the winds are laid with sound.

        But the jingling of the guinea helps the hurt that Honour feels,
        And the nations do but murmur, snarling at each other’s heels.

        Can I but relive in sadness? I will turn that earlier page.
        Hide me from my deep emotion, O thou wondrous Mother-Age!

        Make me feel the wild pulsation that I felt before the strife,
        When I heard my days before me, and the tumult of my life;

        Yearning for the large excitement that the coming years would yield,
        Eager-hearted as a boy when first he leaves his father’s field,

        And at night along the dusky highway near and nearer drawn,
        Sees in heaven the light of London flaring like a dreary dawn;

        And his spirit leaps within him to be gone before him then,
        Underneath the light he looks at, in among the throngs of men:

        Men, my brothers, men the workers, ever reaping something new:
        That which they have done but earnest of the things that they shall do:

        For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
        Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;

        Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
        Pilots of the purple twilight dropping down with costly bales;

        Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain’d a ghastly dew
        From the nations’ airy navies grappling in the central blue;

        Far along the world-wide whisper of the south-wind rushing warm,
        With the standards of the peoples plunging thro’ the thunder-storm;

        Till the war-drum throbb’d no longer, and the battle-flags were furl’d
        In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world.

        There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe,
        And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law.

        So I triumph’d ere my passion sweeping thro’ me left me dry,
        Left me with the palsied heart, and left me with the jaundiced eye;

        Eye, to which all order festers, all things here are out of joint:
        Science moves, but slowly, slowly, creeping on from point to point:

        Slowly comes a hungry people, as a lion, creeping nigher,
        Glares at one that nods and winks behind a slowly-dying fire.

        Yet I doubt not thro’ the ages one increasing purpose runs,
        And the thoughts of men are widen’d with the process of the suns.

        What is that to him that reaps not harvest of his youthful joys,
        Tho’ the deep heart of existence beat for ever like a boy’s?

        Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers, and I linger on the shore,
        And the individual withers, and the world is more and more.

        Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers, and he bears a laden breast,
        Full of sad experience, moving toward the stillness of his rest.

        Hark, my merry comrades call me, sounding on the bugle-horn,
        They to whom my foolish passion were a target for their scorn:

        Shall it not be scorn to me to harp on such a moulder’d string?
        I am shamed thro’ all my nature to have loved so slight a thing.

        Weakness to be wroth with weakness! woman’s pleasure, woman’s pain—
        Nature made them blinder motions bounded in a shallower brain:

        Woman is the lesser man, and all thy passions, match’d with mine,
        Are as moonlight unto sunlight, and as water unto wine—

        Here at least, where nature sickens, nothing. Ah, for some retreat
        Deep in yonder shining Orient, where my life began to beat;

        Where in wild Mahratta-battle fell my father evil-starr’d,—
        I was left a trampled orphan, and a selfish uncle’s ward.

        Or to burst all links of habit—there to wander far away,
        On from island unto island at the gateways of the day.

        Larger constellations burning, mellow moons and happy skies,
        Breadths of tropic shade and palms in cluster, knots of Paradise.

        Never comes the trader, never floats an European flag,
        Slides the bird o’er lustrous woodland, swings the trailer from the crag;

        Droops the heavy-blossom’d bower, hangs the heavy-fruited tree—
        Summer isles of Eden lying in dark-purple spheres of sea.

        There methinks would be enjoyment more than in this march of mind,
        In the steamship, in the railway, in the thoughts that shake mankind.

        There the passions cramp’d no longer shall have scope and breathing space;
        I will take some savage woman, she shall rear my dusky race.

        Iron-jointed, supple-sinew’d, they shall dive, and they shall run,
        Catch the wild goat by the hair, and hurl their lances in the sun;

        Whistle back the parrot’s call, and leap the rainbows of the brooks,
        Not with blinded eyesight poring over miserable books—

        Fool, again the dream, the fancy! but I know my words are wild,
        But I count the gray barbarian lower than the Christian child.

        I, to herd with narrow foreheads, vacant of our glorious gains,
        Like a beast with lower pleasures, like a beast with lower pains!

        Mated with a squalid savage—what to me were sun or clime?
        I the heir of all the ages, in the foremost files of time—

        I that rather held it better men should perish one by one,
        Than that earth should stand at gaze like Joshua’s moon in Ajalon!

        Not in vain the distance beacons. Forward, forward let us range,
        Let the great world spin for ever down the ringing grooves of change.

        Thro’ the shadow of the globe we sweep into the younger day;
        Better fifty years of Europe than a cycle of Cathay.

        Mother-Age (for mine I knew not) help me as when life begun:
        Rift the hills, and roll the waters, flash the lightnings, weigh the Sun.

        O, I see the crescent promise of my spirit hath not set.
        Ancient founts of inspiration well thro’ all my fancy yet.

        Howsoever these things be, a long farewell to Locksley Hall!
        Now for me the woods may wither, now for me the roof-tree fall.

        Comes a vapour from the margin, blackening over heath and holt,
        Cramming all the blast before it, in its breast a thunderbolt.

        Let it fall on Locksley Hall, with rain or hail, or fire or snow;
        For the mighty wind arises, roaring seaward, and I go.

        Yoho: Cecil Rhodes (after whom Rhodesia was named) carried this poem around with him in his pocket. He dreamed of a Global White Anglo-Saxon Civilization and created an institution to move towards that Vision – which he thought was the same as Tennyson’s vision in the poem. But all that rises tends to converge. And his efforts were subsumed by Globalism in general, and the White Anglo part was quietly jettisoned.

          Yo Ho!

          Umm… Cecil Rhodes, who might well be considered the founder of modern globalism, might not be the best way to illustrate your point here, Big Boy.

          I think you’re idealism’s spoiled in the summer heat here, once again. Modern refrigeration’s a good thing, or at the very least a cool root cellar.

          • Yohannon August 25, 2021 at 11:29 pm #

            That’s what I just said. His Vision was corrupted by others. But I admit that it may have been a flawed or impossible vision if it mean endless war.

        • Islander August 25, 2021 at 11:17 pm #

          Cecil Rhodes is your hero?

          You need a new hero.

          Rhodes was one of a group that engineered WW1 (see Hidden History).

          Terrible man.

          • Yohannon August 25, 2021 at 11:30 pm #

            You may be right. I’m simply stating that his Vision is different than that of Globalists now. What’s the name of this book?

        • SoftStarLight August 26, 2021 at 3:06 am #

          It’s a very enthralling and beautiful poem with lots of layers. Even seems to be a dedication to our seafaring past in many ways. Very interesting and new for me so thank you for sharing! And it looks like Rhodesia eventually became Zimbabwe? I have heard that some Zimbabweans? celebrate when White farmers return to their lands. Perhaps some preferred Rhodesia to Zimbabwe after all?

          • Yohannon August 26, 2021 at 12:46 pm #

            Yes, the land is apparently very fertile, but it’s dry and takes a lot of irrigation to make it work. High tech farming beyond most of the Blacks who took over the land. Rhodesia was the bread basket of Africa. Zimbabwe is a complete disaster that needs to beg food from the West.

            Some of the Blacks want Whites back. I think that’s a foolish move on their part if they do though. Other Blacks will just become enraged all over again and start killing them again.

    Still a lot of denial, negotiation and anger; and this is a leading intellectual site. That should inform anyone about regular people completely trapped in the paradigm.

    To repeat: thinkers are reflecting the effects of their own youthful brainwashing ie ‘murical is the home of the brave, ad nauseum. It’s why Jim and others keep holding out hope that there will be a counter reaction.

    But the entire thesis fails if one honestly considers that maybe, just maybe their fellow citizens have always been exactly what we see on display today. That in fact they have no agency, but have always been manipulated and coerced to serve a larger agenda.

    That would explain why it was so easy to whip up public support for WW2, but then turn around and betray the very people who saved the elites skin. Talk about useful idiots.

    From this pov, it’s trivial to see why the ptb thought -knew – they could get away with their scheme. And so they are, and so they will.

    Vax pass, digital tracking, social controls via rewards and punishments, all coming. In terms of die off, they could use a trigger switch, but the social manipulation is so much cleaner.

    That is, if simply convince the youth it’s selfish and unconscionable to engage in love and family. You know, for the planet and sake of the common good.

    If the reader here can accept this reality and likely outcomes, then perhaps we can elevate the discourse. It really is boring reading mundane cynical replies that fail to address the big picture.

    To wit, we’re only here because of some massive reserves discovered not even 120 years ago. It’s why basra (aka BP) was the first major offensive by GB in 1914 against the turks. And why Japan attacked Singapore (aka Shell) on Dec 7 1941 (forget pearl).

    The globe needs to get back a sustainable pop level. It can be done through logical, rational controls, or it can follow all life form traditions and erupt into a fight for survival. Only this time with nukes.

    I only real wish would be to find others who actually “get it”. Jim used to focus on this topic and drew audiences that understood.

    Why he’s gone off on some weird poly tangent is somewhat dismaying, since it just plays dumb show to yet another mob.

    • cowbell81 August 25, 2021 at 12:05 pm #

      No doubt, we need to get society to break down into smaller more manageable parts. I was taught at an early age that I need to look out for and think for myself, because nobody else is going to do that for me, and nobody else is going to care about me more than me. Call it selfish, call it sell centered, call it whatever you want but it really all just comes down to self preservation and wanting the best for myself.

      If I can then set myself up in a good situation and take good care of myself, then once I have that accomplished I can look to taking better care of my family, local community, relationships, etc.

      People need to wake up, think for themselves, and stop listening to all of the empty suits on TV. Social media needs to come down and be disbanded and the 24 hour news cycle definitely needs to be dismantled.

      • mitchellc August 25, 2021 at 1:09 pm #

        Exactly, but my main point is to act in the manner of fleeing nazi officers to S America. They knew the jig was up, and didn’t waste time attempting to help anyone else.

        Those that donned women’s clothing survived the titanic, regardless of later public approbrium. You’ve got to see what’s coming and get ready to act in your own self interest.

        A decade ago, Jim, myself and many others toyed with the idea of self sufficiency. Try to find some of Jim’s stories about acquiring his property, the difficulties encountered and eventual abandonment. We all found out the hard way, most likely to the great amusement of actual, commercial farmers.

        There is no way out. Jim started with warnings, then evolved into possible solutions. These were wrong, simply because people don’t willingly give up what they are accustomed to, and definitely not in a peaceful, collective group hug.

        It’s at this point I think Jim turned his sights back to his original poly media career. But why? To gin up low brow readership? Have you read many of the comments? It’s like fox News or other alt right idiocy.

        Why don’t we observe the pageant that is unfolding before us in plain sight? This is an incredible turning point in human history, a transition back to a feudal society.

        Those that remember the one off bounty will soon be dead, and with them memories of freedom and choice.

        The youth are the target for future control. Understand what’s happening and the economic distortions, and profit accordingly.

        Financial security is your only true escape path. Not just to skip out of western nations (or control zones like certain regions of the USA) but to also be able to pay for protection, engender local goodwill and afford non public healthcare.

      MitchellC, in your view, would a “culling of the herd” by elites (great reset operations) necessarily be a bad thing? I mean, it would benefit everyone who was left.

      I’m not sure I agree with your bit about “personal financial security” being a way out for individuals going forward. Financial securiry based on what? I’m more keen on choice of particularly forgiving local environments primed for more social cohesion and resource self-sufficiency.

    Here’s the thing: She was a nurse, probably around people with the “disease” all the time. Had she gotten the “vaccine” it could have been just as bad: seizure, heart attack, dead baby, etc. It basically comes down to a coin flip at that point.

    Also, don’t give birth to infants in a dirty cesspool hospital of COVID germs. More women should be doing home births and staying as far away from the medical “profession” as possible.

    Why hasn’t anyone been able to answer me this:

    If covid19 exists, and it’s been in the global community for 2 years, that must mean almost everyone has been exposed.

    So why were antibody tests not done before vaccines? Why aren’t people tested to see if they already have natural immunity before taking the poison jab?

    Why was this never even a consideration? I know the test for antibodies exists, because my friend who says she had Covid19 took it, per her daughter, who is a doctor.

      I know that here in Germany the antigen test is being blocked by authorities, much as treatments such as HCQ and Ivermectin were.

      I suspect the story is the same nearly everywhere.

      The PCR test is the keystone in this fraud.

      • MaryQueen August 25, 2021 at 6:48 pm #

        Well apparently an antibodies test is not a PCR test. I believe they take a blood sample. That’s why my friend told me. And then I looked it up and yes, it’s a different procedure.

        And even The Science liars admit that natural immunity is best.

        So, why aren’t they offering antibody tests?

        I think it’s apparent why not.

    • Epicur August 25, 2021 at 8:39 pm #

      Early on in the epidemic there were a few papers published. One showed between 40 and 81% of people had some immunity/resistance to the virus (probably from exposure to corona virus common colds). There were a few others by mathematicians (Karl Friston, notably, who is one of the smartest people on the planet) who said the epidemic progress showed that a lot of people were resistant (it started peaking before vaccines were common enough to have caused it to roll over).

      It bothers me that this sort of data/opinion has been quashed.

      I’d sure like to have my antibodies checked. I also wish they would publish information about the genetic mutations that make one susceptible to cytokine storms, but its all about the vaccines.

    “This is an incredible turning point in human history, a transition back to a feudal society.” –mitchellc

    History is a string of “incredible turning points” (insert Ecclesiastes reference here)… There is no going back, mitchellc.

    For years Mr. Kunstler has been saying Japan will “transition back” and will be the first to go medieval. Not happening.

    Fact is Japan’s economy is rock solid. It is based on Japan’s manufacturing sector, one of the world’s strongest, with nearly all indicators pointing to stronger growth ahead.

    Year after year we are told by CFN that Japan is returning “to a feudal society” … but it is obviously not true.

    So many commenters on CFN are so easily manipulated because they don’t trust most information sources. Without knowing a variety of sources an informed critical response is not possible. That goes for all subjects not just the future medieval Japan. LOL.

        “Doesn’t really explain why so much US manufacturing and good paying jobs have went down the flusher though, nor why our elections are so screwed up though, now does it?” –cowbell81

        Your premise is flawed. We just had a safe and secure election. No violence. Nobody died, because elections are administered by state and local officials who implement numerous safeguards: robust chain-of-custody procedures, auditable logging requirements, and canvass processes. Election officials use these security measures to check that votes are accurately accounted for during processing and counting. Trump lost. Biden won. You don’t have to watch CNN to know Biden is President, not Trump.

        Under President Biden there is an expansion in manufacturing. Seventeen out of 18 manufacturing industries reported growth in July 2021, including machinery as well as computer and electronic products.

        • cowbell81 August 25, 2021 at 2:40 pm #

          What are they counting as “manufacturing” these days? Bags of pork rinds and waffle fries?

          I call total BS on your claim that manufacturing, traditional good old fashioned manufacturing, expanded under Biden’s watch. Yeah, I’m sure they love all the extra regulatory hurdles and stringent environmental regulations.

          Federal stimulus handouts to certain cozy manufacturing company CEOs do not count as an expansion in manufacturing.

          • bigbill August 25, 2021 at 2:54 pm #

            The wage statistics I have are from 2018. Manufacturing jobs are not minimum wage jobs. There were an average of 12.8 million manufacturing employees in the United States in 2019, with an average annual compensation of $87,185.18 in 2018.

            I’m sure things have gotten even better in 2021. When CEOs were complaining about not being able to find workers, Biden simply said: “Pay them more.” Correct, Joe.

      And Japan’s another US vassal that’s extremely overpopulated and living on a small island chain in the Pacific. They’ll be an excellent candidate for first feudal just as soon as all that manufacturing has no place to go, never mind the means to ship it out or the raw materials in, the first place. I’d say the jury’s still out on that prediction. The century’s still relatively young, but the collapse is quite obviously picking up speed. All with a little help from the usual suspects, of course.

      • cowbell81 August 25, 2021 at 2:31 pm #

        Exactly, Japan is toast. They are nothing more than an aging population on a small chain of islands with very minimal natural resources. I would not be surprised if China at some point in the semi-near future (say next 100-200 years) decides to invade and take over Japan. Taiwan would certainly be the first stepping stone, then the Philippines, then most of Africa, etc.

          A lot less than that, I suspect. When the US falls, all the old rules will no longer apply. Although, I’m not sure Japan will be of all that much use to them, other than as a vacation spot or another territory to settle. Past animosities aside, those two cultures certainly have a lot more in common than the US and Japan ever did.

    In the good news department, Chicago PD believes to have finally apprehended the hammer attacker. Curtis Tyler has been charged, and it looks like he will bond out later today. Another article described his as wearing a doo-rag but this has been suspiciously omitted from this article.

    So don’t worry, they will have to catch him again. Probably won’t even put an ankle monitor on him, since they only do that out West to student athletes to notify them of possible Covid exposure.

    In another story on this I saw a sentence that mentioned some protesters in Chicago rallying against government stating that they should be protected from such crime, not being policed for masks. No further focus seems to have been given to that line of logic.

    I am refusing to attend a friend’s wedding reception in Chicag-land later this September due to the fact that there is no guarantee that I will not be forced to wear a mask. Count me out please.

    Regarding Afghanistan, could there be a more obvious glaring warning light?

    Consider its strategic importance and why we occupied that central territory in the first place.

    To get bin laden and further the WoT? Ouch, my sides. Try straddling two of the three most important oil fields on the planet: Persia and iraq.

    Our exit means AF no longer holds critical strategic value. Hmm, what does that mean if the region is no longer #1 on our security list?

    Get it? The decline is coming faster than many predicted. Oh, there are tons of graphs projecting rapid drop offs, but what if even our worst expectations are being surpassed?

    That would help explain a lot of things, especially the balls to the wall headlong rush to get personal bio ID controls in place.

    2 Things Mainstream Media Didn’t Tell You About FDA’s Approval of Pfizer Vaccine

    Buried in the fine print of Monday’s approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of the Pfizer Comirnaty COVID vaccine are two critical facts that affect whether the vaccine can be mandated, and whether Pfizer can be held liable for injuries.

    “Monday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a biologics license application for the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine.

    The press reported that vaccine mandates are now legal for military, healthcare workers, college students and employees in many industries. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has now required the vaccine for all teachers and school staff. The Pentagon is proceeding with its mandate for all military service members.

    But there are several bizarre aspects to the FDA approval that will prove confusing to those not familiar with the pervasiveness of the FDA’s regulatory capture, or the depths of the agency’s cynicism.

    First, the FDA acknowledges that while Pfizer has “insufficient stocks” of the newly licensed Comirnaty vaccine available, there is “a significant amount” of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine — produced under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) — still available for use.

    The FDA decrees that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine under the EUA should remain unlicensed but can be used “interchangeably” (page 2, footnote 8) with the newly licensed Comirnaty product.

    There is a huge real-world difference between products approved under EUA compared with those the FDA has fully licensed.

    EUA products are experimental under U.S. law. Both the Nuremberg Code and federal regulations provide that no one can force a human being to participate in this experiment. Under 21 U.S. Code Sec.360bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III), “authorization for medical products for use in emergencies,” it is unlawful to deny someone a job or an education because they refuse to be an experimental subject. Instead, potential recipients have an absolute right to refuse EUA vaccines.

    U.S. laws, however, permit employers and schools to require students and workers to take licensed vaccines.

    EUA-approved COVID vaccines have an extraordinary liability shield under the 2005 Public Readiness and Preparedness Act. Vaccine manufacturers, distributors, providers and government planners are immune from liability. The only way an injured party can sue is if he or she can prove willful misconduct, and if the U.S. government has also brought an enforcement action against the party for willful misconduct. No such lawsuit has ever succeeded.

    The government has created an extremely stingy compensation program, the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program, to redress injuries from all EUA products. The program’s parsimonious administrators have compensated under 4% of petitioners to date — and not a single COVID vaccine injury — despite the fact that physicians, families and injured vaccine recipients have reported more than 600,000 COVID vaccine injuries.

    At least for the moment, the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine has no liability shield. Vials of the branded product, which say “Comirnaty” on the label, are subject to the same product liability laws as other U.S. products.

    When the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices places a vaccine on the mandatory schedule, a childhood vaccine benefits from a generous retinue of liability protections.

    But licensed adult vaccines, including the new Comirnaty, do not enjoy any liability shield. Just as with Ford’s exploding Pinto, or Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup, people injured by the Comirnaty vaccine could potentially sue for damages.

    And because adults injured by the vaccine will be able to show that the manufacturer knew of the problems with the product, jury awards could be astronomical.

    Pfizer is therefore unlikely to allow any American to take a Comirnaty vaccine until it can somehow arrange immunity for this product.

    Given this background, the FDA’s acknowledgement in its approval letter that there are insufficient stocks of the licensed Comirnaty, but an abundant supply of the EUA Pfizer BioNTech jab, exposes the “approval” as a cynical scheme to encourage businesses and schools to impose illegal jab mandates.

    The FDA’s clear motivation is to enable Pfizer to quickly unload inventories of a vaccine that science and the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System have exposed as unreasonably dangerous, and that the Delta variant has rendered obsolete.

    Americans, told that the Pfizer COVID vaccine is now licensed, will understandably assume COVID vaccine mandates are lawful. But only EUA-authorized vaccines, for which no one has any real liability, will be available during the next few weeks when many school mandate deadlines occur.

    The FDA appears to be purposefully tricking American citizens into giving up their right to refuse an experimental product.”

    With respect to culling, perhaps it could start here with the elimation of pathetically naive comments along the lines of: my family cut me off, if everyone has been infected, why not tests, etc

    New flash: no one (should) give an F about your personal story or musings about logic, the rule of law, due process, right to privacy, etc

    Consider the very day Constantinople fell. The day before,Christianity was the legal basis, and the Muslim outlaws were outside the gates. The next day they were the legal govt, and the former xian leaders were hunted enemies of the state.

    It’s just that simple. So complaining, appealing or arguing are sure signs of the dunce. Even worse, they take up valuable space, interrupt threads, and lessen the likelihood that other smarty pants might contribute something interesting.

    Can we please focus on what is actually happening right now without interjections of personal preferences or desires? Maybe we share ideas about not just surviving, but maybe even thriving in the coming matrix. (Remember clavells king rat?)

    In that vein, yes the key to (financial) security is local community. In the extreme, something like an American taliban with tight knit clan groups.

      Mitchell, I misjudged you when I read your first posts here, perhaps superficially. You’re cold and deep, like a Patagonian lake. Some of what you write demands to be read more than once.

      I, for one, am paying attention. Your definition of financial security, for example: “In that vein, yes the key to (financial) security is local community. In the extreme, something like an American taliban with tight knit clan groups.”

      Mary, please be patient. Yes, it’s K’s blog. We suffer a few fools here, I’m sure I’m one too on bad days, so why not give posters with some meat to their argument present their case?

      I think Mitchell is cutting right to the chase, skipping all the build up, the stages of grief or whatever, to put us right at the logical conclusion of the current chain of events.

      Sense of urgency. On good days I have it, work harder, think harder, skip meals. Then a lull into complacency, the shelves are not bare yet, drink another beer, chill. This guy is a wake up call, like Owl in a way. We need more of these.

    MASS PSYCHOSES INFECT THE ANTI VAX HIVE

    Addled axons. Delusional dendrites. Noxious neurons. Stymied synapses.

    You may already be ill and not even know it, and you probably are. I don’t mean ill from the virus, but rather from an infection of the psyche, from some form of psychic epidemic.

    While Jim’s essays are well written and grounded in reality for the most part, they are not necessarily the most sanguine and can instill a certain amount of worry and even fear. I have noticed that some here seem to be growing more and more forlorn and more cynical as time passes.

    There are things called psychogenic triggers, and some of the most powerful are negative emotions like fear, constant suspicion, anger, and anxiety. These can cause a person to seek relief from these emotions by escaping into a world of delusion.

    A good example is the anti vax hive. Many in this largely paranoid group see an outrageous plot to kill huge numbers of humans, or they see a pernicious big pharma with pecuniary interests only. The result of endless suspicion, fear, and vax anxiety can be delusion and psychosis, along with aggressive behavior towards the vaccinated.

    Adding to this are the complications of well founded anxieties about governmental mandates on the virus and the growth of a more totalitarian society, with people understandably wanting to affirm their individuality and their right to refuse vaccination. On the political front, the Democrats have certainly shown totalitarian trends, and this can further enhance the fear/anxiety factor. That being said, it certainly doesn’t mean that they’re out to ‘get’ us, using control by covid.

    It is never mentioned by the covid quacks or the vaccine vexed, or the jab jerks, that good people may just want to finally put an end to this marlinspike misery through rules and regulations, without any ulterior motives. They see no good here, it is all a plot against them to make them obedient slaves and compliant cattle. They always mention those who died from the vaccine, never citing the hundreds of thousands who have been saved by it. Their psychosis prevails.

    The vaccinated have not been afflicted with these psychoses. They followed the path of a reasonable assessment of risk and reward by analyzing the information available concerning this unpredictable virus, and then made their decision noetically. But the anti-vaxers cannot accept this because it doesn’t fit with their illusion of rebelling against victimhood, of being brave, brawling buccaneers who are the bastions of insight into the plots against them and, of course, us.

    The anti-vaxers, consumed with an often unreasonable fear and suspicion regarding the ‘vaccine’, direct their anxieties towards the vaccinated, claiming that they were fools duped by a totalitarian system trying to control their lives. In a state of confusion, psychotic ‘insight’ takes hold and unreality rules, allowing the unvaxed person to escape from or find meaning in their negative emotions by portraying the vaccinated as menticidal, delusional herd animals when exactly the opposite is true.

    Anti vax defiance serves to conceal their delusion and to give the impression that they are the brave individuals who can see reality clearly, while their actual view of it in the mirrors of the mind is a paranoid and perhaps even psychotic one. Fortunately, most are in the early to later prodromal stages of psychosis and are not yet acutely afflicted.

    Many are unaware of their deteriorating mental condition, so I’m hoping that these words will inspire some thought and introspection. The dreary drumbeat of dire negativity can lead to ‘menticide’, the killing of the mind. Some minds here are already half dead and appear to be at least partially psychotic, although to the casual observer they appear normal, even intelligent.

    Vaxers were sensibly concerned about the virus, not afraid of it. The anti-vaxers are the ones afraid, scared to death that they might be harmed by the vax even though the chance of that happening is extremely small, psychotically scared that some evil power is trying to destroy them. More and more anti vaxers are dying, but the paranoid and fearful are undaunted, continuing to believe themselves to be something they are absolutely not–braver and smarter than the vaxers.

    Psychosis can be as near as your next thought or your last. Be more positive and less suspicious. Ease up on the psychogenic triggers. Watch out for the psychotic jive in the hive. While people can be devious and have hidden agendas, many are not and don’t. As the saying goes, accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. Open up your chakras. Stop dwelling in the dreary dark of dismal illusions. Get out under starry skies and think about the wonders of the universe. The panoramic pool of mathematics, music, art, and poetry should help to penetrate and purge your psychotic perceptions. Dive in.

    Disclaimer # 1: The above is in no way meant to imply that our esteemed and gracious host is anything near being psychotic.

    Disclaimer # 2: It should be obvious that the above does not include the fair minded anti vaxers who believe that the vaxers choice is as valid as theirs.

      Lumping all anti-(covid)-vaxxers together here for this “psychosis” analysis is silly. Sure there’s extremism and exaggeration within those opposed to covid policies. But

      The primary overarching issues are 1) medical standards, and transparency and accuracy of medical data… 2) personal freedoms of choice regarding life, health and body… 3) policy corruption by profit-interests

      You ignore or downplay these foolishly I think here TS… maybe even “psychotically”?

      What an excellent post! This style and technique is exactly what I was referring to in an effort to elevate the level of play.

      It really bears rereading and careful analysis. How many recognize many of the key trigger points as described by goebbles favorite author?

      ***

      The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. …

      We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. …

      In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.

            You support the Vietnam War now? And no, I wouldn’t say that to most, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true. Try to get these things straight. The Founders told us not to do adventures like Vietnam. Did we learn anything? No, thus Afghanistan. From Black slavery? No, thus open borders for Hispanics.

            Oh please.

            Of course that war was a travesty, and entirely unnecessary.

            I was reacting to him calling them “suckers”. They were friggin’ drafted. Maybe some believed in “the cause”, but from most firsthand accounts I’ve heard, few had any interest in participating let alone understood why the government thought it worthy to go there in the first place.

            The reason his comment was particularly disgusting to me was because he didn’t refer to the 2.7M American soldiers that went to Vietnam as “suckers”, he specially only referred to the 55,000 that died – as “suckers”.

            Conclusion: that is a horrible thing to say.

          OG, that’s the problem when you bring down a supreme, unknowable Being to our plane of existence, our worldview, our morals or prejudices. It is utmost arrogance to think that we can begin to understand God’s motives, as explained to us by a forgotten caste of Hebrew priests and scribes.

          If you are reckless enough to posit a question that has “God” and “dick” in it, mixing two categories of thought that should not be mixed, the answers you get may upset you. Because yes, “dick” is our territory, our creation. You bring down God by even asking the question. And once He’s down, he’s fair game.

          There’s spiritual intuitions and insights, there’s faith of course, and I respect it. But to think that God, all serene, all knowing, acts in wrath to confirm our dislike of certain sexual practices is hubris, akin to believing He talks to you to tell you what brand of cereal to pick. God may speak, but not in the way you or I understand “speech”.

          Soldiers with “God is with us” engraved on their belt buckles shooting innocent people in the back of the head; “In God we trust” as we napalmed Vietnam, etc. Those are examples of the mass delusion of believing God talks to us about our petty affairs, our likes and dislikes. He doesn’t. Or She. Even He or She are not categories that we can apply to It.

          The fact that you can make the Bible say anything – and the exact opposite, is, to me, proof that its message cannot be taken seriously. Maybe God isn’t anything, a dick or a stern disciplinarian, a caring mommy concerned with our affairs or a deranged asshole bent on raining fire on us for not putting our willies in the holes He approves of. He isn’t any of this. He just is.

            You bring down God by even asking the question. And once He’s down, he’s fair game.

          Sun Tzu would point out that knowing one’s inherent flaws would be of value, whether or not said flaws are currently manifesting.

          People are amazing. And people suck. All at the same time. It doesn’t make one ignorant or weak or self-defeating to recognize that.

          In the case of covid, all we have through the media is a surreal Disney film representation of what is going on, so you must admit that none of us really know what is rthe truth…all we have is life experience prior to the current madness to use as a barometer when it comes to reality.

      tucson, please give it a rest. I’d never attack your choice of what to do. No need to tell me to purge my psychotic perceptions. Upthread you were mocking all of us who stated, quite simply, that we prefer to die rather than give up our freedom. You called us keyboard warriors. But you misunderstand. It’s the hive mind. It’s the buzz of the swarm of bees that perceive an attempt to attack them, destroy them.

      You should try beekeeping. Bee colonies are an amazing work of Nature. Did you know that when one bee stings you, a pheromone is released that tells the whole swarm to attack? Yet bees are the most pacific, most industrious and docile creatures. If we shed layers of consciousness, we get to that place. Many posters here, perhaps through the trauma of a tightening vise that closes this exit, and that, and that, if we don’t comply with Big Brother the Destroyer, are reverting to a hive mind. Maybe you don’t understand because you’re not a honeybee, a sweet Italian. You’re an africanized, or a hornet. Fine, but don’t pretend to understand the hive mind of the colony.

    Your legal or existential choice is just as valid.

    Your choice was absurd from the point of view of wisdom or its lower octave, commonsense. And in this realm, absurd means invalid.

    Do people have the right to make bad choices? Yes, but only up to a point. Then other forces (like Nature and her anodyne, death) or other people (dictators, parents, cops, men in white coats, invading aliens, etc) will step in to fill the vacuum of sanity.

    Night Owl,

    I just read this on a comment post at The Defender (Robert kennedy’s org)—is it true?

    “And, just recently, nearly 50% of the doctors in Germany who were administering the vaccines stopped doing so.”

    This thread is to a most interesting post regarding the FDA’s bait and switch with the two Pfizer vaccines, “Two Things the MSM Didn’t Tell You . . .’:

    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/mainstream-media-fda-approval-pfizer-vaccine/

    People on that thread are saying, Get out of the USA, come to Europe.

    But Europe is looking even crazier than here!
    How are things developing over there?

    I cannot express the depth of my rage at the FDA’s obvious cynicism.

    Paul Craig Roberts also has another screed against the FDA and the Covid Scam at the Unz Review.

    • Night Owl August 26, 2021 at 3:02 am #

      I dunno if it is 50%, but a large group has announced they will no longer participate. There are also smaller localized groups who simply say they are Impfskeptiker and have pledged to treat patients as normal, regardless of how much pressure this Neonazi government applies.

      Anger is a symptom of impotence, whereas ennui is an indication of bored indifference. If you’ve studied history, it’s trivial to recognize familiar patterns.

      Bernays (see quotes above) was in charge of US WW1 propaganda efforts. While he (re)enforced public sentiment, morgan, Bush and other bankers made $ billions.

      The same exact dynamic is in play today. If you’re offended by the truth, if stating common anti-war charges are beyond the pale, then you’re most likely a pathetic loser.

      We know what’s happening, we know why it’s happening. It’s up to you to make what you will with the truth.

      Crying, complaining, personalizing – these are all hallmarks of puny insignificance.

        I think you’re over-rationalizing to ease the cognitive dissonance, there, MC. Understandable, sure, but inneffective and ultimately self-destructive IMO. Getting angry, within reason, and expressing it appropriately is a natural mode of human coping and expression. Blood pressure will take care of itself. Burying your feelings will only make that worse as well. And it seems to me that we’ve got one helluva case of globalized puny insignificance going on here, regardless!

    https://scitechdaily.com/most-common-covid-masks-only-filter-about-10-of-exhaled-aerosol-droplets/

    John Az meets his Waterloo from this engineering study at Waterloo University. Ninety percent of the droplets get thru one way or another. N95 masks, properly fitted, seem to stop more than fifty percent. But then what happens? Do the droplets gradually soak thru, bearing their covid rider? Or does the droplet dry up, to be then sucked in by the hapless victim? Or blown out to strike down another?

    This study used a mannequin. Obviously to test the real efficiency of the N95, a living person would be needed for the breathing, heat, etc. To reiterate, the mesh of the N95 is very small, but the virus is smaller. Once the droplet goes, it can potentially get in.

    And then one would have to study the profoundly negative consequences of wearing an airtight N95 for seven or more hours every day. All to protect against a not very dangerous disease. This is the cost of living in a faggot society.

    • JohnAZ August 26, 2021 at 1:04 am #

      Another study which supports your position got released today.

      It said that the density of viral particles increases as droplets get smaller. The study says that airborne transmission is the biggest problem. My Waterloo, in your words, may be a moot point. I have read and observed studies that definitely show that more than half of droplets greater than 5 micrometers are filtered by one cloth mask. Speaking, singing and coughing. Only in expiration. Your comments about the effects of the mask itself are unstudied but probably detrimental esp. with the n95.

      There are not enough n95 for health care let alone the general public.

      The reason ICU and floor beds get to capacity is because there are not enough isolation rooms available. They cost a fortune. The former, my time, airborne beds were for TB and measles, usually one per floor. It does not take much to overload that capacity.

      You read about hall beds being used to care for Covid patients. If you read about airborne, you realize that these practices in the crappy ventilation systems that now exist create a breeding ground for Covid particles in the air. No wonder folks die in the hospital, they are breathing contaminated air over and over. Lesson one. If you get it, get oxygen support at home, if you need it. Stay away from the ER.

      Anyway, my position is that masks help a little at the big end. They should be worn only indoors when distancing is not possible. Masks outdoors are stupid. If uniform masking is not possible in close quarters, it is worthless. One Covid person in the closed environment makes the masks of everyone worthless.

      So why mask mandates you might ask? I have your answer. Because the medical PTB have no answers, no remedies to stem the tide. Even their one savior, vaccines are being broken through at a significant rate. Like the olden days before antibiotics, they have no clue what to do. How do you keep folks from panicking? Tell them masks will protect them.

      • JohnAZ August 26, 2021 at 1:07 am #

        Covid does not breed in the air, they need us for that. I mean than multiple Covid patients concentrate the virus in ambient air if HVAC and filtration are inadequate.

      • Pete August 26, 2021 at 9:53 am #

        Why is anyone panicking over getting sick with a virus that 99% percent of the people who get sick survive?

      • Islander August 26, 2021 at 10:03 am #

        “they have no clue what to do. ”

        But why?

        Can’t they read and watch what the rest of us read and watch concerning treatment?

        Ah, they are sanctioned, lose license, fired if they provide treatment.

        And they haven’t yet begun to wonder what that means. . . .

  167. JohnAZ August 26, 2021 at 1:12 am #

    One more.

    The only real “solution” to really stabilize a reduction in viral content is to have adequate ventilation and filtering of the air in any closed environment. If they want to have a infrastructure bill that means something, we ought to be investing money into getting rid of toxic bad buildings with good HVAC and sub micron filtering.

      John, that bill is about tearing down. Not building up. Or better. When will you learn. Or perhaps you were being sarcastic?

      • JohnAZ August 26, 2021 at 9:20 am #

        ???

        Huh?

        What I said was to get rid of the bad toxic buildings, which according to JHK there are lots of, by installing upgraded HVAC and filtration systems that will remove the biological and waste pollution.

        Not the buildings themselves.

        Infrastructure? Why not install CO2 scrubbers in the revised HVAC?

        Why not recover the AC condensate as fresh water?

        Have you ever been in a casino where the HVAC has been upgraded to remove cigarette smoke? That is a start. The issue is rapid turnaround of the air space with viral filtration.

        It can be done. Your sarcasm, as usual, is out of place.

        • SoftStarLight August 26, 2021 at 10:23 am #

          You didn’t get the point John. If you believe the criminals in government care about doing anything good for this country then you are either naive or perhaps you are not being completely honest with yourself and/or others. I don’t disagree with any of your suggestions. But if you think the infrastructure bill is even really about infrastructure at all then you have been propagandized or you are putting out propaganda. I prefer to think you are simply propagandized, being from a generation that still thinks government operates in the interests of the citizens it is supposed to serve.

          • JohnAZ August 26, 2021 at 11:47 am #

            You didn’t get my point from an earlier post. I agree with you. My complaint, especially after seeing the health care corporate reaction to isolation shortages, is that a big part of the seeming coverup with Covid is a PTB reluctance to creating a healthy environment.

            Think of Covid as a pollutant. It really is. We still have very little reaction from anyone to reduce the level of pollution in our buildings.

            Another hidden agenda in the press. Health care workers quitting with threats of being vaxxed.

            The vaxx is just the tip of the iceberg. Nurses and CNAs are being exposed to airborne contamination with no isolation protection. Hallway beds are used when things get crowded, the entire body of air becomes VERY contaminated.

            Look at what the requirements are for an airborne isolation room for TB.

            Negative pressure

            Double door entry

            Higher levels of air flow

            Viral size filtration

            Think now, with the hospital reports of Covid, every room should be outfitted thus. When pigs fly.

            No wonder all the workers need is a threat from above to tell them to FO.

          • SoftStarLight August 26, 2021 at 12:16 pm #

            Well yeah that is true. I think the mandatory vaxxes could have negative impacts on many other industries as well, but it is especially noteworthy that is impacting the healthcare industry. The one that is supposed to save us from covid. And why would so many be refusing the vaxx if it is perfectly safe and effective? Apparently many intelligent people are not buying it.

      • BackRowHeckler August 26, 2021 at 9:57 am #

    • tully August 26, 2021 at 6:38 am #

      This is where infrastructure money could be put to good use. While upgrading building’s insulation and HVAC systems, increase filtration and cleaning. Not only help remove infectious bugs, but smoke in areas most likely to experience wildfires in the future.

    • Yohannon August 26, 2021 at 12:36 pm #

      Actually, good AC or whatever makes for a pressurized environment and wearing a mask becomes bearable. Nothing is worse than having to wear one when the air is “close” and/or the temperature high.

      Of course the type used on that cruise ship (all?) or in some motels where the air is circulated from room to room is a disaster. You end up smelling other people’s rooms and of course covid or anything else could come right through.

      in the US:

      According to Johns Hopkins, there have been to date 38,223,029 confirmed cases of Covid.

      According to Johns Hopkins, there have been to date 632,272 deaths as a result of Covid.

      Simple math says 37,590,757 have caught and survived Covid.

      Lets’s wildly exaggerate and say 20% of those survivors suffer from “long Covid”.

      That leaves 30,072,605 people who somehow have survived the latter-day Black Plague.

      It would be interesting to read a constant media barrage of stories about those 30 odd million who are just fine but fear porn sells better.

  170. KappaJoe August 26, 2021 at 5:47 am #

    We’re talking in circles, co-mingling the fictitious with the real:

    1) The disease called “covid” doesn’t exist. The fraudulent framework for its detection is the PCR test which is fed some model for a theoretical virus called “covid”, and even at that, the PCR device is run to such extremes that all output is just noise well above the device’s commonly acceptable maximum cycling threshold.

    Further, no one can produce an actual, purified isolated sample of the “virus”. The vast majority of the people presenting at hospitals were aged flu patients with other health issues, i.e., they had, among other complications, weak immune systems.

    According to one of Reiner Feullmich’s recent interviewees, in order to compress the immediate death load in early 2020, hospital’s were allowed only a strict protocol to treat “covid”. This protocol banned useful, effective therapies including zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D, and hydrochloride, and instead were ordered to use a failed, non-approved, prescription drug no one had ever heard of called Remdesivir under emergency use authorization.

    According to FDA data, this drug had already failed well-prior to the appearance of “covid” because it damaged the kidneys among the test animals. Huge doses of this drug were administered to the target flu sufferers to induce a relatively quick, certain death attributable to “covid” by shutting down the sufferer’s kidneys, thereby filling the lungs and drowning the patient in their own fluids. The hospitals were paid $37,000 for each patient treated by this deadly protocol. Fuellmich projected many lawsuits involving malfeasance and medical malpractice.

    2) The so-called vaccine for the imaginary “covid” is all too real. It has murdered many tens of thousands of recipients worldwide outright, about half of which died within several days of injection. Many hundreds of thousands have been injured, just in the USA, and many of these are very serious, often unusual injuries that indicate a sharply curtailed lifespan.

    The actual numbers worldwide are unknown, as contracts between the pharmas and governments disallow formal reporting of death and disability for something like a decade. Bodies, testimonials, and obituaries are all we have to go by (VAERS is self-reported and thus is not official).

    We have no idea what is a actually in the shot, whether it is consistent from vial to vial, and whether everyone receives the standard deadly concoction, a milder load, or even placebo. Aside from the huge dosing of obligatory, perpetually self-replicating, mRNA spike protein, analyses to date indicate all sorts of toxic adjuvants, contaminants, and, apparently, graphene oxide, a known, highly toxic chemical.

    Those that consented to and received the standard deadly dose now have damaged immune systems, irreparably damaged cardiac function, irreparably damaged neural function, damaged vascular systems, plus all other organs, as the juice ends up in every organ in the body. It especially collects in the testicles and ovaries, largely ensuring that anyone dosed will be infertile, likely for life.

    As such, it would appear the entire “covid” fear and ignorance campaign was engineered to induce, at the very least, a kind of voluntary neutering. However, the long range goal, aside from the Remdesivir episode, may well be mass depopulation. Only the passage of time will prove this out or nor. But if death is in the offing for these, whole families, whole nations will be wiped out, and the justifiable rage the perpetrators receive will be astronomical.

    • Night Owl August 26, 2021 at 6:35 am #

      Several of us have covered this many times.

      Never isolated, PCR is spkied at 45 cycles to create false positives, and PCR can’t determine sickness. Even with that, miniscule deaths attributed to whatever “the virus” is (most likely rebranded flu).

      This is all an effort to bring about the digital passports, then digital IDs that connect everything you do on the SmartGrid. Centralized global government with a digital control grid that only allows buying and selling among the muppets who give up their freedoms.

    Interesting article finally some answers.

    Scientific American

    “ Unraveling the Mystery of Why Children are Better Protected from Covid Than Adults”

    By Lars Fischer

    Variations in interferon immunity control and the level of T cells in kids respiratory systems are key. Good explanations on some of the unknowns. The thymus is not mentioned, but it is the source of a lot of hyperactive immune responses in kids. The decline of interferon production with age and its genetic dependency is discussed. Interferon production seems to be the speedy response to invasion and its decline with age may explain the increased level of overreaction of the remaining parts of the immune system causing the body damage noted with Covid.

    Foe Maryqueen

    Could it be that some pollution particle, pollen, food contaminant, or some other antigen be causing the reaction we are calling Covid? Something like allergies or asthma? All we really know is that something is making the inflammation process flare up. Could it be something triggering a lupus type or RA type reaction that is systemic?

      JAZ, that is very much what I am trying to research now, or discussing with other curious people.

      Most of the so-called epidemics historically have involved massive environmental situations, including poisoning of some sort (usually from industrial waste). Now they spray the skies, the lawns, the crops, etc. And people get sick.

      Hello, Love Canal.

      Even polio may have been environmental, but to even broach the subject is verboten.

      Why are so-called ‘scientists’ so quick to deny our environment is poisoned, even in the face of overwhelming evidence?

      Anecdotally, moving to the Bay Area caused me to become asthmatic again as I hadn’t been since I was a teenager. So I had to move.

      I also wonder if anyone has done any studies to see how many people get RAD,COPD, lung cancer or asthma after the massive fire seasons?

        Also climate has a strong effect on people. Maybe you do better in dry climates like Southern California or Idaho. San Francisco is very damp. Berkeley or Oakland are very different even though just a few miles away. Mainland as opposed to peninsula.

      Also, another possibility is that they simply rebranded the regularly-occurring pneumonia from flu, etc. as Covid19.

      That is my theory.

      And there is no evidence to the contrary. In fact, the CDC have borne that out this past flu season (where flu disappeared and sort of merged with covid19).

      And if the death rate was higher in 2020 across the board, we need to take into consideration that suicides went way up, and that doctors were incentivized to kill people on ventilators, and that sick people were deliberately put into nursing homes to kill them.

      • JohnAZ August 26, 2021 at 10:36 am #

        The one thing I think the “experts” reacted to was the fact that this whatever it is attacks systematically instead of just the lungs or throat, windpipes and bronchi. It is interesting they have not been able to culture Covid19. It makes me wonder how many other antigens have never been proven.

        Read the article I noted above. There is a lot of good info in it explaining some of the weird aspects.

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder August 26, 2021 at 10:38 am #

      Could it be that some pollution particle, pollen, food contaminant, or some other antigen be causing the reaction we are calling Covid?

        “5G rollout? Transmitters on every other block in major cities started going online in 2019”.–Mango

        Very plausible. Anti-vaxx scientists have spoken about the magnetic overreactions of people after they receive the death-and-disability jab(s), which would play into the exponential magnetic and electrical increase in the air from 5G as contrasted with 4G. (Btw, how long before 6G is rolled out?)

        Along with the frenetic pace (media, edicts, emotional hysteria) of getting everyone vaxxed, the 5G rollout itself has been hasty and widespread. Tood bad it’s gotten even less scrutiny than the Covid blitzing.

    Mitch, I’ve read a few of your comments. You seem to be of the position that what is happening today is logical (run-away-population-control), necessary (too-many-mouths-to-feed), inevitable (too-big-to-fight) and likely to end badly for those who fight it.

    Do I have that right?

    ***

    Yes, with two reservations.

    1. Until recently, Jims entire body of work conformed with your list from a resource pov. Where we differ(ed) is he believes stupid incompetents are in charge.

    The disconnect I see with Jim’s thesis is now the idiots are somehow evil control freaks leveraging a minor disease outbreak to capture govt and industry.

    Why not link the two together to form a nice logical construct.

    2. You should.never fight – he who complains has already lost. Over 100 years ago, leading intellectuals were jailed during WW1 for making the same observations we are today.

    Marx identified the key class construct, but failed to recognize it manifests in any environment. Therefore, the wise choice is to see what is occurring, but play the odds in your favor for max self interest.

    • Disaffected August 26, 2021 at 10:42 am #

      I think I mostly agree with what you’re saying here, but I’m not quite sure where you’re going with it. Just trying to get a handle on it rationally and intellectually? That can be hazardous road to go down, if taken too far. And I think you can only play the odds so far. They’re stacked pretty steeply against us this time.

    My friend who works in the pharmaceutical industry just wrote to tell me that a woman she was close friends with back in her military days died 3 weeks after getting the first jab, from complications from it. She is feeling guilty because she thinks she could have talked her out of it. Said friend had apparently gotten the death jab because she ‘wanted her life back.’

    Not many people do it because they think it will improve their health or keep them from getting covid19 it appears. They are just caving because of the pressure and the torture.

    Welp. She didn’t get her life back. Instead, she lost it.

      It should be mandatory to have a power of attorney and a living will on file before taking the prick. And some sort of statement of duress as well, just for the record. Maybe someday something will come from that.

      • JohnAZ August 26, 2021 at 10:51 am #

        Do you know if any documentation was done on the original 40000 test folks? Do you know if any increase in deaths or effects has occurred in this group as their history is about eight months longer than the public.

        What? No data? Surprise!

        • O.G. Hawkins August 26, 2021 at 12:05 pm #

          Therefore we can’t know. Right, JAZ?

          The keepers of the data release it like they do the money they are getting for their “vaxxes.”

          It’s so weird. You’d think that they’d have data galore if …

      The flu vaccines still kill and maim folks every year. People still need to do the risk assessment with the flu vaccine. Guilliame Barre is actually on the consent form as a contraindication.

      The biggest problem right now is understanding why some people seriously react to the vaccine. Are these folks that would react the same way if they contracted Covid itself. As with everything, very little data to base judgements on. If these people could be screened out, the remaining herd immunity would protect them. Another question, a big one in my mind, why did the 40000 test group during the development human test breeze right through with minor adverse effects and no deaths. What happened? I still contend it is the variable of how the shot is administered.

      • Disaffected August 26, 2021 at 11:38 am #

        I’m definitely never taking a flu vaccine again. I always took those every few years, figuring that they were at least harmless, but now we know better.

      • MaryQueen August 26, 2021 at 12:20 pm #

        They hid the people that got adverse effects/didn’t report them, from what I read yesterday.

    • cowbell81 August 26, 2021 at 11:16 am #

      This is so sad. The fact that they are pushing these vaccines on us with the guise that “if 100% took them we would be back to normal” is totally ludicrous. There is no turning back at this point. You are either on the right side or the wrong side and only time will tell.

      There is no getting our old lives back at this point. I have been thinking about this a lot recently. Right up until January 2020 my life was still trucking along the normal course of things. After that, my life interests and activities have changed significantly. This really was not due to my personal internalized choice, but due to external pressures of government mandates, closures, and cancellations beyond my control.

      I am sure this is true for many readers here. We are still the same people deep down, similar life interests, etc. However, something has changed, a crimp made to the straight line of things that is setting us all down slightly different trajectories.

      • JohnAZ August 26, 2021 at 11:30 am #

        Good post.

        I do not think people realize that Covid, or whatever it is, is a game changer.

        In the US, freedom is a primary concern. Covid limits personal freedom.

        The Deep State loves it, people are getting used to limited freedom. Totalitarianism feels mor comfortable.

        Very little is understood by Joe Average about the mechanisms of Covid. With that, he is willing to give the thinking responsibility over to the experts in DC. Problem is, they have no more idea than Joe Average what is really going on.

        Life is changing, people have learned to stay home. They are comfortable staying away from the stresses of interaction.

    Just in case you do not check back at your post yesterday. CVS pharmacies in some states will do an antibody test ($38). I guess not all states allow pharmacists to do a finger stick.

    https://www.cvs.com/minuteclinic/services/covid-19-antibody-testing

    • JohnAZ August 26, 2021 at 11:16 am #

      If the data gathering had included antibody titer tests for at least a sample of the stocks, we would understand a lot more about the effects of the vaccine. Could it be that only a percentage of folks vaccinated actually get an immune response. I have told the blog before about my own personal history, I never converted to the Hep B shot after two tries. I was told at the time that ten percent of males do not covert.

      What do you think if ten percent of folks vaccinated never converted with Covid? Do you think that might just screw up all conclusions being drawn? Delta comes through and “re-infects” some of the vaxxed folks.

      What if the non-converters comprised thirty percent? Why bother?

      • O.G. Hawkins August 26, 2021 at 11:55 am #

        And, JAZ, why, on God’s Green Earth, if they are trying to save us from death with their “experimental” vaccines, would they not CLOSELY track, gather & analyze this data?

    Why didn’t BRH tell us about this? What else is he not telling us?

    Anglin randomly focuses on an attractive slender Asian woman, saying she should Americanize and get fat, or cover up and hide her body. Actually second generation Asians start to look more like us in terms of fat. Is it just their individual diet, or did their parent and grandparents eating differently help induce the change?

    Jung stood outside an American factory at a shift change and asked someone if there was a strong Indian genetic influx. The person said no, just Irish, German, etc. But they don’t look like Euopeans, Jung mused. Has the land itself changed them?

    742 UK deaths in the last six months due to Covid. That’s not many. They look to be tighter in their diagnosis than we are. Of these, 2/3 were vaxed. What percentage of the UK is vaxed? He doesn’t say, and that would make the data more meaningful. But similar data is coming out of Israel which is at 90%.

    How about vaccine deaths? Bet it’s way over 742.

    They’re much tighter about diagnosing Schizophrenia as well. I worked in mental health with Schizophrenics, supposedly. My take was that most of them were low fliers (low IQ and emotional problems related to that), who got into drugs, got in trouble, got sent to an institution and got institutionalized.

    • Yohannon August 26, 2021 at 2:14 pm #

      A closer look by Vox

      Vaccinated 5x More Likely to Die
      Hard evidence is coming in from the United Kingdom, and it conclusively establishes that the vaccines are NOT reducing the likelihood of a Covid-infected person dying.

      The UK government just reported the following data, tucked away in their report on variants of concern:

      Less than a third of delta variant deaths are in the unvaccinated.

      Let me say that another way – two-thirds of Delta deaths in the UK are in the jabbed.

      To be specific: From the 1st of February to the 2nd of August, the UK recorded 742 Delta deaths. Out of the 742 deaths, 402 were fully vaccinated. 79 had received one shot. Only 253 were unvaccinated.

      Look at the bottom line: 402 deaths out of 47,008 cases in vaccinated; 253 deaths out of 151,054 cases in unvaccinated. If you get covid having been vaccinated, according to this data, you are much more likely to die than if you were not vaccinated!

      Do the math. An unvaccinated individual in the UK who contracts COVID has a 1 in 597 chance of dying. A fully-vaccinated individual has a 1 in 117 chance of dying, which is 5.1 times greater.

      The vaccines are clearly not effective, as they actually increase one’s risk of dying of Covid. And that doesn’t even account for the mounting evidence of serious adverse effects.

      Yoho: So does this mean that fewer of the vaccinated get sick enough to seek treatment (47,008 vs 151,054) but if they do get sick, their chances are much worse?

      • messianicdruid August 26, 2021 at 2:29 pm #

        No, if they do get sick they can self treat with many successful protocols, and even then – it’s about as bad as a cold.

        I’m not sure as this is all in flux, but I did see an article that states that a study by Oxford University suggests that vaccinated healthcare workers are carrying massive covid viral loads that can clearly pose a danger to others. It would make sense that this would not be a good thing for the vaccinated themselves but it seems in this case the focus is their potential impact on others. I linked it below in case you might want to look at it when you have time.

    O god of earth and altar,
    Bow down and hear our cry,
    Our earthly rulers falter,
    Our people drift and die,
    The swords of scorn divide,
    Take not thy thunder from us,
    But take away our pride

    The body bags and little rags
    Of children torn in two
    And the jellied brains of those who remain
    To put the finger right on you
    As the mad men play on words
    And make us all dance to their song
    To the tune of starving millions
    To make a better kind of gun
    The killer’s breed or the demon’s seed
    The glamour, the fortune, the pain
    Go to war again, blood is freedom’s stain
    Don’t you pray for my soul anymore
    2 minutes to midnight
    The hands that threaten doom

    Its lonely in the field,
    That we send our fighters to wander,
    They leave with minds of steel,
    Its their training solution,
    We’ve programmed the way,
    It leads us to order,
    Theres no turning back,

    A surgical strike,
    We’ve taught them not to feel,
    Performance is their task,
    A surgical strike,
    Its time is arriving now for you, for us,

    The plan of the day,
    Will be swift as the lightening they harness,
    The atom display is not mindless illusion,
    At master control, assessment will not,
    Be by humans, theres no turning back…

    The pomposity, patronization, and plain cluelessness of this (below) would be funny if it weren’t so infuriating:

    “The Local asked the Hamburg Senate if there were exceptions for people who cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons.

    A spokesman told us that the small number of people who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons “are generally at high risk of infection and should avoid crowds”.

    Really? Is the “spokeman” an MD? WTF does he know about the medical conditions that justify an exemption? Zero.

    Ironically, however, he does seem to be implying that the hazards of the disease and the jabs are THE SAME!!

      Further to the above,
      It really seems like the best course of action is to come down with covid.

      That said, it is weird that they won’t accept proof of antibodies from more than 6 months. Even though docs are saying that protection via the natural immune system is lifelong. It feels as though the petty bureaucrats are really have a field day on this! Kind of like programmers who keep tweaking software because . . . well, that’s their jollies, it’s what they do.

      Frankly, this all still stinks. Something is screwy with, now, a “fourth wave” that is the unvaccinated. Proof?? Pretty soon it will be “unboostered.” Etc. Where does it end? I suppose the bottom line is that Germany’s Big Pharma like to make money as much as the USA’s . ..

      However, I am still surprised if Germans are not having unpleasant hauntings over this enforcement regime via “racial hygiene–whoops, I mean health passports.” .

      • JohnAZ August 26, 2021 at 3:55 pm #

        A card saying you are vaxxed does nothing. A card documenting you have antibodies and mem B cells says a lot. Again, we have 0% idea how many folks are really immunized for the Crud after being poked. Best guess, you have a unknown percentage of chance that you got any reaction. Next variant around, you get the crud because you think you are safe.

        What if – only 50% of folks getting stuck get immunity. I do not think the PTB want to explore that possibility.

        Another reason to promote the antibody test. Antibodies and B mems are seen and counted, no phony cases test.

        • KappaJoe August 26, 2021 at 4:52 pm #

          There are no acceptable antibody tests for “covid” because there are no antibodies to “covid”, per se. But there may be active corona antibodies to the flu or common cold if one has experienced that recently. They know this; that’s why they won’t let anyone off the hook just because they’ve had a cold.

          There are also going to be antibodies to the spike protein injection, providing one’s immune system hasn’t already been damaged to the extent that it is unable to produce useful antibodies (the body will, initially, do what it can to fight off the toxic brew, yielding the supposed “immune response” the injection was purported to produce).

        Indeed Mary.

        To my linked post above, I’ve heard more than one mother say, “what’s the big deal, it’s only a mask”. (Notice how they don’t say it’s “temporary” any more.)

        Aside from the health concerns re lack of sun and air, and trapped germs, babies and kids need constant recognition of facial expressions to orient themselves to human emotional cues and understanding.

        Of course, all this is to further divide not just parents from kids, teachers from parents, and kids from teachers, but, as here, kids from all other kids.

        They want us all isolated. Isolation begets depression and a sense of “learned helplessness”, a term accurately coined almost half a century ago for someone who gives up on life when resources are lacking.

        An adult can rebound and get out of it. A kid? We’re in uncharted territory here. Planned depopulation. If the jabs won’t make you infertile, then despair will make you uninterested in sex anyway.

            The occasional alliterative tag can be aesthetically appealing, depending on a host of poetic factors surrounding context, syntax, and tone, but the hammering, repetitive, unsubtle, predictable splooge of same-same is, first, irksome, and then hilarious.

        Just read through much of the Wiki entry on Queensland.

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

        Wow, it sure epitomizes every negative image you could dredge up of Australia, Australians, and the continent’s history. What a dreadful place.

        I mean, a camp is bad enough, but out in the hinterlands . . . no one can get there . . . Something ghastly about the idea of a putting a camp out there, kind of like in the vastnesses of Siberia. The vastnesses of the Australian Outback.

      Similar to something Hitler may have said in 1939:

      “This is a commitment to the German people and the mutterland. We want to keep you safe, and the best way to keep you safe is to build as quickly as possible containment camps for the unwanted and unneeded elements of society. I have listened to my fellow Germans and I know how much they support these regional containment camps. They want their country kept safe, that is what they are saying to me, and we will deliver it. This is a race, we are up against a highly illegitimate segment of the population that needs containment. We don’t know what’s next and need to get these facilities up and running.”

    Health Minister Yvette D’Ath also points to the ongoing need for quarantine measures even once vaccine targets have been reached, in line with the Doherty Institute’s findings that have formed the basis for discussions around the loosening of measures.

    “Their own report says we will need to keep some public health measures in place – test, trace, isolate and quarantine. So even with high vaccination rates, we must continue these public health measures, which means we will continue to need quarantine facilities and we will need to make sure they’re purpose built and they’re keeping our community safe.”

    Here’s an interesting (if biased) review of a book on the Last Days of The Donald.

    https://lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v43/n16/david-runciman/it-was-going-to-be-huge

    • gustafson.robert.22 August 26, 2021 at 5:51 pm #

      What did you find interesting? I couldn’t find anything.

    • Islander August 26, 2021 at 6:11 pm #

      I started to read it, and soon saw that the whole thing was designed as a takedown of any questions about the veracity of the vote.

      That is, all chalked up to the Donald’s derangement.

      IOW “innocent by association”: The fact that Donald thinks there might be fraud concerning the fast flipping after 10:30 p.m. in four swing states means that ipso facto there was no fraud. Donald thinking it proves it is not so. Get the logic?

      I stopped reading. I might try reading it again. I just get so tired of the slanted “analysis.”

      The LRB seems to be getting more and moire ‘in alignment” with the Deep State. Used to be that one could actually find some interesting and intelligent critical views of US politics and even Saint Obama in the LRB that one could not find in the USA.

      Same goes of course for Mearsheimer and Wear’s (sp??) long piece on the Israel Lobby, which could not be published in the USA but appeared in the LRB.

      But Trump sprung some kind of a gasket over there in London, and now they seem to be hewing pretty much to the Orange Man Bad line.

      • tucsonspur August 26, 2021 at 6:34 pm #

        This part is true:

        ‘Landslide is Wolff’s third book about the Trump White House and it reinforces and deepens the theme of the previous two. Neither Trump nor the people around him were part of a sinister plot to subvert and ultimately take over the democratic institutions of the United States. They didn’t possess even the minimum competence for that. Trump’s presidency was a kind of vacuum of seriousness: the relationship between means and ends was practically non-existent. If Trump had wanted Congress to do his bidding and reverse the result of the election it would have taken a monumental strong-arm operation of persuasion and coercion, the sort to make even Lyndon Johnson quail. Instead, he threw the case to people who didn’t even know the phone numbers of the people they needed to call.’

      • Soul Forensics August 26, 2021 at 6:52 pm #

        I don’t read the the LRB for political content, but I occasionally do for their literary reviews. On that front, every reviewer — and I mean every last one — is from a 10 mile radius in North London. The definition of insular. I don’t know if the political arm is similar, but, if so, it would align with the echo chamber effect as well.

        • Islander August 26, 2021 at 9:25 pm #

          I do love many of their articles on historical and art subjects… reviews of multiple books in same area, etc. Not all writers come form London. Some come from Ireland . . .

          They ran a very entertaining and revealing review of two new biographies of Philip Roth, one of which had feminists up in arms because it turned out the biographer had groped someone back in the mists of time.

          Actually, Roth had most feminists up in arms, but he sat down and wrote, godammit. What he felt like writing.

          • Soul Forensics August 26, 2021 at 9:43 pm #

            Roth got out of the novel biz at the right time, quite a few years before he died. Even considering his stature, there’s no way any publisher would have taken on (e.g.) Sabbath’s Theater if he had submitted it the past few years.

    • tucsonspur August 26, 2021 at 6:18 pm #

      Speedy,

      Covid is barely mentioned, but it was Trump’s handling of the virus that caused him to lose millions of votes.

      Good take on Giuliani:

      ‘What mattered was to keep up the pressure until the other side cracked. Challenge everything, dispute everything, inflate everything: that was the Trump way. All he needed were lawyers willing to do it with a straight face. Giuliani, often drunk, frequently flatulent, rarely coherent, was a long way from the steely district attorney and heroic post-9/11 mayor he had once been. Wolff calls him ‘a figure who seemed to have come loose in history – irrepressible, uncontrollable, reckless, runaway, daft’. But he possessed the two qualities that mattered to Trump. ‘He could be counted on to fight even when others wouldn’t. And, too, he would work for free.’

      The popular vote continues to elude Republicans, getting it only twice since 1988. Soon, the EC will be beyond their grasp. Democratic strategy is working, Repubs need a complete overhaul.

      • Islander August 26, 2021 at 7:04 pm #

        Repugs, three times since 1988.
        Dems only twice since 1988.

        R–Bush 1–1 term
        D–Clinton–two terms
        R–Bush 2–two terms (both wins questionable)
        D–Obama–two terms
        R–Trump–one term (jury [ha ha] still out on term 2)

        • tucsonspur August 26, 2021 at 7:30 pm #

          In 2000, Bush lost the popular vote by about 500,000, so I guess you could call that statistically close. EC was close, even with the Florida victory.

          2004, Bush won by 3 million popular.

          • tucsonspur August 26, 2021 at 7:43 pm #

            Dems won the popular 4 times, with Clinton and Obama.

            Not only that, over those 4 elections, Dems won the popular by about 28 million combined.

      ‘In February 2019 Byrd left his Glock 22 duty weapon in a bathroom in the Capitol Visitor Center complex after the House had adjourned for the night. It was later found “during a routine security sweep,” Capitol Police said at the time.

      Byrd at the time said that with his rank as a lieutenant and his role as commander of the House chambers section, he told his colleagues that he expected to “be treated differently” in terms of consequences. Byrd did remain on the job in the days after his weapon was discovered.’

        For 2 mornings in a row, Joe Scarborough and Mika Zbrienski have stressed to their MSNBC viewers that:

        1) Zero deaths have resulted from taking these vaccines and that
        2) The vaccines “are safer than Aspirin.”

        I shit you not. Total lies to hurt more people. They goof on their declared “stupidity” of Ivermectin calling it “a livestock de-wormer.”

        They have stopped acting like USA has a Free Press. The charade is over. They now are in Full Court Press to get as much of their toxic poison into as much of humanity as is possible.

        I predicted a calm summer. July & August have been ramp up.

        Things ought to get interesting
        Right about now

    “Inmates at a Washington state jail can stock up on free packs of ramen noodles if they get vaccinated against COVID-19.

    Earlier this month, the Benton County Jail in Kennewick announced it would give inmates 10 free packs of the popular commissary item as a vaccine incentive.”

    As the late Henry Miller said, in a different context:

    “How low we stoop to earn that crust of bread.”

      Miller’s quote is from a prose essay, though note that it’s in perfect iambic pentameter, and with nary an alliterative blemish!

    My wife gets more catalogs in the mail than God. The other day one of them was featuring T-shirts with humorous lettering across the front. She could hardly contain herself when she pointed out the perfect T-shirt for me. It said “I am silently correcting your grammar.”

      That T is you, Q! Perfect.

    That’s right Jim, the week of ‘Throwdowns and Showdowns’.

    A week of the American go down and blow down, of the low down American mow down.

    Time for the terrorist hoedown.

        Yes, yes, night gnat, I know. Every time you try to insult me, I pound you like I do the speed bag, yet you still come back for more. I could easily fire dozens of paralyzing poison darts back at you, but your masochism is simply too unhealthy, so I won’t. I’m not a sadist.

        I know this sounds cruel, but I will try not to fustigate you anymore in the future and give you more pleasure. Well, maybe if you’re getting desperate I’ll slap you around a bit. But that’s it.

      And what inquiring minds want to and must know is whether or not this just so happens to be due to systemic incompetence or something sinister, or perhaps a combination of the two. Honestly it appears to be an intentional dereliction calculated to maximize national humiliation and the strategic and financial empowerment of enemies. Collapse America and the Dollar and you have the Great Reset presto blammo. It’s just really kinda bizarre to give your enemy, that btw, supposedly digs crucifying and burning alive opponents, a comprehensive list of citizens and collaborators. It’s very strange that the “commander in chief” is cool with leaving citizens and soldiers behind enemy lines. It’s odd that billions of dollars worth of advanced weaponry has been left behind so the alleged enemy can walk right in and freely collect. It’s just a little curious that Biden wanted to send pallets of cash to the Taliban for nothing in return. I could go on but you get the point.

      It may just be that those really going down are all the sophisticated people who have done really well while everyone else has struggled to adapt to their new normal. They haven’t realized that yes, even slaves revolt. And It only takes a few to get that ball rolling. The ruling class has no clothes. And they are disgusting and reprehensible. We can no longer remain silently complicit in their war crimes and crimes against humanity. Events have allowed many more to see in a flash. This moment is very uncertain and dangerous and only the strongest of wills can stop the spiral. There isn’t any going back after something like this.

      And yes Tucker, conspiracies are real.

        Hey JAZ,

        SSL’s 1st paragraph above nicely answers the questions that you asked of me yesterday.

        This Afghan debacle is Just like “My butt’s been wiped!”

        They are goofin’ on ya, JAZ.

        They are rhe evil witch that you Really thought loved you while, actually, they were setting you up for the Big Fall the whole time. Since before you were born.

        Everything you thought you knew is Wrong.

        Ain’t it funny how you feel
        When you’re finding out it’s Real?

        – Neiler

    Wow! Afghan refugees are being dumped into small towns in northern and western Europe; in some places, Afghan refugees outnumber local citizens. “Its our humanitarian duty”- EU.

    Network news this morning: what a resolute, brave, determined leader Joe Biden is. That about sums up their Afghanistan coverage.

    Good One

    “You can’t know all the answers
    You can’t always be Right”
    22 years with fancy-pantsers
    And a month from being on that flight

    Afghanistan is a debacle
    At least that’s what we’re told
    The piling deaths? Pneumococcal
    The lies: Big & Bold

    JoJo Magoo
    Jen Psaki
    Harris too
    Pliable. Lackey.

    There is no turning back
    Billions jabbed
    Morality lack
    Backstabbed

    Black Hawk joyride
    “They’re laughing at us!”
    “Well … ya. You’re funny.”

  3. The elite’s hard time. – Dark Brightness - August 24, 2021

    […] Covid-19 is an expedient device for exercising the most severe control over the daily life of Americ…, and it is being used liberally once again in the “blue” cities to make ordinary business as difficult as possible even unto shut-down and ruin. FDA approval will further enable the mandatory “vaccination” of school-children, government workers, and corporate employees. About half the country still refuses to get jabbed. You are about to see them go hard-core when the FDA makes its move. The shadow cabal behind “Joe Biden” will, accordingly, destroy what is left of public education as millions of parents withdraw their kids from the system. You will then see the rapid assembly of home-schooling networks that aggregate informally into small private academies — and, of course, the biggest losers will be the minorities who lack the cultural mojo to home-school. Well done, “Joe Biden” and the FDA! While you’re at it, why not destroy Higher Ed, too? (That sound you’ll hear is plywood getting nailed up on the windows of countless insolvent small colleges.) … This week marks the beginning of the Deep State’s hard time. Its narratives are shredding. Its mind-control measures are slip-sliding away. Half the country has been onto their game for years, and the other half is about to feel their heads explode as a corrective reality elbows into the scene. That is, the real-and-only reality, not the one confabulated backstage for you by skulking quislings. See how you’ve been played? They have taken your country. Maybe you should start caring about that. […]
