What you’re actually seeing in the rhetorical hoo-ha over the January Sixth capitol riot is the main cattle-prod driving mob madness — fear of Covid-19 — losing its power to terrorize the public. The Party-of-Chaos put on a grand opera of lamentation Thursday to celebrate its unity in victim-hood — we wuz so traumatized by the riot! — but in the background, they can see their dearer dream of total vaccination — and total control of the population — fade in the winter mists.
This is the crisis of a managerial class that has lost its ability to manage anything, including all of us. Thus, the hysteria in the blue precincts of America, where they are concentrated. And, as I’ve averred before, the madness probably has its roots in the slow-motion train wreck of our techno-industrial economy. The managerial class can surely sense it and see it coming, but they don’t have a clue what to do about it. So, in desperate need of some signifying ritual, they’re left performing a grand-scale Chinese fire drill like drunken sophomores of yore — a flurry of pointless, attention-seeking activity.
You see, this total vaccination fantasy is meant to compensate for that inability to govern in a time of epic turbulence. It provides an illusion of control. But the obvious insanity of it stands out in the demonstrable facts that the vaccinations don’t work, and that they are racking up an impressive record of harming people. These two facts must be ignored by the vax-happy Blue Team, even as the immunizing and pretty harmless Omicron variant spreads speedily across the land conferring superior natural immunity on those who survive it — which is, functionally, everyone.
The virus looks like it’s on that ol’ exit ramp, but the disintegrating economy will still be with us, and no amount of political degeneracy disguised as virtue will stop it. We still have to manage our lives individually and collectively going through it. It’s going to be a tough slog. The federal government in its current iteration is looking like more of an impediment than a help to any of us. Its current hysterical flounderings send a clear message: You can’t depend on us to do anything right. Instead, select a favorable place to plant your flag, and figure out what you can do locally to rebuild some means of productive activity, fortify basic institutions of law, public safety, and money, and restore credible authority.
You will have to be nimble and resourceful. The Covid lockdowns of the past two years have destroyed many small businesses, but think of that as the tide going out before the blowback of a tsunami that will sweep away the large businesses next. The WalMarts, the automobile industry, the airlines, trucking, Amazon.com, major league sports, the fast-food empires, the oil industry, the mega-banks — all these systems have gone into speed-wobble and most of them will crash hard.
It’s an issue of scale. The broken giants will have to be replaced by lower-scaled systems for producing stuff, moving it, and selling it. That includes food, especially, by the way. How are you going to be part of that where you live? What role can you imagine yourself in? What are you good at? What do you dream of being good at? Can you assemble a social network for yourself? Do you have any ability to look after the public interest? Can you speak coherently? Do you mean what you say? Are you grounded morally in right-and-wrong? Can others depend on you to keep your word? These are the questions that will matter going forward, not whether you were vaccinated, or voted for Mr. Trump, or know the lyrics to God Bless America.
It looks like the disorders of economy and community are heading to center stage as the Covid-19 melodrama closes down. Since human nature is perverse, the current mass formation psychosis may transfer its energy onto new hobgoblins. But the mass of Americans — putting aside blue and red insignia for a moment — might simply be tired of lunacy. They may even begin to show some impatience with those who generate it, for instance the cable TV news channels. Some of the most practiced conveyors of lunacy are heading out the door in the months ahead. Joy Reid of MSNBC is reportedly on her way off-camera (not by choice), and a while back the redoubtably dishonest Rachel Maddow announced her exit for April of this year, probably in anticipation of all her beloved narratives falling apart.
Lunacy is exhausting. Soon enough, even the crazed governments of Euroland and Australia will suddenly drop their lockdowns and vaccination tyrannies as reality presses on the bubbles they occupy. In the face of the Omicron fade-out, they’ll turn 180-degrees and try to pretend that the episode of madness never happened. I doubt they will get away with it. Many politicians in these lands will be bum-rushed from office at the first opportunity.
Even our earnestly malicious Dr. Fauci is back-pedaling furiously, perhaps hearing the bloodhounds of justice yapping out in the gloaming. This week, he finally admitted that half the hospital cases of Covid were actually some other illnesses with the label “Covid” slapped on — in effect, to bribe corrupt hospital managers with big wads of federal subsidy money for using the killer drug remdesivir and intubating hapless Covid victims. Sounds like a racket, a little bit, but then the word racket defines the totality of Dr. Fauci’s career. The decisions he made about banning early treatment of Covid and suppressing information about cheap and effective drugs — in the service of preserving the emergency use authorization and the concomitant liability shield for his deadly “vaccines” — arguably led to the deaths of several hundred thousand people. If he doesn’t live to see prosecution, bear in mind that he had plenty of deputies and associates throughout the public health agencies carrying out that policy who deserve to spend some time in courtrooms.
Meanwhile, the prudent will save their energy to get through the rigors ahead and make plans for a changed economic landscape that will require all the classical virtues they can muster for creating a life worth living.

Good riddance to big box corporate America. They have been complicit in all of this nonsense. They deserve to fail.
Big box corporate America is fascism, just the way Mussolini described it. Antifa is the brownshirt brigade of corporate America, ironically.
To paraphrase Charleton Heston famous NRA convention speech, “They will have to pry my Amazon Prime account out of my cold, dead smart phone!!”

Holly,
Posting nude pics of your mother is not “completing work”
…Any nude pics of your dad?
Elysian,
I think those ARE pictures of her dad…
No, because in Fascism, the Government guides and controls (not owns) Industry, whereas in our system, the Corporations ultimately control the Government.
You almost got it right since the two spheres can’t be kept separate in the modern industrial state. You just got it reversed – which of course is getting all wrong.
Thank God that your here to point shit like that out.
Get a life outside camping on this blog (all day) and find fault with everyone’s point, opinion, thoughts.
Must be awesome to be right all the fucking time.
Well not all the fucking time, but in this case, certainly.
Thank God that your here – lastman
============
you’re
Ha, ha, Q, well played.
Capitalization is a thing. Missing words is a thing. Being a low IQ pedant is a thing.
You’re living the thing life. Congrats, dude.
People aren’t expected to write PhD dissertations here, but basic grammar, capitalisation, and punctuation could be applied, so the reader is not over-offended.
Some here are quite close to functionally illiterate. And deliberately so, I would wager.
Howie, how are ya? I used to like Howie Carr, but of course I didn’t know back then like I do now.
T Jefferson says: “I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.”
well- they tried. It was a noble effort.
I think Dr. Mike Yeadon spells out The Smoking Gun here that everyone must see:

If Joe Rogan interviews him that could help us reach that critical tipping point to deliver those currently living inside their Covid bubbles to break free.
Good grief.
Mike Yeadon and Joe Rogan quoted in the same post … it seems there are no depths that are not too deep for the pandemic-denier. Sad.
Troll knows better than former VP of Pfizer’s Respiratory division, who left on good terms to start up own biotech company and continued to work with Pfizer, so has no axe to grind and is in need of neither publicity (being a serious introvert) nor money, having sold his company.
Troll does not have a degree in biochemistry and toxicology or a research-based PhD in respiratory pharmacology, like Mike Yeadon, so the best he can do for his paymasters is to fling yet more ad homs.
If you listened to the interview and responded, you might have some credibility as a non-troll, troll.
Very silly double negative there too, for someone demanding good grammar to avoid offending readers.
Sad.
But not as sad as being a paid troll.
Greetings from Mt. Monadnock. I used to think I was born 150 years late. Now I’m thinking I was born 150 years too soon. Either way, we’re here for the biggest shit show in the history of Human kind… break out the pop corn.
😉
It is a great time to be alive…for how much longer?
No butter on my popcorn please and just a touch of Redmond salt.
Lately Walmart has been looking to me like they have no interest in running actual stores.
The retail store is on the way out.
Amazon keeps taking away the advantage of the retail stores, ease of returns, better selection, instant gratification, and eyes-on selection. Retail sales has almost no protective advantage, thus its precarious position.
My wife says that retail stores have lousy selection, too, but that could be generational.
Ha, like paying to have holes torn into jeans legs. To make them look worn out?
Someone needs to come up with a better idea, always. Someone needs to compete with Bezos. Governmental protection to protect Amazon needs to be removed.
Along with all the other big corporations, competition needs to reign supreme.
Remove protection, do not penalize, the competitive sand box needs to be level.
Amazon makes basically no money running Amazon.com. The big money is in AWS, supported by the Intelligence Community. There they make a LOT of money.
That’s going to come to an end, too, but not before subsidized Amazon.com has made a sterile landscape of retail.
I know so many people, not just women, but many younger men as well, who enjoy going shopping as a pastime.
The malls are failing because the anchor stores are failing, not because the customers all of a sudden stopped.
Sometimes I am forced to try to order shoes online. I read the reviews, all the women having a terrible time trying to buy shoes without having tried them on first.
Then there’s the dreaded “runs big” or “runs small”. If one sneaker in a brand isn’t the same size as their other size 6 1/2, why do the tell you it’s that size? Why not call it the size it is?
If you aren’t careful, you end up spending money to try on clothing.
Right you are. I noticed Amazon prices were higher for selected goods than Ebay where a human is actually selling brand new things exactly the same as Amazon.
AWS?
Amazon makes basically no money running Amazon.com. The big money is in AWS
Some evidence that amazon.com doesn’t make money … I think this is horseradish. And what is “AWS” when it’s at home?
What rabbit-hole are you emerging from?
ianw – Amazon Web Services, which is undoubted connected to whichever ISP you use to access this very page, so where along the line…
This is an important point for Anti-trust. Would amazon.com (and other amazon online stores) make any money at all if it had to pay full price for servers like everyone else who uses AWS?
Hey, less fabric. So women’s clothes should be cheaper than men’s, but they’re fancy, so no.
The gimmick lately is men wearing shorts in the winter.
I notice wearing flip flops in February in the northeast is no longer a thing.
Vkad, I noticed that those wearing shorts and flip flops and looking stoic all arrive in late model vehicles that aren’t going to break down. Then they park close to the entrance of their destination. They aren’t walking anywhere far.
Always have an old coat and blanket in the trunk. And a candle in the glove compartment. It could save your life.
Jarek, especially if you travel I-95 with a lame duck governor in office.
People just need to ignore bezos…ignore all of them.
If not, future generations will be/have nothing.
If I’m not mistaken, someone already said that.
Right, but it will not happen until something better comes along.
One comment on Amazon, it is nothing but a catalogue store combined with a very slick delivery service. It has cost all of us much higher shipping charges as other companies have tried to compete.
Remember though, it is a store, that promotes sales from manufacturers. It promotes small business. Sears, Wards, Kmart, Target and Walmart are predecessors.
One other observation, there is a drive by the computer nerds to make everything happen at home, to stay home. Naturally, the Covid business has aided their drive. So has Amazon. Most people do not like the shopping at the mall experience anymore. Bezos realized these trends and is wealthy because of it.
I was never big on mall shopping. I tended to patronize the smaller places. They are all but gone.
The end of JITS is the siren call of the big box establishments.
You’ll remember that JC Penneys catalog companies put the hurt on the mom n pop shops back in the XIX century- Then Wal_Mart crushed the big catalog companies’ bricks n mortar outlets. Now finally online is crushing WalMart. But still, through it all, a lot of mom n pop shops of various kinds grind through. I could put in a commercial for my wife’s vintage clothing business. The answer seems to lie in combining a shopfront of even micro size with an online presence using one of a number of online intermediaries-who naturally sit on your money for several days before sending it on, but codb. There are always guerilla solutions.
Walmart has always looked that way to me. Walked into a Walmart 5 times in my life (cursing my weakness each time). And each time walked out empty-handed because they didn’t have what I was looking for (asking myself, “When are you going to learn?”, each time). Actually the first time I just went to see if they had anything made in the USA – I didn’t find anything, even the “Made in USA” hat was made in China.
Walmart has always varied by location, from what I understand. Some in more rural areas of the south were much nicer stores.
When Sam Walton was alive, Walmart still carried more USA made products than other places.
Remember how you used to get greeted when you entered? Now many stores send someone running after you as you are leaving, demanding to see your sales slip.
Sam Walton ran it as hands-on as possible.
Would show up a loading dock in the wee morning hours with coffee and doughnuts, talk with the employees, find out what was good and what they needed, address issues. Find a truck, introduce himself, and ride in the cab for the next 10-12 hours. Learned a lot about the business and employees with such tactics.
Not taught in the management schools today.
In my rural area, Walmart is almost the only place to shop within a reasonable driving distance–and certainly the only place where you can run in and pick up a toaster, a pair of reading glasses, a bunch of radishes, and a quart of motor oil–and fill your prescription.
Since both the clientelle and the employees are almost all rural, everyone is friendly and courteous.
People who live in the city tell me that they don’t shop at Walmart because the other shoppers are tweakers and assorted other forms of lowlife, and they don’t want to get mugged in the parking lot.
Blackbird, while not a big fan of Walmart, I recently went there looking for propane camping gas in 16oz. cylinders for a heater of mine. My local sporting goods store was all out. Walmart had Coleman Camping Gas cylinders in the 16 oz. size that I needed. These are made in the USA “with global components”. The actual cylinders are made by Worthington Cylinder Corp in Columbus, OH. Like I said, I am not a big fan of Walmart but fair is fair. Not everything in these horrid stores are made in China.
Walmart has ALWAYS looked to me like they have no interest in their actual stores.
I have visited, very regrettably, maybe three times, through no real choice, and each time I could only overcome the experience by way of a long hot shower, a three finger pour of a nightcap, and a trip to an old fashioned steak house. Bottle and cigar service and all that.
Restores your confidence in humanity.
Yes, to make a healthy competitive capitalistic economy happen, big box needs to be constantly replaced by more aggressive smaller companies and corporations. Remember the bail out of the car companies, watch the government try to aid them to shut down Tesla.
The Deep State is the source of the ability of big corporations to ignore taxes, get contracts, move offshore, access Wall Street. The DeepState wants few and big corporations so they can control the economy from DC.
Jarek is right, capitalism trends towards monopolization, yes, and it needs negative feedback of some sort, maybe realistic progressive income taxes to thwart the loss of competitiveness. Another effect, though, is the government forcing the loss of competitiveness by favoring the big guys. The Deep State wants socialism, albeit Communism. Germany did the same thing under Hitler, nationalizing the economy for power, fascism.
Remember Trump wanting to put a tax return on a post card. The inside track on that was he wanted to undo the protection the big boxes have from taxes and the power of the Congressional lobbyists for preferential tax treatment.
It is this power that will destroy capitalism in the US. The Deep State is smiling at the demise of our competitive society.
Your post makes no sense. Centralization will happen unless a more powerful force checks it. That would be the Government. Fascism and National Socialism give orders to industry not vice versa.
Americans are insane. If you put the issue before got_truth he would choose to be ruled by the corporations rather than evil government.
It is one or the other. I’d rather be ruled by people who were elected and have sworn oaths to serve. They can be removed, at least theoretically, in an otherwise healthy state. None of that is true under Plutocracy. The rulers there answer only to the shareholders.
YOUR post makes no sense.
You are saying the government is the control over centralization, monopolization?
They are the cause of it!!
Socialism, totalitarianism has destroyed societies . The decentralization of societies is the trigger for solid economies.
You believe the vote will control the government? Jarek, your are just plain not paying attention.
Private capital centralizes. That’s what the International Banks and Corporations (now the Funds) are. They rule the West and much of the rest of the planet to boot. Your libertarianism was a ruse for the rubes. A mind poison. It worked. You are the evidence.
I don’t know about that.
I’d rather not be “ruled” by anybody.
But if I’ve got to make a choice between the forces of commerce and the forces of government, I think that’s pretty dicey.
After all, there’s thousands of years of recorded history. And most of the wars, oppressions, suppressions, genocides, ethnic cleansing and mass internments have been perpetrated by the guy saying “I’m here to run things “, NOT by the guy saying “I’m here to sell you stuff”.
Are you saying the rise of ESG scores being perpetrated by the Left via banks as part of Klaus Schwab is WEF is capitalist enterprise; government meddling in the free market;or an attempt to meld corporatist, banking, and government interests into a single entity to rule over everyone with a rod of iron?
Yes, let’s hope Woke turns to Wake for BigCorp: their funeral wake.
Absolutely Liz! If everyone quit heading to mal wart, lowe’s, home depot, mcdon’s, kfc, taco bell, etc., etc., etc. The place would be on there ass in a matter of months.
But alas, sheep are sheep. Until slaughter.

Then you’re wasting time typing on this site. Go back to your “85/dollars/h” job. What a boob.
Consider you might be feeding the “wildlife” by acknowledging the bs. Not being critical, just offering a thought.
We have witnessed the greatest act of mass murder in history.
I don’t share the belief that all of this is nearly over, however. In Europe, they are doing whatever they can to keep the vax/SSI pass alive.
The fight for freedom will take longer.
Kazakhstan- they told us it was over high fuel prices, but I am hearing it is because they locked them out of their money with a “vax pass”.
Oddly enough, none of our elected officials, or former ones, in this country, even seem aware that this is happening.
Link?
I have been following the situation, but have found little in the way of useful info.
The endgame for all of us is to comply or be locked out of our bank accounts, food stores, etc., so I would be quite interested to see if the government did, in fact, already go that far.
My only links would be to people saying they have heard this.
Good info from Pepe Escobar on the background to the current op in Kaz:
http://thesaker.is/steppe-on-fire-kazakhstans-color-revolution/
Escobar doesn’t mention vaxxpasses. Perhaps his informants didn’t mention.
If you are unfamiliar with Pepe Escobar, don’t be turned off by The Saker blog location.The Saker, Andrei Rayevsky, is his own brand of covid nut, but his blog an excellent “from-the-horse’s-mouht” source on Euransian affairs. Some of the regular commenters are very well informed.
Escobar is one of the most brilliant analysts and writers out there. His “official” perch is Asia Times.
There is other good analysis of Russia/Eurasian affairs here–namely, the Ukraine/Russia/Donbass situ:
http://thesaker.is/latest-articles/
It seems quite clear that the US is trying to start a war with Russia. Some in the admin or DoD must ; know that this is madness and we can’t win. other hardliners want to give it a try. Meanwhile, Russia-China have pretty much perfected their SWIFT alternative. Check out the great Hudson-Norton interview (also linked at The Saker blog) to see more dots and ways to connect them.

Escobar is not bad, but let’s be clear, he’s a Chinese asset. Everybody has an agenda, and he has one too.

Kinda makes one think of this passage, especially TBE last few verses:
Revelation 13
NIV
The Beast out of the Sea
1 The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. 4 People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?” 5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear. 10 “If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed.”This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people.
The Beast out of the Earth
11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.
Oh, they’re aware Beryl – they just fucking pretend they aren’t aware. The new way of governance – if you pretend it doesn’t exist – then it doesn’t.
To wit: This morning, thousands have crossed our southern border. If we pretend they haven’t though – then they haven’t.
Like Pelosi pretending she & her husband are trading ” a free market” – I guess, if they think so.
Do nothing-Make excuses. The motto of the Deep State.
The new type of governance is on purpose, totally. First, spend fifty years loading up every institution with your cohorts until you are in singular power across the board. Then, pass the laws to make your permanence the law of the land. Uniparty arises. The Deep State arises.
Hitler did it in ten years because of the emergency state of Germany economics. Fascism is coming from the Left, quickly now with Covid. You all may be right, the Unvaxxed may be wearing stars in the future.
Hmm, sound familiar?
Amen John – check this out Germany today – the US tomorrow, or maybe next week. Headed this way nonetheless.

Yes, he took a ruined land owned by the nascent New World Order, kicked them out and created an economic miracle – one shared with the humblest working people.
Americans are insane.

1/2 the worlds uranium comes from there.
Behind the scenes, all these green countries and the .00001% realize that this wet dream that they have been having requires massive amounts of electricity.
Well said!
Here’s one for you John. True story, I’ll be as brief as I can.
Bitcoin…Group of investors bought an old abandon plant in a nearby liberal city…for pennies on the dollar/10 year tax blah,blah. Investors fixed the place up minutely and began renting spaces. In comes a bitcoin mining deal. Pretty big one from what I could see. So, their mining coin. BC heading up…smart move it appears. BC to 100k! Suddenly, BC flat lines for quite a while. I think it was stuck in the $30 k area for quite some time.
With the plant also came a bunch or small rental homes…plus or minus a 100 of them. So they got more money/tax incentives to create affordable housing. These places could have been bought for easily under a 100k and probably a lot less than that before all of this. Homes built circa 1930 on avg. 1000-1500 sq. ft. max. Get the pic?
So, with BC flatlining, the BC investors suddenly bail. Gone. No continued growth in BC, no profit.
With the sudden RE boom, the investor dudes are like, hey man BC left so we gotta pay da man, so we going to offer these homes to the existing renters…we’ll make them a deal that they can’t refuse. How about $349,995.00?
Homes worth about 50k on a 50×50 lot. I do know that you could not buy one for under $300k.
So back to where I was going, massive amounts of electricity, BC. The county where this took place produces 60 mega kilowatts of electricity…for the whole county. The bitcoin mining op used 20 mega kilos of it.
1/3 of a whole counties electricity…every month…to mine BC…in a GREEN communist shining shithole of ignorance.
Oh…I forgot to mention that this area was also a (“reclaimed”) superfund cleanup site.
I do not know how much of the BC part was involved, but your economic description reminds me of Williston, ND with the advent of Fracking.
Same thing in 19th century with Gold, Silver and Copper mining. There are thousands of ghost towns around to record the destruction.
Interesting, thanks. I hadn’t looked at uranium production beyond the areas in Canada.
from Cameco: As 40% of world’s uranium supply, any disruption in Kazakhstan could of course be a significant catalyst in the uranium market.
I did rather well, pure luck, when Cigar Lake flooded a dozen or more years ago. Who knew a huge uranium mine in northern Saskatchewan’s frozen land would flood, boosting the price of all the other holdings in the area. Pure luck for junior players rolling the dice.
The Russians are acting with the other regional actors to stop this quickly lest it get out of control.
Another poster pointed to Sprott’s Physical Uranium Trust.
Systems. Interconnection. if/when it goes down the toilet, hard time’s are a comin’ indeed
They will have all the electricity they need. You and I may not.
Beryl: most of our elected officials don’t even know where Kazakhstan is.
Geography, another core grammar school class tossed into the wastebucket.
Growing up in the city, I first thought it was Grandma school because she lived a couple of blocks from it.
They aren’t giving up on this madness, they have nothing going for them other than covid. Considering the number of sheep I see out there very afraid, the madness will be ramped up for the mid-term, not that voting means a damn thing. It is just a ritual at this point, makes some people feel better like wearing a mask.
Speaking of those masks, first the admit what we all already knew- a piece of cloth over your airways doesn’t do anything.
Now I am seeing in the MSM much talk of N95 and KN95 masks, and suddenly a lot of advertising for them.
This is what they are going to try to push on us all next.
It’s already starting.
These masks have already been tested with enforcement, and have failed, but that will not stop these sick monsters.
N95 and others of that type are not suitable for physical activity, due to CO2 buildup. They are meant to be used short term in situations where a sick person needs to reduce their ability to infect someone.
They also need to be disposed of after about an hour or two.
Here in Germany, we have idiots riding bikes while wearing them.
Since the very beginning, the appearance of people with masks on outside has proven to me that the Stupidification process by the Deep State has been a success.
One lurker emerged in a rage last year, disputing the dangers of masks. He runs hills in an N95.
Americans are insane.
The latest study using three groups, control, cloth and n95 and using actual occurrence of the disease as the measured variable showed,
Control and cloth were identical, n95 showed a ten % decrease in disease incidence. The sample size was big, like 200000+.
So what is the response to the data?
More mask mandates?
The government gives not a thought to real science.
Hope the SC shuts down the mandates today.
“Hope the SC shuts down the mandates today.”
Seems pollyanish.
Well, Pollyanna might be all that is left.
Saw my first two N95s today. I laughed in their faces and made “pretty polly” parrot sounds. That’s what they looked like: fucking parrots.
Hereward,
every little bit is vital at this point. We have to show defiance. They need to understand there’s no monolithic consensus and dissent is everywhere. Mockery, irony, are good minimalist reminders that “another world is possible”
“Polly want a cracker?”
I ventured out to the supermarket today. No mask mandate in the particular city. What I did see, which reinforces “the MSM much talk of N95 and KN95 masks, and suddenly a lot of advertising for them” was a significant number of these masks.
Prior to this, I’d see one occasionally, could almost figure it was someone in the trades who would normally have a supply in the course of doing work.
The people I saw with them today, and there were many, by garb alone aren’t working in the trades.
I avoid MSM as much as possible. Watching what people are doing and how they act gives me a lot of info regarding the current MSM line of bs.
Oh no! Covid goes, there will be racism rearing it’s head again. The modus operandi of the Deep State is to keep something, some issue to divide the public.
“The modus operandi of the Deep State is to keep something, some issue to divide the public.”
Yup.
Antisemitism is making a comeback. It’s funny though, the people making the charges are the ones who are usually fine with all the Jew-hate.
The Harry Potter author is antisemitic now, because she didn’t get with the program that men can be women.
Jon Stewart, Mr. Cancel Culture himself, has dubbed her so.
Stewart claims he was just joking.
So that’s what was up.
I saw some collage with JK Rowling in it, wasn’t complimentary, being a kind of “woke” cancel culture thing. Another instance of something not worthy of my time.
Not George, allowing men to “identify” themselves as women and thus allowing men into women’s private spaces, including locker rooms, showers, barracks, sports, prison cells, dressing rooms, bathrooms and spas, should be worthy of everyone’s time and attention.
A woman is a biological entity, a reality, the half of humanity that bears children, but under the new laws, ”woman” is a fantasy feeling in a man’s head.
If you want to live in reality you’d probably pay some attention. Because they are now telling children as young as three that they ”might have been born in the wrong body”.
This is another Big Pharma/Big Government agenda. They are taking children away from parents who refuse to play along with the fantasy.
Paula D, it was a collage which flipped by me on the screen. I can’t recall who else was depicted. Dozens, most likely.
It wasn’t worth my time to linger long enough to notice who else was there. The JK Rowling color pattern stood out a bit from the rest. Otherwise I would not have noticed the collage at all. Since I’m not a MSM follower, it made zero sense until some sort of back story which I wouldn’t spend time following was posted upstream from here.
Interesting you focused in on something I barely noticed.
For decades I’ve been telling anyone who would listen, and many who simply ignored me, “the state” believes they own our children, the parent being a “caretaker at will’ of some sort. And… fathers don’t count as parents, only as wallets. Try fighting that system!
Talk about an agenda!
Maybe it is finally coming out in the open.
“They are taking children away from parents who refuse to play along with the fantasy.”
No Paula, it is much more: They have been taking away children from fathers as part of the fantasy. This was the beginning many decades ago. Incentivizing fatherless households, particularly within certain groups, exacerbated the problem.
Thinking they defeated the fathers, the focus is now on defeating the mothers.
Some women (not all women) have been going along with the gravy train for years.
Some men (not all men) simply gave up, suffering tremendous angst about the loss of their children to a system with an agenda.
This is one father who refused to play along. Very, very expensive. My (now adult) children are priceless to me.
Children need both parents. Both make unique contributions to the development of their children.
Social problems? It was all social engineering, today the end game is in view.
The book was published over 25 years ago.
The problem has been brewing for much longer.

great comment by @Not_GeorgeT there.
My husband and I discussed this the other day. I see it the way you do, that women are considered the primary parent by the courts, but he says that the courts prefer to give joint custody nowadays.
I agree that fatherless families are more apt to produce feral children.
But that is not the same attack on reality and language that the trans agenda is.
Saying that mothers should have main custody is nowhere near the craziness of saying that women are not mothers, imo.
The attack on men and masculinity came first. Women participated in this gleefully. Now they are dumbfounded that women and femininity are under attack. Mary refuses to admit any connection. Typical.
The Deep State used the weaker, dumber sex to attack the stronger, smarter sex. Smart move. It worked.
This agenda is not about attacking men, Jarek.
It is attacking reality and it is attacking humanity.
Yes, it’s a real process that started with men. Are men not real?
And women did join in, gleefully. Bet you did a bit too, right?
Tis just a scratch but it will suffice. Tomorrow we shall all be grave men.
Agreed Night Owl (from a Euroland perspective).
On a somewhat positive note, the “Fauci book” (The Real Anthony Fauci, by RFK) arrived at lunchtime. I’ve fingered through it, and it is as impressive as reported, especially the footnotes and citations. A book of evidence, in effect. It’s looks structured and certainly meticulous.
Sadly, I could only get it on amazon.com (amazon.co.uk only had the ‘summary of’ rip offs, strangely). In doing so, I broke my promise of never using amazon again, but hey ho. I have started using another online book store, and there are always book stores locally. For other items of hardware, amazon isn’t necessary anyway (at least not yet). But such is life.
Interesting what Jim mentioned about the food supply. On Facebook earlier this morning on the page of the Irish Fish and Seafood Alliance, there was a fish product label – Alaskan pollock, caught in Alaska, sent to Poland for processing, and forwarded to Ireland for packaging as ‘Irish’. Bonkers? Yup. And that’s not a fraction of it.
[PS When the richest fishing grounds in the EU are around the UK and Ireland (not considering Icelandic and Norwegian waters), but hey, Irish fishing grounds currently host Japanese, Korean (tuna), Russian, Faroese, Norwegian, Icelandic and EU vessels, even as Irish vessels are paid to tie to the quay. All hail the mighty EU!!]
A Happy New Year to all.
shv
The Capitalists sell us the rope with which to hang them.
The Capitalists sell us the rope and we autoerotically asphyxiate ourselves with it.
That reminds me, I have to look for the Berenson book again.
Jake Tapper for some obscure reason, has taken issue with RFK Jr., Jake with the pervert producer he didn’t know about. He has called Bobby all kinds of nasty names, but strangely enough, when Bobby asks him to discuss exactly what parts of his book Jake has issues with, Jake won’t take him up on his offer.
I need to get a copy of it.
Great user name, BTW.
SHV,
I’m looking forward to reading that book, too.
The tragedy of the fisheries… most wiped out already (cod)… the rest on the ropes. In the South Atlantic off Argentina & the Falklands all the way to Antarctica, pirate fleets operate around the clock. Chinese, of course, the worst of them, but also Korean, Spanish and others.
Argie Navy & CG catch one out of 20 & tow them to Patagonian ports. Catch is confiscated (where does it go), crew is let go (“human rights”), ship is released after Chink embassy greases palms.
Whiting and squid, downward to extinction. And so it goes…
Sea farming and tidal power.
Thermal depolymerization (garbage gas) to clean up the choking rivers and oceans.
Yet they spend all our stored social capital on stupid, pointless, genocidal political games. Stupendous amounts of money stampeding the herds and stripping the joint.
Rewrite the past, one has no vision of the future except dominance. That’s why one rewrites the past.
The interesting thing is that some technologies are actually useful. Take solar panels. In the summer, a somewhat affordable home system without an accumulator can provide power for the entire house for most of the day when the sun is out.
In the winter, it is less effective, but with an accumulator, it can still be quite useful.
The problem is that the costs are still far too high for the latter system.
Then on the flip side they push technologies that right now appear to be either going nowhere or are questionable at best, such as EVs and windmills.
I am interested in nuclear again. Have listened to some very convincing arguments that we have been lied to about the dangers, and that the Great Reset class wants energy shortages to further their control agenda. In fact, the more I read outside of the corporate press, the more it becomes apparent that we have solutions that could provide us with limitless energy, but for some reason, they just can’t seem to give it to us.
LOL.
Night Owl, as a certified Solar Energy installer, I personally think it is criminal that we aren’t at almost 100% of hot water generation being solar, but only in remote off-grid installations does solar electricity generation make even the slightest sense over the long term.
At a grid level huge amounts of solar is an ongoing environmental crime, as are the windmills.
Fukushima and zombie movies, why nuclear power was viewed as a huge threat to me.
Agreed, Night Owl. I get a bit frustrated reading articles saying it’s over when all I see around me are bemasked fools and power crazed Karens giving me the stink-eye. Maybe, Jim’s right, and behind their masks and ovine gazes, people really are ready to blow. Let’s see how the Frenchies react to Macron’s “Kristallnacht” moment.
Everywhere I go, I’m the only one without a mask on.
Interesting, Beryl, here in Phoenix, about 20% have masks, stores, church, no one outside.
Politics!
It’s the opposite here in Alabama. Mask mandates were short-lived and rescinded last April.
The only people who still wear them are virtue signaling college Democrats, the very elderly or immune compromised, and COVID Karen’s afflicted with Mass Formation Psychosis. So, maybe 5-10% still wear masks in public.
Otherwise, the vast majority of Alabamians went back to living normal lives many months ago…..and no, our hospitals are not flooded with Covid patients and we don’t have men with carts trolling our neighborhoods crying “bring out your dead.”
I have not taken the jab. I do not wear a mask. I do no worry about social distancing. The chance of COVID killing me has always been way under 1% and I know it. Now with Omicron dominating over 95% of new infections that risk has dropped to about 1/100% of 1% risk of death.
Hell, I’m more likely to die from a bed paper cut. Most other sensible folks in this state have pretty much figured this out as well.
Bad paper cut.
Hey look, I can understand wanting to work in bed, but at the same time and at the end of the day, it just makes sense to remove your paper, pencils, and pens before going to sleep.
I don’t think most Americans are still buying into the ‘deadly virus’ thing any more.
Yeah, the fight to get out of what they’ve managed to put in place is just beginining.
304.5 days until the midterm elections. my prediction is a false flag event to frame patriots and build on the 01/06 narrative of democracy under threat. stay safe and be well CFN!
A probable false-flag hypothesis for the Jan 6 “Insurrection/Coup/Attack” is that the Deep State needed a galvanizing event to help put a stop to the impending mass Republican congressional vote challenge action. So, they inserted a bunch of FBI/CIA/??? goons into the crowds, opened up the gates, and lead them into the trap. Then, with the immediate, constant “end of the democratic world” mass media hysteria fed the sheeple, any such congress critters would look to be unpatriotic fools.
There were still a few half-assed vote fraud investigations, but the “Joe Biden” result has stood. Unlike JHK, I don’t think anything of importance will come of the Justice Department investigations.
There are Republicans still referring to the “riots” that day.
Until they can give us the names of the people charged with rioting, there were no riots, just some kind of police action.
The treatment of the Jan 6 protestors has been disgraceful, but I’m also angry at Trump. He instigated this knowing that the marches would be infiltrated and that a few hotheads would do something stupid. He let it happen and has shown zero interest in helping the people throw into the deep state dungeons.
Yup, his position on the J6 guys is just as lame as his ‘vaccine’ position. He’s pretty much done. The system will now spit up an even more interesting character.
Agree, HomoSapiens, except that I would add the antifa types around the corner of the Capitol, breaking windows and pushing cops for the cameras.
Meanwhile, the Trumpers on the front steps knew nothing about that, and were more than happy to enter the building when invited.
Then Pelosi and McConnell announced they were under attack and stopped the proceedings.
I had friends watching on C-Span. That was the first time that the evidence had been presented on live TV, nationwide.
Just as one Congressman was reading the evidence the feed was cut.
And when they all came back the dissenters had been silenced and were properly chastened.
It was an operation and it went off flawlessly.
I wouldn’t blame Trump for not realizing what the Deep State had planned. I think he really thought that peaceful protest would be allowed, and that democracy could have its day.
He was wrong.
Wow. Wow. Paula D, that’s the most perfect summary ever. That’s it, I’m going to repeat that as often as I can.
It was an operation to cut off presentation of the evidence of the Steal.
Proof? My favorite picture:
The one showing Congressionals cowering behind the front row seats?
The larger picture shows the rows behind them. Congressmen in the seats above, sprawled out, bored, surfing their cell phones, or gazing down in perplexed contempt at the idiots cowering behind the front row seats.
Ha! I have that as a meme. What a farce!
My mother had CNN on all day yesterday. What a bunch of drama queens. Insurection blah, blah blah, Trump blah, blah, blah, end of democracy blah, blah, blah. as if the Biden installation wasn’t a coup d’etat. If they have their way, democracy is already dead and the dems are permanently installed. I read that they want to approve any candidates offered by the Republicans in future to assure right thinking in the controlled opposition. Intersperced was the occasional covid, covid, covid. They were loud. Their speach was pressured. I understand their viewship has dropped to under 700,000 while the readership of The Gateway Pundit has increased by 40%. By their behavior on New Year’s Eve, I believe they know the end is nigh. It’s a tough act to properly propagandize the populace when no one is watching. How can they justify the continuation of their enormous incomes?
Meanwhile, the baby, my first great grandaughter, has omicron along with my eldest grandaughter. The baby was pretty sick for a day, but is now only suffering a stuffy nose. Other than me, my family is now ostensibly immune. This is the end of their hopes for universal vaccination, I think.
It will be a test of whether the Deep State has gotten away with Do nothing-Make excuses for another two years.
The GOP thinks it is in the bag. I think they are delusional. They forget that 50% of the GOP belongs in the Democratic Party.
Too many people are hoping for a political solution in the midterms and Nov 24. As James points out, we are so far beyond that, that we’re out of sight. Even if the GOP win it all back, does anyone REALLY expect human excrement like Romney or McConnell to right all the wrongs of the last two years? I don’t see how the States can remain united when one half of the nation refuses to accept the legitimacy of the other half.
50%? You think it’s only 50%? Watch the clip of Tucker laying into Ted Cruz for jumping ship. Cruz crawled, but Tucker didn’t really believe him.
He will always betray us when the chips are down.
The vast majority are like that. Capitalism/Communism is the Deep State. Republicans represent the Capitalist faction.
The losers right? Except that Capitalism is the dominant philosophy and the Deep State is based on money. Just as Black Rock is the biggest fund, but it is actually controlled by Vanguard.
Who’d have thought Tucker had it in him?
I remember, at the time Ted snuck off to Mexico on vacation while Texans were freezing, there were those who defended him because he is on ‘our side’.
I had no problem with him getting his family someplace warm, and for not doing some sort of “pitching in” stunt.
The problem I had with him is that what happened in Texas was the result of plans and policies in place that will affect us all, eventually, and whether they seem like federal issues right now or not, Ted is too smart not to see what’s happening, and he didn’t say one word about it.
Beryl
Consider it is already time to start running for president.
So far, Cruz is just one that has started to separate from the Trump GOP. There will be lots more.
I actually laugh about it. All the GOP contenders will try to crucify Trump until one is selected. Then you will see the glorification of the former president as the hero of the party.
Just like Biden in 2019, remember who his greatest critic was in the debates.
His Vice President.
Remember JFK, RFK and LBJ?
I gained respect for Ted. He showed up and faced his accuser (Carlson, who I also admire). He was credible. I never liked him at all until he got over Trump’s insults when Trump won and became a big supporter of the new president, and even brought a suit to the SC challenging the fraudulent election. Remember, these are politicians and not boy scouts.
Expand it, State Street is in the mix and they all own parts of each other.
The best outcome might be a collapse of the behemoth onto itself, fueled by its own weight. Nothing goes in a straight line, though at times it appears some things do.
Where is Ray Epps when you need him?
https://www.revolver.news/2021/12/damning-new-details-massive-web-unindicted-operators-january-6/
Where’s the pipe bomber?
I noticed when Tucker questioned Cruz about Epps and the pipe bomber that Cruz did a skillful tap dance right out of it.
I expect a FF any day
We get one every day, if not more.
Bingo.
Mr. Kunstler’s writings and recommendations for future living arrangements are prescient, timely, and grounded in facts.
Genuine Facts About Omicron, Delta, Naturally Acquired Immunity, and Vaccines:
https://www.justfactsdaily.com/omicron-delta-naturally-acquired-immunity-vaccines
Summary:
Scores of rigorously documented facts show that politicians and public health officials have mishandled the Covid-19 pandemic in grossly negligent ways that have harmed and killed countless people. With cover from the media, this cabal is blaming the Omicron and Delta variants for the devastation caused by their actions.
…and by extension, members of the old republics and autocracies who were first in line for EUA mRNA injections and boosters, shall be first in line for early involuntary retirement, due to the accelerating maladies of myocarditis and clotting.
No individual legal recourse is presently available, as all past and present injections are administered under the provisions of “Emergency Use Authorization”, conferring indemnification to the supply chain.
Members of the New Republic are a bit harder to involuntary retire, as mobile flanking positions, the local means of regenerative food, water, and energy production, and coordinated local self-defense, provide for optimal outcomes.
By design.
The TRUTH shall set you free.
ALL Time and Energy are best spent building out the New, not fighting the old.
GODSPEED!!

“[M]ishandled the Covid-19 pandemic”
This will be the excuse to cover up the actual agenda. CJ Hopkins recently pointed out that as the narrative crumbles, we are entering limited hangout territory in the corporate press.
They will claim that everything they demanded everyone worked, when it’s over.
And that would be the most hopeful scenario.
We may not be so lucky. Buckle up.
Agreed. We will have seriously underestimated the perps if a second, more deadly wave, isn’t soon to follow. Events in Ukraine and Kazakhstan indicate that a broader plan might be unfolding as we speak as well. Chinese and Russian plans to decouple from the dollar and the SWIFT payments system has the empire rightfully quaking in its boots. What better response to quell domestic unrest in the wake of a cratering dollar than another, genuinely lethal this time, pandemic outbreak to preoccupy the little people?
This was for Night Owl above.
I don’t subscribe to the idea that they have released or will release any virus or disease.
Were they to do so, they would put themselves at risk, too.
IMO, the so-called virus was not a virus, but a case of statistical manipulation and media bullshit, starting with the comically fake Wuhan newsreels.
The shots are a different story, and serve two functions (that I can deduce, at least): poisoning and forced compliance with the coming pass system (where they can get it).
In whom to trust, that is the question, Owl. Not hard for me to believe your hypothesis at all. It fits the model, for surety. Chris Martenson, on the other hand, says the virus is very real, if human engineered. *sigh*
I know what you mean, but until we see the virus isolated, and until we have a test that provably detects the so-called virus, I will believe nothing else.
Those are two basic facts that all of us have a right to, and it is very telling that info. on both is concealed, and that we now know they lied about cases using a test that the CDC admits is worthless.
Anyone else notice the new lingo, as covid infects the vaccinated, that they “tested positive”?
Doesn’t that give people the impression that you can be sick without knowing it, and that you desperately need those tests to tell you weather you are healthy or not?
This reminds me of the AIDS crisis. They started making the distinction between “HIV positive” and “full-blown AIDS”, which was very confusing to the general public.
If someone has gotten sick with a virus, say they have the virus!
You never hear that someone tested positive for the flu.
Nice, Beryl.
AIDS was another Fauci-driven hoax
What test is being given? Isn’t the PCR now kaput?
@ Beryl…just heard those words, “tested positive” from a person I know who is “fully vaccinated.” All three.
Truly amazing isn’t it…what is next?
Jarek, the rapid test is the rapid antigen test. It is (get this) less accurate than the PCR test, which isn’t accurate.
I’m starting to see test boxes on the ground on garbage collection day.
I’ll argue from the middle, that there is a ‘something’, and they don’t want to reveal what they have.
1. future use
2. like any virus, it won’t have that big or lasting an impact, so must be exaggerated
Addendum: it is very likely that both 20th Century scourges, Spanish flu and “polio”- sudden onset paralytic poliomyelytis – came from screwed up experimental vaccine attempts.
The over-vaccination racket came into power covering up its mistakes, and then exploiting them. Criminal all around.
(Spanish flu, from a vaccine given to Army soldiers in Kansas, who took it to the trenches of WW1, where it mutated and came back with them.
Sudden onset paralysis was unknown until the 20th C. From a handful of cases to a sudden explosion in Brooklyn. Historic polio left children with a withered limb, no known mentions of sudden paralysis.)

It’s not either/or. They might have cooked up something, but obviously the vast majority of “cases” are simply fraudulent and have nothing to do with any engineered virus. They’re just a cold or a flu, something else (like old age) or nothing at all!
“In whom to trust”, that is a misleading question. Don’t trust anybody. Evaluate all information you get regardless of the source. Nobody is right all the time. And hardly anybody is wrong all the time – unless they are trying to be.
Don’t trust Fauci. Don’t trust RFK jr. Read or listen to what they have to say and decide whether it rings true to you.
RFK jr. seems to think the “Covid virus” is real. Does that mean that if we think “the virus” is a hoax that we should reject what he says about Fauci? Or if we find RFK jr’s characterization of Fauci credible (notice I didn’t say, “believable”?), does that mean we have to accept that “the virus” is real? There’s babies in that there bath water.
BB, spot on. IOW, pick up every iota of info available, while aware of each source’s agenda and allegiances, then think for yourself, long and hard, and arrive to your own conclusions.
The hardest thing to do, for most. They want somebody to give them the soundbite, the easy answer.
Okay, so it’s a quantum universe and there are no certainties, only probabilities. Don’t trust anybody or even any thing. Just do the best you can and choose a probability. That’s all you can do. Sounds like inviting paralysis by analysis. Whaddya think?
JT, if analysis necessarily leads to paralysis, then I suppose we shouldn’t think about anything, but instead just run trustingly into the future. Isn’t that what most of us have been doing?
Virus vs. shots. Same outcomes, different mechanisms. But I wouldn’t discount the idea that they could change it up and introduce a killer virus or other biological or chemical agent either. The possibilities are endless. The primary and immediate advantage being sowing dissension, fear, and forced compliance in the populace, with staggering long term death and severe disability rates being a nice side benefit as well.
The end game is to get everyone digitally tracked and tagged a la China. Is it paranoid to think that by forcing people constantly to get tested, many will become more amenable to getting the chip that our Swedish friends seem so enthusiastic about? Seems far fetched but people are so pathetic that they will accept any indignity if it makes life easier.
Agree. A tweak having little lasting power is being leveraged by a media campaign into accomplishing a larger agenda, as was the vague “Human Infectious Virus” with “Auto Immunity Deficiency Syndrome”.
HIV, first identified by WHO ‘voluntary’ human-chimp blood transfusions in 1950s Africa, came from an ape virus called SIDA.
(Somebody was looking to reduce the most prolific breeders in the world-
rightly so, an African mother holds the record at 38 children;
I’ve met a black American with 45 aunts and uncles, 20 by grandpa’s wife #1, 25 by wife #2;
the black father of the most children in the US has 43 illegitimate children;
illegitimate breeding is a cottage industry in the US (the male is called ‘the breeder’ and passed around groups of women for welfare);
the global South never invented so much as an alphabet, overpopulation is not a Northern problem;
-the reduction concept was almost certainly the basis for banning safe DDT in equatorial countries.)
Bushmeat eaters, bloody from butchering monkeys to eat, picked it up either from butchery or those transfusions;
Cuban soldiers picked it up from fraternizing in a cluster of villages in Angola;
Those thrown in prison spread it like wildfire in a contained environment;
Those infected prisoners were deliberately released in the Mariel boatlift and sent to the gay kingdom of Key West, Florida;
Gay promiscuity spread it across the US as the “gay disease”.
Fauci bungled and murdered his way into a private fiefdom of his own. He’s a perfect placement for the WEF to expand their Cull beyond the first trial runs of African and gay control groups.
“Auto Immunity Deficiency Syndrome”. The vaxx gives us AIDS, pathogenic priming leaving our fat, sick, weak, overmedicated, overvaccinated, sugar-poisoned kids and selves wide open to the Cull.
@Alzeaebo RFK’s book goes deeply into the possibilities of what the Aids thing was/is. To much to summarise here but addiction to poppers (yes big pharma product) seems to play a huge part in the American aids experience.
And Anthony Fauci of course.
The polio story linked above is an interesting read, and relevant in an “on background” sense.
Confounding of “virus” with action of various environmental toxins. Or possible combination of toxicity allowing entry of opportunistic viruses.
Not mentioned recently is the fact that both Wuham and Bergamo have some of the most polluted air on the planet.
Maybe we have to widen our attempts to understand the origins of covid19 by looking for not one viral cause but more than one cause, or a toxic/lethal synergy between environment and “vector”?
Population-level comordities, so to speak?

the polio “story”, an author’s critique of the commonplace polio and polio vaccine narratives… very compelling
linked by Mary in a monday-blog comment
If I might reframe it slightly, apply a systems approach.
Existing in isolation is possible, but synergistically existing opens up so many more possibilities.
That synergy is properly called “full spectrum warfare”.
The more bullets hit, the sooner the war is won. Every bullet counts.
NO: Agreed. The real aim – as the psychopaths have never flinched from telling us – is a world rebuilt in their image. That essentially means enslaving the world’s population. The “pandemic” and the digital passes serve that purpose admirably. It might well fade away over the coming months, but the globalists will never give up the digital passes.
Yes, Hereward. Passes are the primary aim. The entire Great Reset fails if the passes fail.
Night: The digital stuff scares the brown stuff out of me. Few people realize that, Covid or no Covid, we are on the cusp of a technological revolution of staggering proportions. The new technologies just around the corner will allow the total control that the Hitlers and Stalins could only have dreamt of. Like all new technologies, these developments always start off in the possession of the “elites”, in this case, those sentimental old humanists, Zuckerberg, Gates, et all. If we don’t grab control of them and ensure they are used only for benevolent purposes, we will end up like the Chinese. Or worse.
Reading about developments in Austria, Australia, Germany, and also here in New England also scare the s— out of me.
Meanwhile people seem to be walking cluelesslyinto the trap as they lecture the deplorables who refuse to be jabbed with unknown substances. Soon the same people will be lecturing the rest of us as to joys of being digitally connected.
One of my faves with her how little blog is Jane Stillwater.
Here is her latest—spot on, IMHO!
“Americans set to soar to whole new levels of gullibility”
https://jpstillwater.blogspot.com/2022/01/antigen-tests-americans-soar-to-whole.html
I agree, Hereward.
I think one reason some people have a hard time comprehending what is happening is that they cannot comprehend what we face, due to the fact that we in the West have lived lives of relative comfort, removed from the horrors of history and separated from places on earth where humans suffer en masse.
Our own psychopaths have never gone away, however.
The technological revolution we are undergoing will make it possible to bring great suffering back to the West. We will look like China if we fail to stop the criminals.
Absolutely. This is the ancient vision, the Perfected World under the One Supreme.
Not an entity. A culture.
The Face of a People.
Perfected, because their rule is eternal.
Immortal, because the tribe is immortal.
One God the Highest- theirs, above all others.
The People who generate the Christ god have a hidden weakness- they project their view onto others, who have gods of their own.
Monotheism is a curse and a crime, it has foundered all our understanding of the World Beyond. Nature must have diversity, lest the Blight, the black mold that creeps up the walls of the greenhouse, take it all.
A monoculture means one plague, one rust, one virus, one Blight–kills the entire field. There are many Peoples, many packs– each generate their own Gods, the gods do not create them.
Monotheism, a political tool, has inverted what /our/ ancestors knew, turned it all upside down- and against /us/.
The rest are no threat to the Blight, they are vulnerable to it. Some, far more susceptible. Infected, by the Blight.
/We/ are the antibody, the successful combination to fight it and achieve the greater imperative, the purpose for which a biosphere forms in the first place: the Seeding layer.
Physical DNA cannot cross the impossible void; energy, as radiant DNA, can, and does. As we create the gods, they, in turn, will someday recreate us, a divine spark, a Seed, of radiant panspermia.
But first, the antibody that opens the Gate must survive. Nature is beyond morality, rather, a child’s picture of morality.
Agh. Forgive me. I see I’ve skipped ahead a few chapters.
For most, even for many here, their values, given by Daddy, were replaced by a malevolent Stepdaddy in a mask.
Thus, we were blinded.
Abide me not. I am beneath all here, a low-born cur.
If a future release of some sort of malady is planned, and the cure is already in hand, the risk is low for the releasers as they already are likely using the cure.
Turning the clock back a bit, if the developers of whatever has likely been floating around making people ill knew HCQ, ivermectin and a number of other common items existing in abundance could easily be stockpiled and used, why would they not be prepared?
Going in a similar direction, congressional staff and their employers (for example) are exempt from “the mandates”. How many have a weekly prophylaxis regimen they have followed since possibly 2019? It would have flown under the radar as the supplies were stockpiled.
Let’s choose August 2019. In the US, the rest of 5eyes and the EU, absent a shortage of veterinary supply, which did not occur, ivermectin was under the radar. So was hydroxychloroquine. Zinc? Alphabetically it was just an item at the end of the list on the multivitamin label. IMO it could easily have been stockpiled in the years preceding 2019. By August it was being delivered. This stuff is dirt cheap and out of patent. Not worth a single blip on a financial radar screen.
And if anyone did notice, nothing an adequate number of dollars, a visit by some shady characters, and maybe a few “unrelated and untimely” accidents, suicide and “natural causes” deaths couldn’t correct.
Kary Mullis died rather suddenly/unexpectedly in August 2019. He the lead vocalist of the ” PCR?, it was never meant to diagnose anything, (by the way, I invented it)” choir. An unabashed critic of one A. Fauci for decades.
just sayin’
Spot on. Why release some deadly pathogen when you all you need to do is lie on TV?
Seems silly.
Isn’t Kazakhstan a main area on the Silk Road route?
Oh yeah. Look at it on the map. It’s H-U-G-E!
Ninth-largest country, by acreage.
Major lynchpin in the Belt and Road Initiative.
Borders with both Russia and China.
Big uranium deposits.
USA would love to eff them over.
Simultaneously with stirring up Ukraine.
The Kazakh told me China has been printing maps with Kazakhstan as a Chinese territory for years.
Interesting historical note: Genghis Khan was a Crusade. Chinese territory extended to Turkish borders after the Chinese overthrew Greek Bactria, Alexander’s descendents in Afghanistan, in the 1st Century.
Genghis sought to avenge the China’s defeat by the Islamics at the Yalu River in 740 AD. These beserkers were so psychotic they even scared the Mongols.
Also, Kazakhstan was the home of the Baikanour space works, and storage location of the USSR’s nuclear stockpiles. Iran bought quite a few of the old missiles.
I’m in the “China is in on it” crowd now.
State Kapitalism has poisoned their meagre waters, land and air.
Foreign-directed Communism cost them a generation with One Child policy.
What’s the historical solution to an untenable homeland?
Lebensraum.
Siberia is empty.
An emptied-out North America has room for 300 million restive Chinese, as it had for restive, overcrowded Europe.
No, the Chinese didn’t start this.
But, the American horse is ailing, being murdered, it has accomplished its job, meeting the same fate as the Russian horse. The riders have found a new horse, one technically proficient, yet hungry, and more obedient to diktat.
The Chinese, having been broken by the masters, was offered a deal they couldn’t refuse. They have no other choice.
So, who’s up for little fentanyl, some Wuhan tourists, and spies on student visas? As well as a butt-ton of industrial production, with CALPERS leading the flood of “parallel investment” in what was a 1950s bicycle economy. (Need I mention 2 sellouts in the governor’s mansion and 1000 front companies in unnoticed, backwater Arkansas?)
Russia is weak and nuclear, Russia they can deal with. Neocon America staging color revolutions around Eurasia’s borders? Oh he!! no.
They were partners before Nixon.
Even had India & Pakistan on board.
And Vladistovok had a Chinese name 130 years ago.
I’m sure Pfizer is already busy cranking out the “new” jabs.
Won’t take those either.
I saw a federal judge told the FDA they better get cracking on that FOIA request.
Somebody thought 75 years was a little too long? There’s a little bit of sanity in the judicial branch.
Yep. The slab jab is safe and effective, but we’re not going to tell you peasants what’s in it, how the trials went or what’s in the contracts we have with your masters until 2076.
You must be reminded that peasants do not have a “need to know”, since they are, well, peasants. And then there’s the chutzpah factor. Enough to make reasonable people’s blood boil.
According to our masters, we just have a “need to die”
Indeed. You could not make this shit up.
Safe and effective. We’ll tell you more decades from now.
Just trust us.
“slab jab”…I love it!
Someone pointed out that Pfizer tested,analyzed and recorded all that data in 3 months and 65 years to run it through a photocopiers seems to indicate that their heart isn’t in it.
It really is hard not to laugh,
Yeeaaahhhh!!!!! That was nice.
They were going to release 500 pages a month of a 450,000 page lie. Hence taking 75 years to release the lie.
Let’s see if this happens for real.
I really want to know if anyone has read this. Could it even be read in a lifetime?
I’m sure there is a Cliff Notes version somewhere.
Per Nancy Pee losi…”you’ve got to take the jab to find out what’s in the jab”
Cliff Notes…Get our free jab’s and die.
Lastman: I’m rather disappointed. I was looking forward to learning the truth in 2076 about the death shots and what Durham found out.
Q was gonna reveal it all, but he died after receiving his Trump-approved booster shot.
Qanon or Qschtik??
The way things are going, there’s no way I’ll make it to 115 to find out.
Best of luck to you Hereward on lasting that long.
75 years. LOL. Why bother, there’s already enough proof out there to start Nuremberg trials 2.0
This just got reversed, FYI.
“Aaron Siri just won another case against the FDA! They wanted 75 years to release the Pfizer data. Judge ruled it has to happen within this year!”
https://twitter.com/delbigtree/status/1479244708429934596
Aaron is a treasure. His substack is worth subscribing to.
What a relief to come here and be reassured that there are people with more influence than I have, who understand what is going on.
People still don’t get it, people who purportedly are in the information business still don’t.
Whoopi Goldberg “tests positive”. She is genuinely puzzled. She says she did everything she was supposed to do (complete compliance).
Isn’t that View show supposed to be journalism?
Whoopi also obviously still doesn’t get it, that Big Food/Big Medicine are lying to us about what a healthful diet consists of.
My parents and grandparents knew that too much starch would leave you hungry, undernourished, but sometimes fat.
They also knew breathing through some kind of barrier would not stop a virus.
Beryl, Whoopi is not the brightest knife in the draw, so it doesn’t surprise me. Anybody who calls themselves “Whoopi” is automatically ruling themselves out of Mensa membership. However, I suspect she represents most of the general public. I’m still convinced that most of the sheep don’t even know the official death toll of Wu flu or that the “vaccines” are not actually vaccines at all.
Sorry, “drawer”!
I was expecting a correction to the adjective.
Saw where Lisa Booth was offered the conservative seat at the View table then she refused to get jabbed and that was that.
My $ is on Whoopi gets it, along with a sizable payday.
And virtue-signaling brownie points.
careful with that “brownie” thing
Whoopi is pretending to be one of us dumbfucks in order to herd the dumbfucks who identify with her pretend confusion into the pen where they belong.
Celebrities, who the hell needs ’em?
True. She’s a horrible ‘comedian’ but she’s no dolt.
Good morning, ClusterFuckNation! Tantalizing optimism in today’s post, Mr K. An enjoyable read on this cold and snowy morning. Thanks for that!
“bear in mind that he had plenty of deputies and associates throughout the public health agencies carrying out that policy who deserve to spend some time in courtrooms.”
Right on! And precisely worded too. Yes, they certainly “deserve to spend some time in courtrooms.”
Problem is, that’s all they’ll get — time in courtrooms. They are every bit as guilty as their leaders. They belong in prison!
JT, a dose of optimism, for sure. I liked the shift towards a focus in the aftermath of all this. Glad to see Mr K circling back to coping with a disintegrating, crumbling order of things.
After optimistically leaving the c19 psyop Goliath for dead on the sand. Cocky and a bit reckless, but I like it. Builds up morale: “you got nothing, motherfuckers! What else you got?”
“speed-wobble” – “Lunacy is exhausting” – “the word racket defines the totality of Dr. Fauci’s career” were my favorite bits.
I enjoyed the drunken sophomoric Chinese Fire Drill.
Rachel Maddow? The Jackson Pollack-y slinger of prime bullshit, presented as “The News,” but in reality, legally-protected “entertainment opinion.”
There must be a whole lumber yard full of 2x4s somewhere with her name stenciled on them, waiting to be put into service swinging at her head by eager Tucker Carlson fans, building scaffolding, making a sacrificial teepees, you get the idea. If only…
Maybe the clown Adam Schiff will take her place? Or, perhaps the entire lying U.S. Govt/Bureaucratic establishment will take turns filling in her hysterical, stinky shoes on a random, rotating basis. They would probably get a pay raise for doing so!
Meanwhile Ray Epps and the Scaffold Commander walk among us, like Homo Erectus pretending to be Homo Sapiens. Red Hats don’t a conservative, make.
Who’s gonna prosecute these people?
The entire government apparatus is onboard with this plan worldwide…
That remains a big question. The scale of the corruption is incredible.
That said, there are some older videos where Schwab brags of the WEF having stakeholders in all areas of society, from business, to religion, to NGOs, to banks, etc.
Also interesting is to look at the billions of dollars Gates has pumped into media outlets and international medical boards and agencies.
I will give them a bit of credit: they are truly going for it all, and they have lots of mechanisms in place to keep the machine going.
Yes, they do. But the populace can always invoke the “Samson gambit”. Of course, that takes some real guts which is always in short supply.
Samson is looking a lot like an ant facing a rubbertree plant at the moment…
The only hopes are some kind of international action, or some kind of kinetic, popular based justice a la Ceausescu. At this stage, neither seem very likely, but time will tell.
Night Owl, but they’re making a fatal flaw trying to kill the system and then expecting the system to work good enough to build back better with them in charge.
IDK if that is the fatal flaw or not, but I agree it is a flaw.
I agree, Beej. There will be a show trial or two, but nothing satisfactory. Besides, the crimes are manifold and so over the top, as well as all-inclusive of tptb, that it’s gonna take a revolution. By then, the criminals will either be in deep hiding or already adjudicated by the mob.
No question that the governments are all in. No question that many of the citizens are all in as well.
The question is, how many of US are there?
Enough to outnumber them? I think there are, because they are trying so hard not to let us see.
There is a reason they are accelerating this program like crazy right now.
There are FAR more of us.
There will be less and less of us (approaching but not quite reaching zero) as vaxx mandates and passes take effect.
Cut off a person’s access to employment, money, food, electricity, heat – and see how long he stands firm. Make John and Jane Vaxxrefuser spend a couple weeks starving and freezing and see if they don’t go runnn’ outside when they hear the vaxx-van comin’ down the road.
Just a little pin prick
There’ll be no more oooos-tra-cism
But you may get terminally sick…
I don’t know what mixing a bunch of hungry, cold, unemployed people will have as a result.
Selco wrote something along the line of how, once a person in such a situation realizes they will die, their approach to situations changes. They will live differently and become more dangerous.
One could surmise a group of people with nothing left to lose who refuse subservience could become very dangerous. The next horizon in their lifetime might never come, and they accept the reality. At this point I’d go for “it’s all bets are off” time.
Some will likely choose the easy way and experience the result of conforming, although it might be guaranteed subservience and ultimately terminal.
Others will make a different choice. It might also be terminal, but not subservient.
80 years from now, if records still exist with people who can read them, some might be figuring out they are experiencing a crisis with a similar face from the past, just a different twist on the theme.
Yes, Black. That is what I have been saying since the start. The moment to push back is now. We have the numbers.
See my post w/video down thread on the ID infrastructure being rolled out in Israel. The big corps/WEF minions are going to push it everywhere if not stopped.
It is odd how they now have hard evidence that Trump attempted to call in The National Guard on Jan. 6th but Pelosi and Bowser refused.
Why are there only a handful of Republicans like Jim Jordan and Bates wanting to call Pelosi and Bowser to testify?
Too big to fail. Too big to prosecute. Who’ll stop the rain?
St Michael said to Lucifer, Quis ut Deus (Who is like God?) as he threw him into hell.
The Koran speaks of a warlike, mercantile civilization that was destroyed by a great sandstorm that last a day, a night, and another day. No sign of it remained.
Uh huh.
Joseph Smith has told the world that a great civilization existed in South America that was visited by Jesus Christ.
The Mormon Church has spent beaucoup de bucks trying to find evidence of this civilization.
No results.
Here goes! Muslim is the fastest growing religion in the world. Number two is Latter Day Saints.
Does that say something about the gullibility of the world’s population today?
BTW, both are religions based on the exercise of power.
Apparently the Mormon Church has never visited Sacsayhuaman, Ollantaytambo, or Tiahuanaco. Obvious evidence of a civilization capable of stonework that can’t be replicated by our current technically-proficient civilization. I don’t know the criteria for “great” but Andean civilization of ~1,000 to ~1,500 years ago had some pretty “awesome” accomplishments.
Whether Jesus ever visited them, well, it’s kinda hard to prove He ever visited anyone.
I have long considered Mormonism to be Islam for modern Americans.
Jesus Quispe Mamani is groundskeeper to this day in Tihuanaco, to answer your question.
Cooks a mean llama stew when he’s in the mood, and may bring out a bottle of Pisco if he likes you.
Martin Armstrong (somewhat paraphrased):
“What I noticed is that there are people who know what is going to happen. So our computer basically tracks the capital flows when these people start to move their money. THE COVID CRISIS REALLY STARTED WITH THE REPO CRISIS OF SEPTEMBER 2019.”
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/armstrong-in-the-media/interview-watch-martin-armstrong-expose-the-wef-and-great-reset/
(This part not too far in to the interview–ca. 4:00)
Yep, cue Michael Hudson on the repo “crisis.”
Bingo!
Dot connecting!
Remember that WEF document about pension funds that I posted in the prev. thread?
See Armstrong @ ca. 9:00.
Sorry to be repetitious, but this Martin Armstrong interview is a must-watch, esp. for the WEF-watchers here
A corrective to all those who deride Schwab as a Bond character and also deride those who take the Schwab project seriously. The WEF program aims, among other things, to end democracy.
Open your eyes! Schwab has ALREADY placed his indoctrinated cadres into pivotal roles who have gone far to accomplishing much of the WEF program—the foundational conditions, so to speak. Just listen to Trudeau and Macron openly enmerdant their citizens.
As Americans we must keep these sleepers out of our government, out of our institutions at all costs. This “creature” (cf. Creature of Jekyll Island) arose partially in Cambridge, Mass, at Harvard.
Speaking of The Creature from Jekyll Island, Griffin’s thesis is that the IMF, the World Bank, etc. are sleeper socialist orgs who long-term aim is to impose world socialism. I still don’t know what to make of this, although he cites plenty of sources regarding thepolitics and views of the Webbs, and John Maynard Keynes.
.
Speaking of Dr. Fauci, I have been talking about the strange behavior of some of our elected officials around viruses before,
For instance, the Zika virus, when a senator from New York got very, very concerned about a disease in Brazil, that was going to come to Florida.
Chuck Schumer and Florida. Doesn’t Florida have its own senators?
Anyway, the media was consumed by Zika for a time, pregnant women in Florida were made afraid of going outdoors, Bill Gates got involved, a baby with a pointed head was shown over and over on TV…
Then, nothing.
Here’s what I’ve been missing, and I was reminded by something a woman named Stacey Rudin wrote- the infamous Dr. Fauci was up to his neck in that episode as well.
Top Obama doc Fauci to Congress on Zika funding: ‘Act now’
Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top Obama administration doctor, urged Congress on Sunday to promptly agree to appropriate an additional roughly $2 billion to fight against Zika — the latest in the back and forth between the White House and GOP-led House about funding against the deadly virus.
“We have to act now,” Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told “Fox News Sunday.”
House Republican leaders have argued that the federal government has enough money now to fight the virus and that additional funding should come through the regular appropriations process this fall.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/top-obama-doc-fauci-to-congress-on-zika-funding-act-now
I remembered the event, but not the name of the fraudster working with Chuckie.
BTW Stacey is another one of the heroes who have been on top of the scamdemic from the start.
Fauci has a long history of fear-mongering. In the ’80s he was pushing the narrative that AIDS was easily transmittable through heterosexual intercourse, which turned out to be a very rare occurrence. It’s almost as if he’s been waiting decades for the right opportunity to step into the role of savior of a nation in the throws of a deadly epidemic.
Problem with Fauci is that he went from patients to patents. Much less contact with the smelly peasants and much more lucrative. However, it means that he has no experience of real life in general, let along real medical practice. I doubt the SoB could even administer an injection. Which is probably a good thing.
The problem with Fauci is Fauci.
He is a minion of the “money changers.”
The same “money changers” that Jesus flipped the table over on.
Why is that so hard for people to understand?
On a hunch, I wondered if Leana Wen, the CCP/WEF puppet and false flag favorite was in on that one. YEP: https://health.baltimorecity.gov/news/testimony/2016-06-02-dr-leana-wen-letter-zika-conference-committee-june-2-2016
They’ve been trying to get this pandemic hoax going for years.
Tried in 2009, Wodarg put a stop to it.
Tried in 2014, with Ebola. No go.
Looks like Zika was in 2016.
They were prepared to go all out in 2019. And they did.
Good catch.
I wonder if they’d have bothered with the covid if Trump had not been elected, or if they’d managed to take him out with their Russia hoax.
Yes.
“Covid” is/was not about getting rid of Trump. “Covid” is about getting rid of us.
In my opinion, it was necessary to have Trump in office as a wedge to divide the US population. Anti-Trumpers could be relied upon to be fervently pro-vaxx. Pro-Trumpers can be demonized as Nazi Typhoid Marys. Pro-Trumpers, mobilized by Trump’s “America First” lies can be counted on not to go along with the Great Reset and the Plandemic that is driving it – identify, isolate, liquidate.
I am right about there with you on that.
I call Trump the gateway drug. He set the stage for mass derangement. Useful tool.
I wondered why Clinton was removed and Trump allowed to ‘win’ in 2016. I’m sure he got the vast majority of the votes, but as we’ve seen, since 2000, that doesn’t mean much. They install who they want to install.
I bet the engineers of all this gamed it out and realized they could use the outrage on the left over a Trump win in a big way. And they did.
And the timing… covid19 hits a few months before Trump’s inevitable re-election?
Yeah… it was engineered from top to bottom.
Funny how Ivermectin was mentioned in the fight against Zika:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41429-020-0336-z
You mean the Zika virus, samples available for 499 Euros from two American firms quartered in the EU?
The one that was released as part of a “mosquito abatement experiment” two weeks before the Rio Summer Olympics?
3 counties on the northern edge of Rio were selected to receive infected mosquitos.
Who could ever have imagined that people flying in from all over the world might get bit and spread it? After all, microcephalic babies are a common side effect, right?

More workers required!
Remarkable.
Meanwhile, I drove my better half to work this morning and the same “help wanted” signs were in place and new ones up…and I live in a booming area.
Businesses looking for help are everything from small biz to big corp. and even gub.
Gub however, won’t hiring a white male. It is easier for them to find someone from china or afghanistan.
I’ve heard that a lot of the younger people are trying to get in with Amazon or another delivery service.
I also heard one reason is, you get a set schedule with those jobs.
I do know that many people who are trying to do something else with their lives, are drawn to that work, so the set schedule is probably true.
Think about the decline in the quality or intelligence requirements of all these service jobs.
Sure am glad we are promoting more college educated people.
Documented evidence of the almost total destruction of the US education system.
Like Cashiers that cannot make change without a machine to tell them.
My boy’s home from school and strolled into the Home Dewpot that he’s worked before and they were delighted to see him ; a sort of stroll in when you want but no more than thirty hours. He’d done a few 8 hour days before Christmas and thinks, when he’s back from a week skiing at Stowe tomorrow, that he’ll do two weeks of 3 and a half days before returning to his studies.
I recall when unskilled labor involved actual labor.
They must be hurting.
We’ve forgotten the quiet revolution of the 60s and 70s.
The women are going home.
They don’t want to be men anymore, the rat race got them nothing except for no future.
“… the madness probably has its roots in the slow-motion train wreck of our techno-industrial economy. The managerial class can surely sense it and see it coming, but they don’t have a clue what to do about it. So, in desperate need of some signifying ritual, they’re left performing a grand-scale Chinese fire drill like drunken sophomores of yore — a flurry of pointless, attention-seeking activity.”
inclined to agree that at elite levels there’s at least as much flailing as skillful masterminding going on… we’ll find out before too long…
it’s almost scarier, i think, maybe, to view great-reset activities as doomed to fail and incompetently conceived and inacted, rather than as ingeniously planned and likely to whip the masses with ease into some fiendishly ordered new system.
because that means nobody’s at the wheel and there’s not even much of a functioning wheel left anyway…
sometimes both sides of the political aisle sound similar to me lately…
“please let there be some order to all this! Let there be some competent authority out there somewhere (be it the enlightened wokester vax-fascists or the diabolical wef elites).”
maybe the truth is closer to – theres only disorder on all sides
gustafson, yes. Disorder on all sides. “the centre cannot hold”
It’s what happens when people who aren’t nearly as smart as they think they are allowed to take over.
Worse, they assume the right because they’re better than you and will do a better job–and they never, ever, ever learn.
The industrial economy powered by fossil fuels is starting to run out of gas, so to speak. The economy needs to start shedding the dead weight. A large population of the managerial aristocracy needs to be laid off, permanently.
This would appear in line with some of what Tainter described in “The Collapse of Complex Societies”.
They can then be retrained by tptb as serfs I mean farmers.
Holodomor 2.0
Kill the Amish!
The Holodomor farmers were largely Anabaptists from America imported by Tzarina Catherine the Great for their skill. She was our other great ally along with Lafayette and France.
We should start with 2/3rds of the dead weight inside The Beltway.
Gustaf: they might be in command or they might not. But history shows that even people who think they are in command of events are usually not. Look at August 1914. Every European leader saw the outbreak of war as a solution to their nation’s problems. Fast forward to 1918. Most of them were gone, and even the victors, Britain and France, were financially and socially exhausted, and had to step aside for the new superpower, the US. They are in command or they are not: but the results will be same. Total breakdown and chaos.
HtheW, spot on. Events take a life of their own.
My wife is toying with a job with a German multinational manufacturer and they openly say that their main concern for the next 5 years is redesigning their plants, systems and processes to operate in an increasingly unskilled environment.
Do they realize how much energy it will take to accomplish that?
5 years of retooling yields no profit.
Must be a Vanguard project…they are the only ones that I know of with a fiat printing press.
[…] they openly say that their main concern for the next 5 years is redesigning their plants, systems and processes to operate in an increasingly unskilled environment.
That’s been the goal of capitalism – and most corporations – at least since the Luddites smashed the machines in the early 19th Century.
I guess these days corporations want to get rid of the expensive managerial and technical staff, and just have the low-wage jobs left – because they are a lot cheaper than full-steam robot automation.
I had a colleague of mine die suddenly last weekend while playing hockey. He was 49, very fit, didn’t drink, played college baseball, etc. He had heart pains while playing hockey, so he drove to the hospital, but died on the way. I suspect fully vaxed because our firm has been paying people bonuses to take the jab. Too bad his survivors have no one to sue.
how many heart-attacks will the public ignore?
62%
https://www.abccolumbia.com/2021/12/31/cdc-62-of-americans-are-fully-vaccinated/
I read yesterday that only 35% got boosters, though. Which means those 62% won’t be considered ‘fully vaccinated’ for long if not already.
Good observation, Mary.
What is fully vaccinated, anyway. IMHO! it is two shots. The booster seems to be an adder.
As I have pointed out over and over, the antibody counts in two shot, fully vaxxed people is gone. Why is everyone so surprised that just as many fully Vaxxed folks are getting Omicron as unvaxxed.
Here goes, the vast majority of the population right now is effectively non-vaxxed.
Sure am glad Omicron is mild.
“Fully Vaxxed” will mean “Life-long Subscription”.
Oh and some muckety muck in Quebec just threatened their population with being locked out of everything if they don’t get the booster, and yep, there, the double-jabbed are now not considered fully vaxxed.
Compliance means they keep going further.
It is best to refrain from subscribing.
Based on the SCOTUS idiocy on display, it is a reaffirmation that ALL time and energy are best spent building out the localized New, not fighting the old.
GODSPEED!
Probably about as many as the CDC says is permissible. Seeing that they are not even watching, or publishing the incidence rates of mortality or even adverse effects, I doubt any action will be non-forthcoming.
millions?, until they too die? whats yr guess.
I saw a long line for FREE COVID TEST. Today.
It would be interesting to see how many under, say, 40 die suddenly in normal times in order to compare numbers. Did a lot of people die suddenly like this, but because we weren’t in a “pandemic”, they went unnoticed by the wider world? There have been a lot of comments too about the Indiana insurance boss talking about a significant rise in unclassifiable deaths in people of working age. I suspect we are staring at something pretty horrible here, but it would be great to hear from some of the experts on our side.
‘but it would be great to hear from some of the experts on our side.’
I very strongly agree, but unfortunately I have learned not to hope for these possible ‘experts’ to be heard. The suppression of Scientists, Doctors, and others is so extreme, it helps to explain why so many bloggers, start writing really crazy stuff. (or not so crazy !). It looks hopeless (though I hope it isn’t). It is nice to see JHK talking somewhat optimistically though. His keen insight and comments really help in this dark time we are in.
Yes!!!
The lack of information on which to base decisions is criminal, IMHO.
Unfortunately, the people in charge are ignoring, maybe suppressing the info. They are in charge, He who has the gold, makes the rules.
We are told by the anointed that the clot shot isn’t fully operational for a little while after it’s administered.
Accordingly, all deaths less than 28 days after are recorded as “unvaccinated”.
Almost certainly, of course, of Covid.
And 2 jabs w/out a booster is now ‘unvaccinated.’
40% elevated mortality in 18-64s according to the insurance industry.

notice he “doesn’t get” the cause.
Intrigued by your question, I went to the census bureau’s website and typed in the search engine “annual death rates in USA”.
Well, damned if I couldn’t find that info.
The closest thing I could find was ”Racial impacts on covid deaths”.
Really, Census Bureau? Only Woke statistics can be accessed?
Unbelievable. Well, these days, believable…
Driving oneself to the hospital in such a situation is a poor decision.
Played college baseball at 49? And I thought I spent too much time in school…
that was an odd statement. 30 years ago he was on the team, so that means he should live to 101?
Don’t do what your colleague did…if you are having chest pains after any type of exertion always call 911 or your local emergency number. I had a hockey teammate go into cardiac arrest in the locker room post-game. Ran to get the AED and it shocked him before the paramedics arrived and probably saved his life. He ended up having a few more good years but then drove home after hockey practice one night and dropped dead in his kitchen…
Now, this has me thinking…maybe just don’t play hockey after say 39?
James Howard: Another very tight, concise analysis of the current malaise and the various components thereof.
Kazakhstan = uranium deposits. Initial comments from various sites credited the triple letter cesspools resident here with these actions. A thinking person would look at proximity and motive. Might Russia desire control of the fast becoming priceless uranium? If, in fact, the MIC OR the last nazi initiated this as a “color” takeover, Vladimir thanks you!
Look up mass formation psychosis on google and they, now, show Joe “ the msm killer” Rogan. How nice to have a hard boy, mental and true ass kicking physical, carrying the fight forward. I can think of no one else, well Jocko, I’d want in this position.
The Wife ordered the coming spring planting trove of seeds. Expanding our potatoes, hot peppers, beans (even though we still have 8-10 jars left) and broccoli. Tomatoes, squash, cantaloupe, peas, grapes, zucchini and strawberries will stay the same size. All raised beds assisted by fresh cow manure from our neighbors 2000 acre spread w/black angus’.
Both she and I are +20 yrs RN’s. Her suturing looks as if it was done by putting the part under a sewing machine. I’ve triaged gunshot wounds, my own included, and as an OR nurse on weekend nights at UVA and MCV, seen just about every trauma a body can exhibit.
I can also put lead on target quite well, she not so much BUT don’t come too close.
All things occurring at present have occurred in prior societies, same basic shit but different external trappings. The human ape has a very small repertoire of actions within the sociopath community. As such, informed people -also known as historians- should prosper in the approaching melees. Nuff Said.
Others may have taken a less physically taxing alternative.

getsome, bravo. For the observations and for the early prep towards a good harvest. Get some cowpen panels and plastic sheeting, build a hoophouse & extend your season 2 months at least. Easy project. Wife & I put together a nice one in a couple of days.
Good luck!
There’s a picture going around, small children in some sort of bubble suit, someplace in Asia.
I hope it isn’t China, because every time the Chinese stage a ridiculous ‘intervention’, we copy it here without question.
Anyone remember the returning physician with Ebola, wearing the moon suit?
Anyone not recognize that the Ebola nuttery was a dress rehearsal?
A doctor in a moon suit, meanwhile an infected doctor wanders all over NYC without a care.
That wasn’t so long ago.
People’s antennae should have been up when the covidiocy started.
Beryl, Zika was an interesting exercise as well. It affected maybe 10 people over here in the US but the media and the research agencies went into a perfect cytokine storm and gorged on a flurry of emergency funding and fear of microencephalopathy. Then when the frenzy was done, it disappeared into the night not to be heard from again.
If one looked at that period, one would probably see Zeke becoming the number one boy’s name.
And Pinhead the number one old movie.
Ha! Great minds… I was talking about Ebola, above.
Good morning everyone. I love your writings, but this time I do not agree with some conclusions here. “The Powers That be” will never give up their power without a fight. Almost every single govt. has broken the Nuremberg Code, specially article 25 I believe. None of them are going to hang. Already, there is talk of doing away with it. LMAO. Evidently it takes about 80 years for all the shit to float to the top, hence the “Fourth Turning”. Another way of saying it is it’s time to flush the toilet. These people will never give up their power willingly lest they hang for their crimes. Problem is no one in this country really gives a shit, as far as I can tell. The only protest and riots I see are the ones being paid for by Soros and Company. We use to be the “Land of the Free, Home of the Brave”. What a fucking joke.
When I was young, my first cousin, who was also my best friend, was killed in Nam, one of the first advisers to do so. I was too young to enlist, so instead, I cut school often, hitchhiked to Berkeley and beat up as many anti-war protesters I could get my hands on. Yes, I drank the Kool Aid. Totally believed my president that we had to stop the spread of communism. That was just the start of the many many lies told to me by our govt. What I believe now after so many lies and so many years, is that my govt has never told me the truth about anything. Floride(deadly poison) in the water. Geoengineering our planet(Why? anybody ever ask?) Too many trees to see the forest. Too may lines drawn in sand, first little breeze and holy shit, no more line. We have now become the Land of the Woke, Home of the Scaredy-cat punk ass little bitchez……Still “Laughing My Ass Off”.
The Nuremberg Code (1947)
Permissible Medical Experiments
The great weight of the evidence before us to effect that certain types of medical experiments on human beings, when kept within reasonably well-defined bounds, conform to the ethics of the medical profession generally. The protagonists of the practice of human experimentation justify their views on the basis that such experiments yield results for the good of society that are unprocurable by other methods or means of study. All agree, however, that certain basic principles must be observed in order to satisfy moral, ethical and legal concepts:
The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.
The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.
The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.
The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results justify the performance of the experiment.
The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.
No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.
The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.
Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability or death.
The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.
During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.
During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him, that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.
For more information see Nuremberg Doctor’s Trial, BMJ 1996;313(7070):1445-75.
It couldn’t be clearer that the principles are being violated. That’s why all over Twatter they have “fact checkers” hired by Gates trying to claim the opposite.
You are just noting what the main struggle has been forever in this country, how much power the Federal government has vs. the states vs, the people. Hamilton and Jefferson argued it in the cabinet of Washington and the press of the time. Power has been funneling toward the Feds ever since the CW. Lincoln was a hero for saving the Union, but the consolidation of Federal power has been going on ever since. FDR, being enabled by the Depression and WW2, was a great acceleration of the rise of the Deep State. The almost total victory of the Deep State was shown by the successful repudiation of Trump. Nails continue to be driven into the coffin with the Jan.6 nonsense.

Good synopsis of the country’s evolution from a Republic in 1789 to a Mob Democracy in 2021.
Plato brilliantly explained why democracy is one of the worst forms of government ever devised. All democracies degenerate into hot messes where great masses of greedy, indolent, dolts elect corrupt mediocrities to office whose mandate is to rip-off society”s producers and redistribute the loot to the lazy, shiftless, conniving, grifters.
Inevitably, every democracy collapses due to loose fiscal policy, monetary debasement, and gross incompetence of the political class.
The Founding Fathers were well aware of this risk and they tried their best to build safeguards into our Constitution, but the wrecking crews commenced work on tearing them apart as early as 1803 when the Supremes made the first unwarranted grab for unconstitutional power with the Marburg vs. Madison decision.
We are lucky that Liberty has not yet been completely extinguished in America, although I would venture that none of the Founders would think we are very free today in comparison to the levels of freedom that were enjoyed by citizens of this country two centuries ago. We are like the frogs in the proverbial boiling pot. It keeps getting warmer but it never occurs to most people that TPTB just keep turning up the burner beneath them.
Marbury. Stupid spell checker changed it to Marburg.
JohnAZ,
The Radical Republicans of the time (19th century Progressives) deified Lincoln it’s true but he was no hero to half this country, which was conquered & laid waste by the other half (actually a small fraction of the other half which mobilized the rest of that industrial half against the Southern nation). I won’t call the whole a nation because it’s never been a nation.
“The Powers That be” will never give up their power without a fight. Almost every single govt. has broken the Nuremberg Code, specially article 25 I believe. None of them are going to hang. Already, there is talk of doing away with it.”
I’m in total agreement with what you said here. The Nuremberg trials were conducted by reasonibly-moral governments who punished a carefully selected group of war criminals for their disgusting crimes against humanity.
Today, there don’t appear to be any remaining, reasonibly-moral governments willing to conduct the necessary trials required to punish the psychopaths who are currently committing massive, deadly crimes against humanity on a global scale. Rapidly increasing social, economic and political upheavals will make today’s problems seem insignificant by comparison.
Unfortunately for America, Josef Mengele has been replaced by a new Angel Of Death who operates with total governmental support as he continues to conduct inhumane medical experiments on his millions of pharmaceutical prisoners. Sadly, this triple and quadruple-vax madman has now boosted his deadly bio weapon plague to the extent that it now includes our children.
certainly Reiner Füellmich is trying to find some venue to try crimes against humanity and murder charges for Anthony Fauci, Drosden, Bill Gates and another whose name is eluding me.
Based on all the evidence they have collected, but especially on what Dr Sam White has brought to light out of the official data no less. https://odysee.com/Reiner-Fuellmich-and-Dr.-Sam-White—There-is-no-immunity-for-coordinated-effort-to-murder5—Mp4-Video–Mp4-720p-:60fcd0e48f510ad0c4837fcaa4c662ca19ea942f
Odysee links are notorious for breaking so just search Reiner Füelmich with Sam White if it doesn’t work.
Please get the jab and every booster you can.
beat up as many anti-war protesters I could get my hands on.

Depends on which anti-war protestors got hammered. Some were bona fide communist pieces of shit. They deserved a pounding.
Mike Yeadon is on the Corona-Ausschuss right now and is on fire.

Thank you! Watching now.
Watched it to the end – now need to go back to see the beginning.
Incredible.
The troll should be made to sit through this with his eyes pinned open, like in Clockwork Orange.
His brain would short-circuit. He’s firmly culted.

Surprise Surprise Robert Malone is pushing a new vaccine: https://americanyellowvest.wpcomstaging.com/2022/01/06/a-new-vaccine-brought-to-you-by-robert-malone/
I don’t see that as “pushing”. It sounds like he’s talking about a product that will go through the normal number of trials.
That was my take. “traditional” vaccine” and “rigorous” were terms used.
I’m not jumping to a conclusion based on a sound bite.
The shots in Australia are going down to three month intervals. The shots that don’t work.
Fits with the ‘advocacy’ theory: seems Aussies didn’t get so many of the lethal shots – possibly a high percentage of placebos, so are advocates for the vaxxes.
Enter boosters, stage left, to top up a willing population.
Look on the bright side – you-know-who will soon have had half a dozen shots. Their government has ordered enough of the vaxxes (developed for a strain of the virus that doesn’t exist anywhere) to give every Aussie 10 boosters.
Are you suggesting a “bait & switch” with lots of early-on placebo shots to soften up the perception in time to introduce “the boosters” containing various manner of nasty stuff?
Yes, but it’s not my perception. It was voiced by Mike Yeadon – don’t know it he was the first. John O’Looney mentioned it too, but I don’t know whose speculation it was initially.
It makes perfect sense. You need to watch that sitting of the Corona Investigative Committee that Night Owl linked to. The livestream is over now, so you can see it on the website archive as Sitting 86 (‘The fog is lifting’). Really, it’s required viewing if you want to know how they’re doing this.
As has been pointed out, if you want to lower the population this way, you can’t kill everyone at once or it would be too obvious.
Watched a portion, the quality was poor and the audio was out of sync a lot of the time.
I watched it all. Quality was good and audio was in sync throughout.
GA, did Yeadon mention the ‘bad batches’ issue? That’s an area that needs more of a spotlight on it. sorry, I don’t have time to watch it.
linked above, the organised bad batches talk is with Dr Sam White found here https://odysee.com/Reiner-Fuellmich-and-Dr.-Sam-White—There-is-no-immunity-for-coordinated-effort-to-murder5—Mp4-Video–Mp4-720p-:60fcd0e48f510ad0c4837fcaa4c662ca19ea942f and other places of course
I’ll try it again, stormy weather can be an issue with connections around here.
TD
The session with Yeadon (I’ve seen the last half hour or so and am working my way through the whole session from the beginning (it’s over 6 hours) so need to see the start of Yeadon’s interview, which I will get to.
But the Yeadon chunk I saw is an expansion of Wolfgang Wodarg’s piece in the Sam White session. The graphs are incontrovertible (and are visibly clearer in this presentation), showing the chronological pattern of the separate rollout of the lethal batches from Moderna, Pfizer and Janssen. AZ isn’t available in the US, so it’s annoying that there’s no evidence for them. The UK Yellow Card system doesn’t allow for the tracing of batch numbers, as far as I know.
Ernst Wolff also speaks in this session (for about 40 mins), as does Dr Lee Merritt, whose contribution is really worth watching too.
I have technical difficulties with the videos in the evening, so will watch the rest tomorrow. The footage is also available divided into sections – I saw Wolff and Merritt in separate videos, but I’m having problems just now – must be my internet connection.
Sorry that first para is incomplete – family arrived and I mucked it up! You get the gist, anyway. I’d advise watching it when you have time – also the Lee Merritt section.
John O’Looney may have been almost killed in hospital recently. I guess he narrowly escaped.
Wouldn’t surprise me, Mary. Lots of articles being planted about how So-and-So died in hospital saying if only I’d got the vaxx.
One yesterday was supposed to have said he’d get it ASAP when he got out (he died). They’re such grotesque liars they don’t even mention that civid recoverers don’t need to be vaxxed, possibly ever.
Covid, not civid 🙂
GA
The entire future of the mRNA approach of future medical development is at risk right now. You have not seen anything yet.
We may soon see what happens when booster after booster is given to people, as each inflammation episode builds on the inflammation history.
IMHO, each evolution will take out its % of marginal folks, folks who just need a trigger to set off problems. Do I think we will know what happens with each evolution, we have not even heard what has happened with episode one.
I agree, it’s a salami-slicing exercise, with plausible deniability (until this evidence from the analysts of the VAERS data). People are dying in dribs and drabs with no obvious connection to the vaccines.
From my own anecdotal experience:
(1) husband’s collapse a week after the booster;
(2) McCullough says the covid recovered are at 4 times the risk of adverse effects compared to people who haven’t had covid: friend of mine had covid in 2020, got vaxxed spring 2021; had heart attack in June.
(3) getting my bathroom done by a guy whose father is really ill – had sepsis. Vaxx increases risk of sepsis by lowering immune system function;
(4) today lunch with friend who told me about another friend with shingles. Told hubby, who said there’s a lot of shingles about just now – also an effect of the disabling the immune system so that latent bugs like herpes ‘break through’ more often.
All anecdotal, but if you looked out your window in Germany and saw trains full of rounded-up people going to who knows where, that’s anecdotal too, until it becomes history.
The thing is there are no VAERS reports done for the shingles, sepsis, collapsed husbands, friends with heart attacks, unless someone joins the dots. Most people, including the docs, aren’t joining the dots. My husband didn’t think anything of the fact that there’s a lot of shingles around just now. To him it’s just an observation without a question mark attached.
And you can’t prove causality (unless someone drops dead within a day or two of the vaxx) so they’ve played a blinder.
GA, Interesting you mention shingles. My experience with covid in March 2020, I was around people who had it but I never got covid or even a cold. But then very oddly, I got shingles for one terrible week. Chris Martenson reports the same odd thing.
JohnAZ: glad you saw the light, bro! Hope you are doing well healthwise too (I remember you mentioning some serious issues).
Thanks.
At my age, avoidance of any inflammation event is important.
Maintain those telomeres.
I will not be joining any adolescent, “let’s all get Omicron” Parties any time soon.
John, have you thought about taking prophylactic ivermectin over the winter?
I got some from the internet (at considerable expense!) in case any of my family got covid (that was before my daughters refused to be persuaded not to get vaxxed). I’m wondering, given I also will have a depleted immune system, if it would be sensible to take them prophylactically for a few months.
Giving consideration to prophylaxis through to the Spring at least. Not quite there, mostly because I take a number of supplements which have worked not only so far, but before this segment began 2+ years ago.
Part is the decision which route to take among a number of choices. What I currently do meet/exceeds Zelenko’s OTC polypill mix, for example. It’s somewhat of a cost/benefit situation. The cost is not necessarily measured in currency.
Taking supplements requires some research. I’ve been in Asian pharmacies where they have large letter signs in English cautioning the items for sale are not necessarily without risk.
Uptake is an issue. For example, ivermectin taken with a meal moves slower through the GI tract, increasing potential absorption vs on an empty stomach were it moves along faster.
If you get folks used to getting popped with booster shots every three months it will eventually be child’s play to slip in the “kill shot” during one of these intervals…….the shot that slowly kills you over the course of a year or two. By the time anyone notices it will be too late for most. Only the unvaxxed vaccine skeptics would be spared, which is why FORCED JABS through mandates are being pushed. Once you get one or two jabs into people, all resistance from them is liable to collapse. Tgen you give them the kill shot as well.
The interval was dropped to four months on 4 January.
Government Link
We can see the powers that be tried to kill a few birds with a single stone. The lockdowns rationed energy, whether done consciously or subconsciously. The rest of this crap was an attempt at full-spectrum dominance over the public. They want everything digitized, literally down to the last tomato for the purpose of “increased tracking efficiency” (their words, not mine). Along with the tomatoes, we also must be digitized to receive central bank digital currency and to pay taxes on it based on social credit scores. This is not a conspiracy theory but rather openly discussed. If the magic virus goes away, they will try something else, maybe with even more desperation and myoclonal jerking. The green energy ‘revolution’ seems to be fading with less controversy, but the scamdemic is too near and dear to their hearts. They will not release it easily.
TaxDonkey: Agreed. They are playing for all the marbles and will never, ever give up. And how can it be a conspiracy theory when all we do is quote their own words? I don’t see the sheep ever waking up. They love their phones too much, and of course, QR codes are so convenient!
We have to give up this idea of egalitarianism. Most people are sheep by nature and thus always will be, thus Democracy is contraindicated.
We need to be ruled by an Aristocracy of Talent as Jefferson said. And this will come largely from a genetic Aristocracy since IQ is passed down via genetics.
Sorry!
Jarek: I agree about the limitations of democracy. Here in Switzerland, we have a great system of direct democracy via our referenda. Great, that is, until, the 60% of sheep vote to deprive the other 40% of us of our basic rights. However, with human nature being what it is, an Aristocracy of Talent will also degrade eventually into a clownshow. Every form of government has a limited life cycle.
If duration alone is our criteria, then a God King or Pharaoh system is best. The learned don’t believe per se, but pay him outward reverence.
If the King has good advisors and is willing to listen to them, it can be a good system.
And this will come largely from a genetic Aristocracy since IQ is passed down via genetics.
LOL … inbreeding and mental lunacy is what you get! Look at the English and European aristocracies, for example.
On this I am in total agreement. Aristocracy is far superior to Democracy. Democracy is for chumps and republics are easily subverted by democratic elections. The best form of government would be an Arisocratic Republic led by an enlightened class of propertied men of high character and education heavily leavened with a good dose of noblesse oblige.
This was essentially what the leaders of the late, great Southern Confederacy were aiming for but. It is a damn shame that the wrong side won that war. The entire country is now far worse off for it.
I’d much rather be living in the Confederate States of America today than in this deracinated, mongrelized, savage, multikulti, communistic mess that is the USA in the 21st century.
But, who knows, if the wokism in Washington continues unabated, the South may yet rise again and assume it’s proper place in the world as a free and independent country.
The fracturing of the Soviet Inion and Yugoslavia provide contemporary examples of multiethnic states that could not hold it together. The USA will soon be added to that list, and several smaller nations will emerge from the smoking rubble, with the South being the most obvious one. Texas might be another, seeing how it is large enough and wealthy enough to go it alone, but I would expect it to be closely aligned with a re-emergent Southern Confederacy.
The core of the USSR, Russia, survived, despite the West’s overt and covert pressures.
Today, I could argue that Russia is, perhaps, the most “independent” nation in the world.
Not the greatest living standard, by conventional, material measures. Certainly not the best weather.
But perhaps the most self-sufficient.
You can’t miss what you’ve never had. I’d say, for the average Russian, today is peak Russia.
America is not self-sufficient, hence the need for our Imperial Troopers throughout the world. The USA needs finished goods, raw materials, energy, and… financing to keep going.
China is not self-sufficient, the CCP needs the world as much as the world needs China’s wares.
If America can survive the turbulence and come out the other end like Russia did, that would be a very good outcome.
If America can survive the turbulence and come out the other end like Russia did, that would be a very good outcome.
But but …”the American way of life is not negotiable” … how would it survive without all the doo-dads from China? And all the oil imported every day?
Would the good people of Peoria Illinois wish to live like the average Russian prole?
The best form of government would be an Arisocratic Republic led by an enlightened class of propertied men of high character and education heavily leavened with a good dose of noblesse oblige.
LOL Good luck with that! It’s darn hard to even find ten good men to run the local country club in most places – before it breaks into squabbles, fights, factions, and disharmony.
Give people a little bit of power and they go feral – always.
In fact Trump always reminds me of the second-hand car dealer in white shoes who gets to be golf club president by being a blowhard, and then turns the place to shit.
We all know such people … might even be related to some.
They are playing for all the marbles
They have already won all the marbles, the demise of Trump was the end of resistance.
JAZ, history just keeps rolling. You talk like the story is over. It’s not. Trump 2.0 is up next with someone other than Trump and this story is going to get even more interesting. They only won all the marbles assuming this system stays intact. The longer term picture suggests globalism is crumbling, while nationalism, populism and forced localism will be on the rise. We’re reaching the Seneca cliff of energy production and this roller coaster ride will be bumpy for everyone, even the the globalists

I am overwhelmed by the total institutional takeover of America by the Liberal Deep State. Yes, I do feel that the battle is lost in the US. Yes, things will go on, but centered on China?, Russia?, the UN?
Or maybe Greta?
JAZ, well if you think about peak oil for example, at the top is the moment of most production and consumption right before taking a dive. Likewise, one can imagine peak globalist control, where they have apparent full-spectrum dominance. However one of the consequences of this complete institutional capture is that those same institutions have never performed worse nor have they ever enjoyed less confidence of the populace. This is likely the peak global moment before it all splinters into a bunch of pieces.
They think they won all the marbles; in reality, they’ve lost their marbles. In both senses of the word. This ain’t over until it’s over.
+100
echo
yep, they’re nowhere near as smart as they think they are.
[…] the demise of Trump was the end of resistance.
I prefer to think of it as a triumph of democracy. Trump lost an election by a wide margin – too many people saw him for what he was – an accidental president who wasn’t fit for purpose.
The lockdowns rationed energy, whether done consciously or subconsciously. The rest of this crap was an attempt at full-spectrum dominance over the public.
I still believe that politicians in democracies are scared of elections and voters. I think for most politicians in most places, the pandemic has been a serious threat – governments get punished if the economy goes bad, and nobody cares that energy use and emissions are down.
Even my modest local fruit & veg market has decent systems for tracking what they buy and what they sell – which is a good thing … increasing their efficiency, and income, and reducing waste.
Politicians want a “return to normalcy”, not dominion over the masses – they know they’re on a hiding to nothing by either being too strict or too slack.

You can’t lose some little girl you ain’t never had”
The managerial class is a product of the Liberal “everyone has to have a college education” push.
The result is do you put college grads on the assembly line? Middle level management jobs are the useless jobs that result.
The first jobs to go on RIFs are middle level management.
Story time.
In the hospital I worked for here, one floor manager managed to convince upper management that she needed an assistant to do the menial tasks she did not want to do. Soon, once the precedence was set, all the floor managers had their assistants. Six months later, corporate directed a cost reduction to each of the hospital CEOs. In a very smooth move, the hospital, in a two hour bloodbath, walked all the original floor managers out the door. The hospital never blinked.
Watch out for one on one managerial structures, hard times come, one is leaving.
That is what happens when one gets lazy and stupid.
People forget for the most part that it is a dog eat dog world.
Aha!
Competition!
You trust a man (or is it a woman) who has a last name as their first name?
Jarek: I noticed that too. Bizarre. My favorite from way back was McGeorge Bundy. Who the F calls their kid that? Never either trust any man or woman with a double barreled name.
Non-Americans can also be amused (and bemused) by the propensity of Americans to quote a name in full – James Howard Kunstler, or Frank Lloyd Wright, for example, or just as common, the middle initial … Harry S. Truman.
The capital of Australia (Canberra) has an attractive lake in its centre – it was named after the city’s American designer, Walter Burley Griffin. It’s called Lake Burley Griffin – since it was assumed (wrongly) that he had a double surname.
seems like the president of Kazakhstan has implemented the “we don’t negotiate with terrorists” perspective.
“I have given orders to law enforcement agencies and the army to shoot to kill without warning.”
note to the managerial class:
bend over grasp yourself firmly by the knees and kiss your ass goodbye

Hmm. Read the oil price going over $8 a barrel, was partially caused by problems in Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan in on fire. Russia has sent in troops “at the invitation of the Kazakh government.”
Yeah, it used to have SSR behind its name.
Putin is not stupid, Biden is.
Putin will grab all these former SSRs as they go belly up and bail them out, reinstituting the USSR without firing a shot.
A small force was requested by the Kazakh govt. but it looks like an entire Russian armored division is rolling in. Plus air support.
Shoot to kill orders have been issued to Kazakh security forces. Believe it or not this is all over oil.
Kazakhstan Is also home to the Baikonur Cosmodrome – which is central to Russia’s space program. It is a major national defense asset. No way Putin’s going to allow ANYONE to jeapordize Russia’s access to that facility.
$80 dollars a barrel, OMG.
Jarek, there is more to poverty than lack of currency,
McKinley Morganfield – Muddy Waters
I have a link here to an analysis of Dr. Scott Atlas’ book, which I have not read, except for a few small excerpts.
As with the review I read by Jeffrey Tucker, you come away with a certain amount of sympathy for President Trump’s position. This does not mean that he didn’t make a mess of things or do things no one should ever do.
The funny/not funny thing is, his enemies criticize him even though the things he did wrong are exactly the things they claim to believe are the right things to do.
“Several months into this debacle, a radical idea dawned upon the President. What if he could find and promote a scientist, boasting impeccable credentials, willing to follow scientific best practices and the actual data? Might that scientist actually prevail? Might the data confirm the President’s instincts—driven as they were by common sense rather than scientific training?
President Trump reached across the country to Stanford’s Dr. Scott Atlas. In A Plague on Our House, Dr. Atlas provides the details confirming that things were indeed as bad as they appeared to be. When President Trump staffed his White House Task Force and handed the reins to Vice President Pence, he essentially cut himself out of the equation. The Task Force’s two leading bureaucrats immediately seized decision-making authority; none of their nominal superiors were either willing or able to reclaim it. From early on, the press and much of the American public embraced the ubiquitous Dr. Fauci, while most governors deferred to the Task Force’s liaison to the states, Dr. Birx. A third key bureaucrat, CDC Director Redfield, supported their diktats while maintaining a (marginally) lower profile. No one else much mattered.”
https://bda1776.substack.com/p/atlas-doesnt-want-to-shrug?r=6a3x3&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
One thing the writer leaves out is the pernicious influence of Jared, who seems to have interfered with Dr. Atlas every bit as much as Pence’s people did.
I’m coming more and more toward the conclusion that the vice president was not the passive, inept player in this debacle that he initially appeared to be.
Though the blame ultimately goes to the president, Pence is the reason a shady character like Fauci ended up in charge of that task force, and stayed there.
The president says that he couldn’t fire Fauci because the media wouldn’t like it.
Who told him that?
Notice the people involved also are people who stabbed him in the back in other ways.
Trump “couldn’t fire Fauci because the media wouldn’t like it.” Now there’s a man with a spine of steel. (Who voted for him after all? The media?)
Please Mr. Trump, come back and save us again!
That answer, in the interview with Candace Owens, had some people wondering what the real reason was.
That one did not make sense.
Trump was far too afraid of the legacy news media. DeSantis seems to have much more skill in dealing with those public nuisances.
Jarek, just to be clear that is a cutural and literary allusion. Stay in the shallow end of the pool.
Remember Stringfellow Barr, editor of the great books?
If your name is Morganfield McKinley, you may – and to your detriment.
Speaking of crumbling narratives, kids can have strokes too. Yeah, completely normal, happens all the time
https://www.achievingbeyondbraininjury.com/post/pediatric-stroke-awareness-on-the-road
if kids can suddenly get paralyzing spinal lesions in never before seen numbers because of a virus (that just apoears out of the ether?)… namely, polio in the early 20th
then why can’t they die from inexplicable sudden strokes in never-before-seen ways?
do you distrust your civilization’s entire medical field or something?
Well, the surgical abilities of Western medicine are still beyond any capabilities we’ve ever seen in human history. For how much longer, I don’t know. Other than that though, I think Big Pharma and the insurance industry has corrupted a huge percent of the medical-industrial complex.

Has Covid vaccine efficacy turned negative?
Data from highly vaccinated countries suggests strongly that the answer is yes; vaccinated people are at higher risk of infection from Omicron.
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/has-covid-vaccine-efficacy-turned
Again, the Highly vaxxed countries are not!
Simple as that!
Fully vaxxed means two shots!
The vast majority of two shot people got them in early 2021. Their antibodies are gone!
Unvaxxed = Fully vaxxed.
Only 35% of “fully vaxxed” have gotten boosters.
Simple arithmetic.
Bottom line, the Vaxx program is damn near worthless.
This does not include the potential effects of additional boosters on screwing up the immune system.
The last sentences are unexplored as of now.
READ IT AND WEEP.
Fully vaccinated mid November and I have covid right now.
At the moment I am coughing up blood and gunk.
I can say without a doubt the vaccine did nothing for me.
benr, sounds alarming! Are you medicating with anything useful? I do hope you’ll feel better soon!
Yeah, all the over-the-counter stuff the cough syrup seems to work the best.
It’s just annoying as hell because I know I will be coughing like this for months.
Blood and gunk?
Have you gotten tested for TB?
Drink a LOT of water to dilute the gunk and get it out of your lungs.
Eat some liver.
Benr selenium 2 a day to cough that phlegm up!
Sorry to hear it. Good news is probably Omicron, bad news it is a pain anyway.
Stay away from ER as long as you can.
Get well fast!
Sounds awful, benr. Did they make you get vaxxed for work? I think I remember you saying something earlier about the pressure.
Hope you feel better soon.
Yes, I left the place of employment after 18 years over bad pay, terrible management and the vaccine requirement.
The new company also required the vaccine, but they paid so well I just sucked it up.
If four rounds of anthrax vaccine did not kill me one round of this probably won’t either.
Kick that virus’ ass, benr.
“I can say without a doubt the vaccine did nothing for me.”
Can you say that it has done nothing to you?
So sad, he was forced to get jabbed for work.
Made me miserable for two weeks.
Lots of aches and pains.
I still stick to the position that vaccination (with or without a third shot) decreases your chances of being hospitalised, requiring ICU, or of dying. This is particularly true of the delta variant – but also the omicron.
Plenty of data to show that proportionally, the unvaccinated are far more likely to become serious unwell, or to die from Covid-19.
Waning vaccine effectiveness in the face of omicron’s transmissibility seems pretty clear though – but that’s harder to get data on, since it’s hard to prove the negative.
stick all you want. doesn’t mean anything because it doesn’t match reality.
Sort of the theme of this blog.
You can’t prove a negative.
You should read this article, so you understand what you’re doing, with a side of crisp chardonnay.
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/covid-policy-and-the-topology-of
Utter nonsense. The vaccines don’t prevent infection and they don’t prevent transmission.
Now we watch the usual suspects trotting out the completely unprovable assertion that taking the jabs lowers the risk of death or makes the symptoms less severe.
What horseshit.
One cannot prove a negative and yet this is the illogical swill we are expected to swallow.
Not buying it and I never will. I remain unjabbed, healthy, and happy. If I ever do contract Omicron I do not expect to be any more indisposed by it than I would be from catching the common cold.
I am so over COVID. I just wish fools like ianw would get over it too. This mass formation psychosis is really fucking up life for billions of people, so just STOP IT, already. We are sick of you COVID hypochondriacs!

“What you’re actually seeing in the rhetorical hoo-ha over the January Sixth capitol riot is the main cattle-prod driving mob madness”
Speaking of cattle, all-hat-and-no-cattle, Lyin’ Ted Cruz was apparently busy calling the dimwitted victims of FBI entrapment “terrorists.”
He then went on a media outlet and clarified his remarks by saying he believes ANYONE who attacks police are terrorists.
Thanks Ted.
Now, you and your Goldman Sachs spouse may have many people in Texas and on the right fooled, but you don’t have everyone fooled.
You’re a two-bit character actor, and you play your part stoking division and dissent like the trained bought and paid for lap dog that you are.
Many conservatives woke up to the fact that the GOP of the Bush’s and the Cheney’s and the neocons was not their party.
They voted most of them out.
But did they pay attention to who was ushered in to take their place?
And who pushed them there?
What’s Lyin’ Ted’s angle?
He’s got one all right
He wants to be the first premiere of the North American Union.
His Canadian/American/Hispanic heritage makes him uniquely qualified to hold this position.
LOL, why anyone holds these people up as ‘heros’ is beyond me. My friend told me that Tucker Carlson got up in his grill about this and didn’t let him back down.
Indeed he did. Tucker was merciless. I’ve never seen Cruz so nervous. Tucker took old Lyin’ Ted to the woodshed and wore his ass out. It was very entertaining to watch. It ain’t everyday you get to see a real patriot tell a sitting U.S. Senator that he’s a lying S.O.B three times to his face in the course of 5 minutes.
For any mobile calif native, over the years one can observe the constant shifting and rearrangement of agricultural production.
So too in manufacturing, services, entertainment, etc: business enterprises are in a constant state of flux, developing new products and markets, adjusting employment levels and skills, etc
But what segment of society is essentially moribund, unable to rapidly adjust to changing factors, wed to cherished ideals which were themselves just a product of intense propaganda of an earlier time and place that necessitated deep programming and repitition?
How does one manage such a state of affairs with so many squawking about civil rights, agency, self determination and so on? I mean, take a look at this site for so many great examples.
To wit: I was born thru no choice of my own, but I’m special and demand recognition and respect!
It’s a tremendous challenge to anticipate the future, to lay out the building blocks of change, to gain control of critical institutions, launch the program and manage and adjust to real time events on the field of battle.
Let’s take Australia for example. Problem one are entitled aggressive westerners who lucked into a bonanza of surplus resources. Expectations became embedded, with a broad set of assumed entitlements.
The issue for thinkers is what happens when the party is over. Think the mob will go home quietly or riot in the streets? Now throw in nukes…
Ok, look at how many years it took to set the table. First, have the idiot sheep voluntarily give up their arms. Then brainwash them to allow foreigners to gain govt power. Then introduce measures to control and curtail individual movement. Lastly, introduce a series of kill shots while flooding the country with waves of “new citizens”.
See how it works? Recognize the genius? Like the farmers in the central valley who shifted from cotton to almonds, before long You are in control of an entirely different population, one more productive, more amenable to direction, one less resistant to demands and agitation.
For a smart crowd, I’m always a little dismayed that commenters tend to fall back into personal worrisome anecdotes, or make some ego inflated claims about future independence.
No one except Jarek seems to really look at the situation from an abstract strategic perspective. It’s abundantly clear what’s happening, why it’s happening and what the downside is if recalcitrant euros can’t be elimated.
They conquered the world, claimed dominion over the lands, and will fight – with nukes – to the bitter end.

Like the #MyPillowGuy, they’ll just keep pushing the date of the reckoning – the apocalypse – further and further into the future. That’s the thing about conspiracy theorists … they never admit that they failed to predict stuff, they just change the narrative, attack all their critics, and plough on. It’s a form of OCD or Asperger’s, I expect.
The real doozy at this is the naturalnews dude … he’s quite hysterical, always wrong, and should stick to flogging his pills and potions.
You should know about ALWAYS BEING WRONG.
Everything you post is from clown world.
Vis-a-vis that changing the narrative thingie, isn’t that a pretty apt description of what the Covid religious fanatics have been doing since the “vaccines” made their appearance?
The mRNA specials were going to:
a. end the pandemic
which when confronted by reality, morphed into the slightly less ambitious:
b. prevent transmission of the virus
which when confronted by the second dose of reality, became the even less ambitious:
c. prevent severe illness
The fact that Covid for the vast majority of people is already not a severe illness aside, the next iteration of the narrative almost certainly will head in the direction of:
d. but mRNA vaccines have electrolytes.
The stats are not on your side – in the US and just about everywhere else, the unvaccinated suffer far more – hospitalisation, ICU treatment, and death.
Vaccinated or unvaccinated is an irrelevant metric. Almost all negative outcomes are among the old, the sick, and particularly in the US, the fat, pretty much like with every disease that has ever existed.
Most decently healthy people, vaxxed or unvaxxed, will experience mild disease, if they contract Covid at all. A medical intervention with no long-term safety profile has to deliver significantly more than the placebo to make it worth even a small risk.
@ianw
Bullshit!
My wife is unvaxxed and we both got the crud!
She was over it in four days while I am still coughing up a lung as a “fully” vaxxed person.
In my household the vaccine made it worse.
oh yeah, ianw is much much smarter than Mike Adams, yeah, demonstrates that here every time.
Yeah Mike Adams doesn’t even come here and comment in his own defence. Maybe he’s too busy being a powerhouse and a one man movement.
Ianw, not so much. just a sad troll
ianw is much much smarter than Mike Adams
In fact I am … because (a) I don’t flog snake-oil potions, and (b) I don’t make ludicrous predictions.
I vividly remember the 3 Nov – 6 Jan period last year … the lunatic Adams made all sorts of crazy wild predictions about a military coup, martial law, and a stunning Trump victory, none of which came true.
But that’s what happens on all the lunatic fringe websites that get pushed on here … even when their predictions are wildly, ludicrously wrong, no-one ever acknowledges that they were wrong … they blame the deep state, the mainstream media, or even the fairies at the bottom of the garden.
It’s just all terribly pathetic.
I was also born in California, during a time of plentiful resources.
Except water, of course. We always knew that water was scarce and should be preserved.
To Depression babies like my parents, and all the other parents of the Baby Boomers, used to making do with what they had and also to cooperating with their fellow citizens, being asked to conserve water during droughts was a perfectly reasonable request. We all did it.
Conserving gas and lowering thermostats during the 70s? Yep, did that too, maybe with some grumbling.
Compare and contrast to the people alive now, who feel entitled to move to California (or Nevada) and take 20 minute showers and who oppose conservation, because ”Damn the fish!”.
Turn down the thermostat or turn off lights in unused rooms? No way!
Meanwhile the citrus orchards, golden hills and berry farms of California have all been covered with McMansions, and the people who live there drive 50 miles to work on over-crowded freeways.
But over-population? What are you, a Malthusian? There is no such thing as human population. Why, you could put the entire population of the world into the LA basin, and they would all fit!
There is no such thing as over-population and if you say there is, you must hate humans.
So, yeah, I agree that our overlords are taking things into their own hands.
Why this simpleton’s conception of overpopulation?
It is not about space to house them
Nor available food to feed them
It is to do about fresh water.
It is to do about quality of life.
We believe that humanity is entitled to pursue and enjoy a quality of life.
The planet cannot sustain billions of people who enjoy steak, mahi mahi, champagne, vacations, single family homes, personally owned vehicles, good paying jobs, world travel, nature conservancy.
It is impossible.
Now dullards argue that the earth “has room” for billions more.
Well certainly, but you will be living in the crowded pens and eating the low quality processed feeds once reserved for the cattle that have now been freed.
Think, just a little.
night owl was spouting the same thing last week
“Spouting”
My, my. How interesting life is sometimes.
And mitigating overpopulation is not about murdering people.
It is about responsible family planning
If course Musk complains about it
The pyramid scheme of modern wealth demands a larger sucker pool
Prove there is overpopulation.
no, you show how the 7 billion population increase of the oil age will be supported as fossils decline. It can’t be explained without embracing tech-topian gibberish pregnant with bs that will sidle you right up to the great resetters themselves, and the tech-elites, and the deep-staters, and the renewables hucksters.
“No” says gus. What a powerful argument
You have convinced me.
You know what they say in Arguments 101, the burden of proof is on the claimant.
Explain in detail how you know the earth is overpopulated. Don’t be a worm.
see below for a little, NO.
why do you even follow this blog?
You’ve not read the long emergency obviously, or you disagree with its basic arguments. it’s nobody’s job to do your background study for you. Demanding rehashes of decades-old debates with no fresh input offered is… lazy
Prove there is oxygen
Night Owl, i agree with much that you post. This antipathy for overpopulation conclusions baffles me. It’s incongruous. It surprises me based on your general stances, and is surprising to encounter on this blog, also.
i think, in the end, this kind of thinking (there is no overpopulation) plays into the hands of the resetters. the only way there is no overpopulation as oil declines… is if our future is to own nothing but a postage stamp and to eat crickets. kind of a schwaubian vision.
Prove there is overpopulation instead of trying to suggest that I should not be here.
Or is the former something you cannot do?
The planet cannot sustain billions of people who enjoy steak, mahi mahi, champagne, vacations, single family homes, personally owned vehicles, good paying jobs, world travel, nature conservancy. It is impossible.
Exactly … it’s not just a function f the number of human beings, but their level of consumption, and the power they have to achieve that level of consumption.
I’m not sure either about that rosy picture of California in the 1950-1980 era … to me it was always the world epicentre of gross over-consumption, when resources were cheap and seen as unlimited.
it is also not merely dependent on reduced consumption, because life on a lower-tech plane requires more acreage of open land per person.
consumption today is not limited to consumption of land-resources but is consumption of underground fossil resources as well. When they are gone, we will be back to land-based resources alone.
fossils enable us to live on the equivalent of… i dont know how many planets worth of resources simultaneously. many multiples.
so its not about consuming less from a constant pool of resources, but surviving a drastically shrinking pool of resources.
reducing consumption cannot possibly counterbalance the loss of fossil resources at current pop levels
and global population does not fall easily. it’s never fallen except in ice-ages, cataclysmic events.
[…]reducing consumption cannot possibly counterbalance the loss of fossil resources at current pop levels
I think this is a pretty big cop-out.
If Americans (and others in the rich world – Europe, Japan, Australia, etc) dropped their consumption level to those of a Greek village or an Indonesian fisherman – then fossil fuels would last decades – centuries – longer.
You’re giving the heavy consumers a free pass, I reckon.
Gustaf, ” because life on a lower-tech plane requires more acreage of open land per person”
I think you’re correct. There was a study pointing out that when the Hutu and the Tuts in Rwanda reached below a critical level of land/person is when all hell broke loose. You and I probably couldn’t tell the difference between a Hutu and a Tutu but they efficiently polarized based on resource issues.
I don’t see how 8 billion + people are going to sustain themselves agriculturally if natural gas supplies (to make fertilizer) continue their decline.
“gross over-consumption”
Ian,
Nothing exceeds like excess…..
Think any of those dullards are willing to give up their quality of living so that people in Africa and Asia can breed more?
Nope and yet China is now up to three kids per parent.
Just what the world needs more super entitled locusts to scrape the world clean of anything that flies, swims or crawls.
Biggest mistake was the U.S. opening up to China in the 1970’s. When I was a young lad those bastards were stuck in a communist Stone Age riding bicycles in the cities and using oxen in the countryside. We should have left them there.
In our gross stupidity we almost single-handedly enabled that country to leap forward to an American standard of living and consumption in only half a century.
We also enabled the, to become a military threat to us. How boneheaded was that.
“It is not about space to house them”
You might be surprised to hear otherwise intelligent people very seriouisly presenting such information. Most recently, from Cynthia Chung, her presentation to the Corona Ausschuss included the info that the whole world’s population could fit into the state of Texas. She presented this factoid, with a map, actually to present a point regarding the capacity of technology to solve all problems of supposed overpopulation. CC is a very intelligent young woman, but . . . but . . . she as other similar (I think Michael Shellenberger might be of this ilk) have lost the ecological plot.
yeah… lost is the operative word
it’s not that surprising… the exact same thing went on in the 2000’s and has not stopped. tech-nerds spinning numbers to avoid a real confrontation with the population question.
it’s not surprising, it’s just repetitive. this entire issue has been debated fully. but people don’t study anything. they just listen to the latest blogs and then go make their own.
It’s not just the ecological plot, it is reality that has been lost.
Put everyone in the world into Texas, or LA, and how do you feed them? Water them? Remove their wastes?
They don’t live in the real world.
These are the same people that think that you can change your sex by thinking it so.
oh goodness, paula, i think both i and avatar missed your sarcasm above, thought you were actually mocking overpopulation yourself. i did anyways. oops

Despite all the things that want you dead here – and there are a few – we do not have bears or mountain lions in spooky woods, and for that I am eternally grateful.
No big terrestrial carnivores – our doozies are all in the water. It’s better living here – beaches are much better too.
The saving grace of the U.S. is that it’s worst problems are largely concentrated in about 20 or so major cities. The second you drive out to some lovely locale like Buffalo, Wyoming most of these problems evaporate and are well over the horizon.
I agree – we love visiting the US, and have frequently. But we go for the road-trips, the mountains, and the national parks, NOT for the cities. Okay, NYC for a week.
And we love cities in general – in Europe for example.
At the 1 year anniversary Big Dem influencers and their media shills were flogging the Jan. 6 Insurrection Meme for all it was worth. It seemed like an exercise in desperation; now that Sen. Manchin has torpedoed Biden’s signature Build Back Better narrative dredging up Trump’s imaginery transgressions is the only arrow left in the quiver.
Yes!!
And most of it is imaginary and based on MSM lies.
and tea party conservatives lies tambien
That theater production on the Capitol steps reminds me of why I left the States.
The word cringe was invented for just that sort of thing.
A bigger cringe was, today, a friend started to play a music video based on the song “Jolene” but was entitled “Vaccine” and yes… actually pleading with people to get it.
The death of art is so sad.
I saw all of the big headlines on the front pages, over the fold, of the Boston Globe, USA Today, NYTimes, and one other when I went to the supermarche today.
One wonders what the Left will do as the badly failing networks CNN and MSNBC are finally reaching a point where they are going to have to eject all of their woke, TDS-afflicted, professional liars and go back to regular news reporting if they want to survive.
I get the sense that, like the Boy who cried Wolf, these Leftwing media organs have completely run out of steam and presently exist only to provide raw meat video clips for FOX News to ridicule and refute on a daily basis.
Even Soros and friends must be growing weary of having to subsidize these massive money losers who no longer get results.
Not Fragile polymaths don’t live by or follow the herd.
They live and lead by the VISION.

“The Party-of-Chaos put on a grand opera of lamentation Thursday to celebrate its unity in victim-hood — we wuz so traumatized by the riot!..”
Our Nation has degenerated from The Greatest Generation to The Generation of Woe-Is-Me-And-You-Owes-Me.
January 6th represents our age in a nutshell. Rampant essential fakery and political and media narrative spinning for their own self-interests.
An ‘insurrection’ that wasn’t. A ‘serious threat to our Democracy’ that wasn’t. (We don’t HAVE a Democracy and this mob exercise in mutual selfie-taking was no threat to anything except good photography). January 6th represents the depravity of mass State corporate media conjuring out of thin air plots and threats and reasons to fear everything and everyone. And the depravity of the once proud Democrat Party that no longer represents real Democrats and has been the victim of a hostile takeover by various villains and malcontents.
“This is the crisis of a managerial class that has lost its ability to manage anything…”
WHEN DID the managerial class competently manage anything? Like all those bad bosses we’ve had in our lives that had big egos and didn’t know what the eff they were doing? Like all those ‘great statesmen’ politicians that represent everything and anything but We the People? It would be nice to some day HAVE a managerial class that knew the different between their rear ends and a hole in the ground.
“…the vaccinations don’t work, and that they are racking up an impressive record of harming people.”
The ‘impressive record of harming people’ proves that the maiming shots ARE working.
“… a tsunami that will sweep away the large businesses next. The WalMarts, the automobile industry, the airlines, trucking, Amazon.com, major league sports, the fast-food empires, the oil industry, the mega-banks…”
This is a Who’s-Who list of everyone who has sold out to a certain Asian nation with a large population with Social Credit scores.
“But the mass of Americans… might simply be tired of lunacy.”
Mass numbers of Americans have become ADDICTED TO lunacy. They now crave it like a daily drug fix. And when one is hooked on something, you always have to up the dose to get the high you’re looking for. Not a good sign for the future.
“Meanwhile, the prudent will save their energy… and make plans for a changed economic landscape that will require all the classical virtues they can muster for creating a life worth living.”
People will have to relearn a skill: How to think positively. Positivity has been under attack for decades now in The Greatest Nation and some will need to learn how to be positive or will need to learn it for the first time. That long journey that begins with that single step…
Or maybe a single cheesy song will do just as well.
https://spectatorworld.com/topic/lin-manuel-miranda-marks-january-6-cringe-hamilton-song/
The media, Democrats and other assorted conmen & women are determined to wring every last drop out of the January 6th ‘uprising.” The belief that the “hallowed halls of Congress were violated” is beyond satire. Is this the same building that lobbyists roam freely, writing memos (and checks) that their paid shills vote into law? Nancy P’s desk, a veritable shrine to corruption and incompetence, was sullied? But only by someone’s feet on it rather than the stuff on the sidewalk in her district in SF.
Instead of tragedy and then farce, we have farce and can look forward to tragedy. People do need to relearn a skill but where are the teachers of these skills? We’ll muddle through and somehow learn how to grow a garden, raise a chicken and make big adjustments.
At some point this Woke Cuktural Revolution must burn itself out. No nation of people can long endure present levels of psychic angst on a daily basis. The center s8mply will not hold. People will give up on all of this manufactured drama out of sheer exhaustion and a yearning to do something more fulfilling with their lives. Only the most demented will persist indefinitely and many of those will eventually eat a bullet or hang themselves to end the pain.
Putting aside blue and red. I commend your clarity Jim
Many of your followers don’t want to lose the comfort of knowing their enemies, but when self proclaimed libertarian Ted Cruz actually calls the Jan 6th victims of a well orchestrated Psyop Terrorists, you know we are dealing with two sides of the same coin.
They will unplug the internet next to protect Supply Businesses from a pre-planned cyber exploit. Of course they have an Internet 2.0 for them and all of the commerce of commoners will come to a screeching halt.
May they be thwarted, crushed and disemboweled
“Covid” isn’t going away. We still have nine “variants” to go until we get to Omega. The game plan has been rolled out for all to see – unless they chose to look away, as most do. There is no rolling it back now. It’s a tempering process: apply the heat, then back off – repeat as necessary. Eventually all (statistically “all”…) will comply.
We still have the mid-term selections to bugger. And buggered they will be, I’m sure. No in-person voting – the Psi variant is so deadly! The electoral results? Just as everyone hoped – a sweep by transgendered communist pedophiles!
With Trump out of the picture, “Covid” is the new and improved wedge. The Deplorables have evolved into the Anti-vaxxers.
The Ho gets “killed by white supremacists”. The Beast is appointed VP. The Big Guy falls victim to “Psi”. President Hildebeast, “Ok you deplorable anti-vaxxers, are you happy now? You just killed one of the greatest patriots that ever lived. You fucksticks are gonna get it now.” “Common Sense Gun Control”. Vaxx Pass. Internet throttled. (Dust off the mimeograph machine Mr. K.)
And I guess that’s my condensed prediction for 2022. Didn’t wanna steel Mr. K’s thunder last week, so I waited a week to check the trajectory of current events. Our trajectory? Watch the last few minutes of Thelma and Louise.
“Hey James, thanks for consistently including optimism in your writings. Even when it may not be completely warranted, it seems as if this predicament would be even worse without hope or any ability to change the paradigm.” ~ TaxDonkey (in threads)
Not sure I agree that unwarranted optimism makes anything better. You might feel better, but the situation hasn’t changed. Hope can lead one into not making the appropriate preparations.
Giving up hope can be as difficult as giving up smoking, but it can be done.
What?
WHY give up smoking pleasure?
The doctor reports NO adverse effects!

Sure, Blackbird, I was just having a little fun. Of course when dealing with humans, it’s ‘across the board’ and maybe, ‘you can’t win’.
Go ahead and have fun (if you must…) Zaz, just try to do it without smoking.
I wouldn’t worry – too much – about Donkey mistaking you for a gazelle. You know how those quadrupeds are… Actually, yeah, worry a little.
My thoughts were that his writings are likely more popular for mass consumption when sprinkled with optimism. Hope is exactly what compels one to make the appropriate preparations while lack of hope has the opposite effect. A man with no hope will stay in a jail cell for years not realizing that the door is was never locked. Not sure why Gazelle thinks I want therapy, he’s probably projecting.
I was just joking with both of you because of the sort of ‘complimentary-juxtapositional’ flavour of each of your comments and in context with what JHK has said before (which I thought was cool and amusing).
But that aside, and as per JHK’s video-referenced quote, while you might appreciate, and while it might be nice and convenient, cereal with sugar coating already added by the manufacturer, where missing, we can of course also add our own.
And it’s not like if you were in prison, since you mention that, you’d necessarily have the guards adding it for you or asking if you’d like extra pepper or a garnish of cilantro with your tomato bisque or whatever.
BTW, since my moniker is a bit of a slur, adaptive-reuse, tongue-in-cheek and/or social jab in itself, or however we want to call it, slurring a slur is relatively immaterial, if that’s the right word. So, Gazelle? Sounds kind of elegant, but sure, why not? Knock yourself out. See what you can come up with. 😀
Well, I think most of us are just here attempting to glean some insight into the ‘mindfuckery’ that is upon us. At my former work environment, nobody had the remotest idea about our ‘long emergency’ predicament, QE, peak oil etc…just business as usual. They were all highly functioning scientists, engineers and so on, the brightest among us supposedly. So I looked forward to the Monday morning essays, which in some odd way let me know I wasn’t the only crazy one. Someone else gets it! I guess one could call this a form of therapy.
Fair enough
Sounds plausible.
I’m a tad more optimistic. I believe Ron DeSantis will be the next president. I must be having a good day.
In March 2020 the Mighty Wurlitzer was playing with the stops pulled out, pushing Fear to the max. But I knew no one who died, mostly because I didn’t know anyone in a nursing home in the Dem states.
Then in Dec 2020, as they rolled out the vaccines, they also rolled out the Scary UK Variant, to push people into taking the jabs.
Everyone I knew who got covid got it then, but they all recovered within days. But the Fear was intense.
Then came Delta, during the summer months which are traditionally NOT cold and flu season. It was said to attack children, who were out of school, so had no way to transmit it. But the vaccines were about to be extended to children, so……No one questioned these absurdities. I know people who were holding out on the vaxes, but succumbed to the Fear of Delta.
So they lied, every time, in order to push their agenda.
Now they are telling us that there is a new variant, a kinder, gentler virus, that only gives us a runny nose and will make us all immune.
Ummm, except that for the first time in two years, I know people who are gravely ill, seriously ill, not-getting-better ill.
Are they lying again?
[…] except that for the first time in two years, I know people who are gravely ill, seriously ill, not-getting-better ill.
Are these unfortunate people unvaccinated?
Omicron is mainstream media code for ‘vaccine injured’.
On a positive note, the dreaded ADE doesn’t seem to be manifesting itself with the Omicron. Many of us were wondering if ADE in an of itself was going to precipitate a mass culling. Perhaps humanity might be spared this nightmare, not that the current situation looks good or anything, but just to inject some optimism.
I know some sickies too. I mean, it is flu season.
Hope they’ll be ok. Yours too Paula.
Russia has been complaining about the US/NATO push to their western borders, the military exercises, the nuclear missiles pointed at them, the Nazis in Ukraine killing people in eastern Ukraine.
The US has agreed to meet with Russia next Wed, to discuss these issues.
And so Kazakhstan, to Russia’s south, suddenly explodes with rioting all over the country, police attacked and beheaded, hospitals taken over and doctors killed, thugs roaming the streets, attacking citizens and burning public buildings.
Cause, you know…..”grievances”.
Coincidence? I think not.
I don’t think that Russia is going to allow another Ukraine.
No, Russian tanks are rolling into Kazakhstan at this moment. Looks like an entire Armored Division.
Why how utterly BLM/ANTIFA sounding!
Over on the saker they’re calling it another color revolution, by design, like Hong Kong and like those that have destroyed/destabalized half the middle east.
Contributers to the saker say that Syria was a US operation.
Have you seen the Novus Ordo city in Khazakastan? Someone posted it earlier, comes complete with a pyramid and a bunch of other masonic architectural symbols.
Globalists are trying to inoculate as many people as possible so that their great reset aka depopulation 2030 plan work. Hospitals in USA are refusing life-saving Ivermectin. Get Ivermectin therapeutic https://ivmcures.com
Hey James, thanks for consistently including optimism in your writings. Even when it may not be completely warranted, it seems as if this predicament would be even worse without hope or any ability to change the paradigm.

CBC Journalist Quits; Admits Network Is ‘Deep State’ Propaganda
“CBC’s Tara Henley, a longtime and respected mainstream media journalist from Toronto, has resigned from her job with CBC while admitting the network has become infiltrated by Deep State operatives.” ~ Newspunch
Why I resigned from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
“In a short period of time, the CBC went from being a trusted source of news to churning out clickbait that reads like a parody of the student press…
To work at the CBC in the current climate is to embrace cognitive dissonance and to abandon journalistic integrity.
It is to sign on, enthusiastically, to a radical political agenda that originated on Ivy League campuses in the United States and spread through American social media platforms that monetize outrage and stoke societal divisions. It is to pretend that the ‘woke’ worldview is near universal — even if it is far from popular with those you know, and speak to, and interview, and read.
To work at the CBC now is to accept the idea that race is the most significant thing about a person, and that some races are more relevant to the public conversation than others. It is, in my newsroom, to fill out racial profile forms for every guest you book; to actively book more people of some races and less of others.
To work at the CBC is…” ~ Tara Henley (rest of article at Substack)
To work at the CBC now is to accept the idea that race is the most significant thing about a person, and that some races are more relevant to the public conversation than others.
Hardly surprising – the White Hats have been saying that about black / brown / yellow people for three or four hundred years. Even the resident Nazi here views everything through the prism of race (and of course believes his is a member of the very bestest one).
Yet James has banned you more than he has banned Jarek.
Says a lot about your contributions.
LOL.
You mean kicked, yes? If banned, they’d still be gone, yes?
The user name gets banned, not the IP.
Understood, thanks.
what was he banned for?
You people say race is nothing and culture is everything – and now you’ve contradicted this fundamental principle in your public policy.
We say both are important, but talk more about race because it’s been neglected for millenia in the Christian West. We never deny culture or nurture the way you people deny race.
Now your woke allies are making race everything and you are a dinosaur who doesn’t fit in anywhere.
That is true.
Had an incident with a member of the dark subset wherein he decided to not wait his turn in line.
Tried having a reasonable conversation with this piece of trash but he got his way and suggested he would be waiting for me outside.
I suggested nothing would make me day more than to bounce his ugly head off the asphalt.
Hilarity ensued since this fool had never had a white person call him on his bullshit.
Typical ghetto trash all talk when he could not sneak up behind me and sucker punch me.
Plus, the about twenty witnesses to his ever-expanding threats of violence.
I suggested he was going to meet bad end with his attitude.
90+% of the time they are just seeing if they can get away with something without pushback… can you blame them? 90+% of the time they get away with it
I’m not only tired of people of color; I’m tired of colored people.

Used to live in Berkeley/Oakland area. Now in far more pleasant Santa Cruz county.
Ain’t never goin’ back there none nohow!
Hey, debt, expand your perspective.
Dinosaurs dominated and proliferated for 165 million years, and would probably still be doing so if a rock hadn’t slammed into the Gulf of Mexico. Mammals would still be size of cats and ferrets, with about the same brains.
I understand what is going on – that there is something of a big correction occurring, after centuries of oppression of non-white people.
African-Americans have got into positions of power and influence in all manner of places, from academia, state & local politics, government agencies, the judiciary, media, and law enforcement. Latinx to some serious levels as well.
They are using that power and influence to the extent that they can. Can you blame them? I also understand why the White Hats resent it and push back whenever they see things “going too far” – which is just about all the time.
And the White Hats reserve most of their vitriol for those on the white team who go along with this correction behaviour. Also not unexpected.
I saw some NBC Breakfast News this morning – all four anchorpersons were non-white. Network producers and managers must think this is the Zeitgeist – I must admit I prefer a balanced mix, but I don’t get a say.
Hahahahaha! Wokie muppet. Even worked in “Latinx” – hey, genius, did you know that doesn’t work with the Spanish language? Latinos don’t like it. But they didn’t have a say. WHITEY decided to call them all that.
What an imbecile you are.
“centuries of oppression”, lol
“white team who go along with this correction behaviour”, lol x 2
I seem to recall those of the darker persuasion doing things like invading and occupying the Iberian peninsula for seven centuries or taking so many Slavic peoples into captivity that the word slave draws its etymology from the practice or bringing the Black plague to Europe. Sounds oppressive to me. In the good old US, the vast disparity of black-on-White crime to White-on-black crime for the last half century at least is a more recent reminder of reality.
More to the point though, in a world where resources are dwindling and the primordial tribalism of human nature is again taking its natural place on center stage, what will be the place for your ilk, the white eunuchs?
Mary claimed that in thousands of interactions with Blacks at work, she never experienced any racial animus from them. Needless to say I don’t believe her.
Hahahahaha! Wokie muppet. Even worked in “Latinx”
It’s interesting how some are so easily triggered …
And I did check – and yes – very few Latino/Latina people are enamoured by “Latinx”, but a large number aren’t that keen on the Spanish-centric “Hispanic” either.
But perhaps untwist your panties over it.
Jarek, I don’t GAF what you believe.
I have never had a run-in with a black person at work.
I’ve had many asshole, narcissistic bosses who were white.
It is what it is. Deal.
Blacks like Mary because she’s one of the rare, good whites. Why can’t we be good like Mary?
Women are life. Men are death.

Who are the ‘White Hats’?
Most people, no matter their skin-tone or ethnicity or whatever, get along fine with others.
As a child, I grew up in a diverse mix of people. Each individual was/is as different to me as I was/am to them. No big deal. And our differences were viewed as ‘cool/fun/interesting/positive’.
Maybe how to see and get along with people, some adults could get some tips from the children.
Get real. Newsflash: People are tribal. See for example, all history, forever.
Also, on the more technical analysis as to why ur feel-good formulation is not relevant to our society problems, is that the properties that individual humans have, are different properties than the groups that they comprise.
The characteristics of groups of humans, are not the same as their individual members.
The properties of human groups have more influence on the individuals that comprise them, than the other way around, is another way to look at it.
Different people and tribes can and do get along fine. And someone can be so-called white yet be a member of a tribe whose remaining members are all so-called black.
I’ve never actually met a black or white person, have you?
Henley doesn’t appear to be ‘latching onto’ race, if you read the rest of the article. It’s just one detail.
Besides, was ‘race’ replaced quite some time ago– before ‘woke’– with ‘ethnicity’?
Back before the current insanities, “Race” was used on multiple levels. Most typically on the level of ethny (ethnic group), but on the larger supergroup level, as well. Which is what is used for today, most of the time.
But a phrase like “the Saxon race” or “the Nordic race” or “the English race” or “the German race” could still be used understood; or maybe not.
It’s wasn’t dogmatic, what level it was used at; there was some flexibility.
Now tho, it means the supergroup level, which correspond to the continents; loosely.
Understood.
Did you read my quote between two people at Resilience incidentally?
Many do seem to love to play fast and loose with categorizations. Remember phrenology? Maybe it will make a comeback, alongside the assorted psychoses/pathologies.

Hundreds of ianw’s
Go give ’em what for. ‘u^
paula d : “There is no such thing as over-population.”
is this going to be an ever ascendent mantra on the right now, in the face of the resetters?
this is going to put me to sleep.
I can’t tell who says it most. The lefties like to pretend that it’s ”racist” to say there are too many people, but the righties have their whole ”quiver-full” beliefs. I think they’re both nuts.
I think that many people who grew up in the US, not just me in LA, knows that there is over-population from their own experience.
Even people that grew up in the country usually have stories of their favorite childhood places now sporting multiple McMansions with two cars in each drive.
I might be mistaken, or maybe just exaggerating, but my impression is that, ex immigration, the US population would have increased very little since 1960 or 1970.
It wasn’t until well after 2000 that I realized there was a significant amount of immigration, since I never lived anywhere that had a significant immigrant population.
But even granting a population increase due to immigration, it doesn’t seem to me that increasing population accounts for sprawling suburbs and McMansions spilling over into exurban and rural areas. It doesn’t seem to me to account for all the four-lane highways that, in my childhood, were not much more than cow paths.
In my area (the greater Kansas City area), the emergence of suburban sprawl can be dated very exactly. Flight to the suburbs began when the Kansas City Public School District was integrated. Most of them fled across the state line to Kansas, since there was a possibility that the KC school district would force the Missouri suburbs to integrate with them–a policy that could not cross a state line.
I stil can’t see how the city’s white middle-class enclaves of 1960 morphed into hundreds of square miles of suburbia over in Kansas, or why a population that hasn’t increased that much seems to need about a hundred times as much housing.
Is it because so many families now require separate domiciles for the husband and the wife? Is it because childless couples and empty nesters now require 3,000 square feet of house? On the other hand, young people used to move out on their own at the earliest possible moment. I suspect that most of the population increase in this area came about because people (and their employers) moved here from other parts of the US.
I read somewhere, (but of course the search engines are now worthless so no point in looking), that the US population would still be 200 million if not for immigration, since the native population of the US was convinced to limit their child production to replacement level starting in the 70s.
133 million more means more housing needed. But I think part of it was people moving out of the cities to the suburbs as the cities degenerated starting in the 60s.
In LA there was a lot of SRO housing. One room with a Murphy bed, a kitchenette and a small bathroom. (In the older ones the bathroom was down the hall, shared by everyone on the floor).
I’m pretty sure there was equivalent cheap housing in every city.
They tore all those down with ”urban renewal”. So where did those people paying $50/month rent go?
They moved out, spreading out into the suburbs, but eventually being pushed onto the streets,
Oh, and there were also a lot of trailer parks, with smaller than singlewide trailers, also torn down.
And seedy motels who rented rooms by the week or month.
What happened is >
Immigration [including chain migration]
anchor babies
refugees
wetbacks
and abortion being legal.
Absent immigration, my perception is the native-born American birthrate was between replacement (1.6 to 1.7 children) and two kids. So that’s pretty steady.
Immigrants tend to have more kids.
But, in my admittedly limited world, here is what I have seen:
In the 1960s, it was not uncommon for families with 3, 4, or even 5 kids to live in a 3-bedroom, 1100 sf house, in the US, and to be pleased about it–middle class, good job.
In the 1970s and 80s, families got smaller, and houses got bigger–the house and the lot, but you still had the parents and 1 to 3 kids.
Starting in the 1990s, we had the McMansions. Good farmland, ruined, by 3000-4000 sf behemoths, for two parents, and….1 infant. Maybe two.
That’s not sustainable.
Similar trend with vacation homes, resulting in overbuilt rural areas. That’s in the USA. The scale is smaller, but I’ve seen similar trends in Greece–where resources like land and fuel are much more expensive, and money and credit are much more scarce.
But if one thinks that the Global Reset is about “saving the planet”, one is very naive. It is about using the above as a pretext to take over. The people on top encouraged and enabled the excess consumption that they now blame for global warming.
Jim, I wish I could share your faith that the bad guys will face prosecution. But those “bloodhounds of justice” you mentioned will not be making an appearance.
“These are the questions that will matter going forward….”
As usual, another articulate blog by JHK, and one that is rather optimistic IMO. What was left out, IMO, is a set of skills I learned about as a young ER doctor moonlighting during residency and fellowship. I worked in ERs in small towns in the midwest, and I saw an incredible level of violence, including gun shot wounds, stabbings, beatings, and rapes.
What I learned is that human beings are violent when stressed. Obviously there are differences between individuals’ stress tolerances and trigger levels. But, when sufficiently stressed many, if not most, people have the ability to become violent.
My view of what JHK is talking about is the transition from this society to the next society, WMBH (probably a better place). Agreed that we see the failure of decentralization and BIGness everywhere, and I agree that we’ll eventually evolve to smallness in communities, business, medicine, etc., as the financial system and the energy system collapse. BUT, in the interim, people are going to stressed out to the max; their world views will be smashed and their sources of self esteem, i.e. money, possessions, vocations, may be jerked away from them. They may be hungry and unable to feed families. They will be angry beyond anything seen before, and will do whatever it takes to feed their families, And that means violence toward those who have what they want or need. Not to mention the huge number of gangs (check out the FBI periodic gang reports) that are rampant even in small towns and rural counties throughout the US, and in virtual control in the big cities.
So, another set of questions going forward is as follows: Do you own a variety of firearms to protect your family for various threat scenarios? Do you have sufficient ammo for each firearm? Do you have training in the safe use of said firearms? Do you have the psychological fortitude to take another’s life when you or your family is threatened with deadly force? Just say’in.
I meant to write “failure of centralization”, not decentralization. Sorry.

…Yeah (just answerin’).
Your post makes sense.
Even more important than owning guns and ammo, is being able to network with the neighbors. No one alone in his house, is in a good position against an armed gang that has back-up.
The time for networking with neighbors, is now.

Healthy young athletes dropping dead everywhere. At the end of last thread I mentioned a 16 year old varsity hockey player from Greenwich, Ct who died on the ice, in the middle of a match. Local media is warning us not to draw any conclusions from this untimely and tragic death.
One question is, were athletes dropping dead before and we just didn’t notice or are the current ones statistically/comparatively significant?
That’s the line. “Young athletes have always dropped dead during games. Sometimes two at a time”.
Also “Children have always had heart attacks and strokes.”
What were the statistics before?
The statistics before were, kids don’t get heart attacks and strokes.
If they had only been wearing their White Hats, this wouldn’t have happened.

and your handy man died.
Yep. Another soccer pro down.

I know this may seem repetitious, but to fully understand our current situation requires embracing a ranchers POV.
If you can view the teeming billions not as individual agents possessing free will, but rather a burdensome and challenging management problem, it will help you understand what is actually occurring in the world today.
I’ve long said you need an iq of maybe 110+- to understand what jim is writing about, and perhaps 125 or so to be fully fluent to the level of either planning and/or deconstruction.
This range represents at most less than 5%, so 95% represents the targeted victims of manipulation. From the predators perspective, why should they be given a break. Why do they deserve any respect or recognition? Just because they were born a meat robot?
The 5% then either become natural pragmatic allies involved in the con, or the misguided opposition insisting on singing kumbaya while sitting in a circle lightly holding hands.
Once you can see the world in this way, then it becomes a trivial exercise to game play how everything is going down.
The bottom line is that nukes will inevitably be used as the resource conflicts become more pronounced. The only really feasible way of mitigating this threat is via controlling volume and rate. That is, numbers of people and per capita consumption.
Humane genocide combined with newer, more malleable and less demanding populations are the way forward for those clearly thinking about looming shortages, mayhem and nuclear conflagration.
nukes. will most likely require a functioning nation-state government with an interest in fighting for its population.
i see governments losing interest in their own populations… what would you be bombing another nation state for? When you could just let your own population go to hell, no nukes involved.
support some of your constant mantras por favor?
ok, i guess your saying active population reduction to reduce pressure and likelihood of nuclear wars.
maybe my snark there was a lil misplaced
but i see governments basically devolving more quickly, to the point that they are incapable of acting forcefully either towards their own populations or outwardly in nuclear war. just fluttering, folding and withering… a third way
And who will maintain the nuclear arsenal — 10,000 warheads in Russia and the USA alone — when technicians no longer show up for work? (Either because they are too sick, or they no longer exist)
Or they have been fired for not taking the jab.
who will maintain the nuclear power plants, who will maintain all the skyscrapers, who will maintain the supply lines for all the soldiers stuck in military bases all over the world, who will maintain the scale of this economy….?
Our leaders of course. ‘u^
I wouldn’t say nukes are “inevitable” per se, but there’s a pretty damn good chance they will be used to some extent sooner or later. And not necessarily against other nations either. I’ve long suspected they’d be used in false flag attacks on American cities first as a pretext for letting them fly elsewhere. Matter of fact, I fully expect that. And what’y’a know? We’re in another shittin’ match with Russia and China as we speak. You heard it here first. Of course once we cross that line all bets will be off, as any pretext of returning to normal economic or social activity in the aftermath would be long gone forever.
Wild, wild west motherf***ers!
Remember when Cheney was president and a USAF jet ”accidentally” loaded nuclear weapons at Minot and then accidentally flew to Barksdale, and then they noticed that one of them had accidentally gone missing?
I have expected that gun to go off in the second act for a while.
I guess they’re waiting for the 5th act or something.
OH right yes I remember that now! Too many things to keep track of. These people aren’t even sneaky. I guess they don’t have to be. Yeah, I wonder where that one will end up detonating.
mitchell,
I liked Anthea’s observation to one of your previous manifestos. The one about 40 acres and a mule.
You know, everybody on earth could get a few acres, some seed and tools, and some training in intensive organic farming.
Without a need to kill anyone. Some condoms could be part of the deal. Or a cash bonus for sterilization, on a voluntary basis.
If “thinkers” were as bright as you think they are, they would have thought of this.
Unless they are all ghouls and thrive on human sacrifice and suffering – which it appears they do.
Rich lives matter.
Mary, in “the return of the magicians”, the authors advance a plausible theory about the nazis continuing their mass murder operations until the very end of the war, when they were clearly losing and the manpower and resources were needed elsewhere. Not because of any political ideology but as an occult, massive human sacrifice. Perhaps in hopes demons would finally emerge and give them a last minute victory.
Hamlet:
Swear by my sword
Never to speak of this that you have heard.
Ghost:
[Beneath] Swear by his sword.
Hamlet:
Well said, old mole, canst work i’ th’ earth so fast?
A worthy pioner! Once more remove, good friends.
Horatio:
O day and night, but this is wondrous strange!
Hamlet:
And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Excellently stated, Rulo.
Yes, the human sacrifices are done for myriad reasons. Too many people don’t realize this. It’s not as if it hasn’t been done since the dawn of man.
“everybody on earth could get a few acres, some seed and tools, and some training in intensive organic farming.”
this is a hard, crowded, gray, depressing vision to me, destined to blow up. if it were even truly possible to farm permanently at that density.
the whole earth gridded out and micro managed for max population. yuck
this is a hard, crowded, gray, depressing vision to me, destined to blow up.
Yes – apart from the implacability (impossibility) of “everyone” on earth getting a few acres of decent land with adequate fresh water – I agree that life would be so boring that people would kill others or kill themselves.
Human progress is measured by the degree to which fewer and fewer people need to devote fewer and fewer hours per month to the growing and production of food.
I agree that capitalism has absolutely screwed the pooch, and brought down upon us over-consumption, unhealthy people, and climate drama, but we’re not all going back to the garden.
And there is no need for it – with proper, scaled-down communities, and cities under say 250,000, evolving some form of agrarian socialism still with specialised skills used for specialised tasks, then life could be fun and meaningful.
Need to get the fresh water right though.
@ ianw:
It’s odd that you believe rural agrarian work is “boring.” But perhaps I am uninitiated into the joys of working in a cubicle, filling out TPS reports.
A rural and primarily agrarian community would still have its share of small businesses. To get an idea of the rural US economy of around 1900-1910, look up old fire insurance maps for your town online.
The town nearest me had every imaginable sort of business for that era: a hotel, a picture framer, a furniture store, a photographer, some restaurants, a dry goods store, a tinsmith–even an opera house. By 1910 there was a cannery, and even a small university. And this was in a town that, at the time, had a population of less than 2,000. There appear to have been more businesses than residences, but maybe the residences are not shown on these maps much.
Economies like this can be a natural outgrowth of an agricultural economy.
Even today, my area has a honey farm, an artisan cheese maker, dairymen, and some orchardists. Some of my old neighbors operate home businesses as confectioners, bakers, and jewelry makers–and a few soapmakers (including me). One of my neighbors is a licensed marijuana grower. Some small farms grow produce for sale at farmers’ markets. One of my old friends grows and sells produce, eggs, meats, baked goods, jams and jellies, and a few crafts. Many people raise various kinds of livestock for meat: chickens, pigs, beef, and goats. And there are of course many people employed in the building trades.
The chief reason for this immense prosperity was because, at that time, the town’s economy was almost exclusively a free-market economy in which almost everyone was self-employed, either as a farmer or a small business man or woman. There was little presence of the government boot on people’s necks.
You (ian) have a distincly blinkered view of rural agriculturally based economies. In reality, they can be immensely varied and provide opportunties for a wide variety of small businesses–with no socialism necessary. Such an economy provides a far richer and more interesting life than sitting in a cubicle.
@Anthea I find it hard to believe that this is a real person.
If he is real, he is insufferable and I question why he hangs out here?
Hence my first position. He seems to devote a lot of time and energy to undermining each thread he joins.
In reality, they can be immensely varied and provide opportunities for a wide variety of small businesses–with no socialism necessary. Such an economy provides a far richer and more interesting life than sitting in a cubicle.
I’ve never worked in a cubicle by the way – many of my careers have been hugely varied, and involved a lot of travel, and a fair amount of being outside.
I still love being outside – I type this outside in the shade, on a sunny Sunday afternoon
The area you live in sounds kind of idyllic, and presumably blessed with decent soil, good water, and reasonable weather.
Australia is mostly arid and essentially uninhabitable in that way – like the very dry bits of Arizona. But the favoured parts do contain many rural towns and cities that were pretty moribund 40 years ago, but have had a new lease of life, and indeed a population increase.
But in general, that type of rural idyll does have its serious drawbacks – particularly for the young and the restless.
Lots of young ones want to get out as soon as they can – go to college somewhere interesting, and never go back, essentially.
Socialism and government haven’t wrecked the perfect economies of small cities and towns … ever-growing capitalism has.
Everything from Walmart to big banks and insurance companies, clothing chains, fast food chains, and much else.
Thousands of family farms have been devoured by agri-business.
Television, the music industry, and now the Internet, have destroyed a lot of local live theatre and live music.
And I still do think a lot of rural and in-town work is pretty boring … at least for those with ambition. There are hundreds of “real careers” that are only found in bigger urban centres, and they are attractive to a lot of people.
Anyway – we’re all different, and desire different things for the next twenty years of mayhem we might face … or for however long we live.
Hence my first position. He seems to devote a lot of time and energy to undermining each thread he joins.
I prefer to think of it as challenging the more outlandish claims and assertions on here – make their authors work a little harder to justify them, and to be a small intervention into the echo-chamber syndrome.
Most of the time I think I do a pretty reasonable job in providing alternative narratives. Requires a thick skin of course.
Anthea, good observations, as is the case with your posts often.
gustafson, ian, note I said “organic” farming, not industrial ag. Big difference. Done right, intensive organic is not just productive, but beneficial to Nature.
“hard, crowded, gray, depressing vision”? Are you talking about call centers, walmarts or what? Because in my experience, organic farming is the opposite of that vision.
In any case, what would you two do with the billions excess humans? mitchell is for exterminating them. Do you have better ideas?
Realistically, people could voluntarily cooperate in a worldwide eugenics program.
The baseline would be that everyone gets to have one kid, with one partner, and start with that.
People would be excluded from their procreating of one child, for “capital” offenses.
And people would be allowed to have two children, for having blond hair anb being 6 foot 2 with a 125 iq. Haha kidding; haha not really kidding. [lighten up already]
In any case, it’s an idea. People would have to agree to it, on a worldwide scale, which seems unlikely.
There would be total set-asides for the last remaining primitive peoples, maybe, and those other groups who wanted not to play.
In any case, what would you two do with the billions excess humans? mitchell is for exterminating them. Do you have better ideas?
Redistributing incomes so the 75% very poor get a fair shake – would be a good start.
But I expect you think that’s too Bolshie – you like your privileges too much.
“The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.”
“Meanwhile, the prudent will save their energy to get through the rigors ahead and make plans for a changed economic landscape that will require all the classical virtues they can muster for creating a life worth living.”
true, Jim. However, the federal government, with its parasitic military industrial vampires, and shill lying corporate press, will not give out its power without gross & sinister malfeasance towards the US public.
There will be all types of shadow plays, red herrings, false flags, Tonkin Gulfs, and other Reichstag fire level events, all in which the federal government will desperately attempt to prove its relevancy and legitimacy.
So, behold the shibboleth of the January 6th “insurrection” (guys walking thru the Capitol building). Or “Russian aggression”. Or, “voting suppression”. Or “covid variants” or any of these manufactured horrors and outrages. They are all lies. Some outright. Some by omission. But they are all lies, nonetheless.
“Meanwhile, the prudent will save their energy to get through the rigors ahead and make plans for a changed economic landscape that will require all the classical virtues they can muster for creating a life worth living.”
I agree totally of course, but the timeline is the unknowable.
At three months shy of 70 I’m not going to up-stakes and go out and plant veggies, but we do have three bug-out locations available to us (owned by us) if life in big cities becomes intolerably unworkable.
We’d probably still starve eventually, but in nice quiet places. But I don’t think it will come to that – not in my lifetime anyway.
However I talk to our numerous nieces and nephews – all of whom have good-income careers, suburban houses, kids, iPhones, and all the clutter of modern life.
I do discreetly suggest at parties that they get the fuck out to a smaller town or city, in a desirable part of the country (good rainfall) and build a life for themselves and their kids that is a bit different.
But no – they just think, “There’s goes crazy Uncle Ian again”, and turn to their phones. Oh well – they might be fine too – the shit might not really hit the fan for another 40-50 years.
Who knows?
Panel discussion (YouTube):
“Derrick Jensen: ‘What is capitalism? And what’s wrong with capitalism?’
Stephanie McMillan: ‘Capitalism is a form of class society which has come to dominate the entire world in one global system, where the whole of social production is done for the benefit of only a few… what makes capitalism different from previous forms is the way that wealth is accumulated, which is through the exploitation of labour and the process of the production of commodities: Workers are not payed the full value of their labour; they produce more value than they receive as wages, and that extra labour power, which is stolen by the capitalist and is called ‘surplus value’, is embodied in the commodities, and realized as profit when those are sold and reinvested as new capital…’
Jensen: ‘…Give an example?’
McMillan: ‘You’re working for $10 an hour and you’re making boxes of frozen waffles. You’re working at a factory. The amount that you’re payed is a wage that corresponds to the working day. So you’re paid… $80 a day, and you produce $80 worth of waffles in an hour, let’s say. So the whole rest of the day, you’re producing waffles for free. The value of those waffles belongs to the capitalist,it doesn’t belong to you who made them… You’ve produced that much surplus value for the capitalist.’
Jensen: ‘And the argument is that the capitalists deserve that because they’re taking a risk with their money, right?’
McMillan: ‘Yeah and because they own the factory. But the factory, itself, was made through the same process, and so it’s congealed[/embedded] stolen labour from workers as well… Capitalists do have the most weapons usually, and they take that stuff at the beginning [historically]. So that’s why they claim to own it– they conquer it. The… first part of capitalism is called primary[/primitive] accumulation, and that’s basically going out somewhere and stealing money and resources and enslaving people… So basically, it begins as conquering and then once it’s owned, they claim to have a right to it. Capitalism involves the domination of this class over the working class and it also involves the resistance of workers to that domination in the matrix of social relations that are manifested in political and idealogical fields. So that’s class struggle, and it shapes our everyday lives, everything we do. It shapes our taste in music, what we care about, what we wear… It’s ideological domination… The whole society, the way that it exists has been shaped by the economic system that we live under… and in the interests of that class that dominates that system.’ ”
“People who dismiss the unemployed and dependent as ‘parasites’ fail to understand economics and parasitism. A successful parasite is one that is not recognized by its host, one that can make its host work for it without appearing as a burden. Such is the ruling class in a capitalistic society.” ~ Jason Read
Wow Zaz, exceptional quote, how true. Our economic system has certainly degraded into a Clusterfuck, where those that produce things of value or do work that has value have largely settled to the bottom of the barrel and are compensated accordingly, while those who have mastered the art of fraud and financial manipulation are sucking the value out of our entire society before it all implodes.
Sports stars, entertainers, politicians and criminal bankers are all parasites upon us and are working their asses off trying to keep us from becoming cognizant of their ever-expanding mass on our backs.
Well said both of you.
I have seen the wealthy stars, musicians, athletes, politicians, royalty and famous CEO types like Gates, Bezos and Musk as complete parasites for a long time now. I think the biggest batch are the UK royal fam.
Glad you think so, you’re quite welcome and good points both of you.
Alas, we even have small-scale local business parasitism too, (which, to digress a touch, might be in part why businesses conform so readily to the covid mandates).
Small restaurant owners hire staff and then the owners might essentially disappear, except to check the running of the ops and to collect their disproportionate cut.
The Communist idea was to kill them and then try to do exactly the same thing without the profit motive, failing miserably. Or how about the Chinese putting the top men in every field out in the fields to work to atone for their sin of superiority.
One must realize that “systems” aren’t going to change this per se. There are large numbers of human beings who see life in terms of profit. There is nothing they will not do for it. Any odd duck who tries to do something good can and would be sued by the shareholders for not putting profit first. It seldom gets that far as the good are weeded out long before they get to such a position in any case.
One must put other men above the profiteers, men who see life in another way. Then guide, control, and discipline them. Use their energy and genius for the good of all. They won’t like it, too bad. They can leave. National Socialism and Fascism are the way forward, the high middle beyond both Capitalism and Communism or the shaky mid-point of Socialism. They are not on the same line at all. Those are all about matter. National Socialism and Fascism are about Man.
I take my stand on the Vedas, Plato, and Aquinas who affirm there are higher types of Men. If you can’t imagine this, then you aren’t one of them. Instead you are one of the “masses”, either one of the profiteers or wanna be profiteers. Or one of the resentful proles, the gimmes as John Az calls them. Or perhaps an intellectual, who should be higher, but just utterly confused. Or an evil Brahmin type. Or just somebody obsessed with studying something very small, like nematodes or something far away, like the weather on Jupiter.
All of these types have their place and all will be raised up to their best in National Socialism. One warm spring morning, there was a ground breaking for a new building. Instead of just posing for a picture, Hitler shocked everyone by beginning to dig. He didn’t stop and his shirt began to stain with sweat. He began to laugh and other joined in, digging as well. He was teaching them of the Dignity of Labor. Maybe the proles won’t hate so much if they aren’t hated? If they are treated well? What an idea!
Just so the more formidable Businessmen. Very dangerous if left to their own devices, but absolutely indispensible. No system fosters creativity, initiative, and meets consumer demand as well as Capitalism. To deny such men their calling would be like denying people good food or sex. If they support the State, the State will smile upon them, if they don’t it won’t. And they can leave or go to prison or dig ditches. The State leads in this dance, never Industry.
Plato said a man could change metals, go up one in a given incarnation. If a man reaches the top in his field, if he has shown enthusiastic loyalty, why shouldn’t he be invited to come up higher, to become a Party member, and to be the one to regulate the industry he knows so well?
I’m on your side JAREK.Everyone on websites yakking on about fascists as the same as communists is starting to get dreary.Whatever some of their other attributes, being moderately well read about historical and philosophical/political movements was on their list for further intrested study.Conflating Facism with communism is lazy argument.
As usual the debate is “who will decide?”.
To paraphrase Frank Herbert, “The quality of a civilization is determined by the training of its leaders”.
We are being shown, first hand, what does not work.
The Kingdom of God [ THE decider ] is a form of government, not a religion.
only so long as the spice flows
The Philosopher King will love God and the gods. He will revere the scriptures, the saints, and the sages. Marcus Aurelius would on occasion even attempt to teach a bit from the Throne.
As Socrates – who would have been even greater – Justice is giving each their just deserts. Putting everything in its right place, be it individuals, classes, or other races. The latter belongs outside the polity.
Thank you. It’s American “thinking: Both fight (and fighting is BAD!), therefor both are the same. Miserable idiots, as if we didn’t fight the Indians, the French, and the Indians to take this continent and found this nation.
I normally don’t take part in discussions of capitalism here, because no one seems to be proceeding from a clear definition of capitalism. (So I don’t know what the hell they’re talking about.)
However, in the scenario you describe above, where the wee waffle-maker is compensated for only a small fraction of his labor product, why the hell doesn’t he start his own waffle business? That way he could reap the full value of his labor product, which would (theoretically) be about eight times his pay as an employee. (It actually wouldn’t be that much, as there would be input costs, but for a manufacturer who is also a retailer, costs should be only about one-fourth of the retail price.)
This particular ill of “capitalism” arises almost entirely from government intrusion into free markets, mostly for the purpose of making it difficult for people to start their own businesses. The types of intrusion are many and varied, so I won’t list them. But in true free-market capitalism, the wee waffle-maker employee would start his own business and cut his old employer off at the knees.
Economies of scale. Small wheat farms make no sense. Small herb farms may.
No small producer can compete with a factory. But of course some discerning “consumers” (what an ugly word) may appreciate a craftsman.
Now is needed a sense of proportion: Are the little guys going to be able to overthrow the big, economically? No. Free Markets? In Hindu political theory that would be called The Law of the Fish: big eats little. Or our Law of the Jungle.
The economy won’t police itself. Yet it must be policed? Oh my God, but by whom? By the higher castes, not antifa or communist gimmes.
Small businesses are crushed, hasn’t 2020 alerted you to that?
First they were crushed in 1999.
Then another death blow, in 2008.
Then in 2020.
Great quote. Derrick Jensen is a really interesting figure. I have most of his books.
His book, or pair of books called Endgame starts with his 20 premises
here from his website https://derrickjensen.org/endgame/premises/
From chapter “Premises”
Premise One: Civilization is not and can never be sustainable. This is especially true for industrial civilization.
Premise Two: Traditional communities do not often voluntarily give up or sell the resources on which their communities are based until their communities have been destroyed. They also do not willingly allow their landbases to be damaged so that other resources—gold, oil, and so on—can be extracted. It follows that those who want the resources will do what they can to destroy traditional communities.
Premise Three: Our way of living—industrial civilization—is based on, requires, and would collapse very quickly without persistent and widespread violence.
Premise Four: Civilization is based on a clearly defined and widely accepted yet often unarticulated hierarchy. Violence done by those higher on the hierarchy to those lower is nearly always invisible, that is, unnoticed. When it is noticed, it is fully rationalized. Violence done by those lower on the hierarchy to those higher is unthinkable, and when it does occur is regarded with shock, horror, and the fetishization of the victims.
Premise Five: The property of those higher on the hierarchy is more valuable than the lives of those below. It is acceptable for those above to increase the amount of property they control—in everyday language, to make money—by destroying or taking the lives of those below. This is called production. If those below damage the property of those above, those above may kill or otherwise destroy the lives of those below. This is called justice.
Premise Six: Civilization is not redeemable. This culture will not undergo any sort of voluntary transformation to a sane and sustainable way of living. If we do not put a halt to it, civilization will continue to immiserate the vast majority of humans and to degrade the planet until it (civilization, and probably the planet) collapses. The effects of this degradation will continue to harm humans and nonhumans for a very long time.
Premise Seven: The longer we wait for civilization to crash—or the longer we wait before we ourselves bring it down—the messier will be the crash, and the worse things will be for those humans and nonhumans who live during it, and for those who come after.
Premise Eight: The needs of the natural world are more important than the needs of the economic system.
Another way to put premise Eight: Any economic or social system that does not benefit the natural communities on which it is based is unsustainable, immoral, and stupid. Sustainability, morality, and intelligence (as well as justice) requires the dismantling of any such economic or social system, or at the very least disallowing it from damaging your landbase.
Premise Nine: Although there will clearly some day be far fewer humans than there are at present, there are many ways this reduction in population could occur (or be achieved, depending on the passivity or activity with which we choose to approach this transformation). Some of these ways would be characterized by extreme violence and privation: nuclear armageddon, for example, would reduce both population and consumption, yet do so horrifically; the same would be true for a continuation of overshoot, followed by crash. Other ways could be characterized by less violence. Given the current levels of violence by this culture against both humans and the natural world, however, it’s not possible to speak of reductions in population and consumption that do not involve violence and privation, not because the reductions themselves would necessarily involve violence, but because violence and privation have become the default. Yet some ways of reducing population and consumption, while still violent, would consist of decreasing the current levels of violence required, and caused by, the (often forced) movement of resources from the poor to the rich, and would of course be marked by a reduction in current violence against the natural world. Personally and collectively we may be able to both reduce the amount and soften the character of violence that occurs during this ongoing and perhaps longterm shift. Or we may not. But this much is certain: if we do not approach it actively—if we do not talk about our predicament and what we are going to do about it—the violence will almost undoubtedly be far more severe, the privation more extreme.
Premise Ten: The culture as a whole and most of its members are insane. The culture is driven by a death urge, an urge to destroy life.
Premise Eleven: From the beginning, this culture—civilization—has been a culture of occupation.
Premise Twelve: There are no rich people in the world, and there are no poor people. There are just people. The rich may have lots of pieces of green paper that many pretend are worth something—or their presumed riches may be even more abstract: numbers on hard drives at banks—and the poor may not. These “rich” claim they own land, and the “poor” are often denied the right to make that same claim. A primary purpose of the police is to enforce the delusions of those with lots of pieces of green paper. Those without the green papers generally buy into these delusions almost as quickly and completely as those with. These delusions carry with them extreme consequences in the real world.
Premise Thirteen: Those in power rule by force, and the sooner we break ourselves of llusions to the contrary, the sooner we can at least begin to make reasonable decisions about whether, when, and how we are going to resist.
Premise Fourteen: From birth on—and probably from conception, but I’m not sure how I’d make the case—we are individually and collectively enculturated to hate life, hate the natural world, hate the wild, hate wild animals, hate women, hate children, hate our bodies, hate and fear our emotions, hate ourselves. If we did not hate the world, we could not allow it to be destroyed before our eyes. If we did not hate ourselves, we could not allow our homes—and our bodies—to be poisoned.
Premise Fifteen: Love does not imply pacifism.
Premise Sixteen: The material world is primary. This does not mean that the spirit does not exist, nor that the material world is all there is. It means that spirit mixes with flesh. It means also that real world actions have real world consequences. It means we cannot rely on Jesus, Santa Claus, the Great Mother, or even the Easter Bunny to get us out of this mess. It means this mess really is a mess, and not just the movement of God’s eyebrows. It means we have to face this mess ourselves. It means that for the time we are here on Earth—whether or not we end up somewhere else after we die, and whether we are condemned or privileged to live here—the Earth is the point. It is primary. It is our home. It is everything. It is silly to think or act or be as though this world is not real and primary. It is silly and pathetic to not live our lives as though our lives are real.
Premise Seventeen: It is a mistake (or more likely, denial) to base our decisions on whether actions arising from these will or won’t frighten fence-sitters, or the mass of Americans.
Premise Eighteen: Our current sense of self is no more sustainable than our current use of energy or technology.
Premise Nineteen: The culture’s problem lies above all in the belief that controlling and abusing the natural world is justifiable.
Premise Twenty: Within this culture, economics—not community well-being, not morals, not ethics, not justice, not life itself—drives social decisions.
Modification of Premise Twenty: Social decisions are determined primarily (and often exclusively) on the basis of whether these decisions will increase the monetary fortunes of the decision-makers and those they serve.
Re-modification of Premise Twenty: Social decisions are determined primarily (and often exclusively) on the basis of whether these decisions will increase the power of the decision-makers and those they serve.
Re-modification of Premise Twenty: Social decisions are founded primarily (and often exclusively) on the almost entirely unexamined belief that the decision-makers and those they serve are entitled to magnify their power and/or financial fortunes at the expense of those below.
Re-modification of Premise Twenty: If you dig to the heart of it—if there were any heart left—you would find that social decisions are determined primarily on the basis of how well these decisions serve the ends of controlling or destroying wild nature.”
Spaingaroo, thanks for sharing that. Much food for thought there.
On your comments about solar water heating: Israel may be close to 100% – back in the ’90’s, there was passive solar on every roof. I assume by now they may have reached 100%
Yeah, we’re in a predicament all right.
Isn’t that the one for which there is no solution?
Regarding Kaz, we can see that the grand encirclement play was never really impacted by the covid gambit.
Ever since the US adopted a two theater posture, it seems many were confused that this implied actual physical fronts.
In reality, it meant that leadership could simultaneously conduct its various domestic management programs, while also fulfilling its objectives of gaining control over the world’s remaining stores of critical resources.
Jim is such a great writer; I wish he would elevate his game away from the narrow focus covid mania. This particular story arc is exhausted and has run out of new creative material.
The grand scheme is this beautifully elegant artifice of civilization as it faces a multitude of existential threats. Masks, jabs, mandates, etc are just one (small) facet. The other are the looming wars over remaining caches.
This is an incredible time to be alive, to actually witness history (if any remains) as it occurs. It deserves a broader perspective, one that incorporates all factors.
The challenge is not only to understand but also to lay bare the role of the covid op in the bigger game.
Covid certainly appears to be a tactic in the accomplishment of a larger strategy.
So, it is necessary to hit the [-] key, zoom out on the geopolitical worldmap to see where covid fits in.
And how the move has been played.
Martin Armstrong states in the interview linked upthread that he heard Klaus Schwab say that “there will be a virius.” I guess in September 2019, when the repo part of the game was going down.
It also looks like there are “colonial” factions that would be very happy to see effective secessionist movements in the USA. Cf. Stephen Marche, writing in The Guardian about his latest book.
Marche and Ian Masters, another Colonial, discuss openly that it maybe is time for the USA to break up: Civil War 2.0. Wouldn’t that be opportunistically convenient for the UK—just as in Civil War 1.0, when Britain was dependent on the South for cotton for its own industrial development via the textile industry.
An interesting little development here is that anti-royal feeling seems to be growing in both Canada and the UK. If Canada threw off the royal yoke, that would certainly change a lot of things, including Canada’s relationship to the USA.
NB: “Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is Queen of Canada and Head of State. The Governor General is the representative of The Queen in Canada.”
Along the lines of Colin Woodard’s American Nations and Joel Garreau’s Nine Nations of North America, such a change in Canada’s form of govt might jolt change in the USA, as northern regions might contemplate joining up with some contiguous areas of Canada.
.
“All factors” will be difficult for those who say “we will NOT have this man to reign over us”.
The broken giants will have to be replaced by lower-scaled systems for producing stuff, moving it, and selling it. That includes food, especially, by the way.
How are you going to be part of that where you live? By growing it.
What role can you imagine yourself in? Grower and useful member of the community.
What are you good at? All aspects of organic farming including small livestock, and creating and running farmers’ markets for other growers to sell their produce.
What do you dream of being good at? Writing. Can you assemble a social network for yourself? Yes, as long as I don’t become close friends with anybody in it. Like Blackbird, I have a tendency to lose friends. My fault mainly, as I tend to be too blunt / no filters. It doesn’t help that many of my old friends have turned covidian.
Do you have any ability to look after the public interest? I pick up trash from streams and the side of the road when nobody’s looking.
Can you speak coherently? No, but on good days I can write coherently.
Do you mean what you say? Every word of it. Are you grounded morally in right-and-wrong? Yes sir, I am. That wasn’t always the case, but my moral compass is in working order now, thank God.
Can others depend on you to keep your word? My word is all I have and I never say I’ll do anything I’m not fully prepared to do.
Happy New Year, Rulo!
I don’t know where I’ll fit into whatever crazy situation we’re being barreling toward, but I am a ‘people person’ and at least adequately good at a lot of things – mostly helping people. And organizing, and techie stuff. So we’ll see. Also, a new gardener who did quite well if I do say myself last summer (it was VERY hard – but rewarding – and I loved it).
Mary, likewise. Hope it’s a good year for you.
Those are all valuable skills. And you may have skills you don’t even know you have, yet.
I think it’s important to be nimble, ready to adapt.
Happy gardening!
SYstems are systems, I’ve discovered, whether on a computer or network or in a garden. And same with technological knowledge.
My garden was taxing and frustrating, but I never gave up. That is the most important thing I learned. Through 60 days of 100 degrees (unnatural) I managed to keep most of my garden alive and thriving. It was one of the hardest things ever. It was my first year having a big backyard garden and – it thrived. Not ’til August through November, but it thirived.
I learned so much. This year ought to be amazing.
Rulo, what replaces the broken giants? Great question, because they are broken, some parts maybe fixable, some irretrievably screwed and past-due for the scrap-heap.
Cambodia went through a prolonged period of death and destruction under the Khmer Rouge, the Cambodian genocide they call it, and I don’t think that’s an exaggeration. After the bloodletting was over, where about a quarter of the population died by disease or starvation or were murdered, they had to pick up the pieces but there were very few people left alive with the knowledge or experience, for example, to get a functioning government up and running.
Which is maybe an extreme example of how things can go extremely wrong in a period of revolution. Or maybe it isn’t. In any case, once the rubble stops bouncing you need to rebuild.
So, your question, how are you going to be a part of that? This is sort of a roundabout example but in my various business dealings and travels I met a foreign chap who was an official in his own country’s national tax service. He quit and went onto something else because he noticed that guys at his level (quite high up) retiring at age 65 lived to collect on average 18 monthly pension checks. Not good, so he got out out.
So what did he do? Cambodia was in a desperate fix, he had some wealth stashed away, plus some sources of consulting income, so he spent a few months of each year over there helping them rebuild a taxation system seeing as a country can’t go on without some kind of civilian administration and without tax revenue you can’t even do that, living and working in fairly dire conditions amid people who themselves were in dire condition ie orphaned as small kids, missing limbs from landmines, suffering the effects of severe malnourishment etc etc.
Anyway, I bring up that guy as an example of what people can do post-collapse even if they have no knowledge of basic survival skills like food growing, barrel making, black-smithing etc, using knowledge they had learned pre-collapse.
Cambodia went through as bad a collapse, if you can call it that, as can be, and then, post -Khmer Rouge and post-collapse, had to pick up and go on. I wonder how bad it will get on this side of the water, but regardless, the systems we have are on course to fail and will have to be either replaced, or in some cases done away with and not replaced, and while it will be counter-productive to try to replicate that which failed, at least we might have some people with some memory of what didn’t work, with some useful ideas therefore of what MIGHT work.
IOW we start with what knowledge base we have in all occupations, like that of my acquaintance the taxation official, and then we improvise. As FDR said, we try something and if it doesn’t work, we try something else.
Proton, those were Mr K’s question, from the essay. I couldn’t resist answering them.
That’s remarkable, that you decided to go help using your own time and resources, all the way to Cambodia. Speaks well of you, and I’m sure it accrued you some good karma.
“I pick up trash from streams and the side of the road when nobody’s looking.”
Why when nobody’s looking?
I pick up a ton of trash along my regular walking route, which is out along the harbor. There is a trash bin at the harbor access for boaters, so I take the trash there.
I often get a thumbs-up from motorists.
I used to feel a bit shame-faced about doing this—like, what? Am I some kind of bag lady?
Recently, though, there was a piece in one of our local life-style rags about this very topic of picking up others’ trash. Apparently those in the know have noticed that there is less trash on the beaches when they do the annual spring cleanup. The inference is that people are actually picking up a lot of trash all year round.
About a week ago I noticed a huge pile of beer cans and other trash in the brush near a parking lot on one of our near-town beaches on the ouiter harbor. People park down there to drink after work, and they throw their cans and empty snack bags into the area fenced off for piping plovers. I decided to come back with my car and clear it out, also when better dressed for the job (lots of thorny rosa rugosa). But when I returned a few days later someone else had cleaned it up.
IMO clearing up trash is one of the easiest and most effective things one can do for the total environment. It also sets a good example to others who might otherwise feel funny about doing this.
Our society and way of living generates way too much trash. You’re lucky, seeing less in your neck of the woods. Here, my wife and I have noticed an increase.
When nobody’s looking… it’s just that I’m usually out at the springs in the early am, when there’s nobody there.
Didn’t Malcom X say in the 1960’s that “the chickens were coming home to roost” because of the Vietnam War?
I think that they shot Malcom X and then blamed it on the black Mu…slims? They whacked Ngo Dinh Diem just three weeks before they whacked JFK in Dallas on November 22, 1963.
Covid 19 is a Big PsyOp, right?
It all got started in Vietnam and now the chickens have come home to roost?

“The philosophy is basically what we call intercommunalism– we’re not nationalists, we don’t believe in nationalism. Nationalism or nationhood is… akin to superiority, is akin to racism…” ~ Bobby Seale
“Patriotism is, as we know, the last refuge of a scoundrel. Now we’re talking about real scoundrels, like Nixon.” ~ Gore Vidal
“Communists and anarchists are working for the same eventual goal of a society without hierarchy. In one way communism and anarchy are pretty much the same concept: a stateless, classless society in which no one rules over others. Communists just believe that hierarchical means (the state, perhaps ruled by a Communist vanguard) can be used in the transition to this end, while anarchists believe in using only non-hierarchical, decentralized means.
As an anarchist my personal opinion is that the ends don’t justify the means, and that only non-hierarchical organization can bring about a successful revolution to a non-hierarchical society. I just don’t think it’s very realistic that any government, Communist or not, would voluntarily step down from power. Communists, on the other hand, don’t think it’s very realistic to manage a revolution in a completely decentralized, non-authoritarian manner.” ~ Eleutherios at revleft
What happened in the Soviet Union in 1920 and Spain in 1937 is Anarchists and Communists travelled the same road in The Struggle — fellow travelers if you will — but as soon as the Communists got the upper hand they turned around and crushed their Anarchist allies, and crushed them in a most brutal and bloody fashion. Orwell lays it all out nicely in ‘Homage to Catalonia.’
The natural social disposition of the human appears as relatively anarchic bands and tribes, perhaps villages to a point. Once over those sizes, results may vary.
The State is likely a passing phase in our evolution and is currently crushing itself as it has done so historically apparently.
Oh well.
And one of the tasks of the NKVD hit squads Stalin dispatched across Europe, America and Mexico in the 1930s and 1940s was to assassinate prominent Anarchists, who he saw as rivals to the Bolsheviks in World Revolution.
BRH, they had brutal internal struggles & vendettas during the Spanish Civil War. They’d unite against both the Fascists and the Bourgeois democrats in their own Republican side, but the rest of the time they were murdering each other.
The red flag and the black flag…
A world without hierarchies is a pipe-dream. The demonstrable failure of communism and, in albeit briefer iterations, anarchy has been and will always be due to the fact that all men are not created equal. For that, blame God, Darwin, or both.
As hierarchies are torn down, new ones are raised up in the same moment – even if only who is best at tearing down and breaking windows. Of course they are more organized than that, certainly this time they are and they have a very strict Hierarchy already in place behind the scenes.

‘Parable of Violent Tribe — Spread of Violence’

“You crave what you do not have; you kill and covet, but are unable to obtain it. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask. And when you do ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures. You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world [
emulating wickedness – bloodthirsty ] renders himself an enemy of God…”
Who said anything about an entire world without hierarchies?
If or when this current setup collapses sufficiently, humans might find themselves back to square one and rather detached and remote from, say, the folks on their screens at JHK’s virtual house.
Maybe we can start writing letters.
This might assume we have functioning postal systems, even if merely equipped with horseback ridership, sailboats couriers and general messengers. Might take awhile, but many processes, where remaining, will likely be slowed down anyway.
Communists are much smarter than their idealist anarchist dupes. BLM or Black Nationalism will turn on their antifa servants.
As Erdogan said of democracy, one can say of communism. It is a bus. You have to know where to get off. Mao is now just another one of the Chinese Emperors. If it wasn’t always about Chinese hegemony, it is now. BLM is about Black grift by and large. For the truly sincere, it is about Black supremacy. Only a very sick White would get involved in that. But countless dupes actually believe they believe in equality.
Many, such as perhaps Communists, appear to want to control nature (which includes people), which is, ultimately, daft. We will likely see in the coming decades how daft.
I’ll qualify my above with controlling nature in, say, certain ways and beyond some kinds of tipping-points. Obviously we all have to ‘control nature’ to some extents.
Should US “Special Ops” personnel be allowed to deploy overseas on combat missions with their Sexbots?

I don/t know that there is any such thing as “the natural disposition,” since that is a moving target always influenced by evolution.
I think the relevant factor is the speed of contemporary social evolution—we see it now in less than a generation. It used to take maybe a hundred generations, maybe twenty, maybe ten, then five, now, just one-half!— for things to change in human societies.

Couple of observations re evolution
Two identical twins
One sent into space for a year
Second stayed on the ground and went about business.
The first returned and he was no longer an identical twin to his brother, certain parts of his genetic structure dealing with space items such as weightlessness had altered. Not only that, when he was back, they reverted, but not all of them.
Another observation. If you move from Minnesota to Arizona, the heat is unbearable in the summer. However, after a few years, the heat becomes more tolerable and you become chilled at 65 degrees. Your metabolism changes in reaction to the environment.
Genetic change within a generation!

That would fit my hypothesis that they are trying to break/brake the economy for various reasons, such as WRT environmental-impacts and diminishing energy returns on energies invested.
“Genetic change within a generation? ”
No.
Good points taken and am inclined to agree.
I’ll admit that I was less-than-satisfied with that term.
Given our potential similar wave, perhaps you might be inclined to agree too that there might be dangers with adapting to some kinds of environmental pressures.

Jarek: I hate Ji-Young, the Asian American muppet. As Tucker says, muppets aren’t supposed to have ethnicity or nationalist. That’s the whole point. Since the point is lost, why not have White muppets getting mugged by Black muppets? Or Ji-Young getting knocked out by one? Especially since they hired this muppet because of anti-Asian bigotry by Trump supporters, lol.

“Conspiracy theory” turned reality, again.
Australia being Australia – a land of convicts – we’re pretty slack about it.
For most private businesses (McDonald’s etc) you’re supposed to scan the QR-Code and show your Green Tick. But nobody checks that you do, except some upscale places. . Most people scan, and a very high percentage have their Vax Tick anyway.
They’re more strict in public places (government agencies, medical facilities, libraries, aged care, etc) and they expect to see a green tick at the door.
Thank you for confirming, Nazi.
Your infantile paranoia is just so cute. You – and the other two village idiots.
It’s literally on video, numbnuts.
LOL.
(1) Make a list of the people who agree, grosso modo with the ‘village idiots’.
(2) Put it right beside the list of people who agree, grosso modo with you.
(3) Stare at it and weep big troll tears.
Are you missing Redneck Liberal, troll?
I personally hope RL is OK and hasn’t succumbed to anything. RL is just deluded, not a troll, in my opinion.
I guess McDonald’s is considered upscale.
@ianw, just curious, but what part of Australia do you base that on?
McDonald’s finally supporting people’s health by giving out less of their crappy ‘food’. That crap is almost as unhealthy as the shots they push. Why does anyone still go there? A key step towards freedom is providing your own food, or at boycotting corporate chain fast food.
The last time I went to a McDs was about 20 yrs ago. I used to like a bit of ketchup on the Big Mac. So I opened opened the BigM, was about to dump some ketchup on it, looked at the contents and had a revelation, that this wasn’t meat, not as normal people understand it, how could it be, it smelled foul, and didn’t look like meat. Maybe it was some beef goop, or who knows what animal. I can’t remember if I ate the damn thing, knowing me, having spent the money, I likely did.
Never been back. Nowadays if we want burgers we buy ground meat, yeah I know, nobody who sees the inside of a meat processing plant will buy ground meat, but it sure beats eating that who-knows-what in that Big Mac.
And you save a lot of money and it tastes better. And McDonalds restaurants smell just awful with that thick miasma billowing out. Blech!
It’s not even food in the sense we understand it. It’s fat, salt, sugar, mystery meats and chemical flavorings, subtly engineered to make it addictive.
Like Proton, gave it up years ago, about the same time I took the tv to the dumpster. Good riddance to both.

Thanks, but it isn’t about being right. And there are many who know far more than I do. The criminals write and talk about many aspects of the agenda quite openly.
Many cannot accept it because they think that modern society has moved beyond the evils of the past.

Night Owl wrote (again): “Prove there is overpopulation”
okay, i’ll work on a post on this (if nobody beats me to it) dust off facts n figures
of course the basic questions are whether you believe fossil fuel energy is replaceable somehow (article of raw, unsupported faith if so), and what kind of lifestyle you see humans living a century, two, three, four down the line
You’re so upset you moved the discussion down thread.
Just prove it for us, then you can show us how superior you are.
Remember, hard evidence that would constitute proof in a court of law.
relax. i will prove it in a way that’s sufficient for myself, and you can do what you want with it.
also, i apologize for any suggestion you shouldn’t follow this blog, not my intent at all
but not for suggesting that if you do, you should probably get a little fluent in its author’s most prominent book, at least eventually…all i meant to suggest
I am quite relaxed, the burden of proof is on you.
I cannot “prove” overpopulation—in fact, this point is one of contention among various stripes of green.
For a while I was on the side of thinking that the overpopulation line was being used to justify social engineering that I totally do not support, and overpopulation is not the problem.
I still do not support topdown social engineering, a la Schwab and digitalization of human beings. etc.
But this doesn’t mean that therefore there is no issue with human populations overshootoing the carrying capacity for their species on planet earth. Human business as usual is clearly killing the planet. You can say it is capitalism that is killing the planet, and this may be true. So, what will replace it? The Great Reset is obviously designed as one such replacement, intended to establish some kind of stasis.
The arguments to me are persuasive that we are in a “bottleneck” (see William R. Catton, Bottleneck: Humanity’s Impending IMpasse, https://www.amazon.com/Bottleneck-Humanitys-Impending-Impasse/dp/1441522247). I haven’t yet read this, as I am still working my way through Derrick Jensen, Bright Green Dreams, and Catton, Overshoot.
I am also reading up on the basic issues of energy inputs and human society: E.g., Gail Tverberg. Also, e.g., Tim Morgan of Surplus Energy Economics (https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/about/).Unfortunately, those who discuss these energy issues rationally are nowadays labeled right-wingers.Where Martin Armstrong analyzes capital flows to detect underlying realities, Tverberg and Morgan analyze energy flows and availability.
How are we going to get out of this without being compressed into a terrifying worldwide totalitarian system?
So far, the prognoses are poor because the diagnoses of the problem (we just need more green energy) are incorrect.
Catton’s “Overshoot” is excellent and completely free from hyperbole; the one book that finally drove the point home for me. I’ll have to check out “Humanity’s Impending Impasse.”
Overpopulation isn’t something that’s needs to be proven. It just is. Even just as a practical matter, reducing our numbers from the current 8B or so just makes good sense and improves quality of life for everyone. We “manage” other invasive species all the time for their own good (often poorly), but what we can clearly see in others, we’re unable to see and think logically about in our own. Catton makes both of those points well, with the addendum that we can go ahead and ignore the problem if we like, but in that case it will be managed FOR us in rather less comfortable ways whether we like it or not.
Most of the axioms of science are still in theory stage with absolute proof never to be done.
Evolution is one.
I can make a statement though.
A time coincident term for the Great Reset might be the Great Extinction.
Our fellow species are dying off today at a rate never before seen, and the reason is the same worldwide, being crowded out.
Urbanization is killing the planet. Crowding, too little personal space, causes disease.
War, the battle for resources, is approaching.
The acceleration of the wind belts in the atmosphere measured as jet stream speed and storm intensity are indicators of the increasing flux from increasing temperature variation from pole to tropics. Global warming is happening, whether it is all AGW is a huge question. Are the four horsemen saddling up?
So here goes, adaptation. Can Man adapt to the changes that are occurring? If not, overpopulation exists right now.
If so, what will we have? A hotter planet with arable land in the northern hemisphere shifted north into Canada, Siberia, and Alaska. Antarctica iceless and settled? Below freezing temps non existent on earth? It has happened before. Can Man adapt to this kind of world? Desertification of much of the current temperate zone. Who knows what will happen in the tropics.
Is this the kind of world that will be earth designed for Man. Will the only remaining animal species left be ones that serve man? Will the planet pretty much be sterilized by the advance of a continuously increasing horde of humankind? With only humans remaining?
Is that what is intended for Gaia?
Or will natural laws or the will of a Supreme Being step in and swat the human contagion destroying the planet?
plastic is what concerns me.
how many tons a year are made?
I watched a video on youtube about microplastics and basically they were saying that recent studies are showing that certain species of bacteria have developed enzymes that are breaking down microplastics effectively. Also they have found that corals are starting to adapt to ocean plastic and cover discarded plastic objects.
Malthus, re plastic
I think oil is required to make plastic.
Perhaps we should start to think about conserving plastic . . .

Informing ALL energy discussion is the Pentagon suppression and sequestration of zero-point energy:
https://siriusdisclosure.com/energy/
The sequestration began with JP Morgan blackballing Nikola Tesla, after he presented the discovery of this abundant and non-meterable energy source, which would have disrupted the Wall Street energy-profit motive-economic model.
Rather than release the technological means of harvesting this energy source for the betterment of humanity, the energy profiteers have successfully kept it on lock-down, under Pentagon unacknowledged special access programs.
However, the few of us who know the TRUTH remain dedicated to developing this true science for the betterment of humanity, NOT their destruction.

“The Great Reset is obviously designed as one such replacement, intended to establish some kind of stasis.”
I disagree on that. I think it is simply the implementation of a long-planned system of control. No more international red tape and regulations to block the extraction of wealth, simply monopolization of all things of value, and the containment of the serf class and the destruction of institutions that stand in their way.
They have found nearly the perfect Trojan Horses in the Green agenda and the fake virus.
And when powerful people talk about paring down the population in 2022, I have a good idea of what part of the population they would like to pare down.
They are already paring it down with the shots.
Mike Yeadon was on the Corona-Ausschuss this week, and the evidence for pre-meditated mass murder is jaw-dropping.
“No more international red tape and regulations to block the extraction of wealth, simply monopolization of all things of value”
In Session 86 of the SCA/CIC, Ernst Wolff explained how they will even take your house that you think is safe because you’ve fully paid for it. Once they’ve removed money, you can be made to forfeit your house to pay for your fines for not getting vaxxed – or anything else.
For those who do get vaxxed – and don’t last too long – as I’ve surmised before, they will just need to declare that inheritance is anti-social and slap a 100% inheritance tax on your kids.
Job done. As Catherine Austin Fitts would say, welcome to the company store.
The troll thinks he will escape this, which is amusing.
Whether one believes the planet is overpopulated or not right now, to me, seems inconsequential.
Agree with you 100%. THE MAIN ISSUE: They want to enslave us, globally.
They are obviously killing us off as much as possible and their plan for the survivors is a dystopian techno-feudalism.
It is obvious to anyone paying attention.
If China is any example, reducing population is no easy task; Great Leap Forward famine and mass murder 1958-1965 killed off an estimated 50 million people, CCP 1 Child Policy 1985-2015 prevented perhaps 400 million Chinese from being born.
Here’s an example of a powerful government with no limits on its coercive methods, still, China’s population stands now at 1.4 billion. I suppose you can say without the above cited aktion China’s population would be even larger. Demographics is a strange science, India has in fact exceeded China in the number of people living within its borders.
I remember reading The Population Bomb back in the day. Predictions were dire with it all coming to a head c2000, which was doomsday. Many conscientious white families took the warning seriously and had one child or no children at all. Meanwhile, Jose and Maria were coming up across the Rio Grand with 10 kids in tow, and the Federal Welfare Dept. cooked up a program that paid an extra stipend for every kid an unwed mother could pump out ‘In de hood’. The results were predictable.
You are very wise indeed.
…and now the far enlightened are witnessing the human sorting from a localized country flanking position, where the population of deer, bluebirds, hummingbirds, and butterflies represent the majority of biological life, with girded, local regenerative food, energy, and water supply chains, coordinated local self-defense, and modest, high efficiency housing accommodations set on acreage.
Those who chose a McMansion existence, reliant upon central food, energy, and water supply chains, with no coordinated self-defense, and who cannot imagine living in the aforementioned existence, are rapidly receiving that which they imagined, and becoming the tragic and proverbial Darwinian statistic.
“Life’s Tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.”
-Ben Franklin
GODSPEED!!
CCP 1 Child Policy 1985-2015 prevented perhaps 400 million Chinese from being born.
uh, no..a needle thru the heart is premediated murder.
and US tax dollars paid for it.
wake up.
USA 1965 12 million ‘joggers’…LBJ fed and house and invited more and bingo…42 million joggers in USA.
Needle thru the heart.
I wasn’t aware of that, but it doesn’t surprise me.
Over-population is seen in given ecosystems all the time. Where I lived, just south of Boston, every so many years, the skunk population would explode. You’d be smelling them every summer night, all summer long. Almost stepping on them if you walked down the street at night. Then the next year – nothing. Their population crashed, probably either disease or shortage of food.
This same pattern is very visible in deer, especially in the absence of enough predators. Some people think its humane to allow human population to keep growing until we have to have a massive die off due to disease or starvation. I think it’s animalistic. The really human and humane thing would be to stop before we get to that level. But it looks as if our human predators are going to do it for us.
Catholic apologists usually rave about how the Earth could support ten times as many people. Quite possibly – but only under Globalist control which they are against. BUT THEN WHAT? What happens at that point, when you have gone to the limit, and have no slack left at all? They imagine that it this wouldn’t happen for centuries or millenia, ignoring how fast we went from a few hundred million to eight billion. It would happen especially fast if we ignored birth control as they so fervently desire.
“CCP 1 Child Policy 1985-2015 prevented perhaps 400 million Chinese from being born.”
If it were about overpop., the policy would still be in place.
Common sense. It ain’t common.

So why was the restriction mandated in the first place?
Why was it ended? Maybe they had good information that a lot of real estate was about to open up in the former West.
Yes, for all sides.
It does not exist.
On purpose.
For Night Owl
Proof
Proof of what?
How does one prove the earth cannot sustain its population at present?
Perhaps you will answer. It would be refreshing.
Night Owl
I was responding to your statement way back about the need for proof to stand up in a court of law.
That proof will never happen, it is constantly being blocked. On purpose!
By all sides.
You ask how to prove that earth cannot sustain our current population.
Easy, let Biden and his crew keep going with the GND. When oil is $150 and gas is $10, we will see what happens.
Another option, keep loading up the cities with immigrants. Crime and disease will start taking their toll, especially when the Deep State idiots run out of money.
The Green revolution plus the invention of internal combustion farm machinery and oil and gas based fertilizers have enabled the septupaling of the population. Without oil, we are toast.
Earth cannot sustain the concentration of wealth within the 0.0001%.
…a great correction is coming, which not even pandemics, injections, floods, wildfires, and asteroids can prevent.
okay, i’ll work on a post on this (if nobody beats me to it) dust off facts n figures
Why put in the effort to feed the idiot – he’s just trolling. Always demanding proof from others, but never provides any himself.
You are also free to provide proof, Cargill.
Don’t let us down, now.
Why put in the effort to feed the idiot – he’s just trolling. Always demanding proof from others, but never provides any himself. -village idiot
Some serious projection occurring in the above post sport!
I think there’s overpopulation. We may be reaching a plateau. Developed countries went into negative growth years ago (massive influx of 3rd world migrants w high fertility rates kept pop growing though). The 3rd world may be slowing down and may plateau or even decrease soon, according to some.
The main discussion is consumption, though. Earth overshoot day comes earlier each year. I think we’re at what, 1.7 Earths consumed per annum, meaning we’re wiping out more than the Earth will have time to replenish sooner and sooner each yr.
So population and consumption. Say a European eats 10 pigs a year, and an Asian, 1 pig a year. The latter’s standard of living is lower, but there’s 10 Asians for every European, so consumption amounts to the same. Say there’s 20 Asians per, then they’re placing a higher burden on the environment even though they consume less. Add to the mix the fact that the whole world wants American or European standards of living, the pressure is intense.
Every place in Asia, Latin America or North Africa I’ve been to more than once, with a decade or two in between, showed massive population growth and the corresponding effects: more pollution, resource depletion, deforestation for industrial ag or dwellings, so yes, in my opinion there is overpopulation, big time. In fact it’s THE problem, as many other issues stem from this, and would not be problems at all if there were a lot less of us. The transhumanist poster here, mitchell, is all for extermination of vast numbers. I cannot think along those lines. Everyone who’s here has a right to be here, and nobody has a right to decide who lives or dies. With that in mind, my approach, besides the obvious encouragement for birth control, would be
1- much reduced consumption across the board, rich countries and poor.
2- a Marshall plan to empty slums and suburbs and move people to small farms to be worked using strictly organic methods.
Just my 2¢, a bit discombobulated. Too much to say about this issue.
So if everyone is moved out to the land, with each getting a small piece, that means that they won’t have water, sewer and electricity, right?
Because trying to lay pipes and lines across the whole damn country, to a house every 40 acres, would be impossible, not to mention environmentally destructive.
I mentioned before that my uncle lived on a patch of land in Oregon with no running water, indoor plumbing or electricity.
He and his wife both died in their 40s.
It soiund as though you live in a city!
In the country people have their own wells. we used to have cesspools—dug or own!—but now, septic systems.
However, septic systems still put nitrogen into the ground, whence it seeps into ponds, etc. On the coast, development around water bodies in the past 20 years has significantly polluted coastal and other ponds.
Not sure whether the waste problem is solved with composting toilets and avoiding use of detergents etc. that also pollute.
Of course the biggest polluters are industrial, Big Ag, and transportation. The biggest eco-destroyers are probably mines, energy installations such as power lines and, now, Big Wind.
Re moving populations around, some of the totalitarians have forcibly resettled people from cities into the countryside. Others now want to go the other way: Forcibly resettle peasants in cities and return their land to nature. The food to be grown in high-tech sky scrapers. Inlcuding probably the cricket farms for producing the insect “Brei.”
No forced resettlements plans in eiher direction are, IMO, acceptable.
Also suspect: The “We have to feed billions of people” type of thinking. WhoTF is “we”? Most of these “we’s” have never even grown a tomato or a single item of their own food. This is unconscious WEF type thinking of people who reveal by their language that they see themselves as a member of the Uber-planning-technocrats making top-down decisions for the rest of us, including how to “feed us,” as if citizens were infants. Fuck off!
I live in the country and have a septic system.
I also have electricity, piped-in water, natural gas and wifi.
I grow tomatoes, but I don’t think I can survive on them.
No. 2 sounds like a replay of the the Pol Pot plan.
A quote from wiki “they immediately evacuated the cities, and sent the entire population on forced marches to rural work projects. They attempted to rebuild the country’s agriculture on the model of the 11th century,
I can’t see the Walmart crowd or the wokesters working a hoe in the hot sun to raise their own food.
Paula & stelmo’s both have valid objections. I’ll try to answer them, but suggest both keep in mind what the alternative seems to be. According to some on this forum, “kill them all”
Sewers are not a necessary condition for sanitation in rural settings. Rural dwellings generally are not connected to sewer systems. Septic fields are used instead, and they are effective in protecting aquifers if done right. There’s also composting toilets and many methods to treat human manure, including to the point where it’s safe to use as fertilizer, doesn’t smell, etc. I don’t do it, but it’s possible. Water usually comes from a well, not from pipes. Again, you’re thinking in urban terms, not rural. So, no, Paula, nobody would have to lay pipes across the countryside.
Yes, the plan sounds crazy a la Pol Pot. In my vision (and I’m a nobody, I don’t count), I envision financial and tax incentives, ownership of land, maybe guaranteed markets. All on a voluntary basis. But so attractive, compared to dismal conditions is decaying, derelict and crime ridden cities, many would take the opportunity for a new life.
And yes, the average 21st century citizen is hopelessly addicted, out of shape, and would make a very inadequate farmer. But people can change. One powerful reason to change would be to learn of the cities’ collapse and to realize one’s made the right decision and survived by starting a new life, and there’s no way back.
I don’t know much. I know I hate talk about mass murder. Visceral repugnance towards those who say “yes, the rulers are justified in introducing a killer virus, or a killer vax, because we’re running out resources”. Indeed we’re running out of resources, and there’s too many of us. So, any better ideas?
Water usually comes from a well, not from pipes. Again, you’re thinking in urban terms, not rural. So, no, Paula, nobody would have to lay pipes across the countryside.
But as Paula says – if you start increasing rural density (a house every 40 acres, or even 400 acres), you’re soon going to have a lot of dry wells. And that’s even before you start needing large quantitates of water for anything other than dry-land cropping.
Even the vast Ogallala Aquifer of the Great Plains is being depleted at a serious rate.
I think there’s overpopulation. We may be reaching a plateau. Developed countries went into negative growth years ago (massive influx of 3rd world migrants w high fertility rates kept pop growing though).
Of course the problem is over-population, and the over-consumption of finite resources, plus the polluting and degrading of the environment.
And yes – population growth in the developed nations has been ever-increasingly through immigration from the developing world.
I recall once being part of a delegation that hosted the Bangladesh national cricket team in Darwin (population about 132,000) – as we stood on a balcony at sunset, looking out over the city’s parklands, the players were amazed. They simply couldn’t comprehend the lack of people in an urban setting.
Back in about 1912, a prominent geographer at the University of Sydney observed that Australia’s population might be 20 million by the year 2000. He was virtually run out of town – the leaders of the new nation saw themselves heading for 200 million by then – a mini-America.
The geographer was almost exactly correct – and it’s now 25 million.
The carrying capacity of Australia has been guesstimated at 12 million, but I think that’s even pushing it. There’s a lot of land here, but it is fragile, dry, and nutrient-depleted.
Overpopulation, imo, is the basis of the greatest issues we are facing. Although there’s not a specific number that I’m aware of that defines overpopulation, it seems common sense dictates when there’s too many people. When lab rats are placed in an overcrowded population, they often develop mental and physical problems, and can become violent. Sound familiar?
Because of technological progress through the ages, the planet has become urbanized. That leads to areas of very dense population, while leaving much more area apparently relatively empty. Fly cross-country and see that effect, which explains why many people don’t even think about there being too many people. But life is very messy and we leave a lot of our by-products over the Earth. Emotional, mental, climatic and environmental pollution result.
At some point nature has had enough and acts to reduce our numbers. It’s kind of a self-regulating mechanism, and that’s why a certain percentage of our population has to go (if not all of us).
Looking at the big picture, the pandemic is just one of nature’s ways to lower our population even though humans may have originated it. And it’s inevitable.
there is no pandemic.
show me that an extra 10 million americans died in 2020. they didnt.
this is not the spanish flu or black plague.
‘they’ have redefined the official meaning of the term pandemic.
United States
Covid-19 pandemic deaths – 837,000 (and counting), while Spanish Flu pandemic deaths 650.000.
But what is your point in denying the use of the word “pandemic”?
The statistics are totally fabricated. I guess that would be the point, eh?
Dis
“The statistics are totally fabricated.”
The conclusions aren’t legitimate.
The PTB do not want the data collected to form any statistics to form conclusion.
The only thing that might count are time trends, changes with time. Everything else is someone’s opinion.
You can’t really do that, you now … reject as illegitimate all the data and stats you don’t like.
You are right.
Pandemics are defined by mortality rates, until now.
This pandemic is defined by new cases incidences.
The mortality rate is so low with Covid that only the politicization of the situation has created the fear of a “pandemic”.
Seems this could be leading back to “it’s not the virus, it’s the vaxx” territory.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGFXGwHsD_A
This pandemic is defined by new cases incidences.
I thought the definition was quite straightforward – a pandemic is when the virus is occurring in a very large number of countries. In other words the horse has bolted.
If there is an outbreak of Ebola in Chad, it’s an epidemic only.
The definition is not straightforward. It used to be a function of number of countries affected and number of deaths. So the WHO changed the definition to exclude any requirement for deaths to be high, in order to have covid declared a pandemic.
The definition of ‘vaccine’ was also changed. The criteria for approving a gene therapy are stricter than for a vaccine. Hence they called a gene therapy a vaccine when it isn’t.
Insectoids can live in very, very dense populations and thrive but that doesn’t seem to work very well for mammals.
“Looking at the big picture, the pandemic is just one of nature’s ways to lower our population even though humans may have originated it”
This is why you are triple clot-shotted.

It is a fact that crowding of any species, plant or animal, enhances the ability of micro organisms to adapt to attack, ie cause disease.
Ponderosa pines, for example, too close together, enhances the pine bark beetle and their die off. The American elm was planted too much by pioneers eventually causing Dutch Elm disease.
Try this, I will not argue about Covid specifically, but any disease will be created and amplified by a loss of personal space. Think of the primary centers of Covid transmission, the cities.
Maybe IAN is partially right, the die offs will be in the cities.
Exactly where it needs to happen.
John…….. I hate to break it to you But……………..
This Is Bull Shit……………….
“The American elm was planted too much by pioneers eventually causing Dutch Elm disease.”
Really ??????????????
“Dutch elm disease is caused by three species of ascomycete fungi in the genus Ophiostoma. One of these, O. ulmi (also known as Ceratocystis ulmi), was probably introduced into Europe from Asia during World War I. The disease was first identified in the United States in 1930.
And NO Less For the Chestnut Tree too………….
“Cryphonectria parasitica is a parasitic fungus of chestnut trees. This disease came to be known as chestnut blight. Naturally found in South East Asia, accidental introductions led to invasive populations of C. parasitica in North America and Europe. The fungal disease has had a devastating economic and social impact on communities in the eastern United States. In the first half of the 20th century it killed an estimated four billion trees”
Always From Asia…………….. Always
(I worked as a log-loader/hauler, In an area that produces the Finest “Hardwood Timber”, in the world.)
Wilber’s
So you are saying that the overcrowding of trees like pines, elms, chestnuts and lately sugar maples does not enhance the spread of disease? Whether insects, fungus or bacterial the closeness of trees allows branch to branch contact that helps the disease jump from tree to tree. Another thing that does not help is the uniformity of forests, so one trees destruction can level the forest. Colorado is getting absolutely clobbered right now with its ponderosa and pinyon pines dying, the trees denuding back to the trunks and nature’s removal method, wildfire.
You are right though, human interaction from continent to continent spreads disease for all species.
So you are saying that the overcrowding of trees like pines, elms, chestnuts and lately sugar maples does not enhance the spread of disease?
He’s not saying one way or the other JAZ because he totally failed to address the point you made. Like 80% of the MAGA tinfoil hats on here, they don’t really read and consider anyone’s points.
To be generous, they have really lousy comprehension skills, and are jumping at shadows all the time, inferring all sorts of stuff that isn’t actually there, but missing whole arguments at the same time.
But more often, they are so fixed on their cultish beliefs that any slight criticism or deviation is seen as a hanging offence.
See The Burn the Witch Scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail for how it works..
The execrable Night Owl is the worst at this – but Wilbur went off half-cocked on something he knows a little about.
But as usual, a wildly irrelevant strawman, not addressing even remotely the points being made – but they believe they have knocked you out with a zinger. Amazing and amusing.
That Right there is Some really
Hilarious stuff Mr Troll………… !!
So, Let me ask you this Ianw……….
How many Million board feet of timber,
North American Hardwood timber to be exact
Have you, cut, and or hauled or seen in its Natural habitat ??????????
Say anything you want………..
I personally couldn’t give a “Flying fuck”
What you think about me ………..
You (Ianw) are just another Feckless Cunt,
Who doesn’t even know as much about the hardwood
Forest industry……. Then most of the men I worked with
have forgotten.
No John, that was not what I was saying
“So you are saying that the overcrowding of trees like pines, elms, chestnuts and lately sugar maples does not enhance the spread of disease?”
Pines, yes. Everywhere the state of NY, replanted pines
On the old wore out ground in the 30’s
That were never thinned, they had issues………….
Hardwood forests ………. Never, Ever.
Elms, chestnuts, maples even the hemlock now…. NO.
Have you ever seen the pictures of the chestnuts in the
Appalachian mts before the Blight ????
Massive trees…….. 6 to 8 feet thru the bases…… Hundreds of yrs old
Elm trees, 7 feet thru, 40 feet to the first limb, 150 to 200 yrs old……..
Never had an issue till when…????
The hard maple, grew here for a thousand yrs,
Now all of a sudden its got a blight ????
Even the hemlock (Yes its considered a “Hardwood”)
Has got an “Asian” Blight, which they
are now inoculating the trees in Penn. for…………
Have you stood in,
Stands of Sugar Maples, 4 to 6 feet thru,
That have been in constant use as a sugar bush
for almost as long as 200 yrs………..
This country had NO, known blights in its hardwoods
till the chestnut blight arrived here
in the early part of 1900.
Again I ask, as a resident of a state that has
6 (Six) Million acres of “State Owned”
Forests (Not federal, State), A man that has lived the forestry
and sawmill life……..
How many, Million, board feet, of timber
have you cut, hauled and even sawed ???
I’m not trying to be Pissy here John,
I’m not trying to be a “Know it all”
But, When something is said………
That has Absolutely NO facts to back it up
I call it, as I see It.
Just stating the facts
A “lil” follow up story about chestnut trees
20 or so yrs ago, a large, chestnut was cut in one of the
southern NY forests, ………
the cutter didn’t know what it was, the hauler didn’t………
The log scaler in the yard didn’t……
But the head sawyer in the mill (Old Man) owned by Cotton Hanlon
knew immediately what it was when it hit the carriage………
It was a crime that it was ever cut……
the blight, lives in the roots, not killing the tree
Till it gets to a certain size (3 to 4 inches)
Ever once in a while, they will find one, that makes it to maturity.
Bill, most of the doomsday predictions made by Paul Erlich in The Population Bomb (1968) did not pan out, i.e. famine and mass die off by 1985, resource scarcety inspired nuclear war by 2000 etc. When Erlich and his wife wrote The Population Bomb the population of the world was about half of what it is now.
IMHO any talk about ‘Reducing the Population’ is dangerous and will lead to nothing good. I’ve predicted that the more radical environmentalists and Climate Cranks will eventually arrive exactly at this solution for global warming, reduce the population by any means necessary.
BRH
I think all prophets want things to indicate change quickly so that they are believed.
Remember Al Gore in 2000, and his followers since. There are feedback mechanisms in all natural cycles that slow change.
That is why JHK, Peak oil is important. We can measure the decline in production and the amount of demand to see and forecast oil. Oil will decline at a projected rate. JHK projected 2100 as the end times for affordable oil.
I believe he is an optimist, if we make it to 2050, I will be surprised.
The AGW boys and girls WILL have their way FF wise, oil anyway, then gas, then coal. The GND though will be catastrophic.
I think all prophets want things to indicate change quickly so that they are believed.
I agree – particularly for doomsayers.
While I believe we are on a very long slope to the Olduvai Gorge, I am a gradualist. All claim that things will happen quickly are cotton candy, in my view.
Whether it be oil depletion, the WEF Reset, Civil War 2.0, a Global Warming apocalypse, and all manner of other mayhem … the momentum (and therefore inertia) in the current system is such that change happens, but very slowly.
However I think water is a big deal – not just for the Colorado, but for river systems world-wide.
btb, yes. Another way to look at the “pandemic” is as covert rationing.
Jimbo calls out the issue of scale and it’s an important one. The call to remain in place and to be stable within it is a call to live in the proper scale of human life and action. Bloom where you are planted, alas, easier said than done.
I live surrounded by large stands of trees. So far this winter, which had been mild, I’ve seen numerous huge blue jays flitting back and forth. Then yesterday we got our first snowstorm, about 10-12 inches. This morning the temperature was 16 degrees F. I haven’t seen any blue jays today. It got me wondering what happened to them. Do they freeze to death, or do they go hide somewhere? I’d like to know.
Hmmm maybe that is why the come here? I really never see blue jays in the summer. But the other day there was a blue jay in the azalea bush. They are very beautiful. And there was a flock of blackbirds too poking for worms in the grass. They are only here around this time of year too.
BTB
Looked it up.
Blue Jays. A few younger ones may migrate south. Most stay home year around. Interesting, they store seeds and acorns during the summer which the use in the winter. Some are forgotten, hence new trees started every year. In really bad weather, they may move south for a short time, but move back. My guess is when it is bad weather they have secluded sheltered areas they retreat to.
I remember them from my youth in Maryland. Their call is unmistakable. Fun fact, their call sounds like a diminutive crow. They are related.
“Do they freeze to death, or…”
Bill,
Those feathered bastards are a scourge sent by a vengeful God.
They will strip a large filbert nut tree of its complete crop if given the by-your-leave.
I have been battling them for years…no quarter expected…none given.
Like coyotes and javelinas in Arizona, they have learned to thrive with Man around.
EF, Blue jays or Stellers? I didn’t think the Blue jays crossed the Rockies. The Blue jays around here can mimic a red-tailed hawk perfectly. They use it to panic the little birds.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gmVOMEhMj8
Saint,
Whatever they are, they are crested. Ours mimic the same. We also have a few scrub Jays, but I am usually bedeviled by the crested ones.
They are ubiquitous in my neck of the woods.

The pandemic wargame scenarios had these sorts of events included.
The aim appears to be to make governance impossible, so that the Great Reset criminals can swoop in with the actual reset, which will include a digital currency.
The argument they will use has already been fed to us by Trudeau and others — paraphrasing, he has stated on several occasions that democracy is “no longer up to the challenge of governing in the modern world.” And he has stated that autocracy would be best suited.
All part of the plan.

Your flights of fantasy are getting more hysterical every day – as you get more desperate and ridiculous. Just pay the mortgage, get vaccinated, and have fun. Life is too short for conspiracy and paranoia.
Perhaps I am a Russian agent.
That was your previous claim.
LOL.
“Just pay the mortgage, get vaccinated, and have fun. Life is too short for conspiracy and paranoia.”
It wouldn’t be any more obvious if you had ‘TROLL’ stamped on your forehead in big green letters.
Is there not even a paragraph in the Troll Handbook suggesting subtlety as a tactic?
Ha! Subtlety is not this fellow’s forte, for sure. It’s a mystery why he’s here at all. Seems more like a guardian sort of guy.
Hope you’re well, GA! I hope you’re feeling better, spiritually. I have a strong feeling you’ll be fine. You’ll turn 100 dancing and drinking too much sherry. Cheers!
Seriously, he’s a cringeworthy agent at this point.
“Vaccines are safe and effective” that is the mantra. He’s a total Media Matters drone.
Thank you, Rulo – I’m fine today. Christmas came and went and there was a time I didn’t expect to make it. My daughters are trying to arrange a night out at my favourite Italian restaurant for my 70th in just over 8 weeks, so I hope I don’t disappoint them by not still being here. 🙂
I’ll be here till I’m not – what else can you say? Trying to wake up a small number of folks around me before I go, but it’s not easy. I’m shocked at how determined people cleverer than me are to not hear the truth.
@ga
Yes, it’s tough but just look at how hard you fought it.
“TVA nouvelle say that the government are looking to push the measure against unvaccinated a bit further!
1-Now they are looking to put the vaccine passport in essentials services where they offer delivery,
2-Curfew for unvaccinated only!
What is going on…….”

The Canadian Great Reset cabal assets are in full-on panic mode.
The Italian national health institute has just released some statistics on exactly who is currently in Covid intensive care wards in hospitals. Per 100,000 of population:
Unvaccinated people 23.1
Fully vaccinated more than 4 months ago 1.5
Fully vaccinated within last 4 months 1.0
Fully vaccinated with booster 0.9
Given that about 94% of Italians have had two doses, it shows that the vaccinated are overwhelmingly less likely to suffer hospitalisation and ICU. It may not be entirely a “pandemic of the unvaccinated”, but it certainly appears to be a “serious disease of the unvaccinated”.
Maybe in Italy (links to actual graphs and analysis?), but not elsewhere:
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/has-covid-vaccine-efficacy-turned
Furthermore,
https://principia-scientific.com/lancet-89-of-new-uk-covid-cases-among-fully-vaxxed/
The data is not discussing who is testing positive to Covid-19.
It is pretty-well beyond dispute that vaccines wane in effectiveness, and that the vaccinated are contracting it in numbers – especially the omicron variant.
I have four close-ish relatives who have tested positive in the last few days.
The point of the data from Italy is to highlight that an overwhelming percentage of those with very serious cases are unvaccinated.
For people of my age, and given current case-rates in Melbourne (51K Fri, 44K Sat) , it makes rational sense to be vaccinated and boosted.
“those with very serious cases are unvaccinated.”
Even if true, so what.
That is their right. To make their own risk assessment. And it they need hospital treatment, so what. Is that a crime? No. Italians pay up the wazoo in social taxes.
Thousands of Italians smoke. Would you ever make such an obnoxious statement, that if they contract lung cancer or some other smoking-related illness such as heart disease they have no right to treatment? Also in hospital? No.
The most interesting aspect of the covid op is how it has separated the sheep from the goats. People’s natural inclinations are magnified by the extreme pressure society has been put under. However they are “bent,” the they showing their bent freely because “authorities” have given them implicit permission to say things they would otherwise hav self-censored. Mr. I Am a Dim Wit is a great example of this dynamic.
He blithely reveals his total lack of values.
Fuck you, you monster.
“Given that about 94% of Italians have had two doses”
A baseless claim, like all of the other claims.
LOL.
Get it, Ian. So what if 94% have two doses.
Omicron does not recognize “fully vaxxed”, those two doses faded into the west three months ago.
Fully vaxxed folks have no defense right now. I will not argue the efficacy of fresh jabs but the effectiveness of the fully jabbed status is just about nil. The antibodies are kaput.
So what if 94% have two doses.
But JAZ – those stats above show that the unvaccinated are hugely more likely to wind up in ICU than the vaccinated – even when the vaccinations are more than four months old and un-boosted.
Plus the unvaccinated are a very small percentage of the population, but they are the ones crowding the ICU beds.
In Scotland there is one Omicron patient crowding all the ICU beds in the country.
Maybe it’s a giant Omicron octopus and not a person.
That’s like in the US, where 200 children are clogging up all the pediatric beds in the country, what with their covid and all.
Kick ’em out! They are unvaxed, the little rugrats.
OMG! 230 out of every 1 million people wind up in the hospital.
I know, we can try to force the other 999,770 people to get vaccinated to stop this terrible scourge.
Is this Omicron data? I thought it was less than that.
One more.
With Alpha, you had serious side effects and mortality with the disease itself., especially amongst the older folks.
A certain amount of side effects and mortality happened with the vaxx when implemented.
People did a risk assessment, some of them anyway and decided to risk the jabs, others said, there is no way. Both legitimate choices.
Right now though, I think that Omicron’s mild disposition will sway people away from the vaxx risk. The vaxx is still hitting people with the Alpha s proteins. If I ever get another Covid vaccine, it will be at least one year away to clear the immunity decks so to speak. And only with improvement in performance.
King of Comedy, you do crack me up. Kudos.
It’s not really a complaint but more of a simple observation and subsequent reaction that when you say Italian national blah blah blah right there I just think it’s all a deep fake. Starting from the central point that the Italian regime wants to replace Italians with others it becomes clear that most things that regime says or does aren’t in the interests of the Italian people. So why trust em?
SSL
Ignoring data based on opinion is denial.
The cherry picking of data is horrible on both sides of the arguments.
What if the Italian data is legitimate? You cannot simply dismiss it.
Anyway right now, the vaxx vs. unvaxxed question is moot. Omicron does not care.
I was just saying I don’t really trust the data but wasn’t saying that it should be ignored. Italy has been subjected to mass migration that is basically governent supported. It therefore would not be surprising to me personally if other activities conducted by the government were driven by agendas not in the public interest. Covid has clearly been used as a means of population control so.
ian, when you quote statistics, do they come from the same media and gov’ts that said, oh I dunno, that a lone nut shot JFK before another nut shot the first nut, or that Epstein killed himself while the cameras malfunctioned?
Because if they do, why would I believe them?
That’s the main question of philosophy: what can I know? I admit I can know little, because media and gov’ts are not trustworthy. You, on the other hand, think you know a lot, because you trust media and gov’ts. Ergo, you’re no philospher, meaning, your quest is not for the truth, but for compliance and comfort. You’re like most. Intellectually lazy.
ian, when you quote statistics, do they come from the same media and gov’ts that said, oh I dunno, that a lone nut shot JFK before another nut shot the first nut, or that Epstein killed himself while the cameras malfunctioned?
No they come from a highly regarded national health institute in Italy – which as far as I know has never had a view about grassy-knoll assassinations or suiciding pedophiles.
Well, if the “highly regarded nat health institute in Italy” is anything like the US equivalent, then their statistics are worthless. Perhaps you have noticed that part of the galaxy of controversy around c19 are death statistics. With covid or of covid? Or no covid at all? What about monetary incentives to rule every death a covid death? Do you live inside a shell? Are you not aware that gov’t statistics are manipulated and unreliable? Not just on this, on everything: inflation, unemployment, every damn thing, manipulated statistics.
“Lies, damn lies and statistics”
You are a true believer. Why are you here at all?
You are a true believer.
Not true at all – I remain deeply sceptical and inquisitive about all data and statistics, and don’t accept them unquestioningly.
What I do not do is make an a priori rush to judgement, and reject as untrue anything that doesn’t suit me, just because it is official.
I also do not bring in strawman arguments at every moment, nor essentially irrelevant “What About …? asides. Now do I resort to quack websites.
The data above is limited to those in Covid ICU wards, broken down by vaccination status. It does not refer to number of cases; it does not refer to deaths.
And no – there is no reason to believe that the Italian National Institute of Health (the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS)) is manipulating the data in order to suit some other non-medical agenda.
The data is showing what every reasonable person already knows – the unvaccinated are hit much harder than the vaccinated – basically at all stages.
He’s here to be a counter to the self-satisfied smug bully’s that constitute a large portion of the regulars at this site.You act like he’s totally irrational.
Like in the US, they occasionally put out propaganda, let it soak for a while, and then quietly retract it.

What can we know? We can start with personal observation, and if for example, you and I observe something and agree as to what we saw, then we can say that our perception was true and reliable.
That’s IF we trust one another, and can trust that one of us won’t try to gaslight the other, which our betters have been doing to us for decades.
Our betters say don’t believe your own eyes, don’t trust what you see, trust them, follow the science, the ‘experts, the ‘educated’, they’re honest, they fight for what’s right and just, they’ll tell you what’s what.
Except that they’re self-dealing, self-serving criminals and incompetents.
The Afghanistan botch should have been instructive, Afghan ‘helpers’ were left on the tarmac. That’s how the leading lights repay faithful service when push comes to shove.
As far as the Italians go, that place is so corrupt that even the cats have pimps. That’s to say it’s like most of the world. That’s also to say that the only number that’s accurate from anybody who’s mandated to spout numbers over there is maybe their telephone number.
Proton, right on! Well said! Unlike the Australian visitor, a truth-seeker and an independent mind. Personal observation indeed! Where are the people dying on the streets? Where’s the Bubonic Plague that justifies losing every last freedom and make corporation filthy rich? Survival rate is still above 99%! Nobody’s fucking dying except the very old and very sick!
Small note: yes, Italy is corrupt. But the food is great, the women beautiful, and they have more joie de vivre, talent, wit and humor than 3 Chinas.
Exactly. That’s why the Chinese should be kept out. Ditto the Muslims and Black Africans. Italy can only keep its unique character if it remains Italian only.

Mr. Kunstler,
“… Chinese fire drill…” Yup. The whole shebang.
Domestically, the alleged president is able to wreck havoc and later on there might be a chance to undo the most egregious damage.
If, down the road, armed conflict on a grand scale were to occur, I am concerned that the alleged president would be hardly different from having “Darius III” at the helm. Ack.
Thank you for the Darius III reference, I just read some of his story, a typical government bureaucrat of today clueless during our collapse.
Yesterday another crazy day for us folks in the emergency department, see first hands of agents and forces of chaos at work. I do feel a tad sad, because now that I am 60, I recall my young days watching Star Trek and thinking by the time I am 60 I will retire to the moon base, and maybe even visit a budding Mars outpost, but instead its back to the days caves, plagues, and constant warfare.
The modern day equivalent of Socrates, my Governor Kathy announced that we health care workers now need a booster to in order to work, we are already short staffed, and unlike the main vaccinee shots, more doctors have concerned over the boosters, even our family neuro doc says NO wait for more studies. BUT Patton Oswald recently apologized for taking a photo with Dave Chappelle, so justice has been restored.
Rural living generally requires a septic system for waste and a well for water. Initial expense and continuing maintenance costs need to be considered. Some advances recently on the home front, including the barndominium or “barndo”:

If you have some land and take the plunge, good luck!
Also, Tom, some solar panels would cover a Spartan, frugal electric usage in the absence of a grid. Not the plethora of electronic devices everybody seems to need now, but a few lights and maybe an hour running a pump. Water would be an issue in many places, and as JHK envisioned, parts of Nevada or Arizona would have to be abandoned – they were never viable without cheap energy and water stolen from other states, but overall, it’s doable. Hand cranked pumps, rainwater collection, graywater practices, drip irrigation.
Our great grandfathers moved into the wild en masse with little more than some animals, tools and seeds.

Overpopulation c/o night owl
“courtroom-ready proof” of overpopulation is obviously a charmingly absurd sort of expectation.
but the concept of overpopulation should be explainable and supportable somewhat simply.
so i’ve written my own rationale, with a final carrying-capacity calculation. 1000 words, triple-edited grammar.
if anyone reads my posts, some of my recurring themes are present, and there’s plenty that will be repetitive for jhk readers and well-read peak-oilers,
but here’s a google docs link to my proof/argument/calculation of current overpopulation
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z6fGeLDGgr-XB8jseEh4mZ3xbdB5P8HJ/edit?usp=drivesdk&ouid=117000878966416227108&rtpof=true&sd=true
but really, read the books islander and disaffected listed above
gustafson, reading it now. Thank you for taking the time. I agree that nuclear is not sustainable.
There is no over-population. There is only hatred – hatred of people and hatred of large populations. This hate is the spoor and sign of the UK and their inbred degenerate cousins inside the US, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, etc.
There is no over-population.
Well, if there’s no over-population, then why do the WEF-types and the pandemic-deniers believe that “de-population” of the surplus useless is the real agenda? Enquiring minds would like to know.
If there is no over-population, what the fuck is your problem?
This is the Kali Yuga mentality. How about this: You people can have North America and Europe. But give us Africa. We’ll turn it into a paradise. While you all turn our former homelands into places of misery.
It is not absurd. You made the claim, and you suggested on more than one occasion that I should not be here because I disagree.
You cannot prove the earth is overpopulated, or rather that it cannot sustain the present population or an even larger population. The request that you provide evidence that would hold up in a court of law is fully in order, unless you have a different understanding of the word “proof.”
There are many issues in this context that could be discussed in the framework of potential problems, but at present, for me, they take a back seat to the Great Reset.
not sure why you engaged on the topic if it wasn’t an timely-enough or important topic in your view
probably because somebody at the corona auschluss said “there’s no such thing as overpopulation,” so naturally, you repeated it like gospel
and i enjoy your auschluss updates and posts, agree with many
it’s true that overpopulation as an issue is more likely to inspire aberrant political policies (such as great reset) than good ones, probably
but, maybe all the more reason to examine the issue carefully rather than to take a dismissive approach with it
of course, there’s also the sort of flippantly logical idea that “there’s no such thing as ‘overpopulation’ because the population wouldn’t be here if it was unsupportable (in the moment)”
You made a statement, and you cannot back it up.
Pretty simple.
pretty (extremely) sophomoric
It is simply a fact. You attacked me for disagreeing, and now you cannot back up your claim.
It is kind of funny though.
you are a full idiot. no respect if you’re older than 24
i backed my position (pointlessly) with a full essay. you didnt even slightly attempt to back yours (you couldn’t do it if you tried), while claiming some fictitious high ground made of pure vapor
blind-charging “activists” like you are useless promoters of all our problems. sheep of a different stripe. you’re just the tails-side of the BLM coin, NO
You have proof of nothing.
Proof was all I requested.
Now you are in full ad hom mode.
LOL.

The Parable of Lawless Grace
A certain man was convicted of stealing a hundred sheep and was sentenced to repay four hundred sheep as restitution to his victim. The thief did not have the means to repay such a large amount, so he was sold to a prosperous landowner who was able to make the payment. In return, his newly-purchased slave was obligated by the law to work for his master for ten years.
After a season, the slave appealed to the judge for grace. The judge had compassion on the slave. He came to the master of the slave, paid the remaining restitution, and put the slave under grace. The slave rejoiced in his good fortune and told all of his friends about the love and compassion of the good-hearted judge for freeing him from slavery.
“See how the law sentenced me to ten years of slavery,” he proclaimed. “I was under the law until the judge decided that the law’s sentence was not right. He set aside the law so that I might come under grace. I will praise his name forever!”
But as he was praising the name of the judge, one man answered, saying, “Did the judge not pay your penalty to set you free? In doing so, he upheld the law and respected its just sentence. If he had set aside the law, he would have just canceled the debt that was due to your master.”
“Yes,” the freed slave responded, “he did indeed pay my debt in full, but he also set aside the law and established grace for everyone who believes in the judge.”
“That makes no sense,” the other man responded. “If the law is now set aside, then all will believe that they may steal with immunity as long as they have faith that the judge will no longer hold them accountable.”
But the freed slave continued to proclaim the “good news” that the law itself had been put away. He rejoiced that he was no longer under the law but under grace, and soon he established teaching centers to bring this message to the people.
The next generation then stopped studying the law, as it seemed irrelevant to them. Soon they began to support a prison system, and usury became the standard of banking. With the law set aside, the unbelievers found no impediment to further their agendas of immorality. They began killing unborn babies and abolished the death penalty for premeditated murder. They demanded that their government take [ steal ] from “the rich” workers and give the fruit of their labor to “the poor” who did not work. The government was only too happy to do this, and for every dollar they stole, they gave a dime to the poor.
It was not long before the whole nation had fallen into corruption.
Sin [ lawlessness ] is its own punishment.
The corona virus is producing more and more vagrants in the unvaccinated.
I read this blog and am amazed by the variety of opinions present.
I wonder how a legislative body, with its wide diversity of opinion, can ever get anything done.
Congress does not really function as the idea source for law development at all anymore.
So the executive creates most policy de jure.
That is not what the FF put into the Constitution.
That is not what the FF put into the Constitution.
They didn’t entirely know what they were doing. But fair enough, they were the backwoods aristocracy of the colonies – honorable slave-owners and all – and they didn’t have a lot of blueprints from other nations to follow.
But they did get a lot of stuff quite right. The worst thing they did – in their hubris – was to make it far too hard to change in the future what they did write.
That was to protect the Republic from ignorant Liberal change. Change for change sake. At the time, it was change in the form of new taxes as they were very sensitive to the domination that had been imposed on them by Parliament. The big split came from arrogant Englishmen whose power bent could not be alleviated by compromise, starting with George 3. William Pitt was a voice of reason, but he was ignored.
Change for change sake amongst a stupid populace and government is catastrophic, as we are now witnessing.
As of 18:38 hours, Saturday night, there were no paramedic units available in the City of Toronto. They fired all their unvaxxed staff. Not enough nurses to staff the ER anyway. The injured drunks and gunshot victims will have to tend to their own wounds tonight.
Also long lines of people in shorts who have poisoned themselves with horse paste. In August they wore winter coats. As Bono says, God has some funny kids.
They fired all their unvaxxed staff.
No – a huge number of staff had to go into isolation because they were Covid positive or a close contact. Get it right.
Assuming even true, so staff in isolation just because they have covid while other far more serious and potentially life-threatening emergencies are placed at risk?
This is being done to destroy the health system.
Where I work, I regularly have documents in front of me that cover the coming digitization of the healthcare system.
In the future, they’d like to create a system that is pass accessible and that keeps human doctor-patient interaction to an absolute minimum.
They sell it as innovative and efficient, but in reality it is barbaric and is being done to optimize their own costs and help reduce liability.
This is another element of the Great Reset.
Jared Taylor, American Renaissance, January 8, 2022
The convicted murderers of Ahmaud Arbery were sentenced yesterday. Travis McMichael, who is 35 and pulled the trigger, got life in prison with no possibility of parole. His 66-year-old father Greg, who was riding with him, got the same, so both will die in prison – barring appeal. William “Roddie” Bryan, 52, who drove separately and took a cellphone video of the fatal moments, got life with the possibility of parole after 30 years, when he will 82.
This is outrageous punishment for three men who clearly had no intention of killing or even harming anyone. Race was at the heart of this; if Arbery had been white, this case would surely never have gone to trial. I wrote a detailed account of the trial and verdicts here. These life sentences have to be understood in context.
The Satilla Shores neighborhood on the Georgia coast where the incident took place had seen a rash of petty crimes. Residents bought security cameras and stopped letting children play outside at night. Ahmaud Arbery was caught on video five times – mostly at night – wandering through a building under construction a few doors from where the McMichaels lived.
Twelve days before the shooting, Travis McMichael saw Arbery at the building. He got a gun, called police, and with another armed neighbor, searched the building, but Arbery was gone. The responding officer thanked the men for their vigilance and did not say they should not have been armed.
On the day of the shooting, Arbery was again at the building. A neighbor spotted him, and he sprinted away. The McMichaels saw him running, recognized him from videos, and chased him in their pickup. Travis, who had thought Arbery might be armed from the way he acted the first time he saw him, took a shotgun, and his father Greg had a pistol. They followed for five minutes, and several times came close enough to shout out the window, “Stop. We want to talk to you.” They called 911. At some point, Mr. Bryan joined the chase and took the video.
The McMichaels gave up following Arbery and parked in a place where they could get a good view of cross streets, so they could tell the police which way Arbery went. What happened next is on the video: Arbery could have run around their truck and kept going – he had already done that twice – or he could have turned off the road into unfenced land. Instead, he ran toward the pickup, darted around it, and made for Travis, who was holding a shotgun. The moment of contact is off camera, but the men are seen grappling for the gun as shots go off.
The first prosecutor on the case, George Barnhill, interviewed the three men, watched the video, and wrote a report to explain why he did not bring charges. He stated that the men were making a legal citizen’s arrest, were legally armed, and had probable cause to think Arbery was a burglar. Mr. Barnhill added, “[A]t the point Arbery grabbed the shotgun, under Georgia law, McMichael was allowed to use deadly force to protect himself.” Mr. Bryan later released the video, thinking it would calm blacks who were complaining that charges should be brought. Instead, there was outrage.
The ensuing trial was not fair. The judge refused to change venue. Throughout jury selection and all during the trial, blacks demonstrated, loudly demanding “justice for Ahmaud.” They marched through the neighborhood where Arbery was shot. Prominent blacks – Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Martin Luther King III – sat in the courtroom with Arbery’s mother; the defense called this jury intimidation. Black preachers formed a “prayer wall” outside the courthouse, and on at least one occasion, New Black Panthers patrolled with guns.
The judge, Timothy Walmsley, excluded all of the following evidence: Arbery had a record. He ran from police who saw he had a gun. He had shoplifting convictions, and had a reputation among store owners as “The Jogger,” who would steal and then run away. He was so volatile his mother called the police on him, warning that he might get violent. Arbery was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and put on Zyprexa, an anti-psychotic; it was not in his system on autopsy. There was a small amount of THC in his blood, which makes people with his condition irritable and impulsive. Arbery was on probation for two crimes when he was killed, which probably made him reluctant to talk about what he was doing in the building that day.
In the evidence admitted at trial there was nothing about race, but in her closing argument, Prosecutor Linda Dunikoski claimed that Arbery was shot “because he was a black man running down the street.” A jury of nine white women, two white men and one black man took only 10 hours to find Travis guilty of “malice murder” — the Georgia equivalent of first-degree, premeditated murder. The law assumes malice when “all the circumstances of the killing show an abandoned and malignant heart.” Gregory was found guilty of “felony murder,” which is a lesser charge, but carries the same penalty of a minimum of 30 years and possible life. Mr. Bryan was also found guilty of “felony murder,” because he tried to box Arbery in with his pickup.
At the time of the killing, Georgia had a broad citizens’ arrest law – since gutted by the state legislature and denounced by Gov. Brian Kemp as “a Civil War-era law ripe for abuse.” It is legal to carry weapons in Georgia. It is legal to drive alongside someone and ask him to stop and talk. It is legal to use deadly force if you have good reason to think your life is in danger. The prosecution argued that since the McMichaels had gone looking for Arbery they could not then claim self-defense. Does that mean Travis was supposed to let Arbery beat him to death or take away his shotgun and shoot him?
Should the men have got off Scott free? District Attorney Barnhill though so. Mr. Bryan certainly should have walked away. And if the McMichaels are guilty of anything, they certainly don’t have “abandoned and malignant” hearts and don’t deserve to die in prison.
At yesterday’s sentencing, Arbery’s family gave what the New York Times called “wrenching” victim statements. His sister Jasmine said the three men thought Arbery was a “dangerous criminal” because of his dark skin and curly hair. Arbery’s father said the men “lynch[ed] my son in broad daylight” and denounced “their evil and hate.” Arbery’s mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, said that raising him was “the honor of my life,” adding that the three men “were fully committed to their crime” and “chose to target my son because they didn’t want him in their community. . . . When they couldn’t sufficiently scare him or intimidate him, they killed him.”
We expect emotional, imaginative stuff from black victims, but not from judges. Judge Walmsley agreed with Miss Cooper-Jones, and said, “I kept coming back to the terror that must have been in the young man running through Satilla Shores.” He called for a minute of silence in the courtroom and asked everyone to imagine the horror of running for your life for that long. “Ahmaud Arbery was then hunted down and shot,” he added.
This is as fanciful as anything the family said. If the men wanted to kill Arbery, they could have shot him at any time during those five minutes. Instead, they called 911. The judge called the video “absolutely chilling.”
Judge Walmsley was in the courtroom and heard all the evidence; I wasn’t there. Nor is a judge supposed to be intimidated by demonstrations, Black Panthers with rifles, prayer walls, and black celebrities in the courtroom, but I am shocked. Those men – none with a criminal record and two with law-enforcement training – were trying to keep their neighborhood safe. There is no reason to think they wanted to hurt Arbery, and Travis did not fire until he was in a fight for his gun – and, he thought, for his life.
Travis McMichael splashed with Arbery’s blood after his close encounter with Arbery. When an officer asked if he was alright, he replied, “I’m not alright. I just shot someone.”
At sentencing, Prosecutor Linda Dunikosky said Arbery was “trapped” and had no choice but to turn and fight. Wrong. He could have run in any direction and not been shot – but he would probably would have been arrested.
State-imposed life sentences aren’t enough for these men. All three now face federal “hate crime” charges because they allegedly “used force and threats of force to intimidate and interfere with Arbery’s right to use a public street because of his race.” That trial begins February 7, and the men face up to life in prison – again – and six-figure fines.
The New York Times says Miss Cooper-Jones is “bracing herself” for the ordeal of another trial. Really? I think she is looking forward to it. The feds asked her if she would accept a plea deal, in which the McMichaels would get federal sentences of 30 years and no trial if they admitted they had been motivated by hate. She said no. “I’ll be there every day,” she said. “They need to answer to those charges as well.”
What, one wonders, is she living on that lets her sit in court every day, as she did during the state trial? She has filed a civil suit for millions of dollars against the three men, and against the original prosecutors who did not bring charges, but that payday is far off.
The McMichaels are on hard times. The two men were living with Leigh McMichael, who is Greg’s wife and Travis’s mother. The family was reportedly deep in debt even before the Arbery incident because of Leigh’s cancer and “overwhelming medical bills.” Leigh has worked as a hospice nurse. She sobbed as she testified at trial for the defense, and was present with daughter Lindsey McMichael for the verdict. They were described afterwards as “devastated.” There were no family members at the sentencing.
Has the “close-knit” Satilla Shores community stood by Mrs. McMichael or is she a pariah? Travis has a five-year-old son; what does he think of any of this? How will Leigh McMichael take care of him in a household that has lost two wage-earners? Has she thought about crowd funding? We can be sure there will be no sympathetic media profiles.
At yesterday’s sentencing, prosecutor Linda Dunikoski asked the judge not to allow the three convicted men “to make any money off of their actions such as a book deal, a movie deal, social media deal, or anything,” adding that any money they ever make should go to the Arbery family. Judge Walmsley said he would think about it.
After the verdict, Miss Cooper-Jones emerged from the courthouse to loud cheers and was photographed in a line with black supporters, all with their arms raised like boxing champions. Dozens of black-clad Panthers marched outside with black rifles. Needless to say, the right people are reveling in the sentences. One tabloid on the reactions titled its story “Go To Jail, Then Hell.”
At the time of the verdict, the McMichaels’ lawyers said, “These are two men who honestly believe that what they were doing was the right thing to do.” No one seems to be saying that now, and if anyone – even one conservative commentator – has said a good word for these men, I haven’t heard it.
I keep thinking about Travis McMichael’s little boy. What will his life be like? Will he grow up a proud, tough Southerner who had to fight for his family’s honor against every bully who called his father and grandfather “racist killers”? Or will he change his name and slink away – and spend his life groveling? I’m afraid I know the answer.
Jarek: I mourn for Travis, a Coast Guard officer who was trained to deal with the public since they board boats, etc. He knew what he was doing and was within the bounds of Georgia law. Arberry was a worthless criminal. His mother displays all the sickening arrogance so often seen in Blacks. She helped to make him what he was.
BRH: Poster Don Reynolds says that by pulling on the barrel of the shotgun, Arberry in effect shot himself since it was pointed at him. What do you think?
Good grief.
What stops you just posting a link? Apart from making people scroll past all of that, there are copyright and “fair-dealing” protocols that you’re probably breaching. Be reasonable.
Summary of the post: White People who shoot dead Black People on suspicion should not be harshly punished. Is that your reading of it too?
Why would someone shoot a dead black person? Seems like a wasted bullet.
Ian lying senseless on the mat in front of a raucous crowd, once again.
LOL.
Well, you know, stelmosfire, white supremacists do that sort of thing.
Janos
Certainly pulling on the barrel of a shotgun can cause a discharge and can get you killed if you are on the wrong end of it. IMHO Arberry was up to no good, casing out the neighborhood; having said that I think it was foolish for these 3 gentlemen to introduce firearms into the situation, specially considering the current political climate.
In the period after the Civil War when it was “Wagons West” one of the most common ways an argonaut would die is by pulling a stored, loaded musket out of the wagon barrel first, with the muzzle pointed out; the exposed hammer invariably get caught on something and drawn back far enough to cause the gun to go off when released.
Where I live it looks rural but we aren’t too far from squalid urban areas which are nothing more than dystopic welfare colonies. Billions are being poured into these places but they just seem to get worse. They are also ‘Sanctuary Cities’. Last spring and summer the raids began out here, mostly at night, but during the day too, cars stolen out of driveways, cars broken into, attempts to get into houses at night …. people were freaking out, especially women living alone, people were shot at interrupting attempted robberies and carjackings and a young police officer was run down and severely injured in August while investigating a pair of distinguished citizens (who turned out to be illegals) sawing catalytic converters off cars at 2:00 am. Then one afternoon in late summer a car pulled onto our street and I could see two men jump out and attempt to break into my neighbors truck (who is the fire chief) then proceeded to head up a driveway across the street where I knew a woman was home alone with her two young daughters. My nephew and I happened to be taking down a tree, we were wondering WTF was going on so walked over carrying axes, by then they were out of their car already, but then climbed back and hauled ass out of the driveway and down the street. That night on the news in the next town over a murder was reported that evening, it was the same car (stolen Audi) that was on our street, same people, two 16 year olds. Police were here and we gave them statement. The upshot is I always have a shotgun nearby, not a tactical gun but a simple over/under field gun, mindful of the repercussions if I ever had to shoot at one of these sonsabitches. That’s how we have to live now. I’m hoping for a change for the better.
agree. if they’d succeeded in their citizes’ arrest attempt, everything would have been… if not fine, much better, good on them. but they allowed their guns to be grabbed. here we are.
This is the old Gustaf. Bobby the good little boy. Or young liberal Robert, senior in college, age 22.
Where is Gustaf the Tribalist, the Cannibal? Blood and Soil, the guy who reads Ted? Bring him back.
hey, if they were starting an active race-war movement with a plan, not failing hopelessly to citizen-arrest a seventeen year old casing out the fat burbs…
i’d be setting off fireworks for them
Didn’t ya hear? Never bring an ax to a gun fight. Your lucky the punks didn’t unload on you.
They didn’t shoot the victim, they ran over him with the stolen car they were driving, lifting his wallet and cellphone while he was down, a crudely executed robbery.
“IMHO Arberry was up to no good;”
Funnily enough, exactly the same could be said of the McDonalds.
The McMichaels. And you obviously don’t believe in community policing.
Women want everything to be purrfect and surgically clean. Life isn’t like that. Certainly policing isn’t.
Ever see that iconic photo of Rhodesia? The family having tea in the garden, well dressed, refined people, each with a rifle next to them?
That’s where you’re going. It’s your duty to get your clan out of there. What happened with the ranch in New Mexico?
Actually it was Nevada, Janos. A nephew was out there on the place. Recently sold for almost 3 times for what we paid for it. If you’re interested I will elucidate further some time in the future.
Check out the survival blog of John Rawls or his books. He breaks it down state by state. Parts of Nevada might be alright – in the North needless to say, where it rains and away from Las Vegas. Politically, Idaho is better though. And Arizona is better than New Mexico – more White and Conservative. Again, North and in the mountains, away from the doomed Phoenix man swarm.
If so, it was an incredible oversight if the defense didn’t use it. Of course with nine women on the jury they had little chance: 3 Islanders, 3 Marys, 2 Paulas, and one Alba. And the Judge is obviously a complete whack job and part of the Cult.
White People who shoot dead Black People on suspicion should not be harshly punished.
*************
Personally, I feel sorry for those 3 white men. Satilla Shores is the kind of community good people go into debt and make all kinds of sacrifices in order to buy a house there and get away from the Arberys of the world.
Instead of guns, they should have grabbed a few books and job applications before they hopped in their trucks.
BTW, the cops who had to deal with Arbery sure didn’t pussy foot around with him; they knew exactly who and what they were dealing with.
Personally, I feel sorry for those 3 white men.
Very sick puppy. Arbery did nothing warranting his death .. even you can understand that, I trust. Satilla Shores? What a sad white joke.
Ian, I believe Thwack is not white. He appears in Jim’s book Living in the Long Emergency’. You appear to have jumped to conclusions based upon your ideological outlook.
Thats right Ian, as a black male, my credentials to speak about black males are impregniggable.
Hahahahahaha!
Thwack is back, yeah he back
with a reasoned retort
not his usual smack,
but his meme is weak;
got his ass in a crack.
cause “He black” don’t wash
not his momma, not his daddy
not Ashly nor Buffy,
just his country club caddy
they live in the ‘burbs,
with a cat named Maddy
drives a blue minivan
‘stead of a pimped-out Caddy
says he got black friends
gots em following on Twitter,
the guy that shines his shoes,
the towel man in the shitter.
All that being said
Thwack ain’t so bad,
but when it comes to his meme,
his efforts be sad…..

I’ve been worrying about the tyrannical state, the pseudo panda, world war, mark of the beast.
In desperation I tried an old trick, one that shocked an east coast trader I know by telling him to frame a question in his mind without revealing what it was, handing him a bible, asking him to randomly open it and point without looking at the passage, which he then read.
I made all my fears about the state we’re in a prayer, sent it up, and opened the bible randomly, pointing down and holding my finger on a passage.
This is what came up, Hosea, 2. I kept reading…
2 The beginning of what Yahweh said through Hosea: Yahweh said to Hosea, ‘Go, marry a whore, and get children with a whore; for the country itself has become nothing but a whore by abandoning Yahweh.’
3 So he went and married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, who conceived and bore him a son.
4 Yahweh then said to him, ‘Call him Jezreel, for in a little while I shall punish the House of Jehu for the bloodshed at Jezreel and put an end to the sovereignty of the House of Israel.
5 When that day comes, I shall break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.’
6 She conceived a second time and gave birth to a daughter. Yahweh then said to him, ‘Call her Lo-Ruhamah, for I shall show no more pity for the House of Israel, I shall never forgive them again.
7 (Instead, I shall take pity on the House of Judah and shall save them, not by bow or sword or force of arms, not by horses or horsemen, but by Yahweh their God.)’
8 After weaning Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and gave birth to a son.
9 Yahweh said, ‘Call him Lo-Ammi, for you are not my people and I do not exist for you.’
More Hosea,
1 But the Israelites will become as numerous as the sands of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted. In the very place where they were told, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be told they are ‘Children of the living God’.
2 The Judaeans and Israelites will be reunited and will choose themselves a single head, and will spread far beyond their country, for great will be the Day of Jezreel!
3 Then call your brothers, ‘My people’, and your sisters, ‘You have been pitied’.
4 To court, take your mother to court! For she is no longer my wife nor am I her husband. She must either remove her whoring ways from her face and her adulteries from between her breasts,
5 or I shall strip her and expose her naked as the day she was born; I shall make her as bare as the desert, I shall make her as dry as arid country, and let her die of thirst.
6 And I shall feel no pity for her children since they are the children of her whorings.
7 Yes, their mother has played the whore, she who conceived them has disgraced herself by saying, ‘I shall chase after my lovers; they will assure me my keep, my wool, my flax, my oil and my drinks.’
8 This is why I shall block her way with thorns, and wall her in to stop her in her tracks;
9 then if she chases her lovers she will not catch them, if she looks for them she will not find them, and then she will say, ‘I shall go back to my first husband, I was better off then than I am now;’
10 she had never realised before that I was the one who was giving her the grain, new wine and oil, giving her more and more silver and gold which they have spent on Baal!
11 This is why I shall take back my grain when it is due and my new wine, when the season for it comes. I shall withdraw my wool and my flax which were to cover her naked body,
12 and then display her infamy before her lovers’ eyes- no one will take her from me then!
13 I shall put an end to all her merrymaking, her festivals, her New Moons and her Sabbaths and all her solemn feasts.
14 I shall make her vines and fig trees derelict of which she used to say, ‘These are the pay my lovers gave me.’ I shall turn them into a jungle: wild animals will feed on them.
15 I mean to make her pay for the feast-days on which she burnt incense to the Baals, when she tricked herself out in her earrings and necklaces to chase after her lovers, and forget me! -declares Yahweh.
16 But look, I am going to seduce her and lead her into the desert and speak to her heart.
17 There I shall give her back her vineyards, and make the Vale of Achor a gateway of hope. There she will respond as when she was young, as on the day when she came up from Egypt.
18 When that day comes- declares Yahweh- you will call me, ‘My husband’, no more will you call me, ‘My Baal’.
19 I shall banish the names of the Baals from her lips and their name will be mentioned no more.
20 When that day comes I shall make a treaty for them with the wild animals, with the birds of heaven and the creeping things of the earth; I shall break the bow and the sword and warfare, and banish them from the country, and I will let them sleep secure.
21 I shall betroth you to myself for ever, I shall betroth you in uprightness and justice, and faithful love and tenderness.
22 Yes, I shall betroth you to myself in loyalty and in the knowledge of Yahweh.
23 When that day comes, I shall respond -declares Yahweh- I shall respond to the heavens and they will respond to the earth
24 and the earth will respond to the grain, the new wine and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.
25 I shall sow her in the country to be mine, I shall take pity on Lo-Ruhamah, I shall tell Lo-Ammi, ‘You are my people,’ and he will say, ‘You are my God.’
For fuck’s sake – you’re even more of a fucking nutter than Jarek – and that is seriously saying something.
Do you not realise anmariwakaranai that your three posts above are complete and utter gibberish? Can I repeat that – complete and utter gibberish.
There are other dead-set lunatics on here for sure, but you and Jarek really take the biscuit. Please go and get medical help – you need it.
Where re the rational people?
Sorry, that was long. But it did answer what I asked. And if things get too rough for you out there, sick, coerced, alone, you might try holding a bible focusing on your pain and asking God anything, then open that book, anywhere, and read. Even just the sentence you point to upon opening.

Jehu redeemed himself. He saw Jezebel on a high balcony with her servants. He called up to them, Will you not throw here down. They did throw her down.
She had already destroyed several of the great men of Israel. He wasn’t taking any chances.
But God isn’t gonna feed her/us to the dogs. He’s gonna purify us, already started.
And then our deserts will bloom.
There will be no more sea! As the Jehovah’s Witnesses say, “Don’t buy the lie. Millions now living will never die.” We will farm the sea bottoms! Hundreds of Billions will be able to live on Earth pace Night Growl.
The Occult Tradition says, “There will be no more sea” means that humanity will transcend the astral or emotional body, which is the source of most of our problems.
Close, right?

Lancet: 89% Of New UK COVID Cases Among Fully Vaxxed
For Ian
Given that 95% of the population i fully vaccinated, it’s hardly surprising.
We have established that (a) the vaccines wane over six months, and (b) the omicron variant is even being contracted by the vaccinated. No mystery there.
What you need to look at is the vaccination status of those in hospital, those in ICU and on ventilators, and in fact those dying. There you will find that the unvaxxed are hitting those really dreadful milestones 25 times more than the vaccinated.
You may hate the reality – but vaccination prevents serious Covid disease. But really, I don’t give a flying fuck what you think – I know that the vaccines stop serious disease, and I have no interest in arguing the toss with you.
Everybody on a ventilator is dying Ian. 30 percent chance of surviving a vent without covid.
Everybody on a ventilator is dying Ian. 30 percent chance of surviving a vent without covid.
I know – and about 99% of those poor people are unvaccinated.
I’m not saying the vaccines are perfect, but this is potentially a very serious respiratory disease, and it’s much better not to contract it. Vaccines seriously mitigate the impact as well.
What I don’t understand is why there are so many on here who are so deeply into a politic that denies the pandemic. To put it very subtly , what the fuck for?
Perusing news out of Australia there’s alot going on, not much of it good. As a man on the scene, let’s hear something about it from your perspective.
“To put it very subtly , what the fuck for?” ~ ianw
The Precautionary Principle is on the side of those who are less than interested in getting something called a vaccine– or much of anything else for that matter– from entirely discredited and illegitimate groups. That’s WTF for.
Perhaps Ian misunderstood. If I put anyone on a vent ever, WITHOUT COVID, they have a 30% chance of survival.
Not to mention the poison called rem-disapear. That kills quick like.
“But really, I don’t give a flying fuck what you think – I know that the vaccines stop serious disease, and I have no interest in arguing the toss with you.”
Says the troll who repeats what he has no interest in arguing from morning till night.
What a berk.
I think he was the con artist previously known as asoka.
95% in Germany, too (RKI stats).
🙂
That was a reply to anmari — 95% of new “cases” are in “vaxed” individuals according to RKI.
Thanks Night. Good to keep up on stats the msm has no interest in telling the good folks with aids.
[…] 95% of new “cases” are in “vaxed” individuals according to RKI.
And? The issue is the huge number of unvaccinated who are filling hospital beds – selfishly and needlessly. And causing huge trauma in medical facilities.
Because of them non-Covid patients can’t be visited, and lots of medical procedures have been put on hold.

Jarek says, “The Philosopher King will love God and the gods.”
“You shall have no other gods before Me.”
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
“If you love Me keep my commandments.”
Who are these “gods” that your Philosopher king “loves” in addition to the Creator?
Meditate on the relationship between Unity and Diversity. Does the Ultimate Unity negate Diversity? Eternity, time?
Blake: Eternity is in love with the productions of time.
Aquinas: The purpose of grace is to perfect nature not destroy it.
Prabhupad: Krishna could do everything by Himself but He prefers to share his glory by allowing his devotees to do some things too.
Jarek: Do you not believe in the bodiless powers, the angels?
Thus you are defeated, etc.
Angels are not gods and this is not a contest.
Some of the Romans felt bad that they had killed a god when they killed Christ while some of the Jews felt they had killed a sorcerer or a deceiver of the youth and felt glad. Who was closer to the Truth?
Sensible people of different cultures use different words and concepts to say much the same thing. But foolish people of the same language and culture can’t agree on even the basics or reality, what to speak of the meaning of events, or even the basic facts of what happened.
Conscience is not a safe guide. Garbage in garbage out.

Repost (mine) from reddit anarchism:
Lost Trust & The Precautionary Principle
The Precautionary Principle is on the side of those who are less than interested in getting something called a ‘vaccine’ (it’s gene thereapy until it was redefined, a la George Orwell, apparently), or much of anything else for that matter, and info on it from, in large part, entirely discredited and illegitimate groups.
Do your homework.
Some, if not all, of the comments in anarchy groups hereon don’t appear to be coming from true anarchists, or from those ‘anarchists’ who’ve thought long, hard or well enough about the issues.
Don’t forget; we, or many of us, live in a crony-capitalist plutarchy/state (call it what you will) context. That context is telling us, not asking, to wear a mask and get a ‘vax’ and suppressing information to boot. That’s not a transparent, equitable nor ethical context, and therefore is an excellent context against which to invoke/apply the precautionary principle.
It’s about trust and loss of it. You have no real relationship without trust. Vaccine mandates come from a bad actor in a bad relationship without trust.
Oh and if that context is going to do leaky gain-of-function virus lab research and contain much of it in secrecy, including mistakes, again, all bets are off and we need to default to the precautionary principle and bail. That’s right, bail.
Create new ethical, equitable, green, anarchistic societies, entirely separate from the current that feeds off of death, distrust, inequity and drawdown, etc., and, as such, needs to die or shrink anyway and that’s what it’s probably trying to do, via this virus hype/psychosis. Killing itself in a death of a thousand cuts.
Trouble is, to create an “ethical, equitable, green anarchistic society” you will need a pretty brutal Secret Police Ageny to enforce all the utopian diktats, get people on board, and make sure everybody toes the egalitarian line.
An army of informers on every block, in every office, and in every home, in addition to prison camps for recalcitrant non-citizens not in compliance with the reigning zeitgeist may also be necessary.

I watched that this morning. Neil is great at packing a lot into 7 minutes. The Beeb must be fizzing – he’s so well known (from the Beeb) that the PTB can’t just swan in and do the dirty on him as it would be too obvious.
He’s interviewing Mike Yeadon here. I’ve only seen the first minute as the video is endlessly buffering. I seem to have particular problems with Odyssey. Or maybe it’s the time of day …

Anyway, he’s up with the heavyweights now, which can only be a good thing as he’s so well known, and generally well liked, from before covid, although he does get a lot of flak for doing this.
He is incredibly articulate. Was happy to see him go to town on the WEF stuff.

New mainstream media, like, say, Rogan, J. Dore, J. Corbett, R. Brand, G. Greenwald, Consortium News, Information Clearing House, Fort Russ News, Unlimited Hangout, Mint Press News, Media Roots, Truthout, Zero Hedge, etc.**, have entered the fray and become relatively established, leaving the legacy (lunacy?) mainstream media– and without much in the way of ad revenue anymore– to become the (lunatic-?) fringe.
Nevertheless, it’s important to keep an eye on the New Fringe Media if only as an odd sort of comparative metric.

The bubble-chamber has gone to your head – these are not mainstream, are not relatively established, and haven’t pushed out the major media. They are rightwing fringe, and always have been … and still have tiny audiences.
I have a suite of liberal-progressive sites that I enjoy, but I certainly recognise that – while they aren’t as lunatic weird as Joe Rogan et al – they are still very much minority tastes.

Here is one of their current essays–worth a read :
https://dailysceptic.org/the-tyranny-of-the-risk-averse/
An excerpt:
“And at what point does overemphasising caution become its own form of harassment? Certainly, we are seeing rising incidents of shunning and neuroticism since the start of the pandemic. These are notions favoured by the laptop-class: people who want to live in March 2020 in perpetuity, clamouring for more lockdowns and ‘stimulus’. Some people in the United States seem convinced – quite literally – that they are going to die. This is a problem. They perceive themselves as being in great danger when they aren’t, and view others as a threat in an overstated way. This is dangerous. I noticed that they also seem to take a strange sort of glee in telling others what to do – adult hallway monitors run amok. There was something fundamentally pathological about the sheer pleasure people – usually women and men who seemed off the deep end into over-socialisation – took in events being cancelled for ‘the greater good’. When LCD Soundsystem announced, due to public pressure, that they were abruptly cancelling the last three shows of their reunion performance here in NYC everyone started talking about ‘the greater good’. Those who voiced their disappointment in various comment sections were ostracised, while those who were sanctimoniously, righteously having their ‘concern for safety’ met seemed pleased to have their virtue reaffirmed. To be clear, I don’t necessarily think they enjoy the ongoing restrictions: I think they enjoy the righteousness of their perceived sacrifice.”
Spot on!!
This exposition of Sarah Schulman’s theory of the weaponization of victimhood as an explanation for the covid hysteria we see around us is IMO a stronger hypothesis than the Desmet “mass formation” hypothesis.
“Schulman explores the danger of what happens on a community level when mere conflict is mistaken for outright abuse, when the notion of ‘harm’ is weaponised by being overstated. This creates a clear-cut dichotomy between victim and perpetrator, a dichotomy which isn’t always cut and dry. In the case of communicable diseases that are easily transmissible, for which exist adoptable preventative measures like vaccines and antibody treatments, and which present drastically different levels of risk depending on age and other factors like pre-existing conditions and body weight, the idea of ‘keeping everyone safe’ is not only impossible, but further: it’s harmful. It does more damage than good, and it almost always includes blanket measures that require force – lockdowns and the consequent social disintegration. It can no longer be considered the moral high-ground, despite the linguistic grandstanding of its proponents. Overstating the risk of harm is harmful, calling anyone questioning this ‘selfish’ after two years is its own form of selfishness. Their goal is to reify the notion that no amount of risk is tolerable, which robs you of your personal agency and decision making abilities. A false notion of collective compassion is weaponised in an attempt to infantilise everyone as being hopelessly dependent on said pseudo-compassion. It is the psychological manifestation of the hysterical mother archetype: a hypochondriac helicopter parent so neurotically insistent on keeping their child ‘safe’ that the child becomes a permanent child.
Schulman goes on to outline how shunning and marginalisation are used by people experiencing conflict who are more interested in blame than finding a resolution. These are tactics that are eerily reminiscent of the animosity towards unvaccinated people. She explores, in detail, the power of the victimhood narrative alongside the power of seeing oneself as ‘abused’ and wanting to yield that power, rather than find resolution – which is what is happening right now on a mass scale as people accuse others of being threats merely for breathing or existing, where anyone not capitulating to the whims of the distressed group is deemed an abuser. The limits of collective responsibility are being tested on a mass scale and we’re seeing what happens when collectivism and compassion-claims collide to create a Kafka-trap safety-regime that pre-supposes its own moral purity by sanctimoniously claiming to care about the greater good while harming you individually.
We need to stop privileging Covid and the hysteria around it. These are no longer merely reasonable ‘mitigation measures’ like staying inside if you feel sick. They are one-size-fits-all policy blunders that uphold the supreme importance of one issue (Covid) at the expense of all other issues: in short, this is harm reduction transformed into authoritarianism. . . . ”
A debate between Desmet and Schulman would be very interesting.

Great list. Still annoyed with Martenson though when he went MIA during the vaxx rollout. A lot of his early “honeybadger virus” videos pushing masks and supporting lockdowns, I find less than inspiring in hindsight. His greatest contribution, in my mind, is the “Crash Course” from back in the day.
also took him way too long to acknowledge the laboratory origin
Tax Donkey:
“I find less than inspiring in hindsight.”
Yeah, funny thing about 20/20 hindsight.
Yours, I mean.
I appreciate Martenson because he proceeds cautiously, deconstructing available evidence carefully, assiduously. He doesn’t jump ahead or blather outside his skill set. I appreciate his style–informed, and to the point. No histrionics.
He took apart, sentence by sentence, the FDA authorization document regarding Cominarty and thus showed that it was actually BS. Better and more clearly than anyone else I am aware of. Very impressive performance.
Yeah, yeah, I like Martenson.

Mary, OK, I realize you were responding to my post about the vax thing, not about other news sources.
I haven’t checked out the privacy terms (more stringent in Europe than here). The action seems to be geared toward Europe, not the USA. Which is why I flagged Night Owl.
Yeah sorry I could have been clearer – lol.
I forgot we were in the ‘places to visit’ thread.
Nope. Thx. Will take a look.

Open for discussion – agree or no?
“The US Supreme Court ruled that vaccinated people around the world are now “products”, or patented goods, and are no longer human under US law.
By vaccinating with modified DNA or RNA, a person ceases to be a human and becomes the property of the patentee of the mRNA vaccine. Their genome is no longer human, but “trans-human”, a category that does not exist in human rights.
The characteristics of the natural man and all rights that result from them are lost. This applies to the whole world.
SOURCE of this decision of the US Supreme Court in PDF:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/12-398_1b7d.pdf
Being a patented entity also means the Human Rights Act, nor State Rights, no longer apply to you as you’re effectively ‘trans-human’.”
Somebody on here warned about that months ago.
Probably me. I have been aware of this for a year or more.
Yeah, sounds like the sort of crap you’d claim credit for disseminating.
Zing! LOL
Read the Supreme Court .pdf and get back to me. LOL.
Aw, so cute.
Take-a-poo doing zoomies around the room because his buddy Fake Trae has made a reappearance.
Well, Peter McCullough has said it looks like daughter cells in the vaccinated might be producing spike protein (e.g, the enzyme reverse transcriptase converting mRNA back to DNA which might get inserted into cells).
https://alethonews.com/2021/10/20/the-covid-testimony-of-dr-peter-mccullough/
If the DNA from the ‘vaccines’ incorporate into your cells, then it’s a gift for life. This is more plausible than one might think.
David Baltimore shared the Nobel prize for showing that “viruses with genomes consisting of RNA can also be inserted into host cells’ DNA.”
Time will tell…..
They GMO’d animals. They GMO’d food. They will GMO everything, if they are not stopped.
Bhakti said something similar, IIRC, and they have been trying to destroy him.
Taxdonkey
I read Baltimore’s work. Concerning!
He basically says that virions inject RNA and a polymerase into cells that using reverse transcription create DNA that may incorporate into modified cellular DNA. That modified DNA produces with the workings of the cell, viral RNA and polymerase which goes onto the next set of cells.
These modified cells that McCollough is calling daughter cells can produce all parts of the virus, including the s protein coating and the polymerase.
It is not a gift for life in most cases. When the daughter cell expresses virion material, it will be IDed as non-self and destroyed by the immune system. That assumes the immune system recognizes the daughter cell as foreign.
Unknown. The infection of a cell requires both RNA and reverse transcription to incorporate into a daughter cell. Does a mRNA only allow the reverse transcription phase that creates the viral DNA that gets incorporated into the new daughter cell. IOW, can mRNA injected into a cell from the vaxx, join with the cell DNA to create daughter cells. Then, in case it can, can the combination hide from the immune system?
McCollough is making a lot of assumptions here to generate his bank of daughter cells that will spit out s proteins forever. The ability of mRNA by itself to create daughter cells and even more important to create DNA modified cells that become cancerous definitely needs to be investigated. Demonstration of the ability to modify the nuclear DNA by vaxx mRNA will be the death of the technology.
The ability for mRNA to change DNA is a conjecture right now.
IMHO, thanks to how much capital is invested in mRNA, my guess is that it will take an independent to do the research away from a global system fighting them.
BTW, IF mRNA is able to modify cells into virion or even s protein generating daughter cells or even cancer cells without the polymerase, humanity is in deep shit.
Australia’s highest health authority says it’s impossible for the mRNA fragment used in the vaccines to modify our DNA.
I think I’ll accept their position over Internet websites.

Hey people of Tuskegee here is an inoculation to ward off Syphilis!!
JAZ, if the cells split and both are expressing spike, it’s in the freakin DNA, presumably because of reverse transcriptase. This is the kind of thing they should have done animal experiments on before inoculating all of humanity, then we’d know this shit already.
It has already been confirmed. There is no if.
Keep in mind, this is just one step in co-opting all of nature, and changing its DNA. The GMO-ing of the natural world.
Being a patented entity also means the Human Rights Act, nor State Rights, no longer apply to you as you’re effectively ‘trans-human’.”
Where do you get this stuff from? The Onion?
You have not identified the source of the quote. Where does the paragraph in bold come from? Certainly not from the PDF. The 2018 Supreme Court decision relates to a synthetic DNA patent dispute – nothing to do with vaccination.
Precedent bitchez.
Law and medicine. Not your forte eh?
Maybe too much crisp Chardonnay last night…
This is thick, even for you, ianw. They set up the laws before they pull the wool over our eyes. Again and again.
What laws? Read the US Constitution … the Supreme Court doesn’t make laws – it settles questions of law that are in dispute.
In the case above, the Court ruled that a genomic variant found in DNA could not be patented just because you find it, since it occurs naturally. However if you produce a synthetic sequence in the lab, then you could patent it.
Written by your favourite Supreme, Clarence Thomas.
Now tell us how that relates to what you’re hyper-ventilating about – or at least identify who wrote the so-far-unattributed quote.
I didn’t say SCOTUS makes the laws, you thickie.
Another strawman, what a hoot.
Yeah and laws weren’t made in the 1980s either, to give immunity to vaccine manufacturers, to prepare for the onslaught on overvaccinating children which has resulted in 1 out of 40 children being autistic either, I suppose.
What a numpty (thanks, GA).

LOL.
The headline of that Tweet is illuminating:
“A dystopian F******* nightmare is being sold as a vison for the future by the government of Ireland!”
Aside from the Q-level errors, the idea that what is being promoted here is a “dystopian nightmare” is simply ridiculous.
The part where the cultist scans her QR-code-equipped digital ID to be allowed to enter the pub is my favorite.
That will be you soon enough. If you get your quaxxine every three months.

There goes MaryQAnon again, talking tripe.
I think the Covidometer on the lower right of the screen is a nice touch.

“The cultist”? Who’s in an actual cult, here, Sonny Jim? Check in your mirror.
Where I live, anti-vax wankers are not permitted into our local bar. This makes it a much more pleasant place to be.
LOL indeed … far two much twittering I think.
Australia has long had a VaxPass system, using QR-Code scanning, and a Green Tick vaccine status check.
Perfectly simple to use, and pretty reasonable compliance in places that really matter – but less so in supermarkets and department stores.
With huge case numbers though, one wonders what its effectiveness is in contact tracing – although it does assist self-isolation, if you’re identified as being a close contact via the QR-Code registration.
And guess what? We are not under the heel of jackboots, we’re not forced to say “Heil Klaus” – and there is very little clutching of pearls or attacks of the vapours.
People are grown-ups … this is a pandemic, a public health issue. It’s not the end of the world, and it’s not a Great Reset.
When did you people give up entirely on notions of democracy and freedom? It’s quite bizarre to watch – really is like anthropology 101.
People are grown ups?
That’s not what the news out of Sidney and Melbourne indicates.
There is crazy stuff going on – after nearly two years of quite tight restrictions, and therefore very low numbers, just as the cases are going mad, the prime minister and a few state premiers are saying, “Let ‘er rip!”.
They are very scared of an angry populace if they re-enter lockdown mode, and equally scared of tanking the economy – this is an election year for a few places.
But QR-Codes and the VaxPass are now part of life … no drama, no enslavement.
The unvaxxed aren’t being vilified particularly – and as in America, Darwin will rule and they will be culled of their own accord, one suspects.
And it is Sydney, BTW.
It’s hard to believe anyone is as moronic as you are.
LMAO.
When you’re on the cattle car, you’ll still be crying ‘tinfoil hat’ – lol.
This sick shit only appeals to the most cowardly, cowed, dependent, weak and duped among us. SMH.
Q has covid? How does he know? Maybe it’s just a cold? Did he get tested? Does he really believe that the test can distinguish between the two, assuming it has any validity at all?
And tate jar. I asked that. They may have caved to their families. Pray
Q has covid? How does he know?
As a wild guess, I would say he tested positive to the Covid-19 virus.
The tests don’t work. Try again!
I see you’re still desperately trying to keep up with the other two village idiots on the “virus is a hoax” bandwagon. How pathetic …
Poor Q! And remember how he said he was chided for being unvaxed at Christmas. He posted that he had tested positive. He really should provide an update after posting something so troubling and worry creating..
Do you think Q gives one damn about the tests reliability right now? He feels like crap and wants to get well.
The Three Amigos have their “virus is a hoax” pantomime to keep in the air, JAZ … they’ll say anything at all, and being unconnected to reality doesn’t matter.
Look at you the troll on his attack vector claiming what you are the only sane person here?
Piss off loser.
Nothing you spew is close to reality.
If enough of the instigators head for the exits of their own accord, the rest of us may move to forget this this whole mess quickly as well.
then the roaring 20s can get off to a belated start…
Hey Ianw……
just in case you missed my response above……
“That Right there is Some really
Hilarious stuff Mr Troll………… !!
So, Let me ask you this Ianw……….
How many Million board feet of timber,
North American Hardwood timber to be exact
Have you, cut, and or hauled or seen in its Natural habitat ??????????
Say anything you want………..
I personally couldn’t give a “Flying fuck”
What you think about me ………..
You (Ianw) are just another Feckless Cunt,
Who doesn’t even know as much about the hardwood
Forest industry……. Then most of the men I worked with
have forgotten.”
And……… My reply to John…………
“No John, that was not what I was saying
“So you are saying that the overcrowding of trees like pines, elms, chestnuts and lately sugar maples does not enhance the spread of disease?”
Pines, yes. Everywhere the state of NY, replanted pines
On the old wore out ground in the 30’s
That were never thinned, they had issues………….
Hardwood forests ………. Never, Ever.
Elms, chestnuts, maples even the hemlock now…. NO.
Have you ever seen the pictures of the chestnuts in the
Appalachian mts before the Blight ????
Massive trees…….. 6 to 8 (even 12) feet thru the bases…… Hundreds of yrs old
Elm trees, 7 feet thru, 40 feet to the first limb, 150 to 200 yrs old……..
Never had an issue till when…????
The hard maple, grew here for a thousand yrs,
Now all of a sudden its got a blight ????
Even the hemlock (Yes its considered a “Hardwood”)
Has got an “Asian” Blight, which they
are now inoculating the trees in Penn. for…………
Have you stood in,
Stands of Sugar Maples, 4 to 6 feet thru,
That have been in constant use as a sugar bush
for almost as long as 200 yrs………..
This country had NO, known blights in its hardwoods
till the chestnut blight arrived here
in the early part of 1900.
Again I ask, as a resident of a state that has
6 (Six) Million acres of “State Owned”
Forests (Not federal, State), A man that has lived the forestry
and sawmill life……..
How many, Million, board feet, of timber
have you cut, hauled and even sawed ???
I’m not trying to be Pissy here John,
I’m not trying to be a “Know it all”
But, When something is said………
That has Absolutely NO facts to back it up
I call it, as I see It.
Just stating the facts”.
So Again Ianw………..
Why was it, that for a thousand yrs………
there was Never, Ever, an issue with the “Hardwood Trees”, in N America………….
Till the introduction of diseases/ blights from some other country ????????
Answer me please, Mr. Knowledge.
And all of this because………………….
I, Called John out on this One, statement.
““The American elm was planted too much by pioneers eventually causing Dutch Elm disease.”
Yup, ok Ianw………
My previous statement to you still stands.
The dutch elm fungus killed nearly all the elms in my town. The final elm on elm street was removed about ten years ago. Down the street there is a huge elm, probably 4-5 ft. at the base. The thing throws seedlings like crazy. Being that it is a survivor I figure maybe it has some resistance to the disease. I’ve planted several of it’s offspring and so far so good. I never realized those elms grow 2-3 feet a year. They’re super fast growers.
I’m old enough to remember, when it ravaged
The elms here in the North East……
Mile after Mile of elms along the highways
Died……. They still cut it and haul it to the mill
mostly “Box factory” wood……….
If they had just planted a couple of more species in and around the elms, maybe they would have had a fighting chance. The fungus was spread by insects that just jumped from tree to tree where they grew together.
The planting too close and unispecies did not cause Dutch Elm disease, it enhanced it., okay?
I can live with that mister !!!!!!
that I can get behind !!!!!!!!
You are a good man John !
“The American elm was planted too much by pioneers eventually causing Dutch Elm disease.”’
I don’t think this is what caused Dutch elm disease. I don’t think “pioneers” planted a lot of elms.
As for trees causing disease . . . that doesn’t sound right. If left to their own devices, trees find their own spacing via a series of a “succession” events, until the forest reaches a type of stasis and simply . . . matures, and becomes ever more complex, biologically speaking. (The older the tree, the more carbon it sequesters, by the way.) Of course some seedlings die. Of course old trees die, and become “nursery” trees for many other organisms (fungi, birds, insects, etc), including new trees.
According to Peter Wohlleben, The Hidden Life of Trees, trees have a complex underground system of chemical communication, much of it facilitated by fungi. Trees that naturally grow close together form a healthier natural community than lone trees have.
Wilbur, I had a huge investation of the wooly adelgids on my hemlocks
( another present from China). I thought they were all goners. We had some terrible cold weather a few years back and it wiped out the fuzzy sumbitches. My hemlocks are clean and healthy now. I have a feeling the little pricks will be back though.
I will add another item to my post later.
Global warming, the ability of our native forests to adapt to changing temperatures and resultant pests would be another stress factor.
Is it global warming that brought the pests and blight, or global trade?
Mary
Same statement I have made later.
The forests are under stress by the issues I have identified. Global warming is stressing forests amongst other issues.
Global trade brings in disease , insects, weeds, etc to sicken and kill the trees.
Local disease development is usually slow allowing development of resistance by local species, mostly.
Bringing in new disease is usually catastrophic.
The factors I mention are precursors, weakening trees, making it harder to fight pests.
Humans are just another species, global interplay may be the cause of human decline as the barrage of diseases from all the continents overwhelms the human ability to adapt. More human deaths have been caused by disease than all the wars.
My mom said the Japanese beetles and earwigs and stuff came in the 1980s, with all the re-doubled trade with China.
It was clearly overpopulation and the Coroneau.
I have the factz.
Another invasive species and a big stressor for the hardwood forest is the lowly nightcrawler, New England had none until the Europeans brought them. Good for the garden but bad for the forest.
Add on gypsy moths, and killer bees to that. Both hybrids created by humans.
Didn’t Kudzu get imported from China?
Another anecdote. My grandfather had a beautiful Maple tree in his back yard. One summer while I was visiting, caterpillars by the hundreds dropped out of that tree on silk threads after chewing it back to the quick. Next visit, it was gone. I never knew if that was gypsy moths.
yep, they were gypsy moths………
“The most common method of combatting HWA involves chemical treatments that aid in stopping HWAs from harming the hemlocks. Applied manually, tree-by-tree, treatment periods can range from five years up to eight years or more.”
They are applying this to the hemlocks in western PA
https://www.dcnr.pa.gov/GoodNatured/pages/Article.aspx?post=101
Is the chemical biodegradable? Are they just creating a future problem?
They seem to be having good results with it for the time being……..
They are using it in a stand of trees that were never cut
Virgin timber
I had a stand of four large hemlocks on my small in-town property. I noticed some woolly adelgid and called a tree guy. He did a treatment on the trees, spraying, and soaking some stuff into the ground around them. He did say that this little stand of trees were the healthiest hemlock he’d seen on Cape Cod.
They seemed to be fine for about 10 years after that. I don’t know the current status.
Wlburshuman
Holy cow, I have never agreed with someone’s post more than yours. Introduced disease and insects have destroyed much of the stands of forest in America.
My point precedes yours. Two things set the stage to make the disease progression easier.
One over crowding from fire suppression, allowing undergrowth and weak trees to survive making more biomass for fire to burn, also trees too close together allowing touch between the same species of trees facilitating disease or vector spread. N the west, a forest should not be continuous, but a patchwork of climax forest, aspens (first growth) and meadows. Fire suppression, good old Smoky the Bear, disturbed this balance, and led to the wildfires we see now.
Your hardwood forests are comprised of a myriad of species. I lived in Md. as a youth and I remember all kinds of species just in our back yard. Hard for a species dependent “bug” to decimate a forest when all kinds of species exist.
Another thought, pollution, acid rain, etc.. I read an article long ago talking about the stunting of the forest growth in the Smokies being caused by acid rain from coal fired plants in the area.
Enjoying our exchange.
About twelve years ago, we were diving over Raton Pass going into Colorado. The ponderosa spines were totally gone with only trunks left. Another is the area around Santa Fe which was at one time, pinyon pine, cedar and juniper intermixed. Now it is cedar and juniper only, as the pinyons are all dead. Beetle kill, both of them.
We lost our beautiful elm trees in Connecticut. They were majestic, giant elms used to line the streets. It was before my time but I’ve seen countless photos.
Excellent discussion, folks.
I can’t even Imagine what the “Virgin forests were like John………..
“The nether reaches of Wisconsin were so heavily forested before 1870 that an early settler, Asaph Whittlesey, expressed fear that his wife would never be comfortable in a place where it was impossible to see the sky.”
By 1870, there was only 4% forested land left in central NY…. the hills were completely devoid of any trees……..
Now its said that NY has 61% forested – forests cover 18.6 million acres of our 30.2 million total acres. Much of this land is privately owned and managed for wood …
The big saw mill at Laquin Penn., in the early part of 1900…….. sawed more timber (mostly hemlock)
In One year, than all the rest of the sawmills in the entire US
Combined.
Pretty amazing.
You do realize that one of the energy ideas of the AGW folks is biomass?
Can you just imagine?
heres another thing about forest fires too
After a fire (Out here) the Oaks, are the first tree to come back…………….
something about the fire, activating the acorns quicker……….
And……. you never want to cut oak, where a fire went thru……
I cut a stand where it had burned 70, 80 yrs before
Stuff was stressed, punky in the center, you name it……
Oak along the railroad tracks…… always was like that…… steam loco’s and fire…..
In the west, aspens are the initial cover for fire. They actually spread by the roots and suckers, so that burned out areas recover quickly.
The seeding of pine , fir and spruce bring the forest to climax.
The debates over fire management of eucalypt forests in OZ are perennial and highly controversial – and as usual – between the cool-burn advocates and the let-it-lie ones.
The Land Down Under is not immune:
“Eucalypt dieback is widespread throughout Australia and affects an increasing range of species.
In addition to salt, a 1993 study listed 13 types of insects, five types of fungi, five kinds of vertebrate animals, four climatic perturbations and a parasitic plant that had been implicated as major agents of dieback in southeastern Australia.”
Drive through any well-forested part of the continent and the extent of dieback is extraordinary. Stark white trunks and dead branches.
I’m not proud to say that my great-grandfather was a bullock-train driver, and participated in the destruction of some great hardwood forests – red cedar and mahogany – along the east coast.
You need to be cautious with tree names in Oz – we use terms like pine and fir and ash for trees that are not related to those types in either North America nor Britain.
And Wilbur, I have actually seen a lot of cut timber – I worked on the sawmill train during holidays at university. The place was a unit of Weyerhaeuser.
I’ve also driven from Atlanta to Nova Scotia via Shenandoah NP, and seen a lot of North American woods and forests. From what I’ve read, pollution and global warming are existential threats.
I love trees and forests – some of the tallest trees in the world grow here, and I can’t get enough of them.
And , I almost forgot…………….
My All time favorite tree and wood…………
Ash dieback is a highly destructive disease of ash trees (Fraxinus species), especially the United Kingdom’s native ash species, common ash (Fraxinus excelsior). It is caused by a fungus named Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (H. fraxineus),
>>>which is of eastern Asian origin.<<<
The ash here are almost gone………..
Only took about 5 yrs…………
Not a nicer wood in the world !!!!!!!!!!!!
I've seen and hauled ash trees, that were 4 foot thru on the stump
Could it be that the ignorance of the balance of nature is going to destroy an overpopulated human world?
Kinda my thoughts on it mister !!!!!!!
The Native Americans talked about this
Very thing.
the Lakota, had a greeting…….
“Mitakuye Oyasin” which means…..
All my relations.
Not just people, but every, single, thing
Around us………
We won’t last long if we destroy all those things
Up here in bc pine beetle took out a good part of our forests, you’re right. If they had planted mixed forests, less fires and pests. The non evergreens, the leaved trees make gr8 firebreak but nobody plants them after logging.
We have an oak blight here that has taken most of our oaks.
Original growth…. here, vancouver island, cathedral grove

…Hauling Ash….
I came down with something last week. Who knows what, I’m not doing any testing. My son said he did a home test on himself & it returned a positive result. This was early last week. So maybe I caught it from him. I commented the same to Q.stik when he said he tested positive. He made it sound so ominous like he had contracted Ebola. Well, is he dead yet? I doubt it. He will be around forever afflicting this blog with his special sauce of pedanticism. But some people think it’s charming, I guess, rofl, such as one of these menopausal wimmens.
Tate
Hope it is mild and passes quickly.
Ditto!
Are you feeling better now?
Much better. Thank you to all for asking.
Looks like school’s out in Chicago, maybe for all time. Possibly they’ll never open up again; what’s the point? Now the young scholars — hundreds of thousands of them — will have to study Minister Farrakhan’s speeches and learn about the Panther/CPD shootout in ’68 on their own. Meanwhile, the chaos intensifies as the center collapses, 1000 shot to death in Cook County in ’21, look for that to increase in ’22. We have another Mogudishu on our hands.
You know, maybe this is an attempt by the teacher’s Union to make virtual school the norm?
They want to get paid without having to work. And when they work many of them are destroying the minds and souls of the kids. So it’s maybe not even a bad thing except now families who care have to figure out what to do next and that’s where it should be clear that teachers unions have become the enemies of children and families and thus the country.
Three conservative tropes that seem to endure and endure, even on here:
(1) education makes people stupid
(2) teaching students the real history of race in America makes white kids feel bad and sad
(3) teachers unions are run by woke lesbian marxists.
As a person who shares his life with an elementary school teacher and her friends, I can assure you they absolutely hate online learning, and really want to get back in the classroom.
But they also can’t stand the on-again, off-again stuff that happens whenever there are outbreaks of cases and shutdowns.
Actually ianw if you know big city american public school systems then items 1 and 3 are more or less observable and #2 manifests itself as new left babble about western societal superstructures that anyone over age 35 has heard a million times and can believe has another lease on life.Also soft marxists and soft hearted liberals feel sad and bad about their being criticized for indoctrinating OUR nations future citizens in tired marxist sociology which many of the brighter lights over the last half century can shoot large holes in.
Actually ianw if you know big city american public school systems
No I do not – we’re ensconced Down Under. So I can’t really usefully comment on your points – other than to say that you reliably exhibit all the tropie clothing I was talking about, in your comment. Conservatives are a piece of wonder, no doubt!
And “workingclasshero” is a bit of a stretch … how about “workingclasstraitor”? It might work better.
Don’t you live in Australia? Covid isn’t really an issue for kids so there was never any reason nor is there any reason now that schools should be closed. Indoctrination can certainly make people stupid as can intentional neglect. Substituting math, reading, science, and writing with diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging isn’t a practical answer. Removing standards altogether for their sake harms society but it is happening anyway.
Have no fear, mayor Beetlejuice is on the job.

Lots of interesting additional viewpoints in the comments.
Hmm, what rotten global tendrils do the Biden’s partake in?
I bet Uncle Joe really wished Hunter had carked it rather than Beau!
It will be interesting to see what is actually happening. Right now, there are reports that range from Nato-expansionist-funded Soros-style terrorists to a genuine revolution resulting from the population being informed that they require a Covid pass to withdraw money from the bank.
The brave new world of information warfare has certainly made our timeline interesting.
Right now, there are reports …
LOL That’s right up there with Fox News and “Some people say …” – just so pathetic.
The entire post was speculative, you muppet.
N.O.
On Kaz, I would check out The Saker’s newest. I reckon he is right.
Lots of amplifying comments. This is partly a planned play. Russkies had intel, and planned accordingly.

Don’t forget, in a study with thousands of hiv positive subjects 2 times 90 mgs of selenium daily prevented aids for the 20 year duration of the study.
I feel a sense of relief and like an lol contentment and I feel safe now. Oh sorry that was a different study lol!
Almost certainly fake news. The systematic debunking of “Daily Expose” here:
https://www.logically.ai/articles/actors-behind-uk-misinformation-site-the-daily-expose
So, my advise would be to take, say, the article – based on UK government statistics tables – demonstrating that the vaxxed are incrementally losing immune system function (i.e. acquiring AIDS), compare The Expose’s tables with the original tables, and point out the discrepancies. Then get back to us, with some FACTS.
It’s time you did some actual work, for a change, so get to it, troll.
Evidence eagerly awaited, thanks. Ad homs are so tiresome.

CANUCKS, petition to get rid of trudy. Almost to 300k
Hawk, get on this! And we’ll meet south of Regina in say summer 2026.
You pick where. Lemme know!
If not now, when? He’s turned Canada into a full-blown WEF police state in just two years.
Lol why 2026?
Ssl, my understanding is the purification began dec 8th and our only recourse apart from God and Jesus is the Virgin Mary. The purification lasts 3.5 years. So, for those who survive till june 2024 or so, it will take awhile to get our sht together and meet up.
If we do go to set places, we could leave signs or maps in predetermined places, or maybe just the town square, about where our communities are and how best to get there. This is just my speculation.

For those few of you who want to know, apart from the apostles of the end times, found at countdowntothekingdom, etc., there will also be elijah, going by some other name, not a priest. A young man, speaking truth with love. It will take faith to recognise him. And here is how to recognise him. He will appear when all seems lost, including our faith. When we are hiding beneath the rubble of a mountain to evade the antichrist. I just found this.

Also, I think jim and kennedy and zelenko and others are these apostles too, they just don’t know it, or maybe they do!
Kennedy and Dr. Zelenko are in a different category when it comes to Covid, both pointing out that it is unquestionably is an ongoing crime.
Zelenko calls it mass genocide, just like Dr. Yeadon.
That said, they also have the credentials.
Night, Jim has to walk a very fine line. The link and prophesy says ‘men of goodwill’. I think we can include our host and others in that category without a shadow of a doubt.
Anmari–Great news!
He and all of his WEF muck should be exposed, called out, and swept away with some social sulfuric acid.
Beautiful Fox doco tonight on Big Bend NP in Texas – we’ve been to most national parks west of the Mississippi, but Big Bend we haven’t reached. Maybe one day post Covid!
Romanian protests (including from the police) force lifting of clot shot mandate, and the incredibly tyrannical “Green Pass” for work has been revoked.

How about this, for those who have noticed the internment camps/mega-prisons being built in various countries around the world?

“Pope backs vaccine and urges reality therapy to correct ‘baseless information’”
Not sure if our own troll has had enough success (he’s had none, except in clogging up the works, but I guess his paymasters will take what they can get) to get a job on the therapeutic side of things, or if he’ll just be used to serve the insect burgers.
Will the therapy include er … injectables, I wonder.

And now, ladies and gents, I give you the DELTACRON variant.
So, the UK government having just said a fourth jab shouldn’t be needed for now, can, y’know, revise its guidance.

In their “compassionate wisdom”, the Globalist-Oligarch-Eugenicists and their money-changing purchased sycophants, are determined to preserve the ecology of earth for themselves, their descendants, and their purchased sycophants, and the minimum “essential” producers and consumers required, to sustain the “markets”.
Pursuant to their published agenda, spelled out on the Georgia Guidestones, their mainly compassionate means of providing early involuntary retirement remains in force, with plausible deniability.

Rest in Peace, Bob Saget.
Although your comedic talents provided much relief to the many, your non-essential status simply could not be ignored.

GODSPEED!!
Bob Saget was an asshole.
The Soylent Green thing was more predictive programming, IMHO.
Oh and Saget got boostered before he ‘mysteriously’ died of ‘natural causes’/’no reason’ (depending on which rag you read).
Life’s Rich Pageant is producing a series of mainly compassionate endings to many unsuspecting…..
Check the hotel CCT hallway camera footage from around the time of death – odds are there’s a hooker on the tape that knows something about this tragedy.
Betty White, Bob Saget, John Madden (died unexpectedly), Jean-Marc Vallee, Carlos Tejada all in the last couple weeks.
“You see, this total vaccination fantasy is meant to compensate for that inability to govern in a time of epic turbulence.”
Witches are traditionally burned at the stake. So, put a pin in that thought, and keep it handy in the near future.
Great article, James. Thank you.
The virus has weakened the economies of the whole world.

So the establishment are beginning to realise that Covid-19 failed to bring about the desired societal changes.
What is the betting that (aw shucks folks) a “Covid-22” mysteriously appears in the next few months?
