The public health bureaucrat who styles himself as “the Science” is at it again. In his quest to eliminate the control group for his experiment in hazardous mRNA injections, Dr. Anthony Fauci reiterated his warning that the nation faces “a crisis of the unvaccinated.” Omicron is upon us, he told a US Chamber of Commerce meet-up this week, and the hospitals will soon be overwhelmed by the unvaxxed.

Oh really? In fact, the gravest threat to America’s public health is… Dr. Tony Fauci and his debauchery of medical science. This will surely come as a surprise to readers of The New York Times, who see in the two-year (so far) Covid-19 event a splendid opportunity to hasten the destruction of the US economy and our culture in order to consolidate their own power to coerce and control the population. Clear the offices! Shut down the social spaces! Make ordinary business as difficult as possible! Cancel Christmas! That’ll git’er done!

In fact, Dr. Fauci is likely responsible for a preponderance of the total 802,000 US Covid deaths — putting aside the number of people who actually died from highway accidents, cancer, diabetes, old age, and other causes, but were listed as covid deaths by hospital accounting personnel avid for federal subsidy cash.

It was Dr. Fauci who organized the suppression of easily marshalled and inexpensive early treatments for the disease, namely hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, fluvoxamine, budesonide, azithromycin, monoclonal antibodies, Vitamin D, etc. It was Dr. Fauci who promoted the protocol of sending sick patients home from the ER without any treatment to await the further development of fatal clotting in their lungs. It was Dr. Fauci who designated the drug remdesivir — which he developed years ago for hepatitis-C (it did not work) with a financial stake in the patents — as the primary inpatient treatment for Covid-19. And then it turned out that remdesivir destroys patients’ kidneys and is ineffective anyway in late treatment of the disease when viral loads wane and spike proteins have already created the fatal capillary clots in the alveoli of the lungs and in other organs.

It’s Dr. Fauci who is responsible for the emergency use authorization on the mRNA “vaccines” that may have killed hundreds of thousands more Americans — based on the CDC’s VAERS system and statistical analysis of its inherent under-reporting at only 2.2 percent of all actual events— and you can add multiples more in non-fatal adverse reactions, including permanent disabilities. It’s Dr. Fauci who finagled the inadequate and botched trials of the mRNA vaccines in order to rush them into use. And now it’s Dr. Fauci who wants to vaxx up all the children in America, despite evidence that the mRNA shots permanently disable children’s innate natural immune systems and can cause lasting heart, blood vessel, brain, and reproductive damage, and also despite the fact that few children are susceptible to serious Covid illness in the first place.

The omicron moment may be the power-mad little weasel’s last stand. Reports so far indicate that omicron is a mild form of the virus. The one death reported to date did not include any information about the patient’s co-morbidities. For all we know, it was a motorcycle wreck with an omicron-positive label slapped on.

Dr. Fauci is now warning that America’s hospitals will be overwhelmed (and that it will be the fault of the unvaxxed). Consider this: He predicted the same thing for the first wave of the virus in the winter of 2020 and then the giant emergency hospital set-up in New York’s convention center was never used, nor was the US naval hospital ship brought up for Covid duty. Consider also: going forward, there may be more deaths from the delayed pernicious effects of the vaxxes — namely, the spike proteins which are now observed to linger in the organs and blood vessels as long as fifteen months after the shot — than deaths from the Covid-19 virus itself.

By the way, while Dr. Anthony Fauci may represent the leadership of the corrupt US public health bureaucracy, we cannot let the medical establishment itself off-the-hook for this epic fiasco of crisis mis-management. There are roughly a million doctors in America, and all but a tiny fraction of them have gone along with Dr. Fauci’s wrongful and harmful edicts. The doctors were the ones who flushed sick people out of their ERs without treatment. The doctors had to be forced by court orders to administer useful non-vaxx treatments to sick patients. The doctors continue to administer remdesivir despite its obvious toxicity and uselessness. US doctors went along with the lockdowns and the destruction of livelihoods, households, and futures. Doctors appear to support vaxx “passports” and other coercive measures. And now US doctors are going along with the malevolent effort to vaxx-up all the kids.

American doctors have proven to be cowards, cravens, zombies, and fools facilitating Dr. Fauci’s evil campaign — in concert with the rapacious pharmaceutical industry and a government in thrall to sinister forces that seek to destroy the country. The doctors have disgraced and dishonored themselves. The doctors have probably undermined their own vocations, as well as the entire armature of US health care, which they have allowed to become history’s worst racketeering operation. You can be sure it is going to collapse now, along with the equally degenerate financial system and, alas, much of the on-the-ground daily business of our country. For that you can also blame the geniuses behind “Joe Biden.”

The question is: will the people of this land submit to continued coercion and to the engineered demolition of their lives? So far, we have not rolled over like the pathetically servile Europeans and Australians. Here, there is apparently some will to resist further pushing around by this demonic elite. Several federal judges recently defined clear constitutional red-lines in their published decisions against the vaxx mandates.

Plenty of ordinary citizens are furious over the insidious and insane incursions of the political Wokery hitched to the Covid emergency — the race and gender hustles, the efforts to rig elections, the absurd spending programs aimed at countless grifting operations, the disastrous monetary inflation, and the invasion of opportunists from all over the world across our border with Mexico. Even at Christmas time, with all its transient preoccupations, it’s not too much to ask: where do you stand?

      The Little Bastard needed to be tried and punished for murder. The crisis of the unvaxxed is a crisis for those who are murdering us, and it is a crisis because we know what they are doing and why. Damn their eyes!

        There’s a mountain of evidence to convict Fauci but he has such a stranglehold on grant money & allegiance to the pharmaceuticals that it’ll take a Congressional investigation to bring out all the facts. Under Biden, it won’t happen.

        I’m reading Kennedy’s book now and he was able to get away with an astonishing amount of malpractice and, the real scientists who challenged him, he did his best to destroy. Going along with all the lies was a lazy and compliant media, happy to cover-up or magnify any lie that came out of his mouth. And they’re still at it. Nothing has changed yet.

        Our only hope to dislodge this man is to refuse to vaccinate children and keep electing people who stand up to this grifter.

        Dr. Robert Malone who was the inventor of the mRNA vaccine put out this simple, straightforward statement that I hope will open some eyes:

          The greatest problem that occurs when money and material wealth become the god of the land is that money has no morals or principles and neither do those that worship at that alter. Everything that makes money becomes acceptable and even the death of most of the society is good because those with the most money will profit from the deaths.

          When the Sellouts in Black Dresses ruled that corporations were people too it was the beginning of the end of the American citizen because “a corporation, essentially, is a pile of money to which a number of persons have sold their moral allegiance….It can experience no personal hope or remorse. No change of heart. It cannot humble itself. It goes about its business as if it were immortal, with the single purpose of becoming a bigger pile of money.”

          There will be no turning back, because without morality or
          principles, a society is doomed.

          • SW December 17, 2021 at 12:37 pm #

            And the Supreme Court added to the power of corporations with Citizens United under Obama. Money talks.

          The only way to stop this is to quit playing their totalitarian game.

          If there is no hope for Congress to do a legitimate investigation we should form The Peoples Nuremberg Tribunal Against Covid Crimes and do it ourselves. Put all these members of Congress to shame and get them all fired!

          The main purpose of this tribunal would have to be the education of the American people, with the spurring of indictments.

          Dr. Marik, Dr. Kory, Dr. McCullough, Dr. Atlas, Dr. Risch, Bobby Kennedy, Jr. and all their peers they have been working with all over the world, plus all the brave lawyers they have behind them, know the charges very well.

          Time to get medieval on Fauci and Co.

          STOP THE JABS NOW!

          • Walter B December 17, 2021 at 4:49 pm #

            Yes indeed. I never answered Jim’s question of where I stand, but I say screw you Ralph Barick, Tony Fauci, and Jerkoff Joe Biden! You want me dead, come and kill me or send your patsies in their pretend-to-be ninja warrior costumes to do it for you! I will not initiate violence, but I will not comply to your voluntary suicide agenda.

            And screw any of the kiss asses who think I am putting them at risk by not becoming a vax junkie like they did – you want me dead to keep you safe? Ditto!

            If they want us dead they can come and kill us, and confiscating firearms, bows & arrows, and kitchen knives is NOT going to protect you from we who choose to defend ourselves against being kidnapped and murdered if they do come for us. I have a real nice club I carved with my chain saw shaped like a fat wooden machete that I would love to bash in your empty craniums with, or better yet, how about a little fire, Scarecrow?

            Sorry about that Jesus, but I needed to say that. You told us that laying down our lives for another was a noble deed, but you also promised forgiveness if I choose to fight being murdered!

          • SW December 18, 2021 at 8:45 am #

            @Starlost — it was about campaign contributions and was framed as a free speech issue.

            Citizens United is a conservative 501 (c) (4) nonprofit organization in the United States founded in 1988. In 2010, the organization won a U.S. Supreme Court case known as Citizens United v. FEC, which struck down as unconstitutional a federal law prohibiting corporations and unions from making expenditures in connection with federal elections.

            This decision opened the door to a flood of dark money cash and the ability for corporations (as “people”) to have a much greater influence on elections.

            The Court noted that §441b’s prohibition on corporate independent expenditures and electioneering communications is a ban on speech and “political speech must prevail against laws that would suppress it, whether by design or inadvertence.”

      Covid Crusher: Mix one heaped teaspoon of Iodine table salt in a mug of warm clean water, cup a hand and sniff or snort the entire mugful up your nose, spitting out anything which comes down into your mouth. If sore, then you have a virus, so continue morning noon and night, or more often if you want, until the soreness goes away (2-3 minutes) then blow out your nose and flush away, washing your hands afterwards, until when you do my simple cure, you don’t have any soreness at all, when you flush – job done. Also swallow a couple of mouthfuls of salt water and if you have burning in your lungs, salt killing virus and pneumonia there too.

      My simple salt water cure, kills all Coronaviruses and viruses, as soon as you think you have an infection, or while self isolating, before the viruses mutate into the disease in your head and body, for which there is no cure.

      I have been doing this simple cure for over 27 years and I am and others never sick from viruses and there is no reason why any of you should be either – when your only alternative are those vaccines!!

        Within the next 2 years, in all probability, the next generation and all of their children will be wiped out, because of these vaccines – the lifestyle and things you have come to rely on, on a day to day basis, will cease to exist when the people who maintain the invisible structure are no longer alive, or well enough to do that and we face a whole new, very different future, where the things we have produced over thousands of years cease to exist – Law, Police, Education, Shops, Electricity, Gas, Car Fuel, population density and so on and those who survive the coming “holocaust”, those who have not been vaccinated and refuse to be, like me, will have to find new ways to survive in a rapidly depopulating reality, as those vaccinated die, because there is simply no way to save them – in the end, the Elite will own everything and we, the “Human Garbage” will own nothing and we will be happy – not if I can put a spanner in their works, that is!!

      You Mr Kunstler have been doing a great disservice for 2 years by saying there is a covid pandemic.By harping on other treatments. By saying a varient called Omnicron exists. Its all been bullshit from day 1. [ Check out Event 201 ] And Europe and Australia are having huge protests, in the 100,000′ and up. See them on bitchute. America is the brainwashed sheep nation. And the people who bear the most responsiblity for the seniors dying from ventilators or fear are their children who abandoned them.

    Where do I stand?

    First, I fled fascist California for a rural area of flyover country. It is a radical departure from how I am used to living but I don’t care. I’d rather walk around in this forest than Venice Beach. Second, NO ONE in my household is vaxxed and we never will be – ever. Nothing short of a kinetic assault on my home will change my mind and then they’ll just have to vaxx my dead body.

    Next, I’m done paying Federal Taxes. I will not give money to the monsters that did this. Let them print their blood money.

    Finally, I am well prepared for what is coming next and plan to be there to hold these eugenicists accountable for what they’ve done.

    I’m preparing for war.

      Where do I stand? Well, I’m told over and over that most people can see through this BS, and yet at my place of employment they are 100% believing of Fauci. The insanity being taught at my work? Phrases like “Everyone can succeed if you just try hard enough” is a “microagression” as is the phrase “all lives matter”. 80+ people in my office, 400+ in North America, thousands worldwide – never heard a dissenting voice, only cult-like evangelism of the daily bread they are fed. A coworker yesterday on a international call going on about how they wish our covid measures were stricter in the states and that we don’t have our shit together. Another coworker complaining that he thought he was going to die after his recent booster that had him immobilized for three days with headaches and fever, and he says he never gets fevers, but then says it’s worth it, and he’ll get the next booster too because his doctor said the good news is the booster he just got will protect him against omicron (which is the opposite of true) – then he goes on to query, “you know, I’m still getting these random sharp headaches throughout the day, and random fever spikes”, but never draws the connection that the cure is worse than the disease. In fact, proudly state it’s “worth it” to prevent the disease. This is the world I live in, so while I stand with sanity, I am adrift in a sea of insanity.

      There’s a great video on the subject of “mass formation” which helps explain the monster that leads to and props up totalitarianism. The speaker is a psychologist named Mattias Desmet. In it he proses that only a third have truly drank the koolaid, another 1/3 goes along to get along, and the final third are the types of people who post on here and can see through the BS and won’t put up with it. The problem is that the impression is that it’s 2/3 people who fully believe the BS. I hope he’s right that it’s actually 2/3 who can see through it and we just need that spark to unravel the insanity.

        Look on the bright side. It really is the first serious intelligence test given to all of Humanity in centuries, maybe millennia. Yes and most people will fail. And this is a True False question not an essay so it will not be graded on the curve. Tough Love and it sounds like your Co-Workers are going to get what they deserve.

        When I started my college education in 1970 the University President told all the incoming Freshmen and their parents that 2/3 rds of the students present would not graduate. How does that compare to the psychologist breakdown of who is a serious and intelligent person and who is not.

        Don’t know how the Globalists will be doing after thinning the herd and getting people like ourselves. Could be a Bad Day at Blackrock.

          =========

          I received a similar message at my St Joe’s College freshman orientation in 1958. The Dean said to the assembled new freshman: “Look to your left… now look to your right… one of you three will not be here at the end of this school year.”

          Being the literalist that I am I was sorely tempted to raise my hand and say “Father, how does that work out number-wise for the students seated at the ends of these rows?” but even at 17 y/o I knew somehow this wouldn’t be a good idea.

            Truth be told, that kind of talk–claiming their standards were rigorous–was a con, even back in 1970.

          Yes Bull Gator, I and a number of my associates have been saying that more often these days – the culling looks like it might be more of a cleansing of the truly stupid. Maybe their plan isn’t so bad because once the idiots are gone the John Galts who remain might be left alone or maybe even encouraged to rebuild it all. Maybe that’s what “build it back better” means, kill off the assholes and start a new game.

            Watched a great vid about Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s ideas on the growth of evil at certain times in history. As a prisoner of the Nazis, he believed that the problem wasn’t evil per se, but that of stupidity. But stupidity in a moral rather than an intellectual sense. He believed that many, many humans are simply incapable of recognising evil in their midst. This has nothing to do with IQ: some of the stupidest most sheep-like people I know concerning the China flu hysteria have massively high IQs, while those who know exactly what is going on and who refuse the vax, are all what these intellectuals would think of as “stupid” people: barbers, mechanics, supermarket shelf stackers, etc.

            The most important thing right now is to establish informal local systems to support anybody who loses their livelihood for scoring too high on the intelligence test. There are people who have dependents that need the income or that otherwise face a price they see as higher than that of their own lives–granted that if they are killed it will be even worse, but many feel forced to take the gamble. We need a real resistance.

            I stopped paying taxes… in March 2003. Haven’t heard from them now for almost 20 years. – debt

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

            That’s interesting. I have diligently filed every year of my work life and beyond (17 years of retirement) but have always wondered what would happen if I just quit filing.

            Were you funding a 401k thru your employer? And, if so, did you hit the magic age (it used to be 701/2) at which point you were required to take RMDs (Required Minimum Distributions). I always figured 401k distributions on which taxes were owed would cause the IRS to raise an eyebrow.

            I can say this with certainty, my BIL Peter abruptly ceased filing tax returns when his wife died in 2014 (she is the one who handled all administrative type tasks) and there has not been a peep out of the IRS. Since Peter has come under my wife’s and my wing for his very survival, and I have had to sort out his financial affairs I have come to realize how utterly inept Peter is. If you were to ask Peter “how much is 15% of $1,000?” he would try to hide a look of bafflement as if it were some trick complex math problem.

          Repealing the 16th Amendment would likely do more regarding taxes than exposing oneself to the wrath of a 3-letter agency.

          I’ve observed the following:

          People who “fail to file” the “voluntary” tax return get away with it for a few years. Eventually it catches up with them and they are mostly in a world of crap with back taxes owed, fines, penalties, interest, etc. heaped upon them. There is presently no escape. The IRS gets the money first and bankruptcy is no shield.

          Not filing forfeits any return, which is itself an interest-free loan to the federal government. It becomes a gift. Likely you don’t have this in mind.

          Advertise you are in tax revolt and their minions will show up in force at your door. You’ll not only be overwhelmed by the force which shows up, you will become the latest example of what happens to tax revolters.

          Don’t misunderstand me. I see your frustration. I use every available legal avenue to keep as much out of their hands as possible. The government is a corrupt,, self-serving entity. Words which would get me banned from many sites (this is one of the few places self-expression is not stifled).

          Unfortunately, a catastrophe is long overdue. It should collapse from its own weight. It will continue until it doesn’t, and when it doesn’t things should get very interesting.

            One way to help it along would be to eliminate as much income as you can possibly get away with and minimize your part in an evil system. I realize it is all or nothing for many people, but it is time to start thinking creatively in this direction. Also needed are informal support networks for those opting out. Not freeloaders–those can be left on the curbside People need to be getting together, not over the Panopticon Net, but in person to brainstorm this..

          Here’s the rub: It all depends on what one considers “representation” to be. You and I know that we rarely, if ever, benefit from true representation by our elected officials. But the lawyers will tell you that all Americans have elected leaders representing them in Washington, and so they may tax any of us to support that government in its operations.

          The minute you fail to pay what the IRS says you owe, men with guns are dispatched to come drag you off and throw you in a cage.

          So, yes, you can make a statement by not paying, but you have to be willing to go to jail or to die in a “blaze of glory.”

          What the bastards won’t allow is for you to not pay and still go on living your life as a free citizen.

      I also fled CA and settled in a red state. It is a huge difference but I’m very happy here. If I were in flyover country (I grew up there, in the midwest), I’d be way happier walking around in a forest or strolling the shores of Lake Michigan than being on Venice Beach also. California’s lure is its natural beauty and weather, however, it’s not worth it to have to deal with the fascist police state full of wokeism it’s become. My apologies to the brave folks in mostly Orange County who are fighting back. They have quite a battle ahead of them.

      How does one not pay taxes, though? Almost all jobs have direct deposit and remove the taxes from your paycheck. So it doesn’t seem to be possible unless you either have your own business or freelance.

      Ixnay on the Axestay thing.

      It is a well-known, well documented and well-worn procedure that occurs when the IRS identifies a tax dissenter. They make a point in destroying the entity, publicly and will use the “full faith and credit of the US” behind them to do so.

      It will, eventually, dissolve into the kinetic.

      Do not become an object lesson as a result of your efforts. They cannot be allowed to be anything but a harsh lesson to your neighbors.

        Let me make myself clear.

        Fascist Karens shut down my business over the flu so as to steal the 2020 presidential election. They then carpet-bombed my supply chain such that reopening is practically impossible, especially with the chip shortages. They threw open the borders and turned my lovely home at the beach into a 3rd world slum – a very dangerous 3rd world slum forcing me to flee. They paid my workers not to work, handing out fiat like candy in order to test MMT with the result being the worst inflation on record. They drove the people around me insane with mask mandates and social distancing. They coerced my family and friends to inject themselves with poison.

        The food shortages and continental-wide genocide will arrive long before the IRS my friend. You can take that to the bank.

            JT, Nickel, I understand the defiant impulse totally. I too have been under the thumb of the bureaucrats. I have wished, too, to strangle their vital finances. The best I can do, without shooting myself in the foot, is to be as self-sufficient as possible. I cut my own hair, fix my own cars, do my own home repairs, and in general avoid taxable transactions. Once you start, you get good at it. We have a neighborhood food pantry. I told them I don’t need the food, I can buy my own. They said if people don’t take it, it gets thrown out. OK. I take it. I have now a year’s worth of some canned goods. I get free lawnmowers on Craigslist and fix and sell them. No, it’s not very profitable (maybe I can smuggle them to California!). I am retired, so I collect two incomes from the government. I am a net loss for the government. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. But that’s how I reacted to them, and the die is cast.

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder December 18, 2021 at 7:11 am #

            Fuck ‘em. They can try and imprison me, all on their(our) dime. I don’t care.

            The IRS is currently an unbeatable foe. Not because they can’t be beat. But because most people are not inherently wired to take such a stance.

            Above all, including principle, lies self-preservation.

            Immediately below self-preservation is the pursuit of a good life for one’s dependents.

            While standing on principle is obviously the noblest of things one can do, most just look at their boy and say, “Eh, taxes are just something we have to pay, son.”

            And who can blame them? When faced with the stark realities of our own time, we sense that we only get one go ’round on this earth (depending on who and what you believe), and this particular racket is set up to make every day and every month and every year a living hell if we don’t do that one simple thing – pay taxes. They are playing the numbers, and they just need a silent majority to do what they’re told to make life “easy” for their loved ones.

            Much like an insurrection (a real one, not the televised clown show cartoon broadcast last January), it only works when enough people push together at the same time. Without that solidarity, any pushback is easily crushed by the threat and follow-through of the loss of normality for one’s dependents.

            It ain’t right, but it’s a battle most aren’t willing to fight.

            And that’s not a good thing. But it’s understandable.

            They’ve got you by the balls on this one, unless you are unattached and only accountable for yourself in this world. If that is your situation, have at it. But you will most likely end up suffering alone.

            One can ignore this false obligation all they want, but once the notices start coming in the mail (and they will), shit gets real, and it will not stop. Well, until death. Phew.

            I do wish our taxes went to actual public sevices. But we know they don’t, at least not on the federal level. Instead, they merely prop up and fund the sycophants who continue to enslave us while pretending to represent our wellbeing.

            Regardless, the choice to become Sisyphus for the rest of one’s short life is a difficult one, and not without real-life consequences for those who would prefer you be there for them until the end.

            Oddly enough, this is likely only the case because we’re over a hundred years into the income tax indoctrination. Five generations will do the trick. They are trying to do the same thing with forced vaccinations, and I and many others will not comply…though if the National Guard starts showing up at peoples’ doors and threatens to take their children away if they don’t comply, I don’t know how many will actually stand firm. But a hundred years from now, we may not know any better, and it could be just another “reality” to which we acquiesce.

            Note: I am clearly a pessimist. But a sensible one. Faults are part of life. Merry Christmas, everyone!

            This evil is growing stronger and more pervasive, and in ever more blatant ways. It’s quite clearly gaining by the day. Even its biggest “blunders” are soon overlooked, if not entirely forgotten.

            We — all of us, and especially those with little to lose except our so-called freedom — must stand up and be counted right now. Can’t you see how dangerously close they are? The longer we dither, the harder it will be to defeat the evil inherent in their expert-led, no-alternative fucking system.

            As for taxes, the only reason they’re still important to the borg is to legitimize the US dollar as the world reserve currency. I’m not worried about it at all, in the ethical sense. Are you? Or are you just trying to avoid the bother?

      Been going on for years. Here is Steven Stills talking about it in the early 70s, maybe late 60s…..

      “For What It’s Worth”

      There’s something happening here
      What it is ain’t exactly clear
      There’s a man with a gun over there
      Telling me I got to beware

      I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound
      Everybody look what’s going down

      Battle lines being drawn
      Nobody’s right if everyone’s wrong
      People speaking their minds
      Getting so much resistance from behind

      Yeah, stop children, what’s that sound
      Everybody look what’s going down

      What a field-day for the heat
      Ten thousand people in the street
      Singing songs and carrying signs
      Mostly say, hooray for our side

      I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound
      Everybody look what’s going down

      Paranoia strikes deep
      Into your life it will creep
      It starts when you’re always afraid
      Step out of line, the man come and take you away

      Stop, children, what’s that sound
      Everybody look what’s going down
      Stop, hey, what’s that sound
      Everybody look what’s going down

      You better stop!
      Stop
      You better stop!
      Stop

    Good article Jim! Dr. Fauci deserves to swing from a gibbet, but it won’t happen.

    The desire to resist is missing from most people. Chalk it up to decades of community destruction and atomizing individuals. People are scared and cut off from mutual support. The “rugged individual” is an isolated, frightened and unable to resist the totalitarian demands of the professional managerial class.

    G. Washington and T. Jefferson must be spinning in their graves.

      I like Fauci.
      He is doing his job. Do you have a job?

  7. BackRowHeckler December 17, 2021 at 9:51 am #

    Where do we stand, and how much more can we take?

    Where I live, economically and socially, the place is in shambles. And to think, up until not long ago, I thought of this culture, this civilization I live in as being ‘Rock Solid’. What an eye opener these last 2 years have been.

    (When I say ‘In Shambles’ I’m referring the fentanyl deaths, murder suicides, closed small businesses, traffic deaths and road rage incidents, car theft, car hijackings, assaults, sexual assaults and so on)

    Is there something wrong with this sentence?

    There are roughly a million doctors in America, and all but a tiny fraction of them have gone along with Dr. Fauci’s wrongful and harmful edicts.

    Dateline Hamburg:

    Only 14% of hospitalizations in Hamburg, Germany were unvaxed — though the Mayor and Senate claimed it was 90%. The same type of results are surfacing in Munich after reporters started digging deeper (finally) to verify the official press releases.

        Not that I can see.

        The protests in Italy seem steady, yet the controllers there seem to be doubling down on the jab passes.

      Bergamo was the European Wuhan.

      A theatrical production brought to you by Schwab and co.

      • JohnAZ December 17, 2021 at 12:21 pm #

        Yep, Night Owl, as we have been discussing.

        The public is a mixed bag or co-morbidities ready to happen, all they need is a trigger, an immune insult to fire them off.

        For me, it was three cholesterol deposits in three coronary arteries at age 53 that were triggered by a 2 week flu episode. Heart attack!

        So Italy finally figured out that the blame finger should be pointed at the co-morbidities rather than the Covid virus itself? About time. However, the virus as a trigger is still there, the same amount of people will die.

        The real problem is the vaccine, a trigger! How many co-morbidities will die from this trigger? How many vaccine deaths will be discounted, like the Italy study, not as “vaccine caused” but caused by the co-morbidities. Will the “vaccine deaths” turn out to be one tenth of the deaths reported now, as Italy is showing?

        BTW, regardless if it is death by vaccine directly or death by co-morbidity, some one dies after being jabbed. The rest is lying statistics, just like the Italy situation.

        • JohnAZ December 17, 2021 at 12:22 pm #

          The vaccine should be stopped right now. It’s triggering too many deaths.

          How many vaccine deaths will be discounted, like the Italy study, not as “vaccine caused” but caused by the co-morbidities

          And therein lies the proverbial rub. “They” know that people, as a group, are stupid. “They” figured out that they can twist the situation as they please, once the “pandemic” was initiated.

          Old people dying with co-morbidities? Covid! Vaccine deaths? Nope! Now it’s co-morbidities again. Lockdown causes fewer deaths? We were right! Lockdown causes more death? It’s the unvaxxed! We need more lockdowns!

    Federal mandate thrown out and yet the Marines are throwing people out of the Marine Corps!

    https://www.oann.com/report-bidens-dod-discharges-103-unvaccinated-marines/

    Personally, I think these Marines have a lawsuit and should sue Joe Biden personally as well as the federal government.
    As far as being thrown out of service I can’t understand why anyone would actually want to be a Marine. I have met many a Marine and all of them were left physically broken after a career as one.

    • Disaffected December 17, 2021 at 10:09 am #

      Probably better for them that they got the pink slip. My step brother got thrown out for refusing to join the festivities in Iraq II and does just fine now. Makes far more than I do working as a electrical lineman. His dad was disappointed in him, but I congratulated him for standing on his beliefs. Not a pansy either. He was an athletically built grunt.

            well, to not put too fine a point on it, there are no ex-Marines; some of us are just no longer active duty. But you earn the title, and although age tempers it somewhat – the attitude and the training remain. We are ashamed of what our country is becoming. and we do not forget the oath we took. Please do not discount your veterans, many know the time is near when the country will need us again. Semper Fi

    • Wizard of the Saddle December 19, 2021 at 1:26 am #

      I gotta dispute that assertion. Lots of Marines in my family. One hit the beaches of Guadalcanal and Tarawa in WW2 and was a poker buddy with Richard Nixon in the South Pacific. Another was an Embassy Guard. Another served in the jungles of Vietnam. Other than the uncle who lost half a finger to a Japanese bullet, none were any worse for wear for having served in the Marine Corps.

      Perhaps your comment is aimed at modern day Marines who’ve gone through the idiocies in Afghanistan and Iraq? The Marine Corps today ain’t quite the same elite organization it was 50 to 75 years ago, so I can concede that much.

    Sometimes fighting is prescribed for you.

    Sometimes ya gotta fight. And it’s damned hard to bring out the fight in people who are otherwise happy, or who wish to be.

    After a brief exchange about the state of things, my wife turned to me in tears and exclaimed that, if I were to go to hell after I die, it would be because I was not happy with what I had. I had to sit with that awhile.

    She and I are both like minded on these issues, but we see the end game differently. I see deliverance in fighting the beast, she sees peace in making the most by holding on to what we have.

    But really, sometimes you have to fight. That’s where I stand, I just have to be a little more appreciative of my wife’s sensibilities.

    NOW onto this moronic virus..

    My first crazy idea about the pandemic was that the unvaxxed would hold out long enough to be clearly identifiable, then they would be infected and die from a second release of the bio-weapon. Motive: We are an obstacle to whatever totalitarian dreams they have, and we are like a bit of grinding on gears before they fit them to the machine. Once we’re buffed out, they can proceed.

    They have experience with deploying bio-weapons, they have no reservations.

    Since the terms ‘mastermindery’ and ‘clusterfuckery’ were coined by our host, I’ve never been able to break out of that loop of thought. It’s the moral dilemmas of our own conjuring that is preventing us from our grand, “hey wait a minute” moment.

    We are basically all good people who could coexist peacefully with virtually anyone. But life really is like a box of chocolates.

    Sometimes ya gotta fight.

      I agree with you. They are clearly spreading “variants” as needed for propaganda and punishment purposes.
      There has never been a thing where cold and flu season was in the summer, but last summer the “Delta variant” appeared and spread, targeting the southern states which had resisted.
      I know many people who had resisted the GMO injectable up until then, but succumbed to the hype and were injected.
      Then they started telling us that kids were susceptible to Delta, right as they rolled out the injection program for kids.
      Now they tell us that there is a Scary New Variant called Omicron, right in time to cancel Christmas, which they will blame on the unvaxxed, because mind boggling as it seems, they have managed to turn the vaxxed media slurpters’ wrath from Fauci and the government onto those of us who remain in the control group.
      Remember that today is the 3rd week anniversary of the Scary New Virus in South Africa’s naming. 3 weeks. And now they are telling us that it got from South Africa to the USA and is spreading all over and it’s gonna Kill Us All? In 3 weeks? A variant that hasn’t killed anyone but one is going to kill us all?
      They must have a way of spreading these viruses that is able to target the resistant. I have heard of people who work from home, have their groceries delivered and never go around other people somehow getting ill. How? That makes no sense. You can’t get a human respiratory virus without being around sick humans.
      Unless they are spreading it in other ways.

      • Paula D December 17, 2021 at 12:44 pm #

        Oh, and they released the scary variant from the UK last December, as they rolled out the first injections.
        They told us that the first case found in the US was a young man in Colorado, with no history of travel.
        OK, then how did he contract the UK variant?
        It is a mystery, my son.
        And by the next week, they told us it was all over the US. How?
        Don’t worry your pretty little head about epidemiology, just listen to Fauci. And Gates, back then, although he has mostly been sidelined since.

      • Socrates-Detroit December 17, 2021 at 1:07 pm #

        @JohnAZ,

        Dear John,

        Did you read today’s column?

        This is the most brilliant, concise assessment of American medicine–excerpted without permission:

        By the way, while Dr. Anthony Fauci may represent the leadership of the corrupt US public health bureaucracy, we cannot let the medical establishment itself off-the-hook for this epic fiasco of crisis mis-management. There are roughly a million doctors in America, and all but a tiny fraction of them have gone along with Dr. Fauci’s wrongful and harmful edicts….

        I could care less if Russia liberates the Russians living in the Ukraine. If anything, I would welcome the humiliation it will inflict on our moronic government. If the US does anything, maybe the Russians will turn off the gas to the Germans. Maybe the economic upheaval might be enough to break the spell of stupidity and corruption that today’s piece so adeptly explains. The risk is a miscalculation that spins out of control and incinerates the planet–the Russians have rockets with nukes on them, as do we–it was called MAD once… Russia is not Iraq or Syria or Libya–or even North Korea. The Russians love THEIR country and will fight for it—-our imperial troopers are paid, and many of the natives here are busy burning cities down.

        Now, Biden is in tune with YOUR GOP (Grand Old POOP-heads) to foment friction to enrich the military-industrial complex.

        The USA has moved to squeeze and marginalize Russia, because Russia is not beholden to the dollar-denominated international financial system.

        Which, I’m sure you of all people, recognize is an illusion that enriches the elite, even as your purchasing power is always evaporating.

        Why should Russia kow-tow to the US? Good for Putin. At least he has been a benefit to most ordinary Russians. They have a lower living standard–they have natural resources–they are not as soft as Americans, circa 2021.

        It’s bad enough WE have live under a dictatorship of the elite, but with the veneer of a republic (and a very emasculated one at that)

        The Ukraine is none of our business. In any case, it’s important to Russia, and the Russian people who inhabit Russia AND the eastern Ukraine.

        So, what do you want Biden to do? Tell us.

        What do I want? Simple:

        Biden should publicly state that, “no, the Ukraine will not be joining NATO. We encourage the Ukraine and Russia to address their issues peacefully, and we will not meddle, like my old boss did, in your internal affairs”.

        Biden is too beholden to do that. And bleating “Putin bad, Russia bad” distracts Americans from the creeping dictatorship that Biden’s handlers are busily crafting for the 99% of us.

            Does it really matter? – Socrates

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

            Let me ask you this, Soc, let’s say you’re at work in an office setting and you go to the John to take a leak. You exit the John with a big wet spot on you pants. You are oblivious but all your co-workers see the spot as you stroll back to your cubicle. Does this really matter?

            Or picture my BIL Peter in conversation with a new group of acquaintances and he speaks of Santa coming down the “chimley” with a bag of gifts… or that as he has aged he has acquired an enlarged “prostrate.” Or he gets up from his table at a diner and is exiting with a large glop of mayo on his cheek and two feet of toilet paper stuck to a shoe dragging behind. Do these things really matter? To be honest, apparently NOT, if you are Peter.

            How about you are Fred Mishkin, a former Fed Governor and now a professor of banking at Columbia and you appear frequently on CNBC and you always say “prolly” rather than probably. Does this really matter?

            The answer for you and benr is No, it doesn’t matter if YOU don’t think it matters because you’re OK with sounding like an idiot among people you associate with. But for the rest of us (the normal people) it definitely DOES matter.

          • Q. Shtik December 19, 2021 at 5:37 pm #

            That is a regional thing. – benr

            ===========

            No, benr, it is NOT a regional thing. Up until about 30 years ago everybody said “the Ukraine” and “the Crimea.” It was a deeply ingrained habit of speech and, in fact, WAS correct. But then media linguists, who meet periodically to discuss all sorts of language issues, recognized and agreed that conditions had changed having, I believe, to do with the borders of Ukraine and Crimea becoming fixed and definite and as such “the” became incorrect.

            What gets me is that YOU and others can read the NYT, the Washington Post, the Miami Herald, the LA Times, etc. and see that they have ceased using “the” preceding Ukraine and Crimea and you can have a grammar Nazi like me point this out endlessly yet you refuse to change.

            How long did it take the Church to accept that Earth was NOT at the center of the Universe?

            I am different. When people make me aware of my errors I am more than glad to fix them.

    I wonder whether it is coming time to circulate this “J’accuse” and ask:
    Which side are you on?

    On the side of medicalized totalitarianism or of constitutional freedoms as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights?

    (Or, is that totalitarianized medicine?
    Thing is, not only medicine has been “totaled,” so maybe it is “medicalized totalitarianism.”)

      That is disgusting. Apparently there are people who still believe the bullshit they put out.
      “Studies show” that the 3 week old variant can get around the doubly vaccinated, but it is totally stopped by a booster.
      Yeah, right.

      This is disgusting.

      Because the bringer of the Blizzard horror is . . . Dr. Michael Osterholm.

      He who, in June 2020, stated clearly—in a long podcast on that exact topic—that there was no scientific evidence to back up mask wearing for stopping viral transmission.

      Are we now going to get a “blizzard” bulletin every time a cold virus goes around!

    Well Jim, how’s it feel to shed some “allergies”? LOL

    I could never determine if you were truly obstinate, or had to preserve a public facade due to your prominence and interaction with mainstream organizations.

    So, have you decided to throw caution to the wind, or have now assessed that sentiment has shifted enough to avoid immediate cancellation for entertaining such outrageous and subversive thoughts?

    Like the 12 step program, the greatest difficulty is first admitting we have a problem. This entails rejecting literally decades of intense brainwashing that creates immense cognitive dissonance.

    However, similar to breaking the sound barrier, once through its calm sailing as everything becomes crystal clear and entirely logical.

    I would surmise the last step in the journey is where one reaches the “of course” stage: of course this is what’s happening, of course they’re executing it because of broadly acknowledged limits, of course it had to go down this way.

    Once you reach acceptance, then it’s as you state: where do you stand? All the denial, all the avoidance, all the doubts vanish as you’re left staring truth in the face.

    • Disaffected December 17, 2021 at 11:00 am #

      I dunno. Guess I haven’t reached total acceptance yet then. Still stuck on outrage. Not surprised at all about what “they” are trying do, but just astounded at how easy people who should know better are making it for them. Blind allegiance to and trust in “safety and security” provided by obviously benevolent others will do that for you I guess.

            Agreed, the number one enemy of the American people is the Deep State and the cacophony of idiots running it.

            The states formed the Federal Government as a protection from each other and Europe.

            ICC to protect states from posting irregular tariffs against each other.

            Right on military, but the military is no longer used for our protection. It is a social elevator and social experiment.

            It is a protector of individual rights, AKA the Bill of Rights so that states cannot violate them individually. Think abortion right now.

            Protection of Rights and the military protection were the original intents of the Constitution, everything since then had been bastardized by the government itself.

            One time, the states got enough nerve to counter the “necessary and proper” erosion of states rights.

            Yes, but only the Southern States have shown that gumption in the 233 years we’ve been operating under the present constitution. The rest of the states have, so far, shown themselves to be rather timid pets of the federal government who always do what they are told, but that might be changing soon. The Overton Window has shifted and state secession is no longer a topic forbidden for political discussion. Indeed, almost half the country now embraces the right of a state to secede. Old Abe Lincoln is no doubt spinning in the grave that John Wilkes Booth sent him to, but it’s about time. Confederate President Jefferson Davis predicted that the right of secession was an issue that would eventually re-assert itself, but in another time and in another form. It would appear that ‘Ole Jeff was a prophet. It wasn’t for nothing that the National Motto on the Great Seal of the Confederate Stares reads: DEO VINDICE.

The only positive thing that has been done to avert our demise, over the past century, has been China’s single child policy (probably bought us a good decade or two). Unfortunately, a decade ago they changed to a 2 child policy, and a year back, eliminated it altogether…

    Spot on, as usual, Jim. But your comment comparing the reactions to tyranny in the US and here in Europe was depressing. Europeans are truly pathetic, apart from the couple of hundred thousand who get out on the streets to protest. No fortitude, no beliefs beyond Die with the Most Toys, and no values. I think more and more these days that they don’t deserve to survive. Except, that me, my family, and the few other fighters I know, will probably go down with them. I hope I’m wrong.

    Kudos to Mr. Kunstler for another stellar contribution, replete with literary torpedos.

    “Power mad little weasal”. Yup, just about sums up Fauci. When even the mild manner Chris Martenson has called out Fauci for what he is, one realises we’ve ventured off the reservation of ‘normalcy’ (Chris is spot on by the way).

    (By the way, decided to use Mr Kunstler, in lieu of Jim, as it is an artefact connoting respect and civility towards our host, which he surely deserves, and juxtaposed with the deserved opprobrium that Fauci surely deserves (and much worse besides; incidentally, did anybody else think it strange that Peter McCullough implied that Fauci was merely incompetent, rather than evil, in his Joe Rogan interview? Maybe it’s me….did I misinterpret that? Was it just professional courtesy, like he felt he couldn’t ‘go too far’ or ‘say too much’?).

    “The doctors have disgraced and dishonored themselves. The doctors have probably undermined their own vocations, as well as the entire armature of US health care, which they have allowed to become history’s worst racketeering operation. You can be sure it is going to collapse now, along with the equally degenerate financial system and, alas, much of the on-the-ground daily business of our country.”

    Was that factored in also? Why? To usher in an era of AI-based medicine (and surgical robotics?), by fundamentally breaking the trust between the public, or a sizeable proportion of the public, and their physicians? Maybe I’m just an ageing conspiracy theorist.

    Imagine a much smaller coterie of humans actually taking the financial risk of a medical education? How many medical schools will even survive the impending implosion of higher ed?

        I reported on a virologist last week who said that her group believes that Alpha was lab created because there has not been a single animal found with the Covid that could have passed it on to humans. Also, something about a “cleavage” feature in the S protein that could not have formed naturally, but had to have been engineered.

        All BS aside, assume for a moment that the 2019 version of Covid was engineered.

        If discovered, who in the world has more to lose than Fauci to that determination? Father of the intensified virus himself. Co inventor of virus intensification with our “friends” in China.

          There’s not question this whole thing was created in a lab. The precise logistics of how exactly they get out of which lab is another question. The point is, this new strain – for those of us who believe there is a virus – came out of nowhere and has no evolutionary history that anyone can track. Kind of a smoking gun for another man made release of a man made pathogen.

      How does a variant suddenly make 24 mutations? Where were the intermediary mutations?
      They are evolutionary biologists and that made them question it.

        “how does a variant suddenly make 24 mutations?”

        Not sure, but let’s say it wasn’t created on a computer screen and then synthesized. One explanation I’ve heard is that the virus is mutating rapidly to rid itself of the genetically engineered sequences that aren’t very stable in nature.

        Do we know if the furin cleavage site (aka PRRA insert, aka polybasic region aka smoking gun of genetic manipulation) is mutated in the Omicron? That would be a key question I’d like to ask a geneticist who looks at these sequences.

    Quite a few people here understand and do not want the Great Reset; the problem is rather that the institutions have been heavily corrupted or “captured.”

    The new, likely fraudulently installed government in Germany in particular is steamrolling anyone in the judiciary who speaks up, using Comey FBI tactics, like 4 a.m. raids for federal judges who reverse mask mandates.

            Without getting into how the surveys were conducted (problematic, to say the least, as to forthright answers among many reports), I should clarify: guns per capita based on how many have at least one compared to how many don’t. I’d agree that guns per person in the U.S. is higher, but the former statistic, I aver, is more important.

            Even if you think the wiki stats are accurate, JTin’s lumping in of Europe with Canada is still incorrect: Canada’s 34 per 100 is still higher than all but 2 European countries, and that by double, triple, or more, than most in the Euro cohort.

      Night Owl: Yep, plenty of big marches in Europe. They just need to reach critical mass. That might happen when the Big Die Off starts. Shame it has to be like that, but I don’t think anything less will shake the sheep out of their torpor.

      • Night Owl December 17, 2021 at 5:23 pm #

        I actually think it is getting close.

        Even Germany is starting to wake up. There are marches here almost every night now, including in small villages.

        • Hereward the Woke December 18, 2021 at 12:17 pm #

          Night Owl: I hope you are right and you and millions of Germans say “Genug!” Maybe the soaring fuel bills and heating costs will play a part too. Here in Sleepy Switzerland, we’re still in a massive depression after 62% of our morons voted de facto permanent tyrannical powers to our psychopathic leaders. My wife and I have talked for the first time about heading back to the UK. But is it a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire? Who knows! At least people in Britain are fighting. The Swiss would rub dogshit on their faces if the government told them it would protect them against China flu. I suspect things will be clearer for all of us by Spring. Hang in there, my friend!

          Hi GA: First off, is your husband feeling better? I caught the tail end of the Jim’s previous post and didn’t quite catch the whole story. As for the Big Die Off (sounds like a Reality TV cooking show, doesn’t it?), Omicron is a flop. I don’t know who to believe anymore, but what some very serious people like McCollough and that Belgium doc are saying seems to indicate the “vaccine” is as nasty and dangerous as we think it is. Who knows?

          • GreenAlba December 18, 2021 at 2:43 pm #

            He’s fine, thanks, Hereward – waiting for a letter inviting him to a follow-up clinic.

            Yes Omicron is a flop, but they’re not going to tell us that!

      • TaxDonkey December 18, 2021 at 12:24 am #

        One can imagine that in Germany and other countries, enough people will get tired of this leftist insanity and a critical mass will violently swing hard right and perhaps embrace another crop Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin types. History rhymes.

        • Night Owl December 18, 2021 at 7:39 am #

          You have listed two national socialists and one communist as an alternative to “leftist insanity.”

          Makes little sense. Here in Germany, people are waking up to and beginning to fighting fascism, which has presented itself as technocratic corpratism that cloaks itself in anti-fascist rhetoric.

          • TaxDonkey December 18, 2021 at 7:06 pm #

            Okay fair enough. Let me just say extreme left and extreme right often start to look familiar. When we had all the leftist riots here in the US, people on the right would have embraced with joy some kind of stormtroopers going out and blowing Antifa/BLM to bits. Over there in Sweden, they’re letting immigrants come and rape their women and even that guy got raped with a bottle for hours. Expect at some point possibly that there will be an extreme patriotic yearning to bring back the Vikings and perpetrate extreme violence on these leftists.

  23. Rodster December 17, 2021 at 10:41 am #

    This blog post is beyond fucking EPIC. Thank you Jim !

    Where do I stand? I stand with the rest of the crowd that sees this all as bullshit and a government’s quest for control and compliance. In the USSA, they won’t get it because of all the guns.

    In other parts of the world, I bet the citizenry wished they had not given up their guns because in AUS and New Zealand it’s Nazi style coercion with a double heaping of government and military force.

      You really are talking nonsense.

      I can assure you that Australians and New Zealanders are extremely comfortable without millions of guns and rifles in the hands of nutters and crazies – or even just those with anger management issues, or get pissed off because they ordered a large fries, not medium.

      The much-admired Jacinda Ardern was fairly recently re-elected, and I expect the Australian federal government – plus various state governments – will do okay n up-coming elections too, and not be punished for having to handle the pandemic.

      These two nations are liberal democracies, where the rule of law and personal freedoms count for a GREAT deal … perhaps visit them one day to see what is possible without being armed to the teeth.

      And anyway, if push comes to shove in the US, having an armed populace won’t count for anything – police and military will just use even more overwhelming force.

        Spent 6 months of my life working in nz.
        They’re nanny staters governed by the fact that 90% of their population is urban based in Auckland Wellington hamilton and christchurch. They’re remote enough from each other and from other nations that they can afford to ignore rights. But the old kiwi and Aussie is a thing of the past. NZ has no constitution. Hence one anti Muslim shooting and Ardern (who is not that popular – she’s fallen below 48%) and remember it’s a coalition government) immediately confiscates all ar style rifles). It’ll all go well until China comes a callin’. But they’ll all comply to get along. NZ is basically a beautiful country with docile compliant people. They’re all about food wine and getting along. Which is fine till the SHTF. Oh btw you’re wrong about something else. They are still armed to the teeth. Just with deer rifles and shotguns. Hate to rain on your utopian parade

        • ianw December 18, 2021 at 2:54 am #

          Do you have a problem with that?

          Working cooperatively to build a better society is obviously something you missed growing up in Podunk Indiana – or wherever you grew up. NZ and Australia are streets ahead on the “survival of the fittest” scale for the next century. Co-operation always wins.

            Haha. They’re about to make tobacco illegal. Not advised against – illegal. Part of the New Normal where the government tells you what you can consume so you don’t use up healthcare resources unnecessarily.

            First they came for the tobacco.

            I said nothing because I don’t smoke tobacco.

            Then they came for the Chardonnay …

            Note I don’t like being in enclosed spaces with smokers, and going home to peel off my clothes and find they stink right down to my skin, with my hair also reeking of stale tobacco.

            Leaving aside the health risks, that is (I also hold my breath when crossing a road right behind a stationary car spewing exhaust fumes – and wish my grandson’s school wasn’t having to be monitored by the council for air quality because it’s right beside a busy T junction, with cars stopping, idling and starting all day long).

            But I have no ambition to stop people smoking if they want to, if they respect other people.

            I personally think it’s a great initiative, and about 30 years too late.

            And note that New Zealand is a liberal democracy, with long traditions of freedom and adherence to the rule of law. If a future government has popular support to overturn the law, then they may.

            There are safe – even beneficial – levels of alcohol consumption. There are no safe levels of tobacco use. Alcohol will never be banned – certainly not be a government that is seeking re-election.

          • GreenAlba December 18, 2021 at 7:58 pm #

            Not actually true. There is no safe level of consumption of alcohol. Alcohol is a poison. We just decide that we’ll risk it because a glass of wine with your dinner is nice. Same as driving a car, really.

            It’s cute that you think you’re going to have functioning elections though, for the foreseeable future, what with you guys being the canary in the coalmine an’ all.

            I could say you’re an idiot, but I don’t think you are. I think you’re a paid troll.

            I’ve often quoted Francis Bacon: ‘people prefer to believe what they would prefer to be true’.

            I could quote you a Latin version: Homines libenter etc. etc. but it doesn’t matter, except that my husband quotes it regularly. Oh, the irony.

            The thing is, trolly lad, that it’s true. And you are the perfect example. You believe what you wish to be true.*

            While I believe what I would give anything to *know* was not true. So your infantile and pathetic theory collapses.

            *Except that I don’t actually believe that you believe what you spout. No-one could be that stupid after all the evidence you’ve been shown. But for the purposes of the argument, I’ve pretended that you believe what you say, ridiculous as that is.

            Because you pointed out to all and sundry recently that I was the exception to your theory that everyone on here was a ‘conspiracy theorist’ before covid. So you know that my conversion to reality was based on learning, not on any kind of tinfoil preponderance.

            Again, you lie to suit your argument of the moment. Hoist by your own petard, dummy.

            But a refutation of Dr McCullough’s data is by far the more important matter, so please don’t keep us waiting.

            So you ARE going to take that booster, no matter what more you learn about the consequences. I rather suspected that. Because that’s the only way you’ll get to stay chirpy and happy.

            That’s not an argument, it’s troll-speak.

            I certainly won’t be around in 2041. In non-covid times my mother lived to 88, so me living to 89 would have been within the realm of the possible, but hardly something to bet on.

            I’m a Yankee fan, and you remind me of one Joey Gallo, a big, strong, athletic outfielder who either walks, strikes out, or knocks it outta the park. So you have to sit through him taking or fouling off pitch after pitch before he finally gets to one of those “three true outcomes.” Trouble is, he’s only ever been a .200 hitter, so all in all, he ain’t worth it, imo.

          • ianw December 18, 2021 at 5:14 pm #

            […] who either walks, strikes out, or knocks it outta the park. So you have to sit through him taking or fouling off pitch after pitch before he finally gets to one of those “three true outcomes.

            Sounds like what happens with every batter, although they might get a single or double. I have been to Yankee Stadium, but as a cricket devotee I find baseball kinda two-dimension and ultimately boring. A kids’ game.

            But I concede it depends hugely on what you grew up with and/or played.

          This is so inane it barely warrants comment … there are smart astute people in every country, and there are the dumb, gullible, easily duped as well.

          I actually think Aussies have a healthy streak of scepticism, and good BS detectors … we tend not to hide behind god, flag, and country.

          And if you’re in Spain, you have absolutely no bragging rights whatsoever – the last 800 years of history there is blood-soaked and bigoted.

          Not bad to visit in short bursts though – not Australia of course, but not bad.

    The data he used to come to this conclusion, back in August, has been freely available to all these doctors and scientists. In fact, the head of the CDC has been caught making statements that contradict her own agency’s data.

    The drug companies have told lies about their products as well, leading people to believe that these shots were real vaccines, and nice people went and got inoculated because they believed it was the right thing to do.

    ‘American doctors have proven to be cowards, cravens, zombies, and fools facilitating Dr. Fauci’s evil campaign’

    JHK: you are absolutely correct about this. I saw it in med school (I was older and had been a college prof before entering med school). Med students were the biggest buttlickers and cheaters I’ve ever seen. And now when the same people are out in practice, they, without question, do what their mba scum bag bosses tell them to do to their their monthly salaries. Those who protest (and there are a few) are shunned, sometimes fired and replaced with two so called ‘nurse practitioners,’ who don’t know what they don’t know and kill more people than doctors do by a long shot. Health care has gone to hell in the hands of fascist corporate masters. Glad I’m in my last few years of dealing with it, even though I’m in my own private clinic.

      Neurodoc. A question.

      A central authority, the AMA, where are they on all this? What are their connections with say, WHO, NIH, CDC and FDA? How much political influence do the ignoramuses in our Deep State have on the AMA? Or the publishing of the New England Journal of Medicine?

      • neurodoc December 17, 2021 at 11:17 am #

        AZ:
        The ama has always been a fascist criminal organization that doesn’t give a flip about doctors or patients. They serve big health– (hospital systems, big pharma, big gov medicine ala fauci, etc) and big health alone. They engage in rico activities with who, nih, fda and all the other criminals who have taken over our government. ama, and their minions, is know for shutting down doctors who speak out about alternatives to big pharma’s meds or things like electrotherapy medicine. e.g. They stole Dr. Royal Rife’s life work (look him up) on electrotherapy for cancer, and put him in prison for fake crimes; that’s just one of a thousand examples. NEJM is owned by bighealth; the only major med journal that appears to be legit and beyond corruption is the Brit. Journal of Medicine, or maybe I’m just being naive. 🙂

I read in the English language news that the strikers were mostly young doctors. My questions about the situation to the international clinic I use went unanswered. The strike interfered with my ability to get treatment for a torn retina.

      @neurodoc — I’ve been a nurse for many years and recently retired. Every word you said was true and the explosion in the number of nurse practitioners will undermine the few remaining doctors trying to practice ethical medicine.

      And I have to say, the new nurses I worked with coming out of nursing school were incredibly incompetent. One asked me this question — “Malignant? Now is that the good one or the bad one?”

      @neurodoc:

      _replaced with two so called ‘nurse practitioners,’ who don’t know what they don’t know_

      Yes! I haven’t seen my “real” doctor in years. I recently called in to have a prescription refilled for a tube of Clobetasol (souped-up cortisone ointment for my eczema, which comes and goes.) A tube of that stuff lasts me for years. They wouldn’t refill it unless I came in. I spoke to the NP, nd told her I needed it because my eczema was acting up, and I didn’t want it to spread. She won’t give it to me unless I go in. She also didn’t want to give me a tube of Ketoconazole, which I use to keep the allergy to mites on my face from getting out of hand. This was prescribed to me by a dermatologist, who diagnosed the allergy. The NP, speaking from the depths of her dermatology training (not) said, “Oh, I suspect it just an allergy to soap!”

      Every time I go there, all they want to do is shoot me full of flu vaccine, stick my boobs under an xray, and pump me full of Fosamax. No thanks.

        years ago I went to a local clinic.
        I got to see a NIgerian Nurse Practitioner.

        I had a bad problem with my scalp.

        waste of time and money.

        years later, I saw not one but 2 non white dermatologists. The second one got me the right prescriptions for scalp ‘yeast’ and infection.

        The first MD might have been paki [omar was his name]. he was so rude.

        • malthuss December 17, 2021 at 3:39 pm #

          oh my–Ketoconazole, was one of three meds prescribed.
          clyndamycin was another and the 3rd was useless.

        allergy to mites–whats that.
        My 2 dermatologists, with med cost me over $500.
        however I got help so it was worth it.
        The MD was with me for a few minutes. $330.

        Most of the time, eczema is caused, not by an “allergy” or intolerance for soap, but by an intolerance for “soap”–by which I mean the fake soap detergent bars or liquid detergents (syndet products) that most people use. Detergents are too harsh and drying for use on the skin.

        In fact, eczema can often be cured by using REAL soap (proided you never use detergent bars or liquid detergents on your skin). Wear rubber or plastic gloves when you wash dishes. You probably won’t need to switch to a non-detergent laundry product.

        I make and sell soap–which I specially formulated for two daughters with dry skin, one of whom used to suffer from eczema. Customers with eczema often report that my soap either cures or greatly helps them.

        A couple of years ago, a very elderly woman with white hair asked me if I had a product that would help her itchy, scaly, irritated scalp. I happened to have some steeply discounted shampoo bars (discounted because they didn’t come out of the molds clean). I sold her one for $1 and told her it should fix her right up. She came back two weeks later to tell me how thrilled she was that her scalp troubles were totally cleared up. Her hair also looked fantastic.

        You can buy real soap products at most health-food stores. Dr. Bronners is one kind. Most shampoos, even those sold at health-food stores are syndet products, so you have to read the ingredients labels. Same with online shampoo bars and liquid shampoos.

        An easy way to make your own liquid shampoo is to buy a bar of 100% olive oil soap at a health food store. Grate it and put it in a blender with water and coconut milk and whirl in the blender. (It’s nice if you can afford to sub rosewater for the water.) This is what I used before I started making my own soap. This will spoil if not refrigerated. There are better hair formulations, but this is not bad at all.

        To make your own shampoo bars, google “So you want to make a bar of shampoo, Liz Ardlady.” Liz’s shampoo bar recipe is famous in soapmaking circles. I make it as a liquid shampoo. I don’t want to link to my blog for directions, lest I appear to be pimping my blog.

        There are some people who can’t use soap shampoos. Makes their hair gummy–usually because they have a lot of silicone residues in their hair from commercial products, but sometimes for unknown reasons. Some people wash their hair with a baking soda solution and use a diluted vinegar rinse. You can also wash your hair with conditioner, as it has some cleansing power–but that’s for people with very dry hair. (Works well for blacks.)

        You might want to give real soap a try. I could go on about lotions (most of them are crap), but I’ll stop after one brief note: borage oil is excellent for eczema because of its high GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) content. There are a couple of other oils that are high in GLA (evening primrose is one), but borage is the highest, at 25% GLA. You could mix a little borage oil with your regular moisturizer. It is a little fishy smelling, so you might not want to use it straight.

      I entered med school in Australia nearly four decades ago and only lasted two years.
      It was a dehumanising death cult.
      I personally believe that a doctor who kills animals to learn how life works, is never going to be a ‘good’ doctor.
      Yes, that’s what second year med school students were doing back then.
      At the time I wouldn’t have articulated like this, I was pretty smart but terribly naive, but from here I see that I felt it was a death cult.
      My main memories are cadaver dissection and animal experimentation even unto death.
      Maybe care and compassion comes later.
      (but judging by the way people say ‘animal models’ as if similar to ‘computer models’ doesn’t fill me with hope)
      The upshot is nowadays I can’t even see a medical professional, although I know there are a certain number of good ones.

    “The question is: will the people of this land submit to continued coercion and to the engineered demolition of their lives? So far, we have not rolled over like the pathetically servile Europeans and Australians. Here, there is apparently some will to resist further pushing around by this demonic elite”

    We hear from time to time “never forget”. It comes to us in many contexts: holocausts, 9-11’s, market chicanery, school shootings, and on and on..

    The problem is never forgetting. It is never knowing. The banility of ignorance.

    “the lesson that this long course in human wickedness had taught us — the lesson of the fearsome, word-and-thought-defying banality of evil.” -H. Arendt

    “he essence of totalitarian government, and perhaps the nature of every bureaucracy (the rule of Nobody), is to make functionaries and mere cogs in the administrative machinery out of men, and thus to dehumanize them.”-H. Arendt

    “What he (Eichmann) said was always the same, expressed in the same words. The longer one listened to him, the more obvious it became that his inability to speak was closely connected with an inability to think, namely, to think from the standpoint of somebody else. No communication was possible with him, not because he lied but because he was surrounded by the most reliable of all safeguards against the words and the presence of others, and hence against reality (holes of oblivion) as such”-H. Arendt

    “The holes of oblivion do not exist. Nothing human is that perfect, and there are simply too many people in the world to make oblivion possible. ONE MAN will always be left alive to tell the story.”-H. Arendt

    “The lesson of such stories is simple and within everybody’s grasp. Politically speaking, it is that under conditions of terror most people will comply but some people will not, just as the lesson of the countries to which the Final Solution was proposed is that “it could happen” in most places but it did not happen everywhere. Humanly speaking, no more is required, and no more can reasonably be asked, for this planet to remain a place fit for human habitation.”-H. Arendt

    “You are quite right, I changed my mind and do no longer speak of “radical evil.” … It is indeed my opinion now that evil is never “radical,” that it is only extreme, and that it possesses neither depth nor any demonic dimension. It can overgrow and lay waste the whole world precisely because it spreads like a fungus on the surface. It is “thought-defying,” as I said, because thought tries to reach some depth, to go to the roots, and the moment it concerns itself with evil, it is frustrated because there is nothing. That is its “banality.” Only the good has depth that can be radical.” -H. Arendt

    “All the goodness and the heroisms will rise up again, then be cut down again and rise up. It isn’t that the evil thing wins — it never will — but that it doesn’t die.” – John Steinbeck letter written months before Arendt arrived in New York as a refugee from Nazi Germany:

      Those are some really nicely expressed thoughts. I guess they could be summarizd simply as “nothing lasts forever”. That means bad times as well as good; the eternal cycle.

      I will admit that I do have a problem with the word “evil”. Morality is an entirely human construct, one invented to describe one’s place in the social order. In this case a descriptor used to label winners.

      From the POV of those who have competed, came out on top, and now assert the right to rule, is it not entirely logical that they claim they are acting in humanity’s best interests?

      How is this different from ranching, from farming, from utilizing animal husbandry best practices? Just because you can think doesn’t necessarily lead to the conclusion that you have free will, that you have “human rights”.

      Rather, as every generation has had to learn before, no one deserves anything. It must be forced; relying on good will is useless. Freedom must be won, not granted.

It finally dawns on one, as he’s rotting in jail, newspapers collecting dust just inside the hatch by the bars, that there is nothing to reveal because there is nothing going on in his head. At all. No hatred. No revenge fantasies. No inner turmoil (ala Dostoyevsky’s criminal in Crime and Punishment). Just nothing.

      The banality of evil indeed.

    On the early and mid 70’s there was a series of studies conducted concerning fats and heart disease. The studies proved conclusively that there was no link between eating fats and heart disease. The AMA, however, reversed this finding and made the government announce that fats CAUSE heart disease. Thus began the obesity and diabetes epidemic in the USA.

    This event is also the first tangible evidence that the medical industry uses capitalist science rather than actual true science. “Do no harm” has been replaced by “Make them sick and we’ll get rich.”

    AMA “medicines” are actually biochemical disruptors that over time cause organ damage to vital organs, while ensuring that the body’s immune system will never correct the problems.

    I was recently prescribed two medications for pain (I didn’t complain of pain), both of which damage the liver. I have kidney disease and some bone problems and I researched the meds I’m taking, and can you guess what I discovered? Yes, there’s a strong link between those meds and kidney disease and the specific bone conditions that I have developed.

    What to do??? The obvious thing. I started weaning myself off ALL medical industry products. I reduced five of my six “meds” by 50%, eliminated the aspirin regime entirely.

    I already have truly dramatic results, with increased energy and about 90% reduction of the swelling in my legs.

    The medical industry is a dangerous force that is ruining the health and lives of its clientele. It uses state of the art propaganda and fake science to keep the population completely misinformed about all things relating to human physiology.

    I’ve informed all my friends : if I collapse and appear to be dying, DO NOT TAKE ME TO A HOSPITAL! Let me die in my bed, or maybe I’ll recover. It’s been known to happen.

    I don’t trust so-called doctors. They have names that are much more appropriate.

      Excellent. Doctor before last actually told me that he took statins on his own even though he had zero cholesterol problems. Said “the data” (there’s that word again!) suggested that they were an excellent “preventative,” even for normal healthy people. I told him thanks but no thanks in no uncertain terms.

      Current doctor hounded me for years about the same crap before finally admitting what you spoke of above. Fats and cholesterol in the diet DO NOT cause coronary artery disease and that statins are of decidedly questionable value, if they have any value at all (they don’t, they’re actually damaging to the liver and the entire endocrine system). A perfect zero on the Coronary Calcium test I finally acceded to proved my point with an exclamation mark.

Near enough to be a margin of error anyway. I’d skip the side effects and further enriching big pharma rather than take statins for possibly four more days.

      I remember seeing numerous books and articles claiming what “kind” of calories you ate made a difference in your weight. I even remember a co-worker telling me that this was what her bariatric MD told her. It didn’t make sense, as I also heard that a calorie was a thermal unit.

      There are natural cures for many, many ailments–sometimes even quite serious ones. Some such cures are so simple that the medical establishment’s ignorance of them can only be willful. It is hard not to conclude that the chief business of the medical establishment is withholding treatment. They’re in the abbatoir business; treatment is for chumps.

            You are correct, of course, but gallstones, when they’re causing real trouble, are a mechanical issue. Stones are physically blocking the bile duct.

            What a cleanse does is to open the bile duct to allow the stones to pass through, while at the same time encouraging bile to build up enough to flush out the stones. The purpose of the short fast combined with the Epsom Salts is to empty the intestinal tract so that the passage of the stones is not obstructed.

            The liver tonic probably includes milk thistle. I have heard of milk thistle helping people control Hep C.

            Besides beets, I have been told that pears are good for the liver. There are probably some other common fruits and vegetables like that.

          Google Dr. Hulda Clark’s gall bladder cleanse.

          Last summer I got some pretty serious gall bladder symptoms–though no pain. I you will forgive my indelicacy, the main symtom is ongoing diarrhea to the point where you are crapping your pants five times a day.

          I told an old friend about my “mystery illness,” and she told me it was gall bladder issues.

          I first did Clark’s gall bladder cleanse a couple of times about ten or fifteen years ago. I noticed a “fullness” or heaviness in that area and went to the doctor about it, and was told it was likely gallstones. He suggested a sonogram, but I already knew about Clark’s method at that time, so I did a couple of cleanses and cleared up the problem.

          I did two gall bladder cleanses last summer, and this fixed me up. I knew I should have started doing monthly cleanses, but didn’t want to bother.

          The cleanse is pretty simple: In the morning, eat a no-fat breakfast and no-fat lunch. No food after 2:00 pm. Take a dose of Epsom Salts at 6:00 pm and another at 8:00 pm. At 10:00 pm, drink a mixture of 3/4 cup grapefruit juice and 1/2 cup olive oil and go to bed immediately. In the morning you should poop out a lot of gallstones. You’re supposed to take a couple of follow-up doses of Epsom Salts in the morning. It’s really no big deal: two doses of laxatives and a glass of salad dressing. Best to google it for full details.

          A couple of remedies that seem to help symptoms some are milk thistle and eating beets. Gives a bit of relief but will not cure. Draupnir, below, suggested ACV.

        • Anthea December 17, 2021 at 7:13 pm #

          I have Dr. Hulda Clark’s “The Cure for All Cancers.” This book includes the gall bladder cleanse, the kidney cleanse, an anti-parasite regimen, and probably some other things I have forgotten.

          A few years ago, my neighbors doctor told him he had a kidney stone that would require surgery. He had been through that before and didn’t want to go through it a again, so we tried Dr. Clark’s cleanse for kidney stones. A couple of months later he went back to the doctor and was told he had no kidney stone.

          Dr. Clark’s book was recommended to me many years ago by a neighbor who claimed that her anti-cancer regimen had cured his prostate cancer. The book was recommended to him by a friend whose terminal cancer was cured this way. The neighbor of the first guy told me that she had cured two of her dogs of cancer this way.

        • Anthea December 17, 2021 at 7:57 pm #

          @ MaryQueen:

          Here’s some stuff most people should have on hand for the home medicine kit.

          Echinacea–a specific for teeth, kidneys, and urinary tract. Take for toothache and infections of teeth and gums, for UTIs and kidney and bladder infections. Good a a prophylactic before and after dental work. To cure actual dental infections, take honking big doses–as in six capsules for times a day. Best to make your own tincture. Saves a lot of money. Easy to grow too.

          Castor oil–quickly cures pink eye when smeared over and around the eye, especially if caught early. If you wait too long, you may need a castor oil pack over the eye followed by a boric acid eyewash.

          Magnesium supplements–cures most foot and leg cramps, as well as many cases of “bad back.” I have used it to cure spurs.

          For bronchitis, COPD, cold/flu related pulmonary troubles, the best stuff to have on hand is Osha root, Codonopsis root, and NAC (N-acetyl cysteine). Where infection is suspected, oil of oregano is very good. Usnea barbata is said to be a natural antibiotic that is a specific for lungs, but I have not been impressed with it. Codonopsis is also excellent to help recuperation from any illness.

          Oil of thyme–apply to cure plantar warts after bathing and pumicing. Repeat at least a couple of times a week.

          This is the stuff that is most likely to come in handy.

          • Anthea December 17, 2021 at 8:02 pm #

            Re echinacea, I can’t resist adding that it has the endorsement of meth heads. If you don’t mind your teeth rotting out of your head, this process can be made painless by taking echinacea.

        Good for you, Anthea!

        I also read The Big Fat Surprise when it first came out. It’s a big book and goes into mind-numbing detail on the evolution of the myth of fats causing heart disease. Ansel Keyes was instrumental in shouting down opposition to the fats/heart disease theory–he actually did have an opponent who said, back then, it was sugar, not fat, that caused heart disease, but Keyes was louder and more charismatic and the opponent didn’t stand a chance against him. I wanted to reach through the pages and strangle the crap out of Keyes, the bastard. The book also documents how one woman practically singlehandedly created the Mediterranean Diet and promoted the hell out of it, with the help of the olive oil industry. That was pretty interesting. The whole book is interesting and I highly recommend it.

        The information about saturated fat not causing heart disease is out there, yet so many practitioners persist in telling patients to eat low fat everything and to increase consumption of grain products. Push statins. Don’t even try to help type 2 diabetics reverse their disease. And on and on. I get that those not in private practice have to toe a party line, but these docs are killing people right and left, too, just like the docs pushing the jab and denying early treatment of the coof.

        I have to have a doc for the rest of my life to prescribe a life-preserving med (thyroid hormone) that has no currently reasonable alternative. If TSHTF and Rx meds become unobtainable, it’s animal thyroid for me–it’ll be messy and hard to dose but better than croaking.

        Also reading up on iodine deficiency and replacement, and its likely connection to the explosion of thyroid illnesses/cancer, fibrocystic breast disease/breast cancer, and prostate cancer, to name a few disorders. Started taking iodine just to see what happens. Wish me luck, folks.

      Patrick: I think you might be talking about the Framingham study.

      Sally Fallon, of the Weston A Price Foundation, has been saying for decades that the Framingham Study actually found the *opposite* of the way it was framed (ha ha) to the American public.

      Namely, per Fallon, the actual results of the study were that cholesterol made no difference to the incidence of heart disease, or, if anything, people with high cholesterol had LESS heart disease.

      But the opposite story (and a lot of good/bad cholesterol hoo-hah) was sold to the American public, which then started eating a bunch of crap like margarine and sugar substitutes (not that sugar is good; but fake sugar is worse!) stopped eating good stuff like butter and eggs and cheese.

      Her cookbook “Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and Diet Dictocrats” lays it all out and is a fun read.

        Why is fake sugar worse than real sugar?

        • spaingaroo December 18, 2021 at 10:12 am #

          concentrates of sugar, that white stuff we all think of is just about as bad as fake sugar.
          Sugar cane chewed whole is probably good.
          But fake sugars are things that we didn’t even evolve with, so they are clearly the worst of all. Aspartame came out of bioweapons research.
          It’s a big topic, but fake sugar has many many problems, relating to obesity and diabetes and more.
          Same thing happens with HFCS. Concentrations of Fructose without all the other things that come in whole fruit are tremendously bad.
          Probably the only real problem with salt is the over purification. Sodium Chloride crystals are pretty different from dried sea salt, with over 80 minerals.
          The industrial revolution is no place for humans to live.

    Good question. The day I turned fifty is the day I finally admitted that I was a chump. Not only that but I have been chumped my whole life. But after 4 years of recovery (NA/AA) my ego was finally in a manageable size that I could admit to being chumped. When my ego was the size of Andromeda, there was no way I could admit to being wrong about anything. Now, I’m hoping I have very little ego left, and I see I was wrong on just about everything. Now that I have 21 years of recovery under my belt, I can look around and clearly see, “It only makes sense if you realize that they are just trying to kill you”.
    A few years ago, I went to my doctors w/ a slight pain in my side. I thought my Hep-C was making a comeback. She scheduled a colonoscopy and they found nothing except high blood pressure and cholesterol and gave me 2 prescriptions. Within a week, I felt like shit and quit the pills. 4 years later and I feel great, but I still have that occasional pain in my side. Now she keeps calling me for the vaccine. When the time is right these lizard people will have a lot of “splaining” to do.
    So, where do I stand, I’m preparing for war. But I’m not kidding myself, it is going to be a long bloody guerilla war. Will there be unicorn farts and rainbows at the end, who the fuck knows, but there will be a lot less psychopaths’ left.
    It is time to root out all the “Money Changers”.

      I have no GP and stopped consulting doctors 20 years ago. The only interaction I have with the medical profession is when I am hauled to the emergency room by ambulance, and that has only happened once in all these years. Emergency removal of my gall bladder promptly resolved that problem. I stopped taking pap smears after the birth of my last child, and refused a colonoscopy at 50. I do not take any prescription medications. At 70, I attribute my continued excellent health to this practice.

      • Anthea December 17, 2021 at 1:15 pm #

        I just did a gall bladder cleanse yesterday, as I had been putting up with the milder signs of gallstones for a few months. I did a couple of gall bladder cleanses last summer to resolve symptoms that were considerably more serious.

        Bottom line: You don’t need the medical establishment for much of anything at all–or at least you wouldn’t, if an honest medical practitioner were available. I am a very poor diagnostician, so the only way I knew that I had gall bladder trouble was when I described my symptoms to a friend who has a lot of gall bladder disease in her family. (Some of the symtoms are not the kind of thing you can discuss in polite company; hence, people are often not familiar with them.)

        • draupnir December 17, 2021 at 2:40 pm #

          I staved it off for a long time using apple cidar vinegar daily. Even a severe attack was nipped by drinking a cup of the stuff.

          • Anthea December 17, 2021 at 5:57 pm #

            Thanks! That may be helpful to me in the future.

            Seems like a cleanse is needed every month or two, to stay on good terms with your gall bladder. And it’s not like it’s that much trouble.

      When my ego was the size of Andromeda
      When the skies could not contain myself
      When Jesus asked me for a sip
      And then I cursed and bit my lip
      And all the happy lucky skips
      Keep rolling down the lane

      The lie itself is quite untold
      There lives a Karen, and a scold
      One whose life depends on yours
      Being less than those who horde
      the good.
      They too shall fall like Barbies in a Klaus fit closet
      Bourne by those without a dreg of cross lit fire
      In belly or in ire, in eye no reflective light
      No mirror bright
      The star in them has died

      And we shall wait this night
      And we shall wait this night

      And make our tents a kite

    Raging lunatic Dr. Francis Collins threw his own leadership under the bus. Where did he get the idea that Anthony Fauci was an expert in infectious diseases?

    Where did he get the idea that calls to get rid of him were political?

    ‘Can you imagine a circumstance where the director of the NIH, somebody who believes in science, would submit to political pressures to fire the greatest expert in infectious diseases the world has known just to satisfy political concerns?’ Collins said.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10319313/Retiring-NIH-director-says-resisted-calls-FIRE-Dr-Fauci.html

    This is what President Trump was up against. He is not blameless in all this, because he was the chief executive; but my God, what he had to work with.

      Beryl-

      I go back on forth on Trump.

      I’m no MAGA groupie, but I believe he was far better than what we have now. His brusque, salty manner didn’t really bother me and I found his razor sharp Twitter game amusing. Even more so in light of the societal belief that older folks aren’t supposed to function so effectively on a youthful platform.

      I totally agree he was surrounded by terrible people.

      On the other hand, he did give us the state of emergency that permitted lockdowns, diaper mandates, and rushed toxic jabs.

      I can’t decide if he did those things because he’s a known germophobe and thought he was doing the right thing or if he is just an extreme example of controlled opposition.

      I don’t think I will ever know.

      • Beryl of Oyl December 17, 2021 at 11:47 am #

        He had people he was told were world-class experts telling him he must do this to save millions of lives. I am inclined to give him a pass on the fifteen days idiocy. He should have known better, on several levels, but he didn’t.

        He was never controlled opposition. He started doing the things the establishment didn’t want done; the things that benefitted Americans not some global masters.

        NAFTA, the Paris Accords, his intent to crack down on illegal immigration, those are the things that put a target on his back.

        Jeb! was to be the controlled opposition. They didn’t count on the man they thought of as a buffoon knocking Jeb clean out of the running with one remark.

        That’s because they understimated his supporters.

        • Anthea December 17, 2021 at 1:38 pm #

          “He had people he was told were world-class experts telling him he must do this to save millions of lives.”

          I too am inclined to give him a pass on errors made early on.

          But one of the most important life’s lessons I have learned is to NEVER make decisions in haste and to NEVER allow yourself to be pressured to do so.

          Your response to such pressures should ALWAYS be, “I will have to look into it; I will have to take a pencil to it; I will have to consult with trustworthy people about it; I will have to analyze it and think it over; I will have to talk with my lawyer,” etc.

          I just got myself into a little bit of a pickle yesterday from failure to take my own advice on this. It can be hard to do.

        • pranah December 17, 2021 at 2:27 pm #

          Beryl, DJT defused the tension with North Korea, for which I will always regard him with high esteem. I was seriously worried before the 2016 election that we’d have war with NK, and China by extension. When DJT stepped onto NK soil I cried with relief and pride. So sue me.

          I totally agreed with some of his other policies as well. His personality never bothered me, nor his tweets. The 2020 election was obviously stolen, and while I believe DJT will not be vindicated in his lifetime I do hope future historians will lay the whole sordid mess bare. If there are future historians beyond the ones hunkered by the campfires, telling stories of the past to the children of the Long Emergency.

          • BackRowHeckler December 17, 2021 at 3:32 pm #

          Beryl, JT,

          Great points from both of you that Trump himself and many of his actions made all the right people mad, which tends to support the perspective that he was the real deal.

    • JohnAZ December 17, 2021 at 11:32 am #

      One day, while he was addressing the Ukraine fiasco, someone said, we have some kind of an outbreak of a virus in China.

      “Put Pence on it and get the wheel moving”. Pence looks out at his bureaucracy and what does he see for his talent pool? The rest is history. Thirty years of Liberal leaning executive branch put that labor pool into place.

      Even today, best case scenario, the folks at the top have no clue what to do about a virus outbreak. The inability to keep up with the mutation of viruses has stopped any real progress against using the immune system to ward them off. Examples, colds, flus, Hepatitis, HIV.

      Fauci showed up and made recommendation in January 2020. Masks, distancing, wash your hands often, do not touch things, disinfect, wait for the vaccine. We got a certain new cases profile last Spring, Summer and Fall. Right now, we have gotten the vaccine, and not one new piece of advice or real understanding of what is going on from Fauci et al. Variants have produced profiles just as bad as last year.

      Hope we are not paying these bozos much. In the real world, they would have been fired long ago.

      • draupnir December 17, 2021 at 11:49 am #

        Pence would never have come up with Deborah Birx on his own.

        We still don’t know exactly who came up with the names.

        A lot of the groundwork for the ridiculous “response” was laid by W.

        As you might recall, Fauci himself said, correctly, that wearing a tard rag wasn’t going to help, at first.

        He was obviously getting orders from on high, because he kept changing his recommendations without any new data.

    • spaingaroo December 18, 2021 at 10:22 am #

      I like many here have more than one thought about DJT.
      What I have found is that his detractors have never, and I repeat, never, have listen to the man himself speak.
      I wasn’t very impressed by him either, but I have listen to many hours of his speeches, and he said the right things most of the time for my ears.
      Never sounded false either, although sometimes it was a little out of left field as they say.
      I ask anyone to watch him address the UN General Assembly and not cheer for him.
      He didn’t do the right things in the end though.
      The right thing would have had him branded him a fascist but it would still have been the right thing.
      And considering that he could have used that executive order to arrest all of the media and could have installed other mouthpieces, that bloodbath would have been over quickly.
      my two cents.

  31. themetalmystic December 17, 2021 at 11:12 am #

    Hi Jim –

    You are a great writer. I appreciate your style and your ability to think, and I am a fun of your scathing descriptions of the absurdities we have been observing to exponentially degenerate since the response to 9/11. This is all a continuum of that project.

    I remember when they announced the opening of the NY makeshift hospital at the Javitz Center (???). I knew this was all BS, and worse, a dark hearted revolution, from day one. However, when they made the big announcement and said that this hospital had 500 beds it confirmed my suspicions. 500 beds for a city of 8.5 million people and metropolitan area of a few million more? What better confession that this was not serious than that?

    That was confirmation that this was all theater, and when the public didn’t have the mental capacity to conclude that my stomach turned and my heart sank even while I had a good little gallows humor laugh.

    My point is, it wasn’t a, “giant emergency hospital.” We need to not use their words. Never take hold of their red sash. It was a pathetic and empty gesture designed to give the state-run propaganda networks another chance to sell ads while disseminating fear and perpetuate the psy-op that we all know is a prelude to a permanent dystopia of CAGW rationalized rationing, austerity and social control.

    I don’t think they are going to succeed. I did not know about Fauci’s financial incentives tied to remdesivir. I would love some sources on that.

    Our professional class with their degrees and endless catalog of stupid, business bingo buzzwords doesn’t know how the physical world works, nor are they capable of thinking for themselves and drawing conclusions that should be obvious. They love, “disruptors”, yet have no clue just how disruptive they have been and how disrupted their fantasies and delusions and games of make pretend will be. The Jacobins were intentional. They fully intended to kill off the feudal aristocracy and replace them with themselves. Our SF, LA, NY, Boston, Seattle, Portland Jacobins are merely engaged in a blind and clueless wanton destruction of themselves – and like the 500 bed theatric, “solution”, they can not see nor hear themselves as they whistle past the graveyard of holes their establishment heros have dug for them. May the rest of us find a bit high ground, out of the blast radius. I say that as a person who twiddles bits for a living and works in the most woke industry of them all. These people are gone, and they are never going to find their way out of the woods.

    Thank you for your wonderful writing.

        The best source on Fauci and his financial control of and ties to big pharma is RFK’s new book. I checked the book search on amazon and happily his book came up first after I typed in the word “The”. Yea!

        • themetalmystic December 17, 2021 at 2:26 pm #

          One other thing. While I don’t doubt RFK has some good information in there, I take him with a grain of salt. He is hopelessly wrong on the CAGW issue – to the point that he is a kook on it. That doesn’t invalidate any truths on the issue of whether or not Fauci is financially incentivized to promote remdesivir. I’ll take a look and validate any sources.

          • SW December 17, 2021 at 4:01 pm #

            I read RFK’s book on Fauci and it should be required reading for every medical student at the very least. It’s documented with interviews, articles and information that was obtained by Freedom of Information. He’s a lawyer and knows he has to back up assertions with facts.

            Fauci’s ties to Big Pharma were far worse than I imagined and the chapters on HIV had information I’ve never heard before. All contradictions to the HIV theory were buried and the authors punished.

            Cool. Thank you for the good information. I will check it out.

            CAGW is Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming. What the regime calls, “Climate Change.” RFK is hopelessly wrong on the issue. He has forfeited his credibility by that. I’ll take a look at his book, but be on the lookout for other sources that have proven to be more reliable and accurate.

            I am not saying this whole Covid thing isn’t a giant con – I believe it is. I just want to get my facts correct so I don’t forfeit my credibility and so I can clearly reason and act accordingly.

          “his book came up first after I typed in the word “The”

          That made me laugh!

          I got a bit of a boost last night. Hubby is working his way through Kennedy’s book, which I ordered for him and just left beside the bed. I don’t comment on it. He’s read more of it than me so far (mine’s on my Kindle).

          Every night he puts the BBC news on at 6pm, the C4 news at 7pm, then BBC recap again at 10pm. I just leave the kitchen when it comes on as I can’t stand it when the corona stuff starts (i.e. immediately).

          Last night I heard the news go on at 6pm and by 6.10 the sound had gone off.

          First. Time. Ever.

          Also got a boost because a lovely German neighbour I have (who’s been here since before me, 20 years ago) came over to see how my husband was. I told her what I put his collapse down to and she’s completely aware of the whole story, having family in Germany obviously, but she knew all what we know, right down to thinking it’s a depop event. Helped me to know there’s someone else in addition to the postie! Her family in Germany are divided too – she’s trying to keep if from causing family problems.

          • GreenAlba December 20, 2021 at 6:37 am #

            Well, we’re not there yet, Mary. It’s possible that he could read the whole thing and just kind of leave it in a compartment of his mind. I’ve learned some unfortunate things about him in the last 6 months, regarding his capacity for self-delusion.

            I had a barney the other day with a retired doctor friend of his. She hadn’t known about his collapse on Wednesday and phoned on Thursday to speak to him (they only catch up rarely).

            I told her what had happened and the it had happened a few weeks after his booster. She’s a very good doctor and diagnostician, outside of covid issues, but very forthright, and can on occasion even be bombastic in her manner – in a not suffering fools gladly kind of way. She stopped me mid-sentence and told me I’d lost the plot (that’s the third time in recent weeks my mental health has been impugned!). I’m getting tired of being ‘the defence’, as Kesa puts it, so I just lost my rag and said I wasn’t having the conversation and put the phone down.

            I later emailed her and told her she could look up Prof Desmet to find out about her condition – mass formation psychosis – and gave her the link to Peter McCullough’s presentation (the one our Troll won’t comment on) and Steve Kirsch’s constantly updated series of about 200 slides on all the vaxx injuries, deaths, national statistics and a whole lot of other stuff. It’s a very good starting point for people new to what’s going on.

            So, I told Dr Bombastic that I wasn’t taking insults about my mental health any more from psychotics. I have a bunch of other stuff to send her, but can’t do it for a few days. I’ll let her stew for a bit – she’s not got back to me with any refutations.

            It will be an interesting one. She’s retired but in contact with doctors who aren’t. And she doesn’t have the same personality as my husband. Once I’ve sent her more stuff (like hubby I’m sure she’s never even heard the term ‘great reset’) I’m going to make it quite clear to her that she is now under a moral obligation to do something with what she knows. As Anna de Buisseret says, ‘silence is a war crime’.

          • GreenAlba December 20, 2021 at 6:39 am #

            Re hubby, he’s not talking about the book and I’m not prodding.
            But I think the news has still definitely been on less, so fingers crossed. He’s still on his iPad more than in the book, talking to his echo-chamber colleagues. So we’ll just have to see.

        Then we agree thirdcoastlegend. I made a point that the Jacobins were rational actors in the sense they were intentionally supplanting the ancien regime. What they did afterward was deeply irrational, because, well, that is what happens when you have a utopian vision that justifies your little power play.

        The GMPC (global metropolitan professional class); hmmm… just made that up I like it; are not. The subtext being what you said; they are a zombie army of cultists. That said, in addition to being brain dead tools, they still have the utopian vision and thus are very, very dangerous. Even more dangerous is they are tools of someone/thing. That someone/thing is probably Davos man, and Davos man has power and a plan. We all better be prepared to in many small, rational ways to do something legendary over the coming months and years.

    Before seeing what JHK had to say, I scanned our local paper. The following story is on the front page.
    https://www.al.com/coronavirus/2021/12/vaccines-are-the-lifeboats-that-god-is-sending-says-uab-dr-david-kimberlin.html

    I personally have not treated one Covid case. My former physician, a friend, just got over Delta Covid last week, three months after his Pfizer booster in September and attributes his smooth recovery to the vaccine.

    I ask, why should I take a vaccine that 2 months after taking it still allows me to be sick? Neither my hygienist or receptionist wanted to take the vaccine. I didn’t insist and just test them with Binax every week. But while we were off in September my receptionist got Covid (24 years old) and having recovered said she will consider the vaccine in 6 months because she doesn’t want to go through that again.

    My rather prosaic concern, besides the end of the world financial system and elite depopulation agendas, is my own small business liability for this CF…
    That’s about where I stand.

    • Hardrock December 17, 2021 at 11:45 am #

      RockDoc…something about your “prosaic concern” reminded me of this exchange I overheard in the garden.

      A carrot and a potato are discussing the state of the world. The carrot asks, “what is it that worries you most?”

      The potato replies, “Not sure…but long-term, it’s a toss up between entropy and anti-matter. What about you.”

      “Salads”, says the carrot.

      Whether with the virus itself, or it’s imitator the Vaxx, a small amount of people are going to get it to varying degrees, old news.

      The press just hangs around hospitals, clinics etc waiting to interview this small group who legitimately get the drug and suffer for it, and use their stories on page one to make it appear the sky is falling.

      Do you not recognize the technique, Trump was “fired” using it.

      Omicron is showing the same thing right now. The folks saying that it may be the final act of the pandemic are being suppressed by the MSM and all the chicken littles are getting page one.

      One thing that really bothers me are the TV ads for drugs, put there to get patients to pressure Docs to prescribe them. Holy s*&t, some of the side effects on them are horrendous, remembering that only certain level effects need to be reported. And cross medication effects are not even mentioned.

      In nursing school, our hospital actually had a floor, tele, that monitored folks that were having all their meds stopped because of horrendous cross drug effects. I have always wondered if it isn’t caused by multiple MD referrals with no one watching the big picture?

      Interesting anecdote. Thank you for sharing.

      I am an engineer by trade. Part of my craft when not building things, is fixing things. Troubleshooting problems relies on the 8th grade chemistry of one variable and one control. It is fundamental in isolating a problem. I devise experiments all of the time, and I enjoy doing it.

      I have tried very hard to come up with an experiment where you could conclusively say that the vaccine keeps you from getting more severely sick than you would have otherwise. How do you control that experiment? I am open to the proof of its efficacy, but I don’t buy it. I think it is even harder to prove given how the overwhelming majority of the population, has mild symptoms if any, and the testing regime is highly suspect. You can’t un-vaccinate someone. The variables across a single individual much less an entire control group of statistical significance seems massive beyond comprehension.

      In other words, until conclusive proof that vaccines reduce severity in a significant and measurable way, I say bollocks! I’d love to see that doctor’s evidence to support his, OPINION!

      • JohnAZ December 17, 2021 at 2:52 pm #

        Right on! Population variability makes medical experimentation very difficult. Especially when the PTB in the control towers are trying to stop experiments that would reduce the fear level.

We should all thank God, well there isn’t a God, so thank Fauci and Pfizer for the vaccine. If it wasn’t for the vaccine your father would be 8 times as dead as he is now. Now, those three sentences are more time, words and courtesy than I’ve given patients in the past 21 years of practicing medicine combined, so if you’ll excuse me, I’ll take my leave.

        • spaingaroo December 18, 2021 at 10:32 am #

          simply counting <15 days post second jab as unvaccinated is the only trick they need.
          Most cases occur in the window of worry, I think it's called, where the jab causes all defences to go down, and people are more vulnerable than ever.
          Also the majority of jab side effects come in this window too, and can be counted as covid.

      “my receptionist got Covid (24 years old) and having recovered said she will consider the vaccine in 6 months because she doesn’t want to go through that again.”

      If she’s got natural immunity she won’t have to go through it again.

      If she gets the vaccine that could be dangerous. Dr Byram Bridle explained that (a) no-one who’s had covid needs the vaxx, as immunity lasts for years, and (b) it’s actually more risky for people who’ve recovered from covid to take the vaxx. A friend of mine had covid last year, got vaxxed this year, and had a heart attack in the summer.

      My own daughter went two years without getting covid, got vaxxed, then got covid within 6 weeks. Then said she never expected it to stop her getting covid …

      • GreenAlba December 17, 2021 at 5:41 pm #

        Natural immunity lasts for years, possibly for life.

        They know this because people who had SARS still have the antibodies.

      • RocketDoc December 17, 2021 at 8:46 pm #

        Thanks GA.

        You and I know that, but I imagine if you have had a bad case of it you would like to be as pro-active as possible about doing anything and everything to keep from getting it again. Many of us have early treatment protocols on hand to have done what you could before it is too late to do anything. She was against vaccination because her boyfriend was against it. She has heard you can get it again. I told her that was unlikely but certainly as her immunity wanes and the virus morphs it is possible to get re-infected. But the shot may not help either viz. my own physician…

        My son is in medical school-had Covid in September 2020 and the school required him to get the shots in March. He is fine so far…. I am wondering when my “fully vaccinated” status runs out. Why not get the O if its milder and rely on natural immunity thereafter?

    • cbeard December 19, 2021 at 7:06 pm #

      Did you not inform your receptionist that she now has immunity to covid after her recovery. Something the so called vaccine cannot provide. I read somewhere that taking the jab after recovery could create a problem with your natural immunity. So there is no reason whatsoever for her to take the shot.

    I In the past year my ability to take a stand has becomes easier and easier because I just don’t want to be tainted with the rampant idiocy around me. It’s the real virus I’m afraid of.

    I do get a bit overwhelmed by the stupid around me but I continue to maintain a common sense stance whenever possible. Last night I passed on our neighborhood caroling party because the organizer is a Karen and said “masks required.” Outside. There was a low turnout but like the problems in employment, schools etc the mask issue is never attributed as a reason.

    Our culture has elevated doctors and teachers to a degree that does not match reality. To be frank most teachers are average in intelligence otherwise they would be doing something else. Many that I know do it for the perks not for the passion of teaching. Doctors prove themselves to be the best and most ardent rule-followers after years of hoop-jumping to get their degree. They are trained not to be thinkers but establishment upholders and decision-tree interpreters. These professional categories no longer deserve our reverence and as the facade crumbles I’m applauding.

    Health is something you do on your own. Same with attaining knowledge. Both these notions are shielded by the medical and educational establishments. They’ve corrupted thinking. They’ve homogenize everything to average and erased the idea that one can think for ones self or that an individual’s health is unique (it is), This is why so many follow – the idea to not do so fills many with anxiety as it’s not something they’ve ever done.

    Many are living their lives as if they get to be in a special club or get a prize if they follow all the establishment/government rules. It’s painful to witness as it’s a crisis of spirituality and their lack of it.

    Free thinking is where I stand and my direct connection to a higher power. I know I am supported.

      Over this time, the hijacked or evolved party, has wed itself to the state.

      Ike’s final words as CiC were still echoing, and JFK perhaps heeding too strongly, did not hear the echo of the adversary’s parting shot.

      No, most teachers are way below average in intelligence. A few are both smart and gifted, most admit that they do it for “summers off”. I worked closely with teachers for a decade. The very best ones I worked with weren’t recognized.

      The ones with the best reputations were good at self promotion.

      Some good smart teachers left in disgust. The good ones who stayed came to work a bit early, did their job, stayed a bit late and kept to themselves. And their students mostly advanced a bit more than 1 grade level during their year with her. The general population in the system mostly advanced a fraction of a grade level during the year so getting a 5th grader who begins the year at a third or second grade level to perform at a fourth or third grade level shows phenomenal teaching ability.

        Did want to agree though on the intelligence level of the teachers. I knew it was bad way before I had a child in school because my mother worked as support staff at a high school when I was in my 20’s. Most of the teachers she dealt with were simply high-functioning idiots. The stories she had painted a grim picture and she became very anti high-school and the teacher cabal/Union. When we decided to home school she was our biggest champion and cheerleader.

        We have protected our son from many hazards of our world as we’ve raised him but pulling him from the school system is one of the most protected moves we’ve made.

The final straw for me was when the school I worked in employed a transvestite as – take a deep breath – a “wellness counselor”. One of my students asked my opinion about this person and I said that he shouldn’t be working with young kids dressed like that. This got back to the head teacher who wrote a snotty letter asking me to bend the knee and apologize. I refused, told him and the HR karens to go to hell, and become self-employed. I still work with kids from the school and every assignment is about climate change, white people bad and “challenging gender roles”. Most of the teachers are pathetic wokesters and a few old sweats keeping their heads down till retirement. BTW, we homeschooled our kids too and avoided the madness.

    Excellent summation. I am so sick of the adulation of that war criminal and mass murderer Fauci. I consider anyone who still lauds him to be a flaming idiot.
    I would only add to the list that he was the one pushing and funding the gain-of-function bioweapon research that started this whole thing.
    Biological warfare is illegal under international law under a treaty sign by the USA back in the 70s.

          When the NYC reaction to the Crud started last year, the lack of PPE was a threat to the health care workers. Guess where it was made? Trump had to enact wartime orders to get the US firms to make PPE and vents. Remember?

    Yet another excellent post today, James. Thank you. As usual, chock full of many gems.

    That Fauxi is still revered amongst the wokies and the Good Germans is something that continues to baffle me, even though I well understand mass formation and the psychology that is pushing them to. I hope RJK, Jr.’s book jars some of them out of their stupor, but I’m guessing his biggest audience are the folks that already are onto the grift.

    Where I stand has not altered since this began: No to forced muzzling (last winter I was the only one unmasked in our local grocery store – thankfully no one messed with me much). No jab. No social distancing. No complying with any ‘mandates.’ No bending to coercion. Daily research into how to expose the grift. Disseminating information daily to anyone who will listen, online. Continuing to be educated as to what is going on.

    What I am happy to see is that the booster requirement plus the obvious omicron variant bullshit is starting to force even some of the most dedicated covid death culters to start questioning what’s going on.

    • JohnAZ December 17, 2021 at 1:47 pm #

      Mary

      As you know, I do not believe that there is going to be a short term die off from the vaxx mostly because the mRNA and the S proteins are going to be destroyed by the immune system along with the antibodies in fairly short order, months. That is its job. I have not seen anyone claim the S proteins have a secret that hides them from the immune cells.

      The dots however may point to a more insidious plan however that I am starting to wonder about being under the control of a power somewhere.

      Strawman warning:

      What if:
      What if the primary danger to our well being does not come from the vaxx itself, but from repeated doses of the vaxx? I acknowledge the immediate mortality and side effects from the vaxx triggering co-morbidities and a few from the immune system unable to fight off the virus itself, both small %s.

      I have been suspicious for a long time that a cause of premature death in folks is the number of immune insults a person experiences, each one decreasing the immune response to the next one and here lately, I have seen references to the possibility that the telemeres are actually being shortened by sicknesses.

      Here is the rub, you probably already see it. If we design a vaxx program that is dependent of getting jabs frequently, are we programming into society a shorter average life span?

      Want a premature die off? Plan it over 20 – 30 years, no one will notice?

      Is something like this possibility a planned exercise or just stupidity and ignorance?

      Right now, I am expecting Fauci et al to come out with the next booster. In about 2 months. Not me.

      Sure hopes this burns out with Omicron, THE COLD.

      • JohnAZ December 17, 2021 at 1:48 pm #

        One thing I hope someone actually does. Measures the B and T memory cell response to the disease and the vaxx to see if long term immunity is even in the cards.

      • MaryQueen December 17, 2021 at 5:35 pm #

        We’ve been explaining the Great Reset to everyone up here for months and months.

        Covid19 existed to get us to vax passports. It’s not really that complicated.

        They will kill off people with vaxxes and continue to blame Covid19 to keep the fear alive.

        It’s all a hoax.

        • JohnAZ December 17, 2021 at 6:10 pm #

          A hoax maybe, but a deadly successful one.

        • JohnAZ December 17, 2021 at 6:32 pm #

          Seriously, OGs Truth about Covid is being hidden successfully around the world. The folks in the antivaxx side need to chip away with visual data of what is going on. I believe from some actual data that immune damage is what the problem is and it needs to be investigated more what is actually happening. Not a guys feelings about what could be happening. A cardiologist states “facts” about the vaccine from untested Vaers data and it is a fact.

          NO! Vaers data is unreliable, look at what Italy just did with its data base on Covid itself, only 3000 0f 130000 deaths were directly attributable to the virus.

          What is going to stop this is Omicron being a cold which initial results indicate it might be,

          Or a concerted effort of research to SEE what is going on inside the body causing the damage, why the damage kills with co-morbidities and if it is accumulative.

          185 million vaxxed folks, you would think that a study could be initiated. Loads of dead folks from the disease itself, seem like someone could look at a few bodies to see why they died, what the disease did to them. Does the disease just cull out co-morbidities or is it toxic somehow itself. The Italy data seems to indicate the former. Even so, what can we do to offset those co-morbidities so that folks don’t die.?

          Another realm of research might be a genuine look at various antiviral drugs to destroy the virus in situ. early on. a prophylactic one would be wonderful, virus shows up, take castor oil to suppress it. Ivermectin needs to be proved up, by independent research, no Fauci led CDC garbage. Ivermectin plus any other candidates.

          • Sean Coleman December 18, 2021 at 7:01 pm #

            Dr Chetty from S Africa argues that sickness from both Covid (which in my own opinoin does not exist as such) and the vaccines is down to allergic response. He thiniks a regular vaccine accustoms the body to the presence of the allergen (be it the MRNA or the lipid shell or indeed the adjuvants) which prevents susceptible people from reacting too severely the self-same allergen when it arrives via a new viral infection (if I have understood this rightly) albeit at some cost to his health.

            I share your doubts about the ability of the MRNA to penetrate cells. This is the argument I have heard from Dr Stafno Scoglio of Italy. On the other hand David Martin does not doubt it for a momemt and says it ihas bee shown to work for some years now.

            Dr Chetty’s arguments (made most recenty and in detail in Sitzung 82 of the Corona Ausschuss) chime with a remark made by Martin to the same Ausschuss some time ago that their aim is to get people “addicted” to the vaccine. This statement had puzzled me but perhaps Chetty has explained it. In other words, a constnat, steady dose of the allergen keeps things in check but if it is removed for some time a reappearnce of the allergen in the form of a new wave of the virus would trigger a dangerous response, at least in some (all?) people.

            I do not know what is going on but it is very bad, whatever it is.

            These people are cunning and deceitful, it seems, but I think they believe their own hype too much as regrards their technical ability.

          • Sean Coleman December 18, 2021 at 7:12 pm #

            I think the use of adjuvants (adiuvants?) was permitted, or increased, in 1989 and (again from memory) the sharp rise in autism dates from then too. I think the injufires are down to the simple result of poisoning (but what do I know?) as the levels in the body acculmulate. (I think it was yourself who said the same thing upthread.)

            Another angle is the claim that vaccines might be designed as a kind of ‘chip’. Not sure how that would work. But then again these people seem to be mad, bad and deluded enough to try something along these lines and it appears that they are on record as saying such things. I do not know who might be the best authority on the subject.

      • Hereward the Woke December 18, 2021 at 1:00 pm #

        JohnAZ: I think you are spot on with the multiple jabs theory. If it was ONLY about digital passes, they could have achieved that target with just one jab. The fact that they are pushing more and more “boosters” means that it has to be something to do with the actual jab itself. And locking all the info on what’s exactly inside the jab till 2076 confirms that. It’s about the jab, it’s about what’s in it, and it’s about depopulation via wrecking our immune systems. No other explanation that I can see. Don’t take anymore jabs!

    Amazing

    taxpayer funded governments worldwide purchase millions of doses of vax and then Pfizer hides their profits from taxes. What a wonderful world

    Pfizer, originally an American company, will most likely funnel the billions it receives from governments for its vaccine through tax havens – just as it does with its other earnings. These include the Netherlands, Luxemburg, Ireland and Delaware. For example, in the Dutch company register we can find a Dutch LLC, AHP Manufacturing, that belongs to Pfizer and falls under a Luxembourg-based holding company, Pfizer Shareholdings Intermediate SARL. That corporation’s statutes, in turn, show the involvement of corporations in Gibraltar.

    • JohnAZ December 17, 2021 at 2:45 pm #

      You may have a huge point there.

      Grow up in the luxury of the USA, get big enough so taxes become large enough to move offshore, then internationalize.

      Didn’t the world finance guys just pass a 15% minimum corporate income tax so that countries cannot “steal” corporations from each other charging lower rates?

      Nice excuse for more taxation.

    A powerful, brilliant essay, like so many before. Is this disintegration of culture + society brought about by wokesters, malign individuals, ie Fauci, rapacious elites or does a system of centralized power and mass society make it inevitable? Chicken and egg thing. The Amish live apart. The bible tells them to do this. They don’t drive cars, they do not live in the geography of nowhere. 99.9% of Christians have a personal relationship with God or something and just fit into this warped system. They are disingenuous! Moral superiority doesn’t cut it. Do you expect Jesus will come and deliver them to the World made by hand? To make sure I am understood, I’ll spell it out. I am talking in analogy. The Amish get their food from God, not the industrialized food system. So do I. I drove my car 400 miles last year. That’s where I stand.

    @JHK

    It probably makes sense to speculate on the future trajectory of this covy madness as it relates to the long term survival of the masses.

    But it would be silly, I believe, to imagine [lest anyone should be so inclined] that resistance is possible. We, all ARE going to die much sooner than most of us have imagined.

    So, the question and the task at hand for each individual is, in the context of one’s unique life circumstances, how does one resolve one’s intellectual acceptance and one’s emotional denial of imminent death. But moreover, perhaps, how does one pursue longer term survival in accordance with innate genetic/emotional predisposition while intellectually acknowledging the infinitely low probability of escaping the gallows?

    The fear rises when the view clears
    But mostly the shadows hide what nears.
    And so it has been all of these years.
    But still hope with oddity and humor.

    We could take them with us but it won’t happen.

    From the book They Thought They Were Free, by Milton Mayer, an American who traveled to Germany after the world and interviewed people there. I got my copy from the University of Chicago.
    “But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and the smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked – if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.

    “And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jew swine,’ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in – your nation, your people – is not the world you were in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God.” …

    I have quoted this a lot over the years, but today the part that really stands out is this: ”The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays.”

    That was the old version of nazism. Look at us today, locked down in our houses, shuttered shops, working at home for those who still are employed, no visits allowed, no concerts, no cinemas, holidays cancelled. Families at war with each other.
    It was a bold move, designed no doubt to destroy the sense of community. Coupled with the covering of faces, even children, in order to stop their normal growth and development, including emotional connection with other humans and the development of speech.
    They are destroying what it is to be human, even the pathetic simulacrum we already had in advanced suburban capitalism.

        The 20th century Right narrative gives people pride in country and family, it tells them that everything is good at the core. It pushes the power of the individual and tells the individual they are accountable for their success or lack there of.

        The 21st century Left narrative gives people anger and anxiety, it tells them that someone is blocking them, that some injustice has been done to them and that government will champion their cause. They are not responsible for their failings others are. Government will provide the pride and hope they have beed denied.

            Go back about 10 posts and see what I addressed to Mary. Duality requiring logic and real proof is not a bad thing.

            The difference with me is the realization of what may happen to people in the long term after repeated hits with the vaccines they invent. The high inflammatory response to this vaxx is not good. Each hit with a round of vaxx is going to take out more, let alone any accumulative effects on the body. The idea of a booster maybe every four months is not good. I will be skipping any further boosters until accumulative data on this effect is in.

            As I said to Mary, this could be a plausible long term de-pop drive, by whom? Who can we attack? How?

            Disaffected maybe right, there are no longer two or more directions, but why,

            Is it the higher education bias over 20 years?

            Is it because except for a few idiots, no one really cares?

            Did Trump piss off so money in his past so much he has sworn to destroy him no matter what and is backing it up with his money?

            Or more likely, Did Trump form a focus for a large group that have finagled their way into these positions over decades financed by a group that are literally trying to change the world to their viewpoint. The worst part is that the US contingent of this group calls themselves Democrat.

            The magazines and newspapers are owned by them, the courts are owned by them, the GOP is owned by them, the Deep State works for them. Trump has nothing to do with it. It is an agenda which is being put into place using the government, but it is not a government agenda. Almost every government in the world is controlled and going along with it.
            It is in their self interest, the way they see it They either go along and get rewarded or the resist and get suicided.
            Look at the president of Tanzania, who resisted and publicly ridiculed it. He dead now.
            The president of Belarus resisted and faced a Color Revolution and an assassination attempt.

      Hi Paula D.

      “In between come all the hundreds of little steps…Step C is not so much worse than Step B…”

      I have been researching the Nazi edicts of the 1930’s and indeed learned that they had a step-by-step strategy as the author describes. To many it didn’t seem very problematic that the Jews had to merely give an accounting of their wealth in April of 1938. But then came November. They were ordered to sell much of those assets. And they knew where the assets were and how much they were worth.

      Today a friend wrote me that Austria plans to suspend your driving license until you get vaccinated.

      It’s complete tribute to wretched excess that one can feel good about, because it doesn’t burn gas.

      I read it weighs 4.5 tons — 9,000 pounds! That’s two 1975 Ford LTDs; two 2020 Chevy Colorado p/u Trucks; FOUR original Mazda Miatas.

      I saw a GM manager or exec on Woodward in one of these two months ago, with a “manufacturers plate” (so it’s an evaluation vehicle, not to be sold, but allowed in Michigan).

      On the road, it is BIG, compared to other cars, even big pick-up truck. I made eye contact, and then gave him a dirty look and thumbs down!

      Immature, yes, but I enjoyed it doubly–his expression, and knowing that the “Manufacturer’s Plate” will limit any road rage response 🙂

      The Electric Vehicle (Tesla, Bolt, Leaf, even this horrible Hummer) is the prerequisite for the Autonomous Vehicle (AV).

      The AV, of necessity, costs more to build than the most expensive Porsche or Ferrari, so people won’t be able to afford them. But, for a ride service like Uber–they will be perfect. Just like robots don’t get sick or forget welds, AVs won’t need a driver. The labor savings will amortize the cost of the vehicle.

      The PTB want AVs. “They save lives” (sound familiar?). They remove human error, which is the cause of 95% of all accidents.

      Once AV acceptance reaches the tipping point, they will squeeze out motorists (much like they are working on squeezing the unvaxxed), and once cars, like horses, exist only as playthings and everyone is using AV apps, it will be easy to control where people go and when (unless they walk)

        sadly, our electric generation and transmission lines are just about at capacity now. where exactly does TPTB think the necessary electric infrastructure exists – because it sure isn’t here… summer or winter.

    “… Fauci reiterated his warning that the nation faces “a crisis of the unvaccinated.”

    What he means is that the Nation faces a crisis of the Un-Propagandized. A very dangerous and threatening group for those weasels like Doctor ‘I Am The Science!’ and his disciples and peddlers of death and misery.

    “Omicron is upon us…”

    Just in time for the holidays! Be the first on your block to get the New Omicron OmniCON Variant. Be the envy of your friends! The Very Scary Vary-Ant.

    “…the hospitals will soon be overwhelmed by the unvaxxed.”

    The hospitals will be overwhelmed by their empty hallways devoid of paying customers and of purposeful medical professionals who used to work there who’ve been put out to pasture prematurely for not allowing unknown and untested concoctions to be shoved into their arms.

    “…the gravest threat to America’s public health is… Dr. Tony Fauci and his debauchery of medical science.”

    The gravest threat to public health is not so much Doctor Arrogant but the fact that millions of Americans accept his drivel-for-profit as some kind of gospel from the most-high enlightened. He could peddle his swill all he wants and get nowhere if Americans had a lick of sense left in them to see a con when they see one.

    “… Fauci is likely responsible for a preponderance of the total 802,000 US Covid deaths — putting aside the number of people who actually died from highway accidents, cancer, diabetes, old age, and other causes, but were listed as covid deaths by hospital accounting personnel avid for federal subsidy cash.”

    There will be a move afoot to classify all deaths that have occurred since the turn of the New Millennium as Covid caused. Someone will announce that Covid actually was unleashed by Saddam as part of his weapons of mass delusion program and that’s why we had to invade Syria.

    “The omicron moment may be the power-mad little weasel’s last stand.”

    Doctor ‘I-Can’t-Believe-I’m-Still-Getting-Away-With-This-Sh*t’ will never be allowed to fall because he is the Poster Boy for the whole Covid Swindle. If he goes, so does the entire ugly house of cards. And that can never happen. Too much money to be made and too many faux reputations to be lost.

    “Fauci is now warning that America’s hospitals will be overwhelmed (and that it will be the fault of the unvaxxed). Consider this: He predicted the same thing for the first wave of the virus…”

    Too late for this year, but by next year they’ll be a Fauci doll where you pull his string and spouts, “GET THE VAX! THE NEW VARIANT IS TERRIBLE! FOLLOW THE SCIENCE! I AM THE SCIENCE!” Just in time for next year’s holidays… if any of us live that long.

    “American doctors have proven to be cowards, cravens, zombies, and fools facilitating Dr. Fauci’s evil campaign…”

    What is a fact is that millions of people all over the World have lost faith in the medical industry and profession. The damage is profound and permanent. Who would trust these cowards and empty suits anymore for a New York second?

    “…where do you stand?”

    Stand? The biggest problem today is that billions of people are on their knees. And liking it.

    It’s unfortunate that people generally are pretty bad at assessing probability and risk. Opposition to COVID-19 vaccination offers a pretty good case in point. Namely, people are flipping their shit about vaccines increasing risk of myocarditis and pericarditis (inflammation of heart muscle and of the sac that encloses the heart, respectively).

    Courtesy of Naked Capitalism, this just came over the transom from the United Kingdom:

    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01630-0

    They have pretty good data in the UK, since they have a public National Health Service. So the researchers were able to get a really good picture of the reality on the ground. They looked at peri/myocarditis events within 28 days of vaccination (38 million vaccine recipients), and compared it against similar events within 28 days of a positive COVID test (3 million COVID patients). Pretty fair comparison, right? Here’s what they found:

    – For vaccine recipients, they counted 2+1+6 = 9 events per million people (that’s three different vaccines, added up) after a first dose, and 10 events per million people after a second dose.
    – For COVID patients, they counted 40 myocarditis events per million patients.

    Again, that’s 19 per million for the vaccines, versus 40 per million for the disease. 40 chances in a million is 1 in 25,000 odds. For any one individual, that’s a minuscule risk. All of us probably take bigger risks than that every single day without realizing it. Walking up a flight of stairs is probably more dangerous than that, to say nothing of crossing the street. The numbers only start to bite when you apply them to an entire country — in which case, COVID the disease is about twice as deadly as the vaccines.

    I mean, if you don’t trust Anthony Fauci or elites generally, God love ya, I’m on your side. But the science and The Science are two separate things, and the lowercase science still says vaccines are the way to go. But some people really just like flipping their shit.

Just try googling both sites for certain terms: ‘the tribe’, for example. You’d expect to get hits referencing native American tribes, or the abstract concept of a tribe; and on both sites, that’s what you get. But it’s only on CFN that you find anti-Semitic dog whistles or just straight-up anti-Semitism, referring to Jews as ‘the tribe’.

      Except that America’s most published heart specialist ever in history has pointed out that the myocarditis you get from covid is nothing at all compared to the myocarditis you get from the vaxx, which is much more dangerous.

      I could find you the interview, as I listened to it only yesterday, but somehow I just can’t be arsed, sorry.

      If you choose to waste your breath arguing about it, I’ll dig it out.

      • Eppur Simuove December 18, 2021 at 11:54 am #

        GreenAlba, I’d be pleased to have a reasoned argument with you about it. But primary sources carry more weight than arguments from authority. Even America’s most published heart specialist can get it wrong.

        I’d start by returning to my point about risk. The risk from the virus is clear: it infects, multiplies, and proliferates inside the human body without bound. The only limit to how far it will go is the death of the host. Along the way it may do little harm (some people are asymptomatic) or enormous harm, with major organ damage including severely damaged lungs and leaving the sufferer’s brain sponged with tiny holes. As this study shows, peri/myocarditis is another potential side effect.

        That’s the virus. The risks of vaccines, on the other hand, are also clear: they produce a consistent and measured effect. Any harm they do is limited by the simple fact that they don’t grow exponentially once they get inside you. (When I say ‘exponentially’, what I have in mind is ‘explosively’.) The peri/myocarditis issue, now confirmed to be real, is also confirmed to be no different from the risk you run with the virus itself, except the vaccine cuts that risk in half. It’s also drowned out by the vast amount of other damage the virus can cause, like a match against a bundle of TNT.

        So the risk proposition isn’t: take a dangerous vaccine or be sensible and avoid it. It’s this: take a small, specific, measurable risk from the jab, which vastly improves your chances against a shitstorm of other consequences; or refuse, and bet that you can walk between the raindrops.

        In the end, I’m just running my mouth and you’ll do what you like. But even if your heart specialist is right, it’s still not a question of mild myocarditis versus dangerous myocarditis; it’s a question of myocarditis versus myocarditis-plus-shitstorm.

      @ eppur

      Assessing risk is absolutely at the heart of the matter. About that, you are on the side of the angels.

      At least on the scale of the short-term, the risk from the vaccine seems relatively small. This is my assessment from statistical analyses that I have seen. The long-term is quite another matter because no one can honestly say what the long-term repercussions of the vaccine may be. I accept the possibility that there may well be none but as far as I am aware, future prognostication is a very suspect art. The ethics of mandating a treatment without an understanding of long-term effects is a topic for another debate.

      The risk from the actual disease itself is also quite small. The IFR, according to the CDC is about .2% , or roughly 1 in 400. It’s pretty well known that the overwhelming majority of Covid fatalities have been of the elderly, the ill and the obese persuasion. If you are not in any of those categories, you are, statistically speaking, about as safe as you can be in an existence where, as you point out, risk is inherent. The hospitalization rate is similarly low, somewhere between 1-5% of those infected.

      The vaccines much-reported 90% risk reduction (which has subsequently been downgraded) is a relative measure. The absolute risk reduction from the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines was in the neighborhood of 1% which means that taking the vaccine afforded most people a pretty much statistically insignificant risk reduction.

      So there’s the crux of it: you can willingly take a minimally effective vaccine with no long-term safety profile or take your chances with a fairly mild disease that you might not even contract in the first place (pre-existing T-cell response to SARS peptides in 81% of test subjects was documented in a peer-reviewed Nature study in January 2021). Unless you are ancient, already on death’s door or 300 lbs, it seems like a risk and probability no-brainer to me.

      • Eppur Simuove December 18, 2021 at 12:26 pm #

        Thank you for this, King of Comedy. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to talk about this in a reasoned way, without invective.

        Regarding short versus long-term risks of the vaccine, everything you say is true. We may remember the past, but we can’t really know the future; we can only wait for it to reveal itself to us at a rate of one second per second. We’re forced to assume that the way the future works itself out will be like the ways things worked out in the past, and in our ignorance prepare as best we can.

        From there, though, I start to differ from you. First, I’m not really concerned with the ‘persuasion’ of the people who died. What you’re saying there, in effect, is that people who are in high-risk groups are at higher risk, which is tautological. Meanwhile, they’re still sick or dead. The point of medicine is to help people, yes? To my mind, that means the reason to pay attention to factors like age, obesity and so on is to know who to prioritize for help. It seems to me that instead you’re using those factors to parcel those people off and dismiss them from consideration.

        Regarding the rest of your comments, well, I think we’ve both fallen into the trap of thinking of things from the individual point of view. (When I include myself I’m referring to my response to GreenAlba above.) For any one person, it may make sense to ask whether they personally should take this risk or that. But this ignores the systemic aspect: what happens when thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of people all get a disease at once? Even tiny percentages start to tell at that point, because there are only so many hospital beds. The health care system, designed to handle the ‘normal’ number of cases, gets swamped by a giant pulse of sick people all needing treatment at the same time.

        This risk is real, has actually happened at various times and places since the pandemic began, and is not going to go away as long as COVID continues to mutate and find ways around immunity (including whatever natural immunity comes from surviving an infection, not just that conferred by vaccines). That’s the reason why public health authorities have been running around with their hair on fire for the past two years: the danger not just to COVID sufferers, but to anyone at all who might ever need to be hospitalized, which pretty much means all of us. That’s why I think the case favours vaccination from both the individual as well as the systemic point of view.

        • King of Comedy December 18, 2021 at 1:47 pm #

          I have no problem protecting the vulnerable. The lackluster performance of the vaccines in doing so can at least be inferred from my point about the absolute risk reduction reported by the vaccine manufacturers (0.7% for Pfizer and 1.1% for Moderna). The link for these numbers is below.

          For non-vulnerable populations, however, the law of diminishing returns was there from the beginning. A cursory knowledge of epidemiology tells us that viruses with animal reservoirs are notoriously difficult (impossible?) to vaccinate against. The most successful vaccines (smallpox, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, etc) have been against those viruses which have no animal reservoirs.

          Another consideration is that “leaky” vaccines such as the Covid mRNA varieties may actually act as a selective pressure on the virus, creating variants that evolve to evade the vaccine. Over a long enough time line, without any intervention, natural selection favors a more transmissible and less virulent virus. Speeding up that process via ineffective vaccines may give us the more transmissible part without the less virulent benefit but again, that caution against future prognostication applies.

          By all means though, if a person is in any way compromised, he should avail himself of all prophylactic measures including the vaccine. For everybody else, the coercion is unwarranted. I have no issues with anyone, old, sick or fat, or not, choosing the vaccine route. Forcing low-risk populations to follow suit is where I draw the line.

          And, lastly, the overwhelmed hospital meme has been a constant from the advent of the pandemic but the data published by HHS in the US (link below) has never reflected that reality. I believe a version of reality accompanied by data that doesn’t match that reality is the textbook definition of propaganda.

            Have you seen Minority Report, KoC? There’s a scene where Tom Cruise delivers exposition about predetermination, which, he says, ‘happens all the time’:

            https://youtu.be/arACDYMiNuI

            Science fiction is not proof of anything, of course. That scene just comes to my mind every time this question comes up, because the point it makes is valid: the fact that you successfully intervene to prevent something from happening doesn’t change the fact that it was going to happen.

            In reality, we don’t have magical precogs to see the future. What we have is models, hopefully accurate ones, that tell us what to expect when certain conditions are fulfilled. The responsible thing then is to intervene and to prevent the worst outcomes. If you call that coercive, I agree with you. It’s also justified. It’s a rather adolescent mentality that plays the ‘coercion’ card as if that settled everything. If you get run over by a drunk driver, will you give thanks with your dying breath that at least the drunk’s freedom of action wasn’t limited by the coercive state? Coercion can be, and sometimes is, justified.

            Likewise, exponentially spreading disease that overwhelms hospital capacity is not a ‘meme’, it’s what actually happened in New York, Idaho and Alaska. All three states had to invoke crisis standards of care, because the disease spread out of control there and there weren’t enough critical care resources to go around to maintain ordinary standards. It’s amazing how short memories can be that people already forget that this happened. What’s really noteworthy here is not that those three states experienced crises, but that all the others didn’t. That was achieved through public health interventions, vaccination among them.

            Memes cut both ways, KoC, and like the coercion I’m afraid I see you playing the equally adolescent Mr. Gotcha game with this point. Unfortunately, that reflects the prevailing standard at CFN. In his increasingly unhinged and irrational hatred of Anthony Fauci in particular as the unique fount of all perfidy and all evil, JHK plays much the same game of saying the worst didn’t happen, therefore it was always a false alarm. In his case he brings up the NY convention center and a US naval hospital ship that was called in. No, thankfully, that’s not how bad it got. How bad it got was cutting care back to crisis standards, which is bad enough. What in a rational person would be relief turns into bitter denunciations. I really don’t know what else to say.

          • King of Comedy December 18, 2021 at 7:26 pm #

            As the saying goes… opinions are like assholes; everybody’s got one.

            Your whole coercion argument is predicated on the presumption that the vaccines are much more effective than they actually are. The numbers don’t lie though and that seems to be an inconvenient fact that you don’t feel the need to consider. We’re talking end of the day about a 1% benefit.

            By way of contrast, I’m a big fan of the smallpox vaccine because it actually worked. Smallpox was eradicated from the planet. There wasn’t talk of some percentage of breakthrough smallpox cases. Telling me the mRNA vaccines “reduce the risk of severe disease” when the overwhelming majority of those contracting Covid already don’t experience severe disease is a pretty unconvincing argument. It’s like trying to sell a product that makes the sky blue or better yet your drunk driver not so much running me over but giving me a bad case of the sniffles. Coercion seems more like theater of the absurd under those circumstances.

            I guess ultimately I don’t have the bedwetting gene so I’m always going to be a tough cell for the hysterics, official and otherwise. I’m perfectly comfortable with the premise that life is inherently dangerous and full of risks to this mortal coil. If I happen to be that 1 in 400 then, oh well, my time was up.

            From a debate perspective, this one always goes nowhere. You won’t convince me me of anything nor will I convince you. Life will go on, as usual, oblivious to your opinion or mine.

          • Eppur Simuove December 19, 2021 at 11:28 am #

            I agree that neither one of us appears likely to convince the other. But I can’t refrain from pointing out that rather than address the systemic question, which I went to some trouble to point out, you instead pivot back to reasserting your stance that the vaccine question turns on the benefit/risk to the individual. What’s more, you do so in a way that misrepresents my position, as I’ll explain.

            My argument does not, in fact, depend on overestimating the effectiveness of vaccines, nor on falsely depicting them as a magic bullet, which in the case of COVID at least they aren’t. To any one person, it ought to be self-evident that something which decreases the severity of illness, decreases the risk of death, and decreases the likelihood of permanent organ damage is worth giving a shot (or taking a shot, as it were). But there’s also a skein of cause and effect that binds us all together. Depending on circumstances, the way I swing my fist might hurt you, even if it comes nowhere near your nose, and a pandemic is one of those circumstances. When enough people decide to risk the disease and not the vaccine (let’s recall, you said I’m on the side of the angels on this point), they add to the likelihood of maxing out and exhausting the finite resources that everyone depends on. There comes a point where the camel’s back breaks. Suppose you did manage to walk between the COVID raindrops, only to see your beloved aunt with emphysema sent to hospice because there isn’t a ventilator to be had for love or money. How would you feel then? It behooves you to at least acknowledge this as a real thing, which has actually happened (New York, Idaho, Alaska) — not to pass over it in silence because you don’t have an answer and misconstruing my argument in the process.

          • Socrates-Detroit December 20, 2021 at 3:07 am #

            Epper Simuove, your arguments are based on data that is open to question, IMO,

            There is reason to believe that existing, inexpensive drugs, ivermectin, HCL, could have been used to treat COVID-19 patients and prevented many deaths, and reduced the duration of hospital stays, which would have taken pressure off the hospital system.

            However, that would undercut the rationale for the MRNA treatment.

            Are reports of abnormally high dearh rates among people under 60, or between 10-14 misinterpretation? Who knows? They seem credible to me.

            But even if we totally disregard what I wrote above, we do not really know what long term effects the MRNA drug will have. It’s being tested now.

            So on the basis of “do no harm” and given the risks, the shot looks like a very bad bet for children and healthy people, and potential long term risk as well.

            If you want to partake, feel free, but the government has no right to force me or anyone to accept a risky drug.

        • Grandpa December 19, 2021 at 12:24 am #

          epi, lots of words, reasonable discussion. But, a correction: the point of medicine and the first rule is “Do no harm”. And, again – it is not a vaccine, no matter how they change the definition to suit. It is a medical procedure. The fluid that is injected does do harm. All the statistics, charts, graphs, experts, “the Science” – all of it is kabuki theater for the easily distracted. I am a 70 year old type 1 diabetic, I have had Covid over a year ago, and now my monthly bloodwork includes testing for my natural immunity – which the fluid they inject folks with hampers development of. For me, a regimen of vitamins and minerals that I’ve taken for years made Covid four days of feeling lousy (read: the flu) and only the first day was a call out of work. Your mileage may vary; but you’ve been jabbed so you’ll never know how strong of a body the Lord gave you. Sad, that.

          • Eppur Simuove December 19, 2021 at 11:49 am #

            Grandpa, first off I’m sincerely glad you apparently didn’t experience the worst of COVID. I haven’t looked into it closely, but I do believe vitamin D deficiency is a big risk factor for making the disease more severe or life-threatening. It sounds like your regimen really helped there. Regarding vaccines, don’t they say the Lord helps those who help themselves? Anyway, it just isn’t in me to sit back and let a disease have its way.

            Science, though, isn’t kabuki — real science, I mean. Posturing and virtue signalling from the professional managerial class and members of the media isn’t to be mistaken for the painstaking work of figuring out what’s really going on. The authorities who are supposed to protect us from disease haven’t done the best job this time around. For one thing, agencies including the CDC and the WHO have managed to completely obscure the fact that COVID is airborne. If they were doing their job, they’d be calling for schools and restaurants to improve ventilation and install HEPA filters.

            Take care, and best wishes for staying healthy.

        When you start from faulty premises, your conclusion is faulty.
        Apparently ES believes that the covid virus replicates exponentially unless the person dies.
        That is wrong.
        Apparently ES believes that the “vaccine” confers better immunity that recovering from the virus naturally.
        That is wrong.
        Apparently ES believes that most people with the virus end up in the hospital.
        That is wrong.
        Apparently ES believes that the virus will continue infecting people forever even though half of the country has already recovered from it, and more everyday are recovering, leading to a country full of immune people.
        Apparently ES thinks that he gets to choose risk vs benefits for other people, and he gets to consent for them.
        That is wrong.
        He thinks that his interpretation of the data makes him informed.
        He is wrong.
        He doesn’t realize that humans have inalienable rights, including the right to choose their own medical care, which includes the right to reject any given treatment.
        Why should such an ignorant person be allowed to make my medical decisions?
        In a country that adhered to the rule of law, he wouldn’t be allowed. Unfortunately this country no longer adheres to the rule of law.

        • Eppur Simuove December 19, 2021 at 10:52 pm #

          One errant click and this comment nearly went completely sideways. Let’s try this again.

          Paula D: When you start from faulty premises, your conclusion is faulty.

          This also happens when you systematically distort someone else’s words. Or go around attacking straw men because of a basic failure of reading comprehension.

          Paula D: Apparently ES believes that the covid virus replicates exponentially unless the person dies. That is wrong.

          I want to respond with a withering explanation of the concept of exponential growth, but you’re just a blithering idiot.

          Paula D: Apparently ES believes that the “vaccine” confers better immunity that recovering from the virus naturally. That is wrong.

          Straw man. I have never said so. I have said, slowly and distinctly so slow minds can comprehend, that (a) letting yourself get sick to prove how strong you are is monumentally stupid and (b) vaccines are a preferable alternative. A guy who ‘recovers naturally’ from letting his hand sizzle on a hot stovetop probably appreciates why that’s a bad idea much better than a guy who didn’t.

          Paula D: Apparently ES believes that most people with the virus end up in the hospital. That is wrong.

          Straw man. If the virus multiplies out of control, enough people end up in the hospital that they run out of beds, ventilators, and other important resources. This is not rocket science.

          Paula D: Apparently ES believes that the virus will continue infecting people forever even though half of the country has already recovered from it, and more everyday are recovering, leading to a country full of immune people.

          I do believe that, because viruses mutate and natural selection is real. Somehow people understand the concept of selection pressure when it favours their point of view (as in when viruses develop vaccine resistance), but pretend not to understand it when it doesn’t (the rest of the time). Inconveniently, I have to believe in it all the time. I envy you, living in your own world is just so much easier.

          Paula D: Apparently ES thinks that he gets to choose risk vs benefits for other people…

          I get to have opinions, and say them out loud. Opinions and assholes, everyone’s got ’em.

          Paula D: … and he gets to consent for them.

          I can’t consent for you any more than I can flap my arms and fly to the moon. I have no authority, I’m just some rando with an opinion. Which happens to be well-informed, especially in present company.

          Paula D: He thinks that his interpretation of the data makes him informed.

          And I’ll go on thinking so unless or until you up your game by quite a bit.

          Paula D: He doesn’t realize that humans have inalienable rights, including the right to choose their own medical care, which includes the right to reject any given treatment.

          I understand all three things perfectly. I have never, and will never, advocate enforced vaccination. I will and do, however, support the right of myself and others to be protected against the consequences of such ill-advised decisions, for reasons I have made plain.

          Paula D: Why should such an ignorant person be allowed to make my medical decisions?

          To repeat, I’m not making your medical decision. I’m running my mouth.

          Paula D: In a country that adhered to the rule of law, he wouldn’t be allowed.

          Now this is cute. My right to run my mouth is the very first of the inalienable rights you’ve claimed I don’t understand, and you have neatly inverted the meaning of ‘rule of law’ by claiming it should be used to silence my speech. I will continue to exercise that freedom regardless of your opinion or your permission.

          • Paula D December 20, 2021 at 4:49 pm #

            I say “Why should such an ignorant person be allowed to make my medical decisions? In a country that adhered to the rule of law, he wouldn’t be allowed”.
            ES interjects a sentence between my two sentences and then pretends that my second sentence is talking about his interjected sentence.
            And that is a beautiful example of how he do.

    “Glaciers, Gender & Science, a Feminist Glaciology Framework for Global Environmental Change Research”

    “Glaciers are key icons of climate change and global environmental change. However, the relationships among gender, science, & glaciers, particularly related to epistemological questions about the production of glaciological knowledge remain understudied. This paper thus proposes a feminist glaciology framework with four key components: 1. knowledge producers 2. gendered science & knowledge 3. systems of scientific domination & 4. alternative representations of glaciers merging feminist post-colonial science studies & feminist political ecology, the feminist glaciology framework generates robust analysis of gender, power, & epistemiologies in dynamic social ecological systems, thereby leading to more just & equitable science & human / ice interactions.”

    This is how our knowledge is being rapidly expanded today among our rapidly expanding knowledge producers.

    I’m hunkered down in Alabama. I quit trying to argue with people around 1970 when it was obvious nothing was going to turn the ship off this course. The financial system has lasted a little longer than I thought it would due to the (mostly illegal) machinations and manipulations since ’08, but it is still on course for a crack-up.

    The Constitution has been reduced to a fig leaf, the urban population is totally dependent on the wheels of finance turning, while there is yet a lot of ruin left in the nation, but there is nothing to be done about it other than try to survive while trying to pass along a few lessons learned.

            draupnir, in the tragic event Her Majesty does leave us and ascend to the angels, I would like to humbly offer the following “helpful hints” as to what respectful condolence might be written in Her Majesty’s Book of Remembrances, based on text from that of the Queen Mummy I mean Mother:

            Among the messages left on The Queen Mum’s Board of Remembrance:

            ”She was a marvelous woman and a wonderful lover.” (L.J. Worthington, Penrith)

            ”Once again, the Queen is not upset enough for my liking. The woman should have a bit more compassion. How would she feel if it was her mother?” (W. Waugh, Richmond)

            “I have been unable to masturbate for five days, and will not do so again until her majesty is buried.”
            (E. Gorman, Derbyshire)

            ”When Diana died, I swore I would never smile again, but eventually I did. Now the Queen Mum has gone. I cannot imagine that I will ever smile for the rest of my life, but I will probably break that one, too.”
            (A. Christie, Hendon)

            “She was one of the old school. All the remaining royals are shit.” (J. Clement, Grantham)

            “I thought she would never die. She has let us all down very badly.” (D. Holmes, Somerset)

            “She was a trooper and she never gave up. I remember one time she was visiting a school and I asked her if she would like to make a visit to the cloakroom before she left. ‘No’ she replied, ‘I didn’t give in to the Nazis and I won’t give in to the bladder’. That’s how she was, a fighter who refused to be beaten by anything. She pissed herself later though, it was sickening.” (B. Forrester, North Yorkshire)

            ”I am absolutely devastated, at least we could have got the day off.” (S. Wilson, Bristol)

            “How refreshing to be able to mourn the death of a member of the Royal family without being accused of being homosexual.” (J. Fletcher, High Wycombe)

            “Her death should act as a warning to others who think it is cool to experiment with drugs.” (E. Franks, Cheshire)

            “On behalf on all blacks, I send the sincerest condolences.” (T. Watson, Ilford)

            “I am sure the Queen Mum will not let this setback put an end to her public duties.” (N. Wallace, Swansea)

            ”I hold Princess Margaret in no small way responsible for this terrible event.” (E. Thompson, West Lothian)

            “We must do all we can, send blankets, food parcels, jumpers, anything to help these brave souls who are queuing up to walk past her coffin.” (R. Thompson, Bath)

            “Whichever way you look at it, it just is not as exciting as Diana.” (G. Williams, West Midlands)

            “She was one of us, and by that I don’t mean she perpetrated insurance fraud or lied about expense claims. She was like us in a good way. God bless you ma’am.” (L. Weller, Harlow)

            “If only I could get my hands on that fish bone right now, you heartless bastard!” (J. Hedges, Cowdenbeath)

            “She had such a difficult life, always battling against adversity and misfortune. Let us hope that if there is a next time round she is given a life of privilege and comfort.” (T.D. Wainwright, Hastings)

            “Perhaps if we automated her old golf buggy it could still drive around The Mall on its own and bring pleasure to the tourists.” (Y. Howell, Slough)

          • draupnir December 19, 2021 at 6:06 am #

            Thank you Speedy, that was lovely. I’d consider sending my condolences when the time comes, but Charles and Diana never sent me a thank you card for the toaster I sent them for their wedding.

I will admit, my lifestyle would change considerably (if I lived) without medicare and Social Security ( 2 surgeries for me, one for my wife this year), but that’s not enough to get me to vote for the bastards.

          My wife was notified that her next colonoscopy is for seven years out, not five. We’ll be lucky if medicare survives the next seven years. I don’t proctosticate on these matters but is this the beginning of the Tribulation? Time will tell.

          • draupnir December 18, 2021 at 9:45 pm #

            I believe the US is the only country where colonoscopies are performed as a screening test. I believe it is actually recommended solely to increase the income of gastroenterologists. I was a hospital medical transcriptionist for some years at a healthcare conglomerate, and not a week went by that I didn’t see someone come into one of the emergency rooms with a rupture following screening colonoscopy, and I was only one of many transcriptionists. They are not without risk.

            Anytime you’re having a procedure done, ask the surgeon how many times they’ve done the procedure, & how often it went wrong. This is important. You have the option of walking out at the last moment. & you should if you don’t get the right answer.

          • GreenAlba December 19, 2021 at 8:58 am #

            I walked out once in that situation, Tate.

            My younger daughter was born with a haemangioma at the tip of her nose (it’s a collection of extra, unnecessary blood vessels) and when she was a baby/toddler, people thought she must be cold because the tip of her nose was blue-ish – it was actually worse when she was warm!

            You can’t operate too soon, because you’d end up having to do it again, to give the older child a more adult-looking nose, so the surgeon decided to do it when she was eight.

            We went along to the appointment to find that the surgeon/consultant we’d been seeing every 2 years was off sick or something, and his underling was quite open about not being entirely confident he’d make as good a job of it as his boss, so it was up to me.

            You don’t want a weird nose stuck on your face for the rest of your life, so we politely scarpered and came back when the Big Man returned.

          • Tate December 19, 2021 at 3:15 pm #

            I’ve walked away a few times, but not at the last moment. Yet.

            My brother had a knee replacement back in October. He had to search high & low for a qualified surgeon. He decided to have it done in Seattle so I drove there to help with his recovery — took me six days Interstate highway travel. It went off without a hitch.

            He had a previous bad experience with an orthopedic surgeon so you can’t be too careful.

            =========

            Here’s how that would play out, Tate. The surgeon would respond “I’ve done this procedure 563 times and it went wrong 16 times and you know the funny thing? every one of those times it went wrong the patient was a person who asked the same question you just asked.”

    JHK:

    The question is: will the people of this land submit to continued coercion and to the engineered demolition of their lives? So far, we have not rolled over like the pathetically servile Europeans and Australians.

    I can’t speak for our European cousins, but I can’t see where Australians have rolled over in pathetic servility. Aussies love their freedoms as much as anyone else, but also understand that a pandemic of a potentially serious respiratory disease is real – and that a strong sense of personal and social responsibility is required.

    Australia has a case rate of 9,362 per mill, and a death rate of 82 per mill. Florida (about 80% of the same population) has a case rate of 175,901 per mill, and a death rate of 2,896 per mill.

    Australia’s success has not been without a great deal of economic pain in lockdowns – but overall almost everyone has got behind government efforts to fight the virus. Lockdowns are over (we hope forever) – wearing masks and using QR-Code entry don’t stop you doing things – in fact they allow more venues to be open as normal.

    I’m certainly not in thrall of the vaccine and had it semi-reluctantly, as much the lesser of two evils – but my biggest complaint is the very short period of efficacy. With my vaccine (UK’s AstraZeneca) its effectiveness against catching symptomatic Delta-Omicron drops to zero just four months after a second dose. Pretty pathetic – even if its capacity to prevent genuinely severe cases remains fairly good.

    I can’t agree with the universal vaccination of people under say twenty – the epidemiological case for it is not being convincingly made.

    There’s a string of elections over the next year or so – but I don’t think sitting governments will be punished for their handling of the pandemic. And in most cases, the oppositions in each jurisdiction would have done things pretty much the same.

    Where do I stand? I hope Omicron dominates and is a far milder variant, and this trend continues. I’m due a booster around 22 February – we’ll see how the world is working then.

            Exactly.

            TINA? Bullshit. So what IS the alternative? Look at the simple facts. And they are simple. Few younger people get vey sick or die. The ones that do get seriously sick or die from COVID are mostly the old ie over 60, or people with sicknesses like diabetes or cancer.

            So, given those simple facts and the simple fact that vaccines barely slow the spread, do not keep shutting down the economy. And stop this compulsory vaccination baloney. Tell people that are susceptible to stay inside and away from other people. Give older folk or those most at risk a vaccine if they want it as it might mitigate the severity of symptoms.

            And let everyone else get on with their lives. And let individual docs use their own professional judgment as to what treatment to prescribe. The family practitioner out in the sticks might have the clearer take on things.

            We all know that all this plus ivermectin gets in the way of profit-making for tech and drug companies and Amazon. Boo fucking hoo for them.

          • ianw December 17, 2021 at 9:21 pm #

            And let everyone else get on with their lives.

            This was tried in lots of places and it failed … health facilities were overwhelmed – hence the strategies of lockdowns, and then essentially universal vaccination roll-out.

            It’s all very well to rail against the steps that were taken, but elected officials are always testing the wind – they know they can be crucified just as much if they do too little as for doing too much.

            Boris has got it hopelessly wrong more than once. Some US state governors have botched it badly as well.

            The problem with highly selective targeted) vaccination but letting everyone else “catch it” is that lots of the unvaccinated get ill and chew up health resources and taxpayers’ money – and lead to border closures – and all that pisses people off too.

            Part of me is ambivalent about the “war-footing” approach taken, but highly suspicious of the degree to which Big Pharma super-profits have occurred. If it were me I would have commandeered Pfizer and all the rest, as in war-time.

            But them most of the people on here would have screamed about socialist over-reach and here come the Commies! People want their capitalism, but want it be behave fairly for the benefit of the people … but you can’t have both.

            I still believe Ivermectin is a crock – not enough good studies.

            Cases, hospitalisations, and deaths may well have been far higher without the lockdowns, social-distancing, and widespread vaccination. I think that’s almost certain.

          • MaryQueen December 17, 2021 at 9:50 pm #

            No, Ian, that wasn’t tried. In March 2020, everything was shut down, and of all things, schools shouldn’t have been, according to all epidemiologists with any sense whatsoever.

            Every choice that has been made by the PTB is wrong.

            In any case, there is no pandemic. There is a flu season. Same as always.

            If you insist on being a paranoid, please do stay home and stew in your anxiety with your crisp chardonnay. No one cares.

            Meanwhile, there are many (most) areas of the US where life has gone on as usual since summer 2020. And their death rates are no higher for it.

            The U.S. main stream media continues to hide, mislead and distort information fed to the public regarding COVID, Ivermectin and many other aspects of this disease.

            We could have a long discussion about this – and I agree that the blocking of alternative views has in some cases been over-bearing and unnecessary.

            But it cuts both ways – there has been an immense amount of BS and paranoid conspiracy jive from the “other side” as well. No-one has a monopoly of The Truth.

            But I can’t accept what some on here take as gospel – that the Covid-19 pandemic is a hoax, that the vaccines are deliberate weapons, and it’s all being deployed to control people in ways that some higher powers deep in their DC bunkers, or high up in their Swiss chalets, seek.

            This is all a paranoid bridge too far.

            The way Big Pharma has made a huge fortune is disgusting, but I’ve said this in various ways frequently. The jury remains out on the various antivirals and alternative treatments, to my mind.

            Even if you disregard ivermectin and assume covid was banished in Uttar Pradesh by the judicious sprinkling of fairy dust, it most certainly wasn’t achieved by social distancing (have you been to Uttar Pradesh?), and widespread vaccinations, since they are only 20% vaxxed.

            Perhaps it’s high time to put this safely to bed:

            Dr. Nick Mark, who works with critical care and pulmonary patients at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, has examined claims that ivermectin has had dramatic success in Uttar Pradesh.

            “This is not even remotely the case,” he said during a lecture with other doctors on Oct. 15. While there are claims that the state began using ivermectin in May 2021, during the height of India’s COVID-19 crisis, the government actually said it began giving the drug in August 2020.

            “Not only did it not hasten the end of that alpha wave, but it didn’t prevent the delta wave,” Mark said.

            Mark cited research where scientists looked at data for all deaths in India, and found that certain populous districts in Uttar Pradesh had no reported deaths at all for several months.

            “So either you have to believe that ivermectin prevents you from dying of everything — car crashes, cancer, homicide, suicide — or, that the data is just garbage and you can’t interpret it,” he said.

            “[21-10-2021] A COVID-19 lockdown in the Australian city of Melbourne — officially the world’s most locked down city — will end Thursday. Restrictions on leaving home will be lifted and a nighttime curfew will be scrapped because the state of Victoria has met its double dose vaccination target of 70%.

            Since the pandemic began, the city of 5 million people has had six lockdowns. In total, it has spent more than 260 days under some of Australia’s toughest COVID-19 restrictions. It recently passed Buenos Aires in Argentina as the world’s most locked-down city.

            But pubs, cafes and hairdressers will reopen when the lockdown ends just before midnight Thursday.

            The new freedoms, however, apply only to the fully vaccinated.

            Oops. Forked tongue. Like I said, if you decide to forgo that booster (which, seriously speaking, you just can’t, can you?) you might still get a freebie in the street.

    The Bilderberg group is an organization of political leaders and international financiers that meets secretly every spring to make global policy. There are about 110 regulars – Rockefellers, Rothschilds, bankers, heads of international corporations and high government officials from Europe and North America. Each year, a few new people are invited and, if found useful, they return to future meetings. If not, they are discarded. Decisions reached at these secret meetings affect every American and much of the world.

            Their lowly minions write to me. I just got another reminder (black band top and bottom of the letter – very funereal looking) reminding me that I was ‘at risk’ and hadn’t come for my booster yet.

            It’s signed by the head of NHS Lothian and I’ve found an address, so I’m thinking of replying anonymously and telling her I’ll consider it when I’ve seen her on TV debating with someone like Dr McCullough or Dr Malone.

    They telegraph everything. And the sheep bleat on. ”

    Your link didn’t fill in any details.

    But then I guess it isn’t really necessary.

    I can guess.

    I can guess that there has not , and will not , be any such observation like ;

    If tap – dancing on glass is so dangerous , then maybe you shouldn’t tap – dance on glass ?

    To put that another way , if computers are so vulnerable , and the financial system so vital to our safety ,

    Then maybe the financial system shouldn’t be computerized ?

    Impractical ?

    Watch a movie about White Collar types , circa 1972.

    Nary a computer in sight. Somehow the lights stayed on though , and the bank got theirs somehow.

    And 1972 was not 800 years ago , though the younger folks here might have a hard time believing that ?

    I’m reminded a lot these days about an anecdote concerning the Roman Emperor Vespasian .

    Some guy had invented a better crane. With this better crane you could build coliseums and such cheaper , with half the work force.

    Vespasian passed on the innovation.

    The whole reason we have these public works projects in the first place is to give people jobs and a way to pay the grocery bill , and this crane is going to eliminate all those jobs and all those ways to pay the grocery bill.

    I doubt I’ll hear , ” Hail Caesar ! ” from a crane.

    But the unemployed might come for my ass.

    Maybe Vespasian wasn’t stupid , backward , and narrow – horizoned , after all ?

    Or maybe he was ?

    If he was ,

    ” …And the sheep bleat on. ”

    Realistically , what else could they do ?

    Progress is God , and they are expendable.

      Similarly, we were told while on tour of the Mayan ruins of Koba (near Tulum) that their PTB knew of the wheel but that they kept that technology from the workers constructing that ancient stone town in order to maintain the status quo.

      We cannot de-computerize now. at least not gracefully.

      1972 had cutting edge technology for its day. Banking has always ran on cutting edge technology. You can’t take a 50-year step backwards without a shit-ton of disruption.

      Like our Global Economy or our Just-In-Time Delivery Systems, cutting edge becomes infrastructure on which we then build yet more cutting edge. Our Economy today is so computer-dependent that small retail stores simply shutter if the network is down.

      I remember studying a short story in 1974 where, in the future, a man (sorry, it did not predict wokeness) “discovered” that he could multiply numbers using pen-and-paper rather than the standard calculator. Even then, in Grade 4, his ostracization for such intellectual pursuits rang True.

        Never read the story , but I’m guessing I get the gist.

        And so see the humor.

        Ayn Rand once wrote a story , ” Anthem ” I think it was called , very similar , but the other way around.

        A guy lives in a future society where the equivalent of Newton or Euclid is the 30 – member committee that invented the candle.

        He re – invents the light bulb.

        The result is he winds up having to go into exile.

            I didn’t leave it out because of ignorance or indeed error … I assumed the reader would infer that the UK started the sport, because they colonised the others listed, and field hockey was exported to them.

            In fact almost all the top field-hockey nations are also top cricket ones – with the big exception of Germany.

            The British are actually pretty smart – almost all the sports they’re very good at you get to sit down (sailing, rowing, cycling, equestrian, polo, horse-racing, motor-racing, etc), or they are more-or-less genteel (cricket, lawn bowls, squash, tennis, golf, etc).

    One thing seems clear now and it is that “America’s ruling class” now includes public-health bureaucrats. I draw your attention to a recent political cartoon which adds “CDC” in along with many others among “America’s ruling class” in the early 2020s. See here:

    Official Catechism of the Catholic Church. The section on Hell:

    IV. HELL

    1033 We cannot be united with God unless we freely choose to love him. But we cannot love God if we sin gravely against him, against our neighbor or against ourselves: “He who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.”612 Our Lord warns us that we shall be separated from him if we fail to meet the serious needs of the poor and the little ones who are his brethren.613 To die in mortal sin without repenting and accepting God’s merciful love means remaining separated from him for ever by our own free choice. This state of definitive self-exclusion from communion with God and the blessed is called “hell.”

    1034 Jesus often speaks of “Gehenna” of “the unquenchable fire” reserved for those who to the end of their lives refuse to believe and be converted, where both soul and body can be lost.614 Jesus solemnly proclaims that he “will send his angels, and they will gather . . . all evil doers, and throw them into the furnace of fire,”615 and that he will pronounce the condemnation: “Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire!”616

    1035 The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, “eternal fire.”617 The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God, in whom alone man can possess the life and happiness for which he was created and for which he longs.

    1036 The affirmations of Sacred Scripture and the teachings of the Church on the subject of hell are a call to the responsibility incumbent upon man to make use of his freedom in view of his eternal destiny. They are at the same time an urgent call to conversion: “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”618

    Since we know neither the day nor the hour, we should follow the advice of the Lord and watch constantly so that, when the single course of our earthly life is completed, we may merit to enter with him into the marriage feast and be numbered among the blessed, and not, like the wicked and slothful servants, be ordered to depart into the eternal fire, into the outer darkness where “men will weep and gnash their teeth.”619

    1037 God predestines no one to go to hell;620 for this, a willful turning away from God (a mortal sin) is necessary, and persistence in it until the end. In the Eucharistic liturgy and in the daily prayers of her faithful, the Church implores the mercy of God, who does not want “any to perish, but all to come to repentance”:621

    Father, accept this offering
    from your whole family.
    Grant us your peace in this life,
    save us from final damnation,
    and count us among those you have chosen.622

      “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”

        So now you know. Now we are the same: We both go to Church despite not being in complete accord with the Teaching. So why do I continue to go? Because they are the Keepers of the Sacraments, instituted by Christ, which confer grace, a share of God’s life. And of course, the Teaching contain part of the Mind of Christ – but obviously not all of it.

        • anmariwakaranai December 18, 2021 at 10:29 am #

          “The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God.”

          Excepting the above, if you want to split semantic hairs, my reading of the catechism you posted is that the FIRE of hell is eternal, not necessarily the burning peeps.

          And of course the fire is eternal, for we are required to shed our pride eternally in this world without end.

    • Jarek December 18, 2021 at 12:54 am #

      “Those you have chosen” – so you DO believe in predestination? But if asked they will deny it because the Reform sects made such a big deal about it. Just like the Protestants won’t have anything to do with Mary because the Catholics love her.

      They did believe in Predestination. As the Old Testament says, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

      Now add this gem to the one about eternal hell and you wonder why people get turned off? In other words, God created people for Hell.

      I reject this one too. No doubt my band of brothers and sisters here will do likewise.

      • anmariwakaranai December 18, 2021 at 10:41 am #

        I don’t know if Protestants fully get that the Virgin Mary IS the Ark, the church, and our final recourse, Now.

        But they will, and fast. Hawk, not saying any of us are in any wise better, clearly that’s false.

        So, our ship will be anchored between two pillars, the eucharistic host, which is to say the body and blood of Christ, and the rosary, the prayer of the mother of Jesus, now in her final waiting, yet to ride the donkey to the stable in Bethlehem, led by our Joseph, silent protector of our Lord and Lady.

        The Catholic church is going to be purified. Brace for what comes. It will die and be reborn, like us. But the important thing to remember is to be humble enough not to be fooled by the monster in the wings, next to sit on the throne of St Peter.

        You could use some time in a nunnery under a strict mother superior. In the mean time, no more square triangles! No more believing in Buddhists who worship Christ. If they did, they’d be Christians not Buddhists. If a triangle was square, it would be a square not a triangle. Logic is deeper than words.

        “The son of a barren woman” is a perfectly good phrase, but its one without a referent. What it speaks of doesn’t exist in other words.

          I do not worship Buddhists Jar, but they certainly understand monkey mind and limits of the ego. Q, I originally thought the busyness of the rosary was to keep our hands, (body), mind, (soul), so busy with outward forms and actions that it allowed our inner self, (spirit), to be in the presence of the Godhead without having a heart attack or something. Now I’m not so sure. Now I think it might be a way of fine tuning us to the reality of God, outside of time.

          https://youtu.be/4o8mGHN9t10 ex nihilo, out of nothing.

          In the final picture Jar, I see Buddhists being Christian, after the Warning, understanding there IS a God, and teaching and emphasizing the egoicide aspect.
          Again, not to be confused with the Antichrists rainbow wokey coalition!

          • Jarek December 18, 2021 at 10:10 pm #

            You think I think you worship Buddhists? Where did that come from?

            Ok, you think Buddhists will become Christians after the Great Warning. Well that at least makes sense as in no internal contradiction.

            The Church believes that people go to hell forever, at least officially. Unofficially, most of the Novus Ordo Bishops probably don’t believe in either heaven or hell, and some not even in God. In any case, the question is what Christ taught about the nature of hell.

    The panoply of fool’s errands that our soi disant betters inflicted on the US and western civilization in general have been enough to tempt asteroids out of their orbits. But no worries, the sudden impact of an astronomical body won’t be needed to accomplish what mere men can do themselves.

    Consider the utter lunacy of gain of function research for one. Consider the months of lies denying that any such thing took place. Follow the Science sez The Science. Makes me laugh. Consider the consequences of this ‘science’ which we’re now living through.

    Consider the sexual and behavioral absurdities emanating from the hallowed halls of the West’s universities. I read about ‘transitioning’ kids. And I think to myself, seriously? Does this really happen? Are the best and the brightest of our psychiatric and medical fields really on board with this? Do they really think this is a good idea? Does nobody have any common sense anymore? Because to a hick like me, it is on the face of it, nuts, and IMO, people pushing this stuff on confused youngsters at best need their own heads examined because they themselves are mightily confused, you know, about what constitutes efficacious treatment. I must have read a dozen times that people who go through surgery and hormone treatments, are at the end of it, no better off than before and quite often worse off. So why do doctors perform these procedures? And maybe this is an unworthy thought, but I wonder about the role of money in all this.
    But who are we to question? You heard that joke, how is God different from a doctor? Answer; God doesn’t think he’s a doctor. But maybe the medical profession needs some adult supervision.

    Yes, I’m a conspiracy theorist, especially when the conspirators lay out their plots and arrangements for all to see. Consider what’s happening over yonder in China. Over there Xi has been pushing the agenda of more money for Chinese workers. He said so in public. Imagine that, he’s forwarding a notion that goes directly counter to our own Big Thinkers thinking, which for decades has been about less money for American workers.

    What would be the consequences for China? Hmmm, maybe less reliance on western consumers, who are much diminished in financial means anyway and who are laboring under millstones of debt. Just think of it, Chinese buying Chinese-made products instead of loading them onto container ships.

    So just wait for Xi or his successor to start start squeezing America’s balls. Why should they ship semiconductors when domestic Chinese consumers have the money to buy all of them? There’s many other critical products produced in China. What if they stopped shipping because they have all the sales they need right there at home.

    I look at Xi as an old fashioned Mafioso, when he suggests that somethin get done, he means right fucking now. Not maybe, not later.

    What a prosperous Chinese workforce portends for the future is one that should pre-occupy our Thinking Class. But I know they’re not thinking about this. They’re not thinking at all. They stopped doing that a long time ago.

      With regard to your thoughts on the trans agenda, you are spot on. Yes, there are billions to be made on the industry, otherwise it would not be so powerful and have taken over every business and institution in the country. Jennifer Bilek is an amazing voice on this. She did her research: https://thefederalist.com/2018/02/20/rich-white-men-institutionalizing-transgender-ideology/

      Written nearly 4 years ago, and still probably one of the best overviews.

      Much like covid19, the trans agenda’s goal is $$$ for big pharma in the form of patients for life.

      And yes, those that do survive the transing and detransition are usually worse off than before they transed. Some with lifetime debilitation.

    Here is an article about what NO mentioned upthread.

    World Economic Forum simulates global cyberattack that could bring about “Great Reset”

     The World Economic Forum (WEF) is now predicting a global cyberattack that shares many characteristics with the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). Klaus Schwab, founder and executive director of the WEF, called this crisis scenario a “Great Reset.”

    “The frightening scenario of a comprehensive cyberattack could bring a complete halt to the power supply, transportation, hospital services, our society as a whole,” said Schwab. “The COVID-19 crisis would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison to a major cyberattack.”

    I don’t enjoy being “a downer” but when people indicate that TPTB have made mistakes and that the tide is turning and that there will be Justice, I remain steadfast and True to Realism.

    That is, TPTB know what they are doing. They are not winging anything. This is all planned. This is all gamed.

            Jar & Ian,

            None if that applied to me and my situation.

            Purchased for $275k in 1998, the house and land was forced sold (due to a crooked Judge in crooked Ontario Family Law) for $800k in 2016 and would list for $1.3mm today.

            I had the Best of both Worlds. I was remote and rural while telecommuting into my Toronto job. The days that I had to be in the city were long (2-hour commute each way) but I typically only went in to TO 1 or 2 days per week.

            I Wish that I had been afforded my Right to buy the other half of my $800k mortgage-free house in ’16 but was, instead, extorted of my life’s work.

        • TaxDonkey December 18, 2021 at 1:15 am #

          I get it. I thought the collapse was coming a long time ago and it never came. All that about the Fed and get out of the stock market and peak oil was a lot of hot air coming out of my ass. One of the first things I watched and took too seriously when I discovered alternative media was Gerald Celente’s bullshit forecast about “the great crash of 2010”. John Williams predicted hyperinflation in 2014. Every silver guy predicted triple digit prices by now. I can’t think of anybody that predicted the volume of QE. I knew the gov was corrupt but didn’t know it would go full retard.

          I did find great writers along the way though, like JHK, JMG, Orlov and others and I still subscribe to The Long Emergency kind of thought.

          • ianw December 18, 2021 at 2:04 am #

            I did find great writers along the way though, like JHK, JMG, Orlov and others and I still subscribe to The Long Emergency kind of thought.

            So do I … eventually.

            But every prediction of total doom & gloom has always been over-stated. Things happen, but very very rarely within the lifetimes – or even the century – of those who forecast them.

            If I were young I would follow the JHK recipe – and get myself to a decent, healthy, self-sustaining community, and try to establish a recession-proof life.

            I hold the same view about Global Warming – it’s certainly happening, but not next Thursday week. My major concern is there is absolutely no alternative to fossil fuels, so living arrangements will need to change downwards.

            Solar, wind, batteries, and hydrogen – all ridiculous and hopelessly inadequate.

          • O.G. Hawkins December 18, 2021 at 3:30 am #

            I also missed that QE Infinity could “paper over” the Crash of ’08 for 13 years.

            Of course, in hindsight, the crash of ’08 was corporate debt and they had one more level to go. They “printed” their way out of that mess.

            The next crash will be government debt and “the buck stops here.”

          @ ianw:

          It’s good to be judicious about prepping, as with anything else. The people I know who might be called “preppers” are just people who have positioned themselves to where they own small (or sometimes large) acreages and produce a lot of their own food. In most cases, the husband has a full-time job and the wife runs the farm. Some of the ladies are able to generate a pretty decent income by selling farm products or running other types of home businesses. Some have mortgages and some don’t. Some have wood stoves and some don’t–but all are well able to afford such an installation if they needed to. All have pantries groaning with canned goods and freezers full of meats of all kinds. They have chickens, pigs, cattle, and goats. Some have bee hives. All have fruit and nut trees.

          To a man (or woman), they’ll tell you that they love their lives. This is a fulfilling lifestyle in the present. No one is waiting for the zombie apocalypse to make them happy–though they are all about as well situated as possible if everything starts to go to entropy.

          • ianw December 18, 2021 at 11:40 pm #

            To a man (or woman), they’ll tell you that they love their lives.

            Sure – and indeed there are thousands of “tree-changers” (some quite normal, some hippies and alternative life-stylers) who have forsaken the material careerism of cities, and are well on their way to rural self-sufficiency.

            There are some limited parts of east-central Australia where the climate and soil are perfect for all this. Some go totally off the grid, while others maintain a more conservative approach, and still rely on energy and other services.

            Farmers markets are hugely popular n many favoured areas.

            All that’s fine … and if I were 30-40 again I could be tempted, although it looks like a lot of hard physical labour.

            I’m talking about the fervid types (one or two on here) who make regular exhortations to others to get out and get armed, and that it’s all going to come crashing down … those who have done it because they believe in the zombie apocalypse, and pretty soon too. It can be cultish.

      These sorts of arm-waving statements are never back by any evidence – they are grist to the mill, big re-affirmative mantras to calm the faithful and credulous, to get the heads nodding.

    Everything Mr K mentioned about doctorhood, I think could also be directed towards scientists. I know a lot of them and have been amazed at how they’ve mostly all drunk the Kool-Aid even though they should know better. It’s not hard to see this is really a transfection reagent with some lipstick rather than an actual vaccine. I kept waiting for prominent virologists and immunologists to call bullshit on all this but most never did. I don’t want to belittle the contributions of heroes like McCullough and others, but there should be thousands more.

    Kids called out in front of the class for not being vaccinated. One teenage girl, ostracized by her vaccinated friends: I know it’s bad but I don’t care. I just want my life back.

    ” What do you see then Kess? ”

    — Anmari

    I used to raise chickens , so we will start there.

    If you don’t have the heart for butchery , Hens still lay eggs which you can eat.

    Roosters , unfortunately , do not lay eggs.

    If you do have the heart for butchery , the flesh of Hens is generally more tender and more flavorful.

    The flesh of Roosters is generally just fine as long as you have a meat grinder and grind it up and use it in things like Chicken Salad , or mixed in with other ground up meat like with Hot Dogs.

    In that case , absolute quality of meat isn’t really any sort of factor.

    ( In my eccentric case , that would actually make Rooster flesh the preferred option , because two of my admittedly more bizarre eccentricities are an absolute hatred of laced shoes and shoe laces , and an utter disgust of meat that is not ground up. )

    Lastly there is the issue of making more Chickens , and here again the Rooster is shit out of luck.

    You really don’t need 15 Roosters for 15 Hens.

    It’s a pretty good bet you won’t be receiving any petitions from the Hens , or the Roosters either , entitled ,

    ” We demand monogamy !! ”

    One Rooster , typically , can adequately keep 15 , 20 , maybe even 30 Hens fertilized.

    There is one thing in Which Roosters would take precedence ;

    The business / sport of Cock – Fighting.

    But , wouldn’t you know it , HUMANS fuck that up.

    Roosters will naturally fight each other , and it can be very interesting and absorbing to watch. And the match can take as long as an hour.

    There are drawbacks ;

    Typically when a Rooster is getting his ass kicked he will sensibly finally run away.

    Worse , some Roosters are even more sensible , or natural pussies , and apparently conclude ;

    ” Why should I risk getting my eyeballs pecked out , that’s stupid , when I can just sneak around later and fuck the Hens anyway without all this fighting shit ? ”

    So they will scarcely fight at all.

    Humans are satisfied with none of this.

    Humans will intentionally breed Roosters for what we might call extreme ADHD , with maybe some torture thrown in for incentive ,

    And strap RAZOR BLADES to the Roosters talons.

    It’s like a very grizzly Slasher film except the slaughter is real.

    That’s if you have ever wondered why Cock – fighting is illegal , even though Roosters , as I said , naturally fight anyway.

    Anyway , moving on —

    When our Rooster gets his head chopped off , and is thrown in the meat grinder ,

    while the hens remain fat , happy , and alive ,

    we might hypothetically posit that the Rooster might ask ,

    ” What the Hell did I especially do , or not do , to deserve my especially bad lot ?

    Am I less intrinsically good than the Hens ? ”

    Sorry , Mr. Rooster , but this all has everything to do with human economics , and human priorities.

    It HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU , THE INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN.

    Another example from nature —

    A predator has to go out and proactively get a meal or die , and that has all the appearance of aggression , even if the fact is the predator would be just as happy to sit on his ass and play the whore with a heart of gold , like the ingenious dog predator has learned to do.

    With Herbivores , generally , their daily bread literally lies all about them , and that has all the appearance of passivity , even when it is anything but.

    For example , the way I hear it , the leading cause of death for humans by animal attack in Africa , the perpetrator is the Hippopotamus.

    I guess Lions and Crocodiles and such look really cool , but Hippos got really nasty tempers even if their meals are easily gotten.

    Now we will move on to humans.

    Unfortunately I’ll avoid the X – rated stuff for the most part. As much as I might like that , some might not.

    We will begin with the Warrior Mystique.

    In this case you might want to Google , ” African Child Soldiers ” yourself.

    I don’t know , you might doubt me , because what I say probably will sound like I’m saying that night is day , and black is white.

    Thankfully there is some number of African Warlords who have been neck – deep in the shit who are happy to tell you frankly what the deal is.

    They will tell you they actually prefer 10 or 12 year old soldiers , to the 18 or 20 year old variety.

    10 or 12 year old soldiers are that less cognizant of their own mortality , and so are incrementally more easily conditioned to fearlessness.

    10 or 12 year old soldiers are incrementally that much more malleable , and that much easier to condition and to indoctrinate , than the 18 or 20 year old variety.

    Most people will tell you — albeit in another rather different context — that no demographic is more resilient than children.

    A 10 or 12 year old will — at least survive — something which might psychologically or emotionally , or even physically , utterly destroy a 20 year old.

    To put that a bit bluntly , WHEN do you suppose would be the best possible TIME to see your whole family slaughtered in front of your eyes ?

    Maybe the SOONER the better ?

    War is pretty darn nasty even under the most civil of conditions.

    What about size ? Your typical ten year old boy stands five feet one inches tall and weighs 80 pounds.

    That perhaps meant something in the days when war meant 40 to 60 lbs of swords , shields , and spears.

    But now it is , ” Pull this trigger thingie , and people die . ”

    It isn’t rocket science , and it isn’t the labors of Hercules either.

    What about girls ?

    They did see limited use over the centuries , but it doesn’t bare examination.

    This will be a bit X – rated.

    Your typical female soldier of the bad old days was a dual role ;

    Killer by day ; prostitute by night.

    And sometimes after the first abortion , but typically after the third or fourth , you were sterile anyway.

    Not very good for a propaganda image.

    For example , in the modern era , the Russian and Eastern European regimes of the Warsaw Pact were Communist , so emancipation and equality and all that.

    So , right from the Bolshevik Revolution on , they hand women soldiers as a commonplace.

    In peace time at least , not emergency conditions , women were restricted to secretarial staff / headquarters staff , Communications , including field communications , and field medics.

    There was an unspoken understanding , women weren’t drafted , except in wartime emergency , so volunteers in peacetime.

    And our volunteer would understand that the really pretty girls would be fucking the brass.

    The average pretty girls would be fucking officers in general.

    And the ugly girls would be fucking the NCO’s.

    Just part of the job.

    Warsaw Pact girls I dare venture tended on average to be prettier than NATO girls.

    And no hostile work environment.

    ( There was an understanding ….

    That reminds me of a favorite line , in a favorite movie , ” Breaker Morant ”

    The attorney asks the witness , ” Was there an order to shoot Boer prisoners ? ”

    The witness pauses a moment , and replies , ” There was an understanding … ” )

    Getting back to our ten year old soldier …….

    well , the sociology of it is really as depressing as the lot of chickens.

    This is one of my very favorite Fleetwood Mac songs ,

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-V8RrL_TJ68

    Obviously , because of the chorus , ” I don’t wanna Know ”

    Men , and no shortage of women either , don’t really want to know the reality of the warrior mystique.

    Rambo is fine.

    Einsatzgruppen they don’t want to know about , unless the other side did it and it serves a propaganda purpose.

    That’s what I see.

    Now that I have picked on the boys , now lets pick on the girls.

    My information is about a decade old , but last I heard Bob Guccione had retired , and his daughter was now running the Penthouse Porn Empire.

    That isn’t novel or unique.

    For example , if you ever saw the movie , ” Memoirs of a Geisha ” , you might have noticed that Geisha Houses were run by women , exclusively.

    EXCEPT when they were entertaining clients , a Geisha house was as near exclusively a feminine world as a convent.

    And it was hardly a rare exception in the West either.

    Getting back to Geisha Houses , institutionally and as a matter of course , the managers of Geisha Houses were not rich girls with ponies who breezed in from the Country Club and got busy exploiting the proletariat.

    No , the managers of Geisha Houses were girls sent off to the Geisha House at age 6 or 8 and had been raised in the tradition themselves.

    So at least if you are being exploited it as by someone who has been there and done that themself.

    On the other hand , I suppose most drug dealers use their own product , they aren’t Nuns.

    Moving on ,

    Cleopatra was no Angel. At one time or another she killed off most of her own family to secure her rule.

    They say that behind every great man there is a great woman. I suppose behind every conqueror there must be a female sociopath , because Alexander of Macedon certainly had one.

    His mother Olympia pretty much killed anyone that got in her sons way.

    Back in the 1980’s when the science was saying that serial killers were exclusively male , they somehow overlooked 17th Century Elizabeth Bathory whose claimed victim count was 600.

    And her victims were exclusively female.

    She could have killed men just as well . She was probably the second most powerful aristocrat in Hungary .

    So males are bigger I doubt would have counted for anything.

    The greatest period of Russian military expansion was not under the Soviets , it was under Catharine the Great.

    In our own time we had Margaret Thatcher , who I always thought made Reagan look like a pussy in comparison.

    And Hilary Clinton , and for once I think I’ll achieve popularity in this crowd at least when I call her a Witch.

    Except I wouldn’t spell it with a ” W ” .

    And these days women can become fuck you lawyers and judges ,

    fuck you bankers , fuck you police ,fuck you process servers , fuck you journalists , and head hunting soldiers too.

    Call me stupid , but I don’t see a kinder , gentler world yet.

    Once upon a time , Little House on the Prairie not withstanding , 90% of school teachers were male.

    Now we have fuck you female teachers.

    A ” Me Too ” movement going a bit off the rails has already occurred before.

    There was a brief time there when pretty much every week there was a new report of a new school teacher who was found to be fucking the boys.

    But then I suppose we can’t have folks getting the idea that the secular crowd is as bad as the religious crowd ,

    or that paid professionals are no more reliable than volunteer Boy Scouts ,

    or that women , who still have a monopoly on the nursery for the foreseeable future , might be……..

    Well , that sorta went quiet.

    When cell phone cameras hit main street and even into the hands of teenagers , there was a spat of videos of girls beating the shit out of girls in the locker room.

    And that went quiet , at least maybe until things get boring briefly.

    And then it will be novel again briefly.

    Speaking of Fleetwood Mac , I was once a huge Stevie Nicks fan.

    Like , I would buy any record where she makes an appearance , play the record until it literally wears out , and then go buy another one . And that was my entire record collection ;

    Stevie Nicks songs in the process of being worn out.

    I guess I still am a big fan.

    She both looks and sounds like a cross between a Care Bear and a Princess.

    I noticed one day , though , that while nine out of ten of her songs are love songs , she is in her 70’s now and never married.

    And the rumor is that it is just as well , because she had one too many abortions.

    True or not , it certainly is true that the Fleetwood Mac Rumours album includes a dedication to their cocaine supplier.
    You can buy the album , and still see it printed there.

    Like the warrior mystique , and the lot of chickens , nobody really wants to go there .

      Why do chickens lay infertile eggs? Do other birds do this? Is that something selected for by man?

      Wow Kessa, that’s a print. I can’t even remember my original question, but who needs to with what you have provided.

      NEVER get between a rhino and his watering hole, or cub if it’s a her. I hope you were a rhino with your nephews school or school teacher. If he’s anything like his auntie, nothin’s gonna put him down.

      I remember visiting my moms sister living in not much more than a tar paper shack in northern Alberta, one summer. She started the wood stove burning, went out into the garden, grabbed a hen by its neck, flipped it upside down till it passed out, took an axe and chopped off its head. With awe I watched the beheaded bird run around the garden, a great plume of blood spraying everywhere. Best fried chicken I ever had!

      And yes, child soldiers are the best. I heard in Africa many are kept high on something. I don’t really think they get over it. I met one at a dance, lived through some terrible African war as a kid. He was bat shit crazy. Thankfully I was a fast runner, then. Warrior mystique? Bs, there might a code, a some martyrs, the rest is hollywood round table stuff. Guild type stuff if you like. Masons and the church does that sing the body fantastic stuff too,… just wishful thinking for the most part I think. Waxing poetic on the beauty of an organization,… hey, I do that! Sorry off track….

        NASA recently announced a $2,000,000,000 project to develop a space suit that would sustain human life on the moon surface with its wild temperature swings of, like, 200^F in the sunshine and -200^F in the dark.

        $2 Billion when I saw, with my own eyes, existing moon suits in glass cases at Cape Canaveral that already did the job!

        • BackRowHeckler December 18, 2021 at 8:40 am #

          We had a neighbor when I was a kid who spent his career as an engineer up at Hamilton Standard working on the Space Suit project for NASA. He lived in a modest raised ranch house, and for years drove an old Dodge Dart.

    Citations would be helpful. Are spike proteins really “now observed to linger in organs and blood vessels as long as fifteen months after the shot”? What is the reply to those who dispute that there is any evidence of this?

      VERDICT

      False. Experts say the tiny level of spike protein measured in the bloodstream of vaccinated people does not cause toxicity; rather, they show the vaccine is getting to work. The studies Bridle cited as proof of toxicity do not support his claims.

      This article was produced by the Reuters Fact Check team.

      What a relief! Thanks for sharing.

      • Epicur December 18, 2021 at 3:39 pm #

        One of the commenters here raised the point a few month ago that it would make a difference whether or not the needle hits a small vein as opposed to embedding in muscle.

        He made the point that whoever administers a vaccine is supposed to aspirate, or draw back on the “plunger” to check that blood does not come back before injecting the vaccine. This is not often done according to my observations.

        It seems logical to me that this would make a lot of difference as to where the spike proteins travel.

        • Not_GeorgeT December 18, 2021 at 4:48 pm #

          I recall it, and it does make a difference. Into a blood vessel is quick absorption (goes everywhere). IM (Intramuscular) is a lot slower (stays in the same spot for a while).

          The technique so often seen is suck technique. Perhaps it is a further example of the dumbing down of the general population.

          Attention to detail is an important life skill.

    The Covids testing questions:

    We heard a long time ago that TPTB admitted that PCR testing was bogus … but they were going to keep using it until Dec. 31 anywho.

    1) Are they still planning to discontinue using PCR testing in less than 2 weeks?

    2) If so, replaced by what?

    3) If not, do we get an explanation for this seemingly (or obviously) corrupt bullshit?

    4) Rapid tests are considered less reliable than PCR tests. Less reliable than bogus! And they can’t ship the millions of them fast enough! WTF?

    5) Who makes these Rapid tests being dhipped by the millions? Canada alone has 30,000,000 going coast to coast.

    I have a different feeling about the omicron moment. Conveniently enough the CDC says there will be 15,600 covid deaths every week through the new year and 1.3 million new cases by Christmas day. More hyperbole and theater? Or. Maybe cover? Omicron, according to them, is mostly if not exclusively occurring among the “vaccinated”. The most heavily jabbed and boosted areas are crawling with covid they say. With for example so many young, “vaccinated” athletes dropping like flies and cardiologists setting up shop in elementary schools, etc., it seems like a good time for them to have a variant to blame. The new variant and the purebloods will be used to explain away soon upcoming massive tsunamies of “covid” deaths”? The “vaccine” is the pandemic

    • O.G. Hawkins December 18, 2021 at 5:41 am #

      I’m wondering why it’s not obvious to everyone that the variants are cover – completely fabricated – to cover up vaccine injury?

      Even the stats show it.

      The injuries and deaths began when the jabbing did.

      • JohnAZ December 18, 2021 at 12:57 pm #

        Vaccine injury = evolution of the variants?

      • SoftStarLight December 18, 2021 at 2:21 pm #

        A lot of people are either not knowledgeable and so just go along or they believe the mainstream narrative. I think the reason they threw J&J under the bus is to give themselves the appearance of transparency. They and puppets and mouthpieces can say see a few people died and were injured and we are recognizing it and doing something about it but overall safe and effective.

      • ianw December 18, 2021 at 4:44 pm #

        I’m wondering why it’s not obvious to everyone that the variants are cover – completely fabricated – to cover up vaccine injury?

        Because it is obviously ludicrous conspiracy voodoo – viruses mutate regularly, and in this pandemic they have a truly vast Petri dish within which to do so.

        There is far more authoritative work that argues that mutations will arise via the unvaccinated.

      The vaxx is the pandemic?

      What about all the cases, hospitalizations, and deaths that occurred in 2020, BEFORE the vaxx existed? Where did they come from?

      I will agree that avoidance of the vaxx by the organism is what is creating the variants, evolution at its best. I note that the variants started when the vaxx started. Alpha ran the show in 2020.

      Wonder, in hindsight, what would have happened if the vaxx never happened and variants may not have been developed, would alpha have just burned through and that was it? No further surges?

      Omicron, according to them, is mostly if not exclusively occurring among the “vaccinated”. The most heavily jabbed and boosted areas are crawling with covid they say.

      There is a lot of information showing that the red states have the lowest vaccination rates, and the highest incidence of Covid-19 cases, and have for a consistently long time.

      If Omicron can readily bypass vaccination-immunity (far from proven) then the distribution might well change, but I don’t think the vaccinated will ever be more liable to infection than the unvaccinated.

    Fired up the oil steam boiler this AM. Just to make sure it’ll work again. It’s gonna be in the teens this week. The boiler is 105 years old. It was originally coal with a screw drive hopper. Converted to an oil gun who knows when. It’s American Iron,cast in my home town by the H.B.Smith foundry at Westfield, MA. . I can switch it back to coal pretty easily. I hear the USA has hundreds of years worth of coal. Yes, I do have a coal shovel.

        During the ceremony without a hint of irony in his voice the gov began talking about the various state programs for people who cannot afford their heating and utility bills this winter. The ass kissing local media never pointed the absurdity of the whole exercise; instead, just read a press release from the DEP office and presenting it as news.

    • JohnAZ December 18, 2021 at 12:47 pm #

      Coal was eliminated in the early 20th century because it caused so much noxious pollution that cities became uninhabitable, it was killing people.

      Look up Donora, PA, or Pittsburgh in early 1900s as examples.

      Look at the cities of China right now.

      I cannot figure why, if the Germans figured out how to mark liquid fuel from coal to power the end of the Wehrmacht, we cannot figure out how to burn coal with little pollution. Run power plants with clean coal and sequester the exhaust, the CO2 and H2O that remains at each plant. Same with natural gas plants.

        I agree totally – the very smart people who argue that the “clean energy revolution” is hopelessly flawed also argue that 90% of energy R&D should be going towards improving old reliable energy systems (coal, oil, gas) – and not going to make solar panels, wind turbines, and big batteries say 5%-10% better.

        The saving in GHG emissions would be far higher.

        And all these new technologies are already close to their physical limits – there are no ten-fold gains to be made, as they have been in computing and communications.

    This evil is growing stronger and more pervasive, and in ever more blatant ways. It’s quite clearly gaining by the day. Even its biggest “blunders” are soon overlooked, if not entirely forgotten.

    We — all of us, and especially those with little to lose except our so-called freedom — must stand up and be counted right now. Can’t you see how dangerously close they are? The longer we dither, the harder it will be to defeat the evil inherent in their expert-led, no-alternative fucking system.

    As for taxes, the only reason they’re still important to the borg is to legitimize the US dollar as the world reserve currency. I’m not worried about it at all, in the ethical sense. Are you? Or are you just trying to avoid the bother?

      I don’t know how to not pay taxes, that was why I asked. Every place I have worked for the past 8 years removes taxes from our paychecks and has made direct deposit mandatory. I now see where that heads, but how can one avoid it? Are there laws? If so, next job I get I will try to work around it. I am just info gathering.

      I also have been an advocate for going out in a blaze of glory if it comes to that. And it might. I don’t have a fire arm, but if things get to that point I will be holing up with a friend who does, and also has 3 years’ worth of food (to my 6 months).

      • JohnAZ December 18, 2021 at 12:24 pm #

        Ask what will happen if you do not pay taxes before accepting it as a form of rebellion. The IRS has the ability to strip you of your salary, your bank accounts, your house, all your assets to involuntarily pay your tax bill.

        The government has over the years given itself the “right” to control us financially. Your w4, w2, and many forms of the 1099 serve notice to them of every income you get during the year.

          Going cash only – provided you can even do that anymore – won’t save you either. In fact, that will trigger an audit quicker than anything else you can do. No receipts or paperwork? No problem. They’ll assess your assets annually looking for changes, compute a bill, and send you one anyway, with surcharges for their trouble tacked on, of course. They have their own administrative code of law, so any trial or subsequent appeal is heard by an IRS judge based on that code. Good luck with that! Needless to say, they never lose any case they bring.

          Better to do like the rich fucks and hire a tax lawyer if you have that much to hide and exploit loopholes. Or just go off the grid altogether and keep no assets that could possibly be taxed, although they’d probably try to anyway if you pissed them off. You really can’t win with the bastards.

          Best option? Be poor (not hard these days), pay your minimum dues, and then grumble about it along with everyone else.

            Pretty close to my life. I quit the rat race many years ago. Haven’t filed in over a decade.

            Of course they know shit about me and my income/finances, such as they are, but I truly don’t care. There are virtually zero options available to me other than blatantly saying fuck you to the IRS. By ignoring them all this time, that’s what I’ve done. Works for me.

        Isn’t it true that Americans fought a bloody war more than a couple centuries ago to throw off shackles and gain independence? Wasn’t there a slogan (one among many) that asserted “no taxation without representation?”

        So, yes, of course there are laws, but are they just laws?

        “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

          Taxation without representation is exactly what the central banks are doing with inflation. They use their free money to buy up all the assets and dump the debt & liabilities on sovereign governments. You lose your purchasing power and they hope eventually all your property. You’ll be happy.

      Test a hypothesis here.

      It makes no difference where taxes come from, or if any are paid at all. UBI will be paid to every individual according to their need by just running the presses. No taxes needed, just run the presses and dole out the cash. Everyone basically becomes an employee of the Federal government. Everyone is satisfied with there share.

      Sound familiar, Like Karl Marx familiar?

        BTW, note that this is exactly where the Progressive party, led by Bernie, wants to take us. Also, UBI idea started in the High Tech community as the answer of what to do when AI and robotics eliminated all those jobs. No wonder all the high tech folks want Communism.

        You’re only allowed to pay taxes with US dollars. Otherwise, if you could pay using other currency, the dollar’s reserve status evaporates. I think the reason they don’t pursue me is that it’s not worth the effort (not enough $$), small potatoes, and soon they’ll switch to CBDC anyway. My social credit score will be in the toilet, but I just don’t care.

        With CBDC and UBI there’s no need for taxes anymore. When it comes, my tax “problem” will vanish.

          I’m jumping back in with a short stroll down the memory path.

          A few years ago (not very many, no need to remove shoes and socks to count, fingers will do) a certain segment of the population arriving to these shores (and riverbanks) by devious routes obtained EINs and began running up large deductibles (on paper) for which they received the largesse of the (ahem) treasury of the people to the tune of a few billion FRN$ (that’s “B” )and those billions apparently were distributed nicely among the participants. The 3-letter agency-in-charge was essentially powerless to trace it by its own admission.

          The question is, does anyone

          A) recall this?

          B) recall how it was accomplished?

          I just went through a trial with the IRS for $30.
          They sent me a bill for $30 due on the day that I received it.
          I tried to call the number supplied and I went through multiple voice mail prompts before they told me they were busy, call back tomorrow and hung up on me.
          So I wrote the check and drove to the mail box so it would be postmarked that day.
          Then I received another bill for $31 along with a threat that they were instituting proceeding to confiscate my property.
          I tried to call again and again they hung up.
          Finally after 2 hours on hold I got a human, who demanded every number and name on the notice. This was not an easy demand to follow.
          Anyway, after I complied with her fucking ridiculous demands, (I know damn well that one number would have gotten her the info), she put me on hold again and then came back to say they had actually received my check, so my case was closed.
          And then she said “Is there anything else I can help you with today?”
          By the way, she had an accent. I guess she was doing the jobs Americans won’t do. (Except they will. It was just another “Fuck you citizen”)

  80. Slugoon December 18, 2021 at 9:53 am #

    Some official data out of the UK for anybody that is interested. All taken from Public Health England’s COVID-19 vaccine surveillance report (week 38).
    https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1019992/Vaccine_surveillance_report_-_week_38.pdf

    First off, here is the percentage of the population double-dosed:

    18-29 – 52%
    30-39 – 61%
    40-49 – 75%
    50-59 – 85%
    60-69 – 90%
    70-79 – 93%
    Over 80 – 93%

    The number of 30-49 year-olds that have been vaxxed is lower than I thought. There is hope!

    What’s really of interest though are the tables on pages 13-16. Now, before ianw and his ilk get on my case, the data appears to suggest that vaccination is reducing hospitalisations and deaths, so please don’t accuse me of cherry picking.

    For example, for my age group, 40-49, 25% of the population are unvaccinated but they account for 57% of hospitalisations and 62% of deaths.

    HOWEVER, PLEASE NOTE: the report explicitly states that COVID-19 is not necessarily on the death certificate. They died of something and happened to have tested for it, like they will test everybody who walks through the hospital doors. I imagine this could skew the figures quite significantly but we don’t know one way or the other because they aren’t tracking the difference.

    But let’s put this in context. In this three-week reporting period, 104 people aged 40-49 died ‘with’ COVID within 28 days of a positive test. 40 were vaccinated, 64 were unvaccinated. There are 8,395,510 people in this age group. We’re talking about 0.001% of the population, of which almost half of those were vaccinated. And we’re still calling this a ‘pandemic’ and saying it’s the fault of the unvaccinated? And are our hospitals actually overrun with this deluge? Of course not.

    Even more interesting is the case rate. Again, for my age group, 75% are vaccinated yet they account for 86% of cases. For 30-39 year-olds, 61% of them are vaccinated but they account for 71% of cases. For 18-29 year-olds, 52% of them are vaccinated but they account for 67% of cases.

    This data blows the whole vaccine passport idea out of the water, along with any notion that unvaccinated people are prolonging the pandemic. It is most likely that mass vaccination is prolonging it due to the selection pressure creating variants. Variants though, which we can see are no worse than a common cold.

    So my already tiny risk of Covid illness could be made slightly smaller by taking a vaccine but I have no idea of its long-term affects and I’m not protecting anybody else by taking it either.

    So FJB, FAF and FBJ.

          It’s one thing for somebody on here to present it one way but quite another when a national government deliberately presents a false picture to support a narrative and mislead an entire population.

          What are your thoughts on vaccinated youngsters being disproportionately responsible for cases? Vaccines evidently do nothing to stop spread of flu. Vaccine passports are therefore a political tool and nothing to do with health.

    • JohnAZ December 18, 2021 at 12:16 pm #

      I have felt that the high percentages of vaxxed folks getting infected is due to them losing their caution, their common sense about viral avoidance, they think they are immune.

      Now bring in the FACT that antibody immunity degrades rapidly in the vaxx community and the combination certainly points to a health threat for the vaxxed.

      Avoidance measures are still needed, not masks, just avoiding situations that allow close contact between people of unknown Covid status.

      Like dancing at a wedding comprised of people from many different places.

      Like visiting MD offices or ERs.

      It’s a case of “They’re just making that up!’ or of “go figure…”

      “What about the Omicron variant?

      The preliminary data about Omicron and vaccines is coming in quickly and is revealing lower vaccine effectiveness. Best estimates suggest vaccines are around 30-40 per cent effective at preventing infections and 70 per cent effective at preventing severe disease.”

      • Slugoon December 19, 2021 at 4:59 am #

        Who is getting it? Everybody is getting it. All ages. There are disproportionately more cases amongst the vaccinated that unvaccinated. Not that any of it matters anyway because it’s a relatively harmless flu, the kind we’ve had every year of my existence.

        Estimates of 30-40% efficacy are about right. That’s the efficacy of the yearly flu injections that at one time were ‘optional for the elderly’ but are now becoming ‘mandatory for the young’. All without any idea of the long term effects of mRNA that has never succeeded beyond animal trials in three decades. Utterly bonkers!

    The share of people testing positive in New York City doubled in three days this week, and one of the mayor’s top health experts says it’s an indication of omicron evading immunity in a way no other variant had before.

    Who on God’s green earth is buying this bullshit?

      Maybe it’s just semantics, but I disagree. We are pretty much all inherently wired to take such a stance when we’re being robbed. Ours is a rogue central government. The trick is to wire us to believe otherwise.

      We are obligate social mammals and as such, we are most definitely wired for fairness. So, what the fuck are we waiting for?!?

        I have noticed a very reluctant acknowledgement from them regarding Covid as real facts are finally starting to show up to support most of what has been hypothesized about the virus and it’s baby brother, the vaxx.

      […] one of the mayor’s top health experts says it’s an indication of omicron evading immunity in a way no other variant had before.

      Your recurrent paranoia is showing. Sounds like exactly what you would expect to here from a senior health official, and it’s appropriate.

      They’re saying that the virulence and transmissibility of this variant (and note we do not have proof yet that it is much milder than Delta) is such that being fully vaccinated, or having natural immunity through a previous case, is not sufficient protection.

      You need to get the booster, avoid crowds, and maintain social distancing protocols – this thing will spread, among everyone.

      Where is the problem? It’s why they’re senior health officials, and not keyboard warriors with tinfoil in their red hats.

        @Ian:

        The Covids testing questions for you:

        We heard a long time ago that TPTB admitted that PCR testing was bogus … but they were going to keep using it until Dec. 31 anywho.

        1) Are they still planning to discontinue using PCR testing in less than 2 weeks?

        2) If so, replaced by what?

        3) If not, do we get an explanation for this seemingly (or obviously) corrupt bullshit?

        4) Rapid tests are considered less reliable than PCR tests. Less reliable than bogus! And they can’t ship the millions of them fast enough! WTF?

        5) Who makes these Rapid tests being shipped by the millions? FYI – Canada alone has 30,000,000 going coast to coast.

          I did a lateral flow test an age ago – maybe a year ago, can’t even remember. It was because my husband was given a pile of them from work and told to do one twice a week, spouse as well.

      Omicron does not evade immunity, that is BS.

      However, if it has mutated, “learned” how to infect faster and easier, it may be getting out faster, but it is milder by all indications. Hopefully, the transformation of Covid to a cold status.

Mom is 77, triple vaxxed, and in the hospital for the past two weeks with the Vid.Touch and go for a few days. Me , walking around with no mask, I wash my hands when they have grease/dirt/shit on them. Eat food dropped on the floor to my wife’s horror. Pick my nose with dirty fingers.

      My lad went to an outdoor nursery from two years old. Rain or shine he’d come home covered in dirt. He’s never ill. Maybe one minor cold each year.

      Humans and our ancestors lived out in the wild for millions of years. Our immune systems developed accordingly. I think modern day humans forget this and believe a sterile medicated environment is the only thing that will prevent them from getting ill.

        Gordonstoun for Mancunian pre-schoolers?

    • JohnAZ December 18, 2021 at 11:38 am #

      You make a good point.

      1000 immune systems,kids, 500 exposed to a “normal” degree of “dirt”, ie, outside, camping, picking noses, not washing hands frequently, playing in the dirt etc., we know for a fact these kids have a minimum problem with allergies, allergic kids have histories of being protected from dirt by overprotective parents, 500 indoor kids will have allergies. Native immunities are also genetic, built into every WBC you possess, perfect example of a heredity/environment situation.

      Two good examples of native immunity is what happened when Europeans “invaded” the western hemisphere, smallpox killed many more natives than bullets, and what happened in Hawaii when the first Missionaries showed up with measles which decimated the natives.

      The advent of Covid was another example, a very mild example as long as you were under 80.

      The why is documented, healthy immune systems need exposure to “dirt” antigens, millions of them to build its “library” of “I have seen you before” sense of self versus foreign. No programming, the alarm bells go off too often, allergies.

      Remember Pigpen on Peanuts, he was probably the healthiest of the kids.

      You probably have had a myriad of colds, flus etc in your earlier life that have educated all your immune cells to have resistance to new bugs. You have a solid memory system in your immune system.

      You visit somewhere else or move. Uh oh, new bugs. Not only that, fly somewhere in the past, the air plenums never used to have the hepa filtration they have now. They were a Petri dish.

      I know I have always fought a cold/flu when traveling in the past. The last really bad one, three weeks was three years ago after getting chilled visiting Skagway, Alaska. BTW, getting chilled suppresses the immune system, thus colds onsets. Not getting cold, getting chilled, thus changing body temperature, shivery, chilled.

      That is why cruise ships spread viruses, not just Covid, so easily, they are a closed environment, a Petri dish with a germ/virus history in them from all over the place.

      So, keep picking food off the floor, and picking your nose, you are doing something right.

      • BackRowHeckler December 18, 2021 at 12:23 pm #

        Yeah, I’ve always wondered why so many people get sick on Cruise Ships, sometimes thousands of passengers and the entire crew. Aboard a Navy Destroyer, 300 guys underway weeks at a time, nobody ever got sick except a little seasick the first few days.

        • JohnAZ December 18, 2021 at 1:25 pm #

          I was a tin can sailor, DE 1078.

          Going on a cruise, colds and flus boarded the ship, we’re dealt with and disappeared in 10 days. The rest of the cruise was cold free, until hitting port, then a small surge with each one.

    • MaryQueen December 18, 2021 at 12:32 pm #

      My mom taught us early not to be germophobes. And so, I’m not. I used to sit out in the yard and eat clover as a kid.

      I also eat dirt. It comes from gardening and harvesting and not really being all that concerned how well-washed my veggies and fruit are. I also have never had hand sanitizer in my house ever, won’t use it anywhere, and think an occasional washing of the hands after being out and about is not a bad idea. But I gotta go with you and George Carlin on this one: We’re meant to be around all the cooties.

      This idea that humans are a clean plate meant to stay sterilized from germs is insane. We’re made up of trillions of bacteria, viruses, germs etc. We are the polar opposite of a clean slate.

      I haven’t had a cold in probably 15 years and no flu in 26.

          The place where we went sledding was on a trajectory to the river, too. Some people ended up in it. That was how we rolled back in the 1960s and 1970s before “EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE MADE SAFE” went into bonkers overdrive.

          I see a big surge in this mindset after 9/11. So we’ve been conditioned into mommy and daddy government keeping us safe, for 20 years.

          In the James Lindsay interview posted above, he talks about the justice/safety balance. The more the safety goes up, the more the freedom goes down.

      We will have to have a Constitutional Convention eventually. To bypass Congress, a new representative assembly will have to be formed to represent local interests. Each county would send a delegate, all 3000 some odd of them. Their rep would be drawn from a pool of about 30-40 electors within each county choosing one of their own on a rotating basis. Eligibility would include being over 35 years of age, stable marriage with children born to the mother, proven record of signing a paycheck for at least five years. This would eliminate 95% of the bullshit.

      The categorical imperative (German: kategorischer Imperativ) is the central philosophical concept in the deontological moral philosophy of Immanuel Kant. Introduced in Kant’s 1785 Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, it is a way of evaluating motivations for action. It is best known in its original formulation: “Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law.”

    China, Russia, SWIFT, de-dollarization, etc.

    Sure, there’s cause for concern here. And to think that China still makes most of our medicines.

    But even if Russia-China trade is less dependent on the dollar, I believe it will be limited to a narrow range of transactions like military supplies and energy resources.

    When the Euro was adopted, dollar-based trade slumped but came back fairly soon. This even after the ECB was trying to promote the Euro as a reserve currency.

    Over 60% of central banks’ reserve currencies are in the dollar.

    Last but not least, think about Putin and Xi and how Putin might view wearing the yoke of the great Yellow Peril’s yang.

      Thing is, it’s the US’ own sanctions that’s forcing them out. De-dollarization is inevitable in the long run anyway due to government fiscal policy and the FED. It makes no sense to trade in a currency that’s gradually becoming worthless, and the military is increasingly unable to use force to prop it up either. Like any terminal cancer patient, we’re being hollowed out from within by our own* people.

        I think it’s more MMT than anything else. Yes, certainly the globalists.

        That’s right, sanctions are a big factor behind their motivation. They own much more gold than we do, and I believe that the Chinese people trust their government more than we do ours, they have a great savings rate, so at least these things are a good start towards any plans for currency domination.

        The yuan is now a reserve currency, but its growth in central bank holdings has been slow, about 1% in five years.

        China now has the Evergrande problem, and it also prints a lot of money, so I’m not sure of their currency’s stability.

    “ A society based upon human rights has no rights. Those who think human rights are expendable in emergencies are correct. They are expendable “whenever.”

    What they fail to grasp is that inalienable rights can never be extinguished. Throughout this book the consistent, unspoken theme is the disregard for our inalienable rights. Not just among those who intentionally ignore them but also among a population who appear to have forgotten what they are and why, without them, we have nothing. Inalienable right are not permits bestowed upon us by government.

    They are universal concepts of natural justice inherent to Natural or God’s law. They exist in nature, not on pieces of paper. They are immutable and inalienable and can be perceived by every emotional being, including humans.”

      Inalienable right are not permits bestowed upon us by government.

      With whom are you arguing? I think most rational people agree that there are natural laws | inalienable basic rights.

      The strength of the US Bill of Rights is not as a list of rights you have, but rather a list of powers that governments do not have, or leaving it to the Congress within tight limits. Much easier to write it this way – in the negative.

      Rather than saying, “You may paint your house white, gray, blue, etc – it says the government shall make no laws in relation to the color of your house, except as Congress may from time deem necessary …”. Clever.

      For that reason I think it’s totally unconstitutional for states and courts to take away the right of a woman to have an abortion – to me it’s a natural or inalienable right. Same with same-sex marriage, contraception, and a whole list of other “human rights” that busy-bodies want to have a law about.

      To my mind, the two biggest dramas with the US Constitution are (1) some of the language is not that clear, and (2) it’s extremely hard to amend it over time as the world changes. So people tie themselves into pretzels “re-interpreting” it for a modern world- including the unelected rabble in the black gowns.

        It used to be that a precondition for a diagnosis that a person had a disease is that the patient had to have the relevant symptoms. Not any more. Now, the doctors can potentially print money in a new system in which they get to identify who is “Sick” and who is not, without regard to Reality (symptoms)?

While in prison, they tried to get Cosby to confess in exchange for parole, but Cosby told them to “Fuck Off”. Cosby is a great American. Flawed, yes, but still worthy of respect….

    “ Kevin Steele, the prosecutor who put legendary actor and comedian Bill Cosby, 84, in jail in 2018, has filed an appeal to the United States Supreme Court to reinstate Cosby’s conviction.
    Cosby was released on June 30 after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that former prosecutor Bruce Castor’s decision not to prosecute in 2005 should have prevented Cosby from being charged in 2015.

    “Unwilling to accept its epic loss in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, the Montgomery County District Attorney has now filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari to the United States Supreme Court. In short, the Montgomery County D.A. asks the United States Supreme Court to throw the Constitution out the window, as it did, to satisfy the #metoo mob,” Cosby’s spokesman Andrew Wyatt said in reaction on November 29.”

      Noam Chomsky speaks the TRUTH regarding the obscene concentration of wealth and power among the Globalist-Oligarch-Eugenicists, their descendants, and their purchased sycophants, and the reduction of democracy to the image of a boot stomping on the face of humanity.

      The TRUE debate, within the old republics, is what corrective actions are necessary, to limit the influence of the Globalist-Oligarch-Eugenicists, their descendants, and their purchased sycophants, while Commoners may enjoy life abundantly, elevated to the highest levels of human consciousness?

      The blood-sporting Globalist-Oligarch-Eugenicists and their purchased sycophants, enjoy “Requiem For the Masses”, by deploying a vast array of means and methods to provide the “non-essentials” with “mainly compassionate” early involuntary retirement.

      In the NEW Republic, KNOWLEDGE pays the best dividends, with wealth as the ability to fully experience life, at the highest levels of human consciousness, within localities that are dedicated to BUILDING and sustaining the local means of regenerative food, energy, and water production, in service to the locality AND community, with local philanthropy elevating those in need, and teaching of the same.

      I had to chuckle at the mention of General Electric, an organization that was at its peak, during the filming. GE is a perfect case study in placing the pursuit of greed and power above the pursuit of producing products domestically with a well-compensated labor force. The organization is a shell of company, in the midst of divestiture.

      Jeffey Immelt is the BABY BOOMER GE “Executive” who led the greed and power parade, and the subsequent near-destruction of the company, and the CONTRIBUTED GREATLY to the destruction of multitudes of old republic communities, where GE shuttered production, in favor of CHINA and MEXICO.

          That’s a pretty modest set of properties, after a lifetime of work, and hardly “luxurious”. Most people in my neighborhood would be worth about that, or even more.

          And since when are lefties morally bound to be “poor” into their old age? Lefties seek financial security for those not born to wealth, like many politicians are.

            Theft is often hard work. Take burglary, for example. It requires much skill, planning, and physical exertion. Fencing your loot will require business acumen. The risks are considerable; courage is a must. Yet few people would agree that their hard work makes them deserving of their gains.

            I recommend you read even ONE book by David Cay Johnson. Among his best works is “Free Lunch” which describes how those with money (generally far from “left”) manage to grift off your (yes, YOUR) tax dollars.

            His most recent work, “The Big Lie”, does a pretty good job of summarizing the filthy shitty tricks of Trump and his co hort of Swamp Critters.

            I didn’t say he worked hard, I said he worked solidly – probably since he left high school. Bush and Trump didn’t have to work at all, and it shows, as it does for all the leisure class.

            And having been up-close and personal with a few elected politicians in my time, they do absolutely work very long hours – often doing mind-numbing and repetitive chores. I couldn’t stand it.

            Anyway – three modest houses not worth even close to one Trump NYC apartment or a Bush Kennebunkport beach-house … hardly a luxury lifestyle, it seems to me.

    They insist the serous adverse reactions to the “Vaccines” are “Very Rare”. Well, one thing that isn’t rare among even the people to take the Jab is Fear of adverse reactions.

      It’s part of the allure, don’t ya think? We Americans have been conditioned by lifetimes of marketing to like shiny new toys and features, so the enterprising Covid marketers are just following suit, and doing all they can to please their customers.

      But seriously, talk to someone who claims to have had Covid and listen to them try to elicit sympathy from the listener: “It was like I was breathing glass.” “I couldn’t even get out of bed for a week and I’ve never felt right since.” “It was the worst I’ve been sick that I can remember.” Blah, blah, blah, etc.

      The power of suggestion is a bitch!

      Recipe for an “outbreak”: The MSM and the so-called “authorities” plant the idea of specific symptoms out there, waters and fertilizes them carefully with hysterical repetition, then like magic they begin appearing in the population. People desperately WANT TO believe, even if it kills them!

      It smells and tastes like a classic circular argument to me.

      The US Constitution sets our rights, but there is no invocation of God to assert its authority.

      The founding fathers were actually very leery of gods and religions because of the history of wars and mayhem in Europe (and many of them may have been Christian in name only – they were very smart and educated, and understood that laws come from men, not the heavens or sacred texts).

      The First Amendment provides freedom of religion but also freedom from religion. Inalienable rights are also called “natural rights” and derive from fairly obvious philosophical positions that well pre-date the Christian era.

    The California Mafia, led by “pretty boy” Gavin Newsom and Nancy Pelosi, are celebrating Nancy’s recent achievement of exceeding $100 million in net worth!

    While the “sanctuary state” and its “sanctuary cities” suffer record levels of larceny, homicide, drug addiction, and the exiting of businesses and the middle class, the California mafia stands by open borders.

      Be prepared to maneuver away from the rolling waves of calamities.

      It is better to die living in service to the TRUTH, enlightenment, and protection of humanity, one’s immediate loved ones and locality, than to live kneeling AND dying in servitude to the Globalist-Oligarch-Eugenicists (GOE) and their DECEPTIVE fascist purchased sycophants.
      These are the U.S. “percolating variables” AT or EXCEEDED critical point, under the law of self-organized criticality:
      Borders – Unsecured
      Civil Unrest
      Consumer – Credit
      Crime – Urban
      Earthquakes
      Education
      Electric Grid-Eastern
      Electric Grid-Texas
      Electric Grid-Western
      Floods
      Food Availability
      Healthcare System
      Homelessness
      Hurricanes
      Hydrocarbon Transports
      Hydrocarbons – Production
      Inflation
      Interstate Highway System – Urban Centers
      Market – Debt
      Market – Housing
      Market- Credit
      Market- Equity
      Military Rank and File Defection
      Pandemic
      Political Gridlock
      Potable Water – Urban
      Poverty
      Public – Debt
      Public – Emergency Services
      Qualified Labor – Professional Services
      Qualified Labor – Trade
      Student Load – Debt
      Supply Chain – Critical Infrastructure Material
      Supply Chain – Non-Critical Infrastructure Material
      Telecommunications
      Terrorism
      Unvetted Immigration
      War-Civil
      War-Worldwide
      Wastewater Treatment – Urban
      Western Drought
      Western Food Production
      Western Shipping Container Cargo Ports
      Western Water Reservoirs/Reserves
      Western Wildfires
      We remain at DEFCON-1, as when variables exceed critical point, collapse is the result, within that realm.
      The rolling waves of collapse are underway, across multiple realms, and not being disclosed by those employed in the service of public health and safety.
      Here is an effective introduction to the law of self-organized criticality, as it pertains to California wildfires: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S83u_y3ZRYg&t=0s
      The recent cataclysmic destruction produced by the December 11, 2021 multi-state tornado outbreak, is an example of self-organized criticality, in the natural.
      The recent failure of multiple nodes across the Amazon Web Services network is another example of self-organized criticality, and the resultant collapse when critical point is exceeded.
      In the civil-social realm, the GOE’s purchased sycophants, rather than setting public-private policy to reduce the percolation of variables and lower the risk to humanity, have intentionally enacted public-private policies to exacerbate the percolation, with the goal of exceeding critical point, and inducing waves of collapse.
      This allows the GOE’s to “rush in” as saviors of the balance of humanity, with their intended fascist-totalitarian state.
      The MANY are being deceived; the FEW are standing for TRUTH and taking action to protect loved ones from disaster.
      This is what noble MEN and WOMEN do.
      This is what the GOE’s do, through their purchased sycophants: https://theaimn.com/of-eugenicists-oligarchs-and-psychopaths-part-6/

      • got___truth December 19, 2021 at 9:16 am #

        The cited variables are the result of the failure of public-private policies to reduce percolation of variables over an extended period of time, but rather intentionally exacerbate them, pursuant to.accelerating the elimination of human life.

        The “solution” comes down to the individual.

        Does the individual really have the courage to go along with the TRUTH, maneuver away from waves of calamity, and build a life made by their own hands, the sweat of their own brow, and in service to their family, locality and community?

        ALL Time and Energy is BEST spent building out the NEW, not fighting the old.

    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/retired-generals-urge-pentagon-to-take-steps-to-avert-civil-war-after-2024-election

    Long before these “headline grabbing” leaks are published by the press, continuity of government planning has already mobilized resources for “effective” containment:
    1. The interstate loops around metropolitan areas are re-provisioned as “containment partitions”, which is Orwellian speak for prison walls.
    2. Kinetic outbreaks flare across Deep Purple zones, until local munitions are exhausted.
    3. Re-Supply lines to Deep Purple and Blue Zones are severed.
    4. Deep Red Zones sustain private local production servicing Deep Red Zones.
    5. Adversaries led by China and Russia respectively declare embargo’s on critical infrastructure materials AND energy exports to Western Europe and the United States.

    COG: continuity of government.

    The public-private policies placed into execution are fomenting this.

    The Covids testing questions for you:

    We heard a long time ago that TPTB admitted that PCR testing was bogus … but they were going to keep using it until Dec. 31 anywho.

    1) Are they still planning to discontinue using PCR testing in less than 2 weeks?

    2) If so, replaced by what?

    3) If not, do we get an explanation for this seemingly (or obviously) corrupt bullshit?

    4) Rapid tests are considered less reliable than PCR tests. Less reliable than bogus! And they can’t ship the millions of them fast enough! WTF?

    5) Who makes these Rapid tests being shipped by the millions? FYI – Canada alone has 30,000,000 going coast to coast. Sounds profitable, eh?

    Under conditions of extreme hunger, people lose the ability to distinguish between Right and Wrong, and oftentimes, even after the subject obtains food and is no longer starving, the subject does not regain his/her ability to distinguish Right from Wrong. Extreme hunger, therefore, may, in effect, Zombify people?

    Bill Gates is buying up the farmland because he wants to Save-the-Planet….

    “ Inalienable right are not permits bestowed upon us by government. They are universal concepts of natural justice inherent to Natural or God’s law. They exist in nature, not on pieces of paper. They are immutable and inalienable and can be perceived by every emotional being, including humans. No one needs a written law to tell them that it is wrong to harm a defenceless child or commit other acts of violence. We don’t need to be told that it is wrong to take something that is not ours without the permission of the owner. We feel that it is wrong, we experience our wrongdoing as guilt. Inalienable rights are emotionally resonant and, as soon as we are able to experience emotion, we can sense them. We are born capable of emotion. We are born with the ability to understand the difference between right and wrong. We are born with inalienable rights. The few of us who are incapable of making the distinction are suffering from personality disorders. Sociopaths and psychopaths are unable to distinguish between right and wrong because they lack natural human emotional responses. Their egos convince them that they are special and therefore they do not feel the need to observe other’s rights. For them, only that which serves their purpose has value. Inalienable rights are incomprehensible for the psychopath and the sociopath.”

          • O.G. Hawkins December 19, 2021 at 2:54 am #

            Answer the questions, Ian.

            This has nothing to do with me or my machoness.

            TPTB admitted what Karey Mullis (PCR inventor) said: PCR cannot be used for dianosis and cranking its iterations will result in 97%+ false positives.

            TPTB said that, because PCR testing does not actually work, it will stop being used by the end of 2021.

            If PCR testing does not work, how do we know that we even had the millions and millions of asymptomatic “cases”? That makes no sense.

            Never mind me and my hypothetical health in the hypothatical future and my hypothetical take and hypothatical typing at that hypothetical time (in some weird combo of ad hom and red herring) and answer my questions.

            You are the mouthpiece here on CFN for TPTB. Put your money where your mouth is: answer the questions.

            When will someone ask a question that does not contain “TPTB”?

            The answer to all these questions is Capitalism … but none of you will admit it because you’re all deathly scared of being considered a Bolshie or Commie. Got to keep the Trumpy MAGA thing going.

            2) I am not a MAGA Trumpster. I am a Canadian man that never once voted Canadian Right ever.

            3) The CDC both admitted that Karey Mullis, the inventor of PCR testing, was correct (PCR testing cannot be used to diagnose a viral infection) but that they would inexplicably keep using it anyway until December 31! That’s the fact that you keep hiding from.

            4) We are less than 2 weeks away now, “case” counts are breaking 2-year records and total crickets on what will be used to identify “cases” starting January 1, 2022.

            5) Saskatchewan is the World’s pioneer of Socialized medicine (Tommy Douglas) and I am Proud of that.

            See? You don’t answer the important questions. Instead you sling mud in inaccurate ad homs.

            If a person is asymptomatic and positive on a by-all-accounts bogus test, how is that even a “case”?

            My questions aren’t worth answering? You spend more time ad homming me than it would take to simply answer my questions.

            How can an asymptomatic person with a positive on a bogus test be a case?

            yeah, you are right, but the bean counters are satisfied.

            Again and again, the bogus management of this pandemic shows up.

            IF the test was 100% reliable, the asymptomatic cases would have been a huge threat to the population in the past year. A virus that does very little to the vast majority of folks. How many times does someone wake up with a headache, or a raspy throat only to have it go away by evening after a aspirin or two. Asymptomatic Covid? These people do not even test.

            Every one here talks about kids not getting the crud much. True? Or are they just capable of fighting off the virus so quickly, it never progresses beyond the alarm point, ie presymptomatic. Never gets to the point that when they wake up with a sore throat of a mild sniffle, Mom sends them to school anyway. The kid breathes into the face of a older adult and spreads the disease. I have seen this scenario sniffed at too many times here, but the fact remains that kids get the disease, do not show it much and thus can spread it. What can you do about this, treat it like a cold, hold the kid home for a couple of days. In today’s world, that is hard to do in most families.

            BTW. again, little statistical data to come to a conclusion on whether asymptomatic, presymptomatic cases are even transmittable or if they even exist. So the two sides have another issue to debate while nothing gets done. Politics wins again.

          Holy cow. I cannot believe you can believe the tripe you are saying.

          Capitalism gets beaten up on this blog plenty. It has monopolistic traits that produce income inequality and opportunity inequality. Capitalism per industry, per institution must be evaluated for its monopolistic potential and regulated by a benign government to avoid its pitfalls. Anybody seen a government like that recently?

          A good example is the progressive tax code of the mid 1900s. If you made beaucoup de bucks, you paid a higher rate. It makes sense because you use more resources provided by the government. However, the dingdongs got punitive, Deep State, not just adjusting the rate schedules, but punishing the producers that became rich. Just like always. It is a wonder the US ever accomplished what it has with the punitive attitude the DS has always had about its producers. Obama and Biden are the final straw as they try to drive all the companies out of the country with their tax codes.

          No country has ever failed promoting is business base, they fail by curtailing it. Socialism is the bane of humanity, destroying everything in its path, making people into serfs. Regulated capitalism breeds success, in all its peoples.

          You know who knows this? The CCP, and they are killing us with it.

          BUT, it is the ONLY system that accomplishes two things, it promotes entrepeneuership, the drive to advance and it gets dead beat gimmees off their butts to work. Socialism creates dependency and lassitude, things that governments need to control their populations.

          Remember a socialist believes in government making your decisions for you. Covid is a perfect example.

          Do you have to get a vaxx?

          Where can you eat?

          Where can you shop?

          Can kids go to school?

          Etc.

            “Baloney, everything just controlled by a power-hungry government.”

            John,
            Please take a moment and consider a serious rebuttal.

            Is it not possible that the government believes, or understands, that to continue civilization at some level with the press of soon-to-be-nine billion souls on earth, that more control is needed? I am not addressing examples of egregious behavior by whatever government might be cited.

            Same concept with applied socialism.

            Even gun control.

            You don’t like it…I don’t like it, but there may be other examples, less indicting than “power hungry” for the sake of raw power., Someone, somewhere believes that they are saving the world.

        Administering “Vaccines” to old people has traditionally been a fruitless endeavor because old people have weakened immune systems that are unable to produce an immune response, right?

        The Governor of New York scrammed all of the Covid patients into the nursing homes and wiped out all of the old people. Most of the deaths were old people with multiple co-morbidities on their last legs to begin with.

        Do you remember the movie “Soylent Green”?

        • Pucker December 19, 2021 at 4:18 am #

          Since most people taken out by Covid 19 were old people and since Covid 19 was a product of Dr. Fauci funded gain-of-function research in collaboration with Ralph Baric of UNC, Peter Dazak of EcoHealth Alliance and Shi Zhengli in China, we can extrapolate that it’s primarily function was to take out the old people on their last legs, right?

            Covid targets old people?

            The flu took out old people, as it does every year.

            Until there is a test for Covid, or until they have an isolate available, Covid-19 is the stuff of tinfoilers.

          • Pucker December 19, 2021 at 6:34 am #

            Since Covid 19 was engineered to target old people and since the Spike Protein is a patented bioweapon, it’s unlikely that the Vaccines as the Spike Protein delivery vector were intended to save old people. Rather, between the Covid 19 virus and the mandatory Spike Protein Jabs, you probably don’t want to check into an “Assisted Living” facility abattoir.

            Covid does not target old people. It targets everyone. Old people just do not have the immune resources to fight it off that younger folks do. The flu is the same, a virulent flu will clobber the same proportions of the population as Covid has.

            To control any epidemic, avoidance is the key. Avoidance of folks with viruses living in their respiratory tract. Covid Alpha seemed to have a way of getting the immune system to turn on too much with exposure and thus clots formed and lungs filled up with jello. Think about the stimulant for that immune response. What does the immune system react to?

            The S protein coating. Over reaction of the immune system in susceptible folks is caused by the same S protein we are now forcing the body to make with the vaxx. Could it be that the Vaxx causes the same reactions with susceptible folks as the disease, only slightly milder? Is the Vaxx Covid’s little sister? Does injection technique causing direct bloodstream injection aggravate an already precarious situation?

            The nursing home situation is as much a petri dish for viruses as cruise ships, people with trivial personal space. Stack them in and watch them die. Cuomo is the blame game target for a system that is causing major die off in the old folks. He needs to be punished for his ignorance but he is no more stupid than the folks with Biden and Fauci in DC.

        • JohnAZ December 19, 2021 at 9:48 am #

          Yup. Good analysis. It also prompts the question with the medical community and Cuomo, did you do this on purpose or ignorance? I believe they knew exactly what they were doing, reacting to an overcrowding scare that Trump alleviated with a hospital ship that was never used and a emergency hospital that never got close to filling up.

          New York should be used as an example of how not to handle disease.

    This is BS.

    Last year, Antifa rebels against the government. St. George, a total fiasco.

    Next year, thanks to the rantings of a totally ignorant president, the Right side anti vaxxers are going on strike against this worthless government.

    My poly sci professor, a long time ago said that the political spectrum in the USA was a circle, not a horizontal line.

    However, in a power struggle with the government, in 1776 or today, rebellion and replacement seems to be the only thing that gets change accomplished.

    Latest bitch, here goes Joe with his campaign, not because Omicron is going to decimate the population, but because it may not and the Left will lose its power lever.

    Watch new cases with Omicron for trends, it should increase but level off quickly onto a plateau then fall. More important should be hospitalizations and deaths, which should fall off quickly. It is disconcerting to think of the Deep State in DC praying that the variant is just as lethal as Alpha. BTW, looking at the trends, only a few states had as many cases with Delta as last year with Alpha, sounds like digression in intensity to me. Arizona is really weird, 2021 fall looks like a mesa, up and flat, it has been a straight line for three months, 3000 to 3500, day after day, like a throttle has been put on it. No geometric increase at all. No fear!

    Someone in the control room seems to have contrary views to the ones calling the shots because we had an injunction against Biden’s Jab Mandate for large firms be overturned by a fed friendly court- which means the Supremes will have to either endorse something that’s so fundamentally against englightenment values and ‘rule of law’ (which really mean rule by lawyers, donnit?) that I won’t be surprised if Rousseau, Spinoza and Jefferson’s ghosts start haunting the halls of the Capitol in broad daylight.

      It’s interesting that his speech sounds no different than what one might expect today really except for the places/countries of concern and of course covid. If this is how a President talks then the UN owned the US even then. Which I assume is the correct conclusion. But I also can’t help but think this is one of the things that led to his assassination. There is no way the corporate war cartel is ever going to allow for world peace.

        He was intelligent but not intellectual. Ghost writers wrote the book or two he wrote. Easily moved by pop Idealism perhaps – terror of the atomic bomb was used by the Globalists to try and take down Western Civilization in favor of UN.

        I bought a book about his assassination and inside I found one of his debt free “greenbacks”. That’s probably what got him killed. He found about the Federal Reserve scam and underneath all the crap, he was a good man.

        • SoftStarLight December 19, 2021 at 2:33 pm #

      It was the sense of the times, the Globalist movement started after WW2 with the charter to eliminate war. The two BOMBS in Japan scared the hell out of a lot of people. Roosevelt was a prime supporter of the UN.

      The UN was put in to allow nations to air dirty laundry in public to allow peaceful resolution.

      Not to rule the world.

      Now that I think on it, the idea of the UN as the world government eliminating nationalism is about the same as the Deep State eliminating state’s rights.

      Think it might stem from the same group or dogma?

      • Socrates-Detroit December 19, 2021 at 3:58 pm #

        The globalist movement started before that.

        Rome. Ancient China.

        In 1914:

        The sun never sets on the British Empire (metaphorically, GB was in 1914 what the USA was in 2014. Gemany in 1914 was like Japan/China put together in 2014)

        Human nature (aka European stupidity and the egos of the players involved) resulted in miscalculation which led to WWI. (that’s an ominous warning for US rants vis-a-vis Russia and China. And BTW, I always thought the US was stupid for giving China the tools to overtake us. Now, that’s too late, we need to get along)

        The first four years of WWI demonstrated that the players all overestimated their abilities and underestimated the carnage that would result from first war of the industrial era, and grossly underestimated the social consequences. If 1890-1910 was an era of optimism for the West, as technology, primarily the adoption of electrical power and industrial output were making life easier and more pleasant for more people than ever, WWI marked the beginning of the end of Western Civilization.

        The British elite, who 25 years earlier had almost gone to war with a USA that still (and rightly so!) remained suspicious of Great Britain, co-opted their English-speaking equivalents in the New World. On the basis of the fact that Wall Street/big US capital had many more ties with Britain than Germany, the USA was a very benevolent neutral toward GB from 1915-17. In 1917, a re-elected Wilson broke his promise to stay out and got the USA to declare war. By 1918, as the trickle of US men and material turned into a big flow, the Germans realized they would be overwhelmed eventually by the fresh American troops, that Germany could not prevail, and thus agreed to a cease-fire, which turned into a very unjust peace, which was a key factor in bringing about WW2.

        Without American entry into WWI, it probably would have ended in a draw–just other Euro wars ended, and the weary combatants would have gone home and started anew.

        Of course, the US had also joined the colonial games…the Philipines, Cuba, Puerto Rico, all taken from Spain in war.

        However, the war did break Britain economically. Thus, the torch for one-world hegemony was transferred to the American elites.

        They have worked overtly and covertly for one-world government ever since, much more so after WWII, under the guise of the noble goal of “preventing WW3”. They have co-opted European elites, and many (but not all) others. Notably, they appear to not have co-opted Chinese elites (aka the top of the CCP). These two groups are jockeying. The CCP, as the underdog, at this time wishes simply to maintain its position, and slowly erode the Davos crowd. The Davos crowd seeks to contain/squeeze and pressure a China that….it finds it cannot do without, so it cannot completey squeeze it, lol…

        Even before 1914, in 1861, the US Civil War was about control. It was about states’ rights vs the central govt.

        Slavery was abhorrent, yes. That was the “abortion” issue of that era. But the motivator behind the abolitionist was big money–corporate America in its infancy. The south was agrarian. The southern elite profited from slavery, which was essential to produce cotton and tobacco, which they exported to France and Britain. In return, they preferred buying better quality finished goods from Europe, without tariffs.

        But the northern elites were in early industrialization. They wanted a protected market (the tariff) in the US, so they could sell inferior goods for more–something the southern elites did not care for.

        In the end, the USA had a civil war. Industrial capacity and more manpower triumphed over the south, though man for man, the Confederates proved better soldiers and acquitted themselves well in the war.

        After the civil war, the south was occupied for what, 20 years? Oh, and the federal government gained a lot more power, at the expense of the states.

        A lot of power is like a lot of money. The more you have, the more you want. And more power one has, the more tempting it is to use it to acquire more. The powerful are surrounded by sycophants to feed their egos (if you aren’t a sycophant, you ain’t goin’ anywhere in corporate America…)

        The founding fathers of the USA recognized this, which is why they endowed the US with a (cumbersome) division of powers system.

        The founding fathers were also concerned mob rule (democracy) and about ignorant people. or people without similar values, voting. John Adams said the constitution would only work for a “moral and God-fearing people”.

        Both parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, have eagerly worked to centralize power when it suits them. Like a ratchet, when it does not, things do not return.

        And that is how America got to this place, politicially.

        As far as the Long Emergency (resource constraints) that JHK wrote about in 2005, that is due to a lack of self-discipline, to the desire that “every one else do the right thing”, and the people in charge encouraging wanton waste because it enriched them. Yeah, I needed a big Buick that got 10mpg in 1970 to commute to work, just like I need a Suburban today that get 15mpg. Let peons drive VW Beetles or Camrys.

        Yes, the elite are using the plandemic (to trim the elderly population to save $, and to make you take the shot to assert control), the environment (to push idiotic EVs that won’t work, to control your mobility), and “equity” (to tell you you are guilty and need to ‘do your share’, though 99% of people basically work in the world they inherited). It’s all about control. And one-world is the control made complete.

        If I was in Arizona, in Phoenix, in the middle of the desert, I would be worrying about where my next glass of water is coming from.

    from the Real Anthony Fauci by RFK Jr:

    Gallup polling indicated that Democrat voters thought that 50% of covid infections resulted in hospitalizatons. The real number was less than one percent.

    Dr Fauci dreamily recalled his own measles and mumps vaccinations in elementary school, an unlikely memory since these didn’t come out until 1963 and 1967, and Fauci attended elementary school in the 1940’s.

      CNN, MSNBC, Atlantic Magazine , Vanity Fair, The View, Huffpost, NYT, Los Angeles Times, Gannett, the Late Night TV, SNL, Google, Wikipedia, Facebook and Twitter.

      But let me beat a certain someone(s) to the punch on this one: ‘Where’s the DATA? This is all just anecdotal, and all of this could be over in a New York second if we just had some data?”

      You know, because the people in charge of our health and well-being would never lie to us. We all know that, don’t we?

      If we could all just take a minute or two and wait for some nice trustworthy peer-reviewed studies done or paid for by the CDC, NIH, WHO or similar above reproach agency, we would all know the truth and breathe much easier.

      Plus, you know, the Pharm manufacturers (watching a Pfizer commercial on the telly as we speak – heartwarming, it is!) are releasing more and more information everyday on the efficacy of these wonderful, life-saving vaccines.

      • JohnAZ December 19, 2021 at 4:18 pm #

        That is right, and the Pro vaxxers are starting to lose their credibility with the release of data that is coming.Even the polls on Biden re Covid are showing it.

        Sorry Dis, no one paid much attention to you and yours as long as everything was opinion and hearsay. Data talks!

        The Deep State is going to fight this hand over fist, but in the end, going to lose. Omicron is going to do them in when it just kills the Covid threat. Fauci will be out on his ear, looking for funding for his next adventure and finding no interest.

    Hunter Wallace on Succession

    I’m a realist.

    It is a great development that secession entered the mainstream in 2021.

    For the first time in my lifetime, a majority of White Southerners are at least open to the idea of dissolving the Union, which wasn’t the case as recently as a year ago. In 2001, you came across as an eccentric for advocating Southern independence. In 2011, you still came across as someone who was nostalgic and living in the past, but it was becoming clear that America had mounting problems. In 2021, you come across as a prophet for having seen the future so clearly and before anyone else in your community.

    Brookings Institution:

    “One troubling sign of our deteriorating civic mood is the shocking breadth of support for secession in the United States. At a time of widespread polarization—where people are arguing over a supposedly stolen election, vaccine mandates, mask-wearing, and the reality of climate change—a September 2020 Hofstra University poll found that “nearly 40 percent of likely voters would support state secession if their candidate loses.” This was followed by a YouGov and Bright Line Watch survey last June that revealed that 37% of Americans supported a “willingness to secede” when asked: “Would you support or oppose [your state] seceding from the United States to join a new union with [list of states in new union]?” Support for doing this was highest in the South and among Republicans. …

    Yet secession’s mere mention in public discourse reveals the dangers facing American democracy right now. The deeply rooted polarization that is fueling public mistrust of the “other side” is opening people to far-reaching possibilities that otherwise might not be considered; ideas once considered impossible may now fall within the realm of possibility. …

    Talk of radical solutions signals a deep discontent with the status quo and a willingness to consider “outside the box” actions. Extreme actions are moving into the mainstream in ways that are quite risky. During a time of megachange, we should not ignore these kinds of radical ideas. Rather than being outside the mainstream, such discussion may signal a future that varies widely from the recent past.”

    I tried to look beyond the Trump presidency in September 2015.

    I saw it as something that we would have to go through to create the level of polarization necessary for secession to even become conceivable. The Trump presidency would prove to be a mirage where these people thought that they had succeeded in “Taking Back America.” When they eventually were confronted with reality, it would radicalize them. This has since come to pass.

    Looking ahead, we’re going to give “Taking Back America” another whirl. The Democrats are going to fall apart due to inflation and their own contradictions. Your Favorite President is going to launch his 2024 Revenge Tour after the midterms. Trump and the GOP are going to be restored to power on “Let’s Go Brandon” and will predictably squander it. The Democrats will get even crazier and the polarization and division will intensify and ratchet up to the next level. If we are lucky, California will secede.

    The best case scenario would be that the libtards in the coastal Blue States are so blackpilled by a Trump Restoration that they take the initiative and secede and we let them go peacefully. It is more likely that we are disappointed and Trump’s second term ends up being as tense and unfruitful as his first term. He ends up surrounded again by grifters, nepotism and inept advisors and sells out to the donors.

    Jarek: So the great rematch, the Thrilla in Manilla – Trump vs Hillary, both pro-Vax. Does it really matter who wins? Since the Elite plan to dissolve all nations, it doesn’t even matter if we secede if no mandatory Vax isn’t the front and center of our Platform.

    Messi had a link about Trump visiting WEF after he failed to attain office. He was welcomed by Schwab himself.

        Wait a minute, he could be back in the saddle in 2024, after a term of total incompetence demonstrated by the Democrats.

      Very much agree. What is the point of secession if the covidians are still in control. The covidians and the globalists are one and the same at their root. Imho opinion its folly to believe the far leftist marxists are going to go peacefully one way or the other. They have proven they want and like violence. They are very open about wanting to purge traditionalists, conservatives, nationalists, etc.

        Today, the Ult Left have taken a hit with the incompetence of Biden’s team. They have not done one single thing that has brought positive results. No wonder the folks are polling so negatively.

        There are too many other issues pending to worry only about Covid. Covid will be with us whether or not the Progressives are in control or not.

        One thing to really watch out for. NY is trying to enfranchise illegals. That happens nation wide, kiss America good bye.

        • SoftStarLight December 19, 2021 at 2:50 pm #

          I disagree John. Covid is a principle weapon of the Ult Left as you describe them. They are using it to consolidate power at every level and at the most fundamental level: bodily and personal autonomy. Yes illegal immigration is a major problem but the GOP has never done much to stop it either so they are complicit. So its no surprise they have found a way to weaponize illegal immigrant voting. They have been bragging about it forever and nothing is ever done to change anything.

        “What is the point of secession if the covidians are still in control. ”

        That’s how I feel about Scottish Independence. The SNP are even worse than what’s in England. I heard someone suggest all the devolved governments (Wales, N. Ireland, Scotland) had been groomed for globalism (probably with some help from the EU Regional fund).

        • JohnAZ December 19, 2021 at 2:35 pm #

          You know, the whole problem is as you make the base for government wider and wider, the bureaucracy grows and the end result is the government separates from the constituency.

          The EU is a perfect example.

        • SoftStarLight December 19, 2021 at 2:52 pm #

          I can certainly believe that. Who isn’t being groomed for globalism?

            An example of some current lunacy, SSL

            In England, the new rules on re-introduced mask-wearing (for Moronic) allow people in England to leave off their masks if they are singing. This is primarily for church services. In Scotland, the masks have to stay on for the hymn singing (masks in shops/transport have stayed all year anyway).

            Someone asked Boris (I think) if you could sing in other places, e.g. in a supermarket, without a mask. Eventually the answer came back that singing could indeed happen anywhere (in England) without a mask, including in a supermarket (but that would be odd, they said).

            It was suggested by one of the UKC news presenters that some maskless flash-mob events in supermarkets might be just the thing for some seasonal protests. 🙂

            I doubt they will be covered in the Nooz though, if they happen!

      • Jarek December 19, 2021 at 4:58 pm #

        Well Podesta and others had a plan to take the West Coast out of the Union if Trump won. Real? Who knows. Maybe the higher Elite have a Plan about that. But I agree with you: They’d never let a non-covidan, real Conservative breakaway. And they most definitely control the military and are strengthening their control at all levels.

        https://www.americanpartisan.org/2021/12/retired-generals-to-pentagon-cull-extremists-in-the-ranks-before-civil-war/

        In other words, maybe they’d allow a Trump breakaway, if they trusted that Trump was loyal to the Agenda. They want to break up countries, so they could pretend all this was just “natural”. Later all the pieces would be put back together as the North American Union. Later the different regions of the world would come together formally as the Global State.

    “The Hideous People Behind a ‘Hideously Ugly’ Confederate Statue”

    I do agree that the statue was uniquely ugly. “It appeared to have been crafted by a cross between a demented adolescent, a lover of brutalist Hitlerian ‘art,’ and an unhinged cartoonist on a bad LSD trip.”

    However, this does a disservice to General Nathan Bedford Forrest’s complex legacy. And, in a weird sort of way, Dorris was right when he described “slavery as ‘the first form of Social Security.’ Black people, Dorris added, ‘never had it so good as far as job security.'”

    It seems that a lot of people are for secession these days. I don’t know if Hunter Wallace is a visionary on that subject as Jarek maintains but I would be against that. I think a Constitutional Convention is inevitable if the U.S. is to maintain its integrity, as I mentioned in an earlier post. Certainly, such a convention would see the necessity of returning control to the local level & imposing a limited franchise to people of sound mind & morals exclusively.

The prominent individual who has been identified as Ray Epps does not officially exist anymore according to the FBI. He was part of a team of operatives who are discussed in the article. He may have been an unwitting dupe himself. There is some indication that he has misgivings about his role in this affair. Speculation on the activities & identities of some others are broken down in the article. It’s obvious that they are being protected by the security/surveillance apparatus of the regime.

      I went to your link. Couldn’t open the video though: “This page has been blocked by Microsoft Edge”

      You know, I like books. I own books I have not read, but felt compelled to buy them. I have too many books.

      I was encouraged to get rid of some. I got rid of a few. But I feel I must keep most of them.

      I was concerned that one day, perhaps, when all our info comes from the internet, well it might be rewritten. Or it could disappear. Just as George Orwell wrote about in 1984, about the Ministry of Truth where Winston worked.

      I’ve also read people say their e-mail is blocking things.

        In order to accurately predict what is in store for us next, it is a Good idea to consider what TPTB are currently planning and gaming.

        Therefore, I Believe that we are now nearing a massive cyber attack.

        I Believe that last year’s Texas winter storm and power outage was a dress rehearsal for President Joseph Biden’s promised “dark winter.”

        • anmariwakaranai December 19, 2021 at 9:16 pm #

          So what should we do hawk? Pay bills, take$$$ out of system, lay in supplies….?

          • O.G. Hawkins December 19, 2021 at 9:44 pm #

            First off, let me stress, what follows is in my humble opinion:

            Yes, I Believe that bank digits will be made worthless and that tangible assets will be valuable.

            The Lord works in mysterious ways. December 8 has come and gone but I, for one, needed that date/deadline (plus some unexpected help from a Good Samaritan) to kick-start me from horrified inertia to stocking action.

            Air, shelter, heat, water, food all mean more than 10 million dollars in bank digits when one’s survival is in question.

            I keep hearing of a 10-day outage. When prepping, one should keep 2 things in mind:

            1) A 10-day outage in our modern Just-in-time Supply Chain will result in shortages and scarcity for far, far longer than the original 10 days.

            2) You need WAY more supplies than Just for you and yours. When your unprepared neighbours are starving,* you will share your stocks come Hell or high water. TruStory

            Standard prep stuffs, of course. Rice, beans, pasta, water,** canned meat, propane, camp stove, etc., etc., etc.

            Beyond that, those fortunate enough to have wealth to try to preserve, silver & gold. Real, physical, in-your-hands precious metal as paper versions thereof are more precarious than are Savings Account bank digits.

            *We don’t know starving. We say, “I’m starving” meaning “I’m hungry.” You will not listen to your neighbour’s 10 y.o. child cry with Real hunger while you still have food. Either your conscience or your neighbour will ensure that your stocks are shared.

            That is, once you start, you cannot possibly have enough rice, beans, etc. Do your Best and pray to God for guidance and Wisdom.

            **Not Just drinking/cooking water. Start filling empty jugs with water now while it is still free-flowing out of your taps. Your toilet is mechanical and gravity-driven. That is, it does not need electricty to flush as long as you have water to refill the holding tank for the next flush.

            Sewage is funny until it is not.

          If we went into full war mode, wouldn’t nuclear blast in air, EMP pulse, immobilize the entire network anyway? Who need cyberattacks?

          • O.G. Hawkins December 20, 2021 at 5:09 am #

            While I do not know why they do what they do, I speculate:

            They prefer a faux cyber-attack over a Real EMP attack because the former affords them complete control (after 10 days of darkness) while the latter would physically damage everything.

            There is no doubt that Klaus Schwab and the WEF are planning and gaming the former (not the latter) Right now.

      So now we have a symptomless variant and people are believing this.

      Where do you get this? Proper medical people – epidemiologists who know what they’re talking about – have not once called the new variant “symptomless”.

      In fact it’s more the reverse – they are very hesitant to conclude too early that Omicron is milder than Alpha-Delta, because so far it has generally been younger people who have caught it, and the vaccinated.

      They need to see its impact on older people, and those unvaccinated and partially vaccinated. I appreciate it’s a call for “more data” – but that’s what epidemiology & virology are all about – especially in a pandemic.

      And all variants have ranged widely in their impact – from asymptomatic through to lethal. It’s nothing new.

      • GreenAlba December 20, 2021 at 8:00 am #

        How can we find out about its effect on the vaccinated and unvaccinated when unvaccinated doesn’t mean unvaccinated?

    I’ve been looking to see if there was any update on what happened to Andreas Noack.

    Came across this:

    https://livingstones.blog/2021/11/28/how-did-dr-andreas-noack-die/

    There’s a video purportedly showing the police breaking into his home while he was on a zoom call/teleconference. What do you think?

    • MaryQueen December 19, 2021 at 10:18 pm #

      That break-in and arrest happened awhile back, because I recall seeing it then, and reading about it. Maybe last year? I have lost my concept of time.

      His wife did a fairly clear video detailing what happened to him. Seems he had a heart attack type situation, she brought him to the hospital, they somehow sent him back home, and then it happened again, and he went back to the hospital, and died there. The description of the attacks he suffered were kind of weird, but I’ve never been around someone having a heart attack or stroke. And of course I would not rule out poisoning or some other weird thing. He had literally just finished a new presentation where he claimed the jabs were putting razor blades in peoples’ veins.

      • GreenAlba December 20, 2021 at 6:07 am #

        Yes, I saw the presentation he did before he died, but the last we talked about it (a few weeks ago) there seemed to be confusion about how he died. I listened to his wife saying he’d collapsed and had a heart attack (without mentioning the police) and another source mentioned the police but I hadn’t seen the video of them entering his home. There was also a mention that she thought he’d been the subject of some mysterious technological attack, separately from the police.

        So there seemed to be conflicting information.

    Back the, people “under the weather” would “call-in sick” and then watch The Odd Couple re-runs on TV.

    It seemed so simple. In hindsight, I guess that we Just didn’t know any Better.

        Covid is the sacred disease, like AIDS used to. Some Gays tried to get AIDS to feel important or something. See “The Gift”, probably not on Youtube anymore. They would talk about it like it was something great, like getting pregnant.

        So these two probably got a cold and are trying to be newsworthy by calling it covid. If they got vaxed, they may be in more trouble though.

        Your belief actually cuts some middle ground here since you believe that there is going to be a future here on Earth – and not a completely supernatural one. Thus ordinary things are still important.

            clearly displays that. So does your disBelief in God.

            You seem to think that whether there is or is not God is up to you while, of course, The Truth existed eons before you were born.

            The Truth is as complex as It is. No more and no less. But It is The Truth – not your brain pud-pulling about It.

            President Trump is either legit against the Deep State or controlled opposition working for the Deep State. A or B. It is not over-complicated at all and a legit argument with evidence can be made for both. That’s why I remain unsure.

      That’s a crazy thought. You get injected with a transfection reagent they call a vaccine, which may actually leave your DNA permanently coding for a spike protein. After all, didn’t David Baltimore get the Nobel Prize for discovering that viruses with genomes consisting of RNA can also be inserted into host cells’ DNA? Yes, he did in 1975. Then you try to use CRISPR to edit that gain of function spike gene out. The word Frankenstein comes to mind.

Indeed, each of our cells has endogenous retroviruses with the ability to reverse transcriptase from RNA into DNA. Although this is a rare event, its passage through the DNA of germ cells and its transmission to future generations cannot be excluded.”

    Here’s a bit of stuff for the resident Covid-deniers to chew over:

    Red counties are suddenly overflowing with deaths, while in the blue counties it’s just the vaccine stragglers who are ending up in the funeral parlor.

    With this virus doubling every few days, we can expect a tidal wave of Omicron to sweep the entire nation over the next six to twelve weeks.

    For the blue counties, this will be an inconvenience and will kill a few vaccinated folks who are either elderly, have health problems like type-2 diabetes, or are immune compromised by transplants, medication, or cancer treatments. But most people in blue counties — at least the vaccinated ones — will get a “bad covid flu” and make it through.

    Not so in the red counties.

    The GOP’s decision to politicize a virus may well cost the lives of a million or more Republican voters over the next few months.

    And that doesn’t include the sad fact that as many as a third of symptomatic Covid cases result in long-term disabilities including dementia, heart and lung insufficiency, chronic fatigue and what a recent National Institutes of Health publication called “an epidemic” of erectile dysfunction.

    […]

    And you can bet that Republicans will soon come up with Biden-related memes and monikers for the virus to make it seem as if he’s responsible for all these Trump-encouraged GOP deaths. If nothing else, they know how to politicize anything, from emails to ambassador’s deaths.

    But science doesn’t lie. A true sh*tstorm is on its way, and it’s going to hit red-county Trump voters like the climate change hurricanes just hit Kentucky.

    Get ready. Get boosted. Get a few extra N-95 masks and home Covid test kits. Start working from home if you can.

    And get yourself psychologically and emotionally prepared for the mass illness and death that’s about to visit the red counties of our nation because Donald Trump and the GOP chose to downplay this deadly virus for political purposes.

    As I do from time to time, I took one for the team and scrolled for a few minutes on Reddit to see how the other half thinks. People there actually cheered on the WH statement below:

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2021/12/17/press-briefing-by-white-house-covid-19-response-team-and-public-health-officials-74/

    Actual quote from the first page:

    As we’ve explained in prior briefings, the Omicron variant is more transmissible and our medical experts anticipate it will lead to a rise in cases.

    But unlike last winter, we now have the power to protect ourselves.

    Our vaccines work against Omicron, especially for people who get booster shots when they are eligible. If you are vaccinated, you could test positive. But if you do get COVID, your case will likely be asymptomatic or mild.

    We are intent on not letting Omicron disrupt work and school for the vaccinated. You’ve done the right thing, and we will get through this.

    For the unvaccinated, you’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.”

    Fascism, blah, we’re better than you, etc:

    Is there anything in there that is actually true? Or course not. So who in the fuck do these people think they are? Is there nothing else worth talking about anymore?

    Anyway, just pointing out this is about as blatant as they can get from the Goebbelsian Dept Of Truth: (“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”)

    • MrMangoOnMyShoulder December 20, 2021 at 6:51 am #

      F#kk me, OMICRON variant all over the local news and it appears the State is shutting down again like nearly 2 years ago.

      The Vaccine Passport system kicks off today too. For established restaurants and other small businesses the handwriting is on the wall and many are simply closing their doors, this time for good. Natgas and #2 heating oil prices are at near record highs and this morning in some outlying towns temps are in the single digits, which is a shock to some people who believed the era of cold winters were at an end because of “Catastrophic Climate Change.”

      All that enhanced unemployment benefits business and stimulus checks that kept people going the past few years are over. It’s looking like it may be a dark winter ahead indeed.

        The guy on the plane recently red-flagged for his unauthorized-use of a mask, thought the side-effect, I mean variant in play was ‘oh my thong’.

    The INTENTIONAL failure of “officials” to disclose:
    1. Detailed demographic data of the deceased attributed to COVID-19, sorted by age, race, locale, co-morbidity, and variant , and
    2. The impaired and deceased attributed to an mRNA injection, sorted by “vaccine” type and manufacturing location, date, lot number, and demographics, and
    3. The long-term adverse events of the mRNA injection, sorted by the same, and
    4. The long-term “durability” of natural immunity conferred by deep plasma bone marrow production of antibodies, and
    5. The origin of the first identified strain of COVID-19…..
    are ALL indicative of a coordinated program, NOT simple gross incompetence.

    ALL Time and Energy is BEST spent building out the NEW, NOT fighting the old.
