Who Can You Trust?

      Perhaps you’re aware that the World Health Organization (WHO) is cooking up a plan to impose its will over all the sovereign nations on this planet in the event of future pandemics. That means, for instance, that the WHO would issue orders to the USA about lockdowns, vaccines, and vaccine passports and we US citizens supposedly would be compelled to follow them.

     Why the “Joe Biden” regime would go along with this globalist fuckery is one of the abiding mysteries of our time — except that they go along with everything else that the cabal of Geneva cooks up, such as attacks on farmers, and on oil production, and on relations between men and women, and on personal privacy, and on economic liberty throughout Western Civ, as if they’re working overtime to kill it off. And all of us with it.

     I think they are working overtime at that because the sore-beset citizens of Western Civ are onto their game, and getting restless about it. So, the Geneva cabal is in a race against time before the center pole of their circus tent collapses and the nations of the world are compelled to follow the zeitgeist in the direction of de-centralizing, foiling all their grand plans.

    The “Joe Biden” regime is pretending to ignore the reality that this WHO deal is actually a treaty that would require ratification by a two-thirds vote in the senate, an unlikely outcome. In any case, handing over authority to the WHO — in effect, to its chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus — to push around American citizens like a giant herd of cattle would be patently unlawful.

     That center pole of the circus tent is the wobbling global economy. It’s barely holding up the canvas over the three rings of the circus. In the center ring, the death-defying spectacle of the Biden Family crime case is playing out before a huge audience (us). This week, a gun went off at the FBI and smoke is curling out of the barrel. FBI Director Christopher Wray was forced to verify that he’s been sitting on an incriminating document for three years from a “trusted” confidential human source, i.e., an informant, stating that the Biden Family received a $5-million bribe from a foreign entity when “JB” was vice-president.

     That’s only one bribe of many others, of course, as documented in the Hunter Biden laptop, and it must be obvious it represents treasonous behavior that will demand resignation or impeachment. As this spools out in the weeks and months ahead, do you think Americans will be in the mood to accept further insults such as “Joe Biden” surrendering our national sovereignty to the WHO?

     Anyway, you must ask yourself: why on earth should I trust the WHO about anything? Did they not participate in laying a trip on the world with Covid-19? How did those lockdowns work out? Do you think they destroyed enough businesses and ruined enough households? How’s the vaccination program doing? Effective? Safe? Yeah, maybe not so much. Maybe killing a lot of people, wrecking immune systems, sterilizing reproductive organs, causing gross disabilities, shattering lives.

    Of course, in over three years neither the WHO nor the US medical authorities showed the slightest interest in helping to figure out how the Covid-19 virus was made in a lab, and exactly how it got loose in the world. Lately, Dr. Ghebreyesus has warned the world about much worse future pandemics supposedly coming down at us. Oh? Really? What does he know that we don’t? That possibly new efforts to concoct chimeric diseases are ongoing in labs around the world? (You know that dozens of such labs were discovered in Ukraine as the war got underway there in 2022.) What’s Dr. Ghebreyesus doing to stop that?

     If US orgs and citizens are involved in this “research,” why doesn’t the WHO alert our government leaders so they can stop it? (Would they? I’m not so sure.) And, who is behind it this time? The Eco-Health Alliance again, like with Covid-19? By the way, that outfit got another whopping grant last fall from the NIH to “study” bat viruses — right after the NIH terminated a previous grant on account of The Eco-Health Alliance failing to turn over notebooks and other records.

    No, you cannot trust the WHO about anything. The “trust horizon” (a concept introduced by the great Nicole Foss, late of The Automatic Earth dot com) is shrinking. You can no longer trust any distant authorities. You also cannot trust the US federal government (especially the executive branch behind “Joe Biden”). And notice: the trust horizon is shrinking just as the world is de-centralizing. This, you see, is the main contradiction behind all the Globalists’ twisted ambitions to control everything, including you. They are working against the current tide of human history which is pushing everything toward down-scaling, re-localization, and re-assertion of the sovereign individual person.

      That trend will become increasingly evident as things organized at the giant scale start to implode — giant retail chains, medical behemoths, hedge funds, big banks, you name it. The world no longer has the mojo for globalism. There’s reason to wonder these days whether the USA has the mojo to remain a unified national polity of states. Our federal government is not only financially bankrupt beyond any coherent reckoning, it is also morally bankrupt, and it has decided to make war against its own people. None of this is satisfactory and none of this is working. It’s time to figure out who and what you can trust and act accordingly.

     In April, 2023, Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) Kathie Breault was indicted in the Eastern States District Federal Court for “Conspiracy to Defraud the United States” for giving vaccination cards to people who did not receive Covid-19 vaccinations. Her defense is that the vaccinations were ineffective and harmful, and to administer them would violate the Hippocratic oath of health professionals (First do no harm). Her legal battle against a dishonest and vindictive federal government will require lawyer’s fees that exceed her ability to pay — a reminder that “the process is the punishment.”

      Kathie has also been accused of “professional misconduct” by the New York State Licensing Board for prescribing Ivermectin via telehealth visits in July 2021. Many other medical practitioners across the United States have been similarly persecuted and some have lost their licenses to practice. Kathie has been under investigation by New York’s Office of Professional Discipline since March 2022. No decision has been reached as of May 2023.

    Here is a book title I recently came across: “White Sight: Visual Politics and Practices of Whiteness” It is $28 is anyone wants to waste their money.

    Can anyone make any sense of what this synopsis even is getting at?

    From the author of How to See the World comes a new history of white supremacist ways of seeing–and a strategy for dismantling them.
    White supremacy is not only perpetuated by laws and police but also by visual culture and distinctive ways of seeing. Nicholas Mirzoeff argues that this form of “white sight” has a history. By understanding that it was not always a common practice, we can devise better ways to dismantle it. Spanning centuries across this wide-ranging text, Mirzoeff connects Renaissance innovations–from the invention of perspective and the erection of Apollo statues as monuments to (white) beauty and power to the rise of racial capitalism dependent on slave labor–with the ever-expanding surveillance technologies of the twenty-first century to show that white sight creates an oppressively racializing world, in which subjects who do not appear as white are under constant threat of violence.
    Analyzing recent events like the George Floyd protests and the Central Park birdwatching incident, Mirzoeff suggests that we are experiencing a general crisis of white supremacy that presents both opportunities and threats to social justice. If we do not seize this moment to dismantle white sight, then white supremacy might surge back stronger than ever. To that end, he highlights activist interventions to strike the power of the white heteropatriarchal gaze. White Sight is a vital handbook and call to action for anyone who refuses to live under white-dominated systems and is determined to find a just way to see the world.

    • Disaffected June 2, 2023 at 9:39 am #

      White (color) being a stand in for class (the hyper-rich). Yes, most of the hyper-rich are also white, but that’s beside the point. It’s their wealth and power that unite them against everyone else, as they’re more than willing to sell out the hoi polloi, regardless of color or ethnicity. It’s a clever dodge that’s worked well so far to camouflage the operative factors, which have always been wealth and power.

      • Cankerpuss June 2, 2023 at 11:49 am #

        Here’s another little factoid to go along with your “all white” hyper-rich.

        Most of the hyper-rich are Jewish. Bloomberg, Bezos, Buffet, Soros, The Zuck, Gates, and possibly Musk are just a few to start the list.

        Just sayin…

        • beantownbill. June 2, 2023 at 1:23 pm #

            Another interesting factoid: The so-called Jews who work for the Davos Bankers are not really Jews, they are Turkish mercenaries. The Turks were hired by WEF to act as bill collectors and enforcers. They adopted the Jewish faith to hide behind plausible deniability. (This according to numerous Anthropologists.)

            Herr Klausenschwab’s plan was to destroy all humans, except for a select few to cook his meals and clean his castle. The coming economic collapse and death of the dollar is going to put a crimp in WEFers plan.

          Thank you Joe Biden!

          About that trust business—. The first rule is that if the American Propaganda Network promulgates it its a lie (until proven otherwise). The second is that all countries at war lie whenever they think it will benefit them.

          Following these simple rules sets you on the path to perhaps discerning the truth. By following them and being sensitive to their implications I’ve seen a 100% return on my currency trades since the start of the economic WWIII between the USA and Russia. I’m not exactly the Goldman Sucks foreign exchange trading desk, but it is nice to be proven right!

          The first clue that the OBiden sanctions policy might have a few stumbling blocks along the way came from a lengthy blog post by a Belgian journalist in the early days of US sanctions. His MO is to spend two months in a country interviewing people on the street, wandering about and photographing what he sees. The Moscow he reported on was nothing like the one I and most Americans subconsciously carry within. You know, grim concrete apartment blocks with a bare light bulb in each room, smoking outmoded Russian built cars, stumbling vodka alcoholics and little old ladies cultivating turnips alongside the railroad tracks.

          One of the first questions the Belgian journalist asked was “where are the homeless people?” The typical response was puzzlement, as if there was no word in the Russian language for the concept. Instead he found a city where people had no hesitancy to stroll around at night in almost any district. A modern, dynamic city sprawling over a large area, mostly consisting of newly built four story buildings. New four lane streets— without potholes. Conspicuous consumption in the form of Porsches and BMW’s with owners driving around without fear of carjacking . Every morning a line up of $250,000 Mercedes Maybauch limousines outside the McDonalds as the drivers stopped by for their morning coffee. Former US arms control inspector Scott Ritter just returned from a month tour of Russia and reported exactly the same economic dynamic.

          As soon as the OBiden team tried to ratchet up pressure on the Russian Federation by excluding it from the START currency trading system and seizing Oligarch’s capital assets I began to look for a way to bet on the future of the Ruble. It took a bit of maneuvering through intermediate currencies but has been well worth it! There are certain advantages to betting on an economic system with virtually no national debt and control of the world’s largest stock of natural resources! And a military budget a tenth that of the Trillion dollar US grift and graft system that is still able to fight and win in a proxy war against us.

          Thanks Joe and all your handlers too!

            Continuing with the theme “Who can you Trust?”, before you climb aboard the DeSantis bandwagon that is being manufactured around his candidacy you owe it to yourself to look into his early history as a young JAG lawyer.

            youtube.com/watch?v=D07SeR-IcZ4

            According to this investigation by Democracy Now his early posting was to Guantanamo Prison where he posed as an attorney representing the inmates. The purpose being to gain info to facilitate torture and break their hunger strike protesting being held without charges. He must have done good work, because his next posting was to Abu Dhabi prison where infamous torture practices needed to be covered up.

            There is no shortage of angry denials from DeSantis and his supporters. Do your due diligence and decide for yourself if he is himself a victim of a political smear or a black soul that must be kept as far from the presidency as possible.

    • MaryQueen June 2, 2023 at 9:45 am #

      It’s annoying to me that you use the first comment space to tout someone’s work you don’t even like, rather than reacting to Jim’s article, which he takes the time to write for us every week and which topic was not even about white supremacy.

      I’m not here to be the ‘thread police’ but seriously, I find it rude.

      • cowbell81 June 2, 2023 at 9:57 am #

        I was also tempted to post a comment on Biden’s latest fall at the Air Force Academy, but felt that topic has been covered ad nauseum already anyway. That, and the fact that Biden claimed that AI poses a serious threat to human intellect (pot calling kettle…).

          I didn’t see any “sandbag” on the stage for Biden to trip over. Besides, what would a sandbag be doing on a stage, and why would it be situated in Biden’s path?

          • Beryl of Oyl June 2, 2023 at 1:18 pm #

            I think it was alongside the teleprompter stand, for some reason.

        I agree. Moreover, I was expecting to read replies like, “The WHO’s plans are centred on climate change.” An American politician reported after five day’s attendance at the WHO’s convention that not a word was said about pandemics. A reporter by the name of Bin Laden said basically the same thing on warroom.org. John Kerry was there representing the USA – both he and his doctor daughter are in it up to their eyebrows – with no formal authority from the USA to speak about the treaty on its behalf.
        Lastly, the economy of the BRICS+, SCO, EAEU appears not to be under that big top.

        When Black entertainer (or something) and Black Supremacist Nick Cannon excoriated Whites and Jews, he was forced by “Hollywood” to apologize about what he said about Jews.

        He did so. Hollywood did not ask him to apologize about what he said about Whites, nor did he do so.

      Sangre de Christo! I’ve been on the planet for well nigh 75 years now (JHK is a contemporary), and probably about 50 years of that fairly conscious of the World and ‘what goes on’…

      …and this kind of horseshit (‘white supremacy’?!) is totally unique, weird, and puzzlingly to me, since it is believed in by otherwise seemingly sane adults.

      Well, if being thoroughly brain-washed still qualifies someone for being sane, then ‘Houston, we have a problem’.

      There is no other possible explanation. This is a well-thought out, well run psy-op by the small group of very powerful people, who seem to be getting their instructions from one individual in particular, and he is not the personification of evil, he is Evil Itself!

      I think Paul got it right when he wrote, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”. He seems incredibly prescient. Can some people actually see the future? It seems that George Orwell could.

      I hesitated for a long time to believe that there really is such a ‘person’, a spirit, as Satan. But you know, when facts repeatedly and unvaryingly, point in one direction towards one thing, it becomes increasingly difficult to come to other conclusions.

      Occam’s Razor, ya know?

      When Jim wrote “I think they are working overtime…because the sore-beset citizens of Western Civ are onto their game, and getting restless about it…the Geneva cabal is in a race against time before the center pole of their circus tent collapses”. Just insert for ‘Geneva cabal’ the word ‘Satan’.

      We Christians are told in the Bible that there is such a person as Satan, and furthermore, that in some future time he will be loosed upon the World; and that HE KNOWS HE HAS BUT A LIMITED TIME to work his evil before the Christ puts an end to his reign.

      Yeah, I know. The Bible. And prophecy. And Christ and all that jazz. It’s positively super-natural. Christ ain’t gonna come again. Talk about brain-washing! And yet…I keep thinking about that one biblical prophecy which for years, for CENTURIES, seemed ridiculous – i.e. that one day the Jewish people would return to their own land of Israel.

      Well they did just 50 days before I was born. That is eerie. It’s sort of like I’m here just to witness this whole catastrophe, and so far, it sure does look like that prophecy about the End Times and Satan and all that is coming true too.

      Oh and I almost forgot, there have been at least two prophecies that I know of that claimed that Russia would have a spiritual conversion, throw off Communism, and eventually lead the World into a its own spiritual conversion. (Note: the two being Edgar Cayce and Our Lady of Fatima).

      Anyhoo, it looks like we are in for a lollapalooza of a denouement. Buckle your seatbelts.

      “… the white heteropatriarchal gaze.”

      Dear Diary,

      Aha! This morning, spotted a new term from the pathologico-academic lexicon. Well, new to me, though for aught I know, maybe has been gestating in the dark womb of Victims Without Borders for years.

      Diary, your writer pulled a question from his — excuse me, their — Dream Catcher net following the discovery. How do these armored neologisms arise? Is there a central bureau of generously tattooed and topknot haired, dedicated partisans whose days and nights are devoted to linguistic takeover?

      As usual, didn’t I grab my notebook for recording discoveries in woke jargon to set down “white heteropatriarchal gaze”? Oh Diary, imagine my distress on finding out there was scarcely room for another entry? I am sure it won’t be long — maybe next hour? — before another anti-heteronormative gaze, er, phrase drops. I must keep up. What to do, Diary?

    A great article today, Jim, thank you. It is long past the time for the WHO to be shut down or at least minimalized. Tedros has proven to be a psychotic madmen – one among many.

    It’s good Wray has been trapped in his own lies, but who is going to do something about it? Another whistleblower from inside the BIden’s own cabal (business partner) went on Fox News and told all years ago. And that was flat out ignored, along with the contents of Hunter’s laptop.

    Ed Dowd & team have done the analysis on the damage that the Covid hoax has wrought, and it’s just as ugly as we thought:

    https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/bombshell-vax-analysis-finds-147-billion-economic-damage-tens-millions-injured-or-disabled

    But Tedros of the WHO wants to do a covid 2.0, this time with pustules, from what I have read (although Monkey Pox was a dud – but the jab seems to be giving folks shingles, so there’s that).

    I agree, Jim, that by necessity, we must move away from the globalism that is being forced upon us, and in the opposite direction, which is local communities and scaled-down existence. We will all be forced to learn how, or we will be relegated to what will become dystopian hell-cities full of crime and terrorist psyops.

    They’re already looking pretty bad, and the crimes are going unpunished, meaning the average Joe is going to have to learn to survive and defend himself.

    • C.O.Jones June 2, 2023 at 10:35 am #

      MaryQueen is right – today’s article is great. I’ve told several friends about JHK and this blog…

      Voters need to keep in mind just where the WHO gets their money. I’m talking about Bill Gates. Far too many people ascribe the accolade of brilliant to rich people – look at Gates, Trump, Musk et al. – none of whom are actually brilliant. Their talent is in convincing people they are brilliant which falls under the heading of marketing.

      My point: Gates is calling the shots. Acquiescing to the WHO is in effect, allowing Bill Gates to tell us we are locked down, forcibly injected and sentenced to die so he and his associates may continue on a sparsely populated planet using the non-GMO seeds he stashed at Svalbard to grow food, having eliminated the multiculturalism and diversity they pushed on the now-dead rest of us.

      Trump thinks he’s going to be one of those elite because he did his job in pushing the lockdowns – pronounced “eliminating the middle class.” The father of the clot-shot is so self unaware that he thinks he deserves to be the leader of this country and of the free world.

      Again, these guys think they’re smarter than everybody – that’s what makes them “elite.”

      Any elected person who does not push for paper ballots, voter ID and day of election results is complicit in this sh*thouse going up in flames.

        In today’s world where God is dead people have replaced God with a new god. Money. Therefore, people who have tremendous amounts of money are essentially gods. As gods these wealthy people are also endowed with massive amounts of knowledge on virtually…….EVERYTHING! Howe else can you explain that a moron like Bill Gates, who started a computer software company and then sat back and sucked immense amounts of wealth off of his underlings and their efforts, is now an expert on human vaccinations, demographics, food production systems, farming and world population challenges? He’s a software engineer for God’s sake. But, he’s wealthy and as such he knows it all. He just does. Being wealthy means he knows it all.

        Billionaires are gods. Note the use of the little “g” in reference to billionaires being gods. In my eyes these people are the scourge of society, leaches, syphoning off all the wealth of society simply because they “own” something.

          Well said, Cankerpuss. Most of these leaches made their money off government subsidies and/or favorable court decisions that slapped them on the wrist for racketeering. Trump declared bankruptcy 4 months before running for president. Their talent is in self-promotion.

          I do have to disagree on one point you made. I’ve been a coder for twenty-odd years and Gates is what is known in the trade as a noodler. Noodlers can write code that only works for them and generally have a status of “knows enough to be dangerous.” You don’t want to let a noodler near your code because they are sure to screw it up.

          Gates is a marketer. He was smart enough to take an operating system – QDOS aka Quick and Dirty Operating System – that he bought for a song, change the name to DOS – Disc Operating System – and LEASE it to IBM, not sell it. The genius is in the leasing and licensing and damn sure not the coding.

        • Yirgach June 2, 2023 at 4:49 pm #

          To call Gates a software engineer is denigrating the profession. He is a software Pirate. He promoted the “embrace and extend” method of software development, where original open software protocols and packages were stolen and then “extended” (made incompatible with the original data).
          A good example is LDAP and MS Domain.

      Jim had stated, “The “Joe Biden” regime is pretending to ignore the reality that this WHO deal is actually a treaty that would require ratification by a two-thirds vote in the senate, an unlikely outcome.”

      Um, actually, The WHO pandemic treaty is part of a two-track effort, coinciding with an initiative by the World Health Assembly (WHA) to create new global pandemic regulations that would also supersede the laws of member states. The WHA is the rule-making body of the WHO, comprised of representatives from the member states.

      A key question surrounding the accord is whether the Biden administration can bind America to treaties and agreements without the consent of the U.S. Senate, which is required under the Constitution. The zero draft concedes that, per international law, treaties between countries must be ratified by national legislatures, thus respecting the right of their citizens to consent. However, the draft also includes a clause that the accord will go into effect on a “provisional” basis, as soon as it is signed by delegates to the WHO, and therefore it will be legally binding on members without being ratified by legislatures.

      The Biden administration will take the position that this is an international executive agreement that the president can conclude of his own accord without approval by Congress, and is binding on the United States of America, including all state and local democratically elected officials, governors, attorney generals and health officials.

      There are several U.S. Supreme Court decisions that may support the Biden administration in this. They include State of Missouri v. Holland, in which the Supreme Court ruled that treaties supersede state laws. Other decisions, such as United States v. Belmont, ruled that executive agreements without Senate consent can be legally binding, with the force of treaties.

      Soooo. . . The ‘Fat Lady’ has yet to sing.

      6th Pilot Incident This Month

      March 28th, 2023

      Via: Covid Intel:

      March 22, 2023 – Southwest 613 LAS-CMH diverted as pilot collapsed shortly after take-off

      March 18, 2023 – Air Transat Flight TS739 FDF-YUL first officer was incapacitated about 200NM south of Montreal

      March 13, 2023 – Emirates Flight EK205 MXP-JFK diverted due to pilot illness hour and a half after take-off

      March 11, 2023 – United Airlines Flight 2007 GUA-ORD diverted due to “incapacitated pilot” who had chest pains

      March 11, 2023? – British Airways (CAI-LHR) pilot collapsed in Cairo hotel and died, was scheduled to fly Airbus A321 from Cairo to London

      March, 3, 2023 – Virgin Australia VA-717 ADL-PER Adelaide to Perth flight was forced to make an emergency landing after First Officer suffered heart attack 30 min after departure.

      THIS is a great example of what I’ve been trying to explain about “died suddenly”. The people who “feel fine” to this day are completely comfortable with however many vaxx shots they took because they “feel fine”. But no pilot in his right mind would board a flight that he is working if he was experience cardio symptoms. None would do it. So they were “feeling fine” when they boarded and took off. And these guys are ill or collapsing or incapacitated or dead hours later. But they “felt fine” up until the event.

      My point is because we really are seeing cases of people dying suddenly [implied without warning], WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY ASYMPTOMATIC PEOPLE WILL EVENTUALLY KEEL OVER.

      This unknown is the biggest variable in Ed Dowd’s mathematical model and he alludes to this repeatedly.

      • MaryQueen June 3, 2023 at 10:43 am #

        Thank you for posting this comment. Yes, too many sudden deaths to be coincidence. I see them reported on MSN every day. It has become the “new normal” to report that someone “died unexpectedly,” not include the cause, and then 1 month or a year publish the reason (which by then is never connected to the vax).

        The Jamie Fox fiasco might be the most public injury (and perhaps impending death) by vaxx we have, I hope he does the right thing and names the cause.

    Here locally, an obvious hotbed of MIC and globalist support due to the huge amount of money they provide, the support for Covidiocy remains on the boil, eagerly anticipating the next round of madness. In line awaiting scrips at a very small local pharmacy this week, I noticed several mask wearers and voluntary extreme social distancing, in spite of no mandates to do so. I remain perplexed at the gullibility of otherwise “intelligent” people. It would seem having survived the Covid has morphed into a “merit badge” of sorts among the faithful.

        Yeah, I agree, trust in God. But when dealing with God you must undertake a great effort to master the virtue of patience. God seems to be taking his time addressing this mess. Perhaps that is his plan. We aren’t listening to him so he simply said “screw you” and has left us to our own devices.

        Let’s face it, God gives tremendous amounts of deference to the wicked, the evil and the depraved. He permits them to have power, wealth and influence. Even at the expense and destruction of the good, the decent and the innocent.

          Canker,

          God gave us free will. He does not defer to the wicked, the evil, and the depraved.

          Patience is a great virtue, one that I have always struggled with. But it should not be equated to waiting while doing nothing. Being patient with God’s timing is one thing. Sitting around doing nothing while evil people destroy our society is an entirely different thing. The time goes faster if you are actively doing what you think God would say is right.

        Trust in God?

        God, through St. John, told us that the evil that is Man will eventually almost overcome the Word of God. Ie Jesus. The AntiChrist will be apparently victorious until God pulls off the Rapture, destroys Man’s evil, and brings benevolence to Earth.

        Could it be that people keep waiting for the goodness of God and when His non interference policy puts the responsibility of fighting evil onto the backs of humans, people just wander off in deviant directions, blaming God as they go.

        If you trust in God, you must forget about supporting the government of the USA, as it is the source of evil, not the solution.

        Any source of power is the source of evil. Trusting any government is a mistake, that is why socialism will always fail, always. The idea of a benevolent dictator is a sucker’s dream.

    I’m not too sure that the majority are on to this con. First off, I’ve noticed that the jabbed all have their heads buried deep in the sand. They avoid any topic related to public health out of fear of hearing about more coincidences. In so far as the meme war goes, the jabbed have lost and have retreated into their cave of shadows. After all, once on the train to Treblinka, there is no point in talking about what happens when the train reaches its destination.

    The same holds true on the economic side of all of this. That the IRAs and 401k will become worthless and soon is something that 99% refuse to even consider. They won’t remove their money today because a piece of paper that says they have the promise to be paid $200k at a future date is more important than having $100k today when it might actually buy something.

    I also see this with A.I. as people that have paper pushing jobs (looking at you HR, medical coders, and managers) refuse to even consider that in less than 2 years ALL of those jobs are going away.

        Greetings,

        We had a lot of eggs and put those eggs in the basket marked “people that think” rather than in the basket called “people that do”. After all, we witnessed automation decimate the factory worker and most assumed that the trend would continue towards automating anything physical.

        T.H.E.Y W.E.R.E W.R.O.N.G.

        The low-hanging fruit is actually the people that think. Take, for example, the grocery store that my daughter manages. She gambled that the company would invest in driverless trucks which would bring them their supplies and robots that would unload the trucks – she was wrong.

        The low-hanging fruit is actually her. Anything she does can be done far more efficiently by a.i. Orders, scheduling, and employee management can be done more efficiently by something that can simulate a million scenarios a second and choose the one with the best outcome over something that can only do one thing at a time.

        Robots with arms and legs and vision are expensive and cumbersome. Low-wage workers will be the eyes and arms of a.i. Anyone involved in management has their days numbered. Two years tops.

        I think about this when I think about prepping:

        Tomorrow at noon, everyone must run outside with a hammer to have an All vs All epic hammer battle. People with a supply of fresh water are exempt, though, and do not have to participate. Well, some water seems like a small price to pay to get to sit out that round of chaos.

        Day two: Everyone left alive must run outside at noon armed with a nail-studded baseball bat for an All vs All epic baseball bat battle. People with a 6 month supply of food are exempt. They get to sit out round two.

        As a prepper, I know that I will eventually have to participate in one of those battles but I want to sit out as many rounds as possible and if having some water, food, security, PMs, etc allows for me to do so then it puts the odds in my favor.

        I had a friend with whom I would often debate political issues. One day we talked about prepping for the supposed coming collapse of everything. I mentioned having food storage and asked if he was working on his food storage. He looked at me and with what could only be interpreted as “coldness” in his eyes, said, and I quote: “Why do I need to store food, I could just come get yours.” He smiled and laughed it off but deep down I knew he was serious.

        My advice? Don’t tell people about your food storage or prepper supplies. Keep it a secret. The fewer people who know the less likely you’ll be robbed or killed for your supplies.

        • Beryl of Oyl June 2, 2023 at 11:41 am #

          The only thing people know is that I’m never more than a few feet away from a weapon. I have to let anyone that comes into my house know that for safety reasons. I have to let them know that if they happen upon a weapon, it isn’t a toy and that it is loaded.

          If someone is coming over with children then I lock everything but the weapon on my person into a safe.

          If things get bad, I’m going to be the last place anyone thinks of coming to.

          As far as your “friend”, I’d let him know that if the shtf event occurs that the last time you see him will be through a 4x rifle scope.

      Nickel,

      Thanks for raising the topic again.

      I wanted to share some practical numbers. Please check my math!

      $100,000 invested in gold is 50 one oz coins weighting 3.4 pounds.

      $100,000 invested in silver (so you can worry less about paying with exact change) is 4000 one oz coins weighting 274 pounds.

      This does not address the size and weight of the fireproof safe you should have to store your metal. And do you want to store it all together or have your eggs spread across multiple baskets.

      It gets interesting when you start looking at how much money people have in their 401ks and IRAs to invest in gold or silver or a mix of the two. The practical considerations become real very quickly.

      Also, people suffer from normative bias, so there’s that.

    “That means, for instance, that the WHO would issue orders to the USA about lockdowns, vaccines, and vaccine passports and we US citizens supposedly would be compelled to follow them.”

    Not me, but tell me there won’t be many that do. They already did.

    Here’s why they’ll try it again when it comes around on the guitar…

    The actions of Kathie Breault (I apologize) legitimized their mandate. Each time someone “cheated” the mandate they gave legitimacy to the mandate. Now there’s a precedence created by Kathie and she’ll have to live with that.

          This is a weak argument. It doesn’t stand up to the moral standard we applied at Nuremburg. Who better to stand up and say, “I won’t do it,” than a qualified licensed nurse?

          I’ll throw in Religious Exemptions in this category of craven, faithless cowards, who seek permission from the state to exercise a right given to them by God Almighty. Each exemption that was denied strengthened the mandate. The outright refusal of the faithful to comply would have forced the issue out into the public square and nipped this in the bud.

          As a registered nurse, this has been my position. I flat-out refused the vaccine and told my employers why. If I had still been with Mayo, I’d have been out of a job, at that point. While there were 8 months in which I did not work, I’ve managed to stay on the job as a per diem agency nurse.

          My husband urged me to get a bogus vaccination card, but respected my position when I explained my stance. I don’t even want to give the appearance of surrender.

          • Alfred June 2, 2023 at 6:51 pm #

            The complete irony in your comment is that many of the people who wound up in those ovens were sold out by people complying with their government, and were afraid they would be unable to feed their children.

            Nobody will challenge the victims for their attempts to avoid the oven. Why wouldn’t your pharma tech (oven operator) drop all the vax? It was just the selected mothers whom he judged worthy of his transgressions against the murderous state. Why didn’t they make the stand all the way?

        ATZ942,

        I was not forced (or even asked) by anyone to take the vaxx. I work for myself and my husband and I became debt free over ten years ago. So no mortgage to stress about . We also don’t have kids, so no young people that we feel obligated to help out. So I feel as though I’ve been able to sit in the cheap seats, so to speak, and watch how others made their decisions.

        I chose not to take the vaxx for a myriad of reasons including my own experience with shingles in 2017 and the sheer lack of logic of having a mandated experimental vaxxine for a virus that kills only 0.04% of the population. It never made any sense to me, just like the shingles vaccine never made any sense to me.

        No one asked my husband to take the vaxx and yet he took two pfizer shots before acknowledging he did not like the side effects and was not taking any more. He felt so strongly about it by then, he threatened the president of his company with resignation if the guy went forward with mandating the vaxx for employees.

        I’ve been reading about Jamie Foxx, who seemed to have reservations about the vaxx shots, and yet who took them anyway. Jamie Foxx probably also doesn’t have a mortgage and is probably not sweating the bills or how to help out his kids if they need it. Why did he take it? And I believe he took multiple shots. He could have tried to falsify his medical record. Perhaps he did try that and failed, I don’t know. But my real question is why didn’t he just lay low and watch where this goes? He may have had to turn down a movie role, that is a very likely. He may have had to have a frank conversation with a producer, like Aaron Rodgers did with the NFL, where he would have to explain that he wasn’t getting the shots and it was non-negotiable, so don’t hire me to make your movie if you can’t live with that. I have nothing bad to say about Jamie Foxx. I wish him well. But he did not have his back against the wall. He was not put to a deadline for getting the shots or else lose his $70,000 per year job that he needed, like so many others were.

        More than anything, the vaxxines were a personality test, a compliance test, an intelligence test, however one wants to say it.

        And to get back to the original point, I am not going to judge people who went the route of the buying false records or paying a nurse to inject the shot into an orange they brought in with them. I’m just not going to judge that. I would sincerely hope that a person who went that route would not be publicly urging others to get the vaxx after dodging it themselves. But I am absolutely certain some politicians fall into this category, may they rot in hell.

THEN their “fake compliance” WITH the MURDEROUS STATE was used to beat the rest of us over the head to make us comply. How utterly selfish of them to find a way out and leave the rest of us holding the bag. What did they think when people who did take a stand lost everything? “Sucks to be them,” I bet.

            “First option is always to run.” ~ badberries

            Running from any predator triggers their “prey drive” instinct. That’s why children are taught not to run from dogs – same for adults.

            Run from any predatory system in today’s society – which they all are – they’ll see you as prey and they’ll come for you.

            In a fight-or-flight situation, we all have a personal choice. Given reasonable odds, I’d fight any day.

      I certainly read a lot about this, but cannot give chapter and verse.

      The speculation, I believe, is/was that the jab weakens the immune system, and this is an opportunity for shingles (caused by a Herpes virus) to reassert itself when the body’s defenses are down.

      Just as a weakened body is more susceptible to any type of disease.

      The Herpes virus does not leave the body when an outbreak is cured. It hides out in the spinal cord and symptoms reappear when the person is run down. Same with cold sores, by the way.

      • Night Owl June 2, 2023 at 4:14 pm #

        Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi (a renowned epidemiologist) has talked a lot about this.

        The spikes are produced by the body, as the shot programs them to do so. The spikes then wreak havoc on internal organs, the blood, and anything they come into contact with.

        This is why the causes of death and injury is rather varied. Some items (like myocarditis) are common, but others less so.

        Whatever weakness the body has will be exploited in time; and of course the number of shots on has taken will determine the speed at which the body breaks down.

        I thought 14% of the Pfizer trial participants got shingles.

        A geographically distant friend of mine (from school days) whom I haven’t seen for years mentioned that last year she got shingles on her leg and her husband got cancer. Two of my former colleagues died earlier this year from fast-track cancers and, in one case, organ failure after a cancer operation.

        Lots more sepsis around too. And an increase in allergies like hay fever. My husband, in addition to his post-booster collapse, has become lactose intolerant and intolerant of FODMAPs (don’t ask).

    Morning Jim – excellent prose & your usual thought-provoking analysis of where we are, and always a voice of reason. Thanks as always.

    Trust horizon, yes. State lines maybe? Especially for border states – as related to all illegal immigration.

    “There’s reason to wonder these days whether the USA has the mojo to remain a unified national polity of states.” ~ JHK

    ^This^ – internal migration within the US is problematic as well – some states are clearly poisoned. There’s a political pandemic here as well, some states wanting to remain healthy & escape the woke sickness.

    Trust horizon at the state lines & maybe even county lines. Re-localization yes, a good thing.

When I was a kid, North Carolina was represented by Jesse Helms and Jon East, the two most based US senators of the past century.

            RD – you’re exactly right. Asheville, NC – the first city in the US to codify & fund reparations. Asheville, currently under some citywide 60-day “state of emergency” on crime.

            They defunded their police – so now 18 officers vs. 30 before – if memory serves, now 1 LEO for each 46K residents. Not good math.

            Western NC (read Asheville) is bad, but eastern NC even worse. As you so colorfully say, a mecca for “half-backers, Yankee fucks, and third-world pygmies”. Love it.

    Speaking of who can be trusted, RFK Jr. made a Twitter post about corruption in government, featuring Donald Trump.

    I understand criticism of Donald Trump related to all things vaxx full well.

    I thought that in this instance it was not completely justified, however.

    As many commenters remarked, and as people I have talked to about this have said, owning stock in Pfizer and J&J is very common among the wealthy. That proves nothing.

    As for contributions to Trump’s inauguration, who don’t they give money to?

    TBF, Bobby does say this is common and also legal.

    It’s what he doesn’t say that was making me think.

    He is, right now, running as a Democrat to win his party’s nomination.

    Doesn’t that mean he is running against Joe Biden?

    So why is he using an example of “legalized bribery” to talk about corruption, with the Biden family’s dirty laundry once again front and center in the news?

    Someone in the replies asked the question that was forming in the back of my mind-

          I far as I know, we have no Mormons around here, though there are many RLDS. (I have heard Mormons jokingly referred to as “Brighamites.”) The Mormons were driven out of Missouri, as they were from some other places where they had settled, one notable instance being the Hawn’s Mill Massacre in northern Missouri. Of course, to be fair, Mark Twain recounted the Mormon massacre (apparently for no reason) against settlers moving west, which occurred in Nevada in 1857.

          Local RLDS seem genuinely devout. They used to be pretty firmly in political control of Independence, Missouri, where there is a Mormon Temple upon the top of which (I have been told) Jesus will alight upon his return. I don’t see much indication that they still control Independence, which seems to get trashier every time I go there. The RLDS used to impose rules such as keeping the Playboy Magazines under the counter. (They could not be openly displayed.)

          There seems to be a little bit of a “woo-woo” element among the RLDS, as some at least are into space aliens and such. Or maybe I have just chanced across some weird ones.

    “That trend will become increasingly evident as things organized at the giant scale start to implode — giant retail chains, medical behemoths, hedge funds, big banks, you name it.”

    Possibly, but why would the oligarchs care? In fact, surely they would benefit from it. They have their own private doctors, medical staff, medicines, access to surgery centers, private hospitals, etc. Why would they care if the entire “healthcare” system ceased to exist? Average folks would start dying off by the millions. Oh well, big win for the elites. Food and consumer goods are no longer available. Oh well. More people die. Another huge win.

    I think any of us are stuck in an old business mindset where corporations are trying to “return wealth to shareholders” or some other such nonsense. The real stakeholders have all the wealth that they could ever dream of and they can create more money out of thin air if they ever need to. What they really want is to expand their power and control and close their grip on finite resources. The best way to do this is to eliminate as many people as possible, especially the middle and upper-middle classes.

    One thing that is rarely talked about is the incredible and increasing pace at which private land in this country is being taken up by the government and pseudo-governmental organizations. Through tax breaks and misplaced feelings of do-gooding, hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of acres of private land are being donated to or purchased by “conservancy” organizations or directly to state and federal governments. Many states have laws against using tax money to buy private land. The end around is that some charitable “conservancy” organization use public grant money and money from wealthy people, trusts, etc. to buy up private land. They then either warehouse this land and make it off limits, or they turn and donate it for expansion of parks, game lands, etc. The net result is that the available private land in this country is shrinking rapidly. Add urban sprawl into the equation, and the rural lands available to own are shrinking at an even faster pace. Of course, dwindling supply and massive inflation have resulted in a situation where the price of a few acres of hunting or recreation land are now beyond the means of most people. Twenty years ago, I almost bought a 150-acre mountainside with a beautiful stream. The price was about $800/acre. That land now is $5,000 an acre, and the mineral rights have been severed.

      I checked into how much land in Missouri is owned by the government.

      The US government owns 1.4 million acres.
      The Missouri Department of Conservation owns 460,000 acres.
      The State of Missouri owns more than 3 million acres.
      The state park service owns over 80,000 acres.
      TOTAL: 4.94 million acres.

      The largest private landowners are:
      Ted Turner, 149,000 acres,
      Bill Gates, 260,000 acres, and
      Pioneer Forest, 146,000 acres.
      TOTAL: 555,000 = .555 million acres.

      TOTAL of these two comes to about 5.5 million acres. The total land area of Missouri is 45 million acres. So about 10% of Missouri land is onwe by the state or federal government, and about another 2.2% is owned by large private landowners, for a total of 12.2%.

      I guess that about 10% government ownership of land is not a lot, compared to many states. I understand that the western lands have the highest percentage of government-owned land.

      RD,

      From my execution of a 1031 Exchange in 2022 (I converted a rental house into vacant land), I agree with your pricing per acre. Today, in various midwest regions, it averages $4,000 – $9,000. The higher end is going to be productive farm acres with good soil. The lower end will be forested with various qualities of trees. The presence and quality of outbuildings and water accounts for most of the rest of the price range.

      I felt I aged 3 years in the 45 days allotted to identify the replacement property for the 1031 Exchange. All I did was drive around flyover country and look at land for 45 days.

      • RD June 3, 2023 at 8:13 pm #

        My understanding is that most 1031’s are undertaken to fully depreciate a property and then move into a new property which can then be depreciated. Is that the case? How does that work with land?

    Excellent post today, JHK! Boy have you hit the nail on the head. I think everyone, even the stupid thugs in the street can sense deep in their gut that things are amiss in this Nation, in the world. The stupid people can’t identify it and try their best to hide from it by spending their time immersed in television and sports but they sense it as well.

    Some of my observations:

    I live in the Rocky Mountains of Utah and a small single level two bedroom rambler where I live is selling now for $400K. A 30 year mortgage on a loan of this size with a 6% interest rate is a payment around $2500.00 a month. The average personal income in the State of Utah is $62K a year. You do the math. People can’t afford homes anymore. That is going to collapse.

    Want to buy a 3/4 ton truck? A new one without any fancy bells and whistles will run $60k. A used one will cost even more. Who can afford to buy a truck making $62K a year?

    I’m trying to hire new employees with technical skills, nobody will apply. Where have all the workers gone?

    Credit card debt is soaring. it is estimated that American credit card debt of privately citizens is above $17 TRILLION. That is unsecured debt. Yet, people are spending the same now as they did during low inflation days. They are putting it all on their credit cards.

    We are living in a society that is built on debt and fake money. Both of these are lies. Lies cannot stand. They will FAIL. Those who have based their lives on debt and fake money will FAIL with it. Let’s face it, everything about western society is a lie.

    Americans live in debt and act like they own everything when in reality they are slaves to their lenders.

    American women are fake. They adorn themselves with cosmetics, color their hair in unnatural colors, get fake boobs, inject their lips and make their asses unnaturally huge. Liars!

    American gyms are full of men who, because they no longer work hard jobs like real men used to, go to the gym, take steroids and growth hormones to bulk up their muscles to make themselves look like a man. Sure, they have big muscles but they use chemicals to get there. Fake. Liars.

    The music industry is dead to real talent. Rarely now do we hear a true beautiful human voice in a large entertainment venue. The human voice is amazing because it is not perfect and the voice may waiver, crack or miss a note. Now it’s all autotuned. We can all hear it. Disney musicals are nothing but autotune. New music is nothing more than a bass beat with some hip-hop poetry added to it. Gone are the bands that had guitar players, drummers, keyboardists and real vocalists. Even our music is fake. Liars.

    Our food is fake, full of fertilizers, hormones, and genetic manipulations. Food has no nutritional value anymore. Just look at all the massively obese Americans. Fake.

    Our healthcare providers are now ignoramuses who peddle pills for their pharmaceutical bosses and insurance providers. Fake. Liars.

    Art today is nothing more than some asshole smearing his own shit on someone else’s picture of Jesus Christ. Fake.

    Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Snap Chat enable American men and women to post the perfect picture of their perfect family and their perfect life when in reality they are now divorced and their kids are hopped up on Ritalin, the parents are on anti-depressants or dope and they are contemplating suicide. A far cry from the image of happiness they post for everyone else to see. Fake. Liars.

    Americans have no friends because, thanks to technology, they have lost the art form of interpersonal communication. I try to make new friends at Church but after I have peppered my “new friend” with 5 or 6 questions and they have no follow up questions but instead sit there like a stupid deer in the headlights of an oncoming vehicle, I give up.

    Our churches are busted. They are afraid to preach the true gospel of Jesus Christ or God, whatever you want to call him/her. Sensitive issues such as homosexuality, transgenderism, debt financed living are rarely spoken of.

    You all know how are Governments and justice systems are functioning these days.

    It’s bad. It’s all a lie. Everything in western society is a lie.

    No, JHK is spot on. The decay and rot are all around us. Many of us are aware and want to do something but we don’t know what to do. I’m one of them. Sorry but my 9MM won’t stop a mob. My 9mm won’t stop an Apache helicopter. I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again. I will always keep one last round in the chamber of my 9MM as my way out when things have finally reached a state of ultimate despair. I don’t fear death but I do fear what TBP and the stupid people of the world will unleash upon us. I will not force myself to live through it.

    God bless JHK for his words. I wish more would listen.

      There is nothing decent folks can do. It’s in God’s hands now.

      • Cankerpuss June 2, 2023 at 11:00 am #

        And where is God? Does God care? Is there really a God? How long can God stand by and permit evil to permit the lies and evil to flourish? Is God off playing golf? Or did God just wash God’s hands and walk away from it all leaving us to our own devices?

        I’m getting tired of hoping God will sort it out because, frankly, God doesn’t appear to be doing much. Maybe that’s God’s plans. We made our own mess, now we get to sit in it.

        • RD June 2, 2023 at 11:08 am #

          The only thing that prevents me from complete despair is knowledge that despair is the only sin which cannot be forgiven because it shows denial of God. Also, I know that our reward is not of this world, no matter how we might toil and suffer here.

          Each of us, including all of the evil people of the world, were given free will. They chose to use it for evil and will burn in Hades for eternity. Consciously, or unconsciously, they all know this, too. That is why they scratch and claw as hard as they can to stay alive for as long as possible and why they are constantly trying to prove that God doesn’t exist. As to why God has not returned? He doesn’t operate on our timetable.

          • RD June 2, 2023 at 11:14 am #

            I heard a joke one time that made me chuckle:

            A Baptist preacher has grown tired of God not speaking to him. He prays every day that God will talk to him, but he never gets an answer. After years of prayer, he is close to giving up. The next morning, the phone rings in his office. His secretary picks it up. After a few seconds of conversation, she looks at the preacher and says “I’ve got some good news and some bad news.” The preachers asks what the good news is. She replies “Its God calling.” Impatiently, he asks what could possibly be the bad news. She replies: “He’s calling from Salt Lake City.”

          • Cankerpuss June 2, 2023 at 12:00 pm #

            You mentioned free agency. Loved your comment about Salt Lake City. As a member of the religion that is headquartered in Salt Lake City, that little joke makes me smile. Free agency is the only explanation that makes any sense as to why a benevolent God gives so much deference to the wicked, evil and depraved. Free agency is a law given to all by God. If God were to deny any of his subjects or creations free agency he would be disobedient to his own laws and as such a hypocrite. Who would want to worship a God that cannot keep or honor his own laws. As such evil is permitted to flourish. But even free agency has to have its limitations.
            God intervened once and caused a great flood. He is prophesied in Revelation that he will intervene again. Hence the reason that, although I often question what God is doing, I still put my faith and hope that one day God, in his infinite wisdom, will put an end to this evil and finally bring justice upon the heads of the evildoer and wretched of heart. And thus, I keep pressing forward.

            Good comments by the way.

          • AmericanObserver June 2, 2023 at 12:26 pm #

            The virtue signaling of the religious and conservative. “I won’t fight for myself or what’s right, but when Jesus 2.0 shows up to do it for me I’ll be cheering Him on all the way”.

            For evil to triumph, good men only need to stand by idle. And we currently are standing around, thumbs in asses, hoping for divine intervention on a global scale.

          • messianicdruid June 2, 2023 at 12:30 pm #

            The real joke rotates around my favorite question, “if god could save everyone, would He do it.”

            None of this was required, our own rebellion is whooping our arse.

            It reminds me of rubbing a sore on the back of your hand with a pencil eraser because your tough 6 year old buddy did it to himself.

            When “God” revealed that Blacks were human, Mitt heard the news while driving. He stopped by the side of the road and wept.

            Then he went out the next day and got himself one of them. God rewards the diligent and prosperous. Why wait for the rush?

          • messianicdruid June 2, 2023 at 1:06 pm #

            Free Agency goes deeper:

            (1) When God created beings with free will, did He not know that they would start doing evil things? (2) Is a Creator not responsible for that which He creates? (3) Why would a good and all-knowing God create either spiritual or physical beings with the capability of doing evil things?

          • Jarek June 2, 2023 at 1:23 pm #

            Good questions. All will be saved in the very End – even Satan. He played his part of tempter, should he not return to his Father as well. He is the ultimate prodigal son.

            Nothing less is acceptable to a good God, a God whose very nature is Goodness and yes, Knowledge.

          • Edge Lord June 2, 2023 at 2:38 pm #

            The Cathars got around this irreconcilable conundrum, as did mithraics, as did Jewish mystics

            Is god willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
            Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
            Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
            Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him god?

            If this is the origin story you subscribe to, well, you were not created by god.

            Call him by his name, Yaldabaoth

          • Anthea June 2, 2023 at 10:30 pm #

            I think the traditional view is that God withholds punishment against the evil people because of divine mercy. This is perhaps a good thing, when you consider how much evil is done by the average person.

            Try, for example, to make yourself pray for the various bad or really bad people you have known, living or dead, over your lifetime. It can be quite a struggle to merely refuse to wish them evil. Sometimes it’s a struggle to avoid wishing to shoot them. And if you’re honest with yourself, you know you’ve done some pretty awful things–and may still be doing them. There are plenty of people around who are every bit as bad as, say, Hillary Clinton, but whose ability to do evil is much more limited in scope.

            At Fatima, we were advised to add the prayer, “Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy,” to the rosary.

            The solutions to the US’s problems are, IMHO, not political. Alexis de Tocqueville said, “America is great because America is good.” The real problem is that it’s not so good any more.

          • Anthea June 2, 2023 at 10:32 pm #

            @ Jarek:

            The view that even Satan (and his angels) will be saved is contrary to traditional Church teaching.

          • Jarek June 3, 2023 at 1:03 am #

            Thomas Merton, a great scholar if not a great Catholic, found the idea in the writings of the Desert Fathers.

            Also the general idea that all will be saved is found, especially in the great Eastern Fathers, especially Syrian.

      The psychopaths are positively salivating at the prospect of millions of people killing themselves. Of course, the psychopaths are just reflections of their master, Satan, the ancient enemy of humanity who hates you, me, and each human being with the burning fury of a billion suns. And those who murder themselves risk spending all of eternity with that demon, and no way out.

      Well Canker, I almost didn’t see your post as I look at 2, maybe 3 screens of replies before moving on.

      Our Host has decided not to include viewer ‘rating’ a comment. Fair enough. It’s his blog, his call. But over-all, I find that the ‘rating’ system does usually accurately reflect what the sensible majority honestly think. So it’s useful.

      The answer then, is for me to plough through all 3, 4, 700+ replies, so as not to miss your most valuable comment?

      Nope. That’s an unfair imposition on my time (it’s MY time and I set fairly strict guidelines; otherwise, I’d be on-line 24 hours per day as this is one of many reports/items/blogs that I follow)

      It’s also unfair to you, Canker as you made the most important comment of the day, and I almost didn’t see it.

      It’s likely that you, Canker won’t see this, as the caravan has moved on. But our Host will (I’m making an assumption that every comment passes his eagle eye) …and that’s who it’s aimed at.

      Canker,
      I agree with your screed. Full disclosure, I color my hair. But I haven’t made a new friend, in real life, in years. This is partially due to my living in the wrong state and partially because my efforts to make friends appear about as successful as yours.

      I love to buy art from the 1800s. They knew what art really is. Sometime during the 1900’s (I’m looking at you Andy Warhol) art became something else.

      I’m sitting on a beautiful Saturday morning, with my cup of coffee, in view of a landscape painting of Derbyshire, England from 1857, and listening to Arban’s “Variations on Casta Diva”. Soon I’ll go outside and prune my rose bushes.

      But for now, I’m visiting with my virtual friends on CFN and enjoying every minute of it.

    You can trust the fact that the RNA injections will not go away. The Covid con was the opening salvo in the race to create RNA injections as the new form of medical treatment for disease states. Since Big Medicine and Big Pharma run the show and have the $$$ to influence the direction of medicine, not for good health but profit, the show will go on and the clowns in DC will just continue their circus act. The experts that understand the great risks involved and the fact we now have the capacity to exterminate life itself without a nuclear warhead will continue to be ignored as billions and billions are invested in creating plants to produce the injections for all to enjoy! Moderna is leading the pack and is building plants around the world to serve the cause. One world government will decide who lives and who dies when they release their next virus. The new Federal budget has 5 Billion dollars ear marked to give to companies that are in this race to create more injections of RNA that reprograms cellular function and reprograms the blue print of life which is the DNA.

        @ Cankerpuss:

        That’s a paraphrase from Rudyard Kipling’s poem, “If”:

        If you can keep your head when all about you
        Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
        If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
        But make allowance for their doubting too;
        If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
        Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
        Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
        And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

        If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
        If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
        If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
        And treat those two impostors just the same;
        If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
        Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
        Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
        And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

        If you can make one heap of all your winnings
        And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
        And lose, and start again at your beginnings
        And never breathe a word about your loss;
        If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
        To serve your turn long after they are gone,
        And so hold on when there is nothing in you
        Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

        If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
        Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
        If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
        If all men count with you, but none too much;
        If you can fill the unforgiving minute
        With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
        Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
        And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

He watches the mainstream news every night and undoubtedly believes that the government, military, and media – while corrupt and wasteful to a degree – still are all full of inherently well-meaning patriotic people who are interested in objective truth, care about average folks, generally don’t lie, and are working to make things better. He literally can’t comprehend the galactic levels of mendacity, grift, duplicity and deception that our elite gormless politicians and media are engaging in. I’m sure he doesn’t believe in a “deep state” or understand that the military-industrial complex is draining us financially, or that our fascist government now openly colludes with Big Tech to censor people and opinions it doesn’t like. I love my dad, but it’s really sad.

    It is my opinion that a very wrong conclusion is being drawn form the events leading up to the planned demolition.

    When people find their money is worthless, their job nonexistent, the food scarce, the energy unavailable or intermittent, the law & order abandoned, the next engineered pestilence more potent and deadly they are not going to retreat and become riverboat captains, plowmen, and countryside peddlers.

    They are going to submit to who and whatever offers succor to the aforementioned.

    A digital currency, a cure, energy, UBI, discipline.

    This is how it happens. As it always has.
    As it is foretold.

      “They are going to submit to who and whatever offers succor to the aforementioned.”

      Yep, because most people have dependent children at some point in their life. Psychopaths know that all you have to do to get a person to do anything you want is threaten their children.

      And it doesn’t have to be with direct violence against the children. It can be, “Take this injection or we fire you,” and then the employee has no way to buy food and clothes and medical care for their children, and may lose the house they live in. So the employee submits to the jab and HOPES they won’t be one of the (what they mistakenly think is rare) unlucky ones.

      We just saw that, times millions.

          • Heartlander June 2, 2023 at 6:12 pm #

            Mother to two young men here. Neither of them jabbed. Older one is married. His beautiful young wife, with whom he was planning to have children, got the vaxx in March 2021. I only found out after the fact. I hadn’t even dreamed such a fit, healthy young woman would even be considering it, or I would have troed to move heaven and earth to talk her out of it. When I heard of it later, I cried my heart out, day after day, for at least two weeks.

            All I can do is pray that her particular injection was a “dud.”

            At the time, I couldn’t understand why my son didn’t put his foot down and stop her from getting it. I think he didn’t know how bad the thing was, or he would have prevented it somehow.

            But now, after all the stories I’ve heard of wussified men submitting to their wives’ demands to get the vaxx, I’m just thankful that she didn’t force her own decision on him too.

            Unfortunately, the likely infertility, miscarriages, or birth defects it will cause, if it was not a dud, will affect both of them tremendously.

          • Ron Anselmo June 4, 2023 at 9:56 am #

            Heart – Hang in there mom. I also hope your son and his wife will be able to have children & raise a family.

            The intended depopulation outcome of the “vaccines” operates on several different vectors – disability & death for some, infertility for others – same ultimate result – less peeps.

        As I recall, as an avid mud pie maker circa 1968 or so, really good additions are standing water (for thickness) and twigs, for extra fiber. You can add a gravel topping, but that’s more for looks. No one wants to break their teeth, etc.

    On the brighter side, Dr. Asseem Malhotra believes the mRNA vaxx is going to be suspended pending inquiry.

    • John001 June 3, 2023 at 11:37 am #

      I like Aseem Malhotra – he wrote a good book on the Meditteranean diet – but I think he can be overoptimistic. If the jab’s about to be suspended, why did the Tory party expel Andrew Bridgen MP rather than give him a fair hearing?

      Andrew Bridgen said after being suspended that he was repeatedly asked what he’d accept in order to shut up about the subject. My betting is that mRNA goes on for the time being. The UK government has offered Murderna ££££ to set up a factory making the stuff, after all.

  32. Beryl of Oyl June 2, 2023 at 11:48 am #

    Also on the brighter side, it has been pointed out to me that we have just seen and empire collapse and start to come back in near record time.

    That’s half the problem over in Ukraine- many Ukrainians are afraid it WILL come back in it’s entirety.

    That’s made them easy marks for the predators in our government.

    Another great essay by JHK. Hope everyone likes their new Chinese technocratic authoritarian overlords, because that’s who our elites sold us out to and who they intend to deliver us to, lock, stock, and barrel to. The Chinese just spent the last 2-3 decades buying our entire country, and they intend to take delivery of the assets. It’s getting close. We’re almost there. The last steps are the collapsing of the existing financial system and a cover “war to protect democracy” against China.

    • Cankerpuss June 2, 2023 at 12:10 pm #

      Will it be any worse than what we have now?

      • Heartlander June 2, 2023 at 2:36 pm #

        OH, YEAH.

        Read a little Chinese history, especially 20th-century.

        China was deep into transgenic stuff and chimeras three decades ago. Now they are leading the way on “transhumanist” shit. Why do you think Gates, Musk, and Schwab love China so much?

        They’re leading the way on quantum computing, which will power up the AI/digital-biometric-ID/total-surveillance panopticon to a degree most cannot even fathom.

        Remember that leaked tape of the top Chinese defense official years ago who said that the goal for China was to have the North American landmass — but without the North Americans in it?

        My only hope — and yeah, it’s an unlikely fantasy — is that they might decide to split it with Russia. I would be just fine with Russia occupying the central U.S. — Texas to North Dakota, with Arkansas and Missouri added in. It could even be a decent fit, socially and culturally. Russia is a Christian country now (arguably more Christian than the U.S.). And unlike Chinese (at least for most of us), the Russian language is actually learnable.

      The Chinese do not need a war, or a financial collapse.

      Look around, the US is not the US of even thirty years ago. It is already most of the way converted to CCP ideals. Watch the globalist movements hook up with the CCP and Putin to just absorb the USA using economics. The Leftist drift of the US citizenship will cause the conversion.

      BTW, has anyone considered the possibility that Fauci et al, the global virologists, may be designing further strains of common viruses to “let escape” and cause future pandemics. Are their predictions of the same just common knowledge amongst the billionaire intelligentsia and their plans to destroy humanity?

        Of course they are working on more gain-of-function pathogens to let loose on us.
        What else are those 300+ bioweapons labs around the world for?

        And of course they can predict which ones they will release next. They aren’t psychic, they are psychopaths.

        Please note that when Russia invaded Ukraine last Feb. they made a beeline for the bioweapons labs, in order to secure them.

        Americans may be clueless dumbasses about the labs, but the Russians are not.

        “Remember that leaked tape of the top Chinese defense official years ago who said that the goal for China was to have the North American landmass — but without the North Americans in it?”

        I’ve never seen this quote before, but for some time it has looked as if our government’s goal is to deliver us, bound, to the Chinese.

        Getting rid of us through biological warfare is too risky. It takes out too many of your own. That’s why the vax is the real bioweapon.

        I will say that I’m not sure the Chinese necessarily want to occupy the entire US. (It’s kind of a big place.) Also, “the entire North American landmass” includes Canada and Mexico. Mexico may be more desirable in terms of food production.

        • Jarek June 3, 2023 at 1:09 pm #

          They have over a billion people. They need lebensraum. And remember, large parts of North America have little to offer, at least in terms of living there, being too dry or too cold.

      • Anthea June 3, 2023 at 2:06 pm #

        I’ll tell you what I think, for what it’s worth. 

        This war is for land and resources. Ukraine is a region of imensely valuable agricultural land. Russia has immense resources in just about everything. The US also has immense resources. This game is about grabbing resources, not destroying them–and to a great extent about grabbing the resources of both Ukraine and Russia. 

        It isn’t sensible to use nukes–for anybody. You obviously don’t win all the marbles by making them radioactive and unusable for a half a million years (or whatever it is). 

        Now, Russia may not particularly want or need US resources, but China would like to grab them. (There’s a discussion above about that.) I don’t know how Russia would feel about China taking control of the US. They might or might not like it, and analyzing this is above my pay grade. 

        The question in my mind is whether Russia could destroy the chief Western power centers using regular old missiles or by some other means. If our government weren’t a bunch of complete morons, they would be thinking the same way about Ukraine/Russia. Of course it could be that the US military simply doesn’t have the hardware for that, and is thus not considering such a strategy. 

        Here’s what I’d do, if I were Russia (in collaboration with China, assuming they are really that chummy). 

        The Western financial system is on the verge of imploding. This will cause turmoil throughout the entire Westerm world–maybe soon, maybe in a couple of years. BRICS seems somewhat iffy at the moment, but maybe China has some means (or potential means) of triggering that–kind of choosing the time. If not, they are doubtless angling to be in that position. 

        So: wait for (or trigger) Western financial collapse. When things are in a fairly advanced stage of meltdown, launch a combination of conventional missile attacksand EMP attacks on Western power centers. Some here have listed these power centers. I think they would include DC, London, NYC, and maybe Tel Aviv. I say “maybe” Tel Aviv, because Israel will be toast without US money anyway. There are probably a number of other US cities that it would be of strategic value to take out, such as Chicago and LA, but that would mainly serve the purpose of making the US more managable after the Chinese takeover. 

        So: China takes over the US, and probably also Canada and Mexico. The drug cartels will be their foot soldiers. They’re already best buds with China anyway–and the cartels largely rule Mexico already. China will make the cartels their proxy/puppet rulers of the US (on a short leash). At that point, the strategy will be to kill off as much of the US population as possible. The conquest may be incremental, and there may be large areas they won’t want to bother with, at least until a later date. 

        No need to worry about the Chinese subduing the US military. It is not only toothless, it’s on China’s side–as is the US federal government. 

        As for Russia, their role would be to simply look on in bemusement, as their enemies are utterly destroyed. Then Russia takes over all of Ukraine. Europe is in ruins, its salvation being that nobody wants it except the newly installed caliphates. Israel ceases to exist.

    Rob Reiner’s role as “Meathead’ is a clever wink to the grand plan.

    Intermarries into the established patriarchy, and once there he never ceases to erode it from the inside. Disharmony, disorder, and manufactured controversy.

    I suspect that within 2 years, we won’t care much about opinions and plans of the likes of Nazi Klaus Schwab or the UCLA drop out, and know it all moron, Reiner. Or, even the insanities of the biden show and its bizarre minions. “OUR” house of reps just passed a debt deal bill that allows UNLIMITED spending between now and Jan1, 2025. UNLIMITED! (There were BS ‘cuts’ of a few billion$ here and there and little more) Read the bill. Mind blowing. This is rhyming with 1920’s Weimar to an eerie extent.

    Hyperinflation, from UD$ worldwide rejection (ongoing and accelerating now), the BRICS+ take over as the world reserve currency, combined with UNLIMITED congressional spending, will result in US cultural and social degeneration that will make current LA, NY and SF look like parks. This degeneration will spread out of the cities and into formerly stable (red) states with much blowback. I will be shocked if the US Corporation remains intact and integrated with its present arrangement of states by the end of 2025/26. Then again, as Gerald Celente says, ‘when nothing else works, THEY will always take us to war.’

      Speaking of Mr Reiner. Someone should point out to him that the Rob Reiner of 2023 embraces everything the Rob Reiner of 1973 despised.

      Things like the deep state, intell agencies, and military industrial complex, the Davos elitists and international banking cartel, also any body private or public which suppresses free speech.

        The Rob Reiner of 1973 had no money or power, but wanted it more than anything.

Let’s say the rest of the world forms a tight union against the US, totally defeats our military, and goes through the entire USA with a very fine strainer to separate out all the trouble makers. Then the former managerial class here gets packed and stuffed into all the cruise ships that had been idle for a long time during WWIII. And they are all taken to either China or Russia where they will serve as slaves in agriculture for the rest of their lives.

      My clinic’s pharmacy manager tells me that all of or suppliers are distributing from old warehouse supplies, as nothing new is coming in (i.e. from China who provides/provided 85-90% of all US drugs). This was in response to a conference yesterday morning where I asked why we’re getting delays on multiple classes of medicine and we’re getting tightly rationed on specific meds (e.g. lidocaine, critical for joint and spinal injections). He says this is also happening to the big external pharmacies (one starts with C and another W), but they won’t admit it for fear of customers leaving to other smaller pharmacies, erroneously thinking the mom and pops are better off; they are not!

Pride Month started yesterday, and no time was wasted to begin the festivities, with solemn & joyous flag raising ceremonies — the Pride Flag — in every town, village & city in the State, including at the Capitol Dome in Hartford. Not to be outdone, the Congregational Church on the Green has draped itself in an enormous Pride banner. Anybody who is anybody, it seems, is “Balls-in” for Pride Month, including the local Board of Ed, who is sponsoring a Pride Parade at the High School. This is big! This is what 4th of July must have been like in the 19th century before the Civil War, and Independence Day was the only national holiday. It all culminates in a massive LBGQT parade near the end of the month in Middletown. Expectations are thru the roof; you can bet your ass that our Dem Governor & two Dem Senators will be in attendance, and not only in attendance but on the reviewing stand. Something for everybody in the Middletown Pride Parade, including the little ones. Yes, bring the kids, they’ll especially like the float with men dressed as cowboys but wearing assless leather chaps. Who doesn’t like a cowboy? Oh, and there are the Disco Trannies dancing to popular classics from the 70s, tossing candy to little ones along the parade route. That’s always a fan favorite.

          This sounds very very much similar to what I’m reading in “Culture and Inflation in Weimar;” with total degeneracy in a majority of theaters, clubs and restaurants an in the frequent Berlin and Munich parades. Next step will be homosexual AND hetero sex acts on the floats in the parades for all to see. Welcome to Sodom and Gomorrah.

            There is a book, published in 1965, about the–of course, fictional–Chinese conquest of the US. It is “White Lotus,” by John Hersey. I read it in, I think, 1965, and didn’t understand it at all. Hence, I can’t tell you much about it, except that the main character was an Arizona girl who was enslaved and sent to China.

            For one thing, the idea of a Chinese conquest of the US was so far out there as to make the book’s whole premise incomprehensible to a high school kid. Current reviews suggest that it’s mostly about civil disobendience.

        e.g. lidocaine, – neurodoc

        ==========

        Funny you should mention lidocaine. I had surgery performed today on my upper eyelids to expand my field of vision. The surgeon injected lidocaine into my lids to numb them…hurt quite a bit going in.

        The surgery took an hour or more after which I laid in a near horizontal position with very tight pressure packs squeezing the eye sockets to reduce any blood flow.

        As this numbing agent wore off there was a distinct burning sensation for 30 to 60 mins. On the way home (Bo was driving) I would press gauze into my eye sockets for 2 mins on and two off all the way home from Princeton.

        Once home I began to apply ice packs on and off and will continue to do so thru the night. My black eyes look like I lost a fist fight or I’m related to a Panda bear. I will be able to drive by Monday and the sutures will be removed Thursday.

        My kids are accusing me of having this plastic surgery to improve my already fantastic facial appearance. 🙂 But no, it is to correct a case of old man droopy eyelids.

        • Q. Shtik June 3, 2023 at 2:08 am #

            Perhaps we should all learn how to do our own dental surgery. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

            I used to take whisky for severe toothache. Never did I think it would turn out to be possibly less dangerous than novocaine.

            Actually, based on my own case, fairly high-dose vitamin D (3,000 IU per day, all year in the UK) seems to stop further deterioration in one’s teeth.

            But of course, good dental health and good jaw formation would put all these dentists and orthodontists out of work. See work of Weston Price, c. 100 years ago.

          • Anthea June 3, 2023 at 2:15 pm #

            Echinacea, in sufficiently large doses, will kill most toothaches. (Your teeth will just painlessly rot out of your head.) The capsules you can get at Walmart are very weak, and it seems to me they’ve gotten a lot weaker in the past few years. So you need to make your own tincture. You can buy Echinacea root on Etsy. You can also easily grow it yourself and harvest the root during the second year, at the earliest. Harvest the roots, wash them, and chop them up. Put the chopped-up root in a quart jar, filling it about 1/3 full with chopped root. Fill the jar with vodka, cap, and wait about a month. You now have Echinacea tincture. If you need to take Echinacea sooner than that, just wash down some of the chopped root, like pills.

            A toothache can sometimes be soothed by smearing castor on on your face, over the afflicted part of the jaw.

            I’d take the anaesthesia then splash out on one of the treatments recommended to remove the graphene oxide from my bloodstream. Dr Ana Mihalcea is knowledgeable on these matters.

            I will doubtless need to have some dental anaesthesia before that anyway.

            John,

            Vitamin D is very good for teeth. Even better is to eat minimal amounts of refined sugar and processed food.

            I go to the dentist about once every 10-11 years. To date, I have had only two cavities–both when I was a kid and knew nothing about the dangers of processed sugars.

        This is a slightly off topic pharmacy comment. I have been moving my dad into assisted living last week and had to stop by a mom-and-pop compounding pharmacy in his red state. We were looking for showroom space for scooters and this pharmacy was supposed to have it. I took time out of my visit to stop at the pharmacy to ask if they will honor prescriptions for ivermectin. They won’t. I was floored.

        • Ron Anselmo June 4, 2023 at 3:13 am #

          Continued off topic: Mrs. – stop listening to/depending upon Big Pharma and their agents. Ivermectin – vet grade is fine and back on the shelves. Bought mine in March 2020, just as the government was pulling it from the shelves. Small red flag there.

          July 2021, I had a 17-day bout of what I believe was the Delta variant. Unvaxxed, and never will be, I decided to let my natural immune system go to work and strengthen.

          After an 8-day steep downward trajectory – extreme fatigue, not much to eat or drink, lost 25 lbs., and started having difficulty breathing, I dosed the Ivermectin. There was an immediate, noticeable full-body response. Days 9 thru 17, were a steady uphill run to about 95% then. About 99% now.

          The packaging of the Ivermectin, which is dosed by bodyweight, was enough for 10 doses for me personally. The cost was $3.99. Only one dose needed, so my cost was $0.40 – hard to beat.

          Treated a handful of friends as well – same positive results. The apple flavor is not too bad either. Still have laid in about 100 doses.

          Night Owl will contend there is no such thing as Covid. I respect his opinion, but from personal experience, I beg to differ. Covid itself was a manmade bioweapon – loaded with spike proteins – not a “naturally occurring” virus. “Vaccines” were simply more of the same.

          • Night Owl June 4, 2023 at 4:36 am #

            Ron, I have said in the past that all they need to do is show us that it has been isolated.

            So long as we have only a computer model and claims from known liars, I will stick with nonexistence.

            Dr. Mike Yeadon has said the same (not that I need him to), and it surprises me that any professional would acquiesce on this issue without seeing hard proof.

            Seems a rather basic request.

          • Ron Anselmo June 4, 2023 at 9:29 am #

            I know a bunch of people and some relatives who cured their covid problems – some in a couple of days – after taking Ivermectin. As luck would have it there was a doctor among them who had access to the stuff and he was making it available for his close friends and relatives. I’m sure he wasn’t the only doc taking risks by doing this. I got my own stash from an agricultural supply store even thought they had warning signs up all over the store advising people that it was only for animal use. I’d heard that some places made you bring a pic of you with your horse in order to prove you owned one. I’ve still got the medicine. I never took it because I never got sick in the first place.

          • Night Owl June 4, 2023 at 5:06 pm #

            Woodchuck, could just as well have been the placebo effect. Psychosomatic illness is very real, and the fear campaign waged during the fake pandemic was a military-grade operation.

            I still see traumatized people walking around in masks today.

            They have never produced an isolate of the virus. And the only test they claim can find the so-called virus is a proven fraud (PCR).

            So with no isolate, what are they testing for? And why would they use a test that cannot do what they want it to do?

            This is the biggest Bernaysian Big Lie in the history of mankind. Or if it isn’t, why can’t they show us?

    Barnhardt

    I haven’t posted on this yet as I was initially waiting for more information, specifically if Mother had been embalmed (NO), and what sort of coffin she was interred in (basically a “cremation box” as it is called in the mortuary trade, the simplest possible coffin). The more information came to light which I can’t discuss (sorry), that has led me to believe that I really need to be seeking Mother’s intercession – actively. I’d encourage one and all to do the same. The Communion of Saints is very, very real, folks, and it transcends time and space to form connections that none of us could ever imagine. The General Judgment, when ALL is revealed, is going to be astounding, to put it mildly.

    Letter from Mother Wilhelmina Lancaster to Pope John Paul II, 19 Jan ARSH 1991:

    Most Holy Father:
    I see no need for an African rite.
    I see no need for an American rite.
    I see no need for an African-American rite.
    I adhere to the Roman rite. Latin is the official language of the Roman rite. Gregorian chant is the official music of the Roman rite.
    I am a subject of Christ’s kingdom, which is not of this world.
    Our Lord Jesus Christ founded one Church for all men regardless of skin color, regardless of living conditions, regardless of mother tongue. Everyone must die to himself and put on Christ. “Forget your people and your father’s house,” the Psalm says.
    Please, Holy Father, listen to the cry of UNA VOCE; Establish a Traditional Ordinariate Consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary!—p. 100 God’s Will; Benedictines of Mary.

    Jarek: Is Messi going to be declared a saint or have his body be incorruptible? Is his religion of Law higher than Sr Wilhelmina’s religion of love?

    It’s God’s law not man’s he shouts.

    I reply, It’s God’s love not man’s that I’m talking about. It’s necessary to accept his Law before we can receive his Love of course. But many accept the Law but never find his Love. More is required on our part. The Law is just the training wheels. You’ll lever learn to ride properly if you keep relying on them.

    Christianity is a religion (to tie again!) not a system of government.

    Speaking of which, Sister quotes the Psalm, “Forget your people and your father’s house”. Thus does Christianity dissolve nations if left to its own accord. Wisdom is needed, a Wisdom higher than this psalm I’m afraid. Messi may well have more wisdom than Sister in this regard.

    It’s good advice to a spiritual seeker, perhaps. But to men who have accepted responsibility to govern – or the religious who counsel them? Poison.

        @ Q. Shtik:

        Christianity is intended to offer infused knowledge/understanding about the nature of the creation. I don’t see how a person can help but be awestruck by its beauty and complexity–its incomprehensibility to the human mind.

        The purely mechanistic view of the creation is a construct of the very limited human mind. We are not really able to understand much of anything beyond the physics of the pool table. (No pun on your name intended.)

        I think what you’re saying is that there is nothing beyond that to comprehend. But I don’t really see how a person can deny that the operation of the creation is WAY beyond that–infinitely beyond that. To see this is mostly just a matter of stepping outside to see the sun on the lily buds (and the weeds, for that matter–which are full of butterflies). It’s astounding. Incredible. If a person truly responded to the promptings of the soul on a morning like this, they would prostrate themselves in adoration.

        Religion explains what it all is, what it’s all about, how it came to be in the first place, and what our role is. Our ability to discern these things is not all that great, and can be nonexistent without training, but this faculty can be developed and refined. (Gotta find the faculty first. It’s there. Look at stuff. Stuff is wondrous.)

You’ve lost a great and precious thing, no denying it.

    “WHO Can You Trust?”

    We know the organization laughingly calling itself the World Health Organization is just a Trojan horse for a sick global dictatorship run by a few filthy and badly diseased souls with delusions of godhood. They do not represent the ‘World’. They are about everything BUT ‘Health’. And they are a tiny ‘Organization’ of globalized disarrayed minds.

    But that raises the broader question of… just WHO or WHAT can one trust these days? Spoiler Alert: Just about nothing and no one. Not even yourself much of the time.

    Back in Ike’s ‘50s and JFK’s ‘60s there was a game show called ‘Who Do You Trust’. In it, a person would have to decide to answer a question his or herself or allow a partner to answer it.

    We are living a real-life Planetary version of that game show these days in the bizarre and deranged 21st Century. We might try to answer many of the vexing questions of the day ourselves… or many will take the cowardly and lazy way out and let so-called Authorities and State Media and Anti-Social Media and the phony ‘The Science!’ tell us what to think.

    So why cant we even trust our own self? We have been demeaned and belittled and attacked and gaslighted and lied to and marginalized and debased since we were born. Our minds are littered with all kind of negative garage and waste and bad ideas. So how can we trust our own bedeviled mind?

    Well, when you are faced with two bad choices you go with the less-bad. So you are better off answering the questions yourself – even with all your mental and spiritual baggage – than letting anyone else (who likely knows less than you anyway and is probably trying to do you in somehow) answer them for you.

    So, who do you trust? You must trust in yourself. And pray for the best that somehow you’ll manage to stumble your way into finding real Truth.

    And also, stay as hell as far away as you can from the sickly and demented… “W-H-O”.

    A lot of gloom and doom among Jimbo’s minions on CFN today. I believe it was Teddy Roosevelt (an “old school” republican) who once said, “We are the government, you and I”. The PTB are still, as of this posting, human beings, as far as I know, unless AI has advanced further than I realized. How God fits into all this is a private matter which every human being on the face of the earth must determine individually.

  52. mitchellc June 2, 2023 at 6:13 pm #

    I periodically ask this question, so here it is again.

    We all know about limits; you cannot have infinite growth on a finite planet.

    The private capital system is dependent on increased production, increased resource consumption, increased population growth, and discounted waste costs.

    Drawn to its logical conclusion, it’s a trivial process to project an arc in which to determine a tipping point where depletion, overshoot and degradation conspire to crush our current reality.

    We are now there.

    So, the question is, what would you do if you had the power, or were in a position to effect policy initiatives to address these critical limiting factors?

    I assert a rational person would follow pretty much to a T what we observe transpiring across all sectors of current society by elite thinkers.

    The end goal of course would be the blessed 5K, ruling around 1M engineers and scientists, 4M managers and 495M transformed meat robots. (The associated IQ parameters would be 125+ for STEM, 105-110 for managers and 90-95 for worker drones.)

    The 495 would live in communal housing, have public transit available, be subject to managed affairs with strict reproductive controls, and have access to virtual reality drugs, sex and entertainment.

    The alternative to this last ditch effort at managing human affairs is our trajectory at present, which is nuclear WW3 before we’ve even experienced any type of true economic constriction or reduced living standards.

    Imagine what happens if the USA walks from Ukraine; the BRICS rush headlong into developing their own arsenals, as each demand a fair share of the quickly diminishing global pie.

    You see the pickle we’re in? Again, not advocacy, rather simply laying out facts. So, what would you propose we do?

        “India was the first country in the world to have launched a ational Programme for Family Planning in 1952. With its historic nitiation
        in 1952, the Family Planning Programme has undergone transformation in terms of policy and actual programme implementation. There occurred
        a gradual shift from clinical approach to the reproductive child health approach and further, the National Population Policy (NPP) in 2000 brought
        a holistic and a target free approach which helped
        in the reduction of fertility. . . . ”

      So, depopulation on a vast scale? Population control should have begun decades ago at least, but good luck with that, never happen.

      “So, what would you propose we do?”

      Disconnect as much as you can from the electric grid and the internal combustion motor grid. Both systems are heading towards gridlock and failure anyway. The sooner you learn you can survive and even be halfway comfortable without all the “stuff” we are told we must have – the better off you’ll be. Then you can roll with the punches instead of laying on the ground crying. Oh yeah, get rid of television and stop watching that crap, with Tucker Carlson gone the tv news is useless.

      Still nervous and still asking “what should we do? Hop on your bicycle with the handy saddlebags on the back and go buy a six pack of some decent German beer. If you are K-chien there’s some Bud Light out there at great prices for you. Then go in your back yard, grill some hot dogs, roll a big doobie, and relax. Embrace the dirt poor three room shotgun shack southern redneck lifestyle. No running water and no indoor plumbing. Quit puttin’ on airs and worrying about being poor. Nobody will care because they’ll be just as poor as you are.

      Your other choice might be communal housing where you live in something like a giant ant-hill. Some cultures don’t mind this sort of thing, like the folks in Hong Kong or Singapore. Americans might not be suitable psychologically for living the ant heap lifestyle. We’ll build up psycho pressure and like a malfunctioning steam boiler at some point we’ll blow. Just like we did in the 1860’s.

      As usual, no constructive proposals. Rather, just the regular Pavlovian responses to current events Jim triggers on a bi-weekly basis.

      People like their current reality, are comfortable with their daily routines and basis for their personal American experience, and seemingly don’t really consider the actual facts on the ground which are fundamentally changing the entire concept of human society as we presently know it.

      Instead, the routine is Jim attacks certain elements of the ever expanding indictment of ‘crimes’ against the USA that have been initiated in response to the looming hard crash.

      This then elicits a typical round of complaints and vitriolict commentary that seemingly are without any self awareness. That is, it’s merely a collective ego petuantly stomping its foot that things aren’t ever going back to the way they were.

      Which raised a question: does Jim actually care, or is this just a commercial proposition that has carved out a narrow, but highly predictable niche??

      For the record I do believe our host is sincere; to that I would say the complaining is aging out. We here know what’s happening. How about some suggestions for possible different alternatives and/or solutions?

      PS JohnAZ touched on nuclear power last thread. He, a former true believer, has evolved into one of the better and more astute commentators that is often on point.

    The breakdown of “Trust” is impelling a dramatic reorganization?

    Speaking of “Reorganization:

    Max Tegmark would probably say that the Primate “Substrate” from which modern humans evolved was a relatively superior material for processing information, which gave Primates a distinct advantage in intelligence? But, today, organic meat, tendon, and bone has been vastly superseded by better “Substrates”, which can be used to create vastly more efficient and intelligent “Life”?

    It’s a bit of Sophistry since Tegmark has to play games by tinkering with and adjusting the meanings of words, such as the definition of “Life”?

    I think that the Universe requires that everything assume certain shapes and forms (i.e., “Fractals”), and even “Intelligence” must be based on “Fractals”?

    “Life 3.0”, Max Tegmark

    • Pucker June 2, 2023 at 8:32 pm #

      One “Fractal” around which things and people organize is “Trust”? Another Fractal would be Energy (Sugar; Petroleum; Natural Gas, etc.)?

    • Pucker June 2, 2023 at 8:46 pm #

      The current ongoing collapse in societal “Trust” because of corruption and lack of enforcement of the Law will lead to a massive reorganization based upon something new which confers a new basis of “Trust”? The primary social basis of Trust is the Family, Clan, Tribe, which starts to erode when the Dunbar number of 150 members in the group is reached?

    Watched “What Is a Woman?” on Twitter.

    Kind of fun when Walsh is questioning US idiots. But I also find him kind of annoying, sucha s the very stupid “Are you a cat?”
    Guy was right to walk away from him.

    Also, his questioning of the Masai was kind of insulting. His use of trans jargon with them such as “nonbinary.” That was obnoxious.

    Disingenuous—insincere— and so very AMERICAN.

    At any point Walsh himself could have said “A woman is an adult human female, right?”

      I have read or am reading several books by various heroes of the Covid Resistance — Robert Malone, Naomi Wolf, Peter and Ginger Breggin, Drs. Fareed and Tyson, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr…..

      Guess what ONE THING their accounts all have running through them like a poisonous, noxious thread: the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. From bribing all major media, to running the WHO, to capturing the NIH and the CDC, one psychopathic bastard is behind the whole fucking Covid mess.

      And oh, he’s not nearly done yet. Remember when he whined that we were not locking down, masking, and vaxxing ENOUGH, and he couldn’t restrain himself from GRINNING as he warned with a sneer of the next pandemic: “They won’t be able to ignore the NEXT one!”

        Even more disturbing is Gate’s scheme to seed the atmosphere with tons of aluminum nitrate delivered from B-52 bombers in an attempt to blot out the sun for the purpose of “cooling earth’s atmosphere, and mitigating Climate Change.” Gates is providing the backing for this project, which also involves the Swedish govt & Harvard University.

          I think Sweden ruled against this project, ultimately. Of course that probably wasn’t the end of it.

          Gates is the tip of one the spears. Like Soros and Obama. Who wields the spears? The Rothschilds and related families in the West.

          Russia may have gained some independence from them with the rise of Putin. China even more so as it has become increasingly nationalistic.

        I don’t think it’s exactly that he’s ‘behind it all’. He’s an errand boy, albeit one who loves his job. I recently heard some interviewee (sorry, can’t remember who it was) say that Gates was let off some penalty that would have befallen him because of his prior business activities, and obedience to the people really behind Agenda 2030 and the Reset was the price. He appears to have been bought and sold like so many others – it’s just that he has a starring role in the production and loves it.

          Funny thing here. Look at SPECTRE in the Bond series, especially the latest Daniel Craig ones. It uses the same techniques that are being practiced by Klaus and the WEF, especially like Davos. Bond breaking into the opera meeting of SPECTRE planning is a carbon copy.

          Who is going to win the world domination contest?

          WEF or BRICS++? Even if they join up, a definite possibility, eventually they will duke it out for supremacy.

    According to the book “Life 3.0”, it seems that the nascent AI robots don’t like to getting “Conflicting Instructions”, which basically means that the AI doesn’t like humans vetoing the AI’s decisions as it determinedly seeks to fulfill its programmed instructions. In some cases, the AI has killed the human supervisor when the human made a decision to stop the AI.

    If the AI has a problem with “Conflicting Instructions”, then the AI will definitely NOT like dealing with people…since basically Humans are psychologically made up of Conflicting Instructions….

    Home of the Brave–Jody Miller (d.2022)–1965

    The school board says he can’t come to school no more
    Unless he wears his hair like he wore it before
    The PTA and all of the mothers say he has to look like the others
    Home of the brave, land of the free; why won’t you let him be what he wants to be?

    The kids all laugh at his hair and his funny clothes
    And more than once he’s gone home with a bloody nose
    He’s not like them and they can’t ignore it so they all hate him for it
    Home of the brave, land of the free; why won’t you let him be what he wants to be?

    It really burns me up when they put him down
    He’s the only one saying something in this whole town
    Instead of all the trouble they hand him why can’t they try to understand him?
    Home of the brave, land of the free; why can’t you let him be what he wants to be?

    From BIN:

    Black TikToker Calls White Women One Of ‘Most Dangerous Groups’ In U.S.

    Over the weekend, TikTok user @BlkGirlTragic posted a video on the platform explaining her thoughts on the viral incident where a white hospital employee attempted to take a Citi Bike that was already reserved by a Black teenager, per Newsone. The Tiktoker said she believes the incident shows how “white women are one of the most dangerous groups in the United States and abroad.”

    She also called out those defending the hospital employee’s behavior, citing the alleged receipt that the woman’s lawyer provided to the New York Post to prove her innocence.

    “Notice how white people were laying and waiting for some little nugget of information that was going to absolve this white woman of taking accountability for the harm that she put this boy in. Whiteness is a cult and they will always come to the defense of their cult members,” the TikToker said.“This evidence that people are now getting on here to push to say that this white woman is innocent actually doesn’t prove anything at all. But it does prove the lengths that some of y’all will go to to protect white women.”

    “It’s wild to me how people still see black people as one of the most violent groups when actually the most violent among us has the inability to hold their community members accountable for the ways in which they treat other people,” she continued. “You know who you are.”

    “Whiteness is a cult that feeds into by white supremacy,” she said. “Your intimidation tactics doesn’t change historical facts. The cult of whiteness has been spread globally and all it has to do to maintain itself is recruit new marginalized groups.”

    She added, “Are you starting to feel that knot in your chest? Yeah, that’s fact hurting your feelings. But that doesn’t make it any less of a fact. Whiteness is one of the most dangerous cults because it is backed by a system that offers them safety and security. And it protects them from consequences. Hope liberals post this one.”

    Sounds like Cori Bush and many other black leaders. No mention of Chicago or Daveyon Dickee Lee Woodley, etc.

    Maybe the black woman was right in this dispute but notice how her anger is not directed at just the individual involved. The attack is on all white women (men also probably), and her statements illustrate the deep chasm of mistrust, dislike, and hate between the races.

    Corporations and the media vigorously try to portray the races as equal, try to blend them into being one and the same since they both have purchasing power.

    As the change in demographics continue, (remember Obama’s border intake valve, among other things), things will only get worse for whites. Under this regime, any white militancy will be crushed.

    I want to show some resistance, maybe by putting up the confederate flag, but the house would probably be set afire by BLM or by some fucking white leftist black lover.

    Where’s that bright brain, Mitchellc, what would he propose? Maybe put the flag up for a few hours after midnight and revel in my small ration of recalcitrance? Or should I do nothing but philosophize about my pitiful predicament?

      I would say you’re wasting your time.

      This USA has never been a culturally unified nation. It was founded by pirates, based on plunder, and continues to extole the virtues of materialism.

      For 350 years +- we enjoying the exact opposite of our current state of depletion, overshoot and degradation, which explains the petulence of those who pine for “the good old days”.

      People who insist on dredging up countless stories evidencing our reality are in actuality demonstrating they havent truly grasped that its all over.

      Why did you feel the need to post this? Who cares? Don’t you have better things to do? Why troll the news feeds for the latest outrage? I mean, duh, right?

      Shit is getting real; we’ve obviously hit the wall. It’s why relations have never been worse with Russia and why we’re so close to a possible exchange that it’s almost become a mundane “oh well”.

      Why? Because we’re done for, that’s why. When we lose the war against Russia, the geo-political fall out is going to destroy the current mode of living.

      Jim’s forecast becomes reality. So who gives a shit about topical, petty and artificial news blurbs?

        And smugglers, outcasts from Britain, criminals from Britain, beaten Scottish highlanders, Religious outcasts especially Catholics and Puritans,

        It is ironic, I think that Britain sent all the right people to the Colonies to eventually tell England to go to hell.

        Outlander has a great line in it describing the US mentality. It is spoken by the Britich governor of N. Carolina, Tryon.

        “There is the Law, and then there is what is done.”

        Excellent representation of the American ideal of lawlessness.

        You may be right, I’m just asking.

        Does Western civ, in your estimation, have a particular way of seeing the world that offers a way out other than breaking things, like countries, traditions, cultures etc.

        Do you think we in Western civ. are close to becoming literally brain damaged?

        Does your way of presently seeing the world offer any other options other than its all over?

        Do we still have any chance of finding home?

      • Woodchuck June 3, 2023 at 6:04 pm #

        Ah yes, “the current mode of living”. I was fortunate enough to be born at a time that I could see the working remnants of “another mode of living” that didn’t involve electricity and automobiles. A great grandfather of mine was successful in business with a small factory he owned, and in the 1890’s built a victorian style small mansion for his family. Five bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 12 foot high ceilings so that hot air in summertime would gather up on the ceiling, leaving things a bit cooler below. The house had working shutters on the windows and almost each room had fireplace in it that was set up to burn coal or wood. It was a state of the art home for 1890 and he thought he was living like a king. The interior had a lot of machine carved oak woodwork and long banisters for kids to ride down on. It was grandma’s house when I was a small child, but by the 40’s it had been upgraded of course with modern plumbing, electricity, and central heat.

        The point of all this is that the lifestyle enjoyed by affluent people 130 years ago would be completely unacceptable today. My great grandma came from humble origins and she couldn’t have imagined a life more splendid than the one she enjoyed in the beginning decades of the 1900’s.

        But today’s woman would find her life with no electricity, no car, and a 2 digit phone number in a small town to be absolutely unacceptable. If forced to live like this today I can see a lot of American females going barking mad, hysterical, crying and whining constantly, and then maybe after a few months or years of this killing themselves and getting what they perceive to be misery over with.

        Yet people will repeat over and over about how much better we have it today. That we are so much better off than our forebears regarding lifestyles.

        What a bunch of gaslighting bullcrap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .

          The purpose of these little rants of yours seems to be to establish your cred as the only person here who comes from a genuine small-town American background and to put down on everyone else whom you assume to have grown up in the suburban desert/limbo.

          Did you actually live with a 2-digit phone number?
          I grew up with a four-digit number on a party line (well, three digits and a letter) .
          Operator: “Hang up while I ring.”

          • beantownbill. June 3, 2023 at 11:35 pm #

            The local newspaper is available on microfiche.

            It’s fun to look at the adverts and see the many three-digit nos. I expect that the old phone books are in the local archive.

            I don’t think I have seen two-digiters, though.

            The local gossip was on our line. Occasionally you would hear a click, then the “air space” would have a different quality when another line was open, and another click when she hung up.

          • Woodchuck June 4, 2023 at 10:14 am #

            There are plenty of people besides myself here that have seen and experienced what I have. What I saw in the 50’s is just a small part of what the Long Emergency is going to be like. Other people on here seem to think that going back to another lifestyle either can’t be done or it will involve a lot of terrible suffering and confusion to get there.

            No, I’ve never had a 2 digit phone number but I did find a 1907 phone book with my grandpa’s name listed, his phone number was 94. I’m sure he was very happy and satisfied with his phone and thought it was amazing. Someone today would consider a phone system like that mostly useless and would be insulted if you proposed they used something like that.

            Nothing is ever good enough. We must have more more and more! People who will find it impossible to live this way post collapse will likely lose their lives – and for what or because of what? Y’all are willing to die for this stupid, impractical, and unsustainable lifestyle? We don’t need all this shit, and living in complete dependency on fossil fuels means you die if and when those fuels become either too expensive or even unavailble.

          • Woodchuck June 4, 2023 at 10:21 am #

            My mom used to talk German on our party line with the very few people in town who could speak it. Often she could tell that curious people in the neighborhood were listening in on a conversation they couldn’t possibly understand. One of my earliest childhood memories was going to an open house event at the local phone company where you could see the switchboards in operation and the operators plugging in and unplugging calls.

        “This USA has never been a culturally unified nation. It was founded by pirates, based on plunder, and continues to extole the virtues of materialism.”

        Dimitri Orlov has also made this claim that we started out as pirates. Manifest destiny was all about extracting wealth and material out of the huge amounts of easy to get raw materials here in North America. But not that much remains in terms of easy raw materials. We’ve consumed all the cheap-to-produce petroleum here in the US, and all that remains for us is expensive and hard to get oil using offshore drilling rigs or by fracking. That’s basically why we are acting so desperate and so violent on the world stage. We are the never satisfied bully and we think our lifestyle is somehow owed to us by foreign countries like Russia or China. That may turn out to be a fatal delusion.

      The White Supremacy?

      What a joke, used by the Brown (and White) Leftists for generations.

      The USA was founded by White settlers from Europe. It has been a vanguard of European culture since its founding. Its Common Culture is caucasian, European. It still is.

      13% of the population is trying to change that fact. They are being fed capital and BS propaganda by a bunch of White globalists on how to overthrow the power structure of this European country.

      The real disaster is the inclusion of a bunch of Anglos into the attempted takeover, the Democratic Party, as they attempt to trade the identity of the country’s culture for a subculture that wants the European culture to be obliterated.

      Irony, as usual prevails. The Black culture, as now practiced is suicidal. They cannot stop killing each other, doing criminal activity, fathering kids and walking away, This “culture” needs to blame someone or something for these all too familiar characteristics.

      Who better than the White Supremacist common culture. It is holding all those Blacks down, it is systemic racism.

      It is also the biggest line of bullshit propaganda in the history of humanity, and it is being led by a group of White bullshit artists in the Democratic party to get votes they do not deserve, and probably even more so, for their profit through the illicit activities practiced by our rapidly growing criminal sector.

    • Jarek June 3, 2023 at 1:45 pm #

      I read the comments on youtube about this story. Countless White Liberals believing that a middle class, pregnant, White nurse tried to steal a bike in front of her own hospital from a gang of young Black men.

      This is far more shocking than the hatred express above by a wokie Chimp. The Cult of Ethnomasochism has triumphed and rules our Nation.

      They think only the bad Whites are going to get killed and that that’s a good thing.

        Destroy every biolab in the world, and there are tons of them as we keep finding out. As Biden is to the border trades, Fauci is to the bio trades. There is a massive conspiracy to in Obama’s words, make total change to the country. For all the folks that voted for change, I hope you are happy with the results as the government drains you dry.

    Here is a very interesting analysis of the current (but currently changing?) configuration of global power:
    httpX://consortiumnews.com/2023/06/02/the-vassalage-at-heart-of-the-g7/?

    Excerpt:
    “. . . Samir Amin used that term – Triad – for a very different purpose. In 1980, he wrote of the “gradual consolidation of the central zone of the world capitalist system (Europe, North America, Japan, Australia),” and soon thereafter began to refer to this “central zone” as the Triad.

    The elites in Europe and Japan subordinated their national self-interest to what the U.S. government had begun to call their “common interests.”

    New institutions and terms emerged in the 1970s, giving shape to these “common interests,” including the Trilateral Commission (set up by David Rockefeller in 1973 with headquarters in Paris, Tokyo and Washington) and the concept of “trilateral diplomacy” (which brought together Western Europe, Japan and the United States under one unified diplomatic worldview).

    Intellectuals in these trilateral circles saw the United States as the central power with its vassal states (Europe and Japan) empowered to maintain control over the tributary states (such as South Korea) in order to keep the rest of the world stable.

    Much harsher language was used by Zbigniew Brzezinski, one of the architects of the Trilateral Commission and national security adviser to U.S. President Jimmy Carter.

    In The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives (1997), Brzezinski wrote,

    “To put it in terminology that hearkens back to the more brutal age of ancient empires, the three grand imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together.”

    You can guess who the barbarians are in Brzezinski’s imagination. . . .”

    Iluvatar said to Melkor: Howsoever you mar my Song, you will only succeed in making it more beautiful in the End.

    The Simarillion

    Who sowed the cockle in the wheat?
    Christ: An enemy did it.

    The Gospel

    Jarek: Remember, Christianity believes that man is fallen and this world, ruined – just like Gnosticism does.

    Gnosticism says it was intrinsically so. Thus? So get out. Christianity says it was created Good and then ruined. You don’t have to run, though retreat may be in order. But in any case, fight. Reinforcements are coming…..

    Will the battle against evil sharpen us, clarify us, try us like gold in the furnace? Or the as the Simarillion suggests, is like a counter-point in a great Symphony? What a devastating condemnation and mockery of Melkor, made right to his face! Luther suggested mockery against the Devil. But have a care: He is still an Archangel and more intelligent than you can ever be. In terms of defending yourself, perhaps. But don’t go on the offensive or get offensive. He is still God’s beloved son despite his rebellion and ruin.

    • hustled enough June 3, 2023 at 2:12 pm #

      Jarek,
      Gnosticism is a sect of Christianity–and not the mainstream interpretation. And there is a variety of opinion about the World. If Jesus redeems it by his sacrifice–it ain’t ruined anymore… right? That is the purpose of God’s infinite Grace.

      • Jarek June 3, 2023 at 2:36 pm #

        Not quite. Our fallen nature is still there and needs to be struggled with. And the world is still ruined – obviously!

        You’re forgetting an earlier premise: The cockle is in with the wheat. If you try to pull it now, the wheat will come up with it. Thus we wait for the Harvest.

        Note to the Group: If you can’t/won’t understand that the Nazis crushed the evil Weimar Republic, you’re not going to be able get the larger Story straight either.

        So Hitler was Christ then?

        No. The Nazis were fallen men, and you my imaginary interlocuter are an idiot.

        • hustled enough June 3, 2023 at 3:07 pm #

          Hi Jarek,
          The cockle can be carefully dealt with. Gnostics do see the world as fallen. But again, it is one of many interpretations of Jesus’ message; as I have said, not even the mainstream one. Being selective in your use of the New Testament–especially the Gospels is not helpful. Jesus redeems fallen humanity in the Cosmos, not separate from it. Still-that is my interpretation; you have your own. Yours is a very pessimistic view of humanity. You are welcome to it and to an imaginary interlocutor that only you can perceive…
          HE

          • Jarek June 3, 2023 at 3:32 pm #

            As far as Man’s fallen nature, Church Fathers, Medieval Schoolmen, Protestant Divines, Ancient Greek Sages, Hindu Yogis, and Buddhist sages all speak as one.

            Negative states of mind and emotion dominate by far in the average man. If you haven’t noticed this, the conversation is over. I’d only ask, What else are you missing? Probably a lot.

            If man was fine as he was, what need for religion at all, including Christianity. Christ came and redeemed us and that’s the end of it? No, it’s the beginning.

          • hustled enough June 3, 2023 at 5:40 pm #

            Hmm, nope. Jesus doesn’t follow you. Why must I follow your negative state of mind, Jarek? Are you an average man? Or do you believe that you have something POSITIVE to offer; or are you (and the rest of us) irredeemably damned in your mind? Because, the centrality of free will works against your interpretation. A point Anthea makes here as well. Do you believe in free will? If so, why choose the negative as the default? If not, I would like to understand your thinking, especially given your interest in Christianity. We also have the capacity to reach towards perfection–and that to, is part of our free will (if you believe in such ideas…

      • Anthea June 3, 2023 at 3:09 pm #

        @ hustled enough:

        Jesus’s redemption is on offer. No one is compelled to accept it.

        As for the world: The way I see it is that the fallen state of the world is a matter of quantum physics–you know, where the viewer changes the nature of the thing that is viewed. When man fell, the world changed in conformity with who was looking at it.

        • hustled enough June 3, 2023 at 5:31 pm #

          So, if you accept the offer–the world is not fallen–after all, it is God’s creation, right, Anthea?

            He said “fallen state”; the key word coming after the adjective.

            The earth or regions of it can be in a variety of states and if one believes God created the earth and has given man free will, then those states would be part of the infinite possibilities or scenarios that could exist at any time.

            Oh Night Owl,
            “The earth or regions of it can be in a variety of states and if one believes God created the earth and has given man free will, then those states would be part of the infinite possibilities or scenarios that could exist at any time.”
            So, you are saying… well–that the world could be fallen (or in your parlance–in “a fallen state”) or it could actually be perfect (or in your parlance, “a perfect state”). OK, sport, so who exactly is the “DC” here? The person who follows Jarek’s claims and suggests that his claim of one particular state is an assertion, one interpretation amongst many possible of what the world is? Or the person who wrote the above quote I started this reply with, and showed that they hadn’t actually bothered to read what Jarek was saying or consider that Jesus’ crucifixion and our capacity for free will can work against the interpretation Jarek offers?

          So if you see sex with children as right, it becomes right?

          Anthea doesn’t really know the basics, even though she thinks she does. I don’t mean to imply she believes the above. I just use this extreme example to show how dippy her premise is.

          Sometimes she tries to interpret Christ and the Virgin Mary in terms of pop “quantum” physics. It always leads to disastrous posts like the above.

            Some people DO see sex with children as right, Jar.

            That might be Anthea’s point.

            We are witnessing a new religion (LGBTQ++) taking over the western world, maybe the entire world, at warp speed. Part of their religion is “Love is Love,” meaning “love” with kids of any age is OK.

            It never ends up well, either.

            Ever notice that decadence follows government centralization? Corruption in government follows corruption of the people. Corruption of the people follows the corruption of individual responsibility. That corruption follows corruption of the central government.

          • Jarek June 4, 2023 at 1:12 pm #

            Mary: It was just an example, Mary. And Anthea never mentioned so it wasn’t her point.

            You’re good at forgetting or ignoring points. The Point was that Anthea’s principle that we create our own reality is amoral at best, and opens the door for immorality.

            Obviously at a subjective level we do create our own reality to some extent, namely our life and lifestyle. – but that’s with a small r. We certainly don’t create the world.

    Dear JHK Admin,
    ” In April, 2023, Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) Kathie Breault was indicted in the Eastern States District Federal Court for “Conspiracy to Defraud the United States” for giving vaccination cards to people who did not receive Covid-19 vaccinations. Her defense is that the vaccinations were ineffective and harmful, and to administer them would violate the Hippocratic oath of health professionals (First do no harm). Her legal battle against a dishonest and vindictive federal government will require lawyer’s fees that exceed her ability to pay — a reminder that “the process is the punishment.””

    And her non-sequitur of an argument that you uncritically pass on convinces you of the moral righteousness of her position? First, if she were “to do no harm” as a medical professional, she wouldn’t give the vaccination shot. No problem for me there. That is an ethical position I can respect. However, her stated defence is nonsensical because she actively defrauded state authorities when she told them that she had done something that she had not actually done. That is straight out lying. That is fraud. Does anyone know if she BILLED the state to cover the shots she did not deliver? You want to make the case that she is a resistance fighter against some variant of the New World Order, have at it. But please do not cloth this resistance in the garb of upholding the Hippocratic oath! This was not a medical decision; it was a socio-political one. Let us leave it there and if you want to affirm that, have at it. People who deliberately break laws can expect to have lawyer bills to pay. Especially in America.

          And then they, and stupidos like Hustler, cry “Fraud” by the victims. WTF, H?

            Sorry Islander,
            She had a choice. She could have kept an ethical position, but instead tried to do an end run, and when called on it, cried about the big meanies who called her on breaking the law. So, if she is ethical–she accepts the consequences of her decision–not say how unfair it is that she is getting the consequences she actively sought out!

    Local weather for the “Nature drag show”:

    52 degrees F, wind 23 mph, spitting rain.

    Weather gods have spoken.

    • BackRowHeckler June 3, 2023 at 4:52 pm #

      Weather Gods are speaking loud & clear here, too.

      91°F yesterday, but today so raw & cold that my I cut short my DQ visit & ordered a small chocolate cone, not a large.

      • Islander June 3, 2023 at 7:15 pm #

        DQ = Dairy Queen?

        Seems like the weather calls for a large . . .

        BTW, how we explain freezing weather in May:

        “Months like May 2023, with one or more very late frosts, have always occurred here, but ***it’s possible*** they’ll become more common in the near future . Paradoxically, as the oceans and atmosphere warm in response to rising carbon dioxide levels, the frequency of cold extremes is predicted to increase as well [[by whom?]]. The overall increase in average temperature ***really means*** the atmosphere is becoming more energetic. That stored energy is what drives the formation and movement of weather systems, and higher levels of energy mean more dramatic extremes, in the directions of heat and cold, wet and dry.”

        . . .

        • Islander June 3, 2023 at 7:25 pm #

          BTW, nights are ca. 50 F for the rest of the week.

          Where can I find monthly averages for previous years?

        • BackRowHeckler June 3, 2023 at 8:35 pm #

          Yep, Dairy Queen. Our local DQ has been dishing out soft serve goodness since 1953, same location and possibly the same magic ice cream making machine.

          • Islander June 3, 2023 at 9:53 pm #

            We wanted a Dairy Queen, but what we got was a Dairy MAID!!

            Still, it had the soff-serv magic. Was the first business to breach the old town boundaries, just outside of town. A jaunty, odd-shaped little building with a jutting front, set down in the middle of a dirt parking lot, glowing in the dark out there like a lightning bug permanently on.

            They had just one flavor, white, but you could have your cone “dipped” in a sickly sweet waxy covering that came in various “flavors”: “lime” (green), “lemon” (yellow), “orange” (orange), or “cherry” (red).

            Maybe the “dips” were made by Za-rex . . .

    That is such a great summary of the current struggle Mr. K. I feel that there is a tremendous struggle with close proximity authorities as well. And perhaps because so much dislocation has actually occurred on a psycho-spiritual level it is vexatious to accept authorities and hierarchies of power in the moment. The stitching in the fabric of the grouping being material and mutual loyalties. It’s somewhat astonishing that some of the cream of the crop don’t understand the inherent precisions of the lasting pyramids. So at this point i’m grateful that the power is working but it does seem like we are traveling through a dark labyrinth at the moment.

    Universal Basic Income via a Central Bank Digital Currency will become a big “Divide-and-Conquer” lever for disciplining the recalcitrant minority of the population?

    “ Many debaters argue that reducing income inequality is a good idea not merely in an AI-dominated future, but also today. Although the main argument tends to be a moral one, there’s also evidence that greater equality makes democracy work better: when there’s a large well-educated middle class, the electorate is harder to manipulate, and it’s tougher for small numbers of people or companies to buy undue influence over the government.

    A better democracy can in turn enable a better-managed economy that’s less corrupt, more efficient and faster growing, ultimately benefiting essentially everyone. Giving People Purpose Without Jobs Jobs can provide people with more than just money. Voltaire wrote in 1759 that “work keeps at bay three great evils: boredom, vice and need.”

    Conversely, providing people with income isn’t enough to guarantee their well-being. Roman emperors provided both bread and circuses to keep their underlings content, and Jesus emphasized non-material needs in the Bible quote “Man shall not live by bread alone.” So precisely what valuable things do jobs contribute beyond money, and in what alternative ways can a jobless society provide them?”

    In the dystopia, everyone will be estranged from each other. Your only “Friends” will be online AI “bots” and Afghans who have renounced “Isl…am” and whose wives don’t wear the full on entire body bedsheet burka? Your kids will call you transphobic and “Species-ist”….

We saw in the previous chapter how the laws of physics allow suitable clumps of matter to remember, compute and learn, and how they don’t prohibit such clumps from one day doing so with greater intelligence than the matter clumps in our heads. If/when we humans will succeed in building such superhuman AGI is much less clear.”

      That’s quite a surprise; as recently as a year ago Iran & SArabia were at each other’s throats, each one representing a different strain of Islam and fighting a bloody & destructive proxy war in Yemen.

      I’ve read that Armenia & Azerbaijan have reached a level of reapproachment too.

    Fox report on polls this AM

    GOP

    Trump remains > 50%. Most significant is the remainder after their initial novelty upticks remain very low. They form a very compressed group running for VP.

    Dem.

    Even worse, Biden is >60%, RFK,Jr. is 20%.

    On both sides, little change after most candidates are in the fray. Two more GOPers this week, both extreme RINOs. The conservative side of the country want no part of the sea of RINOs surrounding Trump. There is hope!!

    Donald Trump never had > 50% during primary season in 2016.

    Donald Trump vs. Joseph Biden. I wonder if either will make it until 2024 without getting found guilty of something and jailed?

    It is a very appropriate picture of the condition of politics in the USA Today.

      The left has thrown everything they could manage at TRUMP and now the best they can do is a process crime of Obstruction?
      We know the rape case was a joke.
      She lied about funding, had zero clue what day, month or even year the alleged assault happened in a busy Department store right next to the cash registers.
      Even the jury did not believe her but they knew if they did not get TRUMP ON SOMETHING their lives were going to be hell.
      Biased Judge, a DA that actually ran on getting TRUMP, Soros bucks thrown in and the very cutting edge of a culture war.
      The Georgia thing appears even more manufactured.

      But do you think your vote will be properly counted?

      • Night Owl June 4, 2023 at 4:40 pm #

        Elections have likely always been full of fraud. But I think that the Trump win surprised the establishment so much, that they will do anything to prevent another outsider from getting into Washington.

        Any ability voting had to change things is, IMO, so reduced as to have been more or less lost.

        Let us not forget what they did when they “inaugurated” Biden. They turned the Capitol grounds into a theater of war, complete with weapons of war, razor wire, and a propaganda show that would have made Goebbels blush.

        Go back and watch the videos.

        • SoftStarLight June 4, 2023 at 5:17 pm #

          Yeah I do remember that. And too the fact that the judicial system is unwilling to deal with the fraud issue sorta cements that fact.

    I’ve always been a fan of the writing style of Paul Craig Roberts. His recent political outlook column has his typical no-nonsense tone. A couple of highlights:

    “If the American people and the Republican Party abandon Trump we will never have another chance to restore our constitutional protections, a rule of law and an accountable government. Trump’s destruction will serve as a warning to all future candidates that the only candidates permitted in office are those who serve the establishment. It is that simple.”

    “So what about DeSantis and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.?

    “DeSantis is an outstanding governor. He saved Florida from lockdowns, mandated vaccinations, white kids from being indoctrinated in schools with Critical Race Theory that they are racists and oppressors of people of color, from transgender indoctrination, and he stood up against Woke corporations such as Disney that support the normalization of sexual perversity.”

    “But DeSantis is a young man whose career is not backed with a billion dollars. If Donald Trump can be eliminated by the ruling establishment DeSantis hasn’t a chance. He could be a successful president only by going along to get along.”

    “As for Robert Kennedy, Jr. possibly no finer American exists. But it is total folly to expect that the CIA is going to let a man be President who knows, and has said that the CIA murdered his father and his uncle. If RFK, Jr. is elected President, he would be the third or fourth Kennedy to be assassinated.”

    “I think assassination will be Donald Trump’s fate if he again wins election.”

    My oh My!

      Evidently PCR still believes the system is legit. We officially crossed that bridge in 2020. It was true long before that as well, other than 2016 when the power brokers fell asleep on Trump, but rest assured, that won’t happen again.

    • Night Owl June 4, 2023 at 4:55 pm #

      He is right about Trump and assassination. They fear Trump more than Kennedy.

      Kennedy is preferrable to me at this point, but he is weak on the climate/resource depletion nonsense. He will stop biomedical fascism, but he will not stop the climate/resource fraud.

      As far as the US goes, a parallel society and potentical secession seems the only valid option at present. The rot runs too deep, and the lies have been too effective.

    from the Future is Male or Not at All
    Forum for Democracy International,
    Max Denken

    Yin kills

    As the West has gotten more feminized, more “feeling” and weaker, its enemies have gotten stronger. America and Western Europe have become more confused and self-eviscerating in proportion to their preoccupation with bathrooms and pronouns for transvestites, faking fitness tests for female combat soldiers, creating “safe spaces” for hysterical college snowflakes, and agonizing over invented race, gender and sexual orientation “discriminations.” Thousands of American universities have committed to fighting “toxic masculinity,” competitive sports have been banned in schools on account of equity-offending better performance of boys over girls, a “transsexual” swimmer-with-a-penis is on the University of Pennsylvania women’s swimming team, and California forbids large retailers from having separate boys and girls toy sections.

    Meanwhile, the West’s enemies have become more aggressively masculine while the West is turning all-estrogen. Those macho ones have developed nuclear arsenals, trained their soldiers for wars and launched a proxy jihad, if Muslim, or Reconquista, if Mexican, through immigration. They are smartly, gradually, taking over the stupid infidels’ and gringos’ lands. They have taken advantage of every opportunity offered them by the idiot West, knowing exactly what appearances to keep and which part of Western elites to stroke so that an ejaculate of “inclusion,” “tolerance” “anti-racism,” “multiculturalism” and “diversity” spurts forth. Plus, in the case of American-funded People’s Republic of China, they spent trillions of American dollars earned from the stupid Yank gweilo to gobble and corner strategic resources all over the world, gain leadership in strategic technologies like supercomputers and 5G, and build a military and technological near-superiority over Dr. Frankenstein himself who built up the Chinese creature from nothing to a looming giant and a major threat.

    The lethal injection, the vast surfeit of soft power and soft foolishness at the expense of fortitude, courage, psychological stamina, conviction, loyalty to one’s people, and love of one’s culture, has been self-administered. “The future is female” is already upon us, and it’s a sign that the gravity pendulum of human stupidity is close to reaching the far end of its arc on the Yin side of things, where things go really bad. The hint of what the Yin end of the arc of human stupidity portends for Western civilization is in the other half of the world that’s still masculine, detests the feminized Western half, breeds at double and triple rate of the feminized half, and has bested it in every military encounter in the last 70 years, turning even temporary defeats to victories.

    The classic symptom of terminal stage Yin poisoning is upon us: every remedy that the ruling elites devise for the evident gross ills that plague Western nations is a Yin remedy piling more Yin on top of too-much Yin. It’s like a terminal alcoholic—alcohol is Yin—after a night of binging, waking up in the morning and having a stiff drink for his hangover.

    The future

    The West’s leftist feminists, all hundreds of millions of them, and their brow-beaten penis-porters are right: the future is leftist female, with its byproducts of empathy, compassion, emotion, fractional, factional, and fictional identity, obsession with safety, avoidance of rational realism, avoidance of all aggression including “micro-aggression,” and squashing of all considerations, decisions, and people that run counter to the Yin soup in which everything must now swim.

    In the female future that has already begun, race and gender are fiction and we are all the same but must celebrate our diversity, racism is white people’s disease, white privilege must be eradicated, Whites’ homes and jobs must be relinquished to Blacks for the sake of racial justice, white society is guilty for black criminals’ criminality, Islam is a religion of peace and Christianity is a religion of war and bigotry, maleness is toxic and must be curbed from birth, bearing babies is unfit for liberated women, and man-boy love must finally be freed from the shackles of bigotry in which it has been bound.

    That socialist-feminist-female future is based on altruist social justice. Environmental justice will require the annual transfer of $2 trillion from whitey to Africa and Southeast Asia. Racial justice will require the annual transfer of $1 trillion from American whites to American blacks and browns, and proportionally smaller amounts from the autochthons to the “migrants” in every European country. Demographic justice will require the annual transfer of 30 million Africans to the lands where whitey enjoys his undeserved white space and white privilege. And religious justice will require that the Koran be taught in all public schools, all food served in public be halal, and Muslims be exempt from monogamy and women’s protection laws.

    But I have a caveat:

    Only the future of the West is leftist female, and only for a while. Ultimately, the future of the West is reactionary male. Except it won’t be the white male any longer but the African and Asian Muslim male within the worldwide Caliphate, or the Chinese male overseeing his colonies of the idiot white baizuo. It’s a future that’s already with us. As George Orwell has predicted, it’s an endless present in which the Party is always right, with periodic interruptions for two minutes of hate-whitey.

    The feminization of the West is a fait accompli, a “done deal,” and nothing will stop it until vassalage to the male-run powers of China and the worldwide Caliphate, and also to domestic, testosterone-rich “people of color” will tear it apart, grind it down, and teach it the lesson of its inveterate follies. Pew Research projects based on an optimistic evaluation that the population of imported Muslims and their descendants in Sweden will be 31% in 2050. Sweden is the world’s most feminist country and that percentage will be possibly half again as high.

    What it means in reality is a country dead and alive at once like Schrödinger’s quantum cat; no longer European but still occupying European land. Smoking, stinking rubble along with “vibrant” mini-Kabuls and Mogadishus; no future, but many thousands of once-Swedish women with face veils and fecund watermelon bellies; decaying industry but a serious Third World-aligned army at last commanded by mustachioed Muslim men; no culture, but no “progressive” depravity either.

    Only the eastern quarter of Europe – the Camp of the Sane — stands in the way of that future in Europe. Until now, that group of former victim countries has been spared the West’s plagues almost completely. Poland and Hungary are the main pillars of that last remaining corner where sanity survives, “white” is not a dirty word, the number of genders is two not sixty-three, and outgroup-directed pathological altruism has not yet replaced the love for one’s own.

    It’s either Poland’s and Hungary’s way or Sweden’s way. People of European ancestry who hope for their civilization to survive ought to take a stand for the former.

    Jarek: Imagine people thinking that women are equal with men – while the women actually think they are better than us. Equality is alien to feminine psyche and of course they’re correct in this. There is no equality in this world. Maybe atoms and subatomic particles? Is one carbon atom just like another carbo atom? Not sure. In any case, men are better than women in most ways and must again, Rule.

    Equality is a useful abstraction in mathematics and law – both visitors from “above” for the most part.

      Yes, too much yin can be a sin. Leftist males are sinners also. The woke curse of Obama is upon us. Beware the yang of Michelle.

      Where to find the strength? The US military officer corps is predominately male. There have been hundreds of four-star generals throughout military history but only about 10 have been women.

      Is our command structure receiving yin injections? Is it the witchcraft of woke that weakens our warriors?

      Woke is full of yin.

    Sun out but still effing freezing!

    I keep track of the climate “catastrophe” (/sn) at the Daily Skeptic, stories/reporting by Chris Morrison.
    Generally he provides links to the scientific papers he discusses, and the commenters also provide useful material.

    E.g.,

      54 is definitely unacceptable for June. The buried lead seems to be the volcanic activity beneath the ice. Volcanic activity could also raise the temperature of the oceans presumably. It is strange that the media never talks about that when they discuss climate change. It got to 97 but a thunderstorm just came through so it dropped to 71!

    So who gives a shit about topical, petty and artificial news blurbs?’ Mitchellc

    I care. When Biden himself states several times that ‘White supremacy is the greatest threat to the nation’, when he says that ‘they’re going to put y’all back in chains’, he’s implicitly saying to the blacks, “Rise up and fight the whites”. Give me your vote and I’ve got your back

    The examples I cited are simply representative of black attitudes and behavior all across America. The stories were right there when I turned the computer on. There was nothing artificial or petty about them, except in your own mind. I don’t always have the time to put the ‘meat on the bones’ so to speak, so reactions like yours can be expected, I guess.

      There is nothing worse than a programmable CBDC, Mr. Degrowth.

      And were a CBDC put in place, the next step is making it programmable, which Mr. Carstens of the BIS told us they want.

      I would much rather have an IRS and Federal Reserve banknotes than any form of CBDC.

      There is literally no bigger mistake one could make than mandating digital money.

      I would say it is shocking that you would propose this, but after 3 years of a fake pandemic, no level of idiocy shocks me anymore.

    Diversity is always, always, a good thing. We need the melting pot, the salad bowl, the heterogeneous America because that leads to innovation and creativity. The more migrants come and work and are allowed to pay taxes and SS, the easier it is to keep retirement programs like SS and Medicare alive and well. Bring your teeming masses, however much melanin they have in their skin, and we will judge each and every one by the content of their character, not by ethnicity or sexual orientation or any other stupid thing the bigots like to suck up and eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

    • chet_the_farmer June 6, 2023 at 10:10 am #

      No we dont need any of that diversity or meting pot garbage.
      Retirement programs for U.S. citizens have nothing to do with illegal alien invading hordes.
      You mis-use bigot like all the other kids.
      Immigration is an issue of nationality. Race, sex, and other useless emotional crap does not come into play.
      When you crash a border and have the mental capacity of an 8-year-old then your ‘character’ is irrelevant.
