If you want to understand the complete failure of moral authority in America, seek no further than the gothic doings of the Biden family, especially now that the President’s degenerate son, Hunter, has been rewarded with a $2-million advance-against royalties (i.e., money up-front) from Simon & Schuster, and a gala publicity tour of the national news media designed to conceal his criminal culpability in evidence contained on the “laptop from hell” that he stupidly abandoned in a Delaware repair shop while lurching through his daily doings on one of countless drug jags he’s enjoyed between rehabs since his dad stepped back into national politics.

The failure is shared by a national news media that refuses to scrutinize the obvious financial crimes documented on the laptop, the FBI, which sat on the laptop through the months of Trump Impeachment No. One — while the computer contained evidence of Hunter’s grifting and money-laundering directly benefiting “the Big Guy,” Joe Biden, at issue in the impeachment — and the Department of Justice, which has been sitting on its hands pretending to conduct an investigation into all this.

The moral darkness of the family is beyond Shakespearean. It ranges from fantastically sordid personal indecencies like Hunter posting drug-fueled selfie sex videos with whores on the PornHub website, to intimations of lewd consort with his teenage niece, to the admitted fact of him bird-dogging his dead brother’s wife, Hallie… and into financial misdeeds that suggest Hunter sold out his country by peddling Joe Biden’s favor to agents of the Chinese communist party and other foreign nations. This body of unresolved allegations haunts the House of Biden like some stinking dead animal decaying under the Oval Office floorboards that everyone pretends not to notice.

Most recently, in a striking instance of in-your-face duplicity, Joe Biden announced his new crusade against gun ownership the same week that credible evidence surfaced that Hunter had obtained a .38 caliber handgun by lying on the application about his drug use — well-documented in his discharge record from the Navy Reserve (for failing a cocaine blood test), as well as his repeat visits to drug rehab clinics. In 2018, it happened that his then-paramour, Hallie Biden, fearing for his behavior, took the gun from Hunter’s car and tossed it in a dumpster outside a Wilmington food market. Directly afterward, the Secret Service office in Wilmington went to the gun-shop, StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply, to ask for the forms Hunter had filled out and signed to buy the gun, which itself was never recovered. Incidentally, the Secret Service had no security detail assigned to Joe Biden or his family at the time — Joe was out-of-office and not yet a candidate for president — plus, the Secret Service has no authority to investigate gun records, a duty of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). What was going on with all that? Do you think AG Merrick Garland might be asking around the DOJ building?

The gross failure of federal authority, and abuse of authority, in this land is an ongoing process. You can date it back to wherever you like — say, to all the confusion and deception around the JFK assassination, or even further — but it had never been so broad, so deep, and so blatant as when Donald Trump became a candidate and all the resources of the CIA, DOJ, and the FBI were marshaled against him in the phony operations that became RussiaGate. Now, under Joe Biden, the system is entirely poisoned and corrupt.

Hunter is supposedly under investigation by the DOJ for tax fraud. Is that all? Are they not curious at all about the imputation of Chinese influence over decision-making in Joe Biden’s White House? Apparently, China paid for the influence it now enjoys. Millions of ordinary American citizens have seen the actual record, screen-captured from Hunter’s laptop, of email correspondence that details the many deals and payments made by Chinese companies run by the CCP to Hunter’s various shell corporations, as well as the memos between Hunter and his partners breaking down the payment schedule among Biden family members, including “the Big Guy.”

Is there not some larger — very large — question as to how this Manchurian Candidate with failing mental capacities, seemingly run by other figures in the shadows, came to be installed at the head of our government? The USA will not survive as a nation unless we seek to find out.

        That’s for sure. LOL. He would have gathered more respect by simply writing, “First!”

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder April 9, 2021 at 10:40 am #

        Actually I think he makes a good point. Every presidential cycle is always a bit of a drag in some way for everyone, no?

        I may well be wrong, but I don’t think tc meant “same old” in regards to JHK and his post. I took it as a general statement about being disillusioned with politics and their predictable shortcomings.

        Granted, Trump was at least entertaining in his audacity. Joey NoPulse is like watching driftwood, hoping it eventually goes somewhere interesting.

        • abbybwood April 9, 2021 at 11:37 am #

          I think Joe Biden’s days are numbered. I honestly see him gone by May 1st, 2021. He’ll need a pocket pardon from Carmelita just in case The Big Guy thing comes back to haunt him. Hunter too for his many federal crimes.

          Unfortunately Harris will be much worse. She will do exactly as she is told and what she “thinks” won’t matter a whit to Obama, Rice or any other string pullers.

          She wants the power and the big book and Netflix deals when she finally makes her exit. Oh, and her mansion at Martha’s Vineyard.

          • Blackbird April 9, 2021 at 11:50 am #

            I think the Big Guy will need to die in order to be the savior of his family and the Democratic Party. Our media-manufactured tears of mourning for this “nice guy super hero” will wash away all of our false memories of impropriety. Memorial Day – in time to ignite the Summer of Hate.

            The Kamel will be muscled aside by her Number 2 – as was the plan from the beginning.

          • Ron Anselmo April 9, 2021 at 12:13 pm #

            The People will not stand for Ho’ Harris – the match in the tinder box – the “enough is enough” moment – bank it.

          • MaryV April 9, 2021 at 4:28 pm #

            @Ron or worse, what if Cacklin’ Kamela chooses something as vile as HRC as her VP?

            Of course that would also mean her days are numbered…

          • ThorsHammer April 9, 2021 at 11:42 pm #

            Abby,

            Why do you think President Obiden’s days are numbered? A mother bear gives birth to her family while sleeping peacefully and only taking one breath every four minutes. O ye of little faith in modern medicine, is there any reason why science cannot provide the same benefits to VIP humans? Is there any evidence that Joe the Snifter actually left his darkened basement during the “election campaign”? A few campaign rallies where only six people showed up? Of course there was no need to campaign because the winning total was already manufactured and counted before the election circus took place.

            Governing as HoloJoe doesn’t really require taking a breath more frequently than every four minutes as long as the den is kept warm. And why should we think that a Harris administration will be any different? Without the infusion of cash from Team Obama when absolutely no one else would support her, the Kamel would be living under a freeway bridge with her compatriot Kalifornians.

            What reason do we have to believe that Americans will not accept a Cackling HO as president? After all they bought the 911 charade crafted by Dick Cheney as gospel in spite of it requiring suspension of all known laws of physics and burying all logical evidence..

          • Ron Anselmo April 10, 2021 at 12:56 am #

            @ Mary – dead serious – seriously – I don’t think that The People will stand for one unelected official (even though we’re playing along with the Biden charade for now), much less two, especially those two maggots, Ho’ Harris & HRC – feeding on the remains of this country.

            Unelected officials are nothing more than bureaucrats. Witness Christine Lagarde, President of the ECB or Ursala von der Leyen, President of the European Commission.

            Not one constituent vote for either, yet everyone in the EU under their thumbs. Europe cannot be saved, which is not my concern, other than making sure we don’t follow suit.

          • Blackbird April 10, 2021 at 10:26 am #

            Ron,

            I think about one-third of the country would be orgasmic about the prospect of the Hildebeast back in the Big House. The enraged third? What are we gonna do? We’ll be coming here to complain about it.

            But Hills playing #2? Kackles just might step aside for Cankles to walk right on up to the top job – she knows where her bed is buttered.

          • Ron Anselmo April 10, 2021 at 6:46 pm #

            Blackbird – Maybe I give too much credit to what would be the enraged third. Would hope they’d/we’d make it a kinetic affair – the tipping point – rather than battle it via keyboards.

            The Deep State has made a pretty good effort to decapitate the Proud Boys & The Oath Keepers over the January 6th “insurrection”, but that vacuum will be filled as always.

            You are right that Ho’ Harris knows where her “bed is buttered”, she always has, from the old heels-up, mattress-back days, as she rose to prominence(?).

            Hoping that was your comedic genius, if a Freudian slip, that’s fine too – just as funny.

          • Blackbird April 10, 2021 at 9:25 pm #

            Ron,

            I think it’s kind of a matter of who’s would make the first move.

            I remember a psychological experiment regarding conformity in which several people sat in a waiting room while smoke began to roll from under a door down the highway. People sat there a long time, obviously looking at the smoke, but not saying or doing anything. You can imagine the consequences in it had not been “a test, only a test”.

          • Figaro April 12, 2021 at 8:18 am #

          > Joey NoPulse is like watching driftwood, hoping it eventually goes somewhere interesting.

          Almost like the “elites” were sending us a message with their choice of the two least popular candidates in the Democ**t
          Primary, to somehow, *somehow* become Prez and “VP”..

          Could their unspoke message be something like
          “Like it or Die, Proles!” ?

          Wait, I misspoke: “Like it *and* Die, Proles!” is closer..

          • Justin April 10, 2021 at 10:50 am #

            The message that I am getting from the globalists from their choice of the 2 worst dem candidates, and rigged election is something like:

            “We are in control, and we do whatever we want, and we don’t care if everyone knows that now, since there is nothing you can do about it!”

      • Amman April 9, 2021 at 1:00 pm #

        I dunno ’bout that…. It does have some merit….

    • JohnAZ April 9, 2021 at 10:28 am #

      Do not even try to equate DJT to the slime ball in the WH right now. This is a direct indication of how terrible the people of this country have become and how rotten to the core their government is.

      Trump may have juggled with some data to try to offset the absolutely criminal hatchet job that was aimed at him by the entire Deep State, but he never sold his own country to a foreign power. America First was his credo, not China First like the Biden gang.

      BTW, what is the history of the mob in Wilmington, Delaware? Is there a possibility that the mob is working with the cartels who are working with the Chinese who are working with our friendly globalist group?

      Just asking?

      • hortonz April 9, 2021 at 11:41 am #

        If the United States doesn’t survive Joe Biden might I suggest a merger between the states and Canadian provinces because i doubt Canada will survive much longer if our own Prince Justin manages to pull off another election victory which seems very likely, The Atlantic provinces and Quebec could join the Northeastern states and form one contiguous nation while Ontario and Manitoba would fit nicely into the Midwest. Alberta and Saskatchewan could join the American prairie states and BC could become part of the American northwest. California and the southwest would merge with Mexico and Buffalo and western New York could break off and join the American Midwest,

        • MrMangoOnMyShoulder April 9, 2021 at 11:44 am #

          I’d be open to that.

          We could all sue a little more gravy on our french fries. Plus you’ve got most of the good comedians.

          But seriously, we are very similar, just very different founding histories…that might be hard for many to overcome.

          • Blackbird April 9, 2021 at 11:56 am #

            I liked the idea until you mentioned gravy on french fries. Maybe we’d better draw up a pre-nup before getting freaky with the neighbors.

            I don’t see a marriage between Quebec and New England. I would expect a return to the status quo: arm-wrestling on the table top, footsie underneath.

          • GreenAlba April 10, 2021 at 6:56 am #

            Gravy? You ain’t seen nothing till you’ve seen chips with curry sauce. (Chips being ‘fries’, not crisps.)

            Not that I’ve tried it, but it has many fans.

            Some things in the UK, like kebabs, are often left to be enjoyed by the XY side, after a certain level of beer saturation.

            I think chips and curry sauce may be one of them.

          • MaryV April 11, 2021 at 7:14 pm #

            True about the comedians! Yowza!

            I grew up on SCTV and love all the work the same crew has done since then.

            And they are the tip of the iceberg.

        • Not_GeorgeT April 9, 2021 at 6:44 pm #

          You might want to consider not including the socialist paradise of Maskachusetts in your scheme for the Northeast. It is already a one-party state.

          On the other hand, the party in perpetual power would love to do a constant slow-drip confiscation of your wealth with their myriad overt and hidden taxes to use for for purposes far better than any you as a mere mortal would ever be capable of imagining.

        • ThorsHammer April 9, 2021 at 11:51 pm #

          Actually I’d see Quebec joining the Russia/China defensive block in that scenario. Wouldn’t that give Justin cause to wet his knickers! Along with his DC handlers.

  2. Ron Anselmo April 9, 2021 at 10:00 am #

    Morning Jim – excellent discourse as usual. Thanks. Hope spring’s unfolding nicely in your neck of the woods.

    Yes, Biden (all of them) , his handlers and enablers – abject failures with no moral compass whatsoever.

    Hard to imagine what the rest of the world thinks of this charade. Embarrassing hardly come close to describing it.

    All those years when we were panicking about peak oil, its imminence, etc, I’ll bet NO ONE anticipated that the US would instead collapse from a woke insurrection and takeover fueled by lies and hallucinations, and culminating in corruption and malfeasance so pervasive, covert and egregious that even third world nations would be ashamed to have taken it to such levels.

    • Uncle Bob April 9, 2021 at 1:07 pm #

      The gods first make mad those whom they would destroy. And brother, are they doing a hell of a job right now with America, especially with regard to our “leaders” and the propaganda we’re fed as “news.”

    • MaryV April 10, 2021 at 9:55 am #

      Yes, they got us distracted with BIG SCARY THINGS while they pulled the rug out from under us in various ways.

      It still works, and most are still distracted.

      • Ron Anselmo April 10, 2021 at 10:19 am #

        Exactly Mary – they keep going to the same well over and over – the fear routine – more than a distraction.

        At a biological level, when scared, we’re hard-wired for “fight or flight”. Unfortunately, after each successive event, more people are conditioned for flight.

        Not many fighters left – becoming les and less – the attrition.

    https://www.upi.com/Defense-News/2020/03/09/B-2-bombers-deploy-to-Europe/5961583771118/

    This deployment is seriously detrimental to peace on Earth.

    • cjf7684 April 9, 2021 at 11:34 am #

      Might have something to do with the US Secretary of Defense (ex. Raytheon Exc. ) promising Ukraine the US will support them with their invasion of the Crimean Peninsula to take it back from Russia. Will be interesting how many vassal states in the EU are on board with that idea.

    • abbybwood April 9, 2021 at 11:46 am #

      According to Pepe Escobar any attack by Ukraine and/or the United States would last about eight hours with Russia prevailing:

      https://www.unz.com/pescobar/ukraine-redux-war-russophobia-and-pipelineistan/

      The entire world would see a UN Security Council vote with China and Russia voting against the United States.

        Abby-

        I tend to agree with Pepe.

        Russia handled the US-trained and equipped Georgian military pretty easily back in 2008.

        Russia has improved its forces since 2008.

      • BackRowHeckler April 9, 2021 at 2:00 pm #

        Russia will be invading the Donbas region, in E. Ukraine.

        No way Ukraine could force the Russians out of Crimea.

        • Blackbird April 9, 2021 at 3:30 pm #

          Russia has pledged to defend the 600,000 Russian citizens in the Donbas. The Ukraine will be the one doing the invading.

      • TimBloom April 9, 2021 at 6:13 pm #

        Jim,
        I’ve been reading your blogs forever (and yes, buy your books) but don’t read the comments or respond. The only and only time prior was for your 2015 post “Cover Girl” https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/cover-girl/

        Thank you for reading that comment and thank you for reading this one.

        I read your post today and was thoroughly entertained. I’m impressed by just how much detail you dig up on just how corrupt our federal government is. I’m amused by your predictions that the fur’s gonna fly any day now. While I sadly know better I have my silly hopes, too. So who am I to douse yours?

        I checked the comments, ready to alert you to Pepe Escobar’s column but see others are alerting you, too. However, I offer the original link as Mr. Escobar doesn’t write for the UNZ Review:
        https://asiatimes.com/2021/04/ukraine-redux-war-russophobia-and-pipelineistan/

        I offer this because I think you might help “us” out more right now by focusing on how the “Biden Administration” is setting up Ukraine to seriously provoke Russia. Even if “nuclear winter” doesn’t descend on us all as a result, any response will wipe the national slate of any “petty” issues like pandemics, scandals, etc. What would you blog about then?

        Please, Please. Take the next few posts to warn us of this pending “wag the dog” ploy, weaving in the history of Victoria “F**k the EU” Nuland’s $5 billion color revolution and the obvious imperial control our empire has over the now-enthralled vasal state of Ukraine. Please make sure we are aware that the pending conflict is not a case of Russian aggression but yet another scripted event brought to us by the paranoid cowards hiding behind the potted plant.

        Maybe this senseless build-up is all just a bluff. After all, crying of a “Russian buildup” is a seasonal event:
        https://www.moonofalabama.org/2021/04/the-russian-military-build-up-.html

        But this sort of crazy-ass war-mongering is exactly what I predicted of Biden:
        https://www.moonofalabama.org/2021/04/why-the-us-might-want-war-in-ukraine.html

        Hunter Biden’s juicy indiscretions can wait. And I truly hope that you’ll have the chance to write all about them. But in the meantime, help us to remind our erstwhile leaders that their script will not fool us.

        • Blackbird April 9, 2021 at 6:29 pm #

          Tim,

          If you’ll open your question to the commentariat, rather than just Mr. K., you might be surprised by the response. Lot of well-thought-out opinions here.

          • TimBloom April 9, 2021 at 8:50 pm #

            Blackbird, consider this an open thread to encourage Mr. K to take a detour. But don’t plead or “me too” him. If he’s going to change tack toward a looming foreign policy disaster, he’ll need succinct non-wing-nut sources that provide the pre-history and document the pre-meditated nature of provoking Ukraine into suicide.

            I read Jim’s blog because he can present any complex issue he choses clearly and succinctly to any interested layman. That and he’s never boring. I try to be good at this. He’s a master. But IF he choses this, he’ll only have two days to his next column. Suggest providing links with a BRIEF explanation of its content. Save your opinions for his column.

            Thanks for the validation.

    If old John Glubb is right, the USA will reach it’s “best before date” in 2026 (1776+250). For all it’s problems, failings and hypocrisy, America has brought a lot of good into the world and its passing will be an historical tragedy

    Look around. The rule of law is dead. The $USD is a laughable joke around the world, unknown to americus boobus. The ideal of decency and fairness in one’s business with others is dead. Amerika now only consists of several groups that are jealous of and HATE each other, with zero chance of debate or reconciliation. Amerika is truly DEAD, flatlined, un-retrievable.

    The only positive outcome at this point is civil war 2 with balkanization of the former US into multiple smaller countries, a la Yugoslavia.

    • shox April 9, 2021 at 10:37 am #

      @neurodoc

      Which is EXACTLY what America’s enemies wanted. The KGB nurtured all the various cult movements (eg racial equality activists, feminists, radical leftists etc) during the Cold War, and now those movements have snowballed into an avalanche which will bury the nation and destroy it completely. The beneficiary should have been the Soviet Union, except that it no longer exists. So perhaps China and Russia will reap the benefits.

      It really is a sad tale when one ascends to a higher vantage point and sees the spectacle with a bird’s eye.

      Yep!

      When is the last time that we handled greenbacks in our daily dealings? The US dollar per se has ceased to exist being replaced by plastic cards or even just swipes. How can you respect something you never see?

      How long before China has the clout to challenge the USD as the world reserve currency? I would say in the next few years when they fly by us with their economy. We are trying to bolster our allies, a Biden thing, in the Far East. Boy are we going to be surprised when Korea, The Philippines, Japan and SE Asia all go the way of China, within a few years.

      Trump had Xis number and was countering him well. Biden sold us out to the Chinese long ago for his own and his gangs profit.

      Yugoslavia was a poorer, more primal country. As bad as the civil war there was (and compared to others, it was not as bad as it was portrayed in the West for the Croats and Bosnians–the biggest victims were the Serbs), they survived it, and for the most part have moved on, right? (I don’t see them in the news)

      Now, the smaller states of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and of course Serbia (THE Slavs that led the way in liberating their other Slav cousins from their Turkish or Austrian masters), and of course the illegal state of East Albania (aka Kosovo) are basically all pliable supplicant states to the USA, EU, NATO, Russia, China, Turkey–who ever can best manipulate the situation.

      The average Yugoslav in 1990-95, having grown up in a poor country with “Communism lite” was a lot tougher than the average American then, let alone now. We Americans can’t live without connectivity, let alone reliable electricity and running water (the first thing our “brave airmen” did was to cripple Serbia’s electrical grid and water supply). We will have a tougher time if society unravels here.

      A balkanized America….how will that look? Will Texas be able to defend itself against Mexico? How about San Diego? There is a delicious irony in Blue California being overrun by Mexicans–or perhaps, being returned to the rightful owners…..

      The world will look at a balkanized USA much like it looks a Yugoslavia….”hmmm, how can I exploit this?”. That’s how it goes.

      America had a good run. America had many challenges, which JHK’s books pointed out eloquently in a simple to understand format.
      The USA is a 65-year old, with many conditions, who keeps smoking and gaining weight, and is unwilling or unable to change to deal with “real” problems (debasement of our money, over-reliance on poor third world-labor, living beyond our means at every level), but finds time and effort to address issues that are not as key, like the real and imagined grievances of entitled groups.

      Biden is like having a stroke as all this other stuff is going on. He (He meaning his ilk, the Deep State, Republicrats, techno-elite, etc) will be the LEAD CINDER BLOCK that breaks the camel’s already broken back.

      Trump was not George Washington. Yet many of his instincts were correct. Even so, the degree to which he, as POTUS, was throttled by the Deep State is remarkable. I mean, how can all this criminal activity have gone on, on your watch, yet your justice dept did nothing. Nothing! Just play rope-a-dope, to save the FBI’s ‘reputation’ and the ‘integrity of our institutions’. What a farce!

      JHK sees more localism. I agree. But the Feds and States still have a role. The Red States tend to be hotter and have more challenges with water (see Long Emergency). There is a reason why the European immigrants went to the North 120 years ago, and why the Confederates lost their war 50 years earlier, and needed slaves to make things work before that.

      Small-town and rural parts of the mid-west are Red, but have the misfortune of being in Blue states (because of cities like Detroit, Milwaukee, and of course that model of corruption, Chicago).

      Nature abhors a vacuum. Things may play out in ways none of us imagined. How many people anticipated COVID?

        Thank you for that intelligent, and informative comment.
        You are right, a breakup of current political systems will occur. I fear the gangs will be the new warlords, since our police force is my area is being reduced and for my city in Western NYS we are number 1 in violent crime.

      • Rulo Deschamps April 10, 2021 at 2:31 pm #

        Socrates, excellent comments. The Serbs were the main force that defeated not just the Austrians and Turks, but the Axis invaders in WW2. Yugoslavia lost over a million people from 1941-45. My grandfather and his brothers were fighters under the command of Josip Broz, aka Tito.

        After the foundation of the country, it was held together for some time by the king, but tensions steadily increased until the German-Italian invasion in 1941. Then it became clear, as Yohannon (another commenter here) says, that a country and a nation are not the same thing. The Croats and the Muslim Bosnians welcomed Nazi rule, and provided support troops, the Ustashe and a Muslim SS division. These collaborationists immediately unleashed a mass murder operation against the other Yugoslav nations, especially the Serbs, and of course the Jews.

        Tito was a master strategist and politician. He out-maneuvered the Chetniks (royalist militias), and defeated the fascists in one of the largest partisan war scenarios of the WW2. While welcoming intelligence and weapons from both the USSR and Britain, he was his own man, and after the war refused to join either the Soviet or the Capitalist spheres. A self proclaimed socialist, he was in fact a cooperativist who granted a lot of self determination to the nations composing Yugoslavia, with one exception: he would not tolerate nationalism. A Croat himself, he didn’t allow Slovenes, Macedonians, or anyone else to be anything other than Yugoslavs.

        Neurodoc talks about Balkanization, and I think he’s right, but some questions arise. Geography is one, as you suggest. Specifically, in the Yugoslav example, its composing ethnicity/religion based nations had well defined ancestral areas. There’s nothing like that in the US. Is he suggesting mass internal migrations? Would that be before or after secessions? Other questions: the South is the closest to an ancestral land for both blacks and whites. What then? Micro-secessions? “Black kingdom of Atlanta”, “Republic of North Florida’?

        Also, the US ethnic blocs (I don’t think religion is a relevant factor anymore) are far from compact. Whites are split into a woke left and a traditionalist right. A sizable chunk of Hispanics, perhaps a majority, lean right. Would they automatically follow an AOC or accept the authority of gangs a la Mara Salvatrucha? I don’t think so. Asians, as ever, play their own game and are hard to read. They maybe the closest to a solid bloc, along with Native Americans.

        One thing is clear: those stoking racial and ethnic division and grievances are playing a dangerous game of sorcerer’s apprentice. At this perilous time, with resources dwindling, a looming financial catastrophe, barbarians at the gates and the CCP ready to strike at any time, E Pluribus Unum should be our religion.

        I visited Yugoslavia in ’96, shortly after their civil war. It was spring, cherry trees were in bloom, weeds and vines already covered the burnt out shells of cars and tanks. Nature always has the last word. A united people, respecting each other and Nature, can have happiness in this world. This seems, to paraphrase, “self-evident”. What a tragedy it would be if we had to go through a civil war orders of magnitude worse than Yugoslavia to arrive to this conclusion. What a waste. Heartbreaking.

        • Blackbird April 10, 2021 at 6:06 pm #

          The problem I see with the idea of civil war or balkanization is that the fault line runs through families. Not just one house divided against itself, but about 120 million houses.

          • Ron Anselmo April 10, 2021 at 7:05 pm #

            Blackbird – very good point. Many divided houses. Have thought for some time now, that the fault lines run through marriages – on purpose somehow?

            More mixed marriages than some may realize – I know quite a few. Seems women (granted, a generalization) tend to lean left, grounded in emotion, whereas men (again, a generalization) tend to lean right, as realists.

            Seems more than a few husbands & wives voted to offset each other’s votes. A friend says he “battles domestic terrorism” every day. I know what he means.

        Lock them all together in a big mansion with CCTV constantly running with a live feed to the American people and the only diversion they have is a constant supply of paint for Hunter and he is the only one allowed to paint.

        So within a year or so the whole mansion will be filled with his “art”.

        Heck! Give them a word processor so Hunter can continue writing!

          I like it. Reminds me of my old idea of the “Dictator Zoo” (which I’m still peddling if anyone’s interested…)

          In the old days we used to hang, draw and quarter, or sodomize to death washed up dictators – what a waste! Keep those devils alive and stuff ’em all into one big house – cameras everywhere all the time, visitors can even visit in person, strolling through beyond feces flinging range. Imagine the fun as Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo argue over who’s turn it is to do dishes. Watch Khrushchev wrestle with a refrigerator. Watch Hunter Biden… well, if you’re into that kinda thing…

            @Blackbird – not taking anything away from your Dictator Zoo idea – it definitely has merit.

            Yours may be too rough around the edges – take away the Dictators’ wallets, and they’re still formidable.

            In Mary’s screenplay, take away their wallets (purses?) and they’re nothing but the little bitches that they are and have always been.

          Abby – the painting angle is genius.

          But if a guy can make $120K from art that is simply a banana duct-taped to a wall, the irony would probably be that Hunter’s “art” would somehow further enrich these fuckers.

          Not taking anything away from your idea though – genius! Only Hunter can paint though – the others can only watch.

          • Blackbird April 10, 2021 at 10:32 am #

Ferry the entire Biden Crime Family ashore along with all their retainers, advisors, and lobbyists. All naked except for a hatchet to use building their own shack or whatever else they are inclined to do with it.

            She ostensibly vetoed it because she realized the courts would overturn the law on the basis that prohibiting men from participating in women’s sports is discriminatory. Of course, the she-male Rapinoe thinks it’s okay for men to play in women’s sports, probably thinking that gives her more street cred as an activist. That would change if Lionel Messi or other top-flight soccer/futbol star decided to say he’s a she and led his-her team to an annihilation of Rapinoe and her Woke-ass teammates.

          There seems to be vestiges of intense fear by the conservatives of the PTB in the Deep State.

          Never more evident than the absolute, 100% unanimous rejection of the election corruption that was put forward by many many people that directly observed it.

          The governors of the four states have risked their futures on direct political attacks against Biden’s gang.

          If Missouri has rebelled, more power to them. It is the states, and only the states that can stop the Uniparty dictatorship.

          • thirdcoastlegend April 9, 2021 at 11:37 am #

            Those governors risking their futures in such a fashion are what tell me they are forward-looking and understand that we are not going back to the way things were.

            DeSantis has been particularly notable in this regard.

          • tully April 9, 2021 at 6:24 pm #

            Missouri’s original emergency order expired last June. Gov Parsons left it up to cities/counties to do what they felt was best for their area. There was never a state mask mandate, despite Birx flying to Jeff City last October to twist the guv’s arm.

            The cities still have mask mandates and occupancy limitations. Outside the cities masks are scarce.

            Remember the Lake of the Ozarks Memorial bash at a lakeside bar and grill that caused a bit of an uproar last year? Well, they are mask free there and if weather cooperates will probably have a real blow out this year. Hopefully the media will be too busy whining about FL and TX to pay much attention. 🙂

          • Rulo Deschamps April 10, 2021 at 4:21 pm #

            DeSantis gets systematically censored and deplatformed by mass & social media. Unbelievable. A legitimate, legally elected sitting gov, with ample popular support.

            They did it to a sitting president & got away with it. They are emboldened.

          • Ron Anselmo April 10, 2021 at 9:08 pm #

            @Rulo – exactly, DeSantis is Trump’s closest disciple and the media & progressives have simply shifted to DeSantis, using the same MO to constantly badger & try to discredit him.

            Like Trump, he’s a fighter. Praying that he stays in Florida as a strong governor, rather than taking a shot at federal level governance.

            As thirdcoastlegend says, I think “Heavy D” is forward-looking and sees that things will not go back to the way they were. Regional-to-Local governance may be where it’s at. Hope he stays in Florida.

        @JohnAZ – not so much for Georgia. Sidney Powell presented and had ignored evidence of huge financial transactions between the CCP and GA Governor Kemp’s family shortly before they brought the CCP voting machines into Georgia.

        GA SOS Raffensperger was up to his eyebrows in the deal and the election fraud that accompanied it. He said this week that he would defy the law and not allow ballots to be re-counted.

        https://iotwreport.com/ga-election-chief-raffensperger-in-coverup-mode-says-plaintiff-in-fulton-co-vote-fraud-suit/

        These two are doing major damage control trying to look like they are for honest elections when in fact they did more than anyone to throw the Georgia election to Feeble Joe.

        Even after some of the evidence was shown to the court, the voting machines were connected to the internet – a violation of state and federal law.

        Georgia has fallen to the communists and Kemp and Raffensperger belong in prison.

        • farmgal April 9, 2021 at 12:44 pm #

          Our only hope here in Georgia is that Doug Collins primaries Kemp in the upcoming election cycle. I don’t think Kemp has a snowball’s chance in hell. Of course all that is predicated on the voting apparatus one is allowed to use. I swore I would never vote again but I think I have one more election in me just to give Kemp the boot. Up here in the mountains of north Georgia (where Collins is from btw). most are ready to wall off Atlanta and have our own little kingdom. Unfortunately the burbs of Atlanta stretch almost to eternity and only an interruption in the gas supply will keep the bastards trapped.

          Politics is sort of crazy in the South, In my lifetime the Dixiecrats morphed into Republicans and now the Republicans are morphing back into the dreaded other side. Almost sounds incestuous.

            I left Georgia 30 years ago. Even then, Athens was basically a suburb of Atlanta. How bad is it now — are Warner-Robins and Toccoa now considered to be parts of Hotlanta’s urban sprawl?

          • farmgal April 9, 2021 at 3:06 pm #

            @Uncle Bob – I live two hours north of Atlanta about a mile from the North Carolina border. Every weekend the traffic is miles long from Atlanta headed to our pristine beauty. Toccoa is not quite yet a suburb but Commerce might as well be. When I was younger I remember someone saying that someday the Atlanta suburbs would stretch from Rome to Athens on the north side and from LaGrange to Macon on the south side. It’s almost true. As to kissin’ kin, north Georgia locals might as well be Tennessee or western North Carolina. In fact I think there was talk in the late 1700’s about making this area the state of Franklin. Too bad it didn’t work out.

        • Justin April 10, 2021 at 12:46 pm #

          Yes, I am noticing that same trend too. More and more States are standing up and claiming their authority by pushing back the federal over reach. Look at how many States have legalized cannabis. I lost count, but it is more than half, and they all used the 10th Amendment to nullify and ignore the federal prohibition.
          Many States have also nullified Civil Asset Forfeiture theft, and many have nullified any federal gun control schemes. The 10th Amendment might be the silver bullet we need, if it is used more as it should be, and States exercise their authority more.

But constantly looking for new things to fix or change “just because it’s the progressive thing to do” is not a winning strategy. It confuses, angers and dislodges people.

    Well, they’re winning hearts and minds of half the population at the moment…I’m talking about the long run for a society. Not a win.

    • JohnAZ April 9, 2021 at 10:41 am #

      The real problem is that the progressive solutions make every issue facing the country worse.

      • MrMangoOnMyShoulder April 9, 2021 at 10:52 am #

        Yes, it does seem that that has becoming the true goal, as opposed to actually fixing anything.

        It’s a mad clown show out there, folks.

      • Hereward the Woke April 9, 2021 at 2:59 pm #

        That’s only a problem for patriots and sane people. Biden’s strategy is just like Obama’s: how much damage will this action or EO cause to America and how much encouragement will it give her enemies?

    • Pete April 9, 2021 at 10:58 am #

      “they’re winning hearts and minds of half the population at the moment”

      They are. What has unfolded before our very eyes is nothing short of breath taking, and brilliantly executed. Nefarious intent, no doubt, by those who planned it, but brilliant in how effective it was.

      What is in those hearts and minds?

      The abundance in America since our founding has attracted many here. What is diversity, if it can’t be described as a ‘melting pot,’ as America was once described? Racist, my ass. That idea was put into those hearts in minds, and they were used like a blunt instrument to pummel the left’s, right wing into submission.

      The abundance in America has created an entitlement mindset among those who didn’t have a hand in building that abundance. They only had a hand out to receive it. They’ve only know that. They only have goodness in their hearts, and socialism is their vehicle.

      The psychopathic ‘families,’ there are many like the Bidens, use these triggers to steer their herd.

      Will America Survive? I think America, as I knew it, is already dead. Life does go on, however, so defending something that is already dead seems pointless. I can only defend my family now.

      Some of my family don’t want defending. They have been so egregiously traumatized by the Corona Carnival coming to town, they don’t want to be in my company, as I won’t take the vaccine. And so it goes.

      • Blackbird April 9, 2021 at 11:17 am #

        America, a bloated carcass on the side of the road. Surprised the Canadians aren’t complaining about the smell – such polite neighbors. On the southern border however, mmmmm, smells like breakfast!

        • abbybwood April 9, 2021 at 12:57 pm #

          They are too busy quarantining their citizens and making those who fly back from anywhere outside Canada spend $2,000 for a hotel with an eight hour wait for food when the persons own house is a mile away.

          The stench of that overpowers the US stench.

      • Yohannon April 9, 2021 at 12:33 pm #

        The Founders would have rejected the melting pot. In fact they did – having no intention of ever giving Blacks and Indians citizenship. Many look askance at Germans and Irish Catholics. They were far, far more narrow (focused) than we are. And that’s what would have saved us.

      • Hereward the Woke April 9, 2021 at 2:57 pm #

        Exactly, Pete. The whole China flu charade with its useless masks et al has made us all rethink our primary groups. It used to be close family, but when most of them believe the hysteria and get the jab, what do we have in common? I used to sneer at people who had no friends in real life but hundreds on FB. Now I don’t. Most of the people around me – especially the ones who thought of themselves as “rebels” before all this – have drunk the kool-aid. Now the people I get on most with are often on the ether 10000 miles away. Our primary groups aren’t what they were back in Feb 2020.

          • neurodoc April 9, 2021 at 3:39 pm #

            That requires leaving Amerika, and moving one’s wealth out of the decrepit $USD. The latter is easy with asset digitalization; the former not so much, unless, of course, you can work from a computer anywhere.

          It astounds me to see people who have questioned the government and were skeptical of “official” explanations their whole lives fall for the covid BS hook, line and sinker.

          I cannot wrap my brain around it. But I understand better how Hitler and the Nazis rose to power. Propaganda: 24/7/365. And the PTB today have much more effective channels to use now than Hitler did.

          I ditched TV years ago; perhaps that is why I’ve continued to question

          • MaryV April 10, 2021 at 11:31 am #

            Yes, I also now truly understand how Hitler & Nazis came to power.

            Sad that our population was hypnotized/tortured/coerced into behaving like proverbial Good Germans.

        This bullying about the vaccine seems to be the norm. My family as well said no dice, unless I get the vaccine, please do not come around. I know others that have the same experience. Seems to be a power and control maneuver that they have picked up from the MSM.

            Hi Mary

            A few years back I came aboard a large sailing yacht in Newport to deliver it to it’s winter home in the Caribbean. My crew were friends of the owner, successful elite lawyers and Manhattan property developers. Somewhere in midnight discussions about human nature i let fly with the opinion that Americans were as fully capable of manning the gas ovens as Germans or any other nationality— as demonstrated by the Milligram experiments.

            I’ve never been good about keeping my mouth shut, but opening it in the middle of the Atlantic ocean while surrounded by two Jewish crew members was perhaps an error in judgement! LOL

            That came out of leftfield, unexpected, a Black Swan. Brought out the worst in people.

            TV is a big part of it. I, too, got rid of it many years ago.

            @Rulo, the TV is evil

            I stopped watching in 2012. I didn’t watch much before. Just goofy stuff. THe news started getting freakish. I detected it. I stopped.

            Same thing has happened, my TV watching family is mostly nuts. Also, I suspect some ‘believe’ because they got COVID19 bribery money (it’s wide-spread).

            Disgusting what this plandemic reveals about basic intelligence and inner nazis in so many people.

    • Yohannon April 9, 2021 at 12:30 pm #

      Quite so. “Change” or permanent revolution became a way of life – by definition an unsustainable one. Obama showed its fatuity by campaigning on it without ever having to talk what he wanted to change to. As if anything is better than what we had. Which of course was a stance of complete ignorance and ingratitude, but one assiduously inculcated by Academia.

    I have to wonder if the current ginned-up hysteria about hate crimes against Asians doesn’t come from the CCP. The actual crimes are quite rare, and most commonly committed by Blacks. At the same time, the Biden administration is promoting the most serious anti-Asian racism in the USA – university admissions quotas, by quashing the Dept. of Justice’s support for the Asian lawsuit over Harvard admissions ant-Asian discrimination.

    • Yohannon April 9, 2021 at 12:36 pm #

      Biden is or at least was far more of a race realist than Trump ever was in regards to Blacks.

      Whites are also discriminated against in the Ivy League, but never got as far as the Asians did. Tragically, they never even tried.

    What you wrote is true beyond dispute, JHK. Yet your essay can sail through the heads of some people (whom I need not name here) without ever making contact with a neuron. The willfully ignorant are such an annoyance.

    In other news, Prince Philip, the Queen’s husband is dead at 99. He once said he would like to be reincarnated as a deadly virus so he could kill a few hundred million people (since there are too many people in the world). What a lovely, gracious thought about those who supported him in a long life of luxury.

    He certainly deserves to have the next pandemic named in his honor.

      “He once said he would like to be reincarnated as a deadly virus so he could kill a few hundred million people”

      I thought the same thing when I heard that news…he may well get his chance after all. Interesting timing.

      It’s sad a frail old man died and all…but if *any* of the myriad conspiracy writers over the last several decades were anywhere near on the right track in regards to him…he, in particular, was not a good man behind closed doors.

            Pride, the sin of Satan, is the root of the problems we face. It causes us to believe we deserve anything we can imagine, even if we lack the ability to achieve goals or harness talents that are necessary to obtain what we think we deserve. Pride causes us to lie, cheat, steal, kill, or commit any other sin or crime we can name, all so we can have what we think we want. When we realize what we thought we wanted isn’t really what we wanted, we move on and repeat the process, over and over again — usually blaming others for our own unhappiness. Kind of sounds like the acts of spoiled brats — and Progressives.

    Thing is, Jen Psaki, Biden’s mouthpiece, is in front of national media every day. Jim raises good points and you’d think at least one of the correspondents shouting questions at Psaki would bring some of this up. But they don’t. Instead it’s all softball inquiries, some of them about Biden’s dog. It’s almost as if these celeb reporters and Big Dem Pols are on the same team.

      • Night Owl April 9, 2021 at 11:35 am #

        This has been the case for a while. The episode that got the most attention was Ken Dilanean who was at the LA Times and then the Washington Compost.

        There was a great piece at The Intercept on it a number of years ago. The guy literally sent his stories for editing in advance, and there were troves of text messages in which he is seen agreeing to regurgitate propaganda on demand.

        Sadly, The Intercept itself has fallen, and Glenn Greenwald has moved to Substack, which The Beast is also trying to either coopt or shut down.

        • Night Owl April 9, 2021 at 11:39 am #

            Assange would be out of prison by now if the US hadn’t said it’s appealing against the refusal to extradite.

            So he’s currently still there pending the US appeal and the judge’s decision on it.

            Hopefully the US appeal will fail and he can get back to his family. He won’t be safe travelling, of course, until the long arm of the US law loses interest in him. So, for a while.

          • Night Owl April 10, 2021 at 4:31 pm #

            The only reason he is there is that the UK is a 5EYES US lapdog.

    “The gross failure of federal authority, and abuse of authority, in this land is an ongoing process. You can date it back to wherever you like — say, to all the confusion and deception around the JFK assassination, or even further — but it had never been so broad, so deep, and so blatant as when Donald Trump became a candidate and all the resources of the CIA, DOJ, and the FBI were marshaled against him in the phony operations that became RussiaGate. Now, under Joe Biden, the system is entirely poisoned and corrupt.”

      The US problem is not it’s government or the crooks that run it.

        The problem is us, ok, sure, but the problem is also the crooks that run the government (and the media mouth-piece). When the people are robbed, lied to, and cheated by their so-called government, they are likely to make poor decisions.

      The fact I find the most in our face is Hunter Biden lying on the background check form about drug use when he bought the gun. Then the Secret Service detail he had no right to actually tried to shake down the gun store owner for the original and the owner refused.

      Major felony for Hunter and the rest of us common folk yet no mention of this in the MSM or in his “book”.

      • BackRowHeckler April 9, 2021 at 2:55 pm #

        It is a felony, punishable by 5 years in federal prison.

        One thing that surprises me about the riots in Portland, Seattle and Minneapolis: DAs in those cities have expressed support for the mobs in the streets, and have refused to prosecute rioters who’ve been arrested, releasing them straight away. Even for pretty serious violent crimes against persons, police and property, DAs chose not to prosecute. When I read that rioters who have been arrested and found carrying illegal firearms were not being prosecuted, I knew something was amiss. A line had been crossed.

        The wokies who claim to despise white privilege all adore Hunter Biden and won’t believe anything but that he’s a victim and truly ‘sorry’ and never committed any crime. Victimhood gets you a free pass for all sorts of horrible behavior.

        And this, even though his entire life has been the quintessential definition of white privilege on the level that few in history are the beneficiaries of.

        These people have lost their everlovin’ minds.

        • Pete April 10, 2021 at 11:42 am #

          If this isn’t double-think in action, I don’t know what else is…

          Last week, I said Joe Biden trained in a Dixiecrat dojo in addition to pointing out Hunter’s privilege poster boy status, as yet another example of Democrat double-think.

          I’ll let them both explain my point…

          “I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side…Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”

          Senator Robert Byrd

          —————————————————-

          “To me…for a lot of us, he was a mentor and a friend, and for a lot of us, he was a guide,”

          Premier Joe Biden, at Byrd’s funeral.

          • MaryV April 10, 2021 at 4:45 pm #

            Well, Pete? The only think they do is double-think.

            They’re well trained into it now.

            Shame on you for YOUR white privilege. But Hunter Biden? Poor victim of having a famous dad – or some other bullshit reason. They can justify anything, no matter how ridiculous, if it’s someone in their camp.

            Since 2008 I have battled against HRC supporters, who refuse to see her for the monster she is. And her husband, for the rapist he is. They shrug it off even when presented with factual data, lawsuits, etc. So what can you do? IDPol is strong. Just look at Tekapo.

            The same women #MeToo-ing over Donald Trump’s behavior with women look the other way at the Bidens’ unbelievable abuse of women. And so it goes.

        • Tekapo April 10, 2021 at 2:41 pm #

          The wokies who claim to despise white privilege all adore Hunter Biden and won’t believe anything but that he’s a victim and truly ‘sorry’ and never committed any crime.

          Can you actually name one wokie who “adores” Hunter Biden (apart from Dad Joe, and I’d have serious doubts that he even does)?

          He’s a sleaze and a grifter, living shamelessly off the fame and prestige of the father. But he’s not Robinson Crusoe there – look at the Trump spawn, or the Kennedys.

          Victimhood gets you a free pass for all sorts of horrible behavior.

          Trump was a master of that … spent four years whingeing and whining that everybody was being nasty to him.

          Hunter Biden gets off lightly because his antics are kindergarten stuff compared to the Trump Family … that’s what I think is the “Zeitgeist” of the whole issue.

          • MaryV April 10, 2021 at 4:46 pm #

            Which one of Trump’s sons has a crack addiction, had an illigitimate child with a stripper then refused to pay child support, or whose wife took his illegal gun away from him?

            The “Oh but Trump is so much worse” trope is no longer working. The Bidens are disgusting treasonous racist garbage.

          • Tekapo April 10, 2021 at 8:02 pm #

            The “Oh but Trump is so much worse” trope is no longer working.

            I think it worked very well before the election, ad probably still runs well among many.

            I don’t necessarily buy that the whole “deep state” was in cahoots to get rid of Trump (although I concede that JHK lays out some fairly persuasive timelines for sure),

            But I think there were enough in authority, and in the media, and certainly enough voters, who were willing to overlook many things that might have endangered a Joe Biden win – it was always going to be a tight race.

            The Trump misdeeds relate mainly to grift – the Brand made a lot of money over the four years – including from a lot of ordinary people who will never have the wealth of a Trump.

            But it might have been a short-term sugar hit – the Brand is suffering now it seems.

          • Pete April 11, 2021 at 1:24 pm #

            Trump is a victim. You cannot have witnessed the last 6 years in our political discourse and come away with any other opinion. And that makes his constituents victims as well.

            What is more, the constituency of the democrat party are victims too. Most don’t know it yet, but many are catching on. I think conservative black people are feeling very disenfranchised by the Democrats. After all, Biden is a Dixiecrat at heart. It’s why Obama didn’t like him, and probably still doesn’t. Biden is also brain dead, which is why Obama can tolerate him now. But I digress.

            Trump is gone. Leave it, and argue the bigger picture. Are you willing to fritter away your liberty pretending this is going back to normal? What does the future look like to you? What lies ahead for us as the Democrats implement their agenda, the packed court, yada, yada? Seriously, enough with orange man bad.

    Dimitri Orlov laid out the stages of collapse in his earlier book about the impending collapse of the United States and the Biden presidency fits neatly with the political collapse part.

      Look around and watch what China is doing. They are buying up the world, lock, stock and barrel. They are taking a supportive tack on their dealings with nations. They will put the US, the war monger, down with false benevolence. Every thing will be cool, until someone wants to disagree. Right now, Africa is overwhelmed by China, and new data shows they are taking over South America. The Silk Road and RR will open the Middle East and Southern Europe and our oil advantage will go up in smoke. The Far East will not have a choice. A few buttons pushed here and there, and the US is history as SP #1.

      I forgot Mexico and Canada, our allies. Yeah right, both would love to see the US go down.

    Another excellent piece, James!

    I’m very glad to see even some of the Biden family crimes and misdemeanors in one spot, handy to share with others.

    When I saw the MSM glowingly celebrating Hunter’s book deal and their loving support of his rehabilitation I had a good laugh. They truly want us to buy some incredible nonsense. It’s unfortunate that so many outright refuse to even hear anything negative about POTATUS and his family’s depravity, despite mountains of evidence.

    Here’s a good one, too, you could add to the list: Hunter impregnated a stripper. Then, even with all his CCP millions, refused to pay child support (even though acknowledged the child was his). This was at the same time as he was bedding his dead brother’s wife, and panting after his niece (admittedly smoking crack and walking around naked with her present).

    And, let’s not let FauxJoe off the hook in the sexual depravity department. Hair-sniffing and feeling up kids in public view aside, his own daughter’s diary exposed his inappropriate showering with her, and then stories by ex-SS details about his behavior in general. Tara Reade, anyone? Oh wait, her MeToo moment didn’t really come. Democrat women everywhere called her a whore and a liar, although her accusations are quite credible.

    And then let’s not forget Droolin’ Joe’s misogynistic treatment of Anita Hill at those hearings. That’s when I first realized the man was a piece of garbage.

    And then, to cap it all off – Corn Pop’s rival was caught out as a serial plagiarist and liar back in the 1980’s, when the media actually criticized such things, and which almost ended his political career. Unfortunately, it didn’t. The outright lies about having 3 degrees when he barely made it out with 1 should have ended it. But perhaps his utter depravity and willingness to boldface lie was the very reason he was chosen by the people pulling his strings now.

    https://youtu.be/gmW_CLyjqgY

    • SW April 9, 2021 at 11:13 am #

      Hunter only paid child support for the stripper’s child after he was forced to take a DNA test and couldn’t slither out of it.

      Joe has always been protected by the credit card companies based in Delaware — one hand washes the other so to speak — so revelations that would have put some other Senator out of business, rolled off him. They have a lot of people in their PR departments.

      • MaryV April 9, 2021 at 11:21 am #

        Yes, Hunter only paid up after legal moves were made.

        I have a theory that once you display the type of utter depravity the puppeteers demand, you’re selected for ‘duty’.

        I can’t otherwise figure out why someone like Hastert – a high school coach fired for being a pedo – made it to Speaker of the House.

        It’s almost as if they are recruited FOR their depravity.

          Even though the Biden families’ dirty laundry is out for the world to see, it could still work this way. Imagine if it had been one of the Trump sons — the media would have destroyed him and the Bidens know it could happen to them too if they turn on them.

    I appreciate the author’s categorization of the US as a nation.
    It exudes optimism.
    But I am being courteous.

    I am unsure of what a national news media is. At least here.
    What we have are corporate propaganda organs.
    No longer content with the mere withholding of information, they have moved on to disinformation. And even game that gets old.
    So they have moved on to hit pieces and character assassinations.
    And cancellations.

    Desantis in the crosshairs with Hunter in the crossed arms, coddled.
    Remember Seinfeld?
    Bizarro world.
    Upside down.

    Many people here, and across this country, need to get reacquainted with Kubler-Ross.

    Bargaining. Denial.
    Both?

    This society is gone.
    Liberty and freedom?
    Gone.

    We are in a totalitarian society.

    Tech-media/telecommunications, infotainment, state intelligence, “elected” governance, the bureaucratic leviathan, the armed forces, the national police, the .1%, and now, too, the sundry corporations of America, are all in lock-step.

    We are all prisoners here.
    There is nowhere to run.

    No glades, no forests, no small forgotten villages beyond the barbed wire, beyond the panopticon.

    No freedom.

    Survive?
    No.

    The GOP?
    Mitch?

    The uniparty?

          That said, if you can still go for a walk, meet up at a friend’s place to watch a game or play ping pong, or go into a store to buy a cabbage or cheez doodles, all is not yet lost. Masks notwithstanding, things are generally still “permissibly normal”, at least here in the Upper Midwest. The people are getting dumber at an alarming rate, true…but we can all still act as if it’s “okay”. For now.

          In the macro, we’re absolutely fucked. In the micro, still generally hanging in there just fine in daily life. Once covid lockdowns started, I felt the micro shrink a good deal, while the macro-entities became engorged. A giant sucking sound from the individual to the power structure exists, yes.

          But it ain’t over yet.

            Lol. If you think you can out-pessimist me at the core, you’re likely mistaken.

            But of late I’ve also been paying attention to actual daily life (moreso than “the way we’re headed”, and what we theorize based on the ugliness that is surrounding us) and have realized that most of the actual pain is a ways ahead of us yet. These things haven’t taken place yet…but they’re in process and definitely coming.

            Low bar of freedom…okay. Like I said, if you can still do those things, you still have those freedoms. Just pointing that out to add a shred of positivity into an otherwise dark echo chamber (of which I am a rumpled denizen).

            And yes, “still above ground” IS a level of freedom. History has shown us many that weren’t given that option.

          • Wizard of the Saddle April 11, 2021 at 12:32 pm #

            I am of the opinion that freedom is nowhere near completely gone……yet……but the freedom stripping trial balloon project is well underway.

            The mass voluntary compliance with unlawfully enacted and throughly unconstitutional COVID restrictions gave encouragement to the rascals, which is why the worst of them, like Cuomo and Whitmer, continue to push the edge of the envelope, probing to see how far they can go before the damn thing tears.

            But this experiment is not over. The most ominous development for the elite PTB is how vigorously Americans have been exercising their 2nd Amendment rights in the past year, with month after month of all-time record gun and ammo and prepper equipment sales. The American people are quite literally engaged in a RUN on weapons to defend themselves with. This indicates that a substantial portion of the electorate are NOT sheeple.

            As it was designed, the 2nd Amendment is our fire extinguisher for use against the pyromaniacs who want to torch our Constitution and burn our republic to the ground. The sign on this red encased glass box says, “In case of impending tyranny, break glass.”

            The Democr……er…….Communist Party operates on Mao’s insightful observation that “All power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” For this reason, the Obamaite cabal controlling the Biden Regime are probing, looking for ways to undermine the 2nd Amendment or, failing that, to neuter it or do end-runs around it. This what all of the gun related EO’s from the Crypt Keeper were about last week.

            I am encouraged to see GOP governors and state legislatures beginning to exercise the doctrines of state sovereignty and state interposition and nullification to run interference against Communist efforts to remove firearms from the hands of the American people. The establishment of gun sanctuaries and the passage of state laws reaffirming the founder’s conviction that any federal law that is repugnant to the U.S. Constitution is NULL and VOID is the correct ground for the Free States to take a stand on.

            In the end, whether Liberty perishes or survives this storm will be determined by the fight over gun rights. The 2A is the amendment in the Bill of Rights that guarantees all of the others. Freedom is not gone until guns in private hands are gone. It is my view that the gun control debate ENDED the second millions of Americans rushed the gun stores with the last of their savings to buy AR’s, handguns and plenty of lead. As has always been the case in the past, the Democrats…..excuse me again…….Communists, refuse to believe the evidence of their own eyes. Americans will never give up their guns. Never. Not without a fight.

            Any attempt at gun confiscation guarantees the breakup of the union and a Yugoslav style war of Balkanization of the United States. So, either the woke hysteria passes or we will have war. If civil war comes, it will be, as General Nathan Bedford Forrest once sagely and accurately observed, “A War to the Knife…..and the Knife to the HILT.” So if that is what the idiot-shit, blue state Leftists are aching for, I’m quite convinced it is precisely what they will be on the receiving end of.

            Real Americans have HAD IT. If the government fails to protect them, they will protect themselves. Self-defense is the most basic of human rights as a matter of Natural Law.

          I wonder, are Russia and especially China hold-outs or are they instigators? Does Putin just want his SSR empire back, when Xi wants the rest of it? Does Xi want it all?

          We have discussed ad infinitum about the globalist movement by the international financiers. Are they the ultimate power folks in the world, or is China/Russia the capo di tutti capo? Even among the two communist governments, their doctrine is so different that eventually they will Duke it out.

          Irony, God’s fingerprint, says that China will prevail in the world. We are very poor competition in the US. China was taught by the US after WW2 how to run an economy. They must have taken good notes because they are using state managed capitalism to stick a fatal spear into our economy. We handed the world to them.

          When they open the Silk Road, it is finished for us as the Eastern Hemisphere and most of the Western Hemisphere will become Sino-centric. It is inevitable.

          BTW, how much were the Chinese involved in the election corruption guaranteeing Trump’s loss? A really good question that is unfortunately a moot point now.

            Excellent chicken and egg question. We plebs may never know and anyway, the outcome will probably be the same whatever the answer. My bet is that the arrogant psychopaths at the WEF love China as the “go-to” model for the rest of us (total state control over every aspect of our lives) and believe in their hubris that they can control her. I believe they are severely mistaken, and as you point out, China will be the next Numero Uno. As for Putin, I think he’s what he seems to be: a Russian nationalist strongman trying to return the country to its past “glories”. The DS hates him, so that’s one thing in his favor.

            I agree that the USA’n people should find common cause with the Russian people – it’s there, we just need to find it. But hoping for a Russian/American alliance at this point is a bit like hoping for a Russian/German alliance in the late spring of ’41. Errr, maybe January of ’42.

Don’t know much about her or her foundation but it brings out some interesting points how after WWII Dulles and Deep State tried to cut the USSR out of the post-war global power structure. The main thrust of the article is the JFK/ CIA power struggle which of course leads down the rabbit hole of the entire assassination thing. I always thought America had much more in common with Russia than China and your point as to an alliance with them makes more sense than most people night think. Why do you suppose the Dems hate Putin so?

            Assimilated: Good use of terminology, Mary.

            Not to get to nerdy here, but the Great Wokester Hegemon Project seems completely analogous to the Borg Collective from sci-if’s Star Trek. (GOOGLE “The Borg,” if you are not already a fan of Star Trek and familiar with this.)

            The Borg demanded immediate and unconditional surrender from every civilization they encountered. The bottom line with them was that “Resistance is futile. Prepare to be assimilated.”

            But that declaration was a lie.

            Resistance is NOT futile. You do NOT have to surrender and prepare to be assimilated into the Wokester Collective.

            So long as we retain the means of our own collective self-defense with the 2A and State Sovereignty, our situation is not yet hopeless.

            Many here would do well to spend some time studying the writings of the great John C. Calhoun of South Carolina. Possessed of a truly formidable mind, Calhoun understood better than perhaps any other statesman in American history the permanent threat of centralized federal tyranny and he articulated the doctrines that the States could exercise to rein-in the would-be power usurpers in Washington.

            Calhoun may be out of style today with the Wokesters, but this is all the more reason for lovers of American Constitution freedom to study him today.

            Right now, the Wokesters are throwing open our borders to import a new people to replace the citizens of this country whose voting habits and beliefs upset them. What they are attempting to erect is a “Tyranny of the Majority” using a pliable mass of imported, illiterate, Third World peasants. Calhoun’s doctrines were expressly designed to protect the citizens of this country from waking up one day in a Mob Democracy where 50.01% of the electorate could strip away all of the liberties of the other 49.99% of the electorate.

            I’ve got no problem with super old – as long as I never quit learning. But at this point, I don’t think that world will be worth living in.

            And so I’ve got no problem with missing out on super old. I do however, have a problem with the intervening decisions being taken from me.

            Thank you, Blackbird. You look past the messenger to consider the message.

            if you strip away the Sunday school rhetoric all will agree that The Mark being required to buy and sell is feasible, even practical, while being completely ludicrous Just 14 months ago.

            There will be many scoffers. They seem, to me, to logically run with the monumental hubris:

            If God were Real, He would have revealed Himself to me while I ignore Him by now. Therefore, He does not exist.

            and/or

            If God were Real, explain Haiti.

            Of course, God is Real and our puny, little brains cannot possibly comprehend His Glory or His motives. Of course, we must know our place in this breath-taking symphony.

            They say things like
            “The lord”

            Cathaholics pay a pederast to read it to them.

            I am a unique Catholic. I went to Public School but was confirmed. I briefly was an alter-boy. Untouched and never heard of any paedo nothing at The Good Samaritan.

            I read the Bible but not nearly as much as I should.

            I quit taking the Lord’s name in vain decades ago.

            I have said, “The Lord” many times on many posts.

            I didn’t like when White guys starting calling each other Brother in Canada and never got on board with that lame-ass culture appropriation.

    Maybe all the good people that have separated themselves from the evil politics of the world. Whatever that means.

    One item, Jesus returns as the Lion of God? That is what the Jews wanted Him to be with the Romans.

      JohnAZ, I also often wonder if that Rapture story is to be believed, or is it just another kind of religious “Trust the Plan” story? I don’t know, but I do often hope for an asteroid extinction event or maybe a pole shift to cause another global flood to cleanse this planet of its disease?
      It seems that most people fear death because dying alone is what is frightening. Dying with every one else at the same time does not seem so bad. To me at least…

      The only bad thing about an extinction event is that those sick psychopaths who have ruined this world might be the ones who survive in their underground bunkers. Imagine the horrific irony of them being the ones to repopulate the earth…

    The Republic, “Res Publica”, is already functionally dead, but Biden, like Trump before him, is a symptom, not the disease. He is only bayoneting the wounded, not fighting against a formidable foe.

    We have fallen to natural processes, human Nature-al, aggravated by the weight of our lies and delusions. The greatest delusion is that life is, could be, or should be ‘fair” and that government’s role is to assure that.

    The nation will survive in some format, albeit with a different amalgamation of population under whoever sits on top (probably much the same as sits there now). There is too much natural wealth remaining in the rivers, soil, and minerals for it to lay fallow.

    Whoever survives to sit on top will not be “fair”. That is one of the few things you can rely on.

    • Yohannon April 9, 2021 at 1:43 pm #

      And the biggest “not fairzies” was the idea that Whites had to share it with it other races. The Founders would have been flabbergasted at that one.

      That is probably true. All of human history is a continuous conquering of nations/tribes/people by the conquerors. The 2 main types of people are the conquerors/predators and their victims. I call this planet the 4-P planet, for the Pests, Parasites, Predators and Psychopaths. There is nothing fair about about it, but fairness is a noble goal.

      The breeze arrives with a gentle pull on the long blades. A caress that enters your sleeve. A playful tumble of last year’s leaves across the lawn, across the path.

      Long before the dark sky over the horizon.
      And the bending limbs.

      The upturned leaves. They always snap me to.
      To the approaching storm.
      The upturned leaves. From tree to tree.
      Waving upon the arrival of what allowed you a gentle introduction.
      That you ignored.

      Already today.
      Woke merchants. Quite literally (Levi’s)
      Are calling for gun control.
      An epidemic.
      And we all know how we respond to epidemics.
      We are all against them.
      But the deniers are hiding behind an antiquated law.
      An antiquated shield.
      A misappropriated one.

      We all agree that a court of 9 people cannot hold our fate in the hands of the epidemic.
      We all agree that the court must be altered so as to alter the law so as to drop the shield.

    My, my, a lot of negative thinking today. War will do us in, either the China-Taiwan war, the Russia-Ukraine war, or the Israeli-Iran war (I may be forgetting some other world-ending conflicts).

    Or maybe we’ll all die in the new ice-age that’s coming, or are we going to fry in global warming? Or when we run out of oil, desertification, wide-area fires, and water depletion? The US is doomed, we’ve been taken over by communists, while this new situation – corruption – is taking us down. Oh, yeah, chem-trails will kill millions and God is preparing to end us, btw.

    And looming over all this is mass death-by covid vaccines.

    C’mon you guys, adjust your tinfoil hats and add more creative – if old – scenarios, like an asteroid strike, lizard-men created destruction, Yellowstone exploding, world-ending pole shifts, the sun turning off or giving us a CME hotfoot. Hey, I’ll even do my part and add the end- of-the-world coming at us when we approach a huge poisonous gas cloud region as we rotate around the galaxy.

      Conflict in the Donbas region of Ukraine is not some crazy speculative event Bill, but one that is unfolding right now, today. My personal opinion is, if conflict breaks out, the Russian army will crush the Ukranian army in about a week, with NATO issuing a flurry of official protests and objections but that is all. Maybe a few more sanctions will be slapped on too.

      On the other hand, things could spin out of control. For example, the DoD has suggested we send a Destroyer or two into the Black Sea. Well, Russia considers the Black Sea their own personal lake, what if the Russian Navy sinks one of our ships? Considering the anti Russian rhetoric generated by spiteful Dems over the past 4 years I could see thing easily getting out of hand.

      Looming in the background are 11, 000 thermo nuclear warheads.

        • SpeedyBB April 12, 2021 at 7:14 am #

          When I read about such a puzzling or seemingly inexplicable act (sending American Navy ships charging around the Black Sea) I just wonder whether It is a case of “Hey, don’t forget us. We’re making ourselves useful by showing the flag, beating the drum, just as you paid us for”.

          The complaints over Russia moving into Crimea (as much a Russian territory as the US Virgin Islands are an American one) are puzzling unless you consider it as theater (dangerously provocative however it might be).

          From Wiki: “Catherine the Great’s incorporation of the Crimea in 1783 from the defeated Ottoman Empire into the Russian Empire increased Russia’s power in the Black Sea area.” Is anything clearer?

          A bloated, over-funded military is desperate to justify itself. That could come to a very unfortunate conclusion, quite suddenly. But who will stop them?

      • beantownbill. April 9, 2021 at 5:53 pm #

        Marlin, I used that conflict as an example of people’s end-of- world doom-mongering, not as a tinfoil-hat concept. I have just enough faith to believe, no matter how bad the Ukraine situation gets, that we won’t get involved in a nuclear war over it, although it could get scary.

        I was 17 at the time of the Cuban missile crisis, and I remember how many people were terrified that that was the end. If I was older, I could have gotten rich taking odds on no-war bets. I remember distinctly then that I wasn’t worried in the least because I didn’t believe a nuclear war would happen. I still feel that way. Of course, when the USSR dissolved, Ukraine had stored Soviet nukes, so who knows now? Still, Imdon’t think so.

      The only thing this world, this existence, promises you upon your first breath
      is a last breath.

      Every moment in-between is largesse.

      Appreciative of those moments, one learns how they are lived best.

      One also learns that others have their idea how your moments should be best lived.

      To recognize this, to be circumspect, to be protective, is not negativity.

        You look at the clouds, at the sea, what do they say? They say “I was here forever before you, will be here forever after you, I’m indifferent to your existence”

        If one lives long enough, that translates into “my existence is indeed insignificant, except for the good I can do and the joy and gratefulness I can feel or bring into the world”.

        Every moment is largesse, cradle to grave. We waste many, but some are golden, better than any gold.

          Another example could be when many of us foretold that the lockdown was not going to end at 2 weeks, when the masking started we said it was not temporary and we were called tinfoil hats, but we were right. It will go on and on until people stand up and end it. People said there was no way in hell we’d be injected with chips or forced to use Vaxx passes and they are openly working on both. So.

          Also, when the media was reporting people dropping dead in the streets and predicting 2 million people would die in the US, I knew it was bullshit, but when I posted the actual numbers (or as close as I could get given the CDC pads them to sell vaccines), it was never over 1%. And people called me a conspiracy theorist, but I was correct.

      @ beantown bill:

      Spit-roasting rats? That will be a gourmet meal. In Gates 60 minutes interview he previewed the diet the rabble could look forward to:

      “This company, Nature’s Fynd, is using fungi. And then they turn them into sausages and yogurt. Pretty amazing.”

      Yes, this yummy fungus grows in volcano vents or something and sounds quite promising and comes in several flavors. My guess is the little Gateses won’t be eating this on their billion dollar solar-powered yacht. This forward-looking Gates enterprise also is flogging some meat-thing b/c there’re too damn many animals on the planet for everyone to have hamburgers!

      It’s hard to know what threats will escalate into crises and what have been overblown and will evaporate on their own. I moved within the last year to a small town in North Texas and I can tell you the poverty is real. And this isn’t the recent covid-caused job loss — this is ongoing, having a hard time paycheck to paycheck for years. My guess? The slow steady erosion of people’s ability to simply maintain their health due to out of reach medical care, poor nutrition and chronic financial stress.

If the Earth ever happens to find itself on the receiving end of one of these it truly will be GAME OVER for nearly all life on this planet. Won’t take long either. From Planet of Life to lifeless ball of rock in about 5 or 10 minutes. Worst part: We’ll never see it coming and there’s not a damn thing you can do to stop it from happening.

      Contemplating that one will really give a person a bad case of negativity.

      The good news: Extremely low odds of happening. The Earth really would have to be in just about the worst possible position at precisely the wrong moment. Otherwise 99.99999% of observable GRB’s will miss us.

      We are way more likely to be fried by our own sun due to a well timed and targeted CME at a bad time when the Earth’s magnetic fields are weakest than we are likely to walk into the path of a planet killing GRB.

    Covid-19 could either be nature’s way of getting our population to the best level, or nature just giving us a warning that 8 billion people is too much.

    It seems that nature has some built-in limits independent of human activity. We are definitely in red-line territory.

      Covid-19 could either be a giant fraud or a disease and much fear mongering.

      • beantownbill. April 9, 2021 at 4:57 pm #

        The CDC apparently helped fund Chinese research. My feeling is that the release of the gain-of-function of the virus was accidental because you’d have to be insane to purposely release it into the world, and the Chinese are not insane. Purposely disseminating the virus is like giving a toddler a loaded gun with which to play – there’s too many unknowns and mutations.

        As far as being a fraud – no. Fear mongering, definitely.

        • Blackbird April 9, 2021 at 5:10 pm #

          “The Chinese are not insane.” Maybe not, but what about US?

          Paul Craig Roberts asked (about a year ago) why the “Powers That Be” would release a high infectivity but low mortality engineered virus. Ummm, because it’s a lot easier to control than one that is highly lethal?

          • beantownbill. April 9, 2021 at 5:20 pm #

            Yes, but viruses mutate. Viruses share their DNA with other viral species, so introducing any virus is problematical. I do agree the US is crazy.

          • Night Owl April 9, 2021 at 5:58 pm #

            The initial events surrounding the “virus” were the biggest red flag of all.

            Go back and watch those videos out of Wuhan. People running down the street screaming, “dying” on the street, writhing in agony. Trucks driving down 4 lane highways randomly spraying a substance that could not have been effective for an area larger than 50 feet.

            Then there were the live first-person camera shots of Covid police welding people in their apartments.

            Go back and watch. The shit looked fake then, and it is utter comedy now.

            Straight out of China, who just petitioned the WHO to be involved in the passport/app data tracking.

            Pre-programming.

            This is the greatest hoax in history.

            Owl,

            When I saw those ridiculous scenes (what does that have to do with the flu?) presented by underwear model David Muir, I told family and friends, “That’s coming here.” My new paradigm.

            Seriously, was just talking to my elderly neighbors over the fence, they asked, “Did you get your shot yet?” As if it’s a given.

            I said, “No.” And they said then when I come over they’ll wear masks.

            Even though they got the jab. And even though I’m obviously healthy.

            Insanity on wheels.

      • Night Owl April 9, 2021 at 4:45 pm #

        It is higher for those under 70.

        That said, none of this matters because we don’t have a deadly pandemic.

        We have an elite class of psychopaths who own the chessboard and would have the peons below them cower and tell porkies.

        I was surprised that the WHO admitted the PCR test was a fraud, but then again, when the psychopaths own the media, most aren’t even aware of it.

        • beantownbill. April 9, 2021 at 5:04 pm #

          I disagree with it not being deadly. I don’t know how many really died of it, but thousands did. A flu is deadly for some people, and when one appears, the public should be warned. I believe the death rate for over 70’s is around 5%. Fear-mongering is uncalled for, but theoretically the job of medicine is to save lives and alleviate suffering.

          • Night Owl April 9, 2021 at 5:28 pm #

            Thousands?

            That is the metric?

          • MaryV April 9, 2021 at 6:31 pm #

            Remember when no one freaked out about the flu every year?

            Even during really bad ones like in 1969.

            Remember the suppressed John Hopkin’s study: No overall increased death. They’re just playing with categories. And since everyone is in on it above the Capstone (look at the pyramid on the back of the dollar bill). They’ve been able to make this albatross fly. For society to work requires faith. They have abused that faith – in the most profound sense imaginable.

            Remember the story of Kisa Gotami from the Buddhist canon. She approached the Buddha with her dead infant in her arms. She implored him to bring it back to life. He said, Ok, but first you must bring me a seed from a household that has not known death. She tried all day and could find no such home. She returned and admitted that her request was against the Law of LIfe and Death. Perhaps you don’t want to see this since your time is approaching – as it is for all of us. But countless people die everyday. If you/we lived a more natural life, this would be more evident. But even when people did, they could still be in denial as the story of Kisa Gotami shows.

          • BackRowHeckler April 9, 2021 at 8:29 pm #

            Yeah that summer of 69 that Bryan Adam’s sang about.

            HK flu was pretty bad, astronauts on the moon had it, the VP, Dean Rusk, Agnes Morehead died from that flu.

            The year the Mets won the pennant, 55,000 fans packing into Shea every nite … Jets won the Superbowl, Knicks NBA champs, Woodstock as you mention. I think about 125,000 dead, no shutdowns, no quarantine, no mandatory masks.

            It was a different country then.

            Brh

          • MaryV April 9, 2021 at 9:21 pm #

            @Yohannon, I absolutely love that story. Thank you for sharing it.

            I think that does hit the nail on the head, doesn’t it? Our current culture is ‘anti-death’ – which is crazy. People die.

            So they rebranded death in 2020 and used a slick marketing campaign to sell it, and the WHO spent $50 million on ‘influencers’ to tell you from their mega-mansions that ‘we’re all in this together’. Some of them actually bought it and got the jab and looks like that didn’t go so well, as a few have dropped dead.

            We are so afraid of death that we are killing ourselves in bizarre ways trying to avoid it. This is the kind of irony that one almost can’t wrap their mind around.

          • MaryV April 9, 2021 at 10:53 pm #

            @BRH, do you wonder, as I do, that perhaps 1969 was the first attempt at what they are doing now?

            Have we seen the population fatality rate from that so called HK flu, and was it worse than the year before or after it?

            It seems like they try this every decade or so, and finally, the populace was conditioned enough to buy it.

        • MaryV April 10, 2021 at 1:02 pm #

          I joined a FB group where people post their vaxx horror stories. Just grabbed a few off the top (there are hundreds more):

          My mum had her first AstraZeneca jab on 18th March at 3pm. By the next morning at 9am my mum had suffered a severe stroke. She was in hospital for 2 weeks without visitors ?
          She thankfully got to see my dad last Tuesday morning 7th April. Sadly my mum died of a clot that evening. We are all broken and feel so angry

          My father received Moderna shot Jan 12 and passed away on Jan 13. Ironically, contracted COVID in November along with 57 other residents and 28 staff in his Brampton long-term care home, was never hospitalized and recovered in 2 weeks.

          My 26 year old daughter got guillian barre syndrome caused by the vaccination the hospital yellow carded it again yesterday there are 3 people in the same hospital with the same thing but they went home already she has been in hospital paralysed for 4 weeks she is going home today but still needa equipment to walk and help looking after her children . Vids are her trying to move her face pic is the kids seeming her first time on Wednesday (vids are heartbreaking)

          Hi everyone,
          Thank you for accepting me on this group.
          I was not sure about this vaccine, but age 36 with underlying health conditions had the 1st AstraZeneka vaccine early March this year. After a night of shaking high fever and totally out of it. I havent felt the same since. Extreem fatigue, headaches, insomnia and brain fog. I can’t seem to concerntrate or even think. I’ve used alternative medicines to try and help me return to normal, stopped my contracptive pill as this can also cause blood clots, to limit my chance. As a busy mum with 3 young children am scared to get the second jab due in May. Now Im thinking I shouldn’t.

          Hi all. My auntie had the vaccine as she was emigrating to Canada. She was 69. House sold and new one almost built. The day after the vaccine she went to the docs with a badly swollen head. The doc told her it was shingles. She was in hospital and in intensive care within 2 days and sadly died a week later. Cause of death, heart failure.

          My father, received his second jab 2 weeks ago per his works regulations. Since then, he has had chest pains resulting in him having to use his nitroglycerin tablets on more then one occasion. He also has “the rash” which he was attributing to outdoor seasonal allergies, however after reading through I’m sure is from the jabs.

          To the “fact checkers” of Facebook. I had my Pfizer vaccine on 1/5/2021.. it has completely changed my life. I lost my job, I can’t drive and only go out in Public on my good days with hopes that full body convulsions doesn’t start. I have had them out in the public and it’s very embarrassing to see people stare and wonder what’s wrong with her. I am begging one of you so called “fact checkers” to contact me so I can submit my medical documentation to clear my name.
          With that being said, for those following my story, I have been 9 days without convulsions. I am still having mild tremors, muscle weakness and headaches but I do feel like something is finally working. I have connected with many others just like me and we all have the same symptoms. The thing that scares me, one of the women in my group has been fine since February and is now suffering with the same symptoms again. When does it end for us? We have a story to tell and it will be told. I have big news coming out soon to the public.
          To all my friends and family don’t let what happened to me be the reason you do not get vaccinated. I want you to do your research and make your decision on your own.
          Thank you for the continued support and prayers. I am learning how to manage my new life and I have faith that God has a plan for me. He has showed me the pathway, and now I am following this path. I will be the voice for Thousands just like me. I am strong, intelligent and now very educated in the COVID vaccine and the actually virus it’s self. Bless all of you and once again thank you for the prayers!

          My mum had her jab at the end of February and died on the 10th March. The jab was 100% responsible for her death, she was walking around one day and the very next morning couldn’t move.

          This is my husband almost two months after he had the jab (picture is an ashes urn). His picture is in the cover picture for the group. This has to stop. There’s too many people out there like me who are just being ignored.

          I had the first jab (and only) AstraZeneca vaccine 25 days ago. I almost died (no exaggeration). I was violently sick and unable to move (throwing up on myself) for 6 hours. I was in and out of consciousness. My 9 year old son called an ambulance but they never came. I have now eventually, finally spoken to doctors about my experience. They were shocked at my reaction to the vaccine and then at the failings of the NHS. My GP said that there had been a 10 month gap between her having Covid and having the jab and both times she had very extreme reactions. She therefore said that she couldn’t imagine how it was for me having had covid and then the first vaccine so close. Two doctors said that they anticipated I would have the same reaction if I chose to have the second vaccine and both said that I did not have to do that. My gp friend said that she is working in the vaccine rollout in her area and they have treated over 20,000 people and she was quite impressed to say that my reaction was the worst she has seen or heard of to date. That’s a title I did not want…

          I received the first dose of Pfizer on 3/28. I had nothing but a sore arm for the first couple days and then had a major episode on 3/31. I experienced an intense heat sensational all over, tunnel vision, dizziness, strong metal taste in my mouth and full body convulsions. It lasted around 5 minutes and then eased up a bit, but the shaking/tremors and dizziness remained.
          On 4/1 I woke up feeling fine and the. Around lunch time it started again, this time with a strong pinching sensation in my chest/back. My doctor told me to go to the ER, which I did. Tests were run… nothing notable on anything.
          Since then, my symptoms have remained the same and new ones have come on. New ones: I developed a sunburn like rash around my eyes which is now peeling on one side, intense ringing in my ears and also amplified sound (kinda like someone turns the radio up super high and then back down), my head shakes back and forth and I’m noticing my speech is running together – I have to really try to annunciate. My dr referred me to a neurologist due to all of this.
          I am a healthy, active 35 year old with no prior health issues before getting the ?. This is terrifying!

          So…. a bloke in my class was delighted to tell me that he was booked for the nasty poison jab from Oxford, despite me trying to advise him to do some research into the whole scandemic and also side effects of vaccination and especially in tested ones he stil went ahead. Within 10 days he is now paralysed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. Devastating to see but what can you do ?

          My grand dad passed away..and I couldn’t do anything….Am hardly able to eat..Its been a week but I feel like it was yesterday…I feel like a zombie…And I wish I had stopped him…like physically flung myself on him and stopped him…But why do my other family members want to take the risk for something that will last for 2 weeks is beyond me…I cannot go through this again…He was 87 years old..Was perfectly fine before…No post mortem..no answers..he wasn’t admitted to the hospital even when he complained of palpitations…He had a heart attack…4 days after Jab 1..This was Astrazenenca..

          Had my 1st Astra Zeneca jab on the 11th March at 2.15. Woke just before midnight with my teeth banging together, not chattering banging. This was followed by uncontrollable arms and legs shaking for just about an hour. 6 days later a large blood clot appeared in my throat and a little later one in my nose. Had a chest X-ray and went to ENT department at hospital, had a camera up my nose and down into my throat to see where the bleed had come from. Nothing was found. I’m Assuming it was the jab. I’m 65 and won’t be having the 2nd one. I have filled in the yellow card regarding this. Was terrifying ? I forgot to add I also was violently sick after the shaking stopped.

          Hi,
          I’m from the UK and lost my partner on the 24th March after she had a rare allergic reaction (CVST) to the Astra Zeneca vaccine.
          She took it on the 9th March, and developed a very painful headache around 6 days later.
          I’m not here to speak ills of vaccines etc as i trully believe in them.
          But i’m going to join groups like this one in the hope that i can find someone else (from the UK preferably) who has also lost someone because of the blood clot side effect. (one of the 7 reported to have died from this), and would llke to talk to them about it, and the experience that they had from time of the vaccine till…well…the end.
          Her name was Sara (pronounced Sarah), and she was 32 years old.
          She was fit and healthy girl, full of life and energy, was inspirational with all that she had achieved in her life, and i am so, so proud of her.
          Thankyou,
          Paul

          Yes, and also subject to the same bumbling, stumbling, often error-prone, and mostly politically conflicted. leadership in a crisis.

          The Covid-19 pandemic is very real, and deadly for a sufficiently high number of people that a wide range of tough public health measures to have been tried, with varying levels of success, and public support.

          The pandemic has tested governments, scientists, and bureaucrats – sometimes to very serious limits. Trump scoffing at it cost him a second term, without doubt in my view.

          There have been mistakes, and some of them are on-going, but overall – the countries that have taken the pandemic seriously, and had both the infrastructure and the right culture, have had far better outcomes than the gung-ho – Brazil say.

          But two things are clear – the claims that Covid-19 is a hoax are totally ludicrous, and the conspiracy claims that the virus is being used by the mysterious global elites to control people and population levels are equally ridiculous.

          There might be issues with the efficacy of the vaccine – but millions have taken it successfully. Again, conspiracy claims about the vaccine being a deliberate control mechanism, are ridiculous too.

          It’s a pandemic – they happen – and we should be very grateful that (a) it wasn’t super-lethal since it is so contagious, and (b) we live in an age when medical biotechnology is so advanced.

            In the sense that flu virus variants come along from time to time and kill a few vulnerable mostly oldsters, no its not a hoax.

            But that is not what happened … there were overwhelmed hospitals and medical staff – there were a lot of people in ICUs and a lot of people not surviving.

            With no treatment, and no vaccine, and a very high infection / transmission rate – it was essential that action was taken. The use of sanitizer, masks, and social distancing worked – so did lockdowns and the closure of public-gathering places.

            The problem is not that the people have been seduced into a sheep-like state of quiet panic – it is the understanding that without a vaccine, bad surges could happen again.

            Wearing a mask and practicing social distancing aren’t that bad – compared to the alternative. Meanwhile the issue of vaccine efficacy in the face of mutations and variants is a very real one, I agree.

            Tek, there is zero evidence that masks work. Look at France. Look anywhere in the world. There is no correlation whatsoever between countries/states with the most draconian mask enforcement and those with a laissez-faire approach. I’m really tired of this mask nonsense.

            Lockdowns, yes, of course they work. If you place a whole population under house arrest then it is obvious that nothing will get transmitted. It is also unsustainable, and a life not worth living, in order to save the small minority of people that have already lived beyond the average life expectancy.

      • Wizard of the Saddle April 11, 2021 at 8:48 pm #

        Mary, you are quite right. You’re earlier comment about folks asking if you’ve got your shot yet resonated. I’ve been asked this question by people I interact with in public in the course of my job at least 3 times in the past week. Of course, the interrogators are all terrified of the COVID and dutifully RAN to the vaccination stations for their government sponsored jabs at the first opportunity.

        When I answer “No,” their eyes go wide and they immediately ask “Why not?” When I tell them I think the threat is exaggerated and the vaccines are potentially dangerous, they argue. I try to disengage without insulting them for being easily manipulated sheeple. (It does no good to debate the brainwashed). The conversation ends, but I’m quite certain they regard me as some sort of COVID Typhoid Mary who now represents a mortal threat to civilization.

        Whatever. It changes nothing for me. I will not take any COVID vaccine until I am thoroughly satisfied that It is necessary, safe, and beneficial to my own personal health and well-being. I read extensively and listen to all sides, but remain skeptical, so no jab for me for now.

        I will continue to watch and wait and see how this entire manufactured soap opera of a pandemic plays out.

        In the meantime, I remain more fearful of dying from influenza or pneumonia than COVID-19.

Even though right now I only see them on Zoom while our college is locked down (hell I moved to another state – lol), they are all chirping happily about feeling like shit and at death’s door after the jab and I’m just silent. I am undecided about whether, if asked, I will say my health care choices are none of their fucking business, or if I’ll say I’m not a lab rat type, to be experimented upon.

          Yeah you could not pay me to get this vaccine. I have been reading horror stories for weeks.

    The BID?N U.S. is now at peak absurdity. His ventriloquists are nihilists. Utopians always are, because they cannot bear reality. The few exceptions were the so-called “Puritans” and other whacko types who decided — and decide — to go into some wilderness and build a new, pure, society. Some of them end up committing mass suicide, which is what the results of BID?N’s stringpullers will eventually bring about for America. After all, society must be cleansed of its White population in order to give total control to the Left. It is never mentioned that, in the last half-century, the lowest-IQ race in America has been supported by countless trillions of White dollars, all of which has accomplished virtually nothing except to breed more crime and insanity.

    The November, 2020 presidential election was a catastrophe for the country and the world. The sociopathic megabillionaires successfully bought the election. The FBI and Department of Justice had already been corrupted by the pre-Trump administration, and the media, like most of government-supported academe, has long consisted of Marxist-leaning propagandists. Also, there is almost no sector of the federal or Democrat-run state governments that are free of tyrannical heads seeking to expand their despotic reach.

    Even before the ChiCom virus, Democrat-infested cities were plagued by so-called “homeless” vagrants living in tents surrounded by trash. But since the BID?N takeover, this horror has multiplied many times over. It is now difficult to find a commercial street anywhere which is unlined by such humanoid filth. As an outward sign and result of the Sörös-led corruption of governments at all levels, the walls of commercial and domestic buildings everywhere are covered with foul and indecipherable graffiti defacing them. Insane individuals, many of them high on drugs, infect urban centers and residential areas ubiquitously, including the vicinities of schools, while the Leftist authorities invent drivel about future solutions if given enough power, at the same time that they blame everything on traditional Whites and import vast numbers of ThirdWorld scum. The cover for this inertia and breakdown, according to BID?N, is “humanness.”

    Meanwhile the presidential puppet threatens to enter Ukraine’s war against Russia. Perhaps as repayment for the bribes he got from that country? Or to divert the masses from the money his party is surreptitiously getting from narcotrafficking and people-smuggling?

    The façade of the nihilists is wearing thinner by the day.

      “While leftist authorities invent drivel about future solutions” haha good line Theedrich. Its called ‘Re imagining’ … mayors and city councils in Seattle, Portland, Baltimore, LA, Minneapolis and a dozen other cities across the USA are Re imagining the police’, and ‘Re imagining homeleness’ as their cities devolve into squalid, bloody, unlivable sh#tholes.

      On the face of it, all this ‘Re imagining’ by lefty mayors seems to be a way of saying I’ve got my head stuck up my ass and I don’t know what to do.

      The November, 2020 presidential election was a catastrophe for the country and the world. The sociopathic megabillionaires successfully bought the election.

Also, there is almost no sector of the federal or Democrat-run state governments that are free of tyrannical heads seeking to expand their despotic reach.

      Why was it a catastrophe? The very point of a democracy is that parties compete, and the one party is never in power too long. Trump lost the election (in my view) because he was a very bad president, he bungled the pandemic response, and he couldn’t change the reality that about 55% of voters wish to deny him a second term.

      Massive tax cuts for billionaires and attacks on the welfare safety net are not going to win you popular support.

      But the Republicans still retain a lot of power – with decent policies they could win the House and Senate in November 2022, and they hold around 35 of the state houses, and the US Supreme Court.

      But I think they’re playing it very badly by universally blocking the stimulus bill and the infrastructure bill – these measures are popular with many Republican voters as well. Who do these Congress members think they represent? The Democrats will cane them in midterm campaign advertising.

        Were you around in the 60s and 70s when the hyperinflation was rampant. I would be surprised if you were.

        Folks who were have enough smarts to fear hyperinflation. You are a typical lib, spend , spend and spend some more. We have spent ourselves into $30 trillion and nothing has really improved, we continue to fall. Spending solves nothing, spending for the sake of spending most of al, especially spending to get votes.

        Doubling the money supply just doubles the cost of everything.

        I would agree with you about infrastructure if that is what the bill was about. Maybe 25%? The rest goes into all the buy votes pet projects of the Dems.

        You are obviously a gimme, the job of government is to give us stuff.

        Trump’s tax cuts, by the way, were rated by Moody’s to give more to the middle class than the rich. It is a fact that the bottom third of the population got more from Trump’s time than others. You are another voice for the bulls&&tting Liberal media and the lies that sustain them.

        If 2022 goes to the Dems, it is time to make plans outside the US because it is going to turn into a slum.

        • Tekapo April 9, 2021 at 9:19 pm #

          Were you around in the 60s and 70s when the hyperinflation was rampant. I would be surprised if you were.

          I was a kid in the 60s and a student / young adult in the 70s … but I don’t recall hyper-inflation. I do recall very high interest rates in the 1990s however.

          Today the problem is the reverse – we have zero interest rates, which presumably favor the very well-off, and huge numbers of ordinary workers or retirees cannot build even modest amounts of income security via investing their savings.

          I agree with you entirely that humongous debt is a very serious issue. But it was exacerbated by the huge cuts in corporate tax, and rich-poke taxes.

          It is a political issue – what rates of tax are appropriate and “best” for a functioning economy? How much tax should the wealthy pay?

          I am certainly not a “gimme” – neither personally (no debt, no government welfare) nor in respect of the whole population.

          I think it’s appalling that millions of people have no other way of living, other than t receive government welfare. And that it goes on for generations. I don’t have a solution, but if the stimulus bill and the infrastructure bill lead to a significant increase in real jobs – that’s a good thing I would think.

          My point was that there are a lot of poor people who live in Republican districts, and they would welcome these bills – but for political / ideological reasons, their reps and senators vote against these measures.

        Trump bungled the pandemic? Trump’s actions gave us not one, not two, but three vaccines in less than a year – something all the experts, including St. Fauci predicted was impossible, vaccines that 90% of the world’s nations are begging us for right now. Name one single thing the Democrats have done differently from Trump to fight the pandemic – you can’t, because there are none.

    According to a recent poll, 50% of the American people think that The Rock would make a great Leader and a great US President. It must be The Rock’s movies? Trump was the TV show personality in “The Apprentice”. Somehow the Evangelical Christians seem to have convinced themselves that Trump is God’s “Chosen One” to save America and that God will return Trump to the White House in August 2021. Meanwhile, Trump is out pushing everyone to take Biden’s dodgy “Operation Warp Speed” experimental vaccines and to get their privacy and freedom-killing Vaccine Passport. But Trump only pushes the vaccines made by American pharmaceutical companies…. Good Lord! Meanwhile, 50% of Americans are lining up to get their experimental Jabs, like Jonestown, Guyana. Totally insane…. Some people think that the C..IA was monitoring Jonestown as a social experiment and as a case study of an American totalitarian movement.

    If the WHO and the CDC had just been honest about the nature of the virus, 99% of the bullshit that has evolved since last February would never have happened. No shutdowns, no collapse of the service sector, little economic impact. The virus is a slightly more infectious, slightly more deadly disease than the flu. As there was no vaccine or known virus killer, protecting oneself, social distancing and masking were picked. Once picked, it was time to go back to work.

    Oh no. Not with Trump in the White House. Bill Maher had him economy buster, the recession to destroy Trump. The Dems leaped onto the crud and exploited it for everything it was worth.

    Instead of the Dems being rewarded for doing their Covid thing, they should be lined up and shot for treason.

    Trump knew the CDC was full of political shit but was compromised by Impeachment 2. He knew that the vaccine was the only thing that was going to control the virus so he put full effort into that and produced a miracle.

    We have lost Trump, and with him the common sense of the country.

      The virus is a slightly more infectious, slightly more deadly disease than the flu. As there was no vaccine or known virus killer, protecting oneself, social distancing and masking were picked. Once picked, it was time to go back to work.

      Problem was that it was so contagious, and in the first waves, hospitals in cities – and their staff – were overwhelmed. Plus asymptomatic transmission and long lead times meant that it spread quickly and silently. Old people were very vulnerable.

      I agree that there were significant mistakes made, and politics muddied the waters, but authorities believed that lockdowns and closures of public places were essential.

      And realistically, if authorities had done much less, but it had killed many more, then we’d be kicking authorities to pieces for “not doing enough”.

      Matching the public health response accurately to the health threat can be a difficult needle to thread. Things are often clear in hindsight.

      Donald Trump backed the wrong horse – downplaying the severity of the pandemic – and it cost him dearly, in my view.

    Everyone of them were better people than George Floyd.

    In regards to his death, the “experts” are playing causality games. One said there is no evidence that he would have died that night without that knee on his neck. But that is not evidence that it killed him by itself. It may well have been everything combined: the drugs, the disease, his poor overall condition, the stress of being arrested, and the physical stress of the knee.

    Being who he was, and his condition (high as a kite), he couldn’t just obey orders and sit quietly in the back of the car. He killed himself, both in general and in the proximate sense. It’s a Black thing to get into an extreme condition and create an extreme situation and then blame responding Whites when it doesn’t turn out well. Tragically, our Civilization is now accepting this mentality and standard for police officers.

    • JohnAZ April 9, 2021 at 8:19 pm #

        If the American standard of criminal law (guilty beyond any reasonable of doubt) is followed, he will get off. They cannot prove that he killed Floyd. In retrospect, maybe he should have let him sit up, as it’s harder to breath on one’s stomach. But they were already surrounded by an angry crowd, and Floyd had taken advantage of every leniency given to him up to that point. Hindsight can be perfect. Action in the moment seldom is. They hold Whites to a very high standard, themselves none at all.

    Pro-immigration French tycoon and his wife assaulted by four migrant home-jackers
    French tycoon and former Adidas owner Bernard Tapie and his wife were attacked by four immigrants in a violent burglary at their home in Combs-la-Ville (Seine-et-Marne) near Paris. According to a police source, of the four suspects, three were of an “African type” and one of a “North African type”.

    Published: April 7, 2021, 1:55 pm

    COMBS-LA-VILLE
    The four attackers reportedly gained access to the couple’s estate before entering through the window of one of the bedrooms on the first floor. An item belonging to them was found there. They allegedly knew the lay-out of the home.

    The couple were tied up with electrical cords, physically assaulted and robbed. Bernard Tapie, 78, who was briefly a government minister, has always been a vocal advocate for immigration. And Tapie tried to reason with his torturers to make them aware of this fact. But when Tapie told the attackers that he had always stood up for migrants, one of the torturers replied: “Fuck you, that time is over!”

    Tapie and his wife, Dominique, 70, had been sleeping when the assailants confronted them. “They were woken up by flashlights in the face,” a person close to the case told le Parisien. The couple were dragged from their bed, assaulted and tied up. “The attackers wanted to know where the safe was. They attacked Dominique, hitting her in the face,” this source explained. Bernard Tapie, for his part, received a violent blow with a baton behind the head, which left him stunned and confused.

    The investigation has now been taken over by prosecutors in the capital Paris. Investigators from the Versailles judicial police initially had to reconstruct the attack without CCTV images: there were no cameras around the residence. But according to information from the Parisian daily, a glove was found on the scene.

    According to a police source, the four immigrant suspects were all dressed in black and hooded. During the burglary and the forcible confinement, Bernard Tapie was reportedly hit in the back of the head while his wife was allegedly beaten repeatedly in the face before being dragged around the house by her hair. An ambulance transported Dominique Tapie to hospital but not her husband.

    The guardian of the property and her husband were also present on the ground floor of the home at the time of the facts but did not intervene believing that they were hearing a simple discussion between the couple.

    Tapie has been at the centre of legal battles concerning corruption and fraud for decades, and has spent time in jail.

    The Tapie couple returned to their home on Sunday evening, very tired. An investigation for “organized robbery”, “kidnapping” and “criminal association” was opened by the Versailles prosecutor’s office, BFMTV reported.

    Jean Messiha, an Egyptian-born French economist and former senior civil servant at the Ministry of Defence, who is close to the National Rally, and heads the newly-founded right-wing Apollo Institute think tank, tweeted that the “same Bernard Tapie who accused Jean-Marie Le Pen of lies about the link between insecurity and migratory invasion, has caught up with reality today”. He dryly added: “Get well soon!”

    Yoho: He tells the Africans that he has always been on their side. Their response: “Fuck you. That time is over.” What have you done for us lately, in other words. As if they had felt any gratitude back then either. The predator feels no gratitude to the prey. The prey’s job is to die.

      That reminds me of Alan Paton’s wife. Alan Paton was author of ‘Cry, My Beloved Country’, a well known anti-apartheid author, and hater of White South Africa. He went toes up before DeKlerk turned over the country, but when apartheid ended a group of black SAfricans showed up at the Paton homestead and murdered Mrs. Paton (in a most brutal manner) Tough luck there.

      I think a few days ago a UK billionaire was stabbed to death outside his townhouse in London. Can’t find much about it.

        These two just got roughed up – the wife quite a bit more for some reason. Maybe he was too frail and they didn’t want to kill and risk possible murder charges? They lucked out. Will they learn from it? Being so old – probably not. He was a high priest of this crap after all.

          A book written by a Frenchman, Jean Raspail, The Camp of the Saints 1973 caused a lot of anger in liberal circles due to its anti-immigration theme. To summarize, a large flotilla of the poorest of the poor arrive on the shores of France and proceed to overwhelm the country. Reading it, what surprised me, were the caricatures of the people championing this invasion. All of them are evident in people alive today–the crusading, self-righteous media stars, politicians who turn this into a weapon for self advancement and misguided philanthropists.

          It was denounced as racist (and it definitely is) but the author refused to apologize. He pointed out that if you allow large numbers from a culture with different customs and values from yours, at least part of your native culture will be destroyed.

          Surprisingly, the Dali Lama said the same thing a couple of years ago but more tactfully. He said the goal should be to return people to their own countries after helping them get on their feet. He’s had to face the erosion of the Tibetan culture due to the Chinese invasion and knows how quickly it can happen.

    The idea of vaccines to confront a hyper-rapidly mutating coronavirus is absurd and probably counterproductive since any vaccine invented to target a particular strain of the virus would be quickly thwarted by mutated virus strains, right? So, the only sensible strategy is to have the people boost their immune systems and to take therapies until about 2 years passes and the virus becomes endemic in the population in a much milder form, like the common cold, right? It’s just 90% politics….

            Just as Pfizer is the name of the company that makes another one, and the name of the vaccine is Comirnaty. That’ll be on the packaging soon too, if it isn’t already.

            The thing is, Herr Straight As An Arrow, there’s no need for the bad faith and the dishonesty. And (since I pointed out all of the above to you already, regarding the process of branding vaccines, the downright bare-faced lies).

            The whole globalist plot thing is a legitimate argument. People can take it or leave it, think about it, accept it, reject it, cherry pick parts of it or leave it entirely alone. It’s still a legitimate argument. For people to argue about.

            The Astra Zeneca vaccine is also being manufactured under licence by the Serum Institute of India, where its brand name is Covishield.

            It’s like medical branding was just invented in 2021.

            Like sex, as Philip Larkin told us, was invented in 1963.

            Four posts in a row.

            I know why.

            “AstraZeneca has renamed its Covid-19 vaccine, a move that coincides with the company’s struggle to reassure the public that its drug is safe, following numerous reports of potential adverse effects.
            The British-Swedish pharmaceutical has rebranded its jab, which previously went by the simple ‘AstraZeneca Covid-19 Vaccine’, to ‘Vaxzevria’. In a press release, the company said that the name change does not involve any alterations to the actual drug. Medical workers should be made aware of the rebrand though, the firm said, because the labeling and packaging can look different. ”

            In the wake of bans in over 20 countries after deaths and injuries.

            So you doubled down on the lie. Four times.

            https://www.rt.com/news/519574-astrazeneca-name-change-vaccine-vaxzevria/

            “However, it’s not clear whether the ‘Vaxzevria’ name change was motivated by the bad publicity, as the trademark application for the drug dates back to December. “

            In fact it’s clearer than anything you’ve ever read.

            So, the vaccine was not ‘renamed’ because of negative publicity. The name was applied for in December. Absolute lack of anything remotely sinister.

            So the RT ‘journalist’ deliberately twisted his/her presentation to create a false impression, and even after having the facts and logic explained to him the lying Narc repeats this utterly obvious deception.

            And this is the kind of sophistry our Narc friend regularly uses. Others will recognise it:

             Night Owl April 8, 2021 at 6:07 pm

            I said they renamed it in the wake of bad publicity. Which is entirely true and verifiable.

            This is how this devious toad argues. So it’s verifiable that it was renamed after the bad publicity because it takes time for branding to be approved. But he knows it’s utterly verifiable that the name was applied for in December, before any bad publicity because the fucking RT article says so..

            You have repeatedly tried to spread the lie that Astra Zenica ‘renamed’ their product ‘following’ (to be understood as ‘because of’) bad publicity, when the name it has been given is the first and only brand name it has ever had, which was applied for in December.

            Your twisting of words does not change this.

            Recounting the bad publicity is legitimate. Pretending they changed the product’s name when it previously didn’t have a name is not.

            Spot on. My physician had me tested for vitamin levels 3 or 4 years ago, and found the only thing low was D. So I’ve been taking it religiously since then.

            The ONLY time I’ve been sick has been from CO2 poisoning from a leaking heater in my condo last year. And I didn’t get all that sick then either.

          • Night Owl April 11, 2021 at 4:28 pm #

            I find the Vitamin D thing very interesting. Around the time I discovered it, it was not yet being widely touted as a cure for a variety of health problems.

            Not long after, it seemed Vitamin D news was everywhere (even in the MSM, where it was being pilloried, as most good things are). Have always been kinda curious about what is going on there.

            I recommened it to a colleague at work and she started up with a lower dose and was shocked at how much better she felt after about a week.

            I suggested it to my covid-paranoid elderly neighbor, who got the vax but is more masked up than ever now, and I got a blank stare, like, ‘why bother with vitamins when we have medicine?’

            This complete ignorance of the importance of nutrition is stunning to me. But not surprising. We have truly grown up – as did our parents – in an age of the idea that medicine fixes everything.

            When I took him in the previous owner was sure he was a goner, and had tried some very harsh chemical treatments on him.

            As things stand, he is gonna make it, but with a few scars.

            And yes, they get incredible high-end types of food and nutrition.

            At 12 they are spunky as can be. I also never got them vaxxed after their initial round. Except rabies, which we have to by law.

And the attempt to coerce humanity is simply criminal – a violation of International Law. But that won’t stop the Globalists as they own the courts for the most part now.

      How many people have heard that sunlight kills the virus versus how many people have heard that Trump said to ”drink bleach”?

          It was in vain. The Bernie Bros joined up and they are the worst misogynists alive as it turns out (was sort of a surprise to me). The trans agenda as it turns out gives them an excuse not only to beat up on women in public, but be rewarded socially for it as being ‘stunning and brave.’

          There was too much abuse there for me, so I left them on their own. Not interested in being part of a club that doesn’t want me as a member.

            Then post the zinger at the end, nullifying the 4 word salads the preceded said zinger. The zinger simply being a restatement of the facts (with proof) that were twisted.

            Then grab the popcorn.

            Do have a look at all Night Owl’s behaviour in what you would call ‘following me around’.

            No, actually, there’s no point in asking you, is there? You only see what you want to see.

            I presume you haven’t noticed that he lied about his Green Party membership or his cancellation of it.

            That he’s a liar doesn’t bother you. What kind of person lies on a discussion forum about something as silly as that?

            He’s had a personal vendetta going for an entire year because he was put out when shown some clinical trial results that he didn’t like.

            I’ve actually never seen an adult behave like this before.

          • GreenAlba April 11, 2021 at 4:38 pm #

      “Everything is basically fine, she shrieks!”

      Point me to a ‘shriek’ of ‘everything is basically, fine’.

      BTW, when you say (about anything at all) ‘it’s basically fine’, do you find that a sentence you can easily say while ‘shrieking’?

      Some people get a bit shrieky with admonitions like ‘smother your children, you sick mess’, but they have different personalities.

          Indeed, chill out and stop using silly words like ‘shriek’ when it’s someone you disagree with and ‘say’ when it’s someone you approve of.

          It’s a technique almost as old as speech.

            So I was just reading the FB group posts where people are talking about side effects of the jab, and one is atypical aggressive behavior.

            Being somewhat new to commenting here, has GA always had these sorts of meltdowns or is it new? I don’t remember her acting that way a few weeks back.

            Totally serious here.

          • Night Owl April 11, 2021 at 3:58 pm #

            There is a history. She was part of the Majella (banned three times, now Redneck Liberal) and Cargill (banned countless times, now Tekapo) McMedia Troof Triumvirate.

            The stories/fantasies spun about my past, family, education, school years, etc. have been a great source of hilarity. She has no limits and IMO is mentally ill, but not the kind of mental illness that would evoke compassion.

            It is what it is. But there is some incredibly disturbing stuff in the archive.

            OK good to know. I guess I have seen some references to all 3 being in cahoots, and formerly banned.

            Redneck is a particularly aggressive one, while Dr. Alba appears to be more passive-aggressive, until openly disagreed with, and then goes a bit bananas, shall we say?

            I guess GA was willing to pretend to be nice to me at first, until I said something about people willingly smothering their kids in masks (which I still maintain is child abuse) and likes to repost it all over the place as if I’m ashamed of saying it or something. LOL. Nope.

            I am guessing mental illness as well.

            Thank you for being so open about your gang bang methods.

            We have a regular poster here who takes vehement exception to the use of the word ‘crazy’ in an argument. Even if she has just posted five or six really long, really angry and really insulting posts herself. She has opined more than once that the tactic is the same as that employed in the USSR when psychiatry was co-opted by political villainy.

            Disagree with our views? You must be mentally ill. To the asylum with you.

            It has not been edifying watching the pair of you show that you are just a pair of Soviet-era-style political thugs, but one should be grateful for the clarity.

            MaryV, regarding your passive-aggression projections, could you perhaps clarifiy what kind of queries you are prepared to tolerate with regard to your comments.

            If you say no disagreement with your points or querying of them is acceptable, we can all bear that in mind.

            If there are simply severe limits, we can try to adhere to that as well.

        • MaryV April 11, 2021 at 4:27 pm #

          That is very funny.

    • GreenAlba April 10, 2021 at 6:26 am #

      You might want to look back at my conversation with ‘michael’ on the previous thread. Such a breath of fresh air to get detailed information from someone who knows what they’re talking about, without the political shrieking.

      You’ll recall (obviously, with your excellent memory for things people have said in the past) my statement way back last May or so, when Thwack first posted an article by Professor Giesicke, sidekick of Anders Tegnell, who’s been in charge of the Swedish Covid response, that I found his arguments ‘persuasive’. That was the actual word I used ( he wasn’t shrieking, so that helped).

      They kept primary schools and early secondary open, but moved older high school and university online. Also banned gatherings of over 50.

      But otherwise life went on, although even with lower schools open, many people kept their kids away anyway. And people were asked to be sensible and take what precautions they could.

      Well, once in a while I have a look to see how Sweden is doing. Still doing better than most of Europe and the UK, but of course not so well as their Scandinavian neighbours. But that’s not the end of the world. Interesting though, that in view of the huge increase in cases and hospitalisations, with their ICUs filling up, they’ve changed some tactics.

      And Anders Tegnall, while defending his decision not to encourage masks (partly because people don’t use them properly and it discourages them from distancing, which is more important) has now moved his thinking in view of the growing evidence, over the year, that masks make a difference.

      So, Stockholm and some other places are masking up, in shops and public transport. Imagine that.

      Short reference here:

      https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-23/swedish-face-mask-skepticism-fades-as-infection-rates-rise

      And a longer essay, for those who are properly interested in the Swedish situation, without the politics and the shrieking, here:

      • Yohannon April 10, 2021 at 1:02 pm #

        So you admit that the testing is a blatant fraud, which should be obvious to anyone with a mental age of 13, and an IQ above 90?

        You have the brains. You simply refuse to use them.

        • GreenAlba April 11, 2021 at 9:17 am #

          What on earth? Seriously, did you pay attention to anything I said?

          Sweden uses track and trace, which requires testing.

          There have been huge problems with false positives and false negatives. False positives inflate the ‘case’ numbers, so everyone on here shouts about them. False negatives make the numbers look lower than they actually are (and that’s before you start on countries where people just die of Covid, without medical help, and the deaths are never counted as Covid – see Mexico, for example. So nobody on here mentions the false negatives, except for neurodoc, who said studies showed they were in the 40-something percent region (up to 48%).

          As I understand it there are different kinds of tests, some much more accurate than others. We now (finally – took nearly a year) have lateral flow tests in the house as my husband is suppose to test himself twice a week when he’s working.

          But generally, as I’ve said to you multiple times before, I don’t care about ‘cases’ – I care about hospitalisations and deaths. And deaths maybe less than hospitalisations – partly because hospitals burst at the seams, eventually, when you do nothing at all, and staff eventually drop like flies. And partly because I want everyone to at least get a chance to survive and not be like the 22-year-old in São Paulo who was the first to die in his city specifically for the lack of a bed (one came up about 20 minutes after he died).

          My daughter is coming back from Singapore next month. She will arrive in England and quarantine there. The standard arrangement is to test yourself after 2 days and after 8 days, i think because the earlier you take it the more likely you are to get a false negative, in particular. She’s opting for an optional extra 5-day test, because if the 2-day and 5-day tests are both negative she can go on her way. Belt and braces.

          • GreenAlba April 11, 2021 at 9:19 am #

            There was meant to be a question mark after the 48% in brackets.

          • GreenAlba April 11, 2021 at 9:52 am #

            And Sweden being Sweden, expects its citizens to operate the track and trace themselves!

          • Yohannon April 11, 2021 at 2:25 pm #

            Yup. You don’t get it. The testing is completely fraudulent. It’s a false positive machine. That’s why they picked it. Listen to Michael Yeadon from Pfizer. He says the same. A brave and principled man.

            The good guys aren’t in charge, Alba. The bad ones are. I’m not maligning regular nurses or doctors like your husband who don’t know any better.

    • Disaffected April 10, 2021 at 8:17 am #

      Had to go give blood for a routine medical appointment yesterday, and the testing clinic shared a waiting room with an allergy clinic that was also handing out the jab. Sat down next to a another couple old timers, and before you know it they got me started on the covid scam. We had a lively give and take going on which was apparently upsetting some of the other sheep waiting in the room waiting to get vaccine pricked before an administrator of some sort came out and told us to move to the other side of the waiting area out of their designated portion of the room.

      We all had a good laugh and mostly complied, although the first guy I started up with surprised me by refusing to move for a few minutes and further irritating the officious administrator, who actually threatened to call the cops! I don’t go out in public much now due to all the hysterical bullshit, but when I do I make it a point to try to stir up as much shit like this as I possibly can. This scamdemic has absolutely NOTHING to do with a routine flu virus variant and EVERYTHING to do with mass instilled mental illness.

      • GreenAlba April 10, 2021 at 9:17 am #

        Good that you had a good laugh. Laughter is the best medicine and you are now inoculated against everything from Ebola to ingrown toenails. 🙂

        A minor note re ‘routine flu variant’:

        Flu = influenza virus

        Covid – coronavirus

        Common cold = coronavirus, but more commonly rhinovirus.

        Good for you.

        You should stir things up, get people thinking.

        My wife is away this weekend doing a course for her work and the lecturer used to be a medical doctor. She is somewhat well known here in Germany and is an outspoken critic, believing that the economic shutdowns are aimed at creating a massive transfer of wealth that will lead us into the new society the Schwab and his Transhumanist friends have written so much about.

        Has been great to see how many are beginning to speak up, particularly when they have professional backgrounds that make it harder for the media to shut them out.

        • Disaffected April 10, 2021 at 11:15 am #

      I hope you have fun telling all the families that have had members die from this cold, especially the younger folks, that it is no big thing. Think about this, would it be worth defensive tactics like masking and distancing if it reduced the number of flu cases and colds in society. People would not have to put up with the misery of 2-3 weeks of a viral infection. Do you promote people getting sick to avoid wearing a mask during virus season? It is already a FACT that taking precautions against Covid has reduced the incidence of flu to near zero.

      What next, Y, will you come out against flu shots, then the polio shot, how about small pox. All vaccines modify the actions of our bodies and the immune system.

      • JohnAZ April 10, 2021 at 12:10 pm #

        BTW, I have never been “for” the political manipulation of the virus. You can thank the media led Deep State for that. I have always believed that during the time until vaccine availability, precautions should be put in place and life should go on. It is the Leftist power folks that have manipulated this disease to their great advantage.

        Think about this, most of the panic generated and the spread of this disease happened in cities, by a huge majority. The original recommendations said if you cannot maintain your personal space, cities are famous for that, you should mask. It took six months, for some of us, to realize that indoor aerosol spread was the real culprit but droplet spread explained the really serious cases. Six months!

        The number one thing I have gotten from the Covid pandemic is something that JHK said in the Long Emergency, and WMBH. Government is a piece of s$&t and will never be able to manage much of anything. The CDC and its big brother, the WHO are worthless in handling a pandemic. If we ever have a high mortality, high transmission virus show up, hide because our governmental agencies will be worthless. Covid is just a training effort and we failed the test.

        When the population finally realizes this, society will fall apart.

        • Yohannon April 10, 2021 at 1:17 pm #

          There is no Pandemic. There is “life” of which death is part – a big part since it happens to everyone.

          You want LIFE. That’s good. You should and all normal people do. But don’t conflate LIFE with with life/death. This miserable little life is rife with misfortune, sickness, pain, all ended mercifully by death.

          The Life that doth abide in Light – that’s what we should be working towards here while ensconced in the sea of life/death. Mediate on a path of light made by the Sun across the Sea. Or the Moon if you are of a Lunarian character. Follow that path in your mind’s eye.

    Members of the radical left have released a wish list of items they hope are incorporated in the next infrastructure bill,
    prioritizing climate change initiatives and mass amnesty.

    The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) surveyed its 95 members, which include far-left members of the “Squad” — Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) — and released a list of priorities the CPC as a whole is advancing at the current stage of infrastructure discussions.

    The list includes five key areas, which include beefing up government-run health care and tackling climate-related issues while providing amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants.

      AOC and Omar are experts on everything.

On the contrary, the election of a Black Woman Mayor is evidence that all is lost and it is time to flee.
